Guild Wars 2

Tier stagnation needs to happen.

Look at all the NA servers that are above BP. At one point in time they were the bandwagon server of the week.

The servers in the lower half of the tiers, do not have the population to be competitive with the upper tier servers.

This would be a great time for Anet to break up the NA servers into 2 distinct tiers.

Step 1: Learn how the new match-up system works.
Step 2: Read the forum ToS.
Step 3: Abort pointless, unnecessary, and ToS violating petition.

Step 1, think before you post
Step 2, don’t post.
Step 3, delete pointless post.

troll clause, troll posts trumps above steps.

Sometimes, I get the feeling I’m the last guy left on AR
Doesn’t help I’m a part of the elusive “night crew”.

Still here.. and yea, even our prime time group is looking rather slim.

GSSBlunaspike.4153:

Do we really want another round of X weeks with ebay? Keep winning and that’s what we will get. Like 2 more weeks, it’s boring. Already on course to go against servers that outnumber use by a pretty big amount.

You guys talk a lot of smack when your winning against smaller opponents, but the moment it looks like you’ll get a challenge, you tuck tail and run.

Typical BP.

we’re not sandbagging. most of us enjoying this matchup. yea we are losing but AR never really cared about the score. The fun is in all the smaller fights and skilled roaming we can find.

so, AR has gotten matched up against DH and HoD this week. this may or may not be a good thing if you’re trying to get your rating to go down. it’s a good thing if you can coordinate well and ensure that everyone sandbags. it’s a bad thing if this brings out your fairweathers to try to do well this week.

This isn’t even sandbagging. You’re seeing real Anvil Rock.

reset nights has always been our weak point. we’ve been over 200ppt ever since we woke up and retook our BLs.

Lets see how it goes the rest of the week.

if AR wants to maintain their current rating of 1326, they need to get a score that’s 1.43 times as big as DH’s score, and 2.12 times as big as HoD’s score. to make the math easy, makes sure your own score is bigger by half than DH, and at least double HoD’s.

if AR wants to reduce their rating to 1100 (a bit over HoD’s 1088) or 1200 (a bit under DH’s 1215) they have to come in well under these par scores. I don’t have time to calculate right this moment how much under. maybe later.

edit: I just took a look at mos.millenium.org. if you want to end up with a rating in the neighborhood of HoD’s, keep doing exactly what you’re doing now, because you’re well on target at the rate you’re going. then next week you should be getting the same kinds of matchups HoD has been getting, which may be a perfect fit for your small-group playstyle and current lower population.

-ken

If we can lose 100 points and put some distance between us and T5 , it will go a long way to help start the reset process.

It may only but 80ish or so come Thurs, but its a start.

what is up.. i for for for got to loot your bags ~ ~ ~ wuauaahhhhh :0
{anime reference}
hello strange opponents..
i slept through reset night, but will get back to you..
as for the guy who spotted our “zerg” in the skritt caves, it’s called a karma train.. your players do get personal WvW points for that y’know?

i completely agree with Dovgan.. the only thing i’ll miss of [als] is the money they spent on upgrades.. our server just needs to reconstitute itself

and apologies to my fellow tyrians.. i’ve been spending less time on this game now that staff elem is So broken and irrelevant at this point

Well ALS is perfectly happy without you missing them. 630PP 200+ badges in 3 hours… good luck in tier 8 =P.

You know smuurrrrrrrr, its perfectly ok to leave a server and not making a complete kitten of yourself while doing it. Trolling your old server is one way to avoid that.

classy.

Dear Anet,

Thanks.

Dragonbrand:

Just like any other server their pugs zerg. Eternal is the same crappy mess it is everywhere else. The only things to note are the NA guilds (rB, BP, FIRE, and tg…I think). They have split up in their guild groups before and attempted multi-guild coordinated strikes. Unfortunately it was not very coordinated and they showed no regards to our forces movements. Needless to say, they accomplished all of nothing that day (Monday). So in terms of inter guild coordination, it is very lackluster from what I have seen.

Roaming is not extinct but the fights are few and far in-between. Most players will run on sight if they do not either outnumber their foe or have at least a 30 man zerg behind their backs.

Coverage wise you will enjoy having one of the strongest Oceanic presences currently available. There just is no competition for it until T1.

Johje Holan.4607:

I’ll sign. At this point I’m getting really worried about the ratings gap that is being created by the new system. I’m fearing that we (SBI) may be stuck with BP and AR a lot.

Now imagine that same fear if you are AR, the smaller of the 3 servers. Not fun.

