Have fun and keep the thread clean!

RALLIANS, PREPARE FOR GLORY!… (to be stolen).

haha im dying right now

MagiKarp.8201:

Ha! Sanctum of Rall is in Tier 2 where it belongs :P

I miss you already MigiKarp.

I haven’t talked to anyone on SoR against a 2v1.
Kind of a weird match up to have SoS here, what is the point of having a 3-way fight if two servers can’t gang up to wreck the other from time to time =D

Edit: But seriously SoS is the clear population underdog here, I can see them doing a lot of damage if fighting only on one front, but trying to fend off TC and SoR which both rock huge NA isn’t going to be favorable.

Scanty.7623:

Sanctum of server zerg.

You feel better now?

Ljiona.9142:

SoR should not upgrade in SoS or TC homeland, this really isn’t a good match-up.

SoS and TC should team up. Would be hard to get everyone on board with it but BG and JQ did a pretty good job of this in EB during the weekend and lead to really awesome yet kinda laggy fights.

covenn.7165:

Pink in the BL I am supposed to be in and here I am stuck in queue. I just want to get in so I can hug you all to death

Hugging to death is an exploit. Reported.

Oh my queue is going to be long tonight…
Pretty excited to see TC again though.
See ya out there eventually =D

Curious if they going to mix T1 and T2 up at all.
I miss that pirate guild from TC, those dudes are a riot.
Plus they keep ya on your toes cuz they always find a way to sneak into your keep and takes a zerg to chase em all out assuming they don’t take it before you realize they are there.

Urrid.4593:

Ah, a T1 forum post. Icky. Icky.

edit: how do you blend up 1,000 players and fit them inside a nutshell? Seems, messy.

There is a good chance you guys will find out for yourselves soon. =D

nothing.7941:

gvg within wvw is great fun, no need to add any perks or special maps.

Unless you’re on a more populated server where the GvG matches can be viewed as disruptive and very well can be at times. However most WvW guilds are pushing this in my bracket atm and support each other. It’s a lot of fun but hard to ignore another server ripping all your stuff away while ya do the GvG.

Will be watching team chat… “OMG 50 BG at Hills!!! They got golems!!! HALP they pulled me off the wall, their hitting me now!! oh’ lord it HURTS!!! HALPppPPpP!!!11! OMFG a ranger spiked me!!!! A $#*&#$ RANGER!!! Where is everyone?!?!”
Pause GvG match, run to hills, wipe zerg, repair doors, then recommence GvG

Why it is still fun in it’s current state, I’d be all for adding a way for guilds to duke it out off the map. Once concern I’ve read is they don’t want to take people away from WvW. One way to combat this, is make it a weekly pass or something, allow like 2 to 4 passes a week into the GvG area or make it cost influence or something.

Reslinal.2359:

GW1 gvg is only 8 vs 8 though. 10 vs 10 sounds plenty to me, the only problem is the map size maybe too small…

10 vs 10 sounds less interesting to me at least.
Also map doesn’t need to be very big, most gvg takes place south of the south supply camp in that open strip. I would like to see a 20-25 option.

/sign
While I enjoy WvW, the GvG matches are very fun, would be nice to have a place outside of WvW where we can fight it out. Spectator mode will be a MUST.

Huygens.4075:

T1 has the best drama. Even TC and FA get along these days.

All the drama is on the forums and consist of about 10 people doing it, enjoy =D
Everyone else is just having fun, this is probably the best T1 match up T1 has seen.
Unless you want to believe otherwise for whatever reason =D

Aurust.8961:

SOR haz teh most #swagger, all otha servarz iz justine beiber jelly. SOR numba 1 foreva!

lol, what he said.

Cuchullain.3104:

Like in WoW with the hunter class

Hunters are OP as kitten though in WoW though =P

wtb all ranger/necro zerg rocking spirits and minions.
Hell you could have small roaming squad do this and appear as a zerg at first glance =P

Rampage as one is amazing simply because the duration of stability, and entangle has a situations it can be strong.

First vid not so great, 2nd one I have seen before and use a very similar set up atm.
I switched to this build for roaming and while not OP or anything, it offers meaningful burst and mobility and I can rock it while running a large organized group. Just swap in healing spring, and binding roots in and you are now a healing, condition removing, immobilizing machine!
Just be careful throwing barrage into an enemy zerg, I’ve downed myself from full doing this before.

