Israel.7056 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 If we can get some offprime coverage maybe we can stay in t2 but as it is we just lose everything overnight every night and wake up to everything t3 so it takes all day just to try to reset things just to lose it overnight again.

You can call it "coverage", but I have a very different word for it. It's called being tired in my case. I always take Thursdays and Fridays off, helps me maintain my sanity when playing this game.

You can call it "coverage", but I have a very different word for it. If you seriously believe Mag would start tanking after seeing that Kaineng would be dropping to t3 this week, there's no reason trying to explain anything to you. I'm sure you also believe Mag losing two of it's more formidable fight guilds just recently was also just a part of their master plan to tank. Mag is no longer the Mag that farmed your bags a couple months ago, it's time to let go of whatever hard-on you have for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonNeonite.1048 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 The only problem I have is, when your server gets bandwagoned and you end up in T1 until the end of the relink. T1 means you just have one new server every week, most of the same servers every other week, it gets quite boring, because no other servers can or tries to push for T1 and there is only one server that tryhards ppt in T1 now.

Evidently the other two are taking a page from BG circa 2015-2017. And maybe BG is taking a page from all the others who couldn't bother to PPT and move up to T-1. Would honestly like to see BG tank next week to let one of the others go have some fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sovereign.1093 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 you know if enemy comes to take your stuff and you have a team, then by defending you get fights and if they stay and bunker in their towers, then by breaking in will get you fights. if everyone simply wants open field, then msg each other for some blob v blob v blob action. =) but if you cant fight the enemy blob, it is ok that you back out. is normal. dont worry about it.

That's because that's actually the WVW design and ment to ktrain that way :\ Things are not important in WvW, loose and cap gives more rewards , its a game mode with no progression feeling actually wich is the reason players behave like that. Still if one side is blobbing that only happens cause the other side has fewer players, players dont go actually to WvW to fight, just to ktrain, and bail out or change to a empty map..... The game mode it is broken at its core values... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For each tier, the middle server will tend to get stuck, and the #1 and #3 will tend to bounce constantly between their natural tier and the neighbor tier. I would expect the players to quickly realize that fact, then fall into a pattern of off-weeks and on-weeks where a majority would avoid the match following a 1-up that pushes them into a guaranteed curb-stomp loss. Counterpoint, of course, would be the karma train swap meet for the guaranteed win week. That’s what happens now, just less frequently. > 1-up-1-down can work in competitions with 2 opponents per match. The third opponent is why it won’t work here. Furthermore, it gives no real weight to historical performance, and so it is too volatile. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