The ratings gakitten uch that AR/BP/SBI matchup is the MOST likely matchup for each server , every week.

repeat of EB/BP/AR’s 10 week match-up.

blah…

Thanks.

Just trying to get a feel for the mess I’ll be getting myself into if I head over there. As both Ebay has faced AR and DB i figured you guys could give an honest opinion of what DB has to offer in terms of a WvW environment.

So far from what I’ve heard from several sources, is the same, zergy blobby tactics with no skilled group/guild to speak of.

bleh.

Snowreap.5174:

the new matchup system will allow you to move to your new “proper” ranking much more quickly than the old system would have, so I don’t think ArenaNet will need (or more to the point, want) to make any manual adjustments.

it’s kind of late in the current match to make a big adjustment, but if you can tell me what server you think you’d be competitive with, I’ll tell you what you need to do scorewise to match your rating to theirs.

-ken

old system. Anvil rock spent 10 weeks in T5 matched up against BP/EB.

New system, first 4 weeks, same rank (15) still in T5 against BP/SBI.

All AR needs is 1 week out of T5, one week vs 2 lower ranked servers to start the adjustment of our glicko rating.

Every week that AR stays in T5, is another week it bleeds players.

Right now I would say our rating could drop 200 points before it evens out.

Snowreap.5174:

are the [ALS] who are already on Dragonbrand just scouting then? we’ve seen them on DB already (EB is playing DB and SoS this week).

-ken

That’s our advance group. Some folks couldn’t wait and head over early.

airstu.2579:

lani.7431:

Please stop continuing rumour of DB being in turmoil. Something started by forum trolls who feed on drama. If you are not on this server it is not your place to make a judgement. Our core continues to be as strong as it ever was.

Maybe before you took on ALS….

not all of ALS is leaving.

welp. Looks like ALS will be moving outta AR sometime soon. Bah.

To the Ebay crew, can I get your honest opinion of the Dragonband NA crew.

Thanks.

grifflyman.8102:

I spent 8 hours attacking BP’s borderlands. We had some truly epic fights. The hills battle on the bridge was amazing! We were also getting spawn camped by AV.

I wish we could get more people on SBI into WvWvW, it’s 4 am here and we would be lucky if we could fill a full map.

You had like 60+ people in our BL hitting hills and getting nowhere and you want MORE people?

Whats wrong with that? If BP can play the "moar,bigger,better’ zerg, so can they.

Did i hear that SBI are good on EB..?
Ehh, thanks for SM and your keep

About 11PM PST is when we have the masses logging off. So gratz on hitting us during our downtime.

I would love to see more screenshots of it.

P.S. Take our EB keep during NA primetime. If you want to brag, why not actually take it when it requires a whole lot of skill? Or just continue waiting for us to logoff to actually have anything to brag about. xD

Incorrect once again sir
Actually, you matched us with numbers, however after we whiped you multiple times, on your own borderlands, we took bay, and many of you logged off, but were still not outmanned. Then we took garrison, with a decent number of defenders challenging us, then most of ya’ll RQ and logged, the others went to eb, so we took your home, then went to EB and your eb team went back to your BL with 20+ we then took your eb keep and SM, you took Garri back, we went back to your own borderlands, whiped 20+ at inner hills, took garrison back, and once again you’s all gave up.

Its not a matter of numbers or “night capping”. Its a matter of communication, and playing smart. Also i logged about 2 hours ago, so that’d probably be why you have all your stuff back by now (if you even do..)
check out the screen shots below btw.

Wait what? a BP troll saying its not about numbers it’s about skill? no wai! !

lol.

ACs and ballistas in an open field fight on south bridge…

just when you thought this match up couldnt’ get any more cheesy..

So your saying get comfy in T5.

Haha – I laughed so hard when I saw this because it’s true. If you switched all the names around the thread is almost identical. Don’t worry SBI don’t feel bad – they rolled us with superior tactics as well.

It’s a coverage game, and always will be a coverage game.

LoL.

The way BP is talking, one would think they spent 13 weeks rolling REKz and Ebay into T6.

-retook Garry.
-upgraded Garry

-retook Hills.

