Guild Wars 2

Hi ^^

I advise you to work a little bit more on the reflection and shadows =)
For instance you can try to put a mask on them and use gradient tool to make it becoming a bit translucent. Then you can try to use homothety and perspective tool to flatten shadows and create a light direction ^^
It would be more realistic, I think.
Like this : http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/749683shadowexample.jpg
(I also used the wave tool as if the floor were wet)

Hello everyone !

I just made a project in my studies: it’s a cartographic server presenting Tyria, so I’d like to share the link with you ^^

http://esipe.geonef.fr/tyria/index-en.html

The spirit of this project is to suggest some maps that can be used by both classical gamers (PvE / PvE) and RP gamers who would like to get a map with some information about the peoples and land use of Tyria.

The mark I will get for this project isn’t based on the data’s exhaustiveness that much and more on the technical skills implemented. That’s why I worked only on two areas (Metrica Province and Caledon Forest) and one city (Rata Sum) and why some layers aren’t complete. These layers are only there as an example of what I can do and as I will have to give the project in few days I don’t have enough time to improve it and put more datas for the moment.

But maybe I will continue to work on it after I get a mark, maybe this summer and I make it better afterwards ^^

Please help yourself and try the different layers a bit :p
If you have a short piece of time, your feedback would be very appreciated =)

P.S.: The website doesn’t work very well on touchpad and smartphone (because of their tiny screen I think).
(P.S.2: Hello Jayne.9251 ! ^o^ )

All is Jayne o_O

I appreciate [DERP] Dull Egotistical Raiding Party.

On Jade Sea one guild decided to get an other awesome name :
[LDS] Le Dolyak Soyeux, which mean The Silky Dolyak.

Yesterday evening we (Jade Sea) got great time at Garrison, in ER map, between 10:15 and 11:10 ! Even if we didn’t cap it at the end, the fight was so long and so intense, I enjoyed it a lot, thx !

Kodash and ER also frightened us twice in Bay, but we kept or stronghold ^^

Lol, BSF have amazing ideas

CRrabbit.1284:

How can you kite a zerg……
This is not 1v1, this is about zerg vs zerg.

Wididyth.3847:

How about kiting ? The buff only lasts 3 seconds.

I’m not saying it’s easy, but you can kite a zerg, it works approximately as a single character. You can avoid it as well, just as you try to dodge a zerg which is attacking you while you are in a bad position.

@style : When I play WvW, what I do is almost always zerg fight :s

Solstice.1097:

I would think a Guardian zerg > warrior zerg. Perma-stability and keep blasting retalition the warriors will kill themselves or be forced to run away.

What if a warrior activates his new heal skill and attacks someone under retaliation ? Does it heal himself ? <3

How about kiting ? The buff only lasts 3 seconds.

Victory.2879:

Now if you have more than one set of armor for each toon, and want infusions, you’ll be waiting MONTHS to be able to complete one set.

Don’t worry dude, everything comes to those who wait :s

Hello dear all,

Sorry for not joining the fight, can’t WvW this week, busy farming / crafting / throwing snowballs and having some rest :s
See you on friday ^^

Jade Sea.

XacTactX it’s the same situation for EU leagues, and I think you are right :s
I feel a bit sad about the lack of suspense for these servers in the competition.

Dmitry.9845:

why ? if you server strong you win , if weak you lose, no kittenty randome, politics, doubleteaming and other ? its pure sport.
And no one hide behinde strong server. All resolve in pure one match.
Only bandwagoners and gloryhunters want 1 vs 1 vs 1 because they can trade you kitten for better situations. 1 vs 1 denied this. only pure fight and only real stats

1v1 is like only two factions, it’s the same system as in WoW, AION or RIFT, it does not provide good open field wild pvp, in my opinion.
1v1v1 is full of surprises, I find it way more interesting. You don’t just have to be strong, you also need to be smart to win.

Normally you can’t have a static alliance in 1v1v1 as you could find in 2v2 or 1v1v1v1. This is the advantage of a match between 3 challengers.

