it seems to me to many pvp ppl are trying to turn the huge army v army(yes army’s have siege as part of there weapons of choice) fights that is the very description of wvw into 1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1..

Wake up this a game, and should be fun. Gw2 has way too many effects, pets, clones, teleports etc, anything but small scale fights is TERRIBLE, just pure aoe spam. Lol just go on youtube and watch some zerg vs zerg fights (even from “organized” guilds)…most of the times they don’t even call a target or even target someone…they just spam aoe. Add the huge lag and what you get is just a terrible gaming experience. I cannot believe there are players who like this…most of them are just bad so they need to hide behind the zerg cos they are too afraid to die. They (the devs…) should encourage small scale fights cos they are much more fun and virtually without lag.
Also this game is basically already a 1v1v1v1v1….. expecially zerg fights, what all the players do is spam aoe dmg, spam boons, spam aoe heals, spam aoe pulls, spam everything. Lol there are often so many red names around you can’t even see the enemy players.

Mooodster.3470:

personally hate pvp and would stop playing wvw if they changed it to be just like pvp

Pve is that way —-—->
Wvw IS pvp, or at least should be pvp. This game mode has a lot of potential and the devs should realize that.
Oh btw zerg fights are not even pve. I mean in dungeons you have to use teamplay and often dodge at the right time etc, it’s not a button smashing at all. So my logical deduction is you don’t even like pve…

I don’t know man, I hear there is a button shaped like a castle with “WvW” tool tip on it.

THEN, there is this KILLJOY button shaped like crossing swords, AND IT HAS PVP AS ITS TOOLTIP!

DOES THIS MEAN WVW IS NOT PVP? OH NOES!!!!!

As a side note, the objective of WvW is to gather points, not to engage in an honorable duel as the zerg stopped the fight and watch you in awe.

If you want to be praised for skill, go to PvP instead? It even has the “pvp” tag right there

As much as you or anyone else doesn’t want to accept that wvw is pvp, it is. pvp stands for player vs player. That is what wvw is. Players HAVE to fight each other to control most of the map. Though it is primarily about large group pvp it is still pvp. It’s labeled world vs world because it is server vs server. Oh guess what servers have on them to fight each other? Oh that’s right other players and that’s what you primarily fight. Both sPVP and WvW are pvp. Everyone can argue all they want about what they think about wvw or spvp, but at the end of the day they are both pvp.

Many of those that support downed state(not all of you) fail to realize that most who don’t like it aren’t complaining about it being too hard. They aren’t happy with how it annoys and irritates them. I myself would personally find the game more fun without it. I’ll put up with it, but I rather not have it in the game or at least not in wvw.

I don’t think the devs intended it as a crutch for bad players either. They certainly didn’t balance the game with downed state in mind either. Downed state was something that they needed because there weren’t dedicated healers or aggro control and real tanks. A side effect is that you have to deal with it in wvw and spvp. They should learn from GW1 and have it function differently in wvw, spvp, and pve. Whether it be removed or changed.

To those who say it’s to help with burst. What’d you think was going to happen when a glass cannon chose to melt your class cannon. You should be dead, simple as that. Every build has a weakness that can be exploited. Being glassy is your weakness that you chose when you built that way. Just like lack of damage is what you have when you build tanky. You give up things no matter what build you are running. Every class also has its inherent advantages and disadvantages. This is after all what defines classes.

On the subject of 1v3 or 1v2 or whatever. Should the solo person be able to win? Assuming equal skill no. It does however, give a biased advantage to the larger force. A lot of soloers are like me and would be happy to kill one maybe two of them, and all three if they are terrible. Downed state prevents this from being possible most of the time. If players are epically bad yeah that soloer could do well, but downed state doesn’t allow them to kill any competent players in said situation.

Now a well played class that is properly set up or equipped with what they need to down someone in the situation can do it. However, that’s assuming a generalizing. When in fact most classes/builds are set up like that. This lack of being able to do something significant in that situation because of a mechanic actually makes the game less fun and discourages those kinds of fights. This is the same for any outnumbered fight. What this then causes is more staring contests and more people going hmm just me and three of them. Nope. I get nothing out of that. Let’s continue running across the map not having fun.

Wouldn’t you rather have more outnumbered fights and better more fun fights?

Come on HoD don’t make me want to move servers again. Come out and fight or at least do so next week.

