Guild Wars 2

Fantastic sign ups here! We are excited about everyone signing up

Tonight Thursday April 25th at 5:30pm PST to 8:30pm PST

I will be pming the participants our mumble information so they can get on and use it. We have plenty of spots, and are pumped by the responses so far. We will try to do a general get together for about 10 minutes before hand to give everyone a clear idea as to what we are doing, and see about getting a group Picture of everyone who is taking part in the event ahead of time.

There is still time to sign up!

Fantastic sign ups here! We are excited about everyone signing up

Tonight Thursday April 25th at 5:30pm PST to 8:30pm PST

I would love to see a few more signups here. We need at least 2 more thieves for this event.

Tonight Thursday April 25th at 5:30pm PST to 8:30pm PST

Don’t fear those who wish to take part if it doesn’t happen tonight for your profession we will do a future event and hopefully more will participate then.

Leeto.1570:

Is it just me or he mistook Leaderboard rank for sPVP rank, i dont think hes even in top 500.

I didn’t catch that. I appreciate the heads up. I will make sure I am more clear in my questions next time :P.

I may be playing another class since we have so many Necro’s for this event, but just a reminder for all NA players the event time:

Tonight Thursday April 25th 5:30pm PST to 8:30pm PST

flow.6043:

Quick reminder for all EU participants: today, 7pm @ GMT +1.
Hope to see enough people online!

Flow, be sure to mark them as EU deathdealers in BoC. Though to be honest they don’t have to join the guild for this event, and you can use our Mumble for both teams, just use any one of the channels :P.

Dolan.3071:

Put one on the weekend and I’ll be all over it :P

We will work on doing it depending on turn out during the week, and I would have to find someone else to host it :P.

We are short a few warriors, and really want to try and get a team to represent each profession. So sign on up!

Added the Nemesis podcast with Gameplay!

Jax.5261:

Sorry this was just way way too early. Slept through.

It hasn’t happend yet mate :P. It happens today Thursday the 25th at 5:30pm PST!

We try to add players who have been on the show, but I will have Beard and Danto take a look at the channel and see what they recommend. Amins is a scheduled guest so I kind of added his videos.

What an exciting week for the But of Corpse crew, this week we have none other than the famous Nemesis. In this week’s episode we cover everything about the Necromancer. We talk with Nemesis about guide writing, the direction of Guild Wars 2, the state of the Necromancer, and also the dramatic improvement to the forums. We want to thank every single player who has subscribed or listened to the podcast. What a great community and fans we have seen over the years. Nemesis gives us his list of changes and fills us in on exactly what it’s like being one of the foremost Necromancer PVE Experts.

We also asked him to give us 5 things that currently prevent the necromancer from being more effective in the current tournament mode.

Youtube version will be up shortly

miniatureian.2501:

Quis Redslinger Xll (those are Ls, for the astute)
Entire timeslot
Can record, still working on audio

I’ll be heading up the mesmer team. Unaccustomed to PvP myself, we could be in for a learning experience. I look forward to seeing some mesmers.

We will be using my mumble for it :P. Unless it fills up

The warrior one will be streamed hopefully on http://www.twitch.tv/tehmaker
If we can get enough Engineers I can probably convince Ostrich Eggs to stream,
Now all we need is a few more of each.

If any of you want to come, but feel like bringing an alt from another profession let me know!

The warrior one will be streamed hopefully on http://www.twitch.tv/tehmaker

If we can get enough Engineers I can probably convince Ostrich Eggs to stream,

Now all we need is a few more of each

So we have 4 out of 5, with a few players who are willing to flip to their ranger if they can be part of it.

Part of this awesome event will be streamed hopefully on http://www.twitch.tv/tehmaker

The warrior one will be streamed hopefully on http://www.twitch.tv/tehmaker

And we might get Kylia to show up need two more Mesmer!

STill need at least one or two more.

The warrior one will be streamed hopefully on http://www.twitch.tv/tehmaker

So the warrior version will be streamed hopefull on http://www.twitch.tv/tehmaker

However, we need at least three more warriors to get it done!

Dolan.3071:

^ I know that feel. That’s middle of the day for us… On a work day no less.

Well, next time we will give everyone a few weeks notice and appoint a EU leader to organize the event :p

Sorry for all the EU guys we really do love you!

Arganthium.5638:

Aw, kitten.

Sadly, these past few weeks I’ve had a completely loaded schedule, with school and all. Thursdays happen to be one of my busiest days, unfortunately.

If you ever hold more of these events, Bas, I’d be very interested in hearing about them. Sounds like a great idea, really, and I’d love to be able to show off my “bunker” thief.

We will do it again sometime. Our goal is to have fun and enjoy different avenues of gameplay. Plus its a great way to try new builds. My goal is to try and do this every two weeks. This one was a spur of the moment, so I don’t expect to fill all the teams.

its possible you could, but the goal isn’t to prove one thing or another. Its too have fun and enjoy learning from others about the Warrior. To test comps, and builds in a nonthreatening place.

On the note of 5 of any one will lose automatically. We took 5 Necros two weeks ago into 6 games and won our last two soundly. Our first two games were brutal, our next two we started figuring things our, and our last two games we dominated. Its entirely possible to go either way with 5 of one.

