Guild Wars 2

IoJ can spout all they want about how they win with “equal numbers,” but literally 10 of us held Lowlands against a 50+ zerg. I haven’t yet encountered an IoJ that has gone solo, and even with their superior numbers they glitch and send spies to our servers. Now I remember why I hated being in a match with you guys.

Still love FC, you guys are well coordinated and could give us a hard time without bringing 50+ to the battle!

TeamBattleAxe.3901:

To be fair, we learned everything we know about PvDoor from Rob and [Os].

Gosh. Please don’t put my name on that.
If you want to put my name on it you guys are going to need some one on one lessons.

When you can PvDoor on a map, which contains the same amount of enemy players as your own side, thats when you know you have succeeded in WvW.

You certainly aren’t selling yourself short LOL…

If you’re that ashamed of it, why do you do it? The picture is nonsense because it fails to show that DR supposedly had equal numbers on that map (or that you even succeeded). Whenever a conversation about PvD spouts up, your name is always mentioned.

Oh and nice pugs btw

It’s screenshot time!

In the first picture you will see that either GoM or NSP likes to build catapults and not use them!

In the second image you’ll find an upscaled signet warrior from GoM trying to solo me with a cannon. How original.

Aaaand finally, the third image you will see that the trebber from the previous image has actually stopped trebbing Anz just to hit me. kitten I’m flattered. Didn’t know I was more important than a tower

It’s not like it matters anyway, NSP simply glitched it to flip it red. There were no holes in the walls and no mesmers inside (we had flipped it an hour before. from GoM, not NSP. and I searched thoroughly for mesmers while I drained the supply.) A shame our enemies need to resort to cheating in order to win, a big shame indeed.

Not enough rams, I am disappoint.

Why?

Really, why? xD

Someone jokingly said “10 rams” on TS and it sounded fun so everybody tagged along and added a few rams. Seeing all of the confused GoM was worth the massive waste of supply

Not enough rams, I am disappoint.

Killing one person with four others is a huge accomplishment for this guy. Congrats mate

gimmethegepgun.1284:

Huh, how’d you get inside the cube on the ground? When I tried to get in in the past I’d hit an invisible wall over the holes in the cube that you could walk on (like if there was glass, but not rendered).
Also gotta be careful near that thing, there are holes in the ground near it that you cant get out of.

Jump up the wall to the right, eventually you’ll find a hole in the “invisible wall”

Ever wonder what the massive pyramid of Rata Sum looks like from the ground? Or how about what Polymock Arenas is going to be like? Well, I was asking myself these questions for a very long time, until finally curiosity beat me. With a few revive orbs, I was able to successfully gain access to the area under Rata Sum. These were my findings (screenshots below):

It turns out Rata Sum is not floating in the air, but instead, it floats in the water. The lake beneath Rata Sum looks very deep because it is so dark, but it isn’t actually that deep at all. The pyramid simply ends in the water at a single point – I was expecting some sort of easter egg at the very bottom, but nope. It just ends. Under the water looks pretty though, as streaks of sunlight were able penetrate through the water.

I looked around for a bit longer, and couldn’t find any easter eggs. Just undeveloped content – but GOOD undeveloped content. However, after vigorous exploration for a long while, I was able to find a room on the cliffs near the pyramid. There was only one thing inside this little room – an asura gate. Jackpot.

I’m very anxious to see what’s on the other side, and you guessed it, I found the Polymock Arenas. It’s abandoned and there was still no traces of any easter eggs. However, it was still a very interesting place although unfinished. I took a bunch of screenshots, but I’ll only show some of my favorites.

Anyway, after a long while of exploring and finding nothing too incredible, I went back to the asura gate and went through it. It took my straight to Asura jail – bail me out if you can

Enjoy guys, it was fun

RawrItsTandy.6425:

I love the video for your server! Seems like exactly what I would like. Do you know how the latency is for European players on your server?

Wish I could tell you, mate. I personally haven’t heard any of our EU complain about it, but I will ask around and try to find more details to let you know.

pita spoon.5708:

see the blue yak south of ruins. it came from the south camp. how does that happen??

also why do yaks stop at enemy towers?

The south camp was probably blue first. The blue yak would have moved out onto it’s route before GoM came to the camp to flip it. If a camp flips, that doesn’t mean it’s yaks automatically die.

