Guild Wars 2

Looking to restart playing gw2, especially in WvW, but my server seems dead. Where’s good now?

Making a group of 25-30 or currently 25-30 and recruiting more?

Good luck to all!

FA didn’t put in any extra hours at all, they just have better coverage

About late SEA timezone.. Is it possible if FA and SoS stop PvDoor and try to fight or something? So tiring running around maps finding your groups for fights..

/notroll

Why don’t you just get ahead of the PvD train?
We did that against JQ during leagues and they lost their freaking minds when our zerg busted out of inner hills right into their downlevelled karma train.

Of course you aren’t likely to see downlevels from either us or FA; but the concept is the same.

It’s a bit difficult when they randomly waypoint across 3 BLs and cap stuff. Vale camp to NW camp then somehow NE tower without taking NE camp then suddenly water camp. We literally spent 2-3 hours chasing their 30 with our 10.. Geez.

Sounds similar to TC on occasion. Its almost as if people are trying to be unexpected and not leave a super obvious trail across the map…hmmmm. let me get back to you on that!

Yeah well, your NA counterparts could use some advice from Chris then.

I’m almost certain that using ACs to hit stuff behind a gate isnt cheating, but they HAVE been known to use any less than respectable trick they can whenever possible. AKA invuln spot siege, camping in invuln spots off the cliffs. I dont usually actually dislike any enemy in this game, but some of FA have shown themselves to be both poor losers AND winners.

aaaand because we have a couple of stupid forum trolls, u put the whole server in one little box? ok yeah there are trolls that shoulder pad or whine in the forums…BUT tell me 1 server that doesnt have a forum troll like this!

yes im sure there is a few people on our server that use the arrow cart thing, but every server i have faced has a few people that do that. i have chased people to invul spots from both of your servers. my ac’s have been taken down with acs and dragontooth where it shouldn’t have been reached by both of your servers. so yeah u have the exact same trolls as we have and the exact same foul tactics users as we have.

so hating a server, because of forums trolls and a few unpleasant experiences in game, even though both of your servers do the exact same thing,is stupid!

i have met amazing fighters and great guilds from both of your servers and i had a ton of fun fighting both of u. i dont care if there is a few black sheep that troll a and use some foul tactics as i know that both of u fight hard and are great servers. our server is not very different from yours. we have people that love to roam, we have zerglings, we have coordinated guilds, we have fairweathers, we have trolls, we have people that scout, we have people that rp, and we have hillarious people same as u. and yes also people that get frustrated, jealous, angry,stupid, arrogant and drunk!

so please less drama, more fighting!

It’s week 7 and we’re against SoS/Mags. The fairweathers are out in full force to complete their WvW achievements after sitting out the past 5 weeks due to T1 presence

WvW population is dynamic and cannot be monitored/controlled. QQ is pointless. There’s no reason why fewer people should be able to wipe a bigger group if both sides are equally skilled, unless you’re defending from walls and behind gates.

Wow the direction this thread went… well just to correct the posts you non-crafters are making about crafting…

3. Using a crafting booster does not give you more crafting exp from doing 0-400, it just reduces the materials required to get there.

Thanks for pointing this out. Way too few people know about this and still think crafting boosters actually boost total EXP received…

Karma trained all day yesterday. That’s enough for the rest of the month. Sure, the loot was great; made a bunch of ranks, and gold, but I miss the fights. So lets have a go, shall we? Who’s with me?

You’ll get your fights in Mockingjay, Ms. Everdeen.

A harvester mini that will harvest/mine/pick anything within 1000 of your radius at the same speed a normal player would. Also has to have his picks/axe refilled manually :>

A party of 5 sniping individuals down 1 by 1 in a zerg-vs-zerg :> super fun.

^.^ tc is a small server

I give up.

Everything is relative! We’re small compared to a very select few servers

Cheers for the reset fights on SoSbl. Very disciplined play and movement from both other servers.

TC really gunning for replacing SoR huh? Recruit til queues at all timezones.

I really don’t know how you got that from my post…

If you take a quick look at the Recruitment subforum it’s pretty obvious how “hard” we’re recruiting. (We have 1 guild thread in the first 5 pages. Like 80% of the front page is T1 servers and FA.)

