Pirate Knights [PK] of Eredon Terrace

While the guild is still alive and well they seems to completely given up on any form of WvW. I definitely have fond memories of my time with them, especially since they are the ones who got me started into doing WvW on a regular basis instead of once in whenever so very saddened to not have them around anymore.

BG and ET, lets work on a community :)

Greetings Blackgate!

Let me preface this by saying I can’t speak for all of ET but I do believe it’s the general sentiment.

Yes, there was much frustration and salt yesterday night. Some of it had to do with queues but most of it was on other issues. We knew full well to expect queues, we just didn’t expect then to be that big and from what I’ve gathered it was unexpected for you guys as well. We were all ready to go and very excited at reset; you guys were just quicker on the draw and that’s fine haha. Seeing as we probably wouldn’t get the chance to play we decided to take our zerg to EotM where we ran into some BG that didn’t leave the best first impression but then again, being a frequent EotM myself I understand they do not represent BG.

Some of us stayed up very late and played heavily (I went to bed at 4am and got up at 7am so I could play with you guys again). I wanted to shave off that first impression and get to know you guys and see how you work. Some of our regular commanders and some irregulars, like me, had the chance to mingle and talk to you guys and I really liked what I saw. From what I can tell with the commanders I’ve followed, we seem to share similarities in style and strategy so I would guess it won’t be too hard to work together. I cannot deny that there are some concerns about playing with the top dogs but you have made us feel very welcome and I am grateful for it.

Blackgate seems to have the same “issues” with your matched server that we had with ours, so familiar ground for us … just bigger, much bigger haha The blob-y but rather squishy server, the pest guilds, etc. Sure, this is gonna require us to make changes to our group compositions and probably the builds we run as well but I’m sure we’ll manage (Those condi blobs doe O.O). I, for one, am liking what I’m seeing and all for building bridges and to the very least give it a chance! While being in your TS we’re already coming up with names for our alliance haha! (Black Eredon or Team TeBG anyone?)

While ET doesn’t bring a huge amount of people to the table (maybe ~50-60 regulars; as in people playing at least once or twice a week), we are persistent, determined and generally good at what we do and we had to. We are accustomed to being outnumbered; after all, it’s one of our motos … “Outnumbered? Yes please!” Most importantly, we are fun loving people who are looking for a fun time in WvW but winning is also nice! Most ET guilds have rallies on Mondays and Tuesdays nights (not counting reset night) and we also have monthly rally weeks where we focus on WvW. We also hold regular PvE, PvP and WvW events that we would be very happy to have you join!

See you in the breach!
Sincerely,
[RZH]Ahoskova (Ahos or Ana)

World Mergers ET to BG

in WvW

Hello BG,

No we do not hate you, it’s just that it is a big change for a lot of us; a change that we are unhappy about. Let me explain why though:

1-Queues: ET hasn’t had to deal with queues in a very very long time; most of us don’t even remember what it feels like :P That in itself was enough to tick people off. Adding to it we understood that we wouldn’t be able to play on Fridays and Saturdays which is when the majority of ETers play so what’s the point for them to play WvW anymore? We had 1 or 2 people lucky enough to make it in at reset and by the time I logged off at 2am we had a grand total of 6 people in.

2-Identity: ET has built quite the community over the years running PvE, PvP and WvW events regularly, having an amazing team speak, great commanders. So, for a lot of us, it feels like that’s being erased overnight as we are now guests to a party we can’t even go to. We spent the evening in EotM…

3-Not what we though: A lot of us thought the world linking system would involve linking servers of similar populations which we would have been fine with (IE merging tier 6,7 and 8 together).

4-A giant middle finger: Furthermore, a good portion of ETers aren’t originally from ET. Some of us come from a diversity of higher tier servers because we enjoy the the game play of low-pop servers even with the drawbacks. Some of us paid real money to get away from high-tier servers so if feels like a giant middle finger from Anet without any consultation on the matter whatsoever.

Sincerely,
Ahoskova, an ETer who’s looking forward to play with BG regardless.

RIP AR, ET, IoJ, Kain, SoR, BP

ET has no intention of going RIP.

Raid Modes Suggestion

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

The OP does bring a valid point I’m afraid. I think we all know that raids will be toned down eventually; it’s not a matter of “if”, it’s a matter of “when”. Why? Casuals; they make up the bulk of any given game and it’s a game developer’s priority to satisfy the majority of players, not the minority.

With the OP’s suggestion they could potentially satisfy everybody; the core of dedicated players gets to have very hard content while the casuals can enjoy a harder-than-normal content. I’m perfectly fine with very hard content having tailored, exclusive rewards like legendary armor for example.

I have to agree that this is a very good suggestion. It’s better than it’s alternative: raids being toned down to dungeon level in 2-3 months because hardly anyone plays them anymore… because at the end of the day, GW2 is a game and is meant to have fun. What is that fun for you is up to you but it doesn’t take long of sitting idle in Verdant Brink to realize most people are not having fun.
