kfarb.6732:

Convenant, I’ve been meaning to ask you this since you joined Maguuma, but then you left really quickly for some other server and now you’re on a new one again so I never got the chance.

Was the first n in your name intentional? Or did you just go with it? I mean no disrespect, I didn’t really read this thread but I figured I’d have the best shot of a reply here. I guess you killed some people on reset night which is cool so congrats.

Of course it’s intentional, since “Covenant” would be taken in most games. It’s been my gaming acronym for several years now. No offense taken! Thanks. We did kill some people on reset night, and it was cool.

I post a WvW video.
You go “our plan was to hold north on reset”.

Not much reading comprehension to be done here… the rest is just as impertinent..

katniss.6735:

Every time someone mentioned AoN in mumble, it was followed with “leave them alone, let them do their own thing.” Every time I fought them they were running away. I don’t even party with anyone when I play. They did not have just 4 people when I saw them. Was closer to 12. Everyone is trying to do the guild lawnmower thang.

Guardian, ele, warrior, mesmer. Do you even need a 5th? It wasn’t 20 vs 4. It was 5, then 5 more, etc. Lets see you run 4 people into a zerg instead of post some misleading, ego-fed, pug slaughter. The start of the video is you running away after all.

WWLD?
I wouldn’t run into a warrior if I got hit for half my health bar on the first hit.
I would do what you’re doing. Kiting.
I wouldn’t stand in mesmer aoe.
I wouldn’t focus the guardian or the ele, being it that I’m an ele and it’s not 1v1.

Those people don’t represent Maguuma imo. They have no idea what they’re doing.

On a side note, I don’t even think we have 12 active members…

…Where in the world do you see 12? Okay, a random pubby joined the action about 2 or 3 mins into the video.. so many things are wrong with what you said. We took a 5 man and ran 35+ Maguuma into the ground, before taking the tower, wiping Maguuma 10 times over before we finally got bored and left.

Why didn’t we post that fight? Because frankly, that zerg sucked… it was like a wednesday afternoon and I agree, THAT zerg doesn’t represent Maguuma. But having fought you guys for long enough, I can say that this was one of the better Maguuma groups.

Let’s face it… fighting a T5 zerg, flanking them from the side, in a chokepoint, with half of the zerg being upleveled, the other half clueless about WvW.. is not that impressive in my opinion.

AoN presents a 4 man in an excellent battle, on reset night, versus Maguuma and Fort Aspenwood, hitting them head on. Enjoy and thank you, people!

According to my calculations, AoN 7 member gank squads average around 3.4 kills per minute and play 24 hours straight, everyday. 5,000+ Kills a day is quite impressive.

Definitely a sign of lack of IQ.. contrarily to your beliefs, I don’t really think we kill 5000+ every day, nor do I really believe OG sits behind a mill 24/7. The fact that I have to explain this to people.. completely.. boggles.. my.. mind..

(sorry for this post in advance… such rash comments coming from OG barely deserves any better; sorry Attunement and Bunzy)

AoN continues to rack 5,000+ kills with a 7 man every day. OG continues to talk smack and lies on the forums while doing nothing significant in-game.

AoN continues to construct the team around group-based, team oriented and mobile playstyle destined to break zergs. OG continues to emphasize on how AoN are “scared” and complain about getting outnumbered.

AoN continues to desperately search for a OG group in WvW, as dueling nullifies situational awareness, movement, cohesion and utilization of terrain. OG continues to sit behind the mill.

No, nothing’s changed in the roaming scene.

Thank you, ArenaNet.

Sincerely,

all of AoN.

People are talking about “new math..”

In my original post, I’ve put up a quote in which they’ve already admitted to have weeks of turmoil. All your “new maths” argument is completely, utterly invalid.

