Guild Wars 2

Anyway, I wanted to say to the SF guys in SF BL lat night that we had a great time. Thank you for coming out for some fun WVW even though the points are so slanted. There was some awesome back and forth! It never ceases to amaze me how the battles with SF are such a blast.

Again, tnx for the fun times!

I have been trying to avoid camping WvW as well as the rest of my guild (Mostly) Considering we want to give the other servers a chance to have a little fun with lower numbers. Can’t say anything for the pugs, but we have gotten our PVE on in this time instead of pushing harder than all green towers.

I, for one, do not condone spawn camping in these situations. In a defensive situation like friday, sure, but it’s just pointless to not let people out of their spawn at times like this. (Even though there are several doors)

I really hope some guild transfer to ET. that or NcSoft is gonna have to close down the server when absolutely everyone leaves…

Actually there was a lot of OS out there with us as well as one of your commanders. OS actually took the Garrison. It was not really about the points last night. It was just SF and NSP having some WVW fun.

There is no such thing as spawn camping in this game. With 3+ exits per base, it is really pretty much impossible to stop folks from leaving if they wanted to. Most times I do not even bother, I run out the front and cut left or right, and rarely does anyone try and chase.

People are there by choice and largely the fighting occurs there because it lets folks on both sides retreat to guards when needed, but still able to fling stones at one another. Boring as watching paint dry in my opinion, but they seem to like it.

(I’m talking camping, I forgot to say that)

Yes we are taking keeps that are taken, but we aren’t camping is what I mean.

People camp the other exits too.

So yes, there is in a way.

It is still Spawn camping. I am not sure why you are so conversational to anything Toble writes but regardless if they can go out another way, it is camping at their spawn point, hence spawn camping. Please chill out over the semantics. This is why we went astray last time. Or if you have an issue with Toble, take it to PMs.

Everyone yells at me!

TOBLE GET THAT SUSPENDED PAGE FIXED! You know what I am talking about! :p

I can’t just use my female allure to get your page back. Only works on guildmasters, not Mods(Mods being merp go yell at him.)

Have a Happy Thanksgiving guys!

Don’t sleep through Friday’s reset!

Bye Bye!

Please check my post history, you will see I have posted in response to the so called issue of spawn camping many, many times and my response has nothing at all to do with Toble, or Os, or NSP, etc.

All three exits being camped happens how often? What about the branching side exits, so you really have 5-6 exits from the spawn? Or what about your citadel where you can jump down at almost any point? These are almost never camped and if they are doing that level of camping it is for a specific reason, ie taking the keep and want to cut off reinforcements, which is perfectly legit. You will never have serious camping of the side gates because it does not allow for both sides to run away to guards, and as such not much traffic, which in turn means its boring to camp.

My server complains of spawn camping all the time, yet they are never actually prevented from leaving. Not once have I had an issue from simply running out of our spawn while people were complaining about being camped, not one single time and I play in WvW a lot more then most people.

I am 100% fine with people fighting in front of the spawn, I understand it entirely and it makes a lot of sense on many levels. All I object to is people, specifically my server, complaining like it somehow is preventing them from doing anything else, when it is not.

LOL Toble. OK.

And Niim, EDIT: Removed comments since I do not want to continue/contribute to these flame wars. I want this thread to stay open and productive.

To the rest, have a great T-day! And SF, keep up the great work! You guys rock!

Yes, well we wouldn’t want the onerous task of creating a new thread get in the way of discussion.

Let’s discuss the NS/ET/SF jumping puzzle. How is it going in there?

Given I head out of town this afternoon for the weekend, thought I would give my shout outs today:

ET: Not much to say, barely saw you guys. Mostly I saw guys from <Mend> so shout out to you guys for still being on ET and getting out to WvW.

One of the down sides of a green map is that the decent green players all take the week off and you get few really good 1v1’s or 1v2’s. I had a great fight with a necro at umberglade (Venilore), I had a great fight with an unguilded ranger in SF BL by the jump puzzle, a great fight with a non-flailer warrior near Wild Creek, and a couple decent fights with a warrior from <ANGE> or something like that. He is a flailer, but he does not to bad at it. Not a lot for the week, but good fights worth mentioning none the less.

Thumbs up to all the lowbies I fought. Oddly enough it seemed that the players that really wanted to fight and gave it a good effort were lowbies this week, and some of them did very well. So props to them. Sucks now, but you will be a better player for it at 80.

Thumbs down to every single person, my server included, that runs out to fight and as soon as they are challenged run back to guards. I have no issues if you have no interest in fighting me, just do not waste my time by pretending you do and then run to guards when your opening moves do not scare me. You never get better hiding behind walls, siege or guards.

Given the lack of ability to see player names, I play a week with ‘who is the worst guild’ in mind. Granted this is not really fair as there are some great players in most guilds, but ultimately ANet only lets me see guild so that is what I go by. Was a tough call this week, a lot of really bad ones out there, but I am going to have to say the worst was <St> Saints guild. If they were guarding a flank I would head right for it and make loud noises, it would crumple in an instance. Last week I saw this guild do a half decent defense of Pang supply camp, so I am not sure what happened to them this week, but it was bad.

Hope everyone in the US has a good thanksgiving weekend. Good luck NSP in the next tier, ET I guess we will see you when I get back.

Well this week was really disappointing for me, knew it was going to be irregularities due to the event but wasn’t thinking this at all. I wasn’t able to play during reset due to some RL stuff, by the time I got in all I did was run around and upgraded keeps and castle.

I’d rather lose than dominate like this TBH, I’m somewhat glad we are moving on, no offense but I’m getting tired of seeing the ugly people if SF. I think we’ve been matched together for almost a month now.

For the ET guys, gl it’s kitteny losing population like that hope you guys eventually get some good fights in no matter which tier you end up in.

Tonight I learned that finishing a keep upgrade completely repairs all the walls and gates in that keep.

That’s fine, we didn’t want it anyway…

This is just a quick post to comment on a little asuran warrior from Dew aka Dynasty Elite Warriors. This fella alt F4’s every time you kill him. I find it amusing that he is in a guild with the word elite in it. Sorry just had to mention this. Other than that there has been some good fights with sorrows the past few nights. I love the competitive spirit by these folks and applaud them for just ignoring the score as it means nothing anyways. Play to have fun.

Do them two thieves from Saint [St] guild read this post?

<3 the d/d ele you always try to kill
