[Ark] Maguuma
lol so nobody was ready to pay for your transfers, and you came on forums to save face? People can differentiate between in-game skill and forum skill, you know. lol!
We’re really bad. Awful, really. Pls teach us 2 b lyke u, Calvin. Pls, 4 da ppl.
This maybe true, but your attitude towards opponent’s stinks. The lack of respect and class is what other servers dislike about you gummies. Its a constant mud flinging, chest pounding drama filled punch in the nose. Where I come from, the way you win represents the kind of person you are. The way I see it, right now is that you guys can’t handle winning gracefully, I would sure hate to see how you guys handle losing. All in all its been a tough fight, and you guys have bested us the last couple weeks but we will keep going and fighting on the battlefield where the war is supposed to be fought, and hopefully at the end we can get up, dust off shake hands and proceed to the next week.
Should we be respectful? The past matchup threads have been filled with moaning and completely and utterly unfounded hacking accusations. Apparently, when you began losing, it was more logical to accuse Maguuma of hacking, as opposed to improving your server’s playing. The sooner that KN realizes that it isn’t a T2 server any longer, the better they’ll be for it.
If we want to talk hacking, a player from an unnamed guild on an unnamed server managed to attack our zerg with an AC while we were in the Lord’s Room of an unnamed garrison. We had just broken through inner watergate and were clearing out the circle. The AC in question was placed on the easternmost ledge outside of the watergate. There was no way that the player manning the AC could have angled his camera to view through the downed gate. Then, a ranger in a specific guild on an unnamed server somehow manages to teleport around inside our keeps and attack siege. This is not a case of failing to sweep, as we had held these keeps for hours and hours previous to the mysterious siege deaths.
THOSE are true cases of hacking, and not an L2P siege placement issue that sparked the entire “Maguuma = Hackzuuma” debacle.
Then, we’ve had two different players, one a commander in one of our WvW guilds and the other a close friend of mine, who have gotten mass reported and banned for botting. Except neither of them bot and were auto-banned due to the volume of reports. This, too, came from a Kaineng guild.
Then, pile on top of all of this Sol’s incessant whining and you have our matchup threads in a nutshell. I personally think that Maguuma has been given ample reason to be unkind.
I think I’ll post my time on kaineng, I transferred maybe a month ago to the server to play more Spvp with some friends and because their guild ran zerg buster, kaineng dropped into mag’s tier the next week. I expected to be called a spy, once or twice, people to be hesitant and I play EU time, which is a pretty weak spot in most server’s timezones, maybe I’d have been a godsend, a disgusting godsend maybe but a godsend none the less.
My first day on in this tier went okay, I started off roaming in EB, and then some people started to follow me shrug So I pop my tag on and start leading an attack, great! Actually being able to do stuff on one of the first days I joined the server! 5 minutes later some great person spams, iirc the following in chat ‘’COLHEARTH IS MAG SPY DON’T FOLLOW OR U DIE’’ Okay…I was kind of expecting something similiar to happen so I tried to explain that I’m not a spy and if I wanted to spy why would I wear my darp tag with my icon on, at which point I was told I was a terrible spy….Thanks. At any rate map chat became a roar of ‘’Dat colherth is an spy’’ So I lost anyone following me and turned my tag off…How open of kaineng to accept transfers, transfers who hadn’t moved server since bwe1 and had purely played wvw for over a thousand hours, man.
Rinse and repeat, I joined this server to help out, I couldn’t care less about the score and all I wanted were some good fights against some buds, I managed to get one or two fights before being ousted as the worst spy in the history of forever. The same happened my whole time on kaineng, I decided it was time to transfer home when I got mass reported by XF for being a spy and using up supply and buying upgrades we didn’t need….while dancing, while they were near and insulted me for dancing….
Even though I was already here, I would have stayed if I’d enjoyed it more than mag, I get ousted, someone with more experience than most of your pugs. Even though I was a turn coat my guild funded my return, thanks <3PS kaineng, you have the worst intercommunication I’ve ever seen. You need to work on that…Seriously.
So, KN is a cesspool of bile and hatred and the sooner they fall to T4 the better. Got it. Yet Maguuma is always poked at for having a “malicious” community. Tbh, Mag has one of the best, if not THE best, WvW communities of any server. All the guilds know each other, are friendly with each other, and work together. It’s part of the reason why we’re one of the more stable servers in the game.
Maguuma should go to T2 nao and roleplay with Tarnished Coast, in game and in forums.
Tbh we erp already. Mag #1 RP Server NA.
This match is sooooo boring.
Tru say.
This thread is soooooo boring.
The jumping puzzle is, and should remain, a PvP zone. 500 badges takes absolutely no time to acquire if you WvW. I’m so sorry that you can’t take the easy way out to get your legendary. Pity, really.
Might be easy for you, but I ain’t no pvper, never was and never will, so I just hang ‘round commanders and follow the lead. I am an engineer with non glass cannon build and I like healing, meaning my badges do not come easily neither quickly. Running small groups, running zergs, I can get about 10 a day. If I am lucky.
And no, I ain’t got several hours a day to run WvW. I’ve got a family to tend to and I’ve been working on my legendary for months.
Even if I did only the jumping puzzle every day (which I don’t), it’d take me around 40-50 full days to get them badges.
People weren’t even complaining about that. They were, including me, complaining about enemy mesmers pulling us down the spawn spot often before you even load the screen, which ain’t by no mind fair.
No, I think it’s fair. It comes along with the PvP aspect of the JP. Also, it’s easy to get badges as an engineer. Equip a grenade kit and tag things.
Thanks to all the loot bags in EBJP that then turned into loot bags at our keep in eternal. I got around 300 kills in 30 minutes.
So that’s what the 6 golems and 40-50 people was for. I was wondering why they wanted our keep so bad.

It appears mag is trying to artificially boost Kain to rank 2 past Yaks. I say this because Mag has been attacking only Yak territory while ignoring Kain territory. So much so that Kain is pushing into Mag territory with zero resistance.
On Kain BL mag has skipped their own greenlake tower and went straight to take redbriar from Yaks. A little while later Mag is sitting on all Yaks territory in EB while ignoring Kain’s side of EB completely.Yaks and Kain were tied this morning with 270 pts each tick and as of now Kain is at 230pts (Mag has to have SM) and Yaks is as low as 125 pts. Our populations are of comparable size but Mag is chewing up Yaks while propping up Kain.
We focus YB 100% of the time, obvs.
That screenshot is old, 3-4 days old. Just look at the points, this screenshot was taken when Mag had just gotten far ahead of the other two worlds, at the time when the southsun event started. So it’s no surprise that the points aren’t balanced when everyone is crab grabbing.
I’m talking about today, the last day before reset. Mag slammed Yaks this morning and virtually ignored Kain. There’s a 2500pt window now between Kain and Yaks and they almost caught up but their population is hitting its deadzone so there’s little chance they’ll be able to pass Yaks now.
No, that was early yesterday morning/late wednesday night. I’d stop looking to blame Maguuma for your server’s problems and figure out the real reason why your server is struggling. Hint: the weekend warriors are part of your problem. Figure out how to get them to play during the week, and you’ll do much better.

man you guys are so obsessed arent you… sometimes it makes me laugh, sorry paralda i didnt retrait to fight you, i used WvW build, im sure you spent 30 minutes and 20g just to have the right gear for PvP, congrats to you the TRY HARD guild you lead and all your TRY HARD allies, Im sure that tomorrow you wont be singing the same tunes
The booty ailment in this one is strong.
Edit: They don’t like the actual form of booty ailment
To the creative DERPs that made Buttwater Vanguard:
I like your style. lol You guys are awesome. (No sarcasm intended, I like the troll)
Omfg, your comment is beautiful. Ty for making me e-famous bbz.
It wasn’t just that one garrison though. It was all 4 maps. We had +0 points. That means Maguuma must have vastly outnumbered and out-coveraged Kaineng.
The commander that runs our karma trains decided to do a train late last night (they’re usually run during the daytime, at the end of SEA primetime and the beginning of EU), so they held all of KN BL. No, it wasn’t a full queue zerg. Probably 30 people. PYRO and ME held EB with another 30 or so, and kitten held our own borderlands with idk how many. Probably 10-15. That was the extent of our coverage last night.
Edit: Before you say it, a couple of ACs at the keeps and we wouldn’t have been able to flip them. Considering you need 3-5 people on keep defense to be successful, so it wasn’t a numbers game.
I don’t really understand the question.
This is not the Maguuma I remember back in Oct/Nov last year and even through Jan. Back when Maguuma had monthly Boot Camps and a friendly team work oriented communit, just seems different now.
Yeah, I’m gonna go with the “nothing has changed” tact here, too. The same guilds that have been WvWing since Jan are still WvWing, albeit with different numbers and new faces in some places. I don’t think it can be stated enough that Mag’s WvW pop is 100% consistent throughout the week. We have the same guilds and the same people playing during reset as we do on Wednesday night.
We’re still a very, very friendly server. We just like to kittenol on the forums. You can’t exactly take our T1 Forum Warrior pop and extrapolate it to represent the server as a whole. If that was the case, your entire server would be represented by Chips and Sol. I don’t think anyone wants that.
Know what the best part about bandwagons is? They collapse spectacularly.
KN, pls don’t take our Garrison. Bad things happen.
Edit: PS I twerked for you at KN spawn on EB. I hope you appreciate it <3

Forsrs. Pls, Invalid, pls.
Once again, KN is a T8 server with a single T3+ quality guild.
Aww Boonprot, you’re too kind to me <3
Any time, bbz.
I’m glad RE is bringing tier 2 tactics to our humble, family oriented server. Hopefully Mag can learn to appreciate the 50 man zerg busting tactics required to succeed in the harsh land of Tyria. God Bless.
I feel sorry that 9 months into the game Mag still have to learn from an undermanned tier 3 server.
That post was dripping with sarcasm. Once again, KN is a T8 server with a single T3+ quality guild. Let’s not pretend you’re anything special.
Edit: Well, maybe two T3+ guilds. I quite like CNB.
I frequently see people boasting about wiping Maguuma in Eternal, which is fine, because nobody really goes into eternal for organized guild raids. Most of the people in eternal are goofing around or karma training (at least on mag.)
But IF you want to anger Maguuma/ actually boast about wiping Maguuma, you’ll have to do it in a borderland. Otherwise it’s easy for us to shrug off the fact that you were in EB, where we have very little coordination.
We have little to no coordination in EB because your guild (and many others) run from it as if it was the plague. Who do you think is going to pick up the slack in EB now that Zero is gone?
My guess is no one.
That is a problem the whole server needs to work towards fixing.
See, the problem with EB is that the kids whinge and moan when commanders don’t karma train and constantly berate them because they’re not “enough like Zero.” Zero, for 5 nights in a row, would sacrifice a fully defended, mostly upgraded Stonemist to save a couple of paper towers. Other times, he would port into a borderland, drain a fully upgraded keep with full supply to 100-300, build golems, and fail to take anything. Not to mention the apparent inability to instill any knowledge of tactics or discipline in the pubbies he commanded. Why you would want to command like Main EB Commander is beyond me.
We’ll get competent commanders in EB teaching everyone proper siege placement, tactics, and discipline, and EB will actually become a map that the main WvW guilds are interested in defending.
tl;dr: People avoid EB like the plague because it was usually filled with belligerent ignorance. More could be done by holding keeps in enemy BLs, so we went there.
You guys have such a clean and sporting matchup thread. It makes me jealous ;(
It’s only because the “cleaning crew” has been sweeping furiously through this thread, if you catch my drift.
Our teammate moa’d a rabbit last night- that actually works. And I only died due to fall damage like one time. Memorable night!
I think my next goal is to buy a second tag and put it on my Necro. Then, I’ll lead lemmings off of cliffs and survive by using my Death Shroud.
Oh my sweet baby jesus. Lord Commander of EB Zero Xcel, aka Bro Story Bro, has transferred to KN and joined RE?
I’m not even sure we have 4 guild groups that are 40 strong o_o
pyro, mad, war, de/rp are some of the big ones. There are other smaller ones that are mixed in as well. On YBBL de/rp’s presence alone is as large as the 4 yaks guilds working together on that map.
I think you’re mis-estimating that, because I’m on YB atm (albeit working). And we tend to only run in that size on weekends. I would be surprised if PYRO and WaR reached 40 consistently, no idea about MAD.
I think PYRO hit 50 people a couple reset nights ago, but we run with 3 MAYBE 4 full groups when we do WvW. That’s why, on reset, we had a hard time competing with the full queue RE zerg on Mag BL. ME, WaR, PYRO, and DFND were all on the BL, but we each only pull 20 people. That would also be why we didn’t push your trebs during your arrowcart and treb creep on WK. You could afford to leave 20 people guarding the trebs while the remaining 60 go to flip camps, when we only had 17 or so PYRO guarding inner. Exceedingly difficult to defend two paper keeps against a full queue zerg of RE and a full queue zerg of YB (I think it was CL/RAM at reset?).
Oooh Ooh are we on to saying Maguuma is the zerg server? I love this part.
If we’re only talking about eternal, that wouldn’t be entirely misleading.
That place has a queue all weekend.
Let’s be honest. Eternal has had a queue every night since January. Even when we were getting wrecked by DB. Don’t think I’d call us a zerg server for that alone.
