Guild Wars 2

Astus.3508:

Thank you to all who organized the FC event – that was the most fun I’ve had all week. I have a lot of respect for the leaders and players of Kaineng for organizing something like that. It was a great way to lighten things up and clear the air after a week of fighting. Everyone there showed a lot of class and it was awesome stuff. It’s a shame that some people saw it as an opportunity to jump the enemy and ruin the one thing this week that brought the community together and participate in some fair, good-hearted fights.

On another note, I’m not exactly sure what lead to the large group of AR attacking your side, but considering that all of us there (Kaineng and AR alike) were having a good time and not taking objectives or killing eachother, I don’t understand why you guys were the target of something seemingly provoked elsewhere on the map. Again, I don’t know who started what, but it felt like that was a db move on AR’s part. I generally don’t like to speak for a group of people such as the guild I’m in, but we were pretty disappointed and angry with the crew that attacked you. That is why we sat down in line and did not participate in the fight.

Also, I was the staff sylvari mesmer who pretty much forgot to bow after every fight. That wasn’t out of disrespect by any means, but instead because of forgetfulness and/or trying to get far away so that my clones would disappear without having to shatter. Sorrry bout that.

+1 from the only nsp player there!

15 wins and 1 draw due to time limit tonight giggity.

Made a lot of friends! I think fight clubs are healthy and wonderful and should be had by all!

It is time to…

Most WvW guilds are much larger due to the zerg dynamic. Os Guild has a camp flipping group, but other than that, most things must be done en mass in WvW.

:)

Hi! I’m Tele!
I am a WvW officer in the 6 year old guild Os. We are a bunch of fun WvW playing trolls who sit on vent all day and kill lots of people. We aren’t too hardcore (no yelling and hitlering or anything) but we do try to keep a tight grip on WvW. (Did I say WvW enough? Because we are a wvw prime time guild. We do PVE a lot too, but we loves us some bloodshed every night)

We are mostly est time-zoned. We have a lovely schedule which involves pvp prime time at 7-9pm est every night and 6:30- whenever on Tuesdays (Practice for reset) and Fridays (Actual reset). When I read about your want for events I figured you might want to try us on for size. We have guild meetings, have a balth event on sundays and have wvw events all the time. We also dabble in spvp (I have never lost a 1v1 in the mists. Bunker ele’s goooo!)

We have a forum and a website (Osguild.us) that we have all our members sign up on to get news and updates. The website has not been updated for a while due to our guild making and running the official shiverpeaks.com server website. We have someone working on it recently though! We also require people to be on Ventrilo during organized pvp. (wvw)

We have quite a few new and leveling members and have no qualms about helping people level up and get to know the game better. (I, personally am an elementalist class lead and actually have seminars on my build and class and gear and stuff)
We do not allow multi-guilding because we are a community and do not believe in chasing people around to represent when they are being lazy.

We do have a 25s tax per week. It helps weed out players who are not serious about this game or this guild (It takes like a whole kitten half an hour in wvw to make that) and also benefits the plans we have for the future. We are currently saving member tax for a guild hall, but if the guild halls require only influence then we use it to benefit our wvw endeavors and buy siege and upgrade with it. (50 omega golems. It’s gonna happen)

Although our server is going through some rough times, (We have been stuck with very large transfer servers for about 3 weeks now) we have been on this server since the beginning and own the official server forums. (Shiverpeaks.com) We are working on building a better Shiverpeaks and have council meetings among what guildmasters are left on our servers to organize and rebuild what people who have transferred off have left. So far we have been doing good and staying in tier 5/6 pretty consistently.

Figured I would shoot you a message to see if you are interested. We are fun trolls, very social beings.

Please feel free to send me a message in game on “I Am Harmless”.
Cheers!

Thieves were nerfed; ele’s were buffed.

Jump on the bandwagon now!

They nerf the ele to the bare bones right before release then again a month later. They only recently buff them (a tiny bit).

I play both classes.

