wall of text I made the mistake of reading

Are you seriously looking for roamers on their home BL? The place where they have to spend the most time just running from spawn to a place where roamers usually roam? The place that’s usually being karma-trained by two unfriendly blobs?

Try some common sense next time.

Solstice.1097:

It seems based on populations that almost everyone would win with 4 leagues in NA.

Diamond – BG/JQ/SoR
Gold – TC/Mag/SoS/FA/SBI/YB
Silver – DB, BP, Ebay, CD, NSP, HoD
Bronze – IoJ, SF, DH, FC, GoM, DR, KN, ET, AR

Switch SoR with TC – SoR is definitely not fit for Diamond league since they broke apart.

stuff

It’s really fun when you see a match between [sports team 1 consisting of 48 players] and [sports team 2 fielding 12] – please go one!

That was just another slap in the face – they changed the supply achievement down to 10 so when you look at it it feels like you achieved nothing at all…

But that would hurt warriors – the only real class everybody should play all the time!

Threads like this always make me smile and remember the good ole days of kites in the JP

If you still see adds on the internet, you’re doing it wrong.

/me claims camp, giving everybody increased chance to gather more strawberries

Luthan.5236:

How long is the internal CD on the 6th rune effect? Seems strong if the internal CD was too low. If not the runes seem okay. Should be at least 30 seconds internal cd(3 times the duration like with skill 4 where it already is mentioned).

If you’re actually asking, the ICD on the 6th effect is inexistant – spam away.

Tipsy ideas:

Claiming a camp costs the guild 100 influence.
The guild then gets 1 influence per supply taken from that camp.

Claiming a structure costs x
The guild then gets y influence per enemy killed within the buff range.

Upgrading and defending structures should give rewards. Holding upgraded structures should give more “points”. Taking upgraded structures should be more rewarding than taking paper structures.
In general there should be more incentive to go to places where the enemy is – wxp did the complete opposite.

PS:

Come to t1. Most towers and keeps are all fully upgraded, scouted and filled with superior siege. Commanders drop offensive pushes for defense all the time, because holding upgraded structures is far more important. 2v1’s are common, because that’s what it takes to flip an upgraded keep with a waypoint and a map-zerg inside.

All that said, the league is killing us. The matchups pre-season 1 were great, intense and ppt/fight driven. Now, boredom.

What you wrote there is not true – but good luck recruiting more queuelings.

Lowering map caps (I don’t know exactly by how much – let’s say 20%) would solve the worst problems :

*Skill lag (yes T1 servers I know there’s no such thing) would be greatly reduced.
*Longer queues would provide more incentive to move to servers with a smaller population

Off-peak capping might still be a problem but defending while outnumbered 4:1 is definitely better than 5:1

ITS SUPPOSED TO TRICK YOU!!!

Thats the biggest bullkitten ive heard so far ….

Please explain to me why my character is able to distinguish every other enemy spell from friendly spells, including other mesmer spells like nullfield by the red outline(which clearly should “trick me” because mesmers, right ?! ).

I’m sure you never tried to run through a sectral wall and got feared instead of protected

I have informed the proper instances of those transgressions.
Please provide names and screenshots for proof of those Maguumans showing “class” so we can troll them off our server immediately in order to restore our horrible reputation.

Thanks in advance.

nirvana.8245:

I suspect and hope that guilds reconsider their servers after this. I play on Blackgate and I am losing motivation to play the game. I logon to a 500PPT tick and 60k lead. Nothing to fight for. Hard to find fights. Im told to be patient, that when we face Jade Quarry I will get a fight. But I have to put up with weeks of nothing before I get that. The WvW mode is in a sad state right now. The so called “Tier 1 servers” need to destack so we can all get a fight and a balanced one at that. I will probably leave my server at the end of season 1. I hope others do too tbh.

Where are you moving?

Maybe something between your screen and your fingers is just too slow to notice the skill lag.

You mean the top 4

I think that’s a BAZINGA!

Nickthemoonwolf.1485:

Actually stacking more regularly against their group was a terrible idea. They were running zerker eles that hit like 6k on meteor storm. I’d like to say our group started to counter them pretty hard. Still unbeatable in a choke point though.

I love the facial expression I immagine when I think of somebody realizing how terrible that idea was.

That was awfully complicated… This came to mind when I read your post:

mag #1 most hated server lets b real

Sorry, that would be SoR, by a LONG shot.

Haven’t played SoR in awhile, but I find it hard to picture a server worse then JQ and TC.

Well just imagine an 80 man zerg chasing down one upleveled roamer in the open field far away from any objectives, slaughtering him with spam, then doing /sit on his face having all 80 people spam /laugh in chat then bragging about it on the forums. That’s SoR’s idea of a good fight. And yes this really happens.

I like them already!

I really wish we had made it into Silver League :-(

RUN! Run as fast as you can!

Beorn Saxon.4762:

Violent Resolution [VR] from Mag is on MagBL tonight and they have a spy on TC.

I won’t mention the characters name, but here are screens of him repping VR while running in our zerg. And so far we have been jumped by the [VR] guild/zerg on MagBL twice.

Come on folks, play nice pls. Spying is just low and ruins your guild reputation if you must resort to such things.

If anyone from VR wants to pm me I can let you know who it was.

…certainly not the person you called target on…

tl;dr version
Something like that buff could be used to slow down karma trains and make it more profitable to act in several smaller groups.

