Guild Wars 2

Considering how the match is going, we may yet be up for a 3rd week of competition. Honestly, I look forward to it – though I hope we end up as another color for some added variety. I think SoR is definitely getting better at communication and coordination between the guilds and I hope it keeps up.

I’ve been in some great battles, and got in on some fun tactics this weekend. I gathered with VIG of SoR after they were pushed out of Dreadfall, stealing the keep while the current occupiers were busy on the south gate was quite delightful (I like to think our Mesmers’ timewarps helped ensure a swift victory).

Anyway, I certainly started this week focusing on Sorrow’s Furnace since they were #1, but I think the only real way to combat Darkhaven’s night crew (who sure don’t mess around), will be to wipe red off the map and keep em off as long as possible. Easier said than done, though!

Aside from the few hacks/bugged mechanics (which I’m sure are abused to some degree on all sides), the fights have been great. Keep it up!

The guild incentive is more influence and I think this is fine. As Massacrul said, there are many situations where a guild would not want to claim an area. Guilds can only have one camp/fort claimed at a time and this would cause claim to jump to another location. This causes problems with the Art of War buffs – for example, I wouldn’t want people to take an additional 5 supply from front line fortifications that need the supply. This also wouldn’t allow for communication and cooperation between guilds.

I have noticed that the torch #4 ability stealth can be interrupted before channeling is complete, resetting the cooldown to ~4 seconds instead of the normal, longer cooldown. This makes my Mesmer kinda thief like in that I can stealth very often for short bursts.

Intentional, or bug?
