Bah the WvW match-up threads have become the most entertaining part of GW2 lately.
I am going to go out on a limb and say the first reset after they get rid of the match-up forum the WvW discussion is going to be flooded with people making match-up threads and then the next week nobody will be left on these boards since we will all be banned =/.
“This is from a ATM commander: “And those who didn’t get to see my post, right now SEA time only left ATM, FOO (I believe is coming back) and GE as the main forces and we are trying to break SOR’s SEA morale by washing away all their tier 3 keeps if possible and let their kitteny EU forces feel the pinch. We do not know whether it will work or not but we do know we are having so much fun doing that. So bear with us guys, we will continue that until either major WVW guilds joined us or make SOR break up. This is how we did to SOS and hopefully it will work on SOR.”
SOR I look forward to watching you guys crash and burn
So I am confused here, what you are trying to say is that in order to get more guilds to join you, you have to PvDoor more? And that PvDoor is fun?
Anyone had any luck finding a good PvX Axe build since the patch?

That is my latest pass at coming up with one, it’s not finished yet so I am looking for input from people. The main focus of this build would be to allow people to go from PvE straight into WvW without having to re-trait every time, if I do dungeons I retrait for a zerker build but it would be nice to have a build where you could do World Events while waiting in Q.
Seriously ANet people can’t play WvW atm without fear of crashing every 10 min…..
I agree Ruprect.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:
Split EU and NA = Win
I don’t see a huge problem with the current “solution”.
it’s only a 2 hour difference, and affects all servers the same way. people who were easily able to queue at reset before, might find it harder now. and people who could never queue before (because they were 2 hours too late due to their timezone) will now get their chance.
I don’t really expect this to change overall server strength very much, but of course we won’t know for sure until it happens. but worst-case, if it does, we might see some movement between tiers as a result, rather than the current stagnation. that wouldn’t be altogether bad.
personally, I wouldn’t mind a rotating system where resets are 2 hours earlier every week. players in every timezone should have the opportunity, at least sometimes, to be on for reset.

I swear most people on this forum are so narrow sighted to think that the only issue NA, SA, and Oceanic has with this are the Q times. Reset night is the 1 night a week were guilds and servers can get together and work vs a coordinated opponent with everyone on an equal footing (aka no t3 keeps).
I know from experience in the hour prior to reset we are setting up, deciding what guilds are going were, and what our strats will be. And once the reset hits for the most part the dedicated wvwers can get in (yes a few zone out and miss the Q). On every other night people come and go, people get bored and only play the weekend, or 1 server has every t3 by the time another time zone logs in, etc etc.
Now move the reset to 6est. Est folks are rushing home to try and get on, pst folks are at work thinking about ditching early, oceanic folks are hitting snooze again. PST get home log in, wait in Q and the equal footing is gone and the server meetings are over guilds are split between BLs all rdy. Player X whose guild went to Green BL now has a 4 hr Q so player X can’t play with his/her guild tonight, etc etc.
See what I am getting at here? Its not just Q times people are upset about, GW2 is a mmo and people what to play with their friends and guildies.
This isnt directed directly and you Snow, more a generalized point a lot of people don’t consider

It’s marginal in it’s effect. If you couldn’t stay up until 2am to play, which according to every EU poster here was such a hard chore, you are gaining at most 2 hours of playtime. These same two hours, when you are CHOOSING to play, the NA population is still at work because their choice has been removed.
The massive change here is that ANET has told the NA population to kitten off. Want to hold a job and play WvW at reset, forget it.
But it isn’t.
There is a HUGE difference between the amount of people playing at midnight compared to 2am.
And there is a huge difference between the number who can play at 3pm and 6pm, not to mention in a few months its going to be 2pm and 5pm.
So in conclusion: Split EU and NA, and stopping the bickering between EU and everyone else.
We are looking into what it will take to split the times out on a per region basis and we’ll do everything we can to make that the case as soon as possible. In the meantime, this change will make things better for European players, who have been dealing with a very inconvenient time since launch.
Thank you for you looking into this. I am safe to say all everyone wants is to be able to play with theirs guilds at reset, regardless of being NA or EU.
So you are dropping the problem into our laps. Are you serious?
WvW = red headed step child of gw2 did you really expect anything else?
And this EU people arguing against NA people is pointless. EU you can’t tell me you wouldn’t want your reset to be at 8pm your time instead of midnight.
WTB split resets!
So to sum up what players want:
Seperating EU from NA = Win!
Anets logic:
(throws dart at dart board) 22:00 UTC!
Honest question, how much impact will the reset being at midnight instead of 2am for EU players really have? (Honestly don’t know what its like in EU so no troll intended here)
Problem with a Saturday reset is the matches are usually decided 48 – 72 before the reset anyways making the final days pointless in the final score. Which would make friday night (high play time) pointless.
I am all for making it easier for EU players to be on at reset, but like I said before all this is, is a bandaid since ANET seems to be unable to (for whatever reasons) separate EU and NA.
As it is for me if i don’t get in right at reset I might as well go get wasted since the Q times are usually 2 – 3hrs.
Another example of ANet trying to place a bandaid on something rather than actually fix the problem. The reset is now at 3pm PST or 6pm EST, which means EST is just getting home from work and eating dinner and PST is still working for a few more hours. Add in Q times and the PST players will be lucky to get on at all, a lot probably wont even bother trying on reset night.
Mr. and/or Mrs. Moderator, this may be the wrong spot for this, but without being able to target the individuals in question, we are unable to report as you say so. We have been forced, as gamers, to take these situations up ourselves. We try to clean our own communities with our own initiative. No member from any server would want to be associated with said activities. Everyone strives for legit gaming and to at least have a positive lime light around them.
Until you guys supply us with a better means to report people, we will be forced to report these matters to each others’ communities in order to keep things the cleanest as possible on our own ends. We only do this because we do not possess an in game mechanic that can properly do this in certain instances. You will have to forgive the 3 communities you have here for making things known as public and making individuals walk the walk of shame to the best of our ability to show that we as gamers will not tolerate such activities within our gaming experience. This, all being in the fairness of a legit win/play vs another team/server.

