From my Experience with Maguuma So Called Roamer’s is when its 1vs1 they start running for the hills or just run into they find guildies they turn on you right away once they out number you.

Nice screen. Did you learn tower hugging from JQ or is it just an innate skill in T1?

I don’t know you tell me should i initiate that 1vs10? I actually got chased from your tower side to this side by all 10 of these maguuma’s, If it was 1vs1 2vs1 i would gladly fight it. This is pretty much all i have ran into all week while roaming, Guilds running zerg like tactic’s

That’s true but I noticed exactly the same types of groups from BG in ruins, that’s probably the real reason they’re out there. It doesn’t seem a very solo-friendly place at this tier but I’ve found plenty of good fights and duels in the last few days roaming mainly between the camps. Mostly BG but also some SoR. I have to say this match is much better roaming than last week where literally every JQ would run from a 1v1 unless there were 2 or 3 more just out of sight… but maybe just anecdotes.

I think the real reason you haven’t found many Mag roamers is because there are so much more of you, while in NA primetime where mag shows up in force, it’s not to roam.

yeah jq is by far the worst server, not a single person will fight unless they outnumber you.

after fighting jq numerous times in the past, i was worried all T1 servers were going to be like that.

I don’t really consider oPP a roaming guild. There are some good players in it, but most of the guild just sits on the island with as many people as they can and adds on fights.

Not really my battle as I’m not in oPP, but this seemed relevant.

i love how you assume they’re there to build siege

Where exactly did he say that?

Edit: If any of you want to stop zerging, theres a bunch of us at windmill.

You have at least 3 guys on siege in the tower alone.

Oh, sorry, I forgot all of you were berserker. Siege is actually scary to you guys. What a bizarre world you live in.

Sorry, what gear set makes superior ballista, superior arrow cart, and cannon fire count as 0dps/0people?

3v3

That’s a neat picture. I have one for you as well!

#MaguumaDoesntZerg

lets see.. there is 7 aon, and 6 green dots on the map. unfortunately, 5 of them are hiding around or behind the tower manning siege.

fighting 6v7 is easily winnable if you’re not bad.

edit: sorry , theres 4 aon, one is a mesmer with a duelist out and 2 clones. rofl so you infact outnumbered mag, but still won’t go out of siege range to fight them. what a joke

JaredKincade.9761:

Just so everyone is clear. Blackgate warchest has struck again. We’ve paid the Maguuma commanders a total of 20k gold to double team SOR all week long.

They weren’t going to fight before we paid them, because we all know that the lowly tier 2 servers actually don’t like winning, and trying for 2nd place without “motivation” is beyond them.

That is all.

as a prominent commander for mag, i expect to see 500g in my mailbox for taking the week off, and only attacking sor. thx

Handin.4032:

The fact someone put the time to make that video and then post it to get attention shows more hate than anything. Every commander gets like that, especially against people who act like this

You ask if people really think of Maguuma like that? The answer is yes. Emphatically yes. Just about everyone I’ve talked to from other servers agree. The sad part is, I’m sure most of maguuma isn’t really that bad. However, you have several people who just utterly ruin your servers reputation by doing stuff LIKE THIS. If you don’t want people to hate on your servers, talk to the few people who make your server look so bad.

And yes, TC likes ppt It got us out of T4, out of T3, and almost into T2! We come to play WvW, not spvp. If we just wanted small groups doing death matches, we’d all play spvp

wow you’ve completely missed the point. you obviously have no idea what magu is

JonathanSharp.7094:

@ Moba: This plays into another idea you guys seem to be hitting on, which is a moba style game. We think the layout/flow of a moba style map could be really fun, especially when combined with something like killing enemy captains or guild lords. We’re also looking at testing something like that!

@ Not having RPG elements in our game when compared to most MOBAS: Keep this in mind. It’s what gives the mobas their flow/pace. We need to build mechanics that change the pacing/feel of the map in a similar way, without hampering the fun players have. I think you get the same thing out of an RTS, but in a different way. Both sides start off with few resources and weak units. Over time they build up in both areas, and the middle/late game are very different than the early game.

