Guild Wars 2

There are some things said I want to clear up about IRON

IRON destroyed Desolation

Yes, yes we did

IRON destroyed SoR

This one is a bit of a discussion really.
IRON left the server, big gap in EU timeslot
NA incompetence, big gap in NA timeslot
SEA/OCX low numbers compared to JQ/BG, big gap in SEA/OCX timeslot

You could say we had something to do with it

Reverence.6915:

IRON used to near queue a map by themselves

This one made me giggle. The lack of knowledge some people have about us.
IRON is a very, very big guild, with very active players. Not only did we queue A map, we queued all.. Including many PvE maps and Lion’s Arch. All on our own.
If another group wanted to come on a map, they had to pay us.. How on earth did you guys think our commanders could afford all those Superior Flame Rams for the wooden towers all over WvW

In all seriousness, we enjoy killing servers. We plan to kill all servers.
Gunnar’s Hold is in the works and we are already planning our next kill!

Be prepared!!

My Staff Elementalist for WvW.

Staff is Zojja’s Spire (ascended)

Trust me, it’s possible

I never tried to say it was solely GD who outnumbered us, if you took it that way, I apologize.

Anyways, I did not come to the forums to start an argument about numbers. I’ve seen plenty of those in the past and I think it’s a silly argument.

I came to the forums, something I rarely do, to compliment a guild (and it’s allies) on the fights we had this evening. So again, my compliments.

I hope we will have fights like this more often.

Hehe, not gonna deny that we teamed up with GRTS and TEO on that fight (and inside hills shortly after that).
I hope you are not going to deny that you teamed up (more than those two fights). If you are, remind me to make screenshots as well next time

19:24 (GMT+1 I assume), that’s before most of our fights happened. Anyways, nice to know the size of your guild. Brings down some questions I’ve seen popping up in teamchat today

The most people we had online this evening was 29, of which some are still on SoR preparing for the transfer

Anyways, I had fun.. that’s what matters for me

Props for GD tonight on MS border.

Had some amazing fights all evening.
We won some, we lost some. I’ve had a lot of fun, even though being outnumbered (was a nice challenge)
Tonight, you guys offered us exactly what we wanted when we transferred back to EU, so thank you.

I’d love to fight you on even numbers any time soon, because you have some very skilled players and I would love to see the outcome of those fights.

Too bad we lost a lot of players due to the log-in servers and RL stuff, so we had to call it a night.

We need more fights like this to get back to our old level!

~Tiff

Well, it’s not the fake IRON.. so I guess we are the real one?
The IRON Triangle that is

I just want to say thank you to SoR.
I’ve had some great times on the server since we moved here back in April.
The time has come for us to move on.. purely for what’s best for the guild, it has nothing to do with the server or anything.

Good luck in the future and thanks for the great times!

Love,
~ Tiffin

We are looking forward to fighting back in EU again.

Good luck guys!

Thanks ESOL for the fun GvG tonight. It was late (especially after the delay), but worth waiting for.

Also RISE, this was just a taste of what’s waiting for you saturday

There is this awesome commander called Tiffin.
I heard he once saved Ogrewatch from the Jade Quarry Zombie Forces making them flee from the entire SoR and BG servers.
He was nowhere to be seen afterwards though.

Wrex.6798:

We don’t tag up cause unlike you Titan, our members have two eyes and are clever enough to follow my beautiful behind without issue.

Booya.

//Wrex

To be completely honest, the only reason we’re able to follow because that “beautiful” behind takes up most of our screen

Tyler Chapman.1832:

If you have an issue with this new quality of life improvement you are not required to use it. Go ahead and turn off ‘Effect LOD’ in the graphics settings.

Get into WvW, then comment please…
If you haven’t been in WvW an faced the issues EVERYONE is having… don’t comment

Crapgame.6519:

And…if you look at how many PvE patches have been applied since the release you have to give credit to the team since they are fixing everything has fast has they can, by ruining even more...

fixed it for you, you’re welcome <3

Whether the mods like it or not, OP speaks the truth.. from start to finish.
This new patch is just kittenED, to say the least. If this new Spell Effects bullkitten was tested at all, it wasn’t tested in WvW. Heck, nothing gets tested in WvW. Who cares about WvW.. Anet surely doesn’t.. As long as we pay for our gems

Us WvW players have had enough Anet. We have had to go from not being able to see anyone to not being able to cast anything.. Now we have BOTH..
We can’t see kitten; we can’t see any field on the floor, we can’t see any difference between heals/attacks/utilities or whatsoever..
Anet, sort your kitten out and actually look at WvW for a change.. A lot of your players never go to that crappy temporarily PvE content, to grind all day.
Sure, some of your fixes MIGHT have a positive impact on PvE/PvP.. but you are killing WvW.

But to be honest.. Please anet, keep looking at PvE and the Gemstore in particular.. You are doing an awesome job at it!
I know that I can’t be arsed with the game atm, as it is completely unplayable for the parts I am interested in.

