Guild Wars 2

Devitz.2136:

Hmm so maybe I will also add something :
- 80-100 people in one BLOB, GG Riverside, it’s simply pathetic that this is the only way you can play this game

To be fair there was an extreme amount of zerging yesterday on all sides. Its was simply unbelievable.

I hope that the coming days will see more guild groups splitting from the zergs… If nothing else to avoid a whole slew of reports to Anet about graphics cards spontanously exploding.

Disgusting zergo-blobs from AR and RS yesterday evening…u leave us no chances except make our own BLOB :\
Next time split your Commanders pls, dont be a “Wheeha Girls”

You took our Hills . Piken held it all morning/day and night. Had a lot of fun defending it though.

My only complaint is that when Garrison was taken no sign of attack was shown on the keep and that I was unable to add the needed buffs in Hills (not sure why that didn’t work tbh).

Other then that, it was exactly as I expected it would be. Looking forward to even less upgrading, escorting and repairing,

People pls stop this kitten. what has happened to all the brave Piken Guilds?
Oh they transferred to SFR;-)
Few Hours after patch and once again only people crying are still Piken neither RS or AR, think about it.
I saw similar zergs from both on RS-Borderlands yesterday AR went into our Hills in let me think 4-5 Minutes^^, PS did they same in our Bay.
Do you see somebody of us complaining about?
You should stop it, it becomes annoying.
RS is just Germany perhaps little Austrian and Swiss influence and we doing our best do be decent, but this QQ about Zerging its just ridiculous and you know it.
Dont blame people for things all Server do and yes there are many guildgroups on RS running from 10-30 people.
Last three days should have prove that
The Commanderstory……………its just easy to explain often there is only one commander with symbol on the map to bind the pugs, cause most people are not Ts3 so the other people are running on Guild groups without Commandersymbol.

Greets Myrmi

btw………….i forgot something i know your playstyle, every Guild group about 20-30 people run with their commander fine, but we have much more pugs and most of them are without guildtags or in 3-5 man guilds.
We truly have less organized Guilds than Piken so we have to do something else to be competitive.

OMG another night of Screen Shot Wars. That people from Piken are complaining about Zergs is, well, really refreshing at least. That´s the nature of WvW you know, so wipe your tears, stand up and fight. Next time you will outnumber everybody.

Each server has now to face his “zerg dark side” !! ^^

Even you piken :p

good thing is now you can see the zerg

Right guys stop QQ about zergs, they was here all time now we just can see them full loaded so keep wipe them as usual ^^

and we have the guild zergs aswell, running around in their own groups.

Ru serious?

Not a single RS guild team was spotted ALL NIGHT. If any Piken saw a German guild group last night please let it be known… i bet my house for a second time that none were ‘running around’ away from your monsterzerg.

Maybe not last night, but there is 1 RS guild that runs solo: [dw].
Can I have your keys now?

Endemonadia.8593, we usually only have 1 commander per map – since we have the guild groups aswell. Its not “standard” for us to have more than 1 commander running around, it never has been.

Deff.7903:

good thing is now you can see the zerg

Unless there’s so many nametags in the way you cant even see the zerg :p

I am not really concerned with these zerg battles as they are perfect for an organized 10-15 man guild to do precision/flanking strikes on (you cannot control a zerg or focus damage when its a battle over such a large area). Not facing the zerg alone is more a matter of movement, knowing where you are going and where you can fall back.

More concerned what’s going to happen in next week match, if the Piken zerg start to match the others due to random free transfers, pushing out guilds from WvW :/

Pikeners are not crying, these are just legitimate complaints about megablobbing.

Personally I don’t care, since the only two things such a huge group is good at is chewing through doors and filling my loot bags. :p

I would definitely hate to see this become a new trend though, simply because it introduces horrendous skill lag and it really is much less fun than smaller group fighting.

Blob or no blob,i had to empty my bags 3 times yesterday

Endemonadia.8593:

Thankyou for admitting that u only had 1 commander per map.

