Guild Wars 2

Unless you had a lot of very, very synchronized necromancers who were also invisible.

It could happen!

Mesmers would call that ‘Working as intended’

Lots of siege and players means your computer has lots to render, your graphics is probably overheating causing your frame rate to drop.

Haven’t spent much time with Mara so I can’t say in good concious how good she is but I have spent a good amount of time following Bavragor and he does a very good job.

Excellent post, I agree with your list.

The disheartening part of it all is that all 6 issues are truly gamebreaking. My entire guild has quit and gone to play Pandas.

Clever use of game mechanics, legit but will be patched asap.

Hi SoS!

SoR here, presently holding firm with a +675 cap or greater on our matchup. Remember IoJ gave SBI and JQ a good fight last week, meanwhile they are getting pounded by you.

Maybe we are the two best servers. See you in Tier 1......

Lol this thread isn’t even going to make it to page 3 without getting locked.

It’s a 1 sided match and I don’t mean that in a way to be disrespectful to Tarnished Coast. You guys are the unofficial RP server and thus have a huge contingent of PvE exclusives.

Meanwhile almost the entire population of SoR is WvW devoted. Cursed shore is barren and empty on our server. Considering that our server is also still open to transfers and yours is not. I just see us taking the entire map tonight and never letting go.

With all due respect to Tarnished Coast, SoR is going to dominate their tier 3 matchup so I am fully expecting a massive influx of fair weather players onto SoR next week that will move off the following week when SoR gets moved up to Tier 2.

Sanctum of Rall is going to turn into Crystal Desert and will get 1 week in tier 2 before being crushed and never seeing it again.

Meo Yeong is actually correct when it comes to an Elementalist.

A support staff elementalist that plays primarily in water and air does not do enough damage to receive loot. I have 1,627 kills and have 83 badges, it’s an issue that needs to be addressed.

For now, I’d recommend switching to daggers and damage.

Big shout outs to CRS, ND, LUN, EPIC and all the guys with em for giving us some great fights. I’ve lost far too many hours of sleep this week seeing the sun come up trying to hold out until the NA boys come online and I know plenty of others have as well.

Much appreciated and much respect to you as well. CRS and ND are non-English speaking guilds so I doubt you’ll get a response from them but I am sure the feeling is mutual.

I spent much of the week joined at the hip to CRS as my guild has all quit and gone to play pandas sigh. Anyway, it has been truly an amazing week. We had your number at the beginning of the week but by the end of the week the tables had definitely shifted.

Wish there was a way to know players’ names from other realms because I’d like to give a couple shout outs to some of your guild mates.

To the human male necromancer that dueled me for 7 minutes on the hill of Woodhaven till we both ended up downed and my hounds finished you, hats off to you brother. More than a worthy adversary, I never lose 1v1 fights to anyone especially not a necro but there was a point I thought you had me.

To the human female thief that has made it your mission to target me in the CRS ball, you’re a dirty rotten kitten but I admire your tenacity. Now go find another elementalist to pick on….

And finally to the charr warrior with the gold star and the tier 2 charr greatsword skin that has spiked me 25+ times this week. When we play again, I am going to find you, and I am going to kill you….over and over and over and over again. I am going to enjoy doing it because I don’t like you.

I would happily take a ’demotion’ to get my 100gp back.

With the exception of last night, CRS and friends has been able to hold most of SoS BL during oceanic prime with the outmanned buff.

Suka and Kyle just move around the map capping points and running from the SoS zerg, they do an amazing job leading and constantly pushing.

I do have to give props to MERC for last night tho, you surrounded us and pushed us right back to our waypoint and never let us out again last night. Well done!

Uruu.3468:

It’s very discouraging for NA guilds to stay up til 4, 6 am looking left and right and not seeing their asia-pac brothers even present in wvw, and handing over all maps free to your opponents. Win or Lose, you want to have teammates that you are proud to call teammates and giving their 200% effort the entire way ^^

again, great job, and honestly its a good and fun match up for both sides
(most other tiers are just jelly of ours this week ^^)

This is really unfair.

You guys on NA prime don’t have to be on everyday because its going to be queued and there are going to be people on either way.

