Guild Wars 2

I have not Enjoyed PvP since they made all the changes. I think removing a place for solo minded and casual players to go is a mistake. Since then, if it’s not someone with a bad attitude ruining the match, then I am competing against premade teams.

I log in from time to time to see what it’s like in hopes I will enjoy myself again, and I usually just log out after a match or two. I Don’t like it and I have done exactly what you are supposed to do when something stops being fun. Stop giving it your time. I suggest everyone else who is unhappy do the same. That’s all they see. Metrics.

I can’t see how these changes are helping the pvp population. I hope Anet is reading and taking note. It’s the only reason I wasted my time with this post.

Bacon. Yes, or no?

Yes, two times. I want to give some of my bacon to Ebay.

I remember playing Ebay a few times on DR and they were just as classy when they were beating the snot out of us. Good server. I always look forward to a meeting with them.

lot’s of backhanded compliments and feigned indifference in this thread.

Would I be coining a phrase if I asked “U NotMadBro?”

Now that the match is halfway over it’s time for the Yaks to start fighting for respect on the forums and trying to put forth the notion that they didn’t step on Ebay to reach the high shelf.

I honestly think convincing an entire server to take it in the kitten all week so your team could win is a bigger achievement than beating both servers straight up. I’m not sure why you guys are downplaying this. I’d be proud if I were you.

Lol! eBay is getting OLAFed! Y DIE EBay! Y DIe!!! Go call papa yak to help you.

2 minutes later…
and there is YAK…taking Bay on EBay and im sure they will leave right after so Ebay can have it back.

You just don’t get it. You see half a story and sloppily patch the second half together with little to no imagination at all. Yes, Yaks takes the keep back. but we don’t just leave it for EBay. We make sure it’s got 100 supply in it first so they can queue an upgrade.

Last night some of the larger guilds from Ebay and YB met at IHoP to discuss thanksgiving day coverage across our collective bl’s. We’ve got a channel in our team speak so that we can talk with Ebay too.

A few things nobody has complained about and I’m a little let down.

YB sets up 3 rams on Ebay, Bay Ngate. Ram it down, we then Let EBay in to finish it off while we went to crack open Hills. Not a single Thank you emote. and not a single SBI noticed or complained. for a bunch of people looking for proof of a double team… .. The only way we could have helped more is if we used knock backs to move them to the inner gates so they could afk and make coffee.

Nobody found it funny or odd that we had 4, 1,2,3,4. four! trebs set up in NE camp to treb onto hills, and for comedic purposes, we alternated the trebs, YB, EBay, YB, Ebay? nothing? maybe it’s because we were in comms and took turns destroying each others trebs when we were done and had a freaky 9 way in the snow and splinters cause we love each other so much.

This match has been awesome! two weeks of getting beat down followed by two weeks of us completely demolishing our competition we finally get the the soup that’s just right.

This match has it all! small men teams running about, zerg battles, siege wars, scout’s roaming all over every map, you never know what you are going to get. a small scrap will turn into a full blown battle! I’ve been part of a few “small” 3v3, 3v4, 4v5 fights and literally see The enemy team trickle in from one enterence to a supply camp, while my own did the same from another. when a fight grows from a hand full of players to a camp full, that’s a kitten fight! Lots of happy laughs.

This match has it all. I have seen a golom escorting a yak, I have also seen 25+ escorting a yak. I know that there is a lot of kittening about Ebay and YB working together. So, when I see an ebay and an SBI fight, I help Ebay just to keep the impression going.

I have also run into a pack of ebay killing SBI and been slaughtered. You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and then you have, wvw.

I would like to thank the 5?6?7? 8? 10? man DDLG grp at the south sentry for not killing me when I auto ran into your team while packing my bowl. I’m looking down working on my stuff and I hear a few people yelling at me in TS. Naturally everyone else had stopped. I strolled right into the middle, and was getting attacked for a moment, then it stopped and I was left to auto run further south.

This game needs auto follow.
This game needs more emotes.

wvw newbie here from DB
just wanna say I really enjoy last night in EB
wiped or not, we still kept fighting
under a great commander, we finally took the t3 sm
I think some of the YB zerg left? but it still feels great
makes me more into wvw

Grats man! Number floods suck on both sides of the impact. YB just had a few weeks of it as well. Although you aren’t a Yak, I’m glad you are having some fun out there, man.

