Guild Wars 2

I actually don’t mind YB players being happy about their performance this week, but I’d like them to keep in mind that it’s not a result of anything they are doing internally but rather what they are doing via map politics with Ebay. Map politics and 2v1s are part of the game, and if you want to do them to win it’s completely understandable. If you guys got the organization to pull off a consistent 2v1 you should do it and you’ve done it well, but don’t pat yourselves on the back for beating us and saying how much your server has improved when at the end of the day you are just a bunch of 2v1 tower huggers, and when you dare to come out of your tower it’s in blobs of 50-60 “guild groups” (I’m looking at you [One]/]SE]).

This is really funny coming from a guild that refuses to fight open field on even terms when it’s just [One] or [SE] and must hold hands with DR to even remotely engage and then run away when one of the guilds start dropping. No wonder we bring the guild groups, you guys need to bring 2, 3 guilds at a time to even fight us.

Don’t even bother with TE lol they like to claim they got sKILLZ when I easily owned em 1v2 & 2v3, several times, yesterday, on YBBL.

Sorry TE I’m not impressed so far.

Oh btw cheers to AD and BtSy guilds from Ebay I enjoy hunting you guys, I’m the engie who have screwed a few times your bunker groups :P

Depends on which class you’re fighting, right now I think warrior wins overall, really easy class to play & currently quite op followed by necro, mesmer and engineer.
Mes and Engi are really good on duels but really hard to master, they can easily own both warrior and necro if they are played properly.

Gaile I’m just letting you know that I recieved two emails telling me that you guys are reviewing my request again, thank you! but I’m also reporting a duplicate of my request.

#98899
#98860

Please could I get an update on my request #74159, whole week just passed with no answer ><.

Thank you!

Lol Gaile I was about to do that I just was waiting for late tonight to not be so annoying.

Thank you!.

It’s things like this that make borlis.org is the most entertaining wvw site I’ve ever found.

Checked it out, good read. Borlis kids skipping school to WvW, so gud.

HAHAHAHA nice!

Been 6 days so far, just updated my ticket, till the end of today, like you asked us Gaile.

Posting over here to keep people informed if anyone is in the same situation.

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

Shall we give Kits to all other professions so they can properly utilize Rune of the Engineer?

wow Anet… with this kind of replies from your people….. now I believe official forums wasn’t your best idea.

People can be hard, but in the end you are the one who decided to have a go with forums.

Really disappointed.

By the way warrior banners & elementalist conjure weapons are bundles as well so your argument falls short.

Aren’t you on the wrong forum thread?

I missed the Bunses gifs And Karns trolling.

:-/ too bad CORE band-wagoned to FA for an easy win.
now, shoo shoo fa.

Did they bandwagon before the league started?

Hey it’s Zaturday! This is my first post on here.
Thief (D/P) Outnumbered fight with [XOXO] and [GHW] of NSP vs YB Zerg
(6 vs 15+ Yaks Bend)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyyFNxe_rQs

Are you the thief that I insta downed like two days ago at NSP spawn in YB BL? Man… I had a good laugh, suddenly a XOXO thief appears to help his buddies but he got owned in 2 seconds XD now that I recall I did the same to a thief with an afro, XOXO your thieves are getting sloppy!

Gaile Gray.6029:

Yes, we have had a lot of requests. Gem refunds due to this change are being given priority, but we need to ask for a bit of extra patience. Thank you!

So how long should we wait to re-update our ticket, been 5 days so far, not in a rush but worried that some requests are getting lost with all the requests you’re getting.

Since ANET brought the issue to the table with the preview patch notes, we will be seeing engineer stacking more boon duration or roll with Infused Precision trait, losing all sense on nerfs because ANET doesn’t want most builds to work around with one trait (Incendiary Powder).

Eventually this could affect the class, so I think ANET should be looking at the buff and not the class, there’re another 3 classes, that I’m aware of, being able to perma vigor as well, Guardian, Mesmer & Elementalist.

I think vigor should be capped just like stealth, where you aren’t able to stack more than 3-5 secs of it even with boon duration increase.

I’ll just leave this here since it is always BP complaining about YB’s numbers.

And if you look at what tier those servers are they have every right to complain about it. BP has equal numbers, just worse night coverage.

Edit: but clearly it doesn’t matter what I say since you are losing you must have less players.

I was just posting a rebuttal to someone stating that BP is the only one who ever complained ever in the history of the world of modern online gaming. I have been conducting black ops in WvW before half of YB was just a dusty box on the shelf of Best Buy. I am used to being overwhelmed. Does that make you giddy?

Hey black ops dude quote that statement, please.

WarLord.8430:

Lol! your guild has never whipped our guild in a straight up fight without siege or insane numbers get good!

