Guild Wars 2

i have see this aswell, to the point of not getting a chest after the boss is downed…not even a bronze medal. just cause my skills lagged too much for me to do enough dmg.

As far as rangers go;
In PvE the name plate don’t matter because the enemies will attack either you or your pet based on dmg, toughness…or whatever factor.

In PvP, the enemy players will ignore the pet and only attack the player.

Rangers use medium armour, and have lower personal dps then other classes. Their pet make up the differences here. The name tag is a distracting factor and working as intended. It helps the survivability of the ranger, even if only for 1-2 dmg abilities toward them. Removing the tag makes the pet almost completely useless, and hinders rangers below the survivability threshold of other classes.

My comments about DR not being organized was meaning; Inter-guild coordination.

I would say, no. WvW isn’t about PvP. If you think about it, there is no reason to kill anyone, other then to cap an objective. I don’t understand why people keep trying to force every to think WvW is about PvP. Pv kitten omething that happens in WvW, but has no real purpose.

*is something…not sure why its “kittening” that part.

Numbers are an issue, but not the only reason DR can’t pull ahead. If you look at reset, DR had lead most of the evening. Then coordination fell apart. I’m new to DR, but in my week here, I do find a lot of resistance toward learning from someone else. We need to open our minds to new ideas more.

DH don’t use many tactics, and why should they? Its faster and easier to just mass swarm everything. Not knocking you for it, just stating the facts. Frankly, I see very little actual tactics from any of the servers here. Not to say I see none, just not very often.

Guys calling each other out and making yourself sound good, is will just create a negative attitude toward your server. Appreciate your enemy for they do well, and find ways to counter. Stop coming to forums to try winning a battle you already lost…save it for the field.

Also, don’t make u mandatory for benefits to the buff, this will put more thought into where and when u place your buffs.

No, if you are running in a zerg, then u drop a speed buff, u may be leaving half your group behind, therefore you will pull your group to the side and move together…thus breaking up the zerg.

Just 1 thought here…

What if instead of removing the AoE limit, but impose the same limit to Buffs as well. only 5 peeps get swiftness buff, only 5 peeps get healing buff…ect.

I may be wrong here, but I’m sure that more then 5 receive the benefits from these skills.

My suggestion would be get in a guild group, or ask a commander on the field if u can get in voip. This way you would have a lot better understanding whats going on, and why they are pulling off so often.

I’m really sorry so many first time WvW’ers get this as their first introduction to such a fun part of GW2. Please don’t let this deter u from WvW. Like I said get in a guild that runs ops, and get in voip…it’ll change everything for u.

I totally am on board with everything you are suggesting, except the player kills. This one is a “fundamentally wrong mechanic”. I also understand what you are trying to do, and though we disagree on this 1 issue, I am on your side to make serious changes.

As far as the capping vs defending debate. My suggestion would be a bonus tick everytime you get the reward for being part of it. This tick amount cannot be to outrages as to cause an imbalance, but enough to make a difference. in the ball park of 3 points per 3min defence. THIS NUMBER IS TOTALLY SUBJECTIVE AND VERIABLE.

Not 3 points per player defending, but 3 points total, for a successful 3 min tick defence. The 3 min tick is the point at which u get your gold/silver/bronze reward.

Armour and Weapons for sale in WvW are only shown for your current level range and the next level range.

I’m not into searching for it, but…

I remember someone from Anet mentioning that its a systems thing, why siege is soulbound…sorta. They added the feature of dropping them for somebody else to pick up, because they couldn’t change the soulbound issue.

I know this don’t help all your issues, but I hope it helped some.

The whole premise to your argument is that people will fight around these objectives, but reality is; killing players is easier then trying to cap a keep of defend. Making the player kills the sought after point tick.

As for my personal view of WvW; Its a giant 3 sided game of chess to me. PvP is part of the game, but not the fun factor. Out playing other players tactics is more fun.

I would like to thank all 3 servers for a fun evening last night. It was my first reset in this tier and enjoyed IoJ’s BL all evening. We, (DR) pushed hard. You, (IoJ) pushed back. Then DH decided we were having too much fun and decided they wanted to come play too. But we (DR & IoJ) pushed them out of the fun corner, and made them sit in their own comer and sulk. (J/K DH)

All in all, it was a great reset and fun night. THANK YOU!

