After reading this thread I could not help but respond. The new map looks awesome and so much to do for so many different types of groups.

Anyone on here that is complaining are 99% the players who complain about everything unless they one push a zerg. The map isn’t even out yet and people are complaining based off of a total of 5 minutes of footage and 1 presentation by the Devs. If you are so easily scared of being knocked off then learn to play? I have gone into EOTM many times as a pugmannder, skill group, and just roamer and it is really not hard to NOT get knocked off. Just learn to actually pay attention.

As for everyone who is complaining about not being able to do anything as a roamer, chances are all you do currently is hide near spawns to try to snipe people and think your pro when you get 3 hits off before they can adjust and counter.

I am excited for the new map for no other reason than I am hoping that some of the complainers quit the game and a new breed of WvW arises that makes full use of the map and really takes WvW to a whole new level of coordination and intensity. Not sit on forums and in spawns complaining that they don’t have enough room to run at another group or that they were too stupid to see a fear line or a necro sitting above them waiting for them to come at them.

To Shadows Creed
Funny, but to me looks like 99% of the people who think this map is “awesome” are EOTM pugmanders like you, Sir.

As for the map
Shortly after the officially announced HoT expansion, in some website (i dont remember which one, maybe even here) Anet devs told us how they learn from they mistakes, how they learn from EOTM huge fail. Then I said to myself, ok thats great news, lets wait and see. Couple weeks ago i saw the first advertising video, and i said to myself, again – cant be only this, lets wait some more. But today i saw the 2nd video + some interview.
And, Oh God what a beautiful map, we got all in one place, deserts, oasis, jungles, cracks in the ground, lava, lava rivers, lava pools, jumping puzzles, sPVP, more sPVP, PVE, new type of mobs to kill, dinosaurs, YEEEY (who doesnt love dinosaurs), air dodging, rock mazes, ABSOLUTLY everything – for dungeon map.
Awesome dungeon map, prob the best i have ever seen.
WvWvW = fights between players???, or i am wrong
Where is the battle in all this. Environment will prob kill 70% of the people before they even have the chance to met some enemys..
This map + stability Nerf, WvWvW will become the most boring part of GW2.
One huge range blob. Why do you think Guardians are getting bows for new weapon (Guard with bow, makes 0 sense, but, hey who cares, few PvEr are QQing for bow and condi Guard in the past 2 years )
Now i know, Anet will never ever gonna take WvWvW seriously. They will do everything they can to push away The Hartcore WvWvW players.
As Anet told us, long time ago, WvWvW is for casual players to use sieges from time to time. Thats all.

The amount of times I have been in EOTM maybe 20 total. The fact you jump to that conclusion is hilarious at best. I ran CTH and for those that were actually apart of Maguuma and the T2 scene when it was at its most vicious. You know full well the ninja ops we pulled off and the skill we had. But just to proove a point to you. Here’s a video we posted up of us during a weekend reset against SOR.

Just had to comment on this. Don’t tell people they do not know about the game and then post wrong info. The wvw dev team stopped centaurs from causing Argo in nwc on borderlands. If you watch they go in and nothing gets agro’d. Same thing with the skritt. They do not even stop capping from occurring anymore.. It is a valid question as town at purpose they were envisioned to do. As it stand probably 25-30 of the map is useless and no one goes to i.e. Northwest and northeast.

Just got to say wow what a response from mark… This thread blew up so quickly but wow that post he put up.

It kind of makes me think that their attention has finally come to wvw.. Here’s to hoping!

I am just going to ask the obvious. How has this not been closed as a matchup thread lol

I’m going to just ask the obvious here…. How has this not been closed yet lol

awesome guild, great to watch them wreck havoc on enemy zergs.

We are still recruiting!

Where is my shout out snoop o.o

3 things came to mind when I saw this post.

1. 9 weeks later and you guys can’t manage to get this right.

2. compensation is appropriate due to your inefficiencies.

3. Someone should prob be fire. a.k.a whoever oversees wvw

but hey we get achievements..which is all we ever want right? WvW=Achievement hunters

All good nacho

If you want to learn about ninja ops just send me a message in game

Only way you are going to get a response is if you make it a “match up thread” and get it locked.

From my opinion playing on mag. All three servers have small scale. You just need to define out what small scale you want to do. Not to push mag too much but there are a bunch of guilds that do small scale on here.

Still looking for some new members to join us! Send us a whisper, we will be happy to talk to you about what we are about.

I have ran with Olaf a few times. In my opinion if you want to enhance your gaming experience and not be doing daily raids of pvd than you NEED to join Olaf. Your gaming experience will be at least twice as fun, guaranteed.

CTH is still recruiting players. We are interested in new and veteran to wvw but looking for players who want to wvw more then just occasionally. Hoping to add 5-10 more guys to our runs to bring our numbers up a bit.

Most important things to us are:

1. good sense of humor.
2. voice coms. ( at least listening cause typing during fights is terrible)
3. repping during raid.
4. being able to handle themselves and their character.
5. being able to handle ninja ops.
Quality is more important to us then quantity.

Send mail or leave message here to learn more.

CTH is recruiting active players for nightly (EST) wvw ninja ops/havoc/defense.

We run NA prime time around 8 pm-11:30pm on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

We do guild missions on Sundays as well. We also do a quick fractal run on Wednesday, followed by Thursday being a Dungeon day to raise gold for siege, as we do blow through a lot in one reset. Saturday has been more of a “day-off” for us unless it’s a dire circumstance.

