Fantastic no show by NSP this weekend. Hope people remember how to log in during the week.

I know. It’s rather pathetic. I think our whole server is pouting about the arrow cart mess.

Hmm. Don’t you NSP’ers worry.
I have a plan for a jolly red christmas.

From the N to the S to the oh crap we just golem rushed.

Does anyone know how to make this link into a youtube video on the forums?

Can’t find the info in the BB code section.
Thanks!

wish.1027:

Can you get 1 item every week and a half doing dailies like people who PVE and do fractals?
All we want is an equal playing field for PVP players and PVE players like Anet said they originally wanted, play the game how you want to play and still be able to get all the best gear at the same rate as everyone else and all that. Why are you against that idea?

Because hes a PvE’er in disguise and wants to continue to be superior to us WvW lot so he can scoff and eat lemon cake back in his forum section about how many shinies he has more than us plebs.

-_-
We should storm PvE castle a take all their loots.
Whos with me?

DeWolfe.2174:

For one thing, we actually held Bay, tyvm. Another is, you are only speaking of unprotected Treb’s in these situations given. When a large zerg rushes and plops a cata or treb, you aren’t going to build another without the build site being wiped. Why else do you think anyone ever started using Ele’s?

Again, it’s another layer of defense being ‘removed’ to force melee and zerging. This IS solely of Anet’s choosing to do so.

For those who complained, “Swirling’s Boring”. Well, how is being stuck sitting in towers refreshing a metric kitten ton of siege now, not even more boring?

So you’re saying that you should be able to stop 30players?

I’m sorry. But if they have a ton more people than you, you lose.

That being said.
Large zergs have no need to treb unless the enemy is non-existent. Making your point invalid.

And I’m also not speaking of unprotected trebs. I’ve flashed ballistas up with my 5 man team. Held the location for 20seconds as my teammate kills the trebs and then we all scram.

Guardians make this task easy with mass CC and heavy healing.

But you seem to be in full QQ mode. So er.
Goodbye.

robocafaz.9017:

Rob.7624:

All those trebs. Either on Vistas in keep or 3rd floor SM can be ballista’d.

I honestly had no idea. I assume the ones atop SM have to be hit from the ground? The Red keep from that plateau near Anzalias? And the Green keep from the cliffside at Jerrifers?

Rob.7624:

You point to me a treb (SS it) and I’ll tell you how you can take it down free of charge.

How about atop blue keep? I can’t think of how you could get to that one, not that it’s all that useful.

Green keep is Aldons side, you can 2 skill aoe through floor.

Blue keep top of lords is on ground on grub side/grass/ on ruined structure

robocafaz.9017:

Rob.7624:

Flash superior treb. Commander can do it np.

Or trait into the AC line and increase is range. Then find an elevated point to hit said treb.

Can a treb from outside SM hit a treb on top of SM? What about the JP vistas in the EBG keeps?

All those trebs. Either on Vistas in keep or 3rd floor SM can be ballista’d.

I’m sorry am I giving away WvW secrets here?
You point to me a treb (SS it) and I’ll tell you how you can take it down free of charge.

ParaldaWind.4523:

2500 badges would be extremely inappropriate.

I estimate you can get 250 per 8 hours, meaning that 2500 would be 80 hours of pure zergbusting.

10 fractals, on the other hand, is no more than 10 hours, max.

8 Hours Primetime maybe.

But I’m nightcrew commander for low tier NA server (night crews which are desperately needed to play) and I can only get about 150 during my entire shift.
150 Badges daily (and thats me commanding at head of zerg) is pretty bad if the cost was 2500.
Couple of weeks for a single item.
Should I ignore capping objective and let my servers score failtrain because I want to farm the other servers for badges?

Objective towers give 10badges maybe?

wish.1027:

DevonCarver.5370:

We are not planning on adding a new currency to handle Ascended items in WvW.

Bring on the purples with badges, thanks, I got 9k I didnt spend yet just waiting! 1k each would be a good price IMO.

Yeh I could live with 1k.

Although considering Legendary takes 500 badges.
500 for a lessor bit of kit would be nice.
And then when/if they add full ascended armour it can be 1kea

robocafaz.9017:

With regards to your situation, I agree with Rob.

… but the big problem is situations where those trebs are on top of vista spots or atop supply depots: places where you literally cannot kill them unless you break into the fortification itself.

Flash superior treb. Commander can do it np.

Or trait into the AC line and increase is range. Then find an elevated point to hit said treb.

How to kill a cata.
Its called an AC and Ballista.

How to kill a treb.
Its called walk over to treb and punch it.

Treb inside a tower/keep?

Walk over to treb/keep.
Build an AC.

Rinse repeat.

Inso.2195:

By the time ascended jewelry is available for WwW crowd, the Pve folks will have access to ascended armor/weapon.

