Guild Wars 2

Ah, I’m sorry, I wasn’t clear in the post (I had to change my title because it could only hold 50 chars)
What I’m talking about is the aftermath of guilds transferring away from a server.
And you haven’t heard about our servers because you won’t see us whining about it, exactly my point, people need to stop complaining.
Last week it was underworld and Aurora glade, this week it’s Gunnar’s hold.
Now the GH people are going to be spamming that stuff all over now.

People need to stop complaining about it and do something about it themselves instead of relying on others.

Annoyed with all these whinings from people about Server transfers ruining their world.
Seriously people, grow some balls.

It’s not the end of the world, go get coordinated, make a community forum, make the peodple aware of it, get some organization, start making some decent WvW oriented guilds, etc…

We at RoS (my server) and FoW were literally the very first servers to have been hit by that problem and you don’t, or HARDLY see us whining about it. Sure it’s tough, being at last drops the servers morale but we’re trying to do something about it.

The first thing I did was get commander when all our current ones left. Stop crying about it, they’re not coming back, ANet isn’t gonna do something that’ll change your current situation, only YOU can do something about it.

What I did was get commander, make my guild WvW oriented and pushed other people to get commander, if big guilds aren’t gonna lead your server, then you can only rely on commanders. We have 0 big guilds here only some small ones.

And look at us now, we’re kicking kitten in Last tier, sure it’s against other small servers (vabbi was hit by the same problem, all the Russian guilds left) but oh wait, I didn’t see any people from vabbi crying about it (not yet anyway).

So seriously people, grow some balls and do something about it yourself, don’t expect everything on a silver platter.

~Rage out from a person in RoS.

It’s an intense battle on FoW’s part who are trying to surpass vabbi this week in ranking points, looking at the current standings it’s pretty much certain that RoS will come first, FoW second and Vabbi last unless some upset happens (Except for RoS, they’re pretty much sure of first spot)

Now, the real question is: will vabbi do something about it or let them steamroll over them. We (RoS) are not really giving them much leeway to attack each other, the only time when FoW gets most of it’s point is during the night as they have sadly more people on at night than even RoS. And Vabbi were majorly absent today.

So will FoW manage to surpass them this week ? or will it be for next ? The difference now is about only 23 points.

Cheers from RoS.

Oh and FoW, we had lot’s of fun yesterday with your upgraded garrison bay and hills, keep on upgrading please, it’s no fun otherwise (2 golems teared through vabbi BL in about half an hour since thy hadn’t upgraded anything)

Let me tell you our Story (Ruins of Surmia)

We were a small server from the start, already had few people but some good guilds, but then midway the first 1 week battle they all transferred away to Vabbi, That was the first exodus. Because of that more people left, it caused a snowball effect. There were already few ppl in PvE , but after this there were even less, and then the PvE’rs left, this was the second exodus. There are still people leaving everyday, but not as much anymore. There were small guilds left in the server, and not even 1 medium sized WvW oriented guild. We got together and got some organisations, slowly our numbers are growing.

We didn’t actually have many people transfer to our Server. Some did but then left again, only the tough ones chose to stick, and those weren’t many.

So the results we have now are the ones we fought for ourselves.

Sure the server transfer ruined us before but the tough people chose to stick and those are the ones you can count on. Even if some people transfer again, we won’t be having the same problems anymore. We will rise again!

Therefore, you should stop whining and stop relying on the bandwagonners. And do something about it yourselves.

Direngrey.1247:

That’s so stupid it hurts.
Why the Hell did ArenaNet make WvW a part of exploration?
Jesus…

So people like you could discover WvW, whether you like it or not.
Some even like it.

I know several people who have done that.

It’s sad that you’re not looking into EU servers, but if you change your mind, Ruins of Surmia really need some Night presence because we have almost no one on at night, while the others do (Whiteside just because they have the sheer numbers and FoW who have a commander who’s on at night, together with his guild)

Not dying, but downing.

You get down penalties for dying too quick in repetition, and you can actually die almost instantly.

Hell, sometimes you don’t even notice you’ve downed and rally back really quickly, it happens that fast when you’re in a zerg.

had you gone down a few times just a bit ago ?

yes it refers to camps as well, it refers to everything you can claim.

