Guild Wars 2

I found the place to drop but this looks nothing like the pillar that peopel used to be able to land on. I fell a few levels exploring and found the secret room 3 or so where the purse can be bought but not the one from the falling pillar.

I know that most of the Fergs are honest players, but the [HP] guild (Harpies Pride I think) DO have hackers in it. I’ve seen them move like they have STACKS of swiftness in combat, zero cooldown for skills ( bull charged 4 times in a row) and ignore control effects ( ran around with a guards scepter 3 immobilize glowing around him). So if any Fergs read this, pay attention to them and please report them as I can’t get their names

You do realize stability allows one to avoid being CC’d, right?… Lol probably shouldn’t teach you anymore tricks = Less loot bags for me.

Surprised it took you that long. Back to ganking your reinforcements.

“Ferguson’s Crossing- Throw enough of them at the wall and some are bound to stick” And yes that is a massive field of deployed but un-built siege your zerg built to finish the last 5% of the Klovan gate that took you forever :-P

What is with that resolution? O.o

It is 5992 × 1080. Just a little wider than normal for my three monitors to allow for bezel compensation. It does make seeing the commanders names on the mini map a little difficult to read when hovering as the names get stuck behind the bezel. As for Arrow Carts, I do not see a quarter of the stuff the guys with the zoom hacks see it just fisheyes the wall and makes them taller when you stand next to them.

Worst kitteny idea ever. not only do the bottom servers get the kitten end of the stick for PvE rewards now we are going to get throttled even more. Kitten this development team, never spending another dime on this game.

Well now that DR has hit rock bottom, who wouldn’t be excited about being spawn camped by servers 11 ranks above us. I can’t wait till i get that bloodlust buff! s Anet will not see a dime more of my money for these horrible idea.

Ha, thanks for the bump, on Devona’s I see the SF and FC zergs rush our garrisons with more golems than we have people defending. On a side note I can’t wait until the league starts! Getting roflstomped by the likes of Storm Bluff and Kaineng is going to be awesome.

can you at least give the the top 3 servers of the group “vaseline finishers” so when they molest us without our consent, it doesnt hurt so bad?

Diverting topic and would like everyone’s opinion.

Since we are all on the lowest tier of servers, what are your thoughts on the new League system coming out for us? Especially since apparently the first server you log into is the reward you will get no matter how many transfers you make in the 7 weeks.

Our horrible Devon Carver said he cant help how many ppl WvW on each server but we should all use this as incentive to make ppl WvW more and ask people to transfer to our servers which there is no incentive to do if your reward is based on the first server you log into. (WvW boards under server merge topic).

Run of the mill Anet…. "sorry not our problem that you server is underpopulated and we make money when people leave your server. evil laugh oh free transfers to the ones under you…

bradderzh.2378:

The issues are not usually that a server has low population, it’s that a server has a low wvw population. A top tier server that has lots of dedicated wvw guilds around the clock who primarily care about wvw don’t neccasarilly have a higher population than lower tier servers, it’s could just be that the ratio of wvw to PvE/spvp players is higher.

However, you can’t tell people what game type to play, so you will still lose each week because they don’t want to help out in wvw.

The issue is, that while you may be on these lower tier servers and still care just as much about wvw as the higher tier servers, you are essentially on the wrong server and if this system rewards the heavily stacked servers more it’s only going to promote more stacking.

You mention in this post why nothing is changing here. We can’t merge servers based on what percentage of players on a server play WvW. We make determinations about servers based on their overall population. Your best bet is to use the influx of rewards from the season to convince people on your server to start paying attention to WvW. Or convince people to transfer to your server to boost your WvW ranks.

If your reward is based on the first server you log into on day 1 of the season why on earth would anyone want to transfer to a lower WvW population server. There is no incentive for people to come to the lower tiers, you have effectively screwed the lower tiers and promoted the higher ones. This is sounding more and more like a page from SWG when they tried to change the game’s fundamentals and that did not end well for them. I thought it was gaming 101 on what not to do…. Thanks for sticking it to us again!

