Night Capping and YOU

in WvW

Posted by: Jestersmiles.4365

This week we’ve (Fort Aspenwood) been paired against Maguuma and Sea of Sorrows.

A peek over at the ranking’s page;
SoS – 10 (green)
Mag – 11 (blue)
FA -12 (red)

SoS is a known Oceanic server.
Mag has some quality SE Asian players.
FA is mostly NA.

Friday night prime time; FA is dominating these two servers that “rank” above us..
Saturday morning; Mag and SoS have taken over the maps; FA is in third place (even though we claimed whole maps Friday night.)

Not to be outdone; FA works hard to maintain their day point advantage. We begin by reclaiming whole maps.
Saturday evening; we rest with a 3k point lead.

Sunday morning, we wake with SoS in the lead again. Everyone I hear is frustrated by this! SoS can literally get +600 points a tick with no opposition. We at most can get +460 to +520 a tick; as SoS and Mag also field some day pops.
We do not relent; FA resecures whole maps. Mag pretty much disappears from the game. We rest that night with a 7.5k lead

Monday morning; we still have a lead. Monday evening, a great lead.
Tuesday morning, an even greater lead. Tuesday evening; we are 40k over SoS and almost 80k over Mag.

We DID something about night capping; we stayed up late and woke up early. We are tired of this broken system and we went proactive. Do not give in to these night capping servers; dominate them.

Yeah let me stay up later so I can miss work..sauce.

What's The Point of PvP?

The point in the sPvP in this game is the Fun it might bring you,
if you dont find it Fun, then yeah, you wont find a really good point in it

And LoL is a bad example for that point, in League u can buy runes/rune pages/etc, so is not exactly like GW2

Dota2 could be more like GW2 because u can sustain the game and get only aestetics upgrades and Exp boosts! wich many do already!

I love it when people bring up LoL when Dota is like ten times better.

Stop reading when you said League of Legends is one of the most diverse yet balanced games out there for competitive play.

Diverse? yeah if you like Tanky DPS and a Stale meta game

Balanced? yeah if by that you mean every time Riot releases a champion they are OP as hell then get nerf to the ground when enough people has bought the champion.

Maybe if you would have said Dota 2 maybe I would have taken your post seriously.

Can’t wait to see MCL face in 3-4 months when WvW completely dead because Anet did nothing.

I be expecting an apology from all the “man up” people here thinking Anet should do nothing to fix imbalance and nightcapping, have fun playing a dead mode. Mean while I be spvping since at least that not a glitched , lopsided mess.

<—- Ebay player. Been in WvW almost exclusively all week.

Alliance or not, it’s pretty clear what the sequence of events were for this match-up.

Ebay gets an early lead. Prearranged or not, TC and Mag put the hurt down to claw back into the game. It’s a very smart strategic move.

Over the weekend, TC passes Ebay (and hasn’t given up the lead). Later, Mag and Ebay are close and Mag eventually pulls ahead. TC is opportunistic, taking easy points, beating up on whoever’s in 2nd and violently defending their holdings in their borderlands.

At this point, Mag and Ebay should have allied and put the smack down on TC. Neither server did, so TC gained what looks to be an insurmountable lead. Ebay and Mag continue to take points off each other, rather than work on shortening TC’s gap.

TC’s earned this victory through cunning. It’s been beautiful to watch. Regardless of whether they ‘played’ Mag or Mag and Ebay just aren’t smart enough to take points off the leader doesn’t really matter.

This has been a fun matchup, probably beyond repair for Ebay.

I’ve learned a lot by seeing how TC plays and hope my server takes the lesson to heart.

We won’t ,we are in no shape of form a WvW server. I bet most people spvp in our servers than WvW and there nothing wrong with that.

Analysis of GW2 WvW compared to DAoC RvR. [Long]

in WvW

Posted by: Jestersmiles.4365

Jestersmiles.4365

I played DAOC and loved it. Here are my thoughts in case any of the GW2 devs are following this thread.

1) Titles based upon WvW performance (kills, keep lords killed, etc…). This gives you a sense of who you are facing and just how experienced they are. Lets you get a better idea of your own progress.

2) Killspam messages. Gets you in the mood because you know who is active and lets you jump right in to planning on where you are going to catch them and how you want to fight them. Very important on getting those rivalries going that make the game fun.

3) Larger maps with more open field fights. Right now the WvW is all about taking keeps. I would love to see more open field fights that focus on movement and maneuver rather than on seige.

We already have titles for WvW how many times must this be repeated?

Seriously what is it with you people personal Glory in WvW where it more about Teamwork.

What don’t have the cojones for SPVP? That must be it……

You people sound the the fake battleground heroes from wow who could not cut it in Arena, so they go to battleground and act like their boss.

silliness

Spvp is boring and you dont get anything for winning there either(i dont count new fancy clothes as anything). . If you played daoc and had a decent roaming group you would know what were looking for. Knocking people off a node isnt pvp. I dont know wtf it is. Not fun after 3 weeks thats for sure. I also have no issue with teamwork. As long as its me and 4 others. I dont need to be with 50 other people then it becomes boring. part o the fun about daoc was the room to roam and fight and not know what you were gonna run into. Thats why i want to like the w3 in this game but its so cluttered I dont think it will ever be like that.

“you dont get anything for winning there either”…… -_- , PVP is not about Fluff, it about showing your better than someone else, WvW is about Servers trying to show off who better.

