Quinti.5204:

welp, seems like a can’t roam around solo and try and get 1v1 fights. I’ll just get teamed up on. Nice work~

i know what you mean, this is like the worst matchup ever for solo or small group roaming. Noone runs outside of a zerg of atleast 20 and even the "roaming guilds" roam with 10-15 people.

Lol?

Man you guys are in a world of hurt when/if you get into gold.

That’s quite alright, now that I know you guys always want to zerg roll a solo’er, I’ll just run in this "so called blob" and roll over any solo’er.

Quinti.5204:

welp, seems like a can’t roam around solo and try and get 1v1 fights. I’ll just get teamed up on. Nice work~

One of the drawbacks to every changing match-ups is that you do not get to build those relationships and get to know who is fair to let pass and who is not. In DAoC once you built up some rep you just had to avoid the zergs, no one else would AJ you.

Takes a lot to build that in an ever changing community, so we are left to learn to kite it off and deal with the deaths if you want to roam, no point getting bent out of shape about it.

Andrew Clear.1750:

We know we will get spanked by t1. But, aren’t we spanking a t2 atm? I believe we are. But, they did lose numbers, so they are probably a t3 now.

Imma be really sad if we don’t get SBI this coming reset

Insane Pancakez.9182:

kitten Beast I thought you guys were a skill group but instead running with abys and pugs If there are any skill groups left that don’t run with pug zergs, please stand up.

I distinctly remember rolling over INC multiple times tonight and you had other tags with you if I recall correctly. Or was it just the INC guild?

Man, what a match. What a thread.

GG this Week Mag and SBI. Best match we have had on FA in weeks. Sorry we can’t PPT it up for you guys this week but admittedly, we are pretty tired of playing PvAC.

As for the open field stuff, anyone saying that SBI or Mag don’t have skilled players probably needs to step out of their zerg and try some real open field small group PvP. Zerg militia bag farms are a very bad barometer for skill.

SBI, GL in the coming weeks, your gonna need it. Keeping your militia engaged when you are catching a beat down is the hardest part of WvW in this game from the server-macro standpoint. Time will tell how you guys react. As a former member of Kaineng before FA, I will say that your first big loss is going to be your defining moment as a server on the rise. That loss is coming and fast. Don’t let it get you down. Staying classy and being fighters is how you stay competitive up here.

Mag, I liked you guys better when you weren’t a trying to be PPT nubs. Nice job keeping your WPs in your BL pretty much all week but to be honest, that is probably why you lost. You guys were zerging your BL hard when there was nothing there for you to take. If you wanna win, you gotta be more offensive. If you make it to Gold league, you will notice why pumping so much gold and effort into something is mostly a fruitless effort. I applaud the effort, but I would rather fight the old Maguuma that I could get good skirmishes against more consistently.

All week ive been wanting anet to nerf perplexity runes, but tonight i ran into about 15 different perplexity rune thieves from both servers, that literally only served the purpose of turning into free loot bags for me, so if perplexity makes terrible players run terrible builds im all for them.

Shoutout in particular to the 4 FA pistol whip thieves that got spawn camped by 2 people lololololol

To be fair, most plexity running kids i find are terrible, the kids from bags are the only fun fights i’ve had this week from SBI

Thanks for the fights DDLG

Abys and TE how’d u like that Bay defense

We learned our AC mastery from facing Ebay so much

Yo SBI dudez with golems on our WK come on back, u guys are juicy 60+ wxp per kill, bring us more bags plox.

Mag has always been a server that focused Mag bl over everything else, except when we face TC or tier 1. Nothing has changed…

As for not winning, our main wvw guilds (VR, Pyro, Ark) want to get into gold league just for the fights. We don’t care about winning, we know we will be crushed. Anyways, SBI has the points advantage mainly because of off hour coverage.

SBI mainly has points because FA is a shell that can’t defend anything even in NA prime.

Does FA not even log on unless RET is doing a 40-60 man?

Legion.1569:

So all trash talk aside, my take on these 2 servers

Magumma: To be honest mag has some good blobbing guilds, had some good gvg’s and fights with VR and Ark (before they got interrupted) They also have some decent roamers in Aon even though you guys tend to run in groups far larger then a typical roaming group ( apart from Aon all the mag roaming guilds are terrible, just look at swag lolololol)

FA: Has by far the worst player skill per player of any server ive faced (and i think ive faced everyone but T1 at this point.) Just awful on every level, from large group to small man to solo. I dont think FA is tanking this matchup i just think there so terribad that when they cant zerg down another group 3 to 1 they just get crushed

Just my thoughts on the matchup

I’m sure FA is at least more skilled then SF.

Dieallknow.1387:

So maguuma Heres what i want to know, why are you guys sucking so bad? and how come this thread did not get locked? cause when i was on Maguuma the tread was locked 4 to 5 times a week! Did most of EVOH leaving hutrt that bad?

who is evoh?

In fairness to FA they lost a lot of folks/guilds recently, lots of guild restructuring going on, etc. They still have a better outlook than most servers, so I am sure they will find their grove again.

AoN averages 7. Some nights 3, other nights as many as 9. 7-8 is a fair number in my opinion given that there is unfortunately not enough roaming groups, so you spend most of your time fighting zergs.

Good fights.

Those guys who tried to hit mag keeps a couple hours ago and didn’t even destroy any of the siege on outer when their golems broke in before they threw themselves at inner.

I saw the stream of DDLG vs Ark. I will admit Mag has some very hardcore pvper’s and would have loved to see more of that if “SWAG” didn’t interrupt. Kudos to DDLG and Ark.

In fairness, they were trying to beat the WP timer, because actually fighting to take the keep was never going to go their way.

