Guild Wars 2

I’m still not sure I see the basis of this thread.. saying someone is “being rewarded for a 5 month break” is complete BS. IT IS CALLED LUCK. There is no system to give MF to people who don’t log in for a certain period of time.

Honestly, it seems like you are placing too much pride on having money/items. Gold is decently easy to make for me, I like to play WvW, that’s where I make my cash. Yeah I’m going for a legendary as well but I will be very proud to say that: 1) I didn’t buy it with RL cash, 2) I didn’t play the TP for it and 3) I didn’t Orr/CoFP1 farm it. I’m missing 50 lodestones (glacial, corrupted) and my precursor. When the time comes for me to get it, it will happen.

I really think you need to find something you thoroughly enjoy in this game and not worry about other people’s lucky drops.

ANet stated that GW2 was anti-grind when it came to obtaining END-GAME, Best in Slot GEAR. Which still holds true today. BiS armor is obtainable the minute you hit 80, BiS jewelry takes a little longer but is not a grind since it is tied to dailies and the “average” player can obtain them in the same amount of time as a “hardcore” player through the same method. Hardcore players are given other ways to get them faster though.

Yes.

I’d actually prefer the game to be more like WoW where bosses drop unique armor skins unique to the boss, kind of like Shadow Behemoth drops the Scythe. But the way current things are makes the game bad. Players taking risks should be rewarded, not players that just get lucky.

The Scythe in itself is an RNG item…from an RNG chest…

Either I’m lost or you just foiled your own topic in the 4th post.

Quite expected mortar mastery abilities. Good thing there is no range increase. The blast radius increase may make some current siege locations obsolete though.

I wish there would be increased range of vision towards the direction which the mortar/treb is pointing. Today some of the targets which you are shooting at are too far to be displayed. I don’t even see damage numbers. Only way to know you have destroyed the target is WXP gain.

There is also long delay in animation when you switch ammunition and launch a followup shot. Please fix.

I’d like to see faster rotation speed be one of the traits. The radius kind of sucks, but hopefully new map designs are in the works that will offer more siege spots. Prays to ANet Gods

Almost every game out there as RNG for loot tables…

ninja edit: sounds like you need to step away from the “Legendary Grind” and play the game for what it is and enjoy who you are playing with.

I hope “the largest balance patch ever” will not require me to obtain a new set of armor and runes (and transmutation stones for my cultural armor) in order to effectively compete in WvW. It already took a lot of time to gear up my toon.

They already said they would be adding new traits, combining traits to form new ones… which creates new builds, so yeah, you might have to regear to run one of the “new builds”.

Mortar Mastery Joins the Growing List of World vs. World Abilities – Players can increase their mortar effectiveness by training in Mortar Mastery. Improvements in this line include increasing mortar blast radius, beefing up on damage, reducing skill recharge, and even adding a new skill, Mortar Barrage.

Also:

Skill and Trait Balance Update – The largest balance patch ever is being introduced in this build, which includes significant updates to traits and skills to introduce more viable build diversity. Every profession trait line is seeing changes. Updates also have been made to some less popular skills to improve their effectiveness.

EvilSardine.9635:

This is basically what happens 99% of the time when the zergers aren’t with their 40 other friends and the fight is even. There were a total of 5 inside and 4 of us outside.

Best part about it are the emotes.

Hats off to all TC/SoS guys who DON’T do this and give us good fights!

Sucks doesn’t it? Not sure how people laugh after running away from a fight. I’d love a way to “give props” to someone who fought with honor and have it show up somehow (obv has to be from a diff server)

Ran into the tail end of a GvG last night, stayed for some random dueling.

An Idea struck me while watching duels last night… I want to create a Red Cross of Tyria guild and be a medic for all of the duels that go on, just to show people, “hey dont attack me I rez ppl” while in Air Ele form… anyone wanna join?

Sanctum of Rall (est. T1 after this week, ranking 2194.2, deviation 176.4) could not possibly roll lower than 2017.7, while Sea of Sorrows couldn’t roll higher than 1982.6 (est. T7, 1797.5, 185.1) so they could never actually match up.

