Guild Wars 2

If you play Pink Floyd’s, “Us and Them” it synchronizes perfectly with this thread.

I would like Anet to set aside a map on each server. GvG map… Guilds or Individuals that want to participate in GvG are free to guest to any server for the intentions of GvG. Then we could have guilds from all servers fighting each other. This could eliminate the super stacking going on in the T1/T2 servers. There would be no need to transfer to other servers to find good GvG matchups. It could help even out the WvW population also.

Just a thought.

The whole nature of 3 servers fighting on the same maps makes it unfair/unbalanced from the start.

WvW isn’t fair… It’s not suppose to be. It’s about coverage. If you don’t have coverage, then recruit to the time slot. Lowering the player cap will do nothing but make people quit playing. I’m on Blackgate (been there since Headstart Weekend) and the only time we really have queues is on reset night. Most other times we have no queue unless our float team zones into the map.

Next up… Stopping the dreaded 2v1.

WvW needs new maps… Just dump the ones we have now and give us new maps. Or at least add maps… Give us a map that is fairly flat with no objectives in it… Call it the GvG map.

My guess is that the map he was queued for popped while he was stealthed and he vanished.

This guy really wants that veil. :P

How this guy doesn’t have 100 people following him around, I don’t know.

The finest example of Rage Commanding ever.

LOL

If JQ and TC were to get a few more guild transfers we could have a much better time. This would allow a little more randomness to the match ups week to week. Have 4 strong servers. I wish we could have like 5-6 real strong servers and the matchups would be pretty kitten good week to week. The past few weeks haven’t been that bad though. I like being able to run out into the maps at any time of the day and find fights.

All is full of love…

Sorry, wrong thread.

I wouldn’t call it cheating… “Ethically challenged” maybe but it’s certainly NOT cheating.

Anyway, I’m stuck at work… Can’t wait to start handing out bags to JQ and SoR cuz I lack skills.

Silence means security, silence means approval…

The funniest thing about all this Zoom Hack thing is… Nobody on SoR is condemning it… They just childishly excuse it because "Everyone else does it… "

Hahahaha… Love it.

And the winner for the best use of of Zoom Hack is?

I think I walked past the Occupy Blackgate Protests in LA today. So jealous of people who have gems. Yet they protest in their T3 Cultural Clothings….

Most of the time 2v1 is because of circumstance. People are like water, they almost always flow the path that offers the least resistance. Sure, there probably are servers that coordinate attacks and such but that’s just the nature of WvWvW. It’s frustrating at times when your server is on the receiving end of it but you have to keep fighting or it will never end.

Not really even if this is the case ( which it isn’t as I have it and can’t shot over a wall like that) lets humour the fact it is. This creates a un fair advatage to the people that do not have this ability, then again I have eyefinity and it still doesn’t alow me to do that. Although like I said nothign you can do about it, cause A Net will not punish them as the Dev’s supposedly play on that server so what have you. Way to go Arena Net

They are shooting through the gap on the door via Eyefinity. The whole unfair advantage thing this gives is bogus. People who can afford a larger field of view should play with a larger field of view. Nothing unfair about that. That is like saying people with the most up to date gaming rig has an unfair advantage over those with a toaster from 2001 due to lag/latency issues. Or those with a razer naga/g600 has a unfair advantage due to the readily available key binds.

Hate to break it to you, but the whole point of competitive gametypes (which wvw supposedly is) is to even the playing field as much as possible between all parties. This means each party has the same capabilities, with hardware affording ease of use, better visuals, etc., but not affording capabilities that is not accessible to other parties.

Right! everybody downgrade to Windows XP and a Pentium 4.

(I’m sure somebody is still using one and would appreciate a level playing field)

Apparently you misunderstood my point. Lower end hardware does not prevent you from performing actions that other players are capable of, though it may make it difficult. Without altered screen dimensions, it does not matter how kitten your processor and graphics card are, you will never be able to do this. Additionally, game developers try to cater to the lowest reasonable hardware specifications both to gain the largest market possible, and to prevent problems like this from arising for the vast majority of their playerbase. Why ANet allows zoom-unlocking in wvw is mind-boggling.

This is where you are wrong. A lower end hardware can prevent you from performing actions that other players are capable of. Some lower end hardware won’t even allow you to play the game!!! I mean what is this nonsense! I should be able to play the game with specs like these.
CPU: Motorola 68040 @ 25MHz
RAM: 2MB – 18MB onboard
Display: 256 colors at 1280 × 400
256,000 colors in HAM-8 mode
Ports: parallel, serial, floppy
RGB video, audio
Storage: 1.76M 3.5-inch floppy
120MB IDE HD
OS: AmigaDOS 3.1
“Workbench” GUI
If I can’t this is totally unfair.

The point I’m trying to make is, this is a part of the game. Rich or foolish people are able to improve their game play experience and A-net is even providing support for these people. There is countless QQ threads about this, some you can do without eyefinity, others you cannot. Guess what? A-net made NO comment on this, meaning, you guessed it. They aren’t going to do a kitten thing about it.
If they do something about it, it kittens with those peoples game play experience, if they don’t, it kittens other peoples game play experience. So yea, A-net boned themselves from the start.
So generalizing an entire server, or guild isn’t going to accomplish anything. If you really want to do something about it, bug A-net to change the AC mechanics to that of a cata or something along those lines.

I totally loved the Amiga… 20 years ago.

Did JQ and SoR take a break? What is going on?

I think SoR and JQ went to the movies to see the documentary about their messiah Indo… Man of Steel

What I would love to see is when we have more than one commander on the map that each commander’s icon be given a different color. To go one step further, maybe even give the commander’s icon’s color based on how many players are around them. I think it would make coordination and tactics easier. Splitting up a zerg into smaller groups would be nice to easily do.

Thoughts?

not getting crushed 3 months in a row. not looking at the graph and seeing the same team own 80% of it every week.

I understand what you want… I think a decent solution would be for Anet to apply a handicap to each server based on the server’s population and performance in WvW. Like they do in bowling and golf. I could live with that.

What is the big deal what color the server is? Green just means they won the most points the week before. I’ve seen Blue servers own entire maps. I’ve seen Red servers own entire maps. What is the problem? If your server is getting owned then you have a few choices… #1 – Get more people involved in WvW on your server. #2 Get a few guilds to move to your server. #3 Move yourself to another server. It’s a competition… WvW is about competition and having fun.

It doesn’t actually work this way. Green is the server that has the highest rating, and is thus the strongest, in that tier. A green server could lose a week but have enough rating points to stay green the next week. So it’s not anti-green sentiment, we’re just saying that the green server has, by far, the best chance of winning the tier every week, and unless you are on a green server, you are likely to lose several weeks in a row.

Sometimes the blue or red team pulls it together for a week and wins. Before Jan 28th it usually coincided with large guild transfers.

I stand corrected… Learn something new everyday.

If they stopped giving Badges of Honor in the Chests of the jumping puzzles that are located in WvW maps, you would have more people involved in the REAL WvW. Thus giving you a better chance to compete. Make people BATTLE for the Gift of Battle because that is all a lot of them are there for. A piece needed for their Legendary.
