Guild Wars 2

East Coast, West Coast, Tarnished Coast is the best coast!

@Galrukh.6532 What a typical QQ post. I’m sorry but why don’t you quit complaining and fight like the rest of your server? What happened last week when both TC and FA had to face the wrath of Blackgate? From our perspective, FA decided to roll over and let Blackgate rub their tummies and, only towards the end of the week, did you decide to get organised and cap stuff so that we would both be pushed down to Tier 4 for a more balanced match. Thanks for that btw! I honestly believe this week is more balanced! ^^ And no, I’m not being sarcastic or snarky!

Even now, having got the supposedly more balanced match you fought for, you say it’s fixed and give up. I don’t think FA should give up at all. Where will being passive get you? Be like others on your server and continue to fight even if it looks bad. Even if you don’t win, you can still annoy the other team.

What irks me the most about your post is that you blame TC for ruining the match. I paid for this game too. I have no obligations to you and can play whenever I want to. Your point would’ve been valid if we had been doing what Blackgate were doing to HoD and ET i.e. capping all of your spawn points with siege. Except we haven’t.

And if the shoe had been on the other foot and you were in the lead, I’m certain TCers wouldn’t complain. Grow up. You’re never going to get an easy match from TC if that’s what you want. We don’t hold our horses or give you courtesy caps (which are condescending!). And I don’t think we’d want you to make it easy for us either.

Can we just clarify something? Dee Jay has basically said that mesmers can stealth an entire zerg for 20 seconds? What ability is that? If you mean Mass Invisibility, that’s 10 seconds. Mesmers can chain stealth for 14 secs if they use all their stealth abilities. Fact is if you hang around long enough, they will get caught. And they don’t have the mobility of thieves so they’ll probably die too lol!

Mesmer portal isn’t OP, if you’re referring to its use to recapture keeps. I agree with everyone else who said that you deserve it if you didn’t sweep for mesmers. In our matchups with servers in higher tiers, I’ve been caught almost every time I’ve tried to hide. And when we capture the Bay or the Hills keep, I go over there myself to check and sweep twice.

Regarding the limiting of numbers, I can’t actually say. As a mesmer, I’m a little bit biased so I’ll stay outta that area… :P

@kanikani.2430 Please don’t accuse Tarnished Coast, as a whole, of stooping to cheating. I think it’s clear from previous matchups that we don’t condone that sort of behaviour. I’m sure your server feels the same way. We aren’t so serious about WvW to cheat to win. Also, funnily enough, while in FA Borderlands, a mesmer and his friends from Fort Aspenwood tried to use the portal exploit to get themselves into our keep. Reported them. Equally, we could say FA are all cheats but we don’t believe that to be true.

I can’t speak for all the borderlands but in FA Borderlands, when our commanders and most people left to sleep, there were only a few of us, around 7 defending Greenlake from a zerg of about 30 FA players with siege. Then slowly, people started to trickle in and we got our numbers to match yours. Idk about our night presence but I don’t think it’s as strong as you might think it is.

Some of us are still in Lion’s Arch and have been stuck in a 3hr+ queue ._. Fun times.

Still queuing lol. I still need to show you that hiding place. East Coast, West Coast, Tarnished Coast is the best coast!

Off-topic, but shout-out to Cora the Explorer! ^^;

Ditto. I’m sure it’s not something that is widespread but which comes with the price of having people transfer to your server. All of them were from The Dark Affiliation [TDA] and we just thought you should know.

Yah, BG camping our spawn point. Keep it classy, BG.

EDIT: Nyari, you make me laugh so much. “The Queen of Quentin Lake does not give up her Royal Residence so easily!” >:D

Yah, I understood that part already lol. I know they probably feel the same way as us, but from our perspective, it just feels a little bit annoying that they’ve only decided to come out in force now when we’ve been fighting all week. Nvm! ^^

TC isn’t the weaker server though. They are. It would also make sense for them to work with us against BG but I think they’re capping stuff because they’re desperate to get points so that we both get pushed down to Tier 4, which I understand.

@Vorpal I think it’s just a miscommunication issue tbh. The same thing has been happening in Toastie’s BL regarding working against BG. It doesn’t work for us because FA still attack us lol. I even used emotes to tell a group of FA I encountered that I wasn’t going to attack them and they still killed me ._.

Equally though, I’m not going to point fingers or anything but FA have been in our BLs, hitting our camps whilst we’re facing off against DB and then swooping into the bay keep with their zerg to try and cap it, even though we did all the hard work. In either case, you guys sure are annoying lol ^^

Shouldn’t you be at work? Also, some FA are so annoying and sneaky. The way you guys swoop in and try to cap things after Toasties have done all the hard work and prep.

Can we please let this useless thread die please? I paid for this game too and I don’t know why I should have the profession I enjoy nerfed just because you can’t grow up and stop throwing a little tantrum over losing in a game.

If you want to bring up the issue of LoS, maybe make another thread with an appropriate title and a starting post that doesn’t scream T_T. They should make a separate QQ sub-forum for people like the OP. Or a troll forum. I haven’t figured out which.

On the basis that if people shout loud enough, somebody might listen? Mesmer portals are getting slack for the wrong reasons. Thieves, idk too much about. But even there, I think most people would argue the problems lie with culling/rendering. The problem with mesmer portals isn’t the skill itself; it’s the rendering.

Brutalistik.6473:

Only thing I’m going to say about mesmer even they could use a nerf is that when they go down there clones automatically disappears. No clones should be up when a mesmer goes down. If anything should be allowed when they go down is that invisible for a few seconds and teleport somewhere else. That right there is fair balance on the battlefield otherwise allow warriors to use their warband ability similar to thieves guild ability and give those abilities to other classes as well.