This day and age in any type of competitive game, if you offer rewards to killing other players, regardless of any other type of reward available; People will go for the player kills first.

As it stands right now, the rewards for killing p-layers are so nominal, that it frankly isn’t worth it, yet on every server at anytime of day, you can see squads of people just out looking for other players to kill.

I accept PvP in my WvW, but rewarding them in such a substantial way, just creates an environment of griefing. Its bad enough there are no real rewards for winning outside bragging rights. Now to extend those same bragging rights directly to killing plaers…well Anet might aswell remove every structure on the field and just call it SPvP on roids.

The points for killing players will make every other objective VP worthless. You will be able to kill more players in the hour the you would get for holding a tick. Therefore making spawn camping the best strat to use. Siege set up around every spawn exit just to get those player kills…

Player kill points should never enter WvW. That is a sPvP thing.

I really like the ideas presented, but #3 is just gonna cause griefing, and unsportsman like behavior. I can see the abuse of this mechanic already.

I know zergs are the biggest gripe lately, but they do serve a purpose. If you really think of medieval warfare, it wasn’t conducted in 5 man assaults. It was army on army. With small strike teams pillaging the countryside.

With that said; All the constant favoring toward zergs is getting a little much. There is little to no reward for not being in a zerg. Anet implemented the sentries in the beta to give solo and small teams things to do. They understood back then that this was what folks wanted; More small team objectives. But somewhere along the way, they forgot about this and just kept hindering the small team play to the point of almost not even “fun” anymore.

For the record; I only play small team tactical strike groups. I think its the best part of WvW, but I also get next to no rewards for my efforts. It made me sick to hear Anet congratulating someone getting lvl 30 in Wxp before the first reset after the patch. I’m still only lvl 6, yet I’m in there for 3+hours a night.

As stated above; I’d suggest finding the right guild, over server. They are the ones you will be spending most your time with. Not saying a good community is not important, but guild should be higher priority.

Guardian vs. Ranger.

I’m bias, but will try to be as objective as possible.

Guardians have a lot of utility and survivability. They drop buffs and take conditions for their allies. Basically a really good dmg sponge. But they are really hindered in the range department. Whether that be on the field or assaulting and defending an objective’s walls.

Rangers are very versatile, by being more selfish. They don’t offer much utility to their team, but can have as much survivability as a guardian. They are good in Melee and Ranged combat, where ever the fight should ensue. They also have some of the fastest consistent mobility. They don’t have many tools to utilize combo fields, which makes them less of a dps in larger battles.

Personally; I would suggest, find a class that’s fun for you to play, and learn ever facet of that class to create as much fun as u can. Every class has so many variable ways of playing them, that one way may seem horrible, but just changing a weapon can make it seem like an entirely new class. Gw2 broke the mold of set classes when it launched. Its more about your play style then the actual class.

Hell no!!

Like the person above me, this would promote even more zerging. The amount of peeps to hit this fast enough to kill it would be impossible for a small defence team.

This will be my last bump. I promise.

I plan on making my decision before next reset, and it takes time to research guilds and servers. I am not making this choice quickly. I’m putting a lot of time and effort to make sure my choice is the right choice.

I thank all those who have contacted me, and encourage others to do so as well. I have gotten back to every inquiry, large or small, even those that did not read my post. But those drive me nuts.

Karuna;
Thank you for your interest, but I’m quite adamant about lower tiers. I do have a lot of respect for TC and love to community you have there. It should be the envoy of every other server. KH and my guild did not see eye to eye when they were on CD, so we tended to avoid each other.

PAGamer;
I’m not opposed to BP, but to date have not heard from any guilds there, with the exception of yours. Also thought it was a good opportunity to state something, I been saying in a lot of private messages aloud for everyone to hear.

Thank you Tuluum.

It does surprise me there is no coordinated community on each of these servers. I thought it to be the norm these days on all servers. Although, your description of each server came with unbiased opinion, and that holds a lot of weight in my eyes.

