The nice thing about facing TC, similar to what nick said above is that a LOT of them run gear with little to no defensive stats. Half of a large pug zerg will melt on the first push. We may still get overwhelmed by numbers, but lots of bags drop before that. And with outnumbered who cares. I think I made 4-5 gold last night.
Additionally a myriad of uplevels and just plain baddies. TC is like a lottery where even a losing ticket gives you $100.00. TC is like 1840’s gold rushing in California, despite not being the safest profession all the time even the most average player can find gold. I love this match up TC makes me feel like the Spartans in 300, sure we all pretty much die in the end, but the glory associated with said death is soooo rewarding. And with DB in this match up too they can’t just sit in their towers and upgrade during off hours so we can just break down those paper walls like a pinata and get all the tasty TC bags inside. GG on PPT though TC, your prize is……… oh wait there is no prize.
No, no, the prize is lovingly handcrafted, timestakingly golden posts like yours. Enjoy the bags.

What’s with all the FA alt+f4 players? Had 12 of them thusfar tonight. Did they not read the patch notes when they fixed that as a means of getting out of jail free? Not a complaint, ’cause I get my loot anyways, just wondering…

Those are all my accounts on FA. Their sole purpose is to Alt + F4 during fights and give Fort AltF4wood (a name from good ol’ T3 TC/FA/CD matchups) a bad name. Grats on the bags, you can pay me back later. Thanks in advance.
Btw thanks to the Bunker Charr warrior from DB with whom I had the honor of dueling on my Guardian for a good 5 mins or so on reset night on DBBL, by the lake behind SE tower. We both knew it wasn’t ever gonna end. It was impromptu, and it was awesome.

Impromptu duels are always the best. My 2 favorite randoms I had was outside the south inner wall of overlook last week during a capture while the zergs clashed inside.
I also remember a duel on my mesmer in the valley just west of hills keep. I was running north and the other guy was going south. We ended up dueling for 10 fights or so.

Maybe if people would refrain from posting such provocative post then this will be a good PvF match up, but oh wait… Whom am I kidding, we’re just trolls.
Cliffside became home to Trapaholics Anonymous last night.
FA in TCBL last night:
1. Wipe out NE Camp.
2. Stack up, roll on NE Tower.
3. WHERE DID THE SUPPLY GO?!?!
4. RUN AWAY! WE NEED MORE SUPPLY!
5. NORTH CAMP GOGOGO
6. Circle around to NW tower, try to invade Garrison from SW gate, get stomped.
7. Repeat steps 1-6 in a glorious exercise in futility.
By the time we laid out cookies, numerous banners, banquet tables, fireworks and Boxes o’Fun, nobody wanted to come to the Party at Cliffside
“…WORSE THAN ZEBRANKY!”
- Zoq-Fot-Pik distress call, Star Control 2
I…. I.. I don’t…. understand.
Before we go on, can you tell us more about your species?
In our ancient past, four species evolved intelligence on our homeworld.
Simultaneously.
They were the Zoq
the Fot
the Pik
and the Zebranky.
We three, the Zoq, Fot, and Pik evolved in such a way
as to acquire sustenance from many sources
from airborne zooplankton
from solar and ambient energies
and from rocky fungal clingers.
Our favorite!
The Zebranky also consumed a variety of foods
namely: the Zoq
the Fot
and the Pik.
To survive the predations of the Zebranky
we banded together
annihilated the Zebranky
and formed the cooperative union you now encounter.
What do you seek from us?
(distress call from the ZFP later)
“HELP! BLACK DESTROYER! PLANET UNDER ATTACK! HELP! WORSE THAN ZEBRANKY!”

I’ve already had 3 posts deleted so I’m pretty sure FA is winning. Jimmies have been rustled.
We have a PvF match-up this week?……i didnt notice yawns
I’m not sure if DB is capable of any type of matchup any more. In game or in forum.
PvF match up have been stale for the past like 3 weeks driven all our forum warriors away and this week isnt much different. In wvw i never see any FA beside like 10 or so……you probably dont see much DB either only TC ,also on that note not many TC blobs as there use to be population down?
FA talks all this smack about how bad every TC player is…but every time I’ve been roaming solo or in small groups (as I prefer, with like 2-5), every FA group has ran.
Last night me and a guardian in my guild came upon 2 thieves…I hit them with a Magic Bullet once and they started to run…we had to chase those guys down. I’m not saying all FA people run, but at least the ones I’ve seen roaming around TCBL were last night. FA, every match you make excuses and talk smack about TC…yet so far I have seen you guys zerg ball just as much as run from silly situations (such as the guild group from FA (I’m not going to call out the guild) who ran to one of our keep gates, got hit by 2 arrow carts and high tailed it back…then came back like 4 times only to run from 6 people, with 2 ACs).
And yes, I play for ppt, but also for kills. I prefer to not have wooden keeps, and make sure enemies get as few WP’s as possible That way, I can KILL more! And they can’t jut easily WP away from me