Real war is by far more complicated, you never have only 2 or 3 sides ‘^^
It’s much more than 10 – 15 sides, in modern wars… Not all of these sides fight on the ground, but there are many different interests, allies, enemies.

Goids.5096:

THIS IS MADNESS.

Madness ? .. This.. is… GOLD LEAGUE OO:

1v1 ? Is that serious ? How about no ?
It will be less balanced than now.

I don’t, and I would like to know as well :s
I couldn’t play during almost all this season and this week-end I will have lots of achievements to run after…

Edit : Awwww, 5 december, will be too short for me

The truth behind Vizunah’s domination and Jade Sea’s last victory …

@Leyo It smells like troll spirit (o:

Leyo.1935:

JS always has difficult starts. We’re really bad during week-ends

We used to be good at the week-end, but as far as I remember, before the league system starts and during the beginning of summer for instance, we had some very efficient starts.

Err well, maybe… I don’t know this San Gohan-like face :s

Troma.3250:

Sometimes we have too much"pride" (Orgueil in french) and we do our best when the situation is desperate.

It reminds me of the Frenzy buff or Zealot buff for orc fighters in Lineage II (o:

Your thread is fun ^^

I just want to share with you some funny memes that all your comments inspire me (-:
I don’t blame anyone as I don’t take any part of this match, so don’t take it for yourself, everyone could use it to poke fun at his opponent =)

Dayra.7405:

PS: Did it ever happen before that a match-thread was opened by someone not in the match?

An interesting question, I also thought of it on friday evening when he created this thread. It firstly sounded a bit weird but then, it doesn’t seem to be so important.

Falkynn.3789:

There isnt american guild on JS.

However, I spent efforts and threads on june in the recruitment section to suggest them to come on JS because our server is huge and they could get a marvelous place, but they never did
I feel so sad …

(don’t try to double focus Falkynn on the forum, he will outnumber you all o.o )

Jayne.9251:

Enough shots and everyone will be too drunk to care about flaming.

Hey, beware of alcohol + fire, it can be very dangerous :s

cazza.6078:

There are people from India, Korea, New Zealand, United Arab Emirates, Algeria, USA, Jordania, Canada and many more countries and there are much more international servers than French ones.

Sorry about that, but I couldn’t resist to share this picture x:

Hey you, don’t make fun of cheese, it’s sacred o.o

Server : Jade Sea
League : Gold
Enjoyed Season 1 : No, I wasn’t able to play due to a lack of time
Should we have season 2 ? Yes please, I want to compete as well. I’m going to have 3 months to do so.

You’re all so talkative on this thread :s

How can I vote ? I don’t even know all the commanders of my own server :s
So how could I know the ones I never play with, on the other servers ?

What criterias should we use to decide what is a good commander ?
Who you love the most ?
Funniest voice / accent ?
Best at shouting loudly and constantly on TeamSpeak ?
Best win rate of XvX ?
Best win rate when outnumbered ?
The one who cares the most about keeping our positions ?
Best at caping sneakily a position ?
The one who knocks ?
Plays almost always ?
Never makes dramas ?
Makes tons of dramas ?
Has the best strategies ?
What criterias to determine what is a good strategy ?
The one who has the greatest number of followers on Twitter ?

So many questions which remain unanwsered. This thread seems to be such a nonsense x_x

Wow the three first servers of gold league in a row, it’s gonna be an exciting match ! GL & HF everyone x:
I won’t be playing on any of these three servers as I am a JS player, but I’ll keep an interested eyes on the score board all the week (-:

Jayne, are you still on Piken Square ?! Good luck ! : D

Hello everyone ^^
Haha this topic seems to be so fun, I am a bit sad that I couldn’t read it during the week due to exam x:
Then now it is almost the end of the thread…

Hi Jayne, hi Falkynn ^^
I wish to thank all the JS players who sold me pieces of dream ^^ I was so worried not to be able to help them, but I am proud of what they did =)

Congratulation to you ER players, you are such a great opponent. Revenge time is coming !

When I said “fight each other”, I thought of our server :s
Duels are not my cup of tea, I prefer teamplay and huge battles x:

Hey Jayne.9251, it seems that we are going to fight each other this week (o:
Except that I will not be able to play a lot, due to the beginning of engineer school year x_x

Gl & Hf Elona Reach and Piken !