Yaks stop at enemy towers because they follow a specific path every time. ANet never programmed a route that takes the yak straight to a keep, and I theorize that it’s partially because it would make yak-running too easy. Don’t worry though, yaks will never drop supply at an enemy tower.

Raine Akrune.8416:

Amazing fights in DR borderland last night. Thank you GoM and NSP, you guys put up an amazing fight. All that south west fighting was great and showed serious communication all around. You earned every point you got out there and I hope we get to fight some tough kittens like you again!

EDIT: I forgot the picture. >.<

Gah! You guys are so separated it makes me cringe

orktorzult.9368:

is it easier to bust walls or door?

It depends heavily on the circumstances, and it would take paragraphs upon paragraphs to explain when to use doors or walls.

But for a general answer:
If you have one ram against a non-upgraded gate and one catapult against a non-upgraded wall (so one tap will hit, no holding down of 2 required), with no defense at all… The ram would tear the gate down first and it also costs 10 less supply to build.

However, in no way am I saying it’s easier to bust doors down, because it varies every time.

Devanuze.8734:

PS. Your SS told us about the golems

The golem rush they attempted failed before I posted the screenshot

I never liked waypoint tappers. Something that takes such little skill (especially at somewhere like Lowlands water-gate that has no guards for it) should not help a server so drastically.

So I ask you, guildless male human Necromancer assaulter from GoM, do you know why waypoints contest when their keeps are contested? Because when keeps are under attack, players spawning directly into the battle from one side is unfair. One server would have a constant inflow of players while the other would be destroyed, not having nearly enough players to counter the permanent inflow of enemies through the waypoint.

When you tap a waypoint, you are cheating this system. Notice that the “Repel the enemy attackers” does not say “Repel the enemy tappers”

Not trying to bash those who do tap waypoints (it’s a good tactic that takes very little skill, why wouldn’t you use it?), but I do believe that ANet should do something about it.

When the point gaps are so minimal like they were this entire match, every little point matters, and we made that perfectly clear today.

We barely came in second, with a 15 point lead (The scoreboard was taken after the final point tally)! If you think about it, without that camp we could have very well lost second place. With the two yaks there giving 3 points each after the new update, and the camp being worth 10 points (5 points away from NSP + 5 points going toward DR), that camp earned us a total of 16 points. It really goes to show that every little bit helps.

Having so much fun in this tier with NSP and GoM, great fights and incredibly tight point gaps.

Mysticjedi.6053:

Lesson 1: don’t fix it as long as a treb is hitting it.

This is a generalization.

If you are confident that you will lose the tower/keep, it is very important to drain the supply. Repairing walls is often a great way to accomplish this – even if they are still trebbing it. It also delays them, which will hurt them if they intend to extend through the tower/keep.

But it would be impossible to explain this to a PUG

The mod must have been from Darkhaven!

Devona is forever my home, the most friendly and loyal people I’ve ever played with <3

Outmanned in EB, time to lose everything!

Toble.2968:

Hi, my name is I am Harmless,
I am here to kick your kitten
Devona has got good fight in them,
Just you wait, NSP will WIN.

I added a verse. <3

It.. It’s beautiful. I think I shed a tear :’)

DR is having tons of fun in our new tier. Lots of small-scale action and no massive DH zergs (and I haven’t seen any hacks lol)

Go SF, my old comrades!

(listen to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuB2DP60fOQ for the full effect)

16 weeks we have met with the taste of defeat,
It seems wherever we go, we’re always getting beat.
Yet every day we make a stand,
because we are the most loyal in the land.

We fight nonstop, and we never fight alone.
For we are with Devona, and she is our home.
So begone, all bandwagon and fairweather,
You’ll never break our spirits, so long as we’re together.

Fight today, fight for our fallen friends,
And never back down until the battle ends!
And if your health, falls to zero,
you’ll meet our comrades, in the Hall of Heroes!

Join the battle, and be the best you can be,
When the cannons fire, it is us they will see!
Storm the keep, and raise our banners to the walls
When your weapons clash, may you both hear the call:

“FOR DEVONA!”

Awesome fights in NSP borderlands, you guys are fun!

Hoping to see more of GoM this week as well.

(this bunny… is spying on me…)

We have been found out! The NSP Bunny spy’s were our best kept secret too

It’s okay, I reported him. He was also using the zoom AC hack and corpse-taunting the dead. What a scrub!

