Tier 2 Servers dont have the power to play kingmakers……. except maaaaaaaybe in JQ vs SOR vs X tier 2 matchup, but even then i believe that it will be a race to see who can claim more from the poor third server’s territory.
Oh, but if ranking is a factor in deciding the victor, JQ has EVERYTHING to gain by making sure we take your stuff, while they maintain their lead. I’m sure we can convince every other server in this league of the same.
Every hour that you tick the same, or even lower than us; exponentially lowers your chances of claiming victory.
It’s for laughs, but it will also be a lesson in server diplomacy and that using lower tiered servers for your little games is not a good idea.
This entire week we were ticking a similar ppt to SoR during oceanic time coming off SoR’s complete domination during NA. Meaning we have a similar if not stronger presecne during oceanic time compared to SoR. Now say if we focus SoR instead of JQ because we have say made an alliance with JQ (hypothetically speaking) this would cause SoR’s ppt to drop as we ahve all of our forces on SoR bl while all of JQ’s forces are on SoR bl aswell dropign SoR to sub 200 ppt compared to JQ’s 300+ ppt during oceanic time.
Your PPT was remotely similar sometimes because of Karma train…… once again dont delude yourself……
Looking at income evolution, your ppt approached ours a total of 5 times throughout the week for very very brief periods of time ( karma train), and only twice was it even close ( notice i used the word approached 330 SOR vs 265 SBI ).

Like i said in that post, im pretty certain that the weaker server will be on the receiving end of the 2v1 for free ppt. Time will tell of course….. additionally BG and JQ had a fairly consistent 2v1 against us last time we met and we lost to JQ by around 10-15k……Your server ( i believe it is SOS) simply doesnt have the ability to decide anything.
As far as im aware, there is no ranking factor….. it is simply you gain a certain amount of points if u come in 1st 2nd or third, correct me if i’m wrong, but i believe you were trying to say that the margin of victory will matter ( which im 95% certain it doesn’t).
Additionally you won’t be taking our stuff…. dont fool yourself into thinking you were actually taking stuff from us when 90% of the time all we were doing against you was karma training and hoping you would cap our stuff back faster..
Fingers crossed for an SoR/SoS/Mag for the inaugural league matchup tonight.
That would be an interesting matchup IF SOS and MAG agree to double team SOR hardcore…. I mean SOR will still completely destroy them but there will be fights atleast.
Im pretty sure i would speak for the rest of SOR, that we would welcome an official 2v1 in that scenario…..
You are in for a surprise if you think anything about Maguuma will be a “pushover” scenario, ask Jade Quarry or Tarnished Coast, you will have your hands full with us let alone SoS, we can que 4 maps with skilled guilds and pubbies.
Many thanks to our dedicated guilds and players, Paralda/Pyro, Diviniya and Razi/Ark, Bony/DERP, Xushin and his pain train for making this happen. We pulled together as a server and got it done against the odds and efforts to the contrary. I’m very proud to be Maguuma right now. 7 weeks of tears gold league, that’s what you are in for, come at us bros, kitten ppt, give us an open field to wreck you in or a smoking hole in the side of a tower or keep to farm you in.
You lost to SBI, we just had SBI and SOS, our hands were most definitely not full…….. Ill give it a day before the debate about who has better roamers starts due to Maguuma QQ.
Your PPT logic is superb.
And your point is what now? The way i see it the poster I was replying to was using PPT logic, you came out of no where to throw a strawman…….
Fingers crossed for an SoR/SoS/Mag for the inaugural league matchup tonight.

Time and again, I cant believe how easily some peoples feelings get hurt.
The excuse everyone uses when they push trolling a touch too far.
No one is hurt, but I think that there should be a reaction to this because it can only get worse.
I’m sure, right now; that people are moving between T1 servers with the sole intent of listening in on the other’s TS and griefing siege placement. It happens in T1 all the time.
Yet I worry about T1 doing it to T2 or T3 servers (or anyone doing it to anyone). I worry that griefing will become the next meta and I think the more people that put their foot down might at least create some “do not cross” lines.
Besides, no real anger. The only way T2 folks are going to have fun is to play kingmaker, we might have been discussing this anyhow. Just it would have been more likely that SoR would have gotten a lot more support in this line of thinking before this.
