He’s a roamer and everyone is zerging.
Easily believable. There are other roamers around, however the roaming mindset usually drives them to go to enemy borderlands, where there’s more chance to run into the massive zergs and less chance to run into other roamers. That’s the way it goes :P
They ran into my guild a couple of times. Didn’t end well for them =P
Good fights though!You talking about [OG]? The only guild I know of that has beat us without overwhelming numbers is [WaR].
We ran into OG twice, there was 5 of u and 6 of us each fight.
You make false assumptions. I suppose you don’t have a video to back this up do you?
Ill ask around. I remember fighting an OG D/D ele outside DR Garrison yesterday, was that u?

now now..dont have to lie on the forums… OG has only had 1 good fight this week..which was against (WAR) .. any other guild out there, has gotten rolled by us… if you want a 5v5 challenge..please wait in line.. (WAR) is first
Ummm, yea it happened there smalls. Also we didn’t have any downed players each fight. So maybe thats what you mean about only having ‘1 good fight.’
“Guys, its OG, be careful they’re pretty good and make videos of small group fights”
a minute later after we stomped the last one
“They do?”
Only thing I can think of is that theres a guild with an ‘â’ in there somewhere or something, but I don’t think there was. Or maybe you weren’t there for those two fights. /shrug

Wanted: Dead
This Commander from Magruuma
10 Alpha Siege Golems to first confirm kill:O
I’ve killed this guy!
I was having this discussion with a few guardians I play with a couple of weeks ago. We talked about the GM Trait being the snare, but thats too deep in the tree. If anything it should be a 15-20 trait, or put into a weapon or two. Another could be a 20 second CD and 5 second duration on Glacial Heart.
We’ve got low mobility (especially when compared to warrior/thief/DD ele/mesmer) and have no cripple? /confusedThe problem with making it low is that every Guardian will have it.
For example, if this was 20 Zeal then every Guardian would run 20/x/30/x/x, and most Guardians would run 20/0/30/20/0.
Plus, I think a trait this effective is more balanced at 30 Zeal.
However, there could definitely be other traits added or weapon skills with snares.
5 people at a time, but used in a choke point, it would hit a lot more than 5 popel running through it.
Only 5 people will be chilled at a time, as the Symbol would pulse once per second and inflict 1 chill per pulse.
Or I could use Line of Warding and block 500 people and completely prevent movement with 0 traits needed.
At the moment you have skills that are even better than what I’m suggesting as they give multiple second AoE chills and cripples.
I’ve found it nearly absolutely necessary to run at least 20 into virtues for the resolve trait that removes 3 conditions from u and allies. Losing that would force me to change what I’d be doing in our small group combat. 20 is plenty deep into a tree to lose quite a bit, but still giving it to other specs that don’t go full into power.
However thats why I like the idea of making Glacial Heart 20 second CD w/5 second duration. Or putting some chill on a couple of weapons.
EDIT: We also talked about the symbol pulses. It wasn’t a bad idea giving more utility towards increasing the range/duration to maximize area control (since that is a guard’s bread and butter). However doing this would nearly require you moving around other symbol traits or moving the suggested new trait low in the tree. Since it would be a bit pointless to have it on a small, low duration symbol…unless it was the staff, then it wouldn’t be that bad.

Why is it that Guardians are the only class in the game without ‘Crippled’ in their weapon skills or utilities? I know we got some much needed love with Glacial Heart, but the proc rate is still to high imo. Have they discussed whether or not we’re getting some other form of snare?
Dear Bluefin Tuna (FIN) warrior from BP with GS (Eternity) / Sword n Board, this is the Sunrise/Juggernaut guard from the southeast side of Stonemist. Thanks for making zerg surfing bearable =D
I usually despise anything zerg, but killing people then backing off to stop you from doing what I just did was a lot of fun. It felt like the battle of Troy, lol.
Nice damage/escapeability. I hope more warriors don’t start doing what you do.
The BP zerg in BPBL is the funniest thing i have seen in WvW so far. Its literally a ‘roaming’ zerg. No objective, just run as a zerg and chase down everything they see, its hilarious.. and sad.
