Guild Wars 2

I like friday the best.

But I’m not ready to throw the towel in on TC yet.

Scouting will be key

Hmm yes, sour apples and trolling. Not a great start to the day.

On a lighter note. Great fights last night DB you guys run some tight crews.

We’re not allowed to make playful jabs about fights without them being deemed as troll-posts?

That was directed at Havok,

Poor fella seems to take things really bad.

And you tend to only post “playful jabs”.

I sense some sour apples with you as well.

Regarding that Alpha Golem being flash built in the courtyard. I want someone to explain to me why this happened:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdsF21GjawM

I think someone answered it on the previous page, if its the same incident.

Good ele players will adjust.

Test it all out before you write it off as a bad patch.

That’s probably not the best thing to be sharing with everybody.

Superb action tonight everybody!

It feels like the numbers for the 3 servers stabilized really well tonight and the fights were quite even.

Had some fantastic small group fights and really enjoyed myself. I am also glad to see this forum’s change in tone. Really refreshing stuff.

Keep it up everybody

Where have MrSilver and Whitebeard been hiding?

Usually they are all over this thread. Don’t tell me there was a wedding and I wasn’t invited.

It would be interesting to see Anets numbers on transfers.

I doubt they would publish it, but it would certainly be a cool stat to know.

I’m not sure why some TC posters think they are in a position to push FA to tier 3.

That was already tried for 2 months straight without success and now with another strong contender here, you’ve got to watch your other flank.

Feel free to try, but you’re just hurting youself.

We’ve already proven that T2 is a good place for us. If you want a week without us, feel free to drop to tier 3 or jump to tier 1.

TC does not want FA out of T2!!!
You belong in T2…
DB, like KN has come out strong in our first match-up. They are putting the pressure on both TC and FA and have taken a big lead. (they out man us both through the course of the day) with strong coverage in all the maps. ( plus not all of the guilds have transferred to DB yet, so we have not seen their full strength)
Very quickly DB has become the Goliath in T2.
It will take both servers to keep them in check. If not, they will have a quick and easy path to T1. (not to mention you will be stuck with us for another 8 weeks)
We have had our “issues” before TC and FA.

• buries the hatchet*
  We need to co-exist or this will be a very,very,very long couple of weeks.

It’s going to be some long weeks for someone.

I know Tallis is ready for a change of scenery.

“Tarnished Tuesdays”…hmmm…ya dont say…

I also heard about a guild called [krew] xfering to FA….dont shoot the messenger ; c

If that’s the case, they better come talk to some peeps so they know what they’re getting in to.

FA is not a fairweather destination (not meant to be insulting, just want to be honest about it).

Oolune.4357:

FA gave me presents. =D

Lord Flame Ram will be pleased

Usagi.4835:

Hai to BT, ACE, RET and VK in FABL! There were so many of you that Lake walls weren’t even rendering for me!

Get off my lawn.

Always nice seeing FA players keeping it classy by jumping on bodies for a few minutes after 3v1.

Some FA tribes use this time honoured tradition to help your soul travel to the underworld.

Don’t be offended. The underworld didn’t want your soul and spit you out at a waypoint.

Perhaps a larger group would be the answer next time.

I had a good time last night in DB BL. Had some fun engagements with [rB] and [CYN] in some smaller scale fights.

Glad to see so many people out in wvw again and I had no idea DB had grown this much recently. The water in T3 must be pretty potent.

I’m so glad DB got that bay

LOL, go go DB!!

WyldKat.4712:

Usagi.4835:

I think you mean Agent Wyldkat. Does she have a code name/number?

The player is a he. I have no number. My father has referred to me by MANY different names over the years. “Buzzard puke” was the oddest.

Edit: Zestee is Vigil. Zetti is Whispers. ^^

Not so secret agent Buzzard Puke it is.

We shall contact you during the next full moon to commence operation “turn all TC siege the wrong way”. Due to budget cuts we are unable to provide a more suitable secret code name. The use of animal tonics to blend in has been approved.

Should you be discovered, pretend it was an “accident”.