In reality what will be happening is the tier 2 server sandwiched between 2 tier 1 server is the one that is going to be getting 2v1’d to grab easy ppt. Two tier 2 servers vs a tier 1 server dont have the power to win or decide anything, even if they double team all week long.

Great stuff on the forums lately, very entertaining….. i love the terms being used for this situation like “appalling” and “grievous” etc as though this thing caused soooo much trauma for some people. Talk about first world problems lol.
Nice pic, they’re all invaders, and all wearing default level 2 gear. You’re a big boy!
Some of ur SOS buddies…….
Congratulations, you took some guys from FAD, a dedicated PvE guild.
The biggest scandal about this picture is that their guild leader doesn’t like WvW and will ask them what they were doing there.
way to throw server mates under the bus
I’m not, I have family in that guild. They are a PvE guild that has been exploring WvW for the upcoming season.
I just find it sad that they found 3 folks new to WvW wandering around, then ran to the forums to brag with screenshots.
Shown to illustrate that every server has good and bad roamers….. silly talk from lower ranked servers about their “roaming skills” because they cannot match the our might will be shot down….. with pics.
Looked over the history of this thread, the first server to bring up roamers and carry on about it was actually SoR.
Sorry, you seem to have mistaken us for Maguuma with their obsession of roamers > zergs.
Besides, how we don’t know you didn’t just run over those guys with a zerg?

The off hour will be fine because we do not necessarily need a 1v2v3 match…..
Any match with atleast one of those will be entertaining, TC can also throw a significant amount of off hour bodies to beat on, so it wouldnt be completely dead. If SOS manages to get number 6 they have significant off hour coverage as well.
TBH, the only match I can see that will truly be a snooze fest is Xv5v6 ( with X being a tier 1 server).
Also yesterday in TCBL before we had a real force on the map… I think this may have been just a BIT overkill, dont you think SoR? I mean we had all of maybe 10 max in the keep and no siege, we literally had just taken it back.
I just want to point out, you may see this as “overkill” but your not actually out-manned in that screenshot.
Just go right ahead and ignore my other post explaining this, completely missing the point. Dosent change the fact that we still had about 13~ people in the keep, and possibly some roaming groups around the map taking back camps. I know there was a guild group starting to form up at the time.
But still, was the omega for style points?
Doesnt change the fact that you were not outmanned….. bad communication and gameplay has nothing to do with an omega.
Since the reset on Friday I have not been able to enter EB despite various attempts throughout the weekend. I’ve tried at different times, requeued every 15-20mins, different toons, but nothing worked. I would generally log out after 90-120 min waits, when I would run out of things to do while waiting. I fail to understand why after buying a product you are unable to actually use it. Is anyone else as frustrated with this issue as I am. And please refrain from providing the usual mindless answer of “change servers”. After being on this server for close to a year now I would rather avoid leaving my guild and friends for something that shouldn’t be such a problem. What are we going to experience once the leagues begin??? I’ve begun to notice that more and more toons are left in EB afk but running in place to avoid having to queue again. This appears to be to only solution since Anet is unable to address this issue.
I really don’t expect any answers but had to vent my frustrations at being incapable of participating in the only aspect of this game I enjoy. I tried to get an answer directly from Anet but was told to post my problem in the forum. So I guess that if I run into a problem with my car I should avoid going to the dealer and simply try to get an answer on Facebook or Twitter.
What time zone do you usually play in… just curious?
BG/SoR/JQ should just be given their own league. Nobody else has coverage and queues map(s) 24 hours of the day :<
TC should stop whining in every thread about leagues and take their upcoming beatings. Like I point out, when TC stacked themselves far beyond any competition outside of T1, you had the same complaints lobbed against you that were dismissed out of hand.
Now its too late for your precious community…. there will be many slayings of roleplayers and dolyaks in your future. Get used to it because it seems almost every week you will be facing a t1 server.
dont worry about ppt, just organize and come out for the fights, ppt is basically worth nothing, organize and fight, organize and fight, do nto stress the ppt and for the love of god do not leave wvw becuz u think the enemy has too much ppt
20% gathering bonus begs to differ about the worthlessness of ppt. It skyrockets my gold/hour to 13-15g.
