Ofcourse they are more intense, have you seen the rediculous changes made in 2.0?
Not only do we need to co ordinate the entire team on the PTS, but grind gear, stims and grenades which wont even last long. I personally don't have the time to do such a thing, let alone learn the new skill trees. We may come over during the week (Impulse) but to be honest, I don't se why trash talking is neccesary. We want Cross Server ques to que and prepare properly, what does PTS prove? Sweet FA! We have nothing to prove to Yanks who love to ego stroke, and yes we are the main EU PVP server, and we are one of the best, if not the best PVP team on the server. If you don't think we can compete, then fine think that way, no point trying reverse psychology.
I will speak to the team tonight but to be honest, most of us don't have the time to grind new gear etc on a server which may last for like a week then get wiped...what is the point?
