Guild Wars 2

Wow really, people have to resort to DDOS to jam our comms to win? nice start guys

So much drama, but the week has been filled with some good tough fights from all sides.
Let’s keep it up!

World : Sanctum of Rall

Lag is severe in WvW, but also prevalent in PVE

So my entire guild is experiencing a massive delay >5 secs on everything we do. now i’m disconnected and cant get back on cos of the log in server issue again.

yep same as OP, severe delay in both PVE and WvW

EMP founder here!

We take these sort of actions very seriously in our guild and stress the importance on maintaining a positive reputation while abiding to WvW etiquette. None of us were aware of this situation until fellow leaders/officers notified us directly.(from opposing servers)

Thank you to those that have notified me directly. These members have been dealt with and this issue has been disclosed.

Sorry for any inconvience, see you on the battlefield!

EMP, we had a blast fighting you guys last night from SOS! glad to hear you guys stick to the real game and not stoop to spawn camping. but yea, you guys gave us a great run, had some epic battles. see you on the field!

PVT gear = ~10k
Zerker gear = ~30k

I’ve been running PTV for a while now, and i swapped over from Valkryie then Knights. my dmg is definitely lower in terms of burst. but survivability i must say has increased heaps. you are right though in mid battle, there are times I just drop. but its more due to the massive dmg i’m receiving.
We are frontliners, so we do expect to die quite a bit. but i can usually take a few with me. i’m using a 20,0,20,30,0 build with shouts. so my surv is quite good i must say. and my guild runs warriors in groups. so 5-8 of us warriors in this exact build and gear, makes us an amazing frontline crew. we’re all hammer warriors, my stats are pretty decent, 3k attack, 3k armor and 30k hp. the Toughness makes your Vitality useful, and vice versa. but i guess it amounts to your play style, and this one suits me pretty well.

Sea of Sorrows Grenth is Open!

Still looking for an open Grenth, closed on SOS and BG. been looking for 5 days.

Points 2 and 3 i agree on. Point 1, i don’t. From what i read and interpreted from ANet is that legendaries will be the best in slot. It will go exotics<ascended<legendary. Which it should. The amount of time needed to make a legendary definitely warrants them not being outdated. Now yes, the may not have the specific stat you want like berserker stats or condition dmg but as far as base dmg and the amount of points each stat it does have should be the highest. And of course in the end, it’s all pretty moot since if you are not a keyboard smashing mouthbreather who can’t dodge, then you can run dungeons in blue gear and do just fine.

And i agree, i wouldn’t kill myself to make a legendary. I made a kudzu and it took me like 1200 hours. Just play the game and enjoy it and the legendary will come. Having one or not having one won’t affect your play either way.

not true… Legendaries will be equal with ascended

my guild mate just got banned for the same thing…sigh..

Good battles this week. SBIcoming strong at us. And War Machine. All I can say is OMG. The sheer numbers. Hahah good job guys. Looking forward to a good Xmas week of battles.
Merry Xmas one and all.

Standing around for 3 days shouting for FOTM Lvl 3 doesnt help…since everyone is like 30+

We’re aware of the problem and are working on an active fix. Very sorry about this, hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Please roll this out soon, its frustrating as hell.

Really? We run 5 warriors might stacking. It’s amazing

That’s true, I could just skin the ascended weapon. Makes sense. Thanks.
Also I know they are working on amazing those who skinned right now to have it back to legendary instead of exotic. So all good.

So we know legendaries will always be best in slot which is great. But what happens if you skin it now?

So scenario, I’m happily doing fractals in my ascended gear. A friend wants to play. So now I tell him “go grind your ascended first before you can join us” love it. Lol

LFG fractals. Link Ascended gear or no invite. Haha familiar? I’ll probably get reported or infracted. I’m happy to have new content, I’ll still keep playing, and I’ll get ascended gear. But I can see why people are angry. Don’t make promises you can’t keep.

No
Do not like stat changes. Infusion as per gw1 fine.

Wait? Where are these “factual” numbers coming from? Did they release the dev blog already?

