The state of wvw in t2

You all act like you’ve never seen a bandwagon before. At least this one will accomplish what others never have or bothered trying to do.

YB will go to T1. That much is basically known.

Once in T1 YB will certainly go full tryhard mode to steal glicko. Right now I feel like a lot of the WvW vets are on casual mode until there’s more to do. Whether or not there will be a 2v1 in T1 is unknown (but expected) and I think YB will hold their own. We’ve been through the same garbage in T2 when the others were attempting to push us out of the tier. We’ll be fine and ready to fight. I don’t think it’s the intention of YB to place 1st in T1, much less remain there permanently.

As for whoever drops it’s likely they’ll be around the same level. It’s up to FA and SoS to decide if they want to come out and fight a new server (and maybe regain glicko) or continue to roll over and sink to T3, where the rotation will screw over where the GvGs went.

As for the “ripple” in the tiers, that’s on the players that think it’s a good idea to move down a single notch and think “good enough!” without thinking about future developments. I don’t think the GvG guilds that ran away put any thought into where they moved. Honestly, they should have moved even lower. As I said in the early days, I don’t know why they don’t just move to T8 where it’s free of PPT and maps are always open. We only see this now after how many years?! It only took new coding to make something happen…

In the end, I don’t really care because if everyone wants to keep kittening away gems every month to move to the new flavor of the week tier they think is safe, go for it. Don’t blame a few for the actions of many. You all screwed up.

Just leave T2, let it rot and let YB PvD and 50 v 5 all they like.

Everyone I know that has left so far hasn’t looked back

And when either FA or SoS drops into T3, getting replaced by another VERY HIGH server that can’t compete with YB, you’ll tell them to transfer too?

Once a T3 server jumps up into T2 and finds out how bad the game play is you’ll see the entire T3 players change how they play just so they DON’T go up into T2.

Exactly how T4 and below felt about going up when SoS and FA kept killing off T3. And that wasn’t for one or two months…. But you know, let’s all look the other way.

No sympathy, organized double team to crush their precious PPT for weeks at a time until they wear down, SBI and Maguuma did it to DB months ago to straighten out T3, T3 is pretty kitten fun now I gotta admit, it will work against Yaks, it doesnt matter how blobby they are kill their rating even it’s it’s wooden towers and supply camps. Send them the message that they are NOT going to Tier 1 and watch the kitten hit the fan.

I think it might be too late to get the people of YB and SoS out and excited about a double team of YB.

However:

let YB RNG into T1 (30 percent chance as of this post) and double team whoever comes down. People will naturally show up for a new matchup so you actually have population to work with. Half your job is done, you just gotta take advantage of it on reset night or you risk losing that population again.

You mean FA and SoS? They tried before with pitiful results.

Agreed that they can and SHOULD come out to fight whoever drops. That will help ensure server rotations and prevent further bleeding of guilds. I’m sure YB will destack themselves once the wall has a few bricks removed. Then everyone can cry about something else, like guild halls.

You didnt understand it just like lordkrall. If we pay Anet should let us transfer to any server we want. Even the ones they deem full by their arbitray ideas. I dont know any server which is even remotely full compared to a year or two ago.

I can see it now. All of the PPTers stacked on one server and constantly reaping the bonuses and extra chests while the other two servers are GvGing each other.

Are T1/T2 servers forever permalocked now?

in WvW

Posted by: Dhemize.8649

Dhemize.8649

The point I was trying to get across, was that even if it’s TC that goes to T2, SoS and FA will have as much a tough time, if not more, from a T1 battle hardened server (that will likely be stirred up a bit from being punted to T2).

As to those saying that JQ needs to be opened, anyone that is or has played in T1 knows the truth. JQ has won 85% of the matches dating back to at least Oct. of 2014 (and by a decent margin). They outnumber both servers in the majority of time zones, and will do and say anything to stay #1, including tag watching and spying/listening in on TS (it’s not merely accusations, it’s truth).

I honestly don’t get why anyone (aside from wanting to be with friends/family) would want to go there. Eventually, you’re going to push your competition away, leaving you with a stale piece of moldy cheese.

