Guild Wars 2

And here I was hoping that the talks about ruin moving to BT were just rumors. The problem with them moving would be them leaving Desolation without night crew. And we all know by now, that however good you may fight at the prime-time, the top server is decided by how much points you can get during off-hours. And we had 2 EU international servers that fit – BT and Desol. Actually, scratch that thing about servers. If you get right down to it, you got 2 guilds who make impact – RUIN, who are, in EU terms, nightcappers and Chaos, who are morningcappers. And for servers to compete, those have to be on different servers. Which is not the case now.

Well, as always, I blame the WvW system.

Probably now top tier will be BT, Vizunah and Elona… and that’s it.

Always nice to see enemies acknowledge you strength. Anyways, I think we will return to the top at some point. For now the game is still young – I haven’t even played it as much as I played SWTOR yet )

FS guilds are not moving to Desolation as far as I personally know. Also, I would like people to stop insulting FS community – we got, in my opinion, one of the greatest atmospheres that anyone can wish for at the international server.

FS have been in T1 for quite a while. When we had 1-day matchups we have been top 1 for a bit, but the thing is, we didn’t have enough time coverage even then – that’s why we were beaten by VS and stayed at the second place. Sadly, VS – an anomaly at first – became standard, and now we got quite a lot of servers playing at night as well as in prime-time. And, naturally, it is a common thing with MMOs these days that many people just play for 1 month, ‘finish the game’ and leave. On every server online is not what it used to be, but for us it made our problem with nightcapping more prominent. That’s all there is to is.

Anyways, haven’t been on yesterday – wanted to fight, but didn’t make it. But for now I am getting nice fight every day during prime-time even, so I can’t complain.

Just to clear this up – GF is not an alliance tag. Chaos guilds on BT all have the same tag, but that’s not the case on FS. We are part of DL alliance which got 4 Russian guilds in it. all with different tags, Green Fire is one of the guilds there. Actually, we have another guild on FS with the same tag – Guardian Force, but they are not part of DL alliance )

Question for ThUn guild – about what happened at Sunday at FS border. When you took bay keep, I, sadly, wasn’t there at the time – I was holding, Elona who attacked our Garrison, so maybe you can help me. Was there a guild with RuNL tag with you? They are a bit of an old acquaintances from one game, and their leader says that they were there at the bridge inside the keep with about 10 ThUn, so maybe some of you can tell – how many of them were there?

Just repaying my Chaos friends with the same coin. Though you can be sure – we will not try to plant our commanders on the 3rd server.

Okay, the thing I will do right now is very low, and I am thoroughly ashamed for it, but one member of Chaos already made a thread where he showed what some members of DL write, so I believe I can response with the same thing. This post is taken from a thread on Goha where DL and Chaos pretty much insult each other, so – business as usual, but this one made me laugh a bit.
http://forums.goha.ru/showpost.php?p=21356482&postcount=1208
If you translate it from Russian you will see that he tells that Chaos International is only a temporary measure and in the end Russians should push all other nations off Blacktide.
Interestingly enough, this is not the official position of Chaos atm, as far as I know it, but this is the mindset of some of their low-rank members, which kinda makes me – as a member of a international server with many great people from many nations – very sad.

Yeah, I actually played Aika a bit during the same time as Chaos – and they also stole all relics there during the night while noone could defend them. Even though there they actually had the strength to fight any other nation during the day. Well, that’s how they play – running from actual battle and boasting about winning.
I too miss desolation. They had people during EU prime time, so we had people to fight with.

Well, I still have no idea what’s the connection. Ruin went to EU to Desolation server, not to ours. Though, maybe you can send some of those other WvW guilds that left that server our way? )

About Chaos spy scandal. On Goha forum members of Chaos denied that it was planned action. However, to my knowledge, this player is not kicked from the guild. Well, that’s what you have with Chaos – they will try everything to win, it is even in their rules. So there are spies watching for our commander marks, there are fake commanders, and they deliberately made their members to go for morning capping to get more points and have less fighting against FS.
In all honesty, I personally would love to ally with Elona, especially yesterday on FS map, when Elona pressed on Bay all day and BT just stole our camps, but then BT got more CiR and UnTh forces (nice guilds, probably best on BT, much better than any Chaos guild in terms of skill) and Elona decided to push on our garrison… and in the end Bay went to BT. And I blame Elona for it!! ))

Well, weekends showed who stands on what position. Now BT will try to morningcap like crazy while FS doesn’t have any online to get ahead. And we will still kick them during the evening.

