I think some of these designations are based on the upcoming expansion, however I agree.

Tarnished Coast, for instance is considered full and is at the bottom of the barrel for WvW currently. There needs to be some rebalancing of server populations and it starts with allowing people to move servers without paying a Very High gem fee.

Nah, people should still pay a gem fee to move

but

TC being at the bottom while still being full is my point. There’s such a gigantic divide between the top “full” servers and the mid/bottom “full” servers.

Heck, there’s a huge difference even between say, SBI and TC, despite both of us being marked as “full”.

I didn’t say do away with the gem fee, I said paying a “Very High” status server gem fee transfer for a server like Tarnished Coast is absurd.

Although I completely agree with what you’ve said. The various “Full” servers are drastically different in population and shouldn’t be lumped together.

Go Go [DIS]

Had a great reset and looking for more to join us in our quest to take over the world.

“What are we going to do tonight Brain?”
“The same thing we do every night Pinky, try and take over the world!”

If I had to suggest a guild for any person on BG I would suggest ZN.

I have had the honor and privilege to run with them in the past and I continue to count the days until we get to run together again. Great group, plain and simple.

Dissentient [DIS]

Do you enjoy WvW but can’t find a dedicated group to play with? Have you been looking for more tactics in WvW than just zerging? Are you looking for a group of people to join you in your quest for Legendaries, dungeon gear and Fractals? We are the synthesis. Dissentient or [DIS] is a tight-knit PvX community that focuses on advanced tactics and server-wide organization in WvW. We pride ourselves on having a great competitive WvW experience while keeping a warm, friendly and helpful atmosphere. Whether you’re looking for active, organized and advanced WvW, an active dungeon running community or a group of friends, Dissentient is the answer.

Dissentient is on Tarnished Coast. Why did we choose Tarnished Coast as our home server? TC is known for three things: Having an active, mature and friendly community, roleplaying (outside of WvW), and never giving up even if we’re in dead last in WvW. A steadfast competitive experience where PvP and PvE can meet gracefully. This is exactly what we want to emulate at Dissentient. In WvW, we have made a name for ourselves and now we are looking to expand our influence.

[DIS] Offers:
> A strong, multi-gaming community (GW2, FF14, LoL, and many other games).
> Mature Community, Avg age: 22-36 (No age requirement to join)
> Tarnished Coast is a Tier 2 WvW Server (Not too hardcore but very competitive)
> Dedicated and active Guild Forum with private PvP Discussions
> Dedicated Guild Channel in TC’s 10,000 slot Server-wide Mumble (hosted by [DIS])
> Dedicated WvW Commanders and Advanced Tactics
> WvW focused Guild, most members WvW every day
> Guild Missions weekly!
> Daily Guild Events listed at http://events.dissentient.org

What is [DIS] looking for?
> A willingness to learn.
> A desire to be the best.
> Someone looking for not just a guild, but a community.

Come join us as we refocus our efforts on WvW advanced tactics and multi-prong attacks. Want to zerg-bust? Ninja keeps? All the good things about WvW life? We are the place.

Interested in joining? Check us out at dissentient.org or send Nabrok or Ruq a message in game!

I seldom plug my server for these threads, but do seriously consider TC. Our community both WvW and PvE is solid – we are obviously among the biggest and most active servers on the PvE side being the unofficial RP server and all, and our WvW is nothing if not stable and consistent. Most importantly, we do have a few active SG guilds and more fellow Singaporeans to fight with is always a good thing

Check out our community forums at forthetoast.com and see if you like what you see

I really appreciate your reply !! just a question thou, will such an establish server need commanders like us?

I can personally say that [DIS] on Tarnished Coast is looking for more commanders and more players. We are a multi-game community (When I say community I mean it, not just a guild) and we are looking to reassert our presence on TC.

A little background: DIS is a classic TC guild who has been here since the climb from T6 to T1.5. We work with all the WvW guilds on the server and if you ask around people will tell you about our style. We are all about WvW, but we also have a strong group who run dungeons and Guild Missions.

We are currently in the process of rebranding and reorganizing our forces into focused, zerg-breaking groups of around 10 per group. Advanced tactics and multi-pronged attacks are our focus. If you wanted to come join us and help us get back into the swing of things, come on over!

I do know we have a large Oceanic base for your specific timezone. It would be worth getting together and speaking with some of our other commanders and leaders during the time period to see if TC is a possibility.

If you are interested, or have any questions feel free to contact me.

