Fixing the 100+ bugs we have and reassessing the HPs of all classes would be a good start.
Fiery Greatsword becomes unusable in PvP and wvw. There you have Elemental or bust.
You would think Anet would realise something is wrong when Elementalists when we all want a normal skill over the so-called Elite one.
Totally agreed. I was going to make a similar thread about how the Attunement recharge bonus is the main problem of the class, and needs to be baked-in and replaced, but alas, I was suspended.
It is absolute prime Oceanic time right now, Kurthos.
The time SoS falls is the deadzone between Oceanic and US time. SoR seem to have a large presence then, and everything falls very quickly.
the other team can also counter that, if they know when it’s gonna happen. Point being, people are losing tons of their own money on siege that just gets wiped out whenever Anet feels like doing it without any advanced notice.
Either keep the gear we placed post-reset, or give us more notice. I also feel dirty when we manage to hold on to a keep when we shoulda lost it, but the reset hits mid-siege…ugh. They just don’t make water hot enough to clean that off…
It is physically impossible for Oceanic players to counter this, unless you have some new FTL internet we can use :P
Advance notice is a horrible idea for wvw.
If they give advance notice, then players can amass golem armies, and then the moment servers come up zerg all the things.
Which is why WvW needs to be frozen for 15-30 minutes after each patch.
^ never even thought of that.
Yeah that’s pretty bad.
It was pretty lame of anet. We finally download the patch and get in, only to see that our points have gone from 600 – 50 – 0 or whatever, to 50 – 600 – 0, and all our upgrades are gone. After seeing that, most Oceanic players just said screw it and did the Halloween event.
They are also far too susceptible to hackers, etc.
Agreed. They also need to freeze WvW for 15-30 mins after each patch is released, to allow people to actually login, etc. This patch completely shafted Oceanic players, because we download much slower than the US players. Going to having virtually everything, to having nothing due to worse net connection/distance is absolutely ridiculous.
Well being Oceanic, it took us a lot longer to get back into the game when the patch was released. When we finally got in, we saw all our gains killed by Anet’s lack of foresight, so we mostly went and did the Halloween event.
Now if Anet had thought this through, and had frozen WvW for 15-30 mins, I doubt SoR would have been able to come back without tranfers.
IMHO Low IQ prevents capture…that’s fo darn sure.
Stop w/ the thief witch hunt b/c you fellas are getting out played. There are other classes that put thieves to shame….they just don’t have the word “thief”, “assassin”, or “stealth” in their names/descriptions.
There are Mesmers and Thieves. Then there is daylight. Then more daylight. Yet more daylight. Then everyone else.
Like all things Thief, is broken and OP in WvW.
The bored Blackgate players transfer to SoR for a few days to ruin tier 3 as well. At least SoR are paying them, though.
SoR has a guild called Kiwi, btw.
Spamming Vulnerability seems to be the best option, now that bleeds last 1/10h the duration.
Aren’t you the guild that use thief skills to bypass tower/keep wall?
Just wondering.
And that would explain why you want to make a full Thief guild.
Full thief guild bypassing a wall with stealth = ouch
Why yes. Yes they are.
I am pretty sure there is an internal cooldown on combo finishers in combo fields Arcanorum Ignis. But I am not 100% sure. Casting both the arcane blast and wave at the same time do not provide both combo finisher buffs. Although, if I am wrong, then I guess we can add that to the list of bugs.
Arcane Blast is a projectile finisher or whatever it is called. Its combo finisher is to stack Vulnerability on the target.
Some attacks do not proc, or proc what they already cause. It does work for others, though.
Overall, it probably is bugged.
i’ve been on SoS since day 1, and this is the first real match up we’ve had. Most previous matches were complete steamrolls (both ways) or PVDoor for oceanic times. This is our first real test and while we may be still learning the level of commitment required to be serious wvwers, I am proud SoS hasnt rolled over and given up despite the bad halloween event timing.
These fights are long term and you cant keep it up 100% every day, so thanks to all the SoS for keeping trying and to SoR for giving us some determined competition.
You can keep up 100% presence every day, if you have a little gold and bored tier 2 players. Right SoR? :P

Final ghost is also bugged like this.
Please fix this. An entire server cannot complete it.
This is on Sea of Sorrows server. There are many people waiting inside the crypt for the ghost to spawn, only to see him spawn every million years, then despawn instantly before activating his event. Please fix this.
And yeah, the restart and patch really hurt us. Takes us longer to download, and we lost our forward footing.
Also, SoR have somehow got another huge surge of transfers, from God knows where. Maybe those bored kittens from tier 2 came back to ruin the match again.
