Guild Wars 2

Paid server transfers, although I knew were coming, I was always hoping that it’d take a long time to add these to the game. However, as we can see in this very forum, it’s going to ruin WvW.

Servers are trying to mass recruit people before everyone is placed in a server. Even Sea of Sorrows is trying to recruit guilds, and they’ve won just about every single time they’ve been in T1 and are currently winning by a big margin.

The main issue with WvW has NEVER been people switching servers or guilds leaving. This is a GOOD THING because it adds diversity in your matchups.

For the past 8 weeks before this week, Blackgate and SoR fought and both got extremely sick of each other… after about the third week. Finally TC joined but it still ended up getting boring fighting the same people over and over.

Now with paid server tranfers, where players are stuck on their server (I know, you can PAY to get out, but if you have a large guild, you’re going to lose a lot of members that simply can’t afford it), it’s going to be more of the same old, same old battles between three servers with nothing switching around. The only thing to really stop some servers is people leaving.

There are also a bunch of servers that are stuck between being too good for their current tier but not good enough for their next one. They don’t have much room to grow when it’s a numbers issue.

Either remove paid server transfers (or never add them) or add better rewards in WvW so obtaining the gems to switch servers isn’t equivalent in cost to completely gear a character.

Jedahs.2713:

The commander of Asian MERC players, who does not visit this English forum, would like to say something about the current situation and has asked me to pass on the message:

“It is so unfair to say that we are 2v1ing BG. I spent whole night fighting only JQ yesterday! BG had less than 40 PPT the whole time and was outmanned everywhere. Please stop making these false accusations. BG please start fighting!”

As a BG player, I would agree. This is why I wanted to stay in T2. I don’t feel BG is ready, and for the last 8 weeks our Oceanic/Asian timezones have been karma training because TC/IoJ/SoR had no presence in those timezones, so I’m sure they are pretty rusty when it comes to having to coordinate PvP in the highest tier.

I completely understand that players are going to go after whatever they feel they can take. It’s how you win the game. And unfortunately Blackgate just doesn’t have the correct numbers around the clock to prevent this from happening, and when the time our numbers do get online, they’re fighting a big uphill battle.

I haven’t gotten a chance to WvW much this week, but as long as the 2v1 isn’t as bad as what happened last time we were in T1 (in which we owned nothing and SBI/JQ were camping outside separate sides of our spawn and not attacking each other, and going to 3rd party sites to talk about making alliances within guilds between both servers), there isn’t much wrong.

I just wish people would realize that the more you whine the more it makes the enemy want to attack you rather than the quiet ones.

And I do agree with Cirus. One issue with Blackgate is we have a ton of PuGs. I just wish they’d understand they’d be more useful if they’d join a WvW guild for when they WvW. But then again, full queues on Friday, now outmanned buffs today.

Logged on to see the scores, and it’s nearly dead even. Amazing battles must be happening. I shall join in on them!

Blackgate has never done the 2v1 type of thing. We attack where we need to that would have the ultimate best outcome for Blackgate. We fight for first. Always have, always will. Even if one team has been dominating us (hasn’t happened in a long time) we fight for first.

These queues are so bleh.

Didn’t even get to fight because I log on an hour after reset. I wish ArenaNet, based in Seattle, would have followed Daylight savings so I could log in and join the second the matches reset.

According to this website ^ , SoS just managed to get the crown back.

Good show JQ, you had your fun, but my armour scheme is green. It is time to up our games and show BG the difference between tier 1 and 2

Blackgate was in T1 weeks before SoS was. We knew the difference before you, so there isn’t much you can show us.

Commanders that try to command and know when it’s a good time to turn off their tag – 9/10

Commanders that know what they’re doing and I follow regardless of if we’re wiping or not – 10/10

Commanders that sit in PvE with their tag on and enter that stupid jumping puzzle – 0/10 and need to leave BG forever.

I’d say it’s impressive that you were unlike 95% of the players and actually fought. 95% would have ran for it.

I’m not impressed simply because you killed a bunch of really, really bad players. Nothing against your play style, but theirs. There is no excuse for losing to 4 people, especially elementalists using staff. Nobody pushed, nobody CC’d, and no body knew what they were doing.

I wish I could fight more enemies like that.

style.6173:

Double teams do not work. Any server will attack based on their own interests.

Also, even though someone may feel they are being double teamed, in reality all 3 servers are fighting each other.

