Guild Wars 2

Tetris with Fists.4615:

It’s just… I’m trying to get that achievement (not to mention the treasure), and your guys simply waste my time jumping up there and my money repairing my armor.

This doesn’t seem like player vs player to me, it’s 5 lvl 80 guys swatting down newcomers like myself.

If you want it so much- fight for it! I know if I meet you in the puzzle, I will try to kill you, I will not give you siege for free.
On the other hand, if you do fight your way through the puzzle and get to the top- you earned it
…… Or just wait for a mesmer to portal you to the top, that works too.

wads.5730:

so this one time i killed like a bunch of players at once by myself

and it was like totally awesome

Remember that you can get stability/stealth/elixir S stomped with the current 2- I’d like to see a emergency teleportation device on the 2 instead, acting like the thiefs 2

It annoys me when people call victories lucky- If one person wins, that means they either outplayed the others or the others made a mistake, or both.

Fighting CD’s Oceanic force was a pleasure- you guys are prettty tough, and theres a fair few of you as well.

All those saying engineer is bad haven’t met a good HGH condi engi- which is the only viable build atm for engis.
I think most people run into those useless flamethrower/turret engis and cut them down easily, leading to a perception of the class being bad when really it’s them not knowing how to build their class.

To win world vs world- you cap objectives. Thus world exp should come from capping objectives- killing players in your way helps you cap objectives, and that is rewarded too.
World vs World is not a deathmatch mode- it is a take and hold mode and thus the WXP for objectives should be there.

azizul.8469:

WXP should only come from killing players…… capping should just give you normal XP only

That is a horrible idea- the whole point of world vs world is to control objectives, not be some kind of silly death match, why do you not want to reward players for being useful in world vs world?

From I have seen during this matchup as a solo roamer- SBI usually has some decent solo roamers flipping camps and CD, while not having solo roamers( that I personally have seen) will usually have a group of 5-10 going around capping camps.
All in all, easy to find some smaller scale fights around instead of zerg vs zerg all the time, thanks for the fun CD and SBI

I suggest figuring out how you personally like to play, and build around that.
- use the best gear you can + consumables, right off the bat that should give a decent stat boost.
-check your traits, are they optimal for what you want to do? Check guides, experiment around a bit till you feel like you have something that works.
-Review your skills- Do you lack condition removal? Do you have a stunbreaker? How about a gapcloser or escape skill? If not can you play around not having them?
-Review opponent skills- What do you feel weak to? Are thieves oneshotting you? mesmers confusing you all day? Learning a bit about the classes that give you the most trouble is a good start to improving.
And thats all I got off the top of my head- Glhf out there.

I thought it was good practice to hit CD in the day in order to nullify the points gained by your oceanic presence (which gains 400-500 ppt at night)
As for teaming up- Mag will hit anyone and I’m sure SBI feels the same way.

As an engi, all the changes did was kill the 100nades build- hgh condi builds are still pretty decent, turrets and gadgets are still useless.

Hammerguard.9834:

FC and ET does have an issue when it comes to map completion.

Isn’t restricted to T8 NA- look at tiers like T9 EU- how are you supposed to get map completion on the losing servers in those tiers? Randomised colours would solve that- but creates another issue too (strongest team getting red side in EB etc).
There really isn’t a simple solution to this problem

I had the thought that instead of loot bags, all loot you earn should go to a personal chest at the spawnpoint of the BL – I think that would be neat.

I hate to be the one to mention this- but there are a group of CD who are using exploits, I just had a CD mesmer wave at me, jump THROUGH the gate at mendons, then proceed to portal his team inside.
I know CD are a good server, with good people, but stuff like this really reflects badly on a server.

wrong place to post this. ss and send it to support tyvm

I thought both SBI and CD should be made aware of this- also some of them never get banned anyway.

Wierd bug while fighting some SBI guys -I got pulled by mesmer focus 4, then I couldnt move my char at all ( wasn’t immobilized or anything) I just had to stand there not being able to do anything while I was killed- so annoying x.x

I just fought 2 mesmers- it didn’t matter how often I downed them, as they would just use the confusion from their 1 ( I can’t attack them without losing a lot of health) or avoid a stomp (Can’t even invuln stomp them as it teles them away from me)
If that was an engi I’d had downed- he would be dead for sure….. but you know, downed states are perfectly balanced…..

Get them to tell me this secret to how Mesmers never die

You’re missing the point! Downed states are imbalanced, and they all need to be looked at- it’s silly that some classes have better downed abilities than others.

The point I got was that you’re sad you couldn’t 2v1 some mesmers.

As an example- If I , an engi went down in that same fight- I probally would have died, but they, as memers didn’t die (because their downed state is better than mine.)
Now I know engis are weak, and have the worst downed state in the game, but that ticked me off of how silly the whole downed state mechanic is- it needs balancing.