Yeah, we already know TC will beat up the other two in T2. You were both saying the same thing though.

There’s pin spies and trolls here too. At least there use to be before they realized their efforts were in vain. Have fun and I hope you guys on TC (or whoever switches) give T2 a wake up call to how bad their fighting skills have gotten.

All I gotta say about the people discussing YB/SOS/FA and the transfers… You got what you deserved, FA (: Glad you’re suffering now because I’ll never forget when IoJ was against you and you all spawn camped us every day for the entire week, fortified everything we had and when I tried to solo hold a camp (which I managed to do for 4 hours thanks to your roamers who can’t accomplish anything without a zerg) you eventually pulled the champion to wipe the NPC’s, capped the camp, then sat there upgrading it for the rest of the day so I couldn’t take it back. Literally the worst server I have ever faced. And when I was on YB it wasn’t any different. Roamers that can’t do squat without a group of 5 – 10 and would chase you ten miles if you managed to escape their initial dogpile. Feels really good to see FA finally getting the daylights punched out of them and I hope it continues until they completely deflate.

LMAO

You were probably dealing with the “core” before they bought out other guilds and servers. If you were to see FA for yourself today you would definitely agree that they are indeed deflated and broken. After a few narrow YB victories the momentum shifted. Then golem week happened and it has been implosion city.

There’s no FA implosion. FA and SoS are letting the “alliance” that YB purchased get rid of YB from T2. LOL.

Bear in mind, that when/if YB moves up, one of the T1 servers will move down, and even if it’s TC, both servers will have their hands full.

IF TC moves down – no it won’t have it’s hands full. I mean TC is close to BG and JQ and has overall lower amount of WvW players. The players on TC don’t blob like others, they like small focused groups or Guild groups and some of the guilds on TC are amazing in WvW . I mean we are usually outnumbered 3-4 to 1 and the blobs still run away. So, I think TC will smash the others and get bored. JQ and BG will continue their K-training and YB will be stomped to death. Since many of the newer YB guilds moved from JQ or moved their 2nd accounts to YB, YB will be at a HUGE disadvantage, since these players will come back to JQ in droves (if it is their 2nd account).

Dusty, I think you read that wrong.

You all sound like it’s the intention of YB to STAY in T1. Lol

It’s not a matter of “beating” whoever is in T1 because even if we place 3rd it’s likely we’ll be gaining rating to further destroy the wall. Honestly can’t wait since T1 will be the challenge T2 can’t provide.

List craft disciplines on char selection

It would be great if crafting disciplines for each character would be listed on the character selection screen. It’s better to have them at a glance rather than logging in trying to find a particular craft. It gets confusing trying to remember who has what.

As stated above, they mean something different for each server. It also matters on what is going on exactly as well and where you are. In edge of the mists, i tend to see the main tag being corresponding to what side they are on and any secondary tags being the side they are focusing.

Example:
FA = Green (atm)
Main tag = Green
Alt 1 = Red, focusing red side
Alt 2 = Blue, focusing blue side
other tags = randoms

Hey man. Do you think is it worth for me to craft Mawdrey?

Is it worth for me to craft it(spend about 100g)? Will i get my gold back?

And to get Star of Gratitude, do i need to wait for Wintersday events?

Thx!

Any ascended back piece will take a lot of your gold. At least crafting this one in particular will give you Mawdrey II so you will get some of your gold back, especially if you’re sitting on 5k dust.

Edit: You can toss if you don’t want to craft since there’s no other use for the dust.

For the star I hear it can still be completed if you kept the note from the orphan child to initiate the quest. Otherwise, I think you have to wait next year to receive another letter.

Multiple accounts and WvW

Posted by: Dhemize.8649

Dhemize.8649

I have 30 accounts spread across different servers, but I havent made any use of it yet.

So that’s $300 just sitting there doing nothing?

