Is that really a treb under the water at Bay? Wow… Looks like FA is pressing for that naval WvW xD

Nah it’s not under water…

Correct. FA Navy is only present underwater. Underwater legendaries are preferred.

Theres seems to be a trend going with SBI. Goes a little something like this.

Winning->We’re ub3r skilled all fights in all timezones are even

Losing->Stop 2v1ing us. You’re making a mess of the game mode

Other Servers->lolwut2v1ing?

SBI continues to complain then servers do end up 2v1ing them for the lols.

wut

tl;dr plz without the weird baby talk ty

What?*

DeathPanel.8362:

You can’t win any 1 v 1 with staff in wvw regardless of build anyway. Might as well go full zerk in zergs.

This sums it up pretty good. I’m not in favor of full zerk, but the point also extends to traits so might as well roll with 30/30/0/0/10 for pure AoE havok.

Considering how fast an zerk ele goes down in small scale fights, I would not recommend full zerk in a zerg. You would die within 1 second of AoE spam if you get caught in a push. Plus, you are the first ones focused during a fight by the enemy skirmishers. Ya need some survivability. The celestial builds offered are pretty solid and can hit pretty hard while still having a great deal of uptime.

That said, it’s all about positioning for staff Eles in a fight. So if you are confident in your play and can stay out of stuff, feel free to go more zerk.

Man, didn’t know TW’s guardian builds were so secretive you have to block out the skill bar. Must be using some really special versions of Staff and Hammer or something. Looks like 0-10-30-30-0 with celestial trinkets or something. Them numbers be hard to replicate.

OrianZeta.1537:

1v1/2v1 situation is manageable, not much to say if you get hit. Though a warrior sniping 1500 range when you’re preoccupied (looked like OP was hitting a camp/tapping a gate?) and jumped, pretty easy to miss a KS.

Still way too many ignorant posts and trolls (“lol try 2 doge”). A “half bunker ele” getting tagged for 15k does seem a bit excessive. “Press X to not die”, especially in WvW, is simply cheap design and a terrible excuse for balance, I don’t care how bad a skill is.

IMO it’s a cheap skill for being able to hit so hard from so far away on a short cooldown that’s built into the class (no skill sacrifices), but if that’s mostly what rifle does well then I’m with letting lame warriors get their rocks off with it; good warriors don’t need this cheap burst and wouldn’t waste their adren on it, they would know how to fight.

The thing is, warriors who can pull this off do completely build for it and do it just to troll people. Stop acting like there is honor in a game. Kill people however you want. Be prepared to be killed as well.

Holy crap, FA I didn’t expect this from you! Beat TC and it means you are on par with SoR.

You have to remember that it took a huge assist from JQ in order for us to beat SoR. Look what SoR did to us the previous week.

This week has been fun. Last night, there were constant 3 way fights outside between garrison and bay. It was not about ppt and everyone just fighting to fight. A great time. Much respect to CNB (best guild name btw), YOLO, STUN, PiNK, and the whole slew of FA people who fought.

I think all of those are gag names by AGG. Why not just thank them (unless it was the real Chuck Norris is Back)

Because they didn’t know they were gag names by AGG? I mean I didn’t but once I took a closer look and just realized it was an enormous melee train I figured it out.

You buy the recipe with karma from the armorsmithing merchant. Then you craft em.

Hm, topic with congratulations to blackgate, made by players of blackgate, with video about blackgate, published because of vote between blackgate players on blackgate forum, and full of posts made by blackgate players?
Yes, I think that your idea have some rational point.

No one’s making you watch it.

It shouldn’t be wrong for people to celebrate themselves having fun in the game with their servermates.

that is what server forums are for

Server forums can be that too but I’d say it also fits in the broad category of “WvW Discussion”.

is it really discussion here?

can’t say more than this heh: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/rules

More or less yes, The video is WvW related and many people have came here to share there views on both the video and our server. As far as WvW forums go, this isn’t a recruitment post and it isn’t a match up thread so that leaves only one sub forum for it to be posted in. Also as Anet employees have posted in the thread, if there was a issue with it being here, I think they would have taken care of it by now.

