Hi all, i was once a fairly notable Commander in FC 2013-2014. i was in a small Australian guild call [BS] Bloody Swag-men. we saw the need for a “night crew” and took it upon ourselves to Promote [BS] As the Aus night crew. Due to some IRL circumstances i Quit GW2. Recently i have started to play again, i would like to re-insert myself into an awesome Guild community like i once experienced.
I have a Front line Guardian WvW spec. I would like to find a WvW guild with a good Australian time presence but I am happy to join a NA WvW guild and create/ organize a night “crew” under an established NA guild name. I will play in NA peak times during weekends as I prefer to run in the Zerg and a good TS commander, (roaming is just not as fun to me). leave me a message here or in game if you think ill fit into your guild
Hey SF how’s it going here in T6. I gota say i kind of miss you here in T8. ever since you left we actually need to worry about PPT.
What happened? saw a few pic’s/vid’s of SF now and you have not nearly as much PPL as you did in T8? any way’s we are doing ok in T8, took back 2nd the week Agg left ET (LOL and they said Agg was not the reason they were winning?) looks like we may win T8 this week. HoD has a very underwhelming nite crew and we seem to be able to hold a decent 350+ PPT in NA am time.
Since I received a message saying it was deleted because the post i quoted was removed.
GJ to all those who ran with me last nite. A special thanks’ to Archilese, Rikkity and all the [BS] that ran. Thanks to your help we managed to take the lead from HOD and create a decent lead.
Rikkity, you will be missed on FC. GL to you in your new job, but secretly I hope it sucks so you come back to us.
There’s absolutely no reason to act passive aggressive, it doesn’t make for better fights, it doesn’t make your server mates proud, and it creates a hostile environment where nobody wants to come to the forums and talk about the glorious battles that did take place. Keep the battles on the battlefield, I know I and a lot of other people here come to the forums to see tales of amazing things that went on, not to see commanders talk smack to their enemies.
There is clearly a lot of misinformation going around. Any chance we could get representatives from [Agg] and [FSU] to clear everything up?
This is seriously cutting into our “make fun of T7” time.
I’m close friends with most of the FSU guys so what I said was true. After FSU GvGe Agg apparently Agg was impressed and offered to pay for FSU’s transfers to ET. FSU didn’t take it so seriously at first, but when they brought it up with the server they apparently ran into he typical troll/haters who said FSU doesn’t do kitten. That kinda convinced a few they wanted to move which in turn convinced more to move.. I also need to mention no one has transferred yet and I believe they will be doing so ok Saturday
I rep [BS] and i always will, they have done more for me than anyone in GW2. If it wasn’t for them i probably would have quit a long time ago.
That said I also earned a place in FSU, I have been off for the last 2 days and I don’t know exactly what is going on but I have a suggestion that may have more benefit for both sides. I want to talk with FSU first and convince the others to stay till the FC meeting this weekend.
I still see many complaints about the “Pain train” setup and how “boring” it is?
I don’t get this? B4 VK and Agg came down and taught us about:
Ball formation’s.
Effective team combo Field’s.
Effective team Build synergy.
and much more.
We still had zerg’s back b4 they came down but instead of order we had two large masses/zergs with range weaponry (and high DPS/Zerca gear) trying to shoot each other to death…..
How was that more fun than the Team synergy and team setups we now enjoy? To those that say its “Boring”, have you even properly tried it? get your butt in your server TS and learn a bit from the guys that are trying to make a difference to your server’s team co-ordination. I bet you will love it!
That is fine to have Zergs, again I am not complaining about zerging, I’m just saying that the game play isn’t really fun. What is so complicated to understand about this? Have people complained so much that is all you see now?
Either way, I am on TS with my team, and we are the guild that is making a difference. Why do you guys think we are ahead? Its not because we outnumber your zerg; for the record I do find it boring to Zerg, I find it so much more entertaining to go around in a really organized group than being in a big zerg just running around.
*Edit
I should rephrase, we are the alliance that is making a difference.
My post wasn’t entirely directed at you but at all those who are whining. Oh and just FYI (not trolling just stating a fact) you are “winning” because GoM has a better coverage/off peak manpower not because of your organized small man teams? the proof of this is that GoM is always in last place for PPT during peak and 1st any other time.
Just pointing out the facts. Nothing against your small roaming group’s they have there benefits and we do the same.

