On a more series note, DH has gotta have the lamest forum presence in all of NA. They will get assigned to the Tin League once Forum Warrrioring Season opens up.

I honestly think even our classic forum warriors were carebears at heart. DH PvF forever 3rd.
I miss you jaxx. Hope you’re still wooing all those ladies somewhere.. out there…
And everyone else ran off to greener pastures**.

**keep spending gems until you find said green-est perfect pastures plz and thank u ~luf anet.

Also, this is the first time Darkhaven and Eredon Terrace have ever met. Hai. It’s been a pleasure. Too bad SF keeps butting into our growing relationship. I’ve been trying to get to know you better but I think there’s about 8,000,000 CoSA who would rather skip the pleasantries and get straight to the mowing over to get to our keep lords.

How many people does CoSA have in its wings, branches, cabinets, sub-committees, and special boards? Sapphire, SoCo, Shiny, Slaphappy, kittenty, and what other S’s I am forgetting about. kitten has to operate like the Federal Gubbamint with all those people. Honestly the only tag I worry about on SF is CoSA and its because I know a whole bureaucracy full is bound to show up any time with its inane rules, special sub-section 6.1.3.a of master record 32 FTW, and gum up the whole works to the point you forgot why you even went to that objective. Even with the full bureaucracy full of people I don’t think I have seen them run as a guild only group, its always with PUGS like foreign indignitaries, Japanese pop stars, former North Korean Leaders, and last time I swear I saw Fidel Castro up in that mega-blob. With that many people its hard to tell who is naughty or nice in amongst their ranks, its just seas of red. Ohhhh well I guess its great I don’t have a conscious I like taking advantage of that lumbering bureaucracy and make away with stacks and stacks of bags.

The thread started off with SE talking about how much fun they are having in this matchup being able to get into some zerg fights during primetime and hoping for bigger fights during the nighttime.

The trash talk started with [SE] saying how FSP are chicken and running from fights.

And then players started trash talking us and all we did was defend ourselves much like anyone else would do.

And then we started trash talking [SE] in our defense to what you had said which did deserve a response from us which you knew you would get.

We know we do alot of PvD during the night time but its not our fault you guys dont have the coverage to give us fights.

and we know you do alot of PvD, which ain’t a problem. We both live in different time zones and you have as much right to play your game (that you paid for) at the time that you prefer to play. However, what people don’t like is when you trash talk them and brag about what you have taken when you havn’t had the resistance that everyone else has when capping, (not your falut that you night cap, but is your fault that you brag about doing it)

We would much rather have fights but when we run away from a T3 Garrison that is well defended by an outnumbered group it isnt because we dont want the fights it because our time is more valuable to the server by taking other points and getting our PPT up rather than spending an hour trying to take a keep that we will be able to flip later.

We would also much rather you have the fights against our guilds but time zones restricts us from doing that, you judge our server on what you see at the end of the EU night, which is whats left over from the guild groups and pugs, I don’t think you have or will this week fight against a full EU WvW guild group, your time zone restricts it (again not your fault). The main difference between NA and EU is exactly what you have just stated. EU guilds prefer the fight, over the capture of structures, we have a clash of differences. Even if we are outnumbered 3v1 we know we are gonna get a good fight we go for it instead of leaving it until later when they go to sleep for an easy target. Regardless if we fail on getting the keep we lower their supplies and have awesome fights whilst doing so, and show the enemy we mean business.

We are doing our best to help out our server and get a matchup victory. If all we wanted to do was farm your towers we’d go to Frostgorge instead and make more money.

Your doing a great job for your server and nobody should say different on that, but what people don’t like and when people like me go into Troll mode is when we are being trash talked on the forum about people running away from you and how your chilling in a paper garri that you just PvD. PvD is frowned upon by many (in EU at least), due to the hard work they put in during their prime time to have it taken away with little resistance. Although it can’t be helped at the time you play, it can be helped at your gloating on the forums. I have said it before and will say it again the people that run from you was not a guild group and that time of night were probably outmanned maybe not in numbers alone but also organisation but they are there trying to work hard and stay on a few extra hours, not to be called chickens etc.

Yes an organised guild group should easily be able to take out twice the numbers of an unorganized group/zerg sometime 3 times the size but if the opposition knows this then why would want to be repeatably farmed at your amusement? We do this all the time take out pug zergs twice our numbers after a few times they reduce in numbers, which is a success for us but we don’t come on the forums asking them why they were running away and that they were chickens for doing so. Because this is expected of a guild group vs pug group or Organised vs Unorganized, thats the main reason why this thread has escalated this way.

As I have said I know it’s out of your hands on if the enemy can counter you during them hours, I still feel as though your not getting the fights/experience in itself on EU due to this, but I hope you do at some point just so u can say “EU is Awesome, it has a guild group around every corner” instead of saying “we are lucky to see someone on the map we are on and if we do we outnumber them slightly and its not a guild group”.

