Guild Wars 2

If your server always has a queue or maybe your in a small guild of friends that do not receive recognition for your deeds in WvW feel free to come to Dragondbrand, We are here to stay and want to tell all other servers that you may walk on us now but once our wvw numbers increase it wont be so easy.

Dragondbrand Motto; Oh kitten out manned again. Keep Fighting!

For the past 3-4 Weeks we have been out manned 90% of the time 24/7, We are very tactful and work on strategies daily however we are so out manned it does no good. We have a 10k man alliance mumble and WvW alliance site. We are in the lower brackets and dropping more because of our lack of WvW players. We never have a queue time except at match reset and then only a minute or two max. I think it is because everyone is trying to get in at the same time. I don’t care if your a WvW veteran or brand new to WvW. We can show you the ropes and help you out, We just need people. No matter what times you play day or night, We have allot of heart and never give up no matter how bad the fight is. We need allot of people it seems we are always out numbers 8 to 1 or worse.

Move to Dragonbrand We have a great group but are small in numbers. We are more active from 3pm or 4om -2am or 3 am cst. However still out manned 90% of the time.

I would like to see something like vine fences or something to act as mini walls around supply camps.

This would not be good I have friends and guildies from all over the world people that have been in my guild since early gw1 days. This would make it where we can not run with each other.

He is on Fa and Im on DB I feel his pain TC seems to out man us on every map 10 to 1. and FA is in the same boat. Im not jumping ship this is a major problem that should have been fixed a month or more ago. Being completely outmaned like this does away with any tactics and strategy that wvw is suppose to be, and unless we get a massive influx of people no matter how good you and your server is you cant over come that much of a handicap.

I know Anet has reasons for not showing names, However last night I ran into another thief we went 1v1 and neither of us went stealth but we matched up perfectly so perfectly we downed each other at the same time and his final dagger hit me only a millisecond or two before mine hit him but his hit first so he rallied. We both right click report to get name and pm each other saying great fight. It is times like this I wish i could see the names not the times I get owned. I could careless someone cathing me from invis or just 1 shotting me I prefer the good close fights.

Happened a few times this match up first it was a group of sos then the next day a couple maguuma.

I Don’t believe you straight up. At some point maybe but you can no longer get into the area where the NPCs are except for maybe in the main center borderland, the other 2 on borderlands will kick you out. They didn’t for a while, but now they do.

Since you dont believe me and anet locked my post here is screen shot of it again.

Actually most of the time when I hear it or even see it the opposing team has 10+ people at all three exits of the spawn waiting for people. Or like the thread i started yesterday they exploit/glich/hack what ever and actually have a group in the spawn standing near the way-point and vendors. Yesterday SoS had close to 20 people in DB spawn I took Screen Shots of them killing auctioneer guild banker karma merchants and crafting npcs. <DB BL> I dont know how they got in there they just appeared on the way-point and went to work. I applaud them for the damage they did before the Gaurds finally killed them all. However funny it was it should not have happened and none of the npcs works after that until after the servers when down for maint. It made most people irate but Im one to laugh and carry on.

yes it does and actualy unfinnish builds despawn in about 15 and can despawn while building. I placed an arrow cart down put ten supply on it then rand to closest supply camp grabbed supplies built on it again then went to go to the closest again but supply camp was under attack by alot so I ran to the next closest. When I got back i started putting the final 10 supplies into it and had placed 4 on it when the build site dissapeared. From the time I placed it to the time it dissapeared was around 16 and a half minutes, I know because I was streaming game play and went back to review and time it. I am tired of placing 10-20 siege pieces on an important hold for them to dissapear. The timer should be 12 hour min and or despawn when player logs out.

Dragonbrand needs more wvw players in general but mainly from 2am est- 8am est. could also use more from noon-4 est.

This morning we had several SoS visitors inside of our spawn camping us legendary defenders useless dont believe me. Check screen shot i would report them but we cant click on them all we can do is aoe damage to them there were groups ranging in size from 5-15 and been hitting past 20 minutes or so. I hope these guys feel the ban hammer.