I hope to see more of my server out. Especially later NA prime time to late night. The showing has just been terrible. Pretty easy for FC and ET to take stuff at this time if we don’t fight back. FC may actually take first and ET second this week because of the lack of participation from HoD.

Detharos.3157:

From a tier 8 player:

http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#NA

Look at our score distribution. Now look at your tier’s score distribution. Back to ours. Now back to yours.

Sadly, it isn’t as close a match as ours. BUT, if you started fighting with everything you’ve got like we do in tier 8 instead of QQing on forums about guild transfers and timezone coverage, it could be like ours.

Walk into our Eternal Battlegrounds. SM flips every hour or so. People are able to get their map completion with the occasional keep attacks occurring every week, instead of moaning on the forums about massive imbalance. Now walk into your tier’s Eternal Battlegrounds. You just lost your keep. Now back to ours. A parade of baby quaggans is marching to every spawn point in the map while HoD guilds host a massive costume brawl party near Veloka.

Enter our borderlands. Lukian’s playing music on FC teamspeak while Saul screams like a madman about *CENSORED*ing a dolyak. Now to your server teamspeak. Someone just told you to “Shut the Kitten Up” at the slight suggestion of playing music, because WvW in high tiers is srs business, with no room for humour.

You try to launch a naked dancer roamer group near Sunnyhill, and immediately run into a massive zerg enforcing an anti-nudity law no matter what time it is. Meanwhile tier 8, the tier you wish yours could look like enjoys competitive fights and a friendly forum environment.

Anything’s possible when you’re in tier 8. You should transfer to Ferguson’s Crossing instead!

I’M ON A DOLYAK.

While I enjoy much of my time on HoD everyone has a different idea of fun. Everyone doesn’t have lots of time to waste of pointless things. They may find these “parades” or costume brawls annoying. I know I would if I could only play for a little bit on certain days and that’s all they were doing. Voice chats have a reason for their rules and guide lines. I think a lot of people would find someone playing music in voice chat very annoying, irritating, and ruin their fun their trying to have. People in VoiP have every right to tell you to shut up or shut music off if they don’t want to hear it. If you all want to act that way in a channel with only the few people who want to hear it go for it.

Both higher and lower tiers do stuff like this. Don’t try to say only one does it. I’ve seen higher tiers act too serious and lower tiers act too serious. I’ve also seen both act like children. I’ve seen both try to have fun in different ways. Much of the time it’s at the expense of others.

There is nothing wrong with fun, but when it takes away from others experience is when it is bad. You are doing something far worse than being to serious.

However, any idea that any tier simply has better players because of the tier that they are in is a joke. This could arguably be the case for maybe 1/3 of the servers at best. They may have a higher percentage of good players on their server. I’ve seen solo players make every single player in a large wvw guild look like a joke. I’ve seen players in tier 8 make most tier 1-3 players look pathetic. Do higher tier servers have more wvw players and more good ones? Yes, but this is only because higher tier servers crap out players onto the wvw maps. Your bound to have more good players as well as more horrible players.

Zombie Land [WvW] just DID WORK! Claimed everything in EB and our GoM BL, as well as a chunk of the other two Borderlands.

Haters gonna hate.

You mean threw bodies and money at everything with minimal resistance? I’m sure NSP DR and part of GoM would agree with me on that.

A “Commander” strategist will have followers until he fails for the first time.
A “Commander” leader will have followers through the hell and back.

The requeriments to be a Commander is before anything else be a leader, strategist is a trait you can include in your council.

The more I read your posts, the more I think you have very little WvW experience.

Commanders don’t have councils and advisers, they have to be able to function solo: you get on a map, assess the situation and if a commander is needed, you toggle your tag, pull ppl to you and start getting stuff done.

The dynamic you describe is certainly possible in WvW… but it’s something you won’t encounter during the majority of a match.

No that’s what differs a effective W3 commander from a random PVE commander.
If you don’t have ppl to take advice from you only have one point of view while this point hold your own pride.

But i don’t think you actually got to play with a strong W3 guild neither with a good commander.

GoM in the early days had both, so i know what i’m saying.

PS: if a commander enters the W3 alone without support of his own crew/party he will fail when faced against any organized force.

In fact A competent commander have knowledge of all the parties in the map.
And give order like “party X and Y attack camp Z while we hold the enemy here”

If you enter a map and don’t know who are in your side in the map, don’t have scouts and don’t know what exactly the enemy is doing you aren’t a effective commander.

