Enerjak,

Yup. I do want this to keep going. This statement almost had me in tears from laughing so hard.

“I’ll try once more to be the “bigger man””

You are pure entertainment – why would I want to stop? I know I shouldn’t egg you on but you’re so predictable it’s like forum PVE. And you know how us DH’ers love our PVE.

My suggestion is to take a step back. This is obviously a big deal to you. Anyone can see the tone you post in compared to the rest. It’s a game man – play it, don’t live it.

Well what do you expect from an elitist?

He needs something to really get his kitten up.

Celestian.2689:

SoR states they’ve seen DH moving about, but few from SF have. I’ll have to take SoR’s word on that.

It is funny you say that. Most of our group denotes when DH shows up as the “night crew” coming online. I do not recall seeing a large amount of DH consistently before 12-1am central lately.

Vig had about 15 last night roaming EB to keep spots as long as we could before we had to log and there was maybe one DH group before Anet forced us all out of WvW. If there were more they were not to be seen.

We ended up killing trebs from enemy towers/keeps to keep them from bashing on our walls because there was not much else to do. It seemed like 1 guy really liked to treb.

Either way, I do not think anyone would argue with you saying DH has “active” night presence compared to the other servers. If they do they are just kidding themselves. Maybe it is because we smash faces well enough during the day they want to stay in till we go to bed… or they just live in one of those far off strange lands where the sun goes when hiding from us.

Our problem lies in having outmanned buffs in NA primetime hours in maps. So we consolidate our population and move to maps where we know we can fight as a server and just leave the other maps alone. We have a low WvWvW population in NA time.

And you think for you that is unfair? And you talking about AION? I came from Aion (Triniel original then became Zikel). For most part of playing the game, (about 2 years+) I have been in the most unbalanced side (Asmo) in that server. Did I transfer? No. Did I QQ about being outnumbered? No. My mentality is to keep on fighting. As long as I contribute to the cause then it helps.

In my PvP experience, our ratio was pretty much 5:1 in which for almost 1 year, we barely get an upper abyss fort and even then the Elyos can gather enough forces to take out our Gelk forts.

But never did I cry foul but know the balance issue was the problem. You seem to keep blaming DH for a problem that is an issue for all servers. You think it was fun for us to be camped in our spawn area in all battlegrounds on the 1st week-long battle? But I did not complain. I don’t care about the points. Its all kitten. I PvP for the sake of PvP.

Even in NA Primetime we get outmanned buff in some maps but I still PvP. So maybe you should understand before you judge a server. Even try for 1 day in this server to see our side of the battle before judging the server as “carebears”

Enerjak,

It’s blatantly obvious that the DH night crew really pisses you off. I’m fine with that. In fact, I think it’s hilarious it affects you so much. The same thing happened to DH in our match-up with Yaks. It’s easy to lose respect for a guy when he continually lumps all of us in as “insects” and “PVEr’s”. It really hurts my feelings – STOP IT!! lol…

However, we still have lots of respect for the rest of your server, (Props to SF and SoR for last week and a great start to this week so far!) because we don’t make hasty generalizations about entire servers. So please, by all means continue to post in your current passive aggressive tone, claiming that our methods (we play when we can) don’t bug you when they so obviously do. It’s quite entertaining.

You’re clearly upset that I’ve chosen to fight SoR for direct competition. 1-10umad? Tell us how you really feel.

I actually tried to drop it some time ago, DH apparently is just REALLY butthurt by what has been said that they just wouldn’t leave it alone, even after I yielded. Truth hurts, I know. But generally when your opponent says, “you’re right, you win”, it is in good sport to accept that and move on.

DH just can’t do that. I actually respected DH prior to that. But, you want to keep going, then keep going we will. I’ve already proven the bigger person by that alone and have nothing further to prove.

So come, children. Let the forum PvP continue. You’ve already shown you cannot fight in game, why not here? After all, the great thing about a forum is you can’t PvE your way to victory.

Wow. I feel sad that your server are a bunch of elitist and you are not even on in the class of HoD, SBI and JQ. Please stop acting like your server are PvP gods while we just PvE our way to victory. Oh wait how does your server enjoy PvEing our doors in the morning hours? Seems like your server does it too.

If you want fair and equal grounds PvP. Then you are in the wrong forum thread. sPvP is your forum. Do you want a link to it aswell?

