So out of random curiosity, why does anyone play on SoS? Seems like such a lopsided server. Big off hour population, small NA population. I could see playing NA there because you would always be in a target rich environment, but I haven’t encountered many on SoS that really seem like the type to appreciate that situation.

The server doesn’t have the population to be competitive at higher tiers, and they have this huge off hour population that never fights anyone because no one in these tiers has much of an off hour population.

Seems incredibly boring for the off hour folks.

So USA is real time and the rest of the world is grouped into “off hour” ?

….

this is a NA server. so yes.

Are there any Australian servers?

no, that’s why any time zone other than NA time zones on NA servers are considered “off hour”.

Considered by whom? Not by Australians, New Zealanders, Fijians, Japanese, Singaporeans…

that makes no sense. if i played on a euro server, i would not consider my own time zone prime time. i would realize that the times when i’d be playing would be off hours of the server time.

how hard is that to understand?

I have the clock in GW2 set to local time so don’t even know what server time is as it is entirely irrelevant to me and how I play the game.

I just checked it though and it is set to US west coast time? NA has about five time zones I believe? It is 3:19 PM in Anchorage, and 7:19 PM in New York. Sydney it s 9:19AM in the morning (nice day outside too). So really those playing east coast NA are as much non-prime-time people as they are “off-hour”?

the term prime time (ie. prime time television) usually refers to the time period between late afternoon to late evening. so 3pm to midnight or so. how is 7:19 pm not considered prime time?

Weekend is over. EhmBay will fade but Maguuma usually gets going. Might still be some fun left in the week. Plus with ram mastery starting on Tuesday it should get a little crazy.

o.O

How far down the path of zergling do you have to walk to consider something like Ram Mastery “a little crazy”?

maxing ram mastery asap. so op

rofl sos +695

niceeeee

edit: wow you beat me by like 2 seconds

as this pertains to the next patch, ill repeat here what i already said in the wvw thread.

you know what the real solution to this bloodlust buff is?

make the bloodlust buff npc champs, siege damage, gate/wall hp and defenses for the server that holds the points.

this way, people that care about wvw points will have a reason to take and hold the points, without causing an imbalance of stats.

if you’re going to add a new mechanic into wvw, make it affect wvw related things such as siege, lords and towers/keeps. incentive people to do wvw related things with the new mechanic, for example, getting ready for an attack on a keep, take the points in lake first for 50% extra damage on catapults, or scouted a golem rush on garrison, send teams to take points, for 50% damage reduction on gates, etc etc.

dont give individual players a straight up stat bonus for no reason. its such a terrible idea in so many different ways, nothing good can come out of it.

Aeros.2046:

11. Because it works. If you hate taking arrow carts to the face, then WvW is not for you. I am absolutely unashamed at utilizing whatever the game gives me to win. If you want to be l33t and not use certain game mechanics, by all means. Different strokes and all that.

thats the key there isnt it. what does it really mean to win in wvw? (rhetorical)

Sil.4560:

What’s this sudden hatred of stacks, anyway? I had someone party me the other night and start berating me for roaming with them up. Yes, I’ve killed 25 people just like you and some guards when I hit camps. Problem?

sounds like someones mad that you killed them, regardless of stacks or not. stacks are aok for roaming, just not fc’s

There were 5 other build sites that we blew up, too. Not to mention the 3 sup ACs and the ballista on the wall.

I get that you were probably trolling us, but it’s honestly saddening that EBay is incapable of fighting both in the open field and without siege. One of the most boring matchups ever. Hopefully next week we get matched up with a server who fields more than one GvG guild and has some semblance of skill.

Texans to the Mexican Army – Battle of the Alamo: Stop it – stop it. No fair – you’re using cannons and guns and stuff. That’s no fair. If you can’t fight in the open field, naked and with only knives – you suck.

Germans to the Allies – WWII: Stop it – stop it. No fair – you’re using bombers and grenades and stuff. That’s no fair. If you can’t fight in the open field with only a stick in your right hand and butter knife in your left hand with no body armor and only in the daylight hours – you suck.

Silly – isn’t it?

Stop boohooing you elitest kittens. If it’s in the game – it’s fair.

Either figure out how to deal with it or hop back onto Super Mario Brothers – either way – stop the QQ. You’re making the server look bad.

how exactly did you come to the conclusion that he thinks its unfair? that not what he said.

Sick. So glad EBay is in this matchup.

We have 18 people, btw.

Lol wow, I think building open field siege every once in awhile is not a bad thing but in every picture you guys posted there is an AC or Ballista. That’s just ridiculous!

