Guild Wars 2

Rumor has it that FA lost Dawn to another server. Can’t see them leaving FA but anything is possible.

If FA lost Dawn, its gonna be a huge blow and a real game changer.

DAWN is on Maguuma.

They will be missed.

FA is having an implosion like everyone has expected them to have for the past 9 months or so. Bandwagons pretty much always break eventually.

Pretty sure FA is barely showing up this week due to Anet’s joke. DAWN has moved to Mag. There were other rumors like Munt xferring off but they reformed into another guild ER AFAIK.

In this time of need of your own server, pretty funny how you transferred off FA instead of staying and helping your servermates.

Yak’s Bend is the new bandwagon, with several large T1 guilds making the move for a push to T1. Even if DAWN didn’t leave, it would not have changed what is going to be happening now to T2.

Sometimes players need a change. It’s part of the reason why those T1 guilds are moving to YB, with the tiers being locked, there is no change without population movement.

Altho I don’t see anyone moving to Underworld! Plenty of room here for all you tier1 guilds!
Isn’t it an exiting challenge? Come save the last server and show how awesome your guild is : D

Shameless advertisement is shameless

Dawn hasn’t been on FA all that long, they use to be HG and something else before that. The GL changes guild tags and severs all the time. Wasn’t all that big of a guild and all the FA natives that I know didn’t transfer.

I suggest you transfer up to a different server, DiscoJacen. The unfortunate thing about the population imbalance is that you’re going to either be transferring around servers a few times in your life or you’re going to be sitting on a dead server that everyone else transferred away from.

I’ve personally transferred 8 times in the past 3 years I believe. I’m not pained by it at all, I go where the fun fights are.

Also as a side note to this, this is also the reason I transferred from FA to Maguuma months ago. The fights became negative fun there, Yaks Bend ruined tier 2 by sitting on siege all the time. I would go get in to a 1v1 and no one would fight unless they were 10 feet away from a door they could run in to. Then, I’d be fighting them and some scrub would get on an AC to interrupt my 1v1 lol. I’ve had this happen where I was in 2v1 situations, already out numbed, then some scrub gets on an AC to turn it in to a 3v1+ AC.. Tier 2 is cancer.

I only left FA because a friend of mine wanted to WvW together. Spent a Week trying to get on FA, Finally gave up and we both went to YB. Sooner or later servers implode. FA will bounce back.

I also found YB is more active when I play the most which is late at night, super early in the morning. FA was simply dead that time of day. Yea, I figured FA took a break during Karma week. Be interesting to see how it goes over the next few weeks.

Yea, I go where the fun fights are. From what I have seen, YB is out fighting and not camping as much as I thought they did. Heck, they don’t really use teamspeak.

I will stay put, but like someone else said, I will go where the fun fights seem to be. So far YB is working for me, things change, I will change servers again, or buy a second account. Its just that simple. A second account is something I been thinking about doing for awhile. Go to T3 or T4 on it. Could be wrong, but YB does not want T1, they dont have the players. Even on reset night while getting into EB is tough, the other BL are wide open to play.

Lol all I got from this was “I went to the stacked server to fight smaller servers and karma train.”

/shrug

Some people define “action” as outnumbering the opponent. Others define it as being outnumbered.

No I did not go to YB because I thought they were gonna be the top in T2. Honestly, I went because me and my friend could both join, and I had plans to really troll them for camping, and building AC’s. I simply have not seen it. I went so me and my friend could run around together and take camps.

I found it funny, the way we complained about YB while on FA about seige. They complain about FA “hacking” or cheating. So yea, every server is gonna accuse the other of doing this or that. Simply trash talking. Nothing personal. Just a silly game.

The groups I ran with even found it funny. They knew I was from FA. When we come across something defended and seiged up, I would say something snarky like “Man YB chill with the ac fire”. O wait….never mind.

I just check, even during the day while everyone should be at work, FA is showing full while yb is showing high volume. So I guess the transfers from FA and the Transfers to yb have either yet not happened yet, or never gonna happen.

The grass is always greener on the #1 NA skill server. If Mag can get some Oceanic guilds, they’ll be able to compete with T1.

FA opens up to Very High during SEA and early NA. We’ve had a few good-sized guilds transfer to FA within the past two weeks.

Totally.. Since Maguuma generally only queues 3 maps during reset (all very small queues) and generally 1 map during NA prime every other day of the week. If you think Maguuma has to coverage in NA, SEA or OCX to come close to Tier 2 coverage, you’re mistaken. We may have tier 2 EU coverage though when Xushin or Nacho is on lol.

