Guild Wars 2

Engels, for your viewing pleasure:

You let me know how often it happens that we run with more then 5 and we’re not fighting in an area where a lot of zergs are active, ok?

Wedo, [oPP] and [Riot] share a lot of players so it’s not really that strange that you’d find [oPP] members running with [Riot] and vice versa. Even as the guildleader of [oPP] I have a [Riot] tag, the guildleader of Riot has an [oPP] tag too.

Before Anet added orbs we were forced to find fights at the spawn-points because nobody wanted to come out and play on the map. If we stayed at the spawn long enough, zergs would show up and that’s how we got our fights. We don’t claim to be the best at all (others label us that) but it’s fairly obvious that we are high on the kill-on-sight list by every one and we love playing with that pressure.

To be honest, we play in tier 1 and you just can’t expect your ‘fair’ fights. We might run 6-7 groups during NA prime because we have zergs chasing us but the majority of the time it’ll be 3-5 players.

Zergs, Havoc groups, roaming groups, solo players… a kill is a kill.

Engels.8537:

make them split with my thief to chase me around the map its really funny,

So you’re a pro runner that gets annoyed when people use your own trick against you. You’ve been trying to get that trophy kill but you just haven’t be able to pull it off and due to that you feel a bit frustrated.

Son, why are you posting here?

Thank you for putting this online!

Their roaming teams actually put up a great fight. And they don’t deserve to get zerged down. Maybe you guys should go there, learn a few things from them.

And another fight we win!

Anomaly.9327:

Sometimes I stand around with 10 other JQ players and watch how one of my own friends gets stomped by a group of 12. I’m such a great friend, aye?

Agreed!

Did you notice they just roll over Cyyrix? Not even attempting to press a button to attack or defend. Just gave up and then nag on the forums about how we’re winning… LOL

Only thing we can QQ about is when your guys are saying stuff like, “Don’t even engage” or “Click the waypoint” *LMFAO

Exactly, you need less of that

Anomaly.9327:

Bro, I know it’s hard. But you CAN. I believe in you <3

Anomaly, your guys aren’t even willing to fight anymore. They rather stand to the side and look at how their own guild members are getting stomped. This isn’t an issue with our guilds, this is an issue in your own guild. Your guys are already calling a fight before it even happens….

Don’t go pointing fingers at us, step up your own game…

Well… we obviously do…

JudgeD.5673:

Had a good bit of fun scouting on all the BLs tonight. I think I ran into RIOT a few times, and had fun “avoiding” oPP by south ruins ( I use that term loosely).
Also, that tussle at Bauers was interesting to that TC thief, who I don’t think had seen an evasion/bunker engineer before. TY to those BG guardians for providing the test hammers.

Don’t avoid us : (

Love this match up already

I’m glad you can’t see the 10 perma-stealthed thieves that we have in this screenshot…

Phew!

So is JQ and TC’s strategy tonight to ignore Blood Lust caps? This is seriously boring. I want SoR back. At least they put up a fight.

I was farming Riot this morning. You should wake up earlier.

How about you come farm us now that we have more than 3 people on?

Good fights. Thank you, NS.

Oh snap…

Greens Daily Ritual.9025:

You could have just said “I do it” and we would have gotten the rest from your sig. Everyone knows thieves are the usually the worst trolls in the game.

But I didn’t

I do it….

1. When I do it, people that want to fight will come back.
2. When I do it and people don’t come back then they were zerglings that got caught, no sympathy…
3. My respect is earned, not automatically given. If I’m jumping, you didn’t earn it.
4. If something like this already bothers you, it’d like to suggest to not go PvP.
5. If I had emotes like /mock or /rude then I would use those too.

TW, it just ain’t your week is it?

Magikfox, just come on over, you know you want to hang out with me and Kitchen…

Snafu, you were just silly for moving away -_-

Your name means “defect” in German and I really think it fits you.

fixed

Zeke Azul Falcon.5176:

yeah it depends on the guild, we have HB, SUPR, RIOT and oPP and some i forgot to mention, usually roaming depends on the guild if your talking about HB and SUPR usually they have 10 to 16 max, but for the rest i only see 5-8.

