Guild Wars 2

I wish we could at least get the 42k karma one in SM till that happens. – whomever holds sm, gets the karma merchant.

Please stop making sense, there is no place for this in WvW.

Implementing simple things like that can take months, be patient.

Silent Shino.7239:

if it wasn’t enough that Kodash got involved with SM, they even did suicidal charges into the center to try and stop us taking it.

Such is the reason for my love for Kodash. Most of us really don’t care about PPT as we drew the short straw during in over 9,000 matches anyways.

We have much fun in this match on Kodash BL since reset. Vizunah is very organized and fields huge numbers which we neither can put up, nor can we organize them in such a way.
It is not my / our preferred play style, but it is a nice experience to fight for and defend our paper garrison a whole evening, night and morning. Vizunah runs in blobs, yes. But they also have some solo and small group roamers as well as guild groups running alone at times. This is something, Elona and Vizunah are better at than e.g. RS or PS right now, where you can only meet 25+ guild groups running together. Their skills may vary, but at least there is some variation to the common guild groups of 25ish to 35ish.
Also, Vizu offers real sieges (yes, they also golem rush, but who doesn’t?), which is a blast compared to other servers. They also did not run on Kodash BL too many times. Maybe they thought we are easy targets, but 4+ hours of continous fights (without breaks) speak for itself.

I don’t wish to fight you anytime soon again, though, because it is exhausting… really. But I got my share of fun out of it until now, so let’s get the best out of it. Happy tagging!

Don’t attribute to malice what could easily be explained by incompetence.

My new PVP character. He is a child of Satan himself.

I farm guilds said to be GvG oriented in wvw because they are not doing anything better than a harcore player oriented wvw or spvp would do.

Thanks for not understanding what GvG is all about, and also thanks for making a complete clown out of yourself. Your post really made my day. The only thing you farm is crafting materials in EB maybe, so go ahead, do your PvDoor and believe that it´s PvP.

WvW isn’t intented to be PvP. It’s meant to be WvW.

As a WvW’er…
I’m all for GvG and I support it 200% but the amount of disdain this is causing in a completely unrelated area of the game towards both plays and Devs is disturbing. We as WvW’ers need to understand the GvG’ers plight and none of us should be looking down on them as these people do often contribute to WvW itself. However, this is not in anyway how a respectable GvG community should be acting. Honestly I wish the GvG forum “scene” would more over to General Discussion area where it belongs until ANet as a whole, NOT the WvW team, gets their act together and implements real accommodations for said gametype. This way I don’t have to listen to the constant bickering between the entitled, god-complexed brats who claim to be GvG pros or god’s greatest gift to WvW and the people simply trying to remind them WvW may be where they took up residence but it isn’t their home nor should they expect those whose home it is to make special exceptions for squatters.

As a GvG’er…
It’s awesome that we got together and made an unofficial GvG league but we have to remember that we’re simply squatting in WvW. It isn’t where we belong nor is it somewhere we should force ourselves into. If they need to make improvements to WvW so be it. We shouldn’t be angry at them nor the people looking forward to the changes. We should be angry at the heads of ANet, the real policy makers, who after a year still have not made any movements to accommodating such an iconic activity such as GvG. We should not be embarrassing ourselves on the forums like this, hating on people because they make changes to their own home that might effect how well we can squat in it.

Nice blobs SFR nice blobs

THEIR EYES ARE UP HERE, MISTER!

….. Oh wait, you said “blobs.”

Hey guys,

i just wanna share my last video, recorded these last few weeks with my team [RUN]. We started the team 3 weeks ago and it starts to be alright. Here the video, i hope you like it.

It’s some small scale McM : 7 to 11 versus 9 to 30.

Any of the higher populated servers should be able to meet someones pve needs.

Viz dominates EU T1 wvw because it is able to put out vast numbers on a consistent basis in comparison to any other server (fair play to them). “Best” is subjective, but they are certainly by far the dominant server it seems.

I would imagine that the majority of the major guilds there are going to be predominantly french speaking (but that is conjecture on my part). Perhaps guesting or rolling a test toon on that server would be an idea?

There are two things I would love to see on the forums. First is an ignore list just like we have in the game. If a user is in your forum ignore list, you never see posts made by them. The second would be a “Done with thread” button. When you click that button, that thread drops off your list of threads. That way, threads that I have no interest in anymore will quit popping back up to the top of the list.

As a help to people with forum searches, I found that you can setup custom Google searches that will search only a selected number of sites. I setup one for myself that only searches the GW2 forums. So far it works great.

Ok, I simulated 100,000,000 random matchups to see what’s likely to happen, and what’s not likely. I started with the ratings and volatility values from this page:
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/big-changes-coming-to-wvw-matchups/

Blackgate
65.6% chance of being matched against Jade Quarry
54.6% chance of being matched against Sanctum of Rall
29.8% chance of being matched against Dragonbrand
19.6% chance of being matched against Fort Aspenwood
18.4% chance of being matched against Tarnished Coast
4.5% chance of being matched against Maguuma
4.4% chance of being matched against Kaineng
2.1% chance of being matched against Yak’s Bend

Ehmry Bay
23.9% vs Anvil Rock
23.3% vs Borlis Pass
22.9% vs Stormbluff Isle
22.9% vs Crystal Desert
18.3% vs Darkhaven
17.3% vs Sea of Sorrows
14.0% vs Yak’s Bend
12.0% vs Isle of Janthir
11.1% vs Sorrow’s Furnace
10.4% vs Kaineng
10.0% vs Maguuma
3.8% vs Devona’s Rest
3.4% vs Gate of Madness
2.8% vs Northern Shiverpeaks

Eredon Terrace
57.8% vs Ferguson’s Crossing
49.1% vs Henge of Denravi
25.4% vs Northern Shiverpeaks
23.5% vs Gate of Madness
22.3% vs Devona’s Rest
7.9% vs Isle of Janthir
3.1% vs Darkhaven

I hope this helps people understand what matchups are likely under the new system, and what matchups are unlikely.

Note that the percentages add up to 200% because in each match you will face 2 opponents.

Couple of things, 1) test whether or not you can hit there, build an AC in the same place in Bay when you own it. The AC unlike other siege (and most AoE) doesn’t need to have Line of Sight. 2) Camera Tool exploit this has been discussed before 3) regarding exploits: posting exploits on the forum is not permitted as the forum moderation team does not investigate those issues. That’s why exploits have to be sent to the following address: exploits@arena.net or to our Customer Support Team as explained above. Reports of exploits sent by either of these two methods reach the correct people who can then investigate.. Include screenshots from you test and the incident.
