Guild Wars 2

[XOXO] Trolling 101 still going strong, I see. And I do apologise to whatshisface when he said we we’re obviously playing for second. it’s all in the score. You called it, buddy.

I’ll have to see if I can schedule some time to join one of our Militia zergs to zerg right over your superior skill group. Don’t forget to remind your guildies over voip how leet you are whilst hammering #4 in downstate.

Yak’s Bend has faced plenty of Servers with actual skill groups. [XOXO] isn’t one of them. Unless you count forumwarrioring.

Wow, this thread got really annoying really fast

Yesterdays jazzy jazz goin down. I love watching the other servers ketten-talk but fail to back it up. Ignore the badness in this vid.. I forgot how to theef obviously

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUJGncVR-jo

Yea…. because everyone is very egocentric and we have this “weird” need & urge to record ourselves to show it off lol

Wow Danny must be like the first person to ever record himself playing a video game.. How very “egocentric” of you Danny, you must be a horrible person.

yup the thin line between sharing and showing off

Fun video of [One] trolling around, starring our morning crew.

You NSP guys are persistent as all hell!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=JoVA0UL385Y

Now this is what I acknowledge as “recording for fun” lol, man now that I think of… I wish I had recorded yesterday’s NSP fail, 25 NSP against 10 of us in a T2 tower and they all died at the gate haha it was epic

Now you should learn something and actually include your failures but I guess you gotta eat, ego ego ego ego nomnomnom

Ill bite ole Arty boy,

Watching some of both videos. Dannys video shows reaction and skill vers other players. you have to think as you fight and know what your fighting or you fail.

Chris’s video shows nothing more then stacking up and mashing Aoe’s inside of mobs of red. Not caring what the situation is or reacting to nothing, just MASH MASH MASH.

Im not even sure i understand how people play this way. I like to read and react to people trying to use different builds and strategy’s in a smaller scale setting.

Step away from your zerg, you will learn your class and be a better player for it.

that is all , ty.

Haha because I zerg a lot buddy… you seem to know me very well! I think you missed where I said 10v25 thought…. or maybe just ignored it for convenience? oh well who knows…. but yeah the thing is that I have enoyed killing most of xoxos in wvw seems like you guys can only hold in bunker groups, so please don’t come here and act like you’re really skilled xD that is just hilarious when it comes to 1v1 you are awfully bad you are way to dependable of your bunkers builds….. but hey! in the end you guys manage to cap camps…. attaboy!

These types of builds are certainly becoming a thing. Expect Hunter and Excalibur to make a thread complaining about them soon.

When their powers combine….

…they form…CAAAAAAPTAAAAAAAAIIIN SADFACE!

redslion.9675:

Well, warrior moving while using 100blades would look stupid. A guy running around chopping the air.

Or it would look hilarious.

However, skull crack builds with Greatsword use Skull Crack AT MOST once every 10 seconds, not every 7.something.

Let’s put you used Skull Crack and switched to GS. Now you have to wait 5 seconds to switch again to mace. Then you have to wait another 5 seconds so that you can switch to GS again once you stunned the target.

Since you are not fighting against a testing golem, I think you’ll use Skull Crack at most once every 15 seconds. I think we will probably barely feel slight cd increases.

However, it saddens me that no one is talking about new builds on the forums. Only stun ones. Aren’t there new idea. And no, I don’t think it’s all warriors fault. I think this is also complainers’ fault, for polarizing the discussion.

Video editing is fun. This game is fun. Killing people is fun. Being outnumbered is fun. Sorry i like to play the game and show various scenarios that i get involved in. Oh wait im not sorry at all, you are just mad.

OMG using seige to defend and zergs to take other towers is soooooooooooooooooo stupid in WvW.

pfft Noobs…4 man kitten like REAL players.

I really wish LR would stop doing damage and start removing snares like similar skills in this game.

Such a familiar site this week. do you guys ever get tired of zergs n siege + hiding in the towers ?

In other words, we play WvW?

Ok , just checking , so its the SbI norm to hide in a tower when facing 4 people.
Thank you for letting me know that is “your style wvw”.

I sit spam you more now, ty.

XOXO must be the type of guild that hunts down uplevels in packs of 4, then puts youtube videos up to show 1337 sauce they are? Keep on keeping on gentlemen.