Since the leagues started we lost several major guilds, including two that covered our weakest timezones, and one of them to your server. Our last real influx of guilds was around April (?) or so when the CD guilds moved over, and that just brought our previously near non-existent SEA to “maybe hold 2 keeps against T1” levels.

But sure, we’re recruiting too much

so outside of leagues you are still walking over t2’s and recruiting

unless you plan to take over sor’s t1 spot any recruiting at all is silly

TC dying server

Take a 24-hour stroll around WvW and you’ll find that we’ve only lost guilds and the guild tags you find here are the same that have been here since before Leagues started.

Why does Maguuma get the fancy name while we get abbreviations?

Roaming on SoRBL with my new found friends.

MERC thief who accidentally stabbed me once
LOVE thief who badly wants to be in [LOVE] but couldn’t and ended up forming his own 1-man guild

That JQ karma train that went around capping TC and SoR’s outer towers on EB last night (EU prime). Must have rinsed and repeated like 10 times and capped 40 towers and 40 camps.

Even that 2v1 on OW when we had like 20 people defending ended in such utter failure. Kudos to the JQ commander who knew when to run away. Poor SoR karma backcapping train got wiped in lords. Thanks to Kilbor [GF] who tagged up and never gave up while outmanned

“2v1” is the phrase of the week. Keep up the good fights!

Your main role in a zerg as a Staff Ele is CC and providing Fire/Water fields. Secondary role is AoE DPS.

- Since your condition stacking ability is crap -> Condition no-no.

- Your only decent heal = Water 3 = Crap radius and mostly uses for blasting. PLUS your healing power-affected healing only heals 5 people who stands in it per tick. It is negligible compared to 10 people blasting it. -> Healing no-no.

So your objective is to survive as long as possible, to cast as many water fields/static fields/ice fields as possible, and your secondary purpose is DPS.

If you’re bad, go full PVT = Maximum survivability to fulfil your primary role.

If you’re good and can stay alive amongst the blobs, go Zerker to fulfil your secondary role.

IMHO, going Celestial puts you somewhere in the middle of the scale between survivability and DPS. Because so much more damage can be dealt by you via Skill-1-spam, Fire 2, Fire 5, Earth 2, Earth 5, Water 2. And if you rotate properly you get almost full Fury uptime, which really affects your output DPS.

Personally I recommend the usual staff ele support build, but with zerker armor and trinkets. Going full damage traits just doesn’t seem to work for WvW. For myself, I carry find Celestial to work when I want to quick-switch to D/D because you experience the healing power effect when you’re healing yourself or in small scale fights.

EDIT: Unless you’re going to run around spamming water 1 for the entire fight, you’ll find that your healing power will be lost when you’re out of water attunement (Well, most of the time).

Whelp. Outmanned in EB and no queue on 3 maps. Right in the middle of NA prime. wut.

Just a few minutes before that, CHOO was on and they just log off so there was no commander for like 2 hours

But still there are some great fight last night, especially when TC Zerg bring 10+ omega to our keep o,o

I know that feel. Cheap tactic from an obviously overstacked server. I heard they bought guilds and credit card omegas too.

Lol what the hell is happening on EBG..

Nice fight at TC garrison JQ and SoS.

Borefest – Round 3

I think you guys need to recruit more.

I think AWE needs to stop beating me into a pulp 5 v 1(sometimes 2) . Not fair mate. Not fair at all.

Wait, 5 Awe?! HOW DID YOU MANAGE THAT?! We hardly get 3 into WvW nowadays, let alone 5 on the same map..

I’ve spent the week reading the BG/SoR/SoS matchup and I must say, it is kinda entertaining when you have nobody to attack or defend in a bunch of QQ posts

Good luck JQ! Go JQ!

zen.6091:

TC is a good community, but I do have to agree their roaming etiquette, if we are going to pretend their is such a thing, sucks. In these sorts of lopsided matches the players on the losing servers really only have three options: Blob in the one blob we can muster, roam, or don’t play.

Sorry if TC players are bored with the matchup or queue stuck on the one map they could get into with no action, but you’ve known for a long time that TC is in a weird spot of being roughly double any lower ranked server and about 2/3 of a T1 server. Yet, it still seems you have guilds transferring in for god knows what reason…

It would be great for one of the T1 servers to conveniently blow up again. Two months of this will not be much fun.

