For one, stun breaks don’t remove immobilize(please learn how the game works before engaging in arguments about it!). Secondly, the arrow cart hits more then one time. Third, adding more then one AC into the equation is when it gets into ‘lockdown’ mode, people only have so many condition removals.
So using condition removal on immobilize would essentially be “breaking the stun” (Please think before you try to calling out some out on one) 2nd point: You are correct but you can dodge it, if you don’t time it well and get stuck oh well it happens to the best of us. 3rd point: That may be true but now your requiring for there to be more then 1 warrior, while also traited for Leg Specialist, also having the know how that he can do this and not being preoccupied, and also know that there is a arrow cart for him to be on. If your going to make the argument that in an organized group using voip, this is common for them to use these tactics (along with others) to lock down areas and defend objectives. If they are that organized then your probably going to get stomped anyways. If its two well organized groups fighting both sides will have the know how to counter this issue in game. This is only going to effect people that don’t understand whats gong on or inexperienced Commanders.
I think this might actually be more broken than Confusion.
Are you kidding me? 5 AC’s, 5 Warriors, near-perma Immobilize and you don’t see an issue?
This is obviously broken and if you can’t see it then you have little to no WvW experience.
I don’t see an issue, If your playing with out a way to break the Immobilize then thats poor planing on your part. Personally I would rather play the game a try to find a counter to the issue then cry on the forums till anet changes it.
To comment on someones WvW experience just because they don’t agree with you is quite silly. A lot of anets nerfs are based off the player base crying that something is over powered or broken when in reality its the lack of peoples ability to adapt. In this discussion on arrow carts, if you get hit by a arrow cart and get Immobilized, use your stun break to get out, dodge and your good. Now if you feel the need to go back in and get immobilized to death…well maybe you should rethink how your attacking the gate.
Sorry for the semi rant but this is getting old. There is always going to be something a different class has that seems OP! Why cry about it? I think getting 5+ necros together and putting all their marks down is OP, it makes necros awesome for holding choke points, anet should take out marks because no other class can do it like they can…As for the Arrow Cart your saying that its broken because you can’t stand in it and just take the damage? A 1 second immobilize is game breaking? I think not, you can easily realize whats happening and move out of the area heal up and try again. Or instead of trying to PvDoor something build counter siege and take out threats prier to banging your head against the door.
While I think its very helpful while trying to defend a objective, I would take a small organized group over a arrow cart traited for a 1 second immobilize any day. IMO we should nerf team work, thats the real issue here.
I’m not sure if I understand what your saying but I’m in a very small guild, only myself and 1 other (Mezroth) regularly spend time in WvW. The rest do PvE mostly. As for Communication, I agree…I often sit in the BG VOIP listening in on the commanders of what ever BL I’m in, even though I spend most my time solo roaming, more often then not I can jump in and help the zerg in some way(if its taking camps, yaks, tapping garrison, or occupying defending players). I have full faith in the leadership of our top guilds and the commanders. My little guild is just a speck of what is Blackgate. In time we will grow as we are slowly recruiting, but all the credit for BG’s success go’s to all the guild of BG and the players that have dedicated there time to take Blackgate to where it is now. That said, I’m not speaking here on behalf of blackgate or any of BG’s guilds. I’m only speaking my mind on what I’ve seen via these forums, watching the scores and playing my limited time in WvW.
Edit: Sorry for the horrific sentence structure. Doing to many things at once :p
“Revealed will now be applied when you come out of stealth, regardless of how you stealthed”
Shouldn’t this be “regardless of how you drop out of stealth”? E.g. doesn’t matter if you attack (and would have got revealed anyhow) or let stealth run out? Not sure “how you stealthed” matters. Am I missing something?
Nope your not, Its a pointless change as far as everyday thieves go. The change will only effect thieves trying to stealth in keeps via C&D. As long as you can stack stealth with out attacking something or leaving stealth you won’t get the debuff.
Like you said, you attack out of stealth you get the debuff (were all used to it) or you miss your attack out of stealth and you get the debuff. It would be like you landed a shot. I think it will be weird at first but I don’t think its going to change what thieves can do in a fight.
