Guild Wars 2

Hail all Warriors of Ring of Fire!

This is a call to arms because there is some knife-work that need doing and I want to have some fun.

I think for the past 2 months we were involved in some great match ups and even though most of the time we didnt end up as the winner, we got better on a weekly basis.

My guild attendance in wvw get better as well and we have small scale guild runs with 5-10 people on a regular basis now. I also tagged along on many runs, trainings and events of other guilds and had a blast.

But one thing we are still lacking, is a server wide event. A more or less coordinated one I mean, you could argue that the zerg of headless chickens that we field during some time during the day to follow a blue dorito is a server wide event as well.

So I would like to create a weekly event that draws a high participation from all guilds and other players and this what I came up with:

Every friday night I would like meet up with as many warriors from our server as possible, form a zerker-zerg and spread havoc in our enemies Borderlands.
I would like to know what our class is capable of in a big group and what counter tactics our enemies will come up with to stop us killing their dolyaks and curse their mothers.

How do you stop 50 Warriors with zerker builds killing your quaggans under water?
How much Hammer/Maces warriors do you need to play golf with the enemy zerg?
How many Leg-Specialists do you need to completely shut down all 6 entries to your Borderlands with arrow carts?
Can you take a fully upgraded SM with 10 Siege Warriors, 5 Banner Warriors, 5 DPS Warriors, 5 Ranged Warriors, 5 Condition Warriors, 5 CC Warriors, 5 Tank Warriors, 5 Buff Warriors and 5 Healie Warriors?
Whats the world record time for killing the grub?
Whats the world record time for killing the grub naked?
Can you build a Flame Ram Flipper Machine in front of the spawn point?

Lets find out, every friday night.
And somebody please call Guinness, I have no phone.

Why friday nights? If this becomes a successful event, some people might call us out for abusing certain mechanics to gain an advantage. And they might be right as we might be spamming certain tactics on them that they dont know how to counter.
On friday nights you have the match ups already decided most of the time, people are doing fight club, guild events or prepare for reset.
So whatever we do, doesnt have too much impact on the outcome of the match and we dont take the fun out of the game for enemies on a daily basis.
I would propably stop playing, if I had to face a zerg of 30 thieves every day for a couple of hours during prime time.

Depending on feedback, I would like to do 2 events this friday night, one 5 hours before reset (7pm CET) and one 2 hours before reset. I know some guilds also do their guild events on friday nights, so this might give them the chance to join one event or the other.
During each event we will attack one Borderland and see how far we get.

Hope you are all with me and thanks for any feedback.

Just a suggestion, organize such events in your server community forum. All your enemies know about it now

Its ok, reset night is a big night. Not exactly a shock

Hey look there’s lots of RoF. Thats… ‘new’.

Hey look, there’s lots of us too. Yay.

Fight fight fight fight fight. Happy times.

I might be around for reset this week. Might be in the pub.

I don’t speak for Bosko… er, Gunnars Hold but assuming we’re still in the same matchup, we’re happy to come to you’re event. No need to worry about us finding our way to you, I’m sure we’ll manage

I havent seen Forums on here dedicated to each server (they should really make some), so I posted it in the WvW Forum and linked it in the current match up thread.
If you mean community created forums dedicated to our server on another website, ummmm, I think we have one somewhere but I am not sure how frequently they are visited by the big guilds and other players. I think I visited the Ring of Fire Alliance Website once and I am more active here than there.
And I dont mind that our enemies know about it. Without you guys, wvw would be no fun. I am also interested in feedback to my idea from other players, maybe something like this was already done on other servers. Also after the event, I would like to know, what RoS and GH thought of it.
Those events are also planned before reset because after reset I, like anybody else, play wvw very competitively. So it will be definately you guys that will either drop our lootbags or make us all reroll a Thief.
If either RoS or GH want to join this event by rallying as much warriors as possible to stand against us, you are more than welcome. I will make sure to post here, which BL we gonna hit at which time.
Or we could combine it with the duel club that seems to usually go down on friday nights as well.
Maybe a three-way battle of warrior zergs for the island in the lake (Temple of Storms?)?
Let me know, if either server is interested.
