Guild Wars 2

What’s happened to JQ? They gained 300+ transfers a few weeks ago and are currently losing to YB ?

Why are we surprised ? The bad players that were on TC thought moving to SOS would make them more competitive

The poll was on this forum and it was removed . People can still vote for it .

The proof is here that 70% + people are not happy about desert bl
-http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=585d28afe4b09017a83c32d8

Anyway my solution would be remove desert bl from WvW and separate it just like EOTM and add 3 factions. Doing this would help with balance in WvW and the people who love desert bl will get way more action as well. Is that a bad idea ? It’s a win-win for everyone

not really , the votes you see from the poll are from like 3 months ago way before discord.

Ok, so can you disclose all your info about this topic?

“because the majority who voted for it only go EOTM , PVE and people who only enter WvW for dailies”

How many total players voted for dbl?

How many of those voters only go to eotm?

How many of those voters only pve?

How many of those voters only enter wvw for dailies?

How does your information counter what McKenna said?

If 75% really did vote for desert bl than why is there hardly anyone on that map ?

not really , the votes you see from the poll are from like 3 months ago way before discord.

It’s proof that there should a revote .

People keep saying oh we voted for desert bl but the people who voted for it are no where to be seen and that’s because the majority who voted for it only go EOTM , PVE and people who only enter WvW for dailies . Just to a revote and exclude people who hardly enter WvW .

Here is what a real WvW vote looks like since majority players who voted for it are WvW players

So by that logic no matter how stacked a server is, if it loses 2 guilds and doesn’t have sea coverage it should open. It shouldn’t matter how it is in comparison to other servers. Ok, thank you for your input.

….. You mean the server population dropped with the leaving of a 1 decent sized and 1 massive guild leaving and that lead to it being opened as a result, what exactly is your point?

What you saying would make sense if you can explain why TC went full if they didn’t gain any guilds ?

@ Pancake , how come BG is the only server that can queue 4 maps at reset ? every other server 2-3 maps at best .

if these guilds had any brains they would move to SoS since they already have 1 time slot covered for tier 1 .

Hello everyone,

Our goal with World Linking is good matches. This doesn’t necessarily mean that worlds in tier 4 are intended to be competitive with worlds in tier 1, but ideally every world in tier 4 should be competitive with the other worlds in tier 4 and likewise every world in tier 1 should be competitive with the other worlds in tier 1.

This is what Anet told us few months ago and this week they gave TC the finger and possibly JQ if they roll tier 1 .

not sure how this does anything for balance for servers like JQ and TC who roll tier 1 against MAG and BG .

Desert BL solution – Separate it like EOTM from Current match ups and use the same faction system as you do for EOTM . Have 3 Desert BL’s maps and weekly match ups . Doing this keeps everyone happy and it eliminates any advantages they are with 2 Alpine BL’s and 1 Desert BL .

http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=585d28afe4b09017a83c32d8

still no fix ?

there should be a revote . The only people i see there is people doing dailes or people who are stuck in queues …..

so you’re wondering if it’s possible to stack the current number 1 server more which is Blackgate because they need more help with coverage even tho they are annihilating all other servers ?

This is nothing but CASH GRAB when you think about it . First linkings we had there was heaps of people transferring to BG/ET , second linkings it was DB/IOJ and third time Mag/BP . And the current linking there was barely any transfers so Anet had to come up with a solution to increase transfers/CASH so they basically opened BG/JQ .

Still told us how toxic BG was Anyway enjoy the fights . Peach out .

@Tyyphoon.5301 – Didn’t you transfer to TC once and you told everyone in map chat you left BG because BG was toxic GG

This does nothing for balance when you have a server like FA in the same match up . It’s pathetic people are embracing lopsided wins .

Mag had to be relinked after what happened to DB imo . Mag imploding won’t be good for the game .

Tanking is a waste of time . Why would a full server (JQ) get a linking over servers who are not full ? The problem with JQ is 99% of their pugs all flock to EB .

Team chat now works across maps in WvW.

All im going to say is thankyou

Stuck on 0 seconds . Anyone else have this issue ? Did a reset and game client repair and still having this problem .

Why is Dragonbrand imploding ?

Any reason why the Desert Borderlands has no background music like Alpine Borderlands and Eternal Battlegrounds ?

Here is a ladder Kills / Deaths Ratio from the winners from every match up EU/NA combined . Enjoy

1. Maguuma- Ratio: 1.89

2. Crystal Desert – Ratio: 1.37

3. Jade Quarry – Ratio: 1.19

4. Seafarer’s Rest – Ratio: 1.17

5. Desolation – Ratio: 1.17 (1.16.9)

6. Gunnar’s Hold – Ratio: 1.05 (105.1)

Man this is so kittening bs half my guild on TC half my guild on Kaineng and someone of my members still on DH yeah anet of course linking is.great you know guilds are totally not going to kittening die kittening hell that’s I’m out V overwatch here I come.

TC is open .

WarLordZ.4217:

Hello,
I do not know if there some other players who think the same way, but I would appreciate it if A-Net allows that we are recognized by the opponents as a small server.
I would appreciate if we get back our server identity and seen by the opponent servers with my real tag and not from the bigger server. What do you think about it?

100% Agree with this , I’m from Tarnished Coast and if i came across Anvil Rock and Eredon Terrace tags it will be even more exciting . Anet should at least trial it .

And hopefully this makes DB perish from tier 1 and we can get the dream matchup FA/BG/TC and have a real fight tier . DB can have fun playing back capping with YB and JQ since it’s what all 3 servers love to do

RIP JQ and DB hahahahahaha

Aphs.9528:

You guys need to get over the queues , everyone is excited right now about mergers so of course you will see bigger queues , the queues will eventually go back to normal . And it’s reset so stop crying . Better knowing WvW is alive and kicking then dead .