Not to interested in building another guild. I’ve had very hard feelings about where I am right now, and how I got here. I really have no choice out of respect to my server but to transfer off. I will be leaving behind a lot of relations because of this. I have also had several GL’s sad but understanding why this is the way it has to go, hence the references.

CD will live in my heart forever, but its time to find a new home.

WvW is not PvP, its siege warfare. PvP is just something that happens. You should get no Wxp for player kills. if you want xp for killing other players, go to sPvP and rank up there.

But to the OP’s question; Yes this new ranking system was not thought out well. Or they just blatantly ignored one of the top problems with WvW when creating this. The ZERG. People have been begging Anet to create more ways to make the zerg less effective since the betas. Anet says they are working on things, to appease us, but nothing ever happens…its frustrating.

I love WvW and will continue to play it for as long as I can. My only wish is that Anet would try some of the suggestions the community provides daily here. Even if only on a temporary basis, periodically. Not ever suggestion is viable, but the more simple ones, like AOE hitting 15’ish would be simple, and could be switched back in a moments notice. They have proven since Tuesday that they can through patches out faster then monthly.

Hello, DR and DH…IoJ as well, but this is directed more to DR & DH.

I’m so glad there is a fight night arranged on Thursdays. This is something I have enjoyed being a part of on CD, and will look forward to enjoying again soon with one of you. It is looking like by next reset…not tomorrow…I will be choosing between you two servers.

I have read through most of this thread to get to know the two of you….interesting read, all I got to say. Well I guess not ALL I got to say…You guys should start to respect your enemies a little more. On the same note I have seen a lot worse so there is effort here, which is a good sign. Just fight the good fight on the field, and pad your enemy when they deserve to be padded on the forums. Chewing the rag makes everyone resentful and bitter.

But the main reason for me posting here is; Are there community leaders for each of these servers that I could be put in touch with?

This has been mentioned a few times in convos, and I’d like to make it clear.

I not looking for only a WvW guild. What I am looking for is a guild that is interested in utilizing my skills and abilities. A PvE guild is fine, if they have intrest in learning how to WvW. A WvW guild is fine too, if they are willing to learn from the new guy.

And, my decision will not be made till next week. By reset time on Friday Apr. 5th

I’m not much of a fan of “bumping”, but would like to get this process over within a week. So to increase exposure…

Amendment:

Please be sure to read the wall of text. I’m sorry its so long, but there is a lot of information there. I’m not just LFG, there are other factors to consider.

This is a feeling out process. I have not made up my mind yet.

I have recently merged my guild into another guild that we worked with closely. This was due to numbers, and lack of recruitment. Yes this could be called my fault, but I do believe this was a good move for my members. I am NOT a recruiter, my specialty is leading small team tactics, siege placement and usage. I got thrust into GL position by my co-leaders leaving the game. I tried my best to make us the best we could be, but nobody would take up the recruitment role. I love each and every member of my original guild, and think the merge was the best option.

The only problem with this merger is my role. This is gonna sound very odd, but if read it fully I hope you understand. I want to leave the new guild because I respect them a lot. This is in the best interest of the stability of the guild leadership. I have a very large reputation on my server. It would not be right for me to take the lead of the WvW efforts over the current leadership. I can already feel the pressure to take reigns, but refuse to do this out of respect for my new guild. It is not my intent to destabilize this new home for my former guild’s members.

So, now with your understanding of why I’m considering this move; I’ll give you a bit about myself.

I’m a WvW player! I hold very little interest in PvE, or sPvP. That’s not say I don’t do any PvE, gotta pay for WvW somehow…lol. I have been playing GW2 since the first beta, actually should say, I been playing WvW since the first beta. Many like to call me an elitist, but if you ever run with me it becomes apparent that I am far from it. I AM however very focused, and determined. I am a commander on the field, BUT I hold no commander badge. I have no use for them. I find they attract too much attention at all the wrong times and places.

I’d like to go into the non “Elitist” thing deeper. I have done more with a 5 man group then a lot of 20+ man zergs. I have ninja’ed everything including SMC (I’m not on a bottom tier server either). I don’t require certain builds or classes, or even lvl to run WvW. I take and utilize what I got and make the best of every opportunity available. The one thing I do require is unquestionable following. Many times, I will lead to our death, but it serves its purpose. Tactics and maneuverability are my specialty.

