Guild Wars 2

Aeros.2046:

Yaks was about as ranked as Maguuma. As was SBI. We’ve beaten them both, so I’m sure we can give Mag a run for their money.

Not to say your analysis is wrong but your analysis is wrong. Yaks has been losing themselves over the last few weeks. During the first YB/Kain/EB matchup the score spread between first (EB) and third (Kain) was only 8k points. The second round of that match-up (two weeks after the first) saw a point spread of 43k points between first (EB) and second (YB). Being in that fight I can say that yaks was noticeably easier to deal with the second round. This week alone two of Yaks’ larger guilds left (RAM and CL). Point is, Yaks is a dying server and if you think that they are anywhere near the level of Maguuma you are sadly mistaken.

Aeros.2046:

I wonder what BURN, ORL and GOAT think now. Odds are good we will be fighting them soon. And beating them. Can’t wait till we get Maguuma, and we will at the rate things are going.

Woah now, you have to walk before you can run.

Not surprised in the slightest. How can you expect zerglings to know what personal skill means.

MomentofWeakness.1246:

I should be thanking you and Ehmry for all the bags haha, since we didn’t wipe once after the fight @ North East Gate of Bay (only had 25 people on me @ that point you guys had 40+ each zerg). We should really do that again tonight it was fun doing the open field fighting, I will see what I can rally up, you guys (DB, and Ehmry) should as well. Im not sure who commanded for DB but as far as Ehmry goes, Rekz it was very nice to fight you open field since I have heard a lot about your guild. I saw some VS guild in Ehmry also, bring them to your BL you two should combine and fight us! It wont be til later tonight though obviously.

I realize this may be kind of hard for a t1.5 zergling such as yourself to comprehend but we do not enjoy running in lag inducing group sizes. As much fun as running around only being able to spam 1 is, just not our thing.

iCryptik.1496:

All servers do this. Technically it is not a hack, it’s taking advantage of certain viewing angles in windowed and tri-screen monitor setups. To report something for what anet has knowingly allowed and has done nothing to change certainly would tell you that they do not care, no?

1) Go ahead and provide sources that Anet has acknowledged and does not care about the exploit.

2) So this:

is achieved through higher resolution viewing angles? (different matchup, same crap)

yay, another matchup to fight against no-skill zergfests. God this is going to be a terrible week.

Cares Less.9631:

Haha, fail, most of the skill left, and the departure of an original Kaineng Guild that was here from day dot because of the community shows where we are headed, after the 1st mass exodus no one stood up to fill the void, with [WvW] leaving it is going to become much worse. Please explain how we rebuild unless we get transfers back to Kaineng? Will they be described by you as the next band wagonning guilds? We don’t have the coverage and the only way it can be fixed is recruiting. I transferred here and stayed when [WM] left, by choice, maybe I made the wrong decision…

Yes, you made the wrong choice. Bandwaggoners are suppossed to leave when the going gets rough. Don’t worry, there is still time to correct the error.

CrassBippy.4619:

oh rearry

He turns your zergs into bags. He is the Jesus of WvW. Bow down to your savior.

Dragonbrand:

Just like any other server their pugs zerg. Eternal is the same crappy mess it is everywhere else. The only things to note are the NA guilds (rB, BP, FIRE, and tg…I think). They have split up in their guild groups before and attempted multi-guild coordinated strikes. Unfortunately it was not very coordinated and they showed no regards to our forces movements. Needless to say, they accomplished all of nothing that day (Monday). So in terms of inter guild coordination, it is very lackluster from what I have seen.

Roaming is not extinct but the fights are few and far in-between. Most players will run on sight if they do not either outnumber their foe or have at least a 30 man zerg behind their backs.

Coverage wise you will enjoy having one of the strongest Oceanic presences currently available. There just is no competition for it until T1.

eithinan.9841:

I agree. Lets hash out how SoS losing their BL to Db was lack of skill and how Ehmry Bay losing their BL was because they were under populated.

this is what ebay was saying.

Ya know that post I had that stated out ppt during and before pve updates? Yeah…one of them was when we were versing against Borlis Pass. So here is the question, do you consider yourselves better than Borlis Pass?

KnattyDreads.1856:

If we do, close it. :p

Time to refocus our forum goers you say? Sounds good to me.

II Achilles II.8492:

There are people linking this thread in those posts to sway people away from considering eBay as a transfer option solely based on your forum presence.

There is a reason we do not have a recruitment thread as a server. Most of us want nothing to do with with anything above t3. I personally think even t3 matchups are too zergy. I realize a concept like this may be difficult for a bandwaggon server such as DB to understand but these upper server truly do stink something awful.

fishball.7204:

Pretty much except for SoR everybody PvEs more when new content rolls around. Using that as an excuse is LAME.

warsock.7830:

Our raid tonight was not a massive zerg of any sorts. rB ran about 35 deep.

