HoD lost a lot of their top guilds because they packed up and left because they got the “we beat the game” mentality.
Queue’s have been instant all week + weekend when usually it’s an hour++ queue which is a pretty significant drop on players.
Hmm, I’ve heard a few tell me they’ve been in long Q’s all weekend and were surprised at this due to some guilds leaving. I guess only Anet Q data really knows.
In Anet’s eyes , there is no “off-hours” as it’s peak hours somewhere in the world. However, there needs to be some type of “real” undermanned buff whereby no matter the time of day, a server with 500 can’t map cap all the points vs. the server that has just 200 on. What type of system that could properly balance the buff/player ratio is up to Anet to figure out, but something can be done to make it more balanced for all sides/timezones/server populations.
He reads intomthings and creates things for one reason. He’s a troll. Time for us to move on from the trolls and enjoy the battles. JQ has really stepped up. HoD regardless of the true state of things is a force to be reckoned with no matter what. /thread.
@blinkThe one pic and one video shows nothing. At the time I posted JQ had all 3, they had all 3. This isn’t about apologizing this is about attacks made by some on an entire server in the official forums that are borderline TOS violations. JQ has speed hackers. HoD had a flying hack, orb exploit going on two weeks ago. We should run to the forums every time we see these and make I thread with the title “JQ exploits”
This is not what Anet has asked for us to do. They have closed threads just like this one and I expect it will be closed by Monday as well. Again, if you see someone hacking take a pic or video and send it to Anet as they asked instead of blanket attacks on a server.
@prototype You still have the three orbs. There is no proof at this point that said blatant troll “ET is hacking and took all three orbs” even happened. Don’t confuse truth and defending people I play with, knowing what good, legit players they are with arrogance. Calling out a server is stupid. Bottom line. If I see anyone hacking on my server, I will/would fraps it and send it in myself. Blanket statements are about as accurate as TA’s one month in “nothing left to prove” post.
Since our medium population server is able to give a good fight to full servers
ET is not a medium population server, you’re consistently a high population server, at least that I’ve seen. That said, even if you were a medium pop server, it wouldn’t be that relevant in the grand scheme considering ET has a larger WvW population than most servers. Looking at that queue data that was posted, you have quite a bit of people in queues through and through, or at least did at that time. So your WvW population is on par or above the majority of servers, full or not.
I know that’s not really pertinent to the conversation, but thinking you’re somehow undermanned by having a ‘medium’ population server is not an accurate observation of the WvW situation.
ET is a “High” server on the weekends like it is right now. JQ is currently full and tends to be throughout the week. ET tends to go medium Mon-Thurs. Either way, point being is our Q is much smaller then our T1 opponents 24/7. Anet data shows this going back to 9/21.
My point was with saying that regarding the population is that 24/7 Q size/coverage does help. We need more coverage/help if we want to wrestle away #1 from JQ/HoD or anyone else. WvW is a week long and we can hang until Sunday football, then we seem to start losing ground much faster from Sunday-Friday Reset. We’d love to see more EU/Oceanic guilds on our server and welcome any and all that wish to come to ET. Good Q times and good players here with T1/T2 WvW fighting.
I am taking nothing away from JQ. I am impressed with their fighting so far this week. Really have upped their game.
Since our medium population server is able to give a good fight to full servers, I’m happy with that, but all the QQ and lies, propaganda would make Hitler proud. Someone posted that ET hacked all the orbs, yet when I log in JQ has two orbs still. Zero credibility. “I’m not surprised” is blatant trolling. ET isn’t known for hacking, but hacking does happen on every single server.
Calling out one server with 0 credibility from the accuser on top of it and using hyperbole to trump up the accusation = Troll and is close to a TOS violation almost as bad as naming an individual or a guild on these forums. Proof or not use the tools Anet told you to use and keep the WvW constructive with good banter regarding the match at hand.
JQ has obviously increased population and guilds and Que size data will show that I’m sure, but who cares. They have really brought the fight and I’m loving that more and more servers are creating competitive pvp for us all. My hats off to JQ and I look forward to the rest of the week win or lose.
There is no “working with other servers” it happens naturally on a map at times with no communication. JQ and HoD both hit our keep on the blue map while we had the orb there. 50 people fought over 100 from both server coming in North and South against us. We ultimately gave up the orb and lost the keep. Should I post the video and QQ. No, welcome to WvWvW.