And then you guys take EK, and put up 4 superior ACs by lords T.T

Defending a tower or keep with siege is completely different than open field siege if that’s what you were saying.

you had what.. 50 by lords against 18 people. really need 4 sup acs to kill it?

you’d actually want shorter stun durations with a confusion build, for more interrupts

spam mace stun at 1 bar etc.

i would also switch to poison sigils on swap. its key to any condi build.

Tricare.2946:

This topic is losing to the SoR/TC/SoS topic… was expecting much more out of u “forum entertainers”, this is such a let down.

Last Mag + BP thread was just a bunch of boring borderline RP trying to get the thread to 20 posts and a lot of BP chest-thumping about how “we would roll Mag if the third server in the matchup was more even.”

Hardly impressive.

We got like 21 or 22 pages. And it was a challenge! I never back down from a challenge.

I guess we’ll see about the rest

The thread sucked. Last 5 pages comprised of a certain attention seeker begging for posts to validate something or other and congratulating themselves on a long bad thread.

you should be getting clovers as you try to get T6 from mystic forge anyways. getting clovers is by far one of the easiest parts of getting a legendary, aside from the badges of honor.

the only place golems should be is off cliff

Furiousbeard.7602:

Hmm sounds interesting. How does one prepare to join in on this “parade of dolyaks”?

make warrior, buy green/brown dye, buy rifle, killshot

in World 2-2, you bomb a hole at the raccoon kingpin, you fall into a cave where you can ‘contemplate’ on a flower, which gives you the message “you learned gatekeepers lullaby”

then the npc says “left right right forward forward”

theres also the numbers 332331 on the ground.

there is a giant door thats closed. anyone what is going on or how to open the door?

bradderzh.2378:

We, the people of lower tiers, don’t mind testing our metal against tough odds. We do however mind it when the servers with the most players and best coverage gets the best rewards purely for the numbers reason only.

But as you said in another topic, wvw isn’t fair. All rank 12 has to do is throw enough matches to drop to rank 13 and get the best rewards.

So, as I’ve said before, we are still looking into ways to try and alleviate those problems, but that is also what WvW is like right now, so while this season will create new rewards and new incentives to play, it isn’t as though this is a brand new problem. We want to make it so that skill is more important than sheer numbers and we have some ideas. None of them are so easy/safe to implement that they are going to happen in the near-term.

the best incentive to play is by fixing the population imbalances first. THEN go about making a reward system for wvw competition.

you’re going about it backwards.

i feel like i missed so much drama since half the posts were deleted.

why would you run into the camp to get out of combat? you run to either river

The camp was ours. It wouldn’t have mattered where I went they would have killed me anyway (there were about 7ish of them? and one of me). Or kept me in combat. Regardless, discussion over, issue dealt with – nothing to see here.

5 of us and no we would not have killed you if you were there to duel.

Why else would I have been there? lol Thought it was a fight club, not a stand around and watch club… It would have been nice if I could get a few other people to come so we could 5v5… but not much interest apparently.

you would be surprised at the number of people that refuse to fight at fight clubs.

or better yet, refuse to fight without the 4min elite cooldowns up.

felixdacat.3804:

Niim.9260:

Why do people in zerg guilds think they should get a free pass when they do not want to fight? Like your guild doesn’t run over every solo up-level they meet all night long.

Right, because I’m in a larger, organized guild I am never entitled to run by myself to do anything. Ever. This coming from a server that relies on massive numbers to do… anything and everything. Probably took 20 of you to come up with that response.

thats some bad comprehension skills, you completely missed his point.

he’s saying when you’re running in a zerg, either with your guild or just in general, does the zerg leave every solo player they encounter? the answer is no.

why would you run into the camp to get out of combat? you run to either river

kittensake, I didn’t know there were rules in WvW, why didn’t anyone tell me these things!?! Here I thought it was red=dead, wipe or get wiped.

Gosh maybe you should talk to your fellow server buddies. Maybe one night this week won’t be filled with DB complaining about mag guilds banding together to wipe your queues.

are you a wizard?

AnonBackStabber.8536:

I suspect this bug has something to do with completing Clockwork Chaos (CC) with dailies, then it no longer increments sub-achievements like Invasion Canceler (IC). I completed CC with IC at 12/13, and in 8 portal runs since (all run for 40+ minutes, 3 defeating Scarlet) it has not incremented from 12 – tried 3 different characters…

this also happened to me, but i’ve done ALL zones multiples times now, still at 12/13.

anet needs to figure this fiasco out, and come up with an acceptable solution asap.

