Guild Wars 2

jbernal.1078

First I wish to establish that I mean no disrespect, and by no mean am I wishing to start a flame war, nor am I doubting the effectiveness of your “Death Train” as we call it; however, this video is just as impressive as watching a dungeon speed clear from back in Gw1.

Your mob is completely dependent on the builds your characters are running. There is no strategy, no need for thought or consideration of what is going on around you (particularly those who are suppose to be your team mates); just a mindless run around swing as much as you can.

While that is a good, and quite honestly effective, way of playing. I would rather PvE than that. :S

As a member of ET, I wholeheartedly approve your message.

But before I get to the “why”, let me address a few things. Each and every one of us builds our characters to be the most effective they can be and/or the most fun they can be. That is what the [Agg]‘s and the [FoE]’s and the [Ash]’s and every other dern player and guild do. We play games to have fun. Some of us play games because we like to be competitive.

With that being said, [Agg] is a very competitive and very effective guild. They are by no means the only good guild on ET. ET is the sum of our guilds, roaming groups, parties, and individuals. This is something that [Agg] members have stated repeatedly and I respect them for that way more than I respect them for their prodigious skill at WvW. They do tend to get a lot of attention, and that’s great because they have a reputation for getting the job done and that sort of reputation tends to attract a lot of praise and whining, depending on which side of the match you’re on.

They’re 20-25 guild groups also tend to draw other players, especially from the tiny guilds and single players because, frankly, people like to win and are naturally drawn to success. I’m quite sure they don’t hop onto a map and say, “I wonder if we can suck in about 50 more ET peeps so we can run around in one big giant zerg just to tick off our opponents.” But even if they did, hese big giant zergs are super effective, but not necessarily for just the way you think. Sure they can cap Stonemist fairly easily. They can grab keeps and garrisons. BUT, they also take the heat off the smaller groups: the 15 man “zergs” that are capping towers; The 5 man parties that are taking camps; The 2 man parties that are killing Dolyaks, Veterans, and Krait.

EVERYONE has a role to play.

Now, back to why I approve your post: Each and every post like yours probably just provokes guilds like [Agg] to become even more effective, to become even BETTER WvW’ers, to create even more success for Eredon Terrace.

So by all means, to all the whiners, keep up the good work. If nothing else, you’ve got me laughing my butt off.

So my nice experience came at the hands of a player from Ferguson’s Crossing. I was playing an underleveled character (leveling in WvW) and was on the losing side of a couple of random mobs. I had managed to get them all down except for one and it downed me. As I sat there using my downed skills on the last monster, and knowing I was going to die before I killed it, a random FC ran up and killed the monster which caused me to rally.

He then ran off into the sunset never to be seen again.

Sadly, I don’t recall having tried to thank him or anything. Maybe I /waved. I can’t remember. At any rate, THANK YOU FERGUSON CROSSING GUY! You made my day with that act of kindness.

Unique. From my perspective, it means there is only one of something. ONE. Clearly, this isn’t the case (as was said by previous posters) because everyone and their brother can buy it. They are clearly NOT unique. It’s not that big a deal to add just a few additional words to the item’s description that say something like “Unique: Only one of these items can be equipped per character”

I have no previous MMO experience so I have no idea how the word “unique” applies to every other game on the face of the planet, nor should I. In fact, my last PC game experience was Diablo 2. In that game (since we’re talking about previous experiences), you could equip two SOJ’s or 2 BK’s or 2 Nagelrings or whatever. Those were unique items where you could have two equipped.

But again, just add a bit more description. It couldn’t possibly hurt anyone to have more info.

Cantur Soulfyre.5409:

Good work old frenemies! Is ET going to be green this next reset?

Oh gawd, I hope we’re green soon. 1 more vista and 1 more POI for 100% map completion. I can never seem to be on when we have GoM’s keep in EB.

GoM, could you guys just leave the back door unlocked for me? I’ll just run in and run right out. I’ll lock the door behind me and I’ll even leave a thank you note with cookies! haha

I demand that the anet peeps personally come to my house and place the loot bags onto my front door step. WITH a lovely thank you note. AND a bow or ribbon or something.

That’s all I ask. It’s not a huge request, but there it is.

I love the Siege Devourer idea!

