Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, I’m brand new to making videos and my hardware and software is currently terrible. I’ll be upgrading in the near future, but for now I’m finding it fun making videos nonetheless. In this video I used a little cleverness to manage a cap on a tower, thanks to the quick building of a golem!

Any comments or critiques would be much appreciated! Enjoy…

Tapping things is a tactic I have been using for a long time.. You also don’t need golems to do it. Rams or catas work as well, you’ll just need to run supplies. I usually start by flipping camps and if no one comes to stop me I tap something like a keep and the closest tower. Even if you are scouted they will most likely just assume its you again tapping something else. At that time is when instead of tapping I actually build siege and bust in and the tower is mine..

Doesn’t always work out that way as I’ve had zergs come and stop just me LOL but it can be fun to drive people nuts at times by tapping things and then taking over a tower to watch a bunch come and take it back.

Keep trying it out after the event is over.. Solo players actually help commanders and zergs more then most think. If you have a friendly zerg on the map attacking a keep most enemies will try to defend their keeps while leaving other objectives free to take solo or small groups..

Nice! Will do, for sure. I definitely love messing around tapping stuff. My problem in the past was just getting supply for a ram. But the low gate and golem week certainly made things easy for me haha.

When you get higher ranked and have nothing else to spend your points on you can add them to supply capacity and be able to carry around 15 supplies. If you are in a guild that runs +5 supply you can claim camps and get +5 supply that way so can carry total of 20.

Sometimes catas work better but a little slower than rams I think and running supplies to build rams the guards may respawn and attack your ram. Guild catas can be built in some guilds and are a bit pricey on the TP but they cost, if I remember, 25 supply and they do same damage as a super cata.

Also at times some don’t really check for cata’s so you can always run back after a tower is capped and check if your cata is still there hehe. If so you can just reuse it to take down the wall again. Over time though you’ll learn a bunch of tricks but only one way to find out if your tricks will work is to try out different things They don’t always work but if you confuse the enemies enough you have a better chance that they will.

Thanks for the tips, man!

Your server is ticking 400+ PPT. Sounds like the other servers already logged off. I’m sure that wasn’t a scout in the tower. More likely, it was someone grabbing supplies or a roamer. I have no doubt you could build a ram, run supplies from S camp to build it, and ram the gate without anyone responding.

It’s still pain in the kitten to run supplies multiple times for each tower. 50% of my roaming time goes to being a yak pfffff :/

Actually, that’s not true. The reason the gate was low is because several of us had tried to cap it about 15-20 minutes before and gotten zerged down only after a scout entered the tower and gave us away.

In that Particular moment, there was our zerg, and the enemy’s zerg going at it at several locations on the map. We kept being stopped due to their defenses. So, no, the servers weren’t logged off. Not at that particular moment.

Since I’m among some of the “lower” tier servers, it’s nothing new to tick that many points on a regular basis. However, (even though I’ve only been on the server a few weeks) I’ve picked up on the various times where different servers will rule. This was around the time that our zerg begins to dissipate and the other servers begin pulling ahead.
