Anet you have to do something about "GvG"

Nope and nope.

GvG is a myth in this game. Fantasy created by wannabes and tryhards who never lived up to the elitist standards that defined Guild vs Guild. Sowwy anet didn’t cater to the casuals by totally disrespecting the thousands of players who did compete honorably for the past 8 years in true GvG. But they still disagree with you. In fact, if my guild wants, it could easily just steamroll with a zerg over your silly little wannabe gvg’s and it’s well within the parameters of the game.

Both Redguard and their opponents would disagree with you. However, they would be wasting time feeding the trolls.

Still can’t believe you are on Jade Quarry as its obvious you missed out when they were recently active on your server.

You should take your issues upon the leaderships of your server as all your strategic points could be handled by the guild leaders of your servers teamspeak or messageboard.

Sooo…. as soon as I mention removing Guild Tags, the knee jerk response is to say Guild Leaders should be the server leaders too? Not much into the concept of a “World” community are we? lol

It was a response to your quote below, thus my response is the same. Carry on…

“Guilds participating should at least be considerate and smart enough to realize it’s 3 Worlds per map. You should be having 3 Guilds down at South Camp for GvG. Leaving one out at a time to spectate. Thus leaving an equal number of active WvW players on the map. All of the complaints of GvG would be eliminated if people were smart enough to do this….”

GvG, as it is now, goes against the spirit and intention of WvW. Right from the start, the minute you enter WvW you are a member of the Worlds Force. A guild label should not come before the World. Anet could really pull the plug on GvG by removing visible Guild Tags in WvW.

No thanks to the OP, last thing you need is artificial Handcuffs dreamed up by Anet to curtail those who want to take a break and do a little GvG.

Lots of transfers to lower tier servers

in WvW

Posted by: scootshoot.6583

scootshoot.6583

Tier 1 is a lagfest where the server bogs down and many times the only thing you can hit that will work is your 1 attack. Servers can have 70 man zergs on multiple maps. Trust me, it really isn’t very fun.

I see more people leaving this game or transferring down to less laggy wvw.

Since matchups are pretty random what is the point in staying with a stacked Tier 1 server? More skilled fights? Psh, it’s more like who can blob the most players and pvdoor the fastest before the enemy blob of 70 players shows up.

A quarter of the people on T1 servers transferred up anyway and didn’t work their way up so there shouldn’t be much server loyalty from the transfers.

Transferring down seems like the best option. Less lag and less mega blob1 spamming zergs sounds great.

The lag really isn’t as bad as some people make it out to be. It usually only happens in 3-way zerg fights, which don’t happen all the time.

Agreed. It’s only bad in SM on server reset when you have 3 server blobs fighting for control over that single structure. Otherwise T1 is very much playable.

I like how BG felt the need to portal in their zerg for 7 ppl fighting the lord inside BG Hills earlier. Even better is the fact the lord had downed at least 3 of us. Guess they didn’t want to lose their trebs inside, though I though they preferred golems…. :P

Per my post history I’ve been on SOR since day 1 so no BG fanboy here, haha. However, these sort of QQ posts are annoyin!

How are they to know how many of you are in there? Did you expect the BG commander to turn around once they realized it was a small man? Besides they also have no idea if you have a reinforcement train coming from another map to help out as well.

Sounds like they did what they had to do to save Hills…..

Why are people dueling in WvW? (not in sPvP?)

in WvW

Posted by: scootshoot.6583

scootshoot.6583

GvG duelers are honing their group skills aka number crunching as you will. It’s far more easy to analyze what went right or wrong after an organized match as opposed to the “usual” chaos that happens in WvW.

Besides, most of those guild vs guild duelers are most likely in fact your servers most dedicated WvW players who probably put far more hours and coinage out of their pockets to upgrade structures than the average Joe. If they want to take some time out for some GvG action … it’s well earned.

Make defending towers worth it!

in WvW

Posted by: scootshoot.6583

scootshoot.6583

One of the main problems that discourages defending is the fact that the few people who actually stay back, wait for ages, and report a incoming blob, are often punished additionally by being killed and the tower lost anyway, because the blob caps too fast.

