Rough Trade [RTGC]
Crystal Desert
What about if the guild leader doesn’t want the hat but rather have one or more officers have it? Also, a guild can have more than one blue dorito. This is a “solution” for a problem that don’t exists.
This was an overly stupid thing to do, but, can’t you use your “free” account restore?
I gave it to my warrior and sometimes I regret it, a commander above all things, needs mobility, so a Thief or an Ele would be the perfect commander. However, as a warrior I can out-survive any thief or ele so I’m on the fence.
They are not dead, they are downed. Huge difference.
How about a system that once you die it kicks the person out of WvW? Or better yet! It restarts the client! Would that be more acceptable for you?
These QQ threads are what’s really starting to annoy me.
Hi guys,
this Sunday Morning I was at TP buying some stuff and then in general chat I saw a message that the people in WvWvW calling for help because our ‘sss is kicked’….
I sPvP/tPvPed a lot in GW2 but while my Staff Ele was only lvl 33, I tought i was not ready and I never tried the WvWvW……well I said whatever I will try to give a hand, may be I can do something usefull with my Staff Ele…..
I got the best gear for my lvl, lvl 33 Masterworks, with Toughness/Vitality for armors, Power Healing for the Staff and Power/Crit Damage for Trinkets……
Now finally we are at the keep and the Zerg is there and I go to the wall and drop Meteor Shower and guess what I got a wooping 300 normal hits and 600 crit hits with my MS…..and this is with best available gear for ele in lvl 33….
Then I check the stat sheet to see how the game upscaled me, I see that I got 2000 attack, from my PVP experience, I know that is not crazy number but hitting with 300 damage per strike with MS!!!!!!
Is this normal or the upscaling messes with me? Or a better question does it make any sense to join WvWvW under Lvl 80 char?
Thx for the answers…
Not sure about the stats as I never paid any attention, however it’s perfectly fine to enter WvW with low level characters. In fact I leveled my Warrior from 1 all the way to 80 exclusively with WvW. It was painful at first, but at the time there was a lot of zerging on CD so it was relatively easy to hide inside the mass of people and collect karma/experience. It’s a nice and fast way to level up, given that the zerg keeps capping towers and camps
Oh by all means, let’s change one of the MAIN core mechanics of the game just because some noob can’t properly kill someone, or keep him from reviving. If you want solo combat go to sPVP, WvW is a large scale combat area, if you don’t like that, then leave.
Shouldn’t had moved to a big server if you wanted to avoid queues. There are no queues at all on CD.
Sooooooooo, dailies are FORCING you to play in a certain way until you do them and otherwise you cannot play?
If it bothers you then ignore them, if you CHOOSE to do them, then stop complaining.
see once again its lucky you dont work for anet , cos with that attitude you would get fired pretty quick. You dont add stuff thats meant to be fun and find that lots of folk dont find it fun and go " meh they can always buy another game"
even most of the folk who chime up defending it arnt saying “its fun i enjoy them” they are saying " its easy so i deal with it" EASY but NOT FUN see the problem?
I’m not saying its hard i,m saying its a failure if folk dont find it fun .. period.
Fun is a very subjective thing, what some people find fun, others might hate. If you hate something, then stop doing it, is not that hard. Anet keeps metrics of everything in the game so I’m sure that if enough people stop doing dailies they will modify them again.
And forums are not an accurate measurement of how a particular feature is working because usually only a vocal minority posts, the rest are most probably enjoying the game and not bothering with it.
Go farm CoF like everybody else and you can pretty much get that gold to buy gems in less than a day. They gave you a month to move, missed the window, though luck.
Sooooooooo, dailies are FORCING you to play in a certain way until you do them and otherwise you cannot play?
If it bothers you then ignore them, if you CHOOSE to do them, then stop complaining.
Someone enlighten me why this is still 100 gold and not 10.000 badges of honor for example. (or anything earned through WvW)
Because that’s the way Anet want it’s to be, otherwise it would be different. Also being a commander is not an exclusive thing for WvW, it is overly useful outside of it too.
Funny, I have no queues what so ever on Crystal Desert…, we used to have a tiny queue, but nothing anymore. Seems better this way
“Do you still feel server pride?”
Never had, never will, even tho I have been on CD since the pre-launch, but the only reason I’ve been here is my guild. Don’t really care about virtual e-kitten pride.
Why stop at it, get rid of Trebs, they are boring! Get rid of catapults too! Hell! Get rid of Dolyaks and have the supply to spawn at towers every 30 seconds so we dont have to wait to upgrade something! OH WAIT! GET RID OF UPGRADES! Make everything instantly upgrade!
