Literally hoped on the game this morning to upgrade my rings so I can do higher level fractals but unfortunately after taking all my infusions out and finding my ring can also not go in the forge I now have less AR than what I started with.
Thank you Anet for making sure my log on was a totally pointless fail session where I actually ended up farther away from my goal than I started!
Can we at least get a response to show you are aware of this and hear back to see if it’s intended or not?
Warhorn took a big nerf compared to what it previously offered. Previously it had the conditions to boons but now just gets rid of conditions. It also used to offer 12 seconds of swiftness on a 12 second cooldown (had +20% boon duration in that line) essentially giving the user permaswiftness (minus the casting time) just for having the warhorn equiped. Now it gives a pitiful 10 seconds on 15 second cooldown. Only by traiting for warhorn cooldown and signet cooldown can a warrior have permaswiftness which pigeon holes us into warriors sprint or runes that increase speed if you want to be at equal battle speed as other classes. I’m finding that my ranger with the quickdraw trait is faster than a warrior now…..
The next special event anet should hold is job interviews for somebody who actually experienced and passionate about the wvw game mode.

OUT OF ALL THREADS, THIS IS THE ONE I WANT TO SEE THE MODERATOR’S RESPOND TO (caps for moderators). We may be a MINORITY (hardly a small one at that) but we are not an EXCEPTION. Between that video, the last patch, and this golem rush event it’s hard to choose which is more embarrassing for you as a company.

This golem rush week has officially taken the “worst rush” spot away from Rush Hour 3. It is also the single worse idea to come into the game since doubling stealth time for pu mesmers. Kain treated his brother Abel better. When, as wvw players, are we going to get considered or have our game mode treated with respect?
For some reason healing spring is bugging out on my character. Creates some field (green circle with flowers) that does nothing then water field shows up 15 seconds later if at all.
Im at the same spot and it is bugged as well. Tried multiple times and bugged. Been bugged for months on months on months on months. Still waiting……
Upon further review it seems like whirlwind seems to be going 600 distance still instead of 450 like it says. Can we also get a nerf on the whirlwind distance? Guardians and necros can still be caught up to and that’s just not right.
Shield bash states that it goes 450 range which would be equal to whirlwind but when done side by side bash is traveling much shorter. Seems to only be going 300 range like it originally used to.
People that play the wvw mode of this game actually know one other fact that hasn’t been added.
5. The new trait system has actually pigeon holed people into even fewer builds and actually offer players LESS variance in builds. Please open up all 5 trait lines with the ability to go as deep as we want based on the new 18 trait points!
The gate control to let characters up seems to be bugged and won’t pop to use. Been hours now. Only here for the world completion and would like to get out of pve asap because of reasons like this.
I love people who are self-appointed experts on our off-hours coverage.
Don’t you make a living out of doing the exact same thing about other servers?
Toughest 5 man fights imo are 2 guardian and an ele (important that they stay within 300 rangeof each other at all times), cheese condi thief for cheese and refuge, and either pu mesmer for cheese and mass invis or warrior for annoyance and cc.
If not rewards for sticking on a server how about titles you get. It would be really great if they could relate to the server itself. On Crystal Desert for instance the title for most loyalty points could be “Knows the Definition of For Life”.
Welcome and thanks to all the new members and guilds that have joined since seasons end. Crystal Desert is now making a push to T3 on the behalf of our Sea populations hunger for fights vs DB or FA or whoever. Ultimately we would like to create a T3 that is as competitive as T2 but lacks the hugging/jamming T2 is known for in both roaming/guild/zerg fights.
Crystal Desert has been incredibly rebuilt by those that chose to stay as well as a couple new guilds that came before season 2. We enjoy the fight game here more than ppt and want to become a server that others want to face.
We will be needing more ocea/sea/eu if we make T3 so anybody looking for some good fights that aren’t over crowded or want to have others to play along during this time zone should seriously consider Crystal Desert. We could also use any NA guilds that play/raid during the atlantic time zone and maybe one more defensive minded/siege guild that loves some tower defense on enemy borderlands or ebg.
Since you’re new you probably don’t understand that this is kind of a karma thing for HoD. In fact, more players are laughing about your servers situation then HoD has people crying about it on their server.
Crystal Desert temporarily recruiting people who have accents and characters named with food or animal references. Cooking is important to us as well as how many times you can jump rope without getting caught up. Pizza vs hotpockets….puppies, who knows? Contact shiri or waffler for movie times.

