Guild Wars 2

Why do you need clothes for ?

Well when i saw yesterday afternoon that deso can get a full T3 SM in a few hours, with queue on map from SFR, it’s pretty clear that SFR have a lot of rethinking to do if they want to keep being in T1.

Prx is not here anymore to do the scoring job , so you guys should really start to be smart and do something else than a major blob to farm badges.

…………………………+1

People camp the jumping taking slot from real WvW player.

It’s a lot when u want to transfert an(or several) EU timezone guild ! So it won’t happen anyway.

Gl for your fight

Well you guys got a lot of queue starting 18h GMT+1. That’s not good for new people ;p

Jomg.9061:

Wanted to scout a bit there but “Full” even at 9 AM GMT +1 ,doesn’t look like we can transfer to deso.

Wait… what? Jomg coming to Desolation? Colour me sceptical… (I’ll delete this post if requested).

Well Arborstone just died and i want to kick Vizu kitten

So desolation seems like a viable choice, we’ll see.
I might troll a lot but my only real hatred is toward Vizu

Expect some reinforcement on Vizu side anyway , lot of people don’t think like i do

Dolyak give more point when they are far from they’re spawn camp.

It’s really boring to never see a true answers about siege weapon despawing, or do you guys at Anet dont even know how it works ?

MikeFerguson.8921:

Sure, I’ll spill dome details!

DonRobeez.3560:

- How does siege despawning work?

Unbuilt siege sites that are placed by players will go away if someone does not bring supply to them within 10 minutes. Anyone that adds supply to a site should reset that timer.

Completed siege weapons will despawn if they haven’t been manned for 30 minutes.

Why do we have to do this? Each weapon takes up some small amount of resources on the server because we register a few pieces of data for each weapon in the field. One thing we absolutely cannot do is remove the timer entirely or else we have a situation where someone can put down a ton of weapons that could potentially be around forever (or until matches reset) and it would start to cause bad things to happen to the server. We also use some placement restrictions to help prevent there being too many siege weapons on the field, I’ll explain those more in the next question.

It’s admittedly not an ideal system but it is something we are required to do to keep the game running as smoothly as possible. We’d like to make it more obvious that the weapons have some sort of despawn timer since it is a completely hidden mechanic, but we don’t have a way to expose that timer to players yet.

Fergy answered.

If you played a bit of WvW you would know that it doesn’t work like that most of the time.

This is not always true.
flam ram last forever, and most of thing in CBE never despawn. So does lot of things in BL-map, but i didn’t manage to find a pattern.

The only things that despawn 100% of the time is treb/golem.

With upgrade cost, and siege, clearly, WvW does not reward players enought.

Gratz for your win and Gl in T1, i hope you manage to kick Vs kitten !

That behind said, this week has been full of disappointment.
-BT non-existence gave deso all the free space needed to stack easy point,
-Desolation did not play in prime, or not enought dunno, but those score we managed to do was a 1rst(400-500 at 10pm , wtf guys),.
-BT hack , sad for everyone :/

Junal.2469:

Is this AS Prime Time?

This is :

Sometime the 30 min timer work, sometimes not, it seems so change with the location, but i couldn’t find any things consistent,
In cbe it seems that nothing ever despawn, but it’s not true on BL. But sometime it still stay for day in BL..

So , once again.
Anet, what about a real answers and not something c/c from the wiki ?

Junal.2469:

Now it’s 10:35am(GMT+3)…is this AS Prime Time?

So what ? You’re trying to show that you don’t know how to defend even after getting 5h to up all your stuff and zerging until 5am GMT+1 ?

Or maybe it’s just that you log off when you’re not 3v1 ?

Ranger are just the worst WvW class.

0 use for them in a group or in a bus. Any other class will have more synergy with the team.
Ranger have a solid single DPS, problem is, you got to get celerity to have a real burst, so that’s one utility slot down for a 4 s burst every minute. Beside single DPS is nothing , you need good AoE in WvW, and ranger only got one, with 24s CD.
Elem will deal and CC more, mesmer have far more utility, necro deal more and more utiliy two.
Pet are just useless most of time.