Balance doesn’t mean making all the classes the same and giving them the same abilities… Because otherwise there would be no distinct difference between each profession. At least, I think that’s what you’re implying… ._.

^ Well of course you have to kill the phantasms… If you’re ignoring them, then you kinda deserve to die. That’s the point, isn’t it? And please, phantasm damage isn’t half as bad as you’re making it out to be. They die so quickly and would have to be summoned multiple times before they could actually destroy siege weapons. So long in fact, that it isn’t really worth the effort.

But I agree that, if there’s a bug with LoS, it should be fixed.

QQ ALERT! I used to use Moa Morph but now it’s rarely, if ever, in my skills bar. I much prefer Mass Invisibility and Time Warp. Moa is on a fairly long cooldown and doesn’t really have any benefits besides shutting someone down for 10 seconds…

I’ve been moa’d a few times and have only died once (but that was because I was outnumbered and would’ve died anyway!).

The others time I was moa’d? I didn’t just stand there and panic and think “OMG, I’VE BEEN MOA’D. OP POWER!”… I dodged and ran and dodged again and continued running and before I knew it, I was back to normal again. I’m not even that good a player. I’m a pretty crappy player, honestly. I react far too slowly.

Also… @Raitoken, I’m also running all Knights exotics and more or less the same gear as you and I still get killed. The impression I get from your post is that that gear should somehow make you invincible and immune to death. You’re not invincible. In fact, as a thief, you’re incredibly squishy. I could QQ so much about how you thieves backstab and run off and stealth and are just a nuisance but I don’t.

Another QQ post. I don’t understand why people moan JUST BECAUSE they lost in PvP. Congrats on making X profession less enjoyable for a number of players who also paid for the game, just like you. Grow up. I’m so annoyed by thieves right now yet you don’t see me complaining about it on forums.

Okay, so Blurred Frenzy is overpowered lol. Anything else? In hindsight, I’d probably take Portal out of that list. I don’t think I’ve ever used Portal outside of PVP (except that one time I had to help this fatty get through the gap in the wall) and even then, it’s rarely in my skills bar.

I’m a bit bleh towards Time Warp. Unless we’re all in a zerg fest and bunched together, it’s usually ineffective, at least when I lay it down. I probably need more practice.

I don’t know my way around the Mesmer profession as well as other people and I’m sure there’re still some tweaks and bugs that need to be taken care of but I’m getting pretty tired of the “THIS IS OP, NERF NERF NERF!” threads. I mean, look at the thread about Phantasms being overpowered. It’s nice when one profession gets bumped down a notch but what about those people who play X class? Where does that leave them? All because, what? You lost in a few PVP matches? That wasn’t referring solely to Mesmers btw! I meant in general!

Moa is overpowered. Time Warp is overpowered. Portal is overpowered. Phantasms are overpowered. What next?

Phantasms are mesmers’ main source of damage; get rid of that and where do you leave them? It takes a while for mesmers to set up clones/illusions anyway and even then, those are pretty squishy.

Okay, very quick post since I’m actually running CM atm. I’m sure it’s possible to run dungeons with few problems once you and your team have got the hang of it but honestly, I cannot stand CM explorable mode. I’ve consistently found that the mobs are harder than the end boss and serve as trash that hinders your team. I just think it’s kinda ridiculous how these mobs can kill you in about 3 hits and have a fair bit of HP at the same time.

Hated the room where there was a huge mob of bandits; it’s like we’re not meant to kill them. In the end, we had to stealth our way past them and died many times. Also, AoEs plus random spikes aren’t very nice… Maybe it’s a learning curve thing.

I haven’t read through the posts on this thread yet but I agree with anyone who says that the rewards you get for your time and effort don’t justify what you have to go through to get them. The costs of repairs, for instance. I know you don’t have to get the dungeon armour but for those of us who do want it, you’re kinda forced to grind nasty, painful mobs to get tokens. The whole experience is just very hurty.

Edit: Okay, so we actually ended up quitting because we felt we couldn’t finish lol. One of my teammates said the game was terrible. I disagreed. I think GW2 has many great features and, on the whole, I really do like it. However, some aspects are letting it down at the moment. I know we’re only one month in and things will likely change so I’m not gonna have a kitten-fit and rage quit.

I haven’t actually checked or kept record but the, say, 26s I get at the end only really manages to reimburse me for the money I spent on repairs with maybe a little extra.

I’d like to ask you guys to “please make the mobs a little easier in CM explorable mode” but I’m afraid I’ll be jumped on…

SORRY FOR THE WALL OF TEXT! ._.

EDIT: Why can’t I type “finish———it” without having it being kitten’d? There’s a space between those two words! I checked twice!

Now I never played Guild Wars, but I have played a few other MMOs. And I have to say, I was pretty surprised that there was no customisation system for characters since, at least for me, it seems like something that’s almost integral. What was also kinda shocking was the fact that (correct me if I’m wrong here!) you guys only got makeover packs after 4 years…

Either way, I’d love a system like this where we could change hair, faces, height and maybe even gender. Race seems a bit far for me… I know people might not support being able to alter your character’s face but I think it’s important to give players some control and choice over their toons.

Edit: Forgot to mention, I hope it doesn’t take quite as long as that. I know ANet are probably swamped with work so I won’t pressure them! But if we could get recustomisation + renames in the next major update, I’d kitten myself! ^^;
