@ Bones….
Funny how fast you rush in to defend your own server when the shoe’s on the other foot though, isn’t it?

What the hell does that even mean lol. I’m sorry but i put on my shoes correctly since i was 7 years old?

Yea if any1 can do it and it works to defend against invaders, whats the issue? we’ve done that as one of the tactics, we’ve wiped you guys several times as one of the tactics. Sorry that we choose to not throw countless bodies at a tower, our commanders stubbornly refuses us to be farmed by you guys because when we try it always happens in reverse.

I’ve seen plenty of thieves over in CD as well, luckily i play a build that facerolls glass cannon anything, except for heavy armor glass cannons becasue their toughness is still decently high, i purposely go out to look like i would be a easy kill, and then i burst out my damage on him killing glass cannons in 5-7seonds if even. thieves that are glass dies to me in 4seconds, and eles die in about 7seconds.

That is why i know you are not a veteraned player yet in wvw.

@ raincrow

Also you must realize we’re waking up to have to rally up players to take back fully fortified garrison/keeps/towers/camps, unless you’re night crew didn’t do it for some reason. We can’t just flip it in a matter of 2mins and if we can you guys are just baddies. Also we’ve taken SMC plenty of time, but we just don’t hold it past a night because of number issues, mainly because when the nightcrew of CD kicks in, that’s their primary focus and everyone in this tier knows it for a fact. SMC belongs to CD at night because the zerg will come for it sooner or later, although it’s quite nice to have, and when i see we have it, i always try to give thanks to our EB players who were there.

Secondly your second post is wrong, we can hold out for an extremely long time, are you kidding me? maybe when massively outnumber or when not in keep but everytime we’ve had siege there and numbers to defend, i’ve never seen you guys flip the keep from us. My example is going to be on opening night on Friday just a couple days ago in EB bl (don’t know if you were there but idc) we held the keep all night from both servers attacking us, in fact one of your commanders actually whispered our commander saying he was going to push us into our little corner while EB pushes us at the same time to take this keep from us, our commander simply laughed as well as our server in mumble did, though not at him, we simply responded go ahead, and guess what? ended up getting farmed by us like a boss for 4hours. they got wiped 4-5×. eventually it got late like 2am and most of them either logged or got so demoralized they did something else. Not to mention before they attacked us, EB was trebbing us from their garrison, and made a 2hour attempt for the keep but realize they wouldn’t take it, and got smart left, waited til CD attacked us, and they went to go and flip back their east keep from you guys. Basically there was no way in hell you guys could take a keep from us if we defend it properly. I won’t name which commander and which guild it’s from but it shows what kind of character he had. Yes we were pinned down to just a keep in that map and couldn’t leave to flip camps except for a couple occasional camps but we held out against both servers pushing both from the north and east, so i consider that a win. Another example is saturday night(to be exact sunday morning) was when EsF rolled in with the zerg of 60+ (dont argue with me, we’ve been through this, read all of this forum thread as well as the commander of EsF former post before denying this which is in our prev locked thread because of inflammatory posts) we held them at garrison for over 4 hours, with 25players, the only reason the garrison fell was because they were able to split their force into 20/40 or whatever the ratio was to go treb our east keep with the 20 and then the 40 backed off to the NW tower and when the majority of our players went to go destroy those trebs the 40 players came out of NW tower to destroy all our siege then portaled 4-5golems to knock through our gates before we could even run back in time. It was a well played move by EsF and other players there, but when you guys become obnoxious and saying stuff like we got dominated it makes me laugh especially posts like we only had 20 players there, please gtfo of here if you can’t keep it real.

If you’ve evenly remotely played this game as much as you say you do, you should already know by now, it’s easier to defend target location with less numbers then it is to capture it with superior numbers. The high thief/mesmer ratio is just funny i thought, if you haven’t noticed it’s become the choice of profession for wvw now for some reason, thieves in my opinions are baddies (most of them because those portion believes heartseeker+stealth=win) but mesmers are better, not many mesmers are baddies, which is why people qq about mesmer being OP. Wrong. Mesmers are the choice of profession by players who play better usually because it takes a certain amount of skills more than another class to be good at it.

