Guild Wars 2

Hi There!

Just wanted to post something about what happened with Anvil Rock Match up those last 2 weeks. I’m pretty sure it mostly bad luck, but maybe there something to learn from it.

So here it is : Anvil Rock, a funny server with a low pvp population. People are kinda cool and help each other in W3. But sadly we are pretty bad.

So During early 1 days match up, we got stomped most of the time. We ended many time fighting for the 2nd place, and only once first. So it was really hard, but people were still learning how to play.

The first real weeks arrive. I see we are match up versus Shilverpeak, not sure I remember them tho. I thought they might be a lot stronger then us, but not sure.

Then we get stomped. They were a lot more then us, and had organisation, something we lacked badly. We had our fight during the weeks, sometime getting the orbs and controling a part of the map. We didn’t really fight with the third server, as we were both getting handled by Shilverpeak.

But it was fun, I love being the underdog, and raiding their camp in their borderland was thrilling.

Friday is there, we lost by a big marging. Can’t wait until next match up, so we get a good fight.

Oh my god, what I see. We are still Matched with Shilverpeak!! What the hells? I learned after that they were ranked below us before our first encounter, and they didn’t get enought point to go higher then 1 rank over us.

So now we are matched with them and Boris. Another low level server like us.

I don’t know if Shiverpeak as gotten better, or our team has given up or maybe even because Boris is weaker then our previous “ally” (way to say it, we dont help each other, but we tend to not fight) but oh my god are we getting our kitten kick. This week everytime I logged, the map was nearly all green.

We are usually doing a come back at 9pm, but yesterday when I was there, the map was about 95% shilverpeak. We tried to do a run for a Bay, we got a tower then got zerged by a force with twice our number.

So we switched BL, only to get the outmanned buff. We tried to hold our only camp, building ballista and arrow cart (yeah I know in a camp, but that was the only thing we had). We defended for like 10 minutes before another zerg of like 30 players attacked our 10 active player defending. (with orb buff)

So we switched BL against, now going in Eternal. Outmanned buff… during primetime… in the most popular battleground. Oh well. Went for some camp raiding, got some, lost some fight. Since we had to fight mercenary in camps, most of the time they had time to come and get us before we finished.

Thats how my night finished.

I love being the underdog, I love a challenge, but this is getting boring right now. I think its mostly because of bad luck, but if we get another match up like that, I think we will lose too many player to come back.

I will stay, but others that don’t like pvp as much will just give up. Especially when you have the outmanned buff, it’s very frustrating cause you know that even if we were the best pvpers all around, we still aren’t enought to control the map.

That was my rant of the day. I not asking for a solution or anything, just wanted to share the server story. Anvil Rock is still a pretty cool server to join in.

TL;DR We are getting stomped since release, getting boring, sharing story. Outmanned. I’m crying.
