Guild Wars 2

They were a good group when they were over here on SBI, you SoR guys are lucky to have them now

And the only ones looking at SoS are looking for a free ride on the Karma Train Express.

People want to stay in T3-T4 because they are even fights and they are fun. SoS ruined its own tier, don’t be looking at us for your karma train fix.

Because our servers are actually pretty well populated in NA right now.

Other people play outside of NA.

Yes, our time slots outside of NA aren’t as populated. But you know what, they’re mainly even fights still between T3-T4, even though we all lack numbers. There’s really zero incentive for our off-hours population to want to move up to T2 unless they want to get run over by far larger groups constantly.

Out of the top Silver league servers, IoJ could use the help the most in the NA department, though being on any you will find good fights

Servers want to stay in Silver because it’s actually pretty great in Silver right now. DB/CD/YB/SBI/DR are all on about equal footing. Every week we all get new servers out of that group (plus IoJ) to fight against. It’s refreshing having a larger list of servers to fight against and the matches will be close. And most importantly, we’re all having fun. Why would any of the servers want to go up to Gold just to get stomped the entire time? And don’t say because of fights. Because our servers are actually pretty well populated in NA right now.

Not sure if you got in contact with them or not, but I’m pretty sure they run basically the same times as you play

Spear, since I’m sure I’m probably the only one with it

Vyrance.1723:

Even though we lost the match, we were still pretty happy with how well we did and the fact that you had to pull the extra hours yourselves.

And SBI deserves mad props for that match (see unofficial match-up thread). You helped unleash the FA kraken that didn’t seem to slow down post-season either.

inb4 match-up thread lock.

Indeed! You all have had a pretty good boost since. Hopefully we can rally more people for the rest of the week to keep you all busy.

neonreaper.4805:

You won’t see our skill groups if you purposely play when they aren’t on the maps, good point

I said we played extra hours. So we would be on for all of NA prime, then keep staying on later than you all. That’s what extra means

Chaba.5410:

Really we gotta make an excuse for why FA didn’t pull all-nighters regularly during the tournament like other servers? We hate the tournaments. Why would we want to sacrifice our sanity by staying up all day er’day?

Look at it this way. All the other servers we fought artificially inflated their numbers and coverage by staying up late and doing other weird things like NA militia commanders taking power naps then waking up to organize SEA. And you did that to your detriment because it doesn’t reflect your “normal operating speed”. So you end up with little idea of how your server’s performance normally would be. That’s a loss in a race cuz you got nothing left when your opponent pulls a power 10 in the last 500 feet (yes, I used to coxswain).

It’s perfectly fine if you didn’t want to do anything special for the tournament. Since we had lesser numbers, we pulled more hours because we wanted to see if we could pull out the victory. It was a tournament after all. Why not try to do better? Even though we lost the match, we were still pretty happy with how well we did and the fact that you had to pull the extra hours yourselves.

neonreaper.4805:

Vyrance.1723:

And I really hope you’re not serious about your good players comment. We were fighting Mag for months on end not too long ago. Believe me when I say that your guild groups are nothing remotely special.

I think the point is that for the first half of the season, we weren’t putting our best foot forward.

And yet in the last matchup of the season, we were winning against you all up until Thursday morning I believe. Up until you all decided to pull later hours yourselves. Right now you’ve had an influx of players after seasons, so we’ll have to deal with fighting a larger population for the foreseeable future. It will be rather unfortunate for our players during non-NA time, since our coverage is weak all-around.

Realist.5812:

T2 aren’t complaining about guilds leaving to go home to FA, so why is T3?

I understand that these last few weeks have been tough in T3, since T3 is only used to pick up groups running around versing other pick up groups. When FA’s skill groups returned and started annihilating these pick up groups I can imagine it is unpleasant to be versing good players on the map, since you’re not used to their existence.

