Guild Wars 2

I don’t know what to say.

joshisanonymous.5270:

Is it actually being caused just by being in the same zone as many of other players?

Yes. Specifically when there is a large zerg vs zerg fight. It will affect the whole zone. Proximity to the fight doesn’t matter.

I think he’s saying:

1) got killed in a PvP zone

2) got jimmies rustled due to his murderer taunting him postmortem

3) contacted the person who murdered him in PvP zone and informed the murderer that he is having some tough IRL issues (my sincere condolences, but it has no bearing on PvP in a PvP zone)

4) has forgiven his murderer for killing him in a PvP zone

Drtrider.6314:

If players are dedicated, and involved in the WvW community, allot of the rewards come quite easily.

No.

Aside from the kills achievement, none of the achievements are possible in any sort of reasonable timeframe. The maths have been posted many times.

What I want to know is: how are the 6 sections actually divided? What is each section’s true value? They clearly cannot be evenly split (5000/6 = repeating decimal). It makes my eye twitch.

I agree with and support the OP.

I don’t think the limit is 20:

Loved the commentary on the first vid (especially your comments about GC builds).

Saw you guys at north-north camp yesterday, on YB BL I think it was. Caught myself doing a double-take since I recognized your tag and then realized you were Maguumans once again.

Also noticed my on-again-off-again-lover Potato rocking your tag. He sucks, gkick him immediately. Will be fun seeing you guys around

Burnfall posts stuff like this in every Thief thread. Just ignore him.

For anyone who played EverQuest 1, he is the Battleblade of GW2.

Will use it as fuel to cry myself to sleep tonight.

The Goat.1940:

I think we can all agree, the overall score directly reflects the overall competency and skill of a server in all areas of gameplay; including but not limited to: 1v1, roaming & zerging. With that said both yaks and mag are clearly out classed and out skilled in every possible way imaginable. DB has the juice!!!!

If by juice you mean 3 times the amount of people that Mag and YB have combined, then yes, yes you do.

that sir. in an untrue statement; both mag and yaks have superior volumes of players and coverage. in fact, mags SEA population is amazing. now YOU have the juice!!!

Then tell me oh knowledgeable one how YB never has a queue even at peak hours and we have the outmanned buff more often than not?

So if you want to keep them around, type “lol run”

You do you know enemies can’t read anything you say, right?

Well I’m more of an sPvP kind of guy

Gotcha. In WvW, the only way to communicate with an enemy player is to join their party.

Nikkinella.8254:

The very existence of those traps are proof of how OP thief is. It’s proof that other classes have no inherent way of countering stealth.

Stealth traps were added as a counter to stop a perma-stealthing Thief from reviving a Mesmer inside a tower/keep. Not as a counter for getting ganked (although it can be used as such).

Please keep the confirmation bias to a minimum.

Brilliant thank you for assisting my thread nice to know 9000 or people alsofeels it stupid!

90% players is so bad in PvP,PvE, 8% players are good players who learned to play against all classes, just only 2% of the players are pros.

You’re in category 90%.

Hah. Funny that you used those specific values. My buddy and I have a term we throw around a lot when talking about GW2 players: the 90%ers.

tldr; high-five for accurate post.

GDI I’m at work and missing sweet, sweet keep WXP.

Right now, we have a lot of balls in the air, so it’s less possible for us to post frequently.

It’s ball-sweatingly hot where you are too? I’m not sure sitting like that will help tbh, but I’ll give it a go.

You got a legitimate lol from me with that post. Well played, sir.

This is precisely why I made Quip to run as my off-hand weapon. Every time I Black Powder it makes the sound effect

Extra fun when doing BP for a stomp.

Haters gonna hate.

Field skirmishing is overrated

I like that ANet made a PvP mode where people can say this.

Quoted for emphasis.

Calvin.5380:

“Maguuma roamers” is an oxymoron

magbad?

Mag roamers are worst roamers.

Wick.1280:

Maguuma has a higher post count than WvW kills.

Just say “scoreboard” next time. You’re wasting precious electrons!

TC trolls would do well to learn from Calvin.

Its just like the RTL, confusion, and retaliation defense forces.

I play a Thief (and only a Thief these days) and Confusion/Retaliation were my worst enemies. I don’t think either of those should have been nerfed. RTL shouldn’t have been nerfed as severely as it was either.

L2P

“No arguments, just spouting how they have no trouble with it and you need to l2p.”

Never change defense force, never change.

Calling for nerfs is easier than adapting.

Actually I’m a Tpvper, so I prefer small-scale fights. Unfortunately Maguuma fails to bring any challenge to those…

I spent the first 5 months of the game on Blackgate. I know what comprises T1 and T2. There’s a reason I transferred to Mag.

PariahX.6970:

but it would be great to see WvW included in the unfolding world of Tyria a bit more.

For one random weekend (unannounced), make Lion’s Arch and all 5 home cities flagged for PvP.

Burnfall: your post history is extremely entertaining (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/members/Burnfall-9573/showposts). Keep up the great work.

Yours truly,
A Thief

Clearly they need more overlords to keep them motivated.

Golems are the only siege that I like.

Leashing in this game is pretty weird.

