Asian timezone domination update
Sucks though t2 is extremely competitive atm, and will likely be 3 weeks if not more to finally get Kain to move up. Big score diff between SoR and Kain atm.
Having Kain on t1 would be interesting and fun. Go go Kain!
Wow even after all the transfers into BG , JQ is still winning. It must have alot of dedicated WvWers , or just too much players lol.
JQ players are dedicated, friendly and are commonly mmo vets.
Just mute gw2 music and play your music on VLC. Easy.
ok so since beta this bug has existed making it IMPOSSIBLE to use high sound quality without getting this bug after a while, especially when in WvW..
Why hasnt this been fixed yet?
Because they want to fix culling and lag first. Low quality sound fixes it so for the moment , that will be the workaround.
Wait for next patch, or buy if you cant wait.
Every MMPORG has a couple of gold sink holes. Get used to it.
I have 276,809,301 gold

As topic says, make bigger maps now or WvW will slowly die
While we at it, can we also have dragons we can fly? It would make for an epic keep battle
sometimes thats all a class has to balance it enough to be effective
i.e. warriors
I agree. Factor in ele. We have craptastic Base HP and need those omnomberry bread to increase our survival rates. Chuck in oil and we stand on the clasp of Balance by a thin thread.
In short, no , the OP idea would not be ideal for 99% of the WvW pop.
I think people are excited about Kain in T1 because they have numbers where numbers are needed to keep JQ in check, Kain also has no reason to keep BG from taking PPT from JQ when Kain is weak in coverage. There’s only one way to find out, hopefully it happens before most get bored with the stagnation of JQ fielding numbers wherever and whenever they want, BG trying to de-throne JQ and SoR doing what it can from stopping BG from taking first from JQ. Kain would bring a refreshing change in that I feel they would like to make the monster work for their wins.
Since you seem to have wonderful inside knowledge of the workings of JQ, could you put me in touch with your contact? I would have LOVED to be able to “[field] numbers wherever and whenever [I] want” yesterday when I was on. Trying to get a group going in BGBL (when we owned nothing), it took more than 15 minutes just to get 10 to start the breakout event.
And please stop with the stupid statements like “SoR doing what it can from stopping BG…”. It’s tired, and it honestly just makes you seem like an idiot. Grow up, get out on the battlefield and fight.
I can’t count the times BG has been taking a Hills, Bay or Garrison from JQ successfully and here comes the SoR zerg from the opposite side of a map to slow down BG when they could have taken one of those 3 targets and possibly 2 while BG/JQ battle. I get the tactic and it’s a great tactic when playing for the win. But when you can count the amount of times SoR has attacked JQ zerging BG on the hand of a High School wood shop teacher, then things become obvious and it has nothing to do with 2v1.
Taking down JQ is going to take a 2v1 for an extended period of time at some point, that point being Thursday of week 1 of JQ/SoR/BG, they brought out the calvary and Kain has coverage when it was needed most to slow down JQ. But then again JQ couldn’t field any numbers from Wed-Fri week 1 of JQ/SoR/BG could they most intelligent one.
I would not argue that JQ overall has the best numbers, and the least coverage gaps. I would never argue that, but that is not what you said. Instead you go to extremes such as “They can field whatever they want whenever they want” (paraphrasing). That just isn’t true. We have gaps like the other servers. It’s annoying when people just go to the extreme (to prove a point I guess? But to me it just makes you sound very young).
As for your “observations” about the tactics SoR use…that is exactly my point. Stop using your single set of observations to discuss how an entire server is keeping you from the win, or “protecting” another server or whatever you want to call it. You aren’t omniscient, don’t pretend to be.
Some time today I was running solo on my way to Bay when I saw 3 bg beating on 1 SoR Player. So i thought i would help him out. Instead all 4 ganged on me
I’m surprised that the thread hasn’t been closed yet.
Let’s make it a little happier – What did/do you plan to have for lunch today?
I plan to eat little BG asuran children in Mayo and tartar sauce for lunch today.
I have never heard of these guilds/worlds and players. Doesnt EU have their own forums?
slightly off topic sugestion, you can ignore this if you find it unconstructive.
actually I personally find GVG to be an interesting aspect of the game (even if I haven’t had the chance to participate in one), hence the title says its Guild Wars 2.
I think it may be a good idea for anet to add a 4th W3 map, a small map, where everyone from the same tier server can enter the map, but there is only one structure on the map, which is an instance that can be contested by 2 different guild of the opposing servers, and the guild that wins it has to camp inside it to maintain the score gained from the said structure. and the next opposing guild that want to claim it should register at the entrance npc or something to enter, this of course should come with a cap, say 10 or 20 people that can go in, so that smaller W3 guild can participate too.
Just call it a colloseum or anything, or the karma stadium :p. make the score equivalent to a keep or a garrison to keep it interesting. Sorry for bad spelling and grammar as english is not my nature tounge
SO what you want is DAoC 3 side GvGvG map?
What happened to SoR??
Score update. This is my evil face.
hehehehehehe
i dont understand why your points have a decimal dot in them…and what is schwarztor??
Theres not really much you can do. Garrison has the worst lag imo.
and nothing about the lag?
Ability lag is caused by a lack of server-side data processing and/or data transmission capability. It’s basically the result of trying to shove too much kitten through too small of a pipe.
ANet has been mucking around with this sort of thing lately to try to find the cheapest way to go.
These are accurate. Their 3rd party host and cloud data processing houses need to get fired.
There were plenty of “what is to come” in march but they are scattered throughout interviews and multiple postings.
Basically
-Culling disabled and left to user control
-Badges buy you new stat items and armour patterns
-You get ranking
-Ranking gets you points that allow you to buy passive skill perks
-Refinement of wvw events
Some Necros make good combo and target practice
Your asian timezone update
I cannot wait to see WM vs Foo when you guys get to T1. That will be a crazy matchup WMvsFoovsThai/ND/9D
WM were never great. But they arent bad either.
There is no system in the world that’s ever going to compensate for server transfers, or guilds taking a break from wvw, or differences in primetime play hours.
Pretty much this. We use gliko to help make sure the matches end up being somewhat competitive, but no systems can really predict and react immediately to constantly changing populations.
While glicko may not be the greatest thing to use for tiered competition, I think it’s actually worked fairly well to help ensure that a large portion of our matches end up being competitive. We haven’t been seeing nearly as many lopsided blowouts happening as we continue to have more matches being played out and then feeding those results into the formulas. The obvious exception to that being the worlds who either lose or gain large amounts of players in a short period of time and get caught in a matchup where they get dominated or are the dominating force.
However, even with all the issues glicko presents, we have seen that while it takes a few weeks for the system to adjust to the population shifts, it DOES adjust, and eventually those worlds end up playing in competitive games again once they reach a tier that suits their current population.
And yes, we need to get paid server transfers in. We all agree with that statement, and we’re trying to make it happen as soon as we can, while still making sure the guesting system is as useful and easy to use as possible. We’re agonizingly close, so hopefully soon we can stop talking about it and just do it!
Do you guys really need to hire a rocket scientist to tell you to suspend server transfers until you put in place a paid transfer system that every other MMO in excistance already uses, if they allow transfers at all. How many players do you want to lose by inaction?
Transfers are already Gem based aka paid transfers…..

