I agree. Kittens are cute so why can’t we talk about kittens? They must love puppies.

However, if your talking about trash talking, its harmless but some people will always go too far. Best to keep it down low and be smarter with the trolling if you must.

Your time is up. Got to keep the queue flowing. Your being told to get out and let others play!

Otherwise, I don’t know.

If I saw a love fest in T1, I would drop my jaw, log off, shut down my computer and back slowly away….

Otherwise, have a good one.

This is the kind of kids that made me transfer.. i mean like full server vs full server when it wasnt night time, you know when we capped all jq borderland vs a full server…
If making 500 points per tick during night vs 0 players makes you happy, good for you, you get like what 4 badges all night? Must be great

Whatever makes you sleep at night. Keep talking, you want Full que vs que competition? See you in JQB.

EMP will be in full force starting today with our 17+ hour daily intl coverage.

Unlike others, we find coverage gaps and take advantage hence the scoreboard. Don’t undermine the strength of our guilds and to be quite frankly, most of our NA’s havent been out in full force due to the fact we’ve scheduled around times when your offline, making our job easier when the ques are weaker.

Learn the game mode and start adapting.

I wonder if this is Anet’s intention of how people should think in WvW. Because really seems like a legit and logical way to do things to be competitive and win. Timezone wars: Pretty much find the timezone where you can pvdoor the most then hit the timezone hard with overwhelming force. It’s not a bad thing to do. Seems like it’s just the way the game mechanics encourages people to do.

Time Zone wars are natural in a 24/7 battle. How could it not be?

What is this post?

HoD winning: Respect Titan Alliance and fear their power.

SoS winning: Respect their skills.

JQ winning: Problem.

I don’t get it. After being number 3 for so long JQ gets to number one and gets grief over it.

I just want to say as JQ who is more in game then forums, that I consider SoR the real number 2 server.

SoS used to be the best, now they are more bark then bite. I don’t know if they need people or better tactics. SoS benefited from bandwagon so they should have the numbers. Maybe they got too comfortable at number one.

Rallians, you have barely been in t1, but you have pushed us back and taken over our stuff many times. I fear confrontations with you more. JQ gets wiped by SoR more. You fight more and whine less. I like.

Not tougher, but perhaps add more with the upgrade. I remember holding a camp by myself once using a ballista and Hylek support. Much fun.

To anyone who wants to know, a canard is a synonym for a lie.

It’s generally used by people to mask their lack of an argument behind the pages of a thesaurus.

A canard is a belief in something that is not true — my intended meaning. If I had wanted to use the word lie or liar, I would have used it. Get a better thesaurus.

So when you say ‘canard’, you are implying that those with this particular belief are gullible or lying to themselves? Or intetionally supporting a lie to convince others it’s true?

Wearing red silk robe, looking at this with my reading glasses, sipping earl grey tea having a hearty chuckle at the thesaurus. Oh my thesaurus, how you entertain me with quaint debates and discussions.

Wait, what am I saying? I speak ‘American’ English, thus this is way over my head.

Bare in mind this was made during a time when silly random things was new to comedy in the 1970’s. My father introduced me to them when I was young and it ran on PBS. You can only break ground once and the younger you are the less groundbreaking there is.

Rabbits and walking is overpowered!!!!!!!!!! Cats still confused, as anyone would be.

The advice in the video is all fine and well if you encounter an enemy with a banana or raspberries. But what is one to do if we have to fight against someone with a :gasp: PINEAPPLE?

I was on my Charr Warrior holding Stonemist wall with about a dozen other people. We must have held 2:1 odds on Sanctum of Rall for a half hour or more solid. Then when more people and even a commander are garrisoned in Stonemist, they somehow overpowered them and take it. I suspect usage of pineapples.

I’ll mail you some mango pies and sharpening stones. It’s ok, once you hit your groove you will have plenty of cash to buy/craft consumables.

My ranger does the group cooking, but i don’t bother using consumables much. If they where not in wvw, we could see if classes are overpowered or just certain users

I don’t see how you could do this. Its automated and scores would change right up until the last minute. All you can do is predictions.

Off Topic to Wrex: Shepard.

Cooking station is more full then any other station! Too much food buff!

Seriously, no one complains when people have food buffs, yet complain about every other buff. The food buffs last long and can sometimes be stronger. Most skills/skill buffs last seconds, yet get pages of rants. Making a point with silliness. :p

There are lots of threads on mesmers and thieves. I personally find flaws in mesmers and thieves. Mesmers need help from other players and their own illusions. Thieves must rely on hit and run tactics and stealth. If they fail at these things, they are dead. Overpowered implies you don’t need tactics or others.

