Guild Wars 2

Welcome maximumpanda

The who nightcapped who is pointless (and actually pretty silly considering we were fighting each other invisible a good part of the time at best). I’d rather we finished this with the more cordial conversation we had at the beginning of the thread – we can kill each other on the battlegrounds.

Drama aside – since we are nearing the final stretch here – I want to give credit to both Desolation for making a great recovery considering their circumstances and Kodash for hanging in there. Minus a few random people as always the representatives here have been good sports and that’s always nice to see.

It goes without saying SFR has done a great job considering the rather significant issues we’ve faced as of very recently. People underestimate us and at the same time I think we tend to overestimate ourselves. Hopefully we can keep a tad bit of restraint when posting and acknowledge the success of others (I know, language barrier, still…). This week would have been really boring if Desolation didn’t improve as they did throughout.

Yes.
Yes it is. You can never to be too careful. is he mapping? Or is he scouting? My group of 4-10 always goes after solitary characters on the assumptions they’re scouts.

Bah, I’d never considered scouting. I withdraw my snarky comments, in that case

Hmm, wonder if I can get that orb abuser to teach me teleportation…

I’M KIDDING!

Oh YOU’RE thorny scrub :P I see you complaining in team chat a lot, haha :P

And yeah, the hackers have made everyone paranoid. Now anyone who mesmers in is suddenly a hacker.

My problem is I basically write my thoughts in chat without thinking if I should write it or not. I have the same on voice coms. The good part is that I’m very direct aswell, and people either like me or hate me for it.

Often I simply write what most others think, but don’t mention.

Yeah, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you write something I don’t agree with :P You can come across as a bit of a negative nancy at times though ;D

Heh, it can be seen that way. Anyway let’s stop the friendly talk before more of our posts get deleted for it! Send you a PM!

I’d like to say thanks for the fights this week, hacking, hacking accusations, and complaining about nightcapping aside. Desolation managed to salvage a comeback out of this week and I’ll be interested to see where we end up next match.

I’d also like to say welcome to maximumpanda and RUIN. I hope this weeks performance showed you Desolation does not back down even after a very rough period. We managed to fight our way back and, to be honest, if this was a 2 week matchup, we’d be fighting for first place with SFR, after comming from a 3rd place.

I hope you and the other guilds can work as a team better, and start a dialog between alliances. Communication is key, and a friendly environment even more so.

I’m not a leader, but on behalf of the IRON night-crew I would like to say “Welcome RUIN”, as you guys give us an opportunity to actually sleep! Thank you!

Looking forward to working with you. Let’s get this party started!

There are always things to look out for. Classes especially. If there’s a solo thief for example then we won’t risk leaving him alone because they’re the most effective scout class that I’ve seen. If there’s a solo warrior or something then there is more of a chance they’re an unfortunate fellow caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Still, better safe than sorry

If the matchup calculator is correct next week we shall be against Blacktide and Augury Rock. We’ll change colour, Blacktide will be green, AR blue and us red.

I like pie and stuff

Well kitten i like it. Means i can get kitten every time when kitten your eyes.

LOL

PS> Futilez wins \o/

Well played throughout the week by Seafarers, thoroughly deserved their win this week. Also a big thanks for your decisive action with the orb hacker, which actaully meant you guys like us (Deso) had a harder time of it, losing orb after orb due to this hacker.

I feel for Kodash as they did not ask for the hacker/s.

As for all this night capping flaming etc. It seems to me that at different times of the day some servers are more active than others. On the weekend desolation was pretty much deserted, no idea why (happenned last 3 match ups now). Seafarers take everything most mornings, we slowly fight back during the day and then have a numerical/organisational advantage later at night. It’s all part of the game.

Anyway we in Iron have really enjoyed fighting it out with everyone this week.

Hope you guys at Seafarer’s kick some …. next week.

Gota laugh at idiots in here claiming SFR lost some ground or kodash became 3rd not 2nd due to the WvW invisible bug. I can assure you as many people died to invisible zergs on deso as any other server, and the % that rage quit over it was the same on deso as every other server aswell. Or were we magically not effected by the bug? lolz.

pathetic.

