Guild Wars 2

Straight from the Devs mouth!!!!

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Confirmation-from-new-WvW-Staff-on-T8/first#post1774382

FC fields one 30-60 man Zerg, on prime time reset might I expect one 60-70 man Zerg. Due to the matchup change I expect 20% increase in population overall. I expect at least 1 queue and probably 2.
We will likely field 2 zergs of over 40 people in EB and our BL, in addition to around 100 people spread out between 4 maps. These are all minimum estimations.

Rejoice T8!

@D W.5179

WOW I was soooo happy to read this thanks for brining this to my attention. I hope SF moves up today. I will miss the duels I had with you guys in SF but I’m sure you guys are jumping for joy as much as FC and ET. I wish you guys the best and show T7 what pain means!

GrandmaFunk.3052:

Anyone with more credibility have reasonable numbers to share?

This is going to be the reaction of NSP when SF moves up

This will also apply to GoM’s reaction when they move down.

Oh man, I am excited for ET and FC too! If your ranking are fixed and us moving up, you can get more PvE players to supplement your hard cores folks, and kick some kitten I will be watching our old frenemies once we move up.

We need to setup a going away party before reset today. Ill contact everyone I know on the other servers.

Outside Stonemist?

Sounds good to me.

That would be great, count me in!

GrandmaFunk.3052:

I’m on a fact finding mission:

T8 servers, what would you say your..

-average EB population during weeknight primetime?
-average overnight coverage?
-biggest zerg size you tend to see?

EB can be low to having a massive queue depending on whats going on during the weeknights.
Overnight coverage varies as well, though SF could definitely use a boost (as most NA servers could)
I’ve seen queued map zergs on reset nights. Meaning, the majority of the capped map population is working on one or two tactics at a time. And this is not just SF, but ET and FC as well.

Unfortunately, (and I hope other share the same sentiment), I’m not going to give you specifics :P. That’s part of the whole ‘warfare’/know your enemy sort of thing.

My message to SF:
With your inevitable move up to T7 (and probably to higher tiers soon after) just around the corner… please, please, please do us, FC and ET, the honour and give ‘em T7 guys the best you can! Give ’em yer full might!
If you go in there and loose, then I’m going to be broken since I really think FC and ET deserve better than scraping the bottom of the barrel for eternity.

To FC and ET: when the T7 looser comes down this will be our chance to show what we’re really made of. All along people have been trolling our plights saying that any T7 will just ROFLSTOMP in any case, but I really believe this won’t be the case. Let’s not slip up though. If any of us can make it out of T8 it will really make those trollers swallow their words!!!

So let’s give SF a good fight these next few rounds until they move up and toughen them up a bit eh?

This. You guys fight tough and do not give up. I think whoever moves down is going to be in for a big surprise!

If GoM or any other T7 server moves down, they will be feeling the full wrath of both FC and ET for their blatant arrogance and ROFLSTOMP comments.

I foresee ET and FC working together once again for this common goal.

And if SF moves up, congratulations. You guys definately have earned it and it is not being handed to you. Make the T7 servers eat their words.

I definitely feel closer to ET and SF right now than I did to DR and KN. I guess we’re the new and improved tier 8 buddies.

Sorrow’s Terrace of Denravi’s Crossing

Forged in hell…

I wonder how our fellas in HoD will feel when they face SF once again…

or Crossing Sorrow’s Terrace will require a stroll with the army of darkness

i think im going to miss filthy :’(

insanemaniac.2456:

me too

Perhaps we can work out some sort of visitation rights?

Or even better! Roflstomp whichever server drops into T8 and you guys can join us in T7!

Well, if you guys do actually move up today. Best of luck, never had anything against you guys and always fun fights. Going to miss guilds like King. (especially Seven)

Sure you guys will do great in T7.

GrandmaFunk.3052:

T8 servers, what would you say your..

1) average EB population during weeknight primetime?
2) average overnight coverage?
3) biggest zerg size you tend to see?

1) About 40 people
2) There is nobody
3) About 16 people

So nothing to worry about. Don’t need to prep for anything at all, we’re just a T8 server.

Man I’m going to miss everyone in T8…but I know we will meet again in a higher tier

Ditto! Haven’t heard from Katz or Ungood yet, hopefully they are not doing bad things because they are so depressed to lose us as frenemies!

I am going to miss you guys <3
soo many golems lost, badges earned, and curse words thrown around.
But all the good things must come to an end (maybe).
If SF do move up this week, I really hope to see you guys (ET/FC) again.
Maybe not in tier 8 since we all know we are better than that.

Good luck from NSP

Now, this should prove quite interesting. Pardon me as I get my butterflies and bullets all nice and prettied up…
As to whoever eventually ends up down here (we all know it depends on when the new math kicks in.), we baked some nice pizza for you. Yes, we used the “special” mushrooms.

ET and FC:

I hope you give your new neighbors as rough a welcome as possible when they arrive. It’s up to you guys to prove to ANet that the only thing keeping us down in the Glicko Ghetto was ratings numbers, and I’m looking forward to revisiting this matchup with you guys in T7.

100% in agreement with this sentiment. Give ’em hell ET and FC! We expect to see you guys in T7 soon!

I’ll love everyone one of you SFers for ever and ever, until we reach T7 with you that is

I find this very appropriate since Katness was from the lowest Tier of districts…

Katniss*

Saddens me you didn’t get the name right
Hunger Games so awesome (finished reading the books for a 6th time…..those parachutes and children…. still gets me…. /cry)

GG & GLHF to everyone on reset, we may be getting a boost but the fighting is far from over!

Edit: False, District 13 is still the last district…no matter what

Never read the books, so whatever nerd… :P Just kidding…

SF, you better show us all you don’t belong here or in T7. Shoot through those guys and knock on T6s door. It’d make us feel tons better about how we fared against you :-D

Cantur, My wife and I actually zipped through the first book.. It’s worth giving it a shot :-)

Tier 8, we send you gates of madness to kick you into oblivion ^.^

Whoot best of luck SF you guys will go far!!!! Welcome GOM get ready!

SO LONG SUCKAHS

t7 is fun so far, but gotta say I’m not sure things like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvWqr2nxTXs&feature=youtu.be will happen again. I can hope, though.

O.o so the ranking boost happened already?
