Guild Wars 2

EotM was turned in a bad Karma Train spot by the players… Its a totally spoiled place that doesn’t allow you to learn/enjoy WvW.

Depending on the server you are and the time you play, being on the main maps even as a uplevel, will help more than hurt your server.

DH took overlook from ET many days during week 2 of the league and held it for several hours due we having no one to actually be there and stop them from doing it (coverage issues). Yet, I don’t see the problem there (Other than the power of better coverage). If we were able to do the same, we would do so. Holding a fortified objective is much easier than trying to defend a paper keep. Then why not upgrade it if we are capable of doing it?

Dummy At Work Network [Dawn] – Eredon Terrace

If you see a zerg [RUN] – Ehmry Bay

I gotta admit, I’m kinda impressed with the ammount of low ranked players… I was expecting to fall really behind when wxp became account wide since I always been very far behind of many people (Took me a lot of time to get 2 toons on bronze).

Now, I keep seeing a lot of bronze or lower ranked players, when I was expecting to see more Silver+ like me. (I’m 957 atm)

Transfer out of T1 then if you don’t like that political bullkitten? Really… T1 is the only place where I ever heard of “Map politics”.

I used to always start with 4 on supply, 2 on build/repair master…

Then if you are in a server that always have zergs rolling on and you are in this zerg, you should go for applied fortitude to increase your survival…

If you are more a person of walking in small groups or is stuck in a server that doesn’t have people to keep zerging all day, you should take some of the basic siege masteries because its problable that the others don’t have: Flame Ram mastery, 1 or 4 Catapult mastery, 1 or 3 Trebuchet mastery.

If you spend more time defending than attacking, you should rely on the masteries of defensive siege instead: 2 or 4 Arrow Cart Mastery, 2 or 4 Ballista Mastery, 2 or 4 Cannon Mastery, 3 Burning Oil Mastery (yeah I’m serious), 1 or 4 Mortar Mastery.

Some people might argue “What about Applied strenght?”. I personally find its benefit to be small for the ammount of points you have to spend on it (its 115 ranks for 100 power/condi, so less than 1:1) and that’s why I only put points on it when wxp became account wide (Now I have all the masteries I listed above, so I can spend these 115 points without thinking I’m missing somenthing).

You beat me to it :/.

I love yall too…

I was being punished when this thread came up (I’m still being, as I can’t start threads), so I decided to not post about it at all.

Orrian Truffle and Meat Stew so I can roll more (And being a guardian, heal more)

Lasica.5068:

No one has decided who will win as that won’t be determined until the final week. However, we have decided who won’t win.

+1

DavyMcB.1603:

I don’t see the difference, now, next week, next month, people can still decide who win. We know TC can’t win over JQ on a fair and square fight, please don’t kid yourself.

Well, that’s TC’s problem, not BG’s. Let them decide what they think that is best. Your server have no say on it.

Banzie.5248:

o_o…………………….

Rough mornings dude… It’s the life on ET…

When you transfer you get locked for the current matchup and the subsequent matchup…

That’s what you get for transferring during the leagues for better rewards… Stick with it.

Firebaall.5127:

Increased supply capacity. Enough so that the top tier could build a siege piece solo.

Solo build superior trebs? lol

Teste.2376:

Island of Janthir does not have a SINGLE good commander! Why, the other day a commander was RAGING about “Only 3 people on tag? Really?” WHILE everyone else was roaming, but no one had the GUTS to tell him that was because his COMMANDING simply sucks DDDDDDD:

I’ve lost the count of how many times I’ve had to duo towers and 4-5 man keeps because that’s all my server could muster at the time. 3 people in the tag is a lot depending of the server you are and the time you play… But i know that wasn’t the issue there.

In the end the short answer for the question:

None

SoS will be the 3rd server on the last matchup… TC/JQ will duke for 1st without BG.

May the best server win… (And it’s not going to be BG)

The best anti finisher is: Don’t get downed

They already stated that the maps are the biggest they could make with the technology they had at their disposal… Stop asking for bigger maps.

skyhawk.5149:

Active ET members plz change your forum sig to something ET perferably
“I am Eredon Terrace” <3

noplz

Yeah… I made the math, and if Gold was actually running by the regular standarts, SoS would finish 2nd (lol wut?).

I guess JQ/TC doing 2v1 on BG have another excuse to continue, more than sheer hatred…

Rezz.8019:

If loot was reduced then no one would play eotm. Keep it the way it is. It’s much more profitable than old WvW anyway.