It is even more “disgusting”: There are times when we have 0 commanders on a map!! Us basterds!

The simple truth is that many times, we do not have enough commanders active to run many squads in parallel. Commanders often have to play for many, many hours with no break since there is no replacement ready. I would be the first who would be happy if we could utilize more split strategies since I think this would only multiply our prowess. From my perspective, Riverside did a good job in bringing new players to WvW, but the server is still in need for a larger number of active commanders.

Winneh.2064:

This. Smaller strike teams are often formed as a particular guild’s effort, or send off for special tasks by a commander. Those units often do not run with activated commander icon and organize solely by TeamSpeak/chat, so you might not immediately recognize them as such. Please do not blame us only because you are not scouting properly.

Endemonadia.8593:

We will continue to blame RS for breaking WvW as long as u continue to run 100+ zergs.

And this is the most ridiculous statement I have read in a long time. Seriously. Please, don’t be silly.

Also, you have a strange way of counting. In the screenshot you provided I count about 30+ players. In the other screenshots in this thread (not necessarily depicting Riverside players) I count up to 60+ fighters per party. I was not able to play at prime time since the no-culling patch, but I would be delighted to actually SEE a 100+ zerg someday.

Well considering my question was LAST NIGHT and i put that in capitals u failed miserably at proving there was a single RS guild running.

It was very very obvious that the RS tactic was to blob up to epic proportions on every map. The sight of 100+ RS running n a blob was pathetic.

And i told u that Piken had THREE commanders on EB last night… two of them took off their tags so we could all blob up. That was the only way we could fight the RS 100+ zerg.

Well done RS for creating blob-wars in T3.

funny how AR and RS are QQ’ing about piken QQ’ing and that RS actually thinks that a holiday is a reason to blob???
for real guys, do you really think its fun to “follow the commander and press 1” because that’s what happens in blob wars.
also the “what happened to the brave piken guilds” only Sin, B00N and RG moved to SFR, we still have more WvW guilds than I’ve seen on AR or RS this matchup, but why should you two servers care about guilds if all you care about is how big your blob is.

Well I can confirm that there really was a RS megablob at AR borderlands tonight, got run over by a sea of red personally. It was like being eaten alive by a horde of fire ants. Wouldn’t be surprised if there were 100 or so players in there.

Guys basically ran around the map capping things, of course everyone tried to stop them and some (relatively) good (as in profitable lag fests) fights were had, but the way the game works you can’t really stop a zerg that size without an equal or greater one.

Remove. The. AoE. Cap. ANET!

Come on guys … keep calm.
It was not planned. The most surprised person on the map was our commander.
Suddenly we had such a huge amount of players on the Piken-BL map.
You cannot forbit people joining the WvW and sticking to the commander.

You have some fantastic pushing guilds. The day before we have been wipped a dozen times on hill fortress. And none of the RS-Players blamed you for outnumbering us or for hidding behind your walls. It was even the opposite. We concratulated you for your strenght and good tactics.
So keep fighting and things will normalize the next few days unless holiday time is over.

i read this whole thread as QQ of PS that there are not enough wvw guilds with 20-30 players raids… but nothing is going to change that, lots of players on RS are in different small guilds and often run together under 1 commander. you would still complain about “blobs” even if they had the same guild tag, just because they dont run in 2 groups of 25 instead of 1 group of 50 (add maybe 20 “pugs” to that – and yes there you go, “blob” here “blob” there – QQ more?)
i haven’t seen a 100 man zerg yet… when it comes to 100 vs 100 there is no way things stay organized enough to “blob” – should be enough lootbags for both sides in the end

Stormraven.6571:

We are not complaining about blobbing, we are not complaining about zerging… we are complaining about each team having just ONE team on the entire map and that team being of 100+ players.

The blob that RS created in EB last night was utterly stupid, it was easily over 100 players.

Stormraven.6571:

i haven’t seen a 100 man zerg yet… when it comes to 100 vs 100 there is no way things stay organized enough to “blob”

Dude… just sit in EB tonight and u will see RS creating a 100+ man zerg and then AR and Piken having to do the same in order to fight it.