If I remember right smokee predicted BG to lose by ~50k and considering its closer to 30k coming up to reset, I for one think the match up between BG and JQ is in a good place (even considering the few coverage gaps) I think if SoR can fill in a few gaps and gain a stronger over all presence, T1 can get closer to being “balanced”
In my opinion, it could have been 50k or more if JQ wanted it to be. I gotta give em props to be honest. They’ve done a great job at using the scoreboard and PPT trends to determine when to give it some gas and when to lay off the pedal. It would not be in JQs interest to run up the score, as it would only potentially entice more stacking to try and beat them, which would be bad for everyone.
I can only speak towards JQ NA, but its definitely seemed like we’ve been a lot more laid back on anything that wasn’t reset day and even then we’ve been pretty good at keeping the ppt pretty close, sometimes leading most of the night. So to say that we’re being carried by FOO is inaccurate as it implies that we can’t do anything during other time zones. Heck, this week has had two SF Necro nights where we were 90% upleveled necros and one night where SF and PRX were doing Guild Missions followed up by very brief but dramatic appearances on SoR BL instead of 5-6 hours of warfare.
I don’t think anyone is implying that JQ was carried by FOO or any one part of your server. FOO’s time zone is only more noticeable due to the massive PPT JQ gains during that time. From some one that doesn’t play during that time and only watches the scores, it seems like the other time zones are fairly even (to a point) then FOO comes on and puts up a strong PPT to gain a lead. Since Neither me or Liquid are on JQ we can’t speak facts about what these guilds plans are, we can only make assumptions based off the information we have.
As a roamer I was wondering what map BG and JQ roamers frequent, getting tired of people who run from a fight to a keep or a Zerg. Well that’s if there are any roamers left on those servers.
Around 10pm PST SoRBL is quite nice. I tend to find a lot of groups no bigger then 4 or 5. Even though if your solo they tend run at you like a zerg. Had a lot of good fights last night though.
If I remember right smokee predicted BG to lose by ~50k and considering its closer to 30k coming up to reset, I for one think the match up between BG and JQ is in a good place (even considering the few coverage gaps) I think if SoR can fill in a few gaps and gain a stronger over all presence, T1 can get closer to being “balanced”
Great Job this week JQ you really showed why your holding strong in first place! Congratulations to BG for showing the perseverance to keep fighting and keep getting better day in and day out!
To SoR (even with all my kain talk) I wish you the best as a server and hope your recruitment pays off! If any server can bring balance (or close to it) to tier 1 it SoR!
@Thiefz Thank you for your kind words. I’m a little all black Asura with Incinerator, I tend to spend my nights frolicking about in the snowy north of the defending BL’s. I’m normally running solo so don’t be to mean :-)
Yup I Play when SoR sleeps, and JQ dominates. Getting backdoored by 60+ in my prime time play gets old, because JQ can field 20-30 pug across all map and have FoO float and backdoor any action BG makes, because SoR won’t even take a camp for about 6 hours of play. Gets old quick, its why many want kain, if not kain anyone for that matter to split the forces so its not a non stop backdoor fest, by the more populated server.
Do you understand how 24 hour coverage works? " if not kain anyone for that matter" You realize Kain is the only server that can field coverage during that time. SoR isn’t alone in coverage gaps. KN is no competition for BG and JQ during the other times though.
KN will only make a closer match for BG and JQ. No one thinks Kain will come up and take 2nd or first place. (Or even do better then SoR) The point is Kain will slow down JQ in BGs weak time slots making this already close match even closer.
The point is – NO they won’t. They’ll only make it more competitive in the one specific time slot you play in. Weaker in the others.
That may be true but Kain has great coverage when JQ cleans up BG. If BG can keep up the same pressure during the other time zones and kain slows JQs PPT during our off hours BG can have a much better chance at winning. But your right with out SoR in the other time zones its hard how BG and JQ will do with out SoR there.
The problem is that reducing the ppt will not secure the first place for BG and secondly Kaineng before even attacking JQ might actually secure the easiest points first and have BG run at 0 ppt during WM prime time. Also, with little challenge from Kaineng during N/A prime time JQ will have nothing else to do but focus BG and reduce the points even more.
Overall, I would say be careful what you wish for because it may not be what you want.
Depends on how it would work out, as it stands now JQ is running 400+ PPT at this time leaving both BG and SoR in the dust. Even if BG gets beat out during this time, the idea is kain would stop JQ from getting that 400+ PPT thus lowering the lead they gain during this time.
