Guild Wars 2

How could someone wants a passive 100% uptime buff that punishes people dealing damage while doing NOTHING in return? I know some people like running 30 guards/wars but guys, is that any fun?

The coordination requiered is running massive amounts of warriors and guardians with correct spec, there is no counter to it. This is the worst buff design.

WyldKat.4712:

I never notice retal being a problem. IF it seems like it can be a problem, I stop attacking for a bit.

So basically in massive team fights you never attack, right?

Toroxus.9256:

I’m a full boon duration guardian in WvW with a complete Giver’s set and Winter accessories. I can keep Retaliation up 50% of the time, but because I have only ~800 power, it does ~250 damage. I use “Stand Your Ground!” for the stability since the Retaliation is negligible.

Sorry but you’re doing it wrong.

genowefapigwa.5769:

Retaliation is ok . Solve zerg or Ac issue

Retal is far form being ok.

Internal cooldown on it would solve the problem.

Gahn.8150:

iorlas.6721:

The solution is simple.. do the same with retaliation as they did with confusion.ie.make it useless.

Yup nerf everything and let’s play who got more numbers on auto attack!

That’s already the case. Confusion was dealing with auto-attacks zergs, not retaliation.

Gahn.8150:

Get some toughness all you paper dpers

wassup bro

I can sell Doiid build for 200golds, pm in game!

DevonCarver.5370:

Just wanted to drop by to say we had fun running around with you guys yesterday, even when we stumbled into a GvG match and started fighting. It was good fun!

We’re still waiting for you to run with us sometimes!

Oh wait, it already looks like T1.

Free tranfers to all Tier1/Tier2 servers!

Cornholio.1567:

The videos is always about one guild on its best, and a mix of the best fights they had thro the day/week/month.
So if you gonna call someone pathetic for that then pls gtfo of here. Not to say you are not even in siN so it rly dosnt give you any right to call anyone pathetic, you brown noser.

Anyhow looks llike we are stuck for another match up again, gonna be…..nvm.

Even if you put your best fights, you don’t call a video after your guildname (XX vs siN or whatever) when you’re just zerging with the full zone. I just watched the first fight tho, but it’s just a zerg fest. That’s how most guilds (respect to others) run in Piken anyways.

I have a couple of serious questions.
1. Did the person that came up with the math for this graduate from high school.
2. To prove it, please upload a copy of your high school diploma.

How about just a copy of their resume. I don’t see his high school experience on there. Hopefully the other stuff can count as relevant experience for your assessment.

Thank you so much for the laugh!

“During this time DR’s population didn’t change one bit”, are you working @Anet to make such asumptions? Seems my logic is flawed obviously when there are tons of other bad examples.

“1) The current ratings of servers are valid. They are not because we are not getting enough varied match-ups to even generate valid data. Trying to judge the quality of a server based on their current rating is much like judging the quality of people’s Reddit posts by the average # of up-votes they get.”

This is the game design you made for WvW, the only way to judge a server ranking is their coverage. I’m glad you realise it is bad.
Thing is, a Tier2 server won’t compete against a Tier1 one, same for all tiers. You know who could beat upper tier servers? The winner of previous one, which make winner goes up, loser down still a better option than this.

The new rating system you’re attempting could work on one or two days matchup, when coverage is less effective.

Another fail, good job. RNG on ratings, awesome.

Become even deadlier in The Mists with new World vs. World abilities like Burning Oil Mastery or new ranks in Defense Against Guards!

CANT WAIT !

Welcome VoTF! Let’s build massive arrow carts together.

Even openfields battle are now “run to a keep behind AC” or “drop arrow carts” and build it faster than others, awesome.

Worldwide.5324:

No skill or ability in any MMORPG should affect an unlimited number of players in Player versus Player (PvP) even in a small area. There should always be a limit to the number of players that any single cast can affect. Whether it be a crowd control spell, knockback, knockdown, Area of Effect (AoE) damage over time or AoE direct damage cast, all of them should have a limit. If there is no limit, the cast is over powered.

