To the FA ranger in FABL who just walked up to bay wrym gate with all the adds up in an alpha siege golem without any reinforcements, either that’s a. the cutest/sadest way to try and solo a keep as you didn’t even make it half way before you died, or b. shameful and disgusting you’re suiciding your own bl’s golems and can’t just jump them off a cliff like the rest of the trolls.
Dear Dragonbrand,
I regretfully inform you that you have incurred a massive infestation of Tarnished Coast. The buggers seem to have wormed their way inside all of your keeps and made it their homes. The best action is to be patient, wait it out, and after enough bag’s and time I’m sure they’ll migrate away.
Sincerely,
The Guild Wars Exterminator
yo…Dev who answered this…u wanna give us an ETA to this WvW crippling issue? I noticed you fixed some little silly stuff with the patch but didn’t seem to even acknowledge this on the update that you’re working on it
PINK and TC on DB BL, you just confused/ scared me XD Was like ok….. 30+ TC are going to take this from us…… then i am told from another commander they want you to take it to troll DB so them i’m like ok….. then we wipe to AC GG FA XD thanks TC that was funny! Complete 2 v.s. 1 conspiracy! :P
they never said what weapons we had to use to defeat our enemy, we chose to use you
This is excellent and would be true if our rating currently had significant meaning. Once this new randomization is in place for a while we expect both ratings and deviation will stabilize a bit more. If at that point our simulation is still generating bad match-ups we can absolutely look at lowering the range.
would it not be more prudent in this case to say…run a very large simulation to as many as possible and see how varied and well…out of balance…match up’s that occur compared to well balanced match ups? doesn’t that seem more viable for the future of a video game than just throwing it into the game, praying it works, then if it doesn’t say “oh (kitten)” and then trying to fix it. I think we’ve seen this problem with other updates as well where things weren’t clearly truly tested and just thrown in, then later told, that it would, at some point, when they got around to it, changed around. I just think there’s a better way of testing the system at first then just throwing in the system. Heck I would even say that it would be more prudent to start with a smaller random number, then raise it, instead of lowering it. If a rank 9 gets put against a rank 1 and other’s, it could lead to a blow out that’ll make all servers bored and not care anymore. Compared to if a rank 1 is put against a rank 4 and it’s a hard fight, and it’s later decided to increase it.
Plz do not single out a single guild because 1 person shown is a member. I find it interesting that of the 3 people shown of 3 guilds, you chose to point out one single guild for no other reason than reaction. On the note of the pic, it is more likely the fact that an AC has about the range of a cata, especially if traited. I have seen DB and FA both use tactics like this. So please don’t just makes posts looking for an aggressive reaction, it’s only gonna get you infracted. Plz and Thank You.
I fail to see the point really in this at all…looks like all this is, is 1 thief who decided to be a pest to a small little group by just spamming c/d and refuge while not even attempting to kill anyone lol
Nice to see that TC has made a strong showing over reset night and saturday so far while I’ve been doing graduation stuff! Hope to be on in a few hours and tomorrow and give you FA and DB some fun fights
well..i’ll say a few things…yes, DB got to T2 on they’re own, then a few large guilds jumped on with them and increased their size to constantly large forces than the rest of the time. Two, keep in mind you aren’t even facing a full TC, a lot of the regular players in WvW are taking a week or two off, and also giving new commanders a try while veteran one’s decide to focus on other things for a bit. DB isn’t exactly destroying, and they beating 2 servers I think that for a week or two are taking a break somewhat since we’ve been fighting each other so hard for like..a month and a half. Before anyone start bragging about who can own who and all that jazz, wait at least a few weeks. It isn’t JUST the people who worked up to t2 that are in t2, but they also obtained probably more transfers during that week period than TC/FA did in the month’s prior, including, if I recall, CO, who has 200 members (though if i recall seeing, only about 50-60 have made it of over atm). Either way, that greatly can be a big game changer. Let’s just play the game, if we win…act like men and women and not brag about it before it’s really even been more than a few weeks.