That’s wrong and it’s in several of your possible matches as well, e.g.
SoR – BG – SoS 0.37%
SoR – TC – SoS 0.09%
SoR – DB – SoS 0.05%
SoR – JQ – SoS 0.04%

With Sea of Sorrows’s luck SoR BG SoS will happen.

When we roll that.. I’m going to kick you out of SoS..

THANK YOU!!!

Orbs will never be a solid object again, won’t happen. Any new orb will be some kind of “stay and cap these points to earn buff” deal. Hold a certain number of points and you get a buff, lose them and it’s gone but you can recap quickly to earn it back.

Stationary areas, kind of like the capture points in sPvP, or supply camps in WvW.

Server A holds 2 of 5
Server B holds 2 of 5.
Server C holds 1 of 5

A and B will be trying to capture that 3rd point to give them the buff and C will be trying to stop it, resulting in many skirmishes just for a buff. This leaves smaller teams the ability to get caught up in “Orb Wars” while the main force is attacking/defending towers/keep/garrison. This will also allow for each server to have a “fair” chance at getting it, no more keeping an orb just because you have a T3 garrison or T3 hills, holding an “orb buff” will be an accurate representation of who is on the map. Server C could own NOTHING on it, but still control the “orb buff” for Server B’s map.

ps: hi titan i miss you

It’s Thursday Snowreap.. I need your weekly numbers!!

Straegen.2938:

As long as they decrease the existing range of trebs before allowing people to fire further. Trebs already are one of the most powerful pieces of sieges in the game since they allow servers to basically crack open towers, keeps and castles from relative safety. Extending that range will make it more difficult for weaker servers in a tier.

Trebbing bay ALL DAY LONG… Not to mention how great of a launch-point SM is to treb half of EB.. Treb mastery would have the same effect on players leaving as AC mastery did.

Like I said before, the best thing for you to do if you want to move to NA, is to break up your alliance and go to servers that need coverage in your guild’s timezone.

Hickeroar.9734:

People should be able to rally, for sure. It’s a core game mechanic.

I do, however, believe that it needs to be limited. Rallying half a zerg because your zerg has a zerker militia in it just penalizes the people who came prepared and did all the initial hard work of downing those enemy players in the first place.

I support 1-for-1, or at least 2-for-1. Heck, if they just capped it at SOMETHING that would be an improvement over “Wow, they’re all rallied now.”

It promotes zerging even more as well, don’t stray so you don’t die and rally half of the guys we just downed by mowing over them. I’d kill for some collision

Snowreap.5174:

if Piken Square is overrated, or if your server is underrated, now is your chance to steal some points from a higher-rated server.

if Piken Square has the correct rating, and your server also has the correct rating, then a match like this is necessary from time to time to confirm that the size of the ratings gap between your two servers is still correct.

you shouldn’t have to go against them very often, but you should expect to fight them occasionally. the probability of PS/FSP/DL getting matched together is less than 1%.

-ken

I’m starting to think you work for Anet, you explain the system very well.

covenn.7165:

They have noticed and chose not to change the mechanic. Not everyone complains about it or minds it. Personally, from observation, I believe rally is limited by who you are in combat with directly. I have no idea if it is capped.

Limiting a rally to 5 to match AoE would be fair though.

Currently, as long as you 1: are downed and 2: get credit (read EXP) for a kill, you will rally.

Joey.2769:

Can we all please bring down the aggression a bit? CD and SoS [Cult] has enjoyed the fights you guys have brought. The way these matches have become it is very hard to even want to go into WvW when there is a larger force, yet there are many on both your servers that are bringing the fight everyday. A special shot out to SoS that had their natural tower on CDBL last night (I think it was mostly FoE) we knocked the wall down a few times but you guys had that thing locked up!

Na that wasn’t us, or at least while I was there (had to watch the Spurs blow a 10 point lead and cry myself to sleep). We were there but mostly just screwing around with TC players. Do some of you really need to set up an sup arrow cart when you outnumber us by double all while being guarded by a T3 hills? Just takes the fun out of it.