Could we still get a 5% increase in health for each Server please ? I like having a bit more health as an ele >_>

Im jealous so i took kitten of my Character Aswell. Rolf

Learn to put down some siege xD

Ilesyt would like to point out to Siofra that Ilesyt buys a lot of siege and I saving badges for invaders. If Siofra’s plan were to come true, Ilesyt would be unable to buy siege Anymore.

That would also mean that bigger guilds will be able to get out more Commanders and that more random Commanders might try to become commander, if even for a week because the prices would be much lower.

Siofra Crumble.2098:

Siofra believes the commander book should be bought with badges of honor and a hefty amount of karma/gold.
And Siofra also suggests the commander book should be temporary.
Siofra says the commander book should reset once the match is finished.

Siofra believes this would lead to commanders actually investing time in WvW and/or are at least doing a decent job.
Commanders who aren’t cut out for the job will eventually stop buying the books this way.
And they have a way out. Right now, commanders are stuck to their role.
Siofra knows that you can disable the commander status but people will still recognize them, hence forcing them to become a zerg magnet again.

Ilesyt believe Siofra is crazy.
Ilesyt likes to have Invaders set or otherwise some money.
With Siofra’s idea, Ilesyt will be broke and unable ato buy Commander anymore.

Ilesyt has a commander on ele, He has died 2150 times.
But Ilesyt is enjoying ele alot.
Though he would like to get commander on another character too.
If that doesn’t happen, Ilesyt will have to pay 700 more gold for Commander on every class he will create.
Ilesyt is sad.

On a Side note, Ilesyt has collected 650k karma atm and has bought 3.5 karma sets already. He also has 350 skillpoints after having activated all skill points, even the Elites and he’s a norn.

Ilesyt would like to make Superior Siege, but he can’t because he always has to put down the siege, and superior siege uses up too many regular for just 1 siege.
He prefers to keep 5 rams over making 1 superior ram.
Otherwise Ilesyt will be even more broke than he already is.

I think Seafarer’s has around 40-50 US players, Blacktide has some too. And so does Far Shiverpeaks. It’s just that they don’t have a big Guild.

Pretty sure there are a canadians in almost every french server, though in some more than others (VS, Arbor,…)
Baruch Bay definitely has some latin guilds, agains can’t say how many.

Ruins of Surmia has 4-5 US players, I can confirm that personally xD

This same thing happened to us, or something similar.
Last matchup the orb bugged fo r3 days in their favor. Then when the matchup started, it bugged in our favor. After maintenance, vabbi has the orb, as if that wasn’t enough, the orb is bugging in their garrison too, so they have 2 bugged orbs + way more numbers than us.

Rizach.4852:

if you are worried about falling from cliffs, you should roll the anti cliff class, necro. Necros are the underdog, but they can reduce falling by 50%!

Every class (except Elementalist) can reduce falling by 50%

Sadly yeah, but the cliff deaths weren’t that numerous though, maybe 100-150 ?

I know a thief who has 1700 deaths, so do your best! xD

do /deaths then you’ll know how many deaths you have .

That is: Me making excuses for the high death count and to prevent others from saying that I have so many deaths because I just am “bad”.

I have an ele btw.

Again: Topic is: Death counts, Can you go higher ?

I know, Siftariel right ?
I was talking about ignicity’s comment.

Errr , what does that have to be with asking for you death count ? :p

Also I’m in the second last ranked server in EU where we are outnumbered almost ALL the time. And I don’t care about dying and paying repair costs, cause I have fun going into 5 vs 1 fights or 15 vs 5.

I’m wondering if I have the highest death count.
I got over 2150 deaths atm. Will post a screenshot later.
Anyone who can do better ?
Oh yeah, I play WvW a lot and I tend to charge a lot.
If you meet me 1v1 8 chances out of 10 I will kick your kitten

Type /deaths if you want to know about your deaths. About +- 100 deaths were in PvE

ruins of surmia , we speak english.
No Queue.

Ilesyt.7084:

FoW has apparently given up to fight much during the day, so we’re basically the only server bringing the fight.

