Auri… you know me better than that. After said slapping occurs, I will happily eviscerate and plank that trout. Stuff it with some wild applemint and white pepper.
Then smoke it slowly, over some applewood for about 25 min. Sprinkle with a bit of that Fluer de Sel you are fond of. ;p. Mmmmm, trouuutt! I’m hungry now. -.- Thanks
Care to bring a Pino Gris? (Niagara of course)

You could at least euthanise it before slapping Hickeroar with it. That way it doesn’t experience unnecessary pain and discomfort before death.

No, Macc is the one getting slapped here, not me.

1) Yay aoe looting!
2) I want my cantrip stunbreakers back!
3) Give us a bloody fix for the inability to kick party members in WvW. This has been a known issue for like….a year now. It was reported in BETA, for pete’s sake. Give us real context menus please. This is just annoying.

How about we just forget the trout, and you give me the plank? I’ll just slap Macc with the plank and give it back to you. Much more effective.

I’m getting an uptick of hate messages from FA in /p.

Keep it coming, I love the laughs.

Do you need a re-supply of grumblecakes to send to your admirers Cryptic?
“Say it with cookies, fresh from the Tarnished Coast Ovens, with Luffs!”

This sounds like a much better solution….

Keep a supply of cookies and just mail one to trolls when they party add you. :P

As a NA player, I was rooting for TW to at least win some rounds. although it didn’t happen, I thought TW fought valiantly (/respect). Be that as it may, the response above speaks bluntly to the reality: EU GvG is more competitive than NA. And that probably will translate to the WvW battlefield.

in NA, most (all) GvG guilds are awful at WvW combat in the open field. that’s why they started GvGing.

RG is definitely good at both, and are one of the few that can actually claim this. the rest are just shameful.

Have they given thought to training other guilds, or would that go against their goals? I’d love to be in a training session with them.

Such an unethical and inhuman method of handling and utilising a trout, your animal care committee would be ashamed,. (Country specific joke :P)

Countless yaks murdered inhumanely every day, and you’re worried about a trout? Besides, I plan on slapping people with that trout. I need it. It’s worth it!

Wasn’t directed at EP specifically, You guys were fun to fight. It was you guys we were battling in TCBL if I remember correctly. I know there was a lot of militia running with the guild group we ran into a lot, I dunno if that was by design or just because we were trying to ninja bay and hills and got spotted, but either way it made for some epic fights, albeit against some long odds. I don’t really mind getting beat, and had a blast on EB later battling the TC hordes at the gate of our spawn (and later spearheading the assault to take our keep back by getting into inner and guiding in the treb shots…and smacking some acs) on both my newbie ranger and my thief.

The only thing that got to me all night was when the tc zerg outside our spawn was flash building sup acs earlier in the day. I don’t think EP was even on in force at that time.

Ah, we may have been tagged up for that part, then, if there were militia or other guilds with us. I don’t recall.

As far as “siege” spawn camping goes….unless it’s troll rams, that’s just dirty tactics, imho.

I feel like if you can’t beat someone without siege in the open field….then you can’t beat them in the open field. At that point you should try some other, more creative tactics such as avoidance, diversion, deception, etc. I think it’s obvious ANet doesn’t feel the same way, but I guess to me it’s a matter of honor or something.

TCBL – Gods Zerg. Fun fights, hope to see you guys again soon

Those fights were tons of fun. You caught us napping once, and we took a beating for sure. You guys had SO MANY PEOPLE, Watching you guys crash into us was like trying to stop a tsunami with an umbrella.

KN im on TC and so far you have met us in the field and fought with us. You don’t have 5000000 AC’s defending a tower like FA. You guys have been the best fights this whole week. I look Forward to fighting yall. Points don’t REALLY matter anymore. Its mostly about having FUN!!! If you can have fun your good!

I find this statement to be painfully ironic coming from someone on TC. I’m sure you guys needed those superior arrow carts you were building in the open field and all over every tower and keep to defend against a force 1/3 the size of your zerg. Unlike other servers I will not call out, FA rarely flash builds siege in open field fights. In fact the only time I have ever seen FA build siege in zerg vs zerg fights was last night when we were trying to push your stupidly massive zerg off our spawn with a fraction of the people you were fielding.

I don’t care how you choose to play, but throwing stones from your glass house shows a hilarious lack of class.