Yeah, think about what advertising power we have. We cannot guarantee a win in the Gold League, we don’t have bundles of gold to give out to people. We’re just like any ranked 4-6 servers. Why would they want to come to our server?

Pro roamers should make video montages of stomping 1v1s, partying enemies and chasing 1v1s. Makes their chest thumping legit!

Or an alternative is to enter a random PvP room and get a 1v1 with people who like 1v1s! May save you the hours of agony of roaming alone and finding nobody!

T3 garri omnomnom.

You sure you talked that through with mags? Usually they get first dips on our garri when no one`s home. I hope that`s not gonna get you in trouble…

But there were people home, enough to man a lot of that siege we destroyed.

@aceai.4895

Anytime! <3

We only had like 2 ac in lords room, and 5+ golems to take paper hills lol ?

When did i say hills ?

Took hills before garry

Where did i say anything about taking hills though.

You didn’t, was just asking. Guess you were not part of the zerg that took hills

LOOK! We’re really sorry that we have such a mega uber zerg during our worst timezone, we have a lot of PvE-rs in this timezone okay?!?!?!((((((

Thanks to Mag and SoS on EBG for the fights! You guys had us running to and fro and to and fro for so many hours

rodadams.5963:

I just ask that some consideration be given to not lighting the map in LA up like a christmas tree with 500 different ornaments floating around. It’s bad enough seeing all the blue diamonds there, covering up all the other symbols.

Also, if we can have a gem store item to upgrade our commander tag to customizable scrolling marquees that would be awesome!!!

EDIT: Sorry.. Did not read properly the first time and thought you were asking FOR something to light up LA :|

Buy a 3DS and start playing Pokemon X/Y.

Average completion time is around 35 hours so that’s around 5 full weeks (1 hour per day , 7 days per week) of your queue time well spent

Dear Dragonbrand [WAR],

Would be really cool if you kept your necro’s from using Line of Sight tricks/hacks I watched 2 or 3 of your necro’s about 5 minutes ago outside North hills in TCBL throwing marks about 600 range inside the keep from outside the walls not only were you not killing anyone with them, it made you guys look all the more silly when you had to turn and run

With Regards,

A TC Necro who doesn’t need tricks to wreck your necros

Dear TC necro…. wear a bigger tin foil hat.

How does it count as a tin foil hat when I WATCH your necro’s cast marks that don’t get hit 600 range inside a keep? that’s not tin foil hat, though you simply saying that makes me just assume you’re trying to cover up lol. I’d have added photo’s…but sadly they disappeared to fast since your group ran away from the keep faster than an anorexic from a Baskin Robbins.

Troll harder.

it’s not trolling at all…i watched you guys do it. I mean…you can deny all you want…but you end up looking like US politicians trying to claim they know nothing about wanting a government shut down

Give it up. He won’t even admit it, much less do anything about it.

@ TC tonight during 5-8 pm pst. Good fights but then you guys grab all orbs… Was it not more fun with orbs spread out?

We were saying the same on Mumble. The buffs weren’t needed. The ruins are fun, but the buffs tend to favor the wrong team.

Yep. Please try to relay as much as possible to your pugs not to grab all 3 orbs. Really takes the fun out of trying to play.

And here i could swear i saw Pinkies holding them and not pugs.
Must had seen wrong.

Same as earlier in the day. When in one of those down-times our usual suspects tried to start the karma train since tc was by behaviour indicating they wanted one. Ours were a little bit slow on the start and after ql and langor went to bravost while tc was still busy at langor. Of course one guild had to go and detach from langor to kill the group at bravost. That stopped that.
Alright with me, as far as tc does not moan about it. Like with jq, there is always that one guild that wants the lock-down apparently.

:(

Sos is formidable, they’re like our polar opposite. It would be nice if your sea fought our na, and your na fought our sea. Hehe

SoS doesn’t have any major SEA guilds. We have a few smallish guilds that’s it… and by small I mean ~10 people lol.

TC on the other hand has Awe and INVC and some others.

Happy to hear you think we’re formidable though

Thanks for the pointing out, though I have to point out that the Awe you see run with the commander as militia now.

