Guild Wars 2

Am I seriously the only person who thought of a ladder?

Shameless bump again!

Come to Aurora Glade, we’re just like Gandara only we’re about 6 guilds short :P

Bump; because shame is for the weak!

ok, I should explain, I don’t actually use a warrior, I was just mildly exagerating with true facts mixed in.

I don’t care what anyone thinks, I’m posting it:

The Bromance between Gandalf and AG

Bump for Apollo Glade.

No matter how bad things get, the sun never sets on AG, hence the Apollo (god of the sun) nickname. We need people and fast otherwise we may even end up in bronze league.

There is a very limited number of roamers across servers, the ladder idea would increase the amount of roamers, but not by too much. It would also give an advantage to servers with lower population since they wouldn’t need a zerg to take towers/keeps.

I have a mesmer as my second main character and I forgot about that! xD
time for some editing.

So many types of siege and the asurans didn’t think of a ladder? come on, time to step it up a bit, which is why I have come up with the idea of a ladder.

Here’s some features of it

• takes 10 supply to complete
• only one ladder can be used on an objective at a time ( or two ladders for keeps and SM)
• only one person can climb the ladder before the ladder becomes unusable for anyone else (ladder can be reused by the person who placed it
• can be destroyed instantly by an enemy even while someone’s climbing it
• Edit: gives a debuff to the player who placed the ladder which prevents portals from being used until the player is defeated

what’s so great about it? well…

• much better use for solo roamers since it only requires 10 supply
• requires a great amount of skill to kill a tower lord/ keep lord solo
• requires a constant watch
• discourages zerg play since solo players don’t need to destroy gates/ walls
• discourages bunkers (keeps and towers filled up superior siege that require a golem rush to take/ really good planning with a huge blob)

So, good idea, or big no no?

Yup, we’ll be coming to see you soon Vabbi if no-one joins us.

here’s how to actually take thieves down (based on what I know about professions)
mesmer: use illusionary counter and stay out of the thieves way using stealth, then use illusionary counter again while spamming illusions.
guardian: binding blade and whirling wrath + relentless attacks
ranger: run away and have a guardian/ warrior save you.
thief: sit and wait until they’re not in stealth, then backstab

warrior: if you see a thief, go afk and get a drink, come back 5 minutes later and decide to check facebook. Then click on guild wars 2 and start checking what’s happened while you’ve been gone, once you’ve done this, spam /laugh a few times then whack the thief with a hammer twice and jump up on down on their corpse while the healing signet regenerates all of your health that the thief took down (about 5000)

believe it or not, I think that it actually sums up my reaction best xD
btw, I shall be looking for you Crimson, be prepared

So I used blink and ended up in the void :L

Duel:
Aurora Glade
I have three modes for challengers to play against
Easy mode: power engineer who goes by the name Silent Shino (who I rarely play on)
Medium mode: guardian who goes by the name Holy Shino
Hard mode: scumbag PU mesmer who goes by the name Mesmer Shino but who also has an alternative power build.

My favourite moment was when I was capping the ne camp and a blob comes along, many of them start trying to gank me, so I go stealth and run through them because I decided to not bother with the camp, just as they were about to steal the camp from me, an even bigger blob (from the third server) comes along and steam rolls them since half of the original blob were running around trying to kill me. The original blob (what was left of it) starts running away with the second blob chasing them, I just walk into the circle and start capping the camp for myself as I watch the would be gankers get steam rolled while I spam /laugh at them.

I’d rather have Piken than Deso anyday.

Most of these are my opinion
Aurora Glade: Worst matchups
Kodash: Best roamers
Drakkar Lake: Worst roamers
Riverside: Official best at spamming arrow carts/ most corpse jumpers
Desolation: most gankers/ most nightcappers
Gandara: most epic fights/ my favourite overall
Abaddons Mouth: Most unpredictable
Far Shiverpeaks: Most amusing
Gunner’s Hold: Most overuse of golems :P

Moopy.7908:

I’ve got a great idea and it’s called proper punctuation because without punctuation your post becomes an unreadable mess that I have to re-read 4-5 times before I understand what it is you are trying to say; so please try this again with some commas and periods here and there so we can all understand what it is you want us to understand.

Thank you.

I fixed it for you.

Ezekial!!!!! it’s been like forever since I last saw you!

This is Aurora Glade and Gandara at the moment http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilIwu1NTxqs

scepter skill 2, decoy and a torch, means that unless the thief is especially good, you’ll win.

It’s not really whining, is it so wrong that we don’t want to lose every week?

the OP has a point, this is getting ridiculous, in the last 13 weeks, we have:
fought gold league servers 16 times
fought silver league servers 10 times
fought bronze league servers 0 times

on top of all that, we haven’t been green for any of those 13 weeks and we also haven’t won any of those weeks either.

I don’t really mind fighting gold league servers, but 16 in 13 weeks, no thanks :L
There’s a bright side though, Piken and Baruch are brilliant fun to fight, I’ve had some epic moments fighting against them.

I’m gong to have to test that scepter skill a bit more, maybe see how many clones I can rack up on someone
here’s a bug I discovered today
61. map loading screen coming up when portaling if the lag if high enough

49 phase retreat on the mesmer sometimes causes the mesmer to be completely immobilized and it’s impossible to get out of unless you use blink. (I’m not meaning the condition)

50 lag occuring at random times even though there’s very few people on from any server

51 my favourite one that I secretly don’t want fixed: elementalists occasionally getting a mesmer clone through one of their reflect skills, it happens so rarely that I’m not entirely certain what causes it.

number 9 has an actual answer for it: the 3 eles and the thief http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-919RMwyfnk

It is 2 ele, 1 engi, 1 theif.

