Guild Wars 2

I cant log back in, but my error code is 42:6:3:2158.

Jski.6180:

Well why are level character based why not have it if i level one level 80 every other character i make is level 80 too? Its because its that character who is doing the work not your account. We could comply destroy the idea of your hero being part of this world by letting it be easy and let the level be tied to the account but that will take all the flavor out of the game.

This is faulty logic. You level in pve from 1 to 80. In WVW your boosted to 80 no matter what level you are. Its just like PVP in the mists. Everything PVP related is account bound, and it uses ranks just like they are adding into WVW. By not following the rules already established by PVP and WVW so far, it IS not normal that WVW would move to per character over account wide.

They should do that for PVE too. If I have to play a necro in a dungeon why does my thief get nothing??

Dungeon tokens are account bound, and you can enter with other character when the last boss os dying to get the rewards…

Try again…

Badges are account bound too. Why shouldn’t my thief get exp and karma for pve events that are done on my necro?

Your making an argument based on faulty logic. No other system in the game assigns RANK by character, it is account wide. PVP, Achievements, titles its all account bound. WvW using characters to assign rank is NEW, and no amount of throwing in other scenarios changes the facts in regards to RANK systems.

Honestly if anything Rank related in game should be per character is would be the PVP stuff. Having it account wide and restricting WVW per character makes literally no sense to me.

HelloKitty.4613:

Ash Legion Spy Kit consumed and has no effect when using under water

I noticed the same thing, it has no effect at all, but still consumes the item.

skinnyb.5920:

I spread boons and kill at the same time so that means I and certain classes like guardians would get double the badges. That also seems unfair to classes like Rangers who hardly ever spread boons.

In a situation where badges were rewarded for buff/heals, ranger might top out everyone if they are smart…..dont forget that really nice water field heal they throw down that is considered by many to be the best healing field in game. Regens are everywhere when a smart ranger is around who lays it down every time they can for people to use.

In some other games pvp system, you get badges/currency/reward tokens for enemy deaths that you participated in by either damaging them, or healing/buffing allies who killed them.

A similar system would be fine here if they moved badges over to a system like laurels where you just auto-gain them as you fight. If you heal someone/buff someone engaged in combat, when the enemy dies (and only if they actually die) you get 1 point – the person doing the killing gets 3/4/5 points or whatever (and to be fair, it has to be much less for heal/buff than killing, because you can throw one single heal on someone faster than killing an enemy, so it has to balance out.)

Aside from the crafting (which you can do with the mats from gathering if you get ore or wood) its all stuff you should normally get in wvw. I dont see anything on the list that you cant just get while doing your normal stuff. If you dont dodge when fighting others….then I dont know what to tell you…it should count. Killing NPC’s should count for the vet kills.

Next month will be more wvw stuff too, so wait on that for more gear.

Accessory slot (which all the temples have one of) are the earring slot. I know its kinda weird its not called earring, but it is what it is.

ghtchill.7613:

Ah true. I jumped a bit quick there. I saw the OP’s intent differently. Sorry about that part, but I stick by my opinion that you tend to make generalizations when you speak of Kaineng’s abilities and play style. Very slanted POV but that’s just my own opinion as one who pretty much solely plays WvW on the Kaineng side.

I did temper my original post with the fact that the really good players might be sitting this week out over the steamrolling, and in no way did I presume that my experiences were indicative of the whole server being that way, just what I had seen the last few days.

I know it might not be a glowing review, but its just truly honestly what I experienced….and kinda surprised so many are upset I said it. Others have said the same thing has been happening to them, so its not like I am the only one.

I however again will say, I do NOT think its the norm for everyone on the server, and its obviously not something most of you posters from there do in your time spent in wvw. You have -0- control of what OTHERS are doing when they are there either, so its not a good spot to be in for you, and you do have my sympathy that you got so many transfers who have crass playing etiquette.

