This world vs world suck atm ! How can you enjoy to zerg like that, everyone ?

Blob, queue, crash, lag, freeze, all around the map, we can’t use skill/siege weapon even if we are not on fight. Really guys, who like this ?

Stop this asap please!

Let’s just wait until Deso drop tier. They seem to enjoy blobbing from their last TS meeting, let’s them have some fun farming their 30 first ranks to get +1 supply.

So Sfr blob at night, in the morning, during the day and at prime time.

But we are the cause of all blobs in the game? Grow up.

How dare can you answer with your 80 IRON blob? Such a pity. Have fun spamming one mate. I don’t care about pugs gathering on a commander when their guild is not online, but seeing all guilds on prime time sticking eachother is just ridiculous.

We just lost garrison to what must have been quite seriously at least 100 SFR. It was the blobbiest of all the blobs.

So…yeah. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

The guild things seem to be relatively confined to LA for me. My character can access the bank in the grove and can see build queue there. Can do neither in LA.

Although, another character couldn’t see the bank in Hoelbrak so, who knows.

Still broken for me too.

Guild build queue empty (while half way through building trek, think this is a visual bug we’ve encountered before though), some people are being told they’re not representing, we don’t have a guild bank anymore apparently.

Please bring it all back

The transcript has this line about Warriors:

“Warrior has insane specs in PvE, but don’t work in PvP, get shut down by condition damage. Changes to help them against condition damage.”

That sounds like exactly what warriors need. Because we are OP in PvE, by far. If they really can give us some way of defending against Condition Damage for PvP I’ll be happy.

Kilrain Daggerspine.6843:

So apperntly Guild Trek dosnt give Comms… seriously whats up with that?

This needs to be addressed, I’d really like to know if this is true.

Anet said you could eventually get 1 ascended earring a week through guild commendations.

If it’s only 2 per mission and trek doesn’t count, how can you get 12 per week?

If Desolation have ever had 70-90 people all in one blob at any one point I will eat my hat.

Resouled.5614:

So THE PvP update is turning into a PvE update once again .

Are you talking sPvP or WvW?

Because they said quite a while ago that March was actually going to be the WvW patch now, they don’t want to rush stuff out.

It wasn’t unexpected.

That partially answers my concern that I posted above, but I am more concerned with the amount of gold I could potentially make. Not from the mats .. though, I did sell 2 of them .. but especially from the large amount of the Unidentifiable Objects .. I got a LOT of them. I did as iruleds.2591 did and spent a few hundred K on those boxes .. I wanted the mini .. turns out I got 4 (thought it was 3 but just checked before posting this).

I just want to know that this is intended .. that it’s okay to sell the stuff .. that it is NOT considered an exploit to do so .. that whole snowflake incident has me panicky about this .. I LOVE my account/game and worked hard to get to this point. :\

Those unidentifiable objects? Literally the only thing you CAN do with those things is sell them. You’re panicking over nothing.

Is it currently uncontested anywhere, EU preferably?

Mark Katzbach.9084:

Hey all, in order to help us to track down this issue, could you please post the following if you are getting this error:

• The full error code number
• If you are playing on a North American or European world
• What map you were in before you were logged out and could not log in again

Thanks for your help

Error code: 42:5:7:878:101
Server: EU (Desolation)
Map: I was in WvW, kicked me out due to patch, but before I could load into LA it DC’d me out of the game.

It’s a lot of fun. It’s not that difficult (we did it with four people, for example). It’s definitely well worth doing.

Jabberwock.9014:

Just great. I didn’t participate in the event AND had a bunch of buy orders on exotics to flip, which have now tanked in value thanks to this unforseeable turn of events. Now I’m sitting on 30 exotic armors that I paid way too much for. Thanks a lot.

Not exactly unforseeable either.

They’ve been saying for weeks people were going to get their items in the mail, and then they narrowed it down to “late this week” at the beginning of this week. So…how is that unforseen?

ComeAndSee.1356:

I’ve been crit for 9.7k Kill Shot with 3,200 armor.

Also, WvW is mass chaos. You don’t have a radar showing the dude behind twenty others is about to nuke you for half your HP.

It’s no different than people saying “lol dodge” when you’re being root / slow spammed and two warriors jump you and haste hundred blades.

If he’s hiding behind 20 others then that kill shot practically becomes insignificant.

