RoF kitten their pants on our reset strenght even though they field the double amounts of players easily all week and have proven to beat us easily before, even before we lost more major guilds. Surmia is mad at its guild and therfor made the pact – they know about our strength, its just a bit better then them. So this week of bullkitten gameplay has been brought to you by bad judgement into wet pants of RoF players and small-hearted Surmians having a grudge against their former guild. I would ask you to drop this alliance immediately so we can have some enjoyable fights. If people considered their experiences and had a look at matchups / ladder on a regular basis there would be better judgement in this matter instead of this short-circuit reaction which gives us a green EB in the result.
One more Thing before i go:
The Alliance with Surmia against Dzag stemmed from the experience of the week before – we knew we cant stand up to Dzag even if we worked together, and the pact changed nothing of the outcome, we both got stomped into infinity, just had a little more fun while we were at it. This is different

lol i used the signets build too while leveling when i was a newbie. dont tell me you can facetank anything more then 2-3 regular mobs. the point is you dodge and whirlwind and use the regen to kite untill you can do damage again, just like the people at lvl 80. with the signet build you either kill or die or run away. its a newbie build and you dont learn to play with it, an on top its also getting really bad performance-wise when you are out of the low levels.
i fear we will look back to this day and remember the good old wvw as it is now – Jan 2015
pve includes dungeons. this signet build gives some good critical at low level, but thats its only point and besides that its useless. also you dont even learn to use your utility and healing skills.
by all means, try the signet build (you are in good company) – but get rid of it in good time, about lvl 40ish or before you go to a serious encounter like a dungeon.
i fear we will look back to this day and remember the good old wvw as it is now – Jan 2015
healing signet regen is way bad at lvl 80 without healing stats (with a lot of healing its not bad) but really good at low level. the dolyak runes, as mentioned, have very bad regen. the banners need traiting into regen and are generally crap if not for the regen, wouldnt waste a slot on them. so for me its still just mango pie and adrenal health and the eventual rejuven booster i pick up. as i play mostly WvW i count on getting the normal regeneration from somewhere else. i use healing surge or mending depending if i need condition removal or just big heals.
i fear we will look back to this day and remember the good old wvw as it is now – Jan 2015
yeah happy dieing to veterans and multiple mobs. that guide is crap and if you run into a dungeon with that build you gonna get kicked right away for being a clueless newbie, no offense.
i fear we will look back to this day and remember the good old wvw as it is now – Jan 2015
on top of it there is really cheap buff food called mango pie that will give you 3rd regeneration (you can get 4th even from regen boosts, but hard to get).. when you can afford it (just a few copper per piece) it will make you last much longer. good luck with leveling =)
i fear we will look back to this day and remember the good old wvw as it is now – Jan 2015
when ur starting out, should go for the defensive tree (toughness and healing) and put the signet of healing – its some mad heals at low level. and when you get adrenal health (15points into defense) things will get easy. rock a greatsword by the way, at least for leveling. 100b > all in PVE.
i fear we will look back to this day and remember the good old wvw as it is now – Jan 2015
for WvW you want to use the longbow, as its the only viable siege weapon for warrior and you’ll be defending and attacking walls all the time. personally i couple it with greatsword for good damage output, also the combofield into whirlwind is nice, and other options present themselves with the longbow #5 for example.
as a starter you might want to look at the karma set power/toughness/vitality from temple, its cheap (42k a piece) and good stats for warrior. couple it with knights trinkets or something a bit more in the damage department and you’re good to go.

you can 1v1 with a good player and lose. you can 1v3 with some upscaled newbies and win.. not telling a lot imho. in WvW i have some success with 30 points in defense into spiked armor, with endure pain and fear me i can cause a lot of havoc in the middle of enemies and still make it out alive. still trying to find the best traits with those 30 mandatory points, ive had some success with 20/20/30/0/0 but missing the condition removal and faster weapon swap. (im gs/lb too)… still trying to find the perfect build. im running the free fraps and i never remember to press the record button before i go into the fray.. so no vids yet. >.<