So why do you believe that Mesmer’s Downed state should be nerfed instead of Engi’s Downed State being buffed?

I believe the whole downed state mechanic needs a revamp.

In a game with no healing class, mobility and stealth will naturally be OP, as the best defense in this game is to not take damage at all.

Like Forty Seven Ninjas.6982:

Engineer here, I really dont want to hear ANY complaining that your downed state is “too weak”. We all know that’s a load of crap. Imho that is way too much damage for a downed skill. I personally think the confusion stacks are too much for a downed skill as well. (This is coming from an engi with a rng #1, a 2s cast time pull, and then an explosion to knock people away on a long kitten cooldown.) I think everyone’s downed skills should be like the engi’s or the guardians as in fairly non-lethal.

I completely agree that if damage is based on stats then health and toughness need to be as well.

As a fellow engineer, I agree- I don’t want to hear a mesmer or any other classes justifications for having such good downed abilities when us engis are stuck with ours….

So I was around jerrifers, about to run into a keep past some invaders so I pop my invuln….. then an ele knocks me down through the invuln o.o.
I had no idea eles could do that

I run the same build Mask- the confusion stacks just melt people (around 2300 damage with all stacks) and theres still a 7k damage burn from blowtorch and 140 damage bleed ticks…. it feels so strong to me, I love it

I’m excited to fight CD- they have some scary players I’ve heard good stuff about SBI too, equally as excited to fight them.

Thank you to TC and DB for the great fights this week, and to the fellow maguumans who showed up to fight even in a huge blowout- the spirit showed by you guys was fantastic, lets keep it up for the matches this week

Aeolus Skylla.5037:

So we’re (TC) moving back to T2 next reset? This makes me happy. I’d rather deal with getting blown out again by Blackgate than to deal with some of these guilds on Maguuma. So classless by one guild there, it makes me sick. I won’t mention them, but it’s pretty disappointing when they’re spamming kitten emotes at you only after they take you down with their numbers. I would be ashamed to share a server with them.

Every server has their share of people that do this, a good tip is to turn off emotes if it gets to you. (I turned mine off a long time ago)
But yeah, bad apples are on Maguuma and every server-you just tend to notice enemies behavior instead of allies so it makes it seem like the enemy server is the only one that does it.

I don’t know why we maguumans are getting the reputation for being bad mannered- every server has their bad apples and you shouldn’t judge a server based on those people.
Most maguumans I see on the field are there to have fun and do their best(and you should give them props for fighting even in a huge blowout.)

SMC just fell, amazing job by all maguumans who defended that for so long- spending hours in the lords room and barely hanging on in there, you guys make me proud

Good fights in Mag BL, and a shoutout to a very brave thief from DB, that was some cool stuff you tried to pull off, I’m sorry it didn’t go better.

I can still solo it fine.

I wish the people who do tasks like escorting yaks/trebbing would get rewarded for it- it’s a thankless job atm, but the people I see that do it are the real team players
I’d like to say a big thank you to the person who sat there and trebbed west keep for a good 20-25 minutes, you were the real hero in that attack.

Not much fights at the Mag BL I did have a 1 vs 1 with an ele until he ran away, am I really that scary? :C

Sam.3645:

Good defense there inside Mag-Garrison lord room… not sure why we could not contest your Waypoint to save our lives, even though we were hitting the inner water gate with 4omegas, the WP still would not contest ! >.>

My 20g ploped… and now I’m a sad panda.

When I saw those omegas roll in, I thought we’d lose garrison for sure- I’m proud of all the maguumans who defended the place

Our small teams typically run 5 players … never more than 10. Often solo.

When exactly do these people play? I admittedly haven’t wvwed much at all this matchup, but in the bit I have, I certainly haven’t seen any TC smallmans looking for good fights. Anyone that didn’t outnumber me turned and ran until they found help, which was generally pretty fast considering the number of TC around.

lol Blackgate coined the nickname the Zombie Coast, because you kill one of us and five more pop up and come at you.

I mostly play EST daytime, and I mostly run solo. I’ll join the zerg from time to time, but I get more enjoyment out of unique and small encounters. And I’m not alone feeling that way on TC. Most times I wind up face down in the dirt, but I consider that part of the game and all fun.

Edited to add: But we have folks like that at all hours of the day. Avoid the zerg and you’ll likely run into them.

I’ll also echo what Keth said below … I’m always wandering with a purpose to help the team … I will have some goal to achieve … It’s never strictly looking for fights …. But I usually find that’s where I encounter the smaller skirmishes.

Where do you usually run? I’m usually out solo looking for camps to cap/yaks to kill and I’d love to run into some other roamers :P

I’m proud of all the maguumans who showed up to fight- we’re outmanned sure, but that doesn’t mean we can’t fight- even if TC will just show up and take the place 10 mins later :c
Also finished my beserker gear, refreshing change from P/P condi- if you see me failing hard out there, I’m still learning how to use this darn rifle.

