Guild Wars 2

So basically whiteside ridge and vabbi have been stuck in the bottom tier and only really face Arborstone or Fissure of Woe, vabbi always get crushed at bottom hopelessly WSR finish 2nd everytime but we could fight with some sort of hope and faith against AS and FoW, but now… Within 10minutes of the reset last night EB and most of the BLS were controlled by RoS they had more than 3 zergs/blobs in EB and at least one big one each bls i dont know how vabbi are feeling but from WSR point of view it is useless what we do, i would offer a solution but i know not any, I commanded about 2 hours after reset trying to figgure out a way to beat them and managed to take a keep against it with an awesome plan but one keeep being taken in another 10 mins is stupid :/ So really often i dont believe or blame it on lack of players but how RoS are in our matchup idk but this is going to be a week of people leaving WSR and hell for commanders, (considering there is only about 5 active commandr a day if we’re lucky)

Commander Castricius

i feel with you, i am from fissures of war and we have the same issue in green.
one week we fight vabbi + wsr and win by a wide margin, next week we are facing arborstone, dzagonur or similar and get crushed terribel (1 day after reset now 36k vs 12k vs 7k).

Well my server loyalty is not very high so i will join one of the middle servers

After A-net balance adjusted the ranking point months ago NA tier 8 balanced itself out. I guess EU t9 have not ask guild from some of the top server to train or help them out? I know of multiple guilds on NA that have transfer so commanders or 10-20man guilds just to train some of the lowest rank servers here FC and ET. Now both of those server finally after a year of being in t8 moved up to t7.

Since leagues are coming out I doubt many guild will transfer to help train your server now. Just seems like t9 in EU is a black hole for wvw. No one willing wvw on those servers.

Look at the 2 bottem tiers, I know exactly how you feel(FoW) we have fought many times against one another I think.
Both our tiers are dominated by the sheer numbers of players, the dzg zerg in our bolderlands was bigger than the players we had in EB.
We still had some decent fights, one time we even got the arb zerg with the dzg zerg at our doorstep and still managed to completly destroy both. But after that it seems that our server noticed the enormous amount of players against us and many just left :/

Last week was one of the closest matchups we had in a long time, WSR had the numbers just like fow and even vabbi had some nice larger groups. This week is just a skip week

I’m from ROS and have a large degree of sympathy for both WSR & Vabbi. It’s no fun being the dominant side (not for me anyway). There is little challenge when games are one sided. ROS has experienced being on the receiving end too at times, especially so over the last two months as some guilds moved to other servers and numbers dropped dramatically or when matched against servers up to 10 places higher. Over the last 3 days more & more people arrived on ROS – some new plus some guilds returning which has made a difference.

I had been thinking about this issue tonight. An idea popped into my head, if a servers home map is overrun and under 100% control by another side then it should off limits until the home side recapture the entire map. Maybe their keep on EB should become off limits too.
Hopefully one day someone will come up with an idea to balance these rounds out.
Another thought after my original post; it maybe an unpopular one but…perhaps the three servers (Vabbi, WRS & FOW) need to be merged into one?
We battled & over ran WRS keep about an hour ago which kind of stunned me as the WSR players were defending really well until they decided to try & chase our zerg out the bottom gate which was a mistake because ROS could prevent them from re-entering the keep.

Fun times in wvw…… Those bloodlust stacks are such a good idea for the lower tiers esp.

After killing a few RoS outside their spawn in Vabbi borderlands, a wild blob appeared, it was super effective.