LOL i do not think that way, the moment we saw you guys move on the battle field these are organized wvw guilds we thought, i only encountered NS, i saw 2 bank tags the other night but they were away from keyboard in SM when we took it over.

[oPP] normally runs groups with only 3-5 players. During NA prime hours we might be able to field about 8 players but then groups get split up and we kinda roam separately.

If maps are really quiet then both groups will probably hang out near the enemy spawns : )

But I wish we’d have that luxury to always run 5-8… hehe

Ashbringer.8172:

stack?let me see
SOR EU>BG>JQ,
SOR NA>BG>JQ,even though,WARD and ACO moved to SOR,so you tell me hwo to stack a time zone?
BG OCX>SOR>JQ,but now not sure who will win that time zone,you know,SOR got HIRE,OCX,XPK,etc.
SEA time zone,all 3 servers are competitive now, JQ got a little more coverage.

so now you tell me how to stack a server!!!

This one time, at band camp…

keelhaul.8039:

33min – 39 mins when you initially " hit us hard "

Think you might have got a couple downed. GJ.

Ouch… hahaha

Santa.4753:

Those were some great fights on FA bl tonight. Really happy with this match up!

I don’t see how people can like t1 servers ._.

That lag was god awful.

When the zergs are trying to push for PPT, that’s when things go laggy. When you see orange swords on any of the keeps, it’s time to take a break for about 30 minutes to an hour. I’m guessing the borderland servers are struggling with the collision detection and calculations and since tier 1 has a lot of keep fights going on… lots of lag

Kreamciqul.4617:

Not quite, before the GvG started and between every round, oPP members would constantly attack us putting us into combat and just being trolls. had respect for you guys back on Blackgate but wow..

Somebody had respect for us?

…

Wow, that’s a new one..

They moved to JQ.

It doesn’t matter who gets the blame, [Rise] would have won those fights if it wasn’t for [random guild name]…

[Pro] decided to move server but while moving they left some of their best players behind. On their new server they couldn’t quite live up to the expectations and I think the guild is rather demoralized. We haven’t seen Joker and his whole group for about a month or so…

Got to love the impact GvG can have on a guild…

I can see a lot of large guilds trying to adjust to the smaller scale stuff but struggling with the change to their own mindset. Don’t be surprised to find very large zergs running around in the new areas when it gets released because people don’t like big changes to their playstyle…

And Klingon thieves would be awesome! Hearing random Klingon battlecries but not knowing where they’d be coming from would just scare the kitten out of you.

gebrechen.5643:

You call them Klingons? I dont see the honor in that. Most oPP I see run from a 1v1 and come back to make it a 4v1.
And Klingon thieves.. COME ON!

/nerdmode off

Be happy we only bring 4, most other guilds would come back with more then 30.

On a serious note though, a lot of our solo roamers don’t run the [oPP] tag when running around by themselves. Running the [oPP] and/or [Riot] tag cames with a lot of extra attention. Zergs will be called in to chase down 1 guy.

And if you got killed by 4 [oPP] players then you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. That’s not our fault, that just sounds like you tunnel-visioned and you got caught with your pants down.

We do get a lot of Klingons, that’s what we call the pugs that follow us.

People want to win fights so they follow teams that have been dominating.

Klingons represent on how long you’ve been at a certain point and how well your group has been doing. When we notice we have more Klingons then what our group size is, we move on.

We do exactly what you describe but I personally wouldn’t call it a place with minimal resistance. Aggravating people normally means that they’ll come back with more players. I don’t want to just win a fight, I want to dominate a fight.

I want enemies to get better, pointing out their flaws so they’ve got something to work on. Hopefully they’ll remember the stuff that we do and come back with a vengeance…

And be happy that GW2 spawnpoints are protected, in games like Warcraft that isn’t the case. My rated battleground group won the majority of its games by just camping the enemy spawnpoint.

We’re all pretty laid back guys that don’t take the game serious. Funny enough, a lot of our enemies do, which is where trolling becomes somewhat of an art.

Jedbacca.6297:

oPP does the same thing our small skirmish teams do on “offensive maps.” This is to run from one bottom spawn area to the other bottom spawn area on either of those two maps looking for small scale fights. It’s the quickest area to get in to a smaller fight making the ruins a pretty popular place from one spawn tower to the next. For this upcoming update, these skirmishes will probably get relocated to the cap points because that will have a natural draw of more roamers toward shiny lights.

