Guild Wars 2

happy queue everybody

Thanks everyone for the nice fights on BB-GL.

Happy fighting and good luck for everyone

BuLL is looking for some 20v20 GvG action this week, if anyone is interested contact Azharon or Shoepato ingame.

Have fun everyone!

1 hour-long fight in Riverside Garrison.
The perma-rev lord mechanic is really dumb….

Then again, porting people inside garrison from the base is also broken, but meh
It was fun!

Sorry for the bugged longview taking, we tried to get out when we noticed the cap circle was there but we couldnt react on time and a PuG took it :/ It wasnt on purpose and it didnt count for the tick, so its all good I guess ^^

Tired of killing lords already.
Which are the most reknown guilds in Riverside? And in Kodash?

Best,

Haltair, one of the Twelve Shadows

You played so often against us you should know them.
Perhaps perma-stealth has done damage to your sight;-)

I guess the well known ones are, ScnD, dw,DTK,VU,GEAR,VIS,FeaR,Zornig/LLS/Sepsis,ZerG and RS also some decent smaller ones like VM and GG
Sorry if i have forgotten some.

Thx.
Sepsis and zornig tags if available?
And no. If that was a question I do not use a perma-stealth build.

Cheers to Ods, good players there

All in all this is a great matchup. I haven´t met a single Condimesmer or Warrior with healingsignet yet. Great to see so many Bursty Thieves

Very good combats have given us OdS. This evening with only 7 OdS we have killed 20 or more in north camp XD. If some union this one interested in duels against the OdS’s best add me, it would be a pleasure. To look for myself in the game.

You will want to say that you have killed 8 OdS being the triple one the combat. 80 % of the combats we fight in numerical inferiority.

Nice fights tonight at BB Bay when we have taken both Bay and Hills while they were T3.

As always with RS, Hills full of arrowcarts waiting for us xd

ja, kittenn youtube – always love to see your fight, kudos

Nice and fun week.

Thanks to all the guilds and blobs that make it more interesting. And specially thanks to the 2 Kodash thieves that I meet in the ruins and didn’t want to rush me both at the same time when i’m facing 1 lowie and his m8, we have some nice 1v1 duels after and we kill all the Riverside that try to interrupt. I hope the week can continue this way.

The Benny Hill show:
Yesterday at 21:30 kodash took Bay at riverside’s frontier, we placed a couple of catapults in the south door and after destroying the first wall and starting with the inner one Riverside’s zerg entered trough our breach, some noobs continued with the bombing to the inner wall and Riverside got the way to the lord thanks to two baruch noobs bombing inner wall.
Three baruchian thieves and a mesmer stayed hidden and capped the stronghold just in the limit of the tick.
Absurd situations.

Haltair, one of the Twelve Shadows

Here I go with another mashup!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O48L0Em9kks
The first fight two fights are vizunah and elona, but from there on its riverside and kodash! (I understand you couldnt tell because youtube quality is dumb :D)
I will have a mega download link sometime later in the day to anyone that wants to see the video as it was actually intended (quality-wise)

Thanks for the fun fights everyone!

Kodasch has the most Dolyakfarmers
The Dolyaks go crazy when they read any Kodash-Tag

dominik.9721:

Kodasch has the most Dolyakfarmers

yeah, we always take the way of least resistence thats why i run a power ranger build for solo roaming :P

Can you post a link to that statistic?

http://www.gw2score.com/currentscore/total_score/desc

( total score / 100 ) * score not from tick

example kodash tuestday 2.50 pm:
(133842 / 100% ) * 39,84% = 53322 points not from ppt

Does “not from ticks” mean just the points from stomping?
I wonder if this really reflects player skill or just that there aren’t as many players on kodash to be stomped…

hehe nice theorie the points are from dolyak killing, points capturing and stomping. recapture points means that your enemy has captured them from you so there souldnt be a big gab from points getting from this source. dolyaks must be nearly the same amount of points on each side.

i think it is the lack of players during the offtimes on kodash and the strong play of the small scale guilds that always hold 1-2 bloodlust buffs. less players means also less fokused ae dmg to kill downstated ppl with pure dmg. we have to stomp.

one more big difference to other servers is, that kodash has 4-5 absolute great small scale guild that run group sizes of 3-10 people. other server run in 20-25 man groups ( we have some to but far less then eg elona reach )

Bull kittening overpowered killing everyone with theyre huge brainless army in the new Arena.