Shu.6981:

i love getting zerged by YB all day long

Yea, after the last two weeks there are probably a lot more yaks running about. While the maps are dominated and a lot of what’s going on is zerg based rampage YB has seen an incline on small groups of roamers, in just the past month or two.

Later in the evening is pretty fun when DB and NSP field more peeps. I’ve been leveling a thief killing yaks in the northern parts of DB and NSP. I find a lot of the smaller stuff happens closer to the spawn points and the southern towers where roamers begin their adventures.

While Zergs do pass through the ruins, I find quite a bit of smaller less zergy stuff there as well. our population is simply too much to be hanging around keeps at all.

Retreat… and live to fight another day. It’s a pretty sound strategy.

[/quote]

It’s a video game, die and respawn and fight again.. so no, not really

Let me begin this post by apologizing for my attitude. I am sorry i’m not kitten about not winning, or mad at any other server for using whatever tactics they have used. I can’t help it! This is what happens when I’m not mad!

I have been in, next to, and birds eye for a number of large fights. sometimes a rundown, sometimes a wipe. Pretty much always fun. got into a few duels out there during the course of the week. Much respect to those who fight till the end as opposed to fleeing.

I will admit I did had one unfriendly notion this week. I witnessed a lot of people running from fights in a video game. I saw lots of people standing on walls watching server mates get killed from relative safety. People downright frightened to engage in relatively even numbers. I’m not ignorant. I know this is my serer as well as our competition. I just got to thinking as I watch what could have been a great open field fight turn into a ridiculous car chase as one team used the run and hide tactic. I simply thought.

My God, I hope all these people who run from these fights, or avoid them are not a part of the Armed forces responsible for keeping my homeland safe IRL. We should be killing and dying, not tucking and taping back our bits so we can run faster.

PROOF THAT EHMRY BAY AND BORLIS PASS HAVE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER AGAINST YAK’s BEND

We have managed to capture undeniable proof that the evil alliance of Ebay and BP truly existed this week in WvW working against poor Yak’s Bend!!! At around 5pm Eastern the Evil Alliance (BP and Ebay) converged on Yak’s Garrison. Around 5:15pm they turned into Bags.

I am not understanding your statement. Apparently I am not as “uber smart” as I was pretending to be. My comment was a sarcastic dig to the other person who said YB runs with 90+ zergs. Keep being a hater though, I love it. Thanks for the attention. Keep going through my past posts.

Not my gig, although I’ve seen it’s yours. This is the act I was looking for. I’m back to being impressed! Do some more. More!

Elixir.2169:

kitten yaks doesn’t have any skills groups just massive zerg after zerg. SoCo is the closest thing you guys got and they are not even from your server props to them though. Great fights every time. Hope SoCo can rub off on yaks make them more fun to fight! Ebay, always fun to fight you guys good work! Oh I almost forgot yaks has some decent roamers though and you guys know who you are, thanks for staying out of those mindless zombie zergs!

/bows to Ebay and SoCo

Thanks, Man! SoCo has been having a blast out there with everyone. We have old server mates on both servers we are playing this week and we have had some fantastic run-ins with them! The Orange Charr /waving is me. SoCo experiences a rumble of excitement when we come along one of our old mates while we are out. Even some that you would never expect

I will have to disagree with you on a couple points.

1. SoCo is very much from YB now. We are happy and loving what we have at YB for a community and WvW mates. I like to think that all our other ex family feels the same where they found a new home. From WvW to hanging in LA, SoCo is at home.

2. There isn’t a single member of SoCo who hasn’t learned some good ish from the great thinkers on YB. YB upped our game, and so did running into our old server mates. What we have with YB is a pretty great marriage of different WvW methods not only working together, but taking each other into consideration. What makes it better is that after just a few weeks YB knows how to use us, and we know how to use YB. Don’t be mistaken tho, we (YB) have other roamers out and about. We work with them often. They posses the ability to stay focused so their team doesn’t get caught out in the open waiting for me to stop running in the wrong direction.

Lots of wondrous runins with Lost, VP, and numerous others.

Thanks to everyone that’s helped to provide a very crazy week of war.

Dio.2394:

I really wish they hadn’t put this achievement bs in the league because the first few match ups are going to be very different than they would be without it.

This is why I am eager to see what we (3 servers) are like in week 7 when it all comes back around. Achievement hunters will be done, will servers feel burn out? What will we be fielding for numbers?

