tl;dr Just run with a big WxP train. The bigger, the better for your WxP progression.
Remember, just RUN with them.
Do nothing else, except pressing 1 & 6 during battles and stopping when the WxP train stops for capping stuffs inside that circle~

Note: If the WxP trains in your server don’t satisfy you enough, or if your server doesn’t have big WxP trains, feel free to transfer to another server that has better and bigger WxP trains.

I tend to go solo to take out sentries, run supplies to repair stuffs and, sometimes, attempt to solo camps~
I still enjoy WvW despite getting zerg-ed/WxP train-ed a few times lol

I join the zerg during certain situations only ^-^

Thank you for the time change for NA server. That will allow more West Coasters to get ready for the reset ^-^

Reset in 2 hours.
GLHF, everyone.

Please don’t cat fight too much.
Let’s keep this topic alive ’til reset next week.

Well, some of the thief players, who rely so much on those culling effect, have rage quit GW2 lol

Inprognito.9487:

I’ve definitely noticed this, the ones that remain though tend to be pretty scary.

^ This. The ones that remain are the decent ones, not the ones abusing stealth + culling.

I’ll donate as well this Sunday, but via a different organization that I’ve trusted since I’ve seen it myself that the leader of that organization came to help and brought helps directly to the affected location during hurricane Katrina.

Karykarywook.2481:

This is why I love FA. Great idea.

Same here.
Great idea, guys ^-^

Katzyn.9703:

I hear a lot of people complaining about T1 skill lag (and lag in general), as well as loooooong queues…

Ikr, Kat.

Speaking about queues on T1 during reset, I think the OP needs to see the funny rant topic about the looooooong queues on T1

If you really wanna go back to T1, you can always give your old server (JQ) a try again.
For comparison, it’s best to go to their community site and see how their community is like. Also, ask around people there with whatever questions you have for those servers.

But, if you decide to transfer someday, it’s better to transfer to lower-tiered (T4 or below) server.

Ehmry Bay: Noice, Goldiy, Adama, Drezdan, Idi, and some other commanders I knew who already transferred to Mag & FA. In shorts, too many to list.

Haldunius.7864:

BTW – I think you guys on Mag caused TC permanent emotional trauma on there last visit to T3. It’s pretty funny to see.

Yea, lol.

But, some Mags got lured to TC and have vacation there. =(
Let’s hope that saiyr can lure them back to Mag~

Vera Minerva.1739:

Is the Wurm up?

Is the Grub up?

All those big battles from the Umberglade battle to the battles for protecting the keep from omega golem rushes on EBG really have increased my adrenaline level.

Now, I dunno if I can go to sleep well x.X;;;

saiyr.3071:

Come back to us Laii~

Bring her back to Mag, saiyr.
You can do it!

Only in Mag, you can be a dwarf and also a Great Lord Flame Ram worshiper.
Go go go, join Mag!

Wait, what?
I thought Mag doesn’t want people to transfer to their server.

But +1 for cool recruitment topic lol

To anyone from Mag, is [STRM] still in Mag?
Also, is [STRM] = Stormborn? I don’t remember the name of the guild exactly xD

Mind if I ask why you wanted us? >.>

Oooh, someone from [STRM] was killing a flag Veteran NPC with me this afternoon.
I PM-ed him, asking if his guild is made by Icer, but he logged off too soon =(
That’s why I asked here xD

But apparently, that [STRM] guild is not your guild ^^;;;

Icer is guild leader (I think) of STRM.

Yea, but the [STRM] I saw was not Icer’s guild ^^;;;

It was Stormborn/Stromborn, if I recall correctly, not Stromgarde like saiyr said. ^-^

Ooo, okies.
Thankies for the fast reply, saiyr ^^

DevonCarver.5370:

Agreed. We need to figure out how we want to handle this, however, so I can’t say when we’ll do something about it or what the nature of the solution will be.

Put a mini pet in the store that sells for 2k gems. This mini pet picks up all your bags automagically. You would have a gold mine with this.

2k is too much xD

But if they do implement a mini pet that can pick up all my bags automagically, I’d like that mini pet to be in a form of a Poring or any Poring family (Drops, Poporing, Marin, Angeling, Deviling, Arc Angeling, etc).

After the patch, in every tier, people tend to join the zerg more for the sake of leveling their rank because zerging from one objective to another objective (WxP zergball train) is the best way to increase your rank quickly.

