Guild Wars 2

You have to always be in a golem to counter backstab damage. Didn’t you know?

Probably not a new idea, but why don’t you just put a red circle on the end portal placement if it’s out of range of starting position? Then green if it’s safe.

I don’t have a mesmer (yet), and think this would be more helpful than staring at your minimap, or counting X(seconds).

Art.9820:

I wonder what would happen if they nerf golems teleporting through portals :O

That’s a good question. It would hurt lower pop servers badly, though.

So you’re going back to WoW then? Because I don’t think there’s anything fun in that game. 25 man heroic raid achievements are memorable. But that’s about it. It does have open-world pvp, though. In this game, however, it’d just create even more thief-rage.

The fotm bug I had at harpies for ages was fixed. I just went into it like 2 weeks later to find out it was fixed.

They need to put patch notes right in the launcher. Blizzard does this for all their games.

It’s nice to see someone other than us fight Zerg’s Bend.

Hmm, I’ve been doing it solo all this time. I mean, it’s only Yak’s Bend after all.

SteepledHat.1345:

Why is that funny to you? Have you yet to learn to spot a mesmer, lol. Probably.

I don’t believe I was asking for any nerf. I said it didn’t really bother me. What are you? A warrior? Take some time to stop slamming your head on things and learn some reading comp.
;)

Clearly my signature is beyond the realm of reading comprehension.

How to spot a mesmer: Target them. Watch the arrow above their head. So hard, bro.

Average # of times an ele gets up after being downed: 5%.
99% if they make it through a gate portal.

Using the staff as a helicopter.

You only get banned on boxing day.

A mesmer asking for a nerf on another class: LOL!

That was awesome. I love the in-character Asuran laugh.

blah. That’s not nice.

For D/D ele 0/10/0/30/30, PVT wvw gear:

I currently use bloodlust, and battle. Then I swap out bloodlust for force. Would generosity be the better choice over force now? I have a 34% crit chance during swaps, and auras. The thing is we remove conditions really easily when swapping in and out of water. Still, vs a cripple reflected and removed on self, that’d be gold.

I don’t go in Eternal that often. I was surprised to see not only did Ebay allow a WP to be made (by Yaks) at Overlook early in the week, but it was completely fortified, too. What do you guys do on your breakouts? Get 2 towers and leave? That’s terrible.

It is customary for the lowest placing team to move up one spot (when transfering), unlike the players on Yak’s who moved up to a higher tier altogether, and brought it down a tier as a result.

Edit: This isn’t a troll post. It’s what hundreds of players did when their server was losing badly during the mass free transfers. T1-3 are made up of 95% transfers.

This week’s tally:
1st> Yak’s Bend
2nd> Maguuma
3rd> Supply camp takers

Score update after Ebay transfered to Maguuma this morning:

So far Ebay and Maguuma have a combined 40 Omega golems for reset. Our goal is a sustained 200. They will be used throughout the following week all at once vs Yak’s.

Merry Christmas!

First place of previous week is always green. Then blue second, and red third.

Every camp flipping team should have 1 support in it. Ranger is highly lacking in this category. Mesmer is most used.

Counting down mass zerg to Enternal Battlegrounds. You have 1 hour to prepare.

Don’t worry, Tatania. You’re not invited to the cool kids party.

Emerhy Bay and Maguuma have formed an alliance for next week.
Yak’s Bend watch out. We’re sending you down to T5 where you belong.

People are complaining about those who choose not to waste their gold on trying to stay in 2nd place? Really? LOL. You need a roaming group if you’re ever going to get any pvp worth mentioning.

Things Maguuma cares about: Killing people. Making the other teams look bad by out-smarting them, or screenshotting them doing something terrible. Mastering defense when we have 100 players vs 10 of us.

Things Maguuma doesn’t care about: WvW. We have a lot of regulars, but most of the server doesn’t play WvW. We don’t care about first place after playing the same team for weeks and realizing after the first 30 mins how grossly out-numbered we are. I, personally, don’t care if I die 20 times in a row face-planting into enemy siege, as long as it goes down. I don’t care if it takes 2 hours to repair a wall, I’m repairing it until it’s finished.

The reason the gear you buy in WvW has power, vitality, toughness on it, is because your character needs it.

I don’t put so much stock or gold into these events. I got a little doll pet before I knew about you being able to transform into one using the item, so now I can’t do that, I don’t think. I want to make an endless tonic if possible before it’s over, but I’m not going to spend more than 5g on trying. After it ends, and I just end up with the doll, and some achievement points, that’s good enough for me. I’m not part of your “player community”. I’m satisfied with the Winterveil turn-out.

If they could change anything, I’d say to put more info available while in-game, rather than on the wiki to prevent people from missing opportunities. So instead of that last line that says “to make a toy mini pet” it could say “to make a toy mini pet or used in tonics”. People skip a lot of dialogue boxes on NPCs. I don’t know if they are mentioned anywhere in-game about how to make tonics from the toys.

Wear all PVT gear and you’ll never need to worry about getting hit again.

Forum pvp outline:
1) Post witty, but cruel comment.* 2) Get reported for it. 3) Get an infraction. 4) Repeat.

