Don’t. Just don’t embarrass yourself any further. I say this with the nicest intentions and no attempt at comedy: You are not funny. You are not witty. You make yourself look very immature.

Have a good one

Let’s hope in the near future we’ll have a european matchup with Gandara, FSP and AG! Best of luck Gandara and FSP!

I miss you guys, miss crushing your server zergs. Hope you miss us just as much. Good luck Gandara and co – We have been blessed? with 2 german servers ourselves \o/ – only time they are fun is reset :P

Think Positive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xyh-JpWdGmQ

Good luck to Gandara and FSP against Blobaddon.. we know they are really boring to play against to… So… Good luck and don’t be afraid… you can win a 5 v 20 but.. just avoid them to upgrade towers and keeps… They will make lot of siege and will be hard as hell to take it back.

I still remeber this screenshot that some blobaddon posted… http://imageshack.us/a/img835/131/gw595.jpg

So what i said, good luck and focus on them.. let’s teach to them that kids don’t like to fight blobs…

We just try to adjust us to your sense of “comedy”(and when i say “you” i actually mean Gandara and to some degree FSP too, not you as a person),but we are still far, far away from that level.

You may read some of the last matchup threads again, and after that you may come back and tell us if you think that comparing people to the Third Reich or calling someone a coward in a videogame is less immature and more funny.

My nice intensions are long gone. We tried to be nice, we tried to talk with you, we tried to explain things to you, but you just won’t listen. All that is left is to take the situation with some kind of gallows humour and to make fun of you.

At least we should thank you for the name “Blobaddon”. It is a sweet reminder that we are actually playing as a community where everyone is welcome. Although this brings some limitations with it, i prefer this to the some-random-guilds-playing-coincidentally-on-the-same-server-model you seem to prefer.

sadly, their blob wars mentality is effective for farming purposes but it does not belong in WvW, they dont seem to get the picture that lower tier WvW is about smaller group (I mean less than 60+) fights where some coordination and tactics is involved and u lose as often as u win. Not just jumping around maps shouting ‘BLOBBY BLOBBY’ and overwhelming everything by sheer weight of numbers.. If you want to do that then go to whatever those pve maps are called.. You will get more drops and make more money. Yes i get thakittens effective but seriously it makes for a crap match up because the only counter to it is doing the same thing and most of us would rather not bother logging in than do that.

First of all: I am playing on FSP and I’ve seen both Gandara and FSP blob up like there was a shiny on the commander, so if you’ve been part of that – now don’t you lie to me! – don’t go all ape-doo on AM because they do it on a massive scale that’s a bit of a double standard. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

The number of Guilds I know and have never seen zerging/blobbing up or run from fights unless they had the clear advantage isn’t very high – at least on FSP. I will not name any names because I don’t need drama. Just know that before you complain about too large group sizes on enemy groups, you should think hard about the sizes of the groups you’ve been in. (Granted, I’ve never seen a blob like I’ve seen tonight on FSP, but that doesn’t mean that smaller blobs aren’t blobs!)

To those complaining about the blobbing:

• Some servers have better coverage than others so expect to be outmanned at certain times. Nothing we can do about it except getting our PvE-players into WvW or quit our jobs and stop sleeping.
• Stop expecting the enemy to change their behavior. They seem to like it. Why would they change to something the like less? If you want them to stop blobbing, make them stop. Make them like it less by not giving them what they expect (loot and tick-points). Instead of asking the enemy to change their behavior, ask the allies to change theirs. To counter blobbing, we need to get organized and hit them on all fronts at once. If you have 50 people on a map make 2 groups of 25 and hit West and East. If you have 60 make 3 and hit East West and North. While one group will get crushed by a 60+ zerg the others will be free to cap things. Dying isn’t that bad if 50% of the time you get a free tower. If you have guild groups go for the Blob even if you know you’re not gonna win. Pride yourself on how long it takes them to kill you 3 on 1 or how many of them you can take down with you. It is great fun to occupy the zerg for ages while the map slowly turns your color. What’s the alternative? Blob up as well. Run around PvDoor’ing to see who can cap faster? Have a 60v60 lag-fest in Garri? Get wiped and get nothing in return? Forcing the 3rd server in the match-up to blob as well?
  TL;DR If you’re tired of blobbing start giving your team-mates kittens about their lack of tactics rather than the enemies. Your friends won’t just dismiss it as you being jelly of their mad loot.

