Guild Wars 2

Zikory.6871:

Doing the normal supply camp circuit I’v found endless amounts of duels and small fights.

This 1000x over.
I roam all the time in T2, when i’m not in the mood for zergy, or my guild isn’t having an event. I’ve met all kinds of roamers from FA and KN, solo, or in small groups. I’ve even made it a point to join/invite them into a party after an say gf^^. Its a really great way to scout for your main force, flip camps/sentry/yaks earning points, and have fun. I run solo sometimes, in pairs, or even in a 5 person group, usually depending on who I run into on my side and what they’re in the mood for. My server, most servers, even have dedicated roaming/havok team guilds.

I don’t understand what all the Q _ Q is about, about not having small group fights, when they’re everywhere. (I’ve been in T4, T3, and T2, and have never had a problem finding a fight roaming on my necro)

Mif.3471:

Been a fun week

EDIT: I just realized we still have a full day left. Got my mental calendar mixed up :P

sos cute~

Lot of loll’s tonight in KNBL. Super Zergs on all sides smashing into each other for the last 2 hours ;P

The skill lag was stupendous. Just watching you guys and the rest of our FA zerg blend together was just fun to watch.

I was flipping the KN North and NE camps non stop that night, even on that side of the map I felt the zergys collide @ _ @. It took me like 5min to snipe a yak cause I was auto attacking like once every 5 seconds. .

Quick score update~

Ubi.4136:

Watch South Park, occasionally look at screen. 3 mins up…whack a door. Watch more South Park.

At least everyone’s toons will be in shape from all the running.

“Working as intended.” ^.~!

Had an aaaaamazing time messing around in EB before Maint, Omega Portal Bomb into FA zerg for the win <3 You guys did a gj defending your keep thos, ty for the funn

Grub

Arkanfel.8403:

So we ready to admit Kaineng is done, or are we still trying to make this “you guys are doing great!” crap fly?

I watched KN take SM, and then push in to FA and take durios, bravos, and they even pushed into the Lord Room of FA’s EB keep, cause FA was beeing silly and trying to camp and flaunt their Jerrifer’s cap against TC with 40+ people sitting in it and the walls all down
This was jus yusterday, so yush, KN’s great~

Did you try leaving party, logging out, and then using the mist gates in Lions Arch? My que was never more then 15min doing like that, even on resetnight. I’ve seen guild members que before me, and wait longer doing it differently > <!.

Lanimal.6541:

I think people are jumping to conclusions without realizing the significant influence that WM has on this Tier. Things will be a lot more even once they are back in full force.

If things go as they have been, Dergenbrand might kick KN out of T2 this week or next ; ;~

appledainty.8127:

My brethren of the coast, please remember to guard our precious Dolyaks.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChG0_ThxdJc

And remember, the enemu dolyaks have the scaleyhoof and need to be put down for their own good and to prevent the spread of this horrible bovine disease.

THIS IS SO SAAD!! >~<

Atrophied.8725:

Ok. I need to see the screenshots of TC’s commander zerg last night on KNBL. Who has them? Stop hogging them! (So much fun… “Stack on the Commander!”)

I’m abit late, buuht here’s one from all of our sillyness with you in it^^.

Obby Shards.9365:

Last time i watched a GvG against [HOPE] and [CERN] cern won and the VK wiped them so nope

At least get your facts straight. The only “wiping” that got done was in a completely fair GvG. HOPE won 2-1 vs CERN, and would have continued more rounds but VK wanted in on the action too, so CERN fought them for a few rounds.

If you’re talking about what happened at the very end, it was just for fun and lols to end the night of good fights. I’m pretty sure there was mutual respect between all 3 guilds. Again…here are the videos 100% fair:

HOPE vs CERN

VK vs CERN

These were really fun to watch, ty for sharing^ – ^!!.

MrSilver.5269:

Nothing like having every single vendor covered with siege in EB.

Its been like that in TC EB Keep for a month apparently^^;.

Shroom.9026:

Lanimal.6541:

I did not see a lot of WM again today. Where is WM?

Taking a break, enjoying other games.

Has funn WM, I havn’t seen you guys in full force sense I was in T4 with Kain. Hope to get to face you again sometime when every’s back^^.

Nuoper.7503:

Food & Sharpening Stone boost attribute too high. It just makes WvWvW too hardcore and become only 80 level players battlefield.
For low level players, they are hard to survive. Anet should ban all buff from foods and sharpening stone in WvWvW and make the “Survival rate” of Level 80 and low level more balance.

