Guild Wars 2

Do our pets with their interrupts (i.e. canine knockdown, wolf fear, the rest of those) proc any On Interrupt traits/runes such as Moment of Clarity/Perplexity?

I was hoping to create a lockdown ranger build (as much as a ranger can do such), and this would certainly be a important factor.

Just a quick question; thanks in advance!

Hiya, this was really helpful! I’m not very good with Shatter, but now I’ll certainly have to look back into it again after reading this. Much appreciated

Just a bit ago, on FC’s bl, a clash of epic proportions commenced. I, your reporter, fil, covered the event in all its massive scope.

At approximately 7:20pm server time, the two enemy generals marched forth to wish the other the best of luck. They returned to their respective army untouched. From this time, they began to initiate their tribal dances; an Os member appeared to be severely inebriated, as he toppled over and rolled down the hill, disregarded by his frenzied comrades. With the dances having ceased, the fight was soon to begin. Tactfully, the WZ commander strove to swiftly take the high ground and from there to batter through the enemy’s back line. Os pulled back a slight bit, but then surged forth with vigor and might head-on into the onslaught. Many casualties resulted, included the death of Os Guild’s beloved mascot, Toto the dog. After many such forward assaults and tactical retreats, the battle was concluded. The survivors decided that all is vain and instead partook of tea thereafter.

Just kidding they ran into each other and it was pretty.

Even though I too died, I made friends with my murderer. That’s called looking on the bright side

Ah, yes, young padawan, much to learn have you. The Force you must use in order to tame the great bear. If fails this does, much woe to you, but hope you must not not lose.
Recommend Pew Pew I do not, for Storm Troopers miss with theirs always, and evil they are. Join not the Dark Side!

Instead, seek your own path you must. Yes, one day in /m it will be said, “Wish we do that we had assisted the mighty Bear Bow!”

Hi:

We don’t condone cheating, but how exactly do you know he wasn’t hiding in there already? Not sure where you show the actual part where that person does something wrong…

Someone stood in a tower until it got reinforced walls to port people in?

I kid with one of the Ash mesmers about how we left her in Bay one time for 4 hours….and never showed up to take the port…so yeah.

I can confirm; similar things have happened to me before

After about an hour of waiting one time, I alt+tab’d. When I came back, I was dead.
(At that point, it was sort of a relief!)

Also, I’ve had plenty of fun this week on fc’s bl! There always seems to be something going on in each of the borderlands this week, so I couldn’t really ask for more

Shiny.7429:

We spy some GoM trying to ruin our x-mas party in AR-LA sadly he was repping a guild we know didnt belong here.
Merry Christmas to yall best of luck with the matchup

I found that picture way too entertaining for how terribly drawn it is

Anyway, I’d like to say Merry Christmas to all (in particular Jyuan and his friends)! May your presents—both given and received—have been filled with items that bring joy to you and those you care about.

This quote seems appropriate for the impending end of these match-up threads atm:
“This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.” (T.S. Eliot – The Hollow Men)

This thread’s dragging! So here’re some random pictures of stomping people as a doll (sorry for those who were casualties of the rampage, and shame on those who killed me—especially that mesmer, you know who you are!):

Well, the fights were fun! Thanks to all who joined in.
I apologize for lagging toward the end; it appears the internet decided it was done for the night.. Anyway, lots of fun duels! It’s hard being a ranger, especially with so many well-skilled, capable players around
I made a couple of new friends, which happens every time (probably the best part).

Btw, this ele, whoever you are, lay off the chili peppers, geez. How am I supposed to duel you when I’m laughing at the continuous conflagration spewing from your mouth?

Hey guys, same as last week, we’ll try to have a Fight Club at 5pm server time (3 hours from now). If you can come, please do! I haven’t had any duels for a decent while, but I’ll be there. Also, I’m a bit sick, so when I inevitably do something stupid, you’ll get to laugh at least

Moving on..
GoM’s definitely going to move up in the teirs now for sure! We were the first server to develop landsharks as of a few weeks ago, and now we’re moving on to greater things. I present to you GoM’s new X-Ray vision. We know when you are sleeping; we know when you’re awake. We know if you’ve been bad or good, so be good for this forum’s sake!