Varconi.1804:

All I see from Yaks and SBI is horrible players in zergs if there are any players from those servers who think they are good would love to get some duels in as trolling 30 man baddie zergs is only so fun. Feel free to send me a tell if your up for some 1v1s

all I see from nsp is gank squads of thieves, think they are good as well…

They need to just make these kittening traits for ALL families instead of just a handful IE: Rending Training makes all your pets have a 50% chance to bleed each hit, so we can actually get some variety in here, that and it’d make some pets (like ursine and porcine and moas) useful if they actually get access to these. I mean seriously, an AoE cripple on a moas fury buff would be INCREDIBLE

I amazed this hasn’t been stated yet in this manner.

Steath is overpowered AND cheap

Reason being?

There is no counter for stealth

You heard it, the thief can land all the damage and get hit all they want but they won’t appear. There are no anti stealth fields, you can’t get lucky and hit them with some kind of attack and reveal them. Stealth to me was bearable back when the target didn’t drop when they went invis. That to me was a good period….it was kind of like a stealth counter. You knew you still had them targeted so you could react accordingly..

Stealth will not be overpowered AND cheap when there is a legitimate counter mechanic introduced to this game. Until then every profession that can abuse stealth has a hug leg up on the rest of us

There is no counter for stealth? Really? So when your opponent stealths, you just sit there with your thumb up your kitten and give up? Do you know how many classes and how many weapons have cleave attacks? How common AoE is? That you can apply conditions on someone before they stealth, causing them to bleed out. Or have you noticed that when a person stealths, they don’t magically teleport 5000 yards away? Just literally attack in the direction the enemy stealths. Did you know that many stealth skills have a cast time anyways (Mesmer Elite: 1 3/4 seconds cast time. There’s cast time on a theif’s heal.).

Did you know that stealth lasts on average for about 3-5 seconds and that if you can’t do anything else because your mind has literally blown up from amazement, you can easily pop protection, put up invulnerability, dodge, make distance from where the enemy stealthed, put up retaliation, put up aegis, or do literally anything that ups your defense? Because this game is dynamic and the combat in this game is dynamic so if you expect to just sit in offensive mode and not have to actually THINK, then you’re going to have a bad time and make yourself look stupid. So excuse me and all of the rest of us that don’t want GW2 to be about mindless guardians and warriors spinning around with greatswords (no offense intended.) and would actually enjoy interesting mechanics.

So if its a class you play, its counterable? However if its something like what we have, which we have hard counters like “Blind, Poison, Aegis, Weakness” its not counterable?

You are a hypocrite!

Go back to the thief and elementalist forums please

Norn fisherman: So, you use a pole!

Asura fisherman: yes, how did you do it?

Norn: Dove underwater and beat the fish into submission. Sometimes I screamed at them until they died.

Asura: I almost, wish I’d seen it.

I love the /cheer animation. Norns don’t cheer, they get cheered at.

When she gets a skill point she says ‘I get it now’, in a little bit of a more humble way than usual. It’s cute to show that you’re still meant to be a young norn just out of the hunt.

I also love the part where my norn NEVER says ‘I could outrun a centar’, which I find immensely annoying XD

Nnekk.5806:

Truth is, SBI is ONLY good when they outnumber the opposition 3-1 or better….and use AC zoom hacks.

/sigh

Funny…we seemed to handle ourselves quite well last night when we were outnumbered by both YB and NSP on our own BL. Yes, we did have superior numbers today when we turned most of YB’s BL green…but for SBI that’s a 1-in-100 occurrence. Then again, I find it odd that someone on a server that has only faced us once in the past 5 months would be able to determine how good we are only 24hrs into the match.

And make all the baseless accusations about zoom-hacks all you want, but our server has been working for several weeks on effective siege placement. Apparently time well spent!

“Learn?” Players are too busy whining about how mechanics – which have been the same since the start of the game – are OP to learn.

>S/D thief spamming FS
>sitting into AoEs
>almost never using stolen item
>trying circling in a game with autofacing
>demanding to kill a tank-spec warrior on a zerk build
>wasting dodges randomly

I think I nailed it?

looked at your post history, 50% of the posts include the word “downs” lol. genuine teenager troll, also clueless.

I am your messiah. Praise me.

