Go shatter conditions to get a build remotely close to AoE damage for zerg fighting. Other than that, you’re basically a portal and veil bot in zergs and aren’t going to be doing frontlining or AoE. In zerg fights you can help out by putting pressure on the thieves that are trying to snipe the backline. If you are traited for phantasms they will track the thieves through stealth and effectively keep them from picking your teammates off to their heart’s content.

Unless I’m out of combat and equipping a focus to run long distances across maps, I live and die in WvW without swiftness. I try to manage to get away through blink and stealth misdirection, trying to backtrack on my enemy. Lack of swiftness It is the death of me more often than I’d like though. Knowing the blink spots is very helpful.

PPT is close (which would normally be indicative of a good match), but this is just a bad match (IMO) due to the swings and off-balanced populations.
I haven’t been able to play this matchup yet but what you’re describing sounds like a repeat history of a lot of DH/SF matchups. I remember once we played with FC as the third party and we ended up with a higher keep and tower flip on millennium than any of the silver servers simply because it was all three of our servers flipping chit and not fighting each other. But SF has historically been a weekend and reset server whereas DH gets our groove on in the weekday, so maybe that’s playing a part.

As I expected the typical ‘HEY EVERYONE SHOULD PLAY THE WAY I WANT’ response.
The entire premise of removing PvD is silly.
Why is it silly? The OP isn’t even asking to remove PvD with siege, which everyone will do anyways. The OP is asking that a zerg with the capabilities to take a undefended keep be challenged when the keep has defenders who have gone through the trouble of taking down their siege instead of smashing their 40 tiny fists against the gate until it comes down without any siege. If Anet made them go resupply after the defenders were successful in taking down their siege, it would give the game better depth to the defense vs offense game instead of this nonsense of “why bother defending against a zerg when we can go take something else for less trouble when they’re going to take it anyways with or without siege” I don’t see why anyone would argue against this unless they were professional karma train riders, which if they are, are just contributing to broken, stale mechanics in an otherwise open world player vs player environment. Have a little imagination when it comes to the possibilities of a tactical game, peeps. Plz and ty.

At the very least players shouldn’t be able to damage reinforced gates without seige. Its’s pretty dumb that all their seige is down and a zerg can pew pew a t3 keep gate down with their tiny fists. So so so many times out defenses would have been successful if it weren’t for that fact. But anet has given more and more rewards to the zergball so I have zero expectation for them to change this.
Yes it totally doesn’t make sense that a storm of lasers, bombs, bullets, fireballs and lightning can take down a wooden gate.
T1 walls are made of wood and yet you can’t damage those without seige. You were saying…?
The fact that there is one type of gate that can’t be damaged by players is the only thing that doesn’t make sense. My original argument stands.
The important thing is that removing the ability of players to damage gates without siege could improve gameplay. Since this would greatly affect tagging keeps, I think the change might have to also coincide with some kind of change to the WP system.
Aha, but that is something I do agree with. But I wouldn’t go as far as saying it doesn’t make sense. It just isn’t practical from a gameplay point of view.
Uh, no it doesn’t? Lol. Like Zin said, whether you could hit the gate or wall “irl” is irrelevant in a map made by Anet to make a dynamic and fun WvW experience. Reducing PvD would make it a better experience and game. But some people loooooove their easymode.

Read the link I provided. They used the word “anything” that changes the default view. You people sure have reading comprehension problems.
Having a larger monitor, or dual monitors, doesn’t count as “anything”, since the game options allow you to make the windowed selection. It’s not a comprehension problem when the misunderstanding is on your part.
Anything, any other tool or program that allows you to zoom further back, hence providing you with an advantage over other players, is not allowed and considered an exploit.
I think the word “anything” is pretty kitten clear. And read the above posts. No monitor setup gives you the ability to see over walls. If you arent already using the exploit, go figure out what your setup would look like in order to see over walls and use an AC in order to exploit that view. Please post a screen and argue that the view is a normal way to play the game and totes intended. You should try to play that way off your AC. Youll die in 5s from not being able to see anything on your screen. It is the very definition of an exploit because it gives you an advantage over other players and breaks the intention of wvw to be able to set up defenses.

