kitten?

Even faced [FEAR] and [HIRE] already, so it’s not only the scoreboard that is glitched….but the matchups entirely.

Yea, we were facing FA and SoS. We took SMC and Green Keep before getting booted.

Thanks to the BG and JQ that showed up for the fun. Was a good showing, could have been one of the best parades we’ve had. Too bad some people feel the need to kill others that don’t fight back, no honor in that.

Once league starts and winning means something we’ll start seeing how strong/weak certain time zones really are. I know there are a few time zones on other servers that have been tanking to look weaker.
I highly doubt when league starts JQ sea against BG will be at 450-500 like it is now

Once league starts, the top 3 won’t be playing each other all that much. I think the top 3 are setting themselves up for some really boring matches.

So what? Guilds should move to TC and make a top 4? Unfortuantely, not all guilds are like MERC wherin players would probebly just quit or do PvE over transferring and spending $20 per person to fix ANETs problem. And dont blame T1 servers for getting transfers, sadly people do want a chance to win and they have a better chance with particular servers.

At the end of the day, not just the big 3 but most servers will have boring matches ruled by who has the most coverage/players.

Not at all. Stay where you are, I’m enjoying the non exisitant queues. I was just stating the obvious.

Fun times in EB last night. Good fights all around. I especially liked the Umber and Dane clashes. Many times I found myself saying “I can’t believe I lived through that”, but when the Commander yells “get out of there”, you know it’s time to bail.

everyone GLHF this week

What is GLHF? o.O

ood uck ave un?

Queues are boring…

I would love the Trait template. I came here to suggest the same thing. I don’t mind paying to respec, I’d just like some way to save previous specs.

Fun fight at the DB Keep, to the Necro I fought inside the wall for a while, good fight. We probably could have gone on for quite a while longer, but I had to go. My support build just didn’t have the dps I needed. I hope my logging out got you out of combat so you could port.

/salute

Thanks I’ll try that. It’ll be quicker than waiting for it to release me.

I seem to get stuck on siege after building it. My character just stands there. People say swapping weapons will get you unstuck, but I’m an Elementalist and changing attunements doesn’t help. This has been happening for a while. I have a few points in building so I spend 6 at a time, but still get stuck for the whole duration. Is this going to be fixed?

Looks like TC is back after a 2 week vacation from wvw because SoR and BG hurt their feelings.

What awful lies you spread sir! Terrible indeed!

TC gonna miss you guys! I personally loved how majority of your players rarely attacked me when I was being a quaggan with a kite

Have a good week!

Didn’t IRON roll over their dolyak parade?

Na, they attacked before it started. We didn’t really fight back, didn’t want to kill any of the awesome enemy players that showed up for the fun. We still had it, was just delayed a bit. Was probably alts due to how long it took for them to down any of us. BG and SoR as a whole were lots of fun to fight.

wolf.1895:

Great fights on DB BL, had some fun in Hills and in the open field! Keep it up Mag & TC, great fighters!

Fights in Hills were a lot of fun. Had a few in north camp and Greenwater as well. Good to see smaller groups running around.

This thread has been great. Don’t ruin it now please.

Share the words of Jedsus Chris/Charr Jezus/whoever FA’s deity is.

FA has no deity, we just really like loot bags (and quaggen…)

And dying repeatedly.

KICKER.3874:

Hey guys,

so the wiki says:

Blast Finisher, at level 80, heals for 1320 + 0.2 * (Healing power)

now, is that the healing power of the guy who put up the field, or the guy who blasted it?

has anyone tested this?

MODS, please don`t move this to Players Helping Players, I`m not looking for people`s opinions or assumptions, and WvW players are the ones that probably tested and know the answer to my question.

thank you

From the Wiki in reference to combos:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Combo

When applicable, the stats of the character that activated the finisher are used to calculate the combo effects. This is most relevant to combos that inflict damaging conditions, as well as the healing effects of water fields.

Looks like it’s the person doing the blasting.

So you start out by telling TC not to tell people how to play and then proceed to tell people how they should play?