I find it hard to justify running a Ranger in wvw while guild is running event.
So far we have sold it to the leads by using healing spring for water field and binding roots.

Tried trapper, they simply don’t have enough damage or cc to trait in or even use since most wvw guilds run so much conditional removal and event he reduced duration food the effect is short.
Condition builds in wvw are generally weaker in large scale fighting, due to the condtion removal.
Pets in wvw are just bad, in large fights I will keep him on passive until I see a target I need the extra pressure for, otherwise he just melts.

Bunker rangers are amazing at spvp which is a gimmick at this point anyways and even as a roamer it’s more of a skirmisher class since it doesn’t quite have the burst or speed to finish off people wanting to get away.
Hopefully they don’t give rangers a blanket nerf because of our one semi successful spec.

Right now in pve our damage is a tad on the low side, if our pet can’t survive the fight even lower, and our utility blows. Greatsword is awesome but needs a boost, and the slow skill should be usable while moving, the block works while moving but I have to stop to cast a slow? Usually I am trying to slow someone getting away so it gives them a chance to out range the attack and open range on me and hilt bash could use a tad more range, or at least be quicker.

Really hate running the bunker build in wvw, unless I am running around trolling single players or small groups. In a large group I just kinda help soak damage since most of my conditions get nearly instantly removed. In small combat it is pretty tough though but since I focus more on raid or zerg fighting I stick with power.
A pet damage nerf is fail, if you do it, do spvp only.
Also there was some great suggestions in this thread on changes for other pets that no one uses simply because they are useless.

I really can’t imagine them nerfing pet damage without reworking thieves some.
Not even a great raid class other than the chain bursts they can do with shortbow, but I can go nearly an entire night without ever dying and getting loads of cheap kills and if I am in a group of 2 to 5 thieves it is mega troll. Just open a beer and camp their spawn for the lawls.

Just used this post to get my last one on the map, tyvm. I just waypointed in and got credit.

1. choice of weapon/s
Rocking Longbow/Gsword

2. traits (ex. pow – 30 -II/V/XI)
Varies, but 20/30/20/0/0 right now

3. pets
Varies, aoe fear from wolf is pretty troll though

4. armor stats
Knights, Cavaliers and Zerker mix

5. runes,sigil
I’m always poor so used ruby opals for runes.
Bloodlust sigil on bow, and still changing my gsword pretty often.

Stealth is still stupid broke, it more than likely will not change.
The thief class is pure troll.

elderan.2638:

Nice zerg that just flipped SM, of course you could only do it while it was 2v1 and when our coverage was lacking, oh well at least we passed you points wise.

lawl, lucky it’s not Reset night still or else that would be three drinks =P

Edit: Actually 4 drinks…

Have not been on SoR since launch, I hopped around some and got to SoR during the YB/NS/SoR fight. The week ended with only like a 1k score difference between all servers, probably one of the best match ups I was in and been proud to be on SoR since I got here.

Yeah… here try this =P

Still think your lost man =D
No one said the commander tag is ANY of those things you mentioned.
The question was “In your opinion, what are the top 3 classes for a commander?”
Not “What buffs or bonus’s does an ICON give you”
Having a commander tag gives ya the blue durito, however you can command without it, in which my previous opinion still stands.

30 minutes queue on EB for reset night?
Eh… that would be pretty light for a top few tiers.
Reset night always draws the most people.

Bavragor.1043:

So this WvW thread is discussing the date ? haha

Need more WvW discussion.

Having a great time in SoS bl, FoE and SF are making things a lot of fun !

Score update:

The HoM BL is popping too!
queue is instant for it too!

I feel being survivable matters with the blue dorito on.
Gear and build help with this but as far as classes go, i still feel necro/guardian/warrior are the optimal choices.
There is benefit to having the commander not dead either, especially if your leading people not in TS.

SmokeyNYY.7841:

You did the date wrong :P

Date looks fine to me.

It says August of 2008, how does that look fine to you?

Ya I was thinking the same thing =D
But I get what he meant.

JemL.3501:

Shaojack.3871:

Porky.5021:

Your class has nothing to do with how well you do as a commander.

You follow the idiot elementalist if you want….I’ll follow the ranger who knows what he’s doing.

