Guild Wars 2

These threads are awful. Thank god they’re shutting them down so everyone can just play the kitten game.

Shonex.5327:

I don’t get why you hate them so much, you’re taking this game way too serious

If everyone doesn’t hate eachother, what reason do we have to play?!?!?

HeWaGER.4926:

An hacking Elementalist (swimming under the ground) is farming the dolly from Foghaven to Shadaran Hills on Riverside BL atm. We don’t know if he is from Aurora or Gandara.

Just want to chime in to say that this isn’t hacking. It’s a relatively common bug in many maps where you fall through the world when using a skill that teleports you. It has happened to me a handful of times around the ruins.

SleepingDragon.1596:

We should not get a mini dolyak.

Speak for yourself!!! It’s the only mini I’ve wanted for WvW since the game launched. But yes, superior siege and badges would have been nice.

Viking Jorun.5413:

Guys, stop asking for them to remove bleeds to improve your burst set. Condition sets use DB as their only source of bleeds with pistol as a secondary set. Hopefully the devs aren’t as close-minded as you.

It’s just so strange to have Death Blossom on a set that seems to be designed for melee single-target damage. The best option would probably be to give thieves access to another weapon that takes the role of melee condition damage (torch? off-hand sword?) then change the functionality of Death Blossom into something more useful for direct damage.

Something along the lines of Trampling Ox (suggested above) would be an amazing skill to have as a D/D thief.

Kenmei.7138:

And again this whole thread is like a Wailing Wall :/

May as well stop checking this thread. It’s not going to get any better.

Great double team effort on our keep in EB right now- AM blocking off the spawn while AG is attacking the keep. 40++ AM, full AG blob. neither side attacking anything else anywhere on the whole EB. Don’t bother trying to deny it, lots of screenies taken.

Clear sign that they have agreed to gang up on us- so sad that you have to resort to this rather than try and beat us on your own?

You just lost what little respect I had for AG ankitten ow we know exactly what your servers are made of.

Enjoy your alliance, let’s hope Gandara guilds rise to the challenge and pop some points during prime time to offset this onslaught by both servers.

Double team? Thats not double team, thats taking advantages, you guys do the same, AM does the same, when we have wooden tier towers, you only bash on us, so does AM, when AM is ticking too high, both of us bash on AM, maybe abit kitteny cause AG stays away from GD towers alot? and today we actually attack. =/

This. Today we reseted Hills and Bay together with AM on Ag bl today. Cause T3 bay/hill is a no no in prime time. We saw Am go for bay and we went hills, then switched, then switched again. No real ganking (except a bit for weekend on EB, u mad?)

No, it wasn’t anything like the same.

Let’s spell it out very clearly. AM camped the EB spawn for over an hour while AG attempted to take the keep directly behind them.

They made no attempt to attack the south gate.

Their only purpose for being there was to prevent Gandara from reinforcing the keep defenders.

They didn’t even try to cap anything else for that hour, only after it was obvious that the keep attack was failing did a small team try and take something of AG’s.

The excuses spouted here for this action are hilarous.

The funniest thing was that 1. you totally failed and 2. you probably caused your server to come third in the match up when you could have capped half the map while AG were busy at our keep.

Try it again tomorrow, we can laugh at you some more:-)

Seriously man? We’re in the lead so it’s only natural that the other two servers would try and focus.

Also, who cares? You’re only making yourself look whiny by posting all of this.

Why are you even doing it if you don’t enjoy it? I don’t understand the reasoning behind this.

Well this thread is derailing quickly. Can you have your kitten ing contest somewhere else?

Are there any updates from guilds that have gotten in yet? Would like to see how new destructible objects work. As far as I recall, they only talked about bridges. Are there more?

Part of the problem is also that the distance traveled gets increased by IMS buffs. If you have decent access to swiftness or other buffs (50% increase in movement speed while in stealth) the distance traveled is even more ridiculous.

Just took Sunnyhill tower on AG and about 4 of us got bugged into the tower while attacking the gate. Apologies.

Anen.1742:

It is fun to see how last Saturday VZ WvW was almost empty and today we have a couple hours of queue at the exact same period. I guess VZ prefers blobing against low ranked servers and than playing against same size opponents (SFR). Just saying..

I think it’s fair to say that most servers are like this. Gandara had a relatively relaxed matchup last week and we saw queues in places we wouldn’t normally ever see them. It’s the nature of the game, I guess.

Yesterday a few Gandara Guilds had a great time in Cliffside on Riverside Borderland.
Fun times with [LXY] and [Crow] as always. TY for joining the fun [BORD] and all the other Gandarans who were there

TY riverside for your waves of people. :p

To bad we weren’t recording our view off the fight, it would actually be entertaining to watch instead of a guild group on siege. Lucky we were in the neighborhood to keep them pinned or this would never have happened

Ego much?

