Isn’t this the build Mask has posted many moons ago?
Idk who that is, but maybe. Do you have a link to his build?
That vendor is sticking around permanantly, so no rush to spend all your candy
Eventually, though, the supply of cakes & candy will diminish, with the end of the event. Supply is great as of now, but as people continue to use this cheaper alternative, it will fall & demand will rise. Remember that these only last 20 minutes, so while it’s a more cost-effective alternative right now, people will burn through them quick & the prices will eventually be on par with that of the rare veggie pizzas.
Calm the smurf down, Dan
I just saw this thread while at work and was considering entering on my engi, til i found out we are too “Pro” for this amateur tournament, being rank 42 and all…
rofl, yeah. I volunteered anyway because there wasn’t many entries, but looks like they’ll get it covered. It’s probably better that way, though. It wouldn’t be much fun for us
Next month we are having a rank 30 plus version of it for all of the high ranked players to face off!
I’ll look forward to it

Demand shot up this morning. Almost 30k buy offers came out of nowhere. Looks like people are finally starting to figure it out. Good thing I already bought 3k ^^
How about below rank 42?
I’m an amateur, just ask anyone.
I’d really like to see engineers wrecking faces with gadgets and turrets and kits other than the Bomb one.
This build doesn’t actually use bombs or grenades, which I was quite fond of. Makes it so I can’t solo camps QUITE so easily, but it works. I still miss the grenades sometimes for the chill, but I’ve been okay thus far. I have never been a fan of bombs, even in real PvP, and I don’t think I’d ever consider using them for WvW. I use Elixir H, Elixir B, Elixir S & Toolkit. Damage comes from pistol/pistol & some from toolkit, especially pry bar.
I run HGH. Mostly carrion, some rampager, some rabid. I have some toughness, decent crit chance, and with HGH, over 2k power & condi.
Awesome video! Awesome Engineer!
It would be great to see Your build! Thank You!
Eventually!
Greatly appreciate the re-upload Shank , now we can analyze more clearly whats going on :P
My pleasure. Hope you enjoy it.

Sorry BP, but if you guys would have more roaming groups, we wouldn’t have to do this. Zerging isn’t fun!
Couldnt watch but 4 mins of it but i imagine you got the downvote cause of the poor video quality but nice job on the kills. Pretty good engie
Hey, so due to popular demand, I re-uploaded the video in 1080p.
Here’s the new link:
When BP came back to tier 5 we still stomped you guys over and over.
Lol just Lol. The day AR stomps BP is the day I get a tattoo.
Also, I think SBI’s population depends on morale. That’s how BP used to be before we vsed Ebay for 13 weeks in a row. We kept losing but we never gave up cough unlike AR cough.
I think most of AR quit because most of AR doesn’t actually play WvW. We are the pvp server, and most of us only PvP. I only got into WvW like 2 weeks ago.
Not enough people playing —> People that do play were getting zerged to death —> A lot of people left to join a more active WvW server.
I personally only roam in groups of less than 5, usually completely solo. AR is a decent tier for me to do this in, but you guys are already too zergy most times for me to be able to do it effectively.
only thing i dislike about the matchup so far is the complete lack of solo people running around.
I’ll get them occasionally but they’re interrupted very quickly by people on opposing side or my side.
Makes filming videos incredibly hard.
I started a requirement for videos I did on the last one I did
They must have food buffs, unless there is more then 1.
Underlveled people don’t make it in the video either unless they’re with an 80
I actually re-watched my video, and I only included a single, short clip of me 1v1ing an under-leveled person.
I make a habit to delete any clips where friendlies outnumber the enemy, so every kill in the video, except 1, is:
-A 1v1
-An outmanned solo fight
-An outmanned team fight
-I believe there is a single team fight where we have even numbersSo, in lieu of this, I don’t feel too bad about it.
Its not a bad video, cept for the quality, was just pointing out things you might want to include in future videos
trust me when I say people will kitten to high heavens about people without food.
Yea I agree…I started watching the video but I’m too spoiled with my HD
sorry. I’m sure it was a great movie. From what I could tell from the beginning though…you’re most likely a good engy. I’m also sure this was more about pointing out that you can still get some solo action so kudos to you!
Sorry about that guys. Next time I’ll definitely take the extra time to upload in 1080!
Edit:
I’ll actually just re-upload this one in 1080. I’ll update this post with the new link.
Edit 2:
Here’s the new vid link, in 1080p.