Sitting and doing nothing earns you money in GW2
Login once a day ~ 50g per month (40 laurels per month via daily => buy T6mats for laurels). That’s what I meant with it pays off for regularly gold buyers after 3 month. And 30 accounts looks like a quite extensive gem/gold buyer. I would not even have an idea what I should do with 1500g per month

Thank you for explaining; I see how that profits people with multiple accounts now. It is a rather.. Shrewd way of gold making.

Bonus: It’s even better when you have your accounts camped at JP magnificent chests, too. When you do your daily login you’ll farm a lot more gold just by pressing F.

As for the OP, this smells like a trap. lol We’re all good little boys and girls, right?

“If they violate again the accounts held by them will be terminated.”

I’m waiting for this sentence, too. It would be a nice little surprise for them to try and log in only to have their troll account banned, have them shrug, then go to their main account and find that one has been banned as well. Then the tears flow.

Though last time I asked about deciphering and having multiple accounts banned they seemed really hush hush, so not sure if that’s just a bluff or what.

They are already transferring away. It seems like people are slowly filtering into YB from DB from what I can tell.

I’ve seen two from [BLNT] on YB for example. Not sure if scouting or in the process of moving? Just glad I don’t have to deal with 10 thieves jumping me at spawn any more. Also seeing a lot more unfamiliar commander tags I assume are from DB doing guild raids and popping up during previously slow times, too.

Mag will just have to settle for beating up dead servers until people quit fairweathering. Or until they somehow come to T2…

He Who Shall Not Be Named is now as brazen as ever in his activities to ruin the WvW experience for every other player on TC. Today during a prolongued JQ seige of our EB keep, he was there throwing out trash seige (his beloved ballistas), wasting precious supply on repairing walls being trebbed, sitting on and not using defensive seige, etc.

I understand that you “take seriously” the banning of accounts – what about taking seriously the game experience of HUNDREDS of other players who are impacted by the malicious behavior of this person? This isn’t one person’s vendetta or a small group of people complaining about someone. This is an entire server’s consistent observation of the blatant and obvious troll behavior of this one person, and for some reason his “rights” trump ours?

What more evidence do you need? You have had a GM catch him in the act. You have at this point what must be thousands of reports of his behavior. His guild name refers to his trolling activities!

Please find a way to be more proactive about this issue!

Edit: Thanks Sinbold. Although I can’t see how it’s either of those things, as the person is well-known and is quite proud of what he does.

Are you stating that you have proof a GM has witnessed troll behavior from this player and refused to act? I would be interested to see evidence of this.

Pretty sure if he does have evidence of the GM and the troll in question it shouldn’t matter to anyone else on here as it would likely fall under “naming and shaming”. Otherwise it wouldn’t be considered proof.

It’s okay, you can still focus PPT more than both other servers. The difference in scores suggest you still have more coverage.

Using Arrow Carts to Destroy Inner Siege

Considering that defenders can also build ACs in such a way as to take out enemy catas and AC at that spot using the same fov settings, I’m not understanding the issue here.

Yeah, I didn’t have that thought in my mind when I made my previous post, but when you take that into consideration, it really comes down to a matter of "why didn’t you hit their siege with your siege as well.

Since it is equal on both sides, I feel you make a perfectly reasonable counter point here.

I think the issue is enemies building outside the gate/wall have a time advantage since this can occur when nobody is even aware the tower/keep siege is being destroyed by a single AC. The only way this would be fair is to literally post somebody to stand guard 24/7. Otherwise the damage would be done before you even arrive to counter siege the enemy AC, assuming they didn’t first focus down any AC in range to counter them.

We already do that. They are scouts. You should already have siege built in your keep. The scout s should easily be on siege raining down on the enemy before they even get siege up. In my opinion, if you want to keep it, you would have it scouted. If an enemy has players at your own towers, before you do, as I see it, you either do not feel it is that important in the first place, or you made a bad strategic move for the map as a whole.

So you’re saying you literally have 1 or 2 people sitting on ACs within cover range of all siege within every tower/keep on every map at all times?

Also noting in bold that you assume one server is not massively outnumbering the other. Just to clarify, it’s bad strategy and not manpower at fault, correct?

