Incinerator: flame trail thief?

Can anyone confirm that you can or cannot still see the flametrail as a stealthed thief with incinerator? Kind of a gamebreaker lol. Was going to make one and work on a second but after seeing a video I realised its going to hand my opponent some free kills. Is this still the case?

Is using an external program for advantage

I only see SOR players doing it. Never have I seen a JQ or BG players doing it in all the time I have played with/against them. Not sure why your assuming its about hacks. I just want to know what the deal is. The view range is clearly rediculous if this is a product of eyefinity. It is giving players using it a huge advantage. Id rather Anet screwed over those players rather than giving these select few a huge advantage over the majority of players. ’

Also please, with the “we good at siege placement”. I wasn’t born yesterday and started to WvW today. Ive been around a while you know.

They totally need to make that outmanned buff bigger. Im like will I or won’t I and waste 3 seconds deciding and then realise I have outmanned buff and charge head on into a 1v50.

Thing is, eyefinity is not an exploit, it just enables people with larger screens to see more. It isn’t that much more, just enough for those with large screens to not have a asura fatter than they are tall.

From what I am seeing from Sanctum of Rall players, it is either a huge amount more or they are using a different external program, they can literally fire over any wall and hit the other side of the wall. Are you an eyefinity user? As I don’t currently use the program I can only go by what I am seeing and it seems like a massive advantage, but without using it I cannot be sure that they are actually using this and not something else. And to point out here, yes this is only coming from SOR. I do not see Blackgate or Jade Quarry players using this.

that advantage is gamebreaking, although 3rd party software is allowed but i don’t think it is allowed to such an extent changing a redcircle to a green one

This is pretty much whats happening. Defenders cannot do anything because no place is safe to place siege. Whilst the attackers seem to all have this program so the attackers have a huge advantage. Pretty much best times in GW2 since pre-Orb removal, ya know.

SoR will reign fire on all the nations below them

Please keep in mind that SoR wasn’t doing much before IRON came to your server with almost two full guilds, leavign SoR with an EU presence that can cover a 40+ man zergs on 3 different maps at the same time. Now I am not down playing any of you guys on SoR and congrats on this weeks win and last weeks win, I think it is much deserved for you guys. Although lets not forget it is only becuase of IRON you guys are in the position you are in. Any how grats on winning.

Props to IRON. Not to try and take anything away from them, but SoR was T1 for a reason before they came over. The issue is, we probably received one of the best EU guilds in the game, as well as already having some of the best NA guilds, and I guess that coverage and how well IRON fits with SoR just screwed over the other 2 servers. Hopefully BG/JQ get some other good EU servers, and we can have full coverage all around for all 3 servers.

An answer I think Anet made for this was the upcoming patch where it may be easier to drop and gain a tier. This will stop a lot of transfers, which affect the fluctuation of how un/covered you are. People may still transfer, but I doubt quite as frequently.

Sounds like Anet is trying to destablize servers to promote server hopping and profit$. Well played Anet.

Oh wait, Santum of Rall and Blackgate going Tier 2. Have fun down there guys. See you soon. lol.

Following this kids logic… ANet admits that Kain is better than JQ with this post :

“Is Kaineng better than Jade Quarry? Before we never knew, but soon they might get a chance to prove it.”

Is using an external program to gain an advantage, against the rules? Such as Eyefinity, which allows you to shoot AC in places that otherwise cannot be seen, let alone targetted.

Im pretty sure Eyefinity is supported by anet.

Any word Anet? Can I use this program to view and fire AC in areas I otherwise cannot?

New matchup system (official info)

in WvW

Posted by: sostronk.8167

sostronk.8167

What everyone is forgetting, is that the ratings will adjust basted on the relative ratings of each opponent just like it does now.

So lets take an example here. SOR vs TC vs Mag One server from each Tier.

Projected ratings for next week are:

SOR 2214
TC 2000
Mag 1830

The ratings are so far apart that SOR would have to CRUSH I mean destroy both servers by 150k+ rating for SOR not to lose rating. This gives Mag and TC a chance to gain rating if they push hard, because they will gain and SOR drop if they put up any sizeable resistance.

Then, when that week is over, the new ratings will be used to calculate the next week (plus the random generator).

What this means, is the underdogs of each matchup have a huge handicap where rating is concerned. They don’t have to beat the higher rating server, they just have to put up a fight, and the ratings will adjust.

Which server folds after the first weekend? Which servers fight tenaciously every day despite being outmanned? Those servers who keep matches as close as possible will find themselves shooting up the ladder. The higher rating servers that grow too complacent in their 50k leads will find themselves losing rating.

