Guild Wars 2

Lol at the T1 tears.

Do you guys think you’re a speacial snowflake because you optimaze your PPT play? We know what you guys do, and its extremely boring.

You dont just blob with baddies, you:
- Have mutiple 5 man ganking squads around bloodlust to cap and secure it, because this will get you loads of score from the constant fighting
-Have players willing to sit on towers/keep to scout, siege up and shoot anything that passes by
-Escort yaks en masse, play like a turttle most of the time
- If an open field fight is too difficult, set up siege
- “Map politics” lol

Rinse an repeat on all maps, ta da. Oh and when it gets “competitive” you know its time to:
-Siege grief
-Spy other teams voice comms or send alt acct
-Buy guilds for x time zone.
-Set up truces with another server that at the end you’ll the one taking more advantage

Instead of all that kitten you could be having fun just forgetting about the scoreboard and focus more on getting better at using your own character, syncronizing with your team. But nah winning matches is top leet skill amirite

2/10 troll thread

Really good video but why is there a clicker on HOPE…

I lol’d.

“I demand ANet to give more ppl to my server so I can do what the others servers are doing to me”

Then queues dont make no sense, unless…. theres a 20 man zerg doing jumping puzzles rofl

Evilzara.6378:

I always do /supplyinfo in enemy maps. The highest number I’ve ever gotten was 79 people. I’m guessing the max is 80 on enemy maps.

Home BL is harder to tell, I’ve never seen it empty on my server or had everyone on me but a commander on BP has gotten up to 90 people in a /supplyinfo check in home map.

As for Eternal, I’m guessing the number is around 80-90.

good to know, i guess my server has lots of roamers around cuz when i move a 50-55 man it into an outmanned bl it gets queued

Yes, which according to Anet it should be a bug. That they didn’t know what could make that happen, but yeah they also said they wont reveal whats the actual map cap on BLs/EBG

So I have been doing some testing for awhile on empty maps, where I know my server has no people due to outnumbered buff and we have no holdings on said map. I’ve then do a mass rally and get 50-55 people ( counted by supplyinfo) and been doing that mutiple times since league started, Kalkz also tried this yesterday and said he got about 60 on the enemy BL map.

Going even past that, from my wvw experience on previous servers I’ve seen that some servers have been able to fit 3+ 20-25 guild groups on home BL on reset night while still having enough to muster some havoc squads and scouts.

My conclusion would be that the map cap on an enemy BL is roughtly 60, on home BL about 80 and EBG about a 100.

Whats your experience? Do not make assumptions on opposing zergs numbers as they do look very big and people tend to exagerate by a large marging

Tr:dl
Map cap on:
-Enemy BL = 60
-Home BL = 80
EBG = 100

Still got a coverage gap in ocx/sea nothing extremely major, but might make T2 bit more competitive.

Our EU is packing with some real good commanders that coordinate and work well, would like a few more fight-loving individuals during said time zone

I know a couple of VR guys that can command on staff ele extraordinary well. The movement and “bombing” is different than the current meta, not going into details though

Theres barely any terrain in any map that can fit 50 ppl lined up hotizontally without any obstruction, it might look cool but it’d woudnt be effective

I’m more worried for FA tbh. If history proves anything, they have some clear symptoms of a server about to experience another drastic population change.

Take SoR for example. They lost their will to keep fighting in T1, lost some coverage, and decided to tank it out to “rest in T2”. Their first match in T2 they loose against FA/Mag and the drama/dissapointment started, and we all know how the rest of the story went.

Now FA who was unable to hit gold despise their attempts, now might loose in silver league despise thinking it’d be a snoozefest for them?

I’m also hoping HOD stays all big and all post season, Mag has a history of stopping bandwagons.

I think you guys should be abit more grateful, most ppl that have the cohones to tag up are trying to help out, let the new ones take the baby steps and as a server help him out by whispers, not on public.

If that still doesn’t work out and the commander refuses to learn, he will naturally lose all his followers

“Kitten just yolo it, go balls deep” is what i say uncounsiously and one of my favorites is from a SEA commander that shouts “WE CAN WE CAN”

Aitadis.8269:

A good scout and well placed siege can really ruin a golem rush even when outnumbered. It’s just there is no incentive or reward to scouting inside a keep several hours so no one wants or is willing to do it.

Quoting for truth.

Omega rushes can be easily stopped, if scouted you can set up a counter and take advantage that in most cases the opposing team wants to get into lords room desperately, making them pay for recklessness

This guy has lots of patience as he has caugh me in bad moods before and tolerated some kitten yet he remains very respectful and very fun to engage fights against, props to you guys and GL on your progress and recruitment

Doesn’t have anything to do with wvw it seems

Your description is literally a guardian with staff. Put soldier gear on and you’ll be able to zerg surf no prob

Ppl always hyperbole everything its beyond dumb.

If you got two decent groups or more and you are all communiting well it can be very devasting, you just need good leadership and people on the same page.

If you think your servers leadership sucks tag up or shut up, or ofc, transfer.

You don’t say.jpg

So the QQ begins

Guys are awesome at what they do

Who are you guys talking about ?

I am too curious where did Tyrion go, it was nice to meet other spanish speaking players.

Did he quit game or just moved servers?

It shoudn’t be acct bound tbh, Gw2 is the most stable game economic wise ive played and its because of all the gold sinks/prevented gold sellers

Highly doubt HoD is that good. Their pugs and disorganization will just lead to an implosion fast, unless they some how manage to get commanders on the same page, and prevent tunnel visioned pug k trains

How can HoD queue that much but not steamroll everything smh

I support removing aoe cap but realisticly its not going to happen, anet has said before it would make the game extremely laggy.

