Guild Wars 2

You are under a misconception or were fed misinformation. We have not driven off a large group of guilds. 2 Na guilds left, one of which didn’t play PPT to begin with (some of us knew this group was going to leave months in advance) and the other, we have many friends in and still talk to on a regular basis left not to chase PPT but for other reasons that are privy to them and their associates. SoR doesn’t have an identity crisis, we are capable of doing both as we have done for months. And please note that I speak for only myself on this matter. As just another player, I don’t particularly care if PPT or non-PPT guilds fill our off-hours. If my fellow server mates have a group to follow and play with, then it is a win.

I am no server leader, guild leader or community leader but just another rallian of SoR. I won’t speak negatively of BG or JQ (which was my home server for 8 months). As far as organization goes, all three are top notch and have their own respective communities. But, I am glad to call SoR my home server that I will be on to the bitter end should there be one. It is the first server I’ve been on that does not discriminate on the field or within the community. Whether you are a PPT or no-PPT player or if you happen to be both, it does not cause friction here, you have the freedom to do what you want and there are guilds that will help and empower you to do so.

Personally speaking, I don’t play for the tick. I go out to get good fights from good opposition that includes the likes of OnS, ZN, HB, SF, EE, Apex, HzH, Bro, Pro, Agg, etc. I play a variety of timezones, mostly NA Prime but very often SEA, EU, OCX as well. If any guild should join us outside of Na Prime, I personally suggest you come here because you want to get fights, dive into larger numbers on a regular basis without hesitation. I would like to see coverage filled in these areas for the sake of my dear off-prime players having fellow friends and allies to play with, to be able to enjoy the kind of fights we in the EST timezone are privileged to have. If that is the kind of deal you are looking for, to be part of a community that is dedicated to fighting regardless of whether we’re written off as dead and broken, to be a part of a tenacious pool of individuals in T1, then I would say to you, weigh your options carefully. Look at SoR if you are interested.

Seconded. I am now thoroughly convinced that we need to move where there is no prattling on about carebear etiquette in a PvP section where rivalry keeps things interesting. I also like the idea of seeing all the chesthumpers with their avatar of choice so I can keep a visual image when I kill them in-game and chesthump in my own head.

Because you’ve been a naughty naughty boy with those flame rams…

I’m drunk and alone at work so here we go again…

Happy Hic Merryolidays.

So, where are we going as a WvW community? GW2Guru? New site altogether?

Bad timing perhaps? There was a 3 way Battle Royale Weds night in OS. Other nights I’ve seen plenty of action in open field from Apex, OnS, EE, SF, Icoa, BFD, just to name a couple.

Thanks for the GvG [EE]! Those were some very good fights, until next time!

Thanks for the GvG [SF]! Looking forward to seeing you again in the future.

Also, awesome 3 way server brawl after the GvG, was a load of fun. We should make this a weekly cross server brawling event!

Not enough Jedsus Chris in the new template. :/

Okay, so let me get this straight. RET is a GvG focused guild and because they field 7-10 or whatever a night, their members including the 3 in those screenshots are never allowed to run with FEAR or with a group of server mates even when they’re not raiding, or if they happened to be split from their RET group? If a single RET tag is found in any zerg regardless of reason that suddenly invalidates what they strive for and do for their official raids? If some of their members happen to be running back to their 5-7 or w/e man group but ends up in a ball of other SoR players on his or her way there that totally invalidates what RET is doing as a guild?

GG. Nitpicking if I ever saw any. Lord help us all if suddenly one FEAR tag shows up in the middle of a Choo raid. LOOK, LOOK, CHOO BLOBBING WITH FEAR. SEE, I SEE ONE FEAR TAG THAR.

Just my attempt to read PPT shenanigans (which is not my forte by any means). BG knows that after the weekend is over, SoR won’t be able to maintain its current pace, as a result BG is more inclined to hit JQ and play the map since JQ might be able to overtake them while SoR won’t even with the slight lead we have over JQ right now.

Interesting. I was at work the entire evening and just got home, it would seem I missed the opportunity to fight this new [BDF]. Looking forward to crossing paths in the future.

