That is not true. How it is that “lower tier” servers dont have queues orat least not so big.
In bronze league i think only DL have queues and mostly on prime time, from what i heard.
And those are servers with high PvE population and low WvW population.
How is this possible?
I know that higher tiers, and I mean like 13 and 15 in Eu had queues even few months ago, but still were recruiting people to play there.
In past months there were several topics about queues, sorry but in the light of this I dont get how achivements were able to do that. I think that every reset and every weekend there will be queues on servers even if there will be no achivements in wvw, just like few months ago.
Now it is only worse because many people transfered before start of the League.
1)are you new to these forums? because that would explain a lot
2) i think Devon stated they are trying to find some update to commander system, but it wont be any soon
Dont worry it will get to Germany finally, not it is passing Czech so I assume Austria by the start of new year and in June you will see /somethingstupid in Germany everywhere
PR specialists are sometimes conservative
Step 1: Roll whatever you want
Step 2: join bigger blob
Step 3: collect loot
Seriously, why do oyu think it will work? have you ever heard of Retaliation? And why do you think Ranger will dmg any other than him? You mean longbow 5? Never seen it affected by feedback.
Well i have seen some oponions about conspiracy.
Almost every week i hear about double teaming.
/crazy idea
But if JQ is really getting buffed by Anet like a test server, please post mor info about what we all will get in future. Thank You
/feelfreetolaught
I dont know about JQ and Sor and others.
In past 3 days I have seen similiar situation, only with different servers not lagging.
We play against DL and Dz. Yesterday we were at DZ gari and all my group was teleporting rather than moving. On TS guys told me about skill lag, as a mesmer I could not cast anything than #1 with greatsword.
But I have seen Dz not lagging. Meteors on our head, guys healed, plenty of clones and so on.
Day ago in fight with DL on DZ borderland, Dl seems like having skill lag but there was none for our team.
WvW is about organisation, group builds, proper equipment, and knowing what to do and when – then it is great fun.
ehm what game are you playing? Organisation? Like get all people on map to one spot? Equipment and group builds like pvt geared staff guards and hammer warriors?
So how do you address SoR, BG, and JQ players who’ve been with their respective servers (i.e. never transferred) since day one?
Oh kitten , I just broke your arrogant thread.
Arrogant? No not arrogant. Just angry.
Week ago this was full forums was full of transfer talk and recruitment.
Even if you are on server with queues from day 1, that dont approve you to blame Anet for queues. Blame players not Anet.
WvW have some limits and everybody know it. Even those guys who play from day 1.
But there was a panic that only top tiered servers will get WvW achivements and rewards, so massive recruitement topics were opened. People started to move to high population servers, even that other players with “common sense” warned them from queues. Event Anet spend a word about queues.
You can blame Anet for maps with limit, but not for queues that are for the last few days.
Man has to know when to fight and when to run. Yes diing is a part of this game, a big part. You just need to know when you can avoid it. Like dont step on walls under attack because there will be AoE there.
I agree with skill lags. Those are terrible and are totally on Anet side. But not with queues.
@Tawn WvW community was not trying to discourage transfers. Only few guys did it. But you can see in Recruitment thread that there is still demand for transfers to higher tiers. Well much smaller that a week ago, but you can still find it.
Alerion, just curious why did you not followed him /stupid question
But I know what you mean. i can see it on RoF too. guys going to save T1 tower when there is attack on T3 Bay just behind them.
I just hope that some of those PvE players will stay in WvW and try to “understand” what is going on here
picture note: I love fighting Drakkars on Dzagonur borderland.
Too bad I dont have screen from my attack on Dzag Gari.
First I would like if you stop called me “this person” or “guy from RoF”. You know you can see my nickname on the left side?
Second, dear Carize, I am no ambassador from RoF. I am just a player who reads on forum before start of the league that everybody is moving to higher tiers. So many recruitement threads for higher tiers. And now only whining about queues on those higher ranks.
Third, I never said something like “no one transferred to MY server to help ME”. /whine, and i never would because I dont need to write that.
Four, there were 6 medium populated servers in EU. Its almost one single league of free transfers.
All I did was proposal for stop whining about queues. Almost every topic before league was about transfering. Not almost every topic is whining about queues.
@Carize.8532 you really think that good fights depends on queues? We have queue only at prime time and on our borderland and we still have pretty good fights on other borderlands too. We just have also a space to regroup not whole map filed with red names. We can choose our target as attackers and this gameplay is more STRATEGIC . We can split into 3 smaller groups and still have loads of fun. Yes during night time there is less action,but it does not meant there is none. You just need to use waypoint for max 2 times to find fights. Also roamers dream, that is bronze league.
@TyPin.9860 did not Kale transfered to FSR? Why did you not move to Vabbi or any other bronze server? Your guild would have significant impact on whole wvw there and you wont have queues. DId you even think before moving about queues and what your guild may achieve? Or did you just followed the flow of transfers? Well Anet did not moved you, you moved by yourselves.
There are 27 servers in EU and 24 in NA. Big number of guilds transfered right before league started. And there were free transfers to some servers, but you paid gems to move to high or very high server. And now you whine. People you just need to take responsibility of your actions and dont throw this on Anet.
There should have been systems in place to account for long queue times they had to know would exist. They went ahead without these systems and now they’re gonna hear about it.
