Wow… A spawn camper complaining about bad sportsmanship. Dude, come join FA or TC against your endless zerg of terrible players with huge buffs. Get spawn camped for about 2 hours trying to play the same game the enemy player paid for and see just how it feels. Wear the shoe on the other foot for a while before you say stupid things like this. Not only would I have spammed emotes at you, I would make it a point to find and kill specifically you every time possible.

Finally, you wouldn’t be so bored if you weren’t on the latest bandwagon server. With at least 7 guilds and 2 alliances from other higher tiered servers its easy for a person like you to come in here complaining about being bored and spawn camping the less populated or lower-tiered server. One thing I can say for all of us on TC – we aren’t bored. I have personally killed so many of you who are used to running with a huge group and slapping poor loners around that I can almost see the comical look on your face as you try to grasp how you were killed with 9 of your buddies standing around. Come see Colbane the Guardian anytime in our borderlands – bring five of your friends you will need them.

Been on Blackgate for 2 months, through several winning and losing weeks, and the crazyness @ the start with the 1 day thing. I wouldn’t transfer to a winning server, and if i was sent to one, and you broke both my legs, i’d still crawl back to Blackgate. Ask any BG’er, Shaniquia Johnson is well known, even tho i’m a small guilder.
Thank you.

Does that make the rest of the garbage the guy posted that I responding to acceptable?

Arg! You BG are like roaches. We kill huge zergs of you and another pops up just a minute later. Not the same guys – totally different. Wave after wave. We have maybe one zerg, but you folks are everywhere. Its a matter of attrition, no matter how good our forces are if you just keep sending in the bodies we will eventually wear down.

Fix three things. Server transfers, Orb Buff, and repair bills.

No its not fun. I doubt I’ll be playing much longer unless they fix it.

I believe Odinzu does that (I found his name to be cool… Odin + Sun Zu = Odinzu). His guild is EP (Everything Purple). They are some of TC’s best players. They have at least two commanders I’ve played with. Both of them were very tactically gifted. Perhaps one of them was Odinzu’s alt. Not sure. They both displayed a solid knowledge of military tactics and are one of the reasons we do well on EB.

Being a commander is as easy as paying some gold. Being a good commander is freaking hard. There is a lot of quick thinking to be done. Good communication skills are a must. In my opinion, there should be at LEAST two commanders on every map. We don’t always have this, and sometimes we don’t have any. I won’t say any names, but some of them clearly purchased the tag and put it on just to be important. A commander must always communicate with his troops. Or pass his commands down through a communications channel. Without this you have no command and control structure and the battle is lost.

I think the orb should give bonuses, just not bonuses that allow them to dominate even more than they already do. My idea?

+% Magic Find increased for each Orb
+% Karma for each Orb

That is all we need to make things more interesting for the winning team.

I’ve seen some ribbing from BG, but I’ve also seen a couple instances where a few people from ELTE paid respect to an enemy by kneeling after his death. I could tell they were respecting a good fight and a challenging enemy. I know there are a lot more d-bags that have no respect for anyone, including their own parents, that do these things. There are also some gaming vets out there that respect a good battle. Cheers to them.

Additionally, one thing TC can’t stomach at all is cheating. From another server or our own. If someone cheats expect the full wrath that we can muster in response. In this case, even cooperation with an enemy server who has also been the victim of exploiting.

The only way to change something is to show by example and attitude that it isn’t socially acceptable. Saying “this is just how it is just accept it” is the main reason ribbing, exploiting, and bad commanders get away with a lot of the things they get away with.

Finally, to continue claiming that you moved servers to have better competition is not being honest. Frankly, most of you move servers because you want to win. People these days don’t know how to win or lose gracefully. The vast majority of TC doesn’t give a rat’s kitten if we win or lose. Sure, it can be rather depressing to be shoved all the way back to our spawning grounds, and sometimes we just need to regroup and rethink, but TC will be back out there quickly and you will pay in blood. I’m in the for the long haul. I want to be part of a community that has rising legends. You can’t do that jumping around servers with no loyalty or thought for the community you chose to join to begin with. Telling TC to do the same thing is laughable. Most of us would rather lose like we are right now than consider moving. Winning at any cost is not acceptable. Just my opinion. I’m sure I’ll be beat down by the other side about it.

I look forward to meeting our enemies on the field tonight. /salute

I saw a lot of ELTE and Urge this weekend. A little too much of ELTE as they sacked the TC garrison a few times with good tactics. We learned a lot from them.

IC – Iron Chaos of TC
Specialty: Pest Control / Engineer Strike Team / Scouting
Story: We are DAOC vets who love Warhammer.

We are a VERY small specialty team. We have some good players who don’t give up no matter what the odds. You might have seen us in action last night in TC BL helping take back DE and Garrison. Other than Sceptus, you might have seen Colbane or Hern.

