Guild Wars 2

No, YOU’RE the bad guys!

choo chooo
What was that… do you hear it?
Choo Choooo
It can’t be…
CHOO CHOOOOOOOO!
No, not again… we just capped everything back..

Where was/is the NNK pain train this morning?

Here we go again…

Yes, it does. Now let’s get mad at rallies.

JoshuaRAWR.4653:

World Completion currently is 90% Solo/PvE based, and 10% World vs World based.

World Vs World needs to be removed from World completion, simply because it’s pigeon holing players that are working towards world completion, and are enjoying it, because they’re doing so at their own pace, however once you’ve completed all the zones and all that’s remaining is world versus world, you’re forced to be actively playing WvW content in order to get full completion.

You can still solo WvW map completion, it’s just a matter of waiting for your server to be the right color or cap a certain objective. You do not have to work with anyone, in extreme circumstances you also had/have the option of switching servers for a bit (yeah, I know this is an expensive and poor solution, but it is still an option). All of your problems would be solved if we rotated colors more often. Which would make WvW and PvE players happy.

JoshuaRAWR.4653:

Forcing players into content they do not enjoy is not a good marketing scheme.

It’s called WORLD completion for a reason. You are attempting to complete something, it may contain elements you do not fully enjoy. That is part of the battle with attempting to 100% anything. It is not something you are required to do, it’s a choice whether it’s for enjoyment, a legendary, a star, or a title.

MrChandMan.8253:

There is not one good reason for siege other than rams to despawn.

Playing the devil’s advocate here: It would make defending a lot easier and handicap sneak attacks and zergs that have been spotted.

If siege doesn’t despawn, how will we handle troll siege or incorrectly placed/useless prints?

Unfortunately there is not much you can do except send exactly what you have posted to exploits@arena.net. I have sent that similar exploit with screen shots and a guild mate of mine has even submitted video and there still hasn’t been even the slightest response in months. Not to sound pessimistic but at this point all I’m hoping for is that it gets so out of hand or someone posts a video of them doing it and it causes a public outcry and ANet is forced to respond to it, just like the east keep exploit.

If all goes well, within a couple weeks people will get used to it, wise up, and stop giving him the attention he craves. Maguuma used to have a pest problem but eventually people just completely ignored him, mocked him on voice comms, and went about our day.

It’s not really trash talk so much as strategies and how to handle us. I don’t see anything we do special other than defend our stuff, which apparently we’re not even doing well because we’ve been spoiled and just move BLs when it’s capped.

I know right now it kind of feels pointless to defend anything and walk yaks with groups that just use sheer numbers to take things. The good thing about them/this tier is that just like us, they don’t have 24/7 coverage. So softening their blows and doing the typical Maguuma turtle tactic is going to give us a chance when they decide it’s time to go take a dump on our BL or double team it.

I would love to focus on hitting DB more and holding things on their map but Yak’s keep showing up so it looks like it’s going to turn into the typical battle for second place while the first place server just rolls around because third is busy pressuring second. But the weekend is over so, who knows.

TLDR: Same old stuff.

Good fights so far, and good luck. Let’s get some fight clubs going because I’m already getting bored of defending against waves of BP.

GuardianOMS.8067:

I’ve read the opposite in the past and haven’t seen what you’re saying posted anywhere. Something everyone should realize is nobody is at their peak 24/7. But maybe this is just some dumb drama we should all let go.

Someone tell the Yak’s this so they can let Rebel know to stop posting essays on every single forum about us. I’m honestly more mystified by the fact that Yak’s have a five page thread on Maguuma and we have nothing.

zastari.1730:

Glad to see Rebel has moved from posting essays in the GW2 forums to posting them in Yaks Bend forums.

I like that once again he’s ranting about how everyone is incompetent and he is just the perfect little angel, knows everything, and could do no wrong.

Zerg zerg zerg

I just don’t understand why people cannot accept that some people are simply generalizing people on the basis of gender and blaming a system instead of the idiots harming others. You don’t like it, we get it. The "best solution” is to give people an option so that people that don’t like it can be happy. But over exaggerating the issue is not helping (not just you, but other posters are doing this).