I know my Mesmer and my Thief are around level 60 and will need more then 20 levels and gear. Still, these classes are supposed to be overpowered, so why am I dying? A logical person might think that people have adapted to countering these classes especially on T1 like I play. I however have another theory.

Fresh Fruit! I have noticed almost all my enemies have this buff called “Nutrition”. This implies they use fruit. I however, don’t normally use fruit buffs. The player using fruit and other foods has a clear advantage over players who don’t. Why does no one rant on this? Oh sure this sounds like madness, but what if someone takes over a fully upgraded Stonemist with a buff from a banana?

This video will show you how to counter fresh fruit with pistols, AoE damage and pets.

Enjoy.

Second paragraph.

Warrior and Guardian can be more front line then other classes. They can take more damage.

My Engineer main is an excellent escape artist, comparable to a Thief. In some ways better.

The issue is, as mentioned by a developer, that the WvW tickets pop up at random. In other words, you could be waiting hours and someone else just minutes. It should be first come, first serve.

There are also other minor issues that effect times. These do need a developer fix.

From the makers of WvW and the producers of every server directed by many commanders comes the epic saga of the reset. In a fantasy battle spanning the globe, one must choose their fate. Some will rise, some will fall. All with gather.

So will climb to the top? Predictions for all tiers in America and Europe.

Now Playing in theaters. Rated R for strong language, violence, not repaired armor nudity and stealthing.

Sounds like SoS needs another recruitment thread.

BINGO!!! JQ and BG are the bullies. They have more players in wvw. We are the underdogs. We barely field 1 full map in wvw. SOS needs you.

Hard to call the number one server for weeks “underdogs” when you finally get a challenge. A week of not owning 50% of the scoring is not exactly underdog. :S

This whole numbers debate is forgetting the importance of morale. I’ve seen our morale destroyed some weeks, leading to poor performance and low attendance. Not what one would expect from a mostly T1 stable server.

JQ has always had the morale to go for number one. There has been a noticed numbers boost for sure due to a few more guilds transferring, but I still see many of the same commanders leading zergs like they always have. They just have more troops to at their disposal and better coverage.

BG gets its morale from knowing that SoR and the T2 is after them. If they want to hold on to T1, they can’t stop to smell flowers. They know they must keep up the pressure.

SoS just entered T1, took over and got comfortable at number one. They may have the numbers and skills, but where is the morale?

It was the worst server in America, then a lot of people said, “Its okay, well help you out. No more tears.”

Now its on monster steroids and rampaging like Godzilla!

SBI missed from T1. Sorry to see you fall on hard times. You been good rivals.

BG might not fall from T1, they are holding well. The way things are going, you might have a chance of taking SoS spot in T1 SoR. We’ll see.

We barely held T1 this whole time fighting HoD, SoS and SBI. Looks like we finally got enough boost to take first after all this time.

For weeks it had been SoS 50% of the map JQ 25% and SBI/BG 25%. SoS is finally get challenged.

I think if all dead players got greyed out, reviving would be hard. you can’t tell friends from foe in a major battles with lots of casualties. A mass pile of grey would leave at least some having to respawn.

Only thing i can think of is darkening the same color when dead. Still won’t be that much of a distinction.

If you want to see interesting battles, look for presents surrounded by enemies. Open them up, grab your presents them run.

You could stage some really odd battles with toys and monsters. I watched as Princess Dolls destroyed Ettins. Disturbing….

JQ is a highly active server, but most of that activity is in Lion’s Arch or explorables. When a holiday event happens, WvW gets hit the hardest.

I’m disappointed in JQ this week, but not surprised. Then again, JQ has a habit of badness on the weekends and comebacks on the weekdays.

SBI, your EB crew will guarantee SOS will be number one for years. SOS and JQ fight often, but SBI goes as far as Dredge Tunnels and Wild Creek. Then they lose WC and seem to say “forget this, lets go back to piling on JQ”. SOS doesn’t bother attacking SBI anymore because they don’t even see SBI as a threat.

What happened to the Stormbluff that used to fight hard for Stonemist? We took Stonemist fighting SOS alone for it the other day. EB is just JQ running in circles fighting two servers to reclaim stuff lately.

Why is it JQ or SBI has to ‘side’ with SOS at all to wipe the other off the map. SOS dominates because they are simply manipulating JQ and SBI. This has got to stop.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Finally to any SBI on EB (my favorite battle map) I say this, if JQ is in full force attacking SOS in full force you need to stop attacking JQ and take advantage of the situation. SOS is wide open. You can have all their bases.

Do you even realise how this is so incredibly inconsistent?
You rail SOS for supposedly manipulating JQ and SBI yet later in your post you blatantly try and manipulate SBI.

Besides it’s kind of funny that you have that little confidence in your own commanders that you think they are that easily manipulated.