All the kittening kids are complaining about 1 extra second on a mace. Nothing else has changed.

Enough of the kittened kittening threads.

You shouldnt be able to wtf facebash your face on the keyboard and beat a heavy tank. GG L2kitteningplay

Well remember “balance” to most non-warriors I’ve seen means “warrior is a free kill”.

I think we’ve let Hunter troll us enough, guys.

I vote we either stop replying to this thread so it sinks and dies, or we horribly derail it with the traditional “Cake vs Pie”

I’ve fought quite a few warriors running this build, and I’ve run it myself a few times. I find the exchange to be fun on both sides. It’s refreshing, and I need to play around my opponent and predict properly, otherwise I’ll be dead.

Now, the typical warrior will run the defensive setup with PVT, or Soldier amulet, so pretty much all of their damage is going to be in their stuns. When the enemy isn’t stunned, this spec does laughable damage. Even with a full combo, you aren’t likely to be oneshotting someone.

What I figure is the main frustration isn’t even the ideal “stun on 8 second CD” argument, it’s the fact that this build has so much inherent regen built in. That on top of a few man-mode skills of your choice to deny the enemy their cc, damage, or conditions, makes you a really scary class to fight for a short amount of time. This can be pretty frustrating, and while I find it fun to fight these guys, I don’t particularly care for the fact that they can pretty easily shrug off the damage I put on them unless I’m running full burst or full conditions.

However, in a cancerous metagame of condition spam and P/D permastealth thieves, I’m inclined to give this build a pass due to the fact that it actually requires thought and game knowledge. If you don’t manage your berserker stance or signet of stamina properly, you’ll still be easily killable, even in a 1v1. Compare to a Necromancer fear/burn build or a Spirit Ranger build, specs which are essentially brainless to play and this is designed to counter. Don’t forget that this build is almost solely designed for 1v1 combat. On top of that, it’s designed to counter the tanky condi meta which is the majority of builds being run in SPvP right now. If it’s excelling in those categories, it’s working as intended.

tl;dr if you nerf this nerf P/D thieves and tanky condi.

Kinda funny because when I am fighting people in wvw, even bads, they still manage to drop me at 50% health or so depending on the class, and I still have to try. Even on my thief or guard I still have to pay attention because not everyone is as bad as they appear.

This guy, he might as well stand there and take it for a good 2 min before he is at 50% life. If you think this is fine, you are delusional.

Allyour comments so far consists of either “he is fighting nubs” or “he is fighting uplvled”
The former MAY be true but still does not justify the fact the warrior takes no dmg the entire time and is able to escape from 4 people while never dropping below 50% health.
The later comment is downright false because he was fighting lvl 80s PLUS upleveled people at the same time. heck the first guy he fights is an 80 necro.

This post is so good when it hits the lips. People you decide are “bads” get you to 50% health and you still have to try. The first guy he fights “is an 80 necro”, except that’s about all you can say about the s-keying bad-spam that was that first fight.

I’ve escaped from a zerg of 10 people before. There’s absolutely no reason those 4 shouldn’t have been able to catch a M+Sh/Hammer warrior. None. Hell, one of the Warriors had a Sword MH, and he couldn’t catch him.

Just…. mmmmnumnumnumnumnum.

This is called game balance bro, unless someone is a lvl 2 uplvled nub there is no way you can get out of a fight unscathed. Look at the video again, notice the insane regen on the warrior. You can’t tell me its balanced

Kinda like the insane heals/boons on guardians and eles? Or the insane every 8 second teleportation on a mesmer?

How about the insane perma/repeated stealth thieves and being able to do everything from stealth while staying stealthed?

Unlimited teleports/stun breakers for thiev’es shadow step on a weapon skill with zero cool down?

Mist form stomps? Aegis stomps? Shadowstep stomps? Stealth stomps and reviving?

Yea..how bad can you be to lose to the worst pvp class in the game..I know..very bad..

Correct me if I’m wrong but that GS/Maceshield combo looks suspiciously like Longbow, Sword and Warhorn…

The fact that you think a bow should shoot farther than a gun says something.

I admit, I am tempted^^ Not played ranger outside of condition builds for a long time now because I find DD kinda meh in general, but actually this does look rather entertaining.

I’ll sleep on it and see if it passes :P
