Guild Wars 2

If the other team is able to get themselves together and execute knockdown chains for 10-15 seconds at a time, more power to them.

I can’t think of anything better to try than having your team mob home, then roll to mid, and then to try to hold those points while trying to catch the engi’s coming back in so they can’t set up to assault those points.

I’m not sure conceding mid was the best idea. Maybe just bite the rocket and take the time it takes to clear mid, meh. Not to be mean, but two rangers and they couldn’t barrage the crates? Glad you weren’t one of the rangers.

Sovereign.1093:

o.o;; ^ that is as confusing as it gets for me.

Bruce Lee, Enter the Dragon, to a student: “It is like a finger pointing a way to the moon. Don’t concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory. Do you understand?”

WvW. More having fun. Less worrying about building up the self or tearing down the others.

nibbles.2408:

knocks on wood

Ow! Meanie.

I zoned into the bomb one once into the downed state. I’m assuming I appeared next to a bomb that was put out there during the time it took me to get into the gate.

I’m P/D, so with the base init regen change, Quick Recovery isn’t doing that much for me. I actually replaced it with Assassin’s Retreat paired with Fleet Shadow since the 20/24 sec Swiftness is very convenient when I’m running with Shadowstep/Love Shack/Poof Powder. That and being survival, I’m stealthed a ton. Mobility is the good.

It was that or Might on roll.

Nice job, TC, getting all comebacky no give uppy midweek after being behind.
KN, get well soon.
FA, well, blue ain’t red.

Everyone else, especially you trolly types,

FINGER!
MOON!

(hugs knees and rocks self in corner)

FA is keeping me from whack the yaks with boughs of jolly. FA la la la la. La la. La la.

There was some D/P thief as Astral who was pushing me around too. I couldn’t take charge of the fight. I wanna learn that one day. Yep.

Blobs CAN be cute.

Disclaimer: I am a roaming thief on the wind.

The Swisscakie is a lie!

Maniac.5163:

Are you like this in real life, or just when you roleplay a tree?

It’s a little of Column A, a little of Column B, with a few dice rolls from Column C.

eithinan.9841:

oh yeah. you…I guess you are better with your finger moon shtick than the wall of text from jedus guy on JQQ.

I’m not a stick. I’m sylvari!

JudgeD.5673:

Paraphrased from the “Art of War” by Sun Tzu:
A man with weak feet and strong shoes will not get as far as a man with strong feet and weak shoes.

From the unwritten “Art of Thief” by Zestee:
Steal their shoes while they’re asleep. It’s more amusing than cutting throats, especially for the sleepies.

Tei.1704:

If you took the most generic of white t-shirts and sprinkled some glitter on it, it would suddenly be a feminine shirt.

Nah, it’d just be a generic white t-shirt with some glitter sprinkled on it, that most people in my culture would perceive as feminine.

Who you are affects how you perceive things.

It’s hard for mesmers to laugh. They need to focus on breathing so they can keep dodging, moving, and casting. You mess up the rhythm of breath, and it does not feel the happy.

Try it. Run a mile and then cackle for no reason without breaking stride. You’ll feel the effects and it takes awhile to recover. And that’s before the police tackle you for disturbing the peace.

Kimhyuna.1035:

So what? Guilds should move to TC and make a top 4?

Nah.

We’re all fourthy just being ourselves here in the Toasty Coast. We follow our hearts and sometimes we follow commanders and every now and then we follow a commander with a heart, but if he eats it all bets are off.

There are those that want things certain ways and others their own. For the most part, TC’s great strength is respecting each other as we go looking for whatever we want to find.

We’ll end up wherever our roads lead us, and not for wanting someone to lead us there. All I can do is enjoy the journey, even if occasionally that’s back to a WvW waypoint. ^^

Gamora: "I know who you are, Peter Quill, and I am not some starry-eyed waif here to succumb to your... your pelvic sorcery!"

Manoa.5897:

(It’s pronounced “Ayng,” not “Ahng” Shyamalan!).

It’s
pronounced
not

Those are the 3 words there I KNOW how to say. Hopefully.