Im slightly confused they were suppose to tank two ac’s while killing you while your inside your keep? or is this just a declaration of how well you defended your keep then thats just swell….
You would think no PvP goes on in this match the way everyone talks about people running from eachother.
Props to the TC that chased me last night after jumping me soloing the camp in TCBL. I kited you until I got my health back then fought to the death. You have my respect for not running even though it was obvious the fight was over. Would have bowed but I suck at 1v1 etiquette.

Anyways,I just read that T1 thread actually, you were there telling everyone how squishy they are with winning comments such as:
First time fighting Blackgate and i gotta say they are a 24/7 meat grinder likes never been seen before. I’ve never seen sooo many bags drops ever. I thought about PVE after i saw the matchup was Jade blob quarry and Black mega blob Gate, but you guys are a bag fest like I’ve never seen. -—You
..and from the looks of your post history, I can tell you’re a very happy person.No wonder you got friends!
Here is also me in the same thread:
“In regards to gear it just makes the point of your blobbing again. We don’t normally need full PVT cause we’re fighting much, much smaller fights. You guys need all that armor for fighting BvB out there 24/7. To compare us to SOR or JQ is just laughable as they have to deal with you monkeys all the time so of course they PVT it up. Despite that anywhere near even numbers gear doesn’t matter as the OVERALL skill level is so lacking on your part.
The news is man for man JQ, FA, Mag, hell even EB are better than you. We have fought them all in recent weeks, all the PVT and PPT in world can’t save BG from the simple undeniable fact that for the most part you are simply a coverage meat grinder and that’s it.”
Notice how i don’t say BG is squishy they are bad, TC is bad and squishy. Also notice how i give props to JQ, EB and MAG militia for being per capita better than BG. It’s to call out baddies while making the thread more interesting, you’re responding so you are welcome for giving you something to do besides running yaks and role playing.
I’m not alone in my thinking about TC hordes and their inability to do much of anything without a massive numbers advantage.
Misery loves company.
On that note, I’ve opted to roam naked this week. Maybe it will make some of the FA roamers I see stay and fight instead of running back to their zerg (or to the forums).
My small group as opted for nude streaking backwards all across TCBL while taking shots for every TCer we see run. Totally smashed after five minutes of game play.
Define squishy for me., and I’ll give the quote again btw, and see if we’re on the same plane here:

It was 6v20 or so, and we had a wooden keep. If you cant take out 2 ACs that are sitting on top of a wall…something is wrong. I was basically just saying that you guys act all tough, but you ran from a wooden keep being defended by 2 pieces of (admittingly) poorly placed siege…I didn’t even get focus pulled off the cart Though a few necros did try to put some marks on the walls…

Okay I’ll play along then you can say you learned something this week at least. Blackgate is a meat grinder meaning 24/7 coverage pretty much full map que all time zones. TC has more coverage than us but is by no means at BG levels during oceanic or SEA.
squishy vs poor skill. Now these two can happen at the same time like in TCs case, but don’t have to. Squishy means poorly geared for group fights, zerker gear might work for duels and 2v2s but above that you need toughness and vitality for wvw. Zerker gear is the extreme, but overall it means not enough armor and vitality so you get blasted into the ground by one small man group focus fire, or running up levels which should speak for itself.
BG to their credit knows how to inform their legions how to gear, but they still have little skill, unlike a JQ that can both gear and has a pretty good overall skill level. BG provided many bags too, BUT and this is the key part it would take a sustained focus fire to get a guy down and keep him down because his/her well geared friends would also be trying to res. them back up. Meaning we have to keep them off the downed guy and try to spike the downed player all while actually having some stuff on cool down because it takes a lot in the first place to get them down. Bottom line squishy is poorly geared, bad is just bad and TC = both.
Dear god, I’m so glad I’m the roleplaying nerd here. Did you just actually broke down the word “squishy” into a very long paragraph? Could you at least break that into two, so it would look like you didn’t waste your time for that one word?

If you were referring to [HAMR] (as we did do this a few times last night) it would be because, we all run hammers. Can’t do much against ACs with hammers. We’re a guild made of several FA guilds meant to be fun, buold the community and hammer smash everything in our way. So come down from the towers and get plowed by our giant hammers plz thx.
