Guild Wars 2

Horopuh mate you obviously have no idea what i am talking about.
I said that FoW and vabbi dont have their players (or population) in bunker specc (the hard to kill Soldier gear and traits) they have a higher percentage focused in damage which as i said is a good change when fighting / roaming.
Where did you read about me talking numbers in WvW is besides me

I also will try to find more solo/small team fights this week. I have been at FoW border every time i am in WvW running around the north side of the map looking for people.

Haven’t tried commanding once because i thought “hey if we got no coordination maybe FoW will tag some keeps!” (worked yesterday at least).

So if you see a legendary thief trying random speccs up there that will be me!
Also i was happily surprised FoW and Vabbi don’t have the usual 50% of their population bunker specc i see in higher tiers Makes for a good change in tactics!

All i got to say is thanks for the GREAT fights in FoW borderland earlier today. Getting double teamed by vabbi and FoW was just exactly what i want to see going on this whole week
Your teaming up made the numbers in that border as even as they can ever be and FoW ended up getting back their keep!!
Although we could push you out most of our team decided to try to auto-attack the walls at the bottom tower Vabbi had bunkered down so we got left with 7-8 defenders for the 30-40 FoW players (enough to pop orange swords easily)
Long story short: even though you cant beat us across all maps coordinate between yourselves a bit and double team us in any map you choose and lets have some more great fights

I also agree to have a night (or even better a day) for Vabbi and FoW to take their keeps in EB for a few hours. You will get your JP and we will have 1 more fight in EB

I have to also say that I really don’t want to face you guys ;( But oh well what can we do we didn’t make this matchup! So hang in there tight and enjoy your free rating points gain! (There is no way in hell we can win so hard to keep our rating)

I am here to confirm the rumors that if you even post a hint of someone hacking on the forums you get infracted (happened to me already) in order to not give a reason to degrade this forums into accusing each other. Also got infracted for talking about a moderator removing my previous post.
So it seems just post safe from now on.
Really don’t infract this post too i haven’t said anything promoting bad forum behaviour while i just inform the rest of the people what can get you infracted so they can avoid it

Yep Necromancers contesting keeps is so extremely easy. Go on a random wall – auto attack once – contested. And everyone keeps crying for thieves.
This is seriously another “Omg please nerf thieves” thread.

You all forget that the best class to contest keeps is a necromancer.
After a patch a while back they can use a trait and actually lifesteal of walls = contested waypoint (and dont tell me you can defend ALL your walls from all possible sides)

Steel Chest has an exotic item. Not Silver chest there aren’t any silver ones.

Woah Zeal you talk about RoF taking stuff while you are outmanned while you took ALL of EB (exept 1 keep) and 2 and a half border with a 30-man team golem rushing when the other servers had together 10 people defending across all maps.
So much QQ Zeal so much QQ

From where they were positioned nope i am almost certain it was a zoomhack. Firstly the center of the cart aoe circle was right on top of our carts (which were as far back as possible) secondly before making this post i went to where the arrow cart was after we jumped out to suicide kill it and tried all ways to try to see on top of the wall at hills.
Use max distance – put the game in windowed mode in widescreen – was still impossible

I have to congratulate the Arborstone guild [dova] for using zoomhacks with its arrow carts to clear all of our siege defense on outer hills. It wasn’t enough you outnumbered us 4 to 1 you had to exploit to get that keep. Just congratulations.

To be honest ICON merged with TaG while i went to PI so don’t worry and look for the legendary thief commander of PI and come and get me!

Quote from OP: Yet the only class that really seems to get nerfed is the mesmer.
Yea stopped reading there has noone told him about elementalist – thief nerfs? noone?
Just another QQ thread nothing to see here move along

Maladon.5760:

The stealth nerf did nothing of any consequence, the culling fix was beside the point and in no way related to 1v1 or even small scale fights so the impact on thieves was minimal. I think the reason you see fewer thieves is because they’re either buried in the zerg or they rerolled because there is less opportunity to get the small fights/1v1s now that everyone is surfing the zergs for wxp.

Exactly this. I still main my thief with dagger/pistol (have almost always been on that suprisingly better in survival with almost same damage as d/d noob specc everyone was running)

The only difference is after the WvW ranks everyone joined the huge kitten zergs to get as much XP as possible so you don’t even notice thieves in all of that especially since they were never a good zerg class.

Yea i don’t see any reason in using the forums this week guys. There isn’t a single german on the english forums anyways. We are simply talking to ourselves.