Using the windowed mode ratios and the “boss camera” are simply clever use of game mechanics….
If Anet started banning everyone who used eyefinity with multi-monitors things would turn into a $!@#storm.
They are not using any 3rd party programs (bannable), they are using ratios that could be obtained via very large resolutions in the exact same way.
If you were to use the windowed mode shrink as an example, it would be the equivalent of having a string of monitors changing the resolution width to a massive scale, giving the exact same effect.
That is false information. I know people with multiple monitor setups who have confirmed you cannot exploit the field of view. In order to stretch your screen to the point where you can exploit ACs, your screen isnt legible, you can’t read your skills, and the game is unplayable except to exploit. Anets stance is clear. Done trying to explain to little boys that they shouldn’t cheat. You all are on your own now, but I suggest reading the two posts that Anet has already given: you are putting your account in danger of banning if you “use anything other than default view settings to give yourself an advantage over other players”.

Consider PvP: Being able to zoom out farther than your opponent seems a definite advantage. If a PvP player can see the entire map, he/she certainly knows more, and can react differently, than those playing the game as intended (who cannot view the entire map through normal processes).
The advantage-giving provision of the program is a concern to me, as a player, as it seems clearly prohibited by the policy. " Our general policy is that anything that gives advantage is forbidden; anything that imbalances the game in favor of one player over another is strictly disallowed."
Dug this from another thread answered about 7 months ago.
Except that windowed mode and changing your aspect ratio are both features built into this game. Press Options.
Did you not read Anets response? Anything other than default zoom is an unfair exploit. End of story.
Gaile was talking about the use of a program that helps with zooming. People with large monitors or different ratios aren’t the same as downloading a prog to exploit the game.

Stretching the screen is not altering the amount you zoom though. You are zoomed the same as the next guy.
In order to obtain the view required to actually see over walls to exploit ACs, you have stretched your screen to the point where you can’t read your skills, chat, read the maps. It is not the same view “as the next guy”, not even remotely close. It is no where close to default view and obviously not intended. Stop trying to justify exploiting the game. Using windows mode to mimic zoom mods is the very definition of exploiting unintended parts of the game, which Anet has already stated is a bannable offense.

Not 100% sure, but if Anet considers this an exploit, you might be infracted for your post. You might want to delete it.
As for fixing the issue: have the client (to save server resources) check whether the position you’ve targeted can be seen on a one of the “standard” monitor configurations. If not, the target circle goes red.
The server can do occasional random confirmation checks to make sure there isn’t funny business going on with the client.
It’s been posting several times (feel free to dig through the forums yourself) that this isn’t an exploit.
Please link these “several times”, because I’ve never seen them. In fact, I’ve seen on two occasions Anet specifying that they are against the rules, considered an exploit due to giving an advantage over other players. Once was Gaile Gray responding to a post about changing your aspect ratio, and the other was here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Which-kind-of-zoom-is-intended
They are VERY explicit that any other zoom other than default is considered a bannable exploit.
Stop spreading rumors to benefit your own exploiting. Anet has been a bunch of puppies about actually cracking down on this, but regardless, it IS bannable. This game is already on easymode, stop being a child and play it as it was intended.

Mesmer has all the tools possible to win any one on one and losing shows a lack of skill on your part not the enemy. Maybe you are fighting baddies with other classes and when someone decent shows up you die and blame your class?
Glad my ability to waste roaming Bronze Squire mesmers on my newly minted engi sporting Recruit rank is due to me being a baws and not bc of my build being the achilles heel to mes builds. You have given zero indication of experience in your incorrect generalized statements. If I may sum up, according to you all mesmers should be running cheese conditions with every possible condition coping skill and should be running away from any and all condition builds, aka 75% of the roaming scene. As long as you do that youre unbeatable and a total baddie if you’re not running such a build. You sir, are the very definition of a kitten.

