Guild Wars 2

People seem to forget that SoR has more losses under its belt than wins, and yet it has the best community and is and always will be a top tier server.

No one cares about ppt or winning.

The BG chest thumping is amusing as always though.

pot.6805:

Okay you heard it here guys, if your enemy has t3 keeps and uses siege in a siege based game you’re allowed to give up.

SoR is still fighting, especially in SoR bl. BG loves to constantly claim SoR is giving up. SoR never gives up.

A WvW guild can call itself like that because they contribute for their server to fight for ppt in wvw. If you don’t then change your spelling.
A GvG guild means what it means also like a Pve guild, a Bank Guild, a Fotm Guild etc…

[IRON] are you a WvW guild ? SoR will be so sad to see you leave soon as you are secretly planning to transfer after getting wiped so hard. I find it sad because [IRON] was claiming having 600+ people queuing 2maps at once and being a wvw guild that can bring hard times… Where are you now? May be don’t forget to use TS it’s helpful for beginners. Just saying. Much love.

We reached that point : BG 620 ppt – SoR 20ppt – DB 55ppt

DB can say that they really fighted harder than SoR. And stand proud.

So lets see if i got it right…
Last week sor was complaining about JQ’s decision to just fight and have fun instead of defending their map. Now Sor is basically doing the same thing.

Do what i say, dont do what i do? Okay then…

So let me get this straight, BG overstacks their server and goes FULL and the forums are then flooded with BG chest thumpers.

Stay classy BG.

As a BG player…. that looks awesome and hilarious. I wish I was there to see it!

I wanna know what the initial scout in Bay said when he saw that.

SICK PLAN SOR.

You guys purposefully lose 3 weeks in order to make PUGS jump ship to BG to make BG FULL.
THEN you guys can recruit hardcore wvw-only guilds to stack sor while BG is full and cant recruit anymore.

NICE PLAY SOR.

Grats on the wins once you get all the wvw-only guilds

GvG recap video for July is done. I hope you all enjoy it!

Sorry I didn’t get my normal weekly videos done this month. Between vacation with the family at the lake, Steam summer sale and all the other July festivities, I just worked with what footage I had so far for July.

Great GvGs everyone! Was a blast!

Who the kitten are you fooling?! No doubt in my mind you give a kitten about PPT and winning or you would not go to the extent you all do to recruit guilds to your server, eh? If PPT means nothing, you all keep doing what your doing and you sir, will not have to worry about always being a top tier server, kkthx.

Why is it on every page we’re being mentioned? Don’t worry folks, we’ll be seeing you all real soon. Being the Hub of NA, you can rest assured JQ will never be far.

Have fun folks!

btw…. As much as I’m relishing the thought of killing all of you, I have to give props as those were some pretty epic Golem rushes

Titan titan titan. I enjoy your mushroom induced rants again SoR as much as the ones you made against BG. Thumbs up for fully supporting whichever server it is you are bandwagoning too this month though.
The point of GvGs is a chance to improve your skill as a guild and to reply to QQing about only winning with blobbing. IRON having 600 members and all the rest was forum drama (your favourite activity). We are still here and have no plans on going anywhere. Since the lauch IRON has moved server once (unlike you).

Fixed your sig for you as well.

To be honest, SoR can do whatever they want.

Tank to recruit, go outside in the sun, tank to recruit, play for fights not ppt, tank to recruit….. Etc…..

In the end it’s the competition that makes it fun, and that’s what your opposition offer. From what i’ve seen these past few months, thats exactly what BG offers no matter the odds.

Uphill or downhill… BG fights on!

FA is recruiting.

Come to tier 2 and bask in the glory of using all your skills in a fight, not just 1.

BG too stronk! Jump ship everybody!!