Fighting them the last couple days I have noticed one thing. When in huge numbers they are steamrolling everything, but get them in small numbers and you can do whatever you want with them.

I had no problems taking out 3/4 all by my self on my mesmer, and when they finally killed me with 9 people…..they all danced and sat on my head and stuff like they had done something wonderful, (if it takes 9 of you to kill 1, you didn’t do anything great) which is just tacky. They have to be the most “emotive” players I have seen since launch.

Now of course this is just a random sampling, and not saying the WHOLE server is this way, but so far thats all I have seen. I am sure most of the skilled, good players are maybe sitting this week out, simply out of respect for the steamrolling their zergs are doing.

How can anyone take this sour grape seriously?

If I wanted to post sour grapes I would. Giving an honest appraisal of what happened isnt sour. I fully realize I was facing people who might never have wvw’ed before…..I know its not representative of the WHOLE server, and clearly said that. Just because you dont like what was said, does not make it “sour grapes”.

So what does any of what your are saying have to do with what it is like to play on Kaineng as a server? Seriously! The OP is not asking what you think Kaineng is like to play against in WvW, he’s asking what it is like to play on Kaineng. See the difference there. Too subtle?

Put it this way. seeing as you have never played on Kaineng (I would assume), you really have no way of presenting any honest answer to the OP, do you?

Considering what the first post in this thread stated, if you bothered to read it at all, he simply asked :

AimForThatFace.7814:

So at the moment I’m on Desolation and going to join my friends on Kaineng USA server. Are they good? I heard it going up quick in the WvW rankings?

So I was responding to the “Are they good?” question. In no way shape or form did the original post ask for people who played on the server or did it ask “what its like to play on”. If that had been the question, I wouldnt have had an answer, since I only know what I have seen playing against.

How about next time you at least look at something before pointing fingers.

Harrason.1429:

Which server do you come from? I’ll try to see if I can’t get some of our bandwagoners over to your server.

Lol while I understand the need to get rid of things you dont want, I really dont think I want them :P

Harrason.1429:

Kain, don’t advance too quickly, we need you in T3 to bash us so that we can get back down to T4!

Please, please no. I hope to never see Maguuma or Kaineng again in a tier I am in. Stay in T3 and higher

Ninya.3942:

It’s full of WvW guilds…that’s why we transferred there. And I love these folks who claim they take out 4-5 people and then get steamrolled, and everytime they have people dancing on them and stuff. I rarely see that kind of activity from people on Kain, and when we do we tend to tell people to stop it. As for all the rambos in here who claim they are the greatest players ever…keep thinking that

I flat out said I know its just a sampling and not the whole server, but I promise you it happened. I am nowhere near the greatest player ever either. But I have not had so many emoting over my dead body since the game launched as I have the last 2 days, and thats just a fact. I am however not involved enough in proving it that I will fraps it every time and post on youtube, so whatever.

Ninya.3942:

This thread is getting out of hand with the trolls and chest-thumpers, like every other week, claiming they are single-handedly destroying massive groups of our players. Can’t wait for the lock on this thread…

Ummmm I normally see most posts saying your massive groups of players are destroying the single players.

If someone says something about it every week, it might not be trolling….the truth is occasionally said too (even when its unpleasant for anyone to hear).

Seriously….. 30+ camping at CD north camp gate right now? You guys did that for at least 6 hours yesterday. Not enough badges?

On YBBL there is a swarm that comes to north camp and takes it, camps us for a few minutes….then retreats for us to take it back before swooping in to zergball it again.

I guess at least it gives both sides something to do, but it almost feels like how a hamster must see the wheel in the cage….“I guess I can do this cause it beats staring at the wall”.

This whole fiasco of weeks needs to end sooner rather than later, or ANet will have a very very unruly and justifiably upset community on their hands.

LoL it was not only badge farming but it was more like teaching ppl mainly our guid decipline. Follow simple instructions. Its all prep work.

