WvW Commander of Blacktide.

Coverage you all say. Coverage has to come from somewhere. The lack of a girlfiend and work will let players to play more. So a good server has unemployed lonely players.
Another way to get green POI and vistas is to join your servers night crew and night cap everything on the green side (just leave Blacktide alone)
Vabbi will be green again in the matchup after this next one. Unless Vabbi manage to beat either Blacktide or Miller.

Vabbi will be up against Blacktide and Miller Sound next week. MS will be green, Blacktide blue and Vabbi red. The colors are based on the server rating.
You can see Vabbis current rating here: http://mos.millenium.org/servers/history/10
Another suggestion to avoid gold sellers: Dont login to the game. I havnt been playing for a week and I havnt got bugged by any gold sellers so far, its really working!
It amazes me that despite having a search function at your disposal, people insist on creating the same thread over and over.
You havnt used the search funtion the past year, have you? Its broken, hence the same thread over and over.
Im about 90% sure Ill just quit the game when the megaserver hits, so no, Im not happy with this.
Will the main Hub be a part of the Megaserver solution?
As a heavy WvW, I can see problems with finding a afk/chill spot if the Hub is a part of the Megaserver. The possibility to troll and flame guild members from other server wont be good for the community.
Please, leave the Hub server-only!
Hahaha , i like the fact ur "pro " Guilds were wiped by 80 random roamers
.
There, I fixed it.
Epic fail Blactide? Only 4 camp, 5 towers and 0 keeps ^^
And all borders in queue. Our WvW players cant enter WvW and our PvE Achivement hunters just circle the ruins, work as rally bot or wasting supply. The situation is horrible atm! But its a long season, give it a week or two to let them finnish thier stupid achivements. Then we can fight for real!
The humiliation of death > repair costs.
Ive never ever cared about repair costs but letting my commrades down by rally botting is a big isssue for me.
I held Dzagonour as favorites before this weeks matchups. The only server I feared to face. But after this week matchup, I have to hold my home server as winners. Still have to see how Miller Sound is like, but from what I heard they are pretty much like Dzagonur, a big blob of players.
The table will end something like this:
1. Blacktide
2-3. Dzagonur, Millers Sound
4-5. Ruins of Surmia, Arbostone
6-7. Whiteside ridge, Vabbi
8. Fissure of woe
9. Underworld
Only thing that can mess this up is the Achivement Hunting Rally bots.

Anet’s attempt to handicappaing is to adjust the transfer costs to the servers.
Blacktide has reborn!
We are now aiming to be in the top of the bronze league. We have all chances to win it!
If you wanna have an exiting tournament, you should join us while the transfer is still free!
Just take a look at the transformation from the same matchup, 4 weeks ago:
Week 9: http://s9.postimg.org/jcnn977zz/before.png
This week: http://s15.postimg.org/mokduketn/now.png
Transfers to Blacktide:
[Lion] Man eaters – from Gunnars Hold
[FRS] Fremen Sietch – from Ruins of Surmia
[RiOT] The Civil Rebels – from Far Shiverpeaks
More guilds is on the way!
Welcome Niize! Glad to have you
The impact you guys have had on our server this week is magnificent! Our morale is higher than ever and Im actually looking forward to fight for the top of the bronze league for the upcomming tournament.
Just what we need! More commanders on Blacktide during the night! You are very much welcome! Big Welcome to FRS too, your commanders have allready made queues for EB
If you need more ppl during the night, you can add Blacktide Union in your guild list (representing isn’t required) and just whisper those who are online at the time.
We can talk more about that in game, see you there!
One more WvW guild will soon join us on Blacktide. Im avoiding to say thier name incase they wanna keep it under the radar, but they sure look awsome on thier youtube clips!
Bumping since Blacktide is my world, my home, my love.
(edited by Vaugh.7193)
Awsome, cant wait to see you guys on the battlefield!
Great news [Loin]! You are very much welcome to us
Just buy them all in TP if you dont wanna click xxxx times. My guess is that anet want it to be time consuming to make all those superior siege.
HI UW! We miss you. We might be joining you guys there soon the way things are going. – a guy from blacktide.
HI LEILA! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
You arnt allowed to leave Blacktide, Yum Yum! Who else would scout and fixing upgrades for us?
Helping you to bump again, but you dont have to look any longer, I have the perfect guild for you
As Stars We Belong is a small friendly guild with 30 members. We arn’t actually looking to grow larger, but your post got me intrested. We are located on Blacktide and with the free transfer fee thats comming up you have a great opportunity to try the waters before you decide to actually move.
We doing all the end game content you are looking for, WvW, dungeons and world bosses. And the most imprtant activity ofc, chilling in Lions Arch (well Vigils keep right now) and just chatting hours away
Contact me in game if you have any questions or want an invite.
Did you forgett to press 1 when fight starts?
Having to represent the guild to be able to chat to your guild mates breaks the use of a multi guild system! Please give me a chat channel for every guild I am in.
There is times I agree with OP (when guardians putting light fields on gates when only fire/water fields has been ordered). But controlling the combo fields makes the diffrence between an organized raiding group and a random players following the blue commander badge, doing random skills.
I love my server community. And wouldnt we be in overflows all the time?
Other MMO games have gem store items to send messages accross the server. Usually used for guild recruiting or trolling. If its an own channel you can turn on and off its ok I guess.
I would like to see that /t worked across all borders instead of beeing a backup for /m when you become suppressed. That could help wvw communication alot.
Hi ElFish!
You are welcome to join As Stars We Belong. I can whisper you in game later this evening and we can have a little chat.
From a strategic view point, this is on the top of my wishlist. But then it would be so boring to capture objects, as it is now when commander decides to use catas on a wall instead. You just standing there watching a wall go down. Just as fun as watching the paint dry. Atleast something happens when you autoattack the door.
If upgrade costs are gold sinks, it should draw gold from all players from the server when upgrading, even PvE. Not just one person. Everyone on the server benifits from upgrading. Yes, even PvE players, every point earned gives them buffs too.
I agree with OP, this is poor game design. Ive been thinking the same thing everytime I spend 3 golds on a WvW evening on upgrades.
Trolling with upgrading? Seriously, just build rams on walls if you wanna troll your own server.
I belive the social element comes after time spent in the game and not after hitting level cap. It took me about 6 months to form a social guild with the right members. It took me about a year to get intregated with the server community.
When I look back on my previous mmo games, the time spent in game is about the same to reach the social status as I am at now.
I agree with OP, this happens way to often to Blacktide aswell. PUG guilds putting thier nice guild banner up, Im sick of it!
I would like to see these solutions:
1. Be able to override a guild claim if the claiming guild has no buffs activated
2. Remove the 3 min claiming CD when capping an object, so small guilds within a zerg can activate thier buff sometimes.
I want to help my server and my community, but Im not allowed due game rules. But trolls are allowed to sink the community. GG there.
Welcome back to Tyria!
Im the leader of the small guild As Stars We Belong [STAR] on Blacktide. We have about 25 members today, but wont grow larger than 30 members. We want a friendly atmosphere, or to quote the TV-serie “Cheers”: Where everybody knows your name.
We focus on WvW, tPvP and end game PvE content. But if members wants company when leveling alts, not many of us would say no to revisit a lower lvl zone.
If this sounds intresting, you are welcome to try us out.
Its allready “implented”.
On this website, follow these steps: Community -> Leaderboards -> Achivements -> Filter by -> Guild -> Select a guild -> [YOUR GUILD]
Hovering your members AP will show the date when they got thier last AP.
You have to be logged in to do this.
It’s not the same thing. Just because people don’t earn AP doesn’t mean to say they have not logged in or done productive stuff towards the guild.
Better than nothing. Getting 1 AP from dailys is so easy, so if a players AP hasn’t moved for 3 months, he or she is most likely inactive.

