yeah those just look ridiculous. a big hell no from me.

zzzz
ZERG US ALREADY!!!! what happened to your numbers?

Kormak and the pretty Mesmer.

If anything is obvious about me, it’s that I like the outfits mesmer girls pick. What always bugs me is when I’m chasing the wrong one! I mean there are so many fish in the sea but mesmer girls put that so out of wack, what’s a charr to do?
This reminds me of an experience I had with one of them not too long ago. Her name was Lola, she is a human mesmer about the age of 20, and she was wearing this lovely magenta dress, which was somehow able to support a forty pound greatsword on her back.
“Lola, how do you carry that sword around with no sheath?” I asked, tilting my head.
“Well, how do you carry a rifle without a holster?” She asked, raising an eyebrow.
“I’m the one asking questions here!”
She gave me a sly grin, as if she was planning something. I snarled, then walked away. I saw a vendor that was selling precious metals for relatively cheap, and weaseled the price down a little lower. Afterwards I went over to a Jewelcrafting anvil and forged an Oricalchum band and chiseled down an Emerald Orb to be fit into the setting on it. Then I heard something drop behind me, so I turned to see what it was. It was…a monocle? A bloody monocle falls behind me? I knew Lion’s Arch was weird but these humans sure know how to misplace their eyepieces!
When I turned back to my work, I felt a soft wind on my horns, as if something was gently exhaling on them.
“Now some kitten ghosts are here? For Rytlock’s sake I left the Citadel for a reason!” I said, slamming my fist on the workbench.
I felt the breeze again, but this time I was really irritated.
“I have more than enough Incandescent Dust thank you! Go away ghostie!”
“Shut up, Kormak. You’re so loud when you’re scared.” Lola said, as she appeared sitting elegantly on the overhang above.
“Fortunately for you, Lola, you’re a pretty irritation.”

Kormak and Michelle “Seashell” Blanche

Every time I come here, I always regret it. Even when I’m supposed to be meeting someone, I always end up running off with someone else. The last time I was in Lion’s Arch, I was after a special jewelcrafting recipe, and when I found it I made sure to leave quick. I don’t like it there, it smells too much like Divinity’s Reach. I like that place more though, lots of pretty girls with….apples.
I looked up at the sun and saw that it was setting, and remembered that Michelle hadn’t shown up yet. So I decided that I’d stop waiting aimlessly around the plaza and head up to the Crow’s Nest for a drink. As I moved to open the door to the tavern, a sailor was thrown through the door in what seemed to be a drunken brawl. I peered my head in the doorway to see what was going on, and lo and behold there was Michelle fighting off drunkards left and right.
“Having fun without me already, Seashell?” I scoffed, and barged through the doors.
“You know me, Doormat, party doesn’t start till I end up fighting someone!” She said, with much overconfidence.
“Shell, careful for the-!”
She turned her head just in time to be hit by the blunt end of a dagger, and I already had Ol’ Faithful ready for action. I fired a bola at the would be attacker and tossed a wrench at him, then rushed to her side.
“Back off, now.” I snarled.
“You’re gonna pay for this!” Said the injured drunkard.
“They all say that! Why do they all say that? It’s so cliche.”
“Why don’t you go after him and ask?” Michelle laughed, pressing her hand to a cut on her brow.
I looked at her with a very straight face, then shook my mane in protest.
“What’s the matter, is kitty upset?” She asked, laughing a lot louder.
“Shut up, girl. My gun’s still loaded.” I said, snarling a little.
She was really too pretty for me to be mad at her though. My sire always laughed at me and said I was more interested flirting than fighting for any legion. True in a sense, but I’m never part of guilds long enough to care about solidarity anyway.

Rambodacious.7495:

So, I read the sticky thread up top when I first purchased the game a month or so ago and thought to myself, ya, that makes sense. Aussies should be able to cap stuff and what not during the night. They paid for the game and that’s fair.

However, after playing the game and WvWing quite a bit, I’m wondering why no >compromise< is being made and not just for Oceanic players.

Here’s the thing, picture yourself playing another team based game. Pick one. Any team based competitive game. You walk to the store (or download it after purchase), come home, install it, load it up, jump into a game, look around at your team of say 10 people, look across the map and see 138 people. How many people would return the game? Yep, everyone. You’d tell all your friends how dumb it was and most likely vow never to purchase a game made by them ever again.