- you stay in tower and guard it
- you forfeit loot
- you forfeit chance for a precursor that can drop from mobs and players you are not killing
- you forfeit karma
- you forfeit experience
- you forfeit advancement through WxP
- you forfeit action and fun
- you spend money to upgrade your tower
- finally! the enemy blob comes to your tower! you call out ‘INC’! then the blob breaks down the gate, kills you and takes your tower.

OR

- run with the BLOB and bathe in riches, progress, action and fortune

The choice is so hard lol.

Good job in your summary.

On occasion the times I have stayed back to watch a structure has ended with either no response from the commanders on map when you call aggro, or the reply of “we’ll get it back later…” in which case those hours I just forfeited missing out on the field battles alongside the bonus rewards you listed was just a waste of time on my end by staying put so I just follow the cappers around now, hah!

Am sure others who feel like they are staying back “for the team” but are met with same response on more than one occasion eventually get to the mindset of, “why bother.”

Lol the new generation of gamers, telling me to quit. If you were unhappy of your country’s politics, would you quit the country? This is the same principal, putting peer pressure and voicing discontent to make things better has become so hard due to the amount of these “take anything in the kitten ” type of people.

Happy to get their money milked from them.
Happy to suck up to the devs.
Not enough will to revendicate anything.

Now, man up and voice your discontent. There is obviously more interest in WvW as a whole than the living world stuff. The living world stuff is and always will be the same thing over and over again, while only PVP offers unpredictable scenarios which makes gaming fun (for players who actually enjoy challenge). This just shows how much ArenaNet has no idea what’s going on within their own game.

haha!

You new to MMO forums? Your rant here can be copy / pasted to every MMO forum past, present and future. Go read the WoW forums as it’s the Kingpin of MMo’s and will soon be hitting their 10 year anniversary next year. A new player reading the WoW forums would come to think it’s the worst MMO game in the history of mankind and not a single player logs on.

For me, the ANet development team has until This is released to make massive improvements to GW2, WvW before I up and quit.

It’s just like any other relationship, you neglect us long enough we’ll leave you for someone else…

Though GW2 is b2p, so if our new relationship doesn’t work out we’ll just move back in until the next sexy thing comes strolling by…ANet, you’ve set the tone for a very abusive relationship…

We need some new wvw maps and some new objectives.

Agreed. Since the opposition in each tier change colors regardless of prior weeks standings, a map change would do wonders to allow a unique feel for playing as Red, Green, or Blue. Each color should have it’s own advantages and disadvantages in terms of terrain and structure layouts.

that Dx9 cannot process

I cant even describe how wrong that is so I really wont bother replying in this thread anymore.

You probably shouldn’t. Most know by now the CPU is the bottleneck in this game. Dirext 9 engine is unable to take advantage of multi core processors which is a huge red flag for a MMO game that was released in 2012 as all pc’s these days are all multi core processors.

As a running business, Anet needed to keep the shareholders happy and ensure GW2 released on time. A complete rewrite would have added years in development so they took the shortcut and modified the original Guild Wars engine.

Switching to dx 10/11 would certainly reduce skill lag, but that’s not going to happen. Why use (“waste” – anet perspective) money to improve WvW when you can have living story every 2 weeks?
But it is a good ideea afterall.

Yep, would require an engine rewrite from scratch which is not gonna happen. It was poor planning on Anet’s part to take a shortcut by modifying the first guild wars engine but hey they gotta keep the shareholders happy and make sure GW2 released on time.

So few weeks ago, Waha said he’s going to break SOR’s moral.
I think its working and without Waha being in the match.

Waha did say that but what it really did was kitten off some of JQ’s wvw focused guilds as Waha was focused on a personal server vendetta instead of looking at the bigger picture for his server. It resulted in several JQ guilds transferring off. Don’t think he expected that…

Far as morale, Waha’s JQ force had a huge SEA presence, this none of us can deny. JQ’s presence in T1 when Waha was playing for points kept BG’s SEA semi in check. Now that their sole big competition has dropped down tiers they are allowed to do what they do and kudos for BG SEA team for taking advantage of that.

Please do not make up this stuff. The WvW focused guilds that left did not leave for that reason.