The point is: NEW MATH OR NOT,

reset = weeks of turmoil (as ArenaNet stated)
no reset = all good matchups

Tammuz.7361:

Couple of issues with the OPs analysis: your not includig the current queue bug issues, if we went back to having the proper number of people per zone i think youd see that the matchups would become much less ballenced.

I think you are overestimating the impact of queue bugs. There is no queue bugs in most tiers.

Toggles.1783:

Minos.5168:

I’m sure they’ll be smart and not drop T1 servers down to T6.

And yet the logical conclusion from what they said is that that is exactly what will happen and they haven’t denied it.

If they continue on this path we need from Anet a specific justification well before reset addressing the quite reasonable points raised by players here.

Exactly!

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Coming-Soon-WvW-Rating-Reset/1313585

We expect several weeks of volatility while the ratings settle down but we believe that it will ultimately yield a more correct result more quickly than letting the current ratings persist.

Unfortunately, the bold part simply isn’t true. <3 them for trying though. (no sarcasm)

T1 servers dropping down more than one tier is exactly what “we expect several weeks of volatility” means.

That is EXACTLY my point. I go on and get quotes and data, and everyone ignores them and still gives the same arguments.. silly how people respond after reading the first line of the thread.

Minos.5168:

SoR completely dominated TC and SBI last time.

Primarily because SBI didn’t really have a chance (and thus, gave up)…

SoR then was free to completely focus on TC.

It wasn’t a “fair” battle. SoR’s numbers were just more massive for all times during the day.

Even when they had us (Tarnished Coast) pushed back to our spawn point… We were still taking out more of them than they were of us. They just had like 30 people (at like 2am EDT) compared to our 10.

Numbers mean everything in WvW.

If ArenaNet found a decent way to adjust for that, then battles would be vastly more even.

(Give realms low on players extra Veteran NPCs that follow the server’s players around, for example…)

…this week, SBI has had the most fun they’ve had in weeks. This is at the price of several weeks of getting smashed. With populations now mostly stable, the trend shouldn’t change.

WHICH part of what you said justifies the rating reset?

Diashame.6328:

They mentioned other things as to why reset, like tier 8 having a massive disadvantage to jump out of it’s tier due to total points being so low AND they are modifying the points score.

A couple of weeks of boredom to give everyone an equal chance of finding their natural home is fine by me.

…tell me which server that is currently in T8 doesn’t BELOND in T8 or T7.

rmBossa.4621:

“At the end of this matchup, all ratings will be reseted (set to 1,500). ANet has not yet announced the math so the site will use the old formula and the ‘next matchup table’ may be innacurate.”

Thats from the top of the Millenium site.

Learn to read ppls. For all we know not much is going to change.

Have you even read their post announcing the change? They mentioned SLIGHT changes to math, with most to remain identical. Millenium stands correct.

Cosmic.6047:

There is no disconnection. With all the transfers & last minute transfers many tiers
are totally loop sided ( 3 tiers where the leading server has more points than the other 2 combined ). Does the reset make the next few weeks more volatile yes but servers are going to find there right spot more quickly because the history got wiped. Many servers are stuck in a tier where they don’t belong because of the history in the rating system. Is it unfortunate for some ? Yes. But it’s good for most.

You are also disconnected.

Dockin.1745:

Their were several imbalanced tiers. Lots of whining about blowouts and “this isn’t fun” posts. Anet listened and is doing something about it.

Whether their action is right or wrong and whether it’s effective, we will have to wait and see. But I believe they are listening and appreciate the action on their part.

I don’t believe will have the huge migrations anymore due to paid moves which is a big plus for stability.

Again, your opinion reflects that of one who doesn’t really play WvW and doesn’t spend a lot of time analyzing it.

There are no more blowouts in the current matchup.

If there’s no migration, then what’s the reasoning with this reset?

ghtchill.7613:

I totally agree with the OP. This ratings reset seems completely unnecessary. Kaineng just got to a competitive tier after steamrolling T7-T4. Not much fun. T3 is much more fun and the steamrolling has stopped. Now, if the Millenium projections hold up and we are playing SF and Ebay next week, it’s right back to steamrolling. Not fun at all for those servers and not fun for us.

