Lol.. such a waste Why didn’t the 2 omega’s use their rockets at range at least? :P

Cause we didn’t want to think too much, hehe. It was a silly idea and we just went with it.

Sometimes, it is not about winning, it is about having fun!

Hehe, don’t worry wasn’t serious criticism If you look around youtube there’s a video of our server charging SM naked without killing oil etc… organised by me

I really hope that was successful, would’ve been hilarious. Nice to see some people just having a laugh every now and then.

We made it further than the golems, but successful? no

Well, joined sPvP for first time all month and the only chat was:
“2 NABCAKES”
“LOL”
“YOUTUBE BVUILDS”
“—— YOU”
“My guild is gonna join in a minute so you lol some more baddy”
“Shrink ur balls gsword guardian not sposed to fight conditions”

All from one guy, I’d rather keep that out of WvW as well.

It’s the leap that does the huge damage, just took one a minute ago with 1 dog hitting 1.2k and the other hitting 1.7k. I’m running 3k armor atm so it’s not cause I’m glass cannon :P

I don’t know what the hounds cooldown on the leap is, and it seems to be only that attack that REALLY hits but it’s nasty nonetheless.

Mayam.8976:

Considering all that, I’d definitely go Human for the 1.5k attacks from the racial. If that number is just an extreme “once-in-a-blue-moon” kind of unusually high damaging proc, and the average is more in keeping with the general damage of other racials of the kind then I’d say go with Asura easily. If PvP isn’t any consideration for you though? Just go with whatever looks the coolest to you when all decked out in exotic armor.

I’m a Norn myself but from what the humans in my guild have told me, it’s not ALL the attacks from the hounds that hit hard but the leap attack that they do, I do regularly get hit for 1k+ by it though.

The trait is bugged, first swap in combat is 10s.

The sigils have an internal shared CD of 9s.

Asura for the advantage in harder to spot animations and pain inverter.

Human for hounds/tree. The hounds hit like a truck (Fighting a guardian he hit me for 300 then his hound hit me for 1.5k…) and the tree gives you access to entangling roots, then pop out the transform and go to town.

I find it interesting that a video of warrior gameplay involves almost all footage of using weapons provided by an elementalist. After this topic emerged – https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/warrior/Warrior-Hammer-vs-Ele-Hammer – it’s an interesting video :P

I’ve got a slightly tainted view myself, as I do mostly small fights of between 5-10 people a side, so such things play a larger impact to our gameplay.

I’m not sure if I think they should affect both as a result, as I get to experience both sides of the coin, curious as to what others think though

Certain abilities were changed to have different effects in sPvP to the rest of the world (Save Yourselves, Cluster Bomb are 2 examples). I can only assume these were done due to causing inbalances in a player vs player environment.

So, do you think that these changes should also apply to World vs World given that it is again a player vs player environment?

Lol.. such a waste Why didn’t the 2 omega’s use their rockets at range at least? :P

Other than a guardian (commander?) all the VOLT members I’ve run into lately have been Ele’s hehe Good luck to you anyhow, been some fun fights today when we can break away from Surmia zerg.

Vabbi have certainly had a drop in players recently, they used to be the clear dominant server in the lower tier, but I believe a very large alliance left after frustration of being stuck there.

I see many members of VOLT around, and I must ask, are you 75% elementalists? :P

Very first contact I had with an opposing player was with someone I met pretty much every night and had enjoyable fights with, someone who had recently moved server knew his name so after about 2 weeks I said “Just wanted to say always fun to meet you” and the response I got? “Shut up and play noob”.

Now, that was one contact. Sure there may be plenty of good ones – but the only reason there hasn’t been more negative ones is because there is no names. I had more than enough of that in SWToR thanks.

I am recognised plenty by my armor and guild tag, and frequently receive extra fire as a result… so, would my name being visible make me more of a target? doubtful. But would I then receive more idiotic whispers? yes. Most games that show names do not allow you to also whisper your opponents, with guesting on the way and cross server guilds/contacts the whisper option won’t be going anywhere.

Jakal.6485:

/agreed OP. Why take away credibility?? Why would you NOT want people to know it was you spiking them in the ground? Why would you not want that kind of rivalry, community, and excitement? If you answered anything other than “exactly!”, then maybe this isn’t the easymode you were looking for. PvP in this game is already made easy enough. Does it really need to be made worse? So if you can’t grow a backbone then maybe you should think about going back to facebook games.

So your argument is that if we prefer the game as it already is we should stop playing? What kind of backwards logic is that??

I’ve had an exotic from there, so it can drop them at least. Sun God’s Gift was the exotic.

Good scrap at mendons just now.

