WvW Rank 3800 (Platinum Veteran) – PvP Rank 69 (Shark) – 25,9k Achievment Points
Mërcenaries [Sold] – Ferguson’s Crossing
Lower you graphics?
A little off-topic: The image about the combat log on that page have various lines saying “You heal youself for 312 with [Unsuspecting Foe]”. I don’t recall that trait granting healing…
Unsuspecting Foe (Warrior – Arms VIII)
Increased critical-hit chance against stunned foes.
Critical Chance increase: 50%
Commander
The commander tag will become an account-wide feature, instead of being character-based.
To balance this, the cost of a Commander’s Compendium will increase to 300 Gold coin.
Each color can be unlocked separately in any desired order. There will be four different colors: blue, pink, red and yellow.
Players who have already unlocked at least one commander tag will get the blue tag for the whole account.
Players who have unlocked four or more tags, can contact support to get another color of their choice.

LETS GO DEVONAS REST. RNG JESUS LOVE US PLS.
With HoD swapping with DR on 12th, I think it should be easier… However one cannot underestimate the troll power of RNG.
you ACTUALLY think there is some kind of limitation on digital currency supplied by Anet?
When did I said that? I guess your rage about Devona beating you too hard is making you blind?
If there wasn’t a change of price based of how gems come and go out of the market, the price would be stable until Anet change it manually. The gem prices skyrocketed over the years but you can see that the prices keep going up and down (even if only slightly) over the course of the day. It’s not a entirely crescent line. That means that there are people selling their gems for gold. Gem that they likely didn’t bought with gold…
I wonder if DR need a pro forum warrior…
and explain to me how exactly Anet makes money off of the exchange of gold to gems as no gem purchase is taking place…
These gems you buy for gold are gems someone traded for gold. So someone bought these gems at one point and exchanged them for gold…
Speaking of community, let’s study some very popular scenarios of why a guild move out of a server.
A) [GOLD] is a guild that plays in server A. Server A is the strongest on it’s tier, always winning over servers B and C. [GOLD] is a dedicated group of 20 people that is able to easily wipe almost, if not all groups from the said matchup.
When server A get moved to the tier above, it face server D, E and/or F. [GOLD] is competent enough to defeat some groups from these server, but because these are much larger populated than B and C, server A cannot beat them.
Server A is stuck in this cicle because it cannot beat the servers on the tier above, and have a boring matchup against the tier below. If [GOLD] want to get to a new environment, they need to move out server A, since server A will never get out of that spot.
Hearing that [GOLD] want to leave server A, server Y offer to help with the transfer fee if [GOLD] move to their server. Server Y is on a higher tier where there are more groups to fights and it’s coverage is good enough to make a competitive matchup.
Is it wrong to [GOLD] to accept this offer? I personally don’t think so. You shouldn’t be where you don’t want to be…
B) [KILL] is a hardcore 15man guild group from server F. Server F usually lose the matchup on it’s tier with server D and E, only being able to beat server A when this one come up. It also have a easy time on the tier below against server B and C.
However since their server have a more casual approach, [KILL] often get upset with the players on server F, which end up in drama in map chat, server forum, server TS, etc…
Since server F is a toxic environment for [KILL] they want to move out. Knowing this, server Y make [KILL] the same offer they made to [GOLD].
Again, is it wrong? It’s unpleasant to play somewhere where you are constantly mocked or where it feels you’re the only one that actually want to play the game (the way you want at least). Do that make [KILL] a bad guild for accepting this offer? Again, I don’t see a issue…
If guilds move out of the servers they were, it’s a certainly that they had their reasons… It’s not like you can send money to someone and then that person is forced to transfer… Sometimes they want a new scene. Sometimes they don’t get along with the server community. Sometimes they just want easy wins (because, why not?). And if someone offered them gold to do somenthing they were already pondering to do, why wouldn’t they take it? It’s a win/win situation for the ones paying, and for the ones moving.
Whatever are the reasons, it’s their own decision to make the move, they are not forced to do so just because someone sent them gold.
so if i already have a tag, it’ll give all my toons a tag? or will i have to rebuy? wish they made that part just a wee bit clearer
Aparently if you have 1-3 tags, all your characters will now have a blue tag.
Also, If you have 4 or more tags, you’ll get back 100g per tag above 3.
To be honest, the purpose of this post is to see if a Dev would be able to give some form of logical reasoning as to how this is good for the competitive health of 80% of their servers…
Well, you’re just wasting your time… This issue has been brought ever since the first wave of “Server X is buying guilds” came up. (Ever heard the nickname Buygate?)
What was Anet response back then? None… Why would Anet response today be different if the issue in question is the same?
