I can assure you, when FC hit the bottom and stayed there for 9 weeks, it was pretty much the same – there was more petty bickering than actual WvWing, while SF & ET were rampaging through our lands.
Many people left, and I would lie if I say I didn’t thought of doing so too, but I couldn’t bring myself to leave my friends at FDM. So I stayed and now I am glad I did.
Every server goes through ups and downs. It is quite normal. There is no need for the players of HoD to jump ship just yet. Do your best to stay strong and positive – and keep in mind that it is the victories against overwhelming odds that people remember – not a 5 man party killing an upleveled toon.
Probly could beat all PAXA 1v1 (cept mesmers) but ofcourse that means nothing since they all run group oriented builds. Still I think osif should calm down a bit about what takes skill. Sure you can put a noob up on a mortar or treb and have him nail the same spot for 3 hours straight and get loot bags, but I don’t think anyone is arguing that. Skilled treb shooters that nail my siege on the first shot are far more annoying than any skilled roamer, not to mention they actually are playing for objectives.
Seriously 5v5 does not require the amount of skill you say it does, it requires the correct builds and the ability to press CTRL+T.
EB confirmed is as most a. hole server in the game. Far beating out even the former black gate! I congratulate you guys! What do you plan to do with this enormous blowout of how much you can pound your chest and use “skill”?
To be honest, it’s a very small minority that do that on the forums, Darek. Because if we were to base all servers on their forum warriors, then BP could be declared worse due to Kalkz and Evilzara, and AR could have been declared worse for quite a while due to CHAR. Every server has its forum warriors, you just learn to ignore them and play the game.
What are you talking about? CHAR is awesome! I think the funniest day in WvW history was when i got ganked by 4 charr in that guild, they danced on me, and then when I joined their party they were talking about Jews and the third reich! very fun.
No offense but I find no difference in challenge between competent zergVzergs and 5v5. Yeah ok I’m being focused in 5v5 throw up a stun breaker and burn my elite, cc and blind the dps warrior blabla. Ok now we’re focusing one of them, corrupt boon stability, cc and immo and down, pull or blowout allies out of shadow refuge and hope for a biter.
Kk now I’m in a zerg fight. Were on ram of a tower and we get a heads up that another Zerg is inc. We quickly withdraw with with line of warding, stack might and veil push trying to cc them to death. We wipe then, but enough got inside to get AC’s up. Now we have to flash build another AC of cata to take out their siege and continue the assault.
Meh, more personal awarenesss in 5v5 but it’s not that different.

Hey Eredon Terrace and Fergs should just marry each other.
that way you can crawl on the bottom together, or hell maybe you’ll get somewhere!
You must be new here, allow me to provide you a heads up, we have been in the bottom tier together long before you or HoD showed up.
We are more like siblings at this point, we have our petty spats, but in the end, we are stuck together.
Gives a whole new meaning to double teaming when guild [BS] from ET insist on not capping anything in our BL in order to solely defend FC camps and towers. ET, don’t you want to come in 2nd?
Just be sure you’re not mixing the ET Basic[BS] guild up with the Fergs Bloody Swagmen[BS] same tag yet completely different guilds. Just thought I’d mention that since we made a bit of a habit of defending what we took in your BL to keep the PPT as long as possible
It was definitely ET’s BS. I would’ve been less surprised if it was FC. To wreckz, ofc you dont rep your entire server, thats why i specifically mentioned your guild. Seems like most times i encounter your peeps, they’re not doing much to help your server’s score. Picking random fights seems to miss the point of wvw but to each his own lol
You don’t quite fully understand what WvW is. It is a platform for player vs player, and player vs door at the same time. [BS] / [Invi] / [OINK] / [KoM] / [PAXA] / (Sometimes [FoE] / (sometimes [SeT], DO NOT play the pvdoor version of WvW. All you zergers seem to think that the “real” way to play wvw is pvdoor and to get points. Wrong. That is A way to play it, we chose the more fulfilling / challenging route of player vs player. We’re all also from a different era of mmo’s. We actually like using more than 3 abilities per fight. We usually use somewhere in the range of 30-40 abilities in 1 minute? Maybe less time?
