Guild Wars 2

This system would work perfectly if the T1 servers weren’t so stacked with bandwagon players, because there’s really no other servers they can face except maybe the winner of T2. Wherever you go, unless it’s JQ / BG / SoR, you will ruin the fun for everyone around you including yourselves and your server.

I’m slightly amused by this.

I think they would be great at WvW.

I mean all they do is stand in circles.

and anet thinks is fun to do match ups like this we a t8 server have 10 ppl online BP have a zerg of 20+ in every bl where is the fun anet?. Or maybe they want us all to transfer to a t1 server to make them even strong :P and forget all the other servers.Because we have great ppl in hod and great players it just we dont have numbers and that breaks the spirit and we get less numbers and more transfers wich kills a server even more.

Oh lord PLEASE stop complaining. Until you play a server that’s supposed to be 2 tiers above you for 13 weeks straight, you have no right to complain about one lousy week of getting trampled.

Both DR and HoD have done that, and did it way before BP, against servers that were even more severely mismatched in terms of tiers.

Also, I think you mistake having a solid presence in each map and holding 150+ PPT during 90% of the time (EB/BP/AR) and being completely shut down with less than 100 PPT during 90% of the day (BP/DR/HoD).

Cheers Guy from [Finn] for partying me to insult me after I beat you in a 1v1 and let you res, only for you to insult me and proceed to attack me whilst I didn’t respond until I downed in the water, where you failed to actually kill me. I understand you’re angry about the ranger BM apothecary build, sadly I’m not…even running it, so congrats for insulting me over my cheap build which I don’t actually use.

Ranger BM Settler’s build?

:)

If anyone is up for some 2v2’s, 3v3’s or 4v4’s PM me whenever I am online and I’ll see if I can set something up depending on how many people are online in my guild.

I prefer playing at least a few rounds that allow us to improve rather than the typical “gg noobs no re” but I’d be up for anything at this point.

Cheers!

If anyone wants to do some 1v1’s or 2v2’s PM me in-game!

:)

Thanks for the GVG’s DR but our second guardian only had an hour to play and he wanted to go kill some people.

Cya around!

If anyone wants to duel / practice I will be below South Camp in ARBL.

Just leveled my thief to 80 and want to try some stuff out.

Cheers!

Or maybe Darkhaven. Apparently they think they can compete with EB lol.

So…

• You know using Barrage will basically kill you if you fire it into a zerg.
• You still use Barrage, and promptly dies.

Sorry but I think this is working exactly as intended. Bad players die good players prevail.

Because facerubbing a gate, instagibbing people that AoE you due to Retal is the pinacle of skill. Amiright?

I never claimed it was the pinnacle of skill. But it sure as hell shows a lot more skill than AoE’ing that zerg even though you have died because of it thousands of times already.

Yeah, why would we need to have reasonable anti-zerg skills, or the ability to get those 8 Guardians/Eles off the rams at the gate?

We should just Melee in the Lord’s room like the pros do it.

This is not a thread to get retal nerfed is it? I know you want to whine and complain but please do so in the appropriate thread.

The OP asked how he should deal with retaliation. The solution is simple.

Don’t AoE.

Well, what the hell. I have 4 accounts. I’m going to put one on Vabbi or FoW.

From what I understand Vabbi is in the worst place right now?

Was it Whalekitten that I was jumping on outside Bluelake?

Seeing your entire zerg wipe because of it was some of the funniest stuff I have seen in my life.

Banzie.5248:

I saw [NoQQ] Last night in FC BL roaming, didnt end to well for me regardless to say :P

DR why must we start the name calling and poo flinging so early in our match up? At least DH and SF were respectful towards us. You all just act childish cause we night cap you. I guess ill need to repeat myself. It has happened to every server we’ve ever faced, not just you. and if you dont care about points so much, why must you complain about us night capping, and “Zerging”, our “Zergs” are still smaller then DHs ever were.

you thought DH zergs were big…… OMFG GoM/NSP 3 way in SM had everyone spamming 234567890 and hopeing 1 would go off. Never had i ever had skill lag against DR/IoJ or ioj/sf. Gates of Zerging or Zerging Shiver Peaks.

Pro tip since IoJ did night cap us at times but we tend to slow them down by trying to only hold what we could with what numbers we had. say thing like IOJ INC SM +30 4golems at SE outer will help get a few there to slow them down as others come.

