All WxP means is that you play a lot and you run around in a big group most the time. It’s unfortunate, could have been an awesome system if it was done differently.

Well I think with diminishing returns on enemy kills I think the best way to farm WXP is to run with the zergball, after a few enemy wipes, go on a PVE farming circuit (nodes, harpies, wargs) then hop maps and rinse repeat. Its a shame that PVE events give as much as taking camps. I am only Rank 46 though.

BT is extremely good at using chokepoints and its because of their group composition (heavy necros) THOSE MARKS and other neat tricks as well. I seen many TC militia groups get wiped to that (FABL Bay, southern towers @ TCBL). There are ways to counter it but requires pretty good coordination and movement.

One could also go the easy route and use on the fly siege to make them slightly uncomfortable with holding the choke but this is obviously very situational as well as dependent on each structure.

I think people are jumping to conclusions without realizing the significant influence that WM has on this Tier. Things will be a lot more even once they are back in full force.

I said something on this matter before and am just going to explain it again.

We wanted our few members in WvWvW that play during SEA or Oceanic to not get burnt out of WvWvW by playing against exhausting odds. We wanted them to have guilds to play with and learn with and we have achieved that with the transfer of the guilds from CD.

Is it about allowing some of our hardcore commanders have a better sleep cycle? Yeah but its more about helping our WvWvW population that have been playing for months during SEA and Oceanic.

It is extremely extremely easy for someone who does not play in the SEA or Oceanic timezones to say “Nightcapping is part of the game, its an accepted truth”. Its not. Not for the people who have played 20vs60 every night for months against CD, DB, SoR, BG, Kaineng and FA (Post IoJ).

FA did the same for DPS when they needed people to join their guild and the difference is noticeable.

As far as T1 goes? Its out of our control, T1 itself is a very unstable tier and an implosion in T1 could definitely push us up there if we keep winning T2 but its not something we plan for or worry about. The rating difference is significant enough that as of right now that if things stay as it is we still have a month or two in T2. Once WM starts playing again the top spot in T2 will be up for grabs again and I don’t see us consistently getting positive rating gains.

I personally believe that TC as a server is destined for T1 eventually, slow and steady growth based on the characteristics of the server; stability, high base population since launch and reputation. If people think when/if TC goes to T1 the toxicity of T1 will destabilize the server and lead to a guild exodus of some sort; they are very very off the mark we will simply roll with the punches and come back to T2 as healthy as before.

Back on HoD during launch, I remember my old guild (ULTD) was often paired up with one of our fellow Titan Alliance guilds, Condemned, on a reset night. I have never seen such a huge amount of players as Condemned.

That was until tonight. I have never ever seen so many players from one guild: PiNK. Crazy amount of you.

edit note: But why does your leader use the ghost tonic? It’s very easy to spot. Not trying to troll, just saying it’s easy to spot with the culling fix. When I am panning to see where your zerg is moving, the ghost form sticks out like a black dot on a white wall. There is no guessing on our end to see where you are adjusting mid fight. It’s very easy for an organized opponent to spot where you intend to go and counter it.

Maybe just maybe we use it as misinformation since we know of a few FA guilds tendencies to focus fire commander above all else. (2 tags, one with ghost one without) ?

Leg Specialist + Arrow Cart = Enemy lockdown

Remove leg specialist please before arrow cart mastery is implemented. That would be just too much.

I am guessing it will have a new skill, a large radius and more conditions as a bare minimum I dont know what else arrow cart mastery will bring …. poison arrows? But its just a bad idea to have leg specialist stay there with increased radius.

You guys are conveniently leaving out your EU presence. FA – Oceanic; TC -EU; KN – SEA; Everyone – N/A free for all of chaos.

Sure but what about your SEA guilds fighting against all odds against Kainengs SEA forces? Or your Euro guilds…I dont know if FA has any mostly just your NA guys logging in early.

Do you not think that fighting in such timezones (although very rewarding at times when being successful at ninjas and smart map hopping) doesn’t eventually lead to burnout?