Raincrow.1840:

Bones.5762:

I think like many have said, we might be more inclined maybe to try to win(putting more effort) if the numbers were even throughout all times

Sure, I can see that. But when CD is down in numbers we still care about the score, and we still make attempts at objectives that will make an impact on the score. Obviously there are going to be people who bail when the score is low, but for the most part our commanders are still there, still attempting to go after big targets… and again, that’s what I love about CD.

The only reason I’m even bringing this up is that so many Maguma players love to come here and bash CD as if we have no skill…. but my point isn’t that one server or style of playing is better then the other… it’s that we do have skill, it’s just focused towards different objectives.

If you’re implying that we don’t make attempts at objectives, i believe you’re mistaken. We still take objectives that we can, it’s not like we just flip towers and camps only, we flip keeps and defend them as long as we can, at least during my time playing, i haven’t been on for a couple days, so i don’t know if this has changed.

Also i believe the reason they were bashing you guys were actually over numbers originally, but you guys kept denying it, so they just started using the word mindless for some reason. There’s no server that truly just sucks, if there is, i feel for them, even t8 has players that are good, tiers don’t mean skills, it just means population and coverage in wvw.

I’m so lost…..

O wells, haven’t played much today because busy with finals and homework, last week of school, so i guess ill see you guys on reset if the match stays the same.

My point is, that If you don’t try to win, you don’t put yourself in a position to EVER win. Because of this, it becomes easy for you guys to discount the score, but in the long run you’re not doing anything to get better in regard to what WvW is actually about.

I think this is where our servers disagree.

That was my point.

It’s not that we don’t try, it’s that it’s not our intention, we play to the fullest, or else we wouldnt even bother sieging up a keep/tower/camp and defending it, our intentions is to enjoy the game, winning is a luxury that shouldn’t be chased after, hell i want a mansion but i’m enjoying living in my apartment.

That’s a nice sentiment but it contradicts many of the other posts being made by Maguma players who seem unaware that there’s any point to winning at all.

Again, I’m not telling people how you SHOULD play. I’ve made it very clear that if you enjoy playing without looking at the score, then by all means that’s how you should continue to play. I’m just making an observation as to how the attitude that the score doesn’t matter effects the way you DO play.

also i can’t speak for the whole entire server, that’s just my opinion, they share similar interests but not 100%.

I think like many have said, we might be more inclined maybe to try to win(putting more effort) if the numbers were even throughout all times, but because you guys are able to field more players during nighttime, it wouldn’t matter what we do because you guys will always have a 20k point lead overnight, so unless we totally deny you guys points during primetime and off hours it would never happen, and if it did ever happen shame on you guys for the crappy defense, you guys were handed fully upgraded towers/keeps/camps overnight and didn’t have to do anything except siege and defend important locations.

The reason we farm for badges is for more siege, most of the players who actually play alot is badge broke, so siege in no way is some kind of special item we horde in our bank, at least for me, or else i would have like 6 stacks of them if not more, i can’t even remember how much siege i’ve bought or gear i’ve bought with it. I don’t believe the mentaility is different, you’re just making it sound different, yes it would be nice if maguuma won, but it’s ultimately better if we win just playing casual instead of playing this hardcore for a win. I don’t ever go to wvw with the intention of “ok so today if we attack server (a) we’ll come on top” i go in there with the mentality of, ok so who do i feel like attacking today, hopefully it’s server (b) because i hate those guys because reason xyz. (not really but you get what i mean)

Well talk about a load of crap from some players from CD, hopefully you guys are able to manage this within your own server, hell just report them, they knew exactly what they were doing, if you see them doing it, report them all. I doubt this will stop it at all but worst case scenario harass the hell out of them with everyone in map chat.

exploiting? Looks like the Skill Rankings are now #1 Ehmry bay #2 Maguuma and #3 Crystal Desert. Need some sweet pvp vids with Call My Maybe playing to get back into the game.

IMO I’d rather have videos made exclusively made from match openers when it’s the most hectic with Friday in the background. Who’s with me?!

Only if i get to be that thief that daggerstorms everybody.

Wait that means i have to roll a thief…

No judgment, I got my thief (and mesmer) to 80 basically to grief people.

fine, i guess ill just be that engineer that drops supply crate, jeez. Yum Yum told me to roll a necro, and i’m actually loving it so far. he said he would show me some tricks with it, so i’m eager to wait til friday a couple hours before reset to start crafting to 80 as thats where the crafting bonus will be highest.