Excellent work Wyldcat. I knew you were still on our side

I will message you for the next operation, “turn all TC siege”

Mwahahahahaha!!!

Fantastic players and good community. I highly recommend

This crew is one of the major contributors to FAs success.

Hey Jarvan, werent you on ehmry bay at the beginning?

No, RISE start 5 man roaming WvW guild in Sorrow furnace then turn PvE and start WvW in Crystal Desert as casual.. Then eventualy hardcore in Kaineng.

Oh ok. I confused him with someone else. Thanks for clearing that up

i love how Kain was so focused on taking FA they would ignore their whole Bl being taken by TC just to try take one keep wich ended up being taken by TC in the end lol.

Well it was all part of the alliance thing a ma bob. If you read the fine print it said that KN will attack everything FA while ignoring anything TC while TC took everything FA and KN.

If anything I think the KN diplomats and lawyers failed in putting together an agreement that would have divided the spoils equally.

I don’t remember are we allied with KN this week or are we stabbing them in the back still?

Furious, I don’t say this to be mean sir but that news had to have broke all the way to the rear lines for you to have heard it.

For this reset, the goal was a 2v1 to kick FA out of tier 2, with an overall goal of stabbing KN in the back. The alliance broke down going in to Monday and KN broke under the relentless pressure of FA and TC from all sides.

Several factions from the once formidable KN have broken off to pursue fights in hotly contested areas of wvw.

TC remains coy about their loose affiliation with KN and FA remains defiant through all.

;Niim.9260Lots of my friends quit because of the WXP system and tired of the game being so zerg focused. A lot will come back if ANET does something good.

I have seen the complete opposite. WvW has seen a huge influx of people since WXP. I think more have been drawn to WvW than have left.

Lol, that’s due in part to TC buying guilds from CD and the fact that your server is a bandwagon!

Of course you see the opposite

Terrain: id love to see more line of sight blocking terrain to allow for more ambushes and to hide movements. Now that culling is gone, there are few places to hide or elude enemies.

Queue times are good when you are on the right server.

Keeps need more protection for cannons and oil. These items are seldom used since they are covered in aoe or already destroyed. Please fix Anet.

Ranks are great. Leave em be.

Contesting of keep waypoints should only be accomplished by hitting inner gates. Its far too easy to contest these areas. Borderlands are hard enough to defend against 2 organized servers, and when you are unable to port to bay or hill because it was touched by a thief, people get frustrated.

I’m betting TC could take second spot in tier 1.

I’m curious to see if tier 1 is that much further ahead of tier 2. TC would be a measuring stick of sorts.

I fear you may have become too good at it. Being a wise “apple” that is.

But i guess if you’re going to create a persona, this is a good forum (pardon the irony) for it.

Why Furious…

Thanks for noticing!

Complements will get you EVERYWHERE!

LOL

MrSilver.5269:

…And Furious, just so you know.

I role-play a wise apple.

Case you were curious. (See what I did there?)

Whitebeard.5172:

Many of us in TC will be kind of sad to see FA drop to T3

I’ll be REALLY sad if they go.

Kinda like in the 1st grade when my best friend who just couldn’t keep up with the rest of the class was held back a year. The worst thing about him being in a different class was that we could no longer play dodge ball together at recess. Yeah the games were a bit lopsided, and I regret breaking his glasses when I hit him in the face that one time, but we always had a BLAST. At least I did.

And Furious…

My answer is no.

Well that’s too bad. Hopefully you can get the help you need.

WyldKat.4712:

nibbles.2408:

FA has been consistently judged by its forum warriors…I can guarantee the FA trolls won’t stop…

Enough of it left an icky taste with me and combined with some pleasant interaction with some TC forum people and a lack of actual attachments to FA and I bounced over to see what things were like.

2 hours is a hilarious small sample size, but it was pleasant. Less salty, angsty, spazzy. All I saw in chat was numbers and movements and all clears. I saw people responding to the info. I saw people hanging out manning siege no where near the action.

I saw an odd guild recruitment message. I’m assuming it’s a guild for charr, what with the fur and all.