You can 1v1 pretty well but you don’t have any good escape skill so you can’t roam solo like D/D ele or rogue.

Result: nothing good to do with it. You can still got some fun out of it, but if you’re looking for any kind of optimisation, ranger is not the class to go with.

Keep in mind i have a 450 skill point ranger with 30k+ kill, so i know what i’m talking about.

Jomg.9061:

What about Durios guard not spawning with the proper faction ?

I thought we fixed that one too, might be a similar thing. I’ll try to get it looked at tomorrow!

Any idea what team color it seems to happen on?

My server is red this week, i believe the guard were spawning blue, but i’m not sure, mostly noticed they were hostile.

Byron and I are talking about the same things anyway, since we’re on the same match-up, i’m from arborstone.

Kind of boring prime yesterday on BT-bl…

Deso mostly camping in Askalion, and BT almost non-existent.

We still had few fight with massive culling but that wasn’t great :/

I’m still wondering how you guys let us go to 300-400 …

What about Durios guard not spawning with the proper faction ?

Man, you’re telling Us that you dont get any fun playing at night, we don’t either, so we don’t play.

I guess i’m moaning yes since as i just said i don’t get any fun playing , and i’m sad about it.

You ask what happen to AS, i tell you.

We never had any night team, just french people playing late when they feel like it, facing your number, they just don’t.

Our number didn’t change that much. Pretty much the same. Yours in fact did grew a LOT, and we’re bored fighting that zerg so we go to bed early i guess.

Same this afternoon, we’re outnumbered on our home map & EB.
Just finally stopped a 2h attack on belvedere, 2 server on us, while we got inferiority buff, really boring.

I hope you guys go to T1 this week so we can have a decent match up with our german ennemy.

Any match up with 3 min queue on all serv at all time would do.

Junal.2469:

@Jomg was that only daily as bases or one time tick?

Yesterday evening. We were about 300+ for the majority of the day too.

As for Judge, i did 3po yersterday evening (21h-00h), mostly on BT, i agree, but we got to wipe you 2 or 3 time between bay and garnison i think.

If you feel strong wiping some PU , that’s good for you.

Want to rename this “Desolation, auto-congratz” ?

Dunno why btw, since AS got to +485 in prime. I don’t see how this can be a good job from you guys :o

Same for Judge, beside running i didn’t see you guys do anything last night.

Talking about cheat, i saw a desolation guy rez himself 3 times in a row.

Engineer…?

Maybe i missed it, but i don’t see any skill that allow to revive 3 time in less than a minutes.. I’m not talking about a downed guy getting up, i’m talking about a dead guy getting up.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/List_of_engineer_skills

Talking about cheat, i saw a desolation guy rez himself 3 times in a row.

Maybe a bug with the ressurect item from gem shop, dunno.

Very good job with your recruitement desolation anyway. You really are not the same server’s as before. I wish you the best of luck beating Vizunah and SFR, you have the number to do so now, no doubts.

I think a lot of people on AS loose motivation to lag, clipping, and zerg, but still, you guys are a LOT all day & night long.

Don’t worry about T1 guys, you’ll fit in.

Why should i ? I see you, i kill you, end of the story.

I don’t mean to flam or anything, but i can tell you , since i was the commander on this one, no more than 8.

That don’t change the fact that you played that well and used the lord/82-pnj strenght at it’s fullest.
I had to put on my support stuff for the 2nd try to keep alive those PU.

Btw very nice use of siege weapon in Bay, you made us loose a lot of time on this.

salluks.6017:

and btw, iam fairly sure Arbo and BT are working together, both of u haven’t even gone to each other BL for the past 3 hours, and both of your are just sitting in Deso BL even if we dont have anything left there..

sounds fishy to me..

BT switched on AS bl but we killed them in Etheron and only then they switched on Deso-Bl, i guess Ogre did saw that since we had to abort our first attempt on bay because of this.

Please, don’t post here if you can’t get your fact straight…

For the slacking part, Truebanana.5936 summed up it all.

Ogre.1750:

3 members of that zerg just wiped your 20 morning glories 3 or 4 times on a row trying to take the lord down, amirite? ^^

That was movie material.

EDIT: Were in Bay come get us!!