Crystal Desert’s REDT guild is exploiting into west keep inner again. Only now, a mesmer portaled the QQ guild inside now.

We have it frap’s, reported, and screenshotted up the yin-yang. Do not follow exploiter portals or you will get punished along with them.

YOU THE MAN!

Jabtangs.9251:

My concern is that at the current state of the game, WvW will not last until Feb.

Just found some irony here that Arena Net has shown during the AMA last week:

What is your/ANet’s definition of grind?
Repetitive game play that is not fun.

Eh, so WvW is grind? Grinding is Cursed Shore had a meaning to it, since it was a progress towards a legendary item (I gave up after the DR patch). What is the point of grinding in the borderlands when I really get nothing? People can just not play WvW until there is some reward to it or at least it is not “grind” anymore.

True, i’m sure most wvw players if not all are aware of the population decrease in wvw due to many of these factors, if none of them is address they will lose players, it’s not a qq or anything, i believe it to be a sound fact because even I a devout player in this game will quit eventually, not now but if there’s no change, i will just move on.

flyro.6083:

lol @ Magumma talking at all. Your server got slammed 2 weeks in a row! Simple as that! Go back to t5 were ya belong!

You are correct, in fact this open post should be called Crystal Desert’s ego, and only crystal desert players should post there, would that be better for you? I’m totally fine with just a OP with EB and us, they act more civil.

Pray for the Feb patch to make things alot better, because although the wvw aspect of the game is great it is repetitive, new maps would make things interesting, and i know it can be done because anet was able to make 6 new fractals in about 1-2months i believe. The game is still great but it can’t keep living on past glory if it is suppose to succeed in the long run, i would hate for this game to become a figment of my imagination as i want to play this game for many more years to come.

Convenant.7092:

Jinks.2057:

W/L/D doesn’t matter.

Killing people and making them AoN before the stomp is where the funs is

So what I understand from this is you enjoy downing some random zergling, and fantasize you killed a AoN member before stomping him? You need to consult somebody, man.. there’s more to this game than AoN…

lol is that what he meant? it was so confusing i just didn’t bother to ask him lol, if thats the case there’s really something wrong, if you believe AoN is the super threat from Maguuma (no offense) they are good, but not like the number one guild to look out for or anything, hell i wouldn’t even know which guild is the number 1 guild in maguuma, and i don’t believe there needs such a label unless you actually named your guild number 1.

zastari.1730:

I hope that EBay Zerg in Mag BL had fun getting knocked straight off the map. It’s nice to be back on Maguuma

lol i’m so confused zastari i see you all the time in forum posts in kaineg/fc/dr posts, so i’m lost at which server you’re on.

Also my prediction in 2 weeks matchup t4 will be FA, Mags, Dragonbrand. sounds like a great matchup that will be close.

Actually i have new intel my former guild/alliance went back to DB which was their original home server, so they might be coming up to t4 soon, it would be an interesting match seeing them again.

well i don’t know that for sure i was just saying. but if going down a tier meant a closer match then this, i would be all hands down for it.

Diehard.1432:

Phzt.9864:

Look at our dear friends Crystal Desert in this thread as an example. I’d rather keep having fun than letting a scoreboard tell me how to enjoy myself.

Please elaborate or link the quote? Another baseless attack just makes you look like idiot, no?

I think his full quote meant that if we cared about attracting players who only wanted to win, they would be bandwagon guilds, which most players hate. I have heard lots of guilds left your server once you guys started losing, and no i don’t have any facts but this always seems to be the case with all servers, but people shouldn’t join your server to become bandwagon players/guilds. It’s why we don’t care about score and we play the way we do in my opinion that is. We don’t want to move up and get facerolled but it would be interesting facing new opponents, and don’t wanna go down a tier and faceroll either because that’s even worse, so all i can say is get on our level in a good way.

Become t4 quality server and fight us, not t3 that got pushed down to t4, or t5 that facerolled t6 servers to get to t4, But then again it’s hard to get a equilibrium of server match ups, and oddly enough CD is one of them stuck in between t3/t4. EB and Mag i believe belongs exactly where they are, and i’m fine with that, but we need a new servermate to play with.

