Guild Wars 2

This may be because tests are being done on the mega-patch to see how the new code works.

T1 has a huge collection of EU/OCX/SEA players. ANything Anet does to disrupt this would have a profound effect

If night capping is a problem, you should come to T1 where there is 24/7 action. All servers have EU/OCX/SEA guilds in eb.

If i remember correctly, vikings were humans. Norns are not related to humans at all. Thats according to wiki. /Shrug

Relating to a norn ele, they are extremly rare. Mostly due to their massive size and sticking out like a sore thumb.

I understand that vikings were humans in real life However in this game the Norn culture is very obviously based off of Northern/Scandinavian Norse/Viking culture, where as the humans in this game are more based off of the medieval/renaissance English culture.

My Norn Elementalist is going to be a female, she’ll still be big but definitely not as big as my Male Norn warrior!

Im an asura. You norns scare me. ALso there should be a race specific elite for norns where i can hitch a ride on your back.

Btw, for leveling your alt, run in EB. Unless there is a Karma/xp train in one of the main three borderlands. Just note that uplevels get creamed in WvW. But doesnt matter. Its having fun that matters most.

Good luck matey

I just saw this from postcount. Its hilarious

What is this eotm?

From what i heard , some folk are happy with the way t2 is panning out and some are unhappy. I shall leave it there.

With the closure of this site Please note your matchup thread is now at

soo.. is the gossip true? waha quit and the foo guild disbanded?

Waha took a break. FOO has another commander/s. Tonight there were heaps of foo so no they arent going anywhere. I see more PRX during SEA time these days. Other than that, everything during SEA and OCEANIC timezone is the same. I dont know about NA since i never play during NA.

I’m sure theres a lot of people on JQ and all matters of servers that don’t like TW being on JQ ATM, but I have to give credit where credit is due, they’ve been putting in work!

I don’t think people remember several months ago when Free Transfers were still around and people and guilds would hop around servers weekly on EU and NA looking for better fights, just because they could.

Can’t blame anyone for wanting to come to this matchup, the fights thus far have been phenomenal. I’m sure its a lot better than facing off against two demoralized T1 servers for another tedious week. Still haven’t encountered a lot of DB myself but theres hordes of Blackgate to fight on every map, its been enjoyable.

If random mismatches are the future of WvW, touring might just become a trend once again. Seems to me stacking servers has become an obsolete meta.

Don’t know what I’m talking about? Wait till you’re facing Eregon Terrace and Hendge of Denravi for a week.. Theres so many of us piled onto SoR, BG and JQ now that there isn’t much of anyone left for the other servers.

I was thinking the same thing myself today…people can go on about how great their server community is all day.. but when it comes down to WvW guilds, enjoying the game with your guild > server loyalty, pretty much every single time without fail

If ANet is going to keep throwing these bizzarre matchups at 21/24 of the NA servers (I don’t know enough about the EU side to know what’s going on there) they should open up free transfers to lower populated servers or discount the gem price to “Highly” populated servers and let people shop around and actually enjoy the game.

I humbly disagree on the generalization that was made. Myself and many others on JQ are fiercely loyal to the realm. Regardless of what the randomization brings i know many of us will stay put in JQ and ride it out.

Idk man, I was on HoD, I was on SBI, when a server is faced with big problems.. the majority of hardcore guilds will look at what is best for the long term growth and enjoyment of their guild over everything else.

I wasn’t really referring to any JQ players, because things are a lot different for us ATM than they have been for past T1 servers and guilds. Also there is really no reason for any of the WvW guilds on JQ to transfer off, and quite honestly nowhere to go thats worth going too. JQ is in great spot still in terms of our opponents and the cooperation among guilds on the server.

Ah yes. HoD. You are right to say that a total collapse of the wvw population in a server has occurred before, you are also right to note JQ is in a great spot. If only we had a great EU guild transfer over, it would be awesome. *Redguard, /wink /wink

LieutenantGoogle.7326:

These BG people got hard-ons for yaks.

They must be from New Zealand

the rooster has spoken.

I wish TKG all the best in BG.
Fuzzion will always remain JQ, till the day GW3 comes.
I have removed the TKG guest sig from my logo.

