Guild Wars 2

Had my fingers crossed for this patch.

/sigh

Odd, I recall the majority of my time in WvW being spent fighting players from other servers. If the classes were deemed out of balance in relation to one another why would these balances not apply in a PvP arena?

PinCushion.7390:

Meaningless? Seriously?

Serverwide buffs in PvE and WvW are meaningless?

Power of the Mists may seem like small boosts, but they really add up. By participating in WvW and helping to earn points you get to give everyone on your server a constant buff to everything they do all week long. How is that meaningless?

Seems like many people don’t even receive these boosts.

uXa or FIST probably should’ve looked at joining FC first. GOLD is actually a group of DR residents that have been absent for awhile and have reformed under a new tag.

Baylife.1704:

I haven’t switched worlds since beta, I WvW regularly, no bonuses.
Will we get an answer on this?

Perhaps if we keep this thread alive and educate all the people who aren’t receiving bonuses without realizing.

An underwater ram for the the underwater grates. As is you have no alternatives but to chip at them with standard attacks.

I’ve gotten hundreds of skill points from leveling in WvW.

Occasionally dolyaks will appear to be a good 40-50 feet from where they actually are when they are on the move. I.e. you will target the yak and watch your character fire in a completely different direction.

Not sure if this is related or a separate bug.

It was awesome killing and chatting with a bunch of DR last night :0

I’m going to abuse the heck out of the report->trash talk undocumented feature – it’s making this game 10x more fun when I have someone to bark at after a good rumble.

I’ve had a few fun chats this way.

Running into a nuke tag tends to mean a solid fight. You guys are ferocious.

I still run into it in large fights.

Say we are defending a tower with the defending and attacking army having a large force each. Numerous times I’ve pushed out the gate, seen enemy siege nearby and decide we’ve gained the upper hand as there are few enemies to be seen. I get out there and start tearing up the most threatening siege weapons just in time to see a host of baddies start materializing around me.

Here I am thinking I was the first to suss out a momentum shift while in reality I was just flinging myself headlong into an unrendered horde.

I’m happy to report that this is an infrequent occurrence for me. Every now and then you find a group or guild that likes to use it whenever downed but most fight to the bitter end.

Only repeat offender that stuck in my mind was a female toon from “People of Orr Partying” and their dubious guild tag. Kept diving in against our stragglers or back ranks and then hitting f12 when downed.

5k wvw kills, no bonus

/sadface

Would love to hear an official – thank you for your patience – response.

Mildly distressing. O_O

At least there is no orb to ninja now.

also for the devona list
RAVE

On a side note, running with Lilj was a blast. Push, pull, flank, crush

Doin’ it right.

@Braxxis.7062
Even force…lol man you need to recount. There was nowhere near the DR at Hill as there were Kain. But i wont argue the point. The pics of the Kain zerg at the Bay are the same folks that ran over to the Hills.

Oh..Just got updated that when you fled your homelands to go attack DR BL npcs…nice push. But why did you all flee the map when you lost the Garrison? Kains outmanned buff popped up soon as you got pushed out of the garrison.

Comeone Kain..i KNOW there’s some good players on this shift. Stop running and fight…or is NPCs pretty much the extent of your skills? (just kidding there)

Im back online now and goin in to see what fun can be had.

Not much, our BL commander is attacking your siege naked…for like 30 minutes now. No idea what’s happening elsewhere, though word is someone on a certain server hacked catapults in EB to hit Stonemist.

Attacking siege for 30 mins…thanks for verifying Kains need to PvE.

Hacking catapults? LoL now you start the “we getting owned so they must be hacking”…man if im not mistake, and i can scroll up to see…wasnt that exactly what Kain was accusing DR of “crying” about? lmao

GO DR GO!

I didn’t say you did hack, I said someone was saying that Devona’s was placing catapults in unreachable places way up on statues where you can’t even get to and was hitting Stonemist with them. I haven’t been to EB all day, so I have no idea what actually happened.

I know I watched a particularly clever DR mesmer platform to a spot for treb placement tonight and portal us up to supply it. Guessing this is what is being discussed.

Holding SM against Kain and Ferg with 5 wall sections down was rather tense. Managed to hold until the wall upgrades finished.

Also, whichever kain is creeping around inside SM, you are spoiling my night with paranoia XD

Look, when you boil it down, all servers have a mix of talented players that fly their server’s colors. Each server also has its share of players that will exploit every situation to their advantage. There are those that will conduct themselves in a civil manner and others that wish to nothing more than start flame wars. Some commanders will earn respect and others will lose it by posturing endlessly towards ally and enemy alike.

You are going to see players abuse the system for personal gain no matter where you look, pointing fingers and making sweeping generalizations is hardly fair.

Each server has its heroes and team players, its own worthy commanders, its favorite upset victories. We could celebrate those rather then endlessly QQ-ing.

Best of luck to all guilds and players that put their time, energy and passion into fighting for their server.

The 1v1 I don’t know about, but in small scale combat you could have been seeing a beserker spec engineer or three working together on voice. Grenade barrage can get very nasty and one pulse from several tossed elixir R’s can AoE insta rez from downed.

Looks like Kaineng is pulling an advantage the first night. Looking forward to seeing the numbers come morning.

Clever OP

Keep up the good work, hopefully I’ll get to see some of your masterpieces next time.

Drop-rate and badge availability is fine imo, but I support the idea of auto-loot.

Would appear to be a common, and as yet, unaddressed issue.

Most of these ideas sound entertaining but destroy balance. Offensive siege would be a thing of the past.

