Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone,

I play ele since begining, I have tried every weapon and have always used the D/D or S/D
I prefer D/D for the mobility anyway since the S/D had been nerfed last year.

So I was doing some test, and I couldn’t get why

I play a sharing aura build with D/D with a 0-10-0-30-30 and have +90% boon duration.

So first test:
Frost Aura apply 8-9 secondes of fury and swiftness
Shock Aura apply 18-19 secondes of fury and swiftness
Fire Aura apply 8-9 secondes of fury and swiftness

why this difference between the aura ? isn’t suppose to be the same ??

there is no real manuel, tooltip in this game… we have to test everything ourself so anyone has the same ?

I agree that player use the excuse far too often, But you cannot extract the culling and of the context..

because even if you are in a group and pan you camera to look around and you only see a random player walking around toward you, In reality. you do not see the 29 player with him… you won’t stop for one player….. and worst when you say they don’t evade … but how evaded something you do not see….

So that ’s the counter argument..

Now it can go with infinity in this discussion the only way is too record every action on fraps to show you that actually the culling works as intended..

like compared to POV of the engaging guild and engaged…

IMO we need to know the EXACT capacity of player by server on a map…

the communication is very kitten with the dev and the tooltip of the game.. and just a simple HOW TO, a manuel for gw2 need to be done.. too many option are not documented or any at all…

2000 player in WvWvW all map 500 hundred per map.. divided not equally per server…
so we do not know how many we can actually be on a map.. It has been seen, queue to enter a map and having inferiority buff on the map…
so 500 with no reserved place by server.. ? 400 of the same server and 80 of the other and 20 of the last… non sense if it works like this,..

The culling, clipping is not a theory is a fact….
what your are saying is non sense, because you use it too to a point I think it become exploit.
you can be walking and looking every corner (if people use culling with other heavy rendering effect to extended the culling it always work)

what should I do ? laugh because all this non sense.. or cry because I see people who want to nerf me..

seriously since daOphenix has made this build popular… we ll see a lot of elem spe D/D (is a very good build) but is not op compared to other build.. and you have to be able to play it..

just all those looser who are loosing and have considererd the elem like a easy target in WvW now are facepalm that’s all.. come back on earth and just try to be a better player in the futur… what’ is the next excuse.. you can go for the thief also who those 18k damage in 2sec, perma fufu.. +clipping.. or the guardian. or the mesmer. or etc etc etc stop kittening with the elem..

Any improvement would be Nice imo, is just Small scale group miss tools( game mechanic) to be enjoyable in wvwvw. Mostly i see zerg of 50+ and There is no réal fun to play against, When you know is less effectif to play in Small group.

Thé only Time is Nice, is When u find while roaming +- same sized group

Bump, Anyone support whatever i am saying ?

kitten i really have choised the worst month to be off out of action…

Hi everyone,

I do not know if it has already been talked about, I guess yes but I try anyway.

I want to talk and suggest an improvement of the way the group work in GW2 and the synergy you must have.
Is a little to start with but I am sure many have other as good suggestion as I have
So firstly the way buff work in group, I will speak for the POV of an elementalist who try to share is aura with buff.

I think the aura have a too small zone of effect (if I see a guy from my group 2 steps in front of me it does not work I have to be almost on him to share it).
That said, I can speak about the way that is totally a random distribution of aura.

I would like to share the aura with the people in my group and not share it with a pet or a random player who is passing by… is totally insane to have a group just to be in a group there is almost no advantage, expect, I can think of one: the ctrl t to mark a target and the blue color of the name for the guy in your group( which is really poor). compared to all the effect the game have( you cannot even diminish the effect in the video option)
I have seen many feature for group in other RvR game why not steal and transform a bit what have worked before (like trion did with rift expect they weren’t RvR focused game)

An other aspect is the limitation of AoE, is good in a sense but it totally destroy the small group whom is trying to fight outnumbered Zerg,
For example : a small group of 10 players hide and want to fight a bigger group like 30+ and INC them in the back while they not aware of them(in theory it can be very effective but in pratique..), with the limitation at 5, you can have a small impact but never have enough to push and pressure and finish the guy who are on the ground and the clipping is hiding half of them( I know is gonna be resolve soon, is a good news)

I don’t know if you have seen video of people playing @30+, they re all compacted in 2 meter square so all the damage you are doing are completely random you don t touch the same person twice, is like trying to eat a mammoth with a toothpick you never hit the same spot twice,

The heal also, as an elementalist the build I play is mi-support mi-dps, so I have some sort of spell to heal my group… but the thing is, IS not my group who is heal in priority but again totally random zone effect of 5 people, pet, even “PNJ” I guess..(but i care only for my group, i come to play with them)
and when you see that every 20 meter in WvWvW there is a PNJ ( who can even revive downed player “a PNJ” >.< I don’t say in PvE but in WvWvW OMG is starting to become WvEvWvEvWvE)

So is a good game but there is a lot of improvement to be done specially @ small scale for group

in a resume

-Group priority for Buff
-Group priority for Heal
-Larger zone for Buff/Aura effect
-a change for 5 to 9 or more Aoe Effect
- YOUR IDEA FOR GROUP
-YOUR IDEA FOR GROUP
-…
-…

I mean the group is the smallest scale you can have and there is no real advantage to be or not to be within a group..

