Guild Wars 2

IMHO, if you choose to run solo, you deal with whatever arrives and move on. It is your/our own choice and gamers do NOT get to choose other gamers playstyle.

Some great fights on SoS bl last night, tenacious attacks by CD and a lot of fun, Thank you.

There have been some great fights this weekend. There are some good roamers moving about BUT it is their call regarding the choice to run engage call others etc, not the call of the forum monkey.

Good fights in EB last night, good movement, great turnout and a lot of fun.

Please keep turning out to WvW. See you on the battlefield.

Some great fights this week. A very spirited performance by Mag, including several open field battles have created a series of extremely fun gaming sessions. The quality defence by Mag of their bay was a highlight and I doubt anyone at the battle failed to complete monthly wvw kills.

IMHO, this has been a very enjoyable week. Thank you all for turning out to WvW.

Some great fights this week, for one reason or another Mag’s is pushing back hard and in spite of our fortune over the weekend, the winner is not yet decided.

I am enjoying the mix of open field fights and good siege battles this week. I hope all are enjoying the week and keep turning out to WvW.

Apologies to the enemy necro I ran “from” on SoS BL, I was trying to scout, catch you somewhere around the paths!

Both mags and yaks have had some fine thieves operating this week, props to them all.

While many people choose to accuse thieves of all manner of crimes, there are others that enjoy the pucker factor thieves bring to matches. I am currently roaming as a necro and enjoy fighting any professon you wish to bring.

If you run solo, duo, trio or even 60 deep and attack me, so be it I chose to be there.

If I am fighting you and you choose to stealth and reset, re engage or leave, so be it, all good to me, I am in a WvW free fire zone and will adapt.

See you on the battlefields.

While the forums performance is fairly poor this week, the in game performance of the three servers has been IMHO, “very good”.

As someone who prefers to solo roam ( necro mostly this week ) I have enjoyed some excellent fights vs skilled opponents, including one guardian who fought me for many minutes. Win lose or draw, please keep turning up to WvW.

Props to the 8-10 man “blue” team that was taking SoS BL towers last night, ballsy and could easily have taken the whole thing if our responders were a tad slower.

I seldom respond directly to posters who show ( by clicking their post history) themselves to be pushing their own barrow but I simply need to restate a few things hidden amongst walls of opinion.

After having played a mix of servers ranked 1 through to 10+ in the Random draw series, I have NOT noted a significant difference in individual player skills when looked at on a serverwide basis.

Just like my own server, our current opponents have a mix of skilled players and people learning the game. Please keep turning up to WvW as it is the players that bring the fun. I have enjoyed many fine fights this week, thank you.

Good luck, see you on the battlefields.

Apart from the odd smarmy post it has been a well mannered enjoyable thread, a gentle reminder never hurts.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/WvW-sub-forum-rules-reminder

Please report possible exploiters using the systems they provide, talk to leaders of other servers, ask for help or server contacts without naming specific players etc and try to move on and enjoy the game.

I have to compliment that lighthouse arrow cart placement.

I thought it was novel and effective.

See you on the battlefield.

I have met many fine players during this match, I am in particular enjoying necro vs necro battles, win lose or draw, I thank you all for bringing the fun.

See you on the battlefields!

While doing the new crystal transformation I was targeted by a smoke catapult in queensdale centaur event, experienced the huge lag spike as OP described. Repeated cat shots caused exactly the same lag, no real lag issues anywhere else.

I have often wondered why they put achievements in eb jp and understand the frustration of those who simply wish to reach the achievement. While some will disagree, It is very similar to people who want to duel/ GvG near windmill being annoyed by others.

We each follow our own codes of conduct. To return to the topic.

There have been some exceptional small force encounters this week. I enjoyed a Very fine 2 v 2 near SBI keep last night, thanks for the fun.

This week as usual, I have enjoyed some fine battles against skilled, clever opponents.

I have enjoyed the battle against a guild named KIWI, they are aggressive, willing to hit towers with a small force and seem to know their stuff! Thanks for bringing the fun.

From the ongoing forums twaddle, It would appear 2-3 people have not had the same luck finding good fights. They are not speaking for their respective servers.

See you on the battlefields!

If you check my post history you will find that, win lose or draw I have always suggested people play to enjoy the game.

At reset SBI and CD came out of the blocks firing and hopefully all three servers had a lot of fun in those first 4-5 hours. I definitely enjoyed it!