Crap, that engi symbol really looked like an ele symbol to me xD
Kudos for the spot though

number 9 has an actual answer for it: the 3 eles and the thief http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-919RMwyfnk

as the title suggests, I want to know who you think would win in a fight

1. upleveled PU mesmer or level 80 bow bear ranger?

2. 10 warriors or a PVE player zerg of 50?

3. an average ranger or a staff elementalist?

4. a legendary castle lord or 5 warriors?

5. The overgrown grub or the spirit?

6. A legendary defender (without the invincible buff) or a100 man hammer warrior train?

7. 10 rangers or 4 perplexity mesmers?

8. Usain Bolt or the average warrior (in a sprint battle)?

9. 3 elementalists and a thief or a 30 man mindless zombie zerg?

10. a condition based guardian or a bow bear ranger?

feel free to come up with your own suggestions, humorous ones are prefered.

Not suprising really, the legendary defenders ARE warriors after all.
How funny would it be if Anet actually banned the legendary defenders?

CrimsonNeonite.1048:

I don’t see as a problem, you have scouts for a reason to react accordingly.
I think a zerg has plentiful ways to manoeuvre quickly around a map as it is, even in the EoTM.
It’s not always safe for us contesters though..

that’s adorable

btw, if you really want to have fun, build siege in their spawn areas
edit: the above is a joke, don’t actually do it^^

oh no, they kill merchants, the horror!

If you’re meaning solo roaming, I would go for one of the big four international silver league servers, all of these have a lot of skilled roamers in. (MS and AM have good roamers as well but they’re national servers)

AG (twinned with Gandara) has a huge variety of roamer classes and has Vavume in!

FSP has good roamers at all time and has very good guilds in, they have more warriors and necros than other classes, so basically, anybody who roams around on FSP borderlands is going to have some epic fights.

GH has variety as well as a lot of good rangers, thieves and elementalists and has the TEO guild who give amazing fights and do some pretty hilarious stuff http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d2JhhlQmZM , seriously, these guys are awesome.

Gandara (twinned with AG) is very similar to AG but they have a lot of amazing guardians that any warrior should be terrified of as well as a good variety in roamers.

However, if you run around in a 5 man gank squad, save everyone the trouble and go to Desolation.

@ykyk I don’t really consider any of them cheating, I just wanted to know what other people think.

I’ve been thinking and have realised that there’s quite a few things that can be considered ‘cheating’ in wvw. Which ones do you think are cheating and if so, which ones should be bannable? which ones are just funny and not really that bad? (these are things that people genuinely do)

1. having a trebuchet in the spawn area that can attack the ne tower
2. jumping into the citadel and killing merchants for the “lols”
3. accidentaly glitching into an objective and then reproducing the glitch
4. transferring to another server and give information to your previous server
5. transferring to another server and building troll siege.
6. destroying bridges in the EOTM just for the bridge buster achievement.
7. inviting the enemy commander to a party loads of times to distract them/ see where they are.
8. going into an enemy spawn area and start dancing (<ok, I admit it, I’ve done this before)
9. teaming up with an enemy server to farm the third server
10. luring the grub to attack the blue keep (<this is another one I’m guilty of)

I bet there’s a [CARE] member reading this and laughing.

the same thing happened in eb, everyone got ported back to the spawn, even me while I was roaming.

I feel like I should say something but I have a feeling my point has already been made by me writing here.

tbh, you couldn’t have summed it up better^^
I got so sick of being ganked just because I’m a guardian that I created a mesmer and I have had some ridiculous fights so far. I got attacked by three AR (from the same guild) yesterday and I just spammed them with conditions using minimal effort, all three of them ended up running away.
moral of the story: go mesmer if you want to win.

I think they should have an anti buff like http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dishonorable but have one for gankers that double team so roamers can tell if they’re going to get ganked or not and get away before they’re spammed to death by heartseeker or conditions.

clint.5681:

play spvp yeah i said it.

have you tried solo roaming in spvp? you get double teamed more in spvp than in wvw!

I’m almost always solo roaming, but most of the roaming is running away from large groups of gankers.

It’s so frustrating, it’s said (future) for over a year now, I want something done!

My condolences from Aurora Glade
may you rest in peace Starscream

woah, this thread almost went onto the second page there. Don’t worry, I’ve fixed it.

It’s been 1 and a half years since the game was in beta and I have finally lost patience with this aspect of wvw. Anet has done nothing to satisfy my need to know.

I am talking about this (look at picture)

It’s been bugging me right from when I first discovered it, it’s been like this for so long, what future? I NEED TO KNOW!

I can’t be the only person that it’s been bugging, but I’m the only person I’ve seen bring this up.

(don’t take the above too seriously^^)

I know that part but I can’t figure out how they do the jumping part

to this day I still haven’t figured out how it’s possible to get into the citadel

backfire

likes
1. the occasional 1 vs 1 fight
2. it’s so easy to troll enemy servers by building trebs to destroy the siege in their towers
3. organisation as a team

dislikes
1. the fights lack entertainment/ I get ganked loads because guardians suck at roaming
2. zombies
3. gankers
