Megaserver and WvW

Until Anet implements anything like this, the only solution is what they´ll gain alot of money from without any effort on their side, transfers.

The result is the same, active wvw. Equal numbers and coverage needs to be tweaked by talking to the leaders of the communities of the servers..

All original ties to the servers everyone used to play on gets cut as they transfer to the new server.

The only real connection someone has to their server (thanks to megaservers in PVE) is WvW.

Supposedly there´s hundred thousands active players in the game, a server can host approx 500 players online at the WvW maps at any given time, active WvW players throughout all of NA might be a few thousands of players (from around the world playing at various times), same goes to EU..

The ONLY solution right now unless Anet merges WvW servers is to transfer and gather all active WvW players into the golden league servers.

This is just a glorified recruitment post for the already most stacked EU server.
4 maps queued during prime time. EB queued for 12 hours of the day. No one to fight outside prime time except Deso during the night.
If you want to have constant fights, transfer to any server but SFR. They’ll give you a 50 man blob to fight 24/7.

Is this a way to provoke me personally or are you just stupid? Seriously, read through my post again.

SFR IS FULL, Desolation is probably FULL. Request is for all active wvw players, guilds to gather in the same possible matchups so we face eachother instead of ghost servers who puts up 0 fights throughout the night.

Which servers has functionally communities that can promote themselves to gather more players so we can have fights somewhere here in EU WvW??.. I don´t want to transfer to NA.

All active WvW players scatter EVENLY on all servers available for matchups IN GOLDEN LEAGUE. There isnt enough WvW players for golden, silver and bronze to fill up the BL, not even during primetime.

I don´t know international servers that needs players, I know SFR and Deso is full when it comes to primetime, maybe even Gandara is full now and after that I have no clue which international server can provide a good community for the players who is looking for international server.

If you want french server go to Augory Rock, if u want german server go to Kodash, if those two servers are full then you´d need to search for the second national french/ second national german.

SFR DON´T NEED MORE ALLIES, WE NEED MORE ENEMIES!!!!

EDIT: As of right now, Riverside and Elonas Reach is dead, they have so few players interested in WvW atm it´s a god kitten joke really, I saw a couple of guilds from riverside who tries to have some fun but that´s about it. It´s sickening and a god kitten disappoint and I could bet all my gold that players on these two servers feels the same way, take my word of advice and find a new home, where you can find new allies. Kodash next? talk to their community leaders and see the status of the ques before u transfer.

Dayra, it seems to me that you are talking about something completely different then what I am.

I´m not recruiting allies to SFR, i´m not talking about 24/7 coverage. I´m not talking about rankings or matchups or anything of the like.

If there are supposed to be any WvW whatsoever, there needs to be some type of “coverage PPT” to compete with SFR to win in rankings for sure but that´s not the point at what i´m getting at. I just want GW2 to have active WvW, it can only be done with players actually playing it. Instead of dividing up our active WvW players so it slowly dies down we should gather everyone in the same league so we always have something to FIGHT.

PPT, rankings and coverage means nothing; to alot of the players in the WvW communities. That´s part of the WvW experience but most players just wants the fights, objectives sure gets the desire to defend/attack for a great part of the playerbase but without it there would just be “pointless” (ironic?) fighting which no one really cares about other then when it comes to Guilds vs Guilds.

Again, my request: all active players come to golden league, spread throughout the servers who have active communities and make WvW a fun active PvP ground again. That is the only solution to the boring stalemate that is right now.

Augory Rock apparently is an uprising French Server, if you are french and have memories of jade sea/ vizunah days that you want to live through again, try there.

Hello, i´m a player on Seafarer´s Rest. I´ve been playing this game since launch and I have been enjoying WvW for the most part of it.

What I´ve been noticing lately is a rapidly fallout of players interested in WvW. There are no enemies to fight, to me it seems in the golden league- most servers have given up. WvW IS FUN, but it needs players and a working community, which is why Seafarer´s Rest and Desolation still runs strong.

I don´t know how it is in Silver League but I can´t imagine that it is any different there. There is a simple solution on how to make WvW fun again. Make all active players play against eachother. Gather in golden league. As much as people want to argue against blobbing- no one enjoys having no one to play against.

