Looking good Agg. Found the OnS vs Agg match recording. They picked you as their first GvG match? Doesn’t surprise me.
But, I want to talk about community. I will use a metaphor…Your crew [Agg] is like a sports team. You train your group synergy skills to a higher level than any amateur guild can hope to achieve. OK? I know how it works. I worked with you in WvW. The amateurs, or the “carebears,” as you call them, are the fans [PvX & PvE], ask yourselves; what is the point of the game if there are no fans? Be more careful. Let the community people do the “community” thing while you do your thing. Try not to upset the natives. Its a win/win if the GW2 community survives [or even grows].

I have spent a sleepless night to see what SoS is like when they are Zergballing and what I saw was hardly impressive. If you guys were not awake when everyone else is asleep, you would be on Par with Henge of Denravi. Maybe Henge is a underestimate. Perhaps Darkhaven? I can say this with all seriousness. Coming up the ranks, we’ve had the privlidge of fighting numerous servers. SoS is a tier 6, maybe bottom ranking tier 5 server ,skill wise and number wise. The only thing is their numbers hit when North America is asleep.
And so, thanks to Glicko, you will be able to suck points off better servers (like Ehmry Bay) because you can night cap all their keeps and hold them for a couple hours until they wake up and monkey stomp you. But the Glicko still awards you those ranking points. Until you run into Dragonbrand anyway, and get curb stomped back down into Tier 3 or 4 to repeat the process. Beware though, thanks to Glicko, odds are good you are going to hit Darkhaven and SBI at the same time.
After that the glicko works in reverse. Note how BP has gained nearly 40 points off of you. All your points have been vampired from Ehmry this match. Against Darkhaven and SBI, all they have to do is maintain a pulse and you will lose points. However I know both are reasonably competent, so they will fight so long as they don’t get demoralized. As such, you are going to lose a ton of ranking points will be straight down to tier 5, to spend the next 4 weeks crawling back up. Call me the prophet.
>All your points have been vampired of Ehmry Bay this match.
Have you NOT been in WvW to see us take your keeps in your own borderland and hold them for hours? Or are you colorblind? We take half your lower BL Hills/Bay easy and hold it for ages, until you scrape up some group to push us back.
I think he meant ranking points, as he is talking about the ranking system and SoS probably wouldn’t be getting ranking points from a server that is 6 server ranks below it.
I think its been a pretty good match up. All the servers have given good fights so I’m not entirely sure why people are complaining. So SoS has a good Oceanic presence? Their NA prime time is pretty good too.
All in all despite the few who want drama, its been fun.
Rl stuff kept me out of the game this week but last week was one of the best wvw match ups I have been a part of. Your server lacked the coverage ours did, but what you lacked in coverage you made up with in tenacity. We had some of your bls queued and you’d defend every tower like it was the last tower you guys owned (bp as well although we did not fight you as often) and that was awesome. I’ll have to say I regret not being on your side when we decided to move and instead having to fight you guys.
Nope, we were killing your golems, actually. It was interesting, we were balled up outside the camp so some of your guys did not seem to realize how many of us there was. They capped the sentry, and were looking at us, we were looking back. And then they attacked.
There were 85 of us We wanted you to bring the golems out, but you left them in the invulnerable area, but they were still in siege range, so that’s what was going on there.
Thanks to all the SoS that came and helped [BLNT] Take Hills in BP BL 10 Golems FTW

does anyone actually care about ranking points now with the random matchups, just kill and be killed, and cherish the fights.
You’ll go nuts if you care about rankings and score when you’re on SoS. One week we’re thrown into a fight we can’t win, the next week we’re thrown into a fight we can’t lose.

Oh nice, how many people were defending? Oh that’s right. 0.
Good job on your PvD.
thats because your “85” man zerg was on sos bl doing pvpdoor, so we took the t3 keep and let you have the paper
I don’t think anyone cares about WvW on a thursday night unless the score is incredibly close. So taking a t3 keep is the same as taking a wooden tower.

Yeah, but that same zerg also:
- dressed in pink the entire night
- took multiple targets with 3/4 of the group using only fireworks
- fought large groups multiple times while naked
- had people calling out “MORE FROLICKING” during battles with defenders
- knew everything would be paper by Friday AM anyway
Thursday night is generally just fun and loot bags unless the match is really, really close, so no one cared much.
Another fun night of fights in the BP BL last night. I want to thank both the enemy and our fellow Borlis Pass friends for making this a memorable night. Here are a few highlights from ZERG’s run last night.
Don’t know why but the GF guys LOVE to focus me, you would think they love me or something ;-} Anyway, GF’s strategy seems to be a very very very very good one since it seems to be working really well for GF (watch from time 4:44 to 6:50) Plus watch the mesmer ignore everyone else to attack me, now that is DEDICATION to the cause!!!!! (time 6:00 to 6:20)
P.S. Highlight of the film is at 4:52 where I get punted off the cliff, NICE PUNT!!!!! I was laughing my rear end off on that one ;-}
A special thanks to my fellow team mates of which without them this would not have been possible.