Nope, not at all, not because of loyalty but because i play for fun, winning comes second, i would much rather have fun losing a good server matchup then just dominate a server tier so hard that you have to spawn camp them for kills. People by nature want to win, i don’t mind winning but all it brings with it is possible bandwagon guilds, or players that starts to trash the other servers.

Halo.8976:

Bones.5762:

Well except for the fact that he exploited he actually had a nice build i thought, but i guess that doesn’t mean much.

He’s not that bad and doing this to actually cure WvW from exploits.

Just try to use exploits in public and you’ll see how your own teammates are reporting on you, since no one wants to be “hacker server” (I saw how this killed GoM once).

I hope for his sake this is the case, because openly making a build that can actually take down a keep lord solo and all the npc is a good video that should’ve been seperate but when he added the exploit into it, it’s kind of an open invite to other players(hackers/exploiter) to start doing this with mesmers and insta cap towers. Granted there’s a small portion of player base taht actually do this, it’s still annoying for this to happen.

Haldunius.7864:

I disagree. It does not reflect real world battle tactics because we don’t have magic in the U.S. yet.

Wrong! we have chris angel, although he’s a kitten. Also when were we able to cast meteor showers with elementals in the real world?

Titan.3472:

Hello here Titan War Commander of Omega Warlord CD [LORD] Guild

Last 3 hours in EB we had the pleasure to show our ennemies some superior tactics.

Dear Maguma, we let you take Quentin with your great zerg of 50 people as it was not upgraded and we knew that you would come to our side to hit the camp after the Hylek area.
We could provide you some nice memory pic’ of that cute zerg that met 20balistas and standed like 30sec :p

Second great move was our zerg split in 2 forces : first took lord and your zerg trying backstabbing them get backstabbed by our second team and once again (CD 20 fighters vs 50mag zerg :p)

We can provide you some video or screen on every moves you fail if you really want.

We could follow your steps posting videos but flaming a server is just not CD way of gaming we are not from the same world and we are proud to spank you because of how you troll.

Sad people can’t just play and keep their mouth close that would be fine for all to keep that thread clean but as always we wonder who has the biggest no???

As far as I have fun as CD player i don’t mind score and i wish we stay in T4 to keep learning you how to play better.

Always First in charge and last standing !

Was a great fun evening thanks to our opponents !

I know you tried to not bash a server, but you just bashed the server, but ok, agree to disagree, Videos are always edited to fit the parts people like and dislike, would you post a video our your own server getting stomped? also your reaction to the video might be a little too serious. I don’t know how people are taking this video seriously when it’s playing “call me maybe” in the background.

TheFug.5278:

All we have is numbers. I may troll a bit, but our non-guilded people are some of the most frustrating people to try and fight with. They do some really REALLY stupid things, even if the good commanders tell them to do the opposite. It’s one thing to not know the mechanics of the game or best siege placement – everybody starts somewhere. But it is another thing to actively ignore what your commanders tell you and then get pissy when the treb you built within cannon range gets owned before it gets built.

The fact is that most of CD is actually really bad. We have a few really good, organized guilds but our zerglings are the calibre of player that shouldn’t be above tier 5. Our zerglings are the type of people who stand still in a spot without watching their surroundings only to get jumped by a supply drop and a DPS bomb

And yes sometimes we can put out a 60 man zerg at 6 AM. We have a few groups rolling multiple battlegrounds, but eventually they will all converge on 1 BG after the rest are capped and there will be 60 people easy (I even have the screenshots to prove it).

If any of our bg’s don’t have a decent presence from any of the main guilds then that BG will lose every single keep – and quickly.

Maybe you troll a little too much, maybe i’m offended too much too, who knows, all i know is when i see something i don’t like i react, but then i get over it, but when i see it again i react again, kind of an endless loop i guess. Nice to know you acknowledge some of these things, I dont personally know much about the players of your server so i can’t say.

There will always be individuals but when a whole entire server (at least all the server forum posters) start insulting, the respect for that server is lost, many don’t care but that just leads to forum wars.

While we do have huge numbers on our night crew, don’t forget those numbers are split between 4 different maps. While we may get to ignore our borderlands, thats still split between 3 maps. Honestly, I’ve stayed up late to play with our night crew many times already and our typical zerg is about 20-25 people usually. Unless you counted every single enemy, it’s pretty hard to get the exact size what with mesmer clones, pets, and everything all contributing to the horde of red names. I’ve seen people on our side call out a zerg of “40” Mags which only turned out to be around 15 with a bunch of pets.