Was on FS Borderlands today. The day events turned out so that GF went to other map an left me to try and hold FS map. At first there was mostly trouble from Elona, but then CiR and ThUn came to play, and things got quite hard. It was really tiring and frantic to constantly defend Bay from Elona and at the same time lead people to repel the attack from Blacktide and distraction attack from Elona forces. I am quite proud that we managed to hold our ground during most of the day. We lost Bay near the end, but I hope the Commander left on the map will be able to retake it or maybe cause our enemies more trouble in some other way )

Good fight CiR and ThUn – the angle of your attack on Woodhaven… that was something ). And good fight Elona. I didn’t see what tags prevailed in your zerg, but your attacks on inner garrison gate under full protection made me sweat.

Arreyanne,

That’s all well and good, but… did I miss something and Ruin came to FS? I really don’t see the connection..

“Well my server doesn’t have full coverage and thus is losing, better go to the winning server”.

True, and many do that. However, if the server is the one that destroys every enemy during the prime-time (including those winning servers), it would be best to turn it into full-coverage server.

Good fights today. Didn’t havethat much fun for quite a while. It is a real shame, that BT main strength is, again, not on our prime-time, would have been really interesting to measure real power. Oh well, when I left we were leading.

Btw. Maybe you can help me – I believe I saw one guild on blacktide with tag CiR (if I am not mistaken). Few hours ago they tried to push our defense on Redbriar tower. I gotta say, when those guys came in force, I actually felt a difference. Chaos could just be scared away from the tower, but CiR (again, if I am not mistaken) just did not let go! Very good enemies in my opinion.

No, 10 more nights to go. We will have each other for a while still.

Bart.5023:

I find it strange that FS dont have any us guilds on their server, they are clearly the best day time server in whole eu and if they got a night crew, they would be 1 in eu for sure.

Well, there could be different reasons. For example, Desolation was always known as more ‘England’ server. While FS was known Scandinavian/Russian server. That may scare off some potential allies, cause they may unjustly think that we got Russian/Dutch talks in chat. Maybe some scouts from other servers came on FS on Friday, and we are playing very casually at that day if the result of the match is already set. And another reason can be that not many big WvW US guilds are looking for a good EU server yet. I mean, I can believe that people FR servers are mostly Europeans and just have no real life. For now Desolation is a single server that is, for sure, got big help from US – and it really shows with them going back to top tier. For next people from US, looking for a good fighting, FS should be more obvious choice.

(since this is already 8pm in moscow (you have no summertime)).

Not exactly, no. I believe it goes like this:
I live in Ukraine, and I am 1 hour closer to GMT-0 than Moscow. Right at this second, while I am writing this, I have 17.13 on my clock. That means that Moscow still got only 18.13 = 6.13 pm.
Otherwise it is correct – 8 pm Moscow time pretty much starts Russian prime-time, and a few hours later we get our main server prime-time with majority of EU players joining in on WvW.

suprNovae,

Well, that would be a valid point if it would be valid. The problem is not about ‘Canadians’. I have to know that it makes no difference who is nightcapping. There’s only the fact that some servers have that. In particular – 3 mono-national servers at top tier. I really do not care who is playing your night – Canadians of French. Though, if exactly the same people play at night AND and day time, then I kinda worry about your real life and/or you drinking too much coffee.

We, on the other hand, do not have strong night time crew. Not yet, at least. If there would be many enough EU players fighting through the night on our server – well, that would be great. If there would be some EU guilds oriented on night-time game, that would come to us – sure, also great. But it would be easiest for US time-zone guilds to fill that gap, cause that way they would not have to overstretch – they would play at their prime-time, and we would play at our prime-time, and server would get all day prime-time without people getting insane from sleep deprivation.
Again, I really do not care what nations are playing on what server at what time – Europeans, Canadians, Russians, Americans, Mexicans, Chinese, Maya Indians or Space Aliens. No difference – all that should matter for each server is time zones coverage.

Archaos,

I’d like to know, at what time are you usually playing. If you use US prime time to measure EU servers – well, you are totally right. Also, that means you are doing something wrong.

The reason you ‘crushed’ us by 40000 points is called nightcapping here. That’s why you people left US servers – cause it got just as bad there, from what I heard.

I can even tell you right now why we didn’t lead as much at Sunday daytime as we did at Saturday – it is stated at Desol-FS-Kodash thread – Balkan Legion, it seems, decided not to fight on Sunday cause of futility of fighting nightcapping. While I personally don’t approve of that, and I would rather fight still during my time, even if it is a losing battle overall, that explains why we didn’t get too far ahead at Sunday and why you had SM during the day. Not because your server got better overnight, but because major part of our forces wasn’t present.