Most of our dedicated WvW players are simply only available during what you call the night (sun can’t shine everywhere at once). Our attacks have nothing to do with your actions or when you decide to attack. FoW has been able to take control of all of 2 borderlands and much/most of EB quite a few times this week, but as Vabbi heavily outnumbers us most times (as well as RoS players moving in on us) we can’t hold everything once their zerg wakes up. Just wish your orb wasn’t glitched permanently in your posession at Askalion hills… My friends and I loved stealing it from The Spiritholme and hiding it in the jumping puzzle…

Funny cause FoW was almost nowhere to be seen when we first got vabbi. But when you noticed that we kicked vabbi’s kitten during the night, you guys started showing up more and more.
First it was still early, when we were on a lot. Then slowly, day by day you guys got later and later.
And don’t tell me that wasn’t intentional because it definitely is. I’m not saying that your tactic isn’t good, because it seems to be working, you’re making us bleed.
But none the less you ARE leeching from us.
Again today during the day, you guys were nowhere to be seen.

It’s sorta not motto’s anymore but some Quotes lol

Lol something strange happened during a RoS capture too.
We were fighting Vabbi, and taking back our tower. We were like 7-8 guys, no Orange swords.
Now, we’re breaking down a door and then a vabbi just comes running in (from north, even though they have garrison, We were hitting Dawns). A few seconds later another one runs inside. Because we were few, we didn’t manage to stop them. We had only 1 ram up and seeing them run in 1 after another every 20-30 secs or so we didn’t dare put a second down. After the 15th time this happened, Like really 15 guys ran in 1 by 1, we thought we were screwed. But what actually happened was, the vabbi saw there was no one else besides them, they would just portal out!
When the gate was almost down, there WAS 1 guy who had the guts to stay, but the moment he tried to repair, we got him down and he logged off when we broke the door.

If only they had the guts to stay in the tower lol. Afraid of dying even once.

Don’t be sad wizard, now the epic battles begin. The bandwagonners have left and what remain are the hardcores, the resilient, the sturdy. The ones who truly matter for your server to get stronger again.

Soon those guilds that left for Gandara will leave there too, leaving Gandara crippled too.

I speak from experience, my server Ruins of Surmia had a lot of guilds transfer to Vabbi who lured the bigger guilds with sweet talk. Only recently we discovered that they left vabbi because they couldn’t handle the night capping and thus became the night cappers in an US server.
Vabbi then dropped to the lowest tier to us

Despite all that, we in Ruins of Surmia will welcome you to the lowest tier because the Russians in Vabbi got tired of us “idiots” (as they call us) already. And don’t want to stay in the lowest matchup. Now if only they hadn’t called us idiots
Another matchup in the lowest tier coming right up vabbi!

PS: after all those guilds left, there was only 1 commander left who had just bought it, soon after I also bought commander to help out the server, which it did. You can’t rely on the organized guilds anymore. You need as many good commanders as you can. Spread out over several timeframes, and start making ninja squads.

Oh btw, All those people complaining that your server is in the worst position: well it’s not! There are way more server in a much worse position. And it really pisses me of when they start QQ’ing about all of that. Even with your population loss, you probably have way more people than us (RoS)

About the invisible bug:
The blue map is bugged, that same thing happened to use before during the last 2-3 days of the previous matchups. That’s when the bugg popped up, Green would have our orb and we couldn’t get it back.

Now same thing has happened, but now in our favor, the orb stays blue, even if green takes the keep, it’s really just invisible.

Ruins of Surmia.
Right now we’re ranked second.
During the day we’re bashed by the russian server that has a LOT more people. FoW has apparently given up to fight much during the day, so we’re basically the only server bringing the fight. Vabbi upgrades all the towers and SM.
During the night, most of vabbi goes to sleep. But we capture stuff while is around even numbers, hell even less.
And when we are more than them, we take almost everything. Now, when FoW sees we’ve taken everything, they start getting in action. They come attacking our towers and keeps wo we have to fight on 2 fronts until the vabbi logs off, then we have to FoW.
During the night our guys slowly logged off, unlike FoW we’re bringing, or trying to bring the fight during the day too. FoW is basically leeching from us. We HARDLY see them ever attackiing vabbi, all they’re doing is trying to bleed us so they can have more points than us.
Sadly I must say their tactic is working because Vabbi always focuses us during the day and FoW has free play all the time, even during the night when they have more players than us. Our gap between Vabbi is increasing, and the gap between FoW is sadly not increasing enough.

