They do not go through some complex thought process that “Hmm, FA has a better shot a first place, so we better attack their tower on the other side of the map, and leave the Yak’s tower by our keep, alone.” It just doesn’t happen. It is not reality.

Erm, actually… that’s exactly what we were doing. Just today, even. Not that scenario, but that sort of forward-planning. It ended when one server got too greedy, so we had to push them a bit.

Frankly if servers aren’t thinking about where they’re going to be next week or who their most strategic target is long-term then they’re not really going to move anywhere but down.

If that Yak tower in your scenario was posing an immediate threat to our keep then obviously we’d take it and fortify it. However if it was just sitting there and it was strategically advantageous for us to leave it alone for an hour or two then we’d do exactly that. Obviously we’d monitor it, but we’d do exactly that.

That’s how wargaming works.

I am not trying to be insulting here, but if you’re ignoring an undefended tower next to your keep, because of the scoreboard, that is bad strategy.

WvW is simple: Get points for your server.

If you’re ignoring a tower, you’re giving up those points for that hour or two… all because of some overall strategy based on the scoreboard. If you want the scoreboard to go your way, you need to focus on your corner of the map first. If you need to hit supply camps outside of it to draw the enemy forces away… do it… but do not overextend to some random point just because of who holds it.

Adopt that simple strategy on every map, and you’ll do much better. It may seem simplistic, but it is reality.

If you are staring at the leaderboard and scoreboard, and trying to figure out which server to focus on? While you’re focusing on that one server, the other two are going to be attacking whoever is the easiest target. So if you’re completely ignoring one opponent on a map, of course they’re going to beat you. It is just poor strategy. You cannot focus one server in this game and hope to win.

Ironically, TC does not worry about who they’re facing next week. We do not tunnel vision one enemy based on the scoreboard. And we’re not moving down.

I just get tired of hearing about alliances or people focusing specific servers. For 99% of the people out there, it does not happen. There is no ultimate strategy that every guild on each server follows. People go out there, and the kill the enemy.

Except that we do in fact do this. All of the time. If Anzalia Pass isn’t a threat to Stonemist Castle right just now, then we’re not going to do anything more than maybe treb it a little. If Blue is giving us problems then we’re going to let Anzalia stew for a bit while we jump on Durios or Quentin instead.

You soften targets up for later while taking what’s important now. That’s sort of the point of long-term planning. You know, to plan long term.

We attack who attacks us first, yes, but we don’t attack blindly and mindlessly. THAT’S bad strategy. There is a difference between choosing an opponent and giving up points. The two are separate things. We can choose our opponent and crush them both too. We just need to ensure that we crush one a little bit more than the other in that case.

You are acting as though all I care about is the scoreboard, and you would be wrong for assuming so. You are assuming that I would rather attack a random target in bumblekitten nowhere for no reason other than its current color, and you would also be wrong. Controlling the map 100% of the time 24/7 is an unreasonable goal — it is tactically and strategically advantageous to allow the enemy to retain objectives sometimes. Don’t be so black and white.

That was a long quote >.>

I think people tend to forget that the different maps have different regular icons and players and therefore utilise different playstyles.

Provided certain people are online, EB works on Kerithlan’s philosophy, which is my philosophy, which is the philosophy slowly developed over several months by the regular players.

The BL’s probably run on a different philosophy. I wouldn’t know, I don’t play there. But ‘take and hold’ is a far more viable strategy in the BL’s than it is in EB. Most of your points gains come from the BL’s, whereas outside of drastic population imbalance, holding anything in EB for more than an hour beyond your home territory and SM is fairly unlikely. EB is more about weakening your opponents while remaining strong yourself, so that ‘you’ can dictate the ebb and flow of battle.

Great fights tonight on YaksBL.

We almost had your garrison, but the update screwed us over. By the time we came back the Benders had made it back and were defending in force….TC came in to harass also.

Lots of fun was had after 9pm also, as we pushed on TC a bit in YaksBL. Took a tower and then tried to ninja the keep as the Benders had trebbed down the wall for us from Garrison.

Wonderful threesome inside the keep. We finally got sandwiched by TC.

We did have a visitor with us tonight.

He tagged along with us for a bit, and strangely enough wherever we went BLNT showed up to the same spot eventually….WHAT A STRANGE COINCIDENCE!!

Sooo we had to hide, have our commander turn off his title and then we all waypointed. That seemed to confuse him a bit lol….

Interesting, I just peeked at the login screen and TC, FA and YB all appear as full servers. Congrats FA and YB for joining us in the full server club!

LOL by that measure, if YB is full then SBI must be colossal.

Or ANet could be lowering the bar again.

Server population update~!

