Hilarious this thread is at 3 pages.
All I got from this thread is:
1. BG can’t handle anyone claiming the aren’t best
2. BG hates YB
3. YB embraces BG hate (proud of you YB really channeling your inner Mag)
4. JQ is this random server who just exists
5. BG claims to never ppt or use any siege (which we all know is lies since they don’t loose by all that much)
6. everyone is afraid of the ET and FC bandwagon that is coming to T1!!!
7. People are abandoning BG.
8. BG lives in the former glory days like a washed up football player who peaked in high school.
And
9. BG wants to be “good friends” with JQ therefore they always drop to their knees whenever JQ wants them to.
10. BG can never do anything on their own without JQ. JQ is the master. BG is the slave. End of story…. boo hoo.
I also would like to see gliding implemented in WvW. Especially for the “vertical maps” it would make a lot of sense and it would be a refreshing new way of combat. It also would solve some major issues with the current meta.
Will gliding be implemented into WvW? I hope.
To control the “tag-teaming” of the top 2 servers which are JQ and BG – atm – Limit their online numbers to 50 per server. In this way even if they “tag-team” they will not be able to put up the numbers (together) to dominate the server. Problem solved.
FA dominated T2 for most of the winter and spring, bottom line. There was no need to have a tag team partner. FA did fine alone. That doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen. I’m sure with all the $10.00 alts some friends would have made deals at odd times but to say it never happened would be as silly as saying SOS was FA’s slave.
Having SOS, DB, and YB made a nice T2 but FA should have moved up to T1 at least once to see how they would have faired. YB should be allowed to try their blob against JQs blob now as well.
The PPT was never that close on a regular basis. We won by substantial amounts so we weren’t eeking out 20 points per tick.
FA didn’t need any help from SOS, DB, or YB to win and who in this game can really make a deal and speak for the whole server. This isn’t JQ and BG on T1 keeping the glicko set.
Hmmm…. another FA person trying to make the case that FA did it all by themselves. Unfortunately that argument doesn’t hold. Without SoS, FA could never have the coverage they needed to dominate. They were strictly a blob mentality group – that is, they only knew how to win one way – through overwhelming numbers. Tactically and strategically they were inept as evidenced by the way YB ran rings around their large slow-moving blobs. They never made it to T1 through all their months of dominance. That says it all.
FA’s “domination” of T2 was a situation where the tick was something like this for most of the day:
250 – FA
230 – YB
215 – SoSwith SoS sometimes dipping below 200 but never for more than 1 or 2 ticks. During that period, YB and FA would switch places throughout the day, but mostly FA ticking around the 250 mark. It wasn’t until YB decided to do a hard PPT push that the tick changed to something like this since SoS didn’t have the numbers to compete:
300 – YB
300 – FA
95 – SoSAs annoying as the situation above was it’s still preferable to the current situation where YB is so bored they use their 60 man zerg to spawn camp 5-10 people with trebs and ballistae. The tick right now for most of the day is like this:
495 – YB
100 – FA
100 – SoS
Get your facts straight. SoS was FA’s tag team partner (or slave if you prefer the term). That’s how FA dominated for so long. SoS would never hit ANY FA keeps and they always supported FA’s cause. FA & SoS are now the joke of all the tiers. They are both getting what they so richly deserve.
Funny how all the complaining about YB being the dominant server in T2 now is coming from the exact FA folks who once dominated T2 for the past 6-8 months… Bite down hard FA ppl. What goes around comes around.
Guys i dont get it, first everyone qqs about other match ups and now they qq about being overpowered. Are you people never happy?
If your server gets overpowered, try to work together with the other server as part of the strategy to take the strongest one down.
No, you don’t get it. As an example, in Tier 2 FA has bought off SoS as well as farmed other servers for their players. As a result Tier 2 is in limbo. With FA at the top, YB in the middle and yup, you guessed it, SoS at the bottom of the barrel. It’s been like this for 6 months.
You have a tragedy of the commons problem so you need a higher authority. That would be Anet.
And there are a ton of things they can try, from the draconian no-transfers-ever, to rewarding transfers to smaller servers, to discouraging bandwagoning with high gem costs, to revising the PPT system, to changing map caps, to changing the ranking system, etc.
But they don’t even try. So yes, it is their fault.
Totally agree. There is no excuse for not trying something, anything to alleviate the issues in WvW. Either they are getting too rich over the transfer money to stop the bleeding or they simply don’t care. IMHO, IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY.
My advice, try SPvP. It’s fun, it’s casual, but most importantly, it’s as fair as is possible.
I have switched from WvW to PvP. The main reason is balanced fights. In WvW I had been playing against the same servers, same people, same guilds for the past 6 months. The tier 2 situation is the worst. FA and SoS vs YB. FA and SoS are pretty much the joke of WvW. They can’t do anything on their own so they team up. SoS has been in last place for the past 6 months. FA keeps trying to go to tier 1 but they aren’t good enough. It’s a terribly boring situation and we’re caught in the middle. The fights have become very predictable. Without regular/mandatory server rotations I believe WvW will slowly die out. That’s sad because it was such a promising game element.
I stopped playing GW2 for about a year, when now I have gotten back into it. The problem is, I feel like I am to weak in WvW, as if any player can simply kill me with ease. Wasn’t the whole point of WvW to auto-level everyone up to level 80 and make it pretty balanced, cause right now I feel like level 40 in WvW.
I am not saying the system is bad, in fact I find the GW2 WvW system one of the best, I am just wondering if anyone has any tips to improve my WvW gameplay?
Thank You!
I also experienced the same problems when I returned after several months. I was able to turn things around by upgrading all my gear to ascended. This has made an enormous difference. I run full zerker(thief) and am able to withstand a great amount of punishment. But I am also able to deal a tremendous amount of damage – at will. I can wipe 90% of the players on the field from casters to guardians. When I’m outnumbered I just disappear in a puff of smoke :-)
Personally, I would love to see FA try to push its way up just to get some spectator excitement, but let’s face it, T1 is a bit like cousins marrying cousins — if any T2 server “dares” to randomly roll that tier, it’s going to be a 2v1 smash fest. There’s almost zero hope of anyone else pushing and staying there.
FA can’t even distance itself from YB – and that’s with the help of SoS. To say that FA may cause some “excitement” in T1 is assuming they are as good on their own – which is laughable considering how they play in T2 – with their “partners”.
Warhammer was miserable. You could only go to the field that was currently contested, and because the battles were strictly between the two factions on your server you were always fighting the same people.
Predictably, this led to there always being a faction on a given server and PvD was so rampant that the game gained the moniker of “Doorhammer”.
This wouldn’t necessarily be the case if it went to 1v1 here because the server you fight against changes every week, but I imagine that all the serious WvW players would flock to a couple servers and it would become a worse version of the Ktrains we have now unless the top servers only played each other.
That being said, no I don’t want a 1v1 system. I like having the 3 ways we do now despite its imperfections. It definitely could be better and they need to give incentives to defense so we can stop PvD, but there are still some fun battles to be had and roaming is still enjoyable to me.
Warhammer was also hampered by certain individuals who deliberately stacked one side (chaos) with all the players so they could do their version of k-train every night. That said I do agree with your statement that 3 ways despite its imperfections is better than 1 v 1. If ANet would give the incentives and a better way to defend – a much better way – then I think some of the on-going issues could be resolved.
I’ve only been playing a year but this imbalance in WvW is getting on my nerves. It’s always 2 servers vs. 1. It’s never a fair fight. I realize that in this game there is no perfect scenario for a “fair” fight. But if WvW could be limited to 2 and only 2 servers I would think that this would bring about a more level playing field. It is unrealistic to think that having 3 servers compete would not encourage an alliance between 2 of the servers – it’s obviously logical. Discouragement of an alliance is a first step to rectifying the imbalance we now have on many servers.
FA tag teams with SoS. SoS has been in last place for the past 6 months. So much for alliances. FA cannot distance themselves enough from YB. If they ever get to T1 it will be a laugh – on them. If YB ever gets an even match with FA it’ll be YB that goes to T1… FA will be a memory.
Although I’m always up for a good laugh to be forced to laugh ALL DAY LONG is really annoying. I think the devs have really missed the point here. April Fool’s is a joke, in general, ONE JOKE on a person. Please end the joke and be adults. Many people play this game to relax – not to be frustrated. Your joke was a good one. Now let it go please!!!
