Guild Wars 2

We have actual commander training sessions and accreditions to permit commander tag use amongst top guilds in jq. Very very rare to find commander tags in JQ from a top form guild during na,eu,sea,ocean,etc timezone where incompetency arises. Mistakes are incidental to perfection.

I still think at lvl 300 there should be a msge that says go outside and get some numbers

Plus it’s fun defending non-PvPers from the JP gank squads.

tPvP is not the same as WvWvW. Unlike pvp, wvw is not 50% Bunker eles and 50% thieves

oldephartte.4369:

Hmm.

Servers move up and down through Tiers 1-3 like a toilet seat. Something around 1/3 of all WVW players have a reasonable expectation that over a not so extended period of time their server can climb to the top of the rankings.

Before paid transfers , your toilet seat reference was accurate. If you look at last 4 weeks including this week, this is no longer true. I would say atleast for the next year or so , do not expect drastic population shifts. However, like DAoC, no server is immune to fluctuations over a 7 year period.

I rank ocx above merc. my opinion offcourse

Coldviper.6794:

If you’re looking for perfectly fair fights where gear plays no role you’ll have to play spvp. WvW is quite gear dependant and requires organization. If you just jump in and kitten around by yourself you won’t accomplish much. Many servers have communities that use a voice chat program which makes for a lot of fun.

If you are on JQ we have a community teamspeak.

They broke their own laws :

1) Introduced Ascended gear
2) Created Ranks
3)Created Rank Abilities
4)Created Leader boards
5) Separate class balance for WvW
6)Solved culling
7)Doubled their WvW team size
8) Indication of a new map
9) Provided wvw benefits for the entire realm
10)[etc]……

There is nothing casual about wvw. The only thing casual is the zero subscription rate.

Lets end this thread.

First, get all PVT gear if you are a noob dying alot in WvW.

You go more crit after that as you slowly throw out the training wheels.
Stack your sigils and eat your bread!

This does not apply to staff to snf. If you are either, glass is more viable.

While we are at it can we also have a bazooka pew pew

Chillin with 32 stacks of badges.

Q_Q Need awesome unique skins

Or we could build an army of a 100 golems

Worst suggestion ever.

WvWvW was cloned from RvRvR of DAoC which was cloned from some other game Mark Jacobs , the creator of DAoC played.

Some employees of DAoC now work for Anet.

DAoC was created from the MUD called Darkness Falls (later to be the name sake of the PvP dungeon). Mythic ran that MUD so really what DAoC did was move their own ideas from the telnet style of play, which is how all us old timers MMO’d back then, to the graphic MMOs that are now common. They did not clone it from another game that MJ played, it was their own game.

You are right, yes DAoC was the creator, but mark did say he took the idea from an old game(cant remember what he said)

On another note, i find it cute how all the new gw2 players like this 3 sided warfare that we daoc vets had for years Btw Im fuzzion rr12L1 from hibernia classic. before that was merlin. You?

I love how ppl take the time to write a 2000 word suggestion list without noticing that Anet employees only have time to skim through suggestions.

New WvW map to coincide with ESO release – Colin

Is mesmer fotm replacing the dnd ele?

Btw, u can see habib on google plus. He makes comments about gw2 over there that never make their way here.

From what i heard from a veteran ele s/tPvP player, he says eles are safe. Phew!

Is the OP from North Korea?

Stephen.9852:

the 100v100v100 has gotten really old.

In DAoC , in RvRvR (wvw) , we crashed the entire server when there were around 700 total players at the relic(orb) keep. This 300 players is just the beginning Wait till anet upgrades the number cap

This thread has more drama than a housewives afternoon soap-opera

Asian timzone update.

Dear Anet, you have less than a year before ESO gets released. May want to double your WvW efforts starting yesterday. And if you have done so, congrats. Dont blow it like Mythic.

-Your Fan.

Jeknar.6184:

I’m still waiting to see someone vouch for the rangers…

I ran a duel with a ranger in wvw. 4 rounds. It was a draw.

His pets terrifying howl made me flee. It was annoying. And not to mention push back since he knew rtl was the opener. I had fun. We bowed and went our separate ways.

I have been killed by rangers no doubt, but i have yet to be killed by an engie or a necro.

Fuzzion.2504:

Killing a mesmer is more annoying than killing my own kind, the ele.

I find bleed very effective on them, as the clones dont stagger, save for the real mesmer.

your problem is finding the real Mesmer? wat

There are 2 classes I avoid, if possible. 1st its another dnd ele. 90% of them go bunker. 2nd is the mesmer because one- they have high burst damage, and second, they are not easy 1v1.

I have been studying mesmer videos to better learn their weaknesses and from what i have seen,the key to killing a mesmer is avoid the phantasm damage when it spawns and then kill them if they are phantasm spec or killing the mesmer if they are shatter.

Aside from that, I have seen a rising population of mesmers while seeing a decrease in DnD eles and thieves.

Organized guilds running during NA time
SoR

• Choo: 40+
• TW/TWL 50+
• TSYM: 60+
• SHAP : 40+
• SSQ : 25+
• FEAR: 50+
• SIN: 20+
• CDS: 20+
• HIRE: 15+
• Hal: 20+
• Plum: 30+
• GSCH: 30+

Lets see whats wrong with here.

You listed two asian guilds that are never on during NA prime, SAHP and SSQ. SiN I’ve never seen field more than 5-10, HIRE is rarely in force outside Oceanic hours, Hal should be Hel, PLUM fields like…five people on a good day, maybe if you replace them with HL, I don’t think HL runs 30 tho, GSCH does not come every night but they do normally come in a larger force.

Some of the other guilds numbers you say seem a bit off too. Oh and this comes from probably one of the most active people on SoR.