Well the last 2-3 weeks hasn’t been so bad for FA
I’ve seen more defensive oriented activities now (defense on Durios and QL still need some working on admittedly)
We still have supplies being taken from keeps that are (200/550) problem sadly.

juicifruitz.6251:

The simple fact is on the whole YB needs to alot more numbers for this Tier, as when numbers in fights are relitively equal we generally come out on top of most of the fights.

That’s strange. It’s been my usual experience in the last three weeks that when not behind siege weapons in a keep, YB gets wiped more times than not in a straight up fight.

^That has been my experience as well. Thought it was a bit silly to see them post that a lot on the forums, but didn’t bother responding. Ironically, the only times they’ve wiped us is when they have more numbers. When the numbers are even, they don’t seem that different than say Darkhaven. I really like Maguuma since they did some interesting stuff with lower numbers when we fought them.

Awesome fun in YBBL tonight. Tip’o’the hat to YB and FA.

/kneel

I had a lot of fun on my little asura ele tonight. First, in FABL we fought back and forth outside our spawn up to the keep north of there, green-something. it’s late and my mind is tired.

I jumped over to EB to see how things were going there. Got in some decent battles once again. Fun times all around.

I handed out my share a badges tonight, as usual

sadly, I won’t be on for the finish of this one or the start of next weeks matchup. I’m having my gallbladder taken out and will not be up to playing for a few days.

/salute to FA and YB. You both are able to put up some good fights (my opinion, of course).

Looks like next T3 matchup is gonna be TC, FA and CD. That is unless YB and TC decide to double team FA for the rest of the match-up, but it looks like that’s stopped

It’s interesting the perspectives that we have, guess alot of it depends on the the when that the fights take place, or perhaps where the fights take place. Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying YB always comes out on top, just in my experiance it is more times than not.

Either way as long as the fights stay good we’re all having fun

Awesome fight at Green Lake tonight.

I was there. I was hoping to add to the pressure being put on FA. For hours we fought for the tower at Green Lake, not sure we ever got it. Epic.

Not on my watch you didn’t. I logged off at 10:30 CST and we still held it. We considered letting it fall about then because the tower bugged out during the big fight. When you guys had both walls down and the door open, the worker died in the wall. Once we drove you out and repaired the wall, the worker was dead in the wall and we couldn’t upgrade it.

Oh I’m positive the where and when play a large part in it. With 4 WVW maps to choose from and 24 hours in the day, things can happen very different from player to player.

Hopefully we’ll come head to head, sounds like it would be a blast. You can’t miss me, I’m the Mesmer that looks like a Necro, in black and red, spouting out Twilight wielding clones all over the battlefield!

Good luck out there and fight on!

^ what he said. I got my gallbladder removed in March, and the only way I was on the computer was when I was sitting in a really comfy reclining chair with my laptop in a spot where it wasn’t hurting my stomach.

And with that said, good fight YB and FA, keep up the good work

Awesome fight at Green Lake tonight.

It was surreal. TC pushed wave after wave after wave of people. We kept running supplies to rebuild siege, every time expecting to come back to a green tower. They never got it.

I always knew TC was a RP server, last night they decided to RP Stalingrad.

Also /cheers at whoever decided to escort dolyiak morphed into baby quaggan (sp?) forms. Whole team orderly following it as quaggans. We were laughing so hard it was hard to fight.

Right now, it looks like Yak’s might end up in T4. In any case, it is going to come down to the wire like last week’s very small difference between FA & Yak’s scores.

I’m actually more interested in what’s going on between YB and FA than I am my own server right now becuase it’s just so close! I love those nail-biting finishes!

TC dictates who finishes 2nd….it will be as close as they want to keep it.

Yup. Early in the week TC saw FA as the bigger threat, Yaks pulled out to a fair lead for 2nd. Then last few days TC shifted to YB, while FA held blue in their own map most of that time, suddenly FA has leaped into 2nd. Just look where the green dots are on the update maps.

It is why this tier has gotten kind of stale, unless you are happy just to find some good fights. Likely it will be the exact same dynamic next week when CD moves up.

YB has the tactics and organization for 3rd tier but manpower that belongs in the 4th tier. Unfortunately, the other t4 servers can’t match our discipline and we will likely roll them.

Not to sound like a blow-hard, but at this point, nobody is the bigger threat to TC, I can’t speak for the rest of the server, but a lot of the people I usually roll with have been concentrating in YBBL this week because as you say, it’s getting quite stale now and some of us are just out looking for skirmishes because the main is getting pretty boring – I think we can all agree that 3 weeks running of the same match up has really lost its charm, no disrespect to any of the 3 servers involved.

ykyk.2740:

Or we take our kitten handing in tier-2 and hope we learn something out of it

I’m pretty comfortable with this, I think we have a lot to learn to keep up with the higher tiers and even if they beat us back to T3, I think we have a few important lessons to learn before we’re ready.

