1.) Buy a tag
2.) Tag up

If you already own a tag go straight for step #2

This, tag up and from nowhere little mouses will dress you like a princess and give you a big army of brutal assassins, but remember to get back to spawn before midnight.

Just gotta say that made me lol, thx!

Also, why tag up, form alliances, or step up and lead? Its someone elses responsibilty isnt it? Why arent there ppl getting wvw rdy for me so I can have a pleasent visit?

Its all player driven, maybe SF have too many ppl o breaks?

There are very few ways to counter omegas with current siege. the way their skill 1 arcs high before hitting the target allows them to clear all the ACs from the wall that would otherwise counter rams and catas.

I would like to see some better counter play options too.

why?

did the commander lead you off a cliff?

4 lb rangers and a venom share thief…

Anyone know why we have so many Brazilians on our server?

I would think if they did play with you, they would connect with lan line directly to the server. they would experience none of your issues and instead blame it on your setup.

just sayin…

Survival in this game does not come from stats, they are just a buffer, a small margin to absorb aoe. If you are so bad that you stand there and take full hit rotations, youre gonna die quick no matter what youre wearing.

So now youre a full zerker who doesnt dodge and no offensive game plan? what did you expect would happen? PvPrs sieze on weakness and hit it hard.
…..
Once you get a rep as ez kill they will keep looking for you.

I like these ideas and Ive wanted siege towers for a long time. As for the nay sayers, I assume the mobile tower would have an hp bar and thus be destructable. Their height would make them vulnerable to ballistas higher up. Could we build siege on the tower too?

What if these mobile towers had to be built at only one place? What if they required elder wood, thick leather and mithril instead of supply?

Its not even that our server is outmanned during the off hours, they just arent willing to cooperate and fight as a whole. As Ive said before, we need to look at ourselves to improve rather than blame the enemy.

It doesnt rly matter with the way t7/8 rolled this week. SoR was matched a tier higher and so losing to higher ranked servers doesnt much affect our place. It would be an opportunity to advance but we didnt take it so rank is static.
If we werent losing to Ka night capping we’d just be losing to someone elses blobs. Look at the bigger picture.

Why do you hate pvp so much?

Most if my 9 characters have 16% map done which is all the wvw maps and a walk to that place with all the zombie mobs to buy a green aqua breather

I tried to do map completion on my mes but i got lost in cave, it was rly deep. I think shes still there, the goblins are coming, I can hear them, the wizard needs to save me…
Or maybe that was just a movie I saw once.

Tao.5096:

Challenge accepted.

;)

Lol, you even qued the OS

What if i want everything?

After reading this post it occurs to me... ppl just have some rly weird expectations when it comes to wvw. Its almost as if they dont want an open pvp mode when they say they do. Why does everything have to be tightly controlled?

I see continuity with the other bring back OS thread. Ppl dont like being attacked when theyre not rdy. They cant handle... be rdy all the time! The more they start controlling wvw the less community we have.

I think there is a point being missed here, the OS was one of the harshest pvp settings in the game. The fight doesnt begin when you /bow but the second you load into the zone. There is nothing special in the zone it self, it was the players who saw the challenge before them and accepted.

Youre focused on the zone but its the old rivals that made for great fights. You should be trying to find those who fight for the same reasons as you, the zone was just an accessory.

it will be from now on, thx for the idea!

when we go ZvZ I tell my group to target rangers first. Then enemy pug is usually about 40% rangers with half of them being uplvls. Its a clear and ez way to divide and conquer a blob.

Ranger dmg is out of proportion to their skill/survivability so remove that threat first.

I had much fun in the OS and then s1 happened. 9 weeks or rotating matchups broke all the rivalries we had going every night.

Maugrim your goal is noble. I suggest those of us who want the old OS back pick a day, Thursday perhaps, and just gank all enemies who dare set foot inside.

