Im in your Castle Piken, chilling on the roof
Sigh… I have ran it as often as I could muster up the energy to and I have managed to collect enough bubbles to buy 11 weapon skins across my characters. during this time I have had a grand total of 1 skin drop in the form of a longbow. Some people get all the luck
Still, I love the Instance and have no regrets spending a lot of time in there
Yes I must say VcY, like many among Gunnars I’ve had my run-ins with you guys and not always come out the other end in one piece. However most of my negative feeling towards you have melted away after seeing your light hearted humour on this thread
Yeah and it was nice to see both WSR and RoF actually causing a nuisance last night. Good fights
for 300-325 I recommend making peach cookies, you can buy peaches in bulk from a karma vendor(ill let you figure out which one) and cookie dough can be made easily from ingredients sold by master chef.
Also as a tip, id buy plenty of peaches as they will also help you get from 350-400 fairly cheaply once you figure out how to use them
When we saw that your Hills still have over 1k supply, we decided no to siege it, but to go EB instead, where we were pushed by GH. But I have to admit it that it was fun in WSR BL last evening, and we had a little payback for you guys regularly stalking our Hills
So were you the rotten sods that appeared out of nowhere in EB, went straight to take Quentin with 3 rams and 3 catas, and almost took Durios until we organised? Where the hell did you go after that? you vanished as fast as you appeared…
Slow evening of achieving very little for us. RoF are just everywhere in bigger numbers, the only place we could hold you was our own border where you still outnumbered us a lot of the time.
Saw very little of GH this evening but looking at EB i guess you have been there.Seems like our server is doing its usual when the tough gets tough it gets going.
Nowhere near the numbers we had last night and as soon as we hit a couple of bumps half our zerg went back to PvE. Still having a blast tho see you all soon
Are you kidding? Your server has been fantastic this weekend! Even more of a threat than RoF most of the time. Last night for instance in EB your team had a line of 6 trebs in overlook hitting SM and it took the best part of 2 hours to get them destroyed and evict you from our castle.
As for RoF in EB the past couple days, it seems to be one massive struggle for Klovan. when we (Gunnars) have it, we push you back into your keep and take your towers. When you have it, it gets filled to the brim with trebs and before we know it we have 2 walls down on SW SM with you setting up a camp site on our outer walls.
Loving the fight so far, Yes Gunnars have been in control for the weekend but lets see what the week will bring. Good fights all
I know the little bit of wall you are talking of, and no, you don’t need it for the achievement. Just keep trying. If you can’t get it by the time I get home from work(2-3 hours time) since its Christmas ill hop in an instance and help you get it

shame to see everyone jumping ship and leaving Gunnars. The guild i was in decided to do the same and I’m kinda disappointed in them. the only reason they did was because of a bad evening and a few failed raids… we all have those but it doesn’t mean you have to throw a hissy fit and join the winning team… sigh…
Even when you are wiped off a map theres still work to be done. you start by raiding camps and hitting yaks… try and build up some momentum and hit a tower if you can. if that fails you fall back and try somewhere else. no need to throw bodies at a wall time after time trying to knock it down when you can slip a few rams at a tower that’s deep into enemy territory and not expected to be hit…
so yeah, Gunnars may be a bit short of quantity at the moment, but there’s still a few of us here willing to keep fighting
Well… the theory is nice, but is this actually more cost effective than just letting them have it and taking it back when they leave? Siege equipment can add up and the upgrade isn’t that expensive.
That depends upon many factors. The cost of the supply camp’s upgrades is not the only thing to consider. The Dolyaks departing from the camp help to build upgrades at keeps, which are much more expensive. They are also much harder to recapture once lost.
The enemy’s behaviors must also be examined. Some camps can be easily defended by one ballista and an arrow cart if the enemy is sending smaller strike teams.
Lastly, it isn’t only the upgrade costs you can lose by leaving camps undefended. It can also hurt the morale of the individuals who consistently upgrade them, only to see them lost on a whim. Keep in mind that siege weapons can be acquired without spending gold or badges by completing the jumping puzzles on any of the four WvW maps.
The only problem is while you were continuously holding the enemies off the camp, none of the yaks made it to any towers because they couldn’t make it past the enemies outside the camp. If you had let them take the camp, and take it back 5mins later when they had moved on, you would of let dolyaks actually leave the camp and go on their rounds.
Still, I know this sort of thing is fun and i cant say that if I had been there id have done things any different in the heat of the moment, nice vid
I have 1100 kills and 400 badges, 1 of 6 kills gives badge, but taking supply or tower gives often 2 badges, and that’s good , but 1 of 6 kills is frustrating i often get some 20 copper drop.
Haven’t done jumping puzzle because some dude told me chest drops 5 badges and rare item which is bloody bad and an hour or two of jumping for 5 badges just isn’t my style.
set is about 300 badges /item that’s about 2400 more or less, and weapons are 396 so 800 for 2 weapons that’s a year of farming for 3200 badges
the Eternal battlegrounds JP can drop up to 15 or so badges, and should take around 10mins with no serious interruptions.
GH guy here,
Moved to this server 3 weeks ago, and the last 2 of those weeks have been the most fun I’ve had yet playing this game. every day I get home from work and look at the map, we are normally losing, but never wiped off. There is always a fight and its always awesome. whether its getting on EB and joining the 50th raid(failing raid I might add) on Stonemist only to get beat back by piken from the lords room, or going into the jumping puzzle and finding a few sneaky AM guys sitting with siege above the arena, or switching to the borderlands, blinking, and seeing AM or Piken borderlands get completely flipped green by our organised guilds.
Props to both Enemy Worlds, and thanks for the fights
