Guild Wars 2

Furiousbeard.7602:

There is only a 20k point difference to overcome. It’s still possible for SBI to win the week, unless EB decides to play spoiler and focus SBI while YB does the same. A true 2 v 1 would seal the deal most likely.

shrug It was actually 28k about 12 hrs ago. >_>

sofired.6071:

A lot of the dislikes OP describes are probably dependent on his profession andwhat he likes to do in WVW – the enemy doesnt have to play by his own self-imposed rules of engagement that suit him.

I can agree on the laughing thing especially after being steamrollered by some mega-zerg but thats just kitteny perhaps – I dont think honour comes into WVW much, its a simple kill/be killed/run away for most people.

I’ve seen the situation where unexplained laughing/emoting by someone in a megablob turns out to be because your small group had just run over the guy when he/she was roaming solo an hour or two ago. Repeatedly.

People remember stuff like that, y’know. =S Hell, for players with more noticeable Silver and Gold ranks and distinct outfits, you could be remembered by people you kitten off for days.

TBH, I think people stick to honourable play depending on their mood. Some days, I’ll ignore a duel…and some days, I’m way too much in a hurry to bother going out of my way, if they’re between my zerg and an important destination.

Oozo.7856:

And why shouldn’t I complain?

Do you realize how much better this game would be if people split up their queue zergs and had smaller scale fights spread out around the zone?

I think everyone realizes this…just…very few people will consistently try to implement it. And they can’t do it if the other server doesn’t reciprocate, coz it basically just devolves into blob farming instead. Nothing against blob farming…but, y’know. Apart from the bags, it’s not very enjoyable.

And the sad part is, the people that try to tend to get called out for doing it by their own server now and then. =S

Funnily, a server built on bandwagoning is likely to have more ESO guilds than the usual server, at that. But I seriously doubt it’ll be A LOT more than other servers. =S

Ah well, hope the guys on the beta enjoy it. =3

Eh, would have loved to have had a go at that. We cracked EBay’s Hills bunkering in two tries despite all the siege in it. But we can’t do anything about the map we’re not assigned to until the weekend ends, and the queues aren’t so crazy, unfortunately…=\

We were supposed to be in YBBL, but we ended up moving to EBayBL before the reset, as too many of our guilds wanted YBBL, and well, as per usual, the way the queues go tend to mean that the only map my guildies can get onto was the one we got for reset.

I dunno about anyone else from SBI, but the last few hours have gotten me the most bags per minute I’ve gotten from WvW in three weeks. CD, BP and DB were all never this farmable. =P

I just LOVE when the other side’s fairweathers actually come to pway. They so squishy!

nikkistar.1409:

Ok, I am going to straighten this out.

Agg is NOT on YB. Shonuff is trolling.

Sadness! ;-; And yeah, they’re still on SoS.

Went and whispered EP’s guild leader over there the moment that post was made and he told me they were literally running on EBG over there, at that time, haha.

Anyways, I’m heading off, so if EBay wants to have a go at Hills again coz you’re mad we papered that T3 Dawn’s Eyrie while you tunneled in on the little southern distraction…go ahead. =P

BAggression is on YB now, really?

OMG, this is gonna be fun!

Oh, and can EBay and YB come back to EBBL Bay? We actually finally managed to build siege to farm you with now. =( Fifth time’s the charm, right? =P

Happy you guys on EBayBL enjoyed. =3 Was sad my guild had to call it a night after two hours. We don’t pull good attendance on reset due to the one hour earlier start. =S Ah well…we had some fun fights though, hee.

Well, we used to have a Ranger on Tarnished Coast…but he didn’t transfer with us.

I know a couple guys alt Ranger…but no, pretty sure we had nobody on Rangers last night. We’re not a roaming guild, after all. We’re a zerg crew.

/shrug

Oh cripes. I’ve figured out who decided to conduct that bit of carelessness in the guild. The unfortunate fellow was on the hill with his uplevel ranger and had gone afk with the pet on Guard. >_< Gave him a hard talking to just now.

I guess somebody went up too close to the stands and tagged him during some of the rounds. Wouldn’t be surprised with all the AoE [BB] packs. =S I don’t usually stick around to watch GvGs much myself, so I can’t keep track of people who were there.