Hah! Usually they’re RPing “save the supply camp” with 400 pievces of siege!

A wild UPDATE appeared!

Looks like Saradon WarChild is the commander for FA in EB at this time. Good job securing our third of the map.

Another fun night of small-group gameplay on all three borderlands!

Highlight of the night was trying to take back Hero’s Lodge on the TC borderland from a group of hyper-determined Yak’s defending it. In the past I had scoffed at the notion of “Yak’s defending really well.” I’d seen no evidence of any better (or worse) defense that FA puts up. Last night I witnessed this first hand.

For those drawing a small blank on which camp is Hero’s Lodge, it is the south supply camp on the TC BL map. The Yak’s Bend spawn point is just to the east, and they have a safe route through their west entrance that drops them out almost on top of the windmill. Close enough for them to reinforce as necessary.

I saw in /team that a group of Yak’s had taken Hero’s and were defending it with siege. “No problem,” I thought. “I’ve got two other people with me, we should be able to take the 6 reported Yaks. Blow them off the siege, and then burst ’em down one at a time.” It didn’t work out that way.

The defenders were all part of the same guild: srCm. I apologize profusely if I butchered the ticker, but that’s as close as I can recall without looking at the screenshots back on my home computer. They had setup two arrow carts and two ballistae in nice commanding locations with great line of sight. As soon as a random TCer popped his head out from behind the stacks of hay, the ballistae instagibbed him. Arrow carts caused another 1-2 randoms to scatter.

My small group of three (counting myself) did the best we could against the dug in location. Ride the Lightning to the siege, blow the first guy off. Earthquake to knock the second one off. Damage, damage, “holy crap run away.” I was not expecting the coordinated defense effort. Your guys were kitted out and spec’d well. Every time I attempted to put appreciable damage on your siege workers, I’d get blown back by the Engineer or chain CC’d by the warrior. I even died once down by the water as your rabid defenders saw the opportunity to take the fight to the attackers.

We regrouped and put the call out in /team that “Hey, 4 of us aren’t going to be able to take this camp from Yak’s. There are 6+ of them and they are dug in. Send 3-4 more please.” I wanted a good even fight. Eight of us against six Yak’s with siege sounded like it could be a lot of fun. Unfortunately, we summoned the TC Zerg Monster. On my way back to the camp for another go up popped the gold credit for contribution. We swung away to get some cheap quick badges from the jump puzzle.

Finished with the jump puzzle, the call went out again in /team that “The Yak’s guys are back and assaulting HL again!” My group was at six, but 4 of them were in the northern part of the map. I was at the ruins with one other, and rushed to try and hold it until others could arrive. I showed up just as the capture circle appeared. I’d been hoping for guard/claimer support in dealing with the 6+ Benders. No dice.

To be clear: I’m no daphoenix. My Ele started as an alt, and only recently hit 80. He’s geared out in Rares, not Exotics. They aren’t the right rares (I have Knight’s right now), but I’m holding off changing until I can get the P/V/T exotics. As a result, I’m not in the position to take on 6-9 enemies all at the same time. I can, however, kite them.

I taunted them a few times with the intent of them chasing me, and boy did they (after the camp was capped). Starting at HL they chased me up to the ruins, back down from the ruins, back up to the ruins again, through the river, back through the ruins, and on towards the closest tower to the NE. I’d /laugh or /dance from time to time, desperately hoping they’d keep up the chase. The tall Norn warrior blew his bull’s rush, frenzy, 100B combo four separate times during the pursuit, dealinkittenage each time due to timed mistforms. Frustration must have been mounting, but I did not want them to disengage. All because my team was saying in /party “Four minutes out…three minutes out…two minutes out….one minute out…ten seconds out…”

Grouped us six strong, we dismantled the very strung out 6-8 pursuers. Killed four, stomped four. Two I believe ALT-F4’d as we were positive they were in combat but disappeared, never to be seen again. To be fair, though, they might somehow have avoided all damage over a protracted period of time and recalled to their WP instead.

Regardless, it was a great 20-25 minutes of fun that srCm (again, sorry if the ticker is incorrect) provided. Great defense! Work a bit on your pursuit tactics, though. You guys got horribly split as some were faster than others, which allowed an even number of allies to cut you to pieces.

