Esqi.8496:

The only thing I wish for, is for all servers to remain competitive. Who cares if you’re 1st, 2nd or 3rd… just show the kitten up to fight!

Tell that to Blackgate

JQ keep interrupting the GvG on JQ BL and you will lose your T3 keep within the next 15min.

Hey thanks for the bags, who was that little BG guild that kept wiping you? That was more fun than just wiping you all night =)

We decided to attack.

JQ keep interrupting the GvG on JQ BL and you will lose your T3 keep within the next 15min.

Solution for population inbalance:

Delete Euro WvW Servers.
Combine NA and Euro for WvW.
WvW Tiers 1-5 will be full and winners of WvW will be skill based.

BG used to have the manpower to win T1. No one should be blamed for BG’s demise except the people in BG itself. Its just so sad to see them crumble despite absorbing 35907269021243520391 guilds. Come on BG! Absorb some more! Oh wait… your server is too full.

^^^^^

^^^^^

My server will destroy both of your servers.

I love how BG are playing so hard for the ppt in BG BL lmfao.

We are /waving in open field to try and get some fights, but they just sit in their tower.

2v1 against JQ > JQ cries
2v1 against BG > BG cries
2v1 against SoR > SoR smiles

Kryyg.8576:

It’s been a fun 2 days double teaming SoR, but I am tired now and must sleep.

Be ready for a whole week of it SoR, we aren’t going to make this easy for you.

Cya all tomorrow.

Good

Lifewaster.5912:

I think easiest fix is, the gate must be below 99% in order for any dmg hitting it to trigger contested.

This would require quite a significant effort by a solo person trying to disrupt the WP, and could be countered by a defender repairing the gate back up.

I like that idea as well. Would be the same for walls too (since some classes can do damage to walls)

Is 1 person being able to contest a waypoint fair? or should it require siege or at least 5 players to contest it?

Thoughts, ideas?

I’m reviving this thread from the depths of page 2.

Only a few hours in and SOR already calling 2v1.

We didn’t say we didn’t like it

SoR burnt out from all that PvD overtime?

We’re not burnt out haha. We never did any kind of significant overtime over the past two weeks. We’re just getting double teamed. we’re cool with it though. We love the challenge. You seem to always pop out when you guys win to troll and brag. i suppose you’re from RISE?

He can’t handle the truth.

oxide.8324:

SoR burnt out from all that PvD overtime?

We are just trying to figure out who we want to get 3rd place this week.

SoR 1rd
JQ 2st
BG 3nd

The problem isn’t with the rating system, it’s with the scoring system.

The winners are determined by coverage and numbers, combining the EU and NA servers (WvW wise) into half the servers there are now would diminish those dead-zone periods where 1 server gains superiority over the others (gaining points, making enemy places paper, and upgrading their own to T3 for the next time-zone).

Change the game from the winner winning by numbers to the winner winning by skill.

I’m sure this will reply will be ignored though, like every other reply.

JonPeters.5630:

I think the kittenumptions that everyone is making are:

1) The current ratings of servers are valid. They are not because we are not getting enough varied match-ups to even generate valid data. Trying to judge the quality of a server based on their current rating is much like judging the quality of people’s Reddit posts by the average # of up-votes they get.
2) How big a spread will make a game a blowout? Is 400 rating points even a significant difference? Really its just a number with very little meaning right now. Once this system starts working (based on the math of the system the idea is that a rating +/- deviation is in fact an accurate measurement of the range of what their rating might be in a perfect world so this is technically the way this whole thing was supposed to work from the get go.

I don’t want to do all of the probability math right now, but with absurdly high certainty there will only be a small amount of randomization each week as in order for a situation like Kaineng moving up to T1 to occur, every server from Blackgate to Maguuma would have to roll a lower range number than Kaineng, and some of them would literally have to roll almost -100% while Kaineng rolls almost +100%. As the blog post stated, at the end of the day we are really just going to see a bit of nice slight subtle movement so that match-ups are less stale, and eventually ratings are more accurate.

I just looked through the Millenium scores and as much as I hate to admit it SoR isn’t really winning by much.

The scores are relatively close compared to the wins that BG and JQ had against the same opponents.