good fights, good song choice too
Thanks! Glad people liked the music, I wasn’t too sure about it this go around.
Nice video good fights. Would you mind telling me what the first song is I really like it. Thanks
Thanks. The first song is called Start Shootin’ by Little People.
Ok now you know better than to go down that hill with low hp..the most shallow hills will damage you for 60% if not instagibb in this game lol
Rofl, yeah, I didn’t realize it was quite so steep until I was already down. I was hoping it was a little jump, but yeah, no such luck. After like 6 continuous kills though I was kind of on auto pilot. Personally I thought it was a hilarious end to the killing spree.
It was only me + 1 of my buddies, we had a pug come in about halfway through the fight but I don’t know how long he actually stayed. Had to be over 8 enemies.
(edited by Shanks R Us.2489)
A couple days ahead of you.
I have 2000 Koi Cakes sitting in my bank.
…I might have gone overboard.
I actually have around 2k as well =P.
Will resell quite nicely.

Well, if you can bring yourself to deal with 480p, I recommend watching the last clip in the video. It’s rather entertaining

Hmm I can’t remember exactly but I may have ran into you in the last match. I’m an Asura Guardian with Volcanus. I suck against Engineers though so hopefully if I did run into you, you weren’t filming :P
Oh and I can’t believe people still get mad about being emoted after death almost a year on. It happens, it’s just an emote. Calm blue ocean…
I think my finisher speaks for itself most times

Eh, I didn’t think it was too bad in 480. Last time I saved it in HD youtube told me I was stupid. I’ll take the extra time to upload in 1080p next time, then.
Can you post your build?
Soon.

I’ll take that into consideration for the next one. I’ll probably take out any 1v1’s that aren’t 80 for sure.
Watch in HD! Re-uploaded in 1080:

This is ridiculous. Happens almost every single time during CoF runs now. It just happened 3 TIMES IN A SINGLE RUN.
I tried running full screen.
I tried running windowed mode.
Set the settings to best performance.
Set frame limiter to 30 and 60.
I tried updating my drivers.
I tried restarting.
I tried having absolutely nothing open except GW.
And I haven’t made kitten for progress. This HAS to be something on your end, Anet. I’m going to fill out a support ticket, in the meantime, if anyone has any theories, I’d love to hear them.
This happened in WvW last night. Wasn’t during anything that took a lot of graphic power, like a zerg fight.
Have you made any changes to the regisrty or used a program that alters registry to supposedly reduce latency in games? If you have then that could be the problem. Not so long ago I had a similar problem when playing in a dungeon it would keep crashing, but outside of dungeons it was fine.
I had made changes to registry to improve latency and when I reversed those changes the game no longer crashed. If you havn’t done any changes like it could be some other networking issue.
I don’t think so, no. I’ve had 2 different ISP’s and have had the problem happen in both.
Updated my drivers last night. Left my computer off all night. Went to do CoF this morning, low settings. Still crashed.
Anybody have any help for this?
The crash is weird, it’s like my graphics card dies. The monitor goes black, loses DVI signal, but I can still hear music playing & the computer stays on. This ONLY happens when I run CoF. I don’t run any other dungeons but it’s never happened while playing WvW or PvP.
Things I’ve done to try to remedy the problem:
This: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Black-Screen-Issue-AMD-ATI . Was already done, no help there.
I normally play on max settings and run over 50 FPS. I turned it down to best performance to no avail. Was running 150 fps on best performance.
Set it to have a maximum of 60 fps on best performance, game looked like total kitten, still happened.
I have a gaming PC. This shouldn’t happen.
i5 3570k 3.4ghz
AMD radeon 7770 (xfx ghost)
Win 7 64 bit
Does this happen to anyone else? I have considered that my card may be overheating, but why would it only during this dungeon? Even on super low settings? Clearly running WvW with TONS of people all spamming their skills on MAX settings should make it crash as well. I even run engi with nades, that’s a lot of particles that have never given me trouble.
The site kind of crapped out on me while posting these, I apologize for the duplicates.
I re-uploaded my engineer 100nades video with music. It’s much better now.
I also did a quick WvW vid with some clips on my engi. I didn’t have too many clips (I always forget to record), so next time, I’ll have more solo-play.

