Guild Wars 2

Back during the week TC fought Maguuma, I had a blast. Now fighting with them… I don’t know what could be more exhilarating.

@tehfoks

You can’t have both. If you do, then I’d want my gold back from spending it on my icon.

Go big or go home! Throw those trebs on them!

The new concept is great. The issue I find in this is you cannot force people to join your warband; this is the same way for commander icons as well: you cannot make people join your squad.

AoN is on FA. If you primarily play thief, come to TC and me and my buddy can show you the joys of stealing towers with a two man group.

[Love] Love and Friendship

Harrish.8743:

Agree with all these on TC. Would also add:

Garban Yahoo [KH]
Deyja [PiNK]
Pride Lionheart [TV]
Madember [TSL]
Ruq [DIS]

There are several more (including some from the guilds who recently joined us), but limiting myself to 5.

I’ll give you 4 out of 5 on your list.
We also don’t want to forget that Murder Mouse [ESP]
That’s one vicious Charr.

People will always complain about something. Let’s just leave it at that.

On another note, I could use some cookies…

The suggestion of turning stealth into a boon would grant the possibility of people being actually able to rip it off. I see people complaining about having that aspect, but I guess us thieves will remain with our stealth unrippable. It seems people will always complain about thieves.

Come on, join Kaineng! Who doesn’t like to kill some RPers!?

Now how do I make my signature show that I’m from TC like all the other cool guys…

Maybe SoR can drop down and TC pop up for a week? It would be a beautiful TC-BG reunion!

Yeah! Exactly what Deyja said.

Oh Kanyay, you make me want to role my mesmer even more sometimes.

I see sword as most useful for a support build because you have the immobilize and great evasion with it.

I role a S/D Venom Share build in WvW and it is amazing, Works great in small groups and in small team fights. I am working on full celestial jewelry, but a full soldier’s set works great too. 30/0/30/10/0 are the traits. I take everything that says venom in it so gain might, extra strike, faster recharge, life steal, and venomous aura.

You still hit hard, but your job is not damage. You are there to spam your immobilizes, chills, and stuns on foes to hold them down. People complain about stealth being an issue, try fighting this build where you can’t even move or attack for 10 seconds or so. Factor in the venoms you gave to your teammates and you increase that time even more.

Go sword main hand, use skill #2, and then instantly steal to your target. 1500 range regularly without the Long Reach trait, 1800 with. Your thoughts?

Note: You do not need to use Devourer’s Venom.

For those who want the math: (600 for skill #2 + 900 for steal = 1500 and 600 +1200 = 1800).

Xsorus.2507:

They decided to work on the Super Adventure Box instead..That is why the WvW update turned out to be a joke..They couldn’t make money off an actual WvW update

I believe you are wrong here sir. The wonderful most awesome Super Adventure Box was not created by the entire ANET team, only a small small handful of them. AND THEY MADE IT AWESOME!

If they make an alternate commander title for WvW then I want my 100g back. Stop the QQ, it ain’t going to change. Badges are another currency like gold. If it was worth badges, then the people grinding the jump puzzle could get the compendium that way. If were to be through ranks, what will you do with the people who already purchased their compendium? Provide a valid argument as to why this change would be beneficial along with a compensation for those who have purchased a compendium.

The way I see it, if you tossed 100g on the book, you by all means have the right to use it. Sure you may suck, and people may complain and say they could do better, but do you see them doing it? Usually you don’t. If people really want the command title it should be bought. 100g is a pretty large bag of change. A command title is basically a waste of that gold and not many players do so.

Catisa.6507:

just put a 120 second cool down on rallying.

YES!

Although I agree with you partially, I do not care for the examples you had given me. They happen to all players all the time, not specifically for commanders.

What needs to be changed is not the function to res, but the function of rallying. I believe increasing the amount of kills you need to receive credit for to rally could increase, or have it so that only players you tag while in the downed state give you the option to rally if they are killed.

I could use a new toothbrush now that I think about it…

Blackbird.4382:

I currently play a Ranger, and while I’ve enjoyed it, lately it seems that /b no one wants to stick around and fight./b Most people seem more interested in just getting back to the safety of numbers & tagging enemies, and I just doing have enough killing power to stop them.