Say that to mesmer and Necromancer. The only light class that would even stand a chance would be Ele and that would depend on the distance. Mesmer have Blink but it is rather weak considering its the only movement option (dont count Portal in a race) but hey, at least it has SOMETHING Necromancer doesnt even get that.
So, there goes your " light classes are still the fastest inside of combat with their mobility skills."
Did you just say mesmer has no mobility? Holy hell you’re worse at this game than I thought.
Please don’t argue unless you know what you’re talking about, frankly its embarrasing.
A mesmer should be taking only an occasional hit by a full melee warrior, no mesmer should EVER lose to a full melee warrior.
A mesmer that loses to melee warrior = bad.
For a giant condescending paragraph, you’re simply incorrect and come off as a pretty silly kitten.

Losing one on one with a roaming Mesmer ever is a pretty big declaration you aren’t good at this game.
I don’t know why I’m responding to ppl with no guild or server sig, I already see t1 pros posting. First of all, to the people talking about “pu mesmers”, you might want to go more specific. A mesmer traited for pu can be defensive, offensive, conditions, power, shatter, or phantasm. Torch optional. “Pu” means little about their overall build other than they probably carry at least 2 forms of stealth. Secondly, warriors pose two challengeds for a phantasm mes (I will speak of that build since I run it most)- exiting the fight and either regenning fully only to immediately come back before mes is full health, and glassy warriors with lockdown, usually bulls charge, shield but I’ve seen bow used that way too. People who are making general comments about mesmers beating errbody haven’t played competent roamers as a mesmer or aren’t competent themselves against a mesmer. The exception is when you introduce perplexity into the equation- war or mes. Run away or die to it, your choice.
A good PU Mesmer is one taking on clone death traits on a condition build and nothing else. Phantasm and Shatter can’t afford the points that are a waste for hybrid with PU. Losing to a Warrior with that build one on one would be a terrible declaration of your skill once again and if they run who cares since they will never kill anyone with that build unlike a Thief. Mesmers are the best one on one class pretty much no matter what build they play and should never ever lose one on one but don’t have the chasing ability to kill people who don’t commit to a fight or get tons of cripple from berserker without the ability to remove it.
Lol wat. You obviously have never played a roaming mesmer. We get wasted by condition builds even running melandru runes and soup. Honestly I’ve seen enough of your generalized drabble to mark your arguments as invalid. Come back and post after you’ve played as a roaming mes against roamers, plz and ty.
If you aren’t built for fighting condition builds and not good enough to avoid them then don’t fight someone who looks like a condition build? If you aren’t built with any mobility at all then why are you roaming?
El o el so your solution is to run away from everyone and their mother who runs a condi build. I can’t stand “roamers” like that. I run melandru runes, soup, and am often duoing with my guardian friend. I lose fights because mesmers aren’t the super!class all of you people are claiming them to be, with these silly claims like a mesmer specced into PU should win every and all fights. Thats just not knowing the class, or fighting against baddies. Some of you need more experience on the class, or better opponents, or both and you’d be singing a different tune. As long as you didn’t run away from every opponent who -may- beat you. Kittens. Done.

To the AR zerg that keeps coming into our BL to cap bay and then leaving.
Go for garri and hills. Only 6 people will show up. Don’t let the lack of the outmanned buff deter you. No one seem to give a kitten right now.
Uh, news flash, we don’t have a night presence. You posted at 4am my time. They wouldn’t have an outmanned buff because we were all asleep. DH gets our business done during normal NA hours, so way to come to the forums to throw your server under the bus for an night defense. Our guild still had a few on late last night you could have come to AR bl to ask for assistance.
We had 20 people on to take bay and the south towers. as soon as that was over we told all of them that they would be back right before tic to recap bay. no one stayed, no one listened. EBG had plenty of people, i went there and asked for help.
So ya, when 6 people show up to defend our bl maybe we deserve to loose it.
People logged off because they probably were too tired to stay up longer to keep backcapping a keep being taken by a zerg. That’s the name of the coverage game. I would know, having 6 people rallied in the middle of the night for home BL in bronze is an improvement- back when we played ioj in the spring and summer you couldn’t count on two or three at that time of night. Like I said, we were capping in AR, so pm a guild group next time instead of hoping for pugs at 4am.