T2 isnt complaining because they will have the coverage and population to deal with you all. T3 is complaining because we don’t. It’s one thing to karma train, it’s another to log in and find you all with the population to hold just about every upgraded structure on every map. Makes it a pain to break out.

And I really hope you’re not serious about your good players comment. We were fighting Mag for months on end not too long ago. Believe me when I say that your guild groups are nothing remotely special.

Stormlord title for SBI please

I use Comcast as well and just recently fixed my error 7 problem. Are you using the gateway (combination modem and router) provided by Comcast? If so, that is the problem that is causing the error 7s. It’s what kept giving me error 7s every single day and was a constant bane to me. Ditching their provided gateway, and buying a dedicated modem and dedicated router immediately fixed the issue, and have had zero disconnects over the past two months.

So I really hope that’s the problem you’re having, as that can be easily fixed.

Fix the spawn timers for karka/teq/3wurm in patch notes to reflect their actual times please so people don’t miss them again.

And I agree that multiple world bosses need to spawn at once. Just doesn’t seem worthwhile to go to right now

Your times are wrong in the patch notes for the World Bosses. It says Karka is at 1900 PDT, which is 10 PM EST. But it spawned at 9 PM EST and now I missed it, and won’t be able to do it all day.

The time is wrong on Tequatl as well it seems, so may want to fix that as well so others don’t miss that.

You guys blame Anet or DB for them potentially getting into Gold, but really its the playerbase you should blame. So many people have jumped from servers 8-24 to 1-6 it’s ridiculous. No one should really be blaming DB for anything, since they’ve been basically the same server with a few minor pickups over time.

And Archilese, your post is ridiculous. T1 and T2 do not move servers for balance reasons. They’re trying to win the coverage game. And we’ve had enough of guilds from lower tiers jumping to higher ones. How about guilds go from higher tiers to lower ones to actually balance things out for more servers?

I’ve been having this problem for over a month now. Sometimes it works just fine for hours, then all of a sudden I will start disconnecting every few minutes. So frustrating.

I also sent in a technical support ticket, but that didn’t help at all. They replied that it was a problem with my service provider, even though every other online game I have works just fine. Doesn’t make any sense.

Buffy.9246:

I wouldn’t choose sbi.

Shocker

Still happening to me Was going fine for about an hour and a half, but now all of a sudden anytime I log in, it will send me back to character select about 30 seconds later saying it lost connection. This doesn’t make any sense

I’ve had an issue start today that I’ve never had before, and it’s really frustrating. I can chat just fine in party/guild chat with no lag. However, in the zone I’m occupying, people/mobs will be moving as if I’m losing connection, and I can’t press any of my skills. Eventually I’ll lag out even though I’m talking and seeing others talk in party/guild chat. No clue what is going on with that. Have lost connection 20+ times today because of it.

From what you were told/seen = What you made up.

SUPR went to Euro T1, and two of our guilds imploded, and this was right after we beat Mag by like 60k. So you really had nothing to do with it, unless our people got bored from you guys. You guys started to PPT after we had lost those guilds, so I guess you push the PPT when you actually expect to win, just like every other server.

Devo quit being emo

To the YB GOG (think that was the tag) guardian I was dueling in SoS SW camp, sorry about the zerg group coming in, I honestly didn’t know they were coming You had me beat. Anyway, nice fight and sorry about the outcome!

Had a lot of fun this week Mag and YB, thanks for the fights! Mag is excellent in the open field, and YB defends anything like it’s their actual houses, lol. Really enjoyed it. Grats to YB for focusing on PPT to get the PPT win. From actual fighting Mag was definitely the most disciplined out of all of us. Hopefully we perform better in open field fights against you all next time.

Good luck this week!

Comprissent.3856:

Historically Yak’s bend would roll over and give up when pushed on during the week, but it looks like SBI has taken over that title

This is true, we want to be #1 at everything!

