Guild Wars 2

Platinumz.8756:

I’m curious, you guys haven’t experienced any culling issues since the last few recent patches? I’m Oceanic, true I don’t feel lag when in combat except when the server lags but, the culling seems to have gotten worse, as me and a group of mates I know can’t see the same number of players on the field.

Were I see 1 or 3 people on screen they see 10 or more thus I sometimes end up running into a zerg without realizing it before its too late.

I think the majority of the lag is overcrowding during ‘primetime’. With the spread of the population, primetime won’t be so prime because players will be playing at all time slot.

There are plenty of Euro’s and Oceanics in NA… They have no troubles with lag.

Linking the NA Servers to a Euro Server partner in WvW.

What would this do?

-Allow coverage over all time slots & Spread the population among all servers.

-If 2 servers were in the same WvW team, the queues will become crazy, almost forcing players to spread around to other servers to avoid that.

What would that do?

-Create more, better, and more equal fights among all the tiers; bettering the ‘WvW’ competition.

-Servers would be less dominant because there will be more competition.

Why did I think of this?

-The current NA Winners are determined by who who has the better Oceanic/Euro coverage (PvDoor). Why should it be like that?

Just a crazy idea I thought of, what do you think?

I think it would cause a bunch of transfers as guilds on EU servers with weaker NA partners move and guilds on NA servers with weaker EU partners move.

A lot of people don’t like losing. They will do anything to avoid it in a game.

Free transfers could happen to stabilize the change.

The way I see it, servers won’t be so populated because WvW space will be limited so guilds will spread to weaker servers, making stronger servers on both the NA and EU side.

Blackmoa.3186:

Like a lot of people I’ve experienced alot of lag the last few days and because of that checked my connections.
Turns out all the connections from GW2 direct to servers in Texas.
Now that makes me want to ask 2 questions:
1.) Why are the servers in texas? o.0 Where there some problems with the EU servers and they had to be shut down for maintenance? If that’s teh case, why was there no official announcement?
2.) Why can’t we play with American players if the servers are in Texas?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/EU-Servers-and-lag/first#post1563927

Why not combine EU and NA if they are on the same host?

It’s not somewhere you can legit jump to, I tried. If you really say it’s possible, I would like a video.

It’s possible, but I’m not going to show you.

I like being that guy because guys like you make threads like this making guys like me laugh.

Why can Lords be ressed by banner/battle res?

Because he died.

Why does the circle cap RESET after this is done?

Because he isn’t dead anymore.

You’re welcome.

So something meant to res DOWNED players can be used to res DEAD NPC’s to reset a circle cap that can take 5 minutes to reach 90%?

Awesome possum.

I didn’t say that it made sense. In case you haven’t noticed, there are lots of things in WvW that ANet didn’t consider very well, or at all. If WvW wasn’t merely an afterthought, it certainly plays like one.

Agreed.

If SoR got a bigger Oceanic/EU presence, they would dominate.

Thanks for the loot iCoa! 40+ Bags

Whisper me in game please, thanks!

I’m recruiting Kaineng to SoR.

SoR is not an established Oceanic/EU server. IMO if Kaineng transfered to SoR, it would make Tier 1 such a good fight because Blackgate and JQ are powerhouse servers.

Lmfao at the update.

I’m so happy I made a Mesmer.

JQ Got wrecked in EB by Choo. Fully upgraded full supply Castle taken, and Jerrifers and Klovan now are fortified by SoR.

You do realize that you’ve been beating on lowlands for 6 hrs now? Congrats you took two towers and SM but the true prize is lowlands.

We were also ticking at over 400 for 6 hours, while you had a queue worth of people sitting inside defending 1 keep. Not hard.

Once again you sound a bit mad. It’s ok don’t worry when you wake up the score will be even higher

We flipped your keep last night. That was satisfying enough.

Good thing bag slots are on sale today. Choo keeps leaving bags all over the map.

Yeah we don’t like to pick up the EMP bags.

Back to Back to Back Choo wiping SF and PRX in SoS BL tonight. Not to mention clearing those 5 Omegas off our tower before they even got 1 hit on the gate LOL

Good fights.

It worked!

Redfeather.6401:

I don’t know. It worked before in that it made the item account bound even though it says soulbound. Or maybe that is just with skins? But I haven’t tried it lately and don’t know if it’s been changed since last patch.

Maybe just add it to a white item and see if it can be transmuted off that with your mesmer?

I’ll try that, thanks!

Redfeather.6401:

Can you use your ranger to transmute the rune to a level 60 white item, and then transmute that with your Mesmer?

If I put it in that white item, will the white item become soulbound?

I got the Superior Nightmare Rune from TA Explore on my ranger today, but I need it on my Mesmer. It’s Soulbound, so is there a way to transfer it?

Fine Transmutation Stone?
Black Lion Salvage Kit?

Anyone know?

Edit: It worked!

Soulbound Rune on Character A > Put in lv 60 white armor > Put in Bank > Get item out of bank on Character B > either black lion salvage it, or fine transmutation stone it into armor > you’re welcome!

Tier 1 top guilds in wvw …. ?
SoR : TW,Choo,Hel?
JQ : Foo,PRX,RedGuard?
SoS: Tsym,VOTF?

