Guild Wars 2

tsym isn’t coming to jq kids calm your pants.

ET was medium sized when they were in T1-2 lol.

Yes it was all Ruin, but you can always try to make server alliances.

Etherien.1436:

As awesome as it would be to be able to get 1g a day more doing WvW, I don’t see this happening I’m sorry. You can already do the PvE daily in WvW, so having a 2nd lot of daily achievements would just annoy the PvE-ers.

I don’t know how it would annoy the PvEers. Most of them farm CoF all day anyway, and 1g there would take 2 runs = 15 mins.

I just want to buy some ***ing siege, it annoys me when in the middle of the day we run out of superiors.

Make a WvW daily,

1 keep capture

3 tower capture

100 kills

10 dolyak kills

reward :1 gold everyday.

Most of us WvW players are always short of money, mostly because of absurd upgrade and siege prices.

Sounds like one more guild to farm :]

I would always love to bang norn woman.

Which do you prefer? Personally I love the female armour except the helm.

more double teaming going on in egb. jade quarry staying on the bottom area of SOR’s tower protecting them while SOR waits at the top while we’re sieging it.

You seem mad.

One is rarely happy on these forums by the looks of maj. threads :P

One cannot be mad after farming SoR all night

SoR makes superzerg on their homeBL -> still holding only 3 objectives

something does not compute!

Simple, the less and less Sober Jed is the better he, and by extension, SF and JQ performs. And Jed was really gone tonight, at one point he started singing “Just a small town Jed, living in a lonely world! Took the midnight train going anywhere!” and that was as far as it got before other people picked up the song and JQ Teamspeak went to hell.

Thank the six I went to have dinner just before that…

Ben K.6238:

Except HoD seems to be handling T7 quite nicely, so unless for some reason SF is better than T7 level (I doubt it), HoD is going to give you a hiding as well.

If they get their tactics together, I’d be willing to say SF could do high 7 to low 6. But that’s just my opinion, considering the other “beast” servers what shredded around in
this Tier.

People don’t just do magically well when they reach high tiers. Look at SoR.

‘Wasted’ on ONE tier.

‘Appreciated’ on 7 other tiers.

Who the hell cares.

REAL.7483:

No offense but… amount of kills a player has ? That’s like “Hey, let’s see who can zerg and tag more!” In a game where kills don´t even give points, that says literally nothing you do for your server, you can even do it for your own loot. In fact it might be the opposite, you don´t do useful stuff like scouting and small scale because everyone wants to farm killz!

Not a good idea…

But i would be a fan of lists with the various stuff, dolyaks/repairs/escorts/dolyakslappers and kills included, just not kills only.

Average zerger in 50 man zerg prime time: 10-20k kills

Red Guard leader, 30 man squad at best usually: over 200k kills if i’m not mistaken

Most common form of QQ you see:

“My 5 man group got wiped by 50 enemies, this is zergwarsqq omg whywhy”

2.56 Million Copies sold

(Remember, this is copies sold, Not Subscribers)

http://www.vgchartz.com/game/37350/guild-wars-2/

Hmm yes

I would not trust those sources, since GW2 have sold over 3 million copies and that was quite some time ago.
The number show there were closer to the number of copies sold BEFORE release.

Its the Asian Markets that are probably not that accurate (13% is rather low)

WoW is kind of the same way, you can’t really track its Asian numbers very well.

(This link also gives the numbers sold on SWTOR as well, which is about right)

This is the recent numbers on breaking 3 Million

http://www.polygon.com/2013/1/15/3878496/guild-wars-2-has-sold-three-million-copies-since-launch

That was in January, They sold 2 Million Copies at the start which is about Comparable to SWTOR at the start..

They’ve not broken 4 Million Copies yet, which suggest they’re slowing down on sales…

Since they’ve not gotten a Monthly fee either… That’s not a good sign.

edit

http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/09/13/guild-wars-2-sells-over-two-million-units

That was in September, They announced in January they sold 3 Million Copies total.

So it had slightly better sales then SWTOR did, and didn’t get the monthly fee to go with it.

You’re very useless in this thread atm. If you don’t want to contribute, make your own thread advertising your googling skills.

Fishbait.6723:

Why C: for number 3?
Why Roman numerals for number four when rest is isn`t?

Just curious.

If you really don’t know, 4 is a bad number. On elevator buttons you can often see F used instead of 4.

I like large scale fights, but if you don’t like them, this is a way to encourage it.