It should certainly be easy for anet to design a system that takes the average WvW presence for each hour in a 24 hour period for a server and compare that to the servers it’s fighting. That 24 number string would weight the supposed rank of the server. Servers which maintain higher numbers throughout a week get matched to similar servers while servers with lower numbers get similarly matched. This could eventually even out as wvw becomes fun for more players with fewer blowouts.
In other words, close to the original system we had…..
The queues are thaaaat bad, the longest queue ive had in recent memory was like 30 min maybe? The queue situation is greatly overblown, mostly because sooooooo many players quit wvw due to the absolutely horrid state it is currently in.
With the league nearly here and everyone is foolishly stacking up at t1 servers, Anet surely got themselves quite a lot of money. Will it end here? Nope. When t1 players realize that they will only meet their “real” opponent just one time through out the whole league while having blow out match up for the rest of the league, surely a lot of them will transfer to lower tier once they got tired of PvD, especially Oceanic/SEA players. Which also means kaching to Anet.
Well played sir, well played.
No because they will still PVD if they transfer to a lower ranked server……..( the SEA/OC/EU) It will slightly increase their odds by allowing them to fight their former server….
Also, if they transfer to a lower tier they will just be badly outnumbered when they do face their former server which wont be any fun at all….
Simply put, it is too late to balance wvw….. there is literally nothing they can do…… short of a complete total drastic rework of wvw and its core mechanics.
Sigh. SoR plz stop zerging 70+ everywhere in FA. IRON and TWL andddd ONE all holding hands.. -.- you guys ‘should’ be better than that.
We are karma training….. this match was over within the first day….. we are just trying to farm wxp. Everyone is in one giant blob, so you guys can cap your stuff back elsewhere so we can cap that back so you can cap it then we cap that back that you will later cap for us to recap.
The devs have said many times that ascended is the final level of gear.
Yeah? They also said there wouldn’t be a new carrot to chase every 6 months and then promptly added another tier of gear 2 months after launch.
And that’s held true.
Oh? So they didn’t release a statistically better tier of gear walled behind a ridiculous time gate 2 months after launch in an obvious carrot-shaped attempt to keep people playing?
Yes, 2 months after launch because they realized that exotic was to easy to get…. and there had to be something between legendary and exotic.
Build gameworld around exotic stat level. = GW2 release
Majority of people get to the exotic stat level = gw2 1 month
Raise the stat level to cater to the traditional (WoW/EQ) model = GW2 Ascended
Majority of people get Ascended = gw2 in 3 months
Cater to the players that say the world is WAY to easy now = Increase World bosses and mob HP/Damage in all upper areas = GW2 in 5 months.
Ascended stat level now required for any high end areas
Players are getting tired of Ascended and want more challenge = Transcended trinkets
THAT is the future of GW2. By adding ascended stats when the world was designed for EXOTIC level stats… the only outcome for the future is to then raise the danger and challenge of the high end zones thus flushing out the last exotic users and pushing them to require Ascended.
Then the cycle just continues.
The devs have said many times that ascended is the final level of gear….. I think that is the reason that alot of people aren’t as outraged as you think they should be.
I was a hardcore wow player and the number one reason i left was because of the gear treadmill, and even with that reason in mind, ascended does not bother me because exotic was way to easy to get and ascended is somewhat more grindy…. just a little bit of a carrot for those of us that want to min-max.
I think the majority of the people that are OK with ascended now however will leave gw2 in a heartbeat if another even higher tier is announced, including myself.
Ascended hits a nice sweet spot of gear treadmill without going overboard imo…..
SOR is karma training, and not defending so FA and DB can karma train and we can karma train it back so FA and DB can karma train that then we karma train it again.
When the winners of the season come from the top servers in each league, BG/SoR/JQ and YB/KN/IoJ, then WvW is doomed to fail.
However, if the winners of the season come from the lower servers, like Ebay/CD/BP and FC/DR/AR, then WvW will thrive and you’ll see the breakup of stacked servers and a better influx of PvE players into WvW.