@Jed; We’re a group that has 0 interest in playing the PPT game. We really just run around, looking to kill stuff. We’re looking forward to the patch though, zergs will have to make choices and we’ve got more areas to zig-zag our way through which fits our co¢kroach playstyle perfectly. But even though it’s a nice starting point now, I’m sure we’re just going to move around the map and look for trouble wherever we can.

Sir Kaboomski.1508:

Does oPP spawncamp FA spawn on Blue and Green BL every night? I’ve seen them multiple days this week, mostly thieves.. so pro yo.. lulz..

@Sir; Our fights normally seem to start near the ruins where we normally win the initial fight. Those that are still alive will retreat and we end up fighting near areas where the enemy players can hide behind guards, siege and invulnerability spots to try and gain the advantage.

So yah, if you see us infront of your spawn then it’s mainly because some of the players (maybe it’s you) ran away to a ‘safe’ spot but still want to ‘poke’ us.

Fun facts; We actually have a few new recruits from SoR who were repping [Lulz] and are mostly thieves. We also got a few players from [Pro] these last few weeks so your last statement is very true.

globe.7238:

Some really fun 1v1’s from the oPP guys outside SM and from Digirev, much appreciated fellas. Sorry about those last few getting interrupted, I had great fun though. Keep bringing the good fights!

Don’t be sorry, stuff like that happens

Stick with your commander and the 5v1 would never happen…

Looking forward to this! A LOT!

Because they’re tired of dying to you, duhr…

I don’t see the difference…

In both cases you don’t earn the right to be a commander.

Getting rid of commanders would make fights better…

-_-

Well… I could tell, quite easily : p

Grammatica, hoofdletters, punten en zinsopbouw. Laat je zinnen aan iemand die Engels als moedertaal heeft zien voordat je ze gebruikt in een video

Good stuff Kyle

Dutch by any chance? Have somebody proofread your sentences before you add them

Just a little clip to show how easy it is to apply confusion on a target while using the perplexity runes.

Please! Cap condition duration, stop putting all conditions on 1 ability, remove the AoE limit and add a cooldown to the perplexity runes. These changes would make me a much happier person…

I’d just like to see some very basic UI adjustments that would make my life a bit easier and I’m really not asking for much.

A better combat log output, being able to see party members/guildmembers on the minimap, maybe even increase the party size to 8 and the tradepost…

Why can’t I just look stuff up by stats or armor type?

“OMG, you hit Bay while there was a GvG going on”
“OMG, BT killed people in WvW”
“OMG, a guild is using arrowcarts to defend a tower”

Bunch of carebears…

Fuzzion.2504:

Not much difference in skill except in tier 1 we have to learn how not to get too greedy because a zerg could be right around the corner.

Roamers in higher tiers learn to handle larger groups better then those that play in lower tiers, so the mindset of how to approach fights will be different.

For example; A player from a lower tier would probably be less likely to be spotted near orange swords as to where players in the higher tiers will stalk zergs just to see how many they could kitten off.

Also I think the pace is a lot faster in the higher tiers due to the amount of people and due to that you need to have a bit more awareness. If you aren’t aware of what’s going on around you, higher tiers can be really frustrating.

I don’t understand why this hasn’t been fixed yet… It’s the number #1 that angers me the most.

“Reform guys…”

Boulderbolg.3460:

You can add oPP from Blackgate and CAPS from Sanctum of Ral.

We zerg…

Rednik.3809:

You want to say that commander of 25+ guild group must drop everything and try to catch roaming group at any cost or what? Different sizes means different tasks, and i even don’t mention what we are often only sizable organized force in EU timezone, since KISS raid time is not set in stone and SoR don’t have a ton of SEA who can play overtime, or extra blobs of fairweather pugs die to population.

No effort to ‘catch us’ was required since we were actually charging into him and his group. Only thing they were catching was a trip to the waypoint for a rez.

And sure, he wasn’t with a 25+ group that time but his group was still bigger then ours. But I like your reply though, gives a good idea of your thought process.
