So are people calling FA Bandwagon server already?

Not to mention FA tank to silver league.

We did not tank on purpose. We lost coverage due to recent transfers.

We gained some of that back with even more recent transfers.

SoS gained a lot of rank, when they had a preferable matchup. Honestly MAG belongs up in Gold.

SoS does not belong up there. It remains to be seen if FA or SBI belong up there instead. One of us should be up there instead of SoS.

A lot of us are happy to kill new servers though, and as long as heavy loot bags stay around 3 silver, I’ll be happy as well.

Ah good ol’ FA, roflstomping yet another bandwagon server.

Didn’t CORE join you guys to join a top tier silver league server?

Bandwagon indeed.

You’re right, one medium sized guild joining a server makes it a bandwagon…
Whatever floats your boat, mate.

Good match all around, guys. My fav moment so far would have to be holding Briar at sbi bl last night. So many bagsssss

One medium sized guild doesn’t make up the numbers you guys have this week. So everyone else no showed against Mag and us two weeks ago and you claim you didn’t tank? Riiiiight.

I know at least 3 Guilds which left FA, and I know we gained 2 other ones.
My guild left FA because people were tired of fighting Tier 1 servers.

So this is a case of if other server gained new guilds, they’re bandwaggon. But if we gain some guilds, we’re not bandwaggon. Nope, it’s only two, so no we’re not.

Ah good ol’ FA, roflstomping yet another bandwagon server.

Bandwagon indeed.

We joined FA because we thought it was the best fit for us concerning their culture. We looked at multiple servers, none of which were the ones people were expecting to win their respective leagues. We then chose FA. We were not concerned about winning the league, but hey, if that happens and we can help then why the hell not?

We like it here on FA and think this is what we have been missing. The people are great and the atmosphere while playing WvW is one of fun, not work.

Plus, when we joined the wider consensus was that FA was failing. People were mistaken. FA is as strong as ever.

Good for you guys (really, its just a kitten video game at the end of the day).

My post was an attempt to point out that other servers also get transfers. If the came to be with a top tier or because they thought it was a good fit, than all the more power to them.

You got more than one, but aside from that, exactly how many transfers does it take to qualify as ‘bandwagon’?

cant speak for the guilds, but the militia wasnt really enjoying T1 that much, also wvw didnt really have a specific focus till leagues, now winning means something. Aspenwood has a lot of semi wvw players. WvW was getting boring for the average player.

gaining 1 or 2 guilds that are medium sized after losing 1 60 man guild and a 45 man guild and a 15 man guild and another one because of t1 matchups, is not bandwagoning. gaining a ton of players all at once is badwagoning. the FA u met last time was demoralized and tired after fighting t1 for 6 weeks+

all the people i see atm are people i know for very long here on fa( apart from the pve players and the new guilds)

Circumstantial evidence suggests FA tanked it last time around, but that’s just circumstantial.

What is clear though: We had at least a couple guilds apparently disappear during the free transfers, you gained a couple. You are realistically a gold tier server, if not technically one. Every fight I’ve run into in the last two days against you guys has had us solidly outnumbered, in many cases by up to 3:1. You guys have the numbers to run a zerg on apparently every map at once with numbers left over for multiple havoc squads.

It is pretty clear unless something horrible happens to you, you will probably win this league.

None of that should be taken as me talking kitten to you.

I just honestly hope some other server in the league got enough people to slow you down, otherwise you have 7 weeks of pvd with almost no resistance to look forward to, and that gets kitten ed boring.

I just want to chime in and say this week has been a great matchup. Seems fairly balanced and all servers are pushing hard. Oceanic FA has had its hands full with NNK and Abys. Abys you are really good at upgrading towers and keeps and surging them up. NNK you are well structured and are keeping constant pressure on us. You should try it on Abys

Exactly. I can’t believe some are still stuck on the bandwaggon era. Servers lose and gain players, it’s just the nature of transfers. Less QQ about waggons and keep on playin’

Here is what people need to realize:

FA witnessed the rise of Kaining. We got beat up by KN for a long time. We withstood it long enough to see their fall.

FA witnessed the rise of Dragonbrand. We got beat up by DB for a while. We withstood it long enough to see their fall.

After DB, we were left going up against Tarnished Coast, who was clearly more stacked than us in all time zones. We got beat up by TC for what seemed like forever.

Than random match-ups came around. We got some easy match-ups, but most of the time we were facing TC, so we kept getting beaten up by them without having a third server to push those dirty role players.

We then gained enough points to pass DB and go to 5th place. We then faced T1 servers and TC. We got roflstomped for a least 2 months straight.

So why the frack would players that have gone through all of that, want to tank to get into the Silver league? Sure, some PvEer, PvXers, and a small minority of WvWers wanted to go to Silver, but FA WvWers did not. Our WvWers are competitive as heck, and we have been beaten up before. We have been tested and we stay strong.

Now consider this. The guilds that were in FA 2 weeks ago when SBI and Maguuma beat up FA were the same guilds that were there to face KN, DB, TC, JQ, SoR, and BG. Starting 3 weeks ago, we had some guilds leave FA. One of our most important NA guilds, and our most important SEA/Euro guild. So last time SBI and Maguuma faced FA, they faced the guilds that had stayed. We had fewer players, and we were quite honestly fatigued. Maybe we weren’t strong enough to compete that week.

And now, FA got some transfers. We went down three rank spots in a matter of two weeks. We were starting a downward spiral, and our transfers really gave us a pick me up. But you can’t really call it a bandwagon in the sense of DB and KN. But hey, sure! FA is the new bandwagon. All guilds come to FA! We have every intention of going to Gold league next season and wipe the T2 and T1 baddies. But keep in mind, we will NOT give you a freaking copper coin to come to our server.

