I want to chest-thump over beating 28 ppl with 43, can someone send me info on how to apply to that guild? Ty

Im just honest. I will not claim that rB is better than AGG at GvG or open field. We are sexy though. If I need 60 to beat them so be it. In the mean time I will work with my guildies, grow, get better, and eventually GvG

Congrats

Yaks Bend, Golems are not the end all be all. And yes, I am still on your borderlands. Please come fight me and my best forces.

Yaks, you had one job and that was to hold Ehmry’s side of Eternal and do nothing. After you took our Lowlands keep, you initiated war. We’re switching focus from Ehmry to you guys. Blame that commander who has more Omega golems than brain cells.

Someone’s a bit too emotional :S

Have you met Kalkz?

Nope

In response to this shouted on our forums.

Greetings from Yaks Bend, Was fun taking your kitten in EBG =)

Greetings from Yaks Bend Garrison. The view is nice from here. I also have NO intention of leaving this keep. Come at me bro.

Sleep comes naturally.

ARM.3912:

Translation: We don’t know how to play, so when we face GOM we roll with 15 v 1 odds or better. What’s a cool way to say we just toss out more players to make up for zero skill? How about we are “organized”.

Yaks bend has lost a majority of their ‘organized’ guilds. There are only a few remaining that run 15+ people, and that’s generally at night time for around 2 – 3 hours tops. So yes, PUGS will always lose vs organized groups and would need the numbers to succeed that of the organized guild. You are facing a server full of PvE and PUGs.

RICH from GoM please stop blinking into our keeps and garrison

yes we still lost, but to a higher ranked team I think we did pretty well. that’s all :S

EDIT: especially after losing to BP and also EB the weeks before

saiyr.3071:

You should double team us, just so you can have no excuse when you lose again by 300 points

Jereme.1840:

lol I love the 2 v 1 neither YB or SoS are attacking one another look at the screen. A little desperate imo.

Screenshot explains it all green and red not attacking one another at all.

Oh my god the teaming :S please stop

I have to say, BP and DH, you guys have brought so much frustration yet a huge amount of fun to my wvw experience and I have grown to respect both servers.

Hats off to you guys!

This matchup has been really amazing to watch from the outside… score evolution and forum watching.

I wish there was a way to go into other matches in spectator mode. Does Darkhaven have one final push in it tonight? 6k isn’t an insurmountable lead, but Yaks can turtle up pretty kitten well too… would make for great twitch tv!

Meh its been ok — We here at Yaks have been making a strong push the last 24hrs..

Well yes, because BP took the brakes off you guys and pulled out of Shadaran Hills to go destroy Darkhaven. Switching gears again!

Chest thumping aside now. Well done to all the BP people who capped Stonemist tonight and got rid of that rather annoying waypoint. It was a textbook capture of an upgraded and defended SM. Operations commenced at 4:30 and the castle was taken by 6:30. It only took 3 pushes on the Lords Room to cap, and we made each one count. That said though, Yaks, why did you blow 1,400 supply on the walls? We were nuking them with 8 trebuchets <_<

Oh thank you so much for the civil talk, you are a great opposition.

On a side note, I’m extremely impressed BP, you should seriously try out for some marathons at this rate! Amazing!

Back at you As for us doing things marathon style, we usually set a goal for ourselves and then beat our faces on it until we finally succeed. Earlier tonight it was blow up Stonemists Waypoint. I think now its getting you guys out of our bay. Its OUR bay!

Had a blast fighting tonight guys, BPBL was just too much fun. Some sketchy arrow carts on your side but overall was a good night.

That’s quite a big force you have there O______________O

ChrisK.3051:

I had never said All of Yak’s Bend was using it I was just saying that one commander

Fair enough.

Oh sure, take one person and call it a server. Don’t judge an entire server by a bad egg. And to be honest I’m positive every server has ‘zoom hackers’

Fun match-up so far, loving all the attention our BL is getting from both teams.

That’s all.

TainoFuerte.8136:

This is untrue, as I’ve experienced myself. People might attack where they think you are, but you can still dodge while in stealth, as well as use abilities like Shadowstep or Infiltrator’s Arrow while stealthed.

nothing I’ve said is true or untrue, my opinion vs yours is anything BUT factual.

Evading is taking no damage, stealth is still VERY viable to damage. If a thief is bombarded by as little as two people using AoE’s, they will die or run away. Simple as that. Me being an ele, I have little to no problems with thieves in group WvW play.

