Guild Wars 2

Kashak.6012:

If you were going to hide the points youd have to hide them all week or websites would just add it up to give your score for the week.

Not the worst idea but would make it a bit harder for the commanders.

this is exactly what would happen and they would do it quickly as the web traffic is valuable.

Why would they care?
Especially when its more likely just the better servers grabbing the weak servers forts for the free points before they attack each other.

I mean, apart from using it as a quick way to level and karma grind, what is the real reason to do it? You don’t really gain anything from it, it’s not like spvp where you get ranks and rewards.

I just feel like going in and doing anything serious is a waste of effort, anyone else feel this way?

MMO… waste of time… hmmm.. let me think a bit more on this.

Consider it a balancing system. The higher server just got a nerf.

Not much you can do about it OP except move server or ignore WvW for a week and hope to drop enough in the scoring system.
ELO rankings only work if there is heaps of people in them. When you have just a hand full of servers with major disparities between them it fails hard.
Your next week probably wont be much fun either as you will be doing to other servers what HoD do to you.

Been playing w3 for what seems like ages now and nothing really bothers me more than seeing obvious server alliances. The one I saw tonight between Henge and SB made me sick. The coordination between the two teams was absolutely obvious, you would see large groups from both sides run alongside each other to target JQ players or a group of Henge run over the “downed” bodies of several SB’s to finish 1 JQ then leave the SB “downed” players alone or even defend them from other JQs!! I have friends on Henge who have told me that there are Vent and TS servers set up for Henge and allied servers to communicate with.

In short, I think that the true number 1 server wouldnt have to resort to forming alliances with another server.

Anyone else tired of alliances?

P.S. this is NOT a troll post. keep trolling to yourself!

So reading between the lines HoD and SBI are killing the easy target and taking their stuff rather than hitting each other. Sounds like a smart strat to me.

Since nodes are not shared I can’t say I have even tested it to see if it worked.

Nautix.9417:

Using the ranking system provided by ANet, there is a 200 point gap between 4th and 5th position, which is the largest WvW skill disparity, meaning that after the top 3 grouping is established, whoever is tossed into the meat grinder with the remaining team, has an extremely high probability to lose.

I currently play on Blackgate with about 30 other friends and guildmates, and we’re already looking to xfer off since we stand no chance against the night crews from any of the top 4 servers. We have faced all of the servers in the top 4 on a regular bases the past 2 weeks, it’s extremely evident there is no hope.

The situation for the 3 servers listed in the title is extremely simple: Try and win and you will lose forever. The only way to have a chance to win is to hope people will xfer to us that are good at WvW (which won’t happen, they will go to one of the top 4) or just roll over until we fall to a lower bracket so someone else gets screwed.

I suggest you move to HoD.

hi here is the whole post. WvW is 24/7

MikeFerguson.8921:

WvW is intended to be a persistent 24 hour game.

In a large scale persistent game like this, you need friends and allies on at all hours to be able to do well. Some worlds will have issues finding enough people to be on during certain hours, but you also don’t need a lot of people to defend or take things back during low population hours.

We will be making a couple changes to scoring in the next build we do. The biggest change you’ll see is that we will be extending the score tick to 15 minutes instead of 5 like it is currently. As always, we will continue to monitor things to see if additional changes need to be made in the future.

Telling people they cant play during certain hours of the day is just not an option. Not everybody has a day job with 9-5 hours and can be on during prime time. Those people should be able to play anytime they want, just like the people who play during prime time.

Malpractice.7850:

Its fine.
Im from Hedge, we havent lost a SINGLE wvwvw yet.
#2-4 keeps changing between 3 servers, so we fight the same 3 over and over.
They have an alliance against us, and we still win every day.

Maybe u guys need to organize better.

Looks like their plan is not bothering to zone into WvW when they are against HoD.

How long do you think your good alliances are going to stay on HoD when they don’t get a fight?

I didn’t see anything wrong with how he climbed up. He followed a route clearly created by the developers.
