So does anyone want to have a fight night tomorrow a couple hours after reset at gom bl southern windmill?

I’ll be there

Heya, Merc asked for fight night to be such earlier:
“Reminder: Fightclub Thursday 9pm EST HoD BL (Yes, we’ll be nice and make the run)”
That’s 6pm server time, one hour after reset I believe. So if you can make it, come out! If we want to have two separate fight nights for whichever reason, that’s certainly fine too

On a completely unrelated note, I LOVE this new spinny heal! This was in the Cat Room in the bl jp btw:

Thank you, thank you.

Also, there will be some GvG’s going on an hour prior to fightclub so if you have group that would like to try it out all are welcome! Smaller groups can be accommodated but 10v10/15v15 is preferred.

GvG’s: 8pm EST (5pm server time)
Fightclub: 9pm EST (6pm server time)
Location: HoD borderland at the southern windmill

Side note: These events are for fun only and I’d like to respectfully ask that you refrain from posting any videos recorded at either event onto the match up forums. Thanks everyone, hope to see you there!

GoM = Skritt

Today is new shiny day.

SF is safe in second place.

SHINYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

But truth be told, if this was a close match up, I’d be annoyed. But it’s not. Our skirtt allies most likely left WvW for this week and all that remains are players that somewhat care about the league and those seeking to complete their daily.

Of course, some of us will play that new event for a few hours but then we’ll be back to WvW.

Yes… you won’t find a pile of wvw regulars in the new shiny… nope… nothing to see here, folks…

Hope HOD and SF like playing with eachother because GOM is pretty much done for the week. This match completely sucks and nobody wants to play. Will be glad when it ends. And to the SF who danced on my body…show some class. You are winning. Oh and that 70 man zerg that pummeled my group….Did it make you feel better???? Was that really neccessary? All that Bravado. There will come a time when you are in GOMs shoes and be a low population server try to remember that.

We -have- been in your shoes. We -know- what it’s like. We got over it. You want to talk about class and yet you complain about a large group of enemies attacking… OH… another enemy. If you don’t like how WvW is, then don’t play it. Complaining to us when we’re just playing the game is childish and useless and makes you seem like you’re kitten. I’ve been run over by GoM zergs hundreds of times when all I was doing was farming Iron Ore and Soft Wood Logs. And not once did I post a single forum post whinging and complaining about how unfair it was for GoM to kill an ENEMY (me) with 30+ vs 1. That’s what I get for running around alone, and I didn’t complain on the forums.

And honestly, GoM is pretty bad about corpse-dancing, corpse-jumping and laughing and crying when they kill -US-. But oh well. If that offends you, maybe you need a thicker skin.

Don’t get too caught up if you see emotes fill up your chat log. Here at GoM, we often /sit spam our own fallen allies. Unless, of course, our fallen comrade is a ranger. Then we buy candy corn and puke on him because he should know better than to bring a ranger into WvW.

Are people still getting personally offended for stupid things like corpse dancing and what not ? Sometimes it does annoy me and I might try to find the dude who killed me and get back at him, but most of the time I don’t care because I’m fully aware that I’m terrible at fighting anything that isn’t a thief.

Truth be told, if you thought we had any kind of chance, even at being second, you are overly positive. But things aren’t that horrible. Before the fight started, some of us thought we wouldn’t even be able to cap and hold things for more than 1 hour.
So up til the LS update, things weren’t too bad. After, I don’t know, I didn’t have too much time to play, but I’m pretty sure things got worse.

But next week is against ET and AR. So our little skritts will be back. Before they leave the next week against FC, HoD and the LS (then again, if it’s the fractal update, they might not all run away to it).

