Hello Deso <3
Hugs and kisses,
We played on Deso border today and focused kodash mostly coz they decided to steal my lovely lake tower after reset.
Guys, belive me, you can more than simply arrowcarting, you have organized guilds like EoW – learn from them. It’s boring when you have bunch of commanders – 1 died and 5 another ressing him and they dunno what to do.
Deso, nice first meeting, but we should have more openfield. Pikens have less defense at towers than you on borders. Let’s rock.
Any guild up for gvg 20vs20 – send me an ingame mail or whiser me.
We tried to engage you in the open field multiple times from 10-12pm but it was really hard when we was 30-40 pugs and you was 50 with 30 GH and 20 pugs, when you were on Deso you rarely ran with a tag on but today you had a lot of players from different guilds with you :s, anyway a lot of respect to you guys!
Deso do you have guilds or are you like Visunah ?:)
Mostly like Vizunah, the only solo guilds deso had were GH and VoTF but they are long gone now it’s mostly pugs or blob guilds I’m afraid.
Naaah, I don’t think so.
Desolation got some guilds, I had really much fun to fight them.
A very good example for this is the guild Eternal Invictus [INVI]
They move on their own and aren’t that much; when we fought them they had good sizes like 20-25, it think that should be fine.
Sure [GoD] sometimes have big sizes, but I also saw them with 20-30ppl.It’s nothing against this huge size of FG with 40-50 and maybe more (correct me if I am wrong).
I’m a little bit disapointed about Forsaken Gamers, last matchup i saw them moving with numbers like 30-35 what is already ok, so you are able to have a chance to win against a coordinated guild group.
Jue!, forgive me, i’m really sorry that I have to write this, but it was a pain to have no chance with our 22 ppl on this resetBUT!:
I am pleased that we have Piken in a matchup again, there were many guilds we couldn’t fight last time!
I hope we can meet Goodgame and Glory of War (EoW vs. GoW — haha :P )
And i am really happy to fight INVI and TUP again, it was really much fun last matchupSee u on the Battlefield
I was talking in the context of guilds who raid alone, very rarely do you see INVI or GoD without commander tags on borderlands so usually they are in groups of 40-50 people.
Deso do you have guilds or are you like Visunah ?:)
Mostly like Vizunah, the only solo guilds deso had were GH and VoTF but they are long gone now it’s mostly pugs or blob guilds I’m afraid.
Making siege trade-able has really made WvW a lot worse for me, golems and omegas are now so cheap that servers like Vinzunah who travel in groups of 50+ just build 4-5 golems outside of each tower and use them to cap. It’s ridiculous.
Smaller groups or guild groups only travel with 10-25 which is how WvW should be played imo as then there’s no skill lag can only build 1-2 golems and then have no one to defend them or just use rams like before. But big blobs like Vizunah for example make 5 golems then have 40 people defending them whilst taking a t3 tower.
I’m curios as to why world ranks are character bound not account bound, has Devon or another Anet dev ever given a reason for this?
I have 4 level 80 Characters that I like to switch up and play in WvW depending on how I feel but as some are rank 100 and others rank 15 it sucks because I’m at a disadvantage to others even though I’ve played WvW just as long.
I´m player from Elona and i see every day GD – its not true that GD play with 24 – Your Guys never play under 35 ppl on a BL, most days 35 – 45 and it makes me angry that You give nothing for our Community. ECL i see You playing with 15 – 20 ppl and it looks like better than a lot of other guilds from our Server. GD are haters and flamer and all Pugs are bad.
Ps.: Sry for my bad english
Support, I’m from Desolation and I always see GD with a blob of 40-50 never below 30 at least.
Good luck in whatever you do IRL, you guys set the benchmark for WvW guilds and are still far ahead of any EU or NA guild.
You will get a message in game when it’s released, I expect in the next few hours it will be accessible.
Hi everyone,
We’re aware of this behavior for the Dragon Bash meta-achievement and are looking into it. Thanks for your patience !
ETA on fix please?
but boon is a guild mediocre, I fight two months in seafarer, and they were not considered, many, but very bad, katie continuous leader?, when I see a boon in a map, I switched to another …only blob, no skills.
Seafarer before was a good server, now a blob, R.I.P seafarer “guilds” rest.
Blob servers:
1. Vizunah square
2. Seafarer’s rest
3. Abaddon
4. Elona
5. Riverside
6. Kodash:(
This list would be fairly accurate if Jade Sea were second.
I also think this match up has turned into blob vs blob which kinda sucks with all the guilds in it.
Deso appears to be doing well, why all the negativity?
Deso have always been one of the best in prime-time, but come night and morning Viz and JS will reset all of Deso’s t3 stuff :P.
The smell of garlic everywhere… LULZ…
French really are number 1 blobbers
feel bad for deso :[
no lag so far tonight fingers crossed
Very good idea, i look forward to seeing a dev’s response on whether this could affect it so badly. I for one do believe the API sites could be putting regions under heavy stress for example WvW map readers making WvW lag.
But why would it only make the lag so bad for the same 4 hours everyday?
(edited by Repuran.1859)
completely unplayable tonight for 3 hours of prime-time, sort this out Anet kitten .
I looked at a few of the diag logs, and mine included.
It seems to all point to level3.net losing a lot of data packets. Maybe it’s time to have a chat with level3.net?
Good spot, definitely something going wrong when it reaches them.
Lag started again tonight at a similar time (15-20 minutes ago).

