They are trying to cap SM before the update hits, they was that PPT for downtime.
Well, obviously. But it’s that kind of greed and poor decision making that makes BG get 2v1’d in the night. It’d be more beneficial for all of us if we keep SoR out of their own territory (and possibly break a waypoint), but instead now they kitten ed off both servers once again.
We have a theory about this. Some of us think that BG does overtime on the weekends pulls 24/36/48 hour shifts. This is why they always have such a good start and dominate the scoreboard on the weekend. Then they burn out and by the begining of the weekday they are either too tired to play or the other part of this strategy is to demoralize the other server by pushing so kitten weekends and get far enough ahead of them that the other server will be too demoralized and behind to win. Then they they have a weak showing on monday and early week becasue all of thief pugs think “haha yea we are sooo good we won this matchup already, lets go do pve” Then next time they check the score board BG isnt winning anymore. and then they are like" SoR and JQ double teams us they cheat"
If this is true IDK its just a theory.
Hmm, I’m a BG, and I pull around 6-10 hours shifts in weekend and 3 hours on weekdays (work), I don’t PVE, and I’ve never mentioned 2V1/cheat in my gaming life ever, so your theory isn’t quite right there :P
As a scientist IRL, I’d like to say that this sample size is a terrible representation of the population as a whole. Your opinion makes this study inconclusive. More data is needed. Theory is still sound…
As a scientist, don’t you think it’s wrong to formulate a hypothesis then accept or reject evidence based on whether or not it supports your hypothesis?
I can make any random statement and call it valid based on lack of evidence..especially on such an inaccurate and uncertain sample like an internet forum.
Nice zoom hacks Even though this will be ignoreed/ Infracted/ removed, and nothing done about it at least a few people will realize the lows that SoR goes to to win a fight.
I know yer peeved Kaimick but keep in mind that it’s not SoR, but an individual player or players that choose to take advantage of an obvious flaw with the field of view at certain resolutions. Sure it does seem to be brought up most often about a particular guild, but it’s still a small sub-set of the server. Sometimes you just have to shake it off and hope they stop using cheesy tactics or hope Anet fixes it.
In my personal opinion, this falls squarely into the category of “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should”. Arrow carts already suck as it is guys. Please don’t make it worse. Cata the wall or something.
Not really even if this is the case ( which it isn’t as I have it and can’t shot over a wall like that) lets humour the fact it is. This creates a un fair advatage to the people that do not have this ability, then again I have eyefinity and it still doesn’t alow me to do that. Although like I said nothign you can do about it, cause A Net will not punish them as the Dev’s supposedly play on that server so what have you. Way to go Arena Net
They are shooting through the gap on the door via Eyefinity. The whole unfair advantage thing this gives is bogus. People who can afford a larger field of view should play with a larger field of view. Nothing unfair about that. That is like saying people with the most up to date gaming rig has an unfair advantage over those with a toaster from 2001 due to lag/latency issues. Or those with a razer naga/g600 has a unfair advantage due to the readily available key binds.
Hate to break it to you, but the whole point of competitive gametypes (which wvw supposedly is) is to even the playing field as much as possible between all parties. This means each party has the same capabilities, with hardware affording ease of use, better visuals, etc., but not affording capabilities that is not accessible to other parties.

Changing mechanics of a game because you have better field of view is pretty stupid honestly. If you can’t shoot somewhere with one setup, why the hell should you be able to it with another.

Yes because all of SoR uses this.. Its SoR’s fault. That’s like saying that all of BG hacked Orbs back when they were around.

Eyefinity is accessible to other/any parties if they are willing to get 3 or so monitors. So these capabilities are accessible to all. Like I said, it isn’t as different as having a 17 button mouse which gives the user additional capabilities compared to other users without one.

Apparently you misunderstood my point. Lower end hardware does not prevent you from performing actions that other players are capable of, though it may make it difficult. Without altered screen dimensions, it does not matter how kitten your processor and graphics card are, you will never be able to do this. Additionally, game developers try to cater to the lowest reasonable hardware specifications both to gain the largest market possible, and to prevent problems like this from arising for the vast majority of their playerbase. Why ANet allows zoom-unlocking in wvw is mind-boggling.

A multi-button mouse doesn’t afford any capabilities not granted by a basic hardware setup. It does not allow you to do things other players cannot, it can only make these actions easier to perform. Buying additional monitors is something external to the gamespace, which is in direct opposition to creating a competitive gametype. All advantages must be gained through interactions with the gamespace itself and the moving parts contained within.
Wasn’t the superbox bug with zooming removed or said to be an exploit, yet a program is allowed to exploit (as what Kyro said)to use graphics bug (or something that is not suppose to be, the gap in the door) in conjuction with a program to kill people?
Leto, that also is a extremely unsmart comment. Computer or lack of a good system is one thing. Using a outside program to gain an advantage when a in game bug gave the same effect, but was consider an exploit, is so much different.
The point is its one guild’s commander. Whether or not its all of SoR or just 1 person. I assume that guild isn’t a tiny guild and this is a commander which is 2 huge things. Also you guys/girls coming in and defending that person for using, at best, shady tactics after all the we just want good fights talk from SoR, is pretty hilarious.

