Guild Wars 2

I love the end :

We are serious about communication, but there appear to be a lot of people who would rather complain about communication than actually attempt to communicate.

hehe. after all the posts/cdis/suggestions all that is left is to complain.

sosgw2.com is the sos community site. check it out

Still moving guild to JQ. Got 15 transferred so far. Looking for GWEN and pick team leader.

We are approx 20-30 strong restarting on JQ. Come give us a try if you interested.

Fang Gaming
http://Fang-Gaming.US
Server: Jade Quarry

Who we are.
Fang Gaming is a family style guild that was created for Guild Wars 2, but also includes any other games that the members like to play. We understand that people have busy RL so whenever you do get the chance to play GW2 you know you will have quality players with [Fang]. We consider our attitude ‘business casual’. We don’t have required raid times & won’t rage on wipes but when you do have a chance to play with us we won’t waste your time. We play for fun & don’t tolerate drama. if you like what hear then Fang might be the guild for you!

[Fang] is built around group play. We like to do WvW ALOT! We are looking to getting started in GvGs as well. We teach new players and help them gear up for WvW as long as the player shows motivation and do their part.

How we are organized.

We are American based guild with members from US/CAN but have OCX players as well. Members are on during most times of the day. Communication is important so we use the tools available to us (Forums, Shoutbox, Teamspeak) to effectively coordinate. We provide structure and events but we are casual. So members can attend any organized event when they want or they can use guild chat to get something started impromptu.

Who we want.

We want people who are friendly and like getting on and helping each other out. People who enjoy using forums and TS3 to communicate. We do ask that you be at least 18, but there can be exceptions. We expect our members to prefer group play over solo & want to run with the guild when possible.

What we require.

We require our members to REP us ATLEAST during 4 server to 10 pm PST
We require our members to be helpful/active in Guild and TS3.
We require our members to participate in WvW raids (5-9 pm PST server time) if you are on & can run. If you can’t you won’t be kicked because we understand RL has priority.

TLDR:

• WvW focused
• Structure & Events planned but with a casual environment
• Community TS3 Server
• Dungeons’ & Orr temple runs & guild missions done when able/interest
• WvW/GvG is our priority

If you have any questions or concerns please contact me in game or here. Feel free to create a account on our forums even if you don’t want to join to chat/socialize.

Cheers

Luvpie

Great server. Great community. Can’t say enough about SoS.

wow… can’t believe i haven’t bumped this yet!

Osu.6307:

Here’s a solution. 20% of SoS please go to NSP, 20% go to IoJ, and the rest stay put. That way T2 and T3 stay in balance. I think I can speak for all of FA when I say we really are not enjoying this week. We’re not getting good fights, and NSP and IoJ are certainly not enjoying being on the receiving end of our frustration.

Why should SoS be the one to fall into T3 alone? If you asked me, I’d say that each of the four T2 servers should send away a guild. 4 guilds leave, 2 each to NSP and IoJ. See how the matchups go for a bit and then balance more from there. I think it’d be better to have T2 and T3 be closer (for example, T2 is ~1800 Glicko and T3 is ~1700 Glicko) than just keep the wide gap between the two.

If FA doesn’t like this week… and I know SoS doesn’t like it when they’re in T3… and hey, DB and YB don’t like stomping when they get moved down… the solution isn’t to just cripple one of four. The solution is to cut a bit from each.

At least that seems like the most obvious solution.

T3 is a symptom of YB in T2… they are a T1 style server without the pop of T1… They just need to be stacked more and will breathe fresh air into T1 as well… JQ T1 guilds should move to YB… JQ falls down to T3/4.. SoS/DB/FA new T2… BG/TC will have a new ppthard buddy YB… All is well in GW2

Curious how things stand in T1 NA right now…
Can someone detail the guilds in T1 (for each server) during NA and the numbers they run? Are fights blob vs blob or are guilds smart enough to run by themselves and not kitten jam every fight? Which server has the least number of NA and least amount of queues on reset?

Lord Kuru.3685:

Overall, there is a small percentage of players who are willing to sit in a tower doing nothing but watching for enemy movement.

Servers with bigger populations will naturally have more of these people, and servers with smaller populations will have fewer.

Currently, outside of maybe a 2 hour window on either side of primetime, populations plummet in WvW (I’m talking T3 and below). During these times, the bigger population server will paper every single tower that the lower population servers own. And once paper, they’ll stay paper.

After a couple days, no one on the smaller servers are going to queue upgrades because it’ll be a total waste of gold since they’re instantly flipped with no warning (remember: lower pop means fewer players willing to tower-sit).

