Guild Wars 2

This is your Chance to Allow others into your experience of following Commanders ..Which ones Led you to Glory and which ones led you to a Armour repair shop .(I’ve seen both sides of that coin as have we all ). Keep in mine this not a stump post to grind your axe . I simply want people to be aware of who in your borderlands know the job.
All that needs to be done is list the borderland they rep , NAme of said commander an a number rating between 1 and 100. only fitting since thats the cost of the title.
I spoke to a few about this and most point out that its a bad idea . I would agree except for one small point . 100 gold bought you the Commander Tag , it however did not buy my respect . That currency is paid in full on the Battlefield. So feel free To voice/type /respond in a way thats respectful to those involved. and remember you can Save the Lives of your fellow zergers.
See you on the Field Soldiers>

100/100 for Commander En Rohbi!
Perfect Decisions and flawless executions at every turn.

The shining star of Dragonbrand right here.

No, I’ll be serious for a second here.
The DB Commanders that have been around for a while have been pretty solid.
The Commanders in EA, Duel, UhOh and (once upon a time) Epic get their kitten done right.
I probably missed a guild or two.

UhOh is an awesome guild tag, why didnt I think of that!?

All of [Choo]‘s commanders. You guys rock. I’m glad to be in a guild with such great members and leadership.

Shoutout to all CDS commanders as well, always fun rolling with you guys.

UhOh is an awesome guild tag, why didnt I think of that!?

lol isn’t it just…..

All the ET commanders, they have put tremendous efforts into our wvw day and night, they know WvW very well and communicate with each other, and their efforts among our population has really paid of, they deserve their recognition IMO.

100%

Commanders that try to command and know when it’s a good time to turn off their tag – 9/10

Commanders that know what they’re doing and I follow regardless of if we’re wiping or not – 10/10

Commanders that sit in PvE with their tag on and enter that stupid jumping puzzle – 0/10 and need to leave BG forever.

Commanders that are humble and lead well = 10/10

Commanders praising their own guild commanders in map chat talking about how good their guild is and asking who the best commanders are in map chat deserve a 0/10, they are basically stroking each other’s kitten. Score of 0/10 This happens so much on a certain server I won’t name. It’s embarrassing.

A good commander learns from their mistakes, accepts defeat without blaming or pointing fingers, keeps their ego to themselves, has good communication habits, and works well with others on the map. You don’t have to win every fight to be a good commander.

Irmo, Brew King, Bavragor, All the CHOO and FEAR commanders- purp, jaymeze, ikitten, etc. I would follow all of them into the pits of hell an back. 10/10. Great commanders on SoR. Couldn’t ask for any better.

But its only like, my opinion, man.

For Tarnished Coast:

Good Tier:
- Madember
- Jalen Durant
- Jadon
- Zudoari

The Less Said The Better Tier:
- Some others, who I will not name because I’m not a commander and likely wouldn’t be a better one than them if I was.

FA commanders in general
Mediocre at best, except for a few note worthy ones (particularly those from GODS,PRO and RET).

All the other commanders seems to just find where the biggest group of players are and roll with them rather than actually leading. There are also several commanders who I will not name that just seem to have the commander title on just for show ._.

Player A: Hey look at me I spent 100g for this title, I’m just going to sit idle in the keep while we lose our towers, but you guys go ahead.
I also rarely see any of these unknown commanders run groups to repair damaged structures as well, bad role models in my opinion.

Commanders from a non-renowned WvW guild in FA 1/10, rarely impress.
Commanders from the well known WvW guild in FA 8.5/10, they can still brush up on some things (mostly knowing the capabilities of certain siege weapons that they haven’t used to their advantage much yet).

I can only speak from my own experience, but the KnT commanders on BG are amazing. Ridculy, Riven, Liquids, they make great forward thinking decisions, looking at the long term health of the maps (which always seems to confuse people). What’s impressive is that they can do it and keep their cool. I’ve seen Ridculy pull full day shifts as commander, dealing with trolls, defeat, etc, and still the guy is friendly and calm as a brain surgeon. He’ll take everything in stride and move on to the next objective.

Edit* And, while I’m giving shout outs, the Choo commanders seem to have their kitten in order. You folks always put up a great fight. It’s always a pleasure, win or lose.

0/10 for OP for starting a trakittenalk/butt-kiss thread about Commanders. Stop hating peeps who roll with their icon on in PvE. Did you ever stop to think the icon is useful in big PvE situations? Besides, a Commander is only as good as the size of their zerg and siege. Kill red stuff, knock down doors. It’s not science or even strategy, nerds. 10/10 for me, the best Commander of all. Rolling my icon 24/7. BEEP BEEP HATERS!

