Guild Wars 2

<3 Knight, it was fun, and I wish the hurricane hadn’t messed with my time I could be on for the dances and everything the past few days.

<3 the vid, and had a ton of fun!

To the SoR group currently camping our spawn on the ET BG… do you really have fun doing this? Seriously?

Mixed group, not any one guild. 8-10, sometimes more. Just camping our spawn. How do you report this? There’s no option on the “report” menu for spawn camping.

Yes, apperently they must think that spawn camping is fun, because they seem to keep going with it. Yesterday SoR even builded ballistas and catapults in front of our spawn, God knows why.

They don’t even consider camping right in front of our spawn as spawn camping; oddly enough.

And, no, you can’t report childish people for acting childish.

Considering I was there around that time.
SoR set catapults outside the SE gate of Lowland keep.
Then Ballista’s around the bridge to it, to keep TC at bay.

As for “Spawn Camping” TC could have went out the NE exit of the spawn, came up from around Bravost, and circled back to destroy all siege in the SE, or went and destroyed the SoR attacking the Northern gate.

Then again spawns we all know must have only 1 exit.

LOL knight…

<3 Caedas!

I love playing with all of you. Especially in WvW!

What exactly is the point of worrying about your family? I’m affected by the hurricane and there isn’t crap I could do. You’re going to go on your porch and wave a shotgun threateningly until it just up and leaves?

OMG you have no clue how much that made me laugh just now. Maybe a blow torch would work better?
—————————————————————————————-

Though in reality most who live in coastal areas need something other then the hurricane to focus on during the oncoming storm. In truth, hearing about it every 10seconds gets a slight bit more then annoying, and all you want to know is:

Will it hit you
Is work/school closed
How bad it’s said to be
Do you have to evacuate

Landfall predictions suck, most city’s wont evacuate the entire city, some jobs dont close. (Believe me I was working at the ocean front when it passed by VA Beach VA.)

If you’re staying, you already normally have stocked up on food/water/battery’s/snacks. All that’s left is to sit inside waiting to see how bad it gets and if power will die.

So why not worry about something in game, while you are able to log in?…

Thanks for the update.
I like how you’re slowly increasing the time it takes to be able to change servers. Allowing some to find their new homes and others to know they wont be able to server hop for free, forever.

Hope y’all getting hit by it are ok.

In VAB we mainly got rain, winds and some flooding. I know it cut off the outerbanks NC and such by slicing through route 12. :x Some power outages, but to me I feel Sandy wasn’t too bad. (Kinda glad she didnt kill my power during the event :x)

Anet Im jumping in on this. Though this hurricane crap, I’ve been enjoying Halloween in GW2.
Love the decor, and everything. I can’t wait to see what/if Anet has anything planned for Christmas now.

Great puzzle, tried it, yeah not a good idea for me. Though the animation and concept is great.

You don’t really have to fight mobs in the higher level areas. If you are unsure of where to go, ask a friend to lead the way.

I liked the 1 time event cut scene.
It was nice, hit fraps so quickly for it so guildies who missed could watch. (As did a few others on ventrilo.)

Plus going into the instance, without knowing what to expect was amusing.

Here’s a Quote many might need to hear:
“You can’t always get what you want”

Is it bad that I hope SoR gains enough points in this match to pop into the tier 1 matches?

I came from a tier 1 matched server, to SoR, and honestly I myself would love to see how SoR handles with JQ/SBI. (Or Even IOJ)
Plus I wouldn’t mind SoR being paired against SoS again. That was a super fun match we had.

TC <3 yall and how you aren’t giving up. Maybe next time after ET drops a few more tiers we can have a 3 way match.

haha Peetee I have to agree..it’ll be locked before page 3…locked again, because people crying and bantering each other, rather then doing something productive and taking a video or just reporting to Anet so Anet can investigate.

Common sense isn’t so common.

As for the match. ET I don’t know where you all are, but come play, get off the PvE maps.

TC, <3 y’all. You’re fighting over and over, win or lose, and are sitll fighting back. I hope this continues and TC doesn’t give up. It’d make a super boring match. (Loved the stand off on SoR BL for like what 3-4 hours between northern and southern parts of the map.)

1 tip, if you want to take it or not, running in large groups is good, however if you dont have good communication or fast reactions, it can also be a downfall.

Also, hats off to whoever was part of the 3-5man thief group from TC snipping dolyaks. :P

Cheers to you too. Thanks for the competitive but honorable spirit.

You realize the only reason shes being “honorable” is because she doesn’t want to be bored. She really doesn’t mean any bit of what she said about TC shes just saying it hoping TC will keep playing WvW so she has something to kill. If TC and ET checked out it would be one hell of a boring week for SoR.