There is only 1 thief who has ever beaten me on my ele and it was most certainly through a poor mistake of my own.

On my thief, it really is a toss up of what build the other player has (as plates really) and where we are.

I can say with certainty that a well played ele is MUCH more powerful than a well played thief, whereas a poorly played thief is much more powerful than a poorly played ele.

Strang.8170:

Fotm.
Be happy that bad ele is free points where bad thief could still kill you if someone else had forced you to burn your cooldowns.

They´ll find another class soon enough.

On a side note, thief and d/d ele are “better” professions only in smallscale.

Not necessarily. elementalists are amazing for wvw in general. Although it takes skill to switch weapons, when used correctly Ele’s can protect siege, kill siege, break zergs, heal, tank, dps, and cc all very proficiently.

Very versatile, while thief is just mainly killing people.

Also, I enjoy your name. Don’t know if it is related, but I collect old Dr. Strange comic books.

I’m a huge Marvel nerd.

Thieves were nerfed; ele’s were buffed.

Jump on the bandwagon now!

Solid proof Commanders on GoM might be made of troll food.

Boo hoo.

Cheers to NSP trying to take Sunny today on DB BL. I came in just as we were attacking your 3 trebs. What I want to know, is how you managed to get 300 supply up the hill for the 3 trebs with only about 15 people? On DB sometimes we have trouble building 2 rams with 20 people in our group.

Pure unadulterated. Yelling at noobs, that’s how.

Gets it done right. (Sometimes)

Toble.2968:

I am almost positive I know what is being said.

“I fought a ranger, when he started Rapid Fire before I was invisible it continued to hit me very hard even after I went invisible.”

Rapid fire is a single skill. When it lands, it lands.

So unless you use evade, it will not stop hitting you when invisible.

I actually like rapid fire. It is a perfect indication for when to use my “reflect projectile” ability if I’m using a shield.

As an engineer, I will say that a long-range 1v1 glass cannon duel between a grenadier and a ranger comes out pretty even. I will also say that ranger pets are really annoying when trying to select targets, and their AoE has a huge kitten range.

But am I ever afraid of a ranger? No, not really. In fact I will purposefully go at them as a glass cannon because I know if they out-damage me (and they can out-damage me if they’re evasive), then I know I can still get away before they down me. Still, 1500 range battles can be fun.

Of course the flip side of this is the ranger can just as easily escape from me, assuming they aren’t asleep at the keyboard. c’est la vie.

I’m just translating.

I know rangers are the weakest class.

Wintuo.1356:

Hires a couple of chimps for toble and trains them to sling “mud” at Toble till he gets his fill of mudslinging then we can all hang out after we let him have about 20 showers to remove the “mud”.

Did… did you just get roleplay all over me?

One second, I have to go get my robe and wizard hat.

Toble’s not a he.

You die to a woman every time. lol a little.

I find Bunzy talking about thieves hilarious. (Or anyone for that matter)

I have both a DD ele and a glass cannon thief.

I kill DD eles on my thief. I kill thieves on my DD ele.

Therefore, this must be a question of skill. Hmm Bunzy?

Greens Daily Ritual.9025:

Wintuo.1356:

Lets see I havent posted on a forum for any of the matchups this same group has had, but I have read through them and held my tongue(fingers). The double team issue is a non-factor, the mudslinging, that I consider a factor……

Refreshing to see someone else gets it. Thank you for an on topic, friendly, civil and contributing post. I wish they were all like this.

I DISAGREE!

Sling dat mud.

Sling it!

Bunzy.

How many knock down skills do you have. 2?

How many dots do you have? Gazillion?

Thieves are nothing, You’ll get over it for a week then complain about something else.

Rapid fire is a single skill. When it lands, it lands.

OS Should come clean out all of their dead members from Langors.

It’s okay. We had 440 points and all of darkhaven’s side in EB before that.

We are satisfied with keeping it as long as we did and moving up into second.