Your stats on your armor as an underlevel are scaled up. If you are wearing armor with 0 toughness stats on it, and no extra VIT, don’t expect to be tanky. There is a reason, most of the level 0-20 gear is mostly only Vitality armor. I bought a full set of blue viatality armor for my level 15 mesmer and had 32,000 HP.
My level 40 theif in WvW wwears full condition armor and has 1700 condition damage
. _ .;

The point is wearing level appropriate gear makes a very big difference when you’re being up-leveled in wuv wuv^^.

You can roam freely, flip camps, an have small fights on any server. A 60 person zerg ball is 0 threat to a roamer, cause they don’t chase a single person. Worst case scenario they show up while you’re trying to take a supply camp or ninja a tower, just means you have to leave that camp/tower for a couple min an come right back when they leave~ (or hide an go /sleep to make a couple of them paranoid ^.~!)

Lower tier servers typically have lower populations of people WvWing, so if Dragonbrands population scares you out of roaming and trying to flip camps, you should consider transferring down tiers. :<

People will form large groups, and work together, and ‘zerg’, on all servers though, no matter where you go

Great fights all night VK an FA!~ Never had so much fun fighting for KN’s garrison for so long~ You did a great job at contesting it for so long too KN, made it really hard for both us an FA^ – ^.

Pinko.2076:

Is it still not common knowledge that players can just damage a wall and avoid all of the defense at a gate? It’s been in since release but they only “officially” documented it last patch for necros.

Another reason why this shouldn’t be about thieves, but just individual players’ abilities to contest an entire keep.

Pinko.2076:

Again, necros can contest walls. The easiest profession in game the contest with and bypasses all of this dumb “leaves 5 dudes at every gate” stuff.

The topic should be about 1 person contesting, because it’s stupidly easy.

Nerco’s can no longer damage walls or gates with their Vampiric trait as of the last patch. Sigils of leeching also no longer deal damage to gates or walls either^^. (it was pretty OP cause it ticked gates for 900+) The patch notes were worded incorrectly about necros~

Thiefs can still CnD on walls tho for no reason at all. Buuth I agree its silly that one person can makea 1-2g upgrade competently useless by walking up and tapping a gate. They should really fix that ; ;.

Oui, GL to all^^. Hope FA doesn’t beat everyone up all weekend long again, hehe. We lost all our fully upgraded towers as soon as we got them in EB last Friday >~<.

hillariousssssh^ ^.

Shazbot.8906:

Having a lot of fun tonight defending Cataboat™ from the groups who try to take it out. It’s victories are allowing it to grow in strength.

Cataboat™ is so cute! I’m suprised there’s no TCC with you

I wanna ride a cute branded Siege Devourer!

Andy.9137:

Couldn’t cap this camp and realized someone hiding up on this roof. How do you get up there?

Its it’s own special jumping puzzle^ ^. I was up there a couple times las night while eating dindin, so I could atleast still feel usefull if a zergy came while stuffing my face :< Don think thas me in the pic tho~

I think most good mesmer can keep over 50% uptime on confusion in a duel^^. and if you spend 50% of the time >just not using a single skill<, you’ll die :<. You don’t even have to be condition spec for confusion to do great damage either^^.

Confusion is dumb in (boring)pve cause most mobs and bosses can’t even manage more then a single attack every 5 seconds, where as in pvp you’re constatly using skills. If they removed it form auto attack that would be kinda nice, buuht idk T.T Not really sure how they could change it some how for wvw that wouldn’t make it even more worthless in pve. (its already worthless in pve, who cares, no ones goes to fractals 40 with "LF1m Confusion mesmer/engiee)~

Level 21! woo! I can carrie 11 supply! (you kno you can’t even use 1 supply to repair a wall, its usless, it jus stays there T.T) 279 more levels to go to 15 supply. . .

What will come first, 1,000,000 Dolyak escorts or 300 wexxpee levels?
At least the Dolyak escorts are account based, I have more then a single character i like to play in Wuvwuv . _ .

So sense balista range is really jus based on what you can an can’t target, it increases how far away you can click someone by 500?~

Laii.2780:

Anyone kno if there’s an ETA for a fix for this bug?^^
Ppl blinking and shadow stepping into silly places~

believe me most of the time it is not blinking or shadowstepping.Since the patch I fell through the floor of a tower after enemy capped it. and it happened like 3 times to me.If the enemy is still there i will be stuck in combat and cant wp out.