Full queue zerg at Mag WK vs our 15, and you Superior Arrow Cart creep. I am disappoint. Not to mention the 6 trebs spent trying to down siege.
We’re so popular tonight. Two full queue zergs on Mag BL against our 3-4 20-man zergs. ALAMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Speaking of irrelevancy were you not playing the role of mr.fashionista earlier in the wvw forums?
No, I brought up you crying to not only me, but my whole guild, and then you made a comment about Kyra’s armor colour which I corrected.
This conversation is like talking to Calvin.
Oh yes, you win sir, my guild and I are so embarrassed by these screenshots, excuse me while i go QQ and slit my wrist in the corner. loljk idc
There’s even proof of you and your guildies getting rocked now. I don’t get it.
If you didn’t care, you’d stop responding and fade back into irrelevancy.
Wait!?! you mean to tell me you found another mesmer in white t3 armor? oh dear lord. :P
and yes, I did make it harder to get myself ganked lol
White? No, Kyra isn’t that tacky. It’s a few different shades of purple, meant to match his arsenal of Mists weapons.
Ummm, 2 people, stealthed, ganking 1 person that is focused on the fight in front of him for an hour and failing at that spike more than 60% of the time…
and whenever i got the chance to try and 1v1 kyra, 5 mag would show up when he was either downed or at 1%…. way to constantly hide behind a zerg? GG guys
No it was definitely 12 times. I actually tallied them on a post-it because it was that funny. You tried to hide it by spamming return to the waypoint, but we always saw you running back from the spawn. We noticed by the end that your guildies started consciously protecting you and targeting us two. It was pretty funny, actually.
Pretty sure Kyra has won the fair 1v1s against you. The two that I saw he won. After that, you roamed with your guildies for a bit. That was when you rolled over the fight club.
No, Kyra was down at both fair-ish 1v1s, like I said, you guys were trying to single me out purposely while I was preoccupied — it does not take any skill to do that. Backstab + shatter which i was able to get away from most of the time. I dont think I died 12 times, but if i did, it was out of 35 attempts to get me.
I am glad you cared enough to keep a tab though…
k, whatever you say. Also, I don’t think I was running backstab at the time. S/D + SB venomshare, iirc. It was far less than 35. We had at the worst a 50% chance of downing you. Usually depended on if you could blink back into your zerg to hide or not. As the fights went on, you sat in the middle of your guild and it made it harder.
As to the last part, we turn it into a game. Recently, we discovered that there is a mesmer in the guild [Bark] who looks like a cheap version of Kyra. Now, we single her out every time she pops up and make sure she dies. It’s fun and a nice distraction from protecting supply camps and yaks when the CL or KN zerg isn’t running headlong into our garrison farms.
Golems just want to have fun!
That XF, how rude.
Know what the single most powerful trend in GW2 is? That bandwagon servers always collapse. HoD, SoS, Eredon, IoJ, SBI, Kaineng. All have experienced population surges as they push up the ranks, followed by mass transfers and ranking collapse as the WvW guilds transfer to a new server. The current bandwagon is Blackgate. Soon, Blackgate will collapse and we’ll begin the cycle anew.
Why on earth would you want to continue the cycle and promote server badwagoning. It’s absurd.

So much e-thuggery. This coming from the person who cried to me about a member from a past guild of mine calling his e-girlfriend tacky. Then, when I said I couldn’t do anything about it, blocked me and PMed PYRO crying even harder. We need an Issues Officer or Conflict Officer here.
E-girlfriend? Really? Seriously, did you just use that line? Please, tell me you didn’t. I mean, seriously?
Even Kyrwhateverhisnameis, was more original with his fashionista statement of “your gear is tacky” comment. Of course that came after the wall of text he sent me, after I responded to the “Get a life” routine, with my very very mature statement of, “Mad bro?” and my further eloquent statement of “Thanks for caring about my life so much, and taking the game to serious. Have a good day”. I didn’t realize trolling a person, would equate to the “Great Wall of Text” that ensued after which, from said troll guesting on YB.
I blew it off, but as my guild leader, he cared. He actually gave props to PYRO for trolling him so hard, and laughed about the potatoes. The hilarity that ensued, and the laughs we (and I am sure PYRO) received after were well worth it. He knew he was getting trolled, and hard, but his curiosity (Which kills cats, might I add) made him continue to see where it ended. I am sure, at some point, he facepalmed, but you have to have absolutely zero humor, if you couldn’t laugh at it. Well played PYRO, well played.
If this was your attempt at trying to make Albo look bad, BoonProt, it failed. It is only a game after all, no need to be so mad. Scale of 1 to mad, how mad are you?