BTW, you just bragged that a server that doesn’t have ques and has outmanned buffs on every borderland if Os isn’t on one of them, was able to push all the way down into your territory, take all your towers and your keep while retaining their own against dragonbrand, go into your borderlands and take half of that map. God forbid your commanders sign on and take things back with the three massive and organized guilds on your server that each field 3 times the amount of people our guild can.

Oh god, we are so bad guys.

I say once again, we don’t belong in this bracket, somehow we still are.

I wasn’t bragging, your ‘Commander’ was, and obviously, it didn’t work out too well for him.

We kind of have a right to brag considering the situation. We are doing kitten good considering what we are up against. The only reason we got into this bracket in the first place is SF PVE quit during the lost shores event and we gained so many points by having the entirety of all four maps because they were too busy pveing.

With the numbers we have verses the numbers DH has and the night numbers advantage DB has, I’d say we are doing all right. We’ve kept the points so close every week that we consider it a win. It really is though with some of the rofl things I have seen going on.

NSP Server, 30 minutes after reset, no que times.

Who’s crying?

Kelvingts.2035:

I think this is base on opinion, well some of it. DH being “experienced”? there are smart zergs with commanders who avoided taking SM from nsp so they could spend most their time taking db towers during Prime. Then there are dumb DH zergs who runs in to SC with 3 minute buffs into a Db zerg just to get wipe and mainly killed/down by the vet.
Inexperience or experienced players/groups/zergs are gathered in all 3 servers.

DH has huge NA prime advantage so db players given up on fighting at that time, so they take everything in sight Or oceanic players are sleeping, ok PVD?
DB has huge oceanic prime advantage so dh players given up on fighting at that time, so they take everything in sight Or na prime players sleeping, ok PVD?
Nsp is the only server who rarely gets to pvd, they have a Na prime and a oceanic [2 hours later] prime but they’re smart enough to go after Db or Dh towers that are far enough away from Dh or Db, PVD occurs there too.

Pretty much all 3 servers have some type of pvd, inexperienced players, experienced players, etc etc, grass is always greener on the other side.
Db players will complain about Dh + nsp,
Dh players will complain about Db + nsp,
Nsp players will complain about Db + dh.
And ofc there are players who side with certain rival servers while disliking another.

Stop being disrespectful to all the hardwork all 3 servers dish out. It’s players like you flamers that actually make these things less respectful and less fun.

Real NSP players don’t complain, we just laugh. We know we are winning in a sense.

We shouldn’t still be in this bracket next week.

Darkhaven should have crushed us, DB should have crushed us. How we have this many points is just lol-worthy.

Fight club GO!

LOL It’s stupid we can even stay in this bracket.

Go NSP Fight club!

nalenb.1425:

Toble.2968:

Um… No.

Thank you NSP for pushing in behind DH from the camp, you saved are hills and are clearly double teaming with DH, despite the fact you just rolled in behind them and helped wipe them.

We are so double teaming.

Ah even better. Didn’t see NSP there at all. Anyways I thought it was a great battle. It’s so much fun to run across the map, get there just in time to try and help make a difference.

Maybe it was a different battle. Was funny as hell though last night, we bunkered down at the southern camp and pissed everyone off for a while!

XD then we took hills after DH weakened it and we wiped them out of there.

Now that is how you double team.

nalenb.1425:

BTW, last night’s clutch save by us (DB) at Hills on our borderland was great fun. They had the lord down but couldn’t quite cap before our reinforcements arrived. They (DH?) took down the outer wall and inner wall quickly with 3 catas before we could get help on the scene.

Um… No.

Thank you NSP for pushing in behind DH from the camp, you saved our hills and are clearly double teaming with DH, despite the fact you just rolled in behind them and helped wipe them.

We are so double teaming.

Lol, jerks.

Also, take a look at NSP’s stylin’ outmanned buff.

You have plenty. You’ll be okay. Rub some dirt into it.

Also, despite all “Fairness” NSP rarely ever has ques (Never during the week) and often has outmanned buffs. We don’t belong in this bracket, but somehow we still are. : *

I honestly don’t think DB nor DH should complain.

