Shaun.8049:

Make sure you go to the Hero tab and physically select the Scarecrow finisher as the one you’d like to use. As you use the consumable finishers it adds a number of uses to the “finishers” tab in the Hero panel, but you have to actually select the specific finisher you’re going to use.

O.o, i was just double clicking them in the inventory, that could have been my problem then. Wish there was a better explanation how to use them, since on the items it just says double click to consume, so i followed the instructions that were misleading?

Well I imagine you have seen a finisher before and when it’s not a mad king or scarecrow I would start to think if I did something wrong.

Only fow commander I follow is either excifilius or Mor D, but I havent seen Mor in a long time. Both are unpredictacle and fun to play with.
The rest I do not know the name of but I have never seen anyone so bad I was thinking ugh I ’ll go my own way.
Altough someone named something like mmyst or mmyptr I dunno started with double m anyway was doing some terrible things…

Laxus.3062:

hahahaa most epic hide ever?

This is not the golem you are looking for, move along.

Well maybe a little less health would also be a good idea, the fight can be fun but in overflows can literly take half an hour because of his health and one shot mechanic.

Reduce the stupid amount of health that grand vizier has, and stop making him spam his rockets so much. kitten how many times do you have to hear that bosses with one shot hits and 100000 million health is not the same as fun.

“Population has always and will always let servers win if it is too great. The bloodlust buffs and stomp points gave servers a fighting chance when their coverage is close within reason.”

And when a server is completly outnumbered 24/7 by a huge margin, it’s not only giving them more stomp points and higher stats but the outnumbered server no fighting chance, none..

Then you have lost any way so kitten.

No need to make it worse.

But the ppt on stomp actually make semi-balanced matches more fun with more depth. Are you saying they shouldn’t try to make semi-balanced matches more fun because servers in lop-sided matches that is now going to lose by 130k instead of 100k?

Well we are currently 210k behind, they could probably keep the bonus if they match the servers a bit better

AydenStar.4216:

Players that are moving or have moved to serious T1 servers be warned that if you don’t play the cookie cutter build that the top guilds have come up with (which are all the same IMHO), you are going to have a horrible experience being forced to play the viable professions and builds even if you are not in these guilds but run with them.

To be honest, GW2 is not going in a good direction with these WvW leagues: let face it, WvW leaders want to win fights and they rather have 30 players of the most viable professions and I don’t blame them. If you play on T1 servers as Ranger, Thief or Engineers you will be forces into the Ruins because that is where zerg leaders will put you if they are having a bad day and need a scapegoat or have you sit in a tower all day long.

I do not and will not listen to other people what I should or should not play. My main in wvw is a ranger and if other people dont like that too bad.
I am in the lowest tier of servers so that might be completly different, I also never heard commanders on our server say anything about profession thank god.

Hmm I am not sure but gonna look when I get home. It’s not a very fun fight so i do not want to do it too often. The candy rockets are a nice touch but his 100 gazillion health is boring as kitten.

Eh so how did those others join the zerg then? Yes there is lots of cripple and slowdown but it’s not hard to run a few blocks to join the train.
Perhaps if you have a real low level char it’s harder, but it’s not that impossible..

First time in the labyrinth when the grand vizier whatever fired his rockets, now that was fun. I think the whole party died..

3 posts of an official Anet employee dodging the real questions. Nice.

hihey.1075:

Sick Em being unavoidable is going to be really annoying. But I can live with that.
However, I can’t live with that huge cooldown on Shadow Embrace.

No afaik they did not say it was unavoidable, I only heard them say it canot be dodged.

Elochai.1280:

Achievements and titles should be far from the top of their list of things to change.

True, but they are also pretty easy to fix. Change number on achievement, done. :/

Sanduskel.1850:

my thief wipes the floor with rangers. they are the easiest to kill in wvw.

Unfortunatly you are right, about the only thing that kills me are invis thiefs. Rangers are ok behind a group to LB things down so I’ll stick to that with my useless pet.