In terms of overall score and how close the rating is hell yeah this is a competitive tier but once you break down each timezone and look at the player spread across all timezones its not. There is still potential for this tier to be even better than it is provided we all get that little extra help in our coverage gaps. I believe T2 can reach that without becoming megaservers.

I agree with what you’re saying. The burnout for each tiers counter is something to be aware of (i.e. our SEA fighting KN or your guys fighting our Oceanic). The issue is these players are such a limited quantity that they are like diamonds. Also, they paid for a game so they typically want to do more than PvDoor, so they often migrate to the T1’s (understandable).

The issue to me – is this makes you guys a T1.5. And there just aren’t enough EU/SEA guilds to sprinkle between FA and KN in this situation to maintain that precarious balance. You’ll have N/A, EU, and potentially significant SEA (I have no idea what your numbers will be, but just for theory’s sake). T2 is kind of like N/A plus 1 primetime. I’m glad that’s going to work out for you guys, but it’s probably going to destabilize the tier.

Who knows. It may do nothing and I just wasted a box of kleenex for no reason.

I am hoping it would make us the semi-competitive server during SEA but not the dominant one (Kaineng still as long as WM keeps playing). If you look at T1 when the game launched or 3-4 months back the coverage all three of us have right now was pretty much T1 coverage. That ceiling of coverage keeps increasing and I think the megaservers will keep increasing (especially if skill lag is fixed – one of the main problems with both EU and NA T1). Todays T1 servers are imo twice the size of T1 servers a couple of months back.

It might make us T1.5 although I would wager its more around the T1.25 area. But a month down the line when hopefully you guys get the few europeans and Kainengs get the NA required that would be the new T2 and T1 would be some other monster all together. Obviously all this rests on the fact that none of the T1 servers implode and looking at the three servers up their right now all three of them are very very stubborn servers.

Just imagine a T2 where PVD does not exist. I can dream.

this, my views do not reflect my server

so please, do not believe that all of FA thinks the way i do

i believe what i believe and people believe what they believe
the fact that they want a competitive match up so they recruit more guilds when there is only a 30k point difference kinda baffles me

I couldn’t agree more. I see some discussion of how this week is a 1v1 and it isn’t good for the tier or competitive. Based on my personal experience this week I can only conclude two things.
1. I’ve been rolled over multiple times by KN and TC guilds, so this definitely isn’t a 1v1.
2. There’s a 30k gap between 1st and 3rd. Looks pretty competitive to me.

On another note, I’d personally like to see the outmanned buff mess with the ppt a little bit (ie, you can’t generate an overwhelming lead if you greatly outnumber your opponents for a period of time.) I’m sure there are plenty of flaws in my way of thinking, but it’s something I’d be interested to see play out.

Who keeps FA’s really strong oceanic guilds (AVTR, PRO) in check when Kainengs SEA is not playing to its full potential? Certainly TC alone with our current inferior off-peak coverage (Oceanic / SEA) cant hold you guys or Kaineng off alone (unless some of our commanders play crazy hours like last week). This allows you guys to have pretty much a very long duration of mostly PVDoor and lockdown of triple waypointed FABL which then impacts the next timezone and so on and so forth. There has to be a three server dynamic even if it means that there is one dominant server, one semi-competitive one and one holding on for dear life.

E.g. Oceanic – FA —--KA- TC
E.g. SEA – KA——————————-FA——TC

It is kind of a 1v1 during SEA/Oceanic for TC and its not pretty. Its not the case during NA for sure, even fights then.

If the roles are reversed and AVTR/Pro took a break for a week for FA the impact on the tier would be even more. AVTR/Pro do their part to keep Kainengs SEA in check.

i was thinking more along the good old TC/CD/FA match ups which TC won but 100k points….. what i don’t get is why after saying they love this tier and match up so much, they are trying for tier 1 which pretty much broken the mighty Blackgate after 3 weeks, including 1 win, due to it toxic nature

Does TC really want to test itself on its ability to survive that?

BG is not imploding, its perfectly fine and healthy its just the rumor mill going circles. BG has faced this situation before and survived, pretty sure they are just fine this time around as well. You guys are really not giving BG’s core community enough credit.

