Guild Wars 2

BG should help us stay in T2 as their going away present, we’ll in return do… things… yeah. Like, cheering you guys on in the T1 thread and helping promote happiness and joy.

Stop it, FAa, STOP IT! Stop, don’t… no! Stop! STOP IT! No, FA!

TC needs people too

Saruon.4085:

Thanks Pink for all the fights tonight on KNBL

It was most definitely fun, I had a blast tonight!

Sleep OP, please nerf… can’t… go on…

In WvW, not even an Asura is safe.

We don’t mean just guards at your base to say “4 rams are down.” You need to have people keeping tabs of enemy movements across the whole map, or at least, between key points they traverse so you can have a group heading towards a tower to defend it before the enemy gets there or while the enemy is setting up a siege.

It takes mass communication across the entire map or a large well organized guild.

We’ve been holding our stuff well so far for 4 hours now, we lost towers due to not being able to sacrifice resources to defend it and not due to ninja capping. Surprise attacks, yes, close calls, yes, but that was all prevented with scouts and real-people sentries standing guard/watch.

Magiofdeath.2745:

Hey tier 2, trying to see what others think. Do you all think towers are flipping on a more consistent basis a lot quicker now since patch? In tier 3, all 3 servers are flipping in like 1 or 2 mins. People aren’t even bothering to upgrade them, which I think is attributed to how fast they seem to be flipping now. Let me know your thoughts!

We’ve been holding our stuff well so far for 3+ hours now, we lost towers due to not being able to sacrifice resources to defend it and not due to ninja capping. Surprise attacks, yes, close calls, yes, but that was all prevented with scouts and real-people sentries standing guard/watch.

All these kind words from players from other servers including our opponents from T2 are so heartwarming, it makes me even happier to be on this server. I’m definitely Glad I chose this server since the betas.

BG just got a new load of Guilds from SoS for all sorts of timezone coverage, be prepared, guys. New super server initiative to take on JQ has begun, we’ll all be caught in the crossfire.

Sam.3645:

If you guys (BG and Kai) love us TC so much then please stomp FA for us. <3

If you guys love us, do what Sam said. FA have spilled blood of sacred levels, defiled the corpses of animals very dear to us, and…

TCBL is fun at the moment!

I do damage and I get bags, but I don’t get the quantities of actual damaging roles. Yes, we win the fight, but that means that the actual damage dealers. We’ve sat back after mass battles and our damage dealers get tons more whilst tanky people and supports are left with way, WAY, less.

If it weren’t for us, they wouldn’t be capable of dealing that damage over such prolonged fights.

Anyone who decides to come will have fun, we guarantee it.

Timbersword.9014:

Tarnished Coast is PvE heavy. The bulk of GW2’s NA role-players are here, but since it’s unsupported by Arena.net, it’s not an official RP server. Don’t feel too compelled to play by “role-play” guidelines like you might think you have to in other MMO’s.

I say “think” because developers quickly learn not to give two $#!%s about their RP servers, and for good reason. So many trivial reports over the pettiest crap.

This is not entirely true, we are currently in Tier 2… TIER 2 in WvWvW. We are struggling in Tier 2, yes, but to be in Tier 2 as an RP server… that’s just incredible. PvP servers can’t say anything in retaliation when Tarnished Coast defeats them in WvWvW, it’s just not something than a PvP player would take down easily. “My PvP server lost to an RP server!?!?”

T1 is a scary place.

Does no one want Loot Bags for being a Support?

It’s fun and I enjoy it along with my guild, the teamwork, the tactics, the maneuvering of large armies and having everything be as perfect as possible on the battlefield is such a great thing to experience.

I read this matchup thread, because there’s always a chance FA and TC will swap places, and I want to get to know who we’ll be fighting to see if it’ll be fun both on the field and on the forums.

Best of luck to YB! Keep up the great attitudes everyone.

