sor ts daily update

The latest one is way better

So annoying when you go to buy another salvage kit.

Between this, skill lag and being unable to kick offline party members, is someone sabotaging Anet from the inside?

Tachenon.5270:

I’m holding out for Legendary Town Clothes.

All hail the golden Cook’s outfit!

Wow I thought this was obvious, but to all above he is complaining about condition specs.

Skill lag fixed.

Ability to purchase backpiece and trinket ascended items after x amount of wvw ranks (100 levels or something? And not with any stupid kitten laurels)

Wall of text

You display no guild/ charactername nor server, and most of the things you state are simply not true. This is also your very first post…ever. Claiming EB only has 12 ppl playing during primetime says enough about your knowledge of the maps and population.
Obvious troll is being obvious..?
After being confronted with #Magswag i can’t even give you 1/10 for that attempt.

JQ hits whatever target is the most viable. What we lack in numbers, we make up in map politics. We in [HzH] try to make map manipulation one of our strongest weapons. Sometimes not attacking SoR is the most viable option, at other times not attacking BG is the most sensible thing to do. Don’t stirr hornetnests when the hornets are all asleep or focused on another target.

I do agree, heck we even attack our self if need to. Its all tactical tactics that serves tactility. We in [SG] just attack whats more viable, Its tac-tastic!

Yep seen SG do this on more than one occasion. In particular tier 3 towers which have tactically placed dead mesmers that can be rezzed through the door.

We’ve recently upgraded our guild, so now everything [SG] does is considered tactical. I believe that is why we won last week.

Gratz on cheating your way into towers?

Second gate SG from JQ have rezed through, nice work.

Wow JQ going for the old gate rez. Think my favourite part was when the mesmer died jumping off the wall, good show SG.

I thought after LAST WEEK’S TRAINING, SoR would win with like 300-350K this week. What happened? People weren’t attentive or slacking off during the training?

Meh, they were just repeating what was said in the server meeting on the reset night before that…

… and probably grasping at straws to mend broken egos.

You must be new here, or you would have seen a similar pattern (of excuses) for pretty much every server who at one point was ranked #1.

Sorry i should have used the /s tag at the end.

It was painfully obvious what they were doing.

Meh, even still there seems to be a lot of people on BG/JQ/[non-SOR server] that keep bringing up or poking fun at things like “We aren’t playing for PPT” and “This is a training week.” I think it’s hilarious that people ON SOR are using these things as excuses when in fact they are taking these small phrases grossly out of context. All they are doing is providing people on other servers with MASSIVE troll bate for weeks on end.

EVERY GUILD should be constantly training. NO WEEK should specifically be a “training week”. That goes for every server. If you’re not learning from what you see on the field, you’re falling behind.

EVERYONE should be playing for fun, and not get super stressed over PPT. That just makes it less of a game, and more of a job.

/WaitingForTrollsToTakeThisPostOutOfContext

This was the entire point of my post. Tell your people to respect your opponents better. You lost a week, get over it. Don’t dilute other people’s efforts (including your own server’s militia) with lame comments like “we were on training”, “we don’t play for PPT”. Even as i was writing, a brave warrior from SoR comes with “BG were overbooked” and had the same people playing again and again. So being more consistent is a bad thing now lol? Gokitten it, BG people, stop playing so much.

My people? I see maybe one or two TSYM posting here occasionally. If you have a legitimate issue with a specific person in TSYM, let me know and I can make sure that the proper people are notified and that person is talked to.

If you want me to be a babysitter for everyone on SoR, you’re talking to the wrong guy.

Wasn’t SoR’s motto always like “We are a tight-knit social community” with stuff like family, etc. Now suddenly, you don’t want to be associated with the server as a whole?

A naughty GlackBate told me he snikes to liff wilberts. PlOx tell your smellly crother/bousin I don’t appreciated it.

MagiKarp.8201:

Haha, I was wrong last week…

Not one new guild, they were courting 14 bahahaha.

“We often turn away guilds for sake of balance” ahahaha my sides.

Hook, line and sinker right there.

Always use protection folks.

Hello old friends, and allies <3

Don’t get discouraged by the score, focus on winning fights and learning tactics from higher tiers.

It’ll only make u guys stronger, I highly suggest GvGing against any guilds u can to see their tactics, setups and movements and learning from them.

GL + HF all,

if any oceanic guilds wish to GVG ocx send me or any of the other ocx commander a PM, we can do 20/15/10/5s.

don’t get discouraged, bandwagon to a higher populated server

If you mean by bandwagon, they came to SoR, when it was losing, then yes, massive bandwagoners right there.

Yup still bandwagoning.

How dare an oceanic guild leave an oceanic based server looking for like minded players to play with and against.

