A little something we picked up from those tier 1 match ups we keep losing. Guess Zerg balling the map, always fighting under siege, and never engaging in any fight without a 5 to 1 advantage is rubbing off on our PuGs.

We can’t take credit for developing this tactic, that honor goes to SoR.

Lulz TC players have huge egos that don’t match their poor skill. It’s all fun and games when you beat up on T2 and T3 servers but the moment you guys face servers more organized than yours, you go QQ all over the forums.

Funny sounds just like SoR to me

Get your ears checked?

Working as fine as they ever have

I am guild leader of CNB. However i was not there. From what i have gathered members were being glitched in while hitting the gate. they did not leave yet did not capture the tower until the gate was down anyway? i understand your frustration as we have been victims of that exact same glitch but to come on here and trash talk ua is no way to solve this issue. My guild doesn’t hack and cheat look at all previous match ups with us and the good things people say…that’s not what we do. You can tell people to jump out all you want but you can not physically control them. Now that does not mean that everyone should just let this go. I will figure out who it was who did not jump right out and deal with it. Feel free to report it and i will do my best to talk with my member who did not jump out. We are not about that kind of stuff. I gigivee you my deepest apologies on behalf of my guild and hope you would not continue to badly judge my guild..because that is not who we are. Feel free to talk with me in game or whatever. Again i apologize and will be dealing with my members. Any other information can be brought to me directly. Thanks (:

It was admitted that CNB players attacked the lord before the gate was done- that is cheating. Period.

rofl blaming it on SoR….classic. Sorry we don’t spawn camp.
Show us on the doll where SoR touched u.

That is a lie, SoR spawned camp TC extensively the week of January 26th.

He wasn’t dying to NPCs, wat. It’s almost as if there were no people who were trying to defend that tower (for the record there were two of us and more entered). I thought the first person would jump out because he stood there for a while, then decided to hit things.

I didn’t know a “what in the hell” moment lasts more than a few minutes. It’s not difficult to tell your GUILDIES to “jump out pls” (random people I can understand, but that group was all CNB so rofl).

It’s okay to say “yes we decided to take advantage of the exploit”. Right now it really sounds that you are simply being dishonest.

oh cry me a river, you didnt have ppl to defend it anyways and, we took the gate down before killing the lord, it was a mistake, and hugh already apologized, we didnt even know there was a glitch there to begin with, it was at most 3 ppl that glitched in by mistake, until one necro feared us in, if u want to blame someone for so “all our group glitching in” blame the necro and Anet for not fixing it.

No, the people who glitched in should not have kept fighting inside- that was an exploit. They should have left the tower. There is no defending them.

so entire SoS guild(WHO WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO NAME) is so horrible they have to exploit into tc’s NW tower to even cap anything …. shows true skill .. no really being able to use a 3rd party program to jump into the gate .. awesome … i can guess chuck norris who isn’t back by the way will be very upset by the use of cheats

Hey TC, I was there when this happened. We were on the gate hitting it and a guildy was inside like what a mesmer clone does and we realised it was a warrior and we all laughed because he was dying to npc’s. We were all a bit like wtf how did you get in there and then a few more pvd’ing ended up inside. we were all like how the hell you getting here. While most of us were still hitting the gate. Looked on reddit and there is apparently a glitch that has been around for months with that tower where that same thing happens. We had 3 superior rams down and we ended up knocking the gate down anyways, we obviously had no intention or knowledge of this glitch. I understand the frustration and we aren’t the kind of people who would abuse that stuff because it’s unfair obviously. Some guildies ran to the lordsroom before the gate was down but I mean it was the heat of the moment and we were all thinking what the hell the whole time. So we apologize for that.

next time leave the tower and break the gate down- even damaging anything inside the tower using this is an exploit

This coming from a wagonbrander- hilarious.

He’s not a wagonbrander – He was on Dragonbrand from launch – like a lot of [EA]. Know your facts before you troll.