So the mesmer used decoy… Knew your heal was on CD other wise you would have used it already when your health was that low…. Son… plain and simple you got out played….
I love how you overlook the fact that he started attacking me when I was at 50%.
Oh yeah, totally out played.

Thieves guild is easily counterable? HOW? Thief stealths… thieves guild pops you couldn’t interrupt it because several interrupts require a target and if you could… whats that? The thief can just stealth and retry knucks! Once thieves guild pops these guys offer consistent DPS and CC. And by consistent I mean their unload hits for 5k and on the death break down the second most damaging skill is twisting fang (dagger #3 no offhand). Don’t tell me this can be easily countered… When it comes to summons thieves guild out performs every other summons in the game.
Perhaps.
You can dodge the initial volley of their pistol unload and kite them. Also, I play an engineer, so, I have:
-Glue puddle to keep them off me.
-Freeze grenade to keep them & thief off me.
-Flash grenade to make them miss.
-Shield block to block their attacks.
I guess I meant to say I can easily counter it.
I’ll PM you in-game, Craig.
Edit:
Do you know how much transferring to FA would be? Is it one of the 1.8k ones?
My thread about this got closed, but that’s okay, I was being a kitten about it.
Thieves guild is easily counterable. Engi supply crate is hard but still ABLE to be countered.
Moa = you can do absolutely nothing. About-face, 5, two dodge rolls, still dead if used around 50%.
I propose they make it last shorter OR allow us to use stun breakers while in this form.
In the last thread I posted a vid, and someone said “oh you didn’t even use your elixir S in the fight.” This is because GOOD players know not to blow their cooldowns & use them at the right time. I had it saved, and yet could do nothing when turned into a moa. Stupid.
I don’t know if you’re missing the old Quickness or if you’re missing people not targeting a gigantic and obvious Charr warrior target.
Edit: OR are you missing having a pigeonholed Warrior build that actually worked? That’s probably what it is.
lol, I enjoyed being a huge charr. Made it more entertaining for me.
I can see why it was nerfed, but I think they should of done it like 75% or something along those lines. Cutting it in half seemed like too much of a jump.
its ok. they are rare.
for example you cant get the wintersday nor the halloween items.
those gauntlets were from the molten alliance events.if everyone could get them, where would be the rarity?
and you cant them in pve either.at least i can call myself lucky this time
Pretty sure you can get them in pve, they’re just not called fused gaunts.
I got a pair of med after opening ~70…too bad my Fire God Vambraces are still better
For luls, reposting.
I roam & I like playing engineer. Perma swiftness, I can solo supply camps & do good unless there’s 3+ vs me. Just stay away from the zergs.
No.
Add a hotkey to your town clothes switch.
I’d like a hotkey to change it. And could we pretty please not change back into our armor if we fall? Drives me batty.
Dont you know thats a shortcut is already exist?
Look in the options.
I was telling OP to do so, mine is set to [ and is rarely used.
I’m pretty cute
No.
Add a hotkey to your town clothes switch.
It’s absolutely tiny, you can barely see it. I wasted all 3 minis for him, he should at least be decently easily view-able.
Tbh, I’d rather have kept my ghost the way it is now.
I don’t think I’ll have any luck with this, but you never know.
I’m looking for a WvW guild on Anvil Rock that is mostly composed of people that are good at PvP.
I’m NOT interested in zerging or karma trains. Moving in a giant mob takes absolutely no skill and is boring. I want a guild that runs somewhat small groups and roams the map picking people off. I play WvW to PvP; I don’t do PvE. Even if player hunting isn’t always your main focus, I’d consider joining, I just don’t want another guild that has 30+ zerging camp to camp.
About me:
I play my engineer when I WvW. I power crafted him, so he’s lvl 80.
I’m rank 42 in PvP, see pic attached. I can do TS/Vent/Mumble if you use them, but I won’t use Skype, that’s stupid. I have 750+ games on my engi, 1k+ games on my war. I usually do tournaments, hotjoin is just as bad with the zerging. I started playing GW2 at beta, played GW1 for over 5 years and am 50/50 in my HoM. I didn’t start GW2 with pvp, though, I started that later, and haven’t gone back to PvE since.
My engi is named Zane The Clever.

