The question needs to be asked, “Is JQ truly a North American server?”
Maybe WvW needs to be restricted to say 6:00 a.m. – midnight Pacific.
That’s 18 hours of potential game play and 6 hours to rest.
If this is inconvenient for players outside the North American time zones, then their own regional servers would be available.
This is actually the only viable solution. WvW should really be restricted to 16-18 hours of play, based US or EU sets of servers. It has its problems but I think that overall it would help make WvW better.
For instance, it would immediately make a number of servers much more competitive.
This kind of suggestion is rude to players from other time zones. Anet clearly stated that no player time is valuable than other.
Not rude at all. Just a simple solution to a problem that was probably not anticipated and needs to be addressed. Or why even bother having European and North American servers.
Maybe that’s the solution. Just have universal servers. Or have universal. North American. And European. But they way it’s working now is beyond rude to North American players. Way beyond rude.

Screw you and anyone else that thinks this is a good idea.
The self entitlement you people have, just because you don’t have coverage when you are asleep, is offensive.
I live in Ohio but I have played during all hours of the day and night. At the moment, I’ve been playing more day and evening but if my job changes hours, I could end up with only night time as free time to play and you people want to lock me out.
Not only is it offensive to me, but it is also offensive to other players in other time zones that also payed for this game, especially since there are only EU and NA servers. There will be a coverage gap somewhere and any limitation is going to screw other players.
You can just shove that limitation idea.
Even though SoS doesn’t have a chance at any kind of win against JQ with how covered JQ is, I would still rather see it like it is than limit any players just because they live in a different part of the world.
I speak for my self and no one else. Only fools believe they speak for a majority.

The reason behind MMO’s rarely if ever having an oceanic server is that the population density does not make it financially viable in a lot of cases. What you’re basically asking for is a pseudo region lock on oceanic players because you’re upset about them having a different primetime. To top it off you claim that it’s “rude” to the server locations to allow people in these regions to have access to wvw during a time slot that you find difficult to cover due to your location. You believe it’s not “rude” to said oceanics that you basically believe that their time shouldn’t have an impact on a game mode that has been specifically stated to be intended to be a 24 hour battlefield.

How is it rude to NA players, but not completely out of line and rude to Oceanic/SEA players? That just doesn’t even make sense. You are ‘night capping’ them, by the way, so what if they suggested that you not be able to achieve the same ppt during their resting time? Do you see how that works?
Over on JQ, we do not have the numbers to compete with the oceanic prime time numbers of SoS, but suggesting that they be unable to play during their prime time, while I get to play in mine is absolute rubbish.
Ugh, I can’t believe we’re still having this same stupid nightcapping argument. Get coverage, or work around it to the best of your ability.

It’s not rude at all, it’s 24/7 RvR. In the idea you proposed you are alienating people that work split-shifts, graveyard shifts and everything in between, not to mention Oceanics that are working on odd schedules also. Which is why ANet will not accommodate 9-5 NA and quite rightly so.
Then set up some system whereby populations from areas outside a server’s region are balanced out among all the servers or population capped or integrated into a regions’s servers in some kind of balance that prevents the one-sided kind of rudeness (for lack of a better term) that is currently occurring.

How is it rude? No one’s time is more important than someone elses. There was 4-5 months of Free transfers where you could have recruited to fill the gaps you have. Sorry you didn’t recruit well enough to get the coverage but arguements like this might have contributed to the current situation you find yourself in.

I don’t mean to sound ‘rude’, but SoR has been in Tier 1 for 2 weeks and is already feeling burnt out by the 24/7 action of Tier 1? I’m sorry, but we’ve all been working our hats off for over 2 months now, both JQ and SoS. Please just deal with it.
Before you say anything about the server I’m on, I’m from SoS, and I know that JQ has better coverage than us now, but that’s how the game is. I love WvW and some you win, and some you lose.

SOR has been here for 1 week, jusy FYI. Well, technically. 6 and a bit days?
Kudos to SoR this week, you guys come out guns blazing. 2nd part of the week is a different story but that’s the name of the game.
In all seriousness it’s been a great week and I want the SoR community to rally and come out fighting again. Don’t get a hit in the face like others servers have and just give up.

