Guild Wars 2

^^

Hehe, I know what you mean. When my team earlier broke in to YB Gar, wall, we all fell down. Haha. It was funny. I deleted the video I recorded >.<.

Also the time we tried to take YB via watergate, I was so angry when my friends made the battle sword come out. >3< But I guess it was my fault for not telling them to keep distance from the gate. >3<

I’m with Rezzet on this. I’m getting tired of losing to coverage, and having a 10k+pt lead to wake up with us losing. I’ve just about come to the conclusion that I’d rather sit in queue’s for 1-2hrs, and lose to better players, than lose because of server population.

imo, it’s not losing.

I was going to come in this morning and post how nice it was for me to read a thread in the forums that talked about how much fun everyone was having with a minimal emphasis on the score. The fact is, the scoring system is arbitrary and heavily weighted to NA servers that have the best overseas coverage. It doesn’t have a kitten thing to do with anything else. Doesn’t indicate in any way the quality of the players or the commanders. The high Tier teams have the best overseas coverage and therefore attract quene stalking NA prime time players who want to “win”. So, yes, if someone wants two hour quenes, zergy play, and a high score, that’s the place to be.

The new scoring methods hinted at in the summary of upcoming March changes will be interesting to see. How anything could compensate for an offshore imbalance is beyond me. Or, any imbalance in numerical strength in the field that follows a greater WvW population on a server for that matter.

So, anyway, my original post. I am so happy to see the fun that players have been having this week. It’s a win for all of us on SBI. This kind of play is a 1000 times more challenging and satisfying to play than what we had been subjected to for many months. Two thumbs up for the “pay to transfer” model that brought about this abrupt change.

My condolences to those who were caught unawares and left behind. Truly.

You guys know that many guilds left CD right? I’m sure we have the same number of people online if not you guys have more.

We know some guilds left CD however it wasn’t really your Oceanic/Euro guilds. You’re getting 600+ ticks right now while I am stuck at work.

until they get better servers that can handle 3 way fights at SM, I still prefer home borderlands fights. Not being able to use my utility skills is a joke

Pretty much this. Scoring system is arbitrary at best and broken at worst. Also there is no real reason to win, other than bragging right and satisfying egos. It seems that this week we got a group of servers where (after all the transfers out) the ego may not matter as much. That is refreshing.

Sure we are “winning” on CD, but honestly I had way more fun last night holding a supply camp (in one of the enemy borderlands) with 3 guildies and 2 people who joined us in the process for a couple of hours. Not many points, but lots of fun.

This. scores don’t really matter. Though they increase the tier status of a server, it’s the end goal of having experienced something with friends.

All servers have people who will laugh and dance on corpses.

I wrote a long reply arguing that those bonuses are already factored into the game stats, if the bonuses would be removed it would not act as subtracting those numbers but rather equalizing the numbers for every server in the match up. Then I argued that in an equilibrium state, for which this system is likely designed, the difference would be marginal.

But you know those details really do not matter. gw2 does not have much of a progression – achievements and different skins is what you are working for in end game… which is pretty much what FPS games do. So how are those bonuses making it an MMO and not an FPS?

Well that’s interesting. Glad to hear we won’t be thrown into T2 next week.

It is my opinion, and I’m fine having no rewards if I’m with my buddies. After all, I didn’t become friends with people; so I’ll be rewarded.

But I also respect your point of view, despite your sarcasm. You don’t have to agree with me. I just agree with the person who wrote that. Hence, my reply.

Fight club tonight in anyone’s BL?

SBI surprise attack. I was like. Can I has tower? SBI. NO!!!

I know I can’t claim to speak for the whole server, but I’d like to apologize on our behalf, regardless. Every community has a few egg heads, and some of them don’t run eggdrop on IRC…

Hey, you don’t have to apologise, it’s not your fault. Appreciate your effort to keep things cordial though

Well, this week has shown that having a strong Oceanic/Asian coverage has its advantage. I’ve seen how formidable Yaks & SBI can be when they have their main folks up, but the current scoring system appears to reward those who have better coverage around the clock. I hope Anet can do some tweaking to reward skill based achievements, i.e bonus points are given to how fast an objective is taken, or how long it is being defended from attacks. Imo Yaks are awesome at defending, while SBI is fast on taking objectives (my repair bill shows that T.T)

You know, I am still in a bit of a shock at the civility in this thread.

It is very common for a competitive thread between servers to turn ugly at the slightest notion of unsportsmanlike conduct or flaunting, and yet when something that would cause a multiple page spiral downwards to thread-locking…

People become humble and reasonably calm, no finger pointing especially at this tier…

So…what I am trying to say is…

I think SBI should drop. They do have a fighting chance at their prime time, but that prime window is just way way too small.

