Guild Wars 2

neoxide.7320:

It appears mag is trying to artificially boost Kain to rank 2 past Yaks. I say this because Mag has been attacking only Yak territory while ignoring Kain territory. So much so that Kain is pushing into Mag territory with zero resistance.
On Kain BL mag has skipped their own greenlake tower and went straight to take redbriar from Yaks. A little while later Mag is sitting on all Yaks territory in EB while ignoring Kain’s side of EB completely.

go look at eternal again.. PS your tinfoil hat is showing.

I’m just karma training o.o;;

Not to tear open old wounds here, but I wanted to try an clear up some confusion about the Wär situation and the exit of Zero, as I think my exasperation with the concept of guild missions certainly did not help the situation.

Wär is and likely will always be a WvW focused guild, however once guild missions came out, those of us (basically me), realized there was some benefit to doing the missions, not just for the ascended gear, but for the one day when inevitably the Anet folks decided to add in something that took guild commendations that would benefit players in WvW.

Obviously getting anyone to participate was a chore, as most if not all of us found them dull and uninspired, and the vast majority of the guild didn’t even have world completion. Yet more of us would run them with other guilds, because you could get personal rewards repping any guild.

Since they came out, it has been nightmarish convincing people to come to do the missions, and those that do come get punished and spend even longer on them, because of those that choose not to do them, for perfectly legitimate reasons (like they are not really any fun).

I have continue to hold out that people will see the value in sacking an hourish a week on these to build up commendations for future use (banners/whatever new comes out), and to help attract players to the guild who may not like PVE, but like ascended gear.

Unfortunately, even with the return of some older members who were taking a break, and new influx members into the guild, the missions still continue to flouder with attendence, even with the support of some helpful folks from other guilds who run them with us and their normal guild.

Zero never really cared to do missions, and while that isn’t that big a deal to me, as I understand his dislike of them, it set an example that the officership of the guild (at least to some degree) didn’t support the missions. This punished the few of us trying to tow the line.

No reason to discuss the night he left in detail, but I would imagine tempers were high, and things were said/done that people likely would have rather taken back. The circumstances were not a unique situation though. Guild missions being a “requirement” are like mumble and full rep in WvW. You can only “require” so much of online people before a fun guild becomes a horrible dictatorship.

My personal frustration at trying to do these missions with so few people and with so little support I am sure contributed to what went down that evening, though I again wouldn’t have supported demotion (as it symbolically is offensive, and in reality is nearly meaningless).

Zero supported the guild and was a good all around commander and player as far as I could tell. I am not nearly as active as most, but I personally had no issue with him, as he support the guild with siege, money, and was a positive influence in bringing in folks from WvW.

In retrospect, I wish the systems in game allowed WvW players to ignore tedius PVE details (at least at a guild level). Saddly that is not the case now, and if the guild doesn’t come together for the tedium, it is hard to come together in WvW. I think if the guild missions represented a significant time investment I could have understood Zero’s position, but it just seemed so out of character to me that he chose to never participate.

I never intended that folks blow up on the forums over this event, and since I have been the honorary PVE coordinator since these darn missions came out, I accept a lot of the blame for what happened. The bad blood happens when people leave, and I am sure I will spike zero if I get the chance, but in reality, I do not think there is nearly as much bad blood as people believe. I am sure he will be happy with his new guild and I wish him the best.

Sorry so long, but never visit the necro forums if you had a hard time reading it all.

Some of you guys sure have a lot of free time

I have a guildie who fell from the ceiling and landed on his balls so he has more time to play, so happy to see him more often … though I wish it wasn’t under such poor circumstances. I’m allowed to telecommute so I often visit the forums and check out the scores … shhhh..

I figured it was a waste to try and be practical on the forums… and yes Zero is a guardian.

Shads.9468:

I say this with an honest, open heart: Any NA guilds looking for a new home need to move to Kain. We’re just a few guilds short (on their side) of this being the matchup we’ve been looking from. Yak’s could use some oceanic bolstering too I guess, but i don’t like to share the loot.

Ignore the drama about Zer0. Ignore the fact that since he left, maguuma hasn’t lost eternal bg at all. Ignore what appears to be his very mental fabric unravelling in this thread, and ignore the fact that military members with the blue taco apparently use it as a reason to substitute the lack of rank in real life. I’m sure he’s a stand up guy.