At least our majesty IKshadow can see projectiles and can build super massive tactic to attack from behind with our force recon mesmer’s portal. Any other pug guild cant think like this. And we use combo fields efficiently. (dunno if is it secret)
So ofcoz, strong guilds will kitten others more efficiently even with invis bug.

I just dont know how many servers have same organization like our PeVePe.net community. http://pevepe.net/gw2sfguilds
Its like common chat for all players.

PS. anyway i already bored because of always winning. Its was frustrate but very fun when elona\kodash were.

Desolation certainly improved in activity last few days.

I was kinda sad to see Kodash give up early, spoiled the fun.

I wouldn’t say Kodash have given up, they put up a really good fight yesterday. Leading in potential points by +100 for quite a while.

I really don’t understand why a big american guild would transfer to a european server, don’t you even want a challenge at all?

Well i actually see this as a positive thing and i hope this might happen on other servers to so makes it more fun for everyone at anytime of the day and removes this lame “ohh you win only by night capping” This is WAR :P 24/7 so lets have some http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDxCBx9Xb1I

And welcome all American Girls and Guys to desto will be nice to meet you all (tho after some XCOM playing Rawr)

yea its fail. but each to their own. they will have alot of fun fighting gates with no people guarding them. Should get boring after the first week.

howie.4596:

I guess there’s a possibility they weren’t good enough pvpers to fight vs equally many people. And the solution for that would be changing from na to eu server I guess. To fight undernumbered people at night.
This is just what I think though. Based on my own ideas, nothing else.

So yes…and the german Servers take who?

Sure, there are numerous german communities overseas, but there are no german speaking nations over there. The ability for german servers to get nightshift players is significant lower than it is for other languages.
If other-language server konsolidate more – and they will naturally – I fear the german servers will be left in the dust. As there is a large german-speaking community in europe, it could be possible that one Server will be chosen as nightshift Server and can play in the upper brackets – the rest will be mediocre at best because of nightcapping.

At the moment it looks as Elona will be this one server, as it had a nightshift going and large parts of riverside WvW guilds transferred there. We will see how they will hold against Vizunah next week.

You know what Krusk to be honest i never was for FR or DR server and think is there own choose to play on one, no one forced them to play on a German server i think like ever other country they can use English its a silly EU thing or (there countrys community) to kind of force companys to make those kind of servers, why don’t we see other country servers to then ever country play on there own server.. That we would be fun no ?

But still it all comes down to the night shift thing. And i think people just leave it it will always be here until more EU go to NA and other way around.

As for Pukknub and Webley makes me think you guys where night capers and now Q_Q that you wont be able to do it so easy ohh yea see you can look at it 2 ways..

i’ve seen that some kitten has already followed us, so i will do my best to address it. as it comes in

we do not parent our players, if someone wants to make himself look like an kitten remember he doesnt represent the organization as a whole

Does that statement also holds true for the guild leader?

Why Icaras, why? I officially like Art Style more than you now!!

If GG wants to “help” Desolation, they should just log in to borderlands with the least population and get busy. Like 2 days ago, on prime time on SFR borderlands, we had exactly 7 players on it (I counted), we held no points and a large SFR group was hitting us while standing in the Determined zone (not that I’m bothered by it, though they could have used those resources to get some Kodash towers or the keep).

if you read the post that the guy who took this screenshot wrote, he agreed that the kongo line was funny and admitted that this in no way effected their gameplay.
so to break down the situation:

ruin was fighting 2 extremely effective oceanic servers for our first 1 week match. after 5 days it became Statistically IMPOSSIBLE for either server to even get half our point gain.(if one server held the entire map for the rest of the match, they would have still lost by something like 140,000). we saw the opportunity to recruit while we were having fun and that is why our guild leader, repping our guild, with a commander tag is over there actively recruiting for our server. now i dont know how the european bracket works… but that sounds like a pretty terrible spy to me.. right? (he even looks like a giant kitten demon, how much more do you want)

check the original thread where this was posted, the OP states that he only posted it because he thought it was funny and realizes that doing this had zero effect on the outcome of the match.