Kain will be here by week 3 march.

Nice work BG and SoR
I like how the OP used the word “Has become”. That implied some sort of
unwanted transformation. You sir are wrong. Anet wants gw2 to be zerg wars. Accept that and move along or the techno Viking will get you !
Is there anyone that would like to 1v1? I don’t do spvp so WvW duels are the best I can grab…
Looking to fight
D/D eles
GuardiansAnd every other class, but mostly those 2 ^^
i was gonan say, hey i’m a guard! i’m down!
then i noticed who posted.. :// lol
Just run around in the centre island, aka duel central. TaLKing about duel central, i think its time we all agree to a specific duel zone. Any suggestions?
DOnt have time to play much now for the next few weeks due to my bar exam
Logged in a bit to play sor bl. Not many folks on. But keeping getting
targeted by these group of 5 bg folks. Really 5?
It’s day 3 of our weekly war.. See you all out on the battlefield!
I believe your train has lost steam. Pun intended
Soon as all the bandwagoners leave JQ
JQ has been the most stable Tier 1 server to date.
Pink Quaggan cooooo \o/
Nice ! I have added it to the screenshot list. Hope u dont mind
So, I have a question for you then. Its similar to a philosophy question I’ve heard once.
Say there is a naval ship, named Enterprise. Every time she goes back to port, a piece of the ship is replaced. The mast one trip, the rudder another. Until eventually she’s made up of entirely new wood. Then each piece that was taken from that ship was put together into a new ship. Which ship is the real Enterprise?
So a guild comes from another server and 100 people come in the transfer. When it gets to its new server all its officers and members are from the old server. Over the course of five months players come and go and the guild builds and grows. The officers and leaders slowly quit and are replaced with people that didn’t come in the transfer until there are only one or two original leaders.
Is that guild still a transfer after that long?
The original ship that is made up of new parts that is named enterprise is the enterprise.
and ya the guild is still a transfer.
that was easy!
I thought the enterprise was made from composite materials capable of warp 6 ?

What a coincidence. Just saw this on imgur ! http://imgur.com/gallery/RIIW5Fu
So BG is the new SoS which was the old SBI which was the old HoD and so on…….
Yes. But Id like to hear some intense speculation on where they will jump ship to next.
BG doesn’t jump ship, ever. Certain guilds may but as a whole we have been more stable than any other server in the game.
You can troll all you like, it doesn’t matter to us, we just keep fighting.
I am pretty sure I remember people from SoS saying the same thing….and SBI…and HoD….and….you see my point
When did they say it, while they were still in T1? We don’t say it, we do it, and have done it. Blackgate just wants fun fights and doesn’t seem to think T2 is the end of the world and bandwagon back to T1 servers
I do not think any less of t2 to t8 servers. Its just this tier cycling that I think Anet intended as a game design. I am rather happy KN will get a chance on the 2nd reset. Fighting the same foes gets tiresome.
What worlds are these, i have never heard of them
Anything I can do without the tag? As I stated I have approx 6g. I would prefer not to play the tp for money because I play this game for fun, not economics
Go buy some gold. The exchange values are quite good nowadays
Is this a rant?
So BG is the new SoS which was the old SBI which was the old HoD and so on…….
Necros are a pain to kill. They do no damage but have a ton of hp. Its like trying to kill a brick.
DOnt waste you time. Get your self to 80, get an exotic set and practice
It’s not a waste of time if you enjoy playing WvW a LOT more than PvE . You won’t be the MVP of the battle but you can still make a difference if you just stick to stuff you can do ( use ALL of your support spells, always help ressing people – without killing yourself ofc – , follow the main zerg + don’t rush in like a champ, etc ).
I don’t understand why people need exotic gear to be able to have fun…. this is not wow x_@
You do realise you can just go and buy exotic gear right? Unlike wow, its cheap, can be bought with badges or karma and is not that hard to get if u farm.
We are talking about competition level WvW. Exotic and lvl 80 is the very minimum.
Unknown rezzing enemies we killed lol wtf is going on
Oh wow lol what just happened