So yea to each his own. We wont be helping our server’s anytime soon.
Idk why there can’t be a balance of both. I like to think that I go for all aspects of WvW, including running with zergs, structured 15mans, structured 5 mans, solo roaming, and setting up siege and upgrading alone after a tower is capped. I think switching between different types of gameplay is what has kept me playing almost every day for several hours in WvW since launch.
I got a head shot double kill video coming for you [Invi] guys this weekend when I can edit a video together.
Great fights! Don’t worry, I’ll show getting my face melted as well.
Nice vid PAXA, kitten that north camp fight. I thought for sure we had you guys after getting the Guardian down but a perfect timed shadow refuge/ revive and you turned it around. Good fights and I’ll be back in town tonight so at least a few of us will be roam’n around.
If anyone on FC wants to roll with us tonight just hit me up in-game we should have room for a couple.
I’ll shoot you a whisper, SS has been playing a lot of alts lately and the talent on the new classes hasn’t really developed yet so it’s kinda sad
I like Arenanet’s quick patches. Coming from Nexon games myself, Nexon would always put out a notice for a 1-5 hour maintenence and close down their game. Then after 5 hours, the game still wouldn’t start. 10 minutes after the maintenence was supposed to end, Nexon would put up a new announcement saying the maintenence has been extended for 1 hour. Then an hour later, they would extend it for another hour, and another, and another, and another. The longest time they’ve ever stringed us along like that was 48 hours. They had posted some 30 announcements saying “1 more hour.” It was terrible. I’ll take Anet any day over Nexon.
Well in all fairness nexon is one of the worst game companies that exist
Fun fights tonight! ET pulled a lot of people in the beginning but then disappeared :/
Then FC showed up after ET seems to have left, great Job FC for wiping us at ET keep(we ported our golems back to spawn just in time)!
Tonight I was really expecting to get double teamed but it looks like everything worked out! Thanks for playing fair you guys ^^
I’m so kittening done with HoD. Honestly get the kitten out of my tier I dont kittening want 5 40 person zergs in our BL.
This isn’t even close to fun, I feel like I’m kittening going against Kaineng.
[VLK] just barely managed to pull ~23 people together, then when we stepped into EB, PHZE already had twice if not more than that, pretty amazing numbers I have to admit.
However, we still had to do a lot of map jumping, like when ET capped our whole BL, and then we showed up and capped it back completely in 1 tick, and went back to FC BL
30 min queue in FC BL for the past hour, put that into perspective if ET thinks they have any focus AT ALL
Guards all use renewed focus. Most eles use the elemental glyph. Rangers have a choice and can run either entangle or rampage as one. Theives also have a choice but most run dagger storm. As stated all engis use supply crate. Mesmers run either Moa or mass invis. I consider mesmers to have the best and most useful elites in the game by far. Necros are pretty stupid IMO, but all are equally bad good.
Fair to say point gaps are about the same in each tier right? EB is 120 rank points ahead of 2nd. SoS is 100 rank points ahead of 2nd. So it’s fair to say that both servers are 120 rank points above each 2nd place server, which is why EB is getting little points while SoS is getting a decent amount. If the matches were the exact same, both EB and SoS would probably be around 120-130 rank points of 2nd after a few weeks. Of course the real problem is how does one tier even relate to another tier? EB has been in that same matchup for a couple months now, how do we know they won’t destroy tier 4 now? Or that BP and AR won’t be destroyed in T6? Glicko can only give ratings based on the already decided ranks of the servers playing, and since he same servers always fight, it’s nearly impossible to significantly change ranking points enough to actually move tiers.
And if you continue, then I hope you get banned for this obvious exploit.
—ok, it appears the posts I am replying to have mysteriously disappeared—
From a programmer’s perspective, I will be curious to see how they will fix this ressing-mesmer-inside-enemy-gate business….obviously, I don’t know how the game is written lol, just hope it doesn’t open up a whole other can of worms for them.
I totally applaud the ingenuity of the person who thought of this ressing though. Love stuff like that!:D
@moobs : I feel for your forced name change. I’m scared to play my warrior now (named after a inside joke..)
