when you have a target selected, it will do the leap at the target. you never want to use 4 with something selected.
so you’re saying you dont want to pvp to get badges of honor.
the game isn’t designed to work like that, play another game if you dont like it.
please for the love of god fix this. this is more game breaking any any of the achievement or visual bugs. it makes the game unplayable the way it’s designed for many classes and builds.
atleast acknowledge there is a problem
just gave myself 45 seconds of protection and 40s of regen, 30s of aegis.
then gave it to my whole party.
who needs guardians
im pretty sure 90% of sbi wants to be in silver league, afterall, half of their current players bandwagoned in hopes of ranking top silver for temporary finishers in league
you’re basically fighting 1v1’s and eotm kittens, your build is sub optimal, since it only works in 1v1’s against power builds or vs eotm trash. the fact that you’re using signet of fury speaks volumes.
sure you can make a compilation video and showcase big numbers, but it’s not a sustainable roaming build. no mobility, no condi cleanse. anyone with a brain will out kite you.
edit: alot of nuthugging in this thread, compilation videos will always look impressive by nature.
megaserver OS would be great if you reduced the max number of people to be something like 40 per server before it created a new instance. that way you can always get an empty one if there were already a guild gvging in it.
lol at all the people hating the TC “queue zergs”. When we faced SoR our zergs look like roaming parties.
not possible by the definition of a queue zerg
i’d just take the gold, then buy legendary
they came from… behind
thats like the smallest resolution ive ever seen
real mensmers use berserker.
just be better at timing dodge/invuln skills
gg mag is kittenty zerg server now, 1hr queues in all maps
game is ruined
I don’t understand… How do you expect to kill people like this? Or is it just a troll build?
you go condition build with staff+scepter/torch
you can go full rabid gear and be tanky as if you’re in pvt with the 100% protection/regen uptime. or even full rampagers if youre good
Mag commanders hard at work during boot camp
i like how there are commanders on the map in that picture
it says you have to claim the tickets the following week, not spend them.
Is he still running PvT necro?
Dont mean to interject, but with all due respect the day I levelled my necro it was suggested to me to run ful pvt by a very good Ark player. I believe they were experimenting with full ptv/celestial trinkets at the time.
So ya.
you always start in pvt, then work your way up to more damage stats depending on how much eyes you can use.
I dont usually call out guilds in the forums, but if I never see GH again it will be too soon. Zoomhacks and arrowcarts. How someone can find that fun I will never know. Why bother gearing/levelling toons if all you want to do is zoomhack with siege?
GH is open recruited pvx casual guild, of course they’re going to have cheaters and baddies, no need to generalize the whole guild
Bilbo, need I remind you that it only takes 3 players to CC somebody to death, and not everybody has a large amount of stun breakers or condi removal? Also I heard they’re nerfing condi duration reduction food/armor stats.
You’re saying that you shouldn’t lose a 3v1?
He’s saying it shouldn’t be automatic with no ways to counter it.
3 hammer warriors v 1 isn’t really 3v1 anymore, anyways. More like PVE.
you can counter it, use stability and run away. you’re not going to win a 1v3 against any class regardless if they have chain stun or immobs or not, assuming all are at the same skill level.
this whole thread is stupid. OP is falsely assigning blame to why he’s getting kitten on. you’re getting chain cc’ed not because chaining cc’s is inherently broken, but because either:
a. you are fighting out numbered
b. your group has a kitten comp that lacks stability and condi clears
c. you are a kitten player that can’t dodge hammer trains
in all cases, you have the power to affect change, don’t blame the system when it already gives you the tools you need.
people that think mesmer downed state is bad is either
1. new to game
2. bad at game
3. only PVE and bad at it.
you’re a little late, this has been the case since season 1.
so this one time i killed like a bunch of players at once by myself
i like how that one comender hit door
it is limited. do some testing before you post.
You have at least 3 guys on siege in the tower alone.
Oh, sorry, I forgot all of you were berserker. Siege is actually scary to you guys. What a bizarre world you live in.
Sorry, what gear set makes superior ballista, superior arrow cart, and cannon fire count as 0dps/0people?
3v3
That’s a neat picture. I have one for you as well!
#MaguumaDoesntZerg
lets see.. there is 7 aon, and 6 green dots on the map. unfortunately, 5 of them are hiding around or behind the tower manning siege.
fighting 6v7 is easily winnable if you’re not bad.
edit: sorry , theres 4 aon, one is a mesmer with a duelist out and 2 clones. rofl so you infact outnumbered mag, but still won’t go out of siege range to fight them. what a joke
so dont use it. it’s not like that puts you behind most other classes.
in pvp however, it’s one of the best #2 skills.
And GvG is “just happening” too.
The kills are not the intent or purpose, the are a by-product of the fights. Just as in WvW, the kills are not the intent or purpose, they are a by-product of the fights.
