Guild Wars 2

Well Deso still put out zerker blobs every day with the PT and other guilds; furthermore they seem to own most of the borderlands during midday, so idk, I think worst of them out of all servers so that might be my bias.

TheLaughingMan.4320:

Stop crying about anet screwing up. The people using the bug should not be banned. Point your rage at the people responsible for the bug, and not fixing it in a timely manner.

Exactly what he said, and the “oops I fell” moment on the Deso blob xD so so priceless. Also don’t even play Mesmer and I have to admit it’s the most hilarious thing in the world how everyone scatters like roaches when you cast chaos storm on them

It was literally half a night of fun, get over yourselves.

BlackBeard.2873:

For a while there, people were wishing you could fire players with the treb. One mesmer = way more powerful than any treb shot ever!

I’m sorry but we’ve always wanted that; Asura were just made to be projectiles, can’t you see?

Those evil Deso mesmers jumping on our zergs… seriously?

At least the higher tier EU servers seem to be powered by full damage gear; Dezerkerlation since they were in T1 and haven’t grown out of it since, and when we were against Vizu last week I got added to a party and called a noob repeatedly from different players for running ‘tank’, whilst they angrily linked me cof armour.

Was wondering if this is prevalent in NA as well, or the higher tier EU I haven’t faced such as SFR?

I was in the process of writing a long wall of text but since you have deleted your comment I’ll just give you a smiley face to show you my satisfaction.

It got infracted, sorry.

Disagree roaming is roaming I like the unpredictability of roaming and no set rules which is why WvW appeals to me so much.

You can have your own set imaginary rules that you follow so you can tell your friends in VOIP or invite the enemy to party or come on the forums and keep as a ace card that you killed someone when you had no food or bloodlust or w/e. In the end that only serves yourself and requires other people to hear you tell the tale but the majority of the people you killed or got killed by probably won’t care.

Another note food can give your build away before the first skill is cast. I don’t always hover over enemies food but if I know I’m going to engage in a impromptu 1v1 I’ll hover over the buff to see what I’m dealing with. I build mostly to fight everything as best I can on my classes so I can know what to expect. Certain classes it matters a little less than others but you can get a general idea.

If I see +40% condition duration on a thief I know its condis, if I see it on a necro it could be hybrid but mostly assume condis, ele with precision food or stacker I think glassy, or doesn’t have 10 in Air with zephyr’s boon etc…. you can get alot of information from someones food and stacker buffs its not viable to always hover but the information is there in a 1v1 scenario.

Sorry, I really am that juvenile; it hat to be done

Half of the time I’ll just go and roam as soon as I’m into the map.

The other half only happens in certain matchups, cough cough Vizunah cough, at which point I stack absolutely everything I can because I know a simple fair 1v3 will be few and a far between, guard leech, fortitude, sigil stacks, swapping to other sigil once 25, food buffs…

That said I am 1 ascended backpack and 2 ascended weaps down from those micro-maximiser dudes.

Jayne.9251:

I’ve run into a number of Second Law guys who if you are out and get into a 1v1, they only hit you till downed and then run off. It so impressed me that I go out of my way to do the same any time I’m 1v1d with any of them. Was a nice standard to set and I hadn’t seen that prior to running into them.

I don’t really get that. It seems needlessly cruel.. if you weren’t there to really defeat him, let the poor guy do his thing in peace.

It’s like mugging a guy but not taking his wallet after you stab him.

It’s really more like mugging a guy and not stabbing him after you take his wallet. Or tbh it’s even more like defeating an opponent and sparing him to live and fight another day, having asserted your fighting (1-spamming) prowess.

Rackhir Tanelorn.9123:

I don’t think you get suppressed in /say which should work fine for most fights if people know to look for it

you can also get them to join on your squad and use that channel

It completely does suppress /say, and I’m shocked you didn’t know xD I command my group in nothing but /say!

