I was in borderlands chasing some ele who was running away, I got the prompt for the EB switch because it was in queue when I logged in…I land in EB dead and with damaged armor.

a-net, fix this.

No need to bother Anet with it, next time when you are chasing an ele and que pops stop running after him and wait 5 seconds to get out of combat.

Problem solved.

really?
except oh wait…it doesn’t quite work like that.
and what if the situation is different and I’m trying to get away, having no interest in fighting a pack of 3 or more, (typically a thief, a mesmer and a warrior…they seem to run in packs like that), my only choice is to a) die, b) run and die), c) fight and die) or d) try to escape by logging and oh yeah die.

I notice not one of you addressed the issue of the invincible thief who I can never get my token off of…I’ll assume you’re op thieves who can’t stand getting a taste of you’re own medicine, eh?

Nope, i play Necro and Ranger. If you are not prepared to die in WvW at unfair fights it’s a wrong place for you.
But i agree on the thief part, culling thief is horribly broken atm.

I nominate ‘teh culling’ . Very deadly and hard to fight agains’t.

Please, every server will have those. Infact i personally sent screenshots/videos to exploits@arena.net from the last weeks matchup from both piken and augury exploits.

Best is you do the same, playing high and mighty with ‘you exploit,we don’t’ doesnt accomplish anything.

I have a feeling Piken will do well this week. Think their nighttime empty keep fighters are back with a vengeance this reset.

Tortun.5946:

Although in teh end it looks like the alliance has hurt Piken cause Team Chat is aimed at pushing them in to third for that ‘12 hours’. Urk!

This week I’ll be taking more of a break and getting some sleep me thinks lol.

This is pretty much what always happens when there’s 2 eu servers and 1 fr/de/spanish server in the matchup.
The 2 eu servers tough it out on the forums and in the game and the not english speaking server reaps the rewards

Think there was a slight flaw in Piken tactics this evening with throwing massive amounts of energy to Gandara borderlands while Piken Borderlands was slowly turning to blue.

edit. And also red now

Same here. Gandara Borderlands busted. game client is unable to gain access to the log-in server…

There’s no point in arguing anyways. The usual outcome is always the same, 2 eu servers fight it out ingame and forums and meanwhile the french servers reap the rewards

Coming soon to a WvW vendor near you! Ascended pieces, only 5000 badges per!

‘:P’

Just wow , looks like some people think they are already in tier1. And all tier1 is big zergs , huge egos and complaining about nightcrews and double teaming and ‘how we are better even with less numbers’.

The fun in WvW is in mid tiers and judging by the posts tier4 and onwards is the place where it starts going downhill.

NA servers have bigger guns

It is not the size of the gun that matters. But what you do with it.

Only people with small guns would say that.

So Piken is clipping through both out and inner walls and gates on Hills at their own borderlands. Seems [INS] don’t need to spend on siege. Nice try but no cigar.

How about this.

If a thief uses heartseeker more than 2 times in a row his toon gets deleted and replaced by level 1 elementalist.

Wouldn’t it be pretty simple to just give a priority to thiefs so they would be last ones affected by culling? I’m no expert in such things but seems pretty obvious solution.
And that wouldn’t require kittening thiefs abilities or damage.

Ripred.4605:

Thieves aren’t OP. They people that play them are just good. I’ve seen this happen in WAY to many games where a bunch of people will actually know how to use something, they kitten the noobs, then the developers nerf it because they don’t like people who are good with something…

Best one i have heard so far Yeah, that must be it, all the best players play thiefs. And the ones who have other prof as alts become bad players as soon as they log in other than their thieves.

Batlav.6318:

how to report when i can’t see any names ?
the only thing i see is Invader…

they rly need to do something about it
like live GMs or to allow us to see enemy names so we can atleast make screenshots

Hmm, report what? Dance hack?

covenn.7165:

The reason they are crying is:

1. Culling

2. Even a bad player can be successful with a thief

Pretty much. And the number 2 would be less so if number 1 would be fixed.

Nothing is more boring than every server owning completely their own borderland. Anything that tries to engage people to break that pattern can’t be a bad thing.

tita.6358:

Kingface.9781:

What will be the next international super-server to beat the world (VS)?

probably Piken Square.

lots a retired t1 Veterans are gathering there after their defeat to heal their wounds. somedays with SFR reinforcments they may be enough in that graveyard to push again in T1 ^^

But why would anyone want to push to tier1 once theyve been there? In middle tiers matches are much more fun and less zergy. Plus one doesn’t have to be 24/7 focuced into WvW to have success.
If your server ever reaches top tier it’s a good idea to move down a few ladders, you’ll have much more fun. Also much less ego boosting and blame game in mid tiers.

Got a Dusk from the forge. Sold it to fund building the Dreamer.

I sense a disturbance in the balance…

I’ll take your word for it. Guess i’m a little touchy after the teleporting german’s from previous weeks.

People still should log out and respawn after such a glitch so we could avoid the confusion about taking advantage of glitches.

Nice fighting going on with stonemist. Unfortunately after nice fair battle Gandara capped stonemist so someone felt the need to spoil a good fight.

Mesmer in the walls :

This is hilarious in the Eb jumping puzzle wolf+guard+f2. Those clearing down those pesky puzzle campers.

Zapan.7460:

…..has Anet put a cap on the number of Exotics or Rares or Rare Materials a player can find (from drops and/or chests) in a certain period of time?? 0o Whereas, if you reach the cap, you can’t get Rares of Exotics until the period of time resets?? 0o

Oh my. Hopefully this isn’t the case since whenever you craft/forge/pick up something from the tp isn’t it considered also ‘looting’ which would result in really unfair dr.