Also, a quote from the astute developers behind this technology:
“All your base are belong to us.”

titanlectro.5029:

Welp, this will be one of our last match-up threads.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Upcoming-Forum-Changes-to-WvW-Match-ups-Sub-forum/first#post3393146

I came here to post something entertaining, but now I really don’t feel like it…

Obviously I want Anet to reconsider, but it seems like a sealed deal to me. Please, please don’t tear down my little home on these forums!

We’re going to have an alternative for this, right? I’ve read these posts every week since I found out they existed! I think I might not cry only if someone presents a promising solution…

EDIT: Thanks Belle! Maybe I’ll survive this tragedy now. Also, I’ve yet to be infracted. Any guidelines on doing such in particular? Seeing as I’m terrible at trash-talking (I end up saying big words that people don’t know, which inevitably brings the quarrel to an immediate halt), I’d like another way to do so before these forums are disposed of. Thanks for your time

skyhawk.5149:

Is it just me? Or does Toa only have fun fighting ET. Anyhow been an interesting looking at the scores I haven’t played much WvW these past 2 weeks ;_;. Don’t worry tho guys soon u’ll see a D/D ele running around trying to figure out a legit dueling build. (Tips appreciated)

Oh, wow, I hadn’t noticed those exclusively featured ET… I love DR too! Honest!
I’ll get a picture for DR too, just wait

About your ele issue… I personally can’t help you, but I have met a few exceptional d/d eles; there is hope.

Btw, just “fil” is fine for an address

Ugh, we need more posts! I don’t have too much to say, so in the spirit of giving I’ll just add a few pictures of the more memorable WvW events (for me) this week

1. Someone building an AC just to take me out of OW (sorry for killing you then portaling back up; you made me do it.)
2. GoM vs a monstrous zerg one night (good fight!)
3. I temporarily became a rock-hard Superman via a Super Fun Box (actual ability to fly not included.)
4. Finally, ASH vs DI (you guys are a ton of fun to fight, keep it up!)

Hope these provided some entertainment for you.

Hey, Geckat, I believe this should shed some light on its meaning… to your disappointment

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riley_Martin

“O kwa tanzin wan” seems to be simply a reference to Riley Martin’s fact/fictional Biaviian alien comrade O-Qua Tangin Wann. Qua Omsa Lagee Wann is also another alien, if I remember correctly. I’m not sure if the writer meant it to be more than this, but atm it appears to be a well-disguised joke about the inspiration behind Asura.
I hope this helps, and good luck with the language!

Sorry, I just have to salute this brave up-level warrior for his valiant sacrifice.

May your heroic deed not be forgotten! May your spirit live on through all warriors throughout the ages! May your tale be sung about campfires as long as the fiery stars rise and dark night covers the land!

(Also, sorry you couldn’t res him all the way.)

titanlectro.5029:

So… should we just keep using this thread?

Sure! Why not?
Personally, I’d be honored if we just stuck with this one

Btw, I just saw 2 match-up threads closed due to condescending remarks. Thus, may we endeavor to keep the discussion lively but clement this week.
Much appreciated

Ok, so this isn’t really related to the match-up, but this thread’s been slow thus far, so Imma post this. If you’ve played even a decent bit of sPvP, you’ll find this extremely entertaining and well worth the minute to read:

Reminder!!!

Fight Night Thursday night at 5pm server time in Obsidian Sanctum!

Yep! Just a friendly reminder that the fights shall hopefully commence an hour from now.

Well, my guild is/was having fun on ET’s bl, and I got a bit carried away.. as usual..

You could call it casual WvW at its finest. I believe I went through over 200 blueprints; by the end of it, my arms were so sore that they were stuck holding imaginary siege..

Thanks to everyone who played along, didn’t yell at me, and made it generally enjoyable

A mention of SO in pic 3

<3

Haha, correct! He was telling me about how SO was beating up some guild that he was also terrorizing, I believe, in case you were wondering

Stuff I said concerning the picture.

lol fil u like that spot i showed u :P front row seats

Absolutely! Guilt as charged

irishhaf.1692:

an adjustment to my last statement… some members of GoM are certainly behaving without any class, the majority are still good people.

Yep, it’s definitely not fair to categorize a whole server, as you know… but, in your defense, I’ve certainly observed some less-than-genteel members on GoM too. Thanks for your reconsideration

These forums need to be more interesting..

