dd gets more loot than staff?

Depends on the fight. In large zerg fights I find I get more out of the staff. Dropped a perfect meteor shower last night right as our guild started pushing into an enemy zerg. 20+ bags dropped at my feet.

Tell your commander to learn how to counter trebs. Its fine to be asked to do it for a few minutes while they go and take it out. 30+ minutes though i would just walk away and blame the commander for being incompetent.

You do realize that if for instance you are trebbing hills from the NE supply camp that there are places the enemy can put trebucets within the Hills keep that you cannot counter, don’t you? If you are for instance, interested in taking a fully upgraded hills from that position, you will first need to drain the keep of supply, then break the fortified wall, all the while having an ele rotation protecting your trebs. This is just one example where the commander is not incompetent at all, but still would require ele’s to sit there for a long while.

Thats probably the only case where you would actually require eles to block shots though. Commanders shouldn’t be asking eles to sit on walls or anything like that for extended periods.

I cant think of any other spots that are impossible to counter with an arrow cart or another well placed treb or even just pushing up with a group of staff eles to AOE the kitten out of the area with meteor shower. Mind you there are some tougher ones like the spots in vale where you can hit bay. once the entrance there is sieged up it can be a real pain. A good mesmer could port people past the siege though. The trebs from garrison hitting bay can be counter trebbed from outside the NW tower. Just bring a buncha people and fast build it.

As kain is on top of you punching you in the face “Hey its not so bad!” starts kicking “Really, chin up guys! Oh thanks..” upper cuts “See? things will get better soon!” crotch shot “You guys are really putting up a great fight!” stabs “It’s not like we’re driving the last nail in your coffin or anything…” gets out hammer.

I wonder how much of us losing as bad as we are right now is due to the large list of guild transferring off last week, or whether it’s because we are up against Kaineng. My friends and I love WvW, and if this is how Crystal Desert is going to be performing from now on, then we might get the hell out of here too before paid transfers come up.

I played against you guys alot on IoJ. Does kinda seem like you’ve lost your bite.

I’m going to give you a hint Kaineng. You know all this zerging you’re doing? It won’t win the higher tiers, at least not that easily. You guys make mistakes due to all the zerging that’s easy for a server with a similar or slightly smaller number of people to exploit. If CD still had the numbers we had 2 weeks ago, I guarantee you guys would probably be in second place or would not have a lead this big on either server.

I think people make the mistake that just because we zerg alot we dont use tactics at all. This could not be further from the truth. Most of us have been to T1 before. We know what its like. We know all the little tricks and where to place siege. For example CD was trying to treb the bay wall down from garrison last night. We counter trebbed the emplacements twice and fully repaired the walls. Our commanders put alot of thought into every move we make (at least the ones I run with do).

At this point when we own everything? Yeah it can certainly seem that way and in most cases its probably true. The zergs just go and flip whatever isnt blue.

Numbers certainly help us alot but that isnt the only factor we have going for us.

My only problem with kain has been how bad their playets are.

Having 20 WM chase you around for an hour because you destroyed one of their commanders just speaks poorly of that guild.

Specially when you separate and slaughter a few of em during said merry chase.

Either way g’luck and zerg on Kain

I see complaints about how they move around very coordinated, but if you’ve played with their leaders you’d know even with pugs they focus on keeping everyone in a tight grouping.

Ive seen other guilds trying to mimic this. If you ball up tightly it does look VERY similar to the old swarms of bots we used to see swarming all over the world. But what reason would they possibly have for botting? Seems to me like bots in WvW trying to fight against real players would be awful. Pretty sure WM zergs are not awful. I hope they are still investigating these accusations.

Generally, it’s a bad idea to draw assumptions off of a few fights. Every guild is going to have it’s star players. Every guild is going to have their good moments and their bad moments. RE surely has some good players in it as does WM.

The problem is that when you have guilds that large you are bound to have some people who aren’t as experienced in PvP that might not do that well.

I’m just posting movies of what happened. We (when I was present) have beaten WM in our relatively even numbered fights. I’m not going to take that and say that WM sucks or something stupid like that.

With that said, we do have a natural bias against people who we feel succeed due to mainly having numbers.

Of course one fight isn’t representative of an entire guild, and I absolutely agree. I suppose the main reason I wanted to post this was because of how the fight progressed.