On the topic on helping Kaineng recruit of course we meant to recruit for them. They need NA guilds there is no skirting around that fact and we want Kaineng to get NA guilds so weeks like this one dont occur when one of their main guilds have to take a break from WvWvW for most of the weekend and early week to avoid burnout and cause a 1v1. Thats not a competitive tier. If I come across any NA guilds interested in TC, I will also vouch for Kaineng to the point hopefully that they at least sit in a meeting with the Kaineng reps.

Only reason we were able to compete with Kain last week was because some of our commanders and dedicated players played some insane shifts almost to the point of burnout. Its not healthy. TC has always lacked SEA coverage and after months long communication we have finally found friends in that time-slot.

I think TC believes in keeping all their WvWvW-ers happy whether they play in NA/Oceanic/SEA or EU timeslots. We want them all to feel like they are contributing to the servers WvWvW experience and they can do that with more people to play with during their hours. Our goal is to have a healthy round the clock coverage not 24/7 queues (T1 status) so our hardcore NA players dont feel obligated to play to the point of burnout and our skilled and dedicated off-hours crew dont burn out fighting superior oceanic forces from FA and SEA forces from Kaineng.

I am sure Kaineng feels the same way about their NA and FA feels the same way about their european. Doesn’t FA always joke about how “TC-ers skip days of work to compete with our superior skill and will eventually burnout?” Well one of the many reasons for recruiting these CD guilds (other than the fact that they are a perfect fit for our community) is that it was a measure taken to prevent that burnout

I am sure once FA gets some european guilds and Kaineng gets some NA guilds then T2 would be even better than it is. There won’t be any complains about PVDoor, there wont be any excuses about skipping work to gw2 etc. It will be close to even fights round the clock without the toxicity or queue issues of T1.

I’ve noticed that FA BL north supply has been fully upgraded (unless TC capped it within the last 24 hrs).

On forum: “Oh I love Kaineng they’re such great opponents, class act!”

In game: “Kaineng is at 100 ppt so let’s go take their home garrison and ignore FA even though they’re winning”

or:

“Oh, I see Kaineng is trying to take Bay. We could take a tower or two and improve our PPT while TC is busy and grow our lead, but let’s sit at south gate and pick off Kaineng reinforcements so that TC can hold their keep while we stay at +10 PPT on this map.”

— AoN

Love it.

The reasoning behind the first one is slightly different than that.

“CO RE and RISE are on TCBL hitting us pretty hard we need to get them off TCBL so lets pressure their Garrison in KABL. Once they leave we can attempt at upgrading our properties in TCBL.”

The situation might have been different if CO RE and RISE had gone in force to FABL Hills while TC was trying to take bay for 3 hours (Great defense FA btw).

It would be so superficial if TC players were posting on FA’s recruitment thread when all the dirty laundry between the two servers is aired constantly. It would be counter-productive for you guys and the majority of you guys would typically think we are being sarcastic. I am sure there are players on TC that are on neutral ground with FA and they would be cool with ‘helping you guys’

Similar to our history with BG and Kaineng there is a much longer-standing history with TC and FA and not much of a positive one.

Kaineng is neutral though, you could always convince them to bump your thread if you need help with recruiting. I thought FA enjoyed being the underdog and therefore not having to deal with their fairweathers and being able to get all their guilds on the map when they are red and 3rd?

Isn’t that what you guys play for; moar lootz? Moar lootz to go around for you guys if Kaineng and TC get more guilds. Means your one guild can now wipe fully queued maps instead of just twice their number! Honestly dont know why you guys are complaining ^.^

Its win-win-win

TC benefited a lot from KN and BG players posting positive comments on our recruitment thread so much so that I didn’t have to go actively recruit, people came to us.

Noticed we didn’t quite repay the favour in kind to Kaineng and just asked people to bump their recruitment thread. Its not like I am going out of my way and talking to guilds to join Kaineng :P because I am quite effective at that as well.

