Guild Wars 2

Jahn.7019:

While I wasn’t there, someone on JQ has been using the spawn/mountain exploit to hop directly into inner Lord’s room area.

If you play on JQ and you see a portal going there, please don’t take it and report it to their guild master and Anet, they have been doing it all day.

I have a screen shot and have dealt with one of the two people involved if you have any more screen shots that involve such acts feel free to send them to me and I will deal with them personally as it’s something I won’t stand for at all.

bg having fun camping the 4 ppl on your map at spawn with a zerg?

Accusations that BG was involed in spawn camping or 2v1 are not allowed this week.

Need I remind you how the week started-off?:

http://youtu.be/TdzBcudYH00

That had nothing to do with JQ and the everything to do with Rise.
That tower was gone either way you cut it. They had it for all of 1 tick lol

I think it also had to do with our stuff (JQ) being extremely heavily fortified and scouts in position where it was wise for SoR to push BG side for ppt and to keep them from upgrading it. Also keep in mind on reset SoR blocked us from getting hills for the first hour and sacrificed NW tower and outer wall of their garrison for it. When we got hills we took advantage knowing SoR would push south to send a message that their NW tower was off limits.

BTW, there is an AoS mesmer exploiting into hills over and over on SoR BL.

Appreciate it if an officer or leader of Army of Shepards would ask him/her to stop. It’s unnecessary.

Thank you in advance.

Hard to figure out who it is without at least a screen shot. I just got pm’d accusing me of being in a guild of hackers and exploiters but said user wouldn’t provide a screen shot. Hopefully you can provide me with a screen shot to go off of otherwise I can’t do much.

He is exploiting in from the spawn point to hills, he’s done it about 4 times now. We’ll try and get you a screenshot, but looking into it on your end as well would be a great start.

Thanks.

You guys do have an elementalist commander on the map. Have them look into it.

Hard to look into when someone who has a screenshot won’t give it to me because he would rather slander me.

I can confirm that this has been happening, whoever is doing it teleports straight into the lords room. Needless to say we are sure that they weren’t hiding in there as it has often happened when there was no way a mesmer could get inside. This isn’t someone trash talking your guild and I am not one to do that. I think he is just trying to make you guys aware because I know you wouldn’t approve of that sort of behavior.

As I stated previously I can look into it but literally without screen shots its like a needle in a haystack. And you did have a member of your server pm me saying he had screen shots and accusing me of having an exploiter’s guild if you want those screen shots pm me privately.

Well I promise that personally, I will be looking to get a screenshot of the culprit, as a wvw rank and visual ID will certainly aid you in your search. I give you my word that this has been happening. I don’t know who that was that pmed you calling you an exploit guild, that has never been my experience with you guys in the slightest, they are very wrong. I am sure we can work together to find the culprit.

Apologies if I came off a bit strong, you’re definitely presenting this with a level head and deserve the benefit of the doubt in my opinion, for what that’s worth. Good luck with the screenshot. None of our servers or guilds should tolerate this crap.

Yeah, I am not usually on SoR bl but I’ve seen it happen a few times now. It’s hard to get a screen since he disappears if someone finds him, I imagine porting to spawn again or something similar. Honestly, nothing against AoS at all. You guys are all stand up guys in my opinion. : ) I will keep in touch.

I appreciate it if I came off kitten thats mainly because when I logged on I was getting accusations of such and that doesn’t really start someone off in a good mood. But I have talked to my officer’s and members who were on at the time and we are all working to try and figure out who it was because we had 50+ people on at the time it will take some time when we don’t have anything to go on but they are a mesmer.

Slander would be me accusing all your entire guild and your guild leader and officers.

I am acknowledging that it could be a new recruit, a troll, or quite frankly someone frustrated with JQ’s position.

Either way, it’s unnecessary, and if you don’t want to look into it, that’s up to you. But when the SS does come with the fraps, I will post it publically because you refused to look into it when you were first warned.

I can’t look into something that I have no proof of. I’m not going to go through an exploit path to find an exploiter. If you have had it happening so much you should have some proof of it by now. I really don’t see the point in continuing this I’ve asked my officers to look into it but i’m not going to tell them to exploit to catch an exploiter.

