Guild Wars 2

Personally i see it as a “must do” especially on a 1vs1 situation.

a) I get to see what other engis are running on their utilities…and how they try to create a synergy with them. There is always something new to learn…even if it isn’t about to go on the “do’s” but on the “don’t’s” list.

b) I get to establish some idea of where i stand skills and build wise inside the engi profession.

c) I get to experience being on the defensive side of engi skills…Any defence tactics that i come up with, i can then keep in mind as options available to my opponents. That being said…i haven’t run into a mirror image of me -yet-.

Hamham.7504:

I have, on tape, two RoS admitting to animal cruelty and using pandas to make products. I felt any RoS reading this should know that people like this are among them!

Good fights and a good chat, thanks! <3

Let the record show that I do not own any Panda sweatshops/ Skritt meth labs as these malicious rumours imply. Further more at the time that this recording was taken i have multiple witnesses that can verify me being at the Tamini Anual Polo Association (T.A.P.As) in order to organise this years RoS Polo Cup Final between the back to back champions “Glue Sticks” and the newly blossomed powerhouse called “Tesco Burgers” that is sure to give them a run for their money (2/1 favourites, odds subject to change, contact ur nearest panda to place a bet).

As a Norn i have no interest in legal procedures that are drawn out…my army of asura lawyers on the other hand sharpen their teeth on the bones of those that care to disrupt my enterprises. Prepared to be counter sued to the ground.

PS. GG indeed hope to see u again ingame

PS.2 this message should self destruct in 5 seconds….in case of malfunction, please proceed smashing your screen with a blunt object. Thank you

The matchup would have been a lot more fun if both BT and FoW didnt use huge blobs even for the slightest objective…Both of you seem to venture forth only when the odds are atleast 3:1 for you…even when in your own BLs…which is disappointing to a roamer/small scale player like me.

I’m not suggesting you should try to 5man SM…but 5 men flipping a sentry and a camp in your own BL should not require calling in half your WvW population in order to take it back. Its no fun for 30 ppl to try and tag 2-5 enemies and its no fun for 2-5 ppl to fight against 30 enemies. Both sides could be having more fun if zergs were used where zergs are actually needed.

The same 30 people can provide a greater service to their server if they split up in parties of 5 and hit multiple targets…like flipping all camps within 5 mins instead of being a huge blob and taking 20 mins to go around the whole map.

You don’t need to raise orange swords for 3 ppl….And you certainly don’t need to “accept” duels and then call in everyone to come and zerg the opposing side! [some FoW @ FoW BL a few hours ago – how cheap/sad is that? ]

Be more efficient (less zergy) and you will have more fun (and more scouts)…sure u will die a lot more in the beggining…but that will force you to fine tune your build and playing skills. Not to mention the fact that small scale will teach you why “u don’t need to be told to resupply…you just go and do it when the first opportunity arises.”, “weapons don’t deal damage to walls”, “you are better off guarding a ram than attacking the gate with your weapon”, “taking down cannons and oil takes priority over placing a ram” and other simple tactical details.

Ps. I’m not saying there are no roamers/ppl with class/skilled players out there from both BT / FoW just painting an overall picture from my experience so far. I’m sure there are plenty…but the bigger picture is more or less as i paint it.

ukuni.8745:

Maybe they are waiting on ascended armour to bump it up to its best potential seeing as there isn’t really any concrete evidence to say that bundles were dropped back to the original state, a friend of mine did say that power was the main factor for damage output rather then weapon damage it’s self so it’s safe to assume that the damage was only dropped 2.5% and will be upgraded to it’s full potential when we have the other half our armour worth of ascended gear

Or maybe…they are doing nothing about kit damage balancing…just like they have done nothing about so many bugs/inconsistencies of the engineer class that have been present since launch. Maybe they just swept it under the rug and will deal with it when the rug has a bump the size of Mt Everest.

Maybe …kits should scale with your weapon…and not some imaginary value…from day 1.

Maybe …our class isn’t balanced and never will be because they are tending to 3-4 builds that revolve around 2-3 skill groups instead of looking at ALL the other skills that are bugged/useless and the class as a whole.

Maybe …balance cannot be achieved by nerfing a class across the board due to one of its builds being OP.

Maybe…at this pace the engineer will be “as intended/advertised on launch” in the year 2525 (if man is still alive…)

My point is…there is no indication from Anets stance so far that even remotely entertains the idea that Anet has ever bothered with the Engineer more than it has been forced to. There is a clear track record (the game has been out for over a year now) and Anet has never come out to say “from now on we will pay the engineer a bit more attention than we did” … Optimism at this point in time is something we should refrain from wholeheartedly .

