If SoR is just doing this to get out of T1 faster, all power to you since the low morale caused by staying in T1 is really not healthy for your server anymore. However I would suggest you guys shed a bit more guilds (especially your OCX/SEA guilds), otherwise you would be back in T1 in no time….

SoR still has ocx guilds? Oh wait thats right we don’t have any left.

Hire, GC

Most of HIRE has merged into GC and most of GC is leaving for ESO.

HIRE has 4 raids, NA east, NA pacific, Late NA/OCX, and SEA… and we are still on SOR.

Qaelyn.7612:

Irrespective of the e-kitten-waving contest between BG and JQ, as of this writing SoR is ticking +20 in the middle of a weekend, and that’s not good for anyone.

Its good for SOR…. better to just tank and get it over with then bleed to death slowly. The good thing is our community is having a great time in EOTM and everyone is having fun. Once we get to tier 2, we will most likely be back out in regular wvw.

Thnx for the thread bumps guys, and also for this one for thanking you.

Unless they fix groups being able to easily join EoTM or being able to choose between overflows at will (so a guild can just say “Overflow 23 tonight!”), its never going to replace WvW proper.

That said, I definetly see a population problem coming up…

How do you choose overflows? please do tell

You use the regular taxi method to get your guild into lets say whatever overflow the commander gets in… or if you want to run with or against another guild etc.

Either way, there is absolutely no problem getting your guild into the same overflow.

HIRE on Sanctum of Rall is looking for 1-2 FULL TIME, DEDICATED, ( be able to lead 3-4 times a week) late oceanic/SEA commanders. You will have guild support and take control of our SEA raid to grow and maintain.

We are willing to pay transfer costs for the right candidates. Msg me in forum, in game or in game mail to discuss details.

Able to command in English required.

SonofNoob.3102:

They’d rather fight pugs in EoTM instead of fighting the actual JQ/BG guilds. But hey being farmed 24/7 by BG/JQ for months on end got demoralizing to SoR. So I can’t really blame all the guilds who have left or died on SoR.

Anything is possible with 50 arrowcarts……

Its not really toxic…everyone is having a ton of fun in EOTM….. Im 100% sure that whichever servers moves up to tier 1 to replace SOR will just sit in EOTM for that week.

If you karma train in there you will be farmed….. as you progress further from your spawn the run back becomes obnoxious… so your train will thin out and then a guild group will farm you.

I am hoping people come there for karma trains.

The fact that you are forced to run and not have waypoints is a great addition, and one of the major problems with regular wvw. Waypoints made the maps way too small and encouraged massive blobbing. These maps tend to break up the blob over time.

Don’t want to run? Don’t die….

My guild is having a blast. Farming baddie blobs for loot and getting our good fights in with guild groups.

NovaZephyr.1293:

I have the opposite issue, having found several precursors recently. I’d say it’s just horrid RNG, which sucks because it can be a little soul crushing after a while.

I am farming a consistent high drop rate item. Not talking about precursors or exotics.

Zenith.7301:

Even at 60% capped crit damage, which is what it always should have been, Zerker will still be better than condition damage.

Please, there’s a reason everybody runs zerker, and it’s not for the “slight” difference between it and the alternatives.

Next on the chopping block should be warrior PvE and guardian sustain, especially guardian reflection uptimes. Blind should have diminishing returns, or guardians should have less access to it.

Warrior banners/FGJ duration also need a nerf comparing their utility to other classes’ utility.

Buff necromancer dagger and axe, and make necro dagger hit 3 targets, or make weapons restricted to single targets do more damage than weapons that cleave (warrior axe vs. thief and necro dagger).

Buff the terrible elementalist scepter and dagger autoattacks, especially water attunement autoattacks. Your only source of competitive damage shouldn’t be lightning hammer or fire attunement staff.

Buff ranger greatsword, buff ranger pet trait with 30% crit dmg bonus to 60% so rangers can gain same crit dmg bonus to all their damage contributions as all the other classes instead of having 30-50% of their damage only have 30% crit dmg bonus.

