Guild Wars 2

Used to be able to post a picture on the match up thread and the enemy servers would deal with it internally but since the match up threads were wiped there has been a huge increase of exploiters and hackers because they know they can get away with it now…

Only hacker I never cared about was one in the TA dungeon that could 100 blades a boss for insta kills….. Fastest dungeon run ever!

Dworkin.1734:

Salute

I think that practice when only commanders buying mostly all siege stuff is not very fair. If they are good on the battlefield, let’s give them opportunity to fight, not to farm.

I suggest to create some kind of donation pool, and gold from that pool can be used by commanders for buying upgrades or siege equipment (in that case all sieges should be soulbound). Donators can be awarded with some kind of “Hall-of-Fame” ingame page or/and some title.

Also this will be a good method of gold sink, imho

Sorry for my bad and poor english =[

You should come to IOJ… Common practice for pugs to send their commanders siege that they pick up along the way to help out… I myself have commanded a few times and by the end of it when I check my mail I have things ranging from rams to omegas and superior siege

Don’t blame ya for quitting, every week I play less and less myself for numerous reasons… Mainly revolves around the WvW issues and the lack of care towards that side of the player base…

My suggestion would be get a ps4 or new system, maybe wait out for Elder Scrolls Online… Play league of Legends or grab Battlefield 4

Bios.1398:

will be full of d/p thieves and pu mesmers

And “fear Me” warriors with a terrormancer friend

Yer going to the new map is either 5 man thief squads or strait up zergs of PvE people with all ascended gear, as a roamer think I’ll be sticking to the BL or EB depending on time zone.

Oh and the lag is horrids right now too :/

No room for solo roaming.

Buy a staff, give it to a guardian and run around in the giant champ train hitting empty towers…

IF you do decide to solo roam, watch 2 people hide in towers until 10-30 man blob runs over you then have siege thrown on you “cause you a baddie”

Good Luck out there !!!

I would like to thank BP for allowing us to quaggan zerg them in EB under our quaggan guild “Fox Goes Ding Quaggan says [COO]”, your pugs are awsome for joining in and so is your organised guilds…

YB on the other hand, thanks for the laughs when you killed us then /laugh and threw siege on our dead bodies and danced around, glad we could make you feel good about beating harmless quaggans :P

Good fun all up, thanks!

So yer tried again by standing at enemy spawn and tapping keep….

Just stood there, wasn’t gonna start a fight just wait to see who wants to fight me, out of 10 people only 2 bothered to attack me and both were uplevels :/

the other 8 just ran past me like I wasn’t there but I found a cool trick atleast…. Be a ranger and EVERYONE wants to fight!!!! – Problem solved I have my fights again

I got ascended ring at rank 30ish, another at 110 roughly and ascended weapon chest at rank 40ish on a seperate toon… Pretty sure it’s just randomized

Golem mastery would be awsome!

Mastery list:
1 – Increased Movement Speed
2 – Teleportation anywhere on the map next to an ally
3 – Increased health
4 – Increased damage x2
5 – Self made 15s null field

Having 10 omegas take a paper tower just isn’t quick enough we need this mastery list asap!

grave of hearts.7830:

Now if they fix the real exploits like the ele fgs bundle doing a lot more dmg than intended i would consider anet getting somewhere.

I’m gonna assume the FGS rush mixed with lightning flash in a certain way that drops about 40-100k damage depending if it crits or not?

I got a guildie who can do it and watching him instakill 4 people cause they emoted him always makes me kitten myself with laughter

Just wondering if anyone solo roams any more basically…

Spent an hour in EB solo roaming and all I have come across is 5-10 man teams, trying to resurface from BF4 but doesn’t look like the play style I enjoy of 1-2 man encounters exists anymore…

And please don’t say “play sPvP” – Horrid build diversity, terrain is shockin, the whole cap point is crap and restricting to movement

Always better in an Omega

So, I’m pretty hopeless at trying to make an argument valid but I’ll give it my best shot if any other people want to chime in and help out.

Anet, can we please get our WxP account bound earlier than said, I don’t speak for everyone but to me it seems disappointing that WvW was overlooked again in a patch.
I think it’s safe to say that WxP being account bound would keep alot of us happy for a while.

I have some reasons why it might be a good idea to allow this to happen, although they may be wrong reasons.

1: With the PS4 and Xbox One released and personally having one of them on preorder already I can safely say that if WvW is still being neglected like it has been I don’t see myself comin back to play this game, I am one gamer, but I doubt I’m the only gamer in this position.

WvW is the only game mode I can get from Guild Wars 2 that I can’t get from another game. (that I know of.)

2. From a business point of view: Your living story most likely makes money from time to time, with people buying gems for various things, now the people who Living story a lot don’t actually need to buy gems because they run dungeons alot and do various PvE activities that provide a decent amount of gold income for them to exchange to gems, BUT, the WvW community makes next to nothing on gold income and are FORCED to buy gems to transfer servers, if you keep neglecting the WvW community so hard then you lose more and more potential customers who think it’s worth it to change servers at the 1800 gems price, leagues was such a great example of how much money alone you made off gem sales and guilds transferring around from the WvW community.

