dont worry itll be nothing like SF.

Woah…i predicted the future post….

TheRatofFilth.3528:

If you believe someone on a level 24 that is going to claim to take out level 80’s with out a problem and then be a white knight and rally to their defense then i feel for you man…the person only said that their toon was a “CHICK” so you are probably just trying to be a hero and come to the aid of another guy here. But that is not important – I really don’t believe there is a level 24 toon out there that can kill 80’s on Et or FC.

I am discovered!

Although its kinda late, welcome to tier 8 you good fellows of Gates of Madness/Team Aliens!

Glad to have you on board sir, you will definitely fit right in with us.

Fair the well in tier 7 big brother Sheen!

And without further delay, your tier 8 celebrity score update!

Good stuff Detharos keep it coming lol

I can see when you get up there in levels, but level 24 is quite underpowered…I can murder people on my higher level toons but the lower ones I just hope to do enough damage for kill credit.

I quite amazed how 1 little post can turn into a flame war. Earlier you said that you should read all the posts before posting, i believe you should take your own advise. I only stated that i was killing ET and FC 80s, which to some degree i am, because some FC decided to try and gloat that he was killing our green arrows. From what i can see the poster runs in an organized five man so killing a group of green arrows isnt much of accomplishment.

You’d be surprised how powerful a low level toon can be. If you get full masterwork gear/rare at higher levels and then get the runes and sigls you get some nice stats going. At one point i had 1700 condition damage, 2500 armor and 22k hp.

Thanks for the update Pita.

Level 24’s cannot defeat level 80’s regardless. I was trying to dispute HIS bragging because of how easily just myself could defeat him.

I’ve leveled three alts from the mid 30’s to 80 mainly in WvW. Can’t speak about lower levels since those were my lowbies when I started playing WvW. All of them seemed quite effective and defeated plenty of lvl80’s along the way. You have to remember that Arenanet balances things so that new players can have a good time in WvW.

I would much rather run with an experienced WvWer on a low level alt than a lvl80 PvEer in full ascended/exotics trying WvW for the first time. Still don’t believe us? Roll an alt and give it a try.

@Munitias : Will you finally marry me now?

I wouldnt want to come in between of you and Nin =/ I’ve seen the way you look at each other.

most fun I ever had was running a level 16 S/P thief in a small zerg…
Pre-whip-nerf… good times!
between infiltrators strike, tac strike and scorp wire, there was not much the opponents could do. I pin them down, the zerg delivers the damage.

Score update, GoM are getting back on our feet. Some more players returning to wuv wuv, still waiting on a few guilds though.

Jeknar.6184:

Well, I’m not really getting why Gilkin is leaving… By the way he’s talking, it’s like ET turned unto the new SF… I didn’t see the 70man zerg he mentioned, unless he’s talking about Agg and FoE offensives (which I tend to avoid for personal reasons)…

But if the game will be more fun for him at FC, I can just wish him good luck because I have nothing against him, except that since his name will become “Ferguson Crossing Invader” he’ll be attacked on sight.

We must not be fighting at the same times because from 6pm eastern to 11pm eastern we now generally have a queue non stop in EB, are taking over stuff in the other BLs and normally have our own capped. Last night we were running 70 people into 30 -35 and people were laughing about it. The same thing we railed SF about, we are now doing.

70 v 30 is wonderful to win and take stuff over, but that isn’t what I like, I don’t enjoy it. To me it is a boring snooze fest. Now things might equal out at other times, but I don’t get to play at those times except on rare occasion for a very limited amount of in game time.

As I said I’ll wait a week to see if it evens out (or if I was even welcome), but I want to lead when things are looking bad (which is the only time I really ever lead), not just when things look good and anyone can lead to victory. Different strokes for different folks.

Stay away from EB bud. No matter what server, EB is always a zergfest.
From what ive gathered theres always at least 1 borderland, usually 2, which is outmanned and no blue on it.

Yes…I’ve seen the massive ET zergs. They’re fairly intimidating until they start running at the first sign of trouble – which is a complete turn around from HoD and NSP who would fight to the last man. shrug Different play style I guess.

There was a HUGE zerg in the GoM BL last night that would rip into a target, take it over and then move on like a swarm of locusts – allowing us to recap their former target fairly quickly. When we’d finally cornered the nasty thing in Sunny, we spanked them all soundly before sending them back to their spawn point to think about what they’d done – sometimes the best way to deal with petulant children.

The big, blob of enemy names is fairly impressive to see from a distance…but there’s not much substance there. HoD does it right in that regard. THEY know how to zerg. Take some lessons.

I’m on ET and that’s the reason why I generally like to roam with a few friends or meet up with another small group when I’m alone. Whenever I’m in the zerg, I always end up dying because I’m there alone -.-

Since your post applies to everyone in one shape or form, I’ve fixed it to be the generic whining post it should be in order to apply everywhere it should. Your server is not exempt either, ofc.

