Guild Wars 2

I don’t think anyone on TC who matters minds TW transferring off for the matchup. The week is early though, and TC still has plenty more to give. We won’t win the final score, but we will be winning plenty more battles. Tonight should be fun.

Oh man, another video of dual dagger thieves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This almost fills my excitement quota for the day. Anyone have some footage of a bodybuilder throwing an 8 year old through glass windows?

Lol I dunno why the image of this made me lol so much.

I guess my point was to let things happen naturally.

For all we know FA could lose a couple guilds in a month due to boredom/burnout and drop to T4, and that is ust where we belong. I’m sure if the population of a server was lower the fights would be ust as good

This would be great to put in your recruitment thread.

Having fun with [RISE] and [EA] on KABL. I think [ICOA] left but they we’re definately at the party. Thanks [KH] for being awesome also. Despite the lack of our oceanic, this really is a balanced NA. So much fun when every fight on the map is probably going to be a three way and any side can win.

Because 1 person can defend it from 3 people with those guards and the supervisor?

If you really want to beat SF…keep them in tier 8 forever.

Ask and you shall recieve! Dolyak Escorting ain’t sexy, but after SoR tosses 2 omegas and 3 alphas (some bps,) you gotta make sure those Dolyaks make it in! Good Fights, its rare you actually catch a strong attack like that and really have the opportunity to use every last bit of siege and supply to defend, thanks for the fun!

I think the fix is okay, though not perfect. The truth is that if you hadn’t made us endure the worst possible scenario for 3 weeks, we would be hating this “fix” just as much compared to how it was before any patches at all. If ANET gains nothing else from this and every other change they make its that you absolutely need to test these things before you put them in. If you want to invite guilds to help you test them, I’m sure mine and several others will gladly give up our time and help you.

Even the smallest changes are amplified by very intelligent players who can find the best way to abuse an error on your part, and being caught off guard and forced to change something 3 weeks later is not a good business plan.

Yes, I personally pretended the wurm was Xerxes.

If only RG would move to TC ;P

Vespirisa.1497:

I think I got like 30 bags just from that TC push into their hills Did you guys get a bit impatient?

Nah, we were forced to take FA seriously for 5 minutes.

Its fun for all of us. I don’t think I’m stretching too much by saying that if we had a couple oceanic or EU guilds, we would be right in the thick of this matchup. Who wants to come to T2?

After reading a couple posts in this thread, I started wondering just how far down the rabbit hole went. SoR has been around for years at least… plotting, scheming having their way for this moment and a final push. How low will you people sink?

How about I “think” we took first place twice this week and contuine to “think” we’ve dominated FA all week and “think” our bags fill up just as fast?

Did you finish in first place ::looks at the scoreboard::? We had first place a time or two early this week too…

It’s okay – I’m not going to stroke your ego too hard in my next comment, you do that enough yourself… However – TC did bring the pain this week, for sure, but I wouldn’t go around bragging about being ‘amazing’ because, really – You only finished in 2nd. Regardless how many times you took first. ::pats you on the head::

I am curious though… (lost the prediction link, sadly) – Is FA still blue this week?

::edit to add:: – I really don’t think what you did was ‘dominate’ us – unless you call throwing a crap ton of lootbags at us while we were eating your faces off in open field dominating us.

Do you really want to push this vibe into next week? We all get bags. Good luck next match.

If you aren’t rolling in gold in wvw now, you’re doing it wrong.

Please share how you avoid WvWvW being a giant money sink for you. And I’m being serious. Do you upgrade camps, towers, keeps and the sort?

Watch my videos. Anet fairies drop loot bags at my feet.

I’m glad you guys chose BG. They have an anchor type wvw community that can handle downturns then come back fighting. Community is everything in wvw.

Have you taken an upgraded Hills yet? It can really DRAG ON!

Did he just compare himself to Einstein and tesla lol.

The thing that keeps tiers from getting stale to me are all the diferent guild matchups that happen every night. Some nights its PiNK v. KnT and Icoa, then the next it might be us defending against WM, HB and FoE, then us playing offense against Agg and FoE and Ret. Then of course there’s all of our great TC guilds we get to work with as well from night to night. This GvGvG is the real meat of the wvw sandwich and if your guild spends more time against doors or militia than guilds, your going to get bored pretty quickly.

Hey lets keep the good sportsmanship. Everyone knows that defending Garri is the hardest job in the game on reset night, except maybe taking it lol. Great Fights in SoRBL all over the map!

I don’t think newer players really understand the system as those of us who have been here from the beginning.

