insanemaniac.2456:

anet made it character bound to give some kind of meaning to the name youre following, and quite frankly i agree. name recognition is a very important factor in trust.

If that is the problem, Anet can always display the account ID instead. Now when I thinking of it, it would be nice to see if any commanders from my server is posting on the forums aswell.

Caliban.3176:

Your question remains valid though, there should be a possible countertreb and people in this thread have given you the locations for that.

I will mark an answer when I have tested it, for futher references.

Rich.1528:

Treb on the supply depot in Briar can’t reach Vista trebs, no way to counter it, except trebs in openfield or suicide ele with meteor shower. Only 2 “showers” need to destroy these trebs btw due to hitbox bug.

My Elementalist do like 2% dmg to trebs with a meteor shower oO and yea, thats what I tried to do yesterday. Would have taken one treb down after 50 respawns.

Players are unable to take supplies from tower/keep/castle if any upgrade is going on and the tower/keep/castle isn’t under attack.

Punishing players from taking supplies from a fully upgraded tower/keep/castle with a full stock of supplies is kind of dumb.

Snowreap.5174:

Vaugh.7193:

Atleast I wanna give the attackers a fight before Im loosing.

it sounds like you did.

Yes we did. But what if everyone decides to use trebs at vista. What I meant was I want to be able to put up a fight for those attacks aswell.

Snowreap.5174:

hopefully your teammates were able to take stuff elsewhere while you kept your enemies busy there at Redbriar.

On a patch day, with new PvE content, Blacktiders doesnt play WvW Our score were around 45-55 at the time of thier final attack.

ArkAngel.7940:

I have managed to hit those trebs with our own treb on top of the supply depot on the roof. Try that next time.

I will. Now I placed it right behind and I didnt see any damage done when I tried to counter.

Bluesavanah.8562:

Your complaint is invalid

It wasnt meant as a complaint, more of a strategical question. My tone might have been affected on how helpless I feelt after failing to counter the attack.

Me and my guild defended Redbriar today (party of 5). We were nearly all the time outmanned, but we manage to defend it for 4 big attack attempts. But after 4 hours of setting up the “perfect” siege defence, upgrading tower and escorting doylaks, green team decides to build 3 trebs at vista on the little island in the middle. Our treb inside the tower behind the supply roof cant hit them, and soon all our siege is gone and tower is lost.

Is there a way to counter that treb tactic when you are heavily outnumbered?

Atleast I wanna give the attackers a fight before Im loosing.

4-5 ppl is optimal (for my small guild) for completing bounty tier 1. Sometimes you fail tho, unlucky to get a target thats to "hard"* or the target is hiding to well. But small guilds can get guild merits for sure.

(* Not a DPS fight and you need to learn the fight mechanism before you can take down the target.)

As Stars We Will Shine,
Raugool

Im a leader of a small guild, currently holding ~20 players. We have been doing training missions since it got released with not to much difficulty, sucess rate must be around 90-95% on those missions. As most we have been 8 players total doing a mission. Lowest number we succeeded on is 4 players online.

Last week we tried Bounty Hunter Tier 1, with 5 ppl online. Maybe we got lucky to get 2 pretty easy targets but we manage to capture both targets within 14 min and 20 seconds. Yesterday we were 6 players on, we failed our first attempt when our WP got conquested, but manage to do our second one within 13 min.

Guild missions is awsome, even for small guilds. Its not meant to be an easy task, but it is doable. Try harder if you keep failing with your friends. Maybe rethink how you organize your group, I dont know. But it is not an impossible task.

Galrond.5972:

I cant belive Im alone doing this combo ?!?

It’s not the combo. It’s the numbers. Either you are fighting pure zerker glass canons with 0 additional vitality/thoughness or scaled players.

Glass cannons actually goes down before the lava dissapears.

Im amused how players reject the build before even tried it. And if you tried it, you did it wrong.

Galrond.5972:

Are we playing the same game? Or do you have a more deadly lava?

Im sure we play the same game. It is a deadly combo to immobilze oppenent, put lava under his feets, makeing him burn then fire fireballs. The opponent has to have condition remover and a heal ready to survive that kind of nuke, even with cleric set.

No, we’re definitely talking about different games. You’d get, what, maybe 5k damage out of that?