After wandering the WvW wasteland in ET for several months I find the increased activity refreshing. Primetime has turned a bit zergy in EB when you look at it from a historical perspective. Lots of people are coming back out to test the waters post-SF swath of destruction and transfer influx. However this surely isn’t T1 zergfest. GoM and Fergs BL were still ripe for the small group picking last night from my short jaunts over there to check on things. And the role of the small group is far more important now than even before to keep putting pressure on all points. Especially when our opponents get zergy. Additonally ET primetime is always strong during the weekends. I am awaiting or weekday fall off in participation.

Also we had some awesome action during the day on Saturday/Sunday. Defeating 3 breakouts back to back to back in ET homelands, putting serious offensive pressure on GoM’s side of EB while the main zerg hit SM was also awesome going from tower to tower to tower defending and wiping GoM. We must have put an end to at 20 tower/keep offensives easily yesterday. Hey we can actually defend and upgrade now! Holy moly! Sieging up and camping my beloved Ferg Godsword….ohhhh how many fond memories I have of us trying to take that so that ET could go from +0 to +5 PPT.

By far the most fun I have ever had commanding was yesterday. I may have had 25 people max at one point yesterday and we got tons of business done offensively and defensively and had a great time doing it.

FC has the best pug zergs and that’s a fact.

Score update pweaseeee

I am very happy for ET and FC. This looks like a great match-up. Have fun playing again, you guys, lord knows it’s past time.

I’ve followed you many a time Gilkin and you are a very good commander.
That being said, when these zerg fests are happening, how many commanders are tagged? Is it just one or two that the masses are flocking to because of lack of choice?
I know I join zerg fests when I am leveling a lowbie up, but tend to use my 80 when defending our BL or am with a medium sized group with a sepcific goal in mind.
Also keep in mind, if you are in ET BL, and see zergs, we are reclaiming our territory and will do what it takes :-) Zergs tend to discourage invaders.
Now in other BLs I like to see smaller groups split up and tactically taking enemy territory.
EB…well, thats just a big dang ball of zerg all around trying to spread the enemy thin enough to end up focusing on SM :-)

Definitely don’t want to see you go though. I think you just have to get cozy with a select group of people on at your time frame and lead them into the strategic strikes that you like. If your tag draws a crowd. Give your group a WP, Detag and alter your course until you need to Tag up to keep your group together again.

score update, would be greatful if every two hours someone could update the score, im off to work.

Good job ET and FC (and GoM I guess) :P

We are proud of you guys, keep up the good fight!

It is very strange being the Red team though, I keep running at the red icons on the map to attack…and then realize, ooooooops.

Where else would we level up? PvE? Think about what you’re saying man.

Entropy.4732:

Dear GoM,

I know we had our spats at times. I know we fought bitterly towards the end there, but we really, REALLY miss you and we’ve been thinking we made a terrible mistake leaving you for SF. At first, Sorrows Furnace seemed like it was everything you weren’t. On our first few dates, SF was super easy to get along with. But after we started going steady, SF turned into a total nightmare to live with. It’s just not working out. SF is, like, totally wrong for us.

Look, we… we might have rushed into things. We regret breaking up with you, GoM. You should move back in with us in T7. SF just doesn’t get us. Last night at 4:00am they camped our spawn point for hours with a massive zerg while they simultaneously hit our keep so we never had a fair chance of defending it. I know we accused you of cheating on us with HoD, but you would never have camped our spawn point like that. Never. You always took our keep fair and square. SF is super insensitive to our needs. They mercilessly taunt us on the forums and mega zerg us constantly. It’s just not the same as it was with you, GoM. No more razor close matches, no more waking up on sundays and going shopping with you at the Skritt farmer’s market for shinies. Sigh. We want you back GoM. I know you’ve got a new tier now and you’re seeing somebody else but I think we should give this relationship another chance. Come back to us GoM. Fight your way out of this T8 mess so we can break up with SF and get back to some fun, sexy, romantic WvW. We miss you.

Love,
NSP

P.S. I found one of your old loot bags in Golanda and it still smells like you.

Get back in the kitchen and make us a sammich

Who’s that pink sylvari thief from [Yarr]? You seem like you want to duel, but every time we get a good fight going on, either my allies or yours keep showing up and spoiling the fun. I’ll be watching for you next time I’m out roaming and we can settle the score.

I’m the human P/P thief from [RH] that doesn’t use stealth.

His name is Silent Suicide
hope he doesn’t mind me sharing the name but he loves making friends with other servers

No worries. I’m not looking to talk trash or grief him. We just kept noticing him stalking our group for a good part of the day yesterday, and if he was looking for a fair fight, I’d be more than happy to give him one.

