I get this feeling that DB will be in T2 longer then they intended. Between the competition and glicko, no one is going to T1 unless one of those servers drop.

I could spend the next 6 months in tier 2.

I would rather be a stable tier 2 server than have one week in tier 1 and then lose all the guilds to, what is apparently, a lot of pressure up there.

You and me both. I personally have -NO- desire to be in T1, and I’ve been pretty vocal about that from the get-go.

In my twisted brain (and I mean this good naturedly):

T1: Elitist Hollywood Stars
T2: We be scalawags from the high seas!
T3: “Hey coach, can I play??! Please!!?”
T4-T8: “We play for fun!”

I’d personally like to drop down to T3 with our old population. Too much skill lag in this tier.

lol another rawnoodles worshipper.

DB was already strong with its SEA population, it’s basically a mini JQ…and that’s rawnoodle’s reason of picking it, it makes it easier for him to claim that “i bring this server from T3 to T1”..

Lol. I was thinking of transferring to DB just so I can claim that I personally brought that server up from T2 to T1…

You don’t even need to change servers… you have my permission to post and troll on our behalf. We need trolls. Our forum presence is poor – TC and FA nightcap us 24*7 on the forumz

Lol plz try telling me that higher tier = higher skill….. Please would LOVE to hear your reasoning…

Higher tier = higher skill. There, I said it. You may also check out the dictionary meaning of server “rank”

in this game the Server “rank” just shows how well the coverage is for that server not the skill of the players in that server.

The trick is to not bother about leveling up, and just enjoy the game. Leveling up happens on its own.

Each tier has its own style of gameplay. There’s is no reason to choose one over the other. When servers move to different tiers, the gameplay changes based on relative coverage. I enjoy this system, though I wish it were more fluid.

Having experienced every tier from T6 to T2 in the last few months, my personal opinion is that the lower tiers are more fun. Value of an individual, or a small group, is higher in lower tiers. Skill has nothing to do with tier.

T5 to T7 will be sort of frstrating for a guild like you.

I’d suggest Sea of Sorrows (T4) – they have an excellent, passionate WvW community. When we fought them last, they impressed us with their skill, passion and sportiness.

Yak’s Bend is also a nice server with a lot of WvW focus, though they’re tier 3. I’d stay away from Maguuma, though. Not impressive, and poor sportsmanship.

If you really have to go to lower tiers, IoJ seems to be a good choice.

RE. You guys are by far the best guild we have ever run against.

We will come back and give you a hell of a fight the next time around. We definitly want another shot at you guys. That was so awsome. It’s nice to fight a guild that just loves to fight. VK <3 you guys. Got our respect.

Anyone else wants to fight us. Please PM me. We’d love to.

Results don’t matter as much as passion. VK showed great movement during the fight. You must have excellent cohesion within your guild to achieve that level of coordinated movement. Respect.

It’s true that FA guilds have stood out for me personally in the match up so far. Even when the odds are against us, we like rushing out and fighting… and so far we don’t have a bad win/loss ratio from our previous matches.

Except when we see BT tags… they’ve made us think, learn and improve. Thanks folks for the good fights!

I love TC too. My tertiary guild has been on TC since beta, and I have lots of real-life friends there. I’m just stating my experience so far based on what I’ve seen on the field.

I propose a permanent DB-FA partnership to end all these accusations from TC! Let’s 2v1 them into the third place

Sour much… We saw a great fight to be had with all three servers, TC defending the toughest keep to take, can’t understand why your not just proud that you defended multiple attacks, but instead felt the need to put down the other side, you must be one of these “troll” people that I keep hearing about.

To everyone else in the double long siege, Amazing work TC, you guys did brilliantly! DB, fun racing you to inner and then seeing both our bloods run red! And FA, hope you had as much fun as I did

+1. Wasn’t at this epic 3-way in Hills, but what I’m getting out of it:

FA – Great job all, what an awesome fight!

DB – Yeah, it was epic! Great job guys!