They love screwing us on Devonas Rest and not even giving us the courtesy of a kitten around. Free transfers to everyone below us so they kick the kitten out of us, lets do that. We have to have the lowest pop of any server and no not just WvW pop, there is a severe lack of population here in PVE as well. You say do the work ourselves get people to wvw, I say find me kittening people. If it smells like kitten, and it looks like a kitten it probably is a kitten?

Stick a fork in DR we were already dead. Anet has been molesting us from day 1, every single one of these changes has made us even worse off than before. The straw that broke the camels back is now finally here.
-signed a ranger on DR

Man your turrets!

There will be changes to the classes, and rangers. How about something constructive in the forums rather than straight comparisons of apples and oranges?

We have to have apples, to compare them to the oranges. Let us know when we get our apples.

Sad to say we dont bring a lot to the table when it comes to wvw and dungeons our F2 skills are laughable at best, our pets are maybe effective if they dont die, and if we trait so our pets dont die, then we can do no damage. Essentially we are guardians without heavy armor, Warriors without heavy armor-damage and elementalists without providing our team anything useful that is not provided by someone else (besides fury) . Bring your pesonality and your knowledge of other classes, lead your team dont die, and gradually we may learn to be a bit respected. I think some of the best theory crafters I know in this game are rangers, due to the limited viable builds that we have we are constantly looking for ways to improve ourselves and find limitation in other builds. Keep your chins up but things will not get better. Anet is satisfied that we have the (crappy) tools that we need to survive.

All this talk about pwning – zerglings, and roamers. “My kitten smells better than your kitten!”

Yes! Finally we can put our superior range skills to good use. “Rangers, man your turrets!”

Used to run a 20/30/0/20/0 trap/condition build in wvw and pve. Most of nature was used for spike damage reduction, but If you are defending a tower you can swap over to (unmovable) spirits, to buff your team.

8/10 a bit dark though. Wouldnt want to run into you in a dark alley.

Seems like everyone on DR that was farming the last week has a commander chip and wants to run them at the same time. What a disorganized mess. Great fights last night Fergs, if our server pulls together we may give you some resistance, as it stand, we are sinking to the bottom like a rock. It was really hard to get them to stack and listen long enough to and wipe your golem rush on our EB Garrison inner (the one bright point that still gives me hope). It is going to be a long week and our server has a lot of learning to do.

HarryHellspawn.6519:

it seems that’s all the whole server can do is hack yarr especially they just took out all the superior siege in a fully fortified tower with zoom hacks although I know I will get infracted for this and all that other happy horse$hit tell me something to all you hackers out there what do you get out of it. How in anyway does it make you feel good to know that the only way you can win is to hack your way to victory because you don’t have the skills to win legitimately. Sad is all I can say you are truly sad and loathsome.

Most of what i see from yarr is legit, had a great 1 v 1 duel with one of their thieves no victor. Got owned with an up leveled guildie vs 3 of their thieves and 2 of their server puggers at a camp last night. (we just wanted the skill point behind it, but I wanted a battle so i dove in). Yes they spammed laugh emote after spiking us, but it is just part of the game, so learn to play or learn not to care, most of them will have to be at school next week anyways :-P. It is just a game. Zoomhacks are a plenty so not saying that someone wasn’t using them, but most of their crew seems more interested in roaming and looking for a challenge than hacking to take towers.

Just wanted to thank Yarr for playing clean on my duel with the sword dagger thief on their BL, it is a bit late so I have to log. It was a good battle that lasted way too long, and neither of us was going to win. Sorry those other two from our server decided to play hero, I tried to ask them to stop but it was too late. Thanks for not killing me in the melee that ensued, much respect. /bow /wave PS. sorry for tagging that mesmer that got a little too close early in the battle, thieves disappear quite often and you happened to be next closest target.

