for those that think this is a horrible matchup, don’t forget that Anet’s wvw rank system basically will be more in the benefit of the lower tier servers than for us (t1 deso). even if we win with like half of the total amount of the score, we will drop in ranks and you guys will gain.
First of all, grats to SFR for a deserved win. There were some nice matches fought the past week. It’s a shame there is so much heat and trolling in these forum threads, but i guess (/hope?) it’s all part of the rivalry…
About vizunah… I don’t even really know what to say… Where have you guys been all week? I know Vinzunah is a server that hides in towers with 30 guys and 30 arrow carts, but this week i don’t think i’ve seen any respectable fight against vizunah. SFR really deserved the win here and i hope the proper vizunah WvW-ers will move to jade sea so vizunah does not have their extreme night coverage benefit. To mention a plus; i respect your guys’ scouting and borderjumping.
Don’t worry, we got quite a lot players for prime time. Most of the time we got a queue on 3 of the 4 maps.
Quantity isn’t Desolations problem…Quality is…
This is some pretty big non sense… During primetime desolation had the highest tick quite a few times. Of course it is hard to beat fully WvW focussed guild groups, but i do not think desolation is worse then any other server quality wise. The problem is that desolation pug community wakes up at 5pm and goes to sleep at 9pm. Combine this with farmable pve events and the problem IS quantity… not quality.
I really hope for a low tier next week, since all our puggies will be SAB-ing.
well it has the cannon mastery image, maybe some changes coming so that people may actually pick it? quite a lot of the other abilities seem nicely balanced to me since i always have a hard time deciding what to save up for, but cannon is far down my list.
still a shame the ranks aren’t account bound, now i have to save up on different chars
well, if nothing else, you at least have the unique pleasure(?) of being in the middle of a dev sandwich on the WvW forums. remember this moment.

Amazing fight in Deso Garrison last night. CoN and OSC must have killed that lord 10 times, but massive credit to Desolation you guys never gave up and kept the banners coming. Lots of bags and lots of fun were had by all.
On another note, GoD are a deluded laughing stock of a guild. I actually have a lot of love for the rest of Deso though.
What you’ve posted is a wvw build, that would be viable for roaming. If you want a wvw build for zerging (like you seem to be doing in the video) the traits are fine, but go for pvt gear + trinkets and runes of melandru. i dont understand the choice of signet either, in zergs you are going to want the precision signet for the simple fact it can cure conditions.
the main question you should ask yourself imo is if you want sword/pistol… youre highly dependant on your enemy standing still when you do your 3rd spell on s/p. besides that, dagger auto attack does more damage (seems less, but they are quicker) + poison.
All up to you ofcourse, play around with them. Also; ask yourself if you think the 15 points in the bottom line are well spend… you could go for 25/30/0/15/0 aswell for a tripple dodge.
There u got! it’s not the best but i felt a bit in panic by two 100 ppl blob running in our keep on eb.
and there is sth i trying to remember….ahh…ye…u did’nt got it!!!
What i want to say to all the Deso guilds: Dont feed the Abbablob!!!!
Sigh… why don’t people understand the concept of double teaming?? We are not double teaming you, however if your towers are wooden and if the gate of your keep is broken while at the other side everything is fortified, what would be the logical point to attack???? A lasting charge at your keep does not mean everyone is instantly double teaming you….
in addition to this; what bothers me is that wvw is (in my opinion) the ultimate endgame of GW2. However, we do not seem to get any new content except new masteries. Why does it take Anet 7 months to release at least 1 new map or some additions to wvw?
There is so much nonsense in this thread… Don’t think this is what match up threads are made for. I can not blame either DVG or any other guild for the way Desolation is performing, but it’s sad to point at eachother to put the blame somewhere. First we whined about not having enough coverage, now we do have some coverage and some decent scouting and we’re suddenly vizunah…
Personally im not a fan of PvDooring, but i do understand that if commanders know they’ll take a tower without any resistance, they may as well use golems to speed it up (after all we all would love to win and to take some towers and keeps is a requirement for that). However the claim that desolation builds AC’s everywhere and golemrushes every single day is nonsense. We usually drop about 2 AC in a tower (which is a minimum for defense) and the eventual AC’s dropped in a fight are all by pugs. And most commanders refuse to golem rush or use 1-2 instead of rams.