Look at how much WxP gotten from capping keeps and SMC, plus the WxP obtained from zerg vs zerg battle.

If you tend to run solo or join a small group (less than 5) capping camps like what I tend to do, you won’t get Major rank (lvl 70-79 rank) by now.
If you roll with the WxP zergball train every day since the first day they introduced the WxP, you will get, at least, Major rank by now.

SquirtyMagoo.8321:

Jang Gun left WM to persue a career in K-pop is what I heard…

Omg, lol. That made my day.
I wonder if he will also get plastic surgery to make his face oh-so-smooth and cute.

I hope he will let us know when his first album is out~ xDD

Laii.2780:

crystalpink.2487:

Yup, it’s illusion.
That one, I had a chance to check the guild name coz they were on top of the bay wall, still alive, whereas the darp one was already dead on the ground when I saw him/her xD

Oh thas me~
I’m taking a vacation to the Garnished Toast, I hear the Dolyak Parades are great this time of year<3

Oh, okies.
Enjoy your vacation ^^

saiyr.3071:

crystalpink.2487:

Oh I see.
I was thinking saiyr and his crew moved to TC coz I only remember the guild tag, not the name. xD
Tbh, I was kinda excited ;3

How about iLL? Coz I saw about 2-3 iLL on TC.

Hehehe my crew…

If the iLL isn’t Illusion then it’s not them. Otherwise I have no idea.

Hmm, did some Mag guilds transfer to TC?
I saw one [D_E_R_P] (gah, I had to add the underscores or else it will translated into kitten…) and some [iLL]s earlier on TC.

inb4 they change the colors from green-blue-red into pink-purple-cyan

Yea, the monthly for this month is a lot better for full-time WvW-ers.

Hexin.5603:

And what of the blue vista just in the courtyard? Not exactly friendly to the vertically challenged.

That one is not a problem for vertically-challenged person.

The one on EBG green keep can totally make vertically-challenged person give up trying after too many falls from those narrow wooden stairs at the top.

Hence, some of them asked for kind mesmers to port them to that vista, and some others just walk away, tired of trying & falling.

Green side is unbalanced as well because the green keep has the most challenging vista point out of all the vista points on EBG.
I’ve witnessed some people asking for ports just to get to that vista.

Please make keep vista points more balanced for all sides.
/nods sagely

Omg, roflmao at my own answers for that quiz xDDD

Jayne.9251:

1. Name your favourite colour. Use four words (can’t be nouns) to describe this colour.
2. Name your favourite animal. Use four words (no nouns) to describe this animal.
3. Name your favourite food. Use four words (you guessed it, no nouns) to describe this food.
4. You’re swimming in the ocean and you see an island. What do you do?

Even though the quiz is over, here’s mine:
1. Feminine, lovely, Aerith/Serah/Lightning, cute. (Answer: Pink)
2. Fluffy, cute, naughty, attention-seeking/spoiled. (Answer: Bunny/Cat)
3. Black-brownish, beefy, savory, soupy. (Answer: Rawon or traditional Indonesian beef black soup)
4. It depends. If the island is gorgeous, I’ll stop by. Otherwise, I’ll keep swimming.

BG is a super-stacked server now after SoS imploded last time.
60+ mins queue for a T1 server during reset time, that’s normal.
Deal with the queue time if you still wanna play in T1 stacked server.

Jareth.4813:

You guys realise that a game can’t actually blow up a graphics card right?

A game itself can’t, but intensive gaming session under the maximum setting without any proper cooling for the CPU can blow up a graphic card.

Hence, a portable AC placed next to the CPU is a good solution to prevent the card from melting/blowing up.

Just go with the flow, man.
You know, one of the devs even praised the player with the highest rank lvl (lvl 30).

Keep playing one character.
Forget about alts.
Forget about defending.
Get to the highest rank ASAP.
You know what I mean~

Unfortunately.5940:

Meh… golem-rushing is so last month. Mega-zergs auto-attacking gates down is what it’s all about now!

Amen, brother.

The new trend now is WxP trains or WxP balls.
Golem-rushing? Ppt game? That’s so pre-March 26th 2013.

May the biggest WxP ball/WxP train win the game~

Xirin.8593:

…I am without words.

But then, you just did 4 words there, or maybe 5 if the dots are counted as one word.

Jayne.9251:

So it appears the removal of culling melted my graphics card. It just spontaneously combusted last night after several massive zerg fights.

