Only a WvW player will find this thread 3 pages back and bump it again.

Y’all necros be typin’.
While my necros be fightin’.
Seen?

This is still bugged. I haven’t been able to do this since the first time I leveled my main last year.

Why don’t you just transfer like everyone else did early in the start? And I don’t mean to the top like too many did.

Ask on the forum which servers need NA/Oceanic players. There are many. For example, Maguuma needs Oceanic players. We’re in t4 only because a lot of NA players don’t want to be in T3 where we lose everything overnight.

WTB bunny ear transmutes.

The infamous orbs roll around the map, ominously, trying to chase after people. They are also 100x their original size.

Water and Earth are pretty much the only time you want to use it. I’m contemplating switching it to something more useful, though.

It’s popular when you stop failing to use Evasive Arcana.

Every piece of leg armor looks like a ballerina dress.

The only valid point is that there seems to be no diminishing returns on CC. After 3 of any CC you should start to see immune, miss, or a reduction on duration. Unfortunately it usually does not take more than 2-3 chain pulls to take someone off a wall, even if they’re at the back of the wall and on a piece of siege. I really actually wish that elementalist’s staff’s gust didn’t fail so often. It actually does say “miss” without the person blocking or dodging.

This thread is:

TC doesn’t even lift.

Brome.7036:

1. Ele
2. Mes
3. Guard
4. Thief
5. Necro/Eng
6. Ranger
7. War

1. Thief (culling – best use of full zerkers – fast)
2. Mesmer (vast array of abilities – can also use full zerker – OP underwater)
3. Elementalist (high survivability and mobility – fastest roamer still?)
4. Guardian (highest survivability – hammer is super annoying)
5. Warrior (can also use full zerkers – kill shot is mental damage – shake it off!)
6. Engineer (can stealth and confuse people into thinking they are thieves)
7. Necro (boons into conditions – fear people off walls – huge health pool)
8. Ranger (roots – AoE walls with their amazing weapon swap ability that Eles don’t get to do)

How many golems does it take to kill Siegerazor?

And now for a word from our sponsor:

We’ve shifted our barely-awake focus onto TC’s East Keep, but they aren’t even trying to take it back due to our superior tactics.

I’ve made 2 gold in 2 hours of EB tonight. Thanks guys.

wispi.2194:

Is defense even worth it? Say you take a keep, or garrison, or even stone mist and hold it. You have to hold a camp and protect dolyaks to get upgrades. While you are holding your objective, the rest of the map gets taken. Say you hold it for 2 days and feel great you have your keep. What did you accomplish? How much karma, silver, loot did you gain?

Now, if you take something, leave it and move on to the next target, and keep moving, not defending anything, you will have continuous karma, silver, loot coming in and none lost from siege weapons, upgrades, etc. Enemy takes it after you leave, and then you come around and get it again for more karma, silver, loot, etc.

This is fine at times, but you shouldn’t just let people take a wp away when you could defend it if you pulled together. You get just as much karma/loot defending a sole keep on the 3 min timer, as you do karma training all over the place, which involves more dying and running across the map. In fact, you get way better loot from player kills than the PVE stuff. I get exotics off players, and vendor trash/siege off of npcs, grub, etc.

We need less NA players and more oceanic. I say less NA because we don’t want to be in tier 2 or 3. But if we’re going to be in t3 and have a chance to hold anything, we’ll need those oceanic players. Otherwise people give up. It’s not fun for me, despite the majority nobody-cares attitude people portray.

I mean, we’re failing on breakouts. That’s how bad it is. Next time I see a t2 team come down a tier I’ll know not to bother playing. Right now WvW = bank/repairs/crafting/maybe the forge. There’s probably some conspiracy theory where we’re trying to get the pugs to leave the server, too. You know, those names you’ve never heard of that are actually trying, and you’re being callous towards. GG

Maguuma sucks. Cap stuff and don’t defend anything. That’s the entire week. When I take that attitude 100 people mock me for being a “noob commander”. I can’t win. Neither can Maguuma, but everyone knew that.

I don’t look at it as an issue.

I didn’t say I lost to the thief that ported all over the place. It was a direct comparison with RTL vs Thief porting, which the latter is clearly overpowered, even without culling added to the mix.

