I seriously don’t know what to do with myself in this matchup

Kaineng doesn’t even put up a fight, and Ebay doesn’t go out into open field without their entire queue

It’s funny how people can have different perceptions of things! The only thing I have seen your guild doing this match up is zerg around sPvP with 30+ killing solo’s.

We have 3 people waiting in Queue, 1 person in PvE, and 17/34 online…. This is a typical night…. 30+?

How is this relevant at all?

PS. I’m not drinking.

It’s relevant because we only ever run as a guild – in our own TS.

Apparently not? You were definitely map-zerging with a bunch of other randoms in either Maguuma or Kaineng BL.

I have no idea how well this matchup is going. All I know is that somehow the Maguuma group at home bl that can’t be more than 50 or 60 people carries the lag of 300. It’s crazy.

Everything is super laggy tonight.

I am honestly so glad we get to fight EBay for the third week in a row. Elated.

Can we not and say we did?

Obtena.7952:

I’m going to say it’s because watching a zerg on a video is even more boring than participating in it ingame. :p

There’s a lot of guilds who run 10-25 players and constantly get into engagements with 50 man up to queue blobs. To me, that’s where the fun and interest lies.

Proof that Ark got a bribe from T1.

Lots of GvG videos available, I know that Ark usually has at least one person post a recording of our fight. We used to do weekly recap videos (I guess not so much from a guardian perspective sometimes), but we haven’t gotten a good matchup in two weeks now. Lots of PvD and hiding behind siege.

ANet introduces challenging piece of content → bad players with bad builds and bad coordination complain → ANet nerfs piece of content

It’s a vicious circle and it is our job to put an end to the violence ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Very flattered at this recruitment mail I got today in my forum inbox. Sadly, we will be returning to our home of Ferguson’s Crossing to help push them to Tier 1. Several guilds from EBay and BP have also joined with us on this endeavor.

I think SoS mentions people complaining about night capping more than people care about night capping.

Not caring about night capping but laughing at ppl boasting about night capping still qualifies as not caring about night capping right???

As for the night capping. That argument is so 2012. Get with the times brah.

So what your saying is bragging about PvD’n is so 2013?

You so 2000 and late.

Lothair.5280:

You know, if you’re looking for Ebay’s skill groups, I think currently we have about 3 that run 15+. Just an fyi, Ebay BL isn’t the best place to start looking for them, so your bad, now you know. The ADBsty guys were on SoS BL along with HAWK for a while mixing it up with mags and SoS there, while you were screwing around with siege and whatnot. Next time just ask around to see where the fights are. Also, the server generalizations in this matchup are so boring.

That last line, +1.

I look forward to the day that we have a sub-tier 2 match and someone doesn’t bring up our Oceanics as a “pre-buttal” as to why they expect to lose. SoS and Oceanics was the big headline of the first Beta Weekend and it’s silly that it’s still a topic.

I don’t see how it’s a generalization. Mag has one commander that is on during the SEA/Oceanic timeslot, and he doesn’t play until the weekdays. Even so, we rarely get more than 10-20 people following him around. SoS will win because of its oceanic timeslot, no one can deny that, it’s fact. Good thing there isn’t a soul on Maguuma that cares about the score, except when we get that #420blazeitup PPT, of course.

ExVoodoo.7586:

Man, I heard Maguuma was the server of trolls. Ark is ruining your rep Maguuma, all I see from them is QQ.
I have respect for Maguuma, you guys have good roamers and your PvFer’s are top notch.

Then there’s Ark, crying on the forums everytime they get wiped and pulling out every excuse in the book, cliche` excuses at that.
Sheep in a herd of wolves.

We wiped twice tonight, so ya. Idk, we value open-field shenanigans more than PPT siegewars garbage. Case-in-point we ran at near a queue of SoS on their BL tonight to try and wipe them at least 3-4 times between WK and Garrison. We didn’t wipe them, but I think we’d end up downing at least a good 20-30 before having to dip back into the keep due to about half our group dying. The fights were good, too, and lasted at least 5 mins each. Better than having to treb down EBay’s towers/keeps to try and goad them into responding.

