Guild Wars 2

yea, i have no problem with people leaving servers for reasons like that, i just dont like bandwagon guilds, you’re defintely not one of them, i was just saying why leave a close match and go back to an unbalanced server tier. But i understand being homesick and missing the players back in your server though.

I haven’t touched my mesmer since the patch…. I think that sums up the feeling for everyone. I don’t even plan on playing him anywhere until something is done. Mesmer are strong no doubt, probably the strongest 3 class in the game, because i would choose a mesmer over any class to win a 1v1 scenario except maybe a tanky guardian, but that means that mesmer would have to be extremely knowledged in his class and knowing how to play it well. I went back to my engineer main, because he can do everything a mesmer can’t do, support extremely well, tank extremely well, do damage extremely well.

I never did like Kaineng or FC…and being since I"m from DR originally if my guildmates decide that’s where they’d like to go back to, then we’ll be back after this matchup as we have committments that are already in play. There will never be a “dust settling” event for the transfers in the near future. Tier 8 will balance out again when DR moves up…and they will before people realize it.

just out of curiousity, but whats with changing server like 2x in the last month or so. I heard that your current match ups with gom, bp and anvil is really close. also i doubt T8 will balance out if DR leaves, becuz that just means bp, gom, or anvil is coming down.

Yes, it’s happened to me before, in AC em only though where the time was slower. I had a group who would skip the very first graveling burrows right before the spider boss, which was a total pain because glass cannons die a decent amount to it, not to add the fact that some players weren’t full geared exotic and level. I don’t see why people don’t kill the LT seeing as he spawns the waypoint for closer teleporting.

I guess pugs will be pugs

shoot me an invite in game, i tried to whisper you but guess your not online

I hear Crystal desert has a relatively weak daytime presence, and Tarnished coast is a better option. I’m neither of those servers, just saying.

trust me, it’s worse than 5minutes eventually.

Moa is the best single target CC in the game, anyone that treats it as a 1v1 skill or whatever, is missing out, imo. Not saying it needs nerfing, but it certainly isnt a waste of a skill.

Its the best single target CC thats why it needs a nerf. As this skill is insta win on points in sPvP. As some points are mostly 1 v 1, like in the new map.

Well it better be the best CC in the kitten game considering it’s an elite skill, but seeing as people just see it as an awful skill it’s always funny. I dont like it and want it replaced with aoe elite, and im talking about aoe dmg skills.

Also @ Nut, I’m in no shape or form playing a BS thief build/mesmer build. I play a support class engineer, doing CC and vulnerability on enemies, letting the dmg classes in my party do the damage.

Bones.5762:

If this nerf happens, not very many people will still choose to play a burst dmg build with low survivablity.

I suppose you think that is a bad thing?

It is in a way, because people want to play certain classes, and that will kind of bring up qq on forums about a nerf on classes almost. I’m against the downed state because people tend to alt f4 alot. It doesn’t need to be removed just tweaked. There’s no reason why it’s so easy to res some1 in downed state considering it takes 2x as long to dmg them in that state, if anything it should be reversed, and maybe just buff the reviving abilities of all classes up a little bit, like Engineer elixir R, or Elemental signet revive, or the necro, so on…. reviving completely dead should take 1.5-2x longer. but thats just my 2cents.

If this nerf happens, not very many people will still choose to play a burst dmg build with low survivablity.

you have no idea how ridiculusly hard this was for Kaineg (one of the lowest pop server) PVE is almost dead there.

I’m with Vorpal. This one makes me want to drown a puppy. A boss that repeatedly heals himself fully? Where can I sign up for that?

You can sign up on the box that says “I don’t understand the concept of defiant stacks and crowd control”.

Seriously, this is THE easiest boss fight in the entire game, not counting Agony after level 10, which is just a pain all around.

This is most definitely not the easiest boss in the fractals. The underwater jellyfish is wayyyyy easier, and wayyyy faster. I’m not saying its hard, im just saying it’s not the easiest.

I totally run this with low survivability gear (magic find set) and didn’t down once on difficulty 6. I consider myself to be a competent player that is good. So maybe it’s just team coordination.

I guess we owned the jade maw so hard that it decided to be our slave. I think it might be a bug, not sure, seeing as the jade maw is suppose to disappear after beating it.

how do u get a teleportation gun?

