Guild Wars 2

Same issue here.

12 chests, 12 greens.

I’d be pretty turned off by it, except I’ve gotten 3 Golems, 1 treb, and misc. other siege which I’ll use and like just under 20 silver per chest. The RNG sucks one giant hairy ball, but the rest of it really makes WvW flip over the line of losing money into making a little bit.

There’s a lot of things needed to be fixed in WvW. Can ArenaNet beat ESO or Camelot Unchained launches where if those systems work better, we’ll be drained of even more players? Or will they still be rolling out ‘fixes’ to major issues in another 9 months and we’ll be looking to merge down to 9 servers total NA?

If I were Maguuma, I wouldn’t want to leave this tier either. /shrug

How does Maguuma have so many people?

Eventually, anyway.

This will be my soundtrack.

I wanna make a brag video too.

It’ll be of me ‘roaming’. I’ll stealth up, stalk, kite and eventually backstab chickens, rats, and rabbits. I’ll do this for 20 minutes, all the while trash talking idiot mosquitos and noob rabbits in party chat and mumble. I’ll even write notes on my video noting things like ‘typical chicken zerg didn’t even see me coming’.

Yeah that’s what I mean. It’s hard to implement wxp for standing there without it being abused. But maybe tagging siege when it’s below 25% of it’s remaining time gives you like 10 WXP. That’d be a strong step in the right direction.

Does ANet agree that it absolutely blows … tagging siege every half hour

Hahaha, apparently they agreed on that.

DevonCarver.5370:

We agree that the rate is simply too slow right now and the build next week will make some major adjustments to that. And we will continue to analyze the data after that and make more changes as necessary. In addition we will be continuing to find ways to reward players who are doing more than just running around and killing other players.

Does ANet agree that it absolutely blows to have to guard a keep, tagging siege every half hour because it absolutely has to be done while everyone else is out there getting tons of loot bags, karma, and wxp? Or zergy, way too bloated, servers are on average 20-30 levels higher than anyone else on their tier?

CHIPS.6018:

Score update. Our Oceanic crew often erase a 4,000 point deficit over night. Yesterday they must have worked extra hard and almost erased an 7,000 point deficit between Kaineng and Yak’s. Its very close now.

If only we can get our players more organized, and get a few more NA & EU players here, we can cause some serious damage.

I also got a message for Yak’s. How do you guys feel about a general server merge? You guys have a great NA presence, but lacks Oceanic. We have a great Oceanic presence, but lacks NA. If we combine we will become one single great server. We enjoyed how nice you guys are on the forums, so I think we will get along just fine.

Yeah, we’ve pretty much had all the same people/guilds since launch. It’s very stable. Nobody leaves, it’s just that we haven’t been able to attract Oceanics here.

Stable? Yak’s bend has all the same people it started with. Sure, we’ve not been bandwagon’d or anything, but we’re still the same ol’ Yaks. We’ve been in tier 3 forever.

You did want stable, right?

New suggested playlist:

Soulja Boy – Turn My Swag On
The Lonely Island – YOLO
Rebecca Black – Friday
Justin Bieber – Baby
Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me Maybe
Psy – Gangnam Style

Yep, the only difference is like a concentrated 45 seconds of tagging nodes for gathering, usually. Some times not even that.

Daily activities for WvW are mostly pretty self-completing already. I’d not make the complaint that WvW’rs don’t get laurels easily because that’s false. That’s a non-issue 100% and if you’re whining about it, then… well stahp.

My biggest complaint -and it’s not really one, it’s more than an observation – is that you’re limited to ~40 laurels/month. I’d think ANet would want you to have WvW, PvE, and sPvP each give you a laurel/day to get people to spread out more if they really want to get laurels.

But you know as well as I do that we’d burn through all we need sooner than later and they’d have no carrot on the proverbial stick for us to chase.

I sure hope whoever makes the next thread doesn’t open it with a question again. It’s pretty awesome to see this dudes playlist every time I go to check this thread.