So yes, if you take equal conditions (which never happens at war, I know) we are stronger all around. If you measure strength by WvW system – you are stronger. If you take EU prime-time, as it was explained in the same WvW thread – again, we are stronger.

But hey. In a few weeks you will get to tier 1, and when you will be there… well, let’s say that if you will do good at EU night time and fail at EU prime-time… I will have to chuckle a bit.

Why would we? We got stronger prime-time people than Desolation. So it would be logical for us to stay where we are and get people for night time here.

Okay, I didn’t write anything here yet, but I might as well now that the weekends are over.

First of all, I saw one person here talking about Russian nightcapper – that person is high and should be ashamed of himself. While we really would like to do that, we can’t cause we got jobs, families and (the horror!) real lives in general to deal with. If someone would pay me to fight online wars – I would make that my day job and night job too.
Actually, we do have people on the server playing at night, trying to stay up as long as they can. But, 1) this is not Russian initiative, it is being organized by our European allies, and 2) it is being made in response to nightcappers, not the other way around. I do believe that on Saturday night that crew was active through the night, and they said that our server did well up to 5 am. I don’t know if they were doing night time during Sunday night, but the results we got speak pretty clearly.

Now, I played this weekend for quite a while, at Kodash map on Saturday and mostly on Desolation map on Sunday. I will say that overall we got better points at Saturday, so Deso probably played harder that day. in terms of pure strength during day time, I’d say Desolation didn’t change much. Sure, they got more enthusiasm now that they have people to try and get into tier 1 nightcapping fight, but when you get down to it – I didn’t feel any change from when FS fought them in that very tier 1. Yes, they got strong zerg, when they gather it together, but that’s pretty much it.
Kodash I never met before, and I was pleasantly surprised – you guys know how to fight using your head and all the resources you got. While against Deso it was just pushing or containing their zerg, I can right now remember 3 gret moments against Kodash – 1) Saturday, Kodash BL, the amount of siege you had on your orb, and how many tried we had before getting it, 2) Saturday, Kodash BL, 4 trebs protected by catas and hidden way beyond the edge of the cliff that pounded on our keep from garrison. That constant treat was tiring, but it was a good fight, 3) Sunday, Desolation BL, when you used both stealth tactic and distraction attack to get Garrison from us. That was a really good move.
So, in my opinion, Kodash is harder opponent than Desolation. Well, with WvW system the points our servers got right now do not show this, but hey, nothing can be done about that, I guess. At least it is interesting during prime-time for me, so I will be looking forward to the time I get from work today.

Kodash is alright too. Saw you yesterday holding Desol at Woodhaven. But in the end – everything is painted by Desolation night crew again. So the thread is still very much relevant.

Go and make your own threads!

And for all who rules on prime-time… Sure, there are many servers like that. Even servers in the lowest tiers – some of those rule against their opponents. In the lowest tier.
But FS, during the prime-time, kicks every server our there – starting from VS – and that is considering nightcappers, who had time to upgrade everything and put siege, which we have to break through. So right now we are the best server to put good strong nightguard on.

Whine on nightcapping? I can say right now that all servers in top tier, except for ours, are there because of nightcappers. This here thread is to solve exactly that problem and to make those nightcappers whine that we don’t let them nightcap, see?

Well, the game is still young enough. I know that some US guilds transferred on Euro, but on on FS. So yeah, we now got official thread about that very thing:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/FS-inviting-US-and-Latin-American-guilds-to-conquer-the-EU-top-spot-and-Eurpeans-welcome-too/first#post461739

EDIT: I can remember 2 threads about that very thing in the past. But those were posts from single users. This one we got now, that I linked, is more serious and to the point. And from a leader of one of FS alliances, which is the main thing )

We got really great community on FS and no shortage of enemies at any time. So we got the best fighting among all European servers. During all times. We really would be glad to welcome people who are able to cower our night and morning time and who are dedicated to fighting strong enemies just like we are.

Both of them have the same forum names on goha.ru, and are known there for being haters and trolls. First one is known to be from that guild and the second one is from the same server. And his attitude and the specific of that server makes me about 99% certain that he is from the same guild.
Anyways, this thread is nothing more than people who don’t like us trying to troll us outside of goha. Which makes me sad, but what can you do?

