You already know [PiNK] likes taking Garrisons, but what you don’t know, is we really enjoy having our pictures taken.

Remember guys, with fraps you too can be the best player in guild wars two.

That is awesome. Carry on.

Lol Zoel I liked the upside down one. About half way in I thought you weren’t going to show any game footage, just text…

Here’s a video from Wed/Thurs after the patch:

I see my candy cane

And kudos to the opponents in this video who don’t border hop.

Good push tonight FA. You guys we’re really out in force.

Hopefully TC can rally. They were all out hunting eggs today.

That’s a really weird way of saying ‘ERPing in the Adventure Box’.

Help is here with a Score Update taken with siegerazer and his brother:

We had pretty much the same turnout as always, you guys just weren’t there.

What a crummy turnout Easter Sunday for TC. It’s like they had families and stuff.

It seemed like outnumbered buff on the outlying BL’s across the board, couldn’t eeek out but 8 or so guild mates and then there was the magic box, oh how I hate you magic box.

The magic box is a very interesting game. Really funny and reminds me of minecraft.

Once everybody gets it out of their system, things should return to normal. Is it too early to predict a FA second place this week? Practically tied atm.

Well get er up and runnin!

I happen to have been one of the people who got the family thing done early, WvWvW was very light and the rest of the place other than the line at the magic box, that looked like a Walmart on Black Thursday, was a pretty lonely place.

We’re just a bunch of godless heathens anyways.

We want fights.

Is “mega zerg balls” balls balls or balls ballista? TC whipped out like 20 of them in a line Sunday. It was shocking to see that many woody shafts aimed at us.

Yeah…you can join your own FA 100 man zerg ball rolling TCBL.

Looked like someone had kicked over a fire ant bed on Sunday.

Does that make Kaineng a good thing or a bad thing? I’m having trouble figuring that out, but they’ve been the green guys for a few weeks now, right.

Dude wtf have you been smoking??? Kaineng wasnt outnumbered 4 to 1, unless your the only person culling didnt go away for you all had endless waves of people you were throwing at the lords room…..

Stay delusional my friend…

oxide.8324:

Ok, maybe closer to 3 to 1. My point still stands.

It did start out with those odds when we broke through the south gate, but then we were pretty much stalemated until we got more people on. At the end when we managed to get into lords room I’d say the numbers were about even.

Credit where credit is due, don’t emulate the servers/guilds who loudly insist that they’re perpetually at a disadvantage to the skill-less zerging Kaineng when they’re losing, yet still somehow brag endlessly about lootbags.

There are definitely some mega zergs going around in at least half the borderlands on a nightly basis. There are also some great havoc squads that are active on all maps. All three servers utilize them fairly well.

In terms of skill lag, it feels like its hit or miss. Feels like it only happens during one or two rights a night and its when its 40+ vs 40+ or sometimes during a three way. Outside of that, when just moving a Ross the map I haven’t experienced any.

All three servers have community sites up. Would definitely suggest checking them out if you are looking to transfer. Regardless of the sometimes hostile tone of the forum posts between forum warriors here, any of the three tier 2 servers would make a great home for anyone.

and to be fair there are definitely some guilds that are on losing servers, but still earn lots of lootbags from Kaineng zergs.. just click a few of the PINK or BT videos to observe.

endless bragging might not be necessary, but i’m also not sure it’s happening either

nowadays, ikittenerg fight, i can’t even pick my lootbags…… can’t even respawn for few minutes…..

I don’t think its such a big deal that they had huge numbers on at all.The problem was we didn’t. It was one day, all is good.
Now if someone could call in a demolition crew to take care of the magic box machine or whatever then all would be normal.

Spent most of the time playing meta in fa bl last night, but ended up roaming with the guild at the end…. that TC zerg in tc garrison at like 10:30 est was a scary sight. I know we had RET and the militia in there as well, but had we not funneled you all into NE tower we would’ve been done for I think.

rchu.8945:

…T1 player here looking to transfer to a lower tier…

I don’t think these are the servers you are looking for (jedi wave). You don’t need to see our Tier identification, because none of us are TRYING to stay Tier 2 (jedi headscratch). Move along (jedi gesture).

