It is a Razer Naga Epic. The scroll wheel is programmable, but I have it set to the default which says “Mouse Function”. But you’re probably right about the driver handling it different than you are expecting.

It is not a big deal and clearly I am trying to use Markers for more than just WvW which you intended. I’ll still be able to use it for what I want though and will be happy to try out the next version.

With our without zooming out, the marker stays in the same position on the map if I move the map around with the map. If I zoom out, whatever part of the map the marker ends up being on, it will stay there while I move the map around.

Lions Arch at the Mystic Forge. 1920×1080 (TV connected via HDMI). As I zoom out the marker stays in the same part of the screen while the map zooms out. But the map has moved as a result of the zooming process so the marker no longer matches. At the higher level of zoom the marker is in that undeveloped area to the West of LA while LA itself is still on the screen.

I tried to make a video to show you but Overwolf’s recorder doesn’t record the markers because it doesn’t see that as part of the app. I’ll try FRAPS and see if that works.

Edit: I found an option in Overwolf to record the apps too, but I’d already FRAPS’d it. Video is processing now, when its ready, click here: http://youtu.be/MeegTo2wlgw

That’s ok, I’m a programmer too. I’m used to it. The update works great. Changed the buttons around and added some markers. Looking forward to marking where some fixed resource nodes are on the map so I’ll stop forgetting Thanks!

Edit: I don’t know what the api looks like, but if you can track the zoom level on the map then it would be nice if the markers adjusted. Right now if you zoom the map the markers get all wonky.

I got it to run, but can’t seem to change any of the hotkeys. I’m using some of the number pad keys for things so I need to change Marker’s hotkeys.

We also had a WvW event planned in CD before hand. It was an inevitable clash. We appologize for all the problems, next time maybe TCBL might be a good place for a TC RP party since it’s not as busy at night.

I wish you had planned your event for FABL. We’re banking 55 points right now and don’t hold Garrison, Hills, Bay, or basically anything south of citadel.

Well I hope next time there is a truce in the jumping puzzle or a fight club in Ogres that BT and PD will come “play the game” then too. I’m so disgusted at FA right now. Specifically BT. They didn’t know about the event until I told them an hour before. They still went in and ruined it for everyone. In fact, see you guys in a few days. I guess its time to run some dungeons, or god help me, some fractals.

If we make it happen, let’s all of us just try to turn off auto-attack and be careful with whatever we do. We don’t want a brawl at a friendly parade.
I once mistakenly hit an enemy in EB JP while activating my speed skill. I was like OH SH**. I jumped down, waved, cried and all that and eventually got killed as I didn’t mean to be hostile.
Anyway, it would be great if this parade actually takes place.

When there is a jumping puzzle truce, I change to my city clothes so I don’t screw up and attack someone. Wouldn’t work I guess for some classes.

Greetings fellow players of the opposing teams. What a rousing good time we had in that last battle, eh? I hoist a mug of ale at your competence and hope to see you on the battlefield for more fisticuffs. But not until after second breakfast please. That wouldn’t be very sporting.

Apparently only rousing congratulations are permitted in this war game forum. So I congratulate you my foes on the battlefield, but mates every where else.

lol I’m having a hard time discerning if that was sarcasm or you need therapy!

Its 100% true, so I probably need therapy. But in my defense, I would stop celebrating as soon as she was done emptying her bank account into mine. When I land on her Boardwalk/PP combo with hotels, I won’t hear the end of it for at least a week. She will leave odes to her victory on the whiteboard in my office. And they won’t be of the “Offspring gestures” variety either I can tell you that.

lol, was just going to say the same thing. I get this from both CD and FA after 12 jump on little old solo me. Fair fight! But it’s part of WvW .. if you happen to be caught with your pants down, you’re going to get staked. Just the risk you take when you run through the zone.

And while I’m not a big fan of the /laugh emote after killing people (I think it’s a bit cheap to be honest), it’s not limited to any one server.

(Love that the original OP came to grumble about the /laughing, but apparently also to brag a bit too! It’s all good! )

The only crime here is that there aren’t more emotes. 1/2 the fun of playing CoD with my 10 yr old is listening to him call me, lets see if I have the entire list, n00b, nugget, poser, fng, girl, old man, meh.. I’m missing a few. He also says things like: stop it, you suck, and my personal favorite “I don’t love you any more.” But that is because I always make sure my first kill of the night is with a knife.

