Just tap ctrl and read. I mean I know it isnt a perfect method, but it is what I do when looking at seige while running up to defend a keep because if superiors are open, I want my badges.

PAPAJ from VI on SOS…now I know your name you turkey. I’ve been calling you the big fat norn elementalist commander.

Stop spending so much time chasing SG thief groups around your BL’s with your bunker ele shenanigans! We just want to fondle some dolyaks and hold hands =( We won’t ninja anything…

/salute from SG to all today, good fights.

LOL, but Papa is so good at it. Atac is a solid guild, and I am proud to call them my alliance mates. Part of Aoi’s strengths are the little “attention to detail” things like this that make Aoi strong. Thank you Atac.

To the EU servers,
Please consider a move to SoS. If you are interested in learning more about the people, guilds and community of Sea of Sorrows, please contact us on our forums or visit: http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/78596-sea-of-sorrows-an-organized-community-for-wvw/

Personally I think free transfers hurt at launch more than helped Wv3. This will simmer down things and add stabilty to our community. This is a fact.

LOL @ the SIX freaking commanders to take a keep that was “given” to you.

Amazing you think it is funny how other servers choose to use the commander icon. I know for my alliance, we have commanders in a voicechat communicating, while our guilds are in another. But occasionally, we do this thing called teamwork, and send forces with other commanders from other guilds to attend to certain tasks during a fight. So if 15 commanders are converging on a point to take, i would say winwin. Thanks for the point ticks. Please forgive us for being organized and working together…oh wait, this is an MMO that encourages teamwork to win, so i rescind my apology.

This point set aside, if JQQ gets the guilds that have said they are transferring, this week is hardly over. The guilds they are getting are not chump change. The dynamics of this week will change immensely, like last year’s Super Bowl…do not be a Patriots fan that started that victory dance early.

Just want to give props to Agg for fighting us tonight in BG bl, and not bailing out! I was on my way to bed around 4 am when I heard you guys were in there, and decided to give it another hour. Had some of the best fights this week vs. you guys.

Its a real shame we cant fight some more, but hopefully we will end up in the same borderlands tomorrow for some more fights.

Please do not be discouraged BG. You have fought well this week.

It takes more than a bad troll to get BG to stand down I only wish the guilds that see their members do these kind of troll posts would do something about it.

I wasn’t trolling chief. If you have read this thread, and my other posts, you would know that. I actually have given you, your film, and guild mad props all week. So take it for what it is worth, you are way off on your thoughts about what I was saying.

It looked like he was calling fuzzion (the guy you originally quoted as a troll) a bad troll, not YOU.

my bad then, if so. he did quote me, so i addressed it. the quoting in these threads is weird. you never get all the former posts stuff, and in defense of myself, it is late, i do dorky things late. nuff said if so.

And as my servermates have so eloquently put, we are looking for EU guilds…not entire servers. As I have read through this thread, it occurred to me that SoS is a great community. Our responses to the trolling speaks for itself. We remain on point even during the fire fight. Great job guys.

As for the trolls, I am baffled at your methods here. I do hope you find joy in what you do. Best of luck to you.

BG players are so bad I cant stop laughing after killing each one. I guess they were too used to playing in noob tier 2.

Um yeah, totally disagree. It is trolling like this, that continues to hit incorrectly with our community. BG came out hard on Friday, and have plenty of skill. They are a solid server and deserve to be in T1. At the present time, SoS is organized and strong. We strive to be respectful to each other, commanders and militia, and put time into getting stronger. Sharing tactics, what we have seen from enemy guilds, the whole nine yards.

Please do not be discouraged BG. You have fought well this week.

I have a story to tell guys, forgive me if it goes long but I think it proves there is 2 v 1 going on in T1. I am on SoS and I was with a group of about five heading toward Faith Leap supply came on the SoS map. I was a bit ahead when I arrived, and it was currently owned by JQ. When I arrived I saw two groups fighting, one mostly rangers the other mostly warriors I think. As I watched, each was tearing into the other with obvious disdain and neither seemed to notice me…at first.