SoR was in t1 with BG/JQ for 52 weeks counting the 7 weeks of s2 where the rankings were locked.

http://mos.millenium.org/na/matchups/histories

according to this, and I may be reading it wrong, but t1 has been tc/bg/jq for 46 weeks with no interruptions.

ppl are starting to get suspicious ~_^

the original question was… why is T1 locked?

answer: so everyone can relax and not worry about server instability. ok but its still locked.

xtd, seems like your saying… the servers in t1 dont have to worry about losing, actually thats exactly what you said “dont have to worry about losing ranking”. this sounds like the match ups are fixed. you post intelligent reasons but I think you revealed too much.

there have been rumors about guilds switching to the server that is dropping score so they dont lose their rank and thus maintain their position in the top 3.

really if the top three just hold their territory, let the ppt tick up roughly equal theres no way they can be bumped out. there is no server above to drop down and disrupt the balance, so 2/3 of the t2 servers would have to sacrifice their ppt completely for several weeks to give the chosen server a chance on rolling up.

I remember another thread with similar topic and there was said by a poster they didnt want a certain t2 server to move up. there was talk about respecting their friends on the dropping server and helping them. any of the reasons are understandable but it still shows the hierarchy is firmly in control of t1 and not willing to let go.

SoR is taking 2nd most likely, which increases our chances of rolling blue next week. We did have a huge brawl this weekend and took Valley keep a few times, it just happens, we cant schedule it.

GSCH rarely steps foot in EBG, you should add me to your friends list and look for me in EBG this friday. Be prepared to fight and maybe spend a few hours with us, also download teamspeak. it will greatly enhance your wvw experience and you might even discover why we luv it so much.

There are so many intelligent replies here, theres not much i can think to add but mega server did ruin the game.

Maybe not ruin but deffinatly made the game worse. It shattered our communities and is likely the main cause of declining population aside from the game just being old. Who plays mmo’s and thats likes to constantly be thrown in with strangers?

Those of us who work on community building were kittened so hard by mega servers. I think many who didnt just quit went deeper into wvw as a way to mitigate the dmg. Having bodies in the map is not enough, they need to be people too.

The ppl who make this game worth playing would not stick around in a mega server enviroment and that would be the end of it.

Obviously they shouldnt be allowed to claim with out buffs, then we dont need the silly member counting rule to claim freshly captued camps. Like the others said, prolly not gonna happen anytime soon

Will ppl remember what they have learned or will they go back to the lazy scouting and sloppy tactics?

Cause it was getting harder to sneak objectives like first week. Id say to my group… if you see a scout call it out. Oh kittens we’re spotted!

Its too much work, bring back white swords so I can get a break plz!

Edit: to clarify, it was actually getting harder to sneak an objective because every incursion was viewed as a threat, as it should be. One of my more memorable smc sneaks went like this…
Set up treb in QL, hit wall of smc. Swords pop, crowd gathers on SE wall, when the enemy went for QL I set up guild catas on west wall. Walk into t3 smc lord room with 6 ppl and cap.

This sort of misdirection simply stopped working because the enemy became smart enough to just look around. This strat working was the result of lazy players depending on white swords to tell them where to go.

A simpler solution would be… get off the up lvls so you can actually fight.

assuming that all 3 servers in the matchup are able to make kills, either at different times or different groups, then the scores would all increase roughly the same. seems like ppk is a non-factor.

For thd sake of OPs sanity, know that SF was getting focused this weekend. It might let up now during mid week.

here in t8 we do have alot of new players and pve’rs who are trying wvw for the first time. There not much of a cushion to fall back on, when we get into a 5v5 and just 1 person kittens up, its prolly gonna be a wipe. if your lacking in skill its rly obvious.

but we accept all kinds down here in the ghettos of wvw
Im proud of the players who started with me at wvw rank 1 and are now tagging up as commanders. you dont need a guild or much anything to become someone recognized, just the courage to step up.

Stack and push is the only way to play because it always wins!

The server with the lowest population gets double teamed because they have the lowest population. The other 2 servers are avoiding the hard fights and squabble over scraps. It doesnt matter how big of an advantage you give anywhere, the low pop servers areas will still have the most fighting.

The key to having fun in bronze is variety. Everything you can think of happens but not when your expecting it of course!

All the haters saying bronze is dead, your servers should be merged simply cannot comprehend the diversity of play. We can go from 1v1 to 30v30 very quickly, but sometimes its 1v30 too.

Our tactics and strat need to be flexible to deal with a constantly changing battlefield.