Give pets/minions 70-80% aoe damage reduction so they’re actually useful in dungeons and WvW in particular. Make ranger melee pets cleave with their autoattacks, and remove the huge 45 sec cd death cooldown and replace it with a 15-20 sec cd death cd.

Give weapons like guardian mace/warrior mace and shield more use.

Outright buff ranger mainhand/offhand axes. Make whirling defense usable while moving.

P.S. I’m just happy cheesy D/P thieves with 110% crit dmg bonus are history. No more 8-9k backstabs with permastealth might stacking cheesiness.

PVE content is so easy it doesnt matter what you bring…

A trinity already exists in the game ( Damage, Control, Support).

As others have pointed out DUE TO THE DESIGN OF PVE encounters, the need for control and support is almost non existent. Until that is fixed nothing will change.

Going max DPS is the symptom, not the cause, as it is the easiest way to complete content once a player gains a certain amount of experience with the game.

Anet would need to rework the fights to be less spiky in damage ( where zerker builds can just dodge the damage), but more consistent for less.

ANYONE, that disagrees with what i wrote is absolutely wrong and needs more experience with the game.

Crimson Magdelana.9024:

Best part about being on a mid tier server, is having motivation to get better and better instead of QQ’ing over population & coverage wins.

All of you elitist nerds portraying some amazing wvw skills due to pure population should try playing on a server outmanned 24/7 and still pulling off a 1st place finish. Then your bragging/complaining may be taken a bit more seriously. Until then…QQ more. Most* rather. Half of you turds don’t even understand the challenge that WvW can be as it’s all been hand fed victories since you installed the game and either chose a t1 server or xferred to it like the rest of the sore losers in gw2.

Stop crying about being bored when you purposely stack matches/servers. Of course you’re going to fight the same people forever, you idiots.

Two hour WvW Queue? I’d leave in a heartbeat. Oh yea, I already did. Much more fun elsewhere, where I can play the game mode of my choosing on demand. Instead of paying for a game and having to wait to play it the way I want to because of a queue. Tisk tisk. Enjoy that amazing finisher though….lol

SOR fought our way up from rank 17…. been there done that.

Keiel.7489:

I know server population on the server selection screen is not the best measure of WvW activity. But I think it’s a pretty safe to assume its a decent way to gauge size. At some point BG should take a look, just click on the “guest” option and you will notice that BG is the only that has reached “Full” status. I haven’t seen this since game release for any server.

But sure you guys are the underdogs of T1.

Full status has been reached a few times before, Anet kept on increasing server capacity however. Think of BG as “super full” compared to last summer.

FEAR and RET moved off…

I wouldnt say we are collapsing or collapsed, but we are def not competitive vs BG and JQ atm.

Warriors lift the most so makes sense they are fastest.

Calling Fannwong a troll is a ridiculous statement. He is by far one of the most level headed people on these ridiculous forums. Anyone that has been reading the forums will agree to this, so trying to paint him as such is probably a waste of time.

It may in fact be a troll attempt if one calls Fannwong a troll…….

Reading these posts makes me thankful I’ve been on SOR since the game launched and not having to deal with this BS.

Oh how i wish Anet would put up a permanent dolyak finisher for sale on the gemstore…. that would just be epic lulz. Can you just imagine how many people from the “losing” servers would buy that just to rub it in the face of the “winners”. Itll be a gem buying bonanza for anet.

Ok so first off, I have probably more hours played on warrior than anyone in the world, and these changes are bad. Also this is a QQ thread. Also build in the screenshot is open world farming zerk build so dont troll me about wvw build.

SoR lost to TC because they’ve pretty much imploded around the 3rd week of leagues.

(no offense)

The scores from our Week 5 match happen to disagree; and as it turns, data, unlike people, is unbiased. SoR is weakened, yes, but that is not why TC won, nor can TC currently overwhelm us without additional pressure.
We came in 4th overall due to a confluence of factors: TC was presented with more matches where it would come out on top, SoR suffered morale issues and lost some guilds, and JQ saw it fit to put us in 3rd last week.