Made my day hahaha… beware of GLOB 50 Man Zerg with 25 ACs ! O:<

vitali.1609:

Thats a stretch, Globs pretty much free loot bags too. Had them on farm status since this matchup started wiping thier groups with half thier numbers.
Without siege support YB players are easily farmed in open field if thier numbers arent over 4 to 1 in thier favor.

I just lol’d, you must play perma stealth thief or ranger in WvW so I will not even bother to argue with you :P

Storm Sunstarr.8470:

Roam a little!

I spent 2 hours yesterday roaming, had like 3-4 fights max ^ ^

Keep PvF’ing ET & SF! you almost get that lord down….

You can’t deny that the battle in SF Garri was great fun lol

Nikkinella.8254:

And what does that say about you guys getting owned by clickers playing in a bathroom? Imagine what it would be like for you if we actually got serious.

I am on TC bro. What would happen if yaks got serious? Probably be upgraded from babies to kittens. Yaks Bend has always had laughable open field skill and sub-par wvw skill.

I’m gonna have so much fun owning u with my alt in JQ baby <3

Just replace w/rune of the undead, that’s what I use in spvp & it works great

It will be amazing if anyone who runs whit this trait could give an opinion on how good is it to handle condition damage.

I run SD build on my engineer in WvW because I kinda got tired of condition builds & it seems to be a little difficult to handle condition damage with this build, so I’m doing a little research on engineer traits to have a better passive way to handle Condition Dmg & Dur.

I know that every build has a weakness and right now everything related to condition stands as the meta (op) but I’m just looking into different gameplays & playing with handicap makes it more exciting :P so please share your opinion with me!

3hrs+ again to get organized and take OL SBI… stop rushing things is not helping you….

Radioactive.1248:

no matter how many times you zoom hacked ac’s.

Nice a TE talks about zoom hacking! I love it <3

woah 5 days and this post still on….

I know is mostly a discussion between pro-GvGers & anti-GvGvers but now it starts looking more like a complaint post.

I do have to agree on this, getting ascended trinkets & infusions with laurels it currently forces you to save them for ONLY 1 CHAR.

I would prefer an ecto or karma trade more than laurels.

SBI stats:

60+ ppl
3+ hours
15+ trebs
7+ catas
10+ acs
8+ ballistas
5+ golems (3-4 alphas) &
1 lords fail attempt

to take a t2 OL

I would blame it on SBI & their famous lack of organization (zombies :P) but I gotta give credit to Yak’s Bend, nicely done everyone…. especially our commander Lyrokie, we were only around 7 of us [GLOB] with pugs & all those 3+ hours we just kept screwing all SBI attempts.

Cheers to Yak’s Bend \o/

All I gotta say to SBI is that in my opinion you’re really far from being gold league material but I guess you can prove me wrong after the league starts (if you make it) since DB is mostly dead we will see how you do it against Mag & SoS ^ ^

Radioactive.1248:

please, you get to pick all your fights as a defender with better terrain and supporting siege.

OP don’t always means that X class is too powerful, it could mean that the other classes are too weak, I don’t know if you get what I’m trying to say? XD

OP always means that class X is too powerful, hence the word overpowered.

Yes but when you call a class OP with a variety of 8 differnet types it becomes relative…

Example….
I can easily take on necros with my thief, engi and ele but I do have trouble with my mesmer, ergo mesmer could be underpowered by confusing necro superiority with X class handicap and calling it OP (like mesmer lack of condi removal)

You can easily tell when a class is OP… just take a look at the current meta.

Take some warriors, guards & necros and you’re good to go.

OP don’t always means that X class is too powerful, it could mean that the other classes are too weak, I don’t know if you get what I’m trying to say? XD

I’ve been seen lately people using a different alt-f4 trick to ignore the system… ><

I’ve no idea how they do it but you don’t get any reward :/

Just don’t let to whoever is in 1st place acquire the buff but be able to control the points denying the buff to 2nd and 3rd place, 2nd place can have a max of 2 buffs & 3rd place is able to have all the 3 buffs.

I recommend thief.

I can smell a nerf on warriors and necros.

NoQQ and Lost in BP I love chu <3 4 exotics from you guys in 30m thank you!

Lord Kuru.3685:

Dear ArenaNet,
However, please note that negative criticism is what you really should pay attention to.

What you’re telling them is that they should listen to the kid who keeps calling them stupid.

You should fix that.

Constructive criticism***

ionfone.5803:

Unfortunately, it is working as intended. Just like a stunbreaker breaks out of an active stun/knockdown/daze, if any of those conditions are reapplied immediately afterwards, you’ll be ‘stunned’ again.

Rocketboots doesn’t actually dodge/evade during or after its activation, so if there’s a persistent effect where you use it, you run the risk of getting hit with the chill/cripple/immobilize again. The worst part is many targeted skills will ‘track’ you until you land, even if you’re beyond its maximum range. It could be a lag issue, but it seems to occur fairly consistently.

