Guild Wars 2

Double click nothing and zoom your camera way in so you don’t autotarget anything else if you try to leap or whatever. Works for me. Super sensitive mouse wheel tho.

Yeah. Season 1 is horrible.

Servers died and the end result was one, maybe one and a half good match so far. Ironically, it was the same match we were playing during ladder every week. Whodathunk?

Wait for him to get bored is ANet’s official stance on the matter.

I always thought that was there on purpose so that the blue server could treb SMC from their keep just like red can, except it obviously takes a lot more effort. Back then when the colours weren’t random, EB was apparently designed to favour the weakest server.

The end of reason is its own reward.

You make it sound like your match up isn’t a blow out anyway….

hobbes.6178:

I sure wish people actually recorded their WvW endeavors. Apparently Maguuma, Blackgate AND SoS all wiped every single player they came across. No one on either server died at any point during this match up…according to this thread at least.

I died twice to Minotaurs.

… and? WvW is not made only of WvW guilds.

Can’t believe you said this and you still can’t understand the queue disparity between servers.

Rock is strongest. It absolutely demolishes scissors.

and yet there are no nerfs to Rock in the Dec. 10th proposed changes. I just don’t get it.

ANet devs play rock thats why.

BG should really consider not upgrading anything but camps this week. Our first week without a T1 server and it’s going to get lonely.

On a side note: I’m genuinely impressed how much damage Leagues did to server pops with transfers and just the overwhelming negativity regarding coverage wars in just about every match-up. Slow clap for ANet.

If you mean BG vs. FA vs. HoD, then lol…

Everyone who agreed to this probably doesn’t realize it’ll play like being chilled the whole time. People will leave this game in droves if it’s implemented.

I mean it would only be fair to see what its like to get rolled by a 80 to 100 man zerg when you are the rollee and not the roller.

You mean like … this?

Why did you cover one of your utilities? Build too secret?

Jayne.9251:

Some ZD were spotted back on SFR maps today. Did they leave BG?

ZDs never left EU, only a fraction of their players ever transferred.

Alypsis.3425:

I just want to say thanks to all of my fellow team mates on Blackgate and everybody from SOR, JQ, SOS, TC that I have fought against and enabled me to enjoy and start to learn how to WvW.

Poor Maguuma.

Vapour.7348:

I’m from TC and I’d like to say that the folks from BG are some of the nicest around.

I wanted to move to a T1 before the season started and a BGer asked me if I could afford moving to a T1. If not, he could help pay for half or so of my transfer to any of the T1 servers, not just exclusive to BG.

I declined because I did not need financial assistance but I thought it was a really kind gesture and will never forget it. He wasn’t trying to buy me and instead just offered help.

Just by browsing through this thread, I can say that some BGers are sweethearts.

Posts like these have me wondering if I’m the only constantly broke person on this server.

akanibbles.6237:

Congratulations to Blackgate. Totally dominated this match up, and the title appears to be all wrapped up.

I thought Jade Quarry would have pushed you more. Still we all know where to go to be on the winning server.

HoD.

Chris.3290:

I respectfully request that Blackgate rolls all engineers for next week’s matchup…just because they can.

We’ve already decided to roll Rangers.

You have an issue with the way ranking people in a competition is done.
If there is a tie at first place, the next ranked one is third, absolutely not second.
To get it simple, your place is determined by adding one to the number of people that did strictly better than you.

Ah ok, so if JQ/BG tie for first then the next spot would go to someone in 3rd and no one would get 2nd? Is that what your saying? If that is what you’re saying happens, that sucks, but would also mean that if that’s the case then SoR definitely would not want a tie between BG/JQ. So that being said then you can almost guarantee SoR would team up with BG in week 7 to secure a tie for second(as long as SoR beats JQ in week 6) with JQ. Let’s face it, if you’re getting rewards for your rank you’re going to want to rank as high as possible and do so by any means. Interesting…

Do you know much about the BG/SoR history? We pretty much hate BG. Go look at the SoR/BG/SoS thread… Also people I talked to preferred to help JQ win over BG. I only speak for myself but I don’t care about the rewards for seasons. Some may agree some may not.

I’m on SoS and I agree with most of my server. I would prefer to help JQ over BG since BG has been acting like a bunch of deuches since the start of seaon1.

thats the only thing i dont like hearing people say. I dont know where it all came from but ppl saying that about BG bums me out. But a few rotten eggs always spoil the bunch and im sure there was some idiots talking from BG…

ive actually been trying to help people from other servers when ive gone in. If im on the ruins i try to help constant cap them so ppl can finish their AP if they need it, same with the sentries making rounds and taking turns flipping them, etc etc… the only time ive ever fought someone is if theyve made the mistake of attacking me first Im always down for some good fights and duels but atleast have some respect :P just type /e your words here, to communicate :P

Spawn camping a complete minority with a bunch of siege in their own BL. That isn’t good PR. Moving a 30+ man zerg to crush 1 dude trying to get his dolyak achieve in his own BL isn’t good PR. Having a small zerg camping in the JP in someones BL isn’t good PR. A group of 10 kept on ROFL Stomping me in the ruins on my own BL while I was trying to get the achieves. I actually had to go to JQ you get them. These are just a few examples of what people from your server did you ruin your rep.