Now NA prime time is a different story, Its hard to speculate what would happen with out SoR being a strong 3rd presence.
So essentially, you don’t want a balanced 3 way fight, you want someone to “slow down” JQ while you sleep so you can win? The Tier would be a disaster if Kain moved up. They would get demolished in all but 1 time zone. SoR is a stronger server they just play the way they want, and that’s for fun, not the scoreboard. When the rest of the tier realizes the score means nothing, maybe these threads wouldn’t be filled to the brim with doo doo.
I apologize for not coming off clear enough, but I’m not really trying to discuss the balance in Tier 1. It would be nice if all 3 servers in tier 1 could get good guilds to cover all the gaps in their time zones to have a strong 24/7 battle. But realistically that is very improbable. It would take either guilds from JQ to leave (which no one wants) or cannibalize lower tier servers to fill in BG and SoRs coverage gaps (which probably won’t happen and wouldn’t be good for the lower tiers). Over all I’m more talking about what will be more likely to happen, we have seen the JQ/BG/SoR match up and will continue to, the only other server that has a possibility to move to tier 1 in Kain. I’m sorry if I was misleading in my delivery.

@Energetik and any one else that wants to school me bit on this matter.
Why does everyone claim that holding the JP because of free siege is such a advantage? other then the golem (which is debatable for some people) isn’t that expensive. Is buying siege that frowned upon? If anything holding it would be to keep enemy servers players wasting player spot in WvW to do the JP but even then it take numbers from both sides.

Who said they came here to get number 1? If they wanted number 1 they would have gone to JQ. No one but them can say if they plan to move or not but its unlikely as staying on BG is there best chance right now.
It is already common knowledge that the SoS guilds transferred to BG in an attempt to beat JQ and seize the first place. Transferring on JQ was never an option for any SoS guilds.
Thats understandable but the only options they would have had was BG SoR or kain? And currently are still the only options. As it stands BG has had a good chance at beating JQ but obviously aren’t quite there yet. Jumping ship again wouldn’t help them in anyway. If they want to beat JQ recruiting for the coverage gaps would probably be better.
I don’t know if it was WM intention to drop to a low server to bring it to number 1 or to see how high they could take it but it shows that 1 or a few guilds can’t do it by them selves. We would have to wait and see in the next few weeks but I would doubt they would jump ship considering how close BG has been to JQ.
Sorry to say it but this change will do nothing for people complaining about stealth in WvW. (I can’t speak for sPvP as my experience is very limited) All I see happening is if you miss a attack out of stealth and have to wait 3 seconds or stealth running around out of combat. This doesn’t change anything involving a fight with a thief. The only difference is they will want to be more aggressive to make use of stealth rather then wasting the debuff with out a attack or put bigger gaps between you and them so the debuff drops before you reengage.

Here’s what I read and you can correct me where I miss things
BG and JQ want KN here because their NA night coverage would mitigate the poor NA coverage that SoR and BG have now while the ensuring that BG and JQ’s NA primetime remains competitive. This only solidifies a competitive 1v1 T1 environment between the First and Second servers. Everyone agrees that KN would NOT pose a threat to the current battle between First and Second.
Currently SoR’s mindset is that based on ELO and the points we can get, we can field a competitive NA primetime and remain competitive for 12 hours but without burning out we can’t keep a full 3 way battle so why burn ourselves out trying. Let’s be competitive when we can. However that messes with the First and Second server’s competition since JQ has better coverage.
What this argument proves however is that T1 is not WvWvW but 1v1 with a third server to provide balance. This whole SoR vs KN is only a discussion about 1v1 balance and not the entire tier’s balance. If we wanted TRUE WvWvW then SoR NA primetime needs to merge with a SEA guild to provide mitigation of nights gap and allow for a closer PPT.
So you could complain about coverage mitigating that or you could play the game and be competitive with what you have. If SEA guilds want to play in T1 then they have two options BG or SoR because SoR really isn’t going to fall soon.