And of course, the fewer waypointed keeps you have, the more your population decreases since each death means potentially a long walk back (especially in BLs).

So the smaller servers will lose population during the matchup due to lack of upgraded towers (so zero possibility for defense) and WPs. The bigger server will lose some WvW players to boredom, but it will always have karma trainers to replace them.

TLDR: karma train for the bigger server 24/7 after the 2nd day.

This.

Looking for server where I can pugmand (doesn’t matter how good/bad the players are). Won’t be playing often just occasionally unless something there really hooks me. Just looking to kill some time. I have zero interest in joining a guild.

If you have a possible landing spot then please contact me on this thread or through forum mail.

If you come to SoS you would be coming to a underdog server and be one of the few pugmanders (maybe 1 of 3 max). You would be able to build a militia following and have people follow you on ts3. You would have blobs/guilds to fight against FA and T3 structures manned by 10-20 acs against YB. GL in your search.

Transfers beware!

Those that transfer to SoS end up… http://i.imgur.com/jWLFCP4.jpg

haha… Anet thinks that is good ‘nerf’… 2 people can still perma disable siege. or 1 person can disable siege and then 2-3 ram hits and disable again… gg Nerf should have been more or the real problem of LOS disabling rams through gate should have been solved.

Won’t happen on the holiday, maybe tomorrow….

Other threads asking for same thing. 161 got fixed but his drunk twin 162 still chugging along.

ideas given to anet in CDIs is getting worked on for a expansion hopefully… i would pay for commander system overhaul/ui and wvw getting any attention

John Corpening.9847:

Hello Again,

I wanted to give you an update on some more changes that are coming out as part of the feedback we got during the Adopt-A-Dev program.

Siege disablers are getting their radius reduced from 450 units to 300 units. The skill recharge on siege disablers are going up from 5 seconds to 45 seconds and the duration that siege is disabled is going down from 45 seconds to 35 seconds.

The first change will make it harder for siege disablers to take out siege that is sufficiently spread out. The second two will guarantee a window that attackers can use siege if there is only one person disabling siege at an objective.

These changes are going out with next week’s build. Thanks again for all of your feedback!

John

What about requiring LOS? Siege disablers through gate is a problem..

162 still laggy.. need fix please

64.25.38.162:0 is still lagging… please fix it.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2n7fc0/server_ip_ending_with_161_can_we_get_some_data/

Acknowledgement atleast that 161 hardware was disabled.

Krypto.2069:

Update on the SOSBL…

The server IP address for our SOSBL is now 64.25.38.113. I’ve been battling there for the last 2 hours and it’s been lag/latency free since it was moved off the bad IP ending in 161. I spoke with a YB player on our SOSBL and he said they’re lag free too. Thank you, Anet. (I assume you actively changed the SOSBL server IP address.)

Now, EBG for Tier 2 NA (SOS, YB and DB) is still assigned to the other bad IP – 64.25.38.162, which is still full of lag. May we please have it changed to another IP address as well?

I cannot put into words how much FUN it is to play w/o the crazy lag and know that when u kill someone it’s not due to them lagging out or vise-versa.

Thank you and please help us with EBG.

+1

Please fix 162 as well and kill off 161
Also Thanks for fixing it..

When was the last time a WvW specific person posted anything on the forums.

michael, like 3 days ago.

daily nitpick complete!

Yeah… helping a player learn how to report exploits that has been in game since launch… really quality reply.

they have not had a team to deal with this kitten until recently

it seems they have pve nodefarmer/goldseller bots under control enough that they can expand that teams responsibilities finally.

that thread, despite your sarcasm, is actually really helpful. literally no one knew that sending their videos to exploits@ was completely useless because it is a black hole and is meant to deal with exploits and not griefing or hacks. and now, we have a guy poking his head in to say “hi i can ban people, tell me who needs bans like this.” it may be late, but its not too late yet.

everyone knew… maybe it’s something that should be added to support inside the game so people don’t forget and new people learn right away.

Since this section is largely ignored and not read. Please bump this

WvW practically unplayable
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/SOS-Server-Lagging/first#post4581012
gets 0 responses for players trying to actually PLAY the game as intended & game is unplayable to the point of people just not WvWing…

PvE/Quality of life
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Broken-Collections/first#post4581019
is a luxury ‘quality of life’ improvement & has little impact and gets multiple responses from ‘Forum Communications Team Lead’.

