The best player in the game
“I’m better than all of you!”
Houdini, ZL jumped ship to JQ.
I’ve been picking fight with stragglers all over the 4 maps, and I can say that Kaineng remind me of SF… All they know to do is zerg you, because all Kaineng straglers I took on, died miserably to my Engineer (which i’m still improving), or came rolling with a large group on me.
Yes, I know WvW ain’t place for 1v1, but I wanted to put my findings here…
If anyone is interested in a fight, you can whisp me in game and I’ll get to ya if i’m not busy. (Even PAXA… At this point, idc about WvW for the rest of the week. Just want to fight for fun.)
You won’t find paxa around anymore we all left. Just a FYI keep on zerging
Cheers.
I bet GoM is finally going to draw HoD for a matchup now that you guys left. Sucks. I enjoyed fighting PAXA in previous matchups and was looking forward to another go.
Have fun in your new game.
I think you’re a wizard.
I believe Anet said the same thing that blocking treb shots/pult shots with ele focus 4 and other similar skills was absolutely okay. Until they got rid of it.
[VLK] AC camera hacking. LoL what can I say [mend] little kittens.
You do realize that the inner gate has a slit on top that you can see through. And the arrow cart is very clearly in front of the gate.
Not all gates have a hole… If this one have it, then he’s really aiming from it since the middle of the circle is on the wall behind the gate (problably the only thing you can target from there… Otherwise it’s fishy.
I’ll take a look when we have this keep back…
In keeps, the outer gates are fully blocked. The inner gates have the slot over them between the gate and the wall (save garri inner watergate).
Slits don’t render at such low settings.
I didn’t mean like a small sliver. I am taking about the gap between the gate and wall.

Hey ET. Battlecamp came back! lol
I tried to party with Ajax Blue but he wouldn’t accept my friendship =\
Impressive show of coordination and strength ET. Stronger server then last time we faced by far.
Besides the point, NSP did this last time we faced each other. I tried to do it on my own ele but was unsuccessful. They are the only server that has done this.
If an ele is attacking me, it will say the something like NSP invader hit you for xxx, but no, the damage log say the source is “Unknown”.
It was an ele last time. The person attacking you was so far away he won’t even render.
i know this isn’t my matchup but…why do the times not matchup for the time of the attack and the time on your mini map? o.o
Good job cheating nsp, killing treb using hacks. See the combat log.
Maybe his chat is local time while his maps is server time?

You cannot blame low FPS on Anet, that is your rig, client side. Skill lag is Anet, server side.
Well hello Katz
Land mines.
Land mines that work like the traps in WvW.
They take out 1/3 of a golem health(or less or more)
Only one per character can be deployed.
Players cannot set off the mine, only golems.
To counter this, golems have two new skills
-detect landmines. Similar to the detect trap skill in guild rushes
-remove landmine. A ranged 5 sec channel skill that removes mines in a certain area.
Consider the numbers to be X variables and can be any number for balance sake.

Turn off emotes. You think sitting/sleeping will actually help in hiding? A decent sweep can ruin that.
Flappy just outdid PAXA in crashing fight night.
So the bad guys would see Gate of Madness Invader: Invader?
Titles have been hidden in WvW.
Can I bring my lvl 2 guardian to fight club?
Where is our “Dark Overlord” rank. Or “Sissy pants”
How about flipping the screen black… seems like a simple fix and probably an easy change.
Also included a “you are dead” message written in blood, followed by the deletion of your character.
Oh… Wrong game…
I think the automatic waypoint after a certain time is q great idea. Three minutes is very generous.
I am still here and there. Just… after Sunday morning and Monday noon (NA Pacific Time) events, I’m a bit tired… but homeland regulars know that I was there somewhere. I’ll (try) make this post quick.
Monday noon/afternoon, right after my post here…

(Rel/Ref: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/matchups/7-26-DR-AR-HoD/page/3#post2515129 weird, failed to quote here )Dear AR, I’ve never been in your or other enemy borderlands for weeks. (except taking the shortcut to Lion’s Arch from PvE map, walking from DR spawn to LA portal in Citadel is a bit far~) I can’t explain the first screenshot to you, and I, or we, have no power and rights to tell people what to do. They themselves play for fun, too.
I do and did think that it would be funner if the 2nd and 3rd server unspokenly team up against the 1st, but it’s very hard to pull off. I fully understand that it’s not so much fun running around like hell, just like what you do in PvE, to defend your hard- or half-upgraded (or paper :-/ ) borderland posts and to fend overwhelming or at least quite annoying enemies.