This, unless you own nothing and are being camped in your spawn by both enemy servers like SBI and JQ use to do.

I often see people say that we’re double teaming with another server… yet we find ourselves fighting that other server more than the ones making the false claims.

Also the whole “servers should double team the first place server” is a joke. In most matchups one server dominates all. For example, T2. Blackgate has double the 2nd place score, which has been switching between TC and SoR (but mainly controlled by SoR).

TC should be focusing on SoR. Why? Because it keeps them in the tier. This is what IoJ did for a long time to remain in T2 until we finally kicked them out. If they attacked Blackgate, it’d only provoke Blackgate to stop focusing on SoR and focus on getting the TC zerg wiped to stop attacking us. Meanwhile, if TC attacked SoR from somewhere else, it’d split the SoR zerg, making it very likely that either BG or TC will take something from SoR and prevent their point spread.

That’s just the way I see it. With the glinko system or whatever it’s called… getting 2nd place isn’t all that bad.

Why are people saying “good luck in T1” when we’re not really close to T1? It’s going to be the same matchup next week, and unfortunately a lot of our people don’t take the rating system seriously on friday mornings before reset so we lose a chance there to gain points.

- No Jumping Puzzle
-Better rewards, especially for defending (defense should give more rewards than attacking).
- Commander tag goes away if you afk more than 3 minutes or enter a jumping puzzle area

You get a very rare exotic or rare… but the rest is “oh great my inventory is full of barbs”.

I wouldn’t mind some mats being dropped more often in there.

Experience is the best knowledge. Play against good enemies, and you’ll become a good enemy

So let me get this straight…

WM transfers from SBI because they think that T1 is all QQ, excuses, cheating, and unfair play.

So, they decide to then go to the lowest ranked server and… ruin it?

I had fun viewing these threads to see how people were enjoying the game despite being the lowest tier. Its a shame guilds come and ruin it.

Tarnished coast without a doubt. Great class, and they NEVER give up. It’s always a blast fighting them. And I’ve never seen a TC member brag about kills. These guys are always fun to play against.

This kind of annoys me. I love Arahs, which prevents me from raging like a child… but seriously…

I run p3 everyday, so I get around 60-69 badges a day. I had 780 or so badges. I wanted to get the chest piece, the helm, and the leggings on my warrior. I got my warrior to 80, transfered my badges, and walked over the Arah merchant. I made sure I was getting the right piece I wanted.

So I clicked buy. BUT… the token currency doesn’t go down after you purchase something. I, being a fool, didn’t know that, so I didn’t think I had bought it. So, I tried again, and saw everything go red. Wondering if I did my math horribly wrong, I then saw TWO Orrian chest plates in my inventory. Do I need two? Absolutely not.

It’d be nice to have a sell-back option around 5-10 minutes after you purchase a piece of armor from the vendors so mistakes like this can be corrected. I now have to run more Arahs than I’d like to and have to backtrack to get the helm and leggings.

Or at least make it so that when you purchase something your currency goes down rather than staying the same, so mistakes like this are avoided.

Was he downleveled? How can you see someones actual level in wayfarer?

Once again Blackgate wins. Good job Beastgate

Server transfers imo are not a huge issue in this stage of the game. A majority of the WvW community in fact DOES have server pride and loyalty. Many people try to recruit but fail.

Paid transfers would only make it so teams simply have no chance, because many people are too cheap to pay to transfer to a different server. Right now, servers go up and down simply because people join them, and guilds join them.

It’d also be incredibly difficult to get members of your guild to pay to transfer if your guild wishes to. Although people get mad when guilds do this, it’s in the best interest of the players to go where they are happy.

The only problem is bandwagoners, but that’ll always happen. Those that leave your server aren’t players you want anyways because they are generally bad players to begin with. It’s much more rewarding to build your server up instead of joining a different server.

With paid tranfers, the T2 and T1 servers will always be in that tier, and no one can improve past it. This is bad, and also makes it so servers are always fighting the same enemy. I myself am very happy when we get at least one new server to compete against. Paid tranfers end that, and it already gets boring fighting the same people over and over.

The only main issue with WvW is that gold is required to succeed in WvW. Those that actually try to help their server win generally do not have the max stats or legendary weapons because they can’t afford both that and the victories.