Cant wait for all that bottled up SAB rage to hit PvP/WvW …

This should be stickied and merged with the other bug threads.

I expect this thread to get lost like the bug compilation thread that once was present in this forum..its too accurate and leaves no room for excuses to be made.

Here’s to hoping it gets any kind of notice from the powers above.

DevonCarver.5370:

Hopefully, we’ll have something to say very soon that will help this. Although I suppose help is always in the eye of the beholder. Stay tuned.

Hopefully you are just trying to be polite…

Not only does the cost to move to lower population servers need to stay the same (if not become higher since guilds farming PVE for a week can provide 50g per person easy) but these costs should increase drastically every time an account changes servers. . A time-gate (eg. 1 server transfer/ 6 months maximum) wouldn’t hurt either.

Large guilds moving around at the drop of a hat only serves those moving them and not the servers (temporary wvw rating boosts = a long period of getting zerged when settling back to your original/new position) or the game (matchmaking gets screwed).

Alliances which want to server hop have as much right to have fun as the next guy and i don’t see how one could think that server hoping and destroying WvW for months should take precedence over things like retaining balance.

Their incentives in moving to a low population server are less queues, less lag , bigger social role (for those who are into server politics/diplomacy), more space to operate in WvW maps etc.

The last thing WvW needs is an easier way for Guilds with 0 server loyalty to be able to come in & have their fun trashing lower tier servers then jump ships due to the opposition becoming “on par” with them.

PS. I’ve been on RoS a long time now and i have witnessed my server get royally screwed up twice because some WvW guild alliance decided to make it their home “for ever” …and then abandoned their “crusade” half way through. I believe i have more than enough experience on the aftermath to be as absolute as i am.

What you are suggesting Korgov is a huge amount of data being able to change in a tremendously volatile fashion… Imo it is a good idea but it can only be done on paper.

There is no solution to the bad matchups apart from redesigning how they are being decided. If not a radical redesign (which will never happen) then some heavy tweaks which take into account a shorter period of time when calculating the servers score while still keeping some sort of notion of who is actually overachieving .

In order to do that, you will also need to take into account in a servers rating stuff like:

Average WvW attendance per server in terms of hours per player.

Average WvW attendance per server in terms of population numbers.

Total population per server (needs to be taken into account or else low wvw partitipation/high populace servers will be able to call on thier PvE ppl and ruin any matchup at any time).

Pretty complex stuff when you have to express all of it (and what was previously taken into account) as a single function that quantifies server power both in relative short-term and long-term.

PS. Personally i wouldn’t hold my breath for any kind of important changes to the matchup engine.

Adamantium.3682:

The SD bolt from non-targeted abilities goes straight where the camera is pointing. This is why it usually goes into the ground, but you can use knowledge this to aim the camera at any enemy you’re fighting, or just stand right on top of them when possible.

Finding a workaround doesn’t make it any less of a bug . SD builds have virtually 0 options when it comes to utility skills due to that bug alone. Its been there since launch and there needs to be a point where people quit making excuses for Anet and demand what they most definitely have paid for, launch features working as advertised.

Where is the synergy between the SD trait and every other toolbelt skill besides direct target ones ? Where is the versatility when plenty (if not most) of those dt skills seem to be attached to ridiculously underpowered utility skills?

When you see an Engineer that just launched a Static Discharge at you (and assuming he didn’t choose to pick his traits/skills through the process of banging his keyboard against various angled objects)…do you or don’t you know at least 50% of his traits & skills?

If your answers to those 3 questions are “Nowhere to be found, Nowhere to be found & I Do”, please stop dismissing valid posts and requests, because frankly that’s all your post seems to aim for…

VictorTroska.3725:

I am trying Engineer myself now aswell, its almost 50. I am curious though if any old timer engineer could ansver. If I go 30 Inventions, 30 Alchemy (but not potion traits just protection ect) and 10 random. Will I be able to dish good damage with rifle if my armor set and jewelry is Knight or Berserker, (power build). Skills I am running is Rifle + Medkit + Toolkit + Bomb Kit + random or Flamethrower kit + Supply Drop.

Your best bet would be to go on SPvP and test the combos you are thinking about. Every person has a different play style when it comes to the Engi, what works for others might not work for you and vice versa.

Forestnator.6298:

daweed.6520:

To oversimplify things. Having the option to run as a 30% Ele, 30% Guard, 30% Ranger hybrid doesn’t justify the last 10% being taken out from every Engineer in the game.