Seafarer´s Rest, Desolation- maybe even Gandara and Kodash still have a thriving WvW community, and it´s sad to see the french spirit dying with Jade Sea and Vizunah crashing but there´s got to be a rebirth on more fronts! Use the foundation on which you had before and build up the communities again.

Alot of guilds considered silver league a haven simply because they wanted to avoid queues, how about now? is it still thriving? I might be mistaken about how things are in Silver League but I see alot of servers lacking players in golden league, WvW needs a reformation! If Anet is not willing to help us then we must organize it ourselves, if Anet can´t merge bronze wvw into silver wvw or even further up we have to do it ourselves.

It´s a simple request, a simple solution, all active wvw players move up to golden league, where there are space.

I know that Seafarer´s Rest doesn´t suffer any problems with active players atm and i´m pretty sure Desolation is about as full as it can get, i´d advice you to look at other servers. Kodash, Gandara, look for a secondary german server once Kodash gets enough, if you are a guild then it´s easy for you to organize with the communities leaders and check the status with ques etc. Rekindle the french spirit on Jade Sea or Vizunah again. WvW is FUN, when there are enemies to be found.

@Seroooo, as much as it´s true that sometimes desolation got focused because of several different reasons, most likely because it had most sense to focus you on a specific time, the first time I heard alot of cries from desolation that SFR were focusing them was in the first BB matchup and I got something to say about that – 1st of all, SFR already secured the win. 2nd of all, in the end of the matchup it was shown overall for the entire week it was 50/50 focus on both BB and Deso. 3rd of all, desolation was focusing completely wrong things in a matter of ppt so they were crippling themselves from coming 2nd in the last few hours they couldve come 2nd if they played smarter.

Now, how is it ONLY SFR fault that deso isn´t performing better?.. I don´t hate desolation as in the server itself, I think desolation is by far the biggest threat towards SFR but the whining is seriously out of controle, reading posts from guildmembers of a guild that was previously on SFR. That´s what´s making alot of trolls appear and these discussions gets out of hand with stupid silly accusations. I think because of many “desotears” as other fellow players on my server has described it they have been fueled to keep it going simply because it´s fun for them to upset people.

@hholls, every blob loses, every group loses fights, outnumbered or not. If you are suggesting that any server always wins their fights unless enemies are outnumbering them and never loses when they are equal numbers you live in a dream, a real fantasy, a delusion. This happens to everyone, everyone has experienced beating outnumbered opponents, equal numbers. Your argument is that you are awesome and always win over others unless they outnumber you as far as I can understand, well if you were so great everyone else would just hide behind their walls and just cross fingers you don´t get a better coverage cause that would make you #1 wouldn´t it?.. So mindkittened.

SFR is #1, every other server is weaker, logic? ofcourse you can call the 2nd server weak..

Every server blobs, every server has guilds, every server has roamers, but SFR does it best, that´s why SFR is winning the league at this rate, you can whine however much you want, but fact is that SFR is winning… It´s sad though that you try to come with excuses to losing, you´re not good enough – yet.

It´s true that SFR has lost alot of quality in their pugs but we´re still winning. Personally I don´t give a kitten about the league but coming and whining, giving excuses to losing is just destroying the mood, stop it! Try to do better instead…

Posted by: Samstein.5269

Samstein.5269

Situation on SFR atm: Alot of people thinks that wvw guilds such as CoN, KoA, DoRF, Opt,ECL etc are playing too much open fieldfights and not caring about points. The members of these guilds are trying to convince some unsatisfied players in the community that everything is for the server.

Last night I was on sfr bl and I saw CoN,KoA and DoRF pushing and fighting against outnumbered GD towards Elona spawn, NEWS from Elona came later and helped GD but GD didnt try to join battles with NEWS, GD tried to avoid this imho but it seemed like it was hard for KoA and CoN not to merge even if it was unwillingly they have to fight unfairly to keep the points as long as possible.

Afaik throughout the night there were alot of fights between CoN and GD and I can´t say if it were even fights or who won what. The reason CoN doesnt want to SPARR with any guild is because there´s too much sparring and too few real GvG´s… It´s pretty stupid that so many guilds prefer to SPARR because they´re afraid to lose points in official GvG. I don´t think any guild can be ready for a real GvG with a short notice.