Hey Anet. Can we get this moved to Linksville? I think it fits more in there than here.

Nah dude. Didn’t you know? Blackgate = GW2. The main forums are Blackgate’s forums. They just allow the rest of us to post here.

I agree with Oghier. I recently started playing staff ele in WvW and I love it. Going from Thief to Guard and now to Ele has given me a good snapshot at all areas of WvW.

I love harassing the enemy zerg as they approach. Drop statics in the middles of them, Unsteady Ground out front, Frozen ground and such. Being able to control the enemy’s movement and attract their attention is a ton of fun. I was able to get entire zergs to follow me into choke points where my guild was waiting to kill them.

Also, the support roll is great. I feel like I am keeping my guildies alive and more directly influencing the battle.

Plus, popping Meteor Shower and Tornado is always a laugh.

Oh and to [BEAR] guild on TC BL last night. Those structures you took were mostly paper and we allowed you to take most of them to help keep SoS in the game and continue to fight as the week progresses.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/condescending

fo real yo.

Not even in the slightest bit was this intended to be condescending – you would have heard me on voice comms telling people to let SoS take a few things if you were playing when we were they bring a good fight.

I legitimately want them to stay in this fight because it’s more fun this way for all servers.

But whatever – everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, yo.

How’s that legitimate? I doubt SOS wants freebies. Winning is where the fun is, not PvD on an empty keep.

With the amount of omega golems you guys have devoted to the MIGHTY GOLEM GOD this week, you’d be surprising me if this was true ;o hehe

Also yesterday in SoS BL was the silliest time I’ve ever had in WvW period. GODS PvDooring into the keep (you didnt need the golem with 80 people, come on now), staying in the keep without even hiding until we took it back. And then jumping in when the (very large) FA and SoS groups were fighting in hills lords room and stealing the last two ticks to cap it ;P We were laughing SO HARD about it

So wait, you are admitting you can’t take a keep by yourselves and can only leach off of FA or SoS? Good to know.

such next level logic

Assassin X.8573:

Daoc stealth system was best. Perma stealth but once you put yourself into combat or you took damage from an aoe, you were removed from stealth and I believe there was a 45 second timer at minimum before you could re-stealth. So the stealth system would be better if it modelled daoc system. Perma and only reenter once you are out of combat ei when you can swap skills.

That would be such a nerf to thief. Because many of them are dead meat if they cannot stealth anymore. It would require a skill change because lots of the d/d damage is from hitting in stealth :/

Yet it worked well in daoc……

Probably because the class wasn’t completely built around being able to stealth and/or evade. Thieves and Guardians both have the lowest base health pool yet are both in-your-face fighters for the most part. They survive by stealth and evades for thieves and boons and virtues for guardians. Take away a guardians boons or virtues and you are left with a walking loot bag. Take away a thief’s stealth and while they can certainly survive and fight well, they are severely limited in terms of when they can engage and disengage.

Then again, I have no idea what DoAC was like.

Conveniently, perma-stealth is going tomorrow. There you go.

Ha ha..if you think that is what is broken with the stealth system then I don’t know what to say..

Considering I’m not a terrible player who cries over getting ganked by thieves I think I will be okay.

Protip. If a thief goes stealth mid combat or upon engage, he is going for a backstab 98% of the time. Count to 2-3 depending on distance between you and dodge. Guess what? A kittening miracle occurs and backstab doesn’t land. Rinse and repeat while laying down AoE and melee everywhere. Frankly, at this point I’m more concerned about condi thieves because if a thief can’t one shot me its gonna be a short battle favoring me. And if a theif does one shot me then it was in the cards that day that I would die. Respawn and run back out.

Next time just find him and pressure him before he can fire again. You had a total of 5 seconds during which he was channeling. And if he can get 15k on a kill-shot on you, you are not nearly as tanky as you think.

I’m talking about balance. The most tanky ele would perhaps have been hit for 12-13k yet would barely be able to scratch that warrior.