Pesky moa >.>

Ivano.2604:

It was a good skirmish, and for the chronicle, there were 3 ballista and no more than 10 people inside boss chamber at that time..
You IMP people seemed the hardest to knock down and while i am here, i really would like to ask you, how do you manage to permastealth many of your toons? Just wondering, i am always willing to learn new advanced skirmish strategies…

I can guarantee we were fighting more than 10 players on the upper bridge as I have (part of) it on video Likely no more than 10 in the inner circle I can agree with but definitely more than 10 in the whole keep :P There was 1 only ballista on the first attack which we took out, certainly 4 on the second attack as I got entangling rooted in the middle of them … erk!

I’m not sure what you mean by perma stealth our toons ^^ We are a 13 man guild but lately rarely have more than 5 online, we have 2 players who have thieves although neither were playing them during that skirmish, we had: 80 War, 80 Guard, 80 Mes, 61 Ele and 17 Ranger.

Effsee.1583:

How humble of you Surmia, not to admit how much your numbers grew in those past weeks, while Vabbi now is almost deserted. You have the people we say you’re having, no need to deny it, we have eyes as well.
Btw, yesterday we were awesome Fow fellas, 3 ballistas and 10-15 people (very rarely we reach 30-40) made the difference! No matter what we keep fighting and believing.

I am more than happy to concede the numbers I’ve said it many times in Surmian /t – Vabbi lost a lot of numbers. I don’t think that Surmia has gained too many numbers it’s simply all the cowards have seen we are winning and joined in. When we move up we will get pummeled but personally I’d just like to get out of this steamroll. This is the first week we’ve properly joined in since it began because we just want to get it over with quicker! I am in agreement RoS has more numbers than FoW, but the gap isn’t as big as it once was

EDIT: Fixed quote.

We have been informed that we are Dark’s #1 targets, and we aren’t a fan of corpse humpers

The very first push into the keep we weren’t present, we came in afterwards when the majority were dead, went round the side and ended up in a massive brawl on the upper bridge near the west inner gate. The rest of Surmia got back just as we died. Might’ve made the fight if we’d at least had all 80’s in the party

Froggie.3758:

well that was a fun little skirmish at FoW garrison. Any RoS players want to add in their opinions on it?

It was enjoyable for my guild ([Imp]), although we felt a little alone the majority of the time. There were plenty of RoS there they just didn’t seem to be doing anything most the time :P We warned them not to just charge straight into the ballista’s but they didn’t listen. Got the lord down but couldn’t clear the circle on our own with 4 ballistas and 20 (more?) players there.

I enjoy those chaotic sieges

No problem, sorry if I came across overly harsh it just seemed a bit hypocritical for Vabbi to object given the previous few months Vabbi themselves used to outnumber the other 2 servers heavily until the main guilds left.

To increase the rating you just need to get points, win the matchups and hope it goes up. But it will take time, lots of time and effort.

Sigh

There is a ladder, It does balance worst to worst and best to best, point is these 3 servers are the LOWEST 3.

It is hilarious to see Vabbi complaining about zerg and domination, given that 3 weeks ago we had the same matchup for 3 weeks. Vabbi vs FoW vs RoS, and for those 3 weeks Vabbi were the massively dominating faction with 400k+ points, coming on earlier in the day and using golems to clear the map.

Now as I posted above, nothing has changed on RoS but Vabbi has lost some players. But I notice that no one ever complained when Vabbi was the side that held 100% of the map, if you wish to complain about balance it works both ways.

Sajuuk.6420:

Ruins of Surmia and a 100 man zerg? whats next? Flying Stonemist :P?

Whilst I do agree that it’s hilarious to see RoS getting complained about given they’ve been pummeled at the bottom for so long… I must point out that a few weeks ago there was a queue in RoS BL just to fight against 10 people :P So no, it’s not unheard of.

Even as a RoS player I don’t believe that anything has changed on the server in the past 2 months to make this happen, it is more changes on other servers, but it IS funny to see a thread complaining about Surmia zerg given the previous situations.

Of course, but as said different passwords are used, and majority of the hacked players are not members of the site.

Some of us are on a community site, but out of the hacked players only 4 that I am aware of. Furthermore I can certainly say of myself that my game, and email passwords are unique and unused for any other website/game/service. I actually changed it a little over a week ago – if I recall correctly – to a brand new password (following other support issues).

With a high frequency in short time all coming from the same server, I can only assume it is a player on the server looking for commander icons/cultural gear/legendaries on players as a way of finding a target with lots of gold. Then using the report function to gain their account+character names.

The serial code is the issue here, every dealing I have had with support so far has required my serial code, which only exists in physical form or in the ArenaNet databases as my game was bought from another site (one listed in ArenaNet’s retailers list not a random 3rd party one).

Shame I can’t get mobile auth due to my phone type, but some of the players hacked are using mobile authenticator anyway. Once they change your email they can login and disable it I believe?

So the root of the problem is how are they changing the email to begin with.

