Guild Wars 2

after this season please throw this idea away

WvWvW <———— when you have to double team a server it just means you are not good enough on your own to win….so while you may win in points your server still isn’t upto the level of the “boss” server.

the top dog should know why this is happening and blame the game mechanics, and pity the 2 servers that have to resort to silly double team.

and if you look at the matchup…..aren’t you supposed to be playing other servers in the league? there’s SoS doing just fine….how come they aren’t going against those 2 other servers and BG going against maguuma and DB……

BECAUSE it’s flawed and a human is matching up the servers and breaking it’s own guidelines for matchups, so it’s time to blame the game not the players.

I’d tank the whole kitten thing until the matchup gets you outta the 2v1 and tell anet to follow it’s own guidelines regarding matchups

but im on the outside looking in hehe.

good luck BG

Personally I am enjoying the break from new content, it does get quite tedious every 2 weeks more grindage to endure.

Kaga.7629:

Hello. My name is Kaga, and for now 3 weeks I’ve been blue, which means the worst spot in edge : Frostreach. The fantastic Ice Palace. In a way, it reminds me of Maguuma proper, since you’re always outnumbered.

And lo, the great dual comms strategy emerged, and team Kaga & friends went to work on perfecting that defense, farming the zergs coming in, reaping us a great baggie harvest with a generous side of zergling tears. The anguish generated by operation defense for the past 2 weeks had escaped the confines of the overflows, and is now on blast on the forums. AND I REJOICE !

The defenses (events) and the retakes do give rewards. But killing zergs 3 to 4 times your numbers feels much better. Against the grain of the karmatrainers that believe you should let it be capped and just recap it, The ice castle got defended against overwhelming odds. A great many defenses ( for season) and kills were obtained by the happy edgerunners of Frostreach.

And by the time the enemies fear and back off the slice … then the raids begin. Unless spotted and acted upon quickly, Kaga’s infamous sneakystyle raids have produced dragonite for the hardworking defenders of frostkeep. Because tactics do serve a purpose in edge of the myst.

If i’m around and running things, beware! Commander Kaga farms j00, ktrainer ! (And yes, I’ve had 4 hour frostkeep flawless defense matches. )

Oh, and this was found this week . Made my day ! http://captiongenerator.com/15883/Eotm-Karma-Train

and this pretty much sums up what is happening, it’s the commanders that decide to Ktrain and not jump back to keep and help defend our slice, SO it’s the terribad commanders that are causing this EotM debacle.

Anet can’t fix bad commanders people can fix bad commanders, by just waypointing and running to defend something for 2 minutes (or less) then run back to the tag.

and PvD people make soooo many bags and WxP for me when they come to my side of the map I am now torn between wanting to get rid of the Ktrain or promote it because the loots/wxp are just so great (more than champs by far!)

people like Kaga have figured it out, do BOTH it really is amazing (until the other color QQ and quits the map)

EotM is a great map, it WAS played the way it was intended, but people want easy rewards. honestly how fast can you spend your karma? I have never had a Karma issue because everything rewards it, so I don’t understand why people seem to declare that the need the karma train in EotM.

lately I’ve been noticing that people who like to defend do exist, and they are growing in EotM, simply because the other colors are like sheep to the slaughter when they go up against something that is defended, and the bags OMG the bags of loot.

so keep Ktraining or whatever you want to call it, I appreciate the bags you give when you come knocking on my doors

how about a penalty for dying hmmmm? put some of that precious karma on the line when you want to PvD.

Karma is easy to get, I’m not sure why it is so plentiful, so let’s drop karma rewards in WvW, and the badges rewards are on par with the cost of buying those nifty toys in EotM.

and let’s try to increase the RI and award badges exp/wxp/karma for defending.

or a bigger penalty for losing your corner.

