Anti-revive trap. Wherein you can’t revived a downed player for a certain amount of time. GOOD vs Zergs.

Or:

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Frozen_Soil, would that make rangers attractive?

Definitely. Truth is you can’t really beat an insanely big zerg however good in zerg busting you are. A big zerg can just revive the downed/dead ones quicker than you can finish them off. Having some kind of an "anti-revive trap’ or something to reduce the healing of the revivers would help. But something like this needs to be balanced as it would be boring if people relied on this trap all the time. But it’s definitely a great idea.

Welcome to DR [DARK]. Another good guild group for all you homies to join. For all things fun message Richter.)

Meh. Not our problem but Anet’s problem. But seriously, and no offense to Kaineng and ET, I enjoy playing GoM, FC, SF, DH more. At least we’re not fighting gates that don’t hit back and there’s bound to be people to fight if you roam. Chill and just play, enjoy the DR way.

1000 badges for asc is dirt cheap and easy advantage. go break your back and craft like everyone else.

kitten all elitists. tyvm.

It is one thing to be strong in skirmishes. It is another to be completely unkillable in a pack of 5 enemies while potentially picking them off one at a time (if they are uncoordinated, which is most groups) with little to no effort. Anet obviously created thieves with the intention of initiative being harder to get, or they would never have put a no-cooldown self-stealthing combo in the game. However with regenerating initiative in stealths and with the variety of initiative regen traits, initiative might as well not even be there. The worst part is even relative noobs can be good with this combo because, really, how can you be bad when your enemy can never see you.. it is 0 risk, extremely high reward, which should never fly in any game. Unfortunately it is even worse in the hands of a skilled player.

And last time I checked, thieves had ranged aoe for attacking towers so don’t give me that.

only people who play with 1 arm and half a brain get killed 5v1 bya d/p thief.

go to DR there are no people in vigil keep and the merchants are nearing the point of filing bankruptcy

bumping for DR, Join us!

SniffyCube.6107:

oh so you’re preparing for open field?

kinda, cause it’s so stupid it just might work!

lol lighten up it was for stupid fun and lols and it’s the last day before reset. We still had almost full supplies in some of our towers and keep. I started the line from pang to outside of red keep this while DR held a large percentage of EB then our commander and pugs helped. SM flipped 3 or 4 times to either AR or FC while this was going on we couldn’t connect the spel train to the bridge in anz cause we reached the number of max siege that can be built

TY to some FC (Vt)and AR guys who didnt break the line early lol

103 ballistas

Also Add:

DmD (OC/NA)- Seraph Siegfried
Zs (SEA)- Aquanio
PF – Commander Kittenae

I don’t know what guild you have been “farming”, but DR doesn’t really get guild groups that big. Biggest guild group you may see would be 20-25. Mixed population PUG groups you can see in the 40’s and typically only in EB. So with that said I venture to ask what guild groups you would be talking about?

Make a list of all WvW guilds on DR and then check them off as farmed.

Moar guardians less thieves

D:

hahaa meant that for group play :p

Moar guardians less thieves

[FART] – I saw this in FC

Need GM’s to monitor activity in areas where there are suspicious activity. Possibly done by one person or a small group of at least two or three.

This has been happening for the past two weeks:

-Our keeps in Borderlands being flipped real quick consecutively in a matter of a few minutes without sightings of any mesmers and siege. But we occasionally see one same person waypointing out after.

- Just now: we have a fully upgraded and waypointed bay with no reports of earlier breach and attacks. With no sighting of siege, swords were up for only about 20-25 secs. then it flipped to the rival side.

-My own sighting from last week’s matchup: we just flipped hills and I was chatting with a buddy just inside inner gates. Then swords popped quick and lord’s HP drained so fast. As me and my buddy were running from the bridge to the lord’s room, we saw one person who apparently waypointed while the ring was up. And no, he was not downed or dead. We would assume that if it was a mesmer breach and a fast lord kill, there would likely be at least a group of four who will killed lord and cap hills, but that one person we saw suspiciously waypointed while we were approaching as the ring was up before can cap it. Also I assume that if it was a small group, they would fight and not wp since they are nearly capturing the keep.

-lots of other eyewitnesses who see these things happen to our towers.