Josh XT.6053:

Well, so far this week has really blown for people who run in small groups or solo. Not everyone enjoys zerg running, but now I see exactly what I have to look forward to in silver league.

I would have to respectfully disagree. From EB there’s AD, BSty and us in EV running around (as well as many more I’m sure). From the other servers I have seen plenty of roamers, some better than others.

This has definitely been one of the most enjoyable weeks for me as of late apart from the massive skill lag on reset night.

I agree. I have encountered small EB groups and I appreciate the battles. Unlike other servers who will remain nameless that swarm me with eleventy thousand.

I was thinking the exact opposite, actually. I was expecting to see far less small man stuff happening. I was surprised to see so much small team insanity happening out there.

There are definitely more zergs, but the great thing about that is, I tend to get my lag before I even see the Zerg. That’s an indication that it’s time to move out of the street.

Woot Woot, Great Skill lags this weekend on all fronts! When I logged in Saturday morning My toon autoattacked for about an hour. I went afk and mowed my lawn.

Spent a lot of time in EBBL yesterday roaming about killing and being killed. Response time for even simple white swords became insane later in the day. There was one point our small group was even trying to ninja camps. That defense zerg moved impressively quick at one point, two people teams wouldn’t have the time to claim the camp fast enough to avoid their impending punishment.

I’m already looking forward to week 7.

write a post, hit enter, get an email it was deleted. .. No sir, not a fan.

“We were all diehards for DR and we just wanted to enjoy the game again.

But that’s neither here or there. This matchup is a wash for the PPT crew. We’re still finding really fun fights with the WvW guilds out there."

It has been on this side too, man. the move thing bla bla bla. not a part of it… Yadda, yadda, yadda… and my understanding is your DR refugees are happy. I’m sincerely happy for that. ..all that nonsense sense aside.

I can’t be the only person who thinks this weeks match-up is pretty intense. Two rival guilds from DR are now split between two servers playing DR’s Rival sister server, Filthy Kain? I think it’s pretty cool, tbh. I see lexs, ddlg, bæst, dr?, kwbh and I want to AT LEAST get a tag in!

I know it’s mutual lol I’ve been hammered up hills, down hills, and into deer when I get run over by you guys. (solo, single file, and rage mob.) and I’m wearing a smile now typing it out. PPT is a beat down, but man.. there have been some awesome run-ins out there. I wasn’t really sure what kind of madness I was stepping into with the WvW population increase and it’s been kittening awesome. If your peeps are as happy as mine then I don’t see any reason to not simply enjoy that. It is great to see you guys out there for this guy.

I do have a tattoo, but it is in a rather….delicate place.

I posted this before I saw you online and whispered you. <3

I will speak to the LEXS member who was wearing a rugby helmet when he spiked you. I absolutely will NOT tolerate bad fashion while spiking an opponent!

That’s all I’m sayin’.. The bæst guy who spiked me not long ago, in bay, had some fine looking green armor with some fire effects and ish.

Nice Thread Sol,

With the shifting that’s happening where would you guess FC will be sitting around the beginning of league play? I know to try to pin that down is close to impossible, im not looking for anything more than an educated guess from someone who seems like they have their finger on the WvW population pulse.

While trying to bring more life into FC, what is the goal? Are you pushing for Upper Silver, Gold? Just to get more people to survive some of the upper crust beatings that are headed towards the low pop servers?

I’m playing Ferg now, down in the dregs and I believe all three of our servers are in for some hurt. What I Like about FC is you not only have some talented players, groups and guilds, but I like the attitude I pick up from your server.

do you have a server site for communication? TS?

As of right this moment we would be roughly 7th / 8th place in silver league. We can comfortably come in ahead of DR/AR/ET/GoM, but SF is a mystery since it’s been quite awhile since we’ve fought against them (and would partly depend who else is in the match).

Our goal is to get a couple more guilds and hop up into that competitive bubble between HoD, NSP, DH, and Kaineng, which are all fairly equal now considering the guilds that left DH and continue to leave Kaineng. Only IoJ and YB would be lopsided matches and we can work on 2v1’ing them.

I suppose to quantify our goal it would be initially to reach top 5 in silver league. Gold league is not something I am even considering in the near future. If that ever looks like a possibility we’ll revisit

and yes we use a server TS3 that is nicely organized including cross-channel commander chat. I hope that answers your questions

Very Much so, only one more. Do you have a community site, forums, communication tools ect.