No I think the one in your BL is much more entertaining. We massacred about 40 of them over the course of 10 minutes. Are you guys mostly British? It reminds me of this…
You used cannons and alligators?
OFC! River drakes and siege cannons. Now only if my guard could catch someone riding the lightning…

0.o
I’d almost forgotten what player culling, thanks for reminding me maguuma!
Surely you must be used to it with BP. BP had 40-50 members huddled together in our BL at all times, never splitting up ever.
Nah we experienced that too. It wasnt until they got down to around 25-30 that my 10 man was able to wipe them out repeatedly =P
I’d almost forgotten what player culling, thanks for reminding me maguuma!
Curious Devonas, you are so dead set on hitting Borlis BL, yet the group we both knew had the numbers, magumma, you have not even gone near. Makes no kitten sense to me.
Here are the three reasons AD stayed there.
1) DL BL was ful
2) Was filled with FURIOUS ANGER at being zerged by Green/Blue for the first 20 minutes. So we decided to stay and take out that FURIOUS ANGER on the zerg.
3) A goat bit me when I was a kid and have hated them ever since
@ Miss Winters, its always fun running around with you guys. You’re always welcome in our nomadic (sometimes suicidal) band of misfits =D
(edited by Dynnen.6405)
You guys act like its hard to get exotic gear. But at the same time coming into wvw without maxing out your character is just suicide. Although the reason people still do that is the slowly vanishing idea of ‘exp trains’. If you don’t make any money and just go farming you can have an exotic nearly everyday. Admittedly that thief was very squishy, but I don’t know if its from glass cannon spec or green/blue gear. Also knowing other classes is excessively important. You can stop a mug/backstab thief by one simple dodge, same with mesmer shatter.
My problem was with the /laugh x 2. A bit kitten imo.
Alright TDME, I don’t mind that you wont duel me in the NSP BL. I also don’t mind that I ripped one of your thieves apart in like 3 seconds. Its kinda lame though that multiple of you laugh.
Or maybe you did feel like dueling and thought it was over once I destroyed that thief. I’m gonna go with that and give you guys the benefit of the doubt.
@Rob
I think we all knew that match up was NSP versus AR, DR was just there for the show.
There were no point in trying to play for the first place for AR, as we didn’t have the man power to destroy DR.
It’s my personal opinion, since I’m not with the alliance, nor did I WvW much during holidays.
Don’t look past Anvil Rock for the next match up, since you guys seems to have lost a bit of population, I think we can have a great fight!
True indeed.
I can’t factor in that population loss for the outcome.
Maybe it will be close.But I wasn’t made aware that AR had given up before this week had even begun and was just going to focus NSP.
NSP has less population that AR and we managed to take half of DR bl this morning and even SM yesterday. Twice.
So from using that we see that AR could have fought DR and not just picked on us. Does that make a poor server reputation? Yes. Cowardly to simply put it.
NSP has a decent prime time presence and a heavy AM time presence. I’m guessing its from a large Oceanic population. Given that I would assume that you guys would try to maximize that strength by taking and constantly upgrading and building siege in locations you capture to help the prime time people out. However it hasn’t ever seemed that way. Each time I scout the keeps in the afternoon there isn’t much siege and hardly any response to attacks/sneak attacks.
Prime time groups need to work together better imo, because a heavily fortified structure takes awhile to break down. Working to build up fortifications should be the priority of the night crew, and working on maintaining what was captured should be the priority of the prime time. If we had that problem thats what I would suggest.
GL to you guys, we didn’t have too many small group fights vs any NSP but I will say trying to kill that female human commander with Sunrise with my Sunrise in the middle of like 15 of Os was always fun.
When I logged in this morning, I had a message accusing one of our members in PAXA of exploiting. The accusation claimed that an Asuran Warrior in PAXA took a tower all by his lonesome using an exploit. I decided to check this out as we only have one Asuran Warrior named “Not Just A Goodtime” in our guild who happens to be level 2 and was still in Wv3 when I logged on. Confused about this message I received, I decided to stealthily follow him around in AR Borderlands to see if he would use the exploit again.
