Not only druids, but some other classes as well such as necros/reapers

LMFAO WAT

pls

This post is hilarious. Literally dying here.

Isn’t Kralk also active? I mean he was recently and I doubt he’s gone to sleep already. So potentially a 3 way?

ikr? how dare devs expect us to play with other people in an online multiplayer game in order to tackle content? like wow what were they thinking. They should also nerf fractals cause I can’t solo those

henchmen.1856:

Australian players are stacked mostly on 2 servers – Blackgate and Sea of Sorrows
Asians are stacked mostly on 2 servers – Jade Quarry and Dragonbrand

TC and Mag don’t have ocx. And if they do, it’s seasonal not permanent. They each have 1 oceanic guild only, both of which are small and both of which are serial server hoppers so you can’t even trust that they’ll still be on those servers in a month.

Do you even play in T1? XD

TC has 3 ocx guilds and Mag has 4, BG 3 or 4 iirc. A fair protion of ocx is on SoS but it’s not as stacked as it once was, JQ has large ocx but so does BG, odd how you don’t mention them on your list of stacked ocx lul.

Hoenstly I hope people disregard the server hopping comment, that’s one of the funniest things I’ve read in a while XD

My guess is they would be further into the Fire Islands chain rather than on the first map

It’s almost like bugs aren’t easy to fix or can create other bugs by fixing one bug or something

Well TC and Mag are good options, TC has a nice and friendly community whereas mag is a bit more on the trolly side of things xD

Depends on the kind of community you want I guess

The other Servers with high ocx are full right now ( BG and JQ) so TC and Mag are your best bets.

Basically it comes down to Gavyne’s #4. The majority of the skilled guild groups left and now it’s just blobs with the occasional bad guilds nuthugging each other to compensate the numbers difference.

There are still some guilds that run 15’s and 20’s that don’t nuthug eachother sure, but they’re few thesedays.

That said, the game has been recovering (at least from what I’ve seen) since HoT made a mess of everything a little bit in recent months with the return of the melee train to a point.

I remember winning some 10 v 40s

Siege is in this game for reason

Server loyalty died in 2014.

Personally, as someone whose only ever been on 2 servers, both of which I’ve been apart of for approximately 2 years each, I’m in favour of scrapping the current servers completely.

Create 6 new servers resulting in 2 tiers, make players select a new server and start from scratch. If WvW wants to survive it needs to change drastically, especially with the likes of Crowfall and particularly CU on the horizon, Anet has limited time to act. The sooner the better.

But yea, it’s basically a coverage issue atm, too strong for T2, lacking the coverage for T1.
Worry not though, we’ll rotate back to t2 on Tuesday and I can go back to fighting doors \o/

Nuzt.7894:

What about putting something in to the effect of, once X boon has been stripped/corrupted that boon type can not be reapplied for 10 sec, or 5 sec or whatever just throwing out random numbers.

I feel this is the most logical solution, fewer nerfs that go around the better imo. A 5 sec delay between a corrupted boon being able to be reapplied would work well enough imo.

300? geez I’m from NZ and only have 210-230 on average. Man, I feel real sorry for you guise and your ISP’s.

I always liked how FF XIV tackled this. They have “normal mode” for the casuals which can be easily cleared by pugs with significantly crappier rewards, and then there’s savage mode, for the organized statics with quality rewards.

Could just remove the ability to attain LI’s from normal raids, so it’s more like a way to learn the encounter/mechanics or something.

Agreed, as it stands it’s unbalanced. My intended point was not that the overall upgrade speeds are bad, rather that it’s resulted in inbalance. Bay being too fast in comparison to hills. A keep should not upgrade faster than a tower IMO.

Words are hard.

displacedTitan.6897:

The faster upgrades are nice and whatever speed is chosen they need to at least even it out between Bay and Hills.

This.

It’s not so much I think objectives upgrading faster is a bad thing, it’s one objective in particular, Bay. It’s simply too close to the SW camp and seems to upgrade slightly too quickly.