FC has number’s, When?
Truth is FC is still the most outnumbered server! What you are seening is the new stratergy’s we have picked up from VK’s visit. Yes we have gained some more WvWer’s but the biggest change in FC is the new TS Strat setup’s.
This is the kind of thing that makes me spend most of my time in WvW, roaming -_-. No need at all for that many people to be in one group, not one, especially when you consider only 15-20 of us were defending against you, with paper gates. Then again we still have the lead, so it’s not all bad. Your better than this FC, you really are.
Hahaha…. the FC guy from [BS] in the front with the blue Aura is me XD
But seriously Zerging in the “Pain train” set-up is the meta ATM. So if you want to be competitive vs Guilds like Agg this is what we have adopted. If you don’t like it, stay out of our way.
Agg wipes B4 adopting “pain train” setup – 0
Agg wipes after adopting “pain train” setup – daily.
Btw Agg nice fight in SM the other day. Finally pushed you out after 30 mins by cutting your ball in 1/2 from the side. must have not seen us coming.
Also good to see more commander’s getting involved in the TS. That is what sets us apart at FC, we have no dominant guild’s we have a united server all willing to participate as a united server!
This is what makes FC strong even though we are the most outmanned server.
To all the FC guys that have not found the plesure of the TS you are missing out.
@ Lightsbane, So you are the ET’s that stole our [BS] guild tag. hahaha we where harrased for a few days asking if we had transffered when the BS came up in WvW.
Nice tag BTW XD
Lol nah we were GoM but transfered to ET cause GoM got boring and turned into Zerg Wars when that last update came out, and we want’d to play as underdogs.
We’ve also been been running BS tag for like 6-7months :P
I see, i see. so we didnt see you cause you transferred in, Makes sense. We are a FC founder guild but only beed active FC nite crew in WvW for 4-5 months
@ Lightsbane, So you are the ET’s that stole our [BS] guild tag. hahaha we where harrased for a few days asking if we had transffered when the BS came up in WvW.
2ndly…. Wow….. just……….
I have seen it this like 10 times since the last time i posted this so ill post it again just to get the truth across:
No offence to the majority (most of you understand) of GoM but its amazing to see the posts that read similar to this:
“OMG Agg go to FC BL for once, you are only ever in our BL”
Truth is the first 3 days of reset FC was a bigger threat and Agg was camping our BL. they only moved to you once they hit us hard enough to move us into 3rd. After the weekend GOM started putting up a better fight and Agg found them more of a threat. so plz stop whining that they are not in our BL. All is fair they want to be where the threat/fight is.
furthermore: Even as they camped our BL on the weekend we took 1st place, just imagine if the camped us both evenly from the start the score would be very even. they have done the correct thing by targeting the larger threat.
Now that we are in 2nd again just watch where the Agg force is in there 4 hours on… cause, i bet it will be a toss up due to FC taking 2nd again.

We are just trying to go wherever the fights are, typically the server pushing the hardest will bring it and provide the best challenge.
Yes, Exactly. guess i was just sick of the whining.

T7>
-Northern Shiverpeaks or Gate of Madness* / As Above
-Eredon Terrace / with Agg and FOE this is appropriate. (without Agg or FOE 24th)
-Devona’s Rest / good server but no match for SF or DH.
T8>
-Henge of Denravi * / population dip sorry but its true :/
-Ferguson’s Crossing / lowest population server in NA but with the only server wide public TS makes us more organised.
-Isle of Janthir / all the bandwagoner’s left. also large AU time coverage but no US time coverage.
Honestly, HoD wouldn’t have any issue with staying tier 7, if not for the fact that SF seems to focus almost (ALMOST) entirely on us. For example, the majority of the past two days, they’ve had a solid presence in HoD BL and none (aside from the occasional, single camp) in NSP.
Maybe NSP has put up a better defense?
Nope – the entire time, including now, HoD has kept a moderate presence in NSP. We -are- currently down to two camps in NSP’s BL, but I imagine that it’s because our forces (the ones that haven’t been demoralized away) are attempting to push back the constant zergs in our own BL – despite us being down almost 50k points.
Even in the three days prior to the free transfers, we had the lead against NSP and GoM. The week of transfers and the week following, we maintained a solid lead. Until we were singled out by SF, we were fine.
