Guild Wars 2

I get around 10-20g per night which is anywhere from 5-8 hours played. That being said I can earn about the same amount in 3 hours of doing my dungeon paths so.

I really hope HoD is everything people say they are.

I actually hope they can pull off a win against us.

I doubt it, but here’s to hoping!!

Whether we can win or not is besides the point it is going to be one hell of a week. Good luck FA bring your best.

HoD queue’ing maps in NA prime doesn’t mean much.
Most silver league servers will do that for the first few weeks.
What’s HoD’s OCX/SEA/Euro like compared to their competitors?
And does HoD have the organization/experience in fighting upper tiers guilds and servers? The whole HoD scenario screams trainwreck when leagues end.
I have no doubt HoD should be able to finish in the top 3 in silver with their population… the fun will be watching what happens when seasons end and they’re up against t3 servers full time, maybe even t2 servers.
Although I guess if there’s no repair cost anymore, I guess it won’t be quite as frustrating getting constantly run over by organized servers

Their unlucky that probably the most hated/unwanted guild in NA happened to have transferred to their server.

Must be from CD.

Nah , i actually think Deli is from Dragonbrand , you gotta snap out and get your facts right , its the general idea of what your guild looks like now , good luck in the tourneeeeee gusies

Well Daeronz with the amount of hate we get from you guys on the official forums, the matchup forums, and CD’s forum its hard to tell whos who anymore. I even heard you guys have an obsession with us on your Teamspeak. We don’t really care what others think of us we play this game to have fun you all have some personal vendetta against us and have manipulated others into thinking we are a bad group of players.

Done with PvF tournament will decide who is the better players so good luck to you Daeronz and all of CD. Though you don’t deserve my respect you still have it I really can’t wait for some grudges to be settled and this whole thing put to rest.

In 7 days, 8 hours, and 20 minutes from now; HoD will learn where the wall is. I suggest using this week to improve and run training.
Seriously, I’m kinda rooting for you guys but there seems to be a lot of naivete about FA, even from Silver League veterans from last season.

Well while its true we have a lot of bad karma training pugs in EBG once week two hits they will all fall apart so we can get our organized guilds in there. Trust me when I say we are going to be putting up a very big fight in the weeks to come. Win or lose its all about having epic battles and having fun doing it.

Pyroathiest.4168:

People keep saying that HoD has multiple maps queued, etc, etc. If that is actually true, then HoD players must be the absolute worst group of WvWers in the game.

HoD is beating NSP and CD, sure, but they’re not winning hard compared to some other matchups. YB and FA are both winning their respective matchups harder than HoD is winning theirs, and both YB and FA are in higher tiers (yeah, I know SoR is skewing things). HoD obviously isn’t even close to this all-conquering beast that people seem to think it is.

Yaks bend is fighting SoR which has very little WvW population because of the implosion. BP is also in that matchup and from what I have heard has lost quite a few guilds as well. FA is a tier 2/2.5 like OP stated that has ridiculous coverage and is facing IoJ and SBI for the first time in a long time. HoD is currently fighting CD and NSP all three servers got free transfers so as far as we know NSP and CD could have more players then BP or SoR at this point so stating we aren’t winning our matchup as much as the others is a bad thing is kind of a bad way to look at it. To be honest I could see NSP and CD beating both SoR and BP and possibly even YB at this point from what I have been told about YB losing guilds so really until we get into leagues we just do not know.

Good luck in silver though this should be some good interesting matchups.

Rallybots is what keeps zerg busting groups alive. And response to spiking a player to make it rally. This kind of change would do nothing for the group I run with since we have dedicated thiefs spiking it would only hinder pug groups or less organized groups. Rallying is fine if you take something that is this big out of the game this late into its life its going to get a ton of hate.

BALA.1520:

u gonna put a brand new hardcase door on ur wooden shed or a brand new stone wall first?

ye thats what i tought

O this is gold.

But to make a real post on it. You kind of said it yourself it is the smallest part of the structure. You can only hit it from one side which makes it much easier to defend. Walls are first because you can hit them from anywhere virtually while gates you have to get up close.

League rankings were decided last week.

That being said Dragonbrand is in gold and Fort Aspenwood is in silver so yea it was already done and over with.

Meglobob.8620:

How do you make lots of gold in WvW?

I hate to break this to you but you don’t…

If you want gold you after go flip/trade stuff on the trading post or run some dungeons/world bosses/fractals. Then you spend it in WvW…

I get 10-15 gold a night from zerg busting and capping towers. I salavage everything blues greens, rares, exotics not above 1.3 gold. I make as much in 4-5 hours of WvW as I do doing my daily dungeon runs.

Servers for leagues were decided at last weeks reset this week is an intermediate week.

