Server population check online

thank you Lord of rings i knew this information was here some place. just for got this

part of it. and also thanks for posting this too now maybe some will get the idea

more better but iam not holding my breath on it

Tahm.8290:

This thread confuses me.

i can see why and maybe i can bring this back to being more clear. ok there is another

topic about 2016 game money and so forth in a few ways this topic is tied to that.

and my post here. is to show how the server numbers have dropped since hot came out.

and the only reason at the time even tho i was watching the server changed back then

too . and now is that now since hot came out the server numbers for wvw have dropped

a lot. and if that is the case and true the numbers are dropping and people are

looking for other games to play .. then that other topic about the 2016 game money

report is true and holds a whole lot more water then people think it does. but yes

i can see where it would be confused here with this topic and post,s hope that

clears things up for you

how is gw2 in “maintenance mode” just a few months after their first big expansion??

and if you look at my topic . you will just see for your self how that brand new pack

is really going. and how well the game is really being played or not

just so you do not have a hard time finding it

Except you were proven wrong, or at the very least less likely to be correct, in your thread. It was announced months ago that they were redoing how population levels were handled since only WvW really depended on them. This may also change again depending on how their WvW team revamps WvW.

it is clear your very uneducated with out a question at all . you proved that with this

post . and i will say it again and maybe you will get it this time

wvw and pvp does NOT MATTER HERE !!!

If you’re going to be rude and call someone uneducated at least use proper grammar, punctuation, and know the difference between your and you’re.

If you read the responses in that thread of yours, you’d see that the population levels are based entirely on WvW activity. Since you linked that thread, WvW does matter here. Thanks.

ok fine fine wvw has got something to do with it. but also so does pvp and pve. and

if the wvw are low. then so should be the pve pvp numbers as well too. now not

being rude iam just putting the facts out there with that other post going. and also too

if you looked up the topic . before hot came out people was asking why they could

not transfer to full servers to play with there friends. if you looked at them topics

you have more answers they ant that hard to find

THANK YOU FOR GETTING IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since you did not post a before picture of what the server statuses were before HoT launches or even how often you checked the server statuses, it was impossible to tell on your OP what the exact cause of the server drop was. It could have been ANet raising the server caps (still might have been and they just overestimated the number of players who would buy HoT), or could have been activity dropping off, or a combination of the two.

I personally don’t take much stock in anecdotal evidence that isn’t backed up with hard to doctor evidence. People’s perception and memory can be faulty, so it isn’t that I think people are intentionally lying.

i gave my proof take it or leave it . dont care also too there was NO OTHER TOPICS

at the time covering these matters . thus no need to make this topic before then as it

is ONLY current now. but i have keep a track of the number.s and the posts on this

can be found in the forums. but you will have to DIG to find them . iam not going

to do that. iam just putting out the CURRENT information . in regards to the 2016

money report topic . so you really need to try again and look for the information

your self

It’s the OP’s job to do the convincing of the readers of the thread, be they other players or devs. Newsflash: devs don’t have the time dig around for the evidence buried in other posts made in the past.

So it’s you who has to try again.

the drevs have NOTING AT ALL to do wit this post. ahh so sorry it is you who needs\

to TRY AGAIN .

You’re reading comprehension is lacking.

The first paragraph was a GENERAL statement in regards to threads in general. Not to this thread specifically. Hence the use of the word OP and not you in that paragraph.

Since in this thread, you are the OP, it’s your job to convince me that there is a problem with the numbers. You’ve only told me that the servers aren’t full.

You’ve not given any proof on the why. We do not know how often the server status gets calculated as it’s no longer real time. So we don’t know how many times it’s been calculated. We don’t know how much activity a player has to have in WvW to trigger being counted and/or how often.

Given the feedback threads I’ve seen OTHER players post, I’m betting recent decisions on WvW have caused a drop in activity. Whether that’s the only reason for the current server status is not proven. You could be 100% right. You could be 50% right. I doubt you’re 100% wrong though given the feedback I’ve seen.

And it won’t be proven unless people conduct surveys of truly random players. Which is impossible for players to do.