KinkyGiraffe.4123:

DR you seem to have misplaced your points, where did they go?

PvDoor champions strike again! Have fun down in T7 you cute little things.

But im still sure your server will be able to ‘stomp’ IoJ if it wasnt for DH, im certain <3

Thanks mate, now I don’t have to respond to the guys asking for proof that IoJ can’t have a respectful match without trash talking. I think this is enough.

Mini Me Three, turn your [HARD] tag on!

It’s a shame that IoJ brags about getting second because of PvD on the forums, but that isn’t enough for them. Now they’re sending spies to DR because they are so scared of us!

This guy was a definite spy. Guildless, level 1 (a guildie partied with him for a brief moment), didn’t say a word. He just stood at the waypoint moved around sometimes to keep from logging out. Everywhere we went, HARD would follow us. We were going to ninja the garrison on IoJ BL, but we were left in complete confusion when we were met by a massive HARD zerg. We kept going for objectives but every time we were greeted by the same HARD zerg. We knew certainly that this guy was a spy, so we left to go to DRBL..

And he followed us. I didn’t get a screenshot, but several other guildies did. Just as we all left to go to DRBL, we found him chilling in our garrison! What a scrub. Then, we went back to IoJ BL and a few moments later, who pops up? That’s right, good ol’ Mini Me Three. After Dark dropped his tag and stopped communicating through /map chat, we found no more problems with HARD.

It really is disgusting that a guild that brags so much about beating us needs to cheat to win. If there was a shred of respect for HARD within me, it has all been lost. You guys are so bad it’s laughable.

Mag’s NA presence is really awesome so if an oceanic guild is looking for a new home, MAG would be a good place. We DB, are moving to T2, WM on KN is rumored to have disbanded(not sure, no idea) so they could use some people! MAG’s are well skilled and joy to talk to in game. Highly recommend

Last I heard, WM got hit with mass bans for, and here’s the shocker, botting.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

IT’S… SCREENSHOT TIME!

http://i.imgur.com/lkCP10s.jpg – A picture says a thousand words… I think this one says “Darkhaven’s superior and amazing tactics.”

http://i.imgur.com/Y4pz3Yu.jpg – Darkhaven using 4 trebs on a paper tower that we just took (the fourth treb is out of sight). The funny part is, we took all four trebs out anyway!

http://i.imgur.com/vklDQnV.jpg – Darkhaven’s 50+ zerg is craving 2-6 badges! Grub style! Dem tactics!

http://i.imgur.com/nLKe3KL.jpg – The king of amazing seige placement strikes again.. Nicely done, but I think it should have been just a bit closer!

tSK, TSK, [AD], tsk tsk!! I thought we were friends!

They probably knew it was you.

MrFluffy.9307:

I think DH might be throwing this week to stay in our tier. DR all I gotta say is WOW. With the numbers you showed us tonight you could easily have beaten DH last week. And to my fellow Janthirs, love you guys <3 even though we have the smallest WvW population in this match up we are still able to put up a good fight

We have numbers on reset night, but only then. Other than that, we have outmanned in all maps other than our BL (sometimes even in our BL). To say that you have the smallest WvW population in this matchup would be highly debatable. Your confidence blinds you.

saiyr.3071:

Elementalist Owner.7802:

Strange, a few months ago (it was just before paid transfers), I saw a thread encouraging players to not join Maguuma because you were happy where you were in WvW. Did some of you get tired of losing?

No, but our Oceanics are burning out with 1000000:1 odds every night.

I feel you, bud. Where DR is, Darkhaven has a massive population for T6, forcing us to fight 4:1 at all times – we should be getting destroyed right now, but Darkhaven’s lack of skill makes up for their incredible numbers.

Acelerion.6820:

People that follow us without being in ventrilo, especially up levels, are little more than rally bait. I’ve been burned too many times. So if you want to hug someone’s nuts its polite to ask first.

I prefer running in small 5-man groups, so I tried running with OINK once (out of curiosity mostly). You guys told me to screw off I scurried off without saying a word, but secretly hoping that a zerg wouldn’t think twice about crushing you. No hard feelings now though, of course, y’all are some fine roamers indeed.

