Q:
6/14 CD / TC / SoS
A:
Winning this big is boring…
We’ll have a blog post going out before the release that walks you through every detail of how it works with examples. The goal is to get you more variety in match ups, while avoiding match ups against worlds way outside of your current tier so it’s not too crazy.
Either you guys missed the “goal” or you have a very unorthodox definition of the word “crazy”…I’m not sure it means what you think it means…

But we <3 you SoS
“Can SoS beat TC? We may never know, but now we have a chance to find out!” :Anet :P
Have fun all.
Well looks like CD is going to get a solid steam roll this week after an amazing two weeks of wvw. Oh well at least we got back to tier two and the old glory days lol.
Woo! Looks like it’s gonna be a fun match. Good luck everybody. Hard fights everywhere all the time!
Lol, looks like CD took a bit too far jump, lucky one of us tier 1 servers didn’t come down there. If CD and beat SoS, their rating will be spared; and don’t you want to show SoS some revenge? :P
We will see one of you 3 next week I bet! (:<

So CD will be umm well PvE week lol. We got the wrong matchup I MISS YOU YAKS AND KAIN!!! LOL!!!! TC no love to many zerg balls lol.
and don’t you want to show SoS some revenge?
Can’t really get revenge against ppl who only play while you are asleep. This will be a nice rest week for everyone I think.
So CD will be umm well PvE week lol. We got the wrong matchup I MISS YOU YAKS AND KAIN!!! LOL!!!! TC no love to many zerg balls lol.

IF you ever feel outnumbered an overwhelmed, jus bunker into a nice tower or keep an farm as much loot an wexpee as you can.
Great! I can hunt and kill all the Komies on battlefield and send them back to LA
Even if no-one else did, I missed you, CD. Doing fight night this week?
lol
SoS, did you secretly put one of those child leashes on us so we wouldn’t get too far?
Have fun, kill bad guys, loot bags.
This is what we’re doing to keep from being bored.

Am I the inly one or the score so far looks like finger showing the way to the moon? Anet, is that your way to answer all of our complains and comments about the new match up system?

I’m with him… we didn’t have many in wvw tonight and less after being wiped by these huge zergballs anywhere we went.
If you’re not having fun don’t play… his mentality is correct because he’s playing a game.
Every once in a while, with the random match ups, you’re going to get one of these type of matches. Hopefully next week is better.

WTB last 2 week’s awesome matchup.
TC has played great the last two weeks, I look forward to playing them again without the lag of last week.
Welcome back CD, I saw how well you went the last few weeks and hope you enjoy this one as well.
SoS…. CHARGE!
ah. CD welcome! SoS go right CD go left and we meet up in TC garrison ok? Let’s have fun.

CD has had a great couple weeks in T3, we stretched to just about the limits of our sick days and mental endurance and pulled out a couple close wins. After playing 2 hours in T2, I can tell you that we can’t hang in this tier. I’m the first one to fight against impossible odds (I kept SoH in TCBL for the first hour after reset tonight despite the 3 wandering freight trains) but I can also tell when a match is not worth stressing over. I’m not going to stress over this matchup.
Here’s hoping that after the big reset night we can have some fights we have a chance to win. Like… at least 25% of them, hehehe.
On a positive note, it was nice to take out my anger on some NAGA folks. I love you guys, but you’re red now, so you get smashed with Madam Hammer. Red is her least favorite color. Next time I would appreciate if you wouldn’t kill me so many times, though. Thanks.

Already had some epic 1v1s! Too bad the thief at bay killed me xD So close, both downed. Too bad my elemental didn’t save me.

Finally had a chance to lead a decent group for the first time in months.. man I had a blast. SoS BL was really fun. TC fielding 2 groups of 30-40. [TSL] with the 8 million catas on Cliffside.. Good kills, good deaths..
CD come out and play
My fun laughs at your server pride.
Looking like SoS should be shedding some rating this week. Probably a good thing, to be honest.
In the meantime, how does SoS + CD vs TC sound to people? Might make the matchup as a whole mildly more interesting for everyone.

Well to be honest I was hoping for DB/TC/JQ. This match is unbalanced. And please don’t take that poorly. We will dominate basically because of Coverage. I know for a fact SoS has some skilled players so there will be fights, just not at all times of the day. And as for CD… I have not fought you guys since October??? I think. Anyway been a while so I do not really know your strong points or times.

Wow TC 3 weeks in a row. I’m getting kind of attached to y’all.
SoS, you’re our new FA. <3

Glad you have fun. It’s been awhile since FoE leads a map in SoS even if they are reduced in size. Sorry about the first few wipes! I forgot I was still wearing my mf set.