Lets all just be friends? Friends who kill each other for loot bags and internet points?

oxide.8324:

Ok, maybe closer to 3 to 1. My point still stands.

Obligatory “SS or it didn’t happen.”

But in all seriousness, FA SEA time is the worst timezone for us (I would go so far to say our coverage for SEA is worse than TC as well). We concern ourselves primarily with holding onto Garrison and waiting for the WM zerg to transfer to a different borderland so we can recap hills/bay. On our list of priorities, Bay is at the very bottom because of how easy it is to take back, unlike hills (which is a nightmare) and garrison (which can demoralize the server if lost). Also, our SEA coverage consists of mostly militia and a few commanders, so organized groups like WM, Meow, RISE, etc., can largely sweep the map with their coordination over our own forces. Just a little perspective for you.

And yes, someone insulted Kain, but you can be better than that and not rise to the bait. You guys have been dominating this tier from the beginning of the KN-TC-FA match-ups, there is nothing you need to prove.

Some good fights as always with you guys. The 2v1 conspiracy will never die. For just cause, it will always be a 2v1. Prime example was we (FA) were inside hills and KN was inside hills as well. We used catapults to take down the inside wall and press the lords room. I’m pretty sure KN kept any TC reinforcements from getting in so they could come in behind us after both sides were short from fighting each other and take the keep. Which is what happened. No matter what in a 1v1v1 it’s going to be a 2v1. Just who’s on the receiving end at the moment. To the people from my server that keep crying about this please stop, and just enjoy the fights. Here’s to another fun week with loot bags for all, and hopefully one of you gets a precursor from the bag I drop.

Everyone 2v1s. I do it all the time except I try to be an equalizer in the equation especially when i’m solo…. it just makes it more fun to see those 3 beating up that 1 guy get stomped. Then again i’ve always been a fan of sketchy unspoken alliances that break quickly… it makes the game interesting when you don’t know if the guy you’re helping is about to stab you in the back.

When in doubt, assume you’re on the 1 side.

When you know, you’re on the 1 side.

Each of us is always the 1 side.

3 servers A,B and C have 4 possible fighting combinations. (Note: A,B and C servers can be interchanged as to not over complicate this illustration)

A & B fight, C sits back

A attacks B, B attacks C, C attacks A

A & B fight C

Nobody fights

At some point in this combination, 2 servers will be attacking 1 and that will result in the server being attacked by both to lose points. This will cease once the attacking servers overextend and are not able to hold all positions securely. What happens next is the server being “double teamed” coming back to reclaim land while the things stabilize between the 3 groups.

Its an ebb and flow that greatly depends on population coverage, and of course, morale.

Can we please put this to rest?

I have to said your going to get mega zergs in any server you go in, the only difference is the level of organization in those tiers. One guild split up and headed to tier 8 because these higher tiers were too zergy. They found out that tier 8 is just as zergy but worst overall, needless to say they are coming back.

Furiousbeard.7602:

Not yet, we need more sane FA to drown out the whines of a few of our allies. Looking forward to tonight though, hopefully we’ll see more TC out… you guys probably had an easter egg hunt in divinity’s reach amirite?

Once everybody gets it out of their system, things should return to normal. Is it too early to predict a FA second place this week? Practically tied atm.

Would love to see FA take a 2nd place this week.

But TC is a lot more consistent than we are. I also Envy TC’s EU coverage

I don’t really care what happens I ust don’t want us to get thrown back to T3 and zerg it

I would feel sorry for tier 3 if we went back there. I’m not trying to start drama but it would not be a fair fight and I say this based on our battles before moving up to tier 2.

Also if a tier 3 server moved up they would have an extremely tough time against TC and KN. I’m pretty proud that our teams are able to do as well as we do against them.

I don’t see you guys at any real risk of sinking to tier 3. There’s no other contenders out there pushing from below and you guys are still pretty much even with us depending on the week.