Unless people on this thread wanna back me up or not but all myself and maybe others are asking for is some sort of love towards our end game, with new games, new systems and months to wait for something good to happen with this game, naturally I’m sure a few people are losing interest in playing your game anymore, less people playing your game = less potential $$$ to be made.

I can safely say coming from a WvW focused guild, more and more guildies have decided to stop playing and started playing A realm Reborn among other things, some even went back to League Of Legends of all things.

Recently my beast mastery III for ranger has stopped my superior sigil of battle from working.

I use to be able to self stack 6 might from swapping pets and swapping weapons but now I only receive 3 stacks of might instead of 6 and it only comes from swapping pets, the battle sigil does not proc anymore.

I have gone to playing mesmer now but everytime I try ranger for the last 2 months I have had this issue and my build revolved around self stacking 20+ might

This happened not so long ago, was hoping it would stay so disco!

Oh god, I forgot I got chased by a zerg near CD keep off the bridge into the water then caused swords cause of how many followed me

All classes are as just as useful as each other.

Some zerg better than others while the others are better roamers or scouts than the zergers.

But my list:

Zerg -
1: Guardian
2: Warrior
3: Ele
4: Mesmer
5: Engie
6: Necro
7: Ranger
8: Thief

Roaming solo – Camp flipping, slapping yaks and scouting.
1: Thief
2: Mesmer
3: GS warrior
4: Ranger
5: Engie
6: Guardian
7: Necro
8: Ele
(mobility seems to decide the top 3 of this list)

party of 5 roaming
1: Mesmer
2: Guardian
3: Ele
4: Ranger
5: Necro
6: Engie
7: Warrior
8: Thief
(My choices due to how useful those classes are for the type of roaming my guild does, but we also tend to troll the 5 mesmers sometimes)

these are just from what I have seen and my own personal opinion

Zerg:
Mostly agree with your list. Only changes are that I would put Necro as #4 for a zerg. The top 3 are certain: guardian for boons, warriors for CC, eles for water fields/ static fields. The necro comes next is has great for AOE damage.

Roaming:
Thief and mesmer are by far the best. I’d say condi stealth mesmers are even better than thieves in the current meta plus are the best 1v1 class.

Party of 5:
This is the hardest to rank. I think pretty much any class can work in the right team comp.

I only put necro so low cause conditions are horrid in zerg fights and I don’t see many necros running a power build unless they are in an organised guild group… Mesmer got #4 but again thats my opinion cause every pug with a mesmer over uses veil which is handy most times, without that veil mesmer would be sooooooooooooooooo much lower in rankings aha

All classes are as just as useful as each other.

Get a fire sigil into that GS of yours

Or cata from across the valley and treb north inner hills from that hill in the middle of no where

ARAH – shoulders and vestments
CoF – Pants
Dragon Helm skin
Unknown – shoes and gloves

Gunsnroll.2657:

And what stat will you choose ? Berserker will be the better DPS option.

What ever best fits the build, I run hybrid gear on some of my toons….

I’m a pure WvW player by the way so the bits of gear that are zerker across the 9 toons I have play a vital role into the build that makes it work :/

Just spent 4-6 months making ascended berserker gear for it to be taken off me…

Awful reminder how much I should go outside and actually accomplish something instead of buying $50 gems every 2 weeks

Ok so….. I have 1 question, 1 question I think some of us want to know and that is:

After spending 4-6 months saving laurels, spending time collecting mats and doing general things to save up for our ascended Berserker trinkets, weapons and armor is there any chance of re-selecting the stats to these items like you gave us with explorers gear a while back?

I don’t know if I’m the only one that feels like I made an impressive house of cards for someone to blow it over on me but I’m personally not keen to rebuild that house of cards unless the person who blew it over can compensate for it a little bit?

.
.

It might sound harsh, but games are a waste of time in life but playing a game that reminds you of this is kinda…. a wake up call I guess.

I’ve met many people through the party system, 90% of the time it’s a friendly chat or offers to duel but yer the other 10% of the time it’s cause 6 people taunted me with /laugh so I hide in towers till I can wipe the 6 with 3 guildies then throw siege all over them or something similar….

I hate playing emote wars 2 but personally if you start it I’ll consume enough Zhaitaffi to throw up all over you!

How much would this effect a hybrid build?

Say you’re a mesmer and your stats are;

Attack: 2947
Crit chance: 42% no fury
Condition: 1401
Crit damage: 71%
No might.

How effective would the build still be taking into account that if someone has too much condi removal I usually have to rely on my zerk weapons and side of the build to effectively bring someone down.

I’m from IOJ, and our current match u…… eerrr….

The scores this week between the 3 servers currently fighting eachother in our tier this whole week have been 3k point difference, it’s not always this exciting but welcome to WvW and try to keep in there when you faceroll or get facerolled

could happen, I wouldn’t have believed it till I seen a guardian on my server use his focus and judges intervention into a group of 3 instantly downing all 3 of them, he used that 1 skill and bam, a warrior, guardian and ranger all downed….

