Guild Wars 2

Id agree with you bro, but in higher tiered servers, the queue times would be much longer :c

SoR wins the hardest fights during NA prime to stay in T1 you gotta respect that, so we have plenty respects for TW.

Eh I’d say its more like SoR and their massive zerg balls are able to wipe half the BG on map while the other half are busy with JQ. Relying on knowing JQ would rather have BG points, and kicking BG while they are down is in no way winning the hardest fights.
GG for basically competing against only 1 enemy in a 3 way fight.

Anywho, good times in BG BL tonight.

Awesome fights tonight in BG BL against GoF and co. I think we cleared the BG zerg around 7-8 times at NW tower before we finally wiped.

Overall good fights BG/JQ lets do it again sometime.

Throw me a mail in game, as I’m currently on my phone. I would love to speak with you and tell you about my guild

How to take hills from an outmanned buffed team: about 30 gold worth of golems.

wait that didn’t work either. back to the drawing board guys.

Didnt realize that AC’s would melt golems in literally 5 seconds now. Almost had it, oh well!

Thanks for the good fights on BG BL and EB tonight, we had fun!

Score update from anyone for those at work

Score update for those at work.

JQ is like the calm before a storm. Also SoR, can you do something about your ppt. We need to do our best to prevent DB from ever coming into T1 no matter how much i would love whipping raw

Lend us 10,000g so we can outbid BG for all those SEA guilds they paid for.

So basically with my 12-15 man group last night we were able to (while outmanned) use a simple guild siege golem to bust into SMC courtyard before the white swords came up, and then throw down a superior ram on inner with the golem to get to lords before JQ was able to respond.

Then we were able to portal the golem to Durios and take that before BG could respond, then attempt to port to bravost to take that.. Then we were able to portal to BG watergate and take down their keeps watergate and move to inner gate where the BG Zerg wiped us.

Now tell me. If a group of 12-15 is able to do this relatively easily, how are these new updates fair? I don’t want to be on the receiving end of losing a few towers because either they were taken too quickly, or because the scout in that tower fell asleep because its too kitten boring sitting in towers all day..

The only positive I see out of this is that it makes small team play viable and allows them the opportunity to take towers before zergs respond. This is great and all but nobody is going to quit their silly Zerg play anytime soon.

Was a pretty fun little ninja of SMC with my 12-15 man group.

I was in EB at the time and I don’t recall SM getting flipped by SoR, but it does sound lulzy!

HL is a great guild and they do extremely well with the numbers they have :P

We only had it for one tick, we didnt plan on defending it. We took our little squad to DG and Bravost to have a go at those :P

What’re you trying to show us in that first picture? I don’t see any indication of the arrow cart’s range in it.

Isaac.6041:

- But now you need to build siege fast or else the build site disappears in 2 min

I think it will only despawn if nobody puts any supply into it for two minutes. As long as some supply goes in it it shouldn’t despaw.

It didnt come up in the screenshot, but the center of the circle is a little past the NPCs on the ground

Updates for the AC and whatnot

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Siege-Despawn-Tower-Defense-AC-Update-Pics/first#post1928585

Also, a picture of the siege timer (right above siege name)

1) All siege now despawns in 30 minutes, so there is no point to sieging towers or keeps unless you have scouts refreshing siege every 30 minutes.

2) Couple that with no white swords for 30 seconds when something is hit, and how are you supposed to defend a tower?

You now need a scout or two in every tower permanently (not feasible/not many people will want to sit there idle), that both watches for enemy movement and refreshes siege.

This will either push everyone onto a pure offensive rampage, or make everybody play defensively. Silly.

Attached: AC new range pictuer

Good luck going up against a few nicely placed superior AC’s when taking a tower.

Also hopefully we dont have rebels wasting tower/keep/SMC supply on walls that are continuously being trebbed just so that they can get WXP…

Our SEA coverage is greatly outmanned by JQ/BG. You may think that we have massive zergballs but this is really just our 25 man SEA groups rolling around wiping other servers and whatever.

We also never bad mouthed WM, all I’ve seen was high talk of them on our maps. Not sure where your data is coming from lol.

Was kind of fun holding Bravost forever tonight and farming all who entered. Had some good laughs in TS.

Thanks for the fun tonight BG/JQ

When you roll in a 60 man zergball against groups of 35 or so, miracles do sometimes happen and you do occasionally wipe groups half your size. Remarkable isn’t it? I could understand gloating and making troll posts, as you really haven’t been able to experience winning open field fights before the famous Kainengate merger

I’m on Sanctum of Rall and I got most of the JQ points/vistas by just being vigilant of te WvW maps. If I’m in one BL ill occasionally map out and look to see what we own in other BLs and if I need(ed) something there.

All I have left is red bay vista, I have just been too lazy to actually go get it lol

Did some WvW tonight!

Seems like WarMachine and RISE took the safe routes rather than a challenge. Gl on BlackGate!

It’s only Thursday…….

Picture from our rush last night We did WvW after and had a blast!