I suppose the point I was trying to illustrate was what you stated, that being the “natural bias against people who we feel succeed due to ______” when the blank is something that’s not really an even playing field. In the broader perspective of this week’s match, it’s the bandwagon transfers and ridiculous imbalance of player numbers on the field. In terms of this specific battle, it’s the imbalance of how this Guardian set their traits vs. the limitations of my Mesmer, but the difference being that in this particular case, my skill was greater than their manipulation of the game mechanics.

I know Guardians are supposed to heal and be very tough to kill. I get that. But no class was meant to out-heal anyone 5 freaking times from 10% to 100% before they finally died, while doing the same amount of damage as their opponent. At least not to my knowledge. Please correct me if I’m wrong…

Ultimately though, the point of my post was to illustrate that even with the odds against us, Ehmry Bay and its fighters (of which I am only a mediocre representative) are not something with which to be trifled. Maybe that point got lost in my using the “E” and “H” words (which one’s the “H” word?).

I will admit I haven’t watched [WM] videos. I’m going to venture a guess and say the reason they don’t 1v1 is generally because they would lose? I mean, you can slice it any way you want, but ultimately you’re saying the same thing, “we can’t win a fair fight, so somehow we have to tip the scales”. This is what I’ve observed on part of [WM] in this match, and given that observation, I’m not sure I want to watch their videos.

To contrast this, [WM] was an amazing guild in Guild Wars 1, one with whom I had the honor and the pleasure to skirmish with once, who absolutely just blew my guild and I out of the water with not even an ounce of proximity on our part. I’m not saying they’re not skilled. What I am saying is that they should be above the crap I’ve been seeing lately. I’m saying, they’re better than that.

I dont think its really fair to say no one in that guild would win in a 1v1. Its a pretty big guild. Dont generalize it like that. Sure they probably have a few baddies. Show me a guild that doesnt? When you have personally 1v1ed everyone (underleveleds not included) and wiped the floor with all of them then I would say its fair to knock them for being bad individually.

Personally I havent seen a whole lot of them this match save for reset night. We were working side by side with them on EB. They were a brutally efficient zerg.

This thread has gone from funny to depressing. /puts down the popcorn

DH was left b/c it was a PvE server. Literally 95% of the population was PvE. Both [DE] and [RE] could attest to this simple fact.

While you can call people bandwagoners all you want yelling at people for wanting to form a like-minded community of players makes no sense at all. You might as well point and scream when a family moves to Colorado because they like to ski.

In WoW hardcore raiders tended to gravitate towards hardcore raiding servers. PvPers sat on PvP servers. GW2 has no WvW only servers, so some of us decided to work on making the next best thing. Yeah, we could’ve gone up to JQ… but we would just be profiting from the work of others, like being carried through 25 man heroic raids. Where’s the fun in that?

So the first few weeks were easy, soon we’ll have our first challenge. I assure that the first 100 of us that transfered did so when Kaineng was the bottom of the bottom tier and didn’t expect an easy ride up. We liked the place.

WM transferring a week or two later was a really nice boon but we don’t expect to be carried either way. Yeah, WM could randomly decide to leave, we’d still be here. When it comes down to it WM is only 100-150 people and we don’t expect them to carry several thousand people. I’m friends with a few ppl in WM and know for a fact that they are dedicated, organized and on point. Even so, it will take the WHOLE server to work together in the coming tiers.

Therein lies the strength of Kaineng, its whole community.

Pretty much this. I expect we’ll probably lose a few matches as the server adjusts to not constantly face rolling. But with the numbers and community locked in my paid transfers over time I think we’ll only get better.

Im sorry everyone is so angered by the disruption our transfers have caused. But you gotta keep in mind its only temporary.

Now can we please keep this topic friendly? Not worth getting infractions over a pointless argument.

Good point Foss, although its too bad we didn’t see ‘the real good players’ from Kain this week (according to you ofc). Which is worse: poking fun at the opposing team, or saying the players that are currently playing on our servers aren’t good?

Maybe you did come out, can you find yourself in this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uy8rnSezspk

I dont mind a little friendly smack talking. Thats what these threads are for.

But when it turns into downright insulting an entire server based on the fact that the majority of us transferred from DYING servers. I wont sit here and listen to it. Not saying you ever said that. Just an example.

Or generalizing saying the whole server is crap because a few of us are spawn camping you. Thats barely a step above calling an entire server hackers based on the actions of once person.

