We dont have any issues with RAGE, today we had a really nice fight before RoF briar against them. We enjoyed that one. And yeah our core members are still there but thats like 5 people. Some others might be considered as core members but we are in the phase of teaching our new people and even some of the old ones.
We made the decision to first improve our guild and play together before we start with any gvgs.
I agree that GH has to fight 2 servers from time to time. BUT what did you expect UW to do? Everyone knew at the beginning that the victory will be decided between UW and GH. So ofcourse we focus on GH. We saw your lack of people during the day so we upgraded your Hills 2 times. RoF has probably in total a better coverage than GH or atleast used the pressure we put on GH over the day.
It is no real wonder that GH is ticking so high during the prime time this evening. New pve content hits a server plays more with pugs a bit harder than it hits a server with so many big guilds.
To the defending point. GuM is doing an awesome job. But DEX is not really defending at the moment. We had some fun with supplytraps which probably annoyed a few guilds in GH. Well we defended your Hills when we had waypoints. The only way to get Hills from us is now an Omega rush,
DEX is playing 2 weeks in the current setup. We dont have a problem with fighting one group of +/-25, but the groups of FURY and RAGE are skilled, they know how to focus their damage. We have people that started playing the zerg fight game this week.
And a group of +/-25 skilled players will whipe a group of 15 people.
@ Bloodstealer
I only said what i experienced. Pls read my post again. What happened to us was 2 times at Hills in GH borderland and 2 times in Bay UW borderland. Oh i forget the fight for lake tower. That was actually 3 GH groups that all looked like guild groups. Every of your groups there had more people in total that the two UW forces that fought you. (GRTS and DEX)
But then again i can only say what i experience. I hope for RAGE that they also have the nice fights you spoke of since it has to be boring to steamroll 15 man groups with +/-25 all the time.
I did not say that you blob up with randoms, i said that you often run close to the other guild groups.
And sorry we wont do a gvg since DEX is playing since 2 weeks in this setup. We dont have a gvg setup, we dont have specific gear for gvgs and we never did a gvg before.
This is not meant as whining nor as anything against RAGE but all you enjoy is open field hugging with your other GH guilds. I rarely saw some of you running alone when the enemy had numbers close to yours.
At the reset DEX was able to stomp you 2 times, we had at the reset arround 25 people. In the week we had never more that 15 people and now we got stomped by your melee train. Nearly all i have seen from RAGE during the week in the prime times was hand holding with various other GH guilds. We faced you a few times in the open areas but allways were outnumbered there. You dont seek a challenge you seek kills and slaughter.
This is my personal opinion but i think many of the smaller UW guilds think the same.
Maybe its even something only DEX expierienced.
And here i have a small story to counter your roaming drama. DEX heard once that some guys of HT go to our northcamp. After a hard day of fighting big guild groups we had only 6 people that reacted and came to defend the camp. At the western exit we saw the roaming group of arround 10 HT which got supported by some other people. We dediced to attack them and even pushed them in the open field area outside of the camp and even downed a few people. In the middle of the fight something painful ran over us. The RAGE meleetrain came veiled into our 6 man group that allready was outnumbered. You interrupted a really nice small scale fight of which the end wasnt decided yet.
Lol Uw primtime is over and all Gh guys crawl into their holes to only let us PvD. Then come out again tomorrow evening. You hide all day, then cuddle with other guilds and repeat. Very boring matchup… blabla
Really?
This is only fun and isnt representing my or my guilds opinion. But maybe somewhere is a little essence of truth hidden? Who knows.
So far the match up was better than i expected, sadly some RAGE guys dont get enough of a challenge here. But you can now enjoy new pve content if wvw is too boring,
At this point i wanted to thank all guilds that actually enjoy fighting on their own with more or less even numbers.
Haha, i remember one of our commanders checked the timer on camps and was running on autopilot thinking the way was safe. 5 people of the zerg survived that, dont know how many we were but i think like 20-25 in total.
