Guild Wars 2

Will be my only post about this matter. We left CD yes, but it was for the good of our guild. The guild needed a change of scenery after months of mashing on doors. Did we leave on a bad note? Not really, it’s just a bunch of people who do not have a clue on what’s going on behind the scenes making the most noise. Those who talk a lot,know very little. We respect alot of CDers till this day, that wouldn’t change. And it brings me joy to see CD doing fine now. I was pleased when CD beat the yaks and especially Kaineng.

The misconception of us leaving for “easier fields” couldn’t have been more wrong, we’ve been rolled over by countless great guilds, and that only serves to make us stronger, which was exactly what we hoped would happen. There’s only so much you can learn from fighting guards and doors.

I’m not trying to discourage anyone to call us traitors and whatnot, it’s your opinion and you’re entitled to it, you can’t possibly please everyone in life, we knew that when we decided to make the move. But I will defend my guild’s name at least once.

All that said though, we’ve moved on, and clearly so has the majority of CD, maybe the small handful that hasn’t should take a leaf out of your fellow server mates’ book, and move on too.

For those that rolled with us, you would understand that no one in Awe cares about the points. We take alot of pleasure in open field fights. Something that we have been working on for quite a while now.

We’re under no delusions, we’re not that good. We have ways to improve, and for us. Fighting top guilds gives us that chance. It was never about winning or bandwagoning. You’re all entitled to your opinion, but we just hope you guys will understand. CD was home to us for a long time and it’s not our wish to leave on bad terms.

To the Mag guys that fought us, it was pretty kitten fun, awesome fights guys. As you can see, we still have much to learn as a guild. We look forward to more of these in the future.

We, we being [Awe], stay because of our loyalty to CD. At least that’s the case for my guild, can’t say the same for the others. The core of the guild have been in CD since day one, and we’ve seen many guilds come and go. Could we have left? Sure, but who really wants to fight it out at T1 where it’s nothing but a lagfest filled with so much hate and trolls.

In any case, we don’t choose to PvD, it just so happens that our guild plays at a time when most NAs are asleep, we do try and find zergs or guilds to fight and to practice our open ground fighting, but as I mentioned, there’s just little to no resistance. You could again argue that we could transfer, but I’ve already explained why that isn’t an option. Besides, we recently accepted quite a large number of people into the guild, and they do mostly PvE. Would be unfair to ask them to transfer with us anyway.

I understand the loyalty. It would be hard to uproot especially a PvE presence. It’s curious that you (and others) chose an NA server as home to begin with though. That’s the part that I can’t really wrap my mind around I guess. From a PvE perspective it makes sense if you want to have quiet gen-pop zones to play in, but from a WvW perspective it seems like an odd choice unless you are specifically wanting to push a server up to higher tiers.

Anyway, it’s not my server so my opinion counts for absolutely nothing. Looking at it from the outside though, I have a ton of respect for your NA players. They fight like rabid dogs during the day, they are almost always outnumbered, they can be unpredictable and they make for a fun matchup. Ultimately though, they are completely outgunned and I think that can be disheartening even for the best of players.

From an outside perspective, I could see them really enjoying a matchup against a server like Davona’s Rest, who doesn’t have anywhere near the numbers to jump to T4 but have shown some serious heart in battle when we have faced them. It seems to me that in the NA timezones it would make for a good matchup for your server and allow the NA players to test their metal against a force that doesn’t overwhelm them for a change.

Anyway, just an observation. Like I said, counts for nothing… just thought I’d share.

Haha, from what I’ve heard when I first started Gw2, CD and I think it was SoS, were the servers populated with Singaporeans, so yeah, that’s the reason why we chose this server, but with all the transfers and stuff, things just didn’t really work out. I’d say this though, Singaporeans tend to go for the winning side. Most of them anyway.

Anyway, doubt we have to worry about SoS dropping to T4, they’re basically a T2.5 server at the moment. But you’ll never know I guess.

Transfer to CD and be our NA krewe. T.T

Better transfer to YB and be our Night Crew, so we can have a flawless victory at tier 3 and reach tier 2 .

This makes too much sense to ever actually happen. CD night crew is a real enigma to me. I don’t understand the appeal of being able to flip an entire map every night against little to no resistance. I was sick a week or so back and actually played a whole night with the outmanned buff against CD, I just don’t see how they have fun every evening. Id’a quit long ago.

Yaks on the other hand appears to me to be an eastern time zone heavy group. We face heavy attack from them in the late afternoon… I’m usually running into extremely large Yaks forces if I get a chance to play from work later in the day. By the time our main raids come online, we seem to only be squaring off against Yaks main force for a couple of hours before they don’t have the will or ability to really withstand our attacks. When I go to bed at anywhere from midnight to 3am PST, Yaks is in rough shape and CD is just waking up.

If CD night crew joined you guys you could make a real fight of T3 instead of floating back down here looking like a bruised kitten every 2nd week.

Honestly I don’t know how Yaks and Mags do T4. When EBay goes to T5 my guild starts running training exercises to keep interested, our leaders start asking questions like “how do you interact with onion patches and what do they do for you?”, getting other people to teach them what PvE is and all sorts of weird stuff. It’s a very odd experience. I’d imagine a lot of T4 is the same for you.