Made it from bay North west outer to Veteran worm before I got ported right back to the gate. Anyone beat my distance?

Halberds could cool for warriors and rangers

Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
Downed state is fine
Stop your qq

Could be a nice buff being able to use my abilities on the other side of the map from the zergball clash, but I think anet are enjoying drawing hoodies for the cash to much to worry about this issue.

Won’t do any good, they will just hire more artists and make town clothes for the gem store.

What do artists and the gem store have to do with server lag? Oh that’s right. Nothing whatsoever. This, along with many other comments in this thread, are incredibly out of touch with how software development actually works and the limitations that exist in reality.

Artists designing items for the gem store or other content for the game has no impact on network programming or engine programming. They’re different parts of the team. Like with culling, this isn’t a simple issue that merely requires people throwing money at it. It requires a lot of time and resources to fix. The network programming for this game is incredibly complex.

Clearly an anet artist in disguise. Go make some more hoodies and backpacks for carebears to buy.

Hell no, really don’t care if you’re an apprentice toymaker tbh.

I can see why people are against it, but with gw2 combat mechanics it’s a pretty cool idea. Personally quite like soloing veteran and champion mobs, but the reward for effort is quite low other than personal satisfaction haha.
There are videos of people soloing path 1 hotw etc. but all before life steal nerfs.

I hope these arn’t in boxes simply because I don’t want them when I open boxes.

Won’t do any good, they will just hire more artists and make town clothes for the gem store.

JQ trying for more transfers? You can’t be serious…

Pay attention. Maybe your server can learn something…

No thanks I don’t enjoy queues. With the way JQ runs I may as well play CoD kitten zombies.

Edit: sorry to all zombies in call of duty for comparing you to jq players

Queues? We’ve been running with the out-manned buff on at least 2 BLs this week.

Yeah keep telling yourself to make you feel better. /backpat

Anet please fix your game. This infection needs a cream or something. Don’t even need to be near the “epic”(pressing 1 over and over) battles for skills to stop working.

BG = Most skilled
JQ= Used to be most skilled, 2nd most skilled now
SOR= Third most skilled server in tier 1, used to be 2nd most skilled.

We at JQ are “green” with envy.

I am currently discussing 2 300+ active guild members from t6 eu and 1 from the mid teirs. They wish to remain confidential until they can confirm.

JQ trying for more transfers? You can’t be serious…

Probably one of the best buffs to wvw tbh. Don’t give a kitten if someone is an apprentive toymaker, just blocking out precious pixels.

This was the most pointless nerf I have ever seen in a game ever. Guess only pve commanders and carebears afking in LA are allowed to enjoy aesthetic transformations.

Everyone who posts on this topic is an aweful player who should be zerging bags for their 2v1 skill lag zerg comp

So siege can hit 50 people but normal skills have a technical limit of 5? Both siege and skills lag when skill lag becomes active so….. Yeah…… Fix your broken skill lag…. Hire less artists and maybe some people a little more useful?

@ Oresh

Are you really that scared of losing? I am assuming you are from JQ.
Your post can only mean 1 thing – JQ wins by coverage.

What is wrong with BG or SOR getting more coverage? If all 3 servers are on equal footing, that would be the time when servers can finally say “X server’s players are more skilled”

Isn’t this what everybody like to brag about? Skill?

JQ wins by skill,tactic and having good commanders who are loyal to JQ. We care about our ppt and we take pride in being the top class in gw2. JQ also has the highest number of mmo vets around.

Hahahaha go res through some more gates emp

Cool emp going for more Wall rezzes?

Hipsters bringing back the rez through gate again.

Seriously the most annoying thing in game at the moment. Leagues in front the next issue, which is being unable to kick offline party members in wvw…

Victim.3016:

I actually wouldn’t mind trying GW2 with player collision, especially in WvW. The skill and coordination needed would be through the roof, it would be awesome. Definitely sort the men from the boys lol maybe loose half the player base Also roots and imob would be even more overpowered (imob is the bane of WvW atm, just slows everything down and gives a major disadvantage to solo/small group players. When a 40 man zerg is imob heavy and you are not ready for it… Game over.)

Hahaha this would make everyone so confused. Could make things pretty interesting in terms of flanking.

Well that’s the unfriendly way to put it haha. But yes you’re going to have to deny them what they want for a fight.

Otherwise organise dueling sessions behind the Mill on a BL, or sPvP.

Yes you should kill yaks on a map until some commander notices and runs you over with a zergball. Alternatively you can cap supply camps then wait 5 minutes and get run over with a zergball.

And during that time solo players try to stop you killing the yaks? Then when a zerg shows up you run off? If you get hit by a zergball you need to not tunnel vision.