Good try though.
No it isn’t.
It is planned fights.If the kills are not the intent or purpose, why kill?
Why not just leave downed enemies?
because downed state is a thing. they can be ressed. i’d be in favor of no ressing downed in gvgs. downed = dead.
but because anet is a bunch of geniuses you have to finished downed to win the rally game.
thats it im transfering to emery bay
they should just get rid of badges as a reward from JP chests, instead double or triple the siege blueprint you get from it.
so people actually have to pvp to get badges, and you get an even bigger incentive to camp it.
endure/defy pain should have a clearer animation. stances are instant cast, so you can’t be interrupted anyways.
most non-glamour mesmers will have 3 stunbreaks as utilities.
they’re also the class with the most invulnerabilities.
what does the popup say when you try to slow or stun them?
what are you crying about? 1v1 down state the mesmer only loses to rangers.
downed state #2 is still the best second only to elementalist for interrupting stomps.
if you fail to rally as a mesmer in a fight, then you sure as hell wouldn’t rally as any other class, aside from ele mistforming into keeps.
you know whats NOT a way to fix it? asking to be matched against any other server.
asking for a different matchup will result in a similar or harder stomp.
There were 5 other build sites that we blew up, too. Not to mention the 3 sup ACs and the ballista on the wall.
I get that you were probably trolling us, but it’s honestly saddening that EBay is incapable of fighting both in the open field and without siege. One of the most boring matchups ever. Hopefully next week we get matched up with a server who fields more than one GvG guild and has some semblance of skill.
Texans to the Mexican Army – Battle of the Alamo: Stop it – stop it. No fair – you’re using cannons and guns and stuff. That’s no fair. If you can’t fight in the open field, naked and with only knives – you suck.
Germans to the Allies – WWII: Stop it – stop it. No fair – you’re using bombers and grenades and stuff. That’s no fair. If you can’t fight in the open field with only a stick in your right hand and butter knife in your left hand with no body armor and only in the daylight hours – you suck.
Silly – isn’t it?
Stop boohooing you elitest kittens. If it’s in the game – it’s fair.
Either figure out how to deal with it or hop back onto Super Mario Brothers – either way – stop the QQ. You’re making the server look bad.
how exactly did you come to the conclusion that he thinks its unfair? that not what he said.
Losing on purpose works best on the “Current System” than “Move Up/Down”.
Example Jade Quarry Lose on Purpose 7 times to get to tier 8 and stomp their way back to tier one. Overall they had 7=3rd places and 7=1st Places which don’t make any sense at all or any real benefit to speak of. Same with servers who move down 1 week only to climb back again the next. 1 win 1 lose don’t make them dominate for months.
The current system promotes that the same old server will dominate the other 2 for months and months and the match-up will never change for like an entire century like what’s happening now. The main reason why we had stomping “Evolutions” in the past was due to their “Free Transfers” in the first place. Soon things will all start to even out as Ehmry Bay and Yak’s Bend go to their rightful places. IoJ/Sbi/DR/SF are gonna be next to find out as minor guild/alliance transfers affected them on the last weeks of free transfers. Soon you’ll see more stagnation for long periods of time. Same servers will be painted green, blue and red. Same victors Same losers for months.
People will always complain but at least it won’t be about having the same old opponent stomping them for years after years even if the point gap is around 400k.
The 3rd placer will move down. If they try to lose on purpose it won’t make sense since the 1st place will be replaced by an upper tier 1 and 3rd place will be replace by a lower tier 1.If Anet intends to keep the losing teams playing it’s up to them how they will motivate them.
so you’re asking for different opponents who will stomp you harder week after week. i dont see how that solves anything.
it seems like the majority of proponents for this new system are those in T8. while i understand it’s a tough spot to be in, it doesn’t solve any problems.
so what if SF gets moved up? you have a stronger server taking its place. it doesn’t solve the core issue of the lack of wvw population on the 2 lowest ranking servers. it’s the same issue with the top 7 servers having dramatically highest population than the 8th-10th servers, giving you a constant imbalanced T3 matchup. however most people dont care about final scores, as long as the battles are competitive, most people enjoy it.

So now when you’re autoattacking, then hit another skill, the autoattack will ALWAYS complete first. You CANNOT use another weapon skill during the animation of an autoattack. for example, if you’re warrior greatsword autoattacking, and you press 3 to spin, you will only spin after the autoattack sequence finishes.
I’m pretty sure this wasn’t the case before, since I’m noticing it only recently.
multiple classes have been complaining about this. this kills people in intense fights. pls fix asap. this is by far the worst bug EVER.
