uncooperative pugs are often the cancer of the community.

Fixed that for you!

Quite the opposite. I see uncooperative guilds way more often than uncooperative pugs, because well like 90% of the WvW guilds are uncooperative in my view.

You have a very narrow view.

It’s harder to notice 20 random pugs who will not cooperate, as they don’t talk much, if at all, and you only see them mixed in here and there.

It’s much EASIER to notice a guild of 20 that is being uncooperative, as they are more likely to be vocal, and you can actually SEE them easily as a large group.

So you will remember the uncooperative guild, and not all the uncooperative randoms.

I don’t know what server you are on that you experience this, but I suggest transferring elsewhere. I don’t see this happen on my server.

You have a very narrow view.

It’s harder to notice if a guild of 20 will or will not cooperate, as they don’t talk much, if at all, and if they do it’s all abuse.

It’s much EASIER to notice a pug of 20 that is being uncooperative, as they are…… wait for it…… pugs.

Ps, see what i did there?

Yeah…. I saw you try. Maybe next time :/

Lol. Nice try you did there. Better luck next time bro. I’ll give you a 2/10 just coz I know you’re trying hard

You were that kid in school that continued to repeat others incessantly even though it meant you would make no friends.

Nah I’m just that guy that likes to throw peoples own techniques back in their face to see them get uncomfortable lol. On 2 occasions in this thread you have taken peoples words and thrown em back in their face by tweaking a few words here and there.

Nice to know you don’t like it when it happens to you.

Game, set and match ;D

I do it with purpose and point. The things I say make sense. You do it for the sake of being annoying. If you think you’re winning…. you’re not.

FOR GRAPE JUSTICE!

killahmayne.9518:

I honestly question your claim to being a bunker ele. You have not posted any stats or anything so we could see. Nor do we know how many might stacks the warrior might of had nor the stacks of vulnerability you had either. Even then, one of my warrior builds has 2,500 armor and the most I’ve gotten hit by a kill shot is 11K.

He is definitely not a bunker ele. Either he is running blue/white items, or glass. I only ever killshot eles for 15k when they are full glass armor full glass traits with vuln on them., and I have 15-20 stacks might.

What is the point here?

You sure talk a lot someone who doesn’t even get what the point is.

Let me spell it out for you. You should never be able to 1 shot someone with full HP with any skill. Because there’s zero counter play.

And no, don’t bother to bring up backstab. That’s broken too. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

The only people it one shots are those in full zerk armor, with full zerk traits. That’s going to be a glass cannon ele, and a thief. That is also commonly with stacks of vuln on you.

There are counters to it. Let me help you.
1. The insanely obvious animation
2. The skill tracks you, should be obvious when you’re the one being targeted.
3. Immobilizes warrior, can’t move while channeling killshot.
4. Decent duration channel time.
5. Bullet has flight time

Tools at your disposal:
1. Dodge roll, easiest one. You have 2 dodges at start, and 1 dodge per 10 seconds BASE. You can dodge most killshots just with your BASE dodge rolls.
2. Running vigor, endurance regen traits, sigils of energy and stamina.
3. Evade skills… no point in describing this.
4. Block skills, unless the warrior is running signet of might, you can block killshots.
5. Interrupts, interrupt him……
6. Blinds, can’t shoot someone if you’re blind.
7. Invuln skills. Can’t be killshotted if invuln.
8. Weakness, weakness is amazing now, a weakened killshot warrior does MUCH less damage.
9. Teleport/Leap skills. Not only to get out of range, but if these are used at the right moment, they will cause the killshot to over-compensate it’s trajectory, and it will simply miss because it went flying off in another direction.

Irrelevant when you cannot see it. There’s zero tell when the person is behind you and the alternative is really asking for the impossible, to pick out multiple warriors with rifles in a zerg to the point that I should be ignoring the attackers in melee range.

You sound like one of those posters that tell people not to fire an AOE into a zerg when you see retaliation up, which is a nonsense tip completely divorced from reality. Which makes all your tips even more lol cuz you actually seem to believe this crap.

What you have is pure broken and lazy programming by a team that’s refused to skill split.

