You join up with a WvW guild, pick a borderland, organize a specific day for your guild night and go take your third of the map and then some. Take no prisoners.

You realize we were having the exact same problems not a week ago, right? It was those guild pushes that got us a lot of our points. But it wasn’t the points that got us going out there to begin with; it was the opportunity to butt heads with the guilds of Kaineng and Blackgate. The fights were great and kept us coming back every day or so, even if we’d wake up to find everything we’d taken back in the hands of its original owners.

i.e. Play only when you can get a zerg, and go PvE or camp JP’s in the meantime.

Thanks for the advice.

No problem. When all else fails, most will resort to being passive-aggressive forum warriors, which just wastes a very good opportunity.

The clever ones will take advantage of the sheer number of fair weather players to practice fighting against superior numbers.

Spent about 8 hours taking advantage of your superior numbers on Sunday to ‘practice’.

Typing this right now only because there actually is a Maguuma presence right now and can actually relax and do stuff like run supply around and restock on pearls.

I did say I don’t like to give up on fights, didn’t I…?

Except we never gave up cause we were outnumbered. We had good fun with BG & KN in spite of being outmanned. This could be that kind of match too if Maguma would give it chance.

We are. Those are our numbers (who are not pve-centric fairweathers). That’s how much you outnumber us by.

After my internet being down most of the night the day before (which is sometimes good, you get other things done), I decided to spend a bit more time in WvW on Sunday. Log in during non-peak hour, and what happens?

I hop into our home BL, flit over the the garrison, and find TC streaming through the gates. Oh, and we’ve got the outmanned ‘buff’ too.

Fine, figure I’d try to do something, slow and steady wins the race, be patient since there’s only a handful of us on the map. So round up a few guys, siege up the NW tower, throw up a couple of trebs and try to take advantage of TC trying to take East Keep from DB at the time to shell the paper garrison. Eventually poke a hole, yell it out the the map, and enough people come to throw up a bunch of rams on an inner gate, run in and kill the lord, only to have the TC zerg show up before the circle finishes capping.

Shortly after they show up at the NW tower, throw up more siege than we have people on the map and run over the thing before anyone has a chance to yell for reinforcements (not there would have been any anyhow). Okay, fine, let’s try from the NE tower. Throw up some defensive siege, escort some yaks… try not to draw attention and eventually get some trebs… nope TC’s taken the East Keep and DB’s off the map, up goes 5 catapults and the tower’s gone.

Eventually someone brings a karma train in from Orr and we retake the Garrison. And manage to hold it for a short while. As the afternoon draws on the numbers dwindle off and we’re back to outmanned again. Try a few breakouts, TC responds with zergs of siege, pushed back, farmed at spawn.

You ask me to put up a fight? Then, pray tell, how? Spend all my cash on siege and upgrades which get torn down the moment someone sees something is happening? Try to stop your zerg with small group/lone self?

I’m a competitive player at heart, more recently in MMO PvP, going all the way back to the original FPS’s, and never been one to give up on a fight. The problem is the logistics right now preclude fighting at all without calling in a zerg. And that’s only going to happen at certain times of the day.

I’d probably find more fights doing something silly like camping the JP and I understand why some people would rather do that.

Man, I still miss doing concussion granade jumps…

Oh, wait, this is the WvW thread, is it not.

Fun fights, fun times. A good change after the doldrums of the last couple weeks.

P.S. Stop attacking the evilkitty’s camp. You won’t like it when he gets angry.