See, this is the difference between you and us.

Le Rooster.8715:

What happened to the allmighty Ehmry Bay that could stand toe to toe with t1 servers during NA primetime?

We have yet to not be dropped to 60ppt or lower after a pve update. Can’t really stomp larger numbers with smaller numbers when your smaller numbers are pveing.

Le Rooster.8715:

Hey Dragonbrand you are allowed to go to Ehmry Bay borderlands you know that right?

Dragonbrand comes to our borderland just fine. SoS just sucks at defending their stuff.

I have never seen a 70 man guild fall back to hide behind siege as much as [FIRE] has tonight…

Holy crap I just got a two for one deal. My duty today has been done – signing off

I have infiltrated the holy ground that is the Yaks VOIP and I come to you Ehmry with their strategy for success. You best be prepared as all foes will surely crumble under its brilliance. Starting Monday, Yaks Bend will come out to WvW with….moar people.

Furiousbeard.7602:

Nice fights tonight GH!

Thanks for taking it easy on us :p

Was a blast! You guys were just getting harder and harder to fight with every match.

Dio.2394:

But would you take this match up for 3 months and be happy because of all the learning opportunities you were getting?

Of course not. I would not want any matchup for near that long.

saiyr.3071:

We could have stopped you from taking it by not taking it in the first place and letting you attempt to do all the work

I would appreciate that actually. I would rather have an actual challenge.

I was so hyped to control that map too. Why you gotta screw over my raid day anet
>:(

Oh Maguuma, dontcha know it is in your best interest for us to be on the FA map? Does not matter though, it was not like you could stop us from taking hills.

Stone.6751:

Anyway, I’m glad you are experiencing again the taste of losing to coverage.

Honestly, so are we. I would take this matchup over the previous any day.

I am still yearning for that yaks/cd/eb matchup though.

I see that you learned absolutely nothing from our time together. That is unfortunate.

Kodiack.2783:

Ebay crying about being night capped in that ‘other’ thread. What happened to your improved night guild? I dont’ wanna dig up the post but you guys mad a guild specifically for night coverage.

-K

Can’t tell if you actually believe that our night population should be able to deal with a t2’s night population.

Just curious, but is it usual for t2 servers to throw bodies at something and wipe for hours on end?

Hehe, had some fun with [PYRO] this evening.

raenen.5807:

Yet your still here with us. So sad for you…..

Quickly, divert all attention away from the accusation I can not substantiate via any means!

raenen.5807:

The other day Ebay made a vid of how bad AR was and in this vid you guys were using the zoom hack with your AC placement. So if your going to talk kitten make sure your not standing it it first. Its embarrassing and you should just stop before you make it worse.

Considering the numerous videos we have collected of Anvil being terrible. Which one might you be talking about?

nA 3105 E$$B$$A

Simple, to the point, and eye catching.

Kardiamond.6952:

@IIkoolaid

Yeah because it would have changed everything if we did it during the previous weeks.

Not sure if you are trying to infer that it would not of changed, but what he said is true. The golem rush was not a surprise. The problem was our quick response people is not nearly as high this week than in previous weeks.

Ratings stabalize after reset because the scores stabalize (the big server in the tier does not dominate as much). That means as the week goes on, SBI will not get beaten as badly during the week which will cause their rating to increase even more.

In terms of tier 5, that means that Ebay will lose even more rating during the week because we won’t be beating the other servers as badly.

kitten THIS kittenING BULLkitten

Ebay checking in, how about the people who asked why servers were not moving up while winning by 100k.

Can you explain what “Restarted WvW” means?

The siege bug better be fixed soon. Now the strategy is gather the biggest group you can, build golems, and bash your head into stuff. Not even worth playing now.

Faux Sheaux.6179:

I wonder if we’ll have the “I miss you” syndrome with BP and AR. We hated Maguuma to death originally, and our matchup threads with Yaks/Mag/CD/DB were always toxic. With the exception of DB (kitten em), I keep hearing “I want to play [insert Yaks/Mag/CD]!”. Always makes me chuckle a bit since I frequent old matchup threads at work all the time and can only think “you wouldn’t have been saying that a couple months ago.”

Only server I would thoroughly enjoy playing again is Maguuma during the time before SM and the rest transferred over. They were the only other server to try to solve problems with more tactics than just “MOAR NUMBARRRRSSSS”.

In case they are lurking, I realize that was the whole mantra of the AD/QQ/Sty group but unfortunately they are not their whole server.

