Guild Wars 2

hfgl should be a fun week

Silent Shino.7239:

so…………… what did I read about FURY and TUP having a GvG? I always wondered where Kellaine went, I see he joined your guild and left AG.

WAIT is that really Kellaine?
If so my day got a lot brighter now.

Sequoia Mint.4803:

Dranul.2094:

I see someone is still afraid or embarrassed to show his tags. Shame.

Im pretty sure he hasnt figured out how to do that yet dood.

Also all this pug talk is hurtful. I Dad was a pug his father before him a pug and his father before him… a pug. I come from a proud line of Pugs and i will not be pushed around because of my heritage

Thats why you joined the 3rd community! Now you can follow your dreams and all the stuff that is benefitial for us!

sendmark.4731:

Jumping on solo players and running away from similar sized groups isn’t roaming tbh.

When I run with [team] they jump into bigger groups without even thinking of a retreat.
Only thing they run away from is lag.

Beri.3156:

Slomo.1029:

You must be new in FURY.

He has been longer in FURY than you in TUP tbh

May be. I thought everyone in FURY has some respect for smaller groups roaming around. Seems like some people dont.

Seregon.2187:

On behalf of [team] I’d like to thank FURY for the good fights tonight. You really showed a slight improvement since you left our server, I’m not sure who killed who the most but I think we tied. Furthermore the GvG against BNF (dzag guild) was fun (even though we were 1 person short), though next time I won’t use rocket boots to fly off a cliff and die.

All in all it was a good day for teaming.

I never saw [team] anywhere. Sorry i didn’t recognise your guild in your riverstyle blob but i’m sure your autoattacking skills are excellent. Keep up the good work.

You must be new in FURY.

Wai do you heff to be mad?

Simerja.4813:

perhaps the problem is, that far shivercry is to much in forums crying and complaining and / or play pve 90% of the day – so all AM is left is raiding empty keeps ^^ ?

boring week without but nice wxp train

I dont see people complaining/crying at 3am or 4 am in the morning….

Like cmon, I logged off at 1am and when I saw the score at 10am the first time AM was ticking with 400+ and made 13k+ points overnight.
Where was this force when we were raiding 2h earlier? How can 23:00 not be primetime while 03:00 is?
I just dont get your schedule, are points so important that you take a short nap to dodge enemys and come back in the early hours to fight gates and NPCs?

Good Smush on AM BL – Shame AM don’t have much pride for their own BL.

For last night some of us (AM) decided in a weekly partyevent-zerg to turn your both BLs green (as we where not in the mood to defend after defendig day after day against 2 servers). And it worked. Had some nice fights against some guild-zergs (i.e. KISS + pug) – but most times they wiped very fast and we got incredible much lootbags (and i got my jade-skin).

So i have to say, sorry that we where not on the place where you would have liked us to be, as we where to busy to serve you.

Well you didn’t do a very good job of it, your server was ticking at well under 200 points for the hours after we took your garrison. You had quite a considerable force until we won the garri then you all just vanished. Was a shame, we were expecting that force to come back and give us a battle to keep it.

The battle for garrison itself was fun and extensive, took a while and we used the advantage of having more smaller organised groups on the field to attack multiple targets knowing how afraid you are of having groups of less than 60 from having to split up into multiple forces. The T3 garri and bay flipped at around the same time.

Congrats on your jade skin. When you get 5 we can compare our collections and other wvw loot.

Ah, who cares about ticking? We had much fun Last evening (and night). Even as, after 3 days, defending the garni every evening got a little bit boring for some people. Furthermure it often depends on, if there is anyone leading..
Sorry for my bad english and
Best Regards

Apparently you care about points because as far as I can tell you were hopping to the BLs with the least resistance.

OMG! This is the worlds end. AM was ticking UNDER 200 points for some hours. Thats an epic fail!

Ohh wait! AG is ticking at the moment with 165 and FSP only with 115. Whats going on!
so ridiculous.
ohh btw we get soooo much loot.
got it?

No I didnt get it. Because there is nobody on AG that plays coordinated right now. So its totally normal that we dont stop your night- and morningshift at all.
There is a difference if you are ticking low because you dont have players and ticking low because you were dodging encounters with your enemy. Cmon, dont tell me bullkitten about “we didnt care about defense” because clearly you did. You were dodging our groups and BL hopping all the time for the easy PvD.

Congraz. See you in Camelot Unchained!

