Guild Wars 2

DevonCarver.5370:

The timer works like this: When you deploy a siege site, if you don’t put supply into it for 2 minutes, it will despawn. Every time you put supply in, it will get a new timer of 5 minutes. Once siege is fully built, it has the 30 minute timer. That timer resets every time someone uses the weapon.

A good mechanic but terrible and unclear patch notes. Thanks for the clarification.

salutes and drops tag

Kitty

Thank you for all your hard work and commanding no matter the conditions. Your aid on the battlefield will be missed. /salute

WyldKat.4712:

Lee: Don’t think. FEEL. It’s like a finger pointing at the moon.
[Looks at student who is looking at the finger; smacks student again]
Lee: Do not concentrate on the finger or you will miss all of the heavenly glory!

Finally. I understand FINGER MOON.

Yes the weekend was a mess for TC but we’re working on fixing that. We’re the Zombie Coast for a reason.

It was fun fighting [CORP] and defending yaks last night/early morning. See you all on the battlefield when I get away from work. Evil, evil work.

SundayTrash.9562:

All I see projectile spam. what happen to the head bashing, blood quirting close range combat.

Have you tried a guardian? Melee types can be insanely effective when you’re playing with a coordinated group. Wade in with a quick disruptive strike and GTFO gather your wits and cooldowns and go right back in.

Granted melee is very dangerous (and I die a lot doing it) but the thrill when you split a zergball or run down that key player holding everyone together can’t be beat.

Also:

OMG all of you I am going to turn this kitten around if you don’t be quiet!

Well, you need two super rams and about 10 people and you… wait, I will tell you the rest when you’re older.

FractalChaos.6539:

But the fact my level 20 Mesmer was able to go to WvW and contribute more, in certain situations, than my level 80 Guardian says more about the class than about me…

My Mesmer is just DREADFUL as healing other players [in certain conditions]!

See what I did there? Guardians are still pretty OP so its funny that you use that for your example.

And yes it is sad that Glam is going away, but I saw the writing on the wall a couple months back and have been slowly switching to Shatter. Lucky me!

FractalChaos.6539:

1. They are also the slowest class in the game.
…and yet you can choose to enter or leave a fight as you wish thanks to stealth, blink, clones, decoy etc. My Guardian may take 3 times longer to die than you will in a fight, but he will die. Guardians simply don’t “escape” from a fight gone bad.

2. Massive damage yields no defense. (Do a dodge through the clones watch no damage happen then 2 shot the guy).
We can theorycraft all day here. You come up with a scenario highlighting Mesmer weakness, and I will highlight an equivalent weakness for the other classes. None of that alters the fact that mesmer damage can very, very easily keep up with everyone else’s.

1 on a guardian: GreatSword #3 then Sword #2 to a distant creep/player you want to travel towards. Follow up with Save Yourselves. Your Guardian is now out of combat and hasted, and most likely WITH stability.

2 on a guardian. Seriously, learn to dodge. Rolling through a planned shatter absolutely sinks Mesmer DPS. Setting up 3 clones in a hurry takes either weapon swapping or a utility slot. This isn’t always easy to do if you’re disrupting the Mesmers attacks at all.

Here is a score and a map

DevonCarver.5370:

We don’t have one yet, but we are working on implementing something to stop corpse scouting. That’s all the info I have right now though and there is no ETA.

This is easy. Make the screen go blank (no geometry/sprites) except player models. This way players can wait for a friendly help rez but will not be able to discern much information after death other than friendlies running around.

Of course I am sure your rendering pipeline makes no difference for PC’s and NPC and geometry so I propose you just expand your existing vignette border to be all black except for player models.

Andy.9137:

It’s not even possible for a fair fight is it

You need to upgrade your computer. An approximation of your build in zergs is lol-tastic. I can only imagine what the real deal is like.

WyldKat.4712:

One does not simply walk into Tier 2. Its borderland gates are guarded by more than just zergs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the forum trolls are ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very words you type are poisonous fumes. Hundreds of gamers could help you do this. And it’ll be fun.

Hahaha +1.

(That was your most lucid post to date I am afraid to say…)

Like people don’t mindlessly zerg already?

It would be nice to get gear that the PvE crowd has had access to for months now…

rank 161-170 – Blue Slime
rank 171-180 – Sentient Mold-Man

Just a heads up, the new AMD drivers for many cards have fixed a lot problems as well as added about 5 fps for me in WvW. The worst visual problem, texture “flickering” has been fixed for Directx9 games!

I personally am using the 13.5 beta drivers and I am very happy.

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx

I just wanted to let other people know about this. As always a clean graphics driver install is best.

Sista.1925:

Sorry Shaka…but was ruffled by all the sincerity that was posted but not reflected on the field….Call me war weary….or zerg weary…..

A lot of the TC old guard posts here. The people being kittens? Well, lets just say I don’t know their names or their tags…

I feel like I transferred to a different server lately and I’ve been here all along.

I will yell at them till they leave. It is going to take a lot of yelling.

TC sure has changed in the past two weeks. I am not sure if I want or like it. But look at our score!

I don’t know these people. Maybe I just have not been WvW’ing enough. 6 days a week for 6+ hours…

Roman Legionary.6715:

umm what? your first post = you see your own team, this comment refers to seeing your enemies too….which one is it?

Where are you getting confused?

6:00pm PST?

I… I will actually be able to play on reset O.o

Shadowflare.2759:

For the last 8 months or so a large amount of players from PST have had to deal with waiting in queue because most of the spots are taken by players from the East Coast before PST players even get home from work. Now both sides will have a number of people in queue instead of it mostly being PST players. East Coast players have been able to be there, and will still be able to be there for reset. PST players went from having a slim to no chance of being there for reset to a decent chance. I think the change is more than justified.