You’re right, I think anyone can do it, I had a guardian in my zergy who died in a wierd spot near the ramp and after we capped the tower and raised him it put him inside and he coudln’t get out ; ;~

Krycek.1269:

For now I vote TC and Kaineng officially form an alliance, Kaineng Coast? And never invade the others borderlands and just split Fort Aspenweirds (lol) borderlands and 1/3rd of their EB. Then trade wins every other week, yeah!

Joking of course, I know its weird for kain not to be ahead all the time but I think they’re gonna be just fine.

Speaking of alliances, you should have seen EB fridaynight >~<. FA had WC an Kolvan, KN had Aldons and Jerrrifers. 50+ KN on inner of the double doors of the back of the keep, and even more fa on the inner of the front of the Low Lands keep. What was even more HILARIOUS was that our entire keep was at siegelimit cause of the troll/griefer we’ ve been having problems with^^;.

SquirtyMagoo.8321:

Jang Gun left WM to persue a career in K-pop is what I heard…

bahahaa^ – ^;.

ParaldaWind.4523:

we just communicate and move around a lot. So it seems like we’re everywhere, but we’re not.

i.e. a good cmd taking their zergy to a different map to save Garrison at the last second (last week~)

Had fun commanding with Matty in EB~
Took SM from Kain an held it for a couple of hours before zzzz. Ty for all those that helped^ – ^.

crystalpink.2487:

Yup, it’s illusion.
That one, I had a chance to check the guild name coz they were on top of the bay wall, still alive, whereas the darp one was already dead on the ground when I saw him/her xD

Oh thas me~
I’m taking a vacation to the Garnished Toast, I hear the Dolyak Parades are great this time of year<3

Anyone kno if there’s an ETA for a fix for this bug?^^
Ppl blinking and shadow stepping into silly places~

There’s a small bug where you can’t edit ear size with those horns, buuht they’re really awesome^ ^.

DevonCarver.5370:

To be clear, assuming we make this change, it would have basically 0% to do with world completion.

<3 this answer^ – ^.

lol Eva~

I really enjoyed watching the BT zergy fight the WM zergy outside of Wild Creek in EB, while the TC zerg jus sat in the tower confused at who to go after^^;.

I always assumed it was jus 100 players per side, sos 300 players per map~

And considering all 4 maps are really just one big map, and if every side has a que, that’s 1200+ people all fighting at once^^,.
The only annoying thing, is when you squeeze 200-300 people into the Stonemist Lord room for a 3 way fight, everywhere lags, even in the borderlands. SM battles are always lag city, and it can be felt everywhere >~<. ATleast the game prioritizes your weapon skills + heal over utilities and elites ; ;

In case it wasn’t mentioned, Sentry’s work the same way. You get more points for zerging it then jus soloing it. 1 point for solo 5ish points for 20+ zerging it =/

5 points is the benefit of holding a supply camp for 13 min, done in about 5-10seconds T.T

I miss Dergenbrand

Why do people care so much about WvW map completion? Oo. I mean i’ve never known a single person working on a legendary ever get hung up on the world completion. Usually its the, well idk, 700g precursor or something. You kno there’s no reweard for it right?

If you play WvW enough you eventually take everything, i have wvw map’s done on 2 characters jus from playing not even trying to do maps. o.o

>>I think colour rotation would be really awesome an fair tho, an not based on points^^

I wish they would make them actually look undead, not jus random >Completely Clean< bodie parts put together.

That and the flesh golem from Guild Wars lookd 10x better then this one

Not a single kitty from the cat room is in the ENDLESS CAT TONIC Q _ Q.
(pic for reference~)

There’s 3 kitty rooms, one in each WvW BL in a hidden spot in the jumping puzzle. Search “gw2 cat room” in yubtub if you don’t want to find it for yourself^^ (I couldn’t)

I love how beautiful and grotesque Orr is^ ^. When I first got there as a level 70ish, how difficult it was to get around and explore made it feel very different from 90% of the rest of the world~

What’s ED an SA? o.o

Had some really fun small fights with CD @ Speldans in EB a couple nights ago^ – ^. Got pushed off a buncha times an would have to run back an to wait for RI to go off before recapping. I wish I could get Mag’s to defend and fight for their supply camps in EB as much as you guys do^^. Even when we did manage to take red keep and then leave it you guys would have your death trap fortress ready again an fully upgraded in a couple hours

