Guild Wars 2

Excellent……Things are going according to plan….

muhahahahahahahaha!!! (the laughing fades as he jets away on his new shiny awesomelynotselfstunning rocket boots)

For reals tho, NSP flipped our stuff during Euro time, IoJ got our stuff in Oceanic, and primetime was a double gang bang (2/3 satisfied customers). Its been a good match thus far and I hope that maybe, just maybe we’ve learned to protect our stuff? No? Well sheeeeit.

I can honestly say I doubt (and am finally happy of it) that the elixir gun will leave my utillity slots any time soon. I’m very happy I can finally use 3-4 kits. This is how the engi was meant to be played. Lots of buttons, lots of options.

Sooo I’m fairly disappointed with the change to elixir R as well as rocket boots. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll be the first to say rocket boots needed to not CC us, but taking the stun break from it sort of counter-acted the awesome of being able to use it…

Also, mortar still blows huge ‘ole monkey nuts so that’s still on the shelf.

Yeah, after looking at the other profession’s buffs, our changes really aren’t that awesome overall.

(EDIT) Holy kitten, healing mist breaks stun.

HippoLogic.2519:

To the MOW ranger by his spawn in NSP BL great random duel props to you and I like your style of letting me rez after you downed me something i will be doing now after good fights like that.

[MOW] is a fairly classy bunch, I fought a guardian commander today by one of their camps while one of his buddies let us finish the fight. I saluted and was let on my marry way. If either of the two [MOW] guys read this, ty for not team gangbanging the asuran engineer after our fight

CURSE YOU IOJ GUARDIAN!! You’ve foiled my 1 man breach of stonemist with your meddling!!!

I found golems tonight! So we decided to blitz NSP’s map and paint that kitten green.

Seriously, though, guys… don’t smoke whatever PD is passing around. It will take you down a road to ruin that none of us want to travel.

THAT road, my good sir, is called sweet sweet victory.

Welp, Elixir R is kind of done ha. Should have given it a solid cooldown reduction or added a new effect to it like cleanse immobilize or something.

I still cannot believe that mesmers get that 20% reduction on illusion summoning (a trait that reduces cooldowns across the entire class) for only 5 pts. That ladies and gentlemen is and always will be BS.

Sincerely – All Engineers and their craptastic turrets lol

Oh bulbasaur, we read the forums……oh we do indeed…….

I think the thing that makes me the most sad about this matchup is that there aren’t any [HOES] to be chased down by the [HARD] guys….

I’ve been lied to for the last time…

Didn’t you hear? The new duel spot is where all the orb guards used to be. Yeah its farther, but way better like an arena.

Yeah man!!! This was the spot, sheesh, didn’t ya get the memo??

Also, we meet again …… THE DENTIST! Kindly from the biggass char guardian drivin stakes in ya

Great fights to all involved in DH bl late night – XOXO and SPCA, you guys really rocked our kitten many times tonight in that fight. Mad props.

Guys guys…GUUUUYYYS! Zen is going to bed! Duel time! DH bl quick!

Dear NSP, that fight in our NE tower just now. Holy balls you guys brought the hate. Sorry about the kitten who chose to laugh at you guys after the fight. He is an kitten not a representative of our server.

vinceftw.5086:

I am running my own build but it’s not uncommon. I’m playing 30/10/0/10/20, p/p, nades and tool kit. I really like the toolkit for the 16s cooldown block and the nice confusion. The pull is great to catch runners as well and u can set up some great burst with it.

haha nice, I’m running the same trait allocation but I use the rifle for the single target CC.

Remillard.8691:

I am an engineer because I am an engineer. Quite literally.

Ha thats actually the reason i did mine first too :P.

I stay an engineer because everything else seems too simple – I like having tons of skills to use!

THE Dentist.5960:

Thx to Ninja’s for the duels. You are one tough nut to crack! Rule number one: if you interrupt a fight. You will die mercilessly.

Good times man, and sorry to the hilariously noodle-esk upleveled that I was forced to kill.

Nessuno.1253:

Glaeser.8015:

Our regular groups don’t have anyone that records, but as fate would have it we had Purimm with us and I believe he was recording.

Nice i know it would have to be edited down but i would like to see it. We won’t have anyone that can record on our side till next week.

GRIP! the kitten man!? That video has super strong evidence that we got our kitten handed to us…….the ENTIRE night lol. Why in the world would you ask for something like that!

Is that all you got? Toppin it off with a Santa hat, bishes…

HEY HEY HEY – that’s enough you two, take this fight to the moa ring. Place your bets and let the feathers fly.