Hahahaa….my full support guard would probably pressure this warrior fairly well. The build I run now? It would shred him to pieces. If your ele is balanced as you say you should be able to wipe him with a full rotation.

Considering we are facing TC I think it’s a bit different than SBI facing FA. But whatever. I want fights and TC and SoS provide them. I am looking forward to fighting AGG some more. Even though we get worked its a learning experience. Their bomb hits hard.

Xillllix.3485:

I am not the first one to say it, and I am not talking about the thief backstab which is quite tolerable considering it does only 8k dmg for a very squishy build.

But this: 10,706 dmg and 15,247 dmg Killshots within 5-6 seconds from a warrior that has more health than my quite balanced Ele, my Ele which takes 5 seconds to cast a freaking meteor that does 4k dmg to him IF it hits at all.

During the a very short time window that Warrior does about 30k dmg. I fully healed after the first Killshot which brought me to 6k health, but the second shot brought down 80% of my health, and that is only because I have a half-bunker ele with 20k hp, else its an instant one-shot kill against any normal ele.

What are we supposed to think about that sort of balancing?

You are obviously getting hit by some crappy thieves then. A thief that is equally as dangerous as a kill-shot warrior should be hitting you for at least 12k with just backstab alone. Not to mention a properly strung together Mug-C&D-Backstab.

Stop complaining that a one-trick pony build can insta-kill you. That’s all they can do.

Conncept.7638:

How on earth did you manage to get hit by a second? One is understandable, and if you are squishy enough to get one-shotted that’s just a risk of the build you’ve chosen. But getting hit by two seems flat-out impossible.

1- I didn’t get one shotted and I’m one of the least squishy ele you can find out there.
2- I never thought 2 OP burst like this would be possible in a row, specially not from a guy hiding 1500 away.

If he had built up his adrenaline before hand he could get two shots off as soon as his burst was off cooldown. He fires the first killshot, then waits 8ish seconds, uses his heal which reloads his adrenaline to the very top, and then killshot again.

Next time just find him and pressure him before he can fire again. You had a total of 5 seconds during which he was channeling. And if he can get 15k on a kill-shot on you, you are not nearly as tanky as you think.

Oghier.7419:

Part of me wants to try a 30/30/0/0/10 staff build in full zerker gear. But the other part of me thinks that would not be an elementalist, but a trebuchet with boots (also, a rallybot). I doubt the fun would last long.

I have really enjoyed 0/20/0/30/20 as a balanced all-rounder for WvW group play, and it looks like nothing important will change.

I was theorycrafting a bit ago and came up with that build. What armor and such are you running with that one?

Healix.5819:

Also, when ascended jewel crafting comes out, odds are you’ll be able to craft them.

It was worth it because I didn’t have to deal with a non-WvW server anymore.

You think that IoJ was a non-WvW server?

Oh, my sweet summer child. You should have spent some time on Devona’s Rest

I’ll give you that. IoJ was pretty darn bad though.

NargofWoV.4267:

Liquid.9672:

Here’s my opinion:

Somewhere deep down, Anet developers know that if they make WvW rewards more appealing than other areas of the game, particularly areas that are instanced or can overflow, too many reward chasers will swarm WvW and fill maps that can only handle a set number of players. This will place many PvPers who like the game mode into queues (broken queues I should point out) essentially cutting out the reason the game mode exists in the first place.

Well, they accomplished the very opposite, going forward who’s going to give a rip about doing anything in wvw with no permanent decent items for finishing near at the top or near the top. Why stay at a keep and scout for a complete failure of a heavy decent reward, may as well just tag along with the zerg. Pathetic.

Awesome. More people to kill as they run around like chickens with their head cut off.

It was worth it because I didn’t have to deal with a non-WvW server anymore.

Looks like my predictions on SBI’s implosion, unsurprisingly, turned out to be true.

Now the only question remains how far will SBI fall? What was that about the epic heroic comeback to T1 SBI??

Terrible then, terrible now.