I donate monies to the Commanders on my server occasionally, especially when I know they don’t come from very large guilds. I’ve see a simple “thank you for the donations” said in /m chat by the receiving Commander generally gets a few more people to donate too.

Generally speaking, I believe there are a good bunch of people that know how expensive it is and want to help, they just need a gentle reminder.

We had this happen yesterday at the back of our SW camp up on the hills. Several “enemies” were building ballista and shooting at us from the “invulnerable zone”.

To the victors go the spoils.

What exactly has to happen to have their chat supressed? I am VERY vocal about enemy movements (and my own) in /m chat on my server and I have never been surpressed. Is it simply stating the same exact word(s) over and over again? I might have 5 or 6 lines in a row within a short amount of time that say something like:

/m [Spiritholme] under white swords. Checking. 10secs away.
/m Vet south of [Dawns] just went red.
/m [Spiritholme] clear.
/m [Greenlake] has orange swords. Anyone have eyes there?
/m heading to [Garrison] wp, then [Greenlake] to check.
/m BO at [Greenlake] get here asap!

Except for the last line, those may all come about 20 seconds apart from each other, then I’m quiet for a couple of minutes.

Jscull.2514:

After further review, the call on the field stands…….NSP and HoD can now use the Norn Pink Guardian from PvP’s video as a full depiction of what SF teams will bring to the battlefield.
1. In a 10 minute fight switching to a second set of weapons never
2. Spamming 1 (we all knew that anyways)
3. Using buffs like (Empower) with one enemy left in a battle for the first time
4. Putting wall of reflection behind the front line of their team
5. Clicking on their abilities (with their mouse)
6. Spamming 1 (we all knew that anyways)
7. Forum explanations about how SF "works together and now has learned new skills as a server implemented by all on the battlefield
8. Finally, posting a video of 20 rolling maybe 10? Portal bombing and wiping half their own force, and the infamous “let’s all have fun” tag thrown out for everyone’s enjoyment.

SF has used a full time out with the challenge, 1st and 10 PAXA. (WHISTLE)

You forgot:

9. Spamming 1

Does it matter what their tactics are when they’re still winning.

Something I posted in another thread (with a slight variant)

Shademehr.1397

New Commander ability: “Salvage Siege”

Commander may salvage siege and regain % of the supply used to create the siege item. There is also a 15% chance to recover the siege blueprint. A higher WvW rank in “Salvage Siege” will raise the percentage chance for recovered supply and blueprints.

This ability does not work on enemy siege.

There would also have to be a way for Commanders to distribute the supply or massively increase their supply carry capacity

I guess I’ve known this the whole time, but recent player comments have really made me think more about it:
WvW is what you make it (at least from the experience in my tier).

If you desire to run with a zerg, one can almost always be found. If you’d like a small party-sized group, grab some guildmates or friends, party up, and go and roam. If you like medium sized groups, grab a few more guildies or start using /m chat to see if anyone who isn’t with the zerg wants to join you.

Zergs are great for three things really (imho):
1. XP/Karma train
2. Taking very tough objectives (SM for example)
3. Distractions to take the heat off your smaller group and your activities (“stealth cap” camps, towers, etc.)

Runamok.9638:

I am feeling quite sorry for all those transfers that went to HoD from ET. More roflspiking at the hands of SF in store for you it seems. Since you have left ET has become quite the lovely server. Have fun over there guys.

I’m torn on how I feel about it. On one hand, I’m thinking “Good riddance quitters” and on the other hand (I had a few friends go there) I’m like “WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?!?! :’( Just come back home”

Darkothe.1253:

Yes…I’ve seen the massive insert server name here zergs. They’re fairly intimidating until they start running at the first sign of trouble – which is a complete turn around from insert server name here and insert server name here who would fight to the last man. shrug Different play style I guess.

There was a HUGE zerg in the insert server name here BL last night that would rip into a target, take it over and then move on like a swarm of locusts – allowing us to recap their former target fairly quickly. When we’d finally cornered the nasty thing in insert location here, we spanked them all soundly before sending them back to their spawn point to think about what they’d done – sometimes the best way to deal with petulant children.

The big, blob of enemy names is fairly impressive to see from a distance…but there’s not much substance there. insert server name here does it right in that regard. THEY know how to zerg. Take some lessons.

