Hi guys, looks like we’re duking it out this week.

I will do my best to make it fun if I’m in the borderlands.

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

It worked out quite well for us last week in fairness – we only ended up losing it after the event started, which is no small achievement against those two worlds.

I’m not really going to go out of my way to hit CD this week. Well, unless I happen to accidentally stroll into your NE tower and set up a metric kittentonne of siege in there. But that’s more repaying a favour than anything else.

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.

Like it matters. Back when we were at our lowest rating with the new system we had TC and FA. Also note TC and FA lost rating since then, so it’s easy for us to be constantly matched together (I’m starting to think we belong in the same match up with TC despite the score obviously showing different).

I don’t understand how this system is healthy for WvW communities. Week after week of mismatches. Even TC would be suffering because of this because they aren’t fighting the zerg numbers they should be.

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.

EB is the only map where numbers are close to even for most of the day. Notice last week we actually took SM and reset all of SoR territory (except for Jerrifer’s) and that was against the number one server. WvW is a numbers game, the server with the most numbers is going to win. On EB even if you have an active WvW population, you can only fit so many on the map. On borderlands you will often outnumber your opponents when you are on a very populated server, but in EB the fights are slightly more even (although coverage still tends to favour the more populated servers).

If you want to be swarmed by huge zergs with only a handful of allies, borderlands are the place to be. If you want to have a more even fight, EB is the place to be. In lower ranked servers (like what SoS and CD are) the borderlands are competitive for smaller groups and guilds and over a type of gameplay and strategy you don’t see the higher your server rises in the ranks, but against the more populated servers they are easy captures for zergs.

My advice to cd, don’t look at the score. It seems dumb but when you get passed thakittens possible to have a lot of fun in these otherwise lopsided match ups. Don’t stress about what you can’t control. Your Na is as skilled as anyone including t1 servers you just need more coverage for the score to reflect that. TC are good opponents and they don’t trash talk on the forums(unlike certain t1 servers) we have both learnt to enjoy these match ups even though the result is something of a forgone conclusion.

Enjoy the match up! I know I will.

So i Propose a deal SoS. Since we know each other so well when it comes to guilds and such i suggest we leave each other alone and work together this week to make things more interesting for us. Instead of having such a lop sided score of TC rolling us. At least it would make things more interesting for all three servers.

Yep. We advise all SoS to stay off CD borderlands unless we see TC camping south part and no progress on your defense. We will recap our corner and then leave. I suggest we 2v1 TC on EB non stop to deny them any point lead because of EB.

That was so frustrating. “don’t attack TC, don’t attack TC. WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING TC!” “we’re almost in Hills” “don’t care, SoR is at Garrison with +70”

and we would not get Hills and lose garrison…

Well, CD is pretty clever and knows their situation well. I expect that outside some of their aggressive thief groups, they’ll keep their eyes on the ball as much as possible.

Yes. That was the most insane contesting I’ve ever had to do. And I was on my thief but couldn’t heal because it’d have stealthed me and you’d have capped.

As for North Inner Hills: had you guys just had that touch bit more supply for that superior ram to go up faster, that fight probably would have been in the Lord’s room as well. That was a pretty sweet for only 7 guys.

Very nicely played.

Thanks for the fights in EB today SOS, and awesome job getting a wp’d SM so fast! Please keep comin out it was so fun today. You guys were doing really well.

CD I miss you.

I know this coverage difference is pretty bad. But this is totally an opportunity to learn.
We learned a lot from getting stomped in T2 by KN and DB, and we learned more fighting SOR last week. Please don’t take this post as any kind of chest puffing, I really hope that both servers can find motivation this week.
My favorite weeks are when we’re getting stomped on TC. It’s a blast because there is so much to do just to even the odds on a map. The challenge is awesome and the feeling of accomplishment is amazing, as I am sure SoS felt with that WP SM!

But ironically, what I enjoy most is getting beat by someone doing something that i’m not, that I can learn from. I think SoS is totally stronger today than they were the previous saturdays we played and maybe that’s bc of SoR’s example or even a little bit of our own. I encourage you guys to keep at it, don’t play for score in such an unbalanced match, but fights and accomplishment’s like SoS’s Stonemist/pressure on TC’s third in EB today. Don’t get discouraged by the score, ignore it and have fun!

Anyway, from an old opponent, CD- I hope to see you guys more, I know you guys have been pushing hard lately, but this is your opportunity to see where we grew from when we last played each other, and even adapt some useful things into your own arsenals. I know it feels like a “bad week”, but if you see it as a reward- as I did vs SoR, then you will learn SO much. (Example, I felt very lucky to get the opportunity to get stomped by [Agg] in GvG, we learned a TON from that loss)
See you on the field!

And SoS, keep it up I’m really impressed

heh as I recall that was the 3rd assault and second attempt at cating that wall down (first was those trebs) First I reported TSL is back at cliff. then it was they are after the south wall agian as a small squad was sent back to man the siege. “2 catta’s up, 3, oh good lord they’ve dumped 5 superiors on this wall, 40% and falling fast.” whole zerg tried to get over there but you guys were in and up to the lord room so fast it made my head spin :P We were just boggeling at the amount of supply you dumped into bringing down the wall that fast.
