We actually ended up discussing that in WvW last night as we failed our breakout event. Because of skills having to be balanced for WvW, sPvP, and PvE, you end up with a watered down, pretty boring combat system.

The breakout event in WvW is pretty useless too. The NPC can tank and deal damage like crazy, but he only shields the siege for about two minutes, after that a group of 5-10 defenders can keep you from capping it.

it's about time, also trying different builds, I used to have no faith in my ranger, thinking that because a thief raped me thief class is better, because a mesmer raped me mesmer class is better, but after alot of practice and finding my perfect build, now when I'm wandering wvw once i see an enemy by himself I'm like "FREE BADGES", and most of the time I win, cuz I just have to survive while my pet does most of the damage, and no one gives attention to pets usually, so they never notice the little raven raping them.

I agree it's not that useful, most of the time people just ignore the event and go by themselves, but hey free siege is always good :sohappy:

If you've got the numbers to take the tower, bring him along, because once he's in the tower he can easily hold off a zerg long enough for you to gather a group and wipe them, but aside from that, he really isn't that useful.

The event needs to be rethought
- Triggers at five people instead of ten, because if you don't have your nearest tower, you probably don't have many people on the map
- Shields on the siege are dynamic, as long as the enemy outnumbers you, the shields remain up, when numbers are even or your team has the advantage, no shield
- NPC does large damage to gates himself, he should pretty much be a walking ram
- Weapon swapping, he should have a ranged weapon of some kind. Sure, he can pull people off walls and kill them in 1-2 hits, but that still isn't that useful.

Look for smaller guilds, that's where most of the "calm" people are. The big guilds are all trolls or keyboard commandos. What server are ya'll on?

On Blackgate :)

The new Secret of Southsun content is actually pretty fun. I want that crazy backpiece. :D Since I have nothing better to do with my gold I'll probably start saving up for Abyss on my Thief.

I'm really happy with my medium sized server - I've only met friendly people so far :) It's such a relief that not every MMO's community is full of rude idiots. But I can imagine most of the impatient loudmouth elitists are on the biggest servers like Aurora Glade and Far Shiverpeaks. It's where most of my RL friends went, and well, it suits them :P

Will need to check out the new content asap then! :D

EDIT: Apparently there are huge queues for WvWvW, I've only had to deal with it being full once before and the wait was 3 minutes max :P WvWvW isn't dead for smaller servers, it's just not as massive but just as fun or maybe more :)

If you don't mind transferring to SoR I know a good smaller guild on there, it's a group of "older" (20s-30s) people though. Their still chill, but you don't see penis jokes and yolo every 5 seconds. Still might not be up your ally though.

No more free transfers :( although I plan on buying another total makeover kit so might have some extra gems to spend on a transfer 8)

Yeah, and transfers aren't cheap either. 1800 gems to a high population server comes to ~50g, for people that don't just farm mindlessly, that isn't a small amount of money.

more progress and goodies!
still can't manage to go over 20g without gambling, at least there's nothing that important to buy with the gold anyway, was tournament-o-holic for a few days and made it to 26 and almost 150 win, right now going fract-o-holic, it's fun specially when getting on raidcall with random people, guildwars2 players are very nice compared to silkroad's!

Nice dye collection man, working on mine myself. So glad I unlocked the Redemption dye (Gold) but I still want Abyss, **** the 20g though :(

I've been playing solo queue tournament myself, it's quite fun and addicting considering you can easily get some awesome weapon skins from the chests.

they've been doing that for the last couple of months, just splitting the monthly content into two parts to keep the people interested.

They just released the recap of events. It's almost the end of freaking Scarlet hehe. I wonder what will be the thing that'll "permanently change the face of Tyria". I call the awakening of the next Elder Dragon