If you arent german speaking, I would recommend you to choose another server.
However, if you ARE german speaking you should ask in the german forums instead:

Everone who posts screenshots of EB with a blob as “counter” argument should just get permanently banned from the matchup threads. Seriously, EB is the short version of “Eternal Blobbinggrounds” and will allways be.

Like the “More Germans”-Pictures from a Aurora-Player on Page one? Yup

Exaclty. Same rule applies to everyone. While I agree that nobody looks forward to fight your server, screenshots of EB with a blob are just stupid. Its the nature of EB to be like that.
Except the matchup with Vabbi and FoW. If someone finds a blob from Vabbi or FoW he is allowed to post it.

Caid.4932:

Was fine on AM bl. Biggest group was 40 at a guess? Some instances of a few groups merging together creating silly numbers but was fine mostly.
Sorry to hear AG wasn’t much fun.
Lots of nice fights all of which went well except those against TUP. There was a certain amount of resigned acceptance of the incoming wipe on later fights ‘oh look TUP splat … yep, respawn’. xD
Noticed you’ve grown fond of retal, dropped a symbol on you in one fight and wandered off to one side while eating 10k retal damage
Wish they’d hurry up with the bl fix though its still pretty stupid on eb imo.

TUP has drinking warband tonight. Attendance is higher than usual.

What is this german curse that AG fell into? :O

Contiguous.1345:

Slomo.1029:

Sorry, but every time I see a video of Tarkus …

:D

Oh! I see, it’s Tarkus got up your kitten.
He’s just a lovable little scamp. Tbh, I’ve met bigger egos that were less competent.

Nah, you understood me wrong.
Even though he left our guild because a bit of banter (like a kitten) and switched to Piken, I dont have any bad feelings at all! I just have to remember this moment everytime I hear his voice now.

Contiguous.1345:

lol! Who rattled your cage? It’s nothing to do with me, I wasn’t there but I’ve seen GoW tear up groups much bigger than that.
Here’s another one :-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SG2t5vb4Zro

The truth is, organised groups can win against a pug group of almost any size, mostly because the pugs panic and start to run the moment they are hit.
Here’s a GvG where the opposing team know better than to just run away.

Krato.4729:

@Kokolores: If you think that AG aren’t capable of playing the points game you can’t have been around during prime time last night. RS borderlands had one objective native owned, and that Garrison was full of holes. You had no response to taking any objectives other than attempting to zerg a northern tower, and still failed miserably despite abusing the invulnerable spot on the cliff. Your score is purely down to better off peak coverage; when servers have similar player coverage you guys get kicked all over the place. I’ve seen this repeatedly over many weeks now and you have learnt no new tactics or shown any capacity to change. You will never have as much fun as me or my guild in game, but I really have no sympathy. When your players get bored and leave the game I will laugh as Riverside plummets.

I’ll break your illusion now!

Was it really that hard to understand? He said yesterday we were ticking really good.
I joined yesterday evening for a hour. And we actually had queues on all maps…..the first time since our first encounter with you.

street.2176:

Oh no I actually wish Id have got an AC during that time. But sadly I didnt. Wonder how much Bags those guys in the AC’s got.

---

What the….?

At 2:17:20 Riverside runs away before they even see you. They probably needed to defend something on the map or another map. Like hell theyd run because of that lil Melee Train. Or do you think they’ll run all AT THE SAME TIME away the exact second a Player with [TUP] appears on screen? No, they even started running 2-3 sec before the first of your Players was visible. Seriously…

I point at →

Besides all this whining about blobs and ac i want to thank TUP for showing us last night at 2 o´clock, how you keep your bl clean.
You better keep running when you see those boys
Serious, never seen such a good and organized guild. Even with 7 warriors charging in you, it seemed that u lost nothing of your healthpool. after the fifth or sixth time dying in hills and the south camp of it, we decided to leave you alone.
Very nice play, seeing those elementalists and guards how they keep you all up after the first ambush.
We see us on the battlefield and be patient for my bad english

At least he was honest. :P
Just accept that you got the boring AC-reputation from a variety of servers. Somehow you must have earned it.

This week is a GW2-free week for me(mostly). Had enough german matchups for the last couple of months.
People like Wam and Dranul get so frustrated by this, they even start flamewars because its the only way of doing war against you without AC support. :P

Was fun and thanks for the good fights and kind words.

Always looking for the action, especially on reset and while we can’t be everywhere at once. We shared our time with DL and RS as best we could. Really good evening.

PS: Don’t advise people to run, we want fights! /shakes fist

I feel like we have to play worse to lure them out.

