Quick score update. Hoping that siege bug gets fixed soon for all of our sakes!

You have damaged gear. It must be that chest armor that appears to be missing some material. *offers up a leaf*

Guys, you really need to let me get at least a second cup of coffee in me before this:

Asudementio.8526:

I have not seen poorer long term play on any server’s part more than i have seen from FA this morning. GG

To be fair they may have issues brought on by ANET, evidenced by a contested home BL citadel wp (refer to pic above).

This week is kinda borked, some servers have siege sometimes, golems most of the time, crashes, citadel wped contested?

Can we just call a mulligan?

Or have a fireworks parade?

Dont think we’ve gotten NNK to party with us yet lol.

Yeah, ANet really screwed over this week with the siege bug…

That and FA’s coverage during SEA is abysmal. It has been for a long time.

Then they turn around and put DB in the double digits in the afternoon, as they did yesterday.

Just saying…

long term play is for Guild Wars 2, This is GOLEM WARS BABY!!!!!!!!! zerg, cap and recap!!!!

I just want you to know that your naked zerg yesterday in FABL made me grin, and I used fireworks and /cry ’d on you guys when we had to unceremoniously end it a few times. Hopefully we get to have a joint firework parade again some day soon!

Best post ever.

Oh boy, both TFV and NNK in TCBL pvdooring reinforced gates down.

Glad you guys appreciated it! I definitely noticed your guild tags around as well (and remember our guys ran into yours in EB). It’s about having fun while playing hard : )

I was commanding our merry crew and was a few drinks deep so you didn’t see our finest battlefield tactics – but we had fun, and I hope you guys did too!

We do this once a week after our guild nights so you will see our staple naked zergs and other variations if our servers fight together in the future

/salute

We have a few guilds who run naked zergs as well. Those are always great fun!

Looking forward to seeing you guys out there in the future. Hopefully the new ranking system gets us all matched up again down the road.

How is the citadel WP contested? Anet bring golems there?

Can someone tell me what guild the commander for Dragonbrand in Eternal borderlands is from?
this is for ocean time or sea time

Why? If you want me to relay a message I can

theres a TFV member following our EB grp around and the DB zerg is waiting or flanks us everytime. Outmanned and pvd for 90% of the morning isnt good enough?

Hickeroar.9734:

Is this the running naked to someone or the running naked away from someone? They are similar, but not quite the same. Some people have more fun with one than the other.

We’ve already sacrified two of your omega golems, DB. There was another one that we were about to liberate then you had it waypointed.

Does TC have EU guilds or just massive pop that goes in from differen guilds as militia?

You’re full too mate.

Pop differences arent the driving force in the disparity.

Mayoken.9851:

We have pretty good coverage by guilds in EU/Oceanic/NA. The guild groups are also buffed by PuGs as well. Some of our SEA/Oceanic/EU guilds are kinda on the small side, but have good leaders that PuGs seem to follow. Our late NA is just huge, obviously. We queue three maps some nights…

Aggressive action from last night :P

Right. Remember the status quo:

DB hacks can only PvDoor during SEA time.

TC / FA clear the map in EU time because of amazing skills.

Population =/= Coverage.

DB’s SEA being so massive just doesnt leave very much pop space for other time zones.

We all work with the same population, but different coverages, just happens that SEA/Oceanic is the most “valuable” slot to have overwhelming numbers in.

EDIT: Currently both TC and DB are FULL, so population wise there really shouldnt be too large a disparity if any, you have the bodies but they just arent showing – evidence is FA, at very high but seemly having more participation.

Your SEA should talk to WM about meta tactics, even though your SEA might have more numbers they still have a lot to learn about map hopping or limiting map hopping (in your case) as well as locking down DBBL. Its much easier to outmobilize your zergs than it was WM.

Its why Kaineng used to stay high 200-low 400s for many hours whereas your SEA hits low 300-high 400 but only for an hour max.

It’s cos you called me fat. Outraged females from all servers are about to come follow you and slap you everywhere you go. /nod

I’m kidding.

Militia dear. Militia. The term pug is used by servers that don’t realize their value. We value our militia completely, they are the backbone of our forces out there.

Sorry. “Pug” is a bad word. xD

“buffed by militia.”

I will say that I’ve always been impressed by the ability of TC militia to hold a map together without any single point of leadership (commander/guild/etc). We can pretty much leave EBG without a commander for hours at a time and the militia keeps all our stuff green.

In the original context, I think he was asking about what you would call EU coverage, not total server population. Thus, I took your response as saying that the point disparity in EU prime time was because of a difference in skill, not coverage.

Also, I just want to mention the population distinctions (Full, Very High, etc.) are vague at best. I’m not arguing that TC and DB don’t in fact have very similar populations, I’m just saying that it’s not a very accurate descriptor, and I’m not going to form opinions from it. It’s like trying to describe a person and all you can offer is their skin color.

How accurate we will never know, unless ANET is generous with information (hur hur), but it’s all we have AND official so it’s what i’ll work with.

I my opinion DB has very large swings in participation and thus, by extension, swings in coverage too.

Reference the first weeks of our matchup where DB was at VERY HIGH yet was able to field VERY large forces seemingly 24/7 on all BLs.

I think there is little doubt there are more bodies on the server now at FULL when compared to VERY HIGH.

Thus the only logical conclusion is declining participation, which IMO isnt an issue recruitment addresses, but rather one of organization and morale.

Interestingly, DB’s SEA does not seem to suffer from such large swings in participation, hence the consistent ability to dominate the ppt during that timeslot, it’s a credit to them, much respect for those guilds NNK,TFV, AT, GA and the various militia.

Conversely, DB’s EU/ early NA coverage has seen HUGE swings in participation, with the resulting volatility in ppt.

Digressing.

Regarding recruitment for a more competitive tier.

Tier 2 has the SMALLEST spread in glicko rating between Green and Red.

Tier 2 has the TIGHTEST ppt total of ALL tiers in NA.

How is the Tier NOT competitive?

TC and FA I’m calling for a Karma/WXP/rank train with this seige bug…. For instance DB goes into FA, FA goes into TC, and TC goes into DB… We all win lol

Asudementio.8526:

Lack of siege placement throws planning out the window and reduces “long term play” to a simple question of coverage.

On the brighter side, it does seem to be encouraging more fighting.

Whew, I’m just glad Anet is going to fix the ranking system so we won’t have to endure such competitive matches in T2 anymore. Can’t wait for the SoR/TC/Mag funfest. J/K – will be nice to have some new opponents, although T2 really is a blast right now.

I don’t care what anyone says, no siege has made GW2 1000x more fun.
No more 2-3 players sitting on fail carts to fight off enemy, no more lonely treber with too much time on he’s hands, and esp. encourages players to fight open fields.

Too bad they gonna fix it soon. :c

Forgot the population coverage, I want an answer to my non-coverage question.

Ha! Yeah, I don’t know about you DB and FA guys, but TC players have been straight up goofy the last couple of days. Its been a blast, and I haven’t laughed this much in WvW in ages. I’ll be a little bummed once siege is fixed, but only a little.

I miss my siege and upgrades

hmmmmm…. i like this idea….. we’d have to get all servers on board though…

I went to the dentist. Everything tastes like WvW now.

to the theif and Mesmer that 2 v 2’ed us at ne camp dbbl good fight and since nothing else but golems can be dropped we are gathering the armored core

Hold on, lemme make counter AC next to wall, to make enemy cry zoom hacks.
