Guild Wars 2

So is that 9pm EST actually 8pm EDT (current time), or was that a typo and it’s actually meant to be 9pm EDT?

ArcTheFallen.7682:

Are we facing each other later today as well? I’m not sure how to check 3/1 matchups and I noticed we don’t have a thread for SBI yet :x

http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#NA Scroll down to “Next Matchup.” Best way to tell who you will be against next reset.

KinkyGiraffe.4123:

and we’re still in second?

Fight on IoJ!

Interestingly enough IoJ will be the only server out of this matchup gaining rating, as SBI and DR lose rating.

alcuin.1257:

I’m not discouraging you to voice your opinion, merely voicing a much rarer opinion on the forums which is a complete disagreement with all this anti-zerging discussion. It seems like from the very beginning there was this almost defacto attitude of superiority among the anti-zergers which is baffling to me.

I like you, let’s be friends.

Kyuzo.4675:

I hope that SBI can stay in the tier long enough to enjoy the fights but the scoring system might not allow for that because of their better timezone coverage.

The way their modified Glicko system works we will be together for awhile. We may be in something of a tier lock as SBI has been losing overall points despite having the highest matchup points last week. More reason to be civil to one another.

I don’t know that we have overall better time zone coverage. I could be wrong here but last I knew we didn’t have much “overnight” coverage.

I love winning, winning is fun. But I still think my favorite matchup was those two weeks against YB and CD, we lost handily both weeks. I don’t think they kittened about our tactics either.

WulfKaiser.7920:

The dev team has made public no intention to address this issue or even acknowledge it.

Yep. There have been so many of these threads asking for guild management tools and not a single Anet person has ever replied to any of them. There’s never once been a mention that this stuff will get added. It’s extremely disappointing.

Yams.6082:

I’m confused – is SBI supposed to build trebs in an open field?

We must take their advice and try this new tactic. Trebs just randomly all over the place! Surely we can convince Grundlebad to back this plan.

Gravy.7589:

If we move up a tier hope you all stick around.

We will not be moving up a tier, our glicko rating is actually going down.

That said, I don’t mind fair-weather friends, they’re better than no friends. People like to win and don’t like to lose, a simple generalization, but mostly true. Oftentimes the overall feeling and attitude of a losing server is not very much fun to be around.

Hubris.7039:

Missing you, SBI.

It took 3 posts for this week’s forum to turn into a kitten show.

Best of luck this week!

We miss you too! Apparently SBI is a horde server on this tier. Just one tier up and we were hilariously outmanned. But it’s all okay, we keep our chin up either way. Those couple weeks of matchup threads were the best.

It’s only 1800 gems to transfer to a very high pop world. The cost is pretty much in line with other popular MMOs. The nice thing here is that you have the option of farming in-game gold to turn into gems, in which case the cost is your free time, or transfer to a lower population world and the gem cost scales down.

Yeah, the spinning camera makes me seasick a little bit.

To summarize: SBI thinks DR has more people, DR thinks SBI has more people.

Gab Superstar.4059:

The difference in coverage and population is staggering between Tier 4 and Tier 5.

This. While SBI may look like we have large numbers to tier 5 (although it seems to me we are pretty matched with DR for numbers) in tiers 1-4 we were vastly outnumbered since the end of free transfers.

Last night (between 6pm and 1am eastern, when I was playing) we had some amazing fights on the SBI and DR BLs. Props to DR for some nailbiters and really pushing us hard to give it all we’ve got.

I must have missed the mention of guild halls. If so that’s pretty cool, but it doesn’t help me with guild management unfortunately.

I’d rather pay for repairs than waypoints, I use waypoints more often than I have to repair. (I’d rather not pay for repairs either, but if it’s choose one or the other…)

Several of my guildmates are absolutely convinced this is a bug and couldn’t possibly be something Anet would have intended. /sigh Nope… not a bug…

I doubt any of this will be added, even though most people want it. I’ve seen countless amazing suggestion threads for more guild tools go ignored since last summer.

Everyone working together is what makes it, but props are owed to Kiwi because they do great work. Nobody is going to notice little guilds like mine where maybe 5 of us do WvW, but that’s okay because we know we’re here.

I enjoyed the civility and mutual respect we had in the YB/CD matchup threads, hoping we can bring in some of that.

It looks like we’ll see you soon, IoJ. SBI is that “left over” server right now.

Gravy.7589:

What was SBI doing last night? As in NA prime time up till midnight est? Hmm we were holding down our borderlands, had our side of EB, while pushing SM a bit and we were running some havoc in CDBL. My kitten is confused.