I understand the frustration RNG matches may bring to some players. SoS has not had the luckiest month RNG wise but I am proud of how classy most SoS posters stayed while facing massive forces.

Good luck all, we are all gamers, my thanks to those who bring the fun regardless!

Enjoy the game world. Please remember that these forums are part of the game experience and that you can easily check a post history to see “who” you are responding too…

The match has had many highpoints for me so far this week, in no particular order;

Mag pushing a TC group into our siege range at NW tower then bowing and leaving.
Mag, TC and SoS solo roamers fighting at a Yak ( multiple times ).
TC Solo Guardian fighting between SoS spawn and lake tower, great fighter not yet sure how to kill him/her alone if ever…
The 3 man/womanSoS , MGWC (sp) guild engaging any size force that turns up.

I do not care how you choose to play, win, lose, draw or even forcing me to swear at the monitor, players are the game.

Keep bringing the fun,

I had some good fights in EB and TC bl last night my time. All servers have their quality players and hopefully most are enjoying the matchups.

I loved the TC Char commander who stood in the hole in the SM wall as the early warning scout, good to see a leader on point duty.

Thank you those who bring the fun.

Good luck all.

There have been some great fights over the weekend and I have seen some fine skilled opponents in action from all servers.

Play for fun, if that means PPT, open field battles, defence, roaming or large forces, so be it!

Thanks for turning up to WvW and bringing the fun, see you on the battlefields!

These weeklies just keep coming, if you are facing burnout, by all means take a break. Please return after the break though, WvW is nothing without players.

I expect many of us on SoS, Mag’s and TC will be out doing our normal thing regardless of the draw. Good luck all, I hope you find a way to enjoy the week.

I personally have a few hundred thousand yaks to kill before I am done….

This week I have encountered a few very fine groups. I have also met some fine roamers, including a couple of Guardians who easily fended off any tactics I tried, neither my thief or ranger could do much to them. I enjoyed the challenge!

Thanks for bringing the fun and a variety of playstyles to this weekly match.

Some good fights last night. Had a very even 1 v1 with an EB ranger vs my ranger in a db held SE camp on DB BL. Really came down to whose CD’s popped first.

I personally enjoy solo roaming on all my characters, some have major advantages when roaming. I have met many fine roamers from EB and DB on the BLs this week. I have a great deal of respect for the skills I have seen among these roaming players.

My Necro is proving to be massive fun and has even won the odd fight!

Good luck, hope to see you on the battlefield!

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/WvW-sub-forum-rules-reminder

IMHO,

All three servers have some good and also some average players.

DB has not appeared to go all out this week and I thank them if they have chosen fun over outright PPT. They have provided some great open field fights and some intense keep battles. I hope they are enjoying the match.

EB has defended well many times and should be happy with their defensive effort. The open field fights have also been fun with some fine battles.

SoS has had a lot of fun open field fights and the regulars appear to be having fun. There are always moments when WE could improve but SoS has never given up.

Please enjoy the game, play however you wish and ignore the forum clowns where you can.

Great defence of Briar last night by Ebay on Ebay BL. Loved the fights, win lose or draw. I also enjoyed the sequence where SoS surprised a DB team in the lords room only to be wiped by an inc Ebay team. So much AoE and uncollected bags!

Keep bringing the fun all.

Archer.1658:

It’s weird..DB and SoS players are like ridiculously easy to kill. I’m not sure if it’s because they are used to zerging everything or just all glassy..but wow. I’ve never had easier kills lol.

IMHO, every match thread regardless of servers involved pretty much has someone say this about the other two servers.

Some good fights this weekend, had some great 1 v 1 s, some great small group fights and some excellent large group pushes, keep at it all!

Friday for me now and another RNG weekly match draws closer to a reset.

All three weeks that SoS has faced TC have been enjoyable for me and I have a great deal of respect for TC’s ingame performances.

CD last night ( oceanic) went within a whisker of turning all but SoS garrison and a TC held hills on SoS BL green. Great effort from a group I estimated at only 12-15 players. We barely clung onto cliffside!

I appreciate the fact that WvW is dead without opponents and would like to thank all servers wvwvw participants for bringing the fun every week!

Good luck with your dice rolls!

IMHO, SoS has had an interesting few RNG matches, while I do not speak for my server or even the guild I am 1/400th of, I personally have enjoyed them.

