Guild Wars 2

Arkanfel.8403:

I don’t really see what the problem is, honestly. All that’s been said is that we need to buckle down and get on the same page. These things are being discussed in more detail behind closed doors, but I don’t see anything wrong with expressing a little self-awareness here. I know it’s important to keep morale up, but not everyone reads the server forums, and I think they deserve to know that people are aware of the problem and are trying to fix it. Painting too rosy a picture (“we’re doing just great guys!! keep it up!!”) can have its consequences too, and some of them were manifest on Kaineng.

I don’t think there is a problem. The only people who mentioned potential drama on DB are TC folks. Drama is “not the DB way”. I value CO’s input on the matter, and anything they can do to keep us competitive in T2, I’m open to listening to.

Awesome

What’s biscotti anyway? Toasted toast? I always thought someone found a way to sell stale but edible rock.

Biscotti is gross, that’s what it is.

It’s one of those things that is trying SO hard to be good, but just can’t quite manage.

I think it’s just dried out bread. You’re supposed to dip it in coffee or something?

Coffee is kind of gross as well, so it works.

How dare you insult the almighty coffee! Coffee is nearly as sacred as toast!!

“It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java the thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.”

This is what i was going on about earlier today i am not trying to be negative about these things but they are destructive from any point of view.

Wow lots of FA guilds are leaving no wonder their strength is dropping. Their coverage suck right now. Alot of guilds are leaving, some we have great fights with like [BT] & [VK] they leaving to Blackgate. I wonder who will defend their homeland now, all that is left is what [RET]?

For past couple of days they seem to be outman all the time even during their prime time. Perfect time to take all their stuff :p

Reticle [RET] is staying on FA, it has become our home. We do not plan to transfer in the near future. Yes our numbers are downed i would say, but that’s ok! outmanned buff is soo much fun! XD Just the other day in EB we were out manned and i was like ok guys lets PV Door and people enjoyed PV dooring while a TC zerg roamed around EB FA had a community meeting last night and we believe that the split/ leaving of VK and leaving of BT will not effect us too drastically.

That’s funny, cuz where I’m sittin seems like BT pretty much carried the entire server… Guess time will tell

Good luck on your recovery

My goodness. TC is this your normal WvW turnout? If so T2 isn’t as balanced as previously thought!

Bless Coffee, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless its holy name.
Bless Coffee, O my soul,
and do not forget all its benefits—
which forgives all your iniquity,
which heals all your diseases,
which redeems your life from the Monday pits,
which crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
which satisfies you with good as long as you live
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Coffee works caffeination
and energy for all who are fatigued.
It made known its beans to Moses,
its effects to the people of Israel.
Coffee is aromatic and delicious,
slow to drink and abounding in steadfast flavor.
Coffee will not always taste fresh,
nor will it keep its hotness forever.
It does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
For as the heavens are high above the earth,
so great is its steadfast flavor towards those who taste it;
as far as the east is from the west,
so far it removes our sleepiness from us.
As a parent has compassion for their children after a morning cup,
so Coffee has compassion for those who taste it.
For it knows how we were made;
it remembers that we are dust.
As for gamers, their days are like grass;
they flourish like a flower of the field;
for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
and its place knows it no more.
But the steadfast flavor of Coffee is from everlasting to everlasting
on those who taste it,
and its righteousness to students’ students,
to those who keep its covenant
and remember to do its commandments.
Coffee has established its throne in the kitchens,
and its kingdom rules over all.
Bless Coffee, O you its addicts,
you caffeinated ones who do its bidding,
obedient to its drunken taste.
Bless Coffee, all its grounds,
its baristas that do its will.
Bless Coffee, all its works,
in all places of its dominion.
Bless Coffee, O my soul.

What’s with this coffee crap lol.
I want caffeine

Heads up there’s a few EU guilds looking to transfer to T1/T2 NA.

send them to t1.

Our normal turnout can be 2-3 maps on queue during NA primetime.

It really depends on the week though. DBs first two weeks in the tier saw hardly a queue anywhere.

Last night we had EB, TCBL, and DBBL all queued.

We have the population to queue everything up, but the burnout cycle makes it vary week to week.

Hadan.2841:

send them to t1.

Why would we send them to T1. We need them too

t1 has coverage and ppl for them to fight. We alrdy have coverage issues why hurt it even more.

Cause we’re ticking for 80 during EU primetime?

That’s my guess.

6pm est. your NA should be on. but hey 1 more guild wont hurt!