Wonder if the patch fixed anything? I know this sounds pessimistic, but the patch probably increased the number of bugs…
And surprise surprise, the only profession that has gotten a clear buff in this patch still attracts whiners.
What a stupid thing to say. You have to look at classes in relation to each other. You cannot just say ‘dey gotz buffs must be gud lol u complan!’
And surprise surprise, making this even more a melee class, i believe the first expansion pack either releases a proper elementalist with a different name or looses popularity quite fast.
Staff and Scepter (but especially Staff) left in the gutter as usual.
Can you people just stop being so pessimistic? They buffed like 6 skills on dagger/dagger and put elementalists from having the worst downed state to one of the best (on paper). Major demands like larger angles for cone attacks have been met. You want them to fix every single build/weapon set in a single swoop? Lol.
Of course people want that. Sure, it is not feasable (probably), but some would like to see them try. Also if the 100+ bugs we have s till there, then…
I hope they also fixed some of the bugs.
Ring of Earth change sounds nice.
Are there also bug fixes listed? And OMG this patch is huge.
Whirlpool is still great in PvE for taking out groups…as long as you can live through the damage that is.
Yes, he can transmute. But if the Nightmare set has the stats he wants, why not buy the right piece?
Agreed. Sharing low power among 20 skills is not fun.
Actually, the gold to gem transfer rate right now is absolutely horrendous.
So you believe your analogy was relevant, when what you do in war is completely different to what you do in GW2, especially with regard to supplies? Instead of relevant, you should use ridiculous. It is far more relevant.
Once again your point completely fails because you asked the guy what would you do in a war, and spoke of regiments. If you want to talk about what you would do in GW2 then fine, do it. But stop talking about war.
From what i understand it’s not even guilds that have ‘organised’ to move over. It’s a bunch of people from the T2 matchup which is a complete blow out, coming over just for the week to have some fun.
However they just ended up ruining one of the most balanced matchups there was this week, as well as skewing the rankings for next week, which will be competely broken when they transfer back to their ‘home’ servers.
Those…people…should have joined CD, if they wanted to make this fight better.
What the hell are you talking about Eisenhart? You asked ‘if you were in a war, would you send an entire regiment to take a supply?’ Of course you would. Because in a war, the supply would be heavily defended, and without that supply you DIE. Your GW2 rant is meaningless.
Dolyaks are meant to be do-able goals in solo or two-person groups, along with the sentries.
This is to give achievable goals to small / unaffiliated groups (who might otherwise miss out), while giving them the feeling that they’re helping (and that they are, as those Dolyaks are <3).
I believe that was already pointed out by the developers in a previous post.
Plus, c’mon. If you were in a war, would you send a whole regiment just to stop supply chains? No, you’d use small, agile teams that can hit and run, and lay traps / ambushes.
Of course you would send a whole regiment. That is how wars are won.
Thieves have OP damage and stealth, which combined with the game not rendering them = death.
What is the score? :P
Ascii, what items did you use to get The Legend? 4 rare staves?
If you have no trouble making money than why is this a issue? I only make 5-6g a day & have full T3.
Only?? How the hell do you make so much gold in a day?
He does that by lying.
I hope the costumes are not in the chest as well.
I am trying to access this bugged temple as well. I have never been able to get in. I am from Sea of Sorrows btw, which makes you two my enemies. Sorry about tht.
I have never seen this not bugged on Sea of Sorrows. Legends are told of a time when it was accessable, but I do not believe them.
SoS is also doing this. Unfortunately some of our Oceanic players do not speak English as their first language, so they run around yelling ‘SUPPORT BREAST CANCER!’
Of course children are are going to blame entire servers for 1 person. It’s great. It’s practically racism lol…
Have fun losing I guess.This entire week’s score has been ruined by hackers. What exactly do you expect people to say?
Some people don’t like things to be called the way they are.
To me, the sad part about it is… (speaking honestly) SoR would be beating my server even without the hacking. From what I can tell, their numbers and hourly coverage is superior to ours.
Too bad it only takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch.
I agree that they would most likely be winning anyway, but all the fun and life was sucked out of the matches when all the orbs and altars were hacked. When the battles were so amazingly close as they were in the beginning, someone ‘acquiring’ all 3 orbs is the breaking point.
Also it was actually CD who hacked all 3 orbs in the first day, then lost them to SoR. SoR just hacked to keep them and destroy altars.

Maguuma actually gave us the orbs back, when one of them hacked it. They also reported the hacker, etc. This was even with them losing so heavily.
SoR on the otherhand, treat the incidents like they are Castro getting a trillion dollar note from Mr. Burns.