Lol wow what an excuse that is… JQ has no reason to 2v1 against you. SoR lost fair and square. There’s nothing more to it than that.

JQ had every reason to 2v1 us. We are the bigger threat. JQ attacks us to keep us down and TC reaps the reward. It didn’t need to be planed it was just the right way to do it.

This… i wish people would just understand, that due to leagues and the way the system was setup…. ANY COMMANDER that knows what the hell is going on would’ve 2v1’d SOR.

All of the people on SOR knew this was coming from a mile away, and it was up to us to fight through it. We didn’t and that’s all she wrote. Time to move on and put this to rest.

Gratz to TC for finishing third in the leagues.

Fannwong’s posts cannot be retaliated against…. too pro.

Skeletor.9360:

First:This isn’t a flame post or troll post.

When we watch sporting events or have any competition the idea is to have a somewhat level playing field. GW2 totally fails this test. Some servers are outnumbered by entire whole digits 2+times. Regularly 4 or 5 times.

So when you are on top of the charts know full well that it is completely meaningless…….and I can hear it now…“the top pop servers are balanced”…really? try fighting a low pop server with even numbers…They fighting much tougher fights than yourself probably will crush the “top” server. Top…ya right that is a good one!

There is no attempt at all to balance this problem.

The solutions are easy and I personally could implement the coding change in a weeks time. (I’m giving myself 39 hours padding!)

Given this problem is so easy to fix yet isn’t makes a person wonder what the problem could be.

We all know that there are population imbalances. We also know that anet wont do anything about it.

Either move to a server that has good population in the TIME ZONE YOU PLAY so you dont fight outmanned.

Or stay on the server you are on and fight small man combat. You will not change anets mind and worrying about ppt will get you know where.

not sure about a 15v15 but i’d happily take you guys on, 1v15.

Qwerty will probably accept those odds. Let us know when you have your 15 together and we’ll get in touch with him for you

haha tell qwerty i’ll save a moa for him, for old times sake <3

You can just whisper him you know instead of posting on the forums, then hoping the intended party reads your post, and then whispers the final intended recipient.

Also, there is an ingame mail feature if Qwerty is not online…. just sayin’……

What you are suggesting probably will happen. Im talking to a large number of guilds now and all of them plan on spending a very significant portion in EOTM.

1) Many people/guilds are bored/ of the original maps.
2) There won’t be map blobbing
3) The map seems to require some semblance of actual strategy
4) The terrain looks immensely fun allowing it to come into play in more unique ways.
5) PPT just makes people hide inside towers and behind siege.

What i am envisioning, will be guild groups of 15-30 running around doing their own thing just looking for fights, and I am very excited about this.

This map shouldve been the original wvw map, or they flat out just need to replace the original maps with this one, otherwise I do agree, that wvw will be dead when this goes live, especially if there is a reliable method of getting your guild/party in.

EOTM simply seems alot more fun at this point and is a dream come true for guilds that just want to fight and not deal with map blobs. There won’t be any annoying coverage issues etc or care about points or whatever the scoring system is. Just stress free fighting and ganking.

Sons of Svanir and Grawl!! Sign me up…. thats heavy icy bags + heavy bag of trinkets + Corrupted Lodestone + Ancient Bones + Elaborate Totems….

Im Ukranian and been living in NYC almost all my life. I think Scarlet is meh, and its really the fault of the writers for putting out a bad story or who ever is in charge of overall story direction.

TehPwnerer.7215:

As a guild leader of going on 11 years, an avid GW1 player since beta, and gamer for over 15 years, I am getting really fed up with this game quickly. The Scarlet storyline is dull, uninspired, and a flat-out joke. I mean seriously. Everything at this stage boils down to “Scarlet did it” or “Scarlet had a hand in it.” Enough with that stupid invincible Sylvari.

Much like the poster above me, I will simply put yes, I am getting quickly burnt out on the game. After offering suggestions time and time again to improve the game (only to have a great, active thread be pushed into the Suggestions forum where good threads go to die) and seeing nothing done, I am just about done trying. I don’t expect every good idea from myself or other players to get put into the game, but at this point I often ask myself why I even bother anymore.