Everyone had fun, high fives all around, good night of WvW. What happens after I tag off, isn’t my concern. I’ve commanded 3 nights this week, all fun and successful for our side.

dooshberry.:

Oh boy where to start…nutz, you say BP always underestimates our numbers and such, that was a lot more than 9 people attacking and trebling bay especially since their were orange sword multiple times…Kodaick your charm and wit prettty much exemplify what most people love about AR and ALS….lmfao at “wiping” us between bay and garri, its not a wipe if half of us run back to bay . occasionally coming in bay and killing a few forward scouts? Ya that’s definitely wiping us, maybe when we tried to ac the teens down first was only time we wiped, every other time we ran back to bay, well half us , the other half was dead. most of the time all I saw when we mustered the courage to charge was the big ole backs of ALS , followed by us running back to bay as we realized they were stringing us away from Bays comfy walls. how long did hills take you to get back last night? And oh ya sorry like 60-70 people hitting it with omegas and alphas along with regular siege and the keep that’s opposite of our spawn making us have to choose to run out from behind Bays walls or sit and wait for help with SBI attacking us when trying to get in the south, great job there just fantastic I doubt BP could ever do that…

Fixed.

And I’m sure BP could figure out how to counter my strat, just not as long as you are in charge.

Fun times today in AR BL. With even numbers, you guys couldn’t taken back bay that had 0 supply which also was getting treb from garrison. But at the same time SBI was attacking briar and vale for a long while. But we still held our ground.

Kudos to all those at BP that helped and held Bay. Especially when we had to risked it pushing into AR’s treb. If AR knew how to defend those treb properly and wiped us in the process, it woulda been game over for us, luckily they didn’t.

Of course they were even numbers, about 15 min ago there was 9 AR at garri moving on bay, and 4 when you had the AC and balista up. Maybe that changed in the 15 min it took me to drive home from work, but the very fact that you felt the need to say even numbers shows you were insecure about that fact. But I will give credit where it is due, you held off 9 ppl, you should be proud.

lol. wut? He was talking about 3am WvW? what the hell BP! You guys brag about day capping our BL and defending bay @ 3am vs 15 folks… what next? bragging about flipping our upgraded camps?

No serious attempt was ever made on Bay. We were using Bay as a farm. Did you notice how many times we wiped you between Bay/Garry? The attacks on Bay were there to keep you low on supplies and focused on Bay. Meanwhile, I dunno.. we took Hills.

Fun times in ARBL tonite, high five to all involved. Commanded for 4 hours straight and enjoyed every minute.

Special call out to my loyal zerg who followed me all night, without you i’m just a guy with a blue hat.

And yet BP has the lowest population of the 3 servers (we will be medium again in a couple days) we just know how to manage our server, we keep people entertained through 20 omega golem rushes, pink Zergs (expect a pink Zerg Thursday night, don’t die to it
BP has a low server population but still trumps you guys in wvw numbers (but not by too much, but enough to manAge with)

Our teamspeak is the first and foremost reason with o success in numbers, broadcadting surround sound music in a ts channel while able to listen to everyone at the sme time really keeps people up late, it excels the servers longevity and keeps everyone entertained, 90% of the server uses our teamspeak, once they join it they never leave.

Most BP can’t count to 60.. or past 10 for that matter. Everything past 10 is 60 or omergerd zerg….“how many?” 60!

Heres the problem, go read the BP forums (most of it is a pretty funny read) according to these forums we play for second, according to your forums we shouldn’t be hitting BP even though they are in first because what did you do to deserve it. I’m just curious now … who exactly are we suppose to hit so no one is offended ?

I did enjoy the “ALS commander using hacks to cap their BL” thread, even when another BP pointed out the placement of the AC works people deny it.

Awww. there is teh Kalkz we all know and love.

http://borlis.org/forum/m/7734425/viewthread/7489867-ar-commander-used-hack-to-cap-all-their-bl

and yes, you guys need to learn to peek over the gate and hit stuff on the other side. You know, the stuff folks used to do waaaaay back before zoom hax became the cool new toy.

The AC placement on the inside is placed to hit the gate, so they have a hard time peeking over . This gives the guys on the outside the advantage of placing ACs just close enough to the gate but just outside all the red circles to peek over and hit the ACs on the inside.

Its a lost art, and since only the Commander has enough opportunities to learn from trial and error, that very few folks learn how to counter properly.

Decided to take a few minutes to check this out since I’m specced into ACs.

I’m standing where the AC operator was and there’s no absolutely no way to angle, and fire, an arrow cart barrage centered on the stairs northwest of the gate, as shown in the left edge of the second screenshot.

Can you explain how to do this?

Can’t right now, no access to Bay at the moment. However he is on the correct side of the gate (left) to be able to angle over to the right side.

You know, when our two most recent opponents that have faced both BP and AR are saying the same thing. You might want to figure that there is something to what they are saying.

