Guild Wars 2

Did the breakout work well? I’ve been curious.

been seing alot of group Vs group vs Group. keep it up those fight’s are alway’s a blast no matter who wins. (it’s probably due to the breakout event, but oh well i’m enjoying them while the last)

Good close match up so far, this bracket is the best competition I’ve seen for us yet heh.

Meh still not sure if I’m fond of the breakout. I guess it helps but it seems like it can happen to often. I was originally under the impression that once you were pushed out of YOUR BL then you could use this, but to be able to do it on any BL and keep repeating the process just seems a bit dumb. I don’t think it was very well thought out on Anets part.

All its really done is prevent servers from taking those keeps because theres really no point, I fail to see how this helps WvW where you are trying to take & keep as much as possible. Why not just make those towers like the citadel, where they always belong to opposing server and can not be taken……..

Just my opinion

The breakout wasnt too bad, just seems like the boss being totally invincible was kinda silly. Hard is one thing, damn near impossible is ok, but invincible is a little much, lol. Either way it does keep it interesting.

I’m still trying to figure out the mechanics behind it.
GoM owned a tower and their keep in Eternal the other day and they managed to get the breakout event.
They had like a +25man zerg which was basically the same size as our force.

Super awesome siege dude comes out and slaps us around the face with insta dropping unbreakable siege.. They smash our zerg and start rolling the map that we’d fought hard to take.

I’m not one to complain. But seriously. Wut.
Eternal is supposed to be balanced and shouldn’t have a breakout event, never mind one thats uncalled for.

Yeah, I saw that happen on Friday night, except it was you guys with the zerg in our borderlands. Three of us were trying to defend a tower against the breakout commander + 2 guys while the rest of our team was fighting your zerg elsewhere. We eventually had to ditch the tower because our keep was being threatened.

I like the idea behind the breakout event, but it’s just not practical. I’d rather see something like an outmanned toughness buff, or free supply from your border spawn if you control no towers or keeps.

Score update?

The breakouts don’t seem to have a time limit on them. Sat morning when us poor little Gommies had been kicked out of EB we had wto breakout commanders appear. So we promptly ignored them and ended up taking back what I would consider the GoM part of EB.

Porting back to go to Lions arch I notice both the commanders were still there and able to be started. Seemed a little odd. I tried to tell them we didn’t need their pansy kitten and we had done broked out! But they just stood there mute asking for 10 peoples.

I guess NPC commanders have a lot of free time.

From the limited amount of English they speak, I’d say they’re lucky to have jobs.
These foreign NPC’s coming into our servers and stealing our NPC’s jobs. Its disgraceful. We should inform the server xfer police about them and get their documents file checked. Probably illegally tunnelled under the server borders.

Score update.

Thanks for the update, interesting chat too.

I like the breakout events, but I do think they happen too frequently.

I wonder if that’s a bug. They seem to be spawning at inappropriate times on occasion. If the timer isn’t also bugged, I think it needs to be adjusted so there’s a longer wait between capturing the last tower and the event being started.

Other than that, the commander might need to be toned down a little. They should be strong, but they shouldn’t be unstoppable.

Nope, I don’play much on sundays. Im the orange/golden yellow charr sporting heritage armor, mystic rifle, and static discharge engi build. You probably saw Py Hyper(the one with twilight that you should probably run from) or Mean Old Goat.

Is there a reason you ask this?

No specific reason, I just like getting familiar with the tags. It’s like making friends! ’Cept without talking to people or interacting.

I need a hug =(

The entirety of NSP will give you a hug if you can convince GoM to stop opening doors in SM just so Anvil can sweep in and take it.

Its been a great fight, but it has been really crazy this week. Anvil is pulling giant zergs out of nowhere all the time making it really difficult to attack or defend one thing without having to worry about something else getting attacked. But I will let you know its much more exciting than PvDoor like half of last matchup, so thank you Anvil and GoM, for an exciting and action packed matchup.

I live in the borderlands and take no responsibility/blame for whatever we’re doing in Eternal Battlegrounds!

Wow, has there been any point this week where AR isn’t getting it from both sides ? Was pretty fun defending hills & Bay from both Gom & NSP.

GJ AR.

That was a very enjoyable siege, AR!

NSP barely held off a 6 treb+ siege from Overlook on SM. Unfortunately for AR, the north outer wall of SM bugged when it was destroyed, making it difficult to enter. A few of us from NSP (myself included) snuck out of the castle and planted multiple catapults on the cliff north of Anzalias. AR managed to get a few mortars on point and foil us several times, but we eventually downed every single treb!

After that, we turned the tables on AR and used our mountain position to build our own trebs and destroy the Overlook outer walls. We began trebbing the inner walls, but a AR assault force pushed to the mountain and removed our trebs.

Basically, it was a lot of smart siege and back and forth momentum between each side. Neither side was successful in their siege to claim the enemy’s location, but it was a hell of a lot of fun!

Looking forward to another awesome siege tomorrow, Anvil Rock, and good job to our guys in EB this Sunday night for holding off what looked to be an inevitable breach of Stonemist

Bravo NSP, Tried to stop you taking overlook, yet you overwhelmed us heh, and then took our BL, good on you. Thank you for the great battles.