Haha guess who was the thief scout that saw you skwas. And yes you are right we had a lot of PvE players joining in WvW while many of our PvPers are taking a break all together (and i am like why on the same time guys?) So we are a bit easier to kill, it’s true, but I am happy we are getting new players in WvW as the hardcore ones will come back eventually
And seriously Ventus, when i am leading a 10-20 man team of our experienced guildies we were smashing you in most fights but you didn’t see anyone coming on forums and saying “Omg lolol TEO is a moving bag farm”
That just doesn’t promote good playing.

And to prove my point about night teams.
Right now at 9:24 GMT the scores are:
RoF: +205
Whiteside: +145
Blacktide: +345
Blacktide has all of EB exept RoF keep and 2 towers

Yea ICON has had a few new PvErs joining the guild and at some times i am just facepalming myself saying WHY DID YOU GO THERE??? (and got pwned by 5-10 people waiting for you) stay with your commander!!!
But it all works out as we took the time to make an event showing WvW aspects of the game to totally new players and it helped bringing a biiiiiit more in WvW. So it all will work out eventually

Blude you aren’t even close. He is talking about the new WAYPOINTS that got added with the last patch not about a point of interest he hasn’t found.

Same thing with Blacktide. Earlier tonight they had all of their border + south towers at Whiteside border + 2/3rds of EB (everything exept green part of the map + SM) and we could barely stop them from running and destroying our upgraded towers (wildcreek and klovan)
While RoF is strong during peak time those night teams the other 2 servers have are keeping the score from inflating.

Main thing is that during prime time and right after that yes RoF has an obvious advantage in numbers and we push it to get some points. But for at least half the day (2:00 GMT to about 14:00 GMT) the fights are at best even, at worst whiteside has the number advantage.
For example i was stuck defending RoF Bay (today at 3:30 GMT) with a total of 5 people vs 15-17 of whiteside invaders in our borderland. It took us 2 hours of defending like crazy before those Whiteside mates decided to go on another map to try their luck there.
I am just happy you don’t seem to have not even 1 adequate commander during those hours so we can actually keep the top north part of our borderland.

And Ventus trust me i am the one commanding the nights this week. Whiteside honest to god auto-attacked their way inside inner lowlands keep and me + 3 guildies (OUR FULL TEAM GOD!!!!) just fought you for HOURS trying to stop you while you were catapulting Stonemist. Just as we cleared you (or you run to hit SM) you were at inner Stonemist already
It took some reinforcements (5-7 more people) to keep you in SM for another half an hour before eventually killing your catapults repairing outer wall and pushing you out.
Afterwards your server defended Anzalias which had its walls down for at least another 30 minutes. That fight was enjoyable it was 10 RoF vs 13 Whiteside (yes i counted :*) but we finally pushed you out.
After that i saw the French waking up and had to log out. Hope to have some fights again today

But i don’t see anyone talking about the Whiteside borderland garrison ninja i did yesterday with a small number of people from RoF alliance!! (Icon – TaG – PI sorry if i miss someome)
Got it easily vs 3 defenders as we made sure orange swords popped on keep lord while a few people for LOVE guild where keeping your zerg busy at the bottom tower! Good tactics i must say you had a significantly bigger force in that map and it showed when we tried to go bay with our full numbers and got roflstomped!
But it was too late for your garrison

Oooh no you didn’t say undermanned! for 3 nights straight I have been defending EB and Stonemist against whiteside that brings surprising numbers (30 players at 4:00 GMT I mean really guys do you never sleep?). And don’t go and tell me I am just exagerating because having the outmanned buff in EB for 4 hours while your team AUTO-ATTACKS tower doors to death is a huge challenge!
Btw I have to give props to the 3 people that actually helped me save our EB Keep from the auto-attacking Whiteside zerg! Your people honestly auto-attacked their way to the inner door of the fully upgraded lowlands keep!

Great times in Arborstone Borderlands.
We made an attack at the bottom tower 25-man team with 10-11 commanders all using their icons at the same time lol

Bern.9613:

Siege: a military blockade of a city or fortified place to compel it to surrender

Not exactly what happens in game. The sixty man zerg comes, drops four or five catapults and smacks away for all of two minutes. All this while the other guy is sleeping. A siege can last from a few weeks to, the longest in history was Ishiyama Honganji, twenty-one years.

