I doubt you'll get on Jade Quarry right now but that's where I am and we're doing well. If you do end up here, let me know. I'm an EU player in an NA guild. It's a busy server.

Elde, out of curiousity what guild are you in? I'm thinking of maining GW2 again and trying to find a guild for PvE/WvW.

Also, is there any advice for keeping a supply camp? Seems like when we claim one it's gone within 5 minutes.

Cord, eldelphia: I'm in the same boat, just got my ranger to 80 and started leveling a fighter. Looking to get into a good PvP/WvW guild, give me a hollar, shepardg.2971

5 people with 3 ballistas, 2 arrow carts, and upgraded guard level can keep 15 people out pretty well. Call for reinforcements from the zerg if you see more then 10 though.
10 people with 6 ballistas and 4 arrow carts can pretty much never be taken.

Our server is big on defending supply camps this way because it forces the enemy zerg to waste their time on supply camps instead of hitting something bigger.

I'm in Drunken Jade Masters. We were Drunken Jedi Masters (and I think we should be Drunken Jaded Masters!). We're not huge but it's a nice enough bunch. You can shoot me a message on eldelphia.3420

**Corrderio** · 2012-10-23 09:01

Sounds good, I'll look you up later tonight assuming you're on.

My guild held back an entire server zerg at umberwood for 24hrs, it was about 12 ballistas and a few arrow carts was a fun day. we did go on to lose against the server because they capped it all at night.

Pangloss is impossible to breech if you have 20 people. 10 on each entrance, hilarity can ensue.

**sedna** · 2012-10-23 19:07

Is anyone else experiencing abnormally frequent crashes since the update? By abnormal, I mean something like "I have NEVER crashed prior to today. Since the update I have crashed 4 times in the past 5 hours." All crashes are occurring while doing average things like clearing hearts/daily/DE's, standing around while waiting for a chain to start... All different zones too.

**Kiarax** · 2012-10-23 22:31

No crashes (1 disconnect, might have been my net or the game bugging out, not sure which). But I have a really fucking annoying bug where the chat log constantly says someone went offline and back on again, yet they didn't since I'm partying with them and see them playing the whole time. It also does it to me occasionally, but all it does is change my chat tab back to Say which is really annoying. I know Shiyo's been having it too, I assume everyone I see popping up with the offline/online shit has the same problem.

**Arcana** · 2012-10-24 02:48

Yeah i had an issue with disconnecting every 30mins on the dot, people were saying it was linked to the mobile authenticator but i dont even use that shit.

**Corrderio** · 2012-10-24 22:09

There aren't any consumable items to grant a player stealth is there?

**Kiarax** · 2012-10-24 23:26

There is, think they patched them out of WvW though since people abused them.

**Corrderio** · 2012-10-25 01:31

Damn, that's where I wanted to use them. Since the areas I'm missing in EB and one Borderland are never under my server's control, I wanted to just find a way to go invisible and sneak in.

**Imitarate** · 2012-10-25 07:05

Yeah, harpy feathers are one of the many, many PvE items they disallowed in WvW. Nothing like removing tactical options to make zerg zergier! I guess it might have been a LITTLE broken, though.

**Rhyis.** · 2012-10-25 08:42

Stealth items would make it so you can prevent supply camps from being capture infinitely.

**Kiarax** · 2012-10-25 11:10

And all it would take is a single mesmer to portal a group in to a heavily defended (ballista, etc) supply camp and they'd be fucked. It's already doable with the stealth tools they have available on the class, adding the ability to stealth permanently would make it ridiculous.

**ClarkSammich** · 2012-10-27 03:38

Wasn't sure where to post this, so I'll just throw it in here:

Details on how to test the FoV changes for widescreen monitors (16:10, 16:9)

From what I can tell it's quite nice, and it's a.net deploying it so you don't have to be concerned w/ using that shitty (and pretty dubious due to no source code) tool that one guy made.

**Kiarax** · 2012-10-27 04:09

I can zoom a mile out from my character after using the FoV change, not sure how I feel about this:

Definitely an improvement when zoomed in a bit closer though, but now I have to adjust it to the specific distance I like rather than just mashing zoom out to max distance. WHAT A PAIN.

**ClarkSammich** · 2012-10-27 05:24

are you playing on 1920x1080?

i have resolution set to 1680x1050 and it zooms further now, but nothing like that
