Callous Philosophy [LaG]
† Good Old Days [GD]
Why do we start with this bs again? Every server would take a chance to get the easy points. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
We don’t let a an opportunity to be missed as well. If we could we would do the same.
We should adapt on their play style and try to build up a very good morning cap team after they went to bed
Nevertheless Baruch is in my opinion a very good server. It’s really fun to fight against them. I personally had never so much fun like this week before. No blob on Baruch /Deso side and there are actually really organized guilds like Scnd, BuLL, sIN, DsD, RED and many more! Rarely saw those guilds running with many pugs or at least in a blob.
I appreciate that really much.
One thing which is annoying. Baruch has weird play times :P
sIN ends their raids to early and BuLL starts too late.
Would like to fight you guys more often and hope to get you again in a matchup.
The fight north of longview was epic!
Seemed like every server ignored the matchup and the points at all for like 20 minutes and just enjoyed to fight! Keep it up
Will it be possible to use skills in ascalonian tranformation again in the future?
I know the changes are bound to the changes that you can’t use skills in Elixir S and Mist Form anymore but I feel like missing something since the patch. :/
It’s just a fun item which provides no advantage. I know it’s not in the TOP10 To-Do from the Devs but I hope to get an answer. ^^
And how about other colors? Just bring back the fun into WvW :P
Keep the good work up! It didn’t work as planned but I ahd hella fun!
Thanks for the evening. Waiting for the new matchup!
HAAHAHAHAHHA
TROLOLOLOLOLOL
Thanks Anet! Haven’t had such a funny reset ever! Keep this good work up!
srsly! im not trolling!
/signed
disappointed as always. Don’t know why I always get excited.
Tell us at least the true reasons. I bet you are currently working on another jp or dungeon.
I don’t like the fact that the new ranking system is partially based on random numbers. Tbh I didn’t understand the whole new ranking but I wish Anet would create a situation where people focus more on the weekly matchup points than on the ranking points. :/
With the new ranking system the mos.millenium site gets kinda useless because they don’t know the random number.
Maybe anyone can correct myself and explain it for dummies with EU servers? :P
I just can repeat what has been already said above. Of course there are guilds who attract attention in prime time due guild only raids like AI/UvL, Aegis, GL etc but the biggest contribution to our success comes mainly from our off time team. Since our first match in t1 (week 41) we apparently improved our off time team a lot. We got better in borderland hopping and ER focussed very much on points.
Kudos to my own server that we cancelled the karma train on Friday because of the reason: “We are in T1. We want Rank 1 EU! There is no space for karma train”.
And I don’t know that was a hazard or not. But yesterday our leader said “click through our raid. there are just 2 people who are not lvl 80”. Don’t know the mentality changed from ER changed at all but I like this change as well.
I have never expected that and it’s a good step forward.
So how do Elona feel about being up against 2 French servers?
2 servers with twink zergs of 70+ per map: our AC-production is on a yearly high and every WvWler on Elona will have a lot of MF gear/food/… for the next week.
Will Viz/Jade ally against you?
Who knows. But both have an open bill with us, and both are quite often not able to coordinate themselves, so it will not make any difference if they ally or not.
Or will they go for each another?
Not often, I guess, when they see each others zerg, they start running
.
Tune in next week to find out…
Our main goal for next week: every Elona-WvWler will get rich during the next week.
Placement is secondary, as it will be the last match of the current match-making system. We showed Vizu 2 weeks in a row in a fair 1vs1 “who plays how”, and we did the same with jade for quite a while longer
. And the nice thing on having both Jade & Vizu together: both together have 0 chance to turn that result for next week, if Elona will be place 3 end of next week, it will only be due to their double focus
We know Vizunah have been in T1 since the first day of the weekly WvW reset.
You had to fight against many problems like NA guilds (RUIN, PRX etc…) and super wvw guild servers (Blacktide, SFR etc…). You got hit hard but you showed that you always can stand up. And now you are struggling again.
Im sure you will overcome the problem. But please….
Let us celebrate our VICTORY!
