GvG report

Bad Manner vs Crit Happens

    Fellow Samael players!
    First of all, let me thank you for the word of encouragement we have received, both by emails, comments or in-game whispers! We are making Samael News for you and such feedback is really keeping us motivated to continue the work.
    This week we would like to present you another GvG report! Remember that actual numbers below may differ a bit from reality - the game is keeping track of limited timeframe, hence those results apply only to wars finished between 3rd of May, past 14:13 and 20th of May, 20:08.

    Until now, we witnessed 541 guild wars! There are new guilds on the scene, old ones are fighting on different fronts, alliances are being made to help achieve both PvP and political goals and we also can observe the beginning of 'dramas' concerning the guild versus guild wars.
    I have updated the statistics and below you can see the most active guilds in GvG area:

• Crimson Knights - 17 wars
• Bad Manner - 26 wars
• Darkness - 46 wars
• Divium Furor - 20 wars
• Elysium - 16 wars
• Innocent - 16 wars
• Insane - 22 wars
• Malectum - 23 wars
• Outer Heaven - 26 wars
• Outlaw - 18 wars
• Overpower - 28 wars
• Potato - 15 wars
• Serenity - 18 wars
• Tangra - 18 wars
• Titans - 19 wars
• Trollface - 24 wars
• Vehement - 18 wars 

Curleh Mustache vs Divium Furor

    Darkness is leading in the amount of wars - the biggest guild is the target of many. Others are not sleeping - as we can see Bad Manner, Outer Heaven and Overpower are not so far with almost 30 wars.
    Before commenting on the rankings below, please keep in mind what I have stated in the first paragraph.
    Ladies and gentlemen! The most successful guilds followed by those that are not performing that well on Samael server in the past two weeks are:


Highest Win-Loss ratio:

1. Bad Manner - 26
2. Outer Heaven, Innocent - 12
3. Vehement - 11
4. Overpower - 10
5. Hentai Pornstars, Evil League of Evil - 8
6. Divium Furor, The Crimson Eye - 6
7. Elin Dance Squad, Honor Bound, Malectum, Teravolence - 5

Lowest Win-Loss ratio:

1. Darkness - -28
2. White Lotus - -10
3. Crimson Knights, Insane - -9
   
4. Sisu - -6
   
5. Elysium, Force, Imperium, Trollface, Vikings of Midgard - -5

(numbers next to the name indicate amount of win-loss-surrender)

    Unfortunately, Darkness did not perform any better than last week - will we see some alliance including this guild to improve their score? Same goes for the other guilds with red numbers next to their name - we wish you guys more victories than defeats and hope to see some epic comebacks!
Now let's take a look on the other list. If you compare the ranking with the activity list you may notice a shocking fact - Bad Manner won all of their GvG wars, staying unbeatable untill now! Will this change in the nearest future? Their guerrila-style combat did its job so what kind of tactic will the other guilds use to bring them down from the number one position? Teravolence is debuting in GvG this week and they won all of their wars aswell but will they mantain this winning streak? Samael players surely know how to keep the emotions on the high level!
Another thing worth mentioning is the Evil League of Evil position - they did not take part in any GvG this week and they are still here.
Congratulations to the leaders of our ranking!

    As the heat of the battles is imense, not everyone can keep their cool. We had a dispute between Elin Dance Squad and Bad Manner. Little warriors were accused of rascism and cursing the Russian players after losing the war. The conflict escalated to the official forums, as we may read in the EDS thread concerning politics.
    We had some changes in the guilds on our server which include one of the bigger ones, Curleh Mustache - you can read about it in our Flash News section.

    Remember, if you are a witness of a GvG fight, you have some interesting info on some disputes, alliances - leave a comment, send a mail or poke one of us in-game. See you next week!

GvG report: numbers!

    Another week and a lot of guild wars going on! In this week report, we are going to have a look at some numbers! Unfortunately, the game is keeping only limited amount of guild versus guild results, so those numbers will apply only to wars started after 3rd of May, past 14:13 and finished before 13th of May, 20:00 . Please keep that in mind.