GD is definitely one of the top3 guilds in the world and it´s common sense to not treat them lightly..

Good luck on the battlefield and most importantly, have fun!

Covis is correct though, when our primetime started we didnt have anything, we took bay so it was paper, elonas hills was tier3, jade seas garrison was tier3. Most of the focus from us in SFR was to defend the paper bay which is obviously the easiest target. It´s just natural that alot of action is going on there.

I saw Jade Sea capping lake when we were fighting GD inside vale though, i´m pretty sure elonas were able to get alot of bags from us during this time but unfortunately Jade Sea was able to read the situation perfectly and take GreenLake, it wouldn´t surprise me if it wasn´t paper so I think everyone did a great job tonight.

Other than that I want to add we in SFR also have a few induviduals with lags since the patch, it´s almost always like this after patch until they A-net fix something in the coding but most of our guys don´t have much problems.

Well, atleast with the new matchup system we won´t be bothered too long with vizunah, they´re great at capping points and sucks at open fieldfights. From 10am to 2pm I was leading the pugs on sfr bl and we lost everything on a number of occasions except our precious garrison (I dunno if you capped it later or not after I logged off), but we never ever got wiped by vizunah zerg, I died on a last engagement at dawns though, we were taking bay from you and u had some zerg breaking inside dawns and alot of players decided to stay at bay instead of moving with me to rush from garrison waypoint to dawns tower, when I got there you were already running up the stairs and I had like 10-20 guys with me.

Vizunah players to me are like bots, machines that is only focused on capping as much as possible and defend it inside with as much siege as possible. I haven´t seen you take another zerg on head to head yet (but I´m sure you have at some point) and i´m hoping that you will find some entertainment in open fieldfights aswell in the near future..

I want to complement vizunah for being able to coordinate 2 big zergs at the same time, at one occasion during the morning when u just had reinforced walls at hills we couldn´t get close to the doors due to the many siege you had inside so we decided to start trebbing from stargrove.

You took perfect advantage of this and PVD both woodhaven and dawns at the same time, unfortunately SFR lacks alot of players that wants to scouts which I must also complement vizunah on, you are great at having scouts just like some bots/machines they are there to report and start using the AC.

After you took dawns and woodhaven you started to treb garrison which was only tier2 at the time, very nice organisation that you are able to split your full server into 2 big zergs and have split push, its very tough to defend against especially when kodash isn´t active on the bl yet. Anyhow the eastern outer wall of garrison was nearly down when we fortunately just got garrison upgraded to tier3! everything got repaired and we were able to take back dawns and woodhaven.

It´s frustrating and annoying to play against vizunah and I guess that´s the way you want it, I know for a fact that the majority of SFR players doesn´t appreciate the way you enjoy to play wvw and that´s too bad. You have your style and we have our style.

Ok, PetricaKerempuh. Your first comment in this thread was a suggestion that we should “trash” vizunah to 3rd place, and hope that they will quit playing the game.

I respond with> We tried to beat them but we couldnt and now we have even less players that makes us even less able to do it.

You question me with asking “has there actually been an effort?” . I think to myself what he means with this question, he must be asking if seafarers and desolation has actually tried to beat vizunah.

I respond to this with > yes we have, giving the fact that we put up an effort and became #1. This was the first thing you actually wanted to make us do > trash vizunah to #3, right?….

Then you come up to me and tell me not to talk about the past and not get offended like a child. You ask me if im a man and wants to take sfr to #1 and if not, what is the point of my post?

Now let me tell you the point of my post, it was to explain to you that seafarers or desolation can´t compete for #1 anymore and doesn´t belong to tier1. It was the first post I made in this thread, you are just creating drama and taking this topic into a different direction, calling me a child and what not.

I think you need to focus on what we are conversating on in the first place. Get out of here!

