Furiousbeard, you’re whining about a tactic.
And you’ve stayed conveniently silent about the FA thief hacking into TC Lowlands. How curious.
Furiousbeard everyone knows that you’re a forum warrior, you love the attention in these threads, you want everyone to know that you’re close to 20k kills in WvW. Congratz man.
My experience after a year playing WvW:
Every server zergs too much.
All the best players are hammer stun warrior thieves with infinite stealth.
PPT is super important but if you have too many people fighting for it then your server is the WORST!!!! And we’re gonna let you know about it ON THE FORUMS!!
Yada yada yada
Anyone that zergs is obviously a scared baddie that doesn’t want to fight in lower numbers a bloo bloo bloo
But maybe I’m wrong
I don’t police cheaters, that’s a job for you guys and Anet.
Beyond that I know for a FACT that FA and TC will see a lot of each other over the next few months so I would like to see some more roamers from you guys.
Zerg tactics are not the only ones to be used on a map.
Haha, dude, they’re on your server you should at least keep and eye out and report them too. You seem to have some ideals about WvW and I think having no cheaters in wvw would probably fit into that arrangement of ideals. I totally agree zerg tactics are not the only ones to be used on a map, and you won’t find me in a zerg. I run small group or by myself because for me zerg = lag = death. I’m constantly fighting against numbers greater than the comrades I have with me but I don’t give a kitten because it’s not going to change. Pug commanders are gonna grab pugs and zerg. Guild groups are gonna zerg. Small guild groups are going to hammer train on other guild groups and hope their ping is better, or they’ll hammer train against pugs and slap each other high fives and have a little tug as their kill counts go up. Such is life in wvw. Pay the repair fee and get back out there.
I’m going to swing you a tip. Last night (probably around 10:30pm to 1am Queensland, Australia time) in TCBL was pretty good for random engagements of small numbers. Fa had one or two small guild groups on, but they weren’t hammer trains (mainly thieves mesmers) and they were assaulting our camps and what not. We had 1 commander focused on defending a certain camp, whilst the rest of us were pugs. I had a great time with 2-3 other people fighting against these small groups, SoS joined in with a similar number and it became interesting even more. Maybe if this time slot suits you, it could be possible to find some action like that for yourself.
I report stuff if I see it, but since I don’t stand in towers all day, it’s rare to witness.
You seem like someone I see eye to eye with, so why not convince your two home boys to drop their fail troll acts? It’s pretty obvious these other two like the warmth of a turkish bath house in wvw.
Mate those two both have a lot of wvw experience and have been with TC during the tough times, like when we were being monstered a few months back and could only just keep our Garri (nothing else) on TCBL.
My final words on this is that zerging is going to always be a part of wvw (and perhaps an issue, depending on how you view it) as Urrid stated earlier. As far as my experiences have been most zergs are between 15 to 25 people, generally lead by a commander either in a Wvw based guild (with some of their guildies alongside them) and mostly pugs, or a free-lance commander with a spread of pugs and et al (this is TC).
A blob, in my opinion, is 2 or 3 organized wvw zerg guilds combining to create an 80+ mass of players. I haven’t seen TC do that in a long time, but then again, I don’t get myself involved in that action coz of the inherent lagginess.
Finally, I’ve attached a (hilarious low detailed) photo of the numbers I was running with last night when we moved to take FABL Garri. We were lead by an experienced commander of a wvw guild on TC, but it was mainly pugs and barely any were in mumble.
We came up against a SoS zerg or two full of organized guildies in wvw guilds, plus the FA defenders… but that’s life in wvw.
I don’t think FA is in a bad spot at the moment. Most FA players I see in wvw are in wvw based guilds and seem organized and playing the professions and builds that (supposedly!) lead to victory.