PowerCat.5738:

Eldiora.5836:

Mobs in the toy apocalypse drop nothing,

Probably a change to prevent farming, kinda like the ice elementals at jormag

Worst change possible on the Jormag’s claw part. Elementals used to drop atleast few tier6 mats and a bunch of tier5 mats per event. Now it’s basicly a waste of time to spend 30 minutes there to get a couple greens and few blues from the chest.

deepwinter.9015:

Seras.5702:

signet of the hunt is now a 25% speed increase (as it is for everyone w/ a speed signet), so that’s good.

Elementalists’ kept their 10% movement on their signet, but they have many other means of moving around quickly.

In response, I’m very happy with my Ranger now. I still feel like I have to do three times the amount of labor to be competitive but now I feel more confident when picking a fight.

Now only if they can put in some aoe mitigation for the pets so they don’t die in every aoe i’d be pretty content with my ranger overall. Sure there are plenty of issues still but wouldn’t feel handicapped by default anymore.

Seems just like the karma weapon exploit. Handful of players acquired millions of weapons in very short time.
That time they handed perma bans to the worst offenders. The rest got 72 hours ban and walked away with their loot.
Hopefully this time people don’t get a free pass.

It’s really weird though. Some persons seem to go unaffected by this and some people seem to have permanent dr on them.

Map limit? So if someone builds crazy amounts of flame rams to his keep for trolling purposes his server is kittened?

edit. yeah might apply to all sides. So when you get majority of the map in control you can handicap the opposition by building so much rams it kittens the opposition out of making siege?

Meanwhile in Fractals…

[Guild] xxx : Lol , 2 exotics and 8 rares so far and we aren’t even finished yet

Seems there is a ongoing process to remove loot from the open world.
Loot bug(feature)
Plinx
Jormag
Grenth

You are only allowed to get good loot in Fotm

I am happy to now be playing in T1 where people know how to counter my thief

Ok, so when people transfer to top tier they get the ability to kill thiefs. And when they transfer to lower tiers they lose it. Makes sense.

It means im playing with people who know what they are doing

So they didn’t know what they were doing before SfR climbed to tier1 ? Very confusing…

GJ arenanet u are ruining the game , thief are OP now so just buff them more gj!

This is the perfect example of a whiner.
They buff a class that isn’t the class you play, you come on the official forum and start whining saying “X is OP gjgjgjgj nerf plz”.

Not really. Perfect example of a whiner is someone who complains without a valid reason :P

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

Boomstin.3460:

So people shouldn’t try to kill thiefs. Unless maybe warriors and mesmers. Thanks for the tips.

If a thief tries to kill you and fails, they’re usually just going to run away. Nothing gained by either of you. If they stay, thief heal doesn’t strip chill/cripple/immobilize. An immobile thief isn’t much of a thief. Brings me back to the point of “why chase a thief?”.

Call me crazy but shouldn’t there be somekind of possible penalty from a failed attack? I really don’t think having to run away and wait 30 seconds for cooldowns to come back qualifies.

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

Real question is, why are you so determined to kill the thieves? If you have a stun break on your bar coupled with semi-decent reactions, and some cleave and/or AoE attacks, the thief won’t be able to kill you. Let them run away and try again later, when his steal+basilisk comes off of cooldown. Those cooldowns are roughly 45 seconds, so by which time the skills you need to not die should be off CD as well.

Thieves will kill you if you let them, don’t chase them. It’s been established many times over that thieves are not easy to catch, so stop trying: continue doing whatever you were doing and be on the look out for little puffs of black w/e it is, or see if a thief is following you at a distance.

Mesmer’s and warriors are two classes which are exceptional at combating thieves. A mesmer running Sword/Pistol has 2 stuns and should be running a stun break a long with distortion, you have no real excuse to die. Warriors have shield stance and then the usual bulls strike+frenzy+100b combo, can also use endure pain.

A good Mesmer should beat a good thief, as should a good warrior. The counters are out there, the problem lies with people being far too determined to try and hunt down the most mobile class in the game. I can’t offer much in terms of advice for other classes, sadly. All this comes from my personal experience in both s/tPvP, WvW, and PvE, roughly 800 hours on my thief.

Hope this helps some – will probably just get flame responses in return.

So people shouldn’t try to kill thiefs. Unless maybe warriors and mesmers. Thanks for the tips.

cyst.3108:

OK, every sbow or lbow user now are firing t 30% faster, NOW I WANT IT TOO, dont know y a warrior should fire the lonbow faster than the sbow thief -.-’’

Not firing faster, arrows just travel faster.

Bri.8354:

We’ve balanced the class around the idea that you always have a pet with you to aid in any fight.”

What is this pet and where we can find them?

That was pretty funny. So conditions(that get removed) and throwing aoe around is the official counter…

I would guess it’s safe. Why would the mail system have the option to send money if people aren’t allowed to use it

This video reminds me of the newsclip about Norwegian fishermen that club baby seals to death when they are laying on the ice after birth. ’ We’re so awesome, the baby seals didn’t have a chance against us’

Atleast your dagger loses it’s status as a legendary and becomes an exotic and that can be a problem once the introduce ascended weapon since legendaries will be brought up to par with them.

If some guild chooses to camp the puzzle, let them. Most likely they are doing it because they can’t manage it outside of the puzzle so let them have their fun.

I’d suggest posting any screenshots to Exploits@Arena.Net with a description.

Again [pro] inside fully upgraded Greenlake tower in the lords room, we manage to save it, 2 minutes later same individuals are inside Askalion Hills lords room. It also get’s interrupted. Another minute later same thing again inside Greenlake tower and this time Greenlake gets capped. All fully upgraded.

Edit. Nevermind. Wrong topic

Good news keep on coming. 3 confirmed changes already, all of them quite significant towards gettting the ranger out of the gutter.
Thanks

When are we able to roll deers? next expansion?