Just saying.

You should learn about someone before you speak.
I never said any of it because I don’t want to be bored.
Heck there’s a Halloween event I can do to avoid being bored. Also I go back into work Saturday night, and there’s a hurricane headed towards where I live.

Maybe I said it because TC is putting up a fight, and not giving up like so many servers do? Maybe I find that that’s a good quality for a server to have? Maybe you’re just jealous I do compliment the enemy?

I respect those who earn it. So far TC server is earning my respect.
I’ve never fought against them prior to this match, and I am finding it fun. I also see so far they haven’t given up, which is an attitude more servers need to have. (It’s also the same attitude SoR has, never give up, win or lose.)

haha Peetee I have to agree..it’ll be locked before page 3…locked again, because people crying and bantering each other, rather then doing something productive and taking a video or just reporting to Anet so Anet can investigate.

Each map has a cap of players allowed per server.
Hince why some servers might have a Queue, and others not in the same matches.

You do that, then realize the amount of communication required to effectively port in a large group of players. Or learn how easy it is to counter by spotting a portal and blowing it up with AOE’s so the enemy incoming ports into straight burst damage.

SoR didn’t get any influx of transfers that have made any difference in this match so far.
Currently you have multiple guilds who are WvW focused and some more WvW casual guilds on SoR who were waiting for reset.

We are communicating together and most of the guilds have at least 1 person in our Server TS to relay information back to their guild on whichever VOIP they use. (In the perspective TS map channels.)

We also have guilds who normally claim, relinquishing their claims to guilds running buffs right now in WvW as well as many other things.

So far SoR BL has been fun, TC is keeping us going non stop. <3

Wreave.2138:

I saw that too. A brief or occasional smile would be very cool. But being stuck this rictus grin is unpleasant.

I agree, but hey, at least they ninja patched the human one to actually show the eyes, instead of the eyes being in the back and all white where they were possessed looking.

I LOVE the decor in towns, and in WvW. Honestly I like it a bit more then I do the normal graphics in game for the areas.

I think Anet did a great job on it. Some things in certain areas could be better next event but hey, it’s only been out sinc eAugust, and they did a great job.

The Mists, and Lion’s Arch are honestly the best looking places in GW2 by far right now due to the event.

Honestly, everyone loves holiday skins, and looks.
Some use the Gem store, while others don’t.(And the ones who dont convert gold to gems.)

However here’s a few suggestions from the Halloween event I’ve read on the forums.
—————————————————————-

Making holiday themed skins, for armor.
Adding weapon skins and armor ones into the gem store, without it being a lottery.

For lottery items:
Stating the chances to win an item form the lottery.

I’ll possibly edit with more later as the event goes on.

I think Anet could avoid half the flaming if they put you have xx chance of getting xx item.

Kinda like lottery tickets are like.(Or the lottery in general.)
That way players cant complain about it as much.

As for the lottery system, most gave Anet the benifit of the doubt. (Compared to many Free to play, Cash shop pay to win games.) And after this event, those people may not ever spend their money on CS lotto items.

As with the real lottery you win and lose some. This game is no different.
Though I don’t agree with how low the chances are to getting the skins, there isn’t much which can be done about it. All Arena Net can do is read the threads and posts, take suggestions and move on for the next event.(Most likely Christmas.)

Hopefully they will take some good suggestion which have been posted in the forums about adding armor holiday skins, making skins not only town clothes, adding weapon skins into the shop, and taking out the lottery.

We don’t know if they will or not, but there’s always hope Anet might take suggestions.

Honestly, for those of you who deleted tonics, the new “lotto chests” are just as useless and low chance as the black lion chests. Just since they require “boosts” they have another CS item required in addition to the tonics.

So you really aren’t missing out on much. I opened apx 50 of the new chests and had worse luck then the black lion ones, I opened when the event started.

Anet, I hope in future events you add non lottery skins for Armor and Weapons which can be bought with gems.

Think you made enough threads?
Also, all servers have people who have been hacked and then the hacker sets the character to bot. Earning drops/money, followed by the hacker selling the stuff to a gold selling company, which then spams LA map chat trying to sell to players.

Not something that needs 3 threads or even more. Just go kill the bots. (Or tip off an enemy server through a WvW thread on the forums so they can kill them.)

Zonzai.2341:

Yeah, I kind of agree with the mad king costume being too powerful. It is pay to win a title. A title I will never have because I refuse to pay to win anything, ever. That’s why I liked GW1 so much.

Then jump up, go into the forge. Or better yet, find a cauldron a witch left, and get a free transform. OR you could use mystery tonics.

