Good Job JQ with taking TCBL bay keep. Evidently I was the only player on our map who knew you could hit your trebs at brair tower from the north side. I suggested to our commander that instead of wall hugging and waiting for the inevitable, we get a small group to AOE your trebs down. But alas that didn’t fall under the “hulk smash” strategy as precision strikes are far too complex for our realm to execute.

Weren’t you going to PvE this week? Hey, if its that tough being on TC, most of the servers are at “Very High” status so feel free to transfer over. CoF is still profitable you know? We’ll surely give you a grand send-off with a Nobel Prize for being the smartest D*ckhead around.

When transfer to Blackgate or SoR become free I will gladly transfer, but until then I’m stuck on TC.

Don’t WvW then! You aren’t obligated to do so. I can absolutely assure you that nothing will be missed. Your entire post history shows what a whining Nancy you’re. How old are you,10? COD is that way, kid!

I’m stuck with what I got, just like your stuck with having to read my posts. I sometimes WvW in the hopes that strategy might work its way into some of our fights, and sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t. When it doesn’kittens fair game to criticize especially when the outcome of losing a fully upgraded keep could have been avoided by a very simple use of strategy.

Criticizing for improvement is one thing, being only a whining nancy is another thing. You do the latter each and everytime. Heck, you whined the moment you got to know that it isn’t easy week right at the reset. And you said it right – strategy works sometimes, sometimes it doesn’t. Saying “heck we could’ve done things better” is a lot different and more effecitve than “you guys suck, I’m the only kitten around”. And no, you aren’t. You’re a sore loser. And you belong doing rounds in PvE around those dragons that don’t hit you back. Hey, Anet is even giving away free badges for almost everything now so you don’t really have to WvW anymore!

I could criticize in a “nicer way” sure. But not after telling the commander how to improve and then them not taking said advice. After the outer wall fell, I was joined by 2 members of his guild, we took down the 3 trebs, but at that point the accomplishment was moot. Had he taken my advice before the wall fell we might not have lost the keep.

I couldn’t care less for how many keeps we lost or how many trebs you took out single-handedly. Nobody on TC or any server cares about that stuff as much as they care about the attitude a player brings with one’s self. Your attitude is NOT “we fall so we can pick ourselves back up”; it screams “we fall because most of us are useless so I’m gonna PvE now”. We don’t need that attitude on TC. Your post on reset night about this not being an easier week makes rest of your “strategy” talk moot. You gave up on reset; TC doesn’t give up. Farm some gold and GTFO my server.

Pay for my transfer and I would be happy to, otherwise, too bad so sad for you. Your just gonna have to put up with my “mean” posts.

They aren’t as much of “mean” posts as they are “whine” posts. You don’t complain a bit when we commit bigger mistakes against smaller servers like SoS or Mag or Ebay. The last time you posted was you complaining when we were up against SoR. Not my problem if you go through PMS every time we face off against a bigger server. And stop begging over internet. You don’t have to embarrass yourself any further.

Begging for what exactly, I was just suggesting that if you were so annoyed by all my whining you yourself would stop whining over my whining and pay for a transfer. And I’m not embarrassed in the slightest. While my whining might annoy you, the aim is to help improve tactics. I could sit down for a cup of tea and sweet talk what went wrong I suppose. I’ll try that next time.

Why does it matter so much? I highly doubt TC needs you to “improve tactics”

Don’t judge us! We were tired! And it isn’t very comfy to sleep with our armor on….
You’re just jealous you didn’t know about our adventures to TC today! Too busy fighting on the battlefield I’m sure! :P

I have ventured to the far regions of Tarnished Coast. It’s tarnished for a reason!

And in other news, yes I was fighting on the battlefield. I believe I have angered the tarnished coast with my trebuchet. what started as me destroying theirs quickly erupted into a clash of zergs as they came to take mine

Nice cap of our T3 klovan, FA. Embarrassing on our part to only have 5 people defending it while our commander was pushing a paper tower. He tagged down immediately after though.

