That may be true, but it’s also a bit shortsighted towards personal prejudice.
I wouldn’t exclude the person being from any one server and certainly not from JQ-internal. kitten off people on the internet can do things for many reasons and take their actions as far as their heart desires.
I would be not be surprised if the saboteur was actually a player native to JQ.
I don’t know why Waha was so angry, all FoO uses is golems anyway.
Or was it last Friday on JQ BL that made him angry, I can understand that.
The number of badges you get a day will depend on your class, tier, group, and timezone.
It’s not very difficult to get 250 in 3-4 hours.
^we had fun as well, best night in awhile.
Don’t let the Coronic Acid effect you guys!
TESO Beta, hope you get in!
I don’t think anyone is blaming SoR, BG, CHOO or AGG for this guy’s action (it has to be a guy because women don’t do dumb things like this).
lol, good one
Of couse, for the actual troll… Mission Accomplished. I know you read these forums. Enjoy this, the high point of your entire life: griefing in a video game. I know when I was a boy, that’s the mountain I set out to climb. Nothing for you in life will ever feel better than this. Ever. Enjoy your week of glory. The real world will crush you like a maggot once you get out there.
Doesn’t that also imply that for yourself, nothing has ever felt so good. Ipso facto, you miss it (the griefing)? Does this also imply that the real world has crushed you?
1. I can’t imagine any BG guild would be against destroying that siege. You can complain and flame, or extend an olive branch and get it taken care of.
2. That guy has rotated tags based on the time of day, posting a screen of him with a tag is sorta meh. Get his character ID out to each servers representatives and see if anyone knows him – otherwise there’s not much anyone can do.
The guild you’ve posted a screenshot of does this all the time, it’s not a new issue as far as they go.
Why don’t you do a 5v5v5?
I wish 1000 people had transferred to BG instead of 1/4th of that. That would be insane.
All you people who want to complain and have the game “fixed” are only asking for the game to be made worse. If there’s one thing you enjoy about this game then keep your mouth shut about it, and while you’re at it, keep your mouth shut about parts of the game you don’t like so the people who do like it can enjoy it without it being destroyed.
If there are only 5 Warriors on Arrow carts rotating #2 skill and you let 50 people die to them you are bad, should feel bad, and should counsel your children on their future of being bad.
Question Brock,
Can every class in the game 1v1 every other class in the game, given the same skill level, and win 50% of the time?
Since we know the answer to that, does every class bring something to group play that can be abused to an extent that people would cry about it?
Necro marks forever fear.
Hammer 3 skill chain immobilize for entire groups → chain earth shaker entire groups.
Glamour builds instant 25 stacks instakill low hp classes.
Warrior is the worst class in tower defense, and happens to be good on siege because of a trait that is easily countered in numerous ways if your brain has an on switch.
I don’t see the problem nor do I see the comparison to spikefruit or other items. No one is forcing you to run towards the arrow carts.
Personally think CoF takes too long too complete. The dungeons aren’t challenging, why make them drawn out for the sake of being drawn out?
Ya but in this extreme scenario of 5 holding down 200 indefinitely…. those 200 had to cram in a ball and go stand under the AoE to begin with… which sounds like a tactical failure on their part, whether this mechanic was in place or not.
Now the difference is they might actually pay for their overconfidence, rather than laugh it off thanks to the AoE cap.
When was the last time you looked at the size of the Arrow Cart AoE? It is far from a ball.
How about you just run AoE retaliation and kill the Warriors?
Maybe try playing WvW before you comment. Retail hasn’t worked on siege for 6 months.
I’m not talking about the siege, I’m talking about the Warriors.
I was almost insta-downed the other day by a group doing this.
How about you just run AoE retaliation and kill the Warriors?
Or kill the siege before going into a kill zone? There is always a counter.
I actually remember you zerging twice our numbers the first reset night.
Daggerstorm only kills bads, lol. Daggerstorming Thief is also an easy kill – out of stealth until low health and any AoE finishes them.
When SoS can beat Grenth with randoms then it can claim excellent PVE base.
Warrior – CC, AoE Cleave Damage, AoE Healing, Condition Removal, Fury, Vigor, Swiftness, Might, Banners/Group Blasts
Guardian – Walls, AoE Protection, Stability, Might/Healing, Aegis, Altruistic Healing (hard to be killed) and Hammer blast is very good
Mesmer – Glamour build (Confusion bubbles of death), Time Warp, Portals, Boon Removal, Condition Removal, Veil
Necromancer – Boon Removal, Epidemic (ugh), Wells, Marks (terrain denial), Fear, AoE damage, Condition Removal
Elementalist – Fire fields, Water fields, Static Fields, AoE CC, Boon sharing, Aura Sharing, Siege killing
I could post about some other classes but I’d might miss some things or specific nuances.
If you’re already a Thief, you aren’t the best group support but you can spec yourself in P/V/T gear and build around constantly blinding everything you’re fighting. Nothing a Hammer Warrior hates more than being blinded.
That was attempted when free transfers were coming to a close.
SoS attempted to recruit only for timeslots it was lacking, JQ recruited en-masse and being a server that wasn’t already winning it got the majority of the guilds looking to find a home in T1.
When the few guilds that left SoS chose a server, it was a server that had good all around coverage and the ability to stay competitive (with JQ) – but not one that was incredibly stacked.
In all reality, as things are BG would have to pull incredible hours to compete with JQ and edge out a win, but that doesn’t mean a whole lot if as a result we’re out of the picture for 2-4 weeks due to burnout.
