Scumbag Mawile.6384:

Yer lucky, ET. That Garri was drained, every keep and supply camp was green, but we had too many idiots headbutting guards outside the wall breach to properly rush 2 unupgraded ACs and a ballista.

dem 8th tier skillz

I would like to think it was due to my (and my co-cannoneer’s) l33t cannon skills. I love you Bessie, ’ole girl!

If it’s wrong to have a relationship with a cannon, I don’t EVER wanna be right.

MrLT.6028:

There will be several different options for how other players are presented to you, on the client side that you can choose from so you can control how it works for you.

Scleameth.6809:

But ET and FC should hit SF BL more often to keep them honest and get that super upgraded green homeland painted with some bright red and blue!!

Truer words were never spoken, my friend.

Runamok.9638:

I think it is more of a our folks are sacrificing sleep to play longer to keep second place vs. an influx of fresh blood into ET.

That’s been my experience. I have the bags under my eyes to prove it. haha

Even when I SHOULD have went to bed when WvW went down last night, I STILL hung around just so I could pop back on and do “one more thing”. I may have been the second person back on ET and finally did go to bed after helping to grab back our camps. The “extra” rest was definately needed.

Pendragon.8735:

I offered another solution if they think the orange swords are too easy, make it part of the upgrade system, to have to pay for better alerts. The NPCs need to serve a purpose, it certainly isn’t fighting or defending. If everything should be up to the players, then there should not even be silver swords.

That’s a pretty neat idea. Just like the NPC’s run up to you in PvE flailing there arms around that Jack So-and-So just got eaten by a Drake and he needs help saving him from the beasts belly RIGHT NOW. Maybe also allow the NPC some sort of quickness skill that they can use to try and get away from the zerg. A chase ensues. Can the attackers catch the sentry in time?

Ungood.3054:

…40 of them came, in seven ways, throwing everything from alchemist to rhinos at me, and we held the line, that’s right. me, myself, and I, took down the entirety of SF in one go!

That one guy had a straw and some spitballs too. I was watching from the hill.

GambitsEnd.6028:

What’s funny is that a good 85% of the fights I’m a part of in WvW (SF player) generally involves the following:

— Enemies totaling x2-x5 the size of my force
— Both ET and FC attacking just SF locations at all times (because apparently they need two servers to take back 20% of a map for an hour before we take it all back)
— The ET or FC zerg wiping (90% chance)

I mean kitten guys, when 4 SF can kill an entire ET zerg (35+) after the wall goes down (with no siege to help), that’s sad. Very sad. And this is not an isolated event, myself and a few others do similar battles (and win) on a daily basis.

And seriously guys, failing 70% of all SM raids when there is an entire server knocking at the northern AND another server at the South-eastern gates … wow.

I’m not saying SF is good (we’re in bottom Tier, so obviously not), we’re just not as bad. Please train your people. Thank you.

EDIT: Forgot to add that I’m impressed with the current change in power in ET, you guys are providing at least some resistance lately. Which cannot be said for FC, sadly.

It’s like you’re speaking a completely different language.

EDIT: Mostly

Even sending out two scouts to monitor an entire map would be reducing our “zerg” by 20%!

I started a guild a few weeks ago that is on the tiny side of the spectrum: just my wife and me. I have no intention of adding additional members. We’ve been able to accumulate about 7,500 influence through regular play and the free gifts you get from Black Lion chests (and keys found normally). We’ve been able to buy several upgrades as well as stockpile some MF (etc) banners.

I’m not sure how viable some of the new guild stuff is going to be with such a small membership, but I guess I’ll cross that bridge when I get a chance to see it. (updating now).

I guess to answer your question, the actual creation of a guild is super easy. Increasing (and maintaining) your membership level is entirely dependent on your personality.

Another possible solution: different WvW maps. The super high populations (maybe after a couple of weeks of straight roflstomping) get sent to a less-defensible map. The low population server gets sent to a more easily defensible map.

Maybe guild XYZ all took a vacation from work and school this week. Now that I think about it, I haven’t seen a whole lot of Mend lately. (Except Ele last night). What kind of sneakiness are you guys up too? Whatever it is, keep up the good work!

FilthyRat.4652:

I’m pretty sure that ET has received a bunch of new transfers in last week to account for this shift. Pretty evident since there is now a night crew there.

