Guild Wars 2

Has anyone (or could someone please) created a list of which guilds went to which servers in T8? I am thinking of moving one account or buying another one to put in this tier.

dank.3680:

Oh come on Oozo you know you guys got scared when I tried to solo you all on the bridge!! Who needs numbers I’m Dank!

Seriously though thanks for not lolzerging me and letting me play around and troll a bit with you guys. <3

It was obvious that you were not pushing an attack but just jumping around goofing off so of course we weren’t going to gank you. That courtesy seems to only work one way though since several xoxo tried to gank and stomp me in the same spot for no apparent reason just a minute later

We will probably be sharing this tier and matched-ups for quite a while so more fights and less chest puffing serves everyone better imo but w/e. Quite a few of our players enjoy the fight clubs so you guys can get a chance to do 1v1 fights against a lot of our players very easily.

Lots of attitude, not a lot of fights. Lets get back to the fighting part.

Last fight club was broken up by NSP’s [AoG], [MoB],[Jimi] and others. Did this one remain civil? They are usually very chill but it only takes one group of kittens to screw it up.

Partunu.9845:

We have ausies in [AoD], but they all have evening/night jobs, so I see them on in NA primetime. Never get on before that, so if they are present, they are unknown to me.

As far as people asking about the tri-tag ADQQBtsy… They do that just so they can taunt me with vids of loot bags, laying helpless in the field, and 1337 playing skills . Curse you ADQQBtsy. CURSE YOU and your 1337 skillz!

( Disclaimer : This message does not include Charcat, as we all love the Charcat. )

Charcat Charcat Charcat, everyone loves Charcat but you guys don’t have to clean out the enormous Charcat litter-box each evening. It’s a scatological nightmare.

I will miss many of the players from this tier but it is always fun to find some new opponents. I am particularly looking forward to battling my friends and former guild-mates in [Lost] on NSP

@Jordi and Skeet, you will have a big target on your head and I’m expecting the same treatment so polish up those dancin’ shoes and get ready to Rock n Roll cuase its gonna be great fun with plenty of DEATH and DESTRUCTION for EVERYONE! ! !

That is the actual sound that zergs make when they get that large, I have my “zombie zerg sound level” slider turned down some in my audio settings because its just too disturbing to hear while playing.

Thanks for the fun at DH BL tonight. Was fun fighting in garrison from all 3 sides.

Hehe was one of the best night in WvW. I’m very proud of HARD, and the fact we stole Garri right from under DH and DR noses ! Keep it IoJ!!

To be honest you didn’t “steal” anything, I “LET” you have it since I called to my team to not engage IoJ at the back door & let IoJ in to start fighting the Lord. My two groups were already heavily engaged with DH and I wanted to bug out at the same time that the back door went down to have DH & IoJ fight in the Lords room. Unfortunately DH wanted us sooooooo bad that they continued to fight us as we attacked in a different direction up the stairs and away from the Lords room. Go figure, guess they wanted payback for all the times at the tower that didn’t go their way. Anyway, very fun fights.

Stylii Elementalist (Slyvari)
Shoulda Rolled Kaineng (NoQQ) Leader
ADBstyNoQQ Alliance

Wow, this is the problem when you think your better than everyone else and im not saying all, but some guild members from this group really have kittenty attitudes. Nothing wrong with taking pride, even showing off is fine, but kitteny statements ^ is just unnecessary. IF you’re that great transfer to a lower tier and bring them up… When you use words like “I” you discredit your teammates.

This is coming from one of your fans who enjoy all of oozo’s videos. I apologize to those in this group who are great at skirmishing and this is not directed to any of those great players, just the few that need an attitude adjustment.

P.S. Kain is doing fine without you.

Most of the people in AD/NoQQ/Bsty are very chill and enjoy playing to compete and have fun. But every group of size will have a variety of individual personalities. And those that choose to post in forums will sometimes post comments in a way that reflects their own personality and point of view more than it actually represents the general “vibe” of the group as a whole.

