Guild Wars 2

I wanted to let the WvW community know some facts about what is happening on Piken Square. If you are still wishing to transfer here under a false impression of what is going on, then I wish to give you a clearer picture so that your time and our time is not wasted. There is no point in politics or deception, as we now have nothing left to lose and time has come for a change of community on the server that must not be held down by old baggage or by clueless guilds arriving.

Things to know -

1. Redguard and TUP guilds have left or are in the process of leaving the server. Redguard is heading to seafarers rest. We are at a time where bandwagoning and queues did exactly as we suspected. Our community fractured and some of our best moved on. If you wish to come to piken, expect to endure losses, to be outnumbered and to be dealing with a community that is currently unstable as it attempts to reforge itself for the future.

2. Our organisation is in tatters. With the loss of TUP, we no longer have a chairman for our meetings and we no longer have reliable meetings that everyone can agree on. There is no longer a server voice and the guilds who would lead us chose instead to move away to established communities. If you do come here, don’t expect a good welcome, or even a bad one, for you may find that the building is empty and nobody even notices that you have come.

3. The server is now moving down in tiers and will likely drop a few tiers before it is stable. If you come here seeking to get into a high tier for cheap, you are wasting your transfer money. TUP predicted that we would be the new blacktide and they were our leaders, so they were in the best position to know. The loss of Redguard, TUP and possibly others compounds this even more.

Piken will rise again, but it will be a very different server, run by different leaders and with a different ethos. If you are prepared to take a hand in that, then perhaps you would have a place with us, but the Piken of Old is gone and I want the community to know that this change is taking place.

We need a line drawn under this chapter, so that we can start writing the next one.

Be aware.

I dont know much about TUP, but i can tell you, not having red guard will not be as big a deal as u make out to be, they have moved so many servers, and i really doubt that any server would actually lose a lit without them.

they are an open field guild, they cannot help u with points, which WvW is about.

i dont think you will fall below tier 3 in any case.

You must be in operations because you’re definitely not in recruiting.

Tup Tup salute o/ One of my favourite guilds
Good bye and good luck Friends !

Rg Thx for help and good luck

Hope you will survive like many servers before you PS

Build up and take your time for it.

Posts like this are exactly what is killing off Piken Square you’re right the community is gone and so is BOON laters.

>3< you will survive. Just don’t use points as your reason to play. Have fun.

Someday I’m gonna make a video of a nights worth of RG objective capping or something. Not sure where the “RG don’t cap points” thing came from, but it’s not true. Lately we’ve been capping a tonne of stuff during our raids. Sure, we find capping pretty tedious, but that doesn’t mean we don’t do it.

Also, really don’t see why this thread got posted. Can’t Piken drama stay in the Piken forums?

Really Chrono? Really?

For someone who seems to claim to have Pikens interests at heart, you sure are the first one to whine about everything in the community

i don’t mean to offend you, a big fan actually, i just meant your play style is more focused towards actual fights rather than the points game that others guilds play,
which is actually a good thing,. you should know what am talking about( hint: our opponents have been VS for a while now).

btw, the current WvW is quite stale imo, tier 1 or 8 doesnt matter really, u don’t get anything out of it anyway, good fights on the other hand and getting to learn from guilds like urs is what keeps me interested atleast.

i dont really know why some people take tiers too seriously though.

We only lost 2 good guilds, but Piken is full of great guilds. So I don´t worry about our server.

Not offended in the slightest, don’t worry – I’m just a bit confused about how everyone seems to be saying we don’t cap much/at all. Sure, you won’t catch us sitting on Trebs in Durios taking down SM walls, but we still take plenty of objectives.

RG worst Treb users in all of Tyria.

Wtf. Just wtf.

This is absolutely ridiculous.

Great job turning WvW into a soap opera.

I just have 2 question :

-Why RG is leaving this time ? Piken we’ll go down so you won’t be able to face your old serv that much..
-Where is TUP going ?

Anyway, i hoped this kind of transfer, which ruin ladder balance, was over, i guess i was wrong..

LOL drama, P{S is full of guilds and dont need RG … we climbed up the ladder without them.
Tup is already on AG

I guess RG wants to face some guild in T1 and SFR is the way to do it.
The real answer….only RG knows;)

/Salute

From PS Boon is a real good guild( good eye for tactics)…hope if they plan to go to another server….to check Desolation:)

Haha it can be boring but i just like the sound of the trebs that launch a big ball of doom against the enemies walls/gates.

I agree, RG are good but not designed to WWW. If they are thinking they are coming to SFR to go fast to T1, they are wrong, atm we know we can’t compete with VZ (and maybe Deso is out of range to), we simply don’t have night crew.

But VZ are not only night crew, at present they are the most challenging server in Europe, and because of that its funny to play against them, the problem is during the night, we simple don’t’ have numbers.