The implication that I am suggestion anyone’s time is more valuable than anyone else’s is a vile canard.
What happens over night on North American servers has nothing to do with game play, gearing, strategy, etc. It has everything to do with a geographical anomaly that needs to be addressed.
fwiw, i myself am, i guess, Oceanic (from Hong Kong here). so you’re saying because SoR’s main forces are supposedly NA prime, then i have to get locked out of playing with a lot of friends that i’ve been blessed and honored enough to make throughout the course of being on SoR? on the weekends, i’ll be playing any time of day as well.
as i mentioned before, last night, we were outmanned on all maps. a handful of us made do with what we could. and i still had a ton of fun. obviously i wish i could do more for my server but we make do with what we had. and the 5 – 6 of us making runs here and there, not once complained about being outmanned or not having enough people. we just played the game to our best ability.
[added: don’t take the above as being complacent either. i won’t let the numbers get me down, but i am competitive and do like to win. i think your posts just came off the wrong way. to a certain extent, i agree that if there was more balance can be beneficial, however, timezones are something that cannot be as easily addressed as just shutting certain time periods out]

So any guild that plays while your asleep is inferior to you? That is quite offensive to a large number of players. Considering FOO and some of the Oceanics/SEA’s I have fought with and against have some of the best players I’ve ever faced.

Remember this. You may not have said it directly but there’s no other way to read this without the suggestion of NA players times being more valuable than anyone else’s. You may have worded it in a way other than you intended to imply but that’s the wording that everyone picks up on.

Also this is something that is entirely out of ANet’s control without them forcing players to move with little regard to what the players think. This is why we never let accountants control company decisions, they only see statistics.

There is an imbalance. Everyone seems to acknowledge it. It impacts the game in ways I doubt were intended. So fix it.

Read your highlighted statement. Read it again. Now please stop saying I need help when you can’t interpret things.
This issue about the value of people’s time is a canard. Plain and simple. It’s not about the value of people’s time. That’s just a diversion from the larger issue that populations from different regions, which by virtue of there being servers divided into two regions Anet acknowledges, need to be better balanced across all the servers in the region, just like Anet doesn’t allow all the North American players on just one or two servers.
There have been some great fights out there this week, and I am thankful for every one of them. Keep bringing the numbers. You are only making us stronger.

Was SoR really ticking at 0 at one point lol? I don’t get where those supposed 1500 oceanic’s that transferred over are? To be honest I haven’t seen one of those guilds running with any sort of numbers this week and I am up at all hours of the night.
They’ve been here, Smokyz. Its just when you NA people sleep, and us NA insomniacs stay up late to play with them. NYS and HIRE field some really good numbers when they can, HIRE and CDS was running two teams of 30+ on SoR one night and rocking it out! Its the EU time that JQ rears its head and eats us whole…they dont even chew us slowly…its so cruel..

We are here! We’ve been trying to to play on most nights, It has been really fun tbh. Linking up with [CDS] has been great too
Right back at you bro! Its been an absolute blast from going to 4 week old enemies to allies and fighting tooth and nail alongside each other and joking in teamspeak 3! Great to be on the same side after all those fights in T2 HIRE

Not to be a smart kitten or anything but wouldn’t us chewing slowly hurt more? It would be like drawing out a death for someone which I would assume would be much more painful than just having a quick and painless end.

strange. i was just thinking that. quick, relatively painless death >>> slow, torturing death that may or may not end in death. who knows.
though in the grand scheme of things, if they were to chew slowly, then our main forces can take things back quicker! >:DDD
now i need to get off work ASAP so i can get on! happy friday all!
p.s. 3 day holiday coming up over here ; )) so expect to see a lot of me in the BL’s.

Well done in SoR Borderlands SoS. We tried to hold you off as long as we could but I think we lost the psychological battle in the end. By the time you took Garrison we had about 7 defenders.

No wait, I have a better solution for them. Get outta Tier 1 and go to a lower tier where there isn’t as many oceanics. That solution will suite your all mighty NA Tmz or your irelivant arugement since they won’t have the OC presence you seem to so detest!

