GW2: Random Complaint Thread: Complaining about Complaints since day 1

[bluefan]

I swear to God there's a few players on JQ that have to be exploiting something. Some of them cover distances mind boggling fast. And I'm starting to see a ton more teleport type things...professions like engineer should not be able to instantly flash 2000+ range in an instant.

[niwaar]

Yeah. I don't think I'll even try against Jade Quarry.

They've got strategies down pretty good. And it looks like their players know what they're doing.

I mean, fuck, I don't think I'm terrible, but it took 5 of us for a good minute to take down one of their necros.

The fight is between DB and CD atm, but honestly, most people understood this when we saw our matchup for the week. CD could come back like we did last week after Blackgate and Gate of Madness owned us for the first 3 days, but only time will tell. JQ has a just as active of an offpeak playerbase as CD does so I doubt it. The extremely organized top 5 servers will always pretty much roll the "average" non zerg servers.

Either way, its not really about "winning" as much as it is about having fun and feeling productive while inside WvW, which I felt completely yesterday when we were competing.

[bluefan]

I know it's about having fun.

But I'm seeing things that should not be possible from JQ. Like I said, I've seen a number of JQ players now seemingly just warp away no problem.

[Alderaan]

There are a ton of warp/pos hackers in WvW but i haven't seen them in this match-up against JQ yet.

I can already tell these players are not only better skill wise but also gear themselves properly. No more 4k cluster bombs ; ;

Not sure what we did to get ranked 6th overall, seeing as we're a medium pop server with lots of PVE'ers, but we're paying for it now!

[NotGreyheim]

We have a pretty decent guild alliance going from what I can tell. My guild can consistently bring in around 15 coordinated and competent PvPers (a lot more effective than you'd think with that number) every night, and we've been working with you guys and ATac. Probably more guilds involved, but I only ever hear about those 2, presumably because you guys are the biggest/most coordinated guilds on the server for PVP.

[Cjskater]

Burst down their death shroud ASAP, it doesn't have much health. Once you do that they are a free kill for 8 seconds, the most they can do is teleport away once but even then its still in range of a shortbow ranger or thief. The reason a necro is so hard to kill is because of shroud management, they regen it (through staff and DS #4 mainly) fast enough to get like half their shroud in 8 seconds so if you dont burst them out of shroud they'll always have a lot of that extra hp. Also if you hear that siphoning noise while they are in DS just knock them back or down or pull them in or something, it has a 40 second cooldown.

As a necro I honestly feel it's like the Zangief of this game. Strong at the start because of high hp but mid tier towards the end when people know how to deal with it. Disregarding the bugs anyway, its going to get stronger before this really comes into play.

Edit: Something I have legit noticed that made this matchup way harder than previous, they focus downed players and rezzing players. I go to rez and instantly go from full to half health, and I've got 2100 toughness/25k hp when rezzing. I've been doing that this entire time but I know the pugs rarely do it, all of JQ seems to.

[bluefan]

Yeah, I started telling people that I wasn't going to rez anyone who were in range of a literal AoE shit storm in front of JQ. You just get focused way too much.

I just throw down my War Banner when there's multiple people in downed state and back the hell off now.

[Kirbyprime]

Eh, I'm on JQ and although I haven't seen any exploits, the "mob" that seems to show up is probably because we don't see enough fights so the second something shows up half the server goes over to it.

[Arcana]

My complaint, i made a valkyrie weapon from a berserker enchant, nice job.

...and yet hardly anyone on JQ Borderlands could be bothered to defend supply camps last night. Also, I'd like to know how CD managed to take our fully upgraded garrison after we'd been stomping them all night. I think I spent 5-6g that night just on WvW upgrades and none of them lasted until morning.

Probably the worst thing I saw, though, was a commander taking the supply from our keep to build a siege golem that he then walked directly out of the keep and into the first group of 20+ DB invaders he could find (while we weren't even sieging anything). They need to fix the goddamn requirement for commander, because that's just sad. There should definitely be some cost to make commander somewhat exclusive, but making it solely based on a large sum of gold is just silly when there are plenty of people out there who have the means to get that gold without having any real understanding of WvW strategy (or even basic shit like don't take a golem into an infantry fight).

Sounds like an improvement to me.

[Arcana]

Sounds like an improvement to me.

Not when your trying to sell the thing, price is higher for berserker gear for a reason.

[Kiarax]

Well damn, that does suck then.

Dragonbrand has the exact same problem, we have like 5 fullretard Commanders. 1 of them farms karma and will let fully upgraded towers/keeps go just so he can get them back after for the karma (and he just flips supply camps all day). Another was escorting dolyaks while the other in the same borderlands was attacking CD all night when we could've been doing something useful like attacking JQ.

This has been said by everyone from large guilds to the PvEers. Anet thinks that 100g is enough to counter most people from picking it up, but there will always be the baddies that get it. Especially after about 3-6 months. There will be a load of commanders. I really wish they had gone with some sort of ladder system to give the Commander tags. Even if it was gold + 1000 honor tokens it would be better.

[Rhyis.]

Tokens would've been a much better way of going about it. 1000 token is like 4-5k kills. That's a decent amount of experience.

[Syntex]

Fucking asshats those JQ guys are. I'm about to switch to their server so I can get these god forsaken jumping puzzles done to get a piece of gear. Never have I met so many people trying to fucking grief in the puzzle. Arrowcarts(yes more then one) in the lamp room past the dark room(eternal bg one), 10 of them sitting at the top of the well waiting. Necros having guardians make them invulnerable to ranged and fearing people off ledges. I can avoid a few asshats and usually can run past them with stealth and how fast I go but these fuckers are camping this shit for hours. Not to mention my fucking server is retarded and is always outmanned 5:1 in there at all times so we can't even fight them back.

Yea I'm pissed off /rant

[Kachiko]

I don't think it really matters what the commander requirements are as nothing the game could come up with would deter those most interested in getting it, and that has nothing to do with whether or not they know shit or not.

Also, do not feed the puzzle trolls.

Also, up the damn drop rate on coins. That is all.

That actually sounds pretty fucking fun. How cool would it be to get like 10-15 people just to raid the dungeon and it eventually becomes a three way fight for the control to the puzzle. Sort of like a PVP Dungeon.

[XalienLevi]

That's exactly what they were designed for.
