Ehmry Bay, you guys are in an odd spot this week. Constant pressure on AR in both Eternal and ARBL and AR’s rating is going up. You guys still haven’t quite figured out the odd Glicko implementation ANet is using. AR won’t give you any points as long as it does as well as it was predicted to, but keep pressing down that road so we can be together forever. Sadly if you pressed harder on BP, it wouldn’t help you’re ranking any more(only shuffle ranking from BP to AR). Coolest part is, you guys are the ones that created this black hole for your server the last 2 weeks.(Should have kept the match close for a week or two then had a blow out match, would have allowed you ranking points off both servers.)

Your logic is flawed and your commentary comical at best. Keep working it though, it is mildly entertaining…

You do realize that Glicko is flawed, and currently the only server of the 3 losing ranking is EBay. All AR needs to do is maintain the performance from last week, which it is exceeding, to lose no ranking points. Look at MOS and tell me which server has dropped in ranking of the three. The only thing comical is you fail to grasp this basic concept and retort with a trolling comment.

You are basing your argument on hindsight and theoretical posturing of who might have done what/when. Then theorize, without the foreknowledge of what Anet was going to implement and when, it would have been plausible for us to pull together a blowout against BP and a rested AR after having been demoralized and enraged with rolling the same match-up.
The icing on the cake of course, the RNG, which may/may not have neutered all of these best laid plans in any event. So yes, your logic remains flawed. I stand by my original trolly statement.

Now, in fairness I went back and re-read your post. It was not as trolling as I had originally read it to be. For that I apologize.

Cheers.

We are well aware on Ehmry Bay of how Glicko-2 works and what we need to do to gain rating points. At least, those of us who are reading the Ehmry forums should be, because the details are all posted there (including statistical analysis).

I really don’t mean this in a disparaging way, but a lot of our players were extremely disappointed to find themselves matched against BP and AR again this week. Given that we had only a 5% chance of getting this particular matchup again, it was a big disappointment when it happened. It was very much like getting 1 on a 1D20 roll, during a critically important part of a game. It’s not just unlucky, it’s unlucky at the worst possible time. It was such a huge disappointment that a lot of our players have decided to take the week off.

Here are the relevant Glicko-2 E(mu,mu-sub-j,phi-sub-j) values for our current matchup:


	EB(j)	BP(j)	AR(j)
EB	_N/A_	0.7110	0.7889
BP	0.2906	_N/A_	0.6036
AR	0.2124	0.3961	_N/A_

Believe me, my concerns for the following weeks aren’t even because of the current match up here, but what is occurring due to the RNG above and below this tier. That’s where the results of the next roll, barring some sort of divine intervention, look grim as gaps above and below begin to widen. Nothing against any server, but I signed up to play a game, not get married.

Gonna throw this video Kyle Finnegan put together here.

I’m also quite proud of how far our little BP Zerg-Breaker initiative has taken us. Kudos to all the BP involved, to Ebay for pushing us to improve, and to AR for their tenacity and the great fights.

No I dont regret it because people dont understand “my” meaning. I made NoQQ (Shoulda Rolled Kaineng) on Kaineng as a joke when Kaineng was the lowest of the low with a population that was nonexistant in WvW. Was more of a joke to those that we killed that they “Shoulda Rolled Kaineng” otherwise they wouldn’t have died in WvW to a Kaineng group roaming around. This was on Kaineng WAY before the bandwagon ride up that Kaineng did. I moved my guild off of Kaineng weeks before they started their rise up the ranks.

hey, me again.

so, I got to wondering, how much of the increase in likelihood that we’ll get this matchup again is due to our own performance, and how much is due to the rating changes on other servers?

so I ran 10,000,000 trials assuming that the ratings for EB, BP and AR don’t change at all, while the ratings of all the other NA servers change according to the current scores. Here are the results:

Ehmry Bay
8.292890 Borlis Pass Anvil Rock
5.340980 Borlis Pass Darkhaven
4.455910 Yak’s Bend Crystal Desert
4.171060 Kaineng Crystal Desert
3.683650 Borlis Pass Sorrow’s Furnace
3.636330 Maguuma Crystal Desert
3.418990 Kaineng Yak’s Bend
3.108300 Borlis Pass Isle of Janthir
3.101540 Sea of Sorrows Crystal Desert
3.041530 Maguuma Yak’s Bend

So, it looks like about 1.2% out of the 4.5% probability change is due to BP and AR gaining rating this week while EB’s rating goes down, and 3.3% out of the 4.5% change is due to the widening ratings gap between the old T5 and the other servers above and below us.

