Yak’s Bend is among the highest worlds in terms of play hours and ranks gained, which is the primary metric we use to determine which worlds we lock each week.

Yak’s Bend has nowhere near the population that BG is fielding 24/7 right now and has for many weeks so I am not sure how your statement makes any logical sense.

Being locked right now, before the next update is a horrid thing to do.

Undo the Beta linkings – let the servers “play their way” again.

Come play on all three servers and then tell me that YB should be locked.

Didn’t YB just win T1?

No FC did YB + FC from T4 to win T1 match 2 different link times. YB – FC = T3/T4.

yak won T1 because jade and black gate gave up on tuesday.

yak won T1 because jade and black gate gave up on tuesday.

and because cloudfly wasnt on jq. now he’s back and yb is losing again.

Yaks Bend won because BG and JQ couldnt win, not because they gave up, JQ now has cloudfly back and others, so might be better, in theory should and BG is in another match

BTW this thread 2 months old, so why it was revived?

Didnt you just win your last match? Not as outnumbered as you think you are.
In case its lost upon you, there are meant to be red dots to fight.

Do you know we’re linked?

Links are bad. Links destroy WvW.

“yak won T1 because jade and black gate gave up on tuesday.”

This is very true.

Linking is a joke in any case – the “beta” test of linking needs to end.

Meh, everyone knows YB are siege humpers and can only win when they are outnumbering and have at least 6+ people. Its something Ive learned to deal with (that and their salty whisperers)

1v2’d a group today (was a pretty good fight), then 2v4’d another. Got 3 salty whispers from 3 diff people (I lagged at one point when I was getting condi bombed by a necro). I just take the salt and sprinkle it on my “idc fries” and disable half their siege for fun (when im passing someone using it ofc…even if im not engaged in the fight in question).

Just like BrainlessBlobGate, Spawn Camper Mag, and salty JQ, once you get them separated from their carebear zerg, they all die like the rest shrug

If only. Sadly, those days died when DK and most of the Commanders and long-timers that supported him drifted away at the beginning of this year. We seem to have few people left who know how to place siege effectively and even fewer who care to try. The culture of keeping most structures fully sieged throughout a match is long, long in the past and if there are any Commanders left who care about holding what they take for more than a single skirmish then they certainly aren’t playing in my time zones.

I can’t speak for NA primetime, which I never see, but for the other 16 hours of the day it’s mainly Commanders looking for fights, be that open field or over structures. The purpose of taking or defending structures in order to own them for the maximum amount of time throughout each match, which I have always taken to be the essential and intended mechanic of the game mode, appears to have fallen by the wayside and without that goal there is no particular reason to favor siege engines.

Although I’ll never move my YB account, having played there since beta, I am increasing playing my other accounts on servers that, these days, seem to have a much greater appreciation and understanding of siegecraft. YB may always retain the reputation of the “siege server” but unless something changes it will be a reputation based on ancient glories not present practices.

Well I can say one thing…its thanks to those “days of glory” from YB (from facing them as many times as I have) that I know how and where to effectively place certain siege whether its to defend or attack.

All those guys went to Maguuma

YB still has people on the server that knows where to place defensive siege, they just choose not to.

Yeah yak given up playing smart rather just fight lol. <— i still say to spam arrow cart everywhere but every commander rather just fight fair an die
