Chrono rune on Necro is a bit bugged..
Traited-well is not giving quickness! I wanted to try out a quick-resser necro! 
And the Heal skill gives it at the start of the cast time not the end so you can cancel the cast and still get a bit of Quickness xD
Maybe I should post it in the bug subforum… ahhh, none will read it anyway…
Sustained burst.
I think Fay’s point was that Thieves have almost no skills with a noticeable activation time. So it’s hard to even proc Powr Block on them in the first place, unless you get lucky, and even then you won’t get the recharge increase effect anyway.
With SA DP Thieves, the usual poo+leap is a nice thing to rupt, can screw them really hard

Lagging in a 2v2 fight in wvw, rubberbanding, etc.
Switching to spvp, no lagg, no rubberbanding, skills/weapon change are working..
Yup, my ISP/PC can’t handle the 2v2 in wvw but has no problem with 5v5 in spvp
Pic for those who can’t imagine the wall
(Paint FTW!)Thanks Bubi. I wanted to post a similar picture.
As you can see the wall blocks all trajectories below 85°. Therefore only target on the wall or very close behind the wall are attackable. All targets far behind the wall are safe.
The thing is, I’m not sure if this is how it actually works in the game (you may have meant to say that, I wasn’t sure).
We were discussing a theory about the real world, where Arrows have trajectory, mostly reacting to this
Gravity and physics. Math works!
So yes, we wanna nerf ACs a bit, either having ~real trajectory or disabling the new changes while on siege.
Nah, all they have to do is add 1v1/2v2/etc. DM arenas into the mist so we can slaughter each other while waiting to “play”.. Ooops, I would never Q up again, sorry
Dear Arenanet, It’s just like this.
There is no hype for upcoming tournament at all.
Maximum 30% of wvw population is hyped for it.
And those who wanted to try AA(Artichoke Age) on start will get that chance and you will loose them to AA, just because nothing fresh they will meet in gw2.
Your game is beautiful.
Combat mechanics are awesome.
I don’t care much because AA looks ugly for me (but i will try it though) but those nerds need more hype at certain points.
If you don’t have some big surprise to balance, guilds, wvw, pvp or anything else you will loose a lot of population.

)
“Victory or Death” had moving airships, right?
Nope. Just an illusion of movement while the ship was stationary the whole time. The engine just doesn’t support it. Sure you can see other airships moving, but those are not solid, they’re just props with no platforms to stand on.
Actually VoD’s best part is the fact the ship’s not moving.. I mean did you ever summon a banner/use Ice storm on the ship?
IT WILL MOVE BACKWARD!
FLYING/RUNNING BANNERS!
Last time we did it, we had so much fun on TS while trying to outrun the flying banner.. Ohh, Zhaitan is over there? Quaggan it, the banner’s moving!
And jumping down trying to wp back before dieing is a nice #esportz mode, who can wp back later while still alive!
Yes, wvw players in pve..
Btw to say something about Airships..
The more “pvp” (not pivido, not npcs, not automated turrets, not sieges) wvw has the happier I’m, so anything that comes with more siege/automated turrets gets a big NO vote from me

I can also argue that moad player can survive by LoS/run away/dodge/evade as well
I was trolling with Power-necro, and a mesmer Moa’d me before he got down to 50% hp. Then a “lucky” CoD proc with #2 downed him and I AAd him to death while I was still a Moa.. Okay, it was YoloQue with lucky proc, but still, Moa is nowhere a secured kill
1.: The “Official” dueling area is in Obsidian Sanctum, there’s a loooo~ng tunnel at the beginning which ends in an arena-thingy.
On borders south to the south-camp, behind the Windmill is the spot where most “agreed” duels/fights are, as it’s far away from the other players, less chance to get interrupted by them.
2. If you just want to find someone to fight, you can try to “poke” a spawn-camp ( south-west and south-east camps) and see if there’s someone coming for defense, you can try to wander between the south-camp and the southest-ruin, near the Sentry, or maybe between Bay and Garri.
3. I don’t really know a lot about ebg (I think there are duels/fights near SM outer walls, like the south area), but I don’t like it, I’m roaming on borderlands.
But IMO it depends on the matchup, on which tier is it, on which servers are there right now. Some has more roamers, some has almost none, some has a “lot” of duelers, some has almost none.
For me, EBG in higher tier is more about the blobz, and thou you can find roamers, the chance to find the zerg is pretty high compared to (non-prime-time) borderlands, when only one map-jump blob is there
I’m sure someone from the lower tiers will say what’s the roaming-situation there.
So some are saying that the players who are doing small-scale are better at small-scale than those who are doing larger-scale? OHMAGAWD!
I wanna see 15/20 spvp player vs a gvg-guild fight in OS
Our 3 man guild-party just got the reward for the mission, we took a camp and “upgraded it” (ala afk in the camp) for ~8 mins then suddenly we got the reward.. So it’s bugged some way for sure.
(We took a camp before but forgot to start the mission, so we went to the other camp, started the mission, took it then went to afk.. Now either the old camp’s upgrade was down or the new one’s was somehow “faster”, but either way it has some bug )
The aoe is 180 range, it will never hit 5 targets.
4 players ressing the 5th downed.. Bamm, you hit all of them
Okay, true, during normal combat it’s low-chance, but not “never”
Also, tell me the last time you heard someone say ‘someone drop an ethereal field so we can blast it!’. Ah, that’s right, that’s never happened.
Actually… some years ago, there were a few commanders in wvw who liked to get Bubbles (Big Pink Bubbles!) before clash on their meleetrain.. when someone called Nullfield/TW, sometimes he said to Blast it
‘Cos Big Pink Bubbles on Charrs is OP! (And it’s easy, hammer guard/WH warrior in a party and a fast blast while moving through…)
The problem is that there is no low-CD Ethereal field, you can’t just waste TW/Nullfield for blasting.. while staff eles have their Fire Fields on a much lower CD. Quaggan, even their water fields have lower CD…