If you have an equal number of people then you’ll immediately be rezzed and no harm no foul.

If you’re outnumbered, chances are you’re dead anyway. If you just run away from the zerg you’ll almost certainly run out of that warriors LOS or range. Even if he does hit you, well. That’s zergs for you. Stuff like that will happen.

Kill Shot is a large animation self rooting, long cast time skill. All you need to do is move, run away, block or reflect. If he’s cut his cast time to 1s it means he’s hit frenzy. Reflect that sucker back for 30k hit.

What a surprise.

You got hit for a lot of damage by a glass cannon warrior. From the looks of things you’re a base-hp glass cannon ranger too, right?

What did you really expect, doing that sort of damage is all they can do. A light breeze will kill them. The skill you got hit with has a 2 second cast time and a ridiculously obvious animation. Just…move.

I love the spirit of Desolation. We never give up. Always trying to take ground and keep a respectable number of points, even in the face of great adversity.

Been in every night so far since the reset and we’ve had outmanned 90% of the time, yet we still try to take your towers and your keeps. We dig in and we fight hard.

Yeah, they seem to have broken something

Nidhogg.2950:

Some people will use names to send insults or to threaten, you can report those people then should that happen.

I’d happily put up with those people if it means being able to talk to my opponent. I frequently used the Report function to do so and not once has it degraded in an exchange of insults.

Id rather see this responsibility given back to the players, to act in a mature and civilised manner, with incorrect behavior corrected when necessary(there is an ignore/report function).

Assuming people will not be able to handle such responsibility and treat them like so will just mean they will feel justified in acting in an immature manner. While people in these forums insult each other at times there often are helpfull or supportive comments as well.

Have you kept up to date with the T1 WvW threads? Almost all it is is people whining and complaining.

That would only get 100 million times worse if you made names public.

Raincrow.1840:

If the best gear in the game droped only in WvW, everyone would be in WvW.

Instead they’re all doing fractals. Not because they all enjoy it, but because the game bribes them to be there while WvW is just a gold sink.

I have a few issues with your statement.
1. Most people I know do thoroughly enjoy fractals and THAT’S why they do it.
2. The game does not “bribe them to be there”. They don’t have to if they don’t want to. The rings that drop aren’t going to be a major factor.
3. I make money in WvW. It’s not difficult. If you’re constantly upgrading stuff then I can see how you might lose it, but that’s what guild banks are for.

War Mourner.5168:

If you’re that worried about griefing and the petty name calling that invariably happens, and aren’t already satisfied with the ability to block and report them, then give players the ability to turn off off chat from the enemy side, block whispers that aren’t from from friends/guild mates (something that should have been in to start with); hell, if you really want, give them an option to hide their player name like it is currently.

Or, how about we keep it the way it is now so there’s no opportunity for being harrassed?

Why should I have to go to extra effort just to not be harrassed, so that you can improve your kitten?

This is GW2. Not DAOC2. It doesn’t work the same way. Get used to it.

[BoA] were around last night, playing in Deso’s home border. Used the relatively empty map to practice some techniques and have some fun. Managed to take Garrison, SH and both northern towers before I decided to shoot off to bed.

While we were relatively unopposed, it was a good chance to try out new things, and perfect old things

People already whisped you to insult you when you killed them before, when they were able to get your account name through the report feature.

ArenaNet took that ability out.

That should tell you how they feel about identifying enemies.

Also. You said that you learned people by sight. Well…do that here then. The one thing you CAN do here is recognise enemies by sight (even if they are all the same colour, some are still very noticeable).

Having names visible would make these wvw threads soooo much worse. Hell, half of them get closed down as it is. Allowing specific calling out of players isn’t going to fly.

brandon.6735:

Brunners,
It’s not about the loot or credit. People inside the tower can still revive him when he dead.

Ok, there’s two scenarios that I envisage here.

A) You were going mano-a-mano with a warrior, somewhere in the vicinity of his tower. You downed him. You go to finish him but he hammers you. You’re knocked down. You get back up, start to finish again but BAM. Too slow. He’s vengeanced up and has run back to his tower. He dies, you get kill credit and loot. He’s now a dead warrior inside a tower that could potentially be empty. Maybe he gets lucky and one of the NPC’s res’s him. Maybe not. Maybe he ends up having to lie there dead till someone rez’s him. He also now has a damaged armour piece.

