Fort Aspenwood – the PvP server
Thanks Dia, I was in Hills for the portal and was made quite toasty by the invaders. We fought hard for the keep having just overcome outmanned buff not 20 minutes before but fell victim to overconfidence and would be equal numbers a little too soon. The simultaneous would be assault on Bay that failed kinda hit hard for several players for DB.

i would like to how FA just portal bombed in Hills on Dragonbrands BL cause you didn’t have a wall down or gate down but you came though the stairs with 30 people. and no way should a mesmer or anyclass be able to do that.
We broke down that north gate 3 times in an hour. Every time we’d get in, get wiped, resupply and hit the door again. So you may have had a hard time sweeping mesmers with that kind of pressure on you.
Meanwhile, good fights in DB BL. It was good fun all around.

There’s a white haired engineer in Orkin Squad that likes to dance on people’s bodies after winning a 5-20v1. If anyone from DB or FA sees him, please give him my kind regards.
Edit: He fell off a cliff running away from one of my guildies and died. It was hilarious. Props to whoever it was for being so bad

While Maguuma camps jp, they get dunked on in EB. And every other map for the matter. Perhaps it’s time to actually use that 30 or so people you got in the jp.
Why?
^This…What’s the point when you cowards will just throw 10 golems at a door the minute we pay for the final upgrade? What good would those 30 people do?

you sound mad.
Just figured I’d give a quick kudos to the 20+ man magguman zerg that chased me around their borderlands for about 5 minutes before finally managing to run me into another group. Was a fun chase.

Maybe…a little…it’s all good though. I targeted him and hunted him down when we took anz. Then I danced on his body while he was being finished.

Maguuma is made up of many different people with many different opinions. Right now there are 4 T2 servers. I, personally, would like to be in a tier that’s an even matchup. I don’t care about being in a higher tier because it seems like the higher tiers are lazier.
This is an interesting comment, because most people in T2 are of the impression that there’s five T1 servers right now. There is also a lot less complaining about it in T2 but what do I know, I’m a roleplayer.
It doesn’t really matter. Maybe there are 4 T1 servers. Either way T1/T2 can’t hold 7 so one is pushed to T3.

Just saw you were on TC, so I suppose it does matter for you…

Not necessarily, we just want good matches. The new FA was a good match for us and BG, as is the current BG/Kaineng match. I have little doubt that if we end up against DB and YB/CD we’ll have another good match, even if it’s lopsided. I like all of the servers I’ve listed, so we’re going to have fun anywhere we end up.
Obviously it’s better for T3 if TC stays up in T2 simply because of experience/population issues. I just found it interesting that T3 believes there’s a ton of T2 servers while T2 believes there’s a ton of T1 servers. It’s sort of funny in the bigger picture lol.

I think it is pretty clear that JQ is T1+ atm, while SoS, SoR, BG, Kain all belong in T1. TC and FA are solidly T2, while Mag and DB are solidly T3. Of course due to the three-slot tier system, two of the potential T1 servers fight it out in T2, while one of the T2 servers drops to T3 and has an easier time of it.
The T1 and T3 outcomes are easy to predict. The winners are never really in doubt. The T2 match-up is the interesting one, especially with Kain having only just arrived.
Mag may get its wish and drop to T4 next week, but unless CD and EBay have become significantly stronger in the past two weeks Mag should do well and return to T3 rather quickly.

See maybe he had someone dance on his corpse and was just getting revenge too. So you are just perpetuating the “issue” and yet I don’t see him on here make a forum post about it all “ugh me stomp little puny dancing man”.
The 2 people manning the trebs in DB keep in EB, I salute you!

I think the general consensus that most people would agree with though is “There are too many servers for the upper tiers right now”.
I believe it will get better in time, we’re just suffering from a few servers being stacked while the rest either remained consistent or were completely stripped of wvw guilds.
The playerbase should be striving to have all 24 servers in each region be much closer in skill and coverage, instead of further apart. Would be able to mix up matches more frequently and, more importantly, would reduce the number of complete blowouts when one server is in a tier above or below where they belong.