I am really happy to see SFR improve during the week and getting some of their core guilds back. It would have been a shame if the people from a whole server would have been punished for the misstakes the dev s made.
looking forward to many more exiting battles.
greetings from kodash
What guilds have moved back to SFR? Heard ECL came back. Who else?
Interesting to see how arrogant servers become after doing well for 1 week
As usual.
As usual everyone generalize what one single guy said.
Btw shout outs to Meta and MN on EB. Nice flanking strategy. The cooperation worked out for you. It was a nice experience to fight 2 guilds at once. Keep it up.
We hoped for more entertaining fights on EB and at the beginning it was pretty laggy but this night turned out to a very amazing one! Much respect to the pug zerg of Desolation this night. You always showed the will to fight and you were really organised compared to other pug zergs.
Just out of curiosity… which guild did the leading pug leader belong to? (recognized a few guild tags everytime)
What happened with Vabbi? Has a guild of 10 men xferred to Vabbi and dominate the whole bracket? :P
Just kidding but I feel kinda happy for Vabbi. <3
gogogoogo
What is the player cap for the new map? Also around ~100 ?
Let’s end the road of a 100 pages long matchup. A new era will begin! Elona Inc!
Hi Deso’s, what’s your expectation/wishes for next week?
For example:
[ ] Leave T1 as fast as posssible?
[ ] Play a normal match?
[ ] Revenge on Viz?
[ ] Show the newcomer that you are still stronger?
[ ] ….Thanks for info (and if it has no other sense, every answer helps to fill the 100 pages
)
[X] Wait for Elona to beat Vizunah together!
Just kidding. Vizunah is op. They have to get nerfed.
Hey folks,
It seems we inadvertently outed (some of) our plans for WvW with the above linked page. While we are looking to extend World XP changes for WvW in a later content patch, it still needs some tweaking and therefore isn’t ready to be introduced in this one.
We can however officially let you know we are moving the jumping puzzle for EB into it’s own map, as this has been a much requested feature for our beloved siege fairing community.
Apologies for the hicup
For your beloved siege fairing community?
What about your hardcore WvW community??
We are coomplaining about too big zergs and hoped for more GUILD wars than SIEGE wars. There is a massive amount of people who wished bigger maps which actually make the zerging less attractive due lack of flexibility.
There are also many people wishing the orbs back for MONTHS!
srsly… you don’t take the hardcore part of WvW really serious.
I’m wondering why I still write the same things over and over again. You probably don’t even read my comment and rather delete it (HI FORUM MODERATOR).
I hope for more guild oriented implementations :/
It is really helpful. Just can support the idea to revert the changes :/
tbh I hoped Anet would add more of them :P
Our first GvG. Pretty inexperienced in those days but it was hella fun.

- GD [Elona Reach] vs KoA [Kodash] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQD59E3VHP4
Stop slacking Piken! Go check out our blobs in t2. T2 is hella fun cough
so Offski and Wrex stopped playing GW2 or is the core part of IRON still playing on another server? Such a pitty ANET is apparently messing up more and more and guilds leaving this game. :/
What is your Crit Chance and Crit Dmg unbuffed?
it’s a remarkable coincidence. The team speak servers from Kodash, Elona Reach and Vizunah (european) got ddos’d as well.
Things will change. Same story with Karma at the beginning of GW2. Just Karma Train until we recognize how useless it is in the end.
At the moment people just want to farm WXP and it will end until the majority see how mediocre it is for the WvW.
Of course it leads to more zerging but it also motivate people to cap supply camps.
We jsut fall back to the beginning of gw2 :P
ouh kitten…. SFR is still a medium server… I see the bandwagoners coming ^^
Anet shouldn’t allow people to join this server. :/ they are already superior in T1[EU].
