bla bla bla… superior numbers.

Back to that argument? We have already posted the answer…

If you would like to test your mettle against us in good natured, respectful open-field combat we would sure enjoy it. It’s what we’ve been asking for.

Equal numbers, even fight.

If you’re bored & you can’t get what you want, then maybe you should quit the game

Mend did bore me into DotA2 and out of GW2… So they at least accomplished something for IoJ last night.

Lifehack: When trolling use gifs that are related to the post. This will ensure maximum rage. For instance, in your last post you could have used this gif.

“Golf claps all around”
lol what a dweeb
“wiping us 1 time”… huehuehue
Don’t worry we’ll keep the port bombs coming cuz they work quite well against you

The only thing that I have seen Mend to that works is boring us to death hiding in a tower… Yes I’m talking about last night you holding 30-40 inside of SW tower for 10 minutes while 20 MU scratch our heads wondering, “Is this really fun for them?” If you would like to test your mettle against us in good natured, respectful open-field combat we would sure enjoy it. It’s what we’ve been asking for.

Don’t put your photos on the internet ever.

That’s realistic. The fault lies with the party who uses the photos to ridicule another, not the person who used social media like the rest of the Western world.

The sensibility and logic behind this statement is overwhelming.

WvW Season One Rewards Are Unacceptable

in WvW

Posted by: Righteous.4307

Righteous.4307

I have to say out of all the games I have played… the reward was Very poorly thought out…. some players put in many many hours and put in alot of gold (Seige) to win.

Secondly it would be nice to see a in game dev to babysit the idiots who think its funny to waste ppls gold and drop omega golems off cliffs and use up all your supply on useless seige and seige capping you at the same time. This is just a huge waste of peoples time and money. There is no report choice for stupid players that abuse the system maybe once you get a large amount of complaints you could IP ban these players for a week to stop this issue if you can’t fix these issues.

Possible choices for everyone participating

~ a character slot (this might generate more gem purchases… even if only 1/4 of the players bought something it would still make you extra cash)

~ a vendor where players could choose an kitten piece of gear /armour of their choice (some kind of token system)

~ a vendor where you could choose a specific look for your weapon or gear (again a token system)

~ gems awarded so players could purchase an item at the shop this might promote sales also

I am sure there are numerous awards you could give out these are just a few ideas but
in order to keep wvw fun / worthwhile playing you need to dangle a carrot here and there to make it a bit more exciting. This is a great game but everyone likes to receive a worthwhile reward for their efforts.

Very good points all around.

Great GvG BB! Some intense fights and probably the best we’ve had in a long time. Hope to see you guys again.

Thank you again BB. Fantastic GvG. Right down to the wire.

Great GvG, and wow some long fights. Compiling footage and the nine fights come in at over 46 minutes in total 0.o. One fight was almost 12 minutes long. Great stuff, we hope to see you all again as well.

And a shout out to the Lost folks who filled in to give us our 15, much appreciated!

Cheers all, and I guess this is goodbye as the matchup forums go bye bye tomorrow.

I know it is a bit to ask, but is there anyway you could share that footage with us? We didn’t get it all recorded. Feel free to contact Gornok or myself and we can get this squared away. Thanks again either way.

infraction warning for pointing out the thief profession is carrying players. my apologies to all the thief players out there who are sensitive about the subject of poor game balance. I will now take my leave

100% crit chance in stealth
Clear conditions in stealth
Heal in stealth
PLENTY of access to stealth
Bonus damage/effects from attacking in stealth
No CD’s or Casttimes (to speak of) on weapon skills
(AND: Highest DPS in the game in most cases)

Yeah seems legit, good players need to be more than “Thief Mains” to be considered “good”….Plain and simple being good at Thief does not make you a good player, it just makes you part of a small majority (as there are a lot of bad thieves just playing it for the EZMODE)

I loved thief too when I was new at this game, very low risk high reward class….But once you become a decent player, you usually realize that playing thief is not making you any better. The difference between a good and great thief is a tiny gap.

Your guildmate is bragging about his thief skills a couple posts up.

Bob is from SF. Just doing his best to troll HoD. For more information see the Steve Irwin Internet Troll Hunter from the closed matchup thread.

Who are MU

The guild that politely requested a GvG with you last night. You declined inexplicably despite running with a blob of 65+ Os. We can still arrange a proper 15v15 GvG when you are available. Feel free to accept or dodge more.

Which Os guild are you referring to, there are about 5.
Even though I’ve never seen any of them push a 65+ guild zerg out other than us.

Old Socks [Os]? We are the nightcrew. I’m the Guild leader and we’re a 500man guild, we put out about 80man all thief zergs at around 2am PST but you’ve probably never seen us because of the stealth you know.