So WvW is doomed to fail then…Because if the FCs/DRs/ARs or anyone below IoJ could hope to win they would already be the favorites….Because the favorites are ranked as such because they have in the past been able to maintain the PPT necessary to gain said ranking…
The only upsets you will see in this league thing, are going to be either directly due to server transfers (transferring in or out), or will be the “middle servers” of each league randomly upsetting another middle server. IE: a 21 beats a 19…Which is not much of an upset at all.
I think he’s talking about the Individual winners. Which according to ANet they are going to be able to be won on all tiers.
However, as you said. If that is the basis for WvW failing then WvW will definitely fail.
I don’t know what they plan to base their individual merits on but there is little I can think of wouldn’t give you an advantage if your on a top tier server.
Most Kills – People fighting the most people are going to win. That is T1-3 because of big fights.
Most Points earned – Lower tier servers are going to be facing blow out matches against T1 servers where they have no hope to score points.
Most stomps – Lower tier may have an advantage because it’s hard to get stomps of in huge fights. Top tier roamers still have more people to fight though. Plus again low tier servers will be facing blowout matches where they can’t enter the BL without fighting 20 people at once.
Dolyak Kills/Camp flips. Same as above. Blowout matches will give them weeks where they can’t get any. They will have to work hard in their few close matches.
Basically it all boils down to people on lower tiers are going to be facing insurmountable odds several weeks during the league and won’t be able to score points so all the individual winners will likely come from T1 servers.
I’m not talking about individuals, I’m talking about how the T1 servers (BG/SoR/JQ) have been the same for the past 28 weeks, over 6 months, HALF THE TIME GW2 has existed they have been the top three servers. Before that there was at least a shuffling of servers.
A little over 1 week until the first season and these three servers are STILL recruiting, uh buying, guilds to come experience the thrill of 24/7 queues, megablobs and skill lag. These servers, and to a lesser extent TC, a T1.5 server, have done this just so they can be looked at as the best NA server with no other rewards. Now that there’s going to be a carrot given out at the end of 7 weeks they’re stacking even more.
The majority of matches in the first season will be with one server dominating, one server playing for second and a third server getting played. This does nothing to grow WvW. What it does do is alienate 2/3 of the servers, not something that creates sustainability.
Here is what you dont understand…. the MAIN REASON these servers dominate others is off hour coverage. This off hour coverage converged to these server because during the “stagnant” tier period this was pretty much the only place for Oceanic/SEA/EU players to find good fights.
Anet were the ones that decided adding variety was a good thing for whatever reason even though they were told massive blowouts will occur.
At this point, no destacking will occur, because oceanic/SEA/EU players have no reason to move now. Anywhere they go, chances are, they will still PVD.
It was never about being the best, but being able to find fights 24/7……..
I think it’s cute seeing so many ascended weapons already. I wonder if on the larger scale Anet achieved what they wanted to achieve, or if it only works with people newer to the game.
Anet has achieved what they wanted…… GW2 was never meant to be a clone of Gw1 where gear didnt matter at all. It was meant to have some sort of gear grind although a very very slight one. Exotics were ridiculously easy to get, and they definitely needed another tier of gear to grind for.
Getting ascended equipment is extremely easy compared to getting BIS gear in other mmo’s. I have no problem with ascended gear and cannot wait for ascended armor.
1. I have 330 skilpoints, so i will take a look
2. Doing that already.
3. Doing that already
4. Does that make any real profit??
5. Have done that
6. No thx, thats unreliable.
7. Have done that
8. Doing that already
9. I know
As a very active gold farmer, I can tell you that the best SUSTAINED gold/hour is gathering….. where to gather however and how to do it efficiently is up to you to find out. Currently im at 12-14g/hour sustained. The best part is you dont waste time waiting for parties to form etc.
For a change of pace, put together a pro zerker dungeon group and do COE > SE p1, p3, TA f/f,u and AC p1, p2,p3
These dungeons in particular because of the speed with which u can clear them ~ 15 min a path, and you can use the badges to buy exotic weapons to salvage for inscriptions that sell for 5g+
Ricky already made this thread before, and when people realized that Ricky is, well Ricky… they stopped responding and it got buried. Please let this one die in peace as well…..