Raise a support ticket. It’s the only way you can get the, to look at it. I’ve heard many people get banned for wrong reasons. Sorry to hear about that, I would hate it too if it happened to me.

Hmmm PvP zone. The idea is to gather up a force strong enough to contend with it. There are a couple of ways, either you organize a group big enough with sites as well. Or use the stealth wells.

Will wait and see. but Anet a little bit more details to arrest the drama thats happening here would be the prudent thing to do.

I dont see how we can have much constructive feedback since we dont have much constructive information. “Slightly more powerful” you’re just opening a can of worms. why invoke drama? you know this would happen. just either remove or reword it to reflect what Infusion really is, its just a form of attunement as we had in GW1, it didnt make our gear more powerful, just able to not be 1 shotted by Mursaat who were made to 1 shot non-infused people. thats all it was. please stick to that. but this time, dont make it we have to do some silly 3 day questline to infuse every piece of my dungeon gear from every dungeon in game. thats just silly, and not fun. but like most people i’d prefer you kep the stat ceiling and just give us better skins.

Put the queue cap on a slider that lowers to be proportional to the population of the other servers in the match up.

During the “day”, when everyone is hitting up against a, say, 100 player queue for each server, everything is fine and operates as normal.
But then “2am” rolls around, and people start going to sleep. Two servers now have 90 players in a given zone whereas before they had 100; the “off peak” server is still hitting the queue.
Now it’s “3am”, and the two servers have 80 players each. This is where the system kicks in:
Lower the queue cap from 100 to 90 for this server match-up. The extra ten people still playing for C don’t get booted out—they get to stay. They’re supposed to be lost due to attrition. Some of those guys are “on peak” players and will be going to sleep.
The more players that Servers A and B lose, the more you lower the queue cap, to a predetermined MINIMUM. The “off peak” server still keeps a population advantage, but the system works to make this only a handful of players, not the 40+ man zergs that run around and take territory uncontested.

The beauty is that the system is self-regulating. It doesn’t impact servers that have 24/7 queues at all. Henge of Denravi and whoever they’re facing in their matchups are still going to have the maximum possible queue size at every hour.
And the “off peak” players who are now getting queues to WvW in their primetime, whereas before they weren’t? Well, now they know what it’s like to be “equal” to the “on peak” players who have large queues during their primetimes.
However, unlike those “on peak” players, the “off peak” have a big advantage. While EVERY server may have a full WvW queue in every borderland at, say, 8pm EST, you can be sure that at 7am EST (primetime for some Australians, for instance) that is not the case. If you happen to be hitting a queue now, due to the self-lowering queue caps.. you could transfer servers to one that doesn’t have the queue. You get the benefit of getting in instantly, AND potentially increasing the queue cap on the server you just left, letting another of your fellow Ozzies in. It spreads everyone around if they don’t like queues, and fosters actual competition at all hours of WvW—not a late-night zerg playing PvE in the WvW zones.

This also works with or without any new point tallying modifications. The goal of fiddling with queues is to PREVENT the imbalance that causes territory (and thus score) to shift solely because of population and being Outmanned.

Have you tried reversing your formula? When you realize America isn’t the world.

we don’t want to inherently make logging in at non peak hours less rewarding than logging in during primetime.
TL;DR Night capping is fun, WvW is 24/7 but getting steamrolled is not fun and we need to work on that to make it better.

I still don’t think you understand it. You say you do but those parts prove you don’t.
You don’t want to make non peak hours less rewarding, Well, hoe about you make peak time more rewarding? The off peak time is already more valuable. If you have higher numbers you roll over the other team. I don’t think I need to explain the issue are there are countless posts about it.
As to your TL;DR, NO. Night capping is not fun. Being night capped IS NOT FUN. Fighting at night is fun. Those two things are fundamentally different. Night capping is taking over when there are no enemies. Night fighting is taking over an objective from a relatively equal opponent.
Please figure it out because so far you don’t know the issues.

Can I say you are night capping Oceanics and cry foul too? Because this is the mature thing to do.

Server : Sea of Sorrows…very sorrowful at the moment.
