WvW Rank 3800 (Platinum Veteran) – PvP Rank 69 (Shark) – 25,9k Achievment Points
Mërcenaries [Sold] – Ferguson’s Crossing
The number being fielded at ET and FC cannot be considerated real numbers aswell… There is a lot of people that refuse to fight as long SF still in T8. To not mention people who come in the fight but do not bother going against SF since it’s a sure loss…
Since there is no proof that HoD will roflstomp us, do not come saying “blahblahblah any server will destroy you, you are just bad”.
P.S. The windmill is a dueling spot? Good to know.
I had no idea either.
Is that any windmill on any borderland?
I think it’s the windmill near Hero’s/Chapion’s/Victor’s Supply Camp. So there is one in each borderland.
you’re gonna get stomped just as badly by any other server.
Show me proof…
There’s a reason each match involves three servers. The ability of two servers to gang up on a third is intended and expected. It should actually happen much more often.
Even more against the updog (a.k.a green team).
I often wonder how many points are even possible, assuming someone held every point in WvW for the entire week.
Around 600k-700k.
Check week 42 for Blackgate, against 2 falling dead servers: http://mos.millenium.org/servers/view/33/#history
Following drunk commanders due St. Patrick? I’ll pass that… It’s 5am here already.
i am also interested in this information. setting my game to “best performance” seems not to be enough when i hit a large zerg. i drop to 2 FPS in the really big fights. yeah, you read that right, 2 FPS. it’s killin’ me (literally… in game at least)
Then you have no hope… Just changing the Hardware.
Well I found it amusing.
I have been wanting to take a week off, to just “whatever” but.. it seems somehow I always end up back in WvWvW, It’s just fun.
I took the weekend off and went to play with my engineer… I decided to level on WvWvW… lol
I placed a Ram at the gate of a Tower which already had a wall down…
Explain… With more than 15 characters…
come join IOJ…we’re spacious and lag-less
No, don’t join IoJ… Let’em drop because HoD is bad and don’t wanna play with us… Maybe IoJ will…
I think FilthyRat can add this one to the list of T8 threads…
+200ppt woot? How long it will last?!
Ferguson’s Crossing = your best choice for lag and queue free wvw. give it a shot bro, invite your guild bro.
Eredon Terrace can be as good as Ferguson’s Crossing…
You can even go to Sorrow’s Furnace, but you will get bored easy since they just roll over with superior numbers…
Since you high tier people keep saying to T8 shut up about our situation:
“STOP MAKING THREADS ABOUT HOW LAGGY IS YOUR TIER AND TRANSFER OUT TO LESS POPULATED SERVERS”
KTHXBYE
Next you will ask to remove the guards…
Elementalists need a good hard knock in the head with nerfbat anyway.
And yeah, if it was such a big deal that phantasms could hit things without LOS, then it definitely should be for Elementalists too.
+1
Even tho i hate mesmers, things need to be balanced for all classes… They also removed the “Guard” for rangers that were sending pets over the walls to attack stuff out of LoS.
SF will give T7 a hammering and possibly T6 too.
Luck to you.
But I’ll put gold on it.
Only if SF ever leave T8
Although i still got overrun in 2 attempts of take our stuff back, things seens to be slow lately on ET… I wonder where everyone went…
what’s with the hod hate? why not send nsp to t8? there are probably more transfer trash there from the fallen titan alliance than there are left on hod.
we’re a server full of pve’ers and casual wvw’ers now. anyone that’s left here is here because they either a) didn’t care about wvw to begin with or b) stayed because they love it here (woo friends).
i say both gom and hod deserve more change of scenery & since nsp is far too keen at bragging about pvdoor we should send them someplace where they can do it 24/7.
Then send NSP to us… But since HoD been stuck at 3rd in T7 for ages, i’d say you are more fitting of falling
And you’re talking like many servers in this game haven’t gone through losing streaks/being heavily outnumbered for weeks or months.
But the people with REAL server pride sucked it up and kept playing instead of spamming the forums all day.
These servers have found a place to stay after “weeks/months” because they could still drop tiers… However the closer you get to T8, it get harder to fall because of the rating imbalances… And at T8, there is nowhere to run.
