I hope CD and SoS are taking this week to learn from TC so they can improve, not just sitting back and letting the score run out.

No thanks.

The other night we ran across a 15 or so TC group near the north camp but we only had 5 people in our group so we moved south a bit towards the skritt caves. Instead of chasing us, they took the high route so now they are overlooking us from the top of the cliff. Our mesmer pulls down their commander and all but two of them follow him like lemmings to his death.

That was hands down the best thing I’ve seen in months.

wait..was this at the woodhaven tower? I was nearby that location yesterday on my thief and saw literally at least 10 TC running off the cliff to their deaths..I didn’t understand what I was seeing

Nope, haha. But I guess it happens often? This happened north of Sunnyhill….

Logitech G600 Mouse.

Problem solved. I have every ability and F key skill bound to that mouse. It’s amazing and I don’t even have to think about where the button is. You get used to the mouse pretty quickly.

profgast.7816:

Thaaat said… if you guys really want to get more even number fights you should stop trying to withdraw, stealth, and then dogpile on overextending stragglers whenever people finally gather enough random people together to push. I mean sure it’s a completely valid strategy which works and all, but it’s not exactly the sign of wanting even fights ;-)

Just straight up jumping into a fight without tactics isn’t really the best plan. We have our methods of fighting larger groups. Really the only reason you might see us re-position ourselves is if we know there’s an enemy zerg in a certain area and we don’t want to engage an even group knowing that we’re gonna get pinched. Meanwhile, while moving, we have our thieves assassinate some of your group members and then proceed to reengage from a new direction.

Join your fellow players on voice comm and try to get a group running together. It makes it so much easier…

See ya on the battlefield!

Good bug fix.

It’s sad to see people defending an ability that had no limit to how far it can teleport you (other than the time limit).

Nah, I think it’s a good balance at the moment. I used to use this constantly and it was a bit too easy to just escape. Now I really need to think about how and when to use it.

Keep it the way it is.

ensoriki.5789:

EvilSardine.9635:

Yep. They need to increase the amount of initiative this uses.

No.

Nice signature.

Yep. They need to increase the amount of initiative this uses. Right now the most effective way for a thief to fight is sword 2 in, spam 3, sword 2 out. Rinse and repeat until thief wins. Number 3 can actually do massive damage with certain setups and it’s an evade as well. Also, why is this skill unblockable? As a warrior my elite is important to me and a thief can swipe it all away and I can’t do a single thing about it. Not even shield stance helps.

Changes for the better:
-Higher initiative cost
-Steals only 1 boon
-Blockable

I find it hard to not spam this when I use my thief because it’s so effective. There’s really barely a need to use any other attacks.

With this trait selected, fan of fire applies less stacks of burning. It only applies 1 instead of 3 and you can see the tool tip switch whenever you swap this trait.

Anyone know the names of [RES] guild leaders? It’s an SoS guild. Need to let them know there’s a cheater in their guild that I hope they can deal with.

Reikou.7068:

Lol. You should watch a little bit more then.

You got destroyed in a legit 1v1 duel and rage quit like a 12 year old and caught it on video. It’s obvious how frustrated you are. It’s just a game. Take a break and just “breath” rather than logging out when downed. You do know that he still gets the kill and loot right?

http://www.twitch.tv/ailesdelumiere/b/404214420 @ 13:05

Pretty much the entire CD side that plays during your times refers to you as “Ragequit Reikou” since you apparently do it so often.

JakobGW.5730:

Ya’ll remember this guy from the last thread?

Reikou.7068:

Just thought I’d add some extra content to the thread.

A pretty typical SBI vs CD battle.
http://www.twitch.tv/ailesdelumiere/c/2286241

You can see more of this on my stream!

Because of his mouth, I decided to find him a couple of days ago to show him a real CD fight. He runs a gimmicky build and gets a good majority of his kills from complete surprise, whether his victim is running solo or attempting to take a camp. To his credit, he was able to catch me with his burst just one time but has failed to do so since.

