Guild Wars 2

Adding 25% passive Movement Speed to a signet (Inspiration?) or some other ability (Decoy, Blink, etc.) would be nice.

katonium.1035:

probably the most ridiculous glitch/hacking I have seen , one engineer from CD or Yak hiding UNDERGROUND inside Klovan( I can see the projectiles from ground) , kept throwing grenades to the gate for a long time til now, though the effect could be ignored except for the false alarm on tower.

We have had this happen to us but when fighting other servers. Please report it to Anet. Also if you do see it is a Yak’s Bend player exploiting, whisper any YB Commander or post on yaksbend.com with a screenshot if you have and we will take care of it.

Yak’s Bend does not tolerate exploiting.

Sovereign.1093:

Hehe, that’s called exploiting. If you know how to do it, please don’t do it. ^.^

Well its not like you can do anything in there except annoy people and I have meet some great people in the last match up just standing on the edge of the spawn but yes when points matter and the match is not such a blow out then no one should be doing stuff like that… Anyway see you on the batte field

You can see how many golems the opposition has. You can also kill merchants. It is exploiting.

shanmugong.6750:

A video dedicated to everyone in this matchup. We made this while waiting at the EB spawn point, outmanned, for enough people to come in.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__R--7PzRc0

Haha loved it.

I 1v30 players all the time. Often those 30 are invisible until it is too late. I assume that I was also invisible to them because if they saw me in time, those 30 would have run away.

That video is a great example to show culling doesn’t seem to be any better than it was before and in some cases worse.

Ironvos.9014:

Yes it has always been shredding.
And i prefer them to keep it that way, who knows changing that tooltip may introduce new bugs :p

LOL so true.

That is what I thought, thanks for confirming.

Someone refresh my memory, does Time Warp have a player limit and if so, is it 5?

I think it does but can’t remember if it is 5 or not.

You can buy exotic Rabid rings and accessories with Karma? Where?

I have over 1 million Karma. I bought the green Aquabreather.

Anet said the Exploration Star has been fixed but I myself haven’t been able to confirm it yet.

Always put your first 5 points into Illusions first. Always.

Nanoha.3892:

Why is this being comapared to mesmer portal? Portal in no way allows you to cross gaps unless you have already crossed them, rtl in that sense is superior.

Should be compared to Mesmer Blink which also doesn’t allow Mesmers to cross most gaps.

Musty.3148:

This was probably stated but…

PLEASE get rid of mob rally. (I’d even argue get rid of rally from kill totally!)
No rez from Defeated state.
Force respawn with a timer when defeated.
Homogonize downed state abilities.
Make rezzing MUCH slower.

Or you could just get rid of the whole kitten thing!

I totally disagree with everything you suggested.

Mob rally is great.
Downed state is fine.
Res from defeated state is great.

The current downed mechanics are fine with the exception of players being able to stay in defeated state and spy on what is going on.

Suralin.3947:

4) Set a timer on the breakout event. If the event is not achieved in that time, reset the Commander to prevent Defenders from keeping the Commander alive and preventing another breakout event.

This.

It seems keeping the breakout commander alive stops future breakouts. This needs to be fixed.

The Breakout allows smaller guilds or groups of players to take a tower when maybe they would not be able to. It also is a big welcome to newbies of wvw showing them the excitement of taking a tower, regardless if they are on the dominating server or not.

Everyone will have a different opinion of what they like or dislike. Just play each of those classes to like level 20 which should give you a good idea on what the class is like.

They won’t be manually adjusted.

TheDevilWithinU.7092:

Sea of Sorrows, Jade Quarry, Blackgate or Sanctum of Rall.

All four servers are currently the most populated inside of WvW.

Corrected.

Here is the difference between Tier 8 (no queue) and Tier 1 (long queue).

Traits or lack of.

Ninja nerfed.

Last chance to transfer (for free) to the infamous Yak’s Bend. Come join our alliance and see what the definition of ‘community’ is all about.

http://www.yaksbend.com

We knew that Mag and IoJ were working together all along.

Now we have proof!

It’s a terrain exploit. You may think you are doing no harm (other than if you decide to kill merchants) but a lot of servers hide their golems in there which the other servers should not be privy to.

Kazhiel.8194:

Confusion on clone death, and the other traits that say on death, doesn’t work with shatters, only when someone kills your clone.

AFAIK, also works when you replace your clone with another clone.

Maguuma didn’t destroy the competition, the upcoming deadline for free transfers did.

Well LoJ lost approx. 19? wvw guilds at the start of the match and now barely have the numbers to fight off the Skritt and Centaurs that hit the NE supply camp.

Maguuma became a bandwagon server with a large population influx that is propelling them up 3-4 spots this week.

Yak’s Bend stayed about the same at the beginning of the week but since we are no competition to Maguuma this week, we decided to take the week off and have fun running Karma Trains of upleveled alts for Karma, XP, gold, Poi’s, etc., do dungeon PvE, or just take the week off. Yak’s Bend may end up doing the same thing next week when we meet up with the next bandwagon server, Kaineng.

Then free transfers will end and I predict it may take a few weeks to a month for the tiers to stabilize.

cesmode.4257:

Do you Yaks folks think a Yaks vs IoJ vs (insert server here) would be a good matchup?

I think if we didnt have the massive guuma zergs on every map that we could actually have some decent battles and maybe a halfway balanced map. I still think even Yaks outnumbers us, but at least we’ll have a fighting chance

I don’t think any fight that includes IoJ would be fair to IoJ at the moment due to their lack of numbers. Hopefully IoJ can rebuild and rebound soon.