Nice to watch. LoL

I would not call it “quality” to kill dolyaks. theoretically 3 points for one yak twice a tick. Hell that is a lot.. I mean there is not even a player based reward for protecting them… beside it’s pretty hard to protect them if the player/group is really only focused of killing the yak…

even to always hold ruins is not really quality, in fact its (currently) pretty easy… it should go without saying. most players from riverside are not capable to do this, oddly especially at primetime… owned by small-scale I would say. until some hours ago we were in front when it comes to ppt, even if it was always very small amount after your first monday morning raid.
i think anet has done a very bad job in communicating the not per tick points. you hit B and you see the tick. you dont see the hidden score anywhere explicit in the game and especially not broken down! what are they thinking? also bloodlust is not communicated very well… if there would be a big icon showing which side has it, I bet player would react pretty fast. but it’s a text in a place where you are used to see always pop up events, so you simply ignore it – a well know fact in human computer interaction. but that’s nothing which I would be surprised about, the whole game is a nightmare from usability perspective. Now – after one kitten year we got rarity displayed as a color frame around the iconic item representation, well now I already know all of them… but it’s a good example why anet should hire someone who understand something about user interface design :/ from a usability engineering view the game is just very horrible. i could add up a long list here… i even wrote anet regarding UE while in beta state, but yeah, i guess it was lost in the noise. probably no one official except the delete bot will ever read this text, but I don’t give up hope – i still want to like the game, but sometimes….

one is for sure u are currently #1 in t1 in not from ppt. seriously gj & gz @ the small scale ppl :-)

Lovely ResQ people ^^ Hope at least you had fun since it was pretty sad…

Grats to Kodash, you will loose the match no matter what you do but the Shadows love that score not from tick and you have done much better.
At the same time it is also true that some guilds and players are quite relaxed in BB for this Matchup, in our case we have been enjoying EB without demand, not real intensive raids…. But in any case yesterday you did a huge effort.

Best,

Haltair, one of the Twelve Shadows

we are 7k points ahead of you because the only time baruch plays strong everyone in germany sleeps and you cant get much points from killing ppl.

anyway gratz to the matchup winner and thx for the nice fights.

haltair are you interested in some duels? tonight in the sanctum?

Coarr.3286:

I can not enter in the game till saturday, but feel free to contact Tikiitaka or Darckbeta, they will enjoy duelling.

Greetings to the Orden de Sombras people we were fighting against this night. My apologies though for interfering with one of your thieves through using “Sic `em”, while he was duelling our thief. He´s quite new to the profession so I could not resist the urge to help him : P

1 more day to finally get rid of Baruch, wohooooo.

Very good duels have given me this evening, I expect to throw more XD A Greeting, Tikiitaka of the order of shades (OdS)

I just can say one thing… You did an amazing job Kodash by far the best German server on EU league! You improved a lot, A LOT! Since last time we met!

Really impresive guys

Did you recive any migrations, or just improved your organization?

Great week

majos.8503:

You have to be kidding. This week was one of the worst gameplay-wise — there was no motif, almost no skill and the team play was lacking.
Yes, we got some reinforcement (e.g. [ADAC] transferred back to us after a long break on AM, now organizing public raid leads during our off-times), but overall I’d say our overall performance wasn’t that great. Most of our bigger groups were free loot bags for any organized group of the opponents; karma / wxp trains don’t provide any incentive to invest in personal and group play skills. Some of the effects one could see during this week…

Also many of our small scalers are on break, were in the queues, or didn’t have too much fun anyways.
Speaking for myself, this week was pretty frustrating. Guild raids were low on numbers, our group play was lacking. Small-scale-wise it was either stomping zerglings or spiking the back line of guild groups (which was fun at times, but doesn’t live up to a decent 4vs4 or so); duels were mostly against dhuumfire-terror-necros running spite signet (srsly…), perplexity engineers, hambow warriors and blackwater mesmer builds. Open field duelling has become so dull, it’s just sad.

The new arena in obsidian sanctum looks promising, and I want to thank every duel partner whom I had a chance to fight and talk with. I hope we all can elaborate on making the arena a great place of fair competition and a great training ground for every oldie and newbie interested in duels and group fights.
Sad thing is the current mentality of some players, who zerg the entry zone in huge groups, or some guild groups (which I had lots of respect for in the past) who chase and stomp people who want some “fair” fights in the arena. Some players already organized in guilds to advance in their “how to farm 1 with 15”-skills even further. Maybe the players involved should improve their PvP-skills, so that they don’t become free loot bags whenever they are dragged away from their group… At least it would make it fun times for both sides at the cost of neither.

