Guild Wars 2

Welcome to WvW in Guild Wars 2. The server with the most active WvWers wins.

VOLKON.1290

Show me one week, any week at all, that didn’t have opportunistic 2 vs 1 play.

Yea but I’m predicting a lot more outside the normal considering the circumstances of next weeks matchup. (DB scratching at the door, BG dropping to the blue spot, JQ not losing by a lot this week and SoR wanting to hold onto its record of only ever dropping a rank position twice out of 33 match-ups).

Score update.

assasin of warr.9517:

we need to stay focussed on that. Next week all servers start again with 0 points and then all SOR need to show again how good we are in comparrison to bg and jq

Unfortunately for Blackgate they will be blue which gets the most harass in EBG.

With Sanctum of Rall wanting to hold onto green spot and Jade Quarry only finishing 20k points behind 2nd with 0 map presence, ill predict a lot of opportunist 2 vs. 1 play next week.

Warlord.9074:

Not entirely true we lost ND to BG. I remember BG was beating us every week, and demoralizing our Sea players so badly that they convinced them that their best chance to get to T1 would be to transfer off of SoR to move to BG. We all know how that went though. 2 weeks later we moved up to T1 and BG dropped back down to T2 again.

Edit: Just did my checking on the history site and what i said seems correct:

17th T6
14th T5 (for 2 weeks)
9th T3
7th T3
5th T2 (for 11 weeks)
4th T2
4th T2
2nd T1 (for 5 weeks)
3rd T1 (for 5 weeks) < 1st drop within a Tier.
2nd T1 (for 2 weeks)
3rd T1 (for 3 weeks) < 2nd drop within a Tier.

Did you swipe these pictures from the Pentagons top secret files or something.

History in the making. Some quick facts about SoR.

• We began 17th place, and are now projected for 1st place.
• We have never dropped down a tier only risen.
• We have only ever dropped a rank within a tier twice (both times in T1 from 2nd to 3rd).
• Every major guild that has joined SoR competes in WvW and has never left.
• Our TeamSpeak is 2nd most active server in NA and 10th world wide averaging 250 people an hour and just under 2600 users.

Things are only looking up! Good job to everyone who has made this possible and remember i take 95% of the credit due because of my insane siege masteries.

But PvE pays better and sPvP/tPvP is more actual pvp against more skilled opponents in a more controlled environment so what do we tell people?

This is a problem with your community/ players then, not your server population. As a server you have access to more players that could WvW then SoR, convincing them to take part is down to whoever leads your community for WvW. Indo does an amazing job at making sure all guilds are accounted for and assigned to borderlands with correct allies alongside them.

FearedbytheGods.8617:

You know a lot of guilds don’t go to SoR because of the TW nerd rage right?

And were doing just fine without them.

pot.6805:

Wow, all those words. Defensive much?

Just wanted to make it clear for simple minds such as yourself how T1 is atm regarding balance and what seems to be your hypocritical views on it.

pot.6805:

T1 score differentials are going to be the worst we’ve seen in months. Such a shame that we are regressing in terms of balance.

I still dont get it. BG had no issues or worries about ‘balance’ when they recieved pretty much every major guild from KN and was ticking 400+ pretty much perm.

Now SoR received 1 euro guild and have good fortune in regards to playing smart and the enemy playing sloppy its suddenly a broken T1 that’s unbalanced and will be for months.

BG and JQ have more players on there servers then SoR, even right now at midday UK time. IRON’s 100 people transferring over wasn’t enough to push our status from Very High to Full so the gap between them 2 ratings must be a large.
__________________________________________________________________

You need to motivate your servers community to get into WvW. SoR has an amazing community and we assign every guild we know off to a borderland at reset night (apart from Ace he solos SoR-BL for us).

SoR’s coverage got buffed by 80% but was recently nurfed by 50%

What do you mean, that certain guilds left SoR?

It was a joke, a reference if you look closer.

I don’t think any major WvW guild that’s joined SoR has ever left.

SoR’s coverage got buffed by 80% but was recently nurfed by 50%.

True story.

Israel.7056:

When you say “smallest server” do you mean in terms of overall population? If so, how could you possibly know that?

This is how (taken during North American prime-time aka now).

The difference between SoR 3 weeks ago and SoR right now is just 1 guild IRON and they only brought about 80 people.

No need for the R.I.P calls, i personally think the abnormally high ticking is a mixture of new PvE content, forces burning themselves out last night for the +350 BG ticking, abit of good teamwork + high motivation on SoR and abit of sloppy play from BG (turtling in SM whilst everything else on all maps was taken knowing were BG was).

