But both SF and HoD can most certainly bring it during peak hours and I myself have had some good WvW fun during those peak hours.
Friday night, everyone playing till they dropped, was awesome. So many great back and forth fights, epic sieges and defenses, etc. HoD still struggles population wise but always seems to show up out of nowhere to hit you where it hurts.
Been a long time since BP has had a 100% pie.
Night capping is hard…m’kay? :p
At what point does it become day capping? We held almost everything till around 3/4 pm yesterday.
Right now it’s
BP 152,105
SF 52,418
HoD 30,020You don’t tripple another servers score 3 days after reset with night capping. It’s actually not mathematically possible.
First, I was just poking a little fun…don’t be so serious.
Second, my post was only in response to BP having 100% of the map controlled at the specific point in time that that image was posted…it wasn’t a commentary on the score. You guys have really good WvW participation, even in off-peak hours. You’re fighting against two servers who have very little to no off-peak coverage. Of course you guys are going to dominate the map by 12am-1am PST.
The scores are a different, but related story. You’re fighting against a server who lost a good portion of their WvW community and has been falling in the ranks. And another who is predominately PvE, struggles with tactics coordination (sorry my fellow SF folk, but this is really one of our weaknesses) and can be pretty fair-weather and leave for PvE when the going gets tough. Both servers spend a good half (or more) of the day trying to reclaim what was lost the previous night, but then loose it really quickly when their populations drop during the evening hours.
But both SF and HoD can most certainly bring it during peak hours and I myself have had some good WvW fun during those peak hours.
P.S. Please don’t take any of this the wrong way…this isn’t meant to be griping and complaining about how we’re getting our bums handed to us in WvW this week. This match is FAR more interesting than last week when we were dominating the map because there’s actually some WvW action. Just providing some context, that’s all. To be frank, this match-up is an easy win for you guys. And just as us Sorrow’s Furnace folks shouldn’t have been patting ourselves on the back and puffing our chests about our mad WvW skillz last week (which was pointed out by several SF folks last week, including myself), BP shouldn’t be patting themselves on the back too terribly much this week.
But winning isn’t everything…so let’s at least all have some fun with it!
O.k. you are going to think I am a jerk for saying this, but do you honestly think it’s fun owning everything? It’s boring. It’s not fun at all. I want you guys to get more people. I want your side to show up in numbers. I have only got to fight you a few times, and it was great. Most of the time it’s just a few thieves ganking people and not actually trying to do anything. That’s not fun to me.
I don’t actually think it’s fun for anyone on BP. We want to fight, not own everything in sight.
I also think that server transfers are an issue. I don’t think you should be able to transfer to a server in your tier, or higher. Of course I also think that the lowest three should be merged into the 3 above it. So the lowest tier would get merged into the next lowest tier. That should provide more numbers, and make wvw actually fun. I know it can’t be fun for the small dedicated group you have doing wvw. You might take stuff just to lose it, that’s gotta feel like such an empty victory. BP was there not too long ago believe it or not. We didn’t give up, but man it sucked. I remember getting camped right outside of our borderlands, and eb. It was fun at all.
Sorry if I got a bit defensive, but I’m really used to the jerks we’ve been dealing with these past weeks. I didn’t mean any offense to you, SF/HoD.

Tell your people to stop worrying about trying to gank, and actually capture stuff. Yesterday you had groups running around just trying to gank. There was enough of them to take back some of your stuff, but instead of trying they were just worried about ganking. Unsuccessfully at that. I’m not trying to say HoD sucks, I’m just saying that if you try to talk to them and say "hey you 10 guys running down the road chasing that mesmer (me lol, and they didn’t catch me) would go grab a supply camp we could probably take something.

On another note, if you’ve been pushed off the ledges to your death in the EB Jump Puzzle by a tough to kill Guardian (who usually starts busting out some sweet dance moves) with spikey pauldrons, a guild shield and long black hair… sorry but I like to troll when I get bored.
I haven’t run into anyone hard to kill from your entire guild. I just assumed you guys were PvEers.
I find that very humorous because we were thinking the same thing about your group. Perhaps our better players haven’t crossed paths yet.
Don’t mistake us for another guild on BP server with nearly the same tag: [WAR] Ascension

Why would I think you a jerk for saying this? It’s the same exact thing I was saying last week when we were completely dominating HoD and ET. 
Domination is good for only two things…WvW map completions and farming the jumping puzzles. They’re completely rotten for WvW action.
I also think that server transfers are an issue. I don’t think you should be able to transfer to a server in your tier, or higher.

Server transfers are most definitely an issue for WvW and it’s a hot topic on these forums. It’s a complex issue and are no easy solutions, but I certainly hope SOMETHING is done to help balance things out. Seeing casualties of server transfers (like HoD and ET) is really sad and is not healthy for the greater WvW community as a whole.
Sorry if I got a bit defensive, but I’m really used to the jerks we’ve been dealing with these past weeks. I didn’t mean any offense to you, SF/HoD.
No worries! Just take a deep breath and smile! We’re all here to have fun! And some of us on the other side can be quite friendly! So let’s all be friendly enemies and have as much fun as we can this week!

The two dot’s above the ‘a’ is what I was using to tell the difference, is that not the case?
I have killed a bunch of you guys all in 1vX, and on saturday you had a group chasing me around the back field of EB while the rest of my server let themselves be camped. Your two thieves, which seriously need better WvW specs, would save each other by preventing me from capping, and that would last till the full group responded and I would have to laugh and move on.
That said, I was mostly following your words: sorry but I like to troll when I get bored

[WäR] looks and fights nothing like Ascension[WAR]. =)
@warlord lu bu… No, we do not want to merge guilds, and no will not join your guild. [WAR] does not take part in the large zerg. We stand apart.