Great fights tonight on BG BL by both BG and SOR. It was a blast. Thank you.

Now if only the AC BS was fixed before too many more people leave the game.

But kytana we use 3 ac’s per open field fight!!!! The Rise guy said so!

Oh Yea and WARD runs around with 80+ people too…… rolls eyes

I corrected it for you don’t worry! I gotcha back

JQ….why do you put arrow carts in the middle of zerg v zerg fights? Thought T1 was suppose to be this awesome zerg v zerg competition but as I command for RISE I can’t help but notice the disorganization from JQ and some SoR zergs. JQ’s logic – put arrow carts in the middle of fights because our skill isn’t enough, scatter everywhere to make us look like a bigger zerg, run away. I’m noticing SoR getting better with their organization so brownie points for you guys, but man was I disappointed at the competition when we xferred to BG.

lol, 10/10! I’m glad a no name guild can judge T1 realms after just transferring to a T1 server.

This “no name guild” is running through every zerg that comes across us. Ask TYSM, TW, FEAR, and SF.

LOL

LOL

LOL

Seriously, i laughed so hard when I read that that I flashed back to the worst portal bomb I’ve ever seen someone pull on another force that you guys gave us the other night. I’ve never seen an entire maps force inside a single static field before but Rise managed to pull it off!

Sound’s like they rose to the occasion then

And for those that scream with proud before: “BG is not T1 material!! BG is imploding!!!!”

I have one thing to ask:

Suuup?

BG was impolding at the time and was on their way to T2. They ate another server and now are no longer imploding, but that does not mean they were doing fine 2 weeks ago. Your comment is kind of stupid.

JQ’s PVE forces would also like to thank Kaineng as they can now all easily get blue vistas and POIs apparently. So I guess the question now is “how long til sea of black kainengs implodes!?!”

Actually the more interesting question is how far will JQ fall now that both EMP and FoO have left? They’ve now lost first place (not just the week, the rank) and all the fair weather players are going to abandon ship (either to PvE or to another server). The easy wins appear to be gone, so the buffer of players they enjoyed from that are a luxury no longer around and the guilds are going to have to work harder to stay in tier one, let alone win it. That’s something a lot of JQ isn’t used to. It’s going to get ugly (you can see the frustration on GW2Guru already) and as hard as the guilds might try to make up for the loss of numbers, people get sick of over time.

Rush to recruit because if the dominoes keep falling like they have been these last few weeks, the next time JQ will be green might be in tier two.

Our SEA may not wear one tag but they are still as devastating as ever though they do pve a little more than they have in the past but can we blame them? WvW can get boring if you do it 5hrs every night for months on end.

You expected competition yet all you do is talk about how stacked BG is. Sorta ironic and at the same time your beating around a bush because I’ve yet to see a organized or even good rise group that uses any new meta. All I see from RISE is hug the pin run into zerg pin dies group scatters (happened everytime your beloved leader has been leading)

I said one thing about how BG is getting stacked and now that’s all I talk about. Lol. Now that’s ironic. I am the “beloved leader”. Or rather commander. Idk who’s been leading for RISE when I’m not on but everytime I command I make sure we’re organized, so you’ve been facing the wrong force.

The first night you guys were in Tier 1 there was about 20 of you and 20 KnT that wiped when trying to sandwich my 15 man pug team if thats supposed to impress me.

Guys news just in JQ is the only server that does new content stuff.

I knew we were! I just knew it! Dang you PVE, dang you!

Grub is the bestest PvE EVER!

Congrats on the win this week. Jed do you think we should stack EB for the grub? I think one night this week we have to do it!! That grub is a mean mofo!

Finals done for most universities ! Time to get back to rolling deep!

It’s sad when arrow carts have more range than catapults or so it seems. It makes it impossible to siege a keep without setting up trebs to clear siege which then can be countered from the significantly entrenched side.

