Guild Wars 2

lordkrall.7241:

I think you misunderstood my post.
What I said was that there are more than a few guilds that have 30+ active members in WvW.

There are guilds in this game that can queue entire maps in this game, So yeah moving it to 30 players would cause a huge amount of players to leave. What krall said is true. On reset my guild had 40 in wvw. 10 more then what the OP wants the limit to be.

I could brag about how we wiped you guys open field all night on reset with even numbers, and never wiped once on your home bl. Figured I’d give you guys a break that day though.

Aside from Friday at release, all of our same commanders are leading… >shrugs< And I’m on one of the highest population servers. WvW has been pretty amazing once in. Enjoying it a lot!!!

Ditto.

Double ditto

Why would they do that, they don’t outnumber us 4:1 and that’s how they win. Plus how could they win the match up without focusing the weakest server for points. This is how hills went in ioj bl last night.

100 attack, 60 ioj wipe them.
90-100 attack, 70 ioj wipe them
80-90 attack,60 ioj wipe them.

Ofc we had we’ve but they weren’t bright enough to kill it ever. They completely ignored cannons firing on Ben every time lololol.

SykkoB.9465:

t1 servers have no right to complain about ques, we have the best round the clock coverage of all servers and its a price we pay. Btw the pver/fairweather will be gone ina week or 2 once they get there achievements.

O and there r 4 maps if one seems to have a long que, TRY A DIFFERENT ONE. I am sure not all 4 maps have 3-4 hour ques.

I like this guy. He uses logic unlike 90% of other T1 people who view themselves as the center of he game.

My favorite past time is joint elitist parties and then seeing how much I can make them rage.

100v100v100 in SM tonight. Weap skills worked fine. Utility? Lol 30 second cast.

Queues have been this way since launch guys, if you bothered to listen or hear out EU players you would know this. NA players are just now experiencing what EU players have had since launch.

Um… NA has been experiencing it since launch also, not sure where that statement is coming from.

You would be correct that it has been this way for NA durin launch. What I was trying to say is NA has never hit the amount of population EU has during prime time there for no queues were created on a regular basis at all. (Going purely off all the T1 servers claiming to never have queues during prime time here) so what I was trying to clear up for NA people is that it has been this way, it is not a bug so stop thinking it is. It is how the system is designed :p

sephiroth.4217:

To the [EA] ranger, that was an awsome dance you did after the 2v1, musta felt great to finally kill the person who has killed you about 4 – 5 times already.

I keep forgetting CD is about the unfair fights and emote wars, I’ll be sure to play that game with you guys from now on, looks like a lot of fun.

inb4 they accuse you of needing to l2p after ganking them 2+v1.

No incentive to defend a keep with all the K-trains.

However my guild personally loves defending. You can farm minimally 300 kills from 1 keep, and upwards of 3-4k in a few hours easily if you are good and dont mind using siege.

Queues have been this way since launch guys, if you bothered to listen or hear out EU players you would know this. NA players are just now experiencing what EU players have had since launch.

Edit: FYI to be constructive to the post, it has been stated and proven many times it is not a bug. It is how the queue system is set up. You ARE NOT placed in a linear order, You are placed at random in the queue, So if two people queue at the same time, one may get in instantly, the other may wait 3 hours.

WvW pop cap is about ~100 or at most 120 per map(Per server, So 300-360 per map total)

Maybe this will become the grand destacking of T1 servers?!:D:D Seriously doubt it, but we can all hope.

Mend Had fun farming NSP for a short while in SM. Os is smarter then BP and DB guilds though it seems and learned to send more then one mesmers in :p

Mend also had fun Farming CD endlessly with then 70+ in hills. Fell for the same tricks almost every time.

Gold Tally: 25

Good Fights from all servers tonight. Just.. Learn to counter tactics better CD, and NSP holy kitten PvE’rs get them geared up xD

~~[Os] Great job tonight, impressed us with that push in SM, most servers arent that bright sadly. [EA], Some constructive feedback not meant to be insulting, but cut down stack time. If we hit you while you are still stacking you automatically lose, but nice job tonight. If you get that down you’re a true force to be reckoned with~~

DevonCarver.5370:

Agreed. We have a plan for doing something like this that we’ll have more info on later. Right now we have to get it tested and do all the other things before we can be sure it is what we’d want.

Can we get like an ETA of when it will be available in 2014? Dont need specifics, Maybe like which quarter?

Draygo.9473:

^ if you were on JQ that means you get JQ’s reward + the fact that you have no queue.

Why not transfer? Best of both worlds.

