I am not an Anet fan boy i am just realistic.

That was the furthest thing from realism you could have possibly said.

The ONLY solution to this mess is in TC’s hands, and that’s transferring off of TC. You’re single-handedly making this a problem for hundreds, if not thousands of players by perpetuating this “Tier 1.5” nonsense.

Here’s the truth. There can’t be 4 “super servers”. Even if TC miraculously got the transfers to compete with Tier 1, one server will always be bumped into Tier 2 to ruin the game for hundreds of others.

Who has the immediate power to fix this? TC.

also, bg and sor, and jq.

there will always be servers with better coverage and numbers no matter wut best thing anet can do is make sure they fight eachother and not the servers who have less

its not about WInning its about the best matchups and fights. Name one server outside the top 6 who can match any of us in coverage and numbers. DB drops faces t3 and destroys them same goes for fa and tc or anyone from t1. But if tc fa db face eachother they get great fights same with sor jq bg, if we mixed in one of the t2 servers into t1 sure it wouldnt be an easy week but atleast there will still be great fights all hours

anet has the power also

by making the top 6 servers only face eachother and t3 and t4 the same and so on down the list instead of this stupid t2 vs t4 servers

Indeed. BG’s Euro timeslot is pretty amazing now. I’m sure they are excited for the challenge.

Lol BG’s Euro isn’t even close to what SoR had & now it’ll just be PvDoor for SoR. Grats on getting stacked during EU, can’t say I’m surprised since SoR is all about numbers.

dont use facts against kathy k DUDe u will get an infraction

TBH, BG had pretty large zergs this week during Euro across multiple maps.

tbh 1st or 3rd means nothing at all atleast r 3 servers get great fights all week just enjoy it. Look at t2 and down thos matchups suck kitten and r over before they begin

your right there r some threads but have u read them ??? noone really explains why the random match ups suck or how they r killing lower pop servers cause they r facing t2 servers

AND 50% of the ppl in thos threads r saying how much they r loving thes matchups most of thes ppl r from the winning servers

sor bg jq/ tc db fa thes 6 servers should never face anyone but thos top 6 ANYONE ELSE its just a blow out and kills wvw

IF u want change make you u gotta make enough noise. Start making threads about this system explain why it sucks and wut u think should be done

anet needs to take a real look at this system its really making like 2 good matchups and the rest r crap

morastarna.6294:

JQ-SOR-BG have been against each other, minus one week for going on 3 months probably more. Its getting old and clearly ANET does not give a crap.

who would u like to face?? lets be honest NO other server has a shot against the 3 of us. If you wanna face someone else best thing to do would be xfer off

i feel bad for tc db fa sos mag and every other server in that mix

TC has only 2 maybe 3 servers that would give them a good fight and thats DB FA and JQ, the rest they would destroy OR if they faced sor and bg they would be destoryed there stuck in a bad spot

anet does deserve some of the blame i agree but u also gotta put the blame on the ppl who made post after post telling them to do it

THIS IS WUT HAPPENS when a company listens to a bad idea

it sucks yes blame the ppl who cried on the forums wanting random matchups so they could have different ppl to fight

also blame anet

BUT on the brighter side just make the best of it and fight hard and have fun

is MOS messed up for anyone else and not showing the north american match ups ???

u would crush them

LOL love the trolling esp from joephuket ur post history is amazing LOL

as for thes guys joining sor if they did i wish they woulda went to jq but its not my call its there and i welcome them

Grats on the win this Week BG much earned, to jq Awsome fights always fun fighting u guys

TO the SOR guilds big or small and r militia Awsome work this week lets come back even stronger next week love u all

SykkoB.9465:

i got 2 question tho for jq

1: is agg staying on (insert servername)?

The funniest thing you can post in gw2 wvw forums. This is their 8th or 9th server?

7th. Get your facts straight.

