Guild Wars 2

akunadin.5017:

I might be terrible wrong here, but aint this going to be Xaoc’s like 4th/5th transfure?

You are right.

But you should understand that the story of real [Xaoc] ended in December 2012 (topic https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Blacktide-Battle-reports/page/6) where I wrote some conclusions and greetings for all players who know us.

For now this tag in GW2 belongs to completely incompetent and inadequate people (I mean current leaders in GW2). You should not be deceived by the name of this tag and personally I wouldn’t recommend to count on this guild.

Greetings for all who remember

Thanks for the warm words) It was a good time, the way to T1 was really fun & interesting.

GL&HF, RG

P.S. You can check our history in the following thread:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Blacktide-Battle-reports/first#post295640

I’m sorry for a reviving this thread, just would like to mention a few things.

As far as you can see, last month Xaoc was not so active as earlier. There are some reasons for this:
- we have reached our proclaimed goal in this game;
- current WWW status is boring & monotonous;
- many players left the game & moved to other projects.

From 02.01.2013 Xaoc GL (Maxs) with some other our players has stopped any activity in GW2.

Anyway, due to a community size, some players leading by a few commanders are still playing WWW. Everything is possible and they may take any decisions they want.

Personally I would like to thanks all comrades, allies and enemies for unbelievable feelings and very interesting fights/moments. I wish GL&HF all of you!

As a topic starter I would like to ask moderator to close this topic to prevent unnecessary flood. Thank you.

Personally I dont like the new culling system.

It’s very bad when you cant see your allies. The “common touch” feeling is very important for WvWvW.

+1 to Ravbek and others who has the same opinion.

P.S. I have more lag with this new system than with previous ( i’ve a good configuration – i5 3570k, 8 gb ddr3, Radeon 7870)

Heh, I’ll try to explain (that translation of original version doesn’t describe correctly our position).

The global goal of Xaoc in GW2 was set and proclaimed before the game start – “The goal is to make Blacktide #1 WvWvW server in the World.” You can find it on our official forum or on gw2guild.org presentations.

So, we’re trying to plan our actions to keep BT at the 1st place of the ladder. If it’s more competitive to make a pressure on VS today – we’ll do it. If on AS – we’ll do it.

For example, last weekend AS and VS tried to attack us more than each other (it was not only my opinion). Some periods of time VS was on the 1st place. Okay, so we decided to pay a little more attention on VS. But it’s not like "we hate VS and like AS or SFR).

The situation on WvWvW is quite changeable – today you have more fights against 1 server, tomorrow – against another. Also it depends on the border where fights are happen…

4) Xaoc and other BT guilds decided they want AS/SFR now, so they now focus us. Okay, that’s fine, but it’s again an hard thing for our moral.

Why do u think so?

We don’t think that there is an ally or something else between servers) But sometimes it seems like that – just because of WvWvW mechanic and strategic goals of each server.

For example, on Saturday I participated in a very funny moment at BT border – VS came from the left to our upped sup.camp, AS came from the right, and we came from our respawn and killed both while they were fighting each other)
It was really funny)

+1. It would be very interesting to see today’s statistic.

Oh man this movie is crazy, completly stunning! Thanks for sharing

Don’t forget to visit Blacktide server forum

We had also 15-20 man) It’s not necessary to count pets, mesrer’s illusion and so on:)

Good fights vs VS at Woodhaven (VS border)

Blacktide has outmanned buff at Desolation & Eternal for now _

I think it’s not a good idea to project actions of 1 player to the whole guild. It’s not fair, but really, every guild has it own unfair players.

Good fights today!

Have a fun, guys!

No reporst last few days, because the result is obvious and nothing interested happen)

Perfect today’s achievement

You can whine about your evening “skill” and about our morning cap as much as you want

How it possible – a 3 week ago you have same prime-time as most russians (GMT+3) and now you play only in the morning? Looks like all Xaoc members was exiled in the Syberia =D

Omg? We play the same time since 1 week match-up started. Its not depend on time-zone or something else – it’s a usual schedule for us. Just for the information – we have started to play in the morning in 2010/11 (Aika project).

But you can believe in anything you want)

We also miss good fights against Desolation and Seafarer

About GreenFire/Nug and other russian guilds on FS. It’s a shame for you to say something about spying – your guys all weekends had spies in our TS and watched for our commanders mark. Well, that’s what you have with GN/Nug– they will try everything to win, it is even in their rules.

