Guild Wars 2

The server population is its total population. It won’t become “unfull” until someone transfers off.

Hard to get oceanic players when your server is full.

Oh, I’m happy. Just thought maybe it would be a move in the right direction.

Guess not.

Khristophoros.7194:

OP, do you realize how little it would change your situation?

Let’s analyze this.

You want to be on a T1 server, but your wife wants to be on a roleplaying server.

You think that a roleplaying server cannot be in T1.

I assume that you and your wife want to play on the same server, otherwise you could just switch to a T1 server.

In the hypothetical scenario that there’s a dedicated official RP server, your wife goes there. According to you, this server will not be T1, so you wouldn’t want to join her there.

Remember, you can switch to a T1 server if either you are willing to play on a different server from your wife, or if your wife is willing to switch with you and not RP anymore.

So how would your situation be any different?

My wife doesn’t roleplay in Guild Wars.

Also, I can see by the replies in this thread that I seem to be the only person that would rather work and feel good about grabbing a tier 1 slot, instead of just becoming one by transferring.

:lol:

That’s mean.

Aside from the selfish aspect of my post, an official roleplaying server would still be nice.

You all put up some excellent points. I didn’t really consider what people like to do and what people don’t like to do. I guess I’d just like to grow up to be just like the big guys, without just transferring to be one.

Yeah, because plopping myself into one of the top servers and then staying there surely is a lot more fun than actually working on getting there with effort.

How is that so different from when you switched from Eredon to TC in the first place?

When I got here, we were in tier 5. We’ve come a long way.

We didn’t need constant coverage in tier 3, because we were mostly like tier 3.

Have you logged in early in the morning and seen Blackgate holding 9/10 of the WvW BGs? 620 points versus everyone else’s 30? We need that kind of presence to compete, but can’t because the server is full of non-competetors.

Spend more time on TC and less time in the overflow to see the bad blood. People are getting roleplayers banned for inappropriate conduct, even though they’re just roleplaying: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Tarnished-Coast-vigilanties/first

Also read the WvW threads of the past and see how much the server complains about the roleplayers. Though there are some roleplayers that play in WvW (talk like pirates, arrrrr).

Rustypipes,

If there were an official server for the roleplayers to romp in, it would also solve some issues with the non-RPers and those that do. There’s some serious bad blood on Tarnished Coast. It would be better for everyone.

You sound severely concerned about the other 18 servers. Why don’t you go campaign for them?

Hop on over to Tarnished Coast for a week and drop by Divinity’s Reach and other major cities. You’ll see what I mean by hundreds of people not competing.

It sure would be nice to free up a thousand slots to allow players of all timezones to help us.

Greetings,

I hail from Tarnished Coast, and I’d like to ask for some input about adding an official roleplaying server.

First off: I don’t mind roleplayers at all. In fact, my wife loves to roleplay, but Tarnished Coast being the “unofficial roleplaying server” puts us at a severe disadvantage of competing in the world vs. world ladder.

I originally started out on Eredon Terrace, but wanted to be able to play in large-scale WvW battles. On ET, that wasn’t possible because our server suffered some major exoduses of top-notch guilds (Fury of Order, and a few others). Tarnished Coast has come a long way and we have eventually made it into Tier 2, something I didn’t think would ever happen…

It was very clear very quickly that we were outnumbered in our tier, and likely don’t belong in Tier 2 at the moment. The presence that Blackgate and Sanctum of Rall have is amazing compared to us…Complete 24/7 coverage, or overnight coverage which we don’t have.

Now I’m not saying that the roleplayers ruin this aspect, per se…but with a constant flow of roleplayers wanting to fill our ranks, our server rarely stays vacant but for a few moments.

I know this sounds selfish, but I’d really like to keep climbing that ladder. It feels good.

Greetings.

Lately I’ve noticed a few things:

1) Zojja’s helmet is missing!

2) Many areas in Orr, there are “invisible objects” that you can run into and have to walk around, even though there’s nothing in your way. I couldn’t find a screenshot for these, but I have noticed them mostly in Malchor’s Leap.

3) The vista near Triumph Plaza has had its mushrooms disappear. I have heard that environment detail settings are to blame for this one, and have adjusted them accordingly—still no mushrooms. If you hadn’t known they were there, the vista would be impossible to get.

~Nyari Cil, Queen of EB

Well said, but I don’t think complaceny is all to blame.

I guess we’ll see how it goes.

So there’s a lot of talk about why we won’t succeed in T2, and I think I’ve found the answer to why:

Worthless commanders.

Sugar Packet was rockin’ the game before s/he stepped down to build trebs at SMC, and for the sake of asbestos, some “other” commanders took over throwing rocks at a titanium hull. I spent almost 3 hours defending Anz, upgrading the tower, escorting yaks from Speldan, you know…Something we ought to all do.

It was only 10% away from reinforced doors and it came under heavy treb fire from FA. 20 minutes later and an FA failure at trebbing from the vista, it was breeched. Repeated calls for help were ignored by this commander because you can’t “defend all over the map”. That’s not the point. Chucking rocks at CD’s keep while FA is hurling frozen boulders at our reinforced location is completely unnecessary.

This is why we won’t succeed in T2. Defend a tier 1 tower close to the CD base that you’re chucking rocks at, versus coming to defend a reinforced tower that’s only a waypoint away.

I commend Kerrick and his Elementalist friend for attempting to take out the FA treb @ OL (which was entirely doable, and was stated multiple times in team chat, but ignored by that certain commander).