Can i ask for some constructive criticism from JQ on how TC’s performance is now? You can message me personally or just type here.

TC is doing great. I have been waiting for this match up forever, mostly because I know I will be hunted by your CRZY guild. But TC is a pleasure to battle against. I havent seen any hacking or cheating, its been good clean battles. The forums posts are pleasant and fun. In the field, I would love to see TC become more organized and confident in zerg fights. I see you guys trying new things, and Im hoping it all comes together and I will be a running loot bag for you! You kept us out of your homeland in EB this morning so that was great! You guys never give up and fight with great heart. I think in a few more days the TC fights will evolve and I may/may not drop a precurser for you!

You serious bro?

We’ve been wiping JQ zergs continually.

I think it’s the JQ zerg that needs to up its game. I was expecting more from a T1 server.

JQ doesn’t have “the zerg.” That mentality is mostly exclusive to TC (1 giant 90 man zerg running around).

JQ runs several average zergs hitting multiple points at a time. They weren’t being condescending but you seem to be taking it a bit personally.

I remember specifically TC posters (a few, not representative of the entire server) being condescending to SoS with the “chin up, you’ll get on our level with hard work” posts a couple weeks ago. Meanwhile, SoS’ smaller zergs were wiping larger TC zergs.

5 man seeking upper tier not to quit GW2

Posted by: Achilles.2197

Achilles.2197

Just transferred to JQ and I’m creating a 5man roaming group with a friend. We feel your pain, the let down that GW2 pvp is compared to it’s superior predecessor. We played real GvG not the nonsense that people masquerade as GvG in this game. We played Random Arenas for our 4man random fix, and Team Arena for our organized 4v4s.

GW2 is vastly different but it doesn’t mean we won’t get what we want. What I think a lot of others in this thread are failing to understand is it took many months/few years for GW1 pvp to reach it’s climax and I’m sure GW2 will have it’s time.

Meanwhile, I’ll be organizing my 5man and moving forward. We have our team comp down and now we’re just filling the roles with bodies.

It’s out there, just have to look. Last night (first night on JQ/transfer), we came across a 5man SoR group using a spike build. I have faith there is still a flourishing interest in the 5v5s and I doubt ANET is totally unaware of this. I think at this point it’s not what to implement it’s just a matter of how and when. GL to you guys wherever you go.

Thats refreshing sir. One of our guys was a hardcore top team 8v8 guy from GW1 and preached how poor this game’s focus was to it. I never experienced GW1. Our entire team is DAOC 8 man experienced so we use that as our bar. In the past 3 days since making this thread we have decided like you did to revamp the group setup and added 2 new guys. Has worked so far. DAOC, in all seriousness, took 2 solid years before every server had 5-10 8 mans actively running against the other 2 server’s 5-10 8 mans. 2 years. Hopefully some zergers will start graduating from “meta” school and realize how boring that playstyle is and force the issue of becoming an actual pvper. Cheers for your post my friend.

All in due time. While coming up with our team comp last night we were debating making it a 6man group for the build we wanted. In the end we decided to stick with 5 (at least for now). But I can say that I like the idea of being able to change our team size at will which is one of the few +’s for a GW2 roaming group.

JQ guys wanting to stay, i know it may look grim now but the future looks bright. I can welcome you to the t2 and below clan where skilll lag is almost non existent, there are alot more GvG’s and alot more guild v guild action, also fighting completely new servers every week is also very exciting.

I’d be more concerned about SoS than JQ Rooster. A friend and I just left SoS for JQ due to the grossly lopsided matchups. From what we heard SoS is about to bleed out 2 more guilds.

We loved SoS, but there’s only so many times you can walk 2 feet from spawn and get run over by an 80 man TC zerg before you just stop going back.