John Widdin.9618:

What a wonderful night. Around 500 kills to my tally.

Thank you for actually fighting.

ROFL. Us too.

We feel like we’re just giving each other bags and everyone keeps going back to keep it rolling.

I would argue that it adds a need for skill to siege vs siege. Placing arrow carts isn’t everyone’s strong suit, placing counter siege isn’t either. But then again, I’m not one of those guys who jumps on the official forums to declare conspiracy, a cry for nerfs every time I get killed, or the end of the world.

I decline people all the time, unless they’re actually running with me. If I’m commanding, I don’t mind having some pugs fill in if I have space. Usually, I’m in a full guild group though.

Enemy players, no. Stabbing enough places for new poo holes into someone isn’t likely going to bring on any conversation from an enemy player I care to have. I would not care for the praise or disrespect either way.

Don’t you people have an alliance site?

It’s an RE tradition.

Holy Commander Tags! Why is half the zerg tagged up?

For the same reason that they’re naked. You shoulda heard em in TS. Was quite funny, though I’m under the impression that Mag only saw loot bags and not ppl having fun. Correct me if I’m wrong.

From Monday-Thursday, I am quite certain Maguuma sees nothing but fun.

JudgeD.5673:

It’s an RE tradition.

Holy Commander Tags! Why is half the zerg tagged up?

Haha. Well, I think it’s fair to say we’ve all been on the other side of those things. Herding cats is easier than wrangling up the uninitiated in WvW.

Kronyx.2570:

Earlier tonight, Mag rushed in with like 60 people in to Bay in YBBL. Unbeknownst to them we has around 3 Sup carts and 3 sup ballistas aimed at the choke. There were like 40 bodies there. Never got so much loot in under 20 seconds.

The ally mumble was pretty happy when that happened! We have it recorded, it just needs to be trimmed out. Ask Foe about it. :P

robocafaz.9017:

I caught Kaineng guys using cosmetic hacks today. They were way more stylish than the game client normally allows you to. I’d post screen shots and videos but I won’t post screen shots or videos. Everyone knows you guys can’t color-coordinate so you have to rely on cheats in order to be fabulous. Good thing I can stomp all you guys in a 1-on-1 walk-off but every time I find you your entire zerg of people with matching hats comes and vogues all over me. Just goes to show how lame Kaineng is that they need to use an entire zerg just to out-catwalk me LOL

If any of you want to 1-on-1 vogue meet at the Fashion Club atop the catwalks of the Skritt tunnels at Northeast Mag BL.

That is terrific. +1 for the lawls. Fabulhax.

Wait, we went from people accusing each other of hax, to complaining about armor skins?

This tier, this effing tier…

It seems to only happen when you fall kind of close to the cliff and far. Jumping off the vista cliff in a BL Garrison works fine, as does many short jumps. But this is pretty crippling in WvW. To reproduce it, spend like 5 minutes in any map. It gets hairy when trying to ambush or get away or if you do get ambushed.

It happened after ANet pushed out a patch and statuses of Keeps/Towers/etc were still going on in the ‘background’ but not visible. So less harmful things like Keep upgrades would push on, but have no progress meter. But also, the status of SE tower on our borderlands changes and we were getting seige locked and our stuff was disappearing, which made it irritating and less than optimal to take.

A 20-30 man zerg should not be melting seiged and upgraded towers and keep at the speed they are doing it in.

Slamz.5376:

WvW is failing / Queues are too long.

Pick one. Might as well say McDonalds is going under because they have too many customers trying to buy a hamburger.

Absolutely true. The line is too long of a wait and the ‘hamburger’ they are getting tastes like crap and those customers are less likely to come back. Unless they are desperate (IRL: time crunch, In-game: I need badges or a daily), that horrid excuse for a ‘burger’ will not at all be a preferred choice. McDonalds is not known for it’s quality.

For any server server getting out-zerg’d, but see your Lion’s Arch filled with bored/semi-idle/and bored players… I wonder why this is.
