Guild Wars 2

Kryank.8069:

I have never suggested we will win the league, the league winners will be DL, coverage and numbers will decide that, we are just here for the fun fights the league system is completely flawed and is not indication of skill just server coverage and numbers. RoF have always suffered with a fair weather PvE crowd who disappear in a hard matchup and poor early morning and daytime coverage, the German servers have better coverage and will win it. As long as we are having fun and having good fights when we roll all is good!!

I’d love to see RoF win the league but we have to be realistic in our expectations for the above mentioned reasons.

You are wrong, RoS and Dzagonur have similar coverage I think, more decent guilds by RoS side give them better score. You will see it next week when RoF will face RoS

Kryank.8069:

I was making fun at this post when Sin said we were the only good guild on RoF, and some people seem to find my response amusing!!

Surly one decent guild is not enough to win bronze league, even with your high numbers. RoS has at last 3 decent guilds, and one moved from Blacktide…

@up
Next time I will make some pictures to refresh your memory.

Darkstorn.5423:

First of all the Germans themselves admitted in our match-up thread that they made an alliance so no they don’t always play fairly. Secondly in BT border TaG never stacked with the blob we were running at least 2 different teams. Lastly about WSR keep in EB you have to blame the total lack of skill of our puggers in EB the map was in que always after the reset (at least until i went to sleep at 1:15 server time in the morning) they are just that bad and prefer to karma train wooden towers than spend 30 mins – 1 hour in a keep assault that is sieged up

When we started to farm TaG, they formed one blob with other guilds (which names I don’t remember)

Herr der Friedhoefe.2490:

I will plead guilty to leading a blob in EB last night. I even mined some mithril so the tail could catch up. I know, I’m bad…

BT and WSR? Please come back and flip the mercenary camps. We all need that achievement. How about, we let you keep your Keeps, so you can do the jumping puzzle too?

Hey, that’s better than the deal RoF got from the Germans last week!

Surly you lose to Germans only due to low skill level, yesterday your guilds blob (about70 ppl) has failed in BT border, somehow with those numbers you were not be able to capture WSR wp in enternal.
Your only one good guild [Tag] spent all reset in our border running with blob. I m sure you are putting much more pressure on us, maybe this is just agreement… so don’t cry about Germans, they always play fairly.

Your blob [Tag] and rest about 60-70 ppl spent all reset in our border, nice loot anyway, but maybe you put some interesting in fighting WSR who made wp in enternal, or there is some kind of agreement between you two?

The final countdown to bronze league has just started. If you think about moving to 3rd league there are few reasons to do it:
- no queues ,
- no insane big blobs (any good guild can handle it with 20+ ppl),
- no skill lags,
- fastest leveling and farming in WvW you have ever faced.

Why Blkacktide is perfect place?
- we have the best massive WvW guild here,
- best ratio – score/ppl coverage,
- participation in our huge progress, we have achieved 1200+ rank with less ppl then we had at level 1000+,
- we can win this league, we fight for gold not for pride like anyone below us,
- no queues and skill lags all day long ,
- you don’t need monster hardware to turn on GW2 with maxed details and enjoy full HD in WvW,
- all types of game are available on our server : gvg, zergs, roaming, PvE,
- very high population – means we have good potential to be unleashed,
- many well organized WvW guilds that you can join or cooperate (Bt war, None, POL, SS, IX , SHN) and many more,
- all tools you need for professional gameplay (voice communicators, cooperation between all guilds)
- international community.

See You on Blacktide!

Yes, join Blacktide, we surely will become dark horse of bronze league. We have the best massive wvw guild here (with many players who remember Blacktide gold medals). At reset this guild was able to hold all Fort Ranik (1500+ rank) border for hours, there was nothing they could do about this with their 100 ppl blob

We have got videos when you die by BT war in less then 10 seconds. 70 ppl in blob I saw only once in this matchup and that was at RoS side when you took SM few days ago, and half of this blob had [INC] tag

Amazing achievement, especially when you run in group 2-3 bigger About blobs – we saw them every day and fight against them almost always. Solo guild rides on BT ? Don’t saw this, maybe [None] sometimes. Borders almost empty, fun only on ethernal.

GG and GL in next week.

Our video from this week will be out tomorrow, going to link there if I don’t forget (anyway will be in our site).

Yes, it is not “achievement” at all. I just corrected your guild mate about [INC]quick deaths in equal fights against BT war guild, and 70 ppl blobs he saw. I wonder if this will appear in your film, if not I can send you a link also.

Nice to see mr. Devitz, after few quick deaths here, seems to changed his mind about BT a little bit , I remember what he said about it last time, and I hope yours memory isn’t worst then mine. We just need more challenging opponents to rise, and I m sure it will come as soon as we will rise in league. There is just no need to use any higher organization skills in T9,T8, and it is just big fun for roaming ppl anyway, personally I really like it the way it is here now.

Devitz, as he wrote here, he needs more BT “frags” for achievement…what a spirit of real warrior… that’s all about [INC] and let the rest stay in silence.