People in HoD complain about being always outnumbered in the T7, however it never drop to T8 because of the huge cliff created by the past blowouts that isn’t allowing SF (Which clearly do not belong to T8) to leave.
ANet does not care about fixing the tier 8 black hole because you’ll be more likely to buy gems to transfer if you’re stuck in tier 8.
And you think that will make us bend to Anet will?
Sorrow’s Terrace of Denravi’s Crossing is taking over the forums!!!
Double teaming is bad mmk?
Why kill HoD when we can kill NSP too?
You can kill NSP AFTER you have HoD at 0.
well at least he realizes hes only in tier 1 because they stacked the servers.
That’s not true as JQ never left T1… But they only became #1 by stacking and overcomming the SoS bandwagon.
Are you playing a krait? lol
I used to play in SoR oceanic. You just lost money.
All i heard from SoR oceanics were complains (and I hear they still do), pretty much like T8 about being outmanned… Why didn’t your tactic worked for SoR then?
Why you play every map when you could just play one map and not have outmanned?
That’s what Fergusson’s Crossing do… Then what happens? SF just leave’em alone… No fights, no victory too since only your bordeland can’t compete against the overwhelming force with 2,5 maps.
Organised guild groups are capable of defeating 2~3 times its numbers against a scattering zerg.
I wish we were outnumbered 1:3… It’s more 1:5 at best…
And i like how you people on high tiers think it’s easy to solve T8 problems… I bet you don’t even know what is have the outmanned debuff in 2 maps 24/7 (and sometimes we have it in 3 maps). This isn’t a simple L2Play issue anymore…
(edited by Jeknar.6184)
Make new W3 guild, invite all serious w3 players, make some battle plan and dominate one map. Probably kind of fun to play if you don’t have any keeps or towers. You don’t need to defend anything so you can just kill stuff.
Wish it was that simple…
I can’t help but fell itchy in areas that shall not be named every time I see you mention our new mega-server. :-/
Well it was Cantur Soulfyre that renamed it to make the STD tag… I’m just “tagging along”.
Dagnabbit Jeknar, you went and woke up your server!
grabs umbrella to avoid rain of SFs
Errr… I’m ET.
Whoop, sorry! I still don’t know who is what where unless I see it in their signature, so made assumption.
It was… But I decided to put the STD name because Tier 8 is together in this problem (HoD is there because it’s being assimilated by STD)
Maybe if the population of ET and FC continues to decline, the 2 servers may be merged to make a more cohesive force to fight SF and thus fix the Glicko situation.
They would need to merge 4 servers in order to keep the balance of things… Thus making somenthing like SF+ET+HoD+FC.
Otherwise you would have a tier that wouldn’t have 3 worlds…
Dagnabbit Jeknar, you went and woke up your server!
grabs umbrella to avoid rain of SFs
Errr… I’m ET.
ET and FC have more than 100ppt… SF is slacking off…
FIGHT TO THE LAST LADS!
FIGHT UNTIL THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO FIGHT AGAINST!
FIGHT FOR YOUR FREEDOM!
FOR THE SORROW’S TERRACE OF DENRAVI’S CROSSING!
I’m none of those things, so we’re cool, right?
Aye
I do not respect most SF
Awww…
I cannot respect people that win with vastly numbers and laugh on your dead corpse.
I cannot respect people that say you are bad when they cleary have numeric superiority.
I cannot respect people that think that their adversaries are nothing but cowards that do not come out to fight, when in fact people are out there trying to fight, but due lack of contingent, it appear there is no one.
I also cannot respect FilthyRat because he’s a better troll than me.
Yes this can all be frustrating, to become burned out from having to put out more effort than usual to hold objectives/take objectives. But look on the brightside from this whole experience. Use this time to hone a style your own: be if fast and very mobile guerrila forces, staunch and stubborn band of defenders who learn where to place untargetable siege/unique places for siege to defend.
I get burned out amd frustrated, but after a little break (this can help) it can help with the frustration and burned out feeling. But in the long run i take these many months of being outnumbered (from DR->KAIN->SF) [not complaining] it helped make me and those who tend to mob up around me when i roam/defend better skirmishers, and to help teach siege placement, and funny ways to use the flame ram for defense.
