Guild Wars 2

nice, now all of RUIN will transfer to Blacktide server

I just noticed this now…. perfect…

If Ruin moves to BT, well than the wvw BT guilds should just move to another server, simple as that. (come do Deso, no queues) and than what will RUIN do? move to another server again? will be the end of them.

My honest opinion, they should just man up and fight for server they are already in.

LOL sup with Vizuna at EB? its primetime, i doubt they dont have queues….

[Nug] nice fight on dawn’s eyrie

To Desolation, theres still hope.

Webley.1295:

GoD and Iron and RUIN should come to SFR!! then T1 would be fixed!!

Gatekeepers of Seafarer’s Rest [GoSFR]? nah man….. lol

Like the tittle says, i know the rendering issues are a problem, i have been “betrayed” by it myself too, it sucks, but they cant be used as an excuse for Blacktide being in the lead because i think its for every server and every player in general, or am i wrong?

Ppl just have to admit BT guilds (atm) are more organized and better and we have to improve if we want to catch up.

So this is BT gap/weak spot around 11pm gmt? judging by the income

Ianervan.3415:

To be fair, I see plenty of Ruin, but this is my first time fighting them so I don’t know how many I should be seeing.

You can’t expect that much from Ruin this time. Have you ever seen Blacktide zerg in the middle of the night?

Well, EB has always been full even @ 4~5 am gmt-0 during the week and @ 2am today there was no queue at all… and its weekend… i think this says it all

Where is RUIN? i barely see 1 of them, seems like they just give up too easly… and its like prime time in america around 8pm~11pm… seriously…. in Russia is like 7am or something and they r still dominating

This [RG] guild is insane, they are like a moving turtle, u can see that all members have foods, blooddusts 25 stacks, ofc they wipe every1 in their path.

gz to them ,best fighters i have seen.

some say they might be cheating, well i think not, but if they are… shame on them.

when they are dispersed, they are not that strong tbh,

just came from work and….. =O

how come BT is this strong? Is it the NA guilds or just the Russians aint sleeping?

Wandred.4583:

I hope Anet saw this thread. And make some decisions about NA guild.

wat does NA guild had to do with this ram army? it was IRON who put it up

DavidMonthen.4398:

gonna do it with golems tonight.

right xD

Zahdane.4029:

I believe this was SF guild who pulled this off. Jedbaca leading if I’m not mistaken. If I am, someone correct me.

ok it seems our might have been the 2nd biggest 1 xD, video is epic

another angle xD

This was right next to Vizuna’s spawn point exit on Arborstone borderland

Dacromir.6207:

If that’s the case with you, this food will be borderline useful at best.

which food? the one that gives HP when crits?

anyways, there also some other that look apealling like, 150~200 power for 30 sec after you kill an enemy + 8%~10% crit dmg

Dacromir.6207:

I take Omnomberry Pie. It gives me a good offensive boost with 70 precision, and a great defensive boost from the lifesteal (66% chance to steal 325 life on critical, no cooldown).

ya i tried that 1 today and it seems appealing because im full cannon glass and i get like 67% crit chance with that food, but i didnt know how much HP i would get, now that you say its 325 it might be good , specially when u do dagger storm on an enemy zerg

what food do you thiefs use for wvw, i kinda want to hear opinions because there are many types and many prices

im interested on price/performance relation, that being said, MAX 1 silver each piece.

7pm GMT and we are holding good, but it seems our biggest threat this week will be Arborstone since VS seems to be a bit burned out

Knasher.5607:

Its midnight GMT, the clocks have gone back now. Same thing with the acheivments, they used to reset at 1am, now they reset at midnight.

ok so that means within an hour or so WvW will be rematched

Notrub.6925:

For the last 3 weeks it has been right around 8PM eastern time, +/- 30 minutes…:o)

hmm so thats at 1 am London/Lisbon time (gmt 0)

can any1 from Europe confirm this?

is it at 00:00 gmt 0 or 1 am?

Malediktus.9250:

When a feature gets removed because of hackers you know the fail is epic.

It was also cauz of inbalance issues most of all, i mean if a world who nightcapes and gets the 3 orbs they will become even more OP,

anyways, feels like you are cheering for the hackers, maybe you were one of them? idk just saying

gz to Vizuna for their victory, i dont think any player should not sleep/eat just so they win a matchup but ok, i mean, many players end up dead or in hospital xD due to those extreme situations

anyways gz, you fought well

removing the orbs was the best thing to do

the only way for they to take us a bit down in pts is only when they team up, just like its hapenning right now as i write this, its sad, just shows how weak they are individually

seems their alliance is back up again, they are desperate, they see us reaching 1st place

primetime and we holding good 2vs1

i gotta be honest since both FRs decided to stop the alliance i can say that i respect French players a bit more

