Guild Wars 2

If static discharge is nerfed it is ANET’s way of saying to engies: “you can’t has burst.”

Jinks.2057:

When you fight Ebay you fight on all fronts.

Not our fault you aren’t mentally prepared to fight on all fronts

Thank you for this.

Sincerely.

I needed a good laugh.

Bump… please patch this.

While pertinent to your trolling, this does not change the stupidity of your original statement.

Nor the margin by which you are losing.

I don’t think these posts mean what you think they mean.

Ahhh… the troll is strong in this one.

I don’t think you get it. We are embarrassed for you.

I’m embarrassed for him too. Is a TC guy really trying to troll about the total score against mags and sos? I mean that’s pathetic.

Lawl.

I don’t think the necro is even close to being OP. I also have a level 80 Thief, Warrior, and Engineer.

I for one am already looking forward to next week. I’d love to get another crack at one of the Tier 1 servers so that we can have some competition. The thing that I am most proud about TC is that we don’t quit and whine on the forums when we are outclassed by better servers. We just dust ourselves off, regroup, and get back out there.

I REALLY miss the days when there were three servers going at it all week long and the final score wasn’t decided until the last hours of the match. Since the new match-up system, with the exception of one week, TC has been paired with lesser competition that just can’t put up a fight, and it is killing many people’s motivation to play.

Please Arena net, give us JQ just to see how we do!!!!

Any official response to this?

Thank you all for proving my point. Enjoy the 200,000+ beating this week Maguuma.

I am losing about 230 power when I switch from rifle to a weapon kit.

Can someone please explain this to me?

Thanks.

GG Arenanet… you have officially FUBARed your game.

All I know is that my established guild (dates back to UO) with a significant wvw leadership role on a former tier 2 server is very rapidly losing interest in this game. The core leadership has purchased another sandbox full loot pvp game. We had less than 10 people in wvw last night, and most logged in less than an hour.

I fear that another week yielding a lopsided matchup where our server is regularly over 500 ppt, and has reached the 625 ppt mark will result in the rest of the guild leaving.

Not complaining, just stating facts.

635 ppt.

Seriously Arenanet… can we get balanced matchups again? This isn’t fun for anyone.

Dear Arenanet, this new matching system isn’t working.

610 PPT…

Never thought I would see that.

Which server is [FUN] on?

BTW with 25 stacks of +condition my bleed ticks for 125-130.

Thanks for your responses. I played the build for a while last night, and this morning.

It rocks for survivability, as you can escape almost anything thrown at you.

Needless to say, if you are fighting someone with a ton of condition removal you aren’t going to win quickly (or at all), but you won’t lose either if you play it smart.

I use my thief as a scout and a small group camp flipper. Build seems to work fine for that.

Thanks again.

I built a thief months back when there were d/d berserker thieves 3 shotting (Steal/C&D/BS) people all over wvw, because I wanted to learn the class.

I settled into a p/d 100% bleed duration stealthy survival build: http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=-c;4Rw-_06-VOVd0;9;6TOE;435A58-1;0U-F18;1k06_J9dZCsFm0-s1U;2P-U0Z1d2jZo4A5V0c0P-6Rk06R;9;9;9;9;9;4V6s5R

I haven’t played my thief in quite a while and I’m curious to know if the build is still viable or if time has passed it by.

Thanks in advance for your kind responses.

I would like to see damage increased on the auto attack. As it currently stands I never use it.

Thanks everyone for the responses.

I have been paralyzed to spend my laurels, because I like to mix and match my rings/ammy/trinkets/back with different gems.

I see how the numbers play out on the calculator, but unless I know how it actually plays I just don’t want to waste the laurels.

Such a tough decision.

ExquisitePriide.6302:

That awkward moment when your home citadel waypoint is contested…

Best post ever.

Curious to know if anyone has picked up the full set of ascended items that have the spread of stats?

Thanks in advance.

Its back up.
good job ANET!

Thanks, just making sure it isn’t a local issue.

Anyone else having an issue getting in game?

Regardless of the ultimate outcome of this week’s battle I’m proud to say I’m a member of the TC server.

Serious grit and determination was on display.

Congrats to everyone that fought hard to the very bitter end.

Also congrats to DB for a hard fought week as well as your grace in victory over the past two weeks.

Keep the updates coming for those of us stuck at the office!!!!

So great to see this match-up going down to the wire!!!

Lightsbane.9012:

Kain Francois.4328:

*increased turret damage by 10%

*Static Discharge now has a 10 second cooldown.

…i’m running out of builds to switch to.

No kidding.

If they nerf SD, I will officially be done with the engineer, and this game.

For kitten$ and giggles I started a necro over the weekend. Got it to 31. I still love my engineer the best.

Entioch.6594:

Post-patch WvW.

Perfection!

ParaldaWind.4523:

This and the new contesting system has me close to quitting the game, honestly.

I was both wiped by superior arrow carts tonight, and wiped others, and I never once had any fun doing it.

Stop encouraging us not to PvP, Anet.

EXACTLY.

Endorse this post.

Shadow Gathering.5649:

TC and FA need a divorce and a vacation. And its coming!

