And yes, we were ping ponging between maps last night trying to bolster our defenses and hold what we had. You know, doing that whole PPT thing that some of you guys are telling us to learn.

And practice makes perfect.

One day you’ll get there if you continue to work hard and don’t get discouraged because you aren’t seeing a return on your investment.

Or maybe we could just recruit our way to victory and then try and talk trash on the forums. Nah, that would be too easy.

You mean like the time we won T2 and took green without the new guilds coming over? (Note: We won T2 without superior coverage)

Yes, back when the tier was semi-balanced, congrats. Now that it isn’t anymore and winning is based on numbers, its funny how TCers pick now to come to the forums to chest thump. Just find it kinda sad.

I see mostly responses to backhanded sniping rather than outright chest thumping frankly.

Maybe if you’d stop with the now VERY old QQ about the usual crap EVERYONE is guilty off, then maybe we can have a civil thread without it always devolving into this pile of poop.

DING, DING, DING

We have a winnnaaaaaahh

You’re welcome. Moving on..

[HL] on FA have done a magnificent job sieging up Hills in KN BL. I actually want someone to come and take that keep, just so they can see how much it has been decked out. Pretty mindblowing stuff – I stopped counting after I saw 5 superior trebs and ~10-15 superior arrow carts on the inner perimeter..

I shed a tear….

Perhaps you should take a page out of Kaineng’s book then and stop the forum trolling. I’ve been on TC since release, and no server we’ve faced even comes close to you guys in that department. At least you’re consistent about it though.

Who do you have ticking all that siege? That’s a person who’s face I want to melt.. err, hand I want to shake!! Yes, yes, that’s it. Hand shaking.

Let’s not drop down to FA’s level. We’re dominating them so much now, they’re just bitter that we’re much better in terms of coverage and skill level.

Anyone else find this post ironic?

I don’t have anything to add…I just wanted this quoted so I can look back at it every time someone from BT says they only play for the fights.

But… if you have nothing to add, why not just re-read the post?

Seems rather odd and contradictory.

In other news, week 7 has been really fun so far

I’m excited to see how it finishes.

Because sometimes it is nice to bookmark posts by replying if they are something that you have found particularly interesting. It just makes it easier to find them.

Or sometimes people do it to add commentary, and the statement “I have nothing to add,” is really the poster saying +1.

Hope that makes sense.

Hills and Bay. It just doesn’t feel right if you don’t have both of them. Kinda like splitting up twins.

Well, according to the millenium website, Dragonbrand is going to jump straight to 2nd place in tier 2 and it’s Fort Aspenwood that’s going to lose so much rating that it’ll drop straight to tier 3. and this is all for the next match-up. lol. Dragonbrand has an amazing SEA coverage and they just gained an NA guild from Jade Quarry.

That’s fantastic…

Finally a third server that can pull their weight!

Because these totally aren’t back handed sniping or chest thumping….

Like crumbs on a cookie a tray, so pass the days planting chives…

Will the Tattered Crumpet finally have enough butter to fill all her nooks and crannies?

Will Kimono Nono’s singing put the boys on rock rock? Will they flock to her side? Will they show her what they’ve got?

Will the boys of beForkin Awshum ever convince the buttered Crumpets to meet them in the big meadow after dark?

For the answers to these and other ridiculous questions, Stay Tuned for more exciting episodes of…

Y U No Like Chives?!

This week of all weeks we’ve had so far really makes the difference and the tension must be getting to some of you guys.

I’m feeling pretty excited – who’s leaving T2 after this week? DB is surely coming up….
Will it be KN or FA??? A fresh match up will do wonders for all.

Pretty mindblowing stuff – I stopped counting after I saw 5 superior trebs and ~10-15 superior arrow carts on the inner perimeter..

As a part of the effort earlier today at Hills in KN BL, I want to extend a thank the people (and a special person) responsible for a large part of that effort (you know who you are), you are a great asset to FA’s prowess. Keep up the good work!

Could a Kaineng commander please message me? I have information that you may find useful regarding a mutual friend of ours.

shortcake.8659:

Such a shame too, this matchup was pretty good about a month ago until one of the servers decided they wanted a t1 amount of population.

First, the 3 CD guilds came two weeks ago. That was AFTER TC already took first place on it’s own.

Second, these guilds only field about 40 people. Granted, 40 people at off-time can do alot and it are a welcome 40 people, but it’s only that: 40 people.

Third, WM taking a break changed this tier much more than the 40 WWW players.

Forth, TC had a great reset day. We ticked at 300+ points consistently. That had nothing to do with the 40 new players, but mainly with DIS taking so much of FABL at reset. TC kept FA Garrison for hours during reset, that has nothing to do with SEA coverage.

Fifth and most importantly, this tier will not change because TC got some extra ranking points, this tier will change because DB is taking points in T3.

KN to Tier 3 won’t be bad at all. I’m getting tired of reading all the forum drama between TC and FA.

Question, does it really matter what Tier you are on? Are the world bonuses higher if you’re on a higher tier or does it only matter if you’re green, blue or red?

whatever….TC just go to T1 already…would love to have kittenain. I miss those guys.

ye kaineng doesn’t even have the people atm for this t2 matchup. t3 will prob. be better for now.

kittenain was supposed to be DragonBrand, lol.

Tier matters for fights. In T3 you will never get the intense fights you see in T2.

You guys have tons of arrow carts in there and warriors manning all of them. Good job, your garrison is basically untouchable.

