Guild Wars 2

Caffeine.6724:

Title somes it up pretty much.. Just recently returned to gw2 after being away for over a year. When I left, SoR was tier 1, highest ranked server.. after a few days of trying to transfer ( literally stayed up 24/7 to watch and c if I could get on t1 ) I decided I’d be better off on a server where my playing actually made a bit of difference, that’s where you all come in!

What silver league servers could use another able body? I generally play early morning NA (9pacific) till I go to work, and when I get home (10pm pacific)

Any and all suggestions are welcome!

Technically speaking, the higher you go on tiers the less impact each individual have since there are more people playing…

When I’m babysitting a area I usually run around doing gathering and killing mobs for crafting materials. WvW ain’t the most rewarding place, so I need to get profit from somewhere, ya?

Feyd Rautha.7298:

Keep reporting it Like any company with a ton of customers, Anet operates primarily through data. If you manage to blip the graph with the same bug, the product development pointy hairs will see it and may take action.

Because they didn’t got enough data about this one over the 2 years everyone been frowing upon it, right?

3-ways on SMC lag in most tiers, even on lower ones. This is not new…

Arius.7031:

How many times will the vast majority of non-ET players from low tier servers shout no?

Even some ET players said no already…

I just keep reposting the old thread where we discussed that for like 10 pages.

Theftwind.8976:

2) Most if not all classes have some sort of “pull” skill to pull the enemy away from the gate before stomping

You cannot pull an enemy on downed state. You can only launch/knockback…

Since you can still swin on downed state, it’s nearly impossible to not allow someone to make his way to bay (or even lowlands) watergate before dying.

Hamster.4861:

Jessica, please take a moment to consider how much time this player has put into WvW. Is it fair that he/she reached rank 10,000 and that he doesn’t get a piece of EPIC loot for his/her effort?

Should be a forced ascended drop for this rank up specifically. Precursor would be a great present too. 10k WvW ranks is an absurd level of dedication and should be rewarded accordingly. The only thing left is to see if he can get yakslapper before he dies.

Absurd level of dedication to what? Playing the game? You don’t need to do anything specific to get wxp, only keep playing… I don’t think there should be a specific reward for a non-specific task. At best a title, since it’s what you get from the super long-term specific achievments…

Ahhhh the MMO communities… Never satisfied with anything…

Dano.5298:

Well Jeknar, I posted my guild’s recruitment thread in the guild recruitment section of the gw2 forum.

Point is: We are competing with people that post on both forums so we should put effort on the level of the competition.

BTW I shuffled 10 pages of the guild recruitment forum and found only 2 ET guilds, Nob and OTBH. And I’m sure these aren’t the only guilds on ET (As you can see on the post at the top)

Johje Holan.4607:

Yeah why does a server have to implode right before every season and ruin things?

kitten SoR!

No wait…

Dayra, regarless of what you want to make your proposal sound, you want to force the people that play on these “ded servers” to play in servers that have more people. And as it already been said in every single thread about server mergers these people DON’T WANT to be on other servers. If they wanted, they already would be. After all, we can transfer anytime we want or simply quit the game since it’s not longer fun.

Hvaran.6327:

guys, my NA friends…please when u writing about tier 1, 2, 3 add 2 letters NA or EU next time, it’s so annoying to open it just see that another Ronald McDonald can’t add 2 letters.

Best reguards.

Not like EU doesn’t do the same… On page 2 we have a thread named “Who gonna win blob tournament T1” which is about EU…

Reverence.6915:

It’s not about lack of numbers. It’s about lack of organisation.

Fail troll

When you have 20-25 on the map and 0 people in teamspeak and no commander tag? Yeah that’s called lack of organisation

Even in ET i find it hard to see a 20-25man group without anyone on teamspeak. Will we get everyone on it? No we won’t. But even on Blackgate, not everyone is on TS…

The difference is: Blackgate have more people, thus you’re likely to see more people on TS. Also, Blackgate have more organized guilds and guild groups are more likely to be on TS than pugs.

Shademehr.1397:

If Anet did a server merge, I wouldn’t kick and scream about it for too long. With that being said, I do have two specific servers in mind that I would rather not be married to.

