I’ve been trying to work on the diving achievement all day but every time I hit the water my game crashes. Anyone else have this? It doesn’t crash if I just jump off a cliff without the goggles on.
I mean c’mon, it’s a video game.
Bad sportsmanship is just as lame in video games as it is in any other environment.
Bad sportsmanship is also complaining and whining on the forums and accusing your competitors of cheating.
Dude…did you just say SF never got any transfers? OK then.
Sorry, I misspoke, wait… nope, I didn’t misspoke, We lost guilds-we went to T8-we got a horrible first week when the guilds left were running like headless chicken-we got our act together and won every single week by a landslide to get out of T8, from when we lost a lot of guilds to us going up just now, we never got a mass influx of transfers, like I said, most of the guilds playing wvw now were at some point pve mostly, hence why you were doing pvdoor the first week and getting a zerg hit you the next, also why we didn’t had any strategy until now that we need it.
He’s right. We didn’t get tons of new guilds/individuals coming in. You guys should have seen SF a month ago… What we have is a result of hard work to get the server to work together.
I think SF deserves credit when it’s due and us HoDs have to take a look at ourselves after this.
Yes, SF’s numbers are astounding, but they know what they’re doing. They move together well, rez their own promptly, know where to put their siege and know when to pull back as a group. That is what it takes to win in a large-scale war scenario.
Compare it to our own HoD zergs.I’ve seen commanders like Pew Pew, Battlecamp, Aucifer and a few others haemorrhage because their zerg keeps getting glued to PvEing SM castle’s siege instead of taking a camp or lags behind trying to fight and get loot instead of pushing into a keep.
There have been talks last week of HoD being boosted by the transfers and moving up a tier or two but look at us now.
I think SF is an excellent reminder of what the real deal looks like. We’ve been somewhat pampered by the influx of transfers and (to be honest) our tactics in WvW are really sloppy and poor. We clearly need to tighten up our game plan if we want to survive in the higher tiers.
I was there trying to push SF when they had our keep in EB with a similar number to us, but they outfought us. If we were that good as we claimed to be, we would have at least been able to get a camp out of it.
(Shoutout to Lord Kael from [SONG] for that fight yesterday =D)Now that SF are showing the numbers, I hear a lot of whining about them being all about numbers and see a lot of the numbers just disappear now that we’re not stomping around in WvW. It just proves that we have too many casual WvWers.
Bottom line: Without serious WvWers and a night crew, we won’t get anywhere. We need to stop whining and, perhaps, even start learning from SF.
Edit: Before anyone gets offended, I didn’t mean that we (HoD) suck. We’re good. Just not good enough to be pushing up another tier. Yet.
Thank you.
I’ve leveled all my characters in WvW. It usually goes quite fast, especially if you have a guild group together.
