Guild Wars 2

Sovereign.1093:

I wonder if the new setup is to hard for some gamers here. ^.^

No offense. I know you’re trying to stay positive, but I’ll check back with you on that one when we are facing BG/sor or JQ and they have all the wxp buffs, pvt gear AND all three orbs.

There’s something to be said for empathy too. I don’t think you are appreciating the full effect because of our current matchup. Implying a lack of skill is impolite and not accurate.

Champion Rabbit Trap

New WvW trap. Summons a relatively harmless looking bunny that frolics around before savagely leaping at a nearby foe, instantly downing them. Does not drop loot to discourage kill trading. Only downs foes but does not finish them. Hops around a circle for a good bit, attacking and downing enemies until killed. Has no effect on golems.

Do it, you know you want to.

It helps to understand how stealth and revealed works.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Stealth
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Revealed

i have look on the Revealed part but then i see a thife he can go stealth just 1 sec after he is revealed. so u cant see him and he can keep it up because the thife got no cooldown. that why i say some thife exploit that u cant see them.

“Revealed is an effect applied when stealth is broken, for example by attacking or exiting the Shadow Refuge circle prematurely”

If they don’t attack or leave SR early they don’t get the revealed debuff. It’s not an exploit.

ResJudicator.7916:

Easy to stop the perma-stealthing if you know how it’s done. Just stand next to the black powder field (not in it or you get blinded). The thief stacks stealth by heartseeking through the black powder field over and over and over. If you’re anywhere near the black powder field, the heartseeker will hit you and the thief will get a 3s revealed debuff.

Stealth overall is OP, but this specific problem is a l2p issue.

That works far more often than it should tbh. Why this works is because the first and only first HS through the BP can land and you will still gain stealth (because stealth is given at the end of the leap finisher). After that first one it’s an attack made from stealth and they gain the revealed debuff.

Also Mr Ranger… check the patch preview…

“Ranger
Sick ‘Em will now apply ‘Revealed” to enemies they target. We want to introduce some counter play to Stealth (players have asked for that for a while), so we thought a pet “catching your scent” might be a cool way to insinuate some anti-stealth into the game. "

The BFG.4160:

I’ve seen some people bringing up 1v1’s. I have an interesting story to tell. Outside of outer SW SMC tonight, I solo’d some TC thief that was uh…. “guarding” the wall that was about to drop from trebs I think. Get this- it was on a staff ele. I didn’t recognize him as being in a wvw guild, and good god you better be happy cause he was pretty embarrassing. WHEN YOU’RE LOSING JUST STEALTH AND RUN AWAY BRO. I WAS A STAFF ELE

I wasn’t this thief(havent really played my thief other than for farming lately) but I personally dont bother running if I try to snipe someone from stealth and they beat me up. They did well and deserve the bag I brought them. A thief running away in stealth lost a fight just as much as one who died. Now if someone comes to help them I’ll disappear unless I think I can take both.

I agree with Dr Acula. At VII we aren’t overly concerned about “orbageddon”. We will continue to GvG and the thought of an opponent with buffs from all zones sounds like an awesome challenge.

Solution for everything:

Take all the WvW guilds and GvG guilds and spread them out across about 6 EU servers. You will always have people to play, you will be able to GvG and you’ll have fun.

Just don’t bring that silly ppt game with you.

Forest Gump also was a Warrior.

if we could all do our best to not get Ogro’s thread locked, that would be great

Generally speaking the GvG would happen on server C borderland (closest spawn), so it’s not a problem.

Obscure One.4357:

This is exactly the behavior that has enabled company after company to push abusive business models on consumers without concern to its repercussions.

How exactly is is abusive? You paid $70 — or basically $6 a month (game has been out a year now almost), where traditional MMOs charge $15 a month recurring sub PLUS you have to buy their expansions on top of that sub that are typically released every nine months — when Anet has given us ongoing content (maybe not the kind you want, but it’s certainly engaged other players) for free essentially? I think after a year of game play you got your money’s worth. Most of us have. It’s ok to be frustrated, but you’re being a little over-dramatic … see below.

Obscure One.4357:

I buy a steak dinner, I expect it like I ordered it, and how they said they were going to prepare it for me. When I get it and its cold, overcooked, and terribly seasoned I’m polite the first time. They bring back that same steak, but this time they heated it back up, I’m not going to be polite. I’m going to complain. This isn’t baseball. You don’t get three strikes.

Yes but in this instance you’ve already eaten half the steak and decide to send it back expecting to get a brand new steak for no money.

I get the frustration. But the drama is a little over the top. It’s a video game. Go outside and get some fresh air.

why only deso write here? :/ its realy one way

Chris.3290:

I see that #3 is facing #16 in EU.

EU-Ranks #1 – #10 can play against each other in EU-prime-time, ofc #1 wins vs #10, but only due to coverage, not for being better in the field, when both are there.