It’ll be interesting and fun to see Apex field 15-25 while keeping the same quality as you do now, or better (I for one believe playing better today than yesterday is something that any “open field regular” should be cognizant of). I personally have fun fighting you guys and look forward to a more leveled field when we clash in the future hopefully.

Congratulations Blackgate on maintaining your winning streak after leagues, well done JQ on a very close match, well fought second place and good showing from my fellow rallians, we have work ahead of us but it would be boring otherwise.

If we get the same match up against next week, TW will be looking for 20v20s, officials or scrims, matters not. Message Zorh, Indo Xx or Crimson Ex.

[SF] Sylvari Force…. please take Zorh. We don’t like Trees in TW.

What Bashido is referring to are the TW+Pug strikes on noob isle and other portions of the fight by spawn tower. That was 20 TW + 10-15 non-TW.

^Post above mine explains as well.

Regardless, I think we all come out winners because from the sound of it, we all had a kitten good time and kitten good fights.

Somewhat.

15char.

[TWL] was the recruitment roster. We have no use for it anymore which is why you don’t see any.

There’s also one secret Indo has been hiding from everyone. He played a fully geared 80 ranger on JQ but lost a duel to a HoD uplevel and since then his hatred for the class has continued to spiral out of control, sucking every guild and server into his life quest of making Anet take the class out of the game altogether.

Tuesday weather forecast on SoR: Slight drizzle across the ruins but 80 TW can be found having fun with their rain boots on splashing little puddles as they take their entire TW map zerg to chase down one uplevel ranger.

Rumor has it that Waha was spotted on SoR TS with server op perms and ccoms on for a very long time this morning. He was seen idling in the TW channel. Theories include that Indo afk ’d Waha, hard.

SgtJanitor,

You guys were fun too. I have a feeling that 15 TW and 15 APeX duking it out open field would be a pretty good time. Looking forward to it.

That was really fun in sunnyhill on JQBL. Props JQ, we had a blast I hope you guys did too!

SgtJanitor.3164:

Had a great time on SoRBL.

At first, FEAR/TW and SF had no shame in blobbing hard, but once the GvG started we had great fights against TW, Nude, and FEAR with our little 10man.
After the GvG, SF got a little less bloodthirsty and stopped zerging us too :P

All in all, good fun. Thanks for the numerous fights, Nude.

Dunno how we could have been “blobbing” before the GvG… We were all prepping and going over GvG material..and the map was outmanned when we joined it…

You crazy drunk bacca, dont’cha know anything and everything is a blob these days?

I was there when Apex was sitting at the rock, pretty sure we went at you guys solo before we pulled off to watch Choo and then attend our own GvG. Still, good fights at the rock Apex!

MaLeVoLenT.8129:

I want to thank Choo and TW for the GvGs last night. Thanks for the fights!

Thanks for the GvG last night as well!

WTB videos of bashido dying to uplevel rangers.

Good times last night in Hills and North camp of BG BL. We wanted to dance some more but you guys vanished after a while. Thanks for the lewt though, that condi duration food is expensive but you guys just paid for another 4 days worth in an hour of fighting. <3

Hobbitz.5831:

KISS = Merged with other guilds
DIE = Temp Vacation (oh my, so controversial. The entire server knows, as if this is the first time a guild had ever gone to a different server for a vacation right?)
RISE = Shadowing TW, Choo, until Jarvan returns (gone to sort out IRL for a while)
IRON = wrex out sick (And the server wishes her a speedy recovery and look forward to her return)
FEAR = ace getting educated so he can destroy with surgical precision, dgins unbanned
TW = The website is old and it hurts my eyes. We know, the old emperor isn’t the most talented at website design. We know.

Hire, GC and Hel have to be getting tired of carrying the server.

Fixed that for ya.

Many of us have been playing for a good time now. The simple matter is, tier 1 has always fluctuated. HoD dominated for weeks. SoS dominated for weeks. JQ had one of the longest winning streaks ever if not the longest (too lazy to double check atm). Point is, each server has its highs and downs. It’s been JQ vs BG vs SoR for a very long time now and I doubt that’s going to change anytime soon. Small guilds, big guilds, individuals, they come and go between servers. It’s nothing new.