TC – We won we won you guys are bad hahahah trollllololololol

Those from TC posting on here like this, I’m disappointed and I know TC is better than this. This absolutely is NOT the TC community that I’m proud to be a part of.

FA and DB folks, I’d like to apologize on behalf of the few TC’ers on here who feel the need to put others down at every opportunity. Never, ever, thought that I’d have to apologize for TC folks’ behavior.

Thanks champ. No need to apologize. There’re a deranged few on every server. I’d urge all three servers to not respond to needless provocations, and keep it civil here. Just because one person is a sore loser doesn’t mean that the entire server is like that.

Same goes for SAB accusations. Loki has already stated that they didn’t exploit, and that should be enough. I can’t say it won’t ever happen, because I can’t stop people from transferring over to DB. But if they do exploit, believe me that they don’t have the support of our community. We’ve been playing with NNK for a long time, and they’re known to be good sports, and for their dignified conduct on/off field.

Keep the good fights coming, TC and FA.

But t3 is balanced why must you seek world domination?

I always wonder why there’s always at least one negative comment from someone from Maguuma on any server’s recruitment thread, trashing Mags’ own claims of not wanting more people, or the importance of PPT. If you can’t say something positive about your opponents, just refrain from posting.

Those who’re on Kain and have stuck with their server through thick and thin have all my respect. Good luck!

I asked a simple question with a bit of humor in there, our forum warriors must’ve done some work on you lol. Everyone is happy with this match up because it is balanced, we are having great fights and even us roamers are having a great time now that db 2.0 is out of here. I don’t recall us trashing EVERY recruitment thread out there but you should take your own advice or pass it on to your server. Our thread has 3 pages and no trash talking after you left. I don’t believe its a coincidence, go back to db 2.0 and continue to have fun on your way to the top, I’m sure we will still be here when your server becomes unstable.

Yawn, keep wishing, buddy. I see your bitterness… and am enjoying it.

Looks like DB is doing great. Maybe they will take SoR’s place and we can come play with TC again always fun times

The scoreline doesn’t tell the full story. I’m still not convinced that DB has the firepower to regularly win this tier. We lost PPT today. And Mon-Thurs is when TC is at its strongest. And FA is always there, right on our heels. Our NA presence has been overestimated, and so have the transfers. We’ll be happy to just stay in T2 for now.

Also, T1 will have larger queues and more skill lag. So, nah, not interested

Wow, DB is leading after the weekend? Must be a first!

It’s still early days, and we’ll have to see where we belong in this tier. The first week usually attracts more players, so we’ll have to wait and see how many numbers we can muster on an ongoing basis.

I’m happy with the level of competition in this tier. TC and FA use much more varied tactics than the T3 servers, so it’s nice to remove conditions other than confusion (lol!) during raids.

T3 doesn’t have so much skill lag and has smaller queues, but the talk-to-skill-ratio is really high there (cough… Mags… cough). So yeah, overall I’m happier. I hope we’ll be able to keep our place in the tier in the coming weeks.

I like this so far being in T2( Asides from skill lag and low fps)

But I must say its nice to be in a tier where your enemies aren’t kittening about X guild/player doing X thing to X person, and having a flame and chest thump war break loose.

Things are always quiet the first week of a new matchup because the final result is actually in doubt for a change. Still though, tier 2 threads are relatively tame compared to others.

OMG today afternoon was intense. You have my respect, TC and FA. You have skill, and not just numbers.

Fear none. You probably have greater coverage than us.
EA is great at defense and tactics. I’ve heard great things about TG, Duel. NNK, KUSO and TFV are great during SEA times. I’m sure there are many other small guilds with awesome skills. We’ll let you decide

I don’t know why iLL didn’t even move/stealth.. but nice work.

I’ll tell you exactly why. Because both times the fighting was not scheduled to start for at least another minute or two.

The agreed format was 25v25 , we had a start time that was agreed by both sides setup via intermediary ( and we were using the servertime as the guide here….. since everyone’s synched to it).