I joined FA because a few people I knew, 3 steps removed from the people I knew from WoW, said they played on it. And they then said they never really play once I started playing. My time with FA and two of the guilds there has convinced me that I should just do my thing alone for now.

The thing that made me finally move, after all my “just play” talk was the fact that a 30 man zerg can just roll up your home Borderland all the way to Spiritholme and NO ONE called it out. Maybe it was said in voice coms, maybe, but still no one was there.

I was hot, after upgrading the camp, since I’m cheap and all. I remember FA as being more functional a month ago.

I’m in that self justification mode now, but the grass seems greener on TC through my rose colored glasses that cost $20 in gems. Maybe WvW and people’s bandwagoning is how ANet knew they’d make bank instead of monthly subscriptions.

Its an extremely dangerous process and something unfit for the public forums.

I misread that minus a very important letter L the first time through… Gods help me.

I knew you were a roleplayer at heart. All the best Wyld

Still a lot of time remaining. Its much too early to tell who will drop down a tier, so until Friday, have fun everybody. Please keep this thread open and troll free.

MrSilver.5269:

Look mother… FA learned to PvDoor.

Awwww… sooo cute. Our baby is all gownzup.

Hey MrSilver, your posts are becoming an endlessly negative chain. Go through your posting history and reread it.

Can you try to post things for the rest of the week that aren’t sarcastic or inflammatory?

Honest request man. Ill do the same, but we all need to cut this kind of stuff.

Lanimal.6541:

Gturtle.2864:

This is why us veterans of FA harbor so little respect for this incarnation of TC- you’re a server that used to have an admirable outlook- the ever humble TC militias! No large mega guilds fielding mega zergs just regular players banding together to get it done! Now you’ve become this over gorged self gratifying monstrosity. You don’t have anything figured out that FA or Kaineng (or any server above Tier 4) doesn’t know. You’re not out there crushing everything FA or Kaineng attempts due to some grand strategy. You have better coverage- that is not due to a lack of competence on FA or Kaineng’s part. Yet you’re here gloating as if you could provide tutelage to our WvW communities?

Sometime between this past December and now, TC sold it’s soul. Maybe Arena Net made them do it; but it’s done.

Yeah our superior coverage allowed us to repeatedly stay ahead of FA and even win T2 one week. It was clearly not our meta-strategy and ability to force 2v1 onto FA during our SEA timezone with vastly inferior numbers. Of course it wasn’t that.. Its not that we had a better grasp of the mentality of guilds on Kaineng and BG because we have been facing them for that much longer therefore having more experience dealing with them. Of course it cant be that.

The fact of the matter is that with the anomaly of one week FA has come behind TC even post its merger with IoJ guilds. You know when a competitive team/player fights against another competitive team/player in an e-sport and can’t seem to beat him/them. They go back to the drawing board and analyze their mistakes, where they are going wrong instead of just throwing their hands up in the air and saying ’bah its excuse X (coverage ) or excuse Y (serverzergballs)".

Really sit down and think about why you were unable to beat us even with a superior oceanic coverage and obviously superior skill (lawl). Think about how the five timezones work together, analyze the three servers their strengths, their weaknesses, their guild tendencies in their stronger timezone (WM was the most influential guild before TC got its transfers). Understand how you can make opposing servers play to your tunes through smart meta manipulation.

- “We should defend our garrison with our hearts out while sitting at 100PPT after we have lost all of our southern map to WM!!!” 5 Hours later – “Great defense guys we managed to save our way-pointed garrison through SEA timezone” : Result: Behind in points by 5-6k because of sitting in 100 PPT. Don’t worry we used to make the same mistake as well but we adapted. I am obviously not going to tell you how we adapted to WM’s stubbornness but we did; the only clue I am going to give you guys is that it required making extremely calculative decisions on sacrificing key objectives by watching the four map macro strategy (treating WvWvW as one giant map and not four individual ones).

Enough already. Just give it a rest.

Let’s not drop down to FA’s level. We’re dominating them so much now, they’re just bitter that we’re much better in terms of coverage and skill level.

Anyone else find this post ironic?

