SoR/Blackgate/Mag 11/08/2013 Gold week 4
Also perhaps someone from Mag can explain how the ability to follow the commander’s instructions and move and attack as a co-ordinated unit, combined with the commander’s ability to position his force and know when to charge != skill in blob vs blob engagements
Because pushing forward with guardian staff 1 and relying on the fact that skill autos always keep going in skill lag is not skill…
Because pushing forward with guardian staff 1 and relying on the fact that skill autos always keep going in skill lag is not skill…
I only get skill lag on the really big engagements so there’s usually a lot more to large scale fights for me than pressing 1.
The skill set focuses less on micro level counterplay and skill rotation and more on organization, coordination and teamwork.

Right, and bashing 1 while following a cool ranch dorrito is something made easier to do by being under the influence.

There’s really more to it than that but ok.
A lot of BG guilds do not do GvG, they prefer unstaged open field fights. Your best luck would be PLX or maybe OnS on Thursday or Friday when the score is determined.
All I hear is “we like blobbing.”

Goodjob Sor and Mag.. really glad to see and hear about another group of skilled guilds and players like those on Mag are laughing and realizing how weak BG is.

Moar bags, watch out for that 15 man Mag blob -http://youtu.be/x7dohXUWKAo
Also we have 2 GvG’s so far this week with SoR but none with BG. Would hate to not get one with BG after doing so much PPT just to get into Gold so we could play against T1 guilds.

Score was determined on reset, you don’t need a margin in leagues just to be 1st.
Against Mag yes, but we don’t want to underestimate SoR or any T1 servers and will only consider the score is determined when a clear victory is guaranteed against them.
I’m loving the roaming so far despite being constantly double teamed by stun spamming warriors from bg and be 3v1ed by thieves spamming 2.

OHHHHH God…. Total 160 bag slots keep filling up… I’m out of room – I need MORE MERCHANTS, Kyra! SoR Garri is too much fun tonight – I’m never sleeping.

Oh please, you know as well as the rest of us that you can take SoR in a ppt race. When it comes to holding SoR’s garrison tho ur on equal footing.
Best. Night. EVER!!! Thanks for the fun, SoR / BG!
Best part was that I had fraps running the whole time (forgot to turn it off)…. oops – hahahehe

SoR is best farm NA.

Pretty much this. All I hear is “we’re going to deride it because we’re not good enough to do it”.
Impressions thus far are that this week should be pretty decent for roaming. I haven’t been blown away by the challenge, but at least there’s a reasonable number of small scale fights.
RIOT and oPP were the guilds I was looking forward to fighting, and there were mixed results. RIOT seems pretty decent; should get a few fights out of them. oPP, well, I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume the engi I fought today isn’t representative of the guild as a whole.
Perhaps the fights would be better if you didn’t run off to reset or gank with a condi ele + thief

you aren’t really into fights that much either. I mean there’s literally 0 scouts inside of any of your structures lol…
Tower hugging scouts = fights
#T1You have a point, you can’t have scouts if you don’t own anything. :/
Best post of the day lmao

PVE can require skill if it’s difficult enough. It’s just a totally different skillset than the one PvPers develop.
Different toolsets for different obstacles.

The one fight we had where you didn’t gank me with your iLL condi ele buddy, or the 7k mid-fight backstab I caught during the second, you turned around and bolted with 30% hp and reset.

Wait what? How in the world did you convince yourself you got outnumbered? The early fights were 2v2s, and then I killed you 2-3 times completely solo, even when you had help from a mesmer. Like when you tried to 1v2 me and I left and you /laughed, then you followed me south a bit, and as soon as the second guy left I turned around and flawless ko’ed you. Did I have help there too?

Different toolsets for different obstacles.
Requires reactions, reading of tells, and knowledge of class mechanics. Pretty similar skill set to PvP. You actually learn more valuable tools by playing PvE than you do by running around in a blob.

Maybe to you who are not familiar with T1 fights. Just in the second week since League starts BG came back from an almost 20k deficit on the weekend. And before that happened, many people also believed that SoR was surely going to win the ppt race in that week.
If you are interested I can give you several more examples of a perceived weaker T1 server came back from a big deficit and actually took the win, some times even on the last day.

Fuzzy memory you seem to have. That, or selective, anyhow. The “2v2” you speak of I jumped in on to help out a warrior you were gangbanging with the iLL ele, and he was downed as soon as I entered the fight – in case you weren’t aware, a 2v1 into a second 2v1 doesn’t constitute a 2v2.
The times you killed me “solo” were:
1 – Beat me by the drakes. That was your fight, fair and square – as I would expect, considering this is the first day I’ve been roaming with this build.
2 – I was backstabbed for 7k mid-fight by a Mag thief.
3 – By the eagle raptors, I unloaded on you and dodged your immob + earthquake, you ran away towards the rock at 30% hp using blink + RTL to break combat, reset, and then came back and beat me with my cooldowns having been burnt. Classy.

I tried to set up some duels at windmill on red map last night, there was a maguuma ele there. Wanted to give those guys a good welcome. Whispered everyone I had on my friendslist that roams, to try and get some people down there. We had an ok amount, but it was mostly BG and SoR.

Lol. Sounds like a bunch of excuses for getting beaten until you wouldn’t take a step out of cannon range. Any running away I did from you was because you were hugging the kitten out of your tower and getting constant reinforcements and siege backup. Like that fight by the rock, the one where I ran away at 30%? You seem to be leaving out the mesmer add.
It was a high traffic area, there were adds on both sides, but at the end of the day, you got kitten on harder than a German porn star after Oktoberfest.

Easy tiger, you’re making up more and more as this discussion goes on. We were fighting by the eagle raptors to the east of SW camp sentry, and you tucked your tail and popped all of your escapes to reset the fight. The mesmer came in after you had reset the fight, except I have only a single, 1-condi clear – and you have ether renewal. You cleansed my condis while my health ticked down to 1/2 and yours reset.
Blame the cannon that was on you when you and your buddies were camping outside of the tower and I downed two of your thieves, blame lag, fabricate circumstances, do whatever you have to do. Just as long as you feel better, champ.
