Guild Wars 2

kazi.6438:

NSP here, we’ve begun to pull ahead. Not entirely sure if we’re gonna make HoD drop (they’d need 100pts of ratings loss), but we’re doing our best to give T8 a change in opponents.

IoJ appears to be dropping like a rock however.

Thanks for your report NSP kenobi…

I’ve fought IoJ back in T2, and they really weren’t a all-that-great server (except for their Aussies which xfered to Isle of Fort Kickaspenwood Janthir, oh those guys used to keep IoJ alive). However T6 is aparently prety solid to send someone up (and IoJ down), so i wouldn’t bet on they…

Now SF need to GAIN RATING!

Drysdale.3826:

We were top server just a few weeks ago, now we can barely hold a handful of towers. Are we destined for T8? If that’s the case, I’ll probably just transfer. I play this game for WvW and running around with groups about half the size of the others servers isn’t fun, unless repair bills are considered fun.

If SoS is destined to fall all the way down here, it means we’ll finally get a balanced T8 with fun matchs… But i doubt it will happen… SoS might stop before hitting T5.

EnRohbi.2187:

There is virtually no way SoS is going to fall to tier 8,
You have no idea how big the gap in population is between tiers.

Fixed that for you…

Arcadio.6875:

Probably not. Out of all the servers that had a mass exodus, only ET fell to T8. Unless more guilds leave SoS, it could settle in T3.

HoD came close as it fell to last place in T7.

People can choose who they want to follow and who they don’t want… There is no need for such a thing…

Also trolls would just mess the system by down voting “good ones” and up voting “bad ones”.

I’m sure Queues barely exist from T3-T5 and there are no queues on T6-T8… I don’t think it’s a issue that need to be adressed since only a “minority” suffer of it.

Everyone have a trait against Cliffs… But people are too busy focused on thieves that they forget the cliff power and die because of it.

ykyk.2740:

SoS is a bit of a wildcard here, though they seem to be holding their own in T2 against 2 very strong servers so I suspect they’ll be too strong for the current T3 as well.

SBI also held for a while their first matches at T2 when it bleeded…
At fist week, they scored 182k (3rd place)
Then they dropped to 100k (3rd place again)
And finally the deserted server died with 46k in the last week on T2 (Needless to say it was 3rd)

SoS is likely to suffer the same fate, as I assume people from there will be hurt even more for losing to T2 servers when they were clearly a T1 server… People on high tiers tend to worry about this kind of stuff (Unlike T6-T8 where it’s a entire different game).

SF is the only server that can win and lose at same time…

Manoa.5897:

That wouldn’t be an appropriate response for anyone coming from my server. You’ll need someone from one of the outnumbered servers to pitch in with that response.

Oh i do know a person who surely would complete the line, and he is from your server

TheRatofFilth.3528:

We just need a few days for the scores to start to effect the ratings and NSP is really started to pull ahead in T7

Sf is losing rating again (along with NSP). But we still at second day…

Jeknar.6184:

We talk, but we never update the scores… We have people that problably aren’t on game too:

What the … mate. I saw the scores this morning and it was like SF 27 ET 12 FC 10, and SF was looking to gain like 20 points. I look at it now, with SF 38, ET 19, FC 18, and SF is looking to lose 10 points.

That’s some crazy right there.

This is madness…

Welcome to the Glicko Ghetto. Where everything to do with the score is topsy-turvey and there is just no way to escape.

I expected a “This is sparta” or similar response… This will have to do it…

Columba.9730:

thief is better in wvwvw than are any of the others.

Only for solo roaming or make a escape… He also want a profession that work well as support, and i wouldn’t take thief as one.

NevirSayDie.6235:

He meant he’d only choose ele if engi and mesmer were bad at roaming.

Engi has a huge variety of fun builds, although arguably the best builds are pretty reliant on grenades, which are not very exciting to use.

I heard there are 3 other builds besides 100nades (one for FT, one for Bomb and the other i dunno)… Can’t say tho. My engi still low level.

TheRatofFilth.3528:

Couldn’t wait the day to get back on forums to all my fans…and now I can see them in game. And vist with with them when they are spending all their time in LA.

At least there is a commitment from the night crew.

He’s just afraid to lose his Crown if he stay away for too long…

GuardianOMS.8067:

Engi and mesmer are rather bad at roaming? When was this announced?

He never assumed that… He said: “I will play with my elementalist if i find that Eng and Mesmer are bad for roaming”.

I didn’t paid attention to his name… Figures…

If you see orange swords in T8, run away… They will overwhelm you. (Unless you’re on SF)

insanemaniac.2456:

whats grinding your gears so hard dude.
dat hate.

Nothing grind my gears…I speak the truth in it’s almighty form. I did just create this account and join ET on the battlefield today. But man was it just feels like I made the biggest mistake of my life. I play the game for fun and it is so hard to do that sometimes no matter how hard I try or others hate my divine wisdom.