EDIT: The only reason we change servers is when fights become stale / scarce. It doesn’t seem like this will be the case on JQ anytime soon.

so agg is staying on jq? reason i ask is cause i wasnt sure if u guys just made the transfer for the week for fights or not

if u r staying on JQ that awsome and glade ur staying. If ur not staying was fun fighting agaisnt u guys again

Kreen.3925:

SykkoB.9465:

i got 2 question tho for jq

1: is agg staying on jq ?
2: r there RG members stayin on jq also or did they all transfer off or quit ?

just wondering cause it was good fights this week and hope agg stays with u guys

Without being too presumptous to speak for others…

As far as I know from talking to a few Agg folks then they are intending to stay but really you would have to ask them.

A few RG folks who still want to play GW2 are staying on JQ as well I think. Again though you would need to ask them really.

Its been a pleasure having both of them on the server this week. I we all hope they stay for as long as they would like. I hope our opponents have enjoyed it as well

i do to man, i was hoping one of there guildies would reply for confirmation

either way good fights this weeks been a blast

TO the 1-2 sor ppl talking about 2v 1 plzz stop it happens let it go and keep fighting

the mods should lock this thread its nothing but troll bait and 1 dude being a kitten

i got 2 question tho for jq

1: is agg staying on jq ?
2: r there RG members stayin on jq also or did they all transfer off or quit ?

just wondering cause it was good fights this week and hope agg stays with u guys

FAIL POST

2v1 happens to everyone now lets move on

Chris.3290:

So… someone explain what happened this week. Try to do it without excessive QQ or such trite nonsense as 2v1.

Near as I can tell from being a very casual observer is that RG went to JQ, took away some of IRON’s mojo. Then RG’s leader hit R6 in WvW kills and promptly disbanded the guild?

Tell me, are you guys still drinking drama in bottle form, are just mainlining it from an IV now?

what happened is bg pushed hard wanted it more and if they keep it up will get the victory

the rest i have no idea about

dont look at the score or ppt just HAVe fun and kill wut u can with ur guildies or allies on the field and have fun

i agree if it’s not SOR/BG/JQ then its gonna be a lame match up

only way tc will be a good match up would be if they got 1 large oceanic and 1 euro guild

guys u should just report it to anet and move on. Talking about it will jsut get ur thread locked

if u want to make the maps feel bigger remove the JP and the PVE areas in wvw and spread stuff out more that way

Jscull.2514:

You guys realize Camelot unchained isn’t going to be easy mode like this? Mark Jacobs is making the game for hardcore skill players…. Not Zerging morons who press 2-3 buttons. I’m willing to bet 70-80% of gw2 won’t like how challenging actually fighting people will be in that game because it won’t be ez mode like WoW and this starter mmo.

You make it seem as if people can’t adapt to a new playstyle.

he also makes it seem like ppl havent played other mmo or other games besides gw2 and wow

Amity.8549:

I can guarantee that MERC aren’t doing overtime, this is our usual raid times. The only exception might of been on wednesday when I tagged up late NA but other than that it’s just been OC/SEA/EU as always.
We haven’t even done a CTA.

even if u r WHO cares, just keep up the fights it beena great week and a close match. SOR we now have a reason to push hard again lets not cry ovetime or anything lets just step up r game

tc does not need 10-15 guilds to compete in t1 LOL that would be overkill. All they would need is

1x 20-30 man oceanic guild to go with there sea
1 × 20-25 man euro

tc has the na numbers to fight t1 and the sea to also do it

No your SEA is way smaller than ours and we were outmanned most of the time when we fought JQ and BG. Unless TC has had an influx of SEA guilds you wouldn’t stand a chance in that time frame

Also SoR has the smallest SEA in that Tier, so I wouldn’t base it off of that

They are from SoR not TC.

