Was a cool staring contest at bay :>
Hope my guardian was annoying enough with my shield of absorption and ring of warding
I’ve gained 8K kills since we started fightning GH but been a loot bag myself alot of times too. Lets keep the chest thumping and kitten stroking to a minimum plz
I was not there though, but looking at the picture, it would appear that we might have had an arrowcart against the gate.
This allows you to aim about 10m inside the inner keep cause you can aim trough the gap above the gate.
You will notice that this happens a lot when that gate at hills is being sieged, but never when a gate without a gap is being sieged.
It’s silly that you can aim an AC trough that hole, but so are a lot of other wvw mechanics
I am hoping you are right cause I have a lot of respect for most of the players on your server. But this also happened on the south outer gate of hills unfortunately I did not think of taking a screenshot there. If I see it happen there again i will take a screenshot. Until then I will accept your explanation.
He is right, when we were defending Hills on your border we lost our counter siege cause there was an AC against the gate. Can do the same on alot of gates. Ill have to test it on hills south tho
Started WvW today with only a keep on home border.
Had alot of fun takin it back and defending paper keeps from both DL and GH
Thx for another great night
Realy screws over people with more lvl 80’s
I have 5 80’s, all geared up for WvW…now I have to choose who to lvl. Was alrdy hard enough to choose what 80 was gonna get commander.
Also sucks to know that my 26K WvW kills are gonna be worth nothing, better just stop playing until patch…
Lots of fun on our border tonight. Thanks for all the attacks, they were all over the place and had to move fast. I love defending and we had to really pay attention during our guild event.
Special thanks to CHvc PRXM and SOE… hope you had as many loot bags as we had
Would love to compare my stats with other guardians.
I’m trying to optimize mine, think this will help me some
stats are with food for precision and crit damage.
nice action on our hills, I saw it was contested when I was on other border with my team so ported back to see what was happening. Heard what happened so my team ported to Hills(we got lucky that timer was at 0) :P
Was a fun fight at N inner, but why did you all balled in that corner? Just a question.
Yeah thanks for the fights. Your border was lacking a bit of GH red so we came to say hello.
Someone called that there was a mass push out. However people just spread out and so things went south a little.. People started dying and getting a bit confused. Anyway we will most likely keep you awake over there a bit more over the week. Bit of luck we might get some more fights like in vale!
You dont need massive numbers to push out
But please do, it helps alot for our guild training if we can do it against an organized guild
I tried to get a team together for vale, but when I got enough people, it was already cleared out
Hope to see you on the battlefield tomorow! (and be kind to the staff ele in T3 from DW <3 )

I use staff ele for leading my team. The amount of combo fields and CC’s are insane. I also call out my fields where I put em down and ask for blast finishers. A good staff ele in lead can change a fight (call for restack to heal up party, stack might, stack swiftness, AoE Chill, AoE Cripple, AoE Stun)
I wonder, who is the vD thief I keep seeing everyday? You make my life a hell whenever i switch to staff for nuking your trebs… Also flipping camps and stuff, props. You are actually known as THE ‘vD thief’ soooo yeah… Soak up the fame ^^
LOL, I’ll tell him to check the forums…and yes, he is everywhere ^.^
My apologies that this is a little off-topic but it seems the best place to reach the intended audience.
@ FSP commanders
There has been more than 1 occasion in recent days I have seen discussions among commanders, in /m and /t chat, about FSP players (not about specific ppl, just our players in general) that have taken a derogatory tone.
I’d like to point out that while a zerg with no commander is nothing, a commander with no zerg amounts to even less. 100g buys you a nice shiny blue triangle but it does not buy you respect or a god-given right to have people worshipping at your feet.
You would do well to remember we’re all just playing a game and no-one here is better or worse than anyone else regardless of whether or not they possess the ‘blue shiny’.
So pull your heads out of your kittens and just get on with playing the game please.
I dont agree with you here on this, i’ve been playing a lot of WvW the last 2 weeks (8-10 hours a day) and we got some very talented Commanders on FSP and they really know what they are doing.The problem is that people wont listen because why does a Commander have to say every 2 minutes stay on me, dont charge 1 or 2 mobs, leave the sentry alone, pick up supplies etc. etc..
I personally think we should appreciate the Commanders a bit more because they spend boatloads of Gold on siege weapons on daily bases. If i was a Commander and would have to repeat the same things over and over again i also would get short fused at times. All i can say is good job FSP Commanders and keep up the good work!!!!
