Harmonizer.4210:

Did RS seriously exploit cap SM?

no we go by 2 sides in we with golems the others only for trick you:-) riversider dont be exploiter

Balzamon.1396:

they have a fully upgraded BL supply for golems is not hard to get

Still doesn’t explain how they got the golems past all our scouts on their side of the BL.

Just saying, there wasn’t any distraction at all when you guys capped SM. It was fine, “lord attacked by 30 people” > capped instantly.

I would like to thank GH and all the others from Piken for some nice fight on Gunnars Border yesterday, DTK enjoyed it much.

Pikens should just shut up. They blobb more than we do. Here another example. 50-60 Piken for only 1 kittening T1-Tower, you guys are so awesome … NOT! You need 15 minutes, 3 trebs, 2 ac’s and 2 katas to take this tower. HAHAHA

I don’t know with action on this tower this was (couse there were a few of them – and I dont remember that we built others sieges that catas). There is some screen from our side:

Seems that after lost bay you were very angry, you need a whole border to fight with 15-20 ppl ?

And thanks Gunars for helping taking tower

So now it’s become a derogatory term to have big blobs? They seem to be darn successful. It might prove Piken’s individual players are better if they can win despite being outmanned, but they aren’t winning right now. Your personal 2v2 victories don’t get you to win until Friday. So, for the love of god, please stop trying to prove who’s got the bigger blobs. The devs said that there’s too much focus on zerging (and I completely agree), and reading Devon Carver’s blog post, we can safely assume that will change over time. Until then: Don’t blame any server (collectively, mind you) for zerging if you agree that it’s powerful. It’s in the game, it works, and if 100vX means that 100 will survive (and the others be sent back to their respective waypoints), of course the people over at RS will use it.

If having a bigger blob means victory then you will blob.
Sun Tzu said that, and I think he knows a little more about fighting than you do, pal.

Not all Piken players/guilds are whiney little kittenes, If anything I wish the GH and RS servers had more numbers.

A few fights from Tuesday/Wednesday

We didn’t even know it was Piken at first, it was more just “Zerg, run!” we just assumed it was riverside, the golem was never going to escape anyway so just damaged the gate more, it was only after that we noticed it was a piken zerg and not a riverside one.

holy kitten when did that happen!?! I suppose it explains why we cant catch up in points despite having more land than riverside during the hours when the sun is shining

I never understand why people post screenshots of them reducing someones tick to zero. Clearly that’s a result purely of you having vastly more numbers than them at that time and is no reflection of any skill?

PIKEYS LISTEN UP! FORGET WORK, FORGET ANY TYPE OF RL, WE MUST PLAY 24/7 FOR A FEW DAYS!!!!

I’m not joking.

ThomasKreshant.6572:

Have to say out of the two servers we’re facing.

I like Riverside better, much better attitude to the game.

I agree to a certain extent, i am from Piken but dont like to see the constant complaining from us, even if we think we play better or more honorably than our opponents whining about it defeats the purpose.

Hmmm, I thought it was one of those standard “haha we got your tick to 0 GG” posts.

If not… well I didn’t quote him so my comment can just be taken in the general case

ThomasKreshant.6572:

There is something to admire about Riverside’s “we will play the game how we enjoy it, and there isn’t anything you can say to stop us” attitude. A big fat middle finger to the elitest guild attitude you so often see on these boards.

Having said that I do prefer the 25 v 25 man fights… anything more than that and I start to lag. And it is highly frustrating when you gather everyone you have on the map in once place and RS still outnumber you 2 to 1.

A genuine question to those RS who steamrolled our borderland late yesterday afternoon. Do you actually enjoy romping over half your number in easymode capping of T1 structures? Or, like me, does it leave a rather stale taste in your mouth and you do it purely for the easy Wxp and points?

My take on this matchup so far. When they run on their own, the Piken guild groups are more fun to fight. But RS zergs are more effective. Guess it comes down to the fun vs points mentality.

I thought the answer was pretty obvious, since they clearly enjoyed playing just PvE during the night?