But even then, we RoSes do not give up, we never surrender!

Do not worry about the ping because apparently the European servers are on East Coast, USA.
We could use your help during the night.

Ender, Zephyr’s Boon is SO not a waste.

Never give up, Never surrender. Go RoSes!

Don’t worry, we got a mesmer in that keep, we’ll take it back when they’re gone.

Ilesyt.7084:

I’d like to see them try.

Signed, DD Ele.

RTL (when it works), fire #3, lightning flash, and mist form will only get you so far when he’s got a mess of cripples and immobilizes.

Zephyr’s aura, and pop electric aura. He get’s stunned and you got speed boon. And then there are so many possibilities, you can just rtl, go to water and cripple will be gone, if it’s sitll not gone, cleansing wave, and then there’s frost aura in water, he attacks you again, he gets chilled
Besides if it’s 1 on 1 I’ll just own him when I have electric aura on.

I’d like to see them try.

Signed, DD Ele.

I would say, come to Ruins of Surmia and try us out for 24 hours, but if that’s the reason you’re leaving Underworld, then Surmia might not be something for you, only Sturdy and resilient people come there.

I got 2k+ deaths, and I’m not crying, problem is your mentality. Take it like a man!

Ruins Of Surmia, No queue. outnumbered all the time but we don’t give up.

Good Job, now the people who were rooting for Kaineng will be rooting for Ferg.
…
Me included.

We are still looking for Guilds to transfer to Ruins of Surmia (US guilds where are youuuu)

Oh please, SBI hasn’t even gone to the depths of despairs the servers such as Ruins of Surmia, kaineng, etc have gone through.
What you describe happens all the time with us. Before our current matchup we were fighting constant german zergs, that had the maps filled with players almost all the time. Even when we put all our players in 1 map we wouldn’t have as many as the germans would have, and we DID have as many people we would drive them off our lands. We fought for every crumb of points we could gather.

So really, no, Not SBI, not any other server who’s not in the lowest tier, whatever you say, you’ve NEVER had it as tough as we had.

People in the upper brackets should just stop trying to make it seem that they got a lot of fighting spirit because fact it. Remaining in the lowest tier server, or remaining in a higher tier server require different amounts of fighting spirit no matter how “outmatched” you were.
Therefor only the last and second last tier count.
Also about the ‘switching’ tier from last to second last, you atleast have hope to going higher, while the last 2 such as: Devona’s Rest, Kaineng, Fissure of Woe and Ruins of Surmia have to fight much harder to even think of winning and have very little chance of going into an upper tier. Therefor these 4 servers are the winners of this contest, kthxbai.

Been on Ruins of Surmia since day -3, and the ones who remained at RoS are the ones full of fighting spirit. When The Exodus happened, lot’s of guilds left, but the ones who stayed didn’t give up, even with Das Zerg upon us all the time. Now We’re fighting the RuZerg BUT we’re recuperating, soon we will get strong enough to fight back!

I thought the player cap in the BL’s was 100 and 150 in EB ?

Ruins of Surmia is looking for Small/Medium Guilds and Solo Players from all around the world.

As the title says, our server is looking for small/medium WvW oriented guild or solo players.

What do we have to offer ?

• Currently there are no queues on any map, if there are, they are very short and on only 1 map and they disappear really quickly, since “The Exodus” we have had a queue only 2-3 times in 1 map and it was gone within 10-15 mins.
• Very fun and close community who don’t know when to quit and are very dedicated.
• Small organized groups
• An international English speaking community, even though we have people who have several different main languages, we all speak english to communicate.
• Sense of accomplishment and growth
• An Evolving primetime depending on our needs. We’re very flexible. We’ve adopted nightcapping (A quite late primetime) to counter the current RuZerg from Vabbi. It is actually just us dedicated Eu players who want to make a difference.

You’re an US/Oceanic/Insomniac Eu/etc.. Player looking to transfer ?
Fear not, for you will not be alone wandering around in a ghost town.

