But I agree, it probably shouldn’t be allowed in WvW as awesome as it would be to see an entire zerg pop out of the ground at once.
Agreed. After watching the video of the drill in action, my first thought was ZERG BURROWING WOULD BE SO AWESOME! Then I realized it would probably be really obnoxious and exploitable after the novelty wears off.
They’ve also got cookies.
Tunneling would actually be a pretty cool option to the newly-buffed Hills death-trap.
It seems GoM is the new IoJ butttt at least nsp have enough to keep them occupied, for the most part in oceanic times.
At least prime time is a pretty even playing field.
I personally would like to see all of these “boss roaming groups” that DR seems to talk about. All I’ve been witness to so far is unorganized 4-12 man fights which are by all means not bad but I wanna see the big baddies moreThere’s a few things I’d like to say about this match up though… :
Not as much trash talk as I’d like & or I’m accustomed to
Needs more LOLUMAD/BAD
The most important…. GIFs and memes!!!!!!!! WHUR DEY AT SON!?I end my piece with a simple yet eloquent
GET@ME BADZ!!!!!!
Yeah, this match-up seems lighter on the roaming groups than what I was hoping for. Even a few of our old foes from NSP that we were looking forward to fighting again seem to be sitting in zergs more and roaming less. I did manage to get a good 1v1 with a Btsy and a 2v2 with those EDGE guys, but that’s about it. Everyone else seems eager to duck into guards or their zerg at the first sign of trouble.
Still hoping to catch Oozo’s crew out in the field and see how we stack up against them. And XOXO/SPCA… where y’at? I miss PAXA
Score update for your friend unable to play In. Japan please???
I swear I’ve spent my whole day trying to get hills back for GoM. Glad to see order restored :P, and hats off to Os and all the NSP who defended hills, you guys defended it really well for a really long time.
That screenshot is a lie. ARM solo’d hills.
To the two EDGE guardians on the south bridge in GoM borderlands… good fight!
Cheers, from the RH p/p thief and s/d ele.
Loving the even-ness of this matchup, and all the roaming squads i’ve been seeing. Anyway, been having a lot of fun, hope everyone else is too.
On a side note, thanks NSP for the laughs. ;D (Pic)
Some of our highest level tactics here on NSP. Even the most talented players/strategists can’t understand them; that’s how advanced we have gotten.
Those NSP pvdoor habits are hard to break.
I play since the beta for GoM but i never felt so ashamed before.
Not even when ppl called us of hackers, when some kitten actually did it, neither when we fell to the last tier.But HoD’s players that transfered to GoM Achieved something i’ve never seen before.
They went in the keep and builded 21 Alpha golems, yes you didn’t read wrong it was 21. (will wait for someone who got the SS to post here, i’m sure someone did)
AND 2 Omega golems.
That’s 31 gold JUST in the golems bluesprint.They left the Keep and attacked: Wild Creek Post.
And was about that. they managed to lose 16 golems IN ONE kittenING TOWER, WHEN SM had Outter walls down and normal gates.
That’s such a high level of inability, that i’m pretty sure they deserve a prize for that.
And one of these “highly skilled” commander asked why no one, after this ****, was following his order.
A real big salute to the players of “Zombie Land” that for a random reason have “WvW” tag but pls transfer back for HoD.
If i could i would trade all of you guys for 3 NPCs guards for our keep.
Not even funny.
Just about every time I’ve logged in this weekend, we’ve owned SM. Obviously, Zombieland is doing something right. Besides… this story is lacking some details. Was that tower upgraded? A fully fortified Wildcreek is an absolute nightmare to deal with. Was anyone else working on SM at the time? A golem rush on a tough tower while a separate group takes down a wall-less paper SM is a good play.
At any rate, calling them out on the forums is no good. Just send them a whisper if you don’t agree with a plan. They might be seeing something you don’t, or vice versa.
Not sure which guild(s) pulled this off. Going for the throat… lol.
yup, welcome to a DR match up.
our 10 players total, will not be able to do kitten late night.
feel free to clean all our stuffs
No worries. We raided the fridge and someone may or may not have upper-decked one of the bathrooms, but we kept things tidy otherwise. Can’t promise NSP will give it the same treatment once Rob logs in, though.
Not sure which guild(s) pulled this off. Going for the throat… lol.
Different gaming genre, same great message.
Really entertaining match-up so far! My favorite part was luring about 30 DR into a camp that some NSP were trying to take, then sitting back and watching the steamroll (sorry NSP… we love ya, but that kitten was funny).