Anyway have a nice week and hope u find the fights your looking for as for me I off on holidays with the kids this week so good luck all have fun

Don’t worry about it, we know this doesn’t represent you as a whole. We can’t take it seriously, players who boast about camp spawning, PVD’ing when there are empty worlds just deserve derisive laughter in their general vicinity.

probably not much related to wvw, but adressed to FS camping JPs: i hope you loved that scorpion wire, no more sitting on edges and killing ppl in chamber room :>

to FS warrior i killed in EB JP, i am sorry, i thought you were with those camper…

you know, you love it!

Difference is we do it when there is actually people playing

If you think we are some PvE guild that has never taken a T3 keep with people inside you are surely wrong as a matter of fact one of my favorite things to do is camp people at the waypoint as they spawn in trying to be a hero and save their keep. As said before we rally towards the end of EU prime and there are still pretty large groups going which I have had fun fighting but the fights do come to an end. If you think we have never been on the other side of a server PvDing us again you are wrong hell we would have just about paid for coverage like us in NA. You will see no chest thumping from me but I do hope to the good fights in the time we play when your server is still awake keep on coming.

As an American, I apologize for these people. We’re not all this stupid, I promise.

You guys are being waaaay too nice to each other.

Bronze league is supposed to be the place for outcasts and outlaws, exiles and rejects, and players otherwise too stubborn to join the ranks of the 1-spamming masses in seeking silly reward chests. By nature, we’re filled with enough kitten and vinegar necessary to survive on wasteland servers, and I expect nothing short of glorious spite and vitriol in every matchup going forward.

To start, here’s some video of how fan-favorite Henge of Denravi prepares for a tough opponent.

Let the games begin!

Welcome to Silver/Junior Varsity league SBI!!

I’m sorry to hear that, despite your massive coverage advantage over similarly-tiered servers and blatant cheating/point inflation scheme with SoR you weren’t able to take advantage of your best-case-scenario match up against SoR and obtain a Gold League/Varsity position.

However, I’d like to congratulate you on the wonderful consolation prizes you have won with your JV placement!

1) A massive influx of even more bandwagoners and fairweathers!

2) Endless hours of 24/7 PvD fun!

3) Loss of those rare and pesky “skilled” SBI players who will be transferring to a server that offers greater competition!

4) A finisher!!!!

Good luck in your Silver/JV endeavors SBI, and I hope you can continue to be a shining example of skillful and fair play for the rest of the GW2 community!

Collaborative Development

Posted by: Moshari.8570

Moshari.8570

I don’t post much, but I read a LOT. One thing that I really wish Dev’s would always keep in mind with ANY new content is the one thing that makes this game different from every other MMO I have played: Scalable content.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep in mind with whatever you come out with that not every server is one of the higher population servers. Tequatl is only the most recent example…

The one thing I fear with this new ‘collaboration’ is that once again, the servers with the most people will get great content, while those of us on low population servers will just have one more area that we cannot go to anymore (lost shores made it so we cannot go to southsun anymore since all the areas are over-run with Karka’s and we never have enough people in the area to clear them.)

Here is just some examples from the last week on a low-pop server: I was part of a Shatterer fight that failed, we ran out of time. Tequatl has never been defeated on my server….I have literally tried popping into every single map on the server shouting for people to come to tequatl to try a major attempt at it…only to still not have a full 150 people for the event. Southsun is a ghost land (too many Karka for small groups to even attempt). I don’t think we have taken the temple of Balthazar since the changes to that…I have done numerous Scarlet events lately where we don’t even get past the first stage because we dont have enough people. I couldn’t find enough people in Orr last night to do temple clearing….and that was during prime time….We took Lyssa, Melandru, and Dwayna with only about 8 people, but we had no hope at Grenth, or Balthazar, or any of the others. The biggest guilds (that haven’t already transferred servers) cant seem to get more than 30-40 people on at a single point in time…for even guild events…I could go on.

Lately, this has become the trend, make content that requires hundreds of people to complete…or change existing content making it “harder” by making it require more people.

If there is one thing that made this game the most enjoyable game I have ever played, it was the scalable events…and if there is one thing that has made this the most frustrating game lately, it has been the recent tendency to NOT use that scaling. The latest Tequatl event actually caused a ton of people I know to switch to higher population servers…(which only made my server even LESS populated) and they are loving being on the high population servers…I have guested with them…and was amazed that we can actually fight the Karka Queen, or clear temples, or actually WIN a scarlet invasion.

If your goal is to get the low population servers low enough where you can simply merge them…then okay…merge us and help us out already. If your goal is to make content that is enjoyable to everyone…then PLEASE start using the scaling you already have built into the game and not start the bar so high that low pop servers have no chance at completing this content. Everything else can be dealt with but we cannot conjure people out of thin air (unless you bring back GW1 heroes)….Please, start using your scaling algorithms more when doing EVERYTHING.

We low-pop servers also want challenging content….I am sick of guesting to high-pop servers to do content that was released for all of us…and from what I have read on the forums, they are sick of me coming to their servers as well…but the recent releases have left us absolutely no choice.