The other issue being culling. That needs a fix, and if I have to wait until February to get this fix, I’m just going to go and farm PvE and play a lot less, making me less likely to make gem purchases which help fund ArenaNet. This is something that needs to be addressed immediately, as it is breaking the gameplay.

Just a side story.

I played Guild Wars 1 since launch. I bought every campaign when they first came out. I bought the expansion when it came out. I played that game a lot and really enjoyed it, and watch ArenaNet destroy their PvP and force either GvG, RA, or facing bots in JQ. I was fine with it though, because the gameplay in the game wasn’t broken.

Once GW2 was advertised I instantly wanted to play, and spent 5 years looking at the game and nearly crapped my pants every single time an update about the game was released. I watched nearly every video, and the only time I ever “fake” called in sick to a job was the day the first beta event started so I could be one of the first to play.

I spent a lot of money to go up to Seattle to play the game at Pax Prime for a mere FORTY MINUTES. That’s how into the game I was. I was extremely excited when I heard the release date announced and instantly requested August 25th off so I could play the game all night. I spent over $1000 on a new computer to play this game on max settings without any lag while recording. I also bought all the recording and editting software to record this game. I have also spent $170 on gem purchases. I could have been like a lot of people and bought gold (which I spent some gems on) through bots, but I decided to give my money to ArenaNet because I respected them as a company. Now, I’m somewhat regretting it….

Things were great, but then WvW became the meta. PvE is dead in nearly every server, and all there is to play is WvW. I don’t have much of a problem with that, seeing as I enjoy WvW.

There wasn’t too much of an issue with culling in this game, but it was bad to the point you’d never see what killed you until you were already dead. Zergs would wipe simply because you couldn’t see people.

ArenaNet came up with a brilliant idea. Make it so you can’t see your allies but not your enemies. People stopped complaining about thieves appearing to be permastealthed, or be attacking you constantly without seeing them. People stopped complaining about Portal bombs. No one had much of a problem, except some people claimed they lagged.

Now ArenaNet has changed it back to their terror of portal bombs being the ultimate “tactic” simply because teams are abusing culling. But what is ArenaNet’s brilliant solution? Nerf Portals? Fantastic.

It just amazes me how my gameplay can be ruined and I sit there dead because teams simply rush you and you never see them coming. You never know they are there. And buying the best computer money can buy won’t do a thing about it, simply because ArenaNet’s client has terrible culling issues.

I’m telling you now, as a long player of your games, you NEED to fix this culling problem. Nerfing classes isn’t going to make things better. I feel cheated, and I feel this game is completely broken in WvW because all people are going to do is abuse the culling issues that are in this game.

People have also been saying what I’ve agreed with. What has been buffed in this game besides Warrior longbow? It seems ArenaNet made these wonderful classes, but all the time they get nerfed into Oblivion rather than the real issues with this game being fixed.

I could make a huge list of things you’re doing wrong. Such as, why are dungeons being ignored besides exploits to make them quicker and more annoying instead of making them dynamic (LIKE YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO DO. LOL TROLL IN AC IS SO DYNAMIC!) but instead you’re working on a dungeon such as fractals that goes against your previous philosphy (and for some reason it takes until late January for this problem to be fixed).

Point is, you need to fix culling. That should be your priority. At this point, WvW is basically your game until you start making PvE worth doing besides fractals and AC runs to make money. So, fix this ridiculous crap. Stop making this game feel broken. I earned my computer through working my butt off at my job. Why is it I have to suffer because some people with cardboard box computers can’t run the game on max settings or else they get lag?

I don’t care if the enemies are pixel boxes, at least allow me to SEE THEM.

It’s a shame ArenaNet is hurting the WvW population.

Why a reset ON A FRIDAY again? It seems we only have patches on FRIDAYS. This demoralizes people from logging back in. We lost a lot of people after the patch for the stupid event.

The second thing is culling hasn’t been this bad in AGES. Why reverse it? SoR was completely “abusing” this culling crap in our Garrison. We’d have had it back LONG ago but they wouldn’t appear on our screen. Neither would their mesmers or portals. All of a sudden we’d be surrounded by the enemy.

This crap is ruining WvW. Change it back to where you can’t see Allies, I don’t care. But this is just terrible. What’s worse is ArenaNet is nerfing every single valid tactic because people are QQing that they can’t win with superior numbers. People hate that they simply cannot take over an entire map. Yet, they listen to those vocal minority and ruin the game for everyone thats happy with the state of WvW (before these terrible patches and culling issues 2 hours after reset).