Hopefully this match stays this intense once the weekend is over.
No drama? Someone pinch me!
I know right.
Also, holy kitten DR, you guys zerg HARD!!! It took all ZoS had to hold you guys off in EB tonight!
Aaaaand you ruined it. Good job.
Looks like this sever match up should be interesting. Had some great fights tonight and look forward to more. RH be on look out for me =P
Every time I see you, you’re running away.
stay classy GoM..
what? camping your spawn? phhh. that’s nothing. i’m surprised you didn’t get used to that while SF was in town. i should post the screenshot i took a few days ago of a whole chatbox full of dancing fergs. most i’ve ever seen at once.
I’ve found that the best way to deal with those pesky dancing fergs is to break out the fireworks when you wipe ’em.
Just one. Zombieland [WvW] from HoD. I haven’t heard of any other transfers.
Yay GoM! I missed you. If DR comes down it’s gonna be a hell of a fight… I’m shakin in my boots at the thought of fighting ADQQSty (No sarcasm intended).
Can’t wait.
I’m pretty stoked about seeing Splt, XOXO, SPCA, and tM again. Adding ADQQSty to the mix is going to be kitten fantastic.
I’d like a Chaos Gun, please!
And agreed… this tier is great. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Thanks for the awesome fights, ET/FC!
Don’t run away now, SF! All you’ve got to do is just stick around in T7 today so we can get the fight we want, then you’re free to carry on about your business.
@NSP: Ronny and TCMM have been working their kittens off for us. We’re glad to have them back.
Pretty much what everyone said so far. You get a good mix of all playstyles and can find a way to contribute no matter how you want to play. Less overall people means that there’s a bit more breathing room on each map, which opens the door for some unorthodox, but effective, tactics.
Oh and btw SF, you are only 11 points out of T6.
Keep SF in T7 just a little longer. They stole our spot, and we owe ’em a fight before they leave.
more like you guys kept our temporary chair warm for those months. Can’T steal what’S rightfully yours.
Sorry, not stolen. Donated to the less fortunate.

Too bad Agg couldn’t wait a few more weeks to transfer. I wanted to see PAXA complain about Agg, it was going to be soooooooooo funny.
Oh man. I’d need to dig up way more popcorn gifs.
So so many more popcorn gifs.
Okay, now I’m smiling we dodged the popcorn .gifs bullet.
I’ll stop having fun.
styx is mean
Lol, was [Agg] leaving known on ET before it happened? Or did they just up and run? I haven’t seen ET post on the matter, so I’m curious. What happened to ‘here to stay’ Aggression, get too boring :P?
who knows.. maybe as stated in a few posts earlier they were going after bay in gom bl and never took it. tried for 3+ hours.. perhaps bandito and kaar made them rage/quit/xfer
Well, I WAS on my up-level engi at the time. I’d imagine getting magnet-pulled out of your zerg by a lowbie and catching a pry-bar to the face would be pretty rage-inducing.
Too bad Agg couldn’t wait a few more weeks to transfer. I wanted to see PAXA complain about Agg, it was going to be soooooooooo funny.
Oh man. I’d need to dig up way more popcorn gifs.
… Double blinks Wut? I only really got to see them in action once too if this is true ._.
really.. only once.. I was there for that then when they assaulted bay. trebbing inner wall from vale. i had to go after we wiped them there the first time.. dont know if they managed to take bay or not afterwards. from the looks of it they had 20 – 25.. and based on the green dots we had 30 – 35.
Nope. They never got Bay that night. The entire battle took something like 3 hours, with the last half hour or so fought at inner. I don’t think they realized it, but they out-numbered us by a good bit towards the end. By then, Kaargoth’s group had thinned them out and we kept locking the gate behind them to keep their respawns away. I lost count of how many of their superior trebs we took down.
It was a good fight.
I wonder if we can get back to t7 and face SF at least 1 time before they move to t6.. would be fun.. and without the supermariobox taken our wvw’ers out.
If you are GoM (assuming), I would think you guys are moving up this week (HoD implosion)?
I was told by the Gods Of Glicko that post in T7 that SF would be here another week barring any drastic changes. We would love to have a new 1/3 to love on up here!
http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#NA
Looks like SF/IoJ are within 23 pts of each other. GoM/HoD are at about 21 pts difference. Probably one more week of the current match-ups before the kitten hits the fan.
Every time I read about this supposed FC/GoM tag-teaming, I QQ inside. Because GoM and ET have never, ever both run up FCBL at the same time, have they?