Killshot is the result of spvp balance and it’s still OP in spvp, only slightly less so because you’re more likely to see it against 5 players. But my point stands, you cannot see it if the person fires behind you and there’s zero counter play to it. You seem to think that’s ok, and we’re not going to convince each other so we’ll just have to agree to disagree.

You won’t be able to see a LOT of skills in zerg fights. If that bothers you, go roam or play spvp. The argument that you’re trying to make is that any skill you can’t see because of a zerg fight should be nerfed. Ok, well we’d be left with no skills then. We’d all run around throwing paper towel rolls at each other for 0 damage and yell “Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt!”

I don’t think I could ever explain things to you in a way that you would understand. Go to the spvp forums and make this same post about killshot being OP, you will be laughed off the forums.

If you have a multi hit skill like engineer grenades or a flamethrower, I will absolutely tell you not to AoE the FRONT of a zerg because of ret. AOE the back of it like a sensible player would do. But ret is currently unbalanced. When life steal on crit food had no ICD it was ok, but with that nerfed, ret is just too strong vs rapid multi hit skills and needs to be re-designed.

-Dodge it
-Instantly focus him
-Go into melee

lmao…are you serious? There is zero time to dodge….huge zerg attacks….dead. Anet knows lag is the killer not necessarily the skills of the opposing team.

Lag actually hinders rifle warriors more than it helps them. It increases their cast time and makes it even easier to counter a killshot. It also means that if you’re trying to line up a penetrating killshot, the people you lined up most likely are NOT in that position anymore, and are now spread out or even out of range.

Nihevil.8024:

10. LoS’ing the warrior

But but.. open field fights! I thought open fields fights is where all the strategy and skill was! Using terrain and structures is for noobs! Real men beat each other up in open fields.

Oh yes, and I forgot to mention, You must fully trait for burst mastery to have it on a 7 3/4 second CD, with a 1 3/4 cast time that’s 9 1/2 seconds per killshot. Factor in bullet flight time and you’re looking at about 1 killshot per 10 seconds. Which is within your base endurance regen (1 dodge roll per 10 seconds, with 2 per start of engagement)

If you need more help than that, I can teach you how to read a rifle warriors build, and counter him through his build.

Most likely none…. I have 16 level 80s, that’s 26 builds. Can’t make that much armor….. Now do I play all of those? Not as much anymore, but I still run about 7-8 builds…. 7-8 sets of ascended armor and weapons? Yeah right…. that will never happen.

And LOL at learn to dodge.

Do you WvW?

Do you?

I do. And if you actually do, please get off the ivory tower on SM3 and maybe play the game sometime.

LOL learn to dodge.

I’ll be sure to turn around when I engage a thief next time so he could backstab me just so I won’t get blind sided by a killshot.

Keep those protips coming.

Here’s what I just read:

“I engaged a backstab thief and a killshot warrior at the same time, then I died. Warrior rifle must be OP!”

I have 4227 hours of playtime and I don’t afk. I also don’t PvE. I play rifle warrior regularly. I play against rifle warriors regularly as well, with many different professions and builds. I could teach you a thing or 2 if you are willing to listen.

Do you?

I think your V key might be broken, not the skill. Or perhaps its one of your many other keys which also counters killshot. What class and build are you running? I think I can help you.

Sizer.5632:

You could give warriors (or any class) an ability that hits for 50k on a 10 second cooldown and people would still say “learn to dodge” on the forums in defense of it. No wonder this game is known for such a helpful community

Try reading through the thread before posting. There have been many helpful posts telling you how to counter it.

The “Well what about in a zerg fight?” argument is… just not an argument. There are plenty of other skills you won’t see hit you either. Like an illusionary berserker, an earthshaker, etc. What is the point here? “If I can’t see it, it shouldn’t be able to hit me”? Then don’t play in large fights. Because there’s going to be a LOT of things hitting you that you won’t see. Also rifle players are of the more rare breed of warriors, as it takes keen positioning and timing to maximize effectiveness. So getting hit by a killshot should not be a very common thing for you. If it IS a common thing for you, someone is focusing you because they know you are an easy squishy kill.

Zero Day.2594:

Guys, guys,
Why are you turning to Killshot, when thief backstab is so much more OP?