My friends and I got a good laugh when I went toe to toe with him and he rage quit just before I could spike him, which is recorded at 13:04 at:

http://www.twitch.tv/ailesdelumiere/b/404214420

I gave him a dose of his own medicine today and then he called me a terrible name! I felt so bad, really I did. He was attempting to troll an open field fight between SOS and CD, as he usually does, and I decided to show him how trolling is properly done . . . to him. Anyways, you can hear what name he called me at 2:46 at

http://www.twitch.tv/ailesdelumiere/b/405058847

I was only trying to show him how to properly do what he was attempting to do himself. You can see him try to do the same thing to me at 2:22 while I was finishing an SOS player. Of course, he failed as usual.

He logged about 16 minutes after.

Hahaha! Nice job. He seems really angry…

not really impressive, it’s just cherry picked footage that’s labeled with a false title (sorry, that’s not a 1v3)

anyways so while I was looking around, I happened across this video:
http://www.twitch.tv/ailesdelumiere/b/404214420. I skipped to random parts (not watching the whole thing, sorry) in an attempt to gather a better picture of what a “typical battle” with CD looks like, and I came across the moment 14:00 where you rage quit (logged out and back in, LOL) after getting downed in a 1vs1 fight vs a CD opponent.

I didn’t realize people still rage quit in fights they lost, do you do that often?

So, Reikou rage quits during downed state when he loses a fair duel? LOL!

Ben K.6238:

JakobGW.5730:

Points are kitten. We are looking for good fights, period. We are [FEAR] and [TKVA] and love a good skirmish. See you on the battlefield.

Think I’ve seen that group from time to time. Pretty much the only CD squad I’ve come across so far that fights and wins with inferior numbers… in fact the only one on any server in this matchup.

Awesome! Glad you noticed us. If you have a party and ever want to hunt us down just PM Jakob. We like smaller fights but will definitely take on larger groups if possible.

swinsk.6410:

Can we get fields that remove invuln/block/protection/etc?

I see this as only fair.

Hahahahah. Are you trolling? Just spam number 3 with sword like most thieves do now and STEAL all the boons from the target. This needs a nerf in my opinion. It really needs to cost more initiative and steal only one boon.

I think he wants safety railings added to all puzzles. Kind of like what baby cribs have.

Turn off double tap to evade. If you have this turned on, then you’re doing it wrong. You should never have this option turned on.

Definitely needs to be fixed. It’s pretty broken underwater.

Yep. My guildies and I have been experiencing this constantly lately. It happens to me about 50% of the time that I jump off a cliff.

You jump off, take no damage, take a step forward and then magically appear falling again and you take damage again. I’ve even had it happen 3 times almost to the point of death.

This recently started happening so it’s something with one of the latest patches.

Aye.8392:

If someone says they don’t want duel this is oftentimes what happens next — they are ridiculed, accused of “crying tears”, told how they think the game is srs bsns… Put someone on ignore and they’ll move to /say or /map. It’s constant, it’s annoying, and I don’t want OPEN WORLD dueling to ever exist in the game.

I don’t care what is done in the mists.

Wrong. Dueling already exists but has to be done in a PvP match. People still ask each other to go there to duel all the time. I don’t see the “trash talk” you speak of because someone turned it down. Also, if your feelings are hurt because of some random person in a video game is calling you names, then report them since it’s against the rules. It’s simple.

People want to be able to duel using WvW/PvE specs, though. Not the dumbed down PvP builds.

Dueling needs to be implemented. There is honestly ZERO reason for not having it.

Anet can implement an option for ignoring duel requests for those who are afraid of dueling. It’s that simple.

I don’t understand why there would need to be “designated” areas for dueling either. To keep clutter out of cities? Please. People sit there and costume brawl all the time and spam meteor showers 24/7 anyways.

Sure, including custom arenas might make dueling easier but PvP armor/build stats are boring to me and silly. I would prefer to use my WvW build.

There’s zero reason for not including dueling in this game. For people who are afraid to duel, just tick an option in the control panel that doesn’t allow for duel requests.

apt.9184:

Guys try stun build I am not going to tell u guys the build cause I don’t want everyone running it but its really nice spec. I can beat top eles and guards with it and if I can pull of stuns right I can beat mesmers before they even do kitten. But it takes a lot of practice. I have been playing it for 2 months or so and still have not mastered but once I do this kitten people. Necros are only pain in kitten because they can corrupt boon cause I run all lysaa. But still I make sure to run signet of stamina just for that.

lol. Every serious PvPer runs stability. Stuns would only work against bad players.