If you got a bunch of guilds from CD, good luck getting commanders to communicate, they pretty much do their own thing.
Tell the commander to roll an ele and do it himself. Lead by example, right?
If it bothers you so much stop doing it. In the same vein, why not nerf Trebs? I mean, poor guys have to sit there for hours on and end for nothing because an Ele is using swirling winds, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ANET NERF TREBS!!!
Hi All
Hugable Guild Leader of EsF (SG guild GMT+8)
Once more, CD has experienced it worse exodus of guids since the launch of the games.
We have lost the following guild LW, KH, LaZy, RISE,, GoF, KO, TG (NA side) and Val, Edmw (Oceanic side) to xfer as such WvW coverage has been significantly reduce allowing Kaineng to turn most of the WvW map blue. It is demoralising in a way, but EsF will still continue to field our numbers during formal wvw days.To all our fellow ex comrade in arms, I salute you for without you guys wvw would not have been successful in all our past tier matchup. To all servers who have recruit them you have definitely an advantage.
So in the spirit of wvw, We EsF will continue to fight on. Win or loss let have fun in wvw
Glad to know you guys are staying!
WvW should be interesting these next couple weeks and months. I’m actually looking forward the challenge of rebuilding almost from scratch!
Is it that hard to /ignore people and just keep doing your business? Seems fairly easy for me
You guys worry too much about something that doesn’t matter. Everyone is replaceable, more guilds will step up and take your place/fill in the gaps. CD is a big server with plenty of people willing to contribute.
I always found server hopping to be funny, even more so now. Is not like you get anything for “winning”. Seems like these past week has been full of drama on Crystal Desert, good thing I decided to farm Arah tokens! But Ill be back to WvW next week and I’m sure all will be fine, just as always.
Ugh, we are up with these two servers again, time for a break from WvW. :/
Oh I also believe that we are doing great, and that is mostly in part because players know what to do and communicate effectively. I’m having lots of fun and that’s all that matters, at least to me.
The best thing I’ve seen so far was the truce with FA on the JP, I I got kinda sad when they killed me today when I tried to enter, lol.
Flipping SMC a couple times and holding it for several hours was fun, however most of NA either abandoned ship or decided not to play this weekend, which is funny considering that most people were claiming last week that we were ready to fight TC again, we’re not.
I had the unmanned boon for most of the day, that’s something I haven’t seen in weeks. But all in all, it was fun!
are we all fighting again next week ?
Nope.
Tarnished Coast
Crystal Desert
Fort Aspenwood
Should be fun, lots of badges and lots of dying!
However, considering we don’t have enough people to hold the three borderlands plus EB we might go down one tier again the week after. But I don’t care about that so it should be fun regardless!
This fight for SMC is intense! Give us a break to breathe!
LOL!
So much promise, and gold, to die so fast!
Gotta give it to Mag, they owned us bad! But it was fun as hell! Thank you whoever donated all those golems!
I’m happy to admit that CD has issues… but this idea that we’re a skilless mass of zerglings is nonsense.
Amen!
Most people I see (when I play, mostly at US central night) are traitted to fight in groups, not 1v1. Another impressive thing that I’ve seen in the past couple weeks is that we have commanderless zergs that know what to do and communicate properly.
CD has flaws, yes, but it has plenty of skillful communicative, and competent players. Like all servers, I assume.
This would be amazing as I normally try to complete the daily with just WvW (but usually fall short on the creatures to kill so I’m forced to go elsewhere). However, this might prove problematic for servers that took over everything on all borderlands/EB.
With WvW obviously taking a back seat to most of the rest of the game with the player migration between servers and to other games do you still care if your server wins?
Do you still have server pride?
I love logging into wvw, and just running around with a group murdering all the things, taking whatever targets of opportunity present themselves, camping the jumping puzzles, or just generally playing for personal fun, rather than server victory.
Do you still care if your server wins? Why or why not?
Never had and never will, I love WvW and I’ve been on CD since the pre-launch but I just don’t care about being loyal to a server, or whatever.
However I’m proud of my guild and what we stand for, and my characters and their accomplishments.
Winning is as boring as being steamrolled.
Hasn’t been boring the last two weeks. Maybe we have more players at certain times, but Maguma and Ebay are strong servers and fun to fight against.
