And, while it isn’t an entirely new map, you can look forward to some changes to the borderlands soon. Let’s just say you should get your krait killing in now.

WvW updates
We feel that Krait have acquired too much of a negative image due to their lack of a player-friendly faction till now, so we switched it up a bit and instead of collecting pearls for Quaggans, you collect Quaggans for Krait now.

best change ever

Marcus Greythorne.6843:

because people will be disappointed if they tell us about this cool feature which later gets taken out because it doesn’t work as intended.

Ever since the embarrassment of having to drop an enormous amount of features and content they talked about pre-launch to make the release deadline, ArenaNet have had a pathological fear of talking about un-released content.

The thing that they have yet to realize, is that players hate not knowing where the game is heading, and that problems and issues are to being worked on. It destroys any confidence they have in the game’s future and the competence of the Dev team.

Oh god…. I’ve seen that wink before… Don’t fall for it guys…

The Karka are coming to WvW!!!!!!!!

The champions in all the keeps/towers will become champion karka :P

Kudos Elona Reach…you are the best server we’ve ever fought. Don’t listen to the moans, you’re playing the game the way it has to be played. W3 is flawed. Not your fault. Anyway, I’ve found many of you to be pretty feisty, unlike Jade Sea last week, the worst server we’ve ever fought. Sure they won. But they were souless and crappy.

We don’t have any queues. The robots who follow the zerg about capping kitten who think their rank makes them l33t have found other things to do. The guilds who just care about their own fun are crying in their crisps.

So go ahead ER, crush us like the bugs we are. And if you look anything like Alex Kingston, feel free to sit on my cold, dead face.

Man so many Gandara have no fun in his life. I run naked with a Ballon in my Hand over the EB and so many Gandaras want wo kill me And most of These do only Heartseeker Heartseeker Heartseeker Heartseeker Heartseeker But 2-3 did understand me <3 u for that !! I WANT PARTYYYY

DevonCarver.5370:

There are some updates coming soon, quite soon even, that hopefully will dispel this. Say bye-bye to the Quaggan.

To quote the OP:

Urrid.4593:

-snip-
Broken loot. Check.
Non-refundable wxp traits that say one thing and give you less? Check!
Widespread graphics issues? Yup, check!
-snip-

Are we talking about sacrificing the Quaggan on some sort of ritualistic altar that will summon forth a fix for problems with loot, wxp and wvw traits, and the plethora of graphics issues? Because that would definitely dispel the complaints of the OP.

And by the way…I still can’t kick logged off members from my party in WvW. How many baby Quaggans do we need to club to get that one fixed?

DevonCarver.5370:

And, while it isn’t an entirely new map, you can look forward to some changes to the borderlands soon. Let’s just say you should get your krait killing in now.

Should have been there ~6 months ago. Basicly just confirming again that there will be “some changes” to the middle area of the borderlands.
Still we dont know anything specific.

Next patch: Trap mastery!

I dont understand what Anet did to WvW… You destroyed it for so many players.

Last 3 weeks for rank 13 Gandara!

Week 30
Aguryrock rank 10
Riverside rank 8
This was not funny but it was okay and a great challange to not get streamrolled.

Week 31
Aurora glade rank 14
Jade Sea rank 6
Aurora glade is a great matchup for us but Jade sea was just blobbing with massive numbers and destroyed all the fun for the entire week and they should not be matched against us.

Week 32
Far shiverpeaks rank 16
Elona Reach rank 3
Are you freaking kidding me? match a rank 3 server against 13 and 16? They are already steamrolling 4am with blobb and mass golems and taking over the entire map..

So whats next week? Vizunah?! I just want fair good and abit of a challange but I dont want to get steamrolled by a far superior server each week. This cant be intended and this is just bad matchmaking that you do nothing about even tho you know about the problem?

Time to step up and actually give a kitten about WvW Anet..

Sorry about bad grammar its really late.

I usually love to WvW, but this week is the third time in a row that we (Gandara) get a matchup where one server zergrolls over the other two. This week we face Elona’s Reach [DE] (rank 3) and Far Shiverpeaks (rank 16) , of which the first is currently zergblobbing the other two servers at 02:00 AM (they nearly have all borderland maps and the only fight happening is on EB).

So for now, I leave WvW for as it is and can’t be bothered by it anymore until the matchups become more decent and fun to do again…

Wouldn’t it also be useful that the weekly match-ups gets validated by an ANet employee to prevent these kind of huge mismatches? I agree that the system may need to learn, but this is something that just can’t happen!

Only a WvW player will read all of these and will approve all of them while shaking his head up and down.

Clearly this was Kiel’s plan all along.

Hmm, don’t you need a question for solo/roaming in WvW so we can answer Warrior?

Hahaha I love your videos. Learned so much

DRUCKEN DRUCKEN DRUCKEN!!!!

Uuuuund drei zwei einz gooo .. Alles sammen zum Commander und das combo felde explosivie finisher BAAAM BAAAM BAAAM!

The problem to me is that there is no reward or incentive other then having “fun”. Now, I would say that is a completely acceptable reward in itself but when you are hopelessly outnumbered it just isn’t that fun. Getting farmed and facing 10v1 fights all week is not going to be much of a turn on for most people. “Hey guys I know we are getting blown out on the scoreboard but we are gaining rank!”…..yea, that’s great if you actually had a tangible reward for putting up a valiant effort against impossible odds but there isn’t. It’s just a bad system in so many ways…..

Gandara bit of an over kill on dawns in ROF BL 3 trebs, 4 catapults, 3 golems and only about 10 of us defending

…to hurt yourself unnecessarily.

DO NOT:

Run with scissors
Juggle active flame throwers
Chew razorblades
Trade punches with Mike Tyson
Date Mike Tyson
Attack a 50man zerg with 5 men and no beer.

