Guild Wars 2

I was wondering the same thing,doesn’t matter what settings i try.Never had settings on low before and it was fine.

Drak does have an influence on how many zerg UW.Constant 60+ zerg plus the 20-30 man camp flippers.Why not go invade FR?As soon as any keep is attacked thats owned by DL in UW you bring in a bigger zerg from EB.DL can’t do anything unless they have a huge blob.

As SPGR we have lost GvG against DSun(our first GvG ever) in which they are awesome no doubt, but I honestly believe that in WvW (maybe biased ) we are equal, maybe even better than DSun.

I think you can’t compare our two guilds. We are 40 members with around 15-25 online. You run in groups with around 35-45 on tuesdays.

Thats no QQ, but i think we are different kind of guilds.

Speaking of GvG: we are open for e revenge anytime.

..and DSun don’t run with 35-45 others?

Shadowresli.3782:

to all the people here complaining about our (DL) superior numbers, please present some proof. and two or three weeks ago, every morning befor i went to work (around 6.30am CET) most of the maps where capped by uw during the night. nowadays when we seem to have more people playing during the night you are complaining.
As someone said in this thread, as long as you do it, might it be nightcapping, golem rushes, etc., everything is ok, but when the opponent does it, it’s condemnable.
Thanks to the levelheaded people posting in this thread, and we will clash again for a week.
Good luck.

Drakk camp flipping team..

Maybe they have it worse with finding a job then some other country’s, shrug :/.

Aaaand that was used to explain why we lost against the Spanish server when we faced them. Funny how Underworld seems to always put the blame on other things when losing.

JeroenXP.5364:

Well that might be true but if drakkar wouldn’t be some bunch of chickens they could take the whole map, or maybe i should not say that out loud :P. But I had a few times there zerg was twice if not more as big and it took them about an hour before they finally dared too charge in our keep which they then just capped easily.

That could however be explained by the fact that they actually want people to fight against, and they know that our people would more or less leave if they too our keep.

It has nothing to do with putting the blame on other things.The spanish outnumbered us by even more than the germans.
They want to fight people who they know they will steam roll over,if it looks like they might lose they run back and hide in a tower.Never seen them take a camp with less than 20 and with the help of the “luftwaffa” nothing is safe

Just because miller and drakk where both in lord room at hills defending doesn’t mean they work together;)

hey..Drakk/ Millers… ever tried taking a camp with less than 30?

that’s correct Sir, where you the one asking about Blow up Sheep?

I just got the same mail…just ignored it.

He then quickly rammed the inner gate with no resistance……PvD imo.

memory is fine… i remember the 1hr i spent in WvW on reset night.

3am-7am…4hrs of PvD sure sounds fun.

Flamey.1430:

Well can that same ac reach the back inside of the lords room as well? Cover the Entire Keep Floor? Reach the inside of the walls on the ouside facing facade? Marvelous placement! Round of applause!

Just to make sure you knew about this tactic, but if the AC reached the lords then it was a hack.

Not only did it reach the lord room it was also hitting a treb set up on top of the supply point.

A guy from [Keen] along with a load of other kittens just took out seige at hills using zoom hack.No doors anywhere near they where against a wall firing ac’s at seige set up the otherside.

I’ll ask again…it’s a sPvP discussion with no mention at all about WvW,does it even affect WvW?

It’s a sPvP disscussion i may have missed it but i never heard them mention WvW once,does this even affect WvW?

Gahn.8150:

In WvW at the moment is all about Mesmer Portals, and who has the most numbers to channel true.

I don’t find it that skilled nor much thrilling now that the novelty weared off.

That said, to my knowledge, is the only Skill that doesn’t adher to the holy 5 restriction of Area of Effect spells (yes it is an Area Of Effect skill after all).

This spell shoud be a group utility spell not a mass utility spell in my opinion and limited to 5 people (Mesmer included ofc).

Discuss.

i give it 10mins and this will be removed and i get another infraction,it’s so refreshing to have another nerf portal thread.

Pathetic..people can abuse,accuse of cheating and many things said against Mesmers and they are left for everyone to see,yet i post a reply to some dude who is just making crap up and it’s removed and i get an infraction…

Gospel.7630:

To all you portal bomb supporters. What’s the point in upgrading walls and gates if I can port a Zerg pass all that? The only thing stopping the majority of people using portal bombs 100% of the time is most of us at this point look down upon it. If ArenaNet takes too long to fix this to the point where this moral code is seen to be more a negative than a positive? Don’t waste coin on upgrades because it’s ON FOOL!.

