Guild Wars 2

Bllade.1029:

We’ll let you guys know whats in the winning season chest. Chances are, knowing arena net it’ll be a couple of greens, a rare, 1 gold and the oh so awesome dolyak limited use finisher.

Huge.

I have ZERO expectation that the first place chest will be any better than a maw chest.

I just hope the doly finisher is as funny as hell. dropping a dolyak from outer space on some poor sap should be the funniest thing ever seen in GW

I bet it’s going to be a trophy like you see in real world sports, cept of a dolyak, colored based on your performance (e.g. since I’m from Darkhaven we’ll get silver, teehehehe).

Edit: Note, I’m talking about the finisher :p.

I better get this trophy mailed to my house. And an interview onANET WvW

NSP and IoJ shall rejoin you all soon <3

Yeah we hear its been kinda rough on NSP/IoJ. Its a good deal for you guys, bronze is an awesome league. clearly much better then silver which just seems totally broke.

but there is a dividing line in bronze, I think the 4-league season is a better choice. CD, NSP, IoJ, HoD, DH, SF would be a nice league for season 2. Fun for us while letting the lower 6 servers not have the current top 3 around.

We look forward to NSP and IoJ getting drop-kicked back down to us – NSP/HoD/DH like the old days

What you said. I think a fourth league should be added just as you outlined. That would be much for fun for both groups. I am sure the very lower tier servers like an ET will draw much better numbers if they were much more evenly matched.

Sad thing is even if those servers get thrown with CD. I think CD would dominate it. They have a time slot none of the other bronze servers have. And it’s hard to close the gap with the population they have during SEA. It’s certainly manageable of you 2v1 them as CD relies of fair weathers a lot. But I feel like most bronze guys despise each other in one way or another and a 2v1 would be very hard to pull off.

yeah, I agree about CD. the last time we played them it wasnt even a match we got smoked so bad.

but if you create the 4th league by taking the lowest tier of silver and the upper tier of bronze then CD comes out on top. someone has to be 3rd crappiest in silver and CD gets it.

Given a fair schedule (where everyone fights everyone twice, or everyone fights everyone 3 times, and there are no irregularities like in this season) then it still sounds like a fun league. CD wins, everyone gets an equal spanking, but the rest of the league would be competitive and alot of fun.

The fact that ANET cant create a competitive league of any 6 servers hints that something needs to be fixed.

> But I feel like most bronze guys despise each other in one way or another and a 2v1 would be very hard to pull off.

I dont see bronze league servers despising others enough to double team to the point where they are willing to take 3rd. As a credit to the players in Bronze, nobody wants to be last in a match, so someones gettin backstabbed and lootbags are gettin snatched.

I still stand by my statement – i dont see servers in bronze willing to take 3rd just to shove someone to second.

and no, ET dosent count!

Server X: Hey ET, lets 2v1 Server Y and deny them first in the match.
ET: That sounds neat-o, we despise Server Y so much!
Server X: Yeah we despise them too.
ET: Do you have a plan?
Server X: Yup, we double team them all week and push them into second place.
ET: Thats a keen plan! Sounds complicated tho.
Server X: Theres one thing, key to this plan is you have to come in 3rd while we take first.
ET: Whats the catch?!

We’ll sort out this silly DH and HoD business. If we can’t take out their fair weather snowball they’ll have to fight CD. And that’ll just completely destroy morale for them. Would rather have a fun close match up than that

HoD had a lot of upper-tier and coverage xfers thanks to the 800gem price tag (1000 now) they had pre-season. They might even compete with CD, though they are still a ways from breaking the top 10. I would bet on HoD before CD.

CD is badly beating NSP and IoJ. HOD may possibly be a bit stronger than those servers, but if they are its not by much. CD would beat HOD pretty good as of this moment. Things are always changing though.

Its just leagues affecting our pop.. Atm NSP is pulling out some crazy numbers. IoJ has things in planning for after leagues but still missing a lot of our pop cause its still “Leagues” and all. I think either of us would still beat HoD fairly well due to simply coverage if nothing else. Oh well we’ll see soon enough as is xD

Judging of how lucky we are, I’m sure the first matchup after leagues for ET will be somenthing like ET/(Insert a high ranked silver league server here)/(insert another poor ranked bronze league server here)

Either that or Kaineng to replace one of the 3. AR/DR/Kain is problably much more balanced tho, as ET is aparently the weaker of the 4.

Im not really sure how strong Kain is, we only faced them once and I dont remember seeing much of them. Likely it was a blowout and we had others to handle.

You can expect leagues won’t be happening again for quite some time. There are no leagues at the end of this week, so nothing deliberate if that’s what you’re implying. If you’re laughing about the circumstance of being placed in the league with the widest population gap and losing our two largest NA guilds the day before, yes, lolz. See you soon.

I personally look forward to a NSP/IoJ/HoD match. I think that would be an absolute dream match.

And [Mend], if you guys haven’t gotten kicked out of IoJ yet. We’ll see you soon.

ROFL. Please kick [Mend]’s butt again and youtube it. The video right after they transferred to IoJ was delicious. Moar fireworks!

I joined Mend on IoJ. Not gonna say anything about us or VLK/HoD/ET. Would rather personally face you guys on Neutral Terms in my mind and decide then. I will say Mend is no longer a defensive guild. Open field fights are a new foray of ours.

Guise, VLK is so big they are their own server now.

ET and Mend have history. Anyway, we’re not likely to meet again unless rng is really harsh.

True enough, Regardless we were all being so nice and cuddly til someone mentioned Mend :p Let just ignore guilds until the match up threads lmao xD

Is anybody else surprised by the DH/SF matchup this week? Some points

1) SF beat DH in their first match http://mos.millenium.org/servers/view/45/115

2) HoD beat DH in their first match by about 65k http://mos.millenium.org/servers/view/28/119

3) HoD beat SF in their first match by only about 50k (and subjectively it really was our toughest fight) http://mos.millenium.org/servers/view/28/121

I was expecting SF to beat DH. But as of right now DH has a healthy lead. What’s going on? Is DH just hungrier?

DH is stronger and SF is weaker.

DH beat FC by 2k in week 2, then by 55k in week 5.

SF beat KN by 129k in week 2, then by only 70k in week 6.

Neither FC or KN has really changed in population

Math doesn’t apply to this game guys… Trust me, I’m a math teacher…

Most of the achievement hunters have finished their rewards and left, so previous scores and population assumptions are pretty meaningless.

You can waste as much time as you like arguing what reasoning is meaningful or not, but you cannot look at the score and then try to argue this point.