Next time we will just not be the meat for the grinder and skip along to somewhere else instead, see how it holds up from afar. You even in your video ask for all AoE on BORD, where would the AoE have gone if we hadn’t come? It’s not a matter of ego it’s that you put us next to the category of pug like we are less and it’s frankly insulting.

P.S. Haters all shall hate.

Are you just trying to cause drama or what? The pug hate you’re showing is one of the problems that Gandara has had for a while, but that’s another topic for another day. Why can’t you just enjoy the fact that a group of smaller guilds got together, took a tower and defended it for some fun? Just enjoy the game.

Pavel.5192:

in dev video Hugh said, that they support big 100vs100 battles, maybe he wanted to say: We support Vizu 100vs 50or less of another server

He said that they support large, organized groups fighting, not just mindless WExp trains. You’re twisting his words a bit.

gjop.8612:

I’m getting really dissapointed of how lame and childish some gandara are, so to the necro from The Knights Temple did you really have to do this again the second time after the vet archer rezed me to 90% health?

I would generally just ignore this but it’s constantly happening not from guildless player’s who may not know any better but from guilds that after looking up on google apparently don’t allow this sort of behaviour.

All servers do this. Get over it.

ParaldaWind.4523:

It’s a shame, really. There is no reason to implement this buff other than to specifically kill the GvG community.

Have fun losing 90% of your hardcore players, Anet…

Yep. Absolutely no other reason than to kill the GvG community. No other reason. Uh-huh.

/s

Can we all please stop acting like “our” server is the messiah server that doesn’t blob or take on uneven fights? Every match-up thread is the same thing and it’s getting tiring.

Every server blobs. Every server ganks people in unfair fights. WvW is always going to be unfair in one way or another, so save your breath.

After two days of near constant siege, New Gandara Hills on Jade Sea’s Borderlands has fallen.

You will be remembered fondly.

I’ve been having a blast this matchup. There are zergs from all sides at peak hours, but for the most part there are a lot of fun smaller fights. Much better than most of our other matchups.

Lutto.8745:

I’m starting to understand why XxX left Gandara.. the server just dosent care about wvw anymore.

We are not even close to what we used to be.. We can get some nice fights and defence sometimes but other than that nothing.. even our own borderland is a desert these days except when our guilds roam.

I hope we finish third this matchup so people might wake up.

I’m positive that most of the steady WvW guilds on Gandara really don’t care about points/placement anymore. Why would we want to raise ranks when all it means is we get to fight the German blobs more frequently?

Also, keep in mind that Gandara is a heavy PVE server. The Crown Pavilion and the Ember farm are stupidly lucrative right now and won’t always be there, leading to a population drop.

Do you mean 1v1 dueling or the GW2 version of GvG?

I don’t see much difference between a roamer and someone doing 1v1 duels. If you mean “GvG”, then I can understand how frustrating it can be having anywhere from 10-25 players from your server taking up spots on a queued BL and think there needs to be an alternative set up for this.

sorrow.2364:

I liked the old Flanking Strike, I played that set in the age where D/D backstab and heartseeker spammers were rampant and have a lot of fun with it.

The single boon removal, the dodge and the unforgiving pathing made that skill a real challange giving great results if user properly.
I needed to know where is the right position to cast it to make the skill land, I needed to know when to use it to remove the right boon because I wasn’t able to afford to spam it to remove all the boons.

I think your first little bit there is exactly the reason why S/D needed a buff. You were nerfing yourself if you use S/D anywhere. It’s actually sort of viable now in PVP and WvW.

I also disagree with your second paragraph. The old Flanking Strike was a poorly designed skill that lacked polish. There was too much random chance surrounding it. You shouldn’t have to cross your fingers every time you use a skill and hope that the pathing didn’t send you out of range of a target instead of behind them like the skill states.

Splitting the skill into two attacks was also a move in the right direction. Look at the Ranger and how many of their melee attack animations are locked. It’s horrible. You lose control of your character.

Does the damage need some balancing? Absolutely.

This has been happening on Gandara as well. It occurs in waypoints and also when running around in certain areas. One area that has been a hotzone has been near the center ruins in the south.

Lianna.6980:

It is good to know that Gandara WvW fighters have friends amongst Piken WvW fighters who provide them with enough data about current situation. Interserver communication full of spydata on server squads movement is a key to win WvW battles, right?

Because it’s completely ridiculous for people to have friends on other servers. Take off the tinfoil hat, seriously.

Zardar.7508:

Ok boys and girls i think that in this round Gandara and Augury have a chance to win. Reason???

Gandara won last week’s match against Piken and Augury.

I’m looking forward to these changes, but are we going to be seeing changes made to actual commanders anytime soon?

Squads feels like an afterthought. They have the potential to be a great asset to a server and could also possibly encourage players to fight in more tactical ways (not just zerging everything). Yet, here we are 4 months in and all commanders have access to are unintuitive chat commands and a blue dot on the map.
