Guild Wars 2

When I leveled I primarily used P/P and SB to play it safe. By the time I was 70+ I swapped over to D/D and notice I killed mobs faster and took little damage myself, with proper stealth and skills you can go in and out of stealth, strafe run to avoid hits. Even when you have multi mobs, just swap over to SB for a bit to widdle them down, and then go back to D/D to finish the job, though multi mob situation SB is probably one of the best choice out there, staying safe and doing damage via point blank clusterbombs+autos.

When I was helping my gf with her Thief, I tried S/P. you basically kill anything and groups of anything with 1 spammable button. Just try kiting wit ha thief, even with melee. GW2 mobs are insanely stupid and you can dodge(not actually using evade) most attacks by back peddling/straffing.

[Os] sends 5, got absolutely smoked. Sends 20 to compensate!

Pics plz.

All I saw was Dead Paxa

Yea after you rallied 20 to come find us. You’re garbage in combat lol. Including your bunker warrior and guardian tandem “Spinny spinny spinny” just like ALS.

Pics? All I have is a fraps of us rolling over your dead bodies with the 30 people we killed you and TCMM’s golem rush with.

We are so bad for playing WvW like WvW is supposed to be played.

No you are bad because you run around with 30 to ensure killing a 5 man and ensure taking a tower that requires 6 people to take. You guys use 30 so you don’t wipe on something that at most needs 5-6 lol.

(and Toble for your comeback of “it’s defended so we need that many”…. Just take the 5-6 required players to take a tower to a different tower. Problem solved)

Blue Dorito’s… Cool ranch even, you guys sure have earned them.

We didn’t run around with 30 to ensure we kill a 5man team, we ran around with 30 to kill a any amount man team. I’ve already said it, no one is trying to look for PAXA when we go WvW, we just happen to run into your group along with your servers Zerg.

Take another tower with 5-6 man? Yeah let’s say we split our Zerg up into 5-6 man teams to cap towers and the other teams does the same. What then? We’ll cap the tower at the same time the enemy successful defend theirs? Makes sense. If you want to take a tower with your 5-6 to show us how it’s done let me know, we’ll have 5-6 Os defending it.

If they did that, you guys would end up as another "super" server and two other server will replace you. Best to let the T8 servers to transfer between each other to even the numbers.

With even numbers there would probably be more activity and more kills to go around.

NSP
Server drama might die now if the rumors is true about us ridding ourselves of someone.

You should take your own advice, I don’t compare pvp games to wow or any of their spawns. When I did play WoW I played mainly for PvE content not because I loved thier PvP system.

Oh, the things people presume.

You don’t seem to mind chasing the length of the map though!

I don’t and never will. I enjoy the multi-aspect of the WvW and GW2 in general. I don’t need to bash other people’s style of play to do it though. What I have gather from Paxa’s leadrs point of view so far is that the only fun way and non-noob way to play GW2 is to run small man teams and fight only other small man teams randomly. Any other way is noob and can be done easily by a child.

First off I said it’s a casual game, not a casual PvP game. The game has multiple aspect to it WvW being one of them. WvW is not even open world PvP, nothing even close. Just a large battle ground with larger player limits and a much longer timer.

You and very few others try to play it your way, by making a gank squad. And by all means its great for you, and occasionally I also “roam” but that isn’t the play style that wins the battle. You specialize in small group tactics and bash on large group play and even solo play. You can try and say you do it for the challenge if you want, but at the end of the day you still prey on unexpecting groups for the win pushing no limit to your character. Beating out others who’s mindset is to get to a objective to support the vast majority while yours is to hunt and kill doesn’t make you skillful just as a build for solo play beating out a build for Zerg play.

Beef between Os and PAXA? I don’t really care to each his own as paid said. Just like you don’t like our members complaining about you guys ruining our fight club, the vast majority of the players don’t really want to hear about you kittening abot their Zerg fights.

