Also, are you interesting in buying some Quagrotica?

Do you have the HD version of “Quaggan Does Dallas”?

It’s for a friend…

I have a copy. Im selling it for 30 gold.

This should be in the other forum.

Here is an accurate inaccurate rating:
NA
1:SoR
2:BG
3:TC
4:FA(that’s right, they are just held down by the fact that their stuff is paper/pre-capped before NA prime)
5:JQ

Oceanic
1:BG
2:SoR
3:TC/FA(depends on attendance)
4:SoS
5:JQ/DB (early bird SEA mostly)

SEA
1:BG
2:JQ
3:SoR
4:TC/DB (depends on attendance)
5:??? I’m guessing either FA or CD

EU
1:SoR
2:BG
3:TC
4:JQ
5:Mag

Seems like every server has posted in this thread. Hi guys!

To keep this post relevant, it looks like JQBL is now FABL 2.0! How did that happen :o

Wait til JQ SEA logs on, T2 will turn into JQ’s newest PVE zone.

1/2 of JQ WvWvw’ers cant give 2 cents about this matchup.

We are however, giving FA a little room. Since JQ has decided so.

JQ does whatever JQ wants

I think to make those achievements… Achievable…. They need to just knock off a zero.

I’m confused over how doing the same thing for years is even considered an achievement.

You should ask Apple. They have been making the same iCrap everyday for the last 6 years.

You have to remember that there are 4 teams of living world creators/engies/illustrators/etc. Only 1 dedicated team for WvWvW

SO offcourse you will see more living world updates when they quadruple the number.

Sadly, WvWvW isnt a strong money maker so we are unlikely to see great wvw updates.

Most of WvWvW cost comes from hosting it on their outsourced cloud servers. It aint cheap.

NA 1-BG 2-SoR 3-JQ
SEA 1-JQ 2-BG 3-TC
EU 1-SoR 2- BG 3- No one else even comes close

I have never heard of Vabbi so i cant comment

SmoothHussler.6387:

I think the reason this thread is so long so early in the matchup is down to a difference in culture between servers.

So I created a simple picture to explain this.

Or a better description

JQ = A Katana
FA = A Fruit slicer
MAG = A nail clipper

:)

Truearrow.3527:

Keep flapping your yaps about Mag, have your fun we really do not care Mag, is the most stable community in GW2/NA we all enjoy playing together, have never and will never have a server-wide wvw meltdown because “guild x” that we relied on transferred out to the latest bandwagon server. We’ll see you in a few weeks when the meltdown occurs, just as it happened with Kaineng, Crystal Desert, SoS,,, kitten it I’m not listing ALL of the servers, I’ll be here all day.

Isn’t PYRO leaving Mag?

No comments.

It is very clear that this matchup is terrible. Last 2 nights was the most boredom i got in months.

Current score is 2125 , thats just a whisker away from SoR 2140.

Dear Anet, i dont mind every now and then fighting Tier 3 servers but for 3 weeks in a row is plain injustice.

Folks duel in WvW all the time because wvwvw is an uncontrolled setting. Many more variables to consider. Things are boring when everything is constant.

Anet knows that veteran players are losing flavor with WvW.

Ranks are terribly unsatisfactory. Why? No points to spend which can benefit me in fights, i.e. DAoC has 1%/3%/5%/7%/9% purchasable damage skills.

Ranks are super easy to get. Nothing special about them.

Orbs are gone. Orbs provided wvw players with another reason to fight in WvW.

The number of players allowed in a group must be increased to 8 to provide good 8v8.

Terrible rain/snow effects. We need realistic environmental effects which make a considerable difference.

I have played DAoC for 10 years and was excited everytime i got to play it.

With GW2, its already just Aug but i feel less excited about logging on as the months come.

If a GW2/DAOC killer came, i would leave in a heartbeat.

TGSlasher.1458:

Caffynated.5713:

The game desperately needs more skillshots, not less. If anything, most other skills should be changed to not home in on their target.

I agree.

Its guild wars. Its a game meant to be easy.

You know what, folks have been making crazy claims since forever.

Your existence in T1 match-ups comes down to a roll of the dice .Nothing you can really do about that.

Do you really think these match-ups were done without the slightest of manual input from Anet?

Hey Fuzzion, I was highly suspecting the same. Anet must have manipulated manually on the match-up.

