Guild Wars 2

Evening (EST) score update.

AR 34837
DH 27790
IoJ 26058

Won’t happen.

ANet is too busy with new PvE maps, group events, and jumping puzzles.

Yohimbe.1876:

Go go IoJ!! Wishing you much badges in your new match.

Well they’re certainly giving us badges. Not many points, but plenty of badges.

Quoted for huehuehuehue.

To Anvil Rock:

To the DH Invader in EB that dropped Dusk

THANKS

Darkhavens drop precursors.

It wouldn’t be cheating, anyway. Get off it, and over yourself.

I’m betting on (and cheering for) GoM, if that’s the case.

Mastermavrick.2439:

to the IoJ [Prot] Ranger (Lbow/GS dual wolves)(you are one tenacious stubborn kitten KUDOS) and your eventually company thanks for the 2-4hr farm @SEcamp ARBL

:P It was fun times. I have a feeling I will see you a lot this week.

Mastermavrick.2439:

Heh yep, welcome to the tier.

I expected a lot more fight from IoJ over the weekend. I know the reasons, just didn’t expect them to be so disinterested.

Kodiack.2783:

Another week of WvW and a new team on green.
…

omg? you didn’t even mention the best AR guild [CHAR] otherwise known as All the cute Charrs and me. pls leave.

I’ll recognize you when you learn to speak and behave unlike worthlessness. Impress daddy goomba some more, and maybe I’ll reconsider next year, after I’ve seen a lot less selfish “HAHA ME LOL” play from you.

[TWIN] [VS] [KoBL] [TDME]

Then, at least 30 pocket-sized guilds (lots of little groups of friends scurrying about) who make up our unregulated militia.

They all put people in daily. Effectiveness varies, but that’s ok, because we’ve been fighting Brolis Pass and that meant we had to play for second, anyway.

That’s their plans and phases, Nuzt.
Dat keel dyeth raishyo.

They’ll probably take credit for helping HoD and GoM win, now that they’ve seen that HoD and GoM are going to win, and enacted the phase of their plan to take care of that.

At least they get to kill Ronny again, for what little that’s worth.

I second Dovgan’s motion.

The problem there, with FoV limiting, is that a fairly expensive 3 panel wrap-around gaming display actually should give its owner what they’re expecting. Your FoV suggestion will ruin that experience, and you’ve no right to expect that to be the case.

I have multiple displays. Only one carries the GW2 window (full screen windowed), and I get a slight advantage over some, for not needing to alt+tab for access to Teamspeak and such: My right to do so.

Hardware provides comparable player advantages of many types. WvW is not an e-sport, thus it should not be regulated as one.

You’re not sending Arena Net referees into my bedroom at night.

Evilzara.6378:

If you guys keep fighting for first place, you’ll end up third. Do what AR does and fight for 2nd consistently. It’ll be better for everyone.

Stop publicly revealing Brolis Rock plans.

Anvil Rock has joined forces with Borlis Pass to form the United Brolis Rock Phase Planning Committee in furtherance of our plans to enact phases of multi-tiered planning of phases for a test-driven model of continuous integration of granularly permissioned units of planned phases.

You’d feel at home, here. We already worship Our Holiest Lord Flame Ram.

However, we could definitely use at least a few transfers of Maguuman Priests, as we have recently encountered an insurrection of heretical idolatry in favor of Lord Cat Apult.

SAVE US!

I really wish BP would get off its high horse. GoM is obviously old enough to have a cell phone, and frankly I am tired of hearing GoM complain about it.

We already get small transfers (from servers like Maguuma), and we already keep that quiet. It hasn’t ruined anything.

Ssh.

Fraeg.9837:

Dude you are revealing too many plans and phases there. Was that post approved by the United Borlis Rock Phase Committee?

Yes. I received many threats concerning this, and revealing the fact that there is a directly proportional relationship between A(the amount of pleasure felt while clicking the “reply” button) and B(the likelihood that a clueless employee will find cause for deletion of your pleasure). This was brought before the United Brolis Rock Phase Committee, Plans Subcommittee, and it was therein determined upon due procedure that my posts would be forcibly removed and an extremely scary infraction would again be issued upon my account here in the Corporate Mindsuck of Humorless Pleasurevoid Registry of Carefully Worded Adversarial Debate.

As I considered it, I hummed to myself:

Plans and phases
Plans and phases

Kill death ratio ah haha

Burnnn.1903:

I am ashamed of a few specific members of our server that campaigned to demoralize our pugs for a week straight to further their own agenda even if it didn’t mesh with what the majority of the server wanted.

We demoralized them on reset night, and they spent the rest of the week compensating by spreading their misery like a “diease.” An unintended, but hilarious, consequence.

DtC.4806:

ps: AR u can thank us for giving u the mad boost in points against DH

Nice!

While we’re trading thank yous and such, could you pass on to your guildmate whom came to Anvil Rock server “for map completion” that he is welcome.