Thank you for these divine words.

Caliban.3176:

sostronk.8167:

Just accept it dude. Stop spending time categorising and counting posts on an internet forum and go think about how to adapt your strategies to the new build. Its here to stay regardless of what you say, so there is no point wasting your time on this kind of stuff.

Why would I adapt to something that is clearly broken? You make no sense.

You don’t even need to make a poll, almost all organized guilds dislike this AC change and will also dislike the fix they will do.

Real problems are scrubyscrubs posting feedbacks when most of them don’t actually use the mastery, use superior arrow carts and/or post feedbacks when they only face one arrow cart.
Beside the damage, the range is the worst thing happening. Aneu was kind posting only 12 AC on hills, with some little zoomhack etc you can have more than 15 hitting the gate.

Would be nice if some organized guild could make a video of a full arrow cart defense, but I guess everyone is too lazy to stand in a siege weapon for hours

I can’t find anything rational buffing a Siege Weapon that can be exploited without any external program. This makes AC totally broken by stacking them and being able to out LoS everything.

No, they expect you to grind 1900 ranks on all characters.

So much AC lovers that can’t defend a keep with their own character, quite sad.

All past GvG there:

DevonCarver.5370:

The AoE limit is due to technical limitations.

Do you want to reply to a very prominent problem? ie: Arrowcarts.

Also, how does siege have a limit of 50 people when there are “technical limitations” that stop players from having an aoe limit of 50? I call kitten

I was wondering the same thing for quite long now.

Maybe remove all sieges so we can play our characters?

Sad part is that almost everything there has already been suggested. This waste of space on WvW maps is sad, I still can’t believe Speldan area in EB is just a supply camp. It’s such a nice spot to fight (if you remove pve mobs, lol). Water in Borderlands should not even exist.
Moving NW/NE towers on BL maps to extreme NW/NE could give more space to fight, you always have a close spot to hide yourself which is extremely annoying. There are also too much objectives in EB, 4 towers per camp, what’s the point? As long as feedbacks are filled by guys that don’t have a clue except standing on their arrow carts 24/7, I don’t think things will change.

Tried to gather some WvW guildmasters thoughts about changes that should be made to discuss with Anet but some good friend made me realize they probably made more money with people buying quaggan backpack than every WvW active player, so why bothering that much. TESO is already a fail and more than 2 years for CU. Bad times.

This arrow cart is so fail. 50 cap player limit (which definitely makes lag if they argue that they can’t remove the 5-man limit on players AoE), too much range and damage.

We want to use our characters to beat zergs, not kittening Arrow Carts kitten

That was quite awesome sportsmanship tonight on PS map with guilds waiting and not adding on fights, props to HoB, Scnd, DsD, BuLL & sorry if I forgot anyone. Faith in WvW restored!

Sorry we don’t have any anukadin in our guild.

A lot of Piken Square guilds do this as well, same for DsD and siN from Baruch Bay. That’s quite amazing to see guilds not addings to almost even fights and so on.

We had an idea about a month (or less) tournament with guilds interested transfering into a lower tier. Still needs to develop it!

Can someone help Mighty Ice Arrow please? Some serious issues there.

Actually, if you use the autoattack cancel on target changes it’s quite normal to spam #1.

Zumos.2056:

People in RG were sick of the 100 man blobs and the stupid skill-lag it creates. That’s why we went to AR, because we want good fights.

So lets get this straight… A British guild (RG) has moved to a French realm cos theyre sick of the 100 man blobs.

If u had bothered to read any of the matchup threads from the past 4 or 5 weeks u will see that AR is famous for blobbing to epic proportions, usually around 80 man blobs is normal. Therefore either your research on AR was extremely bad or ur lying why u have moved to a high pop realm which is famous for blobbing.

To be fair RS had the largest blobs and thankfully they have dropped a tier.