Issue that requires IMMEDIATE attention:
64.25.38.161 IP WvW map is laggy/DCs etc for EVERYONE
x.×.×.162 IP WvW map is laggy/DCs etc for EVERYONE
I have heard from several people that do Teq with TTS that 161 is known bad/laggy map for Teq as well.
Issue has been going on for the past 2+ weeks & no one has bothered to look at it or respond to it.

Issue that needs to be resolved to improve communication regards to WvW:
If you have no control or understanding of WvW then graile should rename to ‘Forum Communications Team Lead for PvE etc’ & assign someone who can actually communicate to people outside of PvE/Quality of life improvements. When was the last time a WvW specific person posted anything on the forums. A new person needs to be assigned so issues get fixed when reported or atleast acknowledged.

Does no one at anet work on the weekend? Why can’t you guys look at this or atleast acknowledge the kittening problem… Some people have dc’s in pve after a patch and it get’s fixed right away but stupid WvW has issues has issues 2-3 weeks in a row with certain server ips and you can’t bother to respond….

Oh, Luvpie, yes they do – Anet works on the weekend. It’s just things like WvW’s problems such as extremely lag/latency, constant disconnects, and WvW being down right unplayable for a couple of weeks on certain BL’s and EBG’s do not warrant the same respect or even a response from Anet… unlike things like wine, ale or steak collections having issues:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Broken-Collections

Anet, I think a rethinking of priorities is in order here. Not that wine, ale and steak collections don’t deserve some feedback, but kitten, I’d say WvW connectivity/game unplayable issues deserve some feedback too during the weekend.

What say you, Anet?

Where’s our QA for these debilitating WvW issues?

We feel like Rodney Dangerfield over here! And that’s no joke! :/

WoW… speechless.. gg anet

64.25.38.161 is unplayable map (BLUE bl in current matchup). It needs to be looked at. Please address this with a patch or whatever

64.25.38.161 is unplayable to the point have to sit on acs and press 1,2 to defend….

Peterson.8345:

can support what Nokaru said; my wvw guild (stationed in silver) disbanded few months ago so I decided to move to gold league… and now I am getting PMs from old members who still want to play wvw how are things in gold, since in silver for the most part of the day is absolutely empty, fills for few hours around prime time and then the population drops back to a few roams and an occasional zerg in the off hours… cant imagine how are things in bronze, that must be completely empty
and thats why people are stacking in top tiers, cuz the rest is slowly dying off, and if you want to play, you have to go to upper tiers…

+1. since anet doesn’t want to consolidate servers. players have to do it for them. pick on of top 9 and move…

Chorazin.4107:

No word yet from anyone, not even a ‘we are aware of the issue and are looking into it’

working as intended i assume then…

Crab Toss Champion | Sea of Sorrows
The Uncivil Rebels [RioT] | NA
Delayed [LATE] (guild leader) | OCX/SEA

Out of that crab toss champion is the most impressive

Still laggy as hell on 64.25.38.161/162….

lol. nothing is going to happen or will happen for wvw. just ride the time out and pray the next game is good

whoever gets those ips is kittened…

I can’t spend the thousands of Gems I have bought on skins because of the lag… Anet you are losing thousands of dollars in revenue because of lag. Clicks don’t respond…

Still looking for 1 thief, 1 mesmer for the GvG team.

Looking for good thief/mesmer/war for gvg team.

server ip 64.25.38.162

Everyone is coming back from AA since that turned out to be bad…

Hmmmm doesn’t look like… Mag still a ded sevr…

Everyone is exaggeration but most will come back. People will probably transfer to T1/T2 instead of trying to rebuild Mag cuz it will require 100s of people to coordinate to do that.

Stop giving them ideas….
Just need one good mmo with good pvp and gw2 wvw/pvp will die. Everyone is coming back from AA since that turned out to be bad…

2015 WvW updates:
Start CDI threads again for 3rd time and hope no one notices.

uberkingkong.8041:

Havent you seen the pattern? JQ, SoS, SoR. SoS leaves, another server enters (think it was BG), SoR leaves another server enters (believe it was TC), now its BG turn to leave, perhaps SoS will come into T1 and break the cycle, I know that if Yak’s Bend was to enter T1 it wouldn’t break the cycle at all, if anything after time passes by they’d find themselves into the similar predicament that BG is going to face soon enough.

unrelated but awesome … Speaking of patterns. SoS only server that ever ‘crashed’ all the way to T4 and rebuilt to stable T2… rest ET/HoD/SBI/SoR etc all collapsed and were never the same.

Looking for 1 thief, 1 mesmer for GvG team.
