Guild Wars 2

The title pretty much says it all – there was one week of time and you update now? Please, reset night is usually when the most action is going on in wvw.

A lot of the people on my server are horrible but these forums and other servers’ in-game-performance keep reminding me that it would be even worse on [enter your server here]

thank you for sharing

7 weeks of WINNING silver league and you still don’t get it.

PS: I’m waiting for “A message you posted has been moved to another forum”

Amazing thread – please go on

WvWvW and PvE populations should be decoupled and there should be incentives to transfer to lower-ranking servers – I hope that’s what ANET’s doing with the data collected in S1.
As for people leaving servers because of performance – I think that’s mainly a community problem.
It might be harder on lower-ranking servers but we survive because we stick together: server forums, a public mumble server where guilds and pug-rallybait live together in harmony making fun of / supporting each other.

The people who weren’t happy about us deciding to tryhard for gold league didn’t transfer off but “took some time off” and are back now.

The way players transfer, a large chunk of the population on JQ used to be on SBI. There is very little server loyalty in GW2. The way WvW was designed, guilds just transfer to wherever they think they will win (or stay “relevant”). The top three servers might change, but the players and guilds on them don’t.

If it makes you feel better, the majority of the guilds in T1 are garbage. Also, Mag hasn’t lost a WvW guild in probably 6+ months.

We lost plenty – they just weren’t noticeable before they left…

…or after.

If you moved away from Maguuma, please consider staying where you are.

Yeah, that agony kills wvw for me as well!

Your mom must be so proud!

I am now reminded of why I’m not a forum warrior. Good day to you.

PvF is a strange game. Often, the only winning move is not to play.

Oh – I’ve got one as well: “just eat some cake when you’re being bullied for being a fattie”

If there’s no option to report hackers, it must mean that they dont exist in this flawless game.

(yes I mainly posted here to get a notice as soon as the thread gets deleted)

edit: saved the page – just in case

this thread killed maguuma

OOC revive for the dead, slower revives and more incentive to respawn (by making life harder for people who just got revived…).

“Defeated characters remain at zero health until the process completes, at which point they are restored to 25% of their maximum health.” Change this to 10%

“After revival, targets become invulnerable for one second.” replace that with 4 points of downed penalty (insta-death instead of downed).

That way they would have a higher repair bill and keep more people busy when they try to res.

There should have been daily achievements. (I’m not in the mood to think about the right numbers so interpret them as placeholders

• daily invader killer – kill 20 enemies
• daily camp capturer – cap 5 camps
• daily defender – get 10 gold, silver or bronze rewards for (successfully) defending a structure
  .
  .
  .

It’s sad when a 7-week-meta achievement can be finished in 3 days – especially since most of the achievements for the meta were things you can do just as well in PvE.
Actually fighting the other servers should have been the focus of the meta (Or at least stuff that helps your server PPT if that really has to be)

ding ding ding – it’s score time again!

Just out of interest – did the wvwvw dev actually play on NSP during the season?

Peetee.9406:

Edge of the Mists is the single best update they have made to date, let me give you an example:

Blackgate vs Sanctum of Rall vs Maguuma

SoR/Mag know they can’t compete with BG for overall PPT so they won’t even try. Their entire playerbases will move into Edge of the Mists. SoR outnumbers Mag so SoR will occupy EotM 1-4 while Mag occupies EotM 1-2.

So you will have this situation:

EotM 1-2 – 40v40v40
EotM 3-4 – 40v40v0
EotM 5-10 and 4 regular maps – Blackgate vs Nobody

There’s no way to queue directly into different overflows of the mist. So it’s not like Blackgate players will be able to queue for EotM 1-4. They will have their choice of playing on 4 empty regular maps or an empty EotM map.

Literally 80% of Blackgate’s playerbase will not even have 1 enemy player to fight against. Their maps will be completely devoid of enemy players. They will have to transfer if they want to fight against other players again.

It’s a great kittening update.

You forgot the many people who will leave EotM after losing to even numbers over and over again – In your system there will still be movement in EotM 1-2.

nekretaal.6485:

I like these ideas, borrowed from the other threads.

1. Give winning server players 1 free transfer, usable until the start of the next season and.

2. Give the server the prize pool, and give each player with a key a share of the pool, So for example. BG: 1000G, split among 10k players, Mag, 850g, split among 300 players. (Totally made up numbers)

Right so BG the winning server gets kitten all money for each person but Mag Get kitten tons of money for each person?