Don’t want to enter into a long discussion about numbers this that & the other. As Leader of the DKz in general I am astounded how this week panned out. Borlis players have really come together & formed a cohesive ’nation’. Given the politics of population etc I can only tip my hat to the few guys on HoD that are still giving us a great fight we have the utmost respect for you guys atm kudos. SF kinda had a lesson in humility this week as we will probably suffer if our guys get too c_ocky
You too have at times given us some great fights this week.
All I want to say in general is a great Thank You to ALL of our Commanders for an excellent week and Thank You to HoD & SF for a fun week of WvW. Still a few days of this mayhem to go yet but compared to AR you guys Roxxor!
From all at The Order of Digital Knightz [DKz] keep it up guys and salute!

As someone from HOD, let me say -that respect goes both ways. Borlis Pass is deserving of the score it has right now. The nights Ive been in WvW, you guys have played both efficiently and smart.
Regarding my server (HOD), the rumors of our death have been greatly exaggerated. Those who chose to stay through the past drama work well together and, more importantly, respect one another. We also have some great commanders that know leadership isnt about barking orders at random people.
Our issue is most definitely one of numbers – it is not one of heart.

Seconded. I’m also a member of HoD, and very proud of the community that was left behind by the massive exodus. Those who’ve remained fight with all their heart, even when it’s 8 fellows in an un-upgraded tower vs over 30 invaders stocked with trebs and all other kinds of siege heh… am looking at you BP. Thanks for the memories, it was all kinds of epic.
I believe the months of fighting uphill battles against the big league servers like Blackgate, Jade Quarry and Stormbluff Isles immediately after our server shrunk a third or less of its former size has certainly taught us important lessons; to shrug off all losses and try, try again. Anyone who would’ve ragequit at a death has long departed this server. In their place have come brand new transfers – people who like playing the underdogs and fighting to the death beside their comrades, before spawning back right after for more. It’s a much more positive attitude all round than the one we adopted while TA was around, when we expected the server to win 24/7. I feel much more bonded with the group we have now than ever before.
So yes, we do lack manpower over here, but we’re far from being a “dead server” as I’ve notice we get referred to every now and then. HoD does have bite… albeit a small one :P but you never know where and when it’ll hit next!
Alright, guess I missed the peakittening. And yeah, if there were folks boasting… well that’s just silly Sure the “world record” would’ve been neat, but come on.
edit: fwiw i don’t have a problem with going for the world record, i’d hoped it’d bring more people in …

Heh, peakittening. Oh profanity filter…what fun new words you give us!
There were a couple folks who were puffing their chests about how awesome SF was and patting themselves on the back (oh, we’re going for the world record, we’re teh awesomes!). But I’d like to think the overwhelming majority of us SF folk knew the real deal and that our score last week was only luck of the draw with the servers we were matched up against. And knew this week would be tough because we’d be going against BP. ‘Cause there were a good number of SF folks (including myself) who were pointing this out to those “World Record” folk and saying that SF shouldn’t get too boastful about that particular matchup. Hopefully those bad eggs learned a little humility.
Did you bother to look at the OP’s post history before getting bent out of shape about that post? Troll’s make troll posts, do not be trolled.
Er, wha? O.o I wasn’t even remotely bent out of shape about that thread. Nor was I even the slightest bit annoyed. Heck, there wasn’t even mild irritation. Unless you count that one sneeze I had when I was in the process of composing my post. But I suppose mild nose irritation doesn’t count as irritation regarding the topic at hand.
I did get a good laugh and eyeroll out of it though because obvious troll was indeed obvious. One can hope such a bad egg would one day learn a little humility, but I most certainly would never hold my breath (‘cause I’d suffocate!). I just posted my 2 copper in the thread in question (only to lend a little support to other the SF players who were defending our server and explaining that the trollish arrogance of the OP wasn’t the overall sentiment of our server), shrugged and moved on.
I only bring it up in this thread to provide a little context from last match for those who weren’t in the know (like the Borlis Pass folks) and may have erroneously thought us SF folk were indeed arrogant about last week. Sorrow’s Furnace didn’t learn humility this week, a good number of us already had it.

I will never leave HOD, no matter how small are server may be. We have some great people here and i’m sure you guys do as well. Lets continue having fun for the rest of the week.
I’m a sports guy, so I like to think of my starting server (Borlis Pass) as my “team”. Just because my team isn’t doing as well as expected doesn’t mean I’m going to jump ship and pick a new favourite team.
I really do hope more people think the way you do Shadow of Omega.

“SF and HoD are just as awesome as us.”
D:
You are no fun!
Surely you can find it in your heart to both love and hate us at the same time
Playing on HoD – this weekend is the most fun we have had in WvW in about a month. We had a few epic battles tonight specifically. Regardless of the final score, I’m looking forward to the rest of the week.
Haha of course, I just like to build up some rivalry :P
I will now be paying particularly close attention to the points now in this matchup. We are being flamed unmercifully by AR on their thread it is seriously pathetic QQ. I am asking our large alliance to back off on completely swamping the map in so that we DO INDEED face AR in the coming week.
@plok
Who’s trashing you guys?
Anyways, just wanted to say hello, wanted to just check in and let BP know how much SOS misses you guys. I can’t wait till friday. BP = SOS playground
SF we coming to the rescue!!!