Stick to topic, read what you responded to in the first place, then think about why I said what I did. I have no intention to start a campaign in this thread to become #1, that post I did was just info for you so you could realise why we need to drop tiers and not fight to be #1. If you dont understand this I have no reason to continue this discussion with you anymore, I don´t like to be called a child when you are the one who dont know what the hell you are talking about.

why dont we on deso and sfr just trash viz until they become 3rd server, and then keep them there until viz night shift gets bored of their fruitless efforts and just quits their french brothers?

it might take a year, but beating viz at their own game (point scoring) sounds something id go over quitting/boycott anytime.

if we make it, would be epic:)

That was the initial plan seafarers had when we came back up to tier1 again with all these new guilds, unfortunately when we reached #1 EU we crashed and burned, there is alot of fingers pointing to alot of things that made us crash and burn but who really knows?

The problem is still that vizunah has alot more players and with that they can have alot more coverage, they have the same numbers as we do at primetime and thats the only time either desolation or seafarers can put up a decent fight, I really dont think that seafarers and desolation has players that actually wants to play 24/7, Vizunah has players that can pick up where their other players left off, when primetime is over someone else comes online and cap.

That´s the main problem and it has always been the problem, vizunah is simply great at keeping players active on the borders and once again, desolation or seafarers cant have players playing 24/7.

People that still arguments about these facts in one way or another are just clueless players.

Come over to tier one NA. SoR could use some Euro’s to make this an awesome match up.

you pay us the migration? it is about 120 to 1800 gems by people migrating.

Migration is not possible unless you farm for 2-3 weeks

Ah! So this might be a good reason for Anet to not adress this situation? They simply want to make unbalanced tiers so players pay gems for transfers into other servers.

Yes yes, there are gold>gems convertions but honestly how many players wants to farm that long for so much gold? Anet gets their profit not from monthly subscription fee, only from people buying gems! Their job is to get players buy as much gems as possible, they want to keep the players, get more players, satisfy and make them pay, pay pay pay.

Seafarer and Desolation doesn´t have the wvw players that was playing when they entered tier1, vizunah still has alot of players. Vizunah has kept it´s playerbase and that´s awesome on their part, to have loyal people that doesn´t leave for various reasons, that can sustain a good coverage and manpower throughout the crisis they might or might not have had.

Desolation and Seafarers is NOT tier1 material anymore, it hasn´t been for a couple of weeks now (if not more) and I doubt that Vizunah are enjoying themselves without a proper fight.

There are still some players and guilds left in these two servers who wants to stay but who can say how much longer? There can still be fights on the borderlands on primetime, desolation and seafarers can still be top ppt but just look at the last 2 weeks end results, vizunah has atleast double the total amount of points. It´s stupid!

I´m from a pretty medium PVE guild in SFR and sometimes I have 4-5 players in my guild playing WvW, there´s no problem at all to join the big wvw guilds in their raids to organise things better.

Atm we have no que at all to several borderlands and we´re leading in points/tally, this is tier1 EU.. Quality over quantity for sure. I´m proud to be part of SFR but we would really like more serious wvw guilds to join

Atm it´s taken a big toll of the big wvw guilds playing so much everyday and on top of that trying to organize the pugs.

Far Shiverpeaks LF casual guild PVE.

Posted by: Samstein.5269

Samstein.5269

I´m playing on Far Shiverpeaks server and i´d like to join a PVE guild for completing achievements.

I feel kinda bored doing it by myself and i´d be happy to join a group once in a while and going through the maps to complete different achievements and the map completion.

I´m playing on GMT+1 about 5 hours/day, I dont consider myself anything else but a casual player and I don´t want to join a hardcore guild that requires my presence for a longer period of time. I´m looking for a friendly casual PVE guild that has a solid group of active players. It wouldn´t hurt if this group has known eachother for some time from other games, i´d be happy to be a guest for some time aswell if you´re shy about inviting new members. It would be great if the guild is using TS and have a nice website.

What do I want to achieve with joining a PVE guild? To make it clear I want to level up different characters all the way up to lvl 80, completing the whole map along the way and doing dungeons once I´ve hit lvl 80. Complete the Slayers achievements etc.
To be able to go online and see a group of people from the guild wanting to complete for example Malchors Leap from 0% to 100% and perhaps next day Straits of Devastation.
To go online and join a group of people that is going for ori gathering.
To go online and join a group that wants to do all the quests for dragon and slaying the dragon.