This,exactly…Lots of ppl still pretend they do not know to build a ram when it gets placed , and the need remains to say…Build the ram !..AOE the wall…Grab supps….and ppl suddenly splitting from your party,taking 10minutes to regroup,complain youre to fast while it is they that are to slow etc etc…XIao..Please,get that tag so you can feel the frustration yourself.
That’s why I always try to get atleast 5-10 guildies with me and on TS. It makes commanding pug’s easier, because you will always have your guildies with you. (its easier for people to follow the big grp, they can do some of the typing for you,…)
I run staff ele as Commander. I like ele, because I have alot of combo fields (for might stacking, area heals, area swiftness, area frost armors). In your case, I would go for warrior, with a tank’ish build.
Abaddons Mouth-Server sollte im Kampf mehr statt zu beteiligen, nur zu verteidigen. Sie machen das Spiel sehr langweilig für andere Server. Erinnern, wenn es keine Teilnehmer sind, gibt es keinen Spaß.
Way too much whining in this thread for my liking – we have a very close match up with balanced scores (as balanced as I have seen in a while, anyway) and what ought to be some good fights going on – I’d appeal to all to stop with accusations of double teaming and so on as it really serves no purpose!
Bein the server that gets attacked by both sides. If you are second place, first place server wants to keep you low to keep their first place and third place server wants to go atleast for second place so they attack second place server.
Not sure if you noticed, but when DW had their guild event in GH border, we had 2 guilds havin their event in AM border. We had Hills and Bay on AM longer then we had them on GH. My first plan was to go to AM yesterday, but I noticed GH was second place and I wanted some payback for the constant attacks from Xaoc on our Hills last week. AND we wiped the AM zerg couple times on GH so they just left.
Also, when your border is weak (I mean with upgrades, paper gates and stuff) its a tactical decission to go there When we loose one of our keeps, I notice GH does their best to keep us dry from supply by assaulting our camps, until you have enough people to go for the keep. Same goes for EB, as long as your towers arent T3, both servers just try to keep it like that.
TL;DR : no alliance, just tactical decision…FSP has been in the same spot GH is now for a LONG time, lets not ruin a great match up now
I would love to thank GH for a great night for our guild event. Takin Hills and Bay wasn’t hard, but you guys gave us hell to defend those keeps. Battle for Hills was just…epic. Also the back and forth running was really frustrating ;P
Dont remember all the guild tags, but the open field battles were really fun.
This has been one of the best match-ups in a while, IMO, and I hope the week will continue like this.
Very nice fights on all BL’s tonights. Had alot of fun goin balls deep in enemy zerg on my guardian, spaming skills and yelling on TS that I was goin down, just to make it out of the zerg with 150HP left each time
Hope the week will bring more fights like this and GL to both servers, this will be a close one…
All servers has people that use the invur spot, I know that sadly FSP players do it too and on GH they also do it. It’s very lame but nothing you can do about it till Anet fixes it. If you see people on your own server run there, try to tell em not to.
Good luck to AM and GH, altho i dont think we will see lot of AM on the english forum
Looks like AM runs alot of bunker builds, so will get some intresting fights ^.^
Funny how NP portal bombs a pug zerg they outnumber, to bad for them its easy to dodge as you tunnelvission in 1 straight line and dont check flanks
To be honest, why would they not straight line initially? You hit the enemy where they are strongest (generally centre mass), you split apart their group so they no longer benefiting from turtling type setup (even if not on purpose, most pugs benefit from aoe cap), and once you taken out the initial threat you then deal with the remains.
Judging by your comment, you basically split off to the side and ran away, so they miss out on a possible 2 BoH and some trash loot … whilst still wiping out the mass of enemies so that they are unable to complete whatever task they were conducting.
So tell me, what is wrong with such a situation?
(And I am not NP, I dont know of any of them, just talking about basic tactics here)
you step aside, put down CC’s and water fields for your allies and AoE
Seems the entire AG server is lost in the GH border judging by your numbers. The culling made tactics obsolete for the most part. Portal bombed what we thought were 15 guys turned out to be at the very least 30 but more likely 50. Needless to say we wiped…….
Well, if it makes you feel any better…they had same numbers on our border attacking Bay while Xaoc was attackin Hills
Far Shiverpeaks was running wild on other maps, but forgot to leave scouts in their own borderlands, allowing our 5 man group to take fully reinforced and sieged Bay and Hills without much resistance. You never want to leave your own borderlands undefended, same goes for us.
I still see outmanned a lot for AG so our numbers can’t be that overwhelming. Haven’t had any queues recently. We have high points but overall our presence is nothing compared to what you will find in the higher tiers.
Cool story, but next time you should check walls litle better
This is what i found at hills west wall (2cata’s and an AC)
