Intelligently Designed Realm Ranking System for WvW

in WvW

Sorry zerging is what arenanet has wanted, this game will die slowly. It’s free so the death will be slow. But, it will still die. The game promotes zerging, afaik there is no group mechanic of sharing loot or exp karma etc.. So they would need to recode some type of party splitting method. Sadly. I think this is not something they can do, unless it’s an expansion.I suspect an expansion might bring the stuff we want. But, it’s gonna be awhile.

This game hates guilds like us forthegz, they like the Zerg guilds and goonsquads and ruins where numbers = winning. There will never be a place for small man pvp in WvW, before someone else says it.. " go play spvp" because that’s the responses you’re gonna get, beyond the idiot like responses you’ve already received.

2 Things i'd change

in WvW

Posted by: willwill.9318

willwill.9318

1. Names of players in WvW be an option to turn on and off. If i want to display my name i can, i know the reason to not allow the names is so noobs don’t get trashed for being bad. But what’s the difference? So now their guild gets trashed because they are bad?

2. DAOC style progression of ranks.

We are winning WvW by 30k, with all 3 orbs, and it’s only going to get worse until we go back against HOD and SB on friday. So what’s the point in pvp’n? Spawning more golems at the CD and IOJ’s spawn?

Seriously? Yawn

Out or range, cooldown?

willwill.9318

So, i’ve noticed if you are out of range and use mirror blade or Phant.Berserker the illusions do not spawn and the spell goes on cool down, is this working as intended? I don’t think myself that it’s fair for it to work like this… Thoughts?

lol @ ET/SB teaming up… we didn’t team up. I don’t care how many times you wanna say we did, we didn’t. Both ET and SB primetime guilds and server itself are better than hod’s. It’s just a fact. Your offpeaks are WAY better than our undermanned bufffed people.

We can’t compete. If every match was a primetime or weekend match, HOD would be #3 or even #4

Mr. Ferguson, i respectfully ask that you go back to 24 hour matches. Things as you say are in the works behind the scenes that actually require code work, which if i understand correctly. That’s at least 3-4 weeks away, instead of wasting 5 days on most matchups that don’t matter. Can we go back to 24 hour matches until you tidy everything up?

And i’m on ET, i know we will win this week. But, its not fun after the first 24 hours when we play tier 2

WvWvW will only attract the casuals and nobody will take it all seriously, this is why they refer to “Spvp” as “hardcore” and Wuvwuvwuv as casual.

Little did they know, wvw is actually played by the more hardcore, than Spvp is, after all. Who cares about battleground pvp? (i know wvw is a battleground too) . But that all being said. A real pvp’er will play WvW for random pvp encounters of the roaming kind, vs the PRESET arena pvp

Some of it is true, the beginning stuff.. and yes for the most part the first 72 hrs decides the winner, because after that the strongest offpeak wins.

Roaming pvp is more skill based than spvp or PVP zerging. Sorry, it just requires more fast thinking that spvp.

I called it a long time ago, people would say " you just want the game the way you want it" “screw what other people want” threads galore. No reason to pvp when the score is out of hand, etc.. etc.. I called it WEEKS AND WEEKS ago.

If there was a DAOC realm rank system this wouldn’t be happening, however the oceanic problems would still exist at the core.

The quality of players on ET i think far outweighs any other server but HOD, hod and ET honestly are very very much on the same par. It’s just a matter of what the #3 team does that decides who wins. hod or ET.There has only been one competitive match between the 2 where ET fully tried to win, and they lost by very little

willwill.9318

Just remember Ruin is basically the pugs with TS, they add almsost any unguilded player.So while you may see the tag “ruin” you might have also seen the forest grove protectors in DAOC, same thing just a guild for all the pugs. Now, i am sure some of the players there are decent players and their leader keeps them in line decently well. Remember that random guy in daoc rvr group chat that lead everyone? that’s basically Archaos . So deciding not to transfer to ET because of ruin is kinda ignorant considering we have very few “pugs” it’s either RUIN, or AA or some of the other random smaller guilds that pvp, and believe it or not, everyone is pretty much attuned to what’s going on except the very small puggers

If you play from 6pm est till 12am est, you aren’t needed on ET. We have multi hour queues during real matches, which this week is not.

If you want to try and play from 2am till like 3pm, then be sure to transfer over, we always needs daytimers and overnighters

If you’re looking for a guild. i believe almost all guilds are recruiting, obviously some have stricter guidelines than others.Some are newer guilds, some are older school guilds.

From Team Legacy, to LOTD, to FOE to Darkhand.

Below is a list of a few websites if oceanic players are interested.

FOH= www.fohguild.org
DDH = http://the-darkhand.com
TL=teamlegacy.net
LOTD= www.lotd.org
RUIN = http://www.ruinnation.com/

Thesse are just a few of the top guilds on the server.

Eredon Terrace, has a pretty staggering record, next to HOD we haven’t lost to anyone else, we are consistently the #2 realm, and that’s because when we all left our original server we lost many good oceanic guilds and players. I’d like to cordially invite good Oceanic Guilds that are full WvW dedicated, to come on over to ET… Our Zones aren’t overloaded (except level75+), so fast leveling and good oceanic queues are ready for you. Besides, don’t you want to be #1?

WvW Suggestions & Website Statistic Suggestions

willwill.9318

1. World vs World is nice and all, but i think there should be a rank system implemented… Let’s just say 12 ranks, each ranks takes a certain amount of “kill points” to obtain, kill points are obtained much like how the loot bags are sometimes dropped and sometimes not, and split accordingly amongst the solo person or “group” that was in on the kill. Let’s make that kill point start at 1024 and go down for example… 5 people do all the dmg to the player kill. 1024 divided by 5. Now, support in the group would also get automatic credit because the kill was done with the dmg from the group, even if they didn’t cast a spell.

12 ranks, each rank has an xxxx amount that counts. You could even go Rank 1.1 rank 1.2 etc.. The bonuses and or “abilities” you get for each rank would change based on whatever was implemented, These abilities would only work in WvW thus making balancing not that important for PVE or not at all in spvp. You can refer to a darker age of gaming.. so to speak on how to implement this system properly without being called plagiarists.

2. A website with up to date information with WAR scores, between each server.Statistics even which guild owns what keep etc… I understand currently you want WVw TO BE COMPLETELY player anonymous so individual stats might not be something you’re willing to do. But i think you should. I want to know who the best WvW elementalist is on my server etc..

Is WvWvW for casuals?

in WvW

Posted by: willwill.9318

willwill.9318

The problem is, to the person with the pet peeve is… Arenanet feels the same way Spvp is for the hardcore and WvW for the casuals., i think they have done everything they could to make it so.. no kill spam, no player names, and very little person information on who you’re fighting.. I think there isn’t even skin changes right?

It’s carebear central out there in WvW

And see it’s exactly the opposite in reality.

Spvp is far more casual as it takes no real effort to get into it. You just queue up, you’re given a spec, and gear, no cost other than time, no investment in your character.

You don’t have to level, spend time gathering resources, or gold. Yet Arenanet considers spvp to be “hardcore” pvp and designed wvw around being casual friendly?

Just because something is said, doesn’t make it true. You can go into WvW and end up penniless, and naked. How is that casual?

We both know that, we are both on ET and we both know what we want and what we expect. Unfortunately it’s up to Arena net to fix, but i doubt it will happen.