Oh well. I had fun, but it’d been nice to have been able to take over stuff when we deserved it rather than getting wiped by invisible people. The culling so bad that guild claimers don’t spawn when a group of 5 go into a camp.

SoR is fighting well in our Garrison, but really… the 3 top guilds on your server are here and gaining no points elsewhere. Win for Blackgate.

TC will finish 2nd and BG 1st. SoR is failing bad in their best timezone atm.

Having more information about this, especially since ArenaNet enjoys banning people for “trolling” for simply disagreeing with people, would have been nice. Like… in the news section when you log in. Due to how easily it is to get banned for being innocent here, I stopped using the forums. But… I just ended up dead because an enemy zerg appeared right in front of me. This kind of crap needs to go.

i’m really looking forward to this matchup, and i’m especially looking forward to getting our faces smashed in. like urrid, i’m also serious. when we went against BG and later against SoR, and ended up being completely wiped off the maps for most of the match, we got better for it. we watched, learned and improved out of sheer necessity. we were lean and focused in the matches that followed those. up until the dolyak incident, we were getting pretty complacent and sloppy. we stopped paying attention to the little things that we had no choice but to take care of when we went against BG and SoR.

it seems like our focus has come back a bit since the dolyak incident, but we still have a lot of room for improvement. hopefully, BG and SoR will whip us into shape.

i’m also looking forward to seeing some new strategies thrown at us. we can add them to our arsenal, and spend some time working out a counter to them as well. it should be a very beneficial experience for TC.

We have fought both SOR and BG before but both times under the control of Orbs yes we did get our faces stomped in and we did put up as much of a fight as possible. but in the past 6 weeks we have grown SO much and learned even more. i think this match will be closer then most think. It will be good to get in the ring with BG and SOR.

[PiNK]Yetomi

My prediction is TC gets 2nd, SoR gets 3rd. However, if you think these servers are the same ones you’ve fought nearly 2 months ago, you’re in for the surprise yourself. SoR has evolved over the 5 weeks we’ve played them and tried to make things personal. I personally think it’s their downfall. BG meanwhile has been to T1 and back, and held a big lead in T1 the first week until our numbers dropped due to the Halloween event.

The other bad news is I have a feeling the first week may be determined by who has more activity on Christmas.

Cirus.5748:

Interesting. IOJ enter Tier 1 and are flying, they are keeping up with the big boys. The Candycorn patch happens, and they disappear from WvW and get demoted to tier 2.

Then IOJ are in Tier 2 for many weeks, but then the Candy Cane patch happens, they disappear from WvW and get demoted to tier 3.

:P, we’ve found IOJ’s weakness!

IoJ wasn’t flying in T1. They also got kicked out in T1 before the Halloween update. That happened in the first week BG was in T1, but the result you said happened to us. After Halloween, we had no one show. The problem with our PuGs is consistency. The 1st week in T2, our numbers nearly doubled.

GW2 is far better than WoW.

MuffinMan.3285:

Raven Paradox.1860:

Blackgate also got 2-3 new Guilds, which is why many of us that played a lot last week are able to enjoy the PvE aspects of the game and the event.

So, many of BG is taking time off, its just we have a much stronger oceanic, so now we’re getting the points over IoJ.

It’s never a problem to go where you belong. IoJ had no chance of winning in T2. I personally would rather win in a lower tier than lose in a higher tier.

Don’t blame the event though. IoJ has been going downhill. It happens.

so jump ship to the easier win? if thats how you want to get your wins then cool
but IoJ going down hill? then how did we gain evolution points every match? (until this week) and I can blame the event because the same thing happened with Halloween event…almost 0 presence in W3 but right after we were putting up the points again

Jump ships? I’ve been on Blackgate since September. Not sure what you’re talking about.

I guess IoJ is just mad that they no longer can get PPT when no one else is playing. I’ve yet to see IoJ get to +200 ppt this week and they only finished 2nd once. You simply don’t belong in T2. IoJ isn’t the only server that has wintersday going on. A lot of our guildmates have been gone doing PvE events because we had to pull longer shifts last week.

You don’t belong here. Make all the excuses you want, it doesn’t change that fact. As another member said. The scoring system is flawed. But the way IoJ was gaining most their points was in the Oceanic time where we lacked activity. Now we have some new guilds (that joined on their own will) to fill that slot, and are beating IoJ, so those points now go to Blackgate.