I would assume it would be when a patch hits. So 9ish server maybe earlier maybe later no ETA as far as I know.

Straegen.2938:

Being an off NA guild (last time I was fighting them/on that server) they will most likely elevate the PPT for any server in tier T3 or below. Been a while since I interacted with them but they always seemed nice enough to me.

We are looking forward to fighting BP and the other silver servers we have not seen in awhile. It should turn out to be some epic fights. Good luck in season 2.

Guess I have to fix my signature now O.o

kRAVen.4195:

Crystal Desert and HoD have the higher populations in the 13-15 spots at your time. HoD is a single zerg/karma train server type of server that will cause 25 stacks of boredom when you face them. Come to CD. We offer the greatest mix of everything.

Not going to bash my own server but misinformation is not the best. We blob/zerg just as much as HoD. They might karma train during the day 1 est-8est but we do the same at night. It all depends on what time you play.

Both servers have small havoc guilds that roam and both have giant blobs at their peak time. CD is just lacking players for EST afternoon a few more and we will have a solid pug group that can do stuff during the day instead of waiting at night.

Andrew Clear.1750:

Can’t wait to see which t4 servers are going to tank on purpose to get into t5 for thos free transfers. It really would be a smart move, so they could get some population back for when the leagues are done.

T4 is ahead in points by almost 200 points so tanking that hard in one week wont happen. They can try but it wont. My interest is seeing if NSP or SF takes that last spot less then a point difference in prediction.

mango.9267:

I think this is a terrible policy. With the guilds BP/YB have lost/are losing, I suspect they’re actually competitive with HoD/CD, maybe even a bit weaker. Yet, due to the terrible RNG, BP/YB don’t have enough time to lose ratings, so if guilds do bandwagon to 13-15, BP/YB will be hit the hardest.

Moreover, I’m also against this as someone on IoJ (currently rank 10). We worked our kitten off post-Leagues to climb the ranks, and now we risk getting screwed over by free transfers. I understand the rationale, but Anet needs to look beyond Glicko ratings before deciding to blindly make 13-15 free.

BP/YB are where they are because of the coverage they have. CD and HoD have very little coverage during NA EST 12-7pm. The free transfers will help bolster those timezones up (hopefully) so we can compete fairly with BP/YB/Isle of AC’s. I have no doubt CD can win in ZvZ battles against higher servers in our tier but with the way PPT is and scoring there is no way in hell we would be able to compete for score. We would have some pretty epic fights to say the least at night but during the day you would karma train our BL and side of EBG with minimal efforts. This is to make it fair for those servers who lost people to Tier 1 and 2.

Good luck in Season 2 everyone!

Commander tags should not be just 100g they should be obtained to be used in WvW by atleast level 150+ if not higher. I am sick of seeing PvE commanders hop into WvW and split my zerg because pugs don’t know who to follow, and then get wiped because they don’t know what they are doing only to make the pugs lose morale.

Straegen.2938:

Laylie.5703:

I don’t see whats wrong with tapping the gate 95% of the good WvW guilds watch the timer then tap it. Yea a few get through but is it really all that fun taking none defended keeps?

Having to “tap” a gate is just a workaround to the bug. It is not inherently obvious to players they need to do this so it is either a bug or a user interface issue. Either way it is classified, a keep should be contested when it is being actively attacked.

This has nothing to do with undefended keeps. Sometimes they are defended and sometimes they are not when this issue creeps up. Players being able to continually respawn while a keep is being attacked because someone doesn’t know this trick isn’t the way this is meant to work.

Until I hear a dev say this was not how it intended to work I won’t consider it a bug. If it is there is a very easy solution to fix it which why it isn’t already is a reason why I think it is working as intended. And they can’t continually respawn it takes time for the waypoint to open and if you can’t get in down them and secure it in that time or atleast secure the waypoint and kill them as they come in then you shouldn’t deserve getting a fortified keep.

Straegen.2938:

Laylie.5703:

Number 3 is not a bug. The waypoint opens because the defense timer completes its only open for a split second all the attacking group has to do is go tap a gate.

I think “NotKalkz” is referring to the fact that a server has to continually hit a gate to keep a waypoint contested even if they are in the Lord’s room wailing on him.

As for the 3 minute window, not a big fan of that mechanic either. IMO as soon as outer or inner is breached, a waypoint should stay contested until it isn’t. It should only contest in that scenario as well so no more “knocking on the door contests a waypoint”.

EoTM was a complete waste of resources imo. It was used to bypass ques for WvW because of stacked servers. Instead of allowing guilds on high pop servers to get free transfers to any server they wasted their time on this. It is essentially a karma train for PvE heroes. It takes away players from lower pop servers and leaves us with very few on the regular WvW map. Plus I will be 100% honest in saying none of my friends on Blackgate or Jadequarry do EoTM while waiting for their que. They go do other things because thats how much EoTM sucked.