INB4 " I WASN’T MANIPULATING I WAS TRYING TO EVEN THE SCORE"

I have seen this SOS tactic before and I am pointing this out. I have seen both us and SBI get used. Last night is a perfect example. SOS helps SBI take all our stuff down to spawn, then SOS takes our stuff from SBI. Letting SBI do all the work, then stealing their gains for themselves. It happened in the reverse when they let us destroy SBI and tried to take SBI home keep the other week.

If that is not manipulating on EB, I don’t know what else to call it.

I appreciate your trying, but this fix is just not working and for me its been worse.

Here is the problem on EB right here:

“SBI and JQ was double teaming us for 2-4 hours, so we farmed badges waiting on an someone to side with us, JQ guys just kept attacking us, so we sided up with sbi and wiped JQ off EB with sbi. Next time dont keep attacking sos and sos will help u wipe sbi off the map. Choice is yours. First to side with us wins, or keep double teaming us and we badge farm.”

Why is it JQ or SBI has to ‘side’ with SOS at all to wipe the other off the map. SOS dominates because they are simply manipulating JQ and SBI. This has got to stop.

When we go after SOS, SBI either does nothing or goes after us on EB. SBI takes a SOS supply camp or sentry? Come on SBI, even if you want to be number one, I’d suggest doing a lot more effort then that.

Why did we let SOS just come to Tier One and just sit back or act like gods and pick who is number two to them? This is horrible. SOS would be kicked out of T1 if JQ and SBI really went after them in force like we should. It’s HOD all over again.

Finally to any SBI on EB (my favorite battle map) I say this, if JQ is in full force attacking SOS in full force you need to stop attacking JQ and take advantage of the situation. SOS is wide open. You can have all their bases. Yet, your commanders/zergs almost always choose to attack JQ in that situation. You want number one slot or number two forever? You want number one take if from them, not us.

I really hope SOS and SBI are proud of avoiding each other and just hitting us. Not ONE orange cross is on the map unless its on the JQ side. As I type this we just lost our keep AGAIN. A top tier server spawn camped in Eternal Battlegrounds. Even when we got it back SOS just takes it.

Yeah Yeah “double team is a strategy” can shove it. This is extreme double team when both sides only fight each other in JQ keep!

Doing this would destroy any strategy in the game. Spying would be very fast and easy. The matter of harassment is also an issue.

There could be a totally impersonal public chat that shows up invader/defender to eliminate harassment, but that’s as far as it can go.

Last I checked one guild isn’t all of JQ. Just for the record.

I wish you luck ET. I was on ET during my time with Ruin. We jumped the server up to the top. ET just came online at the time. Don’t let the break of an alliance to discourage you from building up the server from the ground up like it should be.

Not going to lie SBI, it was all about getting your keep from the JQ end. We had two of the top JQ commanders on EB working together to keep you pinned and eventually take your keep. The update saved your keep, then SOS took it from us. Did e stop because SOS took your keep? No. We wanted it. Didn’t matter who was in it.

I must admit, I was a bit paranoid that at any minute SOS would rampage us. When they didn’t, I knew they just used us. No alliances with SOS, well go after them all the same too. It’s just whole JQ/SBI thing sometimes. LOL

I was there earlier in the week one morning when SOS and SBI took everything we had in EB at the same time. Outmanned officially, over powered and barely holding the main keep.

SOS golem rushed our water level gate. It took the effort of every JQ in EB manning siege, repairing the gate and fighting on the walls to hold back SOS, then SBI storms in literally a second after SOS. We had SOS and SBI bodies all over our keep.

People will always take advantage of others misfortune. SOS was not in anyway out to help us, they just used us to try and get SBI keep for themselves. We took it from SOS.

Feels odd that we got SBI spawn camped in EB. We have been fighting SBI on EB the whole time. SBI kept attacking us when we attacked SOS. Fighting them was the only solution. SOS just let us do it and took advantage when they could.

As usual, JQ starts off bad in the beginning of the week. At this point, I’m just calling it “our strategy”. Seriously JQ players, get in WvW for at least an hour! :p

Wow, we did step it up. JQ takes the borderlands and even did very well in EB. Glad we could step it up. SBI was doing awesome for awhile too, but then just kind of dropped.

I’m getting frustrated seeing the score for JQ and even SBI. Why are we losing bad to these newcomers to T1. This feels worse then HOD. JQ and SBI need to step it up a bit.

Orr is a nasty and tough place. Then again, what happens in most games? People complain that the ending places are not a challenge. Orr makes the dragons look powerful. It show Pact members struggling to hold a place there. You get a sense that this is a hostile place and the Pact can’t simply roll all over the Risen. You always have a sense of dread and having to keep on your toes. If that’s what they went for, they succeeded.