Tonight i predict plenty of 100 v 100 monster-blob fights in EB.

Keep running in 100 players blob, but keep in mind that if Piken creates such a group you got no chance in any fight and we saw it yesterday on Augury Rock’s borderland…
over 40k kill, looking for more! 10g each day from lootbags, I wanna be a millionaire!
But the question is – where the hell is FUN of smaller scale fights?! 20vs20/30vs30… I miss you Gandara!
German mentality is really strange

I love it last night & most likely gonna have an awesome time again this Evening, so much loot when all the PvE players went into WvW for the first time, plz come again.

would you at least learn to count players instead of pets and creatures? i was on EB in the evening and i agree with you that it was more players than usual but please please stop exaggerating that much…

as for the “ONE” team… as it was already stated: RS is in lack of capable commanders atm, so why not follow the few we got? :S

and there was [TIA] doing some guild action on EB besides the blob you complained about (at least afaik)

brag moar pleaz, i wuv it!

i get a feeling that whole PS got a problem with numbers… 10g easy, np – 40k kill – dream on

[ edit: except you mean your total kills – but i don’t get why it would even matter in this matchup thread, it doesn’t mean anything at all ]

Can we start posting something other than QQ about blobs? It’s getting lame, boring and immature. Few people from piken complaining about blobs while the other servers give lame excuses and reasons, and complain about the complainers. Infinite loop. It’s just going back and forth and the same things are repeated in every post.

The blobs were already there, you just couldn’t see them. It’s not like the max limit of players in WvW has been increased.

Centrix is right…lets enjoy this match up and the WvW revival.
In the end,every single thing you say in the forums has absolutly no meaning…What counts is the butchers bill in the battlegrounds!

Yesterday night 2 things made me laugh, first when three piken players captured anzalias tower while all the rest of our guild was defending Stonemist. It was just one more proof that moving with a mindless zerg of 70+ players, pressing 1 and lagging to death is not at least optimal. You wiped from a lot less ppl in the castle and u lost a tower

The second was how many ppl are proud to be dungeon masters and they use that title in www. Sorry guys if we aim for u first :P

Endemonadia.8593:

Piken had 3 commanders on the map but had to eventually get 2 commanders to untag so that we could copy RS and blob up under 1 commander… it was the ONLY way we could compete against the German monsterzerg.

Im willing to bet my house that RS did not have more than 1 commander per map all night. If this is how RS want to play then kudos for ruining WvW. It was once about skill but now its all about who can build the biggest zerg…

So I take ur house dude :P Last night on PS BL we ran 2-3 commanders, splitted up a few times. There were 3 guildraids on map, and a big bunch of randoms joining the raids, which just wanted to test new wXP. We had some nice fights with Nug and SOE but for the final takeover of the hills we grouped up together.

Endemonadia.8593:

We will continue to blame RS for breaking WvW as long as u continue to run 100+ zergs.

I always felt respect for medium population servers like PS doing that well in WvW, but after all this QQing about how RS and other servers decide to play, it has certainly decreased. I know the frustration caused by being outmanned by enemy blobs, but you have to accept that the existing game mechanic simply rewards this behaviour a way too much.

Don’t Hate The Player, Hate The Game.

Endemonadia.8593:

Oh and a little pic of RS on Piken borderlands at 3am UK time (4am German time). They actually had a bigger zerg on EB at the same time too apparently.

http://img803.imageshack.us/img803/7742/3amo.jpg

Thank your for screenin’ my zerg. Normally i don’t Commander, instead of that i lead a group of 15 skilled Guilides, but i really enjoyed the capping of your T1 Towers and so on. We had a huge Zerg and completely random and no TS, so the 2-3 Wipes where just Pugs misunderstanding my route.

Before that the 3-Party-fight at Hills was just insane!