+1 respect

ladyfabulous.1403:

I’m not saying you are bad, Desolation EU/US is quite a good server indeed.

i gotta agree with you

guys i just seen this and i was like =O

check the screenie lol we r getting pro

EPIC lol

btw the orb arborstone has its on “their” garrison (which we capped it) and its bugged since this matchup started!!
Anet not doing anything about it???

anyways for those who say Deso doesnt deserve to be in tier 1… you’re wrong…. we have been dominating in primetime with 0 orbs at least from 5pm to 9pm gmt -0 every single day (after that i go to work so idk wat happens after 10~11pm), and ofc we also are dominating during off time when Ruin comes.
the screenie on the atch was taken at like 18:45 gmt0

I had to be a Norn + thief and i made it as small as possible but still im a giant compared to humans in general, feels like every human char has its size to a minimum… why is that? so ppl wont see you in pvp and u wont be targeted so easly? (shame on you ppl)

This is why i think human character minimum size should be raised or give Norn characters an attribute bonus!

Afterall if we are huge and we are more likely to be spotted and targeted more easily (and die more) we should also have more HP or defense or atk bonus due to our physical strenght dont you agree?

Rpgtabbycat.5869:

I understand how you feel but doing so would prevent some people from being able to play in wvw if their only time to play was during the night.

exactly that aplies ME, i work nights so this is like prime time for me, do you think i can have fun being outmmaned in wvw right now? ofc not, i sadly have to press the quit button and play something else

u gotta love the balance, i mean, if i was sure that all this conquering was from european players i wouldnt be so mad about it, but im pretty sure its US guildies mostly as like i said at 2am gmt0 deso was very inactive

US guilds playing on EU and vice versa are just RUINing wvw i mean im on shiverpeaks and at 2am desolation was pretty much inactive and kodash slightly more present on borderlands and we owned like 50% of wvw, suddenly at around 3am and from nowhere this RUIN or IRON guild and many more desolation enemies completly outmanned us and the tables turned out so fast that they were owning about 60% within like an hour or so… im not enjoying the pace wvw goes and i bet many others arent either.

In medievel times conquering could take years, decades, etc.

This current wvw pace is just way too fast, for exemple, it doesnt make sense the castle on EB changing owner for about 3, 5 or more times in a single day…

why not just region lock this game + a couple of score tweaks during nights so ppl stop complaining about this night capping “issue”?

its getting frustrating tbh….

Coffeebot.3921:

Hey, thought I should enter this here, be warned… there’s simple maths.

If you do 1000 damage and your base crit damage is 150% then you would hit for 1500 damage. However to compare crit damage against normal damage we must consider two situations, first is increasing damage by 50% and the second is increasing crit damage by 50%.

Increasing damage by 50% would lead to 1500 damage, on a crit a person would deal 150% damage, as such the total damage of a crit would be 2250.

Increasing crit damage by 50% would lead to 200% crit damage, on a hit of 1000 damage the person would deal 2000 damage.

Based on these numbers we can see that a damage increase creates more over all damage (crit and non-crit) than just increasing crit damage alone, this leads to a situation where increasing damage is ~15% better than increasing crit damage by the same percentage.

Based on this information we can conclude that Superior rune of the Scholar which gives 8% crit damage, 165 power and 10% damage while health is above 90% is the single best rune for backstab thieves based on the fact that it provides the single largest damage boost of any rune/gem combination.

ya but u wont have much crit chance as it is in my build = less dps

Sundial.9015:

Joriel, thank you so much for this post. You just saved me 14 gold as I was about to purchase a set of the eagle!

you are welcome,
anyways i found a slight better solution for the build, and i have updated my original post

Syn.3459:

you can also use ruby orbs for 12% crit damage, 84 precision and 120 power OR just replace your 1 rune of air for a single ruby orb (2% crit damage, 20 power and 14 precision)

so for 42s you get 12% crit damage, 4% crit and a about 4% damage increase (if my maths right, that’s what 120 power converts too)

ruby orbs are such a great cheap alternative to runes

you’re right, i’v updated me OP

not if u want crit

ya so u cant use the exotic orbs on gear?

And this is why;

Superior rune of Eagle: 3,5g x (6) = 21gold

good alternative is to buy 5 runes of ranger + 1 ruby orb which will only cost around 6gold total and only less 0.5% critical damage because ya the 6th eagle one is 5% crit dmg only when a target is <50% hp so its like “2.5%” the whole time if you’r fighting a boss or dragon PLUS +20power +14crit along with the orb

so 1 ruby orb will give you 2% crit dmg the whole time +20pw +14crit

conclusion; u can save 15 gold and have pretty much the same effects as the superior rune of eagle set for a 1/3 of its price

Belmont.4682:
