Guild Wars 2

Yak’s Bend server:
I am new to WvWvW and have been joining in with my guild to run on Wednesdays and Thursdays for a couple of hours each. We usually see a pretty balanced setup when we log in, but recently ques have been so bad that many folks give up waiting after 20-30 minute que time and leave the battle ground que.

Tonight I saw something else I’ve not seen before….a disparity between the 3 servers listed. I’ve never seen a server (no matter who it was) be so high above the other two servers matched against them. It got so bad that after trying several times to just get out of our keeps to go do Quaggan camps and such, that many of us just left the battle grounds all together and decided against doing any WvWvW.

If this disparity is what we will be facing going forward, I think you will see fewer folks opting for doing anything in the WvWvW at all. I know that I will not waste my time when I have absolutely no earthly chance against constant camping. Dying over and over again within such a short period of time to the same very large zerg is just not fun at all. Not even a fighting chance at all either.

I took a screen shot of the WvWvW listing which is how I’ve seen it for at least the past week or two and I must say that this imbalance will keep me out of the play on any of these battle grounds. Too bad, because I was just starting to enjoy my time learning strategy and such for our guild game play.

It’s Kaineng. Same exact thing happened to our bracket (NSP). AR and us just waited them out. After they moved up WvW went back to normal. I’m not exactly sure why they dominate so insanely. I heard a bunch of T1 WvW guilds transferred to Kaineng (a low pop server) back when transfers were free in order to farm kills and essentially gank the lower tiers. I also heard they inject steroids into their wrists and eyeballs before each match.

Thanks for the reply Entropy, I truly appreciate hearing that I am not imagining things. We can’t even do the EB JP without dying any more.

We (my guild) tends to just pretend not to see a player or two who just wants to get to do the JP and get to the chest at the top of EB JP. We did this yesterday. In fact there were two other faction players dancing on the altar behind the chest when we got there.

Since they were just hanging out, we ignored them too. So everyone allowed a time of truce for this amazing JP/chest. However, later when I brought an alt through to do it, I had two other guildies with me when all of a sudden we were ambushed at the bottom of the stairs. My companions were both just very very low level so did not have a chance. At least my 80 guardian did fairly ok until all four of those characters just jumped to me .

….heheheh..good fight even though I was out numbered. I at least took one down with me. I learned I was not such a poor player after all. But I, more often than not, prefer to just explore and wave without a fight at the opposite folks.

@OP

Yes, the current weeks matchups are lopsided across a lot of the tiers. In your case though, you should have a really good match-up tomorrow against CD and SBI.