A good thing to have happen, might be for the ANET folks to start spending some time playing on the low-pop servers so they can see our challenges. While guesting on the high population servers I saw an ANET person doing each of the events with us! I had never seen anyone with that tag before above their head on my home server. I know it is more fun for them to play on the high-pop servers because there are more people…but then they are not seeing what the low-pop servers are dealing with…and this might be the cause of the lack of scaling in events. Spend some time with us low pop folks and then come up with challenging content that works for us as well.

Switch to the Bronze League!

And if you also want top notch PvE, choose Darkhaven!

Although our two big WvW zerg guilds left for Gold League servers, Darkhaven is still in good standing to get 1st place in Bronze League. Come experience WvW without queues, WvW where one person makes a difference, WvW that’s very organized yet small scale. And where better to do it than a server with a great community and solidarity like Darkhaven? (Hint: There is nowhere better)

Come to Darkhaven, bring a guild or bring a friend. If you switch without a guild and want to do some very organized WvW but also enjoy or want to get into PvE, look out for DHE tags and talk to them about joining up.

Is ANet listening or do they just not care?

in WvW

Posted by: Zenguy.6421

Zenguy.6421

The main issue is that the feedback added by players are in most cases vastly different and in some cases contradict each other. So who should they listen to?

Yes, there’s a lot of contradiction and threads never arrive at a consensus on these forums. Which means that if you look to these forums for ready packed solution backed by common agreement you’ll be right out of luck.

But if you read deeper than that you’ll see that the good ideas do shine through as does the overall concensus of the community.

You only have to take a broader view of the WvW forum over the last month or so to for it to be apparent that:

  • The Bloodlust buff has been a PR disaster
  • GvG matters to enough people that it needs attention
  • Imbalance between servers and its impact on match-ups is a huge issue
  • The broken party functions and stone age commander system are ongoing issues
  • There is a growing reaction against power creep in WvW
  • The upcoming League is highlighting rather resolving all of the above problems

None of these things are new, they have all been apparent in these forums for a long time.

You asked “So who should they listen to?” Rather than follow a single instrument they need to listen to the symphony overall, because that’s where the bigger movements are played out and where the persistent themes will be heard. If Anet don’t have anyone who can do that for WvW, then they either need to get someone who can or accept that WvW will continue to be a difficult part of GW2.

Just curious, is the meta achievement a full set of ascended for all your characters? Or even just one since y’all hate alts? Probably not. If I had to guess, it’s something far less than I would get if I had spent my time in PvE instead, as usual. I’d also guess that it’s account bound.

P.S. Honestly, if you think completing achievements is the incentive that WvW players were looking for and receiving some trivial reward, instead of fixing the broken state of WvW…

I’d just like to make a note of one thing that I think people aren’t considering when they transfer to stacked worlds. You will not, repeat will not, be able to receive the reward based on overall world place in the league, unless you achieve the meta achievement for the season. If you aren’t able to get into WvW much, you won’t get the rewards. So it is absolutely taking a risk to transfer to a world that has a large WvW population.

Bluff charge. We all know the meta achievement will be dead simple to get. You made the game for people’s pets, why would it suddenly be hard now?

Ah come on people isn’t it clear already?

Still have insane skill lag
5 dollar budget for WvW ( they gave a 100 dollar bonus for the extra bloodlust points )
Numbers equals winning

Now compare that to PVE

New content every 2 week
New Gem shop items
Bosses/Dungeons updates
Hidden changes in the living world

Should I mention Spvp between this? Nahh, what is Spvp right? Tutorial zone for WvW lol

GuildWars 2 is a PVE focused game, they probally make 90-95% of their money out of it from the PVE side.

I think we should wait for new open world mmo pvp games, its over in GW2 my humble opinion

To be honest, much of the new bi-weekly content is pretty low quality as well — full of bugs that never get fixed, recycled “F” – pressing mechanics. They’re basically a bi-weekly list of mindless achievements.

It seems Anet as a whole has some serious problems. It doesn’t help that they don’t really care about WvW as a game mode, and are trying to push as many people away from it and into their failed sPvP.

Honestly, this is the last hoorah for gem paid transfers. I doubt very many will move back down to a lower tier. It’s more likely that they will just quit. It seems like with every passing day less and less guildies are logging on. Between the ascended mess, and the bloodlust buff, what’s the point?

Time to revisit Ele nerfs.

in Elementalist

Posted by: red.2387

red.2387

Basically, the problem is threefold:

1) Some of the nerfs were never necessary.
2) Most of the other classes have since been buffed.
3) People understand how elementalists work now.

Anet really needs to go back and look at some of the nerfs they’ve given the elementalist and actually think up some buffs to go along with them.

Exactly how are elementalists compensated for having the lowest armor and lowest health in the game? Shouldn’t we have the highest base damage? Because we certainly don’t, dagger damage is AWFUL, especially autoattacks, and scepter damage is also terrible against anyone that doesn’t stand perfectly still.
