Guild Wars 2

Weekend rehash.

Friday: NSP showed up
Saturday: NSP kinda showed up
Sunday: NSP forgot to show up

And shockingly the overall score is 100% reflective of this. Here’s to a better week, at NSP we love digging ourselves into a hole.

PvE tears, soon to be enhanced when the jp becomes a combat pit.

T7, closest tier, most flexibility.

It’s worth mentioning that NSP also has a super strong PVE community, probably the biggest in NA outside of TC. Tons of ppl guest to our server for Orr temple runs.

This is not a joke. Nightly, very organized, temple runs that happen like clockwork. Only downside is that guesting has been known to cause the map to go into overflow, and the boss fights tend to drop high end computers to 4fps.

5pm – 7pm server daily like clockwork.

Lots of flexibility on what you want to do in WvW. Solo, duo, group, zerg. Its always present. You also, depending on your play times, get to learn very fast how to firefight on multiple maps with minimal coverage. Depending on what is needed, I run my commander toon for guild and zergish work (usually involving multiple guilds and coordinated over the server TS or vent (there are both available) or swap to alts for small group work . I welcome another small group – we are the most effective when we can hit multiple maps at once and this is only possible because of our dedicated small group community.

Too much drama all up in here. Forum warriors don’t drop bags.

@airstu: I don’t see [Lost] folks post in the match-up threads too often, but I had a most enjoyable 10-minute fight with one of your camp capping groups late last night at Arah’s. Much respect, from that RH pistol thief doing all the Jackie Chan flips.

Yea, that was me on an alt with a buddy, both testing some new builds (I’m not counting the one who dropped immediately, he was there working on his gift of battle). That was an enjoyable fight, dealing with you and all of the camp vets really gave the set-up an nice break in and caused a few choice words to be uttered on vent. Will have to try it again. Thats the kind of fight that makes this tier really fun.

Our night crew worked very hard for everyone of them points.

Well, yes, doors can be difficult.

Oh you mean like GoM and HoD constantly playing for seconds, and then combining their WvW guilds AFTER the organised** teamup fiasco backfired and sent pretty much both server into t8?

This post is stupid on many levels.

Firstly, GoM and HoD never played for seconds in our matchup, nor did they ‘team’ up for anymore than a couple of hours.

Secondly, even if it did happen, ‘teaming up’ and ‘playing for second’ are mutually exclusive concepts.

Thirdly, in the five weeks of our matchup, GoM and HoD won two weeks and NSP only won one, so even if we were playing for second we were so terrible at it that NSP somehow ended up second 4 weeks out of 5. GoM and HoD playing for second would ensure NSPs victory, GoM and HoD teaming up would ensure NSP being in third, both basically the opposite of what actually happened.

Fourthly, HoD and GoM in no way combined WvW guilds. One single guild leader made a conscious decision on their own to transfer off, and did not even take their entire guild with them and did not combine with any GoM guild.

Finally, both the servers being sent to T8 wouldn’t be attributed to that either. GoM dropped because of the sudden rating shift and that they were ‘busy’ with other things (which they bounced back from) and HoD dropped because said above guild had already stopped contributing, removing a chunk of our playerbase.

Sorry, nice try. Enjoy T8.

Looking forward to a sea of blue from the night crew. The evening crew is already doing its thing.

Fantastic no show by NSP this weekend. Hope people remember how to log in during the week.

This tier should be reasonably stable for a while, unless someone above tanks, ratings will stabilize and lock in the tier. Only thing from making it a true play up to the last second challenge is GoM’s overnight crew – one night of unopposed capping created that lead.

Jscull.2514:

Were in t8 not dealing with overconfident zerging “all stars”

No one cares. Have fun buried forever in t8 and away from our forums.

Good commanders are able to herd those cats well, and know when to hold up, and get that cat herd in shape without being suppressed for channel usage.

If a leader is leading his troops over a cliff the guys around him will warn him and he will make his troops turn around.

You have to gather them, feed them victories and keep them entertained while also maintaining your goals – be that expansion or fortifying what you have etc.

Awww cute, I was wondering when some trolling rager madness would strike as it has been uncharacteristically civil for a match thread. Should’ve pegged you guys would’ve missed us enough to pop in <333.

Miss? No. We just know we will see you again. Just awaiting when the return journey will begin. I’m betting on a DR repeat as you have nowhere near the numbers or skills of Kain (who have now just started their return journey)

Detharos.3157:

Sorrow’s Furnace will just keep doing its thing like it always has.