Meow commanders, moontrance(my guilds commander so biased a little) and bird song of Os are all extremely good commanders though like eternal a bit too much ;p

^along with a few others that I can’t rememeber…and we sadly have plenty of those 0/10 PVE commanders that I know not to follow before 1 repair bill

Desolation has quite a few commanders (some sadly are of the PvE, stand in LA, or jumpy jumpy sort) but most are competent (we wouldn’t be a solid T2 server otherwise).

IRON leads our WvW efforts esp on BL and they are all v good.

However 1 stands above the rest and if you’ve spent as many hours on EB esp at night you’ll know who I’m talking about and why.

→ so i’d like to take this opportunity to thank Moorta (IRON) for all the great runs and I totally agree with OP, he is one of the few commanders who I’d willingly run with on a suicide mission because I know there’s strategy, grit and courage behind it.

/salute

I wanna say alot of commanders are solid in deso to name a few from IRON, GT ,TEQ, GOD, EXG, KAZ, GP and many more. I am not gonna name myself i leave that too others hehe.

Props to you all Commanders of Desolation.

/Salute

And really thats all this thread is about .. Ive rolled with countless commanders an i’ve seen good an BAd . To MAKe This point First .. A commander i shall never BE . Comes with a Great deal of responsibility. I would much perfer A smaller Honnor Like a LT. BAdge for Flipping Camps with 6 or so. Anet if your watching .. Hint hint .And not freaking 100gold either . people be broke these days.
For those paying attention when they first logg onto a Wvw map an the first thing they see is a BLUE ICOn.. YA gotta wonder how your DAYor night is going to go. This is merely a guide to clue you in on your server .. That Poster several threads Up Who said they would follow their commander to hell an back .. NOW thats the Spirit.

For THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK we SALUTE YOU
Gwen TArnished Coast Defender

I have done PvP for almost 14 years now.

Mr ‘Follow, Follow, Follow’ is by far the best commander I have had the pleasure to serve with.

Gunzo

Obedient Son (Stormin’) – 85 – When he’s not burning his dinner to stop a golem rush, he’s defending our home BL and calling out random cardinal directions. +5 points for his accent.

Sun Tzu- 90 – Probably the best of all the commanders. In the mists of battle, he pulls out his trusty strategy guides to tell us what would be the best next plan. Every day is a day of glory with him!

Dijurido Dingo – 95 – A really sweet and quiet commander with solid offensive and defensive skills. His loyal, unbreakable dedication to WvW is only surpassed by his love for pubbies.

There is no point to this thread. Rating commanders publicly on the forums is pointless and would do more harm than good.

I’m just waiting for the mud slinging, kittenstorm, and kitten fighting to begin.

Some advice for the OP:

1. You should have listened to those people who told you this thread was a dumb idea

2. The rampant use of random capital letters doesn’t make your decision look any smarter

You guys realize that telling him how dumb of an idea this thread was is the biggest derailment that’s happened so far… right?

I reckon Julius Caesar, Alexander The Great and Napoleon are in the top 5.

Rommel, Mountbatten, Xenophon and Ghengis Khan I think get honourable mentions.

To this day I cannot see any good reason for Jar Jar Binks having been made a general. Thank goodness its probably Lawrence Kasdan writing the next Star wars film and not George Lucas.

Back on topic: Custard.

^

This thread came along and had a relatively cheery start (although I don’t agree with the public defamation of poor commanders, which hasn’t really happened thus far anyway), and you few come along and say there is no point. All I have left to say to you is, who are you to tell me that my praise for our server’s commanders is pointless/stupid?

Now then, obviously shout out to my Choo commanders! You guys really are the reason I joined in the first place, and the community is what led me to stay. You guys are awesome!

Shout out also to the CDS commanders and TW/TWL commanders as well. Coordinating with your groups has always led to fun times!

To all those out there that I did not name, well I probably haven’t run with you and don’t know your tactics. However, I do respect what you try to achieve for our server and I salute you.

Have to say a big thank you to two of the guild leaders of IRON.

Wrex – her abusive sarcastic commanding style together with the kitten attitute she has to the members of IRON are a nice change to the usual plesantries from most commanders. The emoness and hate is felt with every command and why we follow her is simple. If she hates us that much, then i pity how she feels for the enemy.

Offski – Shouted commands of turtling in between his crisp munching and cig smoking are a real delight to behold. His usually calm manner can often be heard breaking when we dont follow commands to the letter, when we are treated to 10 seconds of abuse followed by 10 minutes of apology. We love him because he cares, he’s our guild teddy bear and the total opposive of wrex. Its nice to have him step in just as guild members are about to kill themselves from wrex’s abuse.

Wrex and offski we love you.

Also a salute goes out to our old Commander Cyanidestar

You self congratulary lead style never let us forget how good you was, you would lead us hard and true in WvW and straight into bankrupcy in our financial affairs. You not only stole our hearts when you left, but our bank and RL money too.

