Guild Wars 2

Rudnick.6870:

Well,in my case you rolled back the whole day (8-10 hours of yesterday´s (23.august.2016) work thus i have to start the hirathi hinterlands region all over,and i was one vista from completion the region),to top this,aurorun also have its own will now turning on and off as it wants keeping me dead under the cliffs (have i mentioned that in this time during autorun i cant control the movement as mouse dissappears and is not responding along with movement keys?).simply this new patch made for me,new user,the game unplayable and thus im leaving it.so cya folks.

I believe you’re the only one experiencing this. Since yesterday when I logged back on, I haven’t had a single issue with the game, outside of the TP being down. Submit a ticket to Anet, but I doubt it has anything to do with their end. It could be game file corruption, so you can go ahead and do a game repair or clean reinstallation, but I think it’s more likely that there’s something seriously wrong with your computer.

I mean, I can understand your frustration, OP. But there’s really not much you can do as Tarnished Coast currently in second place, considering Dragonbrand actually understands map politics throughout the week, unlike Jade Quarry during the Blackgate/Yak’s Bend/Jade Quarry matchup before JQ dropped out of Tier 1. So think about the motives for each server at the moment.

- Natually, players who strictly want to fight will go wherever there’s activity. This includes roamers.
- Blackgate has a massive lead at the moment, so Blackgate choosing who to target doesn’t matter as much in terms of their ranking at the end of the week, at least for the moment.
- Players focused on controlling/flipping objectives will naturally want to keep both servers in check. Because Tarnished Coast is currently in second place, it’s natural it would be hit more. Blackgate will want to keep the second place server a good distance away from first, and Dragonbrand doesn’t want to drop out of Tier 1.
- Similarly, Dragonbrand hitting Blackgate hard is counter-intuitive. DB wouldn’t want to provoke the first place server to counterattack, thus having to face both BG and TC knocking at their front door.
- Finally, there are going to be players who dislike certain members/guilds of TC, due to events/drama from a few weeks ago, and will favor hitting TC more. (I really don’t agree with this reasoning, though.)

Basically, you can see the dangers a closely-contested second place server would be in, and the immense power a server currently in first place has over the match. All that being said, personally I feel Tarnished Coast is doing pretty well so far, since it looks like TC is starting to extend the lead over Dragonbrand. We’ll have to see how the rest of the match goes, now that we’re entering weekdays.

P. S. Hyped for the proposed WvW changes!

Working with Eredon Terrace after the WvW Balance Patch has been amazing. Admittedly, I was also a bit frustrated on the initial reset night, because I was locked out with tremendous queues when I showed up 10 minutes late to reset. After that reset night, it was amazing. The week of the Borderlands changes, BG was waking up, but we still experienced areas of weakness. Throughout last week, ET more than covered our backs. They’re a force to be reckoned with, and I hope that silenced those who were doubting ET’s impact to Tier 1 WvW.

Still, I find it hilarious that people make accusations at Blackgate based on a few random individuals spewing out vehement rhetoric that is not at all representative of the server as a whole. In most of my WvW experience across multiple guilds, we have not belittled our opponents. In fact, we still have a lot to learn from Yak’s Bend, because while we’ve always had more success in open-field combat, YB’s knowledge of siege defense of objectives is far superior to ours.

But to hear people say how Blackgate shouldn’t have be matched with Eredon Terrace is an insult to the system in place. Eredon Terrace is the dominant force in Tier 8, and Blackgate was last place week after week in Tier 1. And to hear people say how BG only winning because of returning players and the loss of guilds from YB and JQ is disrespectful to ET in the effort they put in and effect they’ve had.

Eredon Terrace, I greatly appreciate what you have done for us, and I’m looking forward to our continued partnership.

Friday fits my schedule a bit better than the weekends. 6pm PST works perfectly fine for me as well.
