I think AC need to be buffed more… People still can dance under AC fire to power ress the others… Right now the only things a AC can kill are uplevels and squishies.
I’m 1370, and I’ve gotten a few ascended rings (One Rabid, one Rampager and one Knights). No armor or weapons…
I got a bunch of Rares, and a few exotics along the way too…
Just because you can, doesn’t mean it’s designed for it, just as you can solo dungeons designed for 5 man teams. BL and EBG towers seem designed for 5-10 man groups to take while EoTM towers seem designed for 25-35 people to take.
That’s where you are wrong. It was said by a dev that the EotM events do scale to the number of people present, unlike the BL events that have a fixed dificulty. Of course, scaling not always end up making the event harder (look at the world bosses), but if they had a fixed dificult of 25-35 people, I really doubt a small man group would be able to do it. I belive the minimum scaling for champions is 5 people, which make it doable with smaller groups.
Come to ET!
Hehe okay you are probably not interested in Eredon Terrace but there has been a bunch of excitement lately in ET and if you and your guild ever feel like helping a server thats been down on its luck for quite some time, we would absolutely love to have ya.
Figured I’d throw it out there hehe :P
He said EU silver/gold. Somenthing we are not.
PvE player? Take off the full zerker gear and put on some knights and/or pvt. WvW is attrition warfare: who can survive the longest not who can dps the most.
Now Chaba … you have felt the pain of that theory being put to the test! your toughness might be nice in a zerg but in small havoc fights well….
kitten dem condis…
But Jeknar… spvp is sooooo boring…
Sometimes it’s better than some sucky matchups we get… I even got myself to Tiger (I’m rank 42 atm) during season 2 because it was super boring…
I routinely see dragon finishers popping for and against in T2 something that is fairly rare in other tiers I have played in.
AR have plenty of Dragons and they are on T8…
Baguuma, always gotta talk trash about others…
And T1 always says they are superior to everyone else… Your point?
how many guilds is CoSA up to now? was 4 last i heard
Only 2. Shamrock closed, and Sapphire is now “hardcore peepeetee” with their 40-50man blob. Scarlet still PvE scrubs…
Nope, basically all of EoTM was designed to be taken by a large group.
I beg you to differ… I’ve 3-mannned most objectives on EotM. The only objective that I wasn’t able to capture with 3 people is Workshop. (And the Observatory because I never had time to finish it, but I’m sure I can)
Now to solo somenthing, I really doubt it’s possible as the NPCs on EotM are much harder than the ones on regular WvW. You “easily” solo a Tower Lord on a borderland, but I doubt you can solo a Tower Lord on EotM.
Kodas know how to do the Hammer Train Meta better than anyone else.
that said, i of course am biased to say “come to ET!” but really, any of the lower servers would probably suit you if that’s what you are looking for as opposed to “teh blob!!”
Except ol’ Sorrow’s Furnace… Don’t embrace CoSA. You’ll be assimilated by the blob.
Anyways- it was just a thought- I have been playing wvw since launch’ish and it needs a good kick in the but. I know a lot of people log in just to see if the match ups changed and just log out when it hasn’t :/
And I know people that don’t even bother playing if they see that on Monday morning, their server is already 50k behind the lead with no chance of winning.
I rather balanced matchups over a bunch of unbalanced ones… Problem is: we don’t have neither
I rarely see people abusing of the knocking off mechanic in EotM except for your ocasional troll necro.
When “fights” occur, it’s more likely to be open field siege wars, than knockback wars over a cliff/bridge.
Server A in tier 1 loses. They go to tier 2 where they can easily win and will go back to tier 1 as the tier 2 team that replaced them likely lost. Same will happen in other tiers just as it did in Season 2.
All it does is creat volatility for one server in each tier.
And don’t forget that one server will be stuck forever on the same tier (The one that end up being 2nd all matches).
Any one who hasn’t played in T1 since the end of S2 has no clue of what they are talking about.
Well, it kinda goes by logic. He plays on FA, which is a tier 2 server, and is complaining about how zerg it is due it having too much people, what would one expect from a tier which each server have more people than FA?
