Thank you, Kodash and Viz for this match up!
@ Vizunah: since we can sport less players than you guys, you are a ‘blobbing server’ to me, but you definitely are the most fun of ‘blobs’ we met so far
Don’t listen to haters saying you have no skill or tactics, your superior numbers in this match up let you to melt everything but it’s clear from what I have seen you guys do have an organisation and tactics where it’s needed… scouts everywhere, fast reaction time, impressive server organisation with some cool initiatives. Good luck in Golden League!
@Kodash: Sadly, I barely saw you guys this week, but roamers I met were very skilled Good luck in next match!

I’m sorry to hear this things happening to you guys, it’s sucks
Saskia.2893 we’camped’ them at the spawn because until ~21:00 the whole Abaddons BL belonged to us and we tried to stop the other servers from establishing there ^^ Let’s say i was close to set up sieges near your base but decided against it.
It wasn’t ment insulting.. but it is a really obvious issue that your server seems to have a lot of low level players and because of that it is harder for you guys.
No worries, I was joking and I know you weren’t trying be offensive.
Couple of weeks ago, we were winning pretty hard and there was nothing much to do. We were kind of forced to spawn camping and it became couple of days long field fight (with small breaks). I think both sides got bored so we did silly things. Using tonics, naked dance-offs, and… a real fighclub with 1v1 duelling while both servers, united were watching sparing contestants :P
How many commanders do you have if I may ask?
We had a lot of fun with Aurora at our Tower and their spawn.. was really enjoying myself. Aurora should really get more lvl 80 btw.
I’m guessing my server didn’t have as much fun as you did? Spawn camping low level players? ^^
We have more low lvls that usual because lots of people try to get monthly achievement and many of them are new to the game and have no idea what wvw is and what to expect. Almost every day I give some “noobs” a tour around the map and “you can’t fight lvl 80” is a second thing I say after “always carry supplies”
Don’t be too hard on them, AG really needs new blood
I am from Piken Square and we fought AM last week. They had huge zergs but they lost almost every single open fight. Zergs can be managed, no problem there. What we cannot deal with is the night early-morning capping from AM. Not a single day passed that we had less points during prime time than them. But we woke up to a green map every day. Its really disappointing to roll over a server and still by the end of the week they beat you by 100k points.
Map at 11:00 AM (CET)
Life looks quite similar on AG to what you’ve described. Last week match was basically over after first night – Millers capped all maps and got enormous advantage. We have 0 presence during nights and too few players during the day to compete with sheer numbers other servers seem to have. This week AM won first night decisively but now GH seems to have more people working night shift
I’m not sure if a score at 11:00 AM is a good indicator of servers strength (unless it’s a weekend?). People work, go to school and all servers have less people online. Same with wee hours. I think the best time to look at and judge real server potential is during peek hours when player vs player happens
But I agree, with this system not necessary best servers win. It favours high numbers and nighcapping. Some time ago, on this forum, was posted alternative score system, that takes into consideration server population. I hope Anet will take a look at it.
Saskia – I take it you are an AG player? Trying to figure it from a couple of posts.
Yes, I’m on AG and I play mostly in our borderlands.
Just so you know, GH has a server wide mumble channel.
You too? That sucks.. for us
But server wide definately has its uses and you will see some of it tomorrow night possibly
Another green flood, eh?
Our main events fill the server quite nice but we can’t compete with Millers 300+ online players ^^
We are aktually happy about 100 players (primetime) and try to make the best out of it.
To be honest it always suprises me how many players DE servers have. You always outnumber us and you never seem to sleep.
Millers gave us such a hard time last week (they always outnumbered us at least 4:1, during first night we had 14(!) people on the AG borderlands, they had a +50 zerg and couple of smaller groups) and that match was so exhausting, that when I saw we’re against another German server I wanted to scream ^^
Sadly AG doesn’t have a server wide channel, of course guilds use ts/mumble and cooperate but we could really use one main channel.
GH you guys are international server, don’t you have some problems with using voice chat?
I know how frustrating it is to be a witness of hacking and lose a keep or a tower you were upgrading and defending for an hour or more. It happened to me twice when we were facing Fort Ranik (FR). They were using jump glitch and it was so disheartening to see, especially that they danced on our corpses and spammed ‘laugh’ emote after capping. All we can do really is to try to report them.
Maybe leaders of our biggest wvw guilds could stay in touch? Big guilds have always some players online so if something bad happens, they could contact culprit server pretty fast, try to catch hackers or solve together problematic issues that arose .
Changing subject, is that true that AM has one big ts server for all wvw players? If so, I’m very envy Oh, and I saw you guys using that hide-and-kill tactic quite often. It’s neat! We use it as well (it’s harder to pull of with randoms of course) but group+mesmer+thief? Fun, fun, fun!
I don’t know if we use more siege equipment than other servers (I think we don’t use it enough tbh ) but I know we use siege to compensate difference in players numbers. In all our recent matches we were heavily outnumbered. And that’s true we have lots of low lvl players.
I won’t extrapolate my personal experiences to judge servers skills. That’s silly. I saw some neat tactics from both servers, I saw you guys doing some not-so-smart things too. I was in fights where we wreak havoc while being outnumbered and in fights that we lost despite superior numbers.
I really am having fun fighting both GH and AM. You guys have different play-style than Millers and it’s a nice change of pace for us.
GH showed up this night in huge numbers and all maps are green atm if they keep going like this, they should get 1st place by the morning
That is something I would beleave, although I never saw them outside the lake. Do you know which place they farmed?
~Starfall
It was very close to the road leading to the garrison. East side of the map.
I’ve never seen bots outside of the lake till this week (we played against Millers and they had whole zergs of bots in the lake) but this week I stumbled upon “land” bots 3 times. One episode I’ve described already, other 2 times it was smaller groups just outside Godsword. So I believe in very special and specific circumstances they could give AM some advantage, but it’s highly unlikely and wouldn’t make a big deal of it.
I do think bots are bigger problem for you guys than for us.
I know we can report players that way. Problem is try to defend a tower and report 20+ moving targets at the same time
