Guild Wars 2

Zerk rifle is fun spec. Not op, have alot of disadvantages, but fun.

TK Takaishi.6270:

Does a full (or near full) tank warrior have any place in WvW? For any aspect? Always wanted to be a huge meatshield, but unfortunately I don’t believe they have a role in anything in Guild Wars

Tank have the place in WvW.
First role – heavy frontline, 0-0-30-20-20, melandru runes, hammer+1h sword+warhorn. You role is going in front, CC with hammer, eat damage, clear condi with warhorn traits, blasts on regroups, etc.
Second role – heavy support, 0-0-25-30-15, soldier runes, 2-3 shouts, hammer+1h sword+warhorn. Condi cleanse+healing on run, frontline CC, blasts.
In any spec you need 25k+ hp and 2800+ armor.

SoRdor SoRdor SoRdor.

SoRdor?

Windoor is coming.

>Phantasmal, why you wasting our supply in the keep?
>Hurr, i pay for game and i can play for my enjoyment!

>Phantasmal, why you yelling at us while we play for our enjoyment?
>Hurr, you play wrong way, stop doing that!
Oh, the irony.

Seigfried.5938:

To SoR, I don’t know if you guys are taking it easy on us and TC, but I think with transfers open again, you guys have one hell of a match coming up with BG. BG is currently trouncing JQ and DB and their points are nearly equal to yours even though you are fighting two very weak servers in comparison to JQ and DB(JQ especially). This morning BG was ticking 525 :O

Good. We will see how good they are. Current matchup is unfair and i personally feel bad and apologize for the chaos caused by our presence in T2. T1 needs better competition, and we willing to bring it back.

Standard shout support spec. If you comfortable with movement impairing effects, swap runes for soldiers. Banners totally uneffective atm, only good one is elite, and only because of res.

Hot Boy.7138:

I only solo roam in WvW, and I’m sure other solo roamers could probably attest to this too, but most WvWers, specifically zerglings, are scrubs at playing their class and are an easy kill any time they’re caught outside of their zerg. And I’m totally baffled by all the people saying they would kitten the people that mostly do structured pvp. This is the skill order in this game. Spvpers > PvEers > NPCs > WvWers (zerglings). Again, this is only my opinion that is based on my experience as being a solo roamer for the last 7 months.

Lol, i can’t even facepalm, because facepalm is not enough to express the absurdity of this statement. Have you ever heard about the difference between roaming and zerg specs?

^ This. Also I have to add that such players must be from the tPvP top, because if a player has a win rate of 1 to 1 or worse, it is difficult to expect the better performance from him in other kinds of activities. Good player can adapt and perform good anywhere, bad player will stay bad. tPvP experience by itself means almost nothing.

^ Mr.Adelbern, login to your main account plz.

Voicer.8239:

I really dislike IRON comment that SoR was the only1 that didnt offer help for transfers. You just made us and others look bad for no reason and lost some respect from enemys, if you care about it and I rly think you dont, mb bc the concept is a lil bit to much for you to understand. We are all the same bro, you’re better than no1. Sorry if you cant see that.

This answer was not intended to offend anyone, it was made as a clarification that no one bought our transfer to SoR. We chose the weakest server (in terms of points) in the top three, and only because it was the weakest, and not because someone offered or did not offer money.

BTW, one of WvW classic spots.

Nice suggestions, almost all of them, but for the love of god, please stop asking about increased AoE limit. Do not fix what is not broken.

Smallest charr/norn is actually on par with humans. Size difference is not that big, it’s more a subjective thing.

SNEEKI.4693:

kefro.9312:

not paying guilds to come here

IRON

Awesome guild ,well worth the coin

BTW, when we looked at the options and suggestions about moving to various NA servers, SoR was the only server that did not offer us the money to compensate for relocation expenses.

Pryda.8257:

Remove all Arrow Carts that deal damage to 50 guys! Problem solved

I remember alot of fights with absurd skill lag and without any siege.

Vis.8471:

Exactly, we all know that. But just make the stupid Norn smaller, oh and the Charr. Just make them smaller. I dont care about lore. Im done with ArenaNet having lore as their main line of defense for terrible gameplay mechanics.

I’d rather have a higher quality game than a mediocre quality piece of text and scripts of cutscenes.

About the sizes…

http://i43.tinypic.com/2naus6q.jpg

Too bad, i really miss her in gw2g.

BTW, magical destruction in this world surely can be distorted and weakened unexpectedly. As an example, the survival of Almorra Soulkeeper.

Invisty.6435:

I can fit practially anywhere.

Hmmm… Blanc Fireclaw?

^^^ 100 times this.
And 15 charrs.

Olba.5376:

Furajir.3815:

Put faster weap swap as a minor trait elsewhere.

25 in Tactics, I think.

If it was a joke, then the joke is not funny.

SharadSun.3089:

Team Thunderguard. Ranked between top 500 to top 10% NA. Axe/Shield Hammer Valkyrie Interceptor Spec.

And how much warriors in top 500 teams? And to get even more clear picture of high-end tPvP, how much warriors in top-30?