• Individuals who are bored of the blobbing can do a couple of things as well:
  • Roam, run around on your own or with a small group sniping dollies (Do it long enough and you aggro a whole zerg by yourself. Great trolling, isn’t it? Imagine all the raging on their TS as well!). Flip camps (while watching for the zerg ofc). The time required to flip a camp doesn’t scale up very well above around 5 people, provided they are somewhat skilled. Use that to your advantage. Also great fun is finding other roamers and engage them in small-scale fights. In a 3v3 you can really prove yourself against an enemy.
  • Join an organized group. TS, group oriented builds and gear and some organization can really change the experience IG (also TS is fun). You’ll find that your skills start to matter much more than they do when just following the Blue Taco around the map.

To those blobbing:

• I do not want to diminish your fun. If you enjoy this kind of play that’s great for you.
  I would just suggest some things to you that you might also find fun.
  If you’re only in it for the Karma/Gold/Drops I suggest you have a look a Southsun Cove sometimes, where you’ll get even more of that stuff w/o skill lag.
  If you’re in it to make people rage – I know I am some times (*cough*EB JP*cough*) – try some small scale trolling. You’ll be laughing for hours if you troll an entire zerg with just a couple of people much more than you’ll be if you zerg over a couple of guys.

• Considering your sense of acomplishment: I know it feels good just to be part of taking a Keep or Stonemist at least the first couple of times. It feels even better to take it despite restistance, right? But is it really much of an accomplishment if you greatly outnumber the enemy? Don’t be too proud of yourself. Unless you are commanding, scouting or trebbing your contribution is fairly insignifcant if you take a weakly defended structure. If you fight an outnumbered enemy you are barely responsible for a fraction (smaller than one) of a kill. There are, of course, exceptions to the rule, like people who place AoE/Reflections/Combo-fields very well.
  This isn’t to say: “You are worthless in WvW unless you run with an organized guild” but it is to say “Not everyone is jealous of your Blobs acomplishments”. It’s not jealousy that motivates us ‘blob-haters’ – not all of us at least – it’s that we are looking for fights where we can actually apply our skills and who knows, maybe you’d enjoy that more than just steamrolling over a group one third your size.
  I just suggest you try winning a fight 20v20 (where you’ll experience a lot less lag and can use fancy things like heals, utility skills and combo fields) once and see how much more awesome you’re gonna feel. You can even try 15v20 or 10v20. I feel much more satisfied after holding my own for a couple of pushes against a bigger or even, organized group than I do after roflstomping a zerg on EB with the PUG-blob.

TL;DR I want you to enjoy the game as much as I do but I’m not very impressed by your ability to stay in a blob

We just try to adjust us to your sense of “comedy” but we are still far, far away from that level.

Look guys, one of them learned to use sarcasm! Keep it up, you are on the right path.

Vortigern.1987:

I would not even dream of comparing you to the Third Reich. Think what you want of them, but they actually had a well trained and disciplined army. You`re more like the early ww2 soviet army where quantity was all that mattered.

My nice intensions are long gone. We tried to be nice, we tried to talk with you, we tried to explain things to you, but you just won’t listen.

Yes, i am sure both Gandara and FSP are shaking, paralyzed with fear. (wow, i can use sarcasm too, yay!)

All that is left is to take the situation with some kind of gallows humour and to make fun of you.

If that is all you can do, i truly feel sorry for you. I dont like generalizing, but between this and the failed attempts of 12 year old wannabe trolls, the best conclusion i can draw from this is that your server is probably not the nicest place to be.
I honestly hope that the next matchup will be AG/FSP/Gandara. We might poke fun at eachothers sometimes, but i was almost never disappointed in the quality of the fights we had.

