Guild Wars 2

To the Yak’s Bend Defender that dropped this in their Borderlands around 5:00pm PST, whoever you are, well, I love you. <3

And yes, I will use this to play the Trading Post and make tons of money to buy TC endless siege gear. I am sure the whole of TC should thank you. (thanks Anet, thanks RNG!)

PS: Amazing fights between Bay, Garrison, in the ruins, back in supply camps and at Greenwater. Yaks, your defensive Trebs are legendary and I will be taking note for the future so thank you for that too!

EFWinters.5421:

Lots of testing™ needs to be done before they can push out updates.

hahaha

ahhhh hahah ahhhh hah.

It is hard to get excited for “progression.”

I am just sitting here for a few more weeks, if Anet cannot respond soon I am taking my $60 back and exiting the MMO genre until Titan comes out.

That’s it. Its been 48 hours since this news has really sunk in for me.

I purchased the game in August. #1 August #2 Sept #3 October #4 November #5 December. Rumor is that NCsoft is honoring refunds up to six months. So Dec is the 5th month and a good time to demand a refund.

I imagine most of your [Arena Net] early adopters, the same people posting here, purchased around August.

You [Arena Net] have until Dec 28th to fix this. I will be demanding a refund in December if no action is taken by then. I know that NCsoft/Nexon are lending heavily on you in this situation. That much is clear by NCsoft’s stock value. But Arena Net, you as developers, need to come up with a solution or a large amount of your very own staff may be looking for new jobs.

The worst part of all this, for me, personally, is I was aiming to work at your studio someday. I no longer find your studio attractive professionally. That, my friends, is the biggest blow to me personally.

You guys are on notice. Grind Wars is NOT what we want.

SquirtyMagoo.8321:

Just want to say a quick thanks to everyone that talked to us yesterday. In my opinion this was a great way to go about it all. I think we have made some friends regardless of where we end up transferring.

Having said that by about 5 hours in we were pretty exhausted so sorry to Yak’s Bend and FA if we may have come across as a bit uninterested. That’s definitely not true and we really enjoyed learning about your servers.

So this was all a diabolical Information Grab?!

Hum, actually not a bad idea… Tarnished Coast University [TCU] is transferring servers, um, whisper me your server’s strengths and weaknesses please and we will transfer to the most suitable server~

;)

This thread really has been a hoot to read. Good luck in your quest to find a real home [RE].

Give large groups of players a speed de-buff. Zergs as they are right now are one of the fastest groups in the game. They should be exactly the opposite!

Want to run in a huge herd? You’re going to be slowed down. The AOE that checks for a “zerg” for each team of players could be done every 15 seconds and apply a flat 30% speed de-buff that you cannot clear for 15s. Then the check happens again, still near the large group of friendly players? Speed de-buff. Call it “rough terrain” or something.

This would allow small parties of hostile players to out run a large zerg and harass effectively in open field. Also the ideal way to cross a map wouldn’t be in a huge herd. Even if the group was spamming speed buffs to counter the 30% debuff they would only be as fast as your average Mesmer.

Do this and give people better commander tag options = poof zerg problem solved.

Topher.1684:

What possible items could they add that were WvW related though? The only thing I can think of are superior style BPs, but if you are a casual WvWder (as in those ppl that just play on fridays) I doubt they would buy this…

Quick ideas:

1) Battle standards
2) Instruments of war (battle drums?)
3) Custom siege skins
4) Custom tower/keep skins
5) Custom tower/keep guards

etc etc

Omega Golem + Kite = The only thing I did in WvW this week.

:\

Nanyetah Elohi.4852:

Yes! This would promote a more efficient use of squads instead of everybody piling into one zerg.

Exactly this.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone for elevating the mood in this thread.

And to the fearful Dreadlord Silver, you’ve almost convinced me to peel myself away from the Borderlands and see what your crew is like in that Eternal Battleground of yours.

And to buy you a grog. You like grog, yes?

fishergrip.4082:

Orb buffs are gamebreakingly op when you have a matchup that is already this unbalanced. TC and ET will not see an orb this week.

The week will tell! Now I view this as a challenge.

