This pretty much says it all, considering is the time of the day you presume u’r outnumbered by us ;P

Please stop making yourself look a moron. Obviously our coverage has changed due to Xaoc joining. It has no bearing on the last 2 weeks. If you need to make yourself feel better for those two defeats and blame it on yesterdays transfer then please do it in private.

Ventus.9483:

A good one week. The previous one was spoilt somewhat due to influx of players into Gh, and this one decimated by the influx of nearly double the numbers of active wvw players into the already highest active server. This was about fair fights and good matchups for you, then you recruited it out of proportion, you’ll go up two tiers, and these wayfairers will abandon you like they abandoned their other servers I know you said you’d been there, so why on earth put yourselves through it again

Soon as you get to a tier where your numbers don’t count you’re going to lose these people. They are garbage. We killed a Xaoc zerg of about 40 today with a miserly group of 20. Its an embarrassment to watch.

Now please hurry up and move on so the rest of us can enjoy the fair fights you used to hold dear

We’ll go up one tier this week, and we hope this matchup is over as much as you guys do. But I’ll say it again. We did NOT get an influx of new guilds last week. Only TCS joined us then. Any increase in numbers will have come from within our own server.

Also we have not actively recruited anyone. All the guilds who have joined us approached us to do so.

Phoenix.3416:

Well this has now buggered up wvw for all of the lower tiers since the tier above GH was balanced pretty evenly.
RoF and WR will probably not do very well against Underworld when they drop since they were pretty balanced against the tier above.

The only way I can see this balancing out is if Blacktide drops past Underworld and down into the bottom tiers which basically swaps them with GH, otherwise this move will probably ruin wvw for a lot of people.

It basically pushes everyone down by 1 which means the 1st server on each matchup is a higher tier and has been for a while so will probably crush the others.

Last time we fought you guys were a proud group that wouldn’t move servers and didn’t ask others to move over. I know a lot of them will not have had a say in the matter but allowing a Russian Alliance on a British server seems like betraying your community for an easier win.

Just want to clarify a few things here.

Firstly we were heading up anyway, if not this week then almost definitely next week, and BT are dropping into T7 this week so that matchup was going to lose its balance regardless of this transfer in the next couple of weeks anyway. I really doubt we’ll stomp you all anyway. We might win but even with all the numbers we put out last night it only gave us a queue in 1 BL, something we had before at times anyway.

Secondly your point about our “British community” is just bullkitten. For a start Gunnars is not a British server. It is a european server and we have many non European players and guilds. What’s more is that Xaoc approached us AS A COMMUNITY. Khorne made it clear from the start that if we felt they would be too disruptive to what we had we should tell him and they would look elsewhere. However as a community we spoke to him and he converted even the most hardcore of skeptics, and we had a thread in our community forum for all those who wished to make points but couldn’t be there.

Anyway, welcome to Xaoc.

Very well played NP & co in our sunny. We finally got it back after maybe 2 hours of fighting for it. Half that time with the door down.

Have to say we made some silly errors, but you outplayed us there

The bitterness from RoF is sad, and disappointing. All that your achieving is putting a negative spin on what has actually been 4 good weeks of fights between us

Having great fun fighting NP in our BL

Herr der Friedhoefe.2490:

Fair enough that a server can rally PvE players to the cause, but some of this is the typical bandwagon BS that will end once paid transfer is in place. A second look at weekly scoring would be nice too, to end these weekly matchups repeating for a few weeks on end.

It’s getting just a bit too predictable.

Bandwagoners>! – oh yes all those people joining on that T8 victory train! We’ve had two guilds join us, and one joined us before this matchup. Free transfers closing earlier would not have changed the results much at all.

As for numbers atm we currently have outmanned buff in both RoF and WsR borders.

OchrisO.8450:

end of the day GH have had about 3-4 wsr guilds so gh will out number rof one of the guilds being rddt, so people from gh can stop saying that rof has more numbers ^^

Stop talking out of your kitten At least if you’re going to make claims, get your figures right. We have had one full guild transfer from WSR TCS, and atm we have 6-10 scouts from rddt assessing our server.

I have to say the whole attitude from WSR has been very impressive ( a sentiment I know is shared by those I’ve spoken to within our server community). Massive respect to all of you who continue the fight without any whining.

Reset really isn’t a fair representation of our numbers. For example we’re currently outnumbered heavily in EB, we had Quentin’s lake overrun by about 4x our numbers.

Anyway let’s please stop this bitterness on both sides and get on with enjoying the match-up

Xaoc have a few people scouting us I think. As do rddt.

Imo the difference between the two servers is RoF tend to run alot more organised guild groups. I’ve seen some very impressive things from NP, ICON, HxH etc. Whereas GH run organised “PuG” groups (CHvc and SOE aside) – this may give off the impression of random zergs. But (at least not all the time) it isn’t.