I don’t believe an apology is necessary seeing as they give you guys free rams.

Much love

It’s just coincidence, there’s been many instance where the opposing server would say we’re allianced just because we’re attacking them, when they own most of the map. I can honestly say just about 90% of everyone hates opposing server in one form or another.

I have NEVER seen a server alliance with another server. There’s always the rumors and gossip but it has always proven false.

yes i’ve attacked it and it didn’t break, trust me it’s the first time i couldn’t break a cage when being put in it. It’s a bug most likely.

Kita.7819:

ayaya silence all of you. Every server will want you Serebus because everyone wants to be number one. They could care less about you. They just want more population for their WvW. They all have their share of default and standard comments. “Oh our server is for old people. Proof? Well they say they are.” “Our server needs more primetime. Oh, that queue? Well, I mean we need more good people in primetime”

Okay, let me talk about Darkhaven. The real Darkhaven.

Darkhaven started off as “THE” server back in beta. All the cool cats were on Darkhaven. As more servers were created, the big guilds realized that if everyone remained on darkhaven, there would be no competition. So everyone dispersed. Perhaps too many dispersed.

Our beginning was rough. Our first matchup was against Jade Quarry, which we now know is a Tier 1 server. We lost many people that week… those weeks. Then we were matched up against Sanctum of Rall. A plethora of hackers decimated us and Ehmry Bay, plummeting us further down in tiers and as consequence, lost even more people. We were up against Kaineng for Pete’s sake!

But those who remained never lost hope. We kept fighting. Tier 8. Tier 7. Tier 6. Tier 5.

Now we’re at Tier 4… and we need help. We keep getting matched up against a pubstomp server like Aspenwood or Crystal Desert. You know, the ones that keep talking about how desperate they are for help.

Darkhaven’s population is amazing. Even when outmanned, all of our players are located together, trying to fight for the same goal. What we need now more than ever are people that can make a difference and help us continue to rise. We were tier 8. We’ve come too far to give up now.

I disagree heavily, maybe the top tier servers are like that, but the lower brackets could care less, they enjoy good fights, who cares about who is winning at 4am? If winning is all that matters, then kaineg isn’t for you. Fun first and foremost, if we win through our result of it, then props to us, but winning has never been a priority. We show up mainly during prime time of 6pm-12am EST. If you really want a challenge and like uphill battles, go to ferguson crossing. I will let you know though it’s more like a uphill mountain, they’re seriously outmanned, even more than Kaineg, so don’t expect to win in Kaineg/Fergusen crossing, if you just enjoy challenging battles, these 2 servers are for you, as both has decent sized focused wvw guilds.

Kaineg server

What is a que? never gotten those before over here

Ok, we killed the boss as he threw me into an unbreakable cage, making me unable to get the chest. We had no mesmers in the group who could portal me out, leaving me basically trapped unable to get this chest.

GJ you guys are all so good, to those who want to keep bragging, go play spvp, and when you have a decent QP lead, i’ll give props on your 5v5 skills. When you guys can beat Gasmask, (a middle ranked Spvp player) i’ll know where you guys stand, because i’ve seen his skills personally, as i was guilded with him once.

Cyanstorm.9613:

Rev: it is, no one ever answers them. Pretty dam sorry if ye ask me, we have 3 servers with dozens if not hundreds of people, and no one will call my challenge, its pathetic. AND as for “speccing” you can spec in less than 3-5 minutes for a 1v1, so don’t bs me.

You could trait for it, but if you don’t have the armor giving you the appropriate stats, then it’s still be just as bad. Seeing as buying a full set of armor/weapon would cost around 15-20g at least. Each armor piece is around 2g on TP, and weapons, well that just varies.

Sometimes i think it’s funny because all sides think they always win, but most of the times i feel like they just blind side each other and has that advantage. Makes me wonder who would really win, after all groups are rendered, staring at each other from a distance and runs into each other.

YumeBaka.3428:

it doesn’t matter whose kitten is bigger, we have good fights with ENVY even though they do usually out number us. even seen where Devona stayed far away from the tower we had until they had at least 40 people.

even with Bsty, ENVY, PRO and all the other guilds out there in WvW we like the good fights even when we are outnumbered. it’s not about who is better, it’s all in fun. Maybe some day Ferg will quit hiding in Zerg mode but the same goes for Devona who has zerg mode on multiple maps.

