We were leading the PPT last night NA Prime time during the five minutes that I was on. Therefore, JQ is the best NA Prime time server when it’s most competative.

And not just last night, but another night as well.

And on weekends, when I’m on, we dominate NA Prime. At least when I’m on.

I don’t care about anything else.

Except that even when we’re not dominating the PPT, we are doing more with less than any other server. That’s winning. Not PPT. Except when we have the PPT lead. Then, that’s winning too.

Basically what it comes down to is when I’m on, the other servers can’t match us player for player skill wise. Zerg all you want, other servers, but that’s not skill! Skill is what we do. Learn it and then maybe you can compete with the best!

High five!

Hahahahahahah. This post is amazing. Absolutely amazing.

…and the best bit is the OP probably believes it all

Nialls.2851:

BG & JQ are excellent at running up the score fighting early morning phantoms, not so much during the competitive hours.

And of course competitive is just the few hours that you play no doubt. Are you sure a 24/7 T1 game is the right one for you ?

kittenzlenit.7648:

Well EU has the better guilds by far…

Interesting opinion but irrelevant.

The exam question was , who would win, this is determined by numbers and coverage, the answer therefore is NA

I think the OPs model works well in a 2 faction game but not in GW2 where the ‘smallest’ server can just act as spoiler.

We need to wait for the march patch and see how that affects the meta.

WvW was meant to be about large battles, and currently it seems that the 10 man group complain about the 20, the 20 about the 40 and now the 40 about the 60+.

A 60+ group is a legit tactic and if it’s a viable winning tactic then we either need to come up with a counter or lose gracefully.

Kript.3291:

SoR= King of NA prime time, and they seem to do extremely well now against the JQ’s night-capping and pvdoor troops during Saturday and Sunday. I’d argue that these two days really show the true strength of a server, as coverage advantage and night capping are removed to some degrees. I really hope more asian/oceanic guilds will consider transferring to SoR, the wvw crews on this server are some of the best in T1, in terms of skills and tactics.

Pushing hard over two days in a 7 day competition does not show the true strength unless the other servers choose to compete equally over this artificial timeline.

We all know by now that the winner is fundamentally determined by numbers and coverage so whatever the position now the ‘result’ this week will be JQ>BG>SOR.

The ‘night capping’ issue needs to die, whilst I see and largely agree the point, Anet have repeatedly stated that WvW is 24/7. This by definition favours those that recruited accordingly and atm the numerical/coverage advantage remains with JQ.

Binafus.8153:

So how many months will Kain have to come in First and SoR come last before Kain will see Tier 1?

Looks to me around three months, am I the only one that sees a flaw in the way Anet runs a ladder?

There’s a good few weeks left of bigger dog attacks smaller dog whilst smaller dog tries to get rid of annoying flea. Meanwhile another small dog waits outside.

Whether FEAR are good or not they were just playing the game.

If only the G(imp) v G(imp) forum warriors put that effort into WvW we’d probably have some better fights.

Ah the anonymity of the internet spawns another digital hero! Bravo, sir! You have made such an excellent point, we will now be closing the internet permanently as there is nothing left to be said.

As far as good fights go, you have to actually stick around to have one.

Ah attempts at humor, makes my day.

Well its nice to see people sticking around the forums all day having a good fight.

Whether FEAR are good or not they were just playing the game.

Bravi, Bravi, Bravi.. clap clap clap

I quit. Goodbye.

Warrior doesn’t have the necessary amount of sustain to properly perform now.
I now have fewer options to build my character (if I decided to spend time buying more gear sets, which I won’t) and I can only be..

1. cookie cutter zerker build
2. cookie cutter shout build

Neither will perform with any congruency with the upper level limit of ability that other classes have. This stuff is the only thing that made melee classes other than guardian playable.

This ridiculously expensive food was the only thing that kept me -close- to on par with guardian while still not being nearly as good at tanking with my tank build.
If nothing is added to warrior to make us viable, I quit. I want viable healing skills or the BWE damage nerfs to be rolled back. If we go zerker, we are squishier than a different class zerker. If we go tank, we are not nearly as survivable as light armored classes if they go -half- tank. Heck, some of them are more survivable in their zerker gear.

Fix the classes before you add sweeping nerfs, ANet. Think ahead sometime. Warrior has no sustain and the knights gear I bought is now -worthless-. Too much wasted time to waste more playing the game. I want a voucher for an entirely new set of armor or I quit.

You did add some legitimate fixes in the patch. Too bad you didn’t make any of my classes viable before removing their last bastions of usefulness. On a competitive level, the dynamic scaling adjustment + removal of this + BWE nerfs + buffs to other classes has made warrior laughable. Its the truth, and its a hard truth to swallow but anyone who disagrees with me is simply ignoring the truth, carved in stone, set in stone into an unshakeable foundation.