Yes that would be true for most cases because people overlook pets, i know, but EsF said they believe in numbers (not a bad thing just saying) so they most likely didn’t split their entire force in one bl, and fug said they brought 20kh players to mag bl, and i saw a lot of other guilds like lw, and some i’ve never seen before, I’m just saying i’ve honestly never even seen a group of players this huge taking an objective before, not even during NA primetime. the biggest i’ve seen is 40, i’ve been around since bw1 to know how big a group of players is, and that group of enemy that night was definitely not 20players like some claim, it was at least 60 because i couldn’t even see some players because of culling due to massive amounts of number.

Well, I don’t play every night so it might have been possible for 60 people to have been there that one night you encountered them.

Yeah i don’t usually stay up past 3am usually, but there was still many interesting things going down. I wish people who post about things like this would come here with more grace and dignity instead of spouting nonsense flaming one entire server calling them trash at 4am. If you wanted to boast about it, you couldve been subtle just saying great fight, held out for a long time against odds, instead of post before.

I am not mad because you guys have numbers, but failing to acknowledge it and pass it onto the forums saying you guys had only 1/3 or even 1/4 of that number is quite insulting to everyone, how would you guys feel if other players from other servers said they only brought 5man to target objective and they annihilated your group of 25players everyday.

Yeah, i won’t lie, if honestly CD became more organized (not saying they’re not organized just saying it could use work), they would be one hell of a server to compete against, even against TC. One of the guild leaders of EsF already said they field out about 30-40 players per night on map, and tht doesn’t even include the random players and other guilds with him. Fug you also said KH was putting out 20ish per night too i believe or at least this weekend you did, that already equals up to a 60man zerg at night, not even including the other players with him, and now when i think about it, the zerg couldve honestly been 80players total, which is so wtf. EsF is organized, they cap things that need to be done like quaggens, no matter how trivial and dumb it looks its actually really smart and i give them props, i just wish we could field more players to give them a good fight because they obviously didn’t want to pvd like other night crews, which explains why they stayed in Maguuma bl the other night for 6hours trying to cap a garrison, and eventually leaving the bl when they realized it would be impossible to cap the east keep. I’m really glad that finally somebody from CD has openly admited their numbers and has the qualities of a professional guild leader.

Also if you watch the video those people were moving slightly.

@ fug
the only surprise i have at 4am is nightmares about you actually possbily getting good.

This is why you are losing, you are easily impressed by yourselves and your mediocre capabilities.

Agreed. Nothing compared to the great Crystal Desert who wins entirely by pushing themselves to new heights.

It’s not that we push ourselves to new heights, it’s that we stomp you guys to new depths.

I don’t know if that’s true. There’s only one video posted here, and it shows Ehmry Bay dominating your server pretty hard. Video doesn’t lie, TheFug.

Neither does the scoreboard, sweetheart!

edit: Score is

CD: 147k
Maguuma : 68k
EB : 52k

Don’t worry, keep posting those video’s and ANET might just bump you up a tier because of mad skills.

Talk about a case of obsessive ego. Good, now go up a tier then cry about zerging again, nobody in this tier besides some players from CD wants to bump up to tier 3. Scoreboard don’t lie, but videos dont either, truth is, those 7-8 didn’t even need those player to be afk, they got stunned by supply crate if you know what that is, but if you don’t ill give the brief dumbed down version for you, basically it drops a supply crate on target location, with turrets, those in the aoe gets stunned. it happened so fast none of them even could react obviously.

Assassinin.4963:

Snowgoons.6349:

why exactly would someone only pve anyways? i don’t even understand people that only pvp/wvw. why would you NOT want to experience 100% of the game? i guess the same reason why people drop $59.99 on call of duty every year and rush to only play a subpar online fps experience :/

You are coming from the perspective that there is only one game that player can play. The truth is, it is not.

Players who want to pve will play in the best pve game. Players who want to pvp will play in the best pvp game. That is why you tend to see players engaging in only one type of game play within a single game. That does not mean they don’t pve or pvp entirely. It is just in different games.