Most likely.

Actually this seems the way its going to be.

Adding Ascended gear to WvW. Copy + Paste vendor in LA. Drag Delete currency, swap in badge currency already used by items in the WvW vendors.

Isn’t that basically the gist of it?
I mean, you guys basically copied all of Garrison from Queensdale. And then just pasted it 3 times on three diff WvW maps.

Seem pretty talented at it tbh.

Complaining about people emoting when they kill you?
Lol, welcome to the internet.

This is usually what I’m like when I actually beat someone.
I rarely roam. But if you see a pink haired t3 guardian super tank alone?

I iz coming for you.
(Even if you are in a 5man party)

Divinorium.8952:

@Havvik and Grandma

No. he don’t.
“Why?”
Because a good leader, like i’ve said,naturally ppl with potential around him.
And more important he HEAR what these ppl have to say.

If a leader is leading his troops over a cliff the guys around him will warn him and he will make his troops turn around.

I say that for my own experience.

I played Ragnarok Online for 8 years. 7 of these years was with the same leader.

I got to know this guy when his guild had 40 players and when they never actually “captured” a castle, the main goal of this game’s Guild X Guild event.

I was/am the kind of players that want to know “everything” about the game to use this knowledge as a advantage. Using this knowledge i adviced this guy.

From 40 players we went to the wooping number of 450 players. And being the only guild in our server, it was a private with around 3k , that made the “full lock” it means taking all the 25 castles in the game and ending the battle time with it.

What this means?
His tactis were and are crappy ones.
But even with that ppl still fighting for him and eventually another ppl, with better knowledge, joined him.
I myself before joining the guild had my own with 30 players. I sometimes got a castle and we often beat his guild.

But again i was the “commander” strategist. In the WoE my guild did bad we got down to 12 players. While his guild, even not being the strongest in the world were growing.

I went there and discovered the difference between a strategist and a Leader. And why the guy that has the shinie armor and everyone see at the guys making the moves
need to be a Leader, not a strategist.

For most part of the battles i and the council of the clan were calling the moves. But he was the guy making ppl do.

That were made even more clear one time i lead the guild by myself when he couldn’t play. Even calling the same moves i did when he was online ppl just didn’t made it “right” they ignored half of the orders and things like that.

A “Commander” strategist will have followers until he fails for the first time.
A “Commander” leader will have followers through the hell and back.

The requeriments to be a Commander is before anything else be a leader, strategist is a trait you can include in your council.

PS: Clan and guild are the same thing.
And WoE is “War of emperium” the Guild X Guild event in this game.

Hah you don’t even WvW.
What you said makes potato sense.

Divinorium.8952:

If a leader is leading his troops over a cliff the guys around him will warn him and he will make his troops turn around.

^Just this.
This and this alone.

Potato.

Divinorium.8952:

No in fact, to be a good commander you need to be a leader. Not a strategist.
That’s why every single leader in the world have a council to take advice from.

Saying “I play RTS i know how to be a commander” is ridiculous. A commander is the guy who make ppl do the things when it needs to be done. Not the guy who thinks what need to be done, if a commander has that trait is a plus not a requiriment.

A commander is different of a “master in the RTS”. in a RTS you say they do. In GW2 you need to convince ppl to do so.

A commander is a leader. Nothing more, nothing less.

And what you described is a strategist.

Commanders in GW2 are Generals.
Not leading the Green party LOL
Do you think Commanders stand there and argue their case and reason out why we should do such and such before taking a vote and then 30minutes later actually doing it? Lol
Do you even WvW?

It doesn’t matter if the zerg behind me likes me, it matters that they’re in the right place at the right time.

Hence Strategy is required. I did indeed mention PR in my post. But it is a minority. If I have a record of winning every siege I’ve ever gone into. Peeps gun’be following even if I am a massive kitten.
Free Karma train bro.

If you want a Leader join a guild.

EDIT:

And did we actually have a Bird is the word chant on the forums?!
LOOOOL

I love you guys.

Smitty <3

Divinorium.8952:

That’s why i HATE the commanders system in this game. This puts a bunch of PVE players in the place to command a PVP group.(pve because the only kinda of player i see throwing down 30 g like it’s nothing or is a bot or a 100% farmer)

I haven’t played PvE since I farmed my tag in Orr during the first weeks of this game.
And I’ve commanded daily, almost totally solidly for 8months. Which doesn’t make me good by any means. But I do know my stuff.

Even if people who WvW hardcore bought commanders tags they’d still be bad commanders. Fact. Playing WvW and Commanding and both very different.