To my amazement, the accusation was correct. He came from the water, shapeshifted into a giant dinosaur like creature, and took a tower by himself in less than 2 minutes. I was lucky enough to get a screenshot of this before he turned on me and proceeded to devour my body in one foul swoop. Appropriate action has been taken. I sent in the screenshot to A-Net with a report. I encourage you to do the same if you see him exploiting this bug as well. I also removed him from the guild and unfriended him on facebook.
If you want to see the sceenshot for yourself, I have attached it to this post.
We at PAXA don’t condone exploiting and hope that a tragedy like this never happens again.Happy hunting out there fellas.
Seems legit at first glance….but then I don’t know any of us that would run from giant stick figure shaped monsters.
I talked with ‘Prosecutor.1457’ about the alleged hacking with AD and BSty involved at the hills keep. We showed up and there were some mesmers there jumping into a corner and casting something. We took screen shots, informed their GM, etc. Then we set up 1 guild cata and 2 regular ones on the western wall in the near the NW door. We tore through the wall quickly and a few seconds after the walls breached, they were upgraded and immediately rebuilt. During the breach BSty/AD personnel were pushing in, but were stuck in the wall during the upgrade. ‘Prosecutor.1457’ showed up when the reinforced wall was at 80% with some our people either trying to jump out of the wall (and making it) or just sitting there trying to swing through it. Showing up late to the party was the reason it looked like we someone got through the wall. However we breached the wall with catas right before the upgrade.
Ill see if we got some SSs or fraps of the event.
LOL guys dont be so shallow that was me you saw in the corner and besides that fact that we could probably take the keep from you guys with 3 UPSCALED half naked mesmers…. heres the forum posts explaining.. and check the date its funny because it clearly explains what i was doing.

My post was meant to explain what I knew was going on. It was to answer the accusation of exploiting against the group that was with me. I figured I’d let you guys explain what was happening. I could only speak for those that were with me and what we were doing. You are obviously more than capable of defending yourselves with fraps and previous forum posts.

Oozo it’s a shame you can’t post the video of the open field fight on the island just south of the sentry after those two you got. Not because of who won but because it was the first 5 v 5 fight I have had in gw2 (let alone past 6-7 years of mmos) that legitimately felt like 2 guild 8-mans hitting full speed after searching for each other. 5 minute fight, equal numbers, organized 5mans. Very very few pvpers have that mentality anymore thanks to Warfront designs and EZ button games Since Daoc.
Nice to know they are still out there as I mentioned earlier today.
I’d hug you or buy you a beer if I could. I do miss 8 man frontier combat, hitting reinforcements, etc. A time where men were more manly than Ron Burgandy. At least GW2 is close. I hope that with the February update there will be a larger zone with more space and keeps that stay keeps for longer than a day. EMAIN FOREVER! =D
On another note….
WHY U NO ON DR?!
“There was a [Meow] guardian next to you that popped “Save Yourself!” really early in the fight. One of our necros almost immediately corrupted it and then spread it. It had an absolutely huge impact on that fight.”
I was the nsp guardian you’re talking about. I like the name drop thanks. Now if you could just get on to posting the video you have of yourselves 1v4’ing me, and having trouble killing me by myself earlier in the night. I’m full glass cannon and it took 4 of you. Cause I know you have the video of it it was the hammer guardian that couldn’t do any damage by himself.
Also the necro had less to do with your win all though it was a smart play. The fact that you had us bottle necked at the archway to spiritholme is what helped you win. It is the same way I beat 25 DR pugs with 6 other people a few nights ago.
Having line of sight and people rushing around a corner into a group of players waiting for them while they funnel in like unorganized groups so often do is not very impressive.
That hammer guardian that hardly does any damage, did he have Juggernaut or a Candy Cane? And who builds glass cannon and complains about dying? You would think that the one that builds glass cannon would expect to get stomped. Were you expecting to win in that 4v1 let alone drop anyone?
Also Oozo doesn’t record those at all. His hard drive is pretty small so he doesn’t record useless crap.
Don’t we all love losing SM in the 6-9 AM time slots?
Dam dat AM raid sched!Sorry ;_;
But it was calling us.