Thank you to some ArenaNet Guild members (Yggdrasil, Miso and their mates) for visiting us (Jade Sea) yesterday evening on Elona Reach borderland ! =)

I play Jean Bonau, a guild mate of Maitre Dayo, someone who played a bit with you (the Asurian trumpeter). We had a lot of fun when we realized that you were playing among us. I remember that my guild leader became crazy when he saw you and told us to hurry up toward Shadaran’s north gate.

We hope you enjoyed our little blob, even if I didn’t see you at the main battles ! We fought in Garrison while you were on the map but I don’t remember that you were a part of it. You must have noticed the commander Blaster Loost’s blue diamond on the map, he is one of our best commanders. It’s too bad that you couldn’t join us on TeamSpeak x:

We are looking forward to seeing you again ^^

Jayne.9251:

I was only trying to give you cookies

All your cookies are belong to us (om Nom Nom Nom Nom)

Easy, dude ^^

I used to consider the fact that saying that a server is blobbing is pejorative. The goal of WvW is winning the match-up. As it is said, strength through unity, so when it is possible, every server make blobs because it seems to be the easiest way to win. AR, VS, JS, Piken, we all do this.

Last week we saw blobs from AR, this is the only one thing I am pointing on my post above x:
Not very often, I acknowledge this, but sometimes we saw it.

Nope, I am still on Jade Sea and I will probably stay here until my guild decide to move, what is not foreseen x:
Then lessons will be back next week, I won’t have any choice but stop playing for something like three months :s
(the duration of my sandwich course, engineer school is like this..).
We met AR last week so I am just telling my experience ^^

My vacation was a bit tiring, but nice and interesting.
I spent a month in Taiwan and China to -learn how to farm in video games- discover these countries and meet some friends =)
(why textile strike-through tag doesn’t work ? >:/ )

Hi Jayne, what’s up ? ^^

milton.1796:

So one blob only server, anyone got intel on AR? Another blob server or?

AR is another blob server, beware of it, but it is not so dangerous. Let’s keep in mind that every server goes blob when it can. Have a great time (-;

Dayra.7405:

I hope you do not feel to ignored at Jade.

Hi ^^
We try to, but it’s not very easy. Our french forum is not very talkative about match-up in general, so the ones of us who like to exchange about it don’t have a lot of opportunities to do so. This week will be even more quiet on both french and english forum as you two ER and RS are German and you mostly write on your forum ^^
I tried to read it but I have never been good at speaking German :$

Anyway, we’ll be quiet as well. We (at least I) enjoy this match-up as we encounter strong opponents. It is a huge change compared to last week (we encountered Augury and Abadon’s mouth; don’t get me wrong, I don’t say that these two servers aren’t strong, but they’re less strong than you) and we need it to “wake up”. Holidays is over, everyone is back behind his computer and we must remain competitive if we want to play on the first league during October.

Yesterday evening we had a great time while we ([DEX] guild, [BSF] guild and other people following us) tried (and finally succeeded !) to cap Garrison or Bay on ER map =)

We are still dangerous during our prime time :-D

GL & HF for the rest of the week.
(Ps: If some of you could translate in english for me some of your German posts, the most interesting, those who speak of what you think of us and our playstyle, I would be glad to read it x: )

Oh I see.
It appeared that our representative mistaked you for the [WaR] representative as you and them spoke to him at the same time. Forgive him :p

Actually our representative told us a bit late that we had a GvG to play this evening, we weren’t aware of that. Moreover some of us didn’t agree to play it while our roster is not truly already ready. We hesitated between doing what we decided (don’t play GvG before being ready) and taking the opportunity to play the GvG because we hadn’t play it much during summer.

When we arrived on Gandara’s BL, some of us encountered queue and couldn’t join the map. We were not even 20 for the GvG, and as the end of evening came some players wanted to disconnect. That’s why we decided to leave after two fights.

Nevermind, sometimes kitten happens. It will be for another time ! I don’t know yet if we’ll be there today (the tomorrow of yesterday) to GvG.

