Guild Wars 2

I just want footsteps on my meteorlogicus. :-/

This also seems like a great time to bring up that the precursor math is mind-bogglingly horrid. Some of the legendaries are barely more than twice the price of their respective precursors at this point. That’s ridiculous. Defined path, please. kthxbai.

Good luck FA!

To my fellow TCers, brace yourselves this maybe worse than prime Kain. For the toast!!!

We’re trying to get there to help. You’re still FULL!! What are all of you doing on there!? Back away from the cookies and go to bed already

We have a staggeringly massive PvE crowd. I’d love to see some old KN crew join up with us though!

Usagi – I’m going to die of “cute.”

The reason i love being on TC is because we crush peoples dreams. Kaineng fell few weeks ago and now its your turn to fall.

Man I’ve waited literally day’s to quote this. Hahahaha!!!!

I assure you this isn’t a pervasive attitude on TC. We and FA do seem to be something like T1 gatekeepers, but watching KN fall was downright depressing. The last thing I ever want to see again is for a server to implode. Keep it up guys! T2 is the place to be!

Which server in tier 2 has the best NA and best guilds?

Best NA is anyone’s game. It all depends on who has a better lead in from euro prime time. In terms of best guild, well I think it’s been we’ll established that BT from FA is the strongest/scariest in the tier, though each server has their strong guilds.

Agg is rather scary too. I’d like to know who comes out on top of an Agg vs BT fight.

That said, I’ve been in CERN and PiNK zergs that have wiped BT zergs, and been in a CERN/EP zerg that wiped Agg a couple times. KH is also a bloody powerhouse I’d never want to go up against.

I think we have some very powerful guilds, but it’s rare that I get the opportunity to see them face off against the big contenders from other servers.

In any case, BT and Agg are both very skillful, no doubt about that.

Agg is probably the best enemy guild that I’ve seen currently on tier 2. They are super fun to fight against in zerg fights because they have a great commander(s) and people who listen to that commander.

Go TC!

I think you are selling BT short…. Agg is awesome but I put BT right there

Can’t disagree. BT is great. There is just something about Agg fights that are really fun for me.

I really think it just comes down to a change in style. Agg has a different “feel” in fights. I think we’ve grown accustomed to how BT “feels” in ZvZ fights, and Agg are some nice, new blood.

So, TVB has arrived on FA

Welcome aboard! Hope you enjoy your stay! ♥

So when TC wouldn’t pay for TVB’s transfer they came to FA instead?

Well, we didn’t pay for them either.

That’s good

Sorry for the needed clarification……TC(some benefactor) did offer to “assist” with our move, a nice healthy amount. WE turned it down. (I personally glad we did.)
As I stated in another post we were looking for various things in a server and found what we wanted/needed on FA, so we farmed our own gold and moved over 30+ players over to FA and have enjoyed each day here thus far.

TY Eva, you all have been very welcoming to us….see you out on the map!

Wait wait wait… so I have to kill you and Kittidel now? This is not cool! >:O

WAIT WAIT…..no…..don’t kill us! *points at TC. You’d kill a Baby and a Kitti? Granted this Baby and Kitti carry big swords but that is just for….uh….trimming our nails.

ps: I like pickles.

Glad to see FA getting a fresh injection. What happened to Viking Jorun? Did she decide to take a break from the game or something?

We (EP) saw several TVB players out in FABL last night. Thinking of which, we had a ton of fun staging those north-camp fights. Some of those went on for a good 20 minutes. Our little group held you all off in Garrison for quite a while as well. Really fun fights! Looking forward to more!

In other news, DB seems to have opened a can of WA-40 the past two nights. Dat SEA coverage! I think the news of DB’s death was greatly exagerrated.

In other other news…..I freaking love Agg. Great attitudes, beastly on the field of battle. <3

DeadlySynz.3471:

I’d prefer they remove the tick siege as well and just institute an ammo system for all siege. Either make it cost 1 supply per 1 shot, or have a separate ammo camps that can be taken over for ammo.

1 supply per shot would make siege utterly non-viable for defense.

Julie Yann.5379:

How about 6hrs whether is is being tapped or not? You build it last 6hrs, you could be on it firing at the enemy and when that 6hrs comes up it despawns. 6hrs might be too much but the idea is better than having to tap it all the time.

