BP bought out Mag’s top guilds, some went to TC and some to Archeage. The server never really did co-operate and I think Mag is going to replicate SoR’s downfall.

LOL….GG if you think WARBUS was Mag’s “best guilds”…

They were inconsequential guilds that ran from fights and tried to cap paper objectives….If people worth following tag up on Mag, Mag queues the map.

The reason why War/Bus left is because they play ppt and no one else really does outside of necessity. Right now there is no need to stay in T2 anymore.

Also losing SiX was more of a major blow than War/Bus combined…CTH even more so probably.

The last 3 months for WaR was about defense. Mostly because I was stuck in College finishing my degree. There are many false things about what you just said. I cannot speak for BUS as I never played with them. But I can tell you this. As the main driver for WaR when we officially raid, we never ran from any fight. Even if we were overwhelmed with enemy numbers. You should talk to some of the other main guilds and ask if we were involved in fights before you run your mouth. I am mostly “for the fights”. That is what I love to do mostly in this game. But I also understand the need to PPT. To stay at a high tier to get those fights. I come from a short list of guilds. HDA, Pyro, Arkham, and now WaR. War is now my permanent home. I dont play for guilds that run from fights.

Yet you transferred servers, thus running from fights.

GG no re.

lol.. ok

[WäR] Warband of Absolute Retribution Is currently Recruiting for WvW

We are a defensive mindset guild. On friday night reset we make it a point to hold our side of the map in EBG. We have 3 – 4 different groups going defending / upgrading our towers and keeps. Within those groups we have 1 – 2 roaming parties switching from defense to offense taking camps and killing small man teams trying to kill our supply line. We do this every day supporting our server as much as we can to stay in tier 2. Don’t get us wrong, we also enjoy to fight in open field. We also try to raid 3 – 4 nights a week. So far we have done really well in open field. But we fall short sometimes in our raids with our numbers.

What we are looking for.

• Guardians – Low
• Warriors – Medium
• Elementalists – High
• Necromancers – High
• Thiefs – Low
• Mesmers – Low
• Engineers – Low

Requirements

• Must use mumble.
• Mic is a plus.
• Open to criticism.
• Willing to give opinions. We need you to be vocal too.
• Willing to play defensive during raids. ( We will always try and save a tower / keep during raids.)

If interested contact any one of these people.

rush.1492 – Xelo Prime
Warlord Lu Bu.7905 – War Legend Lu bu

Other things we do as a guild.

• Random Spvp Nights
• Weekly Guild Missions with a backup day for people that miss it.
• PvE Dungeons and Living story.

GW1

We Beat Up Minorities [LAPD]

Still looking! Also for Spvp!

We got a few additions to our roster. We are still looking for more

Guild Name: Hells Demented Advocates.

First of all, We are not Devil worshipers xD hehe. Its just the name of the group we have had since we started 10 years ago. We have been in Maguuma since the game came out.

Currently recruiting all professions. (Including Rangers)

32 man roster at the moment. On WvW Nights we field 10-15 on average and on rare occasions 20. We are looking to make sure we can at least field 25 per night with the right composition of professions.

We are a PvX Guild with a 2 – 4 night commitment to WvW. Soon enough we would like to form our own GvG Team and also Form our very own Spvp Teams. We are not like some of the other WvW Guilds in Maguuma. We do want to strive for better PPT for our server during NA Prime Time as WvW was Intended to be played. But at the same time we are looking to have some good fights in the process

We also have all the guild upgrades! So if you are into Guild Missions we do that aswell

Who wins?

Xela

Only a WvW player tries to press B to check the current score while playing Call of Duty.

All these statements of who is skilled and who is not, who has more numbers, better tactics, bigger zergs is pathetic to be honest.

I am only excited to play against Kaineng due to [WM]. All i hear is good things about them and I for one would like to see that in action. As we also grew in numbers and our organization has climbed a lot since we got WAR from BP and SM from Ehmry. Some other small organized guilds too and with the Legion alliance Doing work on reset night have made a big difference. With that in mind we were able to Que up all 4 maps on reset. Something i personally never seen since i started WvW in maguuma as a commander.