I personally saw no new transfers represented last night. No new guild tags that I noticed. It’s possible, of course, that there were some individuals here and there though. What I did see were 6+ of our regular Commanders calling in as many of their guild as they could. When I went to bed at like 2am, there were still at least two of them on ET and one or two had moved to other maps. I suspect there are lots of us sleep deprived this morning.

I’d be (pleasantly) surprised if we’re able to keep that kind of (insane) commitment up for long.

FilthyRat.4652:

GrandmaFunk.3052:

The key element I never notice being discussed when this topic comes up is…. would being matched with any server other than SF actually be.. better?

Ignoring flaws in how the ratings function, wouldn’t any other match-up be arguably much worse for ET/FC?

Well here is scoreboard and screen shot of match right now…but it keeps being said we field T5 numbers.

“Greater numbers” is not necessarily synonymous with “greater skill” .

I’d really love to see some sort of stats that tell us EXACTLY how many people are playing on any given server at any given time. Or heck, even an average would be fine. (Are these numbers available and I’ve just missed them?). It would put a lot of the “numbers conversation” to rest one way or another.

My evidence is purely anecdotal, but when I’m in WvW in the evening/night time frame, it appears we’re outnumbered significantly in ET.

Another Monday with waaaaaay too little sleep. Good (and intense) times last night. I think at one point we had 6 Commanders on our BL organizing the recapping of all our stuff after we nearly lost it all. Once SF was at the Garrison gate, the call went out and a bunch of us came back from other maps, sprang into action, and began methodically taking everything back. My highlight of the evening was Omnix(?) and me fending off an entire SF zerg from the hallway of the Lord’s Room at Askalonian Hills. After we finished, I said, “Did WE just do that?!?!…HELL YEAH!” Sadly, we could not hold the second charge several minutes later but it was still awesome!

For a while I wondered why SF seemed to be leaving Ferg completely alone while they rampaged through ET, but I think we eventually caused enough devastation that we broke their spirit and they eventually left to look for an easier fight. (Hopefully they didn’t find it there either. )

Good fights last night everyone!

Ynot.8397:

I’m not sure how I feel about breakout style events. Those seem almost cheaty to me.

I love them AND hate them. When “Server A” has 100% of their own borderlands, 100% of EB, and most of “Server B”, there is no way in heck that they should be able to start a breakout event in “Server C”.

Server B however should be able to start a breakout event in Server A’s lands.

Holy Moly i’m such a newb. I discovered what my problem is.

Apparently when I double-clicked to use it I was actually IN the bank screen and instead of using it, yeap you guessed it, it went into my bank storage.

ARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH.

Well, at any rate, I thought I would post that here as a PSA in hopes that I may save someone else the awkwardness.

On a more important note, anyone know how I cancel a service ticket? I have my ticket number.

Yeap. I’ve always purchased mine with the little key button as well. This time I used the little consumeable that they send you in the mail. First time I ever saw it too. I think it’s something new they added this month.

Good Evening Everyone.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up about a problem that I just had:

I currently have 6 bank slots and went to purchase another slot (on sale) through the BLT. I spent the 480 gems and I received the item via in-game-mail. I retrieved it to my inventory and clicked it to use it. The item disappeared but a seventh bank slot was not added. It’s been about 15 minutes now and still nothing has popped up in my bank slot.

I’ve submitted an in-game bug report. Cross your fingers for me!

(Just to reiterate, I DID receive the e-mail with the item and attempted to use it from my inventory. This is NOT a “I didn’t get my e-mail” problem)

SniffyCube.6107:

yes, I’ll tell you what I told the two TC people that just msged me “You disgust me for trying to capitalize on our situation… we aren’t a fairweather guild and I have no respect for you trying to poach what remaining wvw players we have from t8. Don’t msg me again”

SniffyCube, I liked you before. I love you now.

Omne.4603:

I don’t know how you guys stay on these servers. Not bashing just props and genuine curiosity.

Because it’s my home. (Cheesy? Cliche? Maybe, but there it is.)

Darxio.5672:

Second shows how badly SF wanted to take SM… and how badly they failed too. They outnumbered us, but proper siege placement and high quality siege made sure that we could stand toe-to-toe against their numbers and tactics, even with inferior numbers. I love this action shot.

Awwwww…sadly I had to leave for work before I got a chance to participate in that defense. At least I had some success with those pesky catapults I kamikazee’d a couple of times though. Didn’t have enough time left for the portal plan so I had to take matters into my own hands. Congrats everyone!

