    To avoid certain exploits. Like example, someone shooting the warlcaw dismount missile on you, you see it and dismount so it hits you un mounted, and thus doesn't put you in combat, and instantly mount up again before the player can engage you.

    well that wouldn't work because the dismount skill does damage and puts you both into combat 

    i'm all for op's idea if we make the dismount skill unavoidable. i.e. i press warclaw 4 on you and you are off your mount and in combat

    How often did you manage to break Ejele's bar?
    I think you used Fleshworm Teleport to get back, right?

    i was using spectral walk to port back

    i didnt even know he sent me to jail until after starting the boss lol, i didnt read any mechanics or anything i just wiki'd how to spawn them

  3. So I went and checked out the high judge fights you mentioned and I pretty easily solo'd all 3. Yeah there was a bit of cc but nothing too unmanageable.

    ^^^ Thats all false, one just play pvp with any skilled player that makes cc his thing. he'll keep you CC'd until your dead, I promise. 🙂  But pvp aside, there are many bosses who do that. 
    For instance, fight a high judge from Vabbi, specially Sidan who summons mobs.  Several of his mobs have instant stuns, one of his moves is a hammer upswing, with no que, its instant, its one of his stand attacks, it throws you into the air, and then across the room. He also stuns you and ... locks your powers. 🙂  yes if you have a stun break you can cancel it, but I just listed how many stuns? good luck finding a build with that many stun breaks. 
    That's just one fight, the game is littered with fights like that.

    First, that "tank build = aggro" is nonsense. 
    ^^^ this is the first CUE I have that you have zero clue how the game mechanics work, go look into how to properly use toughness and you might figure out how that works. 🙂

    Exactly. I dont get how people are so mind blown by this concept. It honestly makes me feel like half the people on these forums dont actually play the game xD At least all the ones making confused faces on these posts like they've never tried to play EoD or PoF solo or with what few people are on the maps. 

    All anyone has to do is try the High Judge Ejele fight without making a group ahead of time. Basic fight. Basic event. its near impossible due to CC. Most the high judge fights are. At one point, they were fine. because 500 people were running around the map. Now, they are nightmares. There are many spots in the game like that.

  5. maguuma/blackgate have always artificially lowered the populations of the servers they are facing. against them people would rather transfer than play that week and it gets worse if you're stuck in the same tier as one or both of them for multiple weeks. it's not even a numbers problem (at least for maguuma) because when maguuma was t4 people would still refuse to play against them

     

    also, population is determined by how active your server is relative to the most active server (in this case it's almost certainly maguuma). blackgate is the only other server with comparable activity to maguuma but throughout the years they've been thoroughly whipped by mag to the point that the entire server just gives up before the match even starts leaving the 3rd t1 server out to dry

    What happened to the promise of making them cheap before EOD  release? They are incredibly expensive and time consuming to get. And anet keeps nerfing the materials to push the prices higher and higher. Not to mention that obnoxious collection you have to make for every single weapon. Like seriously, the 6 variants together cost the same as 2-3 full legendary weapons. FOR A RESKIN. 

    So anet was lazy to properly make a gen3 set with unique weapons, fine. Then they promise to make the variants  cheap, which would've been fair. But they are way too overpriced.

     

    Anyone else think this is an issue?

    It's like 400g and a couple of hours at most to get. Seems fast and cheap to me.

    I‘ll simply reiterate: WvW is not a gamemode to brainless manhunt bully people over and over.

    so if you have nothing to fight in your current matchup you should just log off completely instead of logging in your alt accounts and finding fights elsewhere? this is how guilds die

    also there is a gvg inhouse discord that is active, these multiaccounters definitely already do fight amongst themselves. however drivers are not always available and sometimes the times for these inhouses are too early for some people (most happen around 7 est) in order to not conflict with guild raids

  8. So I logged on this morning on the NA servers (10 AM eastern meta) and clicked the first squad I saw in lfg. Another easy clear with 4 minutes left on the timer. The squad didn't even have a commander until someone volunteered to tag up and sort people. I streamed the entire thing to show you there wasn't any "hidden private squad" carrying us. And it wasn't good rng either, she swapped sides a lot during 80-60% and 60-40%. I haven't failed this meta in over 30 attempts since March.

