Guild Wars 2

Wanze.8410:

Their favourite server is the one that doesnt GvG.

Another argument to why it is Vizunah :p

I give golem driving lessons, only 10g/hour

I have been rewarded #1 golem driver by 2 different instances,
quality lessons guaranteed, for only 10g extra I show you some nice tricks.

Sir Cuddles The Fluffy

I already complimented Vizunah for their forum politics months ago.
I played on SFR during it’s glory days. So yea, I still got hate against Vizunah :p. But you got to admit they are a frustrating server to fight against. Going to bed when you flipped everything and waking up to T3 fully supplied and sieged up keeps. Viz are great defenders, so takes hours and hours to take it back. Rest of the day you dominate again to lose everything in the evening.

Viz is a blob server, the average player is from pretty low quality with terrible builds and tons of upscaleds. Nobody can deny this. BUT not a single server on EU or NA has the organization and dedication for PPT as Viz does. They have scouts everywhere 24/7, man ACs 24/7 and have a big zerg up 24/7. They play the PPT game better than anyone else. The only time they got their kitten kicked was when SFR had a nightcrew.

There are only a few organised guilds on Viz, and their quality has dropped. No offense, but your guilds used to be better. Many value the quality of a server on the guilds playing for that server. And mostly they are right, because the server with the best guilds often wins. But Viz was the exception and that created all the hate, they just were ‘different’.

The fights on the borderlands are good, bit dissapointed on the solo roaming part. Only getting a few good ones. Would be nice if a few more people on both servers would play for 1vs1 fights. Great to see you again Viz tho, didn’t expect it :p.

Blacksmoke.5792:

This is what happens when Vizunah really play for points, and it was vs the best servers of europe SFR and Desolation.

We always respect our enemies even when we lose, we know that we are not the best server so we try our best to improve our skills.

Those screens mean nothing, this is what VcY did when they played for points and note: in primtime. GG viz, got plenty more of those.

And did I read that correctly, Viz telling us not to play zerker? 75% of Vizunah are zerker rangers who die before I can barely tag them. I still remember our guildleader saying in pure dissapointment after we rushed through the gate: “Was this it? They are all dead already, barely used my skills. Woah, this is bad. Even for Viz.”

But I am cheating here, you can’t compare an organized guild with a pug zerg.

Zenguy.6421:

I’m beginning to wonder if part of Anet’s purpose in reintroducing the Bloodlust buff despite the very strong opposition against this, is the hope that it may divert the energy currently going into GvG back into more core WvW participation. If that’s that case, I can’t l see it working very well as it doesn’t address the reasons why GvG has split off in the first place.

But it isn’t. Agg and EP are most likely the best guilds in GvG atm. They both field 30+ in WvW all the time. It’s not like GvG guilds don’t also WvW. Hell, all GvG guilds are WvW guild that want to prove what they are capable of in the first place

On NA maybe. But yea, my guild does as many GvGs as possible and we have between 5-35 people in WvW at ALL TIMES. Day and night.

Just run 2 eles, coordinate well and you can get 20+ might stacks up at all times. This helps with the lack of damage :p.

If you nerf healing signet only a bit, everyone and yea literally everyone will go for adrenal surge again. Because healing signet is only slightly better right now. Why? Because it gets hurt A LOT by poison. My friend is a thief, he just poison spam those warriors and melts them. I have seen him doing it, not pretty.

For instance, look at guardians. They have insane healing, much more than warriors. Interrupt them? With all their stunbreakers and stability? Good luck with that. But it is fair because guardians are these bunkers, with less damage and less mobility. But real hard to take down alone.

People underestimate how strong poison is. And don’t say we clean it right off. Just put tons of crap conditions on them and it’ll stay on.

Nerf HS and it will dissapear from all builds again. /fact

So you want to chase down a perma swiftnss warrior without having movement speed buff on yourself? (apart from the 20s which is nothing)

Or you expect that a range! class has the same mobility as a melee class completely specced into mobility?

This entire thread makes no sense to me.

The devs made a game, this game was called the siege game. But people quickly grew tired of it when all the tactics were discovered. Placing siege and counter siege was going on auto-pilot. People started to get burn-out. But a few clever people just said: “kitten this sieging, we do it our own way.”

They came out of the towers and started to do open field fights. These proofed to be very difficult and tons of coordination was involved. Every fight felt like a new challange. But the Devs didn’t like this. Nobody liked their game, but like they shall! So they started adding things in forcing people to play ‘their’ game.

