Hey oh! Let it be known! Rankings are directly proportionate to activity level and participation regardless of guilds and tactics! (Well most of the time anyway!)

You could have a zerg in server A win every battle against zergs in server B, but server B wins because unlike server A it has 3 times the number of zergs in all Borderlands and Ebg at the same time capping everything.

Win or Lose, Cheap transfers or not, T1 or T3, DragonBrand will always be home!

Winning is about “coverage” and not “skill” . Probably true.

IMO though, all servers have enough people to queue all maps all the time. Convincing them to do so is not easy and takes skill. A special kind of skill.

We had almost no BL queues last night in SBI.

Are you guys fielding a militia commander on each BL? With the new influx of PvE players a Commander designated for them seems to keep their participation up.

Great fights last night in EBG. Always fun fighting my old server, only had to fall back a few times. I’ll give DB credit though, you’ve always been a for force to reckon with when backed into a corner. I know for next time never let you guys into a tower when I’m trying to take it lol. FA you guys….. you and SM lol. The militia and myself have greatly enjoyed the fights to hold SM. You guys get me on the open field from time to time but we hold out for a while lol. Oh and thanks DB keeping FA busy while I got everyone up to the third floor for the retake.

As oppose to what you all non-SBI may be thinking, SBI does not have a bunch of new PvE players from what I’ve seen in WvW aka bandwagon PvE’rs looking for an easy Silver placement. Sure, we had some (especially on the weekend doing achievement grinds but they also followed the blob zerg to towers/camps/etc for those achievements). Here is the thing, SBI did not get a major influx of population (there was some) but completely different than every other higher populated server.

So there is no reason to have a ‘commander for PvE players’. And now, SBI does not need to worry about being stuck (getting pounded) in Gold Tier anytime soon so game on! It’s a win for SBI although few will see it.

TL;DR WvW PPT is about coverage. The season is determined by PPT. So the server with the highest coverage is the winner. And coverage is pretty much all WvW boils down to (with a couple of odd week upsets counted on one hand across all server matchups) for the last year+.

Solid ‘fight’ at Sunnyhill, DB.

step 1. Have 5:1 odds

step 2. after knocking down walls, refuse to charge for 10 minutes while building massive siege equipment.

step 3. finally charge, with 5:1 odds

step 4. lose over half your numbers.

We’ll be fine. We spent many months in Tier 2, fighting Tier 1, 2, 3 for a portion of that. We’ve outlasted IOJ, KN, CD, YB, DB. We tend to hold it steady.

We sorta like that.

this has to be a troll post. great fights? in EB? lmao ya rite. Me and a stacked group of DB stared at each other for a good 30 secs last night at inner SMC because the skill lag was so bad. I was spamming my earthshaker on their stack and I got a few wells at my feet but no damage, however all we did was simply look at eachother because wvw is so broken right now.

Coverage and numbers wins. But you also need leadership, because it is not just numbers, it is what you do with those numbers.

Anyways, been fun so far this week, and with how things have been going, SBI could go on a tear tonight and cut the lead down again. Can’t believe we had it down to 3k just to fall back to 20k.

DB needed to have their leaders’ heads in the PPT game from the beginning and try to keep the weekend score as close as possible between FA and SBI if they wanted that. I just don’t think DB wants to play for PPT (except the karma-train off hours oceanic/EU crew) and its really more of a side effect of what they are doing than going for PPT.

Leadership meaning a single tag up so that everyone follows, has siege for placement (keeps the siege trolling/supply wasting minimized) and knows when to move vs fight (buff beforehand). I get it but don’t over-weigh leadership over raw coverage.

Perhaps what you are alluding to is server communication which is far more important if you lack coverage. But the greater the coverage you have over your opponents, the less the need is for server communication.

WvW population server stacking encourages lack of server community and you can see this over and over. PvE population server stacking has the opposite result.

Nah, we simply lacked the ability to defend both sides of out map with our 20~40 against two map queue zergs. Defending outnumbered only does you good for so long. Eventually you’ll be starved. People get demoralized when they see enemy waypoints on the keeps in our BL, too.
By Monday nobody even bothered hitting upgrades anymore. We only have enough people to make a push on one map, (either our BL or EBG usually,) so if we’re ticking more than 150 at any point during NA or EU it’s simply because a small squad is hitting a pocket of undefended capture points, and nobody’s bothered to take them back.

That and our EBG crew is pretty stupid on the whole. If we call out for help on other maps because our Garrison is under attack, it’ll generally get ignored on that map— they’re too busy banging their collective heads against that castle, or enemy towers that don’t matter.

Shoutout to our roamers, though. We’ve gotten a fair amount of points from camps this week.

Monday WvW crew is demoralized because there is not even a chance to place in second after the weekend. If you managed to keep SBI and FA closer, there would be less focus on your PPT during the week especially if you are in the 3rd place position.

One server would ally itself (whether official or unofficial) with your server and you get to play for second (you’ll never get first).

It’s not about slowly defending and losing against a 2v1 on the 2-day weekend. It’s keeping your two opponents focused on each other and not on you during the 5-day week.

SBI has learned the hard way that they will need to communicate with each other to win.