I asked his build and he runs burn +10% and aegis +20% plus force and scholar… zerker.

To my knowledge no combinations of skills can AoE that much damage. Single target maybe under the right circumstances. About the strongest I have seen is a Meteor Shower. Technically Hundred Blades could do it but nothing on a guardian has that much AoE damage. If that happened in front of me, I would assume giant cheater applies unless we are talking about 3 uplevels.

Nah 3 level 80’s, most likely zerker zerglings but like I said, I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t see it for myself

I have met many people from other servers through cross server pt, but the most I can say I’ve done while chatting to them is randomly turn them into a moa.

Feels cheap though to kill them or try to kill them in pt unless we’re both a class that doesn’t have stealth

We need ac’s to counter the ram masteries, until we can have fortified doors it’s the only thing that stops a zerg from getting a free tower cause standing on the walls to defend is near impossible, oil is worthless and cannons are too.

Bring back our threads!

And yes this match up has been awsome for a roamers point of view too, CD has amazing roamers hence why I’m always in their area

<3 white charr mesmer from [RUN]

Thieves need a buff….

Or most thieves are bad….

Not sure which one though…

Hello Crystal Desert, I am from IOJ and all I want to say is…
…
…
…
These last 2 weeks have been extremely fun matched against you guys, I have met some awsome people on your server like [CLAV] and [Sig] thieves, an [SoV] Scepter/dagger ele, some nice [TKVA] people and [PPP] groups.

Due to no match up threads I thought I’d post it here but keep up the good work rebuilding CD after your drop out after leagues finished and I hope to see you all continue to fight your kitten off like you have shown for the previous 2 weeks

<3 the white charr mesmer from [RUN].

I’m more getting over WvW due to the roamers, can’t seem to find any solo roamers that actually want to fight.

tPvP has been fun but no build diversity bores me.

Guuuuuuise don’t be mean lol

It’s kinda cute and if WvW was so……“rewarding” a year ago I probably would have done the same when I first started out.

Anyone else find it interesting that the OP stated that everyone has the right to play regardless of their time zones and yet people are flaming at him for being so closed minded?

If people stay on their own timezone that would solve it, those who are up late or doing a all nighter now thats their choice.

I hate rangers cause I can’t have 1 set of gear, utilities and trait lines that work for roaming, small group, zerg and PvE like a warrior has access too.

Both my rangers have 4+ sets of gear for various things to do….. My warrior has 1 set and wins all!

I’m pretty sure a warrior wouldn’t roam very effectively with a zerging tanky build.

Mine gets away with it, knights gear, zerk trinkets, stances… 0/0/30/10/30, all I change is warbanner to signant of rage when I go from zerging to roaming.

But point still stands whether you roam on different gear or not.

Bond.4602:

seen a few of these type of posts recently, I would just say – forum magic!!!!!

No match up threads to post it all in anymore

Plain and simple from my days on Gates Of Madness:

“ARM”

We still do this on a daily basis. xD

That is just epic, always a laugh even months later after not being on the server

My vote goes to RUN naturally

But other than my own guild it’s easily SPCA, Tm and Holy from NSP.

Going against that group 1v1 or even 15-20 v 5 favoring the pug zerg it can and usually will result in a wipe on our end.

Plain and simple from my days on Gates Of Madness:

“ARM”

The enemy is a zombie apocalypse and they have armor,
Anet gives you a choice of a revolver (on hit damage) or a flamethrower (condition),
Keeping in mind the enemy has armor on,
What would you choose to fight said zombie apocalypse?

(solo to 5 man party roaming)

Rounded down figures after checking:

Age: 3900 hours
Deaths: 4700
Kills: 42,000

Other;
9 level 80’s
7,000 Achieve points
Ascended trinkets: 11
Legendary Juggernaut and Kadzu (which I sold)
100% Map complete
All crafts 400
Most gold at one time: 3,800g
Server: Isle Of Janthir

……………. Wow, think I need to go outside lol

The topic title suggested another post referring to WvW only available to play during NA prime time.

After reading it though, yes the PvD has to go, it’s silly that 40 people auto attacking a gate can melt it just as fast as a ram and defenders on wals can’t do much due to AoE caps and the AoE spam on the walls.

Things I would like to see about tower defense:
1. No more damage to gates without siege.
2. Fortification upgrade to fortify the doors too, ram masteries were brought into WvW with no counter to it.

I believe the cap for AoE damage for siege is something like 50… if someone can correct that I’d appreciate it. A handful of people with siege is a great deterrent to PvD. It’s hard to nuke down a door when you’re dead.

Yer it is, I was more referring to players skills, not much siege left to use after an ac is shooting through your door of a tower and ontop of the walls, which is not a hack I know.

Just a curious question about how roamers and players feel about being zerged by 15:1 odds then emoted on, am I wrong to assume it just means that the guild doing so is trashy and unskilled?

I personally really enjoy my roaming, but there are some servers where I say f this and stick to a blob until either I have 5+ guildies or the match up is over.

Have any other solo roamers been deterred from roaming due to this?
