we could use the pvp q so both sides has atleast the minimum number. in the least it would be fair

my guess its because of new living story and resource allocation in prepr for it.

hope we get our fix

finalizing 7pm at gmt+8 is actually 11am server time. sorry for the miscalculation

would give this a go

wvw is for afk then? hehe. athletes get a gold medal. for the glory. fighting for server. recognition.

this 8s what is missing.

in other conpet games. ratings. not all have the same skills but always based on game mechan

na too lags me out. i experience a lot of rewind forward effect. really sucks in big battles.

> As for OP, surely, balance has been a problem right now and of course you can counter anything you're fighting. The real problem you're not solving with this thread however is that everyone is encouraged to play the pirateship meta. You're speaking of ways to counter? well, playing pirateship and spawning scourges and spellbreakers to oppose enemy is the counter you'd be speaking of here. Except you're too late to figure this out because everyone else already has.

sor fell because they could not break the 8 x 10 man squad hitting all things so they lost ppt which resulted to loss of morale.

ppt wise it broke the sor zerg. which usually just blobed back then.

we made it happen by tactics, planned it, and executed it when sor fought my old na server at tourneys.

what i am saying here a skillled player will adapt to what works and make iteratjons to be better. this is limited by game mechanics.

tourneys can bring life to wvw again by giving players a goal purpose.

> I've asked on here for some WvW advice before (might have been old forums), and the info I got was really useful in helping me get started with WvW. So I'm hoping I can get a bit more advice from you all on the following to help me try and understand a bit more.

>

> 1) Far as I can tell the WvW ability points are just awarded each time you increase your WvW level? So is there any optimal/recommended way to boost levels quickly in WvW to get these? Or is it just a case of load up on every WvW exp booster I can find and just keep doing what I've been doing? (mainly I just follow a comm/zerg and do what they ask/are doing).

>

> 2) I'm quite keen to get autoloot, then after that some of the advanced gliding ones. Once those are done, as someone who mainly follows a comm/zerg I assume I'm best focusing on supply & repair related ones for contributing to things, rather than the siege weapon, arrow cart ones etc?

>

> 3) Are there any WvW maps available anywhere which show the location names in the shorthand/nicknames that players refer to them as in chat? I often see things like "help needed at hills" or "blob at borderlands cliffside" (or something like those terms) etc, and I never have a clue where these people are talking about. I can never see any place labelled on my map that matches what they call out, so I assume it's some sort of WvW shorthand for places, but I've no idea where. Half the time I'm honestly not even sure they are talking about the same map I'm in! (map chat covers all WvW maps?) Sometimes they've even said x borderlands/map, and I don't even see that as one of the ones I can select in the WvW menu, so all the location stuff confuses the hell out of me. So if there's a map out there with location names based on what players commonly refer to them as then that would be really useful for me.

>

> 4) Lastly, far as I can gather from the wiki, the timer at the top is a 2hr skirmish, and those points go to the weekly score of the server in the match? But I can't see any mention of if there's any relevance/bonus to winning a skirmish, or for the server being top at the end of the 'match'/week. Is it just for server bragging rights? Or is there actually a bonus/benefit/buff that players who participated receive as well?

1.guild may assist you by guild buffs to increase wxp bonus for your levels. eotm or following a zerg will get you there fast.

2. go for provisions trait first. adds extra for gaining wvw stuff. then siege bunker. then ac and cata mastery.

3. most are shortcuts, like nec northeast camp. instead of names since they are always at the same part of the map.

4. wvw's meaning is up to you. for now because we have no tournaments its just another dungeon but with npc and players as enemy. you gain some by defending structures, killling enemiss or capturing stuff.

for more info, check metabattle.com or wvw wiki. they are more in depth

game mechanics gone wrong i guess. i have met nothing but nice players in nsp. sure we kill enemies if we can but isnt this wvw a pk area?

hehe.

if every try it again. i command there when i am able. =) sea,au,ocx,eu. and the na guys i know are pretty welcoming.

nsp isn't so bad. =)

it's great.

1. yes.

2. based on anet algorythm.

the old home server thing should be changed into mega servers for wvw under 3 factions and multiple borderland instances. hehe.

> @Veprovina.4876 said:

> So if i want to play with a friend, either of us needs to transfer a server?

if you want to be allies, yes. else, you will be allies at one point and enemy in another. or neither.

but in pve its ok

> Re: tournies. I've heard multiple devs say in TS that the reason they haven't done any more tournaments is they saw a decline in population after the tournaments due to player burn-out. That's all. While I personally would love to see a tourny again, I'm not touching this game until they properly balance the classes, do something about power creep, and address the condition issues and would rather see that done first.

wvw continuous to have no meaning until they touch this topic again including the bugs.

wvw should matter like before, assisting in bonuses of the home. etc.

in the end it will be one winner in each tier.

you have home server and links. links change. homeservers do not. therefore you have static allies and those that change depending on them being with you on a home server or a link.

when i play, game stops sometimes at certain wvw borders that either result to dc or rewind forward slow motion type.

been like this recently.

any idea how to fix? not onlt me experience it.

no =). i can understand how you guys may fear trying. but arena net is wrong.

Unlike real life where we pick ourselves up from the ashes, in online games the corporate interest just pulls the plug and scraps the project as “not worth the investment” and launches a new product in hopes, that the new product will succeed, where the old one couldn’t.

=) its ok to disagree.

no =) this is this and that is that. we will know if we have tourns. right now wvw is just a husk

To know, they have to try it. for now wvw has no meaning.