Another area I truly shine at is Siege placement and usage. This is kinda where my OCD kicks in. WvW is siege warfare, not a PvP game. Siege plays such an important role, that its placement can mean victory or death. A siege placed in the wrong spot is just a waste of supply, prints, and time. I may not hold the title because of the unachievable achievement, but have been called on 2 servers a siege master. I don’t mind folks that are unsure and make mistakes placing, but it drives me insane when I see folks that think they know, and refuse to learn better tactics. I’m also very proactive about counter siege. Meaning; I don’t scream in chat “we are being trebbed” for 20 mins not doing anything…frankly, I usually don’t say anything other then to my team as we head out to counter.

So what am I looking for?

1) I’m looking for a guild that is in need of a WvW commander. Not just a badge, but a true commander.
2) I’m looking for a server from NA T4 and lower. I have no interest in top tiers.
3) I’m looking for a guild that has players from 7pm ‘ish to midnight ’ish EST
4) I need, and most guilds have, but still must be said; A reliable voip communication in place.
5) I’m looking for a team/server that is looking to learn some top quality tactics.

I won’t be doing a knee jerk guild/server hop. I would like to meet, chat, and even guest to get to know each other.

I’m sure I could be able to get references to my abilities, but this will require some subtle tact. I don’t wanna send my server/guild crazy. I’ll make sure my current guild will be one of the contacts. Although, I may attract a lot of attention with this post…but we’ll see.

Contact me in game or here.

I remember this from the first beta….I still have nightmares of it, and its black minons….

I was told they already nerfed the rabbits in GW2.

This depends on a number of different factors. Bay is pretty easy, but I think I would have to vote green keep easiest for my team. Its easy to ninja if your team is fast and well trained.

Hills has to be the toughest. DragonHorn [DH] has held this for 12 straight hours on a sat, with only 5 people. We only lost it when our 30 man zerg came to “help”. 15 mins after they showed up and started using our siege, we lost it.

Great fights last night. Truely enjoyed the night. Mass balls of red and all rolling across the map were annoying, but interesting to use to DH, and CD’s advantage. It took alot of work to get YB to engage on their BL last night, but we in DH kept at it till you did. We had no intention of taking anything there, just the sting of a thousand needles to send our enemies into a fury.

I know Kaineg has some rivalries toward CD, and it shows in the score. I beg YB don’t give up the fight this week. I know last week IoJ couldn’t do much and it turned out to be YB vs Mag. Have it be known CD is not IoJ and has no intention of letting it become a 1v1 fight. We are looking forward to next week, where we can have a real fight, but for this week; we know we are gonna be KN’s focus and our community is taking it in stride.

We fight for the fights, not score.

To KN; Its been great fighting many old friends from ages ago, all the way back to the betas; TL. I truely hope you make your dream of t8-t1 a reality. It would be the Cinderella story for Kaineg. I just hope you can do it and keep some class toward the enemies you tromp on the way. Remember; The reputation you create on the way up, will stay with you at the top.

Much love to RISE, MEOW, TL, and the many other friends I have had the pleasure meeting on the field. Looking forward to a great week.

Chaosx.2471:

My appologies then ORB and DH, I saw your tags listed in the sig of someone commemorating lost CD guilds and thought you left as well. My mistake, and best of luck on CD!

If you truely were sorry, you would have corrected your post. Even the numbers for the guilds you posted there are incorrect. Your making assumtions and showing them as fact. You say your not trying to troll, yet create post with false truths.

I have no issue with anyone that chose to leave, but do so with some class [CYN]

Updated list of guilds currently on Crystal Desert, staying or coming:

http://nerdpickles.com/?page_id=13

Obviously, there are TONS of guilds not listed on there. I’m adding them as they are confirmed to me.

Mass exodus? I think not.

This guy seems to disagree, but those TC players are known scoundrels ;-).

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Tarnished-Desert

Yeah, that guy was jaded by a CD guild that went to BG anyway. 2 guilds leaving for TC (one no one really knew about anyway) and apparently we’re all exporting to TC? Bandwagoner/lemming mentality, whatevs.

