They’d rather fight pugs in EoTM instead of fighting the actual JQ/BG guilds. But hey being farmed 24/7 by BG/JQ for months on end got demoralizing to SoR. So I can’t really blame all the guilds who have left or died on SoR.

Anything is possible with 50 arrowcarts……

Eotm is not a competitive map it is used to transition players from PvE into WvW and as a good way to test ideas that could go into WvW. All new content from now on has and will be introduced through living story and they did careful thinking of how the living story could introduce this map.

Thanks for the responses. They are helpful. I have decided I will logon when I want to play and if I don’t even see any commanders (This happens more than you think at 9:30PM CST which is many times when I can get on during the week because of kids.) then I can just logoff and do somethine else. PvE just doesn’t entertain me much.

I am a zerg kind of guy and like to play as a team. I can tell you that weekends have always been good times.

Thanks for the positive responses. I also don’t need to win, I just need to be part of bigger groups.

If money is the only issue I can tell you how to get free transfers. First of all buy as many sPvP tomes that level you up as possible and hopefully get a scroll that makes you level 20. Salvage and sell all soul bound items. Put rest of items in bank or sell if bank is full. And then delete all your characters.

An account without any characters can transfer freely to any server they wish but only once every 7 days. Remake a character on your new server, and use scrolls and the money you made Fromm selling to level up.

People think transferring cost a lot but really Anet will let you get a fresh start whenever you want. There is no reason you should suffer in your server simply think of this as a fresh start for free instead of buying a second account or paying for a transfer.

Likes
1. Destroying 80 man enemy blobs with 20-30.
2. Fighting small scale and large scale sometimes one becomes the other.
3. People who have the will to fight.

Dislikes
1. People who hide in towers/keeps because they do not have the will to fight but do have arrow carts and cannons.
2. Condition duration food lasting 40% while chill duration food only lasts 15%
3. How servers who are better fighters loose because they choose to fight rather than sit in a tower all day.

Tldr: I love what WvW was promised to be EPIC Fights.
I hate what WvW has become siege hugging paradise.

I believe OP has been affected by what is know as the supply drop syndrome. It kills 1 person every 3 minutes.

Hey I play a WvW Guardian and an engie for sPvP, I would be ok if retaliation was tweaked. If a person hits someone with retaliation give them a 1 second cooldown before retaliation can affect them again. This would have to double or triple retaliation damage so in a 1 vs 1 damage is the same. But I agree with OP the current retal mechanics are currently able to single handed wipe the right enemy.

Why the internal cooldown should be dependent on the attacker instead of the booned player. The current problem is 1 person who attacks gets wiped by 5 enemies with boons. The cooldown for retaliation being on a booned player is bad since it would allow greater numbers to have a direct advantage.

Let’s use this idea against an example from an attacking point of view, one that has been popping up a lot, the Flame Thrower auto attack on engie. In a Zerg fight 3 people are hit 10 times wich means 30 retaliation damage, this would kill the engie in exactly 3 auto attacks even if he was full tank. With the new method instead the engie would be hit 3 times with retaliation because his Attack lasts 2.5 seconds and the internal cooldown on retaliation would be 1 second, this is very little damage (under 800) which is why the raw damage would also have to increase (I suggest double or triple) I feel we could all handle 1.5 k damage per 2-3 seconds.

Now let’s look at in from a defenender point of view using an example. You are being hit by a class that isn’t affected horribly by retaliation in 1vs1 such as the common Zerg warior. They have 1-2 attacks per second and Regen about 400 health a second, their healing shouts also give 2.5k every 12 seconds with 2 shouts. So that in total is 7000 health every 12 seconds, no way in small scale will retaliation hurt them much. Now let’s say your retaliation damage in increased to 500 damage per proc every second. In 12 seconds 6000 damage of retaliation is dealt to the warior giving him 1000 healing in total, if you can’t deal more than 1000 damage in 12 seconds you’re doing it wrong.

This would be the same for 1 vs 1 as it would in Zerg fights making retaliation an easy type of damage to be tweaked by the developers.

Tldr: give retaliation cooldown to the attacker not the one with the boon.

Check out Sea of Sorrows guilds. Almost all of them do GvG, EP, CNB, Agg, CB, DIE, FANG, BANE, Rx, have all done GvGs. All of the other guilds I named with the exception of CB is NA raid times 6-10pm server time.

Also the easiest of these guilds to get into would be DIE since they just transferred and are trying to get their numbers back up to what they were on E-BAY. Most other guilds nearly never recruit.