Uhh…the guy is getting secret information so secret even the guy giving it doesn’t know he’s giving it. So, we just gotta, ya know, trust him.

Now, tomorrow we need to take another screen shot at a random point in time, like lets say 3am pst, to prove his point even moreso. This is how the internet and forums work. Just trust what he is saying

i can see where you think it,s the blind leading the blind . and it can be seen that way

by any one. sounds like to you one and one is not making too. but then again . ahh

after all it is just that the internet . now if you really want to notice thing,s the servers

update every sunday . and by monday tuesday is mostly when you can note any server

changes .

Just a flesh wound.3589:

That’s got to be one of the worse set of suggestions I’ve seen in a month of Sundays.

Crippling the trading post. Crippling WvW. Extra loot. Raiding crippled. Putting a finger on the scale for PvP so it’s really p2w.

Too much spiked eggnog was involved in the making of these suggestions.

that or too much whisky or maybe both . :P

good thing i read a lot . other wise if you worked for me. i would have fired you for this

but after i did read it all . i will say this now in many ways to a point yes you are right

there should be a real survey of the players numbers . and that info should be posted

for all to see. in plain black and white and that bet your making . lets say in some ways

yes it is right and a good bet. but yet ahhh there are a few other things that also come

into play . in regards to that bet but yet the bet can be won on that point it,s self

needless to say . tho if you look at the topic i linked about the 2016 reports . that goes

with this. and that would back up that post and this topic about the numbers and yes

giving the number of topics as of late on this even tho not posted this way . it does

or could go with them posts to back them up as well. so the info to a point is there for

all to see but yet yes a survey with real player numbers and so forth from the game

as a whole . would be even more clear . with that other post.

So you made a Wintersday achievement out of boozing. I really cannot say it amuses me in the slightest. Several of my relatives were alcoholics (past tense because they’re dead now… it’s not something that can be cured). I’ve seen what alcohol does to people and I think it’s just plain wrong to showcase the over-consumption of alcohol as something festive and desirable. Let alone in a game rated PG 12, when in many countries 12 is WAY below the legal age for alcohol consumption.

I’m of two minds about posts like this:

• On the one hand, of course we wouldn’t expect to see a requirement to smoke 10,000 cigarettes or eat 1,000 hash brownies or inject 5,000 vials of premium … well you get the idea.
• On the other, drinking is a pleasurable activity for the vast majority of people and the occasional bout of over-enthusiastic celebration isn’t — by itself — an issue.

I lean towards the second interpretation, because otherwise ANet should just cancel the game entirely. After all, it includes one of the five playable races torturing ‘people’ for science, the brutality of war (if only in a Disney version), extreme violence, player vs player competition, and so on.

At some point, gaming companies have to draw a line and say: “it’s okay on this side; we won’t cross to the other.” In my opinion, ANet has done a pretty good job of it: the game is free from most of the player competition in the PvE environment, most of the game is accessible to folks with little time to play, and they avoid getting ugly or gory in the story telling. So, I’d say cut some slack when it comes to celebrating holidays.

tl;dr sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

priceless !!! and a bottle of wine is just a bottle of wine. and i bet you they do not

play rock star games :P

and since most of you do NOT get it this is the other topic iam talking about . just

now you can all hash this all over how ever you all like . BUT the facts i given speak for

themselves . and so do the numbers as two people have point this fact out.

and in a way yes it backs up the topic post i linked to just now. iam going back to the

game and have myself some fun for the rest of the night . and iam going to leave

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

The numbers don’t like, but neither do they support the OP’s story:

• All the numbers tell us is whether servers are full or not; they don’t tell us why.
• A number of social and mechanical elements have been very slowly affecting the population imbalances, including guilds migrating from kitten lower tier servers, the new maps, and mix-game mode players being more interested in HoT maps or PvP leagues than in WvW
• Previously, none of this impacted world population (people could still tie up servers even if they didn’t WvW at all); now any impact to WvW participation affects the listed pop.

What the OP is forgetting is that the changes to the world-pop formula were designed to make this situation possible in the first place.

