Guild Wars 2

Archer.1658:

Sigh this match up is ridiculously boring. No one on AR or BP is a challenge.

Run with fewer than 30 people when you are looking for that solo player.

“Steel > Wood”
Not when it comes to building a campfire. And who doesn’t like s’mores?

Alright EBay I need to go to work, you can have that supply back now. I only do it because I like you and you seem to enjoy when I badge farm you.

@KStudios So even with greater numbers EBay could not halt the glorious CHAR (only see 3 players in that picture)

@llkoolaid One mesmer one ranger with bad root timing. I’m sure you are under the impression your players are in some way superior to the other servers, they die just fine though.

Was in Eternal Battlegrounds getting back into the swing of things on my ranger, and to the 2 EBay commanders I killed, sorry, I see that buff and I just can’t help myself…

Considering what a ballista is/does in real world terms we are lucky they don’t knock back and pin us to the environment behind(although that would be really cool).

Nah Faux he was trolling because he got wrecked somewhere and has no other venue to express his anger.

@Straegen With a few random defenders trickling in I’d give ya the 10

@Jinks You can’t solo with 2 people and if you can’t take an upgraded camp with 2 people in under a couple minutes I would strongly encourage you to rethink your trait set up. And taking a supply in that length of time strongly makes me question your ability to kill any player let alone several to the extent that it would cost near a gold in repair. Nice troll though.

Why is it that on these forums when a server wins it’s always because that server is so much better and when that server finally moves into a situation where population becomes their issue that the server that’s no longer winning complains about how zergtastic the opponent is? Yes EBay has a more stout and consistent presence in WvW, yes they have bad players, but they also have good players, same as BP and AR.
All in all I have been having fun learning a new class and have had a few fun fights. See you on the field folks.

@Kardiamond I saw your necro at the Veloka defense. I was on my new necro, fun stuff. Had a few 2 v 1 on him in EBattlegrounds yesterday. Was a little disappointed when the AP tower guards interfered with my 2 v 1 on that EBay guardian and up arrow warrior. Still getting a handle on the class and that was a good long fight.

Placing an arrow cart behind a gate that has a huge opening above it, one would expect to be hit by arrows, and the damage is under 400 a hit off a ram, nothing unfair about it.
I would like to see escort guards be useful i. e. allow the escort the ability to revive the dolyak if just the yak and not the guards are killed, in it’s current form the guards vanish when the yak dies making it a useless upgrade(the yak makes it past most NPC threats 90% of the time with no guards, and the guards occasionally get busy and ignore their sworn duty.)

Kalkz.5297:

Come on AR, Hit BP harder for the 2nd place and Leave Ebay untouched, You can do it, Push BP harder, HARDER!

This from the server that started in ARBL and continues to push it. Push harder for second Kalkz, harder!

Sure sure. I hear if you pull the covers over your head and say it three times that it makes real.
Amazing how easy this is btw.
See EBay players, you aren’t the only ones that can do it.

Dovgan.8605:

No joke at all, just hide from Borlis until they log out for the night amiright? It’s ok though, outmanned is making up for the lopsided battles over on AR.

I’m guessing you don’t understand how EBay works yet.

I could figure out how EBay works after the first time we met, and I said then that we would be seeing you again. And here we are. Reality is a person could figure out how EBay works after about 30 seconds of play time.

Here is the problem, you aren’t going to demoralize AR, it just doesn’t happen. This server has been beaten on so many times, we are beginning to enjoy it. But keep up the tactic of run and hide from BP, they are scary, I know!

No joke at all, just hide from Borlis until they log out for the night amiright? It’s ok though, outmanned is making up for the lopsided battles over on AR.

Didn’t realize just how afraid of Borlis Pass Ehmry Bay was until this reset. But this Eternal Battlegrounds map just shows how afraid of BP they are. Keep up the good work BP!

1 v 2 like when Ebay is hitting Mendon’s while BP hits Ogre? Thank goodness that doesn’t happen. Seriously though was odd that both BP and AR had outmanned in Eternal last night. Just how many awesome PvPers does Ebay have?

Thanks for a lot of stuff today AR and BP. There was just so much zerging.

fixed

Gotta admit though, already have a stack of badges on my lvl 66 necro, keep them bodies coming.

Super surprised that stuff like this doesn’t just shut my computer down. No culling is awesome, outmanned buff with no repairs, extra awesome. Fun stuff. This is just the first part of the stream in, they kept coming, and that doesn’t include the 10 that ran after one guy around the tower, you can see them on the lower level.

Good match, fun fights. A couple pictures of the end.

1. Darkhaven needs more players?
2. You go thief, killing up arrows is hard, you should celebrate! (DHE aren’t really your elite are they?)

All in all though, fun week. Leveled my necro up to 40 mostly in EB (the second pic is of my poor dead newbie).

Well, if AR does wind up moving up a tier, I think that DR may be surprised by how stout the player base on DH actually is. Definitely can put bodies on the field. Has been a fun match up with DH, really wish IoJ could field more folks more often, but I guess people need to sleep, eat, work, etc.

[KAOS] is a newly formed guild on Anvil Rock looking for members that are into WvW. No experience is required. MSG in game to Dovgan.8605 or Glitterkitty.8213.

Funny right now, so many people on AR are so used to playing BP that they are gung ho to keep pressing into DH. Personally I say let DH get some ground under their feet before reset, don’t want to be going up against a demoralized DH. IoJ, you keep doing your thing, love seeing your little groups pressing into the fray, takes heart, and you guys do have heart.

Oh man, this is not going well at all. Can we get some NSP in here?

