Guild Wars 2

Today Aurora Glade hosted Operation Triumph, an attempt to draw more new people into WvW in preparations of their next weeks matchup when they will move up a tier.

There has been a bit of bragging and boasting in this matchup so its nice to see a good event being organised and our opponents actually telling us in advance. That way, Vitas could cut short PvE night and find our way to WvW :-)

I had hoped that the event would take place a bit later during the day when more Gunnars were online, during the day our lands were all taken by Aurora, who then proceeded to Whiteridge but were stopped by their valiant defenders.

When the forces of Gunnars started logging in we did notice that there were a lot more new players in WvW on AG’s side then normal, as new players tend to do, they died faster. I hope they still had a good time and I suspect they have because they kept fighting.

I would like to hear from the other servers and other people what their experience was with this event.

For my part,

Thanks to Aurora Glade for actually mentioning their event, allowing the other two servers to also see what they can field.

Special mention and thanks to Unity/Fury for helping us test a siege set up. You wiped us twice, but the concept is sound I feel. The third time we had KISS standing nearby :-)

Hey, sorry I missed this thread. Thanks for the feedback.

As one of the people behind the organisation of Operation Triumph, I salute you and your server, and WR, for coming out in force to show us all what a real www brawl could be.

We decided to publicaly announce this event as the week looked more or less over, with AG points ahead. It would have been a shame to just let that last couple of days of what was a good fight, just pitter out to nothing.

Glad it worked to bring the Gunners out fighting. From AG side, we had queues for two maps, which rarely happens.