Just because you think you can WvW doesn’t mean you can command to any standard. That is something that I myself hate to read. You need to be intelligent to become a good commander. Strong mathematics and a good memory are required, if you can’t count/forget a camp is on a buff. Then your zerg gun’die.
Play some RTS games and even Chess mixed with map reading (even a bit of PR helps too).
Essentially. Be a gamer whos dabbled in all the genres. I doubt you could sit here and tell me you meet those requirements perfectly. Infact, very few people can. And thats why we have few really, REALLY Good Commanders who do it all right.

Yes “PvE Commander Super Stars” (this is their full title please us it) come into WvW and strut around thinking they are good. But they leave very quickly.
My advice to all and anyone is to recognize good commanders and just join their squad.
If you server has no good commanders, leave your server and join NSP, we have a few floating around somewhere.

Other than that join a European server.
NA Commanders < Euro Commanders.

Shinsetsuu.2849:

Anyone have a score update? At work

NSP winning
DR in 2nd
GoM close but in last.

Vague huh?

Just watch it please.
Especially the last part.

Actually all of it.

Well whatever their outcome will be.
If this does happen I promise you I will be the first in the queue to the gemstore to buy 10 stacks of whatever OP buff I can get or magic killing deathray gun.

You all know you’ll do it too.

Anet I see some money to be made here.
Pay 2 Win all the way.

silkysoft.6749:

I wish they would nerf monks

tagnut.8621:

Really?

Mesmer has been top 3 since launch and spent many moons in the overpowered camp. You want to feel nerfed? Play a ranger.

I’ve fought rangers who can 1vs5 easily. They can offload a stack of bleed at the rate of lightning and then send their pet up to you to do whatever immobilise it likes.

I’ve got to be honest. I have a mesmer alt, and I have it because confusion damage is lolololol. That needed nerfed.
But Anet seem to think their classes are really wide ranged and diverse. If they half confusion damage they expect you to be able to pull something out of their huge wealth of awesome skills to create a new build!

Oh no wait.
What wealth of awesome skills?

Unlike Guildwars1 (who had expansions released already) GW2 has a stagnant skill bar. Which means everyone basically runs the same build. You could nerf skills back in the day because there were so many to choose from.
But not in this game. Anet are just slow on the times.
They should have just given Guardians an AoE remove confusion buff to support their allies etc etc.

Darxio.5672:

Look, if you’re using a skill that gives you all the boons, you’re getting protection too.

Protection technically cuts out more damage than Boon Hate gives.

All Boon Hate is doing is giving the discipline tree a neat way to gain more damage, and a neat way to cut into protection-heavy builds(Eles, I’m looking at you).

Eles are getting nerfed, or slapped as they so vaguely put it.
No good guardian runs the stupid “save yourselves” shout in WvW because a necro roflstomps you in a singe swing (most guardians run virtues buffs).

But what you’re saying is. A warrior can now simply negotiate a guardians protection boon as standard?

Why.
How does that seem logical? They’re already much stronger than a Guardian.
My full support guardian built for fighting zergs will already lose to a warrior over time due to the massive cooldowns we have. Which came in as a nerf near the start.
Now they’re telling me they are getting a buff that directly targets support? And yet warrior class can run shout support too?
Come on. Guardians have few enough variants as it is.
Why do they get to kill us and we don’t get a buff to return the favour?

Again.
Seems legit.
Thanks Anet.

So..

They’re giving warriors extra dmg.
To attack a player.
Whos using boons.
To stop extra dmg.

Seems legit.

Guardians all have boons naturally in their builds. Unfair much?
They also have awful health. And I mean disgusting.
14k on a lvl80 heavy class?
Wth. Warriors are similar heavy and they can grab 30k.
The argument was guardians use heals and boons.
Well.
Bye boons. Retaliation nerfed. Guardian #1 boon in a field of bad.

And Elite Renewed focus is < Warrior utility endure pain
Dumb.

Warrior= better skills, more health, same armour, and a ton more damage.
Does anyone in Anet actually compare two heavy classes?

Please someone dispute me.

osif.8673:

Maybe Toble will stop trash talking like Robert did now that we just had the most angry, best e-sex ever!

Nah.
You just weren’t on my level. You forget?

Cute that you’re still in our thread.

TeamBattleAxe.3901:

@NSP: Ronny and TCMM have been working their kittens off for us. We’re glad to have them back.

idk what all the arguing in this thread is about atm.

SF is better, they’re winning. GG.
Saying you guys are winning and your server is not even trying though? Thats just called being a nub bro. NSP lost 80% of its WvW pop which unlike SF never bandwagoned back.
And don’t even pretend when you hit t8 that you didn’t get mass xfers.
Cause you be troll’in.

SF should have been in a higher tier, Anet saw that and fiddled with the numbers to make it happen. Again GG. Thats mild fact, you were roflstomping tier 8.

