phreeak.1023 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Same with Miller's Sund in T1. But Baruch is a really really bad sever.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caedmon.6798 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Always been the case with BB. Its not their problem,its just the time zone difference. If your server is able to get some oceanic guilds to cover the nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthan.5236 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Fun to fight against. They give a challenge in the evening when most other servers have low population. (Then again ... you need your own link to still get enough players online to play.) During night it really is bad yeah ... even the strong other EU servers are weak then. But I like to play evening and a bit early night. Then it is cool. They have lots of organized guilds and I prefer defensive play and as long as enough players on my server were online (Elona Reach + Underworld) ... it felt fun the last matchup. Looking forward to this week. The main problem I see though is: My link went from T3 to T1. Then To T3 again. (Now T2 ... maybe we can manage to stay in T2 against Baruch where the fight for 2nd might between them and us.) At the beginning of the link phase because of re-linking and transfers ... all of it is mixed up. There might be a super strong link (or Baruch without link) at the bottom pwning others and having to move up again ... until it get a bit balanced somehow. (Then next link phase and transfers will ruin it again + T5 always seems bad. :D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phreeak.1023 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Fighting them is really challenging. Keeping up while they are running away. Unless its 70 BBs vs 30. Then they are brave.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSeed.3528 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I mean, look at their corner at the moment, it's all red lol. I don't see them complaining about it, unless they do that in their language specific forum, I don't know. However what I do see is that it is like this a majority of the day for them until their special server time "nightly" ppt time which they try to take advantage of when available and I can see why. It's just the opposite for them and who they fight for differing times of the day, but I only see that this server can only "hold on" during those special hours. I used to hate fighting them until I realised this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vortigern.1987 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Because for many spanish people the working day ends at 7-8pm. It is very hard to play videogames when you are still on your way back to home. And once you are back, most people have to spend some time with cooking, eating, housework and their families before they have time to turn their computers on. That's the reason why they have so few people online during eu prime-time and get a huge influx of people after 10pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonNeonite.1048 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 When RTK was on BB, they had a lot more Coverage at night in the late evening or early morning in the EU, but they moved to underworld. Nowadays they have Guild Raids two hours before and after the usual EU prime time and any open tags, but besides that they aren't that active after 3-4am CET.

Google says offices and shops having normal 9 to 16 working hours and 40hrs weeks like the rest of Europe. Smells like an excuse for the south american karma train.

The famous siesta, whilst declining in the larger cities, is still a major part of the working day in Spain. Siesta is a mid-afternoon break, usually around three hours, which gives employees a break from work during the intense midday heat. Most people tend to go home for lunch, spend time with their family or relax during this time." source: https://businessculture.org/southern-europe/business-culture-in-spain/work-life-balance-in-spain/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, if you put all south american players on one server, then put them against any EU server, you'll get PPT trains and nothing else. It's better that they are mixed, so coverage is more even.

aspirine.6852 Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 Lol is this still going.. The only thing needed is either to move it to US but ffs close this server since it has more people than 2 full servers combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threather.9354 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 BB isn't just spanish speaking players, commanders and guilds these days. It is near perfect server for English ones too: - Main server (consistancy, we saw how strong GH/FoW got over being linked together for half a year+, and no "transfer spree" every 2 months) - Never linked - Never Full - High transfer cost: Less rubble and non commital toxic people. - Lot of guild groups and commanders - Scouts everywhere - Has weak groups also and "weak server" stigma so enemies are willing to tag up against them (lot of fights) - Overpopulated with strong coverage Yep. Might be time to moving our alts or mains there so we don't have to deal with all this relinking/FULL/transfer fiesta that should have been fixed ages ago. Every other server gets punished for getting stronger or more fun to play at by being made full and/or unlinked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pemberly.6305 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 https://sites.google.com/view/gw2-wvw-for-beginners/wvw-guild-claims Just wanted to add pictures of when servers are busy, as measured by flipping and claiming objectives. Data is from the most recent NA reset, to the update time listed at the top of the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