You can whine about your evening “skill” and about our morning cap as much as you want

Thanks to Impala) It was hard to play against [ruin] last match-up.
It seems that Desolation will be in Tier 1 next match, so gl & hf against French servers;)

Yeah, we are also looking forward to meet Desolation again)

P.S. The main idea of this topic about night/morning capping is so annoying… Guys, stop to discuss useless things…

I’d like to post a video (not my, but from [Xaoc] member) of one of the most epic moments of Sunday’s fight – OSC and some other guilds unexpectedly attacked our Garrison through water gates. It was heavy upgraded keep and we didn’t want to loose it)
Of course, we had some luck – during the fight waypoint was unlocked at once (about 10 seconds) and we were able to teleport directly to lord room. But another good thing – we had a waypoint on Bay, so we died, then quickly moved from Bay to Garrison, then died, then moved

Thanks to Desolation for a high number of great fights during this matchup, it was very funny!

It depends on many reasons – day of the week, weather, etc

It’s better to make a transfer in the morning/afternoon. A population of BT is high, but unfortunately WvWvW population is low)

Starscream – yes, I suppose it will be hot )

[16.10.2012] Current match-up: Blacktide vs Augury Rock vs Desolation

Daily results inspire confidence in the “bright future”. Today our gap decreased up to 20k points and we continue to catch up Desolation. Maybe Ruin’s went to work or just had some relax, but we started to earn our max points for a few hours before than usually. Moreover, we even had time to take down the whole Eternal. With 10 golems destroyed Stonemist (by the way the 10 golems were lost on the outside gates, a huge amount of siege defense was there, but inside almost on zero). Then, a few raids and another 5 golems killed Desolation Overlook – the last upgraded keep on their piece of Eternal. It was the first time during this match-up when we downgraded all enemy buildings . Our Euro guild also are awesome – Blacktide Garrison and Eternal’s keep were our up to 6 AM (Moscow time). Although keeps were lost, but before we have lost all up to 2-4 AM. However, it is too early to rejoice.

Is [xaoc] the only russian guild on that server? (they’re big, pretty much a zerg of their own).

Hi,

[Xaoc] isn’t only one russian guild on Blacktide – there are a few small russian guilds too (I mean WWW presence).

Also we have an international branch of [Xaoc].

Of course, the main power of [Xaoc] is a large community of russian players. The most part of us live in GMT +3 timezone.

There were many interesting battles during these days vs Desolation – [Lion], [IRON] & [Ruin] looks very good and organised.

There were some nice & funny battles against Desolation during weekends. Especially I’d like to pay attention on the next guilds: [Lion], [IRON], [Ruin]. Nice work, guys!

I’m agree with Snort, thanks everybody for the good match-up. Today have seen a very interesting video from Gunnars, nice golems teleportation via mesmer’s portals

aurora glade….and we love you too.

for some reason aurora is pretty dead at the moment so have fun:) largest group i seen all week from our server was 30, sucks to be us.

and most have walked from the game due to not being able to see this week…makes wvw fun fighting the invisible armies xd.

Compliments to the guilds Xaoc and War Inc from Blacktide, been some very nice fighting.

Thanks

I found a very interesting video from one of our parties. It’s from current match-up, maybe it will be interesting for somebody.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=mHaWOIpaZQ0

It’s nice to see first reports from AG

Hope, you will continue to describe your activities.

It’s useless to discuss who is better, stronger and so on. Each server, each guild has it’s strong and weak aspects.
But WvWvW-battle is not structured pvp, we cant measure our forces in equal battle 10 vs 10, 20 vs 20… Always one side has benefit against another and it depends on many reasons.
Anyway thanks to both sides for a good battles during this week.

“Whats is the spvp population like on Blacktide?”
In our guild we have some players who like spvp, I see 1 or 2 party on spvp TS channel’s very often.
“How busy is Blacktide at peak?’” how are your queues?"
Blacktide is not so busy at peak. Stable is “high” . Last two weeks there were only a small queue’s (in many cases there was no queue) on all Borderlands, up to 10-15 minutes maximum. On weekdays situation worse a little, queue’s up to 30 min (on Borderlands) and 30 min -1 hour for Eternal.

“Whats the primary language in chat.”
90% English, especially in WvWvW. Sometimes you can see russian or polish, rarely french/deutsch.

“What is pve like on the server?”
We have a players focused on pve (not so much, but…), as far as i know pve life is active. Can’t tell more, because i’m always on WvWvW

Hope i answered your questions, if u have something else to ask – feel free to do this.

