Can’t say that I’m surprised, guilds that transfer when their server loses will always be guilds that transfer when their server loses.
So what’s the running WvW hopper damage now?
HoD ET IoJ CD SBI SoS and now KN?
Did I leave anyone out?
I can’t count the amount of times that people predicted BG would join that long list of servers. And they were wrong…. every single time. Haters gon’ hate.
Has SOR ever imploded? I don’t even want to think about how much it would suck if one or more of our wvw guilds transferred, hopefully all if not most of KN’s guilds stay put for T2’s sake. Last I checked the scores there seems pretty close =/
None of the servers in the current T1 have ever imploded since week long matches started, all 3 of our servers have been able to survive losses and keep going. Hence we are all here.
Well according to the T2 thread, WM is confirmed to BG. Should be an interesting matchup once they are over.
Anyone have anymore info on the rest of the KN guilds?
lol FOO is going to get their kitten kicked by the true master of asian/oceanic prime time zerging if your info in correct…
I think WM fields a lot less numbers than they used to. They’re probably still effective though.
There is no statement from WM…
Anyhow, unless they into PvD it would be a mistake on their part to move on BG especially if Foo becomes a non-factor. BG already has the strongest presence during that time slot.
Somebody already said it:
“If you are a NA guild, I suggest BG.
If you are a SEA guild, I suggest SoR.”
BG does not “already have the strongest presence during that timeslot”. Where have you been the past 4 weeks?
Also please let us buy non invader trinkets. Each tab of equipment with the different types of equipment should also sell trinkets like the invaders tab has them.
How about actually providing some arguments instead of just being sarcastic and aggressive all the time. Everytime somebody posts some actual facts, it’s being silently ignored by those claiming that confusion is op and there’s no counter.
Wow, why are you attacking me? I’m with you now that I can put out some confusion damage myself! All the people who have died to my confusion are superbads. I never realized this until I was able to apply confusion myself.
Like the Chumpion Slayer guardian in the clip below. I mean, dodge rolling when you have 5 stacks of confusion on you? LOL! What a stupid bad…
Some KN guilds (3 to 5) gonna transfert over BG or SoR very soon :p
Good to hear, BG had a lot of fun fighting the KN guilds when we were in T2 and would love to have you here. Also don’t believe the lies SoR is telling your guilds about BG to convince them to transfer to SoR. As you can see, BG is alive and well.
You should roll Guardian The grass is greener on this side.
lol I do have a guardian named Like a Charr who is like level 5 heh. I used to play him in spvp when I felt like being a point defender, haven’t played him in a bit. I should dust him off and level him up.
Blame Anet, there is far greater rewards in a zerg in cash, xp, karma, badges, etc. Sure sitting in a structure as lookout or running small havoc teams (assuming server coverage is relatively equal) increases your chances of winning the week, but so what? Let the weekly winner gain their +4pct gathering bonus while the zerg team reaps the far greater rewards.
Exactly and I don’t see anything on the horizon in this game to fix the issues I have with WvW or warriors. Oh well, I guess I’m going through the bitter breakup phase lol
This is stupid. Hammer warrior? I’m in tier 2 and I barely see a hammer warrior in a zerg. People will want more necros/mesmer/eles in their group for the combo field they can offer. Hammer warrior? I can take 3 of them with my hammer guard anyday.
Just for the sake of the topic, the most class I find atm is mesmer, thief and d/d eles. Engis gain a lot of popularity too, but it will never pass those 3 class that I mentioned.
Lol, sure you can.
But yeah, tier 2 is where I play. Most of our top commanders in TC have switched to hammer warriors and away from their previous guard/mesmer/thief mains. When commanders switch, others start to follow them.
I am specifically talking about zerg warfare here.
Edit: And the quality of the zergs in Tier 2 is nothing compared to tier 1. Tier 1 is full of super large zergs that will laugh at your hammer warriors as your frontlines are permanently blinded and chilled while being ranged DPS’d down, making hammer warriors free rallies for the enemy zerg.
FTFY. You’re on BG so your confusion is forgiven – BG actually has organized zergs that beat enemy forces with skill instead of piling numbers on. I xferred off a T1 server for just this reason.
That being said I may have missed the point of this thread, I thought we were talking about the recent surge in warrior popularity as a facet of zvz fighting, not the benefits or hindrances of stacking dozens of them. Two or three in a 20 man zerg is enough to wreak serious havoc – especially if they’re smart enough to dodge roll the blind from wells and hammer 3 immobilize the tornado ele/plague necro coming for them before doing their cc chains. Again, pretty sure RG has us all beat in the zergfighting department and they run no less than 3 hammer warriors even during gvgs.
I’d beg to differ there is a recent surge in warrior popularity in either wvw OR spvp. Most of the warriors I know don’t play much anymore (myself included) whether they were hardcore wvwers or spvp.
I agree zergs are too large in T1. Zergs in T1 are 60-80mans, not the 20man zergs of the lower tiers. Either way, this game has devolved into two zergs clashing and spamming 1 over and over which is probably why a lot of the 20man guilds barely have any activity anymore. You either have to assimilate into the borg or run around yak slapping, BORING.
I haven’t seen anything of note from RG since the veil nerf. Do they have any recent videos?
BTW what tier did you transfer to? I’ve been thinking a transfer to a lower tier may reinvigorate my interest in this game which has all but basically died since the guild I was in on BG died after its best commander left the game a couple months ago.
When you hear posters claim hammer warriors are amazing in large scale wvw you can tell they are just facerolling random pug zergs and aren’t fighting real competition.
I have found it to be true. The current meta is stacking necros because it is so effective. And 3-5 necros will totally make 10-15 hammer warriors ineffective. I’ve seen it first hand over and over. The hammer warriors become loot bag piñatas for the enemy zerg at that point.