By your definition no mode outside Deathmatch is considered pvp….. LOL wow ok.

People obsession with the imagery dangling carrot makes me laugh.

BTW hitting a door for 15 minutes ….is SOOOOOO FUN……

If TC having this must trouble with us (Ebay) a low rank WvW server , well have fun fighting the big boys who dwarf you in number and alliances.

It pretty clear Ebay is never going to be a WvW server , we are only here because we steamrolled the last two servers but that ok with me, I am here for the SPVP not the WvW.

WvW is just who has the bigger number plain and simple.

Have run getting steamroll by ruin ….if you ever get that high.

Wow you people are ridiculously. Your post almost feel like your butthurt because someone has a different opinion than you. At least sky and yak offer intelligent arguments focusing on the issues of then thread instead of Go play DAOC. Kitten you, I can compare this game to any game i want too. I can also ask peoples opinion on certain aspect of the game play and state things i wish they did. Hey guess what! GW2 WvW is a lot like DAOC RVR! opps did i offend you chris?

Thanks sky and yak for an intelligent argument.

Hey it just right down stupid to ask one game to be a other , especially when said game is still being played. It plain and simple don’t like it GTFO.

If the OP wants personal glory .. er hello SPvp seriously , why cry about WvW where all the hardcore action is in Spvp.

WvW or RvR w/e you want to call it is for casuals. You don’t see me popping off saying I have swag because I have the patience to sit in Orge watch for two hours in front of a Ballista shooting down people. Oh I am so hardcore yo!!

OP want personal Glory HELLO SPVP!!!!

I almost feel sorry for the people that think there’s an alliance. It means they aren’t aware of the constant ebb and flow of rvr yet. 2 servers currently going at it at a certain front? Better believe the third party is going to take notice and take advantage against one of those servers. This is standard here in the middle of the pack.

It’s my understanding EB steamrolled their last match up. Welp, welcome to the real fights. You gonna get pincered from time to time. It only gets worse as you move up the ladder.

Real Fight? oh please here we go acting like we all bad now , man they give you casuals a mode and all of sudden you think your hard LOL.

I like the term “crushing” being used in this thread when the pie chart shows something a lot more even, but I digress.

Some of you folks are getting too excited by this thread and it looks like its one of the more popular ones to date. Almost 8K views and just about 6 pages

So i suppose WvWvW can also be played in the forums when people are at work. hahaha

Hey what can I say love it when noobs think their hard just because they have a bigger zerg than the other guy.

Nothing better than to shoot them off their high horse and back to reality.

I guess the fact that Ehmry bay overlook went down with Greens in the front and Blues in that back was just a sheer coincidence, I guess that moon and planets align for that one.

W/e It still seem laughable that you two need to gang up on us , one of the lowest rank WvW servers.

Any who have fun , don’t forget to kiss and make up when it all over. Enjoy your two man tango , I be heading over to Spvp where things are more competitive and fun.

I guess I just leave it that you really did not like Gw1 sin, I just hope they add more shadow stepping skills later on.

Well I don’t know about you but in Guild vs Guild every one ran a sin to kill guards quick, in the Underworld I was the one who rez my whole team after a bad pull , I and I was always sought after in my alliance for my sin.

I guess we both had different experiences with the sin in Gw1.

and they where far from the one trick pony you speak off.

Thief has tons more survivability with tons more damage and is in a game that isn’t dynamically and subtly against melee. Way more fun imo

Don’t know what more survivability you want in a sin since they could shadow step half the distance of your mini map xD.

Guild wars 1 Assassin Vs Guild wars 2 Thief.

in Thief

Posted by: Jestersmiles.4365

Jestersmiles.4365

This one is obviously for Guild wars one players , Which style do you guys prefer the Assassin or thief ?

For my personal taste I still to this day think that Gw1 assassin are the best “Ninja” class out there in any mmo/rpg out there.

One thing I love about the sin is that it was built around Shadow stepping skills, for example..

I loved it when my twisted fang ( if Remember the build name correctly ^ ^) sin, would pop return on the monk , shadow step to the target , pop my combo and if something went wrong dispel return and I would appear next to the monk (who should be at safe distance ) and heal and then repeat.

While Thief does have some shadow steeping skills I feel it more build around stealth , which in my opinion was not needed since the sin from part one showed there was no need for stealth, a mechanic that proven very hard to balance in competitive games.

A other thing I liked about the sin was it combat mechanic, which was basically like Aion chain skill setup:

The sin had one primary skill which was followed up by two secondary and a finisher. You could not use a skill without first activating the previous one. I Found this system not only unique but fun, and really meshed well with the shadow stepping skills the sin has.

The Thief… Well it your typical energy consumption ninja/rogue/ w/e the hell used in other mmos. snore fest….ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

It obvious which one I prefer , but what do you guys think? should the thief be more like the sin from 1 , is it just fine as it is, or you just don’t care lol?

Excuse my grammar as it not the best.

this is why stealth mechanics shouldnt ever be in game, they arent fun…people cant accept being beaten by them and then they get nerfed to unplayability so imho just remove stealth classes and mechanics from all games especially mmos

That why the assassin from GW 1 will always be the best Ninja class out there. I for the love of me don’t know why they did not try to make the thief like the sin, instead they copy wow energy system and call it a day. weak.