Good to see IoJ holding thier own with the higher tiers!! Although this means you’ve passed us in rating……uncool man……uncool.

To the OS commander who rushed into the SE tower on your NSP bl, you brave soul lol. No one followed!

Noodica.5428:

Nessuno.1253:

Haha HOES it is always funny when my guildies tell me you guys are coming! Well its better than getting chased by the HARD guys from IoJ!

hahahha! Exactly what we thought of when creating our name, how others would take it!

There was much talk of “boats n hoes” last night due to the nature of bay……a few boats….and a ton of [HOES] haha

Godkitten I’ve been having fun in NSP bl tonight. Fun fights ’erbody, lets keep it goin all week.

Alls I know is 2 dudes from SPCA embarresed the hell out of me and some other gents in some bl at least once this week. A char mesmer and a guardian. Hats of to you two, i was the engi who kept getting killed on account of trying a new TERRIBLE build (wellllllll and you guys completely out played us).

TeamBattleAxe.3901:

Sororita.3465:

>.>

so, shut down NSP and DH in one night and theyll have a crazy party in lake, im fine with that.

The lake party was great. However, it seemed some of the NSP responded unfavorably to the cookies our hosts provided. I tried to get some footage of the ensuing NSP/DH post-cookie bloodbath, but my bandicam crashed.

Fortunately, I was able to dig up some archive video that should serve as an accurate depiction of the events that unfolded. http://youtu.be/u011XHmYq1Q

Very accurate depiction if I do say so myself. Absolute kittencrash.

I really like this idea. Having some sort of indicator, even if just the color of your score, that letsbyou know whether you are aheadish/behindish/ or on targetish eould bea great addition and help morale all around.

I love the idea of passive effects. If rng is the idea, give passive chance effects. If the idea is to make gadgets more in line with signets, give trait bonuses.

For example, goggles give a precision bonus, ram gives crit dmg bonus, slick shoes give speed bonus, rocket boots give cond dmg bonus, and mine gives power bonus. They all synergize well with the respective traits tho the bonus might have to be less than their signet counterparts because the actives are better.

Super stoked to fight GoM again. RH, i look forward to the inevitable clashes – always a good time.

Good fights in IoJ bl to [KING], that group you had was a fun time, we were pretty bummed when ya’ll pulled in a few “cheez” classes haha. You guys were really good at getting your people back up, we could def work on that.

BlazeQ.1095:

You forget Commanders who only lead their own guild members. Everyone should have an equal opportunity to do so. Be it a small group commander or a pug commander. If anything I would like to see either a toggle or a separate tag for those of us who could care less about commanding pugs, but only want to command guildies. I would be happy if only other commanders and my guild members could see me tagged up.

To be honest though, saying only certain people should be able to be a commander is pretty elitist. Even seasoned commanders make mistakes or misjudge a situation. The only real way to learn is trial by fire. Have some patience, give people time to learn, and by all means send suggestions and offer to help teach those that are new or are making newbie mistakes.

Just my 2 cents.

I agree, I REALLY wish that buying a tag gave you options such as only guild members can see you, and your symbol shows up as a different color for squad members so that zergs can be easily kept separate – this would also give more people a reason to join a commander’s squad.

Siphaed.9235:

It maybe an evil, but a necessary evil to balance the servers because ARROWCARTS ARE NOT ANTI-SIEGE DEVICES! They should be doing minimal damage to siege at best. A trebuchet can take 300,000 arrows hitting it and still fire it’s load to the enemy…because it’s wood, and the arrows just barely stick into the wood…..NOT FLESH (i.e. personal, which is what an arrowcart is for).

Yeah, idk why arrow carts are able to do so much damage to rams. Frankly, I’d like to see them do very little damage to rams and have a skill like the balista that does more damage to siege (fire arrows or something) on a longish cooldown.

Lightsbane.9012:

you leave room for comments but clearly you’re a thief player. is someone upset that ArenaNet made it so you can’t just kitten around in stealth anymore? i guess they’re starting to realize the damage capabilities of their prized rogue profession.

LOL pretty sure the OP hates thieves and gets ganked rather regularly by them.

WyldKat.4712:

Burnfall.9573:

So in other word, the only way to “fight and win a stealth thief class” is to Pay a Price… 15 badges and 525 karma…I leave room for comments

I take the stance that this means “ha ha, I’m forcing you into something”. It makes me feel all warm fuzzy tingly that I’m forcing someone to go out of their way to counter me.

Thief, OH YEAH! Fear the powah!

This dude on the other hand….obviously a thief lol.