Please provide cold hard numbers for all of us to look at

As it stands now, week 20 sor (1st) is ahead of bg (3rd) by 68k
this is between first and 3rd
week 19, the gap is 74k
week 18, 51k <-BG victory
week 17, 71k <-BG Victory
week 16, 48k <-JQ victory
week 15, 85k <-JQ victory
week 14, 82k <-JQ
week 13, 48k <-JQ
week 12, 87k <-JQ

I don’t care about how far third is from first, that means nothing. I care about how close second was to first

Well then… from first to second
week 20, 42k<sor atm over jq
week 19, 57k<sor over bg
week 18, 24k<bg over jq
week 17, 38k<bg over jq
week 16, 28k<jq over bg
week 15, 59k<jq over sor
week 14, 59k<jq over sor
week 13, 42k<jq over sor
week 12, 74k<jq over sor
week 11, 14k<bg over jq
week 10, 31k<jq over bg
week 9, 16k<jq over bg

Looking back, none of the matches were actually pretty close between the three servers. with at least a 48k point differential between first and third.

Those facts

SoR will reign fire on all the nations below them

Rain fire. Unless you intend to rule over a couple burning twigs, in which case no one cares. Not that anyone did anyhow…

I meant to say SoR will destroy them with lasers

SoR will reign fire on all the nations below them

Avenge.1478:

Same issue on Jade Quarry BL in NA Tier 1

Confirmed Servers need more ca$h flow

SoR
TC

^ Top 2 most stable in NA

Darek.1836:

FC has been in T8 since launch except 1 week. Now that’s stable.

LOL /15char

Taras.4367:

SoR is not #1 for sure they just had some transfers and they got better but wait few months and see what happens to them.

1. JQ
2. TC
3. FA
4. Mag
5. BG

We got ourselves a hater ladies and gentleman.

SoR did it right, in terms of building the server up.

lordkrall.7241:

Pvp.2758:

I was told most/all of the servers are located in Texas… could be wrong.

The European servers are located in Frankfurt, Germany.

Interesting, but as far as I can tell, the European players on the NA servers don’t lag, or lag just as bad as the NA players.

Inso.2195:

/signed

I would love to see that happen although im not sure if that possible ( anet said something about servers locations for EU and NA is the main reason they split EU/NA servers iirc)

I was told most/all of the servers are located in Texas… could be wrong.

Roo Stercogburn.9671:

Just change the scoring system so overnight/off-primetime PvD doesn’t win the matchup.

Wouldn’t be fair to all players.

> Delete/Merge Tier 8 to other servers
> Combine NA & Euro Servers (For WVW)

=Active WvW across all tiers

-No more ‘Super Servers’, not more absorbing lower tiers, and no more coverage wars.

Recent News:

SoR, BG and JQ all merge into Dragonbrand.

oxide.8324:

Plz don’t stop attacking BG’s EB keep JQ and SoR, we are bathing in loots bags

We got bored of the 100% green BG BL …

Jackums.3496:

Tier 1 was has really pulled a 180. SoR in the top spot? I never thought I’d see the day.

Slow and steady.

I can’t speak for BG or JQ, but SoR needs at least 1 Oceanic and 1 Sea Guild

Kryyg.8576:

Does anyone else feel like SoR should break up their NA?

It’s getting tiring now.

Go into one BL you hit CHOO.
Go to another BL you hit FEAR.
Go into another BL you hit TSYM.
Try BL #4 and you get TW.

That’s not even including all the other WvW guilds that they have.

Why should they break up?

Ty btw.

We play on NA servers. We have NA guilds. Your a NA server with not many NA guilds that relies on non NA coverage why should that be our problem. The way I see it we are the normal server here.

NA force on NA servers? That’s absurd!

Blackhole mmmm guilds omnomnomnomnom

Kryyg.8576:

It’s not a compliment.

Thanks for the compliment.

Great idea. I’ve been wanting this since the beginning….

Please add this!

It’s so annoying to have to do guild purges to kick the inactives…

Prediction of the week:

1st Dragonbrand
2nd Kaineng
3rd Ferguson’s Crossing
