That 30 min long siege inside Rogues Quarry was pretty fun… little did SoR know we were going for SM and not the broken wall Wildcreek mwahahahhaa /evil laugh
Fun times
What’s RE?
And it seems I was over-optimistic about our numbers, now outmanned and getting zerged by SoS of all things. Though that’s just EB, I think I’ll give some borderlands a shot.
And I agree SoS doing nice tonight
SoR is a little quieter than they were on the weekend? Didn’t see many when I was on earlier.
The other side always seems to have more numbers, no one knows who had more/less, but saying it was 3 to 1 is a bit much, I cannot believe you thought we had 120-150 players.
Anyway we can all take screenshots next time, which again will tell us absolutely nothing.
What I am loving about TC is that you guys always come out to fight, in Bay there JQ and BG would of probably hidden behind the walls for the whole fight only using siege to counter us. Also your commanders are obviously very skilled, who use some lovely tactics.
Note I didn’t actually say that or mention anything about being outnumbered 3:1, rather that you didn’t have only 21 people on you. I’m not the sort of person who always assumes that the enemy outnumbers us and has 100+ people with them because, as much as people might disagree, most of us generally don’t run with numbers that big and if we/they did, you’d feel it.

Yeah, though it’s swapped around now, not seeing much SoS and we just got sieged at our Bay by SoR, two groups trebbing inner wall and we were outnumbered even at the one group we attacked. Could be the other was smaller I guess but… I doubt it.
edit: lol, then as I was typing that, SoR just swarmed a SoS v TC battle at godslore.
Kudos to the 5-man TC group we just fought to the east of TC BL Bay…that was epic!
Shout out to TC for the fights in Bay last night. I personally had a blast. After taking a few weeks off it was great to just run around and get a few good fights going.
{…}
I hope to see TC out more and more with that fire in their eyes.
CERN was running defense on Bay in SoRbl, and rest assured we always want to fight the largest numbers we can handle; usually 1-2 times our numbers, depending on co-ordination of our opponents.
All I have to say is: holy kitten you folks have a ton of necros in your zergs. Wells EVERYWHERE. Mistforming through them all ahead of the zerg is fun, though. watching all those ’Invulnerable’s pop up on your screen must be frustrating as I pop them all to no effect.
I’ve learned that Cleric ele is amazing in z v z fights, potentially superior to PVT in survivability. Those water fields and regens become a little OP at 1800 healing power.

Did CERN just pull out some insane overtime into Oceanic and early SEA? It was insane how you guys steamrolled everyone with your 70man zerg.

So, SoR guilds, I’m curious. I know we’re not really a threat PPT-wise, but how are we on the open-field? I hope we’re providing you with some good fights.
(Also, please stop dropping ACs and Ballistas when you have more people than us, it’s just bad form)ive constantly run against the guilds the same size as urs like MERC and ATM.
i can tell u one thing, u guys come out and fight, tough it would be ncie if u could run with a little less nos for a while so we dont get huge lagfest.but its been nice.
I could say the same about the numbers. When the Rallians get together, there’s definitely a decent number of ya.
I miss my SoR friiiiiiiiiiiiiends!
Hope we get matched up again soon tbh, I’m super bored…. Where is the random SoR zerg that runs around?! :P
Or… where are my random SoR friends who do silly things with me?!
<3
How is this matchup finding the fights? Having fun I hope?! Snuggling fiercely?!

The fights during NA Prime have been fantastic. If we could just keep that segment of SoR with us every week…I’d be a happy camper. Last week a lot of us pretty much stopped playing for the most part and got bored because of a lack of NA Prime fights. I hope things continue like this all week on the TC front. The last 24 hours have been really fun for us…and I’ll say that really surprises me.
Sadly our early morning coverage is skilled…but lacking numbers. It’s one of the holes we need to work on getting filled in the long-term. They have been fighting so hard though! <3
How do you properly explain a build to them: A) without coming off as elitists,
without offending their precious hard-earned armor, C) in a way that communication is taken constructively and seriously?
I like to subtly shame people into durability by doing things like pause in the midst of a fight and its AOEs to lift downed squishies, then heal and carry on as though nothing happened. ;P
I don’t know if it actually works but it always amuses me. If I felt like wasting the money I’d probably have a mercy gear set on my warrior just for this.

(Also, please stop dropping ACs and Ballistas when you have more people than us, it’s just bad form)Way too many berserker builds IMO. If you’re going to make it in T1 you need to outlast an initial burst, not just make one and then die.
I’ve noticed this a lot amongst some of our “less trained” militia, and you’re right. Our guilds have an overall good grasp on builds and are pretty sturdy, but we have had trouble with rallying half an enemy force due to the death of one or two squishy militia following a guild group.
This distinct thing happened several times last night, actually. At one point we had essentially wiped an SoR zerg, with 2/3 of it down. We lost a measly two militia, and almost every one of the SoR rallied…which turned the tide of the fight in SoR’s favor.
I’ve noticed that a lot of what seem to be SoR militia are pretty sturdy. How do you properly explain a build to them: A) without coming off as elitists,
SoR does seem to have a great track record in getting militia on-board and trained, and I think it’s a huge part of their success.
So to be completely honest, when you’re fighting SoR ‘militia’ even though they may be tagged up with many different guilds, it is extremely likely they are all in the same TeamSpeak channel. That is 90% of it, communications.
I have personally seen a commander go down in the middle of an enemy garrison, but because 80%+ of the people are in direct voice communications, capture it basically because they can quickly coordinate movements.
Regarding builds, I think people learn from experience, most people might not realise what they’re doing wrong, it’s hard for me to say what the right way to approach this is… It’s really up to the Guilds to train members… but I will say WvW shouldn’t be treated as a karma farm opportunity, serious WvW takes good leadership… after that people will follow good examples.
p.s. mour PVT.

The SoR militia (Rallians we call them) are very engaged. Most use the TS and they are actively asking questions about builds and strategies. When a major fight starts up and the squishier Rallians are downed on the initial burst, they miss out on the ensuing fight. Some fights last upwards of 20-30 minutes and no one wants to be sitting on the sideline watching. This in effect forces them to either 1) change their strat to how they approach that situation, 2) go with a sturdier build or 3) change armor to improve survivability.
I personally think the SoR militia are second to none. Months against BG forced the WvW guilds and the militia through brutal training. I personally think their level of play is many months ahead of other servers.
