the amount of kitten in this thread is astronomical

If you look closely you’ll find puppies too.

There’s a lot of negative banter, but there is one thing you can take from it… there’s a lot of people that are quite into the WvW scene and a good bit of server pride as well. While the chat may be less than friendly I think overall it’s a good sign.

And here I was thinking we were sharing a much too rare moment of civility and good will among neighboring servers. I apologize for the error. However, to Noodle’s point…

Well I was being civil and supporting the tactics employed by a JQ commander. You took it in a different direction with your veiled claim to have no equal in open field combat.

Bah, I certainly have equals out there. Hell, thieves tend to eat me alive half the time if I don’t see them coming. Very frustrating. Still, the occasional victory makes it worth while. Although I do find that against non-thieves at the worst I have a pretty decent chance on at least escaping with my mesmer. I love the confusion masses of clones can sow out there.

To bring another point, why do you think we would ever partake in open field combat when we have over 7 fortifications to defend on our own borderlands with stuff we had prebuilt?

I don’t blame you for this at all. It is tactically sound to use your fortifications to your advantage. This is especially true when your opponents is superior in the open field. If I were you, I would do the exact same thing.

If we ever come across an opponent that’s superior in the open field we’ll consider your advice. Thank you for your kindness in sharing that.

Interesting, but it wasn’t my ‘advice’. I was just telling the commander on your server that I do not blame him in the least for not coming out to fight. I was supporting his tactics. Please take note of his words:

“To bring another point, why do you think we would ever partake in open field combat "

Thanks!

And here I was thinking we were sharing a much too rare moment of civility and good will among neighboring servers. I apologize for the error. However, to Noodle’s point…

In the name of restoring civility, I leave you with this:

Warfare is the Way of deception.
Therefore, if able, appear unable,
if active, appear not active,
if near, appear far,
if far, appear near.
If they have advantage, entice them;
if they are confused, take them,
if they are substantial, prepare for them,
if they are strong, avoid them,
if they are angry, disturb them,
if they are humble, make them haughty,
if they are relaxed, toil them,
if they are united, separate them.
Attack where they are not prepared, go out to where they do not expect.
This specialized warfare leads to victory, and may not be transmitted beforehand.
Before doing battle, in the temple one calculates and will win, because many calculations were made;
before doing battle, in the temple one calculates and will not win, because few calculations were made;
many calculations, victory, few calculations, no victory, then how much less so when no calculations?

By means of these, I can observe them, beholding victory or defeat!

Dear arena net:
Can we have that wvw reset back? Tier 1 has become too bitter. I want to fight against hungry servers not old bitter enemies. Can’t JQ and SoS get along? After all you both suckand have too much coverage. And your guilds eat puppies.
Honestly this match up went from exhilarating to exhausting in 2 weeks. How can we fix this?

Send us your puppies as a peace offering and we’ll let you keep a fortified tower on your home borderlands. We’ll even keep the graffiti to a minimum.

I love how every1 in SoR Trash talk about JQ, but u will still lose at the end of the week. U are so pro for winning NA coverage, but while u are in JQ BL u lose everything in the others BLs. So I don’t get the logic in ur actions

At least we can spell your and you.

Forgive me for asking… but how many times did you double-check your spelling before posting? Once in a while I may “mention” a grammatical error or two and I find myself proof-reading a lot more intensely when I do.

Kalaster.9014:

Let me start by stating, I am by no means bashing GW2, haha, faaaaaaar from it! In fact, GW2 has given me almost everything i look for in MMO’s. Fun leveling, awesome armor sets, skinning your armor, voice acting, beautiful graphics, no more repetitive quests, epic WvWvW, crafting exp, and the nostalgic feeling of exploring.

But what my title states, is that i can no longer play any MMO that follows the gruesome quest log, collecting quests, and so on! I’ve been raised to believe all of that is standard and the only way to enjoy MMO’s. But Guild Wars has changed my outlook on online gaming. I know some of you may not fully agree with what i am going say, but Guild Wars 2 has revolutionized MMO gaming, for me at least.