TC and FA are facing the remains of HoD and a tier-higher BG. That makes for a difficult game for us. For what its worth, don’t think that trouncing TC for one night will make us give up. On the contrary, you better bring your game all week long until the very last minute. We don’t care about the score, we just want to kick your kitten

Good luck to Dragonbrand.

@kefro except you weren’t moving around and stood there for 5 minutes in the same spot. Nice try though. I guess we’ll know after they check out my report.

The problem you have, Warlord.9074, is your mistaken opinion about TC. You discounted us from the beginning by your own admission because we weren’t a threat. You assumed we were the same server your buddies and you sealed out of all the borderlands during our first meeting while laughing and dancing on our corpses at the border waypoints. TC doesn’t care about being in first place. On the other hand, we are a bloodthirsty bunch of game-addicts who for the most part have honor and, much to our dismay, a little pride. Your server showed its colors during our first meeting, not just wiping us out, but being little kittens about it too. Now you come on here and tell us we weren’t a threat. Your mistake. We only get stronger as the week goes on. Not because of some phony night threat, but because our players have heart and aren’t going to transfer off at the first loss. We lose and we show up the next day. Big whoop. Please dine on our serving of humble pie.

We will be busy dancing and eating cake.

I know folks make fun of the fact we are the role-playing server, but the reality is we have some dedicated gamers and old-school players on this server. Winning or losing won’t change the fact that we will continue to fight on. That’s just our mentality. Thanks so much for recognizing our efforts. There is no doubt we have a lot to learn from both our opponents this week.

Being killed in 2 seconds at will… yes overpowered. Don’t say dodge.

Overpowered yes. Overpopulated yes.

Bring it on. Attua. I’m not going to give you a phony apology after your post. The fact is, TC is not a server full of cheaters and most of us don’t give a kitten if we win or lose. On the other hand, your silly generalization is completely understood as we were on the same side as you last week. I’m guessing its the same hacker that was on GoM last week. Personally, I welcome the challenge you offer. Just remember when your server has this happen to them totally out of their control that you shouldn’t even show your face here again.

EDIT: To the rest of CD, and DB, my profound apologies that this happened. We will take the brunt of your anger and drive for justice this week, but remember well when this happens to you.

They hacked again? Did it in our match last week too. Stealing three orbs in less than 10 minutes. Screenshots and video were taken. Even though it isn’t the rest of their population’s fault, they still benefit from this low-life. The only way to have justice right now is to get it yourself – exactly the way you did.

@barro – Pretty much the same thoughts from borderlands. DB shows up now and then, but nothing real impressive (which is why I find it funny the guy above, Goregash, is talking crap about easy points considering they are barely holding on to an 8k lead on us). Maybe we need to focus DB more for easy points…

Not crap talk. You said you were laying down arms against db and focusing on cd. That would mean easy points for db that can really use them.

Nice to see youve changed your mind and actually want to defend yourself

Laying down arms is completely different than “not focusing.” If you get in the way of our objectives we have no problem taking care of business. Perhaps it makes more sense for us to take action against your team on the other side of where CD is focusing?

Gofr.5794:

I, for one, welcome the challenge. CD has been needing a big morale boost due to the poor performance these past 2 weeks, so a hard earned victory is just what we need. Plus anything to make this whole week a challenge until the end is just fun for everyone. It’s a win-win really.

I still think our server has more potential than has been shown the past couple of weeks. Hopefully we learned and improved enough then to be able to better apply ourselves not only this week, but in all the coming weeks.

Your team has some talented players – not just zergs. I’ve had some great small battles with groups that I usually win more often than not. This time, however, has been a lot harder on our small group. You live and learn I guess.

We don’t like CD. Therefor, we will help DB wipe them out and engage DB as little as possible.

Thats cute :-) just know the feeling isnt mutal from DBs side of things

Easy point are easy

Shrug you folks aren’t even a threat. Our groups have no trouble wiping you out even outnumbered the way we are. So for now, we are going after the real threat. Don’t take it as a compliment.

I would love you folks to get your NA players. If I wasn’t such a loyal TC player your server would be my home. No kidding, I’ve had the most fun against SoS players since BWE1.

Is it really that big of a deal that you have to justify losing with these excuses?

Good luck to SoS. After facing them this week and having different time zone power, its only obvious they are a great server. I wish TC and SoS could be one, but it won’t happen. Loyalty seems to be a common trait with both our servers.

Seriously? You are claiming we are using culling (a problem with the game’s client for ALL players)? When I die due to invisible players I don’t come to the forums and blame the players. Go to the general board and complain about the client issues. This isn’t the same as a singular cheater flying around grabbing orbs in seconds. Wait, you aren’t from GoM are you? I mean, it would be pretty ironic if you were.

Sea of Sorrows is one of my favorite servers. If I wasn’t a die-hard TC member it would be my second choice. I’m totally serious. I remember such great fights in beta.

Hrmmm. I was seriously fighting RUN members just minutes ago. ;/ Make a choice and STICK with it guys.

Huh? I’m fighting against SoS right now with [RUN] as their tag. Please refrain from posting falsehoods just to cause confusion.

