Miss Firesss.3704:

Thanks to the new achievement points…..sigh

And it seems we’ve probably given up for now, till reset anyways, looking at the live wvw map.

Nah, that’s just due to a coverage difference between us and the other two servers. It has been happening pretty much every day. You can also look at Kaineng’s previous matches and see their point spikes at ~6am in those too.

I’m really not so sure attack radius is a good idea on catapults. The splash on them is already pretty crazy, and increasing it would probably open up some new siege spots, just with the prerequisite of bunches of rank points.

Dovgan.8605:

Although Anvil Rock is in third place, I am extremely proud to still be a part of this server. Players that remain have shown extraordinary resilience in the face of adversity. People have started to step up and fill roles that were left void by guild transfers and I have seen very little in the way of overall negativity in the chat. All good signs that the server will recover. Reset night set us back quite a bit, but I think after the roll off we make a pretty decent match for HoD. DH, you guys just have too much player base for us to be competitive right now, maybe in the future we can bring you guys more of a fight.

I was really surprised by your low numbers at the start of the week, as were most of us on DH I believe. I’m not sure how much of it is from low morale or snowballing from reset night, but I’m really glad to hear you guys are starting to pull together. I hope you can get some better matchups that will let you get your feet back under you before we meet again.

Good fights from both of you, and gl in your next match.

Khayoss.2019:

More interested in who BP and SBI get than who we get TBH… I would be interested in seeing them vs the servers above them. I don’t think that ratings gap should be quite as big as it is.

The problem with this is that because of where the tiers break up, in order for someone from t4 to come down to t5 for a week, either SBI or BP will have to go up to t4. This will leave a weaker server in the third slot in t5, which always makes it easier for the strongest server to dominate, and they may not lose many points.

I’d still like to try it just for fun though. Bring on Kain/SBI/DH!

Congratulations on the win NSP, really well deserved.
I’m sure we’ll see a lot more of you guys, but hopefully not tonight ;P

Finally got my first one around my 2500th coffer

Flerch.4817:

And in today’s edition of forum wars, we have DH vs ….DH? Wtf?

Yay! We’re winning!

Sorry, it isn’t linked to you being logged on. I just meant that no one else will refresh it.

Sororita.3465:

-.- idc that NSP/DH sees this, yall need some learning.

And then it all despawns after you log off

T_T

I much prefer the new system as it shuffles up the matchups for fresh air.
However, I think they should compact the ratings toward 1500 and then lower the random range to make it work better.

Don’t cry!

We have another week together to say goodbye

Faux Sheaux.6179:

Psssst Darkhaven. Get your act together! Anvil rock has given up and is skirting T6 in points. We need some new opponents.

Sincerily, T5

Don’t worry, we will be seeing you soon. =P But this has been one hell of a fun matchup this week.

It’s pretty unlikely that we will be seeing them in the next couple weeks. We still have a decent gap between us and Anvil Rock. If you’re counting on the new system ANet has mentioned which should shuffle things up a bit, I think it’s just as likely for Ebay to go up as it is for us to go up, in which case we would also not see them.

Boag.8645:

Trap doesn’t prevent you from attacking / dodging / healing, just no stealth. So for 30 sec thieves have to l2p like the rest of us non-stealthers.

It prevents the thief from using some of his skills for 30s. It makes all stealth skills/utilities useless for that duration and make it impossible to land a Backstab, Tactical Strike and the like.

And stealth prevents all 8 classes from using a lot more of their skills.

You can just avoid the traps in open field fights anyway. They will only really be a problem if you are trying to permastealth to stay in a tower or sneak into a defended breach/lord room.

Dayra.7405:

So I expect the AC of the next build to do (nearly) same damage to humans, but much less (none) to other siege.

I sincerely hope they won’t remove the ability to damage siege from ACs, because they are the only really reliable way for defenders to do hit siege/golems. When there’s a zerg out there, anything close the edge will get obliterated, and they can generally place their siege where counter cats/trebs can’t hit.
Also, the ACs are an important tool the attackers can use to take out defending ACs (and to assassinate trebs).