Comprissent.3856:

sbi are you gonna push hills or do you love having +30 ppt

oh we love it

Nice to see Mag and YB taking it to us! Hopefully we’ll give you guys a better fight in NA prime so you all don’t fall asleep in there

Bucket Lips.5017:

Hey Mags, are you guys getting any of those SBI tears? they are delicious :P

I don’t believe we were very salty in our match last week =P. We enjoyed playing a server that was around our population size. And even though we’re bitter over the YB/EB match in Week 6, having to face that did help us improve our lazy playing. Definitely looking forward to all of these future matchups

I’m just happy to see all of these close matches now. Should mean a lot of good matches (hopefully) among TC/SoS/Mag/FA/SBI/YB in the future!

Great match FA and DB! Really enjoyed all the fights, and we tried our best to keep pace with you guys, FA. Congrats on your win, and looking forward to fighting both of your servers again in the future.

Please, PLEASE stop making asymmetrical pauldrons for heavy armor. I can’t stand that. What do you guys have against a symmetrical look? Every new armor released always has to have a different shoulder look on each side. Why?

Wolfey.3407:

But they were not hated either the first year

Lol, they were hated as soon as James said he was bringing his talents to South Beach

Boottspurr.9184:

Coming into the week, I believe one or two guilds on YB were talking to one on EB and brought up the idea of helping each other out. Nothing was decided, and come Reset night the idea was thrown out with the responsible party from YB coming to the Ehmry forum and letting them know there was going to be no formal pact – every server for themself – with the caviat that “We will be focusing SBI, however. You guys are savvy enough to work out how to make the most of that situation.” And that we did.

So during the week while YB focused SBI, Ehmry played their part – keeping our Home BL locked down as best we could and taking what we could get from SBI, while also taking just enough from YB without kitten ing them off. ONLY in the last couple of days has there been some serious collab between YB and EB, and ONLY because we’re soooo cloooose to 2nd. So why are they helping us get the 2nd rather than just being happy with their win? Because of next week.

It’s nice to see someone admit that there was communication between the servers. And you say there wasn’t a pact, and then you basically explain how a pact was made for both servers to keep focusing on SBI

No need to be embarrassed Yaks, Ebay helped you all pull out a victory this week. I’m sure they’ll be expecting the help after reset with defeating BP. Never thought I’d feel bad for BP before.

NiloyBardhan.9170:

Loving the QQ of the kitten SBI people. Sad, it’ll end today. FA and DB should be ready to teach them what they deserve.

Have you and Ebay decided how you are going to split up BP’s stuff after reset? Maybe you should let Ebay win that match since they let you all have this one

At least us and IoJ weren’t holding hands

Having a nearly uncontested source of points for the week is even better and easier to handle than an ally. People seem to conveniently forget that while karma training and telling us we are boring opponents.

If SBI was as good as its vocal members seemed to think it was, a 2v1 against servers they had previously beaten separately by hundreds of thousands of points should not have been a problem. But the outcomes of the previous matches, and the SBI reactions to their roflstomp, conveniently ignored all of the elements of that victory.

We were ranked 2nd in this league, with Yaks 3rd and Ebay 4th. Neither of you are hardly fielding the low numbers IoJ is. And at some times of the day just one of your servers outnumbers us. During our strong times of the day we can get to +300 even while fighting both of you, but at the other times it’s near impossible to do anything against both of you. WvW is all about numbers, and this is no different.

Khayoss.2019:

Xsorus.2507:

You’ve been ahead this week because Ebay hasn’t focused you.

…

You clearly have forgotten the last matchup with us where we didn’t rely on a 2nd server for help, and had 100k points over you

Your last matchup with Yaks Bend also featured IoJ, the lowest population server of Silver league and the one who well and truly got screwed by this whole ordeal that we called league play. It’s easy to claim how superior you are when you have a 3rd server in the mix that cannot defend itself against you, quite different when there’s not an easy target you can leach points from for every tick of the match.

