Same goes for any DLCs, you migth have bought on EU, youwill have to re-buy them on NA. (which is total BS imo...)

Sorry to disappoint, they've been playing in NA for a week now, it's not going to fix lag.

I sent ZoS a long, long e-mail about this exact issue before. I think it's ridiculous that all items purchased in the crown store have to be repurchased per server. I believe the response was along the lines of they keep it this way to prevent players from abusing the system. I tried to find the e-mail, but I couldn't. I remember sitting there pretty amazed at how far-fetched the excuse was. How are players going to abuse the vanity pets they spent real money on? XD

EDIT: Found the e-mail -

Hello Natasha.

I understand you are not happy about store crowns items not to be transferable form server to another server.
This restriction is unfortunately intended to avoid any possible black market.
You see me sorry if that restriction impacts on your game experience.

As I see you have a membership in place, I would suggest to use the crowns received from it each month to buy the items with a character from the European Server.

You might want as well make your feedback to the developers about such restrictions by providing your feedback typing /feedback from the chat window in game.

I remain at your service for any other enquiry.

I don't know what you mean by fixed. Maybe next patch makes that game style useless or whatever, but Banana Squad has some of the best European players amongst their ranks, so however the game changes, they will still pwn. don't count on a patch to make you suddenly good at PvP.

You think that meta sucks? Wait until the 2.3 Siege meta boss.

Having been in groups of varying sizes that have wiped you and (probably more often) been wiped by you I'd be interested to know how the US teams compare to the EU teams.

But as so much has been discussed about what is good/bad PvP play and grouping that as a member of one of the apparently offending guilds I'd be intrigued as to what qualifies as acceptable group play?

We run groups of anywhere between 2 and 24 depending on how many people want to play. On official nights we sometimes have 2 raids worth of people wanting to play. We are an active guild with active leaders, we don't have pre-requisites for joining except that you are willing to play with the guild, do your best and have a laugh doing it.

But should we only allow 12 people at once to play and send the rest off to PvE?

If we run with numbers we tend to split up and hit 2 or more objectives but we will come back into a larger group (zerg?) if we encounter a group of significantly larger size - is that acceptable?

Obviously we look to use coordinated combinations of movement, healing, damage and other abilities to best work as a group - is it skilful to do this when running as a team of 12 but zerging if you go higher? At what point do you become a zerg - 13? 16? 24? It's important to know these things...

How about non-affiliated alliance members who follow organised groups - can these be discounted from whatever number counts as a zerg?

Not going to start casting judgements here (by which you know I probably will) but there seem to be a lot of people who feel that the style they choose is the one true style of play and others can be judged less 'cool' - but IMO unless you are knowingly exploiting bugs in the game for unfair advantage then if you are having fun then what is the problem? Play in teams or 24, 12, 4 or go solo as your prefer but don't feel that any of those numbers gives you the right to claim to have the best style of play.

Personally if we have won our campaign against plenty of opposition, I have got a decent number of AP and we've had good battles then I am more than happy.

I like how you think you're some sort of authority on the matter rofl.

@SuraklinPrime No one wants you to not have fun playing the game. It's just a fact right now that more people = more lag. The larger your group gets, the larger the chance for lag regardless of how many enemies you're facing. At some point I feel it doesn't really matter because the server is going to *** the bed anyway, so just go for it. However, if it's relatively stable at the time then bringing more and more and more people is only going to start things going downhill. IMO there's no special number that qualifies something as a zerg, but you have to acknowledge when you outnumber your enemy and realize you're not doing anything special. Pugs are the only issue I have though. There's times you will win a fight against a larger group because you have overwhelming pug power, and there are times you'll lose because the pugs are absolutely worthless. You'll get called a zerg either way, but for either side to ignore the impact of the pugs around them and their enemies is stupid. An example would be: it's 24 vs a 12man group and 30 pugs. The 24 is outnumbered 2:1, but pugs don't stack, and the 24 will only ever be fighting 12 or so at a given time. I would consider that outnumbered for the 24, but it's very misleading and not indicative of what actually happened.

I mostly agree - although sometimes when you get groups of all 3 alliances coming to key objectives it just can't be avoided, you either try to fight through the lag or you surrender the objective to those who are more willing to do so.

I try never to kid myself I am great when we win against a smaller group

The pug thing is difficult to manage, they should have their fun too and really they are often just people who haven't found a guild yet - I once got fairly grumpy with the Bananas when meteor spam was a thing because meteors would rain down whenever we encountered them followed by lag and fall damage - as they pointed out they often had large groups of pugs on following them because they would know that there would be AP going and many/most of the meteors were from these others.

Often it is in the eye of the beholder... my talented team of skilled pvp players can be your steelnado spamming zergers.

Destroying whole EP and DC population today with our 12 man group was indeed really boring. 200k in 4 hours, I'm dieing of boredom.

Thanks for the AP!

I did not say I was an authority, just expressing my opinion; you are not either with such trompetting titles roflmao.

Well TBH we already achived everything possible on EU anyways, it's going to be very relaxing to not have to deal with jelous people like yourself that are filled with env. There's a good reason the majority of the EU PvP community is pretty crappy.. To many people like yourself.
