Guild Wars 2

willwill.9318:

Is it still pointless to WvW? Meaning, no actual progression? Or just ole alterac valley battleground instance over and over each week?

Can we see kill spam yet? Can we see players names? Is there a way to advance your character in WvW?

Or is it just a battleground amusement park still ?

Still battleground amusement part, next big patch is full PvE and hopefully after that ANET will start focusing on PvP aspects of the game.

So whats going on with FSP since Russians left for Blacktide

Weekend is over and Seafarer’s Rest in on top.
Score at 9:00 CET: http://i.imgur.com/oFbtO.jpg

p.s. When it comes playing against to national server its always pain due double teaming and its natural.

agentsumo.6159:

Come to Desolation EU!

why would they move to full server ?

whats with this topic dont see anything …

ON Sefarer’s Rest we have community Team Speak going on.
http://www.pevepe.net/gw2forum/m/6083582/viewthread/4758259-team-speak-3-read-me-access

p.s. Most of WvW focused players and guilds are using it now.

Getting back on track.

SFR’s COMMUNITY TEAM SPEAK PROJECT.

For all WvW focused players: http://www.pevepe.net/gw2forum/m/6083582/viewthread/4758259-team-speak-3-read-me-access

Over 200 players daily cooperating on same Team Speak in public or their own sub channels.

GET YOUR EVENTS SCHEDULED

Webley.1295:

SFR, best medium Server in the world – However its also frustrating some times offpeak for aussie players!!

What do you mean ?

For all SFR players if you are WvW focused make sure you join community TS every time you are in WvW. http://www.pevepe.net/gw2forum/m/6083582/viewthread/4758259-team-speak-3-read-me-access

We have a project going from last Friday and so far a lot of WvW focused guilds and players are being on community TS all the time during WvW. ( 200+ players daily )

Guilds/Teams can either be in public map channels or make their own subchannels.
( everyone can make them no special permissions needed )

p.s. Thanks to Kodash and Augury we have some nice fights

Is there a region that does not “participate” in daylight savings

03.11.2012
I must say that tonight we had awesome community meeting on Seafarer’s Rest where most of serious guilds that participated agreed on using same Team Speak 3 when doing WvW.

Its 1:47 AM … good 30 minutes after score reset, SFR have 300 points and we have over 200 players on Community Team Speak, with over 10 guilds across all map’s.

Despite being medium server who lost a lot of players ( most servers did ) I think we will provide good fight’s to all our opponents.

I hope its get fixed sooner then Orb’s where.

Cradorell.3941:

Hello, Elite officer and commander of RiOT here. I will be at this meeting as will some of my fellow officers. Let me know the details or mail me in game. is that 2200 gmt?

Its 22:00 CET http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/europe/european-union/central-european-time/

TEAM SPEAK 3
IP: 195.95.158.120:9987
PASSWORD: qqmore

The plan is to make sure that all serious WvW guilds are on same community Team Speak 3 server ( in their own guild sub channels that can be created by anyone on the fly )

With that we can assure much better organization especially during off times as all players who join TS3 can see exactly how many players our server have per map.

Phoenix.3416:

Maybe you should bring that up at your meeting, you just managed to ruin your servers reputation to me and my community.

Good to know and it will be mention for sure, can you please PM me info who did what as Iam really against such behavior. ( we banned some users on our community forums that were spamming members of other guilds to join their guild etc… )

We will keep doing our best to make sure our community stays clean.

On the side note, we restructured our Community Team Speak so guilds have their own subchannels within battleground maps

Example:
Eternal Battlegrounds channel
*[Guild 1 subchannel]
*[Guild 2 subchannel]
*Red Borderlands
**[Guild 3 subchannel]
etc…

If you are interested in joining Seafaer’s Rest Server make sure that your guild representative is participating in tonight’s community meeting where server status and organization will be discussed.

+1 for desolation yesterday we had some nice fight during prime time

I really hope arena does something about getting free score’s in “off times”.

Seafarer rest had over 10K above Kodash in Saturday night and Sunday morning it was down to 2K due “night capping” from Sunday to monday morning they got 10K score above SF.

The problem is not night capping the problem is getting the score when there is no fight. The system should promote getting scores ONLY WHEN there is a fight.

So if there are night squads fighting over objectives they should get scores but capping objectives on empty maps and then getting score on same empty maps for hours and hours its just plain stupid.

You mean like this: http://www.pevepe.net/gw2forum/m/6083582/viewthread/4493938-orb-hack-cocobloco4617-edwardus-maximus

When player dies it would great he drops all of supplies he have on him.

Dunno fighting Deso yesterday night and at today’s morning I did not saw outmaned buff on either players in Kodash borderlands or Eternal Battlegrounds so zones are packed with players.

Well i guess they decided to wipe easiest enemy first before proceeding to fight each other

p.s. Iam kidding and I can feel your pain.

+1 orbs should be disabled or at least remove all the buffs they give.

