I will admit I block, compose a message, then unblock an opposing player.

Difference is I never have sent a toxic email. It’s always “That was an epic fight! I appreciate you and the fun. May my bag have dropped ascended mats. Have an awesome day”

An 99% of the time we become friends. I have even asked what am I doing wrong because I should be able to counter. And again I end up becoming friends. That’s how to be non toxic. ?

> Its not hard to open discord app and just listen. I rarely speak in discord because "reasons" but i can listen to what the tag wants when he calls for sneak gyro or positioning changes etc. Seriously how can anyone think its such an inconvenience

I only have myself to speak for. Discord #1 chomps through my data at an unholy rate. #2 Running it is basically useless cause I am hard of hearing (old). That’s why I still use mapchat and instead of being part of the fight I scout calling out numbers, guild, location, havoc/blob/whole kit and kaboodle of a server, siege and wall/gate percentages. (Yes as a permastealth thief it’s the best class to scout, and no I will avoid any fight possible)

That way I help the way I can and throw a disable or two out to grant the big groups time. But the kicker is, I never will get actually close to our guys so I don’t snatch a boon or mess up a stealth push. Sometimes I get invited to the squad and get that delicious shared participation but I never pitch a fit if I don’t get it.

Work with what you have and don’t worry about the rest. Also I do my callouts in /m if I know we have a big enough force on the map or /t if I know we have forces elsewhere. Helps folks realize the game isn’t dead.

Ok this is the first video that I can say I thoroughly enjoyed watching and thank you for no annoying music. 10/10

That I apologize for. A lot of us on JQ was not happy to still be in T4 when DB & MAG tied. We know we outnumber our opponents now. And a good bit of us is is wanting to face different servers. Cause I know it’s not fun getting locked down by a more dominant server. Been there and it after a while becomes demoralizing. Hopefully Friday we will move up and out of T4 and some semblance of normalcy can return to T4.

Lmao Risen. So glad you went through with the idea! I laughed so hard during the teq battle with bobble head on. Ty for sharing!

Agreed, Was a funny image In my head but wvw won’t get changed.

Yeah I know. It’s to help the team synergy.

But come on you can’t say the image of everyone being bumped off a wall or cliff wouldn’t be funny. I can imagine our commanders going “for gods sake quit pushing me!!!!”

> @"HnRkLnXqZ.1870" said:

> Well, no. Every class out there has mechanics tied to the downed-state. Some Elite Specializations are designed to utilize the downed state in a special way. During the no-downed-state week, each of those is kicked into a trash-bin. We do not get a compensation for all the skills that stopped working.

Tbh most of the time you cleave a person to death. Pressing F to finish is not the most efficient way. I rarely see finishers being used.

I am thinking of the social awkwardness instability. Now of all that would be hilarious. Group of 50 “stack....then we push. I didn’t say push first!!!” Bumper car treatment where folks just bump people off the walls or worse ones a red bl off a cliff.

Ah I lumped in scouting with roaming (instead of vs or duels). I rarely fight but scout/tap on my thief to give the server a heads up if there is massive movement and direction since I don’t use discord or TS. So my build is squishy but can out run a mount easy.

Massive respect to the roamers who do fight though. I have watched some impressive fights.

Good for scouting and call outs. If you got a survivable build and can take camps solo as well as defend off another roamer then life is good. Bad on the flip side of you are not running a take on 3-5 vs 1 beast build. Cause you will die and find yourself looking up at the sky as siege is thrown upon you wondering where you went wrong in life.

So it has its ups and downs.

*ba dum tish*

Just my humble observation. I noticed the changes didn’t do as intended. TTK hasn’t changed really. By scouting the fights don’t last that long when it’s Zerg on Zerg

Make it interesting. The pvp folk get a copper for a kill. The pve folks get a gold for each hit.

> people who constantly tag keep(s) are just some of the most saltiest players there is, their paper server couldnt win the matchup so they resort to this tactic

Nah with me its just retribution for bad sportsmanship. Also I don't gank players, or target them. Enough taps, and they call for roamers to hide and seek with me which sometimes I win at it, sometimes I lose at it. I don't even desiege keeps if I do tapping. And honestly, its a good tactic, if you are on the defense, and you need to slow the enemy path back to where you are defending, tapping that wp can turn the tide of battle.

I raise my hand as a keep tapper. Simple reasoning, if I am on my scourge and I legit get killed (which is ok, and encouraged) and either siege is dropped upon my corpse or jumping occurs (not ok and childish), you betcha I am on a mission to keep your keep tapped for a good two hours while I browse my phone. Water taps for green, ruins taps for blue, or stealth taps in the corner for red. Tit for a tat.

Btw, use stealth traps please. You will prevent folks like me if you use the tricks and traps as needed.

I shall light a candle in his beloved memory. We could always count on Willy. He wasn’t perfect and didn’t run quite right due to a missing limb, but he gave his little heart to all of us. The new hamster although he is more balanced can’t seem to keep up the traction on the wvw wheel. That’s why we are lagging cause the poor feller can’t run right.

This makes me think of the bubble paladins in WoW. Still nah we don't need any more latency than we already have.

Hi there!

As the title says, I am looking for a active PvE guild that does fractals, dungeons, and world events and doesn't require voice communications like discord/ts. I have a bad time with sounds and get sensory overload bad to where I get migranes. I play the game in silence yet can type and research game mechanics (know most from doing them over 7 years) I can't transfer due to being with DB and run with the gods guild on raid nights (wvw) where I don't have to get into coms. So looking for a active PvE guild that doesn't mind taking in a ol gal that can contribute to a good time. I do all my communication via typing.

If I sound like someone who your guild would like to have on board, please contact me. I look forward to hopefully finding another home for pve events.

Sincerely,

Sin

Why is this an issue? If it’s listed in strike or not just read the description and don’t join if it’s listed in the wrong or right tab. This is a bit nit picky.

I agree with you. I won’t step foot in a raid. But there needs to be more raids for the raiding community big time.

I love doing strike missions in my full healing guardian though. And do many speed runs of the new strike Forged in Steel. Perfect time allotment for me. Not to short, not overly long with simple mechanics that some might start doing raids from it. Win win in my opinion.

Have to agree it is way past time to be able to toggle those effects off. As a fashion freak I refuse to make them cause everything has to be color coordinated for me.

Btw wtb solid black weapons. Or dyable weapons.

Thanks yall, I was hoping that wasn't the case but ah well. Will wait till reset on the chests then to unlock the other weapons.

Is this intentional?

> It's really stupid, when you drop one bomb and die from retaliation alone, what are you supposed to do if there's no boon cleanse around, not every class can do it. It's one thing to have to learn your class to play right so you don't die, but when you can't attack because it will just straight up down you, there's little you can do. It's not a skill issue, but a broken mechanic. The enemy doesn't have to react, they just have to keep the boon active.

I don’t have anything to contribute to the discussion but wanted to let you know of a way to capture tour screen with arcdps.

Press SHIFT S and the windows key all at the same time and you can take an instant screencap with everything on your screen. (TaCo and arcdps included) then just click and save it when it goes to your clipboard.
