Guild Wars 2

Neuromancer.2148:

Haven’t faced SoS in a while, and I’m looking forward to it. Do they still have a strong Oceanic presence?

Gawd I hope so

Can’t wait to see what SoS brings to the table tonight XD

Get ten friends in a tower and build 10 superior ACs. Farm them as they come in expecting an empty tower.

Just because xyz players arranged something, doesn’t mean you have to participate, especially if you feel it’s abusing the system.

This is what people in my guild did last night.

Even if you don’t stop the karma train you really really kitten it off which is way more fun imho

JQ had a truly evil idea with this one, clearing their queues once they are too far ahead to lose.

There appeared to be some sort of formal agreements from both Mag and SoS with JQ on Tuesday, but their latest tactic is just to give away SMC and keeps to retake later.

To think that Maguuma’s resident trollmaster general was actually bragging about taking JQ’s garri yesterday LOL.

If you want to put a stop to this, go the BL where the trades are taking place and put a stick in the spokes. That’s what most of us on SoS are talking about doing.

Generally speaking, even during Karma train, any self-respecting server would still defend thein Home BL’s Garrison and EBG Keep regardless.

we cant with telling jq to kitten off about the ktrain and sos saying yes to it its 2v1 so i hope bg and sor dont go to there level and keep the fights going all week

I don’t think BG or SOR will midweek karma train, we like to fight each other to much <3

I’ve been casually browsing this thread all day and I don’t know if anyone brought this up but I’m seeing alot of mentions of perhaps making the “off-peak” times less influential on the outcome of a match.

Speaking as an Oceanic player this makes me a little sad. I don’t think punishing “nighttime” players by making their contributions worth less than NA players will benifit the game at all. It WOULD probley fix the population imbalance, but only because most of the non-NA players wouldn’t bother playing anymore…

On the plus side I do think the idea of consolidating / merging low populations servers is a one of the most interesting ideas as it works in those server’s interests. I’m sure some people on those servers wouldn’t like being teamed up with “the enemy” :P but I think it would be a viable option to at least trial.

Also a reworking of the NPC system (i.e. more Seigeraiser type events when a server is outmanned for a long period of time), as well as re-doing the outmanned buff and the bloodlust buff would help low population servers or servers with a low off-peak presence BUT that doesnt specifically solve “over popultion” and may create problems for those servers that are in the middle population / coverage wise.

WvWvW being what it is it was never going to be a fair fight to begin with and I don’t think that implementing countless changes upon changes to try and fix it will completley solve anything in the long run as players will always find new issues, nor do I understand how so many people think it should be a such an even playing feild such as SPvP currently is.
Yes I’m on a T1 server that can be considered “stacked”, but I want to be a part of a competative and balanced all-round matchup as much as anyone and would love to see if any of the changes mentioned would make a difference in the competitiveness (is that even a word?) of some matches. Though sadly, I dont think the general concept of WvWvW was ever going to be balanced.

Finally, I would just again like to remind people that there are people playing across ALL timezones and I think we all deserve to be playing the same game and not be getting lesser rewards or feel like we are not contributing as much to the score just because we arent playing at the same time everyone else is

Awesome fights on SORBL tonight keep up the fights SOR <3

OH and Congrats on the easy match up JQ. You do not even have to try to win. kittenmit Anet.

Do you do anything but complain? Just got out and play the game man.

Just go out and play? Kind of difficult when theres a brick wall of queues standing in your way. Favorite moment of last night was me spamming guild chat telling people to get on into SOR BL to kick some kitten and everybody was like “Sureeeee, we’ll be right in” to mock the queues!

dat 3 hour reset queue >.<

Zero.5034:

Sorry to bring this to the forum and not a guild leader or something, but BG, I’m not sure if you’re aware but one of your players was hacking on JQBL at around 0410 server time. He was in an Omega in our NE tower hitting our gate from inside the wall, then hitting the wall from inside the wall, and then teleported up to in front of lords room and began destroying our siege. none of our guards were killed, none of our walls or gate was taken down. I hope you can find this guy and report him. I’m not blaming all of BG for it happening, the actions of one does not reflect the actions of all in these situations. Just please try to find this guy to prevent it from happening in the future.

Yes we are all aware of this happening and we are all actively reporting him on our side as well for making us look like kittens we at BG do not support this kind of crap <3

Also; to all the peeps on BGBL thank for an epic night!! Awesome fights all around. Can’t wait to see what the rest of the week hold for us

Rhaegus.8924:

You guys are hilarious.
Complaining on that you will actually have people to fight against in more matchups than we have?
Hard for me to say, but for once i agree with Sykkob

lol….

Maybe we wanna play with JQ too </3

SykkoB.9465:

who cares?? JQ will be bored to tears, while BG and SOR get to have some epic battles. The only real victims r servers 4-5-6.

I dont know about anyone else but my battles are gonna feel a little less epic if I know the outcome of the season before its halfway through…

JaredKincade.9761:

Sure it is, it would work like this:

Week 1: JQ SOR BG (like now)

Week 2: JQ SOR = Easy week for BG

Week 3: JQ BG = Easy week for SOR

Week 4: SOR BG = Easy Week for JQ

Week 5: JQ SOR = Easy week for BG

Week 6: JQ BG = Easy week for SOR

Week 7: SOR BG = Easy Week for JQ

There, two easy weeks a piece.

Both my proposed schedules give Tier 1 servers an EQUAL number of easy weeks.

Either one is perfectly fine, but you cannot be giving out free points.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out these two schedules are the ONLY way we have equal competition.

I dont understand how something like this didnt happen?

Edit: OR what was posted in the original post which would have been better for the t2 servers also.

It just seems logical

Caroline.4987:

One week?

Wait…so we’re supposed to lose to SoS and Mag the second time we meet them?

There is no second time. This week is your only match up with SoS and Mag. Every week after this you will be at least with JQ, SoR or BG.

Week 7 is listed but not in the picture graph thingy

Can anyone from Anet (or anyone who knows) elaborate on how the schedule was determined?

Good luck and have fun everyone!!

Going off the last time we were all together (BG/JQ/SOR) its gonna be a good one!

Keep it clean and let’s have an awesome week and let’s all let’s get this season off to a killer start <3

P.S Go BG! \o/
#believegate

Hey SoR – I hear BG has cookies and ppt lead.

No! They are our cookies and you can not have them!

Blackgate is a tier 1 server but is undermanned during Oceanic time. Refer to https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/recruitment/Blackgate-Recruiting-SEA-Euro-and-Oceanic-1 for more details.

Blackgate Outmanned during Oceanic? Wut?

It clearly says “undermanned”…

Also having the same issues in Australia, Blackgate server
I’m about 30 seconds behind the rest of my guild, only in wvw maps.
Lasts for a few minutes until I eventually DC.
This issue has only been happening the last few days. I don’t have any issues with my connection anywhere else.
