I’m sure ZN will have a great time on FA, but why join a server that already has a stacked NA? A server like Kaineng (hint hint) would benefit waaaay more from one more NA guild. NA timezone is easily FA’s strongest and they proved it last night instantly queueing any map they pleased with so many players it crashed 0.o
Either way, FA will rock this matchup every NA prime time, they just have so many guilds online and enough numbers to pull off really crazy (and pretty darn clever) tactics, while also holding their own ground. To be quite honest I dont think I’ve played any NA force that felt quite so stacked in T2.
These fights are still awesome though, I’m kinda looking forward to SoS being replaced by a guild that could do better in this tier. It feels very 1v1 between FA and Kain at the moment.
This Tier would be so much more fun if SoS could bring more bodies to the war. FA can field some serious man power during NA. Fun challenge but tough to try and be everywhere at once like last night in SoS BL.
Both Kain and FA have some quality guilds that would hold their own in Tier 1. WM as always (much respect!) and RET (I think is the name) seem to always bring it. Hopefully both servers will taste Tier 1 soon. SoR is still pretty strong so it will be tough to wrestle that 3rd spot away from them.

I think FA will ride the tier 2 roller coaster for a while until we get stronger in our weak time zones. Once TC rejoins tier 2 I could see us taking more 3rd place finishes. Last time we faced TC we couldn’t beat them.

I disagree. Even back when we first hit T2, I think we were better than TC. We were leading them by 10k points up until a day in the mid-week when the queue in our own BL bugged out. We had 10 people defending with an hour long queue.
We lost everything. Dropped 20k pts and couldn’t make up the ground before reset.

But you still lost, right. In fact, I think your record against TC is 0-8. I’m rooting for you guys to get your first win against us when we get back to T2. You deserve it.
TC only has coverage. Much like Tier 1 servers. Which isn’t anything bad, it’s just a reality of what it takes to be in Tier 1. Numbers + enough time zone coverage.
Otherwise, there hasn’t been a moment vs TC where BT hasn’t roflstomped through their forces. They are full of delicious bags, so tender, so sweet. Their tears on the forums are like nectar, almost as good as Maguuma’s. A hint of roleplay instead of trolling. Distinct. Delicious. Coupled with some dolyak meat, quite tantilizing a meal.
I know you’re new to T2, but we’ve had the privilege of fighting a lot of top guilds from SoR, BG, KN, and SBI during our many weeks in the tier. I wouldn’t rank Black Talons in the top 10. I do love your writing style, though.
lol TC. Their solution was always “well we can just throw more bodies at them”. That worked a lot in the past because they had so many more people than us it’d eventually wear us down over the week. It didn’t work a couple of weeks ago and it probably won’t again, but they are a lot of fun for practice. Here’s a video some of FA might have seen, but it’s a good example of why FA loves to fight TC.
I think they had us around 3 or 4 to 1 this time. We were trying some new strats so we were pretty sloppy… but it’s TC.

You guys almost absorbed a server and gained oceanic coverage and are arguing that we had better coverage than you guys a couple weeks ago? You can ask Kaineng players who they think has better coverage and you will realize that you guys lost to us three weeks ago even when you had BETTER coverage.
Ah TC why don’t you head on back to your own thread now. I am sure that there will be plenty of time to have forum wars with us when you make your way back up to T2. WE get it, you don’t like us, we don’t like you, now move along now little RP’ers.
I am anxiously awaiting the return of the TC loudmouth forum warriors back to a tier with FA. I am downright giddy for it. I really can’t wait to feed them a really big serving of eat kitten and die. If I could pay Kaineng to just sit back and let us fight, I would.
There will be no stupid celebrity updates. There will be no ridiculous role playing. There will be no dolyak parades. There will just be death and destruction, all day and all night. Kaineng, you have been and continue to be respectful and good opponents. We have some unfinished business with Tarnished Coast next week that must be attended to.

That’s weird that TC is stuck in T3. Did you know they’ve been in T2 and fought against guilds on BG, SBI, and SoR among others? If GW2 permitted skill by association then we’d all be in trouble.

I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree.
Seeing as how I’d rank TC as a Tier 1 server in population and a Tier 8 server in skill, with zero guilds of note to mention. As for absorption, we are like Bounty sheets. We obviously clean up better the the zerg. So many round little poops with badges and goodies inside, hell, I’ve even gone so far to say that TC loot is better than other servers. I’ve enjoyed a few rares from harvesting TC souls.
Anyways, I’m eager for next week. Kaineng should just take it off. I’m with Thoryn on this, we’ll be busy fighting each other, get some popcorn and enjoy the show.
A T1 server in population? you must be delusional. And if TC is T8 in skill then that speaks volumes about FA.