I find chat commanding on EB to be relatively simple; all you need is experience, respect and effort. Know what you can do and what you can’t, for example I’ve only recently been able to start getting my infantry groups to blast fire fields automatically on might stack recently, and am working more on the Water fields, got the basic tactic down however needs more practice and to happen quicker.

Just carry on going, with infantry you need to put in a lot of effort, however having done so myself I feel very proud of where they are today, compared to where they were 5 months ago, start with the basics and work up from there. No need for macroes, good old fashioned work and practice will do that for you

I agree tbh, I hate the fact that I have to think in terms of ‘oh it’s patch Tuesday, no WvW today, maybe I’ll play some ME3 instead.’

It really really is annoying how every single patch day WvW is down, we are sitting in Lion’s Arch… I tagged up today in LA and had about 10 guys following me around escorting what looked like a Supply Dolyak around the city just because we were so bored…

Come on ANet, the community is already on edge and every mistake you makes OP he magnified and criticised to the highest degree, give us something we care about or want, I love your game, but it’s really getting bad :/ One little thing to restore the faith; ask Mr Dociu to colour in those Commander icons, make party members kickable in WvW, add the same rewards for sentry cap (or half) to the successful escort of a Dolyak, increase the range of /supplyinfo command, find some way around chat suppression mid-battle for commanders, remove thief c&d off walls. Any of the above would ease upset players and stop the negative feelings continuing; heck any news that you are working on them or have an eta would be amazing. Come on!

Well I’m only rank 301 as of today, so naturally I’m against it :P I like to think I’m one of the better commanders on Gandara, however if you pushed this through I would be gone and maybe 3 Commanders would still exist because they had a) no job, b) more zerging, c) stood in more cap circles

This is an illogical and flawed idea, seeing as ranks is not an accurate measurement of a player’s experience or skill at commanding, heck it doesn’t even show WvW time. It measures zerging, play time, etc. etc. Furthermore what’s worse is, these ranks were introduced a few months back – they weren’t retroactive. I have been playing and commanding since BWE2, but that most part of the year counts for nothing, because these ranks did not exist then.

400 is really way too high, and I’d say it would be a lot better to either filter it by say, 500 total objectives capped, or not filter it at all and make it cost 100g + 250 badges or something. To help the PvE players who complain they need it for farming, make the 100g for PvE inactive in WvW, and add the 250 badges on top to be able to use in WvW.

Tbh my main problem with commander is the suppression… ease it up a bit ANet, just in WvW for commanders with tag up under 30 character limit – please?

So I’m not sure but think we’re in Gunnar’s Hold’s spot, I’m not sure where they went, we are 150k behind Millers, 5k behind Abaddons, which is the wrong way around, seeing as Abaddons always beats Millers…. (it’s the basics of the rock paper scissors thing)…

As one of few Guardian roamers, I can say that in the vast majority of circumstances a Warrior will run away as quickly as his GS can carry him, or die when facing me. The 5% are even with me due to tankiness vs dmg output.

If any of you is looking for duels, feel free to pm me

crosses fingers for friendly bloodlust buff

We on Gandara have one in the form of [mod edit: name removed], runs around flaming every commander and placing ballistae build sites whenever we’re grouped up, wasting our supply and cussing any commander near him. Most everyone has reported him and by now we know it will do nothing… we all have him on ignore now, but recently he realised the forums don’t get blocked so he has a post there, yay

I feel a lovely sense of community and mutual hardship with you guys, you have my sympathies.

Falassion.8031:

It makes me smile to see that ezekiel also complains here

A wild Shady appears! Caught a break from the siege trolling and realised block doesn’t work on the Forums, eh? Most of Gandara doesn’t post here so most of the people with you blocked won’t see.

Have fun swearing at all of our commanders, you are so mature

I’ll bring a blob, likely I won’t get to you otherwise.

Nah that was just some random trivia, we weren’t saying it was him, i’ll also inform him that it was incorrect trivia

Bonding is bleh, it’s the same concept as the zergers chasing solo roamers down then laughing on their corpses.