However, since there are no points, that loot is the only reason to play it.

FTFY

Dhampyr.2104:

Andrew Clear.1750:

Well, coming in 2nd in 2 matches is worth 6 points. Coming in 1st and 3rd is worth 6 points. Now, the server coming in 2nd each time, should be able to have the higher world rating, and that is the tie breaker. FA will finish 2nd everytime, and YB should have the same number of points as FA when the season ends. But, FA will still be ranked higher in the Glicko rankings, and will get 2nd.

This only holds true for a season with an even number of weeks. In the case of this nine-week season, the server with all the 2nd place finishes ends up lower.

For all second places, it’s 3 pts X 9 weeks = 27 points

For the server that swaps -

5 +1+5+1+5+1+5+1+5 = 29 points, placing higher in this style tournament than the server placing second the entire time (and beating this server every time they match up).

Bottom line, this type of tournament is broken for this amount of participants.

But the server that will get 2nd for “all weeks” on the top match of the league, got 5 pts on the second week. So, it’s actualy 3 + 5 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 29 (same as the 3rd server), oposed to 3 × 9 = 27 which would result in being ranked lower than the server swaping in the 3rd place. The server that will actually get 3 on all matchups is the server that get second on the middle match of the league.

Keep PvE away from WvW… Thank You…

Why didn’t you added that to our other thread?

Johje Holan.4607:

They at least need a substitute for uncapped AoE.

You mean like this? http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Arrow_cart

No because that damage doesn’t scale. It hits 5 people as hard kitten. And its basically spamable.

ACs actually hit 50 people… Its on the tooltip. L2read.

This topic again?

Seriously… This been around for so long, along with downed state, that I don’t know why people still cry about it.

WvW have far bigger problems to deal with…

Swagger.1459:

no bag, no win. allowing the enemy to get away before you kill them means that you lost, are weak and inexperienced.

Tell that to the GS warriors and their whirlwind, rush, bull’s charge “you’ll never catch me” combo. Unless you’re a GS warrior yourself or a thief, it’s likely that you will never catch him, no matter how good you think you are

style.6173:

Wow. A lot of people who run away are in this thread.

You came to add yourself to the numbers? :P

Iluth.6875:

However I’d be more supportive of free transfers being given to doomed servers.

That just break up the servers you don’t consider doomed… Look how people bailed on Borlis Pass pre-season…

This will only transfer the problem to another server, over and over…

Well, I guess my vision of blob is different of yours… The only guild I know that can field that much consistently down here on bronze is CoSA. And CoSA is the official Zerg-Blob-Guild around these parts… (Ask any other bronze server player)

Anyway, good luck on your recruitment… Its a shame that SoR fell apart, I had fun fighting you guys while I was on BG and we were both T2.

If it doesn’t happen we’ll welcome you, along with Ehmry Bay, down here on T8.

Mogar.9216:

I.e do you think it’s valid for a thief to drop the hut during a duel? if it’s ok for the thief to drop a hut then why is it not ok for the ele or warrior to run off to regen some health and wait out a cool down?

Because stealth doesn’t put you out of combat as long you don’t go on OoC range (The other person will get OoC too if the thief does it)… The regen comes from the last shadow art trait… Going OoC to regen mean you lost the fight already…

But if you mean, kite in the combat range to wait for the cds on healing spells and use them, it’s valid. Even on “offical duels”. I do that quite a lot on my warrior while healing signet, adrenal health and mango pie do the rest.

SoR… You’re not on T1 anymore… Take my advise: Don’t ask for zerg blob guilds.

Most of these guild come down to lower servers, feast upon our already low population, and when they get annoyed by somenthing, they leave with everyone that they could grab from your server… I’ve seen this happen many times, and I’m sure this will happen again.

Instead let the casuals do the zerg blobing… While small guilds work to suport the zerg. Many small guilds can be just as effective as a big one (or maybe even more effective depending on how they handle things).

I don’t know why people are so upset about the PvE’ers getting wxp from EotM and getting their ‘wxp titles’… These people will likely never be in the actual WvW to show them anyway…

Also, I would pretty much laugh if I ever stomp a platinum/diamond or whatever other higher rank because the dude was just a scrub who never actually learned to fight.

Pinkamena Diane Pie.8054:

Warriors are supposed to be warriors, to see them flee faster than thieves is just an insult to the class they are playing.