So what time is this again this evening? You would have thought it would be on the front page that there is a big preview for tomorrows patch….

In wvw, with wvw reward I imagine the OP means.

In gw1 you had a series of quests to get you ascended, when ascended/ascension meant something. Now these weapons and armour make no sense at all.

sorudo.9054:

more melee weapons?
the necro only has one and that is just because of the one auto attack, the rest is all distance.

just to show the part why it does fit:

Those look terrible…..

Almost all of them, I only dislike Orr.

Rigel.3092:

This still works effectively in solo wvw roaming for me:

Not everyone is that good I guess

Snow could be very stressing on some PC’s. I remember on a small part of GW1 my pc would come almost to a full stop in prophecies area with snow. It was either my gfx card or the engine that was terrible with snow.

I wonder if someone from Anet noticed your topic. Would be nice to get some recognition.

McWolfy.5924:

i lvl up my warrior and have a 80 guardian. why i am sad? my main is a ranger and he is nearly lvl 300 in wvw. i hope they will bring rangers in line and/or make wvw xp account bound not character bound.

I admire your dedication in wvw and taking a ranger that high. I enjoy my ranger too, LB and GS, longbow for killing behind the zerg. GS for when I am against solo or small party. What kind do you play?

Yaki.9563:

Maybe you should play each character more or play fewer of them. If all you do in this game is max gear your chars then retire them to play an alt, I don’t really have much sympathy for your difficulty in getting ascended weapons.

That does not make any sense? Why would I play less or more with one of them? When my char reaches 80 it gets all the best items I can get with the money I have and do wvw with them. With all of them, so it makes no sense to upgrade just one and stick with that. I like all my chars :/

bruhara.2978:

Is this RoS his idea of fun?

Thats Hilarious. Good old WSR. They had a “good” week last week and still lost by more then 80,000points hahaha

:P i think we both agree fow won because of their nightcapping. we mostly had the upperhand during the normal times.

Youguys had a kitten good weekend, and even during the weeks fow was not even on the EB map. So it’s not just nightcapping. It seems your server during the week more players had something else to do or they were just pve-ers getting their daily and after that leave wvw. If we had a nightteam there would be something red in EB today for us right now :P

They would make terrible armor wearers. So no, I hope they do not bring the walking chickens as a playable race.

Dynnen.6405:

Everytime they run and reset the fight count that as a win. By the time they actually kill you, you’ve beaten the 3+ times.

Too bad the score says otherwise =)

Constantine.7812:

ye you are a total ranker and you are in wvw 24/7 thats cool. now lets think about ppl who doesnt sit in wvw all day and ppl on not so strong wvw servers but still want those achievements. lets not see this from our point of view ONLY.

Well it´s created for people who do not like pve and are almost in wvw all the time.

Junkpile.7439:

But where is fun if you just craft it?

Because crafting for me is no fun when you have to kill half a forrest and mine more than the 7 dwarfs to get one lousy item? With 8 chars this is going to take me longer than I live.

Famous, or notorious?

Or Fow matchup, zergs having all 3 bloodlust up is way too much.

No no no no more instanced dungeons, this is an mmo, make something in the world for a change.

Roy and I are scheduled to stream on October 11th where we’ll go over a few more features and adjustments that you’ll see on the mid-october update. Be sure to tune in and check it out!

Did this happen ?

I checked your twitch saved broadcast and was unable to find it, perhaps it was saved or was labeled incorrectly ?

They chickened out and replaced it with an intro to sPvP podcast.

We’ll get the preview podcast a whole 20 hours before the patch hits… Just long enough to hear the screams, really…

I was surprised when I joined the channel and asked questions about it. I was ignored the whole time, while greeting people who joined a channel was something anet did all the time. Nice priorities.

:D I also complain on the wvw main forum..
I will keep it our of the server topics if that makes you feel any better.

@phirefox, that was a nice post man.