Edit: People people people people

Am I the only person that assumes every feminine name is a guy, even if it’s something like Michelle Parker?

Skill lag is caused when your server has reached its potential of being recognized as ichiban. As you get closer to that goal, the skill lag increases until eventually, the game will pause all together and you will be unable to move. After that fireworks will come out of your hard drive to celebrate your glorious victory.

Reack.8795:

And as the OP said, if you’re female, you get unwanted attention, I’ve played enough MMOs and for long enough to know that most women that play them want their privacy…

Are you able to support this with facts or just your personal experience? Not trying to sound douchy, it’s an honest question.

You say this yet there are Yak’s and DB players chest thumping and degrading Maguuma. Please do not attempt to play innocent, everyone is guilty and contributing equally to this war.

Shanks.8793:

GuardianOMS.8067:

You can post screen shots, you just need to edit out everyone’s name.

Commanders can also tell players to add him to their ignore list and carry on. Or have people join the commander’s squad.

Well not going to post for now. Indeed that’s what we have been doing but the problem is each 5 mins someone who just got into WvW is caught in that trolling circle again.

I hope at least that Anet track that guy who got I’d say 50+ reports so far and deal with him for good.

Then let them. People love being trolled and arguing and if they aren’t mature enough to ignore it then imo people are simply allowing him to thrive. So all you can do is compile screen shots of his trolling (with his name and account name using the report feature) and submit a ticket.

Send it to exploits@arena.net. A video of the spot as you walk out of spawn is a bonus too.

You can post screen shots, you just need to edit out everyone’s name.

Ballista. Press 2 or 4. You’re welcome.

Are you asking ANet to account for player participation…?

wouw.5837:

the problem lies with the stalkerish people not with the friends list.

Took too long for someone to finally say this. That being said, I do actually think the block system needs to be reworked. If you block someone, you should appear offline/invisible to them at all times.

I don’t see the harm in a stalker knowing all your character names and account name though. If they are not messaging you, what harm is it? They are basically glaring at their computer screen, unable to do anything. Does the fact that they know the information bother you that much? If so, don’t use personal names for information.

Or did I miss some part of the op where some form of acual harassment is happening?

I’ve crafted chef on 4 characters with two bank tabs in addition to having 400 for every other profession. You can do it too.

5. This is pointless. All we need is practice dummies to show damage in combat logs.

Then it’ll all be lost again in another few hours.

cyyrix.6105:

GuardianOMS.8067:

ANet wants zergs. Deal with it.

You certainly live up to your name, Sgt. Killjoy. Thanks for your input!

ANet should just change its name to Killjoy then. ANet has stated they want massive groups of players and caters to the fact with their obvious neglect to small scale fights and servers. People have been complaining since launch saying the same things over and over, making the same threads over and over. ANet has not made any effort to realize the troubles of smaller groups and they have blatantly clear they intend not to.

Deal with it or switch to less zergy servers.

Also, this belongs in the suggestion subforum, that’s my real input.

ANet wants zergs. Deal with it.

Munkee.3542:

I’m requesting that Maguuma’s server be renamed to Pride Lands. The only time I’ve seen Maguuma in WvW is in one, big, giant, absurdly sized zerg that I swear everyone on their server is in. You find out where the zerg is, you go to the opposite side of the map, and then all of a sudden the stampede from The Lion King comes pouring over the hills and there’s nothing you can do because you evaporate and die faster than Mufasa. I feel like Simba every time I look up a hill or tower.

tldr; Maguuma is the stampede from The Lion King.

I can’t take anyone seriously that complains about Maguuma’s numbers when guilds like NNK and BP exist. And news flash, it’s the weekend! It pretty much goes hand in hand that you’ll run into nothing but zergballs. When Monday comes, your regularly scheduled roaming may resume. And throw in some fight clubs please.