I DO NOT want to focus anything on WvW or any other kind of PvP right now, I´m searching for a guild that is focusing on doing everything in PVE and achievements (except the PvP Conquerer and World vs World)

I currently have:
Warrior Norn at lvl 80 with 100% map completion that needs some gear upgrades but I put that aside for now. I could use this one for dungeons atm if I can´t level up my mesmer to lvl 80 by the end of this month (although I find that highly unlikely)

Mesmer asura at lvl 67 with 40% map completion.

I play in FSP and I can say that Elona deserves to be in T1 for sure not just because they have alot more presence then Blacktide and us but mostly because they´re just better at WvW overall.

Blacktide are strong 3am-5pm in manpower which FSP doesn´t have any. I believe most of the players that made Desolation full came from FSP sadly so that would be the reason if we go down to tier3.

However I still see a chance to stay on tier2 by beating Blacktide

Stop Selling Commander Title

Posted by: Samstein.5269

Samstein.5269

Stop selling commander title? No thanks.

Are there players with commander title that shouldn´t have it? Ofcourse!

I like the commander title because it´s a good indicator on the map and because of the purpose of the title. Being a commander is a sign that this player knows how to win in WvW, however as we all have experienced this is mostly used only as a “status sign”.

I like the idea of the requirement of having achievements before you can get commander title but the issue is that everyone will sooner or later get them. The solution for this is simply add one more things to it. I´d like to have a requirement of having a minimum achievements completed in WvW, be a guild leader of atleast a 50 man guild just to be able to buy commanders title for 100 gold.

Most of todays commanders are green but I hope that those that have the commitment will learn and earn the role they purchased.

In the end players will learn which commanders to follow and who they should ignore. Players that frequently play will learn from eachother and as time goes by they will be the ones to teach the new players, not a commander.

I just woke up and was thinking of giving a resumé about last nights endevour on EB.

It was a long and painful siege on SM by us in FSP (Elona had possession of SM at this time)

Elona had alot of trebs shooting nonstop on our first line of defence towers Quentin Lake and Durios, the walls were constantly going down. Luckily we had enough strenght to keep the towers from getting taken by groups of Elonas coming in from SM and sometimes we even got DP by BT who came north through Umberglades supplies. We had a (burning) commander online who got sick of defending and decided to rally us all and storm SM.

It took about half an hour of gathering the supplies and courage to charge, about 8PM we stood outside East Gate of SM with 4 rams pounding on the fully reinforced doors, the reaction from Elona was minimal and when the gate was at 10% Elona finally got their wits about them and starting to repair the gate, focusing their trebs and catapults at us, they were swift on defence from our assault.

Meanwhile our main force were struggling outside east gate of SM, we had a zerg of BT coming in through Umberglades to take our camp and the tower Durios. Luckily we got reinforcements from a furious guild (LsL) that were able to reclaim what we lost.

After this we had some people scouting north and saw that BT also had a siege on the north wall of SM so this forced Elona on focusing at defending both north and east.

We were able to continue pound on east gate for some time, the supplies in SM went to 300, then 200, then the supplies in SM finally reached 0. We thought this meant we finally were getting through outer walls, we were wrong! Elona kept defending bravely and pushed us away although this was all Elona could afford to do right now unless it would be taken.

Due to the massive assault on SM, Elona was locked in position and spending all their people on defending (I didn´t see any activity in BT or FSP territory but there might´ve been). Elona was so good at defending east gate that we werent able to keep any sieges at all, they also had alot of arrowcarts on us so we couldnt even get near the gate, we decided to move up outside the eastern wall with catapults on the ground while leaving a small force at the gates as a diversion.

We were able to break through the outer walls of SM at about 9 PM, we swarmed over the outer area and killed anything on the outer walls, we set up sieges on the south outer walls hoping to get through south gate.

Meanwhile BT breached the north wall and we all thought SOMEONE was gonna capture SM be it us in FSP or BT.

Elona fought hard to destroy us in our assault with their trebs nonstop on our force instead, stopping every siege we tried to build. It´s practically impossible to break fully reinforced gates without siege engines.

