So a bunch of PvF this week?

Good to see BP has a guild of hunters who hunt

I’m always around, Usually under my guild tag. Probably one of the only ones you’ll see. It was a L4D team name back when I played on Game Battles

At what time did it dawn on you this name was good for this game?

one of these servers claimed they could wipe the floor with us….

Pyro has mad skillz

This will be a positively uplifting thread that all of GW2 community can look up too!!

I am astounded that BP is falling a part so fast after 1 fight vs a T2 opponent.

Kudos to SBI for showing BP how a server uses skill to beat a bigger opponent!!!

Gratz SBI!!!!

ps. What happened to BPs’ weekday force? Thought you all had lives and didn’t play on weekends, but stomped during the week????

It’s amazing, we get rid of one poster from just one of the servers and suddenly everyone starts talking like mature adults.

Makes for a boring thread though. Too boring in fact. Peace out. I don’t expect I’ll be back here unless someone addresses or quotes me directly.

I’m quoting you directly because this thread is about to get fun again

Not likely. SAB is here.

Yup no one’s into it.

Just witnessed this 50 on 50. Was cheering for BP but they didn’t come out on top. In all fairness SBI dropped a number of balistas and did have the bridge choke advantage.

Meanwhile DDLG was breaking down the north gates in hills for a successful capture.

Wow, the numbers you guys have is unbelievable!

Idk, we had about 20 DDLG and maybe 30 on the commander. I think we just have better guild coordination during primetime and we’ve been working with our pugs and the whole server is learning to move together in the same way guild groups do.
I think if you guys coordinated your attacks with your guilds and split up your 80 man blob instead of map hopping with an entire queue you could present more of a challenge during this time slot.

You’re giving us advice? Lol..

It’s amazing how one server has attracted so many terrible guilds. The only reason you’re winning right now is because of coverage and numbers, not skill. SBI does not have skill and will never have skill.

Edit: Oh remind me, how many guilds have xferred to SBI? And how many of you guys tried recruiting BP guilds to SBI?

Stay classy SBI.

I’m not going to lie this made me LOL IRL.

Not because it was a great post but because of the hypocrisy it contained.

BP is going to lose this week. Take your lumps and come back strong next week…who knows though you may be able to slide down into the 13 spot come WvW Leagues.

Fight club time at tcbl windmill area.

Yeaaah like 100 mag here, 2 FA and zero TC…

Come duel!

I would fight 1 vs 100 Mags

I am happy that rangers are being properly balanced.

I think Anet has some more nerfing to due but this is a step in the right direction

Ok I was recently forced into a hiatus away from thread here.

I noticed that Anet stopped touching this thread…..w/e I guess we going to have to wait until its live for full disclosure

:(

So its Wednesday and BP is losing by even more than the weekend

What gives!!!!??

By the way I’ve enjoyed reading your matchup thread. Thanks for the good reads

How’s BP losing this matchup?

Devon can we PLEASE have a finisher called PUGSTOMPA for ppl who perform well above expected outcomes????

Disappointed in this thread fellas….pick it up

Shoe.5821:

Are you joking? 7 vs 9 is normally a slaughter. How can you expect 12 vs 6 not to be?

well there are some incentives working in the league system that wern’t there before

say the #1 and #2 servers are in a league with the #12 server. if #1 goes after #12 to get some PPT, #2 has every incentive to cap #1’s undefended territory and/or screw over #1s assault attempt on #12’s keep. #1 and #2 are much more likely to keep their attention on the threats to their league standing rather than they were before.

No the PPT is coming from the weakest server. It’s an arms race on who can hold the most of the weakest guy’s kitten.

Also your scenario just says hey no pop dood take the beating while I try to win the match. You’ll NEVER win nor have an opportunity to win, but you’ll help me win.

kitten that. Base the winner off kills and let’s be done w/ it

bradderzh.2378:

We, the people of lower tiers, don’t mind testing our metal against tough odds. We do however mind it when the servers with the most players and best coverage gets the best rewards purely for the numbers reason only.

But as you said in another topic, wvw isn’t fair. All rank 12 has to do is throw enough matches to drop to rank 13 and get the best rewards.

So, as I’ve said before, we are still looking into ways to try and alleviate those problems, but that is also what WvW is like right now, so while this season will create new rewards and new incentives to play, it isn’t as though this is a brand new problem. We want to make it so that skill is more important than sheer numbers and we have some ideas. None of them are so easy/safe to implement that they are going to happen in the near-term.

There is are several ways to “safely” break up the zerg and increase the importance of skill. The zerg works because it can move just as fast and efficiently as smaller groups.

1) Remove all waypoints from keeps.