I call everyone from DB wagonbranders- Know your facts before you troll.

Someone is soooooooooooo mad.

Also 2 TCs= entire server apparently.

It is a valid concern albeit one i do not think would hold for the gw2 WvW community. I think in most cases the server with outmanned would trade stats for more players.

I think the only other remotely fitting thief weapons are off-hand torch and sword. I have always been in-favor of off-hand sword/torch for thieves.

TenVOL.9486:

Real class TC, building a treb above our spawn in EB bl to hit Mendon’s while we have the outmanned buff.

I’m not sure if that is an exploit but it is impressive. Kinda kitteny though.

Did SoS get a ton of transfers or did a few guilds leaving really gut us that badly during Oceanic/early SEA?

I have noticed TC does seem weaker than what we were up against in our previous encounter.

Yeah so weak! we’ve sat at 500+ ppt all day, I hope you like the rest of the week.

I’m not sure what exactly the point of your post is. The other night on EB, Oceanic time, we got wiped off the map. We had 5 or so players trying to back cap our stuff back. Given the numbers we use to have, that was pretty weak. We have lost a couple of guilds to the blobfest that is T1. The reality is there are many, many fairweathers on our server who don’t like hard fights. Please don’t patronise other servers by boasting about how strong we are. The reality is that when the going gets tough many TC’ers get going to pve or where ever.

^ this- other servers could learn from this as well.

Really…you match DB….after it’s exodus….with TC….and SoS…

I was rooting for Mags or SBI to get the 6th spot….now even when we get rolled we are going to gain glicko because of your dumb system. Great job….grade A for moving 4 tiers with TC!!! Congrats!!!

Bro didn’t you hear? Wagonbrand is going to take T1 by storm, of course it should be matched up with servers like TC, and with servers like FA,JQ,BG, and SoR.

To those two thieves running from a 1v2 and spamming /laugh, lmfao.

At least we can roam is packs of less than 5-10 (this is the typical case with SoR as i very rarely run into roamers of less than 5). Take some lessons from JQ before you pass judgement on roamers- SoR from all of my encounters runs unless they outnumber you greatly.

SoR also could take some lessons in behavior. This forum all week has been plagued with their kitten and tantrums. Too hard to white knight when you are winning SoR? SoRe losers and SoRe winners.

I try not to get mixed up in this forum drama, but come off it, I have seen more then enough TC run away from me this week then I can count, and I run a two man group. I won’t speak for everyone on my server and it would be a good idea if you don’t either.

Didn’t say i speak for my server, get over yourself.

Excalibur.9748:

how many guilds did TC lose? Can you list them?

As far as I know, TC only list ZN (To get back with guilds they had played with a long time ago) and WvW (not sure of their reasons), and I believe both went to BG. TC did lose some individual players (not a lot) to JQ, but thats it.

We lost [WvW] to JQ as well.

You also lost most of RE, a bunch of CERN, and other mixed players, and they weren’t “bought” they just had their transfers payed for, we wanted to go there. I tried and tried to get TC to recruit, when guilds were moving and other servers were recruiting, I told TC that they needed to recruit, and they said it was not a good idea, that they could handle it, that the militia would step up, and the pve crowd would show up and help out, LMAO, well, look what happened, hope your pve militia shows up for our matchup.

You are being dishonest and i am glad your true character is showing- i think you will find it more welcome on JQ. TC doesn’t care too much for revisionist history and martyrdom.

Melchiorus.4678:

Yeah, it’s pretty low to say that another guild is “the easiest to wipe” when they’ve had many fights against your server mates and won. There are no guilds that we’ve fought during our time zone that can say “We never lose to Choo”. It’s easy to say things, but if you could prove your “facts” maybe then I’d listen to your obvious bias. You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about with regard to our open field strategy, maybe you should hop servers and run with us for a bit? You could probably learn something. I don’t know though, maybe during MERC’s Time Zone when there are 5 Choo on we’re easy to wipe. Somebody sounds pretty rustled, maybe you should try taking a couple sedatives and lay down for a bit.