1. No. I’m not posting in the wrong forum.

3. Please implement something similar to WvWvW!

• Calculate (or ask the players) how much time it takes 20 decently geared and skillful people to take over a structure.
• Add a buff to the structure (like a claim buff) that appears 10 seconds before that period of time passes.
• Give people extra [loot / wxp / karma / whatever] for taking structures that have the buff

2. I tried to get this achievement in PvE – it’s annoying, 25 are too much, yadda, yadda, yadda

This would give people an incentive to do stuff in smaller groups instead of huge zergs, it would make it easier to defend and hold structures and last but not least it would really make people collaborate with each other in smaller groups.

Of course, this is just a sketch of an idea, all the timings were pulled out of …thin air. But sitting on a rock – waiting to call out a champion in map chat because it didn’t have the buff yet made me think, this was something wvw needed.

thefreezingvoid.8516:

Most of my guild on JQ have decided to take the week off.
Between long broken queue system, the non stop karma farms, and the players that run when a fight starts, and huge ppt lead causing no extra insentive to continue playing, this week is just no fun.

My hopes is a solution to the queue system is found quickly, and most of the AC hunters get their AC’s and head back to pve lands, or at the very least learn how to follow the commander when things deviate from PvD

Sounds like you got your behinds kicked a few times too many. As for a “solution to the queue system” – just move to a server that isn’t full to the brim.

*Base transfer prices on average queue length
*Add queue length on your current server and on 5 different servers to the queue popup:

“You queue will pop in 5 minutes
Queues on other servers:
JQ 4hrs
SBI 2hrs
[…]
Vabbi 0min”
You could even add a direct transfer option

nope… no surprises

I don’t see the problem – just spend 5 minutes gathering for the daily and you’re in.

edit oh – you might be on a broken server

I’m really looking forward to fighting the other “tier 1” servers – I hope they’re just as special, unique and wonderful as JQ.

Please always remember the words of your mothers: when the mean people tell you you’re bad, they’re just jealous!

Please rage-quit more.

Welcome to Mag! Sorry for the mumble channel invasion but you’re the first transfer in that time-slot and therefor we all had to take a look and err… hear. I hope our week-end crew and the achievement-hunters didn’t leave too much of a bad impression.

d-e/r-p – blobbiest guild NA!

I love the honeybadger attitude of SoS & Mag. <3 from a former SoS bandwagoner

“honeybadger attitude” – I’d love it if I could be bothered to give a kitten about anything!

(And you guys would’ve been stuck with Maguuma, and trust me, they’re way worse. They’re the only gold league server that can legitimately claim to have skill over numbers.)

You take that back immediately and call us a mindless zerg blob server of doom!

You guys have yet to appreciate how royally screwed you’re going to be weeks 2~6. I’m glad to be down here in silver. =)

~ Kovu

Actually, we’ve been working our kitten off to get screwed like that… We PPTd so hard, we’re all suffering from PPPTSD and a few of us kept on PPTing til Wednesday this week.
On the bright side: our population has already gone from very high to high and the cleansing continues – the only thing that would have made gold league better would have been a Mag – SoR – BG matchup in the first week.

I would have shrugged this off as a decent troll but coming from an NSP player makes the “suggestion” scary… be careful which ideas you ascend to the devs!

Tallis.5607:

I don’t want to insult anyone here, but as TCer playing against Maguuma & SoS now, I fear that the next 6 weeks are going to be hell for these servers.

These two servers are gonne get BUTCHERED when they got to play against a T1 server.

And against TWO T1 servers… I am lacking the words to describe what that will be like for them… Unless those T1 servers show mercy on them, they won’t even hold their own garrison in NA prime, me think.

I don’t think Bioware thought this league-thing trough, to be honest.

/me shakes fist at Bioware

I totally reported both of you for character assassination!

The queues are getting out of hand – today I had to wait 5 minutes to go from EBG to MagBL!
QQQQQ <— that’s one Q per minute!

Meanwhile Mag’s perspective: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pipTwjwrQYQ

You should probably move to a different server – check http://gw2stats.net/wvw/live_map/ to see who actually holds their structures

Join us in gold league – get your kitten kicked with us!

PPT-play was a means to get into gold league. It’s completely irrelevant again now that we made it – just as it was irrelevant before the announcement of 6-slot gold league.

Hexin.5603:

Congrats Mags – we we’re all talking about it last night. Knew SBI would willingly step back. Just another joke, but for a server to push as hard as they could … to get in, that’s a bloody reward on its own. May my body drop one of ya a precursor in the nerxt 7 weeks

Plenty of GvG’s to be had now and can’t wait to see you guys again.

RIP saiyr – permabanned for saying the wrong thing too many times

Amurond.4590:

SBI are pro forum posters. Each one of our match threads have had the highest post counts for the last few weeks. We are winning the forums. Our forum ppt is ticking high. I like to think I contribute my part.

pah… get your 1000 posts and we can start talking

I’m kitten (my behind is in pain, stupid filter) – literally. I guess I need a different chair if we ever have to tryhard like that again.

I wanted to make a little test with a picture of a gate on the left and a zerg on the right, two check-boxes and the caption “Please mark the zerg” but all the PPTing has made me too tired.

They enjoy it so much, they’re preparing for 7 weeks of PvD…