I don’t know about other tiers, but here in NA T1, militia zerging will get you almost no kills atm.

Organised, voice-commed spec groups of 20-30 will kill pug zergs twice their size easy. That’s not a zerg; that’s an army, or a squad.

You people really need to look up the definition of zerg.

It’s like watching a worm squirm :]

What if there were over 500 ranks and 27 is ridiculously easy to get?

I don’t understand all the fuss with HIM transferring to a server HE desires, using HIS own money. He’s just asking for help, give help or don’t post anything.

The best way to earn gold ATM is to farm CoF path 1. about 5 gold/hour with a good group, still 3+ gold/hour with an average group.

Cantur Soulfyre.5409:

Not sure if this was mentioned yet (I am lazy and didnt want to read all the “this class is too powerful, mine is too weak” stuff).

Warrior trait “Death from Above” gives you 50% fall damage. I use it all the time to take routes most others do not.

As a matter of fact, all classes have that trait in different ways.

Zikory.6871:

It’s really to bad people interfear with the GvG, the area between Garrison and Bay seems to be very nice open area. Though even if you had every guild on all servers agree to not interfere with the GvG you could never stop “everyone”

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFf

No, never that area. Yes it’s a nice open field, but it’s an actually strategically important area and many other WvWers, who are actually playing WvW pass through that area.

kuora.5402:

20v20 arena would actually be wonderful, especially in an instanced zone. Much less lag or FPS drops, actual scoring system and such.

I do have to applaud EMP for organizing all these GvGs, it’s not necessarily easy work.

As long as it isn’t objective based and more of a guild duel system.

It would be cool to have an actual system for that which affects server score, including things like issuing challenges and such. Where you declining costs you more than losing. Maybe then we can get a fight with EMP

There was a post on Reddit earlier which suggested Black citadel arena. Considering how that area is already instanced in the charr storyline, it does seem plausible.

Also, leaderboards.

Sardonia.8196:

score update anyone

Here you go.

Tyaen.5148:

I did see a GvG video from that area that was interesting because they moved into the orchard. That would make for some interesting LoS issues. Players would have to make some quick adjustments in that situation.

The thing that is funny to me is all the prep work. Even numbers determining the field etc… I think the player base should ask for 20v20 arena s or tPvP. If the demand is there one would think they’d implement it.

This isn’t directed at EMP or anyone specifically. Just quoting Noodles because you linked the video of the GvGvInterupt.

I can’t for the life of me figure out why people think GvG’s can be fun in the closed narrow space that is always used. It allows for zero tactics, just smash our faces into each other and hope our selection of classes is the Paper to their Rock selection of classes.

I’m surprised no one has tried to just say. Lets meet at X spot in open field at X:XX time on the tick. That way there is actually the possibility of maneuvering.
It helps limit the chance of being interrupted because you don’t have two guilds standing around drawing attention to each other. You can still pick a somewhat out of the way location so people are less likely to stroll by.

We have a standard set up actually!

Three fields! The one you saw was “trenches and hills” one team starts on the top while other starts below. “Open field” which requires more maneuverability and routing. Last but not least “Close quarters” , which is on the other side of the video.

You’d be surprised on how guilds coordinate under the given field parameters. Takes us like 10 minutes to set up the fields but it provides allot of awesome fights! Depending on the zone, you can tell how quickly some guilds stack together under pressure.

During match points, both leaders agree to face off on a specified time frame “xx:xx”. When one team defeats the other, they /salute and proceed re-rezzing and setting up. Its quite awesome if guilds have the courtesy to set up in such a chaotic environment. Promotes healthy competition and respect between guilds cross server.

I can see how having different fields setup can be entertaining and more representative of WvW in general. When you consider many fights happen in a tightly packed Lords room. I guess I’ve just never thought the “Open Field” part is very open.

In truth I’ve not watched a lot of the videos so maybe I am not seeing the “open field” portions. I just don’t see any areas south of that supply camp that appear to be good it.

I didn’t realize you are setting up 3 different fields though. That at least mixes things up a little bit but still feels like it would still more or less be just smashing head on into each other just in different locations. Maybe I’ll check a few more of the videos out though just out of curiosity.

The more important thing than an ‘open’ field is that you must not interfere (or try not to) with the actual WvW affair. As far as I know there is noting objectively important at the south of south camp.

Looks like making up stories and using culling as an excuse is the trend until next week. Thanks I might be using it sometimes.

I was trying to give you a way out…..