As for the majority of BG who aren’t irrelevant like this guy, thanks for the fights this week. We’ve really been enjoying fighting guilds like ONS and KnT this week, always a pleasure to engage in the field and a tip of the hat to you for bringing the tough fights. Hopefully we see you all next week for some more fights.

Someone seems salty

for dungeons i carry a sword,dagger, shortbow, and 2 pistols.

plan to swap between weapons sets to suit the needs of an encounter. Heal often- if using pistol signet of malice can give you very sustainable health. I wear a pvt,knights, valk gear mix with zerker weapons and accesorries and run a 0/30/0/25/15 build.

Use a damage food to compensate somewhat.

Positioning and knowledge of enemy abilities will save you. Move to avoid damage often- always be repositioning.

For certain mechanics swap utilities, ala scorpion wire to interrupt or smoke screen to deal with projectiles.

for
1. we don’t have to but it makes things easier imo, positioning is king though
2. SA and acro have very useful passive healing traits, trickery also has escape traits in the adept slot

I love the ruins but the bloodlust mechanic needs to be revised as well as there needs to be better rewards for playing in the ruins.

I would leave the bloodlust alone…

But putting some kind of reward in the middle of those 5 circles might be a good idea…perhaps a champion (for champion loot) or a ‘mini’ boss? Something that gives loot anyway and the ruins would be very popular…

a once per day huge reward chest that you get the key from killing players and taking keeps?

WE DON’T KNOW!

ArenaNet has acknowledged that their story is poorly communicated. They wish to fix this and are trying by implementing new methods to disseminate information to layers. Traditional style quests exist in the game but as with other games, unless you shove the info down people’s throats, the details get lost. Here is hoping that what they have in mind will pull more players into the living story and show them the oddity and glamour of tyria.

Have No Faith In Me.1840:

(hahahahahaha.)

Well this just proves that nobody plays/fights around the ruins.

This new 0/5 ruins captures daily is proof that ANet’s bloodlust idea is a failure and they’re trying to force a few people to go to the area.

If the above was not true, the daily would of been in effect from day 1 of bloodlust, not 2 weeks into it.

GG ANet, just remove the bloodlust and ruins, thank you. The players have spoken.

Dailies often come for objectives later on unless they are used for specific meta credit.

The achievement as i can tell is to reward players who already fight in the ruins by easing their achievement of their daily. No player would use the daily as an incentive to go into an area they despise, dailies are too easy to do in too many ways to do that.

Plenty of people fight in the ruins; i certainly do everyday.

The ruins are a great addition to the game and you would do well to separate your bias against the bloodlust buff and whether or not the ruins are of quality- as it seems now you are conflating the two.

I agree world ranker should be one level, but i think the master of the ruins daily is fine. It wasn’t difficult to complete per-say and i got some good fights from it.

Mordalus.8146:

I hate Anet’s philosophy to make encounters frustrating and annoying instead of difficult. Why can’t we have difficult and fun instead of frustrating and not fun?

Idk, i had fun with the entire path (save final boss) and i found parts of it to be difficult in the proper way ie having to learn from queues, anticipate abilities, respond quickly, control group movement to mitigate abilities, use support healing and blinds, do LoS pulls

You really hate anything that takes even a little bit of skill/teamwork dont you, hehe, stay in pve buddy.

Cause you know facts mean you hate teamwork. This is why there is no reasonable discussion to be had with the “GvG crowd”

Cause you know, siege war is so much more reasonable. Sitting back with twice the numbers on higher elevation so you can treb without being countered. So interesting. And PPT is totally an accurate method of evaluating skill, nothing to do with coverage.

See my point exemplified once again. To say that coordinating a ppt based initiative is less of a teamwork effort than fighting with your guild is woefully ignorant and one of the reasons GvGers come across as petulant, unreasonable, and elitist.