We’ve been on 6-8 hours every day this week and are getting burned out.

Thobek.1730:

wow that was only two hours ago? I just left the game now and PRX went on a rampage in EB’s and capped nearly everything, MERC is struggling to take the last keep SoR has on the SoS BL.

the scores look very different atm. SoR are still holding their own BL quite nicely though.

Sigh, sometimes a brother just wants a day off to play his panda. We’re coming…….

They’ve stated they’ve fixed rendering issues 3 times now.....no, they have not.

The problem isn’t with the Thief or stealth, the problem is with the rendering.

The thief is supposed to be revealed for a half second in between restealthing, however, the game in its current state does not ’render’ or have the thief appear to the enemy and thus the thief effectively has permanent stealth.

Yah, having a blast tonight. Running around with CRS in SoS BL with outmanned buff and still holding our own. It’s great!

I would have no problems with either of these if there were no rendering issues.

Golem bomb mesmer portals can tear down keep walls before you see them and clpak and dagger thieves can hold camps for an infinite amount of time necause the game does not allow you to see them in between skill use like intended.

I would personally disable both until the rendering issues are resolved but would not remove them from the game.

Blaming an entire server for the exploits of one person or even a group of people is not smart.

As others have stated, I agree with you on everything except the rendering/culling.

I am using a 6 month old system that I paid $5200 for that has top of the line everything or atleast did at the time.

I am still having major issues with invisible armies, a vast majority of my deatha come against people that I can not see.

Some will spawn camp, but most of them don’t participate either.

GW2 is quickly becoming a weekend only game.

It’s a class issue.

I get hit for 12k backstabs regularly with a full yellow Invader set or better, and 30 Earth (Toughness) as an Elementalist.

My only gripe with the Mesmer portals are the rendering issues. We’ve had a door on bay ripped down by a golem rush we couldn’t even see.

Weekend’s over, have to get back into the swing of work....

Wanted to send a special thank you to CRS for letting me roll around the map with them all weekend. My guild up and transferred again but a couple of us have elected to stay on SoR and it’s been the best weekend of GW2 for me by far. You guys are awesome!

Thanks to MERC for putting up an amazing fight in SoS borderlands all weekend, back and forth the whole way and the oiled golem rush on bay will almost certainly be the greatest moment I take away from this game. You guys had me both laughing and crying all weekend!

Finally wanted to send a shout out to my little Asura friend David Lear. Dude single handedly held most of the southern map of SoS BL for SoR all weekend. Props to an excellent gamer.

S’ok, I call them ’baby seals’

I agree this needs to be addressed.

With a mesmer portal on to a door, a dozen golems can tear it down before you even see them.

Steadfast.5827:

Picklez bud, we don’t need more animosity on our server by getting more people. Blackgate will wake up in tier 1. Kitten you’ll see more Blackgate next week if SoS gets up to tier 2. The server is right where we need it, you just won’t know it until we face a server that has tier 1&2 population.

It won’t be SoS making it to Tier 2, it will be SoR and if you think Beastgate is good……

CAN’T WAIT!

Please don’t move away to Tier 1 Blackgate, I’d love to play against you next week!

Oh man it won’t let me use chinese lettering

A couple of issues....

1) Not playing sucks. I don’t want to sit in a queue if possible for any reason.

2) The only way night capping becomes an issue is if one server has a vastly larger off-hours population than the other two servers. If this is the case than those two servers should be working together against that server like CD and SoR have been working together against SoS during Oceanic hours this week.

Truth be told, night capping is a complete non-issue if people communicate. Doing any kind of adjustment to the game based upon it is rewarding people for being lazy.

Those European servers that are recruiting American players and vica versa should have an advantage because they’re doing work and actively getting out there and spreading their server.

If it only took 15 people to take a garrison, chances are they knew you were there and had a mesmer ready to portal.

You don’t have to be a Commander to lead. Truth be told, I’d rather just follow someone else if I am not with my guild.

Also, it’s nearly impossible for us (SoR) to defend our home world with 10 bots at Skritt, 20 at Krait, and 10 people afk in citadel.

