Guild Wars 2

Q: how come I can upgrade an EB tower to t3 with full supply and hold it against two tier 1 servers for 12 straight daylight hours almost completely by myself? How much coverage does anybody really need?

Ostra, what do you mean by stacking?

I’m pretty sure TC can beat JQ and SoR whether they outnumber us or not.

If it turns out we have no competition during the tournament it will not be a big deal. Something will eventually change. One thing we can count on from ANet is change.

Devon, is that you?!?

No its Habib

No.

We’ll see. It didnt matter that much to me to memorize the date, but SoR is definitely not that big of a deal.

I think it was JQ we kicked out of our third for breakfast this morning and they have not gotten past flipping a few abandonded towers and supply camps since.

It isnt that tier 1 servers are so much better than TC, it is that TC can be so much better than it is when we try at all. That is the fun of WvW for me, seeing how good we can get.

sounds like someone who has never upgraded a tower to t3 on their own.

Rackhir, I did get the initials wrong. Not JQ, although they don’t seem like that big of a deal on the receiving end of a few arrow carts.

SoR, I am pretty sure we have beaten them but I did not memorize the date. (Think it was within the last 6 weeks.)

Well, don’t know where you guys were, but we arent playing JQ or SoR this week, because we have stomped them too many times recently.

Ostra, TC has beaten JQ and SoR. TC actually stomped them on occasion, waypointing their keeps for full days.

And actually, I don’t think the majority of TC players want to be in t1 rank. The comments I hear about tier 1 are always bad. It has a reputation for being full of spys and cheats.

Still not following what you mean by “stacked.” Some guilds have joined the server and some of them are good at WvW. Not sure why that is a bad thing.

Dunno, TC is the only server I have played. I don’t know whether we stack a lot compared to others or not. I do know some of the most fun I have had in GW2 has been when we were outnumbered, like we are right now. It is a blast to take on a much bigger group and beat them.

Everybody starts out with a blank slate and practically no supply on Friday night. That is a fairly level playing field.

We have lots of people playing in TC and we have been playing better than ever since we got matched up with much stronger opponents. The numbers look like we are losing but we are getting better, more skilled, better leadership and strategy, better defense. Go ahead and quit.

We had kind of stopped bothering with the borderlands except when our garrison was under attack. There was almost always a long queue for EB. Now people are spending more time in the borderlands.

Right! It did not fix the first two weeks I clicked it, but it did today after the update. GAAA. Thanks : )

finally can play my main char again, but still think they should tone down those types of error messages that kill the quality of play like that.

items in my bank are not equipped. None of my other characters have mf equipped.

(Also shows up on only one character, even tho all characters on my account share the same bank.)

A tip keeps appearing on my screen about every 30 seconds that says I have an item equipped that does not have stats selected. But I have no items equipped without stats selected. Double-clicking every item I have equipped does not make the message stop appearing.

This is still broken.

I have this problem too. I even swapped out all my magic find runes and sigils and still get the pop-up over and over. It is so annoying I have stopped playing my main PvE character.

Thank you, Nero! I have not played with guilds on other servers so don’t know how that works. I am hoping to just find other who would like to coordinate for game content that needs a party. Sometimes a group of strangers can coordinate, but sometimes not. A guild with motivation to achieve PvE accomplishments would do better.

I like my WvW guild because they focus on defense and havoc, areas that are weak in some WvW guild strategies. I would like to stay with them, and they don’t mind if I represent someone else in PvE. They just don’t do much PvE, so I am left with pickupgroups for dungeons, not working very well.

Tarnished Coast level 80 elementalist, reasonably skilled and familiar with the game. Representing an active, small WvW guild. Looking for a PvE guild to form parties for casual gaming, dungeons, and events. Quiet adult, friendly and helpful, but usually do not socialize much outside the context of game play. I play about 50% WvW, 50% PvE, no PvP so far.