No, you’re completely correct in saying that. There’s a noticeable gap in sheer man power between CD and TC. But that’s not to say we’ve given up.
On top of the fact that CD just spent two weeks of pushing tail to secure challenging victories (respect to YB and KN)… I really should only speak for myself but I think CD kind of needs a break and facing a very strong full coverage server like TC, well that’s as good of a time as any to play more relaxed. Two weeks ago CD was T4, that’s a big jump in competition for a server that didn’t just get a bunch of large guild transfers.
Battles are fun until it feels like you’re being farmed. No one likes to be farmed and if it’s unavoidable, people start to PvE, it’s the hard truth.
Here’s to hoping that SoS and CD can figure out a way to get an alliance going so that we can make this match interesting instead of another victim of the RNG. Judging from posts I’ve been seeing from SoS over the last two weeks, it seems like they could use to catch a ‘break’ from it.
Suggestions to make the week more interesting: Let’s see which server can complete each checklist.
Tarnished Coast:
TCBL: Do not lose either Redbriar Tower or Greenlake Tower. (FAILED)
SoSBL: Put a waypoint in all three keeps. (25%)
CDBL: Put a waypoint in all three keeps. (25%)
EB: Capture and maintain control of both Jerrifer’s Slough and Veloka Slope, fully upgrading each. (0%)
Sea of Sorrows:
TCBL: Capture and maintain control of Askalion Hills, fully upgrading it. (0%)
SoSBL: Do not lose Garrison. (100%)
CDBL: Capture and maintain control of Bluebriar, fully upgrading it. (0%)
EB: Maintain control of Veloka Slope at all costs & Capture Bravost Escarpment. (50%)
Crystal Desert:
TCBL: Capture and maintain control of Ascension Bay, fully upgrading it. (0%)
SoSBL: Capture and maintain control of Bluelake, fully upgrading it. (0%)
CDBL: Do not lose Garrison. (FAILED)
EB: Maintain control of Jerrifer’s Slough at all costs & Capture Langor Gulch. (50%)
The idea is to simply get people fighting in the same areas and to get CD/SoS not worrying too much about each other, while focusing more on TC. Eschew the need for formal alliances by participating in a friendly competition that’ll more or less keep you out of each others’ hair anyway.

Haha Thanks! Yeah, it’s been a long time since FoE legit took over leading a non-FoE zerg. We are reduced in size, but what is left is the people who love to WvW and after sorting through some inner-guild items, we will be leading a lot more now. Beware.
Wipes are always my fault, not you guys. Y’all were fantastic.
My fun laughs at your server pride.
I wouldn’t be upset if you guys allied against us. Heck last week I went out of my way to hit SoR and Leave SoS alone. Was a few times in the morning when we timed our hits on SM to pull SoR off of SoS garri, yes you read that right.
~Tarnished Coast since the beginning
Anet wanted to give us a rest from WvW by giving us this match up so we get a beating and go PvE , but i guess Anet don’t know us that well , we got 2 words for you ..BRING IT!

We just need to cap a few camps to pay for our repair bills, going to be a fun week.
Hi TC! I am starting to become very fond of you between the dolyak parades and the good sportsmanship you show on the forums. I know you guys are a little beyond our grasp right now at least for NA prime but you don’t seem so far out of reach like SoR did.
So watch out.
If you combine SoS and CD’s numbers, you get about half TC’s.
I wanted to play TC this week. I have the sads. Maybe soon

Great attitude!
Hopefully we can find ways to keep it a fun match.
Coverage is what it is and I can promise you now there are plenty of people on TC who only seem to show up when all the Maps are our color and… well… they aren’t fully housebroken to put it politely
So SoS great respect for the fights you’ve put up the past two weeks and CD bring it as best you can and forget about the score as much as possible. From the times we were in your position even a single Tower capture can be a victory and fighting with the Outmanned Buff is FUN!
If you combine SoS and CD’s numbers, you get about half TC’s.
Due to this, defend your borderlands as a priority when/where you can, and focus on TC, not each other.
I know that won’t always be an option, but if we ignore the scoreboard and focus on day to day contests it’ll be more fun.
The list I previously posted is a decent starting point — I’d love to see some objective based fights over bragging rights take place.
Or omega golem zerg brawls.

We tend to concentrate on EB. Always have on SoS, for some reason.

TSL would like to extend our thanks to SoS in their borderlands. You guys had some great reaction time with many of the attacks we had against the North. Look forward to some more battles. Lets not worry about the score and just focus on having a good time.
Feel free to contact me in game. Always enjoy chatting with other server commanders/guild leaders about the game.