Looks like FA will be staying in this tier next week. Nice one TC. You’ve helped them immensely. TC diffidently has the population for tier 3 and they have great coverage overall. But just wait till CD which has a large force, probably double the amount of YB and FA which has a great offence starts to double team your BL. What you have done to help FA is not strategic for booking a spot in tier 2 but more of a life placement as to staying in tier 3. That is not saying that you will lose next week but your elevation increase will not be a linear line but a quadratic, you will reach your point and start decreasing hypothetically speaking. Last 2 weeks have been easy for you guys as YB strategically would attack FA more often then it would attack TC. I for one agreed always with attacking FA to bring down their rank. I wish you all good luck and a good fight. I for one am sick of this tier and cant wait to get the servers moral back up.

Good luck to all in tier 3.

Don’t think they haven’t been trying to take over our BL. We’ve just been making the pain threshold high. If you’re going to come into FAB and take it, you’re going to pay the iron price for the ground you gain.

+1

I and many many others spent hours last night trying to burn down FA’s house. In fact we punched two holes in their wall and knocked the door down and still could not make it up the stairs. FA held us back.

It really is that simple.

Which is why i have so enjoyed these couple of weeks…. no matter the score there are no easy battles.

Good fight FA. Good fight YB.

If the next week proceeds as this week has, with IoJ losing 40 points and TC gaining 30, IoJ and TC will switch places, with TC going to tier 2 and IoJ going to tier 3.

I imagine TC, which has a large population but a lot of more casual oriented players, would get massacred in tier 2, and I imagine IoJ would massacre those of us left in tier 3 even harder than TC does.

just saying tc!if u really want me to respect u stop using the exploit into hills!thats just low using an exploit into inner hills only because u couldnt take it earlier! and i know its not all your server but the 5 tc exploiting their way into hills right now are just bad players that can not accomplish anything the way its supposed to be!and ill report u everytime u come in!

and btw i really enjoyed the fight yesterday at QL with TC u guys were ver hard to fight off and i like fights that are fair but go on for a while! so please tell the ones in your server trying to cheat that this makes your server look very very bad!

Just wanted to say that was an epic 3 way fight in the EB JP just now. Who thought JP would be as fought over as Towers..xD

Score update.

Thank’s to all the yak’ers that entertained me this morning in your borderland, was a hoot.

I know, I ask every afternoon, but can we get a score/map update please? I’ll make it worth someones time. ;]

As well last night in FABL ULTD had a blast with you TC guys. Greenlake was a warzone for hours. So much fun.

Us: 144,781 +230
Them: 137,138 +195
Them: 233,265 +275

I am really looking forward to next week. FA and CD both hate us from prior matches so this should be interesting.

No invisible barrier, rather a Bane of Leeching, that eats 10 character levels every time they pass through it.

I would like to communicate with the leadership of PiNK / The Silent Council [TSC].
This was the fourth time we killed people outside our lord room, the outer keep has not been breached for 24 hours+, the inner keep has not been breached for 48 hours+
Several defenders are now standing at our waypoint, watching these TC players jump down from the terrain that runs along the edge of map from your spawn.
Please contact me via PM/ingame mail.

Wow, this is a very lame tactic and needs to be addressed by AN. That’s certainly not intended by the game design.

What is lame is that Anet hasnt fixed this well known, since beta, terrain glitch. How hard is it to put up an invisible barrier?

No invisible barrier, rather a Bane of Leeching, that eats 10 character levels every time they pass through it.

That is an even better idea! Maybe on the other side you put one of those slippery slopes so they keep falling back through every time.

Interesting, I just peeked at the login screen and TC, FA and YB all appear as full servers. Congrats FA and YB for joining us in the full server club!

LOL by that measure, if YB is full then SBI must be colossal.

Or ANet could be lowering the bar again.

Server population update~!

You know that just shows the population at that time. Do that again during off-peak hours and the results will be different.

So my post calling it a lame tactic was removed for being an infraction…double you tea eff.

In all my years of gaming, I have NEVER seen a more moderated forum. It’s worse than IGN back in the late 90’s.

I’ll patiently await my infraction notice.

after all the drama and stuff that has been said in this forum, I am not surprised that it is being heavily monitored

Agreed. Anet is overzealous and random in their moderation efforts.

More likely, you hit a sore spot with a particular moderator. The mod uses that tactic, so you get modded for making them mad.

They don’t seem to use a consistent set of rules, with some fairly personal attacks/offensive language allowed, and the simple mention of a sore spot (ascended gear anyone) gets moderated to oblivion.

I think we all just need more kitten. Literally, kitten. I mean who doesn’t want more kitten?

Seriously though, all the drama and silly crap aside, this week was as much fun as the previous. Looking forward to CD throwing some hate into the mix. Gonna be a blast. Cheers.

I’m convinced there’s some sort of lottery system handing out infractions. lol

And I agree with Daedalus. Can’t wait for the next matchup.

I am looking forward to a different match up next week, this one is very stale.
