Any successful multiboxers on Ruin US or Cyclone EU?

[magwo]

So from what I understand, these are by far the most competitive battlegroups in US and EU...
I'd like to know if any multiboxer is having success in 5v5 on these BGs.

I'm playing on Cyclone EU.. and I'm becoming a little disheartened. Already at 1650ish rating I can meet people who are Gladiator/Merciless Gladiator titled, who are seemingly experts at killing multiboxers. Sometimes I get so controlled, I'm beginning to doubt that it's even possible to win against these people, no matter the gear and skills/tactics.

I am seriously questioning the level of competition in other battlegroups. Any long time 5v5 players that can compare BGs?
In Europe at least.. most people that struggle in the Cyclone BG, and move away, instantly get 2000+ rating on their new battlegroup. Several of my past friends that still play alts on my server confirm this.


Cyclone EU has a tradition of attracting very commited PVP players. This has a two-fold effect:
1. It makes the Cyclone BG very competitive.
2. It makes the other BGs even less competitive.

Cyclone had indeed become a hard place to play, in seson one and 2 i made it 2100 ish whit Resto shaman / slsl lock setup in 2v2, in seson 3 i didet get over 1750 whhit any of the setups i tyred. Now in s4 i only box and its not relly going that well just 1550-1600 rating.

but thanks for the games vs you

There you are!

I think our games are 2-1 to me. First time we met you got me, but never since. Heh. It's really a battle of grounding totems.

Maybe it's just me, but I get the feeling that 2000+ rating in other battlegroups is like 1700+ on our battlegroup, simply because the population of skilled and committed PVPers is much much larger.

migrate to other battlegroup and get urself to 2000+ shouldnt be hard then.

[magwo]

I'm not convinced that it'd be worth the fees, and to lose all your friends and contacts on your current server. In addition, it feels wrong to give in.

All in all.. I'm just a little skeptic of all the people boasting about their rating achievements, when they are in fact playing against sub par competition.

[merujo]

Just because ur in frustration with ur rating, it doesnt means other ppl dont know how to play and achieve 2000+. In fact thats like a slap on every boxer face. It was ur choice, not ours. I play on the Misery battlegroup, and i disagree with the bg9-1700>all-2000. Basicaly ur just trying to justify ur rating for all that read the forums, but theres no need, because every euro around that knows whats pvp, know whats cyclone, a fairly hard bg. but stating that ur 1700 is equal to everyones 2000, kinda makes me sad.

i can tell u that on my BG, i had a very hard time past 1550. i improved on gear, tactics and control of my chars. my main goal was 1800 and i got 1813 this weekend, playing against very skilled players, even from SK Gaming ( those who promoted the BG9, right? Are now on my BG, on Vek'Nilash). I think i won, and i diserved it. I also diserved to loose some times

My bg and arenas queues never go past the 3 minutes, on any day, so i think that shows my BG also has a fair ammount of commited players.

[magwo]

Hm yeah, I know.. I shouldn't take out my frustration on others.

What happens is that I'm cruising cool at 1650-1700 for a week no problems.. then just WHAM! I hit a bunch of weirdly skilled and geared teams that just blow me out of the water for a whole night. Then I find myself at 1560, very very angry and frustrated.


Edit: Actually I believe this has happened to me before.. on mondays. Mondays are evil.

Im in Cyclone EU aswell..

3 shamans on thunderhorn (alliance) - level 70
4 mages+paladin on stormscale (horde) - all level 60, busy leveling..

But i did 2 weeks of games on my shamans and gave up.. It's way too hard.

I play 2v2 with my warlock and a mates druid.. and we're struggling big time to get the ratings.. Hit 2100 in S3.. Our best in S4 so far is 1701.. and after loosing to the same team 4 times in a row 'Vengful Gladiator xxxxx' ftl.. We're back down at 1650ish.

Cyclone takes the piss for how difficult it is..

I'm on Ravencrest-EU (Cyclone), and is currently sitting on 1813 rating in 5v5.. I 4-box ele shamans with a holy paladin - But right now, we are pretty stuck :P but still pushing some every week.