Vortigern.1987:

We just try to adjust us to your sense of “comedy”(and when i say “you” i actually mean Gandara and to some degree FSP too, not you as a person),but we are still far, far away from that level.

To claim that – based on some old match-up threads – the quality of the jokes made by players from Gandara and FSP are so bad that the person I quoted chose to deliver such a horrible retort in order to fit better into the thread is hilarious. You can’t possibly be serious about that one.

You may read some of the last matchup threads again, and after that you may come back and tell us if you think that comparing people to the Third Reich or calling someone a coward in a videogame is less immature and more funny.

Considering the mentions of the War, I am sorry to say that you – by which I don’t mean you personally – started it.

While I agree that it is downright absurd – and does not exactly show a great deal of maturity – to call somebody a coward because he plays cowardly in a videogame does not mean that no humor could possibly be derived from it. It is downright absurd – and possibly fairly immature – to imagine a Giraffe wearing a fancy hat, yet I am quite sure that there could be some humor derived from it!

My nice intensions are long gone. We tried to be nice, we tried to talk with you, we tried to explain things to you, but you just won’t listen. All that is left is to take the situation with some kind of gallows humour and to make fun of you.

Considering the nice intentions, I hope you do realize that is isn’t written in spite but as a sincere attempt at some friendly banter.

However, that is not the point of the matter. The point of the matter is the claim about the ‘gallows humor’.
I think we are not understanding each other clearly. It was not the style but the execution – no pun intended – of what you refered to as ‘gallows humor’ that compelled me to speak my mind. As I am sure you are very well aware, gallows humor is simply humor applied in the face of -well- a gallow or something similarly dire. While I might buy into the argument that, in the context of this game, the hatred which is expressed towards AM can be regared as a fairly dire situation, wherefore a statement pokeing fun at that would qualify as gallows humor, I strongly disagree that “WoW , u hit me so hard …. now i have to transfer to Crydara or Far Shiverkids and cry all day long” qualifies as humor! I claim, that statement is a dull attempt at a funny retort at best and an immature embarrassement at worst.

At least we should thank you for the name “Blobaddon”. It is a sweet reminder that we are actually playing as a community where everyone is welcome. Although this brings some limitations with it, i prefer this to the some-random-guilds-playing-coincidentally-on-the-same-server-model you seem to prefer.

Considering your characterization of our playstyle I have to agree with you that I do feel a lack of inter-guild communication at some times. However, we still welcome new players with open arms into the community and we have a strong population of casual players – which also helps explain are fluctuations in strength. On a side note, I like how you turned our teasing nickname into a compliment but it was really meant as I reminder that you like to rely on large numbers in one place rather than tactical finesse.

Have a nice day.

Ag here, reset was not ok for me, we start we went to bay riverside side had 50 againist an other 40 of drakkar everything started lagging we couldn’t do much we our 15 people.
I stopped playing for 1 hour to see if the lag left.
I come man Riverside has most of Ag map we start do the breakout, Riverside is there is literally the full map in one point i’m talking about 90-100 guys literally the biggest blob that i ever seen.
I stopped playing, we went do PVE if wvw is that i don’t want be part of that.

Blobbing work, map is too small to not make it worth, to counter that you need group we much more skill that blob itself.
IF you run in a blob everytime you play YOU’RE NOOB and you will get no respect from anybody. to anyone calling superior tactic and we play for points , you know nothing about this game and you disrespect you enemy playing like, enjoy winning in game that nobody want to play, YOU WON BLOB the other player left.

I honestly hope the AM guys are better at the game than they are at trolling

If troll the same way they play, you’ll just have 60 people posting “1” very soon
Jokes aside, bad troll is bad.

Amelia Knox – You should of stayed TUP rolled out seeing the battlemarkers camping our allies in spawn, and smashed the kitten outta that big blob (not the biggest we’ve seen, but then we look for them every raid) and proceeded to knock them out of zone inch by inch, loot bag by loot bag.