Its funny how all the trash talkers in FA get a license to do that on the back of the IoJ oceanic crew. Everyone knows FA is being carried up the tiers by the IoJ guilds and their oceanic performances, yet they seem to be respectful on the forums but the old FA guilds continue to tarnish the servers name.
And yet you’re the ones sticking your noses into another tier’s thread and talking smack. Funny indeed.

I’m actually looking forward to seeing our Kaineng friends again. Nice people. Class acts.
I too am looking forward to playing against Kaineng again, hopefully the servers that make up T2 at that time will not bring the kind of drama typically found in other tiers into the match up.

Yeah i suppose what TC is doing in this thread isn’t justified, because other servers and certainly not FA have never but in on other match up threads…

Are the TC and Mag forum warriors going at it in their thread? That may be entertaining, but I don’t feel like perusing…20ish pages now…
Anyhow, I kind of feel bad for DB, Mag, and Yaks when SoS moves down to t3. I have a feeling they’re hoping/expecting that SoS will not steam roll them like FA and TC had a tendency to, but I think they’ll be mistaken. SoS may have fewer numbers, but not by too much. And they’re very well organized and effective, especially if Tsym is thrown into the mix.

So….you’re telling me everyone knows you need significant pop presence in more than 1 coverage zone to move beyond T3. Thanks for clearing that up.
By the way, from reading your T3 thread it looks like Maguuma and DB are incredibly impressed by your server’s “skill”. I guess TC shines when no one else is around to see.
Alright, I’m done with TC for now. Thanks for getting me all hyped up about seeing you guys again if you get out of T3. I’m conflicted because I like fighting SoS more since they have some good guilds, but their population may not be there for the sustained fight in T2. However, TC is just so fun and easy to kill and obviously has the population. Time will tell.

They are always confident, they were confident about beating BG and being first in T2 last time they went there as well. Its called delusion; a common trait displayed by most of the FA NA leadership.
SOS will be a powerful opponent for tier 3. Mag and DB will certainly have their hands full if SOS drops down on Friday next week.
When TC moves back to tier 2 (this will happen 100% guaranteed) it will be a blockbuster event. I still predict a third place finish next to TC and Kain but perhaps it will be proven otherwise.
Its good to see everybody so pumped up for a reunion of these battle hungry servers!

Just so you know Kain and TC had a very friendly rivalry going on, while your rivalry seems much more bitter. Trust me you do not want Kain and TC 2v1 you guys all day. Play nice.
Kain, our hate for TC has nothing to do with you, you guys seem alright, but that won’t stop us from disliking TC, and as you may be able to tell from this thread, the feeling is mutual.
Had to log on after a long morning fighting FA in KBL and to place an update. The WvW’ers of FA really bring it! I love fighting you guys, there is no quit anywhere to be found, you are worthy opponents and i hope we will have another week with you guys!
You should bring your entire server. You’ll need it.
O yea, with coverage and all that. Don’t forget about your oceanics and your transfers btw. I’m pretty sure they’d want some credit for beating us. :p They were pretty awesome the last time our servers fought each other.

Thank you for the score update! I wasn’t able to play at all last night, so logged in here on lunch to get a bit of my WvW fix. I realize the scoreboard doesn’t tell the entire story, but one thing is clear as glass. Our Asiatic/Oceanic crew are the Bomb! Thank you guys and gals for doing what you do so well
And as always, props to our great NA folks for staying the course. I can’t wait to jump into the battle again tonight. I’ll bring the cookies. ~~ Mmmmmm coookies~
I’m hard wired to kill yaks, it was an inevitable event. Just because TC is in to cross species dressing, doesn’t mean I hate them. I just wish they would do it behind closed doors.

I remember the first time seeing the BT zerg in TC borderlands. You guys absolutely destroyed our pugs over and over again. It was pretty cool.
But then ofcourse KH started their raid night, came out of the garrison, absolutely stomped your entire BT zerg and every single one of you magically dissapeared from the borderland leaving us to PVdoor for the rest of the night. It was pretty dissapointing.
I can’t wait to see you guys again hopefully in T2 – it would be nice to see you actually stay and fight.
And if you don’t want any TC to take part in your thread, then maybe you should guys should stay out of our thread. But ofcourse that’s not how it works around here, everyone is just looking for their opportunity to troll after all.
I don’t remember that happening. We don’t mind losing if we learn new things. Honestly wish wigs didn’t say anything though. I would rather just have the fighting do the talking instead of kitten chest thumping.
We will keep coming out. Let’s try and get this thread back on track