But these players were inventive and found ways around these things. Everything that got implemented to promote siegewars was ignored and played around. People even started to set up a GvG ladder, completely ignoring siegewars. This disturbed the Devs, “Why don’t they like our game?”: they said.

But like they shall! Was repeated over and over again. So they analyzed GvG, what was important for us in those fights. And they found it, balance! “That is easy”: they said. “We just give them a buff, ruining their balance and a chance on a fair fight. This immediately solves the dueling issue and roaming issue aswel. Because they didn’t really played for points either.”

The Devs thought they had a genius plan and started coding and adding pretty things PvE players would like. They added in their solution to these filty guilds not playing for points. And carefully they watched with big hopes up. Would these guild finally start playing for points? But what is this? Where are all the players? Queus are gone, server load is low and nowhere you would see more than 3 players of the same guild running together.

Little did they know that regret comes after. They should have listened to their most loyal players. Now they are all gone, hooked to another game. They tried so hard to make people play their game as they wanted. Instead they should have fixed issues like the commander icon and matchmaking. And left it to the players to decide how they wanted to play the game.

~story of WvW

Every change favoured the coverage + massive blobbing vizu does.

So yea, you can safely assume vizunah is their favourite server by far.
Look at:
1) AC buff
2) Masteries
3) Bloodlust
4) Rams and trebs (especially supply removal, we all know vizu loves trebs)
5) Not here yet, but sure to come: Golems (vizu their favourite tactic)
—> will be the day this game dies.

As far as I know, elementalists are still really strong solo roamers. Better even in small groups. 2 guys in my guild kitten everything together on their eles.

Got to admit that I have seen tons of bad elementalists out there tho.

/signed

Again, I’ll give it 1 month. If nothing gets fixed, I will look for a new game. Well already looking actually.

We never asked for a buff, it is a stupid idea. This favours the server with the most players, because they can miss the most to hold the points. And you killed GvG in the process. Way to go to dissapoint your most hardcore (14hours+/day) players.

As I said before, Gw2 is a gem. But Anet just can’t identify it.

Thrumdi.9216:

Welcome to Project Kill Your Own Game Part III.

Part 1: AC Buff
Part 2: Randomized Matchups
Part 3: Bloodlust stat buff

Part 4: Ban all the guilds doing GvG

Anet created their dream WvW, servers with the most players win. No skill involved, everyone can jump straight in and does not have to worry about smaller groups wiping them.

Thimill.9162:

yeaaaaah ! Aurora Glade !
I’ll finally fight my old VcY loves ! <3

BTW ! Run is up to gvg (10 vs 10 to 12 vs 12 ) ! Contact Naestho in game !

Love you to Soibo <3, shame you couldn’t charge that 100man blob into us because of the update :p.

Kingface.9781:

Saint Scarlet.2906:

I’d swap places with Kodfish if i could, Viz are a much better server to fight than SFR, ER or Deso. Plus i want to play with TUP & HoB!!!

WTH? You’re sick or something to say such a thing?! You gonna pull SFR and Deso guys on this topic… for one time we have none of them…

Kingface, the vizu troll. Still active on the forum I see.

Xerion.8014:

Had great fun in EB with some guys from Velocity [VcY] this afternoon, had some fun 1v1’s. The 15 min fight with the Ele was the best To bad the AG zerg came in to ruine it.

Ooh and the fight at the front of FSP’s keep was hilarious to watch. Hope you guys enjoyed it aswell ^^.

Hope we can do some more 1v1’s in the future

Cheers

Yea was a good fight, kinda ironic that when I complain on the forum about no 1vs1 that not even 5min later I find someone willing to. You got a lot of healing going on, needed a lot of damage to finish you off.

You were fighting against our mains tho, the thief has like 2k+ hours on him and I got 1.7k on my warrior. I did use the cheesy build, but it is the best for solo roaming and escaping angry zergs :p.

Twinny.9304:

MiLkZz.4789:

Does any Kale or Punk EVER solo roam? Because haven’t seen them running alone, not in this match up or the previous.

Kudos for the thief+mesmer group and some kale a ROS keep in EB, think the thief group was like from perixles or something. Good job waisting all your time on killing 1 warrior. And please don’t run away when you are alone next time. Is bad sportmanship.

