Good news!

Spurnshadow.3678:

then I just can’t help you.

… lol, don’t say it. Just don’t.

RESIST!

If you can’t be bothered to sweep for a mesmer after you take an objective (because “it takes too long and wastes time”), then it’s your own fault if it flips. If the objective is important for your team, then you stay until it’s cleared.

Otherwise, if you are more concerned with the k-train and blobbing, do so.

I know, it’s one of those “oh crap” bugs. I find all those funny. Even as a stealth class. It’s why I love my moa

Edit: It’ll force me to use other skills until the bug is fixed, which I think will make me a better player. Yep, glass is half full player. I know, it’s annoying, haha

Yes but the game world is in three dimensions. It’d be easy to assimilate a certain depth and height limit.

Sorry, but as a stealth class, I find this hilarious. I must log in now. Haha

I know it’s no fun for the big blobs, but it’s amusing to me.

Dunno man, I keep seeing more and more high ppt ticking in off-hours as more and more NA players venture over to EU. It used to be only one or two servers had “day” or “night” crews .. now it seems like at least 10 have them. The good news is at least they’re not all congested on one or two servers and appear to have followed the “norm” for EU and spread out.

Chaba.5410:

Swamurabi.7890:

It would also smooth out spikes in server population.

Yes, exactly.

EU servers don’t have non-EU Prime population spikes like NA servers have non-NA Prime population spikes. They have some off-hours, but not like NA servers have. The NA population on NA servers getting smoothed out with OCX/SEA population would lead to lower scale WvW during NA prime than what EU servers would experience (and what higher tier NA servers are used to.)

Sure they do.

Some servers, at least in gold league and some in silver, have day crews that start hours before prime. And a few more have night crews. You can get prime-time blobs of 35+ during those times, depends on the server.

Puck.9612:

Stealth traps reveal players for 30 seconds, not 5.
If you can’t kill a revealed thief or mesmer in 30 seconds…..

+1

Or Moa. I love watching moa’d thieves and mesmers.

The mesmer looks at you like “but but .. I’m one of your own!” haha

Appropriate sig line.

Sinbold just made me chuckle

I would imagine flying above a lord in a tower or keep would be “too far” … much like being under the ground.

I’m going to spank you both, lol.

Be happy sounds like they finally got time from HoT to address some key issues.

In today’s patch:

Players will now be killed if they travel too far outside of the playable space on the maps.

Sounds like that will finally fix your hacker.

Maybe there’s only one active?

azizul.8469:

server population status MUST be updated week-on-week basis and by taking the 7-day moving average , not 30-day or any long duration. 7-day is sweet spot…

Far more frequently than that, it appears. FSP went from full to very high to full again within a three day period.

Eh he can believe what he wants. He just seems grouchy in every post. I think he needs a hug

Still awaiting your return as white knight Kuru. :P

Edit: Oh you`re evil. Now I`m obsessing over the double negative my mind jumped over earlier. Oh dang, triple?!!!!

Should experiment and see if it’s just a cata thing.

Someone give Coglin a hug.

There’s a block function.

You’d think at some point, people would spend 15 minutes of training if that frustrated. It’s amazing what investing a bit of time does. Even a simple outline of what gear works better than others makes a significant difference.

If you’re running as a guild group, and tagged as a guild group, you have no business tagging along, unless invited.

You’re EU right? Let’s have a picnic

Solution to mesmers in keeps?

Count to 60.

Then they are exposed, all spells timed out.

Nuke and stake.

That would incorrectly assume you can see every possible square inch of the area at once, inside the walled area of a keep. That is a poor assertion on your part in my opinion.

/shrug

It’s how I catch them.

And my main is a mesmer

Dawdler.8521:

Jayne.9251:

Russian guilds are predominantly on Far Shiverpeaks and Seafarers.

They are?

Anyway, just pick any of the upper tier servers. Pretty much the same thing. Lots of different guilds to GvG. .

Most of the Russian guilds that were on Piken are now on fsp. I know SFR has ZaDrots, and one other, cannot remember the name, lol.

dancingmonkey.4902:

That isn’t balance at all. That is redistribution of PvE mobs in WvW. Mobs that die quick and easy. It would have little to no effect.

Not if they were all drunk siegerazers

I’m not sure this is a solution though, even if it is amusing.

Part of the dynamic of WvW is defending with fewer numbers, or conversely, having more bodies to stomp.

Naw when I’ve had posts removed, because of deletion of another post or thread, I get an email.

Maybe I’m special? :P

Usually you’ll get an email explaining.