Do we have the shortest match up thread this week, without mod intervention? Something terribly wrong here. Let me assist. DH player say AR are terrible pvp players, they are nothing without numbers. Now IoJ player you agree and say “LOLZ I can roflstomp 6 AR solo buncha newbz.” And we can go from there…

IoJ, you took my supply camp in DHBL. I am very disappointed in you. Very, very disappointed.

Your current match up thread is hilarious NSP. Your board warriors are willing to point fingers, make outrageous claims, and make themselves look utterly foolish just so no one has to admit NSP’s short comings are due to NSP. It’s cute, sad, but cute.

Speaking of coming in second, what’s the score in tier 7?

I know there are some good decent players on NSP, but the amount of trolls that post, and the constant QQ about the low numbers. Is a huge percentage of NSP bitter crying players now? I hope not, but if they are and you are on NSP and want to get away from that, feel free to come on over to AR!
Also I find it funny that NSP is posting on a thread that’s over 2 months old.

The sweet tears of your fallen rivals could be yours too if you join us! On a side note, your tears of failure only make Anvil stronger. Keep on trolling, let the community know what NSP is bringing these days.

Hats of to Darkhaven. Nice to have an organized, tactical opponent in this tier. Clear to see you guys have made improvements overall and aren’t stifled by guilds that have little to no concern for their server and just want to feel like they are the best of the best… wait for it… in tier 6.

I play off hours, prime time, odd hours. Never once had an issue finding something to do. This tier is probably what Anet had in mind when they thought up Wv3. Glad it costs money to transfer now, because pretty sure most people in tier 6 would agree, Wv3 is fun and competitive without queues or pressure to have to play. Lower population for sure, desolate wasteland of no players, hardly.

@anthsss How’s 4th … oh that’s right …

I know Anvil, that’s odd….

Nothing like an almost 5 minute fight 3 v me at Danelon, then the probably least skilled player I have ever run across after finally winning /laugh, unless you were laughing that your two cronies had to scrape you off the floor twice.

@Aeros I’m not saying that BP doesn’t have these types of players, but if you really believe that, I have to laugh. Of the three servers, BP is the only one that can outman the other 2, the only server that can produce multiple 25+ combat markers on a map. If you don’t realize you have a much larger population than the other servers you are playing and are trying to chalk it up to “aggressive mindset” you are clearly oblivious to the game you are playing. Either of the other 2 servers could do the same thing if they weren’t wading through countless enemy players. Congrats on PvDooring a keep though.

Wish I could have been there when the first large group hit a supply camp that was just flipped so I could witness the carnage.

Every server feels they have the superior players and the higher level of skill. That’s just human nature. I don’t come on to a forum to expound on how great I am after I win a fight, nor do I cry numbers when I lose. Some players feel they need to do that to make themselves feel better. That’s not how you improve as a player, a group, or a guild though. When I fight other players I try to learn from it, win or lose, to see how I can improve on what I did. Different people do things differently though.

From the standpoint of an AR player who usually avoids zerg play, I can tell you from my experience, Borlis Pass seems to have a larger and more consistent WvW player base. Northern Shiverpeaks has an amazing reset turn out and begins to dwindle around Sunday evening. Anvil Rock has a decent WvW population, but it is primarily militia, and not larger, organized guild groups. In fact most of the time it’s several people from a multitude of guilds and guildless that you will run into from Anvil Rock. I’m sure the other servers have different perspectives. That being said, if Anvil could organize it’s militia, it may turn into a far better force in the WvW arena.

And the NSP mad dash for second place begins!

Anthsss, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. If you are having fun in WvW you are already winning score or no score. There is absolutely no point currently to even play WvW, it’s expensive, the returns are abysmal, and there is no level of fairness in it what soever. But a lot of people are drawn into it because they like the challenge, the thrill of large scale battle, and when you do something amazing, it feel amazing. Just have fun and stop taking a game so personally.

From an AR standpoint, NSP did really well in the beginning of this round, but not as well as AR did last round in terms of keeping it a close match. Those are just the realities of the last 2 rounds. WvW has very little in these tiers to do with skill, and more to do with keeping players engaged all week.
As far as BP throwing everything they have at NSP, I don’t think you’ve actually experienced that yet.

Well, maybe it will help you guys on NSP out next round. I think you guys have a really good server and some fun players. Who knows, if you maintain the lead for a little longer, maybe it will hold your more fair weathers in the round to the end of the match.

“My point is that you can’t win by attacking the 3rd place server, you will never gain enough PPT to overtake first when first owns all of 3rds eb”
Considering this is exactly what NSP continued to do in EB after BP overtook them I would say you are correct. Instead of taking the fight to BP you leaders were happy to attack AR areas while it was being hit on the opposite side by BP forces.
Consider this, all in all both NSP and AR did the exact same thing, just at different times of the week.
I could care less about the end of week scores though, not like we get a special prize for it, just a “Reset!! Go kill the heck out of each other … again!”

I think it would be helpful to have an identifying color to the members of a squad for those who have joined, and maybe at the very least some quick links to number of squad members and total amount of supply, this way you have fast info on hand without a large UI to deal with, and avoid playing to the UI. Also an option to have the icon only show to your squad members or the map would be extremely helpful.
Just some random ideas.

I have to ask, anthsss or you either new to NSP, this match up or WvW? Serious question, really.

dank, that’s hilarious.

I have to say anthsss has got to be the most upset forum poster I have seen all thread.
Please fill out this form and return it to the correct department.

Form

Oh it’s simple really. The times AR was in first only to have lost the lead the night prior to reset AR was playing for second. When a large number of AR takes off some NSP commanders work with BP to secure second place, which at this point may not happen, but they outplayed AR by conspiring with BP and not, seriously not riding the coat tails of the server in first place … until AR passed NSP in the score, which clearly shoes AR is working with BP to secure second place, which they surely were playing for all along!

That is the insane idiot logic I have pulled out of this so far.
