Guild Wars 2

It sucks to lose by coverage and number, rather than superior tactics. That is one of the downside of the current iteration of WvW. And believe me, it’s not THAT fun for me as well, as this is coming from one of the guys who voluntarily roams CD BL in the Asian nighttime (after work), upgrading stuffs, retaking what is ninja’ed (alone), and killing roamers and to be killed by them. It’s mindnumbingly boring, but I guess after a hard day work using my brain, I need that mindnumbingly boring job.

We had this when we were up against Kaineng. We had this when the mass exodus of IoJ —→ FA meant they stomped us, when the week before we stomped them (and, iirc, triggering the mass exodus on our side as well).

Just have to soldier on. Winning feels nice, but it also feels nice to bloody withstand wave after wave after wave of attacks on that keep from BOTH sides for hours end (especially if you end up winning, but if you lose… well they have cut your supplies and all, so it’s inevitable)

YB and SBI have been great, honourable opponents. Many funs were had when there’s a single roamer capping stuffs and I engage them, or I found out a group of 3 is circle-capping the camps and trying to find out who is on our BL at that time and trying to rally them without an icon (or frustrating? :P). Or withstanding waves of attack during our downtime/your primetime.

To the SBI Guardian from EA yesterday at Greenwater (CD BL), good set of skills you got there, (or lack of skills in my part), able to survive and kill me.

Twice, no less =P.

But on the flipside, got my goal of not letting you cap it though

I am disappointed a bit to be honest… where’s all the forum drama, the trolling, the “omg you win by numbers” stuff?

Oh wait, is it because we are actually having FUN inside the WvWvW, instead of sniping at each other at the forums? I think it is!!! Good stuff, this one…

Anyways, I believe SBI and CD have good SEA coverage, with CD stronger of the two. YB have better NA coverage. Think we CD can flip the scores on it’s head though, but need a lot of work.

PS: Question to the Benders (or YB’er), what is the meaning of a /bow after you killed me by the way? I was thinking of adapting it, and have done it a couple of times, but I don’t believe I grasp the meaning of it.

Well, I do actually wonder if all the niceties and sportsmanship will be present if the scores had been closer, and the match had been tighter?

Have to see if YB and SBI going to be nice to us next week I guess?

PS: GL Kaineng

CHIPS.6018:

Those CD BL guys defending their garrison and Crag tonight, I salute you. Some of the best wvw ever.

/salutes back

it was inevitable, I think (or can we do better I wonder? Dunno really…)

Hey all,

EDMW had a discussion and we decided that Crystal Desert no longer had the PvE and WvW environment that we wanted. After much difficulty in deciding, EDMW has moved to Jade Quarry.

…oh man…

Volatility.6729:

Why does no one on CD or IOJ ever roam?. Its impossible to find a 1 or 2-man to fight.

I am a CD’er, and I am also like to roam. But it depends on some factor, where and what for do I roam.

Also, I am a scaredy cat, and not a skilled pvp’er. Usually if it’s a 1v1 situation, I try to run if I don’t have the initiative.

wow… holding Bravost and Langor for a long time from both FA and IoJ. Bravost fell at the last, but only after FA fortifiying umber with ballistas and carts, 1 golem and a treb.

Good job, whoever that was on Eternal BG.