Since your post applies to everyone in one shape or form, I’ve fixed it to be the generic whining post it should be in order to apply everywhere it should. Your server is not exempt either, ofc.

New Commander ability: “Salvage Siege”

Commander may salvage siege and regain 50-100% of the supply used to create the siege item. There is also a 15% chance to recover the siege blueprint. A higher WvW rank in “Salvage Siege” will raise the minimum percentage chance for recovered supply and blueprints.

This ability does not work on enemy siege.

wyther.8372:

Okay so running 70 v 30 is the suck and exactly what I had hoped to avoid. Unfortunately, that is unlikely now. It is too easy to look great when you don’t have to do anything really spectacular to win.

To me transfer wins to “SF” our opponents is the bore. My questions is would FC or GoM; depending on who turns out the worse of the two servers after a week or two welcome a commander from ET? I do have an unorthodox style and like to use caps while leading so people know what to do (lets face it not everyone uses TS). Anyway let me know as I wouldn’t want to come over and cause issues.

Hey, I’m down with small groups (even party-sized!). Next time I see you, I’m down with joining a Gilkin-led party. I agree that it sucks sometimes that we have all of our eggs in one basket (zerg), and would love to see some smaller groups running around getting things done too. Multi-caps keep the enemy guessing AND split up.

Hickeroar.9734:

What if you kill someone on the other side of a gate? Or up on a wall? What if your whole goal in your current foray is to remove some of the siege…but you get a kill? Or 10 kills? You have no opportunity to get that loot from the other side of the gate, but you just did your team a great service. Looting corpses is far worse than the idea of having the loot appear on the ground around you.

Also…players release when they die. You can’t loot a corpse that isn’t there.

They are on other side of an unreachable area. An UNREACHABLE area. (at least maybe temporarily). I don’t see why I should be able to kill someone who is on one side of a wall and then have a loot bag magically appear on the other side of a wall. That just doesn’t make sense to me (at least less sense than magic and dragons and talking frogs haha). I still get xp though for the kill, so there is that reward (and the intangible benefit of knowing that I’m helping my team.)

Heck, maybe I’ll play harder so that I stand a better chance of getting behind that gate and collecting my loot.

I get what you’re saying and respect your opinion, but I think we may have to agree to disagree. The more debate I see from various people about having loot magically appear in various places, the more I think the loot should just stay at the corpse and that’s that.

It sounds like I’m in the minority, but such is life.

Shademehr.1397:

actually picking up your loot does provide a bit of “realism” to the game. As with any battle, you’ve got to remember to loot the bodies.

Because it’s totally realistic for it to drop in front of me when somebody I hit before dies 1500 units away…

I don’t understand how somebody can actually argue against such a change. It’s not a critical one, it has nothing to do with combat balance or any other important game mechanic, it’s purely a quality of life thing. Looks like the people stating that others have to “l2p” think that the tedious annoyance of picking up loot bags is a sign of advanced player skills. Yeah. Right.

Well in that case, you’re right. The bags shouldn’t drop at your feet either. I’m not saying it’s a l2p thing. I’m saying, if that bag is important to you (or worth dying for), then go get it. If it’s not, don’t.

If grabbing loot bags are such an annoyance to everyone, then simply stop grabbing them. For the record, I too have lamented those sparklies lying on the ground around my body…

…for about 2 seconds before I respawn and move on.

You’re missing the point. The loot isn’t the annoyance. Making it a real pain to actually get what you legitimately deserve IS.

I see the point (and the shaft and the hilt); I just don’t agree with it.

“Deserve” is a relative word. If you are able to defeat your opponent, loot him WHERE HE LIES, and pick up the bag, then you “deserve” your loot.

I think it’s been mentioned before: To the victor’s go the spoils.

Clearly we’re all playing a fantasy game here so some suspension of disbelief is required. With that being said, actually picking up your loot does provide a bit of “realism” to the game. As with any battle, you’ve got to remember to loot the bodies.

And while the numbers are pretty meh…

I also blame the Stupid Adventure Box. April can’t get over fast enough. haha

LilMcGinley.3890:

Did SF empty all BLs to take back Lake in ET bl? Srsly, how many people did you have?

Also had a blast defending our north tower from the mighty zerg as well, at least we held you off there.

