Guild Wars 2

Naithe.4271:

Something as simple as “These comments do not represent the X server community.” would be sufficient. And no, standing up for what’s right, isn’t silly. Just rare.

Most of us don’t care about scoring internet points by arguing with purported server-mates for an audience that does not care.

Sarika.3756:

Three or four players don’t define a server.

They do if they are the only one speaking. Guess what, they were the only one speaking.

Silence is acceptance.

I agree with you on many things, Finality, but not on this.

Chiming in to disagree, in the environment where a lot of this happens, just feeds the trolls.

I’ve seen insults and ridiculous chest thumping for the wrong reasons from pretty much every server I’ve been on or fought. Choosing not to wrestle with the pigs doesn’t mean I agree with them. It simply means that I choose not to get muddy with them.

I firmly believe the game is better when we respect our opponents and treat them that way.

Communication requires a two way street. Someone willing to talk, and someone willing to listen.

I have barely played WvW for 2 weeks now cause of the matchup. Looks like a third week next week considering the glicko movements.

Waiting to see what the next server link will do cause it’s boring af right now.

I can imagine its been pretty quiet in your timezone. We have been getting some good fights during NA, even during really late NA when it was pretty dead in the past, shoutout to TORK & WL for keeping EB fun and lively. I appreciate that groups are still coming out to fight despite the scores.

I hope that the scoring changes breakup the staleness a little bit at least. Winning by 100k each week is not healthy or fun, and just bores people away from wvw on every server. The relinking schedule should it change could shake things up, and we will see what happens when the pairings are changed and if any matchups change.

For those looking for an outlet, someone mentioned Overwatch and yeah it is a great distraction. I have been logging out of GW2 to play it frequently. Nice FPS/Dota hybrid that is equal parts frustrating and fun.

Does Overwatch allow for a Serious Long Term Community player base & Ecosystem like how WvW used to be…if not…I’m not interested…this was the single unique thing about WvW that kept it out of the same genre of other MMORGPs.

I’ll get bored after playing shoot-em up on System assigned teams & match-ups after a few months.

I still prefer having a stable Community of players that I see daily…to share in the grief & joys in the rise & fall of my chosen Community.

Imho…still feel that WvW is broken…and CANNOT:

1) Reduce the direct impact of Server stacking to Match-Ups
2) Allow friends & family to play together from many different Worlds
3) Allow Off-peak capping, but let players to work out a solution themselves

Thanks for the suggestion…but as RodOfDeath kindly pointed out somewhere:

why fix what isnt broken

Fight what can not be fought.

Know what can not be known.

Rotate what can not be rotated.

Fix what can not be broken.

Overwatch is more like spvp.

Thank you for confirming this for me.

Based on their current observed Polls.

Sadly…I think ANet is converting the WvW Game Mode…into this genre…imho

No. If you don’t like WvW in GW2 any longer but want a community RvR style game your choices are extremely limited. ESO might be a fit but is less populated and more troublesome than WvW IMO. Maybe Lineage 2 which is open world PvP and a total grind fest. BDO… also a grind fest that is super buggy.

Basically GW2 does RvR or WvW better than anyone right now… by a long shot.

I totally agree with guilds like TORK & WL & GS & RISE bringing the fun back to EBG on TC. I really like playing WvW, and it saddens me that we have devolved into blobs that rely on numbers and coverage to win. Playing against BG and YB is getting stagnant because nothing changes in the map setups each week in EBG.

Here’s a suggestion: maybe rotate the colors so we have some variety like it used to be each week?

Thanks for trying to offer me options, but Sadly…you’re totally right.

Did you by per chance see Never Ending Story?

I guess I’ll just have to wait for a miracle to happen.

ET used to be one of the lowest pop servers before server linking… but now it’s almost rated high, which is almost good enough enough to be a tier 2 server lol.
It’s hard to recognize BG these days, almost everyone running around is a stranger and all the new active commanders in every timezone.

There are some new players that are also trying to get BG players to xnsfer off from BG with various information like “go to this new & better wvw server thats started forming” (join before it gets full etc… obvious trolls trying to get BGs population down so it opens for xnsfer i guess). After doing some research I found a few of these players with 15k+ AP were from JQ that had recently xnsfered to ET after it linked to BG.

NA Tier 1 is like a pure karma train this week it seems, the fighting is really bad and unbalanced. It’s not what wvw used to be here in tier1. We don’t want easy fights that you can do semi afk, we want challenges, I would even prefer losing every weekly matchup for months, than it turn into this “new player server xnsfer karmatraining heaven”.

I think perhaps every server in Tier1 (here: I mean the real home server population of players) would prolly prefer if we remain unlinked in tier1 for the time being, it’s too exploitable in it’s current design. The huge population jump in ET is a big indication that ppl are up to no good. Why these ppl dont want balanced fights, but choose to stack on the winning team is just mind boggling. They’re ruining their own and everyones enjoyment without realizing it.

Enjoy a week of karma trains… zzzzzz

BDO is total grindfest still…crafting is much simpler than GW2 grindfest :]
Also on BDO guild conquer territory on pve maps, and they fight against other guilds for that, it is different and more similiar to Ragnarok Online War of Emperium, on GW2 groups try to see who has more population to karma train stuff, owning stuff only important to ppt that no one cares, oh and chests farm.