Ghoward.1306:

The only way to fix this problem is by letting the community decide who are good or not at commanding. So… we can either let it flow as it currently is (letting the people decide who to follow in the long term) or making the same thing faster.

My suggestion is to create a pin blocking option, which allows anyone to disable a commanders pin on their own screen for a month. I am not talking about letting people ban a commander completely, but about letting the people block the commander just like they block a spammer. It should last a week/month or so, as some people will ban a commander at the first mistake and we don’t want good commanders to be ignored, do we?

Joining the squad of another commander blocks other pins

JPM.3541:

Solstice.1097:

experienced players know who the experienced commanders are

However I would be in favor of commanders being able to “nominate” each other for bigger and better titles.

Originally my idea was change commander to “General” and all General tag purchases come with a 1-time consumable that if you are in a squad and use it, it gives a “vote” to the General whose squad you are in.

As you gain votes your title and icon progresses

5 votes = commander
10 votes = veteran commander
25 votes = legendary commander

**Possible twist to this – those with votes to their tag CAN if they choose give their votes to other commanders – when in their squad you can click a button that gives 1 of your votes to them.

just some of my thoughts.

OH i do know wich ones are good or wich ones are NOT.
But that doesnt make any change, they still tag up.

Also is not about just experienced players, opposite to that is even more important for new players who are learning, training and need a good reference to follow.

Its a good idea about vote… but i think… its that going to help? or most populated GUILDs will take over just becuase numbers?

Its pretty much also whats is happening, so still no related to personal experience.

But is cool, i didnt think about that, sure can be another approach to try something here with votes.

I will also say that though i often lead without a tag, tagging up and taking over a map is an entirely different game. The only good way to get better at commanding a whole map is to start commanding a whole map or rise up through the ranks of a large guild.

Shelledfade.6435:

myself and 4 other randoms beat it. We weren’t exactly a dream team but yeah… I have a few things to say about this dungeon.

I won’t do this path again, just like I only did f/u path before it was removed one time only.

The very first boss encounter “SPARK AND SLICK” is the hardest encounter in the entire dungeon, the other bosses didn’t even compare to it.

In fact is, the only way my group beat spark and slick was by somehow pulling spark out of the doorway and we ranged him down and it died, then we were ported inside after that and we killed slick when it was by itself, otherwise I don’t know how you’re actually supposed to beat that because its way too difficult.

Regardless… at the very end the reward was bad and there is a chest underneath the water in the dungeon after you beat last boss, only apparently you have a limited amount of time to get to (or something??) because when we found it, it was blocked and we couldn’t access it.

This dungeon, despite the ridiculously annoying ooze sync and the asininely annoying electric floor puzzle thing… was decent. I mean, it wasn’t that it was difficult, it was the fact that it was ANNOYING and I do not understand why the first boss encounter was the HARDEST. Why is the first boss harder than the last boss I don’t get it. The last boss was a joke all we did was stand there and melee him and then back off when he was invincible, rinse and repeat.

Incredibly lame though that we could not get the last chest because it was blocked for some reason, the one that was under the water. Very lame. took like 3-4 hours to beat that and yeah…. I won’t do it again because the reward isn’t worth the effort.

Even if I had an organized team on VOIP I don’t think I would do this dungeon. That first boss encounter (spark/slick) is way too hard. I got lucky by somehow pulling only 1 boss at the doorway while the other stayed behind. We could not beat that part legitimately and it was way harder than any other boss in the dungeon… I wonder if they even playtested this because I don’t understand why the first boss was the hardest. Please PLAY TEST your own dungeon….!

The reward for doing this was not worth the effort at all. Especially when the kitten chest in the water was BLOCKED….. awesome.

stay stacked up on boss 1, the oil will always fall on group and quickly be eaten by ooze, keep kiting, kill slick first. Sparki will do damage to you if you stop moving after slick dies so split up and kite the ooze and you range sparki down- took 1 try with this method and was ridiculously easy.

