Not yet, but we have a plan and, barring a setback, it will be in before the end of the year. Keep in mind, the solution we are rolling out is just a general solution to make it feasible to make them without running fractals, not necessarily a WvW focused solution.
Don’t forget to add time gated materials within the recipe. Because we love wasting our time at boring stuff.
One thing I see to help with Zerg mobility is disallowing the use of waypoints when you are alive. Only allow them to be used when you are dead. I rarely see anyone mention this but imo it would help. Zergs are already fast enough with perma-swiftness.
You did not even attempt to give fair draws AND you did not even attempt to balance out red/blue/green starting positions. Was the 10 minutes it would take too much for you?
For example, JQQ has an easier draw and is green all seven weeks.
One word comes to mind… blow-out.
4/5 of all the matches aren’t even a competition.
Where’s the challenge?
A summary of this week in EU (based on scores):
Gold:
SFR – ER – Kodash (SFR has 5 to 3) FAIL
RS – AR – Piken (AR 3 to 4)
Baruch – Viz – JS (Viz has 5 to 3) FAIL
Silver:
AM – GH – UW (worst match-up: 6 to 3 / 6 to 2 for AM) FAIL
AG – FSP – Gandara (FSP clearly less coverage again)
FR – Deso – MS (Deso leading 9 to 6) FAIL
Bronze:
Dzag – RoS – Vabbi (again no challenge at all 5 to 1 for RoS, 4 to 1 for Dzag) FAIL
BT – WSR – RoF (7 to 2, 7 to 1) FAIL
FoW – DL – Arbor (DL leading 7/8 to 1) FAIL
So out of 9 match-ups, 7 are a complete blow-out without any challenge at all, but purely based on the fact that one or two servers have a population of perhaps 5 times as high as the other server/servers. This means that nearly 80% is a fail.
Is this what WvW is supposed to be or is this part of the game just completely screwed up?
Fun fights with Crit and GOTL (can’t remember the exact tag) from Dragonbrand. Also had fun fighting Kors on IoJ. Good luck to all and keep the fun fights up
So, not to be a Debbie Downer here, but I was fully anticipating YB to be outnumbered by FA and CD this week. So far this isn’t the case, and we have fielded numbers overnight as well. Can someone tell me when we got the huge influx of players that caused us to have a 2+ hour queue for EB last night. I don’t keep up with the jones on the forums, so I just started noticing a few weeks ago a queue during that day as well. Did our PVErs come play, or what in the deuce happened?
Can someone tell me when we got the huge influx of players
When Anet turned WvW into achievement point Mecca. After all, I’ve been told that YB is Dulfy’s home server. If opposing players dropped ascended armour/rare skins/mini pets we would probably have every map queued 24/7.
A picture says a thousand words. Who ever said that is an idiot. this picture says 1.
Alliance.
Clear as day, proof is in the pudding, let there be light. If you observe my only needed piece of evidence you will notice, clearly, that there is a fix going on between Ebay and BP. DESPITE what some would claim. Borlis to the left of me, and ebay to the right. WTF’s a man to do stuck in the middle of that fight? we won. that’s right. but who gets left in the middle? poor YB. why? B. why? Because. YB cause we love you. (that’s gold right there)
Anyhow look more if you will. Notice. that on the center of the picture is Yaks bend. and to our right. Ebay, and to our Left? borlis. now if you look back to the right, you will notice Ebay is still standing there waiting to attack us after borlis distracts us. but thats ok. keep looking. look a little more. notice to the right, where Ebay is preparing to attack us still… a single borlis. Standing there with another asuran Ebay. holding hands maybe? yea. Nuff said
cool it with the cheating and play the game how I feel it should be played. It’s clearly impossible to derail my plan thinking alternatively or taking advantage of opportunity when presents itself. Therefore you must be cheating. Luckily for each and every one of you in this screen shot I got some extra good sexin from ma’lady and I have decided to not report anyone. because I’m an extra nice guy too as well.
Hey, genius.
For starters, the 2 BP on the right within the EB players are dead. See that dark bar under their names? It indicates they are dead. That bar fills up if someone is trying to res them from the dead.
Secondly, you have 50 players in your own screen cap (mini map) with a bunch of them on siege. Yet even with all of that, you’re afraid to push the measly amount of enemies out? Maybe if you stepped out of a huge zerg for once, you’d learn how to use your skills and class properly. Maybe even learn what the dodge roll button is.
To those from BP giving us credit for this week, thank you. To the others, i think the issue is that you thought you could roll over us and are now looking for excuses that make you feel better about losing this week.
About respect, BP is not know for showing respect to anyone, you equally look down upon servers whom you are beating (because you are more “skilled”) and those who defeat you (because they can only “Zerg”). So you are actually expecting respect from us? I for my part don’t want yours. I remember plenty of derisive posts from your Forum Warriors when you were winning against us.
I’ve seen BP Zergs this week, we lost our hills once because a group from Ebay was attacking another gate at the same time as the BP Zerg, but we do double team you with them? I’ve also seen plenty of small-group action this week, but sure, we do only Zerg. You called us Zombies at your Forum.
Whatever makes you feel better. Doesn’t change that you are losing this week.
Sure we lost this week, and quite a few of us (as you said) complimented your server. Glad to see you exemplify the true spirit of sportsmanship and embody the grace of a true winner.
So to the YB server as a whole Kudos on a job well done, and don’t sweat this poster we have toolz on our server too.
My experience is that most solo roamers are opportunistic hunters, not honorable duelists. If they see an opportunity to attack our group successfully (ie: if they see us already engaged in combat) they usually won’t hesitate to jump in and try to get some tags. Therefore, we don’t feel bad about chasing them away or killing them if they’re hanging out near us.
We don’t usually bother to chase them if they see us and immediately turn to move away, though. That’s just a waste of time.
before today, look at the logs at who has flipped ebays stuff, it’s been 99% BP
Yak’s and Ebay haven’t attacked each other than the token camp/free tower.
you get the points, but you needed an alliance to do it, you both know who will win 1v1 when these leagues are over and you can’t get an alliance.
Y-Bay enjoy your win knowing you needed a lot of help from another server to do it.
Well, what would be the point of a competition if there were no rewards for winning?
Should they remove the price for winning NHL as well, since not all teams are equal?
If, in the NHL, certain teams could field 12 players while others could only field 6, I’m pretty sure that nobody would watch it because there’s no competition in the first place.
Coincidentally that’s exactly what is happening with WvW leagues at the moment.
Yeah, honestly, Gold tier is far more unbalanced than either Silver or Bronze. The difference between the top 3 and the next 3 is just huge. Any of the bottom 3 of Gold tier can double-team one of the top 3 and still lose.
I’m pretty sure that in Anvil Rock, you guys can muster up your PvE players enough to mount some kind of offensive in order to get a decent finish.
Maguuma has the right kind of attitude in Gold. They’re just there for the fights. I look forward to meeting them on the battlefield.