Last week was amazing! But maybe it was because yesterday was Sunday (which doesn’t makes any sense) , it seems Mag and EBay just gave up. And I wouldn’t blame them with the rampant spawn killing that was happening yesterday. I guess this week will just be jumping puzzle for me until the reset.
Winning is as boring as being steamrolled. I rather have some healthy competition. I wish the “undermanned” boon gave something more than extra experience/karma, something like cheap siege or extra damage, the gates get automatically reinforced until more people come in. But I can see how either of that things can be exploited.
eventually you’ll grow up and learn that.
Just transfer already.
Reposting this cause I feel like
I do most of my WvW when its needed, and that’s when we are losing, for example when we are against TC, Darkhaven, Yak or any of the other huge servers, you know, when most people like you give up and transfer servers because they can’ t bare lo lose.
I’ m pretty sure most of you, that think are the most loyal players ever, will jump ship once TC starts kicking kitten.
Another baseless allegation, especially towards the existing loyal CD players. we give up and transfer servers? We have been through worst situation and yet we are still here at CD. I got the feeling that you transfered here from other world instead?
Funny. The last two times we fought TC there was barely a 15 man zerg at US primetime. But sure, I guess if you moved here recently you wouldn’t know about that.
Hey surprise! I am actually Oceanic player, so yeah i wouldnt know how sorry our zergs are under your command. So which world did you transfer from again?
Non, I’ve been here since the pre-launch, but you are most welcome to believe otherwise.
real talk… did everyone leave ehmry bay? theres noone on… ever. what happened? this whole server transfer crap is beyond stupid at this point.
I think they are fighting on their borderlands, so is Maguuma, I guess they gave up on EB. This week should be boring, so I guess is fractal/farming time!
F12 → change character should be more efficient than alt-f4…., but both are completely dumb. But I don’t think there’s anything Anet can do about it, whoever is willing to go through something so tedious to avoid a kill could also just exit through the task manager.
Also I think Alt-F4 is a Windows command so the game might not be able to bypass it.

Zheen, you realize that you are absolutely a terrible commander right?
Absolutely terrible. One of the worst I have ever seen.
Do not come on this forum and act like you are relevant or that you have any idea what is really going on.
LOL!!!
You’re entitled to your opinion, and several people said the contrary so meh. My first priority is to have fun and plenty of people agree with me (and follow me whenever im commanding), the rest is irrelevant.
I’ve never even seen you before. … but coming here to trash talk your own server in more than one thread, kinda tells me all I need to know.
I’ve never seen you before either, but that hardly means anything.
So again, being honest is talking trash? We have some very amazing commanders, like Titan War, Hammie, Jack Daskshade, BIBO,
Ahhh but you didn’t say THAT did you? You said, don’t come to CD, their commanders suck. Now you’re admitting that we do have good commanders after all. So you weren’t being honest, just taking the wost possible stance in order to make us look bad, so other guilds won’t join.
That is trash talk. Not honesty.
What matters is what I said last, but you can look it any way you want, it hardly makes any difference to me.
And how do you even know what the new commanders are doing? You’re in the fractals!
Because I like to enjoy the game?
You should look up time management.
No, because you abandoned WvW to do fractals when we needed people the most, and then took that time to come in here and bad mouth the people still in WvW while you farmed karma in PvE.
Thanks for nothing.
You’re welcome? I do enough WvW to satisfy myself, and I also enjoy during other things the game has to offer, cause, you know, is all about having fun and stuff. eventually you’ll grow up and learn that.
Also, I do most of my WvW when its needed, and that’s when we are losing, for example when we are against TC, Darkhaven, Yak or any of the other huge servers, you know, when most people like you give up and transfer servers because they can’ t bare lo lose.

Seriously.
That is your list of amazing commanders?
Get outta here, son.
There are a couple others. “son”, but those are the ones I see the most. I would love to play 24 hours a day, but you know “son”, I do have a life.
Last time I commanded was like two weeks ago, doesn’t really do it that much anymore as I’m farming karma/fractals with my other toons. Siege is expensive, you know. :p
People like you are why we’ve dropped down a couple tiers.
Because I like to enjoy the game? I don’t care about tiers, all I care is having fun. This is a GAME not work. And believe me when I say that commanding is not easy at all(but it is fun, sometimes).
I have no type of loyalty to anything whatsoever (excluding my guild as I have plenty of people there I know in real life)
Exactly… so you’re not a good comander. Nice to have that established.
Being honest is hardly talking trash, unless you’re offended by the truth, and facts.
