Wait, something went wrong on NA servers and not Eu servers? what is this?!?!
This means you're keeping this reset scramble? Would you at least reset the scores since servers are inheriting the scores of others.
No this would require too much work for WvW, they are still working hard on alliances
Either a score reset or a FREE WarClaw Mount Skin of Choice!
C'mon, Fire! Please give it to us! HAHAHA!

As long as the ‘bug’ didn’t hit PvE there is no worry by anyone who ‘matters’.
Thank You for the {MEME}
nono, the players that didn't enter WvW from X to X will get a free mount of their choice and a bonfire, everyone who was in WvW from X to X gets only a bonfire
Arenanet, Kindly reset the scores or purposefully fix your inadvertent mistake. You are sending a message to the WvW population of NA and I would appreciate it being contrite instead of indifferent.
What someone clearly meant to do is to undo the Drakkar/RoF link in Europe because they don't have enough population together and they inadvertently did this. Reset Europe and give RoF a different link to a more populated server.
BUT the score DID NOT reset. I was winning, now I'm losing by far 181 victory point. kitten!!!!!
I see it positive, they talked to us about a problem. Who would have thought that this happens
I'd be happy with a skirmish chest reset for the inconvenience
At least reset the scores. Everything got scrambled up. Servers that were winning are now randomly losing because they got swapped positions with a losing server.......
AND NOW THE MIGHTY BLACKGATE HAVE RISEN ONCE AGAIN
This is rubbish. Jade Quarry finally gets a good link and are winning their Tier, Now we are swapped with the losing team in a higher tier and chucked back on desert borderlands. At least reset the scores.....
Just reset it back. Only one skirmish got messed up anyway.
Why you laughing, bro? That's a great idea!
As a many year wvw veteran i'm just laughing because anet not even pretending to care about wvw is as natural as the sun rising and setting. They know it's a brilliant mode, which is why they keep trying to copy it into pve maps, but allocating any resources to keep it from crumbling to neglect remains a pipe dream.
WvW Devs: "No formal message on skill lag, absolute silence on Alliances, snails pace balance patch releases"
Me: Wow you did it! The bar can't get any lower now!
WvW Devs:
WHAT?!? Did you expect something special would be written here
Amazing what can happen when someone accidentally misclicks their mouse. Good news is that winning/losing in WvW is meaningless, so the swap doesn't really matter.
Great, now we've inherited HoD's kitten kdr. Gonna take a lot of bags to get things back to where they're supposed to be...
They? You think there's multiple people working on those? Look at you being optimistic.

Devs no communicate!
Devs communicate.
Reeee! We don't like you communicate!
Some salty bois in here.
Anet buff me :-(
Make me good at game!
No F's given for WvW but hey..there's a new item in the gem store!! GG.....
If players don't rage loud or long enough, how else do you expect us to get ANET to dole out free mount skins? Get. With. The. Program.
I appreciate very much the communication, gotta start somewhere right?
WvW does need more love tho, pls Anet... New World is coming :x
Good work Dev team...
Wait. A DEV mentioned something about WVW? Wow. Banner day here at GW2. Banner day. Someone get a screenshot before this is locked or deleted for talking about matchups or something.
All this talk of ppt, so you can get to a higher tier and have half your server log off the week after?
Chillax, matchups resetted, whoopdeedoo.
^ Another derailing post - Anet
Perma stealth is needed to outrun zergs. - Thieves
/Stomps Mirage-Scourge-Warclaw, boon ball balance! - Anet
No expansion money as long as Mesmers are trash. - Me
We are still looking into the effects from the inadvertent reset, but the current matches will have some anomalies. The regular reset on Friday should correct any related issues.

Giddy up !
Anet buff me :-(

People still care about the War scores? There's no incentive to winning a week long match at all.
I'm not confident things are going to go well with this. TC was not winning it's T3 match, yet now we have been dropped into the T2 match with a winning score. At this rate, we are going to move to T1 at reset Friday. That doesn't "fix" anything. That totally screws us for a couple more weeks as we get farmed dropping back to T3 where we weren't even winning.

Meh, relinks kinda mess up all the match ups in the first place. For TC it would effectively be the same as if ya'll spawned into T1. Not the greatest, but since most servers are in the wrong place b/c of relink anyways, it doesn't really make much of a difference to me.
You're in T3, but you're right -- there's no way FA is covering a 21 point gap when this happened during its weakest coverage time. More importantly, our kdr was halved. What kind of server even manages a .68 kill/death rate? You'd have to intentionally feed around the clock to accomplish that. There are days it feels like this gamemode is held together with duct tape and chicken wire. But hey, the players are still there and its free, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe they're testing out new content behind the scenes they haven't told us about and this is an unforetold side effect.

Does it mean that they are testing some backend stuffs for wvw alliances and something went wrong? Pog, maybe there is still hope for alliances xD
"intentionally stay in a tier lower they they should" -- Is this what we call coverage gaps now? Not that I expect anyone on any server is trying too hard to ppt these days...
With the fact that it's a three server game I'm not used to seeing servers with a kdr lower than .7 because every death could potentially count as a kill for both of the opposing servers meaning in prolonged larger scale fights between three groups its possible for all three servers to come out ahead with a kdr near or above 1.00 -- even if they're wiped.
Anything is possible.
edit- There have been times I've singlehandedly shot my team's kdr waay up at the start of a skirmish by yolo'ing into the opposing servers whilst they're fighting and dropping every AoE on my bar. Its not exactly an accurate system. Alas, there's no coming back from .68 on a Tuesday. XD

Can we all take a moment of silence for all the brave DB soldiers who will die in the coming week?
For what its worth I won't be killing any of them. I'm usually either asleep or at work at 6AM, depending on the day.

Understand.
It just continues though to appear as if WvW is the forgotten sibling.
Most have gotten past actually caring about scores. It’s not as if alliances are in effect and we have tournaments again.
Point is, it’s a significant glitch and we get to wait until the ‘normal’ reset.
Thank You for the {MEME}
really? The vp are so close. Can't really be your population.
HACKS!!
Does this mean that regardless of the match score, servers will be put where they would have been had this "accident" not occurred? TC for example was most likely going to come in second in T3. So, Friday we will be blue in T3 again regardless...right?

How can it when servers have scores that don't reflect the actual matchup without a reset to zero now.
The reset isn't the worst thing it's being given the last place score and already well out of contention when you were just in a close 1/2nd place race the day before. It's like why even bother..
Hmm well it just gets worse and worse lets just blame Covid shall we for another shambles . A really good way to kill WvW , just man up and say we don't want to bother with this mode. So we will reset and inadvertently ignore like the past 2+ years . Inadvertently forgot about Alliances also I gather.
Clearly the KDRbots were outwitted.
I need 6 tickets but am timegated. That should obviously be the compensation.
For future reference it this (or anything similar) happens again you should immediately reset the score as well even if it means doing another reset right away. Leaving it as is until Friday is not the right move.
Notice the part where they don't care?
WvW has seen years of neglect, and it can't be put off to money as server transfers make money, along with the kites/toys we play with in wvw.
Since the layoffs it seems they have actively tried to dismantle the competitive modes(Anet/NcSoft should investigate who is trying to sabotage their investment).
I want more bags
And this reset (Jul 3) we actually had 2nd place in points -- and we were dropped a tier. What's up with that?
