So how exactly does this new scoring system stop overstacked servers from blowing up the score. … yeah . .it doesn’t need to go back to the drawing board
CERN is one of the largest if not the largest guilds on TC. He also has a second guild that is more pve oriented. Both guilds prior to HOT release were maxxed and had tons of scribe components squirrel ed away.
For most guilds, having those perks available will never happen. The time sink and gold sink are prohibitive in allowing anyone but the largest guilds to achieve.
Personally I stopped playing. The only game mode I enjoyed was wvw. Now with factions I just do not like the direction of the game. I just reopened account on wow which I never thought I would do and upgraded to newest expansion just to have something to do until the next mmo craze is released.
I don’t see spending more money on a game when the game mode I enjoy has been ruined.
i tried that and still couldn’t pull near that damage comparing the combat logs there was a huge difference in output both in base damage and crits
Ok conducted a bit of an experiment between guardian and rev. used all berserker gear, trinkets and normal set up on guardian ..
on rev tried zerk, assassins, dire, all kinds of mixes
the rev didn’t come CLOSE to the damage out put i thought it felt really weak especially with the hammer. Axe /mace was marginally better but not by much.
I got curious and went through all my characters. all in zerk gear … and there seems to be a huge difference in dps. rev doesn’t come close to any of them.. What such a huge difference in damage output?
jq 80 vs bg’s 80 against tc’s 40 and you keep losing so .. stop losing and your lag might stop
tc is just being focused by both servers. we have militia fighting but most the organized guilds quit and are doing pve stuff this week. We have too many fairweather players and not enough hard core wvw guilds.
You got lied too. The gate was not down and they had already taken the lord down. They would have already capped the tower with the gate still closed and locked except for the 3 or 4 of us who had entered and were contesting.
Our commander arrived on scene just as it was capped while the majority of the SoS zerg was still entering the just downed door as the last of the TC defenders died and your guild was able to cap it. Had that guild not exploited that tower would not have flipped. The commander would have been able to enter behind your groups to defend.
I am guild leader of CNB. However i was not there. From what i have gathered members were being glitched in while hitting the gate. they did not leave yet did not capture the tower until the gate was down anyway? i understand your frustration as we have been victims of that exact same glitch but to come on here and trash talk ua is no way to solve this issue. My guild doesn’t hack and cheat look at all previous match ups with us and the good things people say…that’s not what we do. You can tell people to jump out all you want but you can not physically control them. Now that does not mean that everyone should just let this go. I will figure out who it was who did not jump right out and deal with it. Feel free to report it and i will do my best to talk with my member who did not jump out. We are not about that kind of stuff. I gigivee you my deepest apologies on behalf of my guild and hope you would not continue to badly judge my guild..because that is not who we are. Feel free to talk with me in game or whatever. Again i apologize and will be dealing with my members. Any other information can be brought to me directly. Thanks (:
one person glitching .. yeah i can buy that maybe even 2. however … close to 10? and all from the exact same guild yeah .. not buying it
so entire SoS guild(WHO WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO NAME) is so horrible they have to exploit into tc’s NW tower to even cap anything …. shows true skill .. no really being able to use a 3rd party program to jump into the gate .. awesome … i can guess chuck norris who isn’t back by the way will be very upset by the use of cheats
Hey TC, I was there when this happened. We were on the gate hitting it and a guildy was inside like what a mesmer clone does and we realised it was a warrior and we all laughed because he was dying to npc’s. We were all a bit like wtf how did you get in there and then a few more pvd’ing ended up inside. we were all like how the hell you getting here. While most of us were still hitting the gate. Looked on reddit and there is apparently a glitch that has been around for months with that tower where that same thing happens. We had 3 superior rams down and we ended up knocking the gate down anyways, we obviously had no intention or knowledge of this glitch. I understand the frustration and we aren’t the kind of people who would abuse that stuff because it’s unfair obviously. Some guildies ran to the lordsroom before the gate was down but I mean it was the heat of the moment and we were all thinking what the hell the whole time. So we apologize for that.
2 or 3 that were in tower got screen shots ..im sure they will be submitted to anet to their abuse email