The thing is, RS got a huge pool of players out there in the PvE! We had same situations like you guys now. I just remember Baruch with hole night and day Zergs and no RS Player activ. Thats the way WvWvW works, the bigger noob group will win. GvG or something like that isnt implemented yet, so far dont complain about zerging.

If we defend our keeps we are “the evil german bunker”

If we fight on the field we are “the evil german blob”

In any case RS seems to be the focus of their matchup most of the time

I think we are on a good way

It is called Wold vs Wold and not Guild vs Guild, you notice the difference?
Sure lag isnt nice, we all dont like it, but thats anets fault.

We are not upset about being ‘outmanned’ or the fact that RS and AR both have much bigger realm populations… we r totally cool with that.

Im saying that when every single player on the RS side all team up to create a monster-blob, thats whats gonna ruin the game.

Im sure tonight everyone is ready with their screenshot button and their frapsing to show exactly what we are talking about

You say that blobbing doesnt upset you and you dont QQ about it, but every post you have made in this come across that way.

Nothing gonna change as long as the game mechanic provides safety in numbers.

Did u go onto EB last night and see the size of the blob RS created?

I heard VII was on AR borderlands so maybe u didnt… we r not exaggerating when we say it went to over 100 players in 1 blob.

I just wanted to say to AR and RS, please don’t take this constant QQing seriously. As you can see almost all of it is coming from a few frustrated individuals, and I assure you will see no respectable Pikey WvWer spend so much time on the forum QQing as opposed to fighting on the battlefield.

These people do not represent the majority who have fun on the battlefield daily and only occasionally jump into the forums to say “Good fight on XX BL yesteray!” etc. When you see unconstructive posts just crying about things like that please do your part and don’t respond/feed or they will just keep coming :P.

Thanks and cya on the battlefield!

@Endemonadia

You QQ in every kittening Thread about blobbing not just here, so you should stop it as your own people told you that……….. instead of that you go on and on……
All 3 Servers faced almost similar Blobs somewhere last night……..its not exclusive an Piken experience hunny;-)

It was ‘nightcapping’ last week lol

apparently there were a few Pikenese QQ’ing in here :-)

Thought I’d login and throw down some fighting talk to the AR blobalob and say keep it up keep coming in those massive groups so that HoB can adjust our specs a little until we crush your entire blob with just 25 people :-)

(this is friendly banter – now bring it!!)

RS,
what are u doing??
ahaha stop it!

stupid blobing, AR border

The funniest thing in here is how the crying Pikenbabys wanna get more attention.
“Hey you evil evil people killed me with your big big zerg. But i killed ALL of YOU and gained 2000000000 Lootbags but you instantly were back in life and killed me!”

No one and i say NO ONE in this thread posts in every second post how much loot he gots from the others.

Piken in this thread are like: 1. QQ you’re so much more! 2. Oh i got so much lootbags from you noobs! 3. QQ 4. Loot etc.

SO funny.

umad ????????

blobing is fine xD

no metter if RS “so much more” – its not a problem, and its much funny to wipe sometimes this terablob
only laughting, no crying

cheers

i have no second commander for splitting, im kinda sry :O

We die, you die, all die – it’s funny :P

We have more keeps as tower, lol

Thanks german blob for lots of fun today
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQXG1A1uGTo

we cant even autoattack due to lag and u are still defending your tactic jesus ,softcore games reward>fun and pvp gg..Stating some facts is tears and crying,welcome to the internet

today’s review of WvW:
AR lost all keeps in their borders during the afternoon, which was really awesome, and this evening, I was in EB, and I noticed AR is really focussed on getting ogrewatch and RS is really focussed on defending it, however I’m glad to see AR found out they can actually attack RS instead of piken only, and we mainly outmaneuvered the enemy blobs.

still wonder if AR really needs to call in their entire blob to call in 4 people… (see screenshot)

oh, and btw, to the one who said “its WvW, not GvG”; its Guild Wars, not Blob Wars, and WvW, not BvB.

and PLEASE, stop focussing Piken on the forums all the times