Atrixer.9275:

. In prime time hours we DOMINATE you. Yesterday evening, 5:00pm – 1am GMT, we owned around 90% of the map at times.
.

Nothing to say.. Just a screen from yesterday (19 CET 9.10.2012)

To Snort:

I’ll answer with pleasure on your questions some later, need to go now)

And i never believe that any EU server has not enough players for night/daily fight – i think the main reason of WvWvW problem – cooperation inside Alliance. The most part of servers have one or even 2/3 Alliances, which consist of many guild. And it’s very hard to cooperate. For example, Alli consist of 4 guild, there are 10 players from each guild present for now, but 10 players can do anything on the map. But if all guilds cooperate – it will be zerg and it will be hard to stop them.
Another example of cooperation is our server. We have no Alli, the size of our guild give the possibility to act independently on each borderland. Sometimes we have enough forces, sometimes not. But we are independent. Of course, we are glad to cooperate with other guilds and want to see more well-organized (even small) WvWvW guilds on our server. For now, we have a good cooperation with italian guild [WIC], polish guild [HP], [XT], russian [Orda],[Nolimit] and many others. But we don’t order each other what to do, we just divide borderlands between each guild.
I think, it will be good for Blacktide if some WvWvW EU guilds join our server and improve our evening actions.

So, it’s 11 CET now – what’s the problem? Maybe it’s your problem – your guilds, amount of people, organization? I think, it’s a wrong idea to say something bad about actions and organization of other servers. As for me, at first you should try to solve problems of your server. If u have small night/morning/afternoon/evening online – > try to find a solution for this.

Somebody has a possibility to play in the morning, somebody in the evening… For example, i can play only 2-3 hours from 18-21 CET. And i have fun during this hours. But it’s impossible to have fun for all 24 hours each day – sometimes it may be boring, sometimes – interesting. But as i mentioned in the post before – it’s a war and we want to be in top of EU servers. So we are looking a best way to take maximum points, trying different mechanisms and tactics.

And a little about fun – there are some other moments of WvWvW, not only points for server. For example, many people have no good equip or even they aren’t 80 lvl yet, so they need karma&exp points/gold coins…

lepri.6504:

Yes you are using your advantage. upgrade everything and enjoy the lead. Whenopponents become online in prime time you are more than ready to defend your assets with minimal force. I have no intention of accusing you of doing anything unfair, still its a legit tactic but I want to ask one thing. Is it FUN to win over undefended keeps?

I can ask you the same question – Is it FUN to upgrade your keeps and use your night advantage, when we have 12pm-2AM and our forces are small? I think it’s useless to discuss night or morning capping – each server tries to win and do everything for this…
Its a war, not only fun. Sometimes you need to do something that isn’t funny…

It’s 24/7 war, so it’s useless to look for justification of your server, guilds, players…For example, AG also have some russians guilds, that can fight in the morning, but why did they sleep?:)

For now, BT has a problem with late evening/night online, so we are loosing in fight with Gunnar..

It was a fantastic def in the lord room at Hills (Blactide) – Gunnars and Aurora tried to get our castle, but we were strong _

Here is some small video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRreVOPSRzI&feature=player_embedded

I think one of the possible solution of "night capping " problem is to deny access from EU servers to American and vice versa.
Main part of night cappers – people from another time zone, for example Canadian people play for EU French servers. Of course, there is the way of using VPN, but the major part of night zerg wouldnt use that…

P.S. Sorry, if somebody has written the same idea earlier – it’s only my opinion.

Short report (thanks to our guild members who helped with it) from yesterday’s battle

[01.10.2012] Current match-up: Seafarer’s Est vs Blacktide vs Baruch Bay

Monday did not greatly changed the situation, as we had hoped. We occupy a stable second place. Morning it became easier, speeding up to 500+ points, but not for long. By the afternoon we were sent to the second place, in the evening were third on points in 15 minutes. There were moments when Seafarer had 400 points, and we – 100-150.

Today we haven’t got very interesting moments. In the morning we were working on the tactics of a large group and mi?rodefenses. In the middle of the day tried to split as usual, but we were killed by the Seafarer‘s zerg on Seafarer borderland and we were on the 2nd place from 12 AM. Finally returned to the tactics of a large group and mi?rodefences. Came back to the first place, but after a couple of hours heavily paid for it. 5 people were not able to detain 3 golems in upgraded Hills at Baruch and we lost upgraded keep, our zerg had no time to help. In the evening we haven’t got any upgraded defenses. But in not upgraded keeps, we could not foothold and knocked down by Seafarer.