Its a game. I have no problem with people celebrating their victories. Who doesn’t jump out of their chair and do a little dance when they own Boardwalk and Park Place with hotels and their 9yr old daughter lands on it? Well, good daddies I guess, but I’m not one of those.

It’s presumed that as a corpse you are spying for a larger group. It’s dirty to not release, you have only sinister reasons to not release.

Is it just me, or does anyone else always find these good times to go afk, get a drink, use the bathroom, talk with the wife, etc, etc. I love coming back to people still standing around my corpse while I was eating my supper and watching TV.

I do that too. I feel bad when I come back and find someone server mate rez’d me too. Then I’m just standing around in an open field like a dork and I don’t need any help in the looking like a dork department.

But when I am down I also spend time reporting on troop movement and strength, clicking on various siege, walls, and doors reporting their health. The game shouldn’t allow defeated players to spy like that. But until it goes away, it is prudent to use that ‘feature’.

Wasn’t a lot of TC folks jumping on the “there isn’t any alliance, lol!” bandwagon just recently? But some are the first to cry foul when their borderlands are split a bit?

Silly imho.

Just because a borderlands has two different colors on it, doesn’t always mean there’s some secret alliance. However if there is one that I don’t know about – my bad as I’ve heard nothing of it.

Its talked about quite openly, in this thread, by Derv himself. Its not a secret.

It’s likely imagined on my part, but it looks as though FA is getting a raw deal out of the current alliance. Is that because things didn’t work out correctly at the start of the week?

Basically what I’m asking is, from the FA perspective, is everything going as planned now that you’ve settled into the alliance phase of things?

There was no alliance at the start of the week. Attempts at one were started Saturday afternoon.. taken a few days to get a majority on board. Like I said in a prev post on this thread, the alliance may not help much this week because it will take awhile to get the word out. But since this matchup will happen again next week it could work out much better then if we can keep it going.

Wow, o.o… How you managed to express all that concisely and not go over the posting limit is a skill I will never possess.

But yeah, that’s pretty much exactly what I and the leadership of my guild would agree on. This kind of stuff has costed us an assault on Hills keep in TC BL, where CD pulled out completely after their keep on their own BL was taken (by us) and TC focused us and kicked us out of their BL.

A) This is a recent change in even our thinking. In previous matchups even GODS has gone after #2 when we were #3. I love our current strategy of going after #1 and not fighting for second.

B) I am not the boss of anyone else in the game. Others have their own goals and their own strategy to accomplish them. I am not kidding when I say I met a guy in FA BL at the crafting area who was crafting his way to 80 with gold “some friend” had sent him. I asked him what he planned to do when he was 80. Go play some other game he responded. WTH? I don’t understand him, but he was happy (and naked) and he had paid his $60 so I don’t get to make him do what I want. Other guilds and militia on FA can do what they want. Just because a few guilds have decided on a different strat doesn’t mean everyone will go along with it.

C) I would bet virtually no one who plays WvW reads this forum. An even tinier population of those people read the specific FA web site we have. So even getting those who would be sympathetic to a change in strategy on board will take time.

So lets have a new FA strategy of going for 1st come what may. Lets get as many guilds and players to go along with that as possible. And lets give it a couple of weeks at least to get the boat reoriented on the new course before pronouncing it a failure. I mean, we can’t get people to stop taking supply from keeps/towers to repair walls that are being trebbed even when we are sitting in chat asking them not to. In that environment, if you expect a major change in tactics to take hold between Saturday afternoon and Monday morning, you’re going to have a bad time.

In my personal opinion, 1200 Range Weapon Needed

[…]The only way I can seem to make the shortbow worth using is going from cond build to crit so the thing at least hits harder.

Thief is supposed to be built around crit and power. Going for pure condi damage means kittening yourself. Sure, you can do this, you can do many things in this game, but it won’t be as effective as crit/power.

I found plenty of what seemed like good condition builds. And it works as long as I’m in a group in WvW (all I play). But with just a few of us, or solo, I can’t survive even 1v1. So yeah, crit/power, has been a lot better just in the few days I’ve been doing it.