Maybe it’s just me, but I am 150% Ele, 60% Guard and 150% Ranger at the same time.

Granted that a decent Engi build can squash nublets left and right (thats what we are best for imo, punishing people who think all Engis are punching bags and thus overcommit ).

But you cant say that the medium of the Engineer class comes even close to those of most other classes. Even if it were to be claimed kitten…it would be backed up with some extensively specific theory- crafting on the Engi side versus generic builds, without taking into consideration the degree of difficulty involved in said builds.

Its like looking at two piano players…one has to play “Mary had a little lamb” to get a perfect score from the judges…the other one has to play “Bachs Toccata and Fugue in D minor” …both need to play a 1 minute part of each arrangement , but the amount of difficulty involved in minute is not the same in both cases.

What is fair in relation to the degree of difficulty…is that the person who opted to play “Toccata” being able to score more (if he gets it right) than the one that opted for “Mary” on that competition.

In “GW2: Music for the Zergs” “Toccata” scores a 9/10 with the reasoning that it used more piano keys than “Mary” (who scored a 10/10) and that the performer has also taken drums lessons.

Would a drum + piano piece grant the “Toccata” performer a 10? No, because according to the “GW2: MftZ” competition rules more than one instrument used means a -1 point in your final score.

To oversimplify once more…. the Engineer class is basically being forced to be versatile or suck…and then forced to suck for being versatile, when it should be one or the other.

You people have no idea what kind of imbalance you are asking to be brought into the game…just because you are lazy.

Quit looking at your short term personal gain and look at the bigger picture.

Earning rewards for all toons while playing just one heavily favours people with multiple 80s (myself being one) and broadens the gap between players.

Let’s look into a scenario that highlights its fundamental flaw:

Bob only has a warrior at rank 999 with the current system. He was never great at playing his toon but the zergs were fun to follow and wxp ranks kept coming. Switching to an account wide ranking system would mean that any toon Bob creates is also ranked 999 …

If Jack (a skillfull player with a ranger ranked at 120) kills Bobs ranked 999 warrior in the current system Bob has to figure a way to do it on his warrior…or switch to a class better suited for the job and lose the rank buffs. Same applies for Jack who can also switch to another class with 0 rank buffs. Both players are on equal levels if you exclude their main toons.

On an account wide ranking system Bob wouldn’t waste time and just log on to his “ranger-killer” toon (also ranked 999). Jack on the other hand can only log on to rank 120 toons….thus being at a constant disadvantage vs Bob.

The ranking system should remain toon based…simply because only a selfish few would want that kind of “balance” brought into the game… the same few who would be looking to exploit the fundamental flaw highlighted above.

Blood Red Arachnid.2493:

#1: The class is already the most versatile class without resetting traits. Swapping through utilities and traits is never meant to be a permanent build. Ever. What every engineer does is make themselves a base build, and then only change flip trait abilities and utilities when the situation calls for it.

Being the most versatile of the classes….is like saying the one-eyed leads the blind.

Anyway, it seems futile to argue with each other… we have different kinds of versatility in mind.

You feel it is versatile enough being able to equip multiple kits, i feel that versatility would be possible if we had more liberty in our choice of traits when levelling up compared to other classes (which we don’t).

Its not that i don’t use kits (toolkit is a permanent resident in my bar , others pop up according to need) or that i feel that the Engineer can’t do much (i wouldn’t spent 99.9% of my game time on mine if that was the case). My beef is with the “nerf” an engineer takes compared to other classes in order to use kits. A “penalty” so big that it makes non-kit engineers suffer* to the point where, as i mentioned earlier, you don’t get to see a lot of mediocre engineers.. just really good ones and really bad ones .

To oversimplify things. Having the option to run as a 30% Ele, 30% Guard, 30% Ranger hybrid doesn’t justify the last 10% being taken out from every Engineer in the game.

Out of the top of my head and with the most simplistic way i could think of it being achievable :

Have some of the already available trait choices overlap (eg Metal Plating could show up as a choice on more than one trees when 10 points are spent – it can only be selected once – total number of available choices on each selection after all multiple choices are taken out should be equal to the number of skills available for other classes -1 ) – more traits would be needed to fill in whatever gaps are there- .

Things that makes sense (like Elixirs and the Alchemy tree, Explosives and Grenades/Bombs, Firearms and the Rifle/Pistol relevant traits) stay tied together..things that should be universally available to Engineers like eg. Packaged Stimulants are made available in multiple trees.