I will now lay out my excuses:
– Weren’t ready, busy chatting
– 1 upscale among the 3 pugs you found us with
– 1 of our guys wasn’t there
– We weren’t on voice comm nor were we set up for optimum 5v5 warfare
– We had no bloodlust, you guys did
– We had no stacks

Regardless, as much as I love watching you guys in the now dead GvG scene, the reality is at least from the impressions you guys have given, you’re a bunch of kittens. I know you guys don’t care or anything, but I genuinely thought better of you. You’ve lost one fan it seems.

EDIT: Also feel free to call me for a 1v1 if you want

well it’s too late now… 1 of our members has gone for a cup of coffee, though we appreciate the gesture

We get it already VotF, you guys can beat up 5 people… no need to emote spam on us too…

Dat honour and respect on the battlefield from well reputed guilds

I must say [Way], you guys are the most kittenbaggery prone guild I’ve seen… have fun running over and chasing every solo roamer you come across?

I know for a fact that Deso and AR are… Deso admitted it in their matchup thread, and just playing AR… half of them are armourless, they are never attacking and in general their night cap crew is taking a break…

Really I think tanking the matchup is a kitten move by some servers :/

“Great. Where are we going?”

I am an immigrant, however I will say that Gandara has… umm… Pugs. And, umm… JDGE, and Derin Darbe!

On a more serious note, are there any further details you could provide to us? xD Call me old fashioned but I wouldn’t kind knowing who you are before I invite you into our my home

Aurora Glade? Recruiting? :O You guys are trying to get away from us again, aren’t you! :‘( want to go play with the big coverage boys don’t you! </3 I for one feel hurt and betrayed.
I will now go and cry in the nearest available corner, if I can find my way there with this stupid bloodlust lag.

the last couple lines are why people are (threatening) leaving WvW, for everyone saying they’re just being ‘elitist egotistical jerks’.

Gyuforce.8291:

Love the new BL design, I have alot of fun running around stomping things. I hate the bloodlust. 1v2s and 1v3s are really hard now with a +1 orb advantage. This buff really ruined WvW for me.

What he said. Also the almost perpetual lag.

Alright nothing I’m posting here has anything to do with GvG before I get crucified by people here for my signature being that of a WvW guild leader. The last time we GvG’d was a couple weeks ago off the record for fun and priorly to that we hadn’t bothered in months and months and months.

As a person who spends 70% of their play time solo roaming, party roaming, whoever wants to come with me roaming, 10% pug commanding, 5% guild ops leading and 15% afk, I have to say I really really dislike this buff.

As a roamer you want your fights to mean something, fun, exhilaration and enjoyment are had through hard fights where every skill counts and you’re on the edge of your seat. Therefore you really want your wins to come from ‘skill’, and your losses to come from being outplayed, rather than from being outnumbered, lagged or because some random guy on a random Borderland didn’t stand in Point A long enough.
As a pug commander, you want your victories from superior tactics, strategy and from great fighting both individual and through teamwork by your group. You want to know you are doing well because of your skill and play, not because X Ipwnznoobz X on the other server didn’t baby sit Bauer’s cap point.
As a Guild group leader, you want to win because you have your allies and friends at your backs, fighting by your side and executing orders quickly and efficiently, to ensure survival and to beat the odds, not because on top of the enemy outnumbering you 2:1 they now have a lot more stats too.
As an afk person, you want to not get dc’d from the game, and hence need to come back to refresh by jumping every 5 minutes or so.

Bloodlust cheapens any feeling of elation at victory for me, and makes defeat taste more bitter; how can you feel good about winning a battle when the field was skewed from the beginning?

I would be happy with this change. It exactly sums up the reasoning behind why I personally am so upset by this patch.

I want to win on my own terms or lose on them, I don’t want to win a fight because I have a random stat boost from random people in the Borderlands that have nothing to do with me. I don’t want to lose a fight because the enemy got a buff half way through the fight and I lost mine, because someone in an obscure Borderland somewhere didn’t stay on Point A long enough. Giving everyone stat boosts detracts from the euphoria and pride from winning a battle, against 1 other person, against 80, you should feel like you fought and won because you played better, not because you were the one with the boost at that particular point. Similarly you should feel you have that chance of winning if you play well enough, it’s bad enough I get chased around the map constantly by 5+ people, now they will all have a stat boost to help them chase me down, kill me and laugh on my poor solo roaming body.