Dont put everything on Anet. They warned us about queues. They are not responsible if players dont read red colored posts on forums.
Hey people,
for few weeks Anet was telling you that moving to T1 is not good idea.
They also made some free transfers so you can move from overpopulated servers.
Nobody cared about it that time.
And it is not Anet fault. I dont see people from Bronze league whining about queues. Rarely i see people from silver league. And there are servers you moved from.
There was queue before start of the leagues. You count count with queues after start of the league, but you still moved there or stayed there. It is not Anet fault.
ps: i am not Anet fanboy, i rarely agree with them, but this is just true. We in bronze are laughting about queues in T1 and about your whining
Why warriors are played so much? Because of skill lag in WvW.
And I dont mind 1vs1 but bigger fights.
Ele has some pretty good skills, but when you cannot cast them you are doomed.
Mesmer has too amazing skills and 1vs1 is kitten good, but with lag you can just lay on the ground and wait for Death from above.
Ranger, well he is good,but try to press F2 with skill lag.
Engineer dies because of retaliation.
Necro is pretty good, but with condi removals he will die.
Thief is pointless in larger fights.
Guard can have great dmg or great survivability, not both and this is his weakness. He can be great in larger fights but mostly not doing big damage.
And finally warrior, thx to passive regen and strong hammer #1, he is favoured. people can just use existing build, equip character and then go to smash some heads with just 2 skills – Earthshaker and #1 that is all he needs because his survivability is on the top and his damage too.
Result: solve skill lag and you will see more variety, otherwise only characters with passive survivability like Healing signet and #1 skill hitting hard, will be played.
t7 and small queues only at evening. I LOVE NEW LEAGUES.
I am only worried that next week i will make no achivements because of population imbalance on lowest 3 servers:-(
But i see also Dzag and RoF blobbing so it’s not only Drakkar
Yeah, because we try every day to run with small guild group. Like yesterday.
And we can only kill solo roamers because those are the only ones that run without 20 friends in their back.
I cant believe of that RoS support in Eu. We need at least one matchup against 3 top servers to determine that.
But I think Bronze will be:
1)DL
2)RoF
3)Dzag (maybe just maybe RoS)
Seems like RoS are having more and more incommings every day. Somehow it is good, because it will be fun to fight them, but if they got too strong and stomp everybody that will be bad for other servers.
Dont be so sure Anya, PvErs and their blob is almost dangerous as guild groups. They dont have skill but they have numbers. See even if you have shotgun, zombies will finally eat you.
I hope for RoF but I know it will be Drakkars who will win. Seems like they were tanking matchups and now they are more active than in previous 3 weeks.
I agree with guard upgrades. those are trully pointless.
Now structures:
walls first made gates a choke points. Perfect to use ACs to defend.
But with actual cost of siege both normal of reinforced gates go down very very quickly. You can get reinforced gate down very quickly with 2 sup rams.
This is somehow perfect for a small team of 10 people, because they have actual chance to get keep.
But it is also making defending harder.
There is no easy repair of this state, either you can buff health of gates and walls=eliminate small team ninja capturing
or you will scale gate health with players. This may be solution. Scale it with distance of 3000. But it will probably result in much harder attacing any structure. Nobody wants 2 hours of hitting gate with rams while no defenders there.
Another possible solution is scale gate health by defenders. but in situations where there are 5 defenders and 50 attackers it just delay breah by seconds.
Blix it is on the wiki page you posted. Just look there.
You have 2 choices: 1) play to get achivements, 2 )play the way fun for you
somebody can play both ways somebody cant.
Actually there are 2 achivements that require killing people. Mists Invasion Defender and Advanced Mists Invasion Defender.
Also towers and siege are part of WvW.
Why? You need 15 achivements to gain a reward. But for some matchups there will be unable to get Stonemist 50 times.
Imagine total blowouts or opposite. And those JP will be great to get reward.
The only thing that ever goes down around patches is the auction house/gem store and that is because it just goes down a lot and not because of a patch.
You probably dont play WvW right? WvW is down too for updates.
No.
Why? Because then you will need 3 currencies to buy something. If there will be ascended back packs in WvW, you would need laurels +badges/globs/new currency.
No.
Commander tags they need to be careful about giving commanders to much power over there fellow player with any changes. It would encourage ‘elitism’ in WvW, which already exists anyway. We already have some commanders trolling other players by turning tags off and on.
What about Commander squad UI, so commander will just see members of his squad?
And also suppressing of commanders should be fixed.
What I get from Devons answers:
-they got only sliders to work with,like slider for rare in chests
-they dont know how to “upgrade” commander system and it will never be done
-they dont know how to repair party ui and it will never be done
-WvW achivements are joke and will ever be, whiule you get 10 points just to come to event in pve every 2 weeks, you will need 1-2 years to get 10 points from wvw
-no backpacks in wvw (i really dont think that laurels+badges are wvw reward because you can get back item from wvw already by using TP and MF, wvw reward is a drop from bosses or SM)
Main problem I see is that celestial is still exotic. And it is only exotic armor which is time-gated. So Anet make all exotics time gated or make none of them time gated.
Otherwise it does not make sense to have some exotics time gated and the rest not.
That was fun yesterday, and it also proved that RoF is in great condition and have a great community. Only we lack numbers. But we really dont need individuals which will roam on EB, we have enought palyers of this type. But rather some guild or players that are not affraid of communication with others.