Noble (for HgH builds), undead, nightmare, or perplexity all depend on build.

All is vain.

DUDE YOU’RE DADDY. I will always remember the day someone aske if anyone was on the map and you said, “Yes my son I’m here for you.” <3 also I really appreciate Charizard Gawd commanding durring EU/early NA time on EB. Good guild I wish you the best.

The way I look at it is this. No class itself is OP right now and skill wise there is much balance. I can beat any class by outplaying them and vice versa. (I main engie/guard btw) the only thing I currently consider OP is the lack of animations on a necro.

Guardian is worse overall since you actually have to give playing some thought whereas warrior you have enough DPS and base health to just 100 blades and win.

I like them I was already rank 33 so I got 2 new alts to 80 today

I love mesmer after it’s allot of fun having crazy abilities like portals and blinks. also the clones you create can be a real annoyance to your enemies. All classes can solo the content only things that are super hard to solo are group events and dungeons. If you ever feel like you are having a hard time in a zone of your level make sure your armors and weapons are at a high enough level for you.

if you can try to get some of the old RQ guys I heard they disbanded as soon as they came to SoS because their leader was mean.

Condition duration food should be lowered to 20% and condintion removal food should be lowered to 20%. playing a warior I can reduce the condition duration by 98%. Trait does 33% (for chill and cripple) runes of melandru 25% and 40% from food. On the other side I get feared for 6 seconds because of necro and signet of spite lasts 17 seconds for all conditions.

Here’s is the list of all skills that can ruin shelters day.
Static field
Unsteady ground
Wail of doom
Slick shoes
Tripwire
Sanctuary
Magnet
reapers mark when traited with greater marks
Corrupt boon against stability
Ring of Warding
Line of warding
Spectral wall
Binding blade’s pull

first use p/s because thief/mes are hard countered by shield 5 and sometimes shield 4 will interrupt them from stealthing. I would say when a thief/mes goes invis wait 2 seconds then put up your shield. when you see a block Icon DPS behind you.

1. Thief got a good backstab in ya: dodge 1 time to put a bomb where he is and create distance use healing turret blast it right after the overcharge then maybe shield 4 4 to get even more healing.

2. Thief got a good backstab heal isnt up. dodge out then put down a concusion bomb followed by a fire bomb. Most thieves just run into those and then I just prybar and gear shield them

3. ok so I got the thief to 25% then he starts running into stealth. quick use toolkit 5 to bring him back. this skill works even if they are in stealth then quickly DPS on your position.

4. the thief just went stealth and is definitely coming at me. put down a fire bomb then start kiting the invisible enemy though it.

5. I see the thief put down a smoke field and he’s about to leap through it. BIG OLD BOMB then smoke bomb my stealth will outlast his because mine has a 2 second delay. <-you can always shield 4 blast for this as well.

tldr thief best damage is in melee so use bombkit to kite them through your damage as they chase you and finish them off with a toolkit.

as an engineer I always focus enemy engineers or elementalists first, part of this is because I know what we are capable of as a good engineer. the second is because everything else is REALLY hard to kill, thief+mes have infinite invis, guardians have ridiculous heals/condition clear, wariors have ridiculous condition clear and base health, necro has that extra 20k health from pressing f1 and they can just reapply conditions onto me using dagger 4.

Kumu Honua.2751:

I’d be happy if it would stop sending me through enemies to the other side of them, and sometimes over the cliff behind them =/

all leap skills do that unless you target your enemy first

Shelter is currently a good heal when used strategically. It allows to stop incoming damage while healing a moderate amount. It can also be the downfall of a guardian when playing against another high skilled opponent.

Shelter is a channel ability. This means if you are interrupted while casting it it will go on its full cool down rather than a non-channel skill. This is what hurts a shelter guardian the most. Because of the blocking achetype shelter must be a channel ability and I accept we must keep it that way.

My proposal is to change the heal from the end of the channel to being a channeled heal itself like the elementalist’s ether renewal. This change would make shelter be worth some healing even when interrupted while still awarding the interrupter with healing loss and a 30 second cooldown.

tldr: shelter gets interrupted and doesn’t come off cool down for 30 seconds. Make the healing part of shelter a channel please.

use staff or sword it’s plenty of mobility.