Seems like someone is mad here.

Maybe you should be trying the borderlands more. Seems like you are keen too much in EB and maybe just maybe get out of that map and see how it is like over there.

Seems like Sunday evening EST we pretty much got 3 orbs from all realms. The borderlands crew are more organized in that particular aspect from my experience there. Seems like a lot of pugs pick EB as their main zone while our more organized groups work in the borderlands to get the orbs.

For me, orbs > stonemist. Only go to EB to make a push every now and then when needed but its borderlands for me.

I spend time in all areas. My words ring true in the borderlands as well. DH will sit in their keep, and sleep. They might swat the flies that try to pick on a door that’s guarded by 1/3 of your entire server or so, but you’ll never catch them in daylight hours leaving the door of that keep.

They’ll guard those orbs all day. The moment they’re about to reset, the entire server camps and just sits there. Once captured, they go right back to the keep, and go back to sleep.

As mentioned… I enjoy fighting SoR. DH PvEs too much for me to get excited over a battle with.

So I guess its just another of those “night capping” excuses that is being used a million times now. Either that or you just sound bitter that you could not organize a group to do night duties.

I guess you are trying to say that our server population are PvE queens and we all are bad PvPers right?

A lot of SF’ers are just bored atm. We dealt with darkhaven’s nighttime shenanigans in the previous round. All’s fair in blah blah blah and all that. We fought and won the previous match against all of the same stuff we’re against now.

It’s just that many of our players (judging from chats in borderlands and in eternal the day before reset) were looking forward to fighting someone else. This is more directed at darkhaven, very few of us have a problem with SoR. Plenty of good fights with SoR.

Basically, during the day we have to fight hard against SoR to take anything, and at night when we get the out manned buff on all maps, dark haven rolls over everything. The orb hacks don’t help either. We’ve beaten it once. From my point of view, beating the same exact thing again is tiresome.

^^^ This.

SF and SoR are a dead-even, perfect match against one another. In fact, many guilds on SF will intentionally direct our attention to fighting SoR simply because they’re fun to fight against, and just about every single engagement will be an epic one. It’s fun.

DarkHaven will camp 1 keep and sit there. All day. They’ll have 1/2 of their entire server sitting on that one keep, occasionally moving to hit Stonemist when they notice SF or SoR are moving to hit it, but otherwise they are stationary.

Then night falls… SF goes to bed, SoR goes to bed… Darkhaven sets their alarm clocks for about 2-3am and gets to work farming PvE.

SF and SoR wake up the next day, and go to work. Darkhaven keeps farming PvE for another few hours.

Where SF was once ahead with SoR within 200 points of us, PvE queens have taken over the map.

SF and SoR continue fighting one another because it’s epic and fun, DH camps their 1-2 favorite outposts and goes to sleep, occasionally repelling the small raids that might try to catch them off guard.

Rinse, lather, repeat.

We beat DH’s night shenanigans last week. We proved we are more than capable, while simultaneously fighting SoR’s very strong forces at the same time.

We just aren’t PvE queens. That’s why I’d rather spend my time fighting SoR. It’s enjoyable. I get nothing from slaughtering DH during primetime.

But somehow, they must REALLY love those NPC guards, because they won’t fight us directly in favor of them.

Is it a viable tactic? Very much so. But I’m not going to be bored trying to pick a fight with DH knowing they won’t fight back.

SoR, tag. You’re it. >:D

Darkhaven has a medium sized population in terms of WvWvW. We have a good night presence aswell. During primetime NA hours, we rarely get a queue but if we do, the other 3 maps are not.

WvW reminds me a lot like how Aion is were its PvPvE.

My role tends to be the roamer. I run most of the time by myself and scout the vicinity and report whatever. Especially if we are planning on attacking a fort.

I also wander around taking out yaks and guards for some karma solo while try to pick off stragglers wondering alone.

I’m sure people have noticed me from Sanctum and Sorrow in their borderlands doing that often when I’m in WvW.

Just need to keep on attacking people. So far 3.6k kills in WvWvW and I have gotten over 800+ badges (bought 2 pieces but already in a full pow/vit/toughness armor since you can get others by karma).

And most of the time I just dps enemy zergs with AoE. I think its more of if you damaged several enemies with a certain %, a bag of loot will drop.

