Everyone will learn to fear it when TFH owns the briar tower in your BL
We had great fun holding it today against HoD’s unamused 25 man zerg when they came around knocking after what we did in their BL, then wiped a good proportion of it when they finally got into the tower, all with a small man group. Plus some brave pugs. It was a fun night, and makes me feel better about this matchup c:
I wish I recorded the farm on your 30ish man zerg yesterday at your Lake tower with VLK lol. Instantly killed.
You realize you’re talking to someone from AR and 30-man zergs don’t exist on our server, right? Hell, you could even count minions, pets, mesmer clones, and NPCs and you still wouldn’t get to 30, LOL. O.o
Zerg size is always overestimated by those fighting them, zerg size is always underestimated by those in them. I’m willing to bet if two zergs clashed and they were 30 man zergs, each side would claim the other had 50. Or they’d assume their own zerg only had 15.
:)
I suppose if he counted by 3’s he could have gotten to 30……
Come to us, you foes, and bring your flock.

Once upon a time long ago, when TA left HoD and we started our long fall from #1 down to tier 7, at off peak hours we could not even hold a single tower in our borderland.
I feel your pain AR, but trust me, it will get better eventually. Keep trying and it will happen.
GoM dominated, but one day in that week, we sweep the whole EB and turned it green. It was a huge moral booster and we stabilized in tier 7 after that.

I still remember the amount of gloating DR spew onto the forums when they break out of tier 8. See how the tables had turn.
Thanks Cymric.
Yeah, we’ll get there….eventually. The fall has been toughest on the casuals. I see all the time in map chat as they log in, see our map the “wrong” color, make a few deflated comments, and log back out. They don’t even try. The die-hards (die-alots? LOL) are still here though, so watch out!! GRRRRR.

Haha ah this match up is to funny! So me who is in AR and my guild form a group to take a henge camp bluevale. We deck this camp out and hold off henge with all our might. We just keep killing their mini zergs they bring. Then next thing we know they bring a commander with his lets see about 15-20 man zerg to stop 5 anvil rock players.. GG henge GG. Hope to kill you guys some more with just 5 of us!

I’m with Nightwrath on this one. It was a very enjoyable fight killing off all the mini zergs and to make it even better we got to continue killing the large zerg for a long while before they finally took us down. I’m sure there will be more of this to come and cannot wait!

Oh wow, you guys are like… so good! If only the rest of us could aspire to be as awesome as you guys. Nobody ever camps out in a camp until a zerg wipes them out! Wowee! You’ve revolutionized WvW with this. This doesn’t happen multiple times a night, no way that it happens every day multiple times! So awesome! Please make sure you post your awesome sauce tactics like this because this is to awesome not to post.
Well done!!!!! Post more of your accomplishments!!!!

Wow, I try to compliment you on your awesome story of holding a camp and I’m mad. That hurts man, that cuts me deep. I was putting you guys up on a pedestal and you’re just jumping right off into the unwashed masses. Well, you’re not my hero anymore, I’m going to take my poster of you off the wall and find someone else to worship.
Maybe someone from DR can explain this, because it makes no sense. You, as a server do not hold all of your assets, and instead of attempting to take back your own assets, you attack AR. I’m sure this makes some sense to someone from a tactical standpoint, and maybe they can help me understand why you would forgo the easier to defend, due to WP proximity, structures and camps, to take harder to hold things. All you are doing is softening them up so that the server in first can take them more easily and spread the point gap even wider. There must be some logic to it, but I just don’t see it.

sheesh… I can’t play ALL the time (j/k)… You need to buy a tag bro. give em a little to play for and they all come back in and help out. its hard to know where to start sometimes, but get em going and they’ll keep it <the Color of The Week>. I don’t know maybe we have a lack of consistent commanders, or people willing to follow them (for obvious reasons). We seem to get things going pretty well when i’m in there, and it seems to stay <CoTW> for a bit after i log out.
its a process. we’ll get there eventually. less talk more action i say who has a golem?

Not being mean, I just thought it was a great time on our part. Respect to all AR players that are still out there putting up a fight. We’ve had our good and bad times, don’t get disencouraged by a score. Wishing you guys best of luck and hope you can get some more guys out in WvW soon! :-)
Instead of posting stupid gifs, people should post more videos on matchup threads. They’re always fun to watch.
So its official ALS (Anvils last stand) has disbanded. 2nd biggest WvW guild i think. Zero (another big wvw guild) has also moved.
Ar is absolutely kittened. We would appreciate it if you’d take it easy on us as we have just lost MORE of our pop. and by more i mean we are down to about 50 WvW players total.
This is a sad day for this server. We are crumbling. But HoD and DR will most likely continue to absolutely destroy us with numbers 10x our size. I dont expect you to take it easy but anyways have fun.