Still – Rocketboots are still a great gadget compared to before. The built-in knockdown is something that always bothered me. Especially if they ever iron out the occasional weird ‘landing lag’ at the end…

I do really like how they re-worked the skill but I feel the damage outcome is just a way to handicap the skill and justify the Combo Blast, we have a lot of blast finishers with a big damage outcome.

Currently this is the skill description:

Fly forward, damaging foes with your rocket exhaust. Cures immobilized, crippled, and chilled.

• Damage: 244
• Rocket distance: 900
• Radius: 120
• Combo Finisher: Blast
• Range: 600

Yesterday while I was on my engineer I noticed that it seems that after we trigger the skill we can still get immobilized, crippled & chilled while we are in air, is this how this skill works?

If so, it would be really helpful to give a better description of the skill, like when the outcome of the skill takes effect, right after it’s casted, while in the air or after landing.

Thank you!

Bertrand.3057:

If you think this is all just about one man expressing his opinion you need to take a look around you.

I ask you to do the same, take a look on how you guys ask for things ^ ^

One often contradicts an opinion when what is uncongenial is really the tone in which it was conveyed.

Radiology.3597:

I know people have been banned for posting the link, I’m sure plenty of you can find his youtube channel and the video he posted 9/12/13 on the progression (or lack of) in GW2 in terms of WvW and GvG.

Sacrx, and moreso Red Guard, is a guild held in high regard to the community and so their opinions on the game DO matter very much. I myself, being heavily invested in WvW, and currently interested in the growth of GvG, am HIGHLY concerned about the state and future of WvW and GvG because someone who knows so much about the game has pretty much been ignored.

If I get banned for mentioning it, so be it, but I believe it is in the large interest of the WvW community to hear an official response from Anet. I believe many WvWers are playing in belief that you guys are serious about this aspect of the game, but if we are just being funneled to sPvP for Anets dream of an esport, then I’m wasting my time in hopes of progress, and will sadly take my leave.

Yea he expressed & asked so nicely that soon you will have your answer!

…lol

Istaf.1953:

Oh yea totally, there’s a lot of Guardians and Warriors. However I wouldn’t say the lack of Eles and Mesmers is because they’re useless. Mesmers are a necessity in WvW, In general combat their veil can make or break the opening of a engagement. Same goes for Ele with their healing, stuns and AoE damage which you simply don’t get from the heavy classes.

Our guild also did a lot of D/D eles back in the day, we still do it for fun matter of fact :P

Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying eles or mes are useless lol, those are two of the four classes I play in WvW. I just dislike the fact that by having 2 mesmers it would be enough in most cases, d/d eles got nerfed and it seems like people don’t enjoy playing staff like d/d, that’s why we see more people playing s/d.

Everyone wants to pew pew & smash stuff and if we compare 2 supportive classes like guardian against staff ele… well I think people find way more fun guardian because you can actually do decent damage, support your team & you’re more likely to survive.

Sadly I have both my mesmer and ele parked awaiting for a rebalance, I still roll em when the situation deserves it but other than that it is weird that I play them, guardian and warrior are great for all the game modes in wvw like mesmer and ele used to be :/

Thrumdi.9216:

Unfortunately, a mechanic that was geared towards casuals (downed state, rallies) actually makes the game more hostile for casuals.

I’m a casual player and I find downed state quite fun, rallying and being able to flip the situation it’s just awesome.

WvW is like a giantic king of the hill not a deathmatch mode.

Istaf.1953:

Art.9820:

I don’t have any problem with stuns but sadly WvW has become Guardian & Warrior Wars and some Necros…. Eles and Mes are weird to see now, roamers and golem rushers still use them, at least in my server this has become very obvious, somehow I feel we will be seeing a nerf on both guards & warriors pretty soon dunno about necros.

Sometimes it is not a matter of L2P is a matter of balance between classes

Not sure what setup you’ve been running but Ele’s and mesmers are two very much used classes. Ele’s have static, water fields and lots of damage, mesmers have boon stripping, veil, portals, time warp etc. The only classes that aren’t used in WvW is ranger and Engi. And one of the main reasons Engi isn’t used is because there aren’t any. Ranger on the other hand needs a buff.

Yup but I encourage to actually sit and start counting heads when zerging and you will notice what I meant, I’m talking about several times not only once, currently most zergs are probably composed by 50%+ of guards and warriors because right now they have an important role.

Engineers and mesmers are the least played classes within the game but we still see a lot of them running around what I’m trying to say is that meta and class popularity are two different things.

Do you remember how all zergs had A LOT of D/D eles?

I think this is one way of many in which anet can draw lines and go by to see the current state of the game.