GW2 seems to have a large community of entitled, immature psychopaths, who would report someone for $FABRICATED_REASON because they don’t like something they’ve said or done….
This is also the reason I haven’t joined a guild. I want nothing to do with such a poisonous community. I’m more comfortable with the worst of EVE Online’s sociopaths than I am with GW2’s pants-on-head insane psycho children.
They fixed using portals from behind gates so the code is written. they just need to implement it.
And I think I’m going to use the name Mobos, as it’s probably not taken and is similar enough for people to know who I am.
Only way to stomp a Mesmer is to stomp, interupt stomp, restomp, and hope they come out of stealth somewhere nearby so you can get it off. Warriors hahaha. Pop blind, aegis, stability or just multi stomp and it’s guaranteed. Not to mention hammer has the easiest to see and longest cast time of all 2 skills. Honestly warriors are he easiest in the game to stomp so if you wanna trade the 2nd best downed 2 skill for that; please be my guest.
Atm there is no possible way to stop a teleport like there is to stop leaps, invulnerable movements using immobilize etc. Should teleports be possible to stop? IMO I think mesmers being able to spam a 1200 distance creator every 6 seconds is pretty ridiculous given how you can’t stop it. What do you think about immobilize causing teleports to fail? The only problem I see with this is it can really screw up some sword thieves. This will also make the entangle elite a bit more viable since half the classes won’t just teleport out making it completely useless.
welp arenanet has found out I tried to cheat their system and I’ve received a 3 day ban for using the name moobs again. I guess I’m gonna have to pick out a real new name now. sigh.
Not like my thief can jump into a 30 man zerg first and always survive by daggerstorming with malice signet on.
your thief however can spam Cluster bombs poison and stealth to run away from the zerg .
Running away is NOT a positive…I don’t see why so many people think being only able to run from a zerg somehow translates to a good thing, while Guardians can tank through zergs with ease.
One is fighting and helping out their team. The other is trying not to die.
Guardians can “tank” a zerg for 4-5 seconds by popping back to back their and elite that make them invulnerable, +f3 2 times. After that they manage to die 1s slower than any other class with an equivalent build because when zerged only invulnerabilities save you.
My guard can last 1 minute plus alone ina zerg with a block/shut bunker build but I also know how to maximize evade
My necromancer can kill 20 players + your guild in under 5 seconds.
My lvl 2 thief can face tank your entire server with only a single pistol.
What these guys said is about how stupid you sound to me, frost.
I was joking…and so was the person I quoted… PLEASE tell me you didn’t take me for serious….

No one is really saying mist form overall is OP (although it is since the only stomp interrupter other than mesmers that can’t be countered), they’re only saying that it’s unfair eles can get inside portals while downed while thieves can’t with teleports, nor any other class. Ithink they should just make it so they can’t go through portals while downed.
I’d use what I use for fun with my engi, basically a condition engi with HGH and all elixirs except for 1, where I use toolkit and run P/S. I’m sure there’s a similar build easy to find but I can’t post mine ATM.
No. Some TTA who were kitten about my guild reported me for no reason. I already made a ticket and over night they told me that they won’t revert it.
God that kitten es me off. I need to rename 6 of my 8 characters.
I shall corpse-jump those honourless dogs the next time I see them.
that made my day
btw look for the charr warrior specifically (usualy w/ commander tag)
Because shelter can block a lot of damage if timed right especially in a pvp environment. Like 10K damage +.
yeah, thats great on paper. and theoretically its brilliant.
In practise its never that simple. Its the danger of relying on perfect situations in theory, rather than more likely situations in practise which are far more messy.
I’ll take teh certainty of signet over the siutationally better shelter. becuase whilst shelter may outperform signet 1 time in 20, I prefer my signet which works better for me the other 19 times…..
Its just the situational awareness/skill of knowing when you need to pop shelter. With renewed focus and shelter I can easily negate immobilize, burst combos if Im out of condi removal.. I’m looking at you blurred frenzy. There really isn’t any reason for me to take the signet since if you’re playing any decent players you’re going to get nursed for 200% of your HP anyway.
I believe I said that I already made a ticket and they didn’t revert anything. Again no surprise since this is indeed on edge and one GM won’t be overturning another GM.