The old ALS were the first to transfer out. The new ALS was just a casual guild under new leadership, repping wasn’t required. They may have disbanded but I doubt everyone in it left the server.
Edit:
I looked into this. Turns out that AR’s ALS is just fine. The original ALS, that transferred to Dragonbrand, broke up. Apparently Anvil Plants kicked the other leader & took half the roster with him. Could care less about that, though.

hahahahahahah, man I love hearing that. ALS dying from the inside. Plants is an immature troll, I respected his goal originally for making AR better, but once the true nature of his personality came out, pff. AR is better off without the trolls, better than yous’, and immature group. Even though we are small, at least we stick it out for the cause and have fun regardless of loosing/winning.
Dragonbrand will still be good without (Always Losing Sleep, aka the ALS that left AR)

This reminds me of PRO, the biggest WvW guild on DR that went to DB when we started losing in T5. They eventually broke up too and I can’t help but laugh at it sometimes.
The grass really isn’t greener on the other side in many cases. Despite what some self-proclaimed prophets say I think DR is in quite a good spot right now. The latest transfer we got was VP, months ago, and while they are a welcome addition they by no means have the same effect on our rating that a guild like PRO would. The only guild I guess we really rely on right now is DDLG, outside of them it’s exclusively smaller guilds that do the work.
Once AR hits rock bottom I think you will end up in a similar situation as DR.
Well, I would say we are at rock bottom as we have no where else to fall, sure we could loose more people, but currently as others from AR said not many more to loose as the only ones I see are the ones that want to stay anyways. Most of the hoppers left already. I think the pendulum will start coming back for us in coming weeks ahead. As long as we don’t get matched up with HoD, GoM, SF…
I mean, the server you play on has zero reflection of your guilds skill or how well you do against other players…. Unless all you care about is pvd and that pointless scoreboard…..
Otherwise it doesn’t really matter who leaves and goes. Random sever matchups kinda tosses all it out the window.

And if they were all there, who was fighting us off in EB?
PS. I have screens of it.
==========
To the person claiming that 5 AR were holding vale against mini HoD zergs. 1 person doesn’t count as a zerg, and one person every 3 minutes or so is not the “world’s longest zerg.” It’s just a bunch of solos you 5v1ed (plus NPCs) and then bragged about on the forum.
[LPC][KAOS] is in this for the long haul Anvil Rockers. I’ve been saying that since [TFO] and [ANV] left. We will go up in flames in this burning building with all you players who are willing to stay.
Side note, saw a really decent turnout in Eternal last night for AR, and special props go out to HH for at least dropping guild bonuses on a claim. Well done.

Go you.
LOL yes, first off AR is starting to field players bit by bit as time marches forward. As far small groups fighting off far greater numbers, not sure why you would get so defensive, all three servers have their moments, all three have posted on them in one fashion or another, only one takes offense to it. Groups make mistakes on occasion, leaders don’t always make the right choices, and player perspectives are extremely varied.
@Jscull That may be the case, or may not be. How you guys doing on HoD, haven’t seen you guys on the field yet. Still running the 5 man?
PS Been missing your special brand of forum charm for months.
Tryin to influence/ prove anything from our camp of thought is just pointless because we literally talk a combination of Russian, Greek, and Chinese to 4 year olds…
So spending the energy / time to encourage the 99% population majority to play a
More hardcore style is just pointless.

Post ‘em up. I haven’t seen 30 AR on the same map in months. I’ll use it as my desktop background to remind myself that there’s hope that we’re growing again.
As to why would we commit so many to one tower? That would assume there was any planning involved. My guess is it was a bunch of bodies from a lot of different guilds and they just happened to be in the same place at the same time. Once I see your screenie I can check the guild tags and know for sure.
You have to realize we have no large guilds any more. ALS was the biggest and they left, and now it sounds like they imploded and have broken up over on DB. Too bad as there were some good comms in ALS, but that’s their problem. They left us with our current problem of ultra low WvW population (once they left and we started to fall, the other large’ish guilds jumped ship too), so that’s what we’re focused on fixing through a new web site, recruiting in PvE zones, etc. It will take a while, but eventually we’ll get the numbers back.

I count maybe 15-20 players. There are lots of pets/minions/etc in there. And as I thought, there are lots of different guild tags in that mess, so it was just a mob.
Now if we could just get 2-3x that number on a map, we’d actually be able to push back on the zergs we face. Someday……

Dude, there are around 10 players to the left of the mass blob at the door alone. L2Count? That is around 25 players (being generous). And, that doesn’t count the ones to the left of the screen that were chasing a couple of DR.

My guess is it was a bunch of bodies from a lot of different guilds and they just happened to be in the same place at the same time. Once I see your screenie I can check the guild tags and know for sure.
You have to realize we have no large guilds any more. ALS was the biggest and they left, and now it sounds like they imploded and have broken up over on DB. Too bad as there were some good comms in ALS, but that’s their problem. They left us with our current problem of ultra low WvW population (once they left and we started to fall, the other large’ish guilds jumped ship too), so that’s what we’re focused on fixing through a new web site, recruiting in PvE zones, etc. It will take a while, but eventually we’ll get the numbers back.
All servers have zergs. The only question is how many. :P
I count maybe 15-20 players. There are lots of pets/minions/etc in there. And as I thought, there are lots of different guild tags in that mess, so it was just a mob.
Now if we could just get 2-3x that number on a map, we’d actually be able to push back on the zergs we face. Someday……
Exactly, Gab. What is it with this game where people are so delusional when it comes to numbers. Even when a video or screenshot is put right in their face?
Anyway, AR is horribly outnumbered. Again, the question is how many of these “zergs” could AR put on the field at once. Not many.
I was at briar in HoD BL last night, and there were around 30 AR trying to take it. So why on earth would you commit more people than you have online at any given time to one small south tower?
And if they were all there, who was fighting us off in EB?
PS. I have screens of it.