Neves.2905:

YB, you tried to brute force Overlook and we pushed you back, you’re going to get camped for a minute. Any action has an equal and opposite reaction. >:)

lol 12 people is brute forcing it… vs 30+ magzergmas. Yeah, hokay. /eyeroll

Were you even there? YB portal bombed north gate with two golems, pushed with another golem and there were at least 30 Yaks, maybe more – I couldn’t see because of culling. Hokay?

You are correct, there we at least 30 YB there as it was the Karma Train made up of mostly up-leveled alts. It was fun to show a lot of newbies wvw though.

LoL with the population of Tier 1 & 2 servers, you’ll probably be stuck in overflow for a long time. Better to pick a low population server imo.

Pinko.2076:

Yaks is losing from numbers, but I’m not sure how you guys keep handwaving away when you lose even numbers. Reset night borderland gone in 10 minutes, and 2 days ago queued our borderland and walked away with a single tower to show for it.

We don’t expect you to win, but hearing that you don’t have the numbers constantly is sad when you queue our borderland to try and ninja a keep, get a response, then leave when the main zerg gets wiped 3 times.

Oh you ran into our Choo Choo Karma Train Upleveled Alts Zerg (CCKTUAZ) ‘pronounced ’cawk-2-as’. Sorry we had to leave, your map was out of Karma and cookies. Don’t get angry.

Littlefeather.8623:

I hope the people who have a great dislike for zergs go to a t8-t7 server where they belong. One person thinking their making any noticeable difference soloing a Sentry point guard does not belong in higher tiers IMO. I know a lot of people (including my guildies) will troll me for this reply, but in my honest opinion; If you are not organized I just assume you are soloing moa birds your a part of the problem, part of the problem why I can not get two rams up. Or part of the problem why your server mates were wiped due to being outmanned due to those people who complain like a child “I dont like zergs” well, explain that to your server mates who just got wiped.

I would say no one really loves or ‘likes’ zergs so much as tolerates them as a necessary evil in the current game design of WvW. Zergs take much of the what WvW ‘could be’ out of the game. Mind you it’s not the fault of the players at all. Zergs are simply the most effective way to WvW and the greater the population the more effective it is. It really will be on Anet to somehow come up with solutions to make zergs less necessary in the capture and control or WvW.

However as you move down the tiers, other non-zerg strategies do seem to be somewhat effective. No one is saying soloing in WvW is effective.

Run all 3 paths of AC once per day. A full run takes about an hour if everyone is 80 and knows what they are doing. Make sure you use Omnomberry Bars for the magic find and gold find bonus. You’ll easily pull 2g in that hour plus any other rares/exotics that you could salvage or sell.

Yak’s Bend is still looking for more!

Pirate Peg Legs in WvW > All

/thread

It doesn’t really matter in the end. With limits on WvW maps, Tier 1 & 2 players will and do enjoy 5 hour wait times to get into WvW.

Good luck to all those recently population inflated servers like DB, Mag and Kain. It will be interesting to see if there is any mass exodus out when one of them loses. The expected longer queue times and unfortunate and inevitable more zerginess that will follow may also cause people to reconsider their moves to these servers.

I tried to find the Fight Club last night but it wasn’t there.

Make sure you use Omnomberry Bars for the increase in magic and gold find. You will walk out a lot richer, especially on AC runs.

I think this would be impossible as you can have illusions on different targets as intended. Really, Mesmer isn’t a pet class so I see no reason to keep them running around with you like a ranger or necro.

Hey Grimms, you still running 0/20/20/0/30 or 0/20/30/0/20 from your original post? What traits are you finding the most beneficial?

Define ‘ahead’ exactly?

JarXLite.6720:

Hey look! We took our own IoJ garrison… finally…

IoJ had their own Garrison last night. I had to look twice at the map to make sure my vision was working correctly. Good job IoJ!

If you already haven’t made your mind up, consider Yak’s Bend. We have a lot to offer including a free 1000 slot Mumble, the Yak’s Bend Alliance, Weekly Commander meetings, Karma Trains and a professional and courteous community.

http://yaksbend.com

We have a few Australians in Badger Spirits [BS] on Yak’s Bend and they don’t seem to have any more or less connectivity or other issues than other American or Canadians players.

Sol.4310:

What happened to Yak’s, I understand why IoJ is having problems. But Yak’s can’t of lost that many, one of problems I’ve seen with Yak’s groups you guys run 80% low levels where Mag runs 80% geared lvl 80’s….

The last couple of nights and probably for the rest of the week, a lot of Yak’s have decided to join the Karma Train which mostly is a zerg that grows in size (up to 60+ players), mostly under leveled alts and PvE’rs new to WvW, who take smaller objectives and flip maps constantly for the goal of Karma, XP, gold, Poi’s, Vista’s, etc.

We’re also showing a lot of newbies to WvW some basic tactics like where to place offensive & defensive siege, how to defend, etc. But in the end, people are having fun especially those that are burnt out on ramming their heads again Mag’s numbers and overnight capping (no offense to Maguuma at all).

Players are having fun without having to worry about what colour the map is.

Heh, our zerg of 60+ under leveled players almost took SM last night but under leveled = squishy

I don’t want to play a pet class. Mesmer is not a pet class. Shatters are the basis of the class. Sorry, your ideas are terrible.

dreztina.4820:

At duels, about 20 Mags, one person from YB, and two from IOJ.

Edit: And once again, YB rolls duels with a zerg. You guys may think I’m being unfair and overgeneralizing, but there’s a reason I say the things I do about your server.

I should clarify. The YB zerg rolled into the duels. They got rolled out.

Next time have the duels on a less busy borderland. Not many of us really want to come and spend time dueling when others were waiting in queue.