He want to get out of zergfests and the T1 dudes come here trying to pick him up…
I am amused…
… and all of Yak’s Bend hold with abated breath awaiting the dev’s response…
But everyone on YB have AC mastery 5. I don’t see how the issue he posted can affect YB.
On the topic: I also find it annoying that I have to always say that I have all masteries on full to take over the siege that some non-mastery player is using. And even then sometimes it doesn’t work simply because the dude don’t care.
Against these loggers, anyone logging off mid-fight in combat will still have a death counted towards them, you still get credit for “killing” them, and they will wake up in PvE dead anyways. The only way I see this being detrimental is if you’re a hardcore PPT player, and that 1 or 2 or 3 points per stomp make the difference to you.
I’ve been seeing various guys simply disapearing and not giving me credit for the kill (exp in that case). It’s not always, but it seens to me that some people don’t get punished by doing alt+f4 during combat.
We don’t want guilds that just want to roll over easy fights and when they face a difficult one they will leave for the next “easy fight server”
No, thank you. Stay away from ET.
As a former BP player, that server is or at least was a pretty solid choice for roamers. If you play in off NA hours, almost any server below T3 is going to be pretty empty though. I moved to T2 and the roaming fights have been about as good as they were a year ago in T5.
Devona’s Rest, Darkhaven and Kaineng have quite a bunch of players during NA off-hours. Kaineng don’t have NA prime presence tho.
I don’t speak for servers I don’t know, so I won’t opine on silver and above.
Mag going ppt mode? If this isn’t a sign of the apocalypse, I don’t know what is.
Nah… That’s merely our old friend Population Imbalance… FA did pretty much the same except that they don’t have the nightly coverage that Mag does.
Also, if Mag really want to avoid this matchup again, they should ppt their kitten s off so their rating get away.
If you like fights, FA is the logical choice. We are in T2 and IMO it’s the best tier.
Eh, if TC continue to drop, and FA continue to stack, you’ll be on T1 soon enough…
If you want to stay away from blobs, choose Eredon Terrace or Anvil Rock…
Mag is being punished… lol
Eredon Terrace

I think the only key I rebinded is the dodge roll which I changed from V (Default) to R.
Scouts that tag a structure and kill at least 2 guards on it will get the event completion if this structure get flipped at any time as long the scout don’t leave the map. Sometimes it doesn’t work, but I get lots of rewards from towers which I forgot that I tapped them.
It’s not much, but it’s what we have so far…
Hamster, you forgot the Prosecute quote: “Nice quoting bro”
EU has way more varierity than NA and people are complaining?
Some places are easy to defend with little people. Some places aren’t so easy to do…
I personally don’t order upgrades in the southern towers due the enemy being able to call Siegeraper all they want. Why should I bother upgrading the hell of that tower if 5 people can come with the nearly unkillable NPC that can solo the tower if you open it for him? You can say “Oh just kill his siege and leave him there”. Yeah, but you’ll have to baby sit the tower for the rest of your life, or at some period a dude will see Siegerazer standing there and will say “oh let me open this tower for you” and there, you lost it. I personally opened towers for siegerazer many times while no one was watching it thinking it was safe (Siegerazer keep popping swords on the tower, so you can’t really tell if there is a attack unless you go check).
Keeps are rather expensive as you said. Rule of thumb: Fortify is not worth it. I never ever will order fortify. Same goes for Tier 3 personal upgrades. So, If you see a ET keep that is WP’ed, T2, and 1150 supply depot, it problably was me upgrading it and I wont go past over this point.
Now some keeps area real pain in the kitten to defend if you have few people. The worst of them is Bay. I do not dare to touch bay upgrades. It’s the easiest keep to take since it can be trebbed from anywhere in Tyria. At best I order cannons to troll people that place rams on inner. But upgrading bay for me is a big no.
The only keeps I really go on in upgrading like I stated are Hills and the EB keep (Garrison still viable, but it has so many gates that make it somewhat siege intensive, so I usually don’t bother too much with it).
Inner Hills can be pretty much held by 2 people if you have a treb for each gate and a AC for each breakable wall, so I know that I can hold an attack there without much help, thus maintaining the money spent.
EB is kinda self explanatory. Since its the only map where there is constant action in lower tiers, it’s the only map where you can expect to have people around to help you maintain the keep.