P.S. Btw AN, using “kitten” to censor obscene words is fnny but give it a couple more months and kitten will have a new meaning in the GW2 player’s vocabulary. Way to kitten the kittens.

I used to wonder why everyone was talking about kittens all the time. Im such a perpetual n00b that it actually took me a bit to work it out. think I’ll start saying “kitten” on raidcall all the time. I think hearing “the kitten gate is down” would be hilarious. I’ll tell people the raidcall server has a new profanity filter and send them off looking for the option to turn it off.

Anti infraction comment: thief is a melee class so I’m ok with no long range weapon. But seriously why can rangers fire 20 from their longbow for every one from my shortbow? The only way I can seem to make the shortbow worth using is going from cond build to crit so the thing at least hits harder.

Any more nerfing and I’ll just play some other game. I made a thief because I like the play style. If the style changes then I probably won’t like it any more. Which class gets dual nerf bats for weapons? At least then I’d know it won’t get nerfed any more.

I, for one, love the drama between GODS and BLNT! Seriously. It’s very entertaining to me to hear the smack talk from both sides.

Seriously; if you can’t have made up enemies in an online war game, what’s the point? Some where in my inventory is a ‘rabbit finisher’ for wvw. I’ve never used it. But what purpose can it serve other than mocking of the other guy?

The game has a pitiful number of emotes. They took out the ability to express oneself to the other side with /me. Can we not talk the smack here? Half the fun of playing Halo with my kids is listening to them taunt me. So make with the taunting already and lets get ready to let loose the dogs of war tonight!

As an FA player and commander I came to a realization tonight. I’m NEVER going to care enough about winning tier 3 to sit with 3 other people in an empty supply camp and watch Dolayks for hours on a Saturday night.

..which is an attitude more and more people on FA are getting, including me, although i’d like to add “that will get overrun by a zerg anyway” to the empty supply camp bit.

I care about winning. I have sat in a supply camp for 2+ hours while my teammates took first a tower and then bay. Any time there was an attack on it, I’d let my teammates know and they’d fall back to counter. Teammates even offered to relieve me, but I have dual monitors and Netflix. Battles are always available. I’d like to win the war instead.

TL:DR If you’re going to transfer, never transfer to the server currently beating your old server in WvW. It’s tacky and classless.

Am I the last one to find out about this?

I just logged in this morning to find derv and a few others transferred to TC.

It was basically a snap decision Wasabi. 16 hours before GODS left Derv sent me an email saying we weren’t transferring. 3 hours after Jedi and his cohort announced they were leaving to go to another server Derv announced in LA that GODS was leaving.

I’m not following GODS to TC. Last night while I sat in LA I found a bunch of others who said they weren’t either. If GODS had transferred to a lower tier server to build it up I would have gone with them. Jumping up to win isn’t my thing.

Derv has ego enough for 3 guilds, but I’ve worked with enough military commanders and CEOs to know that isn’t an uncommon trait. What sucks is that over the last 2-3 weeks Derv had made a bunch of changes to how we organized and fought that were really going to pay off. Instead it all went kerplowie. Now GODS will have much smaller numbers and from the sound of one of the previous posters he may not even have the support of the top players.

It was actually about 400 member guild once all the inactives were removed. And not all of us went to TC. I don’t understand why they just didn’t go to Sea of Sorrows. If you’re going to transfer to win instead of building something up. Why stop at the next rung?

And here it is a couple of hours later and GODS members are attacking FA in WvW. That is disappointing. They could have or should have, waited until tomorrow’s reset.

Leveling via WvW?

in WvW

Posted by: Shinhwa.1604

Shinhwa.1604

Don’t go with a stealthy build to level up with. I tried that with my thief because all the cool kids were doing it. Sure you can run around hiding and getting backstab on a target, but in a group you won’t do enough damage to get credit. Leveling any professional in wvw you need to put out dps, preferably in aoes. Once you get to 80 you can decide if you want to keep that role or switch to support.

On both my thief and mesmer I went with condition builds. But I don’t think it is necessary to do that.

Not sure what the 2v1 complainers expect. #1 server wants to keep #2 down. #3 server wants to claim second spot. Why wouldn’t they gang up on #2 either intentionally or not.? An even if it is International and coordinated how will complaining about it help?

TC and Yaks hit us hard all week long and we did the same. We held 2nd I’m pretty dang happy with that.
