Guild Wars 2

Well, EOTM is working.

I’m just going to come out and say it, this is terrible for Oceanic/SEA players.

Reset moved from Saturday (11am-2pm) → Sunday (11am-2pm).

Basically instead of being able to play Saturday and Sunday, can only play Sunday, nobody will raid on Saturday at the end of the match-up when it’s already been decided.

If you wanted to kill WvW, just remove it completely from the game, don’t do this to us.

This thread is amazing, an Anet dev actually playing/testing/fixing WvW.

My thoughts on the new stability changes in WvW are, skill kittening lag. GG. The end.

WvW is dead. Final straw. GG.

I’m looking to regain my interest in WvW, hoping a sea change to an EU server might fix the lull I’m experiencing with T1 NA WvW OCX. The reason I’m posting this is I don’t want to bandwagon onto the top server and after some advice on selecting an EU server.

I want to join an active Oceanic guild with a primary focus on WvW, preferably daily raids ~7pm-12am Sydney time. Ideally running with ~15-20 people using voice communications. It’s hard to find current information, so please forgive me if this is common knowledge.

I will be using a 2nd/new account, so when I login tonight I’ll probably get a good idea of the landscape but I just thought I’d ask. Thanks in advance.

Old thread but posting solution:

Click on the ‘Chat Options’ icon in corner of chat box and set ‘Text Size’ to Medium.

Don’t forget about ‘Song The [FOX]’ aka magikfox

Anet not test WvW.?

We need new matchup threads stat!

I don’t know, prioritising SoR Bay over 3 waypointed keeps in BG BL seemed a bit silly to me.

I see this guild all the time in WvW when I’m doing my dailies, they seem like a really dedicated WvW guild.

For 48 hrs on BG EB we have had a player from SoR constantly spamming balistas on dead players…

EDIT: I did not assume the player was from a particular server….

Rigel we are not playing for PPT, the score is obviously BG struggling having to fight people instead of PvD (so much for your advanced tactics lol) and IRON and TW never wipe, just because we change direction and you catch our tail it doesnt mean its a wipe.

Cod, I didnt withdraw it, it was sarcasm, if you cant grasp that from my reply, is it any wonder why the people with authority dont think to include you in decision making?

So technically if a thief slips away and doesn’t die it isn’t a wipe. By the same definition a lot of other guilds never wipe either – and I know HIRE used to say they never wiped ever. Both claims are just as unlikely to be correct. You can only say that a guild has fully wiped if you know for a fact that every member has died – which never happens, therefore making the statement that “x guild never wipes” is a meaningless statement.

Everyone wipes at some point, get over it.

The PvD statement is pretty funny considering that was all that OCX, GC, XPK and SoR OC were doing tonight, as when you would engage them and they would run most of the time even if you had equal numbers and would only engage openly if they obviously had the numbers advantage. Regardless, the fights have been great and I didn’t care too much about the score tonight as the stress of fighting multiple 25+ zergs on the multiple maps is part of the fun.

*feeling dirty for saying 25+, silverstrikes going to have a field day

If MERC didn’t blob from one map to the next, there would be less door for us to player.

This weekend/reset has been the most fun I’ve had in weeks. I hope this stays the norm. Good competition, good fights.

Respect BG-SoR-TC.

Maybe it’s because you guys run so many glass cannons?

This is funny because it is extremely non typical for SoR, but maybe to put this in context, if you’re talking about tonight. I think a lot of us were running lowbies.

So, SoR guilds, I’m curious. I know we’re not really a threat PPT-wise, but how are we on the open-field? I hope we’re providing you with some good fights.
(Also, please stop dropping ACs and Ballistas when you have more people than us, it’s just bad form)

Way too many berserker builds IMO. If you’re going to make it in T1 you need to outlast an initial burst, not just make one and then die.

I’ve noticed this a lot amongst some of our “less trained” militia, and you’re right. Our guilds have an overall good grasp on builds and are pretty sturdy, but we have had trouble with rallying half an enemy force due to the death of one or two squishy militia following a guild group.

This distinct thing happened several times last night, actually. At one point we had essentially wiped an SoR zerg, with 2/3 of it down. We lost a measly two militia, and almost every one of the SoR rallied…which turned the tide of the fight in SoR’s favor.

I’ve noticed that a lot of what seem to be SoR militia are pretty sturdy. How do you properly explain a build to them: A) without coming off as elitists, without offending their precious hard-earned armor, C) in a way that communication is taken constructively and seriously?

SoR does seem to have a great track record in getting militia on-board and trained, and I think it’s a huge part of their success.

So to be completely honest, when you’re fighting SoR ‘militia’ even though they may be tagged up with many different guilds, it is extremely likely they are all in the same TeamSpeak channel. That is 90% of it, communications.

I have personally seen a commander go down in the middle of an enemy garrison, but because 80%+ of the people are in direct voice communications, capture it basically because they can quickly coordinate movements.

Regarding builds, I think people learn from experience, most people might not realise what they’re doing wrong, it’s hard for me to say what the right way to approach this is… It’s really up to the Guilds to train members… but I will say WvW shouldn’t be treated as a karma farm opportunity, serious WvW takes good leadership… after that people will follow good examples.

p.s. mour PVT.

ROFL I go to sleep and we are all out OWNING… I wake up to see we got night capped and sent to last place… ANet needs to make actual region locked servers. Clearly for WVW only. I don’t care if you have North American friends. That’s fine. Guest to them for PVE dungeons. But this whole flimsy system for WvW is just plain bad.

I play on a North American server… During North American primetime we dominate. Then the oceanic guilds get on a NA server and we lose… I’m living in the twilight zone if I’m the only person who sees the flaw in this system.

I’m not completely bitter. I’m happy to see Yak’s stepped up in T3 during NA primetime and was destroying. Way to represent. =D There is no shame in losing to oceanic when you play on an NA server. We need tougher immigration reform! Vote for me!

I’m about to go to sleep, don’t you go and night cap me too hard now.

I wouldn’t delete them.

If you want to get rid of the badges, buy siege and pass the blueprints to your favourite commander.

I have a feeling SBI will drop to tier 2 soon.

If tier 1 continues to be a close matchup and Sor/Blackgate continue to flip 1st/2nd place in tier 2, nothing is going to change in terms of weekly matchups.

Sbi current rating = 2,104.057 (3rd place)
Blackgate current rating = 1,965.221 (4th place)

This basically means SBI would need to be stomped and Blackgate need to own, just to close the margins.

JQ [HzH] failed exploit attempt in SBI BL. I watched them do there stupid exploit up to top of tower. I really wish this would get fixed, I don’t really care if they ‘deny’ it again, but the issue just needs to be resolved.