Anyway, ze Germans knew what they where doing. They took the opportunity to do this on a Swedish national holiday. We cant control WvW every day, especially not when drunk and/or hungover

TF2! Take all my upvotes.

We enjoy downgrading SM down to wood while being outmanned.

RS awesome sniping team in action ,as you can see they are not much

So… I havent checked this thread in a few days, but it seems it’s still about the same old: every server accusing the other servers of blobbing, when they BOTH/ALL do it. Just stop it already. You all should try staying away from this thread for a few days, then come back. Then you’ll realize how asinine this looks. Makes almost everyone (from all servers) in this thread look like an idiot. Especially the ones posting screenshots of the piechart, trying to brag. Hahhaha

Was amused to be approached by some RS folks the day before yesterday (in RS Borderlands) asking me to go destroy some ACs they’d built deep inside their territory. I decided to pop by just to take a look and sure enough, there were a bunch of folks from RS stood around their northernmost supply base, waiting patiently for me to destroy the siege engines they had built there.

To paraphrase the bard:

“If you’ve hit siege limit I feel bad for you son,
I got ninety-nine problems but your trebs ain’t one.”

I’m sorry, but why does everyone point fingers about who blobs when and why?
I run my guildraid of 10 to 20 people usually separately and I don’t say a single word about that we get roflstomped by the massive RS blobs or the GH zergs (depending on what name you prefer here) that at least have the double numbers of us, but meanwhile when I am not raiding, like last night, I still roamed around with the harmonizer (xp/karma/pain/fun) train, which you might call a blob if you want. (no offence meant, Harm), but everyone on each server has groups of 70 to 100 people, and every server has groups of 10-30 people, and I dont know anyone who hasn’t ever joined one of the blobs, even if it were to fight of the other blob. it just happens, no need to complain about it,

and when you are heavily outmanned and you get the attention of a blob, you must do something right, that they need that many people to get rid of you

that Golden Horde / SPRT raid kicked our kitten really bad yesterday. nice heavy punch you guys got, good team composition, running close together, not going astray during massive fights – i was very impressed. I knew from SPRT of course because they used to play on Gunnar’s, but nice to see other guilds too have taken the vacant seats of the former great piken guilds like Boon Control. I used to see lots of numbers and pugs this week by Piken, being mostly in EB. But yesterday evening on our borderland showed me Piken still have strong guilds standing for them, not just pugs.

It’s a bit disappointing to see how many people are keen to avoid fights until the odds are in their favour(thinking of an [FG] ranger in Piken BL earlier) or people that add to a nice 1v1. Are people that desperate for badges?

Worst of all is the TIA thief that needs to wait until someone has 3 guards on them to attack, you sir are terrible as you still managed to get downed two seperate times while i was fighting you + guards.

Bit of a grumble and yes I know it’s war etc, but seriously, man up a bit people

I challenged a certain GH commander (who is ex-piken) in EB on saturday, instead of 1v1’ing me he brought in his entire GH zerg and made orange swords on me (and all EB knew where GH was heading) (I will not include names but certain people from PS know who I mean)

Agreed Vanash, if I see a 1v1 or 3v3 then I’ll pass by … any more and it gets a bit complicated (I only have so many fingers to count on) and will probably wade in.

Duel spots are good for a raid to build stacks before WvW starts.

ThomasKreshant.6572:

I dislike the concept of ‘duels’ and GvG’s for that matter, any expectation of people to be left alone to have some random e-honour fight while in my path is one in their own heads only.

There are no rules in WvW so play it how you want. However if people don’t respect the way i play the game then they shouldn’t expect me to respect the way they play it.

If I see a small fight ill generally wonder over and /sit. If they then attack me well fine then ill join in if not then ill just watch the fight or, if ive somewhere to be move on.

I’m not a fan of ‘duels’ as such, but if i see an enemy player then i’m going to have a go.

If I’m wandering about solo I expect to meet up with groups and get squished (lol at the need for hammer warriors to mash you when it’s 5+ vs 1 tho ) when I meet another solo player I’d like the chance of a ‘fair fight’ without people jumping in when both people fighting are low health and the fight can go either way.