Oh. Wait.
There’s no tag-teaming. There’s no alliance. There’s no conspiracy. ET just has blood in the water and we’re all circling it at the moment. And, yeah, we lost our upgraded Bay and Garrison to GoM. But I’m okay with that when I get to wipe a whole, whole, whole bunch of ET.
see that’s the thing I don’t understand, you leave the door wide open for GoM to take Garrison and Bay but stop ET from taking 1 hill (seems like they left the door wide open for their garrison for you to take as well) im not saying their is an alliance going on but it sure does seem like it, I very rarely see GoM and FC hit each others BL but if they do its just 1 tower or camps.
In the last hour, I’ve defended the inner garrison gate on my borderland from Ferguson’s Crossing and right now we’ve taken Bay and Garrison on their homeland with big orange sword level zergs on both side.
well that’s your night crew you guys take everything :[
This was at like 10pm-11pm CST. Our night crew has yet to log-on and is probably enjoying lunch right about now
Yes I’m THE Basic mesmer lol j/k but yea I’m the only mesmer in our guild that is actively in wvw so that would be me.
You need to play your thief more. I miss hearing Quip. :/
Bandito sshhh, you’ve seen what transfers have done in the past, they just mess things up.
You’re right. Everyone should transfer to Maguuma instead. I hear they LOVE transfers!
Gate of Madness
Eredon Terrace
Fergusons crossing?And I guess the general server population of these ones. I am currently on Dragon Brand and finding smaller battles is becoming harder and harder so was wondering what it is like for other servers.
Gates of Madness: Population varies wildly depending on PvE events (darn Super Adventure Box!). Good oceanic crew. Decent-sized pug zergs, but most of the server’s focus is on coordinated small groups working on multiple targets across several maps at the same time.
Eredon Terrace: Population seems quite large for their Tier. They’ve got a few larger guilds (formerly from upper tiers) that are quite skilled at running a proper zergball and can flip a whole fortified map pretty quickly.
Ferguson’s Crossing: Somewhat lacking an identity at this point, in my opinion. They seem to learn very quickly and use a hybrid system of what’s being used against them. Pretty decent zergball strats and a few surprisingly good small man groups.
All three servers would be a good home to anyone considering a move. Trash talk is very minimal (see our match-up threads) and none of these servers go down without a hell of a fight. Also, there’s a wider array of effective strategies in lower population match-ups than in the upper tiers, so be prepared for tons of trickery and misdirection.
In case you missed it, the reset time changed again, it is now 9pm EST.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Separating-the-WvW-Reset-times-for-NA-and-EU
Yeah, after the weekend ends, we usually seem to step it up and suck less. It’s just impossible at times to get people to focus on doing things for the SERVER instead of themselves, plus hell, it seems that we on GoM are slushes over the weekend.
If you haven’t tried WvW hammered, you just haven’t lived! was the motto someone mentioned
Sheesh… that might’ve been me.
Besides, what do you expect from a server that’s got Aussies AND Cajuns?
GoM.
Your zergs are uncoordinated and full of zerkers. I watched 10 of your zerg earlier today chase one Ferg, allowing us to wipe the rest outside of Anz. Whilst I appreciate the loot bags, I know you can do better than this.
Hugs and kisses.
Welcome to GoM on the weekends. We tend to kind of mail it in for the first couple of days.
Score update for those of us stuck at work?
GOM – 237,325
FG – 184,272
ET – 181471(working from home today!)
Ooh, does that mean FC and ET will be switching colors today?
not by what http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#NA says. the only teir that will have any change is 7 our old friends HOD falling back to red.
ET and FC are only 4 points away from each other. I have a feeling the competition will be fierce this week.

I’m a thief who doesn’t use stealth, so obviously I wasn’t affected. Haven’t really noticed a drop-off in the number of other thief players, but I did notice a pretty big increase in confusion mesmers all of a sudden.
Agreed. Good duels tonight!
XOXO is as hard to impress as PAXA!
I was impressed with a KoM mesmer last night who wasn’t running away to safety when his HoD pugs scattered like roaches when 3 XOXO started downing them. He put up great fights all night and even when it got to be fairly zergy he and I always seemed to be having a 1v1 in the middle of 15-20 people. Was a lot of fun.
XOXO is as hard to impress as PAXA ’cept that one time when they liked that one guy!
GoM why must you taunt us so, we already miss you immensely.
There’s a small FC guild called [Yarr] that you guys would love. They like to cap the north camp, set up a treb, and bomb the citadel waypoint until people go out to fight them.