If RG is coming I’ going o give you one sample watt is the spirit in SFR. Last night I disconnect from WWW wen one commander brag about 1000 kills during the night. Why? He previously stayed defending a paper SM, and we lost Klovan (T3) because of him. There was other commander (the best we have in EB) on, that ordered to all go to Klovan, that noob stayed and we lost it.

WWW it’s for the server achieve victories, not people, or guilds. Is RG is coming with other agenda, they are not welcome. If they want to join, to play along with us they are welcome. But they have to prove them selfe, because with no doubt we have very good commanders and guilds in the server now.

Piken Square? Good times over? What nonsense is this?

We may be scarred but our resolve has never been stronger. We will fight the world if we have to because we are PIKEN and that is what we do.

Pikeneers! UNITE!

well, VS actually was weaker at nights than Deso for the last few weeks until we had KAZ, maybe it will change soon, the problem is VS has people every single time of the day, and no other server has, which is fine with us.
The annoying part is they dont come out and fight and jsut sit in their towers and arrow carts during the eu primetime when others are online.

i think RG wants to fights GH on deso, they have shown the interest for quite sometime and SFR is their only hope to get that fight.

if SFR does make to tier 1, it would be nice to see some good gvg between iron,gh, zds and RG, WL,

ofcourse we will get wiped but it would be more fun than fighting arrow carts.

On one hand that’s a shame as Piken make T2 interesting – without them its someone like Kodash who are far from T2 quality and Jade Sea who melt faster than butter in a blast furnace.

I was the leading commander on JS for this action, that’s was quite funny, even Sin got in the tower while we took it, but SFR didn’t.
Not to mention you lost BP really soon after that ;p

>3< i remember my short visit in sea fearer. The people there are very World oriented. Great players.

Though I did block one commander there for being too vocal with his sermons. But it was a great experience seeing strategy/numbers (before the paid server transfer came to pass).

As for pikens. Your remaining loyalists will make your World strong. Reminds me of Crystal Desert, where I am now. Many jumped shipped with the diseased paid transfer plague came to pass. But the remaining kids are – strategy wise – better. Though we can’t really stay strong at all times due to lack of man power.

You wrong, it’s not because Intigo mastery treb as its Elem that RG is not designed for WvW !

You don’t need to take keep or ravi to be useful in WvW, killing enemy trying to make this is very useful to, and in this way, RG is very effective.

Sad new for Piken, but you have lot of good guild so it should not be a problem.

lol its hardly all doom and gloom, business as usual still fights to be had off of PS we’re not going anywhere this post is way off the mark.

I heard RG cannot into keeps…

Is SIN moving too?

The good times are over?

2 “over sized Ego” Guilds jump ship and they seem to think the server will collapse LOL. Yes we may drop a tier or 2 but “The Good Times” are Definitely NOT over.

IMPORTANT A guild moved to Piken for a few weeks and left again. IMPORTANT

We need an Emo Pug filter to prevent this type of nonsense.

Ok I’ll fess up. I’ve been sending you bandwaggoners to annoy the good guilds into leaving and maybe come to GH.

Everything is proceeding according to my design.

Yes, I’m ready for my pills now doctor.

Please do not bring TUP into this… we have already talked about it at the meeting and on PS forums. People in the community know our reasons, others might assume different. 2 “over sized Ego" guilds… you clearly don’t know TUP very well then mate.

It depends how the rest of the community handles the situation and how many leave… t3-t4 is whats most likely to happen… unless kitten really hits the fan…

not like Piken will drop back down to tier 8 days unless everyone and their mother leaves on masse.

Wasn’t easy choice to leave, good luck resolving issues and hopefully we get to fight sometime

The jury is still out on whether Mighty Ice Arrow is a worse poster than Tagnut.

Stay tuned for further development.

lmfao. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but when someone plays the game they get to play it how they want. I think you know what I would think you could do with your opinion if you felt you could approach me in game and tell me I was not playing “your way”.

Good luck for the future guys. I hope you achieve your former glory and prove to be an incredibly annoying and educational server for us in the future.

Condolences.

If you feel to good for this server, then get the F out.

I remember you. Didnt you have another account? pedrst or sonething… /ponder

Edit: alcohol kitten yeah

Role players fought their way to Tier 2 im sure that’s a GW2 first

On another note there’s still plenty of us willing to fight unfortunately we endured a rather long server meeting prior to reset leaving most mentally exhausted and asleep on our keyboards so apologies for the poor turn out lol

Actually Tarnished Coast (RP server in NA) fought their way to Tier 2 slightly before Piken and is still here going strong but we have mad respect for Piken for achieving the same feat as well.

If you left can you stay gone this time please? Thanks RG and Tup!

Guilds like GG and KA who have been on this server for a very long time seem to keep showing up with no drama.

We love our community. Probably we are going to change the game to other one title without culings and lags I hope together

QFT. But really, trash like this is what destroys forums. OP should be banned from forums, period.

Really? please get your facts right before you make things up

This is first time we (TUP) have left Piken Square, been on it since the start… and with attitudes like this towards us hardly surprise now is it.

Please refrain from bringing our guild into this.