I have fun fighting both sides, but saying who is better is bull, either your good or your bad, situations change and one side may win or lose depending.

was fun fighting both Zergesons crossing and Denona’s Zerg on our borders tonight. but you still didn’t wipe us while I was still on. and we were in between the both of you.

Like he said, it’s about the good fights, we know those who are out there doing what they do best. There’s no need to brag on forums. And sorry if this is directed towards DR but it’s just my example but seeing as they have at least double the numbers on us now, running zergs there’s no reason to brag saying ownage.

Bdsteelers.2567:

Good luck to you all oh yeah NoQQ guild you aint got crap on QQ =) bring more cause you know you cant beat us with a even fight

Never heard of your guild QQ, no offense, I highly doubt you’re better than BSTY on DR. I have much respect to those guys as they don’t come to forums to brag, and yes NoQQ does talk a little more smack than i would like, but that’s just their nature.

Bdsteelers.2567:

Who is this NoQQ guild they play like they are playing wow so far my guild QQ on Devonas Rest has wrecked them grant it not their whole zerg but even numbers or them having like 4 more people more we have wrecked them come on guys zerg more since you have no skill =)

Also they strategically play like this, don’t call them out on their tactics. They run in groups of 8-15ish from what i can tell. Also if you guys are that much better than them, them having 4 more players shouldn’t have wiped you.

No offense, but i have never seen your guild in wv3. Unless you are newly made within this week or something, sorry haven’t heard of you. I haven’t played much this week because of finals.

I personally haven’t come across any particular group besides ENVY who can run a good 5v5, but i don’t believe they’re as good as BSTY from DR. But I belive NoQQ is better than BSTY.

Lol. We’ve beaten them both with same numbers and NoQQ doesn’t come close.

Like i said its all opinion, dont get worked up over who’s better, just play the game. The one’s who play the game, will all know who is better, regardless of claims on forums. It’s why i know your guild runs good small man groups, because you’re out there on the field with first hand encounters, so don’t change and come here to brag.

Also if you took it as i felt that you would get totally destroyed by NoQQ, don’t because i feel it would be a good match up regardless, just saying i would bid my money on them, but maybe that’s just being biased.

So because I have the first-hand experience to correct you, my opinion is bragging? I would call it more informed.

If you would’ve just said you have beaten them on most occasions or such it wouldn’t seem that way, but the way i read your statement it seems a little boastful saying they don’t even come close.

I’m not from NoQQ, and have no means of contacting them. I’m just saying what i see. I hope to not offend but your attitude is starting to lean towards less than friendly. Enemy servers should be enemys regardless, but keep it friendly. No need to be hostile on forums.

Cyanstorm.9613:

When this game started we were underdogs (FC), we are still underdogs, but I can tell ye all we have the best individual fighters of all 3 servers, that is a fact (we can discuss it further in game if ye so wish so). We just don’t have the numbers but we do try to put up a good fight, personally I prefer quality over quantity any fricking day. I will be sad to see devonas leave for an upper tier group, I love to kill them (and they are good sports except for betsy guild) , but I will welcome any new opponents, nothing better than fresh new faces to meet and kill.

Also not to start conflict, but there’s no way you can honestly say you guys were the underdog in the beginning, seeing as kaineg was only putting out 2 players for the ENTIRE WVWVW matches for about 2 weeks after launch. No offense to your server but I hear people call you server ferg zerg all the time. But I hear a majority of the players have transfered server.

Wrong, we have mighteous, the greatest player in the game. We win.

JK, but seriously though, it’s hard to say, I personally haven’t come across any particular group besides ENVY who can run a good 5v5, but i don’t believe they’re as good as BSTY from DR. But I belive NoQQ is better than BSTY. No real way to say who is better. It’s all just opinion.

Kaineg, The only true server who has never gone down in ranking.

I don’t understand what the issue really is, if you have a sub par group at least, this just makes it challenging and fun. It’s better than having super OP bosses that wipes you out continuously so you just waypoint back to zerg him.

Seems like they could’ve just kicked you, but that would’ve made them lose progress if they werent already copmleted with the current levels.

how do you talk to someone across servers, when they can’t see ANY of your chats dialogues?

