Guild Wars 2

Better to have lived and died than never to have lived at all

and if you could sell them they’d be worth 2s anyway

So I was attacking garrison on yaks tonight and I had to AFK to grab a laptop from another room, come back and a thief is attacking me. So I get back on my rig and pull the sword out and he runs off.

Thieves confuse me so much

Though I don’t do emotes myself to often, we have jokingly said there are two exceptions to the rule, thieves and people from jade quarry.

I often type /sleep when a perma stealth thief attacks my bunker warrior, they’re not going to kill me and I’m not going to catch them, so boring

Tsym wants to run large numbers they should leave. This is not the tier for them because for the most part our guilds run 20 – 30. I don’t know what BP is fielding but I know what EA does. Tsym may only be running 30+ (which I doubt I’d go with 40-50 adding in the pugs would be 60+) like they said but the amount of pugs following them probably doubles that. I understand why they are leaving they want massive zerg blob against the same. DB does not do that for the most part and this is why you aren’t meeting any challenge against us. If you split your zergs into two with the pugs following you. You might find more competition.

DB has the biggest zergs I have ever seen in any tier, I thought PRX &SF 60 mans were bad but NNK is madness, “NNK zerg incomming”, “How many?” “Over 9000” can be heard on TS, if I’m flipping camps in my 5man on an empty map, NNK dont send 5, they dont send 10 to make sure, they send a 50 man zerg to get the supply camp back and thats just a portion of the main force, my mind boggles at how big that guild is.

All this colour changing is confusing, I was still getting used to being blue

probably a mixture of golds, they tend to be slightly different colours on different sets, so you have to mix and match gold shades

Our loot bags couldn’t cull fast enough, take care SoS, lol.

it’s like watching the world war z trailer

You carry a packet of dorito’s IRL so people know your a commander

with the culling removed it’s scary how many NNK there are

1000 badges spent on siege yesterday, was hoping for some unique skins with the patch. (just saying if you had of put Fused weapons in a badge vendor instead of RNG in BLC) You’d have made a lot of people happier

squad chat is detrimental to commanding, we need a raid interface already

even before the dev said anything, the article says racial karma items (this means culture weapons).

Culture armour was always bought with gold not karma

I’m working on my second T3 set, I don’t farm dragons and fractals is the last dungeon yu want to do if you trying to earn gold, you get more in wvw

magikfox.9658:

This place is disgusting… If you guys needed a shoulder to cry on you should of just asked us nicely.

who is “us” and who are “you guys”

I am very dissapointed TSYM is leaving but I have to say I have run with and against just about every dedicated wvw guild out there through most the tiers. These guys are one of the best wvw guilds in the game.

Maybe hit them up for some GvG before they leave the server.

I did her 2 days ago, she didnt AOE, she didn’t stealth, just stood there and got dps’d from 100% to 0% and died. No one got petrified and the sparks didn’t even get used.

After reading this thread I guess she just bugged out, which is good because as someone who got my dungeon master title when simin was at her hardest I was pretty disspointed with her.

it really depends on the group make up as well as player skill, worse comes to worse just spec a bit more defensive and keep your zerker gear, I carry a zerker zet and a knight set and use wichever suits the the group make up the best

I still want to be able to get the cliffside fractal hammer, seems some of the coolest items in game aren’t available to players

I’m a dungeon master and I can assure you running COF over and over for gold is not fun, people do it only for gold. Get tired of hearing, ‘I make no money in wvw yet those pve guys are having the time of their lives running COF 3000 times’

For the record, fractals is pretty boring also after the first few runs, by the time you did 200-300 fractals to get all your ascended gear. I’d be as happy as anyone to be able to have fun in wvw while getting as much gold as a COF run and earning as many Ascended as fractals

King and queen oozes in cof1, turkey room in ac1, hidden jumping puzzle that starts in holwing king room (no chest or achievement) secret cat room in borderlands jumping puzzle. Secret ghost event in AC under stairs before the first burrow, interact with torch. Secret garden in the grove (access by a pond)

Come on SoS, please don’t complain about 2v1, we are better than that

This change was to promote diversity, since shatter was strong because we had no aoe, from what I can tell from the video there is no changes to shatter this patch, but maybe it will be toned down in future patches

If a dedicated 40 man wvw guild all had ascended it would make a difference.

But for one person it’s not much different than going up against someone thats using food when your not

wvw is vastly more fun if you have people to play with, I know my server has community voice server and websites, so you can always find people to wvw with, maybe the server your on does to?

Anet sold the game in Oceanic countries and set it by default to connect to NA because Anet never invested in Oceanic servers.

KatiesAura.5928:

since the last patch my guild has sank dramaticaly i.e everyone leaving to or repping large guilds only (large guilds taken over from our small guild which we had for almost 8 years?)

people you knew for 8 years, left you in search of shiny earrings? kind of sad

Are you unloyal, do hate being social and making friends, does commitment send shivers up your spine? are you looking for anonymity, sick of wasting time with losers on voice servers? think community and bonding is for hippies? want to join a guild a you never ever need to rep?