I love the supply crate- blast finisher, stun, bandages and a net turret? Yes please <3

Thank you to the 3-4 people that made a stand in the lords room with me against so many TC, real maguumans <3

I just wanted to say hi! Apparently the 10 TC there didn’t think so

Dontcare Aboutnames.9284:

So just a thought I was having, if Mag is so convinced they are amazing I’d like to see at least 1 video of them wiping groups instead of them just talking. (I’d hope one person would at least be able to) I know we have a few in TV who are going to start recording all of our stuff mostly for our own benefit but all this “We wiped you X times and you never wiped us” talk just seems silly from what I’ve experienced so far seeing as I had 500+ kills on Saturday on an upleveled guardian with no elite and I’m already starting his 2nd stack of badges at level 29 I’m just tossing this up here in a hope to see some video’s by Mag and DB since it’s always nice to see the opposite side of the field yours truly a humble TC player.

its not hard to stack up on badges on an upleveled character when all u have to do is run with the zerg and steam roll any small group.

not saying u guys dont have any good players but hardly have i seen any tc roam around alone and if i do find 1, two or more tc would not be far behind.

Its WvW, not spvp. Small groups have thier place in PvP maps or in the lower WvW Tiers. WvW in T2 will always be about larger groups. If Maguma ever hits T2, you’ll figure that out pretty quickly.

In T3, we all sorts of small teams out and about. Used to do it quite a bit myself. But, TC had to adjust tactics to stay in T2. Now old habits are still there back in T3. But why would we want to re-train everyone in T3 tactics when we don’t want to be here for long?

Some of BG’s camp flipping teams were 15-20 strong.

I hope never to be in T2 then, I love my solo roaming too much :P

I feel like the only solo roamer out here! Where are you fellow lonewolfs? – if you see some pink engi with the FUZZ tag, feel free to say hi/kill me/dance on my corpse.

Sam.3645:

Good duels behind DBBL south camp, many skilled players!

I ran into you earlier on Mag BL, that was an awesome fight and I hope there’s a chance for a rematch

This happened last time we fought Maguuma, even when we were on CD.

They pull the “lol we never die and pwn you guys so hard” card out. Then they talk about how bad we are.

And then when they actually go up against organized guild groups they all get dominated and promptly leave the BG while blaming numbers.

Guys, it’s getting a bit tired.

Yup, that’s what always happens. Please, tell me more. Because CD never did this! Oh no no no.

It is what always happens. When I first heard we were going up against Maguuma again, I told my guildies that we would be seeing the “we never die!” card being thrown out again. Sure enough, there it is.

Why don’t you guys stop trolling the forums and try playing the game for once, you might actually have fun.

Until then I am going to keep RP’ing. I like collecting badges while dressing up like a pretty pirate.

No way! Maguuma is in the same situation and you guessed that we would react the same way?! Please teach me, sensei! . It’s not hard to guess how forums warriors are gonna act, just as how we know how TC and CD acts. Nothing changes. If you’re tired of it, go have fun.

But the fact that you’ve been trolling as well kind of makes you seem like you should be practicing what you preach.

We would like to have fun, but you guys refuse to fight back. This week is quite boring. We actually had to stop raid night to go do guild bounties because nobody else would come out and fight. I think you guys are too worried about losing. On TC we were getting zerg stomped for weeks (yes, some servers have more people than us) and yet we never stopped fighting back, and we always had people trying to take and hold what we have. It seems like you guys just give up.

You’d be surprised what you can accomplish by not giving up right away.

There’s a difference, see on TC even if you are losing, you still have a large amount of people around. On maguuma, there is hardly anyone around when it’s a loss like this – only really the diehard players come out. Yesterday when I went to EB, there was only 7 of us on the entire map, do you expect us to do anything worthwhile with those numbers?
We’re TRYING but when it’s a turnout like this, there isn’t much we can do.

How this matchup has been for me- Try to flip a camp with 3 people, TC portal bombs with at least 15. Whatever, wipe, try again at the next camp – TC rolls by with at least 10 people.
There’s just TC EVERYWHERE, it feels like it’s not even worth trying to play this week. I hope TC leaves this tier and never ever comes back to it – Sowwie TC, but you don’t belong here.

In the meantime, I’ll be sitting here with my engis downed skills…. the one that pulls the opponent to me x.x
All the strong classes have awesome downed abilities, it’s really quite depressing as a engi player

I’ll keep fighting on, but honestly this match doesn’t even feel fun to play- literally every time I’ve fought, its been against TC outnumbering us 3 to 1.

100nades is what keeps engis viable- please don’t nerf it.

Lots of awesome fights this week! Thank you to FA and DB for being such fantastic opponents
