Guild Wars 2

So let me get this straight, someone was in a PvP zone, trying to do a JP which rewards them with badges and siege for PvP, and were then killed due to PvP ?

This is an outrage and completely shocking behavior.

In other news, several teams lost SPvP games today, and mobs minding their own business were ganked in PvE.

Ppl on TC advertised for PvE, so that’s where Ppl go. Met a few good Ppl on TC to run dungeons with, if there’s another server as pve centric then I would be happy to guest there.

Well I can’t see into the future but, for those wondering NSP won’t fall below T7. In fact I would be surprised if they don’t dominate T7. Also … bad form SF highjacking the recruitment from the 2 servers that need transfers.

Well I hope you guys can work it out, you seem like a decent guy Rob and I can also say when Ronny was on AR I had fun running with him.

Just hope things work out for both parties.

I doubt it would be back to AR, I personally don’t have anything against Ronny or TCMM, but coming back to AR would not be a wise choice in terms of enjoyment. I think there would be a lot of animosity towards TCMM, and I’m sure they would have animosity towards some other AR guilds.

Then again I could be completely wrong as I’m still unsure of what provoked the transfer to begin with.

Not a QQ, just curious if this is a thought for the future?

Its not game breaking or anything that I feel should be implemented tomorrow, I’m just curious if its in the cards.

I haven’t seen a game go retroactive yet, its shocking how many people were hoping it would.

Don’t take this wrong, I would love for it to be retroactive but it certainly should not be a surprise that it won’t be.

I’m sure they will as well, I was just curious if I had missed a patch note somewhere.

Have they confirmed that new maps will be added ?

Sorry Oozo, as someone who plays off hours and lives in NA, there is no way in hell your going to post anything to convince me that this suggestion is anything but stupid. If he doesn’t like people playing off hours maybe he should adjust his schedule to defend the off hours.

I get what your saying but population but, its quite clear by transfer prices that they cannot gauge WvW population vs. server population in any shape or form.

Just leave it as is.

Laughable thread.

I work more than 40 hours a week, have a full course load in college, and living with my girlfriend, chances are I’m busy at peak hours.

I’m sorry my life doesn’t revolve around videogames and that I have to actually feel sunlight on my skin.

It’s amazing that you want to punish people that have things to do, I won’t even begin to address the obvious silliness of punishing those outside of the US.

Just because you don’t play at those hours does not mean that a whole lot of us do. Stop being so self centered.

What time you play is your business. Fact is if you chose to play at a time when there are no one defending any keep taking efforts your effort whatever it was should not count as much as 50+ people’s effort who took that keep in prime time. Why should you be rewarded dis-proportionally just because you play when no one else is around? Funny how you people calling me self centered when you are the ones who want the system work in your favor at everyone else and game’s expense.

So people who play later then you should be punished because everyone doesn’t play when they want them to … basically what you just said. Your time is more important, I beg to differ, its not our fault others don’t play during off hours … maybe we should punish prime time for not playing off hours. More or less what your suggesting, and I bet you can see how stupid that sounds.

For argument sake lets say they did this, now who’s prime time ? The west coast or east coast ?

This is just a terrible idea with flaws all over the place.

Hey Anvil! Step up your game. The score’s s’posed to be closer than this. It’s creeping me out.

After the patch everyone just vanished so I think its safe to say the majority are out doing … whatever the new stuff is.

Doesn’t really matter, were not going anywhere, we will be here next week. I hope DH has improved a bit, the last time was dissapointing, I would prefer GoM TBH, they may lose but they do it with style.

Stealth would need fixing, any thief/mesmer worth their weight would not cry and work around any changes. Good thieves don’t even typically go for perma stealth, its generally the bad players that push 2-3 buttons and think its skill, that would complain.

Well in a way, its what people have been asking for. It does cut down the zerg sizes if you don’t want to be noticed, and for the smaller servers its actually better for you. If you can’t field 25+ then you have nothing to worry about.