I know the main reason why other russian players dont like you – you are arrogant trolls.

And there you go, you can meet another Russian who tries to bash others, successful, Russians. Interesting fact – he and Petrichor are from the same guild.

The only problem it was a silent leading. Where they were talking to eachother (probably via TS) while the rest of us were just following them. It kinda worked.

Well, yes, that is the problem. Actually, I can tell you right now that it is so not only for Russian guilds. I saw other organized raids, and they, while doing a good job and being organized, also were pretty silent, never saying where they go.
Now, I am in GF, so I can talk on behalf of GF only, and I can say, that GF tries to work on that problem. Actually, it is my exact job to, while I am with GF raid, to coordinate and explain to others what our plans are. And that helps, cause unaffiliated players add a lot of power to the raid.
But anyways, that is the discussion for other topic, I think. Maybe even not for this forum either.

The score part is off but so i’m going by what the other guy translated because the context fits.
It is said by the Greenfire person which I guess is part of the alliance.

To understand this in full context, you would have to translate like 100+ pages of angry arguments on goha.ru forums, which is like a central station for Russian MMO community. You know, the main argument of people who don’t like us there (and the Petrichor is one of them) is that we – DL – do not do anything on FS, and are being pulled up by Scandinavian guilds. After months of such trolling and other insults, it is no wonder, that people would start to respond in a similar manner.
That’s really all there is to it.

Well, what do we have here? Oh dear. I believe there is some explaining in order. You see, this guy – Petrichor – is also Russian. But he is not on FS. He is from one of the Russian guilds on other EU servers. And let me tell you, many such guilds – and, naturally, people in those guilds – do not like Disorder League. Because we are strong, much stronger than they could ever hope to be. and they can’t even get their servers high enough to meet us. So the only way they could try to hurt us is by spreading posts like this, taking things out of context and riling people up.

Now, I personally do believe that DL is the strongest alliance on the server at this time. But every person with some brains would also know, that one alliance alone does not equal server. You can be sure that DL never thought of FS as of ‘Russian server’. FS is an international server, with many alliances and separate guilds representing many nations working together. And believe me (and if you are on FS and we fought against our enemies together, you know that), I know what I talk about and I mean what I say.

So. Please, do not listen to Petrichor – he does not mean well for DL, obviously, out of jealousy, and acting so he also does not mean well for our server. Don’t go believing him and thinking that what he insinuates is actually what DL means.

Malpractis.4653:

EDIT: In most servers, your comment about the PuG’s being a majority of the force would be true. But, let’s be honest. Whatever BL you choose to be on is comprised of about 70% GF at the time. We find ourselves saying “Nice, GF just showed up to help us defend this tower” moreso than “Nice, here comes a GF commander with a PuG to help us defend this tower”.

Well, saying ‘GF commander with a PuG’ would not be a good thing to say and may offend some guildless people following me, so I am glad it’s not being said.
But what you say is also not completely true. On any given map we got… what are the max numbers for people from one server on the map? 166 or 200? Well, even if it’s 166. On days when we have obligatory WvW events we usually have 30+ people on the map, sometimes more, depends on how many managed to get through the queue. There are never more GFs on map than there are other people. And those other are divided into pugs and organized groups, as I said. And in the end, during our prime time, I usually got a bit (or a lot sometimes) more people on me than we have in GF raid.
GF are organized better, naturally, with voice-chat and all, so they can fight better as a whole, and when they rescue some tower, people there just see a big group all with the same tags, so they say that GF saved them. But in turn it’s GF-raid leader who asks if my side of the map okay or if I got enough people following me to defend or retake some or the other tower. It just happens in voice chat, so people don’t see it.
For now, my best experience was taking west keep, and that was done by combining GF a pug forces. And if was truly an epic siege too, with us holding our position in front of central inner gates, repelling attacks from all sides. And that keep would not be taken by GF or by pug forces alone…

But anyways, I think I wandered a bit off-topic here. Commander should try to organize zerg on himself, but he should aim to coordinate with other major powers AND to try to improve organization inside the zerg. Now that I think about it, if commander is good with tactics, many people will pick up on things he’s doing and, when he’s not around, use the same tactics themselves. And it all pretty much goes back to commanders ability to communicate.

Well, that is a thing. On my server I know 2 guys who just donated to get the 100g. They were like ones of early commanders, they both thought that they, having the badge now, will lead everyone to glorious victory, and they both couldn’t do anything. One couldn’t understand tactics at all and the other raged on people for not doing things he wanted.