Im sure you guys in CD also enjoyed it too.

I wouldnt call it enjoy lol. I think I would enjoy a fair fight a heck of a lot more. On a scale of hate, this was more like a step above a root canal but far below a 2 week vacation at the in-laws house.

fellyn.5083:

What do you expect them to do about it? Even if they could somehow magically balance the populations of servers they can’t force people to go into wvwvw.

Yeah they are to blame for letting free transfers go on for about four months to long but beyond that..? What do you expect them to do?

There are all sorts of things they COULD do.

Manually reset the matches on affected servers every 24 hours, so at least you had to refight over things….

Give manual buffs to the losing servers to help a bit

At least say “We know this is happening, and we are sorry…we will figure something out to stop it in the future”

All of thats just off top of my head. I expect something. They caused this by letting it get out of hand with free transfers. Fix it.

Pain.3756:

Let’s take a look at this week after ~39 hours.

Tier 1: Fun
– difference between first and second: 7883

Tier 2: Not Fun
– difference between first and second: 59002

Tier 3: Fun
– difference between first and second: 5677

Tier 4 : Not Fun
– difference between first and second: 84994

Tier 5: Not Fun
– difference between first and second: 29782

Tier 6: Fun
– difference between first and second: 5712

Tier 7: Not Fun
– difference between first and second: 18439

Tier 8: Not Fun
– difference between first and second: 23890

Summary:

Fun = 3
Not fun = 5

Let’s congratulate the winners and losers for well fought matches, shuffle the teams and start again!

Anet: What say you?

Scores like that should have huge DANGER DANGER WARNING WARNING red light and a blaring siren going off at ANet. But I seriously doubt they even care honestly. Not one peep out of them, which honestly at this point is near as bad as the steamrolling…..knowing they WONT comment on it.

style.6173:

This is just a short term issue. Things will stabilize soon once all the bandwagon jumpers have to start paying to move.

What DOES need to change is the weekly match-ups. The current system is broke. Until we get a system where the winner moves up a tier and the loser moves down a tier, we will always have issues. Recently, BG beat up on SoR for what… 8 weeks in a row? How is that fun?

You know what? I do like the idea of the winner moving up a tier and loser moving down a tier with the 2nd place staying put….but how would any of us convince ANet to try something different. It would keep matchups from feeling stale once the tiers stabilize and we really are facing the same people week after week again.

I am also of the mindset that this is most assuredly NOT fun. I have no desire to sit thru another week of a blowout score that we have no hope of countering by any means we possess. ANet should figure some solution out for us, even if they just reset matches like this every morning and made everyone fight over it all over again it would be better than looking at max upgraded everything with a zerg behind the wall.

I dont mind losing in a fair fight, I dont mind being beaten soundly if facing a better server either…..but this is just like Chuck Norris beating a deaf blind mute in a wheelchair.

Bunzy.8674:

Im going to crash Yaks Bend, do you welcome me?

Awww I thought you finally got that LONG overdue ban from the game? How are you still slithering around the forums?

ghtchill.7613:

Okay, so why did all these Guilds transfer to Kaineng from high population servers to a lower one, only to rise to a higher population and back up the tiers? Simple answer, as they have explained over and over – Better WvW Community. Let’s leave it at that.

And, I seriously hope YB folks do not simply go back to PVE this week. Last night was fun and fairly evenly matched where I was, at the time I was on. Please keep coming out.

Hopefully it works out for Kaineng then. In my experiences playing MMO’s when you get mass transfers it usually ends badly cause there is no “cohesion” or “server pride” I guess is better way to put it, and the littlest drama happens, it turns into a nightmare.

I can only speak for myself, but I dont play during NA primetime much or very often though, so for me its always off hours. Right now, off hours are just like last week….and its spirit breakingly bad. Combine massive numbers against you with most of the names I normally see online not around so its not organized either.