Mark my words though. I will not endure another year of Scarlet. The benefit is I can keep the game installed and check back every 2 weeks to see if the update will be worth it or not, but honestly, since they started this 2 week cycle of updates, content comes out so quick and so buggy that there’s no point.

This game at the moment revolves around 2 things. Gold and zerging content. It’s just tiring at this point. No guild improvements or new dungeons [no I do not count Fractals as dungeons] since day 1, aside from Fractal weapons & Guild Weapons, there hasn’t been a single additional armor set or weapon set that didn’t revolve around the gem store, and the game is just over a year old and already we’re getting recycled armor skins. Not to mention the completely horrendous, joke of a storyline we have with Scarlet.

Anti-farm & awful RNG mechanics make farming for a legendary or named exotic all but pointless since you can’t reliably farm ecto, lodestones, or anything that contributes to anything important. But hey, you can farm gold and buy stuff from the TP since the drops are so terrible. Or you can convert gems into gold since the drops are still so awful. People with gold continue to make gold by cornering the market on limited edition “prestige” (read: lucky drops) items that are no longer obtainable.

But I’m done ranting. I’ll wait to see what their plans for 2014 are and make my decision from there.

Kythan Myr.4719:

I was so eager for this game and have defended it sooooo much. I might have evenly been called a loyal fan. I am by far not even close to a “hater”, but I thought I’d never truly leave this game, but know I am not so sure.

I honestly thought I would never be this disappointed due to my enjoyment with GW1, but it is creeping up on me.

So disappointed.

Couldn’t agree more. Was a fan of GW1 since it launched and still to this day I find that I like GW1 more than GW2 and I never thought I’d say that.

Jade Weapons, Sovereign Weapons, Aetherpath Weapons, Champion Box weapons dont revolve around the gemstore…. just sayin….

I wonder if EOTM will kill wvw. I know ALOT of guilds are drooling over just running around as a group fighting other guild groups without all the blobbing. Might make the real wvw an empty place.

A simple temporary solution imo… would be to greatly increase PPT value of smaller objectives and decrease the value of larger ones.

Something like Sm 30, Keep 20, Tower, 15, Supplycamp 10, Sentrues 5 ppt?

This will split up the zerg to want to defend smaller objectives that can be flipped easily like camps as now 2 camps are worth the same as a keep. Numbers above are just examples of course.

The greatly outmanned force will still dominate of course, but say two huge even forces are on the map will split instead of blob.

Dayra.7405:

I think I read parties are guranteed to end on the same map. Maybe there is the same possibility to join party members map as for overflow maps, such that you can use the usual taxi technique as for normal overflow maps.

You mean right click > Join same overflow map?

Is there a reliable way to get your guild into the same edge of the mists map based on what we know of the current mechanics?

Did we have a couple of massive 3 way fights in SM lord room with almost no skill lag o.O

Latinkuro.9420:

Elektrolysis.1569:

The points system in WvW seriously needs overhauling. I find it ludicrous that the victor is usually determined by how much coverage a server has during off-peak hours (aka nightcapping). It’s pretty demoralizing when your server is on top during peak hours and holding several T3 keeps only to get home from work the next day to find that all the progress the server made was lost overnight or during working hours simply because they had more players online during that coverage gap. No wonder people play dead, because quite honestly, their contributions mean next to nothing unless they’re willing to play overtime. Basically, which ever server has more Oceanic players will normally win since WvW is won during off-peak hours.

Example: JQ had a lead of up to 4-5k over the weekend and quickly lost that lead once the weekend was over simply because BG had more players to fill in coverage gaps than JQ did.

so basically what you’re saying is that the war effort needs to stop because you need to go to bed, ridiculous even in real wars when the day shift soldiers need to sleep the night time soldiers guard their backs so the enemy doesn’t kill them in their sleep or wipe them out in a surprise attack during the night.

the same principle applies to WvW seeing that it is a 24/7 permanent war going on.
simply conquering territory is not enough ! conquered territory needs to be defended, to defend said territory you need coverage, peak and off peak.