MagiKarp.8201:

We received Meow, WM, RiSE, KOR and KO

We now have similar if not equal coverage in SEA timezone, the reason we won this week was because we held onto our objectives… I know hard thing to believe that you can cap something in OC/SEA hold it through EU and then give it to NA at T3…

This is why we won, we held 300+ ppt for 3 days straight after that massive 450 ppt NA / Oceanic / SEA by JQ on Monday night (NA) Tuesday for every1 else.

JQ flipped all the maps but didnt hold onto them into NA, I went to sleep that night 260vs260 ppt woke up to 350 ppt, our EU had done a great job in holding and upgrading keeps/tower.

Reason BG has been so successful and survived is our coordination between guilds who are used to working together and the new turnover, we used to have a big gap between NA and Oceanic where JQ would capitalise and take all our stuff, now with MERC starting on the dot Oceanic timezone, eliminate your inefficiencies and win.

I for one am sick of the toxicity coming out of our opponents whenever we win / do well, maybe reflect on this as a server and think about it, maybe this was the reason WM, Meow, RiSE, KO, KOR chose BG over SoR and JQ.

You do realize WM would never transfer to be on the same server as FOO they want to fight. That’s the deal with that it pretty much eliminated us from transfers which is fine but please don’t state reasons that are false.

Good fights this week whoever wins will have earned it that’s for sure. Guild missions tonight as well lets get it!

I’ll probably get trolled for this but I don’t see what the point of posting all these things that are negative about FOO. They won’t respond on public forums they will continue going about their business all you are doing is trying to slander them. It’s best to let FOO/Atm and all the mandarin guilds work their own stuff out instead of constantly posting about them on the forums. This is the one and only thing I will say about the mandarin guilds because I am doing what anyone respectable should and letting them work it out themselves.

BG has been super strong during Euro times lately. Did they get some Euro guilds as well? I am curious.

WM and Merc are pushing later hours leaving them with t3 fortifications into EU prime. Plus organization but it’s tons of fun just wish it wasn’t so lopsided (PvE events hurt ! ) Don’t take this as whining or complaints just an observation of what I’ve seen and why they are ticking so high.

Stei we have Euros in the guild and Ralikh usually covers that shift as a result of his timezone. RUIN, MERC, HB and a few other guilds play during that time and yeah I do agree we generally can muster more guys on the field but what seems to be hurting the JQ Euro seems to be organisation. I stayed up late last night to command during late SEA and early Euro on JQ bl (not a problem due to the fact I night shift), and an observation I made was that the guys that you did have were usually unorganized militia to a large extent. We had roughly equal numbers going to Euro on me at that point (~15) and we were just farming JQ whenever they made a mad dash for cragtop.

Props for WM though who took the T3 hills in BG bl though while JQ overextended when we wanted to clear siege in JQ’s garrison to drain supply. We did pick up a few small guilds, but at that timezone small guilds are so much more important due to their mobility and their ability to hit up targets when one server is blobbing.

I just know the tag’s I’m not sure of the location. That’s all I can state based on past I assumed MERC was mainly aussie but thanks for the tidbit it really means a lot. And yea I was getting ready for an exam when it happened I was a bit kitten haha but nice job on the flip regardless.

Fighting a very organized BG force and tons of fun out there come be a part of the fight today and join us

Kript.3291:

or maybe FOO needs waha
or maybe JQ hasn’t learn the new tactic to deal with the recent changes to wvw yet
or maybe JQ no longer has the coverage advantage now with BG gaining more SEA guilds
or maybe JQ is getting old and slow and can’t adapt to the new tactics brought by WM and other new BG guilds ( or commanders)

lmao right now even SoR has higher ppt…

LA misses you all I’ll say to that.
WM is a worthy adversary and we have always been a very PvX Server. Case and point first week of Wintersday we lost by like 80k to both SBI/SoS and then two weeks later we beat both of them by like 92k or something. We’ve grown to live with it. Also keep in mind last time BG made a push like this we countered that night so just watch out

Well that is quite disappointing. I was ok with many of the ‘nerfs’ to my class in regards to decreasing power level in some cases, but I wasn’t ok with ruining the flow of the game play for me. That and some bugs/poor design that are applying things when they shouldn’t and are most likely causing their changes to have the opposite of intended effects.