I have to laugh every time BG complains about SoR zergballing. The last 2-3 nights I have been in JQ BL, it was around 25-30 of my guildees and I trying to perform with our numbers. We’d fight the first BG Zerg we find, realize its our 25-30 against their 45-50, and get wiped. We’d then meet up with TSYM, even up the numbers, and farm BG for the night. It’s crazy what you can do with even numbers eh? Shame we can’t have even numbered fights with BG unless we create a zergball as well..

Hmm..let’s see, a 30 person guild group combined with the whole zerg of TSYM fighting against what you claim to be 45 BG (and we all know how we like to exaggerate our enemy numbers), and you are wondering why people are complaining the zergball of SoR?

Trust me, I would love to take my 25 guys and roll around and fight other groups of 25 all day. But when you want to win open field battles against 45-50 organized BG/JQ, you do what you gotta do.

Any update or resolution on this issue?

RISE officially transferred to BG or what? Just saw 5x of them running in EB right now?

SOR = Has the best guilds on there.
BG = camp/tower huggers united during NA prime.
JQ = boring, Endless hordes, 30 man havoc squads, SF continually getting wiped by TSYM at garrison the other day.

I call your bluff sir and raise you a Bay of PuGs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8AD8eCS_ho

Shout-out to Guardian of Rall [HL] & the TSYM commander that were leading JQ map 4/22/13. Great fights at the SoR spawn tower and bay.

We had some fun fights in there. Won some, lost some, all in all had a good time.

Kind of a shame people left because you wanted to stay and help out the server.

CuddleStrike.8215:

Minoru.1237:

Can we have a score update?

You sure can!

Enjoy!

Looks like our Asian bro’s are keeping us in the mix overnight (awesome!). Hopefully we can keep chipping away at the BG lead and start pushing JQ to their limits. Much more fun in a closer matchup than it has been lately with the JQ 60k leads and our 20k leads over BG.

We’re really making strong moves in WvW lately. Also we have unlocked guild
Rushes!

bucthree.7301:

Had some really good fights last night on JQBL defending Bay! It was one of the most intense half hour to 45 minutes I’ve had in WvW in a while.

Definitely. It was fun playing with TSYM and our initial taking of bay was quite awesome. Had lots of fun open field battles and whatnot

Had a great time in EB tonight. Was 2 v 1’d all night until around 1 AM EST, but even with that we were able to consistently wipe JQ/BG zergs time after time. Kind of unsure why they kept pushing us.. had to be a bit demoralizing xD

I’d be lying if I said I was sad to see this. However, I can understand wanting to move to another server where the queues are much shorter/non-existant and where you can experience less lopsided fights between servers (and heck, maybe even lose once in a while!).

Good luck to your guild.

I love my server and servermates, but im indifferent to T1 WvW :|

Gaile Gray.6028:

I am very sorry that this happened. I’d be happy to review the ticket, but I don’t see the number here. Can you give me the 12-digit number?

In general, game logs are both reliable and comprehensive. When an agent says they have not been able to confirm the details that were provided by a customer, you can be sure that they have tried to do that. If someone says “I had XX item and it’s gone” the team looks at it from various angles: Were they hacked? Did they sell it? Did they destroy it? When they cannot see any of that happening, they answer candidly to that effect.

Our first objective is to keep every legitimate player happy and well-served. So while I have not yet been able to review your particular ticket, in general, the response comes after an extensive effort to help, and is not a means to brush things under the carpet.

Reference #: 130416-000489

Yeah I spent the last 4 days grinding out some SAB to get my skin back. It was a pain in the butt, but I finally acquired it back.

It’s just super frustrating that i had to use my time available to play and have fun, to do a grindfest to get back something I feel was unfairly lost

This matchup feels stale and boring.

JQ knows BG and SoR don’t have the coverage or manpower to dethrone them.
SoR knows they can’t dethrone JQ in their preset state, and knows that BG won’t push them out of second
BG knows they’re safe enough to not drop to t2 and that they don’t have the wherewithal to push and maintain second

Everybody is just going through the motions I feel like. Haven’t really been in wvw much this week sadly as the queue times have been silly, especially since my guild is more PST based and we head out around 10 PM EST, when everybody else is fully in a BL or EB,

Just a lackluster week of wvw in my opinion.

Still looking for necros, ele’s, and more!
All are welcome

Wirldwide.8046:

What if they are right that you didn’t salvage, sell or destroy the Great sword within the 48 hours prior to their check, but that this was done prior? You indicated that as far as you know, you had the item but what if that’s not accurate? When do you know for sure that you had the item last? Was it longer than 48 hours prior to their check?

I’m not trying to defend anyone here, it’s just that there seems to be a piece missing in this because you’re not indicating for sure that you had the item. You state “as far as I know” which leads to speculation that you may not have had it then when you think you did.

I see what you’re saying, but no.

When I said “as far as I know”, I meant it was the last time that I knew beyond reasonable doubt and within full certainty that I had the item in my possession.

Loli Ruri.8307:

Their policies don’t let you. That’s it really.