Funnily enough, I suggested the same exact thing earlier in the thread. Most siege is getting reapplied far more than 4 times a day anyway, so 6 hours makes sense to me.

kyro.8162:

How about Anet removes the siege timers, and add a new skill to all the siege like skill 6 or something. That skill would be called something like “remove siege.” And when used, the siege has one tick to it. Once it gets 10 ticks from 10 different players, it would be removed and in its place 10 supply. That way, armies can recycle supply (go green!) and people can prevent siege grieving. The chances of sabotaging another server would be lower as it would require 10 people to remove key sieges.

I like this idea. Most troll-proof alternative I’ve seen yet.

I was there too throwing fireworks. I got killed by a fa guy while throwing fireworks at him. I stayed to watch you smash them and then you cried over my dead body. Great end to my night in eternal

Not quite yet ask your forces that made it to citedal lords room for confirmation …

I’m fairly certain that if the Citadel even has such a room, there haven’t been many enemies in it lately. Some did get into the Garrison but I assume their framerates eventually dropped below zero and caused them to arrive at their point of departure.

You’ve never seen the citadel lord room? Oh yeah, it’s right there next to the EBG Borderland JP Lord Room. /nodnod

Haha I was one of the two FIRE guys who joined your fireworks parade! Me and my friend couldn’t stop laughing. We were ganking people and I freaked out when I saw a big zerg coming but my friend told me to come back. Next thing I know we were running around with fireworks with the enemy. Never knew treason could be so much fun :P

Haha, we had a group rule: “If they pick up fireworks, we don’t kill them.” There were about 15 of us EP, btw. Does that count as a zerg? Because zerg fireworks OP.

I just hope the wvw infusions work on the other ascended items we already farmed for

They use infusion slots from normal ascended gear, you’re good!

Also they will cost a combination of both laurels and badges (at a discounted laurel cost) but we’re also adding more WvW achievements to the achievement categories to make it easier for WvW players to earn their laurels doing nothing but WvW.

A combination of laurels and badges? Why does everything in this game have to be gated when it comes to ascended gear?

I have guildies who have been saving up badges for ascended, hell, I’ve been saving up badges for ascended. We’re what this measure is supposed to stop, I guess, but it’s unnecessary. The only gate that should exist is the acquisition of badges. I have a guildie who has put 2000 hours or so into WvW, and virtually nothing into PvE, and they have 13000 badges. Do they not deserve to get something out of their 13000 badges? So what if they get the gear immediately? PvE players have had this gear since November.

Even laurels are annoying to WvW-only players, because many of them (I’d say 30-40% at least) require you to do at least some PvE to complete them.

C’mon Anet, I’ve waited 6 months for ascended in WvW, and now you’re going to make me wait at least another month or two to farm laurels in order to be on the same level as players who have had this gear since November? This is just as outrageous as adding the gold cost to exotic gear in WvW, when PvE players doing dungeons MAKE gold while getting exotics, whereas we have to spend the gold we make and the badges we make?

I was excited about this update until now, too.

I’m level 30 FOTM and big into both PvE and WvW. People in PvE max out their berserker gear (for the most part). Personally, I still don’t have ascended for most of the builds I use in WvW for my ranger. Just run exotics, you’ll be fine. Almost every battle in wvw is decided based on timing and positioning, not on who’s got ascended and who doesn’t. Ascended is just there to make people feel like there’s a gear progression, you know, the grinders out there. In reality, a ~10% bonus on a few pieces of gear just, it’s almost inconsequential.

How much you want to bet the best guilds and pvp players could wear rare stats and still beat average players fully decked out in everything ascended?

As an example of this “artificial” stat boost, I have the “all stats” Ancient Karka Shell accessory. It gives me +25 on all stats. I also have the “all stats” ascended piece. It gives me +26 on all stats.

That’s a TINY boost in the overall scheme of stats. We’re talking 10 more HP.

The fuss over Ascended gear is just that. Fuss. It’s just a push to get the “best,” regardless of the fact that it’s inconsequential.

That said…I still have 5/6 possible ascended pieces and am working toward my last accessory. BiS is BiS for us grinders! :P

So will score update threads become obsolete now that live scores are available for all servers at http://mos.millenium.org/na/ ???

“The MoS Matchups tools has improved with the new API from Arena.net.

Now, with this API, scores are tracked every minutes and the site displays live matches result. The number of Camps, Towers and Keeps owned by a server are also available.

In addition, a new live map for each matchup is available. This map is updated every 15 seconds and logs each events so you can now find out what happend on your WvW battlefield. Objective names can be displayed on your own language.