Oglaf? People have written really detailed explanations as to why this is perfectly balanced play, I suggest you read it, learn it, and add it to your playstyle to do well. Ask your Guild’s Commanders to set up people in accordance to what was typed in this thread so you guys can be more successful in future endeavors.

BG is like a freight train, it take a while to fully get started, but once it has it’s momentum… watch out. That thing will wreck you if you’re not prepared for it.

TC Still needs more of what’s in this thread.

Will a Support’s role become more rewarding with the upcoming patch?

If not or if so, how would it would if it is/were happening?

So, punish servers for having great communities with hundreds of players working together with their own guild and with other guilds on their server. and with guilds from different timezones, just because other servers cannot do the same?

ARM.3912:

And that should mean I have to see them spam because…?

They are wanting to lead an army of members from your server to win against two opposing servers?

ARM.3912:

Chat suppression is a good thing. I don’t want to hear your so called “commander” all night. Take it to party chat.

Party Chat is limited to 5 people, Commanders lead numbers in the 60+ at times, or less even.

I wonder how long it’ll be until our server isn’t allowed to have match discussions anymore.

I have wondered this for a while myself.
Or more so, when they just make match threads against the rules entirely.

Check out the BG/KN/TC Thread, prime example as to how Match Threads can go, positive mostly. Even SoR misses participating on the Forums with us, and other T1 server members would rather post in our thread than their own.

I have done so before,
The tier 2 threads are the way they should be.

But,
Your tier is the exception more than the rule,
I think most tier’s threads end up locked at least once a week

Try bringing that to this thread, and I’m not sure if you noticed or not, but there’s a few key members who are constantly trying to keep our Thread going in the proper direction. I’m sure it gets overwhelming for them at times as well as others who just need to have an outburst, but it’s a community effort with key people setting the examples.

These threads, I really want to read them to see what good old FA is up to, but it hurts.

Be nice, everyone.

Unfortunately w3 was designed physically as triangulation game, with three structure points supporting each other with defenders doubling and tripling from each. Due to the swords on the map and the pve grindish nature that continues to grow, we can take a point then join the zerg, or the zerg can run a flip train all day long, so no one has any incentive or interest to stay and defend or even hover and operate around that general area.

Have scouts around the map where they can call out any enemy approaches to your server’s upgraded camps who’s Yaks are important in supplying a major keep or key tower. That way, your Commanders are aware of enemy movements towards a supply camp in which investments were made. You’d most likely want to keep those upgraded camps due to their benefits, so defend them as a team. You also need to know when defending a camp will be possible or when it won’t be possible over the course of X amount of time, so choose your strategies as a server, not as individuals.

Coming from T2, I can assure you that we have held a camp for 6+ hours, reaping in the benefits from it’s upgrades. It’s difficult, but once you can create a web of information throughout all your guilds and pugs, well… let’s just say that defending and attacking became more easily navigable. You can even choose where and when you want battles to take place.

This goes for many other things as well, communication is key.

BGBL was intense, very intense. I loved participating there. Awesome job, everyone.

Sunspots.9861:

Falling asleep on your tower can be dangerous! Luckily we woke up just in time to play! Enjoy this Valentine’s Day Pictorial from [PiNK]!

That was a very funny moment, we let the wall go down as we ALL typed /sleep on the dome while Kaineng waltz in to take their tower back. When we all jumped down… well, it became a stop motion work of art during those first initial seconds after landing.

It’s scary in here.

I Will Rez U.1743:

Butttt Qidd!!! How can you deny their beauty as they cast their spells and run through the borderlands like graceful gazels… And don’t get me started on their /waves… Some of the most provacative waves I’ve ever seen

I’m so glad that my male Charr Mesmer finally had his efforts recognized, it’ll make him so happy! Wait until you see what he has up his sleeves this time, and it won’t be an illusion, I can assure you.

Hmm, what would the best way to woo some people our way be?

