Because smaller numbers are supposed to be able to stop larger numbers? There are pletnty of zerg busting videos out there already, this game has a lot of combo affects between class’s , where if built right as a team you can overcome larger numbers already and you don’t need to use a Stomp to finish the opponent! So tweaking downed state can likely offset this more? But no we can’t think about how modifying downed state could effect the larger wvw play. You want a quicker Stomp use a time warp, don’t have a time warp friend a mesmer.
Stomps to me is more about bragging honestly. Spvp it is more vital, in WvW stopping killing to stomp when you can AoE the hordes can very likely be the difference of winning and losing in open field combat. Especially if 4 or 5 players on your side all stop to do the stomp!
False Advertising? Really? Yeah Anet didn’t design an entire 5 v 5 design called spvp for the small scale fighting at all did they? I run solo constantly man there times where I wish I had a 5 man crew to run with but it doesn’t stop me. Keep living up to your sig man.
OH shnap they know about the Blackgate War Council!! The man isn’t gonna let me keep my silvers now!!
Removal of downed state would drastically change play of wvw, how would you rez a keep lord after pushing a zerg out of the keep, but yet one person above suggested the removal of rezzing killed players. (keep lords are npc players but players still) Rezzing a downed player also takes a while so that person rezzing is a sitting duck.
Rezzing in a downed state can be done very fast unless that person is trying to be rezzed through a swarm of aoe’s! I think the downed state is actually very balanced for play in wvw.
After leaving Rift which over tweeked and over nerfed everything that was complained about before looking at the Big Picture of how tweeks and nerfs can affect playstyle of a game, I would really hate to see that start to happen here. So posts like this wanting change the game to affect a few vs the many really get annoying, because there isn’t consideration for the balance that is already in place.
Find another mmo then, this game thought outside the box and created a game without healers and rezzing class’s. Downed state is a part of this system. You don’t like this system I can’t help you, WvW is not 1 v 1 experience, yes you can find duels I do all the time but they are few and far in between and don’t expect it of my gaming experience. I also don’t expect to change every other players gaming experience to suffice my wants.
Try the Sea of Zergs I mean Sorrows where you don’t just get to be a player you get to be a Number!
Take it from Thief #007653 Sea of Zergs is the life for me! I just hit T and 1 and win!
or other great players such as Elementalist #006411 who needs skill? We have culling bombs! And who could forget Warrior#014973 I’m spinning baby look at me spin!
Sounds like original poster needs to stay in spvp, not wvw. Or adjust your gameplay to wvw tactics, which means running with more then just a small group of 5 or less. There are videos of players doing 12 v 50 in wvw if u run the right builds and are coordinated you don’t have to run a complete zerg to compete.
Don’t care about the 2 v 1, that is a part of w3 experience. But the Culling bombs on the other hand are ridiculous, yes the game needs to fix it, but not untill getting into t1 is it really a problem. T2 wasn’t fielding 60-80 players on a single keep take. Dying to invisible players is out of hand in t1, and quite frankly makes me want to move to a lower bracket where the game play is more enjoyable. Which is more frustrating after all the work our server has done in to getting here. Just my 2 cents though.
Hunting War Machine before blackgate was kicked from T1 was my favorite. Was hilarious Choco Eclair our guilds commander didn’t care if we were losing he only wanted to hunt war machine as long as we could. Win or lose we had fun doing it.
I didn’t say anything about skil for one, I did say we are challenged though. There are players that defend in oceanic time who you act like don’t exist and we are just given everything on a silver platter which is not the case. For example the garrison take which went on this morning that I have mentioned above.
Yes we have fought on multiple fronts, you forget blackgate was a t1 server before, until we had a lot of bandwagoners leave server to move to our opposition which sunk us and we had to to rebuild. We experienced a lot of 2 v 1 and didn’t cry about it, yet here you are acting like you are the only one who has ever gotten 2 v 1’d.
Yes I think it is a challenge to assault a fully upgraded garrison being defended by 40 players and take it. Guess you don’t like giving your own server some credit though, gluck blaming others for your losing next week when sbi moves down.
Yeah taking a fully upgraded garrison being defended by 40 players isn’t challenging at all. No challenge what so ever.
Follow Function, so much walking around in wvw sometimes being able to /follow someone would be really nice.
Covergirl from rift? I know a lot of jade quarrys came from rift, I don’t know you if it is just seen your sig a hundred times in rift forums if it is you.
Yes we can, we outnumber at night we still are challenged. What you are trying to do is make your server seem greater by trying to knock us down in forums. Face up to the facts us moving up and sbi moving down will probably make this game much more enjoyable for all. Closer more competitive scoring, because the match up atm is very imbalanced and needs to be changed.
Yeah we just took tarnished coasts garrison that was being defended by 40 TC in a very long dragged out siege hats off to TC for the Defense. Just because we play at your servers off time does not mean we don’t fight anyone. And for staying competitive yes we do in the the day, we don’t 0 out on ppt we may get down to the hundreds ppt but thats it.
No we defend in the day with less numbers and stay competitive then at night turn up the heat. Not my fault you can’t crank up big numbers in primetime for your server.
When we went to t1 the first time it was bandwagoners that caused us to lose. First week we were very competitive even lead at one point then war machine came back and took first. Then bandwagoners jumped ship and we got pummeled back into t2.
Been a lot of fun though in t2 I will miss it. T1 is a whole new ball game I hope we are able to stay competitive this time.
BG 271K +495
SoR 166k +75
TC 143k +125
As I stated in my initial post staying in t2 is just fine. it is where I prefer to be. T1 has round the clock zergs, and way more exploiters. I don’t care how you play, but I do care the environment I play in. Get what I’m saying? Have a treaty try to do us in, IT WILL NOT HAPPEN UNTIL YOU GET OCEANIC PLAYERS!
What bravado? Just stating facts, until SoR/TC can put up an Oceanic Assault there is no competition.
A Treaty won’t save SoR/TC your servers honestly don’t have the round the clock coverage that blackgate does. Recruit more Oceanic WvW’rs. Coming from a blackgate original I was there when the server went to t1 and it wasn’t pretty, the zergs were bigger the exploits were way more often. I’m honestly quite happy staying in the t2 bracket. So Sor/TC you want to make a treaty maybe you should make a treaty to throw in the towel and ensure blackgate moves up a tier cause we got no problem leading t2 bracket week after week, and this isn’t because we are more skilled it is just a numbers game in our favor.
I lose my cursor constantly also and I’m pretty sure the direct reason for this is Mouse look and mouse moving, which I constantlly use, when you mouse look the cursor disappears. This shouldn’t happen imo you should always be able to see where your cursor is reguardless of mouselook and its an easy fix, would be nice to have a more customizable cursor as well able to change look, shape, size, color what not to make it stand out more when fighting particle bombs.