I will agree 15 would be a better number but really, this is nothing but good for the smaller populations.

While I think 25 is a bit high, I think its a step in the right direction. People actually have to scout … kittening games have gone to kitten in the last few years, it seems the new generation gamers can’t do kitten without training wheels.

I don’t know this Ele you speak of, I generally run around solo tbh. I just think its funny that everytime someone has a beef they resort to the “1 vs. 1 Me so I can show you I have more skillz” argument, I blame WoW personally.

I prefer the bike racks, however they won’t be implemented until the WvW patch which has now been postponed until August … I will see you in August.

Imo we should all just duel daily because I hear it matters and will win us the respect of our peers.

Grow up.

Patience. A commander is only as good as his/her squad, treat them like kitten and you are just a person that spent 100g.

It doesn’t matter where people go at this point, months (that should not have happened) of free transfer have pretty much perma screwed WvW. Yes people can still go where they want for cash but the damage is done, and Anet should be ashamed.

Gems is a bad idea, many will use them for gold instead, and if Anet is giving away free gold … well I want some too, you see what happens ?

Its a shame to see NSP move down, you guys could have put up more of a fight, I’ve seen it (even after you lost alot of your night crew) its kinda sad to see you guys give up to move down. I don’t mean that as an insult, I really did enjoy fighting NSP they have more character then BP. As much as ppl hate them/talk kitten about them PAXA was always fun fights and I wish it was 10 years ago when I had a 8/5 man and time to fight on a regular basis. Hope you guys find some small man fights in T7.

The rest of NSP will be missed as well, TCMM I never really figured out why you left but I’m sure you had your reasons and I wish you all the best, had a good time for the most part running with you all before you jumped ship ;p.

OS, I don’t really know any of you, I generally run solo due to time constraints but the few times I have fought several of you it was fun and I didn’t mind giving you some loots because there was no emoting that I can remember after said murder.

All in all, as much of a troll as I can be, you will be missed and I wish you all the best regardless of claiming that the red BL was yours and not AR’s secondary BL. \

I know its premature but GL if you do indeed end up in T7, say hello to GoM and go easy on them, their a fine bunch of peeps.

I like the idea, but I do see room for improvements. Now you need to people like Thieves/Rangers to scout the map and others to keep watch on keeps/towers, the issue is … the land scouts will probably find fights along the way, the keeps/towers sit around with no incentive. They need to make it worth while to guard Keeps/Towers even with no enemies in the area, now how they would do that so people don’t just AFK and collect whatever the incentive may be is beyond me.

I also believe that 25 might be to much, 15 would be a better number.

They will implement a message to let us know it won’t happen till April ?

Actually yes, there are 5 mans, and yes, they do succeed. Sure when its 5 vs. 30 they retreat and kill over extenders, but 5 vs. 10 is doable and happens frequently. I believe Oozo actually has some video’s in his sig for your viewing pleasure.

Now if they ever lift the AoE limit … fun times will occur.

Well, although it wasn’t you Rob, there were a few calling out AR for the last weeks match. I’m sure they managed to kitten off quite a few people on AR which in turn means some individuals who may have taken the insults to heart will do whatever they can to crush NSP because of the ignorance of a few.

I’m just assuming this is the case, I can’t actually confirm it, but in the future maybe those that were spouting crap should try and refrain or accept what happens next.

Again this is not directed at you Rob and I’m only guessing this is now whats happening. Its unfortunate that it seems BP is also hitting NSP.

I have a screenshot from a prominent AR commander stating that I was the sole reason why BP and AR were working together this week to attack NSP. Sadly, people don’t want the truth to come out, and It will get reported immediately as character assassination/personal attack if I were to post it again.

I think you are really looking past the point though. I really hate to be humble or modest or whatever you want to call it, but do you honestly think that I have the ability to irritate so many people, or is this a matter of what is wrong with the many people that got so upset over what I said?