Like today, i was bored, and decided to revisit Aion seeing as it went f2p. Not even 30 seconds in, i gave up because i could not stand reading through the quest logs, knowing i had to kill 6 wolves, and find like 10 chicken eggs. >.<

anyone else experiencing this as well? Anyone else try Visiting/ revisting other MMO’s and just couldn’t stand it?

Preaching to the choir. My first dabble into GW2 was, I think, pre-official Beta and to be honest, the first hour or so felt odd… like learning to walk again. From then on, though, that was it. Love at first dodge. The thought of a static quest-bang world… I shudder at the concept. It’s as though we’re in the next generation of theme park styled MMOs and you don’t realize how flawed the prior generation was until you look back at it and wonder “what the puppy were they thinking?”.

Justin.7163:

Absolutely not. GW 2 is a good game, but suffers from too many flaws to make it worth a subscription. IMO a game has to basically be problem-free for me to even consider paying a subscription and needs a buttload of content to justify it, and not just those lame tactics MMO’s often use to extend game time like stupidly slow leveling speed, endless grind, etc, etc. Not saying GW 2 has these features but just referring to those MMO’s I’ve either played or heard of.

Are there any MMOs out there without “too many flaws to make it worth a subscription”? Hell, by that definition WoW isn’t worth the money, but people enjoy it anyhow and fork over the cash because they do.

“Too many flaws”, btw, is simply an expression of opinion, not a statement of fact, and should be presented as such. WoW had a ridiculous number of bugs on release, but people paid and enjoyed it. GW2 is much less buggy for it’s age and more than worth the sub price were they to have had one considering the time spent in game relative to amount of money spent. Some would pay a sub for GW2, some wouldn’t, some would but refuse to admit it on the forums and weaken their forum PvP ratings. Regardless, it’s a great game.

Pay a sub just to do dailies?

This is what I mean when I say that development took a dive when they started chasing the WoW-model.

No, I wouldn’t pay a subscription fee to play a game which relies on the daily crutch.

But if one of them needs to go, it’s the dailies.

Last night I’m in WvW and didn’t notice the daily reset, just kept playing. When I finally looked I had the daily 60% done.

I logged into GW last night to check that platinum bow, into Old L.A. Had to hang around a few minutes and absorb the nostalgia. Still looked like plenty of folks running around, still people hawking their wares in chat… then it was time for bed.

Aw man, not Agg. Those guys were a blast to go up against. I’m on JQ and… I’ll miss them.

Unless of course they help BG move into Tier 1, then they’re a bunch of rabid, scum-sucking dogs not worthy of the ant residue on the bottom of my boot. Good luck in your new home Agg, hope to see you all again soon.

Nothing to do with playstyle, instances, any of that… things. What things do you miss that you had from GW1. There’s one thing that I’m most nostalgic for from the old days that I would love to find on the HoM vendor… way back before inscriptions in GW1 I found a req 7 (I’m pretty sure it’s 7, could have been 8 but pretty sure 7…) max damage 15/50 Platinum bow. That bow I still have on the account to this day. If I could have the skin from that bow brought forwards to today… I wuvved that bow.

Max q7 bows never existed. Yours is most likely q8.

You’re right, I just verified it. Req 8 Fiery Platinum bow of Sundering IIRC… sigh…

I like things that look like I like them to look. I’ll transmute stats about as I see fit and wind up happy.

#2, btw, doesn’t apply in GW2.

Miiaah.5416:

Why don’t SoR and SoS double team them? I know JQ and SoS had no trouble not fighting each other during BGs first week back to T1. When you put JQ down by 60k go for a free for all on Monday

They tried that. Didn’t work.

The sun never sets in the Quarry.

I’m happy with an “all of the above” mesmer. Balanced, contributes in so many ways.