1v1’s happening in Obsidian Sanctum Arena

Have never seen so many condi necros in 1 place

All hail the ruling 1v1 class. OP but maybe One day they will nerf conditions duration food to 20%. Right now warriors who are 65% immune to conditions and 98% immune to movement conditions using runes of melandru and food, a traited necro can chain fear for 9 seconds if you CC them and apply signet of spite to last for 15+ seconds. So without negative condition food you can’t fight necro with – condition food they still get 20k more health from death shroud.

you can beat a condi necro with ax/horn hammer with shout heals soldiers runes and warhorn conversion.

Yes basically only thing that beats a condition necro is a warrior made to counter conditions. On an engineer, ranger, thief or Mesmer clearing conditions or fear is a lot harder. In sPvP however where Condi duration food is unavailable I do fine against a necro with almost all classes named above.

I was hosting a level 25 fractal and someone was on an ele with only 5 AR and was dying at the final boss. he said he was swapping characters to his guardian with 30 AR and as soon as he did so we were all kicked out of the instance I had started.

Insane Pancakez.9182:

What happened to EP? They are now runnign 30-40, still can be wiped pretty easily as I saw tonight on EBG, and have to depend on the other SoS zerg with FANG in it to wipe hahaha. Why not just run 15-20, that’s what you run away with after losing 15 players.

they ran 15-24 today and wiped 1 times.

WhiteAndMilky.2514:

I’m pretty sure I remember them saying we would receive 100g each as reward right? Maybe it was 800gems. Or maybe it was a set of ascended armor. A free precursor for each of us? maybe +1000 achievement points? Thanks for rewarding us for all our hard work Anet! Looking forward to seeing what amazing prizes you have in store for us!

Surely it couldn’t just be a poopy finisher and another chest with some dragonite ore and a green item in it. That would just be silliness!

But a golden dolyak… Made out of gold!!!! You can sell that on the TP for nothing and like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f6l1QljpMo

No but seriously if the winners get too good of a reward everyone would just flock to one server and everywhere else would be dead.

I must say it has been a pleasure fighting with you all and chatting on the most civilized 6 pages of forums in North America

What happened to the TC roleplayers I once knew? Spent the past few hours walking around in dolyak tonic and every TC I ran across killed me with extreme prejudice.

At one time they would have joined me in my RP fun.

you dont want to be a dolyak this season, Anet put a bounty tag on all dolyak.
our achievement hippies are running crazy for them

its addicting i tell you

Haha I’m just imagining all the people going for achieves in a wooden cabin heading out. “Get your guns boys, it’s yak season and the yak are ripe for the pickin’.” I’m actually suprised that TC doesn’t have a yak killing RP guild with people only using riffle warriors/engineer. It can be called

If any guilds would like to set GvG up with EP please PM myself or Gang Signs.

We’re accepting all challenges 15-20.

Definitely recommend guilds take advantage of this. Not only is EP one of the very best in NA, they are also a great group of people. Much respect for taking the time to help a TC guild last night after the informal GvG.

Yup, thanks for the advice guys. Looking forward to the zombie coast scrimmage.

<3 you guys. Really loving SoS, but it’s definitely sad not to be on the same server with our old buddies, CERN. Paulus’s laugh, Nightlight screaming in zerg fights, Divine being sweet to everyone, and the always-entertaining conversations. :-P

We if only we could get them to join SoS… Do it for the battle rooster

Haha, there’s probably no chance of that happening. Most TCers aren’t willing to consider leaving TC. It’s a very stable server. Probably the most stable WvW-wise in the game (save for maybe JQ). They took a few hits with a few guilds leaving recently, but they’re still tons stronger than they were at the beginning of the year. Slow and steady progression upwards. :-P /salute

Besides, we can’t have fun fights with CERN if they’re on the same server. :-P

Totaly agree with you in every way fighting TC would be a lot less fun if CERN and NOPE wasn’t there. But I love those guys to death. I just wish we could play together with a all those cool people. TC does have one of the strongest communities though and it’s a wonderful server so they will probably never leave. But one can always dream.

So what guilds are BG planning on buying before reset on Friday to “even up” their coverage when facing Mag?

Is that an offer :P

You are late to the conversation, but it’s well established that if AON ever decides to move that SoS gets first bid.

I will say 0 gold is easily outbid but what can never be outbid is the undying love we provide you on SoS.

Icarus.3689:

@ A-net

pay 5 point on trait to dodge per 6.66 s as ranger -> nerf

pay 5 point on trait to dodge per 5s as mesmer/guard -> fine (as vigor build)

Why?

not only mesmers but also guardians and elementalists also have permanent vigor for 5 and 20 trait points respectively. don’t worry though it’s not that bad engineers need to spend 20 trait points to get 5 seconds of vigor every 10 seconds.

