Guild Wars 2

It always looks like static field stuns more than 5 people but maybe its just an optical illusion.

This is the first time that I am hearing about guilds leaving SoR for BG.

Good post though.

I thought the thief QQ would be gone after culling was destroyed. I was wrong.

We’ve taken BG keep everyday on EB, nothing special about it anymore.
Another thing, SoR needs to goto Tier 2, this JQ SoR alliance and JQ always winning isn’t really fun anymore, I like to actually feel like I’m making a difference and not, oops JQ wins again because we tag team BG.

Im getting too used to 2v1 posts… i just dont get the same lulz anymore from them. Can someone please come up with something that will give me more lulz.

That post is from an SoR player so…lol.

Hes actually from JQ, but seems like hes trying to sound like hes from SoR. You can obtain this information by looking at his post history and the screen shot he posted a day ago.

Major props to SoR for this huge push. I would enjoy it if we do not gloat about it like blackgate use to do when they destroyed us week in and week out in tier two. SoR endured 12 straight weeks of blowouts, but did we falter? Did we give up? No it only made us stronger. We at SoR knew this day was coming because our server’s community is one of the most stable communities in WvW. We do not simple just transfer servers when the going gets tough like most servers. We fight for each other and that is why I love SoR. We will soon be number one simple because our guilds are like a big family and other guilds see this and want to be a part of our big happy family. Our time has come SoR!!!! For Rall’s Honor!!!!

Can SoR come back from a 35k deficit folks?!?!?!

We have cut it in half already, and it may be possible!!

Lets go Rallians this is your time!!!! For SoR!!!!!!

sor is becoming stronger week after week. gratz for them to recruit so many new guild

careful bg, careful

A stronger SoR will benefit everyone in T1.

SoR is at least as strong as BG. This was proven by them coming in second last week. According to SoR posters, not a single one of them put in any overtime last week so that was their normal coverage.

Give us till next week and we should be at full force. Tsym is moving over tomorrow while AFS said they were moving over on the 8th.

Next week’s match up should be friggin awesome!!!

They want new people coming into WvW without feeling like they are behind everyone else. Good idea to get new people into WvW, but punishes the long term WvW players. In my opinion I don’t mind it since new people are playing.

Awesome idea…..

Catisa.6507:

another t1 player complaining about skill lag … keep stacking more people into your server, I am sure it will get better /sarcasm.

So A-Net developed a game where 200 ppl can fight at the same time but now we can’t do that and have to move to the lower tiers? Makes sense.

Devs have not answered one question about skill lag yet so good luck.

score update………

Holy crap. JQBL Bay is insane right now….

was a good old Mexican standoff for awhile until we tried pushing JQ out and almost got sandwhiched by both JQ and BG and finally BG pushed us and JQ pushed lords room and it turned into a 3-way epic battle against skill lag

Major props to BG holding both of us off at the moment

lol is that the new dungeon content or whatever?

Man I have no idea about anything going on other than wvw

long version

tl:dr
Super Adventure Box is Arenanet’s April Fool’s holiday dungeon that just came out. It pays homage to oldschool video games.

oh wow that actually looks pretty friggin awesome!

Maybe ill try it out

Now that the holiday weekend is over

lol looks like your playing minecraft…

This is proof that I am not a hardcore enough of a WvWer. What is the gag “PVE” content I’m doing when I should be defending the honor and pride of my server! >.>

Kingzook.1620:

if this is how toxic tier 1 is, i hope i never have to go Tier 1, heck ill probably transfer to TC before going Tier 1 ( and FA hates TC). you guys need to relax and have fun.

You are basing how toxic a tier is by probably .05% of the tiers population that actually responds on these forums. Something doesn’t seem right here….

Azure.8412:

Hello guys. we sincerely appreciate all your responses. We have decided to move to SoR on the 8th of April.

happy to have you guys on SoR

hope this isn’t an april fools joke or anything!!

Please fix skill lag. That is all.