When I am in WvW I am built and traited for group support, Personally I lost interest in roamin quite some time back, although other members may still do this outside event time idk.

However, yesterday I joined event a little just after event started, and I was trying to get to the rest of the guys, and there happened to be 2 randoms running in same direction as me, and I think it was AG pug group chased me and let randoms go lol, hunted me down like a dog and squished me like a fly. Not complaining about it, after all, I am red and I am an enemy, not that I encourage chasing 1 guy with a blob but it was very annoying but quite funny same time as I watched the 2 randoms freely get a away without a scratch lol, I thought to myself “why me? What the hell did I do to deserve this?”lol.

Yea had that a few times aswel, it is the tag I guess :p. But solo roaming is very dissapointing this week. Normally I get some good fights around EB, but not this week. Oh well, the raids are still fun.

8000 heal on 20 second cooldown, yea that is so overpowered. Oh my gosh, that it ain’t nerfed yet!

No seriously, apply poison and be done with it. Healing signet is a decent heal, nothing to strong and nothing to weak. And Anet knows it and wont change it. Learn to counter specific abilities or you wont kill anything.

Same with greatsword-mace/shield, yea it was really strong a few weeks ago when it was new. But now people know what it does and how to counter. It ain’t overpowered.

Warrior is fine now, just use your brain and you can kill one. I killed them on my engi/necro and guardian. Nothing special.

I have done many towers solo and even bay on my warrior. Also a 3 man sneak cap of garrison worked out aswel (5s later and we would have failed).

I know a thief that did SM solo aswel.

alleyezonme.7156:

I understand you get an hp boost in wvw, I had 32k in PvE also.

WvW bonusses stack up through the week, meaning they are at the highest on friday afternoon. They effect everything everywhere. So they buff you in PvE aswel.

I am 100% sure this drop comes from the reset and in 2-3 days you’ll be on 32k again.

Fishbait.6723:

To all those that stated they didn`t want normalised gear, ala spvp, I bet come Tuesday they`ll regret their words.
I know one thief with two legends, glad that is on same server as me.

/sigh

I’ll still see legendaries as PvE scrub and will focus and kill them as always. That small stat advantage wont save them, if they have 1.5k or 2.5k health when my final blow of 3k+ hits, it doesn’t matter. They’ll still die.

This looks/reads like a troll post. Because OP can’t seriously be complaining about this :/.
He deserves to die if he doesn’t run stability or interrupts or never dodges.

Hammer is fine and doesn’t perma stun lock you. Think you are talking about a different game maybe?

Actually sounds like a decent idea, devs should be able to make something out of this.

You have my vote.

Thesilentflute.8761:

80% lol are you high you can see the guilds that do it here.http://gw2gvg.com/leaderboard.php?r=na

"GvG"ers make up 1.4k-5k of 3 million players less than 1%; if we use the high end they are 0.166666667%.

3 million people playing WvW? You made me spill my drink, sir. There aren’t even close to 3 million people playing WvW.

Believe it or not, but if you count in hours played in WvW per guild, you’ll immediately find out these GvG guilds hold the majority. Our guild have people playing 14-15 hours/day every day. If we go server by server and make the GvG guilds quit for 1 week you’ll painfully see your points drop.

You definitely deserve credit for the fantastic work and effort you’ve put into making that site, you really do.

However I don’t think picking matches for guilds is a very good idea, I would rather keep it as it is today, with the guilds sorting that stuff out on their own.

I don’t know, how many times people have denied us? We freaking transfered to another server and still people don’t want to GvG us. And these guilds do GvG against others. We can go every day of the week and still they deny. I think these guilds should get named and shamed somehow on the site.

Considering the implicit rule of respect that I’ve seen in all GvG matches, I don’t really think that’s the right attitude to take. My guild has been unable to take GvGs for almost two weeks now and it’s rather disgusting the rumors I’ve heard from other people. Guilds do not need to be named and shamed if they don’t want to fight. And besides, the idea was to reward people for accepting, not punishing people for declining (somehow, but not sure how that would happen). Yeah, it sucks for you guys who get a lot of declined GvGs, but there must be other factors at play, at least in NA…TW has mentioned it constantly being an issue, yet why is it not an issue for Agg? They floated between 2 and 1 and everyone still loves to fight them, and they love to fight.