Lastly, if we’re so bad, why not come and fight us open-field some night? Ark raids every single night with 15-20 people and we’re ALWAYS looking for some good non-siege-related fun. We’ll even have some of our people sit out if you can only muster 10-15. Just toss one of us an in-game PM and we’d be happy to meet up. I’m not joking, either. We fought DR from BP several times last matchup in a scrim-like atmosphere because they asked us if we were interested.

Edit:

@KStudios: Who are you, again? I don’t think I’ve seen your guild before, unless it was inside a herd of EBay running into a keep/sitting on the walls on siege. Even so, it’s easy to miss individual tags amidst the blob.

cyborG.3026:

Looking forward to this matchup

Not really. SoS is going to win because of their oceanic presence.

GH is probably one of the most siege-happy guilds I’ve ever run into. Have yet to see EBay fight open-field unless they outnumber the opposing force at least 2:1.

I suggest taking a few deep breaths. Maybe some yoga, gotta watch that blood pressure.

Idk, I feel pretty calm. We just switched BLs and had a really good time fighting SoS on their BL. If EBay wants to hide behind ACs all day, they’re free to do that. Should probably join the Devon Carter fan club, though, because you’re pretty much poster children for his 5-year plans. However, it’s not gonna stop me or anyone else on Mag from calling you out for being poor players who hide in keeps all day.

What mystifies me, though, is that the only other server I have ever faced who spams siege as much as EBay is JQ. FA, DB, TC, SoS, BP, YB, CD, KN. None of them drop as much crap as you guys. It’s a weird kind of experience.

To all ebay

please don’t be boring tonight. Thank you

To all Mags,

Then please don’t roll with 15+ on our BL after midnight then complain about us being boring when we’re not even there. You’re welcome.

oh no, we have 15+? GH has had 25+ for 3 straight hours on the map. There were multiple ballistae/AC in every camp and tower we checked.

Also we left several hours before midnight, so idk who your’e talking about

SoS being 100x more fun right now

Well I have been in the TS and GH has not had more than 25 in channel the entire evening since reset. Additionally, they generally have people in multiple places around the map at any given time. Perhaps you have stereoscopic rendering enabled? that does somewhat double up everything you see if you are on a standard monitor.

You are right about the Ballistae. There was 2 Balllistae built inside keeps when the gates fell. I guess you would prefer that we don’t defend keeps or towers? And you think its boring now?

So you don’t actually count groups and throw out arbitrary numbers because your group wipes and then confuse rangers for arrow carts, then in one sentence complain about how boring the matchup is while complaining about servers defending their stuff. If you really don’t want resistance and just want the profits, try PvE. The loot is way better there.

GH is probably one of the most siege-happy guilds I’ve ever run into. Have yet to see EBay fight open-field unless they outnumber the opposing force at least 2:1.

GuardianOMS.8067:

Okay, EBay, this is the second reset in a row this had happened. You lane break to get a southern tower from Mag and you end up losing your keep because if it.

Why?

Another equally important question:

Why so many ACs?

because when you are outnumbered, 2 AC’s to fight a group is acceptable in a keep?

Unless you were talking about that fight in Bay where we had 1 that was already built that you left sitting there unharmed.

Ark has been running with 20 all night. EBay has been rolling with at least 30 to a queue, depending on the encounter. Every. Single. Time we push you anywhere on your BL, you drop ACs. It’s sad.

GuardianOMS.8067:

Okay, EBay, this is the second reset in a row this had happened. You lane break to get a southern tower from Mag and you end up losing your keep because if it.

Why?

Another equally important question:

Why so many ACs?

Oh, for sure. Anyone who thinks that these garbage WvW seasons are going to be about anything but coverage are kidding themselves. WvW success in this game isn’t measured by individual or server skill; it’s measured by the number of ACs you have guarding gates/chokes and how many bodies you can throw at a tower/keep/castle door. I think that’s both sad and utterly boring in a game mode that has incredible potential.

Also, something important to remember, what works in GvG always works in general WvW, but what works in WvW rarely works in GvG. That is, I build my character the same (barring a weapon swap) for general WvW with my guild as I do for our GvGs. My build may change a bit, depending on what we need, but it’s fairly static.