All in all, I think its a GREAT idea, and WvW would be MUCH better off it was done six months ago, however, better late than never.

Now we just need a way in game, so the WvW noob/pug can see that fighting against overwhelming odds helps their server gain rating, even if they may be losing by 100k points. Like an MOS rank projector built into the WvW interface.

I don’t know how much you know about these servers, but chances are SOR would absolutely crush and destroy any server outside of Tier 1 (and maybe 2) right now. As much as I look forward to completely crushing lower tier servers, I think its really going to take some enjoyment out of it for others and I don’t see how this can be a good addition.

I believe that was just an example.

Believe, or hope?

“We can look at our leaderboard data and apply these calculations to see how this system might play out if it were active right now. If we let base variation be 40.0 and deviation variation be 1.0, then we might have gotten the following matchups this week (sorted descending by matchmaking rating):”

Note the “to see how this system might play out” key word, MIGHT.

I won’t lie, I had a pretty big laugh when I seen it. The might is in reference to the current figures, as the figures MIGHT change. Guaranteed we have a completely new matchup in Tier 1 and 2 soon. Im actually looking forward to this, even if I have to play Tier 2 occasionally.

Scholar better than Rune of the Eagle? 165 precision + 8% critical damage + 5% damage (when target is below 50%) VS 165 Power + 8% critical damage + 10% damage (when health above 90%) ?

Not sure if 165 Power or 165 Precision would be better. Im running Runes of Eagle atm, but dont really want to buy 6 pieces of armor to sandbox to see which does more damage with a full zerker build. Anyone know?

Man refreshing the topic and went back a page. Moderators are busy bees again.

Anyways you should know that wrex was doing this for the laugh and trying to get some fights. Instead of the cat and mouse games.

And he chose a really poor way to do it.

You know, I have always hated JQQ. I think they’re the biggest bunch of whiners around and i love seeing them lose but the rubbish that comes out of your guildies’ mouths are pretty cringeworthy considering you’ve just transferred and already you’re acting like you carry the server while SoR had been competent to begin with.

Winning, losing, it don’t matter. I’ve seen server come and go, from back when Henge was dominating to the rise of JQ to SoS. Look at Kaineng and where they are now. Nobody wins forever. No one lose forever. The only thing that matters is how you present yourselves. Sure, it’s all for giggles. Sure it was just trolling to get the blood pumping. That doesn’t stop you from being a prik though.

There are better ways to go about getting a fight; being a forum warrior isn’t one of them.

I’ve not seen IRON acting like they carry the server. They are a great group of people to play with and we are all having a great time crushing JQ and BG.

Less QQ on the forums, more pew pew out on the field.

SOR started winning before IRON had fully transferred. Not sure who was saying “IRON carry SOR”, but thats obviously not true. My impression of them so far is they seem like good folk. There are only a couple of guilds Ive run into who I think are full of kittens, IRON doesn’t seem to be one of them.

coz BG doesn’t belong in this tier, i rather fight a server who gives up a fight and don’t give up. I’m talking about SoR – JQ – Dragonbrand matchup can’t wait to stomp some Red Essence face

Good luck with that one.

Also, do you want us to give up or not?

Don’t really care much about the discussion, but I do wish BG was playing to win. You guys have been playing for second all week. Its looking likely even now whilst alot of JQ are taking a break that this will not happen. In other words, why not step up to SOR and attempt to take top spot? Ive seen alot of players and guilds on your server and you have some decent ones, which makes this whole playing for second all the more dissappointing. Step up and take a shot at being the number one server you have been.

Top 5 most stable servers?

Posted by: sostronk.8167

sostronk.8167

Hard to say outside that, but just going by Millenium statistics. JQ is clearly the most stable server of all time. Only spent one time out of Tier 1 in their history. Most medals of all time. Recently we had what other servers would have considered a big "implosion"and guess what, we are still here still number 2 and still competing heavily in Tier 1.

Clearly.

And this is why I lol at people mentioning only NA servers.

Is this happening due to the amount of players that are within a certain range or is it just happening randomly?

Not true. It has to do with RED BL, it did the same thing in Tier 2.

I pretty much live in SOR borderlands, so what are you saying I am imagining the lag? Also, have a think about it for a second. Why do you think its the biggest issue in a RED borderland. Because its the most populated.

Whatever you say man lol. JQ BL is not the most populated.

