Thanks to the new Megaservers every Guild Mission one tries to start is already runnig. Of course it is possible to sometimes do it with the other guild, but then again no guild merits your guild. For maxed guildes this is not so much a problem but still annoying.
Other times the Mission timer is at 10 minutes so you probably can’t do it in the time and just have to wait.
And of course the system where you’re supposed to land on the same map as your guildies does not work at all….

My personal not to good opinion about Megaservers aside there needs to be a fix to this.

Another issue i have is, that there is no mention about whats going to happen to guild missions. I just assume that after the megaservers are introduced the chance another guild already startet the mission you want to do go up quit a bit. So instead of doing missions you just wait until you can start them…

Well thank you for a blog with absolutly no Information at all.
I would have loved some Information about how to get new People to join wvw or take part in a wvw Event if you have no where you can recruit them.

The most important fix would be to balance the ridicolous stealth mecanics. This is the biggest fail there is right now. Followed closly by the endless Lord banner revival.

Wasn’t SFR once the Server full of Guild Groups? Now i only see blobs everywhere. I really miss the old SFR.
Do you still have Groups that run alone? The only Guild i ever saw was ZB, and their just a blob of their own. It really sad to see a Server that once was so good become just another blob:(

Keep up the pvd, really impressive:)
And the whole double teaming whinig is just getting boring, there is no such thing, Otherwise everyone could say the same, for example yesterday evening on jade bl where piken had nothing better to do thay wipe every 10 minutes in bay instead of attacking jade only once. Happens on every border that one side is double teamed.

What’s up with Piken, for the number 2 in Gold League a very bad start. Do your guilds boycott reset or is the only way you can make points night capping?:)

OP skill lags since WvW seasons started

Seems like their tactic will be sitting this one out and hoping that after everyone has done the achievements things will go back to the way it was before season 1 started.
Almost a week of insane lags and still no comment, that just says a lot about how much they care…..

I think we can agree to disagree:)

From my totally biased point of view no one on kodash really cares for gvgs, and why should we. We don’t have the to become the nr 1 guild in europe, the ones who want that already left :P

We play for fun, and always have to be stuck withing 5 meteres of your commander and doing whatever he says in not fun, for me this sounds more like work. Against you i played in every form from small group to guild group to alliance, and the guild group approach is probably the worst in this matchup because everytime we do something with our 15 man we get overun by a 30 man guild group. So the 40-50 man alliance raid was much more fun, especially when teaming up with bots and taking out your groups from two sides:) And i still fail to see the difference why it is worse to blob with 50 and run over 30 than when 30 run over 15. Even if your 30 man are of course better coordinated than our 50…..

To sum up, i still don’t get it why every guild that seems to be interested in gvg joins sfr and pushed it to sort of t1 to fight jade and vizu blobs. Just change server again, most of you don’t seem to be really loyal to a server:)

New Server Matchups Was Worst Idea Ever

in WvW

Posted by: Catastrophin.3928

Catastrophin.3928

Anyone who takes a look at the european matchup will see how great the new system works. Theres one bracket(maybe 2 but give it a day) which is not completely dominated by one server. The rest of the matchups is just a joke where one side hast 3/4 of the map at mostly all times, exept perhaps the 2h primetime.
I still don’t get it why a simple system with the winner going up and the looser down a bracket wouldn’t be way better than this.

I thought the new matchup system might be good, but from the looks of it it ended up beeing a joke. From now on its just going to be one server dominatig the others for a week. Migth be fun for hight rank servers so the can do karma train every week now. They might even loose points in the process, but whats the point?? The rank does not really matter any more, so why care about wheter you are on rank 1 or 6.
I still don’t get why they can’t implement a simple system where the winner goes up one bracket and the looser down one.

Well its nice not to be stuck with the same servers for month but vizunah seriously?? We haven’t won a single matchup in about 3 month or so and still always keep on making more points. Something is still very wrong with the rating system.
Hope dies last to finally get a matchup we have at least a chance to win;)

Luckily i like popcorn, otherwise nobody would be able to read this thread:)
In it’s current condition sfr probably is the strongest server during prime time.

The thing i really don’t get is what you are trying to achieve. The only thing you want is gvg in the 30+ guild blob range. But where do you expect to find this, if probably every 2nd guild in this size is on your sever? At least i don’t know where else they would be. Kodash has none, deso two i guess, elona only gd comes to mind, jade also none that i know of. Havent played against any other server for too long to judge, but i guess there aren’t that many either. On the other hand you have (random number) 10.
So the only thing that is going to happen is either you run over smaller guild groups or your going to have to fight blobs, not exacty great fights.

The same Mesmer hacked himself in the kodash spawn tower on sfr as well. So yes, he most certainly hacked.
Of course it’s never a server, but if you get a port into a t3 lord room you should sometimes aks yourself how the mesmer got in there. And the comment about nightcapping as more or less an excuse for hacking is just sad…

T2 EU: Seafarer's vs Jade vs Kodash 17.5-24.5

in Match-ups

Posted by: Catastrophin.3928

Catastrophin.3928

One of the problems is that our guild groups are mostly too small to match the menpower of CoN and ECL and others on their more populated days. Its just not that much fun to run into a guild group of 30 people with your 15. After a few deaths we team up with others so we have more people. Then you have to team up and so on. One other reason ist that we do have more “randoms” than you do, and that tends to end up in blobing.
And in the end, its not like you never blob. Like now on sfr border:)

Nice Fights on sfr border tonight. Thx to CoN and all other guilds, was great fun at the west tower.
Luckly for us you don’t scout that good so the guild teams managed to get into t3 bay fast without a fight while you were fighting our pug zerg:)

This is just a joke. We just open Hill Keep, entered with around 40-50 men, and almost everyone was instantly down by the around 10 people and Arrowcarts on the gate
If this isn’t fixed how should it be posssible to take a keep with an enemy zerg in it.