Haha hell no, I get 5k dmg of the fireballs alone. Then add all ticks of lava damage. Then add the burning damage. Outcome is a nearly downed player.

by the time you manage to cast your snare, lava font has almost fizzled out.

First you immobilize, then you put out lava. Its that simple. Also pay attention on you team mates, they might immobilize foes aswell. Throw a lava then too.

I cant belive Im alone doing this combo ?!? How do other Staff users kill other players?

firstly, afaik – lava font is not condition damage or burn. and you will not get 5k dmg with 1 fireball unless your oponent is a critter (you should get it in 5-7 hits though). while lava font is one of our best dps spells, but it is actually quite weak. by the time you manage to cast your snare, lava font has almost fizzled out. not to mention you have limited instant snares and using earth/air snare spells would be too slow to respond.

how i wish my autocast fireballs hit for 5k. that would be soo nice.

Fire skill #3 burns. Sorry if I wasnt clear enough.

5k dmg fireball in cleric gear? That was on a rabit sir.

1 fireball deals around 1k dmg. During those nuking seconds Im able to fire 4 or 5, witch will be around 5k damage.

Im using full Cleric set. […]Using signet of earth to immobilize an enemy and then put lava underneath his/hers feets is deadly. 80% of the times the player dies with that combo if succeeded.

Jester.1546:

Vaugh: Remember that earth 5 is also an imobilize, if you wanna free up the utility slot (though the toughtnessf roms ignet of earth is nice).

Yes, but its slow and a good player see it comming, signets are more stealthy and harder to dodge. Also the static field can work on stopping the enemy to place out the lava field. But I prefer the earth signet.

I got 0 points in arcana and I can still survive alot longer than other classes and players that I play with. I used to have 30 points there, but I put them into fire instead, works better for me.

There is no need to base all your builds on arcana.

When you speak about surviving a lot longer than other classes and players, in what context are you speaking? PvE? s/tPvP? in WvW? small group skirmish? or large group battles?

Also what weapon? Are you in melee range with daggers and possibly a scepter, or at 1200 range with a staff? I know with a staff in most areas, I’d survive longer by virtue of the fact that I’m not even in the enemy’s range.

Im using staff. And Im talking all aspects of the game, only troubles I have is with 1vs1 with skilled mesmers and thieves.

I dont claim to have the best build in the game, I never really cared about it. I just wanted to be a support healer, like in every other trinity mmo ive played. I realized to late that this game doesnt have trinity ^^

However, ppl I play with are impressed with my survivability, Im often the one that goes down last, both in pvp and in dungeons. So I guess ive done something right after all.

Im using full Cleric set with Dywana runes. My traits are 30 fire, 10 earth and 30 water.

As elite skill Im using the Sylvari skill Take root, but I would have used the greatsword if I didnt had that one.

My utility skills are Mist form, Signet of earth, Signet of Air. Using signet of earth to immobilize an enemy and then put lava underneath his/hers feets is deadly. 80% of the times the player dies with that combo if succeeded. I use signet of the air just coz of the speed buff, using it sometimes to blind opponents. I dont think I have to explain mistform.

Eather renewal as my healing skill. Using it as soon I get conditions on me.

My damage is really low compared to others. Im really bad 1vs1, but in small teams or zergs I do alot better. I can tank the attacks while my mates deal the damage. I switch between passive and aggresive plays depending on my coldowns. In passive mode I fall back and put out water fields on my friends. In aggresive mode I lock a target down with signet of earth and kill him/her.

This awlays happens to me and my guild mates when we are in WvW.

Also kicking offline players out of party doesnt work. If an guild officier is in that party they usually kick them out of guild by mistake. We call it the AFK Kick!

Its a hell of a pain when these gets combined, and you need to rearrange the party by leaving first, then type all the names to invite them. I hate players with long names aswell.

I use “Been There. Done That.” title becouse… hmmm…. well, becouse Ive been there and done that.

Dynamic Events.

Join a zerg in WvW that are able to take towers and keeps quick will make you complete alot of dynamic events. Joining a bad zerg has the opposite effect tho.

In PvE, run to all WP and POI and you will run accross alot of Dynamic Events on your way. Do them all. Try to make a group and you can do the group events aswell real quick, without the need of random players to run accross the same event. Ignore hearts and vistas, they just take up valuable time to complete another event somewhere else.

