I’m actually feeling kinda sad right now. First SE then GoF and now RE is thinking of leaving.. :\ can’t catch a break can we.

All I have to say is that even though these guilds have left, or a thinking of leaving, our smaller guilds are stepping up to the challenge. going to give a shout out to some guilds I have seen lately just so the darkhaven people that come to the forumes to read and not reply can see that we are not going down unless its in a blaze of glory.

TRA – seen you tonight in Borlis BL. Good job to you.

Soul – I haven’t played in awhile but you guys are always fast to respond and more then willing to jump down into a zerg to kill seige.

BRH – I know your commander Cliide. Good guy, good leader. Keep it up guys. we will need you.

VEX – seen few of you playing some good defense at supply camps. ^.^

And many more I have seen but can’t exactly remember. sorry for that.

These small guilds make a server. No one big guild can hold all borderlands together. It is you that we rely on and it is you that we turn to when we need that extra 30 supply or someone to add to a zerg. We will need all the small guilds to work together more then ever now seeing as were loosing more and more people.

I will personally be with darkhaven all the way down. Whether we stop our own fall and stand up or hit the bottom. We will eventually stand and we will eventually get stronger.

end motivational speach and commence wvw

good fights so far guys!!

Great post, this one and all the others from our guys at Darkhaven!
I really had awesome fights in this server, I’ll also stick with this till the end, it’s my home server since day 1 and I really consider it “my home”.
I, atleast for now, just play as a pug, but always team up with people to get camps, sentrys, zerging and defending the best way I can.
I just recenetly got around to do WvW (a month), but since then I play atleast two hours of it a day, sometimes more and I’ve already learned a lot.

Thanks for all the great commanders and each and everyone of you who play with us, let’s stick together in this hard time and get stronger again!

These are good things.

As we’ve said, Dragonbrand suffered similarly a while ago.

It’s not going to be a fun ride down the tiers, I can tell you that.
But once you get to the tier that is right for your server, people will start to WvW again and you’ll start to get a foothold back.

It’s just hard to convince people to participate when they’re demoralized.

You have no idea how many times (Well, you probably do now :P ) I went to map chat in LA a couple months ago to ask for people in WvW to only get “Why? What’s the point, we’re at +20 and 100,000 points behind. I’ll wvw when we’re winning”

It’s poor sportsmanship, but it’s unfortunately the reality of competition involving high numbers.

Thanks for that advance warning really came in handy. In no way did I just toss down a gold in siege to take defend a keep and siege a tower. No thats not possible because I got an advanced warning. [/sarcasm]

Really tired of wasting money Anet.

Yeah – that is so very irritating. I watched 3 siege just get completed and one in process when the boot from WvW happened. Irritation.

DKz Lux.4125:

@ Littlefeather

Celebrate the PUGs, celebrade small guilds. If RE is the only big one, help the smaller ones get bigger. Help train the new commanders. Make an alliance and invite them to join. Have weekly meetings to talk about strategy. Tell people often to join your public voice chat server. Have someone develop a community website and tell people to join. Do PVE events and then invite them to join you in wvw next. There are many thing you can do to make your server stronger without needing big guild transfers from other servers.

DKz has been in Borlis since beta. We used to be a PVE guild, like most other guilds we have in the server. It took us many weeks to learn about wvw and also educate those that play with us.

Right now DH’s biggest problem is not numbers, it is morale. If you are telling me you see new PUGs every day, then that’s great news. That’s a lot of people that can become wvw regulars in the future. PUGs are only PUGs for a while, eventually, they become WvW veterans.

Even Monkey Shine has improved.

Thats a really good post. Look for ways to actually succeed instead of wallowing in the loss.

I have personally been making suggestions along the same lines since day one on DH, along with actual methods and plans to carry it out. The time obviously wasnt right before, but perhaps it is now.

One thing especially, and that is encouraging new players to continue participating in WvW. As it stands, it can be an incredibly hostile environment if you dont know what you are doing. It would be better to encourage and educate rather than just insult and yell.

We will see what happens.

It’s weird how this thread has taken such a sharp turn. Seeing resentments and grudges form is just sad. It didn’t have to be this way. Most BPers are still thrilled with the level of commitment and sportsmanship shown by both of our opponents. I think the common consensus is that we will be fighting both of you for a while because this is were our current level of skill is. I also think that true judgement can’t be formed, since BP is now down to half-strength do to the holidays, and I can only assume the others servers are as well. It will be worse next week.

I still say that Darkhaven should concentrate on recruitment in the weeks following the holidays. A lot of folk are going to be getting the game as a gift, and you will have a fresh pool of new recruits. Your next best commander might not even own the game yet. The game is only a couple of months old and changes are coming. Don’t lose hope. If you slip down a tier, you will be back up quickly. Y’all are too good to stay down long.