Pushing 1 and exclaiming their success is because of superior skills instead of overwhelming numbers.

frostshade.3617:

So what’s this rumor I hear about account bound seige next patch

Its anets gift to us. Since Paxa is falling out or our thread, they will be able to divert the mod team back to their original coding jobs.

Unless HoD pulls off a last second miracle, DR/NSP/GoM is looking like our weeks entertainment. Can remember last time I’ve seen 2/3 of a tier replaced.

So when does SF annex HoD’s BL to draw close to +500 ppt, take advantage of their tactical withdrawal from WvW. We know you can do it. Go get that 11 points.

Bones.5762:

i think i might xfer over to SF since u guys will be moving up a tier maybe in a week or two at ur rate. ill consider it, im also NA primetime, usually around 6-midnight CST

So really its a T6 question since your joining the zergball.

Oh and btw SF, you are only 11 points out of T6.

Its all good, PAXA has a master plan to join all the other roamers in a land of happy free roaming where no-one ever can count past 5. They will be missed…by our thread’s post count.

Wat? Is PAXA leaving? I heard WvW went down to GoM as well. What’s with all the transfers lately.

PAXA is on HoD, so when HoD goes down to T8, they will leave T7. They are not transferring to GoM.

Very true, otherwise they would end up wiping to Toble again in a few weeks.

Doing productive work in WvW is optional in T8, thus the PAXA appeal.

Isaac.6041:

RISE joined Kaineng right before free transfers ended. So this was when Kaineng was in tier 5 moving up to tier 4.

So one of the last to join the bandwagon (once it was really rolling) and one of the first to leap off. gg

So where is paxa transferring to anyways? GoM or IoJ? Or will we be all be lucky and get a break from paxa zergs when HoD drops to T8?

Bllade.1029:

I agree with all of that, that wasn’t the point. Point is, keep your egos to yourself. Go up to Tier 1 or 2 and put any of our guys in this tier against a guild full of Russians who play WvW like its a job and I just about guarantee you they will make your guild look like a bunch of kids licking windows.

Perspective. You’re not as great as you think you are. Get rid of the egos.

You must be new to forums.

Also, tier does not equal skill. Tier = numbers and general knowledge. The average player on the higher tiers knows more about things like stacking and veiling (for example) because the have more of an opportunity to see it because there are more people playing and utilizing tactics dictated by the numbers of players. If your biggest zerg is 20, no one will know about orange swords. If your biggest team is 5 players, the AoE limit will never effect you.

For skill, if its omg mad pvp skillz – well, according to the leaderboards, AR is the most skilled server for PvP and in last on T5. If its pressing 1, then well, everyone wins! If its small man groups – XOXO, Split, SPCA, that HoD small man that argues with everyone – well, they may not share your opinion.

Perspective. It always changes depending on where you are standing. Just keep pretending you’re standing on the high ground.

lunyboy.8672:

How is it that you aren’t being targeted as aggressively as we are anyway?

See the above posts/pictures for your answer.

Wow, no culling in your LA. Can barely see any models at more than 10 ft in any direction in NSP LA by the bank. NSP AFKers win!

Darek.1836:

All they really need to do is increase the volitility to the servers that are locked into matches. It’s honestly not that difficult.

Agreed. Even after a nudge to T8 from Anet, the rankings have once again begun to stagnate. Movement is now going to happen over months if it happens at all.

Jace.6973:

We fortified the HoD bay last night. But big shout out to Calisto and the [lost] crew. They helped us throughout the whole 5 hours+

Ty MoB for providing a nice safe work environment for everyone on Sunday. In no particular order I saw TFG, HOES, Os, XOXO, SPCA, NSP, bots, KOTR (appologies if I forgot anyone) all relaxing and trying their hand at farming badges and wxp, including one fairly epic hills defense. Love it when the server works together – doesn’t hurt our PPT either.

Sevenred.3890:

Holy cow!
Makes me wonder how good we’d be if we actually brought the battles to the other servers instead of within ourselves. I’m glad this game has no friendly fire…

Shelly.3749:

Sorry airstu everyone didn’t get what they wanted. having to wait til 2am my time for reset and then only being able to play for maybe and hour was ridiculous. Last week it was changed and reset for me was midnight, not perfect but I thought It was a happy medium and there was sometime at reset for everyone. Now as I understand it because im on an American server my reset time is even worse than before and is now 3am??

The masses of West Coast NA players that never get to play on reset (esp last week) because we have to work are happy. You chose to join a NA server. We have to work.