My fellow Rallians, last week was rough and who knows what the future might hold. However, we can make sure one thing doesn’t change. We go out there, we fight, tooth and nail, whether it’s for PPT or for the fights, or whatever reason YOU may have, go out and kick some mother kittening kitten . I fought against you for many weeks my fellow Rallians, you never gave up, you never backed down, you always fought. Looking at SoR from the other side of the fence I always held admiration and now that I’ve been on SoR for a couple months, that feeling has grown. Let us enjoy each other’s company, let us continue banging on the doors, sending our enemies running for the hills, win or lose, don’t ever stop fighting and don’t ever be disheartened. We will overcome all opposition, whether it’s tomorrow or 20 weeks from now. Count on it, fight for it.

Roamed a lot tonight, had a lot of good fights. Special shout out to that warrior from EE. If we kept going it would have probably taken another 5 minutes for one of us to get downed. I feel bad about the TC ranger that jumped in the middle of the fight and ended up as another unfortunate casualty. Not nice when you disturb 1v1s!

eithinan.9841:

If Anet doesn’t change the schedule, I would like to be the first to offer congratulations to JQ for their hard earned Victory of Gold League.

Ol’ chap, even when the far seas split us, I will continue to lead the opposition against you and your declarations. Some things don’t change, eh? :P

Good times on BG BL tonight. Great match-up to start off the league with the big 3 reunited. Even with that horrid lag, let’s tango.

I am convinced that Indo has held some dirty laundry over Dego’s head and forced him to play his account. No man can afk that much and get that many kills. Impossiburu.

the day where BG and SoR “2v1” JQ?
we can only imagine. shudder

XDDD

BG has Firebat, TKG, some of our EU guys and Noodles and SoR got Aco and Ward.

So, basically you already transfered us 2v1.

Firebat is not on BG

Oh, my apologies. I only saw a Fire tag between all those ESOL and that seemed to make sense.

FIRE as a guild hasn’t moved from DB. There’s a chunk still on DB but we officially go unofficial in 2 weeks if that makes sense so we’re spreading out between servers. Not surprised if you did see one as I know there are at least 7 ex-FIRE on BG, a couple down in SoS and about 20+ on SoR repping various guilds. Next time we roll in force will be in ArcheAge Online. But until then, good fights BG and JQ!

We must have JQ/DB/Mag and get it to 99 pages!

I have returned from the mists, and after much contemplation in the shadows I have been forcibly shown the light! The one true enemy is indeed JED QUARRY AND HIS JEDMEN. I will now relinquish all my assets, including my self-proclaimed title as Lord Tyrannical Tyrant of Dragonbrand and once more the opposition party will throw it’s full support behind Lord Eithinan. We shall put our differences aside for we of the opposition now agree that the vile Jedmen had led us astray. For indeed, the gentlemen of [RIPE] and [DSL] made a compelling case. We all wish for the most glorious PvF, and so we will now shaft ourselves less and refocus all efforts on following our glorious one true leader, Lord High Chairman Dictator of Dragonbrand, Eithinan and his trusted squire Lenador!

ALL HAIL EITHINAN!

I tried to take them, I did. But then the popos threw me behind bars. Apparently eating quaggans is a crime.

PRAISE JEDSUS!

The morning light woke the opposition leader, Lord Tyrannical Tyrant Crimson of Dragonbrand. Something stirred within his loins as he fondly recalled his memories of the Jed Quarry and indeed he did miss fighting opponents of overbearing might. The Tyrant had grown weary of leading the charge against the Lord High Chairman Dictator of Dragonbrand, Eithinan, for after winning his election with no opposition, he has failed to upkeep his promise of sending Dragonbrand into complete oblivion. Never before had he faced an opponent of eithinan’s lackluster caliber. The dictator’s failure to sabotage the server weighed heavy on the Tyrant as it forced him to do all the work the Dictator had promised. The times where the Tyrant would simply sit idle and watch fellow friends back stab and decapitate each other had long passed. And so, inspired by the Holy Church of Jedsus Chris of Saturday Feints, the Tyrant set off to…

Oh the hell with this. How the hell does that guy do it? His kitten if friggin’ gold, I miss that guy and his walls of text.