I can’t wait to see how these zergs stacked with mostly hammer warriors fare when they fight actual organized zergs and not PUG t2 zergs. They will barely be able to move when they are condition bombed and perma chilled/perma blinded
dpvp is nothing more then the op classes asking to duel the weak 1v1 classes. I swear every dueling server is filled with faceroll ez mode specs wanting to “duel” the lowest tier classes.
To reverse this: sPvP is nothing more than team based op classes asking to kill the weak team based classes. I swear, every hotjoin/tPvP server is filled with faceroll ez mode specs wanting to “team up” with the lowest tier classes.
See what I did there? Dueling and team play are two different types of builds. All we’re asking is for Anet to formalize this type of play which we all indulge in informally anyway.
And you’d be exactly right. The pvp in this game is nothing more then a bunch of ppl rolling the usual OP specs.
I heard about the switch on TC to hammer warriors. Its silly, as in PiNK they justify it with “Warriors are more survivable in zerg fights than guardian”. Which is a flat out lie. Warriors can be an asset but, if you have too many in a zerg, watch them get steamrolled. Arguably, guardians have better CC for zergs, even if on longer CD’s because wards don’t have a limit of AoE. Anybody without stability will get caught in a ward, that could be 20 people at once. Staff+Hammer would just annoying as hell.
A balanced Zerg with hammer warriors, guardians and others could do wonders. Though to be frank, I prefer playing a GS zerker warrior in a pug unorganized zerg fights. If you pull out at the right time and reset and return, repeating this, you wont die, and 1 Whirlwind attack through their zerg downs most of the medium-light armor people. Lol, I mostly do this for fun rather than effectiveness personally though.
A zerg stacked with hammer warriors is a loot bag farm fest.
Is so easy, remove aoe cap … is not too hard to understand …
Did you just really link a screenshot from 5 months ago when turtles actually worked? I totally agree this game is blob wars (I’ve posted it many times), but come up with some better evidence then a turtle PvDooring from 5 months ago before warrior healing was nerfed and turtles still worked.
I know that screenshot is from 5 months ago because I was there when that screenshot was taken.
Necros are an integral part of zerg warfare which is what this game rewards. Constantly chilling, blinding and spreading conditions will absolutely wreck zergs since it is much easier to apply conditions then remove them.
dpvp is nothing more then the op classes asking to duel the weak 1v1 classes. I swear every dueling server is filled with faceroll ez mode specs wanting to “duel” the lowest tier classes.

I am on BG and have played in Tier 2 and Tier 1 exclusively. You must be talking about organized zerg fighting a zerg of randoms. In real zerg warfare, it only takes 3 necros to shut down 10 hammer warriors. I’ve played Hammer warrior since launch, I think I have an idea of what they are capable of.
Edit: And the quality of the zergs in Tier 2 is nothing compared to tier 1. Tier 1 is full of super organized zergs that will laugh at your hammer warriors as your frontlines are permanently blinded and chilled while being ranged DPS’d down, making hammer warriors free rallies for the enemy zerg.
Wars are fine you guys cry just cause you can’t insta spam 100 blades anymore. Rifle wars are super high dps and when matched with a guard on point are very hard to kill I think skill lv and understanding of game mechanics is the issue here. Or pull out a hammer and smash people to death you can use a ton of gear just stop being bad and you will be fine.
This is the type of PvE player Anet usually listens to unfortunately.
Eh whats up with this negative comments about EMP leaving JQ? I think some peoples fail to realize that EMP do this because EMP want to find a new challenge and most importantly is to give a more balanced match in T1 (something that alot of folks in T1 is kittening and whining all day)
Lets be honest here, if you were in absolute dominance and winning almost every week how many of you are willing to leave your server for the sake of competitive match? not many i believe. And im sure this is not easy decision and must be really hard for EMP to leave JQ their home server since beginning (tbh im very shock hearing EMP leaving JQ)
Goodluck on your new journey EMP, may the “the grape justice” always be with you!
EMPs move does nothing for the competition in T1. It just means SoR will be able to PvDoor even more during NA prime (which is why they are all happy about it) where they massively outnumber JQ and BG. Stop with this sanctimonious doing it for the competition kitten.
This is the state of wvw which is why so many of us have left after the patch.
This was the state before the patch, you just didnt see them all at once
I was referring to the patch just encouraging more zerging, not culling. We hoped for different but we know what happened. They couldn’t even give us new unique skins to work for in WvW. No thanks on grinding ranks.
3-6 Hammer Warriors with Leg Specialist and Fear Me can CC an entire Zerg on their own. Then you add soldier runes and Healing Shouts, and your group of warriors can faceroll WvW as long as they work together and don’t do anything stupid. It’s insane.
Welcome to the meta of 4 months ago when that stuff worked. You must not fight good opponents, 3-6 hammer warriors are so easy to shut down.
I’ve always played the warrior type class, it is what I enjoy (I much prefer dark paladins actually but for games that don’t have them I play warrior).
I do constantly ask myself why I continue to play the warrior in pvp though.
Kain is a good server as it is, all they need is few more players to be right back in the mix if things in tier 2. Please don’t try and wreck our matchup.
No one knows who this guy is. Probably some troll so I’d ignore it.
Maybe he just doesn’t want our Tier getting more unbalanced? TC already got a lot of transfers, we really don’t want Kain losing guilds, they are always fun to fight and as of right now there isn’t a server that could take their place.
I was referring to the OP, sorry. I’ll clarify that in the post.

I don’t understand why people are still QQing here. First you complain about being to weak, then they try to do something about it and the QQ starts again…
I feel like some people want to QQ instead of having their profession buffed.
The grass is greener on this side.