I can bet there were some good fights on AR bl tonight between AR and ET… as you guys spent half the night popping orange swords all over bay. Bet it was funstuff, but meanwhile we took all four towers and hills, but were thwarted at garri (shucks). Dodging the orange swords was a little tricky but I think that nice green map at one point made it worth it Fun stuff though, got to surf around at SW camp mooching bags off of your fights and half-dead foes before AR put an end to that.

I /sleep when thieves go into SR. But refusing to fight OP builds sounds like it’s more of a pain for you than a statement to them. I never understood why roamers would rather run from even fights than engage. Losing stacks, losing pride, why bother unless you can improve your own gameplay and have fun doing so? People beat me fair and square all the time, but having people quit or run away is no fun for anyone involved.
And as a roaming mes who carries a torch and makes a lot of clones, I get mistaken for Blackwater all the time, even against people I’ve been dueling. If they check my food they can see that I’m not, but maybe something you perceive as a meta build actually isn’t related to it at all other than weaponset.

Good to point out too that the classes which don’t have the luxury of high armor and hp are backed into build corners. One of the best examples is the ele. As someone who mained a d/d, being forced into running a dozen boons to keep you alive is not only dangerous, it forces certain trait lines to be filled. Tried running without boons for awhile after the nerf, and eventually just moved onto other classes which aren’t quite as broken due to that fundamental imbalance.

Just show Anet your discontent and massively move from your server.
Showing Anet discontent by giving them $20? Yeah sounds like a great incentive for them to change things.
Wanted to express support for this. Darkhaven is in the same boat but in NA- we have always been Very High in population and yet never higher than T5 in the last year, fluctuating between T5 and T7, and guilds leaving have cited the fact that we will never get transfers as one of the reasons they give up on us. I don’t even understand what Anet’s “very high” threshold is even measuring, as we clearly don’t have a PvE population which compares to servers higher than us. I can’t even load into servers like TC LA without sitting for 5 minutes loading character models and participating in their world events gives me 2 fps, whereas finding people to do world events on my server is a challenge. I’m pretty sure they’re counting inactive players into that mix as well, or they drastically lowered the threshold for “very high” (it was confirmed they lowered it before Season 1, but how much is unknown).
Transfer costs need to be based on WvW rank at the very least. Population imbalances should be at the front and center of Anet’s attention in order to retain the large, consistent, paying, hardcore player base which makes up the heart of MMO longevity.

Just an observation is all. Have you recently fought servers in higher tiers, up to rank 7? Thought not. Sure they have a larger population base so it goes without saying youd see more people but there were more roamers. Both DH and FC seem to stick to their zerg balls for the most part, rarely do i see people deviate unless theyre in a guild group. IoJ on the other hand has a lot more solo/small group people.
reality does not equal this post at all.

why do lower tier servers seem more zergier than higher tier ones….
So says IOJ, nice jokes mister.
As to the person comparing IOJ to HoD.. I think your matchup would be an interesting one but I would put my money on HoD. Their zerg guilds didntt even log in for the last half of our matchup and they still held a hefty ppt all week. We saw HoD sipping Mai Tais on vacation. HoD sipping brandy getting to srs bsns shouldn’t be underestimated.