Anamelia Ladyhawk.3689:

SBI… please play nicely and keep your [PREP] bot team off the field. I enjoy a challenging fight not a bag farm :p

Everyone needs to submit a support ticket to report these bots. They will never be banned just for reporting them as botting since the guy is actually multi boxing them from the looks of it. They all use the names “warldwide, welrdwide, wyrldwide” etc. Add them to your block list and right click report for botting and then also submit a support ticket.

zaxon.6819:

me playing gw2 because it is free somehow makes your opinion better then mine? i have been posting about this bugg since day 1 and trying to get it fixxed and i do not like the way anet is handling the whole process on any of thier buggs. “community trolls” “dubious motives” “only interested in interrupting / disturbing the process” “stumble into” “spread false information” “hijack”

if you cant have a point atlest you can flavor your commentary with loaded words to try to paint me in a bad light.

if you enjoy the game get off the forum and go play it. im here trying to get buggs fixxed in the spec i enjoy playing. i do not enjoy the game as much as i did before they screwed things up over and over. if i did i would not be here i would be in game. if you have an issue with that screw off and do your own thing. if you want to make this about me and you we can go back and forth all day. but that imo would be hijacking the post and you dont like that. so leave it on topic and cut drama.
thanks.

Enough already. Just stop.

zaxon.6819:

his point was made with custom numbers. i understood his point. but if the numbers in a chart are not real they could be changed to support any point.

i would rather have.

2000
2000
miss
2000

then have

1500
1500
1500
1500

the first example has a potential for more damage.
both examples are bs because we just made up numbers to fit our point. like i said.

Please stop missing the point and please stop derailing this thread. I don’t want to start reporting posts to the mods.

I’m not sure if it’ a good idea to have an on crit proc sigil of fire when your crit chance is at most 24% with fury up. So that’s 30% chance out of a 24% chance to cause a flame blast.

Try using another sigil of energy so as you swap between weapons you get to dodge more or use sigil of force for a bit more damage.

I’m seriously annoyed that a Mesmer can put 10 stacks of confusion on my warrior then when I dodge to avoid some other damage I deal thousands of damage to myself just because of my trait “reckless dodging.” Or even if I use Shield Stance to block some more attacks. :\

ArtemisEntreri.4138:

Good show!

Full PVT?

I think you are something like this but with a greatsword…

http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/warrior/?8.0|7.1c.0.e.1c.0|2.1c.0|1c.7x.1c.7x.1c.7x.1c.7x.1c.7x.1c.7x|2u.0.2u.0.3u.0.2u.0.3u.0.2u.0|0.a4.u2a9.u18c.0|3t.1|5x.69.6b.6a.6m|e

Effective power on that build shows up too high because of “50% critical-hit chance against stunned foes” and “Merciless hammer.” Really, opponents are only stunned during shield bash or hammer F1 burst. So if you want a better idea of the effective power, switch those traits off. It plummets to 2400.

Same thing goes with Turtles Defense. That website tacks it on automatically as if you’re always crippled, chilled, etc.

I used to use an all PVT tanky build but it was useless in duels so I dropped it for way more power.

A warrior built around killshot is so useless in 1v1’s it’s comedy.

We were dueling and there was this warrior who is obsessed with killshot and kept dueling my warrior. We fought like 5 times and it wouldn’t even be a close fight. He would knock me down and frenzy+killshot and I would just endure pain and it’s all wasted. He would die right after.

He then gave up when I put up shield stance (with reflect trait) and reflected it back at him.

That actually didn’t explain anything. It just tells me you have to upgrade the account and not how to do it. :\

My friend just bought the game. She has an account she’s used for the free weekends. How does she apply the full key to her account so she can keep her current character?

Many thanks in advance!

Yep! Both females too. I just made them have completely different armor and I love them both.