I must have stood too close because suddenly they seemed to see me, and both turned in mass toward me! I tried to back up, but too late. I was overtaken quickly, but thankfully my fellow SoS players came to my rescue and I was resurrected. I’m telling you, the Centaurs and the Skritt double teamed me! It all happened so fast that I do not have a screenshot, but please believe, 2 v 1 DOES happen in T1.

I just snarfed my black tea. This is so funny. Delivery was perfect. Great post.

On a serious note, what happened to this thread. We were doing so well here. Get back on it guys. The past page was horid, minus a few good posts. Srsly.

My Lord, how do even have a chance against a server like SoS that has more numbers than the other 2 combined. Congrats SoS you are “the” Zerg server.

its quite aparent that there is only one T1 server that has coverage, the rest fight to be steamrolled by the zerg and pretend that they are in the same league as SoS. the sad part is that is is destroying any chance WvW has to remain viable.

Ox of [Agg] told me they only field about 35 at peak time. Not sure about Coron’s [tsym] numbers[maybe 40?], those are the 2 biggest NA pops on SoS. [Merc] is oceanic and I dntk their numbers. But like i alluded in my previous post. I dnt think alot of BG gets what is happening during the fight. HB, Ruin, some others I am sure they know. Adapt, overcome, PM your better commanders on BG, get a server wide meeting going for ppl that care, DO SOMETHING about your meta game, PM any of the SoS commanders, most of us love to talk about fights and basic foundations of tactics with anyone. SoS doesnt want to you all fail. We all love this game.

If ppl are going to continue to say there is hate about the video, stop. I am a forum troll for this thread, and i havent seen anything THAT bad. Let it be. The video was great. I love it almost as much as the first SWTOR cinematic when Shen Shatel’s master dies and she barely escapes on the smuggler’s ship. GOOD STUFF. Anyway, today/tonight was fun. I think T1 has a certain meta game that has come about that takes some getting used to. I dntk how many times tonight both servers ran from us on JQ bl and they had the numbers… we did not. We came over and were trebbing the NW tower from below. I think BG was trebbing from the Northside ridge, JQ pushed them out, while BG reinforcements were coming. We chased them to bay, wiping a good amount, then turned to fight JQ chasers and wiped them. What a blast. And ppl out there get this game, and are good at it. The guild xD, i think, from BG…props bros. A grp of 4 or 5 of you wiped 7 of us easily, twice… [granted 4 of us were lower lvls] I had to call for another grp to come and help finish you off down at lowland supply, but hey it was nice teamwork on your part and a good teaching moment for my team. Great grp you have… NICE WORK.

I never told you guys what my wish for New Year’s was…that ppl stop QQ’g so much and remember why we play, to have fun.

Here is a score as I head to bed.

So now SoS is spawn camping us in EB? I see you are now T1 because you have the numbers and the “night crew”. Not because of any skill or class. I’ve seen better sportsmanship in our T2 encounters.

This is what needs to stop, in my opinion. Should we just let you out and allow to gather income? Come on.

EDIT: EB is privilege, not a right. If you want income, and cant get a foothold in EB, go to your homeland and start the new OP event; get a couple towers.

Please read this Aorin, please learn how this game works, you will have more fun with it.

I said it before and I’ll say it again and dont take this as any disrespect. BG as a server has a lot of coverage but not enough skilled/organized coverage.

You’re joking right? The coverage BG has is far more oragnized/skilled than SoS or JQ, the problem is BG simply doesn’t have enough of it to match SoS’s numbers let alone SoS+JQ. BG has been constantly stopping much larger SoS zergs with fewer numbers, the problem comes when skill/organization cannot overcome a greater population and that’s the wall BG hits. BG can have 20 skilled and organized people but they aren’t going to win vs 100 half coordinated zerglings.