TC and FA have been pitted against one another 15 times by my count. Neither of us has ever faced any other server that many times. This takes a toll. Relations are strained to say the least, and it seems clear that we all want a long break apart.

But relief is on the horizon. All indications are that TC will break into T1 within about a month’s time. And they might stay up there.

I hope that by pointing this out some of the inter-server frustration will subside. We’ll be rid of one another soon. We’re not stuck together for all eternity. In the meantime, try to hold it together. Bury the hatchet if you can, and end on a civil note. We’re all just a bunch of gamers.

I can live with that.

Arkanfel.8403:

I’m one of the GMs of CO, and honestly the trolling doesn’t really bother me that much. I’ve played WvW for months and I’ve seen a ton of it in game and match threads alike. There was indeed some trash talking in LA, but I probably wouldn’t have even mentioned it had I been the only person in the guild to read it.

I can’t speak for everyone, but for my part I want out because there is no cohesion or strategic execution. I often have to command when I don’t want to, for longer hours than I would otherwise like because no one else will tag up or because our only other NA guild on in force is busy fighting on another map. It’s also discouraging to know that literally everything we capture as a guild will be gone within 30 minutes of us logging out. The coverage just isn’t good enough to hold territory anymore; weeks of losing our entire home BL every day is starting to take its toll. We can only mount sporadic offensives on FA or (rarely) TC BL anymore. EB is still fun, I guess, but we want more options and a less stressful role in server strategy.

Sorry to hear this.

Burnout and frustration happens, especially on the command level. People have no idea how much is required of all of our commanders. Second job doesn’t begin to describe it.

…and no sarcasm here.

CHIPS.6018:

Forget servers. Forget guilds. Unless some quick improvements are made within 2 months, I think this game is about to fail as a whole. When veteran guilds like WM have problems holding itself together, you know something is terribly wrong with the game.

I couldn’t disagree more.

Since the culling fix the game has been even more fun for most that I speak to on TC.

That said, I think they really need to implement another map (or two or three). I would love to see a new Green, Blue, and Red Map, and then keep EB and the classic as a stand alone, and allow you to siege the citadel as a second castle fight. (Haven’t thought this part completely through).

At least to me there is no other game on the market that delivers a large scale siege mechanic that is anywhere near as polished as this game. So where you gonna go? There is a recent release of a full loot sequel that is embarrassingly bad. Pandas? No thank you.

I’m good right here. Still loving GW2, and can see myself playing in one form or another for at least the rest of this year (and beyond).

Shadowbane will always be my favorite MMO.

There was nothing more satisfying than getting annoyed by someone’s forumwarrioring while you were at work not working, only to go home and drop a bane that resulted in an epic server war involving 100s of players, resulting in multiple fortress cities being razed to the ground.

OutspokenAardvark.9781:

Score update please?

Good call.

Anyone have a score update for those at work not working?

Niim.9260:

What was your first game? I remember a post apocalyptic, turn based game I used to play by telnet to a BBS service, as internet was not available yet. I played some mud’s in the late 80’s, but by BBS it was too expensive/limited, so just dabbled. The first internet based MMO I played a lot was ElendorMUSH which I joined in 1991. I believe it is still in operation.

First video game: Pong.

First RPG: Ultima, played through the entire series (I II III IV V VI VII VII part 2 VIII IX)

First internet based MUD: Genocide

First MMO: UO.

Gturtle.2864:

I don’t think the average FA player much cares if our opposition respects us.

This has been made abundantly clear over the last month.

There have been many that have and continue to act like a petulant child, and many of us on TC have turned the other cheek ignoring the insults, and backhanded compliments, but there came a point, a least for me, where I no longer felt the need to stay silent.

Many of the people I play with on TC are now into our third decade of gaming in the MMO genre. We’ve played full loot, asset destruction games where a forum war had direct and immediate in-game consequences. And most relevantly we’ve played the game of forum-war, over and over and over again.

Point being, TC is in game winning the WvW war. See Scoreboard.

If you really want to have a forum war, I’m game too.

It just killed four hours of this work day, and I couldn’t be happier about it.

Rawr.5930:

The score is what it is, nobody wears gloating well.

Actually, gloating is what’s in these days.

It’s the new black.

…and is VERY slimming.

Jayne.9251:

Mr. Silver. I mean this with love. But please go outside and get some fresh air.

No can do me amigo.

At the office procrastinating.

Issues.5789:

Hi guy I’m new to the game and was wondering if TC could give me some pointers on how to zerg. Sometimes I don’t know where to follow the big blue dot and it gets my brain all confused and then I have to take advil and man that’s a drag! So I was wondering when I’m in a zerg how can I make it so that I press the auto attack very fast so I can dominate everyone??

Ohh how clever and original.

I see what you did there.

Odaman.8359:

MrSilver.5269:

Thank you for proving my point.

Your only point is your server doesn’t chest thump which was proven wrong long ago. I would be curious to hear the tc voip though… do you congratulate each other on a successful “retreat”?

Why YES, we DO.

The first thing we do is put on Kool and the Gang’s “Celebration.”

After waypointing we wear town cloths and have a dance party with trays of cookies and cake. I like to hand out punch.

And then we all compliment each other on how good we look wearing Green.

Green is lovely in the spring.