Dear HoD — “Just embrace what you’ve earned for yourself.”You can trigger the orange swords all by yourself. I was on the cata on lower level covering the treb in Garrison. I’m pretty sure I was the only one near Garrison watergate then, the 2nd time you pushed into our Garrison (13:55 PDT). I saw orange swords, I shouted out in map chat, I saw you in.
You can also see that there weren’t many DR in the pictures when the orange swords popped up. (/kudos Creamy [Bags]) Earlier around noon, your first push to the Garrison watergate, I just logged in and our people just successfully defended our NW tower. You had another one or two small/medium group (/kudos [VLK]) in our borderland then.

How many people actually get offended/discouraged by emotes in a pvp game? I’m genuinely curious. I’m not saying people aren’t and I’m not saying it’s polite or anything, I just want to know.
I don’t. I have emotes turned off in chat because spamming it is childish and annoying.
Screenshots attached and also in the Dropbox album.

Have fun, all!
Huh? I read your post several times and I am confused as to what you were trying to convey here.
pretty sure no VLK around so
I see morn and Devon, and winter asking for more top 5% ballista’s. Pretty sure its VLK working on their best selling siege guide. Which I hope will be published soon for all to learn from.
(edited by ArkAngel.7940)
Wow, we took all of EB and you guys think you can take it back by siege locking us. So mature.
Are you sure it wasn’t VLK doing a “How to: protect SM third floor” guide? You should see their other guide “How to: siege up SM” followed by my personal guide “How to: Defend Rogues Quarry” on our website.
Dude, anyone who thinks AR doesn’t have spirit is wrong. I get my stuff handed to me all the time, but I keep coming back for more. We hold strong here, and we want all you can bring.
Don’t bullkitten us, bring your big guns and leave the children at home.
But does it have hot women?

Same here. Whether it’s WvW, world bosses, or standing around in LA… emotes are off for that exact reason. It’s annoying and childish. But when people take great offense to these knuckleheads, I sometimes have to wonder “why?”
Its the same people who report for language when they haven’t discovered the language filter option.
It’s generally younger players. You need to take into account that the hot female you are grouped with is most likely a 12 year old boy.
No… That can’t be… True… It just can’t! I refuse to believe you! The hot females in game have to be hot females in real life! Around the age of twenty.