We are probably going to stay matched up next week, so get used to it.

Excuse me, 1 am for most of us (Os Guild lives on the east coast mainly.)

Not night capping. Good show.

Don’t listen to her,
Os is all night crew.
They ride on the shoulders of the irish champions.

Oh and, if you are in EB from 3am to 6am. Then you are facing me.
Prepare. Your. Bum-Holio

Are you the Os officer with the t3 cultural armor? I think Guardian? Human male who likes to to run in ahead of his zerg?

Lol, correction, Bird Song (Rob) Who isn’t the male guardian in t3 (That’s broxy, And he is a warrior) is our night crew.

He alone… Defenses the os castles!

Prepare yourself for Irish bar fighting.

Can’t talk. Glitching up both walls of Garrison in NSP borderlands because we tried only glitching up outer and got wiped in the lords room when only having to take inner gate.

Really? That’s fascinating.

I would love to hear more.

So would I. That’s a pretty serious accusation. Why not back it up with proof? Or do you not have any?

Don’t need to have any. You know what you did.

We aren’t worrying. Wall jumping will get fixed soon.

Unfortunately for you, they can’t fix bad.

NSP Is doing incredibly well for having all of 2-3 medium sized organized guilds. We have been fighting people like GOF and RE from Darkhaven, two massive guilds and the point difference this week is not enough to justify that we have the outmanned buff and never have ques.

We do just fine!

I love the people complaining about credit.

You know what you’ve done. That’s all that counts. Who cares?

Have a Happy Thanksgiving guys!

Don’t sleep through Friday’s reset!

Bye Bye!

I came here for wvwvw too. HOwever, now I must grind for weeks in dungeons to be competitive in wvwvw

If my sources are correct, you come from Aion. Also if my sources are even more correct, I am currently putting my tinfoil hat on to join you in your endeavors.

Welcome back Columba.

XD

Aion was a pretty good game until they seemly out of nowhere upped the level cap and added all new items (history repeating?). I quit a couple months after that when I come to my senses and realized I had been farming for 2 weeks to get mats for a bow I had a 1 in 256 chance of actually crafting. I was happy with all my 40 elite stuff and though I could just PvP in that forever. Oh well..

Tinfoil hats for everyone!

It was good pvp. But when it became a 3 month grind for gear and the 2 months of using the gear, rinse, repeat, that’s when it ended for me.

Yougottawanna.7420:

I mean the thing where if you’re fighting a server, and they’re blue on the map, it recolors their armor so that it’s blue, or green if they’re green and red if they’re red.

Vanity is part of the game IMO and I’m disappointed that the enemy can’t see my fabulous dye job. I paid good money for those dyes. I’m not sure that recoloring the armor adds much – it’s not like I’m confused who I’m fighting or anything, they have red names above their heads and red = kill. Typically people don’t refer to enemy server by color either, they refer to them by name.

I would rather the recoloring weren’t there personally.

This adds an advantage to you.

This allows you to visually differentiate the two teams from one another (If they are fighting in the same direct space) and to see which team the person is from afar. (Too far for names to show up)

I don’t see why people want to do this to look better to the other teams rather than perform better.

I have no idea why I didn’t think of this, but it makes sense. Perhaps, then they could just make it an option to turn on world-coloring, if it’s deemed that necessary at all.

Would require quite a lot of extra coding to make a niche option for older content.

Not really worth the time, I think.

Wouldn’t you rather have more events and patches instead?

Raific.4652:

I can’t just use my female allure to get your page back. Only works on guildmasters, not Mods(Mods being merp go yell at him.)

Aveneo.2068:

Wait a minute, if these Mist Wars are being fought in the past; why not make everyone look like an (Ascalon) ghost? That should help the culling and still look somewhat decent, right?

Ew! Gross!

I like my TA skins.