    During this time we have been spectators of 257 finished wars! The people of Samael surely are busy with fiercly fighting each other, we have only 9 surrenders. In all these wars exactly 173 guilds have participated. That is almost 1/3 of whole guilds on Samael, 674 for this moment. Let's remember that a lot of them are really small guilds, containing less than 10 members, so most of the bigger ones are actively participating in GvG activities.
    How about results of all those wars then? We have few very succesful guilds on the scene at the moment and few that are not performing... that well. First, let's mention the most active guilds during this period:

• Crimson Knights - 11 wars
• Darkness - 22 wars
• Elysium - 9 wars
• Evil League of Evil - 10 wars
• Insane - 10 wars
• Malectum - 10 wars
• Outer Heaven - 15 wars
• Outlaw - 14 wars
• Overpower - 10 wars
• Potato - 9 wars
• Sisu - 8 wars
• Titans - 9 wars
• Trollface - 10 wars
• Vehement - 11 wars
• Vikings of Midgard - 8 wars

    When it comes to Win-Loss ratio some of the guilds mentioned above are also included in the ranking below. We would like to present ranking of the most succesful guilds of this week, together with those that performed quite opposite (number next to the guild name means count of wins-losses-surrenders):

Highest Win-Loss ratio:

1. Vehement - 9
2. Evil League of Evil - 8
3. Outer Heaven ex aequo with Bad Manner - 7
4. Potato - 5
5. Elin Dance Squad, Hentai Pornstars, Outlaw - 4

Lowest Win-Loss ratio:

1. Darkness - -16
2. White Lotus - -6
3. Elysium, Insane, Valkyrie, Vikings of Midgard - -4
4. Crimson Knights, Sisu - -3

    On Darkness example, we can clearly see that numbers are not everything - it is apparently harder to organise such a big guild during so many wars. Although, recently they had their 2 first victories, aswell as 2 draws. We will wait and see if they will recover from this losing strike and maybe appear in the other ranking! Also congratulations to the leaders of our ranking!
Few of the wars made some of us at least smile. Evil League of Evil defeating Justice or battle between vikings from Vikings, Vikings of Midgar, Lost Vikings and Viking Raiders are one of those funny moments.
    Of course it could not do without some drama on our server during this week. Last time we had little espionage mission, now we were witnesses of a dispute started by a former member of Kollektivet and present member of Ragnarok, Zapfcarn. It also included a 'fake' guild war between Kollektivet and their alt guild Tevitkellok (which actually finished in the main guild losing!). You can read more about it in the flash news section!

    We can see many ongoing battles, beign fought on many fronts and we cannot wait to see results of them! As this week shown, battling with many guilds at one time usually does not end up with only winning them. Also, will we get a new leader in the ranking? We look forward to battles in the next week!
    If you happen to have screenshots of the GvG results from the previous period, I would really aprreciate if you could send them to me at rhashazi@gmail.com. In addition, if you are a witness of a guild versus guild fight, you have some information on some disputes related to them or you want to inform us about alliances - leave a comment, send a mail or poke us in-game!

GvG: Report

Elin Dance Squad vs. Outlaw

As our server is one of the PvP servers, we would like to inform you on a regular basis on GvG battles happening on Samael!

     Even though the first week is supposed to be a bit calmer since everyone is focused on levelling and getting to know the game, we could see that PvP-wise our server's community was really busy. Fresh guilds have already started to declare wars on each other from the first day of headstart. One of the most active guilds during this period was League of Legends guild, making an easy resemblance with their name to the popular MOBA game (which apparently didn't win them many friends). Unfortunately, we could not see much success from them during their battles and now their guild seems quite dead.

     The biggest guild on the server (not anymore, thanks to Darkness) - how they advertised themselfes in the beggining - the Curleh Mustache was also fighting actively since day one with different results. Other big guilds of Samael also made their appearance during the first days - Outlaw, Kollektivet and Elin Dance Squad are the most recognizable out of them.

     The 1st of May can be declared as a 'day of draws' - out of 26 ongoing GvG battles 15 of them ended with a draw! Apparently International Workers' Day does not encourage active PvP.

     One of the most interesting events of the first week of Samael on the GvG field was the action taken by members of Rigor Mortis on the Sunstriders guild. As you may have read in the flash news (original thread), they used a devious tactic, using spies to gain advantage over their opponent during their guild war, netting them a win. It is exciting to see what kind of tactics the players can come up with in order to win their battles - even if some of the methods may be morally disputable.

     As the game progresses we can observe an increasing amount of ongoing battles, with many new guilds on the scene fighting for their spot in the Samael hall of fame. One of the most active guilds for current time are:

• Darkness, 
• Evil League of Evil, 
• Vehement, 
• Swag City, 
• Overpower, 
• Sunstriders, 
• Bad Manner, 
• Omega, 
• Golden Phoenix 

Many of them are fighting on many fronts - let's see if they can manage to obtain the ultimate victory!