When you setup a contest like this, the rules apply to everyone. It wouldn’t be a fair fight if you’re hitting people ( with superior numbers) while they’re prepping… and that’s exactly what the [bp] people did twice.

Now they’re trying to spin it like we’re bad losers? that we’re forum_warring this like "the mag mewmews that we are " ? I’m man enough to admit when i get defeated, and frankly if it was a case of superior fighting we wouldn’t even be having this conversation. But because you did not follow the rules of the format agreed on, on top of the general disrespect you showed us ( & the assistance) that match is null & void.

That’s why [bp] is just a punk guild that deserves no respect. Keep trying to spin it any way you like… You acted like punks, and now you gotta deal with it.

I heard you declined a rematch, and admitted in private that you lost fair and square. Stop with your slander and forum PR, and move on. Nobody cares.

Curious, did BP GvG any other guilds on Mag? I guess PYRO is the only one I know of that even does GvG regularly.

Given this experience, I doubt if we will. We do GvG to enjoy, practice and further our skill. When we see losing guilds post misguiding stuff on forums, it leaves a sour taste in the mouth. We have been honorable in our dealings, and yet get all this hate when people lose.

That said, if there is any interest, feel free to reach out to Grimaldi. He has less tolerance than most for petty matters/large egos, so please deal accordingly.

Two quotes from the chat in the vid:

“I think we had more than 30 though”

“That’s their idea of discipline”

Not so sure it was [iLL] who were ill-disciplined.

You should read carefully before posting. Somebody already agreed that we had 30 initially because 30 was the initially agreed number. We realized after the first fight and asked people to sit out.

The final fight was 25 vs 25, and iLL got routed again.

And for the record, we didn’t come here to gloat. Stop being sore losers. It’s a learning curve. There’s always someone better than you out there.

Typical Mags attitude. You got owned, now you make excuses. You run from fights, and then post on forum because this is the only place you have skill. I’m glad we’re leaving you guys tomorrow.

And just for the record, Mags started this discussion yet again. We owned you in the field, and then went on with our raid. You give your server a bad name.

When your status as server flavour of the month comes to a fantastic end and the exodus begins, do us all a favour and refrain from posting your heartfelt ramblings on here m’kay?

I dont wish for peoples playing experiences to be soured, but I have to admit, I won’t shed a tear for DB when it implodes. And thats nothing to do with them winning the tier.

Favor denied. And we don’t care about mass exodus. Been there, done that. Our core stays, and that is enough to trample the current Mags bunch.

Terrible sportsmanship by BP from Dragonbrand in the GvG today.

Attacking before the start time (twice) and using more people than agreed upon (25v25).
The only “skill” shown was the haphazard zerging and utter illiteracy. Glad you got your huehuehue’s off and hope you didn’t shake too many Cheeto crumbs off your beards .

Hello. I am Kaga, one of the leads of the guild [iLL]usion on maguuma.

Arrangements were made to have 25v25 GvG between our guild and the [bp] guild tonight. Sadly, the players of [bp] did not follow the rules they had agreed upon beforehand for the match. By not following the rules they had themselves agreed upon, [bp] showed a real lack of character, and rendered any results from tonight’s exercise effectively null & void.

Personally I’m disapointed. I had been looking forward to some good competitive GvG action all week long, and then you get :
- Opposing team rolling in with more people than they were supposed to (twice)
- Attacking before the agreed upon servertime (twice)
- Roflestomping your team and removing stacks/buffs prematch and other signs of juvenile lack of respect.

You know, I see people from dragonbrand complain all the time about maguuma & yaks’ claims of db being a low-quality/zerg server. I was looking forward to have a match where we at [iLL]usion could have a direct sample of actual DB fighting power, and see how our merry band of PvX guys would fare in such a matchup. Sadly all [bp] proved today is that they can’t even abide by conditions they agreed themselves, and that they DO need more guys to do anything.

How that paints the DB server as a whole is another subject matter, but I dont think it looks good at all. Keep acting like punks [bp]. I just think it’s sad that your behavior is confirming everything we’ve been saying about DB for 2-3 weeks.

