ok well, as I said i dont really play EB, I like the borderlands better, if i’d play there, id treb everything i can, even our own towers, jsut because im that awesome
was some fun fights with XT yesterday evening on UW Borders
I really enjoy this matchup too, also glad to see the progress Underworld has in WvW matters. I’m looking forward to intense fights the next couple of weeks before our matchup splits up again… we’ll be fighting a few weeks before something changes because I dont think UW will win every of the matchups, not even talking about the clear lead we have right now.
Im sorry but whos losing 53 rating? ( Not like it matters now anyway bcoz of rating being reset ) With your numbers that should say +50 at least
if you’d know how ratings work…
however if it was the same matchup the 2nd week in a row, the +50 would be there where it belongs to
sure thing, i came to realize i wouldnt be around today evening anyways
No I was at that fight if you are talking about the one where UW came through the south east gate and Maloki and her group came to reinforce what few defenders we had at the time. It highlights what is still a weakness with our server in that we often leave our own border with few defenders when there appears to be little threat, but are slow to react when a large invading force arrives. I only refer to what happened a little later. The fight with FR at Bay was great. I had guessed at the time that FR border must be largely unprotected with the numbers they had on ours. But Uw Zerg continued to stay in our border, making attempts at Sunnyhill and our Garrison only when we were busy with FR. We had to leave Bay (which FR then took) to repel UW, which we did. That’s where I would question their tactics. They allowed FR to have our Bay keep, improving FR’s score, by forcing us to defend against UW. After FR took Bay their numbers lessened. I noticed we quickly took much of the east side of Fr border. Only then did UW appear on FR border. Now I see judging by the current score that someone who leads on UW has copped on and noticed they need to focus FR to get second and have a chance of remaining in the tier.
I partly agree with you here, I think aswell it would have been “smarter” from us to take care of the south of your borderlands (including bay) rather than going for garrison but got outvoted here
I have the feeling you guys dont “care” much for what you own in your own borderlands until garrison is attacked or even lost. I think you see it as a trade in “they cap keep X here, we cap keep Y there”
but well, maybe the next time we meet each other
As someone that is also part of the decision making wether to invade FR or FS borders
We decided to go for FS borders pretty much the entire week for two reasons:
first: when invading FR borders, we also have to deal with FS that seem to fail multiple attempts on FR hills while we happily cap FR bay, to then decide to move on us and take out the freshly capped and therefor not fortified bay keep. I mean, whats the point on invading FR when you, afterall, still fight fs?
that brings me right to the second main reason, theres less FS on FS border than on any other map, and while invading FS borders FR leaves us pretty much alone.
After all, FS capping FR “for us” and we cap FS borders to have the same outcome: we gain more points per tick than FR
but as I wrote previously already:
gotta say UW taught FS one thing, the reaction time on their homeborder got alot better than a few weeks ago
u can really believe me, if we got to fight FR more on FR border than FS, we’d be fighting there more too, but you gotta admit aswell, there is no point on going to FR border when you end up defending briar against FS when you also can go to FS border and cap Hills quick and let that give you points you wouldnt get when you’d be on FR border
gotta say UW taught FS one thing, the reaction time on their homeborder got alot better than a few weeks ago
just come back Ezekiel :P
I still remember you
most of the stuff is sorted out and we’re having a really good progress, tough we are nowhere near we could be but thats a long way and we’re willing to go this way =)
You’re an Underworld origin, your guild states Underworld Battalion… come back to your home
hey fraklestar,
beside Cookies we got the most awesome servername, that also suits perfectly to your Necro: Underworld.
But beside that, my guild the Divine Task Force [DTF] is a small but growing guild. Our total membercount is above 40 of which at least 30 login at least once a day, in the peak hours evening GMT+1 we got up to 20 people online.
With our focus on WvW we’re also part of the Servers WvW alliance and have 3 Commanders in the guild all can give you basic infos about WvW if you’re not much into it right now.
We use TS3 for voice communication and have channels on the server-ts.
the most of our guildies are mature and also have a job or study, so we do understand if you dont have time everyday and wont rage on you.
having fun in the game is the most important for all of us
so, we got cookies, a cool server name, potential to grow due a already active core in the guild, did i miss something?
if so, hit me a message here or ingame- (mail when im offline like now, ill get back to you as soon as im ingame
best wishes from the Underworld
I just can second what Phoenix said.
The death of Blacktide as a top-tier-server and its guilds switching to lower tier servers totally destroyed the balance down here.
We are enjoying the fights with FS, FR and also previously RoF because these fights were intense and really well balanced to a certain degree, to keep that up we need to counter the rising RoS and GH.
We’ve got the infrastructure, now we need to get the population to join WvW
Nope we’re losing guilds all the time, we were just bored and tried something new :|
Well that explains alot
you’re talking about the Sunday-Evening fight on FS borderlands?
If so, it wasnt planned that way
we originally wanted to invade FR borderlands but ended up fighting FS more than FR for whatever reason FS didnt go for Hills when we presented it to them as a gift with keeping FR busy at bay… but well… so we went to FS borderlands and were actually surprised how easy and fast we managed to cap Hills then Garrison and the NE Tower
Just out of curiosity did UW get some new guilds? Because yesterday evening i have seen some new tactics of UW (spawning camping our spawn with a massive 40+ zerg.) and i haven’t seen this before by UW.