Now, it’s possible that some WvW are no longer playing at all, rather than playing some other aspect of the game. However, it’s impossible to test that theory if all we know is how many worlds are ‘full’; that single datum only tells about relative WvW populations, not absolute game populations, i.e. it won’t tell us where the people from formerly high-pop worlds are now.

nice to see some one getting my POINTS RIGHT here too . and you are right on the OP

topic post.s and you do remember the post of people making before hot came out

saying how they could not get on this server cuase it was full RIGHT and they wanted

to play with there friends REMEMBER them posts?

and this has got noting at ALL to do with wvw or

pvp

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/World

A Full world is a world with a number of active WvW players above a certain threshold

Currently, only the WvW population determines the world population.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/World-Population-Changes-Are-Coming/page/5#post5326517

Samuel Loretan.8601:

A “Full” server is a server with a number of Active WvW Players (as defined by the algorithm) above a certain threshold. It has nothing to do with hardware limitations, or PvE players.

The “Full” threshold is slightly different than the other ones because it doesn’t have an upper limit. So some servers can be just slightly above the threshold and marked “Full”, and some other servers might be well over it, and also marked “Full”, even though their populations aren’t really balanced.

The intent is that since you can’t join or transfer to a “Full” server, their populations are going to diminish over time, until eventually they reach “Very High” again. At this point, all “Full” servers are going to be balanced. This won’t be right away, though, since we’re not kicking anyone out of their servers.

that is OLD NEWS and has no point to this topic at all honestly

Aktium.9506:

ham.8209:

and this has got noting at ALL to do with wvw

I’m reasonably sure Anet changed it a while back to only take WvW activity into consideration. Should be in some old dev post.

wise that is just old news there.

Considering today is Christmas and there may be an influx of new players, ANet may have increased server capacity to make room for all of the new players to the game who may wish to play WvW with friends on those crowded servers (since that’s what the population balance tells us these days).

Not the best time to use server status as a means to say the game is in trouble.

you are fully wrong about this all the way around . the numbers have been like this since

hot came out. and just not today ONLY . and that is a fact and Anet did NOT increase

servers or any thing like that at all. and this has got noting at ALL to do with wvw or

pvp

How do you know they haven’t recently increased server capacity? You work for ANet?

And newsflash: ANet changed how the server status is calculated. It used to be based on accounts attached to the server even if they didn’t do WvW. Then megaservers happened and servers now only matter for WvW. So ANet did the smart thing and made a new algorithm for the server status that only looks at WvW activity. And I never mentioned anything about PvP, so read more carefully, please. Thank you.

that information on who i work for is top secret information and not even who

i work for knows that information . and like i said there has been no server increases

at all . and not only that the megaservers and other stuff you talk about is OLD NEWS

being made and flying around. well you ask me these pics speak more REAL TRUTH

about the CURRENT STATE of the game !!! only and ONLY one FULL server

while the rest are on the medium end . with a few very high servers . in my book

I think it’s been a little over a year now, I vaguely recall the last time the slot went on sale it coincided with a friend’s birthday (late November) and we were jokingly saying ANet granted them their wish for a slot sale.

Luckily, Legendary armor isn’t relevant to most of the people playing this game anyways.

yeah really funny how they do not care about the shine armor set,s like they used to in

gw1 . in gw2 only thing they care about now is there bright shiny armor and weapon

skin,s for get about the stats just make sure the skins are nice and shiny and pretty and

glow . and wish to pay top gold for them nice bright shiny skins . which makes no since

but hey why care just give us them glowing bright shiny skins, and we all happy

campers lol

15k armor in GW1 didn’t have any better stats than that which you could buy at a vendor for lvl 20 characters.