This crying about losing a T3 tower or keep during off peak hours screams of poor coverage, it is not the other server’s fault you are ill prepared and do not have the coverage to defend your conquered territory.

war is not just about killing, it is about supply lines, comm lines aka TS, and back end things that need to be taken care of even before you start killing the enemy like logistics aka coverage

Real war has a lot in common with WvW.
- there are no rules in war.
- the better equipped and better prepared will prevail.
- no mercy for your enemy.
- the enemy of my enemy might be my friend, at least temporarily while our common interests are aligned.

every server knew WAR aka season 1 was coming
How each server used the time before season 1 to prepare and plan their war effort is very important.

some wars are won even before the 1st shot was ever fired
what is happening now is a reflection of the preparation plans of each individual server before the season started.

The objective of a real war is to conquer the enemy… the objective of a video game war is to have fun. Due to certain game mechanics, even if you have all the other aspects covered logisitics etc…. you will still lose the fight. Experienced players know this and frankly just don’t care as much a year after the game was released. They simply won’t put in the overtime that they may have several months back.

Your entire post is also quite funny. It reeks of a bright eyed new player that finds all of this so amazing, “like a real life war”. I remember when this game first came out and all the armchair sun-tzes started cropping up all over the place spouting the same things you are.

Yes there are certain similar aspects, but there are also many mechanics that prevent applying warfare principles. Example being that a smaller force cannot whittle down a much larger force through attrition due to down state and on field ressing. Think about that one sun tze before you start babbling on about non sensical “night gaurds”.

You even divided your post into sections using bold type…….

Maybe you should stop night capping them during YOUR “peak hours” in a 24/7 game……

Traejan.1729:

Grats to SoR for what appears to be their first win of Season 1

winning wvw is easy, get as many people as you can to play on NA servers well the majority of NA is either in bed or at work/school.

Indeed. WvW has always been this way and will continue to be going forward for league season 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. but by then most of us will probably be at that cough other game which is scheduled to release early 2014 (can’t name game as Anet is extremely sensitive when mentioning it as the mods quickly delete it)

@Traejan.1729 Far as SOR’s first win in leagues all you have to look at is our server history pre leagues. We had single digits in the gold medal first place finishes well below BG and JQ so was surprised a few posters back in they day during league prediction period thought that cycle was going to change all of a sudden as SOR did not have any huge guild influxes since.

I’m actually excited about the release of that other game…. im sure alot of people will stop playing wvw and that will ease up the blobbing… gw2 4 lyfe.

Aurust.8961:

-snip-

I understand fatigue, we’re all human after all, but was no one else willing to tag up? If you had 20-30 people on you, someone could have tagged up and led that bunch around to cap camps and other smaller targets while occasionally ninja a tower or two

Today, no there wasn’t anyone that wanted to tag up…. like I said, the fights at that point lost their fun. Maybe before or another day there MAY have been someone that would stay an extra hour or two (myself included), but not today.

Maybe if there was some chance to maintain a close matchup a few more people wouldve been around. But the current scenario is one that simply tends to snowball throughout the week. A bunch of people logging of a little earlier, a bunch logging on a bit later.

The mechanics of this game also dont help in these situations since they heavily favor numbers over skill ( not that im saying my group at that time was more skillful or whatever), but for example had this game not have downstate or on field ressing we may have had a fighting chance to whittle the enemy down ( our spawn was closer). Too often it is a pure win/lose scenario that requires you to be able to execute an utter complete wipe of the enemy ( which was not achievable at the time i was describing), thus giving ZERO chance of success. I believe its that ZERO chance that is causing alot of the issues.

In the end, it doesn’t matter, during my guilds raid times, we are having fun……..

ANET, should have basically capped servers at full for the T1 servers before the season. Or just blocked xfers. This wouldve kept the matches in relative balance, and people wouldve transferred to the favorite silver and bonze servers for their 1st place prize. This wouldve also possibly increased overall wvw competitiveness, and ANET wouldve still gotten their $$$ for gems.

