Guild Wars 2

You lose glicko points based on how badly you got beat by your opponents factoring your opponent’s glicko rating. The smaller the difference in glicko rating the less points transferred. Couple in the fact that Mag is locked in Gold, it may take a while.

Last season a certain server with bronze level player participation got stuck in silver for more than 3 months as it did not fall in glicko rating fast enough due to its formerly high rating despite its actual lack of WvW participation at the time.

We as individuals from whatever Tier, Server or guild can together try to raise awareness just by putting on pink colors for the entire month of October

Just out of curiosity, did:
1. Kevin Ehmry go to Ehmry Bay?
2. Mike Ferguson to Ferguson’s Crossing? and
3. Chris Whiteside to Whiteside Ridge?

The grenades are seriously OP but I think I’d like to see how people react to it over a longer period of time.

It’s the bane of point blank siege such as flamerams and wall hugging catapults but this has in turn lead to people improvising strategies against it such as more frequent resort to golems, staggered deployment of siege and deflection skills once they see someone waving around that green flare.

How about if an opponent is staked on the field by someone with outmanned buff the former cannot be revived and must return to a WP.

Bad enough with the numbers, do we have to keep worrying about dead guys being power revived too?

Sorry about your guild moving to Archeage but who knows maybe like a lot of other guilds that tried other games they may return to GW2

In the mean time, being from DR I think you have an idea of how better the opportunity and competition for solo roaming is in T5, T6 and T7 as opposed to your current tier.

I would like to invite you to take a look at the http://www.sanctumofrall.com/ which currently sits in T6. We are currently in a tight race with DH and GoM for the top spot in bronze and the server activity is round the clock and competition fierce!

From Solo duels on the field and the weekly “fight clubs” to open field battles and Zerg busting SoR is a good destination for a variety of WvW activities with the added option of scheduled PvE/PvX stuff for easy gold, commendations and prizes.

IMHO the SoR community currently has a consistent dedicated presence in all Time zones and with the recent changes enough to cover our EB corner and home BL during OCX and SEA, at this point what we need are players that can spearhead forays into enemy territory and perhaps act as rapid reactionary forces when opponents attempt to blob our fortifications.

Good timing coming back! Our community is in a very tight race for the top spot in Bronze for S3. This match up with DH and GoM has proven to be very competitive and enjoyable.

Also SoR is currently an excellent place for old players to get back in the groove and for new players to explore that gaming format of GW2, that most of us at first found intimidating, but eventually found enjoyably addictive!

One of the older guilds of SoR reorganized and under a new name, Rogue Agents is now a recognized presence in its own right in SoR WvW that’s really good at what it does

SoR currently sits in the Tier on top of Bronze, where the quality and variety of fights are excellent, and the queues fairly short during peak times such as reset and non existent during normal hours.

Currently SoR is able to hold its own in a neck and neck race with silver worthy GoM and Solid T6 guild DH for the title of King of bronze. The status quo however is fragile and even just one more guild can make the difference!

Come join the fight with the Sanctum of Rall Community! Solo Duelists, Teamplayers, Tower Wardens and new players are welcome and a variety of scheduled activities and events await!

GoM vs. DH vs. SoR has so far proven to be a well balanced match up so far And the variety of fights be it solo roamers or organized groups have been very enjoyable. Though quite frankly i’m amazed how we’re able to most of the time turn away those GOM map blobs when they come out.

One of the most flexible and efficient 10+ groups on the field, they play a vital part of keeping the home BL the right color with their experienced and effective gameplay!

IMHO Anet’s stand is perma stealth is here and its here to stay so i’d suggest a large increase in the duration of the reveal debuff. If the thief is really good he can overcome anything to make his stealth build work but by increasing the duration you raise the risks if or when the thief makes mistakes.

I’d like to suggest that disabled golems also be immobilized for 20 seconds or that the pilot be forcibly ejected and the Golem unridable for the duration of the effect.

T6 is a contest of skills, organization and sheer determination! Competitive indeed for as of posting T6 is the most closely contested Tier with each community maintaining PPTs within striking distance of each other and less than 1000 points from taking the lead! At this point a single guild transfer would shift the balance of power!

Come join our community at SoR where every player counts! Be it the Roamers who duel worthy foes and ambush the unwary, Team players raiding and versing in competitive open field or Zerg busting fights and the Wardens who scout from sieged up towers & keeps to fend off many times their number.

There’s fun and room for everyone in the Sanctum of Rall!

Would be nice to maybe have a longer de-spawn time for superiors at least, maybe 2 hours?

Just read it and its cool to know that “Rall” is also a character in the GW2 universe!

For your consideration: http://www.sanctumofrall.com/

In T6; 5+ players makes a havoc squad, 10+ players is a guild group and 20+ is a map zerg. This makes it ideal for you to be able to find and fight groups of similar numbers without getting zerged (Though you might encounter an uplevel/karmatrainer blob of 40+ on occasion!).