First and foremost WvW is a team fight not 1v1, and all classes have counters to all the other classes you just might not be specked for it. I play a thief but i do not stealth except my heal skill and thats only because it heals for the most out of all of my heals. I fear no class because I know how to play my thief and I have it specked 5 ways… well i use 5 specks and I change as needed. I have to say you just have to learn other classes as well as your own know their strengths weeknesses their skill cds, ranges and cast times. I hear several complaint in game about mesmers and their clones granted portal bombs cant be stopped but the clone thing is simple take a second and look at the mes and clones does one have the green arrow or star by their name, how are they moving. Clones will never move away from you and will only move if your out of their range, The clones also will not have that explorer star or the green arrow. I will say I do have dificulties not with classes but players who know their class and know mine. i.e dagger storm only flies out about stomach to chest level so running away up or down ramps stairs slopes will cause you not to be hit. Aoes and Fear effects still happen when invis and so does that buble a gaurdian can place on a location.

Ruggy I love this idea and its funny because me and some friend were talking about this in vent the other day. we talked about arrow cart sylvari that poisoned or had vines on the arrows to pull enemies closer, asurans arrow carts shot mini golems that hit their targets and chased anyone hit hitting them a few more times. asuran trebs that shot large golems that would land and do that spin thing, Norm trebs shot ice that cripples foes or show that slows them. Upgrading to sylvari vine walls that added 5 seed turrets to each wall Charr spike gated that wouldnt allow people to use ram or melee doors with out taking out spikes first. the towers and keeps are already to human. There are so many ways you can go here it would just put wvw over the top.

Dang I didnt expect this thread to get so many responces or requests for me to do more work, lol. But I think with the replies you can see why this needed to be made and also see some others that needed to be added. and yes the Thief invis was not ment as nerf it was suppose to be rendering. I do hope anet is reading this thread and working on all the issues mentioned in here or at the very least give us a responce to let us know they know these issues exsist and are working on them.

While I quite enjoyed the battle at DB Garrison today, (40+ kills from flinging people off cliffs is beyond enjoyable :P) I wasn’t impressed to find out the rumors that Maguuma and SoS are double-teaming DB are true. Though I accept that any tactic is a valid tactic, and will accept defeat as graciously as possible, I’ve certainly lost a lot of respect for both of them.

Good luck in your next matches.

I have to aggree after today when maguuma and SoS were attacking garrison at the same time from differant sides. attacks started same time and both pulled back at the same time. Then only an hour or two later to see them do the same at the hills and watch SoS break into the north gate and inner then leave without killing keep lord and watch maguuma go into the gates SoS just broke open to claim it. It did seem like they allied However it could possibly been for those two attacks. It just sucks durring both attacks we had the useless outmanned buff.

i love downed state yes at times it is useless because so many are on you you just die instantly but i know many times I have done alot of aoe then just run in swinging to get downed and rally almost instantly because a team mate killed someone I hit with aoe. In fact one night with some friends we were on vent and wanted to see how many times i could get downed and rally before just dieing from downed sickness. with coms up we would focus target people 1 by one after I aoed a group. the magic number was 6. This was with noone healing me once downed and no we were not working with the group of maguuma we found. so for those hating downed state try aoeing a group right before being downed. I can almost always rally at least once. It is also a great asset when guarding a keep or tower to be downed on the wall and have someone get you up quickle.

However I think we need a 5th downed skill for all classes “call for help” or “hey over here” that forces closest friendly to target you. yes this would be annoying for some but its just as annoying to be downed near the back of a group with 6-12 people near you and they go right by you.