Commanders, guilds and zergs need to be willing and able to move to maps to help defend something.

In the upper tiers where FA has spent most of their time, this happens without fail usually. Response teams show up and go to work.

Queue’s can hinder this of course….but SBI’s reaction times have been slow, and they have suffered for it.

Further more SBI may want to look at their gear/builds as a whole. They also may want to not be so stationary. Not moving and getting jumped on by us is not helping you.

The times we have seen any semblance of maneuvering, it has fallen apart after our initial push with everyone spreading out…and then dying.

None of these hints will help you against FA of course. We are still going to faceroll you in the open field, but it may help you against some of these other servers.

No kidding. Unfortunately our EBG group isn’t really big on the Borderlands maps and cries for help often fall on death ears. Some of our major EBG guilds have left the server, making it even harder to communicate with them. Sometimes it feels like they’re like an entirely separate entity, not to be controlled.

Back when we had the people run the other maps during NA/Oceanic/SEA that wasn’t such a big issue. But now it is.

There are some leaders on DB that try really hard, and we always have people to step up and fill the gaps when guilds leave, but on the whole inter-guild communication has never been our strongest point.

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.

It seems grouped forces are having trouble hopping servers as one without being split up by queues. I feel SBI might be a bit different on the battlefield after a couple of weeks and the achievement hunting dies down. Forces will be smaller, but maybe more organized.

IMO though, all servers have enough people to queue all maps all the time. Convincing them to do so is not easy and takes skill. A special kind of skill.

We had almost no BL queues last night in SBI.

Are you guys fielding a militia commander on each BL? With the new influx of PvE players a Commander designated for them seems to keep their participation up.

I just had to LOL at that. Sure sometimes we get face rolled, but sometimes you have been face rolled in the open field as well. Last night we had a very huge battle in your BL, just outside of hills, and you were getting rolled. The only reason we had to fall back is that you were able to get your dead back to the fight quicker from garrison, than we could from spawn.

Last night we had a problem finding people on the map. For people who don’t know, SBI seems to take Saturday and Monday off, most the time. This week, we were in full force Monday, but then, we took Tuesday off it seems. That Tuesday break really hurt, especially after catching back up.

No rhyming from me bud until I turn from Blood. When night falls and I dominate in World vs World, my guild mates sometimes fraps the rhymes I have hurled. They savor every word, and laugh and cackle, meanwhile I’m facerolling like a probowl defensive tackle.

Depends on the player. I have seen some very, very good players from FA, just nowhere near as many as the walking bags. But the same goes for SBI as well, and in the end individual players don’t make a significant difference. FA has taken a well-earned win based on solid co-ordination during NA primetime and pushing home the numbers advantage overnight.

the sheer stupidity in this thread is amazing.

Some SBI members claim they don’t have queue’s, while others claim they can’t move around because of queue’s.

Some guilds claim to run 15, but we came up against (and wiped repeated) 25+ numbers.

Mad props to whatever guild was hiding in SBI NW tower about an hour or so ago. kept coming back and pushing out even though you kept getting rolled. Great guts and determination.

As for a word of encouragement to SBI, don’t be disheartened that it all fell apart this week. You can’t instantly become a good server. You need time to get experience, time to learn the best way to approach situations, time to find out the best gear and time for you commanders to learn how to actually lead in battle and not just rely on sheer numbers to win. FA has been doing this WvW thing against larger servers and coverage than us for months and months and months and months on end. It is natural that we are facerolling you right now.

Since when did a 30k lead mean you are face rolling people? A good win none the less, but far from a “Faceroll”.

Why is FA so disrespectful. We know our skill level. We know the skill level of our opponents, but we don’t disrespect them on the forums if we roll them. And, NV, I don’t really think you should be talking trash.

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.

And, the only night that we spanked you in PPT, was Monday, and that night Beast and Abyss were both able to get into your BL, and keep you busy there, while other guilds were able to take back SBI, and wreak havoc on DB.

Sadly, we can’t get any organization anymore, and we haven’t been able to attack you on your BL like we did that night, because our BL is getting whacked in the afternoon by you.

We’re moreso a late NA guild and by the time we’re on, there are hardly any queues. We enjoyed it last matchup when we’d have to be ready to face two guilds at a time on any given map. It kept us on our toes and made for interesting nights. I don’t think you guys would have queues most of the time we’re on maps though. I did hear you guys have had some rough luck with some guilds and guild leaders, which explains why I haven’t seen them. It’s been hard to even distinguish the one guild that’s leading the map though. Just try to remember, later at night you guys can break down the group on the map in half. There’s no way we would have been able to defend both FABL and SBI Bay Tuesday night if you guys had a two forces on map, instead of just the one large one. I get it if that wasn’t possible though. Anyhow, I don’t envy the position SBI is in. You’re getting a small feel for what things on FA were like when we faced you last.

Last call for a GvG though. Send me a mail here on the site if you or your guild would like to fight. If you don’t want a GvG we can just call it some skirmishing if you want to test anything out.

Ya, I hear you.
There’s not even a point in maintaining Glicko.
Looks like we’ll get second.
Wouldn’t expect much fightback the next two days.
See you again in 6 weeks =p