I’m sitting here eating a salad for lunch contemplating the irony of it all…

To any SoR or BG that come to T1 and complains about JQ’s coverage:

I have a second acct on TC because I have another set of friends there that I play with.
Lets be honest, its not like T2 has equal coverage all the time. When you rotate into 4th place, I dont see you going to T2 and saying “oh we feel super bad about them waking up every morning with a 10 tick, lets not play from midnight to 6am.” TC gets up every morning, starts taking thier stuff back and fighting, and puts up a good fight all day long. With great fun attitudes on top of that. Maybe you should all take a lesson from them. And if your “night crew” that propelled you into T1 isnt good enough for T1 do something about it. Did you really think T1 wasnt gonna be harder than T2? Your tears here make me laugh because I also know what goes on in T2.

Everyone else – amazing fights all around. Its been great watching SoR grow and become the strong server they are now. To our sisters and brothers over there from JQ, I am proud of you all!

If they made the out manned buff actually worth something no one would complain at all. Heck if you got out manned and suddenly the waypoints in you keeps opened for free that would be a start! And would make things competitive a wee bit.

Hey… that’s good. Incontestable way points when out-manned? One thing you’d have is groups map hopping to defend structures in a hurry… which would fill the maps and allow those WPs to contest… I like that. That needs to be in the suggestions forum.

covenn.7165:

Even last night while we were holding most of the JQ BL. If we had been 2v1ing, we wouldn’t have been forced to regularly and repeatedly leave the garrison we were defending from you, to stop SoS from taking hills/bay/southern towers from us. In fact, we had to sacrifice objectives due to this several times because we were getting hit by both of you simultaneously.

Can I complain that your two servers have some conspiracy together to make it hard on SoR? Not really, it is the way the game is played and the very nature of three way fights.

Just let it go.

Last night wasn’t Friday night last I checked. I’m talking about out-of-the-gate Friday night and our subsequent recovery, how we weren’t broken or demoralized and came back quite well from the punch in the nose, which appears to have broken the other servers will heading into the remainder of the weekend and on into the week.

Yes, yes, yes, that’s been regurgitated many times. Heck, even I’ve used it. But look at the data for Friday night.

The data I have available to me is from spending the entire evening bouncing back and forth between fighting JQ and SoS. Every time we started gaining ground against one, the other would start messing with us forcing us to shift focus.

Based on my evidence and direct observations, I could rightfully claim JQ and SoS was double teaming us. Fortunately, I understand the nature of this game to realize that this most likely isn’t reality.

Our glorious 80 or so ppt Friday night would tend to agree with that assessment.

Is someone from JQ seriously complaining about a double team? Really?!?!

Complaining, no. If you would be so kind as to take a moment to catch up you’ll see that.

Let’s face it… when Friday night rolled around and things reset there was apparently a coordinated 2 on 1 effort against JQ.

I am going to stop you right there without reading the rest of your nonsense. You are absolutely wrong. There was nothing mentioned about it in the pre reset meeting in our VOIP. In fact, I hear someone mention about crushing SoS repeatedly until they learn to stop back dooring us while we are fighting JQ. Not only that, as evidenced by what was going on, we SoR constantly was having to leave fighting both JQ and SoS because the other was attacking something of ours on the other side of the map.

This is in your head only and not reality. Please stop posting nonsense. It is blatantly incorrect, childish, and only makes you look silly.

I’m naturally a silly person. However, facts on the field seem to indicate that there was a coordinated, at least in spirit, effort out of the gate. I’d recommend reading the rest of the post… I can be an eloquent typist at times. This, however, may or may not have been one of those times.

I’m part of Vengeance[VNG] we’re the guild that held your keep on friday night reset. We in no way “teamed up” with SoS in fact if you were there you would know we wiped SoS as they attempted to break into your keep initially. After fighting SoS and you we left for 10 minutes came back and took your keep because you had no supply to hold it. From that point on we spent our entire time in JQ keep attacking Aldon’s Tower because it was our next target. However JQ would take it from SoS while we sieged it. Did we team up with JQ now? we were the ones sieging SoS in Aldon’s after all.

Also if you knew anything about the fights going on, we were constantly defending umberglade from SoS. We spent hours walking yaks in because SoS decided to put a few thieves to work to delay us from upgrading SM. Your reset group was just down right horrible. there was nothing else about it. we took advantage of poor team work and bad coordination to keep points on our side of the board. SoS came behind us as JQ hit their front gate.