IoJ and NSP need people to help balance out the silver league.

This, IoJ lost a quite a few WvWers recently and NSP isnt on par with us even and we’re technically the bottom. Either of the servers could use you and your friends. With the league we queue’d 3 maps on reset. PvE’rs OP.

Arcturus.5846:

Contiguous.1345:

Right now this is a big problem.
It’s not just the queue. When you do get in, the quality of team-play has gone through the floor.

Normally our pugs are reasonably tight disciplined, mostly on TS and nearly all aware of how to play the game. But right now, they are just running around hitting things, attacking the sentries, doors, wildlife, anything. When the enemy comes in sight they scatter and run. They clearly haven’t the faintest idea.

Out of a zerg of around 30, there were 5 of us on TS trying to direct the fight – total waste of time.
I can see the opposing servers are no better off, I’ve chased people through the middle of the enemy zerg and stomped them with enemy players just scattering out of my way – and I’m playing a mesmer.

It’s a mess.

Exactly this. It is literally ruining alot of servers PPT and score. They need to add priority que for dedicated WvWvWers like rank 50? and above for reset night.

On IoJ [Mend] Had great success with pugs… Thats probably because we had 30 Core solid wvwers in the middle of 30 pugs all on a private ts though :p

Caroline.4987:

Oh dear…someone doesn’t realize this is going to be the new normal…

You think they’re gonna stop with a single season? =P

The metrics in anets eyes Are already a success with all the pve players in wvw. People who think there won’t be another season are fooling themselves.

(Replied to you to prove the people that will disagree wrong :p)

GrandmaFunk.3052:

Zubon.3160:

To note: CD is in the lead. If you attack the 2nd place team, you are just letting them get further in the lead. The idea is for 2nd and 3rd to attack 1st, not to fight each other so 1st can build up an unbeatable lead.

Sounds good.

Is that why IoJ is holding camps in our BL while we’re busy going after CD?

http://i.imgur.com/zuZoJWu.jpg

One does not simple stop camp flippers.

[Mend] Had fun in CD BL tonight. We only wiped once, but it was close quite a few times. GREAT fights by CD all night even if Morale was obviously low on your end

IoJ… Who lost over 200 WvWers recently. Just queue’d 3 maps for 1 hour plus. Holy PvE players.

Dont get discouraged NSP. CD numbers are crazy higher on reset then they are the rest of the week. But watch your SEA time slot. I recommend 100% defense during that time due to them having probably the second largest SEA pop in silver right now.

Not 3rd, lots of people have gotten it by now. Just don’t announce it :p
Congrats anyways chem, best ele EU

I’m rooting for an FC/ET upset. 10g on fc, 5g on ET. DONT LET ME DOWN GUYS XD

Whatever the issues are, its not just on W v W; Since Blood & Madness became active weird things are happening on some of the P v E maps too.

Not many here care about pve maps :p

No doubt lol; just a thought – there are issues across the board so to speak, could all be related……

Anet just seems to have put a ton of future code in this last patch which has caused all sorts of issues. At least it will be fixed next big patch rather then getting 10 hotfixes a day xD actually I like the hot fixes… They saved sm/keeps a few times :p

Visirale.6097:

Spazz, I don’t think you were even on BP yet that night. Either way, yes we did engage them several times on their own. The first time was after they had gone through MEND. We were doing troll build tuesdays and we two-shot alaric with class cannon killshot warriors. After that we put our real classes/builds on and found them several other times. Alaric fell back to the numbers argument. The same argument he uses when promoting SIC, he’ll talk about 15 v. 40 all day when he’s wiping pug zergs but backs out when he loses 10 v. 20. Regardless, I do respect SIC’s fighting heart… it has good people. But SIC really didn’t need another kitten talker, Alaric covers that role just fine.

I have to agree with this post, we haven’t wiped to sic since Tuesday and we did not have very many more then you guys when we’ve fought since then. Alaric says 25 can beat 80 but if he loses 10-15v20-25 he uses a numbers argument. Very contradicting.

johnpoc.8732:

According to leaderboards NSP is part of Bronze league and Kaineng got up into Silver leage

Wrong boards friend, they’ve stated several times the area a server will be is based on this weeks performance. I don’t know why they froze their official boards lol

Sarrs.4831:

AndrewSX.3794:

It’s just the overflow of the PvE and AP hunter masses.

When they’ve got their achievements or new shiny PvE LS comes out, you’ll see how number drops.

This really depends on the retention rate. Even if there’s a 15-25% conversion rate from “never WvWs” to “WvWs quite a bit”, that’s a pretty significant population boost, and a shot in the arm that WvW really needs.