Sorry not many people enjoy your idea of what skillful play is. But try and wrap your mind around this, most people join medium to large WvW guild to WvW in medium to large sizes. People who join over guilds do it so they can pve. And guess what kind of guilds people who wants to spvp join?

This is how GW2 is, sorry it took you months to figure it out, let me know when you guys find that perfect game for your style, but this one is definitely not it.

We go after the groups of 10+ A because there is no one else to fight, and B because the fact that 98% of the people’s mindsets today in pvp mmo’s is to capture an impossibly easy keep door and tower mobs. We go after them because it couldn’t be more backwards from what PVP means. Don’t call it World vs World, call it capture points R us. The fact that it is satisfying to you guys just makes us want to smoke you even more. Enjoy your keep wood.

What you go up against when you have smaller numbers is your deal, not anyone else’s fault. You put yourself in that position. It’s not in just “today’s” MMO that take and hold, siege has taken priority, I don’t know which MMOs you have played but before points were capturable guilds in PvP games have “claim” areas as their own and went around to protect/PK, raids were self set up to attack people.

What WvW has provided is the same, enemy players take and hold keeps and defend it, certain server those guilds take and claim their tower. You can o the same, you guys chose to roam. In fact the only ones who PvE in WvW to just PvE are you guys who take camps and smaller objectives to provoke an attack, but in the end you guys just leave it before anyone can respond. If we get to a tower we need to take and no one is there, what else are we going to do? move on and until we find one that is defended? do you guys leave camps when you show up with no defenders? I didn’t think so.

“The fact that it is satisfying to you guys just makes us want to smoke you even more. Enjoy your keep wood.”

You can want all you want, but here’s the fact, 98% of the time you run into larger numbers and you get smashed, shine your little collection of win trophy for your surprise attacks when the zerg has its back to you when sieging. But most of the time we just roll you guys and you just end up back at spawn or the safety of another pve keep. You aren’t trying to show skillful play, you just like to gank. As for comment of 10 year olds can do any of this, well you are right, most of the time its the kids who has the most time to play and practice. You know with no work or responsibilities its pretty easy to get together with your 4 friends and gank noobs all day.

First off I said it’s a casual game, not a casual PvP game. The game has multiple aspect to it WvW being one of them. WvW is not even open world PvP, nothing even close. Just a large battle ground with larger player limits and a much longer timer.

Its impossible for any of you people we know don’t run small mans to run anything less than 10. PERIOD. You guys cant win without that many.

Psh, says the guy whos guild attack a lvl 8 and a lvl 12 with 4 lvl 80s >.>

THATS LIFE! thats what all the people say!

BTW To the PB thief that killed me in GoM Ruins, good job man.

My point is that it is so inconceivable that of all the hundreds of people that pvp every night, NONE of you are willing to challenge yourselves and your character’s makeups. Because you know without “backup (being 10 or more)” you probably won’t be successful. Just impossible to wrap my brain around there not being anyone comfortable with the few people around them rather than a big group.

You find it inconceivable that in a casual mmo people don’t get together more often on a schedule with a small group to get better at small scale combat vice Zerging since its the prevalent tactics to take and hold positions as the game type was meant to be? You find it inconceivable that people in a MMO likes to play with a large number of other people? Do you guys also go to gay bars and try to pick up straight chicks for the challenge and find it inconceivable that you were unsuccessful too?

Do what you want in your guild but don’t expect everyone to follow, cause your playstyle is a extreme minority. You play for the small moments when you and your groups do beat other larger groups and your kittens grows enormously. Before you go off and tell us how we can’t ever beat you with a small group of same size and can only do it with 10+ people. Well might be right, but we’ll never know, you never accept fair setup fights and when we run around with 10+ we gasp this might come as a shock to you, but we weren’t out looking for you, we were you know doing WvW.

I run in a small group and have ran into PAXA and enjoy fighting you guys. However:
“Here’s what none of you [Os] folks ever admit….you will not compete nightly with us fair or even as Osif says….fairish numbers. Because of that reason ALONE you will find no respect from our camp.”