Blockhead Magee.3092:

LA is going to be stomped.

This is some kind of payback for all the bandwidth munched up by afk people. Which is insane troll logic.

MrKnieves.4162:

• All NPC’s removed from the maps, if you want to fortify a tower you have to do it yourself.

Actually, it might be faster if we did it ourselves. Those Workers must be union and/or being paid hourly.

Ditto.

On the plus side, they’re fulfilling my expectations that I’ve adjusted due to experience.

Live like you were born! Naked and covered in the blood of others, often with screaming involved.

Andy.9137:

we were pretty determined to keep that dolyak living.

I could tell! And once it started getting healthier while bleeding, it was time to run screaming. Past time. Gunk was not the most helpful steal ever, not in that situation. That pretty much ended the try.

The thing with Courtyard is that it’s a straight up fight. Someone finally goes down and the survivors are shorthanded so it snowballs into a wipe. We’re so trained by Conquest to repop and get back in that all you do is feed the meatgrinder.

What should happen, to prevent the 500-0’s, is that the shorthanded team try to back off until they get back to full strength. Not that the other team is going to let them. At its worst, the team should fully reinforce in the spawn area to try the 5 on 5 again. Otherwise, it’s all going downhill after it’s been decided in the opening clash.

Boo rangers. YaY thieves!

SykkoB.9465:

...that would be overkill.

No such thing as overkill. Do or do not, there is no wait a minute Yoda looks kinda like an asura.

Darknicrofia.2604:

this is totally going to become a weekly event

Which part is going to be weekly? All of it?

I’m not sure which part would be the scariest. Kinda fascinating scary. Or frighteningly fascinating. The singing wouldn’t be worse than what I’ve heard in some bars. Naked isn’t such a big deal as the humans seem to make it. The zerg is a big deal. It’s zergy. That’s implied big. The golems are some wowwie. But all together. Yeah, scary. But a good scary.

YaY! I think. Keep up the weird work.

Niim.9260:

This pervasive view that everyone go defensive because we all stand in a giant ball is a crutch, so you do not have to learn to position, move, dodge or rely on the support of your team.

It’s awkward, but you can put a hurt on someone with a crutch if you try hard enough. Just sayin’.

capmasterflash.5690:

SoS seems to have a higher class of rangers than I’ve really seen from any of the other servers we’ve faced...I’ve never fought against TC.

I have. Did not like. SO. MUCH. FUN.

Are we talking the good high or the bad high with the plants, law enforcement and whatnots?

Awesome name Leeda Lyn!

Mine is Cryptician Zetti, bureaumancer of necrotic efficiency. I don’t break codes as much as enforce codes in the workplace.

Well, at least this thread feels a lot of homey now.

We’re back together with FA. It’s the holidays. There are unnecessary but vigorous discussions about traditional and beaten to death topics.

Spike my egg nog and tie me up in a ribbon.

Hickeroar.9734:

Asudementio.8526:

It is a shame the new matchmaking system is punishing some for winning and rewarding others for bullying.

You clearly don’t understand how glicko ratings work…

I don’t either.

That’s why I’m all shoot them, save us, and keep all the pointy stuff in your color. Everything else is all FINGER! MOON!

Huh. WvW really is that simple.

marnick.4305:

Is Scarlet dead or alive?

So what actually happened to her?

Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a dolyak.

I thought 1st Law o’ Gaming was “Do Unto Others Before They Do Unto You.”

Hexin.5603:

.. and come charging at TC yelling “do you even lift brah”

I’m picturing a valkyrie screaming at her breastplate, “Do you even lift, bra?”

Is the honeymoon over? Not enough finger pointing to the moon? Or honey?

I like honey.

Rule 63.

Nuff said.

...Hallelujah! Holy dolyak! Where’s the Tylenol?

CAA.9653:

[RISE]? oh, mean Balls Deep Crew. Fun group, and they are gonna help FA kick TC and DB right in da nutz.

You know it’s easier to just climb the tree and pick them by hand?

Those nuts. In our mouths. Nom nom!