Sorrow’s Furnace and… Hmmmmm… Sanctum of Rall?

Shademehr.1397:

Red is dead. I don’t care who you are, i just care that you’re laying on the ground with a flag stuck through you.

A flag? What scrub… Get a troll real finisher like a cow or a quaggan…

zhonnika.1784:

I’d love a bigger server pool to pick from. Would be a welcome change. At the same time, I’d feel like a big bully picking on lower tiered servers.

Judging how swiss style works, I really doubt JQ will face anything different than BG/TC/SoS.

sishbob.3987:

BooDuh.2841:

I’m impresssed you got tickets at all, way to go! I never recieved any despite repeated efforts – must be my bad dolyak aura or something. In any event, if I were you I would use them relatively soon. But thats just me, bad dolyak and all. Happy WvWing!

I’m impressed you’ve managed to stay positive despite not receiving any tickets because – assuming you earned the meta – its a sign that ANet really doesnt care enough to fix a problem a novice coder with Java could fix.

And I get GW2 doesnt run off of Java, but the point remains: the fix for missing tickets and rewards is an easy one, and the fact it was and is ignored for so long is disconcerting. I still know a few people who have yet to receive their Season 1 rewards.

He’s not being positive, he’s being sarcastic…

Menaka.5092:

Siege is fine for scaring away a small unorganized group or delay a big/organized group, but it shouldn’t be enough to kill them all. If it was (and if you use superior arrowcarts, in most cases it already is), it would only take 25 people sitting on superior arrowcarts to defend a full borderland, and that’s just silly.

People will only die to siege fire if they are dumb enough to sit under it… Yes, we can stop unorganized attackers that only know how to throw rams without thinking that there is defensive siege in place. But only that…

No organized force larger than the defense one will lose, no matter the ammount of siege on the place. Asking to nerf siege so the unorganized blobs can win everytime too is just silly…

insanemaniac.2456:

depends on if he has a gaming mouse or if hes a clicker. only video can proof.

You have somenthing against clickers, mate?

skyhawk.5149:

To much bumping by some other guy, can’t have our thread going to page 2.

The guy bumped his server guilds threads. I wonder why there are no threads for ET guilds… /shrugs

retsuya.4708:

Reverence.6915:

retsuya.4708:

main point is, those guilds moving/stacking into T1 are killing themselves into the staleness/blobbing they are complaining about

It’s not T1 complaining about staleness FYI and every tier complains about blobbing because it’s an easy thing to accuse someone of when they outnumber you at that point in time

this is not a bg recruitment thread sir

I don’t see how he is recruiting for BG with that post sir.

Chaba.5410:

EOTM is not WvW

Still it give wxp…

Menaka.5092:

Defending is not “hard”. Defending with only a handful of people sitting on arrowcarts is just stupid. With a handful of people you should be able to delay a big group of attackers, not stop them.

Because more numbers should always win, right? Why have to play strategically when you can just toss in more people and roll over anything?

The “siegehaters” for me are either:
1 – Open field people that cry everytime a enemy group toss open field siege
2 – K-Train Zergling that get mad because his 50man zerg ball couldn’t take a T3 tower with gate treb and a few ACs.

I still don’t get why people think sieges are so powerfull when offense is much easier than defense…

Reverence.6915:

Well, it can’t get worse than being the only one in any of the 4 wvw maps (unless people were being super mean and weren’t replying, not likely).

If you talking that because of ET, yes people tend to refuse to answer even if YOU KNOW they are there…

Buffy.9246:

It is consistent!
gasp!

Nice try, but it’s not even true on T1…

Banzie.5248:

DR queued 4 maps for at least an hour on reset. They need MOAR!!!!!!

If it’s not a constant, I don’t see a issue…

SilverWF.4789:

Heya! Did they made nicknames in WvW opened?

No. And you Necro’ed a thread 6 months old…

Dayra.7405:

If you roam alone you stay as you are.

If you have more than X people around you and are not in the commander squad you have 1/2 vita/toughness/healing.

So if a guild is running tagless they have 50% vit/tough/heal?

Assassin X.8573:

T1 doesnt count.