Maybe time to ask this question again…

“So ummm is this normal numbers for HoD?”

Pretty sure their zergs took everything on all the BL and all came out to EB. Don’t know where our server is, and we can’t get an outmanned to even have an incentive to stick around because of that “other server” that is in the matchup. They are running with IoJ and GoM size zergs now everytime I manage to log on.

Don’t worry AR most of us on DR know how you guys feel and the majority of us respect you enough not to take everything you have and spawn camp you. We may take it from HoD, so they don’t get the points and reset it for you guys to take back a little easier but, most of the time we don’t bother defending it. But for the most part with our limited numbers we are just trying to keep the massive HoD zerg off our stuff, which proves futile with 3 to 1 odds.

Yeah… Never see DR zerging and building siege to camp our spawn OH WAIT.

I did say most of us, didn’t I? There are people on every server that think that kind of behavior is acceptable. The rest of us have honor.

Sinester.3572:

DR crying we have numbers we ALLWAYS had more coverage then u guys we took all ur stuff in every matchup what u expect? the few ppl in DR that posted on the forums that we just win DR because of the other servers guess what u guys just make points and are balance whit us because of the other servers now heres ur lesson do not trash talk whitout a reason next time this time theres no stronger server to fight us back like the other matchups so we can focus and do our thing dont get mad, and about AR u guys look so awesome but no ppl at all u guys should transfer here! so we can all be stronger!

Never said you win because of other servers, and no one is crying. You have numbers pure and simple. Don’t expect us to hop servers because you have numbers. All the more reason to stay where the skill is ;-D

It has been a great match up so far, we may get rolled over more than not on DR, but these match ups are about constantly learning. So I am glad I learned about this new AC spot today. as a new commander and only having around 6 guys in the tower to defend against the huge numbers you guys put up in your 40+ man zerg. It just totally devastated us. 4 of our guys on the ground floor were down in a matter of minutes and all of the siege was destroyed by it too. So I am glad I got to see where it was hiding. I will definitely have to remember this spot for the future.

well.. since mos is down… here’s a late night sexy score update for anyone unable to log in and itching for their fix

<3

Things looking nice for DR right now. Just please don’t take bragging right screen shots when you night cap everything this week. We can make this marriage thing work, I know we can, I don’t want to lose rights to half my badge harvests :-P

Anyone else noticing issues with line of site when using the shortbow?

Post patch my Shortbow, seems to have issues being “obstructed” while firing up short inclines and ramps. This is not like the lack of arc that all bows (read lasers) have when shooting up at enemy’s on the battlements. This new issue never seemed to be a problem previous to this patch. Maybe it is I am just paying more attention to the wording to tell when I get into 900 range of the enemy watching all the “out of range” notices pop on my screen, and I am just noticing more “obstructed” notifications when I am running up a ramp and shooting at the enemy.

I think I would ask them why they think that a good majority of the Ranger class is so severely disappointed with the recent patch changes?

Are rangers supposed to be a thief without stealth (and DPS), a warrior without heavy armor (and a kitteny version of banners that die after two hits), or just a supply runner and node farmer?

Where would they like rangers to fit in, we deserve to know as we had finally found viable builds and they did not like what we became? A non buffing Guardian with a pet obviously wasn’t were they wanted us to be.

Zuer.2814:

Pretty much in the title. But if you can’t figure out what I’m trying to convey by that then just know that “Ranger” isn’t in reference to the word range. A ranger is a woodsman, outdoorsman, or someone who acts to protect the wild.

Just figured I’d post this. It’s annoying reading the forums and seeing people say that we should be the longest range or best range class when to justify how they think the ranger should be played.

Well kitten, if I knew I was going to be a thief without stealth or a warrior without heavy armor I would have just rolled one of them.

