The tiers are based entirely on the level of coverage your server possess. Thinking otherwise is just foolhardy. I don’t care how good and hardcore you think you are. You can’t compete with a full coverage 24/7 server if there are 8 hours of the day that your own server can’t field more than 30 players across all four borderlands.
Speak for yourself.
My wife.
She still is the one boss that remaines undefeated…
That isn’t going to change any time this century.
A good server is dependent on the amount and frequency of silly activities that happen during match ups.
In my experience camps when flipped always go to 100 supply no matter its state before flipping, so I don’t think it wastes supply.
This is completely incorrect.
However, you’re not understanding a simple thing. The Holy Ram is an item of reverence to all Maguuman invaders. Creating new temples and shrines inside enemy territory is a free ride to Ram Heaven as stated in The Holy Book of Maguuma.
This is the other side for a little perspective. It was during week 41, SoS and FA… That was probably the worst beating Maguuma has ever received as a server, and probably would’ve completely demoralized a less insane server.

Edit: I’m trying to dig up some screenshots of Ramelot. It was beautiful.
Apparently I can only do one pic per post, so I’ll do this one. But it doesn’t even begin to do it justice.
43 Flame Rams
22 Arrow Carts
19 Trebuchets
9 Ballistas
4 Catapults
6 Omega Siege Golems

People should embrace Ramelot.
Mag: 166,566 +245
DB: 155,160 +135
YB: 146,359 +315
I’m amazed the scores are anywhere near close. DB probably has the least amount of players that celebrate Christmas, just another day to them. Some of you Mags took that bullet for the team. Bravo gentleman. You are a better Maguuman than I.
Some of those players may not be attached to any server and float around just to grief
That’s usually how it works. Stay on a specific server and you’ll eventually just get caught.
Culling. Wow. This is probably the main reason people don’t do WvW.
Culling is the real reason people stop playing this game. Worst design decision in the history of MMOs really. Even buggier than WARs collision detection… And collision detection was crazy broken lol.
Yeah I’d shoot myself in the face if all I did in this game was PvD all day long. I need to be killing folks while I siege a tower. Anyway, Merry Christmas everybody.
Why badges aren’t simply a different currency for your character, like karma, is beyond me. Such a simple fix to the whole thing. Not complicated.
Make siege equipment bind on account while you’re at it.

Just need more varied and accessible WvW gear.
No
For instance when they took advantage of WvW going out yesterday and speed took most of YBBL using a variety of cheats.
If they means Mag, yeah, that’s exactly what happened. ’Cause Yaks got golem rushed.
Did this Yaks dude just call golem rushing cheating? Pretty sure that’s what just happened.
Never seen a thread get locked because it didn’t stay on topic for like 4 posts, so dumb lol
Anyway, DB did work while everybody was sleeping. Lots of prep today for x-mas, it’ll be hard to come back from this one I imagine.
At 29 I’ve gotta keep one of those Life Call medical response things on me at all times. You know that “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” commercial? Yeah, that was me.
Any guardian can teleport. Doesn’t matter what race or weapon he’s using. In fact, any guardian can teleport twice if they want to.
YBBL, the other other white meat.
Low leveling WvW tips tlrd;
-Use siege equipment. Stats don’t matter when you’re using a ballista/cannon/whatever.
-Stay within the safety of the zerg.
Pretty much a fight to stay in T4 atm.
Maguuma drew the baby boomer crowd. Hearing-aids and all.
Close, Rhyis, however, we’re still going to be T4, just T4 red.
I just said it’s possible, not that it’s current happening. Atm we’re scraping by by the skin of our teeth. 7k points ahead of DB or something, which will change once the site is updated.
I’ll make an attempt to explain it. It’s because each server has a specific total overall score from all their matches, and based on that score your current score is judged against the other two servers scores.
So like, in this match up, Yaks total overall points from all their match ups is 120 higher than Mags. And Mags is 30 higher than DBs. Now, because Yaks total points are so high, they’re expected to stomp both Mag and DB. And because they aren’t, their points are current dropping down by 60. Which is a lot, but not so much to bring their total score below Mags. On the flip side, DB can be losing but if they keep it close, they’d be doing better than what was expected of them, so their points might move up by 40 or so. Which would put them ahead of Mag. So, as you can see, we’re put in this really weird situation atm where unless we totally decimate either DB or Yaks, Mag will still most likely be the one to be dropped down to T5 because of how absolutely EBay is destroying the opposition down there.