Tremendously. Thanks to all for the feedback. It’s greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the feed back. what about coverage? I don’t necessarily mean WvW coverage, but I have some friends that are spread out across time zones. Ukraine, Norway, Alaska, Australia, Japan, East Coast, West Coast, Middle coast. would they be able to find a decent amount of adventure be it WvW or PvE large scale event stuff?

A problem that some of my friends and I are falling into is that the population of our current server is draining pretty fast and time is running short. what’s worse for them and it saddens me they experience this but; they simply can not find people to do things with off prime hours where we currently are. And much like any family, you never want to see someone leave, especially if they don’t really want to.

our normal non prime friends regale us with tales if two-somes running from tower to tower as zergs melt them down unopposed. I’m not complaining, but I can imagine why some wouldn’t want to continue playing like this.

I’ve looked at the site, and need to register to look more. But if my friends are happy, and I find myself in a great community at the same time, I’m not too sure I could ask for much more.

maybe a pizza party.

Hello Yaks!

Your Server is notorious for it’s community in my circle of influence. I just had a few general questions.

Yaks is in the top tier of Silver Ranked servers, currently. What would you project or guess that Yaks will be sitting come league play?

The fact that you are boasting a community first, WvW second server is mouth watering. That notion aside, where would you like to be sitting at the end of the first 7 weeks?

Do you want Gold tier? Do you think you will hit Gold at the end of the 7? I’m only asking because it’s something I am seeking to avoid. I’m a causal minded player who plays hard core hours.

I want variety in my WvW experience and sadly it’s something I’m not getting at home, therefore I need to step out. My WvW night can consist of a number of WvW flavors. I like the lowbie madness, playing the survival game. I love to play Sim Fort and build a tower up while picking up random tussles around that specific area. I enjoy some small man roam in addition to (limited) zerg time.

Thanks for the Thread. I’ll be sharing out the information.

I enjoy playing a lowbie in WvW. I was out and about last night and had a pretty fun time on him. I too was run down by a zerg of red names. I didn’t kill any of them, but I know for a fact they were tired by the time they caught me. They all had to lay down on top of me after finally cornering me in a corner. ..by myself. .. alone in a corner.

I sent each of them tells calmly explaining how despite the fact I was the one who died, they were the ones who lost. I also provided a list of excuses reasons as to why my claim was true.. I knew it didn’t make sense when I said it, So when they asked me to explain I told them they would need to figure it out on their own. That makes me look smarter.

I watched a solo Mesmer toy with close to 8 people trying to catch him. He never left the area, he just kept running them in circles or would spawn a bunch of clones, and run off and watch the zerg kill them all, then check under their feet to see if the actual Mesmer was there when it clicked that they had been killing clones all along.

I took my 72 HP condition damage tics to visit a yak. where bronze invader prolly payed me the largest insult of my GW2 career. First he saw me standing in the ruins, and he ignored me. He prolly noticed my title was Noob or some ish. I charged him (ran up and waved) he ignored me, ran past me, and headed west towards SW tower where DR and whichever server Yarr and WZ comes from were kinda mixing fists.

I opened one of those sample sized cans of whoop kitten on the yak. My invader friend came back. he didn’t kill me. he swatted me away from the yak. as soon as I disengaged he ignored me again. I tried to slap that yak again, he came back. as soon as the yak delivered it’s payload he walked away and let the guards have me.

It hurt. I felt like a needy high school girl willing to put out and I was just ding dong ditched.

fun stuff. I like this match up. Lots of fun peeps out and about.

Interesting ET/SF-3-or-4-thief-and-a-sad-guardian-trying-to-fit-in cat-fight outside of SE tower, earlier in the evening.

Lots of good stuff tonight. FTI beat sause team, BS insta death squad, I’m not sure who’s is who’s, but I passed a few wedding rings shortly after your teams played stinkfist with me. So, if any of you are missing them, you might want to pm me.

I also have a prince’s wand.. that ish aint cool.

Lot’s and lots and LoTs of great communication and team working coming out of DR. I hate to log.

Thanks peeps.

PS. don’t know who is who is who. Just calling what I saw tonight. quite a few ET zergs blowing out SF zergs. I didn’t count. but there may have not even been even numbers in the few run downs I saw.

Tactics!

Edit: All this stuff happened in DR.

clint.5681:

We have a nice amount of bad commanders over here a SF. So just think it could be much worse for yal if are good commanders were on more often lol.

Also ET frequently tries to attack our towers so i wouldnt say they are picking on DR.

