    Wouldn't that be nice. I find premades are difficult to find for PvP given that it's not a frequently updated mode of the game, and lobbies tend to die quite quickly. I was in a PvP link shell for a while, but even that didn't get far. At this point, I'm just hoping I can claw my way to lvl 50 before seize dies out like frontlines did... but I still have 19 lvls to go, so I'm not sure how the odds will be.

    I have 11 more ranks to go, 10 after I burn through 39 today. On my server, which funny enough is actually your server too, Flames doesn't seem to be a popular option for PvP premades. I know a few friends who are in an Adder premade, but I got stuck as Flames so I didn't join them.

    I figure if I can get almost 10k experience a day, I'll be rank 50 in a little less than 2 weeks.

    Grats! And I noticed lol, though, I don't think I've run into you in any matches that I remember =/
    Flames are definitely not common for pre-mades. I'm pretty sure Excalibur and Hyperion have regular premades (I ran into a few groups yesterday that were discussing it). Some of them are pretty good, but I haven't found anyone like that on our server. I'm thinking another LS might be the way to go.
    I try to shoot for a level a day. The goal is good, since my win/loss is pretty even (as of this week, so far, I'm sitting evenly at 13-1st. 13-2nd and 7-3rd), but the problem I have is that I don't usually get to sit down and really farm it out. I'm my FC's resident tank, and I know a few outsiders who pull me for raids, so it's rare that I get to really get my grind on. Yesterday was glorious, but not common.

    I'm in a Flames LS but it isn't too active, and they don't really seem to run a premade or even talk much.



    My weekly progress so far. Yesterday was beautiful, won more matches in a single day than I've seen in a few days combined. 10,100 Exp total from yesterday alone.

    I've pretty much given up on PvE until I'm rank 50, so I'm grinding it daily. I'll get my alex normal loot sometimes too, but only if it's with a premade group where I know I'll get my item. Otherwise I don't bother. Have everything I want already anyway.

    I feel like the more time I put into PvP, the faster I'll be 50, and the faster I wont have to worry about this stupid grind again. Then I'll be able to enjoy the PvE side again for as long as I like.

    I'm trying to spend most of my time in PvP at this point, but, sometimes the FC give me a call and I gotta tank stuff.
    You're rolling more weekly matches than me so far, but I'm kinda shocked we've never run into each other. I'm more shocked to see that our win/loss rate is so different, especially since we're on the same server. I don't have a screen shot, but I'm rolling an almost even split between 1st and 2nd place. I think I was at 15-1st, 13-2nd, and 7- 3rd, as of last night.
    Last night's wins were truly amazing, as you said. It was really nice to see the GC come together and play smart and as a team. Only lost 1 match.
    So far, I've been rolling over 40% 1st place victories. That % might die when I get more matches, but the goal is to stay over 40%

I suggested dropping the A rank beside the other two since we would finish second with one and we could use the north one as bait for adders chasing a retreating mael to launch an attack behind adders through caves. My team opted for splitting our forces 50/50 and defending the nodes that tin foiling gave us till the end and we actually won. Had the other grand companies even looked our way, we would have easily gone to last.

    I might just have to join the rest of the flames and use the pray emote at inactive nodes.

    I've been there lol. Sometimes you just get lucky. When two GC's have it out for one another and just power focus each other you can luck out as the 3rd GC, but it is painful to watch when you know that, with the slightest of changes, your game can go to crap in 10s flat. It's almost worse, honestly. Because, lucky moments like that encourage the team to try the same nonsense again, and it does not work all the time. Splitting forces is way too much of a gamble when both enemy GC's stand to screw you over.
    I had a terrible streak of matches last night for this very reason. Apparently, my GC lost their minds last night and decided it would be a good idea to provoke BOTH of the enemy GC's and keep our forces thinly split up between 2 points. The fact that we were getting hit on both sides kept our forces split the entire match, and there was no way to recover. It was awful. I had to bail. I was worried the insanity would ruin my win / loss ratio.