So, please tell me why there aren’t limits to population imbalances? I’M NOT SAYING THEY SHOULDN’T BE ABLE TO PLAY WvW(I’ll lead with this so people don’t get uppity), I am saying that there needs to be limits placed on the Borderlands. An example would be:

No more than a 20 player difference between either a given “attacking” team and the “defending” team. Meaning if there’s 23 defenders on at 3 A.M. USA time, then no more than 43 Oceanic players can invade. Now, firstly, this certainly allows the Oceanic crowd to get in there, have the population imbalance still be present, and take the points they want to capture, but it also gives the defenders a fighting chance. Also, let’s say a Borderlands has zero defenders, you’d still be able to take in 20 players that can take points. Plenty to zerg a map in 30-45 minutes.

Furthermore, the Eternal Battlegrounds would NOT be subject to this balancing. That way, if Oceanic players can’t get into a certain BL, they can still easily go zerg the hell out of EB and push their server’s points upward.

What this change does is >compromise< between two extremes to keep servers balanced and allow PLAYER SKILL and not RANDOM OCEANIC CHANCE to win hard-fought WvW battles. Thank you for reading.

this is quite an ironic post. the last time GOM faced SoR, they so vastly outnumbered us we gave up early in the week. enjoy our spot in the upper tiers for now, we’ll see you soon.

Kormak and the little Quaggan

My paws were sore and I had an appointment with with the brilliant and lovely Michelle Blanche.
She was very calm for a Ranger, although she had a knack for stealing my apples, and I really hated that. She always had her pet Eagle with her, named Jorvi.
I always had my guard up if she tried anything. I stepped out of the portal in Fort Mariner, shook the dust off my uniform, and it was then that I felt a tug at my tail.
I turned around to see a friendly Quaggan pup.
“ooooOooo, nice Tail!” The Quaggan pup said, then cooed a few times.
I started walking away from the little guy, only to see him still following me. Looks like I made another friend. Reminded me a lot of that Iron Legion cub that I planned to recruit into my warband. Same promising grin and goofy personality.
“Let me guess,” I said, shaking my mane. “Quaggan is pleased to see me.”
“Hoo! How did you know quaggan would say that?”
“Quaggan always says that, Coo. Crap now you’ve got me saying it!”

My name is Kormak Wildborne, Engineer extraordinaire! You can usually find me patrolling Stonemist Castle, stopping only every so often to smell the flowers and chase after pretty mesmers. So I’m just a goofy Charr with his rifle doing what all intrusive engineers do, jumping at random threats, swooning over random girls, and painting hallways with splatter grenades.
I would pull out my gun from time to time, believing that I spotted an enemy, but it was almost always a Dredge peeking his head out for some fresh air.
The Dredge always said the strangest things and ‘Greetings Comrade’ was their most used phrase, and they always said it with a really funny grin on their face. I would then growl at them and they would leave me alone, and return to whatever it might be that I was doing.
From time to time I heard footsteps that weren’t of a mole, so I turned around to see what they were. As per my incredible luck, it was a beautiful ranger-girl…but she was an enemy. Her hair was red and eyes were emerald green, and she looked angrily at the honorable badges upon my uniform. She must’ve been angry at the fact that those badges meant I had defeated many of her comrades.
I saw her draw an arrow from her invisible quiver of infinity, as she began to fire relentless barrages of arrows at me. I didn’t get it, she wasn’t moving at all but shooting very quickly, and most of her attacks were just bouncing off my gear shield.
“Miss, this isn’t how I like to greet my ladies! Please stop so we can be friends!” I said politely, but still she shot.
The beauty said nothing, but continued with her attacks. I figured it was time for me to pull out my trusty shotgun and go to work.
“If you insist fair maiden! I will show no mercy!” I aimed down the irons of Ol’ Faithful and prepared to shoot.
“FOR THE MOLETARIATE!” An army of dredge then came out of the ground and started attacking my beautiful ranger friend, and she fell to the ground, overwhelmed by the Dredge.
“NO you stupid rodents! She’s mine! Your Moletariate can’t have her!” I said swatting my wrench in their faces.
After the fight was over, I went to see the friendly dredge I met earlier to find out why they intruded.
“Hey, Charlie, why did you and your pals intrude in my fight?” I asked, with a pleading look on my face.
Charlie only shrugged and said;
“Lion’s Arch can make or break you.”
“Wait a minute, you’ve never even been to Lion’s Arch!” I yelled.
I stared at Charlie with a very straight face for a while, and when I tried to talk to him again, he looked at me awkwardly.
“Greetings Comrade.” Charlie said, finally.
“Oh forget it.”
Nothing too out of the ordinary I suppose, so I backed away slowly and hopped over to the portal back to Lion’s Arch.

