Servers Tanking Before Tournament

in WvW

Posted by: Pretty Pixie.8603

Pretty Pixie.8603

A hotseat is fastly preferable to being locked into weeks of being karma trained and spawncamped by servers with fastly superior coverage.

Instead of the ‘we need a whipping boy for T2’ approach, SoS could destack it’s OCX a little to go to a server that has the NA to compete.

That’s not going to happen, ofcourse. All those free caps!

If our night crew were to ever leave it would be upwards, not downwards. We’d still. E the home servers for the large number of PvX style OCX so this pipe dream that somehow our WvW focused nighttime players like PvD and will transfer downwards isn’t going to happen.

One of two bad things will happen:

1. We lose some people but still remain in T2. With less of an advantage we’d seek to recruit more NA to compete with FA and the two will be so closely balanced that they will need to savagely destroy the 3rd server to win.

2. We implode and not one but TWO of you poor kittens get the hotseat for the future and Season 4

So if you are serious about staying out of Gold you should be toasting our success before every meal.

The OCX destacking would go to a server then able to compete inT2 and actually have fights vs SoS/FA. You get to rebalance your own tier. And yet you’re not interested?

That’s fine, but please stop with the ‘T3 needs to step up’ when you’re well aware that the only competitive coverage is in the top 4-5 servers.

Idea: Friendly units block attacks

Pretty Pixie.8603

Your assumption that the biggest zerg always wins is false. There are many zergbusting guilds that take on many times their numbers and win, due to synergised builds, good communication, superior understanding of mechanics and experienced drivers that know when to engage and where, and when to recover.

Seems premature with still a week of reveals ahead.

If you could please link where you get your data to base your claims on, that would be great. Otherwise they are just that, claims.

Personally, I like that they make the game more accessible for new players. A lot isn’t explained very well for newcomers.

HUH? Siege Disabler that disables enemy siege

HUH? Siege Disabler that disables enemy siege

Posted by: Pretty Pixie.8603

Pretty Pixie.8603

In most cases, throwing the disabler on the inside of the gate will be sufficient to take out the rams. When defending, this new trick works in favor of a prepared defender.

If anything this works best vs open field siege, since it’s far easier to target from 1200 range than a well placed AC in a structure. Open fielders should be cheering.

YB is in a pretty good place right now, with a few good open field guilds in TC, PAL and UL, while still boasting excellent militia, guards and quality scouts.

We coulds definately use one or more SEA/Ocx guild(s), or even an extra NA open field guild to pressure more BLs.

Hi Zaps, I’m Pix from SCTY on Yak’s Bend. We’re an international PvX guild with about 40 people active daily.

We do anything PvE plus a fair bit of WvW for some members. There are no requirements to do content you’re not interested in.

We have been active in GW2 since Beta Weekend 1, and have many knowledgable people to advise you on anything; how to play your class, what gear to choose and where to get it, builds, to how to make money and fashion commentary.

If that appeals to you contact us at www.gw2society.enjin.com.

Hi Dandere,

I’m Pix from SCTY on Yak’s Bend. We’re an international guild that’s friendly and social. You’re right; ussually not that many people early on on YB, but we tend to sport around 4-10 in the morning.

Check us out at gw2society.enjin.com.

For other YB guilds your best bet is www.yaks-bend.com. The Yaks community prefers their community forums to the official one.

Good luck with your search,

New to WvW, one question

in WvW

Posted by: Pretty Pixie.8603

Pretty Pixie.8603

Keep in mind that the population gaps are lower in EotM, due to it lumping several servers into one color. During certain timeslots Red in particular might be heavily outnumbered, but there are at least people to play with.

Lower tiered servers, Tier 3 and below, tend to have severe coverage gaps. If you returned a light time for DH or it’s opponents you wouldn’t have found many of the larger fights.

EotM is generally not a good measuring stick for WvW fights, due to many people running it for Karma and other rewards, and often actively avoiding fights. Moreover, a lot of players tend to be uplevels. Far less so in regular WvW.

My advice would be to try it again during NA primetime, and join your server community TS, if only to find out where the fights are.

Anet has stated that if you do not log in during a LS episode to unlock it, you can unlock it afterwards by paying 200 gems.

Will Dry Top change a little in the meantime? Quite possibly. That’s what happened during season 1 to LA and Kessex Hills. But that’s to hook to keep people playing, and I personslly love it.

Sorry for the late response, Nate. I think there’s certainly room to grow for a zerg busting guild that wants to recruit on YB. In fact, [PAL] is doing that right now, and their GL reported hitting their first stage recruitment goals in under a week.

We’ve identified the lack of open field guilds during our review of season 2. This is why new startup guilds will be sucessful, as long as they intergrate themselves in our community.

Come have a look at our community forums at www.yaks-bend.com.

I felt shortchanged too. I’d be more ok with them saying;‘no further use for bladeshards, just toss them’

Hinting at s shard merchant in previous patchnotes raised a certain expectation. I would have been fine with festival tickets, or some mats for stuff we can still use.
