Try Jade Quarry. They have a large SEA and Oceanic population
A server may seem empty, but they may actually be full. Players may quit playing for a while after being demoralized, especially the more casual player base. If a server is full of casual players, the population size does not matter. They may log in at reset but after realizing they can’t pve k train, theyll simply leave and it will seem as if the server is empty. No matter how much you move around the population, you can’t change that.
At this point, I’d rather get 2v1’d again to get action on the maps. BG seems dead because there’s no action, which causes people to log out, cause we’d rather do anything else other than karma training (I tag up for fights, fights end, half my group logs off). Groups from YB and JQ are just karma training empty borderlands thinking they’re hot stuff, complaining about us zerging them down with 10-15 man groups calling them “blobs”, all the while bunkering in keep lords rooms with siege.
Good joke.
If you want BG to play again, bring us fights without siege. Most of us won’t even care if we’re vastly outnumbered.
@Torqued: You seem bitter that BG won’t respond to your requests to push PPT. Guess what buddy, we’re not here to play for you. We’re here to play for us. If you want to play PPT, tag up and do it. Don’t expect someone else, who has no desire to want to play for PPT, to play that way.
Regardless of your perception of my attitude, the fact is that Blackgate is actively driving away PPT players and putting themselves at a disadvantage. Blackgate will never beat Yak’s Bend until they are willing to become like Yak’s Bend.
No amount of server politics will stop the unwashed hoards of Yak’s Bend.
You don’t know how PPT works, regardless of all those number crunching stuff you do (good work on those btw, they’re interesting to look at, despite not having any real relevance in the current WvW climate).
Why don’t you explain to me how PPT works? I’m always open to learning something new. What is my data missing that is so important? Server politics?
PPT isn’t a function (right now) of organisation and skill, but rather, of time and numbers. The more numbers you have on at any given time means that you’ll naturally get more PPT.
If you log in at any time outside of NA prime on BG you’ll notice this. Our small groups are backcapping as fast as they can, but due to lack of numbers, our PPT suffers. We lack numbers because people aren’t willing to put the time into WvW right now due to the lack of incentives to win and the lack of rewards while playing.
But then, I don’t think anyone on BG ever saw you put more hours in-game to help out our weaker time slots.
Maybe if Blackgate didn’t have such a sour attitude towards pugs and pve players they would have MORE people to put in those hours and there would be no grind. But alas, Blackgate is a “skilled fight” server and have chased away all those no skill pvd players.
Your inability to get the coverage speaks volumes about your server culture.
I really don’t understand your posts Torqued, it just seems bitter, and like your mad at BG because we play for fun..and we don’t devout all our time towards something we find meaningless, unrewarding, and not fun…
You are entitled to your opinion, or in this case, confusion. Don’t confuse my engagement in a larger argument as bitterness towards BG. I left BG because I didn’t like the culture the old guard created. As a person that is interested in playing the game that Anet created, sitting on BG and listening to the whining about how Anet ruined everything was getting tiring.
If you are confused, its because you don’t understand that others can enjoy things that you don’t. In this case, I enjoy games when I’m trying to win them. I don’t enjoy listening to stories of the glory days and how we could win if we wanted to. Put up or shut up. I don’t care about how awesome Blackgate was … I want to play the game.
BG’s toxic attitude towards PvD, siege humping “cancerous” game play is evidence that you don’t approve of others that enjoy different things. BG is bitter that Anet has ignored them and not provided them a “skill-based” WvW. which is about as idiotic a request that I could imagine.
Large scale warfare is not about fair fights. Its about coordination, communication, community, resources, alliances, “coverage”, morale, inspiration and RAW NUMBERS. You don’t have to believe me, but I would direct you to a history book. Warfare has always been a numbers game. And as the scope of the conflict grows the possibility of a fair fight dissolves and guerrilla tactics take over.
The servers that make the rational choices within the current game mechanics will push up and those that don’t will fall.
are you one of DK’s minions?
these guys are great to fight. they have a solid pug population but not a lot of commanders to lead them so the pugs go away.
commanders come hither and make this server big again so t2 can be fun.
Hi,
This is just a suggestion but I was wondering if there was a way the game could put in a way to save builds. I understand that this is not “Guild Wars 1,” but I can’t help but reminisce about the convenience of being able to save certain builds so that with one click of a button I can just revert to a different build that serves a different purpose i.e., a running build, farming build, etc etc.
If such a system were implemented in GW2, I think it would be interesting to see a tab much like in GW1 where players would be able to scroll down and see a list of saved traits/skill sets. Players would be able to instantly change builds to standard tanky WVW frontline builds, or change to glass cannon full dps PVE builds instead of having to alt tab out, look up a build, write it down, then change it in-game as circumstances would dictate as this could be cumbersome. I know many gamers here do not play this game often enough to be able to fully memorize all builds as gaming is, for me at least, a fun past time and escape from the rigors of work place grind. A system that could allow instant access to builds players have created or looked up would definitely save time and make things much, much more convenient.
Again, this is just a suggestion and something I wanted to open up for discussion to get community input as I believe this is the proper platform to do so. Also, I am not sure if this topic was already discussed, so feel free to direct me towards such a thread if this is the case. What are your thoughts?

Always a balancing act of trying to dodge queue times yet have a high enough population to facilitate good off-hours WvW action….not really sure if fighting through the “full” status is worth the wait or if I would be better off going with a tier 2 server.
If “full status” is a problem, then your question should be reformatted to “Should I choose to go to Fort Aspenwood or Yaks Bend for wvw gameplay in all time zones” as those are the only T2 servers that are currently not full just so people can give you a better opinion.
Going to have to agree with etrigan, its no secret FA queues make it difficult to squeeze game time in especially for NA timezone players. I myself play ocx just for that reason – to avoid the queues in FA. In that regard, if you are an NA player/guild, SoS is a smart move.