I’m kinda disappointed that it only has one actual domestic kitty, when there’s 5+ skins in game; ;. They baby tiger an such are cute an unexpected~

Can we get a suggestions thread started up so that they add all the ones they left out to the tonic? (It is worth 100 laurels . . ) If you’ve ever beeen to the cat room you can see all the ones they left out >~<

duo-ing a tower lord isn’t exactly a challenge or something worth gloating about. There’s plenty of vidi’s of thieves >>solo<<ing them. Jus go to linksville if you’ve never seen them <.<;;. Post a video of duoing a keep lord

I think this is a very unproductive way to go about improving Necro. =/

I love my necro and would only prefer a couple small changes to make them feel more ‘balanced’ to other professions.

Also they’ve buffed a couple Necro skills a patch ago and also fixed Death Shroud UI this lattest patch. Its getting better a little bit at a time thanks to all the productive suggestions people have been saying

John Widdin.9618:

I was looking forward to that matchup. Such a shame.

Sea of Sorrow’s needs to die faster already; ;~

spoj.9672:

and is very slow and weak compared to other weapons, ignoring piercing. Its a utility weapon not a dps weapon. You dont need lifeforce on marks anyway you get it plenty fast enough with other things like locust swarm or dagger auto attack.

Ignoring piercing, is like ignoring cleave on a great sword. They both account for alot of extra damage . You are right tho about lifeforce on marks, i never really had fun with this as they I play zerk-staff-well necro there’s plenty of things dying all around me that fill up LF^^.
If i’m in a buld there’s more for roaming or dueling and filling up your life force really fast is a matter of life or death Focus 4 is a free 15% and Spectral grasp is another free 10%~ (both of which can be traited to have realy low timers^^) Dagger 1 spam is also really good at getting lf on top of that^^

I was hoping it would create a double scythe effect like it does on Scythe Staff skin ; ;~
Melandru’s Gaze was bugged too with the same problem as Final Rest, hope it also got fixed^^

PinCushion.7390:

Laii.2780:

Necro can also take a trait for +50% fear durration so 150% fear duration total.^^ Sad Necro fears are only 1 second tho when war and theif both get triple that length ; ;.

Necro with 100% cd dur + 50% fear duration = 2.5 second fear(aoe)
War or theif with 100% cd duration = 6 second fear (aoe)(Dragon length T.T)

On the bright side BiP is a 1m bleed with 100% duration, and bleeds from Mark of Blood on staff is kinda redic if you have staff cooldown trait^^

Yeah, but you only need 50% duration + fear duration trait to get Terror to tick twice

Good point^^ I don’t play conditon much at all, and always for get tthat fear can tick for 1200 damage~! lol~ that is pretty epic

(that link to the build isn’t working for me Kaysyn

For a any well build in wuv wuv you’ll probly want 20 points into Curses so you can cast them @900 range^^

Daggers my favorite, buuht when I feel like jus runing around in/ a zerg with staff and doing as much burst damage as I can i usually go with 30-20-20-0-0~ That way you get your staff cooldown’s, greatermarks, Blind-Chill-Poison Plauge, and 20% damage boost to targets 50% hp or lower^^.

Your wells and staff auto attack will crit for over 1k easily each tick easily if you’re in Zerk^^. (with enough crit damage and those traits you can almost get staffs weakist attack, Mark of Blood to crit for 900ish~)
Mark of Blood also regen’s all the friendly that it’s near too when it triggers, so works well to heal ppl that lead the push if you fight midfield^^

I used this trait a couple times for fun, its a nice way to get a little HP an LF back when you’re desperate and have vampiric trait~ It pulses 1% LF every second every time it tags something. Its also hilarious if you get roflstomped and it procs right as you go down cause it hits ppl that try to stomp you^^.

I prefer death shroud cooldowns an specral cooldowns myself for Soul Reaping thos, i’d like the trait more if it activated @ 50% instead of 25%. Activiating @25% in a duel against a theif is a single backstab so wont save you~ They did give it a much bigger range tho a patch or so ago, fun to run thru zergs with the horn version^^

spoj.9672:

Skyro.3108:

I would actually highly recommend Soul Marks instead.

Because staff is a really good weapon….

My staff auto attack crits for 1300-1500 depending on 50% below hp or not, and travels thru 5+ ppl in/ a zerg. 7500 damage auto attack with 1500 range? kthxbai >3