From my understanding so far; it’s okay for BG and SoR to have fought each other for 11 weeks prior to bursting through their Rating/Tier, but it’s not okay for T8 to have been fighting for 6 weeks? It’s okay for a server like SBI to fall to T8 (I wish they wouldn’t, and here’s hoping for that to not happen) in their condition, but it’s not okay for servers in their condition to be in T8?

If there was was a rating Reset, nearly every Tier would be another Kaineng vs Doors vs Doors scenario for a very long time, and everyone being in some rather unpleasant moods until they are reorganized to where they are now.

I honestly don’t get this thread, I really want to truly understand this.

I just wanted to remind everyone that I love my server and I love the fact that other servers have a wonderful time playing with us. There’s nothing more fun than everyone having fun, and I’m sure you can all agree, albeit, we do have the occasional negative inducer here and there, but it’s nothing like other threads in the WvWvW Forums.

Keep being awesome, guys.

This thread is so negative feeling.

Where were all these pseudocivil RE posters last week? It would’ve made for a better matchup, I think. I hope you’ve truly changed them, TC.

They are doing well and certainly have proven at the very least they are suited for T2. The rest of the week will tell if they are T1! All the other stuff you’re talking about isn’t really wvw, its forum trash.

You tell them! Great match up here, hope this goes on though-out the week. Lots of action, zerg on zerg, solo, ninja parties, really, no regrets coming to T2. Also its great how despite how intense the action is, people are still very much decent. I got killed in a water fight against some BGs, it was a pretty tough fight, still they bowed afterwards. Imagine that, I fully expected my corpse to be danced on after giving them a hard time. Thanks for the great fights and the civility guys. What would it take to get permanent residence here?

Your stay in this Tier is determined by your actions during the Yak Parade, you will be evaluated depending how you and your Guilds participate, and what actions are taken on your part.

FA, come to T2. Kaineng isn’t ready.

I’m not really fond of the idea of Garrisons, Keeps, and Towers going down by a handful of people. I play WvWvW, because I love the giant armies going at it for land and supplies. Armies with large number placing an enemy stronghold on siege and wiping out minor warbands as we ride, united, to combat in resupplying our siege needs.

I don’t know why people are against this, it’s an aspect of War in which servers are at war with each other. Small scale battles and small scale objective conquering is satisfied in sPvP or tPvP.

I personally want FA to come play with us again. I don’t want Kaineng’s moral to get slapped in the face once they truly do get to play against higher Tier opponents. Trust me, it’s not really about how well you’re doing. That has nothing to do with how you will perform against enemies with crazier strategies and more organized assaults. When TC was dominating T3, we knew we’d have a hard time in T2, we knew it’d be a slap in the face, and it was. But over the course time we got the hang of it.

Hmm, I always seem to miss the most fun events.

I’m sad to see people trying to tempt TC into being mean on the Forums, I’m sure that we can all agree that if TC keeps the happy cheery attitude on the Forums, that we’ll all have a much more fun time.

Anywho, this has been some insanely fun WvWvW.

I love TC, most people are cheerful, I’ve yet to run into lots of negativity.

Holy guacamole, this Guide is perfect for me. Lazy people ftw!

Lanimal.6541:

The reason TC is better than FA or CD is not simply down to numbers. In our Oceanic we are able to consistently make sure that we do not lose more than one keep whilst being outmanned on both sides of the map. We make CD work really hard to take Bay as well (Most of the time) and CD can vouch for our SunnyHill defense. The same issue occurs during FA or CD’s off-peak hours and they are unable to hold any of the keeps (maybe except garrison sometimes in CDBL).

Why is this? Because we share knowledge consistently between our pugs and guilds.