Not to mention there will probably be future seasons and possibly other WvW events if the leagues are popular according to metrics.

Agreed, if you can convert even 5% of the pve base to we this season that population gap will close a ton for lower tier and mid tier servers in my opinion.

Solstice.1097:

Svarty.8019:

You had me until you said;

“It’s a blobfest” -> now you gotta stop blobbing to escape the skill lag

I play in bronze so I rarely see skill lag because we rarely have large zerg v zerg. I’m just guessing the skill lag will ultimately split up the zergs.

Not saying skill lag is a good thing.

I think he means that this doesn’t solve the blob issue. Eu has had the worst skill lag for moths due to the fact they all have similar time zones for prime time and blobs still rule the meta.

Andrew Clear.1750:

Dude, you stole my name. But, that would be crazy if that is the case, and everyone tht transferred would be wondering why they shelled out that much money to be on the dolyak winning server.

Mini dolyak=everyone that’s finishes meta achievement.

Dolyak finisher+ other unannounced exclusive rewards=League winner.

Can we get Konigs insight on this topic? :P

Yeah mod.. Two completely different servers

Once again, Just like in all the other posts, Your placement in queue is random. Putting a counter wouldnt help you at all as your position is moved constantly.

Chaba.5410:

Easy to brag about not wiping when holed up on the third floor of SMC behind a kitten ton of arrow carts and ballistae or running back through the unguarded side of garrison to the safety of the arrow carts at inner. I wouldn’t wipe either.

Oh srry. I was speaking about the BP in SM in those posts. I didnt think SIC zerged.

deathTouch.9706:

Welcome to Silver/Junior Varsity league SBI!!

I’m sorry to hear that, despite your massive coverage advantage over similarly-tiered servers and blatant cheating/point inflation scheme with SoR you weren’t able to take advantage of your best-case-scenario match up against SoR and obtain a Gold League/Varsity position.

However, I’d like to congratulate you on the wonderful consolation prizes you have won with your JV placement!

1) A massive influx of even more bandwagoners and fairweathers!

2) Endless hours of 24/7 PvD fun!

3) Loss of those rare and pesky “skilled” SBI players who will be transferring to a server that offers greater competition!

4) A finisher!!!!

Good luck in your Silver/JV endeavors SBI, and I hope you can continue to be a shining example of skillful and fair play for the rest of the GW2 community!

Best post i’ve seen in this thread.

BP I hope you guys get off karma train mentality by reset tomorrow. 25 of us in garri held back 50+ of you AFTER siege was destroyed for quite a while. Only after out tanks went down after a poor push I’ll admit on our part, did you get in— 5 minutes after.

On other notes good fights tonight HK and all that were with them at hills and water camp.

Apologies to the SIC engi I killed earlier 1v1 on my level 13 necro.

Poor showing by some db guilds emote spamming after they killed me 5v1 on my up level. Sad to see such great guilds and such poor ones on the same server.

Over all great week. Mend had fun fighting everyone whether we won or lost. Good luck to everyone in the leagues. Look forward to fighting you all soon!!

Karn I refuse to believe you killed someone. I require screenshots, Youtube video and a notary signing off on it!

By the way don’t think I didn’t see you in Hills last night. I admit, I touched you when no one was looking.

I love you MEND, don’t ever leave me.

Don’t worry I’ll get all of that next time I somehow manage to kill someone I have respect for most SIC members as well. The issue comes when they get one or two wipes on someone with close to even numbers and come to brag about it. Also they claim to Zerg bust, why can’t they do that against mend constantly. We’ve not wiped to then in days. Just saying that’s where my problem comes in with SIC, don’t blame us for blob blobbing then killing you when you claim to be superior and wipe numbers 2-3 times your size.

Sorry that all wasn’t directed at you grab, when my necro is 80 I full expect a 1v1 against you

Haven’t you heard? Level 13…level 80…doesn’t matter when its a necro, they are all OP

On a side note… Killed an ele, thief, ranger and warrior all level 80 on my necro earlier thief from db rest from bp. Anet pls don’t nerf necro I’m having fun! (All 1v1 ofc, I’m too bad to 5v1)

Sarsbear.3469:

Curo.2483:

The only reason NSP is in silver is because we have more players (than HoD/Kain) that place their pride over their enjoyment of the game. Ignorance is bliss I guess.

Our only serious WvW guild (Os), knew that bronze was where we belonged, even though they wanted to be in silver for the competition. Some ignorant people flamed Os for this decision (which was a completely selfless one), so Os took us to silver to prove themselves to said people.