Stop complaining about nightcapping, you have bigger numbers during the primetime. All your guilds are bigger then ours. Do we complain?
I am sorry that we cant bring 1 guild to the field that is big enough to match you…
Only Slay has the numbers but first they dont play that long together(as far as i know) and second they start playing later.
Well that with the “blobbing” was more to the HT guy. DEX today gave the groups in GH alot of open field fights. We were 12-15 people and took on your guild groups. UW has not the same amount of big guilds as GH so we need to play a bit more tactical and use siege to defend our stuff. Also when your people were in Hills they cant complain about boredom. DEX and Slay tried to fight you every 3 min to get you down. Sadly there were about 60 Gh inside at that time. Hope those enjoyed getting loot…
This time i have to protect TaG. We as Slay and DEX (both arround 12 people each) defended Hills against 25 RAGE and 25 HT and the pugs also 20+. At some point also FURY was inside of Hills. FURY is a very strong guild so the only real way to stop them is to run with bigger numbers. Pls dont whine when a bigger zerg of randoms whipes your guild group. You have the advantage of having the people in ts. Use that.
To the golem topic. They used these golems to get the t2 Hills, so its kind of normal to use the golems for the rest of the borderland aswell…
And whats the point? Everyone can play this game the way he/she likes. I also prefer open field battles but if you dont have scouts and people who enjoy the defending site your server has a problem soon. We had no waypoints in the last week so now we will protect them. Maybe even one you your Hills. We will see.
And again we can see the small scale fighting of Abbadons Mouth. The only small things that i see are the skill level of the AM people and their amount of organisation.
Oh wait we should honor them more for steamrolling wooden stuff with 80 people against 15-20 defenders. GG from DEX for that! Keep the good work up!
Really fun to fight you.
Dont forget that we turtle arround rank 19-17. And it wont be better in the week because our population also drops down. And probably even more than yours.
But as i said before, who cares?
I just had to get the numbers and the situation clear since the posts above showed 2 different sides. Also the 50 more that came in everytime we nearly took it came from other borders but who cares.
You were not 10 people, maybe 10 of 1 guild and 15 pugs.
DEX tried the whole primetime to get back hills, our guild group size was 5-6 people yesterday so we decided to run with a tag. At max we had 25 people with the commander, while Slay had arround 10 people. Inside of Hills were at all times atleast 25 people with AC’s. You had so many arrow carts that our rams were down before the gates reached 50%. After we finally took down the inner gate we got the report that a lot of people came from the south, and yeah then we faced again 80 people(its the number with 8 and then 0), when you see that many clients in wvw you get skill lag. Dont forget the AC’s they had.
The way you behave here shows how your server works, you are disrespectful to your enemys, you dance and laugh on bodies and you obviously cant count.
So far we found no small group on Abbadon that we had to take srs, most of the time they run away from even 5-10 people until they have 30-40. Maybe that will change??
If it comforts you, with Abbadons Mouth and Millers Sound we have a kittenty match up aswell. Two german servers at once is a bit annoying.
Was a nice match up against Gandara and Ring of Fire.
Jump, dance and drop balistas on me as much as you want but you ain’t getting SM, garrison or keep this night.
Oh and all of the EB are a belong to us.
I dont know what happened in the night, but i never faced a server where more people danced on bodies and laughed when they killed you with superior number. Its a game gandara, these things are annoying but they happen.
Yeah that was part of the reason why we decided to keep you as long busy as possible, the reinforcements i meantioned were the people who capped Hills. For a while there were also a few Slay i think, but every group had not more than 10 people.
DEX wasnt the only group in RoF, but we were the group that went to every single fight that was availiable. We had an awesome fight in Bluevale, we were outnumbered in the beginning and RoF nearly whiped us, then Gandara came and whiped RoF and we got reinforcements and whiped Gandara.
