Guild Wars 2

Cannons are like the final form of Ballistas. This can be useful hitting things Ballistas can’t. However, fighting under cannon fire never been a nice thing and open field cannons will be even more cancerous than open field arrow carts and ballistas are.

dragon.8071:

the last vote for that bl was hacked. it was rigged in that almost every vote included desert bl in some shape or form. there was not a vote that says keep it off. demand a revote and investigation into this matter.

dragon.8071:

the voting process was rigged. it’s not by majority when all the options are to have it included in some form. move it and call it another edge of mists map.

You problably missed the poll where they asked if the map should be removed then. Guess what option won?

McKenna Berdrow.2759:

The poll has ended! After removing all votes for “Don’t Count My Vote” the final results are:

65.5% No: The Desert Borderland map should continue to be supported.
34.5% Yes: The Desert Borderland map should be permanently disabled.

This means that the Desert Borderlands map will continue to be supported. Next, the Mixed Borderlands poll will be re-run to determine how the Desert Borderlands map will re-enter play. Thank you to everyone who voted!

You lost and Desert Borderland is here to stay. Suck it up and stop crying…

Balth don’t listen to the BS. I have put up with it for years and would still put my condi ranger in the middle of a zerg fight and have to save the butts of the tanks. If you still get some flak look me up on the DR server or in LA (which I am usually at recruting for my guild havc) and I’ll give you a home. If your good with your build I don’t care what you play I’ll find you a spot.

Condition ranger
Zerg fight

yeah, right…

Justine.6351:

The only server I dread getting linked to is DH because they are non-existent at night.

Just start winning and they will all show up… NSPPT did it and it took them all the way to T2 in the past link. We don’t call it FairweatherHaven for nothing.

Durability runes are sub par imo and need a buff.

Thats why they were removed from PVP??? And already nerfed once.?

1st scenario is far more likely under a 2,1,1 system.

Until there is a better Skirmish UI, the generic player will have no clue about any of this.

The generic player doesn’t govern strategy.

The generic player just want to follow a tag and press 1

Commander are like Cerebrates. They lead the Zerg Swarm. Have you ever seen a Zerg on defense?

Bunkering are for Terrans…

I never heard of players bugging dolyaks before…

As fas as I know, the dolyaks bug by themselves when they don’t have a full destination route to make. If you don’t have Stonesmist for exemple, the dolyaks will run back to the camp upon reaching the outer towers… However, sometimes the dolyak model won’t do the running animation and will be far behind of where the dolyak actually is.

The best place to transfer always will depend on what the person is looking for. Large scale, organized groups and high off-hours activity are better on top tiers, while lower scale, unorganized blobs and low coverage hours are better on lower tiers.

I don’t understand any of this. I’m just going to wear exotic stuff and play the game.

You can get easy rings and amulet from playing solely WvW. Just because you’re not interested doesn’t mean others may not be… Showing these people that they can just spend some minor time in PvE and get a upgrade is a good thing.

Never said it was a bad thing buddy.

I’m not your buddy, friend.

FilthyRat.4652:

Well since SF hasn’t had a worthy opponent in over 2.5 months don’t think any one here will take anything you say seriously. Seeing Agg’s tactics and skill I really find it hard to believe that VK came from a top tier server, but then again maybe coming down here was supposed to be a ego boost for you guys. Not to sure why any one from a T2 server would come and vacation on T8 for a week but it was nice of you guys to take 30+ free transfers from the lowest populated server for whatever the reason (sure they will be thanking you at the end of this upcoming week)

Glad that Agg is staying for the long run, good to have decent armies to fight.

lawl… I stated the part about the trasnfers before reading this post… Glad to see I’m not the only one who think they shouldn’t have done that as this pretty much hurt FC more than actually helped.

The average gaming player is selfish and cares only about “winning”. He won’t “lose” on purpose to help keep competition. All he want is win at all costs. However, WvW isn’t a MOBA or a FPS where you will see new oponenets after a few minutes. You’re stuck against the same team for a week, maybe for several. Demoralizing the oposition to the point they won’t even play won’t make it fun for anyone.

Pinkamena Diane Pie.8054:

I say free transfers for only the bottom 3 servers. All others still have to pay.

OriOri.8724:

This sounds like a horrible change. It completely destroys the solo roamers as they would no longer be able to do anything except kill sentries and dolyaks. They wouldn’t be able to flip camps or towers anymore.

They shouldn’t be able to do that anyway. Following his logic, since Sentry Mission require 3 people on cap you also should need 3 people on sentry circle. Oh and Yaks escort also need 3 people to count, so yaks not escorted should not count to upgrade stuff. #LetsMakeWvWGreatAgain.

Hvaran.6327:

guys, my NA friends…please when u writing about tier 1, 2, 3 add 2 letters NA or EU next time, it’s so annoying to open it just see that another Ronald McDonald can’t add 2 letters.

Best reguards.

Not like EU doesn’t do the same… On page 2 we have a thread named “Who gonna win blob tournament T1” which is about EU…

You barely hit the bottom of T8 and you’re on despair already?