This thread is hilarious.

Kaineing : Respect us, just because we had like 8 guilds bandwagon over, doesn’t mean we are winning because of that! Oh and we so have individual skill!
Ebay: Not a chance in hell
Devonas: Pfft, we were the best t8 server..

Nah…most of Kaineng doesn’t want respect yet. We know we still need to earn that, what we want is for people to stop disrespecting and insulting. People here are playing a GAME…stop being kitten and just find a way to enjoy it rather than blaming others for your lack of fun.

I dont expect respect from anyone on these forums.

Although I do find it funny that people are saying kaineng is going to get smacked down hard when we move up. Hopefully you other 2 servers realize your not even fighting our full force. Most of my guild has spent the week leveling alts and running PvE content. Myself included. Theres just no point being in WvW right now. Just ruining things even more for you guys which I dont want to be a part of. I prefer small group combat which is almost impossible right now. Cant take 2 steps out there without running into a friendly zerg lol.

Come next week when we are up against DB I have a feeling we’ll be out in force again.

Please take the time to look through a lot of the older posts by a lot of the newer members in this match-up. I see a lot of the same complaints in those older threads that many members of DR and EB are now posting in this current thread. The irony of it is many of the new members of Kain are the ones whom are fed up of all the complaining on the forums. Moving to be competitive I totally understand and have no grievance with but at least show some respect when that decision affects other tiers and throws the balance completely off. A collective decision of 4-5 guilds to move to a server has definitely caused a stir and certainly an imbalance. Any old Kains remember the anger and posts generated from when only 1 fairly decent sized guild moved to DR a few months back?
To make posts complaining about complainers when your older posts have those same complaints in them seems pretty kitten funny to me. Wait….did I just complain about complainers complaining about complaints? help……..me…..

I dont understand why anyone comes on the forums and complains about what other people are doing. Its not gona change anything and in most cases its just disrespectful. Im pretty sure thats not why we create these threads.

Stonemist Castle; Why always lagging?

in WvW

Posted by: Foss.4830

Foss.4830

Well, it is the main focus for the enternal battlegrounds and whoever owns it doesn’t give it up without a fight and that fight usually involves most of the people on the map for the 2 or 3 servers that want it.

Also since this is about lag there is nothing in the updates that should be able to fix it as the issue is on your end and not their servers. Player culling is about the only thing that they can fix so you dont fight invisible enemies.

The short answer to fixing this is to buy/upgrade to a better computer.

Stonemist lag has nothing to do with how fast your computer is. Its an issue with the server. During some of the larger engagements it can take as long as 5-10 seconds to get a skill to go off. Its always like this for anyone in the area.

These kinds of posts need to stop. Do not rag on guilds for transferring from dying servers because they want to be competitive. This is both unfair and disrespectful. Im on kaineng and im getting plenty of 1v1s and small group fights. Just because your constantly getting rolled by our zergs doesnt give you the right to come into this thread and start stirring things up and attacking our community. You only have to put up with it for this week then you will probably never see us again.

I mean its almost like you want us to stop outnumbering you some how? Are we supposed to tell everyone to wait in LA and just take turns going in to WvW to make things fair? Ill let you be the one to organize that.

Bottom line. Our guilds WANT large scale battles. We absolutely WILL NOT find that in lower tiers.

I’m not going to rag on Kain for having numbers. Things are what they are. But I’ve read your post several times now, even waited a while before responding to it, but since the start of this matchup I’ve had a few questions that maybe you can answer. I’m being serious … not trying to pick a fight.

-1. If [WM] wanted so badly to get back to T2/T1 (obvious from their tactics), why did they leave that level in the first place? If they were unhappy with SBI, why didn’t they just transfer to one of the other higher tier servers? Why disrupt all the other matchups in the lower tiers on their way back up to where they were anyway? It doesn’t make sense to me.

-2. If there were a lot of guilds (presumably including yours) on Kain that ached to join really large scale battles, why wouldn’t you have transferred to a server in a higher tier to begin with? Several of them have pretty much always been recruiting, they are established and well organized so you’d learn faster, and it would have been a much faster path for you. Steamrolling opponents isn’t even good for you, because it draws in players you don’t really want (as Mag is discovering to their chagrin) and bores the good players you do have to the point they don’t even join the map.

