Guild Wars 2

So, what about this giant run on statement makes Toxicity Over Powered?

Not disconnects, teams deliberately targeting and DDOSing off team members of other teams.

That is the definition of taking things out of context lol

Please re-title this “Imagine if this game were the same as every other game instead of being unique and interesting.”

I respect you Chaith.

Many classes maintain similar burst damage depending on how they are played.
Realistically the highest single bursts typically come from things such as fresh air eles and Thieves.

I myself main power necro and play it in high tourney play and can say that while I have a high amount of damage at one time I would generally not consider it “burst”. That goes with rangers, warriors, mesmers too. A true burst cannot be mitigated due to extreme speed and precision, it is easy to see the life blasts from a necro, easy to see the shatter coming from mesmer, easy to see the pokes from a ranger, or to dodge the swirls from a med guard, but impossible to get out of the way of the burst from a fresh air ele or skilled thief.

I know you’re talking about the VOD of what has not been streamed and I assure you you are not missing much as there were more 4v4’s 3v4’s 4v5’s 3v5’s then you can count.

Your team did play well without you, but I could tell you were a much missed component.

Hello members of Abjured, the team that won and will be going to China, each and every one of you have noted that the DDOS attacks most likely perpetrated by Rough Boys was inconvenient and stressful but Anet and Grouch did everything correctly and you stand by this.

I would have the EXACT same attitude if my team came out victorious with only one member occasionally disconnecting. How would you feel if for instance in the very first match, just after 90 sec ostrich was dced out the entire game and it was a true 4v5 from the start? Then the next game there were no dc’s and you won, and the third game not one, but TWO of your members were DDOSed out just as you were securing victory.

I understand that I come from the losing perspective and you come from the winning perspective, but what I truly feel would be best for the NA community would be a redo of the WTS Qualifier. Myself and everyone who had team members effected by this issue would make sure to have a different IP address specifically for the redo and it would be a spectacular event on par with the wondrous gameplay that EU brought us.

Even when the VODs come out who wants to watch games with no skill involved, just who has the most members playing? Who wants to see 4v5, 3v5, 4v4 in basically EVERY SINGLE MATCH.

Ostrich, I wish we would have gotten a chance to face your team, that would have been a fantastic match.

Obviously you just went and read the last post, if you don’t think Abjured got DDOS’d ask Ostrich. Also, the game that was 3v4 we were in the lead and Java was DDOSed out, do you really think we would have faked that?

Certainly an eloquent post, I do understand it is not quite possible to provide tangible evidence about those individuals who wish to “Stunt the growth of the competitive scene” but by not acting on the obvious issues that were occurring in the games we had against The Uncivilized Rough Boys further issues can develop.

Reasonable solutions to the the games we had against the team:
Only count the games were there were no DC’s (There was one, I do recall!)
Provide information on DDOS before the start of the game (resetting modem does NOT reset IP)
Redo the tournament so NA actually has something to watch (I know most of it is recorded, but who wants to watch a VOD over a live stream?)

In the end, the tournament was for the enjoyment and betterment of the PvP community in Guild Wars 2 and they were the ones sorely cheated out of some incredible matches, the excitement is gone when it is live no longer. If there were a redo tournament scheduled, all people effected previously would go to GREAT measure to secure themselves against the threat of DDOS attack and provide the views and Guild Wars 2 community with something much better to watch then 5v4 4v3 5v3 4v4 etc.

Hello, this is Over Powered Necro from In Memory of Vyndetta, what happened after the stream was crazy stressful.

Two individuals in our team, Java and Young Thadeus were DDOSed, not to be confused with the typical “dc”, as described by them, “People start cutting out on Team speak, everyone starts walking in place and I am disconnected from the game as well as all other internet services”.

Oddly enough, this only occurred when facing The Uncivilized Rough Boys and only when we were wining. If you do not believe me, you can get a glimpse at the games that were streamed, just after 90 sec into the first game Thadeus was ddosed for the duration of the game, after that game was over he was promptly able to return but it was already forfeit. The third game, when it was evident that we were going to win, both Java and Thadeus were heavily ddosed. These occurrences turned from “random coincidence” into a nightmare as it occurred over, and over, and over only when facing rough boys.

As to how this was able to take place, Crysis and I were completely unaffected, so, the IP of skovex, thadeus, and java, were most likely made available through skype or TS that they had accessed recently.

Why only a few of us were getting ddosed: Skovex’s power had gone out the day before and he was in a different residence so his IP was changed. The second time we were able to face Rough Boys (after climbing back through the loser’s bracket) we had thadeus connect to the internet at a friend’s house. The only problem was that Java was unable to change his IP or go to utilize the internet in a different location, this caused us to still be 4v5 and ultimately lose.

To YOU rough boys, it was plainly obvious that you were the cause of the DDOS, you lost my respect and the respect of many other players, YOU effectively destroyed the tournament for many of the people watching and disgraced Arenanet in the area of potential E-Sports.

The only solution I could see is to redo the entire tournament and give everyone ample time to play at their friends house or buy a new modem.

I am the necromancer I am Really Op from team radioactive [dk] (formally Brave New World [new]) rank 80 top 20 tpvp leaderboard.

This change has great potential when it comes to a more tanky fearmancer type necromancer. I really wanted to address the original post in that I find myself dying often, very often with full ds, and it’s not because I’m bad at utilizing my ds, it is the colddown that it has.

I would love the option to have full deathshroud, pop in to get ds, hit the 5 skill, and then the fear into the immob, drop a well then wait till kill blow and be thrown back into the ds without having to wait 10 sec. I feel it can combo nicely with a variety of burst rotations.

Not to mention that settlers w/ the heal on ds Terror build would be very interesting.

This is I am Really OP from team Radioactive (formally brave new world).

Just wanted to say, we’ve faced Sharks With Lazers on several occasions and they have proven to be a top tier team, if anyone is looking to get into high level play this is a great opportunity.