Louveepine.7630:

No … Asura … Charr … Noooo!

Be torn in two by a charr, what horrible death!

same with norn!

End terrible!

Any problems can be solved by the famous Asuran scientific genius!

Update – JQ, ty for free T3 SM

It’s awesome “doubleteam”, just farmed JQ near gates and then kitten em in JQ hills

Obsidian.1328:

But he wouldn’t have done it out of hatred and blind rage, he would have done it to save his people and his kingdom.

You know, this is a VERY odd way to save your people and kingdom, because if your kingdom is no longer have any citizens alive, it can hardly be called a kingdom. Adelbern could say “ah, hell with it, we can retreat to Kryta, eat our pride and ask for help, and after rebuilding our strength we will come back and kick those cats out of my kingdom”. But apparently he loved his power and his pride far more than his own people, and he chose to sacrifice them, to stay and rule as king of the dead, rather than ask for help.

Btw, just checked EB lions. They are look like lions (well, lionesses), not lynxes.

Zen.8497:

LethalxKiller.3571:

Can I have a score update?

http://mos.millenium.org/na/

Nah, it’s not fun. All WvW players love to make screenshots with scores and characters.

Konig Des Todes.2086:

Or lastly, my second preferred theory: invasion. There’s a lot of hostile forces out there in the Mists, the most common of which being demons – and they come in large varieties (from torment demons that thrive on chaos, to trickster demons who hate the living, or even imps that feed on magic much like Elder Dragons). It’s not unfathomable that the old world got invaded by an unknown and unexpected force. There was a lot of concept art for Utopia for a demonic army that seemed to hold ties to Menzies, but Menzies himself and his forces never dealt with demons except via the alliance with Abaddon and Dhuum (and even then, Dhuum’s the only one whose army was actual demons; Abaddon simply allied with the torment demons, it seems to me, no different than he did with Dhuum and Menzies). It wouldn’t surprise me that, given the little known of Utopia, finding this history of humanity out was the original plot of the second three chapters (ArenaNet’s original plan was to have the story of Guild Wars shown in sets of 3, each chapter being independent but linked in these trilogies; Utopia would have started the second set, but they went for Elder Dragons instead (though originally, and thank god they went against it, the Elder Dragons were to be angels and demons passing judgment on the world ._.).

You know, it’s a very interesting theory, especially if Anet wants to further develop the theme of Myst War. I have often heard joking suggestions from their friends “it would be nice if at the end of the match we could open a portal to the capital of the loser, we would be invaded and killed all those useless players who do not want to help their own world”.
But given that mortals can kill even the gods, and Myst War is constant, it is no longer seems to be a just funny joke. Old “World the Six” could lose the war with disastrous consequences, and their opponents could be quite ordinary mortals. It is not necessary to be a demon to hate and seeks to exterminate your enemy.

Obsidian.1328:

They just used his under-developed persona, as well as a few holes in the story, to create an alternate scenario where he’s some psychopath that hates life. I don’t buy it. Not at all.

Like it or not, this is the official lore. In this regard, we can point to the Warhammer 40k universe. Warhammer lore was changed many times, many fans were unhappy or disagree with this, but it did not change anything. Even if the owner will say – “the sky is pink, rain comes from the bottom up, sausages grow on trees, and the protagonist is the reincarnation of Batman” – it will be deemed 100% reliable fact within this universe.

I’m not sure that anyone should feel guilty towards ghosts. We do not even killing them.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ascalonian_ghost
“killing an Ascalonian ghost outright is difficult – attacking them only removes ectoplasm from the form until they dissipate and, after a period of time (which may vary) the ghost will simply reform”

Liquid.9672:

Waitaminute. Did I just read a post from someone who plays on SoR questioning the size of BG’s zergs?

Don’t forget main WvW forum rule, enemy always have a group/zerg/blob/megablob at least 2 times greater than yours

Sammuilee.5814:

Group of thieves that stay inside keep in stealth and wait for opportunity to kill lord.

I can’t think anything else than having group of players guarding keep lord and hope thieves get bored and leave or cover whole inner keep with stealth traps.

Any other suggestions?

Proper mesmer sweep after capture. I play WvW since first BWE and i never seen survivors after competent mesmer sweep, you just need call out location of thieves in TS and then they are dead.

Gandarel.5091:

Amongst the charr, the weaks shall die. Guardians serve the purpose of defending allies, but by charr standards, if you can’t take care for yourself, you will be outcasted or left to die.

There might be some, because guardians can fight well, but charr guardians aren’t the regular guardians.

If we follow this logic, you should not use armor, treat the wounded and so on. This is contrary to the doctrine of effective army.

You can hate your enemy, but enemy weapon is different thing, and if you smart, you always can use it for yourself. One of closest IRL examples – German rocket program after WW2, the Allies did not feel sympathy for Germany as an enemy, but that did not stop them from taking all results of the German rocket program after the war, to develop their own rocket programs.