Moderator.9604:

If you added an attachement, make sure that that the picture size is lower than 800 pixels in width. Does it work if you try that?

Thanks for the reply. Nope, I even tried sending it with zero attachments or links. A text only email didn’t go through and gave me the same error.

This [EA] guild guy is still speed cheating and has been doing so for months and hasn’t been banned. It’s annoying.

Luvpie.8350:

sounds like it doesn’t like attachments. if you got the account name put it in. incident date etc.

Nope! I guess that email just doesn’t work at all. Cheaters win.

Luvpie.8350:

exploits@arena.net my bad.

Still fails. It bounces back with: "Your message wasn’t delivered because of security policies. Microsoft Exchange will not try to redeliver this message for you. "

Luvpie.8350:

send it to exploits@anet.com and friend him in game and provide his account number to others so they report him in game too.

Sending an email to that address fails to send. :\

falavorn.9105:

We’ll keep our eyes out for you for a balanced fight some time [FEAR]. We generally run about the same size in [ToP] but our one commander will lead the militia when needed, and we as was pointed out have been leveling alts this week. I’m happy to take your badges any time you want to come out to play ;-)

[FEAR] + [TKVA] are the ones that are usually running together. Most of the time just a group of 5-7 searching for smaller fights. Looking forward to coming across you guys again! :]

Hold on. You want to make it easier for a zerg to wash over smaller forces by limited line of warding, static field, etc.?

I see.

Not sure what the SBI zerg at long view was doing but they were wiped by a smaller group of CD after they kept doing weird stacking maneuvers. Then went into the skrit camp where they tried to funnel us and we pinched them from both sides.

Fun stuff.

Confusion damage is completely overpowered right now in WvW and no one can argue against that. There’s a reason why confusion does 50% less damage in PvP and it’s to BALANCE things.

Confusion damage needs to be dropped by 50% so it’s balanced like PvP. The end.

Mesmers and Ele’s are obviously the strongest class. They’re usually at the reigning champs of the duels that are done in WvW at the south camps.

Hopefully confusion damaged is balanced like it is in PvP. Hopefully….

Siphaed.9235:

If this ever happens on my server’s match up, I’m going to find my way over, and mist-form STOMP any and all participants.

Nah, you won’t. The person would get revived immediately and you would be instantly murdered by everyone else.

Go take a breather. This is just a game. There’s no need to be so upset about it.

I actually prefer it the way it is. It would be silly to have the ability to switch on the fly.

However, it would be amazing if I could save builds and swap between them at the trainers.

60-70 person fight inside of a keep yesterday and had no lag here…

Only time there’s lag is if every person there bunched up into a circle (ex: center of stonemist castle).

That 3 way fight at Hills on the SoS borderlands was pretty epic last night (at around 1-2am EST).

Trying to defend against both SBI and SoS was difficult. All 3 servers fighting each other on the outer wall was so funny.

There needs to be a cool down on revive from death.

There was a warrior who was using a teleporting/speed cheat and we couldn’t report him for cheating. To run away from my group he would teleport forward every 10 feet super rapidly. Just imagine a thief using infiltrators arrow super fast indefinitely while still being able to attack. That’s what it was.

I’d imagine if Anet added in a report cheater option, then maybe they can check the logs (if they track this) and see the player is moving around like one of the teleporting gathering bots and do something about it.

Also, edit your post to say “cheaters” instead of “hackers.” Calling them hackers is giving them too much credit. They’re kids who downloaded a cheat.

Pinko.2076:

Please say what you think a “confusion” build is. Also how you think a confusion build is getting 5-6k blade flurries.

Is that a new flurry flavor at McDonalds?

zastari.1730:

Oh now I see why CD runs from 1v1s, they lose 1v3s when they actually fight

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGOHvM4GIJ0

Your attitude is sad and so is the fact that you posted that terrible video.

Any DURP guild leaders here? Does this Zastari guy represent how you guys handle yourselves as a guild or what?

(I have to spell it as “Durp” because the proper way is censored by the forum for some reason)

I would be happy with just having enemies have their guild tag above their head in the color of their server. That would be the best.
