Now I aint saying its a gang bang…..

I think all classes can bring something good to WvW. Its all about the build.

Why is that lame?

Holding the keep should be a massive advantage and it should be hard to take the towers around it.

You can get that. But you have to attack the keep.

High ground advantage.

Celeras.4980:

I was online for this one. The orb was north, and we pretty much ran up and zerged it legitimately. Ignored the keep, just ran in took the orb and bailed.

Anything that happened before that I wasn’t there for, but sounds like a bunch of excuses. It was taken from the north legitimately, so now that scenario was “set up” with hacks? Give me a break.

Set up? no we make orbs fly to your keep.

Inb4 Windmoor.9834 is the hacker.

BlueOrange.5740:

Frankly, hacking seems to impact morale much more strongly than the direct impact on the outcomes. It does impact outcomes, but the far greater impact is when the cheated-against team throws its hands in the air and says “OMG, I can’t play against hackers.”

Can you blame us?

10 mins later im still pissing myself at that.

Does my server need to have hackers to compete in Wv3.

Anvil rock is so demoralized after having to fight this kind of crap for two weeks most people are not even going to wvw until next rotation.

Its happened multiple times from the same server so we are left with moving servers or making the playing field even as it were.

So Arena net what do we do?

Once kitten pass realizes attacking us is not going to help them take the lead this should be a good match up.

but yea both servers have so many more players than us.

Because they want you to think about how to fight, not just ‘zerg’ at a keep or tower, die 4-5 times and drop loads of siege.

Moving in a group using AoE to take down arrow carts on walls planing out who is going to drop rams instead of 4-5 blueprints being dropped and half built then getting wiped before you can break in.

Also being in a party with somebody marking targets lets you cut through zergs like a hot knife through butter.

The gold cost of repairs and siege is the ‘upkeep’ of your army.

If feels like its hitting you in the old gold pouch, good. It should.

Complaining about complaints. tell me more.

if people just used their brains i wouldnt have to be doing this

Do you have to do this?

Some of those attacks make it look as though they cant see you, now I cant say for sure and flanking is a very good tactic not only for defense but also for attacking but the rendering issue may have been a factor in some of those.

Overall though awesome clips and great teamwork.

Stick with me here. this idea just sort of poped into my head and im still thinking about the kinks but ill try to explain it as best I can.

Very simple : If I have force of 100 men, and then held 100 keeps that I wanted guards in all of them, I could only put 1 man in each keep. However if I held one keep. I could put all 100 men in that keep to defend it.

So basically if you hold your share of the WvW zones (1/3) your guards would be normal, 100%. If you held all of the map your guards would be ‘spread thin’ (Call the debuff whatever you want) and their ability or strength would be reduced down to say 50%. If you are down to your last keep or tower, your guards get ‘united’ (Again call it whatever you want) and have 150% or their normal ability.

Of course upgrades and orbs will still make them stronger as they do now. ( I think orbs do, right?)

This would solve my issue with fact as you take more locations on the map your force increases instead of decreasing. This I feel in a minor way is helping to cause the snowball effect already felt by the orbs.

tldr: more locations you hold, the weaker your guards should get.

Not huge, but something.

Sorry all. Looking back I have been a bit of an kitten. Reading some posts about how we need to use rams better and get a ‘night team’ and they kinda pitch a nerve, and after all the internet is here to talk kitten right?

But it is not right for me to come here and take this frustration out on people on the forums.

It has been a long week full of a lot of very ‘unfun’ moments and I don’t think just having more players can be very fun for your guilds who, like all guilds, are here to have fun and become better and get into the epic large scale fights.

Scumbag steel is sorry for his trash talk. Good luck to NSP next week I hope you get a good match up, I hope we get the same.

Nice orbs you got there.

And like I said, you can auto attack gates and fight npcs all you want, I have no issues with that. But don’t talk like you are outplaying us in anyway.

Icyie.9341 you can argue about night capping all you want. the servers with a large night team but poor day team will always say it is fair and that WvW is a 24/7 game. While the servers without night teams get sick of taking half the map only to lose it all when they sleep.