Guess it depends on your sources. I still keep in contact with a few JQ’ers that were previously on SOR as they transferred off when JQ was riding the high train. Couple guilds were calling for help when their homeland structure was being heavily aggroed on teamspeak and Waha grew a deaf ear as he focusing SOR for his personal vendetta to port back and help. Some grew frustrated and decided to transfer off as this had been happening for weeks on end.

To thos who complains or come to the forums from any server, to cry about emote spamming . If you world gets SO rocked by someone in a game typing /laugh,
or w/e, i think u need a break from gaming.

I think people should be happy that all anyone can do in this game is emote. In Aion people could actually talk to one another and no one ever had anything nice to say.

Indeed. I suggest those players need thicker skin for MMO’s. Toughen yourself up and play WOW on a populated pvp server for a week and get spawn camped for hours or spam /emoted, haha. And GW2 players get kitten over emotes in this game? hehe

I haven’t read this entire thread (my condolences if you have), but may I ask what is going on with SoR? Is your population shrinking or something? Is Blackgate now the most stacked NA server? I could care less about the point tick and who wins week to week, what I want are competitive opponents. I don’t really want to be on the most stacked server in the game.

BG is doing what JQ did back in the day of their dominance as their SEA timezone literally had free reign.

I recall what used to be close scores going into the school/work week ended with a 15k ppt advantage overnight as Waha’s SEA crew overran the zones.

It’s a 24/7 matchup, kudos to BG for their present run but as everyone here knows who has been on T1 for a long time, things can switch quickly as I for one never expected JQ’s present status as they were literally riding high with morale just a couple months ago.

Well I spent the bulk of my day watching people run from me. From some of the big name guilds too. I looked behind me to see if maybe there was a massive TC zerg, but nope. I really am quite terrible, you guys should stop running, haha

I’m not a big fan of spvp .. but I guess I’ll find the fights I’m looking for when I head back to EU.

There are objectives to be had, fires to be put out. You are just a meaningless blip on the road.

Not everyone is specced for small man either. I won’t touch a 1v1. When I run, it is me admitting defeat and saving both you and me the waste of time.

Indeed. Regardless am laughing at that poster thinking zergs are just running from the terrible player. Was on my thief a week ago and a huge BG train ran right past me, not a single one tagged me and I was literally 10 yards away as they caught me with my pants down, hah. They were obviously well organized and had a major fire to put out and I for one am not gonna come on the forums thumping my chest cause they “ran from me” as those precious seconds lost can be the difference of losing a PPT structure.

Will be comparing GW2 to WOW since several Anet developers are former WOW employees….

That said, agreed, the GW2 UI could use improvement. One thing I give WOW kudos is their UI is one of the best of all MMO’s it’s unfortunate Anet after 9+ months is unable to duplicate some of its features.

On the other hand, present WOW developers are taking some of Anet’s ideas as they have just introduced “Armor Skins” for 15 bucks, haha

Love it when I lose a 1v15 fight and some smart guy /emotes.

lol this is the thing that’s annoying the heck out of me today … I was in a 4v1 fight at ruins and took out the two thieves, was working on third thief and guardian, then 25 man zerg rolled over me. Was a good fight, finally found it .. and meh.

Feels like NA gameplay is “throw more bodies at it” rather than improve skill. I don’t mean this as an insult, I’m just saying if it’s the 2 silver armour repair bill, I’ll email it to you. I just want to improve, I’m a mediocre player at best … and getting rolled over by 25 after having fun with four is not challenging.

Did SOR forgot they won weekly matchs by stacking EU-NA timezone?
Or all these SOR people are just newly transfers?

aighty this troll attempt was just lack luster and weak. You gotta be a little better

How about this? During SEA hours, SoR is always in training. During NA hours, SoR is always pulling overtime. :P

Can I get a chuckle from the moderator? Ya gotta admit, this is funny right?

Those are “YOUR” facts.

Why is "blobbing" so looked down upon?

in WvW

Posted by: scootshoot.6583

scootshoot.6583

Whenever I read through my server’s matchup forum thread (T1), there’s always people accusing others of “blobbing,” as if it were a shameful crime. I play this game, for the most part WvW, mainly for its large scale battles. I love it when my server’s “blob” goes against another server’s blob face to face and see armies get decimated. Heck, that’s really the only reason why I play WvW or this game. If I wanted to play smaller scale battles, then I would be playing structured PvP or some other game.