You missed your window, slow isn’t the word. Try non-existent, whoever was leading your server messed up for its climb through T2 to T1.

They may have messed up… Or not. I’ll never tell.

Can you talk to the DB people who keep coming to JQ LA to recruit? It’s sorta sad I wouldn’t want my servermates doing so. Just a honest question at this point.

Message me in game.

We even had (wont mention names) from a new guild in DB come over to JQ TS to convince us to go to DB.

The answer from most JQ players to DB is this – JQ is our home, win lose or draw, we arent leaving.

Now with that aside,

World Pride is what makes fighting the enemy worthwhile.

Lastly, BG,SoR and JQ , like i said weeks ago are destined to be together for a very long time.

We may thump our chests in the forums, but honestly, we love each other

And we that, I give BG a 5 out of 5 for their performance this week.

Congratulations to BG , JQ and SoR for keeping Tier 1 , the most competitive tier of all tiers.

Now someone go open a new Tier 1 May post.

/Salute and Goodnight. May next reset be just as competitive as this week.

It is a compliment. Just the same when someone emotes you. Or throws siege prints on you.

That made me laugh! :P

To be a good commander, run with some of your worlds good commanders and learn from them for a period of 3 months. Joining a reputable guild also helps with your image when running commander.

reddit if u really want to talk about this or else face this posts getting pulled

Offski.4897:

Let me sumarise the last few pages:

1. T1 is actually very competitve and close – but lets troll and moan on the forums.

2. Its ok for SoR to have a 50-100 ppt, but if this happens to jq or bg then its because Sor has recruited too much.

3. Only SoR does pvd, as long as Sor holds 1/2 keeps over all four maps then jq & bg are not pvd’ing.

4. Jq & bg never work in coordination with one another, this is a myph, even if they do not attack one another for hours on end on occasion.

5. SoR exploit…everything.

6. Although Jq and Bg have face rolled t1 for months at a time, there were no inequalities in coverage at these times, only when Sor scrapes wins.

7. SoR is only successful because it blobs, jq and bg don’t blob, in fact miraculously all sor guilds run together on all maps at the same time.

8. Jq and bg are permanently outmannned.

9. In Oceanic and Sea times coverage is even on all servers, in fact sor probably has the advantage in numbers, but the skills of jq & bg come to the fore at this time……

10. Inequalities in coverage are only acceptable if they benefit bg and/or jq.

In conclusion If you can’t beat them on the field lets flame on forums.

Looking forward to the replies, sadly i cannot play due to my crap ISP atm so can only forum warr to get any entertainment from this weeks match up.

Its cute when iron, a member of NA t1 for less than 16% of the total time JQ spent on Tier1 makes a (/chest thumping) comment about t1

In a recent reddit post, ascended trinkets,back and weapons + exotic armour VS Full ascended gear was a stat difference of 2.x%

You should aim to get your trinkets with laurels. That would be the first thing to do.

Yes I have to agree. Changes did not increase build diversity. Reversed it instead.

Dont need a youtuber to tell you WvW is dead.

I have never had the chance to play with TW , mostly due to time difference. I am glad you guys had a blast on JQ. /salute

I did the same. We should be able to use them in WvW. Now i feel like i wasted my gems

A comparison between ncsoft, activision and EA

We just call them paper or reinforced keeps,doors,etc. No one says tier1 ,2,3,etc. Very rare to hear that

Eles, have at this moment only 2 viable elites.

FGS has not changed much except for being able to cast it while running and having a bottom indicator on the total number of times the FGS can be used.

FGS should be used as a panic card unless you are a staff bearer. FGS vs DnD ele, the DnD ele has far more utility.

But with that said you can use the FGS best for the following scenarios

1) To destroy noobs
2) To destroy gates
3) For escape.
4) To catch a noob
5) In a 5v5 situation where u are fighting noobs , pull out that FGS and help melt noobs
6) To take camps
7) To destroy golems
8) To harass rabbits

Its the same on T1. Its like a marriage. Infact we are just gonna call T1 JadeBlackGateQuarryCoast.

This post should win an award.

Please vote on the community site to give Anet an idea of the consensus

http://www.gw2wvw.net/content/your-thoughts-revival-allies-closes-may-6th

Can a staff ele 1v1. Sure.