Symbol of Swiftness: This skill now applies 4 seconds of swiftness per pulse, rather than 8 seconds if you have no swiftness and 1 second if you have swiftness.

This worries me. Guardians are already a less mobile class and this nerf will hurt that even more.

Ruq.5396:

Am I missing something or has anyone else missed this small bit of detail:

-The “under attack” notice at objectives now displays 30 seconds after it is first attacked.
Does not affect waypoint usage.

Does this mean that the “under attack” notice no longer contests the waypoint? Or does it mean after 30 seconds the WP becomes contested?

From my reading of it, it sounds like the WP is NEVER contested with the new “under attack” changes.

You have a weird way of reading into things i must say. It will become contested after the 30 sec. They would come out and say that WP would never get contested if they where going that way.

Im not the only one reading it this way, thanks for the constructive feedback though, it always helps.

iCryptik.1496:

Is it just me or does it feel like a lot of TC are using this as a by-week? Our turnout this weekend seems to be almost abysmal. It feels like a lot of people took a break this week, and its showing.

The past two weeks of TC dominating the tier has lulled us to sleep. This week is the swift kick in the kitten that we needed to rise back up and push strongly into another reset week.

I expect that going forward we will begin to show our strength once again. I, for one, am grateful for DB coming to T2 and FA showing up. It has given the tier a much needed revival and I am back to enjoying battles, theorycrafting, and commanding much more.

Here’s to a long, fun relationship with FA and DB in T2!

Score update brought to you by [DIS]!

Good fights this morning, and I look forward to good fights this evening!

Great fights in DBBL last night! Absolutely amazing going back and forth in our third against [HOPE] and others from FA and [RE] and others from DB. Good fights, Bay was quite fun.

FA, glad to see you out in force.

DB, Welcome to T2, you will fit in nicely here.

Here’s to a week of amazing fights, yaks being slapped, bags being looted, and Golem Gods being appeased.

Well met DB! I look forward to matching wits!

FA, bring the pain, we are ready!

Magdelene.5946:

Ruq you guys do very well for yourselves and you have my respect. Those were good fights and a great tower defense on DIS’s part and the rest of TC. Good luck tonight, we’ll see you out there.

Thank you and the exact same back. We respect [BT] and I sincerely enjoy seeing you on the same map, it always means that it will be an exciting night.

Good luck as well tonight, and hopefully we can exchange some blows (hehe he said blows) tonight.

Just wanted to pop in and say good fights to [BT] and others on FABL last night. I know there were some…. kitten posting about numbers earlier and I come to clear the air.

Both sides had fluctuating numbers. Accusations of “errrmahhhgerrd your zerg is 2000 men, errmahgerrd” are no fun. Both sides had different numbers throughout the night I am sure. The most I know TC had during my time online was around 48, but as I said things change and I cannot count for the times after I got offline.

[BT] did wipe the TC zerg a quite a few times. As I told my members, “do not get discouraged, I am using tonight as a training exercise. Learn from this. This is what we need to be doing. Etc.”

Both sides have talented leaders and players and I do look forward to a GvG with [BT] in the future (if we can work it out). Good luck to both sides on reset night, and I look forward to continuing battling. I know I always enjoy seeing [BT] on a map (as long as you come out of the tower… hehehe I had to make a small jab in such a positive post)

I just wanted to wish the best of luck to Kaineng on their future adventures. I am sorry to hear about the mass exodus of guilds from your server, but I hope you continue to bring the pain and enjoy the battles.

As for Fort Aspenwood, I look forward to continuing our battles in the future with, hopefully, another good opponent. Here’s to hoping that DB can come in and reinvigorate your players and give us all a match worth fighting for.

Good luck to all, and I look forward to honor and glory in the future.

Huzzah! Cookies for all involved!

I was running with him last night and a Diss commander noticed his guild tag and knew exactly who he was, welcomed him and such.
Pretty outstanding for a guild of one.

“Aren’t you FA?”

I was surprised too. I must have been doing a good job with harassing the dolyaks. In the militarily approved of fashion.

Maniac.5163:

Also, I’m biased but I feel like it would be a struggle to grasp any sense of the FA community when you isolate yourself to your own guild…

I did get involved with a WvW guild for several weeks. It was an interesting experience, never dull for sure.

Welcome to TC. GW 2 Kitty is pleased.

Huygens.4075:

New commander for this upcoming matchup!

Recommending TC commander.

What about GW2 Kitty? GW2 Kitty can Command TC!

This is very cool. I would promote anyone doing anything they can to help.

