Guild Wars 2

Okay wassup with all the please remove this siege, fix that siege talk. First its the cata gate issue, now arrow carts lol? Build catas in the field, put balistas and Arrow carts next to them, its really a simple counter, put enough ppl between your enemy and your siege and stay out of the enemy arrow cart range. About the winning server having more blueprints, most do jumping puzzles for free prints, if you have trouble doing those, kill more players in supply camp fights for badges and buy more siege. You cant really punish the winners for using some siege when the losing team could if they choose to outsiege them too.

Dunno about your second issue with the aoe circles, but speaking as a mesmer we do actually manually target siege(keep in mind the ele’s and rangers do not havto do this they get to randomly throw their aoe up on top). We find little slivers to latch a target to, or, as most ppl dont understand that we do this, we click on players on the edge that are actually so close to their siege standing on the edge of the walls that both the siege and those players get hit. Simple counter to mesmer clones is keep 1-2 ppl that u know can one shot the clones on the siege you want protected while another fires it. For most mesmers it takes us at least 5-8 beserkers to take down any siege, more if its a treb. Those clones have a decent cooldown and u can keep destroying them. More or less push back the mesmers doing it faster and your siege still stands. More or less the same as an ele/ranger hitting the siege, push/kill them no more aoe on your siege. About the cata issue, unless its red/blue/green(lake) tower the cata’s can be set up out of range of being targeted by us, I often set my catas where i know i wont be hit.

Well while i dont doubt maguumas being legit, the game did bug out on a lot of us, Showed you had 400 supply, while inside, it bugged for like a min, i fell outside the outer wall and the supply showed 1050, then i went back inside and it was back to its origional amount well 385 some had been used. This week the game has really been buggy, enemy NPCs spawning in towers/keeps, gates that dont show they have broken causing ppl to pass through. rendering of mass groups of players being way way way slow even for top notch comps. So i think that sortof clears the earlier issue up, we all saw the castle bug out from our end but remember there were 3 servers with about 40-50 players each inside, so much lag in one spot that could easily force a bug like that.

oh wow, good catch then, wish it was said it wasnt a mesmer earlier now all my other posts feel unnecessary lol. But i do understand why it took time, you had to protect your privacy by blurring out a few things. Most dont go to such lengths but should sometimes. Yea that had to have happened when i wasnt up there cause i didnt see any1 from that guild up there where i was.

Agreed despite the allegations against me that battle was one of the best so far of this matchup. Had to think outside the box and grow a pair to even pull off some of the moves I did in there. Turned into a three way battle, you maguumas defended hard and won the battle there. I look forward to the next few attempts on the keep. your guys placed siege really well and quick too. So please, if you think there is an issue why not talk to us about how or why before coming here to accuse/report, our guys should do the same, I believe we all know how to server to server player chat by now.

I do remember exactly the point where the person that reported me thought i hacked up, i had been up there a while(using the method in my earlier post) thought we had guys on the bottom (none were coordinated enough to jump into the portal at the time) so i ported up straight into maguumas killing the guys i had guarding me and i got launched off to my death. So yea that would prob be the flashing up u saw, totally legit mesmer portaling when i had already been up there and opened it went back through and fell to my death due to all the ppl on me. But honestly if i havto explain more details about how legit this was done then why not call everything and everyone in the game hackers.

I gotta respond to this because i was the mesmer you claimed hacked to the third floor. Let me first explain how i got there. First i was outside the main hallway of SM, used veil(mesmer stealth skill) when that wore off i still hadnt been hit amazingly, then i used mass invisibility(elite mesmer stealth skill), then used curtain twice to keep my speed up and get defenders off my tail. And I made it to the top of stonemist twice doing this. So do not claim hacks because you werent paying attention during the chaos. Your defenders that were chasing me up there know i got there through legit mesmer skills. The fact they didnt call for help allowed me to port people up with only 2 guys protecting me that also made it up alongside me running the same gauntlet. Really hate that you would be so quick to accuse and report. If i need to fraps me running through the gauntlet again ill be happy to do so. Keep the accusations under control guys.

Eh, if you want catapults to not do splash dmg to the walls from the inside, then I assume trebs and cats from the outside shouldnt be able to splash through to the inside too right? Cause I mean thats they only fair thing to do here if you want to take out the defense of the position. Trebs can splash walls that they dont even hit and still take them down, arrow carts can be used instead of cats too from the inside on the door and still hit enemies outside. Lets please not risk a horrible change to one aspect of the game that adds a lil defense that can be countered. The current catapult abilities are fine. To remove the cat ability or change it, you would 1) need to extend the walls so aoes cannont take out siege up there, 2) make the camera more mobile while on set siege so you can actually see all the places in range of your siege instead of just guessing, 3) stop splash damage from the outside(yes splash should work both ways punish one side u should punish the other) from causing the guys inside not to be able to repair + skills by players to do so. As it is, there is just too much involved in messing with just the catapult, its really the only viable defensive tool to use if the other issues arent addressed at the same time. So dont complain about it, learn to counter it, and work with how the game is for now, I’m sure we have all seen how bad hasty nerfs to any one thing can be to games.

I’ve withheld any negative infighting views mostly(save one post i deleted shortly after posting it) and I really dont like posting here unless its positive. Honestly most of the drama in darkhaven is basically the (idea of the alliance) fault. There are always going to be those few elitists that think they are above everyone else and that they can do no wrong even when they have done wrong multiple times. When any1 defies the alliance system the few popular kids leading the alliances will start a smear campaign that basically asks for an anti smear campaign. This is what happens in any game though, so dont get me wrong im not blaming any1 in particular here. Politics and egotism ruin the fun that games are supposed to be about. People feel the need to defend themselves when trashed by the others on forums(also what forums are about) if there isnt trashing then kudos you stumbled upon a miracle. To try and calm the fire in either side once its started is also pointless till the thread dies down into the depths. Best option for both sides in the smear campaign, let the thread die after reset, settle it on the field of battle or in whisper chat. For all those non DH I would have instantly gone on an anti smear campaign this morning but for some reason I’m calm and thinking clearly today instead of raging at whats been going on. More or less thats all that needs to be done, think clearly then speak, if you dont have facts + proof of those facts do not accuse others of any wrongdoing in the open. Its all good tho, W3 will not die due to a few harsh words. Was fun fighting both CD and Yaks hope to see you guys in future matchups till then take care.

I have rethought my decision to post my views thanks to a wise yaks words ty bro i posted in the heat of the moment and for that i do appologize. On a good note its been a blast fighting tooth and nail with YB and CD especially the 3-4 hour siege by you guys and CD against us at SH, me and my guildies paid for the upgrades there and defended it while it got to that point, glad it ended in an epic battle to nearly the last man. Looking forward to finishing the week with even more fun battles, DH may be third but we’re certainly not out of fight, scores and must win attitudes ruin the “fun” that is W3’s objective. I do want to win, but winning without having fun is pointless too. So there is a balance somewhere there, find what makes W3 fun for you and do it thats all there is to it. Avoid the politics among alliances or commanders if need be, there are some very good players without the titles that can lead too remember that please. Hell I didnt want to most times but I found myself leading small capping zergs and you know what we did really well in that we caused a lot of trouble for the enemy once even screwing up a golem crash on DB in CD BL lol.