@ Nuzt: Not everyone likes WvW Nuzt, I think its boring as hell personally, but I want a legendary, so the JP are the way to do it, and not every kill inside WvW gets you a badge, or anything worthwile loot-wise, and all it is just one big repair bill, going in there to do it otherwise, my serve is usually ways in first or second place, and own most lands most nights, so there is no need to do so, its not my fault they made WvW required to get a legendary, but I want one, so specting 3-4 minutes to do a J.P. then warping out, nothing really " wasteing a space" sense quite a few people in WvW afk the thing “guarding” a tower…plus little action I see rarely goes on in there anyway, zergs see 1 guy and chance him down until hes dead, and rarely so much as even touch a tower without hightailing it out of there.
Is there a jumping puzzle that gives dungeon tokens? I don’t see why PVE players can go hit a box and otherwise completely fail at WvW while WvW’ers have to go and actually do the crappy dungeon content.
Wow even after all the transfers into BG , JQ is still winning. It must have alot of dedicated WvWers , or just too much players lol.
The number of people who have transferred to BG from SoS are probably in the range of 400-450 between all of the guilds. It’s still only 1/4th (at best) of what JQ saw prior to the closing of free transfers.
I am happy with the decision though, I like Blackgate.
Running with Orc is not only fun, but you learn new words every time.
Nice job DB, keep it up
I like when FOO logs on, no one else wants to fight during Oceanic/SEA. Everyone else just runs away and prefers to pvdoor and get points.
There are Ranger builds that a Commander could use, but they all involve Greatsword and never touching a longbow.
Otherwise, Ranger doesn’t really add anything to group play because the few support you do have will never be near anyone else and the damage you do isn’t hitting enough things of relevance.
I just like that your name is Thor.
Here’s hoping BG gets knocked out of t1 soon. As a havoc/small man runner I am tired of you all hiding in towers, afraid to fight even numbers. Do you really think 5 people want to siege your kitten? We dont care. Zerg Wars is for noobs.
Doesn’t [SF] run 25-30+ Zergs? :P
Oh reality, foiled again!
TSym vs. BG would be TSym wiping to something and blaming other people.
Coron reminding people he was a Marine.
Workshops.
And offending the EU/SEA populations with ignorant remarks.
could also be an edited tooltip that still has the old name. Mesmer has a lot of those, others could easily be the same way.
Any time I see healing spring dropped away from the boss or enemies is pretty much an instant kick
I wouldn’t ask PRX, but VotF and RG are good choices.
Jade Quarry and Sanctum of Rall sound like such underdogs.
lol
Coming from SoS, I find it hilarious to find our same opponents make claims of someone else running everywhere in a huge zerg.
It’s WvW, go kill people – or go be the guy who is afraid of a repair bill.

I think FoE too, however I am not sure.
Those guilds transferred about two weeks prior, but yeah, FoE and Agg were both on SoS as well.
Wow thats alot , i wonder what’s gonna happen if JQ beats BG. They gonna transfer again ?
It seems to me that alot of guilds went to JQ as well.
Well, the AoI guilds are basically the size of a FoE/Agg/Choo/etc. It isn’t 6 super guilds.

Why is this relevant? Because GW2 is designed to make money and by people using gems to transfer they have in turn undermined the WvW community by reinforcing that.
I stopped reading at that point… The game doesn’t make you transfer, you transfer by your own will, and it was the will of the guilds who left SoS (which still i don’t see why they did it). Now saying it’s Anet fault is one of the most idiotic thing i’ve read on this forum.
In fact everyone though that the bandwagons would end after the free transfer ended, but with the current situation of SoS, we see that isn’t true. Also, that show how pathetic that portion of SoS population was… Once it started losing, it collapsed… (Just as ET, HoD, IoJ, SBI).
Let’s just wish SoS luck wherever it will stop, because i’m sure Fergusson’s Crossing and Eredon Terrace situations are waaaaaaaaaaaaay more delicate than SoS’, and we don’t want another server in that situation. (although if SoS really colapse that bad, we might finally find the 3rd member of the bottom tier)
People join your server and you trash talk them?
I had a lot of fun on SoS, but a lot of the bond that was formed back in the day (before my time) with the transfer from Dragonbrand to SoS is going to be continuing on in the future.
If we have to put in the hours, we will to an extent, but if we are able to put in a sustainable amount of playtime to be successful then that is all the better for our guilds health.
It’s actually 4 conditions removed via shout every 20s/20s/25s and you can also trait an additional 2 via the Strength tree (Using Adrenal Healing@30s) or by using Mending@25s.
It’s not Ranger, but it’s significantly better than a lot of classes.
?
Badge drop rate should be ~18-25% of your kill count, assuming you are getting bags while in a full party.
If you’re doing it solo, I imagine it is as horrifying as some people have described.
Unless Warrior’s get a condition build I don’t think they’d care enough to change how it works.
Warrior bleeds are actually pretty ridic.
There are two Warrior main hand builds that absolutely destroy people, Warrior’s CC is also one of the best counters to a D/D Elementalist.
Are they great for solo/duo roaming? Not at all.
Are they often the class that most easily can break the lines of your opponent? Absolutely.
Edit: I’ll also add that if you pick a fight as a Thief or Elementalist and run away, you may not have died but you did lose.
You guys are getting confused with smoke screen on down, teleport, then the downed invis. It’s often better to just dps a thief using this setup down than try to spike.
I like when I’m chasing 1 guy and he disappears.