Sure, give more reward for stacking a server to win when population imbalances are bad enough without even giving rewards…

You should try Eredon Terrace… Oh wait…

katz.8376:

yeesh. too bad you guys are on the same side or i’d say go fight it out on the field…

SF fighting itself is all part of “Sorrow’s Terrace of Denravi’s Crossing”…

STD will soon take over…

Chris.3290:

It’s hard to care about a server if you don’t even have a guild.

I actually belive it’s the other way around, since people with guilds are more likely to do things for the good of the guild over the good of the server… And when such guild decide to transfer off, the said player won’t think twice before leaving the server behind.

As long WvW is imbalanced, you cannot reward the winner. So scrap your gem rewarding idea.

Now I don’t think testing 1up1down is bad, altho I belive we would just see the same matches every other week. I wouldn’t mind the test tho, just as I didn’t mind 2-1-1.

aandiarie.7195:

What would be the point of trying to doing all that work ( and trying to also have fun, when there is a good chance you’d probably get in 2nd place which wouldn’t matter because 2ND and 3RD PLACE HAS THE SAME POINTS!!!!!

The point is to play for 1st place and not for 2nd.

Churchill.8714:

People join your server and you trash talk them?

Yes, Blackgate is already enough of a bandwagon… Now we get a lot more of bandwagoners from the biggest of the old Bandwagons, ruining even more the old blackgate… I miss the days when we had no big guilds and the community was all around medium-small sized guilds helping each other.

So, no, i’m not welcoming the SoS players…

T1 and their politics… /shrug

Anyway, here is score for now (Changed the colours to Humilation/Grape)

All of’em in their specific roles…

ShadowStep.3640:

I’m so tired of losing to JQ and BG in tier one, but TC just doesn’t have the numbers to compete with them anymore. One week we lost our ebg keep almost every night. This isn’t a QQ we need more players post, just a “I’m tired of losing every week post.” Like seriously, if JQ knew how little players we had on during US afternoons and stuff, they could take our keep with like only 20 players. JQ is definitely the elephant in the room.

When the people on lower tiers complain about losing every single week due lack of population, the people from T1 tell us to transfer out.

So here is my advise for you: transfer out

Honestly, I don’t think the problem is in the trait system but in how some trait lines became mandatory to certain professions in a way it feels everyone run the same. That without counting how Elite Specs are pretty much mandatory as well so you are stuck with a single trait line that may or may not change according to the player.

For exemple:

Warriors are always Berserker/Defense/somenthing. Have you ever tried play a warrior without Defense? You’ll just die. Plain simple.

Guardians are normally Valor/Honor/Virtue or the Dragonhunter variant. That one is old tho, cannot blame HoT for this one.

Elementalists are always Tempest/Water/somenthing because aura share healing with boon spam is too strong to pass.

Necros are always Reaper/Curses/somenthing because you need that boonhate or you’ll be plain useless.

Mesmers are always Chronomancer/Inspiration/Somenthing to be able to take part of the sustain fiesta or the full Jihad variant Domination/Dueling/Chonomancer for “do or die mode”.

Thieves are always Daredevil/Trickster/somenthing because Trickster was already mandatory pre-HoT and the only way a thief can compete now is beind Daredevil.

Engineers are always Scrapper/Alchemy/somenthing because every one and their mother wants that free 20% boon duration from alchemy coupled with a lot more of boon aids.

Rangers are always Druid/Beastmaster/somenthing so they can run their shout bunker bullkitten with buffed pets.

Revenants are problably the only ones that seen have more effective builds than 1 or 2 , but the ones I see most are either Shiro Bois (Herald/Invocation/Devastation) or Resistance Bots (Herald/Corruption/Retribution).

I’ll just sit and watch…

You don’t know the glicko hell… Only Sorrow’s Furnace, Fergusson’s Crossing and Eredon Terrace been there. And it ceased to exist very long ago…

Kaineng have gone way too far… Your ascension ends here!
To get to the T1 you need to cross the Blackgate and YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!

Grim West.3194:

ANET apparently intends to make NA player contributions more important than “off hour” players. So to ANET if you don’t play during NA times, you are a lesser human being.

I play NA btw. I just think the idea of making some players less important than others is a bad one.

Would you please link where they said that? Because I really don’t recall the skirmish scoring doing that.

sophiewhite.3149:

necro. obviously im not biased as its my favorite class and really the only one i play. deff not biased.

It’s good to have a necro around so we can give a sacrificial offering to appease the angry mob when they decide to chase down our group…

“FEED THE NECRO TO THE ZERG AND RUN!”

darkaheart.4265:

Jeknar.6184:

It’s just a little extra walk, wtf?

“the little walk” has mind all the other players, leaving the place empty.
i personally dont mind but its not fun if im there solo.

This place been empty for years buddy… Even when the WP’s were in front of each other.

Maladon.5760:

They should do that for PVE too. If I have to play a necro in a dungeon why does my thief get nothing??