Kryyg.8576:

I agree, our SEA fights hard everyday, I love the mornings when I am able to run with FOO. Waha really is committed to just dominating our enemies regardless of the score. Our other timezone leaders could learn a lot from his example. If we operated more like our SEA guilds, our maps would probably be green almost 24/7.

Yeah, it must be hard when you have a massive zerg, one of the other sides is slowly dying, and the other doesn’t have the same amount of SEA as you. Don’t you dare down talk your other leaders, they try hard to get points. They actually have to fight things for PPT.

Are you trying to say only reason our SEA performs is because they are un-opposed? If so, that is wrong and you know it. Our SEA is probably the most organized of any server and that’s the reason we win that time slot.

Im going to agree with this somewhat…… alot of people during SEA prime arent on TS in SOR, and are much more fragmented than i’d like it to be. I think that is the biggest difference.

FOO worked extremely hard unifying our SEA coverage to become as organized as they are. Some nights they all run FoO or FOO tag’s but that doesn’t mean they originated as FOO some are HD/KE/FS and others and then there is DC which also worked extremely hard unifying people of similar languages together. This coupled with the fact that they both have translators to translate to their respective language it allows for our SEA to be as coordinated as you see. just some insight.

Waha is a magnet for the entire SEA side. The best thing is when he gets angry he scolds us in a language we dont understand save for a few words like
######Combo!########

We have a saying in JQ SEA. If waha is on that BL, its 99% sure to turn all green.

GIVE US back the Orbs….PLEASZEEE.

Killing a mesmer is more annoying than killing my own kind, the ele.

I find bleed very effective on them, as the clones dont stagger, save for the real mesmer.

Someone mentioned Necro! Necros are at the bottom of the list with engies. Even below rangers.

Today was the most boring time ever in WvW. The only peeps worth killing was a result of spawn camping.

Ezeriel.9574:

If you want to solo/roam, then you use D/D, because it lets you charge in and then escape if it goes bad.

If you want to play a group support/ranged class you use a staff.

Both are good, both are viable. One is better for Spvp, one is better for WvW zerging.

I see no problems with either one.

-

I think D/D ele’s hate Staff users because 90% of the time in a small group pvp scenario the D/D’s side will win, but add just one staff ele into the mix and the D/D will be forced to run or die.

Roots, reflective shields, chills, stuns, and all that healing… it’s a D/D’s worst nightmare.

You sure you play DnD? Or are u trying to make the OP feel good?

Staff were designed for 3 thongs, and 3 things only; keep attack,defence and zerg warfare with their combo fields and static/etc.

Thanks for clarifying that guys .

Can someone tell me what really is going on with all these talks about bg imploding,etc. ?

Xenice.4361:

so sad right now, small guilds get no “praises or props” ..always bout the zergballs. but to be honest i dont know any small guilds in JQ or SoR, that run outside of their zballs. so i guess no praises for you as well =)

JQ
————-
SAV
NORD
TKG
etc…

VBK.6325:

JQ #1 at running away XD

You mean running away to collect the bags you guys dropped for us

The predicted score for this week is

1st- Jq – 255,903
2nd- SoR – 235,874
3rd- BG – 198,046

Iiiiiiiiiiiiii ishj tooo drunbk to play tonight…….mayyy thje best m,an win

I think T8 should be left alone. It offers those using 3133ghz intel Pentium 1 with SVGA 16 bit cards with 56k dialup modems a chance to fight in WvW

StealthSnake.9134:

Oh, uh thank you

Looking forward to T3?

Meosuke.8167:

I can get away with just 2 in PVE but as soon as i get in WvW I switch around like a mad man.
Once you learn the system it can really pay off tho.
Embrace the 4 attunements XD

Remember not to switch too fast. If fighting another ele, always take time to hit w4,w3,w2,w5 before going to fire or whateva next.

Chill affects attunemnt swap rates!

Edit : also hitting the last spell, does not require it to finish before u can swap. So w5 is last because it takes some time

Staff ele have the best group/zerg orientated combos

Nice work folks

Without a doubt, DAoC is superior to GW2. But then again it took 5 years to polish DAOC.

I know some of you dont agree, but GW2 is a 10 year project. But the time it hits 5 years, it will be far more fun than what daoc was after 5 years.

The founder of Mythic – Mark Jacobs is in the process of developing Camelot Unchained AKA DAoC 2.

This week is coming to an end.

To BG and SoR, thanks for the challenges. Lookin forward to our next matchup.

Heres the Asian timezone update

Personally, i use glyph of elemental harmony while attuned to air followed by shocking aura. With 70% boon duration it gives you 17 + 8.5s of swiftness on 25s cd both skills. Then i switch to water (pop frost aura if active) and after 10s again to air to keep it up.

Since I am on a roll with questions: Is glyph what most eles run for a heal? I have ether renewal as a heal for the extra condition removal (and short cooldown). But 3 sec cast time leaves this ripe for interruption (after fighting D/D thieves I am constantly on the lookout for that blue glow). If I had 800-1000 healing power like Lert I’d use Signet of Restoration

Your slots should be this:

6 = Glyph
7= Signet of earth
8= Mistform
9= Lightning flash
0= conjure fiery great sword

The boon duration runes are worth it. But it works best when you go pro in DnD. If you need training wheels, pure pvt with heal pow. Slowly by slowly, adjust ,add,reduce to what you are comfortable with.

SnD and SnF and Staff eles are walking free WXP for me. Unlike you i did the opposite, 100 hrs in staff, then 200 in SnF, then straight to DnD+ Staff(depending on combo need, situation,etc) and have never looked back.

SnF as a pure glass in a grp was fun though. A1 got a buff if im not wrong