almost time for the daily lag slot again :P
So the majority of BB’s points is from nightcapping non-europeans? Vizunah V2 then.
I really don’t respect servers which are good because of night-capping and although Elona blob at times they still gain their points n the daytime and as for Desolation everyone knows their suffering from big guild losses atm but one blob guild like IRON won’t kill of an entire server for good, they will be back.
Hey guys we’re currently looking into this issue. To help us along with our investigation, could you please provide your location in addition to your ISP and Netdiag reports. To create a net diag report, please follow the steps below:
1. Navigate to your Guild Wars 2 folder.
2. Right-click on “GW2.exe” and select “Create Shortcut.”
3. Right-click on “GW2.exe – Shortcut” and select “Rename.”
4. Rename this file to “Guild Wars 2 Diagnostic.”
5. Right-click on “Guild Wars 2 Diagnostic” and select “Properties.”
6. Locate the “Target” line and add the following to the end “-diag”
Your target line should look like this: “C:\Games\Guild Wars 2\GW2.exe” -diag7. Click “Ok” to save your changes.
8. Double click “Guild Wars 2 Diagnostic” to start the test.
Once completed, please click “View Results” and save the results to a text file on your desktop. Once saved, please attach that to this thread (be sure to click “More posting & formatting options…” at the bottom).
Thanks everyone!
Thanks for finally acknowledging this issue, hundreds now have this problem and I really think it stems from Anet’s end ;/.

Rubber-banding and massive lag from 6-9pm GMT every night.
Attachments:
support, had the same problem.
same problem for me.
yeah happened every night at this time for me for last 2 weeks, I just play other games or watch TV for the slot it is :P
Anyone think reinstalling Guild Wars will help or not even worth trying?
Weird how 75% with lags are Sky Broadband customers (including myself), maybe there is a problem with Sky and the Guild Wars 2 servers as there’s not many BT/Virgin customers having lags :s.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. It stands to reason. Sky is probably the largest ISP in the UK right now with their bundles. So more people, more problems.
I had this problem on BT. I then switched to sky which provided a faster more stable connection and the problem is still there. I don’t think AN should be given any excuses to not sort this out.
If you look at market share for internet in the UK, Sky are still third behind BT and Virgin yet nearly every problem here is Sky so I think there’s more to it than Anet’s servers not liking Sky Broadband xD
Nuked local.dat, seemed to help. May be because users stopped logging in and demand dropped. No diea really.
What do you mean by nuked local.DAT?
Weird how 75% with lags are Sky Broadband customers (including myself), maybe there is a problem with Sky and the Guild Wars 2 servers as there’s not many BT/Virgin customers having lags :s.
Massive skill lag spikes with no other lag on other stuff and occasional crashes, way to go Anet.
Same for me everyday from 6-9pm GMT and other online games run fine. Submitted multiple reports to Anet and still nothing despite making the game unplayable fro many in prime time :/.
All games are running well for me except Guild Wars.

Completely unplayable from 6-10pm everyday since southsun patch.