15v100

There were at least 30+ FoE there last night. This picture proves it.

where is the picture? as i KNOW there was not 30 foe last night. when i logged around 9.30pm cst there was about 15-18 of us + random others

As a member of the “random others” that were running with FoE last night, I also observed around 15 FoE (max) plus another 3 non-FoE (me and Brotha are the only two I can recall though.)

pulsecodesgnl.3470:

Honestly, I expected to come in here and hear something about how we had a great fight, but no, more SF hate. And then a guildie links me to a post in the ET forums about how badly we were ‘trashed’, and the excessive circular mentality about how we only win due to population.

What IS the benefit exactly (or fascination) in looking at other people’s forums and what is posted? Is it a bit of masochism? Looking for “trade secrets”? Stalking certain players? (this isn’t necessarily directed at you, pulse. I’m just curious.)

It sounds like a guildie had his/her undies in enough of a wad to try to drag everyone else into his/her disapproval of a post. Why be dragged down too?

Welcome back to ET. Good luck in getting everyone else back. I think this has happened to other guilds as well. :/

pulsecodesgnl.3470:

Yes, some members from a significant guild on ET went to HoD. FC on the other hand has been receiving some very quality transfers, and has become very impressive to fight off.

If you’re thinking of the same guild I am, then yes a portion of that guild did indeed move over to HoD. They also have some very skilled players in the guild and it had a great knack for defensive play and holding onto objectives long after most people would have died or given up. If I had to make a guestimate on the numbers that made the transfer in time, I’d say 30ish? That’s really just a WAG though.

With that being said, they were not a large guild and it’s rumored that not the entire guild was able to make the transfer before the door was closed by ANET. (i.e. no longer allowing free transfers to HoD)

Eredon Terrace has also been receiving transfers, although it’s too early to ascertain their caliber or how they’ll mesh with the existing group.

Roosta says it better than I ever could:

Diabien.6197:

Looks like its only going to be a choice of ET and FC, so i guess im staying in tier 1

ET is the server you’re looking for [/jedimindtrick]

Zorion, maybe I’ll have to hang my head too, but I’ve looked at all of the vendors in the Citadel and I don’t see anything other than what has always been there. I see no vendor that accepts badges. Only the same old karma and gold vendors with the same gear selection. I don’t see any “skin” vendors.

Am I looking at the wrong vendors? The wrong location? I’m really scratching my head on this one.

Any updates, Mc?

edit: I’m squared. thx and that time looks great!

Sadistis.4257:

Meanwhile in Eternal Battlegrounds precautions are being taken to prevent the spread of ET.

That last screenshot makes me frownie face.

More experience, more crafting success, more gold, more harvesting…all those bonuses. Does EVERYONE on SF have their Legendaries yet? haha

Count me in.

15.

How about a Guild bank vault? It wouldn’t be ONE location, but it would only be two (guild vault + normal bank)

Anarchy.9703:

wyther.8372:

This fight is pointless, I’m done commanding. It’s not just the horribly uneven fight that is never going to end; some other commanders I have expressed my opinion to know the reason. I’d ask that none of them or my guild mates to bring it up on the boards. Best of luck all.

I guess it’s time for some of the newer commanders to step up their game! Sad to see you’re no longer going to command, Gilkin. I loved following you around everywhere~

Now if only Cedrick and Kawagima would teach me their ways…

It was good to see you these passed few days Anarchy. I don’t believe I’ve seen you around before so either you just got a Commander tag or I just wasn’t paying attention( likely the latter as sometimes I have two eyes on nine different things. haha)

Gilkin, I know you don’t want to talk about it, so I’ll just say: I’ll miss your Command, but it will still be fun fighting along side you and the Asuran Army.

That Kawagima…what can I say. His ability to rez/revive under fire is amazing. He pulled me back from the brink several times over the last few days. Thanks, man! You are a nice addition to Mend and I look forward to seeing more of you.

Ced, I hope you’re feeling better!

Ungood.3054:

We also don’t fight with a guild style mentality, we fight as a server, a legion of one, no matter what the guild tag may be. We raise, defend, and follow command, anyone willing to fight for us. This the people we put on the field, may as well all be in the same guild, even if our tags are different, we are all Eredon Terrace Defenders, and we will fight, to the very last one of us.