No. I am not saying they are sitting on ACs, that wouldn’t be very help full as a scout. The are generally looking scouting the horizon for incoming enemies, so they know which AC to occupy for the best defense.

Read you previous quote again. Either you back peddled or you’re not clearly conveying what you mean. Either they are running around scouting or they are already prepared in the keep/tower.

I never made any assumptions or population. A properly sieged and scouted tower can easily defend a much larger force, at least in my experience.

Obviously, but not every enemy on map will be accounted for nor will every nook and cranny be observed by defenders 24/7.

As well, if your scouting a way pointed keep, if you see the enemy before they actually contest it, you can get help ported in before the fight even starts.

Building an AC to destroy inner siege does not contest it, allowing all siege to be destroyed. So again, unless you have somebody standing on the wall of each side of every keep/tower, this comment is pointless.

Your comment about population is irrelevant. If you want to cry about population, please go do so on one of those threads please. This is a thread about ACs, their ability to reach inner siege, and FoV, and we would appreciate staying on that topic.

Population is needed to man every wall of every keep/tower for you argument to be valid. Otherwise the enemy gets free reign during a dead TZ over what seige is destroyed before you arrive to defend. If you don’t understand this you may as well abandon the conversation.

To answer your direct question, yes, I am basically telling you that. If your have a scout, and they do their job and scout the enemy. There should be no problem at all taking out their siege first in my opinion. ….. But as long as they can reach each other, on equal footing, as they do now, I do not see any justification for a complaint.

Enemies will hold the time advantage because they freely choose what to attack. You can scout and run ahead of them to jump in a tower, but if they turn and go for another your effort is moot. The point of defense is to give an advantage to the often smaller group running inside. If the attackers hold all the power in both attack and defense (being able to take down all inner seige) then that negates having defense at all.

Yes, both ACs are able to attack each other, but you cannot attack an enemy AC that has yet to be built and you can’t defend with nobody there. Again, time advantage. They pop in, build one AC, destroy everything, run away. This only takes about two people to accomplish.

You can ask somebody on your server who actually plays WvW to explain any further details.

I think it’s funny there’s other sections besides WvW matchup threads within his site, as if anyone visited those.

As for the WvW threads, It’s like an episode of Hoarders where it started off with good intentions and then over time became cluttered with trolls to the point where the owner gave up. Now everyone who ventures within sloshes through heaps of troll posts that nobody has the will nor energy to clean. lol

I guess now this is the part in the episode where the moderators (specialists) come in to get to the psychological root of the problem and are assisted with family members and dump trucks.

I can’t wait for the part where they remove a slimy thread post and a nest of spiders scurry out before getting vacuumed up by the hazmat team. It’s so disgusting to watch but I can’t help but watch more.

It’s a tall order, but more power to whoever wants to keep that place clean.

I had my favourite experience in GW2 so far a couple days ago. I’m on Fort Aspenwood (We’re currently matched with Sea of Sorrows & Yak’s Bend) and we managed to get into a two-and-a-half hour long battle for the Yak’s Bend Borderlands Garrison. We have a couple of chinese guilds on our server that are fantastic at getting into and winning huge zerg v zerg fights. One of them was causing havoc in YBBL by holding Hills and upgrading it. They’d been doing it for a good six hours and even had a waypoint up. Our little group decided that we’d go help them after helping defend our keep in EB from a Yak’s Bend blob, so while the chinese guild was putting up orange swords by one entrance to the YB Garri, our group went around and took down a different gate. After that, we portalbombed inner garri, but YB was ready for us. For the next two hours we caused YBBL to have a queue because it was just a massive brawl on the inside of the garrison. I’m talking 60+ of each server fighting inside that garrison. We tried and failed a good 7-8 different strategies to get kitten in the inner wall, but YB was very good at taking our siege down. Finally, somehow, we managed to get the inner north gate down, slaughtered the remaining Yak’s Bend, and took the keep. It was definitely the most epic battle I’ve ever been a part of.