Clockradio.3257:

Nice work TC with the mega zerg in EB earlier tonight. It was fun trying to maneuver around and clean you guys up, but you really brought it! Just curious how many you guys actually had though… anyone know?

We did a supply check just before heading to Golanta and had approx. 63 people. This was just before RE got in EB when Odinzu was commanding. The RE zerg was about the same size just before the servers went down.

lunatuna.6823:

I still don’t understand why TC is showing so poorly this week.

SoR – 121509
TC – 66714
SoS – 52682

Such a big difference after a weekend probably has something to do with it. Many people like tough fights, but the majority most likely do not.

Anet is collecting data so they can make adjustments to the system. The problem is people are transferring servers and stopping WvW while Anet tries to figure this out further screwing up their numbers. The thing with math is it works best when “all things remain equal”. The population adjusting to Anet’s changes assures this mess won’t be cleared up any time soon.

Last week when we saw SoS I felt a bit bad because I thought they would get rolled badly, that wasn’t the case. After fighting them for a week, when I saw them this week I wasn’t so surprised. They fought hard, well, and never gave up. They showed they deserve to be in higher brackets.

Getting SoR is just bad luck for anyone This will be a fun week with lots to learn from the giant that is SoR.

Had a great time in TCBL last night. I learned early that I had to play much smarter to stay in the fight against SoR. Looking forward to a challenging week. See you on the battlefield.

I was wondering why there isn’t a way to repair damaged siege. It would be nice to be able to repair siege that was damaged during a battle if the battle ends. I’m not too sure I’d like to be able to repair it during the battle but why not after?

In the rating system, DB is moving up to #4 because they drew two enemies with smaller NA and no nighttime. Meanwhile TC is going down in points simply because SoS isn’t playing to script and dying.

It took weeks of hard fought battles to get TC back to 4th position and in one week Anet undid all that work. I’m happy for the people that needed to rating help, but DB isn’t one of those servers. Nothing against DB, it just shows the flaws in the rating system.

Slashco.3927:

This has to be the most unbalanced matchup I’ve ever seen. The FA and TC folks that think it’s great to beat up on a T4 server… well, I don’t know what to say to you. I do know that ANET won’t be getting anymore GEM $ from me if things are like this. I want balanced North American fights, which SOS had until this last week.

You are looking at it the wrong way. Look how much ranking your server is gaining by fighting as hard as you are. At the end of the week, even if you come in 3rd for the tier, you’ll still have blown both TC and FA away in rating points. You’ll be winning overall and will be able to progress instead of stuck in a tier.

I’ve been impressed with SoS so far this week, you guys and gals are bringing good fights!! I’ve left many bags on the battlefield for you.

IMO a point reset was in order, but not reset all to 0. Tiers sould have been left in place, but everyone’s numbers should have been reset with a difference of 100.

Tiers got way out of whack by free transfers. The scores were never adjusted after the free transfers ended so there is still a big difference in ratings due to player hopping and bandwagon servers. Reset the scores so last server has 100 and go up from there at 100 intervals. The normal Glicko would work as intended without the player hopping interference. Servers would actually be able to move tiers without having to overcome large rating differences.

Just my 10chars+.

Wolfaen.9461:

Why is it that Maguuma can win the WvWvW matchup over and over, but receive negative rating on the leaderboards? Seems very backwards to me..

You aren’t really competing against the other servers. You are competing against your score from the previous week. If you destroy your opponents one week, and don’t score as well the next week you will lose points even though you won the tier. If you consistently beat your score every week, then you will gain points regardless of how you did in your tier. The point system rewards consistency.

I just WvW leveled and received 2 chests. Each had a piece of siege, a green, and 5 badges. Currently rank 22. Extra chests are working now.

Bobby.3721:

I made a new character and was bored, so i figured that i would go do the jp in wvw. After almost a flawless run i get the the chest and… it wont unlock. any particular reason why?

You already opened it with a different character? The chest was changed to once per account per day.

The term “double-teamed” is used for many scenarios. Most think it’s when fighting open field when two teams attack a third. Yea, that’s one example and is correct, but that’s WvWvW.