SBI beat FA fair and square on reset night.

We were winning by the end of the weekend.

If you are gloating about PPT go ahead, you get an average of 10k lead every day because of time zone gaps. But our NA can definitely match yours.

And if you really think having a lot of PPT is impressive, check out week 40, before leagues. SBI rolled FA by 70k

Yeah guys SBI is imploding

Man, I really hate bringing up PPT, but if you are I’m just going to point out the 94k loss you had to Yaks and Ebay. It was a double team, yeah, but doesn’t really give an excuse to lose that badly. Being in karma train mode can’t explain it, because if that was true you should be beating FA as we have had karma training since week 1. And yeah, you beat us by 70k before leagues, but the first week of leagues we came back and beat you by 50k. So what happened there? PPT is about coverage, which you bring up. You can’t just then use it as an example as why you are better. Keep the argument consistent.

Anyways, love ya Nacho! I think I’ve seen ya around, but I can’t play EU times as much anymore!

I would just like to take this time to remind FA how terrible they are and how much better bags is than any of ur guilds and u should feel bad about being so bad u baddies.

Thank you for your time.

Who? 15characters

I know its hard to see other guild tags from inside ur 50 man blob but u should learn to show superior and more talented guilds more respect. Its unbecoming of irellevant zerglings such as yourself to talk to your betters in such a fashion.

Hehe, SBI skill.

I saw a lot of it last night on your home BL. Yup, so good that garrison was all that your full queue could maintain on the map.

SBI #1 most skilled at crying NA

When did I say SBI had skill? I said bags had skill and we were on fa and db borderlands last night doing or usual wipes of ur 40-50 man terriblobs with our 12-13 man group. Learn to read before u respond next time plz ur embarrassing urself.

I can make up random numbers 108% of the time. As a matter of fact our group of threeve wiped your group of eleventy godzillian.

Ok sparky listen up and ill learn ya something. First of all I have no reason to lie or make up numbers. They simply are what they are. Just because u are so bad u cannot even fathom wiping a group without outnumbering them does not mean other guilds have to zerg to win. Bags is simply better than u. We have no need to brag or exaggerate we simply state the facts.

You have every reason to lie. It raises your internetz fame and trolling skills +1. I can also make up cool nicknames for anonymous people over the internet, Cheese Nipplez. BAGS is garbage. I can run into a room full of special olympics candidates and throw advanced algebraic equations at them and get more intelligent responses than most BAGS trolls. The only thing you people are good for is keeping the Twinkies production lines going, porn industry wallets full and Comic Book men on the air.

Now to rebut your statement, i ran into sleven BAGS one shot you all with a 4598 × 095820834/433 PI r squared hammersmash.

Oh and before you retort with more trolling, I was running black ops in PVP before you were a dusty box on the shelf at Best Buy.

I do not know what the black ops reference has to do with anything but clearly u are taking my comments the wrong way. Clearly u are an angry person and I feel bad for anyone in your lifr who has to deal with ur intense rage derived from failing at a child’s video game. I am not trolling you I am simply addressing the state of things. U are a bad player and we are better than you. No emotion involved.

My black ops reference was clearly directed at you who is definitely not better than me. I would be more than happy to accept any 1 v 1 request anywhere. OS, behind the windmill, your mom’s basement. Anywhere you want. And yes I am angry. I am angry all the time. I punch random babies in Walmart if they look at me the incorrect way. I club baby seals on weekends. And when I am feeling really randy I like to steal the change cups from the homeless and kick them in the groin.

Want to know why I’m angry? The economy is in the garbage, Breaking Bad is over and Walking Dead doesn’t come back until February. Just be lucky that I haven’t strapped a nuke to my back and paraded through your neighborhood.

PS: If you doubt my 1 v1 skills, just ask the old lady that just left 7-11. The decrepit old wench was hogging the slurpee machine and I was really thirsty. I poured a large coffee and threw it at her. Grab needs his sugar.

You’re trying way too hard

I don’t think you understand his post. Not even in the slightest.

