I’m also sure that there are people on SBI that are burned out from weeks of rough matches.

I’m sure this week’s match is already wearing a bit thin with some people, especially our commanders who are trying to put points on the board. However, we’re winning a lot of fights out there. We just don’t have the resources available to hold many objectives on the map. Doing well in open field fights is going to have to be enough for awhile, at least while we’re up against a server with such a large WvW presence.

And now a couple of pics from a fight earlier tonight to encourage our fellow SBI soldiers. Don’t give up, there’s still plenty of fun to be had…

Pic 1 – Wow that’s a lot of red names

Pic 2 – Hey don’t leave, the party’s just getting started!

First picture.. Lower left corner…

Gangster Gil and his Afro’ed friend “Happy Bob”.

Bob also paints in his spare time, when he’s not with cleaning his rifle or sharpening all those pointy spikes on his arm guards.

I do think it’s puzzling however when some of the same people complain that making things organized is making the server “pro-WvW” are the same people who complain that we’re not winning.. And they either don’t care to show up to help or don’t listen to anyone and do their own thing which can sometimes cause additional problems.

You do realize you just insulted two of our more dedicated WvWers? Coral and Tallisi, like me, are often in there 10-12 hours a day working their butt off.

I wasn’t thinking of them as much as those who voice this idea in mapchat and yet surprisingly never show up when someone ask’s in map/team channel for help to guard a supply depot or escort a yak.

I’ve also seen commanders poo-poo the fact that there was any sort of voice channel where people could listen in to the over-all strategy going on.. I did wonder why anyone with a commander tag would ever discourage trying to let people have more information of overall strategy?

I know all too often I’ve wondered “whats going on??” for over-all strategy, and just being able to listen I felt provided a ton of insight into the flow of how things were going on, and what people were trying to do. From early warnings of attacks, being able to react faster, to getting a glimpse of high level strategy, just having that insight helped a lot.

So if you’re a commander and you’re negative on the idea, of people being able to actually understand what you’re doing beyond a simple “follow me”, I’d have to wonder the reasons why.

Assuming the commander is actually working with others and trying to coordinate things and not just off doing their own thing because they had 100g that is. I’ve seen more than I want who did that also, no idea in WvW and crashed and burned.

Does that apply to the two in question? No idea. I have seen a commander be extremely negative about the very idea of anyone doing more than following their icon, and listening in on any sort of VoIP. Again, makes me wonder why.

When I want to walk to someone when I’m at work I don’t sit there and type everything back and forth, I call them direct, or go talk to them in person. Verbal communication is not a bad thing. Judging by the 40+ people that were in the channel on TCBL yesterday I’d say that a sizable percent of the people on the BL agreed. And all but I think 3-5 of us just listened, that’s all.

Some people simply don’t like using headsets or voice comms. It’s as simple as that. This “assimilate or you’re stupid/silly” is the crux of our current growing pains right now. There is a distinct lack of respect and a lack of understanding that people on map are volunteers. Treat them poorly and they’ll leave. Let them decide how they want to play, and respect that.

Let people play how they want to. On both sides of the proverbial divide.

No one is ‘penalized’ for not using VOIP for whatever reason

It is undeniably an efficient way of communication, and its been great seeing more faces in it lately – running around and doing things with much faster response times.

Haha that made me chuckle.

Those hacks man. How do thieves works. Going to jail.

PS: The thief suicided because TC was leaving the map.

So…since when was camping 6 mesmers in your keep, and using a thief to stealth rez hacking?

It’s a tactic that has been used many times quite successfully

I would just like to say to those who were camping my dead body in Bay. (Yes, that was me spamming the endless tonic in the video, which is not hacking.) I hope you enjoyed the cakes and feasts that I set out for you while you sat with me.

Much love from PiNK <3

This video of a SoR thief was taken by a transfer sent to spy.

Well I don’t know about everyone, but most of PiNK will let people complete the puzzle as long as they don’t attack others.

Why is SoR suddenly posting so much negativity, don’t be sore winners guys. Chin up!

I don’t know what it is about the jumping puzzle, but when I enter it, I feel like I’m in the movie Goonies. Above me are a bunch oh campers, drool coming down their mouths, and they are jumping around making weird happy sounds when they knock someone off. I see their faces and they all look like different versions of “Chunk.” A voice in my head tells me, “Leave those Chunks alone. They are having too much fun to be bothered by the likes of you.” I leave right away.

Once a fat Norn stabbed in the thigh in a JP.

The Coast will rise again!

