Guild Wars 2

I’m on Crystal Desert, and I’ve been stuck at 99% of world completion for weeks now. The only thing I’m missing is a few points on the red borderlands, but every time I’ve checked for the past month or so we’ve been either blue or green team. It should go in a fair rotation so that players can get access to all three zones in a reasonable manner but for some reason it’s been off lately. Now that you guys are aware, I really hope that we can get assigned to the red borderlands next week, for Christmas.

Get your guild to take what you need in FA BL. Or transfer to FA for a week. I don’t think they will ever change the Green>Blue>Red system.

Assuming CD continues to play at their current level, you guys will be blue for a while.

If we’re green some weeks, and blue others, then why wouldn’t we be red sometimes too? I don’t have a guild, and don’t want one, nor do I want to change servers for any reason, that’s just wishy-washy behavior. You shouldn’t have to go outside the system just to get world completion. If they’re going to make WvW objectives part of world completion then they need to give individual players the tools to achieve them.

That’s the way the system is. It’s not like there is nothing you can do about it – you can coordinate with a guild big enough to push for the points you need (you know, WvW to get the WvW points?), you can just be more active in WvW and hope that you happen to be around when your server makes a good push on the map you need, or you can change servers if you insist on not WvWing for the damn WvW points.

It’s nobody’s problem if you don’t want to do any of the above. Stop being so entitled, it’s not like every other person who got their world completion didn’t have your problem.

But the fact that it is a problem is why I’m here. It shouldn’t be a problem. ANet can fix this so that it isn’t a problem by just making sure that the rotations are fair, Green→Blue→Red, as well as they can manage that, with no more than four weeks without seeing one of each color.

I do a little WvW, but only to get world completion and enough kills for the monthly, and that’s really more than I’d care to do. I’ve been trying to wrap up the red borderlands for several weeks now, and I’d like to be done with it, but we’ve always been blue or green, and the closest I’ve seen to a red borderlands takeover is like half the left hand side. By the end of last week, the entire place was green!

I believe there are balance reasons behind the G→B→R rotation. Green has the worst keep and is given to the top ranked server, Red has the best keep and is given to the lowest ranked server. There are other asymmetries as well.

I do feel for CD’s situation because you guys are doing too well to be red in T3, not well enough to become red in T2 and will definitely not be red in T4 no matter how poorly you do. TC (green) has so much presence that CD is unlikely to outpush TC on red BL even when they do try. I believe last week (during TC’s massive push into FABL after the Dolyak event) there was actually one CD who spoke to some of our leaders and was allowed into the FA hills keep relatively unscathed for the POI… if all else fails you could try to PM some of the more prominent leaders on TC and see if something can be arranged, I guess? I won’t bank on it though.

Also, some of the POIs can actually be accessed without owning the place (I think some of the Northern towers).

Last thing before reset I commandeered a Zerg to take over a fully upgraded Garrison on the Red map in our matchup for my love to get his last Vista. Which gave him world completion.

Booyah. Anything is possible

First place > green
Second > blue
Third > red

you want to be red? lose.

Green is the highest rated server of the tier. Blue is the second highest. You guys were the highest rated server in Tier 4 and won your match by enough points to skip over Yak’s Bend (third of Tier 3) and Fort Aspenwood (second of Tier 3) in rating making you guys the second highest in Tier 3. CD and FA will not be switching places for the next match.

If you’re not going to put the effort in getting people to invade FA BL, then your only option is to transfer to a red server. You can simply transfer back after 7 days.

First place > green
Second > blue

So basically, they’ve set up the system so it would be in my best interests to try and sabotage my own team? Brilliant design.

I couldn’t give two flying kittens what our “ranking” is, all I want is to be able to complete the objectives the game gives me. I would like nothing better than to never have anything to do with WvW again, but the game requires that I clear each WvW zone to get world completion, it requires that I get 50 WvW kills per month, and it requires that I get 500 WvW badges whenever I get around to taking a Legendary seriously (thousands in total if I ever want to equip all my characters). So long as the game keeps forcing players with no interest in WvW to play it anyway, the design should be much more accommodating of such players, and not require that they have massive armies backing them.

If you’re not going to put the effort in getting people to invade FA BL, then your only option is to transfer to a red server. You can simply transfer back after 7 days.

I’ve been on CD since day one. I will stay on CD until the server shuts down. I think it’s ridiculous how some people just change servers willy-nilly. That should not be a common game practice, and they should have implemented the paid/restricted server transfer system months ago. You should not have to change servers to accomplish core game objectives, all objectives should be completable on the server you belong to.

Also, I’m willing to put forth any reasonable amount of effort to “invade FA borderlands,” but what I have experienced of WvW tells me that my thief banging her head against the Garrison gates is not likely to get me in any time soon. The entire issue here is that NO amount of individual skill or effort makes it capable of achieving these objectives, you’d need dozens of well coordinated associates to get anything worthwhile accomplished.