I disagree with this. In my experience from what I have seen, the numbers are fairly even. Let us not get into the outmanned thing now. The last thread got closed because of a 2v1 QQ. Why can not people be okay with that fact that, we ALL have some great tactics, and solid players on all sides. Why must there always have to be some kind of excuse for losing battles. When I lead [Work] into a situation where we are outmanned or I make a bad call, i admit to teamspeak, we re-group and formulate a new plan. That is what is fun about T1, it is more a chess match than a checkers game. The more we give light to some excuse, we start to belittle all of our’s skill. Why can we not keep a positive, with some light fun trolling mixed in here and there?

Please, can we not get moderated here? I personally have been having a ton of excitement this week. HB is a great foe. And other BG guilds have showed well. The dynamics of this game are as they are. Please try to accept it. This is T1 WvW3 for a reason. And also, from the rumor mill, maybe a PRX move will fill some gaps in coverage that BG is having. Either way, it is what is, this a great game, and we should work on strengthening our entire community. I know ppl need to stroke their kittens, but get over that. Keep this thread positive. It has been a fun weekend, and I am looking forward to a lot more fun this week. This kinda stuff is why we play MMOs, let US not forget that.
EDIT: Smokee’s video was great. If Kurthos or some other Aoi member, or someone from the SoS community had made such a great video, I would’ve applauded it, so I do not know why people are not giving Smokee props for making a solid inspirational piece for HIS server, and sending a message to JQ and SoS that HB and BG were going to bring it…which they have. So Smokee, great job man. And your guild has spoken with their tactics and field presence. Please keep it up.

Dear SoS Server,

I’m still looking for the guild “Zero” representative in your server. This exploit evidence need to be deliver to and the measure need to be done. It is not a simple stupid wall jumping exploit that everybody can do. The warp portal poped up on top of the garrison cliff in front of my face with garrison no cross sword/no gate break/no wall damage, is not a normal threat.

Or if you cant find this “Zero” Guild, put someone in your alliance forum that actually care to receive my evidence to PM me their email so that you can go deal with it on your server meeting/forum. Cheap exploit like this shouldnt be supported by so called No1 server.

Send me an mail. I can bring it up in the next Guild Leader’s meeting later this week. I personally dntk of this guild, or have ever even heard of them. I have been on SoS awhile, since we came from DB. I will let know what I find out or dnt find out.

That is the way WvW3 works, especially on EB. It isnt a red thing. Current income and points has everything to do with it. If you are in the lead, or second, you take points from your closest rival, and deal only with the third when they push you and threaten your holdings. That is only a basic rule, for there are always exceptions, but it isnt a 2v1 thing. Please don’t start that this week. It is a 3 way, and the weaker 1 of 3 is not a threat until they are in the top 2 of points or income at a particular time. Simple.

I am saving this on a note, so I can access it every time I see 2v1 talk.

And again….

And…[wait for it, dramatic pause]

FIRST OF ALL

TYTYTY

This type of interaction is SO very priceless, and I am happy this has turned into, what I feel is a meritorious thread. Just a reminder to Fergy and the CREW, we, us, the WvW3 community at large, LOVE your work. I know you have a ton of stuff on your plates, I mean some of you are working on Sunday, kudos, please keep up the good fight. We really do appreciate it. Some solid points have come up since my first post in this thread, which I re-quoted at the end of this waypnt discussion. I feel the siege issue has been addressed, but we still lack an answer on the gear issue and the list of your teams goals. Could you read again and maybe drop a priority list to us? I think if we had an idea of your bullet list, a bunch of us would be quelled even further with some of our frustrations.

Waypoints are currently the most powerful upgrade in the game but there are a few issues.

They are only inactive when the defense quest is active, are you guys planning on disabling them slightly longer than the defense quest to allow attackers to keep the defenders from spawning there just as the defense quest lapses?

For example under the current system I can count down on voip the defense quest and spawn in everyone right as it hits zero and before attackers can reflag the keep.