Oh, and you who love this patch:
I hope you enjoy dying alot, because you will be dying alot. I can only hope the ground lends comfort to you as you spend day after day on the floor.
You know all the tanking I did for you in dungeons before that wasn’t quite guardian level but at least I did fair damage and combined with a guardian synergized very well?
You know the zerker warriors you like? Guess what was giving them sustain to kill mobs for you?
Won’t be happening now. Prepare to die: Alot. Have fun.

I am not spending the amount of time that would be necessary for me to buy a new gear set other than knights(I have zerkers but I got bored of it) and not going to play a melee class when they are now going to be imbalanced in pve content compared to ranged. Other classes also completely annihilate us in pvp to the point of it being worse than a pre-alpha games balance. I quit.
All you ranged guys? Have fun, after the mobs kill us, they will kill you. It will be hilarious. I will record it and put it on youtube if I decide to log on to witness the cluster**** that will now be dungeons.

I don’t want to play ranged classes to be “competitive” (well, in pve at least, pvp belongs to them), so why play at all?

Sure, people will stay who don’t care about being balanced with other builds and classes, but I don’t want to be vastly underpowered in something I spend so much time. This nerf has completely tilted the meta in favor of the ranged classes and the balance is worse than pre-alpha. Don’t care? You probably didn’t do math or really delve into competitive play.

-Bye-.

Did you do drama at school ?

Score update
SoS seems to be doing pretty well despite their current problems

If having your approx share of the PPT at a particular point in time whilst having <50% of the top servers total score after two days is doing well, I’d hate to see when they are doing badly.

If there was a queue then yes they’re taking up space, but it’s not against the terms of service.

Give the duel kids their own instance to flex their kitten in and everyone will be happy.

The tldr version…

I’m on SOS.
We get crushed every week.
Guilds are leaving.
It’s someone else’s fault.
Please stay and have fun

;)

Zatria.5783:

All WvW is, is a numbers game. This requires ZERO skill and ZERO organization. Just follow the blue icon on your map and zerg through everything. It really gets old on both sides, the winning and the losing.
.

All I read into this is that you’re losing and therefore infer that the other side who have more numbers also by your definition lack skill and organisation, not necessarily true.

However, it looks like this week, you lose. You may or may not have fun, but the game rules are that those with the most points after 7 days win, and in that respect those servers who have numbers or were smart enough to recruit do better, simples.

It adds nothing and is almost certainly an oversight on Anet’s part, hopefully something they’ll fix at some point.

I’m not saying the other servers are stacked but BG currently has the outmanned buff in all four zones.

Blackgate has said themselves that they have given up and are only fighting for fun now

Perhaps you can introduce me to this Mr Blackgate that speaks for the server..lol

I’m not saying the other servers are stacked but BG currently has the outmanned buff in all four zones.

Four months in and it appears that some don’t understand it’s a 24/7 game, good job there’s eight tiers.

You’d expect the top tiers to have recruited for 24 hr coverage…oh wait, some have.

Looks normal to me for a work day.

Yep. Doesnt BG have jobs?

Public holiday here in the UK

yarz widowmaker.5893:

……….
For others its been a great fight and we will see you all after the holidays.

SOR yes, IOJ probably not

Nice to see a declining server’s last gasp push.

oZii.2864:

LOS is not going to go back to the way it was you just have to move on and adjust.

I can understand that, my issue is I can’t understand exactly what LOS is needed.

I can see the defender on the tower, im fact I can see 50% of him, I have LOS…yet I cant hit him..obstructed, a slight bump in the rode…..obstructed.

It’s as if the hitbox for all chars is their little toe.

The post is about the Mesmer in WvW, not sPvP or PvE.

WvW largely being about taking and defending stuff, usually Keeps and Towers.

The pre patch Mesmer was useful, especially at taking out that hard to reach siege or the behind the door catapult. Now in a keep/tower situation we are largely going to stand there with our fingers up our kitten.

…or more likely given that siege is the new king, it’ll become ’ everyone useful attack/defend the walls, mesmers on the siege’

I’d have almost been ok with it if Anet actually understood what LOS actually means and could code accordingly e.g. My Los to that 7ft Norn is not lost by that rabbit in the way.

Hey guess what guys, it’s the SBI vs JQ vs BG again. Good luck.

Quick correction ….

Hey guess what guys, it’s the (SBI + JQ) vs BG again. Good luck

Blackgate – In Queensdale, Scholar Detti spawns regularly, the event completes but no doors.

Someone tell me how long it takes to execute a …..

6k Steal
3k Cloak and Dagger
9.5k Backstab

..and I’ll work out if I can react in time. Methinks not

The Melandru chain has been stuck for 4 days, Magister Izzmek is a lazy kitten.

Ditto, received blues and greens ranging from level 18 -78, would be nice to get an official comment and some offer of the correct rewards.