Your correct in saying that kain coming up would make for a better 1v1 match. WM would make it much harder for JQ to gain the PPT they have been in BG’s gaps. As it stands now it still a 1v1 match, SoR is nto going to over take BG and at this rate BG isn’t going to beat JQ. Speculation is that the BG would have a better chance beating JQ with kain here. (Not taking anything away from SoR because if they do drop down they are going to clean up in T2) If we would want true balance all 3 servers would have to fill in the gaps to have even coverage 24/7 which isn’t going to happen. We can dream though :-)
Honestly, I think the responsibility for balance will fall on multiple servers. People will need to suck it up and check their egos and force balance in T1. Whether that means some guilds from JQ volunteer to move to lesser servers to round out coverage, or other guilds from other Tiers move up, close matches and balance wont happen. T2 is currently in a unique state of decent balance and close matches. They wont want to move anywhere, so it will take either a shift within T1, or T3 servers to make the move.
This will likely mean there will have to be a coordinated effort from all 3 T1 servers to shift guilds around, as we already know, some servers are stronger in different time zones (SoR in NA, JQ in Asian, BG in Euro).
Just having Kain and SoR switch places will likely not solve anything.
I wouldn’t want to see guilds from JQ move to even it out. I would much rather see more guilds move to BG and SoR (or Kain depending) to balance out the coverage gaps. T1 is the best of the best and it should stay that way. I would much prefer to see JQ lose at there best.
Kain does have gaps in coverage to, but its prime is right in line with FoO’s prime. Kain would make for a closer more competive match. Also this isn’t about just having WM back in t1, you likely haven’t seen the numbers [meow] and [tofu] can bring to wvw which has the same play time as WM.
I don’t get this at all. Kaineng here would make a closer more competitive match for JQ and BG, but not for Kaineng. They won’t do any better than SoR. Their coverage gaps are just as big as SoR if not even bigger.
I’m not aware of all the guilds they have on Kaineng outside of WM, but my point still stands.
I think the idea is kain will counter FOO, stopping them from racking up as many point as they are now. This giving BG and JQ a even closer match up. I don’t think any one here thinks Kain will do any better the SoR.
I agree that’s what would happen, but I think our goals should be for a competitive 3 way fight as opposed to a 1v1.
I think both JQ and BG would agree with that. But as it stands now BG would need a bit more coverage in a few areas then the 3rd server (being it SoR or Kain) would have to fill quite a few more gaps. Either way hopefully that happens.
Kain does have gaps in coverage to, but its prime is right in line with FoO’s prime. Kain would make for a closer more competive match. Also this isn’t about just having WM back in t1, you likely haven’t seen the numbers [meow] and [tofu] can bring to wvw which has the same play time as WM.

I don’t think this change will do anything to fighting a thief. The only thing its going to change it how a thief can perma stealth in keeps and what not. I spent some time last night trying to not stealth after the 3 sec debuff. TBH it didn’t change my game play much. More often then not I’m going to attack out of stealth so I’m getting the debuff anyways. The other times I use stealth to reset the fight by the time I leave stealth I have a good gap between me and my enemy so it will take them around 3 sec to get to me any ways.
I think it will be weird at first to get used to but for any thief that is some what good to great will have not issue with the change.
I’m a glory rank 36 by the way and what was your glory rank again considering this is where PvP resides outside 15-20 man groups. Are you calling WvWvW in its current state PvP?
[/quote]
Glory rank 36 being impressive is debatable. Realistically you can be the worst sPvP’er and gain that rank with time…now if you were say you got to rank 36 in 50 games then I’d be impressed (50 being a made up number as I don’t know the standard for gaining glory, I’m about rank 9 and maybe played ~20 games mostly to test builds)
I think people are excited about Kain in T1 because they have numbers where numbers are needed to keep JQ in check, Kain also has no reason to keep BG from taking PPT from JQ when Kain is weak in coverage. There’s only one way to find out, hopefully it happens before most get bored with the stagnation of JQ fielding numbers wherever and whenever they want, BG trying to de-throne JQ and SoR doing what it can from stopping BG from taking first from JQ. Kain would bring a refreshing change in that I feel they would like to make the monster work for their wins.
Thank you for proving my point. BG has a vocal minority that love to cry fowl and think everyone is always 2v1’ing them. It must be native people to BG because they do it any time they get to T1 and they even did it a lot in the BG/SoR/IoJ and TC matches when they were winning. There didn’t seem to be much 2v1 talk coming from SoS when they were falling out of T1 so I can’t imagine it’s the SoS transfers that are so delusional.