And all my masteries OFC.

BG, let Stonemist go! Even JQ is getting in on the action now.

Reslinal.2359:

Too bad the majority of the BG forces are still stuck in work or traffic. Our players from PST will come back soon:)

Looking forward to it, lucky for us BG has the only employed PST out of all the servers right now

sostronk.8167:

Is this true? Are the rumors true? Has BG quit their borderlands?

I’m not sure about “quit” maybe out-manned because there having to deal with SoR hammering SM atm.

BG seem to be super zerg-balling one map over the past couple hours, they were defending a fully upgraded Bay on SoR so we (TW) hopped maps and took there fully upgraded Garrison with (IRON) with no resistance and when they turned up to retake we hopped back to SoR and took Bay anyway.

I think that got the ball rolling for a full red map as everything was paper afterwards, (CHOO) took over in BG-BL and seem to be holding it down pretty well.

No need for ANOTHER thread.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Hint-Completion-achievement-broken-Merged/page/2#post2024583

A thread started 8 months ago with minimal replies or bumps no developer response…

I wanted to start a fresh thread with screenshots and information.

You might be completing your PvP monthly before your PvE monthly. The first monthly you complete will award you the 10 laurels.

Being one of the games highest achievement point hoarder this has been frustrating me for many months as its the last achievement in my Hero’s tab to get.

Having searched around it seems hints are bugged at different areas for different people, for me I’m stuck at 80/83 but can only find 1 non-checked hint to complete (F4 ranger pet swap), which cannot be completed anyway.

It would be nice to see an official response to this problem that has been in game since launch in August.

You make it sound like the only way to beat stealth claases is with these traps…

Aarean.5398:

I know how annoying it is getting a 1v1 interrupted. Were you walking all over the war btw? I play war and it seems im glad to run into warriors. So simple to beat them

I missed a couple marks and i had some sloppy play because i was there for the yak not the fight, but i was comfortable and i would of won (he had blown his elite + utilities which i corrupted so i knew he had 0 DPS left).

As a Necro Warriors are the easiest kill for me because there so heavily movement & boon reliant.

Any limitations to what can be earned during a period of time (North American, Asian or European) would affect the gameplay of people playing in that period of time and thus change the experience which ANet are strongly against.

Developers have said in the past quite clearly they will never make a change to the way the scoring works as WvW is meant to be a 24/7 event.

Sorry to burst any bubbles you had.

Of course they should just leave it how it is if they want people to stop playing the game because there’s no competition on most of the tiers. Every tier winner is pretty much decided by Saturday/Sunday, and the winners/losers are not moving up or down tiers.

Sounds like an incredible system that they definitely shouldn’t think of changing.

Let me put it another way; Noone forced EU players to play on NA servers. They chose to play NA servers knowing NA would be the prime-time fighting period and EU/ Asia wouldn’t be.

Note: I’m a UK player playing on a NA server and i have been for months, Night capping happens but i don’t want special treatment or limitations because of it.

PPT Cap/Night Capping solution: Transfer over to a server that has your prime-time if your unhappy.

Was having a nice 1 vs. 1 with a Warrior from BG [llB] and then…

:(

IRON Guild + NYS back from there break has turned this match-up to madness!

The red dragon has awakened.

Fuzzion.2504:

JQ has medals triple or quadruple of SoR and BG tally combined. Nothing about that substantiates your point

Sea of Sorrows also has more medals then SoR and BG, yet there a dead server plummeting through the tiers. The medals system on millenium.org is useless so dont take pride in it.

Score update

IRON really doing there work it seems and the scary part is they still have 60 more members to transfer over. As we all know though the war is won during the working week so lets hope everyone stays strong!

urek mazino.4026:

Score update with clear evidence of 2v1

O…M…G… the evidence speaks for itself.

The “matchmaking” system NEEDS to be fixed, its just a joke for solo queue tournaments.

Having 2 tournament wins as a +1AP Daily requires me (as one of the top ranking NA-AP players) to win 2 every day (and this needs to be changed to 2 games played) and because of the terrible matchmaking systems this can sometimes take forever.

The past 3 games I’ve been fighting rank 55+ players whilst having 10-20’s on my team.

Coltz.5617:

I’ve seen warriors jumping off their castles into crowds slaughtering half a battalion.

Death from Above, usually followed by the warrior running back into there portal before there slaughtered.

Coltz.5617:

A guadian defending a castle by himself with full vulnerability everytime we stun or condition him and 1 hit us with a hammer. We can hardly hurt this guy.