We have challenged you to group fights, you were the ones who declined. We don’t run around in large numbers to find you guys to fight, we run around in large numbers to do WvW objectives, objectives that might have us fight a large zerg. When your 5 man teams run into us, we didn’t plan it, it just happens.

You’ve said that Os uses things such as cannons vice going out and fight fairly, Me and Draegar have ran into situations with 4 of us and 4 of you and you guys constantly run back to spawn, is it legit? yeah. you are using what the game provides just as we are.

Lastly to the comment about taking us on 3v1, is it possible for PAXA, I won’t say it’s impossible, a well timed sneak attack you can wipe out numbers much larger than yourself. So far though, that isn’t the case.

Sure i’ll agree with getting hit results in being destealth and reduced movement speed to walking speed while stealthed, as long as we change it so that targetting is required to attack and collision based is removed, thieves should also be like their counterparts in those other games. Stealth last until you unstealth yourself or get hit, expand our utility/weapon bar(buttons) to accommodate us having a larger skill pool to use for skills such as, emergency super speed, invincibilty, Cd resets, oh yeah the “emergency” in combat stealth.

Thief class gets complain on in every game, this ain’t new. Yes I play a thief in GW2, the only game I have ever used a stealth class. I’ll take any reasonable nerf to stealth, not that the tears will ever stop until stealth is taken away, then I suppose we can all complain about the theif’s mobility.

Dovgan.8605:

I am tired of hearing about NSP having the lowest population, sorry, you don’t. Are you outmanned on some maps? Sure, so is AR, we just don’t constantly cry about it. Do you have the same population you had at launch, nope, but that hardly makes you the least populated WvW server.

We usually only have outmanned buff on one or two maps, the other two gets the unmanned buff. Usually no one’s there to benefit from it though.

I’m not sure what most people are complaining about PAXA when they say they run around and gank numbers less than them, I’m not sure how often your zerg runs across 2-5 people and just go past them without killing them.

What Rob is saying is, what PAXA does is nothing special, and I won’t say that what they are doing is irrelevant. If they kill 30 people then that’s 30 people that has to WP back to go attack/defend where ever, if PAXA takes or defend a camp then that’s one camp we don’t have to worry about. The difference is Large guild does not equal zerg zerg zerg, everything a small guild does a large guild can do as well, the opposite can’t be said. We split our group up, set camp groups, fight in small groups and large zerg fights. No matter how skillful a small guild is, no matter how organised, once matched in skill the only thing that remains is number and if you can’t field the numbers then you aren’t going to take anything. However its all about the fun of the fight.

Ether way I think its time we stop airing our dirty laundry here, if you have problems with how the guilds on our own server act then just take it to PMs.

So when you are part of the assault along with the other server it’s “smart tactics” and when the other side attacks your already weakened defenses they clearly made plans for the double team. Apparently none of you EB bros stepped foot on NSP BLs on reset, cause its us NSP getting attacked from both server through the night, you borderlands stand clear without a blemish.

Go cry somewhere else, don’t come here with your sob story cause you had to fight hard every now and then. Other than that I’m having fun with the BL guilds giving us good fights every night.

Every time we are about to take SM the server goes down..

This is like the third time.

The only reason you guys got close to getting SM is because we had a troll build 10+ trebs and golems inside to waste our supply. Here’s a picture for proof.

I guess that’s why this happened lol:

Was wondering what this guy was so mad about…

Dear NSP. Dear AR (I know AR have nothing to do with this but anyway)
first i apologize for saying that, i was clearly kitten but even tho
Yes im mad.
im about to explode.
Because of this : http://gyazo.com/4349bafed95c9cc80128a7656fa83fea
I dont know if you guys “NSP” got anything to do with this. because this might take us far from enjoying the game

NSP has nothing to do with it as far as I know. We cleared out our Borderlands and we(Os) moved on to EB to take back our stuff, we(Os) also were the ones who dropped the 5 trebs to go against SM.

