Orbs were removed because they were being exploited. Anyone want to guess what the solution to this is going to be? Take a stab at it.

Remove WvW

Give this man (or woman) a cookie!

At this point that isn’t a terrible idea. With the exploits, culling issues, and all the rage WvW is causing, if there is something else to fill the void, removing WvW while the issues are fixed might not be a bad idea.

@Frou: That works too. Banhammers for everyone!

There is not and will not be something to fill the void. So are you making that statement so that people will flame you or just to cause hate and discontentment?

It would be nice if this can be bumped to the top during the oceanic time so they can see it like now.

Last score update was 7 hours ago. A fresh set would be nice.

Anyone else see this as a problem or is this just intended?

I see no problem with it. They deserved your keep. Totally valid tactic and better than the stupid breakout event. How else do you expect them to regain a foothold.

Kerithlan.1659:

Supply is very much in fact infinite. Unless you have 10-25 people sitting in every camp on the map spamming F until their knuckles develop cartilage tears, there is always supply available.
…
The only thing that makes supply remotely finite is camp capacity. Standing around waiting for it is user error, not the game’s fault. It’s not as though there’s one big magical warehouse per team that everyone needs to use.

Time is finite, supply is generated in the camps over time. QED supply is finite.

Every reset for the first several hours (4-8 hours on tier 2) the maps are completely supply starved. Three 100 man zergs roaming around a map taking camps and battling over keeps/towers burns supply fast.

…rather than being stuck with the same color for months on end (as my server has been).

Simple fix to that is to not tie the colors to the tier ranks. The server colors should be randomly picked each week.

JemL.3501:

Yeah NA and EU should be together in WvWvW at the end isnt that the main purpose of WvWvW success, coverage 24/7.

The Glicko system is not working fine for this kind of measurements, its seems to should be, winner move up, loser move down, second place grats you have a second chance

I think the main reason GW2 separated EU and NA servers is the physical location of the server banks. All the EU servers are ran out of a server farm in Europe. Linking them together would add lag and longer data transfer time. GW2 already cant support the current data transfer and uses culling as a poor mans band-aid. Don’t lean on the broken rail.

4) “Just go in sPvP”. Well I really believe that sPvP is lacking right now. The maps have become repetitive, 8v8 is made by people who just farm points, there are huge queues till you join the match, there are these 5-6 builds that everyone uses and if you don’t you are bound to lose etc etc. Although this is just my personal opinion.

So I do believe that these problems are easy to overcome and therefor suggest this. The place that we will use for this will be in one of the 3 borderlands. I personally think the best one will be Blue’s Borderlands because Blue is by default the “weakest” out of the three and therefor won’t mind some WvW spots being taken by PvPers. For the exact place to be used I suggest we use the space right under the south supply camp, where if you remember, the fight club event happened before with success (http://tinyurl.com/8sxsfeo).
…

Summarized: SPVP is not near as good as it was in GW1. You can’t even do a simple 1v1 challenge match. Lets fix this by invading on a working combat mode.

I would say you should make this request in in your local match up thread. Not an arena but an informal challenge area while we wait for a decent structured 1v1 game mode. /beckon and /bow are used on my server for informal 1v1 matches.

As for blue borderland being weak, that may be true on your matchup but its a hard target on mine. Ques are not uncommon.

InSomNiaC.6315:

In my humble opinion I prefer the trial system. However, I would not split the culling pool 50-50. Rather 65-35 favoring rendering enemies over allies. Also prioritize rendering the commander’s icon on people’s screens. This way players on your server can stick with their commander in the big fight, and you can see the enemies in front of you….for the most part. Just the 2 cents from the large guild leader perspective.

Exactly. Culling is evil, trial is less evil. Trial would have been much better if you could see the commanders on both teams.

restarting this topic since only after 35 posts our other one got locked and deleted.
lets not be stupid and get this locked.

score update plz

Its not people being stupid that gets the topics locked and deleted. Its terrible forum moderation. A decent moderator would warn/ban individual offenders rather than punishing the entire community. There is not even a reason given, I have no idea why my post was deleted. I really hope the forum moderators don’t get paid for such sloppy work.

The fact that this game is so awesome despite culling, exploits and terrible administration/moderation is a real testament to the game.

So what if a guild leaves? There is no reason to be loyal to any server. Play the game for yourself first, then your guild, then your server if that makes you happy. Its not like you get anything for winning WvW anyway.

Agreed.

Though its not as much fun unless they make a big drawn out post rife with excuses drawing attention to it.

What if a player/guild felt happy for transferring or being a bandwagon like you said? Do you even know what you are talking about? Playing for fun, some feel content and happy for staying some are not. why do you want to comment and interfere their happy and fun life?? why? tell me why you troller <— :?

I hate bandwagon players in games just as much as I hate the person who cuts into my lane at the last minute, right before the exit while I have been waiting in traffic after merging over half a mile back.

People who take the easy road in life tread on the people who make an honest living.

Props to the lone thief that just stopped me from taking Durious back after porting my lobee friends in. I sighed like 6 times afterwords.

I thought BG was supposed to have the epic oceanic force and SoR’s weak spot is oceanic timing! Lies, all lies :P

That aside, cheers to a great opening day, to the insomniacs (or ninja oceanics) of SoR and to BG destroying us all over the week. Happy holidays!

Sleep is for the weak. ;-)

It has been a fun night and a good start. I do only see one borderland with 3 keep waypoints of the same color, congrats on that and well fought. Much better than IOJ that’s for sure.