I’m honestly not trying to bait you or anyone else … I’m just puzzled.

I cannot speak for [WM] or any other guild for that matter.

My guild transferred here because we wanted to help push a low tier server up into the higher tiers. We arent really a massive guild but we did bring a bunch of very experienced commanders that are well versed in WvW Tactics. We can actually make a difference here where as the higher tier servers really dont need need us. They are already well established.

Not that we or any guild should need to defend/explain ourselves. Its our decision to make and we should not be smacked down or called “Bandwagoners” for trying to stay competitive.

Im sorry you guys get caught up in our push to the top but dont come in here and rage at us. We’ll be gone at the end of the week and things will balance out again.

Yeah most of the time it isn’t fun (when numbers aren’t equal). But sometimes you still encounter the very exciting small scale group fights over a group of us (Kaineng) trying to take back one of your supply camps with a whole lot of resistance on your end.

My experience has been we take a camp and no less than 50 Kaineng show up to take it back. If 10 Kaineng show up, it’s because 40 of them aren’t rendering yet.

There may be talent on Kaineng but we’ll never know. The very fact that you all transferred to a bottom tier server purely to ride the zerg-train back to the top says a lot about the guilds there and the types of challenges they were aiming to get.

If you are original Kaineng, I apologize (but statistically, that is unlikely).

Perma-Stealth Thief / Dead Mesmer Ressing

in WvW

Posted by: Foss.4830

Foss.4830

Im really surprised that they havent fixed this yet. You should not be able to interact with another player in any way shape or form while you are stealthed or otherwise invulnerable (that includes mist form rezzing…which Im pretty sure actually IS a bug since you have to hit mist form after you begin inducting)

This is really separate from the culling issue although the culling issue tends to make it easier for perma stealth thieves.

For most classes there is no counter at all to a stealth finisher. Warriors hammers go straight through you. Mesmers cant port/stealth without a target. And this is assuming that you even know theres a thief thats stealthed and about to finish you. (Or a mesmer which I see occasionally)

Something needs to be done about stealth in general. Its far too potent as is. In the right hands you can literally run circles around a zerg picking off lowbies. (seen it done)

But since I doubt anything is going to be done anytime soon. To the OP the only advice I have for you is sweep harder. really dig into those cracks around the edges of your keeps. and if you see a body on the ground make sure they release before you move on to the next thing. Or go hide near by out of LOS and see if someone tries to rez them. As of right now this is not an exploit.

How To Counter Ele As A Zerg?

in WvW

Posted by: Foss.4830

Foss.4830

Watched this video a few days ago. The zerg is sadly from my old server. They were mostly unorganized. If any of our experienced commanders had been there they would have told them to push.

As the story goes a commander actually WAS there but decided to pull back because…comon…its 4 eles..the majority of the zerg didnt follow him apparently and decided they just HAD to go in for the kills (they got the bloodlust)

As stated in situations like this you either just have to push them and get in their faces or have one sneaky little mesmer portal bomb them. Either one would have been difficult against such an organized team. Just throw CC in their faces so they cant get heals off and you win every time.

All major wvw guilds are leaving the server. Majority of our oceanic crew moved to FA.

Me and my guild transferred down to kaineng to try and help them move up the tiers.

Im fairly sure there are a few other guilds from IoJ that are considering moving to kaineng.

Last I heard TL was still undecided.

Whoever does stay behind is gona have their work cut out for them. with transfers closing in a week it may not even be possible to salvage.

Just got done playing for the night. FA had has as much as 460 points and had a queue on all maps.

Yeah you guys capped SM just as we were starting our golem rush then CD pushed too. EPIC skill lag lol.

Yeah IoJ is no longer going to be a competitive WvW server. All of the major guilds have transfered or will be transferring in the next couple of days. The remaining guilds got together tonight for one last massive golem rush on SM. Im sure pics and videos will follow. Was a fun night

IoJ is Sleeping :x

The loss of our major guilds is starting to take effect. We have no coverage at all outside our own BL.

I very much doubt that We (IoJ) will be pulling ahead at all this week. We’ve lost a few guilds already and I will not be surprised if more follow.

Ive seen a slow but steady drop off in our WvW base over the last 2 weeks. People are getting discouraged and either not coming out to WvW at all or just leaving the server altogether. We barely have the numbers to cover our own BL half the time that im online. Too many gaps in our timezones atm to be competitive at all. I imagine things will only get worse when we drop down a tier.