The alternative projection, depending on final points, seems to have us potentially in T2 against BG and DH. We’ll probably lose to BG, but not be steamrolled by them, and DH will be squashed by both of us. If I were on DH I think I’d chose to do something else that week.

Once this all settles out in a couple of weeks what will be gained? WE’ll most likely be right back to where we are now. So what’s the point? Seems like a kid shaking up the ant farm to see what happens. The ants get mad and then rebuild the same thing…

Kaineng agrees that this is the most fun they’ve had in weeks. That’s T3, mind you. I’m in T3 and it’s so.. much.. fun.. I’m sure 99% of the population would like to keep it like this for at least another week. Despite people’s claims that we’re getting “destroyed”, which we’re not.

GottFaust.5297:

Convenant.7092:

GottFaust.5297:

I’d like to bring your attention to a quick couple of points:
* Tiers 3, 5, and 8 are currently so lopsided in total points that the winning server has more points that both the other servers put together.
* Tiers 2 and 7 are being soundly trashed by their current leader to the point of no hope for a change-up any time soon.

Current potential points aside 5 out of 8 of the current tiers are NOT good match-ups. If the points reset expedites a solution to these issues. I’m all for it.

Do you even play WvW? If you’d actually play, you’d know that the goal is to have a fight, to be able to achieve something, to put up a fight. Those tiers give the servers the ability to put up a fight. It’s a FUN tier. Most WvWers agree. You probably just look at the points without even going in-game to play.

So… Let me get this straight… You think that 3 out of 8 tiers getting completely destroyed to the point that the winning server has more points that both the other servers put together is a “good fight”, and that 2 of the remaining 5 tiers getting beaten to the point of being very close to the aforementioned 3 tiers is also a “good fight”? I’m confused now…

Also, I really shouldn’t bother to list the logical fallacies in this post, but I will:

• argumentum ad hominem
• argumentum ad populum
• argumentum ad ignorantiam
• reification

Your lack of rationality is almost disturbing. First things first.

HOW is ratings reset going to help that?

Those tiers are NOT getting destroyed. TC and FA regularly say that they enjoy the challenge and that they are having FUN… please, either get yourself checked, or leave this thread alone as your arguments do not serve the purpose of the discussion.

If you agree that ratings reset = better matchups.. then you are not very enlightened at the core and the only reason I’m typing this is so that others don’t get misled by your total failure in regards of common sense.

earendil.1290:

Your premise is not correct. Or at least not in their model. Balanced match does not equal a better game – game goes stale when you keep fighting at the same level and you get bored out of it.

They want the WvW population to be equally distributed between servers. They want a newcomer to feel just as good as the old timer. It’s a game for PvXers that casually log into WvW and they actively try to discourage the creation of “elite” WvW.

PvE was build the same way – anyone can join any PvE DE and get the full rewards without having to even ask.

What is your point? The things you say have absolutely nothing to do with the topic. You state that you want the WvW population to be equally distributed (which is most probably false, it’s near impossible to have equal servers all around and ArenaNet knows that; that’s the whole reason for a ranking system rather than a random every week).

The ratings reset have nothin to do with the creation of an “elite” for WvW. Balanced match does not equal funner game? Do you.. even.. play WvW?…

crewthief.8649:

See this is the thing. I don’t think it has anything to do with getting matchups correct. It makes no sense, because Matchups are as close to correct as they can get right now. I think it has to do with making money off paid transfers.

From a business point of view, it is also irrational. Start with the simple premise that better game —> more business. Of course it’s not always true, but I have enough respect for ArenaNet and its fans to say that it is in this case.