Its not just about queues, are you so short sighted, people go to lower tiers to escape the blobbing of higher tiers, they go there for a different style of play, now they are being forced to be a part of it, they now have no where to go and cannot escape it. The blobbing, lag, queues that people from lower tiers were able to avoid will now be a daily part of their wvw experience. And for those in upper tiers our ability to get our guilds on the same map, coordination, communication has been impacted severely.

These mergers and queues will encourage people to move to tier 3 and 4 now which is a positive for balance . So if you don’t like the queues then move to tier 3 or 4 .This was Anet’s intention to try and balance the tiers and get people to spread out .

MaLeVoLenT.8129:

A reset would not make the problems worse it would fix the problems. It would fix JQ being stuck and DB and TC being considered Tier 1 servers. It would fix MAG consistently destroying Tier 3 and most importantly when the server are pair it would strike a better balance quicker.

100% Agree

Join TC and collect your bags

So this Donkey who created this post didn’t have any issues when DB was obliterating tier 3 servers by over 200k and all of a sudden losing by 10-20k is an issue ? And DB got a win a few weeks ago so what’s the problem ?

10 Players and 9 classes and here we have half the players playing the same class and it’s like this nearly every game . Does Anet not see any issue with this regarding balanced ?

Also DB has heaps of havoc groups in sea as well and FA would be the perfect place if a sea guild wanted to transfer to tier 2 for fights .

vana.5467:

So what does SEA time coverage look like in T2 at the moment?
DB: big blob
TC: ND + ?
FA: ?

T1 SEA has been absolute garbage for a while now and I’m considering transferring down..

EremiteAngel.9765:

TC ‘gained’ numbers because Never Die (ND) guild joined us and showed us that they can lead and win outnumbered fights during SEA time. With every win, our smaller blob against DB’s large blob, the number of players willing to raid during SEA time in TC stays and grows. Even then, DB outnumbers us easily but well, with ND around to lead TC, TC is more than a match for DB now.

Hasan just got hard.

DB- Relax And Have Fun [RF] , Neconecoknight [NNK] , AZ [AZ]

TC-Never die [ND] , Hired Assassins [HIRE]

FA- Ghastly Knights[GK] Metro Mini Transformers [MM]

These numbers are not accurate. The API data is still not entirely fixed.

Before the PPK went in and borked the API data T1 was averaging between 30-50% more kills per week than T2.

Or do you really believe that T1 is only as active as T3-T4?

T1 in NA is still significantly more active than any other tier in NA, and once the API is back up and fully repaired, the numbers will show that.

I believe it. The game mode is hemorrhaging out the top. No one wants to play anymore, and Anet will not listen to fix it. I see fellow T1 core players here saying the same thing I have been for ages and no one will listen. When we all go silent, that means we all gave up /uninstall and stop waiting. There will come a point that it was too little too late and they waited too long to do as we asked and they will never consider coming back after that point. MANY T1 players and guilds are setting up house on other games atm. BDO getting most of them for the time being. The same T1 guild rivalries on here are being carried over there. XD

See, this is something that Anet has failed to capitalize on in a major way. The rivalry and camaraderie that WvWvW creates. Instead they try to shoehorn people into 5 man sPvP teams and have at one point actually considered churning out PvE content every 2 weeks (those are nightmarish deadlines) to keep PvErs. All those tiers and queues to the point where they made EotM to alleviate it, but those players just weren’t enough to be worth real, active and continued development? Meanwhile, they had to introduce megaservers and gut dungeon rewards (which I’m sure was at least partially influenced by gem sales) to save empty PvE maps. It just seems off to me.

In the end, it’s people who make the MMO experience worth anything. Even guilds from Archeage are playing BDO. That game will have to seriously mess up for those players to leave their established communities and accounts, castle sieges and GvGs to come back to GW2 in a meaningful capacity and not just log in for dailies. T1 NA is so bad right now that its comical. YB has a map blob in EBG yet they’re managing to flip all the other maps and siege up paper towers. The chilling fog + air strikes in an already sieged up SMC (like seriously, having some of these upgrades should decrease the siege cap, shouldn’t have both).

YB apparently is entertained by sieging up towers, the thing is no one else was, and got bored and left. The players coming on don’t care about PPT, they just want fights.

You mean something like this ?

Tier 1
Yak’s Bend – Kills: 13,080
Jade Quarry-Kills: 9,065
Blackgate-Kills: 8,101

Total tier 1 kills —- (30,246 )
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Tier2
Tarnished Coast-Kills: 23,555
Dragonbrand-kills: 15,208
Fort Aspenwood-Kills: 13,209

Total tier 2 kills —- (51,972)

Seems tier 2 is more active and perhaps Anet can see this and give us 1 random match up a month ? Pretty sure people would be excited about fighting new people once in a while.

Entenkommando.5208:

Most kills doesn’t mean best fights.
Half the kills could be caused by idiots dying to arrowcarts

Sorry but in tier 2 you will not see many arrow carts since YB has vanished from the tier .

Yeah pretty obvious what server the OP must be from

No way what gave it away.

May i ask what server bought your guild ?

BEAR didn’t get bought. It says BG in quoted sig. Also, it says BG in Revs sign. Also, OP could have well been from any of the top 7 servers, at least top 3. Sounds like guilds transferred off your server and you are still upset they didn’t want anything to do with you anymore.

What are you talking about ? I’m from TC .