I’ll keep looking for other things to respond to in this thread. Thanks for all the feedback/ideas guys.

you already have a leveling system in place. you can start out everyone on the moba map at level 1, and allow leveling up via creep/player kills. gain some sort of temporary currency to buy perhaps stat bonuses, or sigil/rune effects, or new skills entirely. you can have the equivalent of towers be level 20/40/60/80 NPC’s, which means you can’t ‘tower dive’ at level 1, i can go on and on.

point is, theres alot of mechanics already in gw2 that would lend itself well to some sort of moba game mode.

You mag sure like to generalize.
PiNK running with blobs of 40? I’m not even sure I’ve seen pink run that large in months.
NOPE calling for backup defending a supply camp? Yeah pretty sure most guilds on our server do it…. and you do it too.

(also 40 = blob LOL)

#getgudmag

As mag guilds generally run tagless, we include any pugs in number counts when the other groups are running tags. If you have 15 guildies, but 25 pugs, you’re a 40 man group.

They might be a 40 man group, but you cant call 15 PiNK and 25 pugs a PiNK blob, because its not.
and I’m fairly sure 40 isnt a blob either.

Handin.4032:

I don’t understand why people just want “open field even number fights in a controlled ready-set-go” fashion anyways. Idk…to me that’s just boring. I prefer to be outnumbered slightly in one way or another…or hit with a surprise attack. These things actually hold my attention. It’s why during reset I LOVED fighting my old guild mates, kh. They didn’t outnumber us, but they’d do surprise attacks, or you know…use TACTICS. Not: "Stand _ paces apart and face each other, then on “GO” slam into each other".

It’s all personal preference….and honestly all the guild bashing for people that don’t want to do GvGs (or those that do) is frankly getting old and pathetic. If you want to prove yourself as a WvW guild, do it doing WvW. If you want to do GvG, do it. But PLEASE acknowledge that not everyone wants to deal with it, or even finds it fun. GvG != WvW!! Stop putting it out to be. If a guild says they don’t wanna GvG, then don’t bug them, call them out, say they suck, etc. It’s definitely NOT going to want to make them GvG you anymore. This goes to all servers, and all guilds. If you keep asking people to GvG you, and no one wants to, there is probably one main reason: You’ve annoyed people and “they don’t wanna play with you”.

It is a bit playground-ish, but seeing this type of behavior constantly…well, it fits. This is a game. If people don’t want to play doing what you want, well…too bad for you. But just because you wanna play with people on the slide and everyone else is on the swings doesn’t mean guilds have to stomp their feet and call people out as “zergy”, “nooby”, “sucky”, etc…

This will be my last post on this matter as its just annoyed me to beyond caring anymore. I see the merits in GvG, and see why some find them fun, but I personally do NOT. Any further posts will likely be about the upcoming parade(s) (MAYBE AN SEA PARADE FOR Y’ALL!)

the reason why people are pestering pvx and/or blob guilds for gvg is because they are the ones most likely to chest thump after wiping an enemy group of 20 with 60 people.

gvg’s let such guilds see how terribly they will perform in an even numbered fight.

Tricare.2946:

Was stuck in queue reset night, so I decided to roam JQBL. Any of these HzH guys I kill that robotchicken dude?

Who want GVG this week??
we are “FB”[Fighting Blood] from JQ!!
out prime time is GMT+8
if you are interested about GVG
main me in tyria

this is unfortunate, as there is 0 guilds on mag in this time zone.

ParaldaWind.4523:

Remember the time [PYRO] fought in TC’s garrison for over 45 minutes without wiping? I got about 100 dragonite from that, so, thanks, TC and JQ!

im so jealous, should have just abandoned wk tbh =[

anyone know if this nerf is for ALL champ bags or just ones in frostgorge?

kartek.6428:

There are several classes in the game
JQ has a class of it’s own.
Perplexity.

They say some builds have low skill cap.
JQ doesn’t even have skill.
Perplexity.

Anet have talked about Renaming JQ.
PJQLSC Perplexity Jade Quarry Low Skill Cap.
Perplexity.