That would have been versatile in my book…since it offers more viable combinations of traits and thus more viable builds running around.

*I am aware that exceptions apply….but aren’t they meant to “confirm the rule”?

PS. Although we seem to disagree i still enjoy seeing what others think of our class. So…thanks for the replies

Blood Red Arachnid.2493:

It is impossible for any class to bring everything they can do at the table at once. ..

…Engineer bombs have 84% the power of a thieve’s cluster bomb, but with no initiative limit, so even when an engineer goes for all out power they can still hit hard.

First i’d like to point out that the original poster basically asked “What do Engineers do that other’s don’t?” . On that note i’d like to repeat my closing statement from my previous post in order to set the tone for my following comment .

“I’m not saying there are no viable/strong/dominating builds out there that don’t heavily involve CC, what i’m saying is CC is what we do best (my English failed me here : better) than others.”.

Now about your post on my opinion of the class and its strengths and weaknesses:

-You setting up your traits for a specific scenario…does not constitute that build being a viable build anywhere outside that scenario. Multiple times is still limited times, multiple scenarios are still limited scenarios. In my opinion what should matter to you is how versatile the class can be without having to reset your traits every time you are about to do something different.

-You switching utilities between fights does not constitute being a versatile class – any class can do that. Once more imo what should matter to you is how versatile the class can be with what you have at hand…at any given time.

- In order for an Engineer to do high damage the Engi needs to specialise to the point where diversity goes out of the window. Check out the builds that deal the damage numbers you describe, how versatile do you see them being, given the traits and gear needed to make them work?

I consider this the most enjoyable class the game has to offer…but that doesn’t change the fact that we are over-penalized for the use of kits.

The only actual advantage our “versatility” gives us is that our human opponents need to wait and see what our deal is more often (and longer) than with other classes. The amount of disadvantages we have been handed due to that “versatility” is flabbergasting to say the least and detrimental to the fact that you don’t get to see many mediocre engineers.

True versatility would allow us to get to a respectable % of our classes potential through multiple paths, which is not the case here . We should be a class that can spread trait points in a 15-15-15-15-10 fashion and still have the potential to come out somewhat decent. Obviously since we follow the same mechanics and philosophy in design as the rest when picking traits, this is never going to happen and we are stuck with cookie cutter builds with a spare utility slot here and there.

PS. You guys took the term “need a babysitter” harder than it was meant to…which was dependant to others. Obviously certain builds aren’t dependant to others for survival by definition of design (eg. bunkers or healers)

Although the list of things an Engineer theoretically could bring to the table…is long and cheerful, the grim reality of the matter is that there is no way to combine the majority of those in a “self-dependant” build..

Its all good when you have 1 to X amount of people tending after you (buffing/clearing agro/healing or w/e you need to make it work out there), but 90% of the Engineer builds that would bring a lot of versatility on the table will go down as soon as their babysitter gets distracted with something else (Dungeon Boss/Enemy player being the prime suspects).

I have never seen a person willingly run a medic build (unless its for testing purposes) nor do i ever expect to…and i would never expect to run into “blast finisher” builds or some other wacky combination…unless the engineer in question is still exploring his options or is being forced to trait as such by his guild for specific reasons.

Its the state of the class that causes this.We lack true versatility and have baptised a few preset paths as such.

What Engineers really bring to the table that no-one else can bring in such obscene amounts is Control (rifle #2/net turret/supply drop/toolkit magnet) which paired with the knock-backs the class offers allows them to dictate (on paper) where the fight takes place.

“On paper.” is the key word here, since we have no access to stability, while other classes have fewer knock-backs + control + stability or some other nifty trick to pull out of their sleeve.

We also bring RNG Buffs and AoE Heals…but would you take an engi over an ele or a guardian for their heal or buffs respectively, nerfing your groups damage in the process?

Perhaps i’m being narrow-minded here, but anything else i look at…either somebody else does it better than us or excelling at it requires us to be a one trick pony. I’m not saying there are no viable/strong/dominating builds out there that don’t heavily involve CC, what i’m saying is CC is what we do best than everyone else.

Ant.3415:

What MMO is better than GW2, especially for PVP? None I dare say.

If by PvP you mean close quarters zerging then you are 100% correct…No game on the market today can match that.

On the other hand if you define PvP as a place where tactics and skill are more important than bunching up and rushing the opposition to a corner…then GW2 has failed to deliver.

Not in a million years.

