Guild Wars Vet since 05
multi-class all game modes
(edited by J envy.5270)
I’m from NA T1 and been so for more than a year, its the same 3 servers every week, ok so SOR went from Tier1 to T8 and TC got bumped to T1 but thats about the only change for a year.
Do you ever get tired of facing the same people, have you ever wondered how good those EU worlds are in wvw? You might say oooooo it will come down to which server has more coverage, this and that…..how about just to find out if there guilds/militia are better than yours, or how different they approach the game, or how there tactics differ from yours.
Nothing new came out of wvw since EOTM came out last february, o ok maybe some may count the WvW seasons too, but thats about it.
Just the thought of NA servers fighting EU servers for a change would be fun…..I know PEAK hours for those servers will be different but if they really wanted to fight each other they will show up, even in just on weekends or on their day offs.
Imagine WVW Season 4, Gold League = top 3 NA servers and top 3 EU servers fighting for who is the best (cough cough PPT~hopefully not) wvw server(hopefully fights and not just coverage) in the whole game, i don’t know about you but that gets me excited just the thought of it, well i thought about it about a half a year ago, I’M SURE IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN FOR VARIOUS REASONS but one can wish.

There would be a lot of PvD from both sides.
There are unfortunately server issues. Same reason we can’t play MegaServer between EU/NA.
There are some interesting possibilities with playing together with NA/EU servers, and one option often mentioned is teaming up 2 servers, one from each region in an alliance system per match-up. That could really help a lot of servers coverage. Wish that was possible.
yeh i thought that there would be various reasons that it wouldnt work, but just the idea of it happening is too much to pass off. When there is a WILL, there is a WAY.
The lag would be ungodly.
There no real way of doing it its just a limitation of our tech. level the more spaces apart things the more lag.
I main on JQ but have a 2nd account I play on during EU time on SFR. Lag is rarely a problem and even then its only noticeable for a split second and 9 times out of 10 wont affect your play.
The problem with EU vs NA matchups is that in many ways NA has a huge advantage over EU, especially for T1 servers. Reset can’t happen during EUs normal time because NA is all at work and it can’t happen at NAs normal time because EU is all asleep. Splitting the difference cuts off a lot of EU prime time and leaves all of NA prime time. In a lot of the matchups you would have EU steam roll through their prime time, but that would be followed up by NAs primetime which would steamroll EU servers and the NA servers would tick high for extra time since theres such a huge gap between when NA ends and EU time begins and that doesn’t even account for the fact that there are many more OCX/SEA players on NA servers that would just pvdoor to victory.
Yea network lag isn’t much of a problem but ever since the Winterday patches something weird has been going on. I get really bad server lag and disconnects, like 25sec of no response from the server all the while 180ms avg ping time.
But yea NA T1-3 servers are nothing like EU T1-3 servers. NA would win just by coverage alone.
Yea as mentioned the time differences would be a problem, but going by the EU guilds that I have fought against/alongside that transfered to NA, they are very good and if this was ever techically possible would make for great fights thats for sure. Heck remember what happened when IRON transfered to SoR lol, good times while it lasted.

This. I have this exact same problem, really weird lag since wintersday patches. IOJ server, Melbourne, Australia. Its driving me nuts.

Post about this in the Tech Support forum because Anet thinks the issue is solely related to some bad routing in EU and not their game. I mean the EU players are indeed experiencing some bad routing but on top of it there’s definitely some game issue related to the latest patches.
The Euros would surrender to each other then NA would come in and pwn everything,

go away
was another thread about EUvsUSvsCH, the entire tread was omg lag. You guys have no idea of concepts or imagination. Let me help you, ignore lag issues and pvd and imagine a battle of 100EUvs100USvs100CH or eu meta vs us meta vs ch meta, what ever “meta” means. Better?

