Guild Wars 2

I would welcome anyone to Maguuma for a great WvW community. You don’t have to join the bigger guilds to feel part of the WvW community. I’m with a very small Pve guild but I run actively with our WvW guilds everyday despite not joining their guilds. Our WvW server consists of many small to medium size guilds. We have a very active mumble community to cater to our WvW players. I would welcome you to give Maguuma a try. If not for the WvW community here on Maguuma, I would easily quit GW2. Good luck, hope to see you.

Friday Ebay zerg was pretty epic. Lots of complaint in chat how Maguuma couldn’t match Ebay zerg in size even though there was a queue.

Not to be mean but there was some truth to the complaints. It took me 2 hours to get into eternal aside from my internet dcs. When I got in I saw so many new faces it wasn’t even funny. Like people that must never play WvW before because no one picked up supplies despite having full server. Lmao You can’t beat eBay prime with puppies. I already see how we got kitten so bad during resets. Puppies take up WvW space while the real WvWrs queue for hours.

Didn’t Emry win every match 4 weeks in a row until they met us again?

That’s because zergs don’t always win matchups.

I can honestly tell you that our best players weren’t on during reset.

not to be conceited

But I wasn’t on during reset as well as a lot of the commanders and players who typically control the WvW maps throughout the week.

Wildman.9641:

The side that logs in the most total /played hours for the week wins. All other rules are meaningless.

It’s only true to a certain degree. I seen too many noob zergs that fail their servers big time.

You still have to know how to play. If you have 20 people and they have no idea how to take a keep/tower, then numbers mean nothing vs 5-10 players who know what to do and where to go.

Although numbers are relevant and nice to have, it’s not always a priority on my list to have.

I prefer QUALITY players over quantity useless players.

I doubt i would transfer servers to maguuma, as i like my server as is. We love primetime fights, they’re the best, but we hardly win due to lack of time coverage. Not trying to convince you to jump servers but would be nice to have more come to kaineg. (we’re a t8 server btw lawls)

Nice to meet you man!

Yeah most of my guildies are family and friends of family. There’s only 9 of us all Hmong, but so many of them are so caught up with life that I’m like the only active one on. I mostly WvW while the others mostly pve. Would love to have more WvW committed players.

I also don’t plan on leaving my server because the WvW community is pretty good here. We have a mumble chat with the server and everyone just enjoy the company regardless whether we win or not. We also lack coverage sometimes but primetime is awesome. We have fun regardless just because of mumble chat alone. Very organized attacks and coordinated plays in WvW maps. It’s not even about being in the BIGGEST guild, this server really is a bunch of small to medium size guilds that just play very well together. I feel like it fits me well because I don’t usually join the biggest guild just to feel like I’m in. It’s not required in this server. If you’re on mumble, doesn’t matter what guild u are in, you fit right in.

If you ever get bored of your server, join us here. We are a tier 5 moving up to tier 4 this coming matchup.

Commander name: Fml Yummee
Server: Maguuma
Primary Tactics Used: alt+f4
Style of Commanding: gather the pugs at the enemy lines
Way you communicate best: team chat

If you’re Hmong and looking for a guild to run with, feel free to contact me in game. We have a small guild on Maguuma. Always looking for more Hmong people to play with.

Finish enemy players, its really annoying to see 30 players auto attacking 1 downed guy!

I’d have to disagree. Finishing players via auto attack is more efficient than the jumping finisher. I’ve seen 10 guys try to do finisher and the down player just counters and lives another 5 seconds. Down players can’t counter auto attacks.

The only time I do a finisher is 1v1.

Maguuma don’t care about winning the matchups. We play for the fun and the experience. The mumble community itself is enjoyable enough that winning is the last thing we care about. I can honestly say that the mumble team wins almost every battle they commit to. The only reason we don’t win most of the matchups is because the committed mumble crew only account for a portion of the WvW population. I wouldn’t care for our server moving up in tiers until we have a larger more committed following in all the WvW maps.

The fact of the matter is that alt+f4 exist. It doesn’t bother me when you use it because the rate of badge drop is not even that good. If you alt+f4 you will have to restart client, reload game, re-enter the WvW maps considering it isn’t queued. So alt+f4 all you want.

I thought I’d share some advice for WvW beginners who just started and have no idea of what they can do to help their servers. These are what I consider as basic rules that everyone should be doing regardless of the situation whether your server is ahead or behind on the scoreboard.

1) Grab supplies. Too many times I run with pugs and only 2-3 people out of a whole group actually carry supplies. Very frustrating and close to impossible on getting any sieges built or progressing in capturing any towers/keeps without supplies.

2) Resurrect the down before resurrecting the dead. It’s faster to help someone who isn’t dead yet. Once they die, it takes you up to 5 times longer to ress them. So keep people alive and you give your server a better chance in every battle.

3) Release/Respawn instead of lying around dead to be resurrected. Too many times I see dead people waiting to get ressed during a massive team fight. I never understood why people would jeopardize their teams chances of winning by lying around dead. The only time it is acceptable to wait for a ress is when you aren’t jeopardizing your team mates life. You have to know when you can wait and when must go ahead and release/respawn. Most of the time you can make it back to battle faster than waiting to get ressed.

Feel free to add anymore basic advices.

No kidding. We were broken by Ehmry’s opener. I was in Ehrmy Bay’s borderland and we disintegrated, like we did on most maps in the first couple of hours. I think we really needed to step back for a bit and think about what went wrong and how to make it right. We did that yesterday and its helping today. We encountered many tactics that we were unfamiliar with. We got into terrible defensive positions that exposed our supply lines to really insane supply capping/ganking from Ehmry. Like those TAC nutters who sweep in like an invisible plague and destroy our escorted yaks every 3 minutes.