The point I’m trying to make is, this is a part of the game. Rich or foolish people are able to improve their game play experience and A-net is even providing support for these people. There is countless QQ threads about this, some you can do without eyefinity, others you cannot. Guess what? A-net made NO comment on this, meaning, you guessed it. They aren’t going to do a kitten thing about it.
If they do something about it, it kittens with those peoples game play experience, if they don’t, it kittens other peoples game play experience. So yea, A-net boned themselves from the start.
So generalizing an entire server, or guild isn’t going to accomplish anything. If you really want to do something about it, bug A-net to change the AC mechanics to that of a cata or something along those lines.

“lowest reasonable hardware specifications”
It’s pretty obvious that developers don’t have control over the hardware setups that their customers are running. This has always been a problem with PC gaming, and is one of the things that consoles were designed to fix. Despite this, developers always work to give an even playing field to those who meet the minimum specifications or above.
What developers can control is what software is used to interact with their game, and typically ban everything that could give players an unfair advantage for using (see: every other competitive game).
I don’t know why you’re trying to defend this point. If I download a zoom or speed hack, is this legal within the game space because “anyone else can just download that hack too”?

Good to see BG has that Euro coverage once again now that HB is back, must of seen at least 30+ on SoRBL buring the midnight oil!
HB is only back part time, and mostly just to find fights and have fun. That said it was a really good night tonight with alot of good battles in both EU and EST prime.

That isn’t true in the case of wider monitors as resolution can only go so far in this case. So, yea those with 3 monitors can and should be able to see more. That, like I said isn’t the problem. Seeing more shouldn’t harm the game. The problem lies within the acs themselves. And my original point was, you shouldn’t judge a server for anets folly, especially when every server has people using it.

I’m not judging the server at all, I’m just saying you’re wrong. No, you shouldn’t be allowed to see more, because that harms the game. That will always harm the game, regardless of whether it allows you to shoot places you otherwise couldn’t or just see and gather information that you should not be able to. If the intention was to allow players to have increased field of view, anet would allow players to zoom out as far as they wanted. You haven’t even denied that this gives an advantage to people who use it, which, regardless of whether or not they “deserve” this advantage (they don’t) is still garnered from a controllable external influence. ANet can’t upgrade your hardware for you, but they can sure as hell prevent you from abusing third party software to gain an advantage in their game.
Sure it does seem to be brought up most often about a particular guild, but it’s still a small sub-set of the server. Sometimes you just have to shake it off and hope they stop using cheesy tactics or hope Anet fixes it.

I think the answer should be submit a ticket and do not post it here.
Anything beyond that it’s just the same thing.
Lets keep it clean guys! Great fights Everyone!
Hate to break it to you, but the whole point of competitive gametypes (which wvw supposedly is) is to even the playing field as much as possible between all parties. This means each party has the same capabilities, with hardware affording ease of use, better visuals, etc., but not affording capabilities that is not accessible to other parties.
WvW is an unbalanced game type and will always be so due to the players at a variety of levels and the differing coverage.

All situations that arise through internal game mechanics.
Wasn’t the superbox bug with zooming removed or said to be an exploit, yet a program is allowed to exploit (as what Kyro said)to use graphics bug (or something that is not suppose to be, the gap in the door) in conjuction with a program to kill people?
Leto, that also is a extremely unsmart comment. Computer or lack of a good system is one thing. Using a outside program to gain an advantage when a in game bug gave the same effect, but was consider an exploit, is so much different.
The point is its one guild’s commander. Whether or not its all of SoR or just 1 person. I assume that guild isn’t a tiny guild and this is a commander which is 2 huge things. Also you guys/girls coming in and defending that person for using, at best, shady tactics after all the we just want good fights talk from SoR, is pretty hilarious.
Like hell.
I have a late model system and a razer naga. You trying to tell me some poor schlub chugging along in a zerg fight at 4 fps and skill clicking has a chance against me? You saying thats fair? He has no chance, I’ll run circles around the poor guy. I see it all the time, usually a ranged toon trying to tab a target he can hit with no clue I’m standing at his knees about to burst him..
It’s no different than someone buying a triple monitor setup, I wont cuz I like the view my wife and I have of our backyard between our monitors. Heck, I don’t even have arrowcart mastery. But thats not the point, the point I’m making here is the ones that DO have this equipment deserve to use it. And the people complaining about it are basically setting the bar juuuuust above their own price range. This is the unpolishable kitten of the whole argument.

What you’re describing is called Pay-to-win, and it’s widely regarded as terrible design, both when intentionally implemented, and unintentionally implemented. Would you be fine with statistical buffs granted to players that purchase gems with real money? What if these buffs stacked the more you bought? Spending more money on a game is not a license for in-game advantages.