Basically this!

I did not say it is a bad thing but that it could be a bad thing. Map wide awareness at a glance is a huge defensive boost. With this upgrade on every structure, a player watching the map would know exactly how many people to call from another map if there was a hard push to their EB/BL.

The only way to boost offense in the face of such an upgrade is to give players more info about how many people are fighting across the map in a mobile (offensive) fashion. If this defensive upgrade was put in without a boost to offense information total map lockdown would be more of a reality than before Breakouts.

And yes putting in pigeons would mean that good WvW assaults would start with raiders sapping siege / roosts before the main zerg showed up. It would give a huge advantage to mounting a defense if attacking players had not bothered with properly removing as many structure buffs as possible. This means that speed based attacks would be blunted in their effectiveness and your average player would know that their aid is needed in defense without cluttering up /map, /team or VOIP with calls for information. This is of course if the attackers did not clear the pigeons beforehand (raiding, small group work).

Thank you for the feedback.

PPT is Peace

GvG is Slavery

Zerging is Strength

No feedback from this forum?

Thanks for all this. I usually never read guides but I really wanted to improve my warrior play. Still in blue gear but this at least gives me a good idea of where to start.

Gturtle.2864:

Sometime between this past December and now, TC sold it’s soul. Maybe Arena Net made them do it; but it’s done.

I blame the same but productive faction of TC’ers that want to see us go to T1. I don’t know why they do it, but they, like the rest of TC are unrelenting. This is the same ~type~ of person that wants us all on Mumble.

That said, we still have the same philosophy but basic human nature dictates that if there is an easy way to do something in a graceless manner that gets results we all do it.

I am not going to cry to the WvW thread (much) because it serves some people’s version of fun. The idea sticks with the crowd and we go along with it.

All that minor Q_Q aside, I am not scared that TC has sold its soul. It is still there, but it is much harder to see for our opponents because to you we are a faceless Zerg.

Now lets play nice!

There are actually two modes of WvW.

Regular WvW

and

QvQ

What fun this thread is!

Hahaha someone being nasty on the internet.

I have fun I play when I can.

RoninDB.9540:

Reset night is hazy. “Okay Team” as the drinking word for the night might not be the best choice

lol!

Urrid.4593:

Winter is Coming….Sometime, soon.

FINALLY. The Rosetta Stone! I can finally bother the right people to fix things!

/bug does pretty much nothing.

Iruwen.3164:

I’m so gonna stalk all of you now crazy laughter

Pretty much this.

This weekend is going to be a Kitten Show. At least I am stuck at work.

Maniac.5163:

This thread turned out to be pretty quality stuff. Maguuma would be proud.
Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

The worst compliment.

Andy.9137:

The difference is that the IoJ guilds came to us. We didn’t approach them. I’m not too familiar with how KN got theirs…but the reason for this drama (at least my understanding) is that it became quite apparent (from quite a few posts now) that TC will gladly cripple other servers to make their server even bigger for that precious win.

Totally 100% not propaganda. Unvarnished truth!

Every word is gol…

Andy.9137:

EDIT: I dunno..my point still stands. We didn’t ask them to come :P

I am sure!

Loot bags, propaganda, poor defenseless server, transfers, gvg, cookies, 2v1 etc etc.

How can anyone but the trolls read this cr …. OHhhhhhh. That’s why late week match threads stink!

Well then, here is to the new week’s thread…

SHAKA ZULU.3128:

My guardian is a Targ, js

You’ve gotta be kidding me. TOO CUTE. q_q

Mif.3471:

Kaineng without [WM]: Varys (the eunuch)

Okay, now I am scared. Varys is awesome and scary all at once.

Harrish.8743:

Not good enough. We’ll do 5 vs. 20. Your 5 are all axe rangers with green gear and no off-hand weapons. We get to use food buffs, you don’t. Your 5 have to role play that you’re fairies lost in a wood and being attacked by ogres. Alaric has to go by the name Gingerwings and sing commands in a falsetto voice. We get to wear our wizard robes. See ya there.

/me buys a front row ticket

I have to see this performance!

I personally don’t care that I drop badges or bags.

A lot of posts by FA in this thread claim that TC does nothing but play the PPT game. All those people we kill to take FA and KN holding’s must be a part of TC’s collective imagination then!

:D

You know who else cares about who started a pointless argument? That’s right! Children!

And do you know what adults say when their kids start pointing fingers?

“It doesn’t matter, apologize and play nice!”

TC trolls. FA trolls. KN sometimes trolls too. It doesn’t matter too much other than it being pointless. There is no “fault” here other than the personal fault of the people contributing to the sillyness that the past page or so has been.

If you’re going to troll, at least troll in an interesting manner.

They are both equally impressive. What a selection! What taste!

BOOOOOORRRIING.

FA >—-slapfight—-< TC annnnnnnd KN over here just bored.

Then again I am on TC and I am bored. Please post something fun! I am stuck here another hour…

swoon

look at this bravery in the face of battle.

Jayne.9251:

Let’s take all the energy folks put into this thread and use it in game shall we?

But I am still at work! (drinking wine) whatever will I do without the posts? I don’t want to socialize with strangers twice my age too much!!

Witty Scorecard comment!

here you go friend

Only moments ago. A scorecard!

Revans.2018:

Go team!

Even though it’s the same teams it seems like every week brings a new twist : ) I still have just as much fun now as I did weeks ago.

This has been so true and I love it.

Can I get this moved to the suggestions forum please?

whiran.1473:

(great stuff)
…The biggest thing when it comes to server ranking is population. Servers need 24/7 coverage to be a tier 1, they need 18-20 hour / 7 days coverage for tier 2, and it drops steadily after that.

Great post and I felt accurate. May you receive many +1s for it.
