I think the only classes that need attention currently to be brought in line with the other classes are the engi and especially ranger. All the other classes are balanced with one another. Good players that have perfected their builds with their play styles will always seem like they are overpowered. But they are just that, perfected, not overpowered.
So ANBU is roaming in AR BL, getting into some scraps with [bs], and we run into a mini AR zerg (mostly [asap] from what I could tell, 15 or so). There’s three anbu, 2 necros 1 war. The AR zerg builds a field ballista. LOL.
I want to apologize on behalf of AR, that should not have been done. I know the feel. HoD made 2 trebs, ballista and 2 sup AC’s while me and my guild did a run. They did it to get us out of their north camp so I know what you mean.
I thought it was hilarious. At first I thought you guys had just killed someone and troll blueprinted them. But then you finished building and I lol’d and ran between the bridge at ss tower to not be in los of the Bali.
Understandable. Im still not 100% into WvW from season end. Kind of milkong meh ascended armor crafting LoL. 5/6 tonight on reset tho. Can’t milk it much longer!
Well it seems like all of AR’s momentum is gone. The PVE fairweathers that we had from season 1 have gone back into their dungeons, and some people are leaving the server. I am finding out manned in EB most of the day.
As a result of this; myself, and many of the other main commanders will be taking a break from wvw until the week before season starts. I will just be running some commander training etc. to try to get more ready for the season due to the fact that we have had several of people and a few guilds leave wvw, or the server as whole. So the new “buffed” AR is gone temporarily. Back to our old self. Enjoy the high ppt this week ET and DH.
But do not fret, hopefully we will be back on our game for season 2 in January(?). With the “buffed” AR back in action.
You know its like a big holiday week, right? If you have a larger name force other times than this week, don’t fret. As for season two there is no confirmation that there will be one. All Anet has said is that there won’t be another season in 2013…
AR = runs set builds = difficult to kill on my necro (because of lack of stability)
DH = runs random builds = easy to kill = has a lot of numbers.
My personal experience.
Uh.. last time I checked, necro had 2 elites that provide 30seconds of stability…
Also anbu mostly run builds that each one of us have perfected. Our newer anbu may run random builds but our core of WvW players are extremely difficult to beat.
Who’s the Darkhaven General, an Engineer wearing purple from [SotG].
The one that stands within range of 5 guards, or with 9 allies right behind him and won’t come forward for a 1v1. Just stands and /laughs.
The one that /laughs when he’s 10m from his own gate and castle and won’t come to 1v1 a solo Guardian with 300 ping, no allies behind, no guard or gate within 1000m.
I dare you to come 1v1, that means just you, no allies and no running back in range of guards during the fight.
I dare you to come and actually see a 1v1 through.
It’s a video game, dying means nothing. Stop running away, stop /laughing, you embarrass yourself as you don’t have the courage to even 1v1 in a game.
You can ask your mum to contact the doctor and get you a prescription for some testosterone injections if you really don’t have the stones for it.
I think I know who you are talking about LoL. I don’t know his character name though. Its Ron something, the 2nd word is spelled weird.
Bait them to use their breakers and burn down some of their initiative then try to longbow F1 immob with 5 and the combo field the small 3. Then they take massive DMG from my 100b.
ive got my chest piece on day 1, and i need 100 more dragonite for pants for piece 2. then i just need 2,000 more dragonite to completed the rest of my armor and then when that is done, anet will introduce the legendary trinkets.
Original gw1 gvg is 8v8. Why does everyone think its 15s and 20s?
Why would we need to try and follow the “GW1” way of GvG’ing?… This is GW2, with different combat mechanics. It would be cool to have a game mode for GW1 style GvG’s, but i personally like the 15v15 or 20v20 deathmatch.
way more strat involved in 8v8 than in a 20v20, the more numbers you have the less you really need to do. you can be way more sloppy and still win a 20v20.
I have my ascended chest piece and half of the mats for legs. Still need recipes for hat gloves boots shoulders. And the dragonite… oh the kittening dragonite…
builds in sig, i run the celestial build. they are essentially teh same, but if you dont have celestial, run the knights one in teh link below.
my guardians die before i do and im the 1st one in and the last one to die. balls deep in the enemy zerg or go home!
ive been playing around with rampage actually as my elite since im becoming the focus target for everything and it is really messing up enemy zerg might stacks.
Daoc stealth system was best. Perma stealth but once you put yourself into combat or you took damage from an aoe, you were removed from stealth and I believe there was a 45 second timer at minimum before you could re-stealth. So the stealth system would be better if it modelled daoc system. Perma and only reenter once you are out of combat ei when you can swap skills.
That would be such a nerf to thief. Because many of them are dead meat if they cannot stealth anymore. It would require a skill change because lots of the d/d damage is from hitting in stealth :/
Stealth does not change what happens when you press 2222222222222 it only changes the auto attack on skill 1 lead attack. If you ha e the ability to stealth you should be waiting and watching for the most opportune time to make your big sneak attack. Having played a stealth class main in every game prior to gw2 I feel safe to say that you should playing this way, lay in wait not 2222222 stealthlol 22222 stealthlol 222222 there go 3 ppl.

My point was and is, the “screw the small groups/roamers, basically anyone that doesn’t wanna ball up and play scoreboard/ppt” mentality is the reason why SF will not/does not get many transfers.
There are servers with Very High pops that even in bronze and silver get transfers. But on SF you have this mentality that gets published on these forums like: “our way or the highway”.
At the end of the day I only brought it up because you are more likely to get small guilds transfer down from higher tiers than you are to get 1 big oceanic guild. But when you say things like “we are getting rid of the solo people” it makes people think that all you do is zerg and to be on SF you have to zerg, etc.
Which is a bad way to entice people.
Well if we had somethign other than an 1800 gem cost for transfer, which is the same as the #1 rank, perhaps it would be different. 22$ per player to go play on a bronze tier server with a lack of coverage simply makes it a bad investment, especially when looking at the others with the same price. Its pointless to try and attract the solo player when we’re trying to build competent teams. I would rather fail then get a ton of people that just tell us to kitten off like the pugs do atm. When I want to play solo, I go here: http://www.lichess.org – you know, a game that is meant to be played solo…
Your statement is exactly SF’s problem.
Not everyone wants to join the zerg nor is the zerg only tactic a viable way to win as this season has proven to you.
WvW is won by zergs, smaller teams and solo roamers.
You need them all to win – not just one.
Your tunnel-visioned grasp on our problem being zerg has clouded your ability to see what the previous writer has said. There are merits to his mention at the prospects of transfers to our server being limited due to the cost. Why transfer to a bronze server when the cost to transfer to a silver or gold with better time coverage is the same. Therein is the nugget of truth that is worth the mention.
Small groups do have a place and I like to run solo camp captures as well but that is a minor element in our problem. It is not the single most damaging factor as you would have us believe. Lets look at a larger slice of the pie.
yesterday was my day off and i enjoyed the battles for bay in dh bl at the beginning of SF prime time. i havent gotten to face the true prime time force SF has this week. but i have gotten to battle with star and cosa at odd times. both star and cosa are formidable, star a little more so, but i guess that can be expected with the turmoil in cosa.
im not mad lol. why would i be mad? look at the scoreboard.
Hello zergling!
farthest thing from it lol
i only tag up after being relentlessly pm’d by multiple people to do so. i avoid it at all cost because its harder to run ninja-esque ops with more than 10 people.