Tough night for Agg’s 15 20 25 30 man skillgroup on JQ BL.

Some more mass recruiting in LA should do the trick.

Don’t tell anyone this but they already stole some of our members and asked one of my favorite mesmers to leave too. But he stayed with us cause he’s awesome.

Oh, and to any T1 server: You’re going to have to offer prominent Mag guilds more than a couple thousand gold to get us to play with the trash that you’ve amassed on your servers for more than a week.

Who are you referring to? No one has offered AoN gold that I know of yet.

I’m suprised about this. AoN is one of the most skilled small may groups out there. Especially since they know how to work well with their commanders. I would pay for them to come to SoS if it wasn’t against my morals (and their morals too).

DsoN.2794:

i am roaming all the time but i transfered to tc like 2days ago. look out for a tiny asura engineer

The one with the riffle? That’s the only TC solo Roamer I’ve seen. I liked him cause I’m an asura engineer. Also TC when you see someone is in a 2v1 and already finished one guy why you gotta bring 5 more in??? I can’t 6v1 yet!!!! But I’ll 3v1 anytime. Also TC after you engage in said 6v1 don’t call 7 more TC to chase the poor guy (in this case me) from north most ruins to south camp. it’s a pretty inefficient use of your time especially she over half of you are getting downed from the bombs I keep putting on the ground.

CNB 5 man roam squad and 30 man army had fun group fights so far in the matchup! Good fights on SoS BL today Ark+Inc sorry we had to retreat TC wanted to get sipped at our garrisons gates 24/7 and some of us wanted their loots. Sad I didn’t see AoN today I always love telling our people if you aren’t close enough in a ball AoN will eat your tail… And they do <3 those guys. CERN sorry nightlight hasn’t been on much (except Sunday morning) you guys are so much more of a challenge when he’s at the helm. And I’m curious who RoT is cause they weren’t on TC when I was there but there’s a lot of them are they like ex Pink? Did Jadon leave or are there a lot less Pink in WvW? Also I wanna fight EP come to SoS BL… Please …. CNB got stuck with garrison duty this week.

Im Not So Nice.2360:

So I saw two different people in Aggression [Agg] on SoS this morning in EB… are you guys ditching JQ or what? I’m confused.

they couldn’t play at all cause of the queues was their explanation. SoS gave Agg alot of money to transfer just a little under 1 copper. also TC and Mag you’re both pretty don’t fight.

Wow really? 4.5 hours dafaq man that’s insane. max we had was 15 mins queue.

Actually it got to be a 30 minute queue… But only for EB. Also Thanks to all the PvE people I’m done with the achievements for killing enemies. You guys are lovely, just a pro don’t go full berzeker gear, this is not a farm raid you have to think about damage dealt (by 20-80 depending on Zerg size) vs damage received (by the individual). A group of 20 wearing full soldier armor focusing damage on 1 spot with berserkers will down then extremely quick.

guys? what is the meaning of life anymore..? can anyone help me? anyone?

: ((((

Shhhhhh there there fellow SoR you’ll find meaning someday. And before you know it your skills will be of cooldown and all this trouble will be over. Just hold on till 6pm PST tomorrow.

On a more serious note I want to say thank you to SBI and SoR for all of the wonderful fights this week, whether I was roaming on my engineer or holding bay for 3 hours on my guardian. I enjoyed every kill as much as every single death. CNB has officially been on SoS for 4 weeks now (3 resets) now and this has been the most fun week since bandwagoners left Kaineng. If our gold league matchups are going to be like this week we are more than happy to be here. Anyways <3 thanks guys you are great <3

PS SoS don’t be sad about 2v1 only a few SoR should feel ashamed the rest of them are pretty chill. I’m sorry my post caused almost 2 pages of rage I just wanted to inform.

Nice pic, they’re all invaders, and all wearing default level 2 gear. You’re a big boy!

Some of ur SOS buddies…….

Congratulations, you took some guys from FAD, a dedicated PvE guild.

The biggest scandal about this picture is that their guild leader doesn’t like WvW and will ask them what they were doing there.

way to throw server mates under the bus

I’m not, I have family in that guild. They are a PvE guild that has been exploring WvW for the upcoming season.