Voice communications are very important to most commanders. If you haven’t already, download Mumble or whichever voice comm client your world uses most and ask around for information you need to set up an account. Just quietly listening to the conversation will teach you a lot.

You will also want to learn the map you will be playing most often very well so you know without looking what is north of you, west of you, etc at any time without opening the big map. Learn the nicknames your commanders use for the locations.

on meh on meh on meh on meh ON MEHH! ON MEHHHH!

Tarkus, not a big deal, I just notice it could be so much better.

I’m a good soldier. We need those.

Langor can be a major ouch, so can the area around Wildcreek. Just depends on whether people will stay put or run off.

There are so many red circles it is actually funny. The commander will be shouting in mumble that if you die it is just because you don’t know how to dodge. Then he dies. (and blames it on the eles for lack of enough water fields and blast blast blast blast.)

dunno, I have seen some very ego heavy commanders walk away from towers full of ACs. There are two areas in particular in EB that other servers understand way better than mine does that we will not get close to based on AC alone, golems or not. The real deciding factor with AC is having people man them instead of running off with the zerg.

I really hope multiple types of commander tags are implemented. As it is now, there is usually just a choice between whichever ego is driving your server off the cliff at the moment or freelance.

Having multiple levels of commanders would be very helpful with this problem. People who want to run after the egomaniac could go do that, the rest of us could follow others who want to succeed instead of just show off.

ok you guys, please stop denigrating newcomers, find a plan to help them, ok?

ok this week we have sactom of rall and blackgate? LOL

Well I care. I see how this stuff forms people’s spirits. We identify with what we do here, dreamlike. It is not trivial.

I bet you were once.

I could really use some help with sentry on my server. New people will help. Please stop chasing them away.

I have seen ACs completely back a determined 60 man zerg off, over and over. If there are enough ACs placed well, they can definitely kill.

Yes! This would promote a more efficient use of squads instead of everybody piling into one zerg.

As a squishy ele, I think arrow carts are great. I have a big stack of superior ACs with me all the time and I am putting my Wxp into arrow cart mastery. I wish TC used them much more than we do. We have been on the receiving end of ACs and know how effective they can be, but we rarely use them ourselves. I guess most of us won’t sit still that long. We tend to set up a few then abandon them to expire.

A negative, arrogant commander who is too full of himself can drag your whole server down in WvW. He doesn’t just make himself lose, he makes your whole server lose. He wastes everyones hard work including time and money put into upgrades and siege. That is frustrating.

Bombing kites didn’t look that easy to me. It’s kind of a long puzzle. Maybe the kite is closer to the beginning than I think?

depends on if you are winning only because you are a jerk.

all day long there are people complaining about noobs wasting supply repairng wall, Then some commander will show up and waste 10x that much for a stupid golem party. I hate that. Rage quit.

your game will fail if defenders stop defending because they are fed up.

Don’t waste hard earned supply on some stupid golem party.

Do you Golem party idiots know how demoralizing it is to your defense to waste supply?

It makes sense to me to have one key commander for your world on each map because it helps with quick response. I play mainly EB. When the castle inner wall starts to go down, everybody needs to be there immediately. I just wish the commanders were better at organizing sub groups for defense. Some of them do but most can’t seem to delegate or even plan ahead more than 30 min.

I hope there is some way to verify the wins and at least get the achievement without spending another multiple gold.

more people are complaing about this inworld.

50s takes me a while to farm : (

I am sure my moa was first. I was watching very closely. When your moa loses, you get an event failed notification. I did not get any notification, succeed or fail.

I bet on a moa that won the race but I did not get a prize or the Dragon Bash achievement. Is this event bugged? (06-12 about 9am Pacific)

Transmuting turned out to not be a problem on second try. My Sylvari looks great in her new cultural armor.

Any info on whether it affects transmutation?

(I’m trying to dress my Sylvari like a cute plant with cultural armor, but use the best stats.)

Jeffrey, would this issue affect transmutation of the rune to other armor?