Do not worry. You should feel the first bite and then you would know it’s time to pick a caterpillar off and put it down somewhere else where it can munch away.

Nakoor.1980:

WhiteAndMilky.2514:

And TW is darned proud of their Zerg balls!

Zerging for life!

I still say I’d be the cutest lil crackling EVER in a Starcraft MMORPG.

And for the record, AC/DC has the biggest balls of them all.

Wolbryne.4037:

I know made, but the doctor said no hanky panky before the 6 week mark after my wife’s c-section

I’m sure you two can figure out a way to use the hanky without involving the panky.

I’m thiefy enough to be optimal and viable to my having fun.

Yall crazy worrying about this min/max/meta stuff.

My necromancer isn’t bald. She’s optimally coifed for efficient aerodynamics and hygiene management.

They realize they did name it "Hard to Catch", yes?

Whitebeard.5172:

*RP walks away*

I roleplay run away. Screaming. Sometimes the screams are only on the inside because it’s hard to run when you’re not sucking air in. I am a leaf on the wind! Trying not to be a leaf on the ground. Or pieces of leaf scattered about. But leafy. And I’m leaving the area. Running.

Usagi.4835:

Because Mif isn’t a guild…

Rambo wasn’t a guild either, but he sure owned a Borderland or two back in the day.

I think they’re fine as is. It’s just something to look out for and deal with as you see them.

Anyone else getting one heckuva headache from the flicking film effect?

nibbles.2408:

FA has been consistently judged by its forum warriors...I can guarantee the FA trolls won’t stop...

Enough of it left an icky taste with me and combined with some pleasant interaction with some TC forum people and a lack of actual attachments to FA and I bounced over to see what things were like.

2 hours is a hilarious small sample size, but it was pleasant. Less salty, angsty, spazzy. All I saw in chat was numbers and movements and all clears. I saw people responding to the info. I saw people hanging out manning siege no where near the action.

I saw an odd guild recruitment message. I’m assuming it’s a guild for charr, what with the fur and all.

I joined FA because a few people I knew, 3 steps removed from the people I knew from WoW, said they played on it. And they then said they never really play once I started playing. My time with FA and two of the guilds there has convinced me that I should just do my thing alone for now.

The thing that made me finally move, after all my "just play" talk was the fact that a 30 man zerg can just roll up your home Borderland all the way to Spiritholme and NO ONE called it out. Maybe it was said in voice coms, maybe, but still no one was there.

I was hot, after upgrading the camp, since I’m cheap and all. I remember FA as being more functional a month ago.

I’m in that self justification mode now, but the grass seems greener on TC through my rose colored glasses that cost $20 in gems. Maybe WvW and people’s bandwagoning is how ANet knew they’d make bank instead of monthly subscriptions.

Furiousbeard.7602:

Master Farkha.1857:

How does one grow a furious beard anyway?

Its an extremely dangerous process and something unfit for the public forums.

I misread that minus a very important letter L the first time through... Gods help me.

Fuzzion.2504:

covenn.7165:

This game is getting really stale for me.

Hey atleast your matchup is fun. We only get to stare at doors

You can make it ajar if you get really bored.

bhagwad.4281:

1 player should never be able to cause trouble to 2 or more players. No matter what the situation.

Yeah, Luke Skywalker, shot down.
Rocky, knocked out. That or busted for PEDs.
Frodo and Sam, stealth hax.
Rambo, ammo hax.
John McClaine, never contested Nakatomi Plaza.
Tim Tebow, well, uh… right o.

We all wanna be not a hero, but the hero.

Amazing. It’s almost like each server’s population and effort level fluctuate every few weeks. It’s hard to believe. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Maybe someone should look into documenting this for emergency management reimbursement. Or research preventative measures.

You must all show up. Every day. And play. And HAVE FUN. Or be forced to show up to play and have fun. You WILL have fun, even if it kills you!

Psst, finger, moon.

I’m a Leafy Thiefy. Maybe I taste kinda corny. I’m pretty sure no matter what I taste like, I wouldn’t eat myself if I could.

I fell off the Tree this way...