Anet has sold millions of copies, made millions of $$ and has failed to deliver what was promised to their clients. Giving them more money to sort out an issue they have already been paid for to sort out, just encourages that sort of behaviour.

The correct move would be a community wide embargo to anything that has to do with the cash shop. When the tap runs dry, they’ll seek out the plumber.

I move that we use this as a disclaimer in the opening of every thread..and as a reply to those that choose to ignore it.

Yamsandjams.3267:

This will be much harsher on mesmers than it will on us, so it’s actually kind of good for us since it means we’ll probably stand a bit better chance against confusion-based mesmers.

As for group battles, mesmers can do a lot of AoE confusion, so I imagine the nerf to confusion damage in WvW was likely to handle that case. Now you will need two mesmers to cause a zerg to rip itself to shreds rather than just one.

Yes and sticking a fork in our eye is actually a good thing…because imagine how embarrassing it would be at the hospital if it was jammed somewhere else.

Irony aside i don’t see why we have to suffer every time some other class needs to be nerfed. If confusion mesmers are the problem…nerf the traits that make the build..not EVERY confusion skill across the board.

Having watched the whole video all i have to say is:

1. These people don’t have a clue about the Engineer class and how it plays anywhere else but on paper.

2. ANY class has a higher priority than Engineer when it comes to being fixed/buffed/balanced. It is evident by their willingness to discuss anything else but Engineers and the level of excitement shown while discussing.

3. You would get a more coherent plan for the future of this class if you spoke to a mentally challenged person who just had 3 strokes back to back.

To me this video was the equivalent of them giving me the finger with one hand, while waving whatever money i have spent so far on this game on the other. My patience is running dry and i am beginning to feel scammed in the same way someone who bought a FIAT with a Ferrari badge slapped onto it.

As a result of the behaviour showcased and the course of actions that has been chosen my patience is not only running dry but so is my willingness to believe that it will ever be high enough on the “to-do” list. As such i will be considering quitting this game and suggesting to anyone i know that they do not involve themselves with it.

To the moderator: I invite you to watch the state of the game video from start to end before you evaluate whether this post is inflammatory or not (class trailer and website info – optional ).

what’s gotten into GH? they’re ticking 60 right now!

lol that’s how our server rolls tbh

It’s one of the (many?) reasons certain people are on your server rather than ours

Your subtlety is of the utmost quality. Mine, however, is not. I call a bandwagon server a bandwagon server when I see one, and that's a bandwagon server!

Why are you so mad? We got 2 guilds from SFR and you got one. That is only 1 more and you start calling us bandwagoners. The reason GH is losing is because of your unstable population that gives up way too easily. Too bad, see you in t8 soon. Maybe you will bandwagon to RoS also.

he just admitted he bandwagoned to RoS , ’’ maybe you will bandwagon to ros also""

You don’t get sarcasm, do you?

ThomasKreshant.6572:

I don’t see why anyone would need to adjust as there isn’t a compelling reason to care about winning or losing in WvW as the game provides neither reward or punishment for the result.

The only reason someone could really care is that nebulous reason ‘server pride’ but if the only reason you lose is down to coverage and you and your friends personally stomp your enemies most of the time your online well your pride should be just fine.

The important thing about WvW and any game is do you get fun fights and a laugh if the answer is yes well mission achieved if the answer is no well go do something else instead for a while.

Personally I’m having a pretty good time in the fights I get so it’s all good imho.

Agreed 100%

Alesh.4196:

I was just wondering if you dont feel alone. If not alright. And i doubt you needed confirmation of its effectiveness, since you took whole EB, that pretty much confirmed itself. Nvm looking forward for today’s fights.

When i joined EB was split 3ways with GH defenders snoozing…RoF had decent numbers that kept growing.

soulsugger.5726:

@ daweed,

Maybe next time put ur alarm-clock on at 3:00 am GMT, only tactics that seem to work for all our opposite servers, because our nightcrew only exist of about maximum of 10-20 active WvWérs on all maps.

We cant help it we have a high population of abandoned accounts/pve dragons farmers.

You are presuming that everyone operates at the same level as you, which is not the case. I just happen to wake up earlier than what most people (including myself) would consider normal hours.

I don’t care about your attendance problems and the reasons behind them…that’s your issue to solve, not mine to adjust to.