Now, again, there are no insults. Just stating exactly what’s been going on – SF is playing the game by the rules. I’m not hating on them; in fact, I feel as if they’ll be a good contender against one of the top four tiers and may even climb to the top (good luck – serious!)… but if we fall to tier 8, it’s because our playerbase dropped from seemingly being singled out by a server with a MUCH higher population.
Nope it only seems like it man. We have been dealing with large numbers of SF in our BL all day too.. The difference? Well NSP had no presence on any other map, everything devoted to defending our BL. HOD? Yep, big zerg on NSP map while their entire BL is red.
Hahahaha finally others that know the pain we went thru for a few months. It always feels like they are focusing but in reality they have both your BL’s full with SF Zerg! that’s just the extent of the outnumber you now face.
I’d also like to thank you two for the non-troll response. A decent discussion is always welcome
it was a difficult decision to place HOD the only reason I put you in my theoretical T8 is from the forum talk it looks like you may have lost most of your transfer’s
IMO From what i have been following the eventual match-up’s will be:
Server/Reason for placement
T6 >
-Sorrow’s Furnace / Large pop but big coverage gap. both ET and FC had biger nite crew.
-Darkhaven / Baced on score should be a nice match for SF.
-Northern Shiverpeaks or Gate of Madness* Hard to place -.- GOM if there population switches back to WvW from PvE
T7>
-Northern Shiverpeaks or Gate of Madness* / As Above
-Eredon Terrace / with Agg and FOE this is appropriate. (without Agg or FOE 24th)
-Devona’s Rest / good server but no match for SF or DH.
T8>
-Henge of Denravi * / population dip sorry but its true :/
-Ferguson’s Crossing / lowest population server in NA but with the only server wide public TS makes us more organised.
-Isle of Janthir / all the bandwagoner’s left. also large AU time coverage but no US time coverage.
High possibility for change = *.
Not necessarily that order but very close.
P.S. I kinda miss you SF, having you in T8 was frustrating for the PPT but then again it meant I didn’t have to care. i could just wonder around picking fights. Especially after our server organisation week last week. (rolling over 50 SF with 20 FC “Pain train” was alota fun)
also no offence intended by this post. just IMO and we will see if I’m correct in a month or two.
Im at work so just a quick question. Im guessing Agg desided to camp GOM BL now they are 2nd…. Well i hope so at least. After 3 days of having our BL completely capped (while Agg is on) because we where a bigger threat.
Agg have you moved to GOM BL? cause we want 2nd back.
It’s been very educational with you [VK] here and we have learned much thanks for giving us the opportunity to learn.
Biggest Problem is (no offence, I’m glad you came. It’s not directed at you) VK came down for a week but Agg and maybe FOE are here to stay . We will do our best to put FC in the running but we really we haven’t had any real permanent guild transfer’s have we :\ . I have seen a drastic improvement in our FC skill and communication but is it enough to offset the 5v1 outnumbering from sf and now close to 3-3.5v1 from ET and a couple Ex T1 guilds?
EDIT: this is not a stab at the number’s. I’m just stating that ET benefited from this “free transfer” thing much more than we did when it comes to permanent transfers
Please don’t transfer out FC we enjoyed that 40 man zerg on your server sent to our BL
I dont think anyone will leave. all that is left here are ppl that have stuck thru thick and thin! Why would anyone give up when SF is about to get out of T8? stay here and give whomever come’s down a warm welcome XD
Hi guys as a lot of people who were in higher tiers will find out.. SF is atm fielding numbers equivalent to tier 5 if not tier 4. I saw a zerg take cliffside that was larger than anything I’ve seen during my month in T5/6. Literally.
Been back on FC for long? the picture show’s even 1/2 what sf can put out on 3 BL’s (not being mean/troling, just pointing it out if you havent been here long)
If this “free transfer” thing dosnt stuff the number’s i recon SF is T5 material, due to numbers. that being said though. SF needs a bigger nite crew for T6 or better cause ATM both ET and FC have biger nite crew’s.
I dont like the “free transfer’s” idea. its gona ruin the great community we just go going on FC. all the main commanders are well known and know each other well too. Id rather keep the reputation/Great community we gained than roflstop up to T4.
