Guild Wars 2

There’s already an auto-boot in place for those who sit AFK for 10 minutes. As for those standing around and shooting the proverbial kitten, I’m not sure what they could do. Participation in WvW sometimes involves standing watch at a supply camp, and then seeing no action at all for 15 minutes. I’ve been there before.

While siege is pretty much a guaranteed “keep the other servers down” tool, it’s also just about as overkill as having 15-20 people camping the puzzle. Good job on keeping the other two servers from getting more blueprints, but I have to break it to you; you’re likely tying up more resources in the puzzle than you’re keeping from the opposing servers. Your numbers and siege equipment would probably be put to better use in the real battle (Borderlands, EB). Anyone who griefs the puzzle with siege equipment and 15-20 players isn’t there strategically; they’re there because it’s fun to destroy other players that are too preoccupied trying to jump up the little ledges.

Nabrok.9023:

If there is an advantage to being green, it could only be in EB as the other 3 maps are identical. I don’t think a small advantage in one map would account for this, so it’s just that green is the highest ranked of the three servers at the beginning of the match.

You’re absolutely right, and that is what I meant when I said that they are green because they are on top; they’re not on top because they were fortunate to get the “best” color, because if anything, green is “supposedly” at a slight terrain disadvantage (Thanks for pointing it out that this is only the case in EB; I forgot to add that bit).

Sir William PD.9615:

No screen shot but the current score of Sorrow’s Furnace/Darkhaven/Sanctum of Rall

SF 179567 +240,
DH 174104 +215,
SoH 164504 +245

Ooh, DH is catching up. This could be a nailbiter. I was wondering about the scores in this match-up. Thanks for the update.

The highest-ranking server does get green, and the lowest-ranking server gets red. Supposedly there are also slight disadvantages in terrain that come with being green, while red supposedly gets slight advantages.

It is interesting that green seems to most often be on top. I’d like to postulate that maybe instead of being on top because they are green, maybe they are green because they have the greatest potential to begin with during these matches.

Either that, or maybe there’s an overlooked benefit of being green, or maybe it is sheer coincidence.

The players on the server with the lowest score should all get blue turtle shells.

Something I’ve wondered for a while…

For those spells of ours that afflict random conditions (Winds of Chaos, Chaos Armor, Chaos Storm, etc.), what happens if an enemy is immune to a particular condition? Is the condition that is to be applied determined before or after the immunity is checked?

For example, dredge are immune to blind. Say I have Chaos Armor up and a dredge hits me. Will blind be removed from the pool of random conditions, or will it have a chance to attempt to inflict blindness and then fail?

I thought about this, but I came to the conclusion that having 3-day cycles would skew the rankings more, being that some of these cycles would partially be on weekends, some would be entirely weekends, and some would be all weekdays. As much as population varies based upon the time of day, it also varies more based upon the day of the week.

For example, in the current matchup between Sorrows Furnace, Sanctum of Rall, and Darkhaven, SF was better able to hold over the weekend and get a healthy lead. Now that the work/school week has begun it seems that SF’s potential points have been leveling out closer to those of DH and SoR during the day. DH seems to usually be on top during the nights, and the pp totals between SF and SoR are at a constant interchange during the day.

I saw an enemy veteran respawn over and over in Askalion Hills last night. The guards just kept killing him.

Thanks. I informed my guild and we’ll be waiting to hear about the meeting. Feel free to /w me or Rexarius Ventarel (guild leader) anytime in game if you want to talk or need help in WvW in the meantime. I am usually on in the evening, after 5PM EST.

I am an officer of a small guild called Ours is the Fury [FURY]. We have a small presence in WvW (five or so folks so far) and a great interest in helping our server organize into more than a mindless zerg. I’m sure my guildmates would be just as interested as I am in seeing what your coalition may have to offer.

Pavor Ligneum / Vacks.6459, lvl 80 mesmer
Ours is the Fury[FURY]

Being a mesmer that on average probably gets stuck underground about once every two hours of gameplay, I’d say that the player did it on accident and probably was just as frustrated as you were about the situation.

I get stuck in terrain all the time in this game, and not just from the mesmer skill bugs. I once got stuck inside a supply crate at a camp because another player knocked me down into it. I could have gotten away from the enemy zerg easily, but when I stood up I simply couldn’t go anywhere.

I also netted about 2g in a few hours of WvW last night and I probably died about 5 times. It’s true; the trick is to know how to choose your battles. Not only will it save your bank, but it will also save you the wasted time running back when you’re needed where you actually can make the difference. Know when a point is lost, and know when to fall back and regroup.

I can’t even get the NPCs to go forward. They’re just standing around just outside the tomb with their thumbs up their bums.

The drapes don’t necessarily have to match the curtains, do they?

But drapes are curtains, silly.

The big wall on the east side of Caledon Forest. The one that marks the Dominion of Winds.

You… might wanna get yourself checked out. I just got tested and… I have the ’mites. :-(

Where all the single lettuce at?

Man, at what time did you take that screenshot? I’m on SF and that pie chart is depressing to see. It looked like we had a good share of territory when I logged off last night.

I once rolled by a non-aggressive moa while out of combat and without a target and it created a clone who then proceeded to pick a fight with said moa.