Anyways, arguments are pointless among players. After all, it is ultimately ANet who decides anything

totally joking haha
vents required for my guild

EDIT: sorry, sarcasm is hard to detect

Kubb.9764:

quoted for answering some of your respone.

I intentionally ignored him because he’s wrong. Learn to coordinate better (L2P) and moving a zerg around is easy. We do it in T1 with 80+ people, half being PUGs pretty easily, I find it hard to believe smaller groups have problems with this, and if they do… then it’s still L2P.

PROTIP: Use voice chat.

L2P is not always the problem. We all know HOW to not get insta gibbed by retaliation. The problem is the punishment is too severe.

What’s voice chat?

wish.1027:

If that one boon is preventing you from attacking, then maybe you should play smarter and put that boon up too, or, move 15 seconds away from them when theyre stacked and buffing, kite them for 10 seconds before you engage, drop null fields in front of them when theyre running towards you, fast build ballistas when you see them charging, or any of the other easily applicable solutions aside from stand there like a fool and get killed.

Zosk.5609:

Suggestions like kiting people, or removing boons, not AEing, or running away are completely incompatible with a large-scale combat game…. for very obvious reasons. You have goals that go beyond whether you personally live or die in the fight…that’s the whole point of WvW.

quoted Zosk for answering some of wish’s response. I agree retaliation shouldn’t be nerfed to the ground there are just unbalances among certain multi hit low damage skills compared to high damage less hits. That is quite literally all there is to it.

stealth is fine. play a thief for more than a couple minutes in ‘PvE’ and you would understand it.

PvE=/= PvP. Very different in terms of strength between these two. And if stealth were given a counter mechanism, you’d probably get some nice buffs in other places, so you’d probably end up better. But yeah, I do understand, thieves need some love in pve.

Was attempting a hint to play a stealth based thief in pvp. Understand how it actually takes a lot of work to be able to survive as long as good thieves do.

The solution is to reduce the times it proccs on flamethrowers, nades and barrage, not destroy a guardian’s ranged viability completely.

agree 100%

So what you all are saying is, sit back and watch your team get slaughtered because of one boon preventing your attack and that’s considered smart play?

You know after several constructive posts, you see posts like this that totally disregard the detailed explanation of some posters prior is why I think forums is just filled with people with below average gameplay IQ’s. There’s an attempt to make ends meet, yet someone out of the blue pulls something from his behind without any form of data and retort to exaggerated and misguided statements. So I’m out of here before I get infected, and I’ll simply adapt to the game whatever nerf/buff it throws.

It was in the words of the simple minded people of the forums. Yes we all know how to avoid retaliation and honestly never had a problem with it. Never tried fighting a zerg with my ranger in many months. I am saying that not attacking with your zerg is counter productive. Moving as a force is what gets things done. I see people posting saying there is nothing wrong with it, as it only does minimal damage on high burst skills. The problem has been posted many times, different ways. It’s the certain skills like Barrage and the engie’s flamethrower. Not everyone will use the weapons, yes we get that.

I have read this topic as it was the only interesting one this morning. You do not have the facts to accuse me of having low IQ.

Well that’s fair enough I guess, but I suspect there were better fights elsewhere. We had 5-10 people vs your X until that PYRO group showed up.

red = dead….. c’mon you mags know this already.

I don’t think you guys killed anyone in my party I was one of the staff eles that kept trying to sneak up to you and nuke you, but you guys were so clustered up that my meteor showers hardly did anything

wasn’t there, haha sorry.

Oh were the real WäR guild….

I would re read your ‘rethreaded’ post before saying its to get the voices heard lol

It was retreaded because it was posted in the wrong forum thread, not because I feel like repeating myself..

yes but the attitude in that post has a certain chest thumping attitude, not a respectable voice among Mags EB group.

From Pinko in https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Leg-Specialist-Arrow-Cart-Enemy-lockdown/page/7

“I’m convinced there’s two crowds here: people that think it’s okay in theory, and those that actually have the coordination to abuse it. We who have abused it know that this is stupidly overpowered and has to go. None of the half-baked ideas in this thread actually work against it.”

I think this says it all

ahhh that makes so much sense, he is the all knowing.

Thanks for the badges at NE tower in YBBL, Blood pact.