EP was running an untagged guild-only zerg for those fights with you guys. I think our numbers were at like 30-35 at the time, which is probably the most we’ve fielded simultaneously as a guild-only-group so far. We’re kinda going though a honing stage right now, and growing a core composition instead of raw numbers.

As far as open field ACs go…I bloody hate them. Our guild as a whole doesn’t really count a “win” as a “win” if there are ACs on the field. Sucks that some people are still trying this tactic, but hopefully they quit. Those things have no place in the open field. :-/ If you see EP building ACs in the field, you can feel free to call us on it (provided they’re not in response to other ACs built by opponents). xD

As far as defending a structure goes: All bets are off. Build as many ACs are you can manage.

Whats the point of queue?

Honestly, I haven’t seen lag at all since the second round of improvements they made.

Come hang over on Tier 1, see what the fuss is all about

I dunno, i still see plenty of skill lag, etc, in T2, myself. Any big keep fight is rife with it, and it happens all the time in EBG.

Not entirely sure why we have a DB person and a JQ person bickering in our matchup thread. Both of you shoosh please – or go to your respective matchup threads and stalk each other. xD

Thanks for the fights this evening SoR/JQ in BG bl, the engagements with NYS and ATM were great with a lot of bags for both sides. kitten , it was tight in some of the engagements- i.e. bay being swiss cheese. Thanks for coming out in open field guys.

Here is some footage of the fights we’ve had in the past few days; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiVZPQ8JOZ4&feature=player_embedded

RE wouldn’t doesn’t operate like that. We have been a large WvW guild since head start from Darkhaven. We are a proud WvW Focused guild who will not tolerate something like that.

Unlike RE’s new TS buddy full blooded.

But anyways, even people on the side with more PPT don’t even look at the PPT, a lot of us are here for the open field battles. And even though our 40-50 man zerg wiped against a 70-80 man zerg FA a couple times in EB, we had chances to win, even if outnumbered like that we’ve done it before. But I think the militia will know more of what to expect next time with maneuvering, sticking together and whatnot. GJ to all, have fun.

That was a 35man FA zerg. Just an fyi.

You may be takling about another night, RE doesnt loose against evenly manned fights, atleast not open feild fights. Not even SoR would fight us without Arrow Carts in the open field. Not trying to sound kitteny, but I havent seen a FA Zerg during primetime with merely 35 people in it. RE wipes, FA has wiped us but I have yet to see a WvW guild that can wipe RE as a guild with even numbers. To back it up have any FA guild whisper Ethersin for a friendly GvG with even numbers.

Lol you think you could take on TW or TSYM? LOL

EP/CERN/RE wiped TSYM and FEAR quite a few times when we were against them two weeks ago. TW unfortunately was a no-show that week. Would love to have fought them, just for the experience of it.

Last night FIRE and rB had some of the best synergy I’ve seen worked from two guilds on a non reset night that I’ve been apart of, except for the infamous WE DID IT. Seemed like Warsock and Haniko were mind reading

I would really like TC and DB’s NA to face off against each other soon. I’m sure some epic fights would ensue.

We have 70+ man zergs o.O??

I guess wiping to those kinds of numbers makes it easier to cope with.

It’s really just that one commander it seems. Novus (sp?), still repping VK.

/shrug

RET did have a pretty big group on reset, and that was a lot of fun. They wiped our ~25 EP group a few times, but they weren’t big enough to deal with CERN and EP when we fought together.

I think he’s referring to the Novus/danelon megazerg. Those are -always- 80-man megazergs, and we can always tell when it’s him…for various reasons.

Yes this match-up kind of blows for morale, but I think it is important to remember that even if Kaineng finishes dead last this week, we can still gain rating points here! We are not supposed to win this matchup, in fact every point we do take is a win.

Yes it might feel overwhelming to face TC with their superior numbers and so many of our old friends fighting on their side, but it is not a useless fight by any means. It is just time to whip out the Guerrilla tactics. Take that camp. Kill those Dolyaks. Spend this week training for future matches. Don’t look too closely on the overall score, focus on accomplishing the small things, and take pride in doing that.

I have heard of some seriously awesome fights so far this match, so it is really worth while logging in, even though the overall score looks kind of lop sided.