Might have to copy/paste

Pre/Con/Tough gear (Preferred) or Pow/Con/Vit Gear
Can do Sword/Warhorn as well ether for MH or OH
Crit chance buffed sits around 85%+ so you should be gritting quite a bit (The one +10 traited sword doesn’t show)

Sigil of Blood + Sigil of Energy/Sigil of Energy
Runes of the Soldier
Omnomberry Ghost + Master Maint Oil

High regen from passives+crit grants your more HP regen.

This was the build I ran when I thought Cond Damage warriors were cool, I’m now doing a GS/Axe+shield warrior for dungeons and it works much better.

So far it’s been fun, the peak time differences isn’t too noticeable in this match up. The population seems somewhat even.

Snip

Wait, so, you’re following ‘noobs’ who knew there was side exits? Or is this your way of saying spawn camping is ok?

It’s a sarcastic way of saying its nigh impossible to get spawn camp. Those who continuously charge out through the front is looking only for a fight, thinking they are some sort of epic PvP hero. They are worst than those who sit infornt of the front entrance at the very least they have all/most of the map and is killing time. Walk around, I doubt they have 10+ people blocking every exit. If they could chances are they wouldn’t be anywhere near the lower/mid tier, if they are them it won’t be for long.

So I logged into WvW yesterday and some people were going to camp flip, so I decided to join them for a bit. When we moved out this guy started heading off to the side, at first I thought maybe he need some stuff at the merchant but he kept running past them. The other guys followed him and I was thinking to myself “wtf are these noobs doing”. After debating to myself for a second on wether to ditch them all or follow them, I decided to follow them, at least it’s a good story to tell my guild about the noobs later. To my surprise there is ANOTHER path out of our spawn, in fact there is one on each side, and the exits are pretty far apart, making it hard for people to cover them all. Not only is this a good, sneaky way to leave but it could be used to avoid being spawn camped. Wish I found out about this earlier.

Kudos to the Ele, I remember fighting you two often while in EB. I haven’t seen many play D/D that well, and you’re probably the best I’ve played against. The thief is annoying and plays the stealth game very well.

Bunzy.8674:

due to the downed state.

I am so over killing people just to have them instant ressed back up. This is not fun not does it reward skillfull gameplay.

It needs serious changes or remove the whole concept from any type of pvp.

You’re a D/D Ele, if you can’t get past this then it’s better off you don’t log on anymore.

Can’t talk. Glitching up both walls of Garrison in NSP borderlands because we tried only glitching up outer and got wiped in the lords room when only having to take inner gate.

Really? That’s fascinating.

I would love to hear more.

Should make for an interesting story.

Whichever class I am playing us the class I usually enjoy fighting the most.

Columba.9730:

Read the manifesto. It’s plain as day.

Link? Cause I read it and I see no mention of gear.

Can someone link a post made by the devs stating that there will be no gear treadmill or at least the post that hints and might have mislead people to think this? I don’t doubt that the devs might have said something like this but I want to make sure they said this to cover the entirety of the game vice one aspect of the game. Cause as far as I can see spvp has no treadmill for the diehards out there.

As with pretty much everything most people misquote the devs or simply never even seen what was said, but got their information on VoIP chat, and we all know how that goes.

Loumy.7841:

showatt.9413:

Have you actually done WvW before?

Seriously nothing in that place is related to skill.

Whoever has the bigger zerg, better siege or finer organization/coverage pretty much win. I’ve killed tons of people wearing nothing but lvl 30 blue (and no jewel), and i didn’t even have master traits.

Gear is the last thing that mattered in wvw, and it only matters if you’re a free roamer that happens to run into one or two people when you’re doing your vistas.

Actually some of us enjoy roaming in the edge or just outside of the zerg, getting smaller more exciting fights.

Yeah, we call you guys baddies. You basically don’t have the skills for spvp/tpvp so you guys go to WvW and get your rocks off by winning against people who are species for larger group fights vice small coordinated strike teams. And if you get rolled by a Zerg just lol on VoIP and shrug it off and tell yourselves you only lost cause of numbers.