You see though, the thing is I danced on his corpse…and his alone. I don’t see how I’m perpetuating the issue unless the guy is going to dance on one of my ally’s corpses. In which case he’s just a jacka—i mean…jackkitten.
When someone dances my corpse after they defeat me by ganking me 5v1 when I’m not expecting it or while I’m distracted fighting someone else, I usually go find them and steamroll over them to dance on their corpse right back.
I think the most ridiculous that I’ve seen was when 5 people ganked my level 20~ alt ranger one day and then all danced on my corpse like it was an accomplishment to win against an upleveled character by outnumbering them 5:1. ;D
More often than not, it doesn’t bother me, it just gives me a target and objective for the next few minutes.

In that situation, I decided it wasn’t worth it to both switch characters and go rally a group of people to help me, and then go hunt down a group of people I would probably not recognize a second time in Eternal Battlegrounds.

It is in fact an accomplishment for some people. Why can’t you just let them have their moment of glory! Think about the children!
It’s [NERF] or nothing!
Dueling is not a barometer for skill in WvW. We don’t duel frankly because we do not enjoy it. Some duels we have accepted has been met with individuals who then completely re-arrange their traits and builds JUST for a fight with us, then go on an anger spree demanding more fights until they “win last”. Waiting 10 minutes for a group trying to “counter-build” us is quite honestly boring as kitten. Duels do have one upside: they are entertaining to watch when we have our lunch and dinner breaks. We’re all entitled to play this game in a manner we find entertaining; if you like dueling, more power to ya, its just not AoN’s cup of tea. If you want to fight us so bad, be in your regular builds, and find us on the battlefield

Well this is certainly something. A friend just linked me this, after us first seeing them announcing a toughness buff at a tower over team chat. Anyone else have more experience with these fellows? What are they all about?

They really like to look for places to put buffs, even while other objectives are falling.

That’s weird, it was made by a transfer guild. Also they spelled prestigious wrong.

I have seen over half of those guilds in WvW. They’re not hardcore but I see them often. Think [MATE] is the largest of the bunch.
Another guild [TRA] who has a good commander Missy Duo can show up in force at time as well.
I think when all these guys show up at once it’s like Maguuma 2.0.

I disagree with them being the largest Maguuma Alliance…
We don’t have a fancy website, but Legion Alliance has over 1500 members, and consists of the guilds PYRO, EVOH, GOA, TTK, ME, NOVA, RMNT, FFL, and SCRB. We mostly just coordinate on reset night and some other times throughout the week, but we can queue two borderlands if we all show up.
I know that TRA (The Raven Alliance) also has over 600 active members, and they’re really good.
It’s unfair for one alliance to call themselves, “the largest and most powerful but also the most prestegious (sic) Guild Wars 2 alliance on the Maguuma server,” because it simply is not true.

Totally agreed. Any alliance that does not include [AUK] is clearly more pretentious than prestigious.

[DFND] was asked to be part of this alliance but respectfully declined due to lack of a focus on WvW. Also, if you click to apply on the above website, it takes you to the Tyrian Evilstoppers guild enjin. Pretty informal if you ask me.

It actually says second largest on the site.

Oh, hey, that’s new. I withdraw my complaint.
[MATE] has been on Maguuma for a while. [EK] has been on Maguuma since forever. I’ve spoken to Paralda about some of the things they do community wise which are very interesting but focused predominately in PvE. There are some [EK] guys that I know of that hop into WvW and are regulars.
Nevertheless I’ve never heard of anything quite like the things they can do on our server. Paralda has seen them do things like rally the whole of Lion’s Arch, get them to rampage through Orr Shrines and end up with literally a 100+ man army moving as one. Whatever language they use and openness they have is very effective at getting alot of Maguuma players together to achieve a common goal. I think thats incredible. Imagine if that enthusiasm can be harnessed in WvW?
In the Devonas/Borlis matches our active population seemed to swell dramatically and we have never actively recruited. I sometimes think that alot of the players that turned out were here all along but we haven’t always made WvW the most inviting place to be, especially when its high pressure (like when we are getting outnumbered, hard). So if the MPA guys ever express an interest getting something organized together in WvW and trying to cultivate the right attitude to make really good creative PvP players than I’ll support it.
We can organize a server wide event to raid FA’s borderland over 2 days with everyone drinking Quaggan tonics. You will desecrate the Temple of Storms no more Aspenwooooooood.

You can tell that they patched that in since it’s not in bold. The wording still makes it sound like they are still the “most prestegious” too but if they are doing things for us, then more power to them!
