Guild Wars 2

8k ? run naked much ?

my max hit was 2k on gc thiefs

Who cares this is US servers.The Real action is in the EU..TlOlolol ,No ,Really
:P

Wow. I applied to All Bls and EB for over an hour now and im still not in :/.Gl getting a guild raid in WvW.

Hi Augury Rock.I hope u had some nice time mixed with some spotman’s headache on Durios in Eb .I was really determined to hold it and the Pikeys fought good.Most of our ppl were camping Gandara’s keep as always so we were a little undermanned ,but we put up a good siege defence.You guys are really persistent i give you that,not many would have tried a 3rd full assault on the tower after all those tens of siege bps and catapults lost .Not to mention u guys probabily wiped your keep clean of supply too.Good fight.Cheers to the commander!

Woodsman Silencio.9361:

ps: what the holidays proofed to you Piken is that you guys have a weakness: your randoms have not as good as an organiciation behind them as with us on Gandara or as on Augury Rock.

It is funny since all that proved the exact contrary about piken’s randoms.I remember Ar had a huge lead because of their new player transfers and xmass night getting them a big boost ,and while piken was 90% of the time outmanned by you guys we still hold our own pretty well and the week ended almost a tie between Gandara and Piken.These are just simple facts and it actually proved to the guilds that randoms have an equal part on our server.Also for everyone’s information Piken’s EB was always 90% randoms especially since GoodGame started exploring the other Bls and i don’t think that being a random is by any mean an insult to anyone on my server.

As i said,pretty funny that you claim that Piken’s weakness is it’s randoms when in fact they actually held you guys back for 2 weeks so glamorously.

Also funny how the same poor weak randoms held EB and your keeps all night and capped your keeps the other nights last week.

Cheers.

Thank you very much AR <3 this morning

This is only for the lolz so please don’t take it as something different.Sometimes WvW is funny like that.Quenoz pls don’t kill me for stealing your video

Oglaf,just because 99% of the warriors are so bad that they need to use bull’s charge+quickness(LOL at quickness wasted skill)100blades to do some damage doesn’t mean the gs is meant to be played that way.Gs is meant to combo with a ranged weapon but i mostly preffer longbow,once u get urself in the right situation pop the gs and quickly finish whats left of your target(note i said “what is left” ).And tbh 100 blades is the best defense weapon against annoying thieves,pop that after a sword throw at the right moment and u’ll see sparkles.Mos warriors think 100blades is the main offensive tool and how wrong are they.Maybe against some afk or terribly bad pvper since as i already said the greatsword’s main advantage on warrior is the mobility burst factor and none of those can be found in the 100hblades skill ^^
I lost count how many thiefs i killed in stealth because the ability to immobilize them without having to target,or dodgers that didn’t make it because of the boomerang effect of the same skill ^^

How do you get 5 stacks of might at weapon swap ? I can only manage to get 4 at max

Gs is the best melee choice on warrior for 4 reasons:

1( and the most important if you pvp)mobility -2 cc breaks,evade,speed.You can catch up with ppl,you can run away from a zerg faster than with sword
2 best burst burst
3 awesome double cc(double cripple +double immobilize) on 10 second cd o.o
4 mobility

A second good choice is sword in mainhand but lacks burst and has only half of the mobility gs has plus lacks the ranged cc so not as effective to catching up runners or kiters.

nr4 represents the most important reason to use it as ranger too.

Also Gs is better in groups since the gs trow cc is piercing so u can basicly immobilize and cripple multiple enemyes(good for pve too),or get stalker off your back very smoothly.

Solution is quite easy.First one goes up a tier ,mid stays and lowest drops a tier.No headaches whatsoever.

Except the 1st and last tier where one only drops and one only goes up.