Worst WvW Patch ever. Rams are now useless. And every other form of siege as well, because you can’t block shots from mortars or trebuchets any more.
And the only way to win a siege is now if you have the higher position for your trebuchets, otherwise there ist now way to win. Only one Trebuchet for defense you don’t instantly see, because its behind a wall and all your catapults are completly useless.

Catastrophin.3928

Well if you have any plan how WvW works you should know that playing on homemap mostly means having a 2vs1. It’s the same for Kodash and Elona on the homemap.
But blaming the own incompetence on others is always the best denial:)
If you don’t want to have a 2vs1 against you just change the map…

Euh excuse me, Kodash is not on our level, (Jade Sea), clearly if Elona was not helping them, they will not be here.

After weeks of playing agains Jade Sea i havent had one good fight against you. We have nice fights against Elona every day. But against you its just sad, you only win if you have twice the numbers. Otherwise you mostly run, if not you just die without giving us a challenge.
I still wonder when exactly you are making all the points, probably at night when most uf us are sleeping.
But yes, you are on another level than we are, PvD is not our thing.

Apparently thieves are OP...

in WvW

Posted by: Catastrophin.3928

Catastrophin.3928

The only problem with thiefs is invisibility. It just can’t be that a thief hits and you are not able to see him until 5 seconds later. Then goes stealth again and so on and on.. And then finishes you while in stealth and because it was so much fun not seeing the enemy your friends nearby wont be able to see, and kill him even after he finished you. Because finishing probably isn’t doing dmg so no need to take him out of stealth or maybe it’s just culling….
I dont think they do too much dmg, just with culling and lags and what so ever the period of stealth probably ist twice as long as intended.

But don’t worry our Golems are still around:))

Far Shiverpeaks v Piken v Kodash (23/11)

in WvW

Posted by: Catastrophin.3928

Catastrophin.3928

Was a good week. On Prime Time you guys on Piken are really strong, and we on Kodash had a lot to learn. Our main problem is that we have a lot of small guilds but not that many big ones, so its nearly impossible to beat you if you walk around with 3-4 big, well organised guild groups.
But it might be not to bad for Piken to stay in a lower bracket, because your night shift is just so bad that even kodash has a better one. And we have no chance against the night shift of the servers only one bracket higher.

Had a great time yesterday on EB defending SM. We had to defend for hours against FS and Piken, sometimes they probably safed us by fighting both at the same time in the Lordroom.
Some bad lags when all three sides fought inside SM. I think something like that should not happen if you make a game mode which is meant to deal with huge numbers.

Just had the same problem in my team. I really don’t get it why is not possible to rejoin after a dc. Just frustrating to be near the end of fractal 3 when 2 people disconnect.
I really like the dungeon but that needs to be fixed.
Just lock the group at the beginning, so that no one else can join.

I’m from Kodash and our night crew is not really big. Of course over the weekend it ist bigger, but most of the time we’re the ones loosing to night crews.
The fights so far have been great. Just a few minutes ago bay got attacket by around 10 Golems and an Omega golem, was really fun crushing them^^
Hope the rest of the week will be as much fun as the start to this round.

You should really read the german forum, funny how there riverside complains about us having an alliance with you. But those discussions are so pointless.

And if i had a choice i would hit the other german servers, because on Kodash the respect for SFR is really hight, especially osc. On the other side after the first encounter a few weeks ago with riverside we don’t like them so much:)

After last weeks encounter i really enjoy this match, its pretty even, exactly what we needed after last weeks night capping dissapointment:(

What is pathetic about that?
I’m really starting to enjoy how everyone thinks we on Kodash have alliances with the other server.
Some players on Riverside think we only attack them and you seem to think we only attack you.
Simple fact ist that the target you choose is the weakest at the moment. During the day probably SFR due to low numbers. At Primetime you are in my eyes stronger than Riverside so we might focus more on them. And i seriously doubt that you do it any different…

Yesterday was a very dissapointing start for us on Kodash. Outmanned from the start.
Today at primetime it turned out pretty good, after a week or so full battlefields again.

Managed to grad the Orb and two keeps on Seafarer borderlands. Some nice fights for both keeps.
Hopefully we will be able to hold on to a few points over night, but i doubt it. We just don’t seem to have a night and morning crew.

Night Capping and YOU

Catastrophin.3928

Whith the possiblity that American guilds join EU servers its simply impossible to make it balanced. How is a german server able to compete with an other EU servers with lots of american players on it capping everything at night. It is the same for every not english speaking server ( a few spanish and french exceptions), there is no reason for an american guild to join such a server.
If they wanted EU and US players to fight in WvW they wouldn’t have seperated the servers in WvW.

10/19 Desolation vs Far Shiverpeaks vs Kodash

in WvW

Posted by: Catastrophin.3928

Catastrophin.3928

Is seems clear that desolation ist going to win this round. During prime time alle three sides are rather even. maybe far shiver a litte bit ahead. But because night capping is the only way to win atm, well done desolation.
I have yet to understand why a huge guild would join a eu server only to cap everything and then sit around for hours doing nothing. If they really were looking for a challenge, there ist no point in choosing a eu server, maybe in t1 you will have more than 10 enemys to deal with. On the other hand on american servers you would have had the challenge all along. But perhaps it would have been a problem making your way to the top….