To the TC who came out to play thanks for the fun battles today. SBI hope to see more of you soon. Welcome new SOR residents, if you think someone was cheating please take it up with the leadership of their guild via pm or submit a report to anet to evaluate. The threads in the forum need to stay clean so they stay open.

Bavragor that is an unacceptable score update, please check previous page for tips.

That garrison in the TC map i think has been the bane of the SoR’s entire week so far. Every attempt we’ve made on it has failed -_- TC too quick on the defense call. We’ll get it though… soon…

I’m sincerely glad to hear that you guys keep trying, as it gives us something competitive to do while our current match-up is the way it is. I’m really hoping that we’ve held onto it, as nothing would make me more proud.

Why is SoR suddenly posting so much negativity, don’t be sore winners guys. Chin up!

There really isn’t negativity. Most of us at SoR are apologetic to TC/SBI for the matchup quickly getting lopsided. I feel I can speak for most of the server when I say we would all prefer hard fought matches and equal coverage across the board.

I am very disappointed at all of the players who jumped servers to SoR. When the going gets tough, the tough jump over to the server in the lead I guess.

Most of all, I blame ArenaNet for ZERO INACTION on a big problem for the past 4 months. Who gives a flying crap about guesting at this point? The best option would have been to just give all accounts 1 free server transfer and be done with it. Instead, WvW has turned into a digital version of duck-duck-goose with the world transfer feature.

I think he meant “we” as in “anyone who isn’t SoR there’s so many of them frowny face.”

Or “we” as in the collective “all of us in this match-up.” The general version of “we”.

Why are you disappointed? They are making it more difficult for people to transfer servers so there will be less bandwagoning. Of course people are going to use their last free chance to jump to a place they might find more fun.

Please don’t think they came here to dominate T2. They came here to make SoR competitive in T1. I can speak for all of us when I say the sooner we get out of T2 the better. I dont think any of us like steamrolling people in PPT.

To the Asura Elementalist that was trying to get the vista in the southeast of EB up on the crumbling wall structure… (either SoR or TC, just saw red and didn’t pay attention to which server you were on.)

1) I am sorry I attacked you. I just saw the red tag and didn’t realize you were just trying to get the vista until you were halfway up the wall. I tried to make my character stop targetting you, but you ran away.
2) Thank you for running away instead of ganking me, and THEN getting your vista.

Sincerely, the Human Engineer with the rifle.

None of you like steamrolling? I have seen SoR spawn camping on numerous occasions. Or sending 50+ to wipe out 10 SBI players.

So spare me the “We feel so bad!” when you have 20 players standing outside spawns.

Not our fault you keep coming out the same entrance…

I renamed SoR to SoZ (Sanctum of Zerg) where as the SoZ BL is now known as “The Hive”. SoR puts starcraft and warhammer 40k to shame… i thought the vast ammount of zerg and tyrannids were bad…. until i met SoZ.

The bitternesss and malice has to stop. Yes, the matchup is skewed, yes you are out coveraged.

No one knows how you feel more than SoR, we went through 9 weeks of it. If it makes you feel better to vent, then by all means. But quite frankly, you are making your server look bad while preaching to the choir.

Not that we’re throwing the match, but I guess you could say we’re trying not to win by so many points that we are thus prematurely moved to Tier 1. Please don’t misunderstand, we want to win and we want to get to Tier 1, but only when the time is right. I personally don’t think we are ready for Tier 1 yet. I couldn’t be happier for the recent influx of Oceanic guilds, but before we move to Tier 1, I think we all need to learn and practice working together so that we can at least make a decent attempt against the likes of SoS and JQ.

I agree with Indo, TC and SBI members, we perfectly understand what you are going through right now; you are preaching to the choir. All servers go up and down; just keep fighting to the good fight and eventually your hard work will be rewarded.

Heck, I mean right now every guild is playing their alts on SoR.

Everyone is spending more time welcoming the new guilds, getting to know them, working with them than paying attention to the ppt or the match.

It sucks for TC, but don’t be surprised if you see the same matchup next week.

Go out a different exit maybe instead of complaining. Typically people spawn camp because they are bored. As far as 10 getting rolled by 50… happens all the time in this game to every server.

I was keeping it real with you and being nice and considerate. I am not sure why you are so bitter.

joocheese.6314:

Not wise, if another server moves up (which is possible) then you’ll lose points for a week and drag things out even more.

It’s cool that we’re outnumbered, but please don’t toy with us. You’re ready for T1.