On behalf of RoT, I sincerely apologize for the interference. Please let me or Obby Shards know if you see any more of our guys doing anything like this, especially with obvious intent, in any GvGs. We have an immediate guild kick policy for any willful interference in GvG rounds.

Well, we used to have a Ranger on Tarnished Coast…but he didn’t transfer with us.

Thanks [TB] for the GvG tonight with the guys!

I find it kinda amusing that [Hero] spent the whole time they were camping you pointing out on our TS BP’s ability to keep their PPT so high with the same numbers Dragonbrand had. Or…well…“Dragonbags”, as they put it. =S

And they had to fight a zerg instead of a guild…

But eh…certainly not against any guild on SBI improving even more, really.

As always, goodfights RoT tonight in BPPL

You guys had so many people! But is was a lot of fun fighting you all. How many were you running last night? We had 16, I believe (plus 1-2 pugs reliably, and maybe 10 at most at any time.)

By the time that we started fighting you guys, we had 25 in the TS3 channel. Probably no less than 23 on the field during our fights. You guys have been giving us some hard fights during the weekend raids so we had to change up the way we fought. We appreciate the challenge and we expect nothing less the rest of the week.

Excellent, I look forward to fighting you guys some more. Hopefully we get some more guildies on tonight/tomorrow so we can run our full 20-24 raid comp. Having only 2 guards in a 16-man comp hurts so much against hammer train.

We should organize some even-number stuff sometime. GvG week 7?

We are running the standard comp for our raids so yeah I’d have to agree that at the state of the game, 2 guards in a 16 man affects the way the group fights lol

And yeah, I’ll add you ingame. I’m not even sure what week we’re in – I have lost track lol.

We are on Week 5. We meet y’all again in Week 7. =3 And lol, we also only had like 3 wars. =P We haven’t run this frontline lite in a long while, but we’re trying to practice and learn new things lately.

Boss even forced me to run a different build last night. Made me sad. ;-; Had to heal, heal, heal instead of my usual kill, kill, kill. =P

Best way to learn how to beat another class one on one is to play that class in sPvP and learn at least its basic and usual tricks. Know what they look like. Know how they move like. Know when they’re about to unload and when they’ve just gassed themselves.

Lets you dodge them better. Gets super tricky if you have to play on poor graphics or such though…harder to read people.

You gotta understand though…a lot of WvW players don’t really care about honour (myself included), so don’t expect an honourable fight most of the time. Also, avoid throwing yourself against Bronze or Silver people until you get more practice, as they tend to have those odd WvW skills and stacks and such that make it even harder.

But yeah, if you really want fair fights…there’s PvP for that.

Yeah…I’m really looking forward to that BP EU again on the weekdays. =3 They’ll be tougher to stop if DB breaks some of our WPs during SEA than they were during the CD fight last week, and I already had a bunch of close WP calls that week and a couple of T3 towers flipped behind my back.

Haven’t had that much fun during the EU in a helluva while.

Kovu.7560:

Alright, reset night is over.
Now Coverage Wars 2 can begin anew.
Perhaps we’ll briefly pass BP until Sat EU, assuming SBI doesn’t step on us -too- hard.

~ Kovu

Actually, I thought we were supposed to step on your extra stuff during EU so BP doesn’t take it on your weak zone and go past you…

Thanks WFD, VOX, MM, Crit, EA and the rest of the smaller guilds out there for a fun reset on SBIBL! =3

Hope to meet all y’all on the field again the rest of the week.

Course it is…only bored zergs even notice havocs so it’s rare. =P

Just ask the Rekz guys. We went around a circle with ’em in RQ last night, hee.

Not gonna lie….havoc chasing in a zerg can be fun, when there’s nothing else to do but door doors.

Props to the escapees, and too bad for those who get caught. =S

Anyways, wth, BP? You gave me hell in the Motherland and EBG holding all six of our waypoints for hours yesterday during the EU.