You are taking actions based on swords in the map and probably giving order like “group on me so we will zerg rush X place”

I agree about how you feel about zombieland. I don’t really have anything against most of their members. It’s their leader or leaders and anyone who publicly backs up the way he acts and his poor decisions. I do however, greatly disagree with your idea of a good commander. Technically all the good aspects of a good commander also indicate a good leader. A leader is not simply someone who can get people to do what he wants. Even then they follow them for many different reasons.

A good commander has ability to operate well independently and with others. Most of the time they have to make decisions on their own. If you can’t make decisions on your own you shouldn’t be leading. All advisers and councils do is feed the leader information anyways. You still make a decision based on the information you have. It’s just coming from those people. If you simply do what someone else advises you, you are a fool.

Yes others can offer good advice or different points of view. However, to say you NEED someone to advise you is foolish. It shows you are a bad leader that ALWAYS needs someone to tell you what to do. It also shows your inability to make a decision yourself. A group of people advising you can make you stronger, do nothing, or make you weaker.

I highly doubt many commanders have a panel of advisers. Maybe a person here or there that suggests things, but that’s about it. They simply don’t have time for it either. In other aspects of the game sure it can make perfect sense.

Was some awesome fighting tonight. It was great to command in EB for HoD. My server fought well. FC and ET thanks for the fights. It was quite fun. Especially when we were trying to hold Anz and both your zergs were there. See you all around keep up the great fighting.

Ahh all the comments complaining about the confusion nerf. For all the times you told others to l2play. Guess what, l2play. Kthxbi

Wow. I didn’t realize that all the mesmers who were against the “confusion nerf” were also guilty of taunting others with “l2play” comments. Perhaps it was just some of them?

I think a lot of the anxiety that you are reading is derived from players who are frustrated by the prospect of having to grinding new gear… not so much from having to change traits or playstyle. Not wanting to grind-farm is not really a “l2play” issue.

Reread my post. I specifically said for all the times mesmers said l2play to others. I didn’t blanket all mesmers. That condition has to be met for what I said to apply. Either way getting new gear takes very little time. If people have to roll a different class that just means they are a one trick pony. I was not referring to all mesmers in my post.

sazaw.1347:

C’mon guys I’m sure Anet does not nerf only because of forum whiners. They must have test out before the change.

Exactly. Don’t assume anet bends to their will. If the did many other things would have changed as well. Lots of talk about it throws up a red flag for them to look into it. So they did and decided it needed a nerf.

Ahh all the comments complaining about the confusion nerf. For all the times you told others to l2play. Guess what, l2play. Kthxbi

It disorganizes group pushes confusing players, serving as a detriment to organized pushes. The point of a commander tag is to lead players for group pushes, and there’s no reason to follow another commander with a tag on.

Not only that, where does it say he has the right to grief 40 people? If we are gonna do the politically correct BS where everyone has the same rights, the needs of 40 outweigh the needs of 1 tool. Ok seriously, no more posts :P

Maybe from his point of view you were the one “griefing” and being a detriment for others. Ever thought of that? You are still not answering the question.

What makes you think you have the right to tell another player to turn off his tag?

Every commander has a right to ask or tell them. It however should not be expected that they do or that they will bend to your will.

Not really, but good try. The only thing another commander has the right to do it to try and work together with whoever is on the field. This is a game, not real battle, no one really cares what you or anyone expectations are.

So by your logic no one has a right to speak or voice their opinion. Yes a commander does in fact a right to say what he wants to another commander. What you say will affect their response or others response. By saying what you said you contradict your next statement that says to work together. That requires conversation, which you stated in your first sentence can’t occur, because they apparently don’t have a right to ask or tell them to turn it off. This could be interpreted as don’t speak to the other commander. As I said it shouldn’t be expected that he will do so. He should expect that the other commander to make some sort of effort to communicate or work together. However, he has every right to ask or tell him to turn it off. Asking being the better way to go about it and telling being the less productive way. If someone tells me to turn off my tag I wont. If someone asks me to and it makes sense then I will. If they want me to work with them I will. If I think what they are doing is completely wrong I will tell them so and take a stand. There is nothing wrong with that. No commander should ever completely ignore others. He can, but it’s a horrible choice.