Actually no, “this guy” wasn’t jaded by a guild that went to BG anyway….he and his guild were fed up with all the drama and backstabbing on CD, fighthing commanders, and one man trying to be King of the Alliance. It’s funny how yesterday you sent me an in game mail all nice and sweetness, and today you are on the forums backstabbing and calling me jaded….thanks for illustrating my point

And yes, it WAS an exodus, regardless of how many 10 man guilds you list on your little pickle site. KH (500 man guild), LW (500 man guild), RISE [500 man guild], LaZy (500 man guild), GOF [500 man guild] TG, and some mid sized guilds CYN, ORB, LORD, VAL, ESF, DH and several others are gone.

I wish CD the best of luck in the future, but gossipingbackstabbing players such as yourself are part of the problem in the community

I don’t know what your trying to do, but DON’T ever speak for Dragon Horn [DH]. We don’t post here for our own reasons, prefer to keep the fight on the field.

Seeing as I must interject here; For the record Dragon
Horn [DH] is not going anywhere!!

Well that was awesome!!

Grats to you TC for finally getting Bluelake in FA BL. Dragonhorn [DH] enjoyed the fight. You had us out numbered pretty bad, even saw the outman buff couple times, but we still held strong. As we got reinforcments we pushed u back to the island, then you would push back. Even when you did get the wall down, we held strong in lords room pushing you out.

[DH] and those that answered the call for help, made you (TC) earn that tower. Good fights all around.

*tips hat

saiyr.3071:

Well, we took Stonemist

CONGRADULATIONS!!

I mean it. That was a hell of a fight. I was there from the moment you started trebbing the NW wall. I was even the guy that took out your first 2 trebs fron the hill NE of SMC.

We held strong for at least 4 hours of constant heavy assualt from both Mag and EB. So out of respect to my enemies; It could have gone either way, everyone deserved that win, we all punched hard and Mag pulled it out in the end.

I know I’m probably gonna get flak for giving praise its due, but to CD i have this to say:

Don’t hang your head, don’t get upset; Relish the fact it took incredible odds to be overwhelmed. We gave them hell and made them earn every step they took into SMC.

Unlike most on these forums, I hold no malice toward my enemies. I respect them for they only seek the same as I. I really wish people would take this token of respect back with them and rethink the current forum attitudes.

I run strike teams only. I’ll take anyone that is looking for some fun, not caring about class. Yes we wipe, but in Dragonhorn [DH], we find it takes 3x our numbers to pull it off.

As far as rangers go, I laugh whenever I hear they don’t have the survivability to be a roamer. I am usually the last to fall in my group. Even our tank Guardian and Warrior can’t understand it. I don’t trait condition removal, nor dump on my pets, I just eat them. Seem many times more conditions on myself the our Guardian has boons, yet I still suvive longer.

Without giving away too much, as I enjoy my build being my build. The key is to study every possible aspect of you toon. Thats traits, skills, gear, weapons, sigels, runes, jewlery, gems…ect… Another key factor is as stated before; Mobility. I don’t mean it in the sense of getting from point A to point B. I mean during a fight.

So yah there are classes that seem better for a roam group, but skill will always out do them.

TAKE THE PLAYER, NOT THE CLASS.

vipeout.2485:

Yep, they are being used. Mostly on siege in SM tho – if something keeps trebbing your tower for half a day in the exact same spot missing all the time(yeah someone failed at aiming it) – it’s a bot. Add few farming bots and that’s it afaik. There just are so many players playing at night for whatever reasons, no need a bots for this tbh. Especially in the higher tiers.

Just to clearify; I have been known to be one of these, so called; “BOTS” If you think they are missing with thier aim, and constantly hitting the same spot, ask yourself why. I sometimes hold choke points with trebs, even when nobody is there, just so when someone comes, they take a different route. I also will hit a tower/keep/camp constantly when my zerg is busy elsewhere, just to keep that location softened up for when they do have time to go grab it.

Being short sighted, doesn’t make everyone else a bot. Remember to ask yourself, could there be a reason for them hitting this spot?