Yeah, I agree with some of the above posters in that the problem lies in that you can buy the legendary weapons. Frankly, the number of people running around with sunrise is ridiculous, it makes them much less unique.

They should be account bound, as should the precursors. This whole you can buy them on the TP makes them infinitely less epic.

melodey.4652:

Score update!

(edit: if someone could explain how to post the score updates at the top I’d appreciate it)

The OP has to designate your post as an answer to the question. If you don’t own the post, you’ve done all you can do

Holy cow we killed it on reset.

Thieves out there, you want a lesson in how not to be a cutter of cookies? Take a lesson from [ND] on SF – these guys are pretty baws.

Ok, so the main point is to survive long enough to be able to really pressure people the entire fight. I was just confused why you went so high on the armor, I find that I can have almost the exact same effect from a bit further back and with 500 less armor with a good bit more damage.

I guess the real benefit to the tankyness is being able to give stability to the right people (the front liners – warriors/guards) instead of all the casters or people not in the direct line of fire.

Reset… The Furnace is lit.

And will run out of gas on Monday. LOL

Don’t be so sure about that this week

This^

^ What he said and how he said it

^ As mentioned heretofore by my esteemed colleagues.

~G27

Ditto!

Well…..it looks like ya’ll need to get a more efficient furnace cause you’ve been out of gas since….Monday was it? haha

Score update for all those at work.

Vargs.6234:

I thought it was pretty rough at first but it becomes second nature fairly quickly. Now everything other than D/D Thief, Ele, and Engineer feel kinda boring by comparison.

Be warned that Engineer grenades are horrendously annoying to use though. Second only to ranger 1H sword in terms of awkwardness. It’s the most effective setup they have, but I don’t run it anymore just because it drives me insane.

This guy pretty much summed it up. Grenades are very annoying if you stay in the kit, and other than my engineer, my ele is the only alt that I’ve got that keeps me entertained :P

What is the damage of the glyph of storms comparable to? The build seems like a self tank and not a whole lot else, but the stats look like you will, in fact, most likely be the very last person standing – and there is a lot to be said for that. I’m a bit confused on where the massive amounts of damage is coming from – its obviously not condition based.

Shoot…..IoJ is really creeping up on us aren’t they…. Well thats no good….

Tuesday night score update. Have had some awesome fights today, lots of SF zergs smashing up against southern towers and getting beat back by the stupendous tactics that are Darkhaven (it had NOTHING to do with the 10,000 arrow carts we had in there).

…..and on that night the Great Lord of the Flame Ram was pleased.

Seriously though, that took entirely too long.

And DH takes the lead!

Props to that silvari ranger from IoJ on your bl for being awesome. You charged in every single time, even when those thief buddies of yours bailed. You sir, are a man.

And the gap continues to close!

Seriously guys, stop trolling each other lol. Just ignore the obvious troll so we can keep this awesome match-up we have going.

Mid-day update for all those at work. DH is catching uuuuuupppp lol

King Amadaeus.8619:

Zelthios.5902:

This is why I was correct about you guys not being able to keep the lead.

Shame we didn’t realize that until you told us, we had no clue, thanks man….We will now start recruiting, since the high-lord Zelthios has decreed from up on high our folly in winning this tier, praise be to you sir! Fore we had no idea that it was lack of Oceanic coverage that was allowing our two foes (who strangely seem to move as one) the ability to do at night what they cannot do in the light of the NA day.

You guys definitely beat the crap out of us during reset, but we did pretty well last week during NA primetime, and if yesterday was any showing it should continue through this week as well. But, lets be real, its the night time when DIoJH takes the lead….

The most hilarious thing I’ve done was on my engineer. I pulled an invader from the last set of stairs before the chest in the EB JP – I started the pull while on the ground and at the last second, jumped backwards over the edge. The yank caused the poor guy to fall from the very top all the way past my edge to his death while I managed to land on the same ledge I jumped from. I felt sort of bad afterwards simply because he was upleveled and an engineer to boot.

Alchemist.3692:

If it was just IoJ vs SF you guys wouldn’t last and would get steam rolled hard. […] IoJ on the other hand.. well there’s not much to say there.

Good luck, you’ll need it.

Maybe IoJ (allegedly) only attacks SF because nobody from DH is calling them scrubs.

Or it could be the big secret alliance, yeah. When we’re ready to go public, it’s going to be called Darjanthirhaven. Anet even agreed to merge our servers.

Thought we agreed on Isle of Janthaven

Well sheeit, I thought it would be the Dark Isle of Janthaven….