I for one am thankful that ranks have zero impact on matchmaking. sPvP had almost no redeeming qualities before leaderboards/spectator/custom arena, and it wasn’t worth playing. Now that it is here, why should I be matched lower than a bunch of MLG tryhards because they forced themself into an undesirable grind (whilst probably complaining about it the whole way)?
Newsflash: if you’re matched with people who are terrible, one of two things happen:
-You’re matched up against a team with an equal amount of terrible and duke it out.
-Or, if the player pool is limited, you may be matched up unevenly. Luckily Glicko takes care of that 100% and you lose very little rating if youre matched against a vastly superior team (or win very few points for beating a vastly inferior team). Ever wonder why other bads on the forum complain about going 3-1 and losing rank? That’s why.Get a clue. lulz @ my rank? lulz @ your score.
As a point holder, having more points means you’re not doing your job right. Lets say that ranger was holding his home point the whole game. He got neutralized minimal times, so he didn’t get recap points. He didn’t lose the point, so he didn’t get capture points. Score in pvp doesn’t mean much, having a high one doesn’t mean you did good.
It drops from ice imps in mineral springs.
Oh wait…
These seems like an OK thread to dump some of these in. They’re pretty recent. I know MM isn’t around PvP rank, but it should incorporate it a little more. I realize people like to say that rank doesn’t equal skill, but if you’re >10 it does mean you probably don’t know how to move around & do basic kitten very well.
Also, if you have 4/5 decent people, like in the 106 pic, you shouldn’t get a lvl 5 for your 5th.
I hope the screenies help you realize to incorporate ranks a little more into your MM formula. Or, if you can be pro coders – incorporate tournaments played.
50 Shades of Pink [PINK] – NA
Activity: Moderate, most of us have full time jobs, we play consistently about 3 times a week for 3 hours or so each night, usually between 10:00pm to 1:00am (EST).
Guild has only 5 core members who’ve been together for many months, not currently recruiting for core team but would consider one or two good, mature players to fill in for off nights when only some of us are on, rank 40 min.
We have a TS3 server.
Contact: Julius.1094 or Spelling B Champ.3264Dont want to seem like a jerk or anything but having a r40 req is pretty stupid if you ask me. I know a ton of people with high pvp rank as they farm hotjoin, but put them in a tournament and they are completely lost. Simple trial period is a much better way to recruit people. Sure, maybe you lose a game or two but you take the same risk bringing in a hotjoin hero with no strategic ability and with no min rank req you dont preclude possible candidates.
Your team though.
There ARE people, like me, that have achieved rank 40 by doing tournaments and little to no hotjoin. I’m assuming that’s his target.
Blacklists never work, there’s too many vindictive little kids on games like these that will add on people they don’t like.
I think there should be a level requirement of 5 to join tournaments.
5 is low enough to where it’s very in reach for everyone, yet high enough to let some players at least get the hang of things. A lot of players have trouble moving around and landing any of their skills when they first start.