Game developer who don’t appreciate this fact and focus on their core competency but spread themselves thin trying to be best in EVERYTHING is just asking for trouble.

I don’t really know what the issue is with this, anet is doing a great job i feel, I don’t know how much changes anet can put into wvw every month, yes they need fixes here and there but the game isnt broken. I’m sure about even 70% of the people who player wvw all the time still stop to pve the new events they put out, aka halloween, fractals. There are so few that actually never even stepped into either i can’t imagine it being more than 10% of the player base.

The halloween event was extremely well done, when you take out the extreme lagfest in LA and some bugs here and there in their mini games/puzzle it was actually a huge success. Most people hate the MK clock tower jp, but i honestly loved the challenge, it took me about 2 hours to finally complete it when it came out, but man was it satisfying. My satisfaction with this JP was the complete opposite of beating Arah SM dungeon for the first time. So when the fractal jp came out i was disappointed at the lack of difficulty, yes it was still hard but it took me only 6 attempts i believe to get it. But i do understand it was extremely challenging for some players, so they need some love in that aspect as well considering if they want the halloween items.

Axle.5182:

WvW doesn’t pay the bills and as mentioned above it’s population is only a fraction of the games total member base.

I don’t believe that this is true.

People interested in WvW is actually a large number, but unless there is a focus to keep it interesting, they will never capture that audience to it’s full potential.

I actually agree with axle here, how many wvw players buy gems from the gem store? Yes gw2 had a massive amount of game sales but they need income to keep gw2 free, and i would rather have them make new pve events all the time instead of subscription fees. I’m sure can already tell i’m broke/cheap, or both.

Not sure why you guys hate the video

It’s the context that I object to. After 2 weeks of “friendly trash talk” in wich we’re called mindless, skilless, zerglings,etc. it stops being “friendly” if you could ever call it that, and just becomes disrespectful.

That and the vid’s title.

maybe it’s just because i’m really laid back, and i can just forget about who said what and why, even if this happened to mags i would be laughing as well. I just thought it would be something better, i was so hoping to see some other fights from SM since they are a good guild that coordinates well, but it was like a 5second fight that was funny but not satisfying.

This really might be the server for you, Maguuma, the best defenders I’ve played with, they play more defensively than offensively. Hell just about every night we defend random objectives for hours. I remember how we defended our one supply camp from both servers attacking us back to back for over 4hours. They eventually gave up and we went on our way to capture the keep. Most fun i’ve ever had hands down, also someone picked up a precursor from one of the invader drops. I’m not trying to recruit you to the server, but if you are interested in heavily defensive servers trust me, maguuma is for you, we defend keeps for hours, even towers and camps. Our commanders will literally stop what they are doing to go back to defend our stuff before even attacking.

Even as soon as white swords pop out we call it out on the server mumble and all hell breaks loose for small man groups trying to flip camps/towers. If you want more info, shoot me an in game mail, and ill explain more of the stuff we do, but thats generally the gist of it. Also i came to maguuma unintentionally because my intended choice of server was full, but it turned out to be 5x better than what i hoped it be, an uphill battle with lots of casual players who actually defend.

Also i have no guild for you to join because i just stick to my one man guild because the server shares a mumble which a majority of the player base use so i didn’t feel the need to join a big guild, because it’s not guilds that are coordinated in maguuma, it’s the server, but if you want a big guild, I’m sure guilds like DV or ACM or RMNT and other guilds wouldn’t mind having you join (not sure on their number counts), i would test the water out first with the server before choosing a guild.

Not sure why you guys hate the video, thought it was a decently funny and friendly video, don’t get mad because it was your server mates, I too have been owned by Shadowmoon guild, they are good so i doubt it would change much if they were aware. Also i saw 2 elite skills supply drops, which stunned the whole entire group for 4-6 seconds anyways not allowing them to even react unless they had stun break, but they seemed very glassy to me, but couldve just been because a lot of daggerstorm.

Supply crate ftw!

I just wonder why portal bomb works against some groups nine times out of ten, but some groups wipe portal bomb almost always.

Because the players who pull of portal bombs alot become paranoid when they see shadow refuge and stacking, as soon as i see i call it out even before it happens, allowing us to defend our siege against portal bombing, granted this doesn’t always work out in our favor but knowing what to look for and to get everyone to be able to coordinate fast enough to just instantly down people coming out of a portal will destroy portal bombing, it’s about as effective as it is ineffective when both sides know how to use and counter.

