BG hasn’t gained any other guilds besides ZD since monday. As the poster above stated, morale in BG is very high at the moment.

Folks, anyone who plays in NA timezone knows exactly what is happening here. SOR NA guilds are just not showing up whereas BG guilds are playing crazy overtime.

Where is WARD/ACO/RISE/TW/TYSM/GSCH? These guilds have not been out in force for a long time and has considerably weakened SOR NA.

I guess it is true what people say about SOR being a blackhole server

Ward and Aco are ONE, TW and RISE are out in force, TYSM is coming back december, GSCH is a pvx guild.
Oh, and the whole “BG only got one guild” thing, remember what happened when SoR got IRON? Or when Kaineng got WM? Or when JQ got MERC? One guild does make a huge difference, especially in a time zone that has no other guilded forces. There is what? A 2hr overlap when IRON and ZD both play?

New Playable Race and Lore

in Lore

Posted by: kyro.8162

kyro.8162

Apart from the Tengu, I don’t see Anet adding in another race. Any other races would cause more trouble for them.
-Armor, mainly Charrs have to deal with blatant clipping, yet Anet doesn’t even work to fix it
-Lore, they’d have to try to incorporate all the races to not make players feel left out while also dealing with existing lore. (has to avoid a major clash in lore) That’s why a mysterious race has a better chance. They can basically do anything they want.
-Customization, as others have already stated, races like the Largos lacks viable customization options and are heavily portrayed as assassins which limits the classes available.
-Animation, creatures like the Tengu are so humanlike that only a few alterations can make the Tengu fully fleshed. (already Tengu models in game) Reason Krait cannot be is because Krait are only designed to have mob like animation, ie slither attack etc. But with races, emotes need to be done. They’d have to be able to jump, dance, sit, and kneel in order to match the other races.
^ this can be done for the Krait, but it takes more work and time. (All of a Tengu’s animation can easily be reskined of that of a charr or human, only thing they’d need would be the dance)

Normally I would not respond to a straw man argument, but I really wanted to express my appreciation for those that have supported me. So there is one photo/video of me allegedly stuck in a wall w/o any name tag visible in said wall, right? And this is proof of a hack? I can’t even begin to count the times I have jumped/dodged/bannered/knocked into a supposedly solid structure or thru the map. I have also seen other players scale walls only to have them return to the ground five seconds later which was due to lag, but it would make for a problematic screenshot if taken at the right time. Of course none of this will matter to my detractors because it’s not convent for them to admit they made a mistake and missed finding me.

For the record I have never hacked into a keep that I have ported players into, period. Furthermore I don’t intend for this post to be an invite for an open dialogue as I will not respond to future posts. The “opinions” are now out there for ANET to decide.

P.S. BTW only one poster was accurate with my account name, could there be another player with a similar character name, special letters, etc?

P.P.S. ANET it would be appreciated if enemy to enemy tells could be globally turned off to prevent harassment.

./peace

If that mesmer from hills and garri are indeed you, then there are actually several videos. You claim you have accidentally glitched in plenty of times, and claim you never abused the glitch by porting people in, but (if that mesmer was you, probably wasn’t) there are videos of the mesmer in the act. Granted, these videos are removed pretty quickly, and the poster infracted as well, so you won’t see them pop on the forums anymore.
Besides, a claim doesn’t necessarily have to be true.
I NEVER died in GW2. Oh what? A screen shot shows I have 1,059 deaths? That cannot be true. The system must’ve glitched.

I’m looking for a new server to play for and will probably move to a T1 server … so a question: what do you think are SoR’s relative strengths compared to Blackgate? I’ve also not played against Blackgate and not played for Blackgate for a year as well, so I don’t know what it’s like, but the recruitment thread’s cited:

1) Enough of a population to defend EBG and home borderlands during off-peak hours;
2) Strong community (vague though – don’t know what is meant by “strong”);
3) Dedicated commanders that don’t tag down until a replacement is available;
4) (Many?) players who are happy to do things that earn them no rewards but are invaluable to the server, such as refresh siege, speed up Yaks, scout enemy zergs, etc;
5) Relatively little queue times, but there’s always something to do;
6) Strong PvE community that among others was the first to kill Teq.