I certainly don’t ever want ‘duels’, just for people to respect the fact that 2 people are probably enjoying a close ‘real’ fight and might not want you to come steaming in.

I don´t like duels at all on the maps because they make everything so complicated. If i see 2 Players fighting somewhere on the map should i help ? is it a duel or not ? should i let my ally die ? To be honest in open pvp i do not want to bother with such decisions, so to keep it simple, “If it´s red it´s dead” .

And that’s why german servers are the most kitten around :/
was roaming today at night and today afternoon with my mesmer. Even 2vs1 is not a big deal.
Get some brain, w8 till the fight is over and then try yourself. There is nothing great in jumping 3vs1 when the guy is fighting with the other.
You can’t stand that coz german community won’t leave kitten border without 50.
Winning with Piken? just because of covarage. You’re just like mobs to be farmed

I’m attempting to organize some duels tonight,
8pm BST at GH windmill, just 1v1s and small team battles if so desired.
Come join and have some friendly fun!

devitz is back, showing once again his ‘love’ for RS ;-)
First of all you should Not generalize about RS, as you know from personal experience there are some guilds out there, which are not just lootbags, think about it next time when you try to be funny or whatever.

Greets Myrmi

in the end, whatever your playstyle is, WvW is about putting flags in people…

That was fun for us We killed all except that golem, and guy inside don’t notice enemy behind at all for some time. At the end he escaped, we don’t kill him or maybe some random do it.

I personally do not care about score since at the end this will be randomized in some way. There is no point for me to care about that since last matchups update. We (INC) always looking for interesting opend field fights. And in this matchup, it’s almost impossible to find that. From monday I meet only one single ride and only one time from RS side and that was probably [dw] guild, rest it’s just zerged-ac-keep-blob fight. Maybe you enjoy spending all the game time on AC in keep, we not. That’s why this matchup is boring for us.

cool, this must be a very boring morning, or maybe you like wvw without enemies

Devitz.2136:

Did i say something about leaving border only when 50+ ? I only said that in my opinion duelers should find a place where they are alone but your anger seem to be too great to see that. If you do not want to get zerged, find a better place.

Devitz.2136:

Congratulation, you finally managed to understand how WvW works in GW2.

Due to the openness of WvW, everyone has different goals set for himself. A bit like a sandbox, which is awesome. Some like duels, some like GvG (though I’d rather like to see this implemented as “larger-scale pvp”), some like megazerging, and some don’t.

As such, you’ll have to expect different behavior from different players/servers on the field as all these aspects are merged into 4 maps (+jp). As long as there’s no name-calling because someone is unhappy with the opponent’s playstyle, all is fine.

Be afraid Piken. The Asura have landed!

Be afraid Piken. The Asura have landed!

That is just horrifying….. i surrender.

Asura/mini night was quite fun. Until we got roflstomped by both Piken and RS at Bay in PS BL. Seriously, I was ressed, took 2 steps, got crushed again. Couldn’t do a thing, watched my health drop faster than a penny off the Empire State building, couldn’t use Shadow Refuge, nothing. A lot of the other people quit around the same time I did.

All fun and games until the stupid amount of lag makes the game unplayable. I have no beef with RS or PS. None whatsoever; it’s wvw, I expect to be stomped regularly and to stomp people. But I DO have issues with lag. If you look at chat, so did a couple other people.

DTK was not in the bay and the rnds that followed us. the amount of guys that where in bay had to be realy small.

We had 70 people in the mumble channel, a queue on the borderland and a single massive asura zerg. We were the lagg.

Skill lag is why lower tiers are more fun.

Fab: I had ZERO issues with lag roaming around with the zerg and going from place to place, had minimal issues with the small scale fights we picked with random enemy zergs. It was during when we tried to take Hills and took Bay twice and lost it in the end that I had issues with the lag-both from the sheer number of enemies and from all the sparkly special effects. I dearly wish we could turn off spell effects in combat. I regularly get 2 fps at high populated events like wvw zergs. Annoying as heck, yes, but I still want to join in, have fun and kick some Piken and Riverside butt! :p

/salute to the duellists in GH bl’s tonight, especially the RS Asura Mesmer from [Zorn].