Torque.2948:

I guess you have to resort to these type of things when you have that big a gap in numbers, eh.

Do you even 300 bro?

FA and Mag were getting along in EB JP last night! At least while I was there. Everyone was getting the Kite achievement.

I don’t like PvE, but sometimes you gotta get dat swag.

Not WvW, but somewhat relevant:

Deniara Devious.3948

The word stealth is not same as invisibility.

In GW2 it is.

Deniara Devious.3948:

my suggestion make stealthed players appear semi-transparent to their enemies

I don’t understand why people keep suggesting this. Kind-of-visible is still visible.

Stealth is mitigation via avoidance by virtue of not being visible (although you still take damage while not visible). If a shadow/shimmer/whatever existed, there would be no avoidance. A lot of players are bad but they aren’t THAT bad. Well, maybe some.

Tribio.8531:

Condition removal -> Confusion countered
Regeneration -> Retalation countered
? -> Stealth countered

See the point?

I wasn’t talking broadly, I was talking about my personal experience with Retal/Confusion. However, if you want to talk broadly, the counter to stealth is: give Thief Protection and/or Invul skills. I’ve posted this before: Thief has no on-demand access to Protection/Invul. That is why Thief was given Stealth.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Invulnerability

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Protection

Tribio.8531:

So is my assumption correct that during all those months in WvW with those chars you were never bugged by a thief that tried to kill you, didn’t succeed, and then just stealthed away?

Happened all the time. I got ganked or they reset the fight. I didn’t QQ because I understood that each class excels in a certain situation. I’m not sure what you are asking.

Tribio.8531:

Oh, so you find it normal that the only counter we have against stealth requires the investment of karma and badges? How would you QQ if you’d have to remove the bleeding from a ranger with a “anti ranger bleed” tissue you’d have to buy at a karma vendor?

I don’t QQ about other class abilities. Hence my reference to Confusion and Retaliation, both of which were strong counters to Thief. Same with the pre-nerf Regen Bunker Ranger build, which I had a very hard time fighting against. I did not demand anything be done about these.

Tribio.8531:

Seriously, you love your thief, that’s clear.. But try to see why people are so much complaining about them.. And if you can’t: Roll any other class and go roam a bit in WvW..

I have all 8 classes at 80, like many people do. About 50% of leveling was done in WvW, for all classes. I mained a Warrior for 5 months but got bored with the one-dimensional playstyle. I played a staff Ele as a secondary character for ZvZ for ~3 months. I got ganked a lot on that Ele. I did not make any threads requesting that X class that ganked me be nerfed.

LordByron.8369:

how about stealth removing 50 Silver from your accoutn each time u use it?
Would still be better than stealth trap….

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Stealth_Disruptor_Trap

Karma is free and 15 badges is a reasonable cost for completely negating a class mechanic, especially considering the effect is AOE. That said, you could lower the cost to 1-5 badges and people still wouldn’t use them.

Also, they can be obtained for free via WvW rank chests. I’ve personally received 3 so far.

Tribio.8531:

and don’t mention stealth traps, or I’ll have you eat them

1) ANet creates the only hard-counter to a class mechanic in game.
2) People don’t use this hard-counter and continue to QQ.

Pretty much the WvW population in a nutshell. RIP Confusion and Retaliation.

Chorazin.4107:

For roaming and ganking some classes are just far and away better than others, like Thieves. I dont see how this is even debatable, i think the amount of “omgzlol nerf thieFFss” threads you see tells a story all its own. Having said that im kind of unsure why everyone doesnt just roll 1 lol.

Kind of like how some classes are far and away better in ZvZ (Guardian, Ele, Mesmer). Thief is almost useless in this format.

People just QQ about losing 1v1 and feel the need to make threads about it. Surprise, no class (or player) is good at everything.

Pinko.2076:

Is this one of those times where TC posts against things that never happened?

This new TC is baffling. I miss the old TC from my days on BG.

Xirin.8593:

Shrouded.6450:

Oh I know him, he does have a point though and he does know how to talk to you guys.

So you know he’s a troll? In that case, your initial response to my post makes even less sense.

Yes no one understands me. And I’m going to keep repeating this point for a couple more pages without any clarification and explanation because that’s just how I roll…

It isn’t my fault you got defensive about a non-serious response to a troll.

GuardianOMS.8067:

Shrouded.6450:

Why don’t you party people and ask for a duel?

Can we still tell to the whole forums so that people would hear it again on how we beat them with even numbers for the seven hundreth seventy seven times?

Um, what?

I think it’s Shinobii’s alt account.

So speaking of spawn camping… You had balli’s at all exits+players I don’t think Mag can complain if we spawn camp anymore?

But I thought you guys were the honorable server, so it should still make you feel dirty for doing it, right?? Or are you okay being on our level?

I’m just saying you can’t complain I never said anything about us planning on doing it. I still hate spawn camping but seeing you guys complain about it then pull this is kinda funny

I just searched this thread for “spawn” and the only things I got were us camping EB JP spawn, some weird stuff about TF2, and this. Can you kindly link me to where we were complaining?

Either TC is trolling the living jeebies out of us the last 2 pages or they fail horribly at reading comprehension.

I leave the conclusion up to you.