Jinks.2057:

The meta on GvG has shifted oozo. You will always have some form of stacking due the combo field mechanics but if you watch how Agg/Ark have lost the fights you will see it.

As for stacking up to kill zergs….that won’t be changing. Hammer trains will also stay prevalent due to them including tankier classes. Remember your going balls deep against 4-1 odds

Kind of. I’m certain we could have taken a couple more rounds off of GF, but we had some l2p issues and miscommunication about builds and their role in our team comp. We’ve talked about them in-guild and are currently fixing them so we can hopefully win the next time we fight GF

Also, Ark and GF run more balanced comps, whereas Agg was traditionally more frontline-heavy. Meta is shifting more towards balanced comps, as it should, so I’m sure you’ll see a lot of diversity soon enough. That is, if GvG isn’t utterly neutered thanks to the AC fanboys we have creating our content.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you’re having a lot of problems staying alive as a mesmer in fights it’s either you’re specced incorrectly or there’s an L2P issue. Mesmers have some phenomenal get-out-of-jail-free cards. I’d suggest traiting into them.

GvGs will still exist. There are areas in which the Bloodlust buff won’t apply, as well as the possibility of guilds playing interference to stop the buff from appearing during the match. It’ll be more difficult, but the scene will still exist. It’s a pity that the devs are trying so hard to strangle the GvG community (scnd vs VII gvg stream had over 1k viewers), but that’s another argument for another thread.

The problem with full Cleric’s is that your health is dangerously low. Around 14000, iirc. That’s about 6k HP lower than where you need to be. Especially during the queue fights that TC encounters where lag kicks in and it becomes a game of “who spams 1 the best.” I do use some Cleric’s armor in conjunction with Celestial accessories to hit my stat caps, but I’m not entirely in Cleric’s gear. I’d be far too squishy if that was the case.

TC is in an odd place because it has the coverage of a tier 1.5 server. Enough to put up a halfway decent fight in T1 and more than enough to dominate T2. Mag, my server, is in a similar place being T2.5. We have literally 0 SEA/Oceanic guilds, an NA pop that can queue 2 maps on a good night, and an EU pop that is composed of NA daytime players and a scattered few EU who are in the karma train. So, I feel your pain. That said, I’d never transfer anywhere else because Maguuma is, imo, the best server NA. Fantastic community, an above-average skill level, lots of GvG guilds, etc… Love it here.

I’d look into Celestial accessories if I were you. You’re missing a lot of potential by neutering your Healing Power that badly. Here’s what I hit with my stat combo:

1800 Power (w/ Sharpening Stone, no might)
22% Crit Chance
62% Crit Damage
3100 Armor
21k HP (20k base; 22k w/ food active; 24.5 w/ guard stacks)
700-860 Healing Power depending on my active weapon

I like your stat distrib; too many people run 30 virtues when you really only need 1. Neutered self-sustain, too.

Empowering Might isn’t as useful as Two-Handed Mastery, unless multiple guardians are traited for it (my personal opinion).

My dodge rolls heal for 1k a pop and book 1 spam for even more. You’re hurting yourself if you don’t look into healing power.

On-kill sigils should be used in open-world WvW zergfest bonanzas, but never, ever bring that to a GvG or any small-scale fight where you know the enemy won’t be dropping like it’s hot. Go for Fire or Energy in those cases.

Edit:

Something else I forgot to mention. GS/Hammer is usually only taken if you’re planning on running with Judge’s Intervention in order to catch the enemy and prep for a bomb. GS/Staff is better and more general, in my opinion. Although I don’t really know the level of organization the group you run with typically displays.

Which server are you on?

Ark doesn’t have more than 20-25 people running with us, unless it’s reset night when Agg normally joins us because Agg doesn’t organize for reset. There were more than 20 BP by the end coming at us during our skirmish outside of NWT. We also got ran over by a queue blob of BP outside their keep in Eternal about a half hour later. So yeah.