Like come on JQ have some class.
Perplexity won’t carry your server forever.

SmoothHussler.6387:

Excuse me? We’ve said it 1000 times already. Mag does NOT WANT anymore NA. Any recruitment threads are asking for oceanics because we have by far the lowest amount in the top 6.

You have queue blobs 24/7 and still beg and PAY for guilds to go over to you. Pathetic. Anyone from TC above has no reason to recruit at all nevermind to actually pay people to transfer.

Any thread where someone is moving is immediately bombarded with ppl from jq, sor and bg. The 3 servers who least need ppl are always the first ones in.

Don’t try to compare Mag to any of them. If you fought against the opponents we do with the numbers we do all you princessses would have quit the game long ago.

And for the big mouth quoting some tye thread, you’re welcome to find 1 person who has payed for someone or some group to transfer over to Mag.

Not to mention that PYRO has been offered something like 100g a head to move to one of your t1 bretheren. ITS PATHETIC.

But….

Logged of from boredom on Mag BL after both opposing servers ran from 30 or less of us mixed group for two hours…

you were probably outnumbered 3 to 1 as well…

Actually we have discovered you usually run from equal or less numbers. We enjoy taking on larger numbers.

gvg?

Ghoulina.2976:

Maguma! Looking forward to some open field with AoN this week, as for D/e/r/p (sorry, it kept putting that word as kitten) and Ark, please stop running from us, you were out numbering us 3 to 1 on JQBL.

lots of butt clenching in some of those rounds, any agg pov videos available?

Victory.2879:

I still fail to see what possible enjoyment there is in double (or more) teaming against people who would rather be anywhere else then in a stupid JP in the first place- at least have the balls to go solo, not have someone to hold your hand. Is your real life really that sad?

let me help you out, threads like these are exactly the reason why people camp jp’s.

as long as people cry and get mad, there will always be jp campers.

you dont need eyes were we’re going

when ive tried to solo roam, this is the literally the only thing that happens,

see a lone guy, he runs when i approach, until 3 more come and the guy turns on me, then proceeds to chase me across the entire map for about 10 minutes.

gg warrior op

only furries play chars

in terms of hp per second, healing sig and healing surge has the same scaling with healing power.

in its current state, only garbage players use dolyak runes.

Nickthemoonwolf.1485:

I had fun fighting AoN tonight in water camp in SoS bl. Even if the commander wanted to abandon the camp (and did, never came back to try and save it after he left). Either way it was clear the goal was to get fights and not to cap the camp, and we had some fun figuring out how to fight the group.

That rifle/greatsword warrior hurt like a mother kitten.

the key is to use your eyes and press the correct buttons when you see him do something.

this is not unexpected. yaks bend has one of the lowest average skills levels of players on any NA server.

IBountyHunterI.4601:

deathTouch.9706:

Holy kitten what a zergfest last night. If anything has ever convinced me not to ever transfer to T1 it was the lag in the those fights. How can anyone enjoy that kitten? It’s like stonemist except everywhere, it feels like I’m moving through mud and skills fail to go off. And its not even in the zergs, but happens everywhere from the sheer amount of load the server has. Woo it’s like being CC’d for an entire roaming session!

The score was so tight last night because coverage was equal for all servers. Every BL was queued on Mag until about 12AM CST. That’s unheard of for Mag. Albeit most of them were probably PvErs doing achievements, but still they make a good distraction. We still have absolutely no oceanic (i’ve heard rumors on the Mag forum that one may have been spotted a few nights ago on Mag, we need screenshot to confirm though) so that sorta explains why TC pulled ahead in SEA time. I’m quite a bit surprised we’re ahead of SoS though, as I thought they had a massive oceanic crew.

It was like this last night in our matchup too, to the point when we would encounter RET’s Omni blob of the entire map Q that we wouldn’t even be able to cleave. We would spike them down, recover…then die because no one can heal. At one point we had to use guardian dodge rolls to heal all of us by rolling into the walls.

Some of us had to kill our selves to get the skills working again.

