Jan 11-18 | SBI vs SoR vs TC
I am actually kinda disappointed that we are wrecking and in 1st place now because we have bigger queues at all times.
wtf happened? There’s usually never a queue at 3am pst. If we had this much coverage before, it would have been SoR going to T1 instead of BG. Did we have a sudden bandwagon come our way?
I don’t know, It seems you guys have a healthy zerg 24/7
So maybe ya do

Not really bandwagon. We’ve been in talks with some guilds for a while. Some have finally switched. We’ve had two new comers who have helped fill the gap in late night coverage.
I should add that free transfers end on the 28th, so some guilds have started making their moves already.

You shouldn’t be labeling people quite frankly. And if you do play on SoR, you know we have been actively recruiting for quiet some time. I don’t think anyone who comes here is bandwagoning anything when they are accepting our invitation.

The only Queues I have seen around 3am have been in Eternal Battlegrounds. We were lucky enough to have some new faces appear to help us during the oceanic period as well, and they are a most welcome addition to the SoR family. I still don’t believe we have enough off peak coverage for Tier 1 though, EB may have a queue but we were still only able to field an 8 man roaming group in TCBL last night.
Thanks goes out to PiNK and Co for giving us a real fight last night in TCBL, good fights all round.
Bandwagoning only happens on other servers.
When large groups join what they see as a successful team, it’s not just to win, it’s because of the excellent community and recruiting work. I doubt anyone goes “hey guild, let’s bandwagon to the winners!”.
When you are on the server getting the bandwagon anyway. Semantics are often a matter of perspective.
Score update for us dayshift Ozzies plx
I see…
Those guilds made the right choice xD. One upside of this is having the luxury of SM waypoint. Seems like I hadn’t been able to use that in ages.

One of the guilds actually came down a tier too.
SBI seems to be aiming to close the point gap. They may soon overtake TC.
Yes, they decided that enough is enough.
Probably because they could already hear the laughter from the GW2 community if they would loose to us, the role-playing-softies

So many times I have said “Ok Lets start porting the golems back to SM” to hear “Why dont we just waypoint them?”
By now I think we have held onto SM more this week then we have with all our matchups combined against BG.

Gwen here again …
I can’t believe i forgot to welcome our Guests here in Tier 2.. Here at Hotel Tarnish Coast , we like to Welcome all that grace are borders. SBI it’s an honor to have you as are Guests this week and we look forward to many many many many Skirmishes. Being relatively new to this tier ourselves , SOR has shown us some great battles.
I have and continue to have the upmost respect for all that WVW. Takes guts To Represent your server and we never take that lightly.
I’ve had the pleasure of defending against many servers. and to be perfectly honest.. Each one scares the Kitten out of me . Nothing like that Thrill of seeing 2 red dots coming at ya .. then suddenly turn into 50. ( no escaping that ).. Or that Pulse pounding that courses thur your head as you try in vain to hold off a zerg with a single arrowcart while they beat down the very protection that seperates you . The awesome feeling of watching (dead on the ground) a well organised team set up seige in locations you never would of thought of an then systematically ripp apart every thing you built or paid for. (upgrades can hurt a wallet-just saying).
BG, SOR,SBI,CD, YAKS,FA These servers have taught me much and our guild takes a piece of all your knowledge an incorporates it whenever we can.
The talents of these players seems almost limitless in such a limited enviroment, which why We enjoy the battles so much. Now time for the Shameless Plug for the Guild…
If you would Like to join us in Tarnish Coast, {TSF} The Shining Force , would love to have you. We are looking forward to having a much bigger Presence in WvW and you would be a welcomed edition . If you would like details , feel free to pm me or send me a message thur forums .
in the meantime .. HAve FUn an Lets Keep oureyes on the real enemy.. Those darn Krait

Maybe becuse we are in first place a few of our server PvE’s are testing the WvW Waters.
I dont mind a Queue makes me more hungry when i get in
Who is the Guardian on TC or SBI running the Sword/Focus? I want that build! It looks like so much fun

Can i arrange to meet some of the role playing softies? The players i run into from TC seem to have all based their character on Gilles de Rais.
I just wanted to acknowledge that both SBI & TC have some very talented players/leaders. I have had to eat several helpings of humble pie since this match-up began. I see some talk about people wanting SoR to work up to T1, but I prefer to savor this match-up for as long as it lasts. It has been some of the most fun I have had with this game. Thanks again to both servers for a wonderful experience. You are both classy and skilled.
As it goes – our 24/7 coverage has also been a product of lacking sleep and some very dedicated commanders.

I’d like to say thank you to the Necro that handed my Thief his butt today dueling in the EB jumping puzzle.
You are the best Necro I have fought yet. I never mind losing as long as I’m learning. Thank you and the rest of TC for the good sportsmanship.

If she was from TC and uses a candy cane hammer/sword and focus.. Thatd be me!
edited to clarify… Meant shouldn’t have transferred to, what it looks like, strongest server in this tier.
Don’t be silly, they should have moved to Kaineng.

Now I’m curious… Hey Rose, what build are you running on that guardian? Is it a 0/0/30/30/10 meditation build?

We have some European guilds trying us out before the 28th, so our population is a little higher than normal. If we can keep them, with any luck we’ll stabilise at rank 5-6.

Kaineng is on the way up and is in too low a bracket atm. It is not the server you remember as being last.

No one plays a game to lose. Very organized disciplined guilds can still win a lot of fights even on a losing server, so they often stick it out. But if they were losing most of their fights, they would make a change also. You also have a good number of very small organized guilds that can do well in 5 man teams, and the occasional skilled solo player. But one way or another, these people are winning more then they are losing, or they find something else to do.
The more casual players, the ones you need to win as a server, will generally go by if the server is winning or not.
As for community, that’s another area where people tend to think their server is better, but generally speaking it isn’t that much different from other servers in the same tier. I know from first hand experience for example that Sor and BG have communities that are roughly equal. Both servers commanders work together well, they both have fairly active websites. Sor has a much better teamspeak setup I’ll give them that. But things that really stick out and say one is vastly different? No.

I can’t remember if it was TC or Sbi you’re all red to me
I just remember having some really good fights vs a Guard that was going 1v3 using blind very well and I think they were using a shield and something else as the off set, with sword/focus main.
I did run into you last night with the candy can though. If I’m on my guardian you will see me with the punisher (2handed morning star) and energizer/shield set up from [gsch]. I’m running a 0/0/30/20/20 altruistic heal build at the moment but I have a sword just waiting to get used and was interested in the build.

Let us know what zone you’re in so we can come too.

ughh, so Sor just got a guild in it with 9 commanders. Why dont you guys transfer over to 2nd or 3rd place servers -_-
Wait, there are guilds in SoR besides Choo? jk. I do give Choo props for having the best guild name I’ve seen.
We take alot of pride in it. We even /shout Choo Choo! when charging into battle
Coolest thing Ive heard that happens on SoR!
Then you’ll love the train whistle we occasionally blow in TS when we do something awesome
Train whistle? Pft, that’s nothing! Blow a train horn in TS, you know, the one that’s air powered and about 3 feet long? Then, then i’ll be impressed. :P

wtf happened? There’s usually never a queue at 3am pst.
1. It’s usually only on 1 map.
2. People changed when they sleep.
James (Aka Purp nurp) and many others changed when they sleep so they wake in the middle of the night. Like the other night he woke at 2am Central.
