I saw WM running with a few others in TA, very good hex/cond pressure build. In addition I've seen [Luna] come up with some very effective spikes and condition pressure. And I do agree that TA has the same level of difficulty if not more than halls or gvg. Maybe it's just because I run it less, idk.

We played War Machine a couple of times. We never lost, but they were great games, they run very strange builds and skill choices.

To be honest, the thing I love most TA is the fact that it's not always a certain guild that is dominating. It's just us as a community. I'm no longer in a TA guild, however that doesn't hinder anything because everybody still knows me. Just like I know everybody else.

A lot of big time TA players have moved on, and gone into other guilds that don't TA much. However they still get a lot of TA action because they're known. Most of the people that have made comments in this thread are the people that are the TA players. Obviously not all of them have posted in here.

So for me, it's tough to say a certain guild is dominating any more. Or ever tbh. You can compair rosters and say who's better, but it's not like HA where only one guild can hold halls at a time. There can be a couple teams running in TA with 50+ wins. We'll never be able to ACTUALLY know who's dominating TA unless we get an obs mode, or they have a TA tourny or something.

TA is an insanely fun place to play, and it's dominated by talented players.

HA guild? Respect? Please explain.

TA is probably the cleanest arena there is. In terms of trash talking and broken build abusage.

I could name you one of the better HA guilds, like [ftl] for example. And everybody would know we're talking about forgot the ghostly. However if I told you about Rage Quitters of [TA] or a well known TA guild more than likely, if you aren't or were never a part of the TA community you wouldn't have a clue in the world who they are.

If I said the name Leeloof, a lot of people would know who exactly I'm talking about. Or any other number of well known HAers. But if I said Unko, or Qweer you would be completely clueless.

Yeah they may be known, but that doesn't mean HA gets any respect anymore.

Btw Shiz, dunno if that's actually how it's spelled or not, but Pheonix in your guild name is spelled wrong.

Yeah I'm not too hot of a speller, but I think this is the correct spelling.

And IMO, if they are known that's a form of respect.

Sooo I don't know if it was just me or not, but does anyone else notice the lack of...erm...talent in TA atm? I am not seeing any of the top guilds I did even a month ago (some of split of reformed). It's like, go in and get however many wins you want now with hardly no challenge at all. The only other team I've seen in recently is SoS, and they are the only challenge. Hell, we (former OoOo, now xTc) haven't even been that active with Wintersday, GvG, and PvE, yes I said PvE at the end.

We need to start bringing challenge back to TA. For the love of god.

I miss TA, was away from home for about a month and my connection is capped (thanks to my housemates and the backwards telecommunications standards in Australia for the cap in the first place), so I can't really even play 'til the end of the month.

Noticed that [OoOo] reformed and you're not doing too badly in GvGs, good to see. Hopefully there'll still be some of you guys around to group up with when I can play again =P.

I have to agree with Mourne.. I haven't been playing in TA nearly as much lately, but probably out of about 150 matches in the last week, 145 of them were no contest. I don't think any of them were during 2am EST. I can't complain much... easy glads are easy glads, but come on :P

Thanks for the GvG mention, Agyar

and yeah, xTc is the old OoOo! We haven't been TAing as much lately because of GvG and my 9 pve characters that I've been trying to get up to speed with nightfall...

I don't think I'll be playing TA again until skill balance happens. While thumpers are fun from time to time, I'd prefer to play a warrior for a while.

Lol I didn't mean it in a bad way ;P. I meant that you guys are the only ones that end up beating us (if it leans that way), besides some random team that comes out of nowhere.