To much kiddie whining. shutup and get in there and fight and have fun. The only thing that proves who is the best is Spvp and real guild v guild BGs. WvW really doesn’t do that with all the variables so just have some good fights.
The SS doesn’t show anything and use the report feature. Your posts will get locked as it’s against the TOS to do that on these forums. Calling out specific people is 100% against the TOSon the forums.
If you have video or pics that actually show definitive hacking /report and then email Anet as they have stated. Every match every server has cried about having their orb hacked. We’ve had it happen to us alot over the weeks. Generally it is done by random pug hack crews or individual, but calling out a server is plain callus and ridiculous.
If it’s a guild tagged person, then email their leadership. We all need to work together and do this right if people would come together as a game community and stop the forum QQ and follow the TOS and use the methods Anet has stated you need to use. Posting on here like this about a guild or individual is 100% against the TOS and YOU accomplish nothing but QQ and trolling. A good fight coming all week could have been discussed here, but instead it’s another whinefest.
I was looking forward to two games this year and getting away from that other game. One became and utter failure, while another is still a work in progress. Hopefully, things will come together.
Anet has a philosophy of no gear grinding for fancy epics with uber stats. However, there’s a huge grind for skins. I think that splits people down the middle to those that still enjoy traditional hunts for elusive and powerful gear to those that just want to get a few skins and call it a day.
My biggest complaint is that there is literally zero enjoyment killing a boss in a dungeon because there’s no anticipation for a possible drop,your looking for on any chest drop. Where is that last minute excitement over almost killing a boss, or intense pvp where it comes down to the wire. It happens alot in other MMOs whether via raids, dungeons or pvp. It’s not really happening here. The game is a great display of artwork and I did enjoy leveling. Anet needs to make some bold changes on the end game and make the encounters and pvp a work of art as well. I am looking for the new classic MMO.
So far this year has not produced that, but Anet has an opportunity here. Please get bold and create truely exciting encounters and gameplay that makes the nerves go haywire and the heart pump.
Dungeons are just as bad. I still have the DR bug. First time running a dungeon and get 30 tokens. This game has turned into a Korean grind game. I must have missed that part in the manifesto. Instead of this DR garbage because you made a client side game that is easy to bot, fix the issue don’t drive the real players away.
Ironically, none of the grind needs to happen because none of it is a true upgrade…So I could log in and hang out in LA while in the WvW Q then log out when done. Good plan.
Still DR bugged. Ran path 1 AC once and received 45 tokens. Then ran path 2 after the patch and received 20 tokens. I have yet to receive 60 tokens on a first run from a dungeon since this whole DR fiasco. Losing faith and patience quickly.
I can tell you that with 100% certainty I will not play this game long if the DR situation remains, especially when you get the DR bug and you haven’t even run an instance in a few weeks.
I ran AC explore for the FIRST time today. 30 Tokens for path 3 then ran path 2 and got 15 tokens. 2 hours for 45 tokens thanks to the bug. Waste of time. Fix coming for this I hope soon?
You guys that whine and make kitten up about teaming up are obviously new to 3 way WvW, at various times it will seem like servers are ganging up. There’s no conspiracy, all three servers have fought hard. LoTD was holding garrison on IoJ Friday night and we were being attacked on each side by both servers and held them off for 5 hours way outnumbered. Didn’t mean they working together at all. Was the nature of spawn points and the location on that map.
If servers aren’t focusing the leader then you are doing kittening wrong.
Just wanted to say that these have been the most fun fights to date. The 3 way battle for 5 hours Friday night in Garrison was insane on IoJ map, and some of the best fighting in GW2 yet. Saturday night did not disappoint either.
Whoever ends up winning by Friday, I just want to say my hat is off to IoJ and CD…really bringing the fight. This is what WvW should be like.
Yea, I have to say this is the worst response I’ve seen from Anet. Fine it’s Anet’s stance. Many of us aren’t having fun after day two of a rotation. Fine we’ll get respond to your stance accordingly. This isn’t a war, this is a game where we seek fun when we log into WvW. It’s not fun after day two.
A response like all is fair in war doesn’t cut it. This is a game after all that was purported to be fun not a war. Guess what, night capping and the lack of competition outside of the first two days of rotation will eventually lead you war to a ghost town in WvW.