It’s like everyone forgot that there was a number between 2 and 4… This would make it 1-8, 9-16, 17-24. Ideally, I’d like tiers of 6 so there’s less face-stomping, but I’d think 1 vs 8 would be far less bad than 1 vs 12. Likewise, 1 vs 6 would be less bad than either of the two, but what can we do?
Oh wait, we could try fixing the wvw population distribution. But we’ll just keep masking the real issues with fake new issues that nobody really cares about.
More like you forgot that 8 isn’t a multiple of 3.
I don’t know where you got 8 being a multiple of 3. There are 24 servers. 8×3=24…
And I’m not seeing Devon actually responding to anything. He’s kind of just dodging questions. We want to know how the player distribution disparity is going to be dealt with. Either fix your servers to top tiers aren’t such lag-fests, or find a way of encouraging a mass exodus from tier 1.
And in order to not guarantee that a rank 12 server will come last against a rank 1 server, has Anet considered taking score evolution into consideration? That’s the closest thing we have to an actual measurement of skill (in that it shows that we do better or worse than the system expects you to do). Taking the total score evolution from the 7 (or however many weeks) period, maybe a server ranked 12 can actually compete against a rank 1 server… Probably not, but it becomes less about the score of an individual matchup and more about how you score against the system’s predictions.
8/3 = 2.666
Matchups in a league of 8 would be 3 servers, 3 servers, 2 servers. Do NPC’s just man the empty slot until it’s capped?
lol i wish i could be there when melonion figures it out….
Tie the vast majority if not all of the AP/tangible rewards to how much you play for your server, rather than what server you are on. Winning should have rewards, but it should be like icing on the cake, not the whole reason to play. Reward people for fighting hard, not for transferring to JQ.
Keep the number of servers in each league at 12. The more the T1 servers have to endure week-long PvD fests against lower servers, the faster people lose interest and de-stack and the faster the servers normalize. Some kitten bandwagoners may quit out of boredom, but good riddance to them and all the better for the long-term prospects of WvW. 6 per league is too few, people will still crowd to the top servers because they will still match each other about half the time.
Leagues have the potential to fix so many problems that have plagued WvW since the start – I can only pray Anet doesn’t screw this up.
This destacking is a huuuge misconception…….. it simply wont happen. Sure the NA population may destack and lower the chance of blowouts, but most points are scored during Oceanic/SEA/EU…. if these guilds move they will still likely face PVD. From their point of view, stay in the place you know for PVD or go to a new unfamiliar place to PVD.
I agree with everyone that chances are this league will be an utter wvw crippling disaster, but there is one thing that MAY actually make it succeed.
We seem to have all forgotten about the achievement points that will be tied in with this. If there is enough AP, im talking on the scale of 2-3k for the season, that may be enough incentive to get all the PVE players involved on each server. The pve population FAR outnumbers the wvw population on each server. My hope is that this will drastically increase the wvw populations on even the lower ranked servers and atleast create some semblance of competition.
A slight chance, but a chance nonetheless…. If any wvw dev is reading this…. we need a HUUUUUUGE amount of AP to be awarded for completing the league achievements, and to have these achievements take the majority of the duration of leagues to complete.
This is not a troll. Looking for confirmation, did RISE and MEOW move from FA to JQ as well?
Was just wiping RISE in eb like 30 min ago….. so i dont think so….. well they havent moved yet, dunno if they plan on it. Saw MEOW earlier today as well…..
Oh and lol at that BG fundraiser…… totally dont buy guilds…..
So talked to a Maguuma person, I’m going to assume this is how the whole server thinks of open field fighting.
accurate
also, ebay, come be the try hards to our slacker. we need each other.
Ebay NA + Maguuma NA = Pretty dominant NA against T1. But only if they coordinated via voip like Mags used to do so well. (no offense, I dont know if you are still at the level you were 6 months ago.)
Your future SOR overlords would disagree……. abandon your flame ram god idols while there is still time!
So the last time it was JQ/SOR/BG we had several posters claiming that BG is falling apart and that MERC is transferring off….. All these accusation were vehemently denied, but seems that they were all true after all.

Meh, you don’t really need a checkbox… I usually have atleast 2 friends in my party and we just party kick anyone that doesn’t link zerker gear ( rare exceptions of course) or has less than 4k achievement points.
