  1. no i guess i haven't been to a map that got that far that was skipping wisps like that. I've run the meta a lot and can say that the two times you have to do wisps were never an issue outside of once in a while a circle gets missed and even then...i'd never say that was a make or break part of the fight.
  2. none do, your usually expected to figure it out by you know....being in a guild that works to help each other, or and stay with me here....opening google and doing a search to reach a site that is created to help players in whatever MMO you want to look up info for.
  3. no idea, i've never been on map when a person running the meta tried to tell the group to do any of those things the only time skipping tail is even done is if the boss is like 1 or 2% from going to the next phase and you just push through..other then that you always switch to kill the tail. I'd have to assume those youtubers or commanders your referencing did not have a very successful time clearing the event.
  4. *checks* uhhh most of them with any sort of Raid, Dungeon, or end game content expect you to be at least slightly competent at playing your class and doing a respectable amount of damage if your doing a dps role Again...please show me one that the player base is just fine for a player who's expected to do damage....is respected for not doing a good job at it
  5. EOD raid specs? uhh no in fact we politely ask our group to not use some of them. (the Engi EOD spec actually really sucks for the Final battle) I myself usually play on my pre EOD Condi Firebrand. We do get some of the newer ones, Vindicator and Willbender come to mind but it doesn't dominate the group nor do we even try to tell players what build to play in any of the runs the group i'm in. oh, and not sure what you mean by youtube, none of us do live streams there if thats what you mean.
  6. They are playing an MMO. This is not a mobile game you play on your cell phone, this isn't a single player game you can play on a PS4. I do not think it's out of line to expect people who are playing MMO to do things that nearly every MMO Players do. Great the game is terrible at telling you what build and rotations you should be using for max dps. Please provide me a single MMO that does.
  7. dunno what your talking about Group i'm in doesn't skip anything, we do the green's for wisp phase, kill the thornharts that spawn, kill the tail when it comes up and we CC the boss when there is a chance to do it. i never once said to ramp up your dps to such a degree that you can skip any of that stuff
  8. yeah and i'm not talking about those builds that allow you to do that I'm more focusing on people doing less then 5k dps on a Herald, or Thief, or Weaver or whatever class you want to mention just auto attacking and being generally useless to the group. I promise you, if you had a full raid of people doing 16k DPS you wouldn't be here on the forums whining about how hard the DE Meta is and begging Anet to nerf it because you'd kill the boss every single time without fail. the problem is there are to many people not wanting to put in the effort, Not wanting to join a guild that does PVE and can help them prepare. Not wanting to join Discord or any other voice tool in order to even try to coordinate with the group doing the fight. Not wanting to even try to go to one of several sites that are out there to HELP players figure out what build they should be running to be effective and often even say what rotation. Not wanting to or willing to go to youtube and watch videos about their class or the boss/meta they are having trouble with. i'm sorry if you think i should be sorry for the above players and i should be making excuses for them, or running here to be a white knight and say we need to nerf the fight to they can be included. I'm not, i refuse to give them an excuse, and I'm certainly not their white knight. Even casuals who have put in the time to get to level 80, and cleared the story to get to Dragons end in the first place should identified that they like the game enough to put in an effort and casually tried to look up ways to get better by now. This game is 10 years old, stop making excuses for people who don't want to try and expect the rest of you to carry them. P.S. to anyone reading this, if you look at your dps meter and see that your doing a respectable amount of damage in these fights, and you even did part of the stuff above i mentioned players aren't doing...then I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU
  9. i'm not talking about looking at rotations from something like say spectre who can do massive dps by just spamming 3 the entire fight. these are like Heralds or guardian's just auto attacking. Also, your entire point is a balance issue not an issue with the EOD Meta no class imo should be able to pump out 25k dps by just auto attacking or using a single skill
  10. looking at ArcDPS logs can tell you quite a bit, i suggest you dig a bit deeper into those failed runs and see why some of us are saying the players not putting in any sort of effort is the problem. the last fail i had was when i randomly decided to try to help a map on a whim when they looked to be gearing up and going for it. group failed at 12%, i looked at my dps log and hm......so many low DPSers, so i checked what they were doing by clicking on their name at the top grouping, choosing player summary and then choosing simple rotation and........they were auto attacking....for most of the fight. just spaming 1. no attempt at any sort of even attempted rotation. (not all of them mind you but most of the really low damage dealers were) This, is why you have players responding to you saying the fight is fine, in the groups that fail we see a sizeable chunk of players just not giving a kitten and auto attacking instead of trying to actually do damage.
  11. your whining because you have to do a single boss fight (strike mission) so yeah....i am talking about you
  12. are you......wait, your taking issue with the time needed to get the def and off buff from stations? Really....i mean.....seriously? I don't even usually bother with those until we are in the last hour and can EASILY get an hours of each buff while going through the center and east / west lanes to work up to the final battle. There are batteries and buff stations all over the place along the way. this step / part should bet he last thing anyone complains about as it already takes no effort to complete.
  13. because it's an MMO? and nearly every other MMO out there has parts of the game that require voice chat? Did you just come from Hello kitty online or something? you have to know this if you've been playing like any other MMO out there or did anything in those games other then solo story mode.