Wow, everyone got what they wanted and still people QQ.

BlazeQ.1095:

anthsss.1564:

To keep this post on topic, can we get a score update?

I second the request.

Bonus points if someone posts it in the form of an answer.

Oh and speaking of work, someone go tell DH to step their game up. They are ruining it for everyone.

Toble.2968:

airstu.2579:

Well played Anths, though for the sake of not having NSP melt down I will point out that is a screen form when they left for Yaks way back.

You ruined it…

Too many pms to answer if I didn’t. It was resembling work.

Ping.5739:

Yeah I a pug.

Kinda proved that when you called out one of the guilds that actually upgrades, builds siege, defends, runs supplies and (gasp) buffs keeps/towers etc. Hate to wreck your day, but the wolf will be back on the keep.

I don’t know the mechanics well enough to cover the math of scaling – I’m thinking the most important part to leveling is the ability to wear better gear, while the stats may scale, you are still going to be penalized by not having max gear. Except in extreme circumstances, you are generally not 1-shotting a lv 80 in max gear. Up-levels get exploded all the time.

From the wiki

“In WvW, characters will have their effective level boosted to 80 but do not receive any new abilities or gear, and experience must still be gained to unlock them. Therefore, higher level characters will still be more powerful than lower level characters, despite both having the same effective level. Levels gained in WvW are kept and a player may level to the maximum 80 entirely within WvW.”

I believe that means your stats and skills are up-scaled to lv80 stats (abilities, health, etc) however your gear stays at the current level you are wearing – unlike sPvP where all gear is max gear. In a nutshell, while you can function in WvW, you are extremely squishy esp compared to a lv 80 in exotics and ascended gear.

People told me to move to gom. I will. I’m sick of the kitten from hod, NSP, and sf.

Halp? Pm me in game or something I’m serious. I’m so bored in wvw it isn’t even funny. At least when we had gom things were interesting.

Really? From reading all the drama on T7 thread I do not think I saw anything from an SF players saying something about you. At least it proves that you are just trying to create drama wherever you go. I was giving you the benefit of a doubt because I only read the threads. But if you are trying to blame any of that on SF you are just proving what a tool you are.

Anyone who is thinking of paying this toon to move to your server, please go read the T7 thread from the last two days or so. Know what you are getting yourself into before you agree to take this one in.

I see. Thank you for bringing this to light. Seems I have some reading to do.

Shes a perfect fit for TCMM

I wouldn’t bother letting a pug under your skin Sev. Someone who’s afraid to say who they are in their sig isn’t worth acknowledging.

Do your daily in the 60 min, make some gold, transfer to a lower tier, never clog up the internets with que qq again.

LOL SF roaming, gr8 joke

Lol, inoryte? That would be like NSP zerging, unhead of.

wtf are you talking about nsp zergs…. no one said they didn’t

sf doesn’t roam tho

NSP zergs – it allows the roamers to get their work done undisturbed. Coordination ftw.

dank.3680:

How bout you take your numbers – get them motivated, and use them to GTFO of our tier so we can go back to balanced matches.. kthnxbb

40k leads aren’t cutting it, how bout YOU bring it…

Get out of the tier and bring it, lol. Kind of an oxymoronic statement. I think it’s funny how NSP/HoD loves to tell us how bad we will fare in further tiers, yet wants us to leave as soon as possible.

Your only winning because of numbers. You can barely get a 40-50k lead while out populating 2 servers combined. Unfortunately, those numbers mean you will have green reserved until you have scraped together enough points to enter T6. Which also means we have to put up with your sea of numbers until then. Good thing for the most part your warriors quit by Monday, it makes the weekdays playable.

pulsecodesgnl.3470:

No coverage gap capping doesn’t really count as bringing it, since there’s really not much we can do about that other than spam recruitment. Grats on the accomplishment though, just would be nice if it was actually providing a challenge to the core in some way.

Good luck doing anything in the higher tiers if you can’t prevent little tiny NSP from rolling during the week. You roll huge numbers for about a 1/3 of the day and then check out. If your numbers get bored and lose interest winning, I can imagine how vacant WvW will look when you get stomped by someone.

King Amadaeus.8619:

I challenge NSP/HOD to bring it this week

Does the all red EB 2 hours ago (when I left for work) with 4 WPs up count as bringing it? Hell of a coverage gap for the mighty SF.

vitali.1609:

How many players are allowed in each WvW map per server?

2 paxa, 5 XOXO, >9000 SF.
