WvW is neglected relative to the rest of the game, we all know this.
I see the gvg cant you all do anything smaller?
Hands off my octopus would love to play other groups but we only have about 6 ppl online at any given time so couldn’t we do a 5v5??? come on:D
I think its a great idea, you should start one!
All this crap about 2v1, is so stupid.
Anyone that states it automatically undermines whatever they say next. Its 3 servers, 2v1 are inevitable. Some conspiracy theorists will argue its deliberate and maybe it is, but its pointless to raise it here because you will have nothing to prove it and and it looks more like a QQ post.
Also, you don’t like the guild transfers and yet you incite a topic on the same very thing.
I talked about it extensively, a precedence has now been set, I have made my peace.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Stop-Transferring/first
But for serious….good job to everyone. As much as I don’t like guilds jumping around to different servers, this has definitely made Tier 1 more exciting.
I agree, I was a strong opponent of transfers, but, they’ve happened and the community can manage itself and has made for an interesting week.
Congratulations to the Blackgate community on making a server that other WvW guilds wanted to join. You’ve made yourself into a formidable force, I hope the recently transferred guilds maintain their support and look forward to fights in the future.
On a side note, now that the precedence is on guilds transferring out, whats next?
Sanctum of Kaineng?
Tarnished Aspenwood?
One moment pls, popcorn in microwave.
Honey coated? Imma pull up a chair.
Hey guys, just keep it clean ok.
I don’t want the toxicity that we saw when SoS imploded and subsequently exploded, where people were making statements and accusations that could never be validated or proven. Nobody cares what you “saw”, only what you can prove. If you think something is wrong fraps it, upload it to utube and provide people with the link, otherwise you’re comments are at best baseless or at worst outright slander.
See you on the field, play hard.
I agree with the OP, the separation is silly. Some one can double grab else where, why is a JP that different?
Seriously, if people are that hard up to make JP easier they will take chest, log out, then log in again when 24hrs is up. Separating JP from everything else confuses people unnecessarily.
Even now in map chat I see people asking questions about why their chest hasn’t reset, some people forgetting when they last got chest and having to wait till it resets. The current 24hr from last take is fiddly and unnecessary.
Can we have it so that the enemy doesn’t know they should focus on you because they know you have less players?
I wouldn’t be to concerned, at least in the long term. ANet is very good at getting the PvE community what they want. Its become clear that its impossible for some people to get 100% map completion due to WvW, they will adjust it at some stage.
Conclusion:
Air adept 1 and arcana IX don’t work.
Signet of airs tooltip is correct, but misleading.
Thx for that.
I’ve noticed that what a skill describes is not necessarily what a skill actually does in GW2.
Thanks for the post and the time to test.
Running with it equipped it feels slow, like it’s 10%. Having said that I run around on a rather large Norn so it may distort my perception.
I guess I’m just arguing are we sure it’s 25%. I know it’s supposed to be but has someone actually tested for it.
some people will call it a smart move i call it a cheap shot.
If they’re happy to spend money to move their main accts, its only a small stretch to move their alts to lol.
I’m sure we were all frustrated with the skill lag.
I cut it again.
To JQ and SoR in SM last evening/night: It was a ton of fun to have the tri-battle in the lords room.
Not really, lag, delayed skills, culling/rendering etc etc. For what should be an epic battle.
presume that BG will continue to post 300-400 ppt during the weekdays and remain dominant during that time.
You’ll have your answer soon enough.
Basically stealth is the crutch that makes the thief player look better than he/she actually is.
That’s what thief players don’t get.
I have a thief, I use it often, I have so much fun with it in WvW. What makes me kitten a thief is that I have alts that are now full geared and its completely insane what a thief can do.
Most thief players have no perspective.
It seems entirely plausible that entire guilds could’ve been paid for with nothing more than in-game gold.
There’s no way to quantify that, and unlikely that everyone used only ingame gold. However, ANet is the one with the only real answer.
It will be most likely Sanctum of Kaineng.
The community has spoken, the Ex-SoS guilds have set a precedence, ArenaNet makes money for changing NOTHING in WvW.

i am sorry that people are apparently hurt now that guilds chose what they felt was the best for THEIR members.
No ones hurt, at least not me. But you did nail the point of my post exactly by stating that it was a case of each for their own.
if the server doesn’t make members of guilds happy.. the guild has to work towards that end.
Again highlighting things perfectly, why not consider all this prior to GEM transfers?
i can assure you we have not changed, but the server has.
This was never disputed.
it was never about scores, it was about the fight. sos can say what they like
The score doesn’t matter at all? How did the fight change? At what point did SoS become ‘them over there’ and no long ‘we and us’, when they gave up the fight? At what point was that? Do you feel that you are being subjective?
