Guild Wars 2

dreztina.4820:

Two weeks away and I forgot how much I hated Yak’s Bend. The numbers might not be there anymore, but the mentality hasn’t changed a bit. Still the most unpleasant zerg server I’ve ever had the misfortune of being matched against.

Hey, thanks for generalizing our entire server. I do like to solo roam. Either looking for random 1v1 action, or on my way to an objective.

This time, I’m rarely finding any Mags by themselves. When I do and engage, I end up getting run over by his buddies or some random zerg. So yeah.

I’m still thankful for the SM guys coming over. They bring a lot of skill and organization to the team. Vocal players are the kind you want on your team.

Right now we’re in 11th pushing a 7th place position. I’m not sure what’s happening. What’s going on with these other T4 teams? Are we all wearing cloaks and wizard’s hats on Maguuma? Do we have massive unknown transfers filling our alternate maps? It feels like a slow climb in numbers still, and I still would like to see more presence in our Mumble. It would speed things up even more. I never expected to have full control of all 4 maps in this tier right out the gate.

I think we are excelling because we have a constant presence throughout all hours of the day. Not a zerg, but it seems we can form one, pulling people from here and there.

It’s funny to see people say we’re a mindless zerg when we took your entire borderland in 15 (10?) minutes on reset and both our servers were in a queue there.

Tynan.6279:

Wow Mag is one big Tier 2 Zerg now with all those T2 transfers!

I don’t believe we got any transfers from Tier 2 servers… Our most recent guild transfers were WaR from Borlis Pass and SM from Ehmry Bay … and EoH and SAnD were from Anvil Rock/ Northern Shiverpeaks respectfully… and of course all the bandwagon players from our last 2 matchups against BP and DR…. the only one in this matchup whose apparently received a T2 transfer was a guild from TC that joined you Yaks.

Not trying to start anything just want you to have your info correct

russia.9057:

The difference between Mag’s zerg and Yak’s zerg is that Maguuma built a community based on discipline, coordination and skill PRIOR to having superior numbers. Yaks has actively recruited anyone that will transfer since transfers existed.

Maguuma is the one and only server to not actively recruit and have instead built a community that revolves around talent and have pulled in transfers because people want a high quality WVW experience. Every other server in every other tier has no quality control and just wants numbers.

That’s what separates Maguuma from literally every other server in the game. Yeah we have superior numbers now but we got them from in game skill, not forum hording players.

See this is funny because I’ve been on many servers and played WvW and got involved with their community if I can. And Yak’s Bend has the best community, tactics, and cooperation I’ve seen on any of them. To be fair though I’ve never played on Maguuma. On IoJ currently and guild is considering a transfer and I’m trying to talk them into Yak’s, Sadly some people want to bandwagon onto either Maguuma or Kaineng and I refuse to go to those servers so I might lose my guild.

Then why did Yaks lose on reset on the 2 borderlands that you did manage to queue? Including your home Bl in 15 minutes?

Mortalitas.9710:

Dear BP, DR and all other servers! Please come pick up your recent transfers to our server. If they are not picked up within 24 hours we will have to publicly execute one every 30 minutes at Garrison in Mag BL. Thank you for your time:)

And i thought the only clown over the internet was plok from BP, but im always wrong

You have server forums. I keep seeing that we’re just a zerg now, and that guy thinks yaks has superior tactics, but we did go 166 vs 166 on your BL with no third server and you lost the entire thing very quickly.

“Yaks mumble beforehand seemed to expect an easy victory given our past dominance of Maguuma (at least in the YBBL channel where I was). Instead, we lost all Keeps on YBBL in the first 10 minutes, despite the having a queue and IoJ sending literally nothing to our map.”

You got outplayed straight into the ground. Deal with it.

Tell them not to go to Maguuma, I hear they’re real jerks.

Exhibit A: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Need-a-home-Don-t-choose-Maguuma/first

@Pinko
I can’t answer that for you. I am not on Yak’s, haven’t been for quite a while now. I know when I was there, anytime we/they went up against someone with equal numbers we won or held our own. I’m not on Yaks anymore. I left for Real life friends and we server hopped spending 2-3 weeks on each server we went to to get a feel for the WvW community and find a good guild (not just one with numbers). I never tried Maguuma as I said. I know that they were a server with good tactics. I also know there have been other servers with good tactics and when a bandwagon rush reached those servers their tactics usually fall apart over time because it is hard to control a mass of people (unless you just count people zerging with the commander icon as control).

I’ve played in teir’s 1-6 for WvW. Teirs 4 and 5 are the ones that seem to be fun and tactics and stratagy can actually work. Above that it becomes a mass zerg, below that there seems to be not enough people that care about WvW. (I can’t speak for teirs 7 and 8 because I haven’t been there)

Props to the Ele from OG that I just dueled with for like 5 minutes. I’m the hooded ranger from YB. That was a lot of fun.

Too bad yours or my (or both) server mates came to break it up (plus like 5 coyotes lol). Hope to see you out there again…

Here I’ll say it so you guys can find a different topic!

Yes Maguuma is winning because they have absolutely the most skilled, the best tactics, most coordination, and all this while being outnumbered. They are the best server at all things, and all servers should bow down to their greatness in all they do! There how’s that? Now let’s talk about other things that don’t have to do with how superior Maguuma is to every other server in every way.