And since we evaporate and die quickly you should be able to take us out and stop us completely right? ~looks at scoreboard~ Oh.. well…

Calvin.5380:

You Yak’s are so smart…. you waited patiently outside while my small pug group sieged that Mags tower, and when the gate was one hit away from going down, you rush in and kill us, claiming the tower for yourselves. I was mad at that moment, but gotta give credit where it’s due.

Well played!

You didn’t have scouts watching all sides while you were doing that?

Small group. 3 people in total. Un-organized. PUGs. Didn’t have the luxury of coordinating, communicating, assigning roles, whatever.

That’s not the point. The point is tactics, patience. The Yak’s could’ve killed us anytime. They chose to wait until the right moment.

That’s typical though. It’s called the “back dooring” or being vultures.

Richard Nixon.6573:

GuardianOMS.8067:

I think it’s cute that you guys care so much about Maguuma yet we don’t give a flying kitten about anyone else.

Of course we care <3

Not the good kind of caring. The people that thrive on unsubstantiated situations and use that as the base of their arguments to cast a negative lights on us. I know we’re apparently the troll server (no idea how THAT happened) but you guys make it too easy to do so when people are whining about things they can’t prove and know nothing about.

::puts on my Maguuma cheerleader outfit:: Gooooo MAGGIES!

I’m confused by this post and am not sure what to think about it eva.

That’s cute,

DB is having such a great time.

Yeah, Me thinks those who bailed to early are missing out on what we have had a blast with the last 4 weeks. Not sayin’ but just ;P

What do you mean?

Eva used to be in our guild and a commander on DB. She left to FA and was about a week too early before the fun we have had lately. So now I’m guessing she is a jealous cheerleader for MAG for some odd reason.

Jealous? No, not jealous. I left Dragonbrand because the only time anyone really comes out to play is when they are winning… When they’re not winning, a good chunk of them go to PvE. That, and the ‘raid times’ were far too late in the evening for me… 9pm on a weeknight? Nah. Wait til you get bumped up, or we get bumped down (probably not for quite a while)… and see how many get beaten back to Dungeons…

I went somewhere that I know more people, and even when we are losing we are still out playing. I am simply showing respect to the several folks on Maguuma that have the same fighting (even when they’re losing) spirit as FA. They may not be the ‘greatest’ – but – They have some kickarse people over there in my opinion.

You mean the same Maguuma that deliberately lost to get to T4 twice? So they could pvd their way around? I’m confused. That is quite the fighting spirit.

You guys still believe this? You’re freaking adorable.

Maguuma has always been a “fun first” server. We had no desire to fight TC, and rather than frustrate ourselves defending against 50man zerg balls 24 of the day, we had our own fun and kept defense to a minimum. But I understand believing what you said helps you feel better about yourself and your opinion of us, so please, continue.

I want to thank Yak’s for taking towers and keeps on Mag BL rather than their own while NNK were distracted with us. It really helped.

Chaoticzero.5310:

Good job defending our keep Maggies!

Yea, I’m not one to congratulate my own server on the forum. But it’s really nice to see we haven’t lost our edge after a month long vacation.

Edit: Also fighting the NNK pain train made we realise how much I missed fighting outnumbered. All of our forces are on our home borderland and we’re still outmanned. Wild.

Best guild NA

We’ve fought Yak’s before. A welcome is unnecessary but the sentiment is appreciated.

xxxzavulonxxx.8413:

There’s a difference between trolls and someone just telling it how it is.

When is the last time DB played in T2? I know when the last time I played there.

Why are you chest thumping so early in the thread? No one is going to give you respect about what tier you played in because we all regard tiers as a coverage/population game, that doesn’t really account for skill. Yeah, yeah, DB doesn’t have coverage for T2, a lot of servers don’t and some even choose not to, this isn’t news.

Post a video, collect tears. Love it.

PurpleBackpackAttack.1462:

saiyr.3071:

Yak’s Bend and Dragonbrand are going to double team us! I heard it from Sea of Sorrows!!!

Yeah right, DB bl getting Double teamed, by yaks and mag.
Fending off two 40+ man zergs inside our garison each hitting different gates. I’m pretty sure that’s the definition of double teaming, the cowards to afraid to fight server to server. I understand being jealous of our green power but seriously stop trying to be us, its not possible.

