Guild Wars 2

…can’t keep it up

I like the idea a lot – I’d like it even more if we (Maguuma) actually made it to gold league.

Exactly! If they aren’t willing to pay to be able to play the way wvwvw is meant to be played (T1), they don’t deserve a reward.

please go on…

Most people on the better servers won’t even be able to log in enough to get the achievements – this would just be another undeserved reward for the bad servers!

We’ll get ebay again.

Do you often speak of yourself in 3rd person?

That sounds like a really advanced filter being in place – not just a simple “ignore user”

We’re working on it.

mrstealth.6701:

The last time I ran into queue issues caused by a gvg match, we were trying to take a well defended Bay keep. A significant portion of our players were locked out of the map, and the defenders were able to easily outnumber what should have a been a full map queue.

I know we weren’t queued against you when you were crying about the horrible mag zerg in August – how long ago was that incident?

And I can send all of those stacks back to you within a second.
If you want to start the “nerf perplexity” discussion – I think that’s taking place in a few other threads.

I fully support this based on what one person from NSP is writing in one thread on one forum.

RazGerb.6173:

This match-up is so fun……….. Not really.

Wrong thread – you’re looking for the one with “Maguuma” and two others in its title – have you tried the Match-Ups?

I’m looking for that as well!

Vi Au.8341:

well it looks like there will be some competition for the last spot of gold tier between sbi sos and mag cuze i know most mag would rather have to fight blobs than not fight at all.

You’re oh so right

Shads.9468:

selan.8354:

i can siege up garrison all i want . that blob is in within 30 seconds then second gate another 30 seconds, than boom done, the rest of the bl will dissapear within 10 min max.
we never wanted to fight t1 never ever, as our guilds like good fights. no we are stuck with this and its terrible. we cant even beat tc at all.

Every single T1/t2 server I’ve fought has one big glaring problem: They’re collectively dumb as rocks. Trust me, theres plenty of fun to be had in WvW even when facing blobs by making them look really really dumb (not hard). Want to see how Maguuma handles a JQ group on a paper garrison whilst outmanned? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBCkq62-gQM

I read your post and though “Bony” – then I read your name

Pizza and Cakes increase duration – just clear the condis and enjoy an enemy who has blown his cool-downs.
Lemongrass is good against hammer trains and other things that stun or immobilize you – when you’re facing a condi class you need ways to remove or even better send back conditions.

cyyrix.6105:

Assume someone clears conditions often enough that they never eat more than half the duration. That’s still an effective 20% buff to condition duration JUST from food. It would be similar to giving power builds a food that provided +20% damage.

Wait what? They normally clear a 10s bleed after 5s but when their enemy uses condi duration food they clear them after 7s?

Why would anybody react that way?

both of you (ebay and kain) should be happy that you didn’t have to experience this from our perspective – playing hours of Sexy Beach has left me scarred for life!

The game developers want you to be able to enjoy a challenging matchup.

This week we’re winning, we’ve got the better coverage and are able to hold the buffs most of the time… Last week we were losing and SOS held the buffs.
Both weeks have been boring as hell.
When I’m buffed, I don’t enjoy my wins and when my enemy is buffed it feels like they didn’t deserve it.
If I were playing this game to get shiny things, I’d play PvE and if I wanted even fights I’d play PvP.
The joy I get out of wvwvw is winning while outnumbered because of better strategy / communication / skill. Buttlust ruins that by giving more power to the stronger server.

Shiren.9532:

rhodoc.2381:

The buff does make no sense. You cant control the buff being on you at your wish. The buffs come and goes fast and you dont even realize even it is there. It is not different than any random code gives you between 0 to 3 buff every 10 sec for 10 sec.

It is not like " Hey we are going to attack garrison but lets cap those points first then try". Even if you cap the current map out of 3, you will lose it in not time. It has no synergy with the rest of the WvW whatsoever.

Sounds like you are playing really poorly. If you are going to cap the buff, all you need is three people to hold it until reinforcements arrive (if necessary). You can very easily maintain the buff if you try. If the enemy takes it from you, it’s either because you didn’t try to hold it, they outplayed you or they sent greater numbers to the ruins to swamp your defenders and any reinforcements. If it’s the first, you played badly, if it’s the second the enemy played better than you and deserver the buff and if it’s the third, it means the buff distracted the enemy forces and pulled resources from within their keep to the ruins and resulted in a net gain for you.

There is so much whining about the buff based on arguments like yours and the answer is usually “you are doing it wrong”.

The real problem is that a lot of people don’t want the buff.
We don’t want to have it, don’t want to get it, don’t want to defend it, don’t want our enemies to have it – we just don’t want the buff at all.

Increased Yak speed, stronger gates and walls, additional workers, more supply per yak, points per stomp, all the buffs from “outnumbered” – that would all be fine.

Malediktus.9250:

Even if you have all 3 buffs for +150 its miniscule. The highest buff is crit with 21 precision per , so about 7 and 1500 health (which is one additional hit in most cases). Everything else is less than 5%. So stop complaining.

So you like playing without trinkets?

From the other thread:

think a lot of players, like you, underestimate what is actually going on, and as a result aren’t as bothered as they should be. Food and ascended gear add less than half of what blood lust does. And with a little effort any individual can get both food and ascended on their own – not so with bloodlust. Bloodlust is +50 PER stat, not total. That means 50×6=300. For one. 900 stat points for all three. That’s like having an entire extra full set of ascended trinkets. If you can’t see how huge of an advantage that is then you don’t know how stats work in this game. A huge advantage/disadvantage that the individual, unless they slap on their commander tag and zerg the ruins, has no control over.

tom.7468:

These points can be capped by 1 player that give outnumbered servers a chance to be able to actually win some fights.

