Guild Wars 2

Pretty sure the points are rewarded every 15 minutes. Everyone playing during that 15th minute should be banned. Its RUINing it for the rest of us 1-14 minute people.

Makes sense since the other two servers are going to bed.

Good on you for holding out until the opportune moment!

Go back to WOW daish…

One. More. Day.

Stay strong

It’ll be a funny day in Daish World when his ‘logic’ is enforced by ANet and the two servers fighting against the server Daish is on team up 100v50 and roflstomp him to prove a point.

Sounds like real war to me, theres always one traitor

Do you know what they do to traitors in a real war? They torture/execute them. Should we able to do that in game?

Would make for a pretty popular mini-game

Clapathy.3649:

I was actually one of those 2 mesmers involed. When our last zerg was pushed out of inner DB we had a mesmer that stayed hidden on the far West side of DB.

And this is why ANet don’t respond to threads like this. Either there’s a reason like the above, or its a ‘their word vs mine’ situation.

This stagnation can be broken by organising your server. You or something who cares about it have to step up rally your troops.

Unless of course all 3 servers are already highly organised, in which case it shouldn’t be boring.

If someone from our server is exploiting, please report them so the scum get banned and don’t mess with our fun.

Its as likely as a zerg of 30 people (that you couldn’t see to count) all using the exact same exploit at the same time to beat yourkitten

That’s one organised zerg for sure.

Shintai.5618:

7 days quarantine from WvW when you transfer. Thats whats missing.

Yeah this would be good. Or just remove the ‘day’ restriction altogether. If you transfer you’re locked out of WvW until the current match is over.

The transfers are in place while they work out how to deliver on the guesting promise. Its actually not supposed to be for WvW at all…but people often don’t use the things the devs give us for their intended purpose.

The transfers need to stop for sure.

A dev loaded in and trolled you hard

wtf is this. The demands of players on these forums are getting totally ridiculous

emoleas.4309:

This is currently a serious problem with ET hacking/exploiting. They are able to kill our Yaks with nobody being visible in addition to all the other things happening.

I agree it is a serious problem when players aren’t rendering on screen. But it is not an exploit, its a tech limitation ANet currently employ. Happens on all sides of the conflict – no one controls it not can they abuse it. This one lies firmly in the hands of ANet.

Seditiar.4036:

That is true actually, the problem with that is: people from other than the standard timezone (GMT +0/1 in EU) are a minority. Not just a minority but not even 5, maybe 10% of the players.

Are you talking 10% of the GW2 playerbase or 10% of the players that take part in WvW?

dokks.1394:

Mog.1589:

Closing WvW servers from X time to X time would be stupid and screw over anybody who plays late night or any late night guilds etc….

The proper solution is to restrict servers by region. I.e. NA players on NA servers only and vice versa.

They could simply choose a server that would open at times good for them. Hardly stupid and had been done in several other RvR centric titles

What titles would those be exactly? I’d like to check them out.

Yeah so that way when my NA guild decides to stay up all night and cap everything we wont be flamed for it. I support this idea.

knotwrite.9413:

RUIN is just sad.

They get folks to transfer to other servers to spy on the enemy group so they can avoid it and just mindlessly zerg everything down.

Pathetic.

What does this have to to with the OP? If you’re going to come on the forums and have a moan, at least don’t hi-jack another thread.

You’d be surprised how private most ppl want to be while they’re online smokey and in this day and age when the potential to be hacked is so high any personal info someone can get their hands on is sensitive.

Why do you think people are crying murder over the blizz watermarks in their screen captures.

Lepha.3521:

Blame RUIN. Turned ET into a worthless zerg guild.

If ET was a guild and not a server you’d be correct, as it stands your comment makes no sense.

All I see of note in the OP’s picture is an Eredon Terrace Invader busting out some moves, some sweet dance moves.

Just a note of advice Jim, you (and everyone else) should hide your chat box when posting screen shots online, least your personal information be revealed….and you private moaning. Just saying

I like my server, I like the people and friends I have there. I’ll stay where I am thanks.

Lofty.8759:

ET threw a few matches against HoD earlier so they could face the lower brackets. They’re trying to game the system so that they don’t have to face us.

LMAO…god you’d think you weren’t happy winning

The map doesn’t look one-sided at all and there are at least 4 battles you can join in on when you took that screenie.

I can understand how you’re spoilt for choice

Except right now you’re 4th.

What Oceanic guilds to you currently have?

Or it could just be a hack

That’s great news Psy!

You know from where?

Scynthetic.1236:

Syphen.1980:

I wish people would quit whining about losing and get better instead of making excuses. If people want to transfer to winning servers and have hour long queues more power to them. if you transfer mid cycle you don’t get the benifits for that cycle.

The problem is that while people transferring to winning servers face longer ques, the strong get stronger while the losing servers get even weaker. If you’re going to whine about people whining, you should at least understand the problem first.

Actually they don’t. They just get longer queues. HoD has been winning from the start. They’re now in the situation where good WvWers just hang out in queues for hours on end.

If anything guilds going there now are just in it for a free-ride. Its hard to add value to a side that’s already on top of the pile.

There’s a growing amount of WvWers who could be putting themselves onto the field of battle but instead stand in line. 5th and 6th spot on the ranks could really give 1-4 a run for the their money if guilds moved off HoD.

We held our own in Sea of Sorrows against Eredon Terrance during the Aussie hours like a week ago, but now for some reason they beat us 24/7. I noticed a lot of people from Eredon Terrace would transfer to our server (Sea of Sorrow) and spam that they are looking for Aussie guilds to join Eredon Terrace so they can rofflestomp us even harder. After a couple days of this spam I have noticed a huge exodus of Aussie players from Sea of Sorrows, and I have now noticed a even larder presence of players on Eredon Terrance that are now playing during the Aussie hours. Just something I noticed. Also team chat is full of spies on SoS. It is kinda pathetic to be honest that they would even resort to that (ruin guild im talking about you guys)

If you’re going to call out a guild make sure you don’t label the whole server. If that is what RUIN do (and I’m not agreeing it is) they certainly aren’t representing the actions of the majority of ET.

see smokey is making ish up if you read his post carefully. he is fantasizing that there are spies in his team chat…..how would he know that? “do they say hi guys im a spy?”

on top of that he goes out of his way to say it is my guild RUIN….lol do they come into team saying “hi guys im from RUIN, im a spy?”

made up bolgna….i was actually starting to feel sorry for SOS, not so much anymore.

spend more time getting better in wvwvw than calling out a guild that just curbstomps you because you try to take out reinforced walls with your fists.

Yeah the same guy spamming in the chat was the one spying and trying to get us to go to different places…and anytime we tried to take something over 40 ruins would be camping a supply depo….like really 40 guys just waiting at a supply depo?4Its ok to admit you guys have spies its just a game bro

But aren’t ppl saying ET is everywhere on the map as it is? So having 40-50 in any one place is no big surprise.

Sure, they have numbers.

But to say a winning team has numbers and no strategy is weak. You have no way to tell. From everything I hear ET has reasonably good relationships between guilds on the server, that pushes me towards thinking they’ve got their stuff together more than they don’t.

I believe that’s how it works

Of course ET are camping that area. They control the zone. You can bet your last dollar any one of the other servers would be doing the same if they were in control.

You can moan all you want but if your WvW isn’t throwing down a challenge any enemy will find something to do to fill in the time.

But it is certainly funny to watch.

Ynot.8397:

Good riddance, we don’t really want to on Ferg anyway. That attitude isn’t going to help us win. Get in their with your guild and help lead our disorganized mob around. Why would you leave seeking an actual challenge? Have you seen our stats?! We need help and it is challenging. Loser attitude. Do not want.

^This. How could staying on your server not present a challenge?

Does your guild know you’re doing them a disservice at the moment.

Slyther.1297:

Thing is we WERE using the trebuchets for offence, we were sieging their keep for a good hour or two to starve them of their supply and eventually got a hole in their outter wall, then they mounted an organized assault on our orb keep and we placed priority on protecting it. When we went back to the trebs to resume our siege four of the five were gone. And this is up on the Garrison cliff by the way, the only way to kill them is by breaking into the keep which they had not.

And siege is meant for both offence and defence, why else would you have arrow carts which are meant to disperse crowds? Or ballista that do bonus damage against siege?

Thing is that 30 minute timer should not be there, siege is expensive, and we have to spend supply to build it, why do we have to man it every 30 minutes to keep it on the map?