Hey FA guys like Pickle, I spotted an FA dude hackin ontop of our TCBL gari about 45 min ago. Not saying anything against FA, just thought you guy’s could keep a heads up for him, he was running around like ontop the map of gari or something slowly taking out some siege. Failed to get a screenie, i was moving around trying to get a good shot and fell out the occulus on the roof to my death…as a necro =/ oppsie moment but if you guy’s could keep an eye out for him it would be fantastic
Kravick stop posting and catch up with the rest of the zerg!! I’m only assuming you’re somewhere else right now like 1500 range from the commander? lol
Well pickle, if you got a screenie or can send me a msg with what race/gender/color’s the person was wearing I could possibly. Though right now in PiNK I feel like we have more rangers than anything else right now. It’s hard for us to know who’s what rank besides what they say, which I think is something they should fix, I think we should be able to see our own bl’s rank’s.
Anytime there is new PvE content it hits TC hard. When SAB came out we were hit really hard for the first few days, after which it comes out. It sucks, but with a large unofficial PvE and RP community when things like the Molten stuff it’s like an orgy for them. This week will be rough but we’ll still give it our best those of us who are still fighting!
The new AC’s are a bit OP now if people have already gotten tier 2 in it from saving up points, like myself. 2-3 AC’s can completly defend a keep from dang near anything. I don’t mind the changes, but in my mind if they were gonna make them more powerful they should have increased the supply cost and decreased the number needed for siege cap. We’ve been having troubles just even ramming a gate when there are 2 AC’s since the AC’s can out damage the building of the ram’s
That’s the point, silly to build rams when there are AC’s up. Punishing playing badly = better WvW players.
Yes but it’s also made ram’s pretty much completely useless, cause there’s always an AC up, and with the increased range you can hammer a front gate from a disgusting distance away. If a tower get ‘s 4-5 sup AC’s in it now it’ll be near impossible to get into it. I’m not saying they shouldn’t have buffed ACs. But they buffed it a total of 110% total, 80% natural, 25% AC master, 5% siege mastery. That’s just a bit extreme for only 40 supply. Since the only real easy way now to really get rid of tons of AC’s will be an open field treb, i say take the supply cost of a treb (100) and the supply cost of an AC (40) and split the difference. 70 supply to build an AC. That’ll stop pple from just loading 10 AC’s into a tower. With the added poison attack it’s just way to much for an only 40 supply siege. With the distance increases it almost out does a ballista now. I’m not saying AC’s didn’t need to get buffed, just up the supply cost or something to account for basically doubling what an AC does.

If you are refering to that first golem, if you watch carefully there are people that are building on it nearly constantly just hard to see, then it gets super built fast when someone threw a time warp down on the build side. It wasn’t an insta or flash build.
I remember a 3 way siege in hills one time where us TC, mostly PiNK were in the Lords room, while KN was on North inner and FA was on West inner wall’s and they were trebbing each other to see who would get a chance at us lol, we just watched it amused like…holy crap..you don’t see this everyday.
For people wondering about the bug going through walls with NW TCBL Tower…its not a hack or exploit, some skills kinda just bug you through it, I’m hoping it’ll be fixed soon. I’ve done it on accident with a fiery greatsword on some of the NW towers, and i know a few others have used charge skills and just like…gone right through it lol. But I’d hope people aren’t doing it on purpose
I would say TC has gotten more than 100 transfers, but def not 500. I know we’ve at time’s helped some of the guilds come over, but we haven’t paid for it. Some of us chose to donate in order to make it faster. The guilds have already made the decision to come and join the TC community, if we can help them out to come to the server quicker, why wouldn’t it? it’s just called being friendly. But we didn’t go to those guilds and be like “yo…psst…yo man…we’ll give ya 300 a head for ur guild to come here, that good dawg?” lol
Current powerhouse?. Waiter, I’ll have whatever Dhampyr’s having.
Yep, current powerhouse. They’re been in the tier since Friday, and I’m guessing you haven’t checked the scoreboard at all. They are a force to be reckoned with, and they’re currently handing both FA and TC their backsides when it comes to score. I didn’t say that they were the better than FA or TC, and I’m thinking you didn’t get the point I was making with the post. Any chance you could go read the whole thing again pls?