Static field is much better than teleport earthquake…I have literally cut a whole zerg in half with just one static field from one ele.

3 people do not make a zerg.

it was about 40

isn’t this what spvp is for?

I guess that is the result of playing the best “tag class” (thief)

Actually the thief is one of the poorer tag classes with limited AoE.

I mained a thief and let me tell you, it’s the easyest class to tag with because of shortbow auto-attack. Cluster bomb spam is also handy. Dagger Storm says hi as well!

Maybe staff guardian is even easyer tho.

Thief is by far the easiest class to tag with. Dagger storm alone tags like 20 people lol let alone short bow auto attack with cluster bomb.

Israel.7056:

So have Tsym and AFS moved to SoR?

Tsym is moving over to SoR this week and I believe AFS is still undecided.

Around lvl 5-7 on a number of alts (yeah I ain’t gonna stop playing them all just because Anet wants me to)
It’s a broken system anyway. Just got to rename karma farm to Wxp farm and we are good to go.

Anet missed an incredible opportunity to reward the guys who defend those camps, buff those yaks, build oil, and all those little things that make those wooden structured turn into actual fortifications.

A million times this…. THIS!

Building up a broken cannon/oil should = WxP. Repairing a gate is currently the only outright “defensive” thing that currently rewards WxP if a tower/keep/castle is defended.

Then you would have people repairing garrison walls against trebs for hours long wasting all our supple when we don’t want you to repair just so you get some wxp? No thank you, way too many ways for this to be abused.

Congrats SoR on your first win against blackgate!!!

I have to say we are one of the most resilient and stable servers in world vs world and it makes me proud

Matt Witter.6982:

Vi Au.8341:

r30 is soldier
req 5k per rank

You are the first to get to 30.

In the world.

Gratz!! Now whose going to be the first to get to 100!!

Nak.8315:

Let me guess T1?

I’ve seen larger battles in my tier, and haven’t seen this lag.

And lets be realistic here, if this was Turbine with Asheron’s Call lag wouldn’t be the issue, it would that the servers are still being hotfixed, and rolled back, and decal isn’t updated so no one could play.

Yeah tier one but i mean we should be able to have huge battles regardless of tiers.

lol you must not have played asheron’s call lately. They been having some pretty crappy lag spikes since some of their questionable updates (cough cough player olthoi update). I mean I just remember back in 1999 playing Asherons Call fighting groups of people and lagging like I am now. Ok I am exaggerating a bit but it deffenitaly feels like I am back in 1999

Straegen.2938:

SmokeyNYY.7841:

Handle more than 100 people fighting at the same time?

What game has this with a complex skill system? I am sure there is one but I don’t think I have really ever played it. Also I have been in plenty of 100 or so player fights and it still works well. It does get crossed up with huge SM fights between 100+ players on each side but again not sure how many other games deliver on this level.

Ok I may be exaggerating a little with 100 people, but those 3-way SM fights with like 150-200 plus people are just not fun at all.

pulsecodesgnl.3470:

…. and /endthread we have a winner. Though I was more looking for strategy, whether its group composition, siege placement, event handling, etc or a little of everything combined.

Maybe there isn’t much else different in higher tiers, it was worth an inquiry though.

Well its a little more complicated then just creating your own zergball

Like the poster above me mentioned it is imperative that everyone in the zergball is communicating through a VOIP program. Also it is imperative that you have some sort of class composition and not just a bunch of rangers running around. 4-5 necro’s 7-8 ele’s, 5-6 gaurdians, 4 or so warriors, and 4-5 mesmers seems to work great. Now the strategy involved in beating a zergball is catching them off guard or using terrain to win. If its just head on zergball vs zergball it is imperative you have some sort of “death wall” call out over VOIP which means half the people CC the front of the zerg while the other half CC the back. You want to alternate static fields for ele’s which is their best CC other than frozen earth and plague form with Necro’s . For example plague one go now….plague two go now…static field 1 and 2 hit the back of the zerg static field 3 and 4 hit the front of the zerg etc. You also may want to make a melee front line and a range back line who both have two different commanders. Example…melee front line attack zerg from front while range back line cuts left and ranges them from the side. No one hardly uses portal anymore except in rare situations. Vale can be used going around corners and stuff but it is very hard to use in the open field now since culling has been fixed. Literally the most important thing in zerg vs zerg fights is getting your CC off before the other zerg gets their CC off and this is acheived through surprise by scouting the other zerg. IF you get your CC off first you basically win 100% of the time.