OR remove access to EotM from every server that has at least 1 wvw map not queue’d heheh

Blame bad commanders; simple as that.

and don’t be afraid of letting them know that once or twice.

crank up RI to 1 hour, remove all karma/experience…..that would be a good start

[rant]
last night was ok for a decent amount of time (60/40) fighting or pvd/Defend
until the normally decent cmdr went full pvd to the point that the keep had a wide open waypoint, called out for a some help for 2 cycles and in about 10 minutes lost the keep with cmdr 2 small objectives away, it was sad.
[/rant]

and this is just making people new to wvw terribad cause they have no idea of what to do except pvd, any resistance and they leave or afk till a cmdr shows up.

lower the cap down to 15 people or something also

anet just needs to spank spank people for turning the awesome EotM into frostgorge.

reading through this thread, I am just going to point out a few glaring things.

way to much berserker gear (low Health/Toughness)
Stand your Ground and Pure of Voice (Stand your Ground nullifies the benefit of PoV)

since crafting is still one of the easiest ways to level, and your throwing out crafting materials, you don’t seem to be hurting for money so you can afford to buy more bank tabs and I’m sure your inventory is maxxed with all 20 slots on all toons also right?

Just FYI
don’t use intothemists that site hasn’t updated for a long time.

The builds need to be updated using gw2skills.net build calculator, intothemists is outdated and has been for quite a while.

and just wanted to add, I’ve noticed the decline in EotM defending objectives, and people call it karma train, it is actually a poor excuse for “I don’t know how to be a good commander so let’s avoid the enemies”

Karma is easy to get anywhere in the game, and I know alot of us have a nice stash of millions of karma points….so to karma train when you can’t spend it fast enough cannot be the reason people are in EotM.

so yea I blame bad commanders for turning EotM into what it is today.

it takes a quick minute to defend a keep in EotM and it is a helluva lot more enjoyable then fighting a door. (which you can go back to doing after a quick defend)

I’m sure some commanders that know how to actually play WvW will come back and help the puglets remember the good ol days

Yay for Megaservers!

to fix recruiting, just type your server in the message
to fix WvW coordination use a forum

Yea, I see stacks on someone….I want to make them go poof.

yea, the weights need to stay like they are…I mean come on, there has to be limits and some separation of items.

What if the Protection buff affected condition damage?

would that work?

I still contend that they goofed up and made the map queue larger than intended, I wish I could find the dev post about it, it said something about queue’s being very small because the npc’s/objectives were designed for small groups (5-20)

The only other thing I can think of is to close EotM for servers that don’t have a queue
but someone will cry because they don’t want to play wvw only eotm.

or force people to leave EotM when a WvW map is ready.

I’m in favor of cutting the EotM map capacity in half or more

Having the trait pairs the way they are right now is really annoying, to do the new trait you have to invest in the power/condi duration line. even tho it is clearly a condition damage trait.

power doesn’t help condition damage just like precision doesn’t help condition damage

having these traits paired up is just wonky….I mean precision and condition damage? really?

anyways…it’s just odd.

but someday I know things will get more normal.

thanks for the info…it looks like a fun set until you see the numbers from the 6th rune.

those tormented skins are dropping in price fast, might wanna re-think that investment.

Before the patch it was a measly 30 per second.

the notes say
Superior Rune of the Dolyak
•+25 Toughness
•+35 Vitality
•+50 Toughness
•+65 Vitality
•+100 Toughness
•Regenerate health every second. •This bonus is no longer a static amount. It will scale based on a character’s level, as well as scale slightly with the healing power stat.

does anyone know the level 80 amount now?

Anet will replace the ring, just contact customer support, I know of at least 5 friends that have made this mistake and after putting in a support ticket anet did help them and fix their mistake. just don’t go off in the support ticket crying about this and that.

just admit the mistake and ask for help fixing

The torch #5 skill always made me wonder wth is that, it’s magical flames yet the flames don’t do condition damage, it’s flames?!?!

All of EotM is awesome, I just wish the map cap was lower for a better chance of balanced population.

lol troll advertising, and only those that use that site bit.

mods need to delete this thread.

Delete Delete

Transfer now before the 2 matchup restriction is in place, only costs 1400 gems

We want people looking for a nice stable server, if you want to be a part of the next generation of BP, come on over now!

you have 1 hour to transfer and have a fresh start!

When you go to the Altar in EotM you can’t activate the buff that the altar gives after you complete the event.