What happened between [Yak] from Gandara and [WaR] from Baruch this evening ? We ([DEX] from Jade Sea) were supposed to GvG with [WaR] first and we didn’t understand why you [Yak] attacked them :s
It is not totally true, we think that you attacked them because you wanted to GvG against us before them, but it wasn’t very nice :s

I am sorry guys, I didn’t want to create a topic for complaining about Vabbi’s opponents. You have enough for this with the weekly topics in the match-ups part of the forum. What interests me is only some witnesses of the playstyle and experience on Vabbi. I found some in your replies, thank you O:

Let’s consider the advantages ! Thanks to this new colour, now I can sunbathe while I play.

Hi guys !

I firstly posted this topic on the french forum but it appears that no french player can answer me, so here I am and I rely on you.

Few days ago I and some guildmates exchanged some jokes on our TS server and after one of them (someone said that every servers make a blob when it can, and I added “excepted maybe Vabbi”), I have come to wonder : What looks like WvW on Vabbi ?

This is why I call upon you if you play WvW on this server : Tell us (or at least tell me) how you do this.

How many players are you on the same map at the same time ?
What look like your battles and your catches ? Your buses ?
How do you proceed to organize yourself together ? What are your favourite strategies ?
What is your feeling when you face a tower with some weapons inside to protect it ?
Do you have special builds to cap a target with few players ?

Tell us all these things ! I don’t want to know if you think that your opponents are imba or bad guys or not, but I am curious to know the state of mind of an average day in WvW on your server.

So, soldier of Vabbi, tell me your life ! (please)

Haha, Thank you Jayne (-:
As it is said, “I’m going on an adventure !" See you around August 20th~

May the HODOR! be with you.

Hi guys ^^
Nice to meet you, Piken and Baruch, again (-;
Let’s have a good week ! Unfortunately, I won’t play it due to holidays trip, but I hope my Jade Sea mates will give you some hard time on the battlegrounds x:

Hi ^^

Please have a look at this post I made to decribe Jade Sea.
You will find some information about how Jade Sea playstyle looks like in WvW and you could also find some reasons why you could be happy to join our server ^^

Thank you for reading (-;

watch out or bleed.3068:

What we are looking for:

-A Tier which offers a fairly balanced weekly score. So it is not a train wreck each week for the same server.

We are hardly the winner of the match up, but we try not to be the last one. Our match up are often very tight and I personnaly find them very interesting.

watch out or bleed.3068:

-A Tier which does not field Full Que Zergs on Multiple Borderlands through out the week.

It depends on what you call a “Zerg”. We have buses like every T1/2 servers, it is unavoidable if we want a little chance to win. But we hardly have a bigger bus than 60 / 70 players. Most of the time our buses are like 30 / 40 people. And when we have a “zerg”, we have it on only one map.

watch out or bleed.3068:

If you have any Questions or wish to get a hold of me here would be the best place to post.

Is the language barrier a problem for you ? x:

Dominik.5162:

You JS guys really like the suppliecamp at your spawn, don’t you?

That’s true, we usually keep an eye on it (-;

I definitely love this match up.

There is something different when we fight against you, Baruch and Kodash guys, from fighting SFR, Elona or Vizunah.
I cannot say exactly why it is different, but it’s really nice. Right now the difference between the first and the last server is below 3500 points. I am sure this play a part in our determination and it make the battles so fierce :p

Baruch Bay, we love your Garrison O:

Hi everyone !

I just want to let you know that I am eager to take part of the battles we will make ! I hope the match-up will be hard for everyone and the score will remain tight.
Gl & Hf, Kodash and Baruch Bay !

Last night we had a huuuuge confrontation on the Baruch map, where we (JS) tried for one hour to catch the garrison, and finally did it ! (“we did it !”, in this kind of case I am proud of my nickname which you can prononciate this way :p )

Thanks to our opponents, I don’t remember if it was only Baruch who tried to prevent us from taking the stronghold or if Kodash tried to catch it as well. It was such a mess, I couldn’t pay attention to who I struck :o)

An amazing moment !