It is pretty easy to call desolation a copy of vizunah with ‘numbers and no skill’, when we have fought vizunah for months. For months we were only able to cover 1-2 maps and had to give up completely on the other maps, while at the same time wiping our enemies in open field fights 90% of the time. This forced us to be more organised in borderhopping etc. Now we get matchups where we stand a chance since the enemies do not have massive numbers, we win, and instantly get called vizunah…
unfortunatly for you guys i dont see desolation run away from fights to WP as quick as we can, i don’t see deso get wiped 90% of the time and yeah, really sorry we have holidays and enjoy playing in the evenings/nights too!
It’s easy, follow other commanders around until you think you have a basic idea of what they do (buffing before combat, movement in combat, utilities and food to use and siege placement). If you think you know something about that, just tag up early in the day when there’s not as many people and start your commanding. You will only be a good and experienced commander if you start of unexperienced and learn from your mistakes. Even the best commanders were a noob once.
isnt it the aim of the game to kill others ;(? the idea of the 10 blue orbs is good, but if they follow you around for 20 sec, they easily encounter 10 orbs. also the traps require less. so what is the problem with letting dead people spawn at a random place ;/
…got 1 Black Lion Claim Ticket Scrap.
What’s the deal ArenaNet?
I strongly recommend people do NOT buy Black Lion Keys until this is resolved.
you assume that opening 3 chests is a representative experiment? try opening 300 and then complain. Also, if you were able to get one of the new skins with 3 chests, they wont be unique and what would be the fun in having them?
Why, when you kill a person, do they appear in mist form on top of you?… Yesterday i killed about 3 people, then these go to mistform and appear near me. This obviously leads to these people trying to take revenge and i will get karka’s and traps on my head… At the same time, the guy that picked 5 food in the begin and afk’s in a camp does not kill anyone and therefor does not get killed by people in mistform.
The obvious answer is that you killed them and therefor they get the chance to take revenge…. but I dont really understand why they made it this way, you seem to get punished for killing more people, while the people that are less active do not get hit. Why not make the spawn of dead people random?
I’m a thief, but i dont like permastealth cause its boring. however, it is so easy to kill them. aoe around and theyll drop that. sorry, but if you cant kill a permastealth thief, you’re doing something horribly wrong.
i kind of agree that this nightcapping is a bit lame, even though i’ve currently got holiday and i enjoy sitting at my pc at night… if you lock the borders down it won’t be really fair for those that can not play during the day either… i see your point though.
As said before, our main fights will be fought with pugs which unfortunately leads to blobs since a lot of these pugs want to follow the big zerg rather then take some stuff in another borderland. We do have some guilds that are fully wvw focused and some normal guilds with wvw events. just a few that pop in mind: invi, god, dvg, exg, gt, tla. While our pugs fight out the main fights, these guilds can make a difference elsewhere. I think we are getting more organised, but we are low on general coverage I’m afraid.
Very nice match up finally! Will be great to fight our ex-desolators (I’m coming for you Richmond). Good luck to all servers and get ready for some nice fights!
indeed! i want to play a realistic game and this pub wont survive in the current economic circumstance if they’re not serving alcohol. Not only will the pub’s atmosphere improve, it will be good for the tyrian government cause of the excise duty.
Maybe you should introduce world famous LampGhost brew… Too much alcohol and a bit of cherry.
All the best to all servers and some protips that may help our french vizunah buddies:
1. Running away from a fight while outnumbering the enemy is not a good idea
2. Defending fulltime with 10 ac’s per tower may give you more points, but will be a bitttt boring
3. Dont be a zombie
when fighting vizunah they are the weakest players… in a fight deso runs over them every single time! at the end of last week vizunah just decided to run away from fights and teleport back, even when they outnumbered us…
however, since deso doesnt have the numbers interested in wvw we keep losing in points cause we cant cover more then EB (and sometimes a borderland). deso mentality = winning fights > winning in points…
Im just happy Im not paying a monthly fee. What ever they give us is icing on the cake.
that certainly is true, but does not correspond with the way Anet said they wanted to go/promised to go.