So basically these changes are forcing people to babysit objectives, micro manage siege, and basically do un-fun time wasting things instead of fighting players. Sounds like a pretty bad patch and will negatively impact our matchup.

Everyone complains about zerg balls and ANET is making zergs split up, it seems. So…nay still? I truly am glad I don’t work for anet. They simply can’t win, no matter how carefully they think things through.

Nah, it’s been keeping the zerg together more than ever. You can zerg through a tower and flip it before anyone can show up to defend it. Unless, of course, you’ve managed to convince some poor sods to sit there all day babysitting the tower instead of going out and earning wxp and the like.

Some people actually enjoy scouting it may sound shocking to you but if you ask people will scout and they won’t complain some enjoy it as they can multi task etc. Just because you don’t want to scout doesn’t mean its not a viable change so please stop complaining about it this especially after you made a thread about this specific change.

I enjoyed scouting. For example on home borderlands I’d be all over the place, and if swords popped up I’d rush over and call in reinforcements if necessary. You can’t do that anymore. Instead of scouting you need to park somewhere and wait. You become a sentry instead of a scout. Scouting (for me) was being mobile and responsive. Sentry duty now is static. If your tower doesn’t get attacked, hey, fun night keeping those ACs up, right? Shoot a rabbit maybe…

Must not scout right cause if your sitting in a tower scouting you are delaying any possible chance of reacting lol. If you get golem rushed you can’t respond soon as they hit your gate or they will be either in lord (of tower) or on inner of a keep by the time you can possible react.

You apparently need to get caught up on current events. Before they added the 30 second delay to "x"s coming up it was safer to scout in a mobile fashion, and if the “X” appeared somewhere I could react to that quickly and still (likely) be in time to marshall a response as needed. Now, with the “X” not showing for 30 seconds, if they show at a tower someone isn’t sitting in odds are it’s already too late. That’s the point. You need someone on any entrance to a structure now in order to defend it properly where before you had the liberty of being mobile and responsive.

5 Golems with a 30second reaction time the gate is either almost down or is gone by the time you relay. Thus mobile scouting can’t be the only means of protecting a tower or keep.

Now, no, you’re right… it’s not. However “back in the day” (2 days ago) it was much more effective. The “5 golem rush” was the exception, not the norm, so if an “X” appeared on Crag more often than not I could get there, see what’s happening (if anything) and let people know. If Crag is fortified and they have a few rams on the gate we’ll have time to react. Now there’s a good chance that the gate is mostly down, drastically reducing or eliminating response time. In order to muster a good defense now we need to keep people planted in structures/camps we want to defend. Responding to the “X” now is much more likely too late than it was.

5 sup rams you have the gate below 50% by the time scout gets there and you can easily stop the scout from getting in. It really doesn’t matter what you hit the tower with 30 seconds of anything someone really wants the keep/tower response will be too late honestly.

Everyone complains about zerg balls and ANET is making zergs split up, it seems. So…nay still? I truly am glad I don’t work for anet. They simply can’t win, no matter how carefully they think things through.

Nah, it’s been keeping the zerg together more than ever. You can zerg through a tower and flip it before anyone can show up to defend it. Unless, of course, you’ve managed to convince some poor sods to sit there all day babysitting the tower instead of going out and earning wxp and the like.

Some people actually enjoy scouting it may sound shocking to you but if you ask people will scout and they won’t complain some enjoy it as they can multi task etc. Just because you don’t want to scout doesn’t mean its not a viable change so please stop complaining about it this especially after you made a thread about this specific change.

The WP auto contests when tagged but the white swords don’t trigger on the keep for 30seconds. I.e the Keep wp is useless once its tagged.

I haven’t been in WvW yet, but my guildmates tell that this is not the case and that they can use the waypoint for those 30 seconds.

Meaning that every 3 minutes they get a free 30 seconds to port in.

I was dealing with it earlier today it contested the wp 30seconds before white swords showed up.

so pretty much we will still have the same response times for keeps as normal due to way point. hmm yea still not worth crying over.

Yea it pretty much just makes scouting even more important you can’t just rely on them because 30seconds of anything with golems on it the gate is either almost down or down.