The trouble is you are fixated on “regional servers” when in fact the only reason Anet ended up with “EU” and “NA” servers is due to licensing and commerical reasons. I am sure that without those considerations we would have just ended up with a bunch of servers without any preconceptions regarding region. To use your vernacular, the regional servers are the real canard here -they only exist for non game reasons.
WvWvW is 24×7, all players can potentially join any server, thats the reality, either deal with it or not as you see fit.
Wow. As soon as there was no reset mentioned. SoS came back with a vengeance. Too bad it’s too little, too late for this week’s match up.
Or maybe JQ knows they’ve already won err.
Could be that too.
Yeah, it appears to be… I hate it when you get that kind of lead so everyone goes on cruise control and coasts to the finish… makes it tough to enjoy the maps for a couple days. But then again, you can’t blame people either. It’s nice to catch your breath and take a little break from WvW knowing that you can do so without worrying about hurting your server.
Waking up to a 500 tick from SoS? This is the Sea of Sorrows I know. Well played!
/Some witty troll remarks to fit this post in the topic.
-SoS has waay to much coverage, they’re stacked, that screenshot of that 1 score prooves it-
-Oceanic should be excluded so only Elite NA players can participate in WvW-
/troll lololo
Okay. Theres two things i saw the last 24 hours, and those two things made me a happy person.
1) SoR put up a mjor offensive trying to get SoS off of that 2nd place. This shows they have both the manpower and the skill on weekdays to be competitive. Very promising for next week.
2) SoS oceanics are back. It’s good to see that the oceanic spirit of SoS isn’t broken by far. The complete capture of 3 borderlands is a very impressive thing to do. /hats off
If these 2 trends will continue during the next matchup, then the fights will become even more intense and exciting than they were this week.
I hope to encounter both forces on the field soon.
Also shout out to SoR as they prooved themselves to be a very good addition to T1 and making the game very enjoyable.
Don’t forget… last night was drunken, naked PvP night for my guild as well. So if you thought that group running around borderlands may have looked a bit… odd… well, there you go.

I saw one naked guy.. the rest must have been unrendered lol.
was roaming for about 5 hours tonight with a assault squad. Not many small skirmishes to be had during oceanic prime.. we kept running into JQ and SOS Trains.. got maybe 5 good small scale fights all night and about 20 badges. I wish there was more to do for smaller groups, I prefer brawling over culling wars.
No such thing as naked PvP in GW2. Everyone is a Nevernude.
There are some great fights during NA primetime. The SoS and JQ servers are both very skilled and very fun opponents to play against.
The problem is the same its always been for SoR. We don’t have coverage. It’s not like every night we have 80 invisible thieves refusing to fight you guys. It’s that we have to consolidate ALL our WvW players to one map and then hold 1 keep. That’s all we can afford to do with literally 30 guys across ALL maps.
We really did recruit, no lie. There were oceanics and asians and all manner of folks screaming how they’d watch our backs… I don’t know if they quit or xfered again or???
Anyways, I guess I’ll just enjoy the fights we do get and not look at a scoreboard.
Ran around in JQ BL last night with TW/TWL. The best WvW I have ever done, thanks to TW and SoS/JQ for providing some great fighting, it was an absolute blast.

SoR only 3K away from SoS! We’re making a giant push!
sigh. SoR are becoming the new JQ… happy with just being in T1 and not winning.
/edit – before you jump down my throat someone said it on the SoS BL’s earlier today about SoS and SoR which I agree “we are both fighting against each other to be the best loser”
think about it.
Are you really complaining about SoR fighting you? Let me clue you in, we don’t just fight you, we fight JQ as well. In fact, we spent most of our time last night in JQ fighting JQ. We would have been able to do a better job of it if SoS hadn’t kept interfering and forcing us to pull off of our garrison attempts.
Using your logic, why are you guys fighting for second place and being the best loser?

I remeber SoR BL we treb JQ Hills from stargrove… Everything is going good. here come SoS Kills us and destroys our trebs. Don’t know what tactical advantage that gave SoS. On our BL hitting JQ. Interfering with us. That is playing for second. Sure its a 3 way fight. Not QQ here just making example of counter productiveness of SoS.
JQ was winning you guys sabotage us for no reason at all. Dont QQ you have no room to QQ.
