It is people like you that make us want to build more quarantine zones around Maguuma spawnpoints.

The funny thing about this statement is I’m one of those guys that spent more time in the Alamo and Pangloss then I care to share. The Maguumans you seem to like so much, I am one of them.

Those ‘facilities’ are meant for people like the guy above, who tells us to leave the US servers because we are ruining them, and go play on the Oceanic servers.

zastari.1730:

SoS has lost the scoreboard up until now but they haven’t been losing. I work graveyard and I was out each day last week during the SoS zerg. It was 30 SoS autoattacking a door with no ram while the two Mag that were there were manning the catapult and arrow cart left in the castle to try to delay the braindead zerg. Those people have never actually had competition and I can assure you that a lot of the pubbies are going to pick up and leave once those doors start attacking back.

I get the feeling that oceanic SoS has never actually seen competition.

Oh yeah, I so believe you.

I am the nominated spokesperson for SoS, yes.

Someone from Maguuma is talking to us about nightcapping…because the predominantly Oceanic server has not lost to nightcapping every single week since the game was released, so we have no idea what it is.

Here is news for you, buddy. Due to how timezones and WvWvW work, EVERY SINGLE MATCH was, until this week, a hellish nightmare that was majorly stacked against us. Because we effectively go to bed 8 hours after the US, so when they get it, it means that we always have to start the crossover peak time at a massive disadvantage. They will own everything, and have all the orbs, which means we have to fight uphill to take anything. After they go to bed, we now have only the 8 hours they sleep, before we have to sleep. The whole thing was extremely painful for us, so DO NOT talk to us about losing to nightcapping.

Oh, one other thing: if both the US servers we were facing were good, we could actually be at an advantage, as they would split the map for 12 hours or so. However, every darn time, one of the US servers would fail us. For example, last week Maguuma failed us.

Sharpclaw.7510:

Wait, wait, wait, wait. RUN already left SoS?

Who?

They felt people were acquiring badges too quickly, so they disabled…sorry, I could not keep it up. They really need to fix this, seeing how freaking hard it is to get badges even with the puzzles.

Renegret.3564:

I don’t get it with the rage over Dragon timers.

You guys are judging an entire server over the actions of a single person.

I, too, can overgeneralize a server made up of thousands of people based off a single individual.

Not a single person, and the people doing it are posting about getting revenge for WvWvW.

But yes, your point is still valid and I will stop bringing it up. It is just that Maguuma were trying to attract some Oceanic players to be more competitive, while at the same time undermining themselves with actions like this.

SoS beat you easily last week as well, Maguuma, and you can hardly say people transferring to us are joining the winning team or ‘fairweather zerging’ seeing as we have not moved from 10th for ages, and our only significant movement until now was to drop places. We have been advertising for US and Canadian assistence for a long time, and we were one of the first victims of the free transfer WvWvW flaw, when a major WvWvW guild transferred IN THE MIDDLE OF BATTLE, to the very world we were currently fighting.

As for ‘sore winners’ it is more likely you are projecting your own sore loser attitude onto us. I mean, really, sabotaging Dragon timer sites? Planning sit-ins on the SoS server? Transferring to SoS to clog our queues and afk? These reek of a sore loser.

GOOD WILL SQUANDEREREDED! :()

Through, not threw. You are not doing your case any favours but constantly saying threw.

If they changed this, they would have to make higher ground actually mean something for non-rangers.

Jedahs.2713:

You sure we exploited? Perhaps it’s just a minor glitch with the game.

I seriously don’t see any reason why someone from SoS would purposely exploit at this moment….

Someone else from his server who was there said it was Mesmer portalled in mass golems.

There needs to be a mercy rule

sarah xiii.3905:

It says they have our garrison….but we still have the orb? makes no sense whatsoever. 10 seige golems running around too… but you can’t say golems are an exploit/hack…they just spent lots of gold to stomp us?

Oh, that bug again. Seems more like SoS got screwed.

You sure it was hacks, and not a mesmer portal?

Can you Maguuma players please stop changing our Dragon timers on the site SoS uses? We SoS players actually had a lot of respect for you, as your pvpers are crazy determined, very organised in small groups, and never afraid to attack superior numbers. This is why we always hit you HARD at the start, to demoralise you, so we can focus on the other guy. So please do not squander our good will, especially if you are trying to build a 24/7 competitive WvWvW server.

Intigo.1653:

ArenaNet should take more balance suggestions from people who have played a class to level 28.

Is there a way to downvote posts?

Rezo.4815:

You can get up to 33% increased movement speed, meaning you can never go over swiftness speed.
They are working properly you just cant stack them all at once.

This is incorrect. Windborne Dagger and One With Air do not wotk AT ALL.

I really cannot blame you. The (increasing) number of bugs is ridiculous, and the elementalist playstyle at 80 can be summed up with one word: buffbot. Well, maybe two words joined :P

It is easily the best wvwvw weapon.

No, they are not fine. However, neither is your example.

Windborne Dagger and One with Air do not work.

Kreit.4709:

Lava font has 4 sec CD. When you switch attunement, you get 15 sec CD. So your DPS is greatly reduced for 11 seconds if you have 20 or more points in fire. This is because most traits are specialized and support only one attunement. And all traits for attunement swap are arcane, but arcane tree doesn’t provide any stats, so it’s almost useless for DPS build.
So attumenet swap is needed when it’s dinamic boss fight and you need buffs from attunement switch. But switch when you need high DPS for standing target is just pointless.

Or 9 seconds if you’re spec’d properly into arcane. Eruption does well over 10k damage in 6 seconds and is a blast finisher which is vastly superior to standing there derping it out in fire.

See, this is the problem with our trees. ‘Mandatory 30 arcane points’. It is ridiculous.

Because our traits are poorly designed, and Arcane becomes mandatory for switching. Also, how would switching to earth save someone, if they have no points in earth? Did I miss some innate toughness or something? You need 5 points in it for the massive (lol) 1 toughness per level. I guess they could have the protection on Earth attunement trait.

AinSoph.5063:

Uh, are you implying no one from SoS every flew around and yanked the orbs? Because we’ve got plenty of screenshots and videos of multiple people from multiple guilds.

Don’t fall off your high horse.

but good luck in the future! It was a decently fun matchup.

Yeah, I know they did. But comparing them to GoM or FA, is like comparing a candle to the sun.

Chaokel.5916:

They don’t understand that they are doing to us what we are to them.

Aparently the world (vs world) only revolves around when they sleep, and when they cap all our stuff with no resistance its because they are awesome, yet clearly if someone else was to do it they are just taking it from ‘sleeping babies’.

Try to look outside your own view of the world for once and you might actually see the big picture (you know the one that includes other people).

edit: to the poster above me, if you have been in any SoS thread you would see that people complain about it every single matchup.

Until now, every single match WAS actually stacked against us, because of the timezone difference. The difference is around 16 hours, which really hurt Oceanic players because of how capping and orbs work in this game. If the time difference was 12 hours, it would be dead even, but it is not.

Now that we also have a strong non-Oceanic presence as well, we are most likely favoured.

Rabh.2493:

Oh looks like you were busy while we were all asleep like usual, time to wake up and take most of it back. Thanks for never bothering to upgrade anything, makes our day shift go alot easier. Plus we get keeps full of supply ready for upgrading.

I think you fail to understand what is going to happen now. SoS will hold everything, always. We have 24/7 wubwub now, and the Gates of Madness and Fort Aspenwood hackers are not here to steal our wins this week. So unless Dragonbrand are also a bunch of hackers like FA and GoM, this match is already over.
