Guild Wars 2

No echo,

Instead how about you refute that the tournament pricing post-season makes no sense and is unfair.

Can’t do it without stating your distaste for other players? Didn’t think so.

If Anet wanted to continue to incentivize transfers to lower tier servers through a pricing structure based on WvWvW rank, then they should do that too. Anything would be better than the completely non-sensical current prices.

LOL ok echo. Believe what you want because it is clear that you ran out of an argument against the original post a few posts ago. If it wasn’t me posting this, it would be someone else on a server in the same situation posting the same sentiment.

Tournament pricing only supposed to be from March 28th – May 30th. Anet blundered.

It should be pointed out that Anet’s blog post says tournament pricing is from March 28th to May 30th.

Lol Chaba, fa is no where near the point of remotely being considered a " lower tier".

That’s a moot point that has little to do with pointing out that Anet not immediately removing the tournament prices after the tournament is over when the competition for transfers is highest unfairly punishes all servers affected by it.

LOL its funny how it suddenly becomes a moot point after tourney is over and now your “suddenly” wanting to go back to t2. tanking this time around didnt work out, guess you can try for bronze in season 3

Yes really what you say about FA’s rank/tier is a moot point because my main argument holds true for other servers in the same situation. Deal with it.

Why transfer to a lower ranked server for 2400 gems in EU when rank 1 Desolation is only 1000 gems?

Don’t forget SFH and that GF (iirc) on HoD. Solid players. FA is usually outnumbered during PST against HoD.

In T2 the small-man groups sometimes have to voltron unfortunately. In T3 they don’t. At least, that was how it was pre-season. It was hard to find Mag groups not voltroning, especially when the tournament was driving everyone to focus on PPT. Don’t know how it is now.

Have you seen the participation bar in TESO? It looks like a cell phone signal strength indicator. Yea, that might work. Players are more drawn to going to some place “semi-full” than “full” or “low”.

The short answer is yes.

The PPT scoring system is designed for teams of equal numbers. If you’ve played any sPvP matches, you know how difficult it is to win if someone disconnects from your team in the middle of a match. Yet this is how WvWvW is played every day.

Yep, bugged. It’s happened to me before and it sucked because I was on an uplevel and uplevels need the XP from an SMC capture more than anyone else.

It is said for SMC you need to get credit on killing a guard, tap a gate, and also stand in the circle to ensure credit for the capture. Other keeps and towers you can usually get credit just from killing a guard and/or tapping a gate, but for SMC you need to do all three.

People who transfer after the season ended to servers with the higher transfer prices should also receive a refund for the difference.

No, they really shouldn’t.

They wanted to transfer at that time with that price, so they did. End of transaction.

If prices change afterward, that doesn’t have any bearing on what they paid at the time they paid it.

If the price doubled after they left, should their accounts be tapped for the extra gems until it’s paid off?

Uh, I think you misunderstand. The tournament is over and they are still charging tournament prices for transfers even though Anet said the prices are for the tournament. And before you argue about this, be aware that Anet gave refunds for transfers right before the tournament started because there was also a difference between what Anet said and what people actually paid.

I think the poster is a girl

Nope. Definitely a guy. Only guys would feel entitled enough to care about losing in a video game.

Caedmon,

LOL, no man. Relax. I’m on Fort Aspenwood, one of the servers stuck with a higher transfer price yet lower tier at the end of seasons, and I certainly didn’t transfer to “win” for the tourney. FA has always been my home.

Your comment is extremely nonconstructive and misses the entire point of this thread. This thread is about servers competing for post-season transfers and wanting an even playing field in the price. It is completely opposite from the pre-season and tourney price structures: incentivize transfers to lower tiers.

Many won for free. Just accept it.

It is wrong that higher tiered servers have a lower transfer price. It is completely opposite to what the pre-season and season pricing structures sought to accomplish: incentivize transfers to lower tiered servers.

Considering that the whole point of the pre-season and season pricing structures was to encourage transfers to the lower tier servers, which was successful, it is unconsciousable that prices have not been updated immediately at reset since many server ranks have changed.

People who transfer after the season ended to servers with the higher transfer prices should also receive a refund for the difference.

This does nothing though to address the market of transfers. Level the playing field. The higher transfer prices are like a tax on the servers with them. Do you buy that big screen TV from a company in a state with a high sales tax or no sales tax?

Deli.1302:

Kinda stupid that servers of higher rank have a cheaper transfer cost than those lower down.

And they are receiving transfers during this time.

Anet,
It is extremely unfair of you to not have adjusted transfer prices right as the season ended (Your blog post said tournament pricing is from March 28th – May 30th). This is the time when players are looking to transfer and my server cannot compete fairly for these transfers (in the free market of transfers) against servers with a transfer price more than double of what it costs to transfer to a server at a higher rank.

