Currently stuck in Champions Dusk match with others.

Nice fight to stumble upon.
End result was the same. Some of the SoS turned tail and ran.
Arkham (Ark)
It was good.
Then ended with carnage.
Good job to both DDLG and VR.

s IMO.
I understand a guild wanting to do their own thing. But if you want people to FOLLOW you in WvW and want them to easily find you, please at least be in a WvW channel.
Sorry to point fingers but the worst offenders seem to be in VR guild. I am tired of having to join channels named “Booty Sweat” or “Whisper Oldsmeller about 12 year olds” because thier commanders are leading and they are too cool or whatever to be in the WvW channels. I do like some of them…but I won’t be FOLLOWING anymore if they won’t be a more ‘server’ oriented team player instead of just about caring about their guild. The game may be titled “Guild Wars 2” but it really should be titled “Server Wars” or something.
I will no longer FOLLOW a commander that is not in mumble and not in a WvW channel. Simple as that. And if doesn’t get better I won’t even bother with mumble. Why be in mumble for WvW if everyone is off doing their own thing in guild channels? Yeah, yeah…I know few if any care….but putting it out there for those that may.
/rant off
Here’s something you can try, not following a zerg or commander for once. Just a thought. The sheep follow the shepperd.
Arkham (Ark)
Sol is right, FA and DB have moved on from t3 with superior skill and organization. Maguuma is just sitting in mumble playing dating simulators all day on their welfare checks.
I thought the guild formerly know as Mag All Stars but now go by Mag Zerg Stars were the only ones doing this…..
Apparently Ark is a small-man roaming guild now.
Wow that 1st week of Ebay vs Mag was detrimental to Mag….not only did GF sweep GvG, but they chased off Agg and broke up Ark
Wow.
Hard to imagine Ebay chasing anyone anywhere.
Arkham (Ark)
Geeze..honestly….comon…
Hold 3 points in ONE OF 3 BL to obtain an orb buff. Wah wah wah my server zergs too much and wah wah wah we cant capture and hold 3 points. Carebears these days, holy sh—
It takes one freaking person to capture a point, you would think one out of 75 or so could capture it, Anet had an oversight, Gw2 players suck at anything that isnt blob v door.

This game is called guildwars, not pptweneedthatguildshelporwearehopelesswars
Why in the hell would you buy a game called GUILDwars then kitten about guilds warring?
Arkham (Ark)
No, that’s stupid. The gap was already explained by devon, he stated they didn’t want to go around throwing out a lot of extra damage.
Arkham (Ark)
Guildwars…no guild v guild content. This really blew my mind since launch, nearly a year later still nothing.
Maybe im reading to far into GUILDwars.
Arkham (Ark)
Just another week of TCvDBvMag
Oh we arnt winning by the way, infact, we arnt even close to being second.
Arkham (Ark)
I could do without zergless game play for sure. Is there honestly any reason for 10+ players to chase one person all the way across the map? Some servers sure feel the need to.
Out manned, out gunned, out of everything my server are the underdogs, a t8 server vs t3 (lol)
Arkham (Ark)
Guild Wars. Still waiting for this part of the game. Its amazing having a name like guild wars, that anet would focus on PvE and leave the PvP side of their game to crash and burn.
Arkham (Ark)
Thief’s combat efficacy resides in 1v1. We can take that for what it is. I merely attempted to demonstrate the application of thief’s niche to the broakitten icture of WvW.
I’m still waiting for a rational answer to my question above regarding individual skill in a zerg because I’m confused. I’m struggling to see the individual contribution any class brings to the table vis a vis wvw. Collectively, you make one solid group. Individually, you have disadvatages. The reverse is true for thief. That’s all I’m saying.
I dont zerg so I wouldnt know. Only ever been in small roaming guilds.
Arkham (Ark)
All I hear is “thief is easy-mode”
Arkham (Ark)
1v1 skilled thief vs skilled warrior. By class design alone thief well win every time. You want to dispute my point? show me video proof.
Its not always about skill, sometimes its simply just how OP one class is.
Arkham (Ark)
Yup..loads of fun Anet, you really designed some FUN pvp right here.
EDIT Please ignore my horrible utilities lol, was after FotM lvl 38, dredge instance where you had to run bombs to doors with 50+ mobs in a game with no tank. Suicide was indeed needed.
Arkham (Ark)
I was just walking around in the borderlands trying to get map completion! Then a thief from no where blinded me and stab me repeatedly and bleed me dry!!
I didnt even go to territories controlled by da enemy, I was just walking around portion of the map that my server controls!
So no, killing me does not assist your server because me being there actually take up a spot that may no longer be available to someone else who really wants to WvW! You are actually doing ma server a service cos I ran back to LA sulking and heartbroken.
=P
Ahahaha that thief did his job well.. Lets face it, thief is the easiest, most gimmicky, cheesiest class this game has to offer for wvw.
If a thief cant win a fight (determined in first 10seconds of contact) they stealth and run away.
If a thief is going to win, also decided in the first 10seconds. You can try to justify thieves all you want but it comes down to the simple fact of being able to break combat easily, stealthing at near 50% hp and popping back at full. Lets not forget the damage either.