EnoLive.2367:

Vayra.3290:

Limiting portal charges would completely destroy the viability of the skill in wvw unless it was 30+, which defeats the purpose of a cap. So no, unless ANet has lost all common sense they will never do this.

The added cooldown is fine, though.

How on earth would it destroy the viability when a team limit is 5, the AoE and heal are at 5 as well, the only benefit is for WvWvW rendering zerg exploit.
TBH I simply say be done with all the limits full stop this 5 limit business is for what nothing and does nothing to the game play other that make curtain classes useless against nearly all the other classes

If you’re running in a small group of 5, tell me why you would want to carry portal as a utility instead of something more useful, speaking hypothetically that you only encounter other groups of 5, no zergs. Portal would only be a means to escape, but seeing as a mesmer is built for 1v1 scenarios, it’s illogical to use his utility skill space for escape instead of something more productive. It would take 8 mesmers to portal a zerg of 40 people to point a, then another 10 mesmers, to portal to point b because you added 8 mesmers to your zerg of 40, making it irrelevant for zergs. Using this ability takes time, takes skills, and most of all takes coordination, so why is it hated so much. If your server is spending it’s time wisely and coordinating well it should benefit you in all possible means. I’m sure i’m one of many mesmers who WON’T use portal if the limit is reduced down to 5, unless the range was significantly increased. At least doubled.

Thrumdi.9216:

I know the developers are probably proud of this skill, but it is almost worse than stealth in its cheesiness.

Totally taking away two weapons bars of skills, your heal, utilities and elites for 10 seconds goes far beyond any other sort of crowd control in the game. It cannot be cleared, only dodged or blocked initially. In a WvW environment it can be almost impossible to see it coming.

Either make it clearable by stability, condition removal etc., keep the original skill bars, or remove it from the game.

Otherwise, it’s essentially an “I Win” button.

It’s only a iwin button for 1v1 scenario, and if it can be easily cleared with something like condition removal/stun breaker/stability it’s not worthy of being an elite skill. I personally hate this elite, and want it replaced with some kind of AoE elite skill.

Not quite sure who really trashes FC in our server, at least publicly through map chat, but ok? I haven’t really encountered alot of the problems you have listed up personally so I can’t say, In fact instead of transfering out of Kaineg, I transfered into kaineg from a higher tier server. The only thing i agree on is, we are divided, more than i would like. I honestly don’t know alot of the commanders during our offshifts, if we even have any, and the only one’s i really know are from KAIN and evermore alliance. There’s only one commander i’ve had a problem with in Kaineg, but besides that, no real issue.

Also please take note that Kaineg was built on the foundation of players who came from higher tiers, and also new players who couldn’t get into other servers due to their max population. There will always be some who leave, but the main ones who are here, will probably be permanent.

sazaw.1347:

“This skill now removes Death Shroud from the target instead of the necromancer being stuck in Death Shroud.”
OMG why? The only necro skill i’m relying on survival apart from being low damage got nerf to Mesmer skill. Now I gotta run whenever I spot Mesmer.

It’s hard to say, for another elite to be able to topple another elite skill so easily is unbalanced. I personally hate the MOA elite, and would like it replaced with an AOE elite of some kind.

I believe Necros do have a signet that revives actually dead players. Mesmers have no such skill of reviving players, at least fully, they are put into a vengence state like the warrior down state, and if they can’t kill any1 they’re dead anyways.

Frvwfr that’s actually a really good suggestion for the portal. I’m telling you guys, NOBODY will use portal if the limit is set down to 5. Except for small scale stuff and jump puzzles. Because I only use portal to teleport my group places, and it’ hurts my build having one less utility.

ahh, I still love carrying around halloween tonics and prancing on dead people with a candy corn elementalist.

Couldve sworn you went to BP instead of AR. But good luck in your endeavors.

I’m just saying that blind shouldnt be able to completely overshadow your ablility to summon clones/phantasm.

Why is blind stopping us from channeling a phantom? i mean if anything i should just transfer blind to the first attack of our clone/phantasm to miss it’s first target.

do you realize how long it would take for a mesmer to take down sieges alone? This would only be a viable option if there was no defenders at all, yes it’s frustrating but i don’t believe it to be a game changer/breaker. If that one mesmer totally stopped you from winning that current battle because you was short one siege weapon i honestly don’t know what to say.