Ok Gandara seriously kitten.I mean it was a great night and all and we had great fights,now we just fought bravost for a good while and capped it ,then continued to fight outside of it with you guys like a 15 vs 15 for 20 minutes or something .Then sudenly you are inside the tower capping it.Please explain to me why you put up with this kind of behavior.I mean the obvious is obvious that no mesmer could be hidden in such a small tower for more than 20 minutes with a lot of people inside defending it.So why did you accept such low help.Ruined all my fun,we were having such a great fight and you would have got the tower back anytime soon anyway.I would have expected that you should penalize this kind of behaviour and not promote it ,but at this point one can’t just put it all on a random singular isolated case when all the people in a map contribute in accepting that help,voluntarily.I am really sorry for all the good people that we fought and logged out just before this happened and hope they understand im not out to troll your server’s reputation ,i just hope you try and educate the population to not tolerate such actions,condemn them and not accepting them as help.This things have the tendency to ruin the fun for everyone else and for no achievement in course either.

Over all obove this it was an excellent night up until this point wich forced me to log off.Good fight zerglings ,especially RG,ouch those stealth bombs still hurt my buns :p

My only effective way i found to kill or make a d/d ele quit the battle is a rifle+leg specialist.Unfortunately without it just equip a gs and run away,not much to do regardless if u run bunker,more ballanced builds or full Gc.

Also i really doubt any non dps build like with X/X/30/30/X without a rifle can scratch d/d ele unless they are terribad.One because of the eles insane mobility and inability to cc even using hammer.Second because even if you manage to cc him u will never have enough burst to down them,they will just mistform or something and heal at 100% right away and you’ll be doomed.Unless u are a bunker guardian and annoy him to death until he leaves ^^

I want to say i hada great time last evening on Eternal Battlegrounds in the treb wars with my pikey comrades.I hope we gave you ARs a hard time in the Klovan/WC/SM triangle while u were trying to siege us down from Stonemist and we kept countering with eles,trebs and counter siege.

Good job to all the pikeys that fought valliantly despite being outnumbered and most importantly having no commander until midnight.It took a lot of will and persistance to take the fight back to SM even if we didn’t have enough man power to do some real damage on inner.

Good fight all both Pikeys and Augurys.

Good luck ,hope Gunnars will benefit from the wisdom u aquired in your seven years on Piken Square

Only ele mist form in downed is rather broken.I mean the cd is too short making it impossible to stomp an ele before he runs inside a tower.A warrior has the same mechanic only u need to counter 2 stomps timewise to be able yo get up and run,yet ppl still get their kill.With ele is impossible to kill one inside a tower,impossible to stomp or kill if near a tower.Might seem an insignificant detail but it is huge repaircost wise and not to mention the defensive power with all that aoe and impossibility to kill them.

Well you gotta at least give them a +1 for calling themselves Luftwaffe

Riselight.3695:

Well well, AR and Piken are working together again, and this time in the Jumping Puzzle.

Oh cmon now,as someone already said 3 way fights like that are happening every minute in WvW.Posting a picture being stomped by 2 enemies shows nothing else than the possibility they killed eachother soon after,nothing strange at all.Someone humped in the battle and probabily chose what he tought the fastes threat to eliminate before proceeding to the next.

Also about that anyone holding on some alliance argument makes me smile quite a bit,maybe that is why the whole 6 hours i played this morning in EB consisted in ping-ponging between golanta attacked by AR and rogues attacked by Gandara.Had some really nice outmanned fights since we were barely 10 ppl on the map and somehow managed to hold our turf for most of time.

At one point SM switched very quickly w/o yellow swords and i went to check all around to spot leftover siege,wich i haven’t(pretty normal lately), but was probabily a golem rush right ?This paranoia

Some funny glitches might have happened but overall both you guys put out a decent and respectable fight and i wish u all a Happy New Year!And good fights to follow!

Pure demonstration recreated by some good folk that want this ended.Funny when u run into this several times in WvW.

