Guild Wars 2

KitaYumi.7048:

Can you confirm that the full guild-name is “The Jesters”?
If you can, could you please sent these screenshots as a link in a private message?

Yes it’s definitely The Jesters. A ranger with spider pet, a warrior and 1 other from [JEST] with a few The Shipwrecked Pirates [TSP].

About 5 TC from [TSP] and some [JEST] just exploited their way into Cliffside in FABL for the 2nd time. Really guys? You’re already winning by a stretch and you have to resort to this kind of stuff? So pathetic.
Edit: they’re running around the map trying to exploit their way into anything they see.

PVE-ers want rewards, so emphasise how easy xp/karma/coin comes in WvW?
Also, trying to recruit WvW-ers from your opponents in the upcoming matchup isn’t the way to do it [DRGN].

You could always just ask in /map if there’s any mesmers porting people up in the jumping puzzle.

TheFug.5278:

Yeah, that was the most FA I have seen to date – that was intense. Really wish they would fix the culling.

Yeah that’ll happen when you usually PvDoor in FA off-peak hours

Also, sPvP is not WvW.

• Affects both sPvP and WvW.

Read again, my friend.

Quote please? I’m not finding it and also not seeing any option in wvw to set these preferences.

Also, sPvP is not WvW.

Nice to see TC are still claiming that being able to field huge numbers at off-peak hours is superior tactics.

Sunshine.3452:

It doesn’t matter if they come at us 2v1 or not, the only thing it will do is make our server grow stronger from it.
It doesn’t matter if they troll and flame us on the forums, they are just making fools out of themselves.
It doesn’t matter if we are losing, for we are roleplayers, we can allways roleplay we are winning.
What matters though, is one simple truth, and that one is absolute, the Golem God, in all his immortal glory, will lead us to victory, and when we die, our souls shall be turned into cogs in his divine machinery.

The bold bit made me lol.

As for being fine with 3rd place, I think most people on FA know we’re not going to be dropping out of the tier any time soon (especially with how YB is doing in tier 4) and are just happy to be fighting in the most interesting matchup we’ve had in a while.

If you’re looking beyond EU servers Fort Aspenwood could really use your help.

DivineBeing.2086:

….
Just stick in there guys. TC should soon move up to T2 and you won’t have to deal with us anymore.

http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#NA predicts you guys aren’t going anywhere soon.

Seriously GODS & BLNT, get a room already.

Just because you think you’re running alone doesn’t mean there isn’t an kitten of people behind you with the same idea… just sayin’.

OP got some mad Paint skillz.

Nut.4713:

While that was happening, referring to the image of a pure green fabl you were speaking of, PRO + a few pugs had roughly 30 people at Cliffside in ybbl. They did really well holding it, to give them credit, but obviously was a hopeless defense since they had nothing else on the map. Meanwhile, they lose their entire border to what frankly wasn’t a particularly strong push from TC.
…

We decided we didn’t want to waste our time fighting a battle we couldn’t win against zergs from both other servers in our own borderlands. Which ties together with this:

Saradon WarChild.2034:

As an FA player and commander I came to a realization tonight. I’m NEVER going to care enough about winning tier 3 to sit with 3 other people in an empty supply camp and watch Dolayks for hours on a Saturday night.
…

..which is an attitude more and more people on FA are getting, including me, although i’d like to add “that will get overrun by a zerg anyway” to the empty supply camp bit.

I like how a person from YB talks about feeling like its a 2v1 against them and people automatically assume it’s FA whining again. L2read maybe.
Also funny how there’s more posts about people whining than there are actual whining posts.

Score update~!!!

What a nail biter! Come on, that has to be super exciting.

Not really. Either way nothing changes except maybe the side of EB we start in.

NA tier 3 is very competitive at the moment, and while both Yak´s Bend and Fort Aspenwood could use the reinforcements I suggest you come to FA as YB are yaks and well.. yaks smell funny.

It IS a population issue and more specifically a coverage issue. During NA primetime we can field as many as the other 2 and more if we’re doing well. But in this matchup and the last ive been seeing us lose everything by around 3am server time (early morning for me in europe), when both the other servers can field significantly larger numbers than we can. This to the point where specifically TC can have a 20 man group taking and securing supply camps with another equally large or larger group assaulting everything. When we have around 15 people on the entire map it’s only a matter of time before we lose everything and even more so if we’re trying to defend against both servers, even if it’s all fully upgraded.
As for how we did last week, I attribute that mostly to people that pulled all-nighters during the first days of the matchup and the effect of doing well on casual wvw’ers.

Chewy.9263:

It sure does feel good to retake Hills in FA BL in under 5 minutes.

Congrats at winning PvDoor i guess?

I like how TC & YB keep coming up with new ways to justify focussing FA. But it’s all good, farming your zergs last week got me more badges than any other matchup so far

Bumping this because we could use some more, also NA primetime.

ykyk.2740:

From the point of view of TC, you guys have much more than us (and sometimes Yak’s combined!) during that time period. Yesterday in fact we were barely above outmanned on one map, outmanned on the other and had all our players shuffle between TCBL/EB desperately defending key objectives to stop the FA onslaught We’re used to it though, matching against CD for 2 weeks already.

The guilds that are on during this time are imo more organised than the “day-shift” and tend to move around a lot to keep pressure on or relieve it where needed, which may give the impression that there are more players than there actually are.

Ira.5172:

We would love to have you guys in Fort Aspenwood.

Fort Aspenwood really needs some reinforcements in NA primetime as it looks like we’re in tier 3 to stay, so yeah, come to Fort Aspenwood!