I wish TC would open field fight a lot more, I feel almost forced to try and pull y’all out of the towers/keep but it never happens. There are some very good players on TC and it sucks that 90% run into a tower when they see people. We’ve run into some very good groups but most of our encounters are just suicides into a group to see how many people we can kill before the other 20 group up to wipe 5 guys or pick off stragglers running back to whatever fight is happening.

idk sitting on an arrow cart trying to kill 3 people isn’t my definition of fun, come out and play sometime, its just a death and 2s

edit: I even recalled last night I said to my guys “lets go to CDBL and fight whatever TC is there”.. that’s this match-up to the ‘T’… 2 more days then a new match-up

Liquid.9672:

LilMcGinley.3890:

I do think there should be a limit as to how many people can be rallied, not sure if there is a limit now (?). Since AoE is capped at 5 people, maybe make the cap 5 people?

I thought it was unlimited (within range), but I could be mistaken.

I don’t see anything on the Wiki about it.. I wonder if some testing is in order.

It is disappointing that what seems like 95% of fights are dependent on who gets the 1st rally. The downed state/rally system really sucks in WvW.

If this came to be you would have WvW tick timers like all the other ones; quick it’s been 14 minutes, need to get to WvW for free loot then back in time for Jormag!

Hmm good point, I suppose this might be taken care of if players had to be in WvW for 2 full ticks before becoming eligible for loot.

How do you deal with spawn afkers? WXP earned limit?

I don’t think it can be a drastic change.. if you do 6 meta events a day, that’s 6 rares + up to 18 greens…

Zaulhghev.5308:

snippy snip

Every server has that 1 time where half realize “hey we need to be better organized” and the other half say “screw it”… Best thing to do is start small. You can’t instantly try to get everyone on TS3 or change builds in a week… it takes time.

Story time: When FoE moved to ET from BG we were 20-25 strong, we opened our TS for them to use and started the usual EBG/Home BL spam for people to use. I received legit hate tells from multiple people about how we were “forcing” them to use voice comms and how “high and mighty” we thought we were. Yeah, we had a good group of people join and use it ~20 at max, but compared to how many people saw the message, it was a small amount. Even some of the newer FoE guys came from that server and we are glad to have picked them up. My point is: it is very tough to change a groups mindset over night, give it time.

2nd story: Berserker’s gear.. When we moved to T8, someone told me “you can’t kill me enough as a full glass cannon to make me change”, I took that as a challenge. We were wiping groups of 50-60 with 15-20, every, single night. That is their mindset. I have to do damage to get kills. How do I get the most damage? Berserker’s gear. The more casual players won’t sit down and theory-craft group synergy builds, the run whatever 30/30/x/x/x build they want so they can get kills. 1-2s repair bill is nothing to most players so it doesn’t mean anything to them.

I do wish CD would come out and play. I’ve spent probably 20 hours in WvW this weekend thru today and I’ve seen ~30 CD total. I miss you guys.

You know, once again nerfing the drop rate of ectos from rares while people are distracted with Dragon Bash is incredibly shady.

Personally, I strongly doubt that it was an honest mistake in the code last time, and I doubt that it is again this time, but if it is, please please do the right thing and fix it.

Preferably before people have to raise kitten on the forums about it again.

Deniara Devious.3948:

LilMcGinley.3890:

I wish ANet would reduce prices of transfers or open free to medium pop again or make Very High server 2500 gems to move.

This would be a huge mistake. WvWvW population is different from the server population.

E.g. Desolation is very high load server, but we can barely get people enough to fill EB and our own BL on prime time and we are often outmanned even in the evening at our own BL, not to mention other BLs. We are outmanned 80% of the time! The positive side is that we rarely have queue.

Seafarer’s Rest (SFR) is medium population, but can summon even five 30 man guild teams to fight at same time. And just ask from SFR players what did they think of the free transfers to a medium-sized server. It almost broke their server as they had so huge influx of players the guild couldn’t get their teams to same map, because of many hour long queues.

Transfer cost should be inversely based on WvWvW coverage and performance. Those servers who haven’t won their match up for 5 months or longer need the biggest help.