And RTL nerf is annoying. I don’t care if we’re so much faster than other classes. That’s how we were designed and apparently it was okay up until recently. I play an ele because I like to roam solo. It’s getting harder all the time.

How do you kill necros that just spam your hp down in 3s? They apply way more conditions than we can remove. I just fought one with 25 stacks of condition damage and got destroyed, even a 2nd round when I attacked him when he was at 10%. lmao The RTL nerf is the only reason I couldn’t get away. I switched out of ethereal renewal so I got screwed over. I was using armor of earth instead of cleansing fire. I need 1 more monks rune still. I have no idea what I’m doing vs necros.

My server’s playing like complete garbage right now. Ugh.

Intigo.1653:

Dolyak Runes are horrendous, but feel free to continue living in denial.

You’re just going to be all rude about it without explaining why?

Having a ton of hp, toughness, and regen lets me run into a zerg first, aoe everyone, and get back out again most times. If I get downed, I get rallied from all the people I just aoe’d. You can solo a camp and defenders in it with this gear. If there’s better runes, so be it, but dolyak isn’t “horrendous”.

I expected a better attitude from someone in a decent guild that put out entertaining videos.

My press-to-talk (kept getting filtered) is right control. Not the best thing to use. lol
I use a G-15 logitech keyboard, and my video capture is f4, which is to the left of left control. The screen shows whoever is currently talking in mumble, and can also show pois, waypoints, etc. everything required for world completion (which I’ve done on this character).

Let me kick it up a notch with a screenshot:

My PVT gear has dolyak runes, and my Knights has ruby orbs. I don’t really want to switch to boon duration on either of those. I use knights in staff mostly as I don’t have a zerker set.

People need to test the runes out in spvp as it is free to do so. The last time I tried divinity it felt like a waste of better options. In spvp you can get away with full zerkers a lot of the time. In wvw you cannot. The culling is one of the main reasons. And increased targets and siege fire are the others. Plus, your hp is like 13k in zerkers. Divinity runes are 8g each right now and so not worth it. At least not for an ele. Just my opinion. I don’t do spreadsheets like some of these guys on the forum.

It’s been said that Maguuma mistreats our prisoners, but we tree’d them just fine:

I can’t even outrun a centaur now.

Why don’t they nerf the teleport range on theives now? Because there’s no way to catch these guys at all now. It’s like a 1000 yard radius in any direction they’ll just randomly be at. Plus, stealth. Plus they get a huge burst. The more targets a thief has to ping-pong off of, the more OP the porting becomes. I just leave when I see some guy doing this.

I’ve never used it in pvp before. The only thing I can picture using it with is S/D for even more burst. It’s the 60s cd that makes almost no one use it. I can see using it in pve, because you can easily swap out a utility there. In pvp you mostly side with what helps you survive or burst hardest. I don’t really feel that arcane wave is all that great unless you’re running zerkers or a using a staff. Basically you get an extra heal, or help stack might easier instead of gain something like a teleport. Storms seems like it suits staff, and nothing else. Meteor shower + Earth bleed and blindness seems like it’d be really effective against a zerg. Or chill leading into a meteor shower. I’m gonna test it.

lmao at the 8 man thief group of TC on our bl. grats you killed an elementalist and spammed emotes after. it was 1v1 but the spam of thieves just had to be called in for backup.

saiyr.3071:

Well played TC, we almost beat you

lmao What a bunch of try-hards.
Little do they know, they could have just used 1 ram.

Good to see DB/TC have time to screenshot the score while they’re standing beside the repair vendor.

Please pretend you don’t out-number us and post the score.
Only the new players upgrade anything because it’s pointless to do so.
You have 2 advantages: More players, and the fact you can stick 24 people on random doors without causing orange swords. So what happens? Out of kitten nowhere, Golemhasselhoff.

Stop, drop. Shut ‘em down, open up shop. Oh, no. That’s how Maguuma rolls.

Guild vs Guild gogogo!

I logged in this morning and filmed an hour an a half of EB ownage. Including TC taking mendons, capping it, and a guildy (Whoa) and myself followed in behind them after it capped. We wiped them, and took it from them after the buff was down. Good times. I also had full bags. I had 1 death in the span of 2 hours, and my party consisted of 2 level 8 players, a level 11, and an 80. No voice comms were used. Both TC and DB were farmed. Please tell me more about how bad Maguuma is.