Compared to BG, what does SoR do well?

Apologies for asking such a difficult question as well – but with transfers costing so much money, I need to be confident I’m making the right choice. Sorry!

1. Our off hour presence is relatively equal to that of BG
2. As for having a strong community, an example of it would be during the weekly meeting, anyone can chime in and they will be listened to.
3. We have plenty of commanders that won’t tag down until we notify the other forces of our departure. (sometimes like during EU, we have 2 major forces that map hop, so a commander won’t always be on the map)
4. A good amount of people have no problem doing reward-less jobs, and usually guilds assign scouts (they stay for 30 minutes and are then switched out)
5. In t1, there is always something to do, queue times are dependent on several factors.
-If we are in a blow out match, there will be insane queues on the maps that have any shred of action
-Resets usually have around 20-30 minute queues, unless you are queuing for EB
6. As for a pve community, it is probably just like any other server (excluding TC, JQ, and BG), there is always people on every map, but we aren’t the type that gets the first teq kill.
As for what does SoR do better than BG, I cannot say. (haven’t been on BG)
But as far as wvwvw goes, sometimes the commanders/guilds get a little goofy.
-FEAR, TW, and I think Choo had a bet to see which of them could wp their keep first, on a reset night.
-TW transferred to JQ on a blow off week and couldn’t come back to SoR till saturday, so FEAR placed a bounty on one of TW’s commanders, prize ended up being 150g?, which an IRON member won.
So I’d say we are a little less serious.

PvE

all servers have good pve communities
BG has the most hard core PvE community, evidence: world first kill in Teq

WvWvW

most organized goes to BG, evidence: similar queue time as SoR/JQ but over 700 people on TS at one time
longest T1 tier server goes to JQ
most hardcore server goes to SoR
Server with best SEA goes to JQ, Server with best NA EST goes to SoR, Server with best NA PST goes to BG, hard to tell who’s the best in EU now given the reshuffling, used to be SoR

Best server support roaming

Server with most role play

TC , but you didnt put them on the list

Most number of forum warriors

SoR wins this hands down, evidence: check the thread pages that involves SoR vs ones involve BG/JQ

Best server if you love GvG

SoR 1st
JQ and BG come at a tie at 2nd place

Most resilient server

Each server has their own unique strength
BG: dropped out of T1 3 times but came back each time
JQ: dropped to 3rd on T1 several times but came back, never dropped out of T1
SoR: Kept fighting for a long time as 3rd and finally took the win

Best server for casual gameplay

BG
TC 2nd
JQ and SoR tie for 3rd spot

Footnote: Difference between my list and Fuzzion’s is that mine is supported with some evidences while his is purely based on personal opinion:)

The problem with this is that BG has more roamers, meaning more team mates and less enemies. What is the point of roaming when lets say BG has 10 roamers on a map while SoR and JQ each have 3? So if you are SoR or JQ you have a chance of facing 13 different roamers, while BG only has the 6.

IMO, being on SoR, the reason many view SoR as a blob server is that during NA, SoR has a lot of guilds that pull 10-35 people. These guilds always run separately and will converge to take on what appears to be a exceedingly large group, then they will split up again. So the lack of roamers are mainly because most of these players are guilded and there are usually 2+ guilds on the map during NA prime.

Hel, HL, IRON (sometimes there is a sizable group for NA), FEAR, TW, Choo, LUN, ONE, Vig, PD, RISE, DIE are some of the guilds I see very often during NA. PD and Vig tend to pull around 10, while the other guilds vary.

As for the whole blobbing thing, my theory is that it is due to EU. During EU, there is usually 1 guild/organize force which causes the militia to gravitate towards them. This causes the force to grow to a blob size. Later, when NA groups start logging in, they see a rather large force on the map. So naturally these NA groups will consolidate to deal with the large force. But as this is basically the end of EU, those players will probably log within 30min-1hr, just enough time for the other servers’ NA to log in. Those other NA sees the large group and form their own blob to stop the others blob.