I actually love the breakout even.

I like being able to recruit 9 other random pug, and still be able to be effective.

The WvW wars is more dynamic now, because you never know when a breakout will happen, and you’ll have to defend.

More actions is good in my book!

Nuh uh GoM, you ain’t gettin’ this tower. And neither are you NSP. Your field rams will not break out spirit. This is [ALS] tower. Not yours.

that’s…ironic. i’ve looked at all maps and sometimes seen both other borderlands both completely red and green save for a couple camps and sometimes a tower, while in GOMBL keeps are getting hit by 40 deep zergs constantly

Sheadong.8217:

I believe the technical term for those are “shame rams.” GoM seems to have a fondness for them.

Current score, I’ve been having a blast with this matchup!

Come on, dayside GoM crew. Put down the snowballs and ugly wool sweaters and get your kittens over to WvW.

Sincerely,
The late-night crew

Good job guys pushing through the Borderlands with me and Os. Was a great ride and I’ll see you all tomorrow for the night shift.

Oh and to all my NSP friends who have battled at my side of the last few months…

..BORLIS PASS ARE STOMPING DRAGON BRAND IN THEIR FACES..

HOOOOORRRAAAAAAAAAH!!!

Late night crew you say..
You ever see a really spiky Guardian Commander throwing himself into the middle of your zerg.
If so.
Hello.

But I do doubt it though.
GoM leave the map when we get on, or so it seems.

NSP is noticeably absent at the times I play (usually sometime between midnight to 4 am CST). You guys are usually holding at around +150 while we’re trading the lead back and forth with AR.

But if you ever run into a spiky sylvari warrior swinging around a giant pirate anchor, do say hello.

Damn and here I was hoping BP would get roflstomped >.< As would everyone else in AR :P

I honestly miss the interesting thread wars we had with DH and DB it’s too peaceful in these ones, besides Os’s amazing troll, good job as always boys your the best! And keep up the slaughter shiverpeaks!!!

Score update. …

i was happy to see GoM again i could Just Jump on them and give them a big wet lick from my charr i miss u guys. and too NSP i had some good fights with you guys under the bridge and yet some good laughs.

here comes the cavalry…. lol

good times in early morning EB with NSP on all sides @Overlook

Though GoM is getting stomped this match I’m happy to see that we have people actually playing anyway! Sucks when your whole server just opts out of WvW altogether because of a bad week.

Wow, I tell you one thing NSP, you set your sights on something you get it. Even at the cost of all else!

We took your trebs down at SM soo many times only to see 2 placed for every one taken down. Every push you made and fell back you came back with even more bodies. The golems you brought to their dooms fell only too see more a half hour later. It was funny that the whole time you tried to take it from us I’m pretty sure AR and GoM had your whole borderlands once each.

I would like to thank all of Anvil rock that helped me hold onto Overlook for the 9hrs I was on (12-9pm). When NPS finally took it and instantly set up a large number ballistas at our spawn many of our guys were pissedoff, but I was happy. We did great

Can I ask one thing? Do you organise your player base to flood one map at a time? I’m not judging the tactic, it obviously works for you guys. The reason I ask is because every time I have hit a map you were not running I have been able to easily 4man your hills and bay without intervention.

Thanks for leading the defence for so long! We were doing better than I’d seen for quite a while on AR.

You would be shocked how small is our wvw community, the mob itself just happens, our server commanders/players know how to manage themselves.

just my opinion….

We have too. Our WvW community to small to have large amount of players on each map. We usually run small teams in other BL to help but that’s it.

This has been a really fun match up over all, and it seems that NSP has slightly better around the clock coverage, but during AR prime time we have really been bringing some decent numbers to the field. I really have to thank the people that put up with me on AR when I actually do turn my tag on. Thanks again AR, keep fighting the good fight.

I think all three server are doing very well in this server.

GoM, even if they lack the numbers, are still staying close in score and will attack from nowhere, keeping you on your toe.

NSP got really good number, might be around the same number as AR, maybe more maybe less. It changed a lot since release when you stomped us twice in a row. :P
But NSP seems to have a bit more strategy and a better around the clock coverage.

We really need a day crew, when I get back from work at around 5pm, we are always outmanned. We get back in the score during our primetime. Sadly it’s not enought to comeback from the day.

We also need to learn to defend. Anvil Rock T. A .R . D (can’t even write the alliance name) are all offense, and no defence. They nearly never build any siege or upgrade towers. When one of our tower is under attack, they just say : let it go, we gonna cap it back after.

A well defended tower can keep an ennemy occupy for a long time, and be defended even if you are outmanned.

We still have a long way to go before going up in tier! Especially with DR coming up, they seems to have gotten a big influx in players.

I think defense comes down to where and when. Something we still need to work on. Being able to have part of the main force break off and repel an assault while still pushing is definitely something we need to develop.

Of all the things I’ve read from you recently, this is the least accurate: Disrespectfully so. You’ve zero real information, and a head full of nonsense opinion.
