Shoe.5821:

except thats utter nonsense,

if you’ve lost already then stealth/etc. stomping is pointless

it only makes a difference if you havent lost already

It’s not pointless at all. It helps negate the ability of people to waste time by knocking you back, pulling you, or just generally interrupting the stomp simply for the sake of interrupting the stomp when they are already down and have no hope of being rezed.

Same reason people pop Stability or Invulnerability when stomping….Sure sometimes it is to negate dmg from bystanders, but people do it all the time in 1v1s too. The reason being is why prolong the stomp? Why let someone waste time trying to faceroll every useless downstate skill, only to be stomped anyway afterwards?

SWEEEEEEEEEET.

Question: What did you win 50 times?

Jscull.2514:

No idea what you just wrote. But I have lost so many fights because my 5 guys could hit 5 guys, while the 5 of my guys could be hit by ALL 12 of the guys we were fighting.

The guy that made that rule should be FIRED immediately and ousted from mmo design society. Horrible.

I have to agree with this.

I have been screaming this for months now, and every zerger on this game has been blasting me for it.

If the devs couldn’t make a game without an offensive AoE cap, then they should have went full kitten and just implemented a defensive AoE cap as well.

IE: only 5 people can hit a single player at once, the rest would be “invulnerables”

While that is a horrible suggestion (I know), it is only equally as horrible as the current mechanic.

Stealth stomping, and all other “OP” stomping is fine…Mainly because if you are downed you obviously have lost already. Only chance you have (assuming no one is there to rez you, and you aren’t tagging PVE mobs) is if the guy is already way low on HP.

Then you have two downed people spamming downed skills at each other…Just die and run back, its not that big of a deal. There are way more irritating things about this game.

I hate all siege, I think it is ruining the game…With that said, ACs are the absolute worst offenders.

Mainly because it allows horrible players to sit in a tower and spam at pretty much anything in the vicinity. In a way I like the fact that a few players can defend an objective with siege, but ACs were and still are ridiculously OP in the grand-scheme of things, especially when you factor in widescreen viewing, no LoS required, and just plain zoomhacking.

A lot of the “X amount of kills isn’t that much” talk is coming from people in high-mid tiers I would guess.

Because in the lower tiers being well under 100k is pretty common.

Aww I read the title of this and thought this was the impending “ANET screwed me out of all my hard work by putting ‘bought WvW Ranks’ in the gemshop” thread.

I know that is the first thing I had a laugh about when I saw the item, all those people that furiously grinded pointless WvW levels for a “title”. Now people can just buy those levels while zerging.

These runes work so well because for 1-year people have facerolled their skills and have yet to really be “punished” for it. It has bred a legion of skill spammers that have done so without penalty, and now think that “this is the way the game is played”.

The closest we came prior to this was the “pre-confusion nerf” days, but even then it wakitten or miss.

They do seem OP at times, I run them on my warrior. But at other times I hardly notice them other than the 20% chance of confusion on hit.

Essentially when I face good players they realize quite quickly what I am trying to do and they time their skills better. When I face bad players I can essentially stun them, watch their debuffs, stun again as soon as the first one wears off, and more than likely they are pounding on their keyboards and take the interrupt. Then it is just rinse and repeat from there. Coincidentally these same players, are the ones that will spam themselves to death with 15+ stacks of Confusion.

Dear GoM Refugees,

I just wanted to take the chance to congratulate you guys on you recent capture. I can tell from the fact that you guys lined up for a photo that it was a HUGE accomplishment for you as most PVDoors are. I am sure that given you past exploits you faced insurmountable odds from the SF defenders (all 5 of them on the map lol). Also wanted to do so before one of the following occur:

A. Transfer again due to apparent “drama” (Which was supposedly remedied when [WvW] left but strangely remained while you were there)
or
B. Post more Gifs that get the post infracted

Yours Truly,

Sav “The Biggest Horse” of [RUN] (To the potty)

Sir Amadaeus,

I must say that the venom in your post was most unwarranted and rather spiteful. The fine people from GoM are only doing there job and service for mother Janthar. I count 7 people in that picture and you claim there was 5 people in your borderland, yet did any of your people look and see why hills was contested? If that was a fully upgraded keep with a way point there should be NO reason why it was lost to only 7 people when you had almost equal numbers of people to defend it. It would of taken them 8-10 minutes to just break down both doors if they used 2 superior rams each on both doors. Not only that they would have to run back to bluewater to get more supplies for the second gate unless they where auto attacking the gate, which would take FOREVER. I can see a quick ninja cap of hill with alphas and most definitely with omegas, but there should be NO excuse for losing a keep when you could easily of defended it. If your 5 people did not solicit help to retake the keep and ignored it for a whole tick (45 min.) when it was paper, then I think a talk is in order for thous five people.

If your so mad at losing a keep to PvDoor maybe your server needs to do less roaming/skirmishes and more people playing guard in keeps. Also this PvDoor nonsense is just silly, why should our team not attack undefended objectives? Is it because it is dishonorable to take an objective without first notifying the owners first that we are going to assault it? There is no pleasing you is there in this match up, right? I think we once again have a two different cultures and interpretations of how WvW must be played.