If this theory holds to be true than ofc SoR will be perceived as a blob server. SoR is made up of primarily eastern guilds, while a server like BG is primarily western guilds.
So NA BG player see SoR NA as a blob.
This would also probably go through to OCX and SEA as well. (BG had/has a very slightly larger ocx and had/has a larger SEA). <-probably changed with the transfers though

Anyways, any of the 3 t1 servers should suit your needs.

Transferring legendary to alts?

in Crafting

Posted by: kyro.8162

kyro.8162

You’d have to transmute it to a white weapon. Then that will make it account bound. Afterwards, you’d log onto your alt and use a Transmutation Splitter to split the legendary from the white. It will come out soulbound.

But will we still be able to choose the stats out of combat? And the stats themselves won’t be “legendary”. So in short, there’s no way to actually transfer the legendary itself to an alt. Only the skin.

Well that’s what I did with my Howler. And it still retains its’ legendary status.

A rant 6 paragraphs too long.

Congratulations on your dominating performance.

My previous post was responding to a delusional post, I would have remained silent otherwise.

Thanks, I’m rather happy with it. I’m not concerned with your perceptions, or editing suggestions, however. Anyone familiar with my rants should expect a minimum of six paragraphs. It’s party genetic and partly that I don’t bother writing for people who lack the patience or reading comprehension skills to understand me anyway.

I’m not sure what can be considered delusional about not being impressed by SoR. It’s a matter of perspective and opinion, there’s no facts to be deluded about. Unless PPT and coverage should be impressive (even that is an opinion, which many do not share). Personally, I’m impressed by the ability of the guilds I mentioned in my “rant” to call each other for backup. That takes coordination.

(there, 2 paragraphs, short enough now?) ;p

This is the second time I’ve seen TC claim that their NA is able to keep up with or outscore SoR’s during that prime time, and no matter how I look at the millennium history of the matches I don’t see it.

It happens almost every day around NA prime time. I can’t find an hourly breakdown function on MOS, if there is one, only history based on total score. Obviously SoR wins the coverage/ppt game, no contest there. When numbers are roughly equal, however, scores are also roughly equal. That is generally true of any server.

Simple Solution to The Bloodlust Controversy.

kyro.8162

Yes. I think it will encourage smaller group play. Sure you can zerg through all the points, but it only takes a short time to neutralize it. Roamers can easily back cap the zerg. It also leaves the zerg with a dilemma: secure at least 3 points and leave their keeps vulnerable, or focus on keeps and give the smaller server a stat boost.

How's your matchup this week?

Posted by: kyro.8162

kyro.8162

I think it is sort of nice to have a non competitive match up once in a while. It allows you to goof around without much penalty. ie. leeroying into a enemy zerg only to end up wiping your own group due to the rally from you, which snowballs into a lost keep. So I’m decently happy at my current match up. Though I would love going against bg/jq again.

Need ele build for WvW

Posted by: kyro.8162

kyro.8162

Well survivability really depends on the player. Positioning plays a huge factor in surviving as an ele. That said, run a highly defensive build that lacks on damage. You can still tag just as well (only need about 500 damage to get a tag) and still support the zerg. Once you feel you are good enough, shed the survivability and go for the damage.

Some people here are simply jealous its funny.

I m talking about me who has 250k++ kills and I don’t brag about it so really not jealous… just saying he’s definetely not second as myself I haven’t been second neither… If he would be second I would be 1.5 then haha ! And some people get it between 1st and me…
Morevover on another seeing how TW plays I doubt HARD that Indo really completed it and as long as no screen are provided it s not to be taken serious. You guys are getting troll hard.
Any other people than Sacrx will need at least 6more month to complete this title playing at least 18/24 per day everyday with like 90 to 100 kills per min. I would be ashame to be such big guild doing such big lie, AND getting kitten d in GvG against RG will never keep you in gw2 history as ubber guild…. When they kicked you they didn’t make you uber-skilled by any kind of magical skill transfers : you ll always be as bad, sorry but truth is not always nice. See you on the battlefield (TW = T1 quality loot bag provider)

Have you ever seen Sacrx Screens :

A french player.
Btw how did he get 51 completed points for this title????
This is weird because it looks like the screen post has been work cut/copy/paste on paint and only a FAKE LOL
Obvious when you zoom left hand corner
Btw like everyone else and like Sacrx and like Indo XX I haven’t completed this title yet and unless you provide an uncontested clue atm noone never achieved it. (playing 3500 hours I have only half and I tag plenty people who dies.)
This title has never been completed yet by ANYONE. Ask Anet they will just confirm it. Some people feel good liying the whole world haha…

Stop with the drama, no need for it, apart from the bit of emote spamming it’s been decent in-game.