I don’t understand why people are talking about how not caring about the PPT is actually laudable, as if being flippant about the core mechanic of this game mode were the nobler pursuit of WvW. Isn’t this why you fight harder? Isn’t this why balance among the servers actually matters? If your server’s score isn’t up to par, just laugh it off and say you’ll do better next week. To say it doesn’t matter compared to some random pursuit is dishonest and discredits the entire community.

just ignore it ….

we all know it’s just a dumb excuse from Losing side.

they know they cant complete with us this week. that’s it ….

You do realize it’s a game not rl right?

People do what’s fun, for most of SoR it’s the fights.

There’s a reason why the server with the most losses in history is still one of the best servers out there, and that reason is not ppt.

While BG may have made a big deal over SoRs 5 wins, most of SoR didn’t care. Now SoRs record is like 8 wins and 40 losses historically. lol.

Definitely, ppt does matter to an extent, but only an extremely small one, to Rallians. SoR simply doesn’t want to ever become past rank 1 servers that got too obsessed getting first. With this obsession, more and more people will become extremely affected when we do badly, causing the server to have more and more fairweathers. We don’t wish for this to happen. It’s our server’s philosophy to prevent this kind of obsession. That’s why many Rallians are completely ignoring the score and saying “I don’t care about ppt”. The score is just a nice bonus for us.

I care about the score to the point of keeping us in a competitive matchup against other players. Beyond that, I could care less. I actually prefer losing as it reduces our queues A LOT and leads to more opponents showing up which drives up the level of difficulty. Queues 4 weeks ago stretched into an hour if not more. My queue was 2 mins the other night.

Maximizing PPT isn’t fun, upgrading towers, escorting yaks, building siege, scouting, all of these activities are not fun.

It’s one thing for you guys because you’re winning and winning is inherently fun but we’re not winning. To me it’s like throwing gold at a lost cause and since I don’t run in the zerg I’m not replenishing the funds I spend. I’m not having fun and my character is regressing.

God bless the elite guilds on SoR that are still out there fighting and sticking it out every day but I know I speak for a fair amount of players on the server who just don’t give a kitten anymore.

Its not that anyone has given up, just that the extra motivation to push for a closer score simply isn’t possible. People are possibly just playing their daily few hours raid instead of the overtime that everyone does when scores are close.

When such thing happens, its often that pugs are affected as they log on to a cmderless map which results in what we see as “giving up”.

For ppl who play for fights, they are the ones who play that 1-2 hrs daily, no overtime no extra effort to stay on and push. Those who stay a bit later are the ones pushing for the PPT. It happens when scores are close.

Lul he sed balance.
BGoc/sea being bored from lack of doors is definite side benefit.
So is the bandwagon shuffle, come to think of it.
Hated seeing shiny new sor forum ppl posting OOC qq

bg the best server

jk

The server with the best coverage wins. Without JQ to counter BG’s SEA, SoR can do nothing to win BG.

Honestly, I think part of the changes is that the old-fashioned “zerg target x till it dies” doesn’t work as well as it used to. Havoc is starting to run more rampant and it does a lot of damage when not dealt with while everyone else is running into each other with 80+ groups. Smaller organized groups, where you have three separate guilds running their own portion of the map, are much better to react, respond, cause damage all over, and take on larger numbers.

You could throw 80 people at 20 defenders, but that leaves 60 others to either come in behind you, or flip your other things. If all of it is over a paper keep… even if the defenders lose it, you end up still being stuck there because its paper and an organized force will tear through its door in seconds.

T3 makes havocs and smaller groups less immediately threatening and gives a server more luxury at blobbing up, perhaps that’s part of the problem.

To be honest SoR has always been an underdog server which is why the 5 weeks we won, no one cared and some were surprised we won.

Maybe it was BG tanking so they could recuit and get their server to FULL, I mean they know so much about that.

SoR is happy and apparently so is BG, that should be enough for everyone unless of course BG was trying to destroy any competition they have left. But I know that cant be true, BG wants to fight the best and balanced servers for their wins.