Unless they track or publish numbers on “WvW Population”, the only basis of population we have to go off of must be used. The only way to get WvW’ers off stacked servers is to offer incentives to help them move, lowering the cost is how to do that in combination with them not liking their “boring” match-ups.

I don’t see them (ANet) dividing out PvE/WvW population for anything, ever. Sadly, that leaves us, the most “hardcore” WvW players out in the cold. Very High servers sitting with little to no WvW players and Medium full of them. Guilds don’t want to transfer to Very High b/c of the cost, and they can’t transfer to servers like SFR b/c of the queues.

Also, I was unaware of the current situation on SFR (medium pop in T2). I was on a medium pop server back at the start (NSP) during a quick run to T1 and yeah, we still had decent queues because we did what SFR did, stack WvW guilds on a small server with little to no PvE minded players. My post was not directed at any 1 server but at a glaring top-heavy population imbalance.

quick edit: i’m an idiot and said the same thing twice

Mike.4618:

snip

They are ranked by numbers and coverage… it’s how they are ranked right now… higher rank > more people more coverage…

The best thing coming out of this match-up is the higher population servers getting bored and hopefully thinking about moving to a smaller server. I wish ANet would reduce prices of transfers or open free to medium pop again or make Very High server 2500 gems to move.

Aeros.2046:

I for one love the tree. Kiting him into Speldan supply camp is guaranteed to cause drama.

We had a group of 5 kite him to Speldan and caused an SoR zerg to die.. greatest night of my life.

To everyone saying “server y in Tx needs help” there are no tiers anymore… SoR played the rank 7th server last week, that means JQ could play up to rank 9 or so based on rankings.

“Tier 1” servers only have a 50% chance to play each other each week, stacking these servers even more will ruin WvW, especially when they aren’t put up against each other.

No one has fun when you outnumber your opponent by 2-3 times.

Honestly, your best bet is to split up your alliance and go to servers where your exact coverage is needed.

azizul.8469:

i always wonder why the EU has 27 servers when almost half of them are in medium population status….

There are language barriers that don’t exist in NA servers.

Le Rooster.8715:

Excalibur.9748:

Kinda want SoR back now.

This week is pretty boring lol. I guess we finally understand how SoR feels now. Except even worse.

I could have swore last week TC was complaining about how OP SoR was.

All the fairweathers come out when you have 4 to 5 times the numbers of the other servers. I still /laugh when people run into their tower from 4 people just so they can sit on their arrow cart and try to kill us…

If only there was PvP in my PvP

Actinotus.6410:

glittergirl.4162:

The main reason why we are not thinking about servers outside of T1 is because of the lack of coverage. We play long hours, and we do not want to be caught fighting against FA or even worse CD, Maguuma and servers who we watched this week pretty much give up within 5 hours of reset.

I’m not sure you understand they new matchup system? There is no such thing as T1 anymore. If you join SoR or JQ you WILL be fighting against FA, CD or Maguuma.

Pretty much this. This is the point no one seems to understand now. The days of being locked in a 4 month long coverage war of your tier is over. Keeping “tiers” with super high population will keep this same thing going..and that is massive amounts of people on unbalanced, top heavy servers that will PvDoor every week because the RNG will not give you 2 servers who can match yours.

This isn’t directed at this 1 alliance, it’s directed at anyone looking to transfer servers.

WvW population needs to spread out so things like TC/SoS/CD don’t happen every week.

glittergirl.4162:

We are 400 strong, but our numbers during prime time vary. It is physically impossible to get all 400 online, but we sometimes get close if we can get an event message posted with a fair amount of time, like a weeks notice.

On average, every day of the week, we mass about 150 between us. The good thing about our guilds, is we don’t try and bolster numbers inside the guild by keeping inactives on the roster. So out of the 400 odd people, all 400 are active at least 3 times a week.

I can see how people will feel that we are stacking a server if we go to T1. This is just the way Anet has built the game though, there is not much we can do about wanting to fight with the best on NA. The slope in coverage from T1 to T2 is poor. A T2 server would be very much a great destination to try bring a 4th server into the top tier to fight against JQ, BG and SoR. Fact of the matter is that both Tarnished Coast and Dragonbrand are far from perfect and for us to move to either we would have to be reassured they still have a passion for the game and are willing to change a few of their current bad behavious.