In our fight with JQ and Mag, JQ actually helped us get a karma train going so that people could get their achieves and have a little fun. That is good PR. Several of them were actually courteous enough to allow me to do the JP in their own BL. I though that was very nice of them. Most of the time their zerg doesn’t go out of their way to steamroll 1 guy. You actually have to be in their way.

Because SoS wasn’t spawn camping and breaking the karma train…. Oh wait.

In your defence, your spawn camp probably wasn’t ever as thorough as any BG could pull off. But what goes around comes around.

I like how Windler said SoR participated in the 2v1 so they could get second. SoR participated because they thought they could get first, you numpty. Unfortunately, they didn’t get a Week 2 infusion of ZDs.

BG needs to get to the next level and let me buy achievement points so I can get my glowy helm.

Please no more leagues!

Cirus.5748:

If JQ has been having queues across all timezones in these past few weeks (while playing against tier 2 servers), then this proves that coverage is not an issue for JQ.

It’s not an issue for either SoR or JQ. ZDs seems to have a drastic and immediate demoralizing effect on people though. The same can be said for when IRON first transferred to T1. We adapted better then than JQ/SoR are now, though. It’s probably due to the consecutive 1v1’s that exacerbate coverage flaws. Together, we’d be a lot more even and people would be a lot more inclined to play instead of ragequit.

I remember when JQ had the 5k lead this match up I noticed a drop in participation from pugs. If JQ held onto that momentum, we’d probably be experiencing the same participation drought they are now, but fortunately BG rallied.

An addendum …

Cod on Cod.3694:

Oh noes…. Did we break yet another T1 server? Oops!

Oh please, go troll somewhere else. Of course you haven’t broken us. This is JQ you are talking about. However, we certainly have a problem right now matching your new strongest time zone against our weakest and during the working week its hard to cover those gaps like we did over the weekend.

See that. JQ are working overtime to give us a game. We can at least admit that we’re overstacked, and that there’s no reason to feel bad in losing to us.

Why did you transferred off SOS to BG for league if BG vexes you so much? stacked? why did you transfer to stack BG? Do you know you just slap yourself in the face?
if we are stacked, I hope the most useless person that is you who does only trash talk home server to leave BG and help JQ or SOR. Thanks. I can personally sponsor your transfer fee. Please pm me in game.

I honestly don’t know why Jeydra doesn’t transfer… From the way he talks about BG it sounds like if (when) BG wins he’s going to sit in the shower crying over this dirty victory.

Dude, Jeydra, just transfer already. By your own admission you’re not going to get any sense of satisfaction from being on BG. And the fact that you actually proposed people leave, instead of just leaving yourself, puts you in the troll category.

Alright.. soo:

“Your personal fractal difficulty and reward level is being made account-wide! Starting with the Fractured release, you can attempt high level fractals on a new character without needing to level up all over again.”

Source: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/upcoming-changes-for-the-fractals-of-the-mists/#mistlock

Now… really, why is this still character based?

Yep, this is ridiculous, if they can do it for fractals they can do it for WXP. Fractals are PvE where there is much more reason for there to be character progression.

Judging from the Fractal update…. It seems we have to wait until WvW reaches a higher level of inactivity so they can “update” it with something people wanted a long time ago to reinvigorate the interest.

Chris.3290:

The greatest irony will be if BG drops like a rock to 3rd after the season ends and ZDs goes back to EU.

It’s little things like this that are making/have made the season such a destructive force of nature.

Since it looks like the outcome has become/is becoming a forgone conclusion I think it’s safe to begin the autopsy on this fiasco.

No, the greatest irony is that BG was in 3rd place before ZDs transferred. The other servers knew it. And everything they’ve complained about since Week 2 they would’ve done to a BG without ZDs.

Pretty sure they need a Longbow stealth buff before they’re viable in WvW.

Jeydra.4386:

ReverendChan.8467:

Again, if you feel the way the server performs in WvW can be done better that is something you need to mention on the BG community forums or TS. It is very hard to believe you have a community agenda when you say something about JQ that is nice/deserved, but instantly jab your own server in the same sentence (like saying they played awful so that is why JQ got a lead. FYI that also doesn’t do much to help JQ).

Tell me which part of my post made you think that I “feel the way the server performs in WvW can be done better”, or qualifies as a “jab”. Note I didn’t say we played awful, and note that I can only see what’s happening in one out of four maps.

Also if you don’t want to be seen as boasting, then man up and say Blackgate is overstacked relative to JQ / SoR. The idea that SoR can field zergs that are far larger than what Blackgate does and therefore SoR are QQ’ing is (no offense) silly, because we both have the same map cap. If SoR is fielding zergs that are far larger than what Blackgate has, yet Blackgate is queued, then SoR are simply playing better (up to roaming / havoc squads etc – you know what I mean). Again, you should man up and admit it.

