Hi guys !

I firstly posted this topic on the french forum but it appears that no french player can answer me, so here I am and I rely on you.

Few days ago I and some guildmates exchanged some jokes on our TS server and after one of them (someone said that every servers make a blob when it can, and I added “excepted maybe Vabbi”), I have come to wonder : What looks like WvW on Vabbi ?

This is why I call upon you if you play WvW on this server : Tell us (or at least tell me) how you do this.

How many players are you on the same map at the same time ?
What look like your battles and your catches ? Your buses ?
How do you proceed to organize yourself together ? What are your favourite strategies ?
What is your feeling when you face a tower with some weapons inside to protect it ?
Do you have special builds to cap a target with few players ?

Tell us all these things ! I don’t want to know if you think that your opponents are imba or bad guys or not, but I am curious to know the state of mind of an average day in WvW on your server.

So, soldier of Vabbi, tell me your life ! (please)

Hey!
I have been on vabbi for maybe 6 months now, I would say 90% of my time is spent in wvw, I think 30 people at most are in the main group though I can’t say for sure as I stopped commanding the main group a long time ago. If you have any other questions let me know

Vabbi have plenty of Zergs, not as moronic and clueless as FoW ones but Vabbi still have them. Though its better fighting a Vabbi Zerg then FoW as when FoW lose they have ONE response – Bring more people. They never think about changing tactics or plan if they lose of they fail in what they are doing they simply do one thing – call for more people.

Okay, I am from FoW (the moronic Zerg server… lol). When I see a Vabbi Zerg, they are mostly well organized and have soem decent players, who make up for the lack of numbers. Especially in smal scale fights and roaming you can expect to find a good challange by fighting vabbi players. That is at least my over all experience, and there are exceptions of course.

They often stack up a small but effective Zerg and run for completely unexpected targets. So it happens, that we sometimes suddenly lost our BL Garrison or SM.

I won’t comment on the rather absurd post about FoW server, for this thread is about Vabbi.

Because all they do is zerg, when ever you see small groups and you have similar numbers – what do they do? they run to the nearest tower or zerg. Though i have to admit it was funny with like 10 of us trolling your attempt to take QL when you all bunched up thinking you werent spotted the moment some of you popped around the corner we just pretty much wrecked you all

What did you do after that terrible attack? Change tactics? attack from other side? No, you did the EXACT same thing except pulling about another 15+ people.

Sure, you might have some decent small teams, shame thats rare as you lot seem to only do one thing and thats Zerg. It’s funny that most of your server runs the moment things dont go your way, never heard of “fight to the death”?

Whatever, please do the same on vabbi then please.

I almost never see small groups from vabbi, and some from wsr. For me vabbi seems to be mainly thieves and their sneaky attacks, run like hell when they realize I’m not going to die anytime soon.

Is there another server called FoW? Cause this guy is clearly not talking about Fissure of Woe.

@topic: Well one thing you gotta say about Vabbi, they don’t whine near as much as that WSR is whining here about FoW. After a while, falling on your face doesn’t hurt so much anymore. Vabbi and FoW have learned that long ago. WSR still needs to learn it apparently.

The ONLY tactic FoW has is: If Zerg fails, bring more people. MUCH prefer the smaller groups, at least they have tactics and skill. Even if you dont see them that often. The zergs you run are just terrible. Though choking you off at Mine entrance despite that fact that you out number us like 3 to 1 never gets old.

I mean some people would think about going AROUND mine but no you guys, you just try (and fail) to push through.

lol. Abit upset you can’t run in WBC/TEO blobs anymore are we? Somehow FoW became a big bad zerg server even though we have had nobody transfer over to us.

edit: Also, if our zergs are failing so much, why are you complaining? You should be having tonnes of fun.

I never did before, i dont like them and they dont like me due to the fact that i let them and everyone else know. So them running away doesnt bother me.

Like i said your zerg fails, you bring more people and you will rinse and repeat until you win. I have seen it time and time again. Though i guess for you this is a “tactic” though others would i dunno, think of other ways to attack…

I remember the “good” “old” days when w used to have small 1 Vs 1 matches by the camp in one of the servers, they were nice people being respectful and such. Having people from all 3 servers were pretty good even if some times by mistake (once mine lol) it ended up in a crazy mass of maddness lol

I am mainly a roamer. And as far as my experience goes I have seen rarely a decent WSR being able to stand his ground against one or many. I may have just not seen them. Vabbi on the other hand has some decent players, who I respect. Maybe when WSR players get used to the setting, there will grow some decent roamers and some skilled teams. I just don’t see them now…

I kinda miss the old few against many days in FoW… well maybe next matchup we will be overzeregd finally and everything will go back to normal^^

Population wise in WvW it goes FoW > Vabbi > WSR
We hardly get anyone in now, this is partly due to some getting sick of the SAME matchup for 3 weeks running. I go in daily though.

Yeah, and during that happening two [AKP] where upgrading Hills (I was one of them) We then defended several atacks by that same Zerg. First they went desperatly underprepared to north gate, where we made them flee (2 ppl made them flee). Then they build Trebs north of hills, who we destroyed with morters (really?). Then they build Cata on north west wall, who we destroyed with morter (really really?). You should have attacked that morter more, instead of half of u following that ranger (me), who felt “by accident” from the wall. And then they came with 5 golems. Granted, here we needed our Zerg. But then we ran over that uncoordinated Zerg of WSR (about even numbers) and all the money we spend in Hills turned out to be a nice investment for FoW^^.