Moreover, nobody blames those two guilds for leaving FA. Especially DPS, which had a very hard task being the primary force during their timezone (we miss you guys <3).

Not sure what all this “bandwagon” talk is about. FA has been holding in tier two (aka Gold League) for over eight months.

“Bandwagon” is an overused insult.

Also, all servers do a fine job and have good players. Its just a series of tubes that divide us. Its easy to lose sight of that in these sucky forums.

Tired of the wagon talk.

Best thing on this matchup has been responding to a SOS call at sbi’s hills (which was ours at the moment) they went like this: “haelp! DB is at south hills, gate is 40%,hurry”, we rush, stack,buff,etc, and go out expecting to find a zerg, instead it was a lone DB on a golem hacking away at the door without a worry in the world. One can only imagine the map chat convo he must have been writing before we proceeded to send him to golem heaven: “Yo guys, I’m soloing Hills, get here noobs before I get all that Dragonite for myself, there’s no one here”.

Good match, haven’t had one this close for a very, very long time. Would be nice if Maguuma could have been the third server in the matchup getting their keeps flipped every 30 min in the PPT war, but somehow they managed to sneak into gold tier where it’ll be happening every 10 from next week.

I dunno, you guys have provided a pretty target rich environment for us on SBI; dinking around with my longbow from the battlements of various keeps the last four days has gotten me at last count 197 heavy loot bags.

Once the blobs hit critical mass, as they have been, everyone is farming everyone while quietly cursing the 2 second skill delays.

What happened to all of SBI’s guilds that use to run as guild groups only? I know you guys might not be facing many guilds from FA that run tagless now, but I miss seeing the 3-4 different guild groups on the same map. We figured at least this week out of all 7 weeks, we’d at least have a variety of guilds to fight that run decent sized groups (20-35) but its been really disappointing. While we had fun tonight hopping map to map, there is no competitive satisfaction from beating up on groups that have 30 or more non guildies.

And for the record, HOPE and so many of us on FA wanted nothing more than to be in gold. You guys faced a server that was really licking its wounds last time we fought, in the two months prior, every match we had was decided by almost 100k points or more. It’s not ideal at all, but silver lets FA get back up to where we use to be.

I hope to see actual guild groups out and about at some point this matchup. I think i saw ING from DB that was running some good numbers, so hopefully we can get some good fights.

If you’re a guild that wants to GvG, please let me know.

BTW, Joey, I’m hoping for omega or gtfo.

The simple fact is we are farming you guys hard, so thank you and will one of you please drop a precursor already for me!

One thing I appreciated last time we fought FA a few weeks ago was how classy everyone was from FA.
Sad to see posts like this.
[Core]. You aren’t farming anyone ‘hard’. It’s a pretty even matchup with FA’s EU timezone dominating ours. That is all.
The match statistics actually have SBI winning in NA, Oceanic, and Sea time zones. We simply have minimal EU timezone presence, the same as Dragonbrand. So FA ticks at 400-500 in EU. That’s the match right now as it stands.
The rest of the time, everyone farms the uplevel pve’ers and achievement hunting zerker builds. [core] is doing nothing special in that regard, don’t give yourself too much credit.

What happened to all of SBI’s guilds that use to run as guild groups only? I know you guys might not be facing many guilds from FA that run tagless now, but I miss seeing the 3-4 different guild groups on the same map. We figured at least this week out of all 7 weeks, we’d at least have a variety of guilds to fight that run decent sized groups (20-35) but its been really disappointing. While we had fun tonight hopping map to map, there is no competitive satisfaction from beating up on groups that have 30 or more non guildies.

And for the record, HOPE and so many of us on FA wanted nothing more than to be in gold. You guys faced a server that was really licking its wounds last time we fought, in the two months prior, every match we had was decided by almost 100k points or more. It’s not ideal at all, but silver lets FA get back up to where we use to be.

I hope to see actual guild groups out and about at some point this matchup. I think i saw ING from DB that was running some good numbers, so hopefully we can get some good fights.

If you’re a guild that wants to GvG, please let me know.

Unfortunately we can’t bring more than one guild per map(20-30) because it gets queued up, so only half will make it in. I am not sure if that’s from achievement hunters, people just now getting interested in WvW, the jumping puzzle duels, ECT., but that’s most likely the reason you will only see one per map.

Jokes on you, 3 players and me took DB Hills few days ago, with 1 Golem.
It was hilarious. When we got to the Lords Room, there was single DB soldier trying to protect it. Have a screenshot somewhere don’t have the time to look for it now.

That’s probably the only person we had on the map.

I’m really interested where these stats are. According to Mos we ticked in first for ppt since the Euro timeslot yesterday. We had a bad day on Monday I will give you that. Perhaps you mean in terms of fights and stomps? Maybe. Though in my experience the fights have been fairly even in terms of who wiped who.

edit:

After looking more closely at the evolution over time, which only includes PPT mind you, FA has maintained its presence on top over the week. Granted, on Monday SBI taught us a lesson when our EU didn’t push as hard to get a foothold in SBI BL. You guys did well and showed us that FA needs to not get complacent. Yes, our EU is strong and helps us a great deal, but if our NA wasn’t at least as strong we wouldn’t been able to maintain our point lead and presence in each borderland.

I will say that the bragging about farming most likely needs to stop. It’s not a farm if both sides are doing it. We will discuss it.

people are still surprised Coverage is what determines these matchups?

There is no better server in terms of “skill”

If a server wins, Its simply because they had more people more often.

this is 100% guaranteed….This game isn’t setup to gauge skill when it comes to collecting points, the PPT is not setup that way, Nor is the ranking system.

This will upset some people and their delusions but thems the breaks.

I completely agree with this.