TC at least can put the numbers up at times to get a zerg going, they just need a lot more training and better organisation to fight against a well battle oiled SoR.
You could do with more better WvW geared/traited players too and a LOT more situational awareness – don’t just stand there and let us cream right through or into you, it feels so bad
Hopefully you’ve some decent commanders willing to step up and if you do, listen to them and follow them.

Loving the opportunities for some smaller fights and 1v1’s. You’ve a lot of roamers running around on their own on TC O.o

I dunno why SoS were thrown in with us though, it seems very unfair on them. Not taking anything away from their players by saying that, it’s just fairly clear they don’t have enough interested WvW players on their server.

This post is exemplary of why SoR is known for being condescending.

Hate to break it to you but TC does it to other servers as well so you’re not really in a position to complain about it.

Not to the degree SoR does; don’t kid yourself.

This should be…interesting…

kyro.8162

meh, its a pure time based achievement

if it was 2.5k solo kills it would maybe mean something. as it is, it just means he spends a lot more time being another body in zergs than others…gratz? nah

He leads, not follows. Some nights it is the BL and some nights it is 20 TW farming zergs of 40+ all night. More BL leading around reset and guild leading the rest of the time.

Green is not your color my friend.

were they solo kills, they would mean something, depending on what he played, considering the imbalance of certain profs. but still, something. I could respect that.

but 250k kills, part time leading blobs, part time hunting down unorganized bads during guild raids? still unimpressed. go figure.

You do realize Sacrx also does the same “part time leading blobs, part time hunting down unorganized bads” right?

It could happen if you were fighting someone and say they ran away. Then when you were fighting another person, you could rally from the earlier person if they died when you got downed.
So that’s probably what happened. The thief was fighting someone and either the thief ran away or the other person ran away. Then he got rallied from said persons death largely in part to the fact he was downed for quite a bit of time.

Method to decide the Leagues

Posted by: kyro.8162

kyro.8162

The only way “skill” will matter is if you get points based on kills. Like if it is a relatively equal engagement, you get x amount of points. If you go like 20v50 and win you get 3x points, etc. Keeps, towers, and camps will still reward points. If I recall, a system like this is sort of in place already with dolyak kills. (But that is reversed as a group of 10 killing a dolyak rewards more than 1 guy killing a dolyak)

Lower Queue limits

in WvW

Posted by: kyro.8162

kyro.8162

Hey guys me again and more importantly hey Devon!, with the upcoming WVW changes there is going to be alot of disparity between populations especially from t1-t2 and below. This in no way will be fun for anyone from rank 6 and below to fight any of the t1 servers. What i’m suggesting is lowering queue limits by 30% in enemy bl’s and by 20% in your home bl to account for afkers etc.

Pro’s
-Will promote destacking so more gem sales for you Anet guys
-Will make it more skill based
-Will reduce the effects of “nightcapping”
-Will promote fights on more fronts
-will give lower tier servers a fighting chance
-Reduce the effects of Skill lag
Con’s
-some T1 will cry

just post your thoughts and comments below and peace out!

You do realize that this would cause more problems then solve?
Oh no! There is skill lag, let’s not fix it and just make a lower map population! Oh no, people are calling necros op, let’s nerf it to hell and not re balance everything because that is too hard and people are ok with us half assing things. yea….don’t want anet getting into this mentality.
Another thing. It is safe to say the top 6 servers has a huge portion of the wvwvw player base. Trying to force them to move is not a good idea. Sure, some will move, but the rest will quit. Wvwvw players are and have been getting the short end of the stick. If anet goes, move now, or be stuck in queue, many will quit.

League rewards, are they fair?