You know, looking back at this, you should probably ignore the entire last paragraph and join Kain anyway.

EBG has been fine because Xushin has the week off and has been putting in a ton of hours so EBG is staying afloat, plain and simple thats the reason why EBG is not suffering. I dont use a blue taco to substitute rank in real life ROFL you’ve got to be kiding me.

This isn’t even Maguuma being upset, it’s one guild and an ex-member of said guild yelling back and forth. Literally one guild airing it’s dirty laundry on the forums.

Be like D|ERP. Colhearth left Mag for KN. We put a bounty on him, now he can’t even roam with getting jumped. Winning.

Now I believe you with Colhearth and your story but there’s definitely been a mixture of many guilds participating in the Zero Xcel forum Bashathon

At what point do you just let it go instead of replying to every single person, sometimes the same person twice? You talk about closing the thread and being tired of it yet you keep replying to it. All you have to do is stop. It’s so simple.

meh, in the beginning it was like that, everything was mentioned with a few exaggerations from both sides and probably a heat of the moment kind of thing on the forums but i’m not about to continue it anymore as it seems to have died down a bit. Now people are just replying to zero to annoy him and make his stay in Kaineng as miserable as possible until they move down to tier 4.

You’re not annoying him, he’s Tolbrihn 2.0. Posting on the forums is not going to make someone’s in-game experience miserable. This is not only to you, but he moved on to a different server and is happy there, wish him the best and let it go.

Thank you

Xushin lost SM 30 minutes after I logged out for the night and he took over. Based on this, i can only conclude that the rest of the stuff you said is also false.

Rennoko, thanks I also wish you the best, I know we saw differently about the GM’s but you’re a good guy, good luck in maguuma and take care, I understand your struggle to get participation was probably a weekly annoyance.

NOTE: This post is completely accurate and I agree with the above statement.

He cant control everyone, I know he probably did his best to hold SM, he knows what he is doing…

I predict a post shortly following this one where an ex-commander of maguuma defends both his posting and the fact that hes been trying to bribe everyone whos even shown him the slightest bit of support.

(whats hilarious is that depending on how much he thinks you like him, is how much hes offering to transfer to kain).

You know, just when I thought Yak’s was starting to come back together a little bit I’m proven wrong. Gotta love when we have a Commander spying on another server’s Mumble. Yak’s is starting to hit a new low and I don’t like it. Makes me sad.

The yaks commander was welcome. He learnt nothing beyond what is well known: Mumble.

Good fight with the Yaks at YB Hills earlier. I think there was maybe 10 of us there. Too bad PYRO tried to jump our catas, which delayed us, but we still had a good time.

neoxide.7320:

It appears mag is trying to artificially boost Kain to rank 2 past Yaks. I say this because Mag has been attacking only Yak territory while ignoring Kain territory. So much so that Kain is pushing into Mag territory with zero resistance.
On Kain BL mag has skipped their own greenlake tower and went straight to take redbriar from Yaks. A little while later Mag is sitting on all Yaks territory in EB while ignoring Kain’s side of EB completely.

Yaks and Kain were tied this morning with 270 pts each tick and as of now Kain is at 230pts (Mag has to have SM) and Yaks is as low as 125 pts. Our populations are of comparable size but Mag is chewing up Yaks while propping up Kain.

We focus YB 100% of the time, obvs.

Maguuma can you please stop rigging the game by capping blue and red maps and manipulating your way into 1st place?

Jeda.5209:

With the recent events happening with Jade Quarry and possibly being the next high tier server to implode, has Maguuma started receiving inquiries regarding their server. I know some are flocking to DB, but since you guys are winning by a lot you may be the next server for the bandwagoners. Lord knows they don’t bandwagon to losing servers to try balance things out.

According to the tier 1 thread, PYRO is moving to BG or JQ within 2 weeks.

Can someone from PYRO confirm or deny this?

Yaks need Eurozone players more. Kain needs a bit more balance all around. Mag definitely doesn’t need a new wave, they are still over bloated from the last bandwagon.

If only Yaks can Kain can combine somehow, we would really be going places.

