Does anyone else hope we get hit hard next week?

 I would like to see us set on our heels a bit. The current complete domination is boring. Plus I think a solid loss may shake loose a few of the fair weather guilds that have xferred to the server. I think all folks should be welcome here, don't get me wrong. However, some guilds are only coming here because of our track record.

No not hard but yes I would like a challenge. Last week was pretty awesome, this week less so. You do have a point about the fair weather guilds but I really don't know how many of those there are... I know some guilds were invited by Fog and some came looking for shorter queues... not sure they are fair weather.

There are a few fair weather guilds that joined but many of them are not. I was actually disappointed at launch when I heard that some of these guilds went to Jade Quarry and not Sanctum of Rall. I remember the good times we had i WAR even though I was very casual there, I actually played with both the Order and Destro players at one stage when Mythic shut down my Aussie server. It really doesn't matter to me whether we win or lose next week, as long as we continue to be the friendly server we grew to become. I have high hopes for the future of the server, if we win or lose next week I know it's going to be a big match. I do feel sorry for our US players that are going to have increased queues, but on the same token I'm excited to see more and more off peak players in WvW too. I personally need to pull back on my forum posts, I can imagine Fog face-palming if he's read some of my posts but I am very passionate about our server and I can be a stubborn sob when our server integrity is put into question, it's just who I am, I fight for what I believe in.

Im not exactly hoping for us to get sweeped in the next match ups. but i will say it will be dramaticly different if we do fall into new tiers. Expect every point, that includes sentry, quaggan, mercanary, spots EVERY point to be guarded or have a fast response team.

Doesn't a guild lose some not-insignificant bonus when they transfer servers? I would think that this might keep entire guilds from following the WvW train. Individuals, however, is a different story, and I would imagine that a fair number of the fair-weather transfers are individuals. Personally, I haven't noticed any ill effects of their presence thus far, so I guess if they decide to stay, then I say welcome, and if they don't, then I say see ya. I would be nice to have some more challenging opponents, though. It's not much fun playing whack-a-mole with supply camps.

The way it's going, it looks like our point gain is going to bump us into a different competitive bracket, so I suspect next week won't be such a steamroll. That's just as well - although this week's spread makes for some really easy WvWvW map completions, the events tend to get a little stale without real competition. I'm not sure if it was posted here already or not, but this website is doing some interesting matchup speculation for next week: http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#NA I'll be eager to see if those predictions hold true, because if so, we should be in for a tougher time.

The website is supposed to use the ranking formulas put out by Anet, so in theory, if the input data are correct, the results should be right. That being said, it looks like we might be moving into the third bracket.

Next week should be a pretty tough match as it appears we are indeed skipping a bracket up to tier 3 and be up against our old nemesi(ses? Can you have more than one nemesis?) Crystal Desert and Sea of Sorrow. I believe after our close match up last couple weeks we also had a few guilds/individuals that transferred to Rall because they wanted a close match-up. We may lose or have already lost some of them with the results this week. Also because we re the server with the highest total score this week we probably gained a few individuals who follow the best WvWvW server buffs and will leave early next week when the first steamroll becomes obvious. Overall I am looking forward to next week and hoping its a match much closer to last week than this one.

Sea of Sorrow's is an unofficial Oceanic server. They have a huge night time presence. It's going to really test our night time crew. Beyond that...jeesh. We dominated for one week. Every other week has been a loss or a tough grind it out match. I'm hoping for a good match, but I'm not quite ready to say I hope we get knocked back on our heels.

It's great that we moved up in ranks but at what cost? Considering we had hour long queues on weekends when Oceanic/US are on at the same time, this is only going to be compounded this weekend with 8 new guilds transferring and possible more that we don't know of.

I am very torn with influx of new guilds to the server. One one hand I am glad we have more guilds that have a WvW focus, on the other hand prime times ques are ridiculous. At least last night they were. My group ques within a minute of the match reset and most of remained in que for 2+ hours. That is uncalled for. Hopefully that calms down. For me, a player 99% focused on WvW, a 2 hour que is game breaking. Yes it is nice having the guilds around that we remember from previous games, but at what cost?

I had a 4 hour queue today from 545pm PDT till i finally got in at 945pm PDT.. after all that wait I only had an hour at most to play before I had to do all the usual weekend house chores. Queues after midnight PDT are around 15m at the most. I'm not expecting to be able to play in any trinity events anytime soon, but I'm lucky in that I have little queue in my peak time.

I said it before, and I'll say it again. This week is a win-win for SoR. If we win, then we win. If we lose, then we might also lose a lot of the fair-weather parasites that are eating our queues and learn from the loss.