The design of the orbs is very short sighted and mismanaged. All Anet did was design a reward for having the most players on any given map.
not sure which server your own but i would bet its the same as mine. They are all out of WvW and killing dragons in PVE. had over 300+ in voip.. 10 of us in wvw .. rest in pve .. i can honestly say i have never seen that many in the pve channels.
I played on Friday night (flip night)-Yak’s Bend. It was even for a few hours. I logged in Sunday and it’s all Kaineng, I mean all blue, save a spawn point in our homeland. I’m on Yak’s and enjoy WvW. There are reasons for domination. Congratulations to Kaineng, you deserve to move like Maguuma did by dominating last week. I’m noticing a pattern: one overwhelming dominant world v 2 unremarkable opponents. Certainly there must be reasons for this pattern.
the pattern is simple. major free transfers flooded the top WvW servers so whole guilds moved either A) couldn’t deal with the competition in the higher brackets or B ) have to run in zergs bigger than 40+ couldn’t flood the map due to 4 hour + ques so they moved to lower level servers so they could zerg rush the lower tiers and completely dominate inflating their win records with ridiculously out matched servers. Really not that difficult to dominate when you outnumber the other servers 10 to 1 the majority of the day.
hey Emery .. this is the mesmer from the water .. i didn’t see your golems . honest!! come on back .. i won’t tell anyone …
Lol Ansorin, I’d advice you ignore the QQer(s) who kitten(s) too much about the actions of a few to condemn the whole server. You’ll just tire yourself out. Anyways, wish EA a merry Christmas, and all the other guilds in all the servers (even those without a guild). Be safe, be fed and be merry. See you guys on the battlefield…in a few days

funny you should post this remark Barnaby. By your sig your from guild UhOh and a thief. Which was the guild the thief under the yak bend keep was from and was screen shot and reported.
Which would still result in a dominating team a huge advantage. What wwould you fix?

You wouldbe surprised at the places mesmers can hide in. You should always do a full sweep after taking a tower or keep. I myself have waited for groups to build golums to port and bypass keep defenses. Too many times i have watched zergs cap something then run right past me to go hit the another tower just to return and find it recapped.
Avid PvPer? Doubt it. Showboater? Absolutely.
I am an avid WvW player.
1) i don’t need an achievement of any kind to PvP.
2) I don’t need to know your name. If your red, your dead.
3) Loot? Really? I harvest raw materials constantly and sell on market. Never have an issue of not having enough gold for what I need
4) Badges? I got 3 stacks right now in bank that i use buying blueprints. If they aren’t dropping, you’re not killing enough.
Sorrybut you are sounding more like a showboater who needs to show his fancy things more than you sound like an avid pvper.
ok as most know bots are showing up in droves in the various maps. I spent the good portion running through the maps and reporting them. Unfortunately the last 2 days they seem to still be running full steam. If they are playing during reset .. all games are going to find huge que times while trying to get players into the various borderands.
so far i found them in skritt area where they are all following the same figure 8 pattern.
With the bots and hackers in the game and your worried about a log out timer??? Let the devs concentrate on important issues. They can field the petty stuff later
Bots are becoming a huge problem. Last night i logged into SF borderland when a call was made to alliance garrison was being hit hard. The map had a que. Once I arrived I saw 15 yaks players fighting between 30 to 35 SF players. During the course of the batyle i noticed swords up on quaggan. Since I had just ported in from getting supplies I jumped off the vista to check it out and was shocked to see 50+ bots pulling and farming krait. Started reporting. This kind of crap is going to ruin WvW faster than any bug.
There are 2 fixes for this.
1) remove. Puzzles from WvW completely. Which is my preference.
2) target box. Hit F. Problem solved
congrats to sorrow furnace for schooling yak noobs! … yes im a yak player .. been yelling at people to leave their spawn points alone .. but no .. hey had to try and camp … SF players put up 5 golems and took EH in 2 minutes .. i would give you an award if i could now hopefully they will learn …
Better yet when all 30 teabagged him back
The event started? Hey subtle if there is a dunking booth we gonna volunteer evil. We need another tea bag tirade!. Should have recorded and youtubed that. Priceless.
I agree. Both SF and GoM are able to put up some really good fights during what I believe to be their prime time. Its a shame they can’t field players during off peak. I think this match up would have been alot closer.
Toc clarify for those who prefer to imagine themselves as winners of this “skillful” victory.
With your transfers, that gave your server the decided edge to domnate the game. Yes there is a cap. The cap only works when you have the maximum amount of people logging into the game. Your transfers gave you better around the clock coverage. Yaks Bend on the other hand does not have 24 hour coverage.. So your full teams were fighting the majority of time against fractured pig teams and outmanned teams. No this not your fault, and is our problem.
When faced with that overwhelming amount of players vs outmanned players the outcome will remain the same. Basically you outmanned us. But by no means outplayed us as we demonstraited by taking back portions of maps and holding them for extended lengths until we logged off and it was returned to a hugely outmanned map.
TSoR won the match with a stacked deck. Anyone who tries deny that fact is being delusional. The pure arrogance thinking your win revolves around the servers determination and “skill” shows just how unprepared your server is to for the higher teirs. The ques will jump just as JQ did and once again those “pro” guilds that can’t get their zerg groups into games will jump to another server and start the process over again. It is a vicious circle.
Whether you would have won or lost this game prior to the other guilds joining is a moot point. Time will be the deciding factor how long they stay.
Mass transfer of players from a high ranked server to a low ranked server.
Uh oh.. ya’ll got pooka’s attention. You gonna be in trouble!!
that actually sounds like fun lol
last night was awesome :0 i got 30 i think by the time we finished and logged off
but juicy .. im collecting badges .. need more badges .. only got 12 so far .. i needs ma badges!!
you really should teach your people how to fight without having full groups .. i mean really 2v1 .. and they lost
Looks like they weren’t even level 80, wonder what levels they were?
Also, you should drop the rude comments. Some people can’t 1v1 pvp well, yet can know more about locations to place things in WvW. Everyone has their knack in a game. Takes all kinds to make a server have fun and be successful.
this one isnt level 80 either rofl

