Guild Wars 2

1. Stronger breakouts for when you are losing a mismatch.

2. World Messages (like the ones for scarlet) to encourage people to play when queues are empty and your BL needs help.

3. Big WXP bonuses for outmanned

4. Reduce the map cap

5. Remove the concept of servers from PVE. Make all zones overflows. Like districts in GW1. Then population can just be based on WVW.

Same situation. I played elementalist, switch to staff support build and stopped having fun when roaming or playing with small pick up groups.

I created a warrior and am having a great time. My elementalist will be for organized play and my warrior will be for solo/pug.

You will want the trait for speed boost when wielding mele. Not as fast as elementalist but better than no perma speed.

Hello.

EBay (and others servers in the rank 8-12 range) have no hope of winning the league. I understand and accept that.

The bigger problem is the system where each server plays each other server. That means we will probably be facing servers ranked 1-6 servers each week.

Would you consider a ladder system where winning servers play each other and losers play each other? Even fights are more fun than unbalanced fights, for everyone involved.

(I like the current random system, but it would be nice to have a smaller range of possible opponents without eliminating the random all together)

Do Crystal Desert players ever sleep?

They sleep when you are awake.

EB, may you land gracefully in your descent (may it be much softer than AR’s).

EB will be fine. We fought TC, DB, FA. Some folks liked the action and transferred. Others will be happy when we return to T4. Even during this match, there are time that we are ahead PPT.

Luvpie.8350:

Let’s not bring up our oceanics again we all knew the outcome of the matchup. I am surprised about the NA timezone though. EB was a lot stronger last time we met them with CD or TC I think. I am not sure how 1 guild leaving has hurt them so much.

We are weaker than before. More than one guid left. We aren’t seeing the number of players that we saw 3 or 4 weeks ago.

BP hasn’t faced DB TC FA yet, so go easy on then when they call you out for oceanics. If they continue to put these numbers on the battlefield, they will get a chance!

Aeros.2046:

Its a shame how BP and Ehmry have to keep fighting each other rather then SoS.

This morning, BP attacks our garrison with numbers, while SOS was already inside!

It would be nice for EB + BP to work against SOS but I don’t think that’s going to happen.

CD is showing strong numbers. EB seems to be on defense more than avoiding fights with CD from what I have seen.

Personally, I would rather “troll” a camp and fight players than take undefended towers for PPT.

CD should probably be ranked > EB. We gained some of our points fighting servers on their way down. We just don’t have coverage or numbers to compete T2 or even T3.

eithinan.9841:

I have been solo roaming and everytime i would see a small group they all would engage and gank me :*( Hopefully you will allow 1v1’s later in the week. that is the only way I like to play WvW. Ebay’s population is too high if you can waste 3-10 peoples time on this little solo roamer. Hopefully it will get better later on in the week.
edit: sarcasm

Sorry if people from EBay are ganking you. You might try traveling in larger groups. DB might have a few larger groups on the map.

Deyja.6745:

Hopefully there are some more 1-2 man roamers from DB/EB later in the week.

Our small group of 2-4 was pretty frustrated. Every time we found a small group and engaged, more and more would come until we were overwhelmed. Got rolled by large TC groups in DB and TC BL’s. Hopefully it will get better later in the week.

CoF Warrior? I was out with a level 14 alt warrior alt.

EBay typically has a strong reset weekend, but things slow down during the week, especially in non-NA times.

We had a pretty long queue on home borderland. I don’t think eternal was queued most of the night. Not sure about the other BL.

Question for you guys. How large are your groups? It’s hard to count and I am not sure if things are exaggerated or if you really have 40/50 people together.

CoF normally runs about 8 but we groups with GF and were running about 25 with a few extras tagging along.

What if they created a “24×7” league for the top 6 servers from NA and EU. Do they have good enough coverage around the clock for the matches to be fun?

It was fun for us when we fought T2 servers, but it was probably dull for their non-NA players who had nobody to fight.

Insane Pancakez.9182:

Woooooo, got DB garrison. That was fun. I was scared you were all about to port in haha.

SoS should go take the right side of that map!

The problem with the rating system is that SoR may not be interested in keeping enemies at 10 PPT 24/7. That’s really not fun for either side. Similar circumstance may exist with FA and BP.

Gliko assumes a fairly stable performance level from each opponent. Win-Up-Lose-Down is not the solution because there is too much chaos.

Systems that might work better would be accumulated victories or accumulated score differentials.

Based on the C# code from Snowreap. This code doesn’t contain the monte carlo simulations. It does scrape the current ratings from the leaderboard. It also shows the range of possible random match ratings for each server.

The winning server should roll [0,1] instead of [-1,1].