Backstab has 1200 range and the ability to hit an infinite amount of targets?

Killshot is 1500 range (although it frequently gets an OUT OF RANGE bug) and it doesn’t arc like a ranger longbow shot, so it hits ONLY 1500, and no more. Killshot can’t hit an infinite amount of targets, it’s capped out on how many it can pierce (which you must trait for 20 points minimum). Also piercing that many people is not only unlikely, but someone in there has aegis, invuln, dodge, reflect, block, etc. Once it hits one of those, it stops the shot completely. Even a signet of might killshot when it hits invuln or dodge… just disappears.

What backstab does have is 0 cast time, cooldown limited only by revealed, and can be spammed until you land it. Oh yeah, and you’re INVISIBLE while you do it.

Stuff said by some ele in Abys

Dear Abys

Magnetic Aura.

Also, this skill really is f*ing BS.
1: Why is not a ranger skill?
2: What is the counter when someone uses it in a crowded situation?
3: Why does it not take trait investment to hit this hard at 1500 range?

1. Because Anet doesn’t like ranger
2. It’s still quite obvious. The warrior will be kneeling and NOT MOVING. Also going out of range is an easy counter. In skill lag a rifle warrior has a very hard time as they sit on the ground forever, and everyone has moved out of range by then or focused and kill them.
3. It DOES take trait investment to hit that hard, 30 points into the discipline tree, and 2-3 skills on your utility bar, including elite (no warbanner for friends) It also takes the person receiving it to be squishy. A standard killshot is from 6-8k with about 6 stacks of might. If you’re taking more than that, you had lots of vuln on you or you’re WAY too squishy and deserved it.

Burnfall.9573:

to those many loyal and brave souls (your forefathers), who died in real life warfare by snipers, would you blame them as well for not ‘dodging the bullet’?

would you??

Gee…… good thing this is a video game and not real life!…………………….

Xillllix.3485:

I am not the first one to say it, and I am not talking about the thief backstab which is quite tolerable considering it does only 8k dmg for a very squishy build.

But this: 10,706 dmg and 15,247 dmg Killshots within 5-6 seconds from a warrior that has more health than my quite balanced Ele, my Ele which takes 5 seconds to cast a freaking meteor that does 4k dmg to him IF it hits at all.

During the a very short time window that Warrior does about 30k dmg. I fully healed after the first Killshot which brought me to 6k health, but the second shot brought down 80% of my health, and that is only because I have a half-bunker ele with 20k hp, else its an instant one-shot kill against any normal ele.

What are we supposed to think about that sort of balancing?

1. Backstab can crit for just as much. Shorter cooldown, easier to land. instant use, no cast time.
2. If you are taking 10 and 15k killshots you are squishy and most likely have vuln stacks on you.
3. Killshot cannot be used every 5 OR 6 seconds. It’s shortest cooldown is almost 8 seconds.
4. Killshot has a long cast-time, an obvious animation, and the projectile has to travel distance. If the warrior misses he must wait 5 seconds try to use it again.
5. Killshot is extremely buggy, resulting in many short range OUT OF RANGE bugs.
6. A dodge roll, a reflect, a blind, a block, an invulnerable. You have all of these as an ele, if you chose not to bring any that’s your fault.

If you get killshotted by a warrior in small combat, you deserved it. If you get hit in a zerg fight, understandable.

Instead of crying OP everytime someone whoops your butt, try playing the thing you are attempting to talk about.

Let me guess, you’re running a ele support staff build and you want to duel a rifle warrior. Common sense just flew out the window.

I always yell “KILL THE YOUNGLINGS!” and chase after them with extreme prejudice.

And the Elitist mentality continues to grow… awwwwwwwwwll

God forbid you play an MMO to play with the community and not a small group of only guild members… God forbid you’d want help from the WvW community instead of alienating them so you can be UBER POWERFUL and UBER ELITE while you DESTROY ALL GUILDS YOU OPPOSE!!!……………

Get out of here with this nonsense and all of you who are in favor of it.

God forbid that randoms, unguildeds, and pugs try to play with the community by joining the groups on teamspeak. On blackgate we encourage all players to join us on TS. If you’re unwilling to join us, then don’t follow us.

