Guild Wars 2

It always helps the balance of a match when you have the same guild on 2 servers….can you say collusion?…..conflict of interest?? No wonder FA is getting it’s butt kicked.

We are taking a serious view on this and we already did the necessary action. We apologise for any misunderstandings caused by this. Thank you for posting this image to inform us about this.

Yet that could be a bug with the MOS site and/or GW2 API getting confused on the timestamps. I’ve seen that happen before.

lollasaurus.1457:

Tons of fun on FA BL, completely different game for me out of T1, much smaller zergs for the most part, actually able to enjoy small group fighting again too. Props to NERF and TSL and the CERN mesmer I dueled at ruins.

Thanks. Who were you? Our member who came over from SoR to escape the laggy T1 zergs was having PTSD flashbacks.

DrixTrix.7168:

ticking time bomb: The engineer realises he is going to not come out of this very easily, or at all so to save the bother he straps his ‘’big ol bomb’’ to himself with some extra spice and sets a light to the fuse:

- Burning
-Confusion
-Cripple
-blind

Suicide vest? Whut? Hehehehehe.

Phineas,
The build was made for a guild that is secretive about builds so I hope you understand why I will not share exact details. I will say that the difference in traits is relatively minor while the gear is better for WvW IMHO than what your build has.

Oresan,
I know, right? I was swapping more the second night. I wasn’t sure about this video at first because I was so entranced by the numbers popping all around me. LOL!

Some people are never happy, even when warnings are attached. Maybe caps will help…

EXCUSE THE NOOBNESS IN THE VIDEO. IT WAS MY FIRST TIME USING THAT BUILD.

P.S. Guild wants to recruit more engineers.

Here is a video of my debut running with Strident Iconoclast [SIC], a hardcore WvW guild. I’m running a modified build based on Phineas Poe’s FT/EG build. I had been toying with a few different FT/EG/RocketBoots builds and Poe’s is actually the best IMHO. Excuse the noobness in the video. It was my first time using that build.

Please fix ft 2! It is really awkward to require a target so it doesnt fall thru the ground while ft 1 is best used without a target.

VitalSuit.1980:

It’s not terrible design. It’s to keep people from spamming multiple skills in and out of water. It was like when we could heal above land and then go underwater and use our medkit heal as well (which was fixed)

For example imagine of elementalists could use mist form underwater, then go above land and use mistform again. Why the hell would they allow that…

Bad analogy. Mist Form is a single skill, not two different skills. The double-heal issue could have been limited to the healing slot. It is a terrible design to link cooldowns by slot. Should I slot something for underwater that has a lower cooldown than Rocket Boots? I just tried that in-game… It works! Yay!

Terrible design. There is nothing linking the two skills other than the slot they occupy. It’s like the game saying slots have a cooldown, not skills.

Ah, that’s Dirame. It is kind of confusing because it is right next to the actual stun breaker from EG on my toolbelt and I sometimes hit it instead of the one next to it.

Rocket boots cannot be used underwater so I have Slick Shoes equipped in that slot for aquatics. If I activate Slick Shoes underwater, then go on land, Rocket Boots is on the same cooldown as Slick Shoes. The Slick Shoes cooldown is way longer than Rocket Boots cooldown, making me a sad engie.

I realize my bug posts should be put in a different sub-forum, but I wanted to get input from the engineering community.

Edit: The opposite also occurs. Slotting a lower cooldown underwater skill in the same slot as a higher cooldown above-water skill lowers the cooldown on the above-water skill.

While using a new build last night, I noticed that the toolbelt skill for the Flamethrower, Incendiary Ammo, is able to be used while stunned. Of course I hit it while stunned, but it doesn’t break stun. So the bug is either that it is supposed to be a stun breaker and it isn’t working or it isn’t a stun breaker so why is it allowed to be activated while stunned?

I seen the same thing. Hasn’t been fatal so far.

kfarb.6732:

Of course garrison had few defenders, that’s why you lost it. But if you’re saying people didn’t rally quickly enough to defend despite being on the map, I’m not sure why you think it’s a good excuse.

If I was saying that, yes. I’m saying that FA didn’t quit, as was suggested earlier. If FA had truly quit, Mag would have taken hills too.

Draygo.9473:

The only reason FA BL had few defenders is the majority of FA was camping Cliffside in KBL with superior arrow carts.

Riiiiiiiiiight…. Because you were there on FABL, fighting for Fort Aspenwood. So you know exactly what happened and are qualified to explain it to us. NOT. Also, l2read. Garrison is not FABL.

I am still trying to make sense of this comment. Still doesn’t compute.

Let me look at it upside down, nope.

Also there were no zoomhacked arrow carts attacking your choke at Cliffside.

I’m still trying to make sense of why anyone would think FABL had so few defenders that night when my comment said it was garrison with few defenders. L2READ issues? Maybe holding it right-side-up will help.

SHAKA ZULU.3128:

For lulz, duh. And so that you’d post it on this forum and we get to see ourselves being silly.

saiyr.3071:

I guess FA quit playing because they weren’t having fun. That’s why we have their garrison and west keep, right?

Such a masterful maneuver to take garrison with very few defenders while we were busy fending you off at bay. What happened to you at hills? Did you quit?

Yep, I play a warrior alt and compare greatsword Rush and Mobile Strike to Rocket Boots. No way that Rocket Boots with Super speed is OP. Range on both is about the same.