We need at least two more mesmer players who want to have a fun tournament experience.

Grounder.7381:

5 same profession tourney wont be balanced..
those 5 necros will aoe perma chill /cripple warrior to death..
just sayin…

And the 5 engi’s will train wreck one of the teams. There are no custom arena’s so we have no idea who will be facing who, and we might go several games without facing another one of the event teams.

It’s for fun, and possible bragging rights ;p.

Grimwolf.7163:

That means you should be starting around 8:30 EST. I can probably join in some time between 6:00 PST and 6:30 PST.

That knocks out two Thief spots and I believe I have two more that are potentials who messaged me in game.

Anthrage.2519:

Count me in.

In Game Name: Anthrage Stormrider
Time Available: 4:00 to 9:00 PST
Recording Capabilities: FRAPS

Awesome, we are filling up spots quickly. I should have put this out earlier in the week.

Kazhiel.8194:

Where does one locate your mumble info?

I will relay that information via pm before the event :P.

Oscicat and I were talking about doing this event for the EU as well on a separate occasion.

Jax.5261:

I’ll play if I’m on, not 100%sure.
Silven
Can’t record.
If we do this again in 2weeks+ I can be there for the entire event and record.

Added you to the list, I will see if I can get at least Beard there to help out as well

Dirame.8521:

Bas.7406:

ziggs are you eu or NA?

Ostrich Eggs will be making an appearance for the engineer tournament team during this event! this is your opportunity to team up with the man himself.

EU, sorry I didn’t put that in there.

No worries, EU will have to run on a separate time than NA. I will see what I can do.

So we have potentially two Necro teams on NA and EU side, we have 32 total signups for the entire event so far with a total of 4 tourney teams. If you have guildmates and friends who play other professions we are going to try to have a team for each profession running at the same time. get them on the forums and signing up

32 signups of 60 potential players 4 total teams ready to go with even more moving forwars. This will be a great night for tournament fun. We still need an all guardian team

sorry thats 60 potential tournament players queuing up 8 to 9 teams. The queues should be short tomorrow during the event.

We have the potential of 50 people being around during this event with 32 signups already, dont miss out on your opportunity to take part in a great event.

ziggs are you eu or NA?

Ostrich Eggs will be making an appearance for the engineer tournament team during this event! this is your opportunity to team up with the man himself.

awesome to see the ranger community jumping on board so quickly. the Necro and Mesmer teams are full already, we can still use more sign ups. so tell your friends and neighbors! We could potentially have 50 plus people queuing for tournaments for this event which would be amazing for the tournament community.

awesome to see, no experience needed. we are going to be rolling against some experienced teams during this event since I have informed a majority of the players I know. Most of them are excited to see a full tournament queue.

Its possible you will run into the five man rookie necro team or an organized team or a bunch of solo queuers. it is meant to have fun, and meet other players and begin to talk strategies about how to play certain roles as your class. dont worry about your experience just come with the idea of having fun, and talking with other players.

Eviator.9746:

How could this possibly work? Apparently everyone will run HGH engineers and none of them will ever die…

i must be typing something wrong, but how would they ever face each other. it not engineers versus engineers its 5 engineers on a team running tourneys on the same day as a 5 (insert profession) team is also running tournaments.

this isnt hot joins, but tournament queuing so you could potentially face random solo queues, organized teams, or another one of the guys doing the same event.

Grimwolf.7163:

I’m willing to join in on it, but I don’t have a regular schedule with which I can just throw out times when I’m always available. Afternoons on Monday and Wednesday are usually good though, as are weekends some time after 5:00-6:00pm est.
My in-game name is Kieran Wolf, NA, and I have no recording software. I do have a mic though.

Well the current timeslot for this game wide event is tomorrow between 5:30pm PST and 8:30pm PST. We are trying to get multiple professions rolling in the tournament queue at the same time. Insta Queue!!!

Amadeus that would be an awesome name, though really long :P. I do love Engineous haha

Super Riceman.8702:

But if you made one it would be engineous

haha, nice, Now someone just needs to sign up for this event :P.

Okay so I finally found the naming one here are the names we can use and not get lowered ratings or possible penalties on itunes :P

Lost Virtues
Save Yourself
Virtued
Ka-Boon
En Guard
Merciful Indirection
Consecrated
Bunker Down

I will let the list here last the week and then we will select out of the top voted.

Personally I like Bunker Down

Super Riceman.8702:

How come you can only come up with clever titles for the other classes?

The titles used for the professions that have titles are the titles of their Podcasts. We don’t currently have a podcast going for Engineers, Ele’s, Warriors, or Thieves.

Our current podcats are as follows

But of Corpse – Necros
Mesmerized – Mesmers
Arrow to the Knee – Rangers
Boon Virtue’d (roundly asked for a change) – Guardians

Our goal is to have one in each profession. Next on our target list are Engineers and Elementalists. I will begin working with Amadeaus to start an Engineer podcast next week.

Frenk.5917:

No way this tournament can be something good. I fear the moment when two D/P thieves encouter each other. Perma stealth for hours.

haha, again you missed the point.

We are doing 5 of each profession and then starting the tournaments. If we do it all at the same time we will end up running into each other often enough.

It’s all about having some fun with your profession!