Play in a guild that help you out with exp boosts.

This is how I work with my guild members that hasnt yet reached level 80 and want to rush there.

Hi,

As Stars We Belong is a small EU guild on blacktide, currently holding 20 members and wont go higher than 30. If you arnt on blacktide server atm, you are welcome to try us out while guesting.

Our recruitmentpost on thse forums
Our webiste

10 more free spots before hitting our limit.

Blackhat.4016:

Fire:
Lava Font
Make lava erupt from the target area.

• The damage per tick is pretty low considering most enemies will only stand in it for 1 or 2 ticks. If you stand in a lava font you should be punished for it. The CD is ok.
  => May need a small damage or AoE radius (~180) buff.

Lava Font damage is deadly as it is, if target stands inside. Immobilize your target before casting lava font, or pay attention to what your friends do around you and cast it when they immobilize the target. This is how I get my most kills in WvW.

Influence is gained from members game play. When you login the guild gain 10 influence, when you complete an dynamic event, the guild gets 2 influence, if you complete an dynamic event with a guild member the guild gets 20 influence. Nothing is taken from you for generating influence, its your actions that creates it.

If this isnt a troll post, its very sad. But if you dont trust ppl, you can always make your own guild of a cost of 1 silver.

Hi,

1. You dont give any exp away to a guild. In fact, there is no way to loose exp at all in the game.

2. Some guilds uses taxes, some dont. Join a guild that doesnt expect you to pay for thier events if you want to keep your coins to yourself.

Dont be affraid on joining a guild, you might get some new online friends

As I said, guesting is an option. The only thing you wouldnt be able to do with us is WvW, and that is just twice a week. You can then later decide if a move would be worth it to play WvW with us, but its not something Ill be forcing you to do.

16 memebers as we speak, 14 slots left untill we reach our threshold

Hi,

Im swedish aswell, but running an English speaking guild on blacktide. You are welcome to guest us to see if we fit before deciding on moving.

We always do stuff together, and always have a few ppl on during our prime time (7pm-11pm CET). We are PvX, 2 days a week we dedicate to WvW, other days we do PvE.

You’re not, however, likely to get a whole lot more of value.

I converted 1.3kk Karma to 50 gold 1 week ago from those boxes.

That’s pretty amazing. It’s also a boatload of karma. A few people have posted results and they haven’t been quite that favorable.

I guess that’s RNG for you.

Those 50 gold is from re-investment in the karma bottles you also get from the boxes. Its not from a single “run”, I repeated it untill I couldnt anymore. I spent alot more than 1.3kk karma total, but that was what I started with.

We do dungeons, pve, wvw, ect ect. More details can be found on our website

I want to wear my guilds colors but I cant seem to find any pants that goes well with the light guild armor (seems to be forgotten by the designers, compared to the medium armor that looks really nice..).

Anyone has a screenshot of a nice looking combo for light guild armor?

Ive successfully brought a dead one man guild to an alive small guild in 2 months. Heres is how I recruited.

Forums: Keep looking for players that looking for a guild on your server (so far I havnt got any willing to transfere or guest on Blacktide). If the player seems to fits in what you expect of a member of your guild, leave a short (!) message related to his/hers requierments. Send this person an ingame message aswell, sometimes I even sends an invite to the guild at the same time. Everyone I have messaged on Blacktide have joined my guild. This have turned out to be the best recruits aswell.

In game: Reqruit during your guilds primetime. I go to Lions Arch and uses the Asura gates to to the other towns. Then I go to the low zone area next to that town and post my recruit message on map chat. I repeat this until someone replies or all low zones got my message once (I dont wanna spam to much).

As Stars We Belong are located on Blacktide. We are a PvX guild and we do dungeons within the guild nearly every day, except those days we schedule for WvW. But it happens we get bored on WvW and jump into a dungeon on those days aswell

Hi Skeletron!

Your level matters very little to us, as we gladly revisit lower areas and you can participate in WvW from level 1. Only thing that stops you from playing all content with us is the level restictions on dungeons, and thats not something I decided, thats just how the game works

My timezone is +1 GMT, but we do have players -5 GMT and +11 GMT. Im often online somewhere between 5pm to 11pm my time.

If you dont mind playing in a smal scale guild, Ill gladly invite you to my guild: As Stars We Belong.