SoS is all good. Going down tiers isn’t so much a problem for them as it is for a server who hasn’t properly dipped out of t1. Enjoy >:)

SoS’ Oceanic is keeping them in a higher tier than they should be competing in. The NA presence is becoming nonexistent.

Hey, welcome to JQ! Don’t forget to get signed up in the JQ forums and please feel welcome to hop in TS with us, things flow so much better in TS. If you need a WvW guild, ask about… there are a lot of good ones here.

Hopefully this will be your last move!

Thanks! We joined up with an old friend (Wok) in [HzH]. Glad to be here. Loving the fights already!

O yea, you guys are a t3 server, but you guys were picking on T4 servers back then. Pretty sure you guys didn’t enjoy that. I think you guys were the zerg server in that tier? Or is it PVD?

CD is also T3, and their zergs were actually larger than ours during NA.

My experience with FA is that individual skill of players and guilds are quite lacking. Once they face opponents with similar coverage they perform very poorly.

I couldn’t disagree more. Though some of them have terrible attitudes, they aren’t bad players at all.

I’ve found FA to be more fun to fight against than TC, not just because of the #‘s. FA is far more organized and coordinated imo. I don’t remember what guild it was (so I apologize) but they sieged Durios a couple nights ago and I was impressed by their coordination.

NA Tier 1 should be closed

in Looking for...

Posted by: Achilles.2197

Achilles.2197

Im noticing several flaws with your post.

in tier 4 and below, where not one person is on ts3 and everyone is just doing his own thing.

Since when does using Ts3 = skill? Sure, it adds to communication and ultimately facilitates better teamwork, but it in no way affects player skill levels.

For people who say tier 1 is all about ‘midnless’ zergs, they have clearly not been part of any organised guild or zerg and definitely not on teamspeak

While T1 does have more guild organization, most T1 guilds did not originate on these servers, they flocked there. Also, I transferred off of SoR so I’ve seen/taken part of it. At least half the population on maps are PuG anyway, and are simply following the zergs/guilds around.

I transferred out to a tier 1 server so I know what I am talking about.

Your argument is what exactly? You’re a random pug who transferred to a server that was already in the “top tier” and stacked without you? Isn’t that by definition a bandwagoner? SoS was tier 1, fell and then you jumped ship and migrated back to T1?

That’s exactly why the matches are broken, because of people doing what you do. I bet if they locked transfers to JQ/BG/SoR one of them would begin to crumble and another server would get stacked as it implodes.

I am unhappy about this and yet ANet is silent. They make me appreciate Riot Games and its openness so much more.

EDITED thhhere you go.

My server and me are absolutely thrilled and loving this new system. within the last 2 weeks and 1 day weve re-matched 2 server that we havent seen in months and are playing/have played 3 new servers that we have never played before. granted we aren’t always in 1st/2nd we arent doing that bad.

sure theres alot of complainers on the forums, ironically they are all part of the more populated severs where:

They move up 1 tier or 1 sever from the higher comes down- they get wrecked…. they whine and complain.

They go down or a server from below comes up…. they complete map due to other servers lack of coverage…..they whine and complain.

They stay in the same tier of similar servers that have the coverage to compete and put up an equal fight…..do they do something here? NOPE they whine and complain about lack of diversity

To be honest i never really understood this whole thing of transferring to a top tier in the first place….the enhancements are mediocre and little noticeable ( as they should be), A server that comes in 1st on tier 1 gets no bonus then a server that comes in 1st in t8,

or is it your trying to make up for alack of a certain something IRL to the point where youd rather afk login wvw to win…….i guess that explains all the whining though o.0

I want to see Darkhaven face Tarnished Coast. Bet you wouldn’t be making such a kitten post.

Judging a Tier based on score difference between 1st and 3rd is a phaux arguement, often 1st cultivates 3rds score at the expense of second to secure a win, I am guilty of this myself when I command, I leave JQ objectives alone knowing I could flip them due to lack of coverage / forces on the map so that JQ and SoR can fight each other while I hit SoR.