The problem right now is that the fights tipped from " Epic large scale battles" to face smash.

Earlier in SOS BL during SEA, we had relatively even numbers, and some fun fights both sides wiping the other several times.

The commander leading the mixed group of rallians had to go due to wife aggro, so I tagged up and moved what remained of my guild still playing to combine forces.

BG then shows up with a hyper blob, with a large nucleus of ND. I’m the commander at this point and been playing already for 7 hours. After a few wipes it becomes clear that with that ND nucleus + full map blob, SOR has zero chance of winning a field fight.

The fights tipped from epic to facesmash. Now in my mind, im already tired from playing for 7 hours and got stuff to do in real life. Now if the fights were even sort of winnable, i may have persevered etc. But i just said eff it… too tired gotta go. No commander to replace and SOS BL basically became abandoned.

This is what I am sure is happening with alot of people. The fights simply reached a tipping point from “fun” to just annoying blob faceroll, and a larger portion of people are simply saying/ thinking “Meh been playing for a while now, just gonna go do something else”.

Dunno if you want to call that giving up, but that is the problem of overstacking. I wouldn’t quit call it demoralization, but a lack of motivation to persevere. ( Especially since this is in fact a video game that is meant to be fun.)

Combine this with the fact, that there is no chance for SOS to take second over SOR, and there is no chance of SOR taking first even if we all pull massive unhealthy overtimes, there is simply not enough motivation. All of our guild still come out for their regular raid times, but not as much beyond that.

How about skill wins instead of the zerg? Skilled players are being punished in every aspect. Just look at PvP it’s very hard to 2v1 because of the downed state.
My point is the economy shouldn’t have such a big inflation just because they are allowing this to happen. I will be forced to do this boring grind if I want to keep up with the precursor price.

OMG wow.

Don’t take this as an insult but…. you aren’t skilled. There are people with real skill who are fighting 1v5+ with videos on youtube.

The inflation is based on flippers sheer greed, lack of casual gold sinks and lack of new merchandise being traded from player to player than from player to flipper.

Flipping actually takes money out of the economy (the TP has taxes..) explain to me how removing money from the economy causes inflation lol.

Super simple, I put a buy order, the masses sell it to me directly filling my buy order, and I, as the flipper, sell it at a much much higher price actually making PROFIT. Who loses gold in the process? The average player (that usually farms). The point he was trying to make….

and by inflation, he meant the one you see on the TP. For instance, look at that black shield from last years Halloween (forget its name). Somebody flushed the market only making one available at the time and selling it at CRAZY prices, priced as expensive as a precursor…
EDIT: and that flipper knows nobody will contest his market bcz it is now in limited quantity (since the item is not ever returning)

Flipping on the TP lessens the TOTAL gold in the economy. Individually, players may make profit.

Player A has 1k gold, Player B has 1k gold, 2k gold total in the economy.

Player A farms 100g worth of item X and puts it up for 100g. Player B buys it for 100g.

Player A receives 85g ( 15% tax), Player B loses 100g and receives item x.

Player A has 1085 gold, Player B has 900g and item x. Total Gold in economy is 1985, thus reducing inflation. EVERY TRANSACTION WILL LOWER THE TOTAL GOLD.

Having some great fights this matchup, I don’t think i’ve experienced any bad skill lag once during SEA prime……. Goes to show just how great this game can be without it.

I thought i’d pop in here and let JQ and SOS know that MAG doesn’t care at all about ppt and just want great fights. Also they have the best roamers.

WoW SoR rlly going there? Ok what guilds are you talking about? BTW your 2vs1 tactic didnt go unnoticed. Get TC to push BG more with no chance to win the matchup, while you push BG at the same time and try to get some extra points for SoR?

Sadly 2vs1 will never work with TC in the mix (no offence TC) but they’re not JQ and dont have the numbers to successfully 2vs1 all week. Can’t see TC falling for your tactic SoR, But you carry on trying to get TC on your side SoR while you take their stuff LOL

You should be a detective, I just don’t get how you were able to see right through this charade…..