For a few days we used sailing ship directions because no one could agree on terms less confusing.

Port keep, starboard keep. Port bow tower, starboard stern camp, etc…

I have a job that gives me months off at a time and my favorite thing is getting drunk, staying up late and playing games. I was responsible for alot of ppt for my server, prolly more than they deserved.

if the populations are fairly even, night capping certainly turns the match into a blow out. conversely if your server is ranking up because of night capping youll just disappoint yourself when going up against higher tiers and be crushed in turn.

My previous strategies were about how to disguise the white swords. if i wanted to cap a rear tower in EBG I run by and hit the door until swords pop. Defenders show up and we move out with little to no fight.
Do this a few more times with the usual half hearted attempts and no one shows up to defend at all. Does this sound familiar to anyone else? Is this actually better?

The forums are player driven content.

Maybe they think a couple defenders throwing disablers and ACing the ram down is more fun?

Well 2am… Ka likes to night cap hard. During our prime time its evenly matched and we still have lots of fun. If Ka wants to move up they will have to keep night capping even harder. I wish them well and good luck, i miss you!

My server has been fighting the same server for the last 4 weeks, before and during sneak attack. During white swords it was purely numbers that gained our enemies any ground. They were lazy and easily tricked. When sneak attack started it was actually embarrising how dull and poorly conceived were their tactics.

Now on the 4th week we face an enemy who learned and adapted very well. We have a escalating grudge match everyone seems to be enjoying and I have come to respect our new favorite adversary.

WvW is player driven and even small changes have huge impacts. I believe thats why anet has taken a hands off approach and why we are unlikely to see many changes in the coming year.

Ill take a guess… some kind of pvp map/mode, smaller scale than eotm but larger than spvp

I agree with op and would promote better organization between guilds.

Crate should just drop 5 net turrets that stack bleeds every tic.

Significant condi dmg? Yes.

I feel you may not be grasping the role of kits. They are like 2nd weapon sets to other classes and meant to be swapped into often. Another class like warrior will hit all the buttons untill skills are on CD then swap weapons for fresh skills.

If youre not rotating between weapon skills and kits youre like those rangers who go knock back, rapid fire and then just auto attack until off cool down.

There are some builds that dont use kits but thats another topic.

its funny how many ka ppl come here and say they dont upgrade, yet every morning they have all keeps and garri’s in all maps fortified and wp’d. and then they say ka doesnt defend, yet they sit 30ppl in smc all day.

plz dont take cheap shots at guilds in this thread, this is not the place for it. If you want to QQ about someone, go here http://www.gw2wvw.net/

I wasnt aware there were any guilds named [Ka] and if there is i was not refering to them. My statement is not a cheap shot, im saying it appears i know your server, kaineng, better than you.

If youre looking for a server to call home, why would you choose sor?

Like the 80’s sit com Cheers, its a place where everyone knows your name. If you want to be more than just some faceless minion clicking respawn with no one noticing, if you want to be recognized for skill and hard work, sor can be your home. I can say this with a lot of certainty because I will notice

I have been playing war game mmo’s for many years, I got my start in Alterac Valley and then moved to Warhammer before GW2. The attitude towards players who want play in a cooperative way has improved tremendously.

I cant speak for other servers but sor has been the best place for players like me. If your an old jaded veteran fighter is a breath of fresh air, if youre new to mmo’s you will likely be making life long friends.

eating to live and living to eat… happiness is somewhere in between.

its not enough to tell ppl your way is better, you have to show them. there are a few ppl who welcome the burden and take pride in giving the server maps where they can come out and kitten around until their hearts content.

wvw isnt just ppt and stomping enemies, there is relationship building as well and some ppl just dont want to be reached. they reject every offering of friendship and there will be nothing you can do but try to understand and accept their rejections.

the road to enlightenment has many steps…

I think gadgets are good in their own right. The issue is with needing utilities to pull the weight of a second weapon set. What is needed to make gadgets viable is a second weapon set or kits strong enough to need only one.

We can be fairly certain neither will happen, so the issue is back to making gadgets on par with a weapon set. The low amount of usable time and limited effects are what holds gadgets back as many of the suggestions have shown.

I would like the distance of rocket kick to be increased.