To everyone else worrying about blob this blob that. Look within yourselves. Get yourselves 20-30 brave crazy samurai’s and train. Look for the blob, fight the blob, beat the blob. Zerg farming is delicious. Just ask the 2 german servers tonight – well over 1,100 kills in 5hrs not a bad return for a guild group.

AM I look forward to watching 80 of your blob cower in towers behind 10 acs once again.

Funny thing, French server blobs have more courage than you guys during the week ahead you will hide and use ACs, a server like Augury Rock their community, their zergs keep coming. Ala – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTdy1ydcXoI something like that.

Enjoy the week!

We’re just adapting the playstyle of the most successful server of europe.

But we also got some (not many) halfway skilled guilds. You can ask Red Guard who they are.

Well … i have to admit, this one is indeed funny.

To be honest, i fear, i put you in the same box with some of the other trolls, and i’m sorry for this. It seems i’m getting a bit defensive and unfriendly after the last few weeks. As you can see we have people from AG in this thread moaning and bragging about a completely different matchup, so you may understand what i’m meaning.

While i’m not taking offense in the term “Blobaddon” as such, i have some serious doubts, that it was meant in a friendly and teasing way. I guess with the given context, it can be seen in the same league with “Crydara” and “North Shiverkids”. “An eye for an eye”, if you want to put it this way.

“Crydara vs Blobaddon vs North Shiverkids”. Hm… doesn’t sound bad as a thread title, i guess.

So, I was just roaming gandaran BL when I got to vale looking for a warrior who deserved a little whupping when I came across… well…. this.

What in the name of the Eternal Alchemy is up with all those trebs? Are you that bored?
Also shoutout to the mesmer who moa-morphed me and burst me down… that was very well done. He did, however, ask me to leave his party when his teammate startet discussion something about building arrow carts Thanks to my German skills I now know they have Arrow Carts… somewhere.

What’s an Arrow Cart? Well, joke aside, i think i saw one a couple of weeks ago, they are very rare on our borderland, you know.

But we love Arrow Carts and Trebs are like Arrow Carts, just with boulders, so we love them too. We need no special reason to build them, we are doing it just for fun. I just wish we could afford more of them …

Stop flamewars – start to play…

and if you play the game of thrones – you win or you die !!!!

@Abaddon: psssssssssssssst :-))))))))))

Amelia Knox.9362:

YOU’RE NOOB and you will get no respect from anybody.

And whining in other match-up threads and pretending to be outnumbered all the time (which is obviously a lie) will get you respect? Seriously?

We want to change our name … Blobaddon is out … Trebuddon is better !

As a player of AM I have to say I am really sorry.

Reading this forum thread made me realize just how much better Far Shiverpeaks and Gandara are playing. Every player of them is literally a superior player to any of ours, and because of that we had no chance in this matchup. I mean last week we were in paradise where we only had to stand our ground against Baruch Bay, that basically had no players anywhere for the whole day, and Augury Rock which had no good players at all. But now, after we showed that we could take a fight with those lousy T3 servers we had the bad luck to be matched against you in T5. Since T5 is so much harder than T3 (5>3 after all) we now have to realize that we don’t stand a chance against you.

So I have to say, I am sorry. Sorry that our bad play, that is dissapointing for you that so many people have to complain about it here. Sorry if our inability to understand the basic mechanics of WvW leads you to be ashamed of having to play against a server as low as we are. Maybe one day we will get it. One day we will learn to play like you, and show that we are ready for T5. Maybe one day we will finally be able to compete with you, maybe sometime the day will come, that someone of us will be able to win a 1vs1 fight against one of you mighty and honourful wariors. Until this day we will have to. As you all said, we just have to realize, that we should all run in small guild groups, and stop encouraging our normal PvE playerbase to play WvW. But you manage to fight against the server with medium population, that outnumbers your super professional organized small guild groups, that are so much stronger then anything we have ever seen anywhere, especially not on Baruch or Augury, where you only find some random blob guilds like Bull or Red Guard. So I beg for your forgiveness, and please teach me how you manage to stomp us so hard as you do

The amount of hate and tears in this thread would even turn Yoda into a wrinkled Sith ball of rage….