Keep in mind TC’s strongest days for point gain are Mon-Thurs, past few weeks FA has been the lead during a good deal of the weekend until the actual week itself up until last week where KN sadly imploded where we led almost the entire time. At this point it’s to easy to say anyone’s owning anyone. Not only has DB gotten a few large transfers in the last week that are helping, but we had a really sad showing this weekend for TC it seemed. I think TC/FA should be taking DB seriously, but I think its way to early to try and say 1 server is owning anyone’s backside.
This is what TG is trying to do, we know we cant (and dont want to) compete with your 100 man mega zergs, so we do our best to kite, maneuver and parry our way to victory
We definitely don’t have 100 people. It’s just a l2play issue.
DB is in the lead at the moment. Apparently, I guess it’s you who need to l2p. :O
Anyone who wants to think that reset night alone makes really any difference hasn’t spent much time in T2 clearly, since the matches don’t really break away until monday or tuesday
Hills is both really easy to take and defend. I personally think its harder to take Bay since there’s such a big range between inner and outer Bay. If there’s a lot of people defending Hills, it can just take time, and with a half decent Mesmer you can almost constant port in reinforcements even if they close the outer gates.
Hadunius, just because a guild won’t GvG you doesn’t mean that they are pathetic, or unworthy or something
He said no such thing.
While I do thank you, like many other’s who quote things, for only taking the one phrase that best suits you. Please note i never said he said that, I was simply telling him that just because a guild won’t accept a GvG offer doesn’t mean that. But thank you, I appreciate you taking my quote out of context to use it for your own purpose.
Hadunius, just because a guild won’t GvG you doesn’t mean that they are pathetic, or unworthy or something, could just mean they don’t want to take the time to schedule a GvG. We’ve scheduled like 3-4 last few months, and none of them happened cause at the last minute other things cause up for the other guild…so of course we don’t really care to spend a lot of time organizing a GvG and trying to find perfect times…not when we can just enter in WvW and have fun without trying to see who can win the trophy
Well TC is being super defensive about it. And it has gotten to be a game of tennis apparently.
I don’t see us being super defensive about it…but I see people like you trying to force TC into being defensive about it hoping for attention. So…please be civil, if you have nothing nice to say, or nothing about the MATCH itself…please…keep it on your own servers forums so those of us who read these to get match updates and see how the battles are going don’t have see teen drama.
let’s be honest…part of the reason why the WvW stuff was included in map completion was to encourage/force players to idk…PLAY WVW. There’s no hearts…there isn’t tons of sp’s like Orr, its designed to force you to participate in WvW at least a little bit. The only one’s that should be difficult to obtain are the ones in EB…and thats just because SM and the Keeps don’t flip THAT often. But the rest of the bl’s stuff flip’s often enough over the course of a week or two that it’s easily possible to get map completion on the other bl’s. If you want to go in and have 0 intention of actually doing WvW, just wanna PvE ur POI’s/Vista’s/SP’s in the bls, then the problem isn’t the dev’s, it’s that you are doing things contrary to the purpose of them including it in map completion. There’s a reason you need badges of honor AND map completion for a legendary…its not a coincidence.
well…there’s 2 ways…watch the mini map, scroll over and see which commander is yours or not and just follow that icon on your mini map. Or, if that is to difficult, and you’re in a group, just right click the commander to call a target on him, and instead of following the icon, follow the big red target sign over his head. We have 2-3 commanders near each other a lot on our bl’s and the vast majority of us deal just fine, just takes training yourself to have your eye on multiple things at the same time.
I would guess his reason for 30 in soul reaping is more so for the largely increased death shroud and how long it can last with that. That being said, with that kind of bunker build you won’t be able to do much damage. For rune wise…for my power build and the way I’m built I use runes of infiltration, increases my precision a good bit, and im just disgusting to any mob under 50%, i.e. i don’t wear full zerker and my axe 2 still crits easily for 16-18k against anything remotely squishy.
