Guild Wars 2

Yeah that’s right, I’m calling it early, wanna fight about it?

Anyway, let the anticipation build and enjoy your tier 3 placement, where you get all the fun of high level WvW play without all the nerd rage.

I’ve played in T1, T2, and T3, with the exception of some BLs and who’s assigned to them, there’s really no difference.

Well, except for coverage of course :P

Anonymous Waffler = Crystal Desert. There fixed it for you. I am excited too. But, but…I fear for the competitiveness of Crystal if the coordination and alliance consolidation that was started is not completed…

Should be a fun match. TC is hitting us pretty hard this week – but with 3 real full servers clashing next week, things could get hairy.

TCer here. I’m pumped for it.

Fellow TCer here. With no offense meant to CD, I’m dreading next week – our servers don’t really sync all that often and it’s just been give and take. When we actually get real fights it’s been fun. Great if you want karma, though, lol. When is Yak’s usually active?

Yaks are strongest during NA evening hours. They will likely out score you [TC] during NA evenings. I dare you to do better. They were trying to recruit more Oceanics…

Looking forward to it, fellahs!

i’m definitely looking forward to this one. i’ve been hearing a lot of good things about yak’s, but haven’t had the pleasure of going against you guys yet. i can’t help but think the score is going to end up being neck and neck and neck all the way down to the wire.

For the Toast!

I’m excited about this matchup – it’s been a mostly 2 sided fight in our current matchup (though for all of those HoDers who have shown in WvW, it’s been awesome fun to duke it out!). I’m ready to see what’s in store.

Bring out your best, boys.

Hoping for a good 3-way match. Right now in CD/TC/HoD it’s TC up 500 during the day, CD up 400 during the night, and HoD taking back their stuff whenever they feel like it.

So hopefully a 3rd powerhouse would stablise the point swing, and make for an interesting matchup.

If TC wins, we’ll probably end up in Tier 2.

I’m looking forward to it with fingers crossed. It’s not a given yet that YB will be there – we still have to hang on until tomorrow but are losing ground quickly.

If that’s the case, if YB is there it might very well have a bigger impact on TC than CD. We had no answer to CD’s Asian presence either but could very well bite into TC’s NA daytime PPT.

We might well end up with CD winning through nightcapping if YB and TC end up locking horns during daytime hours preventing a de-facto board takeover but can’t mount a defence against CD’s night zergs either

I think CD has won in the past against TC for this very reason.

Well, this week TC flattened CD almost 2 points to 1 despite their night zerging. So that alone isn’t enough to win they need the 3rd party to be able to prevent TC having daytime dominance, while the 3rd party also has the night-time blindspot that TC suffers.

Alternatively of course, YB might prove to a powerhouse and simply flattens TC whereby they’ll probably win the same way TC did in the TC/CD/HoD fight. Or YB might turn out to actually have a big enough night crew to give the CD night crew a challenge, in which case who knows how it’ll turn out.

I’ve been in EB this week, and CD generally gets HoD’s holdings without any opposition at night because we don’t have the numbers. Last night I made the call to let them have the HoD keep, and instead use those 15 minutes to double up on our defenses.

So if we have 2 skeleton overnight crews defending against CD’s asian presence, should be able to slow their nightcap ppt. Plus their forces would also be split, and if they hit TC or Yak’s, the other could hit CD and make them retreat.

Although if TC or Yak’s worked with CD, that server would get owned…. But CD would turn around and focus on them later in the night.

“The enemy of my enemy is my friend” would likely come into play, otherwise mutual destruction would likely be assured.

YB doesn’t have a big enough night crew to counter CD – we found that out last week when we played them. NA prime was even between us, we won Oceanic, but CD had an outright lead during Asian time, which was uncontested until the next day. They beat us by 60K but we still put 200K on the board, so it wasn’t what I’d call a white wash.

If TC beat CD 2:1 in score previously, with a bit of luck it could drag things back to being nice and even.

Not sure a skeleton crew will do.

I’ve seen nighttime raids by CD of 40 or 50 people. Usually highly co-ordinated – like they’ll set up 5 or 6 catapults in seconds and blast through the outer wall before a defence can be mounted.

But you’re right, with YB and TC standing their ground maybe they’ll be that much slower and less capable of taking and holding overnight ground. Either way, this is going to be an interesting week

Yep, the current post-oceanic crowd on FA feels similar to what we faced against CD. We dont have numbers post midnight AEST.

Neither do we really. We’ve got enough to about half fill 2 maps to defend our holdings, and still in need of more players if we want to break into, and then stay in Tier 2.

Skeleton crews are ok if they have enough siege to counter the enemy’s, but they have trouble dispersing the enemy zerg. We had this problem a lot with our matchup with SoS months ago, where we’d kill all their siege shortly after they put it up, but then they’d just autoattack down 80% of a reinforced gate because we didn’t have the numbers to get rid of them all.

coming from CD here. yes we’re owning during Asian/Oceanic primetime (8pm-2am) but apart from that we’re nothing. we lost many NA coverage few weeks back. so i’m not sure in this upcoming match CD can withstand the beating from both sides.

however, as usual, me and my friends in the HAX guild will always turn up for a bit of lulz , karma farming and levelling in WvW….

looking forward to it, guys !

This is gonna be a great game. I’m really looking forward to a fresh week of WvW and I’d like to thank everyone in this weeks thread for taking it as a friendly match. I will see you on the battlefield.