I’m not mad, I barely knew them. I’m just calling it as I see it.

I was trying to be nice and see you guys off to your new home in peace, but I have to call BS on some of these posts. Your guild basically came to our server a couple weeks ago with bought commanders who didn’t know jack about how things ran here. Then you got in a lot of arguments with other people and also caused problems on a server known for peace and cooperation. I ran with you guys and although your zerg managed to hold the north for hours, there was no real strategy involved like we see our commanders do every day. It was good fun, but you guys aren’t the reason our server was doing good. I watched the flame wars in our chat that came out of no where, especially last week, and always with a member from your guild who for some reason thought they could come and take over our server. It didn’t work and now you are moving on to greener pastures and a better chance to win.

I don’t really know any of you that well, and am in another alliance completely, but I never held that against you – until now. I don’t know if we are better off without you or not, and seriously wish you guys the best of luck. You just need to pick a kitten server and stick with it. No one respects people who jump around and if you ever played DAOC you would know that its not about winning every week – its about working as a team to accomplish something. Your behavior reminds me of modern day sports teams who need to buy their wins by buying up all the good players. A sad state of the world indeed. Have fun on your new home and good fortune.

TC player here. Good luck to you guys. I had fun roaming with your team. You provided me with some solid strategy and great advancement in levels. I don’t like to see good people leave. I try to stay out of the controversy in team chat and get along with everyone. There is one thing I would like to point out though. Every time you move just to win it kills your guild a little more. Sooner or later you will only be a faded copy of your old selves. There is something to be said in being loyal to your server community and building something from it. I’ll delete this game from my computer before I switch realms. TC for life.

Awww well look forward to fighting you then. Hopefully next week

I won’t be the one standing there waiting for your zerg, that’s for sure. I know what happens next.

What good is the portal if it can’t go over walls? A group escape spell? Mass invisibility does it already. Nerfs like this are bad for the game.

@Deya – trust me, I put work into getting those orbs FAIRLY. To literally see them fly away in seconds kitten me off. My post isn’t aimed at your whole server, but there are people reading these forums who know exactly who is doing this exploiting. My guess is they will leave the server like the chicken-dung they are before admitting it to the community. I will do whatever I can to make sure your server doesn’t have an unfair advantage with the orbs because of cheating. I have friends who won’t play WvW or are even talking about quitting the game. This problem was witnessed weeks ago and yet it remains. I feel bad for players like you who are suffering, on all sides of the fight. So please accept my apologies for coming off like a bloodthirsty jerk, but I have a very strong sense of fair play.

@Deya don’t whine about it.

@Deya this coming from the team in last place with 3 orbs in 10 minutes?

No judging going on here, as the match is already tainted. It just happens to be someone on your server that did it. On the other hand, it hurts the reputation of your server and makes it only good strategy to make your triple orb buff mean nothing. Notice our help to SoS getting the orb back to DB? Just the start.

@Chrysalis: Exposing the identity of the hacker would be a good start. I’m sure most of us would move on to business as usual. Until then, consider your server the cheater’s realm until due to the screenshots above.

I assure you, these aren’t mindless punches. Can you see the screenshots above? There will be no quarter until cheating is stopped.

I’m accusing SW. Until you expose the player your server is going to get its due.

We aren’t attacking SoS until every GoM is dead and their lands are wiped out. Server allies until the guilty party is exposed here.

This great mechanic is a waste most of the time. As soon as I DS, I’m knocked down, pushed back, rooted, snared, or stunned. This usually begins with one of the previously mentioned CC as anyone else on the enemy team that sees me blasts me with the next CC.

There isn’t much use for the skill if anyone with a bit of skill sees the necro use it. Not to mention the abilities on the DS bar aren’t even that great to begin with. I want to like this class, and I’ll keep playing it, but compared to just about any other class this one feels weak. Conditions can be cleared easily and often, the class lacks burst damage, and most of all the class lacks mobility (especially in DS as everything else is gone and I can be CC’ed to death before I can even switch out).

P.S. We also don’t xfer off our server to join the winning team. This is our home for better or worse.

Exactly my point. TC has small teams that have WvW skill, but we just don’t have overall organization. Generalizing that we don’t have individual skill or team skill because we are losing the big fight is pretty stupid. My guild runs small groups and westrike targets of opportunity – other groups, supply camps, and yes we join the zerg when needed. Our problem is we need commanders.

Love how you folks get your feelings all hurt when I mentioned skill. Your own players started the smack in this very thread, so talk to them if you don’t like it. Now, from my experience the last week or so, you guys aren’t anything special in small groups. My opinion is aimed squarely at your daytime/primetime US players. Your night crew have some serious individual skills. No excuse needs to be made about our population or yours. DB followed a plan and is victorious. Be proud, but be realistic. TC/MAG both have some skilled players and small teams. Our problem is a lack of organization – not skill.

Dragonbrand talking smack about individual skill? You guys stink without the zerg. When we skirmish you don’t impress.
