I hope you’re not mocking my desperate attempt to get any dev attention at all.
also lol at “only took cookies”; yeah that and about 25 threads since January and 80 pages of posts.
Just because you’re wining by a huge margin in last tier doesn’t mean you will faceroll the tier above too. That I promise you and I speak from experience.
Yeah because Devona and Kaineng totally didn’t smash t7 with over 500k victories! Oh.. wait..
Nah, it will look like Kaineng did on their move up. Doible teamed at reset and be in last, then slowly move up to first by Monday, then destroy the competition for the remainder of the week.
FC fields one 30-60 man Zerg, on prime time reset might I expect one 60-70 man Zerg. Due to the matchup change I expect 20% increase in population overall. I expect at least 1 queue and probably 2.
We will likely field 2 zergs of over 40 people in EB and our BL, in addition to around 100 people spread out between 4 maps. These are all minimum estimations.
For the first time ever I’ll be rooting for SF
Seriously though guys, you won’t need to complain about how ANet tipped the matches. I promise you it will be fair.
I am worried that if they actually fix the problem in T8 we will not have anything else to complain about so we will start bickering at each other.
LOL I know right what do I do with my life on the gw2 forums if I can’t do something that catches attention for t8???
After personally starting half a dozen threads and about 30 posts about this issue I can’t believe they’re finally trying to solve it.
Adding on to what sniffy said, SS would like 2v2 with any contenders
I did some WvW on my warrior this morning and came across an SS ranger in FC BL at half health and he stomped me anyway. Props to whoever that was. Bring up the ranger name (and teach me your ways so I can WvW on my ranger for once).
wow, I’ll have to give a Gratz to rhulian. Usually we consider him a bit worse in pvp than the the rest (all 2) of us, especially on his ranger.
he is pretty kitten good though, still
I know its not the best option, but maybe they should consider letting the bottom 3 servers, population wise, merge into the rest? Because even if they reset the ratings, in 2 months, ET and FC are going to be the exact same rating drain they are now.
I know you’re well intentioned but you’re also wrong. Following the recent free transfer phase the FC and ET WvW populations jumped and will EASILY compete with, if not beat, tier 7.
I don’t want to say t9 doesn’t have a problem but it has been repeatedly shown that the all other servers are significantly better than the 2 bottom servers. They get
new matchups every month or so, yet SF has been here for almost 4 months and will likely stay another.
If only they allowed transfers, then the people that hate it badly enough to post ad nauseum could instead click a single button and free from their torment forever. I’ll get to work on making a thread about adding transfers to the game.
FYI, I was on Borlis pass for a month and continually posted on this issue (including sending the cookies etc)
We knew that Habib told us there was a meeting about the tier 8 matchup and ranking problems. Well, since he stepped down we no longer know for sure that this issue is being looked into. I think we’d like a confirmation from our new WvW director (I like you more than Habib already btw) that the tier 8 ranking problem is being looked into AND will be resolved soon. We’d definitely like an ETA on when a fix will be pushed out or what ANet is planning to do.
Please don’t pull a Habib on us and force me to send more cookies! (I might just send even more if you pull through for us)
All we need to do to beat SF is get more numbers! Then if we can night
cap all day and keep stuff during the day with equal numbers we can finally win… it’s so simple.
No point in resetting their rating. If they keep losing, their rating should keep dropping. Once they start winning, their rating will go up quite fast.
Remember: WvW is not a mandatory part of the game.
what is this I don’t even
…
what
seriously though, SF is winning by more than any other matchup currently and is losing 30ish points this week. inform yourself before posting pl0x
Yeah so they’ll respond that they are thinking about it if you send them cookies. Big deal, the wubwub director isn’t even the same person now. I bet you their supposed solution was to open up free transfers for the week.
^What he said sums up 99% of the FC pop that bothered to come to WvW after their transfer.
also @guy above me
Were losing because of coverage and simply too many people to deal with. You’ve probably noticed by now you wipe against FC zergs of equal size every single time and often wipe to FC zergs of less numbers, or at least half a tough time with them.
NA primetime starts at 2PM Eastern?