Azure.8412:

This doesn’t really line up with what I know of SoR, but I’ll take your word for it, since I suppose you could pick and choose certain posts from certain BG individuals and accuse us of having an unhealthy obsession with being first. As a server, Blackgate has been knocked on its kitten more than twice but I really salute the core guilds who show up day in and day out regardless of the score and ranking. These guilds are the reason why we’ve stabilized in T1 and never went on a downward spiral even when we got pushed down into T2. SoR has not experienced this dip yet, but I do believe the community is strong enough to maintain a good server rank for a very long time.

So who do I have to kitten on here to get a GvG with CA?

Also have some respect for yourselves and post the video of IRON and TW wiping you for 35 mins on EB, only baddies show wins and not loses. Respect though, I wasn’t commanding last night but I did enjoy watching you guys at work.

What’s T2?

(Was just about to repeat something said 100’s of times, in every match thread since RNG matchups started, by people from all server, but went with sarcasme instead)

Fannwong.3059:

(Note: edited the post because I double checked my files on server numbers over the 6+ months) FW

(Well constructed answer above removed due to forum posting count limitations… )

Your advantages then and now, equal and exceed what SoS was winning with against far harder odds. Where your coverage is less currently, you compensate by having strong coverage where SoS never had any.

SoS’s strength was it’s NA fielding, which led to it’s victory over a huge SBI. From what I’ve heard from SoS vets directly is that SoR exceeded that NA fielding when entering T1, even before recruiting TSYM. What exceeded that was cake.

I know you’ll have data graphs, but every estimate I’ve seen put out never includes militia which beyond the guilds themselves, accounts for a wildcard variable of about 50-75% of the fielding for most NA servers. That’s been true in the NA bracket since HoD’s Titan Alliance and it was true for them as well.

Organized play grows non main tagged numbers. Morale loses shrink them. Training time off and obsessions other than what militia can help with disrupt your turn out even more. PVE events hit every server with this as well.

With their militia, Titan Alliance’s HoD had no coverage holes. A newly crowned JQ with 3 hour NA queues had them. A newly crowned SBI had them. SoS had them and actively had to recruit to maintain numbers as T1 Green. BG had them and had the same logistical problems SoS did.

BG took the crown every time by pushing for it. Except for Titan Alliance’s HoD, every server before had to do the same.

The real exception is SoR’s own no overtime policy. Every server except for Titan’s HoD had to put the hours in. SoR decided not to.

Population forum warrior misconceptions come from this. Your players putting in 1-4 hours think that a player putting in 8-16 is part of that same time zone fielding. That’s completely inaccurate.

Also, most people miss the fact that the maps are smaller. Most people still haven’t noticed that the zones tend to hover at about 80 per map, while silently being adjusted with random patches since the Culling fix. That’s far less than the fielding at game launch.

Back to the data graph numbers, most of what you are tracking internally is your own server attrition. It’s a nearly universal factor for servers in both brackets. You are no more of a victim from this than any other server. It’s simply a natural player base attrition as a game goes on, though admittedly accelerated in GW2. In fact, it’s why IRON transferred. IRON’s stated reason to transfer from the EU bracket was to keep the guild from dying off in this game. It’s the same motive that many guilds transfer with.

What you probably aren’t tracking is your opponent’s attrition. Servers and guilds are simply wielding less numbers as they naturally do when the game goes on. This impacts militia as well, which accounts for the feeling of what most time brackets are fielding. Herein, lies the months of forum bickering and propaganda, mostly from wild misconceptions that were less researched than most people’s political philosophies.

Your server is still fighting a coverage war that hasn’t existed since Oct 2012. I respectfully submit, most of this in your server member’s heads. Everything since then has not been the giant that came before.

Titan Alliance’s invincible coverage is gone and the silent logistics behind it are not being reproduced, even on a smaller scale. At some point, people might want to wake up from that. At this rate, it’ll probably happen sometime in 2015.

Everything above is of course factoring all time zones. Most of your posts are SEA specific.

My 2 cents. Your mileage may vary.
