SF beats us in prime time NA no doubt. Too bad wvw doesn’t cater to prime time numbers. AR has kept both kain and SF keeps in their bl away from upgrades this entire reset weekend. Every night when our NA players stay up late to help our oceanic players out, we have kept our T3 keeps/towers. So it minimizes our overall coverage. AR is a server of opportunity. The score will only get more inflated once the weekdays arrives because like we have said….AR gets better as the weekdays come. Regardless of the pvd talk, in theory we at AR believe that we can attract more wvw people by not losing our ptt to night capping. A lot of our NA players understand SF coverage gap and take advantage anytime we get. So after all the SF smack talk in week 2 of season 1, we at AR are hungry to show we can compete against servers in an overall wvw fashion. When we night cap SF/kain it is due to server determination…not 100% oceanics transfers.

lol ok bro, I see you are jumping on the same train DH jumped on last week. Im sure everyone is happy that you are getting your server together and pulling yourself from last place, but lets not get ridiculous. A lot of people on our server is tired of wvw/gw2, im not sure anyone really cares about the score of this match up.

As always, the entire server that is losing magically stops caring about the score for the 1 week they get beat.

You’re losing cus they have more coverage, it seems. I just think it’s really weird when SF is losing that they don’t care about anything suddenly.

Ok, so whats going on with the AR/SF matchup?

We beat AR by the same amount we beat SF. AR has a night crew lol, that’s the main difference. SF beats them in prime time, but when night comes… Anyways. I’m really surprised by how poorly Dh is doing this week. I guess it’s just cus we’re against 2 servers that can defend their own BL lol.

Im kinda surprised by ferg as well. While they where seemingly outsmarting GoM in week 6 i was starting to miss the ferg zerg, glad to see its back. Seems like DH is closing tho.

Been alot of fun fighting DH this weekend, HoD is winning some and losing some. With the seriousness of the season over we decided to remove the DH squatters from our SM with 55 golems. (sorry fergs we beat you by 3 golems). Lets hope the rest of the week is as fun.

I think certain servers are going to be hit hard by the season ending. SF and Dh are probably two of those servers.

I get a sense alot of servers are spent from making every position count over 7 weeks (except AR ), I dont think you guys are alone in that.

clint.5681:

You dont know what is going on with SF…

I dont know whats going on with SF either but it does seem like something happened after/during week 4. I hope SF is back to being a terror by the time we meet up again

To AR’s credit they do seem like they are fire, and season 1 had to have been a huge morale boost for them. Im looking forward to see how they stack up against Fergs, DH, and HoD.

I’m not saying ALL SF cares about is PPT. I’m saying a normal amount of you probably care about PPT. There are PPT players and non PPT players in every server, that’s just how it is. I think you’ve got just as many as any equally sized server, or nearly just as many.

Yeah, I’m surprised by FC. Dealt a very bad hand in leagues and they’re still alive and kicking. Now, I do think that 1v1 FC wouldn’t stand much of a chance against Dh. But I think they’re doing much better than I expected them too. They haven’t given up like so many servers have.

>>Regardless, HoD had the highest population in bronze league by far.

Anecdotal and can not be demonstrated. I would suggest SF had greater numbers then us . When I did manage to get into Ebay we had a number of servers that had bigger numbers then us. There were weeks I went to all maps and got the outnumbered on at least two of them and in particular those first few days with SF.

Since the numbers are fluid it hard to accurately claim one server outnumbers all the others in WvW. One more time if a servers guilds work together more then any others and pull in guilds from other servers then they can give the “appearance” have having grater numbers as they get local number superiority as needed.

I recall one night in our OWN Borderlands having lost Garrison because we were outnumbered. I can not recall the enemy but they were well dug in and we had a treb set in Nwest tower. We had three guilds working to try and get it back and two were pulled to go to another map for an emergency. The one remaining was asked to stick around and give the impression we were still there in numbers so that enemy remain dug in.

If those guys in Garrison came out they would have wiped us. We just kept hitting and retreating giving the appearances that we still had numerical advantage, That enemy remained glued in Garri even as they outnumbered us until those other guilds returned from the other maps.

Now in a case like this those people in Garri think we outnumber them. We did not. As it turned out those two guilds that rushed to that other map bounced to a second to salvage a keep in trouble before they got back to us. In both those cases the receiving end would think “They outnumber us”.

The fact was maps were stripped to gain that advantage.

Now the need to do this waned later in the season. This again the bandwagon effect kitten experienced with that sudden drop in numbers.