All three servers in T2 have gaps and all three servers can push for first place based on hours invested in-game or other servers stepping of the gas etc. Kaineng getting pacific NA guilds and TC getting oceanic guilds and FA getting SEA guilds will only make this tier even better.

About not helping FA? Well I have on the whole not had that many positive experiences dealing with FA’s community so I would be kidding myself by BS’ing on your thread.

Consider Transferring to Kaineng

Kaineng is an excellent destination for players of all skill levels and all timezones. TC player here who has faced Kaineng for months now and I have nothing but the utmost respect for the server.

They have some of the best ‘complete’ guilds in the game in the form of RISE and WM and I believe they help tremendously in teaching/helping out new players and other guilds on their server.

Kaineng could use some more NA guilds to keep T2 as competitive as it is for a long time to come. Trust me when I say this that T2 is the place to be for the best WvWvW in the game.

We all love this tier and a large part of that is because of the three server involved. I do not believe the situation in Kaineng is all doom and gloom but there are some valid concerns bought up by a few Kaineng players, primarily the lack of NA and not having a large enough PVE population to draw players in from.

Instead of just worrying about it lets do something about it then. Lets help Kaineng recruit by bumping their thread by sharing our positive thoughts and opinions on Kaineng. I know TC got a lot of love from Kaineng and BG players alike to make our recruitment thread be very effective in recruiting individual players and small guilds. Lets do the same for them. I urge FA players to do the same.

About the FA Weekend thing I think we’re skipping a few steps.
Think about what it means when a group of people do much better on the weekend than during the work week. What does it say about their demographics?

Could also be interpreted as TC having lots of successful entrepreneurs / people who are their own bosses and or work in fields that do not require a 9-5 desk jobs. Really shouldn’t read into it much

I have not seen WM around as much as they usually are.

FA always has a decent to good weekend but this is usually offset by Kainengs weekend presence. WM typcally in my opinion has always put lots of hours on the weekends, this weekend not so much.

I think that is one of the primary reasons the scores are like they are.

Trust me i know all about Bg’s strong points, used to command there for the guild and always in Wvw for about 2 months. Only thing I was pointing out is that Kaineng kept a close race and would blow Tc out of the water, even with BG’s main focus was kaineng 100% of the time. Seeing the score now, even with new players in TC, kaineng can and would do better with ppt if they chose to. Back to the original arguement, kaineng’s main focus in Wvw is not ppt or coverage. nor do they focus ppt as much as Tc does. I do believe TC’s main focus is ppt. Now that i think aobut that wouldnt a bunch of roleplaers be more into the battles on the field then sitting with more towers and camps and playing a numbers game?

But focus has little to do with it. When three servers are matched up you need to test the victor in each individual timezone and unlike this match-up there wasn’t much changing in that match-up on a daily basis across the four timezones.

NA: #1 BG, #2 TC, #3 Kaineng
Oceanic: #1 BG #2 Kaineng #3 TC (interchanging 1st and 2nd)
SEA : #1 Kaineng #2 BG #3 TC
European: #1 BG #2 TC #3 Kaineng (interchanging 2nd and 3rd)

We had no timezone where we were dominant in. Kaineng had SEA and BG had the other three.

As you can see BG’s strengths completely nullified our strengths. This is why the scores were as they were. Throw in other factors such as

- TC has improved in meta, gained population due to patch and individual transfers
- TC had lost quite a few fairweather PVE-ers sitting 3rd in T2 for a while (getting stomped by SoR in a 1v1)

Kaineng does play for PPT they might not burn themselves out as a push towards T1 because I think as a server they understand they are not ready for it just yet. If they wanted to could they win T2 with bigger margins? Sure. I think they can win T2 with margins of 15-25k above 2nd place if they really pushed hard but I don’t think they want to burn themselves out BEFORE they hit T1.

By any means it would not be a blowout, which is why this is a very competitive tier. I dont consider 15-25k margins a blowout.

If kaineng actually played for points they would be in tier1. they play just enough of it to stay on top in tier2.

edit: When kaineng plays for points and you can see it when they played against BG, they would slaughter TC. To say they play just as much as TC is inaccurate. Go back to those scores and you can see what kaineng is/was capable of.