- DISCLAIMER***
The following response is meant to be a joke. Not to be taken seriously.
Hehe, seems to call more often when theres hardly anyone online
Don’t we all love losing SM in the 6-9 AM time slots?
Dam dat AM raid sched!
On behalf of the 7 members of PAXA, would like to give credit to true worthy opponents from past couple days. "AD, Btsy (even though two of us are huge steeler fans and hate Baltimore), and a couple of NAME guys. Cheers for the 5 man run-ins. Glad to see skillfull pvpers still exist. Cheers!
The BSty crew is Korean, so I don’t know if they support the Ravens or Ray Lewis in any way, shape or form
Aye we’ve had some good fights (I’m the Sylvari Hammer/GS guard with Juggernaut and Sunrise)
After flipping Bay and Hills earlier tonight, relieving Devona’s Rest of those pesky waypoints that they didn’t really need, ’twas then decreed by one of my commanders that we should, and would, break a tower wall using only ballistae.
AM Raidin like a BOSS, lol
Rob, the point I’m making is that you came on the forums whenever we first started fighting last week for like the first few pages saying how Os let loose the dogs of war and all that. Maybe you don’t think thats tooting your own horn or whatever, but thats what it sounded like to me. If I am incorrect on that, lemme know.
Not trying to troll you, just pointing out the fact that you are not practicing what you preach. If you think that we should only have bragging posts at a few, stop after the first page. Then again, calling you out might seem like trolling to some people, just like sayin ‘We are here, let the kitten party commence’ isn’t bragging.
And maybe with your post about thinking its a bot and not an actual player firing the trebs might finally lay to rest the idea that some of my server thinks we are ridden with spies. Because Morningstar, when he is there commanding, is moving people around/ordering bombardments/etc. So if your spies aren’t informing you of this, they are either bad at their job or don’t exist. (Wrath is there too)

LOL, come on Rob.7264. First thing said on the other forum was “Watch out! Os bring it!” Talk about ego boost post. And saying that X realm is playing for second is just something people tell themselves when what they are doing isnt working. AR is maintaining a stranglehold on their own BL, and pushing out against weak targets in other BLs/EB when they can.
Speaking of Os, how about that BAZ of urs and Meow’s that roams around? That an exp train or what?what exactly you want us to do sit and wait? defend? we spend 1 hour defending and lose 5 other places. we jump across maps to keep up the points. but there is always a ninja somewhere lurking. numbers always helps.
Also to the guys who trebs from SM you must be one bored kid how can you sit there and treb for hours. don’t you get bored. in some occasions bring the wall down and still treb when there is nothing left.
That treb hitting Quintin has been the same treb all week. I think we’ve come to the conclusion that its a bot.
The only thing that makes me think otherwise is that the treb shots aren’t always exactly the same. But who knows. Would have to be only mildly incorrect to make that randomness occur.
Or maybe its Morningstar saying “Fire treb at X location” every few minutes, could be that too =P
LOL, come on Rob.7264. First thing said on the other forum was “Watch out! Os bring it!” Talk about ego boost post.
My quote: Just pick out the ego boost post. Everyone is guilty of them at some point
Please read the entire post.
I know it is asking for much, but would you read half a book, then just guess the ending and tell others of what you’ve guessed as fact?I don’t think those are my words you’ve quoted and I also don’t really care to find out.
Stop taking everything as incentive to have an argument or to bash.
It just seems your “at some point” is around 75% of your posts =P
Hehe, and an uncoordinated zerg just wiped the coordinated zerg outside GreenBriar in NSP

if ur entire server was outside the borderlands, your borderlands might get hit more often
My guard brings LOTS of condition removal, aoe burst, damage absorption, great CC, and area control
My ranger brings decent ranged damage, some good combo fields…thats about it. The pets get rickrolled pretty hard, and the spirits die pretty fast as well. People WILL get on top of my and the lack of condition removal is rough. I thought root was bad for the guard, but its worse for the ranger.
The short bow damage is pretty bad, even with my bleeds ticking at 120. I don’t know, it seems that people manage to escape quite frequently. I’ve found the toughness LB/GS build works pretty well, just wish I could get the SB/Sword/torch or dagger to work.
