She is desperate. The eternal alchemy might have been real. And what she saw might be the future. In her eyes, we might as well be dead. Or maybe there’s really no hope, we are destined to die. Goodbye Tyria, goodbye friends and foes, it had been nice meeting you.

On another note, we might be preparing for an attack on double dragons, Primordius and Mordy. Or she might have been searching for a hidden dragon, a seventh dragon yet to be revealed.

A new dragon introduced in the LS? I would say this would be expansion material.

Our server reported these guys several times. If they get a temp ban I dont know. I am not always on EB and it might be that they are not there for a few days. But when I do enter EB one of the two always seems to be there.
Wasted more than 2k supply yesterday. Keep was completly empty right when we are attacked by two blobs.

I’ll post this here because its ontopic but what happened to the gamemaster thread on the siege troll in JQ? I gather its been removed by mods because of the screenshots but do we know if they will do anything about the guy?

Sweep it under the carpet mentality? I posted also in that topic and it’s gone. No admin message no dev responding.
Siege trolling is real Anet Devs, do something about it please. A ban would be nice, stop them from entering WvW is also acceptable. But doing nothing is not.

Stealth is it over powered

aspirine.6852

clearly some of my fellow thieves are upset. this is an opinion and feedback board. I am simply encouraging those who know that stealth is badly broken to use the website or in game feedback options to fl..err provide persistant feedback. what’s wrong with that?

I’ve seen many posts about the thiefs from you, you have been called to troll even so many times I guess.
I will give you the benefit of the doubt because I agree with you, if the thiefs do not see that invisibility(also for the mesmer) is overpowered and clearly not fun to play against they will never get fixed. They need something besides invis to keep them competitive.

And lets stop calling it stealth because it really is not.

Retaliation is a key part of a bunker guardian’s potential. Getting rid of it would break a key component of the class, which means it’s not going to go away.

Not self retaliation but the group part. Like someone else stated in this topic ever threw a few grenades while defending a keep/tower? Well there goes half your health and you are stuck doing nothing because of it. It’s a bad boon for WvW.

O.K. I meant that it punishes full zerk builds that can’t dodge or position themselves. People who are constantly getting 1 shotted should fix that issue.

You get 1 shotted even in PTV gear. It punishes you for getting hit, as it should, but if anything it encourages people to zerk.

I can assure you that I do not get 1 shot by warden 3. I take ~50% damage if I should make an error.

That’s my build (Sword instead of scepter for warden 3).

With so much active defense, you can facetank warden 3 for the entirety of the platform event. Blind from GS 3, Sword 2, Focus 4. Block from Virtue passive and active and recharge from elite, Retreat, Focus 5, Shelter. Invulnerability from Elite.

So if you are getting 1 shotted by warden 3 you need to adapt or you need to perfect your ability to dodge and position yourself since you have zero leeway.

The problem is that it’s usualy failing on another platform, and you cant do a single thing about it :/

IDK but it definitely looks like a lot of Ruins of Surmia players are too lazy to fight and want to stay in Bronze league.

Nah it’s the same on non top servers. Between the eotm, the marionette and the wurm the population is a bit stretched on some servers. On the normal blob servers(all Country servers, what a bad idea that was) there seems to be enough people doing wvw.

So according to you I should go out and range the land and be happy with it?

No, you should stop thinking the LB and a brown bear is the solution to all your issues. Not saying the two cannot be destructive, but the skill needed to not rallybot while using full zerker on a ranger is well, exceptionally high.

Rangers just need to learn how and when to use the correct pet, and when to use a bow or not. Also highest DPS comes from sword, not LB or GS.

i use sword/axe LB or sb depending on the situation. Swords does acceptable damage at 3500 attack, both bows however do not. The pets are next to useless because they hit nothing. So when they decide to give the option to use pets or disable them I will cheer. But they wont because that’s about the same as saying we screwed up with the concept of the ranger.
Played gw1? Atleast there you had the option to bring your pet or not.

Could EotM actually end up damaging WvW?

aspirine.6852

Nobody cares if you win a eotm-match, matches don’t remain stale for a week, towers are able to stand on their own for a while when they have supply, defensiv siege is being built by npcs, many places where you can easily reduce the numbers of enemy zergs.

All this seems to be superior to the old wvw.
What’s missing is the community but that’s also happening by transfering and what’s to say against a gamewide community?

Those fixes you mentioned are not bad at all. But the population spreading is kinda bad for some servers. Right now most of our players seem to be on eotm, we do not stand a chance against high tier servers because they will blob and siege everything.

EOTM needs ambient creatures

in WvW

Posted by: aspirine.6852

aspirine.6852

The design team overlooked something vitally important in EOTM… ambient creatures to kill so necromancers can build up their death shroud.

This is especially important when a necromancer dies and their death shroud is completely depleted. There is nothing to build it up with until you get into the middle of a pitched battle.

So give us some ambient creatures in the spawn area so we don’t go in to battle handicapped.

You shall earn stacks,In battle.
You shall build up your shroud,In battle.
You shall not get up from downed state by hitting mobs.

End of story—

So true, get it all from battle.

Going into stealth the second time in a short(certain amount of) time, should give thiefs or mesmers a damage debuff. You stealth twice in a row? Ok you now have a XX less damage debuff. In return you will have certain advantages when in stealth, Cannot take damage or all conditionslost, something like that.

Living (Story) in a Griefer's Paradise?