And yeah…GoM loves using emotes sometimes, for kind of random reasons >.>

ya cuz as a zerker mes u can handle conf, burning, bleeding, torment, plus immob and stunlock and another kid protecting perplexity runes so sad these days its funny how all u “mesmers” say u can handle condi’s so well yet when i ran condi war every mesmer in my path was dead before the fight even started with those 20+ bleeds stacks and 7+ torment stacks plus being a complete and utter tank with massive condi dmg not even burst from a shatter could take me down and if u were smart at all about perplexity runes u are aware most ppl run 40% condi duration makeing there conf last 20 seconds and if u cant clear that being a zerker mesmer ur just a sitting duck unless in ur case u just run away like a little girl and still die to the 4 other condi’s he stacked on u ill gladly duel u if u wanna talk kitten and ill crush u. cuz necros are pretty simple if there not cheese running perplex and even with perplex necros have very little stun and daze so it would be pretty useless and just the fact that u didnt beat him shows u have no right to even call me out little man when u grow a pair let me know cuz ill sit u down on my mes war and thief funny part of ur post is i never died to a shatter mes so i probs killed u alot this week cuz i did fight alot of shatter mesmers lol most of hod and SF know who i am i was from nsp and also ur coming at me yet u cant beat a condi bomb necro? once they let out all there condi burst they are just a sitting duck just pop null field and clean it up and i do believe i never said i had problem with condi builds unless u add perplexity to it cuz if ur smart about the runes ur not just going off conf ur going off all the other condi’s u can stack like burning,bleeding,torment and on top of that the stunlock spam and easily stacked conf from perplexity and ill gladly hunt u down what guild are u from? ill make sure to camp u like i do to everyone else that talks kitten on these forums im over here talking about perplexity being op stacked with other condi’s and u cant even handle a condi necro u add perplexity to any class that can stack condi’s easily and that conf makes u a sitting duck to all the other condi dmg sitting on u. i love how u still come at my D cuz i said null field not arcane thievery and perplexity every skill u use can be rupted causeing 5 stacks of conf each time and there stuns have less of a cd then null field or arcane thievery, ill make sure i got one of my buds hunt u down while im at work and if u lose to him dont even bother to hit me up cuz im training him to become better u lose to him u will deff lose to me and he will tell u that after he stomps u several times. and ur still avoiding the fact that i asked u wat guild ur from and i bet u were one of the 5+ sf that tryed to jump me just now in gombl just to get trolled after 2 of u ran from me 1v2 funny thing is i dont even main mesmer, ill make sure when i come back from work ill kill u with my mes thief and war and i will change to my condi warrior build just for u. im not in the mood to hunt someone down that could be running the other direction if u wanna duel meet me at the eb jp around 9-10pm

Having played these games long enough, emotes don’t bother me. I sometimes don’t understand them, like when you have a really nice long fight with a group and get /laughed at afterwards, but overall who cares? I just assume the people that /laugh tend to be the ones that aren’t very good so they don’t get a chance to do that very often.

I want to give a shout out to CoSA.

Going into this week I knew that the new PvE update would pull a lot of people out of WvW but I figured it would hit all the servers about equally. I could not have been more wrong. SF’s CoSA went into the last two nights looking for blood and found it. HoD’s core WvW guilds were left scrambling around like the proverbial dutch boy plugging holes with his fingers. We won some fights and lost some, but at no point did we get to relax.

Last night HoD’s lead shrank by 10k points. That’s one hell of an achievement!

So to CoSA for your sheer determination and great fights I give you a “/salute.”

Keep bringing the pain and I hope to see you back on the field again tonight!

There’s not much you can do about coverage other than recruiting so don’t dwell too much on total score. Instead, after every fight and every match-up ask if you and your group gave the best fight they could, if you were in the best place you could be, and if you learned anything to make the next one better. If the answer is yes to all then you’re already doing better than almost everybody else no matter what the points say.

problem is when people ask themselves if they did the best they could, they often incorrectly answer “yes” because they aren’t aware of what more they could do.

if they were aware, they would have done it.

if you’re not recruiting, you could be doing more. if you’re not helping train and encourage the less-experienced, you could be doing more. if you’re not promoting voice comms or on it yourself, you could be doing more.

the list goes on and on.

So i think the #1 question to ask yourself is: did you have fun?

So i think the #1 question to ask yourself is: did you have fun?

We’ve got a recruitment thread up, clearly stating our number needs, guilds involved with WvW, the fact SF is the only server with mounts (note: mounts not included), etc.

We have a group of aussies recruiting too. Its not by lack of trying. By default the “Sorrow’s” is negative and uninteresting. Then there is the prohibitive transfer costs of 130g/22$ per person. Then there is the guesting and seeing how terrible SF is at PvE which discourages many PvX players interested in becoming 300% hotter. Then they hear about some guilds not being in TS. The reasons why it is not working are known.

At this point, I think a lot of the bronze servers can only be fixed by merging WvW populations, ie: everyone knows DH can only win by nightcapping, so they’d be a good match for SF. FC and DR would be a great match too since they are stuck up on using SoR tactics, which requires numbers to be effective. AR, KN and GoM would also be a good match giving them great coverage since KN is another nightcapping server.

Ferguson And Devona (they could even story line this for that boring living world thing they do)

That way, all those who have any sort of warrantless attachment to the server cluster’s public name on which the character data they are using is stored on would be satisfied and we could have a more interesting league instead of just a few close matches here and there.

I think you’re mistaken. unless something changed recently, darkhaven does not really have a night crew, even less than SF does.

also your reference of SoR tactics is confusing. if you’re referring to large blobs in EB that is actually just a response to SF’s own 50-60 man blobs in EB.

If you merged AR/KN/GoM it would create a low-silver sized server that would beat NSP and IoJ and HoD but not sure how they would do against CD/Ebay

and as far as uninteresting names, thinking from the point of view of a freshly installed player looking at server names, I think the short straw goes to ferguson’s crossing with an honorable mention to eradon terrace and devona’s rest. you say sorrows is negative and uninteresting but Sea of Sorrows is gold league.

Sorrow’s Furnace isn’t getting transfers because 99% of transfers are to a higher rank. No one here is getting transfers. Kaineng was probably the last time a lower ranked server got guilds from a higher ranked server. It has nothing to do with names, recruitment threads, and only somewhat related to gem costs.