I’m not trying to be rude or troll IoJ. But it’s been a simple fact for awhile that IoJ should have moved down. I don’t understand why ArenaNet would keep a team winning for 5 weeks straight in the same tier instead of switching it with a team thats lost 5 weeks straight and think that’s balanced.

You guys will have more fun in T3 anyways where you can actually compete.

Proud of TC for finally entering T2. Now let’s kick out SoR xD

Blackgate also got 2-3 new Guilds, which is why many of us that played a lot last week are able to enjoy the PvE aspects of the game and the event.

So, many of BG is taking time off, its just we have a much stronger oceanic, so now we’re getting the points over IoJ.

It’s never a problem to go where you belong. IoJ had no chance of winning in T2. I personally would rather win in a lower tier than lose in a higher tier.

Don’t blame the event though. IoJ has been going downhill. It happens.

I think everyone that has posted in the WvW forums has at least 1 infraction lol.

I’m kind of getting bored of look at the backside of SoR when they’re running away. Funny how they brag about taking an unguarded BG BL when they are fleeing from us in EBG or their own borderlands. A valid strategy, but not one you would want to brag about.

I still don’t get why SoR is focused on us when it’s proven that they can’t beat us. Should just get IoJ out of here and have some new people to fight.

Let’s talk about Portals… a skill many use in WvW, and very few believe ruin the game for them.

As an active player in an active WvW guild, we use portals often. We’ve also had portals used against us.

The only time Portals were ever “overpowered” was when there were culling issues and heal-all skills. Those however have been fixed properly. Ever since the culling update, people have been complaining less about Thieves being “perma-stealthed”, showing that the culling issue has worked.

So, why is it ArenaNet is thinking of nerfing this skill that offers mobility of zergs that is not overpowered and simply gives you a tactical advantage if used properly but doesn’t give any disadvantage of the enemy if they play correctly? Mesmers are no longer perma-stealthed due to the culling bug, and I’ve noticed myself seeing enemy mesmers run up to my zerg for an obvious portal. Because of this, we’ve been easily able to counter the portal bombs.

Portals add mobility of zergs and prevent this from being a zerg vs zerg with a no-mans land in the middle and makes it seem more of a tactic vs tactic over numbers vs numbers game.

Portal is fine, and it isn’t broken. Please stop giving into the vocal minority that complains about it because they haven’t experienced the portal bombing tactic yet. This skill is perfectly fine. No more nerfs to it please.

It’s hire. Free bags and badges. :P Na but really… even if the legendary defenders are bugged… people should know those areas are off-limits. Not cool guys.

Doomdesire.9365:

Too much to handle for SoR. Most of our guys have been staying up late, and it’s finals week(at least here in NA, not to sure about EU/Oceanics), so the fact that we even got a lead shows that either SoR is made of a bunch of procrastinators who refuse to study, or we pulled off a miracle…

It’s not just finals week for SoR.

Special shoutout to everyone on BG that participated in the comeback. It was quite interesting going to bed the time I normally wake up.

IoJ didn’t beat Blackgate they just happened to take more supply camps from SBI that week.

Peetee.9406:

Raven Paradox.1860:

It’s time to bring Tarnished Coast in here. They may not be as good as SoR, but like SoR they don’t give up.

Now what would make you think that?

We fought TC. They had no chance of winning that week but were there until reset the entire time. These guys don’t give up. They’re just not as good as SoR. Not to embarass them… but… 36 alphas, 5 omegas vs 1 pot of oil….

Peetee.9406:

The servers in Tier 2 (BG,SoR,IoJ) have all improved drastically over the last month. It would be nice to see one of them have a chance in Tier 1 to see how they would compete. Unfortunately, none of them will get a shot in Tier 1 because they keep playing each other to a relative draw in Tier 2. This is the problem with the current system.

It’s also evident at the bottom of the ladder as well, Devona’s Rest and Kaineng would be a tough challenge for say Gate of Madness, Sorrow’s Furnace or Anvil Rock but will not get the opportunity to play them because they keep playing each other to a draw in Tier 8.

Actually it’s been like this for the past 3 weeks…

WEEK 1

BG wins
SoR 2nd
IoJ 3rd

Weel 2

BG 1st
IoJ 2nd
SoR 3rd

Week 3

BG 1st
SoR 2nd
IoJ 3rd

and now it’s

SoR 1st
BG 2nd
IoJ 3rd.