So going into other threads and telling people not to come to CD because our commanders are bad isn’t trash talking? If you don’t want to be here, just transfer. Don’t go around the forums putting other players down.
So again, being honest is talking trash? We have some very amazing commanders, like Titan War, Hammie, Jack Daskshade, BIBO, but these past two weeks we got an influx of new ones (maybe transfers) that have no idea of what they’re doing, he’ll, some of them don’t even put any siege down, ever. And just sit there in front of a gate watching how the Zerg hits a reinforced gate for half an hour.

I was on pretty much all the time over the past two days and I didn’t see him either. Maybe he’s talking about the new game, Forum Wars.

Agreed first and foremost. I don’t agree that that another player from CD should not bash on a commander from his server especially. If you dislike him just don’t follow him and ignore, don’t publicly bash him, it makes you look really bad. If people follow him they must either (a) be having fun, or (b) doing a good job.
U r 2 srs here. Commanders don’t earn this place on the field by experience. They just buy an icon. I don’t think anyone cares or looks down at another server that openly flogs a bad commander.
Yes they buy their icons, but people should know by know who is a good commander and who is bad. Choose accordingly unless he is your only commander in your server.
My argument good sir was don’t publicly attack someone, for (a) its against ToS, (b) its makes you look bad, © people judge commanders too harshly when all they want to do is enjoy a game. So maybe it’s you guys who are taking this game too seriously, Zheen obviously just wants to enjoy the game, if you aren’t enjoying this game for whatever reason I feel sorry for you.
You realize that just a few posts up Zheenn was calling other commanders “noob” commanders right.
You saw that right?
I mean, I can’t be the only one who saw that.
If zheenn just wanted to enjoy the game, then he would not have specifically come to this forum to do exactly what you are saying we shouldn’t be doing, which is calling out other people.
The hypocrisy on this forum makes me weep.
Read three posts above this one.

I agree to a point, if a commander is doing something questionable, like spawn killing, I will call it out and discourage it the best way I can. We are supposed to be better than that. If you are a commander and you’re going to spawn camp, at least take your icon off.
(By you I don’t mean you you, but in general :p)

I pray for Fort Aspenwood not getting bashed or called “mindless zergs” on this forum next week, IF they do move down to tier 4
Personally I have no beef with CD. They have a much bigger Oceanic presence than Maguuma + Ehmry combined. Good for them, though I’ll be happy to see the backside of them. Logging in every day to see the entire map owned by one team is never going to be very fun. I hope Fort Aspenwood is just more on our level in terms of nighttime presence.
You really can’t avoid the “mindless zerg” accusations when one team shows up with 50 players to the enemy’s 5. Even if they aren’t a mindless zerg, there’s no way to prove it!
Really I just wish Arenanet would lock down transfers so we could get more balanced fights. I imagine Crystal Desert probably was tier 4 material before they got an influx of players. Now they are at least tier 3 material but we’ve had to put up with the population imbalance for 2 weeks while the ranks adjust themselves.
Don’t let the current numbers fool you, CD is NOT T3 material. We’ve been in this same spot several times already, and whenever we climb one tier everyone realizes where we belong. To be on T3 is required to have presence on all 3 borderlands, plus on EB, currently we hold the CD borderlands, and EB but we fall short on the other two borderlands, and the reason for that is that we don’t have the population/interest to fight on the other borderlands (Frankly, I hate the level design of the borderlands and avoid them like the plague).
Last time we fought against Yak and TC they took advantage of this and even the CD borderlands was overrrun, mostly by TC, at that time we could only hold our own on EB (barely).
Most people that transferred here during these past two weeks are in for a shock if we move to T3. The meltdowns should be fun to watch.
Next week will be fun – Mag/Eb get to see how many people transfer off when FA stomps us during our prime time. Maybe enough to drop down to tier 5?!
That would actually be amazing, this server needs to trim the fat!
I don’t know if this is true but a CD player told me that CD was trying to shut us down and purposely focus us to lose to EB. That totally made me laugh, if it’s true then CD is intimidated as they should be. No offense to EB but it takes all of CD night crew to shut us down for us to lose to EB, i don’t know if EB is in the right tier. all of CD was in mag bl for 6hours late last night gaining very slow momentum when they had us outnumbered 2:1 if not 3:1 not leaving our bl once, til they hit an unpenetrable keep in the east. We all just got bored of defending at 8am and just left the keep in the morning and decided to karma train.
That requires organization and good synergy between players, CD doesn’t have that, so whoever told you that is lying.