While the transfers might have been great for some people, try to remember the flip side of the coin…..and realize its very nearly crushed the spirits of some of the people your fighting against. I just hope YB can get back to normal next week, I dont like PVE much and dont do it that often, and I wont pay for a transfer after all of this time being on YB since day 1 of headstart, so I may just move on to greener pastures with another game.

ghtchill.7613:

Yes Tandy, we figured that out. The last few weeks have been that way, but honestly there’s not much we can do about it right now, yet we still get forum flack for it anyway. Most of us took last week and the weeks before off after Friday/Saturday, or leveled alts.

However, please don’t make this thread another QQ fest about transfers. That horse has been beaten into the dirt already!

Yeah, I know it has. However, its still something that negatively impacts a lot of people on the other servers, so while I totally get why its a stale topic….its still a valid one.

Right now on YBBL we finally got cliffside, soon as we took it a treb started in from Astral….we go to see whats going on and find an easy 40+ zerg waiting and its gone in less than 10 minutes. At least we got it for a few minutes though I guess.

Still I dont get why the transfer situation happened in first place. Once paid goes in, everyone is really screwed on these “bandwagon” servers that will rise up to have as big of a queue as they all originally transferred away from. It would have been more logical for everyone to spread out across all the servers instead of concentrating back on just a few servers and just repeat the problem over again, but again thats logical and most times people never do whats logical.

If Kaineng didn’t figure it out at all….if you never let the losing sides take anything…..and you own everything 24/7….its not only boring for them….but its also boring for YOU as well (unless you get off on zerging 20 people with a force of at least 50+ every time they sneeze, but thats a whole separate personalty problem)

I hope this is the last week we have to deal with a transfer situation server since paid are going in. Most miserable time playing I have had in any MMO I have played in last 15 years, and thats saying something.

I Just dont get the mindset of “lets transfer off a server with high queues in tier 1/2 to a lower tier server, zerg rush everything (and pick up MORE transfers to bloat our new wvw server) in our way back to being a tier 1/2 server, and get more queues!!” Just seems kind of, not well thought out I guess.

I seriously doubt posting on this forum is the appropriate place to express this. However, with that said….

Even if 1000 people reported someone for botting, unless there was at least a SMALL warning bell someone at ANet saw or the system detected, I doubt a ban would go out….even an automatic one.

Not saying for 100% sure anyone did anything wrong, but flip side if there was 100% for sure no one did anything that seemed off, there would be no ban regardless of reporting.

No game company wants to ban people unjustly, and no one out there uses a system that just gives auto bans based on reports. If they did, it would be a disaster for them. Is there bugs in any system? Of course. Do people get hit with a ban when they shouldnt? Of course. But saying just because people are “abuse reporting” someone that they can get banned is stretching it a little bit.

If we get another week like this one, I foresee many people not even bothering anymore.

Honestly, with the imbalances going on they should swap over to one day matches for a while, because NO ONE can enjoy being steamrolled or doing steamrolling others unless you have a serious personality disorder.

To openly mock/relish in or otherwise just get joy from the fact you can hold EVERYTHING in all maps because your zergtastic is just kinda screwed up. Its as bad as those thieves that live to kill uplevels and pretend they are skilled.

I guess I just dont see who can have fun this week honestly. Having no hope of even having fair fights is stupid and just not worth the time of playing. If you constantly lose, it makes it to where no one on your server bothers that week at all. Heck, if this keeps up I will have to pretend GW2 doesnt exist.

On the flip side, I hate being in the position of having total domination….anyone who enjoys it really needs to take a good long look at WHY they dont enjoy a fair fight.

Hopefully free transfers being over will help. I have been on YB since day 1, and I knew when they announced free was almost over it would hit the fan with population shifts and “fair weather” people moving all over the place…..what happened to picking a server and staying put?