They’d chill at the same tier.
Unfortunately, due to the way the ratings work, Maguuma will actually be ranked below Ebay next week if the score continues as it is, [b]even if we win[b].
I find that so wacky. Imagine the winner of the match up getting knocked down a tier? It’s totally possible, but also mind boggling at the same time.
The keep you just gained like 10 mins ago? That keep? Cause logically there was a couple mesmers.
Its not 10 minutes ago because we have 2 people doing the upgrading stuff inside
and the wall is been upgraded and secondly we are upgrading workers and suddenly we
are being alert enemys already in lord room…
I dont think you can do that upgrade in 10 minute with 0 supply in the beginning and
most of us are busy recapping camp that being flipped all the time
It wasn’t a long time ago. 20 mins or so. It’s not like we’re talking hours here. You can clearly see in the pics that the keep has exactly zero upgrades finished on it. Not even workers.
Couple mesmers chilling in a keep for half an hour? That’s pretty much par the course.
The keep you just gained like 10 mins ago? That keep? Cause logically there was a couple mesmers.
Maguuma is officially the official role playing server.
You just made my head explode man, don’t post stuff like that late at night
New take on forum warfare. It’s quite cunning, I approve. I will sleep on it and see if I can expand this new strategy on a broader scale.
Mag 41,469 +265
Yaks 40,369 +215
DB 38,391 +215
So by your saying, Maguu is the strongest server now? Or are you just saying so far Maguu has the highest point? Because there is distinction.
Your former, and current, argument has been based entirely on the score.
(edited by Rhyis.7058)
I think you got me wrong. I mentioned that the fact YB focused on Ebay because it’s easier to re-gain lost points that way, as they were weakest. Same logic goes this week. But there are times when certain server is weak, no?
However, my point was to say that EB should have focused on Mag instead of Yaks, so that they would have gained more points overall. Same logic this time. Weakest server should focus on least stronger server to gain more points.
How is that not being consistent?
Because you should be telling DB to attack your own server.
I love this guy. He comes in every week trying to sell that no matter what’s happening, both the enemy servers should leave his servers borderland alone 24/7 and focus on each other instead.
It’d be clever if it wasn’t so obvious.
Of course it’s obvious because it’s the truth. I think everybody can see it. Don’t you?
Also, are you not agreeing with me? or, are you just trying to shoot down what I said no matter if it’s true? I guess some people just like to argue even though they are on the same page.
Last week you had the argument that the 2nd place team should focus on the weaker target 24/7. Well, guess what, the 2nd place team atm is Yaks. So by your own argument you should leave us powerful Mags to do our own thing right now, otherwise you’re only gimping your own strategy… But that’s not what you’re spewing this week. You’re coming out with the exact opposite strategy.
You’re walking propaganda my friend. And poorly constructed propaganda at that.
A Dragonbrand mesmer made me sad today.
No gates breached. Constant sweeps around the structure. Found later attempting to scale the southern cliff face again. Not cool whoever you were.
Happened tonight with Yaks in their BL too. People loving their east keep glitching lately. Probably the same goobers that have been doing it every week and proudly tell everybody they did so on these very forums.
This week’s match up will be a very close one. DB will stomp Mag for sure. In fact, DB rivals even YB’s force.
Speaking of EB, Mag is in the same shoe as EB was last week. If not careful, Mag will be pushed by DB to 3rd place. In the bigger picture, DB is a bigger threat to Mag than to YB. However, somehow I don’t think Mag see it that way, as they keep tunnel vision on YB.

Yeah it’s nice not having Ehmry Bay give all their Eternal points to the Yaks for a change.
That’s the biggest change really. EBay give up in a quick minute. No heart.
Not everybody is guardian.
Should probably level one up. They’re pretty OP and nobody complains about them.

The people that leave because of thieves make me laugh. Stop running around solo to PvE in a PvP zone and you’ll stop getting ganked. Problem solved.
Yeah I believe they’re from CD. Or at least, were on CD when they did the same stuff to us.
DB used to have a ridiculous night crew. I dunno what they’re about now though mind you.
So how ’bout that local sports team?
If you’re going to be WvWing anyway, might as well get some levels out of it.
At this exact moment, DB is moving up to T4 and EB is moving down to T5.
For those curious what’s going down. At this exact moment, DB is moving up to T4 and EBay is moving down to T5.
I’d be content with stick figures so long as I can see the enemy 100% of the time.
We’re dropping EBay down for ya’ll. DB can join us.
I actually find that to be significantly less of a problem on our server compared to others. Mag WvW is constantly a myriad of various guild tags.
Think that is mainly our biggest problem… As a server we probably enough players to compete with YB, but many players would rather PVE unless it is a guild event…
I don’t care so much about the score as much as I would like our server to get more organized and put on better shows for itself when we can. We do have a core of players with high levels of organization. But it’s about getting the more public players on the same page.
This is outright silly. People are going to do what they enjoy. If that happens to be PvE, more power to them.
I learned a long time ago long term RvR is only enjoyable to a small population of players in video games. Even people who say or think they want to do it often only do it in short bursts before they burn out. It takes a special kind of sperglord to this stuff for years on end.