I find GvG pointless because it really only showcases 1 part of what makes a true wvw guild good at…wvw. Much like the difference between a duel and simply stumbling upon a 1v1 in open world pvp. That being said, I see this as a server community issue and not one Anet need to delve into any more than jumping puzzle farming. If guilds feel they can relax on the ppt drive a bit and do some GvG then thats what they should do, who am I to tell them not to.

There are many different ways to play ranger. Thats how you play it in zerg v zerg where mobility, condition removal, survival and tagging are the key. I <3 ranger. As for coordination, it just requires trusting your scouting, mesmers, and commander to make the right calls.

Contact Deyja in regards to 20v20.

Lol golem duels. I think we are winning but its a close (long) one! Score update as well.

There will probably always be bad blood between us and FA, and maybe some of that competitive spirit isn’t all bad. But truly, if there was any server that was near the same situation TC is in, its FA. One night in Tier 3 was enough to show me that you guys don’t really belong in T3 anymore than we do, and I think I’d much rather be beat in Tier 2 than relax in Tier 3. As much as I’d hate to see another server die, It would be really great to have a FA/TC/Kain matchup. Cya guys soon.

There are anet devs on most servers, and as far as our resident dev goes, they are pretty quiet and just jump in and engage in the action like anyone else. I’m pretty sure if it was up to them, they wouldnt have the tag, but they probably have to have full disclosure as per Anet’s policies. I find it refreshing that people who work for the company actually play the game.

Wow, come home and TC is doing work. Its not even Tuesday!

Lots of nice words for TC in this thread. The truth is, transfers or no, we will be fine. Someone from SoR once asked me why I would even want to get to Tier 1 in the first place, with it being so nasty. I thought about it and realized that TC carries this atmosphere with us and someday I believe we will bring it to Tier 1 too.

There are a ton of people on T1 in great guilds watching in horror as sportsmanship and fair play are tossed aside for win at all costs and hurt whomever it takes to get to the top attitudes. They want to win, but they think there is a better way to do it and it starts with respect for the other side. They might be lured to band wagon for a quick fix but if they plan to stick with wvw longterm they are going to want more. TC has that.

We don’t need more guilds to win, we just want to invite everyone to our way of doing things. Winning might happen in the process though.

Bleh. I thought you we’re giving away a free new Mini or something!

Don’t be too hard on FA. They are completely right in needing more to stay competitive in Tier 2. People really have no clue the jump in populations between tier 3 to tier 2 and whether they go against SoS or BG 3.0, its going to be an uphill battle. I think FA and Kaineng are pretty even on N/A, but kaineng will shoot ahead by leaps and bounds every night when WM logs in. So show them a little respect and stop trying to bring them down for wanting to build and become better.

URGE heading to sleep nice fight against WM and MEOW we hold you twice our numbers.. I love your style of pawning one group and portal bombing the other.. But we were able to counter it and out maneuver your tactics..

Man had enough of the kitten talk from you guys. U didnt have half our numbers, no u didnt out maneuver our tactics. Our coms r full of..oh its just urge no THAI we can take em and yes we do. Sure "sometimes’ you guys won a fight against us. but tbh ya nuffin special, so stop talking down MEOW. You guys need to learn to fraccin count if you think ya out numbered. Without THAI alliance we would walk all over the BL and we are only getting better, trying out new moves and stuff cus we wanna beat or be on par with THAI.

You need to remember its been easy mode for most of KAIN for last month+ alot of the guilds are only just starting to get back into the swing of 24/7 wvw and tactics.

So yeah dont see any MEOW on here calling out the kitten guilds we face…so pls dont go rubbing our name into the dirt.

Relax guy I didn’t read it as him calling you out, sometimes you just take it, then show it them on the battlefield who’s better ya know?

This match isn’t over yet. Can TC pull off a comeback and stay in T2?? Stay tuned!

I think so much of this depends on your mind set. I have been so happy about rangers and completely in shock that everyone isn’t. When I first visited this forum, i was 3 weeks into 80 and loving it both in pve and wvw. Imagine my surprise when not only we’re others not happy, but that we we’re getting an update that would make us better!

I almost feel like if you don’t enjoy ranger in its current incarnation, you won’t like it no matter how they change it, because it must simply be their basic view of the class that you don’t agree with. But that’s fine because there are so many other classes that probably fit you as well as ranger fits me.

Still, I realize the futility of this post. Trying to tell you how great rangers is is like trying to convince a republican to vote for a democrat.

My opinion of T2 is there are some winners, some losers, and some people that don’t win or lose but fall in second place. The only thing seperating first and second place in this matchup are that the people in first place are more likely to have more points at the end, but the people in last place usually have the least. Second place always falls in between those two and I guarantee you that if the first place server was gone, second place would probably come in first place. As for third place, the only chance they ever have to be in first or second is to somehow get more points that first and second, which might happen, or might not, at least thats my opinion, mostly.