Should a staff ele 1v1. No.

Can a staff ele assist a 5v5. Yes

Should a staff ele 5v5. No.

Can a staff ele assist a GvG or ZvZ. 100% yes

Should a staff ele assist a GvG or ZvZ. 100% yes

Finally I get to PWN raw.

I love you anet!

Achilles.2197:

Just joined, awesome server and community! (Left SoS and never looking back!)

Awesome!

You must understand 2 things

1)There are much more PvE players than WvW players.

2)Anet has great ambitions to create s/t/PvP into an eSport and will not admit defeat and would rather keep pumping cash into it.

WvWvW efforts made by anet have been doubled but it is still far from the attention of pvp and pve

fade.8603:

Evil fade… will that be me? 20K difference, can it be caught up in 20 hours?
But then again fight for 2nd is pretty close, exciting! I’m sure JQuarians are pretty psyched up now

A 100%.

A glass ele thinking his a tank

• You see, according to quantum mechanics that the asurans discovered, there are 24 parallel universes in total and after having discovered the stargate mechanics from aliens delivered 20000 years ago, the enemy is constantly trying to eradicate each universe so that in the end there can only be one. Also i am very sure I quoted 3 movies in that paragraph.

Reverence.6915:

JQ outnumbered in Aussie prime? Huh…

We can barely field a float team in that time zone at the moment. Far cry from leagues populations this week

Time to open that warchest mate.

Good ideas. Drawing a compromise

• Without destroying the economy lets have these you can get for karma/badges/etc

LVL 55 30m Bowl of Chickpea and Poultry Soup -28% Condition duration
+50 Vitality

• These are TP sold

LVL 65 30m Bowl of Poultry and Leek Soup -36% Condition duration
+60 Vitality

LVL 80 30m Bowl of Lemongrass Poultry Soup -40% Condition duration
+70 Vitality

Jahn.7019:

Fuzzion.2504:

Any1 else notice that our tier 1 ratings are slowly dropping amongst all 3 giants even if any1 of us came first. Why is this so?

No one is pulling out huge wins anymore. If anyone is winning, it’s usually around 10-20k.

Smaller wins are better imho, that means the servers are getting closer and closer to being balanced.

Maybe one day we will be lucky enough to keep playing for 1-2k wins. How amazing would that be.

So when we are finally getting population balance, they introduce “the league” to unbalance things or will it be better for balance?

We just found Neo from the Matrix.

Who really cares. These folks paid for the game and should be allowed to decide what they do.

Thanks mate.

Hope they fix this problem

Eles are getting shafted.

Now with that said -, some theorycrafting builds

66060

60066

00666

06066

are likely to be tested examples.

The meta is likely to revert to the power based tanky builds for dnd.

Aura builds are likely.

With anything , i am very sure we will learn the best exploitive builds in 2 weeks. After all we have been getting our regular nerfs since 2012.

I thought the OP was complaining about our already nerfed ELE mistform.

you need 20 to 30 in arcane at the very least

The rest is your choice on type

JQ does have coverage gaps. But not large enough that atleast one map will not have a commander. Also JQ has very competent commanders leading in T1 on all timezones – SEA-OCEANIC-EU-NA many of whom love all sorts of combats, be it taking keeps or open field.

TC is a friendly robust server with some time gaps but i believe that will be changing next week or two.

BG is the largest server by far.

SoR has lost some guilds but are still within the Top 9 servers with coverage gaps.

The rest of the top 9 im not really sure.

You can also go to www.gw2wvw.net and post on the matchup forums for a more candid opinion .

It wont happen.

1. Is the class really as exciting to play as it looks?

Yes. You can switch to staff for long range damage or DnD if you are looking for close combat fights. Eles are also a pain to catch and have some of the best mobility.

2. How high is the learning curve?

Staff requires almost no learning curve

DnD is where the noobs are distinguished from the pros.

3. If I do roll one, what would be a good leveling spec to use?

For PvE , fire was my favorite.

4. Can you recommend a solid survival-based PvP/WvW spec?

Not sure about PvP but for WvWvW the solid survival spec is 10 air 30 water 30 arc

A modified version of it is 10 Fire 10 Air 25 Arc 25 water

Some add earth instead.
