Making the assumption there are going to be Gold, Silver and Bronze leagues (I don’ t think they have announced that yet), Silver is completely up in the air. Mag could drop out of Gold given its current losses. Scary enough that might put CD into gold.
YB has historically had a massive PvE turnout and they have always managed to forge them into one of the best defensive servers in the game. Not sure if that is still true though.
Bronze may be BP or NS depending on how the movement hits.
Going to come down to the wire but without free transfers (not sure if they are doing that this time around), decent rewards for losing servers and a short season 3 we may not see massive server stacking like previous seasons.

That might be true for us, but we never received too guilds prior to any season and do not want to because that would give us the title of bandwagon. We all know what bandwagoning leads to (Kain, SBI, HoD, etc). I can’t order you, but I will request you to keep YB out of your posts for stacking server, this is the 2nd post mentioning YB. Q.Q
Regarding thread, don’t bandwagon. Be there for your server in the good and the bad times.

YB with a large active population. Imagine the open field guilds being backed by all those arrow carts…we’re talking T1 contention.
This is what I have been talking about for better part of a year, the final nightmare that will snuff out WvW for all but casuals and siege users.
YB won’t bring about the apocalypse….They are the apocalypse

Idk what you’re talking about since YB has a large active population in WvW? Maybe if you count our PvE base, but definitely not WvW’ers. Its some NA players who sleeps very little and fight during OCX/SEA.
We hardly see queues on reset night (maybe for 10 mins), that’s it.
Seriously, T1? LOL

I wonder where you see 80 players.
I played almost daily last month and few times i saw 30.
Unless you attack home garrison or similar targets, in that case everyone from pve etc comes to defend.
GW2 balance:
A PvE player is supposed to avoid a 1-2 second 1 shotting aoe.
A WWW player is considered uncapable of avoiding a 5,75 second aoe for half his health.

It seems every server has players who greatly overestimate the number of enemy players. Sometimes I have heard enemy players comment: “We just beat 60-70+ Deso PuGs”, when we had 30 people on TeamSpeak, many of them scouts and not on the tag. Thus the 30 Deso players become 60+ in the eyes of the enemy.
Deso has now had low numbers outside the peak hours. When you are defending with just 5-20 against enemy of 30, the enemy blob feels big. Deso now has a lot of WvWvW guilds and we run using split team tactics, not just one mono blob. We are also accepting and training new commanders. I would argue that SFR nowadays has the most frequent big blobs, but every server has their own style.
I think it is smart to have a rest now. When the Fall Tournament begins, then we will see the real numbers.

If you consider 20 players blob maybe, but last weeks opponent servers outnumbered SFR zergs by 2-3 to 1.
Both kodash and deso.
Have screens.
But i have to say i only speaks about borders.
Its likely EB could have huge blobs i almost never play in EB so i can’t say.

I heard things sfr already have 50 men q everywhere and still recruiting
Deso always have 3-4 guild on the map if we have q so its hard to see 30+ deso players on one spot and most guilds only run with 15-20 men. GH have 25-30 players if raiding and we start gmt 18 and finish 21.
EB is a totaly diferent thing ofc… With a lot of open raid and Serial Clicker’s pink raids.
Deso is a guild based server sometimes no q anywhere in peak hours but we have a lot pve players whos will play in the league
I heard things sfr already have 50 men q everywhere and still recruiting
Max queue i saw Yesterday on a BL (Yesterday played a lot) was 7 (for 15 min then went back to 0).
Other 3 had no queue.
Previous week there was almost no queue even in EB.
SFR has short queues. everywhere but EB in prime time.
I don’t see a 50 queue in a BL since 1st week of second WWW tournament.
Obviously queues will change when WWW starts. and drop a week later.
Only exception is a couple hours after resets.

As a SFR WvW occasional player (I’m normally only on for daily achievements; i.e. 20-60 mins/day)I can confirm that SFR queues are normally minimal. Peak time resets may see queues of 20-50 but for the rest of the week they are all zero with the exception of peak period SFR Borderlands and EB which hit queues of 10-30.
Saying that, the queues were higher (well over 100 for EB peak periods)during the last WvW Season Tournament until it was clear that SFR would take 1st place, and most had completed all the achievements, at which point point the queues disappeared entirely.

The only place on SFR that has a que is ebg.
As for recruiting… we are only actively recruiting ONE NA based guild of about 20 players… so that we have a bit more organisation between 3am-5am GMT when Deso have their 60+ garri and ebg keep golem rush. At the moment we have 15 people fighting ROCK, GH, and pugs.
Even with a single NA guild we will be outnumbered against the Deso night cap… but we don’t need equal or more numbers to beat Deso during the night… 15 of us can hold garrison against 60+ Deso with omegas… 35 of us can hold the borderland and ebg.

So 15 hold the Garrison and the other 35 get a 500 tick going at 3am for 3 hrs?? Against 60+ Deso players?? And at 3am Deso were ticking on 10 points, with 60+ players? Yeah righto