This week hasn’t ended yet, and isn’t even halfway.

It’s a common trend, BG should either move up or IoJ should move out. Otherwise the way the ratings go, it’ll be the same teams fighting each other in every tier over and over again.

Mikitten058:

To the BG @ SOR BL holding up in Bay..It was fun, I dc’d after we got through outter.
:x

That was KnT, and this is the time we normally log out. I had to log 20 minutes ago because I’m getting ready for work

IoJ won’t beat SoR again. IoJ just needs to get out. This week is strictly SoR vs Blackgate, like it has been for the previous 3 weeks as well.

IoJ, no disrespect, but you guys aren’t a T2 server, and I wish ArenaNet would fix their ranking system so a team that continues to win competes against other teams that continue to win LIKE THEY SAID WHEN THEY WERE DEVELOPING THE GAME.

It’s time to bring Tarnished Coast in here. They may not be as good as SoR, but like SoR they don’t give up. IoJ is like the lonely bully that randomly throws things at people to make them wonder who keeps throwing things at them.

I’m a Thief. I use shortbow in WvW and Daggers in PvE. Only time I use daggers is when we’re chasing an enemy and I’m losing my zerg because they’re chasing him too much, so I put an end to his life.

As for Daggerstorm… I use it when portal bombing. Get 5 thieves in a PB using that and GG.

I was wondering how our small zergs were wiping much bigger ones haha. I started running for my life until someone in mumble was telling me to turn around because we were wiping them. All of a sudden a bunch of allies appear out of no where.

I like this system better though. I’d rather be surprised by wiping an enemy instead of being wiped.

It’s about time SoR makes things interesting. It’s a shame a lot of them are talking like they’ve won with a 6k pt lead on a Sunday. Hasn’t this happened before? Anyone want to refresh my memory of how that outcome went? Oh right… I think SoR placed 3rd that week…

Reslinal.2359:

To be fair, after 4 weeks the forum posting is finally getting a bit interesting. I am tired of hearing the same “fun fights”, “GJ everyone” talk anymore. Hopefully the rivalry can spice things up a bit, WvW is getting a little stale.

Unfortunately, as a whole we have respect for SoR. Before this week we haven’t had any trash talking and after seeing JQ and SBI non-stop complain about every single tactic we threw at them (that they tried to mimic, and eventually failed at), it’s nice to have these “GG” fights. There is no rivalry. It’s simply someone that’s mad trying to troll. It happens in every game.

No disrespect to IoJ, but I think BG and SoR need to help push them out of the tier. We’re losing pts, so it’s just going to be this matchup for months to come. We all want a change. IoJ has been playing for 2nd every single time I’ve seen them. It’s time for them to pack their bags and leave.

pot.6805:

Blackgate would be a great choice. We don’t have huge guilds on our server, most are medium to small sized so you’d fit in great here. We also have a very active PvE population with many people doing PvE. We have good organization in WvW and currently sit at the top of tier 2. And no q’s for WvW except on reset night!

Here here!

Blackgate is a good WvW community and I personally love running dungeons. We almost always have people interested in running any of them. In fact I personally hope you guys do pick Blackgate because I would love more people to do dungeons with.

Our community is mainly WvW oriented, but we aren’t elitist. A lot of the guild leaders here are very professional and polite when giving their orders and we work very well together as a community. Every guild respects one another and coordinates well. We have our own website and mumble for everyone on the entire server to use.

If you’d like to try Blackgate, feel free to send me a PM and I can give you the mumble info. You can join any guilds channel and see how we like to roll and get familiar with the community.

We also help make each other better. On our website many of the guilds post videos of their gameplay in WvW to help the server coordinate better and look for any positives and any negatives we need to work on. I’ve been on multiple servers and I feel like Blackgate has given the best opportunity to learn WvW better.

We also don’t faceroll. We’ve won the past 4 weeks, but there are always intense battles going on between SoR and IoJ.

covenn.7165:

pot.6805:

Wow, people still complain about “nightcapping”? And in tier 2 for that matter?
Lets hope you never reach tier 1 where they have round the clock coverage.

Come now, surely you know the difference between complaining abut night capping and making fun of people bragging about being ahead because they are night capping right?

….or does your judicious use of your namesake render that as an impossibility?