More-so that an actual better game experience, there’s the fact that.. unless you plan on transferring every week, the best choice would be endure the weeks of unbalanced matchup and wait it out, because matchups will be volatile. And let’s face it… they don’t make much money off the transfers…

Have faith in ArenaNet; I don’t think it’s an evil company, they’ve just made a bad decision regarding this issue. But it’s important to emphasize, since future updates CANNOT be planned with the same disconnection as this one.

Hi, I will rapidly prove how ArenaNet is completely disconnected from the reality of WvW that is easily observable through the Ratings Reset decision. This is important, because it is an issue that translates into a greater issue: the fact that ArenaNet is making wide-range WvW decisions based on volatile and subjective information. First off, what is this decision?

“…in light of the increased population stability that comes with paid transfers, we feel that this would be a good time to reset the ratings of all the servers. A reset at this point will allow the rating & ranking system to more quickly and correctly….” -ArenaNet

So all ratings will be reset, and new ratings will be calculated “normally in the way you’re already familiar with” – ArenaNet

They’ve also stated “We expect several weeks of volatility while the ratings settle down” -ArenaNet.

Let me run this down for you. The goal is to create more even matchups, at the price of several weeks of completely unbalanced matchups. The first question is.. are the matchups even? Let’s look at the NA boards for this week. Sources: http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#NA

Tier 1 —> Sanctum of Rall/SoS/Jade Quarry --> VERY even, with JQ falling just very slightly behind in points. Overall very good fights.

Tier 2 —> BlackGate/TC/FA --> VERY even between TC/FA, with BlackGate having a lead over the other two. Overall very good fights.

Tier 3 —> Kaineng/Maguuma/Dragonbrand --> VERY even between Maguuma and Dragonbrand, Kaineng stronger than the other two during oceanic hours (so NA time fights are absolutely superb). Kaineng would be normally projected to go to T2 next week, where they would’ve found their proper tier.

Tier 4—> SBI/CD/YB —> Even between YB/CD, but SBI projected to drop another tier (normally), finding its proper tier and switching with Ehmry Bay.

Tier 5—> EB/IoJ/Devona’s —> Even between IoJ and Devona’s, EB projected to switch places with SBI, evening out bother Tier 4 and 5 matchups.

..etc.

The point is.. all current matchups are a GOOD fight right now, and no matchups observe a +560 for one server, and only +25 for the other servers. All servers have a fighting chance and are NOT being wiped off the map at this point, as will it be the case if the ratings reset. Why is this? Because the system worked, and the matchups did balance out, despite the transfers. This is the whole point of the system. Resetting the points is an absurd decision. Why are we to endure weeks of turmoil while the fights are balanced RIGHT NOW?

ArenaNet’s decision is irrational with its goal: resetting the ratings will create at least three weeks of turmoil, with servers getting crushed and morale broken, while other servers sit in boredom while they have to wait for ratings to be brought to its rightful state.. probably very very close to what we have RIGHT NOW.

Reset ratings —> a month or more before it’s perfectly balanced, lots of +560s and server morales broken or total boredom through domination

Don’t reset ratings —> matchups will be balanced within two weeks, and all tiers enjoy a good fight. Not a SINGLE +560, and all servers feel like they can at least do something in this matchup.

WvW matchups are perfect as it is, as is proven by.. well.. ACTUALLY PLAYING THE GAME, and making decisions considering actual facts easily observable through simply looking at the WvW scores. Please, spend some time correcting other issues.

Epic Garrison in Kaineng borderlands fight everybody

Everyone’s having fun right now.. the tiers have balanced out accordingly with the population. Why ruin this by resetting points?

AoN enjoyed fighting everyone tonight, again shoutouts to guilds of Kaineng: OBEY, TL, RUN, Meow fought us most. To Maguuma, kitten you Rebel Daughter. Good fights!