I felt this appropriate for a thief thread.
I play S/D so this strategy doesn’t work for me.
You get my point non the less. All I was trying to get across, the cheese of this class is silly.

Lol do you all remember the Thief FotM back towards launch in spvp where literally 90% of players where thieves at the time? xD Good times..good times.
Arkham (Ark)
They dont compact, god is that so annoying, can something be done?
Arkham (Ark)
Do the 20 man you are looking to fight need to be organized ppl or just pickups preferebly upscaled ?
The 20man can be organized or not. As long as the small guild has the skill to fight them. Im looking for the one skilled guild above all.
You might also look into ADD NOQQ and BTSY not sure what servers they are on now though… Of the ones I mentioned I’d say XOXO/SPCA aren’t really focused on synergy and supporting each other rather just skilled players who run together.
OG has fought and killed ADD, NOQQ and BTSY. Need something better than that.
You did? O.o
Seemed to me like you ran back to invulnerable spot or got wiped while having a buffed supervisor for the most part.
If I am mistaken please correct me.
EDIT: Don’t think any of the mentioned guilds would want to take you in btw. PAXA is pretty adamant about their 5-man and is only looking for specific professions.
And which guild are you in of the three I mentioned? If I have it ill supply screenshots.

Are these zerg guilds? or skilled small man guilds.
Arkham (Ark)
Doubtful any of you remember the OG guild. Im looking for a guild that can compare to OG in skill. Not looking for a zerg guild, im looking for a guild whos 5man can fight 20 people.
If any guild on any server is as skilled as OG once was please get ahold of me.
Arkham (Ark)
Whoa, all these player v wall stories are so enthralling keep um coming! Nothing like beating on a door to say you pvp’d.
Arkham (Ark)
I’m the only player who has posted this match up so I take offense :S
No no..your toon is……..er..ah..uh..good looking.
I didnt only mean this match up
Arkham (Ark)
We may not be the most appreciated class in WvW but we are the sexiest
Arkham (Ark)
Out of curiosity, why would an OG player post the score? They pride themselves on having nothing to do with the score.
Sir, you clearly know not of what you speak.
Arkham (Ark)
Updated. Everyone else seems to sneak pictures of their ugly toons in with score so heres some sexy.
Arkham (Ark)
If Maguuma had that attitude (and most do), we’d be told to go play spvp.
Hahaha if I had a copper for every time…
Arkham (Ark)
First time i’ve been able to get on the forums
But i’d just like to thank the Mags for the awesome battles, beginning of the night was painful with all the people around but we still managed to have some fun
Brought it back to CD BL for some awesome duels and group Battles. Good Fights all night
Shout outs to [OG], [PYRO], [SM], [CAMP], [WAR], and a sry to those i forgot :P
EDIT: lol we’re we not up to your expectations Mike xD? We dont claim invincibility and we still have a kitten-ton we can learn and improve on. Plus tonight was a tad crazy
Fairly sure you mean me. The duels where lots of fun, the 5v5s where amazing. It puts a different perspective on competitive play with full gear factor allowed. Sorry we had so many jack butts trying to get attention by jumping in, slightly out of our control.
We are always looking to skirmish with other guilds in that spot, or others if need be. I believe our final score after I left was 2-2. First duel..I charged in like a fool not considering the classes I had with me. The second we where tighter about it, made you come to us. The thirds was basicly the same, and the fourth, well you guys did that mass invis, threw us for a loop. Awesome fights either way. Get ahold of any OG member to set more up like that.
Arkham (Ark)
Maguuma invaded.
It seems like we are the red headed step child.
Arkham (Ark)
I wish there were some way to kick our fairweather wvw’ers off the server. Or at least lock them into pve. This is dumb.
You guys are winning.
Why the sad face.
Because I don’t want to win…
Take solace in the thought that you lost in tier 3 then.
By the looks of it mag is going to go back and forth between t3 and t4. We get owned in t3 and do the owning in t4. This is not good.
Arkham (Ark)
In any case, im happy we wont have to deal with the mag forum trolls for a week
Gl to yaks, i hope you stand your ground and give us some good fights, il see you when i get home from work
Mag does not troll, the trolls troll mag.
Arkham (Ark)
Good luck Ebay and CD, may this week be fun for you. It’s gonna be boring in t3, as we will be getting face stomped this whole week, but ah well… maguuma had to put up with it for a few weeks so I think they deserve this week of change, however I hope they swiftly replace us (YB) in t3.
Anyway, looking forward to hearing about outcomes of [GF] vs [OG], personally I think [GF] would win because they have extremely good tactics at group fights and work well as a unit. I remember seeing {OG] when we last fought maguuma, but I only ever remember seeing them kill a group of uplevels, never saw them take on a solid group of level 80s… so I can’t say I know how they do (p.s not putting [OG] down so pls don’t sulk). I would love to see a video of an even fight between ebay roamers and mag roamers. I’m looking to find this {AON] guild in t3 from DB, I heard they are the best roaming guild in t3.
Anyway post a vid pls, and claims from [OG] or [GF] need to be proved with a vid. Cheers
Yes, there where some behind me aswell. Wanted to get most of it before they respawn.
Arkham (Ark)
Let’s do this, keep it real, keep it fun.
OG.
I like kitten your guild when they try to gank our fellow members <3
When you cant meet a force head on, nip it in the butt.
3 v 5 you still lose
Screenshot, and video or it didnt happen.