Finally FYI I’ve spent 5+ hours over the past two days running supply from Hero’s / Foghaven / Redwater to Lake / Hills on JQ BL. When we didn’t hold those camps I’ve even ran supply from Vale or Bay. I’ve built something like 20 superior ACs solo by now, and I’ve continued to run supply even though we’ve not managed to hold Lake / Hills. I don’t care what you or the server or Chris.3290 think about me. I’m playing for PPT and I’m playing to win.

See you on the battlefield.

Jeydra playing the Complaints Per Tick game too strong.

Chris.3290:

I know people who were in on the beta for said “undisclosed” MMO title; and I was not impressed with the looks or the execution.

No one is impressed. I haven’t read anything positive about that game ever. And from my own research, it looks to be an utter disappointment. On the other hand, they have fancy CGI trailers.

Soren.9316:

BG, JQ, come back to us! We miss you!

Miss you so bad infact we’ve takin to buying rename kits to call ourselves ‘Blackgate Zerg’ and ‘Need More Jade Quarries’. Has made for some pretty halarious RC convos though, especially when someone shouts out “Incoming Blackgate Zerg! Oh wait, it’s just our guy”

Seriously though I want our love triangle back. XD

SoR #1 RP server.

Umm.. i think you got the wrong info sir. IoJ once hit T1. But it’s always been HoD/SBI/JQ till TA disperse.

I’m impressed at how often people forget NSP/ET…

Gilgamesh.7364:

BG hasn’t even started playing hard yet, they usually get stronger on the weekdays.

Why? Is it because they master the PVD during weekdays when everyone have to go to work, school, etc?

Yeah. It’s easier that way.

What even happened in the other thread, lol? It wasn’t nearly as bad as last weeks.

We don’t even know what’s in it but I’m not blaming the OP for thinking it sucks.

Everyone should get an Ascended weapon, what with us having to worry about armor now.

Every time a Warrior gets a kill with Longbow they get Orb buff for their entire server. Stacks to 25.

Fafnir.5124:

what makes you think BG is going to loose they haven’t lost yet?

JQ closed a 4k gap and built a 4k lead in one day, for one thing.

Don’t forget, Longbow should give Warriors 1s of Quickness on every hit.

You either lagged and died in WvW when you left, or you lagged and died in PvE when you started.

Yeah, this bothers me in every game. Kill cam is the most peculiar thing. Basically saying that if you beat a person, then he should be privy to information he wouldn’t otherwise have.

I’m not sure why developers put it in games. I know it wasn’t the case at the beginning, but it’s the norm now.

I thought this thread was going to be about Golem driving school.

If you’ve leveled one character you should have like a hundred already.

I don’t think you’ve seen enough people stopped by one static ring to claim SYG is OP.

NargofWoV.4267:

Not going to happen, what would happen is, the 3 top tier realms would lose players/guilds to the middle six. Playing the same two realms over and over and over and over and over and over and over for a 7 week season would be painful.

You make it sound like that isn’t what they were doing before Leagues started.

During the the pure glicko matchmaking, some people complained the matches were stale. ANet added a bit of randomization to the ladder, and every time the top three were separated, people complained that it was no longer fun.

Obviously we want, and should be, stuck together.

nirvana.8245:

DKNS.2135:

So i am seeing all the current match-ups on MOS and what i see is that each and every match-up has been unbalanced. Just look at it. The closest servers ppt-wise are HoD and SF and those too also have a 30K difference. And i doubt this is hardly a question of this week.

When people asked to spice up WvW, i am pretty sure this is not what they wanted.

Yeah, but at the same time if we continue leagues on a regular basis I think we will see players and guilds dispersing. Apart from the first week every week on BG has been extremely boring and there is nothing to do or fight for. Its made me want to leave the server for the first time since I arrived there. I suspect there would be guilds who would feel the same way.

Leagues has shown us just how unbalanced things really are and has taught some of us that winning is not equal to enjoyment in the game.

Or they could discontinue leagues and we’d be back to match ups like Week 1.

We were on a better course to achieving server balance during ladders than we are if we continue leagues.

This isn’t T1, this is Gold League.

Crawford.4135:

• The compass and map will now display enemy markers for enemies who are in combat and within line of sight of one of your teammates.

I wondered about this. About 4 weeks ago I kept seeing enemies on my minimap while in WvW brushing it off as a bug. Now I know what it was.
no I didn’t report it as a bug, reporting in this game does nothing

Go on……

Sir Black.7423:

We can already do naval combat. You know that little boat in Bay? :P

Ah, the SS Floater.

The fact that lower tier servers had so few players and no queues was actually their main selling point prior to Leagues. It’s when ANet deciding to match them up against far larger servers that people started clamouring for “balance”.

Not changing the color falls under ANet’s established game mode for high concurrency WvW, though. That is, to just spam skills into blobs.

In smaller engagements, it hardly matters.