I find your statements fascinating and you managed to highlight many of my points perfectly.
perma stealth I saw a perfectly balanced character
Because your own perspective doesn’t propagate the culling/rendering issues that others would have of your toon -.-
His video demonstrated more skill than most but once again your missing the point of what makes a thief OP.
(edited by SoPP.7034)
I want to face the server you’re fighting.
SoS looks like its heading towards those types of servers!
haha, but I now have the name Ramirez stuck in my head -.-
I’m referring to weapon swap.
Why do you get the cool down when u weapon swap after taking fall damage? In combat it makes sense to have limitations on what you can do so I have no issues with a cool down then, but why fall damage. The only connection is that you lose some health but this is a poor connection.
INB4: Yes I know, w8 till you’re fall dmg wears off before weapon swapping, however my point still stands.
Separate fall damage and being in combat.
Truth be told I hope that BG wins or at least comes extremely close. This match up has been awesome and I don’t think anyone wants the Ex-SoS guilds to implode again.
Culling can make it imba, though.
My whole issue with that statement if its true is weve had 6+MONTHS of an OP skill……………………..
None of the trait heals are particularly strong.
Lies, the regeneration and removal of conditions I specced into on my thief keep me alive and are enough to keep fighting or escape easily.
(edited by SoPP.7034)
Man I was almost with you on that one. I was half with you on Braveheart but then you just lost me on CoD. Anyone enlighten me?
Its obvious something has to be done with stealth. I mean if it was fine, NO ONE WOULD TALK ABOUT IT.
Rationalise it anyway you want, but 14+ pages and counting……. come thieves surely a light bulb moment is triggering…..
The water in EB is fine and adds atmosphere, the water in the Borderlands feels like a huge waste of space, along with the Skill Point locations.
A thief complaining about a stealth skill?! There are no words…
I am every class because I am all class. But you agree. Maybe we could get Anet to buff Veil and portal!
Sounds good to me. Perhaps they could buff up C&D, hide in shadows, blinding powder, shadow trap and shadow refuge while they’re at it!
Don’t forget buffs to traits, like low health and high % dmg that give auto stealth.
The allocation of ‘space’ is not necessarily equal. That is I don’t believe x3 servers get 3 separate allocations of it, but rather elements of it overlap.
To be brutally honest, would that surprise you?
SoS camped the EB JP a lot in tier 1. Your luck might not be that great.
So tomorrow is going to be Jay Queue Queue vs. Sea of Black Gates vs. Sanctum of Lawl?
Dunno bout the rest of you, but I like it.
JayQueue Isle would be more accurate XD
But the acronym JQQ looks better
hmmmmm decisions decisions
So tomorrow is going to be Jay Queue Queue vs. Sea of Black Gates vs. Sanctum of Lawl?
Dunno bout the rest of you, but I like it.
Or something to drop on the PvE’ers when they do their weekly QQ in the WvW thread about getting killed in the EB JP.
‘Gank or get ganked’
I’m horrible at coming up with something catchy, I know you guys can do better.
As much as this server stacking thing just doesn’t feel right to me…won’t SoR and Kain basically HAVE TO merge now in order for T1 to have 3 fairly balanced servers?
And IF they do, does that mean T1 is pretty much locked down forever with those 3?
Seems there should be a better way/method
There is but that moment was lost when the Ex-SoS players jumped ship. Now the colloquial attitude is pay gems and transfer to stimulate the WvW environment.
Quick, to the JP!
If they play against fewer people it stands to reason their efforts shouldn’t count as much.
This is a valid point but tbh you should make your own thread and make these kind of points clearer.
Posting in this thread were it’s obvious people have little knowledge of what’s outside of their own country (city?) makes valid points get caught up in…. hmmmm how should say….. less insightful comments…..
If you live cross the ocean you should play on Euro servers.
Why wasn’t this genius behind us when we asked for an oceanic server and ANet said no (well technically they said ’we’ll look into it’).
Is this patch addressing culling AND rendering issues? Which are uniquely different.
(edited by SoPP.7034)
March update better be pretty impressive
Guys I’m telling you now, don’t expect much. Please quote me later and I’ll happily eat my words if I’m wrong. But I’m telling you, don’t expect much.
The real questions will arise at the end of next week.
What happens in JQ is 2nd?
What happens if BG is 2nd?
Make no mistake, next week will be interesting.
If you do eventually get your commander tag, you’ll realise that it’s one thing to talk about flank or feint attacks, and quite another to get them done. They can be done, but they require very good communication and explanation from the commander, and a disciplined and intelligent group of players following him.