I do not agree and i do not take party but saying that using a tier(forum, or fractale on the overwhelming server as it had been done) to contact a player on the other server is kinda like glitching.. Please shut up and immo the system of combat/chat log. Option is very very poor, like the group option in a group/guild game shame on the dev… And the forum wvwvw is there for that.. Drama troll. Fun interserver but not only

Lurrani i am on AR, and shoooouu so want to see him lol i ve got no contact with him but i think. Is still on war, last time i went to check.. So i guess i ll see u on the battlefield. When You ll see me don t focus please XDDD, eleme, asura white Rasta hair dark skin/ giant norn rasta warrior dark skin whitin the gnou see you son

I disagree, brackets and ratings can matter a lot depending on what kind of play you want. If you think the lower rated servers are just as good and offer the same variety, then I’m guessing you haven’t played recently in T1/T2. The fact is that T1/T2 attract the best pvp guilds, and that has an impact.

On T2/T1 servers you have highly organized, competitive guilds that simply do not exist on lower brackets. Guilds like HB from Blackgate for instance. That level of play you won’t find on lower

Totaly disagree you do not need to be in t1 t2 to have organised guild. Allied or enemies i fighted with/against good team in lower bracket, the only thing you have fort1t2 is the 24h/7 battlefield coverage plus enormouse queu i guess. Love t3 t4. Don’t have any media recorded shame on me…

Exactly. I play myself in euro tier #1. Its all about capping with zergs. The one with the more players wins. Actual player skill and tactics don’t matter much at all. You can see exactly same tactics used day after day. This is not players’ fault: Anet designed WvWvW so that it rewards numbers over tactics & skill.
Visunah Square (VS) and Seafarer’s Rest (SR) are always outnumbering Blacktide on those hours when I play. Sometimes we have just 1-2 green dots in entire map, plus one NPC commander in the base, which is under attack. Once you go outside your home base you encounter dozens of enemies.
But there are some great players in top tier as well. I don’t belong to Red Guard [RG], but I think their WvWvW play is the best I have seen.

Stop saying you need number to win lol(shame on the 5 limit for aoe) but still you only need coverage to win. Night time, day time/

Soon as i find video of t3 t4 i come to share people who plays the prime time just for the fun of hitting red.

Ah btw about the subject, if i was playing after christmas till the end of the match up, no agreement for me, a red is a red. And the common saying is " hit everything who is red gandara or pikken no matter if you are not barricaded in a structure with siege weapon you find us (gnou) in the open, or the door of fort must be open (we do not hit wood is not red, btw loved or little begining of the matchup excursion on eb in the north @7 gnou, pikken trying to still a tower from gandara, enter the fort, little pikken zerg (20-30) there are on the lord all wiped, we claimed the fort and left. Didn t hold it for long tough, gandara took it back quicly. Fort blue alone in the north trapped by red (btw i use fort, but is tower).

Quick question for the community, can you see our guild emblem on our chest ? Or this kitten doesn t work cross server either and you just see us all red ? I was wondering.

Saint Scarlet.2906:

There was an agreement between 3 commanders on each server that while they were on they wouldn’t attack each other. Now while the majority of Piken might have disagreed with this, we respect each other on the server so wouldn’t do anything to dishonour another commanders word. Yes one of our worst commanders then took it on himself with randoms(coz even his own guild wouldn’t betray the rest of Piken) to attack AR and end our gentlemans agreement. It doesn’t matter in the end, it was a valid tactic to join forces for a while as both us and AR are down on numbers by 2/3rds whereas Gandara PvDoored their way into top spot when we had virtually no-one on. All this agreement was doing was to balance out the score again to what it was before ungentlemanly(although a valid tactic) night cap when we were all celebrating Xmas. What a lot of you seem to forget, although we are friendly most the time, this is war and you have to expect everything that comes with that. There is nothing wrong in temporarily allying with another server to help your lack of numbers achieve the equilibrium that was there before. There were still plenty of fights and capping by AR whilst we were “allied” but we chose to stick together as a server and honour our commanders wishes.

Seriously enough of this.

You guys got on your high-horse that people played on Christmas eve OH NOES!, then you think its absolutely fine and in no way similar that you guys played all day Christmas day. On top of that you had to make an agreement? But that’s still cool.

Really don’t know why you have to be hypocritical about it – stuff happens and just get on with it. Stop crying no fair, stop making out that everything you do is awesome and everything anyone else does is bad (if they’re winning). Dear lord this kind of behavior reminds me why I left Warhammer, don’t need it here!

As I said before. EVERYONE stop belittling each other’s achievements and just enjoy the fight. If you see people doing really dodgy things then report them. Public mudslinging and all this whining does none of us any favours.

Hey everyone and luranni,
Like it has been said merry christmas and happy new year, only this time from me Dee Namo/ Oken Toshan and the Gnou. Loved fighting both of you specially pikken before xmas and i guess i ll see you in january.

Btw Lurrani (dont know if u remember me “Shivice”) but i remember you well, the witch of eltharion or karak norn, can t remember when eltharion closed and we had to move to karak norn. are you on pikken, gandara, AR ? Is pikken for gw2, karak norn for war ?
And i say hello to tainted, 7, hob if you remember me shivice sorceress of the fallen before the guild shrink to no manner and many stopped at the same time like me.

Really good to fight against you guys, so much pleasure/pression while fighting.

See you on the battlfield,

Dee Namo/Oken Toshan Gnou( casu for fun)