And yes, we were ping ponging between maps last night trying to bolster our defenses and hold what we had. You know, doing that whole PPT thing that some of you guys are telling us to learn.

I don’t have anything to add…I just wanted this quoted so I can look back at it every time someone from BT says they only play for the fights.

But… if you have nothing to add, why not just re-read the post?

Seems rather odd and contradictory.

Because sometimes it is nice to bookmark posts by replying if they are something that you have found particularly interesting. It just makes it easier to find them.

Or sometimes people do it to add commentary, and the statement “I have nothing to add,” is really the poster saying +1.

Hope that makes sense.

Always helpful MrSilver.

Thanks dude!

In other news, week 7 has been really fun so far

I’m excited to see how it finishes.

Gellor.6497:

We DB support FA, would like to see them soon!

<3 Dragonbrand

P.S. we haven’t faced Kain or TC as much so don’t take it personal!

P.S.S Have a great week all three servers, glad WM is back for Kain

Good to hear from you DB!

We look forward to fighting in the same tier with you fine folks again (whichever it may be)

Looks like FA is recovering from a pretty bad reset night!

FA is still going to T3 at this rate, but it’s much, much closer than yesterday: FA only loses -28 rating now instead of -55 yesterday.

Do you ever stop talking crap?

Day 2 of 7.

The “Pot/Kettle” level of this post is simply off the charts >.>

It is good to see FA hasn’t given up on the week.

Who little ol’ me?

Haha, its nice to know your server trolls are breeding new ones.

Dont get sucked it Rak, you’re better than that.

Sorry my “Irony Meter” just asploded seeing it was you saying that… forgive me?

I know Tallis has a bit of a kitteny streak but the post you quoted I read as actually supportive.

I’m also just bitter about this “Convenient Reset Time Change” /grumble

Ya tone can be tough to read sometimes, but Tallis is pretty consistent with the FA jabs.

Update…

And yes, this is TC attacking the keep that KN had on FABL. KN sent 10 people to attack TC’s Hills in FABL while TC was attacking FA’s Garrison, so… well… TC kinda retaliated against KN and took their stuff on FABL.

Retaliated…really, bad us. Seem to remember you guys doing the same more than a few times. Except we’d be attacking BG or FA at the time, not TC. We used to chalk it up to you being third and having get your points whatever way you could. How times have changed.

How many in your zerg on our BL tonight anyway?

TC has bigger zergs than both of us, but it is what it is.

We ate dirt since reset, so now its being returned. The week is far from over, so don’t count yourselves out yet.

See you on the battle field

Hilde.3816:

OutspokenAardvark.9781:

KN is back!! I’m super excited to what you guys bring this week. I want you guys to stay in this tier. If anyone has to leave, I’m sure you can guess who we would want that to be.

It’s actually pretty flattering to know that TC needs help from KN to beat us poor little FA-ers. Being the underdog is fun and lootiful.

hmmm

Amins.3710:

Not entirely sure why we should be loving them…

I mean, culling should never had been an issue given the history of MMO’s. Anyone whose been playing for 15+ years knows this.

The WvW system isn’t great. It’s ok and it has brought some interesting possibilities, but none of them have realized… maybe in a couple of years… but that’s proably too late.

The newest update was more of a big “bug patch” than anything and the rankings… however PvE nice, did absolutely nothing for the meta of WvW…

Still no legendaries.

Still no uniqueness.

It’s fun for a moment or two, but there are blaring problems that have could have been fixed, but didn’t have the balls to pull the trigger due to public backlash.

I’m still waiting for the WvW update…. though it is finally nice to see the people we’re fighting, so I’ll give you a “Thank You” for that.

Thanks Buzz Killington

MrSilver.5269:

FA Garrison is cozy!

You got in to the roofie stash again didn’t you….

I hope those kills are going to donations!

Drinking and forum use is dangerous, but what the hell…

Fantastic game Anet. WvW is by FAAAAAAR my favorite part of the game, but its always a treat to leave that zone and explore the rest of your amazing world. You should be proud of what you are creating and i can only speak for myself, but i think your team is doing wonderful things.

You will never know how much i appreciate your dedication to this game.
All the best!