Here is anecdotal evidence: on Gate of Madness, the only guilds we got that aren’t roaming guilds were PF, TCMM, and Zombieland. Only PF was from a higher ranked server and they quit/moved back pretty fast.

Edit: The servers aren’t getting merged. They’re filled with people, just people who don’t care much about WvW.

I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point Anet decides to merge all PvE (except maybe Lions Arch) into maps no longer affiliated with specific servers. WvW and Lions Arch (maybe racial starter cities) would remain affiliated with specific servers.

Some merging server shakeup would be interesting to see. I would hope that after the seasons end Anet would create a sliding cost-scale where Anet judges the participation in WvW (rather than the total number on a server). The most populated WvW servers would cost a significant amount to transfer to and the least populated WvW servers would be free.

As if they care enough to do that… if it happens I’ll xfer to play with you guys and you shall be my Dear Leader of Utmost Commanding Prowess, I promise! But all they care about is money and free doesn’t look good on quatery revenu reports.

I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point Anet decides to merge all PvE (except maybe Lions Arch) into maps no longer affiliated with specific servers. WvW and Lions Arch (maybe racial starter cities) would remain affiliated with specific servers.

Some merging server shakeup would be interesting to see.

I think its just logical… If you look at the PvE sections of forums youll find people saying that the world feels empty(ish) unless there is a living world story nearby. If you look at the WvW sections of the forums youll find people either complaining about a “4 hour queue” or “My server has a very high population, but no WvW players”.

I love getting into WvW and seeing the same names and faces. It makes HoD feel like home, but I think that the game as a whole would be better if there were more very intense matches like the DHvGOMvFC Bronze League: Round 2 Matchup. A solution where we can achieve both of these outcomes is best.

No merging actually needs to occur to get balanced scoring.

I am proposing a merge. Universally merge PvE, and finding a way to merge WvW servers based on active WvW playerbase rather than only taking into account the world population. The proposal in the video is interesting too. Thanks for sharing.

That proposal is flawed on many levels.

*Color Stacking
*Griefer/Troll paradise
*Siege troll with little to no repercussions (think merged instances from WoW and the ninja looting that occured because there were too many players to know who was doing that crap, whom we were forced to group with anyways)
*VoIP or get insulted constantly
*Spies only need 2 extra accounts to spy at all times
*Creating a loser’s guild that can ruin the game for 6 servers at once.
*Server pride griefing (yes, there are a lot of losers proud of a server cluster)
*Refusal to play certain styles (like not too many like YB hide behind siege style)

I dunno if mergin even based on WvW population would work. I sorta feel like the WvW population has sorted itself by the type of WvW they want. Top tiers for zergy fights and bandwagons, bottom tier for small fights and die hards.

LOL, didn’t read any part of this thread until yesterday, then got tired of seeing the same old stuff from all three servers.

Yes, SF has good numbers. Yes, so does HoD. No, GoM doesn’t. Yes some players from SF jump and dance on corpses. Yes, every server has the same type of people that jump and dance on corpses so turn off the emotes and WP when you die like you should anyways. Yes, SF has no overnight/morning coverage. Did I miss anything? :P

I still have to laugh at how when (no matter what server you are on) if you got beat it was numbers and not skill, but when you beat someone it is always skill and not numbers. I like to look at who wins the PPT battle when each side has their numbers on. When HoD has their numbers on, they win the PPT battle. When SF has their numbers on they win the PPT battle. When GoM has their numbers on, well, they do not win the PPT but they have impressed the hell out of me. GoM, you guys can do a lot with lesser numbers. A few fights I have been involved in you guys did have more numbers than the group I was with and I had a hard time staying alive.

To those keeping it classy, good job, I have loved the fights this week. HoD, I hate having to fight you guys two weeks in a row, hopefully our fairweathers do not completely quit wubwub. But I think facing quality opponents like you guys is better for our server overall, it tends to but a spotlight on what we need to improve.

And this morning, [Dx] carried you guys to gain almost 20k thus rendering the 10k completely useless. Such is life on SF. Same ol’ same ol’.

There’s not much you can do about coverage other than recruiting so don’t dwell too much on total score. Instead, after every fight and every match-up ask if you and your group gave the best fight they could, if you were in the best place you could be, and if you learned anything to make the next one better. If the answer is yes to all then you’re already doing better than almost everybody else no matter what the points say.

Oh look, it’s the same ol’ advice we’ve been given from Yak’s Bend, Kaineing, etc. I’m thinking most of the PvE crowd got their WvW achievements but who knows, a lot run in with Berserker gear and just get wrecked, then rage-quit because things aren’t easy, or at least that’s the running theory.

Anyway, we do what we can and until A-Net actually puts something that allows us to hold on to our crap overnight, the same old thing will keep happening.

Is everyone as confused as I am? Here’s the story as I follow it: 4 HoD killing 1 HoD glass elementalist who is an engineer that I’m focusing down from work without having logged in because an engineer on my server did PvP by a vista in a PvP zone?