On the other hand, if this is a jab at the power of a mesmer… I see what you did there

I, for one, hope FC gets a few more guilds to help even things up. The tighter the match the better. When a match is close enough for lead changes to occur the fighting is truly remarkable.

Inconveniently timed new build, is inconvenient.

I’ve noticed this as well

Edit: Off-Topic – aren’t you a wvw player on devona’s?

Devona’s Rest since I installed the game 2 months ago, no WvW bonuses applied to my characters at any point.

Tis the bane of turret placement throughout the game. They will attack objective placements that haven’t even spawned from events yet.

Has anyone on Devona seen DnD out in any organized force for awhile? Seems like ages since I’ve seen Cannalon, Gulgnak, Jax Oo and Kruist. Just wondering if maybe they have been working borderlands instead of eternal.

I’d also like to add SoCo to the list of mentions, another group I’ve seen doing a lot with a little.

Deserving an additional mention, the RAVE crew has a superb roster of ninjas, assassins and sappers, again, making extremely good use of their numbers no matter what map they are working.

As far as other servers, I’d mention that those on kaineng that still fly the Nuke standard know their business and fight very effectively. As for ferguson’s, seeing a number of Medieval Lords means the fight is probably going to be nastier than you expected.

Ferguson’s crossing blitzed Stonemist just now. Devona’s had been committed to the north gate for hours against Kaineng. We held against sustained treb fire and had to defend several breaches to inner. I was there for at least 7 golem kills. Their assault was tireless, pressing us whenever we though we could commit manpower elsewhere.

We had just gotten enough breathing room to really work on repairing our northern defenses, even posturing around the kaineng keep, when we heard that our southwest gate was under attack. Got back just in time to see no fewer than eleven FC golems marching through our gates.

Amusingly enough my short little asura was low profile enough to march with the FC rank and file, I actually managed to shoulder past each golem on the way to the lord’s room. I chipped at them as much as I could and took a few attackers alongside my fellow defenders before heading to the top floor after the capture.

I was surveying the celebrating FC when a particularly diligent round up group noticed me and chased me around the roof for a couple minute before I decided to splat myself.

Props to FC for reading the situation and striking with an overwhelming commitment.

I hope our match continues to give us fun fights and surprises.

Perhaps less QQ and more discussion of the match would be in order.

It’s a bug I encounter more often when I’m with a large group. You know something has gone wrong if you get an xp tick from the lord and still get zero credit while in the circle.

I play as an engineer set up with speedy kits and a few skills/traits to help disengage when a fight goes fubar.

Surviving is as much a matter of properly reading the situation as it about your stats and gear.

I’m blessed with fighting for a server in a relatively tight match. I routinely spend money on siege and occasionally pitch in for keep upgrades. I come out ahead every night.

If your WvW match is boring because you are dominating, go join the losing server of a close match.

Provided your server isn’t a complete ghost-town on WvW, join their ranks. Events are like candy as long as you are on a successful offensive.

/signed

Never seem to have much more than 10 seconds notice.

Did you have a decent fight taking it for Kaineng?

Interesting idea but it would devalue the badges.

To any that were at Stonemist just now, great fight. It was a 45 minute fight as Ferguson’s Crossing slowly ground down our defenses.

All seemed lost as they crashed into the lord’s room but our defensive siege helped us hold another 8 or so ticks against seemingly impossible odds.

Our soldiers fell one by one in the blinding chaos, fewer and fewer filtering back to us as calls of lost siege were heard of the din.

Good fight to all involved. Personally snagged 70 assists =]

EDIT: Not sure where the FC forces went after taking SM, but Kaineng took it what felt like ten minutes afterwards.

Hopefully it will be another fairly tight match. I’ll see you on the battlefield.

Join a guild or find one during your playtime that gets things done.

And how do you get things done?

And how does a guild fix ANY of the things I listed?

I don’t understand, someone please explain to me. If I join a guild, will my server population increase to 24hr coverage? If I join a guild, will there be no more invisibility bug? If I join a guild whose zerg I’m following, will my XP and silver rewards increase? If I join a guild who doesn’t zerg because they only have 3-4 active WvW people, what then, do you run around taking camps endlessly and PvEing or what? And when these 3-4 people go to sleep, will Towers and Keeps be impossible to PvDoor by the enemy?

I’m just saying having a group improves your odds of accomplishing something whilst online together. If you only have a small group you’ll be taking camps and mercenary camps while avoiding zergs and engaging small groups in PvP. If you start claiming victories you might attract some of the waypoint dwellers to join you. Get some momentum and you can ninja towers.

Another problem may be your activity frame, if it’s during a lull in your servers activity I’m afraid there is little you can do aside from heavy recruiting/organizing or jumping ship =[

There is certainly coin/xp/karma to be made even on a losing server, provided you aren’t spawn camped from all three exits. If that’s the case shift to one of the borderlands or wait for them to grow bored.

The ferguson/kaineng/devona match was fairly close last time, even had a lead change in the last days. The losing teams didn’t give up.

Same match this week. When I have time to be on GW2 you can be sure I’ll be on the line with the Devona crews.

Join a guild or find one during your playtime that gets things done.

The only queue on Devona’s rest is during the first couple hours after reset, and only on our home border. That said, we still get crews together and take our slice of the pie on eternal. Even when we enrage the kaineng/ferguson beasts it leads to some great fights before we are eventually forced back.

WvWvW is some of the most fun I’ve had in GW2 despite being on the lowest ranked server.