My favorite angry-whisper came from a Stealth-based Thief during roaming, as I was using SD-Engi with Analyze , I was called playing “noobplay” ‘cos it destroyed him..
(You know, those ~20k burst (5-6k Pry Bar, I Love You!) SD engies, 6 second is enough most of the time.. ofc against good Thieves it’s not so easy, but average ones are just panicking and using every stealth skill..)
Was not even a /bow 1v1, just roaming..
So it’s perfectly fine to stealth away every 3 sec for another Backstab but playing something against Thieves is “noobplay”
Edit:
My problem with running away is that not every class can do it with the same effort.. I mean as a power-necro, it’s almost impossible to get away, so I just fight ‘til death, I have no chance to run away, while every Warrior with GS can do it.
Ofc I’m not saying it’s cowardly, I just take it as I won and they had to run away. But if they come back after regenerating I’m a bit angry

“If this was your first time discussing Moderation and posting regarding exploits/hacking, we might consider your request. As you have 20 total infractions, and 11 of them have been about disputing moderation or accusations of hacking/exploit/griefing.”
Ohh yea, “good ol’ times” when the mention of hack/cheat would result in a deleted thread and some nasty infractions
After watching “the video” (the presentation they streamed), for me it seems like an eotm +skyhammer+pve combo.
Ledges to knock enemies off.
you mean like there’s ledges close to hills and to the northern towers in the current borderlands map? Shocking.
I don’t remember legdes next to the gate on the current maps, neither ledge-stairs from where the falling equals death.
Automated Turrets which shoots you.
without playing the map, the effectiveness of the turrets remains to be seen: I hope those are not as annoying as the cannons in EOTM
The Knock-Back Turrets next to a ledge means certain death if not dodged/no stability. Effectiveness is big.
Big Boom Cannon which destroys every enemy outer gate (basically opening every tower), so you can capture everything faster when you have superior numbers (timezones for da win!).
because a zone blob building 20 omega golems couldn’t wipe your borderlands clear, right?
20 omega golems need “a few gold” (~50g), “some supply” (let’s say.. 3k?), and they can be destroyed by good defensive siege placement/scouting.
An event which occurs every 3 hours, where a big blob can just split up to 3×20 man groups, use the cannon, blob up again and take towers (no gate), take keeps easier (no outer gates, so supply needed only for inner), so it gives little chance for defending.
instead, it looks like this event requires a lot of coordination: there’s 3 collection points to camp, and 4 towers and 3 keeps to conquer as quickly as possible after the event is completed, that means you’ll probably need a lot of smaller, coordinated groups, instead of a huge blob of mindless zerglings spamming staff 1: scary, uh?
‘Cos during the night, when your server has 5 ppl defending against the enemy’s 40 man nightcap, the cannon will make your defense easier, yupyup.
Keep Lord, which are.. “fun to fight”.
’Cos wvw players love to fight npcs, yup.no, we don’t like fighting npcs
but when we are defending against bigger numbers, we’d rather have useful NPCs to our side, instead of wooden puppets that will die in seconds
As long as the boss scales, its not THAT bad.. but instead of making pve-bosses, I would like to see defensive layout, where the defensive players have some advantage.. like you can shoot them from the wall while they cant you? On the video I saw the same walls as now, providing close to zero defense for defenders.
The map is nice, it’s beautiful, but.. I fear the mechanics will make it close to unplayable for me
your opinion is based on like… 2 minutes of random footage?
The “2 min random footage” was a ~40 min tour on the map with developers discussing it.
Not the same.
ANet said they wanted to make defending more interesting (and hopefully, more rewarding); I think the design shows it. Choke points, powerful mechanics for the defending forces holding the shrines around the keep (improved mobility and stealth) and defending NPCs that can actually make a difference in a equal-numbers fight.
If the attacker have harder time when equal numbers are fighting, they’ll bring more numbers. That’s all.
Calling the “Big Boom Cannon” a “PVE event” is just plain ridicolous: there will be players from all the factions trying to win the event (by killing each other, mainly, I guess, since killing a player damages the enemy AND gives you a point), and you’ll need to decide how many players have there and how many to have close to the towers and keeps for a quick cap. Endless possibilities of taking advantage of the enemy hard work…
I don’t remember calling that event PVE event, I was calling the map one with filled pve. NPC sentry golems (shrine reward), NPC lords with pve mechanics, jumping-puzzle-like jumppads, etc.
And they are trying to split the blobs, by making it impossible to cover all the objectives with one single group.
I’m not saying they succeeded, but the ideas are sound, and I hope there will be some form of beta testing before the release.
With the towers-blocking-the-path change (which is actually an interesting one), dunno if you can split the blob up better or they’ll just blob themselves past the tower THEN split up, or just continue blobbing as always.
And don’t forget, there was a reason to take out the Orbs from normal maps.
Afaik it was the FLYING/FASTRUNNING ppl.. They’re still here, so I don’t know what to think about it.