I was just trying to make him aware of my anger management issues.

Yeah I get it, it was just really, really bad. It sounded more like some hack comic at an open mic night or maybe a blogger desperately trying to generate web traffic by being “edgy”. I don’t even know who you are or what server you’re on (FA I’m guessing?) but that was just horrible.

I can’t let you keep posting. He was being ridiculous for a reason. That reason was to get you to respond like this.

I play for fights and fun times with my guild. Also, to shrug after an unsuccessful portal bomb (which is like 98% of the time).

Downskee.2650:

It’s more or less what I am running in WvW. While the attack isn’t too high, you have to assume you are running with might stacks most of the time. Now, this is just what I like to run in WvW, so if you are asking about PvE disregard what I say. I don’t play PvE except when I’m farming FGS.

Jubei.4015:

You know, I expected FA to start slow then let their night time coverage kickin. what the heck is going on over there, you guys bored of this league stuff already? I admit it doesn’t matter right now, you’ll still maintain first even if you decide to get the nightmare stuff knocked out en-masse. but eh Great fights thus far, though I expected more tougher tactics. I really liked watching the flanks you guys ran to wipe us at sbi. very nice. but thus far, not looking too good.

Uh…DB has an ungodly SEA presence so nighttime is never where FA would pick up points this matchup. The grind will start soon however. We shall see in a few days.

Dear native SBI players,

Sorry.

Dear former DR/DH transfers to SBI,

If you haven’t already, you will uninstall the game after this week.

GL;HF.

DDLG is dead, right? I’m pretty upset about it, they were my favorite bags to collect.

Hey CORE! Do you guys happen to remember what happened when DDLG gvg’ed against u guys before they broke up? I dunno if Ive ever fought such a terrible guild. It was like we were fighting rabbits with down syndrome. #EasyWipe

oh hello DDLG person. Yes. I remember. I also remember thinking we would face a 20-man DDLG and only 10 people from BAGS showed up with a DDLG tag. No worries. We took our beating. Hope that made you feel better about losing to us in the open field for the rest of the week. But that’s the past. Hope to see DDLG still running.

Bags was part of DDLG at the time but the guild split. All I remember about core is them QQing non-stop after getting roflstomped in that gvg. Also they might be the worst organized guild group ever. They have no redeeming qualities at all and all their members are atrocious. If u guys ever wanna gvg bags and give us free loots we are always willing. If i was in core id probably have quit this game out of shame a long time ago. How can you play for so long and still be so amazingly bad? #Terribads

I’m sad to see the forum warring of Bags has fallen to this level. You guys used to inspire such hatred and garner reactions with a sophisticated array of posts. This is kindergarten level trash. I feel sorry for Tots. What has become of your guild? You were an inspiration to burgeoning forum warriors in the lower tiers. If this is what has become of Bags I am truly sad.

Dear native SBI players,

Sorry.

Dear former DR/DH transfers to SBI,

If you haven’t already, you will uninstall the game after this week.

GL;HF.

DDLG is dead, right? I’m pretty upset about it, they were my favorite bags to collect.

Hey CORE! Do you guys happen to remember what happened when DDLG gvg’ed against u guys before they broke up? I dunno if Ive ever fought such a terrible guild. It was like we were fighting rabbits with down syndrome. #EasyWipe

oh hello DDLG person. Yes. I remember. I also remember thinking we would face a 20-man DDLG and only 10 people from BAGS showed up with a DDLG tag. No worries. We took our beating. Hope that made you feel better about losing to us in the open field for the rest of the week. But that’s the past. Hope to see DDLG still running.

FA class of the silver league. Since you continue to exhibit class and desire attention I figured I would post another screen shot of two members from “Gods” showing some class and some great dance moves as well.

Maybe you should join the IoJ commander and karma train like the rest of us instead of complaining so much.

I’m sorry, you lost me at CORE.

So you read the entire post and then read CORE and had a massive aneurysm that wiped the past 12 seconds of your memory? You might want to get that checked out Jay. It’s most likely a problem that can be fixed with medicine.