There is no such thing as spawn camping in this game. With 3+ exits per base, it is really pretty much impossible to stop folks from leaving if they wanted to. Most times I do not even bother, I run out the front and cut left or right, and rarely does anyone try and chase.

People are there by choice and largely the fighting occurs there because it lets folks on both sides retreat to guards when needed, but still able to fling stones at one another. Boring as watching paint dry in my opinion, but they seem to like it.

It is still Spawn camping. I am not sure why you are so conversational to anything Toble writes but regardless if they can go out another way, it is camping at their spawn point, hence spawn camping. Please chill out over the semantics. This is why we went astray last time. Or if you have an issue with Toble, take it to PMs.

Everyone yells at me!

So yes, there is in a way.

(I’m talking camping, I forgot to say that)

Yes we are taking keeps that are taken, but we aren’t camping is what I mean.

Oh my god, quit crying and go Spvp.

If all of you “Real pvpers” are leaving because of ascended gear, just know that the actual Pvpers are laughing at you because we know that gear isn’t everything, and the minuscule jump this gear makes is half a tier, not even a full tier.

It wont matter. If you are good, you will shred people in ascended gear still despite what you are wearing.

The Ascended gear is just what separates those who want to put in the extra effort versus those who put in the effort to whine about it on forums.

Pirhana.8935:

I’m here for the same reason. and no WvW reward system is really killing it for me.

I thought of GW2 as my last hope for DAOC style pvp. But low and behold ESO has shown itself in the last month and it actually is doing 3 faction RVR. one of the devs was even part of the build team for DAOC. With the skyrim play style and active blocking and parrying and counter attacks i think it might be what GW2 WvW was suppose to be for us DAOC people

Gw2 was made for all of us, not just DAOC people. Keep that in mind.

I have been trying to avoid camping WvW as well as the rest of my guild (Mostly) Considering we want to give the other servers a chance to have a little fun with lower numbers. Can’t say anything for the pugs, but we have gotten our PVE on in this time instead of pushing harder than all green towers.

I, for one, do not condone spawn camping in these situations. In a defensive situation like friday, sure, but it’s just pointless to not let people out of their spawn at times like this. (Even though there are several doors)

I really hope some guild transfer to ET. that or NcSoft is gonna have to close down the server when absolutely everyone leaves…

“We’ve all lost track of any original point we may have had so there’s no point taking this side conversation any further. Back to the OP. QUOTH!”

This is where we come back to the reading issue. You said I was aggressive to your server, where? I do not see it, so either quote me so I can fix it as it wasn’t intended, or shut up.

Being aggressive to people that trash talk is different then being aggressive to their server as a whole. Same as I wouldn’t blame a server for a single exploiter.

Well what you quoted is refering to your posts towards toble, not others towards the nsp server. Unless you’re quoting that and not referring to it.

Also, the ‘you should read’ or ‘learn to read’ or whatever variation is instantly insulting to most people and known by most to be since it’s a basic skill. There are infinite polite ways of saying the same thing.

Amen Brother.

Even with the 5 man limit, I do just fine.

Be better at positioning yourself in relation to the people you want to heal and that is your targeting.

This is not a suggestion sub forum.

“Problems” with pvp dynamics or anything are not to be put here in and will not be responded to. This is a discussion sub-forum.

Do not blame the moderators because you complain about the culling issues and thieves and all sorts of things in WvW. In this sub-forum, they are mostly looking for and deleting and removing trash and inappropriate talk.

Please take your suggestions to the suggestion sub-forum.

Toble.2968:

So then why are you making such aggressive comments at the server? (Seems like you do care.)

Also, if it was a simple insult, being as untrue as you just stated it to be, I understand. Continue then.

Good, I am glad you are competitive, but you might want to brew a cup of tea or something, you are starting to use caps lock.

What aggressive comments? Cap’s lock was used to emphasis, given that the point seem to be missed even though I kept repeating it.

I guess capslock, swearing, and strong insulting sentences were misread by me as aggressive. Sorry for the misinterpretation, I now understand that that means “I don’t care”.