U mad just because you’re stuck with a server you can’t beat bro? Any matchup that lasted more than yours count. Shove it up and stick with it.

This has already been discussed on this thread.

P.S: I think this is the most “reposted post” I have.

Also T1 been the same for several months…

12/12 format for NA? People will swarm over HoD again for a easy win… (HoD is currently 13th, toe on toe with Borlis Pass)

This has already been discussed on this thread.

NSP will have a easy win if they stay on bronze…

I always wondered how the hell this thing was summoned… And now I know it’s not worth the effort.

Lord Kuru.3685:

When a gaming company calls colored commander tags “big changes,” it’s pretty obvious what the problem is.

Its so big that it cost 300g.

Clownmug.8357:

Meditation based mesmer?

I assume he meant Mantra.

Killthehealersffs.8940:

Oh yeah , there is the troll factor too
If you dont hit anything or if you dont hit a target that is already disabled , you loose the trap (lose of money and badges) but you dont loose any suply ? In order to prevent the ‘’troll your own faction’s keep ’’ ?

Since we already have to deal with the guys building troll siege, I really doubt this will be a issue… Let’s say it’s just another way to do it.

atheria.2837:

TC is not T1 – I will bet dollars to donuts the three servers below them could easily win over them..

Tarnished Coast won last week… I don’t think a server that can beat BG/JQ would lose to anyone other than these two…

skyhawk.5149:

Ladies night still going on? Didn’t the first ever one get cut short because the matchup was against YB and HoD that pretty much dominated with coverage?
Well on side note glad to see my former homies doing well.

It was YB and SF. Where YB dominated alone.

Warlord of Chaos.7845:

To be fair if its 5v30 you should lose it. Theres nothing that those 5 people could do currently, since a 30 man group shouldn’t wipe to 5 ac. Maybe now they could disable the siege long enough to call for help.

If you are inside a sieged tower by the time the enemy get to it (or even a little after), there will be little to nothing they will be able to do unless they really decide to commit time for it (Which most zergs don’t). With this stupid trap, they can simply walk inside any T3 tower without even having to commit time for it.

DeWolfe.2174:

The fact that one even thought of EotM as WvW is sad…. truly sad. It why siege prints should be removed from EotM and have them exclusively used in actual W3. Let’s have more transforms and such for EotM.

With the state of the game in some tiers, EotM is much more appealing than W3.

Crius.5487:

The first major change that may actually affect how something is played in WvW since bloodlust.

BTW, I can think of a spot inside every single tower (BL/EB) that you can place an AC to hit the gate that cannot be destroyed from the outside except by another AC. If these siege disabling devices require the same LOS as player ranged attacks than these locations will be unaffected.

Keep in mind that the radius of that thing is bigger than meteor shower radius (450 oposed to 360 from Meteor Shower)

TurtleofPower.5641:

Siege disabler actually looks cool. It’s freaking out people that just want to karma train through WvW instead of have a strategy, which is good.

Actually it’s freaking out people who have to deal in 5v30+ situations while defending…

Crius.5487:

If you sit in garrison scouting for an hour and a thief every 3 minutes taps the gate, you will have 20 successful keep defenses during that hour even though there was no assault on the keep.

Only if you kill the said thief. You don’t get a successful defense event by standing on a keep doing nothing.

Junkpile.7439:

Why use golems when you can use siege devourers?

Because some commanders are too dumb to use the Workshop properly… I never drop a single siege for gates/walls when I’m playing on Baglands side.

So a siege anything now:

1 – Disable and destroy all ACs on the walls.
2 – Build a bunch of catas in a blind spot for counter treb.
3 – Win.

Like attacking wasn’t easy enough already.

Yaks: 7382 / 3110 (2.37:1)
Camps: 5387 / 661 (8.15:1)
Towers: 2516 / 1005 (2.5:1)
Keeps: 679 / 893 (0.76:1)
Stonemist: 74 / 243 (0.3:1)

5125 hours of game time.

Arcadio.6875:

Now for my own tier, there is over a 99% chance that SoS/FA/Mag happens again.

Wasn’t that what the GvG guilds wanted so bad?
