Guild Wars 2

It started the night after the Ancient Karka was slain. Northern Shiverspeak Server was in complete control of Eternal Battle Ground but little did they know that five Seraphs Of Fortuna Guild Members would enact the greatest plan ever; to take back the Blue Keep, Quentin Keep, and Durios Keep.

While roaming around World vs World, Selyessa stumbled upon an incomplete jumping puzzle just outside of Blue Keep. Immediately he realized that the location and height of the tower would give trebuchets the ability to target all three keeps. He contacted Aseres, Guild Leader of Seraphs Of Fortuna (SoF), and briefed her on his crazy plan.

The plan was to climb the jumping puzzle and build trebuchets at the top. Through the use of a mesmer with portal the group would teleport up and down the tower with ease and bring supplies. Then, it was a matter of time to knock down the walls of the three keeps.

The plan was crazy, ludicrous, border line insane but Commander Aseres saw potential and put together a squad to repel the Northern Shiverpeaks Server from Sorrow’s Furnace Land.

Under the cover of night Commander Aseres, Selyessa, Ratchet Stien, Sekhmet Medusa, and Jazz Tomassett climbed the tower and built the trebuchets. Mesmers Ratchet Stien and Commander Aseres would portal the group up and down with supplies. Construction took many trips but the trebuchets were ready to fire.

Commander Aseres and Selyessa opened fire on the Blue Keep. Raining flaming stones onto the unsuspecting Northern Shiverspeak. They continued to rain blows onto the walls dealing 4k of dmg with each shot. As the walls were reaching 10% health, a lone Northern Shiverspeak soldier realized that he could blow away the trebuchets with a mortar. He destroyed both trebuchets with three shots. The team was demoralized… Their best hope of claiming their lands blown away by a single mortar.

But Commander Aseres would not back down. She rallied the map and rebuilt the trebuchets. The soldiers on the ground were ordered to keep dealing damage to anyone on mortars. Finally, the trebuchet team was able to bring down the walls and claim Blue Keep. Afterwards they turned to Durios and Quetin Keep and captured them.

Good Job Sorrow’s Furnace! Keep up the Fight!

Especially:
Commander Aseres for leading the group
Selyessa for coming up with the plan
Ratchet Stien for being the portal master
Snatches
Commander Rexzter (for leading the ground force)
and anyone else who helped during the battle

If you want to replicate the battle, the tower is located just north of Blue Keep. There are steps to jump up to the top. Mortars from blue keep are rebuildable and able to destroy the Trebuchets.

Kind of makes me wish I wasn’t blue right now.

Being blue isn’t so bad. We are blue currently and we sometimes use it to hit stonemist or prevent siege from going against our towers. There is also another easier way to take out those trebs.

Blue did this, Bedinar! Be proud to be blue!

Ah, the greatest coup in history in all its glory. I wish I’d been there for the whole thing, but alas, I was exhausted and had to get some sleep before class. Yet I shall forever cherish the memory of my own role; forgotten by history, and rightly so, for it mostly involved goofing off on Skype and repeatedly failing at a vista.

Congrats on pulling this thing off, you guys. Ingenious and amazing…just crazy enough to work. And congrats to Commander Aseres on her 100% world completion, finally achieved through this cunning plan.

It’s nice to see some unique ideas in play. >:D

This has been done before by SoS months ago though.

Place is seriously hard to get up on. Even with out the enemy attacking you.

Mesmer portal FTW (to get the supply up, of course) !
