Consider Dragonband. It fits a lot of what you are looking for, and needs more people willing to command the militia population.

We have a community VOIP, and a good solid PVE population for ya as well.

No matter what happens this season, DB will still be in Silver league next season. so no worries of having to be in Gold league any time soon.

Perhaps you could answer these questions as an opener for us:
How well would our small group of 15 fit into the WvW scene?
Do you think your server would support our crazy events? What kind of WvW events do you already have?
If you could change 1 thing about your server, what would it be?

1) Most of our wvw guilds field 15ish, so you would fit in. You wouldn’t be the biggest or smallest.
2) We have had some guilds do events on Thursdays when the match about over and decided, so I don’t think it would be a problem for you to do some either, and even do it on a different day.
3) I’d like to remove Tequatl from our server, and have no one ever mention it again. Or, have people in EBG forget Stonemist exists, pretend its not there, finally see that the SMC is a lie.

Lotsa fun in SBI BL tonight before I had to head out for work, great fights…. looking forward to the week!

A new map… that will create a copy of itself if put to an overflow situation.

I love it.

1. Commander functionality
2. Rewards
3. Larger WvW Maps

What the………….

Seems like a lot has changed in such a short amount of time

Welcome to what DB felt like a month ago as a lot of guilds xfered off to tier1 for the new leagues.

Silk.8302:

Hey all,

I am not entirely sure if this will be a fixed decision just yet, but I would like to have my options set before any moves are made. I would like to ask to find out which server has a decent night crew and can use some help during server peak times. No high tiers/No EU. Minor ques are ok e.g 15 mins or so.

Thank you guys in advance.

Consider Dragonbrand.

Our server has stabilized from the exodus of guilds to tier1.

Our NA will be competitive within the tier. We do have Oceanics, altho our SEA population is much higher. What we lack is a force able to hold what our SEA takes (and they take lots, I predict a lot of +400-500 ticks). and bridge the time between our SEA and our NA forces.

DB is a very low drama server. The guild who currently reside are the guilds who were here before we got bandwagoned are going no where. We are battle hardened and seasoned from many months in the trenches fighting the tier1 and tier2 blobs.

Wow. DB dosnt have a lot of confidence among people lol.

I wouldn’t count us out yet :P

BP and IOJ have been giving DB the best matchup we have had in a long time.

Fighting for months against tier1 megablobs wasn’t much fun. Looking forward to Silver League for the next few months where I don’t have to pray on Friday reset night that when I zone Anet doesn’t plop SOR/JQ/TC/BG on top of us for an amazingly crappy week of megablobs.

Its taken some adjusting for us dealing with the clear difference in tactics between T1/T2 and anything below that.

BP and IOJ have some amazingly great ninja groups, who if you get caught not looking, will flip half your map right from under you.

This is seomthing DB didn’t have to deal with in mega-blob tiers above. They didn’t ninja much. They blobbed something and if it was too hard… they’d just move their blob to something easier.

TL:DR: Great match BP and IOJ, hooray for Silver League!

These are a great bunch of people and have really helped Dragonbrand a lot in our wvw-scene. If you want a guild dedicated to WvW and gets work done, join these guys.

Great fights tonight in EBG there BP and IOJ. Hope everyone has a great week.

Dear Dragonbrand [WAR],

Would be really cool if you kept your necro’s from using Line of Sight tricks/hacks I watched 2 or 3 of your necro’s about 5 minutes ago outside North hills in TCBL throwing marks about 600 range inside the keep from outside the walls not only were you not killing anyone with them, it made you guys look all the more silly when you had to turn and run

With Regards,

A TC Necro who doesn’t need tricks to wreck your necros

Dear TC necro…. wear a bigger tin foil hat.

How does it count as a tin foil hat when I WATCH your necro’s cast marks that don’t get hit 600 range inside a keep? that’s not tin foil hat, though you simply saying that makes me just assume you’re trying to cover up lol. I’d have added photo’s…but sadly they disappeared to fast since your group ran away from the keep faster than an anorexic from a Baskin Robbins.