Typical Mags attitude. You got owned, now you make excuses. You run from fights, and then post on forum because this is the only place you have skill. I’m glad we’re leaving you guys tomorrow.

And just for the record, Mags started this discussion yet again. We owned you in the field, and then went on with our raid. You give your server a bad name.

No drama, please. If you have issues with Raw, resolve them on private channels please.

The analogy is, if a gurl dumped her boyfriend to be your gurl, that gurl might do the same to you in the future.

With these kinds of attitude from them, we can start counting the days when they will leave Dragonbrand too for other server. Heck, some of them even have the guts of taking things out from guild bank without permission.

Hurr durr.

Your analogy is wrong. DB didn’t court any of these guilds, and if they do leave later, we won’t be affected. We’ve always had a happy, close-knit community, and your drama is not welcome here.

Your behavior, however, speaks volumes about why some of the guilds chose to leave your server, though.

Stay classy, and stop hijacking the thread.

Calvin, i understand what you’re saying and honestly you’re right. However, DB went through a very similar experience not that long ago so lets not forget how it feels to be on the other side of this equation. People do have a right to put their feelings and opinions out there.

Anyways, welcome to the new DB guilds hopefully we can all work together to further our server.

You are right, but there is a way to share opinions. All I’m saying is… it’s okay to share feelings and opinions as long as we’re civil. Personal attacks on these boards are not very welcome. It’s a game.

Let me share my 5-month old post on these forums, when many good guilds (incl. TSYM) left DB for greener pastures:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Sea-of-Sorrows-welcome-to-Tier-1/first#post759540

This is how we dealt with it back then. Many people felt cheated, we all felt let down, the server crashed from T3 to T6, but we didn’t create so much drama.

So, please… deal with it. Stop creating drama.

Just to be clear, you are citing your post history to show that nobody on DB stirs up drama?

Who cares if DB got new guilds and stuff. It’s only for the greater good. We’ll yet have to see if you guys (DB) can stand up against TC and FA. Everyone know DB have outgrown T3 badly with the stomping the past week. Maybe this will balance the tiers a little bit better. I think KN will fit good in T3 with all the guilds who left, yet I’m pretty sure they can put up a good fight there which might make it a very well-balanced tier. And as I said, DB might fill the KN role perfectly and make T2 well-balanced aswell. We simply have to see if you can even can put up a fight for the 1st place or at least have a good race for the 2nd.

Anyways isn’t this a good thing? Sometimes bandwagon is a good thing in the long-term.

Agree with everything. 4th place (1st in T2) is far away… we don’t have the coverage to match TC. You guys crushed us when you came to T3, and you’ve grown much more since then. We lost Krew, and gained these three guilds since.

So… yeah, all we can promise is that we’ll fight hard, and that we’ll be good sports

Thursday a.m. pretty much sums up T3 for the last 2 months. DB owns 95% of the maps, and yet they still have 30+ in EB, with 15+ siege, camping the spawn point. This is what T3 is right now, and is simply sad

You should login around 7-11PM EST, if possible. You’ll see lots of exciting, even matches during that time.

This was true for a while. Now sadly even this is no longer true. Logged into EB at 9pm EST last night and we had the outmanned buff. It used to be as you said, good fights, even numbers on a couple maps, but I think at least for YB people have just given up for now.
Going from the occasional EB que during our prime time to having the outmanned buff every night now, kind of tells the tale

What you state is sadly true.

Tip for Mags and Kain: Yak’s don’t like their yaks killed (I bet a few of them work for PETA!). If you wish to pick up a good fight, take a camp near their spawn and face their wrath!

PYRO took their EK yesterday, sieged it up, and farmed 40-50 of them for badges for about an hour or so. We only lost it because everyone had to go back to mag BL and defend. It’d be nice if YB and DB didn’t push our BL simultaneously every single night, but such is life.