Buffy.9246:

Sil.4560:

Played a little tonight. Remembered why I hadn’t all week – there is nothing impressive out there. Some group from BP – Borlis Savers guild – actually sat on a wall for ten solid minutes and refused a duel. Other players are downright disappointing.

Do not come on forums complaining no one will dual you. That is utter childish. You can not force anyone to dual you. If you want to dual, go fight the 1s near windmill or wherever dualing takes place or go into Spvp. WvW is meant for groups to fight each other. I haven’t stepped in wvw much this week because of Maguuma server, Don’t like that server at all since I have seen nothing but bad sportmanship from them. I do not know if you are mag or ebay but Mag can’t seem to fight 1v1 anyway. From roaming for daily I seen mag run from me only to come back with a group of 5+ following just to kill one player. I hear that alot from other people that Maguuma can’t fight alone, but you do not see me coming onto forums and posting ridiculous posts like that. I just go opposite way and finish my daily then leave.

Every single night we have to resort to breaking down keep walls to even get BP/EBay to play. Yesterday night, we ended up cataing down NWT on BP BL to try and get some action. Then we skirmished for 15 minutes or so (during which one of our members got PMs saying that apparently we were trash who could “only move really well together” but “had no damage,” except we kept insta-downing people who got caught in our bombs? idk), and then moved on to open-field trebbing down garrison to see if we could get people to come play. BP dropped a counter-treb inside garri and disappeared. Yawn.

Only good fight we got last night was at Golanta where EBay kept res-rushing and snuck behind us to build ACs in the camp. EBay building open-field siege? Blasphemy! Don’t get me wrong, it was a ton of fun and lasted for 20 minutes or so without any interference on our side (a rare occurrence), but the amount of siege being built to try and wipe us was both unsurprising and sad.

Don’t even get me started that there’s only one guild on all of EBay and BP who offered to GvG.

Such a fun matchup.

Niim.9260:

dreztina.4820:

I can’t even begin to understand how someone would consider that fun.

Cut the community some slack, a few months ago everyone was excited that they could stack and blast. Look how far they have come in a year of WvW fighting evolution:

- wow we are running in the same direction
- check out this stack
- look we can blast while stacking
- yay for PVT armor
- hammers are fun
- if all of our other crutches fail we have warbanner!

I think it is interesting to speculate where it will go next. If they didn’t all use the target system so they could follow each other I would guess we might see something crazy like target calling and assist trains. Maybe folks will figure out that stacking is not worth the loss in momentum or positioning.

Crazy times!

The reason why groups stack is to reach the AoE cap and reduce damage. It’s also important to do mid-fight to “reset” the fight. What I mean by this, is that the regrouping allows everyone to heal up to full HP via water field blasts and gain almost full stacks of might via empower. In a sense, it returns your party to the condition it was in before the fight even started.

However, regrouping becomes very dangerous if your team is forced on the defensive due to pressure from the enemy. Although, if that happens you’ve already lost because you’ve given control of the match to the enemy, so it’s a bit of a toss-up.

Lastly, people need to understand that there is a very big difference between a hammer train and a balanced comp. The fact that 4 warriors use hammers in a 15-man comp doesn’t make it a hammer train. Not even close, to be honest.

God BP could you be any more boring? We wiped all your stuff in EB than most of our people moved on. I was the red warrior trolling you guys at Anz but you wouldn’t fight one on one. You used two ac and 4-5 people and I still managed to down all of you. Yes you killed me when all of you came to get me. But seriously how boring you wouldn’t talk or fight even numbers.
All I wanted was to rumble but you can’t even play fair. Was still worth kicking all your kittens solo though.

Go Spvp bro, lots of even numbered fights there, if you can’t handle it, get out of WvW.

On a side note this is by far the most boring WvW match I have ever taken part in, I usually have 2-3 vids out throughout the week and this week I have 0 and will have 0.

By the number of posts I make that are removed I know Anet scans these forums so please, change it so we never roll down again. Every night its just run around the map a couple times, find no one and then call it a night.

So from now on Mag is to only roll up plz, thx.

