This conversation is weird. All my PvE friends tell me to use only zerker in PvE and I’ve rarely felt the need to waste food or wrench on it. My other armor sets are for various WvW roles.
Exactly, everybody I know run only zerker in PvE and they dont care about food.
They dont care about finishers because they have nobody to stomp.
They dont buy unlimited gathering tools because they already have 1 set and dont need to change profesions every 2-3 hours because thir team lacks support/damage.
PvE players dont need to buy upgrades and siege.
All PvE players are buying are skins. While those can be expensive, in PvE you can get 100g in few hours if you are good, in days if you are bad. In WvW you can get 10g in days if you do EOTM karma train, and never step into borderland. Or in borderland if you dont care about wvw and just do karma farm.
GcG is helping own server in PPT.
This is the truth and even you may not like it, guild from your server was preventing guild from other server attacking your structures.
Just a note about matchups:
Right now there is 140 points difference between Arborstone rank 16 and Baruch Bay rank 15.
Between Baruch Bay rank 15 and Augury Rock rank 7 is difference of 119.
This means Arborstone need to gainat least 100 points to have a RNG chance to fight Baruch Bay, server that is one rank up.
While between Baruch Bay and Augury Rock there is 7 servers.
Because matchups are between 3 servers, this means Arborstone dont have slightest way to fight higher ranked servers for next 8 to 10 weeks. This is based on how much points Arborstone got in last weeks.
We are not T1 or T9 that are limited with opponents because there is nobody better/worse in ranks. We are in middle of roster and still seems like we are combined T1 and T9 because we cant be matched against any server higher than 16th and any server lower than 18th. Just because of this gap that was created by Season 2 and ammount of transfers DL and AS got after league.
I am not saying its wrong to have transfers, but Anet should look on it and maybe manually adjust matchups.
With current population on Arborstone I believe they can be even agains Pikens maybe even against Vizu. But all they need to go higher is one matchup against them.
That will change ranting enought to reflect their current strenght and will make this more that 200points gap disappear.
Deli thats not only in T1. Even lower tier servers had that. They just miss people to have it filled 24/7
With current system we will need to face Arborstone and Drakkars for nexr 10 weeks. Oh joy.
But just one matchup with Arborstone facing higher tier server would end this.
Ty Anet for great job
Dear Anet, please dont put us against Arborstone and Drakkar lake again.
Just manually adjust matchup so Arb will fight against higher ranked enemy.
We tried almost everything in last matchups. We fought and we almost managed to be second not far behind Arborstone. We slacked this week to make them earn more points.
Let them fight another server instead of same matchup for several weeks. We are in middle of leaderboard so there should not be 150points gap up and down so 3 servers would be stuck together for long weeks.
Yanniell but they are working on something we will like. Just it takes 10 or more years because they dont want to release anything that is not 200% complete and they want to release everything in one big update.
This way we will get GW3+GW4+GW5 with WvW updates in one bundle.
If those 8 people were afk, then yes its possible.
There is a lot of good wvw guilds in EU. But none of them claim they are the best.
Why arent people angrier? Because Anet deletes all angry posts.
I might add that I have been D/Ced a few times during a fight regardless if I’m winning or losing. It just happens.
What happened several times: enemy guardian downed and I am stomping. He dissapears, but I did not get any loot or xp. I smashed around for few times in case of thief, but i got out of combat really fast. And I was not alone there, another player from my server was there too hitting that guard.
So either that guard hacked or alt+f4. Thats why I asked.
I play in low silver, queues are mostly non existent here. At least nothing you can rely on.
Ok thanks for answer, then those were just ha**ers.
Recently I have seen increasement in players that will disappear before they die. No exp, no loot remain from them. Various classes form elementalists to guardians, so its not stealth, even downed enemies.
Earlier there was punishement for pressing Alt+f4 to quit game and prevent stomping, is this punishement currently disabled from devs? Or is it some kind on hack?
Yes or play non fear match as the rest of the servers.
Go for standart shout cleanse build. Change armor to knights and weapons to knights too. Get rid of Bloodlust and go for Air+Fire signets on hammer.
You would be surprised how this buid is efficient while keeping you tanky for zergs.
Keadlaw but few different colors on commander tag should not take longer than 1 months. Its not so hard to implement them.
Now its 6 months from CDI and nothing is even mentioned.
Why? Because you play on one and your server lack players or you play on blob server and you cant think someone can have better playtime?
I know my guild enjoy playing on low rank server.
Ring of Fire needs more players to cover 5am UK to 10am UK time.
We will welcome everybody who is willing to help promisiong server in silver league.
I would say come to Ring of FIre, but hey you are from RoS so that means only SFR is good for you.