Oil > 14 golems

We do appreciate a good laugh here on SoR tho, thanks SoS!

The scores should not be even, CD and SoR should be doubling down on SoS right now because you know SoS is going to beat you tonight.

The game is not being decided in off hours, it’s being decided right now by poor leadership on the CD and SoR sides for not working together.

Unfortunately I won’t be home for another 6 hours.

Looking forward to stomping some Aussie tail this week.

Hey SoR. It will be interesting to see how you fight when you don’t have 4 to 1 odds. At no time this week did we have even or even down 2 to 1 on every battle.

lol. But..but you guys are uber so you should be able to overcome.

I’m fully expecting SoR to come in 2nd in this matchup; by how many points I’m not sure. Then again, if we win I’m sure that once again- for the 5th week in a row now -the opposition will claim it was due to server transfers. It’s ok, I’m used to it by now.

I think we stand a decent chance at winning this matchup. Crystal Desert has a very small Oceanic presence and Sea of Sorrows has a small North American presence. I think we’ll walk into the matchup on equal footing perhaps us even with a slight advantage from having a bunch of unused siege from last week.

Either case, SoR has a decent Oceanic player base now. Hand plays exclusively in the early AMs as most of our members are Americans working on graveyard shift. When I’ve been on the last few days it hasn’t been too difficult to muster up the forces to retake our camps and towers in the early AM, worst case scenario we just try to hold what we have and we’ll be able to do that.

Yaks/GoM, I want to personally apologize for the SoR players camping your spawns with siege, that kind of behavior is unnecessary and inappropriate. Unfortunately, there is no way for us to police our own so the best we can do is offer you an apology.

And I want to apologize to all players from all 3 servers for ruining this week’s matchup, it was not our intention to cause this amount of chaos. We were looking for a new home without queues and a lot more players followed us than expected.

There will be a new matchup tomorrow, hopefully we can put the hostility behind us in case we ever happen to meet up again down the road.

BlackRabbit.1259:

Brilliant!

btw, You really should check out the ranger forum and the list of bugs our class suffers with. It’s got so bad that even Ele’s & Necro’s laugh at us now.

Us Eles don’t laugh at anyone. We’re too busy cursing at the screen because some Thief stealthed into our 60 man zerg, 2 shot us, and got away without taking damage.

Not a fan of this ’my server is more holy than thou server’ attitude. I was on IOJ when they got spanked by ET 3 weeks ago while Ruin was still there. They jad packed it in and quit playing by Sunday just like everyone else.

There are fair weather players on every server.

Deunanna.7430:

My fun factor died when I saw 5 commanders on one borderland, and only recognized 2 names of the bunch. So many band wagoners now…

Ouch, that hurts friend. Some of us are just following our friends and don’t mean to jump on the ‘flavor of the week’. I hope Hand has settled here but who knows?

Maybe we’ll all hop again and you’ll go back to enjoying the game.

Sanctum’s bots are in the water around the west Quaggan camp in our realm, have at it boys.

I would take the anti-downed state complaints a little more seriously if a vast majority of them were not made by people playing the ’Thief’ class.

You guys realize you stealthing into a pack of 30 players, 2 shotting an Elementalist and getting away is not intended right? Your nerfs are coming.

Yaks gave us a huge fight in their BL last night, props to them for not throwing in the towel yet.

The SoR we fought last week is not the SoR we are fighting this week. Your server has completely changed due to the free transfers. Yaks did not change. SoR did a complete remake.

Not debating that, you pushed us right out of your garrison and took back half the map. Mind you we were queued and I assume you were not, it was impressive and I have to give my respects.

Yaks gave us a huge fight in their BL last night, props to them for not throwing in the towel yet.

A vast majority of the players are flocking to winners, but there’s a good amount of people (myself included) that just want to do WvW and can’t because their server has thrown in the towel for the week.

The top 6 servers are consistently at ‘Full’ so transferring to one of them is not an option and in every other tier usually 1 server has taken a huge lead and the other servers have given up.

Basically, don’t punish me for wanting to play. I don’t mind playing on the losing/underdog side if they’re still trying but most don’t after Sunday.