How can you feel proud of your triumphs if the field was skewed in your favour the entire time?

I’m sure there was a post somewhere by Devon that said they’d only take notice if they saw a drop in WvW numbers, someone can link plzz? Might get some more onboard with the idea.

Idk, just that they’re the only ones who could possibly gain anything from this :/ coverage is everything, I just really believe anyone and everyone who likes it is in a very high tier server that has the buff.

Looks like the solution is to build trebs in the keeps and 1 or 2 stay there to treb the ruin. Time to lvl up treb mastery. Looks like they only care about spvp ¬¬.

What have they done for spvp? This patch was for you guys. Sure they failed, but still they give you much more attention.

Attention? lol
this patch is an attempt to get all GvG guild to leave WvW and make a new home in Spvp. Sadly Spvp will never fit with the GVG guilds.

You sound like one of those conspiracy nuts.

It’s not just for ‘GvG’, anyone not in Tier 1 will hate this, I suppose Tier 1 is the majority though, so let’s screw over anyone and everyone below them, anyone in a lower tier server, so they wake up in the morning with the map dazzlingly night capped, and every enemy with +150 to all stats. Let’s screw over the solo roamers, the party roamers, the guild groups, all over WvW. Because now the only WvW is zerging, out of the group = taken out by numbers not just because numbers but because numbers with +150 stats.

I really thought there was nothing the Devs could do that would really make me hate them… boy was I wrong :/ the patch has been up for no more than 30 min, like you say. Baruch is rolling over all of us with zergs, groups of 5, groups of 10, groups of 3, all with +150 to all stats. kittening great. It takes15 of us to kill 3 of them.

QQ more Deso, QQ more…

Don’t mind Victory, he is just catching up on current tactics Gandara have been employing this strategy for months against solo roamers and parties of upscales, works like a charm.

They really shud remove if if commanding in a WvW map, or at least cut some slack either in general or for those commanding. It’s ridiculous atm and makes and breaks fights. Squad chat is useless, /say all the way.

@Deniara Devious.3498

Oh for the love of god get over yourself already :/ been watching you posting all over the forums ‘Gandara this’, ‘Gandara that’, ‘Gandara has so many people on all borderlands, Deso are a poor coverageless server Gandara blobs us’.

Get your facts straight and clear your head before you post this crap. Yes we decided that our few leaderless pug group would build some AC for fun, yes we built them inside SM (I seriously can’t believe your ‘omg yu abusez broken mechanics AC shud no b used indoors’ argument), and yes a random pug decided to make a video and put some captions on it. No we did not mean to insult you, no he does not speak for our server, and no we aren’t taking the entire video seriously and to the letter. We don’t do that on a regular basis, we never have, we never will. Don’t take one night’s (barely half an hour) of fun, to be an indicator of ‘omg dey is become blob servuh’, lastly, you are incredibly hypocritical, considering which server you come from.
Whisp me in game and we can have some small scale, if you’re bored come at me, I wouldn’t mind knocking some sense into you.

/rant over, I hope you enjoyed your daily dose of drama!

EDIT: Also to clear your ‘exaggeration of Deso forces’ thing, I was there, there were at least 30+ Deso, all on TS, the majority of which were DVG – making it a guild group. Furthermore none of our people were on TS, or voice comms of any sort, we had no commander, and were outmanned by the enemy.

Shoutouts to guys I’ve duelled on Riverside windmill today (I’m the Warrior with Sunrise):

Chainsaw Ranger – Nice fights, shame couple duels got interrupted. Those confusion stacks hurt a lot!

[WvW] Guardian – Probably the longest 1v1 I’ve ever had, if not your call for draw, we’ld probably be there till one of us fell asleep at the keyboard ^^. Great fight!