Maybe this is the conspiracy theorist in me, but is there any chance Anet is intentionally letting this play out as it is currently so that we’ll fork out the cash to switch servers? What if they’ve leared that they have too many servers (or can increase capacity on the ones they have) and are looking for ways to consolidate. Maybe they figured they would make as much money as they could from the disgruntled people transferring before they offered a reduced-price or free option?

A company wouldn’t do something like this would they? Would they?

Here’s another thought about how this ranking system works: If SF is consitantly ruling T8 and the system seems to indicate that since it’s “as expected”, there is little possibility of them moving up a tier, what would happen if ET and FC suddenly starting making more points? Is it possible, as the system stands now, to do a whole lot better but still not “win” the points race, and still move up in rankings?

For example, say the score over the last several weeks was: SF (450,000), FC (75,000), ET (65,000) but suddenly, and for the next couple of weeks, the scores starting looking like SF (350,000), FC (190,000), ET (50,000). Because FC showed a significant points improvement, would they be “better than expected” and be able to move up to another tier?

King Amadaeus.8619:

1. Its just a game bro, take off the braveheart facepaint and simmer down.

I look good in facepaint. Sowhat? I was literally standing in front of my keyboard with my Claymore and kilt (sans underpants ofc) while I was typing my response so I’m very proud of you for being able to ascertain that I was ready for war.

King Amadaeus.8619:

2. For the record I am one of these “fairweather friends” you mentioned, I left ET for SF. But that had nothing to do with winning or losing. It had to do with things like: map completion, thinking SF was going to move out of the T8th circle of WvW hell, getting a different match up sometime this year, and MOST importantly moving to a server where the participation in WvW only fluctuates slightly.

See my earlier post about my impressions.

King Amadaeus.8619:

3. If SF does escape the T8 death grip, and we start getting wiped and people start quitting WvW (Like they did in ET), I will likely leave. I can excuse losing, I cannot deal with people who wont even try. THAT is what happened to ET, its no mystery, every Friday night its a real fight for SF, but that doesn’t sustain. The only reason it doesn’t is because of lack of effort, IE: showing up and representing your server…

The group of awesome people that I fought beside last night while defending our BL and during our excursions to EB say otherwise. We still have plenty of life left in us, despite our predicament. Maybe our numbers don’t allow us to commit full (plus) time but that doesn’t mean we won’t give you (or anyone) a run for their money when we can.

3. The arguing in ET was terrible, but the thing that was way worse is when it went all quiet…I was logging into EB at 4-8pm (EST) and there were literally 5-6 people on for ET…

Each night that I’m in WvW, I see new people asking about how things work, looking for pointers, sometimes just asking how to leave WvW. New Commanders, while not popping up nearly as frequently, still appear as well. I’m not talking about people who just wanted to burn 100g. I’m talking about people who show an active interest and participate in making ET better. I’ve seen the arguing as well, but it is the exception and not the rule. I know there are many reasons for it, but I’d like to cling to the fact that we all want to see our server succeed (or at least hold our ground) so despite our differences (and sometimes bickering), we still have a common goal.

King Amadaeus.8619:

4. Finally, people really, I mean really….Do not act like your server is some kind of glorious bastion that you must defend with your life…We all paid money for this game, if your server sucks leave, I did…Twice…I still have friends on ET, we run dungeons, see each other on the battlefield…But I wouldn’t ever go back, doesn’t make me a coward or a backstabber….Just makes me someone who wants to enjoy a game I paid RL money for and spend RL time playing….I am not going to sit and have a miserable WvW experience for some falsely perceived notion of “server loyalty”.

But you defend it with your “life” each and every time you play WvW! If my server sucks, then I make more of an effort to turn it around. When the going gets tough, I don’t get going. I’m not going to pretend to know what kind of effort you put into making not one, not two, but three servers better in WvW but I find lightning rarely strikes twice (thrice?)

Finally, with all that being said, enjoyment is relative I guess. You’ve seen what I enjoy. I’ve seen what you enjoy. To each his own. See you on the field and good day to you sir. [/salute]

Reize.2176:

What if we tried the opposite and fill the map with Veteran npc characters that roam the map and peg their population to match the highest populated server, and have them attack objectives at intervals like what MOBAs do?

That seems pretty clever actually.