Actually, you guys are the ones doing the “bragging” about night capping when a vast majority of our server is asleep during the “NA primetime”.

SoR is just a stacked server. The amount of times we’ve beaten them while heavily outmanned is laughable. I nearly got 2 characters to 80 simply by farming experience off them, and roughly 200 badges this week alone by farming their guilds.

If this “Indo” chick is seriously the leader of TW… it’s easy to assume they’re as bad as we hear all the time. Hypocrites are the biggest idiots in the game. I laugh how they complain about night capping and PvDoor, yet that’s what they’ve been doing while hiding in our borderlands, talking trash about KnT when we’ve been in IoJ the entire time fighting 20v60v60 and winning everytime. It’s only when we log out in which either of those servers can take it, which… omg… is PvDoor. In fact, the only time I’ve seen any of our enemies take our stuff is because we simply weren’t at that location.

Time for bed. I hope to see more TW so I can farm more badges. I hear ascended is coming to WvW soon. Got to get prepared to get a full set. I bet I’ll have enough badges at the end of this week at this rate.

Had some fun farming some TW members tonight. And HIRE from IoJ. Whoever keeps hiring them is bad with money. Looks like BG is taking another weekend off. Oh well. We’ll win like we’ve done the past 3 weeks.

BG- 6866, 215 ppt
SoR- 6751, 285 ppt
IoJ- 5539, 195 ppt

Same thing as always, SoR wins NA, then BG comes in for pvedoor against both realms, then IoJ will come in to pvedoor after that, then NA will come around again and SoR will win that time slot, etc etc etc

Nothing has really changed. Personally, I’m still waiting for any guild on any of the servers to accept our guild v guild challenge.

Though as a side note, it’s been fun in BG BL today. Good fights as always.

Your in Tempest Wolves right? We’ve seen your guild multiple times the past 3 days and have beaten you guys (while outmanned) every time. I have footage as proof and will be uploading it as well. You guys wanted a guild challenge yet the only times we’ve ever run was because we had to defend something more important from IoJ (Which is why you guys got Greenbriar a few hours ago, and then fled the borderlands because neither you nor IoJ could kill 20 KnT defending the keep).

Also this whole “PvDoor” happens in SoR’s NA primetime as well. Everytime those of us that are in the NA primetime log in we are fighting an uphill battle, and have almost always kept the lead or regained it quickly while being outmanned.

As for the 2v1… that doesn’t happen on our server, and anything that appears to do that is mere coincidence. We dealt with being the 1 when we were in T1 and it was incredibly pathetic. JQ prefered camping our spawn over taking things that had walls down and they could just walk in, and SBI was hardly any different, they just had the numbers to walk in and take JQs stuff, but they still prefered camping us. EBG was never flipped. I’ve played everyday for these past 3-4 weeks and haven’t seen any double teaming compared to that. If you (SoR) really think you can beat Blackgate, you’re going to absolutely LOVE being in T1….

Anyways, for those in IoJ BL… that was some fun fights man. I can’t believe we held both SoR and IoJ off. Might have lost it if the SoR zerg didn’t send in a bad mesmer.

All bosses with extreme high hp should get more phases imo.
A boss like lupi takes a while to kill but every phase it’s like you face a different boss.
It would make some boring bosses with just a lot of hp more fun to fight.

Yeah. I hate HotW. Those guys have TOO much health and are just one stage.

That’s good news. I didn’t get to do the Ancient Karka due to my schedule and I think Fractals is the worse thing to happen to this game so I don’t do them. Thanks for the info. I hope ArenaNet does do this, but also upgrades some of the bosses in the current dungeons. These dungeons we’re doing now shouldn’t be forgotten about because the content gets so outdated.

I donno why there are so many warriors. I think it’s a noob thing. Or they’re just fun to play. I’m enjoying playing my warrior very much and it’s only lvl 49. I have a mesmer, guardian, thief, and necro at 80. Warriors probably the most fun to play.

I think Guardian is boring, they are just good support characters and can take a beating. I personally find them boring. Not enough damage and slow attacks. No matter how I spec, I still feel like a tank.

I sold some gems for gold. You know why? I make real life money faster than ingame money. Well, I use until until the dungeon update which gives you more money for completing it.

BTW, I have full exotics (berserker) with 6/6 superior runes of the eagle, bloodlust on dagger and shortbow. All from dungeons that I enjoyed doing. We all didn’t buy our gear with RL money.