For the record, it was a decent card on a decent system*, was only a year old, and when I went into WvW I turned my settings low and got rid of shadows. But apparently the new changes were too much for it, alas.

Anyone else in mourning?

*system: quad, 8gigs ram, 6970 card, liquid cool

That’s what happens when you use AMD cards.

lol, I know right.
AMD card can’t handle intense graphic better than Nvidia card can.
My new computer with AMD is only 5 month olds, but it already started acting up just a few weeks after I purchased it >_<;;;

My Nvidia card before started acting up after 3-4 years of intense gaming usage.

This gives me a reason to buy a portable AC to cool down my computer during hot days despite having liquid cooler already.

All I want to see from the WvW patch they were talking about months ago is the increase rewards for defending, but I’ve yet to see defenders getting rewarded decently.

Give defenders more WxP than capping objectives.
We all know that the previous reward from “Repel the enemy attackers” quest for defending is low enough compared to capping objectives.
After this patch, defending objectives still gets low rewards, plus lower WxP than WxP from capping objectives….

Anet, please think about people defending objectives.
Defending is also important. =.=;;;

azizul.8469:

WXP should only come from killing players…… capping should just give you normal XP only

No, WxP should come from every aspect: killing, capping and defending

Jeknar.6184:

Every time a thread like this is created, a JP camper is successful…

Yes.
Like what I’ve said in multiple topics about EB JP campers in the past:

“Good job JP campers.
Keep up your good work!”

There’s a new match-up thread already? xD

This man really comes from the future.

Anyways, gl everyone.

Well, the problem is that they don’t have the WvW population indicator at the server selection screen. The indicator only indicates the OVERALL server population.

This flaw has not been corrected since they implemented transfer fee last time.
Stacked servers/high-tiered servers with low OVERALL server population will get more stacked.

Now that they remove the fee for those low OVERALL server population, the stacking will get worse for those high-tiered servers with low OVERALL population.

The solution to this is Anet have to add WvW population indicator, and the server transfer fee can be calculated based on that indicator instead of OVERALL server population indicator.

The consideration to transfer server mainly occurs among WvW players as PvE players can guest as they like. Thus, the fee calculation should be based on WvW population for each server, not the OVERALL server population.

Welcome, new WvW GM.
Enjoy your stay here.

Yea, looks like that’s the metagame the dev wants.

This is why from now on, I’ll stop caring about whatever being attacked.
I’ll try my best to adapt to the metagame, which are focusing on offensive actions, rank/WxP and stop bothering with giving reports and defending.

Just like some people mentioned on the other topic, the major issue with WXP is that people tend to stick to the zerg ball now. More people don’t want to defend or scout anymore.

Last night, I witnessed it myself.
I saw some important objectives (keep/tower) having white sword, and when someone asked what’s going on in that objective, no one said anything. In many occasions, the saves came late, and the objectives got taken by enemies.

Then, when I caught some enemies about to attack one tower, I gave a proper report that no one cared about because almost everyone was with the zerg trying to retake a bigger objective while having a happy chat moment.
It took about 3-4 minutes for them to ask “What’s going on in that tower?” despite a proper report was given 3-4 minutes earlier. It took 3-4 minutes to realize the tower was being attacked just because the zerg got wiped in that bigger objective they’re trying to retake. Should the zerg not get wiped sooner, the tower would have been taken by the enemies since I was the only defender there.

Before the patch, I saw more intels giving reports (whether it’s proper or improper), and people usually come on time to rescue whatever objectives getting attacked.

I’m afraid because of this rank system, eventually, people will not care at all about defending and scouting. They might just let the objective being taken by the enemies and recap it later for more WXP, and I’m sure if intels are giving report, there will be more people ignoring it or, even worse, there will be more people trolling intels =.=;;;

Yea, I’ve gotten stuck in a wall 3 times so far.
One happened when a tower got capped.
One happened when I was repairing wall.
One happened when I (my asura) finished building an arrow cart that’s located very close to the wall in the very corner of a narrow platform (This happened last weekend).

Hilarious but annoying lol

The titles….are just adding unnecessary clutters in the sea of red & green name tags…. :\

This is related to the new WvW update, which allowed players to see enemies in nameplate only.
However, the title causes tagging issue for many players.

To answer the question, there is no option for that.
Some people on the other topic want Anet to give us option to turn off the enemy title.

Habib Loew.6239:

Inability to queue for WvW is a bug. A fix is in the works currently.

Glad to hear it’s just a bug.

/feels relieved