If you want to be a casual, go be a casual. Don’t follow a hardcore, organized group if you don’t want to be hardcore or organized.

It goes both ways. Maybe you should try seeing it from both sides.

Guilds ARE the community. “Get out of here with this nonsense”

Nothing was said about TS… or playing as a community. OP clearly says that this guild just insults people and tells them not to follow. That is in no way effective at all for any community.

As others have said, if they were to politely say they are doing a guild thing or even suggest others don’t run with them, well then that’s another story.

If this happened near me, I’d troll hard… every day. Oh look, here comes the naked character again to follow the guild and become an instant rally bot.

All it takes is for 1 bad egg in map chat to make a whole guild look bad. There could be 10 other people being nice and asking, and then there could be 1 baddie who is crude, and that’s what people will remember. Or it could be a TROLL that isn’t even associated with that guild. Should think about that first.

Any vendors disappearing, or items that won’t be obtainable? Unlocks that should be achieved?

I think asura are a type of gecko. Maybe they have Gecko sex.

Really? When did it launch? I know that we can’t talk about other games here, but I’d love to see it. That would be the second stupid kitten thing I’ve seen today.

Oops I shouldn’t have said anything, we’re in the super top-secret beta.

I have over 4000 hours played in this game, I don’t leave my characters afk, and I spent the overwhelming majority of that time in WvW. So I think of myself as a WvWer. Yet I can’t afford ascended weapons, and def won’t be able to afford ascended armor. Why am I not entitled to rewards?

Brando.1374:

Best way to Handle pugs is just run around in a circle until they leave or auto run in one direction then reverse to leave them behind.

Best way is to merge with a zerg, then waypoint your force out. Or waypoint all the way home, instead of the nearest WP. Pugs always expect you to WP to the nearest.

How about they make our pets move while they attack first! After that, yes, please more pet options. I also find it unfair that HoM players have an actual advantage, they can run doubles of the same pet, which you cannot do if you don’t have those HoM pets. HoM armor and weapon skins are purely aesthetic, but the pets are an actual game changing item that not everyone can access.

I still vote no mounts, ever. The game is not designed to handle mounts. If there were mounts, zones would need to be much larger, and swiftness would need to be removed from the game.

The only way I can see mounts in this game is if they were part of a town clothes toy, and they offered no special movement speed increases.

Fractals was just the last added though. You think it will be gone before the tower and such?

Johje Holan.4607:

This is why they need to get rid of “rally” in WvW. It goes against Anet’s own design philosophy. It causes players to not want others around.

I agree the rally in its own right is a crappy PVE element that found its way into PvP/WvW….Also like the quote above said, it only encourages bad behavior on the part of people trying to competitively WvW when there is a level 3 downed person following them.

It is not fair to the low level/inexperienced players that are being berated, and it is not fair to the guild group trying to run without being rallybotted all over the place.

I disagree that rally system should be removed. I also dislike it when people say the downed system should not exist. I think it adds more dynamics to gameplay. I do however think a few things need to change. For one, you should not be allowed to play WvW unless you are of a certain level (At least 60, but I’d prefer 80) I also believe that the rally mechanic should work in a different way, maybe 2 targets you hit need to die before you can rally, or you need to have done a higher % of damage to a target so that it flags them as a target you can rally off of.

It is quite annoying to have a force, and a certain % of it is a complete unknown. They could be playing uplevels, bad builds, they could be bad or inexperienced players, you just don’t know. It’s a variable. These guilds that run tag-less and tell you not to follow them are trying to reduce their combat scenario variables.

As for the ressing thing, well… sometimes I too must run past someone who is downed, because there is a pressing issue I must attend to. I don’t like doing it, but if I realize I am reviving a lowbie and he is not in immediate threat of being killed, I most likely will stop reviving him and get back to my commander.

Seems like a lot of hassle to me.. why not just put it in the game, slap a [Testing] sticker on it and let people play it and give feedback. You’ll get the moaners, people who love it and somewhere in the middle there will be constructive feedback.

I can explain it like this:

If they let in a small amount, large glaring issues can be cleaned up quickly. Faster than just a handful of their team could find.

As the large issues get found and cleaned up, they let more people in, to find the more specific or harder to find issues.

