Just wanted to say, the fight at SBI hills today was hilarious.
Not only did we hold outer for 1hour+ but lords room for about 25+ minutes with 15 people against 40 SBI, i must say, if i were the commander of that SBI zerg, i’d be badly ashamed of myself. Your first push cleared all our siege and npc’s in lords, but you whiped half the zerg, the second time we held you off with simple combat against those huge odds for another 20 minutes, all tho you did cap it at the end, i wouldn’t have been very happy with that performance..
However, so proud of the BP who were their and defended, was amazing.

We would have kept it if it weren’t for the zoom-hacking elementalists from SBI who cleared the tons of siege we had set up. I have screenshots but don’t see the point in posting them.

Because BP is soo perfect.

Last time we had someone cheating via multiboxing. EVERYONE in map chat gave him kitten and reported all his accounts. Its been 2-3 months since we’ve seen anywhere.

Anyone “Zoom Hacking” should be banned with proper proof. So post it.

But beaware you have server mates that do it.

feeds troll

Don’t say anything like, a teammate could have targeted it through the gate, i checked after the fight from every angle possible and it was impossible to target it.. and i have large monitors

Har – Large monitors…I see you have a ‘valid’ excuse and a good understanding on how this zoom thing works…golf claps

My mouse is HUGE and you wouldn’t believe the size of my keyboard…probably the third biggest on the server.

Note that the moment BP Waypointed Shadaran Hills the points gap between us and SBI began to close rapidly. We have now overtaken you.

Waypointing Hills isn’t a cause, it’s a effect. The work week started so you were able to waltz into just about any of our holdings and do whatever you wanted. Taking Hills wasn’t a turning point, the turning point happened much earlier and resulted in you being able to take Hills.

This is a really dumb change. I’d rather have the old version back plz.

This builds aim is to be mainly support while being as survivable as possible. The idea is to might stack allies to make up for your lost DPS too. Its uses are mainly for WvWvW but is would have its uses in some PvE content.

I like what you’re trying to do Adam, I appreciate people who think outside of the box. I’d also like to say you should absolutely ignore all the people in this thread who are telling you what you should be doing in WvW.

I can see how your dodge heals and empower would heal for a really nice amount and the boon duration is impressive. I think some of the advice in this thread is worth taking however. Stability for example is something that could really benefit you and your allies, particularly with the very long durations you could impart. Additionally, considering all your boon duration bonuses, perhaps you should look into more skills that grant boons like Stand Your Ground and maybe Save Yourselves.

Your armor is a little low and your hit points are a little high for my tastes. I prefer 3.2k+ armor and run with around 15k base hits. If you had higher toughness you could drop Strength in Numbers and go with Purity to supplement condi removal. Bottom line though, with the amount of healing and long duration buffs you’re throwing around I’m pretty sure you’re pulling your weight.

Raids are serious business..

Gravy.7589:

We were always a bit troll friendly on SBI, stop acting like its something different now. Care bears

Trolling is one thing, I’m very pro-troll

This week however, we sound like BP 2.0 and it’s making us look every bit as egotistical and arrogant as they are. We’re fighting against two servers who are outnumbered and have no chance of winning the match. SBI, of all servers, should understand what that’s like. Yet here we are..

Everybody hates treehorn and logan.

I want to make a table out of treehorn. Then I want to smash that table into pieces and then burn those pieces.

Zikory.6871:

The reason for removing the rewards for yaks was due to a few paths being very short and easily farmed. I’m not sure if they did anything to fix that but personally successfully stopping people from killing my yak is reward enough for me.

That can’t be a limiting factor because there’s such an easy solution. The reward should be based on the length of the path and how long the defender was in range of the yak. Pretty straightforward if you axe me.

From an SBI perspective, we had a lot of victories last night. We crushed several zergs with much smaller numbers and had a really good night of PvP. We had a pretty terrible night of WvW as we were constantly playing whack-a-mole with SoR groups popping their heads up as soon as we responded to attacks elsewhere on the map (Eternal Battlegrounds fyi).