While it isn’t a real battle plenty of people care who others are and what their expectations are. Plenty of people care about what commander is doing what and use that to decide who they want to play with and follow. Commanders and other players also base tactical decisions on what they would expect out of those playing with them. People often times care about those they play with as well. They often want to play with others, because they are friends or like their play style or decisions.

A commander who forgets to realize that he is working with other players is a horrible commander. If people expect good things from you. They will follow you. If you care for other players they are much more likely to want to play with you or follow you. To ignore the thoughts, feelings, and expectations of others is foolish.

So…if most were in VoIP and being directed to push. Were they not the ones who failedor you. If you need an icon and for it to be the only icon to lead your directions were poor. Ifyou are rreferring to those not in VoIP that’s not his fault. Sorry but not all wvw players want to be in your VoIP or follow you.

If your group can’t kill a single person who has to stand completely visible in a small circle to contest it, you really don’t deserve that camp/tower/keep/etc.

Oh pizza! i love pizza. Fyi its real fun fighting you guys outside Sunnyhill right now. I’m having a blast

So are we, so are we. It’s a little frustrating, but fun. xD Just wish I had more of my guildies on, rather than some of the assorted HoD people online right now. We’d definitely be giving you a tough time then.

So…should I log back on. I’m thinking of playing some more. Hmm.

naphack.9346:

funny thing, NSP and HoD are already complaining after half a week, when ET and FC sat through these zergballs for 3 whole months.
Show some backbone, guys, you are friggin T7 and get stomped by a little server which belongs in t8, cause it gets crushed in higher tiers, right?, right?

People aren’t finding it fun so they voice there opinions. Is there a problem with people voicing their opinions? I bet FC and ET players were voicing their opinions on fighting SF pretty early too. It’s not our fault that FC and ET had to put up with SF for so long. Every server will get crushed in a higher tier it’s just depends on which tier they have to be in to get smashed. With the exception of the T1 servers of course and maybe one or two T2 servers. I get that SF is all excited about being out of T8 and that they are doing so well. After enough we are big and bad and do so well talk it gets old. Not matter who it’s coming from.

When SF came up I had no idea what they were like. One could only go off of what others say. From the first few hours of reset based on what I heard I thought cool this will be a good fight. However, now it’s just like well I’ll go out and see how it is and after awhile it gets lame. That being said I do enjoy fighting the SF on a different map where there aren’t tons of people until the zerg gets called in.

Finally ran into some good players on HoD BL today from SF. Though I still see more good players from NSP. Was hard to find any of you being that there were SF zergs everywhere. Wasn’t having as much fun by the end of the night with SF numbers, but oh well. If this is how it is everyday as FC and ET say, please move along SF. Go to tier 6. Nothing against the players, but your numbers and zerging just take away the fun for me. If we were more even numbers wise I wouldn’t mind it as much. I still want GoM back or if ET or FC want to beat them out that’s cool too. Hope to have some more good fights this week if I can find some. KING guild I ran into a few of your players who were fun to fight and put up a good fight. NSP I didn’t see you much yesterday or today. I miss you. SF is trying to drive a wedge between us. I want some good NSP fights too.

lol i remember GoM saying how you guys outnumbered them all the time with your zergs… have the tables turned? Or perspectives skewed… who knows

Meh we outnumbered them for most of the week just recently and the last couple of weeks seemed like many of them just stopped showing up. There were several days where I would end up fighting NSP most of the time. When we did outnumber them we never came close to outnumbering them as much as SF outnumbers. However, much of the SF outnumbering us has to do with the coverage SF has. It is quite clear that SF has much better coverage later at night than we on HoD do. That’s the time where I really notice the huge difference in population at that time. I would say during NA primetime we are the closest in numbers. SF still out numbering us by a significant amount but nothing to extreme. Then later there’s a huge population difference. I can’t speak for during the day though as I don’t play much during that time.

Like I said nothing against SF players. Your WvW population is simply much larger than ours. If this is what your population usually is. I’ll see how the rest of the week plays out.

I missed out on most of the night tonight unfortunately. I had other things to deal with. I have yet to be impressed by SF. Haven’t run into any very good players. Though SF does seem to have the bodies to put out there. However, I think this weekends population is artificially high. There’s probably tons of people coming out of the woodwork on SF, FC, and ET. It may go on for the remainder of the week. I would like to see how things turn out during the week and a week or two down the road. Oh, can we have GoM back now? SF seems to be just as bad as NSP on the forums. Not all your players act that way, but you’ve certainly got plenty of bad apples. Hope to fight you some more tomorrow SF.