We really have to change our tactics depending on the classes we have available at the time. That wipe at the start of the video was us acting like we had 3 more guardians than we actually did, the rest of the video we were playing much more to our class strengths.

So I logged in to find us a +90 points on the board this morning at about 10 am CST. Was quite a shock, so much so I double checked the full map screen to make sure it wasn’t a glitch. In fact, the fighting and recapping turned out to be a most pleasant cap-off to my morning. One that had otherwise up until then been a frustrating bore waiting for our server folks to get their kitten together and actually kill the Karka Queen successfully for the acheivement.

My thanks to Borliss, and Kalkz’s seemingly nigh infinite golem supply, for a great time.

You guys need to actually make quick posts to let people know when you’re doing this kind of thing. Some of us would absolutely adore having the opportunity to spectate and cheer for everyone. Not saying you guys need to go so far as to schedule in advance or anything (though that would be even more awesome lol). Just a quick forum side note would be sufficient.

Ex: “Hey guys! XvX happening at XX BL in XX minutes near the windmill!”

Gonna throw this video Kyle Finnegan put together here. We don’t normally do this on the public forums, but it was a great evening and fun was had by all, and Kyle did a great job of editing a massive amount of footage and putting into one very epic WvW video (imo). I’m also quite proud of how far our little BP Zerg-Breaker initiative has taken us. Kudos to all the BP involved, to Ebay for pushing us to improve, and to AR for their tenacity and the great fights.

Enjoy!

Thank you for putting it up and to Kyle for taking the time and energy to put it together. I know doing this isn’t easy, but it’s certainly appreciated.

I’ve only been WvW’ing for a few months, so watching a coordinated group like this is extremely helpful in learning group tactics and synergies. Well done.

P.S. Excellent choice of music! :-)

Come to us, you foes, and bring your flock.
For we will crush your bones on the Anvil Rock!

Speaking of [NoQQ], I bet they are regretting naming themselves after a bandwagon server now that it’s dying. Should be “Glad We Didnt Roll Kaineng”.

No I dont regret it because people dont understand “my” meaning. I made NoQQ (Shoulda Rolled Kaineng) on Kaineng as a joke when Kaineng was the lowest of the low with a population that was nonexistant in WvW. Was more of a joke to those that we killed that they “Shoulda Rolled Kaineng” otherwise they wouldn’t have died in WvW to a Kaineng group roaming around. This was on Kaineng WAY before the bandwagon ride up that Kaineng did. I moved my guild off of Kaineng weeks before they started their rise up the ranks.

It was a joke, bud. I heard the story multiple times while we played you guys. Loosen up a bit

OMG, that was a joke. WoW had no idea it was. Dang I wish I had known before I commented since I had no clue it was. (Rolls eyes) BTW you aren’t the only one that reads the forums. Stop hating.

NoQQ

What’s up with the hostility, and where did you get the hating? I had nothing but good experiences with you guys when we played, so I’m not sure why you’re trying to pick a fight in a matchup thread that isn’t even yours.

Calm thy teets. If I knew I would have to read your life story (again), I wouldn’t have said anything. The only hating going on here is yours of corny situational humor.

The problem with the joke is that not everyone who reads the forums knows the backstory on NoQQ and why the guild is named the way it is, so Stylii has no choice but to correct the record for those people.

He probably regrets the guild name for that reason but not for the one in your joke. :P

You’re welcome! Glad you liked it, and in response, I have to say that I love your forum signature

I think I’m just about recovered from the editing burn-out that resulted from the nigh all-nighter for Dreams of Dreaming Bay, so hopefully I’ll have another production ready in the not-so-distant future for your viewing pleasure

What is it with ALS commanders and using camera hack whilst on arrow carts. Is it a manditory requirement before you get your tag?

The other problem is that Stylii posts like a 12 year old girl does; between the ballistic approach to punctuation and capitalization plus the love of emotes and OMGs I always have trouble reading his posts in anything but a shrill, hysterical voice that always ends sentences with !?.

It makes me feel like I’m trolling on deviantart/gaia again. Like I wouldn’t be shocked to see him spouting off stuff about Naruto, bishies, and yaoi in 16 pt glittery pink comic sans.

Basically, it’s really hard to understand exactly what he’s saying if you don’t have experience talking with him in vent to filter the post through.

Personally, I loved wearing my [NoQQ] tag back when we fought against Kaineng. Especially when we ran over War Machine and SoS groups.

I miss the glory days of Oct & Nov. The game will never be that much fun again.

The other day Ebay made a vid of how bad AR was and in this vid you guys were using the zoom hack with your AC placement. So if your going to talk kitten make sure your not standing it it first. Its embarrassing and you should just stop before you make it worse.