Dear HB and Smokee,
We are on BG borderland waiting for your arrival.

meow meow <3

If HB actually shows up…
They said they would hunt us down, but haven’t seen a single HB tag

Meow meow

Fact, you hero!!

BTW, this is a message aimed towards HB only:
Meow, meow meow meow. Meow meow, meow meow meow meow meow!

There isn’t an unspoken rule like that..

This JP is in this zone for a reason you know. All the fighting in between makes it an actual challenge (as the JP is really, really easy) and fun.
Fighting your way to the top is way more rewarding than allowing enemy players to just walk next to you and give each other a high five at the top.

Whenever I see a JQ/BG or whatever server they are from, they get a nice Guardian Hammer 4 Skill to their face and I go on with my business. I expect the same from them

Congratulations on the achievement Sacrx!
Good luck in your future endeavors

Proumbro.1376:

I heard they also kill players with fireballs from their eyes and lightning from their kitten. Is it true IRON players?

Yes, this is one of the few rumours which is actually true.
It burns like hell though

It’s really funny to see all those comments about IRON, some of them really made my day! Keep ’em comming

Crystal Desert is closed again

Looking for an EU server which has it open.
RoS has closed again

While I don’t necessarily think a Reset in the tiers would be the solution, I think in time it will all end up the same again, something really should change.

I’m no expert on mechanics/programming or the Glicko System, but it’s killing the WvW in the EU top tiers.
For 9 weeks now, we have been having the same Tier 1. Vizunah Square, Seafarer’s Rest, Desolation. The first few weeks it was fun, SFR was really a nice addition to the tier and the fights were great. Even Vizunah came out to play with us more than they used to. But ever since the Free Transfers to SFR and the major WvW guilds decided to leave, Tier 1 EU is dying.
And it’s not just the play style of Vizunah, while agree it’s not the most pleasant opposition, it’s the boredom.
Two servers, Desolation and Seafarers are trying to drop to Tier 1 to rebuild their community and sort their selves out. For a few weeks we have been trying, but are unable because the gap between Tier 1 and Tier 2 is too big, and even increasing.
Yes Deso and SFR are losing points in the Glicko Rating, but so is Elona Reach.
For weeks, the losing T1 server (Deso) was stuck in Tier 1, while the winning server stayed in T2. Again; the first weeks, no problems at all because it was a lot of fun fighting, but the last weeks it’s so boring, a lot of my guildmates are taking a break or even consider quitting the game.

In my opinion the way a server advances to the next Tier, or drops from one should be changed.
Let’s say we are looking at T3 here:
Server A – 1st place
Server B – 2nd place
Server C – 3rd place

Server A would advance to Tier 2, Server B would stay in Tier 3, Server C would drop down to Tier 4.

This would apply, of course for all the tiers excluding Tier 1 and Tier last. In those tiers it would be impossible to climb or drop, so the 1st placed Tier 1 server and last placed Tier 8 server would stay as well.

This would mean you will be fighting at least 1 or 2 different servers each week, making WvW more varied.

DarkieDuck.9521:

-edit-
And then desolation decides to guard the doors so viz can cap it..
Really?

Yes really!
No use to keep fighting both SFR and Viz and in the end a T3 garri wouldn’t be flipped. By keeping SFR from running back in, Viz managed to cap it.
We didn’t get it from viz, but just the fact that a T3 keep was flipped was good enough for us.

From deso with love, IRON

It’s funny to see that http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/7342/noblobno.jpg

and read IRON people telling they are not a blobby guild.

The other half part is already inside with some other golems.

btw… Where did you ever hear us claim we weren’t a blobby guild?
Heck, we even created the IRON BLOB for our lovely fans from SFR

SFR’s really can’t take a defeat like a man.. can they? All I ever see from them in this thread is whining and complaining or downright making excuses. Take defeats like a man.. geez, is that so hard..
I had a lot of respect for SFR when they first entered T1, but all that respect is quickly going down the drain..

And Domo, we don’t like lag-fights also, but hey.. That’s what Lag Wars 2 is atm.. Lag. We suffer from awefull skill lag aswell, but we make the best of what we can. Untill Anet fixes skill lag, you have to deal with it..

blob blob blob blob blob blob blob blob blob blob blob blob blob blob blob blob

blob blob =)

Loved the fights in Viz BL tonight.
Was awesome capping Lake over and over again and Sfr calling over all their guilds.
Some nice fights there, we won some, lost some. Not sure about exact numbers, but we were a lot less than all the sfr guilds combined. Loved it when Viz joined in and the big Deso Sandwich with extra IRON killed them both!

Bit disappointing that RG and some other guilds decided to leave after a few defeats on their side, and to make it worse.. they kept changing bl when the IRON BLOB got in.. cmon guys, stop hiding

All in all, great night!