Maybe if they didn’t take months to find the wisdom in listening to their players that ACTUALLY play the stupid game we wouldn’t be bitter.

T2 is fun. Not going to lie. I really do miss the ninja stuff from T3-T5 though.

DB has done the impossible, they have helped FA and TC to begrudgingly get along with each other on the forums… I am floored by this!

I just wanted an excuse to take quaggan pics.

I had fun today. Here is a picture of the Yak parade before some nameless lamers ruined our celebration.

http://i.imgur.com/mUH8C.jpg

Hahaha someone being nasty on the internet.

I have fun I play when I can.

Mews of Despair.3704:

Its hard to progress in a game when I feel like I am no longer the target audience.

Well put!

selan.8354:

this whole patch is an absolute nightmare for wvw!

Anet doesn’t care and wants WvW to die so they can reduce server costs.

Loot bags, propaganda, poor defenseless server, transfers, gvg, cookies, 2v1 etc etc.

How can anyone but the trolls read this cr …. OHhhhhhh. That’s why late week match threads stink!

Well then, here is to the new week’s thread…

GreatSword – Sword/Dagger. Evade your way through zerg clashes and leap out of unfavorable combats.

I guess it is funny that a ranged build isn’t very good on a ranger. Honestly, you would get a better response in the class specific forums.

anet to 2nd class citazens: get kittened, we don’t care about you.

Coral from TC here,

Tonight was, bar none, the best WvW experience I’ve personally had to date. I will post more words but great fights with BG.

I only managed to take one semi decent photo with all the fighting and fun but I think it really captures the night.

TC Pride!

Anet doesn’t care about WvW.

Say it with me now: “Anet doesn’t care about me and wants me to quit.”

They are both equally impressive. What a selection! What taste!

It is a way to remove massive amounts of gold from the economy.

Call it the Mystic Toilet if you’re confused about its job.

Consider me trolled. It was kind of funny. They also added some trees near the South East Tower!

Who doesn’t love trees?

It isn’t that no one cares, it is that we have no hope it will get better. Or at least not for a long time. /hibernate

Defense will come back once we have proper commander tags/grouping options.
/hibernate

If anyone needs me I’ll be aa ffff kk in DR.

Doomdesire.9365:

Only to lower tiers or T4 & below

If Anet really wanted stability they just have to pay people gold to move (but never more than the transfer cost.)

Feeling like giving Gates of Madness a try? Receive 30 gold with your successful move, delivered right to your in game mailbox!

People are suckers.

Gturtle.2864:

Sometime between this past December and now, TC sold it’s soul. Maybe Arena Net made them do it; but it’s done.

I blame the same but productive faction of TC’ers that want to see us go to T1. I don’t know why they do it, but they, like the rest of TC are unrelenting. This is the same ~type~ of person that wants us all on Mumble.

That said, we still have the same philosophy but basic human nature dictates that if there is an easy way to do something in a graceless manner that gets results we all do it.

I am not going to cry to the WvW thread (much) because it serves some people’s version of fun. The idea sticks with the crowd and we go along with it.

All that minor Q_Q aside, I am not scared that TC has sold its soul. It is still there, but it is much harder to see for our opponents because to you we are a faceless Zerg.

Now lets play nice!

Fun fact: Maurice LaMarche voice of GW1’s Vexx was also the voice of the Brain in the Animaniacs. Clearly all Asura channel the Brain. And if you’re channeling Pinky, well then you’re a bookah!

“The same thing we try to do every night Hydro, try to take over the TC Borderlands!”

To the Mags SFD force and others- :frogon:

There are Arrowcarts in all tiers. Nowhere is safe!

Yeah ruin WvW more. Go ahead. Terrible idea.

We cleared out FA BL Hills for our friends and family on far away servers. That and it was the only WP Dragonbrand had left.

DB BL’s Bay was a real deathtrap…
(forgive the ’ its late. nitenite)

Hey anet, look, a real feature that will save WvW. Wait, no, nevermind. Continue to ignore us. We will return the favor.

DevonCarver.5370:

Hope that is informative.

It was. Thank you.