- Lots of regular WvWvWers and established commanders give Siege placement lessons in BL and EB to the pugs.
- We map out portal-ing waypoints, smart portaling tactics onto JPGS and give to all known mesmers for our golems and for our flanks.
- We know how to keep our thieves scouting smartly and contesting waypoints smartly.
- We have in-depth defense guides on each tower and keep written up and shared between the common guilds.
- We consistently urge people to not run solo and always party up as soon as they join BL, so in case we need a team to keep north supply camps flipped (during defense), or we need a team to flank into vale and destroy their trebs, or we need a balista team to flank and take out their siege -> we dont have to ask people to party up and do it.
- We don’t do silly guild claiming of keeps and key towers and we make sure the guilds that claim it can activate multiple buffs around the clock.
- We understand micro-strategy MUCH better than you guys. In defense mode we don’t panic, we know how to use the repel timer to portal bomb you guys (timed well to respawn), we understand how to counter Golem rushes (Mortars and Balistas) and focus on that than our gate defense, we understand how to consistently adapt to superior number and superior siege during our oceanic time (look at Sunnyhill).
- Most commanders know each other and regular WvWvW veterans so information is consistently passed and our response jumping from BL to BL is extremely quick. We will abandon Inner SM Siege if it means keeping out borderland green.

And I think the biggest difference between FA and TC is that we understand prioritization of targets on defense and offense better than you guys. I don’t know how many times I see your commanders consistently moving from Lake to Briar or Briar to Lake and it makes me lol knowing you just made our defense easier.

There are many many other reasons that can be listed but these should be enough.

Oh my, I was trying to figure out a way to word this, but this is far superior to what I would have typed out. Also, I’d like to add another point. Biased and only experienced through my point of view, but it seems to me that the Chat in TC is so well mannered majority of the time and our Pugs are always willing to follow orders.

TC Zergs! You may call them Zergs if you’d like, but it is not a Zerg if you were to read and see what goes on in a so called TC ‘Zerg.’ I was amazed when I followed my first few commanders, they’re able to communicate exactly what they want the ‘Zerg’ to do. Commanders usually know what their ‘Zerg’ would like to do, but they also know what the ‘Zerg’ needs to do. So a lot of our Commanders sometimes say “Okay, you guys can fight for a while, have fun! Make sure to settle back in when we’re ready.” No one says anything, they just go on a murder spree, but other times the Commanders would say “It’d be fun to fight that FA/CD Zerg, but let’s make sure we complete these objectives first, after that we can have some fun.” Another thing that I like about our ‘Zergs’ is that we can change trajectory and tactics at the slightest word of a Commander. If we need Stability and Healing going out, people will get out of combat change to those skills and proceed to help (if they can.) Or if we want to take something quick, Commanders would ask Mesmers (and whoever else can) to switch to Time Warp or other Quickness abilities for Sieges, mass Revives, Siege Clearing, etc.

Honestly, I fell in love with this game even more after experiencing moments like that. Strangers and acquainted players communicating so… so beautifully in the midst of battle. Sometimes, I want to squeal with joy at the awesome teamwork that I see happening, it’s so refreshing from other MMOs and their PvP. “l2play baddie” – “ur so kittenn bad omg” – “u guys r so stupid wow really wow no way ur that kitten #8221; – and other similar forms of that.

Osicat, you should stream if you can.

It’s not the hacking, that happens in all games as you said, it’s the way they go about it and what information is released to the individuals who’ve gone through it. An example would be in WoW 2 years ago I was hacked, everything lost, even my low level alts. My main was naked used for farming. That was during my 3 month break. I come back, open a ticket, go eat for 15 minutes, come back to a whisper from a GM that was 8 minutes old telling me how they couldn’t get a hold of me so they’ll restore everything when I relog. I did, all my items were in my mail (including 7 tabs of my Guild Bank) and all my characters were restored. I even kept everything that the hacker farmed/gained on my account and had still not gotten rid of before I opened a ticket.

Granted, WoW has had more experience over the years, but I do not like how those people are being treated by Anet. Despite the “we’re working on it” I believe that the victims should be at least be informed more often with more details if it won’t be resolved relatively soon.

You didn’t read the thread, did you? Just the title and the OP I would assume…