Surely if they go through with this we will know who’s suggestion caused the Anet servers to burn to the ground.
lolz … people are funny
This is what I’ve come to expect from HoD. We’re Outnumbered, obviously no threat to “win” this match, and they are sieging our spawn. CLASSY!!!! Guess the two alpha golems had ’em skeered, ROFL.
This is what I’ve come to expect from any server who is stomping a different server. Doesn’t say anything about the server, because every server has people who will do this or has had this done to them when the opportunity for it is there.
Don’t tell me you’re a guy who forms their opinion of an entire server over the actions of a few?
No, I don’t form an opinion based on a few. This isn’t the first time HoD members have done this. I base it on a DAILY occurrence of having our spawn camped. This just happened to be an added treat of having it sieged too. This sort of lack of class only helps to ensure our newbies coming to WvW don’t stay. GG.
Pro tip:
So they only spawn camp you if you let them
Don’t worry so much about it man. Everyone will at some point go down the path of blaming numbers for all their server’s shortcoming. Once you get past this stage you will learn that playing defense doesn’t require an equal sized zerg. There have been many times this match up when AR has lost their entire side of EB when they shouldn’t have. I realize that many of your players are new to WvW and such, but once these guys start depending on themselves rather than a massive zerg to do well in WvW, AR will be the better server for it.
There is nothing more satisfying then repelling a zerg of 40 with 5 people in our tower. Utilizing smart siege placement. And the oh so hilarious supply traps.
Skill effect culling no Bruno, I like the chaos of a AoE heavy battle. Hoping they make this a graphic option.
No grub mastery? =/
Currently, a player gives more Wxp to its killer the longer he has been alive. This resets if the player has been downed but rallied. This has lead to eles not giving Wxp.
The Wxp counter should reset on player death, not player really.
Bring in omega golem, wreck AC’s. Problem solved. Also rushing the AC and also throwing down water fields coupled with blast finishers along the rush path should get you through.
Can’t wreck a ton of ACs behind walls or beyond AOE reach.
I think Anet introduced the whole AC thing for special people.
Then bring in 3 omega golems and rush them through the front line. Then wreck AC. The answer is always more omega golems.
Taco night tonight! 8est NSP border by the windmill. Be there so i can test my new recipe on you guys :p
Fixed.
I’m curious as to exactly how often anyone escorting a Yak is called on to protect it from anything it can’t handle itself. It’s not as if you can’t hire a couple of NPC guards.
A properly specced guardian can defend a yak against nearly any single player and sometimes two or more.
What sort of answer is that? I asked how often a yak is seriously attacked, not how big an escort does it need.
All the time is the correct answer this is why it is also important to upgrade supply, i normally double then get caravan guards because yaks get killed from all sorts of foe, it is really annoying, so i will run yaks to help with upgrades normally whilst sieging up towers and doing other upgrades, as you should know yak killing is often part of dailies.
Ive killed as many as 940 yaks in a week running solo. The guards I chose to either completely ignore and just kill the yak OR if I have time I will kill the guards to farm the extra WXP. The way I see it, upgrading to get guard escorts is simply paying to supply your enemy with more WXP.
Guards help kill the NPC that spawn to kill the yaks, not kill players. I have seen a lot of yaks die to bats and skelk and other stuff.
As others have said, you want to flip enemy towers to keep them paper
I appreciate the answers, it really helps me understand a bit more the overall different motivations that are occurring in WvW.
I have only been doing WvW on a regular basis for a month or two, so I am afraid I don’t know what the term “paper” tower means.
What does “paper tower” mean?
I infer it means towers that after being taken, are left undefended, but I am not sure.
It means the tower is not upgraded.so the walls and gates are wooden. So people can tear through it easily like ‘paper’.
I have it maxed out. Helps a ton in dire situations. And when trying to flash build something.
I just wish they will fixed the 15 to 5 to 1 bug. So instead of two ticks to use 15 it requires three.
It is an event sweeping WvW. The doors are revolting against their masters!
Another DE would be “There is an enemy zerg! Defend your dolyak!”. And if it fails the nearby tower and keep will have all gates and walls break instantly.
Maybe I should record a video of me escorting a yak and upgrading a tower and upload it calling it “The Real WvW”.
I escort yaks with smaller paths like in EB. Spent two hours upgrading Klovan/Golanta. Putting siege in them to defend them from attacks. A couple times we were attacked but fended them off because not only was I running yaks, but also supplies to build siege. I was not bored those few hours, because I was also talking to friends on team speak.
Your answer lies here
One trap at a time may be active.
Does that apply even if they are different traps?
Are we allowed to deploy more than one trap at a time?
You flip towers to them into paper. The more paper towers the enemy has the easier it is to take. By using this strategy you are not taking down 8 t3 towers. Making it easier to cap the towers around a keep.
It will also keep an enemy occupied trying to retake those towers while your forces work somewhere else.
It is good to keep your enemy with paper towers, and protect your fortified towers.
Never noticed this. I always thought WXP resets when you die, not go down. Are you sure you’re not stomping the same bad ele over and over again?
Still have our Garrison NSP. You give up already?
Yeah I took it off of your hands tonight along with your Bay and Hills. It took a handful of us too! Took a screenshot of my crew. All 7 of us for your garrison. Eventually had about 15 of us total for the rest, guess you weren’t expecting us….
Nope, we were definitely not expecting that you guys would sack our keeps again… For the 20th time…
The popular opinion says… “No.”