Kain have strong oceanic, weak NA.
Yaks have strong NA, weak oceanic.

Then add 1 or 2 EU guilds and we would be tier 2 ready.

One can dream.

That screenshot is old, 3-4 days old. Just look at the points, this screenshot was taken when Mag had just gotten far ahead of the other two worlds, at the time when the southsun event started. So it’s no surprise that the points aren’t balanced when everyone is crab grabbing.

I’m talking about today, the last day before reset. Mag slammed Yaks this morning and virtually ignored Kain. There’s a 2500pt window now between Kain and Yaks and they almost caught up but their population is hitting its deadzone so there’s little chance they’ll be able to pass Yaks now.

Take it from a maguuma commander; You need a new reason to justify your score. This isn’t picking on the weak guy.
To the rest of the guys in Yaks, keep bringing it, and don’t let this guy dictate how your server rolls.

Not to tear open old wounds here, but I wanted to try an clear up some confusion about the Wär situation and the exit of Zero, as I think my exasperation with the concept of guild missions certainly did not help the situation.

Wär is and likely will always be a WvW focused guild, however once guild missions came out, those of us (basically me), realized there was some benefit to doing the missions, not just for the ascended gear, but for the one day when inevitably the Anet folks decided to add in something that took guild commendations that would benefit players in WvW.

Obviously getting anyone to participate was a chore, as most if not all of us found them dull and uninspired, and the vast majority of the guild didn’t even have world completion. Yet more of us would run them with other guilds, because you could get personal rewards repping any guild.

Since they came out, it has been nightmarish convincing people to come to do the missions, and those that do come get punished and spend even longer on them, because of those that choose not to do them, for perfectly legitimate reasons (like they are not really any fun).

I have continue to hold out that people will see the value in sacking an hourish a week on these to build up commendations for future use (banners/whatever new comes out), and to help attract players to the guild who may not like PVE, but like ascended gear.

Unfortunately, even with the return of some older members who were taking a break, and new influx members into the guild, the missions still continue to flouder with attendence, even with the support of some helpful folks from other guilds who run them with us and their normal guild.

Zero never really cared to do missions, and while that isn’t that big a deal to me, as I understand his dislike of them, it set an example that the officership of the guild (at least to some degree) didn’t support the missions. This punished the few of us trying to tow the line.

No reason to discuss the night he left in detail, but I would imagine tempers were high, and things were said/done that people likely would have rather taken back. The circumstances were not a unique situation though. Guild missions being a “requirement” are like mumble and full rep in WvW. You can only “require” so much of online people before a fun guild becomes a horrible dictatorship.

My personal frustration at trying to do these missions with so few people and with so little support I am sure contributed to what went down that evening, though I again wouldn’t have supported demotion (as it symbolically is offensive, and in reality is nearly meaningless).

Zero supported the guild and was a good all around commander and player as far as I could tell. I am not nearly as active as most, but I personally had no issue with him, as he support the guild with siege, money, and was a positive influence in bringing in folks from WvW.

In retrospect, I wish the systems in game allowed WvW players to ignore tedius PVE details (at least at a guild level). Saddly that is not the case now, and if the guild doesn’t come together for the tedium, it is hard to come together in WvW. I think if the guild missions represented a significant time investment I could have understood Zero’s position, but it just seemed so out of character to me that he chose to never participate.

I never intended that folks blow up on the forums over this event, and since I have been the honorary PVE coordinator since these darn missions came out, I accept a lot of the blame for what happened. The bad blood happens when people leave, and I am sure I will spike zero if I get the chance, but in reality, I do not think there is nearly as much bad blood as people believe. I am sure he will be happy with his new guild and I wish him the best.

Sorry so long, but never visit the necro forums if you had a hard time reading it all.

Hi Rennoko. Didn’t know you are in WaR. Let’s continue to show people the true power of necros.

It appears mag is trying to artificially boost Kain to rank 2 past Yaks. I say this because Mag has been attacking only Yak territory while ignoring Kain territory. So much so that Kain is pushing into Mag territory with zero resistance.
On Kain BL mag has skipped their own greenlake tower and went straight to take redbriar from Yaks. A little while later Mag is sitting on all Yaks territory in EB while ignoring Kain’s side of EB completely.