Finally I can use my Mindless Riverside Zombie [BLOB]-guild again! Was already two weeks without RS in the last 3 months.

I laughed. Have fun with empty maps this week.

Oh wow, finally Arenanet did something right for a week!
Next week will be a good week.

NJW.1394:

Riverside mesmer hacking in Gandara. Ports himself inside Longview tower and as soon as he gets downed he ports on top of the nearby sentry flag at full health. Only to start all over again.

Guildies have mentioned the same thing is going on at Briar.

Almost all of AG knows this guy. Seeing that his WvW-rank is getting higher and higher, my guess is that the is a WvW regular. So PLEASE dear people of RS. Make him feeling uncomfortable in WvW.

Those were 3 ACs and a Ballista.

Highlight for us were your perfectly placed Catas. With a bit of trolling of swirling winds you noticed something is wrong.

Gandaraaaaaaaaaaaaa looose haaaaaaaaarder, I know you waaaaaaaaaaaaant us!

Let the hunger games begin. I doubt there will be many from RS/AM here.

Really disappointed from reset so far. Only giant zerging for 3 hours now.

Take back AM and give us our Gandara back.

FrouFrou.4958:

Aws, going to miss AG duderos. See you again in the future :<

I fear there wont be good duels for a long time now.

Argwulf cmon, how often do I have to tell you the same thing?

i am sorry for the cheater at sunny. after we saw him inside we stopped attacking. hoping for a fair fight

no need to laugh at us Riverside [DE] Knight.

Pheppo.9286:

Sirendor.1394:

I hope RS goes through to the next tier soon, let them blob there. Ugly coward germans.
I never ever see them in groups of 1-5, always 15-20. In any case, gandaran picture of the day!

hmmmm … but if you run with 10 people … you will not kill a group of 3-5?
Thats WvW … if its to hard for you … just go and play hello kitty

Im just a little curious. How many people had Aurora when the took bay today at 22.00? It was an amazing amount of players.
Whished we had the same count of people to fight you within the bay. Anyway … though and ruthless action from your side.

Bay? Maybe 50. Not much more than that. Thing is: after capping bay the guild split. National servers sadly dont do this very often. The stay together. Not saying its good or bad, its just more annoying for your opponents for sure.

Generally fighting national server feels like 1 commander → 1 group on every map.
Bragging screens with PvD points are completly bullcrap tho.

Siphaed.9235:

DevonCarver.5370:

Terrahero.9358:

DevonCarver.5370:

That’s also what was the impetus for removing the crafting stations. The more time people spend in the maps not playing WvW, the longer the queues are.

I take it this means you will be removing Jumping Puzzles from WvW aswell… you know, people jumping around not doing WvW… Just to “earn” badges without actually having to fight or contribute. Taking up slots.

Now that would have a far greater impact of removing deadweigth players from WvW than removing crafting stations, while being a far smaller bother to your actual WvW community.

I wonder if we can even do that… :P The EB JP is coming out for the May 14th release.

What the [blank] is wrong with you guys? This was niche content, sure, but it was something that many enjoyed. It still was PvP content, was fun, challenging, and added a sense of adventure. The JP’s in the Borderlands are so far out of the way that people rarely participate within them, leaving no real PvP usage of them at all.

You misunderstood. EB JP will get its own map instead of counting into EB. My guess is that they build some flair around it (grubs, worms, maybe a part of the living story or a duengon).

But I created this thread because of a different issue: There is no bank at 6 out of 9 BL spawns. The citadel spawns have the crafting stations, but well…
The blue spawn on the red border doesnt even have a normal merchant with salvage kits and stuff. This is like 4h work for a programmer, but still nobody fixed this issue.
An issue that is imo very important.

Except Anet thinks WvW isnt enough of a gold sink and wants us to buy bank acces thingys from the gem shop.

I actually like the Idea behind traps.
a) give traps the same range a AC can shoot at
b) make traps activate if enough people stand/walk over them (about 50+ seems right)
c) instantly kill everything in the aoe of the trap

Costs 10 supply to build, not usable within keeps/towers/supply camps.

But knowing Anet it will be poorly designed (poorly designed = everything that doesnt instantly kill a blob :P) and just added to the game. Instead of rebalance most of WvW for a change like that, Anet will add just another gimmicky thing to WvW. Something it really doesnt need right now.

Kaleden.9386:

Outfitter? You mean the NPCs selling PVP weapons/armor? If so, did you check just south of the home-point spawn location on Red BL – they were the last time I saw them (this was on Sanctum of Rall’s borderlands a few weeks ago).