Troll harder.

Thanks.

[Crit] and [ING] run separately but we were in the same area sometimes. We’re in good relations with [Crit] which probably explains why we work well together when were in the same area. But for the most part, we’re in different areas and usually fight by ourselves.

We had less than than 15 at the end there when we fought you at Hyleks. We started with 25ish in the beginning of the night.

Hope to see you guys out there again.

Are you guys gonna be back in DBBL tomorrow? We miss fighting you like yesterday! Bring EA back over too!

TG and GOTL and…I forgot the third guild…was it WAR? It just wasn’t the same.

It really depends on the situation. Last night, our members, including me were already investing time in our towers/keep in EBG so we went there when the raid started.

What do you mean, “It just wasn’t the same.”?

Well…for some reason, they all disappeared like an hour before we finished our run, and we really got only one open field battle…unlike with you guys, where we kept getting fights the whole run on a single BL. We didn’t have to go to SoS and look for CNB to finish up on. =S

I’m guessing people are having to sleep early for school and midterms and work and stuff more, huh? sigh

I guess the only thing I can say to you is that some guilds look for fights, and some guilds look for empty towers.

[ING] enjoyed fighting with you guys in DBBL the night before but the communication between the map on TS3 was abysmal. I wasn’t too happy about it especially when we were against a map zerg, and neither was [Crit].

Anyway, I’m sorry you guys didn’t really get any fights, but at the same time, I can’t say I’m surprised.

They got fights enough from GOTL and WAR just fine Thomas. For the past week its been fun in DBBL for us in WAR and well as those in GOTL fighting ROCT. If ROCT doesn’t feel the same then /shrugs who cares.

No need to slam on other DB guilds Thomas, that’s pretty low. You have a problem with another guild on your server, take it up with them privately or on the DB website’s command section. DB doesn’t need the friction.

[ING] and [CRIT] are great guilds who work well together. DB needs that. DB doesn’t need factions who allow bitterness over some perceived wrong or slight to keep us from working together.

Kovu.7560:

I, for one hope Maguuma does really well in the gold league.
Any server to dethrone any T1 server is good enough for me.

Though I will miss our periodic matches with TC and FA I wouldn’t mind facing some of the lower tiered servers. I spent some time on IoJ and they were always quite jovial and fun to run with. NA time slot will be hella difficult for us even in silver league.

The servers in general need more balance and less wagons. People pick on Dragonbrand, yet we’re not the one with the war chest buying out guilds. Never have been.

Oh, a sidenote. Hail [EA], we’re DB’s sole surviving original release day guild. =D

~ Kovu

No [EA] is not the sole surviving original release day DB guild.

DB is not tanking anything on purpose.

DB falling is a combination of some of the biggest guilds imploding due to internal drama (2 of them) and splinter groups moving off server due to animosity perhaps. And also losing 2 guilds who only ever looked for zergbusting and open field fights who wanted a change of scenery in tier1… while they didn’t hardly ever take anything, the fact we had a 30man force busting enemy zergs helped the pugs/militia out a lot for them to take stuff. We also lost some SEA timezone guild to Tier1 as well. probably half to a bit more than half went to tier1 servers… 3 whole SEA guilds left, along with sizable amounts of other SEA guilds who left with them to join the SEA guilds who left.

Lastly, some more guilds (4 or 5) saw the upcoming leagues… and how the previously 3 mentioned points (guilds with drama imploding, and open field zergbusting guilds leaving, and a smaller SEA population) would make things too hard… they decided to go to tier1 for a “challenge” in the upcoming leagues … lol.

What you see now on DB is a few guilds who can all field about 15ish nightly. very few pugs/militia during the day and night and even fewer around to tag up and run them around. We have maybe 1 guild who can run 20-25 nightly.