And I hope that everyone can get over the fact that we are now facing friends in the field. No one predicted this, so let’s make the best of the hand dealt. We in Dii also lost several of our core WvW-ers to TC, but you wont see us giving up or hating on the people who opted to leave Kaineng. Nor will you see any Dii-ers “spying” on Kaineng (or on TC), everyone is just playing to have fun and experience the game the best they can.

Even so, Kaineng is still considered to be the worst WvW server because we kinda lack effective strategy dealing with zergs that greatly outnumber us, the lack of people participating in Kaineng WvW, the inability to control our own borderland (heck our kittening garrison got captured numerous times), commanders who have no kittening idea what they are doing or the priorities of controlling important locations (if the garrison or the main EB keep is captured, retaking it is the highest priority no matter what); and of course, Ajax Blue.

I’m planning to transfer away from Kaineng because Kaineng makes it really difficult to do WvW map exploration which I really need for 100% map completion for one character. And considering that Kaineng is stuck on the color red like three to four times in a row, it kinda shows how much fail Kaineng is in WvW.

Wait what? Worst?

I would certainly not call Kaineng the worst. Not by a long shot.

Whats the point of queue?

in WvW

Posted by: Hickeroar.9734

Hickeroar.9734

There is no point, because GW2 does not have queues. Players are put in random clusters that the game then take random groups of players from when WvW go below a certain percentage of full.

And this has nothing to do with skill lag.

This. All of this. The queue is a joke, seeing as it’s not a ‘first-in-first-out’.

It’s more like “WTK! I’ve been in queue for an hour and yours pops in 15 minutes!?”

Pretty much this.

The queuing system is utterly, horribly broken as it stands.

What do you do if not in a Zerg?

The goal of roaming and small-groups has to be “fun.” As it stands, it’s not monetarily viable to do anything other than zerging, but I prefer fun over funds.

you mentioned that what they are doing is no different from what TW is doing.

That isn’t quite what I said Fade. You comment here has much more magnitude than what I actually said. I said there wasn’t much different, no where did I say we were exactly the same the way he implied or without difference as you implied by phrasing it with ‘no difference’.

What I said both allows for and acknowledges difference, whereas what both you and he responded with does not. This is quite a large difference in meaning. Normally I wouldn’t point things like this out, but since it was used by him to fabricate disrespect and drama out of thin air when absolutely none was intended, I feel like I have no choice.

Just an fyi Covenn, that’s a different Fade, not the original from Guinevere :P

Can I be Fade too?

I know another fade in-game as well. I should invite him to this thread just to see what happens. xD

Hey guys, stopped in for some reads and noticed some dragonbrand confusion. CO did join rB making a really solid WvW guild. RE/FIRE merged making another. Our server is not dying. Getting more and more motivated and coordinated everyday. Coming from Blackgate this is the most fun I have ever had. I can’t wait to get matched up with you guys again. Win or loose my guild learns something new every time and we will be here for fights not matter what.

On a side note, it would be nice if people stopped trying to recruit us from all the other solid servers. Let us grow and give you more competition. The more you stack into these top 3/4 servers the less fun it is for you. Anyone looking for a real challenge in a peaceful great community. HMU! <3 much love.


Warsock, Leader of Reckless Bravery [rB]

Please do NOT let CO leave that server. Keep them there.. Worst case scenario send them anywhere but SoR. Thanks in advance.

CO really fell apart after Mayoken’s vacation. From another source I learned that after he moved to TC to be with RE, many members split off and moved to various servers like BG and SoR like me. The remainder I believe are now in rB. The guild was in its prime in Kaineng but after our move to DB activity dropped,

Weird. He talked & trolled TC a lot during DB’s initial foray into T2. I would be genuinely shocked if he came to TC. :/

Maybe if we got Gellor, then it would even out.

Mayo is in Rethesis on TC

My sincerest apologies to TC

Eh, I’m not worried about it. Rethesis has had a completely drama-free transition to our server, and seem like super cool guys.

’Sides, people can change. Sometimes a change of scenery is exactly what the doctor ordered.

Tarnished coast is pretty stacked in NA. I don’t think we could handle 400 more without people transferring off to get away from queue times.

IMHO: DB, FA, or SoS.

Stay away from T1 servers, and TC (since our NA is quite stacked already).

Would’ve preferred a new matchup, this fight is getting dull as the weeks go by.