Consider what you are saying: 90% of BP is a mess and that mess is beating both AR and SBI. Either a server is fighting well against a good opponent or getting hammered by an unorganized mess making said server ineffective. I simply don’t believe AR or SBI to be any less effective or more organized than BP hence the score being so close.

Since the lower tiers are more PUG than organized guilds, everyone around here is messy some of the time. We all have zergs running on our servers in this tier at different times of the day, we all have skilled skirmishers and we all have to fight out manned frequently.

There is no dishonor in admitting an opponent is worthy… there is dishonor in the opposite.

wow. some things never change. that’s a long winded way of using the tired ol BP line, “we’re not bigger than you, we’re just better”

Guess what. 90% of your success comes form fielding a larger force than your opponent. That holds true for every server in every tier. Yet somehow, magically, this does not apply to BP. And that’s your main problem. Every BP troll that has graced this forums has come across and a clueless nub that can’t admit that they win because they have more …. 8 months or so later BP still thinks it wins due to skill.

We are winning, and have the outmanned buff for awhile now on eb.
Um, next excuse?

Would someone on BP please explain to this guy that there are 4 maps in WvW , 7 days in the match and 24 hours in each day. Big numbers I know, maybe you could use crayons.

You said 90% of our success comes from fielding a larger group. Yet here we are winning on eb specifically while having outmanned pretty much all day/last night. Now let’s say that 10% of the total hours in a week. That’s 168 hours, we should only be able to do that ~17 hours. Yet we’ve been doing it for longer. So either you have to rethink your numbers, OR you have to admit that superior tactics can make up for it sometimes. Not all of the time, but a fair portion of it. Though admittedly SBI is pushing the map like crazy they can’t crack ow/vel/keep and we were at the lord in sm.

By the way, did AR just give up eb completely?

sadly he is serious. If he was trolling it would be semi entertaining.

Icy.1396:

Also you guys failed miserably to take any keeps last night when we actually had coverage… You must feel a great scene of accomplishment rolling our map when there is a total of 5 players on it.

I don’t want to take away from either side during that battle because I think that lessons both sides accomplishments. AR fought valiantly to defend Bay but BP did come incredibly close to capping a fully upgraded and supplied keep on a capped map where the defender has more numbers.

Also worth mentioning is that defense did save keeps but lost a castle in the process. Had SBI focused AR map during that time it is likely AR hills or AR garrison would have fallen. Again lots of good fighting and both sides deserve and atta-boy IMO.

Your the second one to say that AR had the map Qd. We didn’t.

[CRIT] was running homeland defense with about 12-15. I joined with my tag up from SBI with another 10-12. We were cleaning up the map when the attack on Bay started.

You had us outnumbered

Everyone on the map about 30-40 ran to Bay, I threw down lots of defensive siege inside inner to hold out. You busted in thru north and setup your trebs.

You had us outnumbered

about 10 -13 of us went to Garry and ran a suicide run @ your trebs, we failed.

You had us outnumbered

We tried again when we put up a counter treb behind your trebs, it failed.

You had us outnumbered

we fell back to inner bay as the walls were close to falling, I put out a general call for [ALS] to come defend, they showed up, no Q.

You had us outnumbered

Walls down, we held you off with ACs, on your 2nd or 3rd push we maned to wipe you guys. With enough [ALS] on the map , our 2nd commander tagged up and pushed out to clear your trebs. I ran some pugs north to recap and run supply to Bay.

You had us outnumbered

Our 2nd commander sweeped bay and pushed you out for the first time, I ran 25 guys to sweep our north and Eastside of the map . You pushed back into bay for the 2nd time while we had split up.

You had us outnumbered

I swept in from the south with my 25 while you had two groups in Bay, one large group in the water and another @ south gate. our 2nd commander, Smuurr, was dug into inner awaiting our arrival. We clashed @ south and cleared your pugs from the gate and my group manged to close the gate while Smuurr cleaned out both the pugs and then the larger group that came from the water.

You had us outnumbered

I again took 12-15 with me north and east to defend hills north gate, while Smuurr held off your main force inside Bay. I believe he cleared you out for the 2nd time and you pushed back in again from the northgate and setup trebs on our NE wall.

You had us outnumbered

It wasn’t until the 3rd time you busted into Bay that our 3rd commander from EB, 40 oz came to ARBL with his forces…. ARBL still not Qd, maybe after he showed up was it Qd.

It wasn’t until 40 showed up that our forces were equal in size that we could afford to push you hard enough to secure bay, secure Garry from 2 golem rushes ( one bailed before it got started cuz I spotted it in the south).

It was a fun night for everyone , but please stop making it sound like you had to overcome our massive numbers.

