Flaunz, exactly my words. Small RoF guild, I am in, was from beginning on RoF. Now on our forums, there were some questions about transfer.
Response from guild leaders was simple: Why? Dont you play for fun? Dont you have fun? Yes we are not first, but we try. And the comunity on RoF is here from beginning.
There was no big transfer to RoF I am aware. Some guilds left RoF. Yes. Let them go. They dont play for joy, or fun from games. They even dont enjoy playing this game. They only like to see their name on top of leaderboard. If it means playin 24/7, no RL and no fun.
There is time on RoF, that I thought that some better organisation, would be usefull. But there are more times,I am proud on RoF players, because they dont let it go.
Look today on map of borderlands. All green GH, exept some blue parts. Us. It looks like WSR just left 3W because of massive GH zergs.
But we still play and we try. And this is what i like at RoF, and this is why our small guild wont leave RoF.
I agree that there is needed some more tags. Not only Commander, but maybe Guild Captain or something.
Or just make bigger parties, so more than 5 players can join. It is really annoying that guild can cap towers, can start guild bonuses but cannot make bigger parties?Or just make guild members visible on map as orange dot. You are differencing guild members from regular server members. So this should not be difficult.
Ok fun over, i have same problem. I bought exotic armor, but never used it, only put into my inventory. Moved to another alt (guild WvW needed warrior) so I then wanted to sell that exotic which I NEVER USED. But was unable to.
And wouldnt it be nice to thiefs have same ability like warrior – 3 sec immortality?
Or maybe just give warriors rune of speed, and let thiefs wear iron armor.
So what about Outmanned buff wil automatickly buff all towers/camp/keeps with +40 toughness (that guild window upgrade). Maybe more than +40, something like +100 toughness +100 vitality.
It will affect only defenders, so You wont loose towers so quickly while outmanned. It wont help You with attack, so no to blitz overtaking, it wont affect any cost of something.
And whole problem is that your guild mates wont give you swiftness.
For example in my guild- we stack on one place, 2x ele will have staff and make that long swiftness with earth 2 and air 5, followed by air 4, swap to D/D, air 3 for swiftnes and water 4 for swiftnes, now we got more that minute of swiftness. We split to groups of 2 and every group stack on their Ele for whole time.
This is team play, this will give even warrior swiftness for a long time. Why cant you do it?
Nope thats not better. This game is not reall war with generals and other army staff.
And of course, anyone can join WvW, not only allowed troops as in real war. And last – You cant punish anyone for not obeying your orders.
Well after logging back to GH BL we cannot take Bay, what a shame. Our whole zerg moved to other BL and we were there only few.
But still, nice battle for Bluebriar.
Well some guild from Gunnar wrote on our forum that they will attack RoF BL, and they wrote it about 4 days earlier. So what the heck? Challenge accepted.
I started screaming on team chat that gunnars zerg is incoming when I saw first player of that guild. After taht RoF formed 2 strike forces, one was send to Hills to defend and recapture- succesfully, and one was send to Bluebriar to recapture and hold. Even NPC commanders on Gunnars or WSR side did not helped them.
After that, some of us switched to GH BL and helped defend Hills and we chased GH players whole way to garisson.
As someone on TS said: culling means that when You go forward, GH corpses appears from nowhere just in front of You.
And because of that annoucement RoF formed great defence and other servers zergs failed. Mission complete.
Nice lagfest at SM last night. But have to leave before end.
I was even able to heal myself for 9 times, because nobody cared about little elementalist in the corner.
-Oh hell yeah to guild calendar for planned events.
-Another windows should be guild requests, if you are trying to find someone to dungeon or 3W or sPvP and you want only friends from guild just wrote it somewhere it wil stay, not in a guild chat window.
-guild trade, windows where guild members may offer stuff. So if you need maybe 250 iron, you will first try at your guild members. Just do it similar as Black trading company just without fees, or maybe fees will go dicertly to guild bank.
-disable guild switching, but allow guild visitors, unable to use guild features until guild leader will allow them (can be allowed to chat,or calendar or other separately and based on character)
So now i thought what to do with Orbs of Power. And why dont do Orb of Power usefull? Server which will have Orb of Power will get bonus +20magic find(when it will work) or maybe +50%magic find. But both opposite servers will get bonus maybe +50power and +50toughness?
It will be still worth to get Orb of power, because of drops, but opposite servers will benefit of Your better loot.
What do You think about it?
And thats the same with RoF. Many have left RoF and transfered to other server because of “crapy” WvW on RoF. But hey, actualy we aren’t so bad because our core players are still on RoF and they dont plan to change server.
I think, RoF dont have large WvW groups. And former sPvP players are joining WvW now. Talking about you Aragiel:-D
So I think RoF will have bright future. Just look at Unredworld and Dzagonur last week.
As more and more guild will transfer to better WvW servers, more better WvW guilds will transfer to lower servers because of queue.
Hey no problem if 10 ppl are connecting. But what about 50? 10 connect instantly and the rest will be placed in queue.
Well one problem is that Commanders from different borderlands dont comunicate. What we need is official forums for each server. So request for alliances may be put there.
And of course. How many players read official forums? Thats the second problem.
So please everybody who read this topic (RoF or GH) tell about it at your server. Dont attack each other. And maybe, maybe if this reads a lot of players there will not be needed some alliance. And we send AG to lower bracket.
