So, as many of you may have seen several of the smaller guilds were declared on mid nexus or during the final nexus. I for one am tired for the Mega Zerg Alliance ruining my day with their pathetic attempts at PvP during a lagfest. There is a very real effort to deny a number of guilds access to nexus for whatever reasons.

I have been thinking about this tom foolery for quite some time and there are only a couple of solutions I see working.

1.) We all transfer off to VoT where if you declare during nexus, the whole god damn server busts your face.

2.) We organise everyone to do the same as VoT and make nexus declarations a no no, this I see failing miserably due to the reach around the zerg alliances are giving each other daily.

3.) Form another alliance faction from various smaller guilds. I HATE THIS IDEA, I hate this idea because its basically giving these zergers what they want, more people to declare on mid nexus. I would much rather make it hard for them to ruin our nexus's.

(BIG EDIT: Removed bad idea)

I see these as our only options, fatwas has made attempts to engage the leaders with the power in a discussion around this previously, I am not interested in hearing from them at all. IF YOU ARE A GM OF A ZERG I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.

It is obvious they have no interest in the continued growth of this server and would much rather beat their chests and try their upmost to dominate the server, trying to push out the guilds they dont like. It is not paranoia if they really are out to get you.

If you have had enough of this garbage post your thoughts.

Personally i dont like lag infested pvp. This game simply cannot handle this type of PvP well in my opinion. However I wouldnt support simply trying to ruin others people's idea of fun.

The one good thing Nexus accomplishes is that it gathers A LOT of players. This being a PvP server ofcourse people are going to want to PvP especially when there are a lot of people around.

Is there a cooldown for declaring a GvG / resigning? Simply resign if you dont want it to happen. Another idea would be instead of trying to ruin their fun, redirect it? Talk to the GM's maybe set up a nexus race? Groups start at different nexus work progressively to each other then fight it out at which ever nexus they meet at?

My point being it would be better to try to organize PvP events around nexus time. If their goal is simply to shut you out of nexus, it will be clear in their response to your suggested PvP events.


One thing i think would be good might be a deathmatch tournament, we all see VoT doing this often, and jsut after nexus would probably be a great time to set one up here. Other ideas like a custom king of the hill type GvG, or a PvP gauntlet of sorts.

A Lot of fun and different PvP events can happen, but it hinges on cooperation from guilds. Something this post seems to be trying to avoid flat out.

Damnit, I have changed that sentence, it was a poor choice of words. Its about preventing smaller guilds from being pushed off nexus, or any guilds at all for that matter. That is the entire purpose of my Post.

Yes they have their fun zerging during nexus, so fixing the zerging during nexus would indeed limit their fun. It is a side effect not the actual goal.

Also as far as server events go, try and get the zergers to turn up.

If Illum, Proph, RP, Divine, Nagafen Terarists want to have their nexus zergs go for it but leave the rest of us out of it.

The attempted events will make it clear if they simply want to pvp or jsut want to be pricks. It requires some attempt to set up the events first though. If the latter is the case the only option i see is to simply not do nexus, or drop guild for nexus.

Dengar and Biju and a Dragonought and a number of other players have been attempting to get events going since launch.

Dengar can probably tell you best how that has worked out. From my perspective small guilds are over represented.

Nexus wars is not about PvP, its about denying access for specific guilds.

I don't think dropping guild just for the weekend would be very painful. Simply drop on Friday, rejoin on Monday. Just remember to leave at least 2 in the guild or you will lose your guild bank.

instead everyone then joining NOT5GUILDS, everyone stay out of guild and just make a custom chat channel.

Give up all GvG on the weekends in order to not get shut out of nexus? Only downside i see that doesn't have a work around.

Edit: Mentioned surrender scrolls, but alas, apparently you're forbidden from using them during Nexus.

I was once accused of forcing people to play the game my way, yet it seems I was never the one attempting to do that.

How this will affect "Nexus Wars" will be interesting. That is if they decide to to inculde that portion of the QoA update.

I dont care if you want to hear from me or not.... You posted in a public forum. We declared on Reckless because they take thier little 5 man group and gank our members when they have them our numbered and then run and hide when we try and return the favor. Hey these are great tactics for a small guild. If I only had a 5 man guild I would be wicked mean during the week like that. I would also understand my actions have consequences. Our guild allone declared on Reckless and no one helped. We also got alot of thanks given thier poor management of thier region.

Also you call us a Zerg right? The most we feild at anyone time is 25 as a guild. Yesterday when we took 5 to fight Crux they called in 20 or more Gallowglass (Thier ally who is not an ally). While we were fighting eachother so Gallowglass must no be a zerg right?

We go out of our way not to declare on guilds like High Five or Ravenwood as we understand they do not have 60's and look for no trouble.

However if your small guild spends all week acting like douches we will declare during a nexus when you have to fight. Don't like those tactics? go cry to enmasse they extablished the rules not any one guild. Also if you think VOT is the promised land go get you some.... You will be back like so many who left only to return.............

I'm from VoT.. and everyone knows how stupid it is to dec and there usually arent people deccing.. but the whole server doesn't dec on people who do.. it was just Bloodline (the exploiting brazilian guild)

But epeen, the zerg tactic guild with good computers and no hair on their chest, max their declarations at every nexus and to this point no one has done anything about it.

But I don't know why people wouldn't band together and do something like this. Honestly when one guild declares on someone during nexus efvery guild should instantly declare on them.. it's just stupid to allow something like that. IF you wan't to PVP do it right after the 2nd nexus and don't be a [filtered] about it. Everyone will still be around and want to fight the only excuse to declare DURING it is if you are a 15 year old loser that just wants to win GVGs that mean nothing by using superior numbers and making sure your enemy is weak by having the nexus debuff.

The counterargument to this every time is "o sorry for pvping its theo nly time you guys willcome out of safe zone" - It's stupid. People organize GVG battles all the time. They just want to troll people and be stupid. It's not PVP when everyone has 1 FPS and the server is about to crash.