For me the WvW armor set is pretty good in terms of survivability. I am currently running with power/vitality/toughness armor set with divinity runes but with berserker accessories, amulet and rings along with the exquisite ruby on them.

I was a full dps build but ran into some 3 hit combos from warriors and thieves alike that I decided to put some survivability into my armor set. From my experience, what I lost from dps, I gained in staying alive. I can fight 1v1 and 2v1 situations where I know as a dps build I could not. Also trying to run away from a big group just got better knowing you can take a hit while waiting for that 1 sec before your cooldown will refresh.

I agree Raffie. I rather loose in a close match since its more fun than getting rolled for a week.

Close fights are very fun and it keeps the 3 servers competitive. Wish to get another close fight this coming reset.

Seems like the issue with Darkhaven is that we can barely muster enough people in NA primetime hours since I get inside our battlegrounds without a queue 80% of the time and if the map is has a queue the other 3 maps don’t have one. We seem to have a bigger EU/Pacific timezone players so therefore we could not hold our own in NA primetime. We can manage to hold to maybe 1-2 of the 4 maps but lack the numbers during those times.

I wish we can get more primetime NA people joining in. Rarely do I get into a battleground with a queue. And if I do, its usually 5-10 minutes or I can just go to the other battleground. We can barely fill all battlegrounds during the weeknights and hope that more players will join to bring up the server.

I run away to reset a fight. Dying and respawning maybe quicker but by the time you get back to defending a point, it may have been taken away from you because you decided to just fight and die.

The 5k-8k range varies on class. On the heavy armored classes, I tend to hit in the 5k tops while the lighter armor classes I deal higher. What sigils do you have in your weapon? And also what exotic armors are you wearing? Are they the power+toughness+vitality kind?

I do have power+prec+crit damage % on my acc and power+toughness+vitality on my armor. With power+crit damage%+precision runes.

Also what traits did you select?

You guys are bad, learn to do something other than sticking the green name in front of you and building siege at your portal keep.

Coming to another servers thread to insult them makes you look ignorant.

Let him be. You know the elitist mentality. Hopefully next week they get to face HoD and get insulted like that.

I use P/P and D/D with a shortbow in my inventory for defense.

I usually shadowstep to within range of an enemy and attack while trying to make him burn his/her evade then ones thats done I use unload which crits with my build about 5-8k I got close to 9k but I am still on rare armors with only acc and weapons as exotics. Ones I get plenty of medals I should be rocking in full exotics and hopefully would improve my damage.

For me, I would use condition damage more on the sPVP environment whereas use crit on WvWvW.

Though my crit build is more of a hybrid crit+toughness since i just cap my crit to like 45-50% and use toughness + vitality armor sets.

I play a thief and actually do well in WvWvW. Its just a matter of knowing your class and using right skills for. I have no problems charging into the zerg then getting out alive. Just need to be smart and also I use range which helps alot in those encounters.

Just make sure you wear armor that would help you survive and not go too much of a glass cannon.

Was there when a wave of your guild and pugs was trying to take AB from us when they just ported in from the cliff, bypassing the outer walls to immediately attack the inner walls. This attempt happened 3 times (2 times successfully bypassing the wall while the 1 time we found the hiding mesmer). Not sure if any of my guildmates got a screenshot of the incident but I was there in one instance when some purple shield popped out and everyone was on top of the cliff by the northern outer walls.

Not that I noticed any change in it. Actually got a lot last night. I am not sure of how many pvp kills but its in the 1-1.5k range and have about 400 badges. So its pretty good ratio for me.

I just like being the underdog and do not plan on moving. I will always be in the battlefield to assist the server in battle.

Good to read that we are getting organized now.

Yeah I follow it for the badge and a good karma run capping supplies and forts.

I just started playing GW 2 a week ago and just hit level 80. I played a few MMOs both F2P and P2P in a span of 10 years ranging from Ragnarok Online, WoW, Aion Online, SWTOR and others.

I usually can play about 6 hours a day after work with the exception if I have real life plans. I play a thief right now and is trying to learn the ropes of the class which is fun since I have always played the stealth/range class from previous MMOs I played with the exception of Aion being a tank as my main.

Looking for a semi-hardcore PvP & PvE oriented guild to join. Also I am in the East Coast and my server is Darkhaven.

Cheers.