I hate to see this happen to our server

EDIT: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/guesting-is-coming/

This could either save us or make things much worse…everyone will try to transfer off while they still can…on the upside it might prevent people from bailing on us

Wall damage should give credit for tower

Actually for a bit it did. Though some patch ninja screwed it again to give no credit.

I noticed this too. I used to get full credit for trebbing bay wall down from garrison. Last couple times we’ve done it though ive gotten no credit at all.

FIX PLEASE!

If either we or ioj goes to T4 I will be happy. They(ioj) have to be the lousiest server I have had the somewhat pleasure of playing against. They do their math on a 1-dimensional abacus and act as nothing more than a tier filler. They put the fate of the game entirely in the hands of CD so they can choose the weakest servers to hoard into the tier and catapult themselves up a tier or just sit at the top of T3 farming.

Wut??

And certainly not because there’s a dozen commanders who independently make decisions about what to attack on a given day. No. That’s not how it works at all.

If they independently keep choosing CDBL (minus the automatic few in EB) next week the couple dozen commanders on CD might independently decide to deny FA points until you’re pushed out of the tier.

You’ve seen a couple of nights now what we can do when we feel motivated enough to make it happen. As I’ve said before this has been an escalating cycle of retaliation. FA’s big guilds and commanders need to look at this and ask themselves “is this the ceiling or can they do something even worse?”
From my perspective the smart move seems to be for red to always have or be pushing for at least one keep in IoJBL. Keep CD running mostly on pug power instead of concerted guild efforts with a specific FA priority.

Wow you really sound like TC right now, but tell you what. Even though u guys have a massive population atm with a high presence in wvw, you are nothing like TC and shouldn’t have a chip on your shoulder like that. Guilds from both IOJ and FA are still able to destroy your zergs with like half of the people your zerg has. If you feel sooo much above everyone that u wanna play “wvw tier 3 god”, go ahead, but don’t cry if IOJ and FA aren’t playing by your rules, because we wont.

Its okay. they’re in for a rude awakening when they move up to T2.

How Many badges of Honour do you have/stock ?

Posted by: Foss.4830

Foss.4830

Just over 2k badges. 500k karma on my main and like 100kish on my 2 alts.

Saving them up in the hopes that they will add useful gear to the badge merchants.

There are two major issues with this match-up that I’ve noticed over the past month.

As Arena Net refuses to remove Fort Aspenwood from this bracket I think it has to be said that our server (since GODS basically fell apart) has zero ability to fight against the numbers of IoJ and CD. As much as I don’t doubt the FA guys try (and god knows, I do too), we almost categorically have the outmanned buff which does 3/5ths of nothing to help.

To those of you who say IoJ and CD don’t have some unwritten law – you’re wrong. I’ve witnessed it several times in the EB Jumping Puzzle where CD and IoJ pass each other by like they’re best of friends, whilst I’ll walk in by myself and get slaughtered.

This is not fun. The retort to this kind of statement will inevitably be “then don’t play”, but that’s not the point of a “game”, is it. World vs. World can be a lot of fun, but this type of match up for the past 3 weeks is getting stale. You’ve proven for three weeks running Fort Aspenwood is the bottom of the pile. Congrats. Can we go now?

Im no expert at WvW. But I think FA are making some poor tactical decisions. From my experience, IoJ are trying to chip away at CD as they lead. Meanwhile FA are constantly in our home borderlands and like last night, we take SM from CD in EB only to have FA steal it and target our keeps. Like my belief is that the leader in a tier should be targetted by the two behind, not what is happening. Just because you can attack, doesn’t mean you should. And our commanders are often making us pull out of attacks for this reason.

I think the reasoning here is pretty simple. They are 20k behind CD. Virtually 0 chance that they will catch them before the reset. However if they push us on IoJ hard enough they might be able to at least come in 2nd place.

At the rate theyre pushing at. They will probably pass us in a few hours. Well played FA :P

To IoJ,
You seriously need to know how to do a Mesmer sweep. Because you didn’t sweep the hills in your BL, we swipped it from you. Have a nice day.

Fair cap. Sadly I wasnt there. Whoever was leading the defense screwed us pretty hard. We generally try to beat it into everyones heads to always sweep for mesmers. Apparently some of them still have alot of learning to do.
