Round 2.

Now let's See
with no PvE.

[Christina Lee]

Update

[Beastgate]

Nah there's still plenty of PvEing.
Fractals is technically endless, so it's a permanent damage to WvW population.

It's the role of the loser to place asterisks on the victories of others. I'm looking forward to this week, but decrying others' success is a sign of weakness.

[Cirus]

Nice to be in our native green!

And wow at the glicko ratings! has tier 1 ever been this tight? 4 rating between 1st and 3rd!

Good luck to everyone and have fun!

[Mithrull]

Legit subject because SoS had no PvE. We log straight into EB.

[Beastgate]

Queue for Lion's Arch is longer than queue for EB.

[Cirus]

It's very interesting to see what's going to happen this week

Can SoS win back to back?
Will SBI reclaim their crown as kings of tier 1?
Can JQ gain confidence from beating SBI this week to challenge SoS?

After SoS were celebrating the win and recovering, JQ made a late push over the final 12 hours to gain 15k points over everyone else. That's why we NEVER say it's over until it's over, if SoS had the attitude of 'we've won' on Wednesday we would have choked on the finish line. No doubt either that JQ's late Euro effort was a ratings push, they were trying to claim the #1 ranking and only fell 2 ratings points short, it was a good try and they would have gained a lot of confidence from it.

our NA guys are really fighting hard atm, keep up the good work!

I love how we can never win. If we do there's always some dismissive explanation. We can't win when we win.

Can everyone please put away the excuses this week?

I hate to say this, but you should probably just give up on that.

Excuses are an integral part of T1, that's why they call it the "Tier of Tears" That's how JQ got our nickname (Although there are so few JQ posters left, it's kinda pointless). Point is, get used to the excuses, if you don't want to deal with QQ and other servers devaluing your victories, stay off of the forums, it's that simple. I know that saying "my way or the highway" seems rather harsh, but you will simply never change the way T1 is.

I was on leading part of the push the main point of it was to make sure SBI was red. Other than that we just wanted to hold momentum til the reset give us some confidence. We already assumed you guys were Green (I didn't feel like doing math so basic assumption and millenium didn't update all morning!!!!) lol. Good luck

Think of how the old HoD felt. All their wins were simply attributed to Titan Alliance, but rightfully so.

Ty for the free SM.. for now.

Some people will always spew negativity all over everything you try to do.  Its in their nature, who knows why, and who really cares.  Most people who use this forum and are worth a damn know that the value of your fun cannot be based in what people have to say about it.  Some do not have the ability to lose (or win) gracefully.  When they are up, its cause they rock (or you suck), if they lose its because they light got in their eye, or a homeless man stole their bike (you get the picture).

Some people cant take the hit to their ego to admit that they were beaten.  Pity them, because as long as they make excuses for their failings (in life and in game) they will never confront the reason behind those losses.

They have peaked, and will never be better than they are now...  To improve requires you to admit, even to yourself, that there is something to improve upon.

Silly Title, dunno why you think you get to pick when people can PvE or Not.

We won gonna take a break don't really care if the other servers like it or not, but guess we did get some new folks join our server maybe it won't even matter.

[NCLTDS]

Update please.

[Saruon]

Score:
SoS- 6,731 +285 +SM
SBI- 5,205 +230
JQQ- 4,973 +180

[Alderaan]

Should change the title to the Force Log Bowl.

[Walker]

No queues on any map, commanders fighting in TS already. It's going to be a fun week

[DeagarFA]

This is really frustrating, SBI isn't even showing up on a Saturday night. PRX fully capped the borderland I was on. The SBI team is spending more effort fighting each other than SoS.

[Sephyxia]

JQ BL~

Fully cap'd.

<3

[lesath]

+375 SoS   13775
+190 SBI    10031
+130 JQ      8487

I can't help but smile when reading this because I'm 90% certain that a certain former SoS commander, fond of using the 3rd person in addressing others, might be a contributing factor.


Seriously, we could have sic'd all the Anonymous hackers in the world on SBI and it would do less damage than he's likely doing to their coordination efforts right now.

The real problem is WvW is getting old. Need anet to livin it up with updates.

So how do you propose that? What do you suggest, without introducing PvE objectives? In WvWvW, the carrot at the end of a stick is defeating your opponents on the battlefield. If that's getting old for you (which is kinda funny since your opponent is defeating you at the moment), perhaps that's not the carrot you're after. What do you propose to make it "new" again?

Agreed. The players that stick around and fight the hardest are often the ones who just need this. If you need other arbitrary rewards, then you're like to keep needing new ones (you'll never be satisfied).

Good fights and close games are what keep me coming back.

Na... Anet needs to fix the current issues before anything else. It's going to be a PvE game; why they have more developers on their PvE side than Wv3 or sPvP. It's discouraging for anyone that wants to do any PvP to see new weak PvE content come out, and no major fixes for Wv3... I also can't stand the fascism going on by their moderators in the forums. Saying anything bad about the game; even if it's constructive results in an infraction. It's just ridiculous, and pointless to give any feedback towards their game. Hope that work out tho someday, and would always be glad to come back once they can fix the brokenness in Wv3...


Until then I'm playing APB and PS2! No PvE in those games!

New siege weapons, racial or faction variants on existing siege weapons (i.e. Krytan Arrow Cart or Black Citadel Arrow Cart with an extra still that does some different, useful effect.  Upgrades at mystic forge cost badges not PvE crap.

WvW events in the style of the PvE events, limited time objectives, temporary changes to architecture.

Permanent changes to architecture as the owners of the various keeps/towers/etc improve them based on their experience.. or perhaps they fall to ruin after being sacked one too many times.

Additional structure upgrades, like refilling bins or racks of ice bows or flaming greatswords, anti-stealth searchlights and sensory artifacts.

There's a lot that's possible and could be made interesting.
