Guild Wars 2

xvalkyrie.6742:

might be three groups of twenty

Its called voltron.

3 guilds on a map coordinating against a server that can only field one guild.

Coming from FA player, I want to say good game to SoS, TC, JQ and Mag. I hope for Mag that they drop down and have equal fight with other servers.

Time for my little rant :

Altho I “kinda” enjoyed the outnumbered fights (god knows there were a lot of those against SoS, TC and JQ) vs pug commander or organized guilds, it always made me sigh when we were having a good fight and then suddenly a bigger group showed up and assjammed us. I know I know, loot bags. But still, it killed it a bit for me and proved once again that numbers rule it all.

Also, coverage wars.

Meh it happens to all sides. PvP was at our garrison last night looking for fights, your 20? vs like 10 Rx? with a side helping of WS and then TLC to add some jam. Main pug zerg was on EBG trying to keep FA voltron in check which eventually had to come back to homebl to help.

To be fair, PvP passed up a golden opportunity to jam South of Bay when Tyryon pushed in and they were literally around the corner.
Respect!

How are JQ and BG doing queue wise. On TC, there are queues of course on reset night, but after that, every server is pretty much open. Is it the same on JQ and BG? I’m surprised that more people aren’t playing during the tournament.

BG has a queue on like one map at any time if that after reset night. Last night there were no queues for a while until TC started showing up to fight then whatever map they went to got a queue. And, from what I saw I’d imagine it was the same for TC or at least close, it was quite the force that came in to take our Hills, lots of fun though.

I think one of the TC guys troll comments the other night has a ring of truth in it, “operation bore them to death is in full effect”

I must’ve missed this, being too busy fighting MMA+TB+EA+pugs at SMC. At the time, there was RAGE and my militia group of probably 30-35, with 5-10 of those squirreling around not really active in the fights. That kittenjam was real. Yeah, yeah, MMA only had 15, TB 10, and EA somewhere in between 10-15, but add those up, plus pugs? RAGE also ended rally rather early (11ish EST), so then it was my militia group versus those three guilds. Voltron against whom? Had a blast though, tons of fun.

Anyways, to refocus the topic, it was a fun season for as much as I played, though I would’ve loved to experienced it without playing (or not playing, in reality) Mag every week. It was basically a 1 v 1 every week for FA and the other servers. However, I was rather surprised how well we fared all things considered.

Cheers to those we fought TC, JQ, SoS, Mag. BG, we never had the pleasure but I’m sure it would’ve been a brawl when our numbers were actually on.

Last night in EBG I saw Rage + pugs together, Bomb, Covn. SoS had Luvpie ranged pugs and TB/EA running together I think, mostly 9-11pm est, don’t remember seeing mma maybe that was earlier. I got video of some of the fighting, even got a chance to pull a moa off on Tyryon XD Neither side held back just a good ole fun brawl.

Later on, Bomb had moved to sosbl but weren’t there for long, after that mostly Pvp, WS, TLC, but mostly pvp ws harassing garrison by taking the north towers. Pvp looked like they were there for fights, Ws looked like they were just there to jamgank and get easy bags, plus poke at se garri a couple times, which lead to their deaths.

Wouldn’t mind matching up against T1 again, they can easily break our borderlands if they wanted to, but it’s fun fighting those blobs (when you have a force to match it at least lol).

Haha! I would get burned at the stake in TC for saying so, but it is good for us for BG to flip our keep/garrison once in a while. The fight is always intense and it keeps us busy trying to rebuild. It’s the only time we put much thought into defense.

[Wish I had a video of that NA morning in EB…TC was in Valley Keep. I don’t remember where BG was except all over our kitten. To make a point, I guess, they took Langor, built three or four trebs in it, trebbed down both outer and inner walls and tortured us in the broken shell of the lords room for about two hours. We weren’t bored.]

Yeah, I think the response when something like that happens has often been “well at least we have something to do while the map is empty” which unfortunately has been far too often on BGBL the past 2 weeks.

I like many, love a good fight regardless of the outcome, especially one that’s not against a force that’s hugging arrow carts.

When multiple guilds push one it doesn’t constitute a ‘good’ fight. Spamming the commander in PM’s (which is the new BG meta) to come fight is just silly.

I play during SEA hours, and BG definitely has the numbers advantage over us (TC) at that time. Still, I reckon we gave a good showing of ourselves. We have to do a lot of map hopping to reinforce key objectives that are in danger of falling. (Unfortunately, this also means we rarely have the manpower to capture new territory because we’re always stretched trying to defend what we have.)

I do wish that Week 4 had been a different match-up though. Us, JQ and SoS probably would have made for a really intense, close fight. I was quite impressed with how SoS held up last week.

xvalkyrie.6742:

I think what they mean is on BG the guilds usually run tagless except reset nights, so each individual group is typically outnumbered because the other servers (TC and JQ) will all run together.

In ocx time JQ is in smaller groups and BG and TC are both grouped in large blobs.

Don’t get me wrong, to me a good fight is a fight that is more than a one push or more than just an assjamming with a follow through clean up. There have been plenty of good fights this season, much props to a lot of people out there, Had some good fights from every server I saw. Saw I think it was JQ IX guild tonight had a good pug vs guild going, their guild was solid we got a few down but they really sustained, we luckily had a waypoint nearby to draw out the fight but eventually we backed off. Was a fun time though and props to them.

And, yes, I think it would have been interesting to see JQ/TC/SoS throwing BG down for a week we would have at least seen some new faces, not all bad, not really fair to mag/FA but hey, no t1 going down to t2 is fair so /shrug. We’d just have some fun seeing new fights nothing wrong with that.

also, I will shoot you with lots of acs and trebs.

The more people, especially commanders, say they hate that, the more I do it.

Ehh, do it all you want in an objective defense, but as far as open field, all you’re doing is pushing them away from the battlefield, any smart player will simply back out of range. It’d just be nice if we could get some nice open field fights without it is all.