The previous submission and validation system has gone. "

It was pretty much ignored for 10 months… in which a very high % of hardcore pvpers left the game… hopefully this is not a case of too little too late.

The game has only been out for 8 months. They’ve actively been making changes to it for two months now, which means they’ve been working on those changes for a lot longer than that.

For my part (and I think most of my guild agrees) I don’t really think DB is going to Tier 1 with her current coverage formula. Even if she did, it would probably take the better part of a month anyway. TC is a stronger server than a lot of people in DB have faced yet, and I don’t think that was fully realized after our first match in T2. TC makes a great gatekeeper to Tier 1.

This post makes me proud to be on TC – thanks for saying this. Wanted to also point out that FA does a heckuva good job in T2 as well. I wouldn’t say any single server is a T1 gatekeeper; each server in T2 kicks butt. T2’s current matchup is awesome, competitive, and fun, and any time you’re in a tier where any of the three servers can win (and have won!) the week… Well, I think we should all consider ourselves pretty lucky.

I dont think you appreciate how scarred the “old guard” was by TC when you came to t3. FA was bad but you were worse. No disrespect intended to FA.

Someone mentioned something about how Db never got to see how well we would have done without the transfers in T2. Considering we were bottom ppt during NA in T3 when our opponents mobilized hard, Im pretty sure I can imagine what would have happened. It would not have been pretty.

Both TC and FA whupped on us during NA prime when you were floating between t2-t3. This forged a lot of server pride when week after week, even though there was no real end in sight before sos collapsed, there were dedicated NA guilds out there fighting.

Truthfully I think FA and TC are looking a gift horse in the mouth when it comes to the server transfers to DB. The new guilds have made T2 the most competitive and most fun tier in WvW.

Heck no. I love T2, and I’m glad we still have some healthy competition going on!

Also, we love KH. Like…love love. Like……love love love. Those of us who have run with them in mumble and had them on the map understand fully how great they are. They have a great attitude and great skill. They’re another of our guilds I’m so glad I don’t have to face in a head-on fight.

A lot of our medium-sized guilds could take lessons from how KH does things.

Srsly though, guys. Even if all changes aren’t well received, it’s really great to see WvW getting some love lately. Keep up the great work.

Cool. Thanks much for the response! I look forward to that blog post.

WvW Matchup Changes!
World vs. World matches are about to get an injection of variety! With these changes you can look forward to facing new opponents in new matchups and testing your world’s skill against more foes!

ANet: Please explain what this means. It’s terribly vague, and frankly worries the heck out of me.

I acknowledge that things are probably too static in the tiers (especially at lower ranked tiers), but I don’t think it’s unfair to ask for a better explanation than this.

Thanks!

The overall sense of accomplishment in this game, the value of PPT

If you really think that, you’re doing it wrong. PPT is ~90% population\coverage and has nothing to do with how well anyone actually plays. Stressing over the things you cannot control (population\coverage) is what leads to servers falling apart.

Anyone who has faced BT in open field combat should agree with this. Same goes for Agg.

They’re tough as nails, and very skilled. PPT may not always reflect that.

ganeshori.6309:

I dunno….dont think TC has crushed our, (FA’s) dreams. Actually, I dont think we have any “dreams”. We pretty much like to kill people and break stuff…and we seem to be doing fairly ok at it.

But seriously guys…..can we just chill on the “he said, she said” stuff. Doesnt matter who gets who to join a server or such….as long as you have someone to kill and something to break,….its all gravy.

And I love gravy.

This. Just simmer down. Yes, DB is getting transfers. Yes, FA has in the past. Yes, TC has in the RECENT past. WHO CARES? It happens.

Good for DB. They’ve built a good looking server that guilds are choosing to flock to. Good on ‘em. If they go T1, it’s a job well done on all fronts. If they don’t…we have stiff competition here in T2 which we all love. Without that, it gets boring.

As much as we all jab at each other, I’ve got respect for the skill and dedication I see coming out of both DB and FA. They’re both great servers, and T2 is a wonderful tier to be in.

Even though TC and FA have a long-standing rivalry, one wonderful thing about both of our servers is that we NEVER quit, and we take our defeats as more of a reason to get back up and kick tail. /respect

Repair bills have been astronomical this weekend… I guess we’re experiencing the full might of TC, now that their PVE/college population is back in WvW…

Hope you enjoyed your stay in Tier 2.