This is just what I think though. Based on my own ideas, nothing else.

this is something we were expecting people to start saying. the fact is that toward the end, we were the only thing propping our server up. everyone had given up on WvW because their numbers were less then the other peoples numbers and they cant tote on the forums about how great they are, if they aren’t winning. this is largely an issue in NA servers in general.

we spent a great deal of time scouting for a new server and were even to group up with PRX on another american server (a massive extremely well organized guild about the same size and dedication as us) but in the end we looked at our options. every server that would be considered an option for wvw (the top 8 servers… thats 3 brackets) are absolutely full. it is unrealistic to imagine bringing a guild that is 2000 people strong to a server that is ALWAYS on full status. the next option we looked at was possibly a lower population server such as kaineng. but this quickly did not become an option. as it stand right now, our forces are outfitted to fight in tier 1. probably not win t1, but would be a strong contender for slot 2-4 (again europeans are a whole new ball games so this is projected dont quote me on this). now if we went to any server that is below slot 8 in the US rankings. we are looking at OVER A MONTH before we would see the competition we are actually ment to fight. now im not sure if your server is used to the dead horse beating that is tier 2 on the NA bracket. but a month before we would see T1 would have killed our organization, people would get bored and play something else and just never come back.

so then the problem became, where the hell can you go. and our final and last option was “well what are the europeans doing?” and thus we started reaching out to european servers. our allegiance lies only to our members and that they are enjoying themselves, and thus when researched, EU servers seemed like the only really place for us.

now i just want to state as its already popped up. we in now way are underestimating the EU night forces. while tier 3 may be a little light, we fully expect to get our kitten handed to us in T2-1 as we learn the tactics that EU servers are using. we in no way believe that our single move is to destabilize the EU servers, but we believe the EU bracket is more mature and ultimately a better place to be.

EU ‘night forces’ are very large in T2 and 24/7 zergy in T1. The NA players will not lack action if we get back into T2 or T1.

As for german servers not having a night zerg option, 2 things:

1- No offense guys, you play on a server marked to use a single language, what do you expect, people to learn german so they can play on your server?

2- The french don’t have a problem nightzerging.

PREPARE TO RUB THOSE GATES, MEN!

You’re talking about not having enough competition.
So my question to you is if you really get that kind of competition on eu servers when the main core of our players are asleep?

If we go back up in the brackets and end up fighting Arborstone or Vizunah again, they will find plenty of opposition. PLENTY. Trust me on this.

The final countdown is upon us and the results are all but set in stone. It was a week marred by hackers, invisible armies, and late night population differences, but in spite of all that many a good battle was waged.

So long, and thanks for all the Badges of Honor,

MajorKong

i dont think people are getting the bigger picture here.. ruin moved for all the reasons that maximumpanda stated.

With the full intent to move up to tier 1 and battle against the canadians causing the night capping problem on the other servers.

the more we get large guilds and people who are willing to move to servers that need forces in those times to compete with the other servers that are dominating, the more fun it will be for everyone.

we don’t plan to PvDoor at all, we plan to fight canadians all night long

Kodash borderlands a few minutes ago:
After some very nice long fights, we (SFR) managed to take Greenbriar. Inside we decided to build some trebuchet. But someone was not happy with this and payed us a visit (see screenshot)
His account seems to be chartail.5476 and he was just porting from one place to another. We killed him a few times, but in a few seconds he was back, full life and didn’t stop until he destroyed all siege weapons.

Disaster, this upsets me They’re everywhere

That’s not a guild I’ve seen before. :S I’ll keep an eye out and report him if/when I see him!

What an amazing comeback Desolation had this week and with Ruin on our site and all the organisation that we setup by now, i think we´ll give the french a great fight, the next time we face them.

Proud to be on Desolation!

US #1 server atm, JQ is full of EU based guilds for 24/7 dominance.

Blood Guard Pride → hacker guild as i see. Its the second evidence we get here on this forums.. there is even a kittening video of it. I’m surprized Anet hasn’t done anything yet, besides ninja-nerfing rangers shortbow >.>

And here we are for a spanking against night cappers :p

But its ok, we reached very high for a medium populated server to be honest ! :-)