How the heck this is p2win? it is not like you can buy ascended weapon from Gem store…

Convert to gold ! Doh

You realize that buying gems to turn into gold to then buy ascended moves that gold into the hands of other players right? It is not pay to win regardless of that point though. You are grasping for straws.

Daecollo.9578:

It needs nerfed in so many ways if your going to add this to a rotation, it is way to hard risk vs reward and needs toned down in a lot of small ways.

Otherwise, people will do it once and never come back again.

The hardest thing about the dungeon was finding out the intended strategies. After my group understood an encounters mechanics we finished them with ease.

I did it in a guild group.

I liked the ooze mechanic for kiting into the gear.
First boss was great and a joy to beat.
Trash and using mobs to destroy their spawners was good.
2nd boss was very traditional for mmos and felt nostalgic and fun.
Security room puzzle was annoying but interesting.
Final boss has cool mechanics but very very annoying placement. The room feels cluttered and small and many in my group had terrain glitches.

Overall i’d give the dungeon a 8/10 and will probably continue to run it. It is a good permanent addition to the game.

JPM.3541:

I do have xtreme hours on WvW too so this is why im droping this.

But there is not actually another way to show your time spended in WvW than RANK. So i dont see why this is not good measurement.

Is better to leave this system without filter? why whould be not good rank? if they spend hours there…and i mean alot of months to get their ranks we should respect that.
Edit here: And how is better work with low rank commander instead this idea?

I dont believe that a small groups/farmers or whatever will get to rank 400 and doesnt learn anything.

And also believe that is not the way you will get to 400. If you reach 400 im sure you did alot more than farm sentry or small things…. and i mean alot.

400 rank is not a few weeks reach, so i still belive this is a great idea since WvW experiences is rank based.

Totally make sense to me.

Rank is still not a GOOD way of showing time invested that is the problem. Experience should play a role in deciding commanders, but your suggestion does not fufill that need adequately.

Cause you know more rewards are so much worse than no rewards. Rewarding ppt play i think is a positive thing as far as the format goes; balancing between servers though casts it in a presently negative light. The chests for winning a week need to be a source of WvW finishers, armor, and weapons.

JPM.3541:

Guys are you real? commandr over 300rank or 400rank is the same for you as one as rank70?
Im mean really…it has alot to do with leadership and skills because you have to spend alot of hours to get a higher rank like this.

So its has alot to do!

I agree on colours, thats could be a good option.

Colors are a good option; my main isn’t rank 400 but i have put in more hours scouting, tailing zergs, defending, and zerging on alts than most people around 400 so should i not be allowed to command?

Ruins aren’t awesome. Not in T1. This concept of PPT is too old, I see many guilds that wants to improve their skill but it is hard with this current meta.

Ruins are plenty awesome in T1, i find good fights there every night as a roamer. PPT works fine, the issue is server balance and rewards. And it is hard to improve with the current meta? Try to fight instead of running away.

I second what Courin has stated and would like to add my own confirmation to what she said.

The Anet person in question is one of the most dedicated, passionate people I know when it comes to this game. I mean, I’m super dedicated to the game and he honestly puts me to shame in comparison.

Having had the pleasure to play the game with him and get to know him I’ve been watching this thread with horror because he’s literally the last person to deserve to be dragged through the mud. He’s a lovely, kindhearted and fun person that I’m honored to know and people in this thread are making complete incorrect assumptions about him.

Having watched the video myself all I see, knowing him is someone who tried to find out what was going on. Then got verbal abuse thrown at him and then tried to defuse the situation using his tag. Unfortunately this was taken completely the wrong way and blown way out of proportion.

I can guarantee he meant well and to be honest I feel he was correct in trying to resolve the situation at hand. He made some small mistakes in the way he did which then got woefully misinterpreted, blown out of proportions and all this hatred towards him is seriously undeserved no matter who he is or what he does.