Then they let more people in to test how it deals with load, actual full blown play, balancing, etc.

It’s not something you want to unleash the whole world on when it still has a lot of work to be done on it. A lot of the casuals would think that it’s not good, when they fail to realize that it’s not complete yet. It could then ruin the image of the update when it finally releases.

This is the closest you’ll most likely ever get to a real test. When you go and play a Battlefield Beta, or a Call of Duty beta, they aren’t really betas. They’re allowing you access to a demo pre-release so that you’ll get pumped and buy it, and tell all your friends. At most those games are testing server load, but that’s really it. This IS a real test, and the community has been helping to find and remove problem areas.

While you are waiting, if you’d like to get a good preview of mists, try doing living story stuff. The best way to describe mists is a PvE map where you can kill people.

That’s not accurate at all. It has no more and no less pve than current WvW maps.

You must not have spent much time there if you believe that. The PvE aspects are one of the new key features of the new map. Either try the map, or watch the developer live stream to get a better preview.

Well my guild was one of the first to test, so I believe I have spent an ample amount of time in it already, 10 hours or so. You do realize that in WvW we kill sentries, camps, and door guards right? Now, is there an event associated with all the pve mobs you are forced to kill in WvW? No. But it’s still PvE. Edge has just as much as normal WvW.

I think what you MEANT to say is that Edge of the mists has more buffs obtained from PvE. I could agree with that.

I often miss out on things because I didn’t know that the next patch was going to remove [BLank]. Is there anything to note about the patch tomorrow that I should take advantage of today?

Thanks guys,

It could have to do with how your camera is positioned by holding R Click. I have often noticed that when I get feared, at the end of the fear, my character will be facing whichever way I have place my camera via R Click. Try next time looking away while being feared, if you want to dodge back to him. If that doesn’t work…. bug.

Anything above about 1.5DL/0.7UP should be fine. Anything lower and you will have issues. If you’re above those speeds, the limiting factors are going to be your computer specs (for framerate) and the GW2 servers load capacity.

If you are running a speed as low as 1.5/0.7 then you should not be running ANYTHING else in your background. Even pandora will throw it off when it changes songs.

I think what would seem convincing that rangers are good is not stories from people who play them but stories from people who fight them.

You will never hear those stories. Because any self respecting player that does not play ranger will NEVER admit that he/she lost to a ranger in the first place. No matter how crushing their defeat.

^ haha so true. Back when I was roaming ranger a lot, and I would pwn a thief, or some cheese build, I always wondered “Do you think he will tell his friends he just got slapped by a ranger?”

Good idea, +1. Lets not waste glory boosters! I have over 200 left still and I can’t use them fast enough!

I wasn’t on the scout list Choc. BAD CHOC!

I used to play a hybrid beastmaster with shortbow / greatsword and wolf / panther. I had a lot of fun back in the day and I very seldom lost a duel. I often even went 1v2 with great success, and with careful timing, I even won some duels from down state. I stopped playing it after several unwarranted nerfs. Pet swap haste stomp was removed, pet damage was reduced, healing spring used to give a lot of vigor through traits, and range of shortbow was severely reduced.

Is that character and that build still capable of dueling and roaming? Sure. But I just started to dislike how every patch seemed to nerf ranger for reasons I could not understand. Also I don’t play ranger much these days because I grew very tired of Anet never addressing the issue of how easy it is to kite my pets. If they would attack on the move, things would be different, and all these balancing changes could make sense. But since any enemy with perma swiftness can avoid 90% of my pets damage…. what warrants continual nerfs?

When I make asura characters, it’s because I want the tactical advantage they offer. They are harder to pick out of a group, harder to read the animations of. In WvW they have a huge advantage over the other races.

I also like the race for their look, but I am very disappointed with how all their armors fit and look.

Removing a race from pvp makes no sense. I have no trouble killing an asura noob on my norn. Maybe get some glasses

Fixed that for yah!

A 1000 guilds have been invited. The guild i’m in is one of the biggest active WvW guilds currently on SoR with both NA and EU coverage, and yet not invited yet.

Really makes me wonder how much RNG Anet’s selection process is.

It’s not RNG. They’ve been selecting specifically and with purpose.