i spend time to get money. much less time then you spend to farm to get the same stuff as me. now i dont mind people who actually have fun at farming. but from my experience you only farm to get the ressources, its a means, not an end. and if people could pick up 1 gold instead of farming orr for an hour they would do it, that is my judgement. so whatever your definition, you cant deny i got an edge on you by paying euros and putting my real-life-weight in the ring. and its not like i find that a good principle in gaming. for me it should be the one putting most time = the uber hero, not the one putting most money. i just put some euros because i couldnt for the hell of it be arsed to spend 100+ hours farming orr to get a commander title.
if you had full exotics on hitting lvl 80 you didnt rush there.. i arrived at 80 completely broke because i put focus on full exp and only got my grandmaster book at around lvl 78. or you are just lieing or talking about an alt-char because that sounds pretty much like bullkitten to me. you need around 200k karma, 300 pvp badges and 12g to go instant-exotics. if you got that on hitting lvl 80 you really went out of your way to get karma and gold.
i fear we will look back to this day and remember the good old wvw as it is now – Jan 2015
and how long did you need to get it? i needed about 4 hours if i do the maths on euros into gold. so thats my edge. also i could have had the full exotic set on the moment i hit 80, without farming a copper. thats an edge because you didnt have it back then. i could by the ascended mats or legendary mats without farming a month but farming 3 hours at work. i could buy chests for buffs, the best buff food all the time – without ever farming a minute. i dont see what exactly is hard to see about the fact that 1 person can do in 1 minute IRL what another needs 100 hours for ingame and you dont see the “edge”.. its just acting stupid, its not like the logic doesnt apply to your mind.

Dropper be carefull if you are german i might indeed hit you up for beers TOMORROW lol. (schweizer^^)
btw hills was at 0 supply when i joined there and you cant use a waypoint during battle. it all boils down to defenders putting good aoe and not letting siege pop up.
i fear we will look back to this day and remember the good old wvw as it is now – Jan 2015
No hard feelings, HtFde – just saying it took away from our defensive capabilites and im not 100% sure like Dropper that you would have taken it anyways. without the confusion we could have set more fire aoe on the gate to destroy attackers where we had been busy destroying ram before. we had some supply in tower to repair gate to give us another 2-3 minutes at least (you didnt have any siege anymore).. maybe some more backup could have come, it was right next to our spawn. just saying it isnt like nothing happened at all as Dropper makes it out to be here and i wouldnt bet my hand on your success without the glitching there. And Dropper if you never seen towers defended by people outnumbered 1 to 3 or more i assume you are new to WvW, because your guys did exactly what you said to be impossible just a few hours later to us, held us for like 2 hours at hills with 5-7 men when we were like 20-30.
i fear we will look back to this day and remember the good old wvw as it is now – Jan 2015
sorry but we hold 20+ people with a handfull of defenders all the time, nothing special in WvW. you did the same thing with us yesterday night at hills. of course you would call it skill on your side wouldnt you
and it wasnt only 1 guy. i remember 1 guy solo doing it wielding a greatsword and 2 other guys doing it together at least two times in short time, 1 a thief and one something else.
i fear we will look back to this day and remember the good old wvw as it is now – Jan 2015
i put 100 euro on the table now 30 people run after me in WvW. i need about 2 weeks for first full exotic set. did the 2nd in 2 minutes from those euros aswell.. GW2 is very pay2winish and the only factor that makes me not really care about is the base line power of full exotic is kinda easy to get and theres not much above it in terms of stats ATM.
i fear we will look back to this day and remember the good old wvw as it is now – Jan 2015
the problem is if you glitch in the defenders will focus you isntead of the the attackers that do damage on the gate, so its very “unkind”. for example i was a warrior with a longbow and i started attacking people who glitched through the door. i didnt know at that point it was a bug, and im pretty sure i saw the same people do it several times for lulz. your ram was already down (also because of many fire fields and explo shots from me) and we had a few sups left to repair the gate. if we continue fire before gate instead of playing around with your glichters inside maybe we had a chance to hold.. so thats a very sour taste in my mouth.

-We have talked about population issues but don’t design for it
makes sense since the screwed few people on the underpopulated server are only few and thus have no weight anyways. so anet’s actual philosophy is if you want good WvW transfer up to higher tiers coz we aint doint nothing for the servers that lost their WvWers to free transfers.
also tried to watch the vid but cant skip blabla in the beginning so skipped the movie instead.
i fear we will look back to this day and remember the good old wvw as it is now – Jan 2015
BLA BLA BLA warrior 30-40 kills a minute what utter lies. just swinging your sword at some people that are aoe bombed doesnt mean a kill. the amount of absurdity of your post makes me think you are a thief?
i fear we will look back to this day and remember the good old wvw as it is now – Jan 2015
its ridiculous. 3 months and nothing done except bullkitten nerves. thief stealth and disengage is out of control with that kinda damage. im only keeping my head up because im a very tanky warrior so thieves have it hard on me. if i wasnt that id be kitten as kitten and probably /ragequit too. Its just a huge design failure from someone who has no kittening clue about serious pvp, no offense! just get that kitten right and tone down the damage OR the disengage OR the stealth. just one of 3 things, get it kittening right already, its breaking my game and its been rubbed in your face for many weeks/months even on a milion posts.