Others use “double-teamed” but really what’s going on are coordinated attacks, which are a type of double-team. When we are green and WC and Klovan get attacked within seconds of each other by our two opponents, you know there is some communication between them going on, especially when it happens around the same time on multiple days.

Right, wrong, fair, cheating, everyone has an opinion. It is what it is. We just deal with it and keep pushing forward.

Mattargul.9235:

I got stuck on an AC that was thrown to the outer edge of a wall. When I tried to disengage I got the error that I couldn’t drop a bundle while in the air. I forgot how I got out, probably WP’ing.

Yea, I notice that if I am standing on the edge of a wall and I try an arrowcart I get stuck and a message saying I’m in the air. If I’m standing away from the side of the wall the arrowcart works fine. Switching weapons does release you from the cart. Seems like it has more to do where I am standing than where the arrowcart is.

DevonCarver.5370:

I’d like to shed some light on our thinking with this AC change as well as tell you all what we are doing right now to balance it.

Thanks for the insight as always Devon. I’ve never seen a CM communicate as much with the players as you do and it is very much appreciated. I’m sure Anet will come up with a balance we all can feel better about.

Gellor.6497:

Listen DB was promised cookies by both FA and TC. We have not received said cookies, so we want a mini hippo from each server to be given as payment!

We left them in the tower for you. You didn’t get them? FA must have taken them, I think they hid them in their Garrison on FABL or maybe their Keep in EB. I think you guys should go get them back

eldavo.6054:

Dear FA and TC,
Thanks for the most fun week I’ve ever had in WvW. There was so much action and strategerie [sic] it just never got old. Glad we’re going to get to do this again next week.

BTW Stonemist tonight was just off the hook, unbelievable!

Yea, this week was fun. It certainly lived up to my expectations (and they were pretty high). I’m looking forward to another week of hard fought battles, victories, and losses.

How great that would be. Now with the loot update(wich we’r all thankfull for) it’s been a pain looting in wvw, especially large battles.

You shouldn’t have to waste time picking up your reward in such a dynamic gamemode. How many bags have you left behind choosing game objectivity over looting, nobody likes making that choice ignoring possibly loots like precursor, neither spamming F while fighting. Instant loot would eliminate all that giving wvw objetive/fights much more focus and consequently way better pvp.

I’m not sure I support an auto-loot option. I would rather receive a mail with the bag attached saying somethign like “You left this on the battlefield” or something more colorful. It could add a little RP element to loot collecting in WvW.

Miss Pink Floyd.9730:

There is one area in Timberline falls, where there is a cave with grawl. Inside the cave is a skill point. Try taking all of the grawl out before they respawn, I could not get in the cave without help.

Timberline Falls seems to be the worst zone for fast respawns. Much worse than Orr IMO. I know the cave you speak of, I decided to skip that one and go back if I want world completion on that alt.

Joined CYN a few weeks ago. Having a blast so far. People in guild are a lot of fun. There’s always somethign going on, PvE, sPvP, WvW, Fractals, you name it. Not to mention playing on Tarnished Coast has been great so far! Very glad we chose this server.

Join Cynical – Great people, great server, great fun!

I have to admit I was pretty discouraged at how bad we got rolled this week until I read some of the TC replies here and started looking at it from a TC mindset. Once I looked at the individual fights instead of the score/rating I had alot more fun. Last night for example I had a blast trying to take back our Keep. I didn’t see one SoR player laugh or berate anyone last night. I recently moved to TC from CD and am very happy so far. The people of TC have been amazing.

Whoever SoR has on Trebs has some unnatural aiming skill. Just about any siege I put down didn’t last long and a few didn’t even make it long enough to get built. I used up just about everything I had. In the end we took back our keep and even if it was just for just a little while it made me happy to get back in there.

I don’t care what bracket we end up in as long as we keep having fun fights against challenging opponents. SoR has some very skilled players and commanders who deserve a spot in the upper tiers. They play hard and hit even harder!!

Had alot of fun last night. Thanks for the challenge. See you again tonight!

salute!