Thank you for setting this up, and I hope the entire WvW community rallies behind this.

WyldKat.4712:

Someone found something wrong with GW2 Kitty…

I’m… I’m just… I got nothing. I’m gonna just go drool in the corner.

We must spread the love of GW2 Kitty. Let the world know GW2 Kitty loves you, and we love GW2 Kitty.

ALL HAIL GW2 KITTY.

Pervin.5036:

As for the change in reset time, I do think it benefits TC. They have a fairly strong militia base while FA and KA do rely a bit on their big guilds more so than their developing and improving militias. In addition, TC does have a strong EU presence, which will have more time to participate than over prior reset times.

How are guilds on other servers planning on dealing with ques? Have your players get into whatever map they can while waiting to get into the one their guild is in?

I know that the majority of TC guilds have a large issue with the change. Will the maps fill up? Yes I am sure of that, but if it will be large, organized guild groups or smaller, less organized groups I am unsure of.

I know we have told our members if they are online at reset to get into a set map and try to organize. I do know we may have a lack of commanders at reset though.

Everyone smile…. here, has a GW2 Kitty

Never get between a girl and her shoes. Just sayin’.

That said, if we can have one entire page of this thread without the usual chest thumping, insults, slurs, innuendos (no, not italian suppositories), and whatnot, I will post my super-fun super-silly personality quiz that’s guaranteed to get a lot of laughs out of everyone.

I’ll hope for the best.

Now everyone post an entire page congratulating the other team and you’ll have the quiz in no time.

Ok folks, not to jinx anything, but we are dangerously close to making Jayne cough up her promise.

Hurry and fill this page with funny comments and nice things

I love lamp.

Lets all just be friends? Friends who kill each other for loot bags and internet points?

Look buddy, here is the thing. We rarely troll RISE, RE, or other KN guilds. You know why? Cuz we think they are cool, and we don’t care if they hold #1 or not.

But you, PiNK and some TC guilds are just ridiculous. You always think you are the hottest guilds with mad skills. So we prove you wrong. The next thing? you start crying with the numbers…

Hm… well at least we got you to admit you’re a bunch of trolls. Step one completed.

Secondly, let me once again ask, have I ever insulted the skill of another guild while claiming the superiority of mine? The answer to that question is no. If you read my post I said “I will admit that at times your tactics impressed me.” A quote which still holds true. Last night there were times where I was very impressed with your movement and splitting. It has gotten me thinking more strategically in how to handle it, and how to implement it myself.

The premise for you post is absolutely false, completely untrue, and full of trollness. I give you plenty of praise when it is deserved, and I bring down your claims of “superiority” when needed.

of all the guilds that hate FA and post about it, DIS is second only to PINK (maybe not you individually, friend)

As I said before, I will not continue the argument. Best wishes around and I look forward to good fights in the weeks ahead.

Edit: I will add this…. hatred does not equal insulting skill. But meh.

Drigan.7382:

Ruq – I didn’t mean anything I said as an insult, and I can understand why you took it that way, so I apologize for that, and I know it looks like I popped my thoughts into something I had no part in, but most of what I said is meant in a general case, not meant to single out TC or DIS by any means cause the past few weeks we’ve loved it when we see you on the field.

My post isn’t to pump up FA or HOPE at all; I’ll be the first to admit last night was not a great night for HOPE. I’m just disappointed how often everyone (FA included) is relying on numbers now – not saying DIS does, at all – but there were a lot of times we could have had some fun fights with you guys at the ruins but it always seemed like you would only come out if another guild was with you.

I have to remind myself of how different our mentalities are I suppose. I feel dirty when we wipe a group if we have more people because it feels like a cheap win. The most fun we have is when we find the good fights. From a ppt game you played it smart by not engaging if there was any uncertainty.

I forgot how different we look at wvw. Just wish there were more guilds that looked for the good fights instead of the steamroll.

I appreciate this response and I apologize if anything I said came off the wrong way as well.

Last night was a kitten because of how hard we were getting hit at our natural tower and at Bay. A lot of times when we saw anyone in ruins we automatically went into the tower to counter treb.

No worries as I am sure we will get a lot of good fights coming up this week, and the weeks to follow.

Feel free to message me or Rhyme and we could set up a few GvGs if that sounds good. I know a few other guilds have contacted us requesting them, and I would like to do more in the future

Urrid.4593:

I hate scrolling past all these walls of text! I am just happy that we have such an evenly matched tier. Imaginary 2v1’s or not, almost everyone should be happy with the 24/7 fights on all the maps. It sure beats a blowout…

Trolling is so utterly boring. Please stop. Just. Stop.