Just be glad you have fights at all. :-/

The remnants of what were T2 and below are just dull dull dull now. TC is stuck in some weird T1.5 limbo while there’s no lower ranked server that can even come close to creating a real challenge at this point…yet we’re clearly not ready for T1 due to some significant coverage holes during SEA and Oceanic (and a bit in EU).

Argh. This new matchup system is ruining everything. We’re queuing 3-4 maps a night right now so we can wander around doing almost nothing.

Then Stop FLippin recruiting, don’t blame the new system because you would just stomp Dragonbrand and Fort aspenwood anyways, Tarnished Coast did this to themselves nobody said you had to get RE or the CD SEA guilds but you had tooo recruit more. Either leave the server or don’t complain about stomping when you were the ones who caused it.

There really wasn’t a lot of recruiting. Most of it was just guilds expressing interest and then moving over.

Give me a break, TC recruited to become a T1 server. All the guilds that transferred to TC also came to talk to JQ, but you paid them more gold than we could and they went to TC instead. To say they “just came over” is BS and you know it.

Now TC isn’t a T1 server and you over-recruited for T2, it’s your own fault.

Well, it may be BS, but I don’t know it. I haven’t heard of any active recruiting personally. Guess I shouldn’t say it “didn’t happen” though. :-P I’ll take your word for it.

Also, the other T2 servers lost a ton of players too, so it’s not entirely that we have too many. BT and VK moving off FA, now Agg, no one exactly knows the status of RE (DB) and CO, etc.

Exactly so what’s happening is that FA and DB are slowly moving closer and closer to the t3-4-5-6 mega tier where every server in those tiers were nearly equal or close enough to be competitive so the one server remaining from t2 which would still stomp t3 servers, because FA and DB don’t stomp t3 servers they just win by comfortable margins is Tarnished Coast. Obviously you should be proud that you established a solid community in which guilds don’t want to transfer off which is good but to complain that there’s no competition left well TC can control that.

Fair points, well taken.

Is there really a full thread page dedicated to this? Just report it and move on. Back when VK was on FA, they openly admitted they would glitch under lords rooms in towers (or in other places on the map) and kill NPCs from there. It was pretty public knowledge. People reported them. Not sure why that’s so hard now.

Also: Blaming an entire server for something one person MIGHT have done….is just nonsensical. I report TC exploiters when I see them…and I’m on TC.

I have never once completed it. After being ganked halfway by mesmers and thieves 3 or 4 times, I said “screw it.” I’ve been ported to the end by a mesmer 3 times, but that’s it.

The fact that you can invest 25 minutes in that thing only to get ganked right at the end is just insanity to me. Stupid game design.

I actually would appreciate if [RE] would pay for their server transfers before using gems they buy for other things first. TC is a welcoming server. You will have zero problem finding help to recover the gold, and we can also craft for you if you supply some of the materials. (Some, not all are necessary)

It might be a better idea to address your concerns with [RE] directly to them on our community forums.

What happens sometimes is that the upgrade keeps going but it doesn’t show the status bar. Check to the upgrades guy if it has been paid or not

the supplies was full for over 2 hours …. workers up and healthy but not moving

You have to talk to the workers to get them moving again. Just walk up to them and hit F.

I know it’s completely lame and broken, but it’s the “workaround.”

I also realize that this probably looks like a troll reply, but I promise, it’ll fix it.

[Agg] has officially transfered off of DB! We would like to thank everyone in DB for our stay there. We have moved to JQ for more constant fights. Good luck to DB in the future, we in Agg wish DB all the best in their future endeavors.

GL on JQ. Sad to see you go. I think it’s safe to say that ANet has utterly screwed over the entire idea of server balancing with the matchup changes. I’d love for TC to get a pile of SEA/Oceanic/EU transfers so we can compete with T1 in those slots, and then we’d have a real mixup every week for “T1” level fighting.

It’d be bloody amazing to fight Agg regularly.

My style is blunt and I call a stick a stick. Whatever I say is the tip of the iceberg. For your reference.

They all paid just as much for the game as anyone else. They can play it where and how they want. No one swears an oath to their MMORPG Server….

The RET fights have been awesome. So nice to be challenged after last week. We’re sloppy as hell at the moment after not having very many good ZvZ opportunities last week, haha.

Also, RET: You’re totally stealing our game in north camp. Zombies: EP Original Entertainment™.

