I don’t think A-Net would do this… According to pcgamer, there were over 3million copies of GW2 sold. Sadly, I doubt a measly 500 viewers would motivate A-Net enough to create a legitimate GvG system.

I dunno, they keep going on about eSports for a sPvP scene that has like, four people who watch it.

Why charrs are ignored?

CoF light armor makes the Charr’s tail all lava.

But yeah I wish Charr had more armor options that didn’t ignore the tail.

the steampunk armor .. Airship … reminds me the Dreamcast game Skies Of Arcadia … a RPG game with Air ship Pirates

This was the best game. If only we could get airships. If only.

Anyone "getting a lot more Ecto"?

It’d probably be better as a 5 man free for all.

Now you’re onto something.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ADD THIS.

No really, add it.

Unlike sPvP or Crab Toss, people Akitteng this event is actually getting in the way of fun competition.

I echo the above sentiments.

When people are actually playing, this game is a blast. Last night it was a ton of fun. So much better than Crab Toss.

But today every match I’ve played has between 1-3 people on my team AFK, that’s assuming I even have a five person team to begin with. Half of the games have begun 5-3 with me being the only person not akitten. The other half have five on my team with the other team akitten. This isn’t fun.

ArenaNet, maybe stop making PvP minigames until you can figure out how to make a matchup system? Or maybe stop making it so you can get achievements by akitteng matchups?

I love the Moa races! Give us more races!

I still don’t understand how SoR became ‘stacked’ all of a sudden. SoR adds one medium size guild over the course of a couple of months and goes from losing by 50k every week to winning by 50k. Reality is, it had nothing to do with being stacked…. 90% of the active WvW population has been there since last fall.

With the current transfer system, there will always be a sizable amount of fair weather zerglings who rush to the #1 server. JQ used to be their welfare server, now it’s SoR. SoR is a good fit for them because SoR has always had a lot of large guilds that work as groups in WvW, so you may be stuck with ’em for awhile. Sorry. (not really sorry, they cost so much to feed…).

So while you may not be seeing many guilds, there are a lot of individuals moving to SoR due to their odd need to be on the #1 server even if they are doing nothing to make it that way, and the SoR zergs have been noticeably squishier ever since the server started winning. SoR deserves better but hey, I’m just happy they’re leaving JQ.

The PPT thing is all about coverage. If anything JQ is doing better during NA prime now than back when we were winning every matchup. We just don’t have the SEA coverage we used to and EU coverage never really existed. Basically when NA goes to sleep BG/SoR take all our stuff and then when BG goes to sleep SoR takes all their stuff, we all wake up for prime time and clobber each other a bunch, rinse and repeat. Every cycle less stuff changes hands due to the defender’s advantage. Eventually the server with the best coverage wins, the second best coverage comes in second, and the worst comes in third. All that’s changed is which server has the best coverage, and nothing else will change as long as this game keeps score 24/7. Now if they’d shut down objectives during off time hours things might be different but that seems like a pipe dream at this point.

I’m having much more fun with a trimmed down NA force that kicks [something other than kittens, we don’t kick kittens geez] than I ever did with a bloated zerg server that I couldn’t get into WvW half the time and got slapped around until our SEA zerg took everything. I’m missing SoR a lot this week because we’re always out-manned on the SoR borderlands. I like those bonuses, they’re much harder to find against BG.

JQ may look weak numberswise, but the server is improving from an insiders perspective. I think a lot of the players on JQ that liked fighting but couldn’t stand the constant zerging are slowly waking up and taking the field again. While the people who look at the score and whine about numbers may be unhappy, the people who are actually out there fighting are probably happier than we’ve been in a very long time. I’m optimistic this is the start of the renaissance our sever has been waiting for, I don’t care at all if we fall tiers because of lack of coverage or are always third place in t1, I’d rather have a server that I like fighting with during prime time than a server that is highly ranked because of something people in an entirely different time zone accomplish and attracts zerglings like flies. Ironically I suspect most of the people who fought to make SoR #1 feel the same way and will view the coming weeks as the dark ages of the server, despite everyone telling them how wonderful they are. Hopefully they don’t last as long as JQ’s did.