Anet just posted in the reddit thread for this. You will only be reimbursed if you have 4 tags or more.
Which make sense given that the price will be now 300g (3 tags on the actual price). You will be refunded for any tag you bought above that value…
Coincidentally I know you are from the server in question… I would ask that you please do not derail this thread or get abusive in order to hide a VERY important issue in WvW…
You know so much that you didn’t even bothered to read my signature saying “Eredon Terrace” (While the server in question is Devona’s Rest).
Laughable…
You can actually prove your claims? If your answer is no, your complaint is invalid…
Wouldn’t that be fun
The PvF, maybe. The Matchup itself will suck…
btw TBT (a guild that was bought and paid for) troll, I’m not qqing over losing… I’m raising a valid point regarding the overall competitive health of the WvW aspect of GW2… Get a valid point or constructive thought before you run your mouth… or are you too busy extending your credit limit to buy another guild?
As far as I know TBT moved out of AR because Sniffy got on some drama-lhama stuff… Which wouldn’t surprise me since that’s the very same reason he left ET aswell…
Oh god… 46% chance of SF. Shot me plz…

Anyone who thinks a guardian is the easiest class to play, obviously has not played one. Btw, altruistic healing isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Your honestly better off with monks meditation so that contemplation of purity not only cleanses all condis, but heals based off healing power. Do the math and make the comparisons and you will see what I mean.
0/0/6/6/2 Magi/Cleric Guardian here… As long there are people around me to let me heal from buffing I don’t even have to touch my “Back to 100% hp signet” (kitten shelter). I don’t have to time my dodges if I don’t want to because I can use them for healing instead (Thank you Selfless Daring). Conditions? No problem, Purity of Voice will give me boons instead (And If I decide to use runes of soldier it’s even better).
What you said about needing skill again?
If you’re trying to claim that people don’t defend in Eotm, you’re quite mistaken.
If people are defending on EotM these days, things changed drastically… And for defending I don’t mean setting 1 or 2 superior ACs to do bag farm until the zerg is able to breach the gate. I mean serious defense to actually hold the godkitten structure.
I play both, warrior and guardian. Guardian need a lot more skill rotation for survive.
Altruistic Healing and a utility bar full of shouts…. There, you no longer need skill to survive as guardian. Only people nearby.
Staff/Whatever Guardian or Hammer/Somenthing+Warhorn warrior.
You can’t even get a good bag farm from Eotm. After wiping the terribad zergs in there around 2 times, they bail out of that Eotm instance to jump into another one.
Add to that that most of them are uplevels that drop in a single AC volley, and they don’t even drop decent loot (i.e. Heavy Bags). It’s just not worth it.
Some lower tier crafting material worth almost the same as T6 crafting materials… Like Linen for example…
You can’t even get a good bag farm from Eotm. After wiping the terribad zergs in there around 2 times, they bail out of that Eotm instance to jump into another one.
And then, you can do the same…
kitten … I’m not FR, i can’t go to EotM and jump on this discussion!
50 NA + 15? sounds pretty blobby :/
Well, SoS is 1 step away of having to face JQ/BG omnimapblobs. I don’t see a issue in fielding 60. This is not T8…
Some of the toy are used to exploit thing in WvW… Instead of fixing, they simply blocked all of them.
I’m getting this same error on my matchup SF/EBay/ET, but only for EBG.
I think offense is already too easy as it stand since being under the wall is more advantageous than being on-top of it. It’s kittened how easy a bad placed ACs (like the placements you want them to be) melt because they are powerless against the players standing below…
Also, offense can always bring the almight omega golems of hell which can simply ignore any ammount of arrow carts (and basically all other siege outside cannons) and take whatever they want since they have numerical superiority.
Esc
/15charrs
Neither does the green keep.
The cannons on the walls for green keep can hit the watergate… So technically there is at least a cannon for it.
necro ftw, enough said
With all the condi roamers, Necro is really a good choice… I love letting condi warrior do a full flurry on me so i can give back their bleeds and watch them die.
And gear should not increase damage in any way (from what I know)
Condition damage seen to affect conditions applied by siege. Other than that, no stats affect siege.
I believe all NPC guards should report enemy movement on the WvW map. A little alert icon for each NPC seeing enemy movement and a popup box when hovering over the icon stating approximate numbers of enemy forces.
This would create a real reason for guard posts and require more effort during sneak attacks. This would also help dispatch players to areas needing attention causing an increase in overall number of fights.
Orange swords used to pop up when there were 5 people in combat in the area (prior the 25 man change). People cried about how they were spotted everytime.