Have a little admiration please, the dudes on NSP are atleast giving it a shot as opposed to HoD. I mean seriously. They don’t even bother to attack SF anymore and brainlessly try and pasty punch NSP bl. Can someone just put that dog down please?
Its sad to watch.

Anyway.
Good fight this week, enjoyed it SF.

HoD, what are you guys even doing?
I was in your LA. Was basically empty compared to NSP.
(So you can’t say they were in PvE)

Tried taking back EB from every angle. No such luck.

Oh well.
If only HoD actually played WvW they could take some of the pressure off us.
But they seem to be scared of SF.

To SF,
Good job.
:)

Bllade.1029:

Go up to Tier 1 or 2 and put any of our guys in this tier against a guild full of Russians who play WvW like its a job and I just about guarantee you they will make your guild look like a bunch of kids licking windows.

Uh. I miss the russian guilds on the euro servers.

Those guys understood me.

EDIT:
Shame I didn’t understand them.
You seen that language? Geez.

New guild siege pic

Oh I suppose we spent enough gold to merit another SS of all those golems used today.
DAT RUSH.
Totally worth it.

And yes to all who tried to get me up in your keeps vista tower.

I did indeed enjoy that.
That took 20minutes from the first to last.

frostshade.3617:

Can I haz score update please

No I keed don’t look at first one.

GG SF

We broke EB so none of NSP can actually get in.
Too many golems.

Havvik Nightseeker.3485:

Bird Song comming to HoD..love at first sight

Urgh I am so good looking.
idk how people can just look at such a beautiful thing and not want to stroke it.

I’d be one happy guy if thats who I got to follow when in WvW.
Mmmm, fine.

To anyone whos seen me in LA on NSP.
As you may have noticed.
I didn’t leave my spot.
Even cross server.

This is due to the mild law of I shotgunned that spot for eternity everywhere, during headstart.
Please refrain from standing in it, as I may stand in it on occasion on anyones server.
Thanks,

Bird

You got loads of bandwagoners.

Bandwagoners didn’t win by enough.
So the Bandied of the wagoned away.

Havvik Nightseeker.3485:

man this forum page got juicy.

HoD finally got your hills back
Take care of her, she was good to us.

ALT + F4 is what you need.

Jace.6973:

Sorry SF I was holding back on posting this video because I didn’t want to embarrass you.. It takes 65+ to hold back a guild that peaked at 32 on reset night. If this happens to you in tier 7 what will it be like in tier 6…? I really do think SF is a t7 server. Please watch this and I recommend you watch it in HD, it show’s all your dead bodies a little bit more clearer.

pengfx.8376:

Nice glitching NSP, way to kill everyone and everything inside Sunny before the gate was even down lol.. nice “tactics” from RUDE/TFG/EL in there.

Only an SF player would think that was a “tactic.” That would explain so much of SF’s behavior if they actually think that having someone glitch through a gate with 20% hp and 2 two rams on it, into an almost undefended tower was a deliberate strategy.

I said “tactic” and not tactic for a reason, guess you forgot what sarcasm was. Too bad everything was dead inside way before the 20%, so yes, they were great tactics, not counting that it’s illegal lol. Good job. Nice garrison zergrush btw.

Pfft.

What they should do it just merge PvE maps and WvW together.
And force you PvE’ers to fight between towns from us WvW kittens.

It’d make the game more interesting, thats for sure.

Omne.4603:

Havvik Nightseeker.3485:

Call out to Os. im very impressed. i have never faced u ZvZ before. and you are just beating us. much respect to the Mass cc you guys can pull off :P. the forum warriors are going to eat this alive but your much harder to understand than most WvW guilds in t7. you guys are LK’s main target now. dont take us lightly

lets have an awesome week!!! keep it clean =D

It’s appreciated man, we all had a lot of fun last night. HoD morale was definitely quite strong for reset, good times.

I had a headache and couldn’t even look at my computer screen :c
Turns out idk wth is happening with my own time.
Anet says 10:00pm UTC for new reset.
And UTC time is supposed to be GMT, my time?
But reset happened at 11:00pm?

idk what even.
British Summer time not effect UTC?

Eicca Topinen.8759:

X Braveheart [MoB] from the Northern Shiverpeaks sever.

I have no idea why this guy isnt getting much attention. His guild is becoming if not already is whats holding NSP together. Never a dull moment or empty bags when you follow his tag. I can bet alot agree too.

A bit off-topic, but no single guild is holding NSP together. Never been like that.

:/ I agree.
1 primetime mid pop guild doesn’t come close to a decider for the server.
That and when they left we didn’t ‘fall apart’.

Now a new 100 man Oceanic guild.
That would be a different story.

Doesn’t seem to be hurting SF that much though, they have NSP keep already.

Thats not what I want to hear