Not true mate as the siege of Candia in Crete, Greece lasted 22 years (1667-1689)

My favorite engineer! Love seeing her play her engineer more than me playing with mine! Well it doesn’t help having her in my guild but whenever i see her online i just log my thief and follow her in zergs!
She makes the best distraction while i go stabby-stabby behind their backs

I love how everyone has started QQing about queues after leaving the lower tier servers in mass to find a spot on the higher – full in regards to WvW servers.
You decided to go with the zergs you have to deal with the queues get over it.

@ Angry Commander,
So? we keep doing the same, every day all week to all your 3 keeps xD, we dont scream about it to forums dont we? xD. And what we should say about Rof? we defend their Hills for 8 hour str8 with only 6 people until they finally gave up xD.

Doing the same when you are PvDoor at 5:00 GMT doesn’t count as stealing the garrison during peak hours sorry!

Yorric Hunt.8214:

After fighting with RoF more than any other server since playing this game i can confirm that you will be hard pushed to find exploiters among them. [ICON] specialize in taking your biggest and best keeps from right under your noses. Ive never seen anyone from [ICON] or [HxH] glitching cheating etc. If they took it it was legit.

It’s so awesome to see your work recognized by the enemy! (Especially from enemies we have been stealing (or trying to steal) fully upgraded garrison daily!)

you can actually jump in but it takes practice and knowing hte best positioning (did it on my 30th or so try) so we eventually repaired it to be on the safe side

You are lucky you didn’t enter lol i am the commander of EB for the time and you had a realyl hug eand nasty surpirse waiting the moment you stepped in with a ton of siege aimed at the hole!! Too bad for our supplies that you didn’t actually get inside

Seriously to the people from RoS and afterwards UW camping RoF borderlands for the WHOLE NIGHT please just let me sleep…
Had some great fights with you when ICON was training so just give me a break!
Ooh on a side note YOU AREN’T TAKING RoF garrison while i am around!!!!

Epikindine dude Far shiverpeaks? Are you sure you are posting in the correct forum thread? This is the RoS – UW – RoF thread!

You do realize XT guild did the same with a 30-man group right? don’t judge 10-15 random people running for their lives into that zone while you got a full guild team doing the same just because they lost the fight.

Yes exactly i don’t blame the server as a whole i specifically said the “Underworld Mesmer from the guild Out in Tyria” is hacking not every Underworld. But sadly that guild used the mesmer to first clear all defending siege then run in to take the camp from us.

I want to thank the Underworld mesmer from the guild Out in Tyria (OiT tag) for glitching his way under bluevale camp and destroying all our trebs hitting Underworld bay.
He got reported and i am posting this here hoping that someone in UW server wants to have a fair fight by finding him and also reporting him to Anet.
I seriously believe you are fair fighters guys prove me right by getting that mesmer banned.

It has also been mentioned that our numbers are the same while having at least double our numbers everywhere = not the same

Yea i can attest to that they are at least 3 to 1 in gunnar’s favor in their borderlands defending while we are also seriusly outnumbered in RoF. There is not even a single speck of organization in their defense they just run and zerg every attack we do to death.

Just an update on this week’s ICON fights. While our score might be really low due to night capping from Aurora, during our peak hours we actually manage to be first in points gained and bases captured!!
Ninjaing bay in AG borderlands and keeping it for 2 hours with a total of 12 guildies vs 40-50 AG attackers was of the best outmanned fights this week!
So come and join one of the most hard fighting servers there is! No WvW Queues! And we would really love a few more players as defending your garrison in EB at 6:00 in the morning 2 vs 40 (YES TWO) for over 40 minutes seems kinda awesome! Imagine with 10 or even 40!

As the newest commander of ICON for now i have to say to you fellow gamers come and join our server!!!
Although we were stuck in 2nd spot in WvW for a lot of matchups it was mostly because of our low numbers during the late night + morning but the server has a great fighting spirit!
Even after fighting against huge underworld zergs (they could almost fill 4 maps when we were struggling with 2) our server kept fighting and didn’t quit! Not even random players not belonging to PvP guilds stopped trying. So we managed to completely dominate this week and if it goes on we will go up a tier!!
Hope to get some new people to have fun with see you all in RoF!

Your wish came true! Just 1 hour ago we had + 695 points (absolute maximum)!!!
Even though the start was hard and we were struggling at +200 with some kitten crazy tactics from our new commander we made a huge gain in a very short time in EB!
Hope this keeps up!!