Went back to fight club to see if anymore showed up and there were plenty there from DH and IoJ and of course DR always has players show up for FightClubs.

It was nice to see some different classes represented there as well. And of course people would re-roll to other characters to offer variety or better match-ups.

Hat’s off to those that participated and if they don’t do a WvW rebuild in the middle of the next one then maybe we can get a few group vs group battles going.

I came and only saw one DH and one IoJ and lots of DR so I left. Did more IoJ and DH come? I think it was scheduled to go for a couple more hours.

Calli.6309:

Fightclub Update

When: Thursday, 8pm-1am NA primetime
Where: South camp of chosen borderland

Around 10-15ish participants already interested in DH. Any takers from DR and IoJ? We’ll be stuck together in this tier for a few weeks so might as well do some regular fightclubs once a week. :>

Mail me in-game/forums and I’ll let you know details!

NA has several timezones btw so maybe use “server” time or otherwise narrow it down some.

Lol, now you can really see the size of these zergs. Some impressive numbers fielded tonight which I’m sure was a lot of folks interested in the WvW update coming back.

Update significantly improves gameplay. Adjust your settings to match your computers capabilities and finally be able to see enemies actual numbers and see them from a distance.

New WvW armor cost is quite affordable also.

Very happy atm and glad I took my computer to work today do a little stealth wvw

Walabone.6713:

Archer.1658:

So much for that walabone guy, I made his record a little less exaggerated 150-10. Please let me know if you’d like your k/d to go down further.

inb4 Mesmer confusion is OP
inb4 Ranger is OP
inb4 Guardian is Op
Inb4 Ele is Op

Yeah all of these professions beat him.

Yeah, your Mesmer is broken. Confusion is borked in pve/wvw. And I play a warrior. I have literally no chance.
You fought me on your Guardian once. It was a close fight and you got me at the end. Then I didn’t see you again. Would love to see you back.

And I beat every single one of those classes, btw. So Idk what you’re taking about. Beat mesmers, rangers, guardians, and eles. I lost a couple duels, given. But it happens.

Good fights to everyone else.

I should have read more before I posted. Looks like I missed seeing your dominance in 1v1’s. So you lost only twice? I think that means you must have won 60+ fights then given your 150+/5 ratio. Grats and sorry I missed it since it is rare to see someone dominate all the other players so easily.

Walabone.6713:

Well, I’m being humble. It could very well have been 3-1. And we probably got more than 150 kills. I really only died 5 times in 6 hours… and that was only because I was really drunk. Lets just say that Ebay was putting swords on the maps, and we had no where near those numbers (only 5 [WAR] ever in the zone). Doesn’t really matter. We were all just having fun, and I got home from the party and was feeling pretty awesome and wanted to talk some silly trash before I passed out.

But seriously, where does AD/QQ/BSty play at? I haven’t seen any DR all week! I really wanted to skirmish with you guys (huge fun of all your videos!).

We usually start playing about now and go for a few hours. Are you Eruo timezone? Might be hard to meet up if you are. I’m not sure if you are serious in your boasts or not but usually its pretty easy to set up 1v1’s. I’m not sure you would be able to maintain your 150+/5 ratio though (and let’s not forget you were drunk handicapped so who knows how many 1000’s of players you would beat sober…….sigh)

Looking forward to seeing [WAR] in the field where we can bask in your self proclaimed glory (at least for a few seconds)

Regarding the points:

It just doesn’t matter cuase all the really good looking girls would still………etc etc

It’s nice to see some of our friends from Ebay again and I’m looking forward to some well attended and interesting fightclubs this week.

I’m also really enjoying the more aggressive smaller roaming groups that we’ve seen tonight. There is a noticeable difference from what we had the last couple weeks.

Fightclub. Devona’s Rest Borderland @ windmill.
Starting now.

Ouch, getting kind of heated here and that means that there is really only one good solution. —-- FIGHTCLUB ! —--

For some reason the act of smacking and getting smacked down 1v1 helps people relate and respect each other better. Maybe it’s because you rarely see the epic trolls and egomaniacs show up to these things but I like to think that its something more basic and simple. It is easy to see that players from any server share an interest in a good fight or even just a display of honest effort. It is not unusual to get excellent advice from an opponent after a match and I have never been to a fightclub that didn’t promote a general sense of comradery amongst the participants.