I must have overlooked that part of the patch notes that mentioned this though.

Remember back when they sped up the dolyaks on the desert borderlands?

Well, it seems that they didn’t revert this when alpine came back, and as such objectives are upgrading rather fast.

Case and point of this would be Bay if held by an enemy that has the spawn right next to it. It upgrades rather quickly due to the south west camp being so close.

I don’t even want to imagine what it would be like if someone slotted Speedy Dolyaks into that camp ;_;

Curious as to whether the speed of the Dolyaks can be adjusted with the rotations of the maps, or something. kthxbai

Can NA just stop the daycapping pls.

OCX timezone PPT needs a nerf bat

lol wut

Penalizing a tz for playing during their prime doesn’t solve the underlying issue that the current scoring system has.

The entire system needs a huge rework, which the upcoming scoring changes will hopefully adress without devaluing one tz over another.

Chaba.5410:

Really surprising to see a post whining about PPT from Mag here.

Your server has less than half our kdr yet is winning in warscore. Hilarious that you’re bringing Mag into the equation of uncontested PvDooring:

http://wvwintel.com/#1005

Kdr is just an indication of which server blobs the most, tbh. It’s not an indication of a server’s skill and shouldn’t be treated as such.

Um, Mag actually picked up a SEA guild during thier brief time in T2, [ND]. SEA isn’t your problem, EU is. FA has EU, unfortunately for Mag.

Welcome to Coverage Wars 2.

Buy a better computer then.

Calliope.8675:

So, since Anet said they would be dismantling the Desert borderlands and returning to the Alpine maps

They never said this exactly. We are getting a quarterly rotation between the two maps. 3 months of alpine, then 3 months of desert.

fishball.7204:

I miss SEA Time, it was great fighting cA/FUG/HIRE/AHMA with 3 map queues on TC/JQ/BG on EBG.

Nowadays it’s just a ghost town or some PPT stuff ain’t nobody got time for that. You can thank YB for the lack of activity in SEA.

Sounds like you need some T2. HIRE and ND still raid on TC, decimating the DB SEA forces. Feel free to pop on by if you want lol. I mean, the map queue’s aren’t like they used to be in T1 but there’s still decent SEA play.

It’s like this in T2 too (NA), ever since PPK was turned on we started seeing action on the BL’s.

OP makes it feel like this is uncommon even on reset…
Kind of makes it sound like T2 is in a better place than T1 right now…

LordEnki.9283:

I’m glad for the change, but it’s too late of a time.

This is something I personally disagree with, as it’s never too late.

yes, it may be too late to draw old players/guilds back but it’s not too late to bring new players in. I think at this point that’s all we can ask for/expect realistically.
Just my opinion.

Puck.9612:

Bring back alpine bl (unchanged by the Hot gimmicks and auto upgrade crap)

They removed auto upgrades awhile ago tho

Bring back the Alpine Borderline map as it was. No HoT verticality added into it, no incresing the size of it or watever. We just want the old Alpine Borlderland map back.

I personally know a lot of people who will not play the new Borderland map and just sit in the Eternal battlegrounds. I think you’ll find that once the Alpine map is back the population may start to return and the poulation issues will begin to balance themselves out over time again.

Apline Maps returning is a yes from me.

+1

ocx player here, Daycappers are ruining WvW

Thanks for the lol’s.

arnitheking.8427:

would love to see a dev response on this.

Post it on reddit then lol.

SoS’s time in T2 is numbered. TC and FA both want SoS out of T2.
All I can say is keep up the good work and you’ll have a more permanent spot in T2 before you know it.

I thoroughly enjoyed having DB in T2, there were some quality fights early in the week, something SoS hasn’t given us in many, many months – You guys deserved to win last week!

Can’t wait til you’re back here in T2, Focus on the Glicko, it may take a fair bit of work but we will most certainly be seeing you again!