Typical yb…always claiming fa hacks. It’s s old and annoying. Get over it yb.

In b4 lock. Take what Tym.3791 said in context and laughed about. Ty and good day…

The only thing I will say is if you have the opportunity to interact with people from your “most hated server”, you will find most of them are extremely nice and do the verbal eye roll when the pvf type stuff is mentioned.

And I am slow to change. I still have a sticky note to remind me I am supposed to hate TC forever. I lose track easily.

+1 – and most is closer to 95% not 51%……

My guild transferred to YB because we wanted to. I could never have foreseen myself leaving JQ but alas, guild loyalty trumps server loyalty. And so far, it looks like YB has been a great choice. Friendly and well-rounded community.

It’s 2015 people. Everyone complains. Go with your friends and you will have fun.

Everyone bandwagoned to YB to push them to T1.

Other than that…………………….. Golems.

sephiroth.4217:

The only way for YB to get into T1 is to join TC and push BG out the bottom, then transfer back to YB. But Golem Rush week made that even harder, since BG is the only server that didn’t take a break, thus allowing them 1st place.

I still remember when tym was badmouthing YB on FA map chat when I was playing on my FA alt…

The answer is simple tym, FA lost a few guilds and YB gained a few, which made the matchup more even overall.

Bandwagoners leave because their side is no longer face rolling the opposition.

Fairweathers went back to PvE because their side is no longer face rolling the opposition.

So now the matchup is more in YB’s favour due to the numbers advantage. This brings more bandwagoners to YB and brings out all their fairweathers so they gain an even bigger numbers advantage.

Whatever your reasons are for leaving, whether you’re a bandwagoner or truly just wanted to play with your friend, people like you leave an already weak TZ in order to prop up the opposing server’s already strong TZ. Making things even more unbalanced, which then triggers more fairweathers/bandwagoners to leave.

The ebb and flow of WvW servers. Plenty of servers went through it before, many more will continue to be re-shaped.

You forgot the third and fourth reasons:

- Players get bored of the same opponents.
- Players take breaks from the game.

FA is sending a Trojan Yak as a gift to t1. It’s so big they have to break down part of the wall to fit it through.

While not on this forum. Of course I am gonna trash talk FA while on YB. Same as I trash talked YB while on FA. Just like playing a game of basketball. You trash talk, then laugh about it after the game.

I honestly don’t see anything changing. In time, FA will be top dog again in T2 and YB will fade to number two. Both servers will accuse the other of this and that. Its just the nature of the game.

See you all on the killing fields.

You have the perspective of someone who has played honestly on different servers. Do not expect those who have only played on one server to understand it. I certainly don’t.

I think FA and SOS should intentionally tank hard over the next few weeks to let YB push in to T1. That might actually make T2 fun again if Yaks Bend is out of it.

FA not top T2 anymore? Looks like I’ll have to jump back into WvW. Never really liked it when FA was a top of tier server anyway.

Josh XT.6053:

Too much coverage difference. Any T1 server would roflstomp in T2, and YB would be roflstomp’ed in T1. Next week, everything would be back to the way it was before.

Huge NA wouldn’t do any good to YB in T1.

FA was top of T3 whenever it dropped out of T2 like in Season 1, post-Season 2, and post-Season 3.

Not sure what server you’re on or if you’ve seen T2 recently or not. FA had bigger queues at just about all times than T1 for months until it started bleeding out guilds. You might also not be paying much attention since YB just got a massive amount of transfers in from BG (4 or 5 guilds from what I hear), then TW from JQ and I think 1 from TC as well.

I’m kind of interested to see this next couple weeks outcomes. If YB gets to push hard enough, they could be T1 in a matter of a month or less depending on how hard they hit FA and SOS. Also depending on how hard BG gets hit from JQ and TC since they just lost so many guilds.

Point was not top of t2 anymore (not t3). Now once, but for several months, is quite different than a one-off 1 or 2 time appearance.

But you don’t care anyway right…..

The atmosphere on FA went south fast in my opinion. It often does on bandwagon servers when the PvP try hard elite move in all at once. E.g. TC before T1.

The point was more general: “a top of tier”.