Kimbald.2697:

It would be great if at least Mortar got buffed to something more sturdy and usefull.
Currently we have NO other ranged option than grenades with the Grenadier trait.
Everything else is totally underwhelming in terms of range and damge compared to even the nerfed grenades.

It’s so very shamefull that an elite skill is completely overshadowed by a basic kit like grenades.
And grenades aren’t even too strong… it’s just that Mortar is so dam weak.

Even untraited I think grenades would have more utility than the stationary, terribly slow and easily destructible Mortar.

it would be nice if the traits that are supposed to work with mortar…worked with mortar. IE all the turret traits, increased supplies, etc. yes, mortar is a turret.

why WvW? because risen sure as hell aren’t going to be impressed with a legendary. i will never understand pure pve players.

I use mortar, mainly because i play wvw almost exclusively. only use it when i’m defending, and already throwing crap from the walls so the mortar translates to: more crap to throw

SimpleKingly.5021:

I’m not limiting myself to ONLY a GC build; but I’d prefer it. If you guys know of a good build for engineer in general I’d like to see them as well. Like I said, any tips would be appreciated!

they’re all over the forums. click anything with the word ‘build’ in it …>_>;

heres my Rifleman build, it’s gotten some positive feedback.
i call it potatobuild because sometimes it feels like i’m shooting idaho spuds right out of my SPAS-12. as you can see from the title of the thread, don’t take the build overly serious, as it started as something i did for the lulz and it stuck somehow.
this is a PvX build, works in almost every situation.
lets start with my trait setup, 0/30/20/10/10.
all your usual rifle mod traits(except the range amplifier)
so that means Hair trigger, rifle mod, and go for the eyes.
fire arms major traits:VI, IX, X
inventions major traits:II, V(explosive descent and energized armor[adds about ~90 to attack)
alchemy: II, fast acting elixirs
tools: II, static discharge
utilities: tool kit, elixir s, grenade kit, and med kit as the heal skill/speed buff(it’s much more reliable than elixir B, and i use that in place of nade kit when i’m running pistols)
with this build you are basically the aggro-puller in almost every aspect of the game, whether you’re assaulting titanpaw camp on a borderland, or fighting enemy players and instance mobs. However the goal of this build is to survive almost everything any sort of enemy can throw at you(I made this build to beat thieves, unexpected that it works on much harder targets)
my current stats: 2973 attack, 41% crit chance, 17,142 hp, 3176 armor. you’d think that isn’t a lot of hp, but considering how much 3176 armor mitigates, it’s not that bad. I use a mix of knight’s armor and invader’s exotics, with superior runes of the engineer.i recommend you just get crests of the soldier instead of what i did.(my trinkets aren’t even full exotic yet so these stats will go up by a few hundred)
this build allows for maximum long range damage as well as incredible close range survivability and DpH(damage per hit)
what i think people are missing with rifle is the combos. while i agree with a lot of the negative sentiments of engineer’s rifle, i do think people don’t see the immense damage that comes from using overcharged shot in combo with jump shot and nade barrage or throw wrench. and if all those crit, your target is practically gone!

my toolbelt skills aren’t being reduced by 10% even though i’ve got 10 in the trait line.
(bandage self, grenade barrage, toss elixir s, throw wrench) if this is skill specific, may want to add it to the list.

i have 10 points in the tools tree, yet not seeing any cool down reduction. is this already in the bug list?

i see nothing in there about other engineer weapons, just pistols. although, thought it was funny how many times i saw ‘actually works’
shows you how disdained we are.

this makes me wonder why Necromancers don’t get a ‘corpse explosion’ skill. wouldn’t destroy the body making it respawn, but damage anything that tries to resurrect it

Sunspots.9861:

Your server is nothing like Tarnished Coast. Your issue is one of perception not facts.

this is because TC is what us less populated servers like to call a…..
zerg server!

Daigle.8497:

“That’s 11060 hp over 10 secs.”

And then the GS warrior pushes the “Hundred Blades” button, and then you lose it all again in a short amount of time.