For the life of me I can’t understand how after 6 months of WvW they haven’t figured out that the nature of 3 faction warfare is people are opportunistic. You will get hit in the back while fighting for a keep because it’s easy to wipe a force that has just been weekend by a big battle with another server. You won’t notice it happening to the other side because you either, A) won the first fight and are now getting hit by the other server or you lost the fight and aren’t around to see the other servers weekend forces getting hit by the 3rd server.
Saying Garrison could have been taken while we fought at Hills proves nothing. A fully upgrade keep with siege can be easily defended by a skeleton screw. It’s very easy for a group to defend or lose Hills and still get back to Garrison in plenty of time to defend it if upgraded.
The more I think about it though. HoD used to cry about 2v1’s all the time too. I wonder if they ones saying it in BG were originally on HoD?
I think your missing the point when everyone is saying “2v1” I don’t think anyone on BG thinks there is some pact between SoR and JQ to focus BG out. SoR is not going to beat BG or JQ, so the only chance SoR has to stay in T1 is pick up points where they are easier to get. Both BG and JQ are working to beat each other in PPT for first place. So over all SoR is going to have a easier time getting points from BG as they are going to have there hands full trying to out point JQ. This is where the “2v1” is coming from…Both SoR and JQ are hitting BG but independently.
Sadly for those that keeping being up BG complaining about 2v1, its making you look quite foolish. Take a step back and relax a bit and stop being so defensive if you don’t fully understand what your talking about and commenting under assumptions.
I run 0/30/30/10/0 D/D build and while roaming have S/P as my off set. Same armor and trinket setup with ruby orbs. The 10 points in acrobatics is my personal preference for WvW for the fall reduction but 10 in deadly for Mug would be my other choice. D/D being the bread and butter C&D for backstabs and what not. I use S/P for the end of the fight. Often after your burst your target will dodge away so S/P is good for closing the gab and pistol whip for the finish.
I don’t have much experience with S/D so take this with a grain of salt but I feel since your already running D/D you have Dancing dagger and C&D as a tool in one of your weapon sets. So it would be if you wanted Flanking strike. Also to note all my time is in WvW and it my understanding that things are a bit different from sPvP.
I’d say that the shortbow was pretty much fit for purpose. It only lacks range.
This is on point imo. I feel it would be nice to have a trait to extend the range to 1000. Not looking to be on par with ranger range.
Though I do feel like the trait for pistols to have a bounce on crit could extend to short bow and have an extra bounce on crit. but then again I wouldn’t trait it as I wouldn’t trait in now for pistols so it might end up a wasted trait.
I see what you are saying, but as long as the originating commander didn’t toggle his tag or leave the party (I didn’t state this upcoming part in my first post) other players with commander tags could pop or stash their commander tags at will. Communication would be key in keeping anyone from following the commander out of a fight to the respawn point. Just make sure the commander communicates for the party to stay with the ‘sub-commander’ who would now have his tag on to keep the line fighting at their current objective.
OR:
have an option to ‘pass the banner’ if the original commander has to toggle, making a new commander the lead.
Just ideas of course, not a Hey this is how it should be Devs, make it happen :-D
Edit: another idea is being able to set a sub commander in case of a disconnect or necessity to untoggle arises.
From personal experience: Most the time following a commander I won’t even join the squad, I’m in VOIP with the guild and in a party with them, most info in relayed over voice since its normally easier then typing it out. So I don’t feel its needed to change the functionality of the tag its self. Having a larger group doesn’t seem to be needed as long as the tag is visible (like it is now). Understandably there could be time were a larger group could be helpful or nice but I don’t see it as a needed change.
If there were going to be changes to the tag I would only suggest:
How the tag is obtained. Cost/criteria.
To add to that: Make it different from WvW and PvE as there are uses in both aspects of the game but there needs to be a way to limit how people can use the tag in WvW. From my understanding (from another thread) there is a cap on how many tags can be on a BL. Even if that is the case (say its 6 because I don’t know the real number if there is one) That can do more damage to the servers organization the good unless the server is really organized. But considering the common pug have that many would be confusing.
Add a “achievement” line (not so much for points but more for “rank” or data) That gives commanders a rank or proof of service so people can see who is the more decorated commander on the field and give them priority. This is a ok to bad idea but just an idea
Why is kinda bad is it would make it hard for upcoming commanders to make a name for them selves. Example: Say I WvW casually just for fun here and there so my stats are far lower then the current WvWers. 2 months from now I get my tag and want to really focus on WvW and turns out I’m a ok to good commander but my “stats” won’t show that I’m battle ready unless the server allows me to get more experience.
