Congratulations Maguma. You finally took Hills from us with a 10 golem rush with 6 defenders. ;D How much gold you waste trying to get it back since reset? I’m just curious.

“from us”

I find it funny that NA guilds such as yourselves take/share credit for your SEA prime times accomplishments.

Besides, the money I make off of EA loot bags is enough to keep the golems rolling in.

Congratulations on your first forum post. EA is one of the respected guilds in the game, and are known for their defensive abilities. Once you start logging more into the game, you’ll realize how much they contribute to our PPT.

Yeah, EA held our east keep for a long time last night, pretty much impervious to our attempts aside from a golem rush that got us through outer only to run around like headless chickens on the inner. I dunno how long they held it or if they handed it off to another guild, but they held it for a long time. I think the only point of pride is that they didn’t hold it as long against us as against YB?

Not at all. And there is no more culling, settings won’t affect you seeing who is there, just how detailed they look. Like I said exaggeration is akin to breathing in WvW recounts.

So your playing denial card, still fine with me. Cause if that was 50 players, then theirs only 40 people in New York, cause using words like “exaggeration” while 140+ players were their is fun.

Yea, I was the commander during that time, I usually ask everyone to stack on me for a supply check using /supplyinfo. Guess what, we had no more than 40 people when we started PUSHING. When we were holding in the tower, we had more like 30, you out numbered us. DB is just angry they coudn’t cap it and wiped in it twice. I actually want to commend you guys for the push. It was great fun predicting what you would do next. But please don’t say DB only wipes while when they are outnumbered 2:1.

During the battle with BP at South camp, we had 45-50 people, yes i counted using the same /supplyinfo. And thats how many ported to DBBL, and we reset your whole map, NNK style =[

we don’t use these words as referring to US as a guild, but as a server. our SEA guilds put in as much as we do in defending the keeps we manage to keep. your golem rush came an awesome time, lot of our SEA players had just logged off and half our NA had just went for lunch. that being said it isn’t a excuse. when you put as much into that keep as you did unless we had 30-40 people we probably wouldn’t have held it.

YB didn’t push us much, we have stay up till one of SEA commanders get on the map, then we let them handle it. but even then we have a few EA who pull allnighters

There’s no mistery about this, just perma-stealth thieves/mesmers. A very common and solid tactic used by guilds with skilled players.

That humility

Pendragon.8735:

Actually Anet has hinted that the leg trait affecting carts is going to get fixed. But I’ve seen every server do it, so there are no righteous good guys here.

Actually since it is a broken mechanic BP decided internally not to use it so we wouldn’t get reliant on it. so technically any BP talking about it can be a self righteous good guy.

IDK where your getting the “Your saying DB only loses when outnumbered!! 3 to 1” From.
You were fighting BP, yes you held tower, abusing Immoblize with warrior(Tired of having to say that ugh). to hold it.
And if your saying you counted through supply info… you know that only works if people are in your squad… 30 max…
Cause I’m getting even more tired of people using, “Well you obviously can’t count” response. I was their I have eyes too, stop denying it. I hate liars. -.-

Um no. You are confused with /squadinfo. Which is limited to squad. /supplyinfo is not. It logs everyone within a certain radius. And forgive me for trying to use a trait that apparently everyone uses.

“I’m convinced there’s two crowds here: people that think it’s okay in theory, and those that actually have the coordination to abuse it. We who have abused it know that this is stupidly overpowered and has to go. None of the half-baked ideas in this thread actually work against it.”

I think this says it all

I give up, supply info is limited to a very small radius…
“Everyone uses it” is a terrible excuse, just like when PvE items were allowed in WvW.

Last I’m done talking to lying brick walls, I’ll just fraps fights next time, hard to discount truth with actual footage.

Which is why I tell them to stack. Are you not reading my whole post?

And for the record I didn’t get any warriors to specifically get on that cart with that trait. if they were there, it was their choice. And I am also done talking about this.

Yawn. Can we move on to the next topic please?

Where is Baguuma?

I dont know about the all knowing thing, but he certainly got it right in this case.

the next topic will include all the opinions of the servers without actual fact.

Seriously DB get your kitten together, we had 30 people on the BL and it goes quite for 5 minutes and every bails, get your kitten together and stop letting karma zergs run over the BL

Welcome to the weekend when everyone is online and zerging apparently? Well your weekend I guess I still work 9 hours on Sunday so my Weekend starts at 18:00 tomorrow when everyone’s zerg’s hopefully drop 20 people and the super happy fun roamers/duelists come out to play.

Yeah it’s not just the weekend

Aww, my waypoint! =O R.I.P.

Did we keep Mag garri last night? Tried to stay on as late as i could to help out our overnighters but had to get off around 4 AM pst after the group i was with took back NW tower and West keep.

Valtrex.2895:

Fun fights at South camp too, 35+ BP vs 90+(using siege lol)

Valtrex.2895:

… while 140+ players were their [sic]…

Valtrex.2895:

Cause I’m getting even more tired of people using, “Well you obviously can’t count” response. I was their I have eyes too

It was actually 211++++.

I wasn’t there, but in toto I have presented exactly the same amount of evidence as you – the count stands at 0.

Um… Sorry but it was our NA crew that upgraded and held hills until our Sea came on to hold it. TFV was kind enough to allow us to go to sleep at 3 am est. I hardly see how you can fund 20+ golems you wasted on hills by EA loot bags. Not to mention the amount of trebs I saw you guys throw at it. Nice try though. If it makes you feel better we held Yaks Hills last week much longer.