>warrior uses shield stun
>warrior switches to GS and uses 100bautowin
>engineer with 3200 armor is bursted down to 2k.

Grammar helps us take you more seriously. Just saying. Its kindof hard to read your post, but seems really interesting.

didn’t you read the second sentence, Mr. Grammar? it says to not take it seriously. Well, overly serious
it’s a build i have fun with, and i’ve found it very effective.

That’s because he did not read it. He only posts to make people feel good about engineers. It’s a PR cover up for a broken class instead of admitting they need help.

He said that he had fun with it. Are you saying he should feel bad about engineers, instead of having fun with them?

apparently i’m a PR cover up. how’s this for a PR cover up:
you’re an idiot.

If you take note on how the comment system works on these forums you would see I was not replying to you, but to Welswift. I was actually sticking up for you.

Thanks for calling me an idiot.

i noticed that after i read it, didn’t think it was big enough a deal to fix what i said.

Drarnor Kunoram.5180:

I disagree with Elexus Shredskin’s voice being right for female charr. It doesn’t sound like a female soldier, it sounds like a woman trying too hard to sound like a man.

i’d like you to think of the society charrs live in and reread what you said.

Rfreak.6591:

@Lightsbane.9012

It mostly resembles the temple-karma armor either the dredge one, kit active and character creation goggles, which look extremely good on charrs imo

Actually there’s quite some armors and combos that can make your character look very “tankish”, you don’t need the heavy armor, also I don’t think this is the right topic to bring that discussion up, there’s other, more suited topics, check around, usually general discussion/suggestion though.

where do you get the temple karma armor?

i’d like everyone to take a look at this picture and tell me what armor type you think he’s wearing
https://d2vn94glaxzkz3.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/wallpapers/GW2_EngineerWallpaper02-800x600.jpg
i truly believe engineers were meant to wear heavy armor, or to be able to mix and match at the least. those gauntlets are for sure either extremely reinforced leather or they’re plate.

i don’t really think being squishy is exactly smart for a roaming set up. especially because you have no idea what you’ll run into.

Goloith.6349:

As the title says I’ve been really enjoying the Mesmer. After 3 ancended items, nerf after nerf, 3 decked out sets of exotic gear it’s sad that I have to take a break from my main.

What they need to do is turn all turrets into moving robot/golems and give them somer personality like illusions. I also think that they need to make kits that are either condition damage with very little actual damage and vice-versa. Thought the point in having kits was to be versital with different builds we wanted.

yes, allow the turrets to move and detonate at the last thing they targeted

Aphix.9846:

I really don’t see a point making a new topic with the same title so ima post here:

I’m looking for a really active and semi ‘hardcore’ guild, I guess :/
I really want a guild with level 80 players with PvE and wvw interests, I personally run fractals recently and would be really great to find a static group for 20-40 dailies etc, also other dungeons and obviously some wvw. Also working on a legendary weapon currently, so basically that’s me and would love to join a ACTIVE (main goal for me) level 80…guild.
I’ve been in quite a few casual guilds where most are below lvl 50 etc, it’s all good but they don’t really offer me anything if you get me, so yeah…

Thanks ;0

(im on deso atm)

yeah, same thing he said. i’m not switching servers though.

Emptor.9148:

while the warrior is one of the most versatile classes you cant have that anymore while being rifle spec. level a warrior to 80 and spec into the rifle you’ll see what i mean plus the engie auto attacks non crit for about as much as my warr crits for and since alot of what i do is auto attack punctuated by volley and KS it just feels better to be even auto attacking for more.

lets totally forget that you have a skill equivalent to a light .50. and you can take my bloody throw wrench skill for that thing any day.

Because it is easy to learn ? It does huge damage ?

I run Sword/Torch, S/S, 20-20-30-0-0. Take that !

it does huge damage? you mean chaos storm? i’ve stood in the full amount of time a chaos storm lasts and taken 2k, maximum of 3 conditions have been applied to me. which immediately are gone when i use thievery or cleansing flame. even as an engineer or ranger i just sit in it and wait for this ‘huge damage’ you’re talking about.
unless you mean the sword/pistol part. which is good but also easily countered. kind of like 100blades

No, what about you read what you wrote. Sword/Pistol. Put Phantasm, shoot stun, swap, blurred frenzy. It’s an easy rotation.

Staff does huge damage if you are glass canon.