So in the end it can be annoying, but eventually you get back up and continue moving forward as playstyles evolve, and you can help train people.
Sidenote: tempted to join the vanguard, i love roaming, but i think its time to have squads running around
I don’t think there are enough ‘pros’ to make up the ‘cons’…
lol idc what sf does or doesn’t do they will get no respect from me for anything so dance away on bodies and /laugh…. ill b doing it to u till u become T7s meat for the grinder.
Disrespect generate more disrespect…
I don’t know why ArenaNet is putting all of their effort into culling when there are more game-breaking things out there like imbalanced tiers.
Culling affect the game as a whole… And not all tier are imbalanced… The fix of culling will reach more people.
T8 will take over the forums… And we’re taking HoD aswell… “Sorrow’s Terrace of Denravi’s Crossing” is in motion…
all hail std crossing
/hail

because HoD (or whatever server is the next one in the line) will be fated to never leave…
This is not actually true. If HoD comes down and gives a good fight, IE: loses some, wins others, they will add good number of points to the T8 tier, which will bring all the Servers up in numbers. Thus if our fights are balanced, we all stand to gain ratings and HoD could potentially pull out faster by lifting the numbers of FC ans ET.
They however might really mesh well in T8, anyway, and we all get what we want, which is fun, balanced matches. If we get that, and we have fun against each other, who cares what Tier we are on.
The problem with T8 right now is how lop sided the match up is. If SF had not gotten a jump in numbers and remained at the force level they had when they arrived, then we might all be having fun at this point as opposed to dealing with the odd man out.
Can’t change that now. But HoD has been a 3rd place Server on T7 for longer then FC or ET have been 3rd place servers on T8, and the only reason they have not dropped to T7 a long time ago, is the due to the messed up numbers in T8 right now. So their is a good chance they will fit in well with us as opposed to spending the rest of their existence as last place in T7.
Servers don’t create rating out of nowhere. If a server gain rating, other is losing…
In the first matchup, if HoD drop with 900 rating points, it will be more likely that they will lose 200 right away unless they roflstomp T8. That will put all 3 servers on T8 at 700 rating, which is 300 behind the last one in T7 (that will be SF). There is a canyon (created by the past blowouts) between T7 and T8 and that’s why it’s so hard to get away.
So far, Sorrow’s will gain 38 rating if they keep the gap between scores… While it’s not enough to beat HoD, which have a artificial 20 rating gain, it means that SF is at least working at full force and might aswell get out of the Glicko’s Pit of Despair.
And i’ll tell to ya, if they ever do this, you can call those guys heroes and give’em a medal, because HoD (or whatever server is the next one in the line) will be fated to never leave…
Never go off of mos.millennium’s reset day projections. They’re always skewed.
That 38 rating increase projection dropped to a 9.7 rating increase projection overnight. My guess is that as the week goes on, that rating increase projection will likely disappear (and perhaps even go negative) despite our best efforts.
Forgive my pessimism…Glicko has given me very little reason to be optimistic. And this is all quite reminiscent of the 2/15-3/1 match-ups.
“All this has happened before. All this will happen again.”
I think the difference in scores are given in %, thus why even with such small scores as the ones we had we could see a change of ratings… And since ET and FC had a higher ppt than they usually do, the % gap problably got smaller…
In fact I’m afraid to say that SF will have to go on steroids and put at least 500k this week to move out (and still have to depend on HoD). Anything less than that wouldn’t provide enough rating, and if you get less than 400k that will give a backslide.
I see HoD gaining rating… (And NSP losing again)
Less slacking and more stomping!
Please the t8 feedback contained to this linked thread
Let’s not spam up the WvW forums for the other servers/players. More posts does not mean the devs will notice this anymore than they have lately (e.g. zero devs watching x 1000 posts is still zero devs watching).

You can buy gems with gold, so it’s not necessarily a “Real money-only stuff”
WvW can never have too many mesmers
Mesmers are rather complicated for starters…
Also depends on which server you play… Being at a tier where you have a overwhelming monster won’t help at all…
Indeed thats a exploit as Siege Deployment is blocked where you get determined buff…