Linkisdead.9647:

Communication: Stepping into our BL for the first time was a little overwhelming. No one was talking at all, I had no idea where to go or what do do….Another thing I’ve seen is a lot of players will see an enemy group or get rolled by one, but don’t call out any troop numbers or location.

I talk so much I figure at some point everyone is going to tell me to STFU in map chat. I’m always calling out stuff. “White swords at Gods”. “Orange swords at Cliff”. “2 FC just ran towards Arah”. “Zerg of 25 heading towards you Commander!”. “60 SF heading your way guys, GET IN TEH GARRISON!!!11!11on”.

I’m a hardcore gamer but my skill with GW2 is really only average (at best) so I try to find other ways to stay useful. Calling out stuff when I see it and doing some of the more “mundane” things like renewing siege, taking out sentry’s and veterans, yakstomping, teaming up with another 1 or 2 to grab an undefended camp, etc. One on one? I’ll probably go down every time; I just had to find my niche. (I’m improving though!)

Linkisdead.9647:

Tactics: We don’t seem to employ specific strategies, mostly I see us just build one or two siege and zerg the gate until it pops or we get pushed out. Now I’m assuming a lot of that has to do with the fact that A) I haven’t played with a Guild yet and it works almost everytime due to overwhelming numbers and I don’t mean to troll or anyting but a lot of the defenders have been pushovers.

I saw some fantastic stuff going down yesterday in ET. I could barely pry myself away from WvW to get some sleep. We had some great Commanders on the field and even a brand new one that is already making a nice impact. (You know who you are! Awesome job at Cliffside! )

Linkisdead.9647:

I’d love to group up with some more experienced SF on teamspeak so I could learn a bit more. I’ve had equal fun rolling with the zerg as well as roaming/taking SCs. I don’t require a guild invite or anything, but it would be fun to be a part of some more organized teams.

This helps a TON. I’ve been really fortunate to be allowed to hang with a pretty groovy guild while still being able to keep my own guild allegiance. They’re a fun bunch and really know how to get the job done. (Thanks guys and gals!) I am also able to join them on Vent so that’s really helpful too. Occasionally, they’ll also have “training sessions” where they talk about siege placement, tactics, etc.

Welcome to WvWvW! I think you’re on the right track and I look forward to you killing me on the field.

I’m smart enough to know that someone who has a nice blue icon above their head isn’t necessarily a good LEADER. Commander yes. Leader no. Just like I know someone who is wielding a couple of legendary weapons isn’t necessarily a good player.

Through playing with that commander, seeing how their strategies play out, and seeing how they cooperate, motivate, succeed (or learn from failure) tells me whether or not to follow them or strike out on my own.

Granted, your average player may just blindly follow the blue Dorrito, but they’ll learn quickly enough who’s worth listening to and who isn’t. I think (hope?) most of my server has figured it out.

FilthyRat.4652:

And be truthful about the real situation on your servers please with all the infighting, guilds not working together, and the way people act in map chat. i have talked to several member that came to our server in the week alone.

If people are paying to get out of there and come with awful stories about certain servers then it seems like you need to do some internal work and and start working together.

We’re frustrated. People argue. Just like family. At the end of the day (like last night at Garrison), we pull together to get things done regardless of our disputes.

Enjoy those several members who just joined you in SF. As soon as it gets tough for you guys, the’ll bail on you too. Maybe it’s just my disgust showing, but I have absolutely NO regard for fairweather friends that are essentially stabbing their own brothers and sisters in the back by joining the “enemy”.

I’m just one guy, but FWIW, I will NOT leave Eredon Terrace.

Awesome job defending the garrison last night ET. Before I finally had to log for sleep, I believe we had defended 4 different wall breaches and some other minor attacks on the water gate, etc. At one point it looked like the whole western wall had been knocked down. Me and ’ole Bessie (a cannon) got about 30 loot bags in a pretty small amount of time. Sadly, they only contained about 6 badges.

A pretty sizeable SF force managed to get in at one point and we managed to repair the walls which blocked them in as we methodically pushed them back into a corner (literally) and wiped them one by one. All in all, pretty epic. SF, I know you had no place to retreat to but you sure did put up a nice fight against impossible odds. Fought to the last man.

Edit: and how I soooooooo wished a large group would have attacked Cliffside. It was very well prepared/upgraded to defend against a huge siege. It would have been a pretty nice “last stand” for us if it had come to it.