Come to Ring of Fire. We are bottom silver and your guild may help us a lot. We dont have many players outside afternoon/prime time but those that are online just fights 4x times harder. Arborstone got a lot of transfers so they will go up and we will fight servers like GH,FSP and AG.
You can always come to RoF. We still play for PPT, we still try no not create map blobs.
We have some great guilds that cares about our server.
And we still have great fights, hopefully we will prove ourselves against AG again and against GH if Anet rng god will give us good number.
Bump for RoF. /15chars needed

Thats true McWolfy, but in last few months they gave nothing except account bound WXP that should be account bound from start.
Transfer to some server with good community and few guilds or to T1 server and join some non hardcore wvw guild.
THere are still plenty of guilds. For example, on RoF there are at least 4 guilds that like to play PPT but dont care if we are loosing. These guilds play for fun.
Megaserver – does not matter what server you are on
overflow – if map is full, overflow is created, can be seen mostly on lvl 80 maps, new maps in LS and EOTM. You wont have overflow text in map, but if you and your friend are on same WP and you dont see him, he is in different overflow
In April update datamines find commander tag icons with different colors. But they were never included ingame.
Btw how did that go? n
He tried but he was not able to answer single question so he stopped communicating at all.
Then there was this Commanders CDI 6 months ago where devs asked if community wants few quick changes like tag colors or longer waiting period and big changes. Community voted for fast changes.
You would say 6 months is enought time to make one icon colorfull. I cant even imagine what that longer waiting period is.
Then we get another WvW coordinator, or what was his function. Well he posted few times how everything is going fine and everybody is happy. Then he silenced. That was 4 months ago.
And then we had some posts from other. Sadly just few days before she left the company. Basicaly she said Farewell.
And well thats it. They come positive, but dont have single answer, so they left in few days and after few posts.
JMadFour
1) no we did not, a lot of servers still have own identity and transfering guilds did not changed it
2) no it cant because of overflow system. Even if my whole guild is going into EOTM we must use taxi system otherwise we ends up in different overflows. This way it will be much harder to build some identity if you never knwo who will you play with and you will need to look for them on some voice comm
3)of course it can
Its not only about arborstone.
Last fight against FSR we beat them, not much a difference but we did. Rak 14th pikens won, rank 16th RoF was second, rank 11th FSR was third.
So we beat 5 ranks higher servers and you know how many ranks RoF gained?
And thanks to that Gap we have no change fighting FSR again.
That gap was always there, sometimes a bit smaller, like one a 6 months, somethimes much bigger. This gap effectively prevents low silver/high bronze to actually gain ranks. Even if its possible we would beat FSR again. They are fighting GH now and they are even so we might even win against GH, but we have no chance at least to try it.
Same applies for any server that will be rank 16th or lower.
Even BB lost last week against FSR, so RoF might be even able to beat BB, Arborstone is definitelly able to beat BB. But without a chance to try.
Anet please look on this. Look on servers performace in last 5 matchups. Look how they are gaining ranks or loosing ranks. look how they did.
Deli but Arborstone will never be able to gain enought rating to go really up. For example 2 weeks ago RoF compete succesfully with Pikens and FSR that means if ARB is able to stomp Dl and RoF, they should fight next against higher servers, but thanks to glicko and rating gap, they wont fight them
Next week it will probably be the same, RoF vs DL vs Arb and even if Arb will get enought rating to go to rank 16th, there will still be gap of 100points to GH and problem is with current matchmaking 100points gap is like a wall.
And dont forget if you fight lower ranks, like 16th vs 17th vs 18th if 16th will win he needs to wcompletely stomp other servers to gain enought points to actually gain some rating.
Look Pikens are able to skip 3 ranks only because there are 6 servers inside 100point difference. For Arborstone this is really a big problem, well its a problem to any servers trying to get from bronze.
Because even if you have players, if you are winning a lot, that gap will actually prevent you gaining ranks which will prevent your guilds having gvgs and such(not many in bronze) so nobody will ever want to try to trabsfer to you, because you dont even have a change go up.
For lower rank servers, that not even a problem of coverage, of skill, its just a problem of freaking rating points.
While between rank 1 and rank 15 there is difference of 262 points and that means there are 15 servers splited in 262 points, in next 262 points there are just 4 servers.
See my point? Even if lower servers will get some transfers, it will take months to gain enought rating to actually go up.
BB was able to drop 6 ranks in 1 week. They lost 75 points and that cost them 6 ranks. They have different matchups now. But As need 200 points to actualy gain 3 ranks. To evens tart fighting servers they have strenght for right now. When RoF rank 17th competed against rank 16th and 18th and win, RoF gained 32points. Thats 7 weeks until that server will climb up to compete with others.