No Maguuma is bad. It’s everyone’s last chance to transfer off of Maguuma to Yak’s Bend. Please do it Mag!!

Look, it was your server that started this debate. Yaks should probably keep a low profile until they are back in their own Garrison at the very least.

People joined your server because it was winning its tier by and large, no different than other bandwagon servers. You fell down into easier tiers, outclassed them, and drew the losing sides unhappy players. People that join YB typically do so because of the community not the scoreboard.

What you have to ask is if you really want people that came on, 1) because they were losing elsewhere, and 2) who left their previous server once they were losing. What will happen if they lose on your server where they have even less attachment. I guess you’ll find out these answers upon moving up.

Not to say Mag doesn’t have a core of actually skilled players, and maybe those came to YB on reset, but to say your whole server is full of disciplined skilled players, seems rather far-fetched when you dragged in others that were previous losers.

You are stating things we all already know. The major guild transfers we got were not because of the scoreboard. Look at our match history.

They’re also from BP!

The only good thing about the transfers is watching certain Yaks posters show their kitten in tough times. Not all, mind you, or more than one or two really, most of Yaks are cool people in my book who, I am sure are as annoyed by these transfers as we are.

But that is the only good thing, everything else is bad.

And they also came over on their own without anyone from Maguuma begging them to do so, because they want to play with talented and coordinate players. That’s the difference.

YB offers a community? What is so unique about YB’s community?

They have forums…our forums are dead ;_;

Can I just say that Maguuma is willing to make an exception and would like to request a transfer from jzgamekid. If any server has seen jzgamekid please return him to us.

Well, I’m the only person in my guild.

Not that anyone here likely knows my guild, but still, you could identify me that way if you did.

Can Yak’s Bend take an east keep on a map where they don’t have southeast spawn? I’d like to see them try for an experiment.

(There is only one jumping puzzle on the map.)

P.S. I know I’m a hypocrite for posting this but why do people even post in these threads? You are a nameless, faceless enemy. No one from the other 2 servers knows who you are.

That’s really not true. Because we can’t see names in game, posting on the forums is how people get to know who is who. It’s not perfect without names, but you can still see guild tags, and that’s often enough.

Wow, so this is a bit funny. Yak’s had a queue and they’re trying to cry “outnumbered”? I honestly thought Yak’s forgot it was reset night and that’s why they didn’t show up until two hours later. Come to find out we simply Maguuma’d them. This brings a while new perspective to things.

Look, it was your server that started this debate. Yaks should probably keep a low profile until they are back in their own Garrison at the very least.

What a strange thing to say. Servers don’t start debates; nobody’s been appointed to Yak’s Bend Official forum representative. I would hope you’d have the maturity to judge statements as that of individuals, from their own limited perspectives, as limited as your own.

If I were to judge Maguuma by a few select posters here, the image formed would be quite opposite to what I know Maguuma to be.

To people looking for an explanation to Yak’s poor opener: There was overconfidence, followed by a lot of new militia who are still finding their feet. The large Militia numbers were because of a recent PvE engagement drive, and possibly individual transfers of people looking for community first.

It is my hope that we can train those militia passionate about WvW to the standard we’d like everyone to be at in the weeks to come after free transfers close, and maybe grow our core WvW guilds a bit.

It’s quite possible that Yak’s Bend ends up with not enough coverage to compete in the upper tiers, and that’s fine. The majority in the Alliance is still playing this for fun.

psy.5437:

No kitten server loyalty at all. Talk about demoralising for all the rest of us left on IoJ.

Funny all the people come out now saying IOJ guilds had no loyalty, but when asked the pve community to help out every now and then in wvw they would just troll us in trade now that we left you guys feel all self righteous or something. I didn’t see any of you out in battlefield dumping all your gold on upgrading keeps/towers when we needed it most. No one came to help when started to lose even after tons of forum posts asking nicely. I loved IOJ and all the people that made it good, too bad they all left. I feel bad it had to happen but please respect be people that carried the server…..

Oh and also I don’t see how IOJ was a group of small disorganised guilds shows how little you guys contributed we had a full NA alliance. Also hire had over 450, ND over 1000, I believe Drgn had over 400 ….

With all the server moves in the last 2 weeks and watching tier5 scores I have to take off my hat to mags for the public recruitment they didn’t do. I played too many hours after reset. This is a diff mags. You guys had the numbers all day and night. The matchup I would love to see this week would be mags kain and db. To this end I think anet should put on 2 day games for a week or so that tiers can sort themselves fAst and we all get back to fun balanced matches. Good luck mags I hope you enjoy your wait to play time.

Sounds like Maguuma should stage a ramtest until the pubbies leave. No fighting, just ram building and grub kiting.

If you fold it in fours you flip it over and do it some more

Yes and no… ¬_¬

EOH came to Mag about 4 weeks ago. Officially the majority of our guild is in it’s 3rd full matchup, but we shifted over from Anvil Rock in the middle of a matchup and didn’t present ourselves until the start of the following matchup, save for our rep that was already on Maguuma for what could have been our 1st (or 4th back). Of course, we’re not leaving (1 complete move is enough). For better or for worse, we’re going to stick with Mag because we like it here and we have members that are natural Maguuman’s now anyways.