In the end, commander badge is not a toy, it’s big responsibility. And I think, people will remember commander who lead better than others, and they will know if that one should or should not be trusted.

In my opinion, commander’s job is to organize people who are not organized. Because big guilds do not need badges to lead them, and even smaller guilds that are organized usually have their own TS and run as an organized groups. They may chose to join commander or not. But main aim of commander are people who are alone, do not have guilds or just don’t sure what to do. Those will see commander’s mark and those are most likely to follow it. At the same time, those people are the hardest to use tactics with. Some don’t even read the chat where commander tells what needs to be done, they just run after the bug blue mark (believe me, I checked). Not all of them, not most of them even, but some. But those are the people that commander should take and lead while coordinating with raid from organized big guilds.

You know, good thing about the whole thing is that commander mark really doesn’t give you any superpowers automatically. You spend 100g, but you don’t turn into tactical genius. And if commander is not good enough, people will criticize him and after few times he will become better or stop trying to lead at all.

I will use Green Fire(GF) on the Far Shiverpeaks server as an example. They move like machines. Rarely, if ever, have I seen one travel alone, or NOT move in complete sync with one another. If their commander says jump, they are already in the air before he finishes the word.

Ah, thanks for using us as an example. We do have strict coordination, and make full use of voice-chat. And that is the reason GF itself doesn’t need the commander badge. Everyone knows who the current raid-leader is, and they follow him and his commands.
The thing is, GF still bought commander books, and gave it to people inside the guild for the very purpose of gathering non-GF people on the map and leading them with their raid or as a separate raid with the coordination with the GF raid. PuGs are usually in a majority on the map, so they are a major force.

You do realize, that people, in addition to sleeping, also have to sit at work where they can’t play? Or is it just sleep or play for you? Actually, it is exactly why many people are active on forum – because they can’t play at the moment. When they can – they, naturally, do not post. Well, at least that’s what applies to me and I expect it to be so for others.

Also, don’t try to act like you are making things right. You respond to people whining by whining yourself in the same manner? How does that help anyone or makes your server better? VS population can whine just as good as FS population, that is already proven. You can do that even better, cause people from VS made up some really wild and crazy theories about the times when you lost.

Talk about things that are real, don’t try to diminish your opponent and don’t call people names just for the sake of name-calling. Otherwise you are just as bad for your server as the people from FS who only whine are bad for us.

Can’t say about the Borderlands with Nugos. I am from GF, and we were at VS Borderlands, and we had a lot of fighting there throughout the night. I think Nugos were at Desolation Borderlands… and I don’t know about that one, but I think, at night I heard about us actually failing at FS Borderlands. So it all evens out.

Now, the talk about FS nightcapping coming from VS just sounds dumb. Again, Disorder League had a full 48 hours event from right after the rotation. So during the night and during the day we provided about the same effort. Now, I personally was right at the start of the fight, at night from Friday to Saturday, on VS Borderlands. And I can tell you that we fought no PvE there. We fought the usual French night players, I think. And it was not very easy. Easier than later during the day, but it was not by any change a nightcapping. Fair fight if you ask me. During the day time VS offered better resistance and, it seemed, better coordination. After we finished our event… well, yeah, whole map got green and we have what we have now here on forum. Oh, btw, today is the free day for GF, so we weren’t going to WvW in full force.

But that’s all is beside the point. The point is, both sides act shameful. I am sad to see people whining about how we cant beat VS both here and on FS chat. Those people drop our own morale, make other people stop trying. Which is bad for everyone in the long run.
But you French people aren’t off the hook too. From the previous weekends (when we also had an event and got the first place in 1-day rotation) I heard about loads of crazy talk on French forums. I heard about FS becoming allies with Desol, I heard about FS guilds with fake tags (I have no idea how they came up with that one), and now you try to spin a story about us nightcapping. Honestly…

The state of WvW at the moment.

Fear the rage of 500 Canadian Jews!

It is a joke, just so you know it. Though the state of WvW is the real screen.

Makes me sad seeing insults and accusations here… why can’t we just kill each other in peace?

Since restarts will be once a week now, the whole point about getting people in right after it is mute now. Sure, we did that when we started our event.

I’d say we all got problems with queues. And because of those things we can’t put full strength of Disorder League versus full strength of Grand Cross, for example. And that would have been interesting to see. Oh well, the game is still very young and those are the cards we are given for now. Gotta play with those.