Im just providing feedback here that me, and probably many others, would prefer some new playable zones/dungeons that are permanent and will give us a bit more challange.
Im not happy either, and not for that reason. Anet promised a new dungeon, and what did we get… a room with ONE boss…
In the past 9 months we have gotten 1 new area that is half finished, we got fractals and thats it. When is Anet gonna focus on actual content instead of lossless monthly patches that do not bring permanent content?
i do not mean to be a whiner, but ArenaNet… seriously sort your testing team out… literally EVERY patch you guys release has some bugs… from random mobs in queensdale dropping rares and exotics to a new dungeon that is not accessible… really poor.
As you’ll probably know, in the updates released in the past months Anet has enabled guesting, while at the same time boosted the rewards from the world boss chests. For some reason this led to a large number of guests visiting the server i have been playing on since the release of the game (Desolation).
I would not have any problems with this, if it wasn’t for the fact that every single time i decide to go to a world boss, the server is in overflow. I do not have any facts to prove this, but i assume this is caused by the large numbers of guests on the server.
My question/suggestion is; why does Anet allow this? People only guests to our server to get the benefits of the world bosses, while the people that have actually been on the server since the release of the game get put in overflow… Why not design a system that will make sure that when a server is full and therefor will become an overflow, will kick some guests (full=full) so that the people from the homeserver do not suffer from guesting by other servers?
I hope you guys could try and think of this idea, for me guesting has been rather annoying than a benefit.
I think they might have done it on purpose since the game came out in the very end of august. They would probably be afraid that people would not have enough time to get their monthly.
I think the monthly will reset either the 25th/28th, or it will reset every begin of the month starting October.
Are you sure you are picking up the money the right way?
First of all you need to be sure that your products are indeed sold. If you are sure about that (you see money appear in the bottom tab of the black lion trade screen), do you pick it up at a salesman in game? clicking the button there does not work, you have to visit a trade dude.
For as far as i know there should be no delay between someone buying your item and you receiving your money.
I would love to see that there would be a function to turn the filter off too. Sometimes you just want to chat with friends and since were all mature we do not have any problems with some light swearing (in private or party chat of course). Being not prude at all, i think people should be able to swear a little when they die of some unexpected reason or what so ever.
I do not have a main around level 30 yet, so i will have to find that out later. Thanks for your replies anyway, it was kind of stupid of me to put this as a q/a question. I do not really mind about paying a little extra since i love the fact i do not have to pay monthly fees or what so ever. It would just be nice if it worked, and even if it does not: do not continue selling it.
I have a problem with an in game bug in my story mode:
When i do the quest ‘Pastkeeper’ (human thief, questlvl: 45), i have to protect some characters that are performing a ritual with rocks. My thief has (even though its far higher level than needed for the quest) problems staying alive near the end of the quest/ritual, so i keep dying. Usually this is not a problem cause i can retry from checkpoint. However, if i click retry from checkpoint on this quest, it kicks me out of the quest and i have to restart the whole thing.
for some reason i can not do this quest without dying but the retry from checkpoint does not work either so i have to restart the entire thing over and over again.
@mightus, that is very nice. but that does not answer why the team still sells the item, knowing there is a bug in it? It’s like selling a broken product without telling it is broken.
My main question was, if there were more people on the forums with this problem. People who bought the IN GAME premium upgrade after pre-order?
For the team; when are you guys planning on working on this? to me the whole point of the upgrade is gone now that i’ve unlocked my racials. I have wasted my money on this since i would definitely not purchase this upgrade if i knew the wolf would not work from level 30-60/
i have reported this bug multiple times of the past 1.5 week, but still nothing has changed. I have purchased the premium upgrade, and was hoping to get the mistfire wolf elite skill… i am around level 65 now, and this skill still is not unlocked.
I think it is very poor that these kind of bugs are not solved. Yes, i do know that not every bug can be instantly solved, but people actually pay for this upgrade, and it is still being sold, even though there has been reported it contains bugs.
