Here's something interesting, somebody used the WvW API to pull out how many guilds are playing WvW by looking at what guilds are claiming. I think it's total guilds ever since the API opened up, so it's not the current number of guilds.

SFD is really outpacing Goon Squad on the WvW front.

Goon Squad has way more important things to spend it's influence on than wvw, like tons of spare guild missions.

SFD does way more wvw than GS in general but that's not a good way to judge it, like Lazy said it was mostly him or others screwing around putting the star on stuff or beating other guilds to it. We don't use any of the upgrades for WvW buffs just the siege.

That thing must be broken because it doesn't show any of the data from when I completely solo dominated WvW in the first week of the tourney and gave us first place before becoming bored of it all and letting you slackers drag us down to fifth.

For those of you using SSH tunnels and the like to get around America's ISP infighting and reduce lag, Anet changed the address of their gemstore/TP/exchange again.

Make an exception such that *.ncplatform.net doesn't go through the tunnel and you should be able to use the TP again.

He was being facetious.

Incidentally, here's the list of servers I make exceptions for while using SSH tunneling. The trading post/gemstore will flat out not work without some of these exceptions; others were just odd connections I noticed the game client making and decided to just add to the exception list to avoid potential issues. Tivac could probably shed a bit more light on what is used for what.

*.ncplatform.net (connections to the various elements of the TP, for example gemstore-dfw.ncplatform.net and exchange-dfw.ncplatform.net)
*.cloudfront.net; *.akamaiedge.net; *.akamai.net; *.edgecastcdn.net; *.cachefly.net; *.arenanetworks.com.cdngc.net (content delivery networks)
*.google.com
*.fatfoogoo.com (payment processing. I think this is part of the Digital River platform)
*.akadns.net

I didn't get pictures of it but last night I logged into my warrior who was still in the Rata Sum jail from SFD's night in the slammer and I found like a half dozen people inside roleplaying and asking "who's this jerk?" with regards to me. I warped out quickly but went back later and caught something along the lines of "NOW YOU HAVE TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT" and talk of incest between the characters.

My beloved master race city is forever tainted now.

Ever since I started trying to role play with the roleplayers, I've been seeing fewer and fewer of them. I SEE WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO, ANET.

This is largely because of the way the engine handles leaping. I think Colin Johanson explained it once in a forum post - your character is simply moved forward by a linear vector of x units, and then takes on its normal properties afterwards, leading to the dead drop. That's why you get affected by all AOEs between you and the destination, since your character is technically passing through all of them, albeit very quickly.

Engineers who put in a little bit of practice with Rocket Boots - which sends your character forward at your maximum attainable velocity - will find some really creative places to abuse leap speeds and animations.