Don’t be that guy.

Yeah for real. I think DB is just burnt out from pushing too hard. In any case, great fights so far everyone!

its not that db is burt out most of certain wvw guilds have been farming gold to assist other guilds (coming soon) in getting to db

I’m not “hiding” anything, I’m just pointing out that it’s not like DB just has some giant war chest and we’re bribing all these guilds. What’s happening is people are choosing to come here and some of the WvW guilds already here are helping them out with their transfer fees. If someone considers that dishonorable or cheap I don’t really know what to tell them. I might laugh though.

That being said, I love how DB is still getting all the negative attention despite TC’s observable population increase. They weren’t “full” two weeks ago, but I don’t see people saying they deserve to be disrespected for it.

Tell me what massive recruitment effort has TC undertaken over the past two weeks and how many and what WvW guilds have we gotten here in that time? but i think you’ll find that question hard to answer because you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about

I like how you conveniently include “over the past two weeks” in there.
TC got plenty of transfers, just not as recently as we did.

Also, maybe worth noting couple months ago myself, other officers in my guild, and my guild leader, were all very subtly and privately approached by various representatives of different TC guilds all trying to butter us up and get us to transfer off DB and into TC.
And if my tiny little can-barely-put-more-than-10-people-in-wvw-on-any-night-but-reset guild was getting attention from TC, I would wager we were far from the only ones.

So let’s not pretend TC doesn’t recruit, just like every other server.

If you would actually read the conversation you were replying to the time frame give for Tc going to “full” status was two weeks, thus why i chose two weeks. Nice try.

He still has a point. DB is getting all kinds of crap for recruiting guilds so they can compete in T2. It doesn’t really matter to me what people respect or not, you can’t compete if you don’t have the population.

I didn’t bring up TC being full to deride them, I’m just pointing out that no one has… well, pointed it out. DB is getting pooped on because people are transferring there and I don’t really think that’s fair, and I highly doubt that TC has never ever ever gotten any transfers. I just think it’s silly to look down on another server for that reason. If people want to play on @@server@@, they have every right. They paid their $60 and their transfer fee just like the rest of us. You don’t have to like it, but to come on the forums and make a big deal out of it is just childish.

Now let’s go sit by the fire and sing Kumbaya or something. This pointless angst is making my head hurt.

That being said, I love how DB is still getting all the negative attention despite TC’s observable population increase. They weren’t “full” two weeks ago, but I don’t see people saying they deserve to be disrespected for it."

What you said explicitly states you think TC should be scrutinized for its server status going to full in the same that DB is for being a bandwagon destination. How is this anything other than an attempt at derision. It’s fine if it is but don’t play so innocent.

For the record:

TC took mountains of flak when they started getting transfers about a month ago. That’s all done now, but TC definitely got trolled pretty hard when we got 5-6 guilds from CD and 1 from FA.

TC has traditionally been one of the first servers to go “full.” Historically it was one of the ones that almost always stayed full before the pop-cap increase of a few months ago.

That said, we didn’t have an influx of WvWers. Your first two weeks in the tier were two burnout weeks for us. There aren’t any new guilds here that weren’t here before that, and the players are all familiar faces.

Looks like the DB night crew is back at it again!

Morning crew!

Night in their timezone though! :-P

Honestly, though, I’d rather that all siege hard-despawned after 6 hours than this 30 minute tick timer crap. It usually has to be re-placed multiple times in a 6 hour period anyway, and if we just had a schedule for re-application that we could follow, at least we could predict when we’d have siege, or not have siege.

The current mechanic is utterly broken though. I dropped 50 arrow carts last night, over half of which was because we were outmanned and busy fending off onslaughts and couldn’t get to the other locations to tick the siege.

The last thing an outmanned, underpowered force needs to worry about is that their siege is going to disappear.

Holy cow guys. Looks like it was an amazing night for all involved. Props to FA. You guys pushed like CRAZY last night. Congrats on finally taking Valley Keep! /respect

Looks like the DB night crew is back at it again!

This week is shaping up to be very exciting. Definitely can’t count any of the servers out yet!

Well, that soundly defies the law of gravity. :-P

Yeah, turn the 30 minute timer into 90 minutes at the least. 30 minutes is ridiculously small. You can easily get tied up with an enemy in a specific place on a map for more than 30 minutes.

I’m sick to death of wasting my hard earned (or sometimes bought) gold (or badges) on siege that just dies because we’re actually out there, yaknow, playing the game.