I’m aware of the things roamers do for their team. I roam myself when I get tired of PvDoor (it gets old fast, trust me). Today about 3 people from my guild later joined by 1 or 2 pugs capped 2 supply camps and a tower and held it for a couple ticks. In addition we were able to ruin the days of around 10-15 people who tried to take their stuff back. (Not all at once, I’m definitely not good enouhg to win a 4v15 unless the 15 are all upleveled really hard).
Dretzina is implying that just because of your TAG and your “infamy” that you are encouraging players to chase you halfway across the map and seriously delay entire zergs from carrying out their plans. In reality this is not true. There will always be players that break off from the zerg to chase roamers, and you are not really different from those roamers.
If I get to close to your tower or keep I WILL break off whether you’re OG or not. If I’ve been chasing for too long I will break off (I usually don’t chase to begin with, since as a consecration guardian I kinda suck at chasing).
Also there was a DB commander from SYN who chased me into my spawn once. It was funny.
Actually, entire zergs chase one OG. RET guild strikes again lol.
Arkham (Ark)
On a side note, every time I talk about how you other servers are so uncompetitive with equal numbers, people always try to bring up the score and how we aren’t doing anything for it and blah blah blah.
you really AREN’T doing much. Lol. The only thing I’ve seen OG do is roam, and roaming rarely caps towers, keeps, and SMC.
In reality, OG has become infamous to the point where our mere presence on a battlefield contributes to our server hugely. Even a single OG tag is enough to make an entire zerg stop what it is doing and chase in the opposite direction. Just by playing the way we play, we can make ourselves cancel out 5-6x our numbers easily. Also, we always kill more than we lose, even if it’s not as many as we’d like, meaning we’re taking more people out of the fight than our own number.
You overestimate the amount of times that we see OG tags. Yes, we do run after you, and you can be certain that there’ll be a few of us that break off the zerg to chase down one of you, but you also have to realize that we have multiple times your population as well, so in the end you’re not doing much.
And to be honest. I don’t typically see this from Dragonbrand, I typically only see it from FA. Furthermore, I’d like to point out that while you may be helping (you overestimate your contribution, but yes you do contribute) in the field, you are hurting your server by forum warrior’ing and provoking the wrath of the FA zerg.
Have you noticed that you’ve been focused down much more often by us than Dragonbrand has? Even though dragonbrand was outmanned and you weren’t?
So while none of us care about the score (except that we would greatly prefer to lose and drop to t4), you better believe we do more to help our server than a lot of you who actually do care.
You’re pretty arrogant.
OG is and always well be a “small” (by small I mean less than 25 active players, we are by no means built to fight t3 and higher zergs with our numbers but we have adapted) roaming guild. OG did not come from a zerg tier. We came from a tier where it wasnt 5v30. We are some of the subset of players who want to go back to lower tiers to get away from this zerg fest. Believe it or not, in lower tiers our groups get more accomplished when it isnt always 5v30.
Being in a zerg ball of players doesnt always mean your getting more done. If anything I see zergs wipe and its an enormous setback, more so than organizing a 5man group together again. While we may not capture SM on the daily we make sure we hold at least 15 points in supply camps while we are on the BL. Thats contributing to the team is it not? A consist 15tick the whole time we are there. Even if we never own any of the castles around the supply camps, mag zergs get an easy supply run when needed.
“Disregard OG, acquire property.” – Robert Fitzgerald Kennedy
We do have a fun time picking off the slower members of RET zerg
Untill you guys realize just how many we are killing, do a 180 and eat us.
Well that is what you’re supposed to be doing as a roaming group so more power to you.
Roamers do generally contribute; the point contribution is minimal next to the scouting information they provide to the battlefield at large and killing stragglers en route to reconnect with a larger force.
The fact is, you do need a significantly sized group in order to take keeps and smc, or to defend keeps and smc. That’s regardless of whether or not it’s one organized guild or an entire server sharing a teamspeak. However, many people disregard the fact that having the entire server on one circle means you have nobody anywhere else.
FA has been kind of bad about this lately, which is mostly a by-product of our not having been able to form such a zerg previous to six weeks or so ago, whether in terms of communication, willingness of people in the zone to participate, or organized guilds.
Mag is in a great position to exploit this weakness, but so far I haven’t seen it. OG should be a key player in that strategy. For better or worse, I doubt many guilds have nearly as many people who would be interested in that sort of role.
If my server wouldn’t flog me to death I would probably attempt to convince OG transfer through subsidization just so we could have dedicated roamers; most people who would be good at that would rather spvp.
On top of scouting information, stopping forces from regrouping. OG is also at the call of the commander on said BL. If we are needed we go there, we are the tide changers.