Hide the treb at base of ramp near the shed, way in the back. The shed seems to cause issues for targeting.

Treb behind the shed for all towers .. repeat as mantra

I would kill everyone if I tagged up.

I’m a much better scout.

In fact, the one day I did tag up I said “come with me and I’ll try my best not to kill you.”

And I killed everyone ><

It takes some practise to get it right. Use the stairs as a “block” and aim at the top of the rampart. Stand below and throw up.

If you are not in the right spot it will not let you drop. It takes some experimenting. Once you get it though, you get it

They have said they’re fixing the LOS issue in next patch (hooray!), but what works in the meantime is dropping an AC mid-step on any structure. The LOS from outside does not let them see immediately next to the wall inside, so any AC placed within a structure inside, closest to a wall, is safe. Halfway up steps and you get the over the top of the wall LOS advantage. It takes some practise though getting it midstep.

And yeah, one person on a sup ac will not stop a blob. Five have a chance.

And use superior acs.

About four regular acs = 1 superior ac.

1 superior AC deals with about 5-8 enemy blob — if you have 20 blob at a paper gate, you should have at least 4 superior acs minimally (manned) defending.

Drop an ac by the shed in QL. That way you can cover the gate and the canyon below.

Have another person at the spot you’re at, and pair together to nuke them. If you’re raining down a hail of arrows on top of where that guy to the right is, that will leave the guy up top with the ac free to use it in the spot you are at.

Not sure how you missed this thread, lol, but here you go:

No, it just gives you an indication of how very ill equipped other servers were prior to the change, than your own. Perspective.

I thought the new thing for rangers and thieves was trapper runes?

Hvaran.6327:

So if some guild doesn’t raid or 2 guilds doesn’t raid during 1-2 days the population together with status can open up, get in some scrubcakes who can’t relie on new unstable system then it getting closed with MORE people in.

Naw some servers were, as the dev stated, WAY above the “full” threshold when they initiated these new rules. So they’ll likely never be Very High for months yet.

HOORAY!

Blockhead Magee.3092:

Good grief…… My eyes rolled back so hard it almost hurt.

I’m going to ETOM to gank every red dot I can find that’s not in a group of five or more.

What colour is your server this week? And EU or NA?

Maybe we can stop and have a picnic?

Misty water-colored memmorrriessss …

So 80 blob arrives, and you have three people in your keep. You spot it in time, and your guys are talented enough to destroy the ACs that are built (over and over again) vs 80 and then jump back into the keep?

Well kudos to you, lol.

snarfrificus.4230:

playing against servers like sfr and fsp, trust me we have. We just never had this issue while they are trying to do it though. And i have been playing this game since day 1 lol.

Me too dear.

I suspect you don’t do defense a lot, lol. Or you’d have seen this in action. Particularly with FSP.

Or you always have enough bodies to defend. We saw this being used when we had like 6 people max on map. And then their blob arrived.

(Hint; look at my sig line).

snarfrificus.4230:

I then dont know how you build your siege, but it sounds like you guys are failing very hard in it.
We never had that issue before with our opponents that they could destroy it that easily.

This may help you dear:

Could be you just haven’t encountered people using it this way.

We have.

It’s why I’m concerned about the Dev’s wording. He used the word “behind” .. which makes me wonder if the fix will be both ways (if so, hooray!) or just one-way — defensively. Meaning that the outside attacker AC placement will still work.

snarfrificus.4230:

Jayne.9251:

snarfrificus.4230:

We actually saw the opposite. The stronger server with the 80-blob would drop an ac and use the FoV angle to wipe all inner siege, so they could face-mow the gate down without any resistance from the 6 defenders inside.

But using that requires more time and at the same time if they are just ramming we normally use something called an treb from inside… So it really depends on that part how capable your defenders are.
With how it was we would be easily able to defend against that.

If they are wiping all your siege INSIDE your keep before hitting the gate, then you have no treb dear to counter with.

Trust me, I know siege. And yes, we found other spots.

But initially they were wiping all of, say, inner garri (all along the inner rampart wall), the entire courtyard inside, from OUTSIDE west gate.

snarfrificus.4230:

This so called ‘hack’ made the game more interesting for also the smaller and weaker servers.

The T1 panic is real, lol.

Sich.7103:

Oh, that’s a very very good news !

Oh hon, re-read.

Zachary Stiers.1879:

from behind walls to locations they shouldn’t have even been able to see, much less fire at.

Just hope he means both ways. Cos if they are limiting from behind walls only .. well, lol. (Behind implies being inside a structure, not outside).