I just find it sad that they found 3 folks new to WvW wandering around, then ran to the forums to brag with screenshots.

he’s right from their corpses you can se 2 of the 3 were wearing underlevel armor and their WvW rank was all extremely low

I heard a rumor that in an effort for SBI to get into gold league SoR has decided to focus on taking SoS stuff and leaving SBI alone. A SoR commander even got kittened on because of taking an SBI keep while SoS still owned stuff on the map. This might be why they hate the color red…I don’t know it’s just a rumor. Anyways a Choo also told me there was a never ending queue on SoS BL until there was no red.

Those are not rumors, there is a topic about it on the SBI website, under the general discussion WvWvW session.

Yup here is the quote “I’m on record as saying I would personally prefer silver league because of the closer fights.
But I’m willing to fight in gold as long as we got there fairly. If we deserve to be there, we should be. Sure, we’ll get smashed for 7 weeks, but somebody has to, and if we’re most deserving of that beatdown, so be it. I still went out and fought every day for SBI this week doing my best, spending my gold and blueprints trying to fight fairly.
I was disgusted when I logged in this morning and saw members of SoR in our teamspeak working with TE to doubleteam SoS to get our PPT up to get us into gold league.
SoR literally had 20 people sitting in our bay at the lord, not capping it.
That’s not the SBI I’ve spent well over a year fighting for. I don’t understand why TE is speaking for our entire server.
I logged off in disgust this morning. This isn’t what WvW is supposed to be.
I would like this addressed at the server meeting tonight, because I find it quite despicable.
Now after 5 and a half days fighting, we can’t even fairly claim a win over SoS.”

As you can see sos has quite the force in NA primetime. This was 30v70-80 and a hell of alot of fun. keep on coming please they were great fights

Not gonna lie CNB run 20-30 and fang had around 20 as well so rooster is wrong we had over 50 if you count all the pugs. However you did not state that this fight had begun at the Derry south of the location. Though FEAR has around 30 people we had already gone through 30+ other SoR in that fight. This was a pretty even and fight. CNB has had fun going up against your guild even though either you are outnumbered too heavily or we are. But in most cases both our guilds manage to kill about half a Zerg before falling to sheer numbers so my hat is off to you too FEAR keep fighting… And may the queue gods be forever in your favor.

No matter where SoS ends up on the league crap we will have fun. The server recently got 2 great guilds CNB/Rx. Already we can see a difference in our NA organization against a T1.5 server. All we really need are couple more NA guilds to hold our own in NA timezone and bring balance to T2 with TC/FA/SBI…

That’s exactly the way we look at it too. Though we main not win the war during NA we win our battles because Fang, BEAR, TS, BLNT, CB, CNB, and Rx all working together beautifully. CNB is still really happy to be on a server that doesn’t give up against the giants. If SBI beats us (which they did last night) we may still end up top of silver league. However I would rather fail at something challenging and improve then succeed without effort. Anyways SoS is an awesome server.

Heizero.9183:

Am i correct to assume you guys chose SoS?

Edit: I only ask because i saw an officer from CNB mention it in the SoS recruitment forum.

I was telling SoS we have heavy interest in joining them (top 3 choices) no confirmation was given.

Prosecutor.1457:

I think everyone wants to know what options [CNB] is looking at right now. :O

So we are currently voting on the following on a private website, we have scouts who are twitch streaming reset in most of these. SoS FA IoJ SBI SF and YB, not coming to any early conclusions but SoS is heavily in the lead.

Ok so here is the simple solution I can think of, I understand that removing the stat buff removes the validity of claiming the buff in the first place here is what should happen. Remove stat bonuses. WvW revolves around ppt so we need some form of ppt to create a valid impact for claiming nodes for your world (finishing people buff shouldn’t be remove that is really fun for roamers).
Now that everyone has a equal fighting chance and 1v1 and GvG can happen again why would I ever want to capture a point that just gives a bad buff? Because you make it worth ppt for 1 point held at tick the server is awarded 1 point for 2 points they are awarded 1+2=3 points and so on up to 15 points per map. This is not a lot of points but it is balanced.
The enemy team now has incentive to take back one or two point because the more less points the occupying team holds the less points they get, it becomes in fact more worth it for the defending team to defend and for the attacking team to attack.
Is this not enough points? Well you could always make point values 1-4-9-16-25 instead of 1-3-6-10-14.
Anyways it’s simple keeps true to the goal of the update which to make roamers happy and keeps GvG and 1v1 fanatics happy. Hopefully someone reads this.