The fight south of Faithleap was also awesome, we started with 7 people i think but fast lost 3 to the superior numbers. We tried to allways focus the stronger one but i think we pushed a bit too kitten RoF when they tried to regroup. It ended with Gandara pushing on us and killing us.
Had great fun in those two fights, sadly we had to go to our own borderland to help out there.
DEX wanted to thank for the nice fights this evening. We mostly run with 8-15 people. We are really happy that Gandara also has groups running arround in this size, since our last opponents all thought that 70 is the solution to everything. I dont remember against which guilds we fought but gg to those who we fought against.
Anyways thanks for the fights, looking forward to more!
Yes we had a lack of people in the mornings and during the day. And during the prime time it was the guilds that keept us strong. I think we have more people than BT even without guilds but yeah as i said RoS will drop now.
I dont think you get my point. RoS tried really hard to rank/tier up and we did. We won the match up against Far Shiverpeaks and Fort Ranik. I dont say the other servers dont try hard but actually they did not really rank up. Now you can say that we also only ranked up from 22 to 19 but we were able to fight servers 3-4 ranks above us. Our guilds all raided every day. Our nightcrew did every night the same awesome job. We wanted to get out of the range of servers like Blacktide, which failed sadly. Without the big and strong guilds RoS drops down again. And yes there is fun in the lower tiers but RoS cant really fight you guys because we dont have a nightcrew/coverage at all atm.
We pulled out everything we had for this victory, the week before we had a similar match up to the one we have now and we only barely lost it. RoS won because of our guild but the guilds were running at over 100% because we had no reliable pugs who were able to take over for a day or so. You see how RoS does now with no guild raiding at all.
Now with VcY left and without a nightcrew we are be doomed to drop down in tiers again and i think no other server did work so hard to tier up.
Crad, i would also tell you to take a break with wvw, until the things get better. I know not everyone here understands that but im on the same server. There was not much we could have done yesterday so it was fine.
Play with the people you like, let someone else do the dirty commanding job. Or take a break from wvw at all.
I know you are an awesome commander, its fun to play with you everyone was able to learn something but you are not the only commander in your guild so let them do the kittenty work. :P
I really hope that the numbers will even out a bit. It was a really big push from Drakker Lake but you wont get a gg from me for running with a 70+ zerg at almost all of the time. We did good in whiping you a few times, also got overrun a few times. Only good thing is that we did not see the acs we predicted. :P
Personally i dont like playing against Blacktide, because they usually dont have the numbers to fight in EB and their borderland so the server with the bigger population (here Drakker Lake) will have 2 borderlands for free. Today Blacktide had great numbers in RoS aswell, you did good attacking there.
I wish luck and fun to all who fight in this match up.
We had 2 reasons to hold the watercamp. First it was upgraded and we planned to upgrade hills. Second reason was that there were fight markers at the south west gate of garrison which moved to the lordroom so we hoped that the frenchies were able to take garrison. That would have given us the time to continue upgrading hills. Sadly for us it did not work out i guess you are not that sad about that. :P
I think it will be a good match-up, you really have some ambitious defenders/scouts in your borderland FSP. Made it hard for us to get into your keeps. All the superior ac’s in Hills made it difficult aswell. Wow it were a lot!
I think this match up will be better for us than the last, we can fight you guys on 2 maybe 3 borderlands but not on 4 but since FR and FSP have to focus on themselfes aswell that should not be a problem for us.
@ ich
do you see the difference in 30 riot/vcy and 30 randoms who are not on teamspeak?
Since you say you only roam in dont think you know it so i put it in easy words. A guild group can easily fight superior numbers because they use a teamsetup and can coordinate their tactics over teamspeak.
At some point in the evening our guilds stop raiding. Some stay online and play further. But our numbers seems to drop faster then yours after the prime time. At that time a small guild of us is not able to hold out alone anymore and this is the time where we call for help from other borders.