There were plenty of badges (93!) and plenty of loot but not very many points to be had. We fought hard for our keep on several occasions last night (see pic below) and repelled the zergs right up until around 3am. I realize that most people would view a multi-golem attack vs a server with the outmanned buff as a dick move but it really was the only way they were ever going to take our keep. I know it feels like SBI is getting kicked while we’re down but let’s be honest, that’s really the best time to kick someone so we’re going to get kicked…A LOT.

We still have some of the best open field fighters in the game. We still crush larger forces regularly. We may not even be able to hold the ground we’re standing on but they’ll know they’re in a fight when they try to take it.

And now…action pics!

Show us on the doll where the thief touched you..

We ran around for a few hours last night and it seems like everyone is hitting harder after the patch. I know my attack power went up significantly after the patch. As an elementalist, my damage output seemed considerably higher than normal. Is this the case across the board with all classes?

Anyone else hitting a lot harder or getting hit harder than usual?

Barry may be too cool for some of you guys so here’s some alternatives…

The Distillers – City of Angels
The Creepshow – The Garden
Amanda Palmer – Do It With A Rockstar VERY NSFW

These new borderlands make me want to log out and go kill a drifter..

Yeah they’re all liars and they got you
/point
/laugh

Solution: Stop spamming attacks like a moron. Paying attention is all you need to do to make this “problem” go away.

I kinda like them to know we’re outmanned when we roll their zergs..

Bannok.3152:

Zerg? I hope your not from DR claiming zerg? I

Just because 30 of you get wiped it doesn’t mean that equal numbers or more did it to you. And, yes – compared to other servers I’ve fought SBI is a zerg server.

I think this Oozo guy is a bot, he says the same things over and over

For the record, I would pick BG keeping us at 45 PPT for 2 weeks and learn something rather than an inflated server with an even more inflated ego that refuses to bring the hurt out of cowardice.

For the record, we’re ticking at +545 right now and have control of your entire BL. That’s with about 25% of our active population in WvW. Most of our regulars are doing fractals/dungeons or leveling alts.

Two days ago you were ticking at +405 against the same force, what happened?

I’ll tell you what’s happening, you guys are quitting. A lot of the SoR commanders are patronizing you because we want a decent fight to help workout our inter guild coordination. Unfortunately outside of PiNK and AL, you’re all quitting.

You don’t want to be patronized, get back in WvW and give us a decent fight.

Dude you’re gonna get in so much trouble. You’re not supposed to be scoring points right now…

ceg.2587:

hi all,
i am playing guild wars 2 for a while but i feel that im pretty weak in wvw…
can someone teach me some helpful tips?

Spend a day or two in sPvP

Communication is always a good thing!

They should just rename it to Symbol of Supplemental Swiftness

Reikou.7068:

SBI on the other hand again continues to disappoint. Absolutely terrible Bloodlust Control, and it just seems like its impossible to muster up 2 other people to even attempt to take Bloodlust, even with all the new additions. Its kind of pathetic.

On the bright side, we hardly ever stomp people anyway..

Xsorus.2507:

Dakarius.3284:

This nerf is much bigger than most realize. It hits an entire trait line in the face.

Here’s what it affects for my balanced (10/30/30) build
-blind on stealth goes from 3s cd to 4s cd
-cd on healing in stealth goes from 3s to 4s.
-cd on bs 3 to 4s (huge dps nerf)
-cd on condition removal 3s to 4s

So I received nerfs to damage and survivability beyond just having more visability. Meanwhile instagib thieves remain untouched because they don’t use the survivability from the shadow arts trait line.

I play a thief, and if you think this is a huge nerf, you’re lying so you don’t get nerfed more.

You will not land stealth every 3 seconds on the dot everytime…Unless you’re chaining stealth over and over again with CnD which most didn’t.

You will not notice this change at all in actual WvW.

They Copped Out of actually making stealth require a semblance of skill and decided to go with this pathetic measure so they didn’t hurt the easiest of classes to play.