I’d say it’s some consolation to know that the NPS’ers that wanted us in silver are going to be getting their faces beaten in, but it’s really not. I won’t be able to enjoy my favourite aspect of the game for 7 weeks unless I leave my home server, which I have gotten very attached to.

This entire “WvW season” thing was a horrible idea, and is only rivaled in horribleness by the fact that Anet gave people so much time to destroy their own servers via transfers, stacking, throwing, and the results of differing opinions on those topics. I for one know that NSP was split between people who wanted bronze vs silver, and we risked losing multiple guilds and guild leaders over the whole thing.

As someone said earlier, those who see this as a challenge for NSP to overcome are delusional. The word “challenge” implies a chance of success. What’s even more ridiculous is how many NSP’ers think we fought hard and earned a rightful place in silver league. They don’t seem to understand that we are here because of illegitimate action taken by other servers who purposely lowered their WvW score to take what should have been our position in bronze.

What’s really funny is that Devon thinks he’s going to finish the Season 1 meta on NSP. The only way we are getting Stonemist Castle is if the other servers pity us and give it to us freely.

I hope all of the people on NSP that wanted to be in bronze transfer to a bronze server and leave the PvP to the rest of us. I don’t care about leagues, winning, PPT, or fair fights. My success is based on how many nerds I spike, and having fought all of these other servers before, they don’t field enough people to stop me.

Missed you SPCA <3

Count IoJ out basically. CORE, SE, PPK all left(or in process of leaving).

[Mend] Is still here and looking forward to the coming fights!

SE just went there about a month ago. Now they’re leaving again. Man thats a lot of gold/gems.

Banzie.5248:

So for nsp people who haven’t bothered to read most of the posts here’s the break down on why you are on par.

IoJ:
CORE->FA
SE->EU
PPK->FC
SIC->BP
ERPn->BP

CD:
INC->Mag
EK->BG

So much of these two servers NA has been crushed.

So what server in/is EU? Don’t see one in the NA or EU that could have those initials.

Sorry I didnt know the Server that they xferred to at the time, SE went to FR, Fort Ranik I believe.

Removed my post as wrong server :P

INC went to mag and EK moved back to BG. This happened like two or three weeks ago..

Edited for accuracy. I know when it happened as IoJ was fighting them at the time. It does not change the fact CD NA prime is not what it use to be though.

[Mend] Had fun tonight, Nice fights from [TG] and [ING] from DB. [Pink} from BP omg, you guys are massive, Half of you didnt even load on my screen most of the time. [SIC] could improve a bit from what we’ve seen tonight.

Goodfights to you too, and to the rest of IOJ that we fought tonight. Was fun to fight [Mend] at Ogres.

And to BP, your EBG zerg was massive at the start of our [ING] raid. lol

It’s been a very fun matchup, thanks to all for the fights throughout the week. Unfortunately our rest day is Thursdays until reset but you’ll still see our members around.

Have fun all.

Ahh yes the Ogres :P We thought we had you there, but turns out most of you regrouped behind and it was just pugs we killed xD

Nice job being smarter then the rest of DB and jumping behind us in your Keep as well. Sadly many people dont try to jump, they try to attack from there, but rarely jump xD

If you’re talking about when you guys were at watergate, you guys held that position for awhile with good AC cover. That was a pretty difficult spot for us to attack.

As for the pugs, cant really do much to help them since only the [ING] can hear me talk on TS

Yep thats where Im talking about :P

Oh, and we’ll have the video up on our website that will include the Ogres fight. You guys can check it out if you want, but its in our POV obviously. Just putting it out there incase you’re interested lol. It will be up in less than an hour.

Here is that video of ING v MEND at Orgath

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi98rBTRcTU

Yeah, having watched the video, it looked pretty grim for us until the regroup behind the hut.

Goodfight [Mend].

Yeah we lost sight of you when you went to restack cause of the kitten pugs with you still attacking us x_x Annoying little buggahs.

So for nsp people who haven’t bothered to read most of the posts here’s the break down on why you are on par.

IoJ:
CORE->FA
SE->EU
PPK->FC
SIC->BP
ERPn->BP

CD:

So much of these two servers NA has been crushed.

What will push certain servers over the top for upset wins in this league is going to be the PvE population. Many servers that are low in the WvW Spectrum are “Very High” or sometimes for a minute or two hit “Full” on the transfer list for NA prime time.

Hardly that little. Not to mention their commanders have rallied pugs together into organized guilds the last week. The BP you all knew is way more deadly now then It has been. This isnt even including the PvE population that will be coming in.