Each player/server/guild should do whatever they feel is best for themselves, the game and/or their entertainment dollar. Thank you those who have been providing the WvWvW fun these last few thousand hours of game time.

See you on the battlefield.

As I have been saying for closing on a year, Players bring the fun in WvW. For me the variety of builds and playstyles adds to the experience. I like the RNG matches, I also like tankier builds but that is my choice..

CD, SoS, TC you all have some terrific players, please continue bringing the fun. . Please treat server mates and enemy as fellow gamers where possible.

Good luck, see you on the battlefields fellow gamers!

I enjoyed playing vs SoR last week. OP I hope the RNG gods favour you and you get SoR next week.

Good luck

To be honest, I was reducing my WvW hrs played during the SoS, SBI, CD weeks as I do not like that style of play. ( oceanic hours)

I massively increased my play hours vs SoR/TC and again this week vs TC. I have no issue with people who are doing the reverse, we are all gamers looking to enjoy the game in our own ways.

A couple of thousand hours enjoyed in GW2 shows they are doing some things right for me anyway.

Another good night of fighting. Props to the TC and CD players who were dueling just SE of SM. It looked a good fight.

It is ok to embellish a little for server morale but during the NA/Oceanic/SEA hrs I played, ALL servers experienced wins and losses. There are players on all servers who could learn from each other. Learning is often best done in game.

Good luck, Please try not to threaten, accuse, abuse or belittle other gamers.

These matches are tiring to many, fun to many and a strain on others. IMHO, It would be better to spleen vent in non matchup forums.

Some terrific open field engagements happened oceanic hours last night, TC were relentless in pushing Ogrewatch and some superb flanks were achieved by all sides. I believe TC’s main objective was the open field conflict.

SoS is growing many commanders and I personally thank them for the hours they are putting into the matches. I have always believed in the mantra;

" Lead , follow or get out of the way"

Good luck commanders and teams from all sides, I hope to see you on the battlefields

TC has played great the last two weeks, I look forward to playing them again without the lag of last week.

Welcome back CD, I saw how well you went the last few weeks and hope you enjoy this one as well.

SoS…. CHARGE!

Many good fights this week. I have seen no mean spirited play and in fact a lot of very good sportsmanship. I hope you have enjoyed the match.

As to the ongoing matches, they are randomised;

The team who wins the weekly arbitrary T1 matchup get the T1 Medal this week.
The teams that score better than their previous ratings indicated, go up in rating.
The teams that score worse than their previous ratings indicated, go down in rating.

The rest is just bluster and forum bluff.

See you on the battlefields.

We had a terrific fight on SoS bl my playtime last night. Both TC and SoR made some huge pushes and SoS held and pushed wherever possible.

All servers/individuals have their own motivation for playing or not, but I thank those who turn up and provide the fun each week.

There is usually more than two ways to look at a situation, but please play in a manner that keeps you and your guild/server mates in the game.

This week got off to a flier, SoR had some hugely skilled teams running around and I was very proud to see SoS still out there fighting. Having played 12-15+ hrs a day the first three days, it is noticeable that SoR has cut back on play hours, hopefully they are still getting some fun fights.

Thanks for any well meant advice offered during the week but please remember, some players transferred out of tier 1 to seek a different style of wvw.

Good luck all, see you on the battlefields!

If SoS should have been 7th and is now 7th, it appears the ranking is working.

SoR has shown a lot of class this week, I hope to see them again in a match. Hopefully not next week…. Think we should send Anet cookies and a match wishlist?

Just enjoy the week. These random matches will just keep coming. Some will rest , some will fight but it would be wrong for us to expect SoR to just give up their No 1 rating to go easy on us! TC should do whatever they feel is right for their server , NOT ours. Thanks BG and JQ, I know you are hoping we do well……

I would prefer we all fight right through the week and see how the rolls treat us next week.

See you all on the battle field, Good luck SoR, TC and SoS.

I am Ignoring 1-2 trolls and counter trolls as they are in the words of a past australian Prime Minister “Non representative $%^&”.
This has been a well mannered thread to back up a very good weeks WvWvW. SoS had plenty of numbers out for most of the week and hopefully TC and FA will be out in force as well “when” they get the cat eyes roll and get a them vs Sor and BG type match.

I met some terrific solo roamers this week and look forward to the fact that “Tier” is only a sorting system now. Congrats on holding rank 4 TC, would have been the only downer for the week if we had promoted DB accidentally.

