Ok so people that hack the orbs apparently don’t broadcast this to their own team. I’m all for berating people on my team that do it, even when we’re at a big disadvantage (well, morale permitting,) but they’re basically anonymous as it stands.

If you actually see them doing it reporting them give you their account name.# but I’m not sure if that’s going to stay that way…

At this point, I hope ANet investigates this game(As in the WvW game) and try to find out exactly what is going on.

Hmmm... Warriors overlooked again, mostly.

It’s not that bad.. Considering Engies are still almost useless and Thieves probably can still perma invis.

Forceful Shot got a nice buff though. Activation time isn’t to much of a hassle. Although I was hoping they would fix the Revenge bug that causes you to die twice.

Played for 5 minutes… And I was astounded. SoS and CD put up one hell of a fight! And it is FUN! Holy mother of god I haven’t had this much fun in a PvP game in ages. Saddest part is my Greatsword is only level 45 and I need my level 60 one to do anything… So I’ll be back in PvP in about 10 minutes :P.

Otherwise good luck and have fun! And don’t forget supply!

Lol we gonna run around it and not get…SON OF A!

Ahh man good times.

So to summarize. The Mesmer is an extremely great class to play. Just don’t expect to be a tank or anything.

To counter NightFire… I roll Staff most the time with Sword/Torch offhand. Seems the Scepter is the only weapon not listed.

In short, learn about the class, and find your play style.

Well.. The Sceptar doesn’t seem to be very useful.. The Greatsword and Staff both outdo it in damage, CDamage, and Range.

Of course not!
Use Greatswords to deal huge burst damage and to keep them back.

Or swords/pistol, sword/sword, or even sword/focus to deal huge damage over time. Especially since 1 on sword deals vulnerability and 2 gives you invincibility for the duration of the skill.

Also, as much as the F1-4 skills seem useless at first. Once you understand the Mesmer more, those skills are extremely useful for taking down Veterans and Champs.

Actually, Rangers are giggles of fun to fight. Unlike the thief…Which can stay invis perma and take down a zerg… So might you change the name of the thread from Ranger to Thief? It’d make more sense.

Also, if you are getting pummeled at the walls. Why don’t you stay away from them? Build Catas or Trebs to hit the walls, or tell everyone to AoE where you see the arrows being fired from. Most AoE’s can easily take down the Arrow Carts, or damage those on the walls enough to push them back for a bit to build a Ram.

Well SoR should not celebrate just yet. Whatever guild jumped to their server will just jump to another on friday, and SoR will get their kitten handed to them. Mark my words.

At that point that guild should probably be forced to disband.

So why not place these servers against each other. Rather then place them against the very same type of servers that do not care as much for PvP or do not have the amount of players available at all times to successfully PvP.

The reason is because (and please correct me if i’m wrong as this is just my understanding) Anet has chosen to have their matchmaking system work completely automated and by the numbers with no human judgment and input being part of the process.

This along with the whole thing being based solely off past performance and not taking into account current and active WvW populations is the reason you will not see the sort of logic you detail applied to matchmaking.

We are for the most part in the dark as to what sort of data Anet has regarding WvW populations and transfers. We have seen no statement that even addresses whether they have knowledge of WvW population growth and active WvW player transfers and whether they even monitor such things.

That doesn’t seem very well thought out. As of right now SoR and everyone else listed in my previous post, are overkilling. And when you look at where they are ranked. It easily shows how off the ranking system is. This will cause problems much later in the game if it isn’t corrected.

On a side note: The reason we aren’t talking to much about the current fight between SoR, Yaks, and GoM in this thread. Is because nothing is going on. GoM and Yaks caught a few places here and there, but SoR quickly caught it all back. It’s basically set on repeat from there.

Hopefully, they will set SoR BlackGate and Jade Quarry…

As for now. Yaks need to get the kitten together. Or at least grow some nuts and stop standing next to the invulnerability zone. And that goes for GoM too. Both of which can do very well when they want to. And make for some epic PvP fights.

That would make no sense at all. Ideal, and logical matchup would be
-Sanctum of Rall
-Fort Aspenwood
-Dragonbrand
(Tier 4)
Or if we manage to gain over 450k

-Eredon Terrace
-Sea of Sorrows
-Sanctum of Rall
(Tier 3)

But I’m betting on the latter matchup.