When I usually roam on my Thief, using either my full zerk build or my venom share build I usually don’t bother killing the Rangers I come across unless they won’t leave me alone. I can easily drop them if I wanted to with both builds. If you want a roamer, go with Mesmer, Thief, or Elementalist. No one wants to fight a good Mesemer…

For Kaineng, I’m goin to suggest KC for the abbreviation because its Kaineng Center. Lemme hear a +1 for all those GW1 fans out there

Yes please. Give us a medal for doing it often every day without much reaction from either server. Successively hiding in a tower, dodging enemy players, and retaking the tower for TC is also included in killing the NPCs. Look at the whole picture and not just us killing a bunch of NPCs.

@Loki
Lol, its a 5 minute buff, and if you haven’t read through some posts, we cap after the buff is gone. It is approx 30 seconds to kill him and capture the tower once the lord buff is down.

@Furiousbeard
You know the usual mesmer spots? Not there. Good luck!

@Waking,
We don’t hack into towers, we stealth in, wait, you leave, and then we flip after 5 mins.

I’m more interested in seeing others replicate what we do.

We have had zergs sweep for us after we have flipped the tower 3 times, and it still takes them a long while to actually find us to take us down.

Okay I guess I should have explained better, trolling could have been a little less. Cap is done after the lord buff is down. Timer starts when you enter combat and ends when the tower is capped.

I’m referring to using two thieves to kill and cap the lord room in a tower without breaking down an enemy gate or wall, or being ported in by a mesmer. That is included in the challenge. We do not break into the towers or use any siege. We are already in the tower and stay in there while it is flipped.

Alright, if you haven’t hear of who Professor Sensei or I, Carmine Valkyrie, are, we are the Duo Capping Thieves of Tarnished Coast. We have flipped towers from opposing servers consistently and laugh at enemy zergs. Thus the reason for my post is this: I propose a challenge to anyone out there with a buddy to Duo Cap a tower as fast as you can. Fastest team wins.

Post a video link here with proof. Currently, our fastest time is approximately 30 seconds. I will post a video with proof as soon as I find it. Game on.

lilz shorty.1879:

If all of our top spvp teams from were to create a WvW guild and community from anvil rock, I am sorry but no server would have a chance.

WvW is not sPvP. Perhaps in open field combat they may find themselves at an advantage, but not in all aspects.

This “nerf” is fine by me. I will still enjoy perma stealthing in towers. Sweep away boys, sweep away.

So if there are one… two… three servers put together to fight each other. Is Server A suppose to attack Server B, B to C, and C to A so as to never ever ever EVER force a double team… ever? WvW is designed for two servers to gang up and hit the third. Does FA still not comprehend this?

Dasorine.1964:

there are some ways to prolong stealth but there not that good, you will never get a permanent stealth.

By utilizing combo fields, it is possible to achieve permanent stealth. Two thieves, one with offhand dagger and the other with Shortbow, cluster bomb into black powder. Trait for initiative return and you will have permanent stealth.

@Sensei
And that is why we complement each other so well! 1 Zerk thief with 1 s/d thief using venom sharing. Burst damage AND stuns.

^^ ME TOO!!!
If only we had successively retaken SM tonight… Why must you have so many people running around in SM Kaining!!!!

Ah finally, now you can’t blame culling from us thieves killing you anymore. Cheers!

20 Thieves taking Ambush and Thieves Guild. That’s 80 thieves right there popping out of no where.

Glad to see other people attempting things like this. It’s not always easy, but its always fun.

Does youtube have a crop function?

We are sneaking into a tower that is about to be flipped by one of the opposing servers. We are using methods to perma stealth ourselves to hide, wait for the zerg to cap and leave, then retake the tower for ourselves after the lord buff is gone.

We still got it!

BG, we have successfully taken KC off of the map in EB. Let’s celebrate with a truce till reset in there?

Your’s truly,
Commander Carmine Valkyrie

And in the case of a tie between servers, the one who scored most points overall in all time windows is on top.

Langor is ours BG, leave the pink beavers alone :’(

Why do you assume it is against the rules enough to make a forum post about this? This “dueling” happens across quite a few servers and is quite organized. Player interactivity across servers is a good thing.

Think of the outmanned buff this way, it is trying to be an incentive to get more people to join the map for the buff to obtain better items.

I love that Sandy guy.

Using Dagger Storm when there is a larger groups of enemies is fune, but when youre going 1v1 or 1v2 as a thief, then Thieves Guild is better to offer some CC and damage to more specific targets.

Another hate thread… please close.