Show me your official figures, then Ill believe you. Until then, RED borderlands is generally the most populated and JQ borderlands currently is.

You made the claim it is the most populated, up for you to prove it. End of story.

Im not making a claim bud. Its what I believe and IDGAF what anyone else thinks, its common sense… unless you can point to figures that suggest otherwise.

See you took it personally as an attack on your guild and you so there most be some truth to it. Now i will not make a judgement call on SF and how great of zerg breakers you are after all i have only seen small squads of yours and i will not make a judgment on something that is below full strength.

The simple truth i said. JQ lack guilds willing to take on SoR in there borderland. If you think i am talking about you then YES i am talking about you.

Often enough RK is the only force in SoR and taking them on and we have a blast doing it. See the thing is that we in BG will attack every one. Yes we JQ BL we will target JQ over SoR in the same way you and SoR do in BG BL. That is how the border maps work.

I want JQ to hit SoR border harder so i can use them for my own benefit. Nothing more.

Wait, so JQ is supposed to be working for BG’s benefit? lol!

But I did spend some time at SoR bl yesterday towards the end of and after JQ prime. Every time a tower was hit, a big SoR zerg would come. It was practically impossible to capture even one, but there were still JQ players there trying or, when we were outmanned, flipping camps. But guess what BG guilds were doing? Instead of taking on SoR, [BRO] and [Pro] were trying to spawn camp JQ trying to 6v1 for kicks.

Maybe you should look into procuring these things called mirrors. They’re pretty neat.

I was just in SOR borderlands. We did a breakout with about 15-20 players. BG came along with around a 50 player zerg and defended SOR’s tower and then left. They didn’t try to take the tower. They didn’t let us finish the walls/gates which were at about 20% and then run over us to take it themselves. They just attacked us and wiped the siege and then left. SOR got there towards the end. If we didn’t have BG there defending the SOR tower, we could have flipped it and bought time for BG to try to take the bay or something for themselves. We ended up taking the tower about 5-10 minutes later. That time BG could have used SORs reaction to take something themselves. But thats pretty much how the SOR borderland has been. Everytime we have try something BG will be there and eventually SOR as well. That said, there are alot of bads in this game with not a single tactical braincell. BG are pretty much digging their own hole right now.

That is why we in Black Gate are stuck in a bad position.
Right now there are only 2 active Borderlands SoR and BG. So we will be hit by both SoR who now have the strongest EU and JQ who are hungry for scraps.

The thing JQ lacks are guilds willing to duke it out with a SoR zerg and they go for what is easy and SoR have no choice, but to go to BG.

Overall it is a small mater. If i am i am no longer sick in a few hours then i will come on and go after SoR like i always do. After all there is no fun in fighting some one who do not have more numbers.

Who exactly are you trying to kid

JQ does not avoid fights with SoR. Reset night for example SF and friends took Their home map hoping Their N/A best was there. We cheered when we found TW in hills. We knew it was on…and some great fights were to be had for the rest of the night.

What happened? While I was working on inner hills about 10 minutes after reset, Blackgate ended up ignoring everything SoR…and coming into the hole i made in hills…and attacked JQ

Then kept attacking us for the next 2 hours while doing their best to ignore or avoid fights with SoR. In fact each time i figure i’ve given Blackgate enough of a beating and i switch to attacking SoR..you guys come right back for more and hit JQ

So forgive me when i laugh at you here for even making this post. And forgive me for making a point in flipping Blackgate’s garrison 3 times so far this week and everything else i see of yours paper because of your laughable tactics on reset night

Did i hit a nerve or something. I don’t do or care about reset. It is at 2 a clock at night for me and if i am op that late i better be nekkid or drunk.

Also that was 3 days ago. Now i do not really care who i fight. Hell today i brought a entire BG zerg into JQ keep in EB to wipe SoR for no other reason that it was funny. If i had the supply i might have sieaged and tried to take the keep, but it was more fun to have a bit of a 3 way fight and wipe some SoR.

Now i will always push who ever i think can give me the best fight. Why waste time on a empty keep when i can go knock on BAY and see the SoR zerg come rushing out.

Also your attack on a BG garrison as some kind of insult to me is kind of weak. I mean why would i care and it kind of contradicts your message of “WE FIGHT SOR”.

Like i said JQ lacks guilds who are willing to try and break the SoR zerg. Hell there borderland is empty half the time and ripe for plundering so RK tend to end up there.

Now don’t get me wrong i know why this is. Taking on SoR is hard so you would rather fighting in BG. I get it taking tier 3 is hard.