The ban is a short one and will expire soon. Whether it’s justified or not I can not say as I was not there at the time. However, if anything like that happens again and you (or anyone for that matter) feels it’s unreasonable, please post it on the DB forums or send me a message in-game or on the DB forum and I will investigate. It’s the better option as many of us operators don’t come read these match up threads often unless Mag is involved. :P

If I’m not available, there are other server moderators such as Gama, War Sock and Epi. As far as this incident is concerned, I will check the circumstances behind it when I can get a hold of the people involved.

Each omega made with secret sauce and tender love by FIRE, TSR, rB, and friends. <3

PS: Glad to see you Mags again. That thread last week was glorious, 95% of my lurking was in JQ/FA/Mag instead of DB/CD/SoS. Hail to that thread, it was legen-wait for it-DARY.

Thanks for the GvG [SIC], looking forward to the next one.

/salute

Shout out to rB, ALS, and GODS for the amazing run yesterday that spanned from EU Prime to NA Prime and everyone else that followed. Dat group synergy we had going tickled my fancy. That tick during EU Prime was ridiculous considering it’s our weakest slot. I’d also like to thank SG, HzH, SF, VwV and others for the fights that spanned across JQBL and DBBL yesterday. Good times, looking forward to the rest of the week.

Word. Send me a mail in-game and we can set up a time to talk about Dragonbrand’s specialty sandwich made by 100% all natural [FIRE] ingredients and maybe about the game and DB too but…. sandwiches and beer mostly.

It was like 70 roars last night on TS when FIRE got in and ended up on JQBL. The chatter was a bit deafening for a good minute or two. Fun fights last night from FA and JQ. Hello again SF and EMP.

Gotta log now but shout out to pk and rekz. That was one hell of an awesome fight at spawn in Ebay BL. Team Bloodbath has been looking for an awesome fight for the last two hours and you deliver.You guys are making us actively improve our timing, much appreciated.

Fun fights so far on DB BL. EB <3 from [FIRE]

Shout out to the guy from [PRO] that was following [FIRE] around while we were drunk and in yak form in EB having our yak race. Always tickles my fancy when peeps from other servers chill with us when we conduct our shenanigans. Thanks for not attacking.

Man, we must be drunk out of our minds. Might need to tone down our drunk & naked nights. I guess all those RE, FIRE and CO are the workings of mesmers.

Hic… what server am I on again?
….
Is this reality?

Hi RE, GM of [FIRE] Firebat here. Getting your numbers over to certain servers will be a challenge so I wish you the best of luck in wherever you decide to go. However, I thought I might post and give some insight into Dragonbrand and our experience as the most recent transfer from the NA time slot.

I have been personally impressed by the community here in Dragonbrand. We’ve been here for a little over a week and the support from the WvW community and PvE community has been wonderful. Moving to Dragonbrand was not easy for us, we’ve been on JQ since launch but it was the clear decision as we looked to integrate and develop with a community rather than conform, or be another cog, or focus solely on individual guild prestige. I’ve been very impressed by CO, Agg, BP, to name a few. While we are very new to Dragonbrand, it feels as though they’ve gone above and beyond to help us on the field and catch us up to speed on some tactics that are foreign to us. I am sure that the presence of [RE] Red Essence may raise some hesitation and confusion. We faced a similar hesitating moment before making any decision as there is a large presence of another FIRE here. We made the move anyway and I’m a bit shocked honestly… when I see my FIRE and other FIRE running together on the same map, with no confusion. It actually makes me feel a little fuzzy to see people wearing a FIRE tag that’s not in yellow but still fighting alongside with my FIRE tags, I think the same can be expected of Red Essence. Hopefully that little was of any help, we haven’t been here too long so we can’t exactly comment on the details of T2 besides the awesome fights we’ve had with TC and FA, both which never fail to keep us on edge. But, if you’d like, you can reach me in-game or on www.firebat.org for any questions you might have that FIRE may be able to shed some light on.

We’ve been here a week and we’ve had some great fights. Not a single dull moment for us against TC and FA. Reset night was fantastic, it was a hard fight to keep bay and garrison for as long as we did, neither sides let us slack for a single moment. We look forward to the rest of this week!