Thou shall not tell anyone your objectives in map/team/s/whisper if thou is in a stealth strike group.

Pyroatheist.9031:

Radiodread.8469:

Whoever is in charge of the Dragonbrand forces in EB is not a smart cookie.

As far as I’m concerned, playing on dragonbrand, any commanders I see are absolute incompetent idiots until rigorously proven otherwise, and there’s only a very few who have met that requirement. Generally I just try to organize things as best I can, but without shelling out 100 gold for a silly blue mark, it can be very difficult to do that.

I hear you there, Its taken me months upon months to get the respect I have; WithOUT an icon. I still get resistance from newer folks. It takes fortitude and inner strength to continue to try to lead in these times. Its all worth it when at least some listen and you are succesful in your goals.

Think outside the box, not saying dropping a ram ontop of an AC is smart, but rams flame AoE is very powerful. I have used them for lord defence many times.

Roflmao

That was truely epic, lmao.

As a RL hunter, a herd like that would scare me too, but in a video game?…lmao.

2 thumbs up for originality!!

@ OP

I run a 5-10m strike team. We use the our and our enemy’s zerg to our advantage. We ninja keeps, towers and camps. We also defend such.

I’ll give you example from last night. (not revealing all tactics, just overview of strat)
We ran an 8m team. Our zerg were having difficulty with Darkhaven zerg roffle stomping up the west side of our BL. I took my team deep to the south and started assualting their tower, Brier. At first only a few came to deal with us, but before long there were 25+ inside that tower. We kewpt them locked down in this area for over an hour. This allowed our zerg to push back down the west side of the map.

Another example from 2 weeks ago. (again, overall strat not tactics)
1…thats right 1 guildie held Hills for about 3 hours against serveral assualts. More started logging on and we eventually have 5m team. We set up defencive siege and held out for another 9 hours. At one point our zerg came to Hills and I had to ask them to leave because they were less effective then the 5 of us. We almost lost it till they left. Everytime we got swords on our location the commander on the field would pst me asking numbers and telling me they were coming. I would tell him 20+, but to keep working west side of map, we got this.

Zergs sever a purpose, but to say you are ineffective unless your in a zerg; Just says your not thinking outside of the box. I suggest you watch and find out who the strike teams are on your server and run with them to learn some small team tactics.

I could totally see someone placing 200 siege so the server would be locked out for the week. Even with the 7 day transfers, there are still spies on opposing servers.

As for my opinion on the timers; I totally agree its way too short as it stands. 2 hours would be a nice standard. If you log in and wanna do some WvW; You can have the peace of mind that the siege you dropped should remain till your done. And your not locked into staying in one area just to refresh your treb.

Timers are needed though. If there was no timer, and no limits, the fields would be lined up with ACs and balistas. Row after row of nothing but siege would make it hell to move around the field.

Not all commanders on the field have a blue icon. I have earned the respect of many on NSP and have not, nor have intrest in an icon. I do have iconed commanders that i work with closely and even ask me for advice. On several occassions I even direct the icons to objectives.

My point is; When you see the icon, “YOU” make the choice to follow them, or not. This is what “you” need to teach the newer folks on your server. Anet don’t need to fix what you can choose to ignor. I have more faith then what is being expressed here in my newbies. They learn quick enough who to listen to and who not to.

I have to agree with the recruitment from our current enemies, please just don’t. Its disrespectful, and we were not too pleased when it happened to us.

As for what I’ve seen on the field so far this weekend….

ET: There just hasn’t been any pressence. I can’t judge your abilities on what I’ve seen of you, because I’m still waiting for you to show up.

SF: I have mixed feelings on what happened to you. Yes, I do believe you are having issue with folks PvE’ing, but there has got to be more to it. That made me go back over the strats I watched you preform in the last 2 weeks. I’ve seen you cap many locals using DB to your advantage. Whether that be, back dooring, or cross mapping after thier assualt is commited. I don’t think NSP is to blame for your drop in rank, sorry.

NSP: Coordination has stepped up a level, not a big jump, but I can say, I have seen an improvement. I see alot more people asking how to do things right now, rather then just doing randomly flailing around wildly.

