This is a prime example of why JQ loses week after week. You got 15 people camping the jumping puzzle. What a waste of both brains and manpower.

Yeah cause SoS NEVER camps the JP…………. LOL

SoS wouldn’t need to if the other servers didn’t. It seems you can only do the EB JP only at the times your server is camping it now days. It’s like it’s camped 24/7 now with each server rostered in a specific a time zone.

AFK.1854:

Ragged on by his (or her) own server. Priceless.

The problem is people that hack/ exploit aren’t looked at as individuals, as demonstrated already in this thread by being referred to as an ‘SBI’ player. SBI doesn’t want to be associated with hackers or exploiters anymore than SoS or JQ do. I would imagine servers in the other tiers feel likewise.
It only takes a minority to give a bad reputation to the entire server.

It’s hard not to associate individuals with their server. Mostly because of Anet’s fault of naming every enemy player you see as ‘Server name’ ‘Invader/Defender’.

If you saw names of players instead. The blanket blame on the offender’s server would lessen.

Also capping from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm is an issue because I cannot play.
oh I forget about saturday’s evening capping that should not be possible because I usually go out with my friends… /sarcasm

someone can play only when you are sleeping, why do you want to ruin their game experience limiting them?

Because World’s place in this game is beeing decided by the minority of players ( Night Team Group’s) instead of Majority ( NA and EU primetime).

That is the biggest issue of WvW in GW2 atm, imho.

Yes. Let’s create player limits at “night” that prevents the majority playing at that time to not out number the minority.

SoS like to decorate their keep in style.

Would you rather Trahearne lead a holiday event instead?

Shrack.8013:

Yes, but having one high damage blast finisher aoe skill that you can use repeatedly (at your feet) is an option that most classes don’t have.

Don’t you dare touch short bow!

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

No, there’s no resource nodes. Something else will take the place of ad-hoc, holiday content on the go. There are new crafting recipes, but the components for those will come from the rewards gained by playing any holiday content.

Aww sad face.

I was getting ready to go on a candy cane node mining extravaganza!

RockonHarder.7235:

3 things you need to do to get badges.

1 get a group

2 Spam AoE’s

3 hit F like a mad man.

that easy

Or simply man a cannon.

The more I think about this ‘in combat’ whilst logging out = instant death and repair costs. The more I think this may be a kitten annoyance. Sounded great at first until I started thinking of the results.

For example, often when I’ve had enough of WvW. I log out where ever as waiting through a load screen is just annoying. I can see when you’re about to hit the change character button, some stray treb shot, aoe or mob is going to tap you into combat and insta kill you.

Making exiting WvW tedious. I would rather a 10 second log out timer that keeps your character in whilst you close the client.

We can debate out this aslong as you want to. This is ANet their official response to why WvW has PvE in it.

WvW is a PvE setting that allows players to kill eachother. Which is also the reason why PvP balance issues don’t apply in WvW.

I’m not saying I agree with ANet for doing so, just saying that they did and thus there is no reason comparing WvW to PvP because they are, according to ANet, two completely different things.

Which still makes it PvP, PvP in a “PvE setting” (or open world) does not make it PvE, if it was PvE you would not be able to kill other players, nor would the entire point of the thing be competing against the other teams, you would compete against the enviroment.

Fellas. No need to fight. WvW is simply a hybrid. It is neither PVP or PVE. It is both mixed together.

Jumping Puzzles: Where the players do the jumping on you whilst doing the puzzle.

Having a gentleman’s agreement with one enemy server to over come the other enemy server that is camping at the top of the beast arena. Have a laugh. Grab our chest. Then call it a day as we go on our way. Vowing to best each other on the real battle field.

Then there is always the time where I come out of stealth with my guardian to knock an entire team of enemies into the beast arena below to force them into one kitten chaotic free for all with the other enemy server waiting below.

He just looks eccentric to me. Not scary.

tagnut.8621:

You want to beat a thief? Roll a thief. Then both of you can slap your face up and down on the keyboard and have a 50/50 chance of winning.

I dueled a thief as a thief. Shortbow vs daggers. It lasted forever.

In the end we both ended up getting bored and going our separate ways because neither of us was dying.

drwookie.6391:

I’m really looking forward to another event with great loot given out to those who can make it, while I am out of town. Third update in a row where I miss the final “big event” and whatever rewards go with it. Excellent. (Sarcasm BTW)

There’s no excuse this time around. If you can’t make it in the very generous time span Anet has given for this event. It’s not Anet’s fault.

