Ok, so lets resume this up.
The fact that there are several SFR posters here, it doesnt have to be the general feelings of the server.
The ones who dont complain are fighting and are ingame, so the majority of us that does the actual combat you don’t see us around here because we spend the limited time we have to fight in the maps.
The fact that SFR are coming from 2 weeks of constant complains doesnt help since it seems people got used to complain instead of joining a map and actually improve our performance.
I dont like it, but this is an open forum and nobody cant stop a few whiners to whine and everyone knows how vocal a whiner can be.
The fact is that blacktide and particulary xaoc uses a couple of exploits, but we are used to be exploited and I think people should just cut it off after the first few reports.
The fact is that xaoc does morning capping with CTA’s that carries blacktide un-opossed until 6pm, so we are talking about almost 2h of effort-less objectives gain and 10h of effort-less defense that gives a huge point lead.
Not only that but by the time SFR gets presence on map, we are fighting upgraded keeps with lots of defense and stocked supply against full 3-orb zergs and lets not discount, Riverside too, they mainly focus on Eternal but is another force on map that blacktide doesnt deal with in the mornings, but we do at night.
No one can say that is easy to overcome, unless they havent played against it.
The fact is Blacktide is much stronger (in terms of numbers, coverage and organization) and the fact that those Gunnars Hold guilds that recently transfered were what xaoc needed to pull the server to T2, I believe without those new recruits and influx of organized guilds, Blacktide would still have an hard time against us, because they would bleed much more during prime-time, which isnt happening atm, we can get even in points tick, which is already a pretty huge win considering we fight the uphill battle as I said before, so no complains here.
We get the lead at 23 or 24 CET time because as is normal to blacktide to have full maps on 16 CET against our outmanned, is normal aswell for them to then go to sleep sooner and we fight against an outmanned blacktide at 23 CET.
What separates us apart is not that, but is, we dont have a guild that CTA’s at 6AM CET and Blacktide do, is the huge sell point of their (xaoc\chaos) server since the begining.
I don’t envy you on your T2 endeavors next week, its ok we fought the N1 EU server in Arborstone, but Desolation with RUIN as of now are a T1 server aswell and i’m pretty sure the result wont be much different then last week.
I’m happy we maintain our T3 position which wasnt set in stone coming sunday and surely we will meet in the future, if its sooner or later depends on you being capable of beating Far Shiverpeaks or not.
And hopefully we are fully recovered from our past weeks and can have a closer matchup.