Sounds like one is planned 2 hours before reset.

Rising Dusk.2408:

Just had lots of fun with [AD] (and an [EDGE] mesmer!) dueling after hours. You guys were a blast! Thanks for the good times.

Yes, it was fun tonight. Maybe we can do a little dueling tomorrow before the 3 servers go their separate ways. There is less than 16 hours left of this matchup.

A big thank you to the Necro and Engineer that showed up and to those of you that came back on alt characters so that we had some pretty good variety beyond the usual mix.

Could use some more sbi or ioj for impromptu fightclub at the windmill in DR BL.

Might be the last chance for a while to fight with each other if the scores continue as predicted. So this is a good chance to have a farewell FIGHTCLUB

Sometime tomorrow would probably be good timing. You might even get a chance to smack down a “forum warrior” or just chill and practice fighting different classes since most people that actually show up to these things are pretty easygoing.

Sometime around 8pm-9pm server time and/or maybe even one during “Euro” hours between 11am-1pm server time?

Post if interested and we can find a BL at the traditional spot.

[kiwi] you seem very interested in spawn camping in ioj. Maybe you would have more fun doing some fightclub. I think its more fun and you have many many members which should make for some interesting match ups

maybe IoJ at the windmill?

BTW if you are doing Fightclub, try to leave a spot in your party to invite the other server opponent.

jazzllanna.1278:

Well I have had a bottle of wine.. but ok I can die for a bit :p where is this windmill again?

lol. i have had epic runs of losses and wasn’t even drunk. anywhere is fine but i’m thinking Devona’s Rest BL at the windmill.

FIGHTCLUB! ok, kind of bored. Anyone from SBI or IoJ up for this tonight?

Fightclub anyone? just choose a BL or we can default to Devona’s Rest BL to allow easier access for IoJ and SBI.

The usual place.

Krash.9486:

Is there going to be another attempt at another fight night? I think we should try to make it a regular thing. Is fun and I think it will help ppl learn to counter other classes in open world PvP better than sPvP or even group fights in WvW

I’m up for it pretty much anytime I’m online other than our guilds prime time (5:30-8:30pm server time).

The more people that come, the easier it is to find interesting matches. There is plenty of space and it is way more chill and laid back than you would imagine if you haven’t done this kind of thing or just want to watch.

Spyware.9314:

Kyuzo.4675:

having some difficulties with people being able to distinguish players coming for fightclub vs people just attacking the camp (well basically just one guild seems to have this trouble) Looks like some have arrived so it’s back on.

people having trouble getting here can just pm i guess

Looks like you should pay a bit more attention next time. Thanks.

I saw what was going on fine and still think it was lame and your post (thnx) just confirmed it.

Anyway, some SBI folks did come and had some fun. Would like to see some IoJ here

Fightclub. windmill. if anyone interested

It would be best to have it on the BL where the host server is not contested much since the host server has the farthest to travel. So that means SBI borderlands southcamp windmill should be fine.

Hopefully we can get some folks to show up and do a fightclub thing tonight. I’m hoping maybe ~8:30pm server time? Things really slow down after that time in my server so most group activities are done.

Fightclub things don’t really prove anything btw but they do tend to promote better relations since there are kind of informal standards of conduct etc. Obviously some classes match up more competitively than others but if some variety shows up then you can usually find someone to spar with.

ps Try to leave at least one spot open if you are in a group so that you can chat with whoever you are dueling before and/or after the duel. (not fair to thieves if you stay in party during duel).

Any borderland is fine but access is easiest for players from outside their home BL so they can just scoot out the side exit from spawn to get their quick and easy.

Pretty sure it is “… if more than 25 people are in combat in the area”. So that means 25 total from both sides (probably including NPCs) if it is two servers fighting but I admit that it is unlikely that the door counts as a combatant in a PVD situation.