Idd it was quite fun I kept thinking I could take that last bit of health from you, but you persevered and kept alive via caution and skill, you never let up either, we would still be there fighting right now if we hadn’t called it, or at least till own of us made some bad mistakes thanks for a great fight o/

Maskaganda.2043:

oh you will. most likely either right behind the blob hitting the stragglers or right in front of the blob running for our lifes^^ here’s hoping for some fun fights.

regarding desolation (and I hate to be generalizing, I know it’s only a small portion of players that do it but) I never saw so much childish trashtalking. People actually join our groups screaming homophobic insults in caps lock, a la 14 year old playing CoD. We had that happening more times last week than all previous year together. Its only a game, try to behave and have fun.

I’ll check rs mill from time to time for duels as well. cheers.

^This, happens constantly from the Deso I’ve met so far, they kill you solo with 5 friends with gravity because they couldn’t any other way, then they all stand on your corpse and start mass /laughing, and that’s just one of countless occasions :/ this might just be your PvE population Deso but with the amount of times it’s happened I’m sitting here hoping for a fun matchup like Gandara/Riverside/Abbadons. Such childish behaviour, it’s quite sad really.

Other than that I will also pass by the windmill for some fair fights.

We miss you AM <3

Well I hope to never ever meet you again Deso, all zerker, EB full of emote warriors, just now I got 4v1’d and they even had to resort to knocking me off the cliff to kill me, running away whenever low health and coming back, and then mass dancing and laughing on my corpse… so kittening classy.

These kind of people let your server down :/ the fact that there are so many of them as well…

Whilst we will enjoy the company of FSV, who are great guys and I’ve already had tonnes of laughs fighting by their sides in WubvsWub, I really hope FSP gets some much needed love to return to its rightful place in the mythical ‘AG-FSP-Gandara’ supermatchup, for pro fun and good fights.

They’re a really nice server and we enjoy and look forward to every matchup we share. Good luck you guys!

It is mostly pugs I’m talking about yes, I seriously find so many, it’s crazy It might be the influx of PvE players because you’re winning, idk, but 90% of the Deso people I come across, regardless of profession, are running Zerkers, I do come across a couple decent fighting less squishy fighters, but other than that it’s jus zerker thief groups and zerker warriors and zerker rangers, everywhere xD

Btw I hope your borderland hopping group enjoyed our little Arrow Cart surprise in SM last night

I’ve both solo’d and duo’d a few towers during my time as a WvW addict, and got a keep lord to 30% before a horde of angry Germans stormed in… yeah that didn’t end well for me…

Did something get infracted? I can’t really follow this thread… It is confuzzling…

Havidos.9328:

Three things that really irritate me about being a Commander right now, and that is:

1. Commander Icon color is difficult to see if you’re BLUE.
2. /supplyinfo sucks, need to increase the range to like 300 yards and it should be an automatic feature with a small supplyinfo number at the top next to what we’re carrying.
3. Chat Suppression as a commander. Don’t know how many times i’ve been hindered from giving orders during defense and getting suppressed. Absolutely ridiculous!!!! The Chat Suppression is supposed to be used to keep gold sellers from panhandling, not to restrict gameplay.

Fixing these three things immediately will help a ton until they revamp it.

This, this, and this. I couldn’t really care too much about the other things, new colours would be nice I suppose, being able to stand around drawing pictures on the map sounds a bit impractical, but yknow, sub-commanders eh I think that would easily be solved by just different colours, but these others, those are the main main things for Commanders I think.

I am suppressed not that often, however when it happens it does drastically change the fight, we go from winning to losing and deteriorating very fast, and I have to rely on others to communicate for me shud I be able to whisper them fast enough or party chat them. These are definitely the issues that are most important, those fixed and you won’t see me complaining about Commander system

I must say, Deso has the most zerker players of any server I have encountered in GW2 o.O

You ADAC guys enjoy running over and chasing every solo roamer you come across? Such doucchebaggery…