JQ’s position at the moment is very perilous, without Waha/ATM (SEA) they would not be doing half as well as they have been, their time zones are feeling very empty and they do need some fresh blood to revitalise the server, IMO we need to fix these ratings so that we can get in on these random matchups everyone but Tier 1 NA has been having so JQ / TC / DB can find some valuable needed forces and unfortunately I hope they crush the kitten out of the lower tier servers so people transfer to these 3 servers allowing for a real 3 way contender Tier 1 match ups, because in the end, 20 servers is doomed to fail as attrition hits and the game gets older 6 servers can be maintained much better easier than 20, population wise.

To all those who talk about lower tiers and wanting oceanic/sea/eu coverage, you will not get this, who wants to join a tier where you are pvdooring all night. You may call it “small ops” but it isn’t, it is 10-20 people running around dropping rams on towers where noone is, Tier 1 is a 24/7 coverage match up with insane fun, no matter the time everyone is at the edge of their seat defending keeps from EST NA through till SEA and EU.

There simply isn’t enough Oceanic/SEA guilds to cater to every tier and EU have their own servers therefore goodluck convincing guilds to come NA… Trust me I’ve tried. This is why all the Oc/SEA/EU guilds choose tier 1 and tier 2 because it is the only brackets where they do not get 450+ ppt each night due to pvdoor because this is where the population is.

Except for the fact the “T2” servers are not getting matched up with one another.

GW1 and its players are in the trashbin

in PvP

Posted by: Achilles.2197

Achilles.2197

That’s how I feel. We loved it, supported it, and got nothing we wanted with GW2. Devs promised us even in the manifesto that it will have everything we loved from GW1. Of course this cannot come true, and i don’t want it to be, but GW2 has nothing what we had and loved.

The problem isn’t that these things aren’t implemented yet, but that these aren’t planned at all.

We had many gamemodes, build diversity, LFG system, template saving, rewards for doing PvP, GvG (which could be our PvP guild missions, everything is given), Heroes’ Ascent (the best PvP ever made). And guild capes. Don’t forget capes. Backbanner sucks. And so on.

What do we have? Conquest. I like conquest. But I had enough time to like conquest for nearly 1 year now, also, we haven’t even got unrated tournaments, and hotjoin is just a cancer of PvP (fastest way to get rankpoints is to avoid combat and ignore tactics), so if you want to play solo, you have to yolo.

Sometimes it feels like if GW1 had something that was working and everybody loved that, is treated as a forbidden thing that should never ever happen again. If they spot that you write “GW1”, they just ignore you, and this is sad.

ArenaNet is just throwing out veterans to the thrashbin. GW1 players are like the abandoned stepchildren.

Maybe a bit harsh, but these are my thoughts. Thanks your reading Had to write it off. But I’m not here to whine only:

Suggestions:
-Remove hotjoin
-Add unrated tournament
-Add an observer mode for top ranked tournaments that EVERYONE can whatch IN-GAME
-Unique drops from win chest (like minipets), that we can sell on the trading post. Gear is not they way anymore. Not alone.
-Add a buff that stacks with consecutive wins. If you win a tournament, and win the next round too, you will get 100 bonus rank points. If you win another one, you get +200. If you lose one, bonus is lost. This stack has infinite duration and is only lost after a lose.
-Improve in-game statistics panel. Like best rank on the leaderboard, or a visible rating.
-Rewards and achievements for being high-ranked. Like title points after each win, and the higher ranked you are, the more you get from wins. Or a currency you get from high-rated wins, that players can use to purchase unique skins, finishers, minipets, etc.
-GvG or HA. Or both. GvG could be our PvP guild mission, and since we can be in 5 guilds at the same time, we could have some guilds for practice, some with friends and some for hardcore purposes. GW2 pefectly supports GvG.
-Capes.