I do wish banks were more accessible in WvW, but those are one of the few useful perks from upgrading personnel at a Keep. That said, IIRC, the banks were removed because people were queuing up for WvW just to access their bank, causing longer queue times.

Sorry, I was half asleep when creating the topic.
What I mean, is the guy that sells salvage kits and stuff. There is none in the spawn point of the blue server of the red BL. However on the green BL there is one again.

I agree that craftin stations arent for WvW. But having a bank is just essential. Its much faster to get to LA via HOTM than WvW anyways. And there you have everything you need. But if you are already in WvW, and spend most of your time in WvW, it’s really annoying to change maps so often just for bank access. And there are also server with queue, who cant just leave a map for the bank.

There are just three things that make me sad:
- Mistform nerf did nerf everything but d/d bunkers (wich is quite sad, since there isnt much diversity in builds anyways for WvW)

- RTL was just THE skill to make this game more enjoable by being able to move somewhere faster (i am talking about towns and PvE now) since you could reduce the time running somewhere. Jjust running somewhere isnt fun.

- I am more than 100% sure the patch notes said “Blocks, Evades and stuff count as hit” for RTL when the notes just came out. Wich would mean it would be less buggy. But now the Post got edited 6 days ago…and I feel like I know what got edited.
Just proves, that the people in Anet dont even communicate/document the changes they do in detail to each other.

Well, you can take away the stupid worms, grubs and stuff. But please leave the useful NPCs in the game. First you took away the banks from the Borderlands (except the crafting stations in your own BL) and nobody remembers that today.
But now the red border doesnt even have a normal outfitter left. Plase give us our good NPCs back!

Shouldnt be too hard. And I cant imagine a way how they can get lost anyways….

Where did all of RS go? :O

Ragnar.4257:

Immolator.5640:

It kind of makes me cry inside fighting you ECL; so many and we’re not really suited to fighting decent guilds without equal numbers; you guys smashed through us quite a lot – might have to ask Dius or another source of pro wisdom how to counter you.

Change map, and go find TUP or WvW (the other one). They know how to have a good time.

I’m not even joking, this is by far the best counter.

¡Muchas gracias for yesterdays fights! <3

FrouFrou.4958:

At least for us it’s usually in a map that has no queues, late in the night when most of the guild raids are over and there isn’t much going on anyways. I don’t see how it’s destroying it for anyone.

It’s not like your server or my server have any queues on the green BL anyways. :P

multivira.7925:

Seregon.2187:

We’re not sure wth was going on there, whether or not we interrupted a gvg or why all 3 servers were at the windmill in great numbers (well.. we might’ve lured RS there). But… We had a lot of fun! Cheered us up after getting demotivated by sieged up towers/keeps everywhere ^^

Regards, the (for kittens and giggles) [BLOB] initiative.

So [BLOB] was [WvW]? Had an amazing fight there at the island until Riverside ruined it :P

[BLOB] is mostly [WvW]. But since we were running only 16 yesterday, we invited some PUGs for ze fun. We were about 20-23 with PUGs in that guild, but you can hardly call it a [BLOB].
Hell, I think I even invited some fellow TDS gandarians into the guild.

Gandara confirmed being drunk:

Thanks for the awesome fights up until now in RS-BL. Had 2 hours of good fighting, even with RS.

Hazor.3140:

Sure, because mist form stomping isnt way stronger than stealth stomping lol

Yea. Burning a 90s cd utility skill is totally comparable to 60% of the fight stealth….

Pukknub.7368:

I don’t understand why people are so upset with the changes to elementalists.
Double cd on RTL, okey. But it wasn’t you only gap closener, and it was from weapon and not utility. And the cd is decreased by 50% if you hit an enemy, I.E if you use it as gap closener.

Mist form was a very strong spell and still is. Engineer got the same change, maybe warriors also should get it.
Passive cleanse got 5sec cd, I don’t know if that’s a big deal. (Edit: I noticed this was for spvp only, so I guess it didn’t change in wvw.)

But that’s basically it, or did I miss something?
Please enlighten me, because I really don’t understand.

Its simple:
Eles die to conditions in no time, that means that Eles have to remove conditions on every move they do.
“But hey!”, everyone said: “You have condition removal on your normal heal!”
Well, guess what, it is a channeling spell. Means that a lot of stuff will just disrupt you and you wont heal/remove conditions at all. We had mistform to compensate for that, now its gone.
BUT: d/d eles could live with that: auras, evasive arcana and a lot of vigor can keep you alive. Staff Eles cant. Staff Eles rely on Mistform in almost every battle they can take, because they dont have the bunkery of the d/d ones. Same goes for other builds (but nobody uses them in WvW).
So, d/d eles got a small nerf from that, most other builds got a big nerf.