Posted by: kyro.8162

Well, from reading what anet has been saying about this, I think it is more like you get better loot for participating in wvwvw, and if your server wins, the people who did so and so in wvwvw will get so and so. Like say, you have to kill 5k people for the server reward to count. Kill 5k people, and you get a golden finisher if your server places first. Kill 5k people and you get a silver finisher if your server places second. etc.
At least that is what I interpret this as.

I am going to clarify everything, first off The GvG was at south camp with JQ and BG. So why does it matter if we hit bay? It was HzH’s practice night and we wanted a test. We actually went to SoRBL most of the time this week.

I do not think it is right to interrupt a GvG on any server, The purpose to a GvG is to improve for better fights right? Then why interrupt it? Why would you not want guilds to improve for more intense fights?

Anyway rant over keep the fights going and such

Best way to improve on fighting in wvwvw is to be able to expect the unexpected and adjust accordingly. So in a sense, it did help them improve. I mean, it’s not like wvwvw is consistently two forces interacting with one another.

This is what I’ve been gathering so far. I haven’t ever played in SEA time, so I may be wrong. BG’s sea force isn’t that huge, like SoR, they too have to bounce maps. The only difference is that when the BG sea force does bounce maps, they still have militia on the BL with no idea they did. Meaning every bl has a sizable force (in sea terms). SoR on the other hand doesn’t have that luxury. They have comparable number when it comes to a clash, but that’s just it.

Lets just say BL1 has 20 bg militia, BL2 has 10, BL 3 has 15, EB is pug central, dont worry about that. Then you have the MERC force, along with WM, MEOW, etc right? MERC isn’t HUGE to they point they can cap a bl by themselves, but when their forces move, say into BL1, they will be near map cap, or hit it. And once they are there, the 20 who were doing whatever will join them. This forces SoR to move to BL1 to defend or counter it.

Once SoR’s organized force moves, only a few scouts and roamers are left to defend that BL, while BG still has a sizable force. And the place the SoR force moves to will be defended by those BG still in that BL, giving more time for the BG organized force to react. While SoR has to react almost immediately and take multiple losses.

Now this is just a theory, so take it with a grain of salt.

Why so many changes to everything BUT wvw?

Fun fact. All the pve content (the living stories) that are currently out have never experienced the full 8 weeks of development time. Meaning the Queens Jullibee area was done in under 8 weeks. The map for that is quite big. Not to mention the zepher sky city thing. That was done in under 8 weeks as well. Look at it. All those leaps, teleports, and dashes. Yet it was for the most part, a very solid content update with very little bugs.

Do you actually have any kind of proof about this or are you only assuming stuff?
It is highly likely that the maps have been worked on for MONTHS before release.
It is also quite unfair to compare something that is not competitive and therefore don’t need exact balance to something that is based around PvP.

BAMM!
Watch the video. I think he mentions it in the one minute mark. “All of these teams usually have 4-5 weeks, maybe 6 weeks on a good release to build the content you would experience on the living world release”
A dev also made a post a while back stating something along the lines of “if you think this is good, wait until the teams gets a full 8 weeks.” I just couldn’t find it though and I’m not going to go through 10-15 pages to look for it.
Also keep in mind this was posted on July 2nd.
Bazzar of the Four Winds went live July 9th
Queens Jullibee came out a month later, or about 4 weeks. It is safe to assume the teams had some time prior to the announcement of July 2nd, but not that much more. So all of this content was created in under 8 weeks, with the Queens Jullibee nearing the 8 week mark.

They say they are working on wvwvw. They have been working on it since August. Or at least they should have. I mean every aspect of the game must be worked on right? So either they are neglecting wvwvw and lying; or they are completely understaffed/lazy. It’s been over 11 months since GW2 came out. What has been done for wvwvw?
They removed culling, something they placed in the game in the first place
They added character bound wvwvw masteries
They removed the orbs, but not the alters
They finally moved the JP out of EB, but the entrance is still in EB, not to mention the regular BL’s still have their own JP’s

What has been done for pve?
Southsun cove map, the size of which is probably just as large as a bl
3 Spvp maps
Temporary Halloween events
Southsun survival
Queens Jullabee
Sanctum sprint
Zypher map (temporary as well)
countless minor fixes to dungeons
consistent fixes to event chains
the molten factory
the aetherblade retreat
3 new jumping puzzles (Aetherblade one, Wintersday, and the Clock tower)

plus many more that I cannot think of off the top of my head. Wvwvw players haven’t gotten even a tenth of Anets attention.
Sure there was class balancing and what not, but it was for the spvp croud. Those updates on skills and traits was for spvp, it just happened to bleed into wvwvw as well, but with spvp in mind, not wvwvw.