I got Dusk. The value of precursors on the trading post is already dropping which should soften the blow a bit if you didnt get one.

It’s part of the fun imo, no need to change it.

clipnotdone.9634:

Good fun had by all, quite a few good fights and some really great play.
Hopefully we can get a few more of them going before the matchup ends.

Also the whole thing was recorded.

Link to the recording pls? I’d like to review a few things..

Nice little fightclub with a few DH east of Mendon’s just now. Tnx for the fun!

You get timed out of wvw after the usual amount of afk-time if you stay dead. I’m not really seeing a problem here.

The gear isnt even that good compared to other 80 exotic sets.

Arcadio.6875:

http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#NA just updated. Previous updates projected we would stay as the green server of Tier 4, but now it’s projecting that we will be the blue server of Tier 3! Still very early of course, but it looks like we will get another shot at that tier. Yak’s Bend is the likely server to drop.

I think it’s possible that even if we (YB) won tier 3 this week, we could still drop if the final scores were close enough. That’s crazy.

That’s unfortunate, I was hoping for a rematch.

Looks like we might get that rematch after all next week:

IRSyKo.5843:

so, guessing this died off lol

Well it’s early days still in the current matchup but if the predictions are right we’re going to need reinforcements when we move up to tier 3 next week.

morrolan.9608:

Please lets not have this thread descend into hacker complaints. Its not the fault of FA as a whole if they have some hackers.

It is a massive problem this week. FA is the worst offender we have ever seen. They need to police their people or their server will go down like Gates of Madness. We noticed the same behavior originally from them and now they are one of the worse servers in the system.

My guess is FA will be the next Gates of Madness due to hacking.

Really? I’ve never seen it as blatantly obvious as from some of your guys today around Cragtop.

Nanorin.9285:

FA could you stop hacking … really…

Not funny anymore.

Same goes for you Yak’s guys.

@ Braxxus: Moral of the story: fix the kitten rendering/culling issues already

@ jadjay: you guys did extremely well on your own BL yesterday after reset. Had some fun 3-way fights there.

@ OP: just kill the phantasm? Not like they have a lot of health…
Personal most annoying: rendering issues/culling. I can’t believe this isn’t fixed yet.

gidorah.4960:

after i wiped the last swarm the bots and player moved to another map and brought backup this time from the guild pro

Just to clarify, this is a different guild than the PRO that actually does a lot of wvw; their name is Protectorate Of Aspenwood or something but also with the PRO tag.

Leet Tactics

Starring: Ram, the Maguuma mascott.

Oh it’s a mascot.. :p we were wondering why you set up a ram and an arrowcart next to the catapult on that tower assault (2nd assault i believe after we wiped your smaller initial force when they were on the tower lord).

Same.4687:

This isn’t news. Yes there’s a culling issue, yes ANet is aware and has already said they are making good progress on it.
However you not being able to hit your tab key is a fault of your own. I have played vs plenty of D/D Ele’s now and more often than not get my kitten handed to me as a thief (not a glass cannon btw) I go into stealth and while I am the Ele will just spam tab untill he finds me.
This isn’t rocketscience.

Just wondering, can you link to where this is mentioned?

Imo just switch the buffs. Also upping repair cost for the losing side is a terrible idea, although I like the increased BoH droprate idea.

This is a pretty weird matchup.. seems like all 3 sides have their zerg-moments but never quite at the same time.

Romek.4201:
“no point to go there
- bad ping (not important for a lot ppl in WvW but go sPvp and you will notice it)
- not many people outside from WvW to do other stuff
dont see why should go there for any other thing than PvDoors – whats the point?
…”

I’m on FA and I play from europe, and the 3 points you make are just not true.

Quoting Mysticforce:
“… but no large zerg. Instead, we also operated in groups of 5, 10, or 20 (largest zerg I saw last night was when two groups combined and reached 30ish).”

I beg to differ. Screenshot is from just now outside Woodhaven, and it doesn’t show the rest of the TC zerg between the tower and FA garrison. Still fun fights though

The Wiki says
“It can’t port you to places you could not normally reach without jumping. It can however port you to places below you as falling is considered part of walking as well. This can help with getting to places without dying by the fall damage.”
but I’ve done a bunch of tests and I can’t get it to work to places below me. Is this a bug?

Switch Orb buff & Outmanned buff. Problem solved.

@Sceptus: same could be said for TC

Glad i farmed one of these bugged doors to get plenty of candy corn for my monthly achievement and more before it was “fixed” to the grind-state Anet apparently wants it to be..

Galrukh.6532:

Im not really blaming as much as stating the facts. The blame 100% lies with the game design, you choose to take advantage of it and we either choose not to or are not able to (because of low nighttime numbers).
It stops being fun when I KNOW that you will have at least 30% more players then we do, when I KNOW you can cap whatever you want whenever you want. I go out there and so do others, but when we have 0 queue I know its not the numbers we need. The small skirmishes are still fun but the big fights are worthless because once we become a threat you just put together a zerg or 2 that are bigger than anything we can muster.

In addition to you having more players than we do which makes it really hard to do anything worthwhile, you also have all 3 orbs which just makes it that much harder.
I understand the reasoning behind capping everything and getting the orbs, its what WvW is all about after all. But you are still guaranteeing no WvW for 5 days and while itsnot your “fault” its still the result of your actions. I wish our people were out there, but they are not when the scores are what they are now.

Pretty much gotta agree with this.

Right now the biggest bug is getting stuck in the loading screen on exiting spawn. I had to hard-quit the game to get out of it just now, and now i’m in a queue again. It would be nice to get a fix that doesnt break other stuff.

Same here, stuck on the loading screen for 5+ minutes now..