You didn’t strike a nerve at all unless it’s the one that causes me to laugh at you.
Ask TW, Choo, Tsym, pick one…..SF is more then happy to fight them and have a better record then most at breaking zergs.

But to answer you….we do fight SoR…..we fight Blackgate….Right now, i am stuck having to delete you guys from the map each time i pin up because your commanders are focusing JQ above all else and at the expense of common sense.
It’s either beat you back to your spawn before going and having enjoyable fights with SoR…or end up dealing with you guys hitting JQ the moment SoR and JQ engage in a fight.

See you took it personally as an attack on your guild and you so there most be some truth to it. Now i will not make a judgement call on SF and how great of zerg breakers you are after all i have only seen small squads of yours and i will not make a judgment on something that is below full strength.

The simple truth i said. JQ lack guilds willing to take on SoR in there borderland. If you think i am talking about you then YES i am talking about you.

Often enough RK is the only force in SoR and taking them on and we have a blast doing it. See the thing is that we in BG will attack every one. Yes we JQ BL we will target JQ over SoR in the same way you and SoR do in BG BL. That is how the border maps work.

I want JQ to hit SoR border harder so i can use them for my own benefit. Nothing more.

As someone who pretty much lives in SOR borderlands I agree. However, there is a reason none of the guilds from JQ can hit SOR borderlands and its numbers. We can’t hit SOR borderlands hard and it would be a waste of time and lose us points because we cannot hold anything in your borderlands for long. It would be a huge tactical mistake for a JQ guild to hit SOR borderalands hard in the current situation. In all honesty it seems like you understand this and are just trying to bait that tactical mistake into reality.

Can’t wait for more variety in our wvw matches…. Ferguson’s Crossing and Borlis Pass… SOR is coming for you! Should be a super fun and exciting match that will definitely not result in any kind of lopsided scores… at all…. a friggin nail biter right to the very bitter end…..

Better get a bed pan folks, in case you crap yourself from all the exciting matches we are in store for that will not be decided within the first day.

“The goal is to get you more variety in match ups, while avoiding match ups against worlds way outside of your current tier so it’s not too crazy.”

No SoR/FC/FC match ups or the like.

It will still be ridiculously lopsided. The difference between even a single tier are MASSIVE. Remember the QQ from tier 8 when SF was stomping it? It will be like that for every matchup, every week….

Love how everyone here is so concerned with gear, that wont really make any impact on wvw… but aren’t discussing a game breaking change that they are implementing.

I agree with you. I’m on ET and for us, any change in match up for us will be a disaster. We just simply don’t have the man-power to compete with any server other than HoD/FC.

ANet is honestly in a kitten if you do, kitten if you don’t" situation. People ask for balanced match-ups, they work the glicko to give us them, now we ask for different, balanced match-ups, I hope they figured something out, but I think the ability for different, balanced match-ups is not possible with a tier system.

Sounds like they listened to the players complaining about not mixing up the matchups enough and not making it delegation/relegation weekly. Im sure if thats the sysytem they put in place it will cater for 1 or 2 servers, but the rest are going to hurt because of it.

Looks like CuddleStrikes, Cover Girls and all the other score reporters jobs are now over.

http://mos.millenium.org/na/

Now, with this API, scores are tracked every minutes and the site displays live matches result. The number of Camps, Towers and Keeps owned by a server are also available.

In addition, a new live map for each matchup is available. This map is updated every 15 seconds and logs each events so you can now find out what happend on your WvW battlefield. Objective names can be displayed on your own language.

That would suck. I can’t get on to MOS millenium at work because my security identifys the website as being malicious. But I can get on here. Otherwise I would be content going to MOS millenium and getting a slightly out of date score.

I’m surprised WXP boosters haven’t been added to Black Lion shop yet.

Only you can know the number of yourself guild.

I find it impolite to invite someone to a party after you have fought them. So everything from there is likely to go downhill, so best not to accept the invite.

JQ outmanned on all 4 maps. RIP JQ. Anyone want to buy me for their server? Come on SOR and BG, I know you both pay top gold for your players! I can literally guarantee a 2% increase in your PPT. Im also really really good looking.

I’ll contribute a total of 30 silver if you transfer to any server below tier 4.

Any more offers? Do I hear 35?

If you are the same guy from SoS with the bell, 40s to stay on JQ

Sold, to the man who likes bells!

Also, guys if you have one of those karka event backs, please delete them. My god. Everytime I sneak up behind you with my thief I have to turn around as Im so embarrassed by how bad you look.