SoR has reasonably good coverage with its primarily NA and very active die-hard non-NA crews, an organized and coordinated community (Weekly pre-reset meetings, TS, participation feature, etc.), integrated PvE/WvW events (Community Tequatl/guild missions followed by WvW) and a nice rotation of relatively unzergy opponents.

You can pay us a visit at our website and maybe join one of our PvE events and comms to get a feel if the SoR community is the WvW community for you.

The SoR Community aims to create the best playing environment for all as Hardcore WvWers, PvE casuals and flexible PvXers have come together to run server wide events in PvE, WvW and Server forums.

For those who like a good dose of PvE, story and farming; our guilds run events such as but not limited to daily Tequatl, bi-weekly server community guild mission runs and even special server wide activities such as “Tier 5 in Dry top” for farming.

SoR WvW is cooperative and non-toxic. We do not currently have the coverage of much higher ranked servers at the moment but you can rest assured that when you log on there will be tags leading the growing Rallian presence which has welcomed its new friends who have been looking for a good community to permanently call home and old friends trickling back from long breaks or from upper tiers who just missed the good times they had in the community.

SoR generally does not provide funding for transfers but does instead reward participation in Server community activities such as rewards with raffle prizes such as full armor sets (periodically) and even legendaries (GTA) as we want to encourage players to enjoy the game.

And a welcome back to some old timers too! nice to have you guys back!

Nice stress free environment and with a lot of helpful people, good place for casual and hardcore players alike to hang around with friends and enjoy the game

See some players who are Choo here and there though last I heard the guild itself retired from active raiding a few months back.

Good luck to you! hope you find a server good for your timezone

Welcome back, or what’s that phrase? Mabuhey?!

Could you tell us if you prefer to stay in NA or move to EU? also what time zone you will be playing in as coverage varies a lot in the different servers.

Fought NSP before and its a nice choice, though i suggest you also keep in mind what time zone you will mostly be playing in

That’s not a problem in EotM, its a way of life in EotM.

I suggest you try going into regular WvW as those green players are probably there either because:
1. They overpowered their opponent in regular WvW; or
2. They got overpowered by their opponent in regular WvW

But if you are in EotM for bags I suggest that you just guest to dry top in an active server as this would be more profitable at the moment.

Why did the moa cross the metrica road?

On changes since you’ve been gone, in PvE they nuked L.A., woke a new Dragon, opened up Maguuma (ongoing), and changed how living world works, etc.

Mechanicswise dyes don’t drop out of plants anymore but theirs a stockpile of the stuff in TP anyways, then they changed how your character skins work.

In PvP they changed the system of rewards and now you can get stuff usable for PvE and WvW now but got rid of most of the PvP specific stuff including the currency, plus there’s the new track which is nice.

In WvW Season 2 came and went giving ho-hum “prizes”, a good number of “balancing” (aka nerfing) came about so you better update your build as necessary, Some changes to WvW based skills and looks like they’ll grant resets for that every pre-season.

BTW if you missed out on stuff such as certain skins, nodes, etc. you can get them from a merchant in LA (for a price of course). Welcome back!

Thanks! I’ll look it right up. Any other suggestions though?

Been encountering a lot of roamers in WvW using hacks like auto-heals (even in downed states without rallying out of nothing) and multi hits (combat chat registers multiple damage hits in one hit) lately in our tiers.

I’m not requesting that ANET do anything about it as i’m sure their too busy but can anyone suggest any easy to use and free software to record these for posterity?

Thanks in advance!

Long story (which is in the forums). At any rate it gives the community a nice opportunity to develop into a good gaming environment in which everyone enjoys the games and the company of the people that they spend time with while playing. :-)

Lorthoss still playing? :-)

Hello GA! encountered a few comebackers to GW2 asking about you last week in TS, they weren’t running HEL tags but you might wanna check your rosters for those guys

“The Mists is the realm of the afterlife and the proto-reality that exists between the worlds…” “Islands of existence that reflect the histories of their worlds and in the center lies…”
“The HALL OF HEROES”, where the dead wager upon the feats of the living who wage constant…

WAR!.….For GLORY!.…. For RICHES!…..For FAME!

We in the Community recognize this truth beyond the trinkets offered in tournaments, empty PPT coverage victories and broken ranking system.

We in the WvW Community share in the view that the tournaments, PPT and ranking are failed means to the end of providing a fun and fulfilling time in WvW with great fights, good loot and fine fellowship!

We in the SOR Community have resolved that the only one who can deliver what we want is ourselves! Thus the SORC rewards the sharp blade, powerful spell and devious tactical mind who take to the field with a fun friendly experience, loot bags & prizes and recognition for their adventures, missions and answering the call to arms!

