I always knew SOR ran a 70 man zerg… they said I was crazy! They said it didn’t exist!!!!
But I believed! I knew!!!
They zergball more than any server ever. Every player on each of their maps is in the same spot.
Since it won’t be fixed any time soon, improve the game experience for your fellow players.
Turn that crap off.
Need an option to disable pet nameplates.
WHY?! We came to wvw to fight players not mobs! Go back to pve! You’re probably hoping if this happens mobs drop badges for easy and cheap gear, we the hardcore wvw players have been saving up badges and then one of the pve players comes asking for mobs that drops badges as is intended in wvw I say no…
There is no need to be so defensive. I mean the mobs to be an inconvenience, not to be a viable way of gaining any level of wealth. But I also respect you’re opinion as the answer “no” tells me you think it would be out of place in WvW.
I get why you would think it would be cool. A game with massive wars with thousands of NPCs would be awesome, but not in this one.
Its already bad enough that people waste queue slots on the jumping puzzles.
No. There is already too much PVE in WvW.
Scouts and anything else that gives no reward. Sitting on a wall keeping watch and escorting dolyaks is boring and gives almost nothing.
Anyone that does those things is doing a great service to their team.
Thanks that is exactly what i was looking for
Tons of things. You can see old remnants of Ascalon. Temple of ages statues. all kinds of places. Do the Ascalon Catacombs Story mission. swim in the waters in LA
as for unchanged? not sure
Yeah that is all changed.
Even the droks run is so much different now.
I have been playing this game off and on since launch and it just occurred to me that i haven’t seen anything really recognizable from GW1. Like landmarks or missions etc. I know a lot of time has passed since the first game. I was comparing the maps from the two games and they are pretty similar.
Has anyone noticed anything worth checking out? There has to be some unchanged landmark or something.
Its pretty worthless when facing a condition class. Or multiple.
It’s use is not really against condition classes though.
It’s to survive the first few seconds of a huge clash or, if dealing with a group with multiple enemies, it can even be used to mitigate the auto attacks which actually add up quickly if you dive in first.Adding condition resistance into Endure Pain would make it so OP
Not that I would mind…
Im pretty sure some of the other classes invulnerability skills block condition damage.

It never ceases to amaze me how many players JQ can field on all maps.
SF ruining an epic open field battle with siege weapons.
Weak
Does anyone on JQ play for the fights? Or just to win? Serious question.
I feel the same on Blackgate sometimes.
“Where is the enemy group”<—— Random commander
Random commander runs the opposite way to take an empty tower. Boring.
Murderin, I have to say I disagree with your assessment.
I find it quite easy and effective to charge into a Zerg first with charge or savage leap, and then pop out my hammer and do some CC, fear me, and cause havoc amongst the enemy ranks. Combined with endure pain and shield block, you can negate a lot of the heat other squishier players may take, particularly if you get in early enough (but not too early
Try solo charging a zerg in T1
But conditions like cripple and frozen being spammed on you will quickly make you a worthless waste of server space. Too many utilities are needed to survive in large fights to bring enough condition removal.
Warhorn with Quick Breathing and shouts with Soldier runes.
Support builds are boring to play.
We group kicked a guy, and he was still in the dungeon outside of our group. We couldn’t get a 5th player inside.
Pretty lame.
This game has the most unresponsive combat system ever created. If you are used to spamming buttons as fast as possible to maximize damage you will constantly screw something up.
I think its just random. Sometimes i go days without getting one.
The other day i made a new character, and got 4 dyes before level 5.
Suck? No.

Once you limp your way into the enemy group you will only have a few short seconds to do damage before you have to back out and recharge due to reliance on things like Endure Pain. Unless you quickly wipe the enemy out, or they start running away. Or they just don’t target you. Sometimes you get lucky.
If you can manage to flank or get into the backline of squishy targets you can be pretty effective. Unfortunately you need a good group or guild to do this with, as charging in solo just makes you look like a moron. Then you normally die without support.
My best advice is never be the first one to charge in, as you need to avoid being crippled as long as possible to do any damage. Most of our gap closing abilities have greatly reduced range while slowed.
Warriors are just as squishy as any other class once their survivability cooldowns are gone. Just takes practice to know when to get in and out.