Ricky.4706:

that’s the difference between pvp and pve builds….pve builds more on balance and defense – pvp builds more on offense – so you will see more spikes from a pvp character – usually at the expense of defense so IF you stay alive long enough – you may have been able to drop him quickly also – providing you set your stats offensively. This is why there is more personal skill involved – because you have to dodge and kite more and not stand there in a “who has better equipment” face off.

things just don’t die in pvp – they melt!!

as a side note – I’ve noticed the opposite can be true also, if you give up a lot of offense and really bump up your defense – it’s an inverse pvp strategy as well – for example…you give up power and trade it in for condition damage – which is usually connected to health or toughness – condition damage ignores armor and now you are hard to spike vs melee characters and you just bleed/burn/poison them to death quickly.

this build courtesy of all the new pve builds that surfaced in wvw – I have a physical spike damage build – and some of you are built to withstand major dungeon damage. – but you hit like a kitten, minus all the insane condition damage #@#$

You have no clue what ur talking about….

TC so close to BG, keep it up TC…… i know you guys can get 2nd place…….. Don’t forget all the guilds BG lured away with gold from you…..

I just had to put this in here, cuz I was saving it for just this moment.

From AGG leader:

PredatoR.5247

Here to put an end to “if and when Agg leaves” rumors. We made our Chinese friends in Jade Quarry a promise that Aggression will be staying on Jade Quarry for the long run this time, longer than our longest stay on any server previously (Sea of Sorrows) during our PPT days. The rumors upset our friends and I just wanted to verify that Aggression is going to stay on Jade Quarry possibly up to our last day on Gw2.

I also believe no more transfers are needed, Fort Aspenwood and Dragonbrand could use guilds if there is an intention on having more than 3 “competitive” servers.

Aurust might be right to be so jaded, 2v1’s are very hard to organize and the PvE influx will make it harder.

However, he forgets one very important factor in regards to SoS. We don’t have anything better to do for 7 weeks. If he expects us to go off and farm candy corn, then he’s in denial.

SoS, Maguuma, even TC; will have plenty of boredom on their hands and rather than just grab our ankles, we might just decide to put a crown on someone’s head.

Right soooooo…. what happened this week then? Im pretty sure that SOS and TC especially will in fact be farming candy corn.

Fingers crossed for an SoR/SoS/Mag for the inaugural league matchup tonight.

That would be an interesting matchup IF SOS and MAG agree to double team SOR hardcore…. I mean SOR will still completely destroy them but there will be fights atleast.

Im pretty sure i would speak for the rest of SOR, that we would welcome an official 2v1 in that scenario…..

You are in for a surprise if you think anything about Maguuma will be a “pushover” scenario, ask Jade Quarry or Tarnished Coast, you will have your hands full with us let alone SoS, we can que 4 maps with skilled guilds and pubbies.
Many thanks to our dedicated guilds and players, Paralda/Pyro, Diviniya and Razi/Ark, Bony/DERP, Xushin and his pain train for making this happen. We pulled together as a server and got it done against the odds and efforts to the contrary. I’m very proud to be Maguuma right now. 7 weeks of tears gold league, that’s what you are in for, come at us bros, kitten ppt, give us an open field to wreck you in or a smoking hole in the side of a tower or keep to farm you in.

You lost to SBI, we just had SBI and SOS, our hands were most definitely not full…….. Ill give it a day before the debate about who has better roamers starts due to Maguuma QQ.

Grats to SoR and SBI for winning Coverage Wars 2, since they cant do it alone they have to work together because they are afraid of what Maguuma will do to them in open-field. Ask these guys if they feel like winners, get used to seeing this, your turn is coming in the next couple of weeks.

Oh wow, because of that scary pic now I am just sooo scared of Maguuma…..

At least you will learn to PVF.

Hopefully it doesnt come down to the point where forums are more fun than wvw like it was fighting SOS…. i’d rather not practice PVF but actually wvw.