Now, about spying… I won’t address the screened-capped chat box—as I know nothing about it, nor did I see it here before it was apparently pulled—however, I want to talk about spying in general. Is the paranoia worth it? I’ve seen the fear of spies in my own server and teamchat turn away new folk who were just starting to feel like they were part of the community. Spying suxs. Cheating sux. The dedicated players everywhere will already agree with this. But what is it a spy will do that will ruin everything? Tell everyone on the opposing team where we’re going? Well, the pugs that mass-attack the crossing guard and trigger the orange swords kind of already did that. Tell them we have four golems on the move? We’re so inept at herding golems I think they only need to look out their window to see them coming. I’m not saying that folks shouldn’t be circumspect in certain situations, but this mass fear of spying can suck the fun out of the game. The paranoia has got to go. Week after week itamazes me how fast someone will jump to the conclusion that our two opponents are working together because on a Friday after reset, we were fighting both teams at once in Stonemist. Um, isn’t grabbing SM first the point? Why wouldn’t we be fighting both of them at the same time? There’s no conspiracy. Sure, opponents can resent each other (the seeds start here) but that doesn’t mean they’re calling up the other guy and planning their coordinated takedown. It’s an easy conclusion to jump to, but 99% of the time, it’s a false conclusion.

I would much rather deal with having been hurt by a spy after the fact, then spend my time being proactive against spying to the point that the game is no longer fun, friendly, or inclusive of new folk who want to feel like they are part of the team. Why? Because this is supposed to be fun.

That’s my two-cents, and if this post gets pulled, and I get infracted again, I give up.

It’s so very hard to introduce new people too. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve typed out the basics. New players generally don’t want to go to the forums or get on voice to learn the basics of WvW. I wish there was a way to save a macro of the basics and then just whisper and hit a key.

Had this happen quite a bit lately. Seems pve fixes trump all.

And in that vain, nice job to BP trying to take our (DB) BL Bay keep this morning. If I hadn’t looked in the very corner I never would have seen the 3 catas you had on the wall. Now, I might not have been the only one on DB to notice, but I love how 1 person (no matter their level) can make a huge difference in WvW. Standing guard, working siege, running supply, so much for anyone of any level or ability to do. Best part of GW2 for me.

I only trimmed the quote down so it wasn’t big textwall, I’m gonna kinda address everything.

In my experiences on Dragonbrand, we are not a server that has ever been particularly paranoid about spies.
As I said, it wasn’t an accusation I ever even saw made until a screenshot of our teamchat was posted.

I think many of the dedicated wvw players understand that spies are a reality whether we like them or not, but nobody likes it when someone up and posts a screenshot of it,
Either way, we don’t go on witchhunts for spies or anything, and we didn’t after that post last night either. I didn’t even see it brought up in team chat, I had whispered a few people (Like Edgar, thought he should know) about it to give them a heads up, but it got more attention in this thread than it got in our server.

I’m not thrilled about the shift in attitude either, I was looking forward to a clean week of fighting.
But if I recall, the first week or two of our fights with DH had some grudges too.

Overall we’re a pretty humble and sportsmanlike server.

It is, but I just remember the first time I played. I was completely lost. I think a good way to minimize the effects of this is to have our commanders type out what to do/where to go/what to build (as they do now, just more consistently to the rest of the team), but then also type out why they are doing it. The initial time investment would increase, obviously, but the return on it in the long run would be substantial. I am sure there are other ways too, thats just the first one that springs to mind.

edit: i.e. “Run past this sentry so we dont alert our presence.” “Build rams here so they are less vulnerable to catapults.” “Lets take this supply camp first so we can cut off their supply, earn PPT, and fill up our supply for siege on the tower.”

I would like to personally apologize on behalf of the entire Dragonbrand server that we do not answer questions in the exact same manner that a Commander from borlis pass would do so.

We will try our hardest in the future to emulate your server community in every way possible within our means as humans on this planet.

/sarcasm

To be genuine for a moment though,
Why don’t you stop spying on our server’s team chat?

It’s starting to get disgraceful that you’d come spy on us, intentionally take something out of context, then come post it on the forums publicly to call us out on something that we actually didn’t even do in the first place.
Are you that arrogant?

Is that how /you/ want to represent the “culture that you created in your server”? Because it’s certainly souring my opinion on you guys.