Went to bed but tomorrow night or the next will be fine. Was in IoJ but SBI bl would be fine also.

James Foringer.2906:

I wanna see one of you guys come up to t4 and fight us!
-pk

I don’t remember any [pk] players attending the fightclubs that Ehmry did when we were in the same tier but maybe it was a different timezone than when I play? Perhaps there will be another opportunity in the future, meanwhile i’m sure there are plenty of opponents in your current match up that would be happy to set something up. ( btw, I have some vague memory of a post and video that [pk] put on the wvw forum a few weeks ago but I can’t remember the title)
——————————————————————————————————————————-

Anyway, I’ll try and remember to put a post up tomorrow to see if anyone is interested in a “fightclub” and I’ll do it before it gets too late in the evening.

Anyone interested in reviving fight club at the windmill? It generally improves guild/server relations imo. It’s a little late at night atm but i’ll hang for a little bit.

The fighting was fun tonight during prime time. Had some nice back and forth with IoJ and SBI. SBI is starting to adapt and realize that they can compete and fight in smaller numbers (which will quickly make them much better at it also).

I hope that SBI can stay in the tier long enough to enjoy the fights but the scoring system might not allow for that because of their better timezone coverage.

Maladon.5760:

snip

Apparently the spelling as well as the meaning of “whining” has escaped you. However, your post still managed to answer my question. Thanks

You have not only corrected my mistake with the extra “n” but also made me reevaluate your recent posts that I mistook for simple trolling. (I have yet to decipher their hidden qualities but there must be something of worth there right?)

Maladon.5760:

I’ve been wondering this for awhile now so I’m just gonna ask…

Is Devona’s Rest always this whiny?

I thought I would try and answer but I got sidetracked by all your whinning

Maladon.5760:

I don’t think it’s the score that’s brought anyone back. It’s the fact that we’re not being camped at our portals most likely. Very few people want to step out into the WvW zone and instantly be targeted by siege equipment.

Maladon.5760:

Does the “D” in DR stand for “delusional”?

Maladon.5760:

I think this Oozo guy is a bot, he says the same things over and over

People must realize first that there is nothing specific to one server or another that grants that server all the worst or best players. Each server has some very good and some very bad players. But there will be different skill sets developed based on what those players do with their time in game.

If you are in a higher population tier then you will be spending a good amount of time playing in large groups and learning to participate in that style of play. And since a significant portion of this games mechanics are based on responding to visual cues then you will be “dumbing-down” your play since it is impossible to see much of anything through the spell effects and you are guaranteed to be standing in both white and red fields with boons and conditions and aoe/shouts affecting 5 random players at a time etc etc.

But the good news is that people don’t need to play like that to survive in the less populated tiers so they will eventually adapt and enjoy a more interesting play style if they get to stay in lower populated tiers for awhile.

Basically the whole WvWvW 24hour point scoring system has its issues so I try to just have fun and not get too caught up in the “must find a night crew to win” game.

Kraigan.6057:

Lot of new faces on DR last night. What’s the story?

To whom it may concern,

Please do not transfer to DR. No offense intended but the last thing people want here is to get bandwagon’d up into the higher population tiers.

The gameplay looks to be a lot less fun there and it seems to encourage a certain timidness when outside the comfort of a large groups.

No queue for any map in DR and massively outnumbered as per usual. So what was accomplished with the reset/no reset/new math/ no new math?

Bored and could use some experience trying to duel. back at the windmill. try and leave a slot open on teams though so we can chat before or after. makes it a lot more fun.

IoJ windmill atm if anyone wants to come. (there were others here earlier but my comp needed a restart so when i came back all had left)

The impromptu fight club was fun. But how many times were we interrupted with random players charging in swingin?

The people that came were easy going and it was nice to mix with players from the other servers and be able to try different match-ups.

(kind of a novice, but I’m learning)

Joiry.2504:

Its not the first (reset) week matchup people are concerned about. I think everyone understands the first matchups will be the same as if the rating points remained, just they will be set to 1500 each.