Can someone explain to me why blobbing is such a shameful thing to do? If it’s because it promote “easy play” or “no skill,” so to speak, then by that logic, is it also shameful to be wearing full exotics? Or use siege weapons? Or use hotkeys? Maybe we should be all keyboard turning since using mouse to turn makes it “too easy.” Someone please enlighten me!

Well if you look a little closely it’s really the same posters that are qqing over blobs. It’s more trolling more than anything.

Anet could solve the point differential made by overwhelming SEA numbers is to just turn of the PPT during the overnight hours. Or at least the overnight hours native to that area. Basically when people should generally be sleeping, the points don’t tick..

Would that make people happy? How might the results look then?

Uhh no. This idea has been discussed in past and most of the playerbase is against it.

SOR ticking at 80ppt during NA prime time. What happened to playing for the fights?

Playing for fights and playing the PPT game is not the same thing.

Also SoR is “hiding its strength” and playing badly on purpose so we can recruit more guilds to compete with BG, as this is recognised as the most effective method for mass recruiting on SoR.

Xaoc, russian guild is on our way. They should all transfer by friday. Pitty it’s only half of their force which is 300 members

Is this the part where everyone freaks out and creates a rampage in response to your post? Because this is already something that people have tried to do recently. Troll moar.

Yeah, [IRON] (also) in trolling go for quantity over quality i’d give this a 5/10. They should improve soon now Fact’s .gif ban has lifted.

Aaanyway, a stomped SoR is in pain now. Be good to see if the fairweather players that have not shown up this week, will come back next week or they got too demoralized by this week complete humiliation.

Then they should choose different video as an evidence.

I’m not missing the overall point of original message and I’m not attacking it in any way. I told several times here that I agree with it.

Only thing I got from the OP was it sounded he’s been playing GW2 everyday since release and now is feeling the burnout.

If GW2 was a monthly sub game I’d probably jump on his bandwagon as well. That said, flaws and all, still a pretty good game and have gotten my moneys worth.

Am sure there are thief commanders leading random pugs but there are far better alternatives for serious hardcore guild runs. Am talking guilds that not only participate in WvW but are also heavily into guild vs guild battles.

Here is a pro guild doin their thing, recently retired RG from EU, mowing down a sea of red with far fewer numbers.

Notice the lead tag commander on teamspeak in the front lines directing location positioning and so forth. His followers are following his mark, no way he pulls this off as a thief, lol!

Have to agree. No one likes MMO games that lag.

Two competitors are in the horizon with The Elder Scrolls Online and Camelot Unchained. Some of their early development videos talk specifically about their engines and the ability to keep the FPS up via large player battles. It’s almost as if they are responding to the major player base gripes of GW2, hehe.

both of those game will have subscription fee’s… this one doesnt.
you have to remember that when talking about MMO’s with laggy pvp, even daoc had terrible lag in big battles and that was going strong till wow appeared on the scene.

the fact u get all of the content and pretty kitten good pvp wvw for 1 price is crazy good value for money, it might take longer for fixes because of this but i would rather not spend and extra 120+ quid a year on the chance of quicker fixes.
because lets face it bugs in subscription mmo’s aren’t fixed particularly quickly either.

I would gladly spend 15 euro a month if i get fluid gameplay in exchange and not this piece of mess we have currently.

Indeed. 15 bucks a month? That’s cheaper than a 6pack of beer and a pizza. I’d pay that as well if the performance was on par. We’ll see how TESO and Camelot handles the performance side of things in the very near future.

So..what happened to JQ? For the past few weeks, during Asian timezone from 9-12 pm (GMT+8), Most of the time, we got outmanned buff on 2 BLs ; only 1 BL (mostly JQ BL) and EB that have enough population to face our opponents.

I thought we used to have more population than this?

No idea but based on how close the scores have been from reset night Friday going into Sunday. It seems JQ for those listed timezones and others come out strong for the first few days after reset then tapers off. This has been the trend for the past month or so….

Who knows?

Also based on a post from earlier in this thread, PRO from BG transferred off and are now on JQ? If that’s true, should help JQ further as PRO seem to be active participants of wvw.

With SoR recruiting more and more it’ll be tough for the other two servers to catch up… Especially during EU time. The power in numbers that SoR has is second to none & the imbalance it’s causing will only get worse with time.