Ah my mistake then but point still stands, you guys will need more SEA guilds

Thing is u dont need MASS numbers if u have around the clock coverage. Strong na with ok oceanic and sea mix with strong EU = SOR

yes i am from SOR and trust me tc Isnt far off from being able to face t1 servers. 2 large guilds in off hour coverage do make a huge diff.

sor has

2x oceanic guilds wich r HIRE that fields 20-30 a night and then OCX that fields 10-15

4x Sea guilds SAHP 10-20 NYS 20-30 AFS 15-20 r 4th i dont rem the name but fields around 10

1x euro IRON 25-35

Now with that info u can see tc if they got that 1 large oceanic and 1 euro guild would be close to SOR and be able to put up 1 hell of a fight

tc does not need 10-15 guilds to compete in t1 LOL that would be overkill. All they would need is

1x 20-30 man oceanic guild to go with there sea
1 × 20-25 man euro

tc has the na numbers to fight t1 and the sea to also do it

wut sever did the guilds that left AR go to ?

hey jq i know RG for the most part is done but r any of there members sticking around or ?

ur only 40k down in ur match that really isnt that bad. Way to many ppl care about winning and not the fights

this is one epic match up this week. Does anyone know if this is the closest t1 match up ever ????

We have been recruiting, we have a recruitment post up and everything. The problem is there aren’t enough players/guilds to go around. The way it stands the top 4 servers are becoming super stacked, and the answer that is given by you is to stack yet a 5th server to balance it all out? I say that isn’t the right solution.

This is an interesting thought. Some of us suspected that with GW2 being an old game now, revenues for Anet from box sales must be headed down. The back to back gemstore promotions / offers/ new items, " new " PvE content paced back to back with no breaks had to be the strategy to generate revenue from existing playerbase.

Server transfers, being a gem service could be an unintended cashcow / superstar for them. Any player can transfer server, you do not need an invite / blessings from the existing server players.

Server costs affect revenue for Anet and it would make sense to concentrate / squeeze more players into less servers. PvE , dungeon content has guesting options so it provides little incentive for transfers. By keeping WvW unbalanced and unfairly biased on whoever has the most forces will win, players will pay to transfer to a stacked servers and gradually the low ranked servers will die off to a number where it becomes justified to close them.

Another thought of server transfer transfer service can be market segmentation to identify who are the best gem-spending customer of the existing playerbase and keep them happy. Say you are willing to spend 1800 gems to transfer to a High Population Server, that means you are worth more than a sturborn Kaineng " never say die " player staying put. It makes sense to reward the player that spends more gems by giving them advantages in WvW by rewarding population = win advantage.

When their number 1 customers : players in Tier 1 servers complain stagnant matchups, they gave them the possibility to feed off / bash up buffet vs weaker servers. Tier 1 servers do not like to play against each other. The guilds in them are not looking for a challenge, or else they would move to low population servers to have a challenging time and be matched against higher population servers and enjoy the unmanned bluff.

i cant speak for jq or bg but as a member of sor i can say we love fighting BOTH of the other t1 servers, It brings out the best in r members. And most ppl who transfer to t1 servers do SO for the fights cause there is action 24/7, so plzz dont make a post acting like u know wut everyone in t1 wants

also more ppl to fight equals more of a challenge and less pvdoor

You may be takling about another night, RE doesnt loose against evenly manned fights, atleast not open feild fights. Not even SoR would fight us without Arrow Carts in the open field. Not trying to sound kitteny, but I havent seen a FA Zerg during primetime with merely 35 people in it. RE wipes, FA has wiped us but I have yet to see a WvW guild that can wipe RE as a guild with even numbers.

RE is a mediocre zerg guild. Nothing special or unique and certainly not in the top 10 that I have fought against. If you were half as good as you think you are you wouldn’t be riding the coat-tails of an already successful server now would you.

Oh another “bandwagon” post?
<removed boring life story>
So were not riding on any coat tails here my freind, we are just glad to not be depended on so much like we have in the past. Glad to have a stable server.

I never said anything at all about bandwagon. A guild that is good, likes challenges, doesn’t transfer to well established servers. A mediocre guild that wants to be carried does.

Not sure if you have always been on FA or not, but being on a server where your guild is the only large WvW focused guild, is not a challenge, it feels so stressful and demanding, much more than what you experience with stable servers.