You seriously need a bigger team. But I am sure you know that. Back to waiting, but at least I can pretend these issues are on some list somewhere and not buried under the proverbial “golem mastery” monthly wvw update.

If it was me I would focus 100% of my efforts to overhaul the guild/commander tag system. New methods in how we play = lots of content that you don’t have to make.

Yup we all still desperately want this…

On TC it does. You better believe we’re professional insomniacs.

I’m glad you kids got to sit at the grownup table together. Enjoy your Real Fites ™

I didn’t play last night after work. Thanks Arrowcart Wars. Without you I wouldn’t have opened Steam and picked up Tomb Raider for $25! Its a really fun game.

TC’s old guard isn’t coming back. At this point, its step up, adapt, or die. As soon as the ACs are fixed I will come back and play. There are some things that just are not worth it. In this case I am not interested in playing Treb VS ACs.

Sure it might be more “realistic” or whatever crazy reason Anet has come up with but some things are not worth adapting for. Treb VS AC feels like EVE Online so a big no thank you is in order.

Or it will result in a zerg running in circles around those rings.

Better tools to organize and maximize player-power projection would end the era of the Megazerg. Having three organised zergs (say 20, 20, and 60) would always be much more effective than one 100 person megazerg. The problem is Anet won’t give us the tools to do this effectively.

Give commanders color tags that can be toggled public and private and this would end. That Anet hasn’t done this already is pure nonsense.

Xerol.1578:

Are you all staring at the map 24/7 or have I just been playing the wrong way all this time by looking at the field in front of me.

Good Commanders spend a lot of time looking at the map, and rather consistently too I might add.

I posted a similar thread. It was moved to the suggestions recycling bin.

+1 we need colors and a public/private toggle for tags. DESPERATELY.

Hrist.8972:

Why would you play WvW for the items game? It’s not designed for that.

Before siege blueprints could be sold on the trading post, as a commander, I had to buy gems to fun siege/repairs/upgrades. The WvW income was simply too little to keep up with these demands.

Also money = PVP options. For a WvW player, it was very hard to afford new sets of armor and weapons before the badge vendor was implemented.

John Widdin.9618:

Fully upgrading a tower can take a good chunk of what I make in a day.

Well there is your problem. Wooden towers and more zerging makes for more WvW progression points! Get out that and get zerging!

(The culling is the only good thing about this patch).

You know who else cares about who started a pointless argument? That’s right! Children!

And do you know what adults say when their kids start pointing fingers?

“It doesn’t matter, apologize and play nice!”

TC trolls. FA trolls. KN sometimes trolls too. It doesn’t matter too much other than it being pointless. There is no “fault” here other than the personal fault of the people contributing to the sillyness that the past page or so has been.

If you’re going to troll, at least troll in an interesting manner.

Draygo.9473:

ACs are being addressed in the next patch which is going through its testing phases right now.

Read Devon’s second post.

Ah cool! Its a big thread. I don’t care if ACs are buffed but as they are buffed right now it will not do! That kitten is bananas.

If anything, Players auto attacking doors along with Golems need their effective damage reduced vs gates. There are plenty of ways to clear rams off of a gate even with the old ACs. If people want to OMGmega zerg a gate down, make it take 2-3 times as long without siege. That would give defenders plenty of time to punish them for their stupidity.

Nope. Anet gives no kittens about WvW. Play sPvP, buy tickets! yay esports lolollll

Note: Wildstar is owned by NCsoft. Your gem store purchases in this game helped fund features in that game.

Do not be fooled by NCsoft/Nexon’s smash and grab development and post launch support tactics. If you think Wildstar will be different post launch you’re in for a rude awakening.

Numbers are up! Numbers are up1 numbersareupnumbsrup #s up! askjlasdkljasd

I would not propose an unlimited Treb autofire, but more of a limited autofire. So you set a treb to say 70% and press “5” to autofire the next 3 shots. This way players are not totally keyboard bound holding down “2” all the time. It allows the treb’ing player to give better info or at the very least chat with their guild.

Right now trebbing is like this “2………………………………………….” so what I was “2……………………………………….” thinking, was that you and “2………………………………….” Tom need to “2………………………………..”

Highly annoying.