Depends on how you describe “the best”.. If your definition is the opponent with the most people, T1 is your game. If its guilds, there are great guilds in EVERY server, very organized guilds aren’t just in T1/2.

T1 is only T1 because people stacked servers and raised their rating higher by PvDooring, not that they are actually any better than another server. They just have more people.

ANet didn’t build the game to stack servers, players did that.

Hickeroar.9734:

After a while it just comes down to an insurmountable population gap.

You sir, have just defined World vs World on the macro scale.

Rackhir Tanelorn.9123:

LilMcGinley.3890:

I would go to a t4/5 server, bring them up to T3 so we can have better match-ups in the long run.

If they are as large and strong as they claim, they will bring any NA Server they transfer to up to at least T2 if not “T1.5” strength (stronger than any T2 but not competitive with T1).

Think about it – a single strong EU Guild transferred to SoR ([IRON]) and completely changed the dynamics of T1. DB dominated T3 largely on the strength of the SEA without having any EU coverage to speak of and an NA force that currently drops below both Mags and FA during primetime.

If this group goes to JQ they will likely restore it to the #1 Ranking with the SoR and BG possibly still competitive with their coverage. Anywhere else and they will only face competition when facing JQ/SOR/BG.

Well it depends, “400” people is usually bout 80-100 online at any time, that’s 1 BL, across 3 major time frames which brings they number down a little more. Everyone exaggerates numbers, remember when KWBH was “200 members” or whatever they claimed to be.

It would be a shame if they went to anyone in T1-3… we need more servers in the mix with good coverage, not less with insane coverage.

Bring on them free transfers. Fix this top-heavy population kitten.

JaredKincade.9761:

TC FAor DB.

Lets end the super stacking and get 4 real contenders. Stacking a top three server with 400+ more is ridiculous when you have the power to bring a server that’s close up to par.

And I’m from BG.

4 contenders? So 1 of them get to smash whatever poor servers get matched up with them? No ty.

I would go to a t4/5 server, bring them up to T3 so we can have better match-ups in the long run.

Please don’t go to an already stacked server.

Shinoobi.1259:

Control =/= create.

We stacked 4-5 servers which resulted in what everyone is complaining about.

It cost very little to transfer to freshly opened Medium and High servers yet people still dish out 1800 gems (60G) to continue to stack these same servers.

Control AND Create.

Outnumbered does not mean outmanned.

SoS’s motto for the first 3 weeks of the “new math”

To everyone complaining about population imbalance, you are aware that WE control that right? Not ANet. WE created this problem by stacking servers…

CD come out and play

Glad you have fun. It’s been awhile since FoE leads a map in SoS even if they are reduced in size. Sorry about the first few wipes! I forgot I was still wearing my mf set.

Haha Thanks! Yeah, it’s been a long time since FoE legit took over leading a non-FoE zerg. We are reduced in size, but what is left is the people who love to WvW and after sorting through some inner-guild items, we will be leading a lot more now. Beware.

Wipes are always my fault, not you guys. Y’all were fantastic.

Jackie.1829:

LilMcGinley.3890:

So servers stopped playing competitively because they outnumbers other so much that they don’t need to? Man, I could have made a fortune selling that bit of advice…

Unstack servers and you won’t have this issue..

But its not just that tbh. I am going to assume the majority of WvW players play to win WvW (yea sure some play for fun no doubt, but people like working together as a community and overcoming the enemy I imagine, and I say I imagine cause I could hardly care). When you look at the current system, winning or losing doesnt matter, you can win and drop or you can lose and rise.

We were 30k points or so away from the 3rd ranked server in Eu and got paired vs 19 and 20 this week, and in blue side as well, so somehow one of these servers managed to close and overcome 400 rating?