This whole ordeal reminds me of an angry incoherent mob with their pitchforks and torches ready to lynch someone over the slightest thing despite said person being innocent of all the unrelated accusations/complaints being made in regards to GvG/WvW which he is not responsible for.

Also. As Courin said, I’m not speaking on this persons behalf. I just can’t stand seeing people wrongly accuse someone whose kind and whom I consider a friend.

I understand peoples frustration in regards to the GvG/WvW subject but that’s no excuse for this public lynching of a single unrelated person. Secondly to those people who keep demanding GvG. What do you expect them to do? Magically pull a whole new game mode out of thin air?

GvG is done by a minority of players. Anet is a business. If they do decide to implement GvG it would be out of love for their playerbase as they certainly wouldn’t make money out of it and if anything loose money as they’d have to pay a team to build it. Such a process would take a long time that is if they even will.

So, have some patience and see what happens in a year or two. And maybe if you’d ask nicely instead of throwing abuse at Anet they’d be more likely to consider it.

If you really hate the game so much if there is no GvG then perhaps you should play something else in the meantime till they do instead of spamming livestream chats, making demands and constantly creating a negative and toxic environment in the community. You’re just making it less likely anything will happen and just annoy people in the process by being rude.

No matter how nice you think on that person, he kittened up and he deserve to be kittened. Just because he was nice before doesn’t mean he can make a mistake that everyone can let it go. Don’t let that “friend” title cloud your judgement.

No instead he should be defamed and people should attack him. Friendship bias is bad but bias at the other end of the spectrum needs to go too.

The point is the dev is at wrong, he had send someone else to apologize on behalf of him(clearly not sincere), and this guy still trying to say he is not wrong. If everyone just agree that what he did is wrong, then that is the end of the line.

But not everyone agrees that he was wrong. And it isn’t a rare practice for a higher up to do the PR when someone under them screws up.

And will you agree that the players were in the wrong cause they obviously were.

Xom.9264:

Agree or dont agree with GvGs but that facts are plain. Both guilds and all the people that came to watch the GvG got trolled by an Anet dev its going to be a long time for Anet to live that one down….. its not the first time an Anet dev has trolled the GvG community they have been doing it for sometime with mocking remarks and posts.

It sure would be great if Anet would just man the kitten up and either ban all GvGers, but that wont happen because its not Anet policy to troll players.

Its just a few rogue devs causing problems starting fights with GvGers because they are not playing ‘My gamemode right’.

Seriously? Mocking? Ban all GvGers? You can’t be seriously posting this kitten?

I second what Courin has stated and would like to add my own confirmation to what she said.

The Anet person in question is one of the most dedicated, passionate people I know when it comes to this game. I mean, I’m super dedicated to the game and he honestly puts me to shame in comparison.

Having had the pleasure to play the game with him and get to know him I’ve been watching this thread with horror because he’s literally the last person to deserve to be dragged through the mud. He’s a lovely, kindhearted and fun person that I’m honored to know and people in this thread are making complete incorrect assumptions about him.

I’m disappointed to see how vicious some people are being.

How in the world can you defend what this guy did. He was standing in the middle of the two opposing guilds. It has been clear that this is a GvG, no way to misinterpret the situation. He was asked to leave, he did not. One of the guilds chased him off a bit but even did not kill him, he returned and interfered again. After that the Raidlead started to call him Names and then the Dev started to show his Tag. But not to calm things down, he just wanted to show who has the bigger kitten and to troll people. To be honest i am surprised how nice the community was to this guy under the given circumstances, in europe when such things happen these motherkitteners will get killed over and over until they leave when they can not behave themselfes. Maybe this guy is the nicest person in the world but on that special occasion he acted exactly like the raidlead called him.

It’s not vicious behavior when you set it as your baseline…..