Yeah, I’m a little kitten, but you can count me out of T2 when we have people that don’t have a map-wide team mentality.

Sigh. Third graders writing the ToS.

Fine, fine. I’ll behave.

We have some of the best hide-and-seek Mesmers I’ve ever seen. I can’t remember his name, but it has a J in it, and it’s J’s Mesmer, but I rememeber fighting in the Yak borderlands two weeks ago, and we snuck into Etheron Hills MULTIPLE times because every time Yak’s took it back, they didn’t sweep good enough.

It was hilarious. Eventually they found and killed him, but it was an amazing three hours of portal trickery.

I need to learn how to do this better.

Evening update:

Score update! Hooray!

Exciting new match this week after three weeks of the same contenders!

We are sad to see Yak’s Bend go.
Will Tarnished Coast continue its winning streak?
Will Fort Aspenwood continue dominating after internal drama slowed them down?
Will Jaldy and Kendyl Malkov ever get Cliffside for 100% world completion?

Tune in to find out!

I wish. :\ I’ve been waiting for Cliffside for 3 weeks.

We could totally let YB have TC’s battleground, their own battleground, and take over FA’s battleground! Yeah!

Some quick math!

It’s currently 9:45 CST. If the points are tallied every 15 minutes, that leaves:

15*1 = 10:00
15*4 = 11:00
15*4 = Noon
15*4 = 13:00
15*4 = 1400
15*4 = 1500
15*4 = 1600
15*4 = 1700
15*4 = 1800
15*4 = 1900 >> 7pm CST (when the battle is over, right?)

Let’s say Yak’s Bend had every capture point out there. That’s 695 or 700 points, right? For the sake of math, we will use 700.

37 possible tallies as of this moment X 700 points = 25,900 points. Totally skewed scenario, but they would have a chance at winning over FA.

Now, let’s say they keep an average of 350 points the entire day, with FA keeping 200 points. TC already won this match (hur hur), so they get the lowest at 150.

Yak’s Bend @ 350 * 37 = 12950
FA @ 200 * 37 = 7400

Current tallies as of this post:

TC = 264,820 – 295
FA = 168,929 – 300
YB = 158,491 – 100

FA adding 7400 points to their estimated total: 184,000
YB adding 12950 points to their estimated total: 183,000

Technically, they have a chance…

I’m not good enough at maths to find out how much they’d have to hold on average for the rest of the day, though…so good luck YB!

Excuse me, the Human Guardian.

All I need is Cliffside for my 100% world completion, and you RUINED IT! Of course, I shouldn’t be complaining because I’m in a hostile zone, but I had 2 or 3 people leaving me alone and dancing with me in town clothes while you knocked down that wall.

I am very sad right now. LOOK AT WHAT YOU’VE DONE!

To the Human Protector in [Soul] Curse of the Pharaoh’s at Cliffside a few moments ago.

You suck.

Love,
Jaldy

You may also call me THE CLIFF CAMPER.

<3 to all you guys I’ve knocked off cliffs tonight!

To the robed underwater dude in FA BG as of this post…<3

Jaldy (the underwater Warrior)

Holy. Crap.

Getting pushed out of YB BG by both Yak’s and FA hurt. A lot. However, it was hella fun.

I guess maybe it’s just a class issue. I need a target and LoS to be able to knock over my assassin.

Yeah. I can knock down every single person with my hammer as a Warrior except the stealth thief.

Berkut made a good point though: In PvP en masse, I don’t think it’s a big deal, but in 1v1 or 2v1 or any small-scale battles, it really doesn’t make much sense that a thief can mop up the competition with just a few seconds of stealth, while his teammates continue thinning out the numbers.

Yep. I’m whining—but I would like an answer. I know any offensive action breaks stealth, so why doesn’t stealth break until the hammer’s been dropped? Maybe beginning an execution should be considered a hostile action? Or is this intentional?

Before I came to Tarnished Coast, I was on Eredon Terrace. It was pretty hot for a couple of weeks, and then some internal drama caused FOO and some other top-tier guilds to scatter to other servers. What’s happening now mirrors it almost exactly, and I fear that with the way GW2 is, it will never cease.

Doesn’t matter who joins who, what loyalties are what—as long as you’re having fun playing a video game that you paid for with your money.

Thanks Deyja, Aaynhe, all the Mesmers portalling, and everyone else for the excellent time this morning in EB!

TC – 169,479 – 320
YB – 124,901 – 115
FA – 123,041 – 260

Wow, patience is a virtue (or just logging on at the right times).

I was able to complete EB 100% this morning thanks to an awesome commander and sub-commander (feeding us golems, yay!)

3 weeks of the same servers…I fear it will happen again this week.

Greetings!

I’ve been sitting at 99% world completion for about 3 weeks now, with only WvW zones to finish. It’s been very difficult trying to get the rest of the points of interest and vistas that I need to finally defeat this monster…but the only reason I’m having trouble is: My realm doesn’t do anything exciting in WvW.

All the commanders do is run in circles, back-cap, re-flip, and zerg around. I realize that all this is important to protecting your score in WvW, but we have been facing the same three servers the last three weeks, and I doubt that I’ll ever get close to completion soon.

If the teams happpen to change, do our “starting positions” change as well? If not, what’s the best course of action? Server transfer and wait a week to come back?

Any tips from 100% World Explorers? Thank you!

Jaldy

Sure was fun last night, protecting a tower from a dual-treb assault from Yak’s SM. Worked on it for about an hour until people started regurgitating generalized orders.

Anyway, those were some good fights at Danelon and back. Good stuff, FA.
