Guild Wars 2

Yeah, it does suck to just know that overnight you will lose 100% of the map. Really hurts to pay for those upgrades knowing that. But oh well, nothing we can do at this point.

In other news, we’ve been running across this group of botters from Darkhaven that just swim in a huge clump killing Quaggans. If anyone on Darkhaven sees them, please report.

Sounds like it’s time to merge some servers so everyone can have a queue and be happy. Then they can all complain about having a queue for WvW.

I would LOVE to always have a 15-30 minute queue on my server at any hour of the night. Do I want a 6-12 hour queue? No, but that’s why I didn’t join the bandwagon on of the most popular servers. But I would greatly prefer to wait a little bit and always have even numbers than roll the dice on possibly logging into a zone with 0% control and the sweet outmanned buff.

I’m cheering for you guys SF(SoR here), I know we’ll fight again someday soon, I’m looking forward to it

Not likely, unfortunately. I’m not sure if the rumors of a mass exodus last week are true or not but I was on tonight at 9:30PM with the undermanned buff in one of our zones and we held literally 0% in one of the others. We’re in last place and sinking like a rock. But good luck to you.

Are we going to be getting updated graphs of queue sizes?

I agree that the orbs should go.
I also agree with people who have favored some sort of point increase depending on number of players in the zone, so with fewer players the points per objective go up a certain extent. So if, for example, the populations are 100v100v5 (extreme I know), if the server with 5 people on somehow manages to hold onto a supply camp for an hour they should get a ton of points for it.

You would have to somehow also try to protect against exploiting it, so a server can’t take everything in a map and leave right before the point calculation, for example, but I’m sure there are ways around that.

That person just wants to believe that everyone transfered to SoR and that’s the only reason we’re winning. People will come up with excuses anytime they start losing.

Me? Sorry, but I’ve noticed a lot more undermanned buffs this week, even at decent times (like 9PM CST). What do you want me to say? I don’t mind what the scores and I’m not trying to make excuses, but it is what it is. I’d rather play Fort Aspenwood again and be ahead by 200,000 points but have a full zone. I hope that the theory that people are just taking a week off are true.

Too bad, but I would say SF has almost certainly either given up or our WvWvW population is dwindling. I was getting the undermanned buff last night at 9PM central time. It was a good fight last week, at least.

Also have to look at who those servers are playing as well? If a server that has almost 24/7 participation is against servers with similar numbers you would expect everyone’s scores to be closer. Consider 2 groups of wvwvw below (extreme examples)

A: 24/7 participation
B: Hardly any “night defense”
C: Hardly any “night defense”

D: 24/7 participation
E: 24/7 participation
F: Hardly any “night defense”

You would expect server A to dominate and have a ton of points, whereas servers D and E, splitting the potential points a bit more actually end up with a lower score. If this is how the rankings are based right now…purely by score (I don’t know)…you can see how this would be a problem.

dont worry about it bro, give it 4 days and everyone is back to WoW.

I mean my whole guild hate wow and are so fed up with it, but this game is worse than any fail i ever seen (even swtor) that they actually are going back.

well done on the “NO REWARD but pretty gear” system
well done on the "No Tank " Fail
WELL DONE on the “No raids”
and a big well done on WvWvW.

you should ask for a share of blizzard and bio for making their game seem so epic in comparison.

P.S Mods, before you delete this comment like you did with my other 10, THIS IS CONSTRUCTIVE criticism so your developers wake up and fix the game before its too late, but if you keep on deleting these comments, then you will be left with nothing but your fanboys telling you how wonderful this fail game is

Actually that’s not constructive at all. Honestly, can you point out one thing in that post that was constructive? It’s just a bunch of sarcastic “well dones.” What should be done differently? The complete opposite of everything you listed? I for one love that spvp is completely balanced gear. Also really enjoy wvwvw, even though there are clearly nightcapping problems that I’m sure they’re looking into as well.

Basically, you apparently have no idea what constructive criticism even is. Later (but not really because you’ll still be playing this game for quite a while I’m sure and then use it as an example of something that’s better than the next game you play).

I agree that it could help a bit to change the matchup priority to “queue overlap” followed by points. Obviously everyone has to be matched up to someone, but I’d personally rather be getting dominated by a server with similar populations logged in than dominated by a server while most of our population is sleeping/at work.

Maybe it could also help if somewhere from server selection you could see a link to these graphs so new players can see where the shortest queues will be for the playtime they’re usually going to be in.? At this point so many people have already found their home that it might be difficult.

Also agree with potentially letting guilds transfer with perks ONLY to servers with less queue times for a certain period if it’s feasible.