The problem of thiefs increases.Only last night i run into 4 pro macro thiefs with quickness.-They killed my warrior with 24k hp and 3.3k armor in 1.5 seconds,including the finisher 0.o.I will try and make some vidz today,but there arlready people that posted videos about it.I think quickness should be removed altogether from thieves since is rdiculous to get killed in less than 1.5 seconds by someone still invisible.Very fun mechanics i say

Also how do you report a macro thief?If you check your log and you see all thiefs skills spammed in less than 2 seconds on you is clearly not someone any kind of fast fingers can do,in the perfect same order,while still being stealthed since the rendering only kicks in after you are dead.This is basicly a funny godmode..Hope Anet will look into this or add a new report option.Botting is way too general with all the bots out there to actually find and investigate pro macro user thiefs .

My ultimate goal is to make 50k gold,then buy a commander tag for any person in wvw

HI there .Thanks a lot this is some really coolwork you have done.I checked it out but i am already used to my configuration and it seems kind of unnatural if i switch to anything else after 5 months though.I just use a more simple 1 sheet configuration for gw2 since there are not so many skills to worry about and the main reason is I mapped a RightClick to any of the left lever used asWASD keys so any time i press them automaticly switches to camera mode in combination with right lever as mouse turning.Feels a lot quicker and more like a console game that way.Also for pointing i also mapped a Toogled RightClick on the pressure key of the left right lever so i can switch to a non combat camera mode if i need to just look arround or do anything while im not in a fight,and just the pointer if i need to use it for ground targeting.

Looks like you put a lot of work into this and i know how it is since i mapped mine for Age of Conan where you needed multiple sheets due to the huge ammount of skills.Thanks for sharing.Im glad more people play an mmo with a 360 controller

Imo this should be made a sticky.

Hello Anet.I play this game since release already and i must say above all the other things in pvp only one is especially annoying to me and that is there is no map key to cancel your target.

Ok there might be Esc and click on the ground but they not exactly the most efficient way to cancel a target especially when you are in a fight and trying to use a quick movement skill as a last stand of survival.

I really hope you will add in one of the future patches a hotkey that can be mapped with cancel your target.My personal problem might exist because i play the game from a xbox 360 controller(I know right ?What the kitten) and mapping is already a complicated endeavour so i might be a dreamer but it would be great to also add some support for the players that preffer a gaming controller over mouse and keyboard.

As a note i can say it is my 2nd mmo (my 1st being Age of Conan) i play only and entirely from a controller and with the right mapping to it you can easily simulate mouse and camera movements as if they were a mouse,yet it works a lot better in controlling movements and camera that actually using it as a mouse pointer.This kind of support will definately improve many players experience who are not so much into the classic method.

Thank you for this game and thanks in advance .Happy holidays to everyone!

Well normaly i can easily kill most thiefs even while im stealth because the are so god kitten predictible.Most of them basicly run into my attack and kill themselves before they can backstab.,or they get trown out of shadowrefugee with a knockback because they sit there right in the middle of it.

Yet this doesn’t mean the culling combined with stealth is not over the head broken.Last night i had a thief doing backstab and 5 heartseekers in a total of six attacks without even being rendered.I was strugeling to run away at 10% hp and just because i run full tough/vitality build,but if i were any other class except tank guardian i would be dead.

I am ok with thief doing insane ammount of damage with a backstab while being invisible,but being hit 6 times in a row by something u can’t see is ridiculous.Anet should really fix this and soon,and tbh im not sure fixing culling is the solution either since the clients take more time than intended to draw thief models after stealth giving them unfair and not as intended advantages.

I also have a thief,my 1st toon and main for a long time.Just for the record.

Glass canon builds are just for lazy ppl who basicly can’t come up with somerhing better.There are so many alternative builds in this game and thinking tank or glasscannon is simply put low imagination.

I for example run with full toughness/vitality/power armor,toughness/precision/power trinkets,and with some minor tweaks from jewels i loose only 20% crit damage and 10% crit chance comparing to full out Gc.But i ge the advantage of 3k armor and very high hp pool wich guarantees me almost infinite time in the battle making me actually do a lot more dps than gc build.