You know what I am talking about now?
Jeknar yes EU has more variety, but there are maximum 3 servers sharing same hunder of rating. but in NA if you look on it, if you count difference of 262 points as in EU, you will get maximum of 5 ranks. Thats 15 vs 5 ranks.
And in NA there is no 200 gap between servers.
What I want Anet is to look on this. Anet is killing lower tier EU servers just by this 200 points gap. Because we have no chance going up. Thanks to glicko.
Hello Anet,
as it goes right now we need a bit more variety in EU. There are servers in higher ranks that lost guilds and are falling down and servers that gained a lot of guilds that are going up. But thanks to small variety of matchup it will takes forever and is destroying servers.
Reset is in 2 days, please make it happen.
Look on FSR,AG,GH fights and how their ranks will change. Look on Arborstone, they had a lot of transfers but are unable to gain ranks because of small matchup variety.
Thank you
Guild roster is completely buged. Most of the time I cannot rely on it because players talking in guild chat are shown as offline.
Come to Ring of Fire. We have great community, great guilds and frinedly people.
Currently our community is hosting several events like sPvP tournament or Asuraball and I am sure we will do more events in future.
People are looking servers to transfer to and servers keep telling they have the best community.
But in last months I have not seen anywhere such effort from community like from Ring of Fire guys.
We day comamnder trainings, open mics, EU wide Asurabbal tournament, EU wide sPvP tournament and much more.
And we do not rely on Anet to make some event. We make our own events and our own fun. Join us until it will be too late and we wont have any space.
And we also try to improve our randoms all the time. Thats why we do a lot of walkthroughts

msalakka well last time our T3 keep was attacked we had instantly 70man queue on home borderland within 2 minutes. But not from EB, thats mostly full of enemy blobs, so our attacking forces come to help.
And no we dont have any dedicated guild to defend home borderlands. Its more like alliance of players, they call themselves Border hoppers. Ask Hutch for more info in game please
Seems like botttom SIlver is what you are looking for. Upper silver have often map blobs, or how we call it fellowship of guilds roaming same road and direction.
So 12th to 16th should be your place.
[quote=4124876;Belenwyn.8674: ]Smaller proposals from the commander CDI are already implemented like invisibility of commander symbol for enemies or badges as costs for the commander title.
[/quote]
From when you can buy commander title with badges? You still need 100gold for this.
While we are doing great against Pikens or FSR, we still would like to get some NA and SEA/OCX players.
Specialy our morning crew will welcome every player.
Eypheha yes of course people can be hidin when all we had was just a keep. They were hiding on very small area that even on map you could not see green dot outside of stacked zerg.
Yesterday we moved from borderland to help EB. We had queue on EB but we were still outnumbered. I mean the buff [outnumbered].
Also we joined EB team and there was no guild running havoc. And still enemy outnumber os 2:1.
I really think there is something wrong with map limits. ITs something similiar as were siege limits.
Why should the warrior banner work on fully dead NPCs?
Not one other revival skill works on dead NPCs. Battle Standard is the ONLY revival skill that will revive an NPC from full death.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Revival
This is sooo not true.
I play warrior and guard, warriors have banner, guards have signet. Both revive lord.
I think elementalist have signet too and necro have some similiar skill too. Engi got an elixir for this.
Expensive solution of Bay keep on borderlands.
Bronze servers are know to have great communities. These communities consist not from whole server but guilds and players that want to work together. And because these guilds want to work together they tend to be more friendly than in higher tiers.
And RoF was bronze server for a long time. Before league we had incomming transfer of few guilds that first asked if they are welcome. Of course they was. And thanks to these guilds and old community we managed to go into silver league.
We sucesfully compete with higher ranked servers and we are hoping that we can prove ourselves in different matchup. honestly, FR cant beat us for few weeks now, and when we fought against AG, pasivy of FR was our main problem. Hopefully with different enemies we will prove ourselves and climb higher on ranks.
If you want friendly community, come to RoF. If you want challenge, come to RoF. If you want greener pastures, come to RoF.
Op if you want to roam, then some WvW overlay is needed for you. Then you wont need to walk hours.
And of course, running from one edge of map to other side takes about 3 minutes for roamer. Not hours. And in your way there is stuff roamer can do, taking sentries, killing yaks, flipping bloodlust, taging towers/keeps.
We have identified the issue and are working on a solution to distribute the proper tournament chests to all who should have earned them. We appreciate your patience while we work to resolve this.
Thank you.
Thank you for the update. Now that we know you did not abbandon us, and that devs are still working on it, we will wait until its fixed, or other updtae in few days.
Thanks
I just played and dead people are grey. Its awesome. Finally in bigegr fughts you know how many enemies are standing.
