water battles are three dimensional in a way battles on the surface of the land can’t match. Air would be the same way, I think. Much more three dimensional.
For the Toast!
for us it depends on the commanders. You can’t hold a tower or camp if the zerg will not support it. Some commanders do sometimes, some almost never do.
For the Toast!
air combat too : )
For the Toast!
we will get ugly weapon skins and junk minis. We might get an interesting spin-off recipe.
Maybe a set of flappy wings or other big stupid back item.
The main take away for my server will be what we learn about organizing as a team.
For the Toast!
sounds pretty good!

oh : ) thanks for the response!

Personally, I have had a blast beating on you guys with trebs from my favorite tower, Langor, See you there.
For the Toast!
Yeah, we see you as kind of mechanical sometimes, but it has been a fun week. Working with JQ has improved us. We have had fun. : )
For the Toast!
I love them but my guild is too small. I never get to do dungeons or fractals with anyone but a pug group. snif
For the Toast!
what’s up here? You are already stacked to the gills, aren’t you? You might have trouble with all this recruiting losers with no loyalty.
Anyway… crash if you want to, crash around the worlds…

hmm.

well I like that the worst of us think eles have some use. My WvW ele is way way pumped to stay the kitten out of the line of fire while staying on the commander and HEALING.
For the Toast!
we do wake up in the middle of the night, too, with a desire to bite.
For the Toast!
It depends for me. There are some people that like to let SM upgrade to have a waypoint for easier karma training while others like to let it flip. I usually keep SM so that my name or reputation doesn’t go to crap but people are pretty forgiving/forgetful so its no big deal.
Hello, btw. You guys aren’t really cyborgs, are you? We in TC talk about how you seem to be machines that never sleep. We are way emotional and hard to herd over here, kindof like cats. We sleep a lot, you probably noticed.
For the Toast!
it’s great to have a waypoint in SM. But try getting your own keep sieged up first. That is hard enough with the attitude of a lot of commanders who couldn’t care less about supply camps until they want to build rams or golems way off in the distance.
If you don’t have the support of the zerg, your castle/keep/tower/camp is going to fall. May as well enjoy it.
For the Toast!
extra bonus, you get to fight over the towers that can treb it or choke of its supply, whee!
For the Toast!
Seems to work to defend SM if you get a lot of time to upgrade it, but otherwise, just smak it around. It is a fun place to fight.
For the Toast!
I would say the best commanders understand how much power they really have in outcomes of the matches. I think some of the newer and less experienced commanders don’t realize they are make or break.
Also winning isn’t just a matter of a numerical score that measures number of players on the maps more than anything. Everyone can tell when they are winning battles that may not change the artificial score that much. It feels great to win.
For the Toast!
There are strategies that take advantage of having a weaker opponent on the map we have not seen used much yet, but we might. It’s not cheating to leave the weaker players on the map as bait.
For the Toast!
Flipping SM back and forth is fun. SM is a major headache to maintain sometimes. It takes a lot of time and gold. I can see putting resources into something else and just using SM as a game ball to kick back and forth for goals.
For the Toast!
We are starting to see a strategy of leaving the lowest powered server alone as a distraction for the higher powered opponent.
For the Toast!
Thanks for the advice, Anierna. I will use the acended staff I have for now. I need the toughness and vitality at this stage anyway, and trying to use condition damage on a staff effectively should be good practice.
For the Toast!
I have wondered why so many recommended ele builds avoid points in fire traits. Good to see someone else using some fire. Fire has worked for me bringing my 3 eles thru their stories and map completion, but leaving fire traits out of the build has not worked very well. I am used to lava font and use conjured weapons only as firey gs in WvW.
This dungeon ele has a focus on condition damage and toughness because of her staff, but I could rebalance the rest of her gear. For example, I have heard eles can have a major impact on healing allies especially in WvW but I don’t know how much that would apply in dungeons.
For the Toast!
I have a staff ele I would like to customize for dungeons and fractals. She will need to use a staff since her most powerful weapon is a Mathilde’s Spire (dire ascended). Any suggestions?
Thx

It’s fun to beat JQ/SoR/BG even if only in a few places for a little while.

Our server is developing a strategy for commanding two zergs that looks promising. The main guild runs a tagless zerg that you can only find if you are in Mumble in the correct channel. Then there is a pick up zerg with a tagged commander usually in training. The two groups coordinate in Team and Map chat.
For the Toast!
The wins are still pretty sweet when you are outnumbered. When you think there is not a chance you will pull it off but you do actually pull it together, that feels pretty good.
For the Toast!
I’m sure ANet would not permit it on their forums, but it would be good to have a rating site for commanders where we can talk about them by name.
There are distinct styles with some commanders I think are outstanding, some ok, and some awful. It would be good to talk about them and get feedback on their strategies.
For the Toast!
WvW is full of rangers. I see quite a few mesmers, too.
WvW is also full of PvErs.
There are tons of pets all over the place in fights with tier 1 servers.
For the Toast!
I have only seen one ele commander in TC; no ranger commanders, at least none with pets; don’t think I have seen a thief commander. I think I have seen engi commanders. By far the majority are heavy armor. Makes sense since the commander needs to not die, but there are some mesmers commanding on TC.
For the Toast!
Troll with a lot of cash, I guess
For the Toast!
Interesting answers. WvW is full of rangers. I see quite a few mesmers, too. We have some prominent commanders in TC who are mesmers. And thieves are a major pain in the kitten. I don’t understand how those guys trashing the other guys’ supply over and over and over isn’t useful.

the jumping puzzle mess annoys me. why should we have to do three stupid jumping puzzles to prove our WvW ability?
For the Toast!
More than a minor annoyance. Gaa got into a full on zerg fight in the middle of hostile Ogres and a bunch of those toxic things today, it really sucked. Way too many particle effects.

Spy with some money if he is buying that many blueprints to waste.
I cringe every time I place a treb blueprint, worried about the cost and whether I will be able to run enough supply to finish it, whether people will remember to tick it. Sitting here in the queue worried about a treb right now.
For the Toast!
Also a staff ele. I enjoy playing support and defense in WvW. Since most people don’t seem to like support roles, I feel like I can contribute something unique to the team as an ele. I can bring patience, healing, a bit of humility and a lot of defensive siege.
For the Toast!
There are many funny and smart people on my server I have begun to recognize in WvW and PvE. I care about them and enjoy playing the game with them. Wanting to be there for people I like, not wanting to let them down, is a strong motivation in my game play.

also, until this is fixed, tick the frappin siege when you run thru a keep or tower. Thanks.

also, who wants to work with a guild that can be bought. They will turn on you as fast as they turned on their other server.

the word for it would probably turn into kitten something.

We just posted this:

Keep in mind that we can still change/tweak some of these things, so please don’t freak out. We’d love to hear your feedback! We’re currently playing with these changes and already making some small tweaks as we speak.
Hope it doesn’t make that much of a difference. : )

TC has a couple of very good commanders who are on SEA time too. 4am my time is actually one of my favorite times to play because I like the commanders.
For the Toast!
QL! amazing. I would never have guessed people liked that tower.
For the Toast!
tick yer own golem before it times out, if it means that much to you. Good luck with that.
For the Toast!
Durios is fun. Yikes.
For the Toast!
I have to see this. QL seems to be one of the hardest towers to defend.
For the Toast!
almost no one walks yaks. almost no one ticks siege. It isnt that hard to avoid ticking the garbage siege. I never tick golems, for example. Golems are pretty much all troll siege as far as I am concerned.