Thieves don’t need to be faster than warriors because they can vanish in plain sight.

Nadha.6097:

I have one aswell
What is you opinion of people moving down others, that clearly don’t react to the fight?
why oh why do they always get me when I write in chat or especially when I look at the map?

And if I go alone, I am taken down by teams. always. sigh. so much for “duel”. it mostly doesn’t happen.

Some EBay thief dude from [SaD] saw me standing in the middle of the road… He circled me for a while and went off to do whatever…

Even tho I was typing on map chat, I was aware of his presence and if he decided to engage me I was ready for it (I would just press ‘esc’ and hit him with all I have)

Now, how to avoid it… Eh, autorrun might help you (I never open map in the middle of the road without being on autorrun) as the enemy need to get close to you and you be moving… Unless you’re running TOWARD them, then, bad luck. You’ll hear the sound of fight regardless if the map is open or not, so you can close it, and fight whatever you draw there…

Well, they gave Dragon Rank to a bunch of rank 54+ dudes… They can pretty much give us titles if we are on Tier 3 of these achievments.

Arahael.3721:

To all the trolls of all servers, please stop. It is not funny.
Moderators, one more post for the trashcan.

You know that all the discussion is being held in this single thread right? (All other threads got deleted)

You know what gonna happen if this thread get deleted right? (More countless threads about it flooding this forum)

You know you’re making a bad request right? (If you don’t want to read about it, you can just skip this thread)

biofrog.1568:

Should just enable cross-server map chat in the WvW maps.. Sure would empty out the forums <G>

You don’t know what you are asking…

Sarrs.4831:

Zaxares.5419:

I’m not going to get into the whole debate about whether 2v1 is right or wrong, but my personal feeling is that ANet is not going to outright block it from happening.

Something I’m wondering; the people calling foul on TC and JQ. What do they expect to happen? Mass bans?

They don’t want you to be rewarded because you “cheated” to win the ranking you’ll have at the end of the season. That’s actually the only thing Anet can do without stepping in a even bigger mess…

Now I ask: Will this make JQ/TC stop 2v1ing BG?

The answer: No

There is quite a bunch of people willing to teach the newcomers… The problem is that the newcomers aren’t willing to comeback after seeing that life is rough on ET’s WvW. >.>

I’ll problably take the teaching mantle again and see what we can do (I’ve been having a lot of free time due i’m being unemployed). But its hard to pick up people from our own server on these megaserver things…

HARDOFREADING.7298:

Not exactly true…The fact I/We have chosen not to cheat is because there’s such a thing as Honor. The pathetic troll attempts….the sickening lack of scruples….the bogus attempts to justify cheating… they are what they are…but make no mistake about it….If I choose to exploit/cheat…There will be NOTHING that can save the Borderlands & EBG.
Whole zergs will be strolling unopposed into places you thought were secure by means that will illicit hacking cries from now until you grow up.
At a certain point my respect for the constituency/the engine/the format, and Fighting with honor will be out the window. I reserve the right to cheat in kind by whatever means that pleases me at the time.
You can run your mouth…you can spew nonsense…you can ACT like you’re suddenly talented. There are people that work for anet that know what’s possible for a very very few of us to make happen.Whether or not I choose to release a fraps showing what’s possible is going to depend on what kind of discipline is handed down later today.
Send this entire post to Devon cuz I kid you not when i say…as ugly & unfair as this weekends shenanigans have turned out to be…wvw is going to be 100x uglier if there isn’t a penaty for tc/jq’s collusion. If not…everyone across all servers will be in every keep/tower/spawn across all 4 maps and you’ll be patching an absolute kitten ton of exploits.

TL/DR: “Since we can’t beat these guys 2v1’ing us, I’ll teach everyone to glitch and hack stuff, so arena net have to work double/triple”

Friend… There are so much problems in wvw, that I wouldn’t be surprised if people actually doesn’t give a kitten about the exploits you want to teach everyone… You’ll just ruin your own game doing that, and you know it. Is winning really THAT important?

Thank you for the answers.

What’s the difference between Clones/Illusions/Phantasms? I’m kinda lost when traiting my mesmer… There are traits that says clones. Some says Illusions, and some say Phantasms.

I know that the Phantasms are the Transparent ones, which are summoned by specific skills which have “Phantasm” written on them (Such as phantasmal disenchanter). But what I would really like to know is if the traits that say clones and/or illusions, do affect phantasms aswell.

Thank you in advance.