So, since BO5 are dumb and Littlefeather is an “all or nothing” kind of guy, does that mean my duel against him makes me eternally better than him? Sweet. Same with Too Huge and Sabrina!
he must be pretty awful at this game if he lost to you and those 2
I’ve never really played spvp at all, but I was really close to next achievement chest, so I wanted to get the spvp daily done. I noticed there was some dueling servers, i say hey, why not.
I joined as warrior, dueled for a good 4 hours, had a good time, fought 30+ different players, beat or drawn every single one except for one person. and over half the people i beat started calling me bad and that i was using a bad build, after i had won. if my build is so terrible, then how did i win? i don’t understand. i mean i never once claimed i was good, or bragged about winning, and yet ..
i was using axe/shield + LB, with shout heals. is this some sort of taboo forbidden build to use in spvp? i mean i was able to easily beat condi necros, , spirit rangers, mm necros, condi warriors, phantasm, pu/condi mesmers, every single thief and guardian, i mean you name it. are they just mad that their fotm builds lost? i don’t understand.
why do people get so mad after they lose duels? i’m glad atleast one person was able to consistently destroy me.
is this usually how duels go in spvp? just trash talk after losing? if that’s the case i guess i better think again before goign back l0l

wait… so is that guy claiming that someone on mag made a char, named it similarly to a commander on FA, then proceeded to buy a commander icon for that char, to lure unsuspecting nubs into the JP to get geared? LOL
this is better than the guy from emery bay claiming large guilds on mag were committing credit card fraud to fill their queue’s with spies.
the entire point of the ELO rating system is so that eventually, with minimal population shifts, you’ll be fighting the same enemies every single week. and the only way to change your rating is to improve in strategy and skill, not population.
working as intended.
it’s obstructed, because los in gw2 is based off your feet basically. there is no clear los from your feet to the opponents feet, therefore it’s obstructed. jumping often lets you get past this.
as for the not attacking, it’s because it was summoned on a slope or some kind. the illusion AI can’t handle using skills on slopes, even though they can walk up and down them. this is most easily seen on sword #3 dash and berserker whirl, the illusion will attempt to leap/spin, but fail, then proceed to walk to the target.
this is not the same thing as skill lag that happens during huge wvw engagements. those happen server side.
this is not a issue related to latency at all. this is a game mechanics bug that was introduced recently. it’s only happening because the autoattack animation is taking priority over other skills. your autoattack used to, and should be interrupted if you try to execute another skill.
i just dont understand how not more people are throwing a fit over this, especially the spvp players where timing and skill responsiveness is so much more important.
the bad apples is what gives a server character
Well if they can hit you with AoEs, you can hit them back with the same skills.
No you can’t. They can throw all their aoe downwards, and you’ll have to run into it all before you can reach an angle where you can target them at all. The problem is that you can’t see them, but they can see you. You also have to platform up all these winding stairs while being hit by aoe, and while zergs charge down the stairs occasionally, before you can even get in range to hit them.
It is hard enough to make all the jumps while being hit and being on fire, and getting feared. How do you fight back as well, while the enemy has the high ground? There is literally no way you’ll get up that well if there is a mob there dedicated to keep you down there.
There needs to be an alternative way to attack these folks.
just because you don’t know how to attack them doesn’t mean they can’t be attacked.
it’s quite simple to break through people camping the dome.
Small group getting badges = playing pvp. If you have no interest in pvp and you’re a solo pve player – thats what the puzzle was originally added for. A way for pve folk to get badges without playing the part of the game they despise. Much like the pvp guys despise pve and as anet said – you can do/get everything in wvw that you can in pve so you can play the way you want!. If you despise pve and HAVE to do it? you hate it, its a waste of time and you’re not enjoying it. Same with a pve fan who’s trapped into doing pvp, he’s just eating up a space a proper pvp player could take, that team just got a player who doesn’t care about placing siege, taking keeps or giving info in map chat. He ‘s there to do the puzzle and get out as fast as possible. So next time your mate is stuck in que while you’re kitten off waiting for him – think “Thanks Anet! those 30 guys kittening about the campers in the jumping puzzle stopped my mate and half my kitten guild getting in, good freaking idea”
no, the puzzle wasn’t put in so pve players can get badges without having to pvp. arena net has never said this, and they never will.
you MUST pvp to get a legendary, period. its that way by design.
Which is doubly odd because the people you’re quoting, [VR], are one of the only guilds in NA that run things like pure backline kite glass or condi.
I watched one video and commented upon it, I’m sorry I don’t know [VR]’s avant-garde strategies.
they are ultimate hipsters
Um, we can #magswag very well on our own, tyvm.
In the past two weeks 5 PYRO members have gotten Legendaries. Yes. We PvE’d.
I’m ashamed.
time to quit gam
torch and decoy
you are why there are so many zerglings in wvw, people that make no effort to understand how the game works before crying about how unfair everything is.
while there are issues with wvw, what you laid out isn’t one of them, your issues are you and your server is bad.
