> No it wouldn't. I love these threads everytime they pop up. So you close BG and force the guilds to leave. Okay so the guilds on BG communicate and collectively move to the new server. Tada you have the same problem. Stop blaming Blackgate for your collective issues on your server. Blackgate invests in its WvW community. I have seen tons of other servers that don't do this. You want to hate on BG fine do so, in actuality we have lost 4 WvW guilds in the past 3 months. 2 due to its main driver either taking a break or that they no longer play. The other 2 transferred off due to BG being closed and being unable to recruit new players for their guilds. We have been manually closed for the longest time. Mag has actually proven time and time again that they can beat us, I've seen it first hand. They just refuse to PPT which is part of the game mode (claiming and defending objectives). All they want to do is open field fight, and they also intentionally tank out of T1 because there are easier fights to win in T2. Its just so great that all these other servers main problem is BG being too good. When its not, you can actually invest in your WvW community build it up and stop being super toxic towards players, and you might actually get somewhere. The current match up of YB and SoS has been great because they are two servers who its true do not have the entire presence BG has and I will admit that, but they also play the kitten game mode which is PPT and Fighting. If you want to be better than BG go out and do something about it, don't just sit there and whine that BG needs to be closed.

This... being on a linked server we are always told not to pin up but that doesn't matter much to me.

If someone pins up and says "we're just looking for fights", I start repairing walls or whatever to farm pips.

Yesterday I watched them loose a T3 SMC over a paper tower because they wanted bags. Then spent the next 4 hours at failing to get SMC back, lol.

Everytime I see one, I pm them saying "Welcome to Glitch Wars 2".

That's a loaded question. Lots of variables. Server activity, the amount of time you play and what activities you are doing.

An example for me if there a lot of fights to be had(zerging), 4-6 hours a day you can cap in 2 days.

World colors change so you would need all 3. Not bad if you don't lose the current one. They could make one that auto change with your current world maybe.

Don't know. I crash no matter what zone even doing story. Stopped playing it.

I understand your point. Mine was relative WvW being agonizing to play. Play on words per say...

Besides the annoying USB Driver crashes that I annoyingly cannot get rid of, the last week I have been experiencing and increase of ping and fps drop.

Normally I run 25-40 ping and 15-40 fps depending on location.

Currently I'm setting at 150 ping and fluctuations to 250 standing in one area, doesn't matter location and averaging 5-8 fps.

Pretty much unplayable...

Speed test results give me 50mbps down and 5mgbps up.

Max out your tickets for the week and go play PvE until reset. Enjoy...

I think if they got rid of the Vista on that hill no one would have a reason to go up there anymore.?

Uummm... sarcastic remark.

We will have huge Maintenance done tomorrow, lol.

We need to have pew pew range increased on all skills to 1500 and have knock backs unlockable and affect 50 targets!!!

But did they move it?

Yeah there was the ominous threat that if we voted out DBL permanently WvW would see no new maps in the future. So there's that...

Edit: Since that poll there has been no mention of them working on another map. So there's that too, lol.

Explain this part "If you are the business owner, you can take it a step further and try giving the customer discounts and guarantees for future visits."

Why are you even feeding someone that doesn't even play this game anymore?

Hmmmm... have Agony put on us for entering WvW. Sounds about right.

3 of same map again, no. I would take EotM map any day over DBL.

I only go there when we have WP's to get the gathering nodes.

If you're running with a guild and using their recommend build, you should be asking them. Other than that, spam everything, lol.

We used to have a sticky with a good explanation. It didn't get moved over.

Trying to subvert the game mode into something that it was not intended to be is also killing it because players leave when they don't get what they want.

Match reward win needs to be better but then the "Sever stacking" issue will raise it's ugly head, which that fault lyes on both sides.

I just read the poll and not many of the responses, lol.

2 game modes were left out. PvP/WvW.

The 3rd part "No prior announcement" and it's not required to be every relink. It can happen whenever they choose. Also on the stacking issue, they can see transfers happening and isn't this the premises for linked servers, to help populate main host? If this happens to a host, they could lose possibilities of links.

I'm not saying it won't happen but this is just for discussion purpose. KDR is not a scoring factor. You can bomb hell out of everyone if you want but you need to stop and stomp them before they die.

Again you are pushing the server stacking issue that is completely irrelevant to what I'm asking about!!!