Sorry Mag you still belong in t4, and yaks you will never be green till DB goes to t2 or you go to t4.

AND WE’RE OFF!

CL is my new ESF.

Honnor.6295:

@ Sgt.Kill,

We missed you to be honest.

Well that’s not good…

CD is extremely weak during NA prime. I wouldn’t suggest there if that’s going to be the time slot you primarily play in. Unless you like being able to find fights, of course.

MosesZD.7428:

MosesZD.7428:

By which you admit you win by numbers. It’s been obvious as a coal-pile in a ball-room you simply out-cover SBI and CD combined, but at least it’s nice for someone on Mag to admit it..

You think you just won a victory there? There isn’t anyone on Mag who doesn’t admit that and hasn’t admitted that… Yes. We have the overall better coverage. Of course, right now, I’m pretty sure that CD has the best coverage for this time period, given where our team is at on CD borderlands. Near as I can tell, SBI has been taking advantage of the fact that CD is busy. A wise decision. But all I’m talking about here is overall scores and coverage.

As far as actual battles… Sometimes we win outnumbered, sometimes we have total zergs get wiped… Is there a surprise there? My belief has been that our overall (including our general population) is a little stronger than on most servers. But that was possibly truest a while ago when we first hit T3. I’m not sure of it anymore.

All the time mate, all the time. We constantly read the chest-beating in these forums how your ‘skill’ wins all your battles… When, in fact, you can just zerg the holy crap out of CD and SBI and do your 12-golem rushes against 10 defenders…

You sound an awful like Maguuma did back in our first matchup…

How can you expect us to prove that we can out skill you when you can’t even yield numbers to make it a fair fight? The golems are just an easy way to karma train because we know we’re not going to find fights on your BL. Also the majority of golems are coming from two players on our server, one who is just trying to get to max WvW rank and the other with deep pockets who is just throwing money around.

Saiyr, the ultimate forum warrior!

Thank you for attempting Garrison, East, West and north towers, CD.

Maguuma has been outmanned for the past hour on SBI BL. Why? Because ~7 Magrubbies are harassing a group of 25+ who have capped their entire BL with the exception of one camp and refuse to hit anything on Maguuma BL.

Please go for a keep on Mag. We currently have <15 people. Please do it, I believe in you.

Edit: I lie, we were on SBI BL because we were harassing CD.

Define, sizable

Solo defense approx 1AM on EB versus poor Crystal Desert.

Literally a 1v8 (only one or two upleveleds), dragged some back to guards, ended up stomping out about seven total.. too bad the others ended up rezzing and running back to zerg me

Anyways, was fun owning you poor CD’s…..

The only thing I see here is you dead

^

Yeah, what I see is one very dead MAG and multiple very alive CD….so these SS show your awesome ability to die 1v8….hell I can do that!

No you can’t. Pics or unedited video pls.

It’s one extra portal, less than 30secs of a loading screen…

Plus a minute of running from the PVP area to the portals.

It also is taxing on the LA server and the Mists servers. Putting them into overflow because players decide to do their business in LA.

Players need to be spread out into the other cities. By giving them free direct access to their home cities. This would also save Anet money by reducing the number of overflow servers.

What kind of computer are you playing on that it takes you a minute in the pvp areas? You have direct access to home cities. The fact that it takes one more portal than going to the main city shouldn’t make a difference. I never go to LA and avoid it at all costs. I’m always in The Grove or Hoelbrak. Never had an issue with getting there or worrying about “time costs”.

It has nothing to do with logic. I simply cannot fathom how you are playing the game to still be here complaining about support builds after the kill credit update. It’s a couple of auto attacks. I get just as many rewards as a dps class does because while my buffs are up, I press one a few times. My rewards are currently the same as a dps class right now thanks to the update.

What build and class are you playing that you have absolutely no time nor the ability to stop buffing/healing in order to use and AoE to tag?

It’s one extra portal, less than 30secs of a loading screen to get to a place people rarely go…

Time cost?