Then now it makes me wonder what’s the point of your thread ? You want all of them to shatter ?

nope, i’d just like a little thinking from my mesmer brosefs. cut and paste means easy to counter. also never saw much of this set up in the higher tiers of wvw, maybe that’s why.

/shrug Depends on the person, I’d say. I’ve dug that combo from Day 1. Now, if I could only get MH pistols … :P

main hand pistols on mesmer. i can see it now, the mesmer forums would be flooded with flame

any reason i’m seeing a crapton of staff sword/pistol mesmers lately? did this incredibly predictable setup get a buff or something?

GoM is playing to lose this week, apparently. Zerging a camp and allowing 10 invaders and a golem to take hills.

Get it the kitten together, people.

yeah you guys sure dont seem like the same GoM. I assume its mostly because you lost some fair weather players, I imagine you guys will get it together though, regardless you are still giving us and SF a run for our money. great fights at SM and other parts of the map I hope it stays that way all week. unfortunately Xmas is likely to ruin at least one server in this match up.

we’re the permanent underdog i guess. although it would be nice if maybe SF or HOD would choose to attack one of those borderlands instead. third place=easiest target i guess

You can’t be serious, can you? I just spent 3 hours defending HoD BL from large forces of both GoM and SF. We then had forces in both BLs taking stuff, not just GoM’s …Your not the only one having to defend yourselves here and your barely in third place.

no one said anything about me being right. when i was more active in wvw today, i saw all maps but ours the ‘proper’ color.
good fight at redbriar(bluebriar?) one of those. the commander npc glitched inside the tower and killed all the defenders.

Isslair.4908:

What’s the problem with adding an F5 button for another kit? It’s not like someone’s limiting it.

the problem with adding a F5 option is it may be too much for multiple aspects. Do you really want to have to worry about switching between 5 kits at a time? I’d personally be ripping my hair out trying to do so. 4 may even be too much, but it seems manageable and seems like it would be easier to implement since they already have the setup for F1-4. I think Med kit is fine as is and shouldn’t need to go to and “F” slot so It would only be one kit.

Also regarding the “not” having to use kits statement: I totally agree, and it was a thought I had when thinking about this set up.

i can’t say i’d mind having big ol’ bomb on an f5 key. but with the addition of another f key means another utility slot, which means engineer would be overpowered on paper.
reality is we wouldn’t be, warrior getting another utility, would be demonstrably overpowered. on top of what they already are

someone else noticed it? hopefully we’re both wrong.

look at that, it’s only our BL contested. again. s’ok gom’s used to it.
dear SF:
you’re wasting SO much time at bay it’s almost sad.

Woodsman.3461:

Lightsbane.9012:

why is it that only GOM’s BL is contested?

Because when last night hitting both GoM and SF borderlands, we found the a huge weakness in the GoM lands so we pushed it, obviously SF picked up the hint too. Nothing personal.

you’d think a full red map would mean ‘hey, points for the taking’
it’s never personal bro, lol.

why is it that only GOM’s BL is contested?

Update – 14 December 2012

Engineer

Engineer kits now inherit the bonuses from currently equipped weapon sigils.
“Grenade” skill now does 30% less damage to balance against using sigils.

i’m already aware of the -30% however i didn’t notice a damage reduction in the tool belt aspect until tonight

Kentaro.6571:

Problem is people are only thinking about pure damage as engineer. Probably running Power/Precision/Critical Damage gear with berseker accessories and Grenade Kit as their only Kit with might elixirs.

It’s just like seeing a 5 signet warrior, laziness.

i’m running tool/nade kits and elixir s.
please, tell me again how you’re right and the gripes aren’t.

pre-patch i believe my grenade barrage damage(in the tooltip) was 264 x6, now i see it as 221 x6.
another nerf? really? someone tell me i’m losing it. i understand the nerf is insignificant, the point isn’t in how little damage was taken away, it’s just that there was another one on top of the recent ones.

oh wow they must be doing something. 40mb patch so far.

don’t worry, it’s just them nerfing engineer some more.

nice fight NPC guild from AR. first time i fight two thieves spamming heartseeker and not notice it

In all seriousness, though, this week was really fun. Hats off to both NSP and AR for the great fights and closest scoring 3-way match-up of the week. I’m sad to see DR taking our place in this tier.

So long, and thanks for all the badges!

very well done, salad. it’d be my pleasure to fight with you.