Okay so we agree that the job of a small man / solo roamer is to kill fluffy red meat piñatas over and over. That’s great and all but you’re doing your realm a disservice by killing them solo since the more people that hit the yak the more points you get (and don’t quote Devon’s post saying that’s not true because he’s wrong).

Also 95% of solo players are there for map completion, so they will see you soloing that fluffy fatty and then turn and run toward the nearest jumping puzzle / spider queen skill point.

I used to run from zergs no problem before they introduced wxp, but they chase me across the whole map so now I just waypoint to spawn and find the next dolyak when pressing lookback shows me a blob of 50 baddies!!!

I don’t think we agree at all, keeps don’t reach tier 3 if any yaks are making it in. Sounds like your tier has a lot of problem or your solo build simply isn’t working out. Try sPvP maybe.

You get the most reward from capping objectives, which add points for your server. Why should they fight you where you are? Give them an incentive, defend a yak, camp the JP or something.

Most people are geared and traited for medium/large scale group fights, so usually won’t bother with someone with a well balanced 1v1 spec that simply roflstomps them.

If your a thief, nobody likes thieves.

cyyrix.6105:

A lot of people (including myself) are tired of the mega-zerg mentality that is currently dominating WvW.

I understand that it takes skill to coordinate the movement of a large group of people. Still, when a mega-zerg is so huge that enemies can do nothing but auto-attack (something only seen in epic 3 server battles until recently), the game loses a massive amount of its skill factor. Even with hardware/software upgrades to completely remove skill lag, I think many believe that these massive zergs trivialize the strategy of WvW.

With all of this in mind, here are some ideas Anet could consider that might dissuade the zerg mentality:

A lot of people complain that the maps feel too small. While it would be difficult to change the map completely, nerfing zerg movement would help to create the illusion of a larger map, and might encourage massive groups to split up forces. This could be done by:

A) Nerf swiftness in WvW. CDs, duration, AoE. Who knows? But zergs shouldn’t be able to run around with 100% swiftness uptime.

B) Increase the contested duration for waypoints. Zergs CONSTANTLY run to defend one keep, port, run to attack another, port run back to defend the first, etc. Decreased access to waypoints would mitigate this.

C) Charge for waypoint abuse. Another way to slow down zergs’ abuse of WP’s. Give players x free waypoints per hour, then start charging more and more for additional uses.

D) Slow down map hopping. I’m undecided on this one. It might adversely affect small, coordinated groups, too. With disconnects and whatnot, it’d probably be technical nightmare to implement anyways.

E) Turn on the melee attack assist feature with friendly targets. Drastic, but it sure would be fun to see! Can you imagine a 60-man zerg trying to rush out of a keep portal at the same time?

Other ideas not related to zerg movement:

F) Divide tower rewards based on the number of cappers.

G) Prevent large guilds from manipulating the “full” server status with blackout hours.

H) Continuously provide free transfers to players on the top two or three tiers.

I) Remove AoE limits on offensive skills.

I know a lot of the WvW forum warriors are members of these massive zergs, but I would appreciate any constructive discussion about these or other ideas.

A) Nope
B) Maybe
C) WvW players are already horribly poor
D) Sounds like longer load screens no thanks
E) Nope
F) Possible, seem more likely for people to get angry and simply tell others to “go away”
G) Pretty sure no servers are full atm, even Jade Quarry is Very High population
H) Nope
I) Nope, too many penalties for aoe unfriendly classes

Skill lag is incredibly annoying. If it ever dissapears I think some people will be suprised how much quicker organised guilds and groups will be able end these fights, rather than stalemate super lag map for the next hour.
Rather than free transfers to tier 3 servers which have these mega zergs, maybe more transfers to lower tiers for people who arn’t enjoying themselves. (It’s only 1800 gems if you are despising it that much)

The amount of emotes inside of bg garri when that server update came up hahaha

Confirmed TSym are moving to JQ for the 20k gold they were previously offered.

With one of the last of SOS’s NA teams out of the way I look forward to PPT YB are able to acheive during those hours and their overall score at the end of the week.

If TSym is such a bad guild why are so many people crying lakes and rivers about them leaving? Logic at it’s finest. Why don’t you all just admit your love already.

Man this yak was a pain with it’s 4 guards that kept spawning with it haha.

Yeah I’ve just been trying to purchase another account and each time I select pay with Paypal the discount disappears and the price bumps back up to normal. Wondering whether or not this is a promotion only available via credit card?

Edit: Went through the process via paypal and I was charged the correct amount of $40.00 USD for a copy. So it seems to be working.

After fighting back JQQueue zerg with our skeleton crew from hills we leave to defend lake. After losing lake we come back and find this at hills. Classy stuff right there.
