Guild Wars 2

Hear, hear.

That’s the right attitude.

Nice try, but if you care about WvW, I would actually suggest u just transfer off like half the population have already done… and while it’s still free.

They announced that they are limiting free transfers to 24h but that still doesn’t help a server like Borlis that has a low population. If the next matchup is as bad as this past week, expect a ghost town.

No im with you, im on borlis pass and im sick of seeing green. (either Emery bay, or anvil rock) no matter what time i log on. It used to be we would at least have it in the mornings for a brief time. (7-8 am central time) now that everyone’s transferred to e bay, they have become a 24 hour zerg fest that we can do nothing about due to the OP of having 3 orbs.

So yeah, i feel your pain. WvW is no longer fun. I hate being camped at my gate and no matter what level of corrdination we just get orbzergrolled. shrugs

So…will we be seeing you back in Kaineng/Devona’s bracket? maybe an even match again!

Thats what im afraid of, in our past matchups Anvil Rock has crushed Borlis Pass and Ehmry Bay. I am afraid we are going to get matched with both of you tommorrow and if we win that badly again, there will be no WvWvW action for a week.

That will suck for me anyway because its what drew me into this game the most.

If your guys are hell bent on transferring because of WvWvW, I suggest you come to Anvil Rock or Darkhaven. Help boost medium population servers, not go to the best ones.

You will be sitting in 2 – 4 hour queues anyway in those servers.

What’s amusing is that some Borlis guilds moved to Ehmry I guess because they see us as a server with some fight in it, but some Ehmry moved to Devona’s Rest because Ehmry has queues during prime time now because so many people moved here.

Servers are simply in a constant state of flux with regards to players. Anvil Rock beat Ehmry Bay? No. I think what you mean to say is the guilds that were on Anvil Rock a couple weeks ago beat the guilds that were on Ehmry Bay a couple weeks ago. I bet both of these servers have seen so much player churn since then that there’s absolutely no telling what the balance is now. For all we know, the top Anvil Rock guild transferred to Crystal Desert and the best Oceanic guild from Hedge moved to Kaineng, etc.

Two weeks from the top 3 servers might be Kaineng, Yak’s Bend and Ehmry Bay.

You might as well just stay put because server transfers are nothing but a shot in the dark with so many people moving hither and yon. Server rankings are a joke precisely because server populations are constantly changing.

Oh, back on the topic of Borlis Pass…

Why u no build more siege?

We defend our towers with ballistas and arrow carts (at least if PURG is around). You finally uproot us and take the tower and when we attack it there’s usually nothing there except you guys standing on the walls. There might be one poorly placed arrow cart. You guys are obviously coordinating 100-supply trebuchets to bombard with from safe zones, so I don’t see why you aren’t coordinating more 30-supply arrow carts to defend the tower with once you take it.

I’m keenly interested in trying to attack a well defended tower because now that arrow carts don’t take retaliation damage, the equations have changed.

I haven’t been able to get any practice because I don’t think I’ve ever seen more than 1 enemy arrow cart in any location.

Maybe because its impossible to get some up before your zerg comes and rolls us? :p You always own our camps. Ive never seen one of our keeps this week owned longer that 30 mins before e bay had it again, we had an orb once on tues but fergs crossing decided it would be a good idea to attack us the same time you were and just give the orb up to you. :p

So yeah, and but even that only lasted 30 mins.

I’m in the top Anvil Rock guild…. [ANV] , anyway we just spent a week fighting Yaks who is leading us with 411,000 points last I checked, to our 80,000, Darkhaven has about 80,000 as well though they have a small lead. In the past we have always dominated Darkhaven but they spent this entire week attacking us any time we attacked Yaks, so they could come in second place.

You are probably right if you got that many transfers, if we fight you it will be a different fight for sure. But ANV has spent the week perfecting our strategies and we have become quite the hit squad, if you are against us next, look out

Free transfers are really bad for these servers like Borlis in the bottom half of the table when put in conjunction with 1 week games.

As for why we dont build siege, Ehmry’s numbers always guarantee at least one force that is taking the camps in numbers while the others are roaming. Folks dont want to waste money on siege since it probably won’t get built in time before the zerg rolls in and also because even if a keep or fort is upgraded and sieged up, the night population is so low EB caps everything before the next day’s main group gets on.

In short, it was a stupid matchup as over half the WvW matchups have proven to be (doubly stupid because free transfers were not brought down when they began).

I see a lot of bottom tier servers emptying out with free transfers this upcoming week. Another week of being camped outside of spawn is not fun, and its even worse if part of the reason is because folks are free transferring off.

It’s killing me that I won’t be able to play this weekend in the most critical time frame for the new wuvwuv matchup. You guys from Borlis gave us (I’m with MCG on Ebay) some fun fights, but I’ll be crossing my fingers for a more even matchup this next go around.

I knew it was a bad sign when people started complaining about players being invulnerable inside the Ferg Crossing Citadel in their borderlands. Spawn camping is no fun for anyone.