You do know that the mesmer has to be inside or on the walls to be able to port anyone in? it takes a fair time to upgrade doors and walls so if you’re going to hang around and wait you should spend the time sweeping for a mesmer.If you’re all going to move out and then come back to start another upgrade later… as soon as everyone has left i will call in the zerg.There’s no way i will wait for you to finish upgrading.People really need to stop trying to make it look like mesmers can port THROUGH walls and doors.(not talking hacks/cheats).
At most you wasted a few silver.

Victory.2879:

I agree entirely that this needs to be fixed- and a limit to 5 seems to be fair given all aoe skills have been nerfed to this amount too. Portals should also not be able to be placed within 10 yards of another one.
I’d also add that all stealths are stripped when using a portal and you are unable to stealth for 5 seconds after using a portal- instead of 50 stealthed peeps appearing all at once.
I’m not a great fan of something invisible being able to run into the middle of our lines and then 50 invisible people suddenly appearing as 30-40 of us hit the floor, having had no chance to even mash a button.
If people can co ordinate a pile of mesmers and portal bomb at 5 people a go with a 10 yard gap between portal placements then that will show a great deal of skill, instead of the current ‘portal a zerg’ mentality.
I think moving golems using portals is fine, as is using it for jump puzzles, but they need to fix the portal/jumping issues in keeps.

The big pink swirly thing that appears on the floor isn’t stealthed,takes a bit of skill for one dude to get into the middle of 30-40 of you,not one of you saw the big pink swirly thing or couldn’t kill 1 solo guy running thru your lines sounds more of a L2P issue to me.

iorlas.6721:

How is this awesome Mezmer managing to port past walls if you have already swept for him? either you didn’t sweep properly or you didn’t bother.I don’t know why people try to make it look like mesmer ports thru walls/doors and then gets the zerg in.There are very few places to hide and in lots of keeps nowhere at all to hide.Here’s an idea,next time anyone is about to lose a keep/tower try and hide see if you get found and survive until everyone has left.

There are a few point where you can walk up textures or staff #2 through obstacles or blink through obstacles allowing you to end in a position where you can enter a keep. That is, however, abusing a bugge dmechanism and as such should be reported and the accounts banned for a bit.

I know one such location but I never use this bug to get me into that keep. Unfortunately GW 2 is a game where people of different kind come together and some of those use hacks, camp in jumping puzzles with siege equipment and exploit bugs any way they can …

using a bug has nothing to do with it really,i have seen thieves using a bug to get thru walls.Fix the bug not nerf or remove a skill.Mesmer can not port thru walls or doors,the portal is only as good as the mesmer using it.

LegoTechnic.5910:

The Three A’s of Portals:

Annoying: Having to sweep for mesmers every time you capture a keep/tower.

Awesome: Portalling a zerg with or without siege golems past a fortified wall and watching the defenders scatter.

Anguish: Having the above happen in a keep you’re defending.

Karast.1927:

The problem with portal bombing is not the tactic, but the effect that it has with culling on low end machines, when combined with the use of AoE stealth skills.

There are a lot of guilds who have figured out how to use portal and aoe stealth skills to keep themselves culled when fighting enemy zergs / groups.

If you exploit the bug having 6-8 seconds of broken culling stealth at the start of a fight is doable and there are many who are taking advantage of this.

You can’t fight what you can’t see. If you see 3 players rather than the 30 players there it is a huge issue.

The culling bug needs to be fixed, but if it ends up being something exceedingly difficult or time intensive to fix, then the abilities that are being used to exploit the bug need to be taken offline.

I.E. portal + aoe stealth.

Now you want mesmer to lose AoE stealth? this is getting pathetic,why not remove all mesmer skills and just leave auto attack?which is obstructed by anything higher than 2cm.Culling is a bug? so by your thinking Thief should lose stealth and EVERYONE who uses the portal should lose their skills or maybe removing portal + aoe stealth will fix culling.

They HAVE told you stuff about WvW.

I remember very clearly them recently stating that they’re working very hard on big stuff for WvW and that everyone should be patient because they don’t want to promise anything before it’s ready.

Ahh so they are working on “Big stuff”….very informative.

Lyan.6804:

Assuming u all have exotics gear, how did u get them?
Unless u use badges equip, u had to pve, craft or buy.
And if u want pvp without equip stats u allways have spvp/tpvp.
Also usually pvpers want to have the best equips. So, if u want, u do it, noone forcing u to.
And how would u make fair ppl that have to do dungeons to get the items, and u would just have to keep aoeing a zerg to get same item?
Instead of this thread u would have pvers complaining wvw players get more benefits.
Kind of hard to balance things out, do 1 dungeon a day with friends and try to have fun in game^^

Got mine with Karma which i earned in WvW.If i want the best equipment i am forced to PvE.PvE’ers get tokens or whatever,in wvw i get karma which is useless to me so why shouldn’t i be able to use it to buy the gear? I don’t want to do one dungeon a day or even a week if ever,i do have fun in the game for me it’s wvw.You obviously don’t wvw,how is it fair that pvers get the best gear for just killing AI over and over and over? wvw is ever changing, dungeons are “fixed” do it once it stays the same.

