Right now its 39K JQ, 32K TC, 24K YB with them owning SMC, Hills and Bay in TC plus Hills in JQ, they are a T1 server so far as I can see. I don’t even like YB but I can’t say they are folding but they are definitely being hammered. And JQ isnt’t pulling punches or avoiding fights like I’ve seen them do with BG. Nice to see the freedom of fair fights and three servers each fighting one another.
I say you also take the bottom six servers in NA and maybe make them into 3 and then see what that looks like. But Bg just got dropped into T2 tonight so something is working. Lets see what happens now that there are 6 servers fighting new battles and not stale matchups. Yb will have something to prove and so does T2 and Bg. We will see how big Yb and Jq fights are and see if Bg was being propped up. One up one down on T1 and T2 just added some life to dead matchups.
We will see if Bg has been propped up by Jq now won’t we. They lost too many to Yb to be beating Jq with their blobs and the double team against Tc was only natural. They will see how tough Tier 2 is going to be after reset. Because we all know that Bg has their A game on at the moment but it’s a long week.
People seem to have this notion that T1 still means long queues and giant super-blobs but that just isn’t the case anymore. T1 queues are small or non-existent. The blobs from each server just take turns karma training (I’ve never seen Garrisons flip so easily and often as they do now). There are times when a server has virtually nobody on on almost any map. I don’t think there would be any noticeable different for FA and SoS to face a current T1 server for a week.
I totally agree. The rarified air of Tier 1 is a farce. I’m on Tc and my bro is on Fa. It’s easier on Tc. There were times on Fa when he had Qs of 140 for eb and 40s plus for the Bls. Never like that on Tc. And now with the mindless Yb blob not allowing you to breathe anywhere in the matchup its so much easier in Tier 1.
Fa could have been Tier 1 when they rolled Tier 2 for months. They are a great fight server or were. Not big on siege which is paramount for Tier 1 but they would have learned. Yb is and was all about siege so if they move up, and they should, they would fall back into the siege capped towers and open field fight siege.
But as for anyone thinking Tier 1 is so much better, nope it ain’t. I’ve played for three years and other servers. They just keep it fixed like the wizard had his curtain drawn. Once Toto exposed the wizard then all hell broke loose lol
If you arent on the server whos winning and you are thinking of giving up ppt to let them go to tier 1, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A BAD TIME.
If you think your current situation is bad imagine if a real tier 1 server drops to your tier, if i was you i would 1vs2 them and push hard because if you let a tier 1 server drops its gg!
I’m on TC. My brother is on FA. Sometimes I play his account. Yb is running larger zergs than Jq and much larger than anything I’ve seen from Bg or even Tc. The funny thing is I prefer Tier 1 because it’s easier than Tier 2 and has been. Siege up and bunker down against the Jq blob. Bg and Jq are bros and right now seems Bg lost so many that they are getting a bit of help. In Tier 2 there used to be more open field fights and when Db was in the mix at least you had different matchups every now and then.
To be honest if Yb and Jq were in Tier 1 it would be great. No deals, just fights. If Tc goes down then I see them Fa and Sos having great fights like tier 2 used to have. Fa has no Ocx and Sos has decent Ocx so it would be fun. But if Bg goes down then I think they will get hammered. No more protection.
I am pondering about this myself assuming f2p is true. I am hoping at the very least ANET considers putting an entry level into WvW. 20 would be to low if daily rewards get to stay.
I agree, if you up the WvW participation level to say 40 then the multiple alt players will have a decision to make. It will stem some of the tide.
Yeah bro, trying to siege up was possible. Now I don’t even bother. When an aoe ring can hit the ground on the backside of a wall then you know it’s time to stand back, let the cap happen and cap before the tick. Especially if you are out blobbed.
If anet fixes anything they should fix how wide and how powerful the necros and eles are. If you can’t sit on an ac as a master and defend against a blob then what’s the point of using gold to buy siege and upgade.
I like TC because they seem to always be outnumbered and fight hard. Watching Bg and Jq hold hands is rather bothersome Bg did lose all those people to Yb recently so some help is needed to keep them in Tier 1. I don’t go by points when I see a server pulling punches.
It took me forever to move to Tier 1 and I was amazed at Jqs blob sizes. I still don’t get why they don’t roll the maps like I’ve witnessed in other places. They seem to look like they are a juggernaut then disappear.
If you want fun then limit the aoe on walls and nerf the spammers. All WvW is these days is a collection of Guardians, Warriros, Necros and Eles. That should tell you something. The mes is just a pain in the butt and condi spammers win the day.
If WvW is meant to be a blob fest with condi spammers and a no defense Ktrain then that’s what it’s become. Wait, no defense Ktrain hmmm isn’ t that EoTM?
Would 1 up 1 down work better than glicko? I’d say so.
Are people actually using seasons as a reason to keep the glicko freeze going? With winner up loser down you’d be getting the closest matchups possible still, and new opponents each week.
Any excuses about getting stomped in PPT is weak. Now that the population issues are getting worked on T2 should not get blown out by T1, nor T3 by T2 and so on.
The only real issue is people want to say “im in tier 3” or “tier 2 is like this and tier 1 is like this” which they couldn’t do anymore.
You have it right. Win and climb, lose and drop. And the way things are Tier 3 could hang with Tier 2. Sos an Fa don’t have the coverage and Fa has lost many guilds, especially their Ocx/Sea, many of which went to Tier 3 now. It’s just like Fa in the past and Yb now, both could have hung in Tier 1.
Other servers have blobs so don’t think because you are on a certain tier at the moment that has a lower number than another that you are better. This win/loss way seems the most fair. It’s better than any stupid gecko system where pulling punches and keeping PPT close skews the numbers. If you want an example of that just look at Jq on Tier 1. That blob does the most peculiar things and no reason they shouldn’t be doing a Yb job on Tc and Bg especially since Bg lost tons to Yb recently.
That’s just how it is now. Unless you have a butt load of superior arrow carts manned 24/7 you have no shot. And when your corner is kept paper and supplies and people are limited then it’s next to impossible to defend. YB scouts are notorious. It’s usually a mesmer that hangs back behind every blade of grass with their finger on the panic button. I’m just surprised they didn’t throw down 5 arrow carts s of their own. They love their open field siege. LOL having 40 againts 5 is still daunting.
Good luck. Unless Anet limits ground AOE by decreasing their ability to reach far over walls like in your picture there is little to no chance of defending on lower tiers. I used to spend tons of gold on defending and upgrading. No longer. I save my money.