Shademehr.1397:

I just wanted to say thanks to that SF ranger that pulled me out of the tower wall last night (then killed me). I was stuck in that dern thing for about 15 minutes. I couldn’t port because I was considered “in battle” and didn’t really want to DC entirely because I was enjoying the SF vs Ferg action that was going on around all the catapults. It was kind of exhilirating to litterally be inches away from the enemy while we stood there face to face. I could almost see some of the perplexed looks on faces as I /danced and /waved. (Why isn’t there an emote for /PleasePutMeOutOfMyMisery?)

When I finally got “freed” by the SF ranger, it was on the interior side of the wall (it was theirs) and I was so shocked, I couldn’t even manage an appropriate defense. lol

[/NotHackingJustBuggyAsHeck]

I don’t know about the logistics of where you were trapped, but when we have people trapped in walls and doors, we find that a mesmer can sometimes drop a portal close enough you can click on it and get out.

I do not know if you were in a situation where this would have helped, but if it ever happens again, give it a try! Being stuck in walls is only fun for so long

Actually, I was hanging out with you guys when it happened and I’ve seen ya’ll previously rescue someone using this method. Unfortunately, battle conditions weren’t enough in our favor to use this method this time.

Great tip though! I thought it was pretty clever when I saw you guys do it.

Can’t emotes be turned off from the chat box? Seems like a good way to “rise above” getting into the /dance /laugh /whatever conversation altogether.

At the end of the day though, this is war. War is nasty. War is brutal. It should be. A guy the other day on ET had a pretty eloquent comment in map chat when he said, “If you’re red, you’re dead.” (referencing the “invader” tag coloring) I wish I could recall who said it. Kudos to you. It’s the brutal but correct view imo.

Gwalchgwn.1659:

(ps: I prefer getting a stomp kill than reserving my utility when there are 2 of my friends downed who can be revived instantly with just that kill)

That is a GREAT point and while I’m sure lots of us are mindful of things like this, it’s great to put it out there.

Will Sorrow’s Furnace continue to hold an iron grip over EB and their own Borderlands?

SCORE AS OF 2/4/13 2:00 AM EST

As of 2/5/2013, I’d say yes. ;D

That’s ridiculous. Don’t you people work/go to school/sleep/eat/breath?

Thanks for the build Kylar. I’ve been having a hard time wrapping my head around some of the other thief builds out there but this one “clicked” with me. Enough so, that I spent the last of my coin getting my own thief set up with it.

Now that I’m poor again, I’m hoping I can put it to good use in WvW so that I can refill my coffers.

I, for one, am OUTRAGED.

Dear Anet,

There are many jumping puzzles throughout the realm of Tyria. Sadly, only four of them allow PvP while doing them. I am really really really upset about this. Why don’t they all allow PvP? I am completely sick of jumping around like Mario and Luigi, trying to get my achievements and treasure and not being able to bump the guy next to me off the ledge, to his/her dooooom. I also wouldn’t mine Scorpion Hook’ing some kitteny kitten right off a pedestal so that I can have a face-to-face “conversation”. It burns my hiney to see that guy all the way at the end by that nice shiny chest when I don’t have a clue how to get there myself.

I can’t believe you would put PvE jumping puzzles in PvE areas. The nerve…

I’m never buying another thing from the gem store. Like, AT ALL!!11!111!11one!

Wasabi Kitty.8247:

No one’s gonna pay to transfer to a server just for that. You’re not gonna get more than a small handful of people

I’ll take a small handful of people any day

Yeah, when EVERYONE makes a difference, a handful is still a pretty big difference.

I recall we started talking about the mes portal glitching situation back in this threadhttps://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/1-11-Ferguson-s-C-Sorrow-s-F-Eredon-T/page/2#post1227398 as I was a witness to it (feel free to peruse my long rambling message) as well as a few others noting it as well. I’m glad as a group we can condemn this type of behavior (at least publicly). Now with that being said, I and a few friends witnessed an ET guy doing this last night. We elected to not use the portal out of principle, but there were many others that just zerged into it. I’m sure some of them knew what was happening but I can’t say that all of them did. For this reason, I can’t blame the people in the zerg nearly as much as I blame the actual portal creators themselves. Ignorance IS bliss after all. I guess I’m just asking that we put on our “kid gloves” when dealing with some of our fellow guildies as they may not truly understand what is happening here. I’m all for communication though. Get the word out to your folks, THEN take off the kid gloves.