In the opening hours we encountered numerous perma stealth thieves that prevented us from capping supply camps. We used to defend breaches with siege but had to stop doing that because every time we did allow a wall to go down, Ehmry would stealth in multiple mesmers. You guys did an amazing 40 man portal from our Garrison watergate to inner on day 1. We didn’t even see the mesmer get through the north west breach and we had cannons and ballistas pointed at it the whole time. We lost the Garrison.

The only thing I will say about your mesmers is that they emote far too much. We have caught mesmers many times because they emoted and we saw it. This includes several occassions where we didn’t find them after a full sweep until they emoted.

But that is something we haven’t seen before. We are used to mesmer infiltration and do it frequently but never have we done it or encountered it on this scale. After an hour finding that we had a wall down for only 10 minutes and theres 4 or 5 mesmers in our Garrison – thats a spooky thing.

You are kidding yourself. You guys are winning because you have a late night/early morning crew and capped the entire map with no resistance after getting hammered all night during prime time.

Every server has their morons. And you define it very well. You need to do your server a favor by shutting the fugg up. For everyone that played their hears out in your server, I commend. But you? I laugh. I was part of this so called “Night Cap” crew you speak of. Considering that your server out number us ALL night in eternal.

So explain to me how it is “Night Cap” when you guys heavily out number us? Your 40 people couldn’t even break through Danelon held by 20 of our guys. I’m sure you weren’t even there cause your mommy set your bed time curfew too early. So stop crying child.

But to recap that night, we had 20 of our guys holding danelon while your server was preoccupied trying to retake a supply camp, our other 20 guys ran through the whole map sweeping across down to your keep. And if it was as easy as player vs door, then we would have taken your keep in 10 mins as oppose to the 8 hour slow treb war that we pressured from bravost. To say that it was “Night Cap” was a sorry excuse for your loss considering that you guys outnumber us and continued to die wave after wave after wave to our ballistas.

If you haven’t learned already, 2 ballistas 2 arrow cart and 15 guys can defeat 40 of your guys who just want to zerg in.

Everyone knows that Eredon has suffered an incredible mass exodus of players but I didn’t truly understand the extent of it until we played them. Or more appropriately didn’t play them. I’ve seen a grand total of 1 Eredon player since reset and I’ve done long shifts in Ehmry Bay Borderland, Maguuma Borderland and a short stint in Eternal. He was building a ram (by himself) outside South West Tower about 5 hours ago in Ehmry Bay Boarderland.

The only other Eredon players I saw weren’t technically players. It was an assembly of Krait farming bots in the lake of Ehmry Bay Borderlands numbering 4 or 5.

I haven’t been in Eredon Terrace Borderland yet, where we saw some red dots today. What a crying shame that server transfers have done this.

I still get depressed thinking about that guy building the flame ram alone.

You should have recruited him into our server. Poor guy. The way you tell it, I’d have killed myself if I was that guy.

We were so heavily out numbered by ebay all night in eternal. Yet we held them off at danelons and slowly pushed them into their spawns after finally taking their keep in 8 hour pursuit.

Best matchup of all time so far. Kudos to all 3 servers. I could care less who won. I know we all had the best back and forth battles between 3 servers compared to any other matchups since launch.

With all due respect, we had to work hard at coordinating our defense at Stonemist against Darkhaven and Dragonbrand at the same time. We split our team up fairly well with dedicated supply teams to escort yaks in and ressurrecting our workers. You guys discredit us by thinking we just mysteriously get a keep upgraded without any effort or hard work? No hacks necessary. Just cooperation and people who are willing to listen.

But I do feel sorry for the legit Darkhavens that play the game competitively without crying. Because the ones that come crying here just continues to degrade the respect that we have for the Darkhaven server. Everytime we win a battle, the whinies can’t accept the loss, so they have to come on forums to take cheap shots about our tactics calling it “cheesy” or accusing that we are “hacking” just because they don’t understand the mechanics of the game. Ask the people that are actually CARRYING you on Darkhaven to learn why you couldn’t take the keep. If you listen, your commanders/carriers will tell you how to play. It’s funny I still remember why I left Darkhaven 1 month ago, there’s all these crybabies that whine and complain on team/map chat when everything goes wrong. They yell at their commanders and call people names when things don’t go their way. Just sad. Just sad.

Fact of the matter is, during the battle, we stocked up the keep, we upgraded, we defended for like 2 hours until the upgrades went through. And you guys have no idea how to break through other than repeating your basic zerg zerg tactic.

You’ll get your shot at our us when we go to sleep. And we will take the losses with honor. Just please stop crying about “cheesy” or “hacks”.

Why do you guys complain all the time? Our server has the least population and coverage on maps. Most of the time we’re outnumbered 3-1 but whenever we have any chance at equal numbers, we wipe both Darkhaven and Dragonbrand together and all we see are complaints on the forums. Btw we saw your hackers that flashes into the 3rd floor. Jumped down to his own death, screen shot taken and reported.

Yea lets combine the 4 maps. And when a huge battle happens, 99% of the players comp freeze and lag because 300vs300vs300 in 1 castle is so obviously possible right now right? lol

Even as it is right now. Try going into Stonemist against both servers with near maximum capacity engaging in fights. Lag like crazy.

I’m not from SoS but I’m rooting for SoS. I remember going against them when I was in Darkhaven. We would run Obsidian puzzle no fighting. good days

Maguuma is pretty much dead. I don’t know what happened or if a bunch of guild just packed and left. But the past 3 weeks has been a nightmare for maguuma WvW. Everytime I go to WvW no matter what time, we always have the underman buff. LoL Sad… so sad… Thinking of packing my bags too..