2) Completely redesign the maps. We need a map ( as a pure example) such as Fireheart Rise, or Lornar’s Pass to fight in. Lots of chokes, difficult to respond across the map to defend multiple objectives because of long winding paths ( especially with no waypoints). Multiple vertical levels of terrain so that a smaller force can get behind the lines, and it would be inefficient to respond to them as a blob as it will be very time consuming.

I would just say for every person a blob downs 3 of their own just blow up.

Perfectly balanced.

Heh let’s just base the winner off how much glicko you can gain in 7 weeks.

Ebay 1st place Gold League baby!!

DevonCarver.5370:

skeet.1390:

So do 4 leagues in NA. This eliminates the enormous population difference from server 1 to server 12 and 13 to 24.

If you really think the server that is ranked 12th at the start of this stands any chance against the top servers you are delusional.

I never said they did. However, I’d argue that they do in fact stand a chance against the 6th ranked server and the 5th ranked server. We are not trying to only ever match you up against your closest comparable server. That was what was happening with the system before and it was bad. If you are saying you don’t ever even want the chance to try and show your skill against a higher ranked server, then I don’t know what to say.

We will continue to look into ways to change scoring to try and even out some of the population based imbalances, but that is not an easy task and it won’t happen during the season.

No the 12 ranked server has absolutely zero chance against the 6th ranked server in NA.

Absolutely zero chance on winning….infact the last time Yaks Bend faced off against Dragonbrand they lost by over 200k

DevonCarver.5370:

I’ve consistently said we are doing 2 leagues in NA and 3 in EU. The leagues will be broken up strictly by world rating at the conclusion of the matchup prior to the league start.

Its still fail.

In NA you will have the 12th ranked server vs T1 coverage.

WTF

3 leagues is way better module with championship week to close out

Check EU.. we are already playing rank 14 servers vs rank 3 and also 20 against 8..

Ah but there is zero reward for winning WvW atm thus ultimately means kitten in the end.

This will reward server stacking/zerging. You will see major 2v1’s in the matchups as well……unfortunately it’ll be 2 stronger vs 1 weaker

Why are you still on SoS if you tire of PvD?

It’s not PvD against higher ranked servers.

The last 10 matchups you’ve had you’ve faced a higher ranked server 50% of the time. You’ve been the lowest ranked server 1 time.

I’m seeing more PvD than PvP for SoS

Ebay on the other hand is facing higher ranked 70% of the time with 50% of the time being the lowest rated server.

style.6173:

@Devon,

I think 2 leagues is fine for NA. I just really hope you factor in the differences in WvW population. There needs to be a different scoring system or the end results of the league will look pretty much the same as the current rankings.

I would go so far as to say kills give points.

You wipe that T1 Blob you just got your server 100 pts to your score

We literally can’t do three equal leagues in NA as there are 24 servers. That would leave us with 2 servers per league with no match up every single week.

4 leagues of 6 then. This will kill servers 7-12 who’s population will either xfer to top of Gold league or top of Silver League.

OR

You can institute a handicap system that equalizes things

Oh it’s gets better, so this “league” is actually a glorified achievement. I can’t wait to see what lovely objectives there will be on the checklist. Kill the grub 100 times, kill the centaurs 100 times etc etc.

We’ve actually just recently added the tech to add an achievement for complaining on the forums.

Best place to xfer is mid tiers. You’ll get a nice mix of roaming, zergballs, and down time.

On EU i have zero idea what servers this entails, but on NA I will say you’ll get this in the silver league if they go w/ current server rankings.

Another Jinkism that took off.

lawlz

The problem w/ current glicko under randomization is that a mid tier server who fights upper tiers is going to rake in the Glicko Pts due to “over performing” in the eyes of the system.

Look at the matchups now. Darkhaven is losing pretty significantly but gaining points.

Whats up with this week? Are no guilds confirming GvGs on the website or are matchups just that bad?

It’s only 2nd day of match up.

Takes time

fab.3298:

If EU is being split in to 3 tiers then the only viable tier is the mid one. If we go bottom there won’t be much to do outside of primetime, and if we go high we’ll need to deal with queues.

We’ll have 9 servers to chose all of who are guaranteed to face each other over a 7 week period… Sounds like it could be a fun and exciting time for the EU GvG scene. Assuming the orb mechanic doesn’t mess things up too badly.

I say the same w/ NA as well. You could even go as high as Silver League so WvW will have some meaning.

Sarrs.4831:

Jinks.2057:

How is this done…..I hope Anet does it based solely on WvW populations

It’s no secret that coverage = wins in WvW

There’s no magic quotient for “skill” in the leaderboards. If wins are determined by coverage as you say, then the leaderboards are absolutely an analysis of coverage, so they can just set up the leagues by the leaderboards.

I don’t think enough time has passed for the random glicko to work out the correct order of servers. The middle is still a jumble.

I’m pretty sure anet has better stats than what we have access to as well.