We were 8 in garni and you 4 + Lord/pnj.

And we got you at the 2nd try.

Problem with number ? Spanish don’t know how to count ?

Gl to you all for this new match !

Had lot of fun in EB last fews days, awesome fight in SM.

Look like no matter what happen we’ll have the same match up next week, i’m looking forward so see how it goes with everyone at full strength.

From an Arbor pov it’s hard to keep moral up with such large number to face, especially without ours main guilds to counter Iron, but we’re kind of use to it after so many week in T1 facing Vs.

Anyway Desolation is doing an awesome job switching on all BL and sometimes EB when needed, you have the hightest number this week but still, you’re doing great.

Happy new year from ArborStone and see you next year for more awesome fight !

Well, desolation got insane number once again, gj recruiting kaz.

Several things make Vs N°1, canadian is not one of them.

-Vs population is young, 15-25, lot’s of student, so when come vacation time, they got numbers, and they can afford to not sleep. Even without vacation they already got high number because of this.
-They manage in the past month to get their pug extremely organize and therefore they’re motivated.
-On top of that, they got nolifer commanders who play for 12-16h straight
-French are just better at McM than other country, that’s true since Daoc, both Vs and As have demonstrate that.

Offski.4897:

And everyone knows Arb/Viz players jump between the two servers on a regular basis.

Every non-french player assume that’s true. But that doesn’t make it real.

suprNovae.5410:

Maybe you underestimated us or you are just relaxing at weekend and have better coverage on days after weekend?

Arborstone is in “xmas mode” and we’re not playing.

Well, Anet don’t care about WvW player, that’s not a big news, sokittenANET.

Kraken.7514:

Seems the night force of Arbor and Deso went on vacation. Tonight until 2 am was fun, with good fights as usual. After it was horribly boring pvdoors.

We love competition and beating our enemy in the battlefield and surely anyone that has fought with or against us knows that. We dont want shortcuts of any kind, our interest lies in fighting and killing our rivals.

Just bored of fighting your endless zerg.
I must say Kaz really step up for BB since last time we fought you. At least you guys have 1 guild who don’t insta wipe.
Still, fighting BB after EU prime time is not fun. Even after 3 week in D1 Vs H24 coverage , i didn’t saw any number like this .

But we get it : just wait few hours then recap everything, and let you go to D3.

Ok, maybe i was wrong about that.

Still, i want to point out the fact that is not a fun mechanism and i don’t see it purpose.

What the point of forcing player to reset them ?

Ok, thank you, but i know for a fact that it didn’t affect all the siege weapon in the same way before, why did you change it ?

Benjamin.7893:

I hope this won’t be the future of tier 2. Both AS and BB are pretty ‘average’ during prime time and cap everything during the night. Most boring matchup so far imo.

You mean: scoring +350/400 in prime time is average ? k

I know dude..
My point is : it’s not about balance issue here, it’s the same old culling that make them sick.

The problem is not about thieves themself, it’s about how can they hit us two or three times before they appear on ours screen ?

No, that’s not true. Golem and Trebuchet had one. That’s fine since they’re mostly attack weapon .
But Arrow Cart, Ballista and Catapult didn’t.
You have to build somes of those before any kind of attack , just to be ready.

Since last patch, some weapon seems to disappear after 30 minutes.

What the kitten anet ?

Things have been worst since this last patch. Plz revert it.

Well if you want real challenge, come to AS . Both BT and SFR have plenty people everytime, really no point joining them now.

Cyril.1486:

I hope Viz goes down and Seafarers comes up. Blacktide, Seafarers and Arborstone a potential RG vs MOS vs OSC all in the same boarder. Sounds tasty.

Sadly, i don’t think this can happen, unless BT focus h24 7/7 on vizunah and let As free cap everything they can.

I forgot to say this : if RG don’t inc on every attack me make on vizu, it would help a lot too :P

From an As pov, this match-up is getting boring.
We never had and still don’t have the number to counter Vs or Bt. So every day we fight outnumbered by our opponents.
We still manage to score some points since Vs can’t win a fight and BT have some off hours we can take advantage of, but it’s not enought and never will be.

+Vs never play for the first place, only for the 2nd.
