I joined NSP, stayed for a week, and left. During that time, getting attention for any borderland was either non existent, or met with responses such as “we don’t care” and/or “why bother.” EB was where I noticed most commanders stayed. But that was all just blobbing or karma trains. No fights really. Got boring really quick.

This is just all one person’s observation and opinion of course.

Ha! I know what you mean. The chemistry between those three was pretty amazing. And awesome to watch from my downed state.

This perfectly describes those kinds of “fight” guilds lol It’s sad. and to address the topic, I don’t know why people tank. Maybe its because theyre mediocre in life and happy to be mediocre in video games too.

I like this idea. Give us a challenge like Amala as the SMC lord!

Hi, what server is the WvW players based out of?

Anet really stepped their game up. The mount skin is absolutely beautiful! Well done!

Good day! Recent transplant to NA servers. I mainly WvW and roam as Soulbeast (though I have other zerg classes as well). Been playing for almost a year now. This sounds like a cool idea. Is it still active? Id be willing to transfer to SBI once my 7 day time limit is up for WvW purposes.

Its a trait under the beastmastery line. It changes to a movement speed increase whenever you meld with your beast.

If story doesn’t matter to you, do HoT for as long as it takes to unlock the glider. Then get your griffon, where you’ll also be getting your mounts which will be useful for completing HoT maps. The bunny is a HoT MVP.

Actually, no need to respond as Im done here. Appreciate your point of view.

If you commanded (in any serious, competitive way), this thread wouldn’t exist. If you commanded at all, you’d know you can set whatever terms you want for your squad. The fact that this thread exists implies you don’t play a meta profession, have been offering inferior boon support and inferior squad support. And have probably been squad kicked many a time.

Ah, I forgotten that it wasn’t you because of your responses. Or, could be an alt account of yours as well. We’ll never know. When you say you play meta, you mean the wvw meta? And not try to bring another meta profession from say, raids or fractals, to join in a wvw zerg? And you command in wvw and say, not Dragonstand or the Choya Pinata? So if you do play the correct meta in wvw, and command in wvw, that means that you command openly with a welcoming all inclusive style of play. Which is great, power to ya. How long do people follow you for after every wipe?

So you are wanting to leech buffs from others playing the most effective tactical advantage profession while you are not playing one of those professions?

Spellbreaker for roaming

Firebrand for GvG/zerging

Mirage for story, map completion and open world stuff

I like the LS3 reward tracks for the currency.

Imagine how much the FPS would drop from two or three mounted zergs meeting up lol. Disconnects, disconnects everywhere.

And Incinerator’s is alot more visible and better than the Claw legendary dagger. IMO at least

After HoT we had the boonshare meta which was godawful, then the condition meta, and with PoF the Scourge/FB, boon hate, pirateshipping aoe spam fest meta.

Thanks! Excellent info

As a fairly recent (9 months or so) WvW player, what were the old glory day strategies? Because people still portal bomb, whether from mesmer or scourg.

Once you've done that, choose a server you dislike the most and make their keep perma tapped with your excess of damage skills while invulnerable. It also gets pretty entertaining when there's +8 people chasing you.

Hows the damage output with this build? Or is it simply to troll and not die?

I like these ideas and all for any of them being implemented. To add to the suggestions, maybe a reward track similiar in nature to the achievement point system that rewards it own unique set of cosmetics or titles.

I think at this point, this person is just trolling.

You wont have the numbers to do anything against a meta formed zerg. Or take players away from a meta formed zerg. People like to win. Its why there are meta professions to begin with.