A. There’s 0 problem with having more than 1 commander on the map, if another commander is to close do this, watch closely, its tricky /whisper (commander) hey man, my guild group is taking care of this side, can you go to another area and force them to split their forces to make it easier to take this kitten? seems much simplier than coming onto the forums QQing saying you should be allowed to turn off another commanders tag, which would eventually just be used as a troll use for commander tag. If the person refuses do this…watch…again…tricky… /m hey guys, please follow (your name)‘s tag, we’ve got a lot of organization going on. People have the right to follow any commander they want, if the commander’s don’t communicate and just want to out do each other and take over the other, you’re gonna get miscommunication, you get miscommunication you begin to lose stuff, you begin to lose stuff, you begin to lose a match, you begin to lose a match, you get on the forums and make up excuses for why ur zergs can’t win, like that you can’t share space with another tag. And im not just saying that to you, but any commander who simply wants to take over another commander instead of working with them.
Edit: reading what your last post was during I was typing the last msg…lemme edit with this. If you just wanna make it invisible on your screen…just ignore it…just as effective and doesn’t mean ANET doesn’t have to hand hold people through simple paying attention skills.
Don’t worry about it! Hackers are hackers, even if its a guild of hackers in my mind it doesn’t hurt the rep of an entire server cause i’d bet all servers hate hackers, whether on their server or against them. People in the fake troll guilds are just trolls, I just say report them (hackers), then ignore them, they’ll get bored soon enough and quit.
Eva, it was a [pink] guy in FA who has since left to KN, I would guess it was just a troll. To me him being a troll and all that does as little damage to FA’s rep as it does to [PiNK]‘s because he was in an obvious troll guild. I’m quite sure that any of you FA players would report hackers and, if in your guild, insta kick like they would get here on TC.
It’s comments like that that just add fuel to the fire…no single server or party is more guilty than the other in all the QQing and flaming the last few weeks, all are to blame.
marks and wells work great, and when they are revealed a scepter can work wonders on them, as can axe #2. I use axe/warhorn + staff for my power WvW build and a thief can almost never kill me 1 on 1, while they CAN evade my marks and wells, they can only evade so often, and if i stand inside the wells, if they wanna get to me they either have to switch outta the cheesy dagger to ranger, to which i can destroy them range v range, or they have to fight in my little circle with me. THe axe skills are great against thieves, as 1 can soften them with vuln, a power build can hit for around 13k total against a thief and still be tanky if done right, and the 3/4/5 of axe/wh can be used to keep them under control with retaliation/cripple/and daze. You can also use DS #4, which some people think is a bad skill, i think it can be highly useful against a thief, and is amazing for loot bags in zerg v zerg, the biggest problem with necro in WvW is a. once we’re caught we have almost 0 ways of out running any opponent since we have almost no swiftness, and b. we only have 2 methods of stability, lich form (which is a waste of elite in WvW versus plague form), and a Soul Reaper 12 trait i think it is. But that trait is a waste to spend so much in WvW. So basically…once we start getting CC’ed, it can be very difficult for us, since we have no defense against things like knockback’s and lines of warding, compared to other classes.
Well..i gotta say…I have a thief, and I play a stealth class in many other games, and the stealth in GW2 is for the most part much more OP than in any other game i’ve come across, in the others at least a DoT can break a stealth (even if its after a few seconds of perma stealth, like SW:TOR). That being said, fighting it is just adapting. The most fun way for me to fight thieves 1 on 1 when i know one is around is i’ll lay 2-3 marks right at my feet, when i see him evade into it, I evade and drop a well lol, tends to work a good majority of the time lol
well…as a necro lemme give you a few pieces of advice.
1) if you’re fighting a thief using constant C&D, stay moving, don’t stand still, ever, cause yeah..then you’re gonna get chain back stabbed
2) conditions and marks are your friend, while dagger/dagger necro is fantastic in spvp and tpvp, in wvw it is relatively kitten the conditions off a scepter or staff will do constant damage to the thief while he’s in stealth.
3) not all tPvP builds are good for WvW, i have seperate builds for PvE/WvW/tPvP/sPvP, because all of them require different things from us.
4)if you are using minionmancer with lich form in WvW..you’re gonna have a bad time, if thats what ur using. Minions die in seconds in WvW and the Lich, while great single target damage, turns you basically into a big kitten green target for everyone to see.
but if you guy’s could keep an eye out for him it would be fantastic
