In one family of three children, each child gets a plate of bacon for breakfast.
In another family of three children, one child gets three plates and the other two get none.
Your solution is to take the bacon from the first family rather than having the fatass child from the second family share his bacon?
Please re-read what i said. The claim was that TC has the power to change this 4 servers one tier snafu; i added on so do SoR, BG, and JQ. Hopefully me saying the whole thing instead of tacking it on will make it more accessible for others.
That’s what I’m saying… Why are you expecting T1 to fix a problem TC is perpetuating?
Sure, I can say Vizunah, Desolation, Henge of Denravi have the problem to fix this if only they’d just transfer to T2. That doesn’t mean it makes sense. That doesn’t mean this problem and its immediate solution (TC dispersing) doesn’t rest solely on TC itself.
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.
I’m just surprised SoR took them in. Especially considering how evangelical they are about BG directing transfers to JQ.
They had a real shot at balancing the tier by sending them to JQ. Even if they were worried about BG’s sporadic-at-best EU coverage, having KISS in JQ to take the pressure off and at the same time balance the tier is far better than stacking their server more.
Plus their posters are talking circles regarding their need for KISS, too.
Apparently it’s okay for SoR to get these transfers because they lost one week against a server they claim was doing overtime. It makes sense to balance your servers regular coverage to a servers utmost peak coverage… I guess.
SoR just got more EU coverage, too. This week was a good matchup, really close, but I doubt we’ll see that happen again, now
That was peculiar.
SoR now has 2 60 man EU guilds while RG is leaving JQ.
Well, with [Agg] there it might even out the overall score still. But, my guess is that IRON vs. HB (when they’re on)/RK vs. KISS would’ve been the more balanced player distribution for that timeslot.
So [Agg] and “some” [RG] are staying on JQ, from what I’ve gathered? And [FoE] is on there too? I actually did see the tag and was curious, but it was too crowded to check the guild.
Anyway, kudos to the JQ who didn’t attack me in the Obsidian Sanctum, and left me alone to kill the one JQ who was. Shame on you for actually dying to a PVT Guardian with the Hammer, btw.
Btw – I hope that CU game lives up to the hype ( oddly, it has hype), from what I’ve read it’d be something I’d pay a sub fee for.
1. Nobody was online after 3 am PST, not much fights to win when nobody is really on.
That’s because your people stopped coming.
If you want facts, look at the MOS history for 12-5 AM PST for SoR and your PPT. You’d see that that time slot is normally competitive, and that your server has the lead for much of it.
In fact, at the tail end of SEA, SoR was doing better than they are now, 12:33 PM PST.
? I’m not sure if you’re trying to prove my point or something else.
Sorry, I’ve mistaken you for someone who possesses sufficient reading comprehension skills.

Face it, a lot of the credit goes to [Agg] and [RG]’s brief time in JQ. Helped to balance the score to something more resembling a three way match up. They dropped off, but by then BG just clung to the score for dear life.
Ignore everyone who says tiers don’t exist. Tier 1 will always exist and the likelihood of those three servers (or at the very least 2/3) getting matched together again and again is almost a certainty. Don’t be afraid to transfer there because people in this thread think SoR is going to get matched with HoD one day.
I’m noticing a decline in normal attendance this week from SoR. I could list a bunch of excuses as to why that is but I’m sure that is the case on the other servers as well. BG just seems to want to win this week so GG BG on your victory this week you guys really earned it this time.
Its not over until reset
Ya I know that bro but I’m calling it now. I personally don’t care If we win or lose I’m in it for the fights, most of rallians share that sentiment. Welp back to getting 1g per dungeon complement.
Not going to get any fights bro if you don’t show up…just saying.
It’s not over till it’s over.
Nah. The real fight is in the Aetherblade Retreat. I’ve died more times there in the last two days than the last two weeks of WvW.
I was like:
“Guardian… Die… PvE… Does. Not. Compute.”
Have RG moved back, then? I swore I saw a group just this morning. Or was that their last night in NA?
No it’s not. SoR has done it anyone can do it as well. We are talking about large guilds and not individual players. The leaders of such guilds are level headed and looking for a challenge so they would listen to what the servers have to say because in the end they want to be welcomed there and to be part of the community. It is amusing to think otherwise.
I don’t see how that refutes my point, and everyone has turned away transfers at this point. BT and IRON did their research, neither SoR or BG had final say on their transfers.
Any guilds looking to transfer to T1 can ascertain on their own the strength of each server. MOS is brilliant that way. It’s JQ’s responsibility to appeal to potential tranfers, if they want any, in the community sense.
SoR is in first, but BG should send players over to JQ?
We finally have equal coverage between BG and SoR, but BG should send players to JQ?
You logic good.
lol, your logic is even better.
BG is within 13k points from 1st
JQ is 40k from 1st.
Now which one of those servers do you think needs a little more coverage?
Wait. So assuming it’s equal coverage as you say between us, BG should be the server to send guilds to JQ? I’m not following.
It’s very simple, just follow SoR example. We have already recommended potential guilds to join BG and JQ instead of SoR.
We’ve been doing that for a while, once somewhat recently, and back when Lalyn was around, he handled that thing for the top 4 tiers.
The fact of the matter is that BG has no control over anyone wanting to transfer here.
They either want to transfer here to be here, specifically on BG, for friends or whatever, and we can’t turn them away.
Or they’re like IRON and come for the WvW, and can make an educated transfer themselves.
Implying that BG has final say on anyone’s transfers is amusing, to say the least. And a testament to the lengths some go to besmirch the server.
Retaliation – don’t fight
Torment – don’t move
Confusion – don’t do anything
? – don’t even show your face around here
On the bright side if they’re nerfing stun breakers you have a better chance of being stuck while tormented. I think it’s slightly overkill that you can’t even negate the damage by standing still… You only take less. At least Retaliation you can stop attacking, and Confusion you can stop casting… With Torment you get the range to decide between hurting where you’re standing, or hurting more 5 feet over there.
On a side note I wonder if forcing people to move with CC that have Torment will trigger the extra damage.