Now, I come home from work and we’re ticking 500+ _. What gives? =S

Jereme.1840:

Caroline.4987:

Wanted to thank BB for the GvG. The guild definitely needs to learn how to play against the swag style. =3 Guys never seen it before…

The Maguuma crews never wanted to GvG with us, so yeah. Could never get the practice.

LOL I’m pretty sure Ark asked. I don’t see anything Swag about RoT, unless Obby has miraculously started using some type of tactical approach. Rather than doing the same thing over and over every push.

I wish you would have came down a little further in the leagues. Would love to fight you guys to validate my point.

Was talking about the other guild. =( And I don’t think Ark asked. I wouldn’t know. I’m not part of the GvGs myself.

Plus I’m kinda burnt up today from running 7 hours tag during late SEA and all EU long. =P

Wanted to thank BB for the GvG. The guild definitely needs to learn how to play against the swag style. =3 Guys never seen it before…

Shout outs to Krew, BS and co, for making the EU hours interesting. =3 Shame I gotta work tomorrow though. =(

Made my fingers work typing all that stuff today though, haha.

We’ll see about the live stream. It depends on who’s online and ends up in the line up. A couple of our guys do stream…but dunno if they’ll be here. Also, depends on their connection, heh.

And eeh…yeah, sorry, CLAV. BP was out in good numbers last night, so we were all on our toes when you went out training. =S Hope you get more of your players trained up on that server though.

dabomb.4056:

OMG, [krew] and [Rot] stop bickering already and organize a GvG.

On hindsight, at least there’s no talk about coverage/blobbing/guild buying on this thread and not like the ones in Gold league. A fresh change change for once……..

[krew] doesn’t GvG, and they’ve already referred us to a BP guild that does. It’s scheduled for Wednesday.

Does [Rekz] do GvGs or too newly reorganized to them? [RoT]‘s probably interested in one with y’all next week, if we can’t find a Dragonbrand crew that does. We never got one with you on TC. ;-;

(Oh, and you haven’t fixed your sig yet, btw. =S)

RoT alone vs Krew alone

link as requested

We fought you guys half a dozen times and all you can come up with is a minute and half of video that is so low quality I can’t tell what guild you are fighting. That is impressive! I did get a good laugh listening to your driver though. He could use a Xanax…

Well…we DID try to get more videos of you and us. =( But they weren’t alone. There was always more people, whether ours or yours. >_<

This one wasn’t actually alone…It’s so short because we tried to cut out the BP guild (Lost, was it?) that came in on a flank that was too late and proceeding to get slaughtered because of that. =(

Yeah…you need sentries and you need preplaced siege, or you will get ramblitzed even by an outnumbered server with ease. But effective and active defenders who know their siege can slow down such a force all the time.

You also need field scouts, not just tower sentries. That blob shouldn’t be getting into your third and the first call out you get is “They’re on the door”. Unless it’s a 30 man thief and Mesmer crew.

Fraeg.9837:

Caroline.4987:

Yeah…do wish we could get more than one fight in without the blobs though.

Coz when WAR and Hop and VNG and all that jump on your tail…our commander comes over to respond. >_<

Guild Leader wants a GvG with you guys, btw, if you’re up for it? We prefer 15 v 15, but can maybe do 20s. (We’ve only done the latter like, once, though.)

BP’s GvG BB is looking for fights please contact: Martin Firestorm

weds and thurs night work best for us

Is there another person I can contact? I haven’t found him online yet, been checking throughout the day…=(

Ignore my silly guildmate above. I don’t blame BPs crews for blobbing up, personally. It’s the smart and easy way to play. And if you wanna PvF about not doing it, that’s none of my business either.

I keep telling the boss to just play around it…not like it’s hard to do…but he’s stubborn and likes to just dive in. I got him to do it once though, and was personally quite pleased with the results.

Evilzara.6378:

Shout out to blobs, I’m so glad we got 2 more weeks of you.

will remind you of this statement on Monday when you guys have your full force of 60-80 blob

Lol really? That would be a karma train. When else would you see us blobing so much unlike stormblob? Seriously sbi seem to be in denial that they blob so much.

When? Reset night on CDBL, of course.