Visirale…

maybe if you guys hadn’t whispered such sweet nothings in our ears ad nauseum
maybe, if you had approached us respectfully instead of being a fat troll
maybe, if you weren’t such a kitten…
you might haven gotten your gvg

makes me smile a little inside that we won’t give you what you want

Maybe we should post what Flappy said to Valco? We’ve been kind enough to keep that on the down low. I hear IOJ is losing some love for you, wouldn’t want to accelerate that process now, would we? Whatever we’ve said to Flappy is amateur hour to the harassment he sent her. So let’s not go posting sweet little threats unless you’re ready to defend that.

Oh I stand by what I said to her 100 percent. Snide whispers on reset night from somebody who you once considered an ally? Great way to set me off, not that it matters now, she and all the other CORE whisperers are on the block list. I stand by my responses to all your harassment as well, because no matter how hard you try to troll, it comes down to the fact that we have killed you several times this week, and we have not died once to you this week. The pattern was the same last time we fought during leagues.
We don’t need a GvG to know that we are better than you, we beat you on uneven terms favoring FA all the time.
Oh and you’re very right, we DO NOT PVP, why the hell would we sPvP, it is a terribly boring game mode, we WvW. Part of WvW is supply management, siege usage, positioning, ambushes, etc. Sorry that you can’t grasp that, and all you know how to do is blow through your enemies with a solid melee line, a shame it didn’t work on us, get tankier…
Also, you must have been blind last night, because for 4 hours in IoJ bl we kept the north keep and towers with only a few pugs backing us up, and ING from DB focusing us as well(good fights btw ING, clever to come in behind FA after they broke on our line and use them as free rallies).

Ooooh…several times we have been killed. kitten . Might need to repair my armor soon then. Probably when the last 3 pieces get ruined by DB later today.

lawl, entering hour 3 of being spawn camped. I just feel bad for the folks on FA who actually want to duel.

That said, accepting all 1v1’s with TUNE/BURN/NUDE/TFS. I’ll gladly let you teabag/corpse dance/laugh spam me if you win!

I don’t take 1v1 sorry buddy I’m a group build not some selfish build that looks out for just me

It takes 10 seconds to change builds/gear, lrn to play noob.

A slight personal attack… uncalled for kitten. Don’t be upset because MEND wiped your guild so many times.

/agree with the poster I am not a solo roamer meme player either.

MEND is on every night, come fight us instead of this drama.

Oh silly MEND, trying so hard to stay relevant. I offered a gvg but that’s too hard for flappy. Sad that the BEST WVW GUILD ON IOJ (self-acclaimed) won’t fight us with even numbers on the open filed, Flappy says he’s the cat’s meow, it should be easy mode against us. Think about all the bragging on the forums you could do!

But yeah, keep those arrow carts warmed and those chokepoints full! And make sure if the enemy has more than you to turn around 180 degrees and run for the tower! Can I be in MEND now? I think I have all the rules down pat.

I can see your kitten has only grown stronger since you trolled your own leader out of the guild. I can understand your behavior though, such a massive organ requires a lot of blood that would otherwise be put to use in your brain.

Personally I am curious how you guys keep managing to whisper taunts and abuses to me every time we kill you regardless of how my block list grows every time. Enjoy it while it lasts I suppose, eventually all of CORE will be blocked, and you will have nobody to talk to but the next guy in the jerking circle.

And I will say it again. We do not gvg, we think it is a perversion of the game mode, you can find us every night after 8:30 pm, no exceptions. I can guarantee you that we are not hiding behind walls and gates, we are capping back everything that should be ours in our BL or in EB every single night.

I don’t know Flappy. IoJ has looked pretty green all week. Last night even more so. Got some good fights from DB though. Haven’t seen MEND all week.

Jay.7546:

Class of the Silver League. Hail FA. All class all day lol The sublime truth is hard to take apparently. I will admit more people turned to pve because of the utter failure the league has been. Not a soul, unless you are a server jumper, can figure out why Anet didn’t freeze transfers until after the season. I admire everyone who signs on for IOJ and still comes into wvw to play.

