Ok, then who do we bribe to make sure no one fights them, ~~ever, for the next 8 weeks?~~ Cause that's basically a free win ~~each~~ this week unless the other 2 servers always agree (and stick to it) to only attack the 4-strong alliance. Wonder how this could have been avoided.... oh, maybe ditching links until we're ready to just go to the Alliance System anyway? {edit}-- Oh, the weekly reset, not the Links reset... ok, that's not as bad. Sorry to those in that matchup, but maybe you all double team the 4-link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go make the best of the situation you find yourself in. Except of course 10 servers and 3 tiers are affected. 2 servers didn’t get their link in T1 and T4. T3 is a cluster**** with red / blue hopelessly outmanned and green with nothing to do because of q or so little resistance (both sides of t3 match so can see how bad it is for green and blue) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shazmataz.1423 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Listening to comments from people, they were looking forward to doing some wvw since they had extra time over the holidays....guess they are feeling pretty disappointed right now. This response from Anet does nothing but make wvw seem more neglected and disregarded. Not just my thoughts but the thoughts of many of my wvw friends.

Blackarps.1974 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Just another reason why we need the new system in place, ASAP. The fact there are technical limitations just proves this. I'd rather just have a full reset with everything correct than this mess we are dealing with. Guilds having to transfer just so they can play due to Anet's error is just sad.

Not just my thoughts but the thoughts of many of my wvw friends. This is exactly it in my case... I got approximately 25 days off work all year up to this point and Monday I start a 7 day! Vacation.

MysticKatz.1708 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Hopefully they are all enjoying their vacation while the majority of the WvW group will not be able to enjoy their free time to play, except YB server.... of course, they were over stacked last time we matched with them, and now they have taken it to a whole new level.

It really isn't fun on either side, however it is very clear that Anet is certainly not concerned about the WvW based players.

And I am happy to see them get a link, their small (er) wvw community has been through hell these last few months to a year losing about 7 guilds and being locked for 2 years straight, no new players. Hell even on the small window of a mistake opening a few months ago, Agg moved over and they left cause they couldn't get their people in... Lolz... Please stop. BG was stacked and closed for ages and never lost until, I think it was JQ and SBI stacked, doubled up and beat them one week (cant be stuffed looking back to make sure who it was). When that happened BG started to bleed and lose.... why? Oh yeah because BG had transferred themselves full of players who just wanted to be in T1 and win.

When that happened BG started to bleed and lose.... why? Oh yeah because BG had transferred themselves full of players who just wanted to be in T1 and win. Actually it was when KN got their 3 links and SoS had their link so a 5v1 was great fun, they had already lost their guilds and still remained locked. And people had transferred to BG 6 years ago... being locked for nearly the last 3 aside from the small window of opportunity that had zero impact on that server. Seems like a lot of people are just pissy they have a stronger base than most servers, its been years. So please stop trying to make it about being 1 single servers fault for everything wrong with wvw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yender.4912 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 @"Gaile Gray.6029" Appreciate the update, and all things considered I think it's fair that it will take a week to address. Only concern I have is there has allegedly been a large influx of players switch servers to one of these linked servers with YB, and if not taken into account the server that gets linked with that server may be overpowered subsequently. I am not sure about the details, but I think its something that may need to be looked at before the problem is addressed to prevent any other further complications. Thanks again, Yender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had taken a break for years from this game, perhaps it is time for another one. Not that anyone outside the matchup would have been paying atention, but if you check the recent history you'll see that last time YB played SoS YB was destroyed by SoS in what was effectively a two-team match, the third being SoR, which was in total freefall. As a YB player I would say that being overrun for a week and barely owning anything was more fun than this week's reversal. Obviously the ideal would be something in the middle. At least my EBay account got relinked from YB this time so I have an alternative. I strongly suspect that this week is a foretaste of things to come when (if) the Alliance system comes. It may work in fits and starts but between errors and mistakes, the eight week turnaround and players' inevitably finding ways to game the system, I foresee many bad weeks.

Malafaia.8903 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Oh, hey, we fucked up big time, it's a critical error, really. Just wait one week and we'll fix it. That's sad. Really sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farout.8207 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Technical limitations, lol. Don't insult our intelligence, just call it what it is. People are spending time with their families and this isn't important enough to call them back in. Honestly that is fine with me, it's really not that big of a deal, but don't blame it on technical limitations. If it can be fixed on the 28th it could have been fixed on the 21st.

I'm sure the entire cycle would get messed up the moment you relink outside the planned schedule/reset day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