Meh, can’t say I’m particularly excited about this match up, but thank you to the Ranger from Abbadon that broke off from the collective and gave me a good 1v1, That Beastmaster build is a real tough build to crack, but it was a fun fight. I wish more people from Abbadon would break away from the pack and entertain me. I’m no good at 1v30s.

To be honest I am quite excited to farm some german loots bags

TL;DR
also something… about sarcasm being the lowest form of wit….?

Guys, let’s all settle down and enjoy one of my favourite folk songs. I bet you know it, it’s Blob Dylan’s “Blobbing in the Wind”.

How many guilds must a blob blob down,
Before you can call it a blob?
How many keeps must a zerger cap,
Before he’s bored with his WXP?
Yes, and how many buffs must the arrow cart gain,
Before they’re forever spammed?

The answer, my blob, is blobbing in the wind,
The answer is blobbing in the wind.

How many years can a blob train exist,
Before it is done its PvD?
Yes, and how many years can some people exist,
Before they get bored of blobbing?
Yes, and how many how many times must a man turn his head,
And pretend that he just doesn’t blob?

The answer, my blob, is blobbing in the wind,
The answer is blobbing in the wind.

How many times must a man press heal,
Before he can actually heal?
Yes, and how many skills must one man have,
If all he does is blob?
Yes, and how many blobs will it take til he knows,
That too many people have blobbed?

The answer, my blob, is blobbing in the wind.
The answer is blobbing in the wind.

Good luck to Gandara and FSP against Blobaddon.. we know they are really boring to play against to… So… Good luck and don’t be afraid… you can win a 5 v 20 but.. just avoid them to upgrade towers and keeps… They will make lot of siege and will be hard as hell to take it back.

I still remeber this screenshot that some blobaddon posted… http://imageshack.us/a/img835/131/gw595.jpg

So what i said, good luck and focus on them.. let’s teach to them that kids don’t like to fight blobs…

OH NOES! SOMEONE WANTS TO KEEP THEIR POINTS!
I really like how servers we aren’t playing against are crying about us. Gandara and FSP have the right to cry on their own.
…those words from a guy playing on a server, who calls 50-70 man groups “guild groups” and not blobs. I just cannot take you serious anymore.

Last week gandara had it way to easy and all the pve pugs come running for what ever reason (easy kills/wxp/vistas etc)

We are now in the same position as Arborstone last week and guess what everyone cry cry so much.

I play wvw for different reasons to everyone else I have fun and yes I like winning but taking part is much more important to me

Everyone has different tactics, germans blob, EU server like guild groups everyone plays how they like to play.

Remember people its just a game and games are meant to be fun. The serious stuff happens in real life.

Have fun and see you on the battlefield.

When we start seeing an AM guild group by itself, and it’s using smart tactics and chooses strategic places on the map to go for, maybe then we’ll start having some respect for you.

But when the only thing we ever see from you is 60+ blobs, that even then often can’t beat smaller zergs, and when you basically just headbutt the nearest group of enemies; when you can’t make a sneak attack, or put any more thought into your charges than “just run at them”; when we see that, that’s why no server you’ve played has any respect for you.

Because you don’t play intelligently, you just play with brute force and stupidity.

i can somehow understand Gandara – since i played on that server for several months.
They actually have a few decent wvw guilds but they lack of support from casual wvw players.
For example: the unselfish jobs like guarding objectives, escorting “bessies”, tapping siege,
upgrading objectives and so on are kinda neglected on that server.
They wanna roam around with their guildgroups and encounter opponents (but preferrably
less or the same size tho) – but its more like “closed community”. There is (or better was) no one
“in duty” to motivate the casuals.