I’m using WTFast as a workaround but it’s only free for a month so I hope Anet fix it within 30 days but hey download the trial if you want to play but can’t cos of lag.
Couldn’t even use skills tonight, Vizunah bring skill lag to every match up it sucks :/
I’ve had the same problem for the last week or so, no lag on Teamspeak or my browser so it’s definitely server side.
wow Oo
nice organized scouts,attacks on towers/garrisons and zerging..but the 1on1 with vz are bad jokes until now..i hope i get some better the next daysgot vz have some nice small scale guilds ? (=
if yes tell me their names plz would be nice so i can watch out for them
The only good guild they had was WL, now all their guilds are either terrible or blob with other guilds.
Getting tired of constantly being double teamed by SFR and Kodash in EB…
Mainly SFR that is just constantly bashing on Deso. There’s no dynamics of a 3 vs 3 fight in this tier.
I agree with you and I’m from SFR but ask yourself this, if Desolation had the upper hand with numbers like SFR atm would Desolation be doing the same thing?
I think so simply cos of the history the two servers have.
I cannot of course speak for the entire server (nobody can!), but I think the answer is NO.
It is more of a cultural thing.
Many Desolation players are individualistic players, who actually like small scale. In all our zerg fights I can often hear our players complain (“too many, too much lag, I go to switch to more empty map…”). We are still by far the best tpvp server and many of our WvWvW players are also active in pvp:
https://leaderboards.guildwars2.com/en/eu/pvpIt really seems the other top servers care more about the points than we do. Most of our players just want a fight and some of our players still lack 100% world completion so they are playing to get the last points of interests and vistas and I am happy to help them with that. I know I am going to get flamed for this: SFR players write here that Deso is master of siege and they are themselves so bad in using siege. But so far as a PuG commander at Deso BL I have witnessed almost completely opposite story. If it just possible SFR players will rather sit all day next to a superior arrow cart and farm foolish Deso players who get in range. And there is nothing wrong about it. People are entitled to enjoy different play style and it was Arenanet, who made ACs way too overpowered. Note that I mostly play at Deso BL and I cannot see what is happening in other maps!
Already in tier #1 we were often ganged by the two servers. The outmanned “buff” should never be visible to enemies as it really seems to act like an encouragement for the enemies: “oh here is a weak one, I can punish easily”. Just like school bullies they team up to make their victory even easier.
If we would have superior numbers compared to the other 2 servers, I think the following would happen: We would attack both, play really aggressively and totally wipe the others, even when it would sometimes mean losing objectives like a tower or a keep, just for the fun of having sweet revenge and killing tons of enemy players. The lack of resistance would soon however make it boring and people would go back to pve or spvp/tpvp, or whatever they enjoy more.
Deso is best in PvP rankings because of TP and I’ve seen 4 of them in the last week on SFR Borderlands. They really do pack a punch and have killed me numerous times, would be really great if more Paragon members came to WvW for Desolation. I do think you’d target SFR more than Kodash if you had the numbers though :P.

you mean CoN, NoE and iddq?
Nope we was running separate raids but sometimes came together when Deso blob attacked 1 of our structures but numerous times it was just one of us vs GoD, INVI, GT and WDR.
Some serious blobbing from Desolation tonight on Kodash Borderlands, SFR had a pug group and CoN both running separately but Desolation decided to blob us with their 3 biggest guilds (you know who you are). Why can’t you run in separate groups instead of blobbing together?
Where is deso when we need them:) Its really hard to take sfr hill with con and an entire randomzerg in it^^
Still fun, even when i die every 10 minutes:(
Most of the time it was just CoN in hills tbh and even when the random zerg came I’m pretty sure Kodash still had more at least at the start anyway. Had fun fights though.
Have to give regards to our people on EB yesterday too, despite the 1vs2 situation, greatly outnumbered and under immense pressure, we still kept respawning, going back into the fight, have to give respect to the people who didn’t surrender, many thanks, also thanks to our commanders, who despite being there, let me to continue commanding until the situation got solved = SFR&Kodash stopped 2vs1 and we reclaimed our land.
At one point we was at inner of Kodash T3 keep (using the golems we used to take your keep) but they had 1,000 supply and over 10 arrow carts so we failed in taking it. So it was far from a 2v1.
I was enthusiastic when this week started. We had some good fights, it was tight and intense for a while. That enthusiasm is all gone now. Sort of back to the situation we had in tier 1 with Vizunah. Having two servers that didn’t have the numbers outside primetime isn’t all that interesting. Alright, we may a few hours at night where we manage to get some points with some tiny groups scattered about, but even that seems to slip away now. At least there is no point in pulling those extra hours anymore.
Waking up to tier 3 towers, keeps. Trying to do something about it, but then get countered by a group of 60 SFR. People here can’t be bothered trying anymore, you are no fun. At this rate your odds of facing Vizunah again next week will drastically increase. Weekend wasn’t bad and it was fun while that lasted. I’m not the one to judge or blame players in particular, but I want you to know.
SFR didn’t nightcap until two days ago, Deso nightcapped all of our t3 stuff even EB keep over the weekend so now SFR is simply doing the same.
Hands down to SFR on their homeland this evening. Despite the fact that Ive been experiencing massive lag spikes since last friday, we were unable to take Hills. Worthy match and definitely gave us a hard time figuring every possibility out. Too bad that the Siege Placement bug arrised, as we were having a great time.
It was fun trying to defend T3 Bay and Hills at the same time with one commander, Kodash had about 60 at Bay and Deso about 40 at Hills. Sadly we lost bay in the end and could only focus on hills but still had some fun fights. Deso was mainly AFTL and EXG if I remember correctly and SFR were CoN and some smaller guilds. The siege bug did help us tbh :P.

Sfr plays no blob lol
yesterday 8-10 pm sfr border
con + random? zerg = 80+ blob
only skill 1 works but sfr plays no blob,lol lol lol
CoN was playing on deso border but we got called to SFR because it was 80 Kodash vs 40 SFR so we came to protect bay.
Great fun on EB this afternoon not sure where the Deso blob was. Props to Kodash for actually letting us reset Stonemist really respect you for that.
Deso really blobbing up on EB today with 60vs20 :/.