It’s like you’re digging a hole, and won’t stop. Your responses have convinced me that there’s some exploiting going on. Which Reminds me of a few days ago of DH chat saying: "How did they get in here!?! "

Maybe Anet should do some investigation and put this matter to rest. Because as it stands, I’m not confident that we’re in the middle of a legit match-up.

It’s like you’re so convinced that nobody plays fairly but you that you’ve forgotten how to focus on anything else..

I would encourage Anet to do all the investigation they’re capable of, because it wouldn’t effect me, anyone I know, or our wvw force or effectiveness at all.

And if it gets the handful of exploiters (That every server has) off of Dragonbrand, then maybe it’ll sooth your paranoia.

Totally agree with this statement and after this, BP would still be the server planting spy’s in our server to watch our map chat.

If BP is trying to take the high road i’m not seeing it.

Some things make me laugh. Like when someone mentions my paranoia and then goes on to be paranoid about ‘spys’.

BTW, I’m not paranoid, I’m a realist. I’ve seen enough botting, speed hacks, wall hacks, flying, etc to know it happens, more than we care to admit… but then to openly talk about it in chat, and then be mad at spies?? come on…

We are not being paranoid. You posted a screenshot. How many lvl 2’s that sit at the waypoint for a long period of time and still have the help tips show up on how to fight do you know? Its actually sad that BP needs that to win but hey whatever makes you guys feel better. I know DB does not use anything like that. We don’t need to and don’t want to because then we would have to rely on it if we move to the higher tiers.

Oh wow the lead is down to 3k per millenium. What an amazing week so far. Can’t wait to get back home and get in the fight.

this will be a close one, it’ll come down to the wire

It’s very similar with the 1st round DH vs DB vs NS, at last DH won by a very little bargain. Now DH becomes NS and BP becomes a enchanted version of DH, DB still remains the same.

DB has always been like this. Check out the income evolution chart:
http://mos.millenium.org/servers/view/39/6

As an FA player, it was really funny waking up to DB owning the map and taking over Mag who had been 2nd place most of the match. They weren’t able to pull it off the next week though with DH in the tier instead of FA. http://mos.millenium.org/servers/view/46/7

In fact DB already becomes the goal keeper of this tier. If any server wanna climb upper, you have to deal with the non-NA time coverage of DB. In other words, only NA prime domination can not make u go to upper tier since all T4 servers has somewhat non NA coverage not worse than DB but with much better NA coverage.
I guess BP, DB and DH will stay in this tier for a pretty while until 1 server of these 3 totally give up.

Wow this is kinda kittened-up! Their friday night is our thursday night, so they could stay up and own the map all day and make up mad points. Perhaps the holidays will even the field a bit, OR have NA play NA and Oceanic play Oceanic, so there is at least some parity.

We were, uhhh, “disenfranchised” that match. i.e. we were the north american punchbags. Then DB swept in after we got KO’ed, rifled through our pockets for anything that looked like it gave PPT and made out like ninja bandits.

But Mags is used to getting punched in the face. You need to use guns now if you want to take us down.

I would honestly rather the whole spies vs. exploits conversation die.
It’s not showing a good side to either server, and I’ve said everything I have to say, and am sure BP has done similarly, on the subject. Rehashing the same posts over and over again will get us no where.

And clearly we’ve reached a stalemate where nobody is going to believe anything that the opposing server says anyway.

With that said, onto a new topic:
the score right now is really exciting.
Dragonbrand tends to do worst on the weekends and then get stronger as the week progresses, as I’m sure you’ve noticed and I’m sure Darkhaven can attest to.

I do not very often see us in the lead for ticks at this time of day, this is a good week for wvw. (Not to say we’re stomping, as I’m writing this we’re +295 with BP at +285, and we’ve been trading first place back and forth for a little while now)

I like this week, it’s got suspense

LOL! Yeah, Mag is a pretty tough server even when outnumbered.

Its funny how dragonbrand tries to use exploits, and they do, and they deflect it with “spies”. Yesterday, i saw 5 dragonbrand peeps ranged attacking the tower commander on redbriar. Note: They have no peeps inside the tower.

So anyways, they kill the commander and his guards, without using any siege, there have no ppl inside the tower since im right next to them, and BAM, the tower flipped from blue to Dragonbrands.

I asked in map chat “How did you guys claim that tower without using any siege or ppl to even step on the green circle”. They said “We have a mesmer inside”. Well if they had a mesmer inside wouldnt it make sense to portal that 6 man team inside the tower instead of them shooting the commander thru the wall?

No, this is not a troll post, i’m sorry i wasnt smart enough to take a youtube video of it, but it happened in front of me, and im sorry, in behalf of dragonbrand, for just watching it happen.

If you are so convinced that we are a bunch of exploiters go ahead and report us. Let the investigation happen, I welcome it.