Hate to say it but i hope DR has to face us next week

Why DR? Everyone knows you have the numbers and coverage to beat them.

I myself would like to see you go up against EB, SoS or maybe BP. I think a lot of people on your server would realize by then you are not much more than another zergling server without much going for you but numbers.

Mos currently shows that Gunnar’s Hold and Arborstone are GAINING dozens of rating points by losing badly on points in these matches.

So they really don’t need to worry too much.

so having fun in a reasonably balanced match does not get a look in then? Its all about the ratings?……

Thx Cameirus^^

Isaac

So you are willing to get runned over time after time, never be able to fightback as long as youget rating???

I prefer a good match on ecual terms over that^^
And atm GH are biting away and clawing a stand^^

Prime time balance is very different from off hours balance. And still off hours is what often causes “blow outs”. Just because server A is dominating for 18-20 hours of the day doesn’t mean that server C & B won’t have a good time during the 4-6 hours where most people play.

x per fection x.2096:

Everything was easily doable by yourself with 7 hero’s. I’m pretty sure DOA was almost solo’d by one guy, he did everything but one boss (on hardmode). I know Fow was solo’d. Not sure about underworld but I know there was 2 man speed runs towards the end of it.

So? Less than 10 people (afaik only 4) ever managed to complete a duo UW run. The amount of thought, dedication and sheer hard work that was required for it was crazy.

Solo DoA? Same thing for that. Spending hours trying to kill the same boss by interrupting the same 1/4 second cast time skill multiple times in a row.

Solo FoW was admittedly a bit easier but it would still take an extremely potent player with extensive knowledge of the area and probably 100’s of hours played in it to do it.

THAT’S what you will never see in this game. No amount of dedication, work, thought process, intelligence, creativity or team work comes close to comparing.

Nothing.

Quick Mouse.7635:

All dungeons were hard the first time you do them. I remember when we did AC (before the buff) back at release and it took us over an hour for the first path lol. But like most things once you learn how to run it/what skills to bring, it becomes a lot easier.
Sure gw1 dungeons were hard at the beginning, then everyone figured out how to solo run them on a permasin or 600 monk. I’m sure it’s like that with most games

Go run UW solo on a 600 monk or permasin, I would love to see that. It took people a week or so to figure out how to run that AC path 1 in less than 10 minutes.

Do you know how long it took to work UW down from 15 minutes to 14 minutes?
From 16 minutes to 15 minutes after the nerf?

Lower times are still possible in UW. You know why they haven’t been achieved? Because the players are not good enough. Give me one example of a dungeon in GW2 where your efficiency is limited by human skill and not some boring cinematic or massive health bars.

EFWinters.5421:

There won’t be blowouts, coverage will still be the real winner, and server ratings will move much closer to each other.

This is my prediction.

Well, I’m on Rof and we’re ticking +665 against Vabbi and Fow… So yeah.

Anet really needs to help those servers out somehow. Funnel them free transfers, combine servers, just something.

Of course any server would do this to those 2, I still like making people’s predictions wrong

The situation has been the same for those two servers previously. You are not really proving my predictions wrong.

There won’t be blowouts, coverage will still be the real winner, and server ratings will move much closer to each other.

This is my prediction.

Wehey!

Lucky Shot.7650:

Are you talking the reward chest you get for each wvw level?

Because I had 6 and I found only BoH and some silver, not even a green. I was starting to wonder if they dropped something besides silvers an BoHs.

Of course you don’t get items from the low WvW levels. If that was the case people would just make alts and farm the first few 1k WXP levels.

Tetra Bug.7134:

If you join Borlis your enemies will one day be able to look at you and say, “Oh hey, free loot”

So it’s kind of like being in your guild then?

Casuals are the life blood of WvW.
Zerging is for casuals
Arena Net doesn’t want to hurt WvW.
Arena Net will promote zerging.

My 9-year-old brother could figure this stuff out.

Kardiamond.6952:

@EFWinters

Actually the grub thing isn’t an insult. It’s more an insult to us.

I starting roaming at ogre since last week, and many time we would find Ebay killing the grub.

Ask you EB team, I don’t know why. But prolly because you guys are bored, and you can still kill the grub and hold our forces.