You assume that full 80s in a guild can’t also be PUGs.
So, I’m wrong to assume that when I see a group of full 80s from the same guild chasing us that they aren’t working together? If you are running around in a guild group without communication then who’s fault is that exactly?
The videos that you post will always be, Premade vs PUG.
As a general rule, I avoid making provably false statements. However, talking out of your kitten seems to come naturally to you.
Feel free to assume all you want. You can also assume that some folks play Wv3 without vent.. it happens. Nothing wrong with that.
I just want through your post history and you tube channel.
I feel comfortable in stating that you have no videos of your premade vs another premade. So you go around PUG stomping. /meh and its clear that we both are versed in talking out of our rears. Nothing wrong with that either, if you take offense, feel fee to ignore my posts.
-K
I’m guessing you watched like 2 or 3 of them and then made an analytical leap of saying thats all he does in his videos, lol. I think the main problem isn’t with us fighting zergs or harassing supply lines or uncoordinated players. Its the group of guild players that we often fight that double spam their dodge rolls, miss easy to make attacks, don’t utilize their class effectively, and don’t focus fire…that is the problem. BTW Kodiak whats your class and guild?
Also @ SoS. If you REALLY want to find us, just ask around in the borderlands. Shouldn’t be too hard to find us when we’re out and about. (Canadian translation: Oout and aboot)
I run in a guild that does strictly small group combat. Taking supply camps, harassing zerg flanks, reinforcement avenues, ambushes at avenues of approach, etc.
Here are some things I think would make small group combat in wvw much better.
1) Once a player is stomped there is no window of time where others can revive them. 30 second forced respawn after you are stomped would be nice. Small groups that dominate larger groups are punished because they are able to res stomped players.
2) I’d really like to see a new type of siege weapon, and that would be land mines. In a situation where we are harassing enemy reinforcement lines it would be nice to have some siege that not only causes chaos within their lines, but is more along the lines of a small mobile group. Sometimes to provide enough support we have to build a ballista, which broadcasts where we are setting up shop. We have used that ballista to sometimes draw people to it, then kill them.
What I suggest is a trap style weapon that detonates when someone steps on them, with 3 pulses. Does damage and a quick knockdown, or damage and a bleed, something like that.
Zerg surfing is fun, small group fights are really fun. Lemme know what you guys think =D
Ok, so you’re saying that as long as u can stay outta sight, utilize the regen, then its equal to other heals. I actually stopped using Signet of Resolve due to it requiring stability otherwise its interrupted. Alright, thanks for the break down.
I still think its really strong due to the stealth, but the other mechanics bring it in line with other bigger number heals. Thanks for the info Imperatora =D
(See? Not a flame QQ Nerf post)
Figured one of u guys might know, since…ya know you’re thieves and all =P
Not saying nerf, was wondering why HiS has so much more to it than every other heal in the game.
Thief HiS also grants an up front heal, from a strictly healing perspective curing all conditions that do damage (poison as well giving it full heal) multiplies the effectiveness of that heal. Most attacks that hit stealth targets are swipe attacks (GS/Hammer/Sword) and that requires the thief to not move or dodge while in stealth.
Again, this comes down to a mechanic issue, even though I think that the things HiS gives is way more effective than any other heal in the game. 4 > 2.
Just a quick balance question on thieves heal. Every other class in the game has two mechanics per heal, sometimes 3 (if it is a combo field) and thief heal has 4. I was just wondering the reasoning to this considering the effective heal when considering things like ranged attacks no longer flying at the thief and hitting the ground, pets resetting, single target attacks missing, etc.
Prepare yourselves.
Winter is coming.
Anyway, going to sleep for the night shift.DR, prepare yourselves.
Bird Song is coming.
Os? I remember these guys! You guys were the ones beating the crap outta my Sunrise with your faces! Hehe
Ya know, if u people are spending 100G+ trying the forge…maybe you should have just saved it and bought it. Or make the weapons people use in the forge and sell those. There are a ton of ways to make money, u just gotta find them.
On a side note…if u can’t 1v2+ as a thief you…nah nm u guys get the picture