I do not know how skilled, organized, and populated Kaineng is… But i do know what maguuma can do. So I am anxious to see this matchup take its course on reset night. For maguuma, reset night is the night we are most organized and ready to fight. Our spirits are hard to break. I have seen our server time after time on reset night get demolished before the transfers by yaks bend and ehmry in past weeks. But it is because of our spirits that we keep prevailing. And after a few hours in reset night we get a little momentum that will always make us pull away from the rest.

Now that we have more guilds in maguuma. We were able to focus the bigger threat server and keep them down to the ground. Breaking their moral during the weekend paving the way throughout the week.

I am not sure how we will fair against Kaineng when we get to face them. All I can really say is that I am excited for the matchup and so is my guild. I welcome a challenge any day. I do not like to hear excuses like “we lost because they have more numbers”. We lost because we lost end of story. But loses only will help us grow as a server.

For the lower tier servers… if you would just care to put up a fight, spam lions arch for more forces, show them resilience, you will see how worth it and satisfying it is to beat up on a bigger server.

As for this thread… time will only tell. Good luck to all.

Nice try, reverse psychology.

We are actually dead serious about this. We really dont want a numbers advantage. Its fine if you do. But we dont. We rather fight bigger servers and win a close game than win with numbers by a large margin. In fact… i rather lose big than win big if its only because of numbers.

Joking, joking. All in good fun.

ah! Good joke then xD

I support this post 100%. I rather Truly PvP with real tactics than choose too run with a mindless zerg. If you are looking for a numbers advantage to win, do not come to maguuma. Were good.

To Yaks Bend and Ehmry Bay,

When you see the OG guild tag, what is your normal response to this?

Just curious.

What I’ve seen usually you guys get chased back to your spawn by our teams then a few noobs who chase you all the way there get ganked 5-7 vs 2 or 3. Rinse repeat over and over.

You forgot to mention your “teams” consist of at least 20 players each.

You guys just don’t get it. No one else but you cares about kill ratios. Everyone else in WvW is trying to take your stuff (and succeeding while you are running around), killing is just a means to that.

You guys don’t get Maguuma.

We don’t care about the score, this might come as a shock to you but we play for fun not to win points that reset every week.

Speak for yourself.

Pendragon.8735:

Besetment.9187:

It DOES matter how much you fortify. This is one of the reasons why YB lost the last match.

That really depends on what forces you have available. I’m not sure our numbers vs DB maybe they withered away under the pressure, but if you are too low, then no it really doesn’t matter. I remember playing IoJ and being on those off peak times several nights, trying to defend 30+ zergs with 5 or so people. Not going to happen, 4 rams on a door or a handful of golems, its going to melt fully fortified or not. Yeah a reinforced door might last 2 minutes instead of 30 seconds, but when their peak play time is about 4-6 hours, its not a big difference in the grand scheme of things.

I still think eventually if population dwindles in this game, or continues to, they will have to think about merging servers. Too many servers below tier 2 or so have huge gaps of weak play period. Yaks has one in NA AM times before noon, to where you can hear crickets chirping in map chat. And I don’t say that as a whine, because I know all our opponents around T4 have similar, but its not really ideal for the game mode.

We played SoR and NS and it was a war every night in primetime, and was a blast. The match ebbed a little overnight, but it was not the prime thing to plan around, thankfully.

Not true at all… It does matter a lot if you are getting night capped and you fortify. This is how we as maguuma saw the situation. We knew coming into last weeks match that DB was going to take everything overnight. So we decided to do what rebel said. Lose everything as slowly as possible. They were able to do it 2 nights out of the whole week in maguuma. But the other nights the farthest they got was nw tower. On the first say we implemented this strategy NNK was hitting maguuma hard. They got through outer of west keep but because we had everything fortified we were able to make it so difficult for them that slowly their numbers started to fall. Eventually they saw how Yaks bend was. Paper gate and walls. Why? Because we focused you guys before DB Peak time. They saw an easier target and they flipped your borderlands. We held the night. It was like that every night. Untill eventually towards the end of the week NNK took a break and even before that they stopped coming to Maguuma. Why would they when Yaks was all paper? But then we started to see that DB was getting too ahead so we started to focus them at the same time and we made sure they took forever to get their BL back.