FA and MAG prime PPT race is about even, Mag has a slightly wider PPT prime range so FA gets close but the distance is just…….out of range by like that …….much so close.

which is bumming out some people there I’m sure; cause the tourney will be boring for the most part.

now If they could readjust the leagues tiers (Gold = Tier1 Tier2 Tier3 Silver= T4 T5 T6 Bronze = T7 T8) that might even things out a little bit for competitions sake.

Before EotM came out I was 100% positive they were going to have a much smaller map capacity, the whole point of it was to allow for smaller teams to still have something to do while waiting for regular wvw.

if the map capacity is lowered then more people have a chance to play even numbers.

yea it’s pretty bad, hope they find out why and fix soon.

how about getting rid of upgrades in towers all together? make them the same as in EotM.

YEP, Pretty bad last couple of days, just seems like a router going poop when stuff is happening.

Yea, I would love to see more EotM npc AI in WvW, the AI isn’t perfect yet but it’s pretty nice.

the repair part would be nice also, but getting rid of the upgrades would have to be in place also.

I don’t trust it, cause they had the words, vitality and condition damage in the same paragraph.

YES, SO ALL YOU PvE people need to get into WvW to make all those bonuses Higher it really is a nice buff come Thursday/Friday right before reset.

to the original poster, I have a guardian with full ascended Clerics, the one thing that is often missed on the builds is that unless you make versatile infusions (spendy) you can’t have all defensive or all offensive type infusions on trinkets.

it doesn’t add upto much but anyways love seeing those green numbers on my party/allies! but kitten can healing power get some love? some formulas are just so low in return.

I love the fact that I don’t have to grind in the LS, it’s a great break, go outside and kill some people in WvW the mists are very active this time of year.

gw2 aint got nothing to worry about from teso :P

I felt like I was doing hearts non-stop. painful. look I even got an owie.

Patience

that anet logo on posts that they have responded to is getting annoying.
how about a nifty view all anet responses button.

Are they going to get rid of PvD also? that to me is absolutely broken.

the way magic find works isn’t for specific items, it is for a chance to access a higher loot table, which is different…in a more complex way than just adding 100% chance to a 1% chance of drop.

scroll down to the notes section at http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Magic_find

i think it works, just stingy

not if I’m a WvW player

but anyways I would like to know if there are plans on at least changing the way guesting and guild buffs/vaults/access works.

We are currently checking out 4 or 5 servers, thanks for all the replies! it’s great to see such a need for this different style of WvW. maybe more smaller guilds can learn the joys of being prepared for the inevitable onslaught of bags

Thanks again.

Soldiers 0/0/x/x/x
Knights with 0/5/30/30/5
Celestial with 0/0/20/30/20 or 0/5/30/30/5
or any combination of Soldiers/Knights/Clerics Armor/trinkets with Berserker weapons.

the traits trade-off to get a DPS guardian are so wonky it would be better to support your Berserker Allies but that’s just my opinion.

But I like to have a build where I can tweak my traits without having to reset them and still wear different armor/trinket sets.

but then again im 90% in WvW so this might not fit.

kitten , that just doesn’t make sense, guesting and being able to access that guild vault would make things so much easier, for me

According to the wiki you can’t access your guilds upgrades on the new server, but what I can’t find is “can I still access my original guild upgrades/Vault if I am Guesting back on the original server?”

If not, Why the heck not!?!

NA Mornings for some and NA Prime evenings for both, it’s a nice split

FA has been mentioned by a few of us already so now we just all need to agree.

We have 10 solid people that are wondering if there is a need for a guild that enjoys the defensive side of things.

is there a need anywhere in the top tiers?

we can literally sit in towers/keeps all day and keep 2,3,4 places well sieged and nearby camps flowing.

and make kitten sure a zerg doesn’t need to come in and wipe 20 people plinking a gate or wall. (near or far)

seems like it’s been a problem for awhile cause the amount of bags on the TP is not going up, pretty easy fix I’m guessing

I never really paid attention, I do like how it adds to the appearance, but when I’m fighting I am not concerned with how my shield looks when aegis pops.

but I know im the minority on function over form (Draconic ftw!)