SBI and CD have been class acts this week. I haven’t seen much exploiting, and this is the first instance of corpse dancing that I’ve seen all week.

Keep it up, gents (and ladies).

DISC is not affiliated with the YB Alliance. We do our best to maintain a high level of sportsmanship, as our reputation is as great a commodity to us as our rating, if not more.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Heinel.6548:

Yeah we probably need to drop another tier or two. Even in primetime we have the outmanned buff most of the time. YB has a lot more primetime people than we do and CD, while having a slight primetime edge over us, has a significant overnight presence that we simply don’t. I’m assuming lower tiers mean smaller populations so hopefully we’ll settle in a spot where we can be competitive again.

That being said, we’ve had some really fun fights this week and even gotten into Stonemist a couple of times. If you judge success by the quality of your fights I’d say all of us are doing very well in this matchup. I think we all dodged a bullet with the ratings reset not being implemented, all three servers could have been in much worse situations next week so I’m happy to have a replay of this week’s match before our departure to the lower tiers.

As far as exploits go this one’s pretty tame though right? I mean, what can he really do there besides kill an afk person or two? I realize that’s not the point but if this is the worst thing that happens during our matchup I think we should all consider ourselves lucky.

You can’t even kill people there, as everyone in the citadel area has the invincibility buff. All you can do is run around until the guards kill you.

We can’t really say that we have a zero tolerance position on hacks and exploits if we start equivocating. I appreciate that it is a relatively tame exploit but, to me personally, it is more important to maintain standards within our server and thereby maintain our reputation with our opponents.

That way, the next time an issue like this comes up, we can expect to receive the benefit of the doubt and our opponents can rest assured that we will take care of it, instead of using it as a rallying point against us. (So it is not entirely an altruistic position to take, but in fact quite self-interested).

Completely understandable, I have a similar point of view. We’ve seen our fair share of questionable tactics during our stay in the higher tiers (on all sides). Luckily most of the people who tend to do those things gravitate towards the top-tiered servers.

I was just making the point that we’re relatively exploit free in this tier and that’s actually quite refreshing after what we’ve seen.

This has been in wvw since day 1. It is very easy to get in there if you know where to jump up the cliff. There have been many posts about it in numerous threads. I am really not sure if you can call it an exploit or hack. You cant really do any harm it is just an annoyance. The first time I saw it I thought the same hack exploit but it doesnt bother me now. Anet could change the terrain slightly if they wanted to. It is similar to getting into sw supply via the cliff side just an art of jumping. Avoid or kill the npcs and voila. Thats why it is usually thieves that do it as the avoid npcs easier. That is just my personal opinion and I have better things to do than waste time there.

It sucks to lose by coverage and number, rather than superior tactics. That is one of the downside of the current iteration of WvW. And believe me, it’s not THAT fun for me as well, as this is coming from one of the guys who voluntarily roams CD BL in the Asian nighttime (after work), upgrading stuffs, retaking what is ninja’ed (alone), and killing roamers and to be killed by them. It’s mindnumbingly boring, but I guess after a hard day work using my brain, I need that mindnumbingly boring job.

We had this when we were up against Kaineng. We had this when the mass exodus of IoJ —→ FA meant they stomped us, when the week before we stomped them (and, iirc, triggering the mass exodus on our side as well).

Just have to soldier on. Winning feels nice, but it also feels nice to bloody withstand wave after wave after wave of attacks on that keep from BOTH sides for hours end (especially if you end up winning, but if you lose… well they have cut your supplies and all, so it’s inevitable)

YB and SBI have been great, honourable opponents. Many funs were had when there’s a single roamer capping stuffs and I engage them, or I found out a group of 3 is circle-capping the camps and trying to find out who is on our BL at that time and trying to rally them without an icon (or frustrating? :P). Or withstanding waves of attack during our downtime/your primetime.

Way to stay classy Stormbluff. Super classy.

first-timer I take it.

welcome to WvW!

Every server has its own share of trolls. It’s unfair to brand the whole community same as those few black sheeps. i.e. CD has a few folks who shout for mesmer at EB JP, it doesn’t mean all non-mesmers are incapable of clearing JP on his own.

A few? Every time I do the JP on my mesmer it seems like half the server shows up and asks for a port! I port up people if they at least try to do the JP, but I absolutely hate it when people just go straight to the porting point just expecting a mesmer to get them up.

@ Stormbluff and Yak’s Bend:

This week has been a lot of fun, especially after the previous week against Kaineng. Capping camps, doing the JPs, and everything else has been a blast this week! It’ll be really sad when we part ways at the reset.