@ royce, manning up has nothing to do with stating that there is something wrong with some of the wvw parts. If you want to keep it like it is fine, but consider that what you call whining might be something other people actually dislike.
I love this game but it could do with some changes, and if this is what the league of wvw will bring they could very well be destroying the lower tier servers. So I will continue to complain or whine if you like, I have a right to do so.

Malediktus.9250:

I dont see how you can relate the scores to fun. It only shows how much 24/7 population the servers have in comparison.

Not the score, but the map. Evenly devided and a layout for great fights. But it looks like it, doesn’t have to be it.

George Steel.1804:

Watching warriors like this with 22K HP (which is more than I’ve ever had on my Guardian, ever) wrastle around the battlefield with crazy mobility, sustain, AoE disables AND AoE burst, just makes me so sad.

I’ve put many hours into my Guardian, and nearly every build. But honestly have never seen battle effectiveness like this.

Well I know his vids and he is a very good warrior indeed. But his healing, his words, also comes from the engi’s he plays with and also they work very well together.

Tier 6 in EU seems like the most fun.

Oh I forgot this is a royce melborn dictatorship and I cant complain, is there something else I can or cannot do please?

Ross Biddle.2367:

But those 2 were terrible, they should have had you many times. Props for you that you didnt let them.

Fun times in wvw…… Those bloodlust stacks are such a good idea for the lower tiers esp.

Look at the 2 bottem tiers, I know exactly how you feel(FoW) we have fought many times against one another I think.
Both our tiers are dominated by the sheer numbers of players, the dzg zerg in our bolderlands was bigger than the players we had in EB.
We still had some decent fights, one time we even got the arb zerg with the dzg zerg at our doorstep and still managed to completly destroy both. But after that it seems that our server noticed the enormous amount of players against us and many just left :/

Last week was one of the closest matchups we had in a long time, WSR had the numbers just like fow and even vabbi had some nice larger groups. This week is just a skip week

Rane.4079:

You cannot find a video of every class/spec beating a good D/P thief, if you think you can then that just means you don’t know what a good D/P thief is.

Yes, every class can beat bad/average D/P thieves. This thread is to discuss beating a good D/P thief, a scenario where both players are equally skilled.

Please stop posting nonsense in this thread. By all means please show me these magical videos of Rangers beating good D/P thieves.

Well I play a Ranger in wvw and I understand what you feel. Not only do I have multiple weapons with me for different encounters. The problem is that the thief can choose the fight, I cannot so I am probably on my anti zerg LB with GS. And against a good thief there is noway in hell I can survive that with just one block.
And yeah I kinda hate thiefs too

Some fights yeah, but this matchup is typical what’s wrong with the server matchup. Just look at the numbers those germans throw in, on top of their 3 stacks of bloodlust most of the time.
Still we beat the crap out of both zergs of dzg and arb at the same time. =)

I think the whole wvw is just one server? Everyone I see joined in wvw is at jadequarry server(D). Is that also for other server?

-1 weapons
-1 armour(afaik)

That’s weird I tried all 3 of them in LA and they did not register, but obsidian samctum did.
Well I guess it’s because I did all 3 of them not 24 hours ago, did not think about that.
Thanks for the tips guys.

Hi,
I play on EU desolation and after doing some puzzles I noticed the puzzle jump discoverer was not updated.
Is this been updated so you can only do certain puzzles you have not done before? It was not like that but I could have missed an update.

Magnetron.5823:

And today our keep in EB got attacked by around 50-60 ppl and we had the same amount of people defending..

And guess what..

ty

My lag was inside the keep. I do get slowdowns when we are defending a gate but noway near as bad. Few days ago the 3 servers bumped into eachother on open field and there it was very playable. So inside SM there is something weird going on I guess.
I can almost feel how many people we are up against when approaching the fight and feel the amount of slowdown.

Wsr has some weird population on their server. One minute they are like ants, they come from all places. While maybe 10 minutes later it seems deserted. Is that just pve people getting their daily or something?
