Guild Wars 2

Starting a new thread so we have one by someone who hasn’t transferred away \o/

First for #magswag!

As to be expected on opening night, there was a good deal of action in and near SM. I don’t think we had seen this many Yaks before.

Good fights on Kain BL. I enjoyed the gigantic skirmish with Kain at N camp and the one with YB siege turtling up at SE camp.

Huge 3 way ZvZvZ in Garrison. I dropped my supply crate and got my monthly kills a minute later.

gj at wk on Kain BL. Glad to see you’ve learned to stop getting demolished by us open field by building a million arrow carts.

edit: looooooooool. Next we meet you open field between sw camp and sw tower, you instantly 180 and build an arrow cart in the camp and get wiped while stacked on it. This new game meta is kittening idiotic.

Thanks for finally coming out to fight WvW guild. Now if you would quit trying to stack and build arrow carts open field.

Sorry to hijack your matchup thread, but used to be Kaineng and follow the thread to see how Special K is doing. Had to +1 your edit – this new AC meta is just plain dumb. Glad T3 is fun – T2 is a good matchup as well.

So YB/KN, I’ve been seeing a lot of bush league guilds and such running around and hiding in towers/camps from smaller numbers. Then when they get the upper hand with 3-4:1 ratio, think they’ve accomplished something, when earlier we wiped them. Are there any good small 5-10-15 man roaming guilds left? Or has everyone just succumbed to zerging everything thing and following the blue icon?

Oh and sPvP is a joke, they ruined the play style there, and there’s no open “open world” environment.

to the kaning that chased me around the moat in west keep on mag bl for 20 min. i find it funny that y’all called in more and more guys till u finally killed me…was 10 at one point lol. i hope u all had as much fun as i did ;P

EVOH ranger.

Score update.

So that’s where all our people were…..no wonder we were so light on YBBL.

Wow, Kaineng still has a pretty sizeable SEA presence I guess

It was much like last weekend. Then 80% of their server quit playing by monday.

I really enjoy these repetitive posts that infer Mag only roams in small groups. You guys were rolling 80 deep in EB last night and the group in YBBL was close to that size. Not what I would call a small group but I digress, Mag only runs in small teams and every other server is made up of mindless zergers. Happy?

Mag also likes to fight open field without an endless wall of Arrow Carts around them because playing characters is more exciting than pressing 1.

The arrow carts are definitely ridiculous now. They are pretty much sucking the fun out of the game and the changes need to be reconsidered. I prefer to actually fight my opponents as well.

I like how you renamed the thread and pretend your server is any different. This was what I wanted to avoid most about falling tiers…mag-thumping. Troll bait chest thumping. Last thread was generally troll free, guess it’s hard to hold it in for longer than that lol

I’m just glad you guys got the term correct. I forgot which match-up it was, but some guy kept calling it chest-bumping… Though I guess if Mag was the server of chest-bumping, there would be a lot less crying.

No more than 10 AC !

Sigh Saiyr please upload the Kain BL videos I want to see more of Kaineng dying while trying to siege creep us repeatedly.

Wondered why it was always green from reset to when I got off. GJ FBA

Just wait until Monday when most of KN has decided to stop playing and Mag takes the lead again. No more chest-thumping then

Also, ACs are redonk. Apparently the key to playing WvW right now is to take a keep early, put 2 ACs on each gate, and sit on it alllllllllll night long. So much fun it hurts.

Please, just stop whinning.
During the reset in MGBL we stayed with your Hills for 8 hours straight…AND we used no more than 10 AC, 2 Cats, a Treb and people willing to die (if you think 10AC is a lot to defend a whole keep, go back to Age of Empires, where u can storm a castle with archers…).
Ohh, yeah, we called reinforcements (we are a team after all) when you came with your Omega Golems, 3 Trebs and a 40+ zerg against 15+ defenders in hills…it was marvelous to see u jumping from the cliff not to get wiped:

Impressive. I’ve heard east keep is a really difficult keep to hold.

Well, we took it from you…=P

Well done I’m sure it helped that all of our major guilds felt like going offensive on reset. But still, taking a keep is always a big accomplishment.

KN did spend enough time in t2 to know how home borderland works with 3 even sides, right?

To the mesmer i fought on the base of vista hill. It was a good match up. Too good. I think that fight couldve gone on for hours…

GJ on reset KN…again. Let’s try and maintain the lead. If only I had time to get in the game…grrr….

Oh and don’t poke the Mags please. Last week’s thread, although extremely slow, was nice and peaceful.

I wonder what happened to Mag. Reset for the past few months usually was our strongest time, now its our worst?

AsmallChicken.9634:

That’s not been true for months. The people we have on reset are the same people we have every weekday, which is why we gain during the week. We had outmanned on 3 borderlands just 4 hours after reset, and had to basically give up 1 borderland pretty soon after reset.

We’ve lost reset/weekend for the last… 6-8 resets? It’s not that big of a deal. WvW is a measure of how many people are online for your server.

QFT

You see the same names in WvW all week long on Mag. We don’t have a super inflated weekend/reset crew, although sometimes I wish we did. Would make things easier tbh.

I know that basically D|ERP is tired of defending Mag BL. When certain guilds get tied up on homeland defense we end up with little offense to pressure the enemy Borderlands so we leave it to the militia now. It’s just more fun.

If you think your server isn’t taking advantage of Arrow Carts like everyone else, it’s your choice to ignore that.

Mags, if you want open field come EB. Last night you guys were the ones turtling with arrow carts all night even though your zerg was scary as hell. Dont blame Kain BL and Mag BL for not fighting, their priority is to hold what they can with what numbers they have and they did a great job.