This is definitely a bug. I’ll see about leaving the rally points disabled for a few extra seconds after the event has completed. That way it just stays disabled if the event starts back up.

This would be an interesting fix. It would render waypoints utterly useless. People would not bother upgrading keeps, it will become even more of a circle zerg play style. Please do not fix this. I believe we have spoken to more pressing issues for your team to be addressing in regards to WvW3.

Mike,
Thank you for keeping this thread going, and continuing to reply. This means more than you know to someone like me, for one of my biggest pet pevs is to call a customer service line, or send out an email for a product I use, and get NO RESPONSE. So kudos, on at least dropping some crumbs.
My question for you is this, and I understand you can not be too specific, but I do think the more transparent ANET is, the more success you will have. What are your current goals for WvW3? Please share with us your current bullet list, say 5 goals, that you and your team consider to be priority. I do believe, if we can all get together about where this is going, and try to understand where you think the tweaks that need to be made, then a productive dialogue between OUR community can begin about what actually should get done. I personally, am not to concerned about siege despawn rate. If your team has scouts, and they understand how to read a clock in order to cycle back around certain towers or keeps, siege will be tended to, that is part of the game. Our alliance has always used 15 minutes, but now we can use 30, based on what was said earlier in this thread. I can accept that.
Stat weights however are a personal priority. Ascended gear should be attainable through WvW3. I burnt out of instance dungeons somewhere around 2005 in WotLK. I can’t stand them. I am sure Fractals are wonderful, but I came to this game for WvW3. I love it, can’t get enough it. However, I do feel a little slighted by the fact that my stats are not maxed because I stubbornly REFUSE to “fractal.”
In closing, my questions remains this, what are top 5 goals for OUR WvW3 community? From what I understand, you play, and it isn’t just because you work for ANET, you enjoy the meta of WvW3, so what are OUR plans???
Thanks again for your time, we do appreciate your efforts.

EDIT:
P.S. culling issue aside…that isn’t allowed to be one of your 5 goals. thanks again!!!

This stuff is great, keep it rolling guys, all of us.

It’s really boring to never see a true answers about siege weapon despawing, or do you guys at Anet dont even know how it works ?

Sure, I’ll spill dome details!

- How does siege despawning work?

Unbuilt siege sites that are placed by players will go away if someone does not bring supply to them within 10 minutes. Anyone that adds supply to a site should reset that timer.

Completed siege weapons will despawn if they haven’t been manned for 30 minutes.

Why do we have to do this? Each weapon takes up some small amount of resources on the server because we register a few pieces of data for each weapon in the field. One thing we absolutely cannot do is remove the timer entirely or else we have a situation where someone can put down a ton of weapons that could potentially be around forever (or until matches reset) and it would start to cause bad things to happen to the server. We also use some placement restrictions to help prevent there being too many siege weapons on the field, I’ll explain those more in the next question.

It’s admittedly not an ideal system but it is something we are required to do to keep the game running as smoothly as possible. We’d like to make it more obvious that the weapons have some sort of despawn timer since it is a completely hidden mechanic, but we don’t have a way to expose that timer to players yet.

If you played a bit of WvW you would know that it doesn’t work like that most of the time.

You asked if Anet would give any direct answers. I posted they did. I misread your original post, TRUE, answers. I play a ton of WvW3 and have plenty of experience the awkwardness of seige despawn rates. That was the point of my post. That is the answer. I dnt think they will spend anymore time on it.

Selling siege - Is it helping or hurting?

Did you spend 60 dollars on the game? Your game, as long as you respect the terms and conditions Anet has placed forth…sell all the seige you want. I am with 47ninjas here, if you were on SoS, I’d be one of your biggest customers. You can never have enough seige.

Donations to guild banks, or a tax…nuff said problem solved. If you arent in a strong guild and laying seige down everywhere, find some more friends to play with, form an alliance, and trade seige. My alliance takes care of each other. Also, jumping puzzle portals, making the announcement[and not just in LA or that specific zone, go to Orr and lowbie zones, main cities; a complete world circle] you have a jumper on lock down with portals to top, and you are looking for donations[if you can, not making ppl donate] can yield alot of seige for your guild. Also, inventive events, like a JP race with a buy in, and the winner gets seige and some gold for thier guild. We have done that on SoS also.