We were happy about that btw because GW1 was more about how you played your build ( Buildwars) rather than doing a rehash of gear wars like WoW and other mmo’s do over and over. And personally if I wanted that I’d just go play WoW again.

yes it was build wars i will give you that . as it is a real shame gw2 does not have that

but the point to the gw1 armor and the 15k armor it was just that 15k armor and all

nice and shiny with the stats too . but it just was so nice and shiny and you worked

hard to get the best set,s unlike here in gw2 we only got boring glowing shiny over

priced skins . shame the game went like that and not the other way around

Ham I have to agree with ya on the skin part. Personally I’d like to see more individual pieces of armor introduced. As far as stats go I’m kind of funny about that. If it is to be introduced with better stats I’d like it to be no greater than the spread between exotic and ascended. Meaning only about 2-3 points better on attributes than the ascended pieces. I’m a big WvW player and not so much into the raids so I like a more balanced playing field. I do craft. In fact right now I have master crafter. but not everyone likes to craft, and I get that.

Other than that thank you very much for the reply /salute

Vayne.8563:

I think you might be reading this article wrong. This sentence:

“During the conference call, NCsoft said it has been focused on cost-efficiency and expects fourth quarter revenues to improve, referencing Guild Wars 2 specifically.”

We’ve seen no layoffs. We have seen hiring. I’m not thinking this is really an issue at this point.

and so where is your PROOF of there being NO lay off or getting fired humm?

One more thing. We got one new map in WvW, because the rest of the changes weren’t done yet. It’s not that we’re not getting more changes to WvW. They simply didn’t have them ready for the release of HoT. Throwing more money at those sorts of issues don’t necessarily make them move any faster.

We’ve seen four changes in the sneak preview for WvW for sometime early next year, again not the big changes, and that preview was very well received by the WvW player base (which is shocking in and of itself).

WVW is all but pretty much DEAD !!!

It’s easy to read an article in something like MMORPG and let your fears carry you away but in reality, it’ll be another six months to a year before we know how well Guild Wars 2 is actually doing, now that the expansion has been released.

andit does not take 6 mo,s to see the state of this game at all. and we dont need the 6

months for that . to know how the game state is . and my proof on this is look at the

NA server lists when you log into the game before you go to play . there used to be

4 FULL servers and no one could get on them at all even with the free transfer way .

and now as of a hour ago there is ONLY ONE full server in the NA server lists and

maybe 3 or 4 at best very high servers . and the rest of the servers in the NA servers list

is at best medium . and this all has taken place since hot came out. and only goes to

show how bad need of major fix,s the game is in need of and with major changes . and

the dropping of E sports will be a good start . but we all know that Anet will not do that

now iam not knocking you . iam just asking you show your proof is all. and this is only

my take on the reports . like i said iam not knocking you iam just saying what is really

been seen in the game its self

It’s easier to follow the commander tag and spam your skills, than to learn what to actually do. Many would blindly follow the commander off the edge of a cliff. >.>

That was only partly serious. >.>

hahaha i dont know about that i think some honestly would do just that and

blindly follow the commander off the edge of a cliff. and not question it or even why

hahaha

Luckily, Legendary armor isn’t relevant to most of the people playing this game anyways.

yeah really funny how they do not care about the shine armor set,s like they used to in

gw1 . in gw2 only thing they care about now is there bright shiny armor and weapon

skin,s for get about the stats just make sure the skins are nice and shiny and pretty and

glow . and wish to pay top gold for them nice bright shiny skins . which makes no since

but hey why care just give us them glowing bright shiny skins, and we all happy

campers lol

15k armor in GW1 didn’t have any better stats than that which you could buy at a vendor for lvl 20 characters.

We were happy about that btw because GW1 was more about how you played your build ( Buildwars) rather than doing a rehash of gear wars like WoW and other mmo’s do over and over. And personally if I wanted that I’d just go play WoW again.

yes it was build wars i will give you that . as it is a real shame gw2 does not have that

but the point to the gw1 armor and the 15k armor it was just that 15k armor and all

nice and shiny with the stats too . but it just was so nice and shiny and you worked

hard to get the best set,s unlike here in gw2 we only got boring glowing shiny over

priced skins . shame the game went like that and not the other way around

a character slot sale would be great right now . and honestly in two ys i can not remember the

last time they had these on sale and they did not have one on black friday or cyber monday

so yeah this is long over due. unless they want to give us all one free for christmas

but i would not hold my breath on that part

good question honestly in my book both the Commanders/mentor tags are a joke. at

lest to me for i always look up information in the gw2 wiki . and the first time i just let

chat go to see and make sure iam getting it the right way . then chat goes back off

most of the time . BUT for thos who are new to the game and have not looked at the

wiki information and do not read . ahh ok yeah the Commanders/mentor tags are

ok for that . or thos that just go with the kill it all mind set it is ok for them . but

honestly like i said the Commanders/mentor tags are a joke . and the funny part of the