It’s not like Anet say’s “OH YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS” to take part, they give 3 options right now which are all Free for costumes to use.

A 4th Free option for participating is the food fighting table “mad king” costume can summon.

stuck @ 1650 deaths still...×.x

So you have me beat still.(which is scary to say the least)

The witch costume is cute. (Except the face when riding a broom.)
Males turn into a warlock with it.

The mad king one is nice.

Both can spawn a table/feast or cauldron which allows others to get costumes for a limited time to “brawl” in.

The witches drank some special brew, and ate some witchy food.

(Yes lame but the only way I can think they would have their facial expressions like that. Wish they didn’t it’d be much cuter without the “Im on something” looks.)

Kromickon.5471:

I dont know but i laughed when i saw this … shes like high kitten face on the broom

lol yeah. I think they need to fix human females faces while flying...×.x

I love the skins, but I dislike them only being town clothes. Then again who knows what it’ll be like int he future.

Try /dance *
It’ll sync the dancers. (Just count down till you all type it.)

We used it in our polar bear dance video my friend made.

Looks like breaktime is over, outter gate was breached in SH again.
Round 20 GO!!!

TheFug.5278:

Sorry someone on my team counted 15 pieces of seige, but then they also called a 30 man group a “70 man zerg” so I guess we shouldn’t trust them.

The real problem is that as we were attacking on the bridge there was 1 perma-stealthing thief that was just tearing us apart piece by piece.

I felt sorry for you guys because you have been under heavy seige for hours upon hours, that kitten has got to be taxing on the brain

Ahh
Yeah I ran around and couted the siege we have, it’s just we are spamming it+ tons of AOE’s. We ahve people scouting for mesmer portals, and most of us in the keep are on Team speak together, so communication is almost instant. Also we have people who are in the other borderlands in TS with us, and we keep them updated as well on status.

As for tiring:
More like Im tired and want to sleep but this is fun. Seriously good fighting right now.

Ok SoR BL has some nice fights, Great match so far everyone!

CD borderlands we are going on a fight over Hills keep against SoS and CD for about 6hours if not more now. Non stop…so many AOE’s…..wish I had time to go make breakfast.

@TheFug.5278, there is only 8 pieces of siege in lord room, and 3-4 go down each push SoS/CD does. (Which since it’s non stop, except maybe a 30second-1minute pause…)

We are using the choke point to advantage, we are outmanned, but we are holding it.
See a mesmer portal, call out on TS, see enemy siege, call out again, ect… Sweep for mesmers each time we push attackers out.

Bear Operation is a GO! Release the BEARS ON THEM!!!
(SoR for Knight.)

I like all the awesome fights there has been tonight on SOR BL and CD BL.

I used to see all Warriors, and Guardians.

Recently I’ve been seeing more mesmers (due to portals)
Thieves (due to stealth/invis)
Engineers, and rangers.

I have seen a slight increase on Elementalists, but mainly people playing them as alt’s.

Avalon.4809:

@fixit

I know one perfect place for my trebs. Even trebs from SM can’t hit it, and I destroy the wall of SM easily.

I’d like to know where you place the treb, and see how it stands to my inability to let enemy siege stand without killing it. (If talking about QL their mortars can kill it, DG/WC/ect… trebs can, and so on.)

>.> Believe me, I will find ways to destroy any siege someone places against my server. I don’t even mind breaking my gear to break their siege either.

Not to long:

You can see the mesmer with the blueprint @ 1:45, you can view how fast the ballista took to build, and start shooting. I think it took us a maximum total of 30seconds? (Incluing building the ballista)

There are players who have moved from BG to SoR this week with the intention of moving back to BG by end of the week. Thus the problems with queue times on SoR, and the blowout in score, especially in the last 24 hours.

Then I dont get why they moved to SoR to begin with. x.x

The issue isnt so much Dolyak health, as it is the thief’s skills he cast to kill it.

It’s the same skill set up that you can see 99% of the complaints about them being OP in damage using.

ISteveI.9732:

Would suggest:
1) Each server will only have 1 orbs. Those who have more than 1 need to return it back. Abit boring but will prevent orbs hacking or accusing each other.
2) 1 orbs at garrs. If u were to take opponent orbs… must take over garrs and do not remove the orbs. Once orbs are not at garrs, return back to the respective server.

Its just a temporarily solution till they fix it…
i would prefer 2) tho
Any other idea or comment?

All servers should be allowed up to 3, otherwise you void the point of defending an orb in borderlands.(Or taking one even.)

A better fix would be a keep lord has to be killed in order to take an orb. (Kinda like the NPC’s at the northern starting altar.)