I’d like to see JQ/DB/TC.

This whole thread makes me lol. It doesn’t even deserve a non ridiculous response.

Pinkus.2860:

Some of the best WvW i’ve played in a long time last night. Pretty sure NOC hit every map at some point haha. Shout out to KN Oceanics! Wish TC had more coverage so Tier 2 could be even more epic!

I think part of the problem is that among the limited population of people who are willing to wvw on a rp server, there is already a euro option in the unofficial European role playing server. But I hold out hope that at some point, some of the oceanic guilds in the over popped top 3 will decide to jump just to create 2 semi even tiers. I’m not holding my breath though ;p

Anyone who questions [PiNK]‘s ferocity should probably check the video evidence. We are a true WvW guild in every sense because we don’t trap ourselves into any style of play. We play to win the map in front of us despite any variables to the contrary, and considering we are an NA prime time force, the fact we even have an effect on oceanic is pretty telling.

Oh my, what did we just walk into. You guys fight it out and we’ll just try to stay out of your way!

Here’s an update.

What do you want to bet the blackgate guy’s name was Coronalight.

I’m ignoring most of those claims as they have been directly debunked by a developer already. Yes, people are fallible and developers are people, but I trust them much more than random people, rightfully annoyed by long queues as they may be, making obviously exaggerated claims.

Where was this debunked?

If you are referring to the post in this thread:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Any-Tarnished-Coast-citizens-agree/page/3#post1379180

This was posted before most of this started happening to the extent it is now. Last week it was a little noticable throughout the week as we had queues but it would seem the BL was actually full and this degraded over the course of the week untuil at the end of the week we would have queues and not a full BL.

After the reset last Friday this was extremely noticable as every week there was a queue on reset night obviously. This time it was very different. Times before we would have 2+ zergs covering a map and you could plainly see there was a ton of ppl there. After the reset on friday night, we had queues and not anywhere near 166 ppl on the map. This was made very obvious to us as we coordinate with the other guilds on our server through a serverwide mumble. We maybe had 50-60 players on the whole map and a very long queue, up to 4+ hours for some. As the night progressed and ppl started logging out we noticed no one was getting in and the numbers were steadily decreasing. The servers that had big groups on and no one logging off still had a lot of ppl on the map, our server who had a lot log off while I was on lost players that never were replaced.

We are very coordianted and close knit. We all noticed this problem and it was made very clear in mumble.

You probably don’t have a serverwide mumble or nearly the coordination we do based on your t7 presence so it does not suprise me this has gone unnoticed by you.

Considering the fact that he debunks every symptom listed, continuing to list them doesn’t make him wrong. You should know that…

What I suspect that you are referencing is a symptom of both growing pains and the ratings reset. let me explain: TC was listed as full for all but the earliest hours of the morning for a long time. Many people were complaining that they could not transfer to TC during the time following the announcement of the end of free transfers. As a result of this they actually raised the server population cap, note I said server not Wv3. So many people transferred in after this that it’s STILL listed as full during NA prime time. I’m willing to bet that very few of these new individuals know, care to know, or care at all that you use a “server wide” mumble let alone what the server info is or even what mumble is. This issue will correct itself in time as the information disseminates through their ranks, assuming you make it publicly known. This ties into the second cause, the ratings reset. As more and more people figure out that the ratings have been reset, they naturally want to go out to Wv3 and make their mark. These are often new transfers and people who don’t normally participate in Wv3. They didn’t care prior because the tiers were largely static with advancement being rare outside of mass transfers, and they see it as boring to fight the same people over and over. Now that this is changing they suddenly care again. For example: Gates of Madness could barely field 2 30+ man zergs in EB on a given day before the raitings reset. The interest just wasn’t there. Since word of the reset has gotten out we consistently have 2, and sometimes 3, very large zergs running around and many smaller groups taking camps and the like.

Basically what you have is a bunch of new transfers and newly interested players who don’t know about your established communication channels, and may not care to know, who are clogging up your Wv3 and creating queues for the rest of the established community.

Oh look a long rehash of the initial post that is still factually inaccurate. Thanks for your concern but we don’t need any unpaid pseudo-designers on the job.

Culling is apart of this game. It happens whenever 2 enemy groups hit each other, and whether or not you were aware of it, chances are you won a battle in a group because of culling. Some people don’t like this, its understandable, but if given the choice 9/10 people choose to use culling to their advantage as opposed to disadvantage. Kaineng wins for many reasons, as do we. Don’t call out the entire server because you died in wvw.
