Guild Wars 2

Good Evening all,

SoR just finished a golem attack on TC’s overlook in EB with 10+ golems then went in to see who could get the furthest into their spawn. Now we are considering trebing their spawn…

I was wondering if this is considered overkill or how the community would describe it?

not overkill
we used yesterday 8 golems to get a orb

plan was to run there and take down both doors in lower than 3 min cause they had a waypoint inside

it worked but time used was 4 minutes 14 so we have to improve a bit^^

Peetee.9406:

Lame and makes me ashamed that you are on my server.

That’s a shame I thought it was a wonderful late night event.

Also I understand somebody managed to fraps it, I look forward to seeing the video!

I have no problems with using golems to take the overlook, but trebbing their spawn is ridiculous. Let’s not fall to ’Beastgate’ level here.

8 golems a good number, ofc it depends on the size of the fort you’re going to raid and number of supplies it has… this one i think we have at least 15 for sure @ EB … http://i46.tinypic.com/30ag7z6.jpg ; http://i50.tinypic.com/34gub95.jpg ; http://i49.tinypic.com/2sblte8.jpg

Nice, hopefully the fraps for our one will be outshortly

Miller’s Sound used 5 omegas yesterday on EB for the blue spawn keep. With 6 mesmer and their timewarp on top of that, we took it down and captured in 1:39m while they didnt even notice what did hit them. Unfortunatley nobody frapsed it

When you drop 25+ golems then we can talk. Welcome to RUIN!

Want a good laugh, ask Sea of Sorrows about the 29 alphas + 1 omega they portaled under an oil last week.

Elonareach!

Yeah, trebbing spawn… that will make your week exciting as no TC nor ET will bother to log in to WvWvW.

most golems i ever saw is in this video i think^^

You know you can’t hurt anyone in their spawn, right kitten

Golem rushes on keeps are more of a problem since they highlight the issue of how quickly and easily anyone can crush a fully upgraded keep, often faster than defense has any chance to respond. It’s simply not realistic to expect every keep to have 10 players manning siege 24/7, so inevitable some sort of siege rush will take it down in less than 5 minutes.

You could do the same thing with rams, though.

In order to do that sort of thing they need to have access to a large amount of supply and make a heavy investment. If you can truly spare that much supply and manpower without losing then you were already winning to start with.

Also, 1 person noticing it can screw t all up. Meat-grinder properly set up and done > golem army.