All in all, every server has faults, and we need to look inward to fix them. We each have greatness waiting to explode onto the field. I for one, am looking forward to that day from NSP.

Yes the commander icon server a purpose, but there are many times that they should just turn it off.

There are some commanders on NSP that know when they gather up the zerg, I will dirrect them to objectives that are productive. Other commanders hear me telling them where to go and decide to go the other direction and constantly wipe our zerg, demoralizing those following.

I have no commander icon, and have no interest in getting one. I do however keep my eyes on the map and enemy troop movements while i’m sitting on a treb. I have built up a rep on NSP with many vets here, its the newer folks just can’t accept directions.

My other MAJOR beef with commander icons is; When your not in WvW or on your way to WvW or any major PvE event….TURN OFF YOUR ICON!!! When people think about jumping into WvW they tend to be in LA where 2-7 icon are sitting in front of the forge or at the TP. They open the scores sheet, see us behind, gaining very little points per tick. Finally they say wth and go into a map only to find 1 or none, commanders leading the charge.

NSP asks itself why all these people have been leaving, this might be part of the problem. I’m not saying that all commanders need to be in WvW all the time. I understand sometimes you want to just go have some fun elsewhere, and thats cool. But just showing off you can spend 100g for the sake of showing off, makes you just as bad as the commander that leads the zerg to thier deaths endlessly.

Frankly, I’m getting fed up with all the whinning. Nightcapping is only an issue to those that can’t play at night. There 3 options to counter nightcapping:

1) Recruit a night crew
2) Stay up all night
3) Stronger day/evening crew

Any one of these options would halt nightcapping instantly. Any other suggestion to change WvW from Anet’s side is just whinning.

Pop vs. Pop; This is just funny to hear. Do people realize that the server pop has nothing to do with the WvW pop? A server, correct me if I’m wrong, has a pop limit of around 40,000. While the WvW pop limit is 166 per map. Are you trying to tell me there are not 664 people on a server? If there was 1 server that low Anet would have merged it for not being cost effective. Stop whinning on the forums and get in LA and whine in map chat.

The only ligitimate whine i hear is the free transfers. This was set up to balance servers and get people with thier friends at launch…..2 FRICKEN MONTHS AGO!! I’m sorry, Anet can give no excuse that could justify delaying this as long as they have. “Working on it”, just don’t cut it anymore. “Wiating for servers to balance”, ain’t cutting it anymore. Frankly its actually making it worse.

I started thinking they were holding out for the major Alliances to break up, but that happened over 2 weeks ago. I now believe they can’t get guesting system working correctly and are using transfers to compinsate. They said before launch that if you transfered you would not be allowed to WvW till the next match up; What happened to that idea?? If they can’t block your toon from WvW, then take transfer requests and only do the transfers on Friday at 7:30pm EST. Thats 30 min from rematch.

I’m sorry for the tangent I’m on, but its so tiring to keep hearing the same kitten over and over and over….again.

To NSP: Stop making excuses. We have lost, so what?! Like I said last week we needed a wake up call and we had a choice to get out of bed or continue sleeping and miss the show. Guess what? The show is half over, are YOU ready to get out of bed yet?

OMG CONGRADULATIONS KAINENG!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been following you for a long time and rooting for this moment. I’m so proud of what you have been able to endure and prevail though to get to this moment. Please enjoy the moment you so very much deserve.

You will always have a fan here, even if someday we face each other again….(i’ll still be out to kill each and every one of you, but with admeration.

I’m from NSP, but i can’t condone the claims we lost becuse we had to fight EB during the day and EB/DH at night. I’m sorry that everyone must make these kinds of excusses. This is a 24 hour 3 way battle for 7 days. Nobody ever said it was suppose to be fair.

NSP we got out played. We need to pull that gumshu out of our kitten like we did during the SoR/YB fight. I have been sadden by what I’ve seen us do in comparision to last week.

But all in all, i think it was for the better, we started to get full heads and DH gave us the wake up call we need to get out of bed again…..Or we can continue to sleep in and miss the show. It’s OUR choice.

To DH and EB, thank you for the fun week. Its hads some awesome moments to go with the tears rolling down my face.