DB is up 42.606 points at update. I expected a little more out of the “T1” servers, especially with Green getting a glitched tower for free.

That might have been our fault during EU on Sunday

http://i.imgur.com/Rs7hkOb.jpg

The lord was bannered as the tower was capped, leading to our lord being revived in an enemy tower w/ a buffed enemy claimer. Our lord lost the fight and when we recapped the tower the lord didn’t respawn – sorry about that, but it was completely unintentional.

Looks like a Niko Sharpclaw is out 20 bucks.

To all those crying OMG AC HACK! OMG EYEFINITY! etc. Please, try it for yourself before resorting to going on the forums and complaining.

Take a mental note of where they placed the ac, the exact spot. Then take another mental note of where the ac was shooting. I’m sure you guys can remember two spots. When everything dies down stand at the ac spot. Then swivel your camera around. If you can see a spot NEAR the place they were shooting at, then it is legit. And you learned a new spot to place an ac! How exciting!

If you cannot, then it is a little shady, and you may feel free to take it to anet about it. And if you must, go cry about it in the forums as well.

Ok so, in order of pics;

#1. First there was this…

#2. Then there was this…

#3. And then this…

#4. Nek minit.

In the third picture there was about 43ish SoR, at least that is what I counted. Remember to exclude the Sanctum of Rall Beasts, as those aren’t actual players. In your 4th picture there were 53ish dots on your minimap. Add in a reinforced keep in a situation where you had roughly equal numbers with SoR, and acs, I wouldn’t consider that a good job. More like you did your job at defending your keep, but nothing exceptional.

HAHA! He hakitten you for a few days. BG is very correct in saying he hit them for months. BG was the more challenging server and ATM likes great fights..

Well its been weeks, but anyway what you say above doesn’t make sense. If he wants great fights and BG is more challenging why has he concentrated on SOR for the past few weeks?

Key word. Was. “BG was the more challenging server”

I’d rather Anet NOT work on new maps and take those guys that are to finish the promises they made. Guild Halls anyone? Shooting range? Bar Brawl? Commander functions? Dueling? Orbs? That useless lake in the BLs? Those useless pve corners on the top of every bl?

Some of this stuff was advertised as part of the game before release, yet Anet doesn’t even mention it anymore. The others (except the useless pve corners) Anet said they would do months ago.

comparing a number of guilds is a pretty bad way to list them when i’m pretty sure some of those on both sides probably have less than 5 players on every night

Small guild are still important in wvwvw, so I decided to put them on there.

Ok with all the RG talk I would like to interject that KnT has had the opportunity to fight them not GVG but open field on many occasions, on both of their visits to NA tier 1. Just because you don’t GVG them doesn’t mean tha your a crap guild. Believe me we have fought them more times than some of you have GVGed them. Matter of fact I think they have a video of about the nastiest 3 way fight you’ll ever see in GW 2 between us RG and VOTF in the dredge tunnel in EB. But just because we don’t GVG doesn’t mean that we didn’t seek out fights with them.

And another thing , for all the SOR players saying BGs NA is weak, it may no be our strongest time slot, but we have plenty of guilds in that time that you have a ton of trouble facing. So yeah we has a strong oceanic group but I’m tired of you saying BGs NA is crap. If hats the case then the rest of SORs guilds that don’t play prime time NA are also, well terrible. Even though that’s not true, that’s what SOR would have you believe about BGs NA. Get over yourselves.