Gj to all Blactiders for this next T8 victory in a row.

Join Blacktide, we are on rampage in EU T8. Just few semi-pro/pro guilds more to dominate bronze league. We have no queues all day long, no skill lags, no insane huge blobs here, we have few good guilds, and at least one big if you like real large-scale battles (you can contact me to join that big one;)). Many Slavs are here (no better home for Polish or Russian ppl) but also strong presence of native speaking English players is noticeable.
Here are some samples of our fun:

Good luck to everyone, reset was pretty nice. Our old polish “friends” [INC] joined RoS, we gave them warm welcome

From BT War with love “champions”:)

Greetings to all Blacktiders for that victory! We defeated most trolling by night servers from bottom corner

:D

Dragona.4062:

Wasn’t us, we run max. 25 ppl and that’s really more than enough for most fights in this matchup.

Lol, with 25 ppl you just cant move out of your mass AC fire all day long.

The truth is that in large scale (30+) open field fights (for this WvW was made) only BT exist on some decent level in this matchup. Nothing has changed about FoW, they are still bunkered in keeps with all zerg inside and tons of AC during daytime and make some points deep at night. I see no progress on this server, and we have faced them much too often during last few months:)

Sad to see RoS agony in WvW. Last time we met I told you guys that you will drop to our rank (you can check it in my posts), but you just dropped even below.

O come on man ! if u have ratio of ppl 4:1 everywhere and you can’t take all maps you are just too high. Scoring should be made step by step to get perfect state but idea is clear, and i wrote about it.

It should looks like this:

Dragonax.6487:

I like this idea, but it should not work based on the server population, but on the present number of all sides in the WvW map.

Sure, presence in WvW (at a time) maps only counts. But overall in all borders. This outnambered buff which was included already is good enough. Now tweak score and Vabbi can beat Vizunah Square puerly due to skilled players (guilds), that would be huge thing for WvW community.

It still doesn’t fix blobing (which is non-fixable problem) but it would change everything in Gw2 WvW

They should put an condition resistance like in other games like Diablo 3 (fire, poison, all resistance etc.) I don’t get it, why is out of GW2?

Scoring system is to work out, idea is HUGE, SIMPLE and should work great.

Tribio.8531:

Sin.4130:

No, it is just equal fight. ANet just DO IT! it will work great

Jeezes, why didn’t you mention than: If outnumber 1:4, just do our damage and healings * 4
?
Indeed, stupid..

Something tells me you didn’t think this entirely through..

We are not talking about buffs for players but only about tweaking score to make match equal to servers real strength.

No, it is just equal fight. ANet just DO IT! it will work great

Only way to fix population issue is tweaking income of server which is outnumbered. For example if there is 1:4 ppl ratio on two servers, all income of lower server should be multiple x4.

I can’t understand why ANet didn’t figure it out, it is so simple, and should work perfect.

Wemil.7052:

Sin.4130:

Just wait to see how it will work. WvW needs fresh blood. Fighting for pride is just not good enough. Surly it will break some servers, but others may rise. This mode will never be fair, but ANet should make it more fun, and league is good start.

Top tiers have heavy coverage during day (lags, queues), it is question of only night to improve their ranks, and this can be break only by other time zones. So basically, no way for all to transfer for profits.

I can tell you this. a lot of americans night capping morning force from na want to come to eu when this league starts problem is.

TOO MANY. a lot of NA pugs from lower tiers will come to top 3 servers in EU because they want to win this.

we are talking massive massive heavy ques all hours 4h all times around 24/7

Glory for the winners! I thought You Americans have it in veins. It’s a competitive World. (and fun with no lags and queues for rest)

Agrios.9071:

We wanted to get out of the range of servers like Blacktide, which failed sadly.

Surely without nightcrew you will drop to our rank (BT) because during day I see no difference between our servers.

pejot.4806:

Wrong, we downgraded T3 DL bay as well, I also see a blue SM in EB ^.^

at deep night? I have never seen them blue. Yesterday for example SM was opened by our force from your keep-side, and you fail to take it, you only helped to defend it.

We did downgrad some of drakkars structure and nobody cares if you saw it or not and when BT forces where in SM we even tried to put pressure on Drakkar on their EB keep and yet you failed to take it.

Ey sin, will you start to offer duels to prove your point like lasttime when you had no arguments at all and acted like a spoiled brat?

Somehow RoF appeared in SM and messed things up. Feel free to call me for some good fights.

pejot.4806:

It looks like after Friday-Saturday DL domination, the matchup more or less evened out ( at least between DL and RoF), which gives hopes for good fights in the week.

So far only BT destroyed some T3 DL points, lets hop RoF will think more about fighting DL then riding our border.

Snowreap.5174:

Here are the estimated probabilities for the next set of matchups.

-ken

Chance according to files that BT will face Underworld, Fort Ranik was:

7.731690
3.043399

Somehow it happened, lol

and chance for re-match vabbi-fow-bt was 48%, man don’t create any system anymore.

Don’t bother about INC they offend everybody in sign and they have nothing common with BT. They have made their own blob with bench of slaves builds. Thats why they can’t do anything except blobing.