The community on FA was pretty good, it wasn’t even the bandwagoners that turned it more toxic. It was people like Tyrion who wanted everyone to worship him for having no life and running a tag 18 hours a day every day to hold their place in T2. While I am glad he did it, no one forced him to lol. It definitely did not give him any rights to treat people like crap and become an elitist jerk to people. I liked him before he started acting like that.

Also small guilds (like mine) started being ignored and excluded in the community, which ultimately led to me leaving to go to a server that appreciates us and what we do. That toxicity did not come from the bandwagoners, it was from the people who were already around before the bandwagon became a big thing.

Josh XT.6053:

The Fort Aspenwood forum community has an long-standing policy on guild size (going back to 2012) for obtaining access to the Warzone sub-forum. Smaller sized guilds have been given access by consensus based on their leadership activities in-game. Among the small guilds that currently have access are Echo, FTF, CREW, PACT, THUG, WB, WS, and Drgn. There are additional small guilds who would be given access if they requested it, such as CC and DOJO, but the leadership in those guilds has never felt excluded nor unappreciated for lack of access.

Additionally, this player’s main guild had transferred to Maguuma and he admitted to not playing very much on FA during the mini-bandwagon period. Being excluded was a self-imposed event. XT was appreciated by quite a few in the community when they were playing on FA and they’d be welcomed back.

I’m not them.

Either way, it was a good move for my guild and a breath of fresh air to be back on a server where the roaming was great again and people didn’t need 3+ people and AC’s to fight 2 people lol. Being excluded wasn’t the only reason, but it was the nail in the coffin.

We’re much happier on Maguuma, I still play my FA account from time to time, but every time I do, Yaks Bend reminds me of why I stopped roaming on FA.

I’m glad you guys are enjoying it. You guys helped stabilize T3 and gave players greater options for WvW.

Both YB and FA love siege. Only one server has come out of the closet about this love though.

I am a Retierd pugmmander for over 6 months now ^^ you are talking about my game play of 1-2 years ago ^^ and i dont think that when you was in FA i ever played 18hrs mostly was around 10-12hrs ^^ i was starting to stop my history as a pugmmander.

You know me at the end of my road as a pugmmander ^^ At this right moment i just do GvG and Guild raid for 2-4hrs and log off from game.

I think you are just salty Because you was one of the few people that want to push FA to T1.

And i was the only one against that idea, i even got “ban” from FA forums for been to much aggresive in express that T1 is not the place for FA ^^.

At the end FA decline the idea of T1, i got un-ban and get some apologizes, because i did nothing bad ^^ I was just expressing my negativity over the T1 idea. FA knows how passionate i can be.

People leaving FA is there choices ^^ FA was fine before them and is FA after them ^^

FA community ( the old players and new core) are goin to work together once again if the server is in big danger, right now there no rush for any movement ^^

YB is goin to win more numbers and more guilds from T1 and T3 are goin to transfer there, theres 1 magumma guild and 1 sbi guild like movin to YB next week.

YB need to win more PPT, the only way for FA to be in danger is if a T3 server (mag-sbi-cd) want to push to T2. Even like that T3 server are 200 000 points behind any T2 server.

YB just need 120 000 points to be in T1, is more possible that YB hits T1, that any T3 server can hit T2.

Snakebyte.2804:

I’ll correct you on this, FA does not love siege. FA uses siege because that is the only way to compete with YB siege. SoS does it too because of YB.

FA is still here and kickin’ When Golem night hit…we went in…seen the Ktrain that is was… and most within in an hour or three ended up headin out to EoTM to goof around. We gave this week to the golem lovers. Now its reset time and we are excited to see how it goes.
And Tyrion doesn’t put in many hours at all….You wanna see hours played?….Check out DK from YB. That man will put in days of commanding in WvW.

Listening to Tyrion pugmanding on TS was a blast, had to mute a few times but he was funny as hell. And the bottom line, he is a good driver.

Tyrion is a charismatic man. I had been playing on my FA alt for months, and that man always motivate me, even when I’m half-falling asleep from getting my bag full too many times. He motivates me to fight and stay awake when I’m falling asleep! Great guy and insane speed talk. How does he do it? I don’t know, but he’s a dam good commander!

Oh, ya, recently I transferred my main to FA from BG. T1 is rigged and BG rig its all the time just to keep JQ+TC in their place because no other servers can survive up there. It’s boring in T1 as well as some scrub guilds, just to name 1, GoF, my god, they are so bad and needing more guilds just to back their fights up, so bad in guild missions I had to laugh so hard. $10 is cheap