The reason I say this is I feel its a interesting idea and I would like to see the stats of the guy I’m following but as you can tell there are some major flaws in the idea…
Once the party is full to 5 (which is my understanding is the max?) a check box would appear in the upper left of each party members screen requesting to activate Commanders Option or not.
What this would do is, for that commander during this (let’s call it) encounter, the commander could checkbox to upscale the size of his/her party to lets say 15 or 20(I prefer 15 I think)
If the commander drops his Command Tag status or leaves the party, the party will dissipate and would have to reform.
All members of the original 5 would have to upvote for the Commanders Option.
Only players who have invested in the Commanders Tag would have the option available.
My only problem with this is its common from my experience for commanders to toggle the tag while in battle for different things. For example: While taking a keep you have 1 commander tag on and another player that has the tag (but its not on) the commander dies and has to respawn (for what ever reason…it happens sometimes) So the player still at the fight pops his/her tag to keep people organized while the respawning commander turn his/hers off while running back to the fight. This would be an issue if your “extra” people in your party drop every time you toggle your tag.
I personally feel the commander tag functionality is fine, the problem is how you obtain it. There needs to be something in place that allows you to use it. Also (maybe) making the tag different from WvW and PvE. Both still cost 100g to get. For WvW you have to spend 1000? badges of honor, have XX amount of kills or objective captures? For PvE, you would need map completion, dungeon master? or some other PvE related achievements.
That being said, (and if they did implement something like this) it would have to be retroactive. Instead of putting the book back in your inventory…add a consumable item at the vendor and the requirements to buy said consumable item would be the set criteria set above. The biggest thing is any change to how the commander tag is obtained has to be retroactive other wise most servers will have some big issues while the current commanders try to earn there tag back. Plus all the QQ that would start.
Why does it seem like that every time BG is here, the threads turn into a 2V1 war? As a matter of fact…if you look at all the times they are here? That’s the only reasons why they lose! 2V1 (according to them)… And it’s pretty much the only time we hear that excuse on a regular basis.
Honestly? It’s getting comical at this point.
Why does it seem like every time BG is here, the thread tries to change subjects to something constructive and some one has to bring this up?

I actually believe Kaineng may rise up this coming reset. SoR may be doing good now with their Glicko rating, but remember it is the weekend where half their members can stay up.
SoR’s Glicko rating will drop as the week progresses due to their overnight coverage. Kaineng’s will either remain the same or rise further due to the other two servers overnight coverage not being able to play ball with Kaineng’s.
There’s a rating difference of 101.64 so far between Kaieng and SoR. It’s not an easy gap to close in a single week.
I don’t think SoR would be the difference here, you guys have been consistent with last week so it would come down to how TC and FA do this week or next. Though I doubt they will give up and let Kain take a massive point lead to give them enough to jump up this upcoming week.
That’s true, SoR would have to really fall to let kain catch up. Tier 2 does look really even overall to let kain get a lead biggest enough. But my point on double teaming still stands (if its happening or not) I would be surprised if it wasn’t going on considering the match up is.
JQ and BG double Team SoR.
BG and SoR Double team JQ.
JQ and SoR double team BG.
GG. /end sarcasm
No one does it.
If you have proof, as in actual recorded conversation of 2 servers directly working together PM it to me. Otherwise you’re just calling wolf, and I can’t believe you.
I am not calling wolf, its pretty easy to see when two groups are not fighting each other and are taking turns at protecting each other towers. Everybody can see it and knows it because it is so obvious.
Sanctum last night went out of their way to get to a jade tower we just had taken while Jade was right next to it NOT attacking any of the Sanctum players. Then there is SM when one come right after the other and you guys don t attack each other.
Of course there are the little skirmishes where you do fight each other so please don’t try to make it look like it is not true since it is painfully obvious to see…at least in EB
I haven’t seen it first hand so I can’t say it is or isn’t happening but realistically its a smart move for SoR to attack BG over JQ. SoR is not going to beat JQ and BG is having a hard time competing with JQ. So SoR should be focusing BG more because were busy trying to catch up and cap over JQ. JQ should be focusing BG more because were more of a threat point wise. Call it double teaming or what ever but its the smarter move for both servers (even if it sucks for BG) If SoR wants to stay in T1 they will have to make sure they are getting the points they need to stay above KG and they aren’t going to do that fighting both BG and JQ.