I couldn’t agree with you more, other than maybe the GvG part (“GW2 perfectly supports GvG”). A lot of rebalancing would need to be implemented to have anything close to it, as much as I miss it.

Oh and, I will continue to bump this thread until Anet responds.

They wont add downstate toggle because no one will play on any server other then ones with downstate off.

As I said in my original post, the skill gap is way too wide to make a comparison between GW1 and GW2. It is self-admitted by ANET that gw2 was watered down to be less hardcore and more appealing to the casual gamer.

GW1 GvG was not for the casual gamer.

Well, the devs could sit around and reply to all your threads, or they could implement some of the changes you’re hoping for. We really appreciate all of the feedback, and that’s why I come on here to remind you that we’re still here.

We just gave you guys a huge balance patch, so does it make sense that in the time leading up to it and a while afterwards (monitoring PvP meta-game as it develops as well as other areas of the game) we can’t be as present on the forums?

Also, we can’t just make instant changes when an issue of balance comes up. One change can affect the entire game, so we have to be very calculated. Knee-jerk reactions can actually do more harm than good, so we have to be choosy about how we handle these things. This has mostly been covered when we say things like “we don’t want to whack-a-mole balance.”

That’s not to say that we’re not going to make changes. There is just a lot to game development than meets the eye.

You guys have been so incredibly helpful with your constructive feedback, so keep it coming!

Following that logic the PvE threads shouldn’t be littered with their responses.

It’s not that we don’t appreciate you guys working on implementing updates, it’s the total lack of communication and leaving us in the dark that’s bothersome. Even if you’re doing the right thing (working on updates), what difference will it make if they are implemented to a dead section of the game.

come play gw1 gvg then
there are enough guilds that play at this time
wait between matches can be up to 20 mins, but at least i get my fix

edit: there will never be gvg in gw2, the game design can’t support it. only way would be to somehow create a separate mini game, or to release a separate product altogether.

I’d like to, but by the time I get off work GvG is dead. Obs mode tells me that I need to be on during Euro hours to make that happen :P

I’d love to see deathmatch implemented. I’d love to see it just because of the QQ on the forums a bit after the implementation.

Deathmatch, even more with gw2’s combat system, would get stale very soon.

Stale? You mean actual PvP, as in who can beat who 1v1? by all means sir, it would be the exact opposite.

Its fun to see small man teams in WvW roaming, and fun to play against 2-3 well coordinated players who compliment eachother at what they do, without being independant.

But that sir is not real PvP. Any one who can not rely soley on theirself is basically, not a skills PvPer’. My build is 1v1, so I roam solo sometimes in WvW or TPvP. I know some people are not built that way, and some can not play that way. But real PvP is about being able to get the W in a 1v1 without the help of your team mates. This is what defines real PvP’ers.

Current system is not focused on real PvP, current system tailors to people who cant 1v1, its kind of dummed down to be quet honest.

Please direct me to a successful game where it’s PvP is 1v1 oriented. Starcraft/LoL/DotA/GW1/WoW… they are all team based. For a reason. Are you saying those people are not true PvP’ers because they play with teams..?

Are you saying real PvP is relying on other people to help you kill other people? Or are you saying you cant kill one other person by yourself? Or are you comparing other games to this one to change the impact of my statement?

All im saying is, coming from a MMO gaming experience which spans for 11 years now and Arcade/Console fighting gaming experience of about 6 years. Why cant there be a match where I can fight some one by theirself by myself? That is what I consider real PvP.

Because that is a very narrow and limited point of view of PvP. Those games already exist, go play Mortal Kombat.

MMO PvP is about coordination and teamplay. GW2’s visions of being an E-Sport will never happen with 1v1.

It simply won’t.

Also, look at the most popular esport out right now (League of Legends). Support champions can not solo carries or bruisers. (I’d be willing to watch a Soraka take down a Darius or Aatrox). However, they have a very powerful place in the meta and people like to watch how those matches play out. It still takes a lot of skill to play a support role correctly and just as much skill to coordinate with a team, if not more.