Agreed.

They can’t be picking on anyone imo. More numbers means more stomp. No Biggy.

The SW tower with Lion and Himm was a great laugh. Himm cranking away at the wall, while a 15 man team was beating down the gate. Two BS stroll up behind up behind us. Very much like, “Hey look a robbery in progress, let us watch.” Then when the gate is down we will CC them and ninja.

So Much for that, twice!. We ran around the bubble and started to chase them up the ramp. Himm announced he had been launched out of the tower when he hit the top of the stairs. Turned to look and well, there were like 15 reasons to abandon ship.

Himm, who had landed just below the tower walls outside Broke Our fall. In the excitement, Lion or I spiked Himm as we fled to the relative safety of the Krait infested waters to the north.

We then took our frustration to the skritt cave where we defended against numerous NPC rat men.

in all seriousness, anyone dropping down to T8 without substantial number loss is going to beat up the two waiting for them when they get there. It doesn’t need to be an effort to pick on someone.

It is sad to see that a number of people and guilds that have been quiet and calm for the last several months decide to take this opportunity to come out and hate on all those who have left DR.So please, keep your cowardly hatred and your backstabbing when you think people aren’t watching to yourself.

is their cowardliness greater or equal to that of someone who tells people off but doesn’t say to whom he speaks?

It is a blanket statement towards anyone who has done these things, either in these forums on in game itself. I still have friends on DR and I still have an alt account there that I go on from time to time, and in the last week map chat in WvW has been filled with ridicule and hatred towards all the guilds that left. In fact a few people I know that were initially staying on DR are now looking to transfer due to this attitude that many people, not just those who frequent the forums, have shown in game. This forum is not a place where I am going to name names or get into an argument over he said/she said. The people who have done this know who they are, and if they really do care about the server and rebuilding they will have to stop before they alienate even more of those who want to stay.

At least the people your not calling out had the juice to speak their minds about who they spoke I’m also feeling pretty confident that most of them weren’t afraid if people called them to task on their direct commentary.

I’m going to go with: equal. Only because you are leaving and I want to be gracious. I’m done talking with you now. If you want to continue this discussion I’ll be hiding privately behind personal email. where if you make me look bad with superior wit, it’s under damage control.

It is sad to see that a number of people and guilds that have been quiet and calm for the last several months decide to take this opportunity to come out and hate on all those who have left DR.So please, keep your cowardly hatred and your backstabbing when you think people aren’t watching to yourself.

There are simply too many different people moving for blanketed statements to cover. If the small(er) teams who enjoyed wrecking large numbers don’t feel they are meeting that type of challenge they have the right to move, as does anyone else for any other reason. in fact, they have just as much right to leave, as I do to stay.

I understand people wanting to share how they feel, or how they see things. It makes sense people would be upset, mad, let down, and even feeling a little betrayed. At a certain point people need to stop looking at who left, and worry about what to do with who stayed. Personally I feel that the past tense of stay is too late, and we would be better off using present tense, but that doesn’t really happen till people move past what’s done.

Meri posted back a page about workshops, imo that’s step number one. now he needs people to get on board with him in one fashion or another.

Whisper me in game or hop on TS if you want to chat.

Edit: anyone on DR who wants to know what’s going on can feel free to contact me. The server deserves to know and I am happy to share what the current exodus status is.

Thanks, man. I’m sure there are a lot of smaller guilds wondering as well. I appreciate the communication.

I happened to notice that your last post ended in a single period. I would like to inquire as to if maybe you may, or still may know of any true fact or dependable rumor that would have made it acceptable to end said sentence with an additional two periods perhaps suggesting you know more than you shared but decided to withhold for reasons that are your own? ..and I respect that.

..but glace over my shoulder and see who’s waiting to read.

honestly, if their numbers don’t move, are we in THAT bad of a spot? Not to diminish anybody else’s talent. The previously mentioned guilds brought a lot of talent to the table. I’m strictly talking numbers. nothing more. so don’t go all getting talking about WvW now. semma.

I remember those days… my fun factor has actually gone up as the difficulty level has climbed… true I have my moments when irritation makes me short tempered… but hey im human.

haha well… To be fair, the fun factor for picking up my dog’s droppings went up when compared to the early days of DRB. hahaha. I think our players, generally speaking, are a lot more seasoned then those days. The amount any given one-of-us players has learned, since, is pretty tremendous. Who doesn’t get mad, besides Lion. He’s a saint and should not be allowed to have that metric included.

so, anyone have a list of all the guilds that left?
Has anyone gone through all their Tabards and already taken the good ones?
What’s that you say?
My tabard is the best and it’s destroyed everyone else’s desire to even try to make something cool ever again?