• We have atm a quite late primetime and you will meet lot’s of players online.
• We also have a guild called the Surmian Nightwatch, it is aimed at the Eu Insomniacs that we currently have, the Oceanic, Asian, US players wanting to join a guild to not be left alone. It is currently still building.

I might have aimed all of the above to the people over the pond, but we are also looking for small/medium Eu Guilds and Eu players not in a guild looking to transfer.
If you are solo, we have plenty of small guilds recruiting for players.
Still not sure whether you would like to transfer or not ?
Why don’t you try us out for a day or 2 ? The free transfers are still running and if you don’t like it, you can just transfer back!

Are you still hesitating because you will lose your upgrades ? I can only ask you to just try us out once, I am sure the fun you will have will far over-weigh the negativity of losing your upgrades. Besides you should have your upgrades back to the level you are at currently quickly (3-5 weeks ?)
Think about it: you and your guild members can play WvW together, wherever and whenever you want! Would you rather have fun with your guild and rebuild the upgrades ? Or do you prefer to queue up seperately to have a glimmer of fun and keep your upgrades ?

We at Ruins of Surmia welcome you!

P.S.: We also have a community forum: http://ruinsofsurmia.enjin.com

~Ilesyt

In ruins of surmia we all have only small guilds. And so far I haven’t seen a guild with that many players online in WvW since The Exodus.
Our Small Guilds accomplish a lot, we split up among the BL’s to get points where the russian zerg isn’t anymore.
Just yesterday me and 4 other people (3 of em randoms and not even lvl 80) we took 2 towers, 3 camps and hills in the enemy BL. That was 60 points for our server out of the 240. and we did that with only 5 people.

Also if you wish to check out our RoS, we accept any smalle/medium guilds who are looking to transfer there, even better when they’re US guilds cause we have a gap in our server coverage that is eating us up

Lord Awesomeness.1804:

What EU servers are predominantly English-speaking and would welcome a solo US player and possibly his friend?

EDIT: oh, and one that preferably doesn’t have Ruin on it.

We at Surmia welcome everyone, and no, there’s no “RUIN” guild here even though our name is Ruins of Surmia :p
We also have a night time guild called Surmian Nightwatch, I’m sure they will be happy to have you.

joejean.6842:

The best QUEUE situation ROFL, dude seriously, you looking to insult people?

SOON your QUEUE situation will be great on lots of servers, keep ignoring the CUSTOMERS
and their won’t be anyone queued for anything…

KAINENG was opened by mistake, population of this game is falling steady hence
it will never fill and will be the first server to be closed. Of course Anet will just sit by
and see what happens, am guessing they got a whole of one guy leading this fiasco and
he doesnt want to come in to work, just like we don’t wanna log in WvW…

Obvious Idiot is obvious.
Let me tell you. The best and more sturdy, resilient WvW’rs you will find are in the bottom tiers of EU and US. Namely: RoS, FoW, Kaineng and DR.
You won’t find people more sturdy than there. So take your insults somewhere else and keep on being jealous of our non-existent queue cause you don’t have the guts to transfer to a losing server.

Oh and Joey could I interest you to come to Ruins of Surmia (EU) ? Just try it for a a day, you will definitely love, we have several EU insomniacs you will find online. And our server loves small guilds.

Ruins Of Surmia is looking for US guilds for the server, there are currently none, and I imagine that the Name would fit your guild or Alliance’s name

He was vs another ele in that group as well… so by default you should know that he massively outgears and outskills them. The difference in skill is really huge.

As for theifs… today ive seen a guildie thief engage a full hp lvl 80 enemy (think he was engineer) at same time as me. Enemy got downed before my FIRST fireball even reached him and thus instantly turning that skirmish in our favour.
Ive seen him take down veteran guards down to 10% hp in 1s flat. I play full exotic berserker setup and cant even dream of that kind of burst. Its flat out kitten such bursts even exists.

Im only kitten because now i dont know what to lvl… thief or mesmer.. kitten elementalists…

Also, the Ele asura had 1 orb and the others had no orb.

Slight advantage for the asura

And a lot of skill in this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3jSVoHhAW8&feature=related /sarcasm