GJ to everyone this weekend and tonight. TC burned the midnight oil all weekend and is having a well deserved rest tonight. Thanks to all the people who stepped up under the massive FA and DB onslaught tonight, and the hoards who fought so hard all weekend.

That FA uber-zerg in EBG…. You had my head spinning. Gave us a scare there with Valley Keep for a few minutes. We built no less than 19 arrow carts inside inner to fend you all off (I counted). xD We had a good time, and were down to less than 15 of us on the map for a while there. Dat pressure… I dropped over 50 arrow carts in 4 hours. I’ll send you the bill.

Also, Anet: I love you for this game, but I hate you for the 30 minute siege timer. That needs to be 90 minutes >:[

I’d like to thank all the guild leaders over on FA for the alliance last week, we never would have won without you. Pm me for the monetary rewards we promised and we can work out a new deal for this week.

Mission accomplished ladies and gentlemen

Couldn’t believe how many people we got into TS.

Excuse me, I am going to go fight a bear.

So, did you want precursors or straight up gold for this week? Also our RPs have thrown in a nice ERP package if you wish to go that route…

Funny story, BT converted into a RP guild a few weeks back.

It’s much better this way.

Now you can not only wipe zergs, but you can tell them afterwards that you were just RPing wiping their zerg.

Don’t forget to set up a keybind for walking! We’ll know you’re on the clock for us if we see you RP walking.

Why is DB doing so bad now? From winning by over 80k to losing badly in 3rd, are they just not showing up? What exactly is going on.

List of reasons in my estimation:

1) They’re farming gold for transfers. They said they were done with this last week, but who knows.
2) They’re burned out. They pushed hard hard hard for many weeks straight. Before they got to T2… Sometimes you need several weeks of downtime to recoup and push hard again.
3) Their (fairweather) transfers are bummed that their dreams of T1 aren’t going to be realized anytime soon, and have become demoralized.
4) TC is finally back in full force after taking a haitus for a couple weeks. See point #2.

Incredible fights last night. Some of the most fun in WvW I’ve had…ever.

I’d like to give props to every Toastie I ran with today, especially Nightlight and Odinzu while keeping DB in check :P. You guys are awesome commanders and had loads of fun in the last 12hrs than I ever had in the last 6 months. I really didn’t notice how time passed by today. See ya gentlemen tomorrow! Goodnight! Zzzzzzz…

Those two commanded all night… NL finally left after 15 hours straight.

Those two commanders on the same map at the same time = amazing and beautiful things.

I’m biased of course so take this with a grain of salt, but during the hours I usually play I don’t really feel threatened too much by the TC zerg. You guys play a great PPT game, but your tactical execution is middling. We apparently lost it eventually anyway, but by the time I logged out last night I had gained like three ranks, a few hundred badges, and filled my bags two or three times against TC zergs trying to rush in our home keep on EB. Honestly I think the best tactical guild in the tier is probably BT on Fort Aspenwood, but I don’t really think FA has the coverage to be consistently competitive here. If TC were to turn a corner with her tactical metagame, she could be ridiculously powerful.

I would actually agree with you on the tactical observations, for the most part. Last night in EBG we went up against Agg, and it was a good example of this. We had a zerg made up of 70%+ pugs, and we got wiped consistently. Our two zergs were pretty near identical in size, but tactically it’s very hard to play against a disciplined guild group with intelligent composition when you’re in that scenario. We only ended up actually defeating them once or twice out of about 10+ encounters.

TC has an incredible militia, but we sometimes have to compensate for the fact that we have “militia” by “running” instead of “fighting.” I’ve seen this scenario against BT several times as well.

A few of our guilds are VERY tactically sound, but they run tagless a lot so they don’t get as much attention. KH is an example of this. I would not want to be on the receiving end of their weapons. PiNK is also extremely solid when they’re in a guild group.

Sometimes our commanders have to wield their zergs like a big hammer instead of a sword.

It’s great fun either way though!

Score update. I already posted this, but it mysteriously disappeared. shrug

Yeah I actually edited my post because half of it was me pointing out that you don’t need to post score updates anymore because DB cannot win. Congratulations are in order for sure, but at this point posting score updates is like rubbing salt in the wound. By my crash calculations, DB would have to tick close to 550 for the rest of the match to win.

Point taken. Sorry if I offended! Just excitement boiling over.
