Guild Wars 2

Thank you for what you did.

What was really irking me was the false-report part, and I found the other thread and saw that was not as unpleasant as it sounded by hearsay. Sorry about that.

And it was daytime NA, well before the usual prime pressure.

This is a nice gesture, but we’re seeing that it’s still not enough. Yesterday, in Tarnished Coast’s garrison, a small guild full of trolls drained all the supply with useless trebs and flame rams. They were mass reported as they stood around TAUNTING THE MAP OPENLY IN CHAT and building their trash.

No GMs showed up….

Until HOURS LATER, when it was all gone and none of the trolls were still around.

Then a GM showed up, saw nothing, and from what my servermates are telling me, they are being accused of false reporting.

Unbelievable.

Pay attention to the chat logs and the screenshots, please. And it’s obvious there are not enough people prepared to respond to these reports.

ACs covering the south hills gate from the upper cliff inside the walls can be hit by an ac on the south cliff outside the walls… with no special tricks or hacks. I’ve done this, and you can too. Just learn to turn the camera to make the most of what you can see.

^ Yeah. At first we thought you might be making generous donations to our poor Bay defenders, coming and wiping to half your numbers. Then you even did it again! Guess some of you had second thoughts though, and put up that AC. Glad your friends convinced you to contribute anyway! =) At least you got the consolation of taking Briar afterward, vs. about 3 of us.

Rizzo seems to be partly right, you have to click-target the wall, but it doesn’t work from just any angle. I’m having the most luck from the left side.

I can’t target the Claw’s barrier anymore, and it looks like a lot of people are having the same problem, because there are very few bazooka shots flying when it’s up, and the time it takes to kill him has skyrocketed.

Breakout events are horrible. “Attackers, get your first tower free (as soon as you can get 10 people to hang around your spawn)!”

But wait – 10 people is not nearly enough to hold that tower against a defender-server force that outmans you. So as soon as the event is over and everything’s settled down, the home server will just flip the tower again. All this really does is remove a sense of accomplishment from gaining your foothold or securing your home map, and make capturing that tower feel pointless more of the time.

From either side – attacker or defender – I don’t want to play ping-pong with the towers nearest the attacker spawns. I’m fine with having a bit of a steep mountain to climb, metaphorically, to gather up enough competent people in that borderland to take and hold the tower. That’s the way it should be. The events are just a bad joke.

I’d be all for showing FA what -actual- 2v1 looks like. Bets on how low we could hold their average point gain?

Want to tip my hat again to the thief I fought tonight in CD borderland between Greenlake and Greenwood camp. I think we tangled two or three times when you came after yaks. Our fights after you took out the ballista were the most fun 1v1s I’ve had so far, because we seem so closely matched. You had me down to a few hundred hp when I got you; hope you saw my /salute and I hope we meet again!

That could easily be shifts, even if it’s just a couple of people who are having fun bombarding. I sat on a treb at Stomemist a few weekends back and pelted YB’s Overlook for probably 2 hours straight. My shots weren’t always neat and fast as possible, but I was a newbie trebber and eating dinner at the same time. =)

If the length and consistency seem really suspicious though, see if you can get someone on that server to check on who’s manning that treb and whether they might be using any bots/macros/etc. Most TC players I know are honest and don’t like the idea of a win for us coming from cheating.

Braxxus.2904:

TC group of about 20 in there camping various ledges, mostly mesmers.

Sorry about that, even though I wasn’t there. Not sure about the other maps, but at least in TCBL, we try to keep the jp neutral ground and not camp or fight in there unless someone else starts the fighting. Thanks to whoever it was on FA who let the solo TC thief into your jp tonight when you saw that’s where I was going! I didn’t cause any trouble.

Also, a jaunty wave to the FA who took back your southeast keep tonight – that was me solo-defending the north gate after – it seemed – everybody else we’d had on your map decided to take a break! Am sure I could’ve done things more efficiently, but it was fun trying to hold out as long as I could. I think you had a south gate team that beat you inside and took care of me for you.