Ie, JQ, SoR and SoS will be in the rank 1 matchup after the point reset (assuming current scores hold). That first week will be fine. Its the next several weeks which will be ridiculously unbalanced. The loser(s) of the first week T1 match may find itself in T6, T7 or even T8, against servers which they will steamroll. And a low tier/pop server may find itself in the top tiers. Mid tier servers that happen to lose will be down in the lower tiers, probably getting steamrolled in the second week by the artificially fallen high tier servers, forcing them in low tiers for extra weeks until they can finally climb back to their deserved position.

Who the reset really benefits is servers in too low of a tier (cough, Kaineng), rocket them to first place, where they will get a few weeks to build up a ratings buffer facing servers that shouldn’t be up there until their real competition climbs back up.

I missed the part where anet said that they will give each server 1500 points. And I have no idea what kind of math and adjustments they are making the their system to arrange the next match-ups though they have said that there will be weeks of adjustment.

Why does everyone assume that the “reset” for the new ratings system will mean that ANET just randomly assigns servers to tiers?

Mike Ferguson said “….If it helps, think of the last few months as the preseason games that determined the initial seedings for the season opener (to use a really generic sports metaphor that is in no way indicative of future plans)……”

Which in the first sentence sounds like they will use current predictive match-ups for the reset (which makes perfect sense) but then he covers his bases by parenthetically sayings it was just a metaphor that is not indicative of future plans. (sigh) I guess we will just have to wait and see though I don’t understand why they wouldn’t just explain the first match-ups and remove all the guess work.

Wizardauz.3761:

None shall question our beloved Great Sky Lord Flame Ram. His righteousness will not stand for heresy and speculation. He defies the undefiable (Gravity). And Has blessed us with his favor.

Edit:

Just wanted to say thanks to all the NoQQ, Btsy, RegA and AD that we’re able to show up to the Fight Club last night. Had an awesome time dueling you guys. Hopefully another one sometime soon.

See you guys on the battlefield.

We were just kind of going that direction and didn’t know there was a fight club thing going on. But it was pretty obvious that people were just hanging out and dueling (I guess not so obvious to the IoJ groups that periodically would run in the middle of things swinging lol)

Anyway, I had a great time and got a chance to talk with some of the guys from Ebay in party chat. I had not dueled before so it was a great learning experience for me. It was nice and casual and I got to watch and learn a bit about how different classes and players approach controlled 1 v 1.

Btw, anyone know what time the update will happen?

Why can’t a servers fluid WvW population be a factor in the rating system? I mean any effect at all is still better than none. It seams like it would be pretty hard to make the system worse than it already is by introducing that one extra variable (which is a pretty fundamental thing to WvW).

[WM] using bots? That sounds ridiculous to me. Why would any botter use the same account to bot and play WvW? Makes no sense. And if people really were banned from false reporting then that is totally f’d up and should be investigated.

I suppose that it might be possible to inadvertently share an IP address with some people that botted and get banned via the IP (like a college dorm where many people share the same IP address). But I would think that a lot would have to be done to ban an entire IP instead of just individual accounts.

If false accusations were made and people really got banned then it is extremely disappointing and I feel sorry for those that now have to wait out the appeal process.

Shifted.6912:

Nice, can we get reduced spell effects now?
I think that’s the biggest fps killer..

Having the ability to adjust the amount of spell effects would also make the game play better imo. Many of the skills we use have visual cues that skilled opponents are looking for and react to. I’m pretty sure that conditions like burning were not meant to be a cloaking device. I think it encourages a bit of button mashing from players when all that they can see is a mass of spell effects even in relatively small groups.

I didn’t think that people were so much following the bonuses as following the winning servers and therefor brining whole guilds that populated PVE when they wern’t in WvW. HoD had huge waiting times to get into WvW back when the TA was there and I’m sure players worked on character development or farming while they waited. I’m sure that PVE was busier there also because the game was newer back then but there is no question that there was a massive migration away from HoD for WvW and it did affect PVE.
