Couldn’t watch… Dupstep… Dubstep? Whatever…-shudder-

I wonder what level AR will stabilize when the free-fall fluctuations are past and the player-base presumably re-motivates and re-organizes. (Again I haven’t had much chance to get on this week so I’m going by pure assumption that it hasn’t yet due to the volatile nature of free-fall and its effect on morale and all that.)

I’d have to go with medium-range T7. From what I’ve run into, it’s not a lack of skill with AR, it’s their coverage. Their overall numbers seem to be less than a high T7/low T6 server, but definitely more than -say- us or ET. But that’s just my opinion.

Myst.5783:

Yes, EB has HOURS long queues and a full map running in one group during the karma trains.

Wow….just wow.

As Dov said, we’ve (AR) been together with the likes of Ebay for MONTHS, who are competitive in T3, and they didn’t have numbers like GoM. Maybe they do now, but holy hoopleheads, why why WHY are you guys in T6/7/8 with your population?

To put it into perspective, one month ago, BEFORE we lost a huge portion of our WvW population, AR could AT BEST (ie. everyone getting on the same map) queue ONE map for maybe 10 minutes. Now…..hah! If we put everyone onto one map (NA prime time mind you….I’m not talking off-peak) we might be able to get 40 people on a map. 40. Total. Meanwhile GoM seems to be able to run 40+ zergs on multiple maps at the same time.

IMO we’re headed to T8, and if there was a T9, we’d likely go there. We’ve just lost too many people to be able to match 60-man zergs and unless we get EVERYONE onto a map, we typically have 10-15 (and more are leaving….it’s not over yet). GW2, to a large degree, is a numbers game, and no matter how “good” or “bad” you are, 10 vs. 60 isn’t going to go well for the 10.

Anyway, GoM, I am thoroughly convinced based on playing servers that are 2-3 tiers above you that if you picked up your game you could be competitive with them. Organize, train, work on tactics, and go beat the kitten out of some T3-4 servers. :-)

GoM’s always been a high pop server, even after most of our WvW crowd left because of the orb hacking stuff that happened in the early months. It’s just that we’re a heavily PvE-based server and easily distracted by shiny objects with particle effects. The fact that you see giant seas of GoM players running around is just a byproduct of being on a winning streak and having commanders run karma trains.

You’ll probably notice a pretty big population drop next time we take a tough loss. You’ll probably also notice a lot less forum warriors coming out of the woodworks to run their mouths.

Oh and on a side note, I can tell you I have had up to 60 on a tag at some given moments. I really should command more, but I’m trying to train new comm’s and this is a really good environment to do that, because it’s hard, formation and team training when it’s easy. These are good rules of thumb. I also feel all posts from this point forward should contain hoopleheads or some version of said word.

Trust me, we are not T3-4 material, yet.

Everyone keeps asking why we are not higher ranked. The answer is complex, but here it is.

1) GoM does not have the population you think we have.

Yes we are queuing the map with the karma train, but that is because you simply cannot top that rate of XP/Karma any other way. People are flocking to it because it is so valuable, it is not our normal WvW crew. In fact, we have been recruiting PvE players and new players to join us on the karma trains, as an attempt to get PvE players involved in the WvW community. Trust me, these numbers will disappear when playing WvW is less profitable.

2) GoM has consistently been given a negative random roll.

(Note: If you don’t understand the new random match-up system, there are many good explanations of it on the forum here.) GoM has been getting a negative random roll every week. We are always fighting servers below our rating. The only serious fight we have had in weeks was that one week with DH.

When you get a large positive random roll, you have an opportunity to steal rating from a higher tier server if you can hold your own. When you get a large negative roll, you have to protect yourself from losing rating to servers weaker than you. Since GoM keeps getting negative rolls, we have not had much chance to climb ratings. Our only option to move up in ratings it to completely crush our competition into the ground, which we do not have a lot of motivation to do.

3) GoM Stacks EB

(Note: I’m probably giving away trade secrets here.) GoM is home to some really great EB focused guilds (I’m more of a BL person myself). We will often queue EB, and have less than 10 people in every other map. When GoM BL gets hit hard, we often have to call in the EB crew to help. When we rush a map, it is usually every BL guild and a large chunk of the EB crew. It might look like GoM has hundreds of people because you see 80 GoM on EB, but there are probably only 100 GoM in WvW total. If GoM divided that up and only had 25 people on each map, it would feel very different.

CONCLUSION

When GoM gets a large positive roll, half our numbers will disappear, the karma trains will end and we will get down to business. We will hold our own (especially in EB) and go up in rating. But in the end, it will be our night crew which saves the day, (Aussies and Insomniacs FTW!)

GoM understands how to use arrow carts just not how to avoid them, take Klovan several time this match up.

Trust me, these numbers will disappear when playing WvW is less profitable.