That’s DB in its current state. No intentional tanking is happening. We just haven’t landed where we belong yet for what coverage and wvw population we have left.

Ya, Im sure we will get a chance to see how we fare in T4 shortly lol

True, a lot of people are having shellshock. A few new guilds have popped up and are building, and a few PVE guilds have shown interest in WvW. I just talked to a PVE guild today, who wishes to tag along with my guild 2 days a week. So that’s good to see.

Btw lotsa good fun fights in DBBL tonight. Good to see a lot of DB guilds getting in there and working hard to hold our BL. Had some fun on Mag BL for a while too. cya tomorrow.

Yes TFV/NNK are a lot smaller than they used to be. Plus a few of the other Asian timezone guilds who would beef up tfv/nnk’s numbers have also left to jq/sor/bg.

DB still hasn’t found its footing yet, not sure where we will land that will match up nice with our current coverage.

Good fights in DB BL guys… on behalf of [WAR] and [GOTL] we had a lot of fun fighting CD and FA tonight so far.

Signed… please add ability to group beyond 5 in WvW.

Would be great to have this as a feature for Commanders at certain ranks maybe? A way for commanders to spend their rank points in WvW.

BT has been stuck fighting the same servers for a long time, good on them for a change of scenery, sometimes its needed.

Looking to do some Guild vs Guild tonight… if any guilds on TC and FA are interested please PM me. We can do anything from 5v5 up to 25v25

Hickeroar.9734:

I just remember what happened when DB/Mag/TC faced off in T3, before DB got their transfers. It was a bit of a slaughter back then…

What I’d really like would be a nice 3-way split of population, skill, and coverage for T2. I hate that things swing around so wildly. It’d be nice to have a nice, stable tier to play in.

We would like that very much as well.

Matches where it’s anyone’s game are just wonderful.

Loving Tier2!

Looking forward to a fun matchup in tier2 against new opponents and alongside some new allies!

Warsworn [WAR] will be in EB throughout the week, will be fun.

We’d love to setup some GvG against TC and FA, small or large guilds we can do anything from 5v5 to 20v20 or more, we can talk about it and set it up, PM me.

If any MAG or YAK guilds wanna set up a GvG before reset, please PM me. We can do anything from 5v5 up to 25v25 or whatever in between.

edit: and someone said something about how rb and re are not Db. Well they are until they decide to leave.

I wanna second this. DB has always welcomed new guild with open arms, and they have always found themselves welcomed and immediately considered part of our community.

I don’t know wat all the fuzz is about, i think it’s great that you guys let [Re] lead the server to victory.

Oh I’m supposed to fall for the troll-bait, my bad.

[RE] can lead us where they want, I really don’t care.

Camaro Charr.2805:

For those of you reading this, I’m not sure how Noodles became the most “Famous” or “Infamous” person in GW2, but he is actually a very pleasant person. He is very calm and diplomatic. He is posting this thread because he works at community building not to establish a dictatorship. He had many guild members go with him to DB. You don’t have that many people paying for transfers if you are a “negative person.” When you hear him on team speak, you will have a much different impression.

I think a lot of people overlook this when trying to villanize a guy because their own experience with him was negative.

pulsecodesgnl.3470:

Curiousity strikes me, I know that for at least one of the guilds this is their second transfer in several weeks. Is DB concerned about these groups band-wagoning to another server again?

No we are not concerned.

If they leave, we keep doing what we already doing.

If they stay, then we keep doing what we already doing.

GuardianOMS.8067:

Oh, all this time I thought were talking about Kaineg WAR. There are way too many WAR guilds, can’t tell who belongs where. Can everyone with a WAR tags please agree to move to a single server so they can hug and kiss?

Xirin.8593:

GuardianOMS.8067:

I’m still waiting for some pics of the muscles from the oceanic crew of DB. Show me those toned abs and biceps, pls.