YB have put up some really good fights – the best case scenario right now for me is for mag to hit t3, lose and shed a bunch of the population we’ve gained who only joined us to be on the winning team then drop back down to t4 to rematch with yaks on a more even playing field.

Before we were relegated to t5 by dragonbrand and then started snowballing, we had some really good matches against yaks in t4. Probably the best server we played against.

Not sure if this is actually something that’ll happen once paid transfers come into effect but I guess time will tell. This is the last free transfer match!

Yeah I remember having great times fighting Mag last time, this time its just stupid crazy. I dont know what will happen once paid goes in, cause I doubt many of the people who swapped to Mag will swap off before then, with 7 day wait and all that.

I just wish it were more “fair” this week, and we all had a good time fighting it out, but hopefully next time

im not asking for advice, im asking for an update on something that was promised. thanks.

While I totally understand where you are coming from, any update from ANet dealing with pets will likely come in the form of using the right pets for the right job, emphasizing the flexibility of having a ton of pets to pick from with different styles (melee/ranged). In no way did I ever interpret anything said about pets needing help to mean melee pets will ignore AOE’s or take such small dmg from them that they can do things a player cant do (ignore AOE’s and stay up).

Basically, as a ranger, you need to pick the right pets for the right encounters, and no update will make a melee pets ignore AOE’s when a ranged option is there to use. I think an update will come in making them have more responsive time to your commands, and to share your agony resist and things of that nature.

121224-001289

This is my 2nd post in this thread, and I would appreciate someone actually responding to my ticket who can either give me a straight answer or tell me to shove off honestly.

When I log into my account, I have NOTHING under Authorized Networks. It is blank. I have included 4 screenshots on different days showing this. I have been told what to do if I see a strange IP there over and over, but no one seems to actually get the fact I can not see a strange IP there if I cant even see my own authorized home network.

I know someone there has to have the reading comprehension to understand my problem and not tell me yet again to call my ISP if I see a new one to check my IP range, or to change my password if I see a new one, or to wait a while for it to show up.

Blank literally means BLANK, as in nothing there. I have attached a screenshot here, in the hopes someone will maybe actually look at it and respond.

I lost all my gold getting hacked once, if I dont feel secure enough to know I can see who is accessing my account I doubt I will ever buy gems/seriously play much again. And honestly, other people should be worried if there is this kind of hole in authorizing networks.

The starter elementalist head gear, Glacial Eye, that you get for picking water in character creation does not show up if transmuted onto higher tier gear.

I put it on a level 80 head piece, and it shows up on character select, but not in game at all.

I have an issue with my authorized network list on the account page being empty. I discovered this and was dealing with it during dealing with being hacked also. After a couple screenshots included I think its finally clear what I mean.

I am aware when I got my account email changed, it reset my authorized networks, but once I activated the google authenticator and got the prompt to use the code and “remember” the network….the area on my account is still blank. I would appreciate it getting fixed just so I have a way to see what is authorized like everyone else can.

121224-001289 filed on 12/24/2012 is the ticket that is still active, the others were closed due to being duplicates, which I was trying to separate my issues for ease of getting them fixed. If any questions please let me know, I hope I have been clear as to what is wrong.

Well after yet another password reset from support, my account now asked me for google authenticator code. I got all excited thinking MAYBE the authorized networks had been fixed, but after giving the code and telling it to “Remember this Network” the list is still blank.

I updated my ticket again with a screenshot of what I meant, asking them NOT to reset the password yet again, since I can access it just fine.

I just would like an answer from someone as to why its blank and not showing any authorized networks or for someone to actually FIX it so it shows up.

Maybe you don’t have email authentication enabled.

I wasnt aware of any actual option to turn that off? I was under the assumption it was email authentication or the google authentication but you had to have one or the other.

Regardless I have the google one turned on now, but it wont ask me for a code since I am on an “Authorized Network” at home here, so I dont know who else is authorized because I cant see the list.