I can’t speak for all tiers or all time zones but in T1 this week every server took the enemy’s garrison a few times or at the very least got into the lords room. Sorry to say this but hoping you can just log on an it be ready for you to take is a bit out there. I suggest like everyone else you either help your server in the BL you need or play the waiting game. If your like me and have limited play time, I can understand the frustration of world completion in WvW but it will come in due time.
Tier 1 is now simply a game of numbers and not a game of skills. Being on top only means you zerg in larger groups. Zergwars…its fun to watch, not fun at all to play. There is no skill in facerolling your opponents.
I tip my hat to you for having the numbers and at the same time I laugh at the lack of skills needed for this.
I really miss tier 2 and 3 where the other servers where actually fun to fight. You are not fun to fight and that in my book does not make you a winner.
Peace out
If you truly think this is the case then:
A. You need to upgrade your computer
B. You are in the wrong zerg.
I have seen Foo and Choo constantly obliterate Zergs all the while having much lower numbers than the opposing Zergs.
This week has been a blast, some of the most fun I’v had in ZergvsZerg! The guilds are getting better and better on all sides! Where I agree that from a solo roaming perspective T1 is not as much fun, 1v3+ is fun and all but its hard to compete with the shear numbers of these groups sometimes. That being said, I love BG being in T1! JQ and SoR are great servers and will force BG players and guilds to improve and adapt! If you want to be the best you have to fight the best and thats what we have here in T1! Good luck everyone in the weeks to come!
I think another way to look at it is parental control. With the game F2P allow parents to set a play time limit. This will allow parents to maintain the child’s play time for any reason the parent deems reasonable. This would also allow people in the OPs position to set his/hers play time limits. But that would only work if you give someone else your “master” or parental password. If it was me and i set these limits then if i wanted to play more, I would just pop in that password change the settings and now I’m playing more.
This is a question/suggestion. Is there a way to turn up the brightness of the red aoe circles?
The suggestion is to make them more prominent on the ground. Mainly for uneven ground. Any time there is uneven ground or a small amount of water that covers your feet, it makes the circles almost unnoticeable.
I would like to see a adjustable bar in the settings that would allow you to brighten or dim the circles. (Mainly for damaging or non friendly AOEs but friendly areas would be nice as well, as long as they are on a separate adjustable bar)
Xenkaidos is right in say that i did pick my race for a reason. The asura is a great race and is allot of fun to play. I will have tons of fun playing my Asura thief if they do or dont implement this option.
Since i was under the impression that this was a forum for suggestions and the topic was Race change, i would put my opinion on the matter. It might not be a game changing reason but in the nature of the suggestion forum, i posted my idea and reason. If Anet uses it or not makes no difference. They have done a great job and i will continue to support them with the choices they make in their game.
Also its redundant to post a replay on possible options one could use to “Race Change” when i addressed it in my first post.
" I would re-roll the toon but I feel it would be a waste of effort to try and remake the same thing on a different race."
I feel that some sort of Race change should be put in place. There should be some requirements you have to meet before you are able to make the race change. Like Story would have to be complete. That would rule out the argument that it would mess up your personal story line.
My reason i would like to see it implemented is I play an Asura thief and have spent allot of time and gold on my gear/weapons. Since the Asura are small its harder to make out the details of every thing if spent so much time on. In my opinion, the medium gear looks awful on the Asura and would like to be able to change to a talker race. I would re-roll the toon but I feel it would be a waste of effort to try and remake the same thing on a different race.
I would love to see you add attacking while Jumping! So far this has been the only real issue i have with the game. Mostly because i love jumping around the battle field! Any time i use a ability I’m stuck running. There has been a lot of time where i would like to jump on this or that while still spamming my auto attack or instant casts.
All in all i think it would be a nice feature to add.
This ticket is only from today. but i have filed a few others in the past and have not got a request. Im sure its been said but you would think you would want to fix you consumable income and allow people to give you more money.
Iv tried to buy gems everyday for the last 2 weeks and nothing. Im sure your busy but youd think you would want to fix systems that are not working. Like the gem market.

you lost the fight and aren’t around to see the other servers weekend forces getting hit by the 3rd server.