Well, the whole FS war effort is only possible with everyone doing their part. DL did 48-hour event, yes. We worked hard. But we are not the only alliance there, and TNA fight hard too, end even more – since there are always guildless people or small guilds on WvW, they also play the part in our victory (and I do say that the result of a weekends as a win, yes )).,

GF is pretty much warring on Vizunah Borderlands, and we saw some really good people there. One guy, while helping defend Sunnyhill, put up a treb there and built it himself. He did 10 supply runs from Dreadfall Bay to Sunnyhill! Other organized defense with artillery on the bridge near Bluebriar. While we worked as a main strike force, others helped with both attack and defense.

The ones who are bad are those who complain. And we have few of those even on WvW maps, taking space. Oh, and a few people who donated to get commander book, but can’t organize people at all or just messing things up even.

Well, I can support Troma in this – we had some mighty fun on the weekends. Our alliance – Disorder League – had an full-scale WvW event right after the servers changed and straight for 48 hours. Naturally, I didn’t play all that, but I’ve seen enough epic fights during that time. During that time we pushed back both Desolation and Vizunah Square. I especially liked how we held between Cragtop tower and VS garrison – we had a great fights going there often, right in the field. No artillery, no walls, just pure carnage.

The downside of this is that VS indeed can put out a lot of people during the night time even on workdays, so they got back all we won over. I’d say they were even more eager to leave us absolutely nothing because we won the weekends. Kinda shows that we got that server scared. Which is a nice thought. But the whole situation does create threads like this…

Personally, I would not mind having a few American guilds on FS, or just a few guilds of total no-lifers that would cover for our night time. But right our server always have good fights waiting on WvW and I am sure that FS feels that they can’t relax too, even on their first place. And that’s the main goal in MMO for me – to always have good enemies available.

Well, saying all that – then I get back from work today, I will kill ye all French people!

Also, yes, if you are part of the organized FS guild or want to find one, do visit the site. This is the place for inter-server communication and you can find TNA and DL there.

Oh come on, this again? People, whining about having too tough enemies makes us all look bad. So, VS got a lot of people during night-morning time. What does that mean? Exactly that. Who cares if they got Canadians? I don’t think they do and I don’t really care. They are extremely populated server, and we have to deal with it.

What we should do is try to play more during other hours. It’s that simple. Also its’ that hard, cause many of us got jobs, life and other things to do. But we should try. Whining would bring us nothing, except other servers would laugh at us. And we are the 2nd server in Europe! What do we have to cry about?!

Why can’t we start being civil among servers and kill each other in spirit of good sportsmanship? =)

Got no problem with that animation. I’d say I do like it. Makes out stand out among others, looks nice. I know people who disliked it so much, though, that they rolled norns and not charrs. Oh well.

Hello there. I am from Far Shiverpeaks, and I am a soldier from the Green Fire guild. Yes, GF, part of the Disorder League alliance. Our server is the one on 2nd place among Euro servers, and we are the ones fighting with Vizunah Square the most.

First of all, yes, it is frustrating to come home from work and see VS being 40k+ points ahead of us. That kind of gap is almost impossible to overcome, especially now when we got 1-day RvR rotations. It is hard, and for some it is mentally taxing, as you can clearly see in this very thread.

However, we do not hold any grudges for VS having constant prime-time. That’s just the kind of server they got, and I think they are already paying for that with having to wait in a really long queues. And that is the worst thing out there – to have to wait for a long time before going into battle. And really, there’s no real difference if they got Canadians or just a lot of French no-lifers. I personally believe Troma when he tells they have no Canadians, cause he is a good enemy, worthy of respect, and I see no reason for him to lie.

For now our server firmly holds the 2nd place. We once had a 24+ hours event in Disorder League during which we got the first place, though after that the resistance from VS became truly fierce. During our prime-time we got the best fight Euro servers can offer – we fight with number 1 and with the server that got 3rd place for that day (Desolation or Riverside). Actually, if we would be the 1st server right now, we would still have the same enemies.

Anyways, I pretty much like it that way. We got enemies that are hard to beat, and they offer good fight at all times. I also saw here talks about how we – Russian alliance – run in a closed zerg with no communications with other people. That is not true. It’s just, when we have a raid, raid leaders have close to no time for typing in general chat. They have to constantly monitor many things at once and to control our raid (and believe me, it’s not as simple as ‘run left, run right, rush!’). When I get in WvW I try to coordinate with other people in general chat. Other do that too. So it all works out.

Anyways, don’t whine about how strong VS are. We all know that already. Join the fight and help beating them!