I can see this on a full shout bunker warrior. Can’t really see it on anything else.
Guardians need the precision for vigor on crit, Empowering Might, and AH. Seems like you give up too much by taking vitality/toughness/healing power.
Well, I can put a Superior sigil of Perception and Superior sigil of Accuracy on my weapon set, which gonna give me roughly 19% crit chance. Then I pick Maintenance Oil over Sharpening stone to add a few extra (I have a lot of Toughness/Vitality to convert in Precision with the oil).
I’m sure that if I hit near 30% crit chance I’ll be ok because that’s what I currently have on my Clerics/Magi setup without the above, and I’m sure I can facetank a lot of punishment while giving sustain for my allies to kill. If I can survive longer, it means my allies will survive longer, thus increasing the odds of winning the fight.
Worst case scenario: It won’t fit, and I can use my Ascalon Tears to buy back my magi gear and keep doing what I do these days.
Terrible. I’m sure lots of people will use it though.
Yeah, I’m eager to do it for my guardian. And I expect a lot of other suport focused players with guardians/elementalists/warriors to do the same.
Now my guardian can be even more immortal than ever.
This should not happen. WvW is designed to be the accessible pvp format in gw2.
Technically sPvP is the acessible and balanced pvp format for all levels. Even tho I agree that there should be no level requirement, your argument is pretty much invalid.
Honestly this week isn’t that much fun for us either, rolling over servers with less population is pretty boring. If it’s any consolation we’ll probably move up a tier and the exact same thing will happen to us.
That picture is from last night though and I can tell you because I was there that FC was actually running the outnumbered buff on your bl. So there is numbers there, just gotta organize them.
Are you sure it wasn’t SoR that was causing the outnumbered buff? I’m sure Kaineng have no one during NA as even ET can roll over them during that timezone.
I’d like more special events in wvw. even something like planetside, where events come out “capture and hold stonemist” “capture a majority of X borderland” and whichever team completes it by the end of the timer gets some bonus PPT or even just rewards (on the level of queens jubilee perhaps. bronze for 3rd, silver for 2nd, gold for 1st)
And reward more the highest populated server in the match? No thank you. We already have seasons to do that.
I think the only broken condition is immobilize… It shouldn’t stack.
All the others are reasonable to fight against.
In HC gameplay you need expensive runes/sigils. For the runes, sigils you spend ~100 gold/alts. The foods and stones are ~50silvers/hour. We spend a lot while earn only the 1/3 or less as others in pve. Bound sigils, runes (or pvp like character building) would be awesome
But who said this game was made for hardcore play?
Clones, spirit weapons and turrets doesn’t count as companions. If fricken minis count, this need to be fixed…
(edited by Jeknar.6184)
You’re on Kaineng… Kaineng only have people during OCX/SEA. All other timezones are dead.
The thread to promote the guild on the WvW discussion got deleted.
You wish, I am in EOTM for almost 3 hours and still couldn’t cap a kitten tower
You must be the Red side.
I beg you to differ friend…. Taking a tower on red side is super easy as you can just mass devourers and melt a gate. He’s more likely to be on blue or green while undermanned compared to the other two.
I know some uplevels that were far more useful than some 80’s i know…
If it was hod-ish, we’d have been in T1 by now. Duh.
Not really… Thanks to the seasons, 1 matchup after being bloated and HoD was already facing a T3 server (FA), from who HoD leeched a LOT of rating (They got 95 rating on the first week and 87 on the next week). If HoD was to climb the ladder while bloated, it would have taken much more time to face a server that would feed HoD that much rating.
But this is not the issue here, so I’ll not keep going on this topic…
Stop crying about Dragonbrand.
There I said it…
You can cap a tower on EotM with 0 resistance.
does bamf joe know we’re talking bout him lol
Why don’t we talk about the 5 man PAXA then?
It would make sense to me because one way to make players happy is to not make them mad/sad like a guild recruiting your server’s best players and then leaving.
I have no idea who you’re talking about *cough*Svrn*cough*
It’s not like people are forced to leave with the guild when they transfered. If these players enjoyed more the server community over their guild mates they sure would have stayed.
Got 1st place last week!
That’s ET’s 9th victory. Let’s keep going! Choo choo…