As for our new IoJ heroes (RUN and there asuran friend), you make our server proud to have you and will hold a ticker tape welcoming at our next commander meeting for you. Though I have to say since you moved here you will have to deal with these “PvDoor” comments, just ignore them and continue to do what you do best. Just don’t go overboard with the gifs’, hate to lose the ability to attach them in the future due to to many infractions.

It is funny because you missed the sarcasm, I was neither on nor cared how many people were on. Also the 5 was a guess at how many SF likely had on at the time, not a reference to the “7” GoM/IoJ’ers that you counted.

Something you should know about me and more and more people….We do not care about your PPT sir, post a pic of you winning a fight and expect a “gg”.

Posting a pic of “ninjaing a keep” etc, is more than likely to get an eyeroll more and more moving forward. No one watches the scoreboard any more kid, other than to distinguish which server has the population at that point.

SF “beat” GoM last week, and no one cared really, just like no one will care next week who “wins” this.

TL/DR: Such “easy targets” should not post their passive/aggressive attempts at posting without expecting some replies.

I would just go back to posting Gifs if I were you Gommies, stick to what you know.

“beat” is such a unqualified word. That’s like saying a giraffe is “beaten” by the buzzards that are picking its flesh from its corpse.

No. what in actuality happened time after time was IoJ would push on us, and then SF would come in and piggy back on their momentum.

Hardly beating. I’d call that opportunism. SF is the boastful frat boy who is raves about all the hot chicks he bangs, but instead he’s picking up lonely low-self-esteem cattle.

I mean why bang one ten when you can bang ten ones?

Also, caring how many burgers Wendy’s sells vs Burger King is called “competition” and “capitalism”.

And GoM is the married chick who gets too flirty with her online BF and has to transfer all kinds of people to another server.

I like these metaphors!

No offense and I dont want to start another discussion, but this is what I am experiencing after 2000h + (WvW and PvP only). It might differ from server to server and person to person, tho. I´m talking just trends.

Bro, brah, broski….

Now who is chestbumbing?

#chestbumbing2013

Moon.6371:

I have absolutely nothing against GvG, it is certainly more skillful than random zerging. This constant chest bumbing, self praise and most importantly thinking of it as the most elite PvP WvW has to offer is getting really old and makes you guys look not so good, tho.

I`m cringing inside when reading King Armadeus`posts, that arrogance… from someone who`s probably not able to hold his own in an environment where mechanical abilities are really needed to succeed. Just sad.

Again, I`m fully supporting your demand for an own gamemode/map or something along that line. But diminishing everything else is just pathetic.

Best regards

And I will lose tons of sleep over your “inside cringing”. Diminishing a pathetic mechanic like PPT (which only proves coverage not skill), should not be considered pathetic.

Does the guy at Burger King care how many burgers the guy at Wendy’s sold last night?

You obviously dont understand capitalism and competition between like industry corporations..

Yeah I guess not, I didn’t think the guy making burgers in the back cared what the other was doing because he could not control it, nor did it really matter in the grand scheme of things.

Sororita.3465:

King Amadaeus.8619

aw, dont be mad/sad =/

you got hills back, dont worry about it, took out 2 golems by myself and then your other two down to 25% with Lili’s help. I can see how you can get mad though, a fully upgraded keep and you couldnt even get one person to come save it, it had full supply too. I did so much more with 0 supply and the keep wasnt fortified. =( there, there.

2 people did so much damage to a 20 man, i wonder what 1 could have done against 7…

More objective based tauntings? You really should find more Dr. Who gifs kiddo….

“erma gerd we lost our hills and lost 2 golems trying to git it backzzzzz”

I am not cranky…I am laughing at your jokes…I think its funny you started a matchup thread for GoM:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/matchups/8-16-GoM-HoD-AR/page/6#post2679765

Then rage transferred in the middle of the week (some of you posted around 2 days ago in that thread another LOL moment since you’re already thumping chest over here)….Then transferred to a “winning” server in this match and attempted to bring your Gifs, pics, and objective capping related chest thumping to said match.

Disclaimer: Now I realize that some of said things were done/posted by your lady friend or the kiddos you brought with you, but I just felt like it was expedient to lump you into one group of “GoM refugees”.

Xillllix.3485:

They should bring back all the GvG content of GW1 along with the guild halls.

Now THAT would be cool.

It is simple, make it player vs player focused….not player vs capture point.

When they made WvW they had no idea what they were getting into IDT…Because it is really (in it’s simplest form), sPVP: with bigger maps, walls/structures as the objectives, and a 3rd team.

Even in PvP there is no flat-out deathmatch….Fighting over objectives is a novelty idea that gets old fast IMHO. You cap a point, the enemy caps it, you backcap it, you defend it, they come back later and cap it, you recap it later….I mean it gets boring. And that applies to sPVP and WvW essentially, with only subtle differences at best.