Also agg nice footage as usual.
Anyway, gonna stop stalking your thread gl guys!
Did I miss something and you guys transferred, or did you vacation to one of the servers this week?
Borlis your NA could always transfer to SoS, and be a T2 contender
Lol thanks for the words but i can honestly say this for most of Borlis’s commanders that we love a challenge. At the start of Guild Wars 2 Borlis was ranked 21st and since then we have rasied it to rank 12 next week.

Now I don’t want to be THAT guy but when the highlight of your movie is a 15v5 you should probably turn down the frequency at which you release them a notch.

Again, good job!
Yes, I can tell how little you cared by the fact that you dragged your entire zerg back to your BL as soon as we capped hills and then tried to join on my party to ascertain our position. Total apathy.

So we can get the karma from the hills you took.. duh. The party thing was probably to say good job using 10 golems to PvD a gate that you coulda literally built a treb to shoot the gate down and still capped.

15????…. Clearly we had 50 and we were outplayed by those that we ZERG’d down that chased us all the way around the tower;-p. Anyway keep out playing us we had fun.
A bitter fight between GF and ZERG gets kicked up a notch, and then SoS joins in
Nice! I didn’t get the KITE fight, but I got the 15 minutes before, including the rock fight from the GF PoV. I have to work/fun this weekend, but I’ll put it up eventually. In the mean time, here’s a couple others from this week:

Nice fight vids there GF!!! I know I absolutely “H A T E” being on the receiving end of those hammers myself. Keep up the good work out there….. errrr I mean make sure you bring your NERF hammers so we don’t end up with bruises at the end of the night(Jedi mind trick)
We have enjoyed fighting you guys this week, GFGH. Even if we try to run, you are like honeybadger, you don’t give a kitten! You are come to find us and kill us! Lol- we post our fights – 1 because we want to get perspective on our fights and 2 because we are new and we want the other servers to know that we are here and willing to play if you are but- I guess creating a new meta outside of the 30 man Zerg rushes is frowned upon these days :/

Well, to be fair, 2-50 but who counts anymore anyways. I mean, who wants fair fights?!? What is this SPvP?!? I say, If you don’t out number your opponent 3-1 that you’re just dumb :p when I see a solo roamer I always tell the map commander that he is a Zerg and to come Zerg him down!!! That will teach that scrub not to play that corny BS in my WvW!!!!
I’m not saying in particular that I want another week of TC (or worse) camping out in our garrison for 5 days straight; but I think we need a week where we don’t face servers 2 tiers lower than us and get a week straight of “you only win because of your Oceanics” screamed all over the forums.
You guys are skilled, we recognize that. The Oceanics comments are really just a factual observation. You have them, we don’t, and in a 24/7 game that’s a huge advantage, agreed? It’s also our way of saying we feel we can compete evenly with you on the field, even though you’re steamrolling us in the match. Maybe there’s a little jealousy there because its unlikely we’ll ever have that kind of Oceanic presence, but I have to add if having it meant moving into the upper tires I’d consider a transfer. The huge zerg fests, skill lag, and queues that come with upper tier status is not what I want from wvw.

For the bad lag oceanics get. I’d say the time zone “advantage” is just compensation.
25 out of 28 are devoted to SoR and BG arguing who has the larger East Coast vs. West Coast advantage.
2 of the remaining 3 are JQ people who can’t quit the drama.
The last 1 page is people wondering why anyone would want to take part is such massive, blob-driven chest-pounding.
Things have been said here that not everyone can be proud of, but I have to say that BP and EB have been thousands of times classier than the mess going on in that thread.
I think we can all agree that if Mag were to take the place of DB, that clicking on that thread would have an effect not unlike looking upon the Ark of the Covenant at the end of Raiders.
PS: I realize that might have been unfair comparison. BP and EB folks have been classy, period.

Posts on the forums are a skewed view in general, and once somebody on the other side insults someone, people tend to be more likely to view neutral comments as negative. I can tell you that the general feeling in BP wvw isn’t that SOS is just horrible. It’s rather that we can’t really tell how well we would match up with you because there is such a difference in that time slot.
You folks have lots of experience against larger and higher tiered servers, so it would be silly for us to think we would be sure to beat you if you didn’t have the oceanic advantage. But I think it is fair to say that we feel that if coverage were more equitable and you beat us, it wouldn’t be by anything close to 130K.
We wanted you to bring the golems out, but you left them in the invulnerable area, but they were still in siege range, so that’s what was going on there.