Nice to see our stacking is improving though it still takes us too long to gather.

The zerg also developed a tail and there were a few chasers going off on their own.

You do realize that in order to have good fights you have to be in a tier where they are available. PPTing is a necessary task to be able to stay in a tier where good fights exist. Ergo some PPTing is done for the purpose of maintaining the prospects of good fights.

Additionally, this is my personal opinion/perspective, I can’t claim to speak for anyone else in my guild or server.

These matchup threads are very informative. So far I have learned that BT hides in structures on arrow carts, never does open field fighting (certainly never against pink, there must be more than one pink on tc), always runs with at LEAST 80 people (before counting people not in the guild), and consists almost entirely of guardians and elementalists, all of whom used to be thieves.

I would have never known these things if I didn’t visit the forums. Please keep the information flowing, I always like learning new things. Thanks in advance.

booo hooo everyone doesn’t play the way I want them to play boooo hooooo.

Good job fighting in FABL today. I enjoyed commanding against you for most of today despite apparently dying of bronchitis.

KN hopefully. Tired of FA’s constant lack of sportsmanship. Love busting your zergs over and over, but this forum crap between FA and TC has got to go.

TC totally hung in there when the going was tough, and they are finally having their day in the spotlight. Kudo’s to all of them. TC/DB/?? will be a good matchup, and I hope much naked yak running ensues in the future.

I’m a TCer and I agree with you about the forum crap, even from other TCers.

I normally read this thread at work during my lunch but last weeks didn’t get read much. And this weeks won’t either judging by how it’s starting to look. Guys, try to keep the thread clean from the junk. Good banter is great, bad banter is just ugh.

See ya on the battle field.

Are there any new TC guilds with good skills nowadays? Since all the old one are the same or worse after 7 weeks, I mean we are very very disappointed…

Oh sweet Talos. Still at the depression stage. Still waiting for internets to come back.
I miss targets spontaneously combusting from confusion! (??????? ???

Dear Moderators,

I feel for you, I really do.

-Nibbles

If it’s true… Then kain will miss you WM :<

Just going to throw this out there.

Thanks everyone for showing up and making the game fun for all involved, some forum personas grate on others, ALL are guilty myself included.

But personas arent people, have fun all.

Cya on the BLs.

What fun this thread is!

TC actually saying that they won this Tier for their “skills” and not their “numbers” is like saying USA got Japan out of WWII for their better tactics and not because they dropped nuclear bombs on 2 Japanese cities.

TC is a HUGE ZERGBALL that used to blame their losses on the culling, now that that is out of the way they say that when they lose is cuz of the enemy having higher numbers.

Once you guys hit T1, what excuse will you come up with to justify you showing up on your enemies’ screen as loot bags instead of actual competiton?

Keep lying to yourselves TC-ers, you are up for a VERY rude awakening.

I have to be honest. FA has had some very bad tactics in some of the skirmishes that I’ve seen as of late.

That’s because you tend to run away before the battle even begins.

Not too hard considering we have so many towers and keeps to run into in FABL no?

Wonder how we got those……

Must be some unicorn magic, and those cookie bribes we gave the guards..

The fear on my end is that once a world goes to T3 after spending so much time in T2 they may start to lose ppl both to transfers and just simply giving up on larges scale wvw fights.

Eh, I am not getting in a flame war with you. I am just saying that I’ve seen some horrible tactics in basic stuff like siege placement, getting flanked, getting portal bombed, keep/tower defense.

The only thing I can really say that FA has done well in the last two weeks is Garrison defense. You guys defend the hell out of your garrison.

It’s easy to defend towers and keeps when you outnumber the enemy 2+ to 1.

But who’s counting? FA’s about the fights, not the PPT.

OH, and I’ll take a box of cookies to support you girl scouts.

Why thank you.

So i guess the towers magically flipped themselves then.

Cookie bribes ftw!

Looks like lots of chest thumpers appeared on TC’s side. Lets stop the chest thumping please. Lets not become like some other servers. The forums is where they can get some pride back. Leave them be.

^ Yep, just let em have this. TC is doing well. Thats all that matters. :p

In case people don’t know WM disbanded and what is left is going to EU.

Fun fights on FABL tonight. Spent so much time running from Bay to the north towers and back again that my toon lost a bunch of weight. xD

Oi! This thread is filled with vitriol and acid on both TC and FA sides. Honestly starting to feel really bad for KN at this point listening to us all bicker and whine. I rarely see them with anything more than a good game.

What’s happened to us over the last month and a half? TC, come on. We’re better than this. FA as well. We both started this matchup with at least a modicrum of respect for each other. Now it’s kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten RRRRAAWWWWWRRRR. I for one am tired of the hate spewing forth, the thread locks (one last week for certain and this weeks is heading there rapidly at this pace) because we can’t contain an unnecessary hatred of one another. I can’t be the only one tired of this sewage. This is the last score I put up for a bit, it’s not fun coming here anymore. Cheers to all sides. Good game all, and see you on the battlefield.

SMHFTFY.

+1 for effort you guys are the best server in combat ha ha ha

You know it babe. <3

Yes i knew it was an off week like every other one

• They’re also always outmanned
• Always being 2v1
• Always the one with least coverage
• Never recruits
• etc etc etc etc

It’s not easy being the underdog, but FA doesn’t go for easy.

KN will likely take up the underdog position these next few days/weeks though.