A group that just follows a commander tag is unorganised in a zerg fight because nobody is in teamspeak and a commander cant write down all instructions during a fight.
Really funny FR complaining about blob. I think RoS laughed a bit about that.
I mean really, yes you start running arround with groups of a size of 20. Then you get whiped by 20. You merge with the next group of 20. Then you get whiped by the same 20. Guess what happens now? Ofcourse the next 20 appear and we face us outnumbered 3:1 so we have to call for reinforcements. Our zerg may appear big at that time but it is the combined force of 2 borderlands and you have 60 people on both borderlands. This is why you allways were in the lead after our prime time, we loose all the stuff we take because we dont have people left to protect them.
I hope this did not hurt your honor. The numbers i wrote may not be 100% accurate.
Overall this match-up was even and funny, we had a few nice fights.
Sadly we also saw some things we which we would not have seen. Some people may know what i mean.
Herr der Friedhoefe, i can assure you that this is the first drama in a long time, we had sometimes disagrees between commanders but that was not shown to the pugs. From what i heard of other servers we have very less offensive talking in RoS. I cant let you insult our community, nearly all guilds play together and respect each other. We welcome everyone on teamspeak so pls dont write anything that taints our servers reputation without any kind of facts.
I dont say that i know what happened when you were on this server, i never played with you, i dont know you. You may have been a founding member of DEX but the DEX we are not is not what it was when you were there.
Many people that joined our server appreciate the tight community and the teamwork with which we work during the matches.
FR, it is getting a bit boring, if you run away from our zerg as soon as you see it and dont fight us. Then leave the border and go somewhere else. We will keep waiting for you to whipe you since you drop a lot of rares but it is getting boring after the 7th breakout even. You could also try to fight us with your kitten commander and his bubbles.
It looks like UW’s people all play PvE at the moment. Did not thought that we would ever tick so high during the primetime. Good fights at Bay and Hills!
Yes the fight for Bay was awesome. A waypoint is exactly for that moment in a fight. We were much more lucky that you decided to fight on the wall, despite the fact that you never took out our cannon. The guy on the cannon got a lot of kills. The funny thing is that this cannon whiped you twice :P
I whish we would also have more nice fights, maybe a bit smaller (lag is not everyones friend).
Haha
but yeah the difference in numbers is there and it helps uw and we know that and they aswell. I only admire those who stay in the borderland for their patience. I really dont like these big blobs, skill lag gets involved and the fps go low, i dont have fun with that but i guess uw likes that. Since its a game everyone should do what he likes most and that is why uw wont change that tactics ^.^
We were holding the big UW group at vale for 30 min, when TEO started to attack Hills we had to move. If you wanted to have less pressure from UW why do you then attack us and not them? :P
So far nobody complained about blobs, i said twice that we had fun fighting your big groups. But when your guys say that we run with equal numbers i have to say no.
You may call it even numbers, but we faced most of the time zergs which were bigger than ours, i dont blame you for that, it was fun to fight you and we were often able to whipe you. Your guild-groups may be smaller or even to our numbers but you allways have a lot of pugs following you. Also your coverage of big numbers is better than ours but you know that as good as we.
Anyways thanks for the good fights so far keep it up.
We may have a few guardians in our guild-raid, but we need the support they provide to the team to be able to fight UW’s superior numbers.
TEO you really did great in our borderland so far.
We got lots of loot (a lot more than we gave i guess, but you got also a bit :P), still we lost most of our borderland.
I hope this match-up will not be like the last we had against UW, keep it clean everyone.
funny how you think to move golems is not annoying, maybe not on our border but normally you get spotted easily and fast and the big zerg whipes you. DeX did that in this week very often but you dont even care if the golem gets spotted in a camp. We took out more golems in camps than at keeps…
Also great job to take unguarded keeps! really gz, rams would not have made that!
Its a shame that Dz gave up, we tried to gave second to them but there are no Dz running arround.