You are totally right I forgot its WvW ! Heaven forbid someone tries to have fun with another server. I handled it just fine since I killed four of you guys, than you built two ac’s to deal with one warrior and called people in.
Also might not be so boring for you guys if you didn’t run from every engagement unless you have 5 to 1 odds. Even than you still get hammered to death. All week I’ve heard from our commanders god we never should have won that! But yet we still do!

We here at Maguuma fight the top servers usually every other week. Yes we lose in points, but we always at least fight. Try getting organized and quit running actually work on a strategy. Sorry to offend you Bro

You do realize that [Ark] is on Maguuma and almost every engagement we get into has us outmanned, right?

Uncle Shags.9017:

Please. Don’t act like your server is some bastion of fair play.

Last night BP, with at least double our numbers, snuck in behind us during a tower take and flash built siege just inside the door rather than fight us with 2 to 1 odds. We took out those build sites only to watch them immediately do it again. The sad part is that shows an organized, planned effort to be…pathetic.

Maguuma is no better. Last night in EB we get inside just as they take Wildcreek. Again, at least double our numbers and they decide to throw a superior AC in the lord’s room. Invulnerable lord plus superior AC? GG.

Those living in glass houses…

When talking about Maguuma there’s something really important to be aware of, and that is our karma train. You’ll never find an organized guild group on Maguuma building open-field siege unless absolutely forced to. i.e. Enemy keeps queue blobbing all over a 25-man group, so we build siege to even the odds. What you found in EB was Mag’s karma train. The pubbies do what they want; we can’t control them.

Plus, there’s a large difference between siege inside a keep and open-field. Siege defending a keep? Go ahead. I personally think it’s kind of boring to be forced into a long siege with trebs because a gate has 5-6 ACs defending it, but so be it. Mag has to do that during oceanic time so our 10-30 defenders can hold our garrison against servers with an actual oceanic presence.

Last night, though, EBay dropped around 10 pieces combined of superior siege in open-field to deal with a group of 18. That’s sad and boring. Yes, I think we’re probably far better in open-field. However, I’d love nothing more than to be proved wrong because that would mean we’d get some actual good fights without having to break into keeps/towers to goad the opposing server to come out and play. Most nights we start PvDing to actually get some action.

Dagraan.2854:

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

Dagraan.2854:

don’t forget it actually heals to, if your playing a guardian dps should never be your main concern because lets be honest every other class who’s skills don’t deal with healing/boosting or damage migation. are going to be doing way more damage than you.

and not to mention a zerker player who doesn’t have to use his heal skill is a zerker doing more damage.

“Every other class” being mesmers, thieves, and eles, I assume. Guardian is very firmly middle-of-the-road in terms of overall DPS output. If you want to heal so badly, play an engie or an elementalist. A tiny bit of regen and a 1.5k burst of healing every 20 seconds is not a healer. An engie heals for triple that in the same period of time just from using his own heal skill, and doesn’t have to give up a thing to do it. That’s not even including the other stuff you can take to burst even more healing if you really want it.

if you think that an ele or an engie is a better healer than a guardian than you have no idea about guardians.
every other class who’s 90% of skills don’t have to deal with damage mitigation or healing/boons giving.
curious how you didn’t include the king of pve which is the warrior, and really the only use mesmers have is portals and timewarp.
guardian may be middle of the road for dps, but their tier 1 for healing and support.
and the longer you can keep the tier 1 dps’r from not having to stop and use his heal skill the more damage they can do. which btw is much more than a guardians.

Or the warriors could learn to dodge and the guardian could go full DPS? DPS guardian brings everything to the table that a healspec guard does, except the high healing power. Which is a moot stat if your team is capable of dodging mechanics properly like the game intended.

Sick. So glad EBay is in this matchup.

We have 18 people, btw.

Lol wow, I think building open field siege every once in awhile is not a bad thing but in every picture you guys posted there is an AC or Ballista. That’s just ridiculous!

Best part is that was all a ~1h engagement as EBay blobbed up, sieged up, and gradually pushed us to SWT. Hell yes.

Ark accepting all GvGs. If you take offense to your server being called bad, prove to us that you’re halfway decent! There’s nothing that Mag respects more than a guild who GvGs, no lie.