Actually they can’t disable the link to the mobile authenticator unless they have access to the phone itself.

One of our guild members just changed his email via support just incase of him being the next target, and found that he now has to re-apply his mobile authenticator.

If they are getting in by email changes, then it will disable the mobile auth.

Shame I can’t get mobile auth due to my phone type, but some of the players hacked are using mobile authenticator anyway. Once they change your email they can login and disable it I believe?

So the root of the problem is how are they changing the email to begin with.

My concern’s atm are:

Why does the “your email has been changed” email not have a confirmation link etc?
Why was the hacker able to login to one of my characters and access my bank while I was also logged in on a different character?

Yup, I get a text message every time anyone attempts to use my email account, and it logs all IP’s.

I attempted to put mobile authentication on from the first day it was available, but I do not have a phone that supports it. I use mobile authentication on my email however (as it is a text message).

If it is a case of the CD key, I have a physical copy.

Whilst playing the game 10minutes ago I recieved an email telling me my email address has been changed – I have not requested this (nor can I find an option) so I submitted a ticket.

Since then I was logged out to character screen every 10-15seconds. With the last time being that I was on one character in Timberline Falls whilst another character was in lions arch – it is rather odd that 2 characters from an account can be online at the same time?

I was hoping that as this is happening while I am here and able to alert ArenaNet that they can check the IP’s before it has gone…. but judging by what my guild is telling me is occuring, it is already too late.

I have just spent 15minutes being logged in/out every 10seconds back to character screen. Each time reconnecting my character to the game to attempt to stop them.

However according to my guild I was logged in in Lions Arch on an alt, whilst I was staring at my screen on my main character in Timberline Falls.

My client has now crashed (Sigh) meaning I can no longer use this method either. I have attempted an account recovery (as it says it sends it to an email you provide not the one that is tied to the account) but I have not received this email yet…

According to my guild voice comms my characters are now all moving to lions arch and standing at the bank. I’ve sent a ticket as it is happening this very second and the IP’s could be very quickly checked but who knows.

I too am a commander on RoS…

… and while playing, about 30 seconds ago, I received an email telling me I have changed my email address. Still logged into the game, and cannot find anywhere to change it myself?

I’ve checked my email IP’s and there is no login to my email address from an unusual source, my email/game pwords are different and this pword hasnt been used any where else.

Mostly, wtf do you even go to change the email?

All the hacked accounts I know of, the players recieved an email telling them their email had been changed – which as far as I’m aware must be done through support? The members in my guild checked the IP listings for their email address and there was no suspicious activity there.

Looking at their trading post history, their accounts were emptied onto the TP for gold and then the gold mailed out. They also removed all guild vault stuff, activated all guild buffs and changed the MOTD. Things which couldnt be sold or salvaged were on some players deleted, on others left alone.. which is intriguing cos in some cases they seem to be malicious and in others not so.

It’s not just the commanders tbh.

One of our guild (not a commander) had his account hacked this morning, one last week. I know of 4 other players within the past day on our server as well.

Times killed by moa? 8 today at least. There is a guild on the opposing server in our matchup whose mesmers all seem to use moa.

It’s insanely frustrating to hit Stability/Endure Pain and be instantly moaed.

Personally at this stage I’d just like to know why the PvP changed skills do not also apply to WvW?

It all depends on what aspect of the game you prefer.

PvE, it won’t matter. The Asuran utility ‘radiation field’ can be nice due to AoE weakness, but that’s about it in my opinion and I wouldn’t find a slot for that on my bar anyway.

PvP, Asura. As Defektive said, animations are smaller and harder to dodge.

Personally I’m a norn because I just like the race, I play the smallest norn possible but if I ever go into sPvP I’ll be making an asura (if I can get used to the camera, all my alts are norn because I’m used to that high cam).

Cowards of Surmia

Well then, which server? :P

I know you can join from the overflows and such but what server? I’m more concerned with EU/NA crossover.

Recklessone.7142:

- Add some bleeds to the sword burst skill, Flurry.

It already does bleed.

So, anyone who can only play for the first few hours of the ‘reset’ may as well not bother?

Rename “Forcefull Greatsword” to something else and let the trait work with all weaponsets.

Would be overpowered. Sure the guardian has a trait that does the same and also grants to allies, but it is not in the line that gives precision stat, nor does the Guardian have easy access to fury.

Why would it be overpowered? Its in the game so Devs must think its OK to use and its for the most OP weapon available. Right now Gsword offers everything that hits hard: vulnability, fury on burst with 90% uptime and traited might on crit… (thats OP yes)
I do not like GS but with this trait you can gain Might very easily. I just want my favored weaponcombination to be a bit more on par with the heavenly almighty
Greatsword. If its too OP in PvP (Which I am not interested in at all) then maybe add a reduced procchance on players or something..

