It has nothing to do with Guilds. People go in with a small group of 4 and enter a battle with teams of 12.

Guilds alliances in perticular wouln't tell you who is PvPing, becuase, for one thing, alot of those guilds could be nothing but PvE farming and alot could just be joining an alliance for fun, ect. Most guilds aren't joining an alliance to AvA.

The battle line -can not- be decided by how many people are waiting in line to play, but is decided only by battles actually fought. So even if there are 1000 people on the Kurzick side and 8 on the Luxon side, if those 8 Luxons win a match they are going to make a positive difference. Its not counted for matches not played.

If you look in your Guild Wars Factions Manuscripts in the chapter where they talk about alliance battles, you'll see that the line is designed to curve a lot -- much more that we see here. The screenshot in that manual has all the northeastern Luxon outposts captured by the Kurzicks also, effectively closing the Luxons in on three sides.

Are you guys serious? it seemed to me like Anet always placed Luxons at a more favorable position. They always manage to cap all their shrines on their side MUCH faster and more accessible to their spawns. Maybe its time you finally admit that the majority of players in GW went kurzick and along that population, a great deal of great pvp players, could be possible you know

I've played all maps, and the only times the map seem to "favor" kurzick is when good players are on kurzick and overwhelm the luxons. Its not about which map favors, blame it on the players.

Also, the whole kurzick vs luxon is just a concept really, as there really isn't anything to be gotten out of it. I mean yeah, kurzick invade luxon territory, so what? its just more blue dots on the map.. does it do anything? no... seriously its all design crap. When you invade a town, generally you own it and have everything accessible to you. All Luxon NPCs will be presumably ransacked/killed and replaced w/ kurzick NPCs, while offering the same luxon items but accessible to kurzick aligned individuals.

I AB allot and i must say.. their are some really bad luxon players. Stop with the Zerg swarms, Stop with sending AFKERS on the kurzik side and Just play the game!!! Now that your losing doesnt mean theres something BUGGED, it just means your players need finetuning. And Btw etnaran is Way more luxon favored then kurzik, yet you guys are still loosing. You get 3-4 Easy caps.

yeah, and we all know that better pvp player just love to grind right

Alliance battling faction is actually a very bad way to invest time if you're serious about using amber as a source of income, as there are faster ways to earn em. ABs are only there for pvp players to earn faction w/o having to deal w/ the pve side of things too much, so using the whole money angle defeats the purpose of what most narrow minded pure pvp individuals stand for.

Although if you are talking about the fact that most intelligent and skilled individuals who are successful on both ends of the game going kurzick... well blame it on the 15k kurzick armors and their 1.5ks as well

Seriously If I were in the ANET design team, the concept artist for factions would've been castrated by now.

I just wish there was something more DRAMATIC with these lines. When I hop on, it's like

"ohhh line changed...........mehh?"

Line is now half-distance between Harvest/Pits.

Hmm.

EDIT: The Mad King George's screenshots are fake. It's impossible for the Luxons to take Missions and House zu Heltzer.

Veron · Jun 03, 2006, 06:15 PM // 18:15

This is starting to look like that screenshot under the Nika flap of the Factions box. >_<

Zio · Jun 03, 2006, 06:18 PM // 18:18

This is the first time I've seen the line move much, and at first I thought it was pretty exciting!

But to find out it has absolutely no impact on the game is pretty disapointing. There's no reason to care where the line is..

It's still a neat game dynamic though, if they'd just add some meaningful impact because of it, it'd be very cool.

TheMadKingGeorge · Jun 03, 2006, 06:19 PM // 18:19

bo its not i wouldnt know how to fake plus look at the lines

Crazyvietguy · Jun 03, 2006, 06:27 PM // 18:27

LOL those pics are fake, i could have done that on paint. Also if they arnt fake.. then why are we noticing the sudden line change now? especially since (by your post) the lines been moving everyday. Maybe the millions of GW players are all just blind.. yeah of course.

TheMadKingGeorge · Jun 03, 2006, 06:29 PM // 18:29

there not fake ther havnt took missions and yes the can take house do heltzer as it is owned by an alliance

TheMadKingGeorge · Jun 03, 2006, 06:30 PM // 18:30

TheMadKingGeorge · Jun 03, 2006, 06:32 PM // 18:32

there not fake on my half as i took the screen shot and the were only there for a few seconds maby thats why noone saw them

Crisis54 · Jun 03, 2006, 06:36 PM // 18:36

The fact that you posted 3 times in a row mean they are fake.

TheMadKingGeorge · Jun 03, 2006, 06:37 PM // 18:37

the fact that your making opinons on how many times i defend that there real makes you a moron

The line updates every 3 hours. (Next update is 5:00 EST, for example. The recent change happened at 2:00 EST. Do the Math).

So yeah, that's a lie.

TheMadKingGeorge · Jun 03, 2006, 06:38 PM // 18:38

TheMadKingGeorge · Jun 03, 2006, 06:40 PM // 18:40