As for getting any new pve players to come in, nah don’t think so. I’ve talked to a lot of people in LA doing the Nightmare event and now Fractals and the consensus is the league is a little lop sided and what’s the point. They need to get map completion but they will wait until the league is over. And can you believe it, even adding the Toxic to wvw could not draw in the masses. I’m amazed.

So be smug, witty, and arrogant because at the CORE you are just a server who has benefited from the cowardly last minute guild transfers deliberately done to damage the integrity of the league and hurt certain servers like IOJ.

Having fun yet? Getting that loot if you aren’t fast enough to the lords room? Improving your skills in your 5 v 1 battles? Ahh the benefits of a big server. Hope that chest at the end is worth it lol And I love the responses. All appreciated, some show the class one has come to expect from FA. Keep camping the JP fellas, keep laughing and sitting on your opponents, drop more siege in the open since you have no need for it normally. FA, All class all day.

Sounds good Jay! Thanks again for your exposition on the match-up. It was truly a great in-depth look at WvW and Silver league in general! I cannot wait for more well-written prose on the state of the game from Jay!

Jay.7546:

FA, FA, FA out of all the servers we have played it seems you show the least class. You have a million man zerg and by virture of that it must sadden you to know that you will win the match-up before it even begins. It must be frustrating for many of your players because no matter how many times you cap and recap towers/keeps/camps a ton of you are not getting loot. Sheer numbers melt the lords and champs too quick for the mass of slower non-ranged players to get a piece of the pie.

So, many of your players have resorted to JP camping, spawn camping, laughing and sitting on top of others and the famous all class move of dropping siege on the fallen. All clkitten acts derived from a frustrated giant who can only win because of a sheer numbers. But, no worries, we still love the smaller wipes when our numbers are close to equal and your lack of ability shines. Plus it’s fun to see FA either run or hide so as not to engage. Do any of you fight without 40 plus behind you. Hope so.

Here is a little screen shot to prove the class of the Silver league that FA is. Note the red blob hunkering down on the treb in the background while the 10 defenders at Veloka have you scared lol And the member of “Fist” who was so tired that she had to sit down and break out the kite. Just a class move all around.

YES! It’s time for the weekly post from Jay as he regales us of the woes of facing larger servers. His effective use of prose and literary wit never ceases to capture my attention and leaves me begging for more of his posts on the injustices of WvW. Truly we shall not see such sublime commentary from others as we do from our dear friend Jay. It is such a pleasure to read your travails against the monolithic horde of Fort Aspenwood. Please, oh please keep us further informed of your travels dear Jay.

Why do you think this would discourage zerging? People will not want to die so they group tighter to avoid being spiked down by AoE and zealous thieves. Thus more zerging. Then the zerg will just overrun the smaller zergs causing them to have to respawn and run all the way back. What about 5-man teams? If one of them goes down it can throw a comp out of wack. Now they either have to die to respawn or run away from the fight instead of finishing off the remaining enemy and rezzing up their teammate.

Downstate doesnt belong in pvp or wvw

Guys, I am talking about DEFEATED STATE which is this:

http://bluescreenofawesome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/GuildWars2-Death.png

Not DOWNED STATE which is this:

http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/T9NMgKOlWrU/maxresdefault.jpg

Please know the difference!!!

scerevisiae.1972:

this already happens now. at least if you couldn’t combat-rez defeated players, then a 5-man group who managed to kill a few zergers would have more of a chance versus greater numbers instead of what happens now, which is a few stragglers stay behind to rez the fallen while the rest of zerg surges forward ad infinitum.

This guy get it. Seriously, people please read. We’re talking about DEFEATED STATE not DOWNED STATE.

I was talking about defeated state. Stop yelling. Why punish people in a 5-man group that get unlucky? Nothing you have suggested would make this game any better. It would make what you wish to stop, which is zerging, to be even more prevalent as the risk of death decreases greatly with the more people you run.