Because both of our servers were preoccupied with that battle, we ended up letting Sea of Sorrows capture almost all of EB, but it was totally worth it to lose the PPT game for a few hours just to say we won. :P

I was there.

The way you finally got inner garrison down was from the 5 trebs built outside of NE tower just within reach to hit the wall. Couldn’t reach them by treb and couldn’t reach by foot because they were protected by a sea of Chinese.

It was fun and very profitable though. Hitting the entire FA Chinese zerg with cows lead to a massive bag haul as they threw themselves at a wall of Yaks. lol It was a sad day when they finally built a bali I couldn’t hit. Then 30 guardians were on me.

Same weakness can be found in people who only fight when they have a larger amount of people.

Anyway, thanks for your view.

I understand that Sunny but if you base a guild off win/lose in WvW you’re going to disband a lot.

Do you think the ones who recently transferred to the US server are generally “good” and well known compared to what you fight over there? Just want to gauge if this is all there is to look forward to or if there’s a guild that will be a lot more experienced.

Also curious, do you guys like omega golems? lol I hardly see any other form of siege from the few hundred Chinese here and want to know if you guys just don’t care since they’re use to blob vs blob anyway.

Yeah I’ve noticed they don’t like fighting alone. If you try to 1vs1 they will run away and try to find their zerg blob. They completely depend on their numbers and shy away from small scale fights.

Not sure if they’re just timid to fight alone or if they adopted this mindset from their current server. lol If you catch a small group 5vs5 and chase to fight they will run and look for a camp or tower to PvD instead. :/ It’s like they were given strict orders not to waste time fighting unless it’s a door for PPT.

If that’s all they do on your servers I’m not looking forward to them spilling off over here.

LMAO Sunny, you described what is going on with my server almost perfectly. A certain enemy server has gathered a couple hundred Chinese to PPT for them off hours and they use the same 80+ blob tactic. We have much smaller numbers but the lag created in the fight makes it almost impossible to use any skills so the 80+ blob wins by default. The only real advantage is playing defense and farming their waves of assaults until they finally win with numbers.

And having a similar Chinese blob on our side to counter them would only lag even more. Sorry, but smashing 1111 isn’t why I play. I would prefer all blobs go elsewhere.

It is sad to see an already wounded game mode continue to be devastated by such things. My hope is that they move soon after becoming bored of PvD but from what you describe it sounds like they don’t mind at all and want to add to the PvD mindset of their current server.

Hardcore PPT all day but, likewise, our servers aren’t going anywhere either.

I hunt down specific sides and camp them so they can’t roll 80’s in two days playing EotM.

Then I lol when they 1v9 me and lose. G’day!

seeing as how “from all I know” you have to BUY a second account from a monetary standpoint banning the offending account should be enough. Either way the cost of the account and the time spent goes down the drain. If they want to get ANOTHER troll account. Well then they payed MORE money to have the right to get suspended when they kitten up again.

That is however just my opinion on it.

Don’t know about this since it takes time for a troll to be caught red handed by a GM, at which point they may be “suspended” instead of perma banned. Then they’ll likely hop onto a second troll account and continue until the original troll account is able to jump back on. A lot of people don’t care about $20 (two accounts from the sale), especially when it’s put to “good use” by trolling for months on end.

What happened to Fort Aspenwood queue time?

Oh come on its not that bad,only thing bad is what the new fa recruits drop as loot.
Before the chinese flooded fa my only 2 precursor drops were from fa,now all i am getting is spikes and various other junk loot.
Dat fa loot value drop is killing me.

I know what you mean. I only got spark from FA on top of a bunch of ascended gear but a lot of these omniblobs only give junk loot nowadays. I think that’s the worst part of it all; wiping a zerg and earning a few copper total.

I hope their queues stay this way 24/7.

Raptor, you should read FA’s website.

I can’t believe some don’t know of why this happened yet. BuyWars2 began quite a while ago.

This again?

Thieves are weak 1v1 except vs shatter mesmers. Even then a dble ranged shatter mesmer can win if he’s not taken by surprise