Yes it does seem to be the case that it is one or the other. There are outstanding issues with the Google one.

But given what I read in another thread, you said that your account was hacked recently? Perhaps support’s (possible) purging of hacker’s authorized networks on your account caused a display glitch (if they did do that)? After all, they have only recently started working on deauthorizing networks for people. So there are bound to be some kinks in the system until they get it finalized.

Being that you can’t see your authorized network list on your end, contacting support may be the only way to go to get that list+notifying them of the glitch/issue.

Yes I was hacked yesterday. As soon as I couldnt log in I reset the password and immediately logged in to check the IP’s and it was blank, before I ever did a support ticket. I hope they can fix it.

The email authorization I just dont know what to say. I have my mail (ISP provided address, not hotmail or gmail or anything) set to go to my iPad and my phone when I get a new one, and I have tested it by sending a test email from the PC then logging directly into my ISP to delete it and I still get it on them as soon as it arrives, before I can delete. So I just dont buy the fact a hacker was able to delete the authorization email without me being aware of it, but I cant prove they didnt either. So I have to hope the Google one, even with its issues, will be better.

I had a topic about this that was closed with an answer to the authentication email.

I want to know about the Authorized Network list in the MY ACCOUNT section of this website.

My list is empty. Nothing is listed not even my OWN home IP.

The fact I didnt get the emails to add an IP to the list is beside the point to the fact my list is EMPTY. So please whoever reads this it is NOT about the emails, but the account on the website.

Really would like to know why or even how the Authorized IP section of my Account Management on the website is totally blank after being hacked. I havent seen anyone else post about the problem, so maybe its just me….but it is not something that should be normal, I remember seeing my home IP there before this.

I have no idea if the google authenticator is really doing its job without that information.

Since I posted this I have been in contact with support, but still dont know if the gold will be replaced or not. Also still have no answer about the authorized IP being empty, and why.

If someone can answer that for me, I will just swallow the gold loss. I just want to make sure with the authenticator active now I am secure. Not being able to see what is or is not an authorized IP makes me very nervous. How do I know whoever hacked me cant just swoop in and change my password yet again?

Well my 2nd ticket I filed for just the authorized IP being blank was closed and labeled as a duplicate to my “I was hacked” ticket.

Honestly, to me its two separate problems, but hopefully someone higher up reads this and can see whats going on, since I understand how someone going thru tickets might just combine them into one problem.

I just want to know exactly why my list is totally blank and how that impacts me using the authenticator to protect myself now. If its blank and I dont need to input a code, how do I know ANYONE would be prompted for a code to log into my account? At least seeing something in the list gives me a feeling of security.

I got hacked last night, and after looking over everything I got no emails about changing of my password or log in attempts. I should have gotten it since I have emails going to 3 different devices (I REALLY like to know when I get something :P).

Now I turned on the google authenticator to add more security, but my question is this…..it is NOT asking me for a code when I log on from own pc (I assume because its “trusted” and authorized) but when I log in my account, my authorized network area is TOTALLY blank, as in nothing listed there at ALL. If I cant see anything there, then how is my own network trusted…..and following that how can I determine if someone ELSE is listed or not?

This honestly really really concerns me, as I have never been hacked before and would like to make triple sure I dont ever have to deal with it again in this game, ever.

I want to see what networks have been authorized, since I assume thats something every one else can see just fine. If none are, then how am I logging in without needing the authenticator code? and if I can log in without needing it….who ELSE can log in without needing it.

Well I activated the smartphone app this morning, and it doesnt ask me to use the code when I log in….since apparently you dont have to use it for “authorized IP’s” now….but when I go into my account on the site my authorized IP list is totally empty, so I have no way to know if someone OTHER than me is authorized or not. The fact I cant see anything there scares me honestly.

I wish they had an option to make it ask every time, or something since they changed it to not need a code when it thinks its “safe” to not need it.