And what if we go on the offensive and keep them away from our fortification? Why should our perfectly good siege that we spent coin/badges and supply on be gone if we get pushed back to that fortification and need to make use of it?

That is if they didn’t use their own siege to kill yours.

If they blow the top on the timer then they would have to allow players to use any existing siege, not just that created by their own server. That would make for some interesting dynamics

The intended use for siege weapons is, funnily enough, to besiege a fortification. If you want to use those same weapons for defence that’s fine but ANet have designed them primarily for offence.

You can get around it by going back to them inside of 30 minutes to restart the despwan counter. (I would say they’re a waste of resources in the first place if they’re unmanned for that long)

If the other team can pull you away for 30 minutes while not attacking the fort at the same time then their strategy to undermine your defence is working.

If people spent as much time/energy on developing good WvW strategy and increasing understanding of what’s possible as they do QQ’ing on these forums, the face of WvW would be remarkably changed

JoolaPrime.6390:

That may be so. Its great the transfers are still free don’t you think?

There are not enough PvP focused players to fill all the servers, there were never going to be.

Let me qualify that, I think free transfers are a terrible idea and a really bad workaround for failing on the promised guesting system…which as we know is a PvE thing.

But while transferring is free there’s still a chance for those getting a bad deal to do something about it.

That may be so. Its great the transfers are still free don’t you think?

There are not enough PvP focused players to fill all the servers, there were never going to be.

How does that work when ET is a low pop server and both IoJ and SoS have an Oceanic presence?

If a server with a WvW focus faces off against servers who don’t they’ll always do well. ANet can do nothing about players choosing not to play WvW.

I think we get your point :P

I can’t see why HoD would need to form an alliance with another server…they don’t seem to have no problem with holding their own.

Although I can understand the feud TA has with AA might cause an inter-server teamup

b/c at the moment they’re unshakable, their 1st placing in the current metagame is a given. 2nd and 3rd is where the interesting stuff is happening.

JoolaPrime.6390:

Sheesh Raptor, this isn’t the AA Freelancer. This guy said he was from Yaks Bend in his 2nd post.

My bad read it wrong. I was thinking he was talking about Yaks Bend borderlands. Regardless I did come back instantly and state that I did not believe that it could be TL’s Freelancer.

Heh, no harm, no foul.

Sheesh Raptor, this isn’t the AA Freelancer. This guy said he was from Yaks Bend in his 2nd post.

ET has a good group of Oceanic’s…will be a good fight.

Would be a better fight if HoD wasn’t in the mix tho. Those guys are boring.

I see ghost-town WvW all time. Not b/c there are no enemies, its just ANet are determined for us not to see who we’re fighitng

Its not a bug. Its how ANet keeps the lag in WvW manageable. Its a crappy solution that I hope they improve on ASAP

ANet have made it possible so it’s going to happen. In truth its a great way for xp gains on high pop servers.

Does nothing but help you lose WvW matches tho.

I think its fine if your server owns WvW since what else are you going to do there but otherwise its bad form

I guess we’ll see how SI does against ET in today’s matchup

Esp. considering the last time HoD/SI/ET faced off on the 7-8th of September with HoD coming in first place (just), with SI losing by a significant margin

Fugly.5287:

The reason ET is ranked highly is because it is frequently paired with other lower population servers. The other lower population servers are (unofficial) Australian or Asian servers. Thus during US primetime, the opposing servers are empty and ET dominates WvW. Two days ago when I looked at 9 p.m. EST, Eredon Terrace had a score of 24,000, against 1,500 Sea of Sorrows (the Australian sever), and one other which was below 2,500, (forgot which).

Wait what. If These servers are constantly paired against each other how can 1 of them be highly ranked. Wouldn’t these ‘night capping’ servers have huge point leads with no resistance?

Fugly.5287:

Fugly.5287:

Northern Shiverpeaks, Eredon Terrace, and Furguson’s Crossing are all fast WvW queue times, but perform badly at WvW.

I dunno Fugly, ET is often against HoD…they can’t perform that badly if they’re facing off against equivalent servers.

However, when my server Stormbluff Isle played against Eredon Terrace, Eredon was last with 1/5 the score of others.

And when did SI last play ET? Must have been a while ago when ET wasn’t so low in your rankings