Jhawk.1360:

That’s funny, cuz where I’m sittin seems like BT pretty much carried the entire server… Guess time will tell

Good luck on your recovery

That’s because BT was our celebrity guild, every server has one: DB (agg) and TC (Pink). Generally BT spent their time in WvW fighting, getting loot (sometimes camping in an enemy spawn tower), capping objectives (sometimes even whole maps!) and holding them for the 2 hours they were on without upgrading. Making it hard to keep these objectives after they left, like your going to see BT escorting Yaks LOL! We wish BT the best of luck, we will miss you guys! <3

P.S. “With Discipline we will prevail” [/quote]

Pretty sure evlana escorts the most yaks out of any1 from all 3 servers, and guess what shes in BT!

Maybe that’s the point. What if they ARE on right now?

Hadan.2841:

The DB NA is largely west coast. They’ll be out by 8pm Ekittenll force by 9pm typically. There are a few NA/EU/Oceanic guilds talking to DB anout xferring here. I’m laying by a pool right now. Just reading up on a few things :p I’m hungry give me some tooooooaaaaasssst

Vacation is nice

Hadan.2841:

When I looked around 4:30 edt we were at 80. That would be 9:30 in London.

Thus, we ticked 80 during EU prime time.

Our destination is not set as of right now.

But why leave FA? I’m curious, but also selfish in asking this — BT is one of the best guilds we’ve come up against, and it’s always nice to fight them. If you leave this tier, it will not only impact FA, but also the other two servers. Why, BT, why? Aren’t you having fun here?

Not particularly

Hahahahahaha, That is all

Mayoken.9851:

Hadan.2841:

Why would we send them to T1. We need them too

The answer to DB’s problems doesn’t lie in further stacking more guilds on your server; if Noodles’ thread is accurate, you’ve acquired 940+ players in the space of less than a month. FA would need these guilds (or any sorts of transfers) more than either TC or DB.

Also, I see your foot.

Yea, we all know BG is the place to go to if you want your guild to thrive….. recent history shows the incredible heights reached by guild transfers to BG showed. I honestly dont understand why some people refer to BG as Blackgatehole, they have a fantastic community that tends to always come out and fight. They dont burnout or get demoralized ever.

Dragonbrand got like a flux of 500-700 NA players and 100-150 more Oceanic players.

The NA got it so its almost on par with TC/FA’s. the Oceanic was well needed for coverage. Still lacking EU and early NA.

One factor one must take into account when throwing these #‘s out there is the health of those players, the health, organization, and raid times of those #’s and how active (how many days per week) they engage in WvW.

lol, you ever get stuck in a position after dying and it doesn’t go away?

Yep.

Nice, yeah I’ve had that happen with my necro’s auto attack where he was stuck pointing for a bit. I feel like this epic pose needs a quotation though.

“I have the POWER!”
“Behold! Some toast!”

Only VK and BT are leaving FA.

VK was hardly on in the last month in force anyways and FA was just fine over those weeks. a number of VK went to AGG of DB in a poaching effort lead by Jericho. So that might help DB out a bit. The rest of us chose our own paths. I personally decided to take some people and strike out for BG before I give this game up.

It was a lot of fun in FA for the months I was there.
FA will endure. They have in the past. They will in the future.

well BT has always been an open field fighting guild which does not focus on ppt, thus FA may experience a ~30-40 ppt decrease during 3 hours of NA primetime…. no big deal really if anything even happens. it’s possible that even more individuals on FA will be able to rally now

Save ME!!! I would rather be out in the open field by myself. TC and FA on both sides armed with 10 Arrow Carts on each side. Firing on my position as 40+ zergs on me from both servers and stop to do a communal dance on my corpse. Both sides ignoring each other in what can only be described as collusion.

I have escorted tons and tons of yaks in BT’s down time, and even while scouting during BT’s prime time… But I hardly doubt that I’ve escorted the most :P

I’ve also spent 10 gold some nights upgrading keeps to waypoints – (mainly on weekends). As my FA forum sig states… “I like to put waypoints in keeps”.

Thanks for the shout out though!

MIrra.3604:

I usually do not post in this thread but I have a question and hopefully someone will have an answer for me.

I was duoing with a buddy last night in Eternal Battleground. At one point, we were running away from a TC guild zerg (I think the tag was EA/EB/Esomething/these guys like to spawn camp and such). We got away but they decided to hide behind a wall. I thought they were going to take the tower behind us but they sent in a mesmer instead and tried to portal bomb us.

Now, I’m fine with people using portal to bomb but in this case what for? 2 people? With 25 people? I’m not mad, angry or whatever. Actually, I thought it was quite funny because they failed to killed us with 2 portal bombs. I just confused as to why they would portal bomb 2 people.

you sound mad

TC offered us 30k gold, still considering the offer. FA doesn’t need BT to stay in T2 I don’t think, but hopefully they get an influx of pve players coming out to pull some weight since they cry so much about wvw bonuses.