SFShinigami.2015:

From what I understand, the reason last weeks attempt for BG to fix the match failed was because someone on SoS figured out that SoS would get a bunch of matches with BG for the rest of the season and many on SoS very strongly did not desire to be in matchups with BG.

Smart players maybe if another server had more of them…

If they were allied with BG, they would have no reason to worry about more matches with BG. It is almost like the only thing that makes sense is, like several SoS members have said, they did not 2v1.

Well, SoS is part of the “GvG heaven trio SoS/Mag/(insert whatever server Agg is here)”. And since I don’t think the T1 blob guilds are very found of GvG’s, they wouldn’t like to be stuck with the T1 servers for many weeks.

But in fact, I don’t really belive SoS had much intention of 2v1 along other than taking advantage and trying to nab some points from whoever was losing (JQ in that case)… When weekday coverage hit in, they problably saw they couldn’t keep up with JQ and said “oh kitten that”.

scerevisiae.1972:

did it ever occur to you that JQ/TC are simply attacking BG because they’re the easiest bags? people call them bag-gate for a reason you know.

Nah… They would be on EotM if that was the reason… There isn’t anywhere in any server where you can farm bags easier than there.

So much Karma Trainers scrubs to be rolling over…

As long there are population imbalances, no form of competitive WvW should be made. Period.

BAITness.1083:

SkyShroud.2865:

yea….

i agree about the part about BEASTgate, LOL, that’s really something egoistic

to be at the top, one gotta be dirty to be at the top, that’s how things are.
do people really think that top servers are top servers because they train hard to become skilled? top servers are top servers because they work hard to absorb players from other servers, put down others so they looks better

if the server die, people will just gonna say “aw, what a shame” but the truth is no one cares, everyone prefer to eat their popcorn and watch the show

Holy smokes a server giving itself nicknames is all it took to rustle your jimmies enough to break code of conduct and win trade to first in the tournament?

Fortunately for both of us, we know that is not true. This would have started long long ago if this was that people didn’t like the various nicknames BG gave itself. Seriously though, how immature does someone have to be to get mad at people for having a nickname for their server? We weren’t even the first to come up with the idea, and the name isn’t rude to anyone.

Eh, that’s true… BG was already Beastgate when I was still on it, and hey, we were still stuck at T2 with SoR and TC…

Rimmy.9217:

- snip

So much truth in these words… I would drop some tears, but we are already swimming on “someone else” tears so i’ll refrain from that…

Jumpin Lumpix.6108:

dude nobodys even playing in wvw lol I dunno wtf ur talking about the organized 2v1 + lack of game mechanics = nobody is playing wvw, I hope that’s the outcome u like and again thanks for not throwing any of that rage at arenanet. cuz right ITS MY FAULT that your server is a POS..

So much rage… You’re completely blinded by it…

Really friend, go take a break… You need it.

Jumpin Lumpix.6108:

again your blaming other players for your servers misfortunes? I mean why direct it at me? its not my fault your server is outmanned but instead why don’t u blame all that rage at arenanet for not fixing wvw and making it more balanced and more manned frequently through the use of some mechanic, you instead turn it towards BG players like its our fault? or that now we should know how you feel.. We don’t care how you feel and honestly I don’t care but arenanet should its there f-in game.

And why BG is crying here like if anyone else care about how they are feeling? WvW is meant to be a unfair kind of pvp… If you want a balanced and fair pvp mode, spvp is where it is.

Now we have YOUR SERVER flooding out these forums because they won’t win the league. And you expect that people don’t get upset with that?

Jumpin Lumpix.6108:

well thanks to arenanet not allowing any kind of way to limit 2v1, all 3 servers in t1 have nobody to fight now. TC and JQ wont fight each other and BG is now outmanned on EBG on a weekend, during a tournament, in t1 gold.

RIP wvw good job arenanet. Guess everyones gonna go play a diff game now.

“All 3 servers on T1 have nobody to fight now” – There is a plenty of people to fight…

If JQ and TC don’t want to mess with their scorings, it’s just not take the objectives (thus not affecting the ppt) and do some open field battles for fun.

And blackgate have two endless hordes of people that want them dead to fight against… So they have quite a bunch of people to fight too.

And about being outmanned on Eternal Battleground… Friend, my server have outmanned buff on Eternal battleground (and in at least one other map) 24/7 in non-league weeks… Don’t come crying to me about that because you don’t know how bad it can get.