I don’t think defense is weak at all right now. I think the lack of real choices as to what to use is. I am sick and tired of seeing absurd amount of AC that is enough to take my full PVT geared Guardian down in a matter of 2-3 seconds. That is not what defense should be. Sadly that is all I see now a days.

As for cata doing damage to siege that was taken out because it was way too OP. You can’t hit that cata inside the tower but it can hit your rams? Nah no thanks man.

I know we are not tier 7 or 8 but Crystal Desert has a strong Oceanic crew as well as a lot of NA members who stay up during that time. We are currently tier 5 so a bit higher up but we rarely que except on reset nights.

No I don’t want to have to type more then I have to while commanding. I would much rather see a macro system so I can make my own keybindings for phrases like Push, Stack, Might, Guard Marks, etc. This is way too overly complicated.

So half of my server is waiting outside of a LA portal trying to get in can someone explain to me what on earth we are supposed to do.

Im confused I came back to this game after a long break to see the state of dismay SPvP is in. I thought this game was supposed to be the next big esport. Instead of talking about how the league system is how about you guys balance the current classes. Add more gametypes. I love conquest style gametypes but to have only one game mode is quite stale. Increase rewards for winning PvP 20s for 15 minutes is pretty awful. Once these things are stated then move onto the league system.

As for WvW and EoTm don’t bring anything from EoTM into WvW for people like myself who do hardcore WvW we do not enjoy EoTM at all except to get badges of Honor which for some reason are stupid easy to obtain in there.

PvE is fine where it is at balance everything else first then focus on PvE.

Crystal Desert- KöMÉ, SoV, DNA, VII these are really the only ones I see if I missed your guild sorry don’t see you much.

Laylie.5703:

I understand that but even losing 10-15 people for our server is debilitating at times. We don’t normally get que times except peak every now and again and its pretty much a ghost town.

The map have been out for about a day.
People always spend some time on new stuff.
The REAL WvW will still take place, and those people that actually play WvW for the sake of WvW will play on the real maps.

Again I understand that but like I stated above even losing 10-15 people that normally WvW to it a day is crippling for us especially during the day time.

Smooth Penguin.5294:

Server population isn’t based on who WvWs or not. It’s how many accounts are housed there. So if you’re suffering from low numbers in WvW, that means everyone else is PvEing. I suggest you make some friends, and try to recruit more PvE players to do WvW.

I understand its not based on WvW alone but the fact of the matter is go on blackgate see how thriving that server is then go on Darkhaven and see how thriving that server is. There is a huge population gap in it. Not every server is still Very High in population but because its set like that it is still 25 bucks for the transfer vs what it really should be that makes it so more people don’t transfer.

Ignavia.7420:

Well, the map is new and everybody is checking it out. Give it two weeks and many people are going to be back to the original WvW maps.

I understand that but even losing 10-15 people for our server is debilitating at times. We don’t normally get que times except peak every now and again and its pretty much a ghost town.

So the attempt to alleviate ques in WvW has worked for the most part with the introduction of EoTM. The only thing wrong is the fact that for us lower pop servers that for some reason you still have set as Very High pop (probably to cash those more exspensive transfers) we lose people in the real WvW to the EoTM which promotes the ability of a single guild on an enemy server to just log onto WvW after they see our commanders join in EoTM with that wonderful addition to see what WvW map were on. After that they have no trouble flipping fully fortified towers because we don’t have the numbers to push them back. I understand its a new update and people are testing it out but since there is no cap on how many can join it and it is the “newest” content people are going to be in it for awhile leaving it so an enemy guild just waits to see when one of the commanders joins in it or even into another BL. To top it all off this whole servers playing with other servers is the worst joke in the game. The mentality of other commanders is no hes on a different server follow this guy hes on our server is absolute garbagio. Im sorry to see after a year and a half of the game being out this is the only WvW update we had and for the most part it really is not fun to do. It is another champ train like Queensdale.

You could have really fixed the WvW ques if you had your community managers talk one on one with the bigger guilds and promote the possibility of a free guild transfer to a lower pop server or give added bonuses to people who switch to the less populated servers which again all the servers are Very High for no apparent reason.

Im on my friends account since he is kindly letting me use it since I don’t remember my account details. My ticket is #260599 and I made it on the 14th. I would really like to play and this waiting is really really getting tiring. If you need any more info just respond and I will gladly give you it!

This has been resolved went back to my apartment at school and got my old laptop which had the email I was missing 2 attempts on my most used passwords and I was back in my account no need to respond to my ticket now thanks though.