We lingered outside their inner southern gates for some time hoping to break through with alot of effort but suddenly a zerg consisting of about 30 people of BT came down from outside SM. I thought they were gonna kill us and this was the end of our siege but instead they just used our opening on the east walls and ran north inside SM. (Apparently Elona had somehow repaired the north outer walls and destroyed the sieges that BT had). Things were looking bad, if Elona lost the pressure from BT they would focus their entire force on us!

It didn´t take long before the end, BT were slaughtered inside SM and sadly they gave up on putting any pressure on Elona. They instead came down and tried to capture Durios with a force consisting of about 30 players. We decided that we weren´t gonna give that pleasure to BT cause we had trebs that we needed (Elonas trebs were focusing on defending atm with other objectives so our sieges in Durios were able to hold)

Elona got a breather and were able to repair and bring up the outer walls, sending a group out to destroy the sieges we had outside the east walls. They sent people scouting and finding the trebs we got built in durios and removing that threat easily.

After 3 hours of siege Elona finally secured SM. Good job guys.

10/19 Desolation vs Far Shiverpeaks vs Kodash

in WvW

Posted by: Samstein.5269

Samstein.5269

For a fact Desolation is the only server on EU with a full status (afaik). You got alot of people playing WvW, good for you.

I think it´s kinda unfair fight atm but you win by the rules so there really shouldn´t be anything for us in FSP to whine about. RUIN (amongst others chose your server) and that´s FSP downfall.

I like to compare this with football (yes, soccer). FSP has the same value in their players like Desolation kinda like FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. Only that Desolation is playing with 11 players the whole game while FSP only got 11 players for half the game. This is exactly how it is. FSP can´t put a decent fight cause we simply cant muster the strenght.

Even though we struggle and used to keep a fairly even fight (sat-tue FSP still was able to get highest points/tally) the morale and activeness fails from players when they see the disadvantage.. Right now we´re undermanned even at our primetime so even if we´re able to take a keep we aint got no time to fortify it until desolation comes with a bigger force and takes it back.

This isn´t a competition anymore, it´s just unfair disadvantage which takes all motivation from everyone.

Desolation, if we had the same playerbase it would atleast have been a fair fight but you win all by the rules and are the superior server for sure.

I hope you´ll face more equal opponents in the future.

Talking about WvWvW. This is pretty much the opposite of it.
This kind of situation is nothing but a lot of frustration.

Not quite the opposite in my honest opinion.

At the time this was recorded I had just logged on to eternal battlegrounds , only to see that our enemies from desolation server had taken every keep and tower on the whole map and upgraded it to the teeth. There is no competition! They stood at our doorstep with ballistas and firing nonstop! This is the result from nightcapping.

I´d like to mention that Far Shiverpeaks is by no means a server that lacks any activity or organisation from alot of commanders and wvw guilds. The only problem is that Far Shiverpeaks doesn’t have the manpower to sustain any forts during the night. The only reason for that is because of people living in a completely different timezones chose to get online on Desolation instead of Far Shiverpeaks.

The situation from which you can see in the video ( im Samstein Af Towlson which you can spot in the vid) made me want to check the situation on NA servers so I transfered to the highest WvW ranked server Henge Of Denravi. I immediately looked up WvW and was HORRIFIED. Completely baffled I saw that Henge of Denravi only had 13k points and this server is #2 in points… The #3 was Eredon Terrace with 11k (also a high ranged WvW server) while the #1 server had over 300k and EVERYTHING capped on the map.

I asked around and the information that I was given is that Henge of Denrave used to have a really huge WvW community with thousands of members and Henge of Denrave never once lost a war always having an easy time with no competition so everyone got bored and moved to other servers. So there are several “dead” WvW servers and some WvW servers where everyone has gathered. Pretty broken if you ask me. Everytime some server is set up with 2 empty ones there is no competition and WvW has no value! This is killing the game. killing it. Players being able to swap servers every 24 hours.

One suggestion that I like is the one to balance the players that can be online on the borderlands on each server. BUT, I see a problem with it. There might be 50 guild members that want to play WvW on one server but no players on another server, why would we not let these 50 players not be able to play WvW?

Maybe a solution to this would be that there is also a balance on how many NA players there can be on a specific server (NA players going on EU servers and vice versa)? for example if there´s 100 NA accounts on a server and 0 on another you would only be able to transfer to the server with 0 NA players.