Don’t missunderstand me. It’s great for many servers who are struggling because they lack population compared with other servers but Anet should also keep an eye over the ranking. There are many servers who have a big percentage of non-WvW players and a huge PvE player base. Maybe Anet should make it conditional on the WvW-Population and not on the over all population. I’m sure they have the statistics and the numbers ;D
Just think about it but I guess I get ignored and the kitten storm will start if it’s all already too late. who knows….I hope im wrong. ^^

sigh there are actually more Jade Sea people reading our german matchup thread
-_-
Cmon! show some love to the forum. ^^
OMG talk to us, Jade Sea. Y U NO LIKE FORUM?! :P
I will keep this alive until we have a nice chat.
Nice fights on Kodash garrison! took us a while to cap it but it after 40minutes we got it :P
We noticed you changed the mainzerg for the BSF zerg on Kodash BL at reset night. Unfortunately you were outmanned but I hope to fight you soon with equal numbers again! ^^
btw can anyone explain me what happened to LNM? You were really good on Arborstone. No offense but I want LNM in old shape =/
omg this thread is so dead…. Jade Sea don’t like the forum? ^^
Thanks to the french guild MOCA for the good fights on eternal battleground. 
Hope to see you more often.
@Jomg.9061 I don’t know….many people say “we” stopped playing because of the lags and rooting problems in germany but tbh I think we are facing very good servers!
Jade Sea: few very good guilds and you are following a very good strategy( points wise).
Kodash: wooow! since our last matchup you improved yourself very much!
we actually sometimes just focus to much on eternal battlegrounds and are in my opinion not as good as you regarding map changing to get more points from less undefended maps.
Kudos to the guild MOCA! Very nice fights and coordinated team play!
btw apparently France has vacation right? Your night crew is incredible. Reminds me of our own night crew when the children has vacation :P
@Rajnesh.4526 watch out for other guilds. Elona has a few pretty good guilds as well!
Imo they should entirely remove the ornage swords. The removal force servers to scout and improve the teamplay.
“You don’t want to scout for your server? Then we will lose the tower/keep.”
Of course it is easy for an entire zerg to roam unnoticed. But it is much easier to scout for like 30 minutes.
it is not my guild but one of my favourite videos ever! 1 Group defend one tower against the zerg. well played and well edited
FINALLY! Thanks Anet
I wish there would be no more orange swords but ok…25 is a good number.
This force finally servers to scout and hopefully improve the team play.
GvG is an awesome idea! We on Elona Reach have many guilds who need more experience against the well coordinated guilds like KAZ in an even fight.
Think we can learn much from you and I am really looking forward for GvG.
How about the other guilds? IRON,FG,GH etc…
Let the tournament begin! :P
@ultranawak.7183 I don’t want to start a flame war but I thought the same about Deso =/
btw…Elona Reach has 666 people from Canada which is a thai speaking hardcore guild.
http://www.gw2guilds.org/view-guild/8139
Stop saying Vizunah has a 500 man guild from Canada. Elona Reach has more.
(edited by suprNovae.5410)
http://www.grandcross.fr/coup-de-gueule/
could anyone translate and summarize it?
Most of Elona (me as well) are thinking that Vizunah is just slacking, because it is just impossible to drop to t2 in one single week. so we expect Vizunah is just taking a break and will faceroll next matchup again
(edited by suprNovae.5410)
I don’t think Vizunah has a much better coverage than other servers. I think their secret is that they start a karma train through all WVW maps and all pugs and Pve people join it. We on Elona could easily mess with Vizunah but due the fact that we lose like 50% of the pugs if it gets difficult we are always outnumbered at night.
In my opinion Vizunah is full of zombies. They never sleep and aer superior. but it’s get boring. Don’t blame them for playing wvw like it’s supposed to be.
(edited by suprNovae.5410)
@Dyno.9467 “he only time you attack Durios is when Viz are attacking Quntin Lake”
Why don’t you ettack Klovan when we attack Wildcreek??? You just haev attacked Ogrewatch and Sm. That’s all you do.
Vizunah is smart as kitten. If you go for SM they immedietely leave SM and attack Anza or Mendons. Deso is a very good server, but you sometimes lack of smartness in Eternal Battlegrounds.
““Exploring ways to help get more people playing WvW”
Hi Pugs! We have implemented a WvW-Daily!
this won’t help any server of the t1 and t2. this even complicate the culling and queue issue.