So your proud you held 1 tower with your entire server in their, while we had your entire BL for 2 hrs? /clap

And to be fair, you had 6-7 arrow carts abusing “Leg Specialist” trait off warriors.
Other then that great job using broken mechanics. ;O

Fun fights at South camp too, 35+ BP vs 90+(using siege lol) we haven’t had a enemy server zerg fight for awhile, we were having great laughs on how many yaks does it take to wipe a BP raid, answer whole server.

actually its not the entire server.

So you had more than 100 people online, and still allowed us have more than 500 PPT. Thanks for the confirmation.

yah you are welcome bud.

Let us all take into account that most of these posts are from pretty much the same people. If I’m not mistaken, those people do not account for an entire server. Yes we can throw accusations around as if they were facts. In the end, it doesn’t matter. We are all in the same tier, which roughly means the same population (SEA, NA whatever).
I’ve enjoyed this match-up and there is still 5 days till reset. Anything can really happen. Lets not jump on our high horses just yet.

We all play the game Anet made for us, which is capping and sieging. Bit of a snore fest in my opinion but then again, there is nothing to make fights worth it besides the glory of an emote at the end of the duel.

have to say, lol at this.

just going to throw this out there, not too sure how it works though since I don’t play a necro. but could it possibly be the corrupt boon by a necro? I had this happen to me while dagger storming one time and I ended up asking the invader. completely threw me off guard. that being said, I have never used the svanir rune either – no clue if the corrupt boon would end up affecting the rune (buggy you say).

congrats man. that was funny lmfao. sadly, zerging around takes no skill even naked.

i’m currently baffled on how we ever wipe with armor on.

ALS? lmfao good one. as I said before. it was hilarious to see that naked army stroll the naked mile around SM.

was going to just clear the walls again until i realized BP was busy with their own tower. Maybe NSP should try fighting together, you let paxa get into your heads about how wvw is meant to be 5v5.. its ruining your scores.

how can you say its paxa? ive never even talked to those guys. I transferred to nsp a week ago. as far as I can tell. NSP does not give up

friendly welcoming from CO

Taking Durios from SF – ninja style

Enjoy and much thanks to Ed for the help!

[moments before SF broke down the gate and went to cap it from ET. We snuck in during that period]

Just a thought here guys, go easy. [Aimed towards those solo roamers like myself]
Note: I am not QQing about me dying to zergs, since I just stealth out of there. I’m just expressing an idea, nothing more. Yes I am well aware of how to actually be useful in WvW. It’s those I’m bored of zerging type moments I’m talking about.

For the lonely explorer, here’s an idea: What if say you roam around in whichever WvW map you desire and no allies are within X amount of distance then you will receive a party invite from NPC guards. Two Veteren Scouts and Three Guards – level 82’s. They are at your disposal while you are out of combat.

For example, say you are feeling a bit anxious in a particular area and no ally is near you so you accept the invitation from the NPC’s and poof! the NPC’s spawn in formation behind you ready to attack any called enemy [the target MUST be called upon to start the NPC’s attacking otherwise every agro will create a huge nuisance].

However the lonely explorer has felt some relief with some allies strolling nearby. This caused the NPC’s to disappear as the explorer has come within X distance of an ally, as said before. [Will trigger no matter the state of combat]

As I said before you CANNOT accept the invitation while in combat. If you are feeling a bit confident, de-spawn the NPC’s by disbanding the party.

I think this idea wouldn’t be so bad, I don’t see any situation where it would become unfair — since we all would have the option to have the NPC’s spawned [as long as you are not with ANY allies]. This would encourage more solo play and maybe a bit more satisfaction and comfort to the unfair advantage of numbers at times.

The reason I’m even bringing this up is for those people who may not always have friends online or who don’t know anyone on the game. I could see a little bit less zerging? But maybe that’s just me. The way I see it is that the gamer who has no one online tends to migrate to the blue icon on the maps, causing zergs to form.

Just an idea. Lets hear some other thoughts?

Thanks! I do admit the first two fights were just them running, not even fighting back lmfao but the first guy I killed 3 times in a row and if he/she reads this sorry ahahahaha I was being a terrible nuisance to you guys.

My pet is always in avoid combat so yeah I tend to forget a whole lot :/

Thanks to all who enjoyed it! much appreciated!

Cloud I realize this wasn’t the best footage. that’s not the point. If you read my post it clearly says its to show how I play my ranger. Not anything about being the best pvp video around. if you have nothing nice to say I have no interest in talking to you.

Thanks