EDIT: And the replies in this thread aren’t anything to do with coming in here and brag about how we’re winning, or to insult the way RoF play. People just don’t like being told that the only key to our success, after months of hard work into turning around the frankly kitten position we were left in, was simply due to more numbers. I firmly believe that if we hadn’t done some of the things we’ve done in these last few weeks you’d have beaten us

Yeh we always get ridiculously more numbers out for reset than any other night. Other than that our numbers are pretty well matched I’d say. We never really have numbers outside of one BL and EB, but we’re very mobile

Also we’ve only had one guild TCS join from WSR so….

Anyway outside of this petty numbers stuff. I’ve enjoyed our machups recently and im hoping for more of the same this week. Good luck to all.

Thanks maloki for the suggestion, but we have been doing this for months now.

Can only speak highly about all those in our community old and new.

vipeout.2485:

Why would he ytransfer anyway since PvE is the same everywhere?

That is where you are wrong. I am mainly a wvw player but my guild is mainly a PvE guild and I do dabble in PvE from time to time. I play on Gunnars which is a relatively low population server in PvE areas and you cannot play in some areas at certain times because there simply are not enough players to have all the fun they need. Some players in my guild have moved to servers like Blacktide and Desolation so they can do the Orr chain events whenever they want or go do CoF dungeon because its not contested.

Niadon.9270:

And just to be clear, we have PvE players in our guilds, but at least they are able to help and understood the importance of the borderlands.

This shows the real arrogance behind your move. People play this game for their own reasons. The real reason behind your move is that you cannot accept that people have no interest in the WvW side of the game or what tier their server is in. Some people would much rather spend their time doing dungeons or Orr events. The fact that you are surprised that noone comes at your beckoning into wvw when you need them beggars belief. How would you react if some PvE commander nipped into the Borderlands and demanded you all run into Orr and help them liberate the Temple of Grenth?

As a Gunnars player I am no stranger to playing against overwhelming numbers and against the odds in difficult fights. We fell in the rankings continuously for the best part of 3 months but now the rankings have stablised we’ve found ourselves in a great fun matchup for 3 weeks in a row. This is precisely what would have happened to Blacktide if you’d have stayed. Instead you’ve all kittened off when the going got tough and ruined the fun for every other server that will feel the effect of either an out of place server moving up or an empty Blacktide falling down.

I think the reaction of most people in this and the Vabbi thread show your new leet servers are not welcome so please would you and Xaoc take your plans and return to where you came from.
/rant

PS. Condolences to those guilds on RoS who will now be dictated to by a bunch of strangers who think they know best (and yes Ive already heard complaints about this happening) and respect to those guilds who decided to stay on Blacktide.

DylanLucas.6058:

Gunnars Hold is dead WvW wise. We had 10 people in the EB and they were mostly from my guild

All im gonna say……

Then dont play in EB either move where there’s more numbers or request more from elsewhere. This time last night we held most of Drakkar Borderlands, almost all of our own and our third of EB plus SM. Hardly dead.

We’ll be back

Starfall.6425:

Yes we tried to stop the retake of the orb.. but we didn’t succeed. We did this because it would be the normal reaction if the hacker hadn’t been there.. because we still don’t know who did this kitten we.. mh.. ignored the fact that it happened. Maybe Gunnar is right und it wasn’t quite fair-play.. but I think it might have happen the same way if Gunnar was in our place.

We actually had a similar incident on our servers a few weeks back. I can’t remember the exact match up but we lost our orb overnight and a hacker from our server got it back by flying into the orb room and returning it to our garrsion.

When we found out we spoke to the powers at be on the other server and agreed to let them in to our Garrison, return the orb then for them to give us back the Garrison immediately. It all happened in very good spirits and much fun was had by all.

With reference to the guy claiming we hacked them. I wasn’t on and haven’t heard anything about that but trust me when I say that as a community we want it happening as little as you guys do. It takes all the fun out of the game. If it happens again please contact someone from our server and I’m sure we can sort something out

I’ve tried this twice now and had a different problem each time.

The first time I cleared the room with the first orb in but when I tried to push the switch to get the fight scene it wouldn’t let me, and i couldn’t talk to the npc either.

The second time I went through that bit fine, collected the 2nd orb but had to fight before putting it on its pedestal. During the fight the orb disappeared and I had noway of getting it back.

Anyone else had these problems? Not found anything about it on Google, but the amount of problems I’ve had in my storyline and needed to restart missions is ridiculous.

Tried it again this morning and it worked just fine. Previously after reaching the 2nd digger site only Trahaerne was following and the other npcs stayed put. Didn’t get this today.

Aspenth.1392:

Despite what the 9/8 patch notes say this issue is STILL not resolved. Extremely frustrating! I’ve had my story quest delayed on four different occasions in four separate quests and I’m very quickly losing interest in doing these lengthy class quests if I’m going to encounter progress inhibiting bugs in 50% of these quests.

Yeh this is the same for me. I’m playing the Priory storyline and it seems to me every other quest is bugged in some way or another. SO frustrating to have to keep redoing them.

They often happen right at the end of quests too which makes it worse.