It is a Zergfest server I should post the many video of 30-70+ SoS forming zerg and just hitting everyplace on the map then moving to next map. Unfortunately when they meet any defense it does slow them down a lot and they set up several siege within seconds just to be pushed back to it and it get destroyed. but yes SoS is zergfest.

the top 15 are not in any order it is just the top 15 ones but yeah when I get the chance I will post the raw counts. and Number 10 was posted many times however it was never on the op first post it was always a suggestion made later in the post. Usually when some server said another made an alliance or was trying to.

A friend of mine and myself have read nearly every wvw forum post and compiled a list of top requested changes for WvW.

1) STOP free server transfers
2) Numbers Balancing
3) Class Balancing i.e nerf mes portals and thieves invis <main two requested
4) Swap orb and out manned buffs or adjust them
5) Make defending keeps and towers more worth doing with rewards or something.
5* give the person that made any upgrade to the hold some credit any time it is successfully guarded and extra if they helped defend it. Give loot to those who placed siege when their siege weapon has killed a player. < two good ideas.
6) Implement Team Voice chat in game.
7) Make Defenses cheaper or offensive siege more expensive.
8)Change the Report Player ui to allow report hack, exploiting, cheat, leaching (standing in spawn 2-4hrs not leaving just taking up a spot in queue).
9) Fix vanishing siege equipment.
10) Implement Friend Foe feature so you can ally with other servers.
11) wvw karma armor stats, Give us more choices on what stats we want not just toughness vit.
12) walls and doors can only be taken out by siege equipment
13) Raid Set up and window. Allow us to form 20 man raids and set it as 4 five man parties.
14) Add supply depot in spawn points.
15) Workers Repair Walls.

Ok after going as far back as my friend and I could reading forums these were the top 15 request. yes there were many many more but these i would think with everyone requesting they should fix first.

They need to at the very least add rewards for defending and building defenses. More people want things just given to them I personally dont care you will see me in wvw whether we are winning or loosing trying my best. Anet does need to do something about balancing wvw numbers it is ridiculous 10v 100+ no matter how good you are you cant stand up to that many trust me. i personally killed 5-8 on my own but there are so many they just rez others as soon as you kill them.

Just do aways with the transfers it is ruining the wvw aspect of the game. which for most is one of the most important aspects of the game.

I am on dragonbrand no I am not here to QQ but this morning we have 5 people in maguuma bl 10 in SoS bl and all other maps are about the same. We do not have out manned buff yet we are being camped in all of our spawn points on every map by sos 30-40 at spawn and when I was able to sneak by I noticed they had 2-5 in every tower, keep, and SM. Maguuma players are nowhere to be seen went to their spawn to find about 20 more SoS camping there Spawn. this is ridiculous. No one map should ever out number both other maps this bad, and it has been pretty close to this since the start.

Anet needs to get rid of the Out-manned buff and implement numbers balancing, yes this adds queues several servers already wait 3-6hrs to join. However i dont think it should be balanced all the way down to 1/1/1, but the difference from smallest server and largest should be no more than 20 or 30 per map. yes many will say no they dont want this well but here are 5 reasons why this is better than now.

1. The skill of the servers and players on that server will show better.
2. No more win by forfeit,
3. no more camping spawns instead of actually playing wvw the way it was intended.
4. Most of these server transfers would stop.
5. less overall complaints on forums. only complaint would be queue complaints.

I have seen my server go 5 v. 15 toe to toe no siege and win but when its 50 or 200 v 20 there is no chance no matter how good you are. I am not just posting this for DB but i have had talks with some on maguuma , yaks, GoM and other servers.

Dragonbrand needs people in general it suck seeing the out manned buff on us 75% of the time every match up. I hope they shut off free xfers soon I hate seeing guild tags from servers we just faced the previous week in the servers we face the following week.

I want to say one Name in this bunch I know would never modify the game. However there are 3 names in the bunch that i personally reported all 3 with screen shots I have posted and 2 with videos in other thread. Before crying poor me and submit a ticket look back and think if you exploited in some way and also remember anet are humans humans make mistakes. If your innocent all will be right if not… your screwed.