In the end it’s all about your dedication and that is the best reason i hate partying with glasscannons.I know is just a personal opinion but a lazy build means a lazy player that will anyeay slow down any team.My1.5 cent

Also i don’t understand why ppl say warrior has bad condition removal..It has 1 shout,1 heal with 2 cond removals,signet with all conditions removed, TRAit that automaticly removes cond and if u are human also race skill that removes 3 cond.If you combine all these with some perks and runes you get a huge ammount of condition removals.But hey most warriors need bolas+ quickness to land a 1h blades (only 2 slots where they could have all cond+1+stunbreak)so nothing to see here^^

Breakout event on borderlands is downright silly,also it should happen once every 6 hours or so,not non stop.It is making defending impossible against 2 invader servers at once.Especially if your server can only afford to populate 1 borderland.-

I mean a mechanic that makes the defender already outnumbered 2to 1 in their own borderland should not get any help from even more npcs lol.This is a really bad ideea from Anet imo.

Ok .I will roll a lvl1 new toon,unequip all armor and weapons and come to wvw.Try to kill me with any killshot if this skill is op like many try to make it seem.

I give anyone 100 tries of killing a lvl1 naked toon with killshot and i can bet my xmas presents you can’t make the kill.

It is nice and all that you can do a 33k shot by running glass cannon and shooting at a lvl 1 naked target,but this kind of threads are playing rather against the warrior class wich is not even by far as powerfull like many like to believe.My tips are to all the nerf warrior fans are to learn to use some toughness.ALso there is no proof that the actual target was not in downed state already in wich case everyone knows you deal double damage to downed targets,wich is most likely the case in that screenshot.

I am really sorry for the random disconnect guys,but personally i believe that alt+f4 was a lot more annoying than this and had to go.Imagine someone that does really crash so often you guys say(and somehow still play ) and in the few moents that they get some action their opponents just keep alt+f4ing,much more frustrating.I still believe at the end of the day this is still a nice tradeoff.Why would the majority have to be punished for the sake of the few with bad connection/hardware probblems?

Also queving to other maps while in wvw also needs to be disabled while in combat.It feels very unnatural.The timer on accepting the move is so long that you can basicly run back to your base on foot into total safety and accept the transfer.Or,if someone really is so desperate to change maps exactly while in combat they should accept dying,teleport to wp after death ,and transferr.Plenty of time there to do so.How long is the timer anyway? 60 seconds?

So yeah ,dying while transfering to another map WHILE IN COMBAT is still fair if you don’t take your time to get out of it in the many ways there are available.

@Lamefox it is time to get over it already .If you really dc 20 times in a day to have a bill of 20 silver i would rather be too frustrated about so many disconnects to bother about repair costs.If you casually Dc once per hour like everybody else than i believe 1 silver/hour shouldn’t e such a huge problem.A

Also in wvw the % of time we spend in combat is less than 20% since 80% is just moving arround the huge maps.And you cannot posibly convince me that you dc so often in that 20% window to really matter ,it would mean that you averagely dc once every 10 minutes at wich rate the game would be unplayable and no one in here especially Anet will believe that the repair cost is your real problem.

All you say it soinds like mere excuses for someone that used at+f4 consistently and can’t really come up with some better reason to trow it back in Anet’s face.

Alt f4 was a lot more annoying and causing pplto loose more silver .This is not fair to the minority that are really unlucky to dc but is more of a fair tredeoff for now .Sure a logout time would be better and i hope they will implement it someday,but some ppl need to understand that was not funny to never haqve silver to repair your armor becasue the alt+f4 on downstated had become ridiculously popular.In the last days i rarely fought an opponent that actually didn’t use it.

If you have to spend insane ammounts of gold just because you DC you should not be playng wvw in the 1st place ,leave the spot to someone who actually meets the requirements of playing an mmo.It is unfair for people to miss on the the rewards needed to repair their armors just because the problem sits at your end.