From our perspective, until that happens, you DO have the population we think you have. Typical karma trains roll around the map flipping camps, control points, and the PvE content. With juicy, WxP/Karma laden towers/keeps just sitting undefended (and paper), YOUR karma trains just flip everything. That’s no different to us than a PPT-focused effort, again from our perspective. Not saying this is good/bad etc, it just is what it is.

On our side, if we don’t want to get rolled, we need to be more focused with the resources that we have and do a better job defending. Problem is, it seems folks have pretty much given up already and they’ve either gone back to PvE or are happy flipping our stuff back and forth so we all get the same WxP/karma that you all got taking it (and you guys seem happy to let us do it so you can come back and flip it again…..our keep on EB last night was a perfect example of that).

Anyway, keep it classy on the field and I wish you success and a good roll this Friday. :-)

GoM’s always been a high pop server, even after most of our WvW crowd left because of the orb hacking stuff that happened in the early months. It’s just that we’re a heavily PvE-based server and easily distracted by shiny objects with particle effects. The fact that you see giant seas of GoM players running around is just a byproduct of being on a winning streak and having commanders run karma trains.

You’ll probably notice a pretty big population drop next time we take a tough loss. You’ll probably also notice a lot less forum warriors coming out of the woodworks to run their mouths.

Did someone say shiny?!!!!

I love da shiney!~

I shall keep the forum war up as long as it entertains me.

I love this forum, everyone on GoM is raging hard because they got called out, then flattened by the same thing by about 10 or 20 FC.

Hilarious. You guys are just the greatest. Half the fun of WvW is coming here, and seeing you guys Q.Q when you’re WINNING.

QQ? I’m just having a grand time. I always enjoy watching as someone jumps the line of chest thumping and goes straight into beating the kitten outta themselves. But in all seriousness, we are a friendly community and would be glad to help ya with your problem.

IDK about him but I will take AC presents!

Hey GoM, what happened at the FC EB Keep there?

Arrowson’s Crossing.

Thanks for all the bags! Wiped a zerg force of GoM that was at least four times the size of our defending group. With Siege, Tactics, and Open Combat.

Proof is in the pudding, boys, FC = All the skill.

Maybe I’m looking at the map wrong, but it looks like GoM just took your keep again.

They also lost their borderlands except bay but at least the genre of this guy’s talk has changed from “GoM are spineless jerks that use arrow carts” to “LOOK AT MY NEW TOY OMG I DIDNT KNOW THESE EXISTED STOP QQ” sorta thing..

So cudos to you big boy! You will be a man one day

Hahaha, GoM was swept off all three of their keeps when they had all of EB.

Why do you guys insist on debating that all you have is numbers, when everything you say to contest it….is saying you have numbers?

“We are skilled, we have tactics…..but our 100 man zerg was in FC BL”

Av, stop bro. This, like WvW, you can’t win. You literally just took back your keep because we left it undefended to do Champ Oak. You cant chest beat much harder or you’ll crack a rib.

That’s a laugh… It was actually about 10 maybe 12 at most that swept your borderlands, we had to run supplies just to get a treb up… But that’s cool man, not everyone can count.

I hope people at work are entertained aha

Okay, that was bad.

GoM was thwarted in their attempts to take green keep by two Superior ACs.

No mesmers were willing to cooperate in portal bombing(I clicked through green names and found a few in the group, shame on you). I think I was one of the only ones that was actually trying to knock the people off the kitten carts.

watched the FC arrow cart video hoping to be wow’d by some tactics and strategy. but unfortunately nothing there to be excited about. same old stuff really. nothing new, nothing I haven’t seen before. nothing there I haven’t done or been apart of before.
but im not disappointed since its only FC and it is to be expected.

I am kinda disappointed in AR though. it sux ik considering you lost a lot of your wvw player base but still I was expecting to see some new tactics and strategies. although im not on much anymore but was hoping to get a glimpse of something new. I really do miss the old days of GoM vs BP vs AR.

it is also true that mostly our wvw population comes from pve players. when you have a lot of pve’ers from different guilds running in a mindless zerg you get what you see in the FC arrow cart video which is easy kills. odds are they probably didn’t need the arrow cart(s). unfortunately without the pve’ers in wvw we would more than likely be outnumbered and not win as was apparent when we first went to t8 and pve content was out. next week pve players started rolling back into wvw and complaints started coming out making comparisons to fighting SF. but it is what it is I guess.

I’m actually appalled at the fact that we care about Karma and WXP over our score. I watched as we went from +350 PPT to now +270 ppt at the penning of this post. All points lost from EB because we’re too busy letting the enemy recap things for the WXP. What a joke.

Im glad you guys all seemed to have taken my advice on arrow carts seriously, and are actually able to defend stuff now. Open field siege is kind of lame though.

Sorry doll guy with the fireworks, I did tell them to stop.