Pretty much this ^

Party Master

1. You can kick people if he is offline.
2. You can kick people if he is another map.
3. You get "Kick Power that doesnt need “to be seconded” for 10sec after succcesfully kicking someone from party.
4. You can kick Chuck Norris.
5. You get one stack everytime you kick someone from party. At 25 stack, you are UNKICKABLE.

5 should be the ability to kick someone from the entire map

Dear SBI,

I understand you want to show off your huge population and the fact that you 5:1 our player base all the time, but are you really that insistent on wiping people just trying to get some wxp? Seriously, I think it’s safe to say that you guys have won this match. I mean, your score is lol times EB and NSP.

You guys can’t even fight us outside of your towers and cannons and run at every even odds fight I’ve found. I hope you’re happy standing in empty borderlands for the rest of this match up because no one wants to even go into wvw because you’re so worried about PPT.

Come play with us on SBI BL.

We are just bored, please don’t take it personally.

Bah.. I’ve been in Sbi bl for the last 4 hours. I seen the rare spawn |Lexi|Frogmanmesmer out of the water , so I continued to take the camps with the hopes to flush him out in the open.

I got you alone .. out of your precious water/tower/lolupgradedcamp an give you the 123. as for that |lexi|ele , who ever you are , your going to get a sore spot humping them t3 towers.

As for the rest of the sbi rabble that keep showing up to help.. rethink your builds and strategy. You guys define horrid.

Hahaha, we killed you enough times to finish my achievement. Ahh, good times.

Sorry about your stacks. Our condolences.

P.S. Thank your glass thief for giving me my very first tea bag ever. The 15 or so times he emoted /sit made me feel special.

Now Blode, don’t go picking on the fellow. What happens in his wvw time is obviously -very- important to him. Chuckles

Incidentally, on a completely different note, the XOXO thief that I spoke and sparred with for quite some time earlier in the night was a total class act.

Wish more interactions with enemies were so enjoyable. He gives his guild and server a good name.

Fun stuff.

You’re welcome for the /sits! I save them for only the most special people… for example, those who prefer one or all of the following:
-people who run to camps/towers because they’re worried about their kill/death ratio,
-people who sit on cannons instead of fighting,
-people who run even though they have a numbers advantage,
-people who stand in fully upgraded camps,

Incidentally, you qualified for all of the above within an hour. Congratulations!

On a side note, I enjoy conversing and complimenting people on their play if they don’t do any of the above. You did not qualify.

The problem isn’t the first week of matchups. The problem will be a few weeks down the line when higher ranked servers have been bled of ratings points by being matched up with lower ranked servers. At that point it’s very possible for really ugly matches to occur.

Just checked my statements and I’ve spent $1315 since release on gems. I wish my golf habit was that cheap.

Creepy Silent.9801:

Looks like your fair weather WvW’ers are finally coming out. It’s pretty evident too, on reset night you guys had seemingly very low numbers, and now we are outmanned in almost every situation.

Yeah we were outmanned at reset last week (just like the 6-8 weeks prior) and through most of primetime. Same thing on Saturday. Lately I’ve seen a few more people out there each night but DR can still field a sizable force (I’m generally in EB). We had a few fights where our main force was outnumbered last night around Pangloss.

I think DR has the ability to field competitive numbers in primetime. There are some good fights to be had out there. None of us are going anywhere for awhile so the scoreboard literally doesn’t mean anything. I’m not going to tell DR and IoJ that we know how they feel because we’ve been hearing that kitten for months from the other servers who were zerging the hell out of us at the time. No one wants to hear that. Just get your guys together and continue to fight and we’ll all have fun. I’m fairly certain none of us among these three servers has any illusions of advancing in the tiers. We’ve got all we need right here.

As for the point Gravy is making, I agree. Where the hell were you guys the last few weeks? A few weeks back there were plenty of times we couldn’t even get a breakout event going in EB because we didn’t have 10 people in the zone. As recently as two weeks ago we were being camped in every WvW zone, including our own. Actually getting to use the portal in our keep in EB is a luxury we’re simply not accustomed to. It’s really odd…