B) You were zerging a tower. This warrior popped out the gate while defending and started attacking. There are people inside. You’ve downed him. He vengeances and gets back into the tower at which point he dies for an immediate rez from a team mate. You get kill credit and loot again, and he has damaged armour, again. Also. This scenario would beg the question: How did you not finish him before vengeance came off cooldown?

The warrior one if you’ve downed us and we’re vengeancing up to get into a tower we’re still going to die and you’ll still get credit/loot. If we’re vengeancing to run away chances are we’re also going to die anyway unless we manage to find and kill a mob in that time while being traited into sweet revenge.

Chances are with a warrior you’ll get your kill credit and loot.

Ele’s will go downed → mist form → into tower → downed and then self rez right back up.

Feels like two completely different issues.

Webley.1295:

Im looking forward for SFR to meet Deso again. We won last time (That was before you had ruin) and it looks like we will be meeting again in T2 and you will be again without them.

I loved the fights against IRON and GoD. I am really hopping on seeing them again as I saw them last time. If IRON or GoD arent there it wouldnt feel like a rematch with DESO, it would feel like just another server.

A word of warning though guys. SFR is on the rise I think. We should be sticking around T2 for a bit this time round.

Webley – SFR

We could still be going the other way, down to T3. Not sure whether we’re quite strong enough yet to stick around in T2, we’ll have to wait and see I suppose!

iiMulch.2138:

Very funny how you people claim that all desolation are pugs and “know nothing about tactics” when GoD and many other guilds are doing an awesome job in wvw. Use mesmer portals/turtle/etc. And are very organised. I think you should rethink before you post crap like that and stop thinking you are the kings of desolation wvw.

You aren’t the only wvw guild around theres many others on different borderlands doing a good job.

They’re easily the biggest and most recognisable. You’re fibbing if you say any different.

GP, GoD and a few others are also recogniseable but both disappeared for a long stretch of time. I didn’t see any GoD in Wuvwuv for what felt like weeks!

Hello,

Our teams read this sub-forum very carefully every day, to gather your feedback and concerns.

However, due to the amount of threads & posts here, they can not answer to everyone or to every issues. But be sure that they are working very hard on this specific aspect of the game

Cute, but lying to your customers dont make you any more trustworthy, neither will it make the people that play this game for the WvW stop making posts here.

The only thing that will make people shut up is either solid info or actions ingame. 3 months into the game, and Arenanet has shown neither so far.

Brunners.7251:

Yeah well moaning on here isn’t doing anyone any good, is it?

You don’t know what they’re working on or what they’re doing.
You have no clue as to how simple or difficult those bugs are to fix.
You have no idea what the plan is for wvw.

So stop whining, it’s not getting anyone anywhere. To assume they’re not doing anything or ignoring wvw’ers is such an absurd conclusion.

EDIT: Also they nerfed the turtle tactic. So there’s something else.

The fact that they tell us NOTHING about future WvW updates, while they bring plenty of info about upcomming sPvP and PvE content tells me that we have nothing comming.

So far they have removed orbs and turtles. 2 things that didnt solve any issues, but instead rolled back the game.

The fact that they delayed that last reset with 1½ hour and didnt even care to inform anyone know about it, knowing that thousands of players were sitting around waiting for it shows how much they care. Even more when they during that same period made several tweets regarding pve kitten.

They HAVE told you stuff about WvW.

I remember very clearly them recently stating that they’re working very hard on big stuff for WvW and that everyone should be patient because they don’t want to promise anything before it’s ready.

Almost the entirity of the Desolation server took the week off. We don’t WANT to be in Tier 1 and want to drop down a number of tiers ASAP.

You have no idea how easy to fix those bugs are.

They might look simple to someone who doesn’t know how the game is built. IT could be those things break something else more important and they need to find a fix for the entire thing.

You have NO idea what they’re doing or how they’re working so why do you automatically jump to the negative?

zastari.1730:

Moderator.6837:

A winkie-face doesn’t make us sure. The fact that a dev has told us more than a month ago that there are changes coming to WvW and they still haven’t been implemented is concerning (see thread titled “A Small Update”). The fact that basic WvW bugs aren’t being fixed is even more concerning. Vague posts and assurances aren’t sufficient right now.