Well, forgot what I wanted to say in the beginning: thanks to the groups which used all of our weaknesses and showed us how it could be done better. Not the ideal training ground, but I don’t blame you for our shortcomings.
What I always liked about siN is your zerker-style. I don’t know of any other guild dishing out such heavy damage — unfortunately we got sandwiched one too many times by you and other baruchians, which made you one of the most unfun opponents during this match. As soon as you or we engaged, there was always another group popping up from behind.

Haltair.3062:

I’m sorry to tell you, but you really need to step your game up. I didn’t lose a single fight against any of OdS, even when I was engaged at low health and everything on cooldown… I think your attitude is alright, but your group is not the force you see in it. Thieves are easy to start with, but hard to master in PvP. Farming zerglings is nothing which helps your group in improving your skills and reflexes.

hahaha I want you to tell me that to my face.
First I fight against coarr not beat me. It was a great fight congratulations.

Well i just can compare you for the first week of season, and you improved a lot since that day… Maybe you have reason (i’m sure) but at least you were stronger than the last time we faced and i think that i have to congratz you Also you have reason, annoying to fight your blobs… full of necros…

About siN, we are sorry.. we try to run alone… but it’s not easy…

Tikitaka.1340:

Add me in the game and find me, my name is Tikiitaka.

Since we will fight again next wvw-week, I’d be glad to have a chance to play against you (if you’re not running s/d or a trickery build – they are hard counters to my d/d-ele build ).

majos.8503:

Also you have reason, annoying to fight your blobs… full of necros…

Whenever I run near our zergs I only see lots of rangers…

majos.8503:

I know you do, as well as most other groups do. I wouldn’t be offended if it was the other way, as well, anyways. One of the thrills lies in the odds and chances. Sandwiching and situational joint venturing are strategies which are sometimes required to achieve a common goal, or just for the fun of it.
Also there are too few objectives on the maps currently, which makes spreading out very hard for anyone who’s looking for fights and captures. I’m looking forward to the EotM map, which seems to implement some interesting changes that may promote different targets for different groups and play styles.

Kodash had a rather massive influx from a couple of other servers in the past weeks, including several well-organized WvW-Guilds.

While this led to an improvement to our PPT-play especially during the morning, it also lengthened WvW-queues during prime-time by a substantial amount (which were not much of an issue for Kodash in the past). What it didn’t change (by much) was the amount of players during night-times, where all German servers seem to lack numbers on the battlefields.

Whether true or not, Kodash always took pride in it’s “play-culture” and there are worries from some old-timers that this perceived “character” would now change to a more zerg/blob-happy style. There are indeed Kodashians, who just want “good fights” and don’t look at the PPT-ticks that much.

As a result of all this, we are in a period of transition at the moment with some internal rambling and arguing…

hey tikitaka,

thx for the duels yesterday. my provider kicked me ( does this every 24h ) out of the internet and i decided not to come back to finish our second duel. my dog wanted to go on a walk with me

we can contiue of fight next matchup. im looking forward to it. ill bring the setup from the first fight again, conditions make no sense

bye and enjoy the reset.

Coarr.3286:

Come on…
Very convenient when loosing…
It is interesting that people here congratulates Shadows for the good fights in this same thread (Valani, Dominik…) but your point of view differs, exactly in the moment that a Shadow showed that was defeating you.. your game crashed…. and from your point of view the whole Order should improve…xD
Mate, I have killed dozens of RG and did never try to advice the whole guild nothing. Sometimes their build were supportive, sometimes were trying something new I guess, some others the class was less competitive and so on… They always tried their best and performed pretty well.
Perhaps you have encountered a couple of new recruits and killed them a couple of times, I will not deny that is possible, but come on, your computer died in the exactly moment Tiki was going to beat you?…. it sounds strange…
By the way, Tiki´s internet connection is crap, if yo do not beat him you will not take down many other brothers.
Prepare yourself as well as you can, prepare an anti-thief build, go to obsidian sanctum and try to win all the duels to the veteran Shadows located there.
good luck….xD

Best,

Haltair, one of the Twelve Shadows

i have two build i run atm. 1 condition and 1 dd. in our first duel i had my bersi stuff equiped, in the second my condition. first was won pretty fast, the second could go on forever. we both had our moments with 5% life left, when he was in trouble he teleported around like crazy, when i was nearly down i used my heal skill + blast finishers + block / evade skills. next time will fight with my bersi build, thiefes condition remove is simply to stong.

the fight when my provider gave me a new ip and i flew out of the game wasnt in tikis favor at the moment it happens. but i would love to fight you guys again and i will enjoy it to lose. these make you stronger as a player.