Usually takes like 5 min longer to find a party, but def worth it for the extra smooth runs….. I go farm some herbs etc while waiting so its no big deal.
As for elitism being at the bottom of the list – no, it isn’t – it’s one of the main reasons that very few players do dungeons – which means the game is failing to get people into some content that is meant to be showcasing it. That that content is being wasted because people are afraid of exclusion.
On the other hand, people quit doing dungeons because majority of PUG runs are not optimal at best, and plain terrible at worst. In such cases the content is wasted because of inability to filter like-minded players from the masses.
Finding a dedicated and professional dungeon guild isn’t an answer because of varied schedules, different time zones, language barriers, et cetera. And although I belong to a one, I’ve never seen a MMO with smaller amount of professional PvE guilds.
I have what I call a dungeon roster….. players that I ran with in PUGS etc that know their class and are in full zerker… I add them to friends and nickname them COE ( Name)… whenever i want a dungeon run I jut go down the list and ask them all….
LFG tool is very nice, Just follow the simple rule 2 people in the party have less than 3k AP, or one person has less than 1k, dont even bother with the run. It will save you alot of headaches…..
NOTE: this does not mean that having high AP will guarantee a smooth run, just decreases the chances of a bad run.
Funny thing about SOR. Two weeks ago it had an easy match-up and you had to wait like an hour to get into WVW. Last week it was back to fighting Blackgate and JQ and SOR losing and you could get into WVW no wait anytime. This week another easy match….and the hourly queue is back.
SOR sure does like to beat up on the little guy and when a fair fight shows up, they run home…..
Shrug…I played several times during the weekend and had out-manned buffs. SoR is a T2 pop server that just happens to be in T1.
The vast majority of SEA/Oceanic WVW’rs are currently doing regular tequatle kills. If you notice all of a suddenly no one is there and our ppt plummets, blame the pve I guess…..
oh god, turned it from high to medium and it makes my character’s skin look like cheese, really ugly
Well thats the thing….. Id like to have the skin look nice….. but that lighting effect is too distracting, especially when tons of players are involved.
When the league starts there will be no tiers. Glicko rating will disappear. Everyone will start on 0 points. Depending on the draw it is possible (even probable) that the current top three ranked servers aren’t going to finish as the top three.
We have to change the way we are thinking about this.
No there is no possible outcome except whether SOR or BG will be 1 or 2……. JQ 3, TC 4
Leagues are starting soon Ricky, if you play NA prime time maybe we will run into each other, I play on SoR, I run in a small 3-5 man group, we can see how much kitten you talk then.
population balance across servers is much different then wvw population and outside of reset SoR rarely fills a map (I have outmanned buff a lot) so its not always numbers that win fights for us.
to the poster above the problem with capping a map at a number that is slightly above your enemies is the game will count JP players, PvE map completiers and so on as enemies and also, capping a map and leaving wvw should not be a defensive tactic.
Poster plays on SoR, “so its not always numbers that win fights for us”, oh, really?
TBH, that is a terribly placed location just asking to be zerged, just like the south one.
I would like to see traits determine the skills a class has available to them rather than weapons. The current system IMO, really limits the creativity/skill ceiling that a player can achieve.
I would also like to see all toughness stats removed from the game.
I would like to see only core resource stats implement such as: vitality, strength, intellect. I believe having only these basic stats, allows for an easier time balancing the game. Right now fights are boring and people die only when they are focused by 3 or more players.
Additionally, players should have the ability to customize their gear (within limits of course) the stats they want to add to their gear. I dont like the fact that the gear stats are per-determined and we have to just go with what is “closest” to our ideal builds.
I wish we could use our regular gear obtained in WVWVW, PVE content etc in SPVP and VICE VERCA. I dont like the fact that SPVP make everyone pretty much the same.
Yes, get rid of other stats to make for more interesting variety build. Take a look at diablo 3 to see what happens with a simplistic and boring stat system.
Just because YOU need 3 people to kill someone doesnt mean I do ( Im not a thief).
You either dont understand proper gearing, or choose not to…. but choosing the perfect mix of stats can go a long way in terms of effectiveness…… depending on build.