Real PvP players are in spvp where they absolutely have no worries about gear. WvW is about people placement then skill, this is the middle ground between PvE and PvP, where large guilds compete not only skill but resource management. If you want one end of the extreme then go to that end, don’t try to change this middleground for everyone.

Well this week was really disappointing for me, knew it was going to be irregularities due to the event but wasn’t thinking this at all. I wasn’t able to play during reset due to some RL stuff, by the time I got in all I did was run around and upgraded keeps and castle.

I’d rather lose than dominate like this TBH, I’m somewhat glad we are moving on, no offense but I’m getting tired of seeing the ugly people if SF. I think we’ve been matched together for almost a month now.

For the ET guys, gl it’s kitteny losing population like that hope you guys eventually get some good fights in no matter which tier you end up in.

I play the game as a whole, you are ether kidding yourself, ultra kitten in WvW, or play one of the few classes the do well with badge only gear. To those of you who said they play this game for (insert specification), well news flash the devs make and facilitate the game how they think will be enjoyable by the majority, not how YOU expect the game should be, your 60 bux doesn’t have that much buying power.

Gear progression is something I look forward too, and its not even remotely hard to get in any aspect of this game, you might not have it day one but give it a week or two and casuals will be back on par with hardcores in terms of gear.

This is true, stealth can’t take or hold points in spvp/tpvp so I don’t know why you can in WvW.

LordThroat.7890:

I encountered a thief in 1v1, he downed me so i stoned him to death.

This is sadly true, I downed a warrior on my thief, he proceeded to throw rocks at me for 1k+, knocked me down, spam more rocks, I get downed and then proceeded to beat me in a downs war. I was so disgusted with myself that I stopped playing thief for a whole hour.

From what I’ve seen the outmanned buff seemed broken. I checked a few times but with it on I still get the same amount of karma no matter the source, didn’t pay attention to exp and can’t reliably check MF.

Ahmrill.7512:

I believe once you actually join a squad only your squad commander is visible. A good way to remove the clutter. Of course half of those tags are probably just guilds trying to stay together in multiple groups.

I understand the join squad thing but I’d like to stay out and know where more than one commander is at a time, but I don’t need to see every commander icon. It’s better if I can just set my guilds two commander to red and yellow and be able to disregard the others.

If you “don’t care” then let people who care talk.

I just want commanders to be able to change their tag colors so I don’t get confused when 10 people want to show off their tags at once. I just need to see the few effective ones.

The ability is in the players hands already. Unless you are in a server on the rise and is demolishing everyone in sight you should see a few borderlands in near complete control of one of the enemy servers. My guild have been picking on these borderlands to go camp flipping. Not only is this easy karma and exp for low levels but you can earn gold for sieges, we can also prod for weak points then take towers if the chance arise. We normall have a small group going (3-10). Usually we would run into defenders along the way, ether scouts or another group, the fights are always more enjoyable win or lose, not to mention you can get a good gauge of another guilds ability.

If you just want it on an overall level the only thing I would suggest is to remove the map feature completely, have the site update holdings hourly. This will encourage real scouting and cross-guild game play.

Arlandino.7513:

Play 10 times harder than them and hope they make a mistake.. and you don’t

They will be fixed eventually (has to happen), we just don’t know when.

Once it is fixed all the roflcopter fotm noobs will move on to some other class

Smashing your keys harder and screaming in vent doesn’t mean you play harder. Go play TPvP maybe you’ll learn a thing or two.

emoleas.4309:

I’ve put in well over 400 hours of gameplay into WvW.

I’ve accumulated a grand total of about 2000 badges; not even enough for a full set of ARMOR, let alone the jewelry.

Granted, I generally take part in the more boring tasks ie: scouting, yak assassination (1500 yaks killed!), and supply capping… but it is seriously absolutely ridiculous on the price of that gear that I’ve put in easily over 400 hours and can’t get a full set.