That day of the Golem rush I was in our own BL all evening. We had the outnumbered all that time with less then 20 of us on the entire map. All of those people that FC saw came from other maps and were in fact attracted in those numbers just be wanting to SEE all those golems. They might not have come over in such numbers were it not for those Golems.

Of course it is anecdotal, anet doesn’t release the numbers. I don’t know why you would bother arguing this fact. I guess there are just two HoD players that are delusional enough to believe that they can get into more maps that are not queued therefore HoD has less numbers. FC managed to queue 3 maps during our last encounter with HoD. HoD queued 4. During the second to last week HoD queued multiple borders (4 according to various friends I have on HoD) while FC managed a solid 1. HoD can also queue EB throughout the course of the week where FC barely manages to queue 1. FC also has a larger population than anyone but DH and SF. People from other servers say that HoD has the largest numbers and those people have been from SF, DH and smaller servers like DR too.

These are all either very strange phenomena or HoD has the largest wvw population. You can take your pick but know that almost everyone on here thinks you are a troll or are blind to everything but that 1 skill.

Your labeling a person a troll because of a difference in opinion is both childish and petulant and shows exactly where you are coming from. As to your suggestion that you speak for “everyone here” I will take that as hyperbole as I think most FC players have a bit more class.

I’m sorry but claiming that HoD has half of the wvw population than over half of the other servers in bronze league is a pure and utter joke. And normally things this ridiculous and blatantly untrue are said by trolls.

>>I’m sorry but claiming that HoD has half of the wvw population than over half of the other servers in bronze league is a pure and utter joke. And normally things this ridiculous and blatantly untrue are said by trolls.

I am sorry. I never made that claim . Please point out where I made such a claim, otherwise by your own words it being blatantly untrue I made such a claim you are the troll.

The only statement I responded to was the claim that HOD queued every borderland each and every week which was NOT my experience as I got in thelatter weeks without a queue and the claim made that HOD had the largest numbers in Bronze by far which is simply not a factual statement.

Do not ascribe the words of another to myself.

We’re so popular!

If you’re talking about your response to me, I didn’t say HoD queued all maps every week. It was reported that you queued every map on reset in week 6 or so. That’s the point. Darkhaven, widely held to be one of the highest populated servers in bronze (along with SF), at best queued 2, and almost 3, that late into the season.

Psh you right that was that Lantern dude. Either way if you don’t have THE largest you’re in the top two.

As a third wheel in a match like HoD/DH or HoD/FC it would be tough to get 2nd let alone trying to get 1st. The difference is we just don’t have that consistent 20+ zerg fighting wvw/pvx guild. We have a few guilds that can just not on a day to day basis. Most zerg vs zerg fighting comes from our TS militia squad.

A DH/FC match would be still be a tough match but a little more in our favor. Maybe even an AR/SF/GoM match because both servers would be out for blood. If it does happen I am going to already claim double team haha! We all want to see a HoD/IoJ/NSP match. So we can get an idea of how HoD really stacks up in silver had they made the cut.

Yes and I spoke to this. I pointed out that I myself did not experience a queue when I logged in at my regular time. It might well be the SF matchup saw queues as we had been speaking in map chat how dangerous they would be and how we needed to ensure everyone possible was in wvw for those early days, which are the most important. In any case when I did get home that week I got into the HOD readily when I logged in.

I also suggested that this need not mean an overall greater number of players by far simply because of the bandwagon effect.

As example had SF won against HOD those first days and wiped many of our groups I suspect we would have lost players. This very thing happened to SF. The HOD numbers of hard core players might be the largest but this does not mean it therefore has the largest population in Bronze and it remains opinion rather then a fact.

I experienced those much larger numbers as a member of HOD when we faced some of those other servers now in silver. Those servers dominated each and every map each and every night we we could not muster the numbers to dislodge them from ANY of the maps.

As to our own numbers overall, I certainly feel we are in the top three or 4. I do think SF had greater numbers in their first week then we did. I can not and would not say that any server “Had the most numbers in bronze by far”

You make a very good point. It the consistency of numbers throughout the day that is most telling. There are not fewer points awarded at 3 in the morning. There are just as many. A Server that can swamp another with numbers during a 4 hour period then sees its population dwindle during those other 20 hours might have greater numbers but will end up losing.