As a player who’s seen Kinkypotato (the OP) in action, I’d say he’s (or she) is one of the best players in the game at both sPvP and WvW. No other elementalist has impressed me more. His opinion on the subject, in addition to being perfectly backed up by extensive experience, skill and master of his class, is representative of most players using the clerics set (not just for support). Let’s face it, there’s been Ascended amulets for most stat sets, but none for the clerics set. All we ask is ArenaNet to at least justify as to why they have made this decision.

AoN is a hardcore WvW guild, focused on group play. We run mobile and deadly small groups in WvW and we’re very effective. If you`re interested, our contact info ingame and voice-com info is on the website: gw2allornothing.wordpress.com.

Our requirements? Be good, be dedicated, by a team player. If you can’t play as a team, we’re not for you.

Keep calm and carry on,

What exactly are the queue times? Do they queue up in all borderlands?

Hi AoN is very interested in transferring to Blackgate. We were wondering how were the queues?

Ignore the trolls, folks.. the offer stands!

Should we raise our price?

Greetings,

(this is not a recruitment thread, nor does it serve to advertise a guild.. this is a half serious post meant for entertainment purposes, which we will take seriously if you do. Moderators, this is up to you to judge whether the community is, or not, too sensitive for this material.)

Some of you may know us as AoN, a global brand of mercenaries that stands for everything the men and women of AoN stood for: Excellence, Reliability and Unfailing Commitment to Duty and Service.

In the group’s dozen years thousands of support, DPS, strategists and professionals worked serving their server by keeping members of the specific server (including Maguuma, Ehmry Bay, Eredon Terrace, Fort Aspenwood, Darkhaven and more), commanders, pubbies, zerglings and relief workers safe from harm.

The legacy of those who served under the AoN name retains the dignity and integrity earned in the line of duty. Those same qualities are now found in the officially licensed All or Nothing guild.

Our starting price for our services stand at 50 gold per week. Please contact me ingame to discuss business details.

(this is a joke for your entertainement purposes only, although we’d all love 50g, we are not delusional. No seriously, hire us.)

I agree with OP. Server transfers has never been a problem. Most hardcore WvW players agree on this.

Ah yes, the ol’ hardcore player in bandwagoner’s clothing ruse!

Lol AoN has always transferred to losing servers to help them out. We enjoy being the underdogs. Please think before you write.

I agree with OP. Server transfers has never been a problem. Most hardcore WvW players agree on this. Most of the people who complain about it are casual players.

The server balance has been getting better and better… why fix something that’s not broken? and ruin it in the proccess?

we can’t transfer there; the server is full

And I’m in Montreal.. is it okay? He just logged in a couple of times to try out my account. Is it okay? the account is NOT shared, he simply logged in a few times, and I’m afraid I’ll get banned.

Help?

Please no dragons in WvW. Please no world bosses in WvW. Nobody in the WvW community wants that. That line story event sounds kind of shady. “Escort mob X to position Y” type of thing is always a failure, because it will just turn into a PVE farmfest. It’s always easier to just SvE (Server vs Environment) than to actually fight the opposing faction, and remember, people choose the fastest possible route to their gear. If that route excludes killing players, then they won’t attack each other.

I have 50K kills and over 10K badges. Nobody I’ve ever met wants more PVE in WvW.

AoN had fun fighting the TL zerg tonight you guys are very organized, and make it hard for us. We had 7 tonight… next time we will have more. Watch out.

Mif.3471:

I thought I had seen every stupidity imaginable in WvW until I saw AoN, a guild from FA, in CD’s borderlands.

They had 15+ players that didn’t cap or own a single thing on the map, and just zerged to anything with swords. In effect they did nothing but defend CD’s towers and keeps for hours on end.

HAHA! we farmed both CD and IoJ so hard… it was so fun, thanks for all the loot and fun. We enjoy making people grief, but please do have your facts straight.. there was 7 of us repeatedly wiping 25+ of you. We don’t care about CD, nor do we care about FA, nor do we care about IoJ. We just kill stuff.