Definitely not a boring week, maybe a rocky start so far but it’ll get there i guess. I’m really curious where the majority of EB players went, Hope it’s just a temporary break and not a mass xfer out.

wow, 6hours? really? i mean when i first found the log trap granted i stayed tehre for 30mins-1hour but it eventually got boring and i personally just felt bad, and vowed never to go to that trap ever again. It’s the devil!

lets see, you joined magurma months ago, as a GOON. then switched to CD the first time mag faced them and got destroyed. then you make a LF guild post asking to join a CD guild.

what server you hopping to after CD gets kitten kitten in T3?

LOL! You obviously think I’m trash if you think I was in Goon Squad. I was on Maguma during Maguuma v DB v DH. Your continued insistence on my fair-weather playing is quite amusing like it’s some kind of insult to not be SERIUS BIZNESS about this game.

It’s been a good fight so far, I’m a maguuma goon, and it seems like anywhere I go there’s at least 5-10 darkhaven, you guys are really taking the fight to us.

I didn’t wanna take sides, but man you got owned. He had the proof right there.

Hugable.7160:

Hi Guys

I am Commander Hugable From the Guild EsF (Oceanic Prime Time: GMT+8)
I am 1/3 of the guild leader primarily focus purely on wvw..

First to all opponents of Mag and Ebay you have proven yourself to be great opponents. I salute you and I learn a few new tricks from you guys/ladies. And please focus on other cd players can I think I am a mark man coz I am always the first to be in down state 99% in every fight.

These past 2 week of CD vs Mag vs Ebay, EsF have been primarily been using Eternal Battlegrounds and the other 2 servers as a playing field. We wipe our opponents a few time and we (EsF) also got wipe but EsF policy is play wvw to have fun. We employ a lot of various methods/tactics to take keeps/tower/red dots and we always love to have fun also we salute our opponents for responding to the various methods of taking out EsF siege weapons. I salute mag for trying to counter ruin tower treb by sending teams of player to build ball to take out the treb. That ruin tower jumping puzzle is hard to jump up but once up as mag opponent notice trebs can hit smc, langor, the keep, quentin and even durios.

To be honest, our guild has been seem as a zerg guild and I will not deny that cause on our informal and formal wvw run, we field about average 5 parties to 8 parties and we primarily wvw 7 days a nite for 3 hours and we do have other cd players run with us resulting in our numbers in our prime time swelling. Currently I am the only commander of EsF as the commander icon is expensive and I got mine icon about 1.5 month later in the game since launch and I have the support of EsF guildies to help me on it. To the point of zerg, I am a strong believer in safety in numbers always and I understand that why we are label as zerg but as a mindless zerg i would like to counter, I been stating objectives for all EsF guildies and we set out with a purpose to achieve it.
To the point of hitting a gate multi times is a purpose even though I know it is defend with siege weapons we as a guild will do it we want to draw as much attention to us as possible and see other servers responding to our attack so that the rest of the cd players will have a chance to take other objectives. Once EsF have the attention of Ebay and Mag, sometime you realise we are no longer there as we feel we have drawn the attention to us and we pull out and hit other targets of oppourtinty. This is a simple art of war method. Even if EsF was wipe we have fun, if EsF wipe red dots we have fun but ironcially i seen red dots once they see EsF roaming around in front they just stand there to be wipe but i applaud you(red dots) for standing to us and even managed to down me even if you know that you will be wipe.

But to me at a personal opinion defending hills (East Keep) is the best in every borderland but attacking it is a nightmare but capturing it is a joy.

So to our fellow opponents, thank you for the past 2 weeks of fun.
To all CD commanders, you have been a joy to work with.
To all Ebay/Mag commanders. you have been outstanding opponents.
To every players on the three servers, you guys rocks in wvw

/salute

Commander Hugable {EsF]

ps to mag/ebay wvw player STOP AIMING ME PLEASE :P wonder if i drop any badges/exotic for you guys.

I salute you good sir!