Just out of a near hour and a half long tower battle with Sorrows Furnace. My server just got attacked three to one odds, for near an hour and a half the outcome of the battle was anyone’s guess until SF reinforcements arrived set up three catapults to attack our wall. We held out manned and with little siege for over an hour. Comment your strange long lasting tower battles.
Held our garrisen for 6 hours Vs SF about 4-5weeks ago
Edit: They trebed from the tower north west side of garrisen, punished the outter wall took 2+ hours once through we held them at the 2nd wall for about an hour and a half till we built up the numbers to push them back into there tower, rebuilt the outter. then they pushed back again. Just repeated the process for a bit over 6 hours till they gave up.
Side note: it was a fully upgraded Keep Claimed by us and was the only thing that week that was held for more than 4 days. This was when we where blue
This is something i have heaps of troubble with. lukely i am in TS and i ask a guildie to type for me.
couple suggestions:
- keep chat suppression but lower the time you are supperssed if wearing the commander hat like 10 sec insted of the like 2 mins now 0.0. The hat must be on, this will deter spammers
- only suppress a commander if he repeats the same phrase/progression of phrase’s several times in a same time.
This looks like an amazing build, is the damage output very strong and also how is the survivability?
Damage output is realy good. I have fully enjoyed this build over the last few days. direct damage is good (4k no 3rd hit off #1 on tool kit) (1.2k Crits on nades x3) and bleed still ticking for 100 a tick. the pry bar is ticking 1.3k per ability.
Survivability is realy nice to:
Gear shield
Reflect
knock back
elixar S x2.
love the survivability, and even if they land a hit they need to chew thru all the Aumour rating and 20k hp
Use chokes, line of sight and flanking amnuvers that take larger forces by suprise. i.e. we were able to wipe a SoR zerg of ~ 50 players with 35 due to not standing in the SoR deathpit and keeping them CC’ed into ours.
Nice but i dont think you get the “outnumberd” bit its 50 vs 5-10max. lol
Edit: Not complaining (b4 any SF bag’s me) just stating the fact’s.
I gota say i am acctully realy pumped for this! not just for the meeting but getting to meet all the other commanders/players heavely involved in WvW.
A suggestion b4 we get to the meeting, we should compile a a list of points to discuss previous to the meeting. Some of my points are:
- Coverage times, where we lack and what we can do to help this? E.G. put a guild/couple of guilds in charge of a time frame (just a suggestion).
- Similar meetings held regularly. E.G. monthly. Also a TS system to be used for this and in WvW cross Guild chat. Each guild has there own but a commander chat would be nice?
- Recruitmant drive into FC and placement of new GW2 WvWers into guilds appropriate for there WvW time/availability. Setup a FC Website/forum as suggested b4
Phaeron, forgive my lack of TS knowlage but is that Teamspeak3 or should i put “ts67.light-speed.com” in my url and download the stuff then get passwords l8er ect?
I hear you brother. I had to learn this today too. Download the TS3 client first. Install and then hit the connect option. Put into the url field “ts67.light-speed.com: 7520”. Then just pick a username and a password for yourself. I went with my toon name since that’s what everyone will always see. Is that what you were looking for?
Yea thanks bud. i have TS3 for the guild chat we got is BS ill find the new IP. Thanks!

Man……… FC we are losing ppl to this tedious war. Hope is leaving and so are the bulk of our force. all i can hope for is once SF leaves T8 that we get the ppl back who have left WvW.
At least 1 representitive of the BS nite crew Commanders will be there. Ill try my best to get Sir Mix and myself there to.
id like to bring up the recent burst of ET nite crew, as insanemaniac may already know its been difficalt to stop there 40+ man terror runs at US 3-4 am.
for us Aussie players (and because im lazy) what time is that in GMT/AUS time if you know?)

Edit: Ok so correct me if im wrong but its 11am (non-daylight savings) GMT+10
Im not sure? i have 1v1ed many a thief in wvw. the problem was culling, not seeing them in big team/zerg fights.
Im not sure the “revealed” is needed? but meh maby this will show some Thieves/Mesmer that they have been OP and to lern how to play/level onother class
Well done everyone from last nite. We are re affirming that the FC nite crew is the bestin T8.
thanks to the 30+ ppl that showed up to take the lead from ET and hold a +290 for most of the nite we overtook ET and gaind a 2k lead on our watch well done all.
We welcome everyone to help increase our lead tonight in the BS friday nite (aussie time) event.