If this time schedule fits your play-time, even more reason to send us an app!

What we focus on:

We mostly focus on ninja ops of keeps and towers regardless of how upgraded they are (yes we take Wp’d keeps), and coordinating with a larger zerg to distract, attack, or just cause as much damage as possible.

We run small numbers from as low as a few to as high as 15 players. We’re recruiting to have a more stable roster, not because we want to become a bigger guild.

CTH is one of the more known guilds on Maguuma with a reputation for ninja-ops, we’ve been around on Mag for quite awhile.

What we are looking for:

New or Veteran players to wvw who can handle ninja ops, and can make a majority of the guild raids.

We’re open to any class/build currently. As long as you know how to play your build, we do not typically ask you to change it.

We could really use more shout warriors, staff elementalists, and a bunker engi.

We want players who understand and can handle joking around, and not being completely serious all the time, but serious when it matters. We love to joke around, but if we need to focus up, we expect people to focus up and listen.

We expect everyone to run in voice comms regardless of mic or no mic.

To learn more or post here to inquire. More details provided upon serious interest.

Also looking for a few players (4-6) to round out CTH ninja ops/defense/havoc during na primetime.

CTH is looking to fill its ranks with about 4-5 consistent players on Maguuma. Preferably ones who have experience in havoc and ninja ops. Our track record has increased up to taking t3 garrisons multi times from enemies. We have videos of what we do for qualified applicants to view. Message in game or here to learn more!

We are still recruiting!!

we take all classes currently. most important thing is being able to handle small fights regardless of who comes at us and not freaking out if a zerg rolls threw. we have a great track record of maneuvering around the zerg’s to take our targets and open the way for the bigger guilds on the server.

Whipser to learn more! Don’t be afraid to just inquire!

We run from 8:00pm est-12:00 pmest almost nightly and looking to increase our size to about 10-15 players total maybe more!

Company of traveling heroes is looking for new and veteran active players who like to wvw nightly. We run havoc squads, ninja ops on keeps and towers and defense during na prime time.

Looking to recruit players who can handle small fights and ninjaing. We use voice comms and chat. Work alongside the bigger guilds in the server.

We have a great track record and want to increase our force. Mail Shadows Creed.3902 if you are interested in learning more. Or post here

Aside from AOEing the walls; to me as defending both keeps and towers its quiet annoying how you can’t put supply into a gate without getting AOE’d to death. It is quiet annoying to die because aoe’s go threw the gates; it makes repairing the gate to hold off a zerg until reinforcements come. Countless times zerg’s take keeps over that have 1.4k supply or even more near max just because its death to try to repair a gate.

I am not saying that 10 people should be able to hold off a 30 man zerg but there is a point where it becomes quiet impractical to hold anything just due to the sheer aoe death that comes from being within “safe” area. As for the aoeing on walls, there are spots along the walls in some towers where the walls go vertically up in order to give the appearance of defend able spots but the aoe rings completely ignore them. To me it would make more sense to make it so that those spots were safety spots from aoe’s. I am not saying every wall spot should have them but there are some towers that there are no safe spots no the walls and players are resorting to trying to throw from down below to get it as far back as possible to the point where the arrow cart looks like it is either in the wall or in mid air.

A balance has to be found no doubt but being able to aoe the entire wall certainly is on one end of the spectrum of favoring the attackers and on the other end is not being able to hit them at all. Somewhere in the middle where certain classes only could hit them. The idea of a ranger being able to only hit them as an interesting one since they were touted as a aoe and range class. Clearly just one class wouldn’t be fair so maybe just rangers and ele’s for example could have moves that could clear siege.

The idea of taking a tower isn’t for zergs to come rushing threw it like it was open all along, it should be a pain to take that way it stops the non stop ktraining. If ktraining was extremely hard to pull off the roamers would probably get more people to play with, gvgers would probably get more guilds to fight and you would see less blobs cause they weren’t taking a map over in 30 minutes sometimes even less when they pull 4 superior rams and 3-4 omegas per gate. (Yes I have been on the receiving end and the giving end of those zergs)

DevonCarver.5370:

Season 1 is going forward as we described, however nothing about future seasons is set in stone. We’ll take a look at the data we get from the first season and will absolutely make adjustments so that future seasons are even better than the first one.

My concern with four leagues is simply that there isn’t enough variety at that point. I could very well be wrong, but we are going to try season 1 this way and then we’ll take a look at how it played out.

All I am going to say to this is for variety Maguuma for the most part just gets paired up with TC,DB,FA until a couple weeks ago. Not sure what variety is defined for you guys, but same 3 servers week in and week out…Not Variety

I can’t agree more on a bunch of different posts. It is becoming ridiculous to get all the achievements for most people who have full time jobs. Almost every time they release a new “content” they then need to put out at least 1 patch to fix critical bugs that if they took a day and played it themselves they would see. Lastly, it does nothing but have everyone going at a break neck pace to keep up; every few months new stuff that is well thought out would be better in my opinion then every 2 weeks.

Company of Traveling Heroes (CTH) is recruiting active players who are looking to help build and grow the guild as a whole. We have tier 6 upgrades, our own website and facebook page.

We are currently 130+ strong but like to maintain that small guild feeling of being a group of friends.

We do all facets of the game, pve, pvp, wvw, dungeon runs, guild missions, meta event farming and more!

If your team wipes against the boss. is it still possible to get this achievement if you dodge the final barrage? or is it like the unfriendly skies and you have to get it first time?