I demand free transfers to affected servers as compensation for this blunder on your part.

Anet, you said the tournament pricing for transfers was from March 28-May30 yet the pricing is still in place. Fix it already.

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/get-ready-for-wvw-spring-tournament-2014/
“Tournament pricing (March 28-May 30)”

It’s another big gaffe by Anet to not have updated the transfer prices right after the season ended because it is encouraging transfers to servers with lower transfer prices at the exact time that guilds are looking to transfer post-season. My server is missing out on these transfers because our transfer price cannot compete with a server with a lower transfer price.

Too late. The Anet blog roll on this website provides enough information needed to avoid missing it in the future.

basepi.9768:

As a “reward” for this feat, we get 275 tickets, which is 25 short of even a single mistforged weapon!

SoR was stuck for three to four months in match-ups they got steamrolled in, quite a few of those was the “feat” of being stomped by DB. And you want some sort of reward for that?

Flooding support may not get the issue fixed faster, but it will allow Anet to better gauge the size of the problem. WvWvW players should absolutely flood support with tickets so that we become a voice louder than the PvE players. And remember, the issue probably affects PvE players who put the time into WvWvW too.

BTW, no chest appeared for me yet either.

Typically Anet posts mean what they say. They said the pricing was for the tournament which means only for the tournament. True they have not yet said what the new prices will be or when it will change, but I expect they will change since the tournament is over. My guess is that prices will change latest by the June 3rd patch, when the WvW ticket vendor appears.

What I want to know is how is Anet going to deal with the fact that the Glicko ratings system doesn’t adjust to pre-season server implosions and bandwagons fast enough? Because of it and the subsequent match-making, DB was able to leach rating from SoR for about a month which ended up forcing FA out of Gold and resulted in guilds leaving FA at the last possible moment even though they didn’t want to. Those guilds were forced to transfer due to the slow rating adjustment and poor match-making. SoR was locked into Silver league despite the fact that they STILL hadn’t settled into a new rank reflective of their population size. And here we are, 9 weeks later, three months or so since the SoR implosion, and SoR hasn’t had a fair match-up in all that time.

If they bring back underwater combat in WvW, they need to bring back underwater Rocket Boots. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5kRFs7T9qE

Atheria went to a server that ended up getting FA’s most troll guild, a guild that prides themselves on being trolls: TUNE. Guess s/he’s bitter about it. At least s/he can’t blame FA for Bags.

Bucket Lips.5017:

What is this “transfer” you speak of?

The very many who left FA for less trolly pastures.

Not including the large proportion of those who left FA for GvG, of course.

Fort Aspenwood players and guilds always get a good source of bags to farm and have the underdog, never give up mentality. Are you that sort of player?

Home to a variety of great guilds with different play styles (GvG, Havoc, PPT), experienced militia commanders and an established militia, Fort Aspenwood is a solid community. You can always be guaranteed a good fight and good company as a player on Fort Aspenwood.

YB’s double-teaming of FA with HoD’s help seems to be towards the goal of pushing SBI down to 4th or 5th. Not real sure what’s going on there.

OMG Spies!!!!!!

Seriously though, who cares? All I see is a guild having fun.

One of the reasons engineer is hard to play is because people usually get into a mindset of playing up front or at range. Engineer is a mid-range fighter that does best damage at close range but can’t stay for long at close range. In group play in WvW, you should be moving in and out of the melee train opportunistically, constantly managing your range.

If they limit the game mode to only racial skills, go for it. LOLOLOLOLOL

Duh. Best to make fun of it while you can then move on.

If they do, they should raise the cost to get one. Wouldn’t be fair to those who purchased a tag several times over.

I heard Norn have a lot of rangers too.

I thought he’s referring to the current season. That was last season.

An interesting proposal. How would you account for the glicko system not accounting for population changes fast enough pre-season?

Which silver league servers did that?

So the charr and asura will have the most engineers while the sylvari are left with the most rangers?

Lennex.7640:

/thread guested on sfr and can join again…..

That sounds quite broken. Good luck!

He’s on EU. EU reset happened already I think so if he transferred on April 27th he should be able to enter now. I’d contact support by this time.

The OP seems to be looking for a way to increase the importance of defense and encourage it. The suggestion assumes that the asset is under attack more often than not, which is not always true. It would only reward more points to a server with superior coverage than is warranted.

Animal Control [YAK]

and

I heard WvWvW is supposed to be unfair.

That’s it? A single golden yak? Oh, TC, how low you have become. Where have gone the days of the yak zerg and FA’s animal control squad?

Did you transfer to another EU server or NA? Reset times are separated between EU and NA.