Yeah he’ll definitely duel you if you whisper him

Yeah thats me XD i wasn’t stalking you guys though, i’m just always roaming the South part of maps on BL, oh and if you want to duel just party me :p thanks for the intro Moobs, shout out to all the GoM who made Titans a fun fight XD

it would appear that SF and DH could be a match made in heaven. the scores seem similar to when DH was in t7 with us and hod. the underdog of t6 could be the one that decides the winner between SF and DH.. or SF and DH could be so busy killing each other that the underdog could just sit back and watch the points tally and maybe win..

either way if that match up happens then i have to say .. GO DH DO..

We sure have a lot of anger in this thread, (and genuine I think, unlike NSP forum trolling).

I sympathize with ET and FC and the horrible match up you guys had to live with for so long. I also understand why some of us on GoM are mad with “dev-ine” intervention (transfers to enemies + point manipulation) which knocked us down quite a few ranks.

HOWEVER

Lets not lose sight of what we have. T8 is a really competitive tier right now, and I’m loving every minute of it. We have the potential to make T8 the most fun tier in the game. So lets enjoy it, and get to know our new neighbors, instead of yelling at the neighbor kids to “get off our lawn.”

BTW just a shout out to the 2 GoM thieves partying up with me and 1v1 me on FC BL against my warrior! great fun, good fights, lets keep them up! (btw if u see this, its me Gepi the warrior =D)

Since i’m not inspired, I’ll just leave the score with Miyani and her deep glowing green eyes…

Seems like we have more openings again …

I’m not sure what gave you the idea that my guild runs in 70 man zergs. We normally field 20-25 guildies who are built to win. You won’t see [Agg] using a commander tag to rally people 90% of the time. We have more fun just running as a guild.

Great fights in GoM borderlands last night! Looking forward to seeing everyone on the field tonight.

:( No updates. I am stranded at work and cannot log in from here. We need a real time Tier tracker.

p.s. GO GoM!!!

Welcome to t8 GoM we will keep your place in T7 warm as we are winning right now… see what SF went through even with ET and FC’s capiblities we were still rolling by easily double their score… though being in T7 i must say both ET and FC are better servers than GoM or NSP they just have numbers of lemmings who die easily. We will miss you

~Sorrows furnace Tier 6 or Bust

Potential points doesn’t mean you’re winning, as HoD is still ahead in points… :P

don’t mean to seem rude but what scoreboard are you watching? Red is in first

lol, taken at 12:50am you’re really dam clever eh?

DOH! Thank you Daemonne. Looks like I need to feign sickness and get home early! We are losing ground (LOL like I would make that big of a difference!).

Thanks again!

Glad you guys are having fun down in T8 guys. But GoM I miss you. The small sided fights just aren’t the same…. mainly cause there are none unless its HoD and NSP. ET and FC I can truly say I am sorry you had to deal with these numbers the whole time.

Now to redirect my love message back to GoM. Since I love them and not you guys. No offense but GoMs got a donk on them. Show them our T7 ways <3 Don’t become a zerg fest for the love of god. Miss you babe.

Love,
HoD(forever yours)

P.S. NSP we will fight you for them.. I read that love message.

Lots of small groups running around FCc borderlands, making it hard to keep an eye on everything ]: and for the love of the sacred holy ram stop golem rushing our keeps, we can’t last minute save them all >.>
Now to the ET p/d thief with no guild, don’t know if you’ll ever read this but i believe our fights were the longest i’ve ever had in wvw, literally fighting someone all the way from gods and ending up past the sentry between bay and garrison was awesome, even though my game crashed before we could finish :/
Keep up the good fights everyone, and if you ever try to take our supply camps on our pretty red borderlands i’ll be the thief trying to stop you <3

Score update:

Looks like we are going to go back and forth with GOM since both have main zergs on at different times.

Indeed the fights are now really awesome! And now everyone is taking turns getting ahead in points, rather than struggling to beat FC in score.

ET still seems to be taking the middle of the day and afternoon more often though (PST).

The other servers are doing great though. I still haven’t seen any big accomplishments from GoM yet, but I’m not on all the time so of course I’ve probably missed a lot of great things they’ve done.

I wonder how WvW will progress over time~ Oh, and I have to brag a bit. But hey, it’s for the sake of science!

Well its a good few days after this match up began and i think we can all agree that the difference between T7 and T8 is 1. Now everyone shut up and enjoy the match up, im looking at you sororita.3465, get your kitten together.

My warrior is so pretty. Also, bring it on GoMFC….certainly feels like your one server sometimes, must be what it feels like to be at the top

I was on most of the weekend from Saturday morning to Sunday evening and I feel there were times we were outnumbered and times when we outnumbered. I think this has been the most even match I’ve experienced since Sept 2011, look at the score! There were many times when TAC & members from other guilds faced a 50+ man GOM zerg and lost towers/keeps. Other times when we faced overwhelming odds, defending against 2 back to back breakouts with Commander Angry Brotha. It depends on what time of the day you log on. I have not seen a 70 vs. 30 zerg most of the weekend.

I had a ton of fun this weekend and at the end of the day, that’s all that matters.