It’s a bit unfair to use the Stackgate matchup for context, here. Kaineng could ‘slaughter’ TC there because of their nighttime presence, which TC had almost none of. When it came to NA, one server was getting rolled by nascent-T1 Blackgate as much as the next.

Before stackgate. Only the last week is when blackgate received transfers, right before moving to tier 1. I believe there were 3 weeks before that when it was only 20-30k point difference. Part of the reason I said to go back and look at the old points.

BG’s strongest timezone has always been their European which completely nullifies our second strongest timezone (TC). Which means we had 1/4 timezones to complete in (NA) and unlike FA, BG’s NA was similar to ours i.e. they played longer hours and had more west coast players. This is why the scores were like they were, not to mention BG had some extremely skilled ‘complete’ guilds and in my opinion much better defensive response times than either Kaineng or FA.

Like seriously..do not give them way-points in your borderland.

Scenario: RISE @ SE (Water) camp on KABL trying to cap it. TC militia zerg repeatedly running in to contest and dying giving them lots of badges. Yet we kept doing it for a good 20 minutes. They dropped a merchant to empty out their loot. I chuckled. I completely understand we were feeding them. Not really WXP though because the deaths were so close together.

While I was running in, contesting, building ballistas on the cliff and dying I was whispering our TCBL commander to push quickly for Hills in TCBL because we knew that RISE was map hopping to do damage and maximize PPT. We didn’t lose the camp and got back hills eventually. RISE got a lot of badges, both parties were happy. This was two days ago.

This is in essence what I play for, the macro PPT-game across all maps. I think its a play-style that is very much a part of TC and more and more commanders are enjoying taking it on board and putting it into practice.

And now that I don’t need to do armor repairs when outmanned? xD

Not saying that we don’t have guilds who love open world ZvZ/GvG and zerg busting, we have tonnes and Pink also do that during NA Prime but I would hope not at the sacrifice of smart macro & meta for maximizing PPT. At least I try to encourage all guilds and commanders to keep smart macro play at the forefront of their thinking.

We have a lot of europeans that play during this timeslot so if you are a small european guild that intends to recruit and grow; Tarnished Coast is one of the best destinations to do that. With the W3 patch right around the corner you can expect an even bigger militia pool to recruit from.

Awesome reset I only got to play 3 hours before getting dc-ed. Didn’t feel like sitting in queue at 8 am so went to bed.

Congratulations to FA for beating TC. Respect where respect is due, you guys improved your meta-game considerably this week.

I especially want to point out the RET guild for locking down FABL during early NA hours and getting it fully upgraded. Having to deal with fully upgraded keeps in NA prime time is never fun.

What we really need more than anything else is one or two european guilds to really take advantage our awesome european numbers. European guilds would be treated like royalty on TC and would easily make a name on the server and the tier by helping us organize that timezone.

There was a neat thread about Best Reputed Server

- https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Best-Reputed-Server

TC got quite a few mentions

We still need people to join us!

We seem to be closing in the gap that existed between us and FA. Its still unlikely that we beat them this week especially if they can post numbers like they did on Monday, however a glimmer of hope at least.

Also what is this rumor about TC taking a day off work to push on Tuesdays? xD You guys do realize that its our Oceanic/SEA/Europeans that do the hard work on the weekdays setting up our NA, those guys aren’t taking days off work :P

I like the part of that video where you ignore the team chat calling for help at bay to wipe [RET] at a camp

you guys must take us pretty seriously

clearly your meta game is beyond our level

You guys must be tired of running from point to point if you guys react to every call made in team chat. I would get sick of running that much. I guess its preferred to just listen to our scouts in mumble.

Also FA since when does NA primetime start at 3pm!!! You guys started really early today, BT, RET, ZN, GODS all of you guys were out on TCBL. I have to go to bed after defending Hills in TCBL for so many hours. Is it because of spring break / school holidays that FA’s primetime is starting this early?