CD is at its best condition now, drama free with each guilds coming together to kick our kitten up the tiers.
Yea this has happened before. You and I both know it won’t last though =/
So true. Our time in tier 5 won’t last long. Come join Zero and the rest of us on CD if you are looking for some t4 action.
Classy server shot in a guild recruitment thread. I’d be mad if my server played wvw for shiny weapons and then stopped showing up as well.
Zero has been a great addition to CD. Come join them and the rest of our Sea as we make a server effort for t4.
Come to CD. The drama that happened a year ago HAPPENED A YEAR AGO (don’t be afraid to pm somebody on another server to find out what happened a year ago though, lol). Currently we offer a scrappy/fighting ethos to go along with good mid tier coverage (something most servers in t3-t5 lack) and a dispersity of matchups.
Still only 1000 gems to transfer!
All this being said…come transfer to Crystal Desert (currently discounted still)
.
Condi removal in small scale fights is quickly saturated by the ability of many builds to apply conditions. The “just use cleanses” argument simply doesn’t work in small scale fights. I run a strong condi removal/reduction warrior and some condi bunker builds light me up with no chance of keeping them clear. Two decently played condi-bunkers are virtually impossible to tank.
how is that different from cc? if I’m fighting two decently played heavy cc classes I’ll quickly get chain stunned. my stunbreaks won’t save me forever. only 3 of my 8 classes/builds have decent stability on stunbreaks, I can’t ask anyone else to cast a stunbreak for me (afaik only guardian has a trait like that) like I would if I had conditions and needed a cleanse.
I can say the exact same thing about 2 decently played bursty classes.this is a group game, it’s not balanced around 1v1s or 1vX. if you’re running any group bigger than 2 guys and you are being overwhelmed by conditions and no one in your group helps you cleanse or remove the condition spamers of your back, your group is badly balanced, not really that good and probably deserves to lose, especially if you are, as you say, playing a warrior with strong condi removal/reduction.
Totally agreeing with Straegen on this one. Condi clears and big burst condi clears are on a much longer cooldown than the condi applying builds that are currently part of the condi meta.
How is it different? Stability. Many classes can apply it to themselves and a few can provide it for others. Everybody is well aware of the exceptions, warriors have beserkers stance andeles diamond skin, but there is no “Condi Stance Stability” effect that allows all not to be conditioned the way stability works on CCs.
The most upsetting thing about the current condi meta is how it rewards the run in your own aoe circle while staying away from the opponent playstyle . Some of these classes (mesmer, engi) even attack while running away, something a pure melee can never do.

Sorry HoD was not in Bronze. Going to have to answer the bold question with a “it would never happen”.
Making the mobility warrior (aka double melee) slower would make it the weakest class in the game. It would be like a guardian without protection and mutiple ways to heal. To be so mobile the warrior has to run double melee weapons. That means to attack you he has to come at you. He can’t run away and attack like an engi or mesmer. He can’t disapear and run away like a mesmer or thief. He can only run away in your face while not attacking/not attributing to the fight.
I’m sorry to the op who has to watch a warrior come in and smash and then watch him leave as opposed to thieves/mesmers that come in and then stealth and leave. This is really the only difference that I see here. The actual ability to see warrior players escape is enraging people so much that they are complaining more about it than the class mechanic that allows people to disapear in their faces and have the target dropped from them.
Uh misread and interpret your own meanings much. Not once was the desire to win even brought up. Before you let your anger type something absurd try comprehending what is typed.
You endorsed the most certifiably uninformed and misguided post in the entire thread. A post which, after being debunked, the author tried to prop up by attacking the character of his more informed counterpart. Even though that person wasn’t even from Mag and was just explaining the facts of the matter so that no one would be persuaded by his erroneous narrative.
The desire to win is necessary for the server stacking argument to hold up, because it is the only logical reason why anyone would intentionally stack a server. The fact that they obviously do not care about winning is just one way to debunk the argument. One could also point out the myriad of opponents that exist on the other T2 servers, such as Agg, NS, HOPE, ONE, EK, ETA, etc. Or one could point out (as was done earlier) that Ark and PYRO have always been on Mag, and EP only went there so that they could fight the SoS guilds because they had previously been on SoS. Or one could point out that because DB rose to tier 2 just one week before the tier was locked due to the tournament, but no one views DB as being a permanent fixture in T2, it is inevitible and normal that 95% of fighting guilds would end up on SoS and Mag at the moment.
You cant debunk facts buddy. The first sentence in his post was an observation by his own admittance. The second sentence of his post was a question. I then came on and gave my opinion and then listed an outright fact that can’t be debunked.
You keep talking about winning. We haven’t brought it up once. Now i’m glad you can out argue yourself but please understand all we are saying is that they would self admittedly have more/better competition if they weren’t on the same server. Not that they are stacking. Not that they must win.
Uh misread and interpret your own meanings much. Not once was the desire to win even brought up. Before you let your anger type something absurd try comprehending what is typed.
Interesting that all the elite GvG guilds who say they are looking for challenging fights transfer to the same server. They know they can’t fight people on their own server right?
This opinion hit the nail on the head. From my time on Mag it seemed very much like good players trying to bandwagon with other good players. Note the last sentence is also an opinion. One fact though is that if just one of those guilds left mag it would open up at least five possible new guilds to gvg with.
No hard ressing in combat. Problem solved.
The answer to the ops question is yes.
Sounds good dee jay but roamers would be better off if Anet made it where you can’t hard res while in battle.
Chicken little tears.
Who do you think the best commander on your server is, place names and servers below.
Cup of Chili
KainHenge of DenvariSeriously Chili is an amazing commander and KoME wouldn’t be the same without him or his leadership. No matter what you say no one can deny he is in the top tier of commanders wiping Guild v Guild zergs in 3 to 1.
After having Kome on our server for the majority of the games release I can deny that. Wouldn’t doubt if he was the best commander on HoD though that is obviously not saying much.
Best commanders in Crystal Desert’s history were Endorin (Violet Darkheart, early NAGA 2012), Boaky (understood the basics of siege warplay, map reading), and Daeronz (raid leading). Currently our best commanders are Daeronz and Ohbe with some possible up and comers coming of age.
Crystal Desert. We are constantly in matchups with servers that supposedly have the best roamers but if you are the type of person that must win or likes to hotdog with no condiments (ex. chili) then don’t bother coming. We don’t tolerate little boy stuff anymore.