Wait, Starcraft isn’t team based :O. They have teams but it’s still 1v1 (just an FYI).

Starcraft has 1v1. But it also has 2v2 / 3v3 / 4v4

Maybe you didn’t notice but Skyhammer is point capture as well. Just with CC being even stronger.

It’s an interesting map. Fun to troll on, at least.

Exactly. Deathmatch isn’t the answer. Maybe capture the flag. I don’t see 2 teams fighting to kill a guild lord working in GW2 either, since it would probably just result in thieves perma-stealthing and bursting down the lord or some other gimmick.

Indeed, people should drop their wish of having the same GvG experience as in GW1. The game is completely different from the ground up.

GW1 GvG was complex/build wars etc. They released skyhammer, which is a little bit different and look at all the QQ’ing.

I too would love to see what they could come up with, ‘game mode’-wise but the day they do is the day these forums explode.

Im totally indifferent towards Skyhammer. I like having a new map. It just doesn’t change anything.

Maybe they will surprise us in the near future. (Wishful thinking).

You won’t be able to match the skill cap of GW1 simply due to the lack of complex prot skills and targeted healing. Team fights are pretty fun in GW2 but the pace of combat is so much quicker than GW1 that you won’t get any of those amazing 20 minute fights at stand with splits and counter splits.

I miss fusing! My heart would beat so fast when I fused lol.

Ele split was fun too. I won’t lie though, I do enjoy the GW2 ele more.

GW1 was the epitome of PvP for an MMO. There is no game out there that even remotely comes close to providing the level of skill required to participate and win a guild vs guild match.

In GW1 GvG was an intricate and beautiful waltz between 2 teams using a variety of skills and tactics to outperform their opponents. Not 2 mindless zergs engaged in a deathmatch and masquerading as Guild vs Guild. (Yes WvW guilds, I’m looking at you).

I understand GW1 and GW2 are in essence, 2 totally different games. While that is true, let us not forget that the PvP from GW1 is what carried it’s life on for so long.

TL;DR

Bring back more organized game modes and true Guild vs Guild. It would also be nice if people would stop disrespecting GW1 GvG by calling their zerg fights GvG. The gap in skill is too wide to make that comparison.

And what of us that enjoy our home on TC and want to face T1 servers as equals?

Then wait it out. Get to Tier 1.

I was only ever addressing the hypothetical solutions to balancing Tier 2. Bear in mind, even if TC gets to T1, whoever gets bumped down will cause the same problem in T2.

What remains true is that the least radical, most logical course of action for balancing T2 is for TC to disperse, that was all I was saying.

The competitive 6 servers is hopelessly optimistic, I’m afraid. What is in the realm of possibility is further detaching Tier 1 from Tier 2 and below by not having a “1.5” server. It will get stale for T1, but the system will favour gluing BG/JQ/SoR together, and keeping Tier 2/3 together. On the slim chance someone goes into T1, you’ll have a blowout for a week. But it’ll overall be more balanced than the 5 weeks of steamrolling T2 in TC’s current state.

If this week’s match up was DB-Mag-SOS, you guys will face the EXACT same problem. DB will just roll over all of you. So what’s the difference? What’s your next plan? Disperse DB also?

Same thing with any of JQ, BG, SOR or FA facing Mag and SOS. The exact same thing will happen. So what are you going to do disperse them all?

Give me a break please.

I do feel sorry for you guys. But it is all Anet’s fault. Instead of disperse the bigger server to fit your needs, why don’t you transfer yourself to a lower tier server so you can enjoy yourself there?

You say it is all Anet’s fault, yet in your signature you show how your guild originated on SBI, then moved to Kaineng and are now on TC. It would appear your guild jumps ship when a server starts to implode (as a result of exactly what your guild is doing). Ironic..