Jeez. I’m sorry..

Mickey Rourke!

correct!

It was the shades, who else besides him, Jack and Stevie Wonder do it indoors? Rock stars don’t count.

Raine Akrune.8416:

I look at this migration as a chance to cleanse our sins of the mindless zergs who lost the sense of having fun out there. I look forward to the lack of drama and better coordination I’ve already seen between the smaller groups. Things will certainly get interesting this weekend.

Two words:

Shot night, adventure weed, naked WvW.
Chinese take out, Singing NWA in TS, Magic tricks on Voice Chat.
Cherry flavored throat lozenges, Goofing on stupidity, directionals on a bicycle.
This is the 4th and longest sentence in this post.
The above sentence is: False.

Sororita.3465:

I’m let down.

The guy in the shades almost looks like Jack Nicholson. At first I’m all excited! Like; Jack is clapping for ME?! Then I realize it’s just some lame hipster. Then I further realize that I should have originally realized that Jack is too cool to be clapping from the front row. Jack deserves a table.

Edit: I think it’s Mickey Rourke!

Yeah that troll gave me a guild shield. He liked our guild emblem. Hopefully you have good guilds in DR that doesn’t bail when the ship is sinking though. Goodluck.

We have plenty of good guilds left. Unfortunately, I don’t think there are many left with the size and leadership to make up for those that have left. What is remaining are the guilds who just play to have fun. We can be very good, but many times we’re just messing around in TS, not able to move due to laughing too hard from something someone said, encouraging people to play what they want, lvl 20 or 80.

I’d love to see us, RGTG, TRON, TBE, or RegA step up and lead, but I don’t know if we have it in us. We are semi-competitive, but really just want to play to have fun. You’re more likely to see us say “Good fight!” than “OMG WTF Dude, you totally suck to my 1337zor skillz!”. Although, when we’re clicking, we can hold down a bl pretty kitten well with inferior numbers on our side. It just takes 2 or 3 guilds of us in one bl. I don’t know if I’d want to ruin my enjoyment of the game by yelling stay tight, stack up, etc in TS. It’s hard enough for us to assist on target at times :p.

Only time will tell.

Here Here, Ho-Ho!

I’ve laughed so hard in TS; I’ve cried, I’ve blacked out, I’ve fallen out of my chair, I’ve been visited by dead relatives and once I thought I was a young boy from Lithuania for 3 hours.

Personally I don’t look at the lack of numbers as a bad thing. Anyone who’s been around long enough remembers the days when DR couldn’t even hold the NW and NE towers at the same time in our own BL. Days when 25 people in DRB was a lot! I’m sure i’m in the minority here when I say population size is less important than the quality of people who comprise it.

It’s a good time for those of us who remain behind to strengthen our relation ships with our other remaining worldmates. We may not have the people to make it about guild tags, and commander sigils so it may be an opportune time to start making it about DR.

Don’t mind losing, lord knows we spent enough time in tier 8 and we are use to it, but I swear I don’t remember EB players being such….well I can’t say what without getting banned, but it’s a shame.

I enjoy EBay. I feel like they are a lot of fun. They’ve beat us up in the past and knew how to deal with winning. You can’t say that for every server we have played since our growth spurt came to an end.

IDKWTFhappened last night but where the hell did it all come from! Ebay was kicking the crap out of everything last night. (early AM EST)

Ev.er.y.wh.ere

DRB chat was:

grp of 10 eBay at SE
grp of 10 ebay at NN
grp of 10 bieber at Watergate
3 ftf just fell out of a salt shaker.

EB: Gone
DRB: completely lost around 2:30 – 3:00am for a little while.
PB: down to about 4 pieces of land.

I know DR is probably going to take a hefty beating this week. I understand why and will make the best of my time in WvW regardless. After last weeks thread I kind of Hope this is a fueled up Ebay who’s Vulgar Display of Power last night was more than their own admitted “reset celebration” but a server who is in this for 7 days of relentless WvW dominance. I sincerely hope if it’s the latter they are able to overcome the night cap, PvDoor, whatever we call it that BP won with last week.

I know what that means for DR but you can only work with what you got.
