Tons of fun commanding in FABL tonight. Flipped northwest tower I think a dozen times. Held bay the whole time. FA made it to inner and had north gate down to like 10% before I showed up. Sucks that you guys went there, I had big plans for hills. I ran in through north west garri trucking through the FA and came out of south west. I wanted to stay longer but you guys had these things that were raining tickles on me. My allies kept collapsing from laughing so much so we left. Fun fights with DB. Sorry if I played too rough but maybe now you know what side of the map you should stay on. Hope this week stays fun for everyone.
I have numerous Norn’s so here are their names:
Bjorn The Greatwolf – Warrior
Alfrún Bjorndottir – Necro
Rökkr Bjornson – Ranger
Njal The Stormcaller – Guardian
I have an important message to deliver to the citizens of Dragonbrand.
An immortal walks among you.
The tale goes as such—my guildies and I were doing what we could to protect the yaks walking from the Vale supply camp to Bay on DBBL, reset night, and admittedly not doing too well as two stealth spam thieves were basically trolling us.
One of them a bit harder than the other.
“Dragonbrand General”, was his name, armed with the Legendary Quip, had decided to take up residence between Briar and the supply camp, waiting in the ninja cata spot of the tower for our fluffy yaks to spawn, for him to mercilessly slaughter.
And it was indeed merciless. He would appear, and disappear. It was like fighting a ghost that stacks bleeds and is nigh untargetable. We looked downright foolish trying to stop him.
Little did I know how foolish trying to stop him was.
Eventually, fed up of the situation, I took a trip back to the spawn and purchased one of those Stealth Disruptors. I knew the thief liked to hide by the tower, so we posted there as bait. “Lure him over the trap, and then we’ll have his worthless invader hide”, I told my guildie.
And for a moment I actually thought this would work.
He did indeed walk right into the trap, with all the confidence of someone who is used to abusing cheap tactics for easy victory, I mean, when all you have to do is hit 5 and then 1 until you win or your opponent gets tired and leaves, why would you even blink at the thought of two players retreating from you into a narrow passage? Nothing has made you have to -think- while playing this game before, after all.
Then things got interesting.
Swiftness buffs activated and ranged attacks blazing, we madly hunted down the enemy General, who we thought must have been in a mad panic, a dash for his life. He ran, and he ran, but it was no use, it turned out, without his stealth spam, he was just another squish. Not too far from the ninja cata spot, we down him behind the tower. Eyes gleaming murderously we get ready to enjoy our long awaited kill.
Except… Right after hitting the down state.. The Dragonbrand General vanished.
Now I am aware, thieves are a sneaky sort. I also am not fully versed in the Stealth Disruptor’s features, whether the Revealed persists on down, or anything like that. What I am aware of though, as I have my own 80 Thief, is that it is not possible through any combination of the downstate teleport and the stealth move, to get so far away from a chasing Ranger as to escape their pet AI aggro. Correct me if I’m overlooking something, but I am 97% sure.
So.. We waited there, at the spot where he vanished. There was no exp granted, no bag dropped. It was silent and calm as if there had been no furious chase, no battle at all.

And that’s when it hit me.Of course he wouldn’t die. He was an immortal! Immune to all things death, upon entering the downstate he just disappeared, beyond my mortal comprehension, possibly to the realm of the gods themselves.

I’ve seen dead Dragonbrand. I’ve even killed some of you. Which means that your General is keeping secrets from you.

No one who takes the time to obtain the most annoying legendary in the game—and progress to the rank of General would ever do anything to risk themselves, how foolish would that be?

He wishes to be the only immortal when with just a bit of shared knowledge your entire server could be made of unstoppable warriors without fear. I find this behavior rather selfish and if I was one of you, Dragonbrand, I would be demanding some answers.