I don’t remember cannon and oil ever existed on that gate… And I’ve been red for a very long time.
no, no, no!
thats how people whined about ac’s and how they need more power so they could defend 5 guys against 10.000! and they got it. but they forgot that those 10.000 also can build ac’s…
we don’t need any more buffs that make game automated. actually we need to have everything back to normal. no more npc/ siege buffs.
do you guys understand my english? if you buff something in wvw, it means that it can be even more used/ abused by bigger numbers. is that clear? that concept? sry for my english… i am not sure i am getting out there… its not my 1st language… pls respond if im not being clear here.
I don’t see how a single veteran npc being able to take down a dolyak can help the dominant force more than the smaller one…
Just look at the suggestion here, go condition build on thief. P/D has zero chase, if anyone descides to just walk away from you there is really not a lot you can do to stop him.
Are you kittening kidding me? P/D still can use shortbow as secondary weapon to chase you with infiltrator arrow, and you can use the shadowstep signet and shadowstep itself as utility… Also Condition thieves apply torment, and I’m sure you know what happens if you try to run with torment. It’s much easier for me to get away from a D/P or D/D thief than from a P/D.
“I enjoy a challenge.”
“I’m stuck on a server that’s being completely dominated.”
“I don’t have the 1000-2000 gems, or the gold, to pay for a transfer, but it’s something I’m willing to work towards.”
Contradiction?
Ehm coff coff do you accept ppl from AR?
The only people we don’t accept are those who just want to come, recruit, and leave… Anyone else feel can feel free to come.
Because we have fought the same people for three plus weeks in a row.
Actually that’s only the second week in a row that you’re facing SoR…
Well, for NA the GvG scene is everyone stacking on T2 so any server there would be a good choice.
Now for EU I can’t say…
Stop playing ppt, seriously cannot believe people still do defense.
But… But… The bags!
How about sticking to the subject at hand, please?
I don’t understand why you think I posted out of the topic.
He complained “Why, after so much time to get to rank 1000, I’m not rewarded with somenthing big?”.
And I said “Look dude, I’m in a rank much higher than yours and barely received anything useful along the way. But it doesn’t bother me because I know it’s super easy to farm wxp thanks to EotM K-train, which mean that some people wouldn’t go through all the trouble that we go to get these rewards by doing regular wvw”.
And why Gliko did not throw AS more points while they were stomping us 5 long weeks. And I mean stomping, like 5vs50 – 24/7.
I took a look at the previous weeks of Arborstone. They did got around 124 rating points over these 5 weeks… Aparently, since Drakkar Lake was very close on the last 3 weeks (DL actually won the last one), AS didn’t got much rating to go up to 15th. If wasn’t for RNG matchups, you’d be facing Arborstone again.
Ring of Fire is losing for about the 6th week in a row and we can’t get out of this tier. We’re actually going points this week.
Because Ring of Fire is very close to Baruch Bay (Score-wise), and BB is 14th and RoF is 18th, glicko expect that BB should be roflstomping you and Drakkar Lake. Since it’s not the case, Glicko punish BB by giving rating to RoF and DL.
Also ThrillerMiller’s Sound, which is the server at 19th, is losing rating due Dzagonur be winning the matchup so far… Which doesn’t help RoF either…
But it could be worse… You could be stuck 14 weeks straight in the last tier without ever changing your oponents because of the rating gap and having nowhere to drop.
Edit: Nvm got word that [GAET] transferred off a couple weeks back.
I find ironic that a guild that had Eredon Terrace (Ghost Army of Eredon Terrace [GAET]) on the name transferred out…
The point is that the reward system doesn’t value long-term playing: complete randomization doesn’t feel rewarding.
That’s a casual game… Don’t expect rewards for long-term play.
Right now I get the same exact reward for a gold defense of a camp as I do for a gold defense of Garrison.
Untrue… Gold defense on camps give 85 wxp while gold defense on keeps give 200.
100 ranks takes way longer to achiev then getting the LS meta done every 2weeks.
Not true when you can earn wxp on EotM karma train
most will be happy to have another ally no matter what class they choose to play.
The truth on this increase as you go down the tiers…
2) No you cant just afk. You only get the successful defense when you kill something or destroy enemy siege. you could sit their hammering their siege with an ac for 3 ticks. you would only get it on the one it dies.
When we control either Overlook or SMC and we are trebbing each other, I just put some supply on the wall and get credit for the defense event (2-14 bronze, 15-24 silver, 25+ gold). And I didn’t event actively defended anything… Also, breaking siege does not award you defense event credit.
You don’t know the glicko hell… Only Sorrow’s Furnace, Fergusson’s Crossing and Eredon Terrace been there. And it ceased to exist very long ago…