If you deny all matches, I can live with that. Like when you take a break. But when you do GvGs against some and ignore others even tho you can do one. I think that ain’t sportmanship and they should be named and shamed. Every week we ask EVERY guild we can possibly GvG and we had 1 GvG in the past 3 weeks…

Got to agree with that tellerion, but I do think there should be a challange button on the website and guilds regulary declining GvGs should get a punishment against their rating.

I simply love the suggestions happening in this thread, this could result in something beautiful.

Had one aswel, after around 10 ranks. And yes it is 2500 and yes it gets boosted by Wexp booster. Altho this shouldn’t be and will get corrected in the future, enjoy it while it lasts.

Think they are like 1/10 drop chance.

We GvGers will always find a way to fight each other on fair terms. If not, we all leave the game and look for a new one where we can.

How to destroy a tier 1 server by Anet, give free transfers to medium servers. GG SFR, bet you didn’t see that one coming (yea still haven’t forgiven you for that one). Good to see they recovered well tho. But was real real close to collapsing.

Chiolas.1326:

Anet worked kitten the recent colour changes and more stuff that no one asked for… O.o

This, give the puppies us what we ask for. Where are those baby alligator commander changes we asked for since beta? Why are there still so many pve aspects on all the maps. And where the bambis is our GVG map!

Only thing I hear on those livestreams is we read the forums and respond to your suggestions, we think they are great but because they aren’t coming from us we aren’t going to implement them. Sorry, here have new colours.

iorlas.6721:

lol…Over react much? what a bunch of children you whiners are.The colours do not burn anyones eyes,a little brighter sure but come on get a grip kitten .

They are ugly, no way around it. Original colours were much better. And that is all besides the point. Why is Anet changing totally random things in WvW and not the things we ask for like that better integrated commander options, guild commander icons, etc…..

It is frustrating to see them doing absolutely nothing we ask for, even if they are GREAT suggestions and they just keep adding random things to which we all have to adjust because they are heavily changing the meta.

\_/ my cup of care, oh look it is empty!

Still going to do GvG, who cares about points. We play for kills and winning fights from other guilds.

Bring back the manly colours! I know you want to draw more girls but don’t do it with colour changes.

In the mean time, a temporary fix: tune down green and blue gamma to get slightly more manly colours.

Keep crashing, porting and rubberbanding everywhere

Our guild can’t play because at every fight 3/4th of us is DCing.

support tank, why not use soldier runes? Gives a lot more support to the group and makes those shouts more powerful.

We build 10 superior ACs and ballistas at Golanta and rolled that Blobadon zerg 2 times, they didn’t come back after. Still a nice 150 kills.

Get a good guild, learn about WvW builds (not on the official forums) learn tactics and choke points and you’ll wipe that zerg. You can port all over the map with a 20 man group and a few mesmers and take down forces much much much larger than you. It is hard, requires tons of coordination and experience but it is THE single most rewarding thing in this entire game.

Yea Devon is either drunk or just happy today. I like him a lot. Drink more please! Tell us some Anet secrets.

Yes, I used to play warrior 75% of the time in WvW. Now I play him 100% of the time, I want to play on my guardian/engi/necro aswel. But they are all stuck with less than 100hours played on. And my warrior is rapidely closing in on 2000hours+.

Make it happen, don’t care about any other kittenty content.

Lure their skullcracker out, act like you get to close by mistake and dodge roll or just run in circles around that warrior. He will miss skullcracker and you can keep on damaging him. Don’t waist low damage skills that root/chill because he is almost immune to those, just use the big damaging ones.

It is a strong 1vs1 build, not unbeatable. Good mesmers still seem to be laughing with warriors. And yea, a group shouldn’t have troubles with one. If he catches someone and starts to 100b, the rest of the group can burst him down.

Sooooo…Is there a server (except Vabbi) who hasn’t done this before?

I don’t see anything impressive, I know a dude taking an entire borderland with 1 golem.

ps.: I got screenshots of ticking 695 against Vizunah.

Blix.8021:

GvG is way more important to this game’s community than idiotic tower flipping, sorry

This, other server has equally numbers there aswel. So numberwise everything stays fair. GvG is what kept many guilds in this game for so long. I think all the guilds should put in an effort and do it more.

WvW is casual, if you are trying to play GW2 hardcore, you are going to have a bad time.

Spiked armor is a great trait, integrated in many of my builds. This gives 50% retal uptime with a little bit of boon duration. Add in a bit from a guardian or whatever and you have 100% uptime, retaliation is still incredibly strong. Especially in WvW. It even helped me win a lot of 1on1 fights in WvW.