I’ve came to ET (down from BG), and i’m enjoying my stay here for sure… I don’t know what you are talking about…

Seriously ugly asura…

People stacked cause server lag… This is why T1 lag badly, and T8 have no lag at all…

We talk, but we never update the scores… We have people that problably aren’t on game too:

We have no lag at T8

period

Back on the topic: Aparently SF is gaining rating again… but NSP is slacking off, giving HoD more rating.

Some commanders deserve a humiliation pink icon if you ask me… Two coppers…

Ungood.3054:

Jeknar.6184:

I think T8 thread needs love too… After all, it’s all about JQ/BG, etc (even here we comment on that =P).

LOL, Love is not the word I would use.

“There is a thin line between love and hate”

FilthyRat.4652:

So just need to ask you this one question…What are que times like on the the top tier servers compared to the zero que times here and how do the smaller amazing fights here compare to the higher tiers?

Before the SoS BADwagon came to BG, we had longe queues Home BL and EB the entire weekend (to not mention the 4/4 infinite queues at friday night). I was able to join in the Enemy BL without a queues as long a big guild wasn’t there (that would provoke a small queue, of 5-10 mins). I’m sure things are worse now, since more big guilds joined….

We have no queues down here (Maybe even SF is clear for that matter), and depending of the time you can see the outmanned debuff a lot. At Thursday night ET had 3/4 Outmanned Debuffs, and i’m sure ferg’s have the same issues (I even saw SF outmanned once when were pushing green out of ETBL). In BG i only saw outmanned debuff when BG gave up fighting in the last week at T1, having it 4/4. In regular situations it’s been long since i last saw outmanned on BG crew (Problably it was at BG/SoR/IoJ matchup, where BG never showed up on SoR BL at NA prime)

I don’t know if that’s what you wanted to know, but there it is.

Enter in the water at your won risk… I always flee to the water when outnumbered because i know how to fight there while most do not (and i’m not a ranger).

Ungood.3054:

FilthyRat.4652:

Don’t worry you will see me in your match up thread since you are so interested in ours…good luck and godspeed friend.

I think I speak for most people on this topic when I say “Feel free to stay there”

I think T8 thread needs love too… After all, it’s all about JQ/BG, etc (even here we comment on that =P).

Just come down here to feel the pain!

Or are you too soft for that?

vespers.1759:

i love how everyone complains about my server when they have don’t know which server i play on and that i have played on the same server almost my whole time in gw2.

For your complaints… I’d say you’re on JQ. But you could be on BG too now that SoS BADwagoned there, problably creating abusive queue sizes… SoR problably would be an option too since the SBI crew joined.

Now if you are from the Euro league, I have no idea.

FilthyRat.4652:

Very cute indeed…but he came in and tried to take my spot as the King of Trolls for this forum…and tell Theongreyjoy to stop trying to recruit everyone he see’s in T8 forums. Just not respectable for a T2 failing server to act in this manner…he has tried to recruit everyone he sees from all three servers…but guess it didn’t bode well for TC last week.

Oh, that shiny crown… I want that…

Also, about the imperial march comment in your other post: I never faced the “overtuned JQ” (in fact, SBI was stronger than JQ when BG first entered T1, and then SoS was the kitten at the second time), so i have absolutely no idea of what i’d be expecting from JQ this time… But problably I would be stuck in a queue for too long to discover anyway (Or stuck in the lag, as T1 claim right now).

You will know if something changed if SF leave T8.

1 – All npcs can be ressurrected by skills that revive downed players.

2 – The circle only appear while the lord is dead. If it’s alive, it will disapear.

Oh SF and the overwhelming numbers… It was strange seeing two orange swords in the map… And i still had some people saying “no, there is only like 10 SF in the keep”.
Anyway, nice battle in front of Quentin. Holding against the odds is really more fun than just roll over your enemy like it was up on T1-T2… (To not mention i don’t have any lag/culling issues in this tier) Every fight make me not want to go back… Please keep it up!

vespers.1759:

Rashagal.5867:

Plenty of space in a lower tier. This isn’t an issue that needs to be addressed. You want Tier 1 pop, you get Tier 1 queues. You want Tier 6 queues, You get Tier 6 pop. You don’t get both.

i don’t see why that should be the case when they can copy and paste the maps again. 3/4 are already copied and pasted.

Maybe because the lower population servers would get deserted maps? Blame the big bandwagons for long queues while some servers get outmanned in 3/4 maps 24/7.

Let’s hope the start doesn’t show how it will end eh?

A guy asked in another thread “what would happen when JQ and BG met up”… Well, there it is…

On with the show!

FilthyRat.4652:

I just want to remind people on every server since I see it happen so often to everyone…ALWAYS and I mean always look up when OIL is being poured on your head because it is a very effective way to clean out the tear ducts.