Handle more than 100 people fighting at the same time?

I mean come on I know this isn’t a monthly subscription game but you are going to lose your playerbase If you do not upgrade your servers soon. As it stands now the servers we play on can’t even handle one large scale battle.

Can an A-net developer tell me the reasoning behind even playing world vs world in the first place if we cant even have massive battles?

You guys made millions upon millions with this game and can’t even provide us with servers that can handle 100-150 people fighting at the same time. Something is just not right here.

Once again please upgrade your servers. I swear the money you lose by upgrading them you will make back in time once people stop quitting the game because of it.

I feel like I am back in 1999 playing Everquest and Asheron’s call with the type of lag I get and considering our technological advancements since that I would assume that is pretty bad.

Markadis.9012:

… because there are 4 separate maps instead of 1 giant map.

omg can you imagine the lag with only one map

sometimes it feels like i am back in 1999 playing Everquest and Asheron’s call with all this lag

Strategy #1

Create your own zergball to counter the other person’s zergball. That is the whole strategy involved lol.

Oh no!! It looks like BG is imploding already!!!!

Anyone else find it amusing that the two guilds that started the whole transfer nonsense from SoS to BG are the first two to leave?

The highest in our clan is 22. I am wondering if anyone is higher than 30?

Blackgate won last week. I don’t think they have anything left to prove.

Considering they won during a week where JQ got sabotaged hard I think they have a lot to prove.

Anyway awesome week of fighting guys

I am just happy that SoR has a chance of breaking BG’s undefeated streak against them

Keep up the awesome fights everyone!!

Blackgate got sabotaged harder but we didn’t say anything in the forums about it. Yeah nice job to SoR for beating Blackgates 13-0 streak against them, let’s see if they can do it 12 more times!

I wasn’t trying to gloat or anything so no need to get defensive. Blackgate and SoR have a long history and this would be the end of an era. I don’t think we will do it 12 times in a row but nonetheless it feels good making it at least once

Blackgate is one tough opponent to beat and I hope it remains that way

Azelroth.6801:

I’m guestimating it’s around 50-70 per server.

No way. At least 100 since i saw an 80 man zerg running around in SoR last night and thats not counting the people that are afk, doing jump puzzles, scouting, and doing spec ops stuff as well so it would least be 100 per map I would assume.

KeeZee.7312:

JQ aka “The Swarm”

JQ is now known as “The Borg”

They will assimilate you if you don’t watch out!!!

If I may ask what is the reasoning behind keeping map limits secret?

I remember months ago you guys were very open about map limits and told us it was 160 or so people per map. Has something changed recently?

This thread is awesome. I love you op

I got 2k wxp from just one battle that we wiped a 70 man zerg.

I agree. So annoying.

Good change for all the carebears out their afraid to WvW.

I like it as well. I love how you can look at how many points you have in each map.

Holy crap!!! So thats what wvw is actually suppose to look like!!!

Amazing!!! Thank you A-Net!!!

For the next week, all the medium population servers will be free to transfer to. Might be worth giving one of them a look!

Are any of the medium size servers above or at T3?

I just looked at world selection and the only 3 servers that have medium population at the moment are Eredon Terrace, henge of denravi, ferg crossing

SoR would be your best choice. We have NYS/SYN going out every night to help us and could use another big SEA guild to help us out against the hordes of JQ asians.