That stealth is a problematic thing indeed. I wasn’t aware that there were so many Os. Honestly… I dont remember even the name of the person I spoke with. It would have been ~11pm Central last night. Whoever it was, perhaps we can schedule a GvG when it would work best for all parties involved.

In all seriousness [MU] has had alot of fun this week. Keep up the good fights CD and NSP. See you on the battlefield soon.

Hey man i’m glad you were so impressed. I was also impressed with your guys dedication as well! After being wiped so many times by a force far less then your own you still managed to come back with twice our numbers and siege! Impressive! Even when we were wiping you guys at NE camp you guys just kept WPing and coming back. The sheer dedication your guild has shown to hand-delivering me my loot bags makes me feel all fuzzy inside! Good fights!

WvW Season One Rewards Are Unacceptable

in WvW

Posted by: Righteous.4307

Righteous.4307

As much as you hate other people generalizing, you should probably stop doing so yourself.

I spend 90% of my time doing the non-zerg, non-reward stuff on map. I play (or used to) 10-14 hour days, seven days a week since November. I have skipped all the living story content since February pretty much to WvW. I consider myself a pretty hardcore/serious WvW player.

Was I let down by the quality of the rewards based on the time put into the effort? Yep. And I’m not typically motivated by rewards … but these felt like little thought was put in to reflect the amount of effort expended. That’s what bothers me the most: The rewards were throw away. I would have even been cool with only the top three finishers of each tier getting something unique — bragging rights (and it would have not included my server) — but we didn’t even get that.

Quoted for truth. Sadly I don’t think that we will even see a response. Despite the ~19,000 views and ~500 replies.

Anyways, I’m glad HOD decided to flex it’s bandwagon skills. I mean, who would have thought that the top of bronze league would have more population than the last two servers in silver league.

While we have received ~20-25 transfers between MU and SWAT which has certainly helped, HoD has had a very strong internal recruitment strategy. Many of the guilds you see out there every day are working very hard to get PvE players into and focused on WvW. So far its working, although most of the fairweathers without being in a guild to support them left Friday/Saturday this week. We will see how it goes.

The most entertaining thing so far about this match is reading the HoD website and them obsess over PPT and how much they seem to be gunning for NSP (I guess that is understandable since CD is sitting this one out).

Queue intro music. G’day. I’m Steve Irwin, and today on Internet Troll Hunter we are about to enter the basement of some very disappointed parents. This is the home of the internet troll. It is a vile but fascinating creature which is especially disliked by its own server Sorrows Furnace. Queue transition music. The first thing I notice after taking my first step down into the cellar is a dank, musky smell. Crikey! The scent of that putrid bile is overwhelming even for me. I can tell we are getting closer from the loud and very distinct mouth breathing. Keep your eyes open… Oh! There it is! Don’t move or make too much noise or you’ll startle it! Wow… isn’t she a ‘beaut. This boys and girls is one of the biggest internet trolls on the WvW forums. Although the creature is banned on his other account from posting in the matchup threads (for now) it posts on this alt account. Notice how it lurks forums of a server that it hasn’t been matched up with for weeks because it is still emotionally hurt from a previous matchup. That’s all our time for this week kids, check in next week for the next episode of Steve Irwin Internet Troll Hunter. Queue outro music, and roll credits.

First of all, as many people have pointed out, most of the living stories can be completed in 1-2 days, not 3-4 weeks. So stop comparing season one to a living world story, they require different levels of effort and as such the rewards should be considerably different.

Funny, I saw people with the title for the meta just a day or two after start of season 1.
I suppose those people somehow managed to hack the game and give themselves that title then, since it was apparently not possible to complete it faster than 3-4 weeks.

Yes and I am sure there were folks that had many of the living story events done in an hour or two. Not talking about people that set aside fun and purpose to complete them fast, talking about general play normal progress.

Exactly. I was going to be playing WvW almost exclusively anyway. It is really about the implications that the inadequate rewards will have on the long term health of WvW in the off season as well as what happens when Season 2 rolls around.

HoD [MU] The /Beckons and /Laughs are HILARIOUS especially when you push my zerg over 10 times throughout the night and get SMEARED on the floor From SMC to CD bl Bay to open field [MU] is first to start the emote war, and first to suddenly hit the floor………

The only guild worth mentioning on HoD is [Dx] good respectable players there. the rest are meh and MU is huge PvF but when it comes to open field ROFLSMEARACROSSTYRIA shame you cant emote when on the floor

With love, a SPICEY cup of soup!!