Post a screenshot of tier 8 at the same time of the day just for fun.
Look, I understand the point you are trying to make. I do not have any screenshots to prove mine right now. In fact I’ve never taken any screenshots of my battles but I may start.
The best way we would have to verify that though would be that SF gets out of tier 8. Don’t lose too much rankings and you may just do that soon.
sorry for double post, but he did. He said that he literally went from HOD to SF within a couple hours and posted the differences. But like he said, PLEASE search out the biggest zerg or fight at the most prime time and get a screen shot to post here. Because I know it will be underwhelming and I bet you know it too.
Well, as all these thousands of threads say, I will be quaking in my boots in 2016. For all those numbers (contained in carefully chosen screenshots plus the highly creditable view from one person who has no biases at all) math still > T8 – Which I believe is the topic of this thread. Until then please enjoy pressing 1 for 6 hours daily. Oh, there’s a reason T7 posts small group shots – 99.9% of the posts involve paxa.
I fought NSP while in BP in t6 and I fought SF before and after that. It’s not even close. Seriously, not even in the general vicinity of being inside the ballpark close. SF will rip t7 a new one prime time and probably have everything overnight too because I know how small t7 night crews are, even compared to SF.
Yeah I’d rather have original FCers being taught by a more skilled guild that doesn’t stay than be carried to winning by already organized guilds like Agg.
Whatever you say… Don’t just step out of the fight again, waiting for SF to leave, ok?

I think what needs to be encouraged are methods of breaking up the zergs. Currently the wvw system greatly benefits running in massive zergs.
1. Keeps aren’t strong enough. The massive zergs can take down fully upgraded keeps within minutes. By the time you hear of the attack its already too late. They need to be beefed up considerably, doors/walls/npc guards. The ease at which a large zerg can stroll through and take everything easily contributes to said zerg forming.
2. Siege weaponry needs to hit harder. You shouldn’t be walking away from a ballista/trebuchet/catapult hit. They should make large zergs extremely wary & not trivial. Large zerg rolls up to keep and gets hit with ballista… boom 10 people insta dead.
3. Remove the cap on AOE
4. If no defenders are present the npc guards should take control of whatever seige gear is currently available not stand there useless as most npc guards currently are absolutely useless.
5. Lastly, if people want small group pvp go join spvp. This isn’t daoc. We don’t need elitist 8 man’s in WVW.
What you are suggesting would make it near impossible to take any keep or tower in my tier.
Most Keeps/towers are defended or have a scout there to watch. Rarely cakittenerg get through outer and inner gates before defenders show up to stop them.
Some of you people need to realize that your tier is not the only one in the game. Some of us are very organized and are able to respond in order to defend. Some of the suggestion you come up with would make it impossible for the organized tiers to be able to take any keeps/towers after reset night when everything has been fully upgraded.
Well since SF hasn’t had a worthy opponent in over 2.5 months don’t think any one here will take anything you say seriously. Seeing Agg’s tactics and skill I really find it hard to believe that VK came from a top tier server, but then again maybe coming down here was supposed to be a ego boost for you guys. Not to sure why any one from a T2 server would come and vacation on T8 for a week but it was nice of you guys to take 30+ free transfers from the lowest populated server for whatever the reason (sure they will be thanking you at the end of this upcoming week)
Glad that Agg is staying for the long run, good to have decent armies to fight.
lawl… I stated the part about the trasnfers before reading this post… Glad to see I’m not the only one who think they shouldn’t have done that as this pretty much hurt FC more than actually helped.
Tell yourself that as a FC Zerg half your size wipes you without getting a single person downed.
Quote from t2 transfers to FC: “Sorrows has more people than Kaineng in prime time”.
Its true too, as evident by EVERY. SINGLE. TRANSFER. who has come here this last week. Coming from t5, I’ve seen zergs fielded by SF 2x the size of the biggest Zerg EVER fielded by ehmry bay.
Am I missing something on FC? Why are SF and ET hitting us at the same time and simultaneously avoiding each other Just a coincidence I guess but you guys really shouldn’t team up on the lowest rated server.
