Guild Wars 2

Every server has an active WvW community. I’ve been playing all week. First 2 days CD was in the lead (narrowly). 3rd day IoJ owns everything. I do some reasearch, found out about guild transferring to IoJ the previous night. It is NOT a coincidence. It is not a testament to your skill. It’s a numbers game. Plain and simple. If 3 WvW guild transferred to CD tonight this situation would totally reverse.

Bookmarking this thread so I can bump it next week when IoJ is last place t1 and all the guilds that transferred there middle of this week jump ship again. /lol incoming….

AzureWatcher.9567:

So you’re celebrating because everyone migrated to your server, giving you a 24/7 population advantage?

Doesn’t seem like such an achievement to me.

^ This.

And to OP, IoJ was getting curbstomped first night of reset. Second night was close. And I guess the third night is when all the people transferred to IoJ because that’s when the map turned red.

Numbers =/= skill. If you’re “dominating” AND your queues are over an hour, don’t applaud yourself.

Invest in a new keyboard now, so when your “2” key breaks after a few days as a thief…

Irony.5203:

Don’t worry about blackgate. The beast is awakening as we speak

4 hours later and you’re still last place. The beast sure does take it’s sweet time

You DO realize dyes don’t show up for enemy players, right? Also, not being able to see enemy numbers, or getting a rough idea of classes, is just as bad as lag. My ranger has 1500 range and I still hate the rendering issue. I would hate to be a melee class and have to put up with this.

And for the record, I wouldn’t mind at all if they turned enemy customization off and made every enemy class look the same. Make the gear that’s rendered reflect the enemies gear level.

IoJ just lost Bravost to blackgate. They took out our lord while walls and doors were still up. Just appeared on top of the walls.

So if you guys keep the hacking/exploiting up, I’m sure you’ll catch up in points!

I’m looking for a guild that is serious about WvWvW and knows what they’re doing in a WvWvW match. I’m willing to transfer servers. Some background:

- My main is a ranger, also leveling a mesmer
- I have a mic as well as vent and teamspeak (obviously I can d/l whatever voice software your guild uses.
- Eastern time zone
- I’m active most nights
- I’m a friendly player who loves being on a team.

@Macovan.3650 Don’t let the door hit you….

But he shows the severe imba of the thief in its current form.

Effing ridiculous! Any time his opponentS (always more than 1, wish i could do that with my class), start to do damage he just stealths and evades until he’s off c/d…. such a cheesy class.

Macovan.3650:

So, can you explain me why there are so many worthless lvl80 thieves in WvW that can’t do anything to anyone and just dying non-stop? I have played WvW for a long time and have seen a good thieves by myself only couple of times.

Um… I dunno what you’ve seen, and honestly don’t care. I could go out on a limb here and say you play a thief, but, well…. see the previous sentence.

I see tons of thieves in WvW. I let out a huge sigh when I walk up to a fight and immediately see 3+ dagger storms.

@Shadow Phage

I agree with mesmers being more dangerous. But the difference of course being a mesmer must be “well played” to be dangerous. Whereas any idiot can figure out a thief.

They are very OP, hence the enormous popularity. They are the reason I no longer do sPvP. How the thief made it past beta as broken as they are is well beyond me.

Siege weapons are an equalizer against larger forces. On defense siege weapons can hold attackers at bay until help arrives. On offense the attacking force has to have siege if they want to take points.

Without siege weapons W3 would be even more tilted in favor of higher pop servers. It would be whoever has the biggest zerg wins. Way more than it is now.

Please tell us your gear/build

The OP thing about Dagger Storm is the length of time it lasts. Unless you have a retaliation, blink, or something else handy, you’re screwed. Even 2 dodges is not enough to mitigate the attack.

Oh and it does crazy dps….

@Sporadicus

So what about ballista and arrow carts? Those are siege weapons, and they are very good at defending structures. The catapault behind the gate is a little stupid, imho. But the idea that the only way to defend a tower/keep/castle should be to run out and fight everyone is just ridiculous. Especially when you consider that more often than not, the force attacking outnumbers the defenders.

The tower/keep itself is the first line of defense. Being able to hide behind the wall, only exposing yourself when you’re ready to attack is the best way to overcome an enemy who, while outnumbering you, is completely exposed.

Night capping is fine. And as they’ve said many times by now, ANet isn’t doing anything about it so might as well forget about it.

Orbs are OP. In a game where everyone is relatively equal, even a 1% bonus is huge. And orb bonus are higher than that. Coupled with the fact that the reason the winning server has all 3 orbs is usually because the population imbalance is in their favor… then you have an enemy that outnumbers you AND they have a huge bonus. They need to rework the orbs completely.

They could make it so the orbs are for score only. Or maybe you get the buff for having 1 orb, but capping other orbs doesn’t give you an additional buff, just takes away the buff from that orb’s server.

Now stop dragging my good name through the mud.

This thread (your thread) started with you flaming BG. And up until DB started losing, you have continued to do so throughout the thread. You don’t have a good name bro. And you’re the one dragging whatever kind of name it is through the mud.

Eicherjw.3926:

Gotcha, so basically what you’re saying is that you’re 12. Ok. Thanks for clearing that up.

Can a Mod please close this thread?

What? You don’t like a post on the internet so you cry about it, that makes me 12? Seems like that says a lot more about you than it does me….

Eicherjw.3926:

Just let this dumb thread die in peace.

Yes we need to make room for more important threads like….

Lemme look at the other thread titles….

Hmm…. still looking for a better one….

This may take a while

He does not speak for Dragonbrand and neither do I, but constantly bashing him shows just what type of person you are and everyone else who does. Yeah he made a dumb mistake with the original post, but we all make mistakes. Thinking that one person speaks for possibly thousands of people on just 1 server, and probably 50% of those people never even read these forums. Dragonbrand is a good server, one I am proud to be on since headstart. We have a lot of great people on Dragonbrand and sure we have bad apples, but so does every other server.

He may not speak for the entire DB server, but he certainly bashed the entire BG server.

They’re bashing back. Yeah. He made a mistake. Now he’s paying for it.

I dunno man, I was on last night and DB was content to just throw themselves against SM castle all night. When I noticed you guys had the outmanned buff I left to go farm. FA was doing really well last night.

Making a pvp video is fine. Calling players noobs because they got beaten by an OP class…. that’s pretty lame.

Yeah DB loves to exploit the whole rendering thing. Mesmer makes a portal in the middle of battle and BAM! Invisible army ports in and destroys everything. They’re not really better players, they just know how to abuse the system.

Wait wait, a server makes most of it’s progress during prime time? Woah….

Also Dragonbrand doesn’t argue because they’re winning. When they lose it’s going to be a different story, trust me.

Good job transfering to a server that’s winning. You do realize you are the reason for server pop imbalances. So thanks for being part of the problem.

simple solution would be to apply a fee to server transfers…

Just transferred off that server and I can assure you; nobody on Yak’s Bend is competent enough to do something like that intentionally. Trust me, they’re just not that smart.