See you all next time we draw the random cards, play as hard as you like, place your forces where you like, PvPers will adapt, it is our trademark.

Sorry for delayed posts, I tend to play until i drop then post at work the next day…

Last night (10 hrs ago ) we faced three very fine TC players, it was either 3 guardians or 2 and a hammer warrior…. very well co ordinated, they fought and downed/spiked 4-5 thieves repeatedly and showed some great skills.

Great fun, good to meet skilled opponents in open field actions.

PS on SoS, TS can be team shatter, shatter inc or I think, total swagger guilds among others. All are seperate guilds. Always feel free to ask as I/we can see names in guild roster easily if some one is being a twerp.

I disagree totally with the OP, I think a better solution would be;

Remove gold and karma costs for upgrades, keeping supply cost AND reset all structures to match starting condition every 6 hrs starting with match reset.

This would remove the problem of facing T3 structures during your timezone if the previous one is dominated.

I have a great deal of respect for the active patrollers and watchers who have kept me/us honest all week. For me, some of the best fights this week have been small forces attacks and defences at camps!

I also loved the double portal into ANZ to wipe us last night in EB, classic, funny and very effective!

I look forward to the next time SoS draws, TC and/or FA in match lotto!

Sorry I was not clear enough, The first question was aimed at the start of the match

ie, server A dominates the Reset NA primetimes hours. Server B dominates the non NA primetime hours.

Server B does a 100% blackout for the first 5 hrs post reset, then comes in and captures ALL the high value holdings. Would that work or is it mathematically impossible to do better than the worst you could do by playing and losing during the first 5 hrs.

Question two was simply, is the 24 hr period at the end of the match going to be worth more or less total points than it is now.

Thanks, I am pretty happy with how your proposed system works over the week just each end seemed interesting.

I understand the need for people to embellish stories, edit videos etc to make themselves look “the best”. It likely does help personal morale.

I also hear many people say " $%& server X always melts" etc, I have heard this in the old t1, t2, t3, t4, t5. It has been said about every server.

I personally have seen very little difference in absolute skill lvls between servers.

Latency, numbers, finance available for computer, best use of current "questionable"skills, gold/cash spent on gear all of these things are difficult to factor in, but DO play a part in fight outcomes.

Good luck all, be proud of your efforts, but be truthful to yourselves.

I am oceanic and I see a lot of promise in the outlined system, I would like to pose a few minor questions.

Assuming the system was implemented.

How do you motivate players to participate in hours where they are outmanned, when the impression may become ,“stay out it lowers their possible score”.

Under your propsed systme what is the max 24hr score available if opponent/s chose to blackout 24 hrs prior to reset ?

Thank you for the great fights around 9-10 hrs ago at FA BL bay. An epic defence by FA, SoS had the numbers and a commander willing and able to grind down the defences.

Many SoS were killed, FA fought well but eventually the keep fell. It was a great battle and a win to both sides in my book. Thanks to the SoS eb team for keeping the main forces busy!

Good luck all, after a few weeks of stale competition and a few ‘mystery’ keep flips it is a pleasure to fight new opponents in TC and FA. Hopefully we get a good mix of RNG matches so all the rating guff sorts out for your servers.

Hickeroar.9734:

I think this is confirming a lot of people’s original suspicions that SoS firmly belonged in T3, not T4.

GJ SoS. Had some great small-group fights with you in EBG today.

The biggest problem is that They’re gonna land in T3 at some point, having learned lots of T2 tactics and organization…and they’re gonna spank. xD

I agree, as a server we have “relearned” much that we have not been using the last 5-6 weeks. Many SoS players have been here since the start and while a lot of WvWvW focussed guilds moved on, not ALL their members went with them.

Good luck TC and FA, you play well and I will watch with interest when you draw rating 1, 2,or 3 servers in the weekly draw.

Worst idea ever was trying to throw away an old boomerang……

I have zero issues with how TC and FA are playing, it has been a lot of fun. Play for rating, PPT or open field fun, it is your dollar!

See you on the battle field, I play all 8 professions and I am getting serious practice this week, thanks for bringing the fun.

(I still need 240K more Yak kills……. )

Option 2, the new RNG system. Well chosen Anet!

Should we do the tally every 5-6 posts to show the trend ?

Also please take note of the multi posters and ensure their opinion, just like all others, is counted only as one vote regardless of their 5-6 posts to a poll thread.