Golly gee we sure will work harder to impress you all….I mean we could do something like exterminate you from EB altogether…oh wait…maybe we will get bored and bring 40 golems to your BL tonight and see what you got in your fridges….

“I have yet to be impressed by SF. Haven’t run into any very good players. "
You do realize that comes off as an insult, like if I were to say, I haven’t ran into any HoD that could pop a pimple on ET/FCs rear-end much less ours….yet you question in the same line of text our forum etiquette?

We are more than happy to be the “bad guys”, just don’t be so hypocritical….

I’m sorry you some how feel insulted. I’m not impressed by large numbers of golems or players. No one has stood out that I have run into as a very good player. That’s been my experience. You’ve got this idea that I’m insulting your server. There’s a difference between being insulting and stating ones observations and experience. You chose to perceive it as an insult, which it is not. Thus, your point of calling me hypocritical is not valid. You are implying a tone which does not exist in that text, because tone can’t exist in text. I prefer to tell the opposing server my actual experiences and observations. I see average competent players all the time and some that are a little better. Has anyone impressed me? No they have not. That doesn’t mean your server is inadequate. If someone wants to point me in the direction of good fights or point out which guilds or players are fun to face off against I’m more than happy to look into it.

I hope to keep looking for some good fights and run into more SF to fight.

And sorry my fridge is pretty empty right now. You wouldn’t find much in there.

I think GoM may comeback quite quickly after the weekend.

Not even 24 hours into the matchup and people are trying to call it. So foolish. We’ll see how it is after the weekend.

chesterwing definitely has the wrong idea. i didn’t really go out of my way to kill anyone, i just turned the xoxo mesmers (and others) in to moas.

i was really keen to see if the twilight guardian would leave twilight moa footprints but sadly, i lagged and did not get to see the result as he’d run away before my lag went away. i logged off before anything reverted to a tower, and iverna logged before i did. in fact, i think the bulk of us headed off around/within the same time frame.

whatever the XvZerg +siege+fort nonsense is, it isn’t what we’re talking about, so please stop sullying our clean fun defense of flame rams with this.

@battleaxe – no, sorry. my mesmer isn’t asuran, and my tags aren’t CC.

@atomicjellybean – i steaked you 3 times in under 10 minutes on an upscaled level 20 engi.

the first, in a group.

the 2nd, you came for revenge.

the 3rd just because i could.

on my alt account, which is in different guilds, so no you wouldn’t have known it was me by the tags. i had a good chuckle about it with your co-leader.

My message was intended to mock you guys for begging for a rematch

Except there isn’t even any need for mockery here…we enjoyed ourselves, we had a blast, we took nothing seriously, and were generally just having a good laugh on our mumble, and we sincerely hoped you guys did to. I guess your provocations are kind of adorable, though.

ya the nsp members that were there also enjoyed giving you the treatment as well, I’m sure many laughs were had. None on my part though since when I got there all of you were hiding in that tower with siege. I just personally think its funny you guys beg for rematch for that, seems like you’re just trying to save face to me

in other news, asparagues of ASH thinks teivospy is a hacker because xoxo told him that she uses aimbot and wallhack or something. IDK the full story she has the image file i’ll post here when i get the url

So when was anyone “begging” for a rematch. It was a simple asking in the forums if NSP wanted to have a fight like that again, because we had fun. If they didn’t enjoy it so be it. If they did, great. When we were back at the tower most people had left, were leaving, or getting ready to leave. At that time it was more even than anything else and little bit farther in there were more NSP after most everyone had left. When you showed up and we were back at a tower you would have noticed similar numbers on both sides.

It was good fun indeed. So many Mesmer clones trying to kill me.

Was fun fights tonight in EB. NSP put up a great fight especially at SM. Sorry didn’t see you much GoM. Didn’t spend much time on your side of the map.

There is nothing wrong with someone expressing their opinion on this event. Calling them haters does nothing and is childish. They don’t like it so they voice their opinion. Deal with it and grow up.

Game Over
While this is different and unique I got bored with it rather quickly and so did several others. As someone previously posted it was interesting and then got boring. That being said I’m not totally against it staying as it has already been done they’d just have to leave it. I am however against them devoting anymore time to it and doing updates. This pulls developers away from the real game. Most people bought this game to play a great mmo that they made whether it’s pvp or pve. I already disappointed in the amount of time they put into jumping puzzles let alone an 8 bit platform game.