We have reported lots of times, we even got one name. We try to take footage but taking footage is difficult since they are very slippery. We hope Anet can help the wvw community in our matchup to address this issue. Check your logs if you have them.

Come run with us in Devona’s Rest. We have four guilds with an OC shift. one of them is a big guild.

Posting this on behalf of my fellow SEA buddy Aquanio:

[Zs], DR’s small scale guild specializing in zerg busting and team pvp is recruiting. They are DR’s Navy SEALS.

GOAL: Same with all guilds in DR. Help DR rise in Bronze League.

You will learn the following:
-Precisely coordinated group fighting.
-Finely coordinated zerg busting.
-Team PVP.
-Professionalism.

Requirement(s): Teamspeak, no-drama professional attitude.

Currently in their wishlist is:
Guardian, Necromancer, and Elementalist but all classes are welcome to join.

I have seen with my own eyes how they regularly and precisely execute zergs of 20-25 with a well organized group of 10 players.

Contact point:
-Reply here in this thread
-Send me a pm here.
-Send Aquanio a whisper or message in-game.

Join [Zs] and be part of DR’s small scale special forces.
take advatage of the FREE transfers so make this count. cookies for everyone.

We’re gonna have to update the list of guilds in DR and what they are looking for.

Actually kind of exciting to watch and wait. Will we get more of the map revealed? New areas to explore? new personal story? If you haven’t worked anywhere before: Imagine working as a dev keeping up with 2 week deadlines for the living story which they have to deliver everytime. I appreciate their work in building new content every 2 weeks for a game we don’t pay subscription fees for.

Yes. But we believe this incident to be isolated and not reflective of the whole of AR. As for my second point that guy from TFT who transferred to Kaineng is not spying as he is just playing around (I was having good duelling and partying with them) This is the same with the DR players you see in that photo. They are just enjoying the free transfers to fight their buddies.

We are having a great back and forth match up the whole week. And these “bags with legs” are currently holding that slim lead. GG and GF.

Bubbles.4937:

We’ll a little birdy and a very reliable one at that has told me that a strong oceanic guild has held talks with the DR leadership and is considering transferring to them. If this is true and DR pulls off the impossible of convincing and oceanic guild to go bronze and go DR then they become a server to watch for the leagues.
See you on the battlefield week one I guess.

Can’t confirm this for you. But it’s always fun playing GoM. See you as well

oh yeah cookies and babes too

Its easy to play dp thats why i play it all the time but it can be countered easily.

Thinking of making war For wvw like this when it gets to 80:

All armors are clerics with travelers runes, trinkets are valks, weapons are soldiers.

30 traits put in the power trait and another 30 for toughness/healing trait. Ill put in dokyak and regen signet.

Is this any good? Suggestions are welcome.

happened at around 00:09 server time. and again at around 00:15.

*EDIT: All of our pug zerg got DC’d while in wvw in Devona’s Rest world, Did any of you from other worlds experienced the same?

Specific Game Mode WvW PVE

Proposal Overview
Remove the 30% reduction in DPS/overall stats that are given to pets

Goal of Proposal
make rangers less dependent on pets unless they trait for it.

Proposal Functionality
make us be less dependent on a broken mechanic unless we trait for it. if our damage is reduced like that then clone spamming mesmers’ stats should be reduced too.

Specific Game Mode WvW PVE

Proposal Overview
Fix Signet of the beastmaster trait.

Goal of Proposal
Give rangers more access for their signets to affect them and not their pets by default

Proposal Functionality
revise trait to 10 or 20 points to affect pet on active instead. Rangers, like all other classes should by default be affected by their own signets on active.

TeamBattleAxe.3901:

This is my dream WvW map. Let’s make invasions a real thing.

I do want an ascalonian tileset and off topic im interested in your pistol thief

DR needs help have an oceanic crew there

Hello,

I have some issues with my main ranger, you’ve probably heard of pets having slow response, not landing attacks and F2 skill cancelling alot, Pets that boon you (Jungle stalker for example) will run to the enemy when you hit F2.

But I wanna talk about Signets. We shouldn’t have to trait for the signets to affect the ranger as well. It should be the other way around trait for the signet to affect the pet also and not trait to affect you also. signets on other classes affect them directly on active. Also mentioning that it requires 30 is too steep. I play PVE and WvW I trait 30-20-20 I run GS for defensive and counter in wvw. I can do well in dungeons and speed runs but wvw is a bit harder it’s especially hard with the longbow as the attack is very slow without quickness and rapid fire easily side stepped. Personally I loved running the thief better in wvw, I can help better with spamming blast finishers, stealth people and also fight better.