We are sharing credit for holding Hills as a server not a guild. We all did it together. Dragonbrand fights together not as one guild. Please do not misunderstand when anyone says “us” it means our whole server.

Never understood why people think it’s hard to fund siege. Jumping puzzles, boom, done.

Another of those “Respond without reading” comments. Read what was said, and then carefully read the response. If it still doesn’t make sense, then I give up.

Valtrex.2895:

What’s the point of this post? You weren’t there, and the reasoning behind it is even more pointless.
And besides. Look at pic.

I see 26+ dead horses from here!

You should give up. The original question asked how much gold we wasted, and I’m betting the answer is zero.

All the frustration of this matchup is taking its toll. DB is rightfully ranked #7, Mag #8, and YB #9. Only major changes in WvW population is going to change that. Unfortunately that means Mag and Yaks are going to be facing this same scenario for the foreseeable future. I’d rather this thread devolve into the typical “X is awesome because we kicked Y’s butt”, than continued population and coverage comparison posts.

Can I get a WHOA BUNDY?

Also, no guild names, but the perma stealth/cloak and dagger thief from DB who took joy laughing at a group of us chasing him for 20 minutes around bl; we had fun too. Especially the part where when u were caught and downed you disconnected. Very classy.

I have to disagree insofar as we all should be tier 3, but our ranks should rightfully change over time. A lot of people seem to forget, or simply don’t realise, just how close the last few weeks really have been. Just wait until FA, TC or Kaineng get knocked back to t3 again and then you’ll see an unbalanced match.

Personally, I took a break from the game and didn’t play between late November and mid-January so maybe things changed while I was away, but I have never played in anything other that tier 3 and I have been on DB since Headstart. This matchup has been consistently close just as other match-ups have been consistently unbalanced.

The real problem is morale so I would also remind everyone that DB has come back to win a match-up from a deficit of over 50k in the last two days of a match, more than once, so there is always hope.

I would also point out the most obvious issue but I fear that DB would lose if I did…

I think Maguuma needs to recruit an oceanic guild who wants a challenge.

The Cross-Eyed Norn says, “No Sweat!”

Yeah mag chest thumping about taking their hills back is precious. We defended at least 10 failed repeated attempts from you guys. Including 4 attempts and glitch cat splashing the sw wall, then all the trebs you guys lost at stargrove. The golem rush must have happened as soon as I logged off, we expected it much sooner than that.

It would also be hard to farm bags off us when you are not even scratching our walls, but its your tall tale to make up whatever you like.

Wait, how is that cat spot a glitch? It’s taking advantage of splash, but I don’t get how it’s a glitch? Unless we’re talking about different things…

Things just sound better when you call them glitches! Like glitching mesmer GS skill 1 to kill my counter cat.

See thats how it works.

Everyone at some point has bunkered down in one place, only to have it golem rushed later. Maguuma Garrison had the exact same thing happen this morning. During this time, farming on both sides can happen whether or not walls were damaged.

East keep and Garrison are fairly easy to defend. The only way to take an upgraded keep back in one try is to golem rush, ninja it, or have a fair amount of numbers on your side. If you don’t have the latter, then it’s most likely going to take a few tries.

Great job on defending a keep in an enemy BL for so long!

2v1? Don’t worry your secret is safe, that never happens in WvW for a whole week. Even if it did here, Mag/YB would still split the majority of the NA primetime points, still leaving an insurmountable lead that DB picks up NA overnight.

Nature of 3 way WvW is you fight everyone at different times just because people tend to go after the easiest points and who those belong to change at different points in the day.

Actually, no, that’s not what I’m talking about… even though it is the way the Borderlands are designed.

This is the first weekend I can remember that DB had the lead. Shiny happy People.

Last night was real fun though, especially at the tower and camp. Other than that we were just wiping everything in YB BL.

What is YB up to? We just reset everything of yours in your BL without really seeing any of you, but it didn’t look like you had the outmanned buff. There was like one lonely guy in the garrison lord’s room.

I don’t think YB has consistent T3 population tbh. There are times when even the home BL is just strangely empty. Not talking overnight either, like middle of the day you might see 12 people in the whole map for 2 hours. I always think it has to do with lack of many large guilds that push people out together en force. Yaks numbers kind of have to organically grow over time. Sometimes this critical mass fails to happen and maps just get barren. It’s kinda odd but been that way since the beginning.

Well the weirdest part is the lack of outmanned.

Edit: nm, looks like their buff just popped. Still weird given the circumstances though.

saiyr.3071:

I don’t trust that buff at all. Been too many weird reports of when it pops or not. Maybe people were standing around afk in citadel though who knows.

Yeah, it took awhile for it to show up.

Just got my commander badge this morning. Had fun in our BL with the PUGs. Stopped a good YB zerg at the north camp when I saw them zerging around. Felt pretty good to predict your movements. Plus took back my first set of towers as a commander. Will try my hand at keeps soon.

Thanks for the fun YB and Mag!

I guess it sucks to know that when DB guilds NA and SEA put their game face on…you guys can’t compete in any timezone, including reset or N/A primetime..but seriously great job this weekend..

Congrats on the icon, and first day of commanding~

Ha this golem rush on EB is comical. Theres like 4 of us Yaks here lol

Friendly reminder to everyone on DB- we know what it’s like to lose. Don’t be “that guy” that shoves the win in the loser’s face.

That being said, have had quite a bit of fun this week. Sad to see Mags and Yaks not as strong as previous weeks, whether it be because our increased morale or their decreased morale. Regardless, hope you guys can continue to put up a good fight for the rest of the week <3

A lot of our good players are playing less now that we’re in tier 3. Simple matter of morale.