DB stop defending and focus on capping, I’m amazed that you guys haven’t realised what’s the real purpose of this match… sigh….

running from map to map killing your group of 20 people is about the most fun we can have this matchup, sorry

Oh well no worries we are more than glad to keep flipping ur wps lol

Oh no you didn’t Art. How dare you bring up those very painful memories from our servers past. Stay classy Hax Bend.

No worries, I stay classy, my stormpuff buddy

Should I list all SBI hacking background? :P

Remember how WM used to glitch in garry through wg?

They could have had any excuse to do so but still, that’s hacking. ^ ^

So… SBI you’re not in the best position to accuse others.

You have done it before and you still do it.

In World vs World you can use it… to jump in a zerg like a kitten and cast everything among them and pray to survive

Oh yeah boy I like to live dangerously

To those discussing warrior in WvW, Anet earlier posted a nice infographic, give it a look…

https://d3b4yo2b5lbfy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/1c2c9GW2_Anniv_Infographic.jpg

Obviously the stats of which professions are the most played in WvW are missing… but now you have a better insight :P

I <3 engi

The context of what I said was in reply to him bringing up “pride” in winning. No I don’t feel pride when I stomp an up-level, or a group who is not a challenge in whatever way for whatever reason. Yes I do have a lot of fun and get a sense of pride when I am able to win a hard fight with a good player. Sometimes the challenge is because we have 3 people fighting against 15, even if they are not good at playing their classes, it’s still challenging and thus fun/rewarding.

I’m glad you found a way to have fun yet not everyone finds what you do fun….

No I don’t expect everyone to be ready to 1v1 me or have the ability to beat me. I do respect anyone who tries though much more then those who are afraid to. Even if they have to run for CD’s to reset and then come back.. It’s to the point these days where I almost always invite someone who dares to fight me 1v1 in the open world so I can thank them for the fight and compliment them on what they did well, since MOST people just run away if they don’t outnumber you.

Some of my best friends in the game are people who were inexperienced and tried to fight me anyways, lost but kept trying. Asked for and received advice from me and wanted to improve their play. Some of my other best friends are those who stomped me when I first met them, in fact that’s how I met the group I currently run with. When I first met them (Envy at that time), Andromeda kicked my kitten in a duel.

Let’s not talk about acknowledging others because you brought up the tbag topic which makes it pretty much ironic in any way….

If someone happens to run away from you and avoid the match well you can’t be sure why he/she run from you, I rage every time I’m hit by a npc ranger when someone on map chat says “INC X PLACE” so yeah you have had amazing experiences in WvW but still that doesn’t mean everyone have to fulfill them so you can be happy.

I have yet to meet a zerg in the last year that restrained from chasing me across half the map when they ran across me solo.

There will be always zerg who chase small squads and usually those are the leftovers in a zerg because they just want to kill, the same applies to you, while you hunt this leftovers.

I’m 100% sure that you guys chase groups that you easily outnumber as well. :P

EVERYONE DOES THAT.

Also that SS I posted, those people were indeed there to fight the 7-8 spca/tm as there was nothing else going on in the map besides the fight over that camp. I wasn’t even part of the battle as you could see by the SS I was on a low 20’s character standing off to the side watching the show. And I posted the SS not to mock, but to praise those guys, so I’m not really sure how my ego plays into that, but anyways.

Can you be 100% sure of this?
You can’t.
You don’t know if someone whispered a commander in ebg or other bl warning them about golems in our BL.
I’m a scout and I spend a lot of time whispering commanders when I see something dangerous in our bl.
Or maybe something happened before you guys came in, maybe we were being outnumbered by your server or SBI and they already mapped out and the commander was just there to finish taking what we were missing.
I can assure you that I have never whispered a commander because XOXO or any small squad guild is in our BL.

I never said nobody cares, I said it doesn’t matter.

Sorry, I corrected myself after a bit, but seems like you started to redact your replay before but you get my point.

Again, never said that. My replies in this thread have been in defense of attacks on my playstyle, not the other way around.

We have never attacked roaming as a pure concept, I run 4 professions in WvW in which I spend most of my time scouting, roaming, defending and lastly zerging.

All here know that roaming is a WvW fact, just like zerging, gvging, scouting and defending, what we don’t like is that someone comes in here and demoralizes others game plays and makes his own the best game play, maybe you didn’t but I’m sure some of your guildies did.

In every server someone sees a way to mock others but that is the the purest form of competition that exists now when you take it to a personal level and start laughing at individuals and their beliefs it starts to get personal for obvious reasons and this thread is the best example of that.

TL;DR
Most of your statements are lost in subjectivity

Wreckdum.8367:

To add to Art’s point.

There is a reason sPvP stat points are capped. WvW crit damage is double what it should be in a 5v5. Many other stats are way too high for 5v5 balance as well.

Also all thieves and mesmers won’t win an spvp match.

Yea >< I’m still waiting for mesmer to be rebalanced I only play with my engi for now :/