Abaddon is different:
- wvw community (incl. commanders) always welcome new players and casuals and let them be involved into the
action – our wvw guilds know that they are a very important force.
- even casuals do the unselfish jobs of guarding, escorting and such since we see the wvw community as a whole
- there are 400+ ppl on TS3 at reset weekend with musicbots and lots of nonsense too XD it’s more like a big and often hilarious party!
- running in a big group can be really funny – despite the lag that occurs now and then…and we just play for fun!
- last but not least: we dont take it too serious if we get wiped or lost important objectives…
we try to learn from it but we dont blame others for that (we will strike back instead

Abaddon is a middle populated server but my rough guess is, that almost every 2nd Player on there is at least
a casual WvW Player. And this is what makes the difference in style of play. You chose the way of
“closed community” and we have chosen the way of “everyone is welcome” – makes it harder for the commanders concerning tactical gameplay,
but the the benefit of having a big force and all the fun that comes along with this style more than compensate for this.

My suggestion: at least try it once to recruit and integrate casual wvw players and stop blaming
others for their more broad community biased style – its a Win-Win…believe it or not!

To be honest, Abaddons seem to have improved alot since last time we met. We encountered [FAME] and [ADAC] moving separately last night on Gandara BL, often accompanied by a following of randoms, but not always, which is a big step for AM. Not all on the same spot :o:o:o

While Abaddons don’t have any groups who can go toe to toe with any Gandara or FSP guilds in a fair fight, their randoms are so much better coordinated than ours that I can’t say they don’t deserve to be walking all over us. Last night several commanders at various times tried on our map to rally the pugs and gather them up, and yet the commander rarely had more than 20 people with him, despite the map being full and there being no other commanders or guild groups on the map (other than 10 Dius). There was a sea of players standing around aimlessly between Sunnyhill and Garrison, pointlessly auto-attacking garrison gate and killing freakin Moas, waiting around for someone else to get stuff done for them, and stubbonly refusing to read map-chat or get on TS to help the commander. When was the last time you saw any more than half-a-dozen players on our TS, other than guild groups? There’s a difference between not wanting to blob, and not doing anything useful whatsoever.

While it’s boring for our guilds to be constantly out-numbered 4:1, if Gandaran infantry can’t be bothered to get off their arses, meaning our 10-20 man guilds are trying to fight the entirety of AM server on their own, that’s hardly AM’s fault.

We gotta pick up our game Gandara. That doesn’t mean we have to blob up into 1 mega-zerg, but it does mean that players have to make an effort to make themselves useful, instead of standing around waiting for someone else to sort things out, or logging out and hoping it’ll all be better later.

mass arrow carts killing zergs? no kitten! tell me more sherlock

no way!
AM best blob EU
Also – lootbags

To long ago that you saw a Vizu blob isn’t it? 20 October was the last time, they did not got smaller, in the meantime. They got 100+ or Vizu stay inside the keep collecting more players till they reached 100+! I only believe that Abaddon is the best Blob server when I see them side by side in an Aba – Elona -Vizu match

As a player of AM I have to say I am really sorry.

Reading this forum thread made me realize just how much better Far Shiverpeaks and Gandara are playing. Every player of them is literally a superior player to any of ours, and because of that we had no chance in this matchup. I mean last week we were in paradise where we only had to stand our ground against Baruch Bay, that basically had no players anywhere for the whole day, and Augury Rock which had no good players at all. But now, after we showed that we could take a fight with those lousy T3 servers we had the bad luck to be matched against you in T5. Since T5 is so much harder than T3 (5>3 after all) we now have to realize that we don’t stand a chance against you.

So I have to say, I am sorry. Sorry that our bad play, that is dissapointing for you that so many people have to complain about it here. Sorry if our inability to understand the basic mechanics of WvW leads you to be ashamed of having to play against a server as low as we are. Maybe one day we will get it. One day we will learn to play like you, and show that we are ready for T5. Maybe one day we will finally be able to compete with you, maybe sometime the day will come, that someone of us will be able to win a 1vs1 fight against one of you mighty and honourful wariors. Until this day we will have to. As you all said, we just have to realize, that we should all run in small guild groups, and stop encouraging our normal PvE playerbase to play WvW. But you manage to fight against the server with medium population, that outnumbers your super professional organized small guild groups, that are so much stronger then anything we have ever seen anywhere, especially not on Baruch or Augury, where you only find some random blob guilds like Bull or Red Guard. So I beg for your forgiveness, and please teach me how you manage to stomp us so hard as you do

Why do all you german servers talk about how to play WvW correctly, then post screenshots of you reducing another servers point tick to 0 at some ungodly hour in the morning. Surely playing correctly and amassing a score would involve some form of opposition from enemy players, no? Given that WvW is a PvP area and PvP kind of implies actually having some players for your players to fight.