What I remember most of you was how you run the group you was leading. Oh the symmetry cyandide! Do you remember the symmetry? It was beautiful, it could bring a tear to the eye, it was like watching a blend of action and art. I swear the oneness of the group made me feel like I was practicing Tai Chi in the middle of the park on a warm summers day.

Though you ruined your good name on Deso you managed to rise again on Blacktide where i hoped to meet you, kill you and teabag you. Hope you are doing well Cyanide, see you on the battlefield (while holding my wallet)

I’m quite happy with Smokee on the SoR borderland for Blackgate. Also, Boulderbolg never turns his icon on but always makes very sound decisions and leads a group well. No reason to troll or flame in a thread like this, it was started with a positive attitude. I will say however that this type of thread would be better placed on individual server sub-forums (that we don’t have cough).

To hard to say on AR, way to many commanders, the tag has basically lost meaning and is far to easy for anyone to get, it should have been part of a guild achievement or something.

A few stand out, Ronny Raygun, Two Gallants, Anvil Plants, Damasu (sp), Mufassa, Laney (sp). But as someone else said, for those 2-3 commanders that keep going to the JP and dragging half the new players to the NE part EB trying to get to you … turn your kitten tags off.

To the Meow, Os, TMT and TBCT Commanders in NSP.
That even though falling through the ranks have stuck with the server and stopped it from hitting rock bottom.

Although I don’t know all the other servers personally. This is extended out to those dedicated WvW guilds on dying servers that are making the best out of a bad situation

<3 to you all

Naming no names they range from -

Team Shatter Commanders! Wolfbain and The Illusion are my fave. and me but im no commander. I just want to put my name up here coz im egotistic and delusional.

My vote goes to the two best commanders out there… Nex and forever asleep from RUIN on blackgate… They have the best strategies out there and are the king of leading pugs to victory

Any commander who is friendly and doesn’t “mindlessly zerg” and takes some constructive criticism is a good commander.

Any commander who wipes time and again banging a door on SM with no siege and has an unfriendly attitude is not welcome.

I haven’t experienced any of those bad commanders on Sanctum of Rall, but I know they exist…

Not going to rate commanders, I will however mention two commanders who I personaly think does an outstanding job.

Carcasstro – Afterlife [AFTL] – Piken Square
- Guild commander but always motivating everyone on the bl to follow.

Bloodwyne – Piken Square
- One who gatheres every lost and lonely wvw soul and do wonders with the numbers he have at that given point. A boarderland commander worthy of his tag.

Every FoW WvW player knows Blue Perception he’s like, the best Commander of the server.

EA has some great commanders with Edgar, Drakk, and Akhen (the ones I’ve seen in EBG the most lately)

DUEL’s Cristin is always doing a good job.

WE and KREW (our newest brothers in arms xD) are very good as well. I haven’t many of their names yet but I know WE has Kappa The Kay and KREW always manages to take the BL before I can get there to see who was leading -.-

Anyways I think as a DB commander I can say the biggest Ty goes to those brave souls who follow us into battle! A good commander can work with small numbers, but only to a certain extent. So 10/10 to you guys!

I’m just gonna use the thread to show my respect to some commanders I admire ( and not to trash talk the ones I don’t)

My top 3:

[TW] Indo, first real commander Jade Quarry had (IMO of course :p). Really creative and fun to follow around. I now see guilds trying out things that he did 5 months ago (like cough placing catas at bay’s watergate cough).

[FIRE] Agress. One really cool guy, he was able to coordinate large groups of guildies and pugs together, and he was extremely effective in the battlefield. Too bad I came back from my finals and he was gone :C

[ESOL] Rawnoodles, now [EMP]. I remember following him around with a bunch of people in the very beggining and he only needed a LFG icon over his head to make that happen. Nowadays I would say he’s the most dedicated commander we have in the borderlands.

I would also add [KL] Velkeri. He’s the type of commander that does the dirty work like flipping supply camps, building siege, scorting yaks, upgrading stuff, and he always knew when to pin off. I wish we had more commanders like him to really promote teamplay and not just zerging around.

Neves.2905:

…Kill red stuff, knock down doors. It’s not science or even strategy, nerds. 10/10 for me, the best Commander of all…

There’s more to winning in WvWvW than following a massive zerg. It may not be science, but a good commander can make the difference between success and failure.

Camo.7498:

DUEL’s Cristin is always doing a good job.

I would be offended at being left out but I spend the very vast majority of my time Commandering by organizing defense in DB BL, and I honestly think I might spend more time in wvw with my tag off than I do otherwise ;D

I’m a commander of necessity, I show up and put my tag on when the map needs it. ;D

Also yeah, Cristin’s pretty ontop of things all the time.

Yes En, you do. Seems like when I first began playing WvW you commanded a good bit ( pretty darn good too I might add). Honest mistake since I haven’t seen your tag in a while!!