Have a good day, sir. /salute
Albo, we downed you 12 times from within your zerg to my single death. I counted Also, I’m probably a Lanceloot on that scale.
(edited by Boonprot.6274)
My Necro and Thief. I have a bit of an obsession with green dye lately:
Know what’s important to do? Mesmer sweep your keeps.
Man, fighting PYRO feels like a 70 hr workweek. I’m the suicidal eng who been flitting around KN BL a good bit of the day and seems every time I turn around, there goes another one. LOL I was at garrison water gate a bit ago and had a PYRO sylvari run past me. They’re everywhere, I tell ya… :P
We tend to go wherever we’re needed. In this case, it’s KN and occasionally Mag BL. Gotta say, however, that Garrison in KN is a ton of fun right now.
Just got stomped out of all our keeps in Kaineng Borderlands after spending the whole night retaking it and then spending gold on upgrades. Maguuma zerg was at least 30 strong and went through the reinforced gates like hot knife through butter. And since all of the keeps were being upgraded, there were little to no sieges left. That and being outmanned meant that we could do little to stop the tsunami of blue. My party of 4 and a handful of other players died fighting.
Sucks to be outmanned.
Omfg did you flip EK back? I’ll cry if you did. We’ve held EK on your BL for well over 24h. It was fully upgraded and everything
I’m OK with Mag moving up or down because the blue spawn in EB is awful, ugh. Though supposedly they do want to randomize colors in the future.
Also Bronze Invader in that SS, such a sexy title. Is that Ho?
Probably. I think he’s the only one above rank 150 on Mag.
It was, he was sitting on an AC.
Edit: Also passed KN now. #magswag
SCORE UPDATE TIME
Kaineng 120,680 | +135

I think the Mag zerg in our BL is going to find some resistance, outmanned and not as organized as we are. We aim to please.
idk, you sure about that?
cant speak for KN BL, maps are assigned.
Don’t you guys find that rather limiting?
This, I’d get bored as hell if that was the case.
I think the Mag zerg in our BL is going to find some resistance, outmanned and not as organized as we are. We aim to please.
idk, you sure about that?
That’s cause KN has a higher number of ppl with jobs, school, etc. A lot of us have RL stuff through the week. Though, I do know we have some putting in a lot of WvW time just to keep green in our BL or EB.
Every time someone posts this argument it blows my mind at how stupid it is. What horrid logic.
KN and YB lose after the weekend because their weekend warriors go back to PvE. Plain and simple. Mag’s WvW population stays the same throughout the week. ME, D|ERP, WaR, DFND, PYRO, NOVA, etc… all field similar numbers each and every day of the week. We don’t have an inflated weekend presence, and we don’t really have that many fairweathers. That’s why we always lose on the weekends and pull ahead during the week.
But you gotta take chances, make mistakes, and get messy if you want loot bags!
Deany, you’re my new favourite Maguuman. Badges video and Magic School Bus references? So full of win.
Its best to move the conversation on soup.
D and P seem to take wvw seriously, they hop maps to take a quick keep and get that PPT. At least as far as I can tell. They were a big reason maguuma was getting a lot of points Monday-Thursday.
Its best to get some scouts on your BL and get a response force ready when “D|ER”-P/PYRO are out. You stop them at the first keep and they might seek a softer target.
If the alternative is to slam your face against a keep with 15+ ACs guarding every gate, why wouldn’t you move on?
Commanders can drop far more than 1-2 flame rams every 30 minutes. Not quite understanding the purpose of this suggestion.
I wonder what happened to Mag. Reset for the past few months usually was our strongest time, now its our worst?
That’s not been true for months. The people we have on reset are the same people we have every weekday, which is why we gain during the week. We had outmanned on 3 borderlands just 4 hours after reset, and had to basically give up 1 borderland pretty soon after reset.
We’ve lost reset/weekend for the last… 6-8 resets? It’s not that big of a deal. WvW is a measure of how many people are online for your server.
QFT
You see the same names in WvW all week long on Mag. We don’t have a super inflated weekend/reset crew, although sometimes I wish we did. Would make things easier tbh.
Just wait until Monday when most of KN has decided to stop playing and Mag takes the lead again. No more chest-thumping then
Also, ACs are redonk. Apparently the key to playing WvW right now is to take a keep early, put 2 ACs on each gate, and sit on it alllllllllll night long. So much fun it hurts.
Hey Mag how was that view from your spawn in YBBL for the last 2 hours?
You wanna talk about spawn camping?
