Definitely enjoyed this season, the intensity each server put forward was impressive.
I personally enjoyed the shorter 4 week platform. Previous seasons seemed to drag a bit.

Thanks for the effort and fun, from both friend and foe.

Hi RehTarD,

It may also be worth registering and throwing a quick post over on www.gw2blackgate.com
The wide majority of Blackgates WvW guilds are active there. And may offer you better success if finding what you are looking for.

Having been in [RIOT], and preferring small scale play (not zerg), you may like to check out roaming/small ops guild [oPP] http://www.gw2opp.com/

Pinkus (Elementalist):
“Shameless plug here for ressing AND spamming dem water fields to keep Blakey and Hyst up. Pro ele is pro”

Sully (Ranger):
“Shame the sound didn’t work. That would have made the video more clear to everyone for the shear panic that happens in hcpve”

Hysteric (Warrior):

For Zerg Play:

I’ve been trying Zerker armor and staff, with Strength Runes, Battle/Strength Sigils, and celestial accessories.

Staff ele is all about positioning.
Utilizing Armor of Earth, Mist Form, and Blink allows you to run super high DPS, even in larger 50+ vs 50+ zerg fights.

I used to run soldiers when learning to position properly, however have never looked back after the zerker/dps transition.

Simply, stay out of the red (circles), and away from the head (of the enemy zerg).

Good Luck!

Our first two “Hardcore PvE” Guild Wars – A New Dawn, teams started on their personal story adventures today! Team Leroy Jenkins, and Mighty Midgets… Good Luck!

~ First Light [HCPVE] Challenge = 1 Life, 1 Mission, complete the personal story, without a single death. You die, your mission is over, and your team continues without you. Two members from a team must complete the personal story to earn the 100gold reward! ~

DomJagger.3290:

hey there.am looking for a guild mostly active and doing guild missions close to my time gmt+8 and i think your guild is what am looking for. but may i ask how many active members you currently have?

Hi DomJagger,

Currently we have 30 members online @ peak, and 40-50 logins per day.
With our roster growing by 1-2 members daily.
(i.e. 50 people log in every day, but at varying times across our prime time)

Please do note, whilst we do missions, we are also a newly formed guild, and likely to have full missions back up and running for September. Totally up to you if you’d like to join us on the journey. We had 35 people online for missions this week.

Hope this information helps,
Blade

Deli.1302:

Is this a break off from NOC?

Simply, the start of a new era.

Hi Lloyd,

I’d recommend checking out the Blackgate forums if looking for a WvW specific guild:
http://gw2blackgate.com/

Most of the NA guilds have a post in the recruitment thread which could help you in making a decision.

Kiaora Sleepwalker,

Nocturnal have 15-20 active online during NZ Prime time (30-40 during Australia prime), we do however have a largely Australian based membership. On Blackgate Server.
Event times generally kick off @ 9pm NZT including Missions, WvW etc.
Being PvX we WvW 2-3 nights a week, and PvE/PvP/WvW Roaming the other nights.

Regarding comms, we have a 100slot ts server, and also utilize Blackgate community teamspeak for WvW.

As a fellow Kiwi, and co-GM of an oceanic guild, I’d love to see more of us re-unite on a server, we appear to be very spread, and few and far between. (I know of approximately 6-7 Kiwi’s on Blackgate 3 of which are in Nocturnal)

Hi Judah

What part of the world are you from, this will help us point you in the right direction.

Thanks,
Blade

Recruitment is still open.

You could try looking @ Attuned:
http://attuned.enjin.com/

Hi Nahla,

It would help a lot if you can confirm what time-zone you play
This will help ensure you find a guild active when you are active.

i.e.
North America
Oceanic (Australia/New Zealand)
Europe
etc etc

Thanks,
Blade

Given you are on TC already, I would recommend checking out your ‘local’ guilds, such as

pho.9412:

is 100% rep required at all times? I do wvw quite often and is looking for a wvw guild. I will wvw everyday if you guys wvw everyday. as for spvp, I’m looking to “learn” >.>’ since launch and I am only rank 21 in pvp. show you how muc I play that mode… I am on ts 100% of the time that I am on the game(the bg ts). I checked out your site it looks like a fit for me. I am looking for a hardcore wvw guild atm. I have been since EA disbanded (a bg wvw guild) more than a year ago, not many remember that guild since its been so long.I have been wvw by myself for over a year since and its getting boring, I want to make friends. I have not fully joined any wvw guild since then. I do run with the popular guilds when I am in wvw but have not join any of them since I do not like big guilds like Knt and the likes… sometimes with smaller guilds like hb and rise.

reason I am asking why 100% rep, cos I got a bank guild that need 10k rep but I am too cheap to buy it… so I was wondering if I do stuff like dailies to contribute to my guild bank rep then when I do other things I can rep rev.

having said all this if it is a problem I will buy the rep for my guild bank if you absolutely require 100% rep. will ap at the website.

I remember [EA], brings back good memories of the T2 days
[REV] are amazing Pho, with some high quality personalities, and players, I highly recommend.
Well worth the expense of buying your final 10k influence, if it’s required.

Portal bombing is always fun. Forward or reverse portal bombing isn’t anything new though, but it’s always fun and exciting.

Often like flipping a coin,

Heads: Glorious victory ^__^
Tails: A-bomb dropped on your head as you exit… X__x

lunoh.1963:

portal bombing … that’s soo 1990s! xD

Yeah! xD
Was a blast bringing it back that night lol

Evigishki Gustkraken.9623:

Hey, Do you guys wanna do some GvG?
I think if we can do 15v15 or 20v20 GvG sometimes during the match up is gonna be fun!!

Feel free to send me Message in game if you guys are interested!! :p

Thanks for contacting in-game Evigishki

As mentioned, we are PvX, between our usual WvW and PvE events, it leaves us little time to prep or participate in an organised GvG. But definitely appreciate the offer!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

“Reverse Portal”

http://youtu.be/tr8WVVOKGYM
Another fun night out and about.
We started putting our Mesmers, and the enemy, to the test.

The following video features the [NOC] #omniblob baiting the enemy ball into a reverse portal bomb. Not a new technique, but great when it works!

Oh shoot, i am that last MoM warrior with the genesis that you guys stomped at the end of the video, GG NOC well played….:)

Thanks for the fun mate! – Thumbs Up
And nice choice of Hammer Genesis certainly is a sexy beast.

This thread is ridiculous. Both origin, and respondents.
Only one sensible post by the [STUN] guy.

We (@ Nocturnal) will keep playing WvW as we always have, regardless of how the opposition respond.
See you on the borderlands tonight TC, and JQ.