Yeah we are not looking for people like you

As a wvw player who is in one of the largest PVE guilds on sea of sorrows, I don’t think there is anything that will get PVE players into wvw, they just have 0 interest, I ask them everyday

I like most the new changes, kholer is a little harder but less HP, howling king is amazingly cool, my jaw dropped at that new scream, ghost eater is a nice mechanic, rumbulus is the easiest but still a cool fight.

the things that suck are troll is real mean now, which is fine but needs his HP lowered. somethings up with the gravelings causing severe framerate issues.

p.s was the secret room with the ghost event always in AC ?

well hopefully they can sort it out and get the particle effects working on the fixed vision and wall of the mists, the double sword model and texture issue on the shield annoy me to no end

well this morning, i noticed vision of the mists was finally fixed, didnt have 2 hilts anymore,. and the wall of the mists finally had the correct textures, now after another patch today, the sword is glitchy like it used to be and wall of the mists has texture corruptions again

it is without doubt possible for anet to edit your guild properties, pretty disheartening if they would refuse to do it.

spike fruit and gear tossers make my quaggan backpack sad

is the [FIRE] is sos the same guild as the [FIRE] in JQ ?

Also what happened to the guild [Thai] ? Didnt see that many during my asian timezone

It’s different [FIRE]
[Thai] is BG’s southeast asia guild

The SoS FIRE is not the same FIRE as the JQ FIRE, and as of late the JQ FIRE may or may not be the same JQ FIRE as the JQ FIRE since our FIRE (Firebats) have started seeing another FIRE on JQ.

But, they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so we’ll take it.

we are Firestorm, been on sos since day 1 but are a pvx guild and don’t have a large presence in wvw, I do occasionaly get pm’s asking if we are from jq though.

Always enjoy fighting jq FIRE on the field though, had a good fight with one of your asura mesmers in the JP once upon a time

spike fruit and gear tossers make my quaggan backpack sad

I get about 1 an hour or so on my shout heal hammer warrior, and thats running straight into 50 people and fighting through the thick of it.

meanwhile my zerker mesmer just gets constant badges, throw a ibezerker into the zerg at 1200 range and i’m tripping over bags for far far less work.

thats just how it is

if she bugs kite the gold scavenger onto her and let it kill her, she usually (not always though) resumes her script

there is an apple orchid in queensdale, but yeah i guess gathering fruit would be ok why not

It is much harder than any other encounter in the game. As many others have said as well as myself it can be done with support builds and no mesmers. I think maybe to many people just assume it’s a dps issue when it’s a problem with sparks and tears

If the troll knocked you off, first ask yourself why. Should I have dodged the AOE, should I have had stability or aegis. Yeah sometimes everyone just screws up and it’s bad luck you got knocked off the ledge, but your team mates can easily run down and res you while 1 keeps the troll in combat.

Edit: or i suppose you could spend a trait slot for reduced falling damage , it MIGHT save you if you try to get the person.
I’ enjoy the changes, look at the brightside your repair bills should be less now

i know the ledge hes talking about and its a death trap for anyone trying to jump down to that ledge , unless your a necro and you exploit the death shroud thing to get them , which you could expect that get nerfed too if they see it. Ive had a member get knocked onto that ledge , you cant get to them unless you jump down to them. So…..what generic response shall we see next? =D

How about this for a generic response, If someone dies in a place they cannot be rezzed report it as a bug. If you cannot dodge, don’t use stability and insist on still being in melee range on troll then think about positioning yourself so you will be knocked back against a wall.

gee how about the few classes that DONT have stability(believe its engineer if im not mistaken?) or should we go to the part where its AC so CLOSE QUARTERS and if hes chasing you , you tend to be in melee range? or do you think if a mob is chasing you it goes FURTHER from you? and if your positioning yourself that way , odds are your gonna get cleaved in making sure your doing that rather then focus on avoiding getting hit. Anything else?

You are very hungry, but it seems I have no food left.

Wethospu.6437:

Simin doesn’t have phases. She hides when she is at <= 50% health and timer is out. If she keeps hiding at 50% that means timer always runs out.

If you compare Simin to 99% of encounters where you can faceroll without any brains then yes, it is a weird fight.

Whether one or two people get petrified depends on aggro. She uses “Dark Pact” to apply “Dead Eyed Stare”. When that expires you get “Petrify”. If she uses “Dark Pact” on same target all the time you get only one guy petrified. If she switches aggro you get more people petrified.

I’ve had her come out of stealth and restealth before a single 100 blade animation ended, the person that described the phases in detail seem to correlate with my experiences on simin

Sounds like your server just is having a rough time of it. If there is no commander on the map then just wait at spawn and put together a party with people that come in, you can duo camps, dolyaks and sentries with a party of 5 you can do it pretty effectively and have some fun.

If there is a commander on the map and they are not doing to well help them out, chances are you might know more than them and they will appreciate the help.

After all , your all there for the same reason.

skins, skins, skins , precursers , emotes.

the quaggan backpack and makeover kit are the best items they have done imo

I used to use centaur runes, fun and cheap but I hate having to use mirror. Using airs & focus now

particle effects already seems a show of prestige in this game, I think you guys will be sad if legendary armour ever comes

kodan, skritt is all that matters

On one hand I’m barracking for blackgate, on the other I’d love to see kaineng in T1 just to see what WM does.

was bunker warrior for me, who doesn’t want to follow a giant norn hammer warrior into the fray.

Guess the quaggan backpack really was the expansion worth of content.
