Guild Wars 2

Ever since it came active, we have been rising in ranks quite firmly. According to gwscore 52% of our points have came from PPK which is no surprise because we have allways been known as a fighting server. That is a massive amount of points and the best thing we could ask for. So anet, do WvW a favour and keep PPK, its far more balanced then PPT.

Actually gw2 separates ppt and nont ppt. Not all non-ppt is from ppk. The non-ppt also includes sentries and finishers with bloodlust.

Non PPT also includes dolyak killing and successful dolyak escort.

Umm, no, not entirely. finishers during the trial period mean absolutely nothing. Kills are kills and you get one point. blood lust simply adds a stat boost to the server.

And you can see the general difference by comparing Non PPT from before the trial till now.

Bloodlust gives 1 point on stomp. In adittion to PPK giving 1 point on kill (no matter how). And killing Dolyak gives 1 point.

Edit: and claiming Sentry gives 1 point

I don’t know if there are anything else that gives Points ? Didn’t know dolyak escort did, that would be pretty nice if it did.

PPK was the only thing that kept my server (Blackgate) competitive in terms of points last matchup. I’d love for it to stay.

Other sources of points (sentry and yak kills) are fairly constant with the other servers so it’s only kills keeping us competitive :p

I like getting rewarded for killing zergs

PPK had lead to the old AC’s everywhere.

OK yes they were everywhere before, but now there are almost 3 times the number of ACs in towers and keeps.

Time to nerf ACs??

ac’s should have been nerfed a long time ago, when I see open field siege, I die a little inside

JQ came out leading the weekend, the first week PPK was implemented and JQ never leads from the weekend. That was a direct result of PPK.

BG has been playing catch up ever since.

It’s noticeable in the lower tiers too. Ring of Fire can field a pretty good number of players in the prime time and we have a few talented commanders willing to lead the pugs.

I would say that PPK is one of two things holding our score close this week. We also have a pretty good night defense/capping team although this week they’re mostly playing defense.

PPK resulted in the closest NA T1 matchup I have ever seen, or at least that I can remember. It was a fight all the way up until reset (at least a few hours before.)

The smell of the changing winds…

you get 1 point for kill and 1 for finishing.

Please don’t make PPK a random addition, it really needs to be permanent. It’s helped so much, and makes fights more exciting/rewarding.

I love PPK and really hope it stays. It’s very satisfying for players that take the time to build and play correctly in outnumbered fights to see that their effort wasn’t wasted in a points sense.

Quite like to see white swords back though. Their removal has made WvW rather hollow.

I think all 3 servers were pulling OT during that match haha. BG really hit hard and so did TC and they both closed the gaps by Thursday. (Actually by EU Thursday, BG was above JQ and TC was right near JQ…though BG/TC/JQ were all seeming to pull OT.)
It was a really great match and fun too!
(The deciding factors really didn’t hit to where all could relax as match was set, until reset night 3hours prior to reset.)

I agree that PPK is a great addition and should be made permanent. (It’s especially nice since your server score is what generates the World Bonuses for your server. PPK allows all three servers to gain points even when they’re lacking in PPT, which gives boosts to all players on your server.)

I’m not as thrilled about the lack of white swords though. I’d rather those be brought back.