On the other hand, in 5 days of farming at 11 hours per day… I was able to purchase commander title and still have enough gold left over to buy 3 exotic sets. Not to mention the 400k+ karma I got for yet another exotic set.

It cost 1889 to get all the ARMOR. And the 5 days of 11 hour farming you probably mean you bought gold from a gold selling site.

OT: If it’s easier to get gear elsewhere with the same stats then go and do it. If its easier to farm gold by gathering materials and selling it vice doing event chains then people will gather mats, they aren’t going to complain about how much better they can make money one way and that the devs should change the game to make every aspect of it equal. Pow/Vit/Tough is only good for a few class/specs, chances are if you are competitive you already do other things for your gear. Badges can be used to buy siege instead. The put the gear in there as an option, those are not a one of a kind gear that you NEED to have as many have already said the models for them is god awful ugly so I doubt anyone wants to look good in it.

Ralathar.7236:

Long message here.

I really don’t know why people keep saying NSP population is huge, it really isn’t. We might outnumber you guys from time to time, but even on Friday night’s reset we can fill EB and have a que for it 3 or so hours after. After that, it starts to drop off. Borderlands (ours) might be full for an hour or so, then it drops. During the normal week we might get an hour or two where there is a que for EB. The attrition rate of NSP has been pretty high ever since the fight with YB and SOR, and it’s only gotten worse since our match up the first time.

arminius.5270:

NSP is putting up a good fight, but EB is once again proving good leadership > zerg

You guys are the zerg…

Guess the whiner never heard of “taking one for the team”. Not all roles are desirable, and even when there is something to be had, there is always one job that gets the short end.

Surbrus.6942:

(from previous thread)

And great, is it gang up on SF week again?
Seriously. Pick on someone else.

I usually just attribute what seems to be cooperation between servers against the underdog to be just a combination of luck, disorganization, and the like. However last night myself and my guild had seen many cases of small groups of Ehrmy directly assisting NSP in Sorrows Borderland.

One case was an Ehrmy guy participating in an NSP attack on a Sorrows held supply camp, where he was trying to pick off the siege that was keeping NSP back from the camp (5 and siege Sorrows vs 15-25 NSP). Another case was an attack against an NSP held tower where a few Ehrmy players were taking out Sorrows siege weapons. And the last case I witnessed was in Sorrows borderland when Ehrmy was cutting supply from DB so that NSP could more easily take the keep.

In each of these cases Ehrmy would have benefited more from Sorrows (the underdog) holding those points denying them from NSP, until Ehrmy’s attention could be focused on taking those points at a later time.

My guild’s assumptions on these Ehrmy actions was that either they were done by NSP spy accounts, therefore their only goal is to help NSP, or simply done by people who either have no idea what the bigger picture is of their actions, or just don’t care about what results their actions will bring.

Also, already I’m seeing plenty of alt-f4ing from Ehrmy players. I am not generalizing or anything, but just informing you guys that you have loose cannons about that aren’t really helping your WvW effort, and as for all the alt-f4ing when downed guys, maybe a bit of shaming in /team might be an order (just like the shaming that is given out to people that take supplies out of keeps/towers that need it).

You caught us! Most of the NSP WvWer’s are actually surplus from EB. The ploy here is to alternate who would wear EB’s tag each week and the “surplus” would go to one of the opposing server and help EB win each week. This way we prevent the server’s true player from playing and if they manage to get in we disrupt their strategy easily by making random calls to confuse people. There’s pretty much nothing you can do about it, better go tell your server to just quit trying and PvE.

I thought they already put toughness gear in the game?