I’d rather not get 2 more servers that got blown out…

I’d rather prefer SoR progressing slowly but steadily, but these are the matchups we will get.

Since, I was given an infraction or some other BS I now have to retype/reword what I wrote.

SoR is progressing slowly… very slowly…As you said they are. But the thing is. While SoR progresses the players get bored. Ultimately leaving PvP for some time. Thus, they become rusty and are unable to preform as well as they could had SoR been place with others that fit better into the spot.

And, it’s not just SoR. JQ, IoJ,BG NS, and SF are all shutting out the games. So why not place these servers against each other. Rather then place them against the very same type of servers that do not care as much for PvP or do not have the amount of players available at all times to successfully PvP.

Perma-Stealth During Combat Thief Glitching

As for now Thiefs should probably get locked. Until the issue can be resolved. Those using Thiefs will probably QQ because they can’t perma invis all the time.

Or just remove steal entirely, but I also enjoy using it to revive allies and the such.

This isn’t a traditional MMO. Dungeons are fine in my opinion. The rewards do need to be a little better though. Get used to it or move on.

No! This is a traditional MMO. It’s just trying to hide behind lazy devs. Actually this is borderline WoW clone. PvP is a bit different but there are still broken classes. Dungeons need to be removed, or worked extremely hard on. And there are so many bugs it hurts my fingers. Just like WoW!

A Non Traditional MMO is something like Battlestar Galatica. Or even Star Trek. Hell DayZ and WarZ can fall into that category.

But GW2 is very traditional.

I’m not being sarcastic. I just don’t understand – if you wanted easy dungeons that rely on the traditional healer, tank and damage-dealing roles then why are you playing GW2?

Because I also what dungeons that are a challenge. These dungeons are more of ANet saying “We hate you and everything you stand for.” Which isn’t fair at all for the upcoming players from WoW, LOTRO, and other MMOs.

This MMO has the chance to be better then WoW. But it’s things like this that make everyone look away in disgust.

And the traditional Healer, Tank, Damage roles is more of the only way to do dungeons. There are other ways. But the reason the traditional dungeon experience is used constantly by every MMO is because of how well it works. Allowing players to use the full extent of the abilities given to help, not only themselves, but others complete the dungeon and reap the rewards of teamwork.

This dungeon thing is more like… What twilight did to vampires… Best way to describe it.

What exactly about dungeons are ‘trash’?

Difficulty curve is to high at lower dungeon.
Rewards and XP are too low for said Difficulty.
“Random” traps basically wipe first time dungeon players.
Adds are placed too close together.
No group search system.
No proper healing/tank group.
No real reason to actually do dungeons.
Level Limit breaks dungeons.

At this point I hope you are being sarcastic.

I know there is more. But I haven’t eaten at all today and my head isn’t in it’s proper place. (Doesn’t hinder gaming performance)

When in comes to Dungeons Blizzard were pros at it. And with them firing more then half of the WoW Developers they are all out there ripe for the picking.

SO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! GET SOME! Really ANet these dungeons are TRASH! You do NOT punish the player for wanting to do something other then wait for Events or PvP.

I’m honestly open to some kind of treaty or alliance between Yak’s Bend and Gates of Madness. I’m not a commander, but I think unite-and-conquer might be the way to go here. But even then, with both servers so savagely demoralized…

if I see this situation exactly the same at the end of the week, you can bet hell will be raised on these forums. And not just by me.

So maybe now is a good time to try out the reason ANet pitted 3 servers together? If it works, then I’ll love it. Otherwise, I don’t see what the point of playing that mode is.

Needs to be 1v1v1v1.

It looks like the same for every tier from the score screenshots I have seen thus far.

The consensus atm sure does seem to be that W3 sucks everywhere. Only the bottom 3 brackets aren’t looking at 100k+ blowouts. They just have 50k blowouts, lol.

Free transfers need to stop.

Not stop. But made to be 1 per Char.
Or make it so anyone that does World Trans. can’t join WvW till the following week. Unless brought back to the original home world.

Otherwise. If Yaks got there kitten together (And GoM) they’d be able to do something.