Since SoR keeps recruiting more and more in a timezone where they don’t need any more help in, the matchup will end up like EU’s T1 fast.

We just happy you transferred off SOR when you did.

I think the reason it seems like SoR has more people is because they’re just generally more coordinated than BG. They have everyone going after one thing at the same time or they’ll be coordinating hits on several objectives at the same time so it feels like a coverage thing.

I’m starting to notice this more which is why I asked in my previous post hoping some SoR players would be willing to be more open about their server.

While I don’t agree with their posters or their current recruitment stance, I was being sincere when I said as a server, SoR seems leaps and bounds ahead of JQ and BG as far as organization goes.

I mean, sure if you asked me 2-3 weeks ago who was the smallest server, it could be said it was SoR, but now I don’t know if they are the smallest, with a population that seems improved and their already stronger than most organization, it’s becoming quite obvious that BG and JQ aren’t equipped. I mean we admittedly 2v1’d you guys from the get go this match but we simply can’t keep up.

No doubt SOR has great leadership as am sure Bg & JQ does as well. Most of the guys/gals leading the charge are pretty laid back, have yet to hear any of them rage on TS, calling people out, etc. However what helped most back in the day during SOR’s struggles with coverage was the bad apples transferred off. This in itself helped trim the fat of the negative nancy’s, wvw rage quitters, etc. that are prevalent on all servers. Am sure some of the latter transferred to BG, I know for sure a few that transferred to JQ during their heyday in the hopes to be carried.

I have never heard of or seen BT. Someone update us SEA/Oceanic folks pls.

EST (mostly) NA guild. Very solid guild and great folks. Transferred to BG from FA awhile back. Celebrity figure Quenta is in the guild. That about sums it up I think.

Nice. But who is Quenta?

Gasp! Funny dude. Search YouTube. “Respawn Maybe” is one of my favorites.

Swifty..Yes
Bajheera..Yes
Felicia Day..Yes
Athene..Yes
Mercador..Yes
Quenta… WHO??

It’s all good, least you giving him free pub….

I find it funny that it is clear to everyone that there is an issue here and can think of ways to fix it but the people taking our money are completely clueless and obviously don’t care because we are still giving them our money, perhaps the best fix to this issue is to queue up for another game? and leave these fine folks at Anet or whatever company that is actually running the show to THEIR game because that is what it is, THEIR game and everyone else be kitten ed.

While there are are faults with the present WvW system, particularly for lower tiers, how is Anet taking your money? Is there a monthly sub fee?

There aren’t many one time purchase titles that continue to add free content via patches etc. at the rate Anet with Guild wars 2 does.

Don’t know about you but looking at my one time purchased library of games that are presently collecting dust, GW2 has definitely been a good buy …. issues and all ….

Now eat this:

Over all WvW player limit for each server should be equal to the number of WvW players averaged over time of the server with the least WvW population. Transfers to servers with lower average WvW population should be free.

Aim: Equal out WvW population.

Problem solved, you are welcome.

More likely players would just transfer to another game with devs that have a clue how to design matches.

The only “clue” that’s needed is setting up wvw match queues, where the higher populace has to wait for the other servers to meet the queue quota.

Would you be happy with queues? Cause I wager there would be a slew of new threads condoning it.

NA T1 is definitely the best match-up.
I still have nightmares about Huttball.

T1 is best cause you can log on at odd hours and still find lots of fights. Can’t say that for other tiers.

Agreed! Huttball was all whack!

The BG militia follows BT because they believe they will be led to victory you can’t blame BT for that. They have a reputation for being effective. If they didn’t then no one would follow them. The “Rallians” flock to IRON or TW tags for the same reason.

Agreed. No different than other servers. Commanders of each have surely built a reputation amongst rallians by now so they seek them out cause they get things done. Consider it as a show of respect when you see a huge blob of mixed tags, haha.

I remember some new commander on SOR a month ago got us wiped multiple times due to questionable tactics as he kept taking us to the same bridge to be easily flanked over and over. Those of us on teamspeak were cool and chat box was drama free as well. However, on the 3rd wipe he typed in the chat box “Hey where did everybody go?”…. hehehe.