You know lots of trolling on all sides here but I’m gonna say I’m having a blast this week. As far as I can say about my server we are very paranoid about exploiters. If you ever have to fight Anvil Rock you will understand why. As far as the trolls go ignore them we haven’t had this much fun in a month honestly mostly due to the fights against DB and DH. kitten Wintersday best wvw week ever.

Agreed. Report these so called exploiters. Stop sitting in the forums accusing DB. Do something about it. DH has been with us for how many weeks and complained how many times about DB exploiting? Pretty much my conclusion is that you were burned bad by some other server by exploits so automatically assume everyone exploits. Well, guess what … We don’t. I enjoy taking back my lands with a team of four in a honest way. Or are you just trying to give our server a bad name???

Really good post man. It bums me out to hear that you guys are loosing players but attitudes like this will keep you guys strong while you rebuild your wvw population. Stick together, support each other, and stay positive. Things will turn around. What doesn’t break you will only make you stronger.

I am also posting this in here to see if I can encourage a last push from Dragonbrand before reset tomorrow. We would much rather have you here next week then Ehmry Bay.

As a result of the two Keeps that were taken using exploits on Yaks Bend Borderlands we are going to focus Ehmry Bay. I have made this agreement with a majority of the Commanders on Yaks Bend, this will be until server reset.

Given the current scores and calculating in SPT (score per tick) Ehmry Bay will only be 10 points above Dragonbrand in ranking upon reset. I’d like to see Ehmry Bay dropped this week into Div. 5.

Factors that affect this:
Ehmry Bay’s SPT
Dragonbrand’s SPT

As we have no influence over Dragonbrand’s SPT, we will focus on keeping Ehmry Bay’s SPT as low as possible over the next 24 hour period.

I’m not a advocating a double team. This is what we are doing and that is why, do what you want with this information.

I am not picking favorites between the 3 teams in your Div. Dragonbrand simply is the closest to Ehmry Bay’s rank.

I am voting for dragonbrand in this because I am ready for a new red team in tier 4.

Dragonbrand has been doing extremely well tonight.
I’m excited to see the score when I wake up in the morning.

Nice, seems like you guys have a good match up going for first.. Borlis Pass and Dragonbrand can’t wait to see you guys in t4 some week soon.

Oh no., now DB will be ganked by both DH n BP because they dun want to fight Ehmry Bay too

We fight to the best of our ability and we fight to win. There is no possibility that we purposely lose point for the sake of staying in the same tier.

Great fight today in EB. Haven’t got that much fun n badges in a long time.

I don’t see that as an insult. Bp is the “new comer” to our tier and shouldn’t feel insulted to be compare to the former leader or enchanted version of DH. DH has been great competition and great rivals in this tier for us in DB.

DB’s off peak crew is the biggest obstacle to BP right now. If anything, they should want EB to come down.

i just lead a group for a long merry chase

Ok, so congrats to the 2 guys who got inside the tower i was solo defending against a zerg of DB that was using the breakout event. You managed to get in without a gate or wall down.

I dont like calling people out like that but, really? I tried to get a screenshot but appearently my ‘pring screen’ didnt work. :\ so i have no proof other then words.. -.-

1 second i was defending a red tower, then lagged, then all of a suddon im being attacked by npcs. All within 10 seconds of when i started using the cata to defend teh tower. lol

score update please

Everything you stated sort of answers your own statements..
1. DB zerg vs Solo defender
2. You have a broken/slow/old computer that has parts of it which don’t function
3. You lagged out for long enough that the entire zerg poured in, killed the lord, and flipped ownership while you were still lagged.
4. The door for your non-upgraded tower was on the verge of being open before you arrived.
5. You died in a WvW zone, no need to call anyone exploiters.

As a result of the two Keeps that were taken using exploits on Yaks Bend Borderlands we are going to focus Ehmry Bay. I have made this agreement with a majority of the Commanders on Yaks Bend, this will be until server reset.

Given the current scores and calculating in SPT (score per tick) Ehmry Bay will only be 10 points above Dragonbrand in ranking upon reset. I’d like to see Ehmry Bay dropped this week into Div. 5.

Factors that affect this:
Ehmry Bay’s SPT
Dragonbrand’s SPT

As we have no influence over Dragonbrand’s SPT, we will focus on keeping Ehmry Bay’s SPT as low as possible over the next 24 hour period.

I’m not a advocating a double team. This is what we are doing and that is why, do what you want with this information.

I am not picking favorites between the 3 teams in your Div. Dragonbrand simply is the closest to Ehmry Bay’s rank.