40 man EB siege creeping on our 17 man

lol

If you are going to claim a 40 man siege creep you might want to post a picture that actually shows 40 people siege creeping instead of a screenshot of 15 people.

Just a note, your numbers doubled in the time between that screenshot and when we actually wiped, too. So yeah. EBay is probably in the tier it deserves. You siege creep harder than any T2 server.

There were 5 other build sites that we blew up, too. Not to mention the 3 sup ACs and the ballista on the wall.

I get that you were probably trolling us, but it’s honestly saddening that EBay is incapable of fighting both in the open field and without siege. One of the most boring matchups ever. Hopefully next week we get matched up with a server who fields more than one GvG guild and has some semblance of skill.

EK in EBay BL was fun just now. Haven’t seen that many ballistae spam built in a long time. Still took you what, almost a half hour to kill us? Our staff ele logged before we even went in there, too, so we had no eles at all.

Edit: Sup AC built on an attempt at SWT using the stealth cata spot. There wasn’t anyone in there, nor was there siege, so I can only imagine that you build the Sup AC as cover. Honestly some of the most pathetic tactics I’ve ever seen. T1 meta, yo! If you lack skill, siege creep!

#420blazeitup #magswag

Mag/Ebay/BP is beyond dull. BP and EBay hide in towers/keeps from our 20-man guild group all night. I’m really looking forward to the league season of garbage so we can play coverage wars for 2 more months and get rewarded for bandwagoning ! ! !

Got the “catch-up” attack speed increase after massive skill lag in EBG. PvD’d down Klovan and EBay’s outer gate in about as long as it would take sup rams with 25 of us. Ridiculous.

Sorry I spiked you – but you shouldn’t have jumped me – Screenied for posterity – ignore my broken armor – I was nubbing it up in pve earlier… XD

awko taco

Here’s your solution.

1. Buy a Backpack SET. It’s important that it’s a set because the sets give you a white Backpack Strap.
2. Transmute the backpack on to the white strap, choosing the Ascended as the skin and the Strap as the base. This makes the backpack account-bound.
3. Move the backpack on to the character you want the Ascended backpack to stick on.
4. Use a Transmutation Splitter to split the Ascended backpiece from the Backpack Strap. The end result Ascended backpiece is soulbound to that character, so don’t mess it up!

I used this method to move a fractal capacitor from my first guardian to my new warrior a couple days ago, so it works. Hope it helps!

500W PSU is kind of overkill if the OP is not planning on doing xfire or getting a jucier GPU. Even then, you could probably get away with 400-450, depending on which GPU you choose.

This topic is losing to the SoR/TC/SoS topic… was expecting much more out of u “forum entertainers”, this is such a let down.

Last Mag + BP thread was just a bunch of boring borderline RP trying to get the thread to 20 posts and a lot of BP chest-thumping about how “we would roll Mag if the third server in the matchup was more even.”

Hardly impressive.

I don’t see how this is a problem. If anything, it’s a necessary implementation. The limited stat options on backpieces has been an oversight for far too long.

Why are people running stack weapons in GvG’s?…… Scrubs

Isn’t it like an unwritten rule that you’re not supposed to do that?

Pretty much, but personally i have never been bothered by the notion cause i consider it along the lines of food and oil/stone/crystal. I often encourage ppl pick up a cheap weapon to throw a major stack sigil on to buff up their stats as we do things that don’t involve combat with the enemy. The hatred towards them has been growing though and not many are willing to put up with the trouble. /shrug

What does that have to do with GvG? o_o You’re not supposed to do it in GvG because it’s supposed to be about equal footing and stack sigils create a small snowball effect over time. Though it also makes me sad that they plan to make it so if you remove a stack sigil weapon, you lose all of your stacks.

Oh, i was relating this to GvG because it is a preparation, and i consider preparations such as crystals, sigils, food, etc. fair game- but my sentiment is not shared with many and you depend on consensus for GvGs.

You don’t lose food, sigils, etc… on death. Stacks, though, you lose. That’s why they’re not allowed.