I think you need to go back to school and re-take history ,
Don’t believe everything Hollywood tells you ,
I would love the opportunity to fight NA blobs openfield :>
EU would win that without any problem.. NA just can’t be motivated if there is no oil to be fought for..
Keep mentioning the pot of oil, they might invade!

Idk about that, i dont say NA will win either, because i really don’t know, but whats more important is the possibility that it happens, and if it does, wvw would be more fun, its been stale for a year.

well if you look at leaderboard points by world. seems to me like EU worlds wouldn’t even qualify for NA T1….so who is lazy now?
I’ve been on NA and EU, currently on EU.. I’m sorry but NA would very likely get rekt. It’d be nice to face more servers and an exciting change but the level of skill is significantly higher on EU both in roaming and zerging. And I’ve only been on EU about 5 months versus the year + I was on NA.
I’m also of the opinion that NA would get utterly REKT.
because the attitude of players on EU is so much more oriented around combat and not slinking around trying to find an abandoned wall to cata.
Seeing as they wouldn’t really fight each other the who’s better argument means very little. On the up side it would cover a few time gaps and make for some serious server matchups.

ANet’s response re: lag and d/c’s is one step above “reboot three times in a row” and “vacuum your computer to remove dust”.
There you go Anet, another idea to test out. NA vs EU servers!
And this time we actually have asked for it! So I guess you wont do it :/
Well, if we gonna talk this anyway.
Why not make T1 winners face each other? NA vs EU vs CH

Oh why not host it on twitch like they seem to do every week for those spvp matches noone really care about!
WvW is what you should be pushing Anet!
Those spvp streams get like 2-3 thousand viewers, I bet somethign like the above will get a tonne more all through the week!

NA cant pwn anything without allies.
honestly i think there is more room for a MMORPG to make it in the esports world with a WvW style game play than the sPvP gameplay.
WvW is far more interesting and easier to follow. but they would have to redo/make a map specifically for it. and they would have to make limitations on who would be allowed to rep their world.

True. NA got guilds for all timeslots (NA, EU, OCX etc..) while EU T1 almost only have EU guilds so most EU T1 probably couldn’t contend with top tier NA, on coverage alone. Only exception might be SFR.
That said I think T2/3/4 might be very interesting with alot of servers fighting for top spots: YB, DB, FA, SoS, Deso, JS, FSP, Kodash and Gandara would probably all be contenders for those spots and lower tiers might be interesting too but as said upthread NA does have a huge advantage since their primetime comes right after EU prime.

In theory, yes, the reality looks differently. I have been on a bronze/silver tier server for the past few months – they were really bad (sorry but it’s true “What?! There are no white swords anymore? Did we ever have white swords?”) but they ranked up by doing early morning karma trains, which would be NA prime. And on top of that they’re a German server, so no guilds from NA around – only one time zone.
Top EU gvg team comes to NA to show us how its done, gets rekt, /gdisbands soon after.

GvG guilds are somewhat irrelevant to a discussion about servers…. and the TA players had 200+ms of ping in those GvGs and you can see them rubberbanding in the videos, much like how EP had similar ping levels when they went to EU. When NA went to EU they got rekt, when EU came to NA, they got rekt.
and the top .01% of american players DO NOT represent the majority of people in WvW
just sayin…

its all theoretical when ping is involved.
i still like what was being discussed in another thread of a regional tournament to qualify for the international finals.

I remember RG visits to NA, and remember NA zergs being nonstop farm for them, and remember that no NA guild was able to beat them in GvG. Overall EU wvw skill is way higher than NA.
I played on EU and the ping wasn’t so bad, now and then you rubberband but other than that its ok. SFR running blobs on all 4 maps 24 hours a day tho.. is that still happening?
Making all servers global might even remove the nightcapping problem, but it would obviously introduce some latency issues.
wvw isnt all about gvg, gotta take into consideration server blobs, PPT guilds, and coverage servers, but overall really i jsut want to see them NA & EU fight it out and see the results.