I heard coke do it better…

FilthyRat.4652:

Lol…if you had moved to T8 well before the JADE QUARRY war drums were in earshot, then I think people would take you seriously. But this issue has been going on long before BG had the SoS transfers that people were so upset about. Sorry that SoS had to ruin the curbstomping you guys were giving in your tier and made BG fears come true and face JQ again….but feel free to stay in ET as long as you can.

So for you I ran away from BG because i was scared to lose to JQ? If that was really true, it would make more sense if i had joined SF, the winning team, no?

But i’ll stop this discussion since it’s not the topic for the thread and it will most likely get locked if we keep going.

Alchemist.3692:

Cheers to another week of someone whining about the harsh realities of life. Every server outnumbers you guys. This excuse is getting old

We’ll never know since SF will never be gone…

Stealth doesn’t break combat unless the thief go away… And if he got away, he doesn’t really need to change map…

katz.8376:

look at the bright side… its another week to laugh at them while watching them PvDoor with no siege trying to retake their own keep

Norns don’t need sieges… Norns punch gates! Do SF have enough norns?!

T8 listing he was too lazy to make:

2/23 = 2196
2/16 = 2193
2/9 = 2192
2/2 = 2189
1/26 = 2187
1/19 = 2186
1/12 = 2190
1/5 = 2205
12/29 = 2253 Kaineng left T8 (SF entered)
12/22 = 2249
12/15 = 2264
12/8 = 2291 DR left T8 (ET entered)
12/1 = 2287
11/24 = 2295
11/17 = 2296
11/10 = 2294
11/3 = 2293
10/27 = 2294
10/20 = 2297
10/13 = 2309
10/6 = 2346 BP left T8 (FC entered)
9/29 = 2360 FC left T8 (BP entered)

Talk about stagnation… Looks worse than T1 i’d say.

FilthyRat.4652:

That being said we would love new transfers but if you decide to go to one of the other servers…FC is your place. Hope you guys make it to blue by the end of the week.

Do I feel a grudge against Eredon Terrace? You’re almost sounding like a SoR player talking about BG (you had to see our forum fights… They were fiercer than WvW itself)

The system work according with your lead, not with the others…

Last week, the diference between SF and ET was 252,007. Thus you won 27.571 rating.
This week, the diference between SF and ET is only 125,013 (so far), and you’re not reaching nearly close the last score. Thus, glicko think you got worse and will reduce your rating.

Stop comparing your matchup with other tier matchups if you really understand how the system work.

And no, i’m not saying the system is good. It’s terrible… But you are looking at it wrong…

crewthief.8649:

zen.6091:

I would honestly support anet making transfers free to T8 servers with an uncompetitive matchup to help you guys out some.

You should transfer to FC…I heard it takes 20+ people from JQ to kill you. LOL! You’d be unstoppable there!

The individual skill level on JQ was very low last time BG was on T1… I had no problem handling equal or even slightly higher numbers while we were there.

Since you came use your irony (and brag about your server) i’ll take that chance to jab you. But i’ll gladly delete this post if you remove yours. (To not polute the thread).

FilthyRat.4652:

Jeknar.6184:

Hello T8. This is Jeknar, Ex-Blackgate forum warrior, representing ET in the next matchup (and problably all others after that). I know it’s a little early but I’ll host our little score/discussion thread this week…

I’d say the only real change this week is that SF should belive in HoD/GoM to kill NSP as they try to not lose rating again and maybe leave the Blackhole .

Other than that, let us fight…

Wait “probably all others after that”…LOL. Hey I would hate to have to face JQ also even with those Bandwagoneers from SoS. Heading for the hills instead of facing the almighty JQ army is definitely a good move.

T1 is really boring… I’m sure it still pretty much the same since BG left it for the second time… And i was starting to get annoyed with the “hardcore level” that WvW has become on BG. Thus, why i came down here…
The “problably all others after that” i because i’m really enjoying the new terrain, even tho SF outnumber ET/FC, and do not plan moving anytime soon.

I can go solo a camp right away after it’s flipped… I’ll problably take around 5 mins to mop all the vets.

sostronk.8167:

The bags are a pretty bad design for PvP. With the way people move around in combat you often have to leave the bags behind. If you stop to loot you may be letting down a team member. I don’t really like to let people down in combat.

You have to choose: Your friend or your lewt…

ErlendR.6107:

But i guess most of ppl will be transfer to Sorrow’s Furnace :S

Going to SF is likely the wrost thing a player can do… They will be forever stuck in a server that will never leave T8, and hardly can have some fun because they are either fully dominating due high numbers (PvDoor) or being pushed back.

katz.8376:

and a fine good morning on reset day

I still see SF presence… Go back in there and finish yer moppin’!