Maybe because they decided to work on something big and awesome for WvW and release it all in one large update?

You have no idea what they’re doing so trying to incite panic and complaining all the time isn’t going to get you anywhere.

Yes, some stuff in WvW needs fixing, yes. Not much has changed in it since the game launched. You’re a fool to think they’re not working on it though. Just because they don’t actively post here constantly doesn’t mean they’re just sat on their kitten twiddling their thumbs.

Gamblit.5041:

I saw alote of Iron including 2 Commanders players in WvW this gaming week. Are you guys really resting?

Yeah. Iron are definitely taking it more easy than usual.

They didn’t say they wouldn’t be in wuvwuv at all though.

According to a dev different monsters like different targets.

Some like high toughness, some like melee, some like ranged, some like highest damage, some like the light armour.

I haven’t really figured out a way to predict whether I’m going to get agro yet.

I know Desolation is losing, but we can still have fun.

Just watched a guildmate, my wvw officer, stop a group of BT players from WIC from getting a camp (that wasn’t even ours to begin with) for nearly 5 minutes, jsut for funsies!

zoobaby.7804:

Warlord.9074:

All the players upset by this patch are the ones who turtle.

And the ones that farmed badgers from them….

Well they shouldn’t have been carrying around a bunch of badgers in the first place.

You guys have been incredibly positive despite all the crap you’ve taken this week.

I’m glad Desolation have you, and me and my guild are genuinely honoured to fight beside people with such morals and dignity.

With IRON as its backbone, Desolation will rise once more.

The fact is that they are only currently balancing for sPvP.

WvW and PvE = the same thing. They’re not balancing for WvW atm, because they’re allowing the same pve skills.

Their idea of balance in wvw is different to their idea of balance in wvw.

Lopez.7369:

That’s wrong. WvW has small-scale battles. Balance matters there.

The big battles are so big that balance doesn’t really matter.

Also, they specifically said WvW balance matters, so I have no idea why you keep saying that.

Well I heard the exact opposite. I heard they weren’t meant balancing wvw because it’s not supposed to be.

Never once have I seen them say that they’re specifically balancing for WvW. There’s a reason skills have only EVER been split for sPvP and WvW has always been left alone.

It. Doesn’t. Count.

yes but it’s impossible to balance for wuvwuv because there’s so many people and so much going on. It’s not MEANT to be balanced.

sPvP IS meant to be balanced, and hence the difference.

it’s not that surprising. They balance for sPvP. They don’t balance for Wuvwuv. it’s not strange that wuvwuv doesn’t count as pvp for their pvp only changes then.

I’ve already heard people complain that MF gear sucks in dungeons, and you’re just making it more vital that magic find gear is used?

Romek.4201:

quote:

“I question really if Ruin is a proper PVP guild because a proper PVP Guild would relish this challenge of so many organized guilds to fight. I know from an RG point of view if we came up against the said guilds we would probably make a point of killing them all thats the mentality here.”

do it – next week go with RG to Desolation and show how good you are or just hot air?

We did it allready we went to Riverside from Piken Square for a few days to face vs Blacktide and Seafarers Rest that is how we ended up on Blacktide. Besides from what i hear Desolation has insane queue or did at least. The problem is Desolation from what i can gather is lots of little bands you need that big guild to spread fear into the opposition IRON and GOD are ok i guess they need better tactics and more aggression if you ask me.

That could not be further from the truth.

Desolation has barely any queue, ever.

You are right in that IRON are our biggest WvW guild. I’m not sure if you can count GOD. They tend to disappear. In fact all of our big guilds that were supposed to be wvw heavy seem to disappear for long stretches. GP and CBO are two others that are supposedly WvW minded and yet I rarely see either of them around anymore.

But we don’t have lots of these little bands, either. We literally have IRON, about two or three other smaller guilds and then no one.

We barely have anyone left right now.

just wanted to let you know about my guild, Brothers of Aesir [BoA].

We’re a small, tight knit community of 30 members, with a core of 12/15. We speak every night on TS and TS is always full of banter and random larks.

We regularly organise guild stuff, such as Orichalcum runs, Dungeon Runs, WvW and we even dabble in sPvP. We try to run at least one dungeon a night and atm are running all three paths of AC for tokens, with the occasional HotW run too (for the stats)

While the majority of us (read: nearly all) have already got 80s, we’re always willing to help someone new to the game with any parts they need help with, be that questions or a story mission or crafting mats to buy armour. Anything we can do to help as a guild we will.