Ps: I play with a very bad bandwith,my network is divided in 3 almost constant users and i play from Wi-fi and still don’t get disconnected so much right in a mid of a batlle to cause a big problem.Actully the silver i miss from altf4s helps me repair the bills a lot faster

Rp server has low numbers in WvW during one time winter event ? Nonsense!

We from piken had a post deleted about Elona walljumping into our keeps(LOL).Let’s try to keep this friendly and not pointing towards eachother,especially when you have the upper hand by a longshot

Anyone else has this feeling that everyone that complains about disconnects are actually altf4 users ?

Everyone was exlpoiting this big time.You can’t really fool me into believing that everyone that i ever saw “Dc” just before i was to apply the finisher.I have almost 5k kills in WvW and i mostly run solo,that means i made at least half of those kills in 1v1s and 1v2s(not zerg tagging)and i can say NEVER and i repeat NEVER one opponent Dced while he had the upper hand while also every time i saw someone with “poor connectivity” it only happened when they were about to die.seen this hundred of times.I am not a statistician but i would dare to say nobody the cases of random disconnects in a fight are less than 1% and if you are one of those than Anet is really not responsible and should not obscure the majority of their playerbase because such a small minority.As far as i’m concerned Anet made a 1st good step against griefers.If you can’t take a beating then stick to pve,also if the connectivity is poor contact your internet provider and stop ruining the fun of ppl who already did so in the 1st place with conspiracy theories.

Knew this was going to happen.

Things like being in combat and escaping from a zerg safely into your keep. Then the moment you reach the inside safety you disconnect = auto death.

Seriously,what are the ods for that to happen?How about unbind alt+f4 and move on

There’s no reason it should ever happen because there’s a simple way of preventing intentional abuse of the system that doesn’t kill people who disconnect when they’re not in actual danger.

I will bite this again.Maybe you missed the you are not getting penalty unless you are engaged in battle part.I don’t see why ppl should renounce their right to have their proper reward just because someone has a bad internet provider.Anyone disconnects sometimes but i personally preffer to deal with it like man.I most definately can’t believe that someone will dissconect so often after they run inside a keep being on the verge of life that will cause a financial problem.If i would disconnect that often i wouldn’t play the game tbh,would be much more frustrating that the miser silver i have to pay for armor repairs.It is almost clear that such projections are only being constructed towards exploiting.

Recently.1043:

Now that its fixed, i think its a requirement in every build haha. Once you go fast hands, you can’t go back.

Haha,true that.I can’t even play another class properly because of that trait :p

Not changing much since i always have constant 20 stacks of might on my war

Awesome mobility+ 2 root breaks,awesome dps and awesome 3 sec root+ the cripple on target(s) in a piercing straight line if specced right(basicly you can root an entire zerg if they stack together).Greatsword not that great ?Sorry for my english :p

/quote Nightcapping scoring ideas. One idea I had was to make it so that if a server has say, only 5 people on WVW at a certain time, and lets say one server has 50 and just took over the entire maps. Perhaps make the points they are earning less? So that instead of say +600, the server does some math so that if no one from opposing servers is on it only gives maybe +200 per tick tally. Or if literally noone was, only +100? /quote

Something like this.A very easy fix vould probably be a score multiplier.Make it for example that if servers have the same population on a map points will go as normal.When a server goes down to “outmanned” debuff the score points should decrease by x in order to prevent a group of 5 ppl to take over the whole 3 maps and hold them for 6 hours just because everyone else is sleeping.Happened many times,even took sm once with 5 ppl lol.

Problem is that this can probabily be exploited also like one server not going to any wvw maps after they gained a decent advantage to prevent being surpassed.One of the main reasons not many or no changes can be made.

Hmm .maybe only more guard npcs at night or something ridiculous like that ^^

All i hate about night capping is how only a small party of 4-5 ppl can do more damage on 4 maps in a few hours than an entire server at peak hours,so some npcs could take care of that.Honestly if you still have a zerg at night you deserve the points.

More jump puzzles!