Ruggy.7819:

they hacked and got 3 orbs without any effort

Lol stop with bullkitten, yes one lame hacker did take one orb and we excluded him from our community, put him on Wall of Shame: http://www.pevepe.net/gw2forum/m/6083582/viewthread/4493938-orb-hack-cocobloco4617-edwardus-maximus .. Banned him from all public team speak’s and will make sure he does not get spot in any of decent guilds on our server.

At 8:00 AM CEST Seafarer’s Rest did not hold the orbs and lost most of them maps so whats with the outcry.

p.s. In last week we did get one medium sized 50 members/ US server transferring to SF and they made quite big impact already. So our opponents do not do Player vs Gate anymore.

When it comes to Kodash we already had 1 week match against them and you can see in our daily reports how much they were loosing during prime time and the score’s they got were from nigh capping : http://www.pevepe.net/gw2forum/m/6083582/viewforum/1723100

Don’t think the problem is in how you calculate the rating, the problem is how the score’s are gained.

The major flaw is giving the score for objectives when there is NO PvP, so this is the thing that need’s to get back on drawing board.

What’s happening on majority of servers now:

You have strong server’s that during prime time ( according to your own graphs you can see what prime time is ) steamroll’s both enemies as they really should not be in the same bracket’s with them.

So whats the result, the server’s that are loosign badly and i mean badly do not have any fun in WvW so after few days that start to give up on WvW. The server that is winning have really boring time as there is no challenge and owning majority of map again during prime time when most people are online is just meh …

So why does this happen ?
Because in most cases you will have few yes few .. check graphs again players running from 2:00am on and getting objectives and keep them during night to gain score for their server.

I dont think when you guys designed WvW you meant to award same amount of points if there is 0 player’s on map.

Balance wise the off time capper’s are screwing the majority of other players as they move them up the bracket where they will just loose badly.

So rather then checking and rechecking how to do rating .. repair the scoring.

We are looking for more guild’s to start participating in scheduling their event’s as quite few are doing amazing job on the map’s they are.

If our other bigger guild’s knew where you guys are we could go and support our other map’s more.

The main problem we now have is that if 3 or 4 strong and organized guilds end up on same map we steamroll the enemies and them WvW because boring as hell.

Show some initiative by letting community know where you plan to be present.

We are also working on organizing the current guild’s and community to cover the “off times” as every guild have at least few who could play past 1:00 am during week and morning’s while the rest are in school school/work.

So during that time join Community Team Speak and kick some kitten together.

A player should be automatically removed from group when they disconnect.

If a player in group disconnects there is no way to remove it and you need to recreate group if you want to have 5 players team.

Please show guild members on the map with different color ( eg gold) and ability to see their name when you hoover over it. ( same functionality as if they were in group .. just different color )

I guess its being mention countless of times but please with current system of WvW upgrades its insane not to have such basic feature.

Please provide guild leader ability to set the tax in % so whenever members receive some gold from kills / objectives etc.. ( NOT TRADES ) like 0% —- 20%

Halvaard.1034:

It’s baffling when games come out these days and are missing key community control components…

Yea I dont mind bugs its normal, but I must say some of the basic features are missing in GW 2.

I really hope they can step up and start fixing such minor things like UI.

I must say that current G guild roster is really lacking of important things like:

- Ability to kick offline members ( insane it seems its impossible to kick offline members )
- Seeing member last login time ( so those who quit game without informing the guild could be removed )
- A simple checkbox show online only so you can sort them after by name, profession etc..

Please let one of the UI desinger check any MMO out there and implemnet basic roster at least.

p.s. Having complete history and custom guild ranks is great.

Consider removing upgrade cost and make it automatic after objective ( supply camp/tower/keep/castle ) is hold for XX amount of time it start to upgrade to next level. The supply requirement of course should still be there.

For example our guild is wasting lots of gold daily, upgrading most of objective ( SM upgrade is 3g+ ) only to loose it during night capping. So spending around 10g+ daily is really not acceptable.

The upgrades are something that should not be depended by one character BUT all server.

If needed for money sink make some other like more expensive repair cost.

p.s. Dying in WvW should ALWAYS give repair cost .. I saw bunch of players that rather do suicide jumping from cliff’s when being chased just to avoid repair cost

To provide better organization and shave off some of the que times we have WvW Event manager for all SF Guilds available here: http://www.pevepe.net/gw2events

You can also see daily reports what was going on in WvW here: http://www.pevepe.net/gw2forum/m/6083582/viewforum/1723100

We also have real time WvW chat here: http://www.pevepe.net/gw2chat

If your guild is still not part of community register it here: http://www.pevepe.net/gw2forum/m/6083582/viewthread/4240364-seafarers-rest-guilds-intro-leadersofficers

The fact is that scoring need’s to change ..

Getting score just by holding an objective is not acceptable .. eg if you do not fight for it do not get score for it.