Anet may want to capture the RvR that was loved in Daoc, but it’s not 2005 and your playerbase has a much different mindset now. If it doesn’t keep long time MMO players and new players alike engaged with heavy competition and real fun, the “war” that isn’t fair will happen elsewhere because frankly putting effort in to beat a server that is last place and just waiting for Monday night server reset to cap the map is not fun, not competitive and frankly no where near what this aspect of the game could be in rvr.
Many people play this game for the pvp. If that isn’t truely fun and competitive then all will be fair in those that move on. I’d prefer outside the box thinking that pushes this game to a fruitful, long lasting ending.
LoL@these threads. I mean I get bored easy after years of gaming, but just lol at these posts. This game has more foundation out of the gate then any raid based game ever had at launch. Not only that it’s f2p monthly. Go play MoP then. You’ll be back after you see how dated that game has become. Now if 3 months from now we are still looking at the same content, no WvW changes etc etc.. I will be with you, but now? Watch how fast people leave WoW by xmas though…
@Phaedren…you full of it. I got no Q last night at 7est. let alone 3am. We had a 10 minute Q around 10est and by 11est many started to log for the night due to work.
1200 kills and 201 as a guardian so far. Some nights I fight for 4-5 hours only to come away with 7 random drop badges. This includes 1v2 kills where 0 badges drop frequently. I don’t stand in the back either I’m always up in the middle of the fight spamming F as a go since it’s hard to even loot the badges at times.
I’m old school and don’t mind a grind, but it sure is difficult as a guardian to get badges. Still working on my first item from WvW vendor and I play every day. Working as intended?
I reported a 5 man team of bots in fire heart last night. Still there tonight. posted about lots of client side hacking in WvW as well. Not trying to bring this game down, I’m trying to get them to clean it up before it’s too late. They just delete threads regarding known hacks.
Fix hacks. Fix orb, treb exploits. Fix the scoring system to where it has a chance to be competitive all week. I predict if these things are going on by xmas, no one will have to worry about waiting in a Q.
I would love to see guild vs. guild matches with maybe a caveat whereby you only get matched up against guilds from other servers. This allows the server community to stay “teamed” on WvW, but also compete for guild glory and not just server status, which is not conducive to a true measure of greatness due to many variables.
Get home from work at 4est and we have 95 from all the capping while most the server is afk. By 10est. we have 245 and top score. Logging to go to bed and I’m sure the night HoD will take it back. Bottom line HoD benefits greatly from night capping. We do not have the night presence and are largely an East coast server, but keep the forum zerg fest coming with the usual misinformation. Pretty sure the republicans would love to hire many of you.
Anet keeps deleting threads made to trash can when people have proof of hacks. I have a video of a thief stealth hacking trebs. He can attack without uncloaking unless you aoe him out. We’ve spammed about the orb too, flying hacks etc. They don’t want it all over their boards because there are several sites out there with injection hacks already due to the nature of the client side of this game.
I made a thread asking where I can post said info. They put it in the trash can.
If this becomes like CoD online botting, Then playing WvW will be a waste of time.
Please remove free transfers period and close off the full servers. The skill points are annoying me as well and are preventing me from world completion atm, but they will be fixed. They’ve fixed quite a few already.
@Revan BC was the best WOW xpack hands down. WOTLK was the slow deathknell of wow IMO. Only Ruins of Kunark and SoV from EQ1 bring back fond xpack memories that compare to BC, which was a great xpack all around.
MoP quite frankly is joke. That game is so outdated at this point, but those who love Wow will always love WOW. I played it for years and I had some of my best MMO moments ever with it, but I have moved on. SWTOR moved me away from it and when that tanked I ended up in Rift biding my time until GW2 came out.
I still have accounts that are inactive atm with Blizzard, but I won’t be going back ever again. A new era of gaming has dawned for me and I will continue to play the games that seek to innovative and transform the online gaming genre of MMO fantasy.
What is the deal with the rollbacks. I log in today only to see that many of the zone completions I was working on last night are undone. I’m also missing coin I made. Other guildies are complaining of the same thing. This has happened more then once the last few weeks. What’s the deal??
Maybe just render in nameplates first as the rest slowly renders by the client. My rig shouldn’t have isssues with rendering, yet I come across this with just 8 players on screen in pve areas.
Please fix ASAP.
