Guild Wars 2

We had a lot of fun on Dzag borderland today. But, like 15 minuts prior to Dzag golem rush on Bay, this happened. I really hope that it was a coincidence and it was only a moron in RoF doing this (it never happened to me before tho)

Also, is [Hot] guild new to Dzagonur? We fought them a lot today (some fights we won, more often we gave away lootbags ) but I don’t remember them from our previous matchups.

I bet it’s with guild buffs on, which got upscaled too

GH, your current result makes me sad You sentence us for another week in t7

I think there’s a day off from work in France IIRC what French member of my guild was saying

It was definitely NOT near siege deployment blocked area – most of siege I was talking about was gone nearby north gate of Hills, some other west of NW tower

I lost sup treb, 1-2 regular ones, 2 sup catas and couple rams this way

You know that if upgrade gets stuck by patch, you can make it resume if you talk to the workers?

Back on topic, I wanted to thank XxX for fingts in EB yesterday evening – you guys made this fun, we had to keep an eye on you all the time or you would tear our zerg to pieces :P

ALso to RoS zerg – that was the weirdest treb spot to hit Mendon’s I’ve ever seen, but I blame extended AC range for that :P

As far as I remember from last week matchup’s thread, they recently moved from Augury Rock.

Basically yes, but the Glicko rating system that anet is using has become a bit stale after few months, so in some tiers there isn’t much up/down movement.

If you look at the mos site that Xabu linked, it shows the current WvW result and predicted next matchup .

That depends on servers’ ratings. Each matchup results in change in rating points, depending on the results of 3 servers during this matchup and their previous ratings.
It might or might not change the colors of the servers – the rating changes are not always big enough to move server up/down in rating.

All this calculations happen once a week, during WvW reset (it’s every Friday, 18 GMT for EU, not sure about US exact time)

Iavra.8510:

Those carts are doing ouchies to my poor little asura mesmer…

I’m not really surprised :P Since last patch they have become Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything

MiLkZz.4789:

Only 1-2 came to RoS, we asked and they aren’t going to transfer to us. So don’t worry. Don’t think we are getting any new guilds in the near future (atleast I hope so).

Thanks for clearing that up

It was quite fun in EB this evening, aye
TBH Dzag were trebbing Anza from SM when you breached outer wall, so the original plan was to get in and take out the treb. By the time we got there, you already breached inner, so we got in and encountered empty lord room :P

The highlight of the evening tho, was putting couple arrow carts and a ram) between SM and green keep. It’s been a while since we had so many laughs in TS as when we were holding you back and then also dzag that pushed out of SM at our backs.

Thanks everyone for fun fights.

Too bad that RoS decided to end this and brought 6 golems to our bl to do some PvDooring which forced us to go there, while Dzag focused on our corner in EB.

Oh well, it’s 4:30, I better get some sleep.

By the way, I forgot to ask: RoS, is IDDQD going to transfer to you as well or did they already do so? I saw one of them in our BL yesterday.

Efreet.1895:

We didn’t abandon our homelands, they’ve been completely full but the guys there couldn’t handle all the surmia-“elite”-guilds. but hey, doesn’t really matter, as you say, we found a new home ;-)

In that case, I apologise, I was just pretty much annoyed with that zerg parked in our hills while your bl was all green.

I got a lot of loot, but only 1 rare

Also the despawning siege bug was hitting very hard :/ when we were hitting hills we managed to build like 4th or 5th ram, all the previous ones despawned, not to mention 2 superior nad like 3 regular catas at wall.

Anyway , we knew that if we tier up, we’re gonna get kicked hard, and both Dzag and RoS lived to our expectations :P too bad that Dzag is already going for 2nd place and abandon their bl in order to get ours…

I’m not really sure if it’s good for us tho :P

Personally I’d rather have another week of this matchup, which turned out to be way more balanced than I expected (Arborstone’s numbers, I’m looking at you), than to face stacked RoS again. Not like this is a reason for me to hold back and start losing points on purpose ofc.

It also would be fair to give GH a week off for RoS as they are having “fun” in t7 for 2 weeks already, while us and Dzag were taking 1 week turns

We will see how it turns out in 4,5h

Only thing I’m missing here is an active matchup thread, I loved the one during RoF-GH-Dzag matchups, when it wasn’t turning into mutual accusations.

Edit: I see Kriyank ninja’d before me with some similar thoughts :P

TaG had fun unplanned trip as well First there was some nice cooperation with PI during border defense. It was for me a first trip when I had Fraps ready, but the only fight I managed to record was one, where I die badly to overwhelming french force, so it’s gonna be put in a dakr room and forgotten.