I think you missed the point entirely.

Theres no point, because there is always a lot of people and you find a lot of classes…so wont matter if its an elem, mesmer or guardian…because in the group there will be plenty…the commander is just an icon, period.

Hence depends in the person

You also miss the point =D
It’s not like your class gives you mystical insight on what to do as commander.
However playing survivable class is pretty key.
My first tag was on my thief and I really regretted it.
Not that thieves arent survivable, but when Im using my tag as a Rally point and im invising and blinking around, can cause confusion with the people not in TS.

Yeah, at least Ill get to sleep before sun comes up for a change.
I dc’d anyways so ill be back in SoR BL in about 3 hours.

Ok drinking game tonight will be…
Will drink a shot whenever…
-SMC gets flipped
- One server passes another on points.
- Someone calls 2v1 in thread.
- Any post on coverage in this thread.
- Anytime some says the word “zerg” in this thread.

covenn.7165:

Guardian, Necro, and Warrior would be my choice.

This is what I was thinking.

Nice fight in SM, thanks for letting us in >=D

Thor.1756:

Thanks very much for the many bags [choo], not so much thank you for making me stay up far too late. Have a score update

Likewise =P
Not sure how many kills I got, but got on a couple hours ago cuz I couldnt sleep and made 96 badges. Was a fun keep siege, probably why yall hung around while SoS was capping the rest of your kitten =P

Shaojack.3871:

Weekend provides the best even coverage you can get right now.
Weekends always have the best fights.
Weekdays you get to see the coverage come in and take a crap on the scoreboard for those without.
Aside from a few people with hurt feelings on here, we knew this coverage game was coming =P Really shouldn’t be anyone crying about it, this isn’t a new theme to WvW.
These are the best fights I’ve had in months too.
This isn’t going to change either =D Play for when your on, kitten it when your off.

Basically what you want is for weekend only matches. What would happen the rest of the week just sit flipping siege for a big 3 day push? Sorry that the game is about coverage but you still have your primetime to make up ground. Even when SoS had vastly superior Oceanic (Unimpeded 500+ ticks) we didn’t give up we would come out during EU/NA prime and give it 100% effort and do what we could. Coverage doesn’t matter as much as people make it out to. Every server has SEA and Oceanic EU and NA. It’s not like it’s pure doors during those hours we just maximize our point gains when we have a deadzone.

That isn’t what I asked for or wanting.
Weekends do give the most even coverage.
Not news since it’s been that way since launch.
All I asked is for people to suck it up and do the best when your on, if you only like to play when your winning that’s your call, by all means xfer to JQ then. =D

Hexin.5603:

Only a WvW player anticipates February – for no known data

So true too =P
My old guild left GW2 and keep bugging me about Feb changes.
Get lots of eye rolling when I tell them they haven’t posted them yet =P

Persephone.7436:

My wife is mad at whoever’s (JQ) idea it was to walk the golums back and forth through the open gate, while I was dumping oil on you, over and over again. My laughing woke her up even though she was upstairs on the other side of the house.

Great fights in SM.

I haven’t been in the jump puzzle for a while, but this makes me want to go there just to fight jp’ers. =P

Ya, I really wish they would come out and squash this by giving us the actual figures.

Gaiawolf.8261:

If you want to see lots of numbers, I have seen a bunch on my warrior with a bow, and my engi has some nice tools for that too, but nothing has topped all the confusion numbers I see flying around with my glamour mesmer.

I have heard ele and necro have great AOE too, but I haven’t play them much.

Warrior, go hammer, huge aoe arch, really solid weapon
Ranger, axe, bows with piercing shots, traps
thieves, shortbow, daggerstorm =D
Guardians, greatsword or staff have lots of aoe coverage, hammer aint bad just a bit slow.
Necro, staff and wells
Engineer, grenade, flamethrower and mines can do it.
Ele, they have tons of aoe, staff works great and d/d if your more aggressive.
Mesmer, Only class I have limited time with so far, clones and staff? =P

Depends on your goal really, any will do, if you want to get your kill counter up for wvw, any weapon or skill with aoe is pretty choice.

All the crying aside about cover, queues and pop caps.
This is the best match up I have been in, in a long time.
This weekend we will need to add some more drink rules to the reset weekend if we are in the same match up again.