^ This is the perfect example of a forum fanboi who lists the guilds that get talked about without knowing anything at all.
(NA)
SoR – Choo by a long stretch. TW aint bad either.
JQ – SF by a long stretch. No idea why PRX even get a mention, they go splat 90% of the time to any of the guilds in this list unless they have the whole map running with them.
SoS – Would have been FoE and VotF, the only 2 guilds who consistantly beat the other big dogs while running only a max of 20-25. The exception would be SF which can go either way every time, at least against FoE but probably not against VotF.

Overall, VotF are currently the top guild in tier 1 since RG left

Everything except I would argue Choo and VotF are probably tied for #1.

If you removed PVE from WVW then they would have to remove Ascended too, and you know that’s not going to happen.

I leveled my bunker mesmer from 1-80 in 14 days.

Pros: Fun / You get a kitten load of karma
Con: Not fastest way / Not as much gold as pve leveling

Hobocop.1508:

Wait…people actually spend MONEY on the infusion slots for non-infused ascended rings? When you can go run like…two levels of Fractals and get one for virtually free?

you must be a pve warrior

you must be …hmmm… not so bright.
Get the 75 fotm token one and move on and stop moaning, it’s basically free.

No problem here at all.

Why does this remove the current infused upgrade? I spent 30 gold on getting my first infusion upgrade on my first Ascended Ring, then I find out if I want to get the +5 agony upgrade, it will remove my current infusion upgrade…

Is there plans of changing this?

Pretty stupid IMO

PvDoor is the reason they are winning.

Bad idea imo.

transtemporal.2158:

It is pretty pathetic, but think of it like this: if the person really is a troll/spy for another server then sure they’re wasting your supply but they’re also wasting their own gold/seige bp upgrading your stuff!

The benefits of taking a keep far outweighs gold loss. The reason they do this is so they don’t have to fight against a keep for 3 hours with 1,700 supply. If you drain half the supply inside, it will usually take half the time to take it.

Not only are they draining supply, but they are taking up queue space too…

I like the idea of having a voting system to upgrade, like dungeons.

One helpful thing is they could make it so you see the account name of the person that queued the upgrade… so he can at least be reported or taught why he shouldn’t have done it.

Is anything going to be done about this? It’s so easy for 1 person to drain 600++ supply from a keep by simply ordering hire services/crap upgrade that isn’t needed at the time.

We just got hire services and merchents hired at both our towers and garrison, moments before we got zerged by the enemy.

It’s quite pathetic really.

Thread Solution: Upgrading becomes a voting system, like choosing a dungeon path.

Another idea: Show the account name of the player.

My Dead Characters.9517:

stupid idea, enemy spies would kill your golems and there would be nothing you could do about it

Pvp.2758:

Allow players to destroy their own siege that they placed dow + allow other players to see the name of the player that set the siege.

Bump this so this is fixed.

JQ talks a lot of talk, but doesn’t show for any of it.

It’s fun making fun of Tier 1; Tier 2 was more of a competition IMO

Keep the jumping puzzle in EB, but PLEASE remove it from taking up the population # in EB.

Players entering the jumping puzzle from EB will be leaving EB and if they wish to return they will have to wait in queue.

It would should be called lottery join instead of queue …

Half of my friends are waiting for hours while the other half get in in 5 min

It’s sad because tier 1 is such a fair matchup and we are having great fights.

JemL.3501:

Dont worry, all the worlds now have the opportunity to really beat JQ, the one which got in T1 faster than anyone and the one which held it more than anyone (forever?)

So is a good thing, gogogo to the victory

Current T1:

SoS 1st
SoR 2nd
JQ 3rd

SmokeyNYY.7841:

Because if you knew you were 201 out of 201 you would just log off and not play. Its their way of making you be signed on.

I didn’t say you needed to know when you would get the queue. Just that the order of queuing isn’t the order of when you get to join the WvW map. It’s random.

dunnberry.2964:

@PVP sorry wasn’t fully clear that was directed primarily at people who transferred to those servers not as much as the original inhabitants, my bad for undescriptive

Yeah, but it just sucks because we had half our guild ready at reset to get into EB and half of them got a queue instantly and had to wait 3-4 hours to get in. While some members that JUST logged in, got in in 5 min.

dunnberry.2964:

If your on one of the big transfer servers…I have no sympathy for you! You asked for it when transferring, yaks bend I do feel for you guys though!

We can’t stop new people from transfering to our server. I have been on my server for months.

I’m all for the reset, but I don’t think ALL the servers should have been reset to equal ratings.

Some servers in the lower tiers are going to KILL their opponents, granting them TONS of points, thus moving them up to tier 1 from tier 7.

Tier 1 servers have to work hard for points against the top notch servers and they will won’t even be able to maintain their high rating.

I think the Tiers should have gotten different rating resets…

For example:
Tier 1: 1500
Tier 2: 1400
Tier 3: 1300

etc… (Obviously its not a perfect suggestion, but it’s not fair to the servers that are already up top and will have to spend the next 2 months earning all their points back/having BORING WvW matchups.)

I know this isn’t accurate on reset, but look at the current future match ups: http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#NA

The way the system is now, say JQ wins tier 1, they might go to Tier 4, SoR comes in 2nd they might go to Tier 5, and SoS might go to Tier 6.

The winning servers from Tier 4,5, and 6 might destroy their lower ranked oppenents and move straight to tier 1.

Do you understand what I’m saying? This needs to be fixed.

I waited next to the portal in Lions Arch and spammed F right when reset happened. There was an INSTANT queue. Been waiting in queue for almost 2 hours now.. some people in my guild logged in and got in in 5 min, others have been waiting just as long as me.

Why isn’t there a queue line?

Why are these allowed?