  14. well i completed skyscale.....hated all the running around but it was worth the effort I completed the turtle....didn't have much of an issue with the strike and actually hated the fight with the fish more. Seriously it's an MMO.....if you expect everything to just be handed to you without having to put in any sort of effort to obtain it your playing the wrong Genre of games

  16. it's not just above average, it's the more well informed. that first hour gives you a chance to get a pair of buffs that greatly increase your chase of clearing the boss Clear 10 events in that hour to get your 10 stacks of a buff (it's a 20% damage buff) and the ability to open 10 extra chests at the end (center row of chests) then collect batteries and get the jade offensive and defense buffs that are all over the map until you have a buff that will cover the remaining time left. (more damage and defense) If during that hour you get the readiness of the 3 sub areas of the zone (north, middle, south) you get an extra 5% damage increase. That alone is usually why last minute groups that only start with the last hour. fail, they are missing like 30% in damage buffs and some defense buffs.
  17. I'd also add, any LFG groups that are wanting KP can go F themselves...ignore those groups and find another. You know a good group when you see it, and really the coordination being required here is a bit overstated, as is the complaints about the time involved to clear it. This isn't the only meta that can take a while, the dragonsfall meta wasn't exactly fast, nor is one in the new charr zone (name escapes me at the moment) you don't even really need to spend the first hour doing Meta prep, just go clear 10 events in that entire hour to get your 10 stacks (it's a 20% damage buff, you need it!) then collect batteries and get the jade offensive and defense buffs that are all over the map until you have a buff that will cover the remaining time left. (more damage and defense) then do whatever the kitten you want for the remaining time (Last run i was on i spend 40 minutes fishing) until the final meta run starts (last hour) Be willing to join Discord if the group asks for it...seriously the groups that use voice chat and people join it usually do a lot better. The group i run with does not form up in arborstone.....does not require Kill proof, or anything like that and is willing to take anyone that happens to be on the map that wants to clear the meta. we do ask for people to join discord but don't require it (i can think of one time someone got really upset at being asked to join discord, usually people are happy to do so) We run 1 tag, explain the fights in voice and expect people to split on their own with little direction on the sub boss parts. Granted at least 70% of the group is guild members most nights but we usually never have an issue clearing the boss with our best remaining time of almost 7 minutes.
  18. I would like to add on to the EWP, pull that before they breach the inner wall/doors, ask in chat first, and call it out in team chat that it's coming before you pull it. If you pull it when they are on inner all your doing is getting your own people killed in most cases. A lot of groups even when on the lord are just waiting to see that waypoint and will immediately go for that waypoint and delete anything spawning in and will stay there collecting bags until the waypoint expires then will go back to the lord to cap.
  19. you probably don't want to know. unless you have an unhealthy obsession with EBG or people dressed in animal costumes, for your own mental health i wouldn't try to dig to much into the thought processes of what goes into mag swag
  20. This looks like your fighting Mag which is fair. You can't win vs mag in EB with small Roaming groups...you just can't they will just run you over. You can beat the mag cloud on EB if you get a guild group on map and forms up a proper zerg, but even then, fighting that cloud under a thousand pieces of defensive siege is annoying. But let me ask you, you do know there are 3 other maps you could go to right. Mag has EB covered for sure but thats all they do. In every match they queue that map and barely even care about the others. go have your fun on the other 3 BL's and let the mag cloud do a circle kitten with themselves in their EB.
  21. please tell me your not from Mag
  22. this whole comment shows a lack of understanding about how those "big" alliances work. you won't find say the top 5 WvW guilds all team up together to roll over anyone they run into. That would not benefit them at all and would not be something they want. Those strong guilds do not care that much about turning the map their color, or rolling over clouds of randoms. That is boring as hell. Those guilds want the fights and they want to fight good teams because that is interesting, that is fun to them. IF anything this will spread things out more even so each matchup will have something like even numbers. instead of the current matchups where there is often 1 out of 3 servers that are horribly outmatched numbers wise and is not able to really compete
  23. They used to have a cap on how much siege you could place on a map years ago. (i know this for fact because my guild actually capped the map once by trying to put down a line of Flame Rams from north camp to south camp, capped the map somewhere before Garrison if i recall.) (before you ask, it was a boring matchup, we were bored and there was a lot of drinking involved) I don't have much of an issue with siege inside a keep, is it annoying, yeah, but that is what it's there for, Arrow carts are defensive siege....they should be required to be more spread out though. Strategy comes in on how you deal with it....do you just force your way through....or do you pull back and put down your own siege (like trebs or Balista's) to clear the top of the walls first.
  24. oh noes you mean by playing a support Firebrand i'm not getting as many heavy loot bags as everyone else.... how unjust! bleh, talk to the people in your party. Play support well enough you'd be surprised how many of them toss you some of the heavy loot bags they get at the end of the raid, because lets be real here, It's only heavy loot bags.
  25. so why don't you and those committed players form your own alliance so you can stay together, like the "big" guilds did yeah you might not hit the cap of 500 or so players, but that "community" that your concerned about can stay together kind of not seeing what the problem is here unless your seem to think Anet should just do this for you.