Too many guilds in DR care only of being the best guild in the server. Isolated guilds like OINK won’t join the server TS or get involved with planned attacks, which is one of the major reasons we are losing this match. I used to think this way of ADQQSTY, but recently we launched a coordinated attack together – while they distracted DH’s massive zerg with a small roaming group, we swept in and grabbed DH’s garrison. It was a glorious act of teamwork and support. Guild coordination = success

Hm, I seem to have gotten entirely off-topic. Well, cheers and happy gaming.

Gab Superstar.4059:

But we were doing so well, page nine already!

If it makes you feel any better, the T1 EU thread has 81 pages you’re a little behind!

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Arrowcart-Exploiting/first#post1856065

Just to get some of it out of this thread, please use that link to discuss the AC trick

ghoriar.3410:

Abyss thief commander even taking part of the exploit. Can see his red circle well inside of the wall.

As if having a huge lead, a huge zerg, and a few golems weren’t enough. Pathetic.

The people of DH really do have massive ego issues. They have more points than both IoJ and DR combined. In this picture I see a total of 5 DR defending, and DH had enough to create swords (so the 30+ accusation is accurate, although I believe it was much more than that).

If you’re destroying your opponents by more than double their points, and you have a zerg that outnumbers them 6:1 at minimum with 2 golems, and you still feel the need to exploit, your server is garbage. It’s not even like it’s one or two random PUGs anymore, it’s an Abys commander now, taking out 80 supply (at least) worth of seige unfairly. DH is most definitely the least skilled server DR has met. I apologize to those that have been playing fairly and friendly toward us, this message is not to you. It is to those that have cheated and killed your reputation.

Tuluum.9638:

@Pixie;

That first picture makes it perfectly clear. Did you happen to see the guild tag of the person on the AC? I know you cant publicly say it, but please send me a PM if you did.

Why are we using these things DH? Seriously. This isnt some life or death situation where “anything goes.” Its a game where we challenge ourselves against others, and to use things like this gives us ALL a bad name.

Completely ridiculous.

edit: To be perfectly clear, I want nothing to do with a server that continues to use this. Its bullkitten. Obviously, I am just one person, but I guarantee I am not alone.

Can you please be the supreme ruler of Darkhaven now? Seriously, why can’t all of DH act like this guy?

From Devona’s Rest:

Sir Morningstar [AoD]

Morningstar is by far the best commander I’ve seen in any server (he is currently on a break for IRL right now). You may think that one person couldn’t have much of an impact on the entire battlefield, but it’s almost scary how skilled he is. Everybody listens to him, for some reason he always gets people to follow directions – I personally believe it’s because they all respect him so much.

His SM treb warfare techniques are spectacular, and he teaches the rest of us as we go along. He is always quick to boost the morale of our server — in one instance he stopped the group for a good five minutes to give a speech that made us want to scream, “FOR DEVONA!” You may think that this would be a waste of time, but we were so inspired and thirsty for blood that we nearly took all of EB because of it. Morningstar never gives up on his teammates, and just seeing him in action takes all fair weather away from us. He is often asked by other commanders from opposing servers how he gets everybody to listen so well.

Morningstar is the reason that I became a competitive WvWer, and I encourage all of you (especially the commanders) to come to DR for just one week when he is back from his break, to see him in action. You could learn so much from it.

Anjo.3170:

if we are evenly matched we beat you the majority of the time., not sometimes. You are using this numbers/coverage claim as an excuse for a poor performance.

LOL does DH really think this way? Honestly this made my day, thank you for the good laugh.

Auvit.2970:

I know, right? Uneven battles should be banned by Anet. Hell, everyone on DH should get banned from the game for being such meanies.

Look, here is a screenshot of DH assaulting our tower with more people than we have. THIS ISN’T FAIR!

Zergs should be outlawed.

Edit: oops, thats actually DR with more people, but it seems like DR is leading the charge on the forums about how unfair fights are the Ultimate Evil™

But in seriousness, this stuff is really childish. Stop complaining about being outmanned. Its not surprising people on your server don’t wanna fight when they haven’t been winning lately. DH has had that happen, other servers have had that happen. Whining isn’t gonna solve anything.

Ha, nothing but bias and misquotation. DH will lie about anything to satisfy their egos. I don’t hate zergs, I never said that zergs should be outlawed. In fact, I encouraged DH to zerg more because we took everything back while they paid 100% attention to one objective. Please read before you spit an irrelevant rebuttal. Btw, 15-20 people is not a zerg, and I bet that they were wiped out by a 40+ DH zerg just seconds after the picture was taken.