Common expression while reading forum

Sierra.6352:

You kinda sound like one of those kittens who thrives on other peoples’ misfortune and whose only goal in the game is to feel like you’re a winner. Calling people talentless, even though it’s you(+ at least 4 of your friends) vs 1 person. In my eyes, if that person lasts more than 10 seconds, you’re the talentless one.

Please, if you are going to belittle others, please try and turn the aim against yourself first and see if you can live up to your own expectations.

I’m almost never in a group. In times when I’m in the puzzle part of me wants to make sure none of the enemies get the puzzle done, and the other half is me just wanting to do it myself. There’s people who keep coming back even with 5+ enemies killing people ahead of them.

When I’m talking about talentless kills, I’m talking specifically about a guild group with voice comms fighting a bunch of randoms in open field or trying to PVD something. They make videos of this stuff and it’s boring to watch.

I personally give credit to players who know how to dodge at the appropriate times, combo, and really know the ins and outs of both their own class and their opponent. People who use their environment to their tactical advantage, kite, and basically just adapt to any situation to either win, or make it fun. I /bow to these people if I win.

Either make more maps or reduce the caps. Like maps with constantly flipping objectives and no actual structures that require sieging.

I guess it’s fun for you to log into WvW and fight npcs since none of the other teams are playing.

I finished my personal story out of boredom. A free skin. I don’t know what to do until Friday when we’re back in T4. I really do not like Arah story. There’s huge gaps of time where you’re just sitting there waiting for the next phase. And the loot? Blues. There’s been no improvement in there since the last story I did. I haven’t done explore yet.

Some people are doing the guild bounty things, but I haven’t researched that at all. And I’m already not interested. I just want a fun PVP game to play. Where is it?

Always out-manned due to transfers make WvW players do pve. And pve is ugh.
Breakout events.
No more orb fun. No consumables, No siege in puzzles fun.
RTL nerf forces us to use PVT gear to roam.
White swords change makes breakouts and out-manned 100x worse.

If you pay to transfer to the full queue maps you will probably enjoy the game. The culling will probably be horrendous, though. There’s a small portion of players that like roaming with 5-10 guildies and picking off unorganized, talentless players in the mid-tiers. That is the only real enjoyment you can get now. Oh, and PVE. That’s all anyone is doing every time we are in the wrong tier, which is every other week.

This is all that needed to be changed: Wall jumping, orb hacking, culling.
We don’t get what we want. We get a bunch of stuff we don’t want that clearly makes it worse, yet more competitive for t1 and t2. Awesome. No. Not at all.

What desperately needs to be changed is allowing more players from the other teams to out-number a team’s home borderlands. If my team has a queue, and the other team has 60 players in just one side of the map, while my team clearly only has 30 players maximum on the entire map, what the hell is up with the queues? Maybe it’s just the non-team players on my server that are wandering around aimlessly, or maybe Maguuma is too full of trolls to care about WvW anymore. We do not belong in T3 and cannot do anything in it. If you like large scale pvp (as in sPVP is boring as hell), then you won’t get it here.

This angry post will probably be deleted despite being completely accurate, and agreed with by the masses. So make sure to save it, and laminate it on a t-shirt that you wear to the next GW2 convention.

At least don’t apply the tail and legs to the endless potions that we threw millions of karma into getting. They use the same character model of karkas, which are ugly. The change doesn’t make any sense to me. It was never problematic in any situation beforehand.

I’d rather it just summon a bunch of smaller tornadoes around me than do the transformation.

Only times worth using:

Standing on a small ledge, and fail at knocking people off of it anyway, because the whirl knocks people random directions.

And to flip it on and off as a break stun. It takes too long most times to bother with. Even racials are better.

I use knight’s with ruby orbs. A combination of pvt and zerker trinkets, half of which is ascended. 1 pvt dagger (battle), and 1 zerker (bloodlust). This setup is great in WvW. And I’ll use full zerkers with same runes in sPVP. If you’re having problems, try that. Also, it’s the standard 0/10/0/30/30 spec. There’s nothing better.

I don’t bother chasing thieves anymore with the new RTL cd. And I’ll bail sooner vs 3+.