DO:

Attack a 50man zerg with 5 men and lots of beer.

If you are a small guild that plays mornings/afternoons (UK time) consider setting up shop on these sunny shores. What shores? Oh I’ll have a pint please.

Check out the community at http://gunnars-hold.eu – drop by, say hi, bring beer. Or not. Some people prefer soft drinks. Like vodka.

TRY:

There is no try. Either do, or do not.

This public service announcement was brought to you by the need for light morning/afternoon coverage because most of our community fears daylight. This would not suit huge guilds as we don’t have that much of a need. Also, small guilds tend to work harder to integrate as we promote a bully-free enviroment and no offence, but a lot of the big guilds just don’t quite get it.

We asked our best and brightest to come up with a recruitment post. They were on a break. So I did it. If I have offended anyone, please get in touch with our complaints department. Which is me.

Zelothe.9234:

I agree with Nikaido. But original post is a very bad suggestion, what if I have a bunch of friends who happen to be 2 rangers and 2 thieves or even 4 of the same class, should I be penalized for this group setup, also this is very much against the design philosophy of take the person you want not the class which was implemented very early in the design process to get rid of the traditional trinity. The fact that a new trinity of Warr, Mesm, Guard has been born in GW2 is a question of PvE balance and should be remedied through a class and skill balance changes not through some quirky forced rainbow class setup. (Also I hope that the upcoming update fixes some of this as I am sick of people asking for zerk warrs for every dungeon run)

If every class offered the exact same thing and group composition wasn’t a factor, what would be the point of different classes? In an environment where variety is a factor, there will always be something optimal to pick. That’s just reality.

You’re still their enemy, you can do damage to eachother. If you go into stealth, they can see you. You can also see eachothers location on the map as a blue dot. They might invite you to say something nice, or ask a question. They may also invite you to be a jerk. Join if you want. If you don’t like what they have to say, just leave the group.

Also bowing might be condescending, but that may be presumptuous. A laugh is more obviously a jab at people. Bow’s are more appropriately a sign of respect. Of course its all somewhat ambiguous and people will take it as they will.

Whats funny is I have had players playing thief rage when I stay in the area they are obviously going to try to take, when they try to stealth and run away, threats of reporting me etc cause I stay by the camp they are trying to take, I think thief players depend way too much on stealth, and the other mechanics possible with thief are overlooked. If stealth was tuned down a notch, it would encourage wider builds and creativity with the thief, which has more to offer than just stealth and run away.

Ahh who cares about win this week on RoF? 2 second after reset we knew we had bad draw. But now? Thanks to Gandara and Miller’s we learned something. Thanks to VcY on vacation,we learned something. Every blowout against stronger servers we learn something.

Don’t mess with us guys, because one day we will be back, stronger, and we will fight as hard as now, but with more people.

ArenaNet you have shown zero initiative in combating the ******* Bot app plaguing your game. Simply zero. I just watched a thief spam Dodge more than 5+ times, and teleport around the entire zerg over and over out of stealth the entire time.

I can not believe this company has done nothing to stop this behavior in their game. I’m done with this. I have protested this company for two months refusing in purchasing gems (which I always found to be a supportive way to support ArenaNet) on the Store due to their neglecting fixing one of my skills being bugged — and now tonight’s behavior has clearly, 100 percent shown me that they do not give a kitten about the insane amount of hacking that is going on within this game.

- Auto Dodge against Attacks
- Bots are doing the auto Ability counters in WvW
- Teleporting
- Speed hacking
- list goes on and on

I reported the thief, but why? Countless players have swarmed to these forums reporting that players they have reported are still on their servers and are not being dealt with at all — and they have had many players witness with their own eyes the exploitation/hacking/cheating that has gone on for months on end. If these companies cannot control the issues with players cheating and its refusal to fix a bug on my class that has existed since the game has launched, then screw it.

All of my friends have quit long ago due to the lack of issues within this game not being addressed. I make new friends and as time moves on they too eventually quit playing with the same comments over and over: things do not get fixed, people are hacking too much . . . . My recent Fractals group quit because of the agonizing grinding/farming/letdown of Fractal skins, cheating within WvW every night, ect., etc. I’m the last of them now, and I too have had it. If this company can not hire the people needed to heavily monitor this game LIVE and the issues within WvW, then I see no good future for this game.

I’m done. I have had it with ArenaNet’s refusal and understanding knowledge in dealing with these bot injectors that have simply taken over their game.

Those who have chosen to use cheats: you have won the battle, it’s now your game and you can have it.

Sincerely,
Legit player

call target on the real mesmer.. the bullseye will stay on the real guy so you dont even ahve to think who the real one is.

turn off auto target closest enemy. its a noob tool that will get you killed.
if you have on auto target while fighting the mesmer and he stealths you will target a clone and lose the real target.. if you turn that off and he stealths you will not target anything until the real mesmer reappears and you will return to him as your target.

learn what ileap looks like. if you dodge it shatter mesmers are kinda useless.,

learn to notice what spec your enemy is playing. there is no “mesmer” spec. there are differnt kinds. if you dont learn to recognise what kind you are playing you dont know what to do.
do you fight a hammer glass cannon guardian the same as you fight a bunker?

learn what weapons do in your enemies hands. is he using a staff, a greatsword, a focus, a pistol? when he is using those weapons what does he have access to?

turn off npc names. pretty sure only the real mesmer has guild tags.

People in golems are often fun, hehe. When it’s their first time in WvWvW, they see it standing there, the USE comes up and off they go!

Usually they start using all th skills too, so the golem is whirwinding a poor rabbit or so

It’s the number one topic in the Tech Support section of this forum and like always we might as well be talking to a brick wall.