I have played MMO’s for years and years, since EQ1 kunark days. Even years of WoW and never once have I been hacked till last night on this game. I have always followed standard security stuff for gaming too. Just totally shocking cause I would have bet good money I wouldnt be hacked because I never ever do the things that GET you hacked in the first place like buy gold, use stupid password, get spyware, log in odd sites etc. I always run antivirus/malware/spyware stuff and do maintenance on everything like clockwork. I just honestly dont know how it happened in the first place, and am very curious about it.

I got hacked last night/this morning and once I reset my password and got to poking around I noticed my authorized IP list is totally empty? Not even my own is listed, but it still wont prompt me for the goggle authenticator I added today after the hacking.

That is very disturbing, have you filed a ticket yet?

Yes I filed 2nd ticket for this specifically after my ticked for being hacked.

I got hacked last night/this morning and once I reset my password and got to poking around I noticed my authorized IP list is totally empty? Not even my own is listed, but it still wont prompt me for the goggle authenticator I added today after the hacking.

So sometime after 7 pm eastern last night and 10 am eastern this morning my account got hacked. My password was changed and I couldnt log in, I did the reset and got everything set to log in myself and found just my gold gone, no items/bank stuff missing or gear, so wasnt as bad as it could have been.

Now the weird thing is I thought you had to have email authorization to log in from different IP or to at least change password? I triple checked and I never got a single email from anything. I dont think my email got hacked, so how did they manage to get into my account without generating an emails?

Other question I suppose, should I not play until they fix my money or what?? I have been playing MMO’s since EQ1 kunark days and honestly this is the first time I have ever had a compromised account. I dont go to odd sites or install stuff, always scan for malware/spyware and keep up to date on anti virus/phising stuff.

Anyway just curious about this, honestly cant still believe it happened to me.

I’m not looking for duels; I’m looking for someone who can put up a fight. I’ve been running around a week and a half in this matchup, and I’ve seen a ton of Maguuma out solo/small group, and I’ve seen a ton of EB doing the same, but Yak’s? One person. You can try to say that doesn’t mean everyone on YB is a bad zerger, but at the very least it means the proportion of good players from YB is so low that actually finding one is like looking for a needle in a very green, very large haystack.

But hey, on the bright side, I did run into an elementalist from YB that was pretty damned tough. I almost had to use my elite, and that doesn’t happen often 1v1.

While I understand where your coming from, most of Yak’s tend to actually play for objectives and at least “try” to be organized. That means following the commanders, getting supplies/repairing and building siege and taking objectives. We tend to be that way because of how we were outnumbered so much we had to work together with fewer numbers to take on much bigger groups.

So you see, its doesn’t mean we are a “bad zerg server” it means we actually are organize, efficient and most of us try to follow the strategy our commanders are giving us, not out solo roaming.

Now granted, I do enjoy going with a few others and flipping supply camps and roaming sometimes, but I also try to help the bigger picture and work the entire map for the servers benefit.

I hope Bunzy keeps talking kitten. Maybe eventually people will get sick of it and actually put together a competitive group that can put up a challenging fight. Or at least try to get better soloing.

That’s why I have so much trouble playing this game. There’s just no challenge in the pvp. The good players are so few and far between that I’m lucky if I get a single good fight in a session. Playing ’let’s see how many zerglings I can kill at once’ gets stale pretty fast at this point.

If you want intense good group of players who put up a competitive fight you need to go into the actual pvp. WvW is control of maps, keeps, towers and a castle played out on a large scale…..hence the big numbers and lack of good single players all alone waiting on you to fight them

I swear does every single Maguuma person in the game dance/sit on your face/whatever else they can think of every time they kill someone?

I mean come on, its one thing if its an epic battle that lasts 5 minutes, but jumping someone who is semi afk and killing them in 5 seconds “really” worthy of celebration?

Here is a free hint, if someone never hits you back, odds are you didn’t do anything worth celebrating.