In reality, this is a game, and for me to get the reaction that I did from stating facts, is quite absurd. If any of the people that got upset are classified as leaders, they should be embarrassed by their representation of that server. Personally, if I were on a server and there were leaders were to give that big of a reaction, I would most likely leave entirely out of embarrassment of having them represent in such a way on the official forums.

The only thing that so far has been proven this week is that everything I had said last week was completely true.

I honestly don’t know if its the case, I haven’t played yet since reset due to busy work schedule. If you managed to kitten off the right commander or commanders then ya I could see it being the reason, they will lead with a goal in mind and people will follow.

I would tend to think it was the Coat tails comments more then anything, that and you seem to really want to poke 2G as much as possible, I guess its working because from his post it seems he’s set on punishing NSP for whatever you did/said. He’s a strong commander and people follow him so his agenda while he’s on will definately sway everyones agenda. Whatever he and the other commanders are doing so far seems to be working so I give him props regardless of what his reasoning is.

While Kain was on its warpath just before free transfers ended they were only high population, the population count has little to do with WvW. Just because a server may have a lower population does not mean they don’t have a huge WvW following.

As many others have already said, you don’t want another server, it would only be worse.

Naw not a huge night crew, just a bunch of dedicated thurday night/friday morning players. Can’t kitten about that honestly, it would be nice if we had that. It works and calling them out for it is just poor taste. Kinda like that guy that I don’t even take note of his name because he QQ’s about coat tails and what not when he starts to lose. You know, the nobody that makes NSP look bad.

Its a JP … I doubt many Ppl actually care.

Its a good idea if your willing to fight superior numbers but not so good if you want to fight other small mans. The reason being, all the other small mans in this tier are also on NSP.

Nice to see NSP on a rampage, wtf did they all come from ? Anyways, lets see if you can keep it up all week. NSP deserves a win imo, its been awhile, but whatever they are doing is working.

No, our tier is the most balanced tier in the game, we would like to keep it that way. This should absolutely NOT be implemented, Anet kittened up and left free transfers go on way to long, they are responsible for this not the servers so they need to figure out a way to fix it without hurting the tiers more then they already have.

Its a very nice tier, as PAXA said there is zergs but its not a constant 24/7 zerg fest, the tier itself has been pretty stable. I think this would be good for the tier and those people who like to run small mans, I think currently (and I’m sure PAXA can verify) NSP has a couple constant small mans, I don’t think either BP or AR have any set small mans. I would personally like to see more small mans on AR.

Its been said numerous times, the new culling sucked the first time and it still sucks now. Yet they haven’t ditched it … I sometimes wonder if Anet plays their own game.

As I said I don’t care I expect to be AJ, but don’t come here crying about zergs or whatever Jsculls next QQ of the hour will be. Your as guilty as the zergs. Sure it happened alot in DAoC, but 8v8 generally didn’t AJ another 8 man fighting a zerg, unless said 8 man had done something (such as AJ previously) to warrant the actions. I’m fine with it if thats the way you play, your entitled to play that way, but it is not going to help your cause with getting more small mans out giving you fair fights.
kitten if you do and kitten if you don’t.

Thanks for having enough pride to answer which 5 man [tag] you run in.

There was no [tag], as I stated in the last few weeks, I have limited time to play. It was a PuG, but fairly easy to tell (regardless of tag) when its 5vMany. PAXA are the ones who asked in our previous threads for me to get a 5 man going. We did what we could to accommodate that request.

I (or anyone for that matter) should have been panning and watching our rear so that fault was ours, but I will admit I was shocked when I realised it was PAXA that hit us considering we fought you 5v5 15-20 min before that.

We will be more attentive the next time, but tell me, whats the difference between being in the zerg and running in to kill with the zerg ? You may as well just run with them at that point. Ya I’m a little pissy about it due to the fact that we were winning the fight against the mini zerg and also because I have stuck up for PAXA’s play style from Day 1 so it was kind of a slap in the face.