OldRodKS.9758:

It’s a finishing move. You raise your hand high above your head and plant a flag in your enemy’s chest.

At least that’s the theory. In WvW, so many people have downed abilities that seek to prevent you from finishing them, that it’s difficult (especially mesmers…)

But it does work

Why especially Mesmers? something else to be nerfed?It’s always Mesmer,nerf Moa.Nerf Portals,Nerf Berserka and now downed ability.Do tell me what special downed abilities Mesmer has?

How about just stop whinging,be happy your childish ranting has caused the zerker nerf,i look forward to standing outside a keep seeing …Obstructed constantly.
If mesmer is so god kitten OP roll one and try if you think it’s so easy.It’s more of a learn to play issue,just because you don’t have a iwin button against a mesmer they should be nerfed.

Dee Jay.2460:

It does seem odd that something like Shadow Refuge would have a cap of 5 players and yet a Mesmer portal can teleport an entire army across the map.

I too have a hard time understanding how a single profession can have utilities that are 100 times more potent and valuable than those of any other profession.

You’re trying to make it sound like a Mesmer portal goes from 1 side of the map to the other,it doesn’t.if i want to port an entire army across the map i have to drop the entrance,run solo as far as i can avoiding mobs/players drop the exit and then we ALL have to wait for my cooldown to rinse and repeat.It’s faster to run.

Dhar.6392:

Fine- I’m missing the point, but then I’m more PvE than PVP for Mesmer… in fact it was my first toon… and my least played. So the nerf when it comes… no big deal.

It won’t matter much to my 80 Engineer, my 80 Warrior, or my Elementalist (soon to hit 80)… You Mesmers will do whatever- who knows… maybe the change will convince me to give it another try.

I was trying to find a solution that didn’t involve nerfing any particular class/ability…which inevitably leads Devs to nerf others; to compensate but all I pick up from you is that it’s impractical.

I’m quite certain the Orb issue was just as impractical. Hell if folks had camped the Orbs 24/7/365 they never would have been stolen eh? That didn’t keep Anet from removing it from the game.

Good luck with your Argument. I’m confident portals like Orbs will be history soon enough.

Orbs where removed due to hackers/cheats.The Mesmer portal is not a hack,cheat or exploit.I’ve played Mesmer from day one and is the only “toon” i have,no alts at all.I have np with limiting the number of people 5-10 maybe.As for hiding in keeps..it’s not that easy there’s not many places to hide,it takes a few mins for another Mesmer to check.Never tried or been involved with “portal bombing” i use my portal mainly to move golems around.

Mesmer also has – Desperate Decoy…Cloak and leave a clone at 25% health.The Prestige..Dissapear in a cloud of smoke reappear 3 seconds later…

Just to clarify deperate decoy doesn’t proc until about 10% health even though it says 25%.

Ya know i have never noticed that tho i try not to get that low.

You forgot to mention that the iBerserka is on a 20sec cooldown, only moves in a straight line every 5-6seconds,has virtualy no HP and dies in 1 hit or maybe2,the mesmer also has to be able to target the ac or whatever siege first.

Mesmer also has – Desperate Decoy…Cloak and leave a clone at 25% health.The Prestige..Dissapear in a cloud of smoke reappear 3 seconds later…

I was being chased by 7-8,ran to a high cliff and jumped did a perfect faceplant jumped up to watch all of them jump after me and..Splat they all died.I love my mesmer falling damage reduction never got any loot tho.

Of course i can say just that…i am not exploiting,i am not using a bug i am using a skill as it was created so as far as i can see i am using it “as intended”.

Luthan.5236:

Vayra.3290:

Yes of course, making infinite gold from karma is equal to a class using their utility skills in intended ways. . .

It is NOT intended to use the skill that way. And infinite gold never was possible. ;-) Was limited by the amount of karma you made and you still had to play the game for it. Not like hacking the server and chancing some numbers to generate something out of nothing.

Where does it say that it is NOT intended to be used this way link please?

Mass Invisibility 5secs.

LoL..how is it an exploit? is there a description that says…" Must not be used to bypass walls" ? learn to sweep for mesmers,i was hiding saw 3 enemys come looking just before the could see me i popped grp stealth, they should have spent more than 3-4 seconds looking;) they all left the keep,ported in another mesmer next thing you know we have 30 people in,thank you it’s now our keep and cost nothing:)

This needs sorting out NOW… not in a few weeks.