I’m all for that. Might actually work in BP’s favor if that did happen. Besides, I do have a bone to pick with Ehmry Bay. EB / DH / BP match-up would be fun.

In fact, that’s what will most likely happen. Maybe not this week, but almost certainly the next. DB has a large Asian player base which will not be going home for Christmas like NA players. I myself will be away for a week. I might be wrong but next week might actually be a much easier week for DB. I do promise this evil deed will not go unpunished though. Once the holidays are over you can most certainly bet BP will get a lot stronger.

Ok, so congrats to the 2 guys who got inside the tower i was solo defending against a zerg of DB that was using the breakout event. You managed to get in without a gate or wall down.

I dont like calling people out like that but, really? I tried to get a screenshot but appearently my ‘pring screen’ didnt work. :\ so i have no proof other then words.. -.-

1 second i was defending a red tower, then lagged, then all of a suddon im being attacked by npcs. All within 10 seconds of when i started using the cata to defend teh tower. lol

Everything you stated sort of answers your own statements..
1. DB zerg vs Solo defender
2. You have a broken/slow/old computer that has parts of it which don’t function
3. You lagged out for long enough that the entire zerg poured in, killed the lord, and flipped ownership while you were still lagged.
4. The door for your non-upgraded tower was on the verge of being open before you arrived.
5. You died in a WvW zone, no need to call anyone exploiters.

If the zerg got in how was he still alive to be attacked by the NPC?

I can’t believe that Darkhaven would actually team up with Dragonbrand to knock us out of first place. DH was Trebbing our Keep while DB moved in with ground troops.

Don’t get me wrong, this week has been fun. Fighting China and Taiwan on their peak hours requires a lot of skill.

Earlier today on Dragonbrand boarders we were getting attacked by BP and DH. I found a group of them hiding out by hills and not attacking one another. They also coordinated to hit bay and hills at the same time, as well as help each out while they double teamed garrison. Specifically RE guild from DH. We eventually pushed them out but some dirty stuff is happening here at the end. Shame because it has been a fun week.

teaming up? with db?! dude they were just accusing us of the same thing w nsp last week I am sure that your imagining things.

Funny how the entire week we have been behind, we have not once thrown the “zomg they are double teaming us” excuse. BP salutes us for the close competition until they are legitimately close to loosing and they start saying things about holidays and double teaming.

where is the sportsmanship :/ I mean people are cool on db, but if you all think every server on the game has some bias or hidden motive to let us win-well whatever makes the loss easier to swallow

@ testpig

The entire zerg was still outside of the tower when it was flipped.

when I rean up to the tower the back wall under the bridge to the lords room was 100% and not being attacked. When i rounded the front the zerg showed up with seigerazor guy so i rolled inside. I got on the catapalt and started hitting the gate, 10 seconds later i lagged, wasn’t to long, maybe 3-4 seconds, zerg was still outside, tower was flipped, and when i turned around a guardian and mesmer started attacking me.

So I don’t know how they got in but they did.

Great job Dragonbrand on beating us for first place!
I didn’t think you could do it but you sure proved me wrong.

I am one of the commanders that fought in Eternal Battlegrounds for hours all week long and today was the hardest I ever fought and in the end you wiped us.

Very good job.

Ok here we go again. I for one can tell you that nobody that I have seen or run with on DH has double teamed with either DB or BP. Get over yourselves! As for hacks and exploits, good job to BP who tried to exploit DH’s east keep. lmao we’re in last place and you outnumber us severely but still have to cheat. Unfortunately the person committed suicide before I could screenshot. As for double teaming since RE is the only WvW guild that makes any difference according to them then maybe you should be looking at them instead of saying all of DH. Now can we stop the kitten bickering. If you have a problem with anything I said then maybe take a good look at the previous threads that all of you have posted and we have had to put up with!

This week has been extremely fun—not to mention frustrating and exciting. BP’s numbers are large, and they’re a very tough server. DH has always been strong, even with guilds transferring out. The match up is far from over, so I hope no one (from any server) jumps the gun. Let’s keep fighting hard—I know DB will. Once the Asian crew logs on, I hope they fight even harder than the NA crew so that DB can pull a little further away.

@ Evilzara, we’re not in the safe zone just yet. We’ve got some quite a ways to go. You guys sure are extremely tough, coordinated and overall just fun to battle with. Win or lose, we should all take the last hour of the week to do some battles in EB, 1v1 duels or 2v2. Just get some fun in before any server moves up/down. I’ll bring the drinks!

Fun day today in Eternal battle grounds! Bp had some good strategies in SE map. Taking your keep was probably the hardest thing to take all day. Dragonbrand finally got it though!