Speaking as a member of a tiny guild, I have no problem with any of the Commanders on ET. Some of them clearly have their specialties, but I work with everyone, and quite frankly I like them all too. While I certainly fly my own guild tag, I consider myself to be a member of every guild insofar as I will work with anyone and listen to the suggestions and ideas of the Commanders on the field. I don’t have any idea if I am regarded differently in various guild’s “guild chats”, but everyone seems to (at least) tolerate me.

I am Eredon Terrace.

FilthyRat.4652:

Lol…my little birdies have told me stories for months about how things run. Just know we welcome every new player to SF as if they have been here for a lifetime, and there are plenty of guilds to join to help the cause. We will move out of T8 and not certain what will be left behind but friend or former foe there is an equal voice for everyone here on SF.

You may want to consider donating those birdies to a pharmaceutical company for eyeliner testing and get yourselves some new ones.

For anyone who may be getting lulled to the dark side by FilthyRat’s promise of grandeur, please remember that the grass is rarely (never?) greener on the other side.

roostapro.9827:

idc how stale this match is, But SF is not getting any free rides from me.

Amen.

geekanerd.4123:

I used to think it was extremely silly when ET would send the bulk of their forces over to Ferg while SF was having their way with your borderland. Now I think I get it. Why waste time and effort trying to stop a zerg that outnumbers you 3 or 4 to 1? Let them do their thing, and then when they get done, they’ll go into Ferg. So what happens is that, at least for several ticks, you’ll have a few blue keeps in Ferg adding some points whilst you start taking back your own BL after SF goes away. And it seems to be working. To be fair, it’s not the complete story between the score discrepancy between Ferg and ET, but it’s certainly a good part of it.

tbh geekanerd, this is the best reasoning I’ve seen so far. This may not be the feeling of all the ET players, but it is certainly mine and it makes the most sense to me.

We can tell exactly when SF will show up on our doorstep, en masse: It’s when they’ve turned your BL green. We know exactly when they’ll head back to yours: It’s when they’ve turned our BL green. If we don’t have the numbers to “stop” them (i.e.: delay them), then some of us head to Ferg to get some points.

I really wish more people would realize that this is a game of points. Sure there is some pride in holding off the massive zerg from your garrison three or four (or more) times in a row, but sometimes one just has to cut the losses and find the path of least resistance.

Here’s something to consider, and I wonder if anyone in Fergland has been able to nail this down: When we repel SF at various locations in the ET BL (garrison, Dawns, Woodhaven, etc), we typically see a follow up group with greater numbers, then when it fails, another attack with even more numbers. Do you find that the longer we hold out, the more time you guys get to reinforce, lay siege, etc in your own keeps/towers/etc?

Pizz.3698:

You’re assuming I’m in a populated zone, when I mostly run around the emptiest zones. They meet just a little bit of resistance and poof they disappear leaving us free upgraded keeps. Even though it’s free exp, karma, money, tokens, it gets boring fast.

Sometimes we just have to choose our battles wisely. Sadly, “wisely” might mean that we have to lose 10 points here and 5 points there to hold onto 20 points (or to head to Ferg and grab even more points in a shorter amount of time than it would take us to simply hang onto that upgraded keep)

DisplayName.7802:

Personally, I am rooting for FC. I hate ET lol.

I would root for kitten’s before I ever rooted for SF. I have seen more BM behavior from them than I have ever seen from any other group ever. (and I’m an XBox Live user.) Sadly, it’s become my expectation of them. I’d wager there are a few diamonds in the rough but I’ll be darned if I’ve run across them.

I love the matchup between FC and ET because it’s such a nailbiter. It seems to be a very even match. I would love to see a third server that was equally as populated and tenacious as we two. Sometimes, I feel as if they are a kindred spirit, I guess to the extent a “red” could be considered a kindred spirit.

Good luck ET and FC.

Yeah, was pretty awesome but it deteriorated rather quickly after we were finally overwhelmed. I guess that was as good a time as any to hit the sheets.

katz.8376:

Irony.5203:

A little off topic, but what are the URLs for the ET and FC community forums?

oh yeah… i started a forum and site not that long ago to try to help organize, but there’s not a whole lot of people on it yet.

thanks for the linkage, Manoa

Thanks guys. Just signed up.