Awesome! Looking forward to it!

Drago.1634:

This is no Sbcry we sat there, watched a downed messmer go from dead to dissapear to full health porting ppl in, no one was reviving her, Her health meter did not move. One fellow even witnessed another fly hacking to get in. Again, Address this Please. This is indeed no way to win.

Best you can do is just report them. Have no control on who ever band wagons to our server. Never even heard of the DiE guild until this thread.

Shadow.9641:

Me personally I´m prefering to know my enemies and having a nice chat after some hardcore fighting, but I believe the mass of players would missuse this possibility, so I can understand why Anet doesn´t give us this feature.

Imo its a Ride on the Razors Edge, ´cause as long as the possibility gets used in a normal and respectful way, is quite good, funny, interesting, … also including some friendly flaming^^
But if its missused …

What the difference between sPvP and WvW? You can see your enemy’s name in sPvP. Why not WvW?

Remove siege yes.
Remove the ability to kill other players no.

BaconCatTheGreasy.9542:

So much QQ here.

Ascended gear is needed only for High level fractals. Other than that, all content is fine with Exotics.

With that kind of attitude. Why bother with exotics? Master work is fine too!

Also @ OP:

I have two 80s with a third on the way. I only bothered to gear my main. I was thinking of making exotics for my alts, but for the price it costs and with a new tier on its way to replace it. I don’t see the point.

Pretty much all leveling an alt to 80 is…
Do you like playing this class?
If yes -> Make this your new main.
If no -> Either it collects dust or you use it for gathering/crafting/chest collecting.

Lyan.6804:

It wouldnt be bad just to clean the eyes of the same maps but it would be pretty hard to balance and then u would have ppl QQing that, that server has a better map that ours and so on…

What the differences between that and the unique EB set up?

Slayer Lord.5023:

If that is not manipulating on EB, I don’t know what else to call it.

Seems to be a lot of conspiracy theorists in this thread.

Apparently every one’s server is a jumbled, unorganized mess whilst the enemy servers are plotting against them and working together.

I think low respawn time is Guild Wars 2 answer for areas where you need to group with other players to progress through.

Guild Wars 2 masks group areas well by simply just upping the respawn rate.

In WoW or SWTOR for example. You’d just find a bunch of elites in an area and unlikely able to solo the first one.

Accusations like these is the reason the JQ is constantly given the title ‘JQQ’.

Please SoS and SBI cry just as much as anyone else. Well don’t know about SOS so much, they weren’t relevant in WvW until HoD guilds moved to them and made them noticeable.

It was the common phrase I saw when browsing the HoD v SBI v JQ threads on the forum. But still. Missing the point that you do not want to be the bad apple giving your server a bad name. Thus my reply to the other poster.

I’m a glass cannon short bow thief that uses thieves guild.

Why stealth when you cannot be caught due to mobility?

mcovellone.2981:

Same situation in EBG. Now SoS and SBI are dividing up our borderlands.

WTF?

JQ being double teamed? That’s never happened before!

Accusations like these is the reason the JQ is constantly given the title ‘JQQ’.

All today I personally have been helping defend SM from SBI. Haven’t even touched JQ once.

WvW is a game of constant push. If there is a lack of resistance, expect the enemy to push into your area. SBI and SoS in EB are constantly pushing and repelling each other. Then when they both test JQ’s side of EB and capture their towers with ease, they’re not going to stop pushing until you’re camped at spawn. That’s how WvW works.

Earlier today SBI and JQ were attacking Wildcreek and Klovan simultaneously and SoS managed to repel them both. Hear us complaining?

I did 4 dailies. 10 →12 →10 → 10.

Only the first one did I not get a ring. RNG is random.

To be able to speak to the other servers in /say.

I miss being able to whisper the enemy servers at times instead of flailing about at them randomly with gestures. Whether it to turn my enemy against my other enemy or a simple friendly chat. It made WvW more interesting than playing against another number in a zerg rather than an actual person you’re fighting.

You’re pretty much forgetting SoS has a solid Oceanic player base that aren’t abandoning ship any time soon. You won’t see SoS do a HoD dive.