I think we even lost a guild in the last weeks, not sure tough :P
We do have some numbers, we just aren’t able to maintain them through the day, thats what we have to work on if we, somewhen, want to keep up with other servers.
also, what noone mentioned… Underworld is the most kickazz name
Interesting thoughts, but i think without map and teamchat WvW would be deserted, because i barely can imagine anyone willing to do that rob running from Point X back to point Y to report in to then sent over to point Z to instruct the team located at point Z with orders to move towards point A… get what I mean?
I think i could handle not having yak icons on the map, would make it more interesting because noone would really know where the yaks are other than people that escort them, i even think that might be a good idea to get people to escort them (in return for a better reward than just a succeeded event that doesnt give silver/karma/exp).
for the commander icons, you can try that yourself, just coordinate your server not to play with commander tags activated to try out.
Crossed swords might not even be that needed aswell, for me its basically just to figure out where the actions is when im joining the map, when im there for a while already (and commanding) i have all the reports either by voice-chat or team/map chat I need to know what’s going on.
oh god … 3 german server in one tier … flame war inc xD
hehe nicely balanced, probably around same number of Hartz IV, same amount of Feiertage (not that there are any next week but if it stays like that for a while, germany has a lot more bank holidays than for example my country), same player mentality, same language (on international servers language can be a barrier to organisation, like the big russian guild/alliance that was on our server at launch, they didn’t communicate in english at all not even their commanders when randoms were following).
dude there are playing other nationalities on DE server too – im from Austria – others are from Italy or Swiss. Hartz IV is just in Germany but sure in Austria there is unemployment benefit too! And btw I have a job!
BUT here take a look!
A statistic about the unemployment rates…
austria just 4,5%
germany just 5,4%I dont know from which country you are but exept you are from Luxembourg (5,1%) there is no less rate then Austria and Germany.
I hope nobody will call us HartzIV-receiver again -.-
There are not that many german speaking nations and I expect they have around the same representation of those countries on the servers.
I wasn’t calling anyone Hartz 4 recipient and wasn’t implying there’s a higher unemployment rate, just wittingly stating (making use of some common complaints / flames in this and previous topics regarding german servers) it’s more balanced than on an international EU server on which A LOT more countries are represented than on a german language server.
I know there’s also austrians and swiss on those servers but I also know most of my german colleagues repeatedly state that austrian’s aren’t really talking german and they often don’t understand them
Before you get mad again, I feel I can make this type of jokes because half of my collegues is german (they earn a lot more money if they work here because germany doesn’t have a real minimum wage but we do + added the tax advantage) and I live 6km. from the german border, furthermore I also make jokes about my own country don’t worry (we’re wooden shoe wearing, potsmokers who carry tulips around).As an austrian … what language do your friends think, we speak xD ?
bayrischer dialekt :P
I think ill have a look on the german forums next week to see all the details on the german matchup, should be fun to read and i doubt we’ll get a lot of informations on this forum
@FS i dont think UW teams up with Dzag, in fact we always suggest to invade Dzag borderlands, but also Dzag keeps their own borders clean. I think the main problem on this weeks matchup is that FS guys already gave up on it and your home BL seems to be a free pick, especially for Dzag that fail on UW Borders and move on to yours then. I know we capped all of your BL yesterday morning, but that just underlines my statement – afterwards we went to Dzag borders and had a good shot on Hills, but got pushed back once more Dzags came on to defend.
UW is really focussed to keep their own borders clean, that is more important to most of us than capping SM :P
I really enjoy fighting FS at UW Hills keep, those fights are lot more fun and more intense then any other fight I had last few weeks.
FS wake up, the week aint over and if you fight back, we both can give Dzag hell :P
Edit: just came to my mind I’m actually very surprised to see this idea of us and dzag teaming up, whenever we fight on dzag borders for hills, we also have to deal with FS to keep Redlake ours, why dont you guys push to Bay when you see us attacking hills? Force them to split their defense rather than help them defending by attacking us :P
(edited by Cruzyo.7304)
what i find amazing is how DE’s claim their power
Its the weekend, from my memory of the previous matchup with germans (Dzag for that matter) they are always strong on the weekend due their nightcappers, the last week they could afford to have them all the week. Still until now you guys only have a 23k lead ahead UW and 29k lead ahead FS. Weekends ending and I assume many germans – like myself – will go back to work on monday, that will reduce the amount of nightshifters for Dzag alot and I shall predict right here: Dzag will finish this Matchup 3rd.
Oh and about the bashing on the upleveld, yesterday while fighting FS on UW Borders, there was a few Dzag attempting an approach on Bay, I think it were like 15 and their total level might be slightly higher than 80 – enough said? I suppose.
(edited by Cruzyo.7304)
was some awesome fun with FS this evening on UW Borders – great to have these battles with at least one server
now that most going to sleep, Dzag wakes up, as usual
Underworld [EU] just got it uncontested
again uncontested
What Paavotar said.
And a small screenshot of our 2 undiscovered Catapults shooting the watergate, well taken after we capped it because while we did that siege, we were to amazed about ourselfs and how less effort the people on FS took to avoid losing it (not a single supply was given that night).
However about the accusations, I dont mean to brag or something, but some of your guys did glitch into UWB Hills a couple of times
anyways enjoying the matchup! and looking forward to repeat it next week
lets treb bay, just because we can

I am really enjoying how leveled and even this matchup is!
Oh I did something I’ve not done before: Invited the enemy into my party last night. I saw the lone defender having lfg up. I had to try something. I popped open my contact screen (y) and checked looking for group, and then I invited him. Whereupon I greeted him with:
“Hello there!
I am the person in the Golem punching your door”He left the party
and I cried a little
lol nice catch :P whenever i’ll be running around without group i’ll put a LFG too maybe someone will invite me