(edit: Access Denied though. Maybe there is an approval process?)

Same here across all characters in various zones.

edit: finally in.

Wanderer.3248:

Yes, our massive Zerg of 20 people (if we’re lucky) is practically an unstoppable war machine.

Granted, this is only a one-time observation but this is even optimistic from what I saw this morning.

I set my alarm clock early hoping to see this mythical “EB completely capped by ET” craziness. (I just need a few more things for map completion…). We had absolutely no part of EB. Zero. Zilch. A small group of us let by a single commander managed to grab back must of our 1/3 before moving on to greener pastures (and me moving on to work).

I don’t know what it looks like now, but FOR CHRISSAKES JUST A FEW MORE POI AND VISTA ARE ALL I NEED!!!!

Viada.7501:

Very proud of the night/morning crew. This looks great guys, keep it up!

Yeah, great work! I need to schedule a vacation day to get my map completion. haha

katz.8376:

hey, the xp and karma was good, right? and rest assured, we grab it back in the morning.

Absolutely!

Scumbag Mawile.6384:

I’d get sphincter speared about it, but…

That was disheartening last night. I logged on for a bit and we had two Commanders running around ET and they were doing a pretty good job of taking back the keeps, garrison, and our towers. But almost as quickly, they would fall to SF again. We just didn’t have the numbers to leave behind to defend so it ultimately turned into a karma/xp train. The group I was with ran out of steam and got wiped near Champs and most of us seemed to head off to bed after that.

Narcissus.1058:

What I want to know is, is there any way i can get peoples attention without a magical blue arrow?

The short answer is “no”.

The longer (more contradictory answer) based on what I’ve personally seen is:

silverfire.2547:

TL;DR: start being a vocal participant in map/team chat and provide useful information. Build a reputation and people will follow.

FilthyRat.4652:

Is going to be hard to get people to follow you if you are low on funds. Not sure how much siege you have but people aren’t going to be happy if you ask them to follow you then make them throw siege at every point. Then there is upgrading captured camps, towers, and keeps.

Also a good way to get know is to do the important things that nobody loves to do-like upgrading camps and making sure supply get to those points he is taking. Calling out and scouting enemy troop movement, and taking small groups to capture enemy camps and starve supply while people are focused on the zerg.

wyther.8372:

1. Be very vocal.
2. When no commander is on start using caps once something is about to be taken, like MOVING TO PANGLOSS NEXT
3. Be the first to head in the direction you want to go.
4. Some people will give you crap about the caps, ignore them once you lead people to enough EXP they don’t give a crap if you are throwing poo at them, they will follow.
5. Be assertive, but not overly assertive.

This is all pretty good advise. #2 from Gilkin is oh so wrong, but strangely it works oh so right.

If I HAD to select one thing from above it would be the references to communication: be constructively vocal. Do it for long enough and the regulars will become familiar with you.

[edit] One more minor thing: stick to one character (or stick to names that are very similar if you’re using alts). I give each of my characters distinctly different names which I think hurts me overall in WvW when I’m trying to get help because people might not know “Hecates Wraithmere” but they may know “Victoria Myth”.

So I’m a clicker too. (Is there a support group?). I’ve primarily been a console player my whole life and using a mouse and a keyboard is still VERY awkward to me and I often feel like I’m fighting the control scheme more than I’m fighting my opponents.

Is there some sort of “insructional video” or something that you guys would recommend where I can explore some possible improvements? I’ve seen some posts that talk about using XBox controllers to play this game and I’m really starting to think that may be the only solution for me…

Sorry guys, I was playing alphabet soup with all the acronyms and forgot to say I was “ET”. Thanks for the info though! Hopefully I can put it to good use.

So I’m on EST and I desparately need to finish my map completion. I’ve got a few things left in EB and a few in SF’s BL. Is there a time of the day (or night) when I’d have better luck getting the last few things I need?

I swear I’ve seen orange swords (pre-update for sure) when large groups go cliffdiving.

katz.8376:

and a fine good morning on reset day

Dangit! I needed some of those places for completion too.

Does this occur on all servers in a match or just on the outmanned servers? I honestly don’t know because we’re almost always outmanned.