I run with 15-20 yesterday i was outmanned most of the time, i’ll try to post a video, i can’t steam but i’ll make a video to let everybody understand, right now aganist german server, maybe aside drakkar because the have less numbers and also miller because the blob much less, with 15-20 we can’t really fight, If anyone think that going aganist double you size is balance you mind problems. Pvp without balance is useless.
Small roaming is still ok but small-medium size guild the can’t do kitten and have fun.
Nobody claim that guild are better than the blob, so shut up. We said that if you’re skilled in a blob it doesn’t matter, if you run away from one third of your size, you’re also a coward. For skill i hope you guys are and this bullkitten get fixed soon.

I could also post some FS/Gandara players laying on ground vs thief or guardian (my necro’s build isn’t well for fights below 10 players each side). Or of the rare cases I don’t run alone but in a group of 5 and meet another group of 5 or so (that cases in which your 5 ppl don’t run away).
Each time we did groups of 10-15 to attack something (except supply camps) we got attacked by 30+ [insert some crying server’s name here] – but hey if we run with 30 it’s a blob.
Btw. You’ve been killed by 1 Abaddon thief? You have some options:
- make a cry post about Abaddon blobs here
- make a hate post on thiefs
- do both

but just ignore them,dont retake keep/tower leave the map completly blue and just roam play,who care about keep or point really.

Please, AM, just win this week so you can go up in the ranks, and then stay there. Stay far far far away from us. No one likes you.

Also, think positively.
If you let them win big time this week, their rating will rise so much that they will get teamed up with servers from higher tiers than lower. Just help them go up to get rid of them.

edit: Some guy had the same thought about this issue. gratz riselight

Also, if any GvGs are arranged in this matchup, post a twitch link or sth so we can watch them.

You can call it “Blob” or whatever you want, but for me it’s just a sign of a way more “healthy” community – and this “one community” is a big goal in this game and Abaddon shouldn’t be ashamed of that, but be proud of it!

i can somehow understand Gandara – since i played on that server for several months.
They actually have a few decent wvw guilds but they lack of support from casual wvw players.
For example: the unselfish jobs like guarding objectives, escorting “bessies”, tapping siege,
upgrading objectives and so on are kinda neglected on that server.
They wanna roam around with their guildgroups and encounter opponents (but preferrably
less or the same size tho) – but its more like “closed community”. There is (or better was) no one
“in duty” to motivate the casuals.

Abaddon is different:
- wvw community (incl. commanders) always welcome new players and casuals and let them be involved into the
action – our wvw guilds know that they are a very important force.
- even casuals do the unselfish jobs of guarding, escorting and such since we see the wvw community as a whole
- there are 400+ ppl on TS3 at reset weekend with musicbots and lots of nonsense too XD it’s more like a big and often hilarious party!
- running in a big group can be really funny – despite the lag that occurs now and then…and we just play for fun!
- last but not least: we dont take it too serious if we get wiped or lost important objectives…
we try to learn from it but we dont blame others for that (we will strike back instead

Abaddon is a middle populated server but my rough guess is, that almost every 2nd Player on there is at least
a casual WvW Player. And this is what makes the difference in style of play. You chose the way of
“closed community” and we have chosen the way of “everyone is welcome” – makes it harder for the commanders concerning tactical gameplay,
but the the benefit of having a big force and all the fun that comes along with this style more than compensate for this.

My suggestion: at least try it once to recruit and integrate casual wvw players and stop blaming
others for their more broad community biased style – its a Win-Win…believe it or not!