After that we moved to EB (it was fisrt time i na long time to command there for me :P). We had couple of fierce and chaotic zerg battles with Arborstone, capped SM, while they were fighting WSR in lowlands and finished the evening by capping Overlook

Thanks to all RoF people who followed me and listened, it’s really more fun to play as commander, when you actually see people obeying your commands.

Oh, and I don’t think Zeal will be sad today, we were focusing Arborstone even when WSR were outmanned

See you all on battlefield

It’s not like RoF are taking a week off or something, we don’t want to tier up, but we’re doing our best. Arborstone can pull surprisingly big numbers (they won the reset with 40-50 man zerg on EACH borderland). If they put a bit more organization into these numbes and convinced people to bring more fully levelled/geared characters, they could actually win this matchup. If you take a look at pie chart at MOS, Arbor are ticking +285 atm and RoF morning crew was giving us a lot of points in GH-Dzagonur-RoF matchups

I think tZ were here since beginning of this matchup, I’ve seen them pretty often in both RoF and Arborstone BL

Really, WHAT?

We’ve been fighting Arborstone way more often than WSR during the weekend, as we considered them BIGGER threat (because of their numbers and aggressive playstyle, their zerg shows up on our BL whenever they have breathing space). I can’t say about EB, as I play and command on Borderlands, but generalising and accusing us of ALWAYS attacking weaker side, when we do quite the opposite is just sad.

I understand that you can be frustrated, but pls take few deep breaths and don’t force mods to close this thread.

Thank you Arborstone for awesome fights in your borderland yesterday evening. Our guild trip almost started with a disaster, when your zerg rushed into Vale while we were building our omega, fortunately we managed to push you back, finish it and hide in spawn.

I think the best part for most of us was holding bay, which was looking like swiss cheese, while beign outmanned – you almost got us (I think it was 2nd portal bomb) when you managed to get through and take out 2 of our ballistas.

See you on the battlefield

I must say I didn’t expect Arborstone to have THAT big numbers on reset – you guys had 40-50 man zerg on every borderland, good job on getting more people into WvW.

I’m not exactly sure what went wrong on RoF BL at the reset, as my guild was operating on Arborstone and WSR borderlands, and there was a queue to RoF all the time and still Arbor managed to hold 2/3 of RoF >.< good job.

The biggest WTF moment we had was when we came WSR hills, south outer gate was open, there was an Arborstone treb nearby west inner, yet not a single enemy was there :P I’m just curious what happened there. Too bad that we didn’t have a chance to hold hills later as both of you decided to attack it at the same time , WSR from north, Arborstone from south.

See you on the battlefield

ThomasKreshant.6572:

All that needs to happen now is for all Vizunah guilds to drop down from T1 to say to Ranik for some fun/non blobby fights and the circle will be complete.

Nonono, to t5? I say, they should move to Arborstone

drkn.3429:

Because of the new reset times, we’re moving the event’s start 30 minutes ahead. See you tomorrow at 7.30pm GMT+1 o/

19:30 GMT+1 will be half an hour after reset afaik

Not like it is Dzagonur’s fault – because RoS got stronger and is moving up, you will have always 1 server dropping from t7 (most likely RoF and Dzag will swap next week)

Sird.4536:

for a small fee of 1000g we will tell you everything

Hmm let me think… I’ll call you back in 10 years of not buying siege and upgrades

As for RoF well we wiped them over and over again until the blob came ^^

This basically translates into “we wiped rof randoms allot but when it was on even numbers we died”This might shock you, but riot basically is a blob on its own.

We had a fun evening fighting both GH and Ros guilds, allot of action and allot of nice fights.

I must admit that we had roughly twice the numbers of RiOT when we kicked them out of lake and hills yesterday evening, and they still put up a nice fight. You must remember tho, that it was a PUG group, with many upscaled guys, and few on TS – here I wanted to thank RoF puggies who were way more disciplined than usually and actually were listening to me.

After facing RiOT (who did really good, but were organized group on similar level like ones we were happened to face before, SOE comes to my mind), we met VcY. Sheesh, you guys hit us like a truck very well played. Out of curiosity, how many guardians do you run? You had really impressive stability uptime.

Before I put my commander hat on, 5 man TaG team had a lot of fun roaming in RoS bl, and nearly ninja’ing first dawn’s, then woodhaven (gj to RoS p/d thief who scouted us both times and was generally annoying). Also we had really fun 5v5 with Imp (we finally met with equal numbers) which was going for like 5 mins with both sides unable to kill anyone (there were some downed on both sides, but noone managed to stomp), until PRXM zerg rolled over us and interrupted the fight

It’s too bad that when we finally reached fairly balanced and definitely fun matchups in t7, it all gets messed up by transfers again But I guess we’ll have to see how strong is new Surmia and how the brackets will turn out (I’m guessing that next week RoF will swap places with Dzag)

And because these people don’t have a possibility to have something better in place where they live (yes, I’m one of them, sitting on 10Mb), they are to be disregarded and treated like worse kind of people? Also, if the local copper wires would be so much of an issue, we would have lags in EU servers as well. There will always be latency difference when server is either 800km or 8000km from you.

