Guild Wars 2

Good Morning to all of Tarished Caost. The “Toast” gets mad “Props” from me for this week. You all were tenacious like a Badger, digging in at the East and West towers, (and continually retaking them). Last night you guys did an awesome job with the guardian/Meser Wall Protection, this took us a few minutes to figure out how to compensate for it. To Pink and the other RP Guilds thanks for coming out and looking for the Defiance [RUN] guys. I know we left your server so many weeks ago on a sour note, please let’s let that water remain under the bridge. We are not the same crew that was around at that time (a lot of members are still here but we have all changed for the better). You made our battles fun. Even with the large difference in Scores this week we were able to bring our guys out and work on some old tactics, and learn some new ones too. Once again thank you.

For anyone complaining about “Spawn Camping” too bad you never played a little game called Shadowbane. That was real spawn camping. Log in at the tree of life in your city and getting “GANKED” in front of your R7 guards. Lol. One lesson learned from Shadowbane was from the Game Motto “Play to Crush” if you remember that you will do well.

Oh Darn I thought it was commander Jaden, My appologies, but hey come on out. Bring Commander Jaden, and Karage (?spelling) and anyone else. we are enjoying the fights.

Jaden, would that be garrison, Hill’s or Bay? I can make sure the Defiance Crew is there to play. Grab Pink, and all the others and message me where to meet you. Its always a good fight when we meet on the battle field. Tosses out a gauntlet. . . Toast BL all week. Bring it all, we will let your 6 gods sort it out. . .

Tarnished Coast, love the never die attitude. Props on keeping it coming all night on Toast BL. Looking forward to a week of fights. Commander CJ and Pink keep bringing the heat, Defiance will be on Blue BL all week. Look for our tags, we will be looking for yours. It actually makes the fight more enjoyable knowing your opponents a bit.

well well Commander commander Jaden and pink I see we get to kill you agian. Last time you spent three days beating your head against Briar Tower. How long are you going to try this time? Defiance will be on your homeland all week, just look for the [RUN] tag. I look forward to killing our guildies over and over and getting even more badges from it.

so its 8:30 PST, how did SOS get the orb out of Hills keep? It was here at 7:45. and the inner keep has not been breached? Not going to use the word we all think about when this happens, but maybe they can explain it for everyone else.

It’s a Cold Rainy Day here in California, Perfect time to reflect on this weekends W3 experience. This has bee none of the best kick offs I have had in a long time. Many Epic battles were experianced. My guild has been over on the Crystal Desert Borderlands all weekend. I have to say that there are three epic battles that stand out so far at least in my mind. Sunday Afternoon PST: The Orb Defense at Hills Keep, this was at least a 2 hour constant battle with all three servers attending. It was very frustrating. We ran out of supplies and could not get any out of West supply Thank you CD, and SOS kept us from getting to Lowlands. Everytime we would push one off the other would hit us from the other side. (at tmes it felt orcastrated, but reality is they both wanted the orb).
Sunday Evening The battle from Bay keep to Briar, we eventually lost both areas but there was a huge 2-3 hour fight starting in the south by SOS, and the North by CD, there were many battles fought long and hard over both fortifications, CD eventually took the Bay Keep so we fell back to Briar, CD and SOS fought over Vale and we would sneak in and take it when we could. Props on CD for the line of defenders just south of the vale it really kept us out for a few moments. Now Leader Mara is not in my Guild, but it was so releaving to see her blue dot bouncing across the field slamming into either the CD foes or the SOS Army. Everytime I saw her slam into the oponents I could only think of the old western movies and would hear the calvary bugle sound Charge. We eventually lost the Briar but the long three way fight was so much appriciated. Thank to all.
The third memory from this weekend was our Saturday Evening Defense of Briar (lost and took that kitten tower two or three times. It started out as SOS (the guild with[{Ty] Awesome fights BTW) and my guild Defiance [RUN] (yes I know there were many others there but this is my relfection so there LOL). We fought over that kitten strip of land and the supply (Vale and South) it was mostly a stale mate, then we started seeing [pW] the aussies and we knew it was not going to be long until SOS took it for good, We had a blast pushing you all off and when we lost the tower for the night I was exausted.
I have to say that in all the battles over the weekend we had fun, Seeing SOS devote [Ty ( I am sorry for not remembering the rest of it) and [PBX] in large numbers on the CD borderland I knew we were getting a lot or respect because those are the Prime Time A team from that server. Thanks for the battles, I look forward to 4 more days of Epic war.

Looking forward to not having to spend xG a day in upgrades to loose everything overnight

SoS Aussies and NZ players please feel free to contact me in game Sharan, Amoral or just Lathalshal.7831, If you want to come over and test the waters that is fine.

Sharan or Amoral, heck just use my tag to the left if you have to. . .

9/29/12 the Orb of Power has been taken from a fully upgraded keep EH, and also from DB. Both alters were smashed and now the Orb was “Flown” to godsword by a GOM toon, where it rests now. As a result GOM will get the 1 orb bonus all week, and because it was also done to Garrison they will get 25 free points all week as the garrison Commander is invulnerable. Nice way to cheat. It is sad to see Gates of Madness doing this. If the Gates of Madness people are serrious about getting the hacker out turn him in to the GM’s through report a bug, otherwise your just as guilty as he due to your inaction.

bumping up again

I was surprised that 1, 2, and 3 were not included.

The garrison was attacked by Green, (west side of the map). Or it appeared to be attacked by Green. The orb was then seen on the outside of the orb room on the map. moments later it appeared on the top of the map. Blue (my side) then attacked the top of the map to take the orb but was repelled. The side effect of all this is that the garrison commander was bugged for the night with an invulnerablity aura. When we took the water gate and the inner cliff gate we engaged the commander and could do nothing to him. During our attack there was minimal red in the garrison. like 1-5 people. This bug was reported but nothing so far has been done about it. Everyone had just stopped attacking the garrison.

I was on this map tonight also, and much later than Cayden.4587. There were numerous time tonight where either Red of Green would push the last blue keep, and the other would cut off reenforcements. Another thing happened tonight on the server that was odd. The Garrison Commander was invulnerable even though the orb was at Godsword (the altar at the top of the map). Noone was able to take garrison tonight due to the invulnerability of the commander. The altar in the Garrison was empty and smashed. Red did not have to place any troops in the garrison as a result. This allowed them to put 50-75+ people up at Godsword. The resulting location lag was huge (1-2 fps).