This simply isn’t was most people wanted to do when they got the game. They should be spending their time with the actual game GW2 and their permanent content.

No. Most people who don’t care about this content probably wont post. I’d say most people thought interesting and tried it for 15 minutes or so and then thought meh. I played it for a bit and quickly got bored and wanted to go back to the real game. I find Mario games more entertaining. Good attempt by them to put something different in, but it’s content I could care less for. I would have liked something seasonally themed more.

However, I would have ultimately preferred they put their developer power elsewhere and worked on valuable permanent content. As you said above wvw needs improvements as all of us wvw players know. If they amount of effort they put into these temporary events was put into the actual permanent game content we would already have a significantly better game.

I do have a question for you. Are those that don’t like said content the ones you consider haters? Simply because they don’t like the content and believe that the developers could have better spent their time. I didn’t like the content and found it boring after a while and promptly went back to the actual game. Don’t forget ones out spoken behavior to something that is seen as complaining is in fact someone simply voicing their opinion in hopes that those listening will hear them and do something else. Everyone here is their customer and it’s the customers right to speak out about things they don’t like.

It’s different for every computer. If I knew your specs I could suggest where to start. Ultimately though it’s going to come down to testing different settings out. Even knowing the specs it will behave differently on most any computer.

Ok you’ve got your 2-3 pages worth of double teaming talk out of your system now. Lets talk about other stuff. Good fights on HoDBL tonight NSP. Lots of fun. Sorry Server Police brought his zerg I only wanted enough people to help hold you all off at bay and maybe push tower, but he brought his zerg. Was good fights though. Thanks for the fun NSP.

Wow, I’m Ashamed to be a player on HoD right now.. That was disgusting what I witnessed. Having commanders bark orders to NOT ATTACK the enemy is down right wrong. then proceed to SPAWN CAMP…… DISGUSTING.. you guys should all be ashamed.

There are still plenty of commanders who don’t act that way on HoD(myself included). Most of the commanders I’ve run into or share commanding with on a map have been good people to command with. I don’t think it will happen again or hope it wont.

Many people came from EB to join us on NSP BL rather than camp you at spawn. You all were putting up a good fight on you BL. Was fun tonight. Thought about going to EB earlier in the night, but it was full and I wasn’t in the mood to wait for a queue. I never encourage and will refuse any offer to work together with another server. That being said though. If it is a good tactical decision to attack you while you are getting hit by the other server it will happen as it should. Neither me or my guild approve of deliberately working with another server to double team.

Was fun though. I’d like to welcome the transfers to the server. Hope you all make a home of HoD like I have. See you all out there.

So it appears the removal of culling melted my graphics card. It just spontaneously combusted last night after several massive zerg fights.

For the record, it was a decent card on a decent system*, was only a year old, and when I went into WvW I turned my settings low and got rid of shadows. But apparently the new changes were too much for it, alas.

Anyone else in mourning?

*system: quad, 8gigs ram, 6970 card, liquid cool

That’s what happens when you use AMD cards.

lol, I know right.
AMD card can’t handle intense graphic better than Nvidia card can.
My new computer with AMD is only 5 month olds, but it already started acting up just a few weeks after I purchased it >_<;;;

My Nvidia card before started acting up after 3-4 years of intense gaming usage.

Both AMD and Nvidia are perfectly fine. Both last about the same amount of time. Much of that is in direct relation to how much the card is used and how heavily it is used. Each one is slightly better than the other in certain areas.

Software will almost never cause your card to break. Software can however put your card under those stressful conditions that it can’t handle because there is something already wrong with it. Most computers cards that burn out and seem like the game caused it are in fact caused by defects. The game just brought that defect to light. When it may have otherwise gone unnoticed for a while longer. There is a reason hardware has warranties. Some manufacturers have minimal or no quality assurance. I don’t know of a manufacturer that has a warranty less than 2-3 years. Honestly that’s about what you should expect out of a card when used for gaming regularly.

Score update please

IWhen I was looking around for a new server I checked out all of the servers in this tier and found that I liked HoD the most. If you have any other questions about HoD feel free to ask.