HackerTeivospy.2031:

as a NSP user who doesn’t care about his server winning or losing and just wants to roam gank people in borderlands as a casual pvp affair instead of participate in the roleplaying zergy weak pvp (albeit less weak now that they’re removing their dumb orb idea):

If you see someone in my guild [DMG] pls stop and 1v1 instead of running for the nearest zerg group. You get better at your class by allowing us to kill you 1v1 instead of forcing me to Shadow Step -> Shadow Trap -> Shadow Return after shadow trap is triggered and juke your raid of 60 mindless try hards. Not that it is a bad skill, but I don’t like having shadow trap on my bar constantly in wvw, i’d rather have infiltrators signet for when I finally find someone who actually can do battle

Thank you. Until then me and my group will continue to camp you at EB jumping puzzle with log traps and other places in order to pass the time (ENDGAME GW2 = LOG TRAP)

Yeah you’re cool. If you really want a challenge in 1v1 or small group fights you and your guild would do so in SPvP, where they spec their chars for those scenarios and are assured equal gearing. Seeing as you guys are busy “trolling” EB Jumping puzzle, I’m guessing your skill is sub par and rely on rendering issue, ganking, or better small group pvp traits/skill choice to win. After all if you do get rolled it’s easier to blame it on being “zerged” than your inadequacy.

I’d trade your guild for VIP any day of the week.

Tell your elementalist friend to drop you an ice bow. Problem solved.

This system is garbage and has no place outside crapfest Korean junk MMOs. Just because some third-rate MMO from Korea uses this kind of ridiculously amateurish and lazy game design doesn’t mean it’s a good idea here.

I’m sorry what bonus do you get from the legendaries that you can’t get from other weapons? Sounds to me like we got a bunch of kids who want their stuff now now now cause they’ve seen a minuscule population with something shiny. I find it laughable people bring in skill as if grinding is skillful. And for you “hard workers” who spent hundreds of gold trying to make the precursor, you aren’t that hard working cause you you were you wouldn’t try to gamble for the item you would’ve saved a bit more and buy the item outright.

Heard it all I got my first precursor after putting in a few GS in a day over a long period of time vice going all in at once. Legend arise are meant to be a marathon not a sprint, compare it to however many people you want if they have it chances are they worked harder and are more persistent at it than you. The small population of people who got it “easy” is equivalent to the small population of people who got shafted.

People do make gold in WvW, nothing crazy but the point is to have fun and be “surprised” at how much you made. Even on losing servers you can do a “raid” group and take supply camps, taking those requires 0 siege. If you have 10 people doing this during the “down time” then they all get the 1s or whatever add in the bonus for merc camps and over a period of one hour you should have made a good sum of money. WvW you get drops and such from NPCs and other players so investing in cheap MF food helps out a bit without affecting your gear too much.

If you aren’t running in a guild/group to do siege then you put the whole burden on yourself, you take no equipment damage for being downed, you share siege cost (relatively), and you make the same amount weather you take a tower with 1 person (3s about) or 50 people (1.5g).

This game isn’t centered around how well one person does by themselves.

Not an excuse, but after the NSP light lead on Friday, most people just went and PVE all weekend. When urged to go to WvW most people just shrugged and said that after the weekend we’ll take the lead again. I know this isn’t true cause once you lose the lead by such a large margin the general populace aka “zerg” will lose interest, and after that no matter how great of commanders you have it won’t matter. I enjoy the day fights but as the nightfall begins people give up completely since the minor gain isn’t catching up fast enough. I’ll continue the fight, but I hope next week will be different for NSP.

Side-note I do like the new EB a lot more, you guys seem to be more organised than when we were matched up against DH. I think next game you’ll be matched up against them if you keep this lead. With your night crew I think it would make it a interesting match up.

I’m not downplaying DH style, if you are filling the gaps in your hours then that’s great, but it seems like there is nearly no opposition during the day until your night crew gets on, and they come en mass. If it’s your strategy to play hard only after the rest of population is about to sleep then that’s alright with me too, take over when people are weakest, sound strategy. I’m just saying that after the weekend the weekdays are tragically boring cause DH gets over-runned and then I wake up to DH fully controlling all maps, with pretty much no opposition.

I’m sure everyone has part of them that wants their server to be at the top, but I rather not trade in competition and fun for it. You can say what you like about meeting opposition at “late night” but I know there aren’t any on NSP, on days that I do stay late almost every map is bare and we can hardly put up a 5 man raid team to go flip supply camps.