Nice vids. More please, work is crawwwwling today.

Last nights highlights – http://youtu.be/lHBxLA5CYNw

So glad I mostly roam and run havoc…

Check out the FA community forum at www.fort-aspenwood.com. Lots of FA guilds recruiting there.

Hue hue hue, you got Mez in there complaining about engineer rocket boots. I approve.

Velron,

Willing to share your builds?

Yep, a little forewarning on the official thread about GvG here would have been helpful.

FA. Forewarning about GvG brings unwanted attention from trolls and in some cases have not happened because of this.

DB, sounds like you were trolled anyway.

P.S., I was not there and only heard about the incident here. Please don’t assume I speak for my server. That’s real annoying.

Yep, a little forewarning on the official thread about GvG here would have been helpful.

You guys should check the recruitment messages on www.fort-aspenwood.com. DPS is a large SEA WvW guild on FA that SpecterMAT should check out.

As for MST timezone, you have a lot of choices. There’s a PvE/PvX guild list on the community forum.

Hope that helps!

Elementalists and Mesmers need a major nerf too because magic does not follow physics.

Like I tell my sons, it doesn’t matter who started it. Who is going to end it?

Hickeroar.9734:

The correct approach is to simply submit a standard glitching report the way ANet intended it to be done. It is not to report a random player. A whole stream of people ran back up over the wall, and one of them got reported.

That was, and is, my point.

Sure, that’s a correct approach. A correct approach is also PM’ing Flashypants with that suggestion next time.

Mac.7249:

In the future, please remember /bug is an actual function. . .

I really wish it didn’t take so freakin’ long to report a bug in the middle of battle. I had to do this last night in Aetherblade Retreat during the last boss battle. Oh man!

Hickeroar.9734:

Chaba.5410:

LOL @ the blame the victim game being played. Flashypants was just asking for it! His mouth said no but his eyes said yes! If the shoe were on the other foot, Flashypants would be exhorted to report. TROLOLO!

Report the ones who broke the rules. Respect the ones who did the right thing. Apparently Flashy would rather just have a witch hunt. I fully support reporting people who actually break the rules. The one he reported, along with all the others who ran back out of the keep didn’t do a single thing wrong.

Hickeroar, there’s an appeals process just for this very reason. You seem to be overlooking the fact that the mesmer who actually laid the portal had to run back out over the wall TOO in order to port people in. I realize that you see a fellow EP member there and are going at lengths to defend for that reason. I would too if I saw a member of my own guild there. Yet don’t you think that any reasonable and objective analysis of the situation would indicate that Flashypants was just doing the best he could to bring Anet’s attention to the glitch when it is next to impossible, in the heat of battle, to distinguish who is running back over the wall to lay a portal and who is just trying to take the correct course of action to recover from the glitch?

Rollinpapers.7312:

My biggest dream is for FA to get some balanced coverage maybe 2 or 3 nice and large guilds (which are going to stay there), so our match-ups get balanced again. Then we toss in our long lost friend DB in here and together we make them our punching bag.

Then why don’t you transfer to here?

himmy,

Check out the FA community forum’s PVE guild list at http://www.fort-aspenwood.com/index.php?/topic/2082-fa-pve-guild-master-list/#entry26135

Hope you can find one that works for you and your wife!

We at NERF have begun a steampunk rock band. If you are interested, PM me.

Yea, that’s one of the RNG results.

Did you face a necro using Tainted Shackles? If you read the description on the wiki, you’ll see that the skill conditions repeatedly. You need to put distance between yourself and the necro before you cleanse, and keep distance. Rocket Boots help.

NERF has members spread across multiple servers because we started out as a cross-server guild for engineers. We’ve asked many of our non-FA members to transfer as we have closed new membership to FA-only, but our guild respects their right to play on the server of their choice. We only ask that all of you give them that same respect and not accuse them of being spies. Thank you.

iCryptik.1496:

I’m getting an uptick of hate messages from FA in /p.

Keep it coming, I love the laughs.

Schadenfreude much?

Throwing it down after a successful guild bounty mission.

Speedy Kits is only “mandatory” if you use a kit otherwise it does nothing.

If you are on Fort Aspenwood or are interested in transferring, you could consider [NERF] Fort Engineer. We do quite a bit of WvW as well as some other stuff.

The great thing about roaming solo is that most of the time you really are outnumbered.

It is hard for some people to estimate numbers, especially when pets, clones, and minions are involved. A good practice is to underestimate.

Don’t wait until the big trait patch coming this week! Get NERFed now! We have some of the greatest collective knowledge about the engineer class. Don’t be left out.

It’s a little bit of a nerf, if the notes are correct, because there will be an internal cooldown. No more racking up 25 stacks of vulnerability.

Yea, I just found out about this tonight too. Have to talk to workers to get them moving again and then it is anyone’s guess as to when the upgrade will finish. What an annoying bug.

I just don’t see why, for someone who can stuff a giant ram’s head in their pelvic region even when naked, there has to be such a huge backpack to carry gear in.

I’ve seen that before. I think it is lag.

Build: 19878
Error Message: 58:11:5:512

Keeps telling me it failed to connect first, then when I retry it gives me the error code and tells me to contact support. I played earlier today with no problem. When the hotfix came out, I hadn’t even had it downloaded and it started doing this to me.

Me too. I hadn’t even downloaded the patch yet and it did this. I had hit “login” without looking that it was going to download something.