In fact, I not once complained or whined about being outmanned. I’m simply proving the DH who believe that they win due to tactics wrong.

Wish I could’ve seen the posts before they were kitten’d, I’m sure there was something about us taking DH’s garrison last night LOL

Anyway, here’s some of DH’s classic “tactics”.

In the first picture you’ll see that DR has been doing very well in EB. We seiged up Durios and QL nicely, had them both upgrading consistently, and even built a treb. Both servers made attempts to get these towers, but even though we had the Outmanned buff, we never lost them.

But how does DH solve this problem? With a 50+ zerg, as always. I wish I had a screen resolution large enough to show you this zerg, because I’ve never seen anything like it outside of DH.

The last picture is proof that DH can only solve problems with numbers. Everything in our territory is blue other than the keep, because their massive zerg just wiped by it. Everything that DH zergs down, we get back while they zerg their next objective.

bellrang.1628:

DH its a bit mad when we take there Garrison on there BL.

Good ol’ fun.

So much fun we had in DHBL tonight

I found a… strange… guild name… but it’s “Shoulda,” not “Should Have”

Don’t lower the requirements for these titles please.

In a few months, Morningstar will have a bunch of the titles. They are fun and challenging the way they are now, if you lower it because people are whining they will be useless. Please ANet, for once don’t listen to the minority of QQers

Lepew.7890:

Oh a bonus one. When IoJ chased us off the cliff.

This was very fun

Amazing job to Loosin for that plan, they were dropping like flies!

Crimson Magdelana.9024:

You’ll be even madder when you have to reflip all your things that run red overnight.

Haha, buddy the only one who is mad here is you.

Two people posted pictures of really great fights that we had (and were loads of fun) and you write paragraphs about how “mad” they are. Ha, I always thought HARD was the most respectful and friendly guild, now I understand it’s just kids yelling, “l0l0l0l0l umadbro?!” when they get angry.

Great fights to the rest of IoJ last night. You know, the ones that were actually on the battlefield and not boasting on the forums. Wish I had screenshots, it was a very intense battle for the garrison, but eventually we were overwhelmed. Keep up the good works and congrats for placing second!

Superman.2958:

that makes it so much more believable now you couldnt record it but it happened well i could tell you about a ele that could not be immobilized nor feared and he could tank about 10+ people and somehow got away, or the many of thieves ive seen and others have seen get into down state and he is being attaked but somehow gets back up, or some of the warriors somehow using skills that warriors do not have i believe they are hackers but whoops i couldnt record it to prove it sorry, cry somewhere else please ty

Regarding the elementalist: Have you possibly heard of condition removal and stability? Or MIST FORM?!

Regarding the thieves: Have you possibly ever heard of rallying out of the downed state? You do realize there are alternatives to being revived… Illusion of Life, Warbanner, rallying off of pugs or NPCs? Your ignorance blinds you.

Regarding the warriors: Probably an AoE buff from another class or an environmental weapon. Again, your ignorance blinds you.

Regarding your entire post: You have absolutely no evidence and every point you made could be explained by your lack of experience. I don’t know if you’re either really bad or trolling, but please refrain from making posts that bring down your server’s rep.

Can we please rename DH to Zerghaven?

Pretty please?

Xillllix.3485:

Gab Superstar.4059:

You are funny.

Let me give you a mission. Count the amount of “massive DR zergs” you see outside of prime time. Go ahead. Do it and return with results.

Or do you think that the match up is decided during the 4 hours that is prime time or the 20 hours that is not?

I’m talking about how you guys are playing when you have the numbers there. Lately I’ve counted a massive DR zerg pretty much every day. BTW you flanked us when we were attacking NorthEast IoJ tower (near ogres) yesterday and your zerg was massive (that is one case were you had a good commander and played well).

However bringing our smaller zerg down will not give you points automatically. IoJ on the other hand seem to be more tower and objective focused, while you guys certainly have the spirit but sometimes (I’m really not the only one thinking this) you are not playing logically. Banging your head on a keep door ignoring the undefended watergate is somethings that comes to my mind which I’ve witness multiple times.

HA. Devonians are in it to have fun, not to win. Some of us have fun killing zergs, some of us have fun taking towers and objectives. There is no way to “play logically,” because people like doing different things..

So really, by saying “you aren’t playing logically,” you really mean, “you aren’t playing the way that I want you to!” which is awfully arrogant.