RGs realm hopping looks more like they outstay their welcome to me…

Can you please think about what u’re saying? If we want to fight guilds and not blobs, that’s quite normal that we join the server that blob. This way we can have proper fights with other guilds that dont. Also, from what I’ve seen since we transfered, all servers tend to blob a bit. I heard that it happened to Piken due to Riverside doing it a lot.
Beside that, had a lot of fights without adds against some PS and BB guilds, really fun and intense. Keep it up!

What happened to the small scale Piken?

Yeah shame on him for not knowing ANet were going to allow free transfers to No1 server in EU at the same time and giving WvW rewards and turn it to mince…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jP9BtScBQaI

Yes, indeed, it is the fault of free transfers that you can not get in WvW when there is no queue…

http://i.imgur.com/hJV4nW2.jpg

You realize there is no queue anymore since guilds left and others are just waiting for this mess to be over?

Thanks to the VOTF guys for gvg tonight. Good fights.

Indeed, was very close! Great fights.

To us this ended with 6 – 5 to RG (not including the fight on top of the spectators) so great fights to RG. Its a shame you guys called it we could have ended up even

Famous internal count Good job anyway that was cool.

Friends, please do not put me in this alliance delirium, thank’s =)

i rather delete my character and explode my own computer than sending Desolation to build an alliance. It’s a total nonsense

Lies Troma, we did a tits4troma event to persuade you to ally with us. You seemed quite happy with Deso boobs then.

fixed !

Very sweet you took notice I left, didn’t think I would be missed that much!

More relief that you’re gone, but everyone misses Deso’s favourite troll. I hope that SFR is everything you could have hoped for and server meetings are worth squirming your way into. Enjoy while it lasts… SFR will be come the next BT and history repeats itself, but you already have experience of that.

Pryda.8257:

You look mad mate, seems you were not worth a single tity

Never wanted them anyway, Desolation is already like the Heaven of 72 Virgins.

I might join then, any pics?

I think she was already attending SFR meetings while she was in Deso, sneaky spy tbh!

Papawan.1952:

Genev.2450:

Not sure I should like that that’s done after somebody says “Needs more jokers” :p
This isn’t really my type of discussion though, you’ll have to find somebody else!

I’m surprised that you haven’t eagerly changed your forum signature to RG/SFR yet. It was inevitable that a fangirl like you were going to join them. Now you can finally be another elitest SFR troll instead of a classless Deso tourist complaining about the server – good riddance.

P.S How much tits4sacryx does it cost to get into RG?

You look mad mate, seems you were not worth a single tity

Looks like VS weekly wednesday raid is now live: a huge blob (not less than 50-60) is tearing apart all the maps, focusing green points. I’m okay with that, but beeing outmanned at this time of day is sad thing.
But 2vs1 is more saddest. Like that
http://i.imgur.com/okge9AQ.jpg
poor VS guys can’t capture the tower alone, so brave and kind IRON helps them. Many times.

I’m quoting this particular screenshot because I took a couple myself during that fight –

Look at how much we’re helping Viz… by, er, taking them on ourselves and trying to take the tower… teamwork! Um…

Nice to see viz is back.
Hope we can meet you in full force next week

I’m not Viz, I’m Deso.

You know, for a change I’d like to have some 500-men asian WvW guild whose primetime is 8-12AM CET to join us. Oh the fun….

I wouldn’t be too enamoured with it. If they join quickly, they’ll leave quickly too – November/December wasn’t a fun time.

Don’t get pull by his post, it’s was obvious that you were about to go inside the tower to take it instead of VS. I hope you did!

That source for your quote?

No source sorry. If you wanna wait as much as we waited for the culling fix, feel free to blob.

you realize that the biggest blob we’ve ever encountered is the RG+SiN+pugs blob right?

Guess why you met it?

Anet already stated they can’t fix the skill lag. So yeah, better kitten on blobs than asking Anet to do something since they won’t.