Now which one of those servers do you think needs a little more coverage?
You’re still not getting it? Here: SoR is 40k points ahead of JQ.
Judging by BG’s EU ppt atm, I’d assume its safe to say that the excuse of SoR’s EU-NA is the reason we win is now gone? Finally looks like we have equal coverage between BG/SoR, now if only we could get BG to start sending guilds to JQ we may yet have ourselves the most balanced tier in GW.

I wonder how the gagillion stun breakers Guardian has will be affected by the patch.
I think everyone with a Mesmer is going to go back to stacking Confusion and now with Torment as soon as the patch goes live. Torment itself seems like it’ll just encourage even more blobbing, despite it obviously being intended for small group combat.
It shouldn’t be anybody coming to terms and accepting this BS. Thus why I made this thread. It’s a problem that needs to be talked about and needs to be made aware to the Devs that people are hating what this game is turning into in its first year.
I think people will sooner leave the game than ANet be convinced that their practices are alienating large portions of their player base. The fact that it’s a F2P video game means will more likely walk away feeling dejected than care enough to incite change.
Now, I want to get that dragon shield. If i don’t get it, no problem. If I do get it I will have the satisfaction to know that it is a rare item.
Releasing content period promotes variety. Releasing it in the way ANet does it promotes exclusivity. There are people that can afford these things… And there are people who can’t. I can’t. Most people can’t and are turned off by it. It doesn’t endear anyone to ANet or to GW2.
I dread every content update for this reason, and a couple others. I’m at that point where I like the game enough to play it when I have nothing else to do.
Agreed. I said what I said in the quote you posted because that was in regards to tickets. If tickets exist, it should be from just events like what’s happening now. But the thread is more about the big picture. General lack of overall weapons / skins of weapons.
Having rare weapons from specific bosses (refer to what I said about profession bosses dropping weapons related to their profession) similar to GW1, from vendors, etc. is definitely needed. It was fun being able to farm UW for a chance at seeing a Soul Reaper – fun running Fissure of Woe for a chance to get an Obsidian Edge. RARE weapons that required WORK to obtain – not money bags.
A problem is that NCSoft doesn’t care about anything except their Korean customers (who make up something like 60%+ of the games players). Korean players reportedly love buying RNG boxes – and considering our gem money is going to fund expansions for games like Aion and Lineage (arguably the worst RNG / grindy MMOs currently still active), it’s obvious what the priorities are.
Keep in mind that with an official real money to in game currency conversion system anything farmable will be available to moneybags as well as to those who work for it. I guess that isnt such a bad thing. The guy who only has a couple of hours a week to play can buy his Golden Phoenix Blade (please add this) from you with Gold gotten through the gem store (I am sure that we both know that plenty of people got their rare skins in GW1 through illicitly purchased platinum).
In fact that is why I have hope for rare, farmable, weapon (or even armor) skin additions. Your rare drop of the newest shiney is an incentive for someone else to buy gems to trade for gold. I think that there are plenty of people willing to spend money on the game to get what they want who just are not that into gambling for it. I think that there is room for both RNG boxes and farmable skins.
You bring up good points, but once again, if this trend continues, how would you feel if the only way to obtain any new weapon or armor skin was RNG boxes and weapon tickets from said boxes?
I think most people who think about these things have already come to terms with the some of ANet’s more… annoying practices.
You should know what “OOC” means, frankly. You say know your audience but knowing his audience is probably why the guy used “ooc” in the first place. It’s a prominent abbreviation relating to the res mechanic in the game.
The fact that you didn’t and someone explained it to you kind of defeats the point of this thread. People will use abbreviations, and you’ll learn to use them, or at the very least understand them… You’re not going to get anyone to stop.
(On a side note, BG actually did recieve a Kaineng guild last week. Just to show how much respect you guys show to the transfers you recieve)
Name and size? I’m genuinely curious, not trying to be dismissive. We have a large militia, so there’s lots of new/different tags all the time.
Also, there’s tons of claims of all the new recruits BG is getting, but you’d be the first person to actually name a single one.
I think he’s referring to XF, the PvX SEA guild the transferred two weeks ago, or at least began transferring then.
How they’re supposed to balance out IRON, I don’t know. Nor are XF new to a match up with IRON in it, so once again, still a case of poor reading comprehension.
Beastgate feeds off the hate…and uncrustables. Oh, and sorry about the pug group last night Choo and TDub…we didn’t know we were so good in GvGs. 6-1 where’s Red Guard at?!?!
Welcome back! I haven’t seen you around ever since last time BG start winning. I also hope that Red Guard joins SoR to balance BG’s new recruitment.
RG already moved to JQ, and BG didn’t get any new recruits lol… SoR is fighting the same force that they’ve been fighting for months.
Someone is a bit delusional. BG has gotten multiple guilds in the past month or two. To claim otherwise is insulting towards the guilds that transferred to your server. If you want I could list them.
Mostly because we here at SoR and JQ enjoy going outside on beautiful weekends since we work during the week. But hey keep “owning” outmanned forces, when the numbers actually become even again BG will run as always.
Did someone just try to use the PvD excuse on a weekend?
Btw I just got home from work, which is why I was asking. Swanky pants SoR/JQ can afford to take Saturday’s off, think they’re better than us. /cry*