BUT: It wasnt enough that RTL should get the “Mosty buggy skill ingame”-Award. I really dont know how long it took to fix the bug that made you stuck for seconds after every RTL. But now Anet even took about 30% of mobility of d/d builds too, by doubeling the cd. Now you have to kill a lot of cats, rats, owls and whatever is in your way when trying to get across the map fast.

Now there are players who dont like the thief class. They cant play it and feel guilty because they started a thief once and stopped playing it early lvls because it is just stupid. These are the people who created a Elementalist instead to play d/d. Mobility, some dmg, some tankyness. But mostly the fun playing a light-armor wizard class directly in your opponents face, made Ele interesting. Now the fun is gone, because d/d is not mobile, staff cant survive 2 heartseekers and the other builds dont bring anything usefull for the group.

Basicly all the balance changes in this patch made all classes more equal. Just to make it harder to stick out.

Only from a WvW players standpoint.

DevonCarver.5370:

I love bacon too. And, we are hustling to make this a reality. Just remember to listen to George Michael. “You’ve gotta have faith.”

You guys make it really hard to have any faith because until you (Devon) came into WvW it wasnt moving anywhere. And IF it moved, it was backwards.
You have a lot to make up for to make people believe….sadly.

ECL vs RG
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6N0Jb817Qg
we died with honor :P

Nice video, epic roleplay, I love the spirit! I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again, the overall score doesn’t always reflect how close some of the fights were. It certainly felt like we were pressured most of the time and it was never easy to win a fight. Interesting tactic with the bunker engi, to keep enemy in combat and bait an attack.

Once you get your stacks up after the first 2 fights…..

dangerdoom.3862:

Haha TUP you guys are funny. Your server has been guild blobbing from day one and now you’re trying to defend it..

He is talking about the fact that we dont have 1 commander – 1 map zergs with queues all the time like RS had for example.
Map/team-chat on AG looks like this (except our own BL where we have most PUGs):
Blablabla
Guild1: We got wiped 3 times at X already, can someone come and help?
Guild2: Ok, we get supply and get to your position
fighting
Guild2: Ok we go Y next, ask us if you need help again!
Blablarandomtalk

Other servers have 1 commander that is leading 80 all the time, we have 80 only if needed. I think that is one of the reasons why we perform so bad sometimes. For example: I have been sieging Bay for so many times now…. as soon as the outer wall breaches, we go inside, and try to do seperate things as guilds. And often we get eaten by giant blobs seperatly.

That said, mostly against BB and RS. Almost never agains other servers (didnt play much WvW for a bit now, cant tell if AR is better or not :P)

Greetings

Ok I Did It.2854:

All these changes and yet Ele’s will still beable to Vapor Form through the portals into keeps/towers etc when in downed state and cannot be attacked, this is the only class that has the ability to escape downed into a safe location. Are you going to boost the others classes so we can escape into a portal to avoid death too????

Holy poo, calm down a bit.
Anet is really trying to make all classes the same to prevent any interesting compositions in groups or different options of playing your own class.
RTL with 40s cd1 if you dont hit anything? Better place a TON of ambient creatures around on the WvW maps. And take every single skill from thief and warrior that can help their mobility! And take the rush from the snow leopard too!
Better take the support out of the staff ele too! Oh wait, he cant remove more than 1 condition with his 45s cd water field!
At least its a buff to necros and engies.

Confusion nerf is ok, retaliation nerf not needed in any kind or form. Warrior new super-trait wont find any use because of the placement.

Guildies were calling me crazy when I said ele will get really boring soon and I rather try to lvl a guardian now. Cant do anything wrong with a guardian! Never in this game!

Zumy.6318:

Well, I met some of them in t8 yesterday…

rddt started out on Whiteside Ridge or Weißflankengrad wenns hillft. And transfered to AG around feburary (iirc). Seems like not every member transfered.
So you got the WvW-oriented players of rddt for a few months already now. The ones you meet on WSR arent very WvW-active probalbly.

Hard to organise a 500 man guild if you dont have the tools for it.

LOL Dius. Thanks for letting me finish my daily peacefully at the south camp.
Muchos gracias from the moose with fireworks! :P