^ This, PUGs refuse to listen at times, even when the commander has a good strategy.
I don’t disagree with you, but ANet refuses to talk about it. They talk about nerfing AoE, they stated they are currently watching d/d bunker ele’s but I’ve never heard them talking about stealth.
All these issues center around WvW.
It has become obvious to the WvW community that WvW is far behind PvE and sPvP for support.
I believe they will fix culling, eventually, but it will take a long time. They will continue to let things go as is in the meantime. They have no back up plan.
1. OP thinks that paid server transfers will ruin WvW. The logic is pretty much fail in that category.
2. Albeit in a very polite way, he/she is raging about apparently still being on the SoS Titanic as it continues it’s slow slide into the icy waters of the WvW community.
Your post is quite misinforming.
1) I never said ruin. I stated there was a precedence, and a bad one at that.
2) No I’m not on SoS and it’s a shame you don’t have more respect for your former allies.
I stopped reading at that point…
It’s a shame you stopped reading at that point, especially when I had said right after it ‘Let me explain’. Had you kept reading you would know I don’t blame ArenaNet, if anything, I blame us, the WvW community.
Most of us can’t wait to get a server that will fight. We are very happy to be receiving BG again.
With all due respect to SoR they have been placed between a rock and a hard place this week. With the SoS collapse and the huge migration to BG, SoR has been left to fight JQ alone.
I had thought for some time about making this post, for a couple of days in fact, knowing that some wouldn’t agree, but decided it is something we need to broach.
I’m talking in particular about the collapse of SoS and the subsequent transfer of people off of it. Before I continue let me be clear, SoS is a great server that I respect, it held the number 1 spot for many weeks, and many great people were responsible for this. No one can ever take that away.
In any event, as a WvW community we’ve come to a cross road now. That is, just prior to Free transfers closing, JQ stacked itself and made itself a formidable force. Initially JQ struggled, particularly over the weekends but it soon became apparent JQ couldn’t be stopped. JQ has recruited better than others and has now, much like SoS previously, placed itself in a position to win repeatedly.
As this became obvious a number of people left SoS. Why? Only they can tell you, but the reverberations are still being felt. It set a precedence and in turn other people may have thought for some time about it, ultimately some did in fact decide to leave. The symbolism of this was subsequently felt throughout the SoS community and in turn others left, a snowball effect. As I type this I’m aware of similar things happening within the EU WvW community.
Why is it an issue? Because free transfers have FINISHED.
People now have to use gems to transfer, some may have the gold to get the gems others may have to farm more, a percentage will have to use real money to purchase gems.
Why is this relevant? Because GW2 is designed to make money and by people using gems to transfer they have in turn undermined the WvW community by reinforcing that. Let me explain.
JQ was going to win, everyone could see that. With free transfers ended, it would be expected that JQ would win for a long time.
At that time, the pressure was on ArenaNet. If JQ was simply going to win forever and ArenaNet let it continue that way, with nothing but ppt to focus on then it would upset the community greatly. Now I guess what’s sad is that it would have taken time, weeks if not months for ArenaNet to do something. It’s no secret that the WvW community is placed far behind PvE and sPvP, there would be in no hurry to make changes.
However, that pressure and any immediacy with it is now significantly less, for 2 reasons.
1) The WvW community can ‘manage’ itself. If people are unhappy that JQ is winning or in the future BG, it’s ok. The community will start to transfer to a different server, that’s high population and within the same tier or one tier removed.
2) The business that makes the game makes MONEY. Anyone within that infrastructure that cared about JQ dominance, that wanted to address these issues and the future of WvW has had their influence undermined by the money that’s being made by transfers. The corporates will be standing back saying ‘OMG don’t change it, were making money, just leave it and see what happens. Why didn’t you stop free transfers sooner!!??’. Actually the worst case scenario is that they try and reinforce the transfer trend.
So that’s where we are at, nothing needs to change because we can use 1800 gems (very high server) which is just under 35g (adjusted) to solve our own problems.
At this point there’s nothing more to be said. If you didn’t think about the server you were on prior to free transfers closing, perhaps you should have, are things really THAT bad there, I don’t believe so. The server where you currently are is OK.
So we are now in the position of ‘do we use gems to transfer?’. If you care about WvW, don’t transfer. Think about server pride, about what fun means to you and how to win, without winning all the time should your server get less ppt than others and what that all means to ArenaNet.
If you have recently transferred, then be happy where you are. Place pressure on those that make the changes if you are unhappy sometime in the future. But don’t transfer, in the long run, the WvW community does not benefit, those that don’t care about WvW do.