Posted by: aspirine.6852

aspirine.6852

I’m far from being a good PvP player, I get killed a lot yet still enjoy myself. People just need to not take their deaths seriously, laugh it off and get back out there.

Its just like The Dragon Ball Arena, Sanctum Sprint, Southsun Survival, Keg Brawl, Snowball Mayhem… all are pvp places outside of WvW and Spvp.

I think this is a great idea from Anet, it might open a few eyes to those that never considered pvp to be fun. If they still don’t like it a couple of weeks isn’t going to ruin the entire game for them.

couple of weeks huh? Yea great idea.. know what? Lets actually put you a couple of weeks into a game mode\place you dont like…as best somewhere where people can grief or zerk the living kitten outta you and you got as best zero experience in what you do, and after the couple of weeks comes the question. Still like it? No? Thought it was fun. Come on its just a game and fun time. Dying is amazing.. specially if you fight organised people who know exactly what, where and when to do it to slowly twist your cheerfull smile to a distorted face of despair and self doubt till you simply quit the game cause you really just dont like this way to play or just the need to rebuild your entire char just to survive.

Ever played quake? Not a mmo but pvp, 1/1 or team was very popular. Going up against top Swedish and German players and teams was not something you would win. Ever. These guys played the 100k tourneys round the world. And still it was kitten fun to play against them because you will get better and once in a while you will kill them.
I do not think that winning is the only way to have fun, putting up a good fight is way more important for me.
From all the complaints on this forum I just see one thing, people affraid to die in the game and on top of that you get corpsedanced or something similar.

Give your ideas for new armor skins.

6 gods / 6 elder dragons... hmmm

in Living World

Posted by: aspirine.6852

aspirine.6852

The problem with this theory is how often certain mantles of power of been passed to new gods (Abaddon > Kormir [who was a mortal in every sense of the word]/ Dhuum > Grenth) And then you have Menzies and Dhuum who still very much exist even if they are…contained. And Menzies, for all his mystery, is still very much god like in power as we saw in the Realm of Torment and the Underworld with vast legions of shadowy minions. So, in actuality there are eight god like beings currently in existence that we know of, possibly more that just never had the motivation to make a power play in any realm a mortal can visit.

But are menzies and dhuum considered elder gods?

I want a precursor quest, not a craft

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: aspirine.6852

aspirine.6852

Personally, I still like luck-based drop more than any tedious and boring chore (be it crafting or quests).

Depends on how rare those drops are. In my first 2000 hours of gameplay i found 2 exotics in total, and they both were not even worth 1 gold. So at that point i don’t really like luck-based drops really and i’d rather collect my crafting mats piece by piece and know that after x hours of gameplay i have what i want.

That probably has something to do with the drops in this game are beyond terrible. It’s always very suspicious when a game has a real money shop, but when the drops are as bad as they are in this game it’s more than just a bit suspicious I feel.

Does anyone solo roam anymore?

Posted by: aspirine.6852

aspirine.6852

We are up against 2 “gold” league servers, jade sea and desolation. They roam camps with more than our zerg. Take supply and portal away without puting up a fight.

You must be from Gunnar’s Hold. I have high respect for some of your players, but now you are spreading false information. Desolation is now running low numbers in WvWvW. We haven’t had queue to any map. GH on the other hand seems to have a lot of large guild groups, sometimes combing several guild groups into a larger blob. We got just PuGs.. and you know what servers, which are mostly just PuGs do… they all blob. Our predicted ranking is now 11, so what makes you think we are a “gold” league server?

I am from Gunnars, and I was patrolling our BL this weekend, also a bit of EB when our BL was fine. And yes you are right I should have be more detailed, it was mostly JS that are taking camps with 50+ zergs and ported. But also many times the Deso pug zerg, aswell as a guild group were taking camps with a large group. In defense of the guild group they needed the supply because they where indeed capping towers and keeps. JS comes and ports. Very annoying.
And I think you are gold league material because in the last league we did not stand a chance against Deso, neither did any other in the silver league. Right now the wurm and marionnete are most likely the problem with the deso numbers in WvW, when those are over you will probably stomp us with ease.

@aspirine.6852

Well… to be honest pvp type gameplay is the reason why i quit\walked away from a lot of games. If you dont play like others do..like lets say run VERY specific builds or use very specific tactics to tackle certain things you are automatically the noob or the looser. Here in gw2 pve i already get enough laughs\hate for playing my beloved engineer that i pretty much equipped to heal, remove conditions, revive allies and condi damage the enemie as much as the little attack damage i got allows me. It makes to me just more fun to ensure that nobody arround me got even a pixel of their health bars missing or a single negative condition showing. What i pretty much learned fast in playing together with veterans is if you dont dps like crazy or can keep speed wise up with a zerk you are worthless so im usually pretty well off on my own and have my peace in pve doing my thing…mostly just running in the starter areas and keeping the new players alive so that they can do their heart quests or down their champs. That makes me happy and is my fun. Hell.. even solo\duo some dungeons together with a friend without much issues since a while. Alone the idea to go wvw\pvp makes me cringe cause i know what will come… verbal abuse and requirement to absolute perfection if you wanna avoid it. Thing is.. i cant stand the first and im not capable to do the latter.

I just leveled my Engi and while I am not healing and stuff like that I am loving it. Engi is very strong roamer in WvW. Sounds like you do not run zerker gear because what good would that do you. I was exactly like you for about half a year ago. Just got into wvw for the map completion and nothing else.
Then I thought well Im here now might aswell help out the commander. And then hooked, almost every day now. And no I am not good, if I can do it so can you.