The only time we ever got guild fights alone was forcing guilds out of position or catching them in transit and plunging deep into your third. Boss was rather annoyed we had to do that stuff and PPT it up just to fight a guild or two by ourselves…

I do understand a number of Silver guilds probably run a bit smaller than we do normally and have to group up, (we tend to go from 20-25, but we were fluctuating between14-19 that night, including scouts), but you guys were still bringing 3 or 4 guilds at us at a time, lol. All that does is pull our tag over whenever it’s close. =S

We came out of reset night thinking Crystal Desert actually gave us better guild fights than you guys. They only blobbed up when we were inside their Garrison, and we don’t blame them for that. We certainly hope to see Blobless Pass redeem itself the next few nights before the weekday grind sets in. =3

Yeah…do wish we could get more than one fight in without the blobs though.

Bhima.9518:

SBI will sleep through this but, my money is on Borlis Brawlers getting the most bags.

They might. They clearly love to blob up harder than Yak’s Bend does. =(

I wish we had our full blob busting crew on today. We’re running only 17 coz of the time change. ;-;

Oh, geez…I can’t believe I forgot. Thank you GLOB for doing the GvG with us last night! (Even though I couldn’t be there, heh. =P)

Sorry about the queues. We had been able to map hop freely from Mon to Wed…and suddenly, there was queues on Thursday. Wasn’t expecting that. _

And yeah, we do try to run clear of servermates when we are guild running (not because we hate them or anything, but we just set aside that time of day to run alone as a group and practice. =3) But there’s always the few that will follow. We don’t wanna be rude and tell them to shoo though, since we are the new transfers here.

Personally, it’s not about beating FA, more as getting good fights from them. I wanna meet them as a guild group when they’re not holed up in their towers from repeatedly getting roflstomped by the TC megablob in the dying days of Tier 2. =( Never much fun.

Ricky.4706:

the roleplay solution – burn the corpses – unable to res – all armor would be destroyed need repair after. ( you risked a slick move and took a heavy loss for a fail )

The third person shooter – non roleplay – quake / fps solution – a dead player should have the same inactivity time out / kicked out of wvw for doing nothing like a living player.

They DO have the timer. The exploit is swapping your gear, which resets that timer.

The fix should be to keep dead bodies in combat, but able to waypoint.

WamSolf.5021:

Good duels with the two IoJ [KoR] thieves and the Yak’s guys I ran into today, I was the [RISE] trap ranger.

GL to Both IoJ and Yaks in future matchups. I had fun despite the imbalance and the fact that I only got to kill the Buns once this week =(

Sorry about repeatedly running over the duel site, btw! ;-; Was kinda in a rush here and there. =(

My zerg isn’t on voice comms, so I can’t tell them not to kill all y’all. ;-;

What about Camp Defense? =(

I’m pretty excited for the FA matchup. I always hated repeatedly fighting them on a server that had them horribly outnumbered. And then we’d abuse them and mock them on our voice comms and map chat as if we were doing anything really difficult. =(

Difficult for heavies? Warriors are the fastest long distance class in the game, and guards can do a roaming set up and go fairly fast too.

I think the issue is that you’re not really supposed to finished those objectives if you’re only always sticking to the tag. I had to try and roam a bit for a few of those yaks, and I’m not a very good one (read: terrible), but eh…four or five yaks before I got ganked was always a good deal.

Merc camps is tricky. The easiest way for me to get enough was to tag up and lead a zerg into them every now and then, heh.

Demo expert is tough for non-wvw regulars unless they intentionally move to hurt their server, or their server makes way for their nontraited ramming. =S Of course, you could always try playing the week you are red and just repeatedly trebbing SMC from Overlook.

Or inversely, trebbing Overlook and a bunch of other places from SMC.

Asami.3572:

Caroline.4987:

Hmm…oh, so your guys weren’t the ones with the “Please SBI Stop Running [CMON]” guild tag? Coz I finally saw that and decided to stop. =(

Hm, nope. Unless they made it as they were running after the 2 of you. As far as I know, we were only running the ODG and “Just Wanna Play Hockey With Ur [Body]” tags tonight.

Yeah, it was that third guy, the Squire, who had it. =P

I don’t honestly roam, and don’t know how to (wouldn’t know a roamer build if it hit me in the face) though, so I usually just give myself up in those instances, really.