Shelter + Renewed Focus + Shield of Absorption + Virtue of Courage spamming. As for the hammer 1 hitting you, lol.

Coltz.5617:

A mesmer with hp regenerating so fast im doing hardly any dmg to them.

Doesn’t happen, Mesmers have terrible regen, you sure you wasn’t confusing them for the clones (and assuming they had recovered to full life).

Coltz.5617:

A single thief clearing groups of zergs…

Stealth + Kite + Stealth + Kite + Stealth + Kite + Stealth + Bad Players.

Score update.

But but but, i do cool stuff on Necromancers.

UnrepentantProcrastinator.7420:

Get out of SM SoR, you’re drunk.

Its ashame TW isn’t on to take it in style like we did earlier, and the night before… and the night before that.

NONE CAN TAKE FORTRESS HILL!

And you just cant hide it?

Whats with all these calls all of a sudden from BG to “kick Jade Quarry out T1” you do know that JQ and SoR are the only 2 servers who will even come close to giving a fun and somewhat balanced T1 fight.

Unless your not looking for fights, just a easy ride to remain in T1 1st… o.O

Did i pass?

Heavy WvW player, design multiple builds for alot of people and have played pretty much every major build style there is for Necro.

Dolyaks on route are like honey badgers. They dont give a crap no matter whats hitting them, they just keep on walking.

Walls are hackers, they take no damage from any weapon or utility skills and they seem to have perma-stability, i cant knock them back…

Tsquared.2384:

Who needs a zerg anyway? We just took hills in sorbl with 4 people Hats off to you BG though, sorry we can’t muster enough for some large fights.

I’m quite intrigued as to how you took SoR-Hills with 4 people too. Thats 40 – 60 supply max, with 2 gates to go though (that were being scouted) at a point were the map was fully red and JQ owned no supply camps.

All done in around 60 seconds (30 second delay + 30 seconds from swords appearing, me running from Garrison to Hills north stairs and to see it then flipped.)

Kiriakulos.1690:

Elvahaduken.3609:

just tested in game, they both last 5 seconds so idk wtf your talking about

Trait the skill, read the tootip, note the 7x multiplier on well of suffering and use a watch to measure the time, they never lasted 5 seconds.

Well of Suffering’s tooltip is an error its meant to be 6x multiplier like Well of Corruption.

All wells pulse instantly on cast and then once per second for 5 seconds (or 10 for Blood) after.

I’m not sure about a 50% buff on Rending Claws (Axe 1) most people including myself use Axe for either the utility of Unholy Feast (Axe 3) or the burst damage of Ghastly Claws (Axe 2) and i rarely find myself auto-attacking (although any buff would be welcomed).

Blood Curse (Scepter 1) does need a massive boost to structure damage though. They should introduce a hidden ‘structure damage’ stat on all weapons so it doesnt interfere with balance.

Corrupt Boon flips all Boons into Conditions instantly, Well of Corruption flips Boons one at a time up to a max of 6 (one per second).

Corrupt Boon does a much better job at boon stripping then Well of Corruption, especially since the patch. Flipping an entire “Save Yourselves” and Epidemicing cant be beat.

Well of Corruption is only for heavy AoE disruption when you can hit the full 5 people and they linger in it for awhile.

dunnberry.2964:

Yes thieves do this all the time! And they are wanted in 5 man camp capping groups but not so much in bigger organized groups

^ Pretty much this.

The kind of play-style your describing would be a havoc squad or solo roaming Thief, when it comes to large fights you cant afford to be full glass cannon spec as you would usually revive more people then you kill through rallies.

Highlight of tonight, watching SoR go unmanned cap BGBL Garrison right in BG’s face.

I’m assuming you mean outmanned, an unmanned take of BG garrison with BG inside would be scary :P

Nope, unmanned, I’m pretty sure all the SoR guys were botting! BG was that bad!

Also, ty for catching that, it made me LOL, I’m so freaking tired. >.<

I have rank 5 Spell Check Mastery amongst other things.

SilencingMachine.5049:

Not a fun view from inside the tower…

Could of been worse, you could of been in EB-JQ Keep about 20 mins ago were the entire EB borderland was and skill lag was 20+ seconds.

When this popped up last time in a massive thread it worked out as;

DS-HP = 120% of Max HP + Soul Reaping %
or
DS-HP = (Max HP * 1.5) * 1.SR
Were SR is the amount of points in Soul Reaping.

This was worked out about 4 months ago though, and afew people have questioned if its still valid, personally i haven’t noticed a change in LF % since then.