very impressive defense at your bay. very disciplined and doing the right thing at all times. we had superior numbers but could not win. very well done, my respect! i think you had to pull over troops from EB though? :P stuff cleared up there when hit bay with full force.
i fear we will look back to this day and remember the good old wvw as it is now – Jan 2015
For my server in T8 its a very good opportunity to “break out” of the “iron grip” of about 15 defenders who nightcapped a whole map :P Without it we would be doing much worse, as its a chance to get a few people relatively safe to taking a tower and start building up a zerg. i am very happy about those events and would hate to see them go.
i fear we will look back to this day and remember the good old wvw as it is now – Jan 2015
warriors are hard to master – unlike kitten mesmers. just having your GS and being able to 100b a Risen in 1 skill doesnt make a warrior – you need high situational awareness, nice coordination with quick reflexes and a thought through build thats waterproof against all kinds of offensive tactics – then you can cut through a zerg on the frontline like a boss with your outstanding survivability and huge damage potential (have you looked at the 30 points Quickness trait for example? imba.). it took me a long long time to master this class compared to other games warriors, the low “skillcap” is very misleading, because as a tanky melee you dont need the skills to press the buttons in the right rotation, you need them to keep 1 step ahead of your enemy in terms of brutality.
i fear we will look back to this day and remember the good old wvw as it is now – Jan 2015
if you are a thief with critical build and dont want to get 1hit.. my warrior has 3 times your hp, 2 times your armor – nothing would hit me very hard at all :P

Nice countertrebbing, Dzagonur, it was impossible to take SM or your keep on Eternal for me yesterday. (I was running commander in Eternal during they daytime on sunday). Great fights too, we wiped you out of Anza several times when the circle at Lord’s room was already down! Phew! Guess you hated us biting in your west side like a mad terrier Good fights guys, looking forward to more =)

hey man give us one more week :P this week we gonna drop one tier because we are overpowered by AG, but next week i think we will be on top with balanced enemies andn good fights :P would hate to see more people leaving gunnars in this difficult time
i fear we will look back to this day and remember the good old wvw as it is now – Jan 2015
you have nice guilds AG. if UNITY and FURY can get their members to run like SOE or TDA from gunnars (which learned from boon control from piken and others ) you will rise higher then T6 i think. At the moment i dont see them running in tight formation and fully coordinated, i see lots of them members just running with the big zergs. But there is much more power in running tight guild groups, try to get there. When FURY and UNITY run like boon control from piken you surely will rise high in tiers =) Good luck!

look all this trolling stuff is just lame excuses. if people troll there is nothing the server can do about it except report and thats walking a thin line. if you cant take trolling then get off the internet. when KISS left to ehmry, there werent words about trolling. They came back a week later and got trolled a bit? Wow the wonders.. now they take this as a excuse to make their leaving better. Fact is they leave for the same reason they left for ehmry and thats they just cant lose and they get no recognition from the server because they dont work together with the server. They kitten of good guilds like that and in the end left themselves after we kept dropping. Not after writing something about “gunnar’s not working together”, i found that the best words, the irony! There is bad blood and its because of KISS leader being a great pretender and not man enough to say they are leaving because we are losing. instead he tries to make gunnars look bad and drive off other guilds from gunnars, making shallow words about friendship while stabbing the server in the back.. just an utter kitten.
for the record im not in any guild, this is all my impression as a lone player from various forum posts and ingame chat.

im a warrior using shout build and i have FGJ on autocast. after about 3 days i didnt even hear it anymore myself. but yeah i understand its annoying and if you ask to take it off in city i can understand and it would be good manners to turn it off. but usually i forget about that since i dont notice it anymore myself. however at least its FGJ and not ON MY MARK!
i fear we will look back to this day and remember the good old wvw as it is now – Jan 2015
My opinion, way to many means to stealth in combat. I never seen a game where a class can constantly come in and out of stealth with such ease.
This. It doesnt go together with huge damage. basically if you go out of stealth you should be unable to make a quick escape from whatever situation 3 seconds later. If you fail at picking a good engage you should be punished, not be able to press a button to get out of whatever situation. The disengage of thieves is far too strong for the damage and engagement possibilities.