I have no issues with ‘night cappers’, if you want to beat on the gates and fight npcs, you have the right to play during your peak time.

But when Anvil Rock has half the map it is very clear that you are, as you put it, in an ‘even’ bracket.

See you in a few weeks time NSP.

MVP leaves. Oh look, We suddenly have our entire borderlands and half of EB. But seriously thanks for freeing up slots for TFO and some other small guilds, also positive map chat is a nice change.

Samusen.4578:

As Guild Leader of FINE and the HOPE alliance, I apologize for the ignorance of a player from my server. You can be assured it was nobody from us, we honor the fact you are still putting up great fights every night and giving us a reason to WvWvW. I am actually now making it my goal that the person in question be found and reported. I refuse to let this happen now or ever again.

Respect +1

INB4 Krathalos.3461 is really the hacker, so defensive. As it stands you are profiting as a server as a result from a 3rd party ‘hack’. This forum post was made to see if anybody from NSP saw this hacker and get that scum bag banned.

We have no players to cover all the time. our population is just not that large. and you only took stuff after we all logged so good luck when you have to fight people and not npc’s at night.

Please kick yaks bendskitten they deserve it.

and that also depends where they 3 maned the tower. we have about 20 in ARB over the night but the rest of the borderlands are deserted.

The Elo rating system is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in two-player games such as chess. It is named after its creator Arpad Elo, a Hungarian-born American physics professor.

Or you could just move to a server without a 2 hour queue. QQ

We have 2 “Active, influential WvW guilds”.

Honestly I’m a little confused why you’re being so argumentative. I’ve leveled with you on every point. I understand that it sucks to be you guys. It’s not my or anyone on NSP’s fault that you got matched with us, or that you have less people. We were put in this ELO because of a large alliance abandoning us, and we’re on our way out.

ELO is used to measure skill. GW2 ladder shows how many people you can get to play all the time.

We have 2 “Active, influential WvW guilds”.

How many WvW guild would you say you have?

Its just frustrating when you lose not because your opponent is better than you but because they have a bigger force, how do I improve myself or my game play against that. I cant. I cant get better and beat you, I cant stop you having more people and Its hard to get people to join a server that is not 200k points in the lead.

I can’t do anything about it and it pisses me off. Then you put Seige outside our spawn to what? show us that amazing skill and co-ordination you have?

Gah just thinking about WvW gets my blood pumping. At this point I think a move back to 24 hour fights would create better gameplay.

Just move up and get crushed by people with the same size population as you plz.

The Mann.4602:

As a co-gm of one of the more active WvW guilds on NSP, it saddens me to see complaints against the server. We’ve made huge strides in terms of organization since our community was gutted when AA left. It sucks to be on the receiving end of a zerg, and we did have one, but major props also go to all of the guilds which cooperated to bring home the win against K and DR.

“bring home the win” what? didnt even think they had any players.

<- Anvil rock
I Know right, its not like you are taking everything from us as night when we have nobody on. Not like you out man us 5 to 1 at all hours of the day. first day we owned then our server went to bed and you night capped everything and now you are spawn camping us.

So what? you want me to not get a littlekitten off when we beat you down for the first day and then you night cap everything and spawn us? We just had the exact same thing happen to us against yaks bend.

So no, I love being out manned, getting spawn camped and not being able to do anything in WvW simply because you have more people. you are not better than us by any stretch, you just have more people. And at this end of the brackets its not about tactics or planning its all just who can have a full force attacking 24/7. because eventually you will win.

GG good luck next week. enjoy sitting outside with your arrow carts.

Well we got basicaly the same deal as last week. hopefully we can drop down and beat on some lower population servers.

<- Anvil rock

So getting spawn camped. Woo

WVW so much fun.

mard.6319:

64k Northern Shiverpeeks
16k Anvil Rock

This must be an exaggeration? There aren’t that many points available yet.

they had the entire map for 12 hours.

Avilrock player here.

Yea its not the best. Same kind of game play as last week, where even with NSP having twice or 3 times as many players as us and 3 orbs we beat them in open fights and during the day. First day was dead even. then they nightcapped the entire map and nobody wants to WvW. So much fun, ah well.