BG/SoR/JQ should just be given their own league. Nobody else has coverage and queues map(s) 24 hours of the day :<

TC should stop whining in every thread about leagues and take their upcoming beatings. Like I point out, when TC stacked themselves far beyond any competition outside of T1, you had the same complaints lobbed against you that were dismissed out of hand.

Now its too late for your precious community…. there will be many slayings of roleplayers and dolyaks in your future. Get used to it because it seems almost every week you will be facing a t1 server.

So the purpose of each T1 server stacking itself is..? To kitten lower tier servers or to have competitive matches when matched against each other? I don’t get your point, though it seems like you don’t really have one.

To the TC in EB…would you be interested in hitting BG? The constant pressure on us is getting tiring and we cannot go to the dolyak parade if we are tired.

Fear not! The parade is tomorrow. Get a lot of rest and be ready for some marching.

Can we have a second parade at 8 pm SEA time? Los Angeles 8 am (exact 12 hour opposite)

8pm SEA time is server time 5am, Sir.

Thats new york right? EIther way? can we have a TC SEA dolyak parade. I dont think next week we will be matched again

A SEA timezone TC RP DolyYAK Party …. Just imagine, 70 JQ Dolyaks , 80 BG dolyaks and 50 TC Dolyaks all in one big picture before the league.

NoOoOoo! California is server time! NY is -12hours SEA time

And for someone who points out about others speaking sense, you seem to lack it. How does, stacking one tier equate to more Pvdoor? Won’t there be too many people to defend? Sure, there is pvdoor to some extent, but it is far less than in any other tier because of the round the clock coverage of tier 1.

Leagues being introduced = less frequency of one T1 server meeting another T1 server = more PvDoor.. = more fun as intended by the WvW dev team?

Also, if you’re talking about PvD… Currently, the servers with off-hour players are fighting with the servers with off-hour players. Transferring to another, lower server, in most (all) cases, is going to REDUCE their chance of finding opponents.

CURRENTLY, CURRENTLY. YES.

In two weeks, NO.

It’s like I’m talking to brick walls.

I should say the same.

Time will not change that off-peak players are concentrated in T1 servers. Transferring anywhere else will only exacerbate the “PvD problem”. This can’t be too difficult to grasp.

Wow ok so final attempt.

NOW: Tier concept still relevant, matchups are by rating, T1 servers are highly likely to match with each other. Off-peak players concentrated in T1 servers, where they fight each other.

LEAGUES: No tiers, matchups within a 12-server league. T1 servers will on average spend 4 to 5 weeks out of 7 every season against nonT1 servers, off-peak players PvD almost all the time.

Time will obviously not change the fact that off-peak players are concentrated in T1, but it WILL change how often T1 servers match against each other, which is DIRECTLY linked to the “PvD problem”. The off-peak players (or players in general, really) can either cry about this and do nothing and then PvD every single time they don’t meet another T1 server (which will be the majority), or they can start to spread as evenly as possible within the league to minimize the PvD weeks.

The problem is that people complain about wanting fights, and then when facing 2 servers (1 evenly matched and 1 who resemble doors), they will always aim for the doors first.

But then again it makes 0 sense to CC/pay and transfer to a server where you will get steamrolled for 4-5 weeks out of 7, and that’s why they would rather transfer, self-funded or not, to a server where they CAN steamroll people/doors instead.

The problem with having more leagues and less servers per league is that….

The non-top 3 servers in each league will take turns farming the lower tier servers way more often. At least with 8 or 12 per per league there is a bigger chance that the rank 1, 2 and 3 won’t be grouped together.

This is of course only workable if enough is done to ensure that only 1 of the top 3 servers in each league gets assigned to each match-up. (i.e. they never ever fight each other). If 2 of the top servers end up together, it will end up like the current BG/JQ/TC matchup.

As it seems now, TC is the one who determines who wins the matchup We’re so cool!!!!

Sacrx is right. Some servers give a crap about PPT and seige defense etc…

The rest of us just want giant open world death match.

Lolrly. Then why would a 20+30 SoR group hold a keep with 10 red circles surrounding the nearest gate? So when you’re playing siege defense you’re “farming loot bags” and when you map blob open field fights it’s because you “love fights”… Please go back to JQ and BG :<