Aeros.2046:

Obviously you were not in Eternal Battlegrounds all day yesterday. We had a massive force, all in our brand new Teamspeak rolling across the map. Every time the Ehmry zerg attempted to fight it, it would die. Over and over, and over again. Flipped all your towers, nearly got your keep, and engaged you guys in field fights in your supply camps for hours on end.

I made about 427 Badges of honor yesterday, and the 7 or so people from my guild who were in that fight made about 10,000 influence for us. Farming Ehmry. Clearly…we are not improving.

I must say though, it was Ehmry who proved dissapointing. They’ve been saying for weeks that they are superior tactically and its not a numbers situation at all. Yet the moment we field a zerg that is at last equal in size to yours, it turns into a loot fest with all of us rolling magic find gear and farming Ehmry for rares and badges.

Indeed, very disappointing.

This, BP, is the reason you guys will never improve to be an actual threat. If your solution to a problem is to just throw more numbers at it you will never improve.

KStudios.2850:

Our opponents are people too. They have feelings, families, pets, jobs, and taxes.

Exactly, so I am going to try to use those emotions to my advantage.

Ralathar.7236:

They are not the enemy, they are other people who play the same game as me. They are the competition. There is such thing as friendly competition, I believe they call it sportsmanship and it started falling out of style years back in favor of “get on my level brah”.

Excuse me, Hello Kitty Island Adventure is thataway —>

Penguin, BP and AR are adapting. They tried the innovative strategy of “throw more numbers against Ebay” last week. I am excited to see what amazing strategy they will use next since more numbers failed.

Apparently BP is rather kitten after losing for 2 months. Also Ralathar, you are delusional if you think the population of two servers does not even match the third. Especially with the fact that all three can queue up a map at prime time. Just curious, but are you even on the TS let alone play WvW?

Pestilence.3184:

Jinks.2057:

Why is BURN talking kitten?

Sorry pestilence but the only time BURN kills GF is when yall outnumber them by more than 3-1.

Also if you think 10 man squad is a zerg I dunno wtf to tell you…cause we know you all aren’t running solo/small man.

Either way I dont engage BURN until they out number me 5-1…

i aint talking kitten ARCHER is talking kitten lol hey if you guys cant take it back dont come to the forums bro. Try reading the posts further back and ya will see why i reply’d.

I KNOW ive wiped the ebay guilds i hvae VIDS of it all on our forums of ALL of your major guilds coming at us and being wiped, Like the tower defence a month or so ago. Hey i HOLD MY HANDS UP and say yeah you guys have wiped us too so what…

i aint chest thumping a aint starting arguements im simply replying to archers SUPERMAN post bout BURN you wanna point the finger at starting kitten take it up with him or reel him in.

5-1???? id like to see that.

Congrats, [BURN] can hold behind a choke point. That is all your guild can do though.

ammayhem.5962:

Cap everything else in the BL and let them have Hills. Then go to their BL and cap everything as they try to defend the hills.

FTFY

loseros.5912:

We will try a golem rush that we know will surely fail, but we need to test those new arrow carts xD after that we’ll try to kill and siege-camp the vista sporlt so they can’t build another treb to counter treb. Anyways if they build one in the mortar spot they could kill ours in the camp… this is too stupid countertrebing.

There is a spot where you can place a treb that can not be mortared. It is behind the rock to the far left of the ledge (looking towards hills). It is a very specific spot though so be careful.

loseros.5912:

Gorefiend.9675:

Kill the treb at the vista and siege down the north wall from NE camp. If they build another treb just kill it again.

Did that, 3 trebs attacking our treb to kill the one in the vista. Does the one in the camp, reach the one in the vista?

The one in the camp can reach the treb at the vista. Also, a ballista on the hill in between hills and NE camp should be able to hit the vista treb as well.

1)Kill the treb at the vista and siege down the north wall from NE camp. If they build another treb just kill it again.

2)If you have impatient people, go to the borderland of whoever is in hills and start taking stuff from them.

3)Go to the western wall and build catapults to take it out. If you need coverage build a few arrow carts of your own.

sostronk.8167:

Gorefiend.9675:

My complaint about arrow cart is that it practically forces you into two different siege scenarios:

1)A golem rush where the enemy can not respond fast enough.

2)A lengthy ranged siege that avoids arrow carts altogether.

Gamers are not patient enough for lengthy sieges so we will see even more golem rushes on everything. I already can’t stand how golems are becoming the go to siege unit, so this patch is disastrous for me.

Trebs and Catas are better options than golems. Golems take quite alot of damage from AC.

Golems take little to no damage if you use them how they are supposed to be used. Which is in a sneak attack where by the time the enemy realizes they are under attack, the golems are already punching on inner gate.
