Guild Wars 2

Later Maguuma guys. May Kormir be with you, and only you. Always.

As a parting gift for the interesting week, we would like to present you with our most special commander: Daish. May he do for you, what he did for us.

No thanks, we already have a commander that leads us off cliffs. He doesn’t speak in third person, either.

You’re misinterpreting my point and I suppose I should have been more clear. At the time of this post, I was already done with this week’s matchup. I was simply making a statement for future contests. The math is simple.

let’s say just to make the math easy,
World A: +500
World B: +250
World C: +150

Now don’t get picky with “well that’s not the correct total number of points in a WvW match…” yes Im aware…

So let’s say you do target the lower server rather than the winning server, and you cap all their stuff. the points would look like this:

A: +500
B: +400
C: +0

Now there’s still a 100 point difference in point gain per tick. You’re still losing and now you have to be concerned about not only taking points from World A: but you are FOR SURE gonna be getting attacked by both A and C meaning that you have honestly no hope of catching up in the first place.

Now let’s assume that you decide to not make World C your priority and focus your efforts on A. We can say that World B takes 75 points from World A and World C takes 50 points. The new total looks like this:

World A: 375
World B: 325
World C: 200

Now the gap at which you’re losing to A is only a 50 point gain, that’s half what it was if you wiped out C. Now obviously you’re gonna have conflict between B and C yes… but it can’t be a focus on either of the two. Also, this isn’t something that you will see a whole lot of in undisciplined servers but I’ve seen matchups already that have proven that this not only works, but has allowed servers in both 2nd place or 3rd to come back to win for the week. We lost to BG just last week after having something like a 100k-150k point lead and still lost it cause we were just losing too many of our points and still having to fight off two servers. Like I said the evidence is in the math. Obviously it’s a bit more complicated and harder to implement but it just comes down to how disciplined your server is in WvW. I know it’s something DB needs to work on for sure lol. But when I made my statement it was more of a generalization not me getting upset cause we’re losing this week and I wanted you to go focus somebody else than us. Not at all my intentions lol, I could care less that we lost. We knew it was a loss going into the matchup hahaha.

Anyways, Im excited for the reset today, can’t wait to get out there with a fresh scoreboard.

PS: i was trying to quote somebody but for the life of me I couldn’t figure out how to do it :/ all well.