That is the way WvW3 works, especially on EB. It isnt a red thing. Current income and points has everything to do with it. If you are in the lead, or second, you take points from your closest rival, and deal only with the third when they push you and threaten your holdings. That is only a basic rule, for there are always exceptions, but it isnt a 2v1 thing. Please don’t start that this week. It is a 3 way, and the weaker 1 of 3 is not a threat until they are in the top 2 of points or income at a particular time. Simple.

The audio bug can be fixed pretty simply.

Go into your documents>GW2 folder and look at your local.dat file. If it’s bigger than 15mb, delete it and let the game reload it.

This is supposed to be your UI settings file, but it grows daily and over time gets too big and becomes corrupted for some reason. Deleting it fixes the sound bug.

You will have to reset all your settings again, but until a final fix is put in by Anet, this will correct it for you.

This fix does nothing for culling though.

Nice fix. Going to try it as soon as I get outta work. I knew it was something simple. Culling will never get fixed. I have given up hope. Unless Anet gets better servers, but I dnt think we buy enough gems for that.

Mike,
Thank you for keeping this thread going, and continuing to reply. This means more than you know to someone like me, for one of my biggest pet pevs is to call a customer service line, or send out an email for a product I use, and get NO RESPONSE. So kudos, on at least dropping some crumbs.
My question for you is this, and I understand you can not be too specific, but I do think the more transparent ANET is, the more success you will have. What are your current goals for WvW3? Please share with us your current bullet list, say 5 goals, that you and your team consider to be priority. I do believe, if we can all get together about where this is going, and try to understand where you think the tweaks that need to be made, then a productive dialogue between OUR community can begin about what actually should get done. I personally, am not to concerned about seige despawn rate. If your team has scouts, and they understand how to read a clock in order to cycle back around certain towers or keeps, seige will be tended to, that is part of the game. Our alliance has always used 15minutes, but now we can use 30, based on what was said earlier in this thread. I can accept that.
Stat weights however are a personal priority. Ascended gear should be attainable through WvW3. I burnt out of instance dungeons somewhere around 2005 in WotLK. I can’t stand them. I am sure Fractals are wonderful, but I came to this game for WvW3. I love it, can’t get enough it. However, I do feel a little slighted by the fact that my stats are not maxed because I stubbornly REFUSE to “fractal.”
In closing, my questions remains this, what are top 5 goals for OUR WvW3 community? From what I understand, you play, and it isn’t just because you work for ANET, you enjoy the meta of WvW3, so what are OUR plans???
Thanks again for your time, we do appreciate your efforts.

EDIT:
P.S. culling issue aside…that isnt allowed to be one of your 5 goals. thanks again!!!

I must concure Arch. Having not played against BG yet, thier execution and coordination is very solid. SBI fought well, and I wish them well but I must admit…the addition of BG into the mix is ALOT of fun. Some of the moves the HB commander was making last night on BGbl was making me SHAHgrin from ear to ear. Kudos to whomever you are. Not only are your forces large, but you all are a well oiled machine. I love the split force hit. Not sure if it was just culling but it seemed like a few times while you hit either vale or arah’s you sent about 1/3 of your force in, hammer line and condibombs, then portal bombed with glass cannon grps, and BOOM … i see like 15 downed teammates. Really some solid tactial fighting going on…all 3 sides. I definately dnt want to leave JQ out. You guys are bringing it hard as usual. I am looking forward to great week. This kinda stuff is why I love playing this game. Great meta happening in T1 atm. BG, welcome back to T1, you deserve this spot, kudos. JQ, some nice adjustments you all have made the past 2 weeks. I appreciate all of it. Good Luck.

EDIT: ocd, mistyped a few words.