And sweet…finally found one. Boss will be happy, I think.

Sagabatou.1076:

So is SBI having the time of their lives in this match up or getting bored?

Uh…well, we had quite a giggle when we horribly screwed up a portal bomb on you guys at your spawn rock in IoJBL. =S

BTW, do you guys GvG, [GLOB]? Boss is looking for some, if anybody’s interested in those…

Hmm…oh, so your guys weren’t the ones with the “Please SBI Stop Running [CMON]” guild tag? Coz I finally saw that and decided to stop. =(

To the Yak’s Bend trio (or was it a foursome) that wanted me and my ele buddy in our hapless zerg builds to stop running because it’s so fun to pick on two players out alone like that and proclaim your pro roamerness…

Nice guild tag! Hope you enjoyed the door dance, heh. =P

We swear we didn’t call the zerg though…they just happened to head that way. =(

Guess you don’t know how to distinguish between a player and a ranger pet yet. Good effort though The 2 that chased you were a ranger and thief.

I guess you were ignoring that third guy. Or maybe he was just riding your tail. I know there was a Bronze something, a Legend ranger…and a Squire that tried to run when he saw the zerg…=(

Something kept flashing in and out, must be the thief. It’s hard for me to tell anything, since I play on Lowest. Everything’s a generic random blob!

Took IoJ’s approach to sieging up a keep.

Bust down these gates and…

BOOM 98 ballistas to the face SON.

So IoJ, Am I doing this right??

na… you just need 3.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If5sLsgTcyU

Everyone should love ballistas!

Well, except those 6 Yak’s Bend Omega Golem drivers at Overlook who let me build one in their face and wreck 4 before one of them finally decided to fire rockets at me. =S

Good thing those beasts are so cheap now!

Jaxs.5830:

Atrophied.8725:

Bye, TC. ILU still, but heading for pastures with shorter queues and smaller blobs. <3

You could have helped make T3 more balanced by moving to YB or BP. You could have had far more fights and target rich environments on the other servers. But you select the SBI bandwagon… good to be carried I guess.

We asked for YB or BP to talk to us. SBI did. shrug

Anyways, bye TC, and good luck with the rest of the Gold matches!

Thanks for the interest from SoS, but we basically got at least three critical core players from our guild members saying “Get us out of T1 lag. Now. We wanna be able to use our skills.” that wouldn’t have gone with us had we gone Gold League to Gold League and not improved our actual situation playwise.

So yes, we’ve gone to SBI now, on a much, much faster timeframe than we figured…

Yep, and they still remember those arrow carts. They must have left quite an impression!

Wow, Maguuma wasn’t lying about those intense siege arrays Yak’s Bend is infamous for. Think I’m gonna love learning to work those over.

Guild just transferred down here tonight, so…pretty excited to see what Silver League’s about!

Huh? Oh, as far as I know, Mag’s EU can put together a train as big as IRON would be, whenever they feel like getting an offensive going. Maybe things have changed (I’ve noticed IRON’s also run a bit smaller lately), but yeah, back in July and August…could NOT tell the difference between the two, apart from guild tag.

I got tons of respect for how dangerous that group behind the NOVA spearhead can be. I miss those summer days brawling with them on our BL all day.

But it’s a very offensive focused group , and will not really organize to play defense unless Mag can get some upgraded stuff still up past the SEA Prime. And it’s not that they’re bad at it either, since they obviously did some solid work during the EU hours of week one. =3

Which, thanks to JQ, they probably never do.

electriette.8952:

For the TC fans: TC has actually done pretty well for being paired with the two best servers, that being said they are not nearly as good as JQ is. Now I say this not because it shows, but because it is obvious that whoever is leading you, puts you in positions that are not winnable. If you guys stop wearing paper armor, you could possibly have a chance being in Tier 1. Maybe.

Super late but did you just say TC can’t be in T1 because we wear zerk armour?

…
I…

No…it’s because all our players disappear every time there’s a PvE update for Living Story, haha.

Yeah…but that schedule means JQ barely fights SoR or BG for a while. =S