SoR showing NA dominance so far!
Can we keep it close during NA? Or will we fall behind!

12k lead Huge night of NA prime and the new patch has some interesting changes to how the match will be played.

I guess that’s an issue if you had lots of alts, and either had a lot of time to run them all through the jumping puzzle, or were able to get portals for them.

Are you asserting that a large fraction of your siege came from people who were using alts to run the jumping puzzle multiple times per day? If that’s the case, I’m not sure that I agree this is a problem. Arguably, this change is a fix to a problem.

In any event, the change should affect your opponents just as much as it affects you. If you can’t drop siege as freely because you don’t have an army of alts supplying you, that means your opponents can’t do it either.

Less time spent on alts hopefully means more time spent on mains. This is probably a good thing.

-ken

My issue with it is if siege can be dropped as they stated was intended then why make this change as well? Simply put it makes no sense to change one this late in game after saying it was intended.

Snowreap.5174:

the siege was soulbound before. making it account-bound is an improvement.

are you saying that you can no longer drop siege in order to give it to others? you were previously able to do this when siege was soulbound so I don’t see why making it account-bound would change anything.

-ken

The Jump puzzle chests are now account bound i.e one per account. Which put’s an immense strain on siege due to its costs.

Snowreap.5174:

what is it exactly that you’re complaining about? did they remove siege from the jumping puzzle loot table?

-ken

It’s now account bound. I.E pretty much removes any chance of stocking your self and others through the JP ports.

BulletNG.7069:

Really? People find anything to complain about these days… Go kill people, get drops and badges, purchase siege, profit. Stop complaining about such miniscule things!

I have tons of badges thats besides the point. Wasting badges on siege when there are other methods that were fine coupled with the fact that anyone who uses a lot of siege won’t be able to maintain their output with how much they can get with badges. I would spend roughly 75g a week on siege alone without jump puzzle siege.

It doesn’t matter how much you tag. It’s simply going to be a bigger money sink than it already is. Not to complain but I don’t really understand why you would do this 10 months into the game or however long it is. It’s become a staple for commanders to support their offensive/defensive pushes. I personally go through almost 40 of each blueprint (not counting trebs or golems) a night leading 4hrs a night. That’s a lot of gold and badges that suddenly has to be attained through gold instead of through other means where a server can come together.

Honestly I don’t see why they would do this at this point in the game because we already lose money just upgrading in WvW. The drop’s aren’t good enough to sustain having to pay for both siege and upgrades on everything. I’d be ok with it if they had given us a way to acquire siege that is easy or not as expensive but honestly if you go through a lot of siege you pretty much have to have guildies or friends donate or you will run out fairly quick.

Disclaimer: I was torn between posting this in Players helping players, or WvW. I chose WvW as its most related.

If you are suffering from glitched upgrades after a reset, I may have just stumbled across a cure.

Our hills got stuck on reinforced gates with both workers standing around unwilling to ferry supply to continue the upgrade. I was messing around and gave the workers [Empower] and [Symbol of swiftness] and one of them started moving again! Now this is by no means scientific, but I just figured I would post exactly what I did (which is gave the workers might and swiftness) in-case other people are having the same issue. I would hazard a guess and say it was the swiftness that did it, but I cant be 100% sure.

Its worth a try Hopefully this bug can be fixed by ANET soon.

If you greet them they unbug.

One last score update before I go to bed!

Was a fun night mucking around!

That two min notice on a new build haha.

Organized a few multi map pushes. It was tons of fun

The Late night gang strikes again!

JQ 230 at the end of SEA time? where’s your FOO now?

Wheres our FOO? Has to be stupidest thing I have ever heard, FOO is still there and fighting but if you have all of BG force pushing even FOO can’t stop them all. But I would like to point out after 1 night of ppt leading against us and the point gap for 1st place decreasing. The trolls start comming out, I only have one thing to say to BG. You still have the rest of the week to keep pushing and so do we.

I look forward to it actually it should be fun and crazy fights rather than a match decided by the weekend. I think everyone is looking forward to it. Oh and not to mention our PvE force is getting a little mad they aren’t getting those usual buffs