It is the best Grandmaster trait we have for Defense.

I hope u trolling.. and Noobs vs Noobs is the last thing we care about when its comes to balance

I am not alone on this matter, even the Red Guard warrior couldn’t get over how powerful this skill actually is. I think you guys are underestimating this one. 50% uptime is strong and retal counters fast hitting builds. It helps to kill mesmers and engineers.

I have seen retal numbers popping up on my screen dealing more damage than I could do in 10second window just with my hammer.

It is the best grandmaster skill you can take in the Defense line at the moment.

I have seen a guardian holding SM lord room all by his own against 2 servers with atleast 100 players each. At the end he killed them all and ate their corpses.

And he didn’t even get buffed!

No, they should double the effectiveness of all the warriors skills to be on par with the guardian!

Wait empower or empower allies, which one you mean.

Empower = 2% damage buff/boon on yourself, only works on you
Empower allies = 150 power boost, works on you and allies.

Leo G.4501:

MiLkZz.4789:

I learned on this forum that there are 2 players you should ignore. Don’t try to reason with them, because they’ll never see that warrior is actually a really strong class. I have never EVER seen a possitive reply from them. But yea some people are pessimists, some are optimists and some are realists. I like to stay a realist.

These 2 are: XII and that daecello (or whatever) guy.

Would add AlBundy (I think his name is). Daecollo does sometimes spark some discussion and debate that I admit I learn from (usually from posters posting videos or facts about other classes) but much of the contrary discussion does get me out there playing PvP and WvW where normally I’d stick with dungeons and open world PvE.

I will say, the OP’s build looks effective but it’s not easy to learn to use. Need to be able to read the enemy well and I’m not doing so well at that.

I thought Xll and Al bundy were pretty well informed judging from their replies.

Most of your posts , milk, are zerg wvw and – correct me if I’m wrong- you are playing a thief now and in favor of the downed system?

As for LeoG, I can’t see his posts because they keep getting moderated and removed for some reason.

What Xll said about Stefanplc’s video were valid points. I Just see he was aggressive about it and Stefan does not take well to criticism.

You made me laugh a bit ^^, I am reaching the 1500 hours on my warrior, atleast 1200+ in WvW and around 50k+ kills aswel. And yes, well not entirely zerg. You’ll rarely find my in a pug zerg. My post are about organized guild raids. We run around 25-35 people depending on the day. And yea, I like the downed state. Nothing wrong with it. My guild never complained about it. Let melee train just pierce through the enemy downing everything and the range nukes those downed to dead. Every kill grants health, so healing the melee train.

400HPs= 12000, in a 30s course. If you can’t deal 12k dmg in 30s, you are either running in white armor or are actually pretty bad. There is nothing wrong with healing signet. A guardian using his heals goes over the 12k every 30seconds. By far even and don’t tell me they are much harder to use than the healing signet, the virtues are instant.

An ele, it ain’t that hard to pull it’s heals off, like 5min of practice? It is harder to place your skullcrack on a target. Eles heal a ton more than a warrior.

A mesmer might not have the heals, but oh boy, the evasion skills and blinks. They shouldn’t even get hit by skullcrack…EVER.

An engineer, even this one can heal more than 12k in 30seconds, he has a lot of healing sources aswel and can stack up regen to rediculous hights. Not to mention all his evades and skills to keep his distance. Good luck as warrior to get close to a good one.

Even rangers start healing tons when they drop low. And they can evade a lot aswel.

A thief, doesn’t even need explenation.

A warrior is actually just fine now, don’t think we need more buffs, just small adjustments. Yea, we are finally in the balanced tier.

Callahan.3180:

MiLkZz.4789:

Don’t think I ever lost a 1vs1 in the water, don’t forget to place a rune on your helmet. And yes, even rangers died. Just keep killing them till they have no downstate, take loooooong time tho. Mostly they give up earlier and let you kill em.

Never faced a mesmer underwater aye? goodluck with that once it happens.

Plenty, remember that the harpoon F1 keeps following even when the enemy stealths and it hits like a truck. Mesmers are long fights aswel, but healing signet OP underwater. But yea, do spear ‘5’, pull skill, ‘2’ switch to snipe mode. They’ll be very low or dead depending on how many evasive skills they used.