People actually buy these? lol
what happened to BG BL? can’t log in there
Im having the same problem.
Male Charr is awesome. Great voice acting too.
I run Axe/Shield in fractal, full berserker with a knights amulet and 90+ toughness with a shield trait. Works very well imo, but I carry a rifle in the bag for bosses that is best fought at a distance, for example boss on dredge fractal, and the shaman boss.
Alright thanks. I was thinking about replacing my shield/warhorn switch anyway. Hopefully i don’t have too much toughness, i hate getting aggro on everything.

Any opinions on this? It is the weapon set i prefer using. Mostly zerker gear with a few pieces of knights.
As far as I know, it’s never been possible to level with hearts alone. You need to do dynamic events to level, not hearts. Event chains are by far the fastest way to level next to crafting.
If you’re doing events and hearts, you should stay around the right level. Maybe last time you were luckier about running into events than this time which would explain the difference.
Don’t forget to gather too, that’s a big help.
Yeah i have seen like 2 events so far. Still feels like something has changed.
No difference in experience from either events or hearts. Those have been the same since launch.
Have event spawns been lowered or changed?

10 vs 10 (golems) with Awe was awesome. I like this guild, wish we had them on Mag.
Video of the event: http://youtu.be/Fhs3GlNuYAE
That was pretty awesome.
I feel bad for Awe, carrying the entire server on their back.
With that attitude i’m glad to see you transferred.
Commander fairweather reporting for duty^
Its been a while since i leveled a new character. Started a Charr in Plains of Ashford and i have been struggling to stay less than 2 levels behind everything. I even crafted a full level of experience.
Last time i leveled it was possible to at least stay even with the hearts.
I feel bad for Awe, carrying the entire server on their back.
It’s fine if that is what you believe. Ignorance is bliss after all.
Name another guild that regularly takes T3 keeps and SMC without overwhelming numbers.
The only one i can think of is ESF, and they don’t seem to be as active.
and round 2… lets see if we can put siege up faster than he can
Has anyone reported him? That is pretty lame.

Huh, did you have a guild that left with you, or was it just you?
Nope, just me and my GF
Good luck to everyone, try to keep the whining to a minimum.

Already transferred to Blackgate. Thanks for the info in this thread.
Its like a whole different game mode in T1.
Ever since you posted this its been happening more and more. Pretty lame.
Alright thanks. That seems obvious now. Citadel of FLAME.
Oops, my bad, didn’t notice the typo.
Neither did I haha. I was just trying to accentuate the flame part of a place with fire armor.
You can buy the Invaders gear, but its garbage for most builds.
For some reason there is hardly anything useful to buy with badges. I have like 1200 wasting space in my bank.
Alright thanks. That seems obvious now. Citadel of FLAME.
Is it available in PvE? I don’t do much of that.
Also the fiery duelist pauldrons, do they have a PvE equivalent?
Will the SBI on EB please wipe our zergs so they leave, there are too many fairweathers and the queue is getting unbearable…
What is queue? Never heard of that.
“Are there any even tiers?”
Yes T2,4,6,8 Are all even tiers. Where T1,3,5,7 are odd.
Funny. Already used on page 1 though.
Transferring is no small matter.
Yeah i really don’t want to make the wrong choice and end up on a server that can’t field any players during my normal play time.
Thanks for your posts, they definitely help.
Whats your prime playtime?
Any time between now and 12 hours from now depending on the day.
So mostly NA evening/night.
Your golem crew was pretty impressive. I was AFKing at the water gate in our borderlands while browsing forums. I brought it up to see a portal going up.
Called it out in team chat and you guys were through 2 gates and out before anyone even got there. I got some good licks in with the cannons though :P
Then our commander threw a tantrum and rage quit.
Something tells me you will not be receiving a raise and a promotion.
Oh no!

TC a good bunch. Or visit GuardianOMS… Mags always ‘wants’ transfers. (sorry had to based on old thread thinking of transferring don’t come to mags)
Haha. Mag spends a little too much time bullying smaller servers for my liking. Winning easily is just as boring as a server making no effort to win.
says Sargent Killjoy aka Trolljoy from Magruber……….. ….. … .
He has had some solid advice for me both here and in our WvW thread. Nothing wrong with a little trolling sometimes.
Im torn between TC and Blackgate.
Talk to Maguuma if you want more info on zerging. They despise small group activities and only zerg.
Can you stop (trying to) import drama? We are having a serious discussion about the possibility of yet another player moving to TC.
Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not (its hard to tell with you) but TC is certainly persuasive.
Have a lot of people transferred to TC or something?