Still looking for individuals and guilds to come join us in our Oceanic and SEA timeslots. Once you come here you will never transfer anywhere else again

I see the commanders chatter with them all them all the time. There’s a LOT of communication going on, and I have several times seen commanders lead whole huge groups over from various BLs to EB (or the like) to defend in a pinch, or for a particularly big push.

It’s weird because there’s a decent sized crew of people who like to defend keeps, etc, and then those who love to follow the commander on the offensive.

I can’t imagine sitting around a keep playing defense and stuff, but that’s apparently some people’s cup of tea…and I’m thankful for them.

Well, I know RET and the other big guilds are on the teamspeak server and the leaders try to communicate all the time, and we’ll switch BLs back and forth constantly to defend/attack. I’m more envisioning some General-type figure that overlooks the battlefield from on high and directs all the respective guilds and groups around. Because, like I said, we do have a tendency to tunnel vision.

Nyari is the closest thing you will find to a ‘general’ on TC.

I try to take a similar role during our off-peak time (WM’s primetime) but I deal with the three borderlands.

Well you guys are only in T2 because you absorbed other servers, and because you have coverage in a timeslot most servers are dead below t1.

We beat you everytime we faced you, and everytime we get to hear new excuses, just stop it, stop once and for all with the excuses, and show us that you really are so good as you tell everyone. Because all I read right now, all I read is people claiming to be so kitten good, why are you guys not in t1 allready if you are so kitten good.

You guys are only in T2 because you had a larger WvW population and better coverage to start with and then absorbed some of CD after they broke up in T3 in addition to other transfers you’ve received. You are obviously recruiting as well since your thread is continually bumped. To say TC hasn’t benefitted from transfers and only FA has is just beyond stupid. Not sure what you’re point is there unless you were trying to prove that.

The trolly timeline presented outlines the situation pretty clearly in terms of coverage. We are much better than TC at PvP as a server. That’s undeniable. However, that alone doesn’t account for the score difference dropping from 100k to 10k from Dec to Feb. That was when we got our brothers from another mother from IoJ. Coverage levels are close now. We destroy you guys in field. You beat us in PPT meta. You have an 8k or 9k lead for the first time this week which you haven’t stopped bragging about on the forums since yesterday. We had it for the days prior (Excluding KN) and there are 2 days left in this match.

As to why we aren’t in T1. The answer is simple. We don’t have the coverage. I swear you’ve played this game before…

You guys are clearly so much better than TC at PVP its why during every NA prime-time you guys lose ground to us in overall score, PPT and structures. Its why all the hard work that your IoJ guilds do in oceanic time are erased. Don’t be delusional. You are in T2 because you are carried by your oceanic. Your NA has beaten us once during primetime and that was on the Saturday this week, we beat you on reset, on Sunday, on Monday and o boy did we beat you yesterday.

P.S We are going to beat you tonight as well.

TC is an extremely hard working server who make up for our coverage gaps with sheer work ethic. We are still very interested in talking to EURO/SEA/Oceanic guilds.

Good grief, he complements what is probably the best guild on Fort Aspenwood and you still get your panties in a bunch?

I’m complimenting him too. PiNK was a great challenge when they outnumbered our guilds 2 to 1. They did a great job at showing us how to dominate with fewer numbers. Now that numbers are a little more even I get sad when I see them because I have to waste time at a merchant

BT is a solid guild and when we know they are on the map we have to be on our toes, have our eyes on our flanks and move / react quicker than them…and most of the time we do.

However, I would go on a limb and say that although it would be impossible to arrange this because we are on the same team, the toughest test for Pink other than HB would be KH.

SEA time is just so easy. PvDoor time is super fun time.

I forget, what is TC’s and Kain’s strongest timezone?

This isn’t TC’s timezone.

It’s just that WM and Meow is content with sitting in FA BL for the last hour and a half and not attacking anything else.

Did you not notice that they flipped TCBL pretty quickly twice (All green except NE tower)? If you don’t believe us you can go check our upgrades even now. It is only after that they moved to FABL. You guys were failing at the PPT game thats all until that 3 golem squad hit KABL (drgn guild I think). You were losing the majority of your points in EB not in the borderlands.