Please. They don’t even lift~

Why lift when you can bust gates? Seems like an amazing core workout to me.

Oh that’s also us! We used to be on Kaineng when it was in tier8!!

Long as there is only one per server… otherwise no bueno.

While that may have been true by a margin of no more than +15 points DB did not have a foothold on EBG or MAG BL in our respective areas. In fact your Zerg kept running into the dredge or towards anzalias because you were afraid to engage us.

I remember holding Quentin Lake against zerg after zerg of MAG’s. from 8:30 to around 9:30 EST last night. 2 walls down, plus the front gate and you guys were still dispensing loot bags and not getting any where near across the bridge to the lords room. Quentin Lake is in MAG’s 1/3’rd of the EB map btw.

I wasn’t on from 8-9:15 EST (NA). I had to run an errand so I cannot speak to that. You guys did treb QL & Durios from SM so I’m inclined to believe you. Well done then you guys have made strong holds inside QL in the past I will give you credit for that. Once you guys put ballistas and arrow carts in QL it’s tough to defeat y’all without portal bombing.

Oh that’s why we held it for an hour against a near constant zerg of MAG’s.

YOU had to take a break.

I shouldda known.

The fake WAR guild would never have held if the real one wasn’t taking a 1 hour break specifically during the exact one hour we held the keep farming MAG loot bags.

Thnxs, I was confused there for a bit.

MomentofWeakness.1246:

Now to rethread my message from 4/12 to this forum, even though it applies to all the weeks..

I dont agree that MAG’s worst map is EBG, when I am in EBG commanding we are able to hold and fortify our section as well as pressure YB & DB. I have stolen SM and adjacent towers numerous times from them and I have even gotten into DB’s keep more than once making them freakout and pull from their BL’s. While I can agree that overall we are severely lacking in EBG because of coverage and few known commanders going in there and leading, during those hours that I am commanding (as well as a very small number of other commanders, for example Xushin) we annihilate YB & DB. I have been told that as soon as I log we lose everything which is unfortunate but that is the nature of this matchup I suppose. Also, in EBG the YB & DB zergs suck at open field combat, they run from our zerg more than they engage us, while some may say who cares cause most puggies go to EBG, this applies for MAG as well so coordinate your puggies better! Almost all voice-communicating MAG players are in the BL. The only time YB & DB find success against us in EBG is when they hold a numbers advantage too great to overcome in almost all cases. I also find it comical that these two servers are so interconnected that they double team us constantly, infiltrate our voice communication software (mumble), and they still can’t dominate us in EBG until we all log off. Keep up the noob work and cheating.. YB & DB I love wiping your zergs and getting all the loot, your lack of skill in combat funds my commanding operations.

-Commander Zero Xcel, WäR Guild

P.S. the DB “WAR” guild is not impressive I hope you like getting destroyed by the real WäR Guild

Note: Granted I am the only constant EBG commander. When MAG is smashing you from 7-12 EST (NA) that’s me. I’ve went from recruit to colonel just from killing you two over and over.

I will see you tonight, looking forward to it..

Well isn’t MAG blessed to have YOU in EB!!! All hail the resident “big deal around here” !!

lol

We don’t care much if you find us impressive or not. We don’t have a fancy symbol in our abbreviation, so obviously you are better than us, duh!

Because Katniss, they are transferring not for what T3 offers… but for what they potentially see T2 offering by them being on DB when DB goes into T2.

On behalf of Warsworn [WAR], we welcome any new guilds to DB. DB’s community has always been very welcoming of newcomers, and no reason for that to change at any point now or in the future. Believe it or not, DB takes a very casual approach to WvW in that none of our big guilds are out pulling 12-hour shifts in WvW. Please don’t expect that of DB’s guild if you are arriving from T1, it might be a culture shock to see how laid back we are as a community heh. We also have near zero drama between our guilds, and the bigger guilds all pretty much work very well together and get along all the same.