I had the same pro-male attitude for years. I still do for the most part. Every game I rolled a male unless it wasn’t an option because the game had a female hero. A few years ago, for the first time I replayed a game as a female. I was okay with female plays now. My rule still held because it was an offline game. I didn’t want to ever play a female in an online game because it felt wrong.

So I play GW2 on my standard human male. Once finished, I made four more characters of each race, all male. Then I bought a sixth character slot. After careful thinking, I made a female. I crossed a line I have never crossed. So it felt like no big deal once I did so. I am careful to not act like a woman, its just a character.

I did feel strongly about not letting her be girly. I would not play a female who I thought was too young to look at. My females are mature looking. If you saw her, you would think she was late 20’s to early 30’s which is perfect and represents the women of my age range. Some female faces looked…ermmm…I have no words.

For a modern RPG, I do find it odd that some kind of relationship is not an option. I am not saying I expect it or that there has to be one. Most RPG’s never thought of it back in the day. I just thought adding such an option could be there. The loner selfless hero is classic, but not realistic. Most people don’t work like that. This coming from a single man who kind of has that attitude, ironically.

As a Human Male Nobleman for my first character, I did get hit on by another noble woman (forgot name). I had the option of telling her at a party that the Baroness and I are a thing or not. By telling her we are not, I left it open that I am single and okay with her coming on to me. That’s about as far as it gets. I only completed one character’s story, but I doubt the others will have such an option. Even with a limited option, I wouldn’t mind having her be my character’s love interest.

Some people might point two problems with modern RPG romances. Sex and same sex relationships. First off, you don’t need sex scenes in every game. If you want mature content, its out there. Romances doesn’t have to be the same as love making. As far as the same gender issue, that’s solved with the Sylvari. Gender is a very loose term to them, which means they love individuals and not genders as we know them. Those who want same sex relationships can simply play Sylvari.

Just a suggestion to flesh out your character and story more. This would been purely optional of course. If romances came up, it could add to your story in some way. At least, give you a person to come home to after each dragon battle. Why not?

JQ and SBI aren’t friends, but I never had a problem with SBI using nasty tactics to win. BG on the other hand made me down right sick today.

HB, a BG guild, kept using the portals over and over against us in Eternal Battlegrounds. I don’t mean just using a portal here and there. I mean using them to get in our home keep (lowlands). Defend Lowlands by using portals behind us and worse when we did take back lowlands, using portals to climb up and down the keep.

Using stacks of Mesmsers and portals was simply disgusting. At least SBI can take us head on. You mobilized an entire army with hit and run tactics we could barely defend against. I have never seen people perfect portal tactics to the extreme as this. Words can not describe what a nightmare it was in Lowlands keep today.

I don’t get it Stormbluff. We at JQ at least try to put up a fight. If you all really hate Blackgate so much, then come on wvw and take them down. The week is still young enough.

We been stuck fighting Blackgate on an uphill battle. Your just giving up you T1 spot for a server that just got in T1? I’m a little surprised. I had assumed you just wasn’t fighting Blackgate. At this point, just go in and fight BG while the week is still salvageable for you.

Looks like 3 are naked. Meaning they tried before. maybe a massive rush in where the defenders are weak?

Please tell about what part of the maps your spawn was on and if you saw more bodies along the way.

From GW1, I saw the Charr as angry and violent. In GW2, I see the Charr as angry and violent. Yet, there was an unexpected surprise. We get to see each major races children. I noticed that Charr “cubs” behave like normal children. In fact many seem nice and racially tolerant. It’s the adults that come off as angry, mean and racist.

This makes me wonder if Charr are like this, but Charr society molds them into what is expect of adult Charr or is this a newer more liberated Charr generation?

As Guild Wars one player, it is the hardest of all to hate former allies like that. Not because they were human, because there are a lot of criminal, corrupt or racist humans in the game to fight. It is because of the situation. The fact that they are fighting for what they think is there homeland versus the Charr and anyone else not an Ascalonian.

It is true that Ascalon was Charr land before human encroachment, but the fight to claim land will always exist no matter who was there first or in the right. Once people make a home they never want to leave it.

When the hero of Prophecies and others follow the prince out of Ascalon, it was a tough decision. The king was too stubborn to admit the war was ending and that he had lost. Leaving ones home is not easy, even if the prince did so to save lives. Making a dangerous trek through the mountains or fight the Charr to the death for what you built? There is no right call. Both the king and prince took big risks with an already post apocalypse Ascalon population.

So now the ghosts are punished for loyalty to the king and home land, even if the king and home land could be argued to be in the wrong. I view this as tragic. Clearly they have all become mad and destructive fighting for a dead cause that even most humans have long since left. They must be put to rest now. It’s still hard to hate them though.

There is a term called tragic villain and that would be fitting here.