That would require alot from the AI in the game. I doubt guards can even be as good as even the biggest noob in the game right now.
If a developer has the attitude “Thats to hard to do, I rather not do it”, they are in the wrong business.
Whats wrong with RTL now anyways? I went from staff to S/D after the RTL nerf and I find RTL very usefull, one of my fav skills.
It could be becouse of that condition build gets useless when there’s to many other condtion builds on the same boss.
So you end up with dead weight, beeing useless, and scaling boss to be even harder.
If you dont want your own computer to be up and running TS all the time, then the cheapest way to get your own VOIP-server is to buy an Rasberry Pi and install Mumble on it. Those servers is the size of a deck of cards and runs without a noisy fan. And they dont cost more than the Guild Wars 2 game did.
Outside the box thinking: What if players doesnt get rewarded for capturing things, but rewarded for the points your world gets on the tick.
It took me a year to get my first kill 1vs1. It was a warrior. Was it you?
Only statement they will come about numbers/limits on a map is that they won’t reveal it, as it’s company policy :/
If they try to keep it as a secret, then Im surprised no one actually orginized a head count in a year.
Instead of server population, the gem cost could be based on server activity. Activity of a server can be caluclated with Achivement points:
Total achivement point / Total server population = Activity value
The Activity value then needs to monitored weekly or monthly, to see what server is currently most active.
There is alot of inactive players out there. If I look at the Achivement leaderboard for my guild, I can see that about 50% of the total player base hasnt even reach 1000 AP yet. I would consider all those players inactive, unless they started to play 2 weeks ago. These inactive players really hurt communites like UW it seems.
As in every other MMO Ive played longer than 3 months, my guild is what keeps me logging in every day.
Thats enought “guild features” for me.
I guess I shouldnt complain, but I dont have any intention to exploit a game either.
Yesterday my guild had the +5 supply upgrade activated. We took a camp, claimed it and got I got 15 supply. Thats working as intended.
As we went to other camps, we got more and more ppl from other guilds following us (I did had my commander badge on) and after taking a camp I am no longer able to claim it. The camp has no supply buff on it. But I can still get 15 supply from the camp. This repeat itself for a few times on other camps and supply pickups. Not sure if it ever stopped since I always tried to claim camps anyway.
Just thought to let you know, no rush fixing this, Im happy with +5 supply
Nice attempt on our Bay Blacktide you rudely awoke our RoF scouts from hibernation with that one :P
Indeed it was a nice attempt! Im impressed how you guys keept ressing the lord without dying from the aoe in there.
I will be back tonight, your scouts better be on thier toes!
1. Gather a group of 3-5 players, or how many you need to take over a camp.
2. Take over a camp
3. Build a golem with the supplies
4. Mount the golem and use the way point
5. Repeat step 2 to 4 untill you have enought golems to take over castle
6. Gather as much players you can and march with all golems to catsle and take it. If you fail, start from step 1 again
Good luck, achivement hunter!