Anyway, ’twas fun skirmishing with DR on our bl!
I personally saw a lot of good play from some of their individual players

Also, their zerg’s attempt to dislodge us from our shelter gave me a few laughs:

How much Chuck could a Chuck chuck chuck if a Chuck chuck could chuck Chuck Norris?

Ok guys! Week 2 of our match-up! I hope everyone enjoys it as much or more than the previous week

Fight Night Thursday night at 5pm server time in Obsidian Sanctum!

So there happened to be a slight scuffle in the new dueling area: 3 GoM and 2 HoD guys got into the equivalent of a Guild Wars 2 bar-fight, in which everyone won simultaneously!
Or lost, for that matter..

SrxLiz.3175:

On a more lighter note…

To the 2 FC and the GoM at the new sanctum, thanks for the fun fights and good laughs!!
Cant wait to see some epic GvGs and duels in here (:

Yea, ‘twas a great first experience for me in the arena! This is exactly what duels and GvG needed, and I couldn’t be happier with it. There’s no bloodlust, no taking up map population (as if that matters down here), and no interference from zergs.

Thanks, Anet!

Bllade.1029:

Easterbunny.6170:

So heres the TL;DR version of this thread:

FC: Bla Bla Bla we are talking kitten attacking GOM and hiding from HoD

HoD: We have 4X your numbers, at least GOM but you keep bringing us a fight so we will keep zerging your BL because at least theres a tiny nugget of something almost resembling a challenge in it. /Lolicon /Video of us Zerging

GOM: /Eyeroll. /Troll also /Eyeroll.

I can shorten that up even more:

FC: Waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

HoD: Keep it up

GoM: Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I believe this video adequately covers all the chest-thumping, exaggerations, whining, sprinkles of comradery, and everything else under the sun in this thread:

We’ve got a good number of people behind FC Windmill if anyone wants to try out their latest build.

As he said, impromptu fights at FC’s windmill!

doublebb.6574:

thhoj.9382:

Just wondering if anyone wants to have fight night(s) and when. I personally don’t mind what day it is. I would prefer the times to be at around 12am pst so I don’t lag, but that’s just me. So if you want to participate then just say when and where you want it to

Fight Club:
1. 7pm eastern time
2. Wednesday Night
3. GoM’s bl behind the windmill

That good?

Sounds fine to me! I’ll try to make it if I can.
Hope it goes well

Brick Tamland.6507:

thhoj.9382:

So does anyone want to have a fight night tomorrow a couple hours after reset at gom bl southern windmill?

I’ll be there

Heya, Merc asked for fight night to be such earlier:
“Reminder: Fightclub Thursday 9pm EST HoD BL (Yes, we’ll be nice and make the run)”
That’s 6pm server time, one hour after reset I believe. So if you can make it, come out! If we want to have two separate fight nights for whichever reason, that’s certainly fine too

On a completely unrelated note, I LOVE this new spinny heal! This was in the Cat Room in the bl jp btw:

JamboHammer.4397:

ill gladly duel u if u wanna talk kitten and ill crush u. cuz necros are pretty simple if there not cheese running perplex and even with perplex necros have very little stun and daze so it would be pretty useless and just the fact that u didnt beat him shows u have no right to even call me out little man when u grow a pair let me know cuz ill sit u down on my mes war and thief funny part of ur post is i never died to a shatter mes so i probs killed u alot this week cuz i did fight alot of shatter mesmers

I don’t really see a need to rag on his writing…
In all honesty, I find it pretty awesome that he can write a completely coherent paragraph without punctuation!
As long as one can understand what’s written, there’s no acceptable reason to insult the author’s grammar. Let’s try to be a bit more understanding here please!
Thanks

Mercabre.7123:

Reminder: Fightclub Thursday 9pm EST HoD BL (Yes, we’ll be nice and make the run)

Oh hey, sounds like a plan to me! That’ll be 6 pm server time, I believe, to keep it simple for those unsure.
I’ll try my best to make it, and I hope it has a good turn out

I’d just like to say reset night for me was a blast. Thanks to all who made it interesting, and especially those who made me laugh!

So in celebration, here’s a brief summary of the happenings:

Yea, it actually happened, thanks especially to [OBEY] and Afflictionate who got it started! Too bad I didn’t have much time to duel, but it was certainly a great experience as always

On a side note, I tried to res Mr Raccoon, but alas, to no avail.

Devon.9061:

that raccoon… is taller than you….

