Riba.3271 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 It is nearing primetime and 4 tiers out of 5 in EU has T3 SM. If other servers have attempted all day to reset it and failed, isn't it little bit too easy to hold or upgrade? Every server should have weaker timezones than opponents, but apparently stonemist is so easy to hold that it can't be reset even when server is at its weakest. Increase amount of dolykas required to upgrade and reduce the combat stats inside. Maybe reduce effectiveness of some SM specific tactivators. You could even extend the nerfs to all objectives, and defenders would still win most of the time. Overall WvW would feel much healthier if attacking objectives felt remotely fair. After all, to defend, you need willing attackers first. And to all the disorganised individuals that always come here to cry about defending being too hard: you losing stonemist or t3 keep with inexperienced chatmander against organised 40 man guild voice tags, doesn't mean it isn't easy to hold. You or your server just didn't try their best. 2 1 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGrimm.5624 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 My guild laughs anytime they ask where to and I state rule #2. If in doubt, attack the side that holds SMC. The rule has even more emphasis the closer SMC gets to T3. It also makes double teaming valid. So Riba, were the other two sides working against the side that held SMC or were they nipping at each other instead since it was easier? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't nobody got time for that, capping empty camps and towers is the way to go! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate.3679 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Perhaps the other servers aren't as weak relatively during their weaker timezones? And as I am posting this it appears the longest time that smc has been held on the eu servers is 3 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RlyOsim.2497 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) Amen. It is far to easy to defend with a fraction of the people. Having defensible keeps is fine but SM has such a big influence on the state of EB, it doesn't seem right at all for it to be so difficult to flip, its unfun. I often thought removing the ability to place defensive siege (ie siege cap it for defenders) and giving the lord a massive health or toughness increase might be an interesting way to go with SM. This would encourage actual fights in the objective which, outside of clown shoe wearing 'defenders', most people actually want Edited October 24, 2023 by RlyOsim.2497 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkpile.7439 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 And it's annoying that you can hit towers from sm. Bots spam trebs 24/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RisingDawn.5796 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) It's worse if it doesn't flip during prime time if organized groups, just dodge the map as the content isn't any good, but the worse I've seen mostly is involving the stacked T1 servers, where you can't ever play on EBG, apart from past midnight. T1 is just awful to stay in for too long, as there's almost always that one server queued on EBG, with SM tiered up for most of the day.

Today it was 40 for ebg, 0 for the borderlands. And they've lost SM this week too. If Anet wants to change anything, just bring back supps for defense event and ppl will drain SM again and it'll be harder to keep. And other ppl, having trouble with defense events because of their random variables, will be happy too. Actually everyone will be happy. Except for the SM defenders. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGrimm.5624 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) SMC is the easiest targets to punch holes in. If a side is holding it then the other sides failed to focus fire and choose not to prevent it from ranking. That's an issue for the other two sides and not an issue with defense. Players need to learn where and when to attack versus go with its easier to attack paper targets. Don't nerf defense when players make bad calls on where they attack and instead choose easier rewards. Edit: Sorry confused peeps, don't let the side that holds SMC double team you by double teaming the other side that also doesn't hold SMC. Remember Rule #2 if in doubt attack the side that holds SMC on all maps. Edited October 30, 2023 by TheGrimm.5624 lol 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never remove the options for friendly roamers and havocs to take and bait camps that the side that holds SMC owns. One it's in their job role and two don't remove their tactical options. It's like a fishing expedition. Take, set and wait for people that look to retake versus just run back to the defense of SMC even when they have no supply running. Hopefully if the two sides that don't have SMC are playing smart, one hits SMC while the other digs holes in the third that does own it. You need to make the side that holds SMC decide, keep it and lose everything else or lose it to keep their third. When the two sides decide to skip SMC and attack each other all they do is empower the side that holds it to help double team both of the two sides that don't own it. Which gives the owning side more time to rank it up to their advantage. That's not a defense is OP issue, that's players making bad calls in hopes of rewards versus looking at the longer view of allowing a side to hold it longer. Rule #2, if in doubt attack the side that holds SMC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the trend is to nerf everything in WvW, I have another idea, make the Dolyak self-combust after the last tower before SMC. 🤣🤣😂😂 Edited October 28, 2023 by SweetPotato.7456 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we need a vengeance tactic that can be installed in camps, killing a dolyak in motion triggers a flame blast in a 1200 unit radius that applies burning to all enemies. Would never pass but might be a tactic named as 'Revenge of the Yak!'. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