From watching AM videos I can definitely tell they’re having fun with their style of play. Grouping up into as big a group as possible and steamrolling everything smaller is also the most effective strategy at the moment, especially when the opposition tends to ignore the important tasks such as scouting/sieging up/upgrading.

I’m pretty sure everybody on Gandara knows this. When speaking for just myself though, When there is a group of players of the general size of an AM ‘blob’ (even if it’s allies) around, my FPS drops to around 5. When groups of that size start tossing skills around, my FPS drops to around 0.2, meaning even running away will be impossible and I’ll just have to wait till they’ve stopped using skills to I can port back to spawn.

I have zero issues with groups up to around 15-25 fighting each other; I can even record those fights and play normally. Until the time somebody donates me a better computer, I’ll just be praying Anet does something to discourage blobbing up or that we meet enemies that use smaller guild groups.

There are plenty of those servers around that I can have a lot of fun playing against, as my game will actually function correctly. Whenever we are up against AM though, it means one server will definitely not be providing any playable fights and odds are people will group up to compensate on the other servers as well. Leading to me even being unable to be close to my allies and still play.

I know there are people with similar issues to mine, that log out saying the game is unplayable after trying for an hour or so to play and have fun. This almost only occurs against certain servers, where AM is one of the biggest culprits. This is a big reason for hating any match-up involving AM for some people, aside from the obvious issues such as skill-lag.

Anyway, I’m glad they’re all having fun, I’ll just hope for a fun time next week. Seriously hate the new matching system as we had finally dropped back to some playable tiers.

community =/ blob, you can have a great community without blobbing, blob breaks the game, it can’t handle 80 people, for now you didn’t face an other big blob, when a 80vs80 not even autoattack works, so much fun.

Every time I open the WvW Matchup sub forum… This thread title makes me grin.

Nemesys.7251:

but just ignore them,dont retake keep/tower leave the map completly blue and just roam play,who care about keep or point really.

they are playing the game in the right way,we not so just let they play it ignore them and do our game,1 week pass fast.

German servers are funny but boring… Anet should move all the german servers into their own ranking league where they get to fight each other all the time and enjoy their epic number 1 spam and whoever can build the most siege(arrow carts anyone)… They can have a 3 way sitting in each keep all night waiting for someone to roam outside their walls while they tell jokes on comms lolol

They are playing a totally different game to the rest of us, and are still points fanatics even though incase you guy’s weren’t aware points don’t mean anything guys the match up’s are random and they didn’t mean much previously anyways besides who wanted to pv door the most.

There is only a handful of decent german guilds that I’ve seen in action so far (DW(riverside) Mya (MS)) they know how to play the game… just a shame about the rest of Deutschland. They could really learn a lot from these good guilds, but they choose to ignore that.

There is no love lost between other servers but they are universally united in their opinion of german bore zergling servers and no it’s not a national server thing… because augury and Baruch can actually fight in the open.

I just laugh at all the zergling pride going on in this thread, while they try to ignore or forget memories of being wiped by a force atleast 3 or 4 times smaller… for me that is the ultimate embarrassment and would rage quit if that ever happened… its obvious to spot the easy mode servers who are full of excuses to encourage their style of boring play instead of man up and improve their actual fighting in a pvp enviroment, so much fraps footage of german megablobs running away afraid to fight its sad.

Oh my gawd I just remembered how many times Abadons kept switching map last time we fought them to get away from us tee hee hee… hallmarks of the best server EU, keep up that impressive fighting spirit guys you are a inspiration to us all we could learn a lot from you and your meta gameplay

Good luck to Gandara and FSP killing who ever zerg’s the most

/kind regards your favourite Tuppie <3

Seems you guys are better in writing than in playing. Last night i saw 1 rly good engineer from Gandara i think. Apart from that all enemies i met in 2v2 or 2v3 were kinda overwhelmed fighting the mighy two man AM blob.
If AM = onlyblobnosklill then Gandara and FSP = onlycrynoskill

Knallstoff’s here for his 5 mins of fame. Ladies and gentlemen a round of applaus please!

And the crowd goes wild!