Hey! Here’s a better idea! Let’s make a post every time they wipe us!

1001, 1002, 1030…….

Pipe down and play the game.

Hey evalakittenp it. not your business. And your numbers are wrong. AGG has had a hard time getting those coveted wipes of rb in the last couple weeks.

Part of their secret to not getting wiped to AGG is they use stability to counter the cc from all the hammers, and boon strip to clear the retaliation. WvW 101.

the secret is to run with atleast 60. the rb leader has openly admitted to this.

Aeros.2046:

Unlike most commanders, I am not really interested in the idea of epic battles of 1 on 1 skill. GvG, 15 vs. 15, with samurai swords at dawn. Instead, I follow the mantras of two of the best American military leaders. Nathan Bedford Forrest, and Douglas MaCarthur. They give two, very witty but poignent words of wisdom for any aspiring military leaders.

When asked about how he managed to beat the Union so much, Forrest responded simply. “I gets thar firstest with the mostest”.

When asked how to drive the Japanese from the South Pacific, MaCarthur proclaimed “Hit them where they ain’t.”

If I am on the field, I am not trying to test my 1 on 1 PvP skills. I am trying to beat you. That means taking towers, holding them, and wiping your zergs utilizing whatever resources I have at my disposal.

Yes, we did outnumber AGG and others in most of those fights, freely admitted. Also freely admitted, this was 100% intentional. No commander in his right mind would not utilize a numbers advantage, and any commander that did is not worth his hat.

you should transfer to JQ, you’ll fit right in there

Would be nice if Odinzu could control his guildies when they’re spectating GvGs. Every single time there’s at least one or two thieves ganking spectators and several other members joining in when we finally retaliate. Yet EP wants to be taken seriously as a guild.

next time EP thieves start ganking spectators, every single spectator will jump into the gvg in progress to ruin it.

dont do it, or enjoy not having gvgs anymore

This one wasn’t one EP was participating in, though. I don’t think we should ruin other peoples’ matches because of EP.

was talking if EP was participating in the gvg

so much kitten…

1) “underhanded tactics” wow, spying is a part of the game, get over it. FoE spied all the friggin time. it is what it is, I guess i expected better from a guild like AGG

2) overpower commands? If any guild is good enough, you don’t need 1 commander to ALWAYS be there talking 24/7, everyone should be good enough to know what they need to be doing regardless of who is leading.Not a guild. it was the public TS, So AGG was admitting they feared our pugs

3) If I had a guild of 30-45, I would quit 15v15s too.blah…blah..blahh….chest thump…blah..blah..why ..should..I ..care ..about ….blahhhh….FOE???!?!??!

blah.. blah rb hate..blah..

I’m not in rb.

If that is all you got from my post.. I fear for humanity.

Soooo you are judging all of humanity based on limited contact with me over an internet forum? This contact is also dependent on you inserting yourself into something that completely does not involve you.

Agg vs EP gvg from their stream. Congrats EP!

It’s safe to assume that you focus firing [Agg]’s elementalists/mesmers is like cutting their lifeline.

regardless, that ele has poor awareness, and misreads the flow of the battle numerous times. resulting in getting caught out of position and leaving yourself to get focused in the first place.

having said that, EP did a fine job of highlighting the #1 weakness of hammer trains, or frontline heavy comps: tunnel vision on glorious leader.

i really wish drep would start gvging again, i think our comp atm is a step ahead of the game, as in the same EP comp would have alot more trouble against it than a comp like what agg runs.

Wait a minute. If D3 sold 3.5M in 1 day and GW2 sold 3M in 9 months, how can they claim GW2 to be the fastest selling MMO of all time? Does D3 not count as a MMO?

Anyway, there was a simple overlook that I’m surprised wasn’t brought up for GW2. As Dramen Maidria said about D3, “Diablo 3 sold copies based off of the franchise history”, that is very much was GW2 did. They had the fanbase/playerbase and reputation from the first GW.

I think if Blizzard were to come out with a ‘sequel’ to WoW, ANet’s record would be blown out of the water.

D3 supports up to 4 players. how does anyone consider that ‘massively multiplayer’?

Night Shift [NS] crew was a little disappointed that [PYRO] and [DERP] couldn’t GvG us tonight. We were also looking forward to it since it’s the last day of the week where we can set up GvGs! However, the next time we come across Maguuma again, we hope you guys would be ready by then. (:

I saw 8 and got all excited thinking it was going to be 8 est, then someone said it was 8 server time and everyone said kitten it. Maybe a little earlier next time.