I laughed. Don’t forget clones, though.
Yeah, but these guys will still insist it’s 30+ and those of us on AR are “delusional” because we have no idea how many we have on our server. Meh, whatever. Kitten-heads will be kitten-heads.
We’ll keep fighting w/ our friend Outnumbered on our side and they can think whatever they want. I do see our numbers growing almost daily, so who knows, by reset maybe we WILL be able to field 30+ players on a map. WOOT!
Come to us, you foes, and bring your flock.
For we will crush your bones on the Anvil Rock!
If you go to your options in game, you can remove tags from pets and NPC’s. Clones still have tags but it gives you a much more accurate count of how many were out there.
And I was in that tower, and there was more than 20.
Also, If you guys wanted the tower so bad all you had to do was ask! We didn’t want to deal with 1 Siegerazer, much less two!
[VLK] – No one ever complains about bad Thieves, they die.
This is what I’ve come to expect from HoD. We’re Outnumbered, obviously no threat to “win” this match, and they are sieging our spawn. CLASSY!!!! Guess the two alpha golems had ’em skeered, ROFL.

Don’t worry so much about it man. Everyone will at some point go down the path of blaming numbers for all their server’s shortcoming. Once you get past this stage you will learn that playing defense doesn’t require an equal sized zerg. There have been many times this match up when AR has lost their entire side of EB when they shouldn’t have. I realize that many of your players are new to WvW and such, but once these guys start depending on themselves rather than a massive zerg to do well in WvW, AR will be the better server for it.

This is what I’ve come to expect from any server who is stomping a different server. Doesn’t say anything about the server, because every server has people who will do this or has had this done to them when the opportunity for it is there.
Don’t tell me you’re a guy who forms their opinion of an entire server over the actions of a few?

There is nothing more satisfying then repelling a zerg of 40 with 5 people in our tower. Utilizing smart siege placement. And the oh so hilarious supply traps.

No, I don’t form an opinion based on a few. This isn’t the first time HoD members have done this. I base it on a DAILY occurrence of having our spawn camped. This just happened to be an added treat of having it sieged too. This sort of lack of class only helps to ensure our newbies coming to WvW don’t stay. GG.

Pro tip:
there are two other exits
stop running out one by one trying to fight the siege
you have a buff in your spawn that makes you invulnerable to all damage
there is a reason why the breakout commander is there
So they only spawn camp you if you let them

The reality of AR right now is there ARE a lot of new players filling roles they do not know well enough yet. I’m OK with that. People will learn from it and adapt. Only real issue I have personally had in defending are large golem rushes before structures can be fortified, they are difficult, especially with lower defending numbers. Not impossible, just difficult. Just ask the HoD crew with 1 omega and 2 alphas how well they do against a cannon. That garrison assault was hilarious by the way, and yes, that was me on the cannon. But the 7-10 golem rushes on paper doors gets old after awhile. Spawn camp us, that’s fine, just means I don’t have to go as far for badges.
here’s a novel concept …. and i realize this might be hard for you to grasp .. but there are 3 exits from spawn, so why not take one of your other options?
if you are dumb enough to continuously exit via the one being spawn camped then you are dumb enough to deserve to be spawn camped.
it’s like .. if you choose door 1 you will get kicked in the nuts when you walk through, but if you choose door 2 or 3 you will be able to safely walk out in to the world. yet, you are taking door 1 and complaining about being kicked in the nuts.
i do not understand.

LOL. Yet more kittenheads. Love it.
Yeah, I know there are 3 exits. The NEWBIES that I’m talking about here do not. Yes, we try to keep people at the spawn for this very reason – escort the newbs. That’s not always possible because frankly we’d like to play the game and not have to baby-sit newbs out of our spawn because of kittenheads who think camping it is “fun”.
Try, if possible, to expand your thinking beyond your little world….or not, I couldn’t care less. The majority of the people responding to this topic are totally clueless to what’s going on and are just proving to be….well, clueless.

Dovgan all it means is that dude cryin was one of the peeps that got smoked and feel stupid and hate someone else brought it up publicly. Lol
Oh, I got “smoked” several times that day, but I don’t come on here to cry about it. I was just making sure that we were all honest about the teams we were fielding, and as much as I understand what AR is going though, the poster I quoted basically said they had every person in wvw in one location by logical deduction of their statements. Thus my post.
This was factually incorrect, and just as the screen shot was posted proving my point, that same poster laughs about how few people that is… right.
I don’t care when I die, and I certainly don’t get flustered by the PvP tryhards who got lost on their way to hot join and now can’t win without their OP food buffs.
I showed up for NSP, I showed up for SF, I will show up for AR and DR. Unlike some other posters who think the forum is the fight.
