Guild Wars 2

Piken Square ranked 3rd…………….Is the Euro servers that bad? :/

I don’ know why you’re laughing, they’re higher ranked than us, and by what you just said we are “that bad”

We have been matched against T1 servers a couple of times now. I would guess that even if we have lost those matchups, we have done well enough to gain rank.

But yeah, our med pop server is trumping some of the high/full servers. Maybe it’s time for you to up your game instead of coming here to laugh?

Medium population = cheap transfers.

I know that Melenya [MyA] moved to Piken Square, but I guess a lot of other guilds have also moved to Piken Square in past 3-4 months. I also heard that you got some night capping team. Of course your rating goes up if you got more WvWvW players and also getting matched up against higher ranked server generally rises your ranking (while getting matched against much lower rated opponents lowers your rating).

Desolation lost over 1500 dedicated hard core WvWvW players in the Spring 2013 mass exodus. SO many got burned out to fight against Vizunah Square, 6 months in a row. Forsaken Gamers [FG] came back to Desolation from Piken, but that is the only major guild transfer we have got in 6 months. Now when have been facing Vizunah Square and SFR in match up we have been outnumbered 90% of the time. In fact in our recent match up against Gandara (rank 14 then) and Abaddon’s Mouth (rank 11 then), we have also been enjoying the outnumbered “buff”. The buff doesn’t lie, it just shows we have relatively low amount of players big part of the day. I am not denying that the opponents wouldn’t also have skill e.g. SNCD from Riverside is very good.

Note that Underworld is also a very high population server. And their predicted ranking is 17. The server population in EU doesn’t correlate well with the WvWvW player population.

One other reason is the Arenanet dev team. It seems the WvWvW part of the game is not given proper resources. All the changes and buffs to the siege weapons did nothing, than just alienate huge part of the player base. The next dying breed are the solo roamers.

Sir Koroshi, the most followed Desolation streamer besides Tinker Teldo, recently published a farewell video. Xeph from Team Paradigm, an exceptional Desolation tpvp guild, also resigned. I am also thinking to quit this game, because honestly all the planned changes: deletion of the lake, bloodlust on borderlands, gaining points from stomping, league system etc. sound really bad for this game and solo roaming on an outnumbered server.

Spvp/tpvp balance has been horrible for many months. More spam and even more spam. Yet Arenanet plans to further buff professions, like warrior, which don’t need buffing at the moment. Talk about serious power creep and this game is just 1 years old. It is so to see such a great game, with amazing visuals and audio, good pve stories go down the toilet by incompetent game design choices and totally ignoring the good solid advice of their hard core player base.

I am not laughing.

I see more commander tags in Deso Lion Arch than all of the maps of WvW these days.

Well I rest my case. You have all the people and commanders to do it. They just choose not to do WvW.

Piken Square will drop back to positions 5-7 pretty soon. Apparently last match-up Seafarer’s Rest had some internal drama and hence Piken Square gained so much points.

+1 to everything you have said good sir. My guild transferred from Underworld to Piken, now we find that we’re facing huge, huge numbers and are vastly underpowered. The game itself is breaking by the seams. The teams don’t know what direction to take. A huge amount of players have posted about the orb debug not coming back until it was changed, they were ignored.

Wrong direction in almost every sense. I feel my time is limited in this game.

No your not, you always come last every match up i look at, and we beat you, and were crap compared to what we were

Desolation apparently is, dunno about the rest.

Topic title shold have been ‘Desolation trololol’ honestly, since in every post in the last 2 months Deso kitten Champions have been boasting “here we come Vizunah! muahahha!” and now they rank #6 close to be downgraded to #7.

Meanwhile most Piken WvWers don’t give a kitten’s behind about ranks and points…

While your last comment might have been true the first 1-2 months of the game it quickly changed and for a 10 months the wvw “meta” is so far that you can only go up in rankings if you have either a) a massive massive night force or b) a decent night force and a massive massive day (not necessarily prime time!) force.

I’m perfectly aware that as of now coverage beats everything else. That’s why many Piken guilds/players don’t care about points, their server being Medium Pop. with no chance to field T1 numbers.

I myself would gladly trade places with Deso at rank #6. I’ve never been a fan of 2h long queues and being rotofarmed by blobs while being hopelessly stuck with skill lag.

My point was you got enough people who care else you wouldn’t be where you are in ranking.

Maybe :P or maybe some guilds tranfered to PS while other servers’ blob commanders took a vacation or had an urgent colonoscopy…

TBH though I was laughing at the troller who started this useless post.

The whole “here we come vizunah” “we are going to take your spot vizunah” came from a few select players from a specific guild. Their way of beating vizunah was a pitiful attempt at beating them at their own game; PVD. Please, don’t judge the entire server off of a few deluded people who think they can beat the rank 1 server whilst losing to riverside.
TL;DR A lot of deso players don’t care too much about the points either, it’s just one very vocal and deluded group.

the thing that makes the most difference in wvw is guilds moving servers and we’ve certainly had a number of guild transfers in recent weeks.

Ofc I know most of Deso players are nice guys.

I’m just having fun watching some Forum Boasting Wannabes who have to complete their daily “How am I going to embarass myself today on the forums?” achievement.

;D

Still can’t see the point for this thread tho. :?

And yet the ranks don’t lie, do they?

Or are you coming up with some kind of conspiracy theory about Piken being secretly favored by the devs or smth?