To be honest you are probably right, I too dislike the GS and wish I had something similar available for other weapon. My main thought that made me quickly jump to the “It would be OP” response was that it would be now used for every weapon and anything that becomes a must in any build is normally so. It retrospect it would be no more overpowered than it is currently, but it would make every weapon than GS more restricted in builds than they already are.

Come to think of it, the GS is the most OP weapon to have it on already other than axes due to it’s fast attack speed giving more opportunities for crits. Something like the hammer would be far less powerful with it as you do not crit anywhere near as frequently.

So yeah… gut reaction but on deeper thought I agree All I can say is maybe they think that other (more mobile) weapons with constant might build up ontop of their alternate benefits may be too much. Who knows though.

Personally I’d like Kill Shot toned down (yes, I said it) and I’d like the greatsword reduced in it’s performance in exchange for other weapons being tweaked up a touch. I don’t use the greatsword very often but every time I do it’s because I feel like I am hurting myself to NOT use it. Highest burst damage, a very reasonable autoattack and high mobility, with not bad survival either due to Whirlwind evading.

On a more extreme scale I’d like to see stances returned to (what I understand to be) their original design – toggle skills that drain your adrenaline while active. Giving increased usefulness to all the adrenaline gaining traits and stances at once, and providing some more depth to the class in terms of balancing your adrenaline. Endure Pain would have to be tweaked in this case however, as it could potentially last forever if you had enough adrenaline gain.

I enjoy the ‘brawler’ gameplay the most yet the warrior classes are always the ones with the least depth or skill ceiling due to their survival being entirely stat based, rather than based around making sure you keep boons up etc. In it’s current state the stat survival is not enough so Endure Pain/Shield Stance provide the bulk of damage mitigation, which is where I believe the majority of complaints about ‘glass cannon’ warriors not being glass comes from – you get in, kill, and get out whilst still immune to damage. Anything to add more depth to the class would make me happy, and some way of gaining protection boon that required a big of juggling would suit this. For comparison there is the elementalist, which is weaker at base level but with good play can become far stronger, by proper dancing of the attunements and managing cooldowns.

TBH I don’t like the Legendary skin, it looks far too thin imho. I use Magmaton, which is the same look at Colossus (the base weapon for the Juggernaut)

Hi,
The initial post in this thread says to post the ticket number if it has not been reviewed after 3 days, and one of your recent posts says to post after your update – so I hope I am posting at the right time (rather than wasting time).

Ticket # 121106-002884

Last contact was a little over 72 hours ago, to say that the ticket required review. As I have not heard anything new I assume this falls under the above description (“not been reviewed after 3 days”).

Thank you.

EDIT: Account has been sorted within an hour of posting this, thank you

The reward is the enjoyment of it in itself.

As for gold, I come out on top every day and I probably drop more siege than anyone on my server, as well as purchasing several upgrades.

I was banned on Tuesday night (UK player, so Tuesday daytime for NA) for botting, and submitted a ticket. It has now been approximately 3 days (give or take a few hours) since I submitted the initial ticket.

As far as I know it has been escalated for review, but I have not heard any further information. Naturally any assistance appreciated and I’d just like to get back to playing, but if I could be back in before tonight’s WvW reset it would be fantastic

Ticket # = 121106-002884

Thank you.

P.S, Unsure if I am to be posting if it has been 3 days since most recent update or initial ticket, so I took the chance. Apologies if I have been too quick.

Just a suggestion/question: Are you looking for a NA or EU server, this might help in your search

Boons – Mesmer’s Chaos Storm, or shouts from the Guardian. I think those are your best bets.

Condition Removal – Mesmer’s for Null Field (also remove boons from opponents) or a Necromancer with the signet that pulls conditions to them from allies.

Control – a D/D ele or a Warrior with Hammer/Mace’s seems to work best for this.

Damage – Thief, it will also provide you with group stealth should it be required. Other classes can deal damage as well as a thief but not with anything like the same speed or escape.

AoE Damage – Ele with a staff is unmatched here in my opinion, certainly for dealing the damage at range from safety.

Swiftness – Warrior is pretty much the best at group swiftness, with certain traits/runes the Warhorn alone can grant 100% swiftness uptime to a 5man group.

There are of course other things to consider, the bigger the force you are facing the more that melee becomes a hazard, and you never want a melee to be alone as they will take ALL of the fire rather than spreading it. My guild runs between 4-8 on average against the zergs (we are on a bottom tier server) and if we have an 8 man setup going it is usually: Warrior, Guardian, Guardian, Mesmer, Mesmer, Thief, Ranger, Ele. Although we are not playing in perfect supportive specs as we tend to be fighting outside objectives so swiftness for instance is not so important.

Certainly though the most enjoyment of the game for me is to be had in a small group. And as above, I think Mesmer and Thief (and guardian) are the most indispensable classes in WvW.