That is how Maguuma won that week with a 20 k point lead on both servers.

Why is it not happening right now?

Here is what my theory. Yaks for sure has a decent night peak. So do we… But we cannot hold Eternal during that time. we can only hold our BL as you have been seeing this week. Ehmry and maguuma has the same kind of night peak. So Yaks have been taking stuff in eternal, not with ease, but slowly they get to take a lot of stuff to the point of having a 350+ ppt over night.

How can we get closer to your score?

We have to focus you. This week though over night we have seen ehmry and HIRE guild pushing us over night. We hold but we need to focus all of our man power we have left in maguuma leaving eternal dead.

It pisses me off to say this because i do not believe in excuses… but this is a numbers game. It is all about coverage. But if you play it smart I know you can overcome most of the problems with coverage. It was easy to figure out that week vs DB… we just have yet to figure out how to play to get first place when ehmry is in the table. Especially since their server has grown.

Dear Ehmry Bay……..

Well played my friends…. Well played…. I have gained a lot of respect this night for you. Not that you need it or anything. But you have shown a huge improvement in defense in your BL. It took forever to take your west keep. At the same time while you were defending East keep by the huge numbers of yaks, and also defending garrison from a golem rush. Bravo gentlemen… There is so much you can do when 2 servers are hitting you hard… and you have defended like a boss. Many other servers would never have defended like you did. Good stuff…

Thanks. We (I), had a good time. I actually feel bad for writing what I am going to below, but to the guys earlier spouting off…..

What are you smoking? I think Yaks and Mag are no doubt in bed together. Coming from members from both sides of your servers though, they both think the other guild is the one on top while in that bed.

Take tonight for example, you have one server hitting the west side of EB while the other server pushed the other side. Don’t be so ignorant, or a liar, as to what is going on. Bottom line is both Yaks and Mag can’t do squat without each others assistance. You have proven tonight, you barely do that – even.

So Yaks and Mags, who’s on the bottom of you two?

Oh man dont give in to the trolls dude! Let them talk all the kittens they want. Just do your thing.

How you guys get in here?

Does anyone can do a video record report to Anet? Because i really dont want this to happen the whole week and is really ruinning the fun….

I know how we got in there. You guys need to do a better job in sweeping for mesmers.

This match up is ruined by cheating.

DB biggest bunch of cheaters I have seen. Mag not far behind.

Don’t forget Yaks!!!!!!!

I have not witnessed any Yaks cheating in 3 months on the server. But I am guessing it does happen from time to time. Thing is with Mag and Db they do it every single day its obvious. Its pathetic really.

Cheaters operate on their own. We as a server do not approve of them. It is not like we pay them gold to keep doing it. As for myself… i have been playing WvW for a while now… and i have yet seen any type of cheating other than 1 wall jump by CD. And 1 by our very own BL.

When i was commanding I think it was last week in the yaks bl. We were about to take NW tower. Someone in my group decided to jump over the gate/wall. We capped it before we breached. It would have taken us about another 30 seconds to take the tower. So I decided to keep the Maguuma zerg inside the tower for 5 minutes. we stayed there then pushed out. It does not make up for what was done i know… but at the very least we could give you that. This may have happen 2 weeks ago i don’t remember. But we made sure all of us reported the person that wall jumped.

There is nothing we can do about a lot of things until Anet fixes them all. All of us as servers alone should take initiative by reporting the cheaters and wall jumpers. You should not blame the server as a whole for some of the bad apples we all have.

They aren’t really getting that much owned… They are still very close in points, and shouldn’t be counted out just yet.

considering their population i just find it funny

lol our population is way down due to Christmas holidays
wayyyyyyyy down

Maguuma is also suffering in numbers. We had the worst reset in a long time. I’m not sure about dragon brand, but here in maguuma our numbers are down a lot too. We can also tell by our population in our very own mumble. I know how u feel subtle.

On another note. I have seen a lot of brilliant play by both Yaks and DB. It amazes me how close this match-up is. I have a lot of respect for both servers. Keep up the brilliant play my friends. As for maguuma, we will keep it interesting for you as well. Keep on fighting.

So far CD has a lot of numbers in the morning and at night. It will be an interesting week for sure. Good luck to you all!