I see this as HODS biggest challenge in Silver. How we stack up throughout that 24 hour period and not just at prime time.

babazhook.6805:

Oh not so rare. I tended to play our home borderlands a lot and they were overrun or saw upgraded keeps fall more then just a few times. We took them back by calling on other maps. If all maps zerged by HOD as some suggest we would never of had to do this. As I recall on that very first week FC was flipping a lot of our home borders with a zerg that had numbers we did not match. I distinctly recall one of those very early battles where they flipped Woodhaven and myself and the entire crew on HOD at the time wondering how to deal with those numbers as we tried to siege up Garrison. ( I do believe though am not certain FC then took Garri before we managed to recover)

People do not like playing defense as much. You flip less keeps when trying to hold on so get less of them champion loot sacks i guess which is why there always those longer queues for EB. Those keeps and castles always flip back and forth.

in the hod/fc/gom match (week 6), hod bl keeps flipped 8x, 8x, and 12x (bay garr hills respectively). that mean caps and recaps. so more than likely, someone penetrated your defenses 4x, 4x, and 6×.

hods keeps didnt fall “more than just a few times”. calling out your bullkitten.

in week 1, hod keeps flipped 92x, 14x, and 55x throughout the week. those are more reasonable numbers for an even match. hod was able to strongarm kain more than fc, or it couldve been close.

That is in fact the point I was making so how can it be bullkitten. The claim is being made HOD was rarely outnumbered on the maps. I pointed out that this could not have been the case as our keeps fell more then just a few times.

If we had the numbers those others suggest this would not have happened. We were outnumbered on maps . That the numbers of flips dropped shows the bandwagon effect and or a closer coordination between guilds. You tell me your explanation for what happened between the first week with all those flips and the next go round with FC?

AS FC lost its numbers dwindled. The same would have happened to HOD had they lost. HAD FC won those first matchups they would have been in better shape the second time around. This does not translate into a greater WvW population by far. It translates into the bandwagon effect.

A greater population by far would have translated to no difference between week 1 and week 6.

Of COURSE our keeps feel more then just a few times. Fergusons crossings is not the only server we faced .

Week 1 Fergusons crossing flipped our Keeps in Home Borderlands 69 times.
Weekittenneing flipped them 15 times..

That is more then a few times. (This is just keeps not towers)

Week 5 against Sorrows Furnace our keeps on the HOD Borderlands fell 48 times.
Week 5 against GOM our keeps on HOD Borderlands fell 19 times.

Rematch time for Fergusons crossing came week 6. You flipped our keeps 3 times. That is a few times but that only shows FC stopped trying against HOD.

If FC could flip then 69 times week I and only 3 times week 6 it not a sign our population grew it a sign your guys stayed home.

If GOM could flip our keeps 19 times the week before and FC could only flip them 3 this a sign FC did not show against HOD and not that GOM had more people then FC . FC flipped 65 keeps against GOM when they played them. So how on earth do you explain GOM flipping 6 times as many HOD keeps as you did a week later?

Darkhaven flipped our keeps around 20 times in our boderlands when we faced them as well. This is not just “a few times”. (again this just keeps and not towers)

The fact is FC stayed home when they realized they would not beat HOD and more of them stayed home when they realized they would not finish in the top three because of the schedule.

Prizes were underwhelming to say the least. I did manage to get an Exotic bow however out of that chest. That said I really do not have a problem with it as it stands. It would have been worse overall IMHO had the prizes been higher and all those last minute transfers to winning servers garnered those benefits.

I dunno. I feel like an extra reward for something that I was gonna do anyways (WvW) is just fine with me.

Yup… Not worth 1000-1800 gems…

I’m not mad about the rewards at all. In fact, I’m impressed. The rewards were exactly as most people expected, and yet still people transferred in droves under the assumption they would get something spectacular.

I find it interesting that in every tier on both the EU and NA servers, the winning team in each tier won every match they played. As well while I did not check all of them the trend was in any rematch against a foe they had beaten once before the difference in the score grew.

The score distribution of the remaining servers was also very close tier to tier with a greater “divergence” as one got to the lower scoring servers.

This suggests that early on in any season structured this way it will be quite easy to select the winner early on and the “Comebacks” are rare. The first time a server plays one of the ones perceived as stronger is the best time to upset them as the second time around the losing servers numbers will drop.

This also is reflected in non seasonal play when we have “reset” night. On reset night borders might be queued by all servers and numbers more or less equitable but if one server finds itself losing interest wanes rapidly. This made worse of course by server transfers wherein a guild or individual wants to be on “The winning side” and so transfers to one of the stronger servers.

The underlying strength of any server in WvW would appear to be the number of hard core players that want to “win” but do not mind losing. Those that are there just to win are too fickle and too ready to jump ship to be reliable.

For this reason , I think it would be counterproductive to make the 1st second and third place prize chests much more then what they were. We have a better “game” when there better parity.

I’ve come around to thinking the chest shouldn’t have been more. It’s not what anyone should have been fighting for.

We should make the first place servers in league league fight each other. :P