So JQ must get bored these weeks, to get some fun from wvw, our ultimate boss Waha called [ATM] for leveling our new purple Afro asura toons (chosen one of classes-ele/guard/warr/mesmer,same hight, figure, hair color and style) last a couple of nights (Oceanic time zone) through WVW and still nailed those so called GvG guilds (yes, we noticed you had less amount of ppl than us) and toke towers, garrions. almost of us level range was like 15-30 and almost of us picked new classes we never played, basically one hit killed by any champ NPC in wvw. we cross learned classes while voice chatting in TS and shared the knowledges. SOOO much fun.
we purple afro asuras will hopefully get full 80 by this end of week. will be more fun at that time. feel free to join us even if your not part of [ATM].
[ATM] is having 40+ purple afro asuras at the moment and the number is increasing. you can expect a full lvl 80 army leaded by JQ SEA boss Waha formed from 50+ nearly identical appearance asura next match-up.
any guilds during SEA/Oceanic time, plz dont run away if you see afro asura this week. we all greens.

the attached ‘say hi’ was taken last Saturday (i wasnt in there). I created one and leveled 4 levels within 2 or 3 hours last night…

FRoBros!

Courier speed is a 50% movement speed increase and doesn’t stack with Swiftness.

Does that mean if I’m carrying supply I run with 50% movement increase? No matter what? Whereas swiftness is 33%? Does this apply in and out of combat as well?

It sounds as if Courier Swiftness is a short-term, temporary buff that is applied when you grab supply out of a camp/tower/keep. I highly doubt that they’d give a 50% permanent speed boost increase just for HOLDING supply.

I wonder if boon duration will add to this short duration speed boost /ponder

I was wondering the same. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what Tuesday brings us!

See you on the field Fuzz!

AYe mate. 2 more days

SFShinigami.2015:

Dear his Papal Glory, Saint Mancus of the Malhavoc, I pray by the beard of Jedsus this message reaches you. Once again we have been sidetracked on our long journey home to the beautiful shores of Jed Quarry. Last week Captain Kelo of The Lady Seafoam Antonym marooned us in between the lands of Fort Aspenwood and Dragonbrand, and his excuses dripped with ulterior motives, now this week we find ourselves AGAIN marooned, this time at the hands of Captain Thorich of The Red Seasniffer of the Proletariat between Fort Aspenwood and Maguuma, though, to be honest I believe he is just after some Magswag #yolo420.

With each supposedly accidental crash our rebuilt ships get smaller and smaller and I begin to wonder if random chance will somehow prove more successful at returning us home than these recent converts who call themselves Captains. In the meantime, we will again snuggle the citizens of Fort Aspenwood fiercely, we have gotten to know many of them well, they are very receptive to the word of Jedsus Chris and upon our crash landing, some even joined our dance party. The Maguuma citizens, however, I have heard are a rambunctious lot, sneaking up on you in your sleep riding their Maguumy Bears to steal all your swag for themselves.

Once again the banner of The Holy Church of Jedsus Chris of Saturday Feints will pierce the heavens as it did upon the founding of church with the first Saint of Destruction, Lord Hoschi at the Great Eiffel Tower of Vegas and like before we shall not falter, and we shall not fail.

Jedmen.

Operation “Convert Maguuma” has began

So far im impressed by Mag.

Updated the scores because fuz luvs yall.

Interesting Matchup. No complains if Mag provides either loot bags or/and healthy competition to the server cause theres just so much i can take before slapping Yaks gets boring.

For all these new air builds, yes, u dont need that much extended boon duration.

For yall that are like me, and havent changed traits from the classic build(do i really need to state them hahaha) since 1956 , you need the boon runes.

I thiiiiiiiiiink we just need a nice balance of troll posts and sportmanship ones.

Eitherway I’m at work go have fun ingame! Cause I can’t atm…..

I love trains!

Hi Phaneo

I almost everyday run with duos to 5 man grps in JQ. I play a mix of roam and havoc and if an urgent need arises, to assist the border commander.

Havoc because I want to call out the attention of other grps and roam because i come from a 8-man DAoC roaming mentality which i played for 8 years and roaming is awesome fun.

Having played JQ since beta, in both top tiers, there is no assurance you will face equal numbers. But thats the fun of roaming. You do not know what lies ahead, unless its a zerg which offcourse is detected by my crappy PC with incoming lag and a drop in FPS which is useful for escaping zergs. A good 2 seconds in warning.

Transfers bring in money that pays for the game remaining free.

The goal of GW2 is to get all the towers,keeps and camps. Not to just simply kill the most players.

Someone tell EU they are playing the game wrong.. QUICK BEFORE THEY HAVE TOO MUCH FUN!!