No, i don’t believe you guys were mindless as you guys did split forces to take objectives such as quaggens to contest our keeps, and treb our east keep from NE camp when we was defending our garrison splitting our forces in a much needed time. I was just upset at some forum post saying you guys only numbered 20 when you had 50+ at garrison, and i heard there was 10 players around capping supplies and camping them as well.

PS
I do focus fire on commanders when i see the, they seem to drop badges with a ratio of 4/5 for me from my experience, but my rares just come from random kills. Also a random note, someone in our server in EB bl the other day picked up a precursor legendary weapon, we was all shocked and felt we had the need to grind EB players for a precursor now, at least me now, everytime i kill a EB player now i have hopes of a precursor.

No, because you abandoned WvW to do fractals when we needed people the most.

Dang, CD is like a concentration camp. You dudes need to lighten up.

Nah, we are cool. It is just that we’re a bit disappointed when some unknown people are undermining other people’s work while benefiting from it…..

cough, Oceanic crew, cough

i kid, i kid

CD zergling and proud

I was just messing lol, but somewhat kind of serious, nobody ever gives your night crew props, like ever, not even people on your own servers. like they don’t exist when they clearly do exist. I enjoy good battles and i give props where due i believe, the most fun i had was with Shadowmoon players, they coordinate well, everytime i see them now i have to actually play better than i usually do instead of tanking damage and spamming grenades.

We do give credit to our oceanics. It’s pretty much acknowledged by everyone in our server that our Oceanics/Asians are the ones contributing the most to our victory. Generally, its them that take over the map while our non peak time players try to defend as much as we have since we usually are outnumbered then.

yeah, i know, people in CD generally appreciate the efforts of the whole CD WvW crew. i was actually referring to a trash-talking unappreciative commander….

err.. what’s the purpose of this thread again ? score update or what, because i saw the Tier 1 thread, and don’t see much forum war posts, except score updates for outsiders to see…

I believe we can talk about anything we want regarding the match/guild/server so long as it’s not hostile i believe, but many players usually post up scores, except for a certain obvious mag hater here whom i won’t name, but you know who you are

It makes me wonder what the oceanic night crews say about you guys.

LOL even numbers? you must be on drugs, anyone on at this time talking about even number is high. we have less then 30 atm, maybe 23ish. You guys are fielding out 60+players easy, Any CD who fails to acknowledge they had numbers at night is clearly overbiased with egos too high for this forum. I’m sorry to say that i’m just farming you for badges and lvls on my alt because i can’t take your night crew seriously, like cmon

And now the CD zerg is 60+ keep throwing out bigger numbers to explain why you’re losing. In that “proof” of zerg screenshot all I see is a well organized 20 man, note how all the tags are KH? Coincidence right? Also note the golem he has targeted, that’s me busting in their tower like the Kool-Aid man, “OH YEAH!”

what picture are you talking about? I mean i know you guys have server pride that’s fine, but to come online to forums and say you have even numbers at 4am, when many numerous CD players already admitted to having huge oceanic night crews. I have always thought my post to be just and accurate, if not please explain what was wrong and if I unintentionally insulted someone, i apologize. I was having numerous culling issues like the battle for SMC when all three servers rush for it last night at the battle of our garrison. It only happens when there’s a massive amount of players from all sides there. I’ve never had it happen to me in a BL before, even with zergs of 30v30. This was just insane. I’m not mad we lost garrison, i’m just a little upset when you guys are saying you had 20 players last night, are you kidding me?

CD fights extremely well during the daytime, i’m not trying to discredit them like other people from others servers (mag/EB). You guys fight extremely well and just like without your night time crew you couldn’t have won, it goes both ways, they couldn’t have won without you guys, i enjoy fighting against CD more than EB for whatever reason it is, especially against [naga] [rise].

I don’t remember seeing much KH players there, i mean maybe around 5 or so, but i mainly saw EsF. Of course culling was an issue, i was only seeing half the players most of the time, but my arrow carts would be popping dmg where people weren’t culling. Also our wall was having an animation bug too for some reason, they wall kept flickering on and off sometimes when nobody repaired it, but we did have randoms that repaired it sometimes or players that accidentally try to pick up loot/revive players repair. Also if you’re saying KH brought 20 people to our bl easy, well i was seeing about 20-25 EsF players, and some other smaller players. That’s already 40ish players not including other guilds that were there as well like a couple [LW] and many others.
