Sovereign.1093

I wish there was an external way to check it.

The amount of people dying can only be those not using refresh. Using your self heals is only in emergency and when fighting where your hp reaches 50%

How

Regroup

Guards emps and casts quickness

Water is dropped

Rev pain absorbs then staff 4

Everyone blasts.

That's insta full hp in 2 seconds.

Guys practice this pls. Variations of these has existed since the very beginning

Hehe :3 hey fam.

Email I got from anet says new living story this may. So, probably then we may get the lion mount. :3

I rarely joined a pirate ship zerg because of the back-pedaling and refusal for any zerg to be the one to charge into red circles. Now, you back-pedal, you get wiped 90% of the time.

Hehe heralds and their team superspeed push on elite is love <3

> easy, add flying mount. maybe call it Warscale for the smarts and then panic after one month when u realize that flying is a bit broken and causes insane lags. or ignore that. lags don't really exist, as webhero1337, who personally did kill Zaithan, stated. the ten players he kills on his ranger each week in Wvw are his legit proof of authority.

Mmm but it hasn't happened yet. And maybe like a seed, it will grow into something good. :3

Your driver will guide you

If you have a team of minstrel nomads noodle builds. Have one use turtle banner. Then make your team nothing but minstrel fb/spell breaker/scourge. That's it queue up the map with these 3 and nothing but turtle banners. See them rage.

Lag applies differently to my group. Some of them don't lag while I do. It's because I'm in Philippines and they're in other parts of the world.

But people similarly situated with me feel the same lag because of the geographical location or similar internet isp.

Lag does exist. When it does not, my team runs super paper ensuring each push kills the enemy in 2 seconds. Because we dodge, we don't get hurt. But other than thaT if we lag. Oh we try to be as minstrel as possible so we don't accidentally die for failing to dodge.

It's hard to play this way and I don't want to get used to it.

Aye, the renegade healer is minstrel since it's alacrity bot. But herald is very strong .

Positioning dodging :/ many ppl don't do it. Please do it guys, it helps and it works

Seeing an influx of new players saying they enjoy the mode. It motivates me to play. And when the pugs x vets enjoy that too.

Tags keeps, kills stragglers , kills banner guy. Assassinates soft toons . So many things it can do and it is graat as long as you know your role

Changing yaks too. Yes, I like the idea.

The template can remain the same just the looks. I mean I do Collect outfits and spent thousands of gold doing it. That there could have been my sunrise @,..,@

Why would someone ddos aws? Huhu.

Good for you on queues :)

Does nothing for daily hunters, because they can have their guild choose nsp too. Does nothing to non active players, they don't even count in the current active play time system either, because, they're not active. Where do booted accounts go to? the other point of the alliance system was to change the server back end for these type of moves. So if they're going to spend time developing systems like this, might as well keep developing alliances, and not half drunk off shoots.

> You're completely missing the point. Dragonbanner is busted and needs serious nerfs. Use them while you can, just don't act like they aren't a problem. People gravitate to what's easiest to use and gets the best results, and dragonbanner is a 'Press 5 to Win' item so of course people are going to abuse them. It's not about it not being people's cup of tea or anything like that, it's that they get tired of a fight being determined by who has more banners.

On the issue of banners are overpowered, db being a banner, hence overpowered. I agree.

On the issue of acting as they are no problem. I don't act this way. All tiers I play, there's always a way we kill the enemy without banners and the moment we die is because of the banner and so, we use them too simply because fighting a queue with fewer isn't easy. Surprising as it may seem fights require a bit of organizing.

On the issue of people getting tired of facing banners. Yes, this is the point I drive to. Anet will act if people play less because of the banners.

So, I don't really miss the point. I pointed it clearly so it can be observed thought about by anet and then decide properly

Aye. Will probably do that. I don't enjoy solo roaming but maybe with a buddy, I can partner with someone during early raid.

The issue I have is because banners exist and enemies use it, so I have little option except to use it too.

And if anet realizes it is op, then maybe they will do something. Else, if it's not demonstrated .

> I think I speak for many groupless/guildless players when it's become clear that there are obvious consumable optimisations for WvW that turn any player into a elite-class monster. The past 14 days of my return to GW2 WvW was marred once again by organized groups with more or less raid-level optimisations. To be clear, I play and Elementalist, have full Berserker exotics and a set of scholar runes and damage sigils, so that means my damage should be expected to be slightly above the average player. I eat every consumable accessible to a casual player which can be purchased through the Black Lion Trading Post.

>

> I have 2 suggestions: Either make these optimisations part of WvW gameplay, meaning every player will eventually be on equal footing when they play WvW (barring Borderlands bloodlust, which is an objective) or entirely remove them from the equation. I'm okay with people having 25 stacks of might one-shotting light armor classes if you do not dodge. I'm okay when an entire group has every single boon on them imaginable struts around invincible in a WvW setting and I have no boon-stripping counterplay like Raid bosses have. What I'm entirely floored by, and constantly wonder how ANet could have thought this was fine, is that I can't even deal 5% of their health in damage even though I got 4 spells off without dying first, because of the amount of buffs and consumables they have. Ascended food isn't accessible to everyone at all times, either, but is of course no issues to these raiders.

>

> If you're doing to make these optimisations part and parcel of WvW gameplay, start giving these consumables (account-bound version) to players through the WvW reward track. This is a knowledge gap the average player is never going to bother breaching. Hell, I spent a good part of my PLAYING TIME researching damage optimizations to solve my 600-damage meteor showers on these raid groups.

It's just not fun or fair when it's a organization/teamplay gap when it seems that WvW is drop in/drop out anytime gameplay. ANY casual raid guild can just hop into WvW and start farming people, that's how it is right now.

> If any fully booned raid team walks through a bunch of fields unscathed just because of their gear and consumables against an equal size group AND CAN START FARMING PEOPLE for lootbags (Guilds especially love to do this), you'll find that soon WvW is going to be abandoned again after all the effort you've spent in user acquisition.

Hi fam, it may seem some groups walk on damage but they actually dodge. Some even are smart enough to coordinate a scourge portal push.

Also being at the side of the bomb limits that chance of you getting hit.

But pure damage ele even if exotic is good. Maybe the food heal on kills is a good choice for you or vampiric rune.