Here is the funny thing. You outnumbered the group we had with us 3 to 1. So much so that we literally had the outmanned buff. Pics will be provided by Gornok today. Then, to make matters worse, even with the massive numerical advantage you siege creep us, and take 45 minutes to take bay, when you have lost the rest of the map (except northern towers and Garrison) to NSP. While I do remember you wiping some of the pugs we had with us, the only thing I remember dieing of was the boredom that you can create by never pushing and siege creeping when you have triple our numbers. Finally, after all of that you decide it’s a good idea to come on the forums and specifically call out MU.

Let me consult Zoltar and predict the next few days on the forums for you. He says,

“The future is very clouded for you [KöMÉ]. Given your previous statements, [MU] will call you out for a 15v15 GvG. There are two possible outcomes. Either you accept and become the laughing stock of CD when they wipe the floor with you, or you dodge the GvG and lose all credibility.”

Yikes! [KöMÉ]… Zoltar doesn’t seem too enthusiastic about how this PvF war will turn out for you. Unfortunately for you, he has never been wrong. I guess we can all sit back now and see if you accept or dodge.

Blackgate, Fort Aspenwood and Henge of Denravi won.

Best overall matches were in Bronze League I think its safe to say.

Now I wouldn’t say there were no surprises:

Yaks coming in 2nd in Silver was a surprise.
AR rebounding and doing better than expected.
TC came in 3rd and SoR 4th in Gold.

DH beat SF in bronze to take second place from the heavily favored SF.

Other than that I think you got the rest covered.

I was addressing the sentiment quoted below. I know there’s still a rewards gap, but some people on this thread are making it out to be way more than it really is. There’s a lot of whining of how unfair it is without considering the knock on effects.

I have yet to see one logical reason why WvW should not be on par with PvE rewards.

Do you really want me to list every weapon skin, armor skin, and backpiece skin that has been released for PvE? What items are WvW exclusive? Oh… and the only item that is WvW exclusive (aside from siege) is the Gift of Battle.

@King A – Please read my posts so that we can avoid the straw man fallacy based arguments that you are making. Lets stop talking about PvE riches (mass gold) and start talking about equitable reward. Let me make this really clear…

1. The rewards that I am suggesting are not monetary. – The chest should not have made anybody rich. What I am suggesting is that ArenaNet give something unique, interesting and exclusive to all players who earned the key regadless of their servers placement. Something in line with Living Story rewards. Here are some ideas:

  • WvW exclusive ascended back piece -This would have also provided a solution to the fact that WvW players don’t have access to one outside of crafting).
  • WvW exclusive weapon skins – To encourage off-season participation more could be purchased for a significant amount of badges (1500 badges/skin).
  • WvW exclusive armor skins – To encourage off-season participation more could be purchased for a significant amount of badges (1500 badges/skin).

2. The achievements implemented to determine participation should have been better thought out. – Some of the achievements actively worked against the servers success. Taking supply from Stonemist to repair walls that were being trebbed rather than completing upgrades, players queuing maps to finish jumping puzzles, etc. are just a couple examples of how the achievements could have been better thought out. Furthermore, the current system didn’t encourage participation throughout the season. If a player finished the achievements in week 1 they had no incentive to participate week 2-7. Clearly this could have been better thought out.

3. Finishers for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for each league (9 servers total) instead of only 1st place in each league (3 servers total). – At the end of the day giving more reward to fewer servers will only reinforce the idea that players who want the reward should stack the winning servers.

4. Equatable rewards to help disperse players from high WvW participation servers to join low WvW participation servers – If you read the gold league threads you see people saying the queues are too long. Alternatively, if you read the bronze league threads you see people complaining about a lack of people playing. It would obviously frustrate players if ArenaNet simply moved people from server X to server Y, but equal rewards for every player on every server (aside from the finishers/bragging rights) would work to encourage players to join a server where they wouldn’t have a 4 hour queue to get the same reward. Add diminishing costs based on a servers current placement and you could largely solve the issue.

Some of the aspects of what would make Season Two better could only be learned by carefully watching Season One and learning from the mistakes. However, the reward for system for a season based WvW can still be fixed.

WvW Season One Rewards Are Unacceptable

in WvW

Agreed. The real problem is that I saw what ArenaNet could have accomplished with a Season/Off Season could have done. If implimented I feel like ArenaNet could have done a few things…

  • Drawn more players to the WvW game type.
  • Worked to resolve queue issues in kitten servers.
  • Added players to lower tier servers.
  • Resolved the issue of ascended gear for WvW exclusive players.
  • Added a prestige aspect for WvW players
  • Appropriately balanced reward across gametypes

While it has been discussed many times in this thread you can see an TLDR version :

Instead, I see problems with WvW exacerbated by the current implementation of Seasons with the current S1 Chest being the best example.