Hay everyone, thank you fellow bronze leaguers for a season of ups and downs. At the start of the season, DH was basically purged of our veteren players and WvW guilds, and through a lot of tenacity and iron hide we were able to rally the PvXers, a handful of vets, and a whole lotta PvEers. The nature of the game is what kept them around, thinking back to what got me hooked on WvW to begin with. But map chat and TS are fun, people are in good spirits, and I think everyone on my server is very proud of our performance this season. I’m still friends with a lot of my PvE guildies from the very first guild I was in on this game, and those who logged on solely to do dungeons are now putting overtime hours into WvW. Talking to people who used to only PvE before, there is a lot of excitement about WvW now. That was the outcome I had hoped for Darkhaven, so I’d just like to give a thank you to my servermates who stuck it out and to the other servers in bronze league- best fighters NA and people I’m happy to be fighting against: HoD, SF, GoM, FC, ET, DR, AR,* and honorary mention to NSP and IOJ, looking forward to fighting you guys again soon.
*insert Kaineng here with some extra special sauce- they are fabulous too. :x

Only time I’ve run into XSV was some silly warrior who runs into us, tries to 4v1, does no damage, tries to run, dies, and a mesmer who losieight was eating, hit with 2 nades and proceeded to promptly die.
I honestly have no idea where their ego is coming from.
Who refuses rematches? What a joke. Get over yourself.
And sorry for failing to 1v4 you! That’s clearly a mistake on my part.
I beat both of you twice with no losses.
Obviously we are terrible
<3
Grats on the AoE condition build vs phantasm mesmers?
Too bad the rest of your guild wasn’t running as OP of builds, otherwise they could come in here and brag too. But you know, bragging about winning friendly duels on the forums isn’t kosher, your guildies* are coolbeans in their gracious fights, win or lose.
*guildies plus HSSS friends, I suppose
Well, sorry, seeing as you called us out and were an kitten to me in party chat. I obviously have no right to react accordingly, do I?
P.S: Only 3 of my skills apply damaging conditions in an aoe. Dat spam
I never partied with you, I was the human. But I hear you were a charming one in chat too :P

You should check your zerg next time and tell me it isn’t the meta lol. When we fought you in the zerg, DH had 5 hammer warriors and 4 guards, All wielding hammers, didn’t notice any warriors switching out of hammer except for you because you had to leave combat, you can ask the the pugs that were in the battle
Note: There was around 18 DH, So the majority of them playing 1 ‘similar’ build doesn’t make it the meta? Plus, I see way more Hammer roamers than s/s longbow, I only see those at fight night.
Yeah, because two people roaming equates hammer train meta, only one of which is a warrior. You’re just grasping for straws now.

For hammer everyone goes ?/?/20/?/30 just because you add into the empty slots doesn’t really make it your build. Those are the ones doing all the damage, and reason why everyone is playing hammer, also why traits in that line are getting a nerf. thank god, too
I’m sorry but by that logic any Guardian wielding a hammer in WvW, any Mesmer using phantasms, any ele with offhand daggers, any engi using bomb kits, any thief using shadow refuge, is running a “META BUILD”. There is a reason you can trait into certain types of playstyle, and some work better than others for mobility and damage and survivability and happen to have certain weapon sets to go with them. And no, hammer/gs warriors aren’t meta for -roaming- the hammer is popular in -hammer trains-. Longbow S/S with conditions is meta, or S/Shield GS (stun HB) for -roaming-. Anyways, done running logic circles around you.

Solo roamers only queue maps and it worse for everyone, except the other teams.
Not sure if delusional or trolling. If you wanted proof, Last week when you played ET they gained 51,183 points from stomps and sentries. 31% of their score. Every yak, kill, and sentry is worth more than a “queue spot” (lulz).
So I take it you don’t accept scout information, supply denial, and overall havoc/misdirection from your own server’s roamers then, preferring your blob to have 51 people instead of 50. GG.

Was passing by Redbriar in SF BL and an Anet tag caught my eye…had a couple duels with him. Just came to apologize, I almost feel a little bad, it felt slightly like spawn camping :/
What class was the Anet employee?
What server was he/she repping at the time? (Cause it seems Anet employees swap servers quite a bit from the sounds of it (some dev comments in videos/red posts). Do they get free transfers or something?)
Twas repping ET at the time, he/she was very nice about the whole thing though…