This build has no conditons removal at all, low hp, low def, this is useless hybride build with easy to evade GS attacks, not even close to good bunker build.

1) Thief has same lvl of dps, can vanish anytime and restore to full life. As a melee class warriors should have far better dps not equal.

2,3) Link those builds.

I can’t believe that some ppl from ANet made Diablo 2 barbarian, shame on you guys. For any warrior in any game there are at last 2 ways:
1) insane dps
2) bunker build with high survivability

First option ANet destroys with every patch, second doesn’t exist at all

You can barely gain double chop in pvp so this nerf wiped out axes from dps builds.

I can’t understand how system made this matchup. Far Shiverpeaks has quote on 3 borders. Let’s hope after weekend their huge pug zergs will be less active and we can start normal game.

Cleansing Ir is useless because most pro players put condition on you when you are crippled or stunned, so you just can’t use it when is needed, beside burst skills are made to do heavy dmg and you must use it wisely to beat opponent, spamming it to remove conditions is just stupid, you might have luck to remove condition in right moment but this is not the way.

The biggest problem in pvp with warrior is that he just can’t even do any dmg at all in fight against good player. This need to be fixed, but after 25/6 patch I doubt ANet care about that at all.

Heal skills are for restoring HP, burst skills are for heavy dmg, this is the stupidest idea to make it condition removal. I hope you will read this ANet devs.

Before patch 25/6 warrior was bottom pvp/WvW class, now don’t even waste time for leveling it – this patch wiped out warrior from GW2

darkace.8925:

The worst things about patch 25/6 is the community’s shortsighted overreaction to it.

Work on your warrior almost year, and ANet now is telling you just delete it. Most builds are badly nerfed from bottom level. Now you gain same dps with even lower survivability.

From my point of view:
Berserker’s Power and Heightened Focus was moved to grandmaster section with few % buff…

Axes was wiped out from berserker build due to lower dps then GS, lack of mobility, and easy way to evade after this patch

Somehow Whirling Axe was buffed in spvp, so ANet do see how bad warrior is in pvp, why this buff is not included in WvW I can’t understand.

Oreoginal.1580:

Sin.4130:

It works only when adrenaline is spent, so you must hit target. It is pretty useless according to me.

It’s actually incredibly good. At least for my build anyways. Eviscerate has an 8 second cooldown, which means you can easily get rid of 3 conditions every 8 seconds. That’s on top of our utilities AND food.

Any good player won’t give you a chance to use it properly, and what condition lasts more then 8 sec?, totally crap.

zTales.4392:

BlueprintLFE.2358:

Just SPVP, WvW uses PVE ruleset

But they nerfed Retaliation and Confusion in WvW, and not in PvE. :/

Are you 100% sure? Have you tested it?

Of course it works only in spvp, so if they buffed it in spvp why not in WvW? , I can’t underestand that.

Warrior was nerfed to the ground, axe build is useless now because you will never gain main dmg. Dmg was nerfed by 75%! Those few decent skills in traits cost now 30 points..I thought warrior can’t be broken more, I was wrong badly.

XanoNymOuS.5407:

Sin.4130:

We just defended our keep with 5 ppl you got 7 golems, 30 ppl…

If you talk about the flipping keeps in your bl then I can say we only had 2 golems, which is more than enough time to react. You even had wp to see it was contested!

I was talking about rush at our keep on EB in late night. I personally destroyed 3 golems.

Tzuuu.2781:

Sin.4130:

For BT this matchup is just terrible. 99% of time FOW/Vabbi spend heavy bunkered in towers. I know guys that for you everything above 0 points all the time is so epic but this tier is pure PvE and I do not wish this to anyone.

Not sure if you’re trying to insult us or compliment us. Bunkering in t3 keeps is how we’ve managed to keep our BL blue for 90% of this matchup. And if by “anything above 0 points” you mean ticking +200 most of the day, then yeah, it’s pretty big for a server that’s rated at under 700.

Thanks for letting us wipe your wp’s btw

Have fun, you can capture it only when it is empty anyway. 200+ most of night you mean, BTW you spend fortune for those upgrades (even single camp), to hit those 200 points. We just defended our keep with 5 ppl you got 7 golems, 30 ppl… I can’t even imagine that you are defending anything without 30+ ppl. Let’s hope we will never meet again.

pejot.4806:

Of course. If you have better coverage at given time (aka have more ppl) then other server you are obviously going to tick more points (why do you think NA servers have recruitment posts all over the place, looking for EU/SEA players?). It is especially true in hours outside prime time, when you rarely see organized guild raids (which can defeat bigger numbers, so a server with less numbers, but better guilds can hold against the one with more pugs).

Also, I fail to see how a duel would clear something up, but if that is what you need, feel free to /w me ingame

Small skilled group with commander can earn more points than mindless random zerg for example. Of course duel accepted. I thought you would get it without duel;)

If for you coverage = more points, then I can only say -sayonara

Maybe some duels with me will clear something for you, what you think?