It was very evident that we didn’t “team up” especially considering how towers were taken that night actually.

VNG? Never heard of you yet… hang on… oh, EB. I was on JQBL Friday, that’s why I didn’t see you. All I know is we looked at the EB map and it was split right down the middle like two kids with a red and blue crayon were sharing coloring one page. And stayed in the lines, didn’t fight or spill grape juice on the page. All the maps Friday night showed focused attacks on JQ. Now slow down one sec… this isn’t a whine, complaint or any of that. This is a perfectly valid and appropriate strategy, it really is. If you can coordinate two servers like that that’s actually somewhat amazing… like herding cats while getting them to walk on two legs and dance gangnam style. I’m just saying that too much energy was spent in doing so, and the fact that JQ bounced back from it so strongly after the initial Friday push had a demonstrably demoralizing effect on the other two servers. Aside from a few notable groups, such as this thing called a “Choo train” (ok, I giggled at that…) last night, it seems the overall spirit of the other servers broke down fast and early.

Nobody was 2v1ing you. Everyone in a three sided fight gets 2v1’d. It is the nature of the game and there really isn’t any point to complain about it.

Yes, yes, yes, that’s been regurgitated many times. Heck, even I’ve used it. But look at the data for Friday night. We’ll call it the illusion of a double-team… the IoaDT was there as indicated by who held what where. We were down to a low point of what… 80 or so ppt during the IoaDT phase. However, people didn’t quit, go away or any of that. At our lowest point there were queues across the maps from people waiting to get in there. I credit our resurgence from Black Friday with demoralizing the other servers enough that we actually enjoy a rare weekend that we come out of with a lead. Not one Commander gave up or let his or her people give up. This isn’t universal across the servers, not yet at least. It should be.

This was used in Warhammer and chat sure doesnt cause any lag.

Really? How do we know this isn’t a contributing factor?

You dug up a 2 year old post from a MAC user to discuss lag problems? Wow that’s a HUGE stretch.

Also warhammer’s “chat servers” are not the same as the game servers. They run independantly, I know this from playing it, and the chat servers could/would go down but you could still play the game.

I totally support the idea of Kill spam w/location and names. As well as Guild claim tags on keeps/towers/etc that you can hover over on the map so you know what’s claimed.

OK, sorry… Google pulled up a dolyak load, that was the first so I grabbed it.

Still, quick read showed people basically saying to change to other servers to escape the lag.

I actually enjoy being greatly outnumbered by jq and pushing them back. Feels more epic. Last night we held onto wood haven forever with 15 ppl in our bl against 30 and then another jq zerg joined in. We where like “how many people do you need!?” It was so much fun pushing them away and pulling back. I’m just glad they can be disorganized outside eb otherwise it would have ended real fast! Just wish Anet would reward holding on vs overwhelming odds in the future.

That’s an interesting idea. I feel like the game is built to primarily reward and push offense, but a solid defense gets a bum rap. It would be nice to see something like you describe get a little extra… but the question would be how to figure out all that and have it actually work in game.

Now, the initial post called for Kill Spam. Not “kills mentioned discretely in some remote log that most people will disable to prevent the added resource waste on their machines”, but spam. Spam is bad. This is a can best left unopened.

As long as a human can boot an NPC from the siege I like the idea of “man when out-manned”. But… there’s the potential numbers game issue if you barely have enough people to not be out-manned. Plus if you bounce above and below, that could be confusing. You also could have an issue with servers deliberately leaving the zone long enough to get the siege manned by NPCs then returning.

My guild is fine, not close to even slowing down due to culling issues.