Seafarer shows better game then Blacktide for now, but we are going to do our best!

Sorry guys, but i have a business trip now, so can’t post new battle reports here. It would be nice if somebody wants to share some interesting facts from current match-up!

[Xaoc] aren’t night warriors too. We have very small online at night, but have some forces in the morning. We are trying to resolve this problem, but it’s very hard to find a stable night commander…

Thanks all who intersted this topic! We’d like to introduce a new battle report!

[30.09.2012] Current match-up: Seafarer’s Rest vs Blacktide vs Baruch Bay*

Today was a saturated day. It was better than yesterday. Amount of people was higher, even formed a small queues on borderlands in the evening for 5-10 minutes. However, this means that amount of people was near the maximum on all borderlands. On weekdays, there are no queue’s even in the evening.

As usual, we were lead in the morning, after 2 PM (UTC+3) situation stabilized and we took 1/2 place until evening. In the evening we began to loose our positions, but the gap was small, 50-100 points. As far as we can see the gap is about 150 points for now. Seafarer’s Rest advantage reduced for 2000 points from yesterday. But the most interesting thing is to see the Seafarer’s fight on workdays. We are playing similar on the weekend/workdays. On weekend, Seafarer’s looked stronger than our server in 24/7 battle. But as we said, we maintain this pace of war even in routine. But Seafarer’s Rest may partially pass the position and it could be our chance to win.

There were some interesting moments during the day. There were a few massive attack of golems on our Hills at Baruch Bay Borderlands. In the first eight golems came to the inner gate, it was hard for us, but there we stopped them. It was the most epic moment of the day – the most powerful attack on our keep from the game start. Some time ago we stopped another golems attack on this keep, but it was worse than first.
On Seafarer’s Borderlands at our Garrison also was golems attack (4), it was dangerous because keep was not upgraded and situated near the ememy respawn. Moreover, the outside walls have already been broken and we had the only one ability to destroy golems near inside gates. Finally we repelled an attack on the approaches to the Lord.
In the morning we used the same strategy and destroyed upgraded keeps at the Baruch & Eternal Borderlands with 5 golems.

Today we were greatly assisted by [WIC] guild at the Seafarer’s Borderlands. They upgraded our Hills keep and due to that we were holding this map up to 7-8 pm. Thanks to other guilds and untagged fighters who supported Blacktide this weekend.

This topic is dedicated for battle reports from EU server Blacktide. We just want to share some moments of our battles =)

If you want to share your thoughts or discuss our point of view of the situation – feel free to do so. It doesnt metter where are you from and who you are, are you guild member or not – just join this conversation!

[29.09.2012] Current match-up: Seafarer’s Rest vs Blacktide vs Baruch Bay[SP]

Lets make a summarize of day results. This day was very difficult for us, but we didn’t regret about anything. We started our fight at 3 AM (UTC “+” 3) and quickly made a tangible benefit. It kept for a 4 hours. Then (we think so) Seafarer’s guilds started their events – and it was hell fou us. Many superior golems, rams and other siege weapons – they were well organised. They were the 1st who destroyed all our keeps (that were upgraded in the morning/afternoon). During the day we had only 100-150 points, Seafarer’s Rest – 400+.

Seafarer’s members were good – they deserve “A” for this day-battle. Our mark is “C” (i mean mark for our guild, [Xaoc]). The only our fault – we loosed Hills keep at the Baruch Bay Borderlands very easily – we missed the moment when the main part of our siege weapons was disappeared. We were dissapoined of Baruch Bay players – not so good organization, small amount of siege weapons. But maybe they have a “night online” – will see. So, in general, it was a good day for us.

What’s next? Usual days and nontsop war. From our point of view, Seafarer’s cant provide such wvwvw-events every day (but when they have that events, they are very strong). Events will finished, but the war will be continued. But today’s Sefarer’s advantage was deserved.

Thanks everybody for the nice eventfull WvWvW day !

Thanks to all Gandara’s and Gunnar’s fighters from Blacktide (Xaoc). It was a really good match-up. Congratulation for Gunnars Hold – your victory was well-deserved. Unfortunately, we have not enough forces to fight at night(

We are looking forward for a new match-ups and wish GL&HF for all WvWvW players!

P.S. A little about [Xaoc] – correct name and pronunciation of our guild is Chaos (Xaoc – it’s only a russian transcription writing in english letters).
