T3 is so screwed up I wish maguuma would take first and it was a more even match up. I just like maguuma. :P
??? It is very balanced……. Probably one of the most balanced tiers.
Although I must admit, how Kain is still holding a lead still is blowing my mind. Looks like that time in T2 really benefited our WvW players to hold out this well so undermanned.
Once all those guilds left I was convinced we were destined for T4/5.
gogo Kain, fight till the bitter end.

We took first last week, and likely will this week. Kain loses a lot of people after the weekend for some reason.

And with some of us NA guys staying up later each week (I honestly think we are going to turn into the group that tries to hold off land before bony gets on, just maybe). But I agree that kain seems to lose a lot after weekends and we tend to have a lower turnout on reset nights and the weekends.

Not exactly…
We know we have a decreased playerbase that seems to have lost morale, weekends or during the week. Some of KN’s WvW guilds are very well aware that we need to stay up late hours of the night when we can to take a nice lead. Trust me, those of us NA guilds arent putting in this extra time for fun, we are very well aware of our servers’ situation. We lack coverage all around the clock, we just work hard and long hours when we can, becuase the Yaks and Mags outnumber us. Not neccasarily outmanned, but KN does seem to have a T4 playerbase performing like T2.
An example was lastnight in EB, both Yaks and Mags who were in EB know what im talking about lol.

Your reset night turnout was fine. On the other hand we didn’t even have enough people to go on all 4 borderlands at reset. We had nobody on Yak BL at all
Kain is just a relatively low pop server atm and that shows throughout the week when the core players aren’t always available any more.
That’s cause KN has a higher number of ppl with jobs, school, etc. A lot of us have RL stuff through the week. Though, I do know we have some putting in a lot of WvW time just to keep green in our BL or EB.
Every time someone posts this argument it blows my mind at how stupid it is. What horrid logic.
KN and YB lose after the weekend because their weekend warriors go back to PvE. Plain and simple. Mag’s WvW population stays the same throughout the week. ME, D|ERP, WaR, DFND, PYRO, NOVA, etc… all field similar numbers each and every day of the week. We don’t have an inflated weekend presence, and we don’t really have that many fairweathers. That’s why we always lose on the weekends and pull ahead during the week.

I stand corrected then. Though, as I said, we have ppl putting in long hours just to keep stuff green (and thus maintain minimal PPT). I’ve seen some shrinkage of PvE pop too.

If Kaineng’s NA and SEA can switch the time they play, this match up will be perfect for all 3 servers.
All of our WvW only guilds are gone. We are down to 1 NA guild and we have to always jump to KN BL and EB all the time. If we can have 1 more guild that can go to Mag and Yaks BL we can definitely give you guys a better fight during primetime.
I am still happy with our performance. Maguuma will take over soon unless the PvE players that played on reset comes back and give extra hours in WvW.

Maybe, but our PvE pop is less than it used to be, and quite a few of the ones left are casuals who tend toward the lower lvl zones. The new Molten Facility has also affected our WvW coverage since ppl are running that before it gets shut down. Our WvW core is simply too small right now to keep up with Mag through the week, though we are trying as best as we can. Right now, it looks like Mag will pass us tomorrow (Wed.) just as they did last week (also Wed).

We didn’t lose ppl. We just have very few Europeon players. That’s by far our weakest time zone. In the weekends we can play overtime to cover it. But in the weekdays everyone got work and school so we lost everything to pvdoor. That’s costing us a lot of points. >_>
No worries though. The fights are fun and that’s good enough for me. Tier 4 population with tier 2 skills, that’s how we roll.

The problem I have found with us is that we have bursts of movement where we can take back most of the map…and then we all have to leave for work/sleep/class and it all gets taken back. So far though I am happy with this match-up, Maguuma and Yaks are worthy opponents of us!

That’s pretty much the definition of losing people, isn’t it? Your NA prime time isn’t as strong as it is on the weekends. Work and school aren’t really a complete story for that, it’s not as if we don’t all have similar situations.
I think Kaineng is pretty strong in EBG. They probably lost the guilds that would babysit their own BL to upgrade/defend stuff.

Careful there my friend, you’re going to throw out an elbow or something patting your own back like that. My advice would be to get a lackey to do it for you instead. It’s much safer that way.
I kid, I kid – some of the best fights I’ve been in all week have been against you and your mates. Keep it up, it’s the only silver lining so far. In most cases, KN sees us coming and high-tales it the other way. As a result, I’ve gotten much better at chasing down other players. All’s well that ends well.
Cheers
To the [RE] Guild in Kaineng, I have great admiration for the coordination and organization you guys always put together. The best experience and fighting I get in Eternal Battlegrounds is from your Guild hands down. I wish it were so easy on Maguuma to say that I had a full “Guild Zerg” running around bulldozing things but for us Maguumas, our zerg when you fight it consists of at best a 50-50 diffrerence between pugs and the mixture of WvW Guilds. I hope that you still enjoy the fights. I would have to say that Saturday (5/4) in the mid-afternoon before we abandoned Eternal Battlegrounds to take East Keep, we had a very healthy even exchange of wins – losses but you guys seemed to really get kitten off and leave after we beat you at the grub. Also, thank you to JudgeD for the compliments, that was me and the Maguuman Army! I look forward to fighting you more in the future, I have been working diligently to get the non-guild players or new-guild players to work on their coordination, builds, etc.
If you were fighting an actual RE zerg at the grub it sure as heck was not being commanded by Ethersin lol
As for them leaving, if Ethersin was there they may have gone to do something else…but since you fought them at the grub that probably just means they were like “meh let’s go do some PvE”.
No that was me commanding haha, we had a massive tail and I thought maguuma was occupied with the grub =P We all make mistakes
It was a good battle, I had my puggies coordinated well at that point though, I knew it was you commanding, by the numbers… Cheers!
Right, and when I command in EB, I have about 5 RE with me and 20-30 pugs…lol -_-. For some reason our guild only WvW’s when Ethersin is commanding.
Are you the D/D ele that commands RE sometimes? Or am I thinking of someone else?
Im the Tanky Guardian that is the first one to run into an enemy zerg. Most people wont push even if you tell them, so I lead by example lol
Sounds like more of a pug problem rather than a Guild internal problem. It’s quite obvious when Ethersin is on though.., cause there’s 65 RE on Eternal at once. Hmm thought you guys had an elementalist who was high ranking and had a commander icon. Maybe it’s a YB person. Pugs don’t lead by example, they run in fear. Do what you can do with what you can rely on.
lol this is a huge misconception that we always get regarding how many RE there are. During prime time we only have 20-30 RE players on, the rest are our servers militia. Many are new recruits we are trying to train up as well, I can admit that we are not as strong as we were during T2, due to people transferring out, quitting, ext. But we are building each day and hopefully we can bring good fights to WvW.
Ethersin -_______-
Respectfully, I have to also disagree like the CO Guild from Dragonbrand. You have to admit that you are able to yield 45+ RE during your scheduled WvW hours, maybe not all the time, but often enough.

Respectfully, I have to disagree, when commanders make bad decisions and dont listen to vital information it makes us look bad. I was roaming last night for fun and let others command, I was pretty kitten off by the end of the night when we lost everything.. I just logged off, not because of some overwhelming KN zerg, but rather because of illogical decision making in EBG.

This is true, we just have more guilds dedicated to WvW it seems than YB or KN, plain and simple. The other theories for why KN and YB fall behind simply dont add up, and are not easily measured or identified.