Could you share why this server won out over the other two? Looking at this tier since I’ve seem some posts from people claiming there’s a fair amount of smaller scale battles here. I would like to find a server/guild where I can do small scale roaming parties, ignoring the map objectives—just PVP—when I’m not solo roaming.

Thanks for any insight.

I’d be happy to, but will do so in PM. Don’t need to set it up for a derail from others.

I’m not sure what servers are still getting free transfers, but last I checked HoD is getting them if we go by Anet’s list. I moved to HoD from SoR and have enjoyed it much more than SoR. There is much higher potential for smaller fights and medium sized group encounters. We are currently winning in our Tier despite being outnumbered much of the time. I’ve liked the community over here quite a bit so far. I spend most of my time in mumble with my guild [VLK] Valkyria Immortalis and our friends. There’s also a vent server with quite a few people on it too. We still come out and fight even when outnumbered. When I was looking around for a new server I checked out all of the servers in this tier and found that I liked HoD the most. If you have any other questions about HoD feel free to ask.

Stay away from huge 3 zerg fights. Split up your forces more. I’ve only gotten skill lag in enormous fights. You can still zerg. Just avoid trying to jam every player on the map into one location.

I like watching class cannons get melted.

In the end you can ultimately accumulate enough WXP for all of the bonuses.

I moved from SoR to HoD and am having tons more fun than I ever did on SoR. Lower pop also provides for more challenge and less zerging. An individual player has a greater impact in a lower tier. I find this tier to be a lot more fun than tier 1.

HoD, FC, and ET all say high from time to time too. If I recall the overall server space was increased around when paid transfers came about. So you wont see many full servers and servers that said something else would be considered lower pop. That being said come to HoD

I came to HoD several days ago. I joined [VLK] Valkyria Immortalis. I’ve enjoyed this server a lot more than SoR, which is were I came from. I also spent time on Yaks Bend. I like HoD the most so far and checked out several other servers before deciding to go to HoD. The great thing is that we are doing quite well against higher population servers. If we get some more players and better coverage we could rise at least a couple of tiers. Most of the people over here I’ve run into are good people. I like the smaller scale fighting from time to time and the challenge.

There seems to be several different guild sizes that are dedicated to WvW. Right now we are sitting at 44 active members. There are also bigger and smaller guilds too. If you want to start a new guild up I’m not sure how you will do. Even on higher pop servers it isn’t easy. More and more people want to be in a bigger guilds due to the way guild events work. I like that our guild isn’t very big but most of the members are active and we all get a chance to get to know each other.

All servers have their ups and downs, but I have enjoyed HoD the most so far. Granted I haven’t been here very long. Though right away I started enjoying it here and on other servers it’s taken a while or I ultimately didn’t end up liking the said server.

Maybe in spvp but not wvw.

Interesting. I thought SoR was some awesome server?

He’s just a troll.

I have never seen this guy or his guild before.

Because you are online 24/7 and you know every player and guild on a first name basis. Just because you don’t agree with him doesn’t mean he’s a troll. Each to their own. I have had the most fun in wvw at t3 level so I would choose one of those servers. Just my 2 cents.

Yeah, he is a troll.

His signature says he’s a commander yet I have never seen this guy on and I’m on quite a bit. SoR runs a community teamspeak that regularly has over 250 players on it yet I’ve never seen him or anyone from his guild.

He may very well like lower populated tiers but this guy doesn’t actively participate in WvW or SoR’s community. He’s probably just another JQ drone trying to sabotage a competing server. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/The-state-of-tier-1-NA/first for details….

I am in fact on SoR right now. I moved over here from Yak’s Bend I came with some friends. In fact several of our guild members and I have been on TS in the past. I choose not to get on it because I don’t like the way the community is run or the TS. I don’t put my commander badge on most of the time, because I usually go to a map and look there is already 3 or more badges on. Our guild is fairly small and most people wouldn’t see us running around anyways. Lots of us are looking for possible homes on the server currently as it’s been hard to expand and smaller guilds don’t quite do as well anymore.

I’d be happy to stay on SoR if I could find a guild I like. I really don’t want anything to do with BG or JQ. If you just have hate to spread, go away. I don’t like SoR right now. That’s how I feel. Now get over it.

Anyways, thank you everyone for the feedback I’ve got some thinking to do and I saw some PM’s I’ll be figuring out what I want to do soon. In the meantime any and all feedback on servers and guilds is appreciated.

Its alright. Just not my kind of server.