GLORY! and GREAT COMMUNITY!
The SOR Community strives to organize our WvW activities and strategies in line with our matchups so that each Rallian’s experience is a fun gaming experience and not a job.

RICHES! and PRIZES!
Each WvW participant, member and leader has a chance to win exotic items! Even better than that is that each month you have the chance to get a full set of Exotic Armor absolutely Free!

FAME! and RECOGNITION!
Each registered Rallian gets awards and badges for leadership & participation viewable in their personal page in the SOR website (http://www.sanctumofrall.com), SOR Commanders are also accommodating to requests by new commanders who wish to tag up and try commanding and are open to giving new commanders tips and advice on building their own legend in the Mists!

COORDINATED WORLD EVENTS
With multiple tags leading the action.

Taking everything into account it seems to me that they want to merge the servers without actually merging them.

RNG will then probably be blamed as to why you happen to keep ending up with people from a particular server that has the same color as you for the week in WvW or a server that would normally be ripe for a merger.

The result would be:
1. No bad PR for server mergers
2. Less maintenance cost for empty maps and servers
3. EoTM as ANET’s WvW of choice, which could be manipulated to address coverage
4. WvW Guilds buying & spending a lot of gems for transfers in a recruitment war as the abolishing of Server identity will give non-WvW folk even less reason to try WvW
5. An acceleration of the natural server death sans the bad PR as empty WvW tiers would simply be classified as the small roaming Tiers.

I heard that something similar to the “Great Tyrian Adventure” would be held for WvW.

Would love it we got more rewards for enjoying WvW!

SOS? the underdogs?

Thought that was BG

From this topic I get the impression that HoD is so stacked that HOD will automatically win silver and everyday is gonna be an endless karma train and opposing zergs will just be bags for everyone regardless of how good you play. Oh but don’t come here because we want it all the goodies for ourselves.

….

You sure this isn’t a recruitment trick? :P

Like most Rallians, I WvWed out of curiosity, then for the bags and eventually for the Great Community. But never in my mind can I ever imagine Rallians being “fair weather millitia”.

Each guild had its reasons for leaving (Fights, PPT, Survival, etc.) and each Rallian has reasons for not regularly committing to a raiding time or showing up but never because of being"disheartened", we always came in when our schedules permit and fought if there was a group to join which brought us the bags and the camaraderie that we played WvW for.

I’ve run with the Oceanics since when Zorh and Lorthos the Prince of Prosperity were in command with HIRE leading a lot less Rallian militia than NA guilds due to SoR being naturally light in Oceanic, but we still did well, farmed a ton of bags and had a darn good time doing it despite the PPT and the relentless hordes of JQ-SEA, SOS-OCX, and BG day after day after day.

We are RALLIANS, militia of the Sanctum of Rall. By our ingrained experiences we play for fun and bags. We fight, we die and we keep coming back for more. We’ll follow that tag to the the ends of the earth and back knowing that the roads are paved with loot, friends and good times.

http://www.sanctumofrall.com/

Wish they would make it so that the gate should sustain at least about 1% damage before the keep is tagged. I find one person being able to tag a keep to be cheap and really annoying :P

Ask the driver or the guild your are running with as to what they need at the moment.

Personally however I prefer a Mesmer as imho their skills are tailor fit to support large numbers. Feedback effects can mitigate ranged damage and has no cap. Glamours effects (stealth, cleanse, debuff, confusion,etc.) in general affect any who are in, go in or go out of the field and also has no cap.

Mesmers also have access to nice situational skills such as pulls and knock backs vs. defenders and cliff fights, Portals for Golem rushes and sneaking people past gates, Time Warp (nuff said), and depending on the update possibly better access to shutting down opponents with chains of interrupts.

The biggest drawback however is that you probably wont be able to tag that many opponents unless you take a few steps away from being a full support Mesmer, and with confusion still being in the crapper you might have to resort to AoE illusions and high direct damage just to get a few bags.

Sorry about not finding a good fit with the guild you joined. Take your time scouting for a new home as with free transfers over there really is no rush to choose and you can always join your community’s WvW driver in EB or BLs.

For your guild rewards such as guild commendations, etc., I’d like to invite you to free guest to the Sanctum of Rall Community which helps everyone to easily get those rewards with a massive temporary guild zerg that completes the events no less than 4 times a week in different timezones.

Please checkout http://www.sanctumofrall.com/great-tyrian-adventure.html for mroe details.

While you haven’t decided yet you can guest to other servers for free to check them out and do PvE stuff you can’t do in your own server.

The Sanctum of Rall community for example holds guild activities (rush, bounties, puzzle, etc.) four times a week and the activity is open to everyone, and you can join Champ trains (i.e. northern) depending on your playing hours.