(the below post has nothing more than bragging value, but can also be interpreted as a lack of long-term goal for hardcore WvWers)..

38K kills; I’ve had way more than 8K… I’ve just bought 2 sets of Invader’s armor already and frankly, the stats are not that good… this is my bank character btw.

Hello everyone,

I have over 8,000 badges of honor and it’s taking a lot of space…

What’s the future for Badges of Honor? should I have save them up? Ascended gear maybe? ANY new content for them? Details would be much appreciated.. or else I’ll start deleting my stacks of 250s.

What does changing servers have to do with skill?

Nothing, I find it comical one of the “skilled” guilds on Maguuma is only a transfer (who will probably leave IF you start losing a lot), and coincidentally originally from Ehmry Bay.

Ehmry was way too horrible for us. Maguuma’s a better choice.

Guilds to watch out for:

AoN and OG on Maguuma
N/A on Crystal Desert (I have yet to find a challenging guild)
LzSG on Ehmry Bay

If you manage to kill any of these guilds with equal or similar numbers you have done a great job.

Funny thing about AoN, they constantly switch servers because they can’t stand losing. They began on Ehmry. I wouldn’t regard them as a challenge.

AoN switched servers constantly to the underdog server to lend them a hand. We switch off winning servers, not losing ones. We actually love being on the losing server, because it just means there’s more for us to kill. And oh boy have we killed.

This is a guild decision to 1) fight bigger zergs 2) find better challenge 3) help underdogs by giving them a slightly better chance.

We transferred off Ehmry because you guys kept your points low on purpose during the NSP/SF matchups to face them twice in a row, winning by lots and getting a lot of bangwagonners. Yes, you did win lots of numbers. AoN left because weren’t interested in zerging down underdog servers like the rest of you lots.

Now we fight again this matchup… and all the bandwagonners left. Where do you stand now? Oh wait.

Look at our history. We went left Ehmry because they were winning. We went the Eredon because they were losing. We then went on Darkhaven because they were losing. Now we’ve settled on Maguuma, because, guess what? They aren’t winning either. Thank you and good day, zergling.

Maguuma I’ve been there with my guild for a week and it’s been so great so far. Excellent server, completely WvW oriented.

11- I completely agree, although I don’t think it will change soon nor does it make me not want to play this game. This system doesn’t reward realmwide organized pushes like we had in other RvR games because even if you cap the entire WvW in one night with one huge push, it doesn’t really reward your server because of the scoring system. This scoring system rewards the server with the highest WvW population throughout the day. It leaves very little chance for underdogs to do anything to avoid losing, because although they may completely dominate during their organized push, that can’t possible play 24/7. For example, in Warhammer, even if Order was constantly winning, Destruction could organize a push night and capture the Order city because of their superior organization. In GW2, however, that’s not possible.
12- What’s wrong with downed?… this is the kind of stupidity that makes devs not want to read forum posts and take community feedback. Just because YOU don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s gamebreaking in any way. I actually enjoy it a lot, not over the rez system but I could not imagine this game without it. Nor is this issue fixable in the near future, so just live with it and use your feeble intellect to focus on more realist subjects of discussion.
13- All players are like NPCs you say? Oh. My. God. Obviously no player names = all players are like NPCs.. right? Although I’d equally like to see player names, this does not mean in any way they are like NPCs. On a sidenote.. please do bring back player names. I’d rather them rage at me than report me for botting. My account has been banned randomly for botting because enemies mass report me for botting after I kill them. This is just a theory, but that would explain why I get banned for botting when I have probably 10x less PVE kills than anyone next to me, and I have 23K WvW kills.
14- Thank god for free transfers. The WvW population has more or less stabilized, and some servers are almost perfect in terms of population. There are still issues, but this was the best decision for the long run. Just because you can’t see the bigger picture doesn’t mean it’s bad. Free transfers did its job, and now the devs are phasing it out. It DID work, whether you can see it or not.