When I logged off around 11:30pm est we had everything on our own BL. I mean, I guess we were doing nothing!

Lebannen.8325:

What I am doing is taking all of these so called forum warriors, in game genius commando’s, and all of the ‘Polly prissy pants’ blind rabid supporters and when we finally fall to tier 8 (What I have said all along) I am going to post the names, screenshots, and TS chat logs that said it wont happen. Then, I am going to make sure I find out, who is the hypocrite and transfers off the server then post their names as well.

That’s amazingly rude and unsportsmanlike of you. I’m guessing should this happen, it will be you who comes out looking like the kitten.

I’m also confused because all the interactions on the SBI forums are pretty much entirely respectful, and I’m not seeing any of this horrible conduct you are claiming on map/team chat or on TS.

This thread almost brings a tear to my eye after the match ups we’ve had the past month or so.

Keep being awesome YB and CD!

Tyrlis.8072:

Had some great fights on SBI BL tonight after reset working with EA, NAGA, and DC. Some of my guildies promptly recognized SBI’s All Out Assault from Aion, and I also remember seeing a decent chunk of SotB. This is going to be a much more balanced match, it will be nice fighting for something other than our own garrison.

/wave We’re enjoying ourselves so far tonight. SBI has had some morale issues, but AoA is having fun!

CD and YB are worthy adversaries.

It’s very annoying and clogs up the screen. At least give us the option to turn it on or off.

I’ve agreed with and +1’d nearly every single thread like this but there never seems to be any response.

I’m not at all good at jumping, but I do this one every day (due to the great source of karma). It usually takes me between 10-15 minutes. It’s worth it to me.

Got nothing at all again today. Yesterday I got the (IMO not as good) loot bag instead of the karma. Not a fan of this.

Lacechan.6524:

I got a reward today. How about you guys?

Yep, got mine today. I guess only one day being broken isn’t awful, but I really like those gulps of karma!

Yeah I did it again just now (still before reset, so would be my second time during this reset) and got 3 gifts.

Same. First time beaten since the daily reset and absolutely nothing in there. Merry Christmas to us.

Was disappointed about the armor previews being taken away. It’s hardly game-changing, but it was a fun and harmless element of the game that I enjoyed.

This would be extremely helpful for guild management.

I don’t have a problem with agony, I have a problem with the incoming gear grind it represents.

Just an update to say we are always looking for good people to join up with us and play GW2 (not to mention the other games our community is playing together).

History:

All Out Assault is recruiting! We got our start back in 1996 as an FPS clan, but over the years we’ve branched out into many of the major MMOs to hit the market and GW2 is no exception. With all of these games under one roof, we hope that AoA will be the last stop in your search for a guild, because when you join us for one game you are really joining our gaming community.

Now for some specifics, our gaming philosophy if you will. We like to call ourselves a casually hardcore community. This means we go into every game with a desire to have fun, play at our best and excel where we chose to excel; but we are also very understanding of real life situations. We hope you’ll have plenty of time to play with us, but if not, we’ll be here to go all out when you can join us. We also strive to maintain a no drama atmosphere—there is plenty of that in real life, and we’re all here to have fun, aren’t we?

Guild Wars 2 Division:

We have a general policy of all applicants being at least 18 years old, but that requirement can be waived if you show real maturity. All professions will be accepted and we are looking for players in all time zones. Lastly, we plan on having our hands in all things this game has to offer, everything PvE and PvP. So no matter what your focus, or if your interests change every week, we will have people here to support you.

If what you’ve read sounds appealing, join-us. Once you register, you can find more specifics about the clan as a whole as well as the goals and philosophies of our Guild Wars 2 division. Did I mention we have goats?

Recruitment Guidelines:

1. We are looking for players 18+
2. Members are expected and encouraged to use TeamSpeak 3as this is how we communicate.
3. Members are expected and encouraged to use the forums. Forum registration is mandatory
4. We are not an “alt guild” – if you join AoA the expectation is that your time will be spent with AoA. We expect players not to have characters in multiple guilds.

Go ahead and register on the website.

Urrahn the Hunter near Treacherous Depths in Mount Maelstrom is still bugged. Stormbluff Isle.

This has been bothering me since the betas. I feel a little underpowered losing an entire skill slot when I enter water. Asura, if it matters, but I doubt it.

Also bugged on Stormbluff Isle. I’d love to be able to finish this zone.