25th June Patch Notes

I wont believe it till anet posts it. But counterpoint to the unprecedented multiple nerfs to the same weapon set:

Anet has said that this is the first MAJOR balance patch so I would expect several nerfs/buffs to same weapons.

Skill and Trait Balance Update

“We’re introducing our largest balance patch ever in this build, which includes significant updates to traits and skills to introduce more viable build diversity. Every single profession trait line is seeing changes and we’ve also made updates to some less popular skills to improve their effectiveness.”

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/june-25-2013/

Of course one could argue that this is evidence that it’s fake, because compared to the weapon and skill changes listed, there’s relatively little attention paid to (or information about) actual trait line changes.

Anyone know what “Aftercast” is?

Yes, its the delay before you can activate another skill…

Those, ‘leaked’ notes are internal notes, so are worded differently from the official notes which will appear on the forums soon, they use delay in official notes…

So aftercast = delay…

those patch notes are obviously fake
:facepalm:

If they are, and they very well may be, ANet are probably laughing their heads off at this thread right now.

Some of it I hope is true, some of it I hope is fake fake fake.

If it’s false, it definitely took a lot of effort to accomplish.

I won’t deny that it took a lot of effort, it doesn’t change that it’s fake…

It’s just not how ANET balances classes.

The notes are very similar to what they said in the last SOTG meeting…

That doesn’t make it real. The person who made these up obviously has a relatively good understanding of the current meta but it’s still obvious that it’s fake.

Not saying you’re wrong, but what specifically makes you think it’s fake?

I’ve seen leaked patch notes before since I play diablo 3.

Even for “informal” inhouse patch notes they’re TOOOOO informal. The writing style is basically like an average joe like one of us. Who the hell uses -> arrows even for a tentative patch note?

Multiple nerfs to the same weapon set. Pretty much unprecedented. Nerfs weapon sets that aren’t overpowered, yet buffs the overpowered ones.

Nerfed weakness way too much for PvE. Weakness actually got nerfed in its current state.

Torment is way too underwhelming for how much it was hyped up.

Can’t deny, that’s a pretty compelling set of arguments.

Guild API feature requests

Things I want to see on the guild API (some of these may be dependent on the OAuth system completion):

Member List
Upgrades (and buff activations?)
Currency Information (influence, merits, etc)
Member list with online/offline status
Member last online date
Member last rep date
Guild Chat (eventually? please?)

Since the in-game guild tools are somewhat lacking, the ability to write an informational app for use by guild leaders would be great. Roster management/maintenance/culling is pretty much impossible in-game at this point.

Hey Hick!

In DIS we use the achievements leaderboard for roster maintenance. If you login you can filter it by guild. If you hover over peoples points it gives the date they last earned a point. This isn’t very practical with a large guild, but what you can do is append ?pjax=1 to the URL and you get an ugly table, but one that includes the date you can just copy/paste into something else.

For DIS the exact procedure is:
Copy the table into a text editor
Search and replace " Since " with a tab character (puts the dates in a column by themselves)
Search and replace " PDT" with nothing (allows google spreadsheet to recognize it as a date).
Copy and paste into a google docs spreadsheet.
You need a bit more editing for anybody in the top 1000 as they’ll have an extra column.
Then we sort by date and anybody who hasn’t gained an achievement point in the past month gets set to an inactive rank.
If we see anybody at the inactive rank online we promote them (just in case somebody manages to play without ever getting an achievement point).
Next time we do this, anybody still at inactive is removed.

We do this twice a month. It’s a pain, but it works.

Thanks for the procedure! I’ll pass this along to the “appropriate parties.”

Anz is hard to defend and feels so frickin far from spawn. I like Mendons for the interesting layout. I find the last stands at Mendons usually turn out pretty epic.

Yeah, that bridge is a brilliant choke. You can hold of 2-3x your number with intelligent AoE and CC.

I prefer red portion in EB. However, people need their map completion so it’d be nice to be blue/green every so often.

Yeah :/

I dunno what it is about Red in EBG, but it’s just SO much fun. It has the two worst towers in the game (Mend and Anz), but I find that fun. OW is a pain in the neck to defend from attacks coming out of Ogres, though.

SoS just wants to be not Red!!!!!

Red, for some reason, is TC’s favorite place to be. We love it.

I hate being Blue/Green