WvWvW is NEVER 1v1. The 3rd server is ALWAYS a factor in the outcome.

At least us and IoJ weren’t holding hands

Is it really too hard for you to digest that we have won fair and square (beside that obvious griefing from both servers)?

Congratulations to Ehmry Bay and Yak’s Bend for working together to defeat us. I honestly didn’t think you guys would be able to do it but your people kept showing up at all hours. These matches allow for 2v1s, so you may as well use it.

I hope you guys push us back hard enough to allow it to be a photo finish. I’d enjoy barely winning by a few points or even losing by a few points. Either way would be an awesome finish to an amazing week of battles.

I doubt you’ll get that. We can’t make any decent headway against the force of both your servers so people will probably take a break and get ready for the Fa and DB matchup. No point bothering with this match any more.

Frosch.7809:

No matter how often we say that there wasn’t any alliance you guys just go on with it. We actually help EBay now to get 2nd this week, yes, but that’s not an alliance. And we do so because you guys boasted about still being 2nd despite a perceived alliance between EBay and us. It helps us improve relationships with EBay, which haven’t been all good in the past. But SBI, restrain from calling it match manipulation please. Or from making some really ugly comparisons.

Yaks, this match is not yet over, keep going and please don’t gloat about the score here. EBay, go go and take 2nd place!

So it’s not match manipulation when you’ve let Ebay take just about all your towers in every map? And there’s been quite a few instances where you all have sieged down a wall/door and let Ebay walk in for the cap.

And I don’t understand why you all keep insisting you don’t have any sort of agreement or alliance. You haven’t touched each others borderlands all week, and have only invested in throwing your whole weight at us. That’s fine, but I’m not sure why you all are so insistent that that isn’t what you’re doing.

Props to Yaks and Ebay for being out in force all week. Definitely did not expect your numbers to hold up. You guys have done well by largely focusing on us and sticking to it. If this keeps up then Yaks should get the PPT win in this match. And you two can say you beat the evil server :P

I mentioned in earlier posts that SBI will win this match.. we were just missing some core guys and how Yaks and EB are double teaming… and Oh the trolls did come out to play… Well, Keep an eye on the score ladies. SBI isn’t out yet. : )
We’re just warming up for next week.

Onmicidal [Hero] Cmd SBI.

Boy did they. So much so that you had to send someone to destroy all our golems on every map. Real sportsmanship right there.

None of us condone that type of behavior. It’s lame for anyone to do that. Cheating takes the thrill of victory out of the fight. What was the guy’s name/account anyway?

And also, great fights out there guys. Enjoying trying to crack our way out there. The Yaks groups in SBIBL are extremely organized. Really enjoying (and not enjoying) seeing you guys work.

I’m also on SBI. Because of our population, unless we’re fighting FA, it’s rare for us to lose SM during this league. Last Friday we let other servers take it so they could get their achievements and stuff. With how much we’re ahead of the others by, I really don’t see the problem with it.

[One], it was great fighting you guys in EB last night. You all kept taking us out, but we were really enjoying taking you guys on. Wish you guys could have stayed around longer! Well done and hope to see you all in EB again some more in this match!

Welcome to Stormbluff

Stormbluff Isle got our first kill a few minutes ago!

I don’t have screens/vids, but I’m sure one of my servermates will post one

woot woot awesome kill guys!

The time is completely doable. It’s all about the organization. My server, Stormbluff Isle, just got our first kill on him. We finished it with 1:30 left. Before this, our best attempt had gotten to about 28-30%. Better organization jumped us up quite a huge margin.

STORMBLUFF ISLE!!!!! wooooo

Got him with about 1:30 left

Slayer Lord, you mean the same thing that happened to us the first few weeks? Anytime we went to attack SoS, JQ would attack us and we’d just have to shift resources to you all. SoS will just team up with either SBI or JQ, depending on who is getting pushed back. They’re the only smart ones going so far.