What keeps this game fresh (or rather what would) is the focus on the fights between players, focus on objective capturing/ppt/siegewars/coveragewars will only make it die faster.

As someone that has a main account on SF and an alt-account (previously on BG) now on JQ:

I can tell ya the queues are not as bad as people make out. My guess is that most of these people are trying to get guild groups in and that is where a lot of the complaining comes in.

Are there more queues/more people on T1s? Absolutely. The longest I have waited to get into a map was about 30 minutes, and that was queued from another map on Saturday at NA prime. SF (a T7-8 server) can queue 2-3 maps on reset nights.

It is a trade-off, do you want to play on a tier that has some queues, but always has people? Or do you want to play on a lower tier server that rarely has queues but there might only be 15 people on an entire map?

Check out the new Living World Content, only 5 more patches to go this week, WvW people will just have to be patient, I mean they gave you a 10 minute warning………….

MegaManExpert.8413:

Personally I am kinda sick of people hosting fight clubs on IoJ borderlands. Sure you need to have an EB keep, but if your side does not have ownership of there EB keep. Then you really should help your server out and retake the keep.

As for the small skirmishes from IoJ people, there most likely not interested in them. I personally do not run skirmishing builds in WvW unless I am doing dailies or the jumping puzzle. Why should I stop or any other IoJ person stop, turn around, and fight someone for five minuets or less for little to no reward or satisfaction as there group is fighting tooth and nail on the other side of the map. Asking IoJ people to stand there ground and fight you is rather silly, and if they are looking for a fight as a small group or solo then you would get it. Yes the points don’t matter in the long run but it does show that our server is progressing and cares about the value of teamwork and objective holding/taking.

10/10 Would laugh again, well done sir.

Fight night at IoJ BL!

[FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK]

Jscull.2514:

What’s it take for you guys to realize someone doesn’t have your interest in mind?

Pretty much realized that when they started devoting manpower to creating new content every two weeks for PVE, and created a progression system in WvW thinking they would:

1. Hush the people complaining about end game / WvW progression.
2. (Most importantly) be able to roll out a new “mastery” in that two week time-span to justify “new WvW content”.

DevonCarver.5370:

My statement doesn’t require translation. WvW is a part of GW2, it is not its own game, it is not a standalone product and it is not separate from the game.

Not trying to troll here, legitimate comment:

This is just further proof that many at ANET do not understand the interests of many (not all) of their “customerbase”.

Sir, we all understand that WvW is essentially only 1/3 of GW2, but there is a large sect of folks that have absolutely no desire to play (and some even HATE) the other 2/3’s.

The same can be said about people in PVE and PVP, they do not care for the other 2/3 either.

Plus, CoSA and ICE are the only SF guilds worth talking about and I like ICE

I am sorry who are you again?

What is your name?

RUN Guild? “Running Under Nature” right? So is that like “nature calls”? Do you need to potty?

I said this last night…My server is somewhere around where you used to call T6-7, and we had around 10 people on EB yesterday at 6pmEST.

I see people always complaining about folks stacking in higher tier servers, but realistically while it is a lot of people that want to “win” in WvW. I would argue that many more of them just want to be able to play WvW without worrying about the “ghosttown effect” every 2-weeks.

Bacon Please.8407:

Conditions need to be looked at, if it is mitigation of damage through toughness

This is my thought on the matter as well.

Also I made the joke in VoIP last night that ANET is just trolling us, because people been asking for custom commander colors for a while. And on a whim they changed these.

I was really confused about the colors too when I first went into WvW, then I went into PVP and realized that it was just another PVP-change that spewed itself onto WvW.

I’d love to say you should be able to get everything ever from just playing WvW, but not only is that not going to happen, it’s not good for the game as a whole.

but honestly if you want to get all the things in the game, you have to play all the game. Branch out, I suspect you’ll enjoy it. And WvW will still be there when you want to play it.

Pfffffft, it is obvious you guys just do not understand many of the WvWers….Read all I need to read moving forward. Thank you sir for the info.

They understand you KA….they understand PvE is carebear land full of $$ spending customers who like sparkles in the air and balloons…

They know that if this game were to be made more competitive, #’s would decrease in wvw b/c zerg babies would cry they dont win as much anymore against “elitest pricks”. Meanwhile, even alot of zergers are bored lol. Nice model.

I just wish they would stop trying to make WvW’ers into PVE’ers, and sPVP’ers into WvW’ers, and PVE’ers into….Well whatever they are into.

I make fun of people that grinded legendary’s for the skin (same stats as an exotic), so really it makes no issues with me that EZNET does not want to reward WvW-only players. However I think that it is a joke that it is just another element that pulls people out of WvW to do things they really could care less to do otherwise. I mean for whatever reason people REALLY want that skin…Or they really want that ascended backpiece etc.

But don’t come in here and tell me to “branch out, that I would like it”, it is borderline slap in the face material. Kinda like me saying, “Hey mister developer, read some forum threads, you might learn what WvW’ers actually want”.
