10/25 SBI-EB-NSP
Ugh… I dont think the people on NSP realise yet how bad for us it was to beat IoJ, if this means we’re not in Bronze next season.

does anyone else enjoy getting shot at by glass longbow rangers as much as i do?
[Trillmatic][SPCA][xmas]
It’s a wonder we’re even holding what we are, I’m actually impressed with our little server’s tenacity.
Anyway, pointless match is pointless. Can we just have SBI and FA fight and declare a winner from that so we can go back to at least having a chance of a balanced match anytime soon? K thx.

Glass ranger is a bad ranger imo. They’re fodder. Fit only for standing in the back ranks of zergballs as mobile turrets. A shame to the whole profession. Easily the most versatile profession in the game, utterly wasted.
If you can’t tell, I have no love for them lol. I used to be one, and it took a real ranger to show me just how bad it is.

Not whining, just an observation. 14 weeks of unwinnable matchups wont be good for our fragile WvW community if that’s what happens. The 7 weeks we have line up now could be interesting if it hardens our core and then we get to dominate in bronze a little.
There won’t be another season, it’s back to random match ups after S1.

Odd… why call it S1 then? I guess I should have been paying more attention to that.

Glass Rangers are kind of a waste….I have multiple setups that I can run on mine, but in general, if i’m going to run around with the zerg, i’m going to run a modified version of my TB build, basically forgoing TB all together (though its not bad in zerg fights either, as you can screw people) and simply doing the 30/10/30 build.
Fully stacked out I have 2100 Power/2000 Toughness/23k HP/slightly under 1k condition damage/30% base crit chance/68% crit damage.
Then its just simply a matter of rushing in with whatever zerg and spamming the bloody great sword 1 attack.

SBI representing here. I may try doing some runes capping achievement farming this coming week if I can find people willing to stop being lemmings and blindly following the commander around like morons. Hopefully we can work something out then so that you guys can get your achievements out of the way as well, since I can already tell this week is going to be rough for you guys.
In before people kittening about achievements, yada yada yada.
To all SBI complaining about queues, the transfer server button is thataway.
I thought I had fun last week, this week is even more awesome! Some of the best zerg fights I’ve ever witnessed and for some reason I’m not lagging like last week. There have been some of the most epic defense fights I have ever seen of our garrison. Last night the over one hour long fight in our garrison, I swore we banner razzed the guild lord 30 + times.
Thanks for the epic awesome fights!!!!

That moment when NSP’s 2 biggest borderland defense guilds hop onto our BL immediately at reset, queue the map, and have Outnumbered buff in Citadel
seriously? The map was queued and you had the outmanned buff? How is that possible?
After you left last night, Olaf came into the BL with his crew then left, but we had a queue for 20 minutes afterwards, so something is lagging somewhere. I wonder if that was happening last week also?

our dedicated wvw players are the extreme opposite of fragile, even our casual wvw players are quite dedicated, its the half dozen folks that break under pressure and unfortunately have access to forums that are the problem. deep breath Tyops, its gonna be ok. just follow teamspeak commands and pick up all the bags after we run over the invaders.

Hmph! I love you guys too but still forever disappoint and it’s not just you guys. Lotsa guilds here are missin from cool bronze league ‘cause they thought "We definitely don’t wanna bandwagon but we’d just think it be nicer if we had some music to listen to and didn’t have to walk all the time".
Anyway, don’t mind me!

Heh… How do you explain this afternoon having at most 20-30 people in EB? That’s more than a few people checking out of wvw compareed to our usual pop.
I’ll be fine, but rough times ahead. :-)
+10 PPT, SBI please.
Do you guys really have to have 2 skill groups running around ganking our only force.
I spent so much money on superior siege at our garri only to be taken away by a 100 man SBI group in the middle of the night.
WvW is so unbalanced it’s funny.

Sorry, not much you can do really. It’s a reflection of the population and coverage differences of the 2 servers.
I’m sure everyone on SBI would rather have constant matches versus FA, SoS, Mag, maybe even YB now(?).
It’s hard to expect our people ‘not’ to play a game they enjoy simply because your server isn’t populous at certain times of the day.
We experienced the same thing 2 weeks ago versus SoR.
You guys are really competitive throughout the day. I actually spent over 6 hours on EBBL today and you guys had great numbers all afternoon and evening and it was back and forth all day. We wiped 73 times at your garrison and we wiped you 73 times at Hills. Enjoy those moments and not the ones with the huge population disparity.

I was in there for a couple minutes, and there was nowhere near 100 people. Just be glad the 40 man “havoc” group wasn’t in there too. >.< We are in your BL, because we get fights and things to flip.

Thanks to the few NSP that were fighting us near SE tower in SBI! First time I have actually gotten a fight in since before reset. Was a lot of fun, and glad everyone (both sides) kept coming back after death. (I was the Norn with the hammer).

I’ve seen this from both sides of the fence. What I’ve learned is this.
Take it as a compliment. It means you may have been the only people giving good fights so people flocked to you. I don’t think it was about overwhelming you more then it was hearing a stand up force was putting up a great fight, and they wanted to be part of that great fight.
Keep up the good work.

Then that’s where you need to make a decision as a player if you’re playing in the oceanic time zone.
Do the weeks against servers like ours who can put out large oceanic numbers impact your gameplay enough to warrant a transfer to a server that would better suit your needs as a WvW player?
Or do you get enough good fights in weeks when you aren’t facing t2 or t3 servers to warrant staying?
I personally play mostly in SEA, and am happy with SBI’s large SEA population that can queue a few maps a lot of times. If I were on a server with almost no SEA players, I would look at my options.
I know this week will be awful for EBay and NSP in off hours. I do feel for you guys.