The real reason people are calling BGs NA weak is because they want BGs NA to try to prove them wrong.
BG
NA (11): KnT, ICOA, BT, RISE, GOF, ATAC, RIOT, RUIN, WORK, RESO, OnS
SoR
NA (11): TW, FEAR, Tsym, Choo, LUN, Hel, PLUM, BMS, CAPS, VNG, HL
Those are all the NA guilds I remember seeing out in force for a majority of the week. It may be outdated as I haven’t been online in a few weeks, but overall BG and SoR has comparable NA.

Prove them wrong by doing what? PS I don’t remember fighting a PLUM and BMS guild But ATAC merged with OnS Riot is havoc and Work is too.

PLUM, VNG, CAPS, BMS are all havoc as well. And prove that BGs NA isn’t comprised of weak, fickle, fair-weather players.
Oops, forgot about PD, another small guild of SoR.

Just a thought here on the whole RK vs IRON gvg. RG keeps saying they are needed as the organized force (which means defending against SoR’s). Keep in mind that RK is a small guild, meaning they cannot split push IRON, KISS, and the SoR militia in TS. One of these forces will be in EB squaring off against your pugs. The numbers will be relatively even there, meaning they can hold their ground.
I’m assuming all RK really does is face off against the other two forces not in EB. Now here is my idea. RK vs IRON in GvG. Do it. IRON will be busy GvGing you (not taking objectives). A lot of the SoR militia love this stuff and will watch, making that group more manageable by your own militia. You get a fair even fight AND keep whatever objectives in the BL you are in safe. Win-win.

T1 superstacking occurs because there is a T1 in the first place. To a large degree, it’s a chicken and the egg thing.

It’s certainly a theory. Let me ask you this: why does your guild not transfer off? What is so great about being a top 3 server that keeps you around? If it’s the 24/7 huge fights, server balance is not going to correct that because, brace yourself, then no matchups are going to have 24/7 huge fights.

Maybe, just maybe, people made friends with who’s on the server. Maybe they like working with certain guilds within the server. Maybe it cost 60g to transfer servers. Not including moving your guild and finding another server that has the same mindset as you. If you want people to move themselves to balance all the servers, brace yourself, people don’t like being forced from their homes.

I have more respect for guilds that play in wvw and help their own server doing their best than any guild involved in this GvsG jokes. Go spvp you ll have skills may be then. Its kind of lame to see guilds wasting time and place in wvw maps to satisfy their ego when 99% of them dont even know how to dodge at first place lol.
I would pick pugs and make their set up and beat any guild here with a pug group.
RG spanked you because you are BAD. In EU RG would never get 11-0 in gvg unless fighting anemic quaggans.

Are we allowed on the forums to call out a certain server for being able to hit BG’s Arrow Carts you guy should not be able to target with dragon tooth in EB.

Well, everything can be targeted. If the ac can hit outside the keep/tower, you can get a target on it. It’s a combination of holding control and moving to higher ground. If there is such a spot you cannot click on, you can still get the target. All one has to do is turn on auto target and press one near the general area of the cart. With some luck, they can get the target on the ac. Then it is a simple matter of calling a target for the rest of the eles in your group if there is any.

If by restarts, you mean resets, don’t come to SoR. On resets the queues are ridiculous. It would go for around two hours on every bl. Non-reset nights, on cst, we usually have queues on all maps, so I doubt SoR is for you. Your best bet is to stay on SoS. They are good people and are just getting shafted by rng.

We all know SoR has the population to compete in this time slot. So where’d they go? Probably the first time bg has ticked this high in the beginning of the week in euro time since the wonderful iron came over. So come out and fight.

More like, we all know BG has the population to compete in this time slot. So where were they before? They showed up in force last week, and are still showing in force.

Thanks for randomly searching up something called eyefinity.

Today when I was ripping apart yet another map zerg over a wall with an arrow cart, it was eyefinity.

I was using eyefinity.

Despite the nonstop barrage of hate and “reported” tells from FEAR, it was eyefinity.

Eyefinity, guys. The way of the future.

Are you saying youused eyefinity against FEAR and they whispered you telling you that they reported you?

If this is what you are saying Irony is thick here.

So it is ok for FEAR to creat an un-balance but as soon as it is turned on them they rush to the report button. hmmmm

Sounds more like a troll than anything else.