No, they can not. Maybe one point can, but you cannot solo cap and hold 3. They decay fast enough that by the time you’ve capped 2, the first one decaps. You need at least 2 people to cap them, assuming you encounter 0 resistance.

The points themselves are actually relatively well designed in this way, but the psychological effect of not thinking you deserve your wins, or feeling cheated out of a win in a fight — because of an unfair stat bonus — is just extremely disheartening.

Plus, the server with the higher pop is more likely to have the buffs at any given time. I’m sure small groups can coordinate to hold the buffs for a little bit, but generally the bigger servers will just recap them pretty quickly.

South -> West -> South -> West -> Northwest -> South -> West.

Just hope you don’t meet anybody while you’re racing around.

PS: This sounds just like the kind of gameplay everybody was expecting when they entered “World vs World vs World”.

It’s not a UI bug – see

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Blacktide-took-bloodlust-only-with-1-point/first#post2888481

It’s really sad how many people didn’t even bother to take a look at the picture in thie OP…
No Devon, this is not just a UI bug. Once the timer starts running, BL is lost.

your sig – it’s just not the same without the manical laughter

But you just wrote that you “built your warrior around interrupt confusing”

Nothing more to say – whenever everybody on all borderlands gets a stat change (several actually since toughness influences condition damage with certain foods, etc…) the servers can’t handle it.

…how unexpected…

I just saw Pendulum live – they rock!

I managed to place two marks in a two minute “fight”

Aberrant.6749:

You should be able to set up most classes to be able to get away.
…
I don’t have a necro so I can’t tell you how to do it on one… but I haven’t had issues on any of my classes (including guard).

good luck

where did this thread go?

…said the person from the server where people run away while they outnumber their enemy 4:1

posting in a locked thread

I’d be ashamed to play on such a server…

are we just going to continue here or what?

DB oceanics – don’t be scared, just …. send more bags please.

Tricare.2946:

Some roaming this week. I like how in the last fight a pro [Yumm] guy doesn’t even engage and just revives people, then runs off without doing anything else.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqcrhYMpG6o

That first track just made me feel like 16 again – thank you!

wake me after Futurama

I’d like to face JQ again – they’re honourable oppo…. sorry, can’t go on, lol

Thanks for all the good fights – you’ve been great opponents and fighting you has been an honour.

Thanks to FA and JQ as well.

Some Steven Seagal for you guys:

JQ, I hope you recover from the traumatic experience that was this thread. This is T3 meta. Get comfortable with it.

you’re weird

kitten , I was constantly in the wrong place in that video :/ not my day, sorry.

Boonprot.6274:

I don’t think you realize how awful YB is as a server.

It’s quite entertaining to see Maggs complain about the same tactics they have been using for the last 2 weeks against Yaks, Zerging and setting up siege in open field. Can’t stand to be treated in the same fashion like you treat weaker servers it seems. Have a nice week!

screen shots or it didn’t happen

who are you to judge our trolls?

ah that felt good

kitten YOU AND YOUR kittenING RESPECT YOU kittenING kittenS!!!!

Why would anybody have any respect for a server populated with people who can’t fight their enemy even when they outnumber them 3 or 4 to 1?
You are bad at this game. The only reason you’re “winning” is pure numbers.
Any two maguumians can take on and kill 5 of your no-skill zerglings at any given moment while eating pizza and playing with themselves at the same time. Yes – we don’t even need our hands – we can face-roll you.

kitten, your server makes me want to transfer to an even lower-tier server because I’m feeling dirty for zerging around with Bony.

Please tell me you’re not a native speaker – this hurts my eyes and English is the third language I learned :/

kitten , now you’re blobbing the forums?

x per fection x.2096:

So in case anyone doesn’t want to read threw everything so far and wants a quick catch up here’s the run down.

-Reset happens

-Pyro runs into HzH – Pyro wins

-30 seconds later WvW charges in – Pyro wins

-5 minutes later HzH & WvW are trebbing garry, Pyro runs out – Pyro wins

-The next hour consists of HzH and WvW held up in NE tower trebbing garry and running supply for more ac’s. Wall goes down.

-The hour after that consists of HzH and WvW held up in NE tower building more ac’s.

-A few of us get bored and go to JQ BL since there was no q where we run into SF, SF stands on the wall of keep and kind of comes out but never really get out of dodging distance from the portal.

-HzH gets mad because TyE built an exploited Treb to take down the wall @ NE tower because HzH and WvW wouldn’t come out to play.

-We explain to them why and they say they don’t run and hide even though I show then ze video.

-There is talks of GvG but HzH thinks that any guilds that sign up for Gvg web site are arrogant. GvG in “Guild Wars” is obviously not what’s suppose to happen.

-Âchillæs explains to us that JQ is full of good players that moved up from lower servers but have forgotten how to open field because their Mesmers are unable to switch skills and that all they have is staff ele’s. Also no one has more than one set of armor. (fyi mag guilds are all staff ele’s because we don’t have the numbers to run anything else)

-Calvin is on DB and Mag @ the same time.

No matter how much love this post got – it needs more!