Reset being 2 hours earlier was just dandy for our guild. Still able to field our 30man guild group pulling defence duty in our 1/3’rd of EB for most of the night. Was fun to ninja MAG’s garrison in EB that had a waypoint up heh. As was par for the course every reset night, was lotsa fun 3-way brawls in and around stonemist, with each server claiming it at one point or another. [WAR] had fun pulling defence duty, fighting off many many incursions by both Yaks and MAG’s zergs. Hats off to [RAM], [ILL] guilds you guys run some great smaller sized groups, was fun running into you last night many times!

Not really looking forward to T2. Even with the new xfers, we’ll most likely still ping pong back and forth between T2/T3 for a while nonetheless. So all the haters can be rest assured DB will be getting their share of a good whoopin’ real soon, lol.

Lotsa fun in EB tonight, some pretty wicked 3-way fights in SM and down near Jerrifers vs RAM guild.

Hmmm somethings amis here. EA keep your dirty server smearing tactics out of this Match.

No smearing here. Elephant Ambush [EA] – Has been on Dragonbrand since day 1 and was there for our fall down the tiers after the mass exodus to SoS. Dragonbrand has fought back up and have finally gotten a shot at SoS again after the demolition at their hands the same week we lost our WvW guilds.

There’s also an [EA] on Yak’s Bend apparently lol.

BITERS WILL BE EATEN.

Yeah, [EA], [LION] were among the very few day-1 guilds that stayed. It gives me infinite pleasure to kill SoS folks now

Look [Tsym], we didn’t miss you at all :p

[Duel]‘s still kickin’ from day 1 too

Scarto.3260:

Guild Fang from SoS who attacked Hills on DB BL and got wiped.
Do you check your map before you attack a structure?

We, Yaks, held Hills on Db’s BL and you seriously want to take Hills from us instead of attacking the X other targets on this map? Or how about EB?

You just now helped DB take back Hills, because we couldn’t repair fast enough after you wiped at hills.
*sigh

I wasn’t there, but it looks like a thanks is in order.

Thank you, [Fang]!

Warsworn was also a day one DB guild…. pay no attention to us leaving to tier8 for about 10 weeks and coming back… nope pay no attention :P

bumpitty bump bump

Ya its defintely been a fun matchup!

Really odd why they dont have a “joined on xxx date” and “last logged in” feature for the guild panel window

yes please we really need this

GW2 def needs more guild options… the current system is bland. no last login time to be able to see when the last login was for members … MOTD, guild mailing are great ideas

Thnxs for all the fun in DB BL tonight guys, was fun defending it tonight. Hats off to [KREW] always good time fighting alongside ya.

Bones.5762:

thenoobler.7540:

Warsworn was an old Kaineng guild from Tier8…. we are currently on Dragonbrand actually… we transfered off Kaineng a week before the huge alliances xferd onto Kaineng…. and are now fighting against Kaineng. lol.

Gotta miss them days, I tried to find you guys when we was matched up in the FA/DB/MAG matchup but i couldn’t find any war commanders, you guys don’t play much anymore?

Heya Bones, ya we do usually out as a group during NA primetime in our allotted BL we get assigned each week. Not on for the hours upon hours we used to tho lol which is great cause being on DB now compared to Kaineng back in Tier8 is alot more casual.

If u still on Fa, seems like we gunan get matched again next week so see ya out there on reset night :P

Hats off to Anet for listening to the community and NOT resetting the ratings and keep thing as is !

Hats off Habib for listening to the community man, great stuff!

Warsworn was an old Kaineng guild from Tier8…. we are currently on Dragonbrand actually… we transfered off Kaineng a week before the huge alliances xferd onto Kaineng…. and are now fighting against Kaineng. lol.

Yes can we please get this feature added soon, should have been in the game at launch kinda odd it wasnt there in the first plae, such a very basic feature of any guild system.