At this point i dont think anyone cares about the score but here we go.
There was a score update in that picture?
You think that one is hidden? Here is an old one to refresh our minds:
This is some GW2 softcore erotica. Which brings me back to an old gripe.
I demand that GW2 stop forcing its players to create hot ladies. There is total hot woman bias in its character creation system. I tried for an hour to create a really ugly “One Angry Sista” and failed miserably. GW2 is going to force girls into a false sense of hot avatar identity which may scar a generation of young GW2 fans. Seriously ANET stop corrupting the minds of todays youth!
Let there be fugly female avatars!
Bro have you looked at some of the female norn options??? Its like Nebraska in that piece….
Charr
LOL I think we were operating on the premise that you wouldn’t think Charr or Asura looked “hot” in any sense….
Or tree-people. But I stand corrected.
Oh man, what’s with her eyes?!

Another page, another Fight Club bump:
Event: FIGHT CLUB
When: THURSDAY April 18 around 8 P.M. East (8PM EDT, 5PM PDT)
Where: @ GoM Borderlands, behind the south camp (near the Mill).
Duration: Usually lasts for several hours, so no worries if you can only join 1-2hours later, you can probably still enjoy lots of fights.
What is Fightclub—-
People from the three servers get together in a friendly PvP contest, to do 1v1, 2v2, …, 5v5, Golem V Golem? etc. Sometimes it’s also just fun to watch and chat, not everyone will want to fight. This instills friendly conversation and grouping between all three servers as well as make new friends.All are invited Solo, entire Guilds, or friends, from all three servers!
Rules—-
1. No Spiking, only to down state
2. Both challengers bow to each other prior to the fight to tell each other when they are Ready
3. Behave, don’t start fights with spectators, etc. Have fun!
Help—-
If you’d like to help get this started on April 18, would be appreciated if just prior to the event (around 7:45 PM), some people from ET and FC would do a yell in LA, all the borderlands and EB on their servers.
Ok, lets please put this whole hacker thing to rest.
I’ve been PMing with Cross. (He is a genuinely nice guy who said he would stop posting about this and actually did, others are keeping this alive now.)
He did not see any hacking, but instead some Ranger/Engi high evasion builds from RH, and snow leopard form used by ART. Lets be honest, Snow Leopard form almost feels like hacking, zooming across the map stealthed. It is not unreasonable to mistake it for a hack.
But, there was no hacking and the situation has been cleared up.
Glad that’s all cleared up, and hopefully Cross picked up a few new tricks to try on his own builds. After fighting against groups like PAXA and getting cc’d to death the last few weeks, RH has gotten a lot better at avoiding/breaking out of stuff like guardian circles, etc. That said, I’m just glad I wasn’t in the group he saw… if he thought our ranger and engineer were cheating because they were so evasive, he would’ve kitten a brick trying to fight my thief.
Hey GoM since you are the new comers, I think that as a show of friendship. You should let us ET take over your keep because some of us badly need that PoI and Vista. It’s the last two things I need to get 100% map completion man.
You had your chance last week. We’re no longer new here.
This was posted in last week’s thread, but I figured it’s time for a reminder.
This is going down tomorrow night:

GoM is dominant because they are plain out classing us at the macro level. Overall better tactics and strategy. Their night capping crew is not the sole source of their success this week, just one aspect. They are fully upgrading, sieging, and actively defending their structures both in EB and their home BL. They also have solid small man teams constantly harassing ET/FC BL’s, etc… Straight forward solid play and I respect them, minus those chumps from GOML.
Oh Cmon… They kept saying we were winning because of Agg alone, so let’s say they are winning just because of nightcap.
Once the moms of the GoM night capping crew realize they have been sneaking on the computer past their 9PM bedtime things will equalize. Their poor grades on the cursive handwritting quizes will be a dead give away. Their moms may even ground them from the computer for a few weeks to get them back in line . Heck she may not even take them to the Barney Dinosaur the Musical for their birthday like she promised.
I shall notify their moms immediately.
If we want to even things out, GoM should send ET and FC 1/3 of their night crew each.
[This is meant as a joke. Please don’t yell at me for whining.]
I’m not sure how KWBH for FSU swap would even things out. They are one of the biggest guilds on ET. FC would get 100+ people and ET would get 20 commanders? Either way, I don’t see ET becoming completely imbalanced by an influx of 20 people even if they are highly skilled. If this actually happens/is true/aliens/government conspiracy.
No kan haz!
BUT I WANTS