Disagree with the op. Like was stated before we must adapt. The real problem facing roamers is the ability to hard res in combat. 7v15 becomes extremely hard when 2-3 guys can just res the pinned while the other 11 (even if they are slow turners) can do enough dmg to keep you preoccupied. NO HARD RES WHILE IN BATTLE 2014!!!!
Looking for an eastern time zone guild that wants to play in a positive wvw environment and be appreciated. Karma trainers/pvder’s/bandwagoneers need not apply.
This idea and no hard rez unless out of battle. Lets see this done 2014.
I feel the tombs should be similar to infusions in price. I don’t think 125 badges and one laurel would be an unfair asking price. Anet make this happen!!!
To move the topic away from HoD a moment, I’m really impressed by CD’s late NA/early OCX coverage. Must have queued 2 maps. Put them ahead of IoJ in total points for a few hours. Not sure if this is a reset/weekend kind of thing, or consistent throughout the week, but if you keep those numbers up, you’ll be a real threat to BP/SBI as well.
No ques. Not sure if it will last. Been so long since we met a server with skill or class that we all are really enjoying the matchup so far. GL to both IoJ and SoR.
(edited by kRAVen.4195)
Not a server one but I like to yell “Wipe their as_es”.
(edited by kRAVen.4195)
I’m guessing your thanking us for the gold you’re making in pve since you’re stuck in ques but if some how you are in wvw then please know keep lords, vet guards, yaks, and wooden doors don’t read the forum.
People keep saying that HoD has multiple maps queued, etc, etc. If that is actually true, then HoD players must be the absolute worst group of WvWers in the game.
HoD is beating NSP and CD, sure, but they’re not winning hard compared to some other matchups. YB and FA are both winning their respective matchups harder than HoD is winning theirs, and both YB and FA are in higher tiers (yeah, I know SoR is skewing things). HoD obviously isn’t even close to this all-conquering beast that people seem to think it is.
This here nailed it. Prepare to be pve rich when facing HoD in wvw for the week.
1.FA (barring a mass exodus of those wanting to be in gold league)
2.IoJ (whoever wins the matchup this week i got for second)
3. SBI
4. HoD (The two servers facing this server for the week will be the richest wvwers in the game for that week. I’m talking pve levels of loot here folks! Surgeon Generals warning has them possibly imploding before league ends)
5. Yaks (If the population is a bit bigger than the tiers below and they have skill the fourth place finish is a definite possiblity)
6.Crystal Desert (Op is wrong. We actually have more coverage and more people NA than before even after Kome left. It’s been a total blessing and we look to be a solid t4 server after leagues)
7. NSP (also have gotten more people and seem to have developed a bit of off hour presence)
8. Borlis Pass (unfortunate to be where it was when free transfers were announced, lost guilds and coverage, most hurt server in silver league by the announcement of the league itself and free transfers)
9. SoR (Haven’t faced them so don’t no their population but they could possibly be silver in name only or be a legitimate t5 server)
I’ll second or third CD. My guild TKVA has successfully trolled every havok guild so as to make them not transfer to CD. This way we always have people running to us to challenge their skills.
We have commanders on normally now with no que times. We can que one map if we really concentrate on it. Our community at the moment is the best its been since the launch of the game. PvE is very strong on this server.
CD has the biggest presence between HoD (close at the moment but bandwagon with ques) and NSP. Free to transfer here the next couple days.
Still looking for people of all time zones, especially EU/OCEA/SEA. Those looking to escape the ques of T1 through HoD and want to end up in matchups in tier 4 (up to tier 3 hopefully) after silver league should consider transferring here to Crystal Desert.