     

    Here is the vod: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1687703205

    If your players need to premade and organize open world content with specific builds to succeed, the content is a failure.

    Content like this belongs in instances, not open world.

     

    False. Yesterday I joined a squad in lfg 5 minutes before the meta started. The commander randomly chucked people into subs based on what he thought were quickness and alac builds. We cleared with 5 minutes left on the timer. This is the log: https://dps.report/KtoE-20221222-124614_de

     

    You can see that boon uptime isn't great and the majority of it was generated by the protocols. We still easily cleared.

    I'll be the one to explain I guess

     

    When indo and his gang were linked with vip i think someone in his guild said in team chat "spam 1 if vip is trash" and a ton of people started spamming 1 so vip got pretty kitten about it

    I am incorrect; he was a Warrior. He did the Greatsword spin attack to stop the person who tried to rez me.

    I never used the GS at the Ranger, or as a Warrior, so I thought Ranger's moveset contained the twirl. TBF; not knowing the moveset meant it could have contained the Thriller dance, and I would not have known the difference.

     

    So he probably hit me with Fan of Fire, but it just looked like a vomit of arrows that I associated with Rapid Shot.

    Either way; having 24k DPS seems...absurd. Moreso when I could not do a fraction of a fraction of that damage with my entire weapon skillset.

     

    greatsword 3 does do a lot of damage, but generally people don't run a longbow combined with a greatsword on warrior because the longbow is primarily a condi weapon and greatsword power. are u sure u are not misremembering something

    K. So I messed up a skill. I've been boucing between my Ranger and my Revenant in PvE. Both use bows, so I messed up which bow my Ranger has.

    Please explain how Rapid Fire did 24 thousand damage in less than 2 seconds.

     

    you are glass and he is glass and he pressed sic em on you then shot you with his longbow 2 also you did not dodge

  13. rapid fire is a longbow skill and is 1500 range, and the fact that you didn't know that even though you supposedly played ranger pretty much answers why you get blasted instantly when you step into wvw: you don't have enough game knowledge to play the pvp modes yet

    The "omniblob" wouldn't be needed if you didnt build 1000 AC's, Catas, Trebs and Ballistas.  everywhere. But we enjoy pulling you one by one off of those and getting bags.

     

    no, omniblobbing is a way of life there, blackgate will do it regardless of what their opposition does, just like how mag will cloud no matter what

     It's widely regarded amongst the players I've spoken with that Blackgate and Maguuma both have huge populations. Do they really need to be linked with another server? I've heard their que's to get into maps are large enough that it kind of sucks for them as well.

     

    Maguuma only has a big NA population, and even then, they only queue EB and one borderland at most during primetime. The EB queue is usually in the 30-40s but the borderland queue is in the single digits. 

    Blackgate has a more evenly distributed spread of population, with decent numbers throughout the entire day, but I'm pretty sure the only time they queue a map is when the rawr omni boonblob is online.

    The only reason why these two servers seem like they have significantly more population is because there's always a portion of the wvw community on the third t1 server that straight up won't log in to play against Mag or BG, let alone both of them together.

    Also, in EU, historically the unlinked servers have always sat in the lowest tier (t5). This suggests that any two linked servers will always have more population than a single server.

    Yesterday I was playing with my side having ~30 or so players tops, and both other teams having easily >70 players. I am unable to verify whether I am exaggerating (I have zero way of seeing how many players are online on any of the teams). But the fact remains that imbalance that bad really should not be *possible* much less something halfway expected at this point!

     

     

    I was also on last night, and I can tell you for at least an hour on green borderlands, all three sides had roughly equal numbers. Mag had two 20-25 guilds online, BG had the rawr omniblob, and ebay had BADA + pugs (at least 50 of them). The only problem is that BADA are just a small step up in skill compared to beginner ai bots so they just got farmed on repeat whenever they came close to mag or bg. ebay does have less coverage throughout the day compared to mag or bg but it's not like they're significantly outnumbered. they're in fact ticking the highest right now