Kalkz got forum banned.. should we all LoL or cry? This thread will miss you Kalkz.

In the open field, AR has better movement, with far fewer numbers and are just overall a better server to face. BP blobs and now that they increased their numbers to win coverage wars, people want to chest thump thinking its something great. They won the points battle and they get………wait for it………nothing! Have you’re points Blob Pass, but when you face any server that has the same numbers, you will get rolled.

Depends on the map and the group you are facing. Deltona’s squad can win facing a much larger force in the open most of the time. I haven’t seen anything like that group on either AR or SBI (doesn’t mean it isn’t there just haven’t seen in). EBay (Rekz, GF, GH) forged several of our better groups into really lean stacking machines. If you haven’t seen it yet, probably means you haven’t been in the BLs around NA Prime because they have been running up the points on BL maps. AR had to queue their map last night to defend against that squad in Bay losing SM in the process.

I would argue BPs weakness is actually defense. We rarely siege up any structure, hardly anyone refreshes siege when it is built, few do escorts or guard, REALLY poor supply management (keeping the newbs from squandering keep supply is common) and we frequently let upgraded keeps fall without a fight. SBI on the other hand does a good job keeping supply and keeps guarded. Rarely do I take an SBI camp or keep and someone (or lots of someones) show up to defend it.

You know, when our two most recent opponents that have faced both BP and AR are saying the same thing. You might want to figure that there is something to what they are saying.

Are they saying that all of BP is bad? no, but 9 times of out 10 when they run into you guys on the field it leaves the impression that BP is just one blobby mess.

BPs greatest weakness is that they try to solve everything by throwing numbers at the problem. Not enough people on the TS server, get moar folks on !. That cute WFD 15 man that everyone loved, not good enough to roll zergs, turn it into a 40 man zerg, not good enough yet, get moar zergy.

I mean . we love ya, we really do.. but don’t come here and make it sound like you have no issues. You guys used to be great at having folks defending…. now they get told to join the zerg. meh..

AR play for first? Best joke I’ve heard all day

Strong words coming from the server who is incapable of taking anything major on our bl and is scared kittenless of us in the open field… Go back to SBI bl while they are not playing to make yourself feel better about you points.

LOL, We fought SBI for hours on even numbers until they gave up on us and went to EB to take all of your stuff. And scared in the open field lol? You must be joking right? Thats what you guys do hide in towers until you out number our attacking force by 3 to 1.

I don’t think its possible to fit that many in a tower, just saying. So I call BS.

If you look closely AR has there back turn running into tower on even numbers…

If you look closely.. your about to get flanked. …

I’m the best commander across all three servers, you’re all bad. /thread

Truer words have never been said.

Zara go back to Ebay… and take the B-team trolls with you.

Where’s that guy that said we couldn’t cap any of AR’s keeps? Well Kalkz and I thought otherwise.

muthatruker. I thought you rolled our map got me all excited. 1 keep during NA off hours. Kalk’s your slacking. speaking of Kalks. I’m pretty sure if your going to day cap us, it doesn’t count unless Kalks posts screenies of his golem…. again .. slacker. Instead we get the B team trolls, zara… not even worth a capital Z.

• three snaps… in Z formation!*

Someone of you really need to step away from the bong, you’ve taken one too many hits.

For all of the smack talk towards AR. here are a few things.

Until you can knock us out of this tier, just like we knocked NSP down a tier.

or

Until you can climb your way out of this tier via your own momentum, not like Ebay who needed AR to take weeks off to give them free points.

Until then, your stuck in the same tier as us. All of the talk about being better than AR in some shape or form hasn’t gotten you jack squat.

AR being the smaller server, has stayed competitive with the big boys, 13 weeks of being stuck with 2 much bigger servers (BP and Ebay) and we’re still here. Where other servers would have crumbled (see NSP) and given up, AR and its WvW crowd have only gotten stronger. You wish you had on your server what we have on ours, you can buy it, you can’t coach it , you either have it or you don’t and both of you aren’t even close.

AR has as reputation for playing for 2nd, because we strive to move up and fight the tougher fights.

When Kaineng, DR and BP all moved out of T7, did we stay sandbag matches to feed our ego and win? no we moved to T6.

When BP moved out of T6 and left us with DH and IoJ, did we stay in T6 and sandbag matches to feed our ego and win? no we moved to T5.

After weeks on end in T5 with Ebay (currently ranked 12th and winning vs R9 and R10) did we buckle under the pressure? Hell no, we adjusted our game and gave them 10 weeks of hell.

Get used to us, we aren’t going anywhere.