I find it amusing a few are saying SoR hacked an orb, yet have no proof.
Also that it was stated CD had a guy who was the one who destroyed the altar, and the orb reset. (Now no one has any proof posted of any of it, so heck it could have been the quaagan camps even.)

A resetting orb means it resets to the northern part of the map.

So how is it SoR’s fault that a CD or quaagans destroyed an SoS orb altar?…
Why is SoS calling SoR hackers from that orb incident, when it didn’t involve SoR to begin with?

It’s almost as funny as the post saying SoR has bots running around capturing supply camps. Because we all know, no one uses any VOIP communication, nor do they run in groups to get supply camps back. (end of sarcasm.)

Not to mention once again no picture, no video for proof, just someone saying it.
Should we all go around calling hacks and bots falsely on each other?

@TurtleMuncher.9750

What HoD guild went to SoR? o.O

Galrukh.6532:

Katsumoto.9452:

Aye. People moaning about their towers getting hit by trebs are daft IMO. Build your own and hit it back? If you do it right they won’t see your treb.

Stonemist can hit those surrounding towers. But likewise ALL of those surrounding towers can hit stonemist. It makes the outer wall of SM very vulnerable. Honestly the only point of the SM assault that tends to be tough is the centre. The inner wall can be but you can hit it from so many places. I am of course assuming a none enormous zerg defence.

You cant counter treb a treb that is built on the balconies of SMC. If you are undermanned then you cant take SMC so whenever you take one of your keeps back, the wiining side will break down in the wall in 5 minutes and they run back and take it.

Why counter treb it?
I mean if you can use 10badges or silver, and 30 supply, why choose to use a treb to take it out and waste more money/badges/supply.

I mean so what if a treb can’t be trebbed back, use something like a ballista. (It’ll even shoot quicker, and if people come to attack you, you can shoot them too.)

Eugene.7358:

Topicstarter starter will not be a fashion designer =)

That’s kittening right!

Plus kittens and cats are fluffy, cute, yet have an evil side to them and can/will kill.

@AnthonyZdravko.2051

Unfortunately high population servers do suffer from it, just as low ones.

Mesmer bomb is ok.

However mesmers being able to glitch through walls and doors needs fixed. It’s allowing attackers to take keeps and towers without even breaking 1 wall or gate down.

Stonemist 3rd floor trebs cost 100 supply each. (24 silver or badges.)

Kill with a ballista which takes 30 supply.(10badges/silver.)

Not a hard or expensive way to kill enemy trebs. :x

Coldviper.6794:

All I can say, is if there is already a unified alliance that uses a voice chat that is available to everyone including pugs, I’ve never seen the info posted in map chat. There’s only the one that we’ve tried to get people to use, but they just say no or that they think it’s useless or the “I don’t have TS3” and for whatever reason downloading it is too much work.

To be unified you need everyone, and that includes pugs, because they’re willing and can be a huge asset if you just get them in a voice chat to listen. They don’t have to talk. Just listen.

And even if these commanders have their own voice chat, that’s where I’m trying to get to. We need unity. And if you have a random commander taking half the zerg because he refuses to use a open voice chat and work with everyone. That’s a part of it, that’s a huge blow to what we could be accomplishing.

Most commanders who do not use the TS generally do not have a large following of people due to it. Some however do normally use TS but will run into an issue which prevents them from using it for a bit (like computer being stupid) yet they continue to communicate and such with all. As for people who are not in guilds, or are new, they can’t be forced to work together no matter how much people try to get them to do it. (You have to hope for the best to be honest.)

True a server who does work together to raise in unity/strength is good.
Though there will always be someone who wont work with another.
Those tend to be the first to leave on a loss of a match.

I have yet to find 1 spot something can be placed which is unable to be destroyed.
(Some may be a lot harder to hit, and take a bit more thinking, however Ive never ran into being unable to hit siege either by using skills or other siege.)

Well SoR does have a server wide Team speak. Many members of the server, and many commanders do log into it, as well as their own VOIP programs.

Honestly I say remove all mobs from WvW altogether.

Bots of course sit farming Skritt, and krait all day.

Then you also have players who come into WvW and do nothing but kill mobs, and not PvP’ing, or helping their servers out.

+1 to removing mobs from all WvW maps.

Oh they do stand in the spawn zone, mostly grouped up right ontop the waypoint so it gets hard to report all of them.
http://youtu.be/pbK4ksrQne4
Quality sucks, but I didn’t care much today, not feeling well right now.

It annoyed me, because I couldn’t target all of them to report them, however what I fraps’d was a small time. The players had been there for hours on end, not moving other then to spam a skill to heal or buff.

Nice to see it wasn’t only SoR that got hit yet again with the /afk bots.