Hehe I agree. I sincerely apologize for my contribution to the walls of text.

…. Bad Ruq….. Bad.

So either A) you proved my point, or B ) you are jumping into a discussion you have no part in.

At what point in my post did I mention anything about HOPE? No where. Secondly, you claim we ran every time we saw HOPE on the field? Quite the opposite. Every single time HOPE came out they were either A) Wiped, or B ) Ran away. Not once did any of our groups on KABL run from HOPE last night. Did we lure FA into Garrison and then proceed to the take entire remainder of the map while you fought KA? Yes. Yes we did.

I ask that before you accuse me of running in this giant “megazerg” that you get your facts straight. CYN was running on the Southern half of the map defending and holding camps, while babysitting Bay. TSL was mostly running around in the Northern half of the map doing their best to harass camps and slap yaks, but they did run in the Southern half of the map for defense and pushes east ward. DIS roamed around the entire map defending where needed and pushing where needed. I can tell you from experience, as I was commanding, that there were multiple times I told our guys to build a golem, wait for FA to push behind us, and move North West to take the NW tower and proceed to take ALL the camps for the tick. Did we come together for certain pushes? Yes. Garrison usually requires a large amount of people to take, thus the reason for coming together, as does hills. When I realized that I cannot take a keep or tower, I usually do my best to get the other zergs fighting so I can go take points for free, call it running, I call it strategy.

I do not play WvW with a “open field” mentality. I play it as it was designed, to optimize PPT, and defend points. So step back off your accusations and reassess what happened last night. When TSL, ESP, CYN, and DIS came together we had around 50, maybe 60 TOPS at the PEAK of the night. For the majority of the night we were running with about 40.

You sit here and drag other guilds through the mud in an attempt to insult TC and promote FA and HOPE. I never once said anything about our guilds being better, nor did I say anything about BT being bad, quite the opposite, I commended BT on some very strong strategy that was very successful. I stated that the chauvinistic comment by a BT member was not based in fact, and that it was not only their “superior tactics” that won them some fights.

I will end this argument with a clear statement. I will not claim superiority over any other guild. I will not attack other guilds for any reason. I will however defend my server and my guild from insults and incorrect comments about what occurred on the battlefield.

Digs.8435:

Freakin bloodbath in KNBL last night. You guys need to pan your cameras more often. Not fun when our strategy goes to waste because ppl aren’t even paying attention. You can tell which guilds hid behind the veil of culling very easily. Adjust and bring your A-game next time

All trolling aside, because it seems that’s what BT truly enjoys doing on the forums, you claiming that your strategy is the only reason for your success isn’t true. I will not take away from the fact that I was impressed at times last night with some of your tactics, but you had a clear 20-30 person numbers advantage in almost every fight.

It makes things easier when your can field 60-80 from one guild.

All hatred aside, good fights. The map was even for the majority of night and we controlled a large portion of the PPT for a large portion of the night.

Good luck this week, and continue bringing the fights, but remember needlessly fighting over Garrison after we lured you there, while the remainder of the map is completely blue for 2-3 ticks… Isn’t good strategy.

Furiousbeard.7602:

Bandit.9620:

Please tell me that Kain and TC are not coordinating to farm each other for wvw xp….

From what I’ve heard, all guilds on TC have agreed to let Kain farm them except for PINK and its causing a great deal of chaos over there. Being communist of course, TC can’t tolerate disobedience from its slave army.

The fact that you place all other TC guilds in a category beside PiNK is insulting. No we have not agreed to let anyone farm us, move on with your fact less accusations.

Blade.9317:

You haven’t seen ICoa in full force yet. We had almost 100 members on tonight ready to kick buttocks and take names. Unfortunately due to the queues we ran with less than 20.

Regardless, TC BL was a lot of fun tonight.

This. DIS was running at about half force, and I feel this is going to be the plague all week long. Lets hope the queue issues are resolved quickly so we can get all of our members in and rolling.

Agreed, please do not reveal our strategic information to any exterior parties. We wish to keep everything supporting our positive Qi.

That aside, I beg TC to focus all their efforts this week on ensuring our Citadel and Home Spawn points are filled with the correct siege, meaning having good Qi. Ask our strategic masters about correct placement and for the correct manner of placement. This will improve our overall universal placement and hopefully lend us success on the scoreboards, because we all know we do not go onto the battlefield.