We’re an 18+ guild, with ages ranging from 18-39 (although we do have one 16 year old, but he’s cool, so it’s all gravy).

We are currently saving up to level up my officers alt and get him a commander title to help in WvW.

We play on Desolation (EU) and we’re an official part of the alliance with the largest WvW guild on our server and are slowly building up a WvW reputation. (Very slowly :P)

We have a website at brothersofaesir.eu. If you’re interested just reply back here with any questions you may have.

Cheers,
Brunners.

Archaos.4953:

Benjamin.7893:

What RUIN did is indeed very sad, but most guilds on Blacktide have no reason to complain considering they left Far Shiverspeaks for roughly the same reasons.

Pot meet kettle.

The majority of the guilds on Blacktide are recent transfers. Only XAOC and a few other “hardcore” wvw guilds were on Blacktide when we fought and beat them a few weeks ago. The Blacktide project of bringing together more guilds to increase time zone coverage was clearly successful and those who orchestrated it deserve credit.

Ruin being on Blacktide is irrelevant. Ruin is moving to Planetside 2. Desolation would have had to cope with our departure regardless of the outcome of this match. Throwing a fit about it doesn’t change those facts.

As I wrote previously the small contingent of Ruin remaining in GW2 chose to continue fighting in tier 1 on Blacktide as it seems to be the most viable international server. The very same reasons that guilds from Far Shiverpeaks and other EU servers have joined Blacktide in the last two – three weeks.

Except they were asked over and accepted the invite.

You asked to go and were told no, and have gone anyway.

They’re two COMPLETELY different situations.

Also, that new paragraph that Archaos added about RUIN not giving a kitten about sportsmanship, well, just goes to show the sort of people you are really aren’t you.

Willing to ruin everyone elses fun just so you can feel like a winner. GJ.

Archaos.4953:

To whom it may concern,

There seems to be a great deal of speculation regarding RUIN in Europe, our intentions and objectives.

To set the record strait:

The official position on www.Ruinnation.com details our plans and guild objectives.

In regards to Guild Wars 2 Ruin has been in talks with guilds from Blacktide and Far Shiverpeaks (that later joined Blacktide) for several weeks.

There have been Ruin members on Blacktide in contact with most of the major guilds there for some time. Most of these members have been ordered not to have Ruin tags represented while we were engaged in transfers.

Ruin has been in the process of moving to Blacktide since the start of this week’s match up.

We do not claim to be responsible for the Blacktide’s victory in any way. At best only a handful of Ruin members have been on the battlefield on Blacktide, no more than 50-100.

Ruin ultimately plays for enjoyment and entertainment. As everyone should. Our officers and member base put in their maximum effort fighting Vizunah and Arborstone for two weeks putting in often 70-90 hours a week. This was not sustainable. No guild can be expected to cover four zones around the clock indefinitely.

So you come to Desolation, stay until there’s actual work to be done and then leave for Blacktide because you know there’s going to be more doors to go down?

Blacktide guilds have said in here that you spoke to them and then they told you NO, so you move anyway?

The thing is, RUIN came to Desolation with a bad reputation but no one from the EU really knew what they were about.

Yes people had their doubts but RUIN could always claim that they were here for the 24/7 challenge in tier 1 and no one could categorically prove them wrong.

They don’t HAVE that luxury this time. Now everyone knows they’re server hopping for easy wins so they can’t really show their face around here anymore because I highly doubt they have ANY respect left by anyone.

Brunners.7251:

They definitely have plans. Didn’t you see Habib’s post yesterday? They’re currently working on ways to reward players better in wvw that might also include some form of progression (I hope to god that would only be cosmetic though).

They’re definitely working on it, they’re just doing it silently, behind the scenes.

Whether we’ll see any of the changes they’re mentioning any time soon…who knows.

Yes I saw it. He said he could not tell us much but the reality he told us nothing. All other aspects of the game have had content updates and ANet have published details on more to come very soon. WvW is looking a sad, lonely and neglected member of the family.

Arena net are notoriously tight lipped about things they are working on. He quite clearly stated a number of things that they are looking at to improve wuvwuv, without making any “we’ll be doing this” promises.
