Mance.5640 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 PRX would have the most fun imho on #1 choice - SoS or #2 choice - FA. With some more guilds and learning of proper map play in T1, SoS could be competitive with BG in a little while. FA is kind of a collection of crusty/salty old wvwers, but makes for a fun wvw/community environment. That being said...you would be able to harvest the most tears and gain the most QQ if you helped SoS take out BG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBomber.3719 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 if you guys really want to help fix population balance issues dont tell them to go to SOS or FA. go to a server that needs NA like HoD or NSP. also dont forget about queues. SOS probably already queues 2-3 maps a night. FA probably queues 1-2. Could be wrong but just take that in consideration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like PRX has done that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CD is fun to fight with guilds like BAN and TAG. TW recently came back to the game on CD as well. Look for CD to make an impact in t2 or t1 esp if they pick up that EU guild from Mag. YB is a good fight, now that they've shed their seige-loving ways for the most part. TC and DB have numbers, but they're not ... that great. JQ has OnS/SF/Flux driving NA, but we're lacking solid off-hours coverage. Mag is mainly driven by their 'cloud' meaning a large group of players that can operate effectively without a commander. Has a few guilds who are a good fight in addition. I'm not really sure on the state of FA, we haven't seen them in a few weeks. T4 is.... a desolate wasteland. > > Servers get 'linked' every 2 months. So, the next relink is the end of February. Last relink, every server except BG and JQ received a link. They attempt to link servers so that everyone has generally around the same numbers, tho still less than fatty BG. Server populations are calculated now by player activity, instead of actual numbers of people on the server. > > If your goal is truly to get to number one, I'd say go back to SoS if you can work with TSYM, or CD if you want some great fights guilds backing you up. This game is in a very different state from when you guys left, but there's still some fun to be had. [TAG] is DH so we may lose them in next link [bAN]- just MEME raids [TW] is eu/early NA and we spend server meetings going over historical speeches. CD NA Prime is a giant circus with all the zerg busting rangers bringing out their animals to play and acrobatic zerg busting teefs pogo sticking into the enemy zerg. If you would like to know more about any server, most have their own discords. Drop by, have your nudes and dick pics ready for evaluation.

shiri.4257 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Still don't understand how t1 doesn't have the most fights/activity. FA/YB/SOS/MAG all drop down to t2-t3 and sometimes t4. Same pop of players but generates more activity outside of T1 according to wvwstats. Does T1 spend more time playing cat and mouse in the towers vs actually fighting? For crap sakes. TC has more activity than T1 and they've been gutted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third server usually takes the week off in T1, or at least after reset and after ticket cap is reached for the week, so the only activity is generally from the other 2 servers, if they're not doing the same. Also, shenanigans like this from the other night happen...two of us from #3 server went to take Necropolis away from #2 server on DBL, our own BL no less, and we popped one of #2's roamers near the tower while on catas. At this point, my partner confessed he's still running his raid build, as we almost lost to the one roamer, but we went back to hitting the tower with the cata. Funny thing, though, my partner casually mentioned that the roamer would probably report our position, and I jokingly commented that the outnumbered buff should then show up soon, and sure enough, it did! While we were still manning the cata and marveling at the coincidental timing of the outnumbered buff, #2 server's map blob pours out of the tower door near our cata and pounds the two of us into the ground...I laughed so hard that I was worthy of that much attention...thanks guys & gals! For 5 minutes of work, the one scout and the two of us died, but no tower changed hands, so there you go...not really much activity to report when stuff like that happens, but the point tick goes on and on, my friends.

dzeRnumbrd.6129 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 > > Nobody on JQ wants to go back to tier one. > That's a lie. They can't even if they want to. Most, not all, of their regular Commanders have bad attitude and are getting lesser and lesser followers. JQ knows they don't have the capability to return to T1. That doesn't mean we would return to T1 if we did have the capability. Many, many good guilds have transferred onto link servers so the quality of T2/T3/T4 as opponents is no longer that bad. Tiers don't really matter that much these days with link servers making tiers irrelevant - fights are fun across T2/T3/T4. Playing BG is never fun - they have the most boring play style - why would we want to go back T1 for that? Right now the fights are fun and the clear majority of JQ are happy in T2, T3 and T4.

You probably don't realise this but most servers are actively avoiding Tier 1 because we hate playing Blackgate (not because they're good, but because of their population). Not sure if you are a PPT or PPK guild but fights are actually better in T2, T3 and T4. I'd say come to JQ but we're always closed even though we're in T4.

Sure we are, as I'm wondering around the ghost town that is OCX. We used to have at least a guild running here. Easily had 40-50 running across the maps. Now I'm like one of three on home bl.