This needs to be looked at. Habib any response from Anet?

Also, TC would like to welcome [FIST] to the server! Welcome to the Coast and we look forward to the great times ahead!

These blackouts are working quite well and we have had success getting newly transferred guild onto TC.

I would second Tarnished Coast as a server of choice for any guilds considering transferring. My friend Theon laid out a wonderful argument for why TC is a great place to call home.

I will address the only other issue people have raised on this thread, the fact that TC is always full.

http://www.tcgw2.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=323

I would direct you to this thread. All the TC guilds are organizing Server Blackouts to help open slots for new guilds to join. We have already successfully been opening slots for new guilds transferring in and will be doing them daily up until free transfers end. The thread I posted above will be continually updated with the times of these blackouts.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. If you are interested in transferring to TC feel free to contact me as well!!

I think that TC’s problem is that some people want this to be a T1 WWW server, with chains of command and common communication networks and daily meetings and what not.

Most of TC is not like that. Most are a group of people for who WWW is fun by itself by itself, not just when we win.

Lately there has been attempts by some to become a pro-WWW server. To be a pro-server you need (due to game mechanics) a zerg-only mentality where people follow orders.

This is never gonne happen on TC. The sooner everyone in TC realises that, the better.
!

This is not true. Whatsoever. There is no grand scheme to make TC a T1 server, nor any scheme to setup “hardcore” chains of command, etc. We are happy with where TC is at, we just want to better organize in a VoIP server (for those who use it) and to help us train and teach those who want to learn.

We love the community, it is why almost all of us chose TC. We want to improve the community and continue growing as a server.

For the Coast!

Had some cheaters from Memento Mori guild screwing with SBI earlier from TC server

We were attempting to figure out if they were just jumping into the keep some how, but I got to watch them speed hack away while under the ground..so thats how they were doing it.

Funny, when we took SBI keep in EB, the same guys were in there. I was wondering how they were self reviving with no noticeable thief around(I know how thief works, I play one). I figured it was multiple thieves, guess it wasn’t.

I remember some of our guys in TS earlier saying that they thought they saw a TC guy under the ground. I wasn’t around them at the time, so I wasn’t able to snap a screenie.

You are all wrong on how I was doing it.
1: Wasn’t alone
2: Not using hacks
3: Lololololol you guys are silly

Also, I would like to request that people keep hacking/exploit accusations off the forums.

These manners are handled better in private messages so facts can be found and not skewed. I have handled manners like this in the past and wish for everyone to do the same.

Thank you.

Hey Choo, good fight in garrison tonight… just curious though, how many times did you guys get wiped?

Yea it was rough. We also cant take it cause of your bugged Keep lord we would have had it in the first 2 hours but could not find him. When we did find him we couldnt keep him dead and control the circle and he wont run back to the lords room to make it easy hehe.

Right? Because the lord was down the entire time? And you kept trying to run to the 3rd floor…. Hm… I smell an excuse.

Zen.8497:

For some Blackgate players:
I honestly do not know why Blackgate server want to ruin their reputation leave T2 with such a bad impression. It has been fun all along, fair play was there until Tarnish Coast joined T2. For some unknown reasons you are helping them out. I know this because I was there when IoJ was there and this never happened.
I do not know enough Tarnish Coast so maybe this is their tactics where ends justify the means but I do know that BG is better than this.
Hopefully you care enough to do the right thing, no more crowbars to the knee cap please.

You obviously haven’t been participating in the current T2 matchup. BG has NOT been helping TC, that is simply untrue. It would be against BG’s interest to help TC, as the larger the point gap between them and us is, the more points they gain (thus easier to get into T1).

Also, TC is hitting SoR just as hard as BG. Right now there is a tendency to focus SoR so we can catchup and possibly get second place this week (and maybe a little animosity between TC and SoR, but that happens). If you feel like SoR is being “double-teamed” this week, I assure you TC is feeling the exact same.

Good job so far TC. Keep up the good fight!

I support this thread. Wonderfully written and well put together. Kudos!

Now, onto the real meat of my message. The Tarnished Coast is a wonderful server to play on. Not only is it a great server, it has an amazing community as well. We have the best of both worlds when it comes to PvE and PvP/WvW activity. Our WvW guilds are working together to organize and come together to promote further growth and success in Tier 2 and beyond.

We are looking for more recruits to join our cause and push The Tarnished Coast further up in Tier 2.

Come join us on The Coast and join a cause worth fighting for.