You know, there are guilds that I respect as an enemy. Red Guard, Za Drots, War Legend, VoTF, Pain Train, FoE, Tsym, Agg, WM, Never Die…

FEAR, at the moment I do not think any of my WvW acquaintances respect them as an enemy. Mainly because- you know. Forum behaviours and things.

2. There are many reasons why a guild leaves the map. It’s generally not because they are defeated by SoR superzerg over and over. They enjoy fighting x3 their numbers and still seeing that SoR struggles.

Last time someone made a comment like this in this very thread, I counted 52 bags on the ground after the fight that prompted the post and our supply info showed only 27 people for our super duper gigantic mega zerg.

Something doesn’t compute.

Who knows, maybe perceptions get skewed by culling. You know …only being able to see 30 friendlies when there are actually 60.

1. You, one person, does not thing GvG is fun.

2. If it really is a rockpaper game, why are there scores like 5:0, 7:1… etc? And why do those winning guild dominate open field in the real WvW?

3. Basically this video’s point is to laugh at FEAR.

I numbered the things I want to respond to in your disjointed post for easy reference:

1. Actually you misunderstood him, he didn’t say that he didn’t like GvG. He doesn’t like the location because it is too narrow and doesn’t allow for tactics much outside of smashing your faces together. In fact, his response would imply that he likes GvG.

2. This is blatantly false. Case in point, at least one of those guilds (and I wont mention who to avoid any defamation of them) gets rolled each and every night, to the point they generally leave the zone after a while when we are there.

3. Are you saying the Noodles was trolling by posting that video? Can you clarify?

1. I misread his post. Apologies to the original poster.

2. There are many reasons why a guild leaves the map. It’s generally not because they are defeated by SoR superzerg over and over. They enjoy fighting x3 their numbers and still seeing that SoR struggles.

3. Nah, I think he posted the video to promote FEAR’s obviously exceptional ambushing skills.

covenn.7165:

kuora.5402:

No need for the 7 points.

1. Fear got their collective bum handed to them while trying to be a kitten.

You worked together with enemies and bystanders to kill someone interrupting a duel (between guilds in this case). This has been going on for at least a decade as I can personally remember such things dating back to the early days of DAOC.

Grats.

Government corruption and civil wars has been going on in Somalia for over 3 decades. It should continue on because it has been.

20 EMP, 20 Agg, 20 Tsym, 20 VoTF, …. list goes on

thinks GvG is fun.

You are not forced to GvG, nor receive any disadvantages from not playing it.

South of South camp has no objective that will help your server points. ZERO reason for a guild to ‘stroll’ by unless they’re trying to do some GvG.

FEAR wanted to show their 1337 skills by intentionally interrupting a pre-organised GvG, where 40+ people have fun, not affecting scores or queue (they usually do it before reset, or a map with no queue).

If it really is a rockpaper game, why are there scores like 5:0, 7:1… etc? And why do those winning guild dominate open field in the real WvW?

Recap for those who can’t watch videos in the office:

1. EMP vs AGG in a GvG at prime time while BG is last in points.
2. EMP rolls AGG at what appears to be the SoR borderland.
3. FEAR rolls into the area and attacks.
4. EMP, AGG, what appears to be SF, as well as bystanders (really hard to tell due to all the stupid culling going on)… join together and fight them.
5. People get killed on bother sides.
6. Looks like FEAR is got overwhelmed and is forced to withdraw
7. EMP stands around patting themselves on the back.

I think that is accurate, but it is so hard to tell with all the culling.

No need for the 7 points.

1. Fear got their collective bum handed to them while trying to be a kitten.

Oooh so THIS is why FEAR decided to be PvE carebears tonight? Too scared? Lololol.

FEAR is always on when we aren’t on, comes on forums and tells us how much they loved collecting bags from our militia with double our numbers. , but they claim that they aren’t on when we’re actually playing.

My friends in SoR also said that one of the FEAR leaders was boasting about wiping one of the JQ guilds over and over on their TS when the said guild posted a video on their website wiping FEAR over and over.

Yeah ‘we were pveing wuh wuh wuh’ yep, stay there where you belong!

Sportsmanship at its best.

This is why I love T1. There is always something to do, on any timezone.

Fully support the idea. It will actually create some rivalry between guilds, and seeing that your [XXX] guild on rank #3 of the world would be quite impressive, although you won’t have much impact on WvW due to your numbers.

Plus, it would be great fun, leading to advanced tactics and such.
