Guild Wars 2

To be honest. JQ’s situation got worse but it wasn’t good ever. There was a lot of talk back in the days that JQ is stacked when it wasn’t.
JQ SEA was stacked and still is, NA was never able to queue all the maps on reset (on seasons maybe) and JQ EU was almost never existent, OCX population changed a lot over the years.
The whole story about “JQ is so full” can be tracked back to seasons when BG tried to recruit more players and back to a guy who transfers around the servers with his disciples of stupidity.
Today JQ lost the majority of the NA players, while EU still isn’t existing while SEA is still strong.

SOR EU>JQ>BG You do remember that GD (30 pax or so) joined JQ and now JQ EU has EU zerg right?

Your name means “smoking weed” in German and I really think it fits you. Even if GD fields 30 people, to be honest I don’t know how many they field, we still have less EU than BG and SoR. The guys you see online on hour EU are late SEA from Lgcy, a few EU guys from Noah and SF, my guild (we can bring 2-3 people into wvw atm) and some early NA.
On normal evenings we meet a lot of BG which should have equal numbers to us on EU now, while SoR brings Kiss, IRON (two native EU guilds) supported by a number of SoR SEA and NA. You are still at least 2v1 ahead in that timezone.

And please don’t talk about stacking, because that’s what every server in T1 and T2 tries to do. It’s plain stupid coming from SoR, when you remember getting Kiss after you got IRON which outnumbered BG and JQ EU time alone. Or getting Aco and Ward after JQ lost a part of EMP to BG and VH leaving.
Oh, bigotry..

I really hope they made scouting rewarding in the same patch. If you have to sit in a tower or keep for an hour or two or even more while everybody outside is having tons of fun, it’s necessary to be kept entertained in any way.
With that bannering change scouts will be even more important and it won’t be any easier to find people who really want to do that as long it is as boring and unrewarding as it is.

You know nothing, Jon Snow.

Same problem with my account.

I haven’t come across any lag in T1 or 2, roaming for blobbing, that proved to be crippling to gameplay. There was some a couple of days ago for a little while in a 3 way map queue fight but it was nothing more than weird minor lag that didn’t really stop me from doing what I needed to do.

tldr: As long as it doesn’t affect myself it is not a problem at all.

We all know that thief class is only playable because thief players are the ones with incredible skill and not because the class has best mobility, high burst, best evades and almost permanent access to stealth.

Smokee talking about SOR sitting behind AC’s i loled irl!

I caught a wonderful bit of footage on my livestream acouple hours ago.

I and 4 others were on our way to JQ-BL north camp, we entered and started on the camp and was responded too by about 10 JQ players. We pulled back to the alter of power and i noticed the JQ players set up and build an AC at the base of the stairs for us.

http://www.twitch.tv/gw2ascii/b/461504395 (watch from 29 mins).

Made me lol irl.

Wait, wasn’t it TW inventing the field ac vs. smaller groups? You laugh because someone copies your tactics.

Yeah, all kids think it’s cool to be the bad guy. That’s so 1980 and “can I be Darth Vader, mom”?
And today they see Darth Vader complaining about sand in his boots.

There won’t be any balancing if you let people transfer where they want to. It’s obvious after all these years that the majority of players don’t want to fight vs equal numbers.
If that was the case there wouldn’t be worlds with stacked NA, stacked OCX, stacked SEA.
So it’s your job, dear Anet, to force people to stay where they are to avoid creating stacked worlds and destack everything. Players will not destack their servers as long as they have an advantage because of it.

You have to create a balance for every timezone not a balance for “this server has a total of 1000 wvw players” if these 1000 wvw are 90% NA (this will be total different for EU)

In the end it will end in having maybe 2 or 3 tiers which may offer fair fights in most of the timezones.

To achieve that goal:
- lower population caps for the worlds which will end up in ridiculous queues for stacked worlds in some timezones
- check the transfer numbers more often and lock servers – you will need to talk with your customers (and guilds) to avoid killing guilds here
- limit transfers to 1 per year or make them more expensive if the player has a transfer history and likes to transfer often (check for linked accounts here to avoid alt transfers)
- measure participation of players in wvw more often
- create a system that rewards winning against superior forces and rewards transfering to underperforming worlds. So if server placed 9th is in a match up with 3rd and 4th give them more loot, more ranks, more stuff which makes them want to show up and fight.

I only meet thieves and warriors while roaming. I’d like to meet someone with a condition build.

Wait, they nerfed Rampage and didn’t do anything to burning damage or nerf Mesmer or Ele?

Titan.3472:

Hey to the JQ that disrupt the BG karma train intentionnaly yesterday, when we didn’t act like this with you on the last match day. Be ready for a week long daily-based pay back. Good week everyone XD.

I’m not sure why Warts would transfer to SoR, but how about some of SoR NA coming over, I heard you are there for good fights.

Sorry, troll post. And my last one, I join SoR for more EU coverage!

Everyone called for an update?

It’s always Telia. It happened in WoW, it happened in EVE and it happens in GW2.

Wow, I’m really not sure what to say without calling someone something.
I don’t know which timezone you are, but for my guild and our timezone I would really appreciate more transfers. The meta we are facing on EU prime on JQ is “sitting in a tower and scouting for hours and getting bored to death or just steamrolled” because we rarely have the manpower to get into the offensive while huge blobs running around with high numbers of omega golems trying to paint our borderland in their colors.
Sure, I could take my friends and do havoc the whole evening and letting SoR (or BG) take what our Asian and Sea had worked hard for, but that’s not what i like to do.
So please talk for yourself, take your meta to Sorrow’s Furnace or Erredon Terrace and stop kittening here in the name of JQ and the other two T1 server.

Looks like almost equal numbers by counting the green dots.

Honestly I’m not looking forward to the band-wagoners.. I kinda like SoR’s dysfunctional family-like community. Looking at the medal count, BG and JQ are much more “winning” servers with a lot more gold medals. Those wanting the easy win please go there~!

That’s why you had no problems with getting IRON, Warts and all the others you absorbed, while flaming BG for absorbing more.
You have chosen your destiny. You are Sanctum of the Month.

Boysenberry.1869:

The Perma-Tapping-Thief is no threat to players since most of them run away at the sight of even a rank 1 newbie.

It isn’t important if he is a threat. It’s kind of playstyle the game should never support. Why should some be allowed to play a build that only exists to headbutt a gate and run and repeat that for hours?

I sit on 60 laurels atm. And I do wvw 98% of the time. Don’t know how you can ignore the daily by doing wvw.

Wait, we have no EU coverage? Aaaww, right, I was offline because of 30° and barbecue. Sorry, I show up tomorrow.