Let’s face it… when Friday night rolled around and things reset there was apparently a coordinated 2 on 1 effort against JQ. It wasn’t hard to see… EB split right down the middle like it was drawn up on a treaty, coordinated rushes to JQ keeps by entire forces, leaving what should have been exposed back areas that both servers seemed to know were safe… the only problem with this tactic is that JQ gets more determined instead of broken. You can’t punch us in the face hard enough on day 1 to demoralize us. It’s clear, looking at the scores over time, that when that failed and we recovered it broke the will of a large number from the other servers who expended way too much out of the gate. WvW is a week long match. You should play it as such.

If it started with a subscription and a sub was always in the plans, most likely yes… even if there was I’m getting more than my money’s worth. If they added a sub after promising sub-free… that would have been a bitter pill to swallow, but even then most likely.

To anyone who wants to know, a canard is a synonym for a lie.

It’s generally used by people to mask their lack of an argument behind the pages of a thesaurus.

A canard is a belief in something that is not true — my intended meaning. If I had wanted to use the word lie or liar, I would have used it. Get a better thesaurus.

Hoist on your own canard? :P

I was going to correct you, but I’m pretty sure you’re just making a joke. A decent one too

I take certain liberties playing with the language I admit.

I’d personally fully support cosmetic mounts that moved at the same speed as a character walking… or maybe halfway between walk and run. Any speed greater than actual run speed or really any reason to have them active in WvW would cause issues, either with loading characters, culling, stealth/AoE targeting, etc.

With a reset, the three T1 servers would have been split up… one in T3, one in T4 and one in T5.

The next week would not have been fun for the other servers in T3, T4 and T5.

The thing that’s being pointed out by folk from low-pop, screwed-over servers is: it’d be better to get shafted for one week, mayhap two. HOWEVER, we’re now (sans reset) back to where servers who get population-steamrolled are catching it in the bung for MONTHS. A couple of weeks of a hopeless fight, versus months … which is more logical, and going to keep people invested in Wv3?

Solution? Fine, keep yer current maths – but take a direct hand in cases where it’s an obvious blowout. Seriously, gents – as others have said – come down to Ferg or ET for a week, then SF for a second week. At that point, Devs, you will definately see the problems of our current system. Firsthand.

Do you really think things wouldn’t ultimately settle into pretty much the same grooves they are now? With transfers locked down now by cost things will be much more stable and servers will settle into ranges appropriate for their WvW population and coverage.

There are no “pros” to implementing this. You divide the community by allowing an elitist mentality to poison the well. How I choose to gear and spec works well for me… your opinion of my gear and spec is irrelevant … as long as i’m playing alone and not in a group.

i thought i was being funny.

You didn’t do a very good job at it. I play a mesmer, and the way I choose to play my mesmer may not be cookie cutter, but I have a balanced blend of d/c/s that works well both in a solo or group setting. I never have problems completing Fractals or dungeons and have respectable WvW stats as well. I don’t need a spreadsheet to be effective.

I could care less what spec you play. As long as you don’t have MF gear to leech on the efforts of others and have decent enough agony resistance to survive in fractals. That’s pretty much my two golden rules for grouping.

Of course. I can be an elitist at times and go off on pet peeves about how rangers should have healing spring and thieves should always bring shadow refuge. But that’s not ‘get out of my group’ kick worthy.

Well hell, just ask then! I don’t sport any MF gear (I don’t consider that a part of a balanced build personally) and I’ll be happy to link the agony resist. We don’t need an inspect system added that will ultimately cause griefing.

Don’t forget… last night was drunken, naked PvP night for my guild as well. So if you thought that group running around borderlands may have looked a bit… odd… well, there you go.

With a reset, the three T1 servers would have been split up… one in T3, one in T4 and one in T5.

The next week would not have been fun for the other servers in T3, T4 and T5.

Wow. As soon as there was no reset mentioned. SoS came back with a vengeance. Too bad it’s too little, too late for this week’s match up.

Or maybe JQ knows they’ve already won err.

Could be that too.

Yeah, it appears to be… I hate it when you get that kind of lead so everyone goes on cruise control and coasts to the finish… makes it tough to enjoy the maps for a couple days. But then again, you can’t blame people either. It’s nice to catch your breath and take a little break from WvW knowing that you can do so without worrying about hurting your server.