The problem is the RNG factor gives more rating than the actual outcome of the match up. I could have said from day 1 that having a value of 1 multiplying by the deviation was a kittened idea, but I no longer have faith in the devs abilities to do maths, afterall 80% on arrow carts and 1k bonus range (sure 1k range got reverted, but how was it ever a good idea to begin with).

My point was directed at him saying that they’ve stopped scouting etc, which is why I said that because they’ve created a situation where they outnumber their opponent on a weekly basis that they don’t need to act competitive.

If servers weren’t stacked as they are, you wouldn’t get these kind of insane blowouts because the population wouldn’t be top heavy.

Finally had a chance to lead a decent group for the first time in months.. man I had a blast. SoS BL was really fun. TC fielding 2 groups of 30-40. [TSL] with the 8 million catas on Cliffside.. Good kills, good deaths..

Offski.4897:

It is so difficult for any server winning a match up comprehensibly to continue fighting hard throughout the week. In fact what I have noticed is all attempts at playing properly go out the window.

Dominant servers have stopped having scouts or simply ignoring reports of attacks, as the match ups are pointless exercises in boredom.

The sad thing is it was obvious after this last week, that whatever was in ANet’s mind was going to be a failure, yet they have been far to indifferent to the feelings of the community about this. I can only assume they just don’t care.

Pitting AR against their opponents this week, Deso facing Viz again, Elona dropping yet another tier just shows how awful this match up system is. It needs to be sorted out before there is no wvw community with which to try different things with.

Unless SoR gets BG I and many others will not be showing up next week, its a shame that it has become pointless playing. What exactly are we playing for? I am at a loss at the moment.

So servers stopped playing competitively because they outnumbers other so much that they don’t need to? Man, I could have made a fortune selling that bit of advice…

Unstack servers and you won’t have this issue..

Was it a tower or keep? Isn’t karma training better WXP than flipping towers every 5 minutes?

BTW, look at what happened to EU this week. I know the upper tiers are closer in skill and rank than NA but some of those matchups are insane.

I’m really hoping for some stability for this week.

How do you define stability?

Well we had two high rolls and I hope for one slightly low. Basically I’d like to “get the band back together” and face the new T3, Maguuma and KN.

Though it would be a mismatch, we never did get our fight with Ehmry Bay. We spent a lot of time wondering how we’d match up with them and I wouldn’t mind finding out before they tone down the RNG component.

I also wouldn’t fall into tears if we drew FA and no other server that is higher than them. That would be a tough fight, but I think we could manage not to embarrass ourselves.

Also, FA is close enough in ranking that if they did roflstomp us, we’d finally lose some points.

I assume you are on SoS, as am I. Yeah, it sucked these last 2 weeks, but looking at the % of T1/2 servers, we should get a more favorable match-up this week.

I hope that guilds in T1 get tired of these blow outs and try to move to lower rated servers, a kind of population rebalance if you will. That is the only way these kind of match-ups wouldn’t happen, which is sadly out of ANet hands unless they offer free transfers to Medium Servers again.

The match-ups are only terrible because players stacked 3-6 servers to win all the time rather than spread out the population so there are equal sized armies.

edit: ANet is looking for a long-term solution that offer the best of both worlds: close match-ups and proper representation of server’s strength. It is very hard to do that with the current population imbalance in WvW and without blowout, we never know the server’s true strength.

Look at SF, they were stuck in T8 for months, and finally got out and were comfy in T6. Without server’s being matched up against stronger servers, we can’t know exactly how they’d do.. almost a Schrodinger’s Cat if you will.

Step 1: Know your timezone and ANet’s
Step 2: Math to figure out difference
Step 3: ????
Step 4: profit?

Khayoss.2019:

You need to stop thinking in terms of tiers too… they don’t exist in this format. You are what your rating and rank # says you are. Dropping to the next ‘tier’ doesn’t mean anything anymore. You lose rank points or gain rank points, and are then matched with appropriate (a term we use loosely for the time being) opponents.

The “tier” thought process is what created this problem, IE population shifts. “we are going into t1 we need more people” created stacked servers, if guilds in T1/2/3 would spread OUT to other servers we wouldn’t see these insane blowouts purely based off 1 servers ability to out-man the others.