LOVED the massive fight last night at the garrison. I had hoped for another such battle on the other side of the map at EH but it never came. Stayed up WAAAAAY to late last night (this morning) and I am paying for it today. haha. A special thanks to the two commanders on the field. I completely and utterly fail at remembering names but one of you was “killingfishes” and you were doing a great job with the smaller skirmishes, supply camps, etc. and the other guy in garrison was doing a great job getting everyone to get that seige built.

AnyaOokami.6205:

Themanbat.3206:

Why the kitten is the PvP guild on SF still not banned? kitten your bullkitten rules about not calling out this crap while you sit around doing nothing. They just wall jumped into bay and then greenlake right after while we couldn’t get there in time. Best part is they have followers helping them outside of their guild. Seriously, Anet, wtf. And who the hell of SF is ok with this?

Yeah – Anet called me out on that post, btw. Warned me for “Guild Assassination”.

shrugs I honestly didn’t think I was guild assassinating. I thought I was pointing out a problem and asking that the server keep an eye out for it. I’m certainly not going to call out an entire server on the poor decisions of a minority of people – and I certainly didn’t call out the entire guild.

[tl;dr: I’m in the safe and secure Cliffside for 2+ hours. Portal appears on top of wall and invaders start coming through the portal. They took the keep, then we killed them as they attempted to leave.]

This may answer the question I had, but first a disclaimer: I am fairly new and very inexperienced when it comes to WvW. Sometimes I do poorly and sometimes I do well (aka: get lucky).

Late last night, I was in Cliffside for at least 2 hours (straight) on my thief and there was also a ranger (you were a pretty pleasant fellow btw. sorry I can’t remember your name atm). We chatted about the game a bit, compared gear, etc. I built a few arrow carts, upgraded the cannons and did some other things. Occasionally, a small force (maybe 3-6 invaders) would show up and we would repel them. Someone built a ballista on the ground and it was awesome “bait” for the invaders. Sometimes a single invader would run by and I’d jump off the wall and attack them. Some might think 2+ hours is excessive, but I learned quite a bit from watching the map, listening to map chat, upgrading, etc. It was pretty awesome.

Suddenly, right next to me on the wall above the gate, a portal appears and invaders began appearing RIGHT ON THE WALL next to me. It really caught me by surprise. I tossed out a few rushed attacks and went down. I think I managed to bleed someone to death because I revived. The attackers moved north along the wall and up the cliff to attack the NPC’s in the tower. I made a beeline for the opposite end of the wall and took a couple of seconds to recover while map chatting the situation. I then ran towards them and tried to be a general annoyance and then jumped off the wall out of the keep when their attention turned towards me. They persued and the real fight started on the ground. I held my own as allies began trickling in and we dispatched them pretty quickly. Then we retook Cliffside.

Is this how the mesmer portals work or was I witnessing something else?

Also, I was in another location and watched a Veteran guard take damage from an unseen source. The Vet made no attempt to fight back and never moved from his spot while his life was slowly whittled away. It eventually died. Another ET guy watched it too and stated that the Vet was being attacked by someone “underground with water weapons.”

What’s up with all that? (and sorry for the rambling. I had a pretty good time last night and I’m kinda excited about it.)

Soulsa.5627:

Been using this a while now, sure more an 80 build but yea axe/mace is awesome with double vulnerability and this build is pretty epic

http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/75020-my-final-axemace-dps-dungeon-build/

I switched from dual axes (used more for aesthetics than anything) to the build linked above a couple of weeks ago and I LOVE it. I’m not sure that I’m ready to give up my rifle but that’s mostly out of ignorance of what the longbow can/can’t do. I should seriously look into it though.

I was doing some solo PvE and map completion last night and had just placed my banner. Another random warrior runs up and grabs my banner, hits the swiftness, and runs off with the banner…

I could see picking it up to buff the party (or even yourself) and then placing it back down, but that was just ridiculous.

Thanks kiba. I guess I should get out for “vacation” on Southsun Cove more often. I’m so overworked…

Maybe I’ve just never noticed this before but there are 4 golems building an Asuran Portal on Pearl Islet in Southsun Cove. They appear to be under the “supervision” of a Consortium Reprensentative.

New or just never noticed?

I’ve not had a single lockup until this event. 3 now in the last hour or so where I’ve had to hold the power button.

Canach in Eredon.