That was pretty much the point I was trying to make in my above post. I roamed a lot in Mag and SBI BL this week. SBI was responsive to attacks from FA with fairly accurate numbers. 5 guys attacking a keep? Send 10 guys, problem solved. Mag on the other hand, 5 guys attacking a keep? Waypoint in 40 guys, while SBI ransacks FA BL and steals all the points.

When you send 40 guys to stop a havoc from poking at your towers and keeps, your being trolled. Camping FA border with 20+ to stop 5 guys who you think are trying to get out? Do you really think they are trying to get out or do you think they are bag trading with your to keep you militia tied up from doing more productive things?

Like I said, I applaud the valiant defensive effort but the strategy is flawed and it makes you look like a wannabe TC Jr.

lol sometimes people believe that a zerg can solve all your problems.

I wish my friends and I had more time to roam, fa isn’t that terrible.

Well interesting week. My thoughts:

FA: It feels like they’re not as organized or determined in this match-up. I have faced very few large forces of FA that were a single guild. I’ve run across many pugs trying to defend towers and keeps, filled with various guild names, and making uncommon mistakes.

Mags: Immature. They talk more than they accomplish. Seem hell bent on keeping their BL. It’s good to defend your BL though. It just seemed to be such a priority that it cost them overall. Stronger during the weekday work hours. No presence at night. Might want to recruit people over the age of 21.

SBI: Feels like we’re still gelling the old people and the new. Still don’t defend our own BL that well. Personally, dominating the map on the first 48 hours kinda deflated my vigor for the match-up. Still plenty of areas to improve upon. Don’t think we’d enjoy Gold, considering we were a competitive, field-fighting middle of the pack server post-exodus. Most came here for these sort of matches. Anyone like Mags, FA, SoS or maybe Dragonband would be a good week.

Well, I can tell you, I have run solo, and been steamrolled by 5+ Mag and FA, so it goes all ways. Don’t pretend that you guys are just soloing 20-70 people all over.

I was capturing a bloodlust point yesterday, an FA guy came up, we waved at each other, then he took off to go back to his group. It was really nice to see some honor in this matchup. I can’t count how many times myself and an enemy have run past each other and just kept going, since we were on our way to different objectives and didn’t need to interrupt each other.

PS: I’ll let you know why we fight tooth and nail for our borderland. It’s to help our Sea/Oceanics, they are small in number, but a dedicated bunch. They need all the support they can get when fighting outnumbered (everyday) and having T3 keeps with waypoints helps them and their response time.

why are 99% of sbi roamers trash

Interesting definition of “honor”. Some might view the pacifism of you two lovebirds as quite the opposite. After all, as that guy by the portals is so fond of saying the mists needs world defenders, willing to put their lives on the line. I don’t recall him crying out over and over for friendly folks looking to make some friends. You know fighting other players is meant to be the point of this whole thing, right? Actual combat isn’t just an inconvenient delay on the way to the next circle you’re determined to stand in.

Couple things:

1.) They’ve got ya there [bags] :P
2.) PTV guardian
3.) Stomping after a duel is widely considered fairly meh, of course if this wasn’t a duel so much as you guys just letting it be an even fight then that doesn’t matter, nor in that case does the difference in bloodlust stacks matter.

meh wasn’t the original word, but this forums censorship is mind kittening blowing at what an enormous pile of steaming horse kitten it is.

The accusation was less aimed at your blobbing and more at your poor manpower management. The more time you spend mobbing your own BL, the less time you are spending actually being productive and increasing your score. There were times when you literally had 20+ guild groups roaming in the south with no objectives lost for 30 minutes to an hour.

I shall elaborate for the illiterate Maguuman,

“guilds groups consisting of 20 or more people”

Just lazy to read everything form the starting of the thread and jump between the pages.
But on the last page, FA is criticizing others servers while they are in the third rank…..

Magumma: To be honest mag has some good blobbing guilds, had some good gvg’s and fights with VR and Ark (before they got interrupted) They also have some decent roamers in Aon even though you guys tend to run in groups far larger then a typical roaming group ( apart from Aon all the mag roaming guilds are terrible, just look at swag lolololol)

FA: Has by far the worst player skill per player of any server ive faced (and i think ive faced everyone but T1 at this point.) Just awful on every level, from large group to small man to solo. I dont think FA is tanking this matchup i just think there so terribad that when they cant zerg down another group 3 to 1 they just get crushed

Just my thoughts on the matchup

Yak’s Bend. FA is terrible, but I have yet to see another server as sad as YB.

Yak’s Bend is definitely a contender. they are pretty awful lol

Those guys who tried to hit mag keeps a couple hours ago and didn’t even destroy any of the siege on outer when their golems broke in before they threw themselves at inner.

LOL, did Mag leave EB to come defend? Mission accomplished.

why do people still think that total points are indicative of anything aside from coverage

Because they haven’t faced T1 Juggernauts for week after week after week yet.

and by then they’d be all “WE’RE ONLY IN IT FOR DA FIGHTZZ”?

The winning server will cite a natural superiority in both tactics and player skill, and the losing server will suggest that they A.) weren’t trying at all or that B.) some other factor(s) outside of tactics and player skill determined the outcome.

irrespective of those things being true or false, every server regardless of it’s playerbase will always pragmatically flip flop between either the winners or losers argument. We’d like to think that the reasons for our victory deserve merit, instead of chance and circumstance, alternatively we get comfort convincing ourselves that our loss was not inferiority, but inevitability.

I guess what I’m saying, is yer all garbage, get on my level.

SBI deserves full value for the win. They played for the ppt and the results show. Not sure what the issue is here, why try to troll a server playing the game how it was designed?