I might log on earlier, will see.

If I don’t make it just PM J Zawinul / J J Zawinul / Jay Zawinul, he’s a sucker for duels (and jazz), and he’s trying to learn mesmer. I’m sure you would have a great time and learn a lot.

Kardiamond.6952:

I think I remember your group.

Nice!

I think I posted multiple time by now that EB WvW skills are really good.

You talked about EB fighting the Grub tonight, as in you can anticipate that we would, as in we do it frequently. Saying that is commonly used as an insult towards people who don’t know much about WvW since it ties up resources for no gain.

Kardiamond.6952:

The first time we encountered your group, I downed pretty fast your ranger(I think?) then you guys all focused me and took me down. Dovgan was left alone 4vs1. His girlfriend wasn’t there half of the time.

We can scour our memory in an attempt to explain exactly how that fight went down, but truth be told I don’t think anyone of us would be very accurate. I don’t remember the fight going down that way. There were definitely three of you, so we might be talking about different fights entirely.

Kardiamond.6952:

But I want you to prove me you can 2vs3 me

I never said that. I said you would struggle 2vs3 (in a way that we didn’t struggle 4vs3).

Kardiamond.6952:

Tonight for me should be between 8pm and midnight, East time UTC -05:00.

Probably too late, sorry.

the same trolling each week from Ebay.

Now that we lost a part of our force, you can pat yourself even more.

If you want some action in the evening, come at ogre in Eternal. I will roam there with a friend, hunting you guys while you are killing the grub.

I think I fought you and two guys from KAOS last Friday. I’m not gonna say you are bad but you are definitely not good enough to talk like this.

I never said I was good, tho I rarely lose 1on1 in WvW, especially this friday I didnt.

Would it be wrong If I said you outnumbered us when we died? Because I don’t remember having an even fight that friday, especially since it was the first time running with KAOS, and one of the two KAOS was dovgan gf, which I think isn’t really used to pvp.

Anyway, if you want to test me, whisper me in game, I started to like dueling, we could set something up if you want

Tho no BM Ranger, I don’t fight those guy.

Or Just come at ogre in Eternal tonight, I will be with my usual roamer friend who luckily got back his account. (thanks Anet!)

It was a 4v3. I guess I just expected more from you guys after hearing Dovgan talk so big. I figured a 4v3 should have been a breeze for you, but I could tell from the way you played you wouldn’t have beat us 3v3 and you would have struggled in a 2v3.

Btw, one guy in our group is from GH which I think you likened with uplevels in the last forum thread. Anyway, not trying to insult you or anything, I just reacted when you basically called EB bad at WvW when you are still not that good yourself. I don’t know what “tonight” means to you but I’m most likely not going to be on that late.

Cheers and cya in-game!

Aeolus.3615:

isnt retalition based on power of the target, ~370 damage on it is what ~3200 on power?

I doubt it’s even possible to have 3200 power.

For Borderlands, 370 damage is about 2,3k power.

“Kronos Outnumbered Roaming Video”

• Wins a 2v2
• Caps a camp
• Calls some random ranger a f****ng p****y for running from a 1v2 (thief and a D/D ele).
• Caps another camp

That’s how far I made it before I quit. Really nothing special to see here, sorry.

echo.2053:

^^^ he beat me too it.

as for the 180 he may not have been traited for condition which is the driving force behind confusion

Not true, it’s based on power.

if you read what your quoteing then you notice hes talking about confusion when he says the culculation is based on condition damage and thats true

but its also true that retaliation is based on power

Oh, when OP mentioned 180 he was definitely talking about retaliation, that’s why I misunderstood that.

echo.2053:

^^^ he beat me too it.

Not true, it’s based on power.

Retaliation damage isn’t static, so remembering getting hit for 180 means nothing. 375 is easily achievable after the patch.

Oh and yeah it was nerfed. By 33% I believe.

• Flatten the BL map
• Remove the lake
• Reduce the size of Citadels by 90%
• Relocate Citadels to the top north part of the map
• Turn Hills and Bay into towers (reduce size to the size of inner)
• Put two new towers at NW and NE corner of the map
• Move invader spawns slightly to in between SW Camp / Bay and SE Camp / Hills
• Remove all PvE events

EDIT: Just to show how much potential map space is going to waste at the moment.