Biggest thing people have to realize about Mystic Forging is every roll is independent of the roll before it, which is why some people get theirs in 1 try other 1000.
Is it worth it or not? Depends on if you enjoy gambling with your money in hopes of spending less, or if you would rather farm the gold and buy it outright.
Personally I gambled with my money and spent about 100g to get Tooth of Frostfang ( so I saved about 300g ). I used rares that I bought or crafted, with only the occasional exotic combine with the crappy exotics I got from MFing rares.
Your forgetting 1 major issue. What is to stop me on server A from taking advantage of this system to guest on B and follow their zergs around while I am on server A’s teamspeak. Now obviously not everyone would do this but even if 1 person would do this it is not worth adding the option to guest.
Not going to lie, I had to re read this several times to figure out if it was a troll or not, and I am still not sure.
All this would accomplish is more and more trolls on each server. As far as WvW completion goes, until they completely removed it from WvW all I can suggest is actually go out there and help your team win………………. I have gotten WvW map completion on 4 characters without even trying.
It would make things more interesting at times I bet and add a little more strategy into attacks, instead of the massive red ball of text vs the massive green wall of text.
I was thinking about this the other night also…. Then I realized that the monkey living in my closet knows what rank I am also so its all good!
But how will Santa ever tell who his Apprentice Toymakers are for next Christmas if he cant see the titles?
But anyways +1 for some sort of option to get rid of titles in WvW. Pretty sure my left eye had a mild stroke last night when a JQ and BG zerg combined to form a massive text bubble on my screen
Here is mine:
Culling – B+
I can’t give them an A because culling should have been fixed before game launched…
WvW GUI – B-
I am going to include nameplates in with this, which is why it gets a B-. If they removed titles, adding scaling to named depending on distance, and get rid of non charater names always showing up it would have been alot better.
WvW Leveling – C
I pretty much agree with everything you said here.
WvW Items – D
Adding a gold sink along with badges to purchase items ruined it for me.
New WvW Skins – Honestly giving this a F is still to generous
I looked at the skin for about 1 min and will probably never go back to that merchants again, enough said.
Overall C-
They hyped this WvW patch up so much and for the most part failed miserably at it. If this hadn’t been the so called WvW centered patch and just another standard patch it would have been ok, but if this is what we can expect from them in the future I find it hard to get excited.
Also let me clarify the C-. To me a grade of C is average so the C- would just be slightly below average. A is reserved for close to perfection and B is above average. So while I might not be overly thrilled about the patch I am not saying it was horrible.
I also feel victim to the hype around it and let myself to get exicted..

Don’t suppose anyone has screenshots yet? Or is WvW still down?
For those of us stuck at work could someone give an explanation of what they actually added? Aka how many badges and how much gold it costs, and what kind of crappy skins they added?
Exactly Theifz, people always seem to think that everyone only cares about the all mighty and all powerful Points. The fact is that most of the people on SoR ( and other servers I’m sure) only really care about having fun in WvW.
SoR has T1 quality players in all time slots and people from other servers can say all they want about people going to leave SoR now that we are in 3rd in T1. I’m pretty sure the people who would have left the server because of the all mighty point system where coverage > skill, would all ready have left when we finished 2nd behind BG for those 11 or 12 weeks (short term memory here).
And to the OP about SoRs current tactics, the fact is that WvW atm is going to be wierd until the patch hits. Increased world chests drops have drawn a few people out of WvW for a bit. Some are taking a break until the patch. I for one have stepped back from WvW quiet a bit until the patch hits so I can try to finish this legendary. This can be said about every server atm, and I think the scores show that.
T2 is pretty evenly matched atm. And in T1 NA ( I cant speak for non NA time slot ) it is still a lot of fun regardless of what the score is.