If they just lower the siege damage to ~half, that should be still be plenty for these purposes however.

Like Forty Seven Ninjas.6982:

Holy cow we killed it on reset.

I got on like 4 hours after reset to see how bad SF was killing us and what i hear on TS is DH is leading on reset night and i was like WTF. so SF whats going on this week?

Well, what happened is that IoJ wasn’t really attacking us in our BL, and SF and IoJ were fighting eachother in IoJ BL. Because of that, we had a lot more breathing room to get supply/upgrades and handle SF better (I was in DH bl). Everyone on our map was also working really well together and our response times were the best I’ve seen from us in a while.

There could also have been less people on from SF after losing a couple weeks, but I have no idea what the numbers were like in the other maps.

Spooky Mulder.1524:

I have to assume that coverage will become even more of an issue as we climb in tier. (Otherwise I see no reason why DH is here instead of higher up the ladder, since I’ve never before seen coverage like theirs.)

Perhaps it is good that we halt our upward climb at this tier until such time as our coverage is not so much of a problem.

Absolutely. It’s actually quite funny because not long ago we were basically in the same situation you guys are in now. We moved up from t7 and would beat BP/AR at reset and then lose the lead by Monday morning and get stomped the rest of the week. And now I guess we’re the new BP of tier 6. Pretty interesting watching how servers gradually change like this.

bellrang.1628:

Man DH, This is the resort of after getting wiped by DR.

Nice superior tactics and skills.

First AC zoom bug, and a invulnerable catapult built at your spawn.

That was us that built that catapult, but as far as I know it can be destroyed there. None of you came over to hit it while I was there though, so I can’t confirm.

I don’t know what you guys are talking about. IoJ was attacking us all of last night.
Also, it’s pretty silly to think that any of our servers are coordinated enough to focus on just one opposing server.

CrazyCanuck.4265:

hyjaxxx.1584:

gab..you diddnt beat us this past reset night.

Clearly we didnt. This is 4.5 hours into last reset, after we lost most of our numbers and starting losing all the points we controlled for the first 3 hours. Admittedly last week’s reset was one of the worst showings as far as numbers we’ve had in months (had outmanned buff for a good amount in EB). The week before it took over 7 hours for us to lose the point advantage we got during reset. (I have screens of that too, so please don’t try and flame it)

I don’t know what time zone you are in, but this screenshot clearly is not 4.5 hours after reset. There have been about 8000 points scored total. With 2780 scored per hour just from ticks plus the extra yak/sentry points, this screen had to be taken 2.5-3 hours after reset. This is still during prime time and actually shows DH with a huge PPT lead.

Also, the way DR got ahead at the start was taking over IOJ territory. Meanwhile, IOJ had their zerg in DH bl. So… DR playing for second?

However, I do remember DR doing better than this in the previous resets, but I don’t remember specific points.

Below you can see the difference between normal and SAB zoom around the spot shown in the previous screenshots. It looks like it would hard to hit that spot on the stairs, but probably possible. I also am not sure how different it can be with different resolutions for gw2.

I don’t know if it’s been fixed in the last few days or not, but there was a bug you could pretty easily replicate in SAB to keep your camera zoomed out (like in the toad fight). I think that would be enough to see inside the wall, and people could be abusing it.

If this is what it is, I really hope it gets fixed soon so we stop seeing so much of this =\

Okaishi.8320:

My fps actually seem to be higher after the patch.

This has been my experience as well.
My computer is 6 years old (e6600/8800GTS) and performance has been noticeably better on the low setting.

Best reputation for what?
Because your question is very vague.

Set server ratings to:
1500+((Current Rating – 1500)*0.5)

This will help fix the ratings problems/gaps caused by mass transfers while keeping our tiers and of course avoiding several rounds of blowouts. The 0.5 can of course be changed to whatever ANet thinks will work best.

Please.