Also on another note, wish I was here in this matchup.

make all warriors, healing sig op

why is mos broken

Fafnir.5124:

If only we stayed in silver we could have gotten an easy win. I don’t know why we pushed to be in gold league looks like rewards between the leagues are the same. We have very few oceanics players so I honestly have no idea how we are going to handle the gold league at all.

time to transfer

this is all just a conspiracy to absorb the bandwagons on SBI into T1 servers for gold.

yes its fixed, you will only immobilize 1 person every 5 seconds no matter what skill you use.

many people use sword solely for the mobility

the fix is to put the ICD back, but have it applied per skill, such that using hammer 3 would immobilize 5 targets hit, then immediately switching to GS4 would not immobilize until the ICD is up.

this way it’s not completely useless, like having bladetrail hit 10 times but only immobilizing 1 person.

and not completely broken being able to sword autoattack to death.

the other obvious solution is to change sword autoattack to not have cripple, but i feel being able to hammer 3 then GS4 right away for massive immobilize is still kinda op.

im pretty sure 90% of sbi wants to be in silver league, afterall, half of their current players bandwagoned in hopes of ranking top silver for temporary finishers in league

nytehex.3267:

all the videos and such are just jim dandy, however, you all make a large assumption that everyone is in a large guild, skill and geared to the teeth on every toon, and are Godlike. I’m not. I’ve seen many people that aren’t on Maguuma. If there isn’t a karma train, most people I have seen in WvW aren’t all that skilled. Enjoy Gold if we get there. I won’t be out there getting my kitten kicked by the sheer volumes of bodies that tier one can bring. Maguuma cannot even consistently QUEUE all 4 maps, yet you all want to fight servers that have hours on hours of waiting just to get in. Have fun getting annihilated. Bye Bye.

a sure fire way to purge the bads out of maguma? sounds like a good plan to me.

theres not much point in this because the best duelists out there are the best not because of op builds (for the most part) , but because they are good at playing their class.

what you’ll have is 1 really good player clean sweeping the other guild.

treb bots are dime a dozen

blueprints has never been the bottleneck of siege in wvw ever.

supply is.

even if anet mailed 100 golems to everyone that has ever played wvw, you wont see a significant increase in golem use, atleast not a significant increase in successful golem use.

Npac.3476:

Just wanted to say good GVG to Ark and DDLG.

Ark, next time you’re “gvging”, (excuse me, spending 15 minutes to set up an aoe fest) try to stomp the downed staters…we helped ya out there couple times.

To the [DR] guild that ran to “stop” the evil imposters, the video of the 7 of us (and two AoN guys I think) absolutely rolling you like Alabama Football is coming soon.

they’ll either get bannered or they act as bait to get more downed. not much point in stomping unless they’re downed off to the side somewhere.

SBI deserves full value for the win. They played for the ppt and the results show. Not sure what the issue is here, why try to troll a server playing the game how it was designed?

SBI mainly has points because FA is a shell that can’t defend anything even in NA prime.

Does FA not even log on unless RET is doing a 40-60 man?

That was pretty much the point I was trying to make in my above post. I roamed a lot in Mag and SBI BL this week. SBI was responsive to attacks from FA with fairly accurate numbers. 5 guys attacking a keep? Send 10 guys, problem solved. Mag on the other hand, 5 guys attacking a keep? Waypoint in 40 guys, while SBI ransacks FA BL and steals all the points.

When you send 40 guys to stop a havoc from poking at your towers and keeps, your being trolled. Camping FA border with 20+ to stop 5 guys who you think are trying to get out? Do you really think they are trying to get out or do you think they are bag trading with your to keep you militia tied up from doing more productive things?

Like I said, I applaud the valiant defensive effort but the strategy is flawed and it makes you look like a wannabe TC Jr.

Yeah Mag basically has Mag BL queued at all hours. It’s the only way we can defend against skill groups like TE/Abys.

The accusation was less aimed at your blobbing and more at your poor manpower management. The more time you spend mobbing your own BL, the less time you are spending actually being productive and increasing your score. There were times when you literally had 20+ guild groups roaming in the south with no objectives lost for 30 minutes to an hour.

i didnt know there was 20+ guilds on maguma
