Guild Wars 2

“hiding behind a zerg” could ostensibly be a response to absolutely anyone in WvW. Every server has its zerg. The fact that I play WvW makes me no more likely to “hide” behind a zerg than yourself, or anyone else playing this game.

That being said, if my zerg is better at WvW than your zerg (organization, tactics, etc.) then we will have a better score…

Go play some sPvP and kitten, or…

Crai more.

LOL the self pity in this thread amongst the EB players is so sad.

In a reasonably close 3rd place after coming out the gates strong for the first 24 hours? Having battles on 2 fronts vs 2 enemies on a 1v1v1 map schema?

Must be that they are getting double teamed!

OR

All 3 servers are doing their best to win vs the other 2, and you just happen to not be the best at it on the server.

Nah, couldn’t be that, you must just be getting picked on.

Crai more noobs.

I think that Roland is just upset that all the hard work they put in Friday night through Saturday was undone on Sunday.

I can say that on Eternal BG Sunday morning, we completely ignored Ehmery in favor of taking TC’s keep and eventually castle.

From what I can tell, we at Magu follow a pretty strict priority checklist.
1. Can we take something from the people in 1st (was EB until Saturday afternoon), and was TC from then on.
2. Is there an opportunity we can capitalize on? Happens regularly vs either TC or EB depending on which battleground we are on, and where the major conflicts are.

For example, if we are on EB borderlands, and we see there is a large fight at the inner gate on the keep on the opposite side, or garrison, you can bekittensure we will launch a strong offensive on the largest target we can get to from EITHER team. If this is on EB borderlands, its probably the closer keep or garrison depending on what we hold. If it is on TC borderlands the same applies to them.

If you always play on Ehmery borderlands, expect for us to take the opportunity to kitten your kitten up whenever you are engaged elsewhere.

TC does the same, except they like to group up and show up to the other teams fighting to wipe the remainder out and take kitten for themselves… Jerks. :P

LOL.

I have seen so many occasions of trying to take a keep and seeing EB hammering on the other doors as we are beating on the inner gate.

Hell, yesterday morning was the best example.
We (Mag) woke up to find TC holding 100% of eternal battleground, so we rally the forces as people woke up, took back all of our own home area, then instead of trying to seige SM from our side (which they had HEAVILY defended) we swept behind, took the TC keep and 2-3 other holdings and then seiged SM from the TC side. We get through both gates and as we started fighting the Castle lord, we see Ehmery Bay flooding through the other inner gate. We managed to draw TC back to retake their keep, and while they did both Mag and EB double seiged SM. We came out on top, but TC could easily read what happened as us teaming up on them (and if we had that would be fine because they were in the lead.) What really happened, we had a strategy to draw their forces out of SM so we could take it quickly while undefended. EB saw the attack we made into TC territory and smartly tried to capitalize on the opportunity. In the end we were faster, but kudos to you for trying to take advantage.

This happens regularly, and is smart tactics (adjusting to battlefield conditions).

If you end up on the receiving end of an opportunistic beatdown, see it for what it is and look for YOUR next opportunity.

If you are thinking that you should split your forces in half and just fight on the usual 2 fronts at once, and expect the other servers to do the same, you are doing it wrong and will continue to miss the opportunities that define WvW wins and progress.

You continue doing whatever you were doing before. i.e. PvE