So… We waited… For this post to end. Sorry the forum messed up your story. I think its a cool read
Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn’t find a topic with the search. Is there any word on if or when a race change kit might become available? I have 2 characters I have leveled to 80 and geared up but now really dislike the races I picked for them. If I have to I can just delete them and make new ones but would flip if I saw an update that the kits are coming in a week. Thank you in advance for any info.
Shortened to save space.
TL;DR Commanders should use voice chat, for whatever reason, if they are not just kittening about. Inwitt is not your freind, and is preatty much an kitten. Deal wit it.
Shout outs:
-Deyja. Your frustration motivates me to do better. keep it up, you get kitten done.
-KH guild. I was the guy who did not speak german. You guys got kitten done. I’d run with you anyday.
-Bjorn the Greatwolf. Came into TCBL, last week while some random commander was struggling and not in voicechat, put on his big boy pants, and stabalized the wound (A.K.A got kitten done in the Emperors name)
-AWE guild. Ran around with you guys and got kitten done, despite how thick your commanders accent is.
Thank you for the shout out. It was fun to take take the lead for a little while. I have to give major kudos to those that followed me. I am not one of the major commanders for tier 2 but I used to lead a lot in tier 3 and lower. It takes guts to follow a commander you don’t know (even when he is a Vlyka Fenryka). I think the big problem with new commanders is that there is a HUGE learning curve for this tier. When I started commanding it was 4 tiers lower. All I needed was 20 toasters to follow me with supply and we could take a keep. I have learned a lot from us moving up. There is stacking, fire fields, water fields, glamour fields, static fields, arrow carts that feel like they one shot you, veiling, portal bombs, warrior bombing, plague squads, havoc squads, server zergs, sentries, unkillable buffed camps, etc etc. Something new showed up every tier we moved up and every week we stayed. These are things I got to learn about over the period of this game being out. Now we have people joining us in WvW for the first time or commanding their first time. They have to learn this stuff on the fly. Tier 2 is not a very forgiving tier for new comers. I think some patience is all it will take to get more people trained up. People won’t learn though if you don’t talk to them. Most of my time in mumble is spent advising and giving tips. Something I can’t do when commanding. I am rambling now and have forgotten what my point was. Time to get back to slaughter.
FOR RUSS AND THE ALL-FATHER!
Intense fights last night in TCBL. Lots of maneuvering to different objectives. I was having a lot of fun commanding with Swift. FA you were pressing us hard and kept us guessing a lot. You made us really have to balance offense and defense. Thank you for the chance to learn. I normally am just a glory seeker.
To the Norn warrior commander that came to north camp, I am sorry for not knowing your guild, awesome friggin fight. I dealt like everyone around us spread out and ignored us. Like a 1v1 commander fight of legend. Let me know if you want to set up some duels.
That is all for now. The Emperor protects, I am His wrath.
So thank you [WM] and [SoS]. You may have flipped hills in FABL but I got a sweet prize for it.
Good Fights, Good Kills, Good Loots!
We just want to have fun thats all.
If you are looking to have fun then TC has some pretty funny antics we like to pull. Last week we did a naked zerg and flipped a BL doing it, garrison and all. Here are some of the things we do when we feel WvW gettign to serious.

You brought up you are a little burnt out on WvW and just want to have fun with your guild. Talk to our server reps and we will make sure you get enough parties in. You may just be too hungover to play the next day.
To the Gold Orr Armored Warrior with the Red face, Hammer Mace/Axe that was an awesome fight, FUN AS HELL! Hope to see you a bunch!
so, here we go, an update :
Thank you very much.
Can we get another awesome billboard score update for those at work.
Ok so I have map completion done but cant get one lat zone for explorer. Attached is the zone I believe I need. I don’t know how to get to it though. Thank you in advance.
Can we get a score update for those of us at work?
HOLY HELL! Wow awesome fights and an amazing push by CD a few hours ago in Garrison. You guys really took us by surprise with the Golems. That was an awesome fight in the lord room. Please keep this up for the rest of the week.
/salute
You have no idea.. We only needed 30 secs more to take the garrison before you guys came with the hordes. Nice job defending it.
Oh trutst me I know. I was screaming out loud to my screen running in over and over. The only reason we kept the Garrison was becuase ou guys stopped attacking gates and stuff. There was a solid minute where we were able to just waypoint in non-stop. I rezzed at way point so many times that I was half naked and constant red down debuff. That was the most exciting fight I have had in weeks. Again you guys pushed hard and with a lot of force. I know you got through both outer and inner gate fully no less than 3 times. It still makes me smile thinking of how intense that fight was.

I’m from Tarnished Coast, and I recommend Yak’s Bend. While obviously I would love for you guys to join us because we kick kitties, Yak’s seems to have the lowest average population in what is currently an extremely competitive tier. I obviously have to put in something for my own server though, so I’ll just say TC fulfills all your requirements as well. Anyone who plays here or transfers knows it’s just a great place to be.
I’ll also look at tiers 4 and 5, tier 4 could use some help balancing out crystal desert (or you could go to crystal desert and try to push tier 3) and tier 5 looks fun in general.
Right on the button. As much as I would love to see more come to Tarnished Coast it would be awesome to see you guys on Yak’s Bend. Yak’s Bend has put up some awesome fights and is a constant enemy at the gates. They are tier 3 and have been clawing at Fort Aspenwood for second and always letting us know they want first place. Their players always seem to be on the ball and don’t exploit/hack to get what they want.
Member of PiNK here. I have to say the same for you guys. It is always a good fight when we run into you.
Seriously, this coming from a TCer. Both FA and YB needs to form an allianice. There I said it, now I know you guys don’t like, but you gotta do something different. TC seem to fallen into a rythym where they know what each server is capable, hence why this match up’s outcome will be the same as the last one. Now put your differrences aside, because I wanna seeking the TC that held off blackgate and SOR even if we’re losing. You can keep looking down us, but you’ve never really pushed the commanders into a situation wheree our backs are against the wall.
I really wish this would happen. It would be awesome to get that non-stop pressure of reset every day. FA and YB can you guys agree to just pick on us. One server takes west, one takes east on TCBL and then only focuses on TC towers, keeps, etc on the other maps. It sounds wierd but I would love to log on everyday knowing that 2 servers are gunning for everything my server has.