@ commander cougs .. the only reason that map is blue is your transfers. you got more people playing when other servers aren’t That is the power of rall . that is the power of zerg. enjoy … at some point the tables will turn.
I hope they do at some point because I’m tired of your excuses
I’m sure you are getting tired of being reminded that your servers “skills” revolves around mass zergs.
You think you are aggravating me with this line but all it does is amuse me during an otherwise boring work day. If you didn’t reply I would still be sitting at my desk hitting refresh while counting down the hours till I finish work.
At least TOG continue to fight. You just make excuses and troll
LOL i have no intention of aggravating you. I’m just waiting for the call to take another tower gotta give your zerg its targets for when we log off.

No way this was going to be another close game. Population is out of control. We can have all the tenacity and determination in the world but in the end the numbers win oit. We logged in last night and found blue map again. We gathered a few and pushed. We took keeps in GoM and turned a third of the map red despite SoR’s zerg at our spawn which we promptly sent to their spawn multiple times. We ended up moving to various maps turning it red (which I notice none of you guys posted your updates go figure) and proceeded to mop the floor dropping your zerg teams and stopping their push. The entire time we were running around wiith the out manned buff. What happened then? We had to log off for work and RL and your “team” went and captuured back empty keeps and trying to zerg our spawns using 40+s people killing low level outmanned players foolish enough to enter the game. 10 vs 1 yeh. You guys are pro

The game might have been closer if they didn’t receive the transfers, we will still give them back a bit while online. I did find it rather odd that their “classy” new guilds felt it necessary to spawn camp the various maps. TW especially. We took back some of our lands and once again once we moved around or logged off lost it … we will just cruise until the next game.
@subtle
You keep mentioning voice coms and the mumble server and the myriad voice channels we have for Yaks bend and how we should all just hop on mumble and work together. This is one of the problems though — We have a TS3 server because so many of us think TS3 is both great quality wise and easy to use and we love it.
We’ve also created a vent server because there are people who refuse to use anything but vent.
And then there are you guys who for whatever reason insist on using mumble.
I’m part of the problem too i admit. I hate mumble and have a hard time moving from TS3. I could handle vent but mumble is just not an option for me.
This is a problem with our server’s communication because we all want it our way and i’m not certain what the best solution is. Saying “just go to mumble and deal with it” will clearly not work. Just as us saying “Just come to TS3 and deal with it” isn’t working.
this is one of the main challenges we are facing on Yaks right now. Its a pretty good problem to have though — having too many server wide free to all voice comms!
We are not suggesting you give up your TS3. We haven’t even requested everyone log their entire guilds onto the server. What was requested is a representative, a guild leader or officer log in to help communication between the various groups. Keep your ts3 but at least be open to help organize our teams.
@ heartless If you really want the whole story i can relay it but basically. I ASKED. I myself over the weekend played at various times on various different maps and saw no group less than 20 from your server at any given time.
@ gosu just saying you described the very conversation the commanders were having about yak’s bend.
@gos
you were listening in on the commaanders vent last night weren’t you rofl