Mentor tag tho is you get it free . and can use it as you see fit . or if you feel like it . and

i know thos that paid for the Commanders tag,s do not like that :P

The tags are just convenient rally points, even for those who know the events. There aren’t enough landmarks in the game to really effectively give reliable instruction and keep people on target. It’s easier for the players and also for those leading the events, than it is to try and direct people blindly.

ok lets get this straight and right for the record book,s !!!!! we do not need players

leading the events not one reason at all . so you can toss that out the window and

while we are at it too there is something called a wiki even tho most do not read them

they are what tell you how and what to do in events . and we do not need

reliable instruction there again is something called a wiki for that . and not only that

but those that think they are some how leading the events, . ahh they are only

leading the blind players at best. and yes the game needs a far more better compass

then its got now. that i will give you on that one. iam not knocking you or any thing

just saying the facts as they are.. just like how it be nice if all these players with said

information . would put it to good use and go to the official gw2 wiki . and post good

and proper game information . instead of saving it for the game . like i said not

knocking you . just saying the way i see it on this topic is all .

I disagree and let me explain why. From a player perspective that has only really been in gw2 for approx 6 mo I’ve found it as an accurate gauge to let me know if there is a group presence at an event, and two it has been really helpful catching event trains before settling in and using the group function panel. Not everyone coming in knows people or belongs to a guild with helpful members. I’ve learned much from both PvE commanders and WvW commanders.

you can do that and it is fine and good and i respect it and since your new to the game

and its the holidays . and iam in the mood of giving so let me give you this and hope

it helps you a lot being a new player . and welcome to the game as well hope you fully

enjoy it too!! . now for my gift to you

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Main_Page

this has the most best information when it comes to this game. now there are some

well other sites but they are lacking in information . and i would only recommend using

this one

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Guild Wars 1 had a ingame store where they sold access to skills and heroes to play with (mercenaries).

Maybe you should look at that before you say too much about the Guild Wars 2 cosmetic selling store.

By the way, not everyone likes PvP. Many bought it solely for PvE.

this is so very true and not only that BUT many of us got HOOKED on the PvE

and can not get enough the sad part tho to gw2 is how they try to force push you

into doing PVP and all that. but when your hooked on the PVE end oh kittens how it

do not makes things easy for you sigh

Works pretty well at silencing open world jackholes as well.

agreed it works pretty good for the most part. and the other thing i do is keep my

online game status set to off. this way they can not whisper me at all too . and i can

get things done a whole lot more easy !!:)

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

GW2efficiency cannot be used to look at any gear other than yours, unless someone gives you their API key. That makes it different from an in-game gear check, since it’s opt-in only.

In any case, the original post in this thread was not only about gear, it was suggesting that the right-click option include a /wiki option, too.

I think it’s a great idea. I just hope it’s simple enough to code.

i thought so and that being the case even more so . worst idea ever and hope they do not

do something like this. if so a lot more players will be leaving the game . then already

have left so far. for a number of reason,s . but all together just a very very bad idea .

What’s this?
Do explain

Very nifty site where you can see everything on your account. I like it. I don’t know how you can see other player’s stuff, though.

in this game you can not see other players gear stats and so forth by clicking on them

like you can do in wow or world of war craft if you will . in that game you can click on

the players toon and find out all the gear and rune stat info on him with out even asking

. honestly to tell the truth iam glad this game does not have that and hope it dont get it

too

Same, I don’t want it either. It was suggested further up the thread that GW2 Efficiency could be used to look at other people’s stuff but I couldn’t see how.