FBA you guys are heroes giving Mag such a hard time last night, big props! Also everyone defending KainBL, I cant believe you held onto our towers so well. Sick job!

At least on reset night, Kain doesn’t even need WM, RISE, CO xD

KN did a great job during reset this week and i hope everyone agrees a much as AC need a buff what we have now is kitten

fyi i hope yaks had fun hunting for me in East Keep ^.^

You wanted to avoid it, but it seems you couldn’t resist? Also, I can’t help but notice you weren’t in the last thread~

Cause it was a fairly troll-free thread so there was no need

C’mon, guys, you’ve been matched up with is for a little bit now. You know we’re all about that chest-pounding. It’s part of that Maguuma spirit!

I’m glad Kaineng seems to have their crap together for at least the weekend. Last week during the week was pretty boring.

It’s not holding structures with arrow carts that really bugged our group as much as arrow cart creeping almost every time we fought after a certain time in the night. It was kind of ridiculous. It didn’t happen last week that I saw, even after the buff. New meta bad meta. It’s like they’re the new creep colony, zerg can’t move forward without one. I don’t know if we were doing it too in other maps, but if so I am a sad panda.

We did go to EBG briefly to recap some lost territory, but we don’t like EBG for various reasons as mentioned in the previous thread.

Edit: By the way, I should say thanks to the WvW guild on Kaineng for not doing it [as much?] at the end. We had a fun open field fight outside SW camp.

Almost none of the organized guild in mag go to eb, we hate it. It’s a zerg fest wherever you go. You guys ran into 80 of us in eb? well, its eb what do you expect? And to defending east keep with arrow carts and a few other pieces of siege, you did get the patch notes for arrow carts right? also, you guys called for RE to come in and help you out a few times easily outnumbering our guys on our own bl to help you defend so no it wasnt just siege and a few people it was more than that. You also took east keep becaue the majority of our player hadn’t even gotten into our bl by the time you got to inner, and there were only about 10-20 of us there after you went to inner. After a little while we had a little bit more people but had to make the decision to leave east keep since it had no supply and yaks was getting awful close to our garrison. Oh, and nice try taking Garrison (thats what happens when we actually have people defending).

Mag has been carting up outside Ogrewatch and inside Pang every morning on EBG during the late nights/early mornings on the weekdays since the patch. Every server is doing it and will most likely continue to do so if ACs remain in their current state. There aren’t any white knights leaving their arrow carts at home in this matchup.

Sieging up Pangloss is different and we’ve done that since the launch of GW2. Chokepoints make it an easily defended camp with or without the buff. Sad that we’re creeping siege outside of Ogrewatch though.

So, it’s Arrow Cart Wars 2 now? Might wanna call Arrow Carts Anonymous for that.

The AC meta has caused a shift. Your late night players weren’t sieging up pang with 15 people and 5 ACs to fight an outmanned crew before the patch, and they definitely wouldn’t have broken off from an open ground fight in the ogre camp to do so before the patch. The guys that remain in the ogre camp build maybe one cat/treb an hour for hours on end with 5+ ACs, so it appears they’re just trying to draw a fight into their killzones, not take the tower.

It’s not necessarily a bad thing since it’s more action than we’re used to seeing in the middle of the weeknights. It’s just something different. The bag farming has been working out well for both sides I assume since they keep doing it and we keep showing up to “defend” even though there’s never any real attempt to take the tower (I won’t complain with 200-300 badges a night).

Today, I’ve ran into two open field fights where 10-15 players from both our sides were in the open on EB. ACs were built. There isn’t a single server that’s not using ACs to gain an advantage when the opportunity presents itself. There are individual players on all three servers that choose not to use ACs for anything other than defense, but that doesn’t mean we can pretend like everyone on our servers play the same way.

Edit: I’m yet to see a Mag guild raid use ACs in open fighting if that’s any consolation.

I hate the AC’s and becouse of it i can’t take WvW seriously untill they fix wat is obviously broken.

To YB, good fights on your BL during reset, had a lot of fun in open field

@Farout.8207 Assuming someone speaks for the entire server is a little ignorant. I don’t only roam though. I have, on occasion, ran with a random zerg to take a keep or when the guild is getting together with 20+ to do some damage. However, running around and spamming the number one key and trying to tag as many targets as I can requires little skill.

@Strippling.2524 No one is claiming to be “too leet” for you guys. But, it does take, at a minimum, 2:1 odds for you guys to win most fights.

Here’s a video of what I was talking about though. Two Mags chased five Yaks into a camp. They wouldn’t leave to come out and fight. So, we went and flipped the Dredge to try and kill them

http://youtu.be/mPm-iTqLYWs

Well we finally lost Mag Hills. It was fully upgraded too. Mag came in with 40+ and a golem in the end. Then there was the portal bomb in the lord’s room. But we put up a heroic defense. Kudos to FBA for holding Hills for nearly 24 hrs and to iWAR for a good fight.

yep good hold ^.^ but we didnt need portal bomb to get into lords room i ran in just fine

Thinking that I believe someone speaks for their entire server is a little ignorant in itself. Everyone runs with the Zerg at times and that is exactly my point, but most people don’t get on the forums and act like it is some exclusive behavior of their opponents.

I personally never run from fights but I will admit that I lose some and I win some. I even got beat by an up-leveled player once. Maybe one day, if I really work hard, I can elevate my game play to the level of the average Mag player. Then it will take at least two opponents, maybe three, to beat me. I’ll keep practicing!

I just have simple words to say after all this hours, THX ! FBA members, allys and Maguma guys to make my friday and saturday really funny.