Lol, what has lag to do with download speed? It’s all about response time, connected also with PHYSICAL distance to the server.

Also, for people who actually contribute to their server in WvW, (buy siege and upgrades, defend stuff, not just midlessly zerg around) 60g might not be a piece of cake…

Nice vid as usually, no familiar faces this time tho :P And I love music choise (Sabaton)

RoS, could you pls slow down? :P It looks like we’re finally gonna jump over Dzag this week and you are really close behind us in rank points. I Don’t want to be red for 7th week

Yes, that’s correct

Too bad that the 2nd spot in current matchup will be most likely decided based on who are GH going to focus on but that’s how 3-way works.

On the other hand, I’d really like to get over Dzag in the ranking, being blue after 6 weeks of being red would be refreshing.

Oh, and GH, that waypoint in Dzag hills was cruel :P

TaG had a lot of fun during our today’s event, mostly in Dzag and RoF borderlands. We had 18 members in WvW at one point, which is our best number ever ^^. Some nice fights with ChVc (I think it ended up 1:1, first you got us at NW camp, we had our revenge in bay). Also some fights with PRXM and friends around Arah and Longview in RoF BL, but these were way more zergy (I think you wiped us twice until finally our zerg pushed in right moment :P)

Nice defense of your garrison Dzag, and your waypoint upgrade hit just in time :P

Cheers to everyone, cya on the battlefield

Drigan.7382:

Ahhh I would love to see some maps like Kaanai Canyon, Etnaran Keys, Saltspray Beach, Grenz, and Ancestral Lands!

But pleeease don’t make us stuck in Ancestral

I agree with the signals issue – commanders should be able to communicate with people not in voice comms easier. But special abilities/buffs given to commanders would result in lots of spare commanders in the map – people would put their icons on not for tactical reasons, but just to get buffs.

Azkadelia.2490:

I don’t want to start as blue again and again and again…

I will be more than happy to swap my red for your blue!

Aww, that’s me on that screenie, not in a very good shape :P
It was a nice hold in lord room, grats on that. Too bad that we had to cease the attack and go back to our border

I’m wondering if you are talking about my guild… as I don’t recall any guild [tag] in RoF. I If so, could you exactly tell, why do you think we suck? Maybe you will tell us what exactly we are doing wrong, as you seem to be really pro to judge guilds like this. I’m pretty sure you also proved this in a fair fight.

</sarcasm> for those that didnt get it

There is 1 huuuge difference between AB and WvW (aside from scale). In AB joining teams together and running in 1 mob was an easiest way to lose match
Also, if you were able to hold shrine vs. superior numbers, it gave your side really noticeable advantage.

Yes, I’m enjoying the fights as well For RoF, it’s the most even matchup… since mid JAnuary, when we fought you before you got Xaoc transfers ^^. Since then we had a lot of blowouts, both being dominating side and getting mauled.

It’s also worth noticing, that aside for few exceptions this forum thread is pretty much civil

The high population thing is based on overall server population, not WvW participation. Thing is, I’m sometimes wondering as well, where our high population is hiding ^.^
They’re definitely not in WvW, our orr temples are contested most of the time as well… only thing that seems to draw them seems to be lame dragon events :P

Seems like our thread got lost a bit

TaG had a lot of fun in MS BL after yesterday’s patch. As we couldn’t get into RoF, we decided to take Redlake and mess around – we had some awesome defenses there, despite having no walls :P And Dzag, we were really close to winning with MS zerg 2x our size in south camp, when you backstabbed us

Shout out to ~10 MS in EB tonight, mostly [Army] – you guys really wanted to get our ogrewatch! Cheers to hammer/gs warrior that I was fighting with, literally every time we clashed :P some nice fights there.

Too bad that after our all night long defense, MS capped all the stuff in the morning

silvershadez.8421:

Last week you called us out for only attacking your server, which wasn’t true.

nonono

We never said that you were only fighting our server. I’m pretty sure you had a lot of fights against MS last week and Drak recently in your BL. The thing that was really annoying us was that you were really often leaving your BL, when it was still half green only to try to ninja our hills or garrison when we were struggling green as well, while we were barely touching your BL. And that’s why the not touching your BL has changed this week.

So it looks like at least once Drakkar lost most of their upgrades :P as we took their hills and garrison ^^

I had to be at uni at 9:30, now I’m at work. And morning hours were always our weakest spot.