No tags makes it difficult to gauge who your fighting, on the other hand it was pretty clear we were outnumbered already and were sporting only 5.

Well my rant is done, I’m sure we will run into each other again.

Meh, we ran 5 and hit PAXA was close, they pulled a win. 20 min later were still running 5 come across about 15 and we start laying waste. Things are going good the 15 are dying fast then all of a sudden we start dropping, at first everyone figured meh squished between mini zergs. Nope, turns out it was PAXA AJ’ing our uphill battle, this is why you guys will not get many chances to fight 5 vs. 5.

There is absolutely nothing worse then a 5/8 man (depending on game) who is eager to find 5 mans to fight, but is willing to AJ another 5 man as they fight clearly 2-3X their numbers.

This was friday night, and it saddens me. Oh and to clear it up, I don’t care about being AJ’d, but it makes a world of difference when its the guys asking for small mans to fight.

defrule.7236:

If it took 15 minutes to get from one keep to another, zerging would be counterproductive because you would lose 5 keeps for every 1.

Wow, I really don’t think anyone anywhere ever said it should take 15 min to get from keep to keep, but 30 seconds ? The idea is, it would mean zergs and players would actually have to think about what to do, do they run to the N keep or the S keep, do they split the zerg into two small zergs and hit both. Right now WvW requires very little in the way of tactics.

Counter productive is whats happening right now.

I don’t think its the Zerg in particular, its more the culling, maps so small that avoiding a zerg every 5 feet is next to impossible. Culling needs to be fixed and this new culling has got to go. The map size … I doubt they will do anything about it but as long as they remain small, Zerging really doesn’t use any tactics, just run to the next keep/tower/supply and lay waste, after all its only 30 seconds away.

Zergs are not forced to make choices, everything is within spitting distance. Its mind numbing.

Currently I’m running full clerics (everything weapons/armor/jewelry). I’m happy with my support and sustained damge aspect of things, but my health … well I’m sure I don’t have to explain where my health is at with only the Soldiers backpack for Vit.

What do other Ele’s run with to maybe improve health a bit ? Is there a healing power digit I shouldn’t go below as a support ?

Suggestions or Ideas on what I could switch out, currently I’m sitting at 1472 Healing Power.

This is for PvE Dungeons more then anything.

Nice, so how far do you plan on going with this ? Waiting for day 3.

Awesome, Anet should probably sticky it somewhere within the forums so you can add on as you go. (TBH they should probably pay you, your doing a better job keeping the WvW spirit alive then their own employees are currently).

There is alot we all would like to see happen, but you will have to wait for March, possibly April, pretty sure no longer then May, but defeinately no longer then June, oh hell when is ESO coming out ? Anet will have the patch ready a week before then.

Pretty sure at this point Anet sold their souls to Bioware and its the SWtoR team now calling the shots.

Omaris Mortuus Est.2738:

AoE is AoE, limiting it to 5 means it is no longer AoE.

This sums it up nicely, AoE, Area of Effect, not Effect partial Area. Anet need to stop catering to people that are to stupid to move out of the warning circle. I don’t think any game I have played has even given warning circles and yet this one has them and they still put a cap on AoE.

I don’t know who they are trying to cater to but its getting kittening stupid. Even a casual should be smart enough to move out of the red circle. E-sport my kitten

The box should have a disclaimer on it “if you IQ is higher then 5 then GW2 is to easy for you”

Very nice, you should look into making a novel. Kudos, I’m looking forward to day 2.

Its actually pretty funny when there is a Ronny sighting, you can actually watch the zerg stop, drop what they are doing, then turn and B-Line for Ronny. Its almost like its a race to see who can get to him first.

Entertaining, but still wish him all the best.

Not surprised, I have come to expect dissapointment when it comes to gaming companies, what is shocking, however, is how many of them just keep repeating the same mistakes over and over and over and over and over and …..

Its sad watching so many companies go down this road.
