Guild Wars 2

…To claim that SFR win every prime time fight, laughable. Take off the rose tinted glasses bud, yesterday during primetime Kodash, Deso and SFR had a pretty even spread of points. In fact, yesterday Deso was often AHEAD of SFR in terms of potential points, even at prime time …

now you make me laught

th truth is that desolation players at most time are worthy, skilled and determined to win opponents (which actually is much more fun than fighting kodash) but unfortunately for you almost whole our prime time (8pm till midnight [cest]) we have 300+ points (except little amount of time when one guild finish its event and leaving WvWvW, but even then we had better potential score)

IKShadow.4582:

Don’t think the problem is in how you calculate the rating, the problem is how the score’s are gained.

The major flaw is giving the score for objectives when there is NO PvP, so this is the thing that need’s to get back on drawing board.

What’s happening on majority of servers now:

You have strong server’s that during prime time ( according to your own graphs you can see what prime time is ) steamroll’s both enemies as they really should not be in the same bracket’s with them.

So whats the result, the server’s that are loosign badly and i mean badly do not have any fun in WvW so after few days that start to give up on WvW. The server that is winning have really boring time as there is no challenge and owning majority of map again during prime time when most people are online is just meh …

So why does this happen ?
Because in most cases you will have few yes few .. check graphs again players running from 2:00am on and getting objectives and keep them during night to gain score for their server.

I dont think when you guys designed WvW you meant to award same amount of points if there is 0 player’s on map.

Balance wise the off time capper’s are screwing the majority of other players as they move them up the bracket where they will just loose badly.

So rather then checking and rechecking how to do rating .. repair the scoring.

so true, right now our “cap time” on Seafarer’s Rest (fighting against Blacktide and Baruch Bay) is during prime time (7pm-1am) when we mosty have rating 400+ points and ONLY reason why BT is loosing only by ~45k points is because they have a lot of players playing ~7am who actualy play PvD (player versus door)
AN you shoud reconsider changes in points sytem because its no fun when we fight near BT and BB starting points

…
Night capping is one of those valid tactics to score some points in a lasting battle – to get your world the upper hand, or cancel out daytime supremacy by another well coordinated opponent.
…

war is never fair – thats right but waiting till enemy logs off and then attack abandoned objectives is ONLY show of YOUR WEAKNESS

ONLY WEAK people are afraid of accepting a challenge