Alesh.4196:

Hey guys, at the beginning i would like to thank all of you for yesterday’s afternoon and night, i think that we all had some great fights there. Today morning/night is bit different story. I would just like to ask VcY and Riot. Yes great job on caping whole EB with 6 golems and 30+ ppl against 4-5 enemies. But dont you feel bit lonely doing that? If you are that good put up with us during the day and try to beat us fair and square not like this. I think you can do better than that. And I believe that we all ( includes you and GH ) would have better gaming experience out of it. Farewell Poke Master

I don’t represent anyone but myself. But i am consistently running around in WvW at hours like these…and i like to make use of what people call common sense.

So….how about instead of asking for RoS to do something about your lack of 24h coverage , you (the server) do something about it? We would all have a better gaming experience out of it and you wouldn’t have to use sub-par manipulation attempts

We won’t stop doing what we do…because you can’t deal with it. In fact you just gave us confirmation of its effectiveness, ergo an extra reason to keep the dawn (GMT) crews running.

You wouldn’t ask your forces to disband a zerg because you are stomping the opposition, so don’t expect your opposition to do any different. Common sense.

Why have they never made an updated version of Cannon Fodder that was such a great game! /offtopic

A small Russian studio did a couple of years ago…Having played it I’d have to rate it as “close but no cigar”

It saddens me to see that quite a few of the posts in here are either " I lost but you cheated cause ..you were standing facing North " or " Thank all of you 917 people for being there so i could kill you solo..look at me, look at ME !!! ".

Both show a lack of class and create only bad impressions to those that are following the thread, be it from your own server or an opposing one.

Try to remember that this is not supposed to be a competition but a friendly contest. We all share the same interest in GW2 and its WvW and if it weren’t for a single choice we could have been fighting on the same side.

Looking like a sore loser or a pompous kitten doesn’t help better your or your server’s image…Would you jump to a server with (what seemed to be) a healthy % of crybabies and/or kittens ? Think about it…

I know this is the “intrnetz” where everyone behaves at half their age and the forums are visited by the mouthiest of the bunch, but try to be smart about how you represent yourself and your brothers in arms to the rest of the community.

PS. I like to talk trash…and i talk a lot of it, but i was brought up in a -seemingly- distant age where you trash talked while the action was going on, not before or after it took place.

PS2. I am aware that its nigh impossible to convert to the opposition your feelings mid-battle..emotes need u to be standing still /opponents can’t read custom emotes/chatting with them is a tedious process etc…perhaps that should be a community request for Anet to consider (…aaand will probably come with a nice nerf to engies for being ..too expressive). I’m not hating on those people, i’m just trying to point out the effect their posts have to a third (or rather 4th) party.

PS3. Props to the humorous RPs

ShinjoNaomi.1896:

The problem is, how do you stop these lowlife griefers without impeding the legitimate people who throw down a lot of siege?
I’m not trying to give Anet an excuse here, but the problem is not a simple one…

….Which leaves us legitimate players in this unfortunate position. Keep screen-shotting the lowlifes. Keep reporting them. Keep bringing it up in threads like this.
It might take a while, but the squeaky wheel does eventually (hopefully) get the grease…

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to look at the submitted screenshots and ban people accordingly. If Anet gets multiple reports and (incriminating) screenshots on a player, it shouldn’t wait 2+ weeks to ban him/her.

Anet seems to ignore that news travels fast when it comes to exploits etc.
There hasn’t been a day in the last 10 days that i haven’t run into rams placed on the inside of towers and keeps. Similar trends have appeared in other servers as well.

Perma-ban or “temp- ban until further investigation” it doesn’t matter …get those people out of the game.-

Clockwork Orange [C.O.]

i’m the 3rd nameplate from the back

Make retaliation return a percentage of the damage dealt.

Its the reasonable thing to do in a game where class and build balance is the goal that you are aiming to achieve.

No buts, no ifs, no what-abouts.

The camera is a constant annoyance when running around with a tall Norn, never mind the class.

There is an abundance of jumping puzzles and vistas that glitch the camera no matter what zoom level it has been set by the user, a clear sign that none took the time to test clipping and camera issues with them.

Just rename the class to Nerfgineer . Atleast this way it will be abundantly clear what the role of this class is in this game…make others look good.

Daddydeath.9371:

Since RoS took our waypoint at our garrison its only fair we build one at theirs

So…you managed to take Garrison at around 3 in the morning GMT, then built a WP and came to post about it around 4:00 GMT.

Literally HUGE achievement worth waving your e-teabag around for…i hope your forces didn’t suffer heavy losses fighting through all those doors.

PS. This applies to all similar posts, no matter what Server the poster populates. This thread lacks what is commonly called “Class” when it comes to trash talking, slowly filling up with cheap insults and backhanded compliments.