ANY company can hide behind policies and spout out “well according to our policies…”

Why the hell should a company hide behind their policies when they admit that they understand it wasnt a user related issue that caused this? At my place of business if we make a certain mistake or something goes wrong on our end, we sure as hell rectify the issue and make things right for the people paying our salaries. Why should ANet be any different? What makes them above giving proper customer service?

Roman Legionary.6715:

Anet should:
Check OP account to see if the “missing” item was ever on the account. If so, they should then see if it was ever sold/salvaged/dropped between that time period and today. People do lie about game items to get them for free believe it or not. If it was not sold/ salvaged/dropped and is not on the account, Anet should give the said item back to the player.

I really wouldn’t go through the effort of exchanging X messages with ANet and then writing an essay on forums for a greatsword other than Twilight if I were lying :P

Some information for ANet in case they do decide to help, with regards to the origin of the greatsword:
- Personally crafted Mystic Claymore
- Transmuted Claymore stats onto a Ghastly Greatsword from AC
- Used the Super Greatsword Skin I acquired for 50 baubel baubels on the transmuted Ghastly Greatsword

I acquired the skin the morning after the SAB came out essentially (or maybe 2 days after?)

I had ownership of the sword (as far as I know) until approximately 7:30 PM EST on April 15th. Please go ahead and check your logs to see that.

Your logs show that the sword was not salvaged, destroyed, sold, etc in the past 48 hours. So if none of those occurred in the past 48 hours, and I no longer have the sword, where did it go?

I am NOT asking for a free sword.
I am NOT asking for a free skin.

What I am asking for is a simple rollback of my account to the point where I had the greatsword (around 7:30 PM EST on April 15th). If you cant do that, why not just give me a soulbound skin that I can only use and not sell.

I just want resolution.

cletiscake.9173:

Apparently, there was a server rollback last night. That means that you lost your item due to the rollback, and will probably never get it back. Really sucks mate.

I got it the night the Super Adventure Box came out. I was up until 4 AM playing the game to get it. I used the skin on my Ghastly Greatsword, so essentially I lost 2 valuable items.

The rollback did not remove it (unless it rolled back 2+ weeks).

Dear ArenaNet,

I have loved Gw2 ever since I purchased it in early January. I have gone on to level 3 characters to 80 and gear them in full exotics. I play daily and have put significant time into my account, and until today I couldn’t be happier with it.

Last night, I was in WvW leading my guild. I ended up having to go AFK and obviously I timed out and ended up in Lions Arch. I go to my inventory to look at all of the loot I obtained in WvW and to empty my Loot Bags. Before doing this, I go to switch to my Super Greatsword (which I had previously equipped). It was not there and obviously I was a bit upset seeing it not on my account.

I went to check my bank, it was not there. I checked the merchant, and it was not in my recently sold items. It was soulbound so I couldnt transfer it to anybody else. In my mind, a mistake was made, and I was going to contact the creators of this game to see if I could get a simple rollback to regain my greatsword which was mysteriously missing.

I sent a ticket this morning at work during one of my breaks, and they responded promptly. I was quite happy to see that ANet got back to me ASAP. However, that happiness faded once I opened it.

“Unfortunately, we are currently unable to restore any items that are destroyed in-game, vendored and are no longer in the buyback tab, or sold on the Trading Post. I’m very sorry for the inconvenience this causes you. Hopefully at some point in the future, this may be a courtesy we may be able to provide.”

This was a shocker to me, not because they said they couldnt restore items that were lost as per user error, but because they assumed it was user error. I was positive that it was more of a game error, or glitch (as this game is glitched and bugged beyond belief), so I responded asking them to check the logs.

I was then greeted with this:
“Based on our logs from the 48 hours prior to your contacting us, it doesn’t appear the item was salvaged, destroyed, or sold on the Trading Post. If this occurred before that, we would need a specific time and date to check those logs. Aside from that, we’re not able to see what may have happened.

I’m sorry that there’s not more that we can do in this case. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns."

As I was in WvW and then kicked off when this incident occurred, I was obviously not shocked to see that they confirmed that this was NOT a user error. So if user errors were eliminated, then that should leave a server or programming error, right? I wrote back and essentially stated that they owned up to this being a non-user error (which I would have fessed up to and swallowed my own mistakes), and that they should at least roll my account back to last night or the previous snapshot of the account as I would be perfectly fine with losing whatever gold I made. I just did not want to waste more time in the Super Adventure Box getting back the skin.

Unfortunately, I received this as the final answer:
“As I said before, we are only able to provide a rollback if we can verify the account was compromised. As yours was not, our tools will not allow us to perform a rollback on your account. "

Now tell me, even though my account wasn’t compromised, and it was not a user side error (as admitted by reviewing the logs), why can you not satisfy a loyal customer?

Thanks!

Score please?

:)

1:45 AM EST

Score update!

Dont know where these SoR zergball accusations are coming from.

I was rolling around with 25 maybe 27-30 maximum tonight with me. I only ran into BG and JQ zergballs, nothing else. There were zero medium sized groups rolling around at all.

You’ll love it here, I guarantee it.