We had to work a lot harder individually… all you had to do was wait for your queue to pop. (illustrated very nicely in this picture: http://i.imgur.com/7MfwHVA.jpg )

^.^ tc is a small server and we’re still growing. would like to have more ocx sea players or eu join us. ^,^

hi to all more power wee. ^,^ keep up the fights mag and sos

Awesome video – I especially liked the horribly choppy fights and the person in guild chat “logging off because that lag is killing” them.

PS you’re very proficient at building a ram!

virtue.7235:

aggs week, well we only raided 3 days, thanksgiving op! :P
good luck with finals everyone

Wow, you’re a lot of skill!

confusion: your next attack hits the closest 5 friendly players (including yourself) instead.

Xenn.3809:

I think would have made a better reading you guys arguing and dramatise what’s the WORST server.

I’m pretty sure we’d win both competitions at the same time.

DivineBeing.2086 – you’re fantastic and I’ll give you 1 gold if you come to Maguuma.

DivineBeing.2086:

In reality though, all you’re doing is wasting a potential slot where another player who actually wants to play WvW may actually do so. No queues? I doubt you have no queues 24/7.

If we have queues it’s on 1 or 2 maps max and they pop after 20 minutes max (on reset usually all maps are queued). … because door-fighting people are wasting the slots of people who want to fight people from other servers who want to fight people from yet another server.

~people~

RyuDragnier.9476:

Thank goodness…I just switched my WvW main from Ranger to Thief, so this helps greatly. Soon my thief shall have all that my Ranger has and more. Maxed out Arrow Cart Mastery, here I come.

You are so pretty – please post more!

Drigan.7382:

FA stuff

I was there and you definitely weren’t trying to tank – those were two exhausting weeks right before the season!
http://mos.millenium.org/servers/view/38/113

Thanks for listening.

Split up into 4 new guilds and have halfway skilled people teach your mindless blob how to fight.

“tattered hide, small spike, small claw” sounds like you’re trying to get mad stacks by killing coyotes at spawn – next time look for humanoids – you’ll get there :-)

eithinan.9841:

are you mad i beat you 1v2 warthog?

TBH 8 sec cooldown just matches my play style perfectly.

Not mad at all – and you have to admit that the 1v1 afterwards was pretty kitten close :P

I just ran into plexies significantly more often when matched up against your server. Mesmers I’m actually fine with – they’re supposed to dish out confusion – your thieves on the other hand – bleh. I’m not going to type what I think about perplexity engies.

RIP BG roamers…

Zephyrus.9680:

Guardian kites from ele for 2 minutes till its 1v3. Still goes down. Laughs when team saves him. #T1roaming

If your being kited by a guardian your doing something wrong…

Thank you for your subtlety – you’re a hero of mine now!

Yours truely

Prysin.8542:

well, we get what we ask for.

First we cry about too little stuff to do in WvW. ArenaNet listens and adds LS features, simply because experience has shown that LS features are the most effective and engaging way to get attention to a section of the game.
Then we cry about achievement hunters and all that. ArenaNet listens and tones down the LS features.
Then we cry about WvW being dead again…

I’m definitely not one of your “we” – the only thing my “we” want them to change is that “we” don’t want to be forced to run dungeons or farm champions in PvE when “we” need money.

I’m making a spy account as I’m typing this!

…hope I’m doing this right…

Oh please not another living world invasion!

1 copper per 1000 points of damage dealt to enemy players or structures.
And some finishers for the first few servers.

Or as others mentioned a pot that’s distributed amongst people who got the achievement by hours spent in wvw.

That would be a nice step towards showing people how (in?)significant their contribution really is.

Voting for Vabbi – simply because I’d be there had we not won gold league.

Colin.5801:

Reading through this thread…wow…Mag’s PvF effort really is as legendary as I’ve heard. Entertaining stuff.

It’s too bad their in-game effort can’t match it. I believe the scoreboard speaks for itself.

Hooray, we won the game!

[metapost] Oh god – this thread went from total flop to me crying with laughter!
Fantastic job!

No that would be “just play spvp if it bothers you”

What a bad troll – everybody knows flame rams have their own siege cap.

Stacking sigils are not easy to use – try switching to something that’s more suitable.

Liquid.9672:

Because many people (myself included) came to the conclusion that karma trains can sometimes do more harm than good. Not everyone agrees with the opinion, but that’s just fine. Also, you won’t get a karma train out of Magumma so there you have it.

I’m not exactly sure what I’m looking at with this image, but that map question from W Rod in the pic towards the top left, and response, fully cracked me up. Seriously, you gotta love Mag. From pushing to intentionally make gold league, to telling karma trains during the JQ match to go take a hike. /respect

You’re confusing me! Please stop making sense / make your insults more obvious so we T2 scrubs understand them!

looks like the same all around – second place focusing third while first dishes out evenly