*Include image: Probably won’t get reported if it’s proven.
*Include video: Thread locked.

I was just standing there admiring the burning oil
when SPLASH
Right in my face!

What’s up with that?

Thread going according to plan.

I died once last night. I think eles need a buff.

Nice wall jumping, Ebay. You must be desperate to win on an event week.

I don’t even join groups. I can’t be bothered following people. I see an enemy, they have to die. I don’t care if they have 20 and cannons. I’m not going to kitten I’m going to use my skills the way they’re meant to be used.

Yaks is pretty much a pve server.

And apparently my game needs to crash after I teleport to a waypoint after taking all the Yak’s BL camps solo.

@Tatania
The fact is right there: You (at Yak’s Bend) cannot pvp in a 5 man or less in WvW.

That has nothing to do with “my game”. smh So much drama instead of actual competition.

Just now 5 of us were pushing your west keep and your 10-15 player defense would not leave the cannons. Respect? No.

Awesome. I used some magic find food that transformed me into a mummy. Left that form and my character was stuck in permanent gimp/cripple walk. Had to relog to fix it. Lost my stacks of bloodlust. blah

Why does he keep backing out and trying to school me on how to win WvW? I don’t care. At all.

I’m logging in now to pick off as many strays as possible. Have fun!

Kneel and wave. Then open map and spam way point.

Ugh. I can’t see any posts now. LOL quality forums.

If Yak’s Bendover wants to set themselves apart from the superior-numbers-to-win category, they need to step up to challenges, rather than complain about some guy talking down to them.

Seriously. Find a guild that is good enough to roam, with co-ordination, and you’ll get more respect. I still have yet to see one.

I’ve seen single players here and there. Like warriors with never-ending buffs lately. What’s up with those guys? Buffed? Those are some good fights.

One of my mouse keybinds just stopped working today. I don’t change keybinds or make any kind of changes like that. The keybind = T in-game. This used to happen in beta often. Now it has happened recently after a long period of time of it working.

What class has problems with Eng? I can’t think of any.
They are mildly annoying. I just stand in the bombs so I can kill the Eng faster.

edit: The only real damage nerf from grenades should be vs siege. That’s it.

Nice format of the topic. Interesting ideas. Getting the titles now are like going for Legendaries in the time aspect. I’d like to see them broken down and given out per tier of progress, sort of like how they do it with sPVP.

Skins is a great idea.

I wish we had some way to choose which servers we wanted to fight for some kind of tourny.

More regulations in place for out-numbered. Especially do not count the players who are at the starting zone doing nothing. Have it count after they’ve left the invulnerable area and stay applied until they are AFK in invulnerable for 5+ minutes.

Unlimited supply is bad. You should only get 10 per player. Having it drop siege that only needs 10 supply or less is bad right now, unless you get 10 free max. They need some quick overhauls to this first release. It’s not a big deal, though.

I’m guessing that’s server population?
It’s nice to know Maguuma’s had an influx. Feel free to play WvW. grr

It could be worse. I played MUD where another class was able to steal gear you were wearing, and permanently damage it beyond repair. I didn’t play it anymore after I found that out.

I’m more interested in backstab damage being nerfed into the ground, than worrying about stealth issues. I don’t mind a thief being able to do quick damage, but they shouldn’t be doing more damage than a Keep Lord in the first 3s.

Does EB have a breakout, too? I’m pretty sure we all have raged about the setup at first, but it’s manageable now. Could use some tweaking. Like maybe, don’t let it constantly respawn in 2 mins. Don’t let it happen at the start of a match when the surrounding places aren’t even started on upgrades. West Keep is a pain to hold, and now it’s like food for whoever spawns SW.

Caine must be trolling, because he’s certainly being obnoxious.

They reduced max amount of players that can use a portal. Just bring more mesmers. It’s been said several times. Stop making more threads. Or post in the mesmer sub-forum about it. When you think about it, it’s obvious the mesmer is a highly valued member of the team due to the fact they can transport an entire zerg into inner keeps from outer. That’s an excellent, but OP ability. I still want it to be possible, but 10 player max per mesmer would still be an acceptable change. Mesmer’s carry teams. Just learn to play better instead of relying on 1 player to dominate the field.

Portals aside, the never-ending clones are more tedium. The mesmer is the Deathknight of this game. They have sooooo many goodies that benefit the entire group. My only regret is not making one sooner. I still don’t have one. My ele is fun, but nowhere near as valuable.

I have 5 puzzles left to do on my main (ele), and always think at the end that if I had’ve rolled a mesmer main, I could have transported all my guildies to the end to save them the work. I love puzzles.

Once again, they have sooooo many goodies. Pull, reflect another pull. I don’t know the actual skill names. They just rule. A portal nerf is the least of their worries.

@Fiennes
How are warriors OP? LOL

Wow. There are so few warriors out there for you to make that argument. If any class should wreck a thief, it should be the warrior. Especially high crit ones.

There are way to many terrible thieves out there for me to worry about how to counter them. It’s only when they group up with another thief, or a mesmer, that ruins my day.