Fragile server? Seriously?!?! We have one of the most, if not the most, stable server in WvW. We haven’t seen any mass exodus of guilds like other servers have and we haven’t seen a heavy influx of new guilds either. The people who are on the server now are the ones that want to be and want to make the best of it. We may not when the ppt battle but we win plenty of fights. The community here is what makes it a great server and now, thankfully, most of the complainers have left. Beside how much fun is it when you pvD and rotfl stomp people with lower pops. We did that to get into Silver and there is no way it would be fun or good for us to be the FA or SBI of Bronze league. Just my opinion….

:) Hello friends.
Ebay and NSP you all are the lucky ones this match. I’ve logged on for about 45 min total. Can’t motivate myself to go in when we have 400+ PPT.
Anet took way too long to even acknowledge that WvW population disparity was a problem. I don’t have any hope they’re going to fix it any time soon.

Titan Alliance? Team Legacy? Ring any bells? We were the first server that I know of in the game to suffer from a mass exodus of guilds.
We had queues last week for EB, this week we’ve been lucky if we’re not outnumbered. I call that fragile.

Dont think anyone is lucky in this match, just a flaw in the “league” idea. I’m happy they tried something new for WvW but this was quite foreseeable.

That’s what ruined things in the beginning tbh. The alliance thing in the beginning was the worst idea ever.

Shots fired. Can’t tell you how hard i’m laughing at this.
Also alliances didn’t ruin WvW. Extending free transfers from 2 weeks in to 6 months in did. That created the initial imbalance that then led to even more bandwagoning.

Yep rings plenty of bells. I was speaking to the fact that over the last 6 mos while most other servers were playing “bandwagon server hopping” we stayed pretty consistent. We have been on a pretty straight line while other servers have been a huge roller coaster ride. Again past is the past, speaking about the here and now you can’t deny the consistent presence we have had in the last 5-6 months. As to the queues, we saw a huge influx of PvErs, which is great… Now most just look at the scoreboard and decide to wait it out I guess. No doubt we have fewer this week, but I still see the same ugly mugs when I log in.

In regards to the SBI guys, frankly, I don’t blame you guys for doing what you’re doing. You didn’t design the matchup and I’m fairly sure if the roles were reversed we’d be doing the exact same thing.
What gets me is the ‘league’ because this match highlights just how stupid an idea it was to reward servers based on ‘performance’ IE: PPT when the matches are so skewed it’s not even funny. If the players could foresee who was likely to win this league before the match even started it boggles my mind why no one at A-Net could. So we’ll have to put up with 7 weeks of this nonsense for what, is basically, a foregone conclusion. EXCITING.
Though I am glad we finally got some payback on IoJ for always double teaming us when against servers like yours, that was worth it. Glad that, at least, we won’t be the lowest ranked server in Silver League.
NSP – [Zos]
This matchup is pretty much Zero Fun, NSP gets stomped, EB gets stomped, SBI get bored of having 400 PPT. Sometimes I question why Anet made up this Season thing when they one server will stomp the others . EB is already losing morale and making alot of people rage quit when they play WvW. Even if you try roaming 90% of the time there will be a SBI zerg going to stomp you anywhere you go, and if you try commanding expect also a SBI zerg to stomp you because any offensive force shown on the map they want want “fights” which they really arent getting because they have numbers 10 times our size.
I’m pretty much done with this game mode to be honest if we have to deal with 7 weeks of this crap.
tl;dr- Zergs. Zergs everywhere
You know. I don’t really think you and I play on the same server. As far as I can tell, you’re the only one raging.
That EB human thief with the dreamer, I like that build he/she is using. So many boon and evades. Fought to a stalemate a couple times yesterday morning on my ranger but my other alts just get stomped.
Enjoy those moments and not the ones with the huge population disparity.

Then that’s where you need to make a decision as a player if you’re playing in the oceanic time zone.
Every oceanic who transfers to a server with more oceanics only adds to the greater problem.
When people comment on WvW and there server isn’t in there comment…idk.

Abys, you are a pathetic guild to camp jumping puzzles. Don’t you actually have something more productive to do other than kill people who refuse to fight you? Go PvE or something.
Do remember that, that person may have been a PVER that may be looking for achievements and stepping into a jumping puzzle for the first time. So if you die there, whoops

Symptom of a larger societal problem. The significant majority of people don’t play for competition or to challenge themselves.

Hi, I’m one of the guild leaders for [GH]. We are feeling really guilty about the circumstances in which we took the bay in NSP BL from SBI. I just wanted to put it out here before we got called out on it that we did not intentionally try to steal your bay using a glitching mesmer.
Inside of GH, we have several thief/mesmer combos that specialize in sneaking in and hiding in enemy keeps. The mesmer who portalled us into your fully upgraded bay was in our TS channel, but he was not GH, he did so illegitimately, and our commanders on at the time did not realize this was the case until after the same mesmer pulled the same stunt to get back our bay on home borderland before somehow finding himself in an enemy keep (that no one had touched) yet again in NSP BL.
He has since been reported by the GH community and the other guild leaders on ebay have been warned.
Again my sincerest apologies.

Im one of the people who worked really kitten having an nsp bay t3. i was on the map for 6h.
We saw you guys (GH guild) using portal into the inner wall to jump into lords room while NSP was attacking fairly from the north. Emrhy bay didnt get into lords room for as long as i have been on the map so that portal was imposible. We were trying to get screenies on that on the next takes since sbi bay has been taken the same way a couple of times.
thx for the apologies and for reporting him