Is it a specific DDoS attack on anet by one or a group of persons?

Suggest you do it the usual way. Break your back leveling your crafting and craft your Ascended stuff. I play both PVE and WvW equally and I can say that badges are pretty easy to get no should be entitled to get things easier.

Honestly I got more empyreal fragments more than ever due to wvw and you get exotic bags from tower lords like you’re running a champ train. If you want dragonites give a little 10-15 mins a day and help kill a world boss. I also have stacks of silk from wvwing…

Anet even adjusted the requirements for an asc backpiece. you can now use 250 bloodstone dust instead of really rare fractal drops. I ran 9 consecutive fractals just to get one of those before Anet adjusted it a good 2 weeks later.

I think it’s ok. what they need to fix is that shadow step & Shadow return* stomp.

1k badges is too easy to get for ascended that would be unfair as I broke my back for those.

Eir Jordan.2156:

People making it into your spawn has nothing to do with overall WvW balance. You have no idea what you are talking about if you think this is even remotely related.

she’s Not talking about wvw balance by uneven she means being outnumbered by alot. might wanna transfer to DR or Kaineng to see that for yourself.

Exactly. No one enjoys both losing and being outnumbered 1:6 or 1:7 then camp at your spawn for a longtime. So players just go to eotm where the numbers are even.

That CoSA guild likes camping near DR spawns in huge numbers for a long period of time both in DRBL or EB. Same with some AR guilds they even build siege just outside the range of the defenders and laugh around. From my experience, ET players do it less often and don’t stay long. Some DR players on some days just give up and go to eotm which is more fun for them.
Dude only a few ppl like lightening up while losing and getting ‘insulted’ like that after being kicked around for a long time. Throwing Omegas around, camping around spawns is just plain arrogance. One person from another SF guild(Dawn) party me apologizing for that behavior which he thinks didn’t feel right well thanks for that mate.

Continuing from that stealth OP complaint thread: complaining wont get you alive now. Even ‘measly’ rangers like me can beat them d/d stealth spamming thieves at some times besides using the regen, condi, bunk, evade builds. We just need a harder counter and this is more a defensive stance cause you’re never gonna beat one every time specially if they’re really good.

Dont go full glass on a ranger in wvw. as a ranger player i like targeting full glass and squishy rangers who get in the fray alot cause it’s honestly the easiest kill in the game. If a ranger insists on being full glass, at least get 1500 range instead of spotter and stay really far and/or hidden that’s what you’re supposed to do if you’re full glass.

Personally I add a little toughness i went 30-20-20 with a mix of knights/cavs/zerks gear with signet of stone for active null damage and i get around 2.7k+ armor when holding my soldier stat GS.

GS4 counterattack and and having 2 wolves/dogs knocking them down works well too. when he disappears to open combat, remember that stealth has a short duration (except for SR) so have GS4 block ready for a backstab and another CnD. if a block is successful against their backstab and CnD, they get knocked back by counterattack with around 3.8-4k damage and then hopefully your dog knocks him down too if the pet mechanic doesnt screw up. if you get lucky after block and knockback, their initial response after that would be to spam hide in shadows key so switch to LB, use sic ‘em (for 4secs unstealth), QZ, LB4, LB2 before they can hide. I see some who survive this and SR/BP to stealth so barrage away or use wolf fear (which cancels alot). Usually works against easy mode noobish D/D thieves. I honestly find the D/P a harder counter because of the blinds. shadow stepping thieves is a bit of a problem sometimes cause they can re open quick so just stay aggressive only if its possible or just run away with using GS3.

The dec. 10 balance patch their natural init gain is faster than ever so it’s a bit harder for me these days. I also play thief with some asc gear so i kinda know how they work a bit. I also experienced a lot of Necros that can kill a lot faster than a thief vs. my ranger and those stealth mesmers are a lot more deceptive and confusing to fight. Thieves wont usually be as effective in zerg v zerg situations so i think there’s no op in stealth, it’s just VERY annoying to fight them but it’s real fun and exciting when you take down a roaming thief.