Incurafy.6329:

hyjaxxx.1584:

Im firmly convinced that every single employee of Anet plays a thief. of course the thief community will scream otherwise..but until missing,being dodged, or blocked takes a thief out of stealth…i will continue to believe that the class is being coddled by the devs.

I’m not going to go into why you’re wrong on every count, but trust me, that couldn’t be further from the truth. We have only ever had less than a handful of posts from devs, and one thread created in attempt to put all of the QQ in one thread so that our forum might become as useful to fellow Thieves as other class forums.

Sadly, nothing has changed, the hundreds of pages long thread has disappeared under the flood of QQ and it’s unlikely we’ll ever get a dev respond to any of our serious feedback or suggestions. It has never happened, and I doubt it will any time soon.

Thief Wars FTW…. (but seriously nothing would get done. most legendary thieves run away from my upleveled level 55 thief that does 30 damage a hit in WvW. I can t kill them but i can stay alive and keep hitting and stealthing enough that they get frustrated and run away)

stop qqing roll a thief anet loves them…

Ah! the glory days when rangers could group and drop spirits and 3-2-1 spike in HA. Yes it could be countered easily but it was better than iway…. kittening llama warriors. Now our Short bow hits the shins of our enemy. (well if they are asura it may be a headshot)

thunder…. thunder….. thundercats!!!!

i am very happy with my spirit build…. they never die or anything and have a really quick cool down! :-/ s

JonathanSharp.7094:

Yes, we care about the forums. We also care about all the classes equally.

Then could we respectfully request an explanation of what the changes are supposed to be aiding/addressing, as done frequently when large skill change patches were made in GW1?

Because at the moment, it is hard to comprehend why many of the changes made to the ranger were considered necessary (in my case, particularly in pve).

Having put in the effort to make the Dreamer, I’m feeling particularly confused and dismayed that it’s purpose has been changed – it no longer fills the purpose of long-range weapon, nor does enough damage to fill the purpose of melee weapon…so to use the weapon I spent months crafting I now have to sacrifice the utility of one of my weapon swaps…

What this guy says. Trade me my dreamer for another legendary weapon that may be useful on ranger. Thinking something melee. Worked so hard all to have it jacked to hell.

best advice delete and re roll.

My new build uses all the infinite farming tools. shhh they may nerf this soon too.

used to run sb lb with traps (had nothing in BM and didnt bunker), even had the dreamer. It was a versatile build where I could set up for traps and under siege switch over to spirits to help my group out, but Anet kittened that up. Your better off going sword dagger, broadsword and axes. Leave the bows to melee classes like thieves and warriors where anet thinks they belong.

So sad that i worked my kitten off to get the dreamer. What a kitten waste.

So sad i got the dreamer. Now i have to save up to buy the collection of infinite use harvesting tools so my ranger has a purpose in the game.

WTF am I going to do with this dreamer I finally earned? The Unicorns hit the feet of the thieves as they run away now? no more concussion shot to make them rethink their lameness. It is a sad day when a “ranger” has to petition the gaming company to actually be able to be a ranged class. I wish I could trade this stupid bow in for something not so useless to my ranged class like a greatsword. GS leap = 1100 / SB = 900 = I can jump further than I can shoot a short bow.

Well Anet is kind of between a rock and a hard spot here. kittened on if they didnt kittened on if they did. A little change never hurt anyone, so everyone needs to put on their big boy panties and roll with it. It was us the players that broke the original system to begin with. Now the majority of these servers get to see the complete lack of hope, and no chance of winning that DR faces everyday of the week. :-D

You can just do what we do on Devona’s. Not buy or upgrade anything, think this is part of the reason Anet sent Borlis to us this week. :-P

16 golems and a zerg of 30+ (All about to wipe) – Looks like you got bored doing PvD and all went to do the jumping puzzle last night. Did you forget that this was peak hours, and not a night capping exercise?

What the kitten I finally have time to complete this and now they dont spawn? Guess I wont be able to complete this event, thanks.