Small in stature, but big in spirit!
On a more somber note though, RIP Mr Raccoon (2013-2013). I didn’t mean to press 1…

Ah, well, not much of a turnout to the duels.. I checked the other bls too.
I’m not really surprised, but I do wish we’d have an advertised one at least!

I’m fine though, Mr Raccoon kept me company for a bit

Voonith.2561:

Duelers really should stick to the PvP dueling maps and not waste queue in WvW.

Yea, I think Anet agrees with you too. But WvW’s dueling is actually very split from sPvP dueling. For example, sPvP has one amulet for all your stats with not every type available, while WvW allows you more customization. In addition, not everyone knows how to use sPvP. This kinda leads into the last point that people in WvW are looking to not only duel, but to meet people! This is especially true for me. In HotM, you don’t really know which server someone’s from, or if they’re even in your league (note: not skill related!).

Resultantly, WvW duels allow people to meet others who like to duel and whom they will see out in WvW.
Finally, it’s WAY easier to organize large dueling groups pertaining to particular servers in WvW itself.

I hope that apology is at least a bit convincing, and thanks for reading!

ToaLux.6478:

Heya, just wondering if we were having fight night tomorrow. I REALLY miss it!
If we do have one, I’ll try my best to make it
Thanks!

Haven’t been to a fight club in AGES. I’ll definitely be behind GoM’s windmill tomorrow. Hopefully others will do the same, yes?

I would like for there to be a fight club as well. Been a while since I have last seen one so I will definitely try to make it.

Ok! It seems like there’s a decent bit of support for it! So how about tomorrow right after the daily reset at GoM’s windmill?
Objections?

I’ll try my best to make it if at all possible

Heya, just wondering if we were having fight night tomorrow. I REALLY miss it!
If we do have one, I’ll try my best to make it
Thanks!

Geez, I can’t believe I’m missing this week. Why do I always miss the best matchups!
Well, regardless, hello to FC and Dh! You guys are always a ton of fun, particularly more than a few of you from FC (Bobo, Moobs, Ynot, Jesse, and company)
I hope the week ends just as well as it’s been going thus far, and best of luck to all three servers!

I’ve hardly ever gotten anything of note from WvW, but with just 50% mf I actually got an ascended chav ring from a rank-up chest (maybe rank 67?). My jaw was nearly on the floor, especially because that was the exact ring I wanted! As to how much that was affected by mf, I really don’t have a clue; but least we know it’s possible

Just wanted to say thanks for all the fun these NSP gave me from trying to force me out of Klovan! It was super fun, and I must say that you guys definitely got smarter each time I ported back into the tower!

clint.5681:

Alright i did, i finally did it kittenmit. Check out this post and know why SF is better than your servers.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/recruitment/Join-SF-Become-300-Hotter-instantly

So I’m not exactly sure what was going on while I was reading it, but I do know I laughed at least 4 times
Great job with it!

Also, to the SF and DR on DR’s bl that didn’t try to eat me as I wandered around, it was much appreciated. Oh, and to the SF thief that intrepidly dared to literally walk (with a fearsome gait of course) into a gaggle of DR with me: I value your bravery, and I do hope you lived to speak of it

Fight Night was fun as always! WAR made it extra interesting too as shown above.
I just wanted to say great duels to those I fought last night, as well as thanks to FURY for the 8v8

Nordic Natedog.4360:

I have to give some props to the WZ char mes commander. You certainly are an annoying bunker mes. I was the asuran pistol thief with Obon tag following in SM (and just outside there) yesterday. My primary is a mesmer too, so I didn’t have that much trouble following you. I’ve been running my newly leveled thief lately since it is fun to do the whole gunslinger thing while giving me a break from mes. Still have to give you the props for being extremely annoying to us GoM.

Yep, that’s Bobo. He’s a definitely one of the best mesmers I know, if not the best
He also has a youtube channel which is well worth a quick look!

Oh, wow Rob! I didn’t know you were going to post that!
Anyway, ’twas nice to meet you, and I hope to see again in WvW

I’ve never posted on the forums before, but now’s as good a time as any I suppose

I knew that Asuran looked familiar. I’ve seen you a bunch as well. I think you 2v2d myself and another necro.

I remember that! You were also the necro that desructonated me on mesmer multiple times, right? The 2v2s were fun; but honestly I’m surprised Dae and I mananged to win one, if I do in fact remember correctly