Cover Girl.2580:

That little SBI commander in the black and blue costume

Could of fooled me. Could of sworn you were wearing all red.

Nuked.2360:

Congrats SoS 3rd consecutive win well deserved and please stop attacking overlook your making my life hell.

We’ll stop attacking it when you stop trebbing Stone Mist with it.

Risen Deer: "Every one, RUN! >:) "

There is one simple rule when it comes to siege weapons in WvW.

Another thing. Who throws 25 gold away to list a buy order for green beans?

Some one even threw away 42 gold for a power trader item that’s covered up by the tool tip.

See the picture.

At low level PVE: Guardians and Warriors are awesome.

At higher levels of PVE: Guardian is still going strong. Warrior starts falling a little behind how ever.

Yet I still prefer my thief for any situation. Why take hits when you can evasion/blind tank solo and usually be the savoir in group PVE?

I guess Anet employees are getting sick of non-counterable Jump Puzzling camping at the beast arena too.

Give it back !

Human starting area is my most favourite. Followed by the Norn one.

Sylvari and Charr starting areas are probably my least favourite for different reasons.

Cliffside is by far my least favourite fractal. Even when groups were preferring to DPS the seal at the end and such. The whole fractal takes too long and is unreasonable for first players to understand.

There’s even bugs where people die and you can’t find the body to resurrect them. So every one has to slowly take off all their gear and suicide. Making the run way longer than it should be.

The Asura was actually my favourite one… until I hit fractal level 10. Multiple-Ranged-Targeted-Large-Radius AOE knock backs during combat whilst on narrow, jumping puzzle platforms. That’s just evil. Who’s the sadist that came up with that?

“I have a trick up my sleeve.” Trahearne summons the dead.

Player: “Wait… What’s the difference between you and Zhaitan?”

Trahearne: “…”

“Get him!”

Save the dragons. Make Trahearne the next antagonist. No one showing that much lack of emotion can be good.

The PVE daily already covers it some what with events and kills.

First bag of gold I received, it had 3-4 gold in it. I was thoroughly disappointed that it was only silver from then on.

3-4k kills

3000~ badges.

I do a lot of jumping puzzles.

I think it is fine as it is. Considering if you die in low level zones, you receive a larger repair bill and way point cost.

Using NA servers from Australia here.

I’m running fractals and having really bad lag. Skills are delayed by 5 seconds and – I – keep dying even though I’m alive on my screen.

Where else is every one from?

Edit: Wow. It censored “and – I – keep”

Going naked into a jumping puzzle is like dangling a piece of meat in front of a lion.

1. When did you begin playing?
Head start
2. how many hours total do you have? (/age)
Around 800 hours
3. What’s your most gold banked so far?
20 gold
4. Do you have a max level character (s)? (number if more than one)
2
5. List 1-3 areas / zones / events / tp; where you spend most of your time for income.
WvW, dungeons, farming rare nodes in high level zones.
6. Do you mainly use MF or not?
I find handicapping myself not worth the extra chance for loot.
7. Have you ever got an exotic weapon from a mob? If so, how many and total?
Yes. 2.
8. Have you ever got an exotic weapon from a chest? If so, how many and total?
Probably 1 if at all.
9. What’s the most number of rare weapons you have looted in one day or 8hrs time?
2 or 3
10. How many rare or exotic weapons do you “expect” to loot in one hour of time?
Usually 0.
11. How many lodestones have you looted total so far? (all types)
Maybe … 10? Sold them all off.
12. Do you craft? If so, do you have a 400 crafter? if so, how many?
4 crafting maxed, 4 more on the way.
13. Do you sell your looted crafting mats? (specify optional)
Some times if I’m desperate, I prefer to keep them if I can.
14. Do you feel your return, (in terms of items, completion, income, etc) for your time, has been worth it?
No.
15. In ONE word, what needs improved most; from your perspective?
Too many gold drains and not enough ways to make gold. TP is unreliable. There is really no way to make gold at an acceptable rate. Solution? Make gold obtainable at an acceptable rate. Even if it is in the form of daily high level solo quests at the very least.

SoS are so epic. We drop precursors. o.o

80 Thief – 600 hours – 196 deaths.
80 Ranger – 115 hours – 30 deaths.

Sounds like a neat idea for a competition. May need to install my new graphics card if I am to think about entering it.