Way to stay classy Stormbluff. Super classy.

first-timer I take it.

welcome to WvW!

Every server has its own share of trolls. It’s unfair to brand the whole community same as those few black sheeps. i.e. CD has a few folks who shout for mesmer at EB JP, it doesn’t mean all non-mesmers are incapable of clearing JP on his own.

Unfortunately or fortunately, we might be fighting each other again but as different colors.

I think CD are pretty pumped next week to stomp this tier so they can go up and rematch FA.. but beware Yak’s reset night army of destruction :P

Yak needs more night time player we lost this week cuz everytime we go sleep bam map is taken until about 1-2 PM next day . now im seeing what a mistake it was changing server from CD lol.

lol, how did you not know this? We Benders have been honest and forthcoming about our lack of a night presence in every thread since forever.

:)

YB is a good server, though they’re not winning now, they’re formidable. This happened to be just that season to have difficulties in, like we CD had last week. Keep the faith.

I don’t have a faith issue Was just saying that you seem surprised that Benders are lacking in population overnight (oceanic presence). It’s been well known since forever that this issue is there.

I know I can’t claim to speak for the whole server, but I’d like to apologize on our behalf, regardless. Every community has a few egg heads, and some of them don’t run eggdrop on IRC…

I’ve never seen this behavior from the people I run with when I jump into WvW, but I don’t play often. I’m PvE+ or WvW-lite mostly. Of course, I’ve had my corpse danced on, laughed at, and had the repeated sit/jump animations done to me countless times from some of the tier1 servers we fought, so I definitely sympathize.

No need to apologize. I never should have posted that. I was just angry. We all have our off days. This has been the most civil matchup I’ve been in to date. I’ll go ahead and remove that post of mine. It was uncalled for in an otherwise extremely civil thread.

Um. No. You can go fight FA if you want.

They’re the antagonistic drama queens that love rubbing it in your face when you lose, and crying foul when you win.

I can’t blame server transferees because they have free will. I myself came from vabbi, then desolation, then crystal desert, then sea fearers, and back here to crystal desert.

It’s looking for a place that you fit in. And I seem to fit, mildly with the Crystal Desert people. Though, I’m still looking for more Filipino players here. ^,.,^

So, if ppl transfer or stay, it’s their choice. And if we fight difficult opponents, we can only stand by helping each other, and making sure we see what we did wrong, and how to do something that will give a favorable outcome.

p.s.

if you’re filipino, and a member of crystal desert, look me up.

I still remember the first few days of this matchup, YB basically looks like gona run away with around 15-20k lead, constantly throughout the day. And CD looks dead, mostly commanderless as lots of our experienced commanders left CD.

I told myself the past CD is gone, & the present CDers will have to start learning to step up to lead, start to guide those new to WvW and to sacrifice abit of sleep to influence those that have gave up fighting. I truely believe most present CD players are doing that, stepping up as commanders, sacrificing sleep, hence influencing the sleeping/demoralised community of CD.

Even at times where we are lesser in numbers, we never stop fighting, we rally all we could to hold on what we have. I believe in the same for YB and SBI too, just need awaken the giant within you. =)

Lastly I thank NAGA, all the CD commanders, WvW brothers and sisters, you guys were awesome, your sacrifices weren’t in vain, we fought back from 20k down!

Epic battle at YB Bay.

They were so many, and just 10 of us held as we invaded the lords room. >.< man that was scary.

YB were so fierce and relentles.

Fight club was good fun last night, respek to CD and SBI.

PS. I gotta find out who that Mesmer was that roflstomped me in like 10 seconds. I was stupid inebriated, but still, I have never been murdered like that before. Totally respect whoever that guy/girl was.

Hey I’m in that pic… and surprisingly, not dead yet! We only had a few of us there as well, so I think the feeling was fairly mutual on that fight

edit: I just realized you were targeting me xD I tried my hardest not to die, but I knew it was useless. I wasn’t about to give up though >>

As far as exploits go this one’s pretty tame though right? I mean, what can he really do there besides kill an afk person or two? I realize that’s not the point but if this is the worst thing that happens during our matchup I think we should all consider ourselves lucky.

You can’t even kill people there, as everyone in the citadel area has the invincibility buff. All you can do is run around until the guards kill you.

He would be able to see if we might be hiding golems there. He could also kill NPCs as well.

:3 All in a good day’s work

So the paid transfers thing worked? We’re playing serves with similar populations again? Yay!!!

Sorry been away from the game for two weeks.

Quoted for great justice!

Grats on a great game everybody! YB, you guys just don’t let up, we barely held our main castle in EB.