EU servers should reset at 20:00 CENTRAL yes let me repeat CENTRAL European time .. by putting it at 00:00 UTC its basically 2:00 AM at CET ( well CEST time )

Hmm found out something really bad

AoE splash damage going through doors is something we’ve been looking at, but there’s not much we can do to change how it works.

p.s. I hope Anet get some more capable coder’s as if they can not fix bugs then …

Placing weapons like catapults that should into the gate doing massive damage to enemies on the other side is really ridiculous and should be fixed asap.

There is a CAP of 6 commanders per map.
When player join a commander eg his squad he do not see other commanders on map.
If there are 7 or more commanders on map the 6 that have most players in squad will be the one visible other wont.

SF sux … long ques during prime time eg 18:00 -00:00 CENTRAL EUROPEAN TIME and constantly getting owned from night till afternoon.

btw let’s take TV prime time definition

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prime time or primetime is the block of broadcast programming during the middle of the evening for television programing.

The term prime time is often defined in terms of a fixed time period—for example, from 19:00 to 22:00 (Central and Mountain Time) or 20:00 to 23:00 (Eastern and Pacific Time) (7 p.m. to 10 p.m. or 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.).
————————————————————————————————————————————

Basically the prime time is defined when majority of people will have time to use it for their hobby activities eg : wont have work, will put children to sleep, wont be in school, wont study, wont be doing outside activities etc…

There is a reason the TV is put in their best show’s/movies during that time as it expected for people to have time to watch it.

So in EU case with different timezone it would be unfair to define prime time from 20:00 to 22:00 CET so we add +2 hours in each direction to cover other timezones as well.

The fact is that majority of people with job’s wont be playing much past 00:00 their time and wont be back before 16:30/17:00.

Now if they have familes they wills pend time with them, eat lunch, play with kids etc so they will probably log between 19:30/20:00 play for 2-4h and go to sleep.

I think some should just accept the fact that there is such thing as PRIME TIME and others should accept that their server will loose against those servers that have people from US/Canada/Oceanic ones.

Even server with more mature community will loose against ones that have most kids and students on eg .. players will job’s are coming past 17:00 .. students will play even during mornings, kids will come from school around 13:00 etc…

However ALL of above have SAME PRIME TIME eg the time when majority will be online

Step number one should be:
- disable free transfers to all high/medium servers
- announce that free transfers will be disabled from 01.October 2012
- announce that price for transfer will be 50 € ( and only possible on low/medium servers)

The whole guilds would quickly start to think about if its really worth staying in few hours ques and decide to transfer fast.

iHaukka.2815:

Well this explains kinda well why Vizunah is on the top and why we (Desolation) are getting ourkitten kicked

Well if they beat you during prime time it does not explain anything as you all have max players in borderlands ..

As for their French Canadian players capping everything during night .. thats another story.

During prime time the servers with less ques should be the top one if the guilds they have on are any good as that means you got majority of players in.

Having 200+ ques only mean you cant get all your members on the same map eg worse gameplay.

Jakula.1072:

I dont understand people who complain about the queues. There are plenty of servers that never seem to have full queues. Creating more servers won’t fix the issue as people transfer to the server that they see winning, so the new servers will never get a large enough world vs world population.

Transfers to full server should be prevented and transfer to low servers should be awarded.

Thanks for official reply, I hope you wont squeeze even more players on same map’s as it feels a bit overcrowded even now.

You dont have to be genius to figure it out..

ADD MORE SERVERS
( also guilds should be allowed to keep all upgrades they made )

MARK SERVER IS FULL AT 15.000 accounts not 40.000+

That does not mean add 3 new server NO triple the number of current server from 51 to 153 and that will fix the ques the most.

Maps are designed for 500 and thats should not be changed… no one want WvW map with 2000 players on as they are to small.

IMO even 500 on same map is to much .. more server, less players per map ( less invisible enemies )

Guild Wars 2 breaks the two million sales mark

So if all 51 available gw2 servers had equally distributed players that would be around 40.000 per server. ( 2.000.000 / 51 = 39.215 )

Each WvW map supports up to 500 players and maybe with recent improvements 600 per map aka 200 players per server. So with 4 maps that’s 800 concurrent players per server, so basically even if out of 40.000 players per server only 20% plays at same time thats 8.000 players -> so out of those 20% only 10% will be able to join while the rest will wait in ques for hours and hours ?

Please consider rechecking your strategy cause you are betraying players but not doing anything as the fact is even if everyone is distributed equally we wont have 5, 6h ques but 1, 2h and imo thats still unacceptable.

The alternative is doing nothing for couple of more week’s and wait for players to get fed up and quit.

Well there are flaws for sure with purposed system however getting score the whole map on empty map is …

/sign

No more bothering with google docs speadsheets etc…

p.s. Any serious guilds will have tax implemented as the costs of commander manuals, tower/keep upgrades and siege weapons should be the guild effort if its not then sorry its not a guild but a chat window.