In the Characters tab you can see all your characters. Click on one and there is a share thingy on the bottom left. It’s nice that you can select which characters are shared, and after that you can pass on links to either your account or character, like this:
https://gw2efficiency.com/account/characters/MegumiAzusa.2918
https://gw2efficiency.com/c/Qibbi

(Shared characters can also be searched for with character or account name)

yeah when it comes to thingy,s like this share thingy stuff . ahh not going to happen i do not share well .

just have to make sure it is set to no sharing and hope that does not get changed by

the next patch .

gosh you all crying about this and having a real life on top of it all . wow you all need to

play guild wars one. cause there 10 k in drinks is noting at ALL . that would not even

break the first lvl of even being drunk . and then we can not for get about the

candy rank,s there too as well as the skills hurt ranks . and you all crying about 10k

in drinks :P.

And the drinks and candy didn’t drop in near the numbers they do in GW2.

oh really do tell please do tell i never ever seen candy dropping in GW2 and or drinks

for that matter . but i sure have in gw1 . getting a 50k in drinks or candy a day during

there events for gw1 not a a problem at all . but then again to get even more then that

you got to play all day and night. to do it well worth the while

Right of the Wintersday boxes. I mean they are specific for the Festival achievements, but they come out of the boxes in huge numbers.

I apologize for any confusion that the term drop may have caused you to think dropped of mobs. But considering how the game throws Wintersdays gifts at you left and right you can get a lot. I have now 2500 drinks and I haven’t spent a lot of time on game at all with Christmas coming up and haven’t purchased a single one.

now yes that is true on that info but also i will say your right you did in a small way

kinda but not really confusion on the drinks or the drops. at all . i just wanted to make

sure i was reading this all the right way . and yes i normally do not buy this stuff at all

unless iam on the very hair lines of finishing it . and want to be done with it now .

Saudi.5320:

Not really, that is the wiki. The breather is treated as the underwater headgear for a toon. I think its something they have overlooked.

after reading your post fully and doing a little info look up . yeah the stats can not be changed on the Ascended breathers at all.

and no need to contact support btw this is the info i did find on your item and your

question . and from the looks of it all . you want to change stats you got to make a

new one for that set of stats .

that i agree with you fully on !!! we just do not need it nor do we want it to even be in

this game. for the reason it sure is not world of war craft. and the game sure is not fixed on top of that.

but that is what they are trying to do with this GW2 Efficiency thing. and the only way

i can see them even being able to do it . is some one would have to make a web site for

and the people put all there toon info into that web site . and it becomes a data base

and try to force us to use such a site . if they want that they can go back to

world of war craft wow . and stay there we dont need them . but it nice if the game

was fixed properly

I just feel like its an invasion of my privacy. If anyone wants to know then they can ask. I’m not afraid to talk stats and more than happy to share what skins my armour uses.

now that is what iam talking about right there. and very well said too . but i should tell you tho they are not interested in your skins as they more interested in the facts your is ascended

and that you got the max weapons and runes and food to boot. and that way if you do not have them things

then they will kick you from there little sad group and move on . leaving you to wounder

hey why did they kick me? did i say something wrong maybe ? no you just did not

have max armor runes and armors or weapons to suit there tastes . is all . just saying

so you know for sure they not interested in your weapon or toon skin,s at all

All I want for Wintersday is these too things for it to end . and a fully patched up fixed up game . sigh the good part is at lest i know i get one of them thing,s so keep on hopping lol

just a fyi if you do not know why people are not into gear inspection. and so very dead set against they are willing to leave the game over it .

umm fyi you played a whole lot of wow . or something :P

seen a topic that got me thinking about something . that would be nice to have in the game no matter if you pve or pvp or wvw or what ever . and it should be able to be crafted using the crafting professions .

and not sold in the gem store for gems . this way every one gets a set of guild wars one armor that looks really super cool and stands out from all other armor sets in this game all together .

case in point this monk from guild wars one looks really great. now think about how this would look in guild wars 2. and i know there is some work to be done for these and a lot of coding. but i think this is one out fit would look great for guild wars 2

it would be nice to see them go back to Elona or eye of the north now in the next ones . with more story and more pve and d11 at lest