Anet srsly…In my opinion the WvW community is the biggest. I hope you have given the WvW mode the right priority ….
i jsut don’t get it….has the Deso team on Etnernal Battlegrounds ever attacked Klovan? The only thing they do is attacking SM and Ogrewatch. That’s it. I just don’t get why you don’t focus Vizunah. Vizunah is doin’ more and more points and we lose ranks with every day…
Deso is distracting us and we ahve to attack bravost/Durios. Im so tired of this.
You shouldn’t beat the enemy of your enemy! if you attack us you won’t lose less ranks. You ahve to attack Vizunah -________- all in all it’s pvp and you can do what you want.
btw I had a blast today on eternal battlegrounds! blocked Vizunah Waypoint for like 2 hours and even team up with a very nice deso party
Nothing could kill us (stealth ftw!). Even the main zerg! Trolling you Vizunah was an honour 
(edited a bit the screenshot. don’t bother.)
@Dayra.7405 not really…and what means best? Vizunah is apparently the best server. they sometimes have more people but they also coordinate at night better than us. Elona could easily get 50 people in the night but we are really spread out in wvw.
btw congratz SFR. you have made it..made it into T2….most of us really wanted to do the same like you but we just have quite a “few” more people who want to continue as usual and cap keeps/towers. Let’s see how Elona and Deso will do in T1. ^^
there is no point in blaming Vizunah. They are the best server. That’s it. It’s complettely dumb to blame server who nightcap like Vizunah.
1st thing: Vizunah do even in primetime mostly the most points
2nd thing: Is there any other server which would just stop capping when they see the enemies went off sleeping?
If SFR drop to t2 they will night cap as well.
If ER drop to t2 they will do the same.
just be quiet and don’t start flaming. Vizunah has mostly french people(2% switzerland,beglium, whatever ?) No night capping from NA guilds.
Don’t forget which server here had a guild from NA…
btw it’s kinda weird situation. SFR stopped capping and “help” us to cap towers, keeps etc… it will become close. it’s more like a fight for t2 than a fight for a higher rank lol….
sfr even defend our towers -______-
don’t know what is happening to vizunah… are you all sleeping??? if yes please keep doin’ this
that is how I can enjoy T1. This night is pretty even and there are liek 20-30 in wvw at all. same with sfr and vizunah i guess..
Hey im frmo Elona,
we will fight next matchup against Jade Sea and Kodash. What if we completely lose and will not a single point? will we be the the last on the ranking or the las on the the tier for the next matchup?
I have a dream…..
upcoming patch:
Vizunah will get nerfed.
Seems like Vizunah has many loyal players and the guilds and mainzergs has a very good communication. Everytime we kill WL or the mainzerg they gather up and steamrollin’ on eternal.
That is what our Server really need to learn. Communicate perfectly with each other. Unfortunately there are sometimes guilds who think very selfish and the main zerg just accept it instead solving the problem.
hey just out of curiosity, why you are struggling in T3??? Expected Piken to be the next Deso/SFR with many organized guilds but why you are struffling when you servers is full? Did many Pugs joined your server or what is the main problem? thanks in advance
So refreshing and enjoying to see organized guilds in enemy server. It is really fun to play in T1 against. Finally we face server with equal numbers.
Spent most of the time on Eternal Battlegrounds. Noticed VcY, NR (new guild from where?) on SFR and MN (from Arborstone right?).
Had a blast while defending Klovan which was full of holes :P
Sry but very baaaaaaaaaaaaaad idea. Zergs would get even bigger than they actually are.
That if a unskilled server would do if they cant win 1vs1 against another server even tough the server has queue? It would gather the whole wvw for a 500 men zerg and this would be ridiculous. btw you wouldn’t even take notice because of the culling you just see like 50 ^^
why there isn’t a topic about the matchup yet?! :P
Same matchup. New #1 and #2
Hope the flame has found it’s end in the old topic.
SFR as strong as always. You have very good guilds but I think Elona has some too.
Wish you all good luck and much fun in the first matchup of the new year!