Woot Brolis Rock!

So im thinking AR, Im thinking we should take a vacation this week and kick Borlis up a tier.

Please don’t do that…I don’t know if I speak for everybody but I like it here! Tier 5 makes me lose sleep.

The next phase of our plans and phases, REVEALED!

Wait was that a plan or a phase, I’m so confused.

All according to plan.

I can’t take credit for that, Kar. “Brolis Pass” came from the match up thread of three weeks ago. I’m just keeping it alive as part of our overall strategy of plans and phases.

This week, our deal with BP is for AR to place third, finally, so that DH has a warm welcome into the tier as a superior Red Team over their predecessors.

anthsss.1564:

AR works out deals with BP so they can come in 2nd every week, that’s why they are focusing you guys.

We always hash out these deals with BP on a teamspeak server that we share, for the sole purpose of manipulating our tier for our amusement in regards to toying with the Red Team server that can’t stand against the combined might and cruelty of Brolis Rock.

Woot Anvil Rock!

Keeping that positive attitude, and not letting the coach down!

PS: Thank you to the Tarnished Coast recruiters that spent some time last week trying to pull Anvil’s Last Stand off of Anvil Rock server. We appreciated the flattery, and the irony of our guild name ever being present on any other server’s WvW.

We’d rather TC just give us back our Runaway Cat. We miss our lovely Charr roleplayer.

Atticus.7194:

Sadly AR no longer really has the numbers to stay competitive, sure there are guilds that help keep us around but by and large this is a dying server (like so many others) where the vast majority of players have just lost interest in WvW.

The matches these past few weeks have caused Anvil Rock to lose a few rating points, and that’s all. Look at our Server History and note that the server has been stable at it’s current position for two months, and in this tier for three months. Consistency is not a sign of death.

To the contrary, we’ve shown that our WvW population is stable and playing long-term. This makes our server an ideal location to transfer to from any tier, so long as integration into an existing community of friends is the core goal for doing so.

This:

Kardiamond.6952:

Where are our good players? In sPvP, as we are a sPvP server.

But we also have really good player in WvW

We occasionally find established sPvP players in WvW, here. When we do, they’re usually solo, no guild represented, and often refuse to join one. They’re only looking for a different mode of killing people, because they’ve grown tired of GW2 s/tPvP.

ALS has sPvP players. I see the maps in the roster every day. Many of our sPvP guildmates spend most of their time there, and are generally less active (in daily and weekly hours played) than our WvW members.

From what I can gather, WvW players are two kinds: New to PvP entirely, or experienced and actively seeking open-world non-structured PvP.

Small team PvP is simply a different beast, and it definitely dominates the interest of most of Anvil Rock’s best players.

There’s a large set of sPvP players in Anvil Rock that are here for that mode of the game only. They don’t care about WvW at all (even in concept, but definitely in design as-is in the game itself), and they will move on to another game rather than ever play WvW in GW2. Their only usefulness to our WvW players is as friends (the ones that can get over themselves and behave like sociable adults) and very difficult opponents for us when we go into sPvP to play (and we do, and we often have our kitten handed to us).

Every time this thread is bumped, I feel a strong desire to complete the subject sentence with two words, the final one being “OFF.”

Nuzt.7894:

I don’t know anvil, it seemed in lastweeks thread CHAR was overly friendly with some of NSP’s cool crew. Maybe they are just AR trolls, but I’m still leaning towards NSP.

Been there:

Anvil Pants.3426:

Last week’s matchup thread contained nearly two pages (prior to their deletion) of Anvil Rock’s [Charr] speaking cheezeburger (google it) with some of NSP’s trolls.

Trolls recognize their kind, and befriend their kind. They meet inside and outside the game, and their fun at your expense is not limited to the imaginary confines of ANet’s server loyalty and boundaries.

Anvil Pants.3426:

It’s a natural progression for trolls native to our server to find and befriend trolls on our opponent servers.

Get bored. Troll. Get bored. Troll harder.

Though, honestly, I think it all stems from Kodiak hurting their feelers one time when they tried to say something hilarious to the popular guy, and the big norn with the fancy hat didn’t appreciate their humor.

You’re bad, and you should feel bad!

I wouldn’t say that it’s safe to say any of that (about [Charr] originating from NSP). I saw their characters on server, in WvW, before all of this started. Weeks before. They weren’t even trolling back then. They were following commanders (myself included) and playing WvW normally.

Maybe they’ve just gotten bored, and sick of some people’s kitten, so decided to be kittenty back.

It’s a natural progression for trolls native to our server to find and befriend trolls on our opponent servers. Remember where Ronny went, to spite us? He took the easy way out, comparatively, if taking the kitten out of us was his goal.

Besides, I know exactly how pleasurable it is to read a forum post about myself or things I was involved in, to note just how hilariously mistaken the poor saps are about me and what happened to them. Newly-Tier-7 small man groups are notorious for making me LOL for that reason.