I too would love 30 hour work weeks, bull runs, sun , beach and bailouts

BlackBeard.2873:

Bill (and team),

I really appreciate the very measured, data-driven approach you have taken here with trying to fix the issue. I understand it can get very-much into the nitty-gritty, and probably required development of some kind of profiler-type tool to understand most what areas of your code were hogging resources. Optimizing takes time, and it is great that you guys have been working at it like this. Keep up the great work, and I can’t wait to see the results!

Ah, so I was right! There is somebody with binoculars spying on me at the office.

According to Snowden, your own phone is watching you

Awww…. miss you gummybears! Hope we get a JQ v DB v Mag next. It’ll be a LOT of fun, if this match is any indication.

Im really hoping its BG vs JQ vs ____ anything else. Kindda miss being outnumbered by 213%

TIMMEH.8106:

I can make up kitten too, I ride a unicorn to work, its pretty SWEET

Me too. Also it saves on fuel cost and road taxes

Slither Shade.4782:

In my opinion.

Example: You are using dagger/dagger and are in fire. You gather up a bunch of mobs and cause them to gather around you. You cast the ring of fire combo field then switch to earth. You then cast the knock down stomp which will combo off the fire ring and give you might. Right away cast earth number 5 that earth shatter thing. While it is getting ready to go off you use the slot skill that grants critical hits. Use your blocking bubble especially if the mobs can knock you down. Boom!

Something like that.

SOmething like that

start A3 for fury, switch to fire, stack 10 mobs on you, f3 into them , then f4, f5, quickly hit e4, spam e2 if you can or just e5, hit w 4 , LF into the mobs again timed with e5, w3, back to air, hit a4 and a5. Done.

Anything is better than tornado. Any ele with tornado should be tied up

use tornado. See enemys dying by fall. Lot of laughs.

If you can even do that. Tornado flings enemies almost entirely at random half the time. I find if devilishly hard to aim where I’m sending them.[/quote]

If we could send them to out Ground target, that would be very funny to watch

Underwater whirlpool is fine. Its quite oped when you meet dumb players

Shockwave.1230:

Fuzzion.2504:

Yes, mix is the best. But Mix is something you will have to try and balance. Are there templates out there for the copying, yes. Do you really want to copy them exactly? No. Everyone has a different playstyle. Fiddling with your gear till you find the perfect mix is very fun but also very opinionated, Some say might makes up for low pow, some say pre scales better than pow, some say tuff at 1600 is fine, some say healing at 700 is comfortable, some say blah blah blah

By the numbers precision is actually better for your Average overall deps than power.
Also by the numbers vitality is actually better for your overall effective health.

That said, this is only partly a numbers game. Your overall build, skill, and playstyle are important too.

AYe. Here is a pre vs pow graph, with pow linear vs pre

The Game Slayer.7632:

Razor.6392:

you can always lightning flash to correct your position.

Yeah, lets waste a utility skill when most of my builds cant fit in a lightning flash.
For anyone else saying theyd rather have it not home in on their target, then you dont understand that if it did home in on your target, you have the option to do BOTH. simply de target your opponent, there you go The fact that it doesnt home in, simply means that you can never play how you want to. I am going to repeat myself. IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT PREFER IT NOT HOME IN, THEN IF THIS WAS IMPLEMENTED YOU CAN DE-TARGET YOUR OPPONENT ive got some experience in the forums, and people tend to not read the first time around. Maybe i should repeat myself again? i will if i have to, however, the problem remains, you are forced to play to a degree of skill which no other class is forced. What if heartseeker didnt home in on a target and you had to line that up? leap of faith? ride the lightning? Of course, if you like to play that way, then you can. if you dont have auto targetting on and you de target your opponent, you can play to such a level which you feel giddy with yourself. And ill repeat once more, the problem remains that burning speed NEVER homes in unlike every other gap closing skill.

There is nothing with burning speed. LF is very important but its used with e5 or for heal or for confusing enemy by LF behind enemy or used in conjunction with RTl or used to get up a height if you could have run through it.

For DnD —-—-

Healing Power too low. You need to up it to around 600+

Recharge rate too low

Crit Damage is fine at 50, so may have to reduce it

Tuff is fine at 1600~1700. You are wasting it

Your vit is fine if you are not being bursted on by 2 very good glass thieves

Pow a little low but will be okay with stacks

You GOE sig heal replace with resto sig

Arc wave replace with lightning flash

Mist is fine

Arm of E take out and replace with earth signet

Earth trait revert to 0 and put it in arcane. Boon duration is good enuf when swapping into earth

Air 10 aura is good choice.

Change Water,arc to the usual traits.

Change what you are okay with.