Yaks and Kain were tied this morning with 270 pts each tick and as of now Kain is at 230pts (Mag has to have SM) and Yaks is as low as 125 pts. Our populations are of comparable size but Mag is chewing up Yaks while propping up Kain.

We focus YB 100% of the time, obvs.

That screenshot is old, 3-4 days old. Just look at the points, this screenshot was taken when Mag had just gotten far ahead of the other two worlds, at the time when the southsun event started. So it’s no surprise that servers can take everything.

I’m talking about today, the last day before reset. Mag slammed Yaks this morning and virtually ignored Kain.

Take it from a maguuma commander; You need a new reason to justify your score. This isn’t picking on the weak guy.
To the rest of the guys in Yaks, keep bringing it, and don’t let this guy dictate how your server rolls.

I’m just saying it was a little too coincidental given the circumstances and kain losing ground to yaks but yaks losing all other ground to mag. If Yaks is pushing back Kain with ease, and Kain still has a ton of territory, I don’t see why Mag wouldn’t just swoop in and take it all.

Mag capped 60% of Yak territory in a few hours and didn’t even touch Kain territory during that time ._.

Munkee.3542:

You know, just when I thought Yak’s was starting to come back together a little bit I’m proven wrong. Gotta love when we have a Commander spying on another server’s Mumble. Yak’s is starting to hit a new low and I don’t like it. Makes me sad.

Dude don’t let people know about that. :P

With the recent events happening with Jade Quarry and possibly being the next high tier server to implode, has Maguuma started receiving inquiries regarding their server. I know some are flocking to DB, but since you guys are winning by a lot you may be the next server for the bandwagoners. Lord knows they don’t bandwagon to losing servers to try balance things out.

According to the tier 1 thread, PYRO is moving to BG or JQ within 2 weeks.

Can someone from PYRO confirm or deny this?

Consider this confirmed and denied

But which one is it? I must know!

Ya who Mag picks on is out of both of our hands. Whoever Mag wants to take 2nd place will take 2nd place it seems. We have no control over our fates. Feels like a puppet.

kitten us off the most, and we’re likely to ‘pick’ on you. Kain brings twice our numbers, and yaks tries to ninja stuff when they think we’re not watching. Hard to pick the more annoying one.

SHAKA ZULU.3128:

Maguuma can you please stop rigging the game by capping blue and red maps and manipulating your way into 1st place?

B-but that’s all we know what to do ;_;

“Kain brings twice our numbers…” ???? Where? Can I get a KN cmmdr to confirm this? When did this happen??? I demand to be let in on this Kain zerg.

Wvw is all about numbers/coverage. It seems that YB is the weakest during that time (no offense), so it might just be an easier target for our daily karma trains (because who doesn’t need more karma 8 months into this game?!?).

You know, just when I thought Yak’s was starting to come back together a little bit I’m proven wrong. Gotta love when we have a Commander spying on another server’s Mumble. Yak’s is starting to hit a new low and I don’t like it. Makes me sad.

I didn’t get the impression he was spying, per se. I wasn’t there for it but everyone said he was a nice guy. Spies are welcome anyway, we kind of expect them to be there some of the time.

Shads is our lone Aussie commander, so he’s talking about oceanic time where Kain can actually outnumber Mag.

I’m talking about today, the last day before reset. Mag slammed Yaks this morning and virtually ignored Kain. There’s a 2500pt window now between Kain and Yaks and they almost caught up but their population is hitting its deadzone so there’s little chance they’ll be able to pass Yaks now.

No, that was early yesterday morning/late wednesday night. I’d stop looking to blame Maguuma for your server’s problems and figure out the real reason why your server is struggling. Hint: the weekend warriors are part of your problem. Figure out how to get them to play during the week, and you’ll do much better.

neoxide.7320:

Here’s the reason: Yak’s was trebbing SMC. A good way to annoy Mag is to contest a wp constantly with trebs until we are forced to come after you. We wanted to wipe YB off of their side of the map for that reason alone.

Don’t want attention? Don’t kick the hornets’ nest.

People forget, DB was a meaner tier leader. They didn’t bother with picking, both teams were getting cleared. Just a matter of who was getting it first.

We are kind overlords and you should appreciate us.