Hey it’s a two way street. Half of our BL was owned by YB/Mags last night as well. I will say you PYRO guys are pretty dang scary

we do try : ) thank you. sidenote to db…as much as I like seeing you go. I do believe ill miss you when your gone.

? … So instead of just goodbye I’ll say so long
And as for the light by which you see me leave it on … ?

Curiousity strikes me, I know that for at least one of the guilds this is their second transfer in several weeks. Is DB concerned about these groups band-wagoning to another server again?

No.

No drama, please. If you have issues with Raw, resolve them on private channels please.

The analogy is, if a gurl dumped her boyfriend to be your gurl, that gurl might do the same to you in the future.

With these kinds of attitude from them, we can start counting the days when they will leave Dragonbrand too for other server. Heck, some of them even have the guts of taking things out from guild bank without permission.

Hurr durr.

Your analogy is wrong. DB didn’t court any of these guilds, and if they do leave later, we won’t be affected. We’ve always had a happy, close-knit community, and your drama is not welcome here.

Your behavior, however, speaks volumes about why some of the guilds chose to leave your server, though.

Stay classy, and stop hijacking the thread.

I wish this wasn’t the reality of the situation.
This is one of the reasons why tiers become imbalanced,
People on the losing servers just resign themselves to a loss and don’t even bother trying.

Then the first place servers wins by a more inflated margin every week because the other servers don’t put out their full forces ever, and less over time.

This. Dragonbrand was able to close a 50+k gap on BP and SoS after being trounced for most of the week in our respective matchups. Maguuma was able to edge out 1st place out of nowhere, if I recall correctly, against us in the lower tiers. Yes, coverage plays a factor, but ultimately it comes down to how much people want it. We could’ve easily “given up” while we were behind.

We never stopped trying against KN, TC and FA during their visits in T3 – our numbers were just not enough, but we were out in force all the time.

Guess some servers are just cut from a different cloth.

I won’t generalize an entire server’s approach, but what you say is so true otherwise. I know Yak’s did try to rally their troops this week, but I’m not sure if there’re many WvW-centric guilds there. I guess their pugs let them down.

I still remember the week we (DB) came back on Web/Thurs against SoS just recently. It felt amazing!

Welcome newcomers to Dragonbrand.

There have been many meetings and conversations in the past week between current Dragonbrand guilds and guilds that are moving to our server or thinking about moving. One of the primary reasons Dragonbrand is so attractive to various guild right now is the stability and lack of inter-personal(or inter-guild) conflict within the server.

There are no guilds on Dragonbrand that refuse to operate on a map when another certain guild is present. There are no egos that refuse to operate on a map when other egos are present. There is a level of civility and politeness that is the norm for the server. No guilds lord it over other guilds. Both BP and NNK for example(the largest NA and SEA guilds on Dragonbrand respectively) ask for help, they do not demand it.

We hope all newcomers can set aside whatever egos they might have and follow such traditions. We don’t want chest-thumpers, or forums warriors. We don’t kids that don’t play well with others.

We want stable, mature individuals and guilds who want to help build our community and have fun with us.

So far RE, rB and AGG, have upheld those standards, and we welcome them and anyone else like them to Dragonbrand.

^ This captures the essence of our community so well. Thanks Caliburn!

Thursday a.m. pretty much sums up T3 for the last 2 months. DB owns 95% of the maps, and yet they still have 30+ in EB, with 15+ siege, camping the spawn point. This is what T3 is right now, and is simply sad

You should login around 7-11PM EST, if possible. You’ll see lots of exciting, even matches during that time.

This was true for a while. Now sadly even this is no longer true. Logged into EB at 9pm EST last night and we had the outmanned buff. It used to be as you said, good fights, even numbers on a couple maps, but I think at least for YB people have just given up for now.
Going from the occasional EB que during our prime time to having the outmanned buff every night now, kind of tells the tale

What you state is sadly true.

Tip for Mags and Kain: Yak’s don’t like their yaks killed (I bet a few of them work for PETA!). If you wish to pick up a good fight, take a camp near their spawn and face their wrath!