Likely EU has a better player spread than NA, due to the national servers, that balance WTJ.

That really bad thing on the old system was: Once you are in an imbalanced match, you are stuck in this imbalance. The poor Kodash got hit by Elona for 13 weeks in a row, till the broken old system finally let us go up to win T1 instead of dominate T2. When you loose against always the same opponents week for week, without any hope for a change, you face the real disaster the old system was.

Now you have a chance for more diversity
- once a week where you are outnumbered and face the challenge of guerrilla-play
- once a tight match, where every point counts (rare now, but rare in the old system as well)
- once a week, where you are forced to dominate by the rating system.

More variance in game play and more diversity in challenges. I like it more.

Still I think the likelihood of extreme dice-rolls should be reduced!
ANet should replace the uniform-dice by a Gaussian- or normal-dice.

I wonder why the OP left Blackgate, since it appears they are quite unhappy on TC. Better still, they should consider a move to JQ. None of the guilds support GvG apparently.

Dear ANet.

Guys, I’m getting SOOOOO many loot bags! lolumad?!

Mag bought me a new armor set.

Thank you guys!

When we fought JQQ I looted a new set of gear off all the bags that dropped..

I don’t remember fighting Dragonbrand… They were like the chupacabra… just this mythical entity hiding out in the mists…

That was cold jab, i think my feelings are actually hurt that you called me a chupacabra

Lol. Well, you could always snuggle up to Saiyr, he’s giving out lots of love today

Maybe he isnt the one im eyeing ^.^ spread the JQ love

That sounds vaguely like something you’d need penicillin for….

You know you’ve played to much WvW when forgot to start when the lights turned green. Still waiting for the cap….

This post just remembers me of this video someone posted on the Ranger forums a fellow days ago.

For old friends and enemies and people yet to meet!

Screenager I want to do ^^ to you goes for Vanz and co too!

Inject some fun into your summer Not sure we have a K*** big enough for abbadons community events but we’ll give it a go… miss you hug hug kiss kiss.

o/ Piken

Can vouch for Piken being an excellent server. Don’t worry about EU primetime slacking… been on the receiving end of that… it hurts alot. Lets just say, They don’t even use Butter.

But yea, last I knew was Piken was a very guild based server with a friendly community! (I played there too for a bit and they were very accepting )

Jayne.9251:

I’ll just leave this here:

That’s a bit of a deceitful picture, what with the Crazed Veteran Karka behind the camera.

I have played nights on Piken since the start and can say in my opinion we have one of the better night crews going. We are always outmanned but we make sure we use tactics to overcome the odds. Usually the servers we face will outnumber us 4v1, depending on the server it can be much more(for example this week we average around 15 whereas Deso average around 80). The Piken night crew has learnt how to slow the zergs progress and even do some major ninja capping, by superior communication and scouting.

Farewell, PYRO. It’s been great running with you and I’ll miss you, as I’m sure most of Maguuma will as well. When Paralda told me you were transferring, I admit I was a bit shocked, but I’m sure you’ll find some good fights there.

gb

If true I won’t be surprised. I think PYRO was on the edge of moving since weeks ago.

Oh, CHIPS. You always know how to embarrass yourself by commenting on matters that you are clueless about.

Hickeroar.9734:

Yeah, the way a frontline works, it has to have a lot of micromanagement. You really have to be a tight ball of CC and Pain, and you need a “point” (commander) to follow for that role. If you get spread out, you’re worthless, and can be picked off.

Sure, if you want to play like you. If you want to play like us? Kitten all that.

You guys have a very unique playstyle. It’s very effective, and the standard frontline tactics, we have discovered, just don’t apply against it. Props.

I wish we had another couple weeks against [DERP] and [VR] to figure out the best way to counter it short of either copying it, or having a two-pronged attack. (Two pronged/pincer seems to be the only way to reliably counter it.)

Yes, we are pretty unique since we have a back-/mid-line commander, but that doesn’t meant that it can’t/shouldn’t be replicated. I don’t think everything RG does should be put into a book of law, partly because most of us “lower tier” (lol) guilds just don’t have the same level of coordination/skill.

Honestly, I think playing with more imagination is the best counter. No offense, but the PTV-hammer-train-running-in-a-line meta is an overly simple strategy. I don’t know if that’s what you perceive yourselves as doing, but it’s what we see. People need to experiment with more things and not arbitrarily limit themselves. The fact that many guilds have blanket restrictions on glass makes us/me very sad. It’s definitely not for every individual, but a player that plays glass well will contribute a lot to a fight.

Folk.2093:

Not sure which is worse, TC zerg or DB zerg. Hmmmm..

I vote for TC zerg, because after they wipe your 10 men with their 50+ they come on the forums and post that you should see it as an opportunity to learn superior tactics from them.

So FG and Blak arguing over who has the biggest or did I miss something