We felt this two times, both times from T8 to T2. You must have had the priveledge of never feeling that, of never feeling directly responsible for putting in 12-18 hour days for your server. Of never recieving the comment, “Your in RE, arent you supposed to be in WvW?”

We envy you, and people like you who have never been through those situations. Thats why we are here.

Your life is so hard, how do you get up in the morning?

Let me try and sum up the boring history of RE. You were on Darkhaven, carried to T2 by its off-hour population and stalled, so you bandwagoned to KN which once again was carried by an off-hour population to T2 where it once again stalled. You then transferred to TC, a server with arguably the 4th best/even coverage in the game, and now your here talking smack and going on about your hardship?

People/guilds on servers that have lost almost every match since release, they have hardship. Your hardship is like telling hungry people that you ate to much and your stomach hurts. Enjoy the coat-tails.

u sir really shouldnt talk about stuff u know very little about. RE left dh after every other large guild that field 15-25 players a night had left, KN again was bleeding guilds left and right to bg and DB so im sure they were thinking here goes DH all over again and left before it hurt there guild

now get back to playing the game and cutt the drama

Im also from sor incase u think of from RE

dude PPL skating at 30-35mph smashing into eachother battling for every inch of ice playoff hockey is just amazing

ur right they were not the last on KN but they were one of the last large guilds on dh that could field 15-20 everynight

BUT lets look at KN u had WM CO KO KOR RISE MEOW all xfer off , So with that said if i was RE i would be like O dam here goes DH all over again time to move before it gets worse and members of r guild leave the server or quit playing

every guild gets beat in open field from time to time its how u handle and wut u learn from the defeat that shows ur true strength

AND i have been on 2 servers like littlefeather and re has that have collapsed ET and then DH and it sucks and hes right u feel the stress from it

Draygo.9473:

its B. In the beginning organized zergs weren’t too common yet. You would have disorganized masses but disorganized masses don’t do concentrated damage all at once which causes the cpu to stress. I.E “Bomb here”.

srry i dont think it is B, i know when i was on ET back at launch we had huge zergs clashing with HOD and sbi and yet very little lag for me. I noticed like liquid was saying that when the guesting patch hit lag in wvw jumped up the exact week

I do not know for sure the cause or reason for the lag but u cannot blame it on numbers when at launch EVERYONE WAS ONE GIANT BLOB

the thing i dont get with anets lag in wvw is this

WHEN the game first came out everyserver had a que and yet the lag was very minimal, now it seems even without a que and only 30v 30 going on u get lag

u cant balance somthing like wvw because 30% of the playerbase is fairweather and only show for wins and then leave if its hard

tbh the break that wall with pve and pvpers give wvw armor and weps better skins

PVPERS WANNA FEEL EPIC and the pvp skins look like crap

dude hes just soo quick we dont see him moving or calling stuff duuh

Kytana.5079:

Dear BG and SoR,

As much as we love seeing our dysfunctional siblings, we respectfully request not see so many of the in-laws at once. Anything over 60 per side and we just don’t have enough rooms to house them all in Garrison or the supply to feed all those needy zerglings. If we could schedule the family reunion at different times with less people it would help with overall enjoyment of all parties involved not counting the logistics. Thank you.

Love,
JQ

PS: Great fights on JQ BL. Always keeping up the pressure.

LOL good post

the best way to counter a large zerg tho is split ur forces into 2 20-30 mans and hit 2 dif locations making the bigger zerg split or bleed ppt

i love fighting bg and jq its really the only other 2 servers that will put up the fight we all want

o if u sick of the same tactics and meta u could always try some new ones out and maybe u can change the meta of t1

WIGZ.8245:

Would’ve preferred a new matchup, this fight is getting dull as the weeks go by.

why would u even want a dif match up ? no other servers have the pop of sor bg and jq we would roflstomp them and win before the weekend is over

kitten jq be putting in work tonight #respect

i think wut jayne ment was a server based ts mumble or vent