Dungeon tokens are account bound, and you can enter with other character when the last boss os dying to get the rewards…

Try again…

Beorn Saxon.4762:

This is stupid. PvP ranks are account bound, so why shouldn’t WvW ranks be account bound. So are all PvE titles and achievements.

Well, that’s a valid question…

Nikola.3841:

Jayne.9251:

Wait.

So the definition of a good commander is one that gets everyone bigley loot?

Sigh.

No, definition of good commander is that he’s able to get more people than enemy one, so he can win, and get better loot that way

Again, its just the numbers game

At this point of the game I guess a good commander is one that don’t cry about pin sniping…

I don’t get why there is people here suporting these ideas… After all, it was YOU PEOPLE that forced the uplevels, PvE’ers and K-trainers unto EotM by spilling hate on them at the regular WvW maps. If I had 1g for each time someone said “Go to EotM PvE scrub” or “WvW is no place for uplevels” I’d be the richest person in Tyria. It’s just laughable how you now want them back to the regular maps…

The servers cannot handle it.

/thread

I thought these itens were all disabled from WvW?

Unfortenely those chests do exist… For the grub, the arboreal spirit and whateverbossexistongreenarea… Would be good to have’em moved to the objectives tho, people don’t usually bother with the 3 chests from EB.

Cruzyo.7304:

losing a fully upgraded garrison/SM to recap it for the sake of a big chest?

blowing away a couple of gold and hours to get that stuff back up for the slight chance of something orange in there?

please not.

I don’t think any sane WvW player would ever do that…

Plains of Ashes.5941:

AR ahead of ET right now. can they tie up last? Does GoM need second to stay in the hunt for 3rd in bronze? HoD and SF too close to call! Can Kain upset zerghaven? Loving bronze league i have to admit it!

Its wierd… ET beat Kain, Kain beat AR and AR beat ET… I guess we are the rock/paper/scissors.

BTW, we’ll not tie in last because ET and AR will face each other again next week: GoM/ET/AR (It will be a tie breakers unless ET get 2nd on week 6 and AR get 3rd). But HoD and SF can tie in first, if they win 1 each.

Offair.2563:

People still believe they were actually working on a majot overhaul?

This, my friend, we’ll never know.

Cantur Soulfyre.5409:

Forged in Hell (T8). Need to trademark that…

We’ll make sure to give it to SF if you guys ever leave…

Hyper Cutter.9376:

shiri.4257:

the population imbalance won’t be solved by anet.

Oh, they could solve it, but the player base despises the solutions so Anet will keep going with half-measures like linking servers.

No… The only solution Arena Net can have to population imbalance would be closing transfers. And that would please the players but not Arena Net pockets, thus why it won’t happen.

As long your can change teams, nothing Anet do will be able to keep balance.

Mehm.2036:

Commander sniping is ruining this game and making people leave.

Just because people cannot play without a single person shouting orders? That’s laughable honestly…

Player already transfer with no incentive man. You gain nothing but extra 2 chests with 2 blue and 1 gree for winning and people still pay tons of gems to move around to the next “flavor of the link” server. What you think it would happen if you gave incentives for them to move? More people would hop in the choo choo wagon for the flavor of the link to get their skins.

Terrible idea…

It’s not racism, it’s classism or professionism (since we don’t call them class here but professions). It would be racism if they called you out for being a Charr or somenthing.

But back on topic. I couldn’t care less about what people think I should be playing. If I want to play mesmer, I will play it, and the commander can go kitten himself if he want me to change profession. But I never bothered entering squads before and I continue to do so.

I will just belive in the impossible and think that hiding the math is a way to do manual arrangements on the tiers.

Synosius.9876:

It has been through the extrodinary efforts of a few individuals that SoR has made it appear there is still a wvw force. That level of effort cannot be sustained indeffinatly. For the past few months its literally been 10 or less players fighting your entire servers (not counting gsch events).

Pu-lease, we been fighting on the bottom for almost TWO YEARS. We have seen guilds poach our players countless times, and we hardly saw a 2nd place, even more a victory on a matchup over the course of the time (We have a grand total of 16 1st places in TWO YEARS from which 6 happened recently when we received transfers).

Yes, this kind of effort CAN be sustained IF the people doing it do it for FUN, and not because they belive they need to WIN, to have fun. Yes, nobody like to lose, but there are other kind of victories outside the ppt game.

If you get a good community group who can create a nice environment for players, you’ll problably see people peeking in, and if they like it they are likely to stay. But if the atmosphere around the community is toxic to the point people don’t even want to try, I guess it’s beyond salvation.

Rashagal.5867:

Plenty of space in a lower tier. This isn’t an issue that needs to be addressed. You want Tier 1 pop, you get Tier 1 queues. You want Tier 6 queues, You get Tier 6 pop. You don’t get both.

i don’t see why that should be the case when they can copy and paste the maps again. 3/4 are already copied and pasted.

Maybe because the lower population servers would get deserted maps? Blame the big bandwagons for long queues while some servers get outmanned in 3/4 maps 24/7.