Truga.5897:

Yeah, which is why we need something so we can despawn our own siege when we want it to. Not to mention, this would work just fine for sieges in castles/towers only, let the ones outside despawn normally.

Imagine same evil guy, who can just come to you keep before attack and despawn all your siege.

CuddleStrike.8215:

Score Update……

is not feeling very loving anymore

Hey, cheer up. If some guys act as awful, rude and totally-not-fluffy-kittens, it’s not a reason to stop being most cute and cuddly asura of BG

Without unclaim system, this suggestion will not work. Some small casual guild claims the tower, exit WvW or simply ignore the messages and bam, all NPC warnings are useless now.

Main point of this thread is increasing reward for watchmans and i fully agree with it. This is VERY important, and very unrewarding and boring task. You always need at least 5 ppl in full captured, upgraded and sieged border, and more if you have enemies here. Those guys shall get better rewards.

What is interesting, Rox’s head in these drawings looks more anatomically correct and harmonious than in the game.

Some people are clearly more talented then others. I was running for good 20 mins near bay wall, catching BG treb shots from garry (because poor guys build trebs too far and was unable to damage wall itself), until someone finally realize “oh, here is too low and irregular numbers and bay still uncontested, may be i do something wrong”. It was really fun xD

lLobo.7960:

JQ has more commanders on Southsun Cove than in all WvW maps…

I regularly see commanders in the CoF groups >_< . Some ppl just love show something “special” (at least they think so) about their characters.

Oh, you right. Here is super-secret redacted version then!

Kryyg.8576:

Stop your whining, if you like SoR that much go join them, but no one cares already. Spend more time fighting SoR less time trying to be their friends and kiss up to them.

Looks like someone mad a little bit.
Greetings from BG (and JQ little earlier) garry btw

Why not? If you have 15+ in disc, you will switch to GS after that and get back your adrenaline in no time. 15-21k finisher is good thing.

miriforst.1290:

Its not like dredge are isolationistic or anything. ;P

First, the Dredge are isolationists only in the diplomatic sense, they are not physically isolated from its neighbors. They have constant war with neighbors, and although in this case they show too much enthusiasm and amassed themselves a lot of trouble as a result – but they have also achieved notable success in the development of weapons and equipment.
Second, the part in which they reached the isolation – diplomatic, and cultural – significantly worsens their situation. Now they have a tyrannical government, civil war and big problems at the borders, where they were pushed around from all directions.

miriforst.1290:

CETheLucid

I can imagine the reaction of kryta when they find a small fraction of the canthan expansion fleet (still the largest force the continent of Tyria has seen since forever) docking up on the shores of kryta. The krytans would be like: “oh-… h-hey guys, long time no see-… Palls right?.. Guys?-…Guys??!!”. The charr would be laughing their tails off when the Canthan fleet declare Tyria a colony under the empire, that is until they realize that by Tyria they also include Ascalon and Maguuma (the shiverpeaks are cold and useless in their eyes, so that will remain terra incognita for them). It also gets awkward when they realize that if they can go from tents and loincloth to tanks in 250 years of internal turmoil and civil war, a gigantic unified empire with a good deal of a headstart under the iron fist of the canthan emperors can go even further. “Airships? Cool, we brought our inter-dimensional cruisers along. Hope you like nuclear winter by the way!.”

It would be hilarious to see the charr get beaten in their own game of conquest on the battlefield. Of course then i wouldn’t be speaking to you as a working resident of kryta, but as the loyal citizen RKC-ED-13365 helping our great empire (eternal life to the emperor) to achieve its full potential for the good of all of us and in no way supporting the rebels (may they find themselves in a pit full of kappas). “Remember, a working citizen is a happy citizen!”

I for one welcome our new canthan overlords.

Worth it though.

Would be epic if the Canthan expansion would be introduced like this, a month long occupation of the entirety of Tyria. Until we lead the colonists to rebel against their old empire.

EDIT: Or we manage to make Cantha believe we are a loyal colony (since for cantha we are not THAT important) while in reality the “occupiers” just merged with the rest of the population once they realize we got it nicer here.

I should remind you about fate of China Empire. Isolation and lack of strong external enemies with comparable technological and military capabilities – this is one of the worst things that can happen with your country. It corrupts the army to a state of internal police where command posts are sinecure for pompous aristocracy, it’s inhibits the development of technical sciences, the best stimulus for which historically have been studies for the military, it’s limits the development of a culture which is cut off from foreign cultures. Isolation means stagnation and lagging in any progress, it can not help to get stronger, only weaker.

Quaggans are cute, but i would prefer Charr anyway. Too attracted to idea of belly rubs

Vol.5241:

-10,000 WvW kills
-90 laurels
-50 guild commendations
-dungeon master
-50 SPvP Tourneys

WvW kills better be replaced by some wxp amount, because WvW is not about just killing things. And sPvP tourneys, also better be replaced by some more common and universal hotjoin activity, mb something like “Achieve rank 15+”.

spoj.9672:

Who would want to have a relationship with a charr anyway.

You clearly underestimate the diversity of personal preferences.