So, no, I wouldn’t be caught making assumptions about who is doing what, nor why.

Chances are that they not only don’t care for PvP; they’re actually quite bad at it.

Generally speaking, it’s probably best for all involved that they submit to that fact.

If the defense event ticks over twice, then on the third round all defenders should be allowed to dual-wield charzookas that fire Asuran thieves.

And thanks to you, Lanny. With all of our spies settled in BP, it’s amazing just how much intel we’re continuously not getting from our massive and deeply embedded imaginary spy network.

Hrolfr is posting about it here because the guildmate who tried to get a screenshot missed his opportunity. It’s a fully upgraded location, so it is definitely not the normal glitch where you get stuck in a wall while a captured location’s walls re-render.

This was an evasion (or exploit) of clipping, to move into the wall. We’ll be watching.

Won’t see Ronny in this fight… can’t actually golem rush a forum thread. 21 post salute?

I can confirm that Anvil Rock has moved all of its spies off of NSP. All zero of our spies have bought their gems and moved to BP.

No other tier has a green server that is actively afraid of going up to the next tier.

Haha, Dovgan! You died, Dovgan! /LAUGH

GrandmaFunk, I’ve tried (and am still trying) to talk Anvil Rock into doing more small group play in WvW. I do it myself, and know who to party with when I’m not solo. No offense taken, and glad that you’re having fun. Though I think organized group play (and not a lack of roamers per se) is our weak point. Dovgan and Kardiamond are right… AR is a militia, but an unregulated one.

Considering the “dieased” state of this thread, it was almost clean up to the point where anthsssssssssss and Syria decided to pretend to know things. C’mon, ugly side of NSP: Enjoy being green, and remember that you have Anvil Rock to thank for it!

This isn’t an AR matchup thread. You can stop having nightmares about us, now.

Sometimes, my commanders do their job too well, and I forget that I’m the one with counter-intel experience.

Oh, hello [BURN] leader. Sup brah?

Ok, ok, I’ll admit it, “NSP”. ALS has no skills; we never roam, we only zerg; plus, the moment Kodiak turns his tag off everything goes to kitten, AR loses every capture point it owns and starts blowing up Kodiak’s cellphone with “Commander?”, “Grub?”, “Stonemist?”

I can’t even get out of Citadel anymore because you kill me as soon as [Determined] ends.

its just my whispers that blow up really,. I imagine you all sit in citadel and watch the borderland get rolled when i go to sleep. Terrible dreams i have.

was fun tonight bp, went 3/3 on keep defense! that makes… 11/11 this week so far. I’m loving this break that im taking.

IKR? The whispers! But, you’d need to go to bed to have dreams. Go to bed.

Last night’s BP golems were good fun, though, even if we’re supposed to be taking a break and didn’t: Exceptions to every rule.

@ jkctmc.8754, Wryscher.1432: Too true. Some of my favorite players to roam with won’t even go into zerg fights due to culling and/or lag.

osif.8673:

A little video from the most irrelevant player of the most irrelevant guild during primetime reset shenanigans. Enjoy!

I’d rather BP not learn from mistakes, but I hope all of AR watches this.

What you can’t see, due to minimap zoom, is AR owning Bay (since reset, this was hours after reset), the southwest tower and the 3 adjacent supply camps. AR had its run of the map up to the point where BP had grown tired of AR BL (they owned it) and NSP had grown tired of EB (they owned it), so I guess it was time for the Reset-3-Way that normally happens on AR BL first thing. NSP had southeast tower and Hills.

In this battle, AR couldn’t see how badly BP was being trashed inside the tower, and should have sent in a thief to scout. Instead, AR got split in half. Half got inside the tower door, as the group was t-boned by BP reinforcements from Garrison and Citadel. AR was mostly dead before NSP zerg showed up, too.

AR and BP auto-targeting softened both sides, while NSP called-targeting (seen in video) cleaned house.

imalog.7689:

im taking a break this week. You’ll see less ALS action im sure :s
i guess that means you can finally train your commanders!

As Kodiak hinted to here, I called for a general stand-down for ALS commanders this week. We aren’t the first AR guild to take a break from WvW this month, and may not be the last.

ALS decided last-minute to go to BP BL instead of AR BL for reset, joining War Lords and Valiant Sword. Hence, BP BL being the scene of the usual AR BL 3-Way festivities.

Then, we took a break for an hour, and went to NSP BL, turning it blue for them to wake up to.

See ya when we see ya.

Rob.7624:

Who on earth is that big norn ALS Commander which has been in EB for a few hours around this time today.

We were running some commander training. And you sir should have been at it!

But thanks, we actually used how you tried to take SM as an example of how not to do it, and why it wasn’t working. And then built on how it should have been done. Was really helpful for the guys! Thanks

Step 1) Remove all armor.
Step 2) Wait for Rob to knock down the wall and gate.
Step 3) … naked …
Step 4) Own Stonemist.