ArmageddonAsh, stop claiming FoW only Zergs and has no skilled players. We hold your scrubs Zerg with 2 ppl for hours. Then you Zerged up like crazy and still executed it awfully (the pre attack on canons was a good idea, but happened too early). The golems where left allone on the gate, they even pushed in. Apperently they didn’t realize what was happening, while half of your Zerg tried to fight in AC Arrow rain and the other half flew the scenery. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

You, sir, have been served. Your argument holds now value after this evening any more.

Based on the names of the guilds, i am not shocked that you managed to hold them – most of them guilds are PvE guilds that rarely do any WvW, guess they finally got bored of the LS events. I saw like 100 people and 7 commanders doing some, none of the commanders i have ever seen in WvW :/

“You” – not really, as stated they were mostly a bunch of PvE guilds. Quite a few of the so called commanders have blocked me, so it would have been pointless me saying anything any way.

They seem to think that having commander means they are suddenly a good player. When they tried taking Brast i told them that it was going fail, i told them to defend Langor as it was our only way to get Keep back as Brast was heavily sieged and defended

His reply “I am the commander, stop telling everyone what to do” at this point he went on to command TWO failed attempts at getting it, me and a few others held off Langor while calling for help and AFTER Langor finally fell they blamed ME for it at which point he blocked me saying “I hate people that try and disrupt the commander”

The reason our server fails most of the time when there is a zerg, is due to the number of clueless Commanders that think because they have “commanded” in PvE i didnt even think you could that suddenly it means they are good enough for WvW commanding.

So you beat a zerg of PvE players commanded by who was likely a PvE “Commander”…Congrats i guess.

Anyway, back to topic. Compared to last week Vabbi do seem more interested in WvW so have seen more of them recently. Personally havent seen that many Vabbi zergs but when they do happen, there was a few decent fights on WSR map the other night they seems pretty solid

They didnt all try and rush attack either, It was at Greenbair (iirc) thought it was quite good how they not only had the siege going but were doing very well of keeping people away from the tower. They must have had about 10 people SOLELY doing this

While they rest were covering the Siege (something i wish WSR would do!) instead of rushing off, they seemed very disciplined as well not falling for the “Chase us, Chase us” attempts either

well if i had to consider vabbi, i’d say that at the moment they’re doing better than they used to, i see larger groups and in bigger numbers than i used to see before, i remember not so long ago when vabbis where kind of a rare sight and viewing one made me jump in anticipated pleasure. since then i enjoy every vabbi like the rare treats they used to be :p. other than that, vabbi counts some of the most skilled players i’ve seen so far, i got respect for the ones that never gave up, even as underdogs in the underdog server.

So here is my 2 week old story. I missed lauch by about 11 months. Bought this game but never played it. Till recently a friend told me to get my kitten on this game. He chose the least populated server without thinking about my needs (i’m pretty hardcore about pvp). I first grinded my way to 80 and then i got into wvw since that was the reason why i bought this game in the first place.

Jumping into wvw i saw 1 commander with 6 soldiers. There were more but i label them not as soldiers since they didnt do what the commander asked of them. I was still a total noob with all the wvw stuff and so i got crushed by everything. Like all dedicated pvp oriented person i was using all my down time to search to optimize my builds.

Now I’m trying to look more for animations and try to anticipate the enemy’s moves. I’ve realized that capping points is just lost time so all we do is cap one thing and lure the enemy to us and try to farm the enemy. That is our only option. We lack the manpower to have a decent 20-25 man party.
My encounters with FoW were quite intresting. The main zergs are pretty brainless and can be stomped with a small party. Sometimes i come across a real good roamer that just pounds me while all i can do is try to learn from it and not to use block when the other persone just finished his combo. And the other server…. Well let’s just say i don’t see them often. Somehow i get the feeling they don’t really care about vabbi being undermanned they just cap us while we try to fend off FoW. They seem to be the oppotunists of our tier but that is just my assesment from this time period. I have no knowledge about the past troubles so don’t rage on me for your hardships that i don’t know of.

The main point here is we lack players. and as for strategy’s well we can might stack and gate hop. Other than that we rarely can get AC in a tower or keep. Really hard to win as a group of 5-10 man vs a zerg. But keep the spirits high and fight to the death. Atleast our mentality is right Since we have so few but dedicated players we never run. Unless we face a FoW guild zerg thats just suicide.

I’ve only started playing GW2 this summer and have been in Vabbi the whole time.

First off, our players on the whole seem to be of pretty decent quality! Our WvW seems to consist of a relatively small, consistent group of players who regularly show up. After a short while you’ll begin to recognise a lot of the players. Everyone generally works together quite well, people are nice, and some of the commanders are great!

Considering that we’re usually outmanned, we actually do pretty okay. In evenly matched fights our guys do pretty well! Usually when you join the WvW, there’ll just be a few relatively small groups knocking about the place (if even XD ). We can make zergs the odd time, but these don’t compare to the numbers we’re usually up against!

All in all, its a really nice server with some pretty skilled players. Though it really isn’t great if you’d actually like to win once in a while haha.