Also, i missed this thread, great sugestions with the exception of nerfing defense siege

Honestly hope you guys beat FA, you got a long history with said server. Hope IoJs community is still as warm as ever since I was there

Yep, I hope for DB/SOS/MAG tomorrow night, and we can make sure DB doesnt tick higher than 100. :P

So many ways to avoid/counter it im just gonna skip on giving a real reply on this

I’m not ok with trebs not doing dmg throught gates, its already difficult to defend structures when outnumbered

Hamster.4861:

The most common analogy used to describe this is “herding cats” and I’m sure we’d all love to hear some of the tricks used by our best cat shepherds. cough nacho cough

Idk if this is a compliment or a friendly jab, or not even directed at me :P

Anyways, what I usually do is to be consistent during a specific time zone, adding everybody that WvWs to my friend list, which I use as a rally list ( Kalkz taugh me this).

What I do is a have a personnal guild which i save up my rally msg in the guild msg, so i can ctrl+x it and then mass whisper ppl simply by clicking everyone one by one and pressing ctrl+v to paste.

Now, the key to become a celebmander is be consistent and reward your zerg with karma trains. You’ll get popular super fast and get a blob on you, but be aware that these players will leave you as soon as they wipe and they are not good at fighting.

Hope that helps a bit

Follollowing the previous “Your funniest experience as a solo roamer” I’d figured the same topic could be as constructive and entertaining but on for larger scale engagements.

Here’s mine:

Leading my zerg in an enemy BL map, about to hit NW tower, we realised we had been scouted and the enemy zerg was already waiting for us. We had around 15-20 and the opposing zerg consisted of about 40s. Knowing we are outmanned and very near there spawn, I make my team retreat north, pointless to excape since they are on our tail, I make my team jump off a clift where you land on a small edge, this fall takes about 80% of your hp. We saw the huge sea of red follow us and as they faceplant I already have my team focus firing the bottom, we killed about 30 of them.

Shortly after with nowhere to go, the remaining enemies build arrow carts up top, finishing us off.

On the previous season Yaks Bend proved they will do anything there is to seize a victory when there is a remote possibility, it woudn’t suprise me if it happens again

Hard to say, if people are trying to get some fights or wipe an opposing zerg, up lvls are frowned upon.

If you notice its a big zerg capping towers/keeps its fine

Just came here to say, congrats TC on your T1 win.

Woudn’t it be funny if every supervisor/tower lord/keep lord was as an SM lord

Chaba.5410:

FA has always had a good mix of guilds with different playstyles. It’s silly to point at BOMB or CL (or even HOPE) and claim their style is representative of FA as a whole.

As for Maguuma, they used to turtle up on their home borderland and build massive amounts of siege there for defense (hence then nickname Turtleguuma). Then at some point before Season 1 it seemed they got some new transfers in, or at least it was better organization from guilds like Ark, did less turtling, and have been climbing the ranks as a result. GG.

My bad if I made it sound like CL/BOMB represented all FA, didn’t mean it like that, just comparing how Sad Tas’s says we (mag) blob up all the time which is silly for obvious reasons

Dont be ridiculous dude, every server blobs at some point, specially militia groups. I take it you are from FA, correct me if I am wrong. I’ve seen guilds tag up ( CL) to blob up, and you know Tyrion can pull some crazy numbers too, you do not see us complaining about it because we are use to fighting against odds

Le Rooster.8715:

Mag needs more NA guilds if you want t2 sos and fa have queues mag don’t

Pretty sure we dont want more NA, just because we dont queue maps doesnt mean we want more coverage.

We could use OCX and you know that.

Also, Sad Tas is sad. You’re too funny dude

Jeff.5139:

So I guess at this point it’s safe to say that there is absolutely no such thing anymore as a server that’s “for fights”? Everyone have to dance the PPT dance after all?

On current events: you guys think the title of “[PPS] Playing Possum Server” is apt for BG? or maybe there’s no plan and their just busy elsewhere before they crank it back up during the League? Grats to TC btw!

Like it or not the only fight centric server has been mag, and possibly FA. Just take a look back, mag never ppt’d hard to win, and when season 1 was announced they went all tryhard to get into gold league, fully knowing they dont have the coverage but its where the fights are at.

After S1 they didnt care about score again, even sbi and yb beat them score wise at one point. They hated T3, “season 2” was just announced and they decided to ppt again to secure their spot in higher tiers.

That was all before i got to move here, fyi. So its an outsiders PoV. As of right now, Tier 2 is quite fight centric with a lot of top guilds of NA servers altogether.

Tl;Dr Mag has been fight centric for the longest time and hasn’t imploded.

Honestly DB might beat FA in a SoR/DB/FA week purely because your SEA will flat out ppt FAs NA.

^^^^^ Lol, yes, mag is home of famous actors and billionares. They paid my full transfer plus Eternity and Bifrost.

Dis getting interesting. Popcorn anyone?

Need more Mag/FA/SOS

I’d say the great community you are looking for, that is similiar to TCs would be IoJ. I’m not sure if they changed their attitude since its been a few months since I moved, but if they havent, its probably a close second to TC.

I kinda like it. I get the fights more often and its funny how my follower list keeps growing

Lol at all the mag posts.

@Andrew – You know why mag PPTd in T3, we didn’t want to be there. Now that we are at T2, theres been tons of good fights, multiple GvGs and the ppt play has died down plenty.

Heck, yesterday i lead a Pug vs Pug scrimmage, out of the blue against SoS. Early on the week! If i ever did that back on my former server I’d get yelled at for not playing ppt

GvG is alive and growing on Mag/T2. Heck, even our pugs are doing it. Just today we had a Pug vs Pug 20v20 scrimmage.

We still need some more SEA/OCX love to maybe spark some balance in T2. I’d also like more competent and consistent militia
