Guild Wars 2

Have No Faith In Me.1840:

Was a fun fight this week.

Had a lot of good 1 v 2-4’s. Though it would be nice if TC could watch a fight instead of attempt to help their server mate every time :p

I actually did watch a fight, and also – had some mates just watch earlier in the week.

Even after beating my opponent, I never spiked him, just ran off and let him res himself. I was on my necro and the battle was by the sentry between garri – Bay 2, 3 nights ago?

It happens. But more often than not – duels need to be scheduled out of primary paths.

The server listings are skewed. That’s all I will say.

Even the dead servers say High. The coding just does not compute. It’s like marketing ’hey ya we have busy, and super busy" servers. Busy = relatively dead… Super Busy equals t1 &2. And even in the Super busy category – the disparity is huge.

In any event – may the wxp trains go well from now till reset ~ hope some of the SoS and DB got to come to the yak parade last night.

This 1 week likely will decide the fate of 4 servers even if they play or don’t, simply by who pulls high and who pulls low.

Excited… don’t forget to buy popcorn, showtime starts in 8 hours.

<3 from a bud up north of the border

EDIT: I may as well add in a thanks to both DB and SoS, for most nights, when not in prime time, we had many good skirmishes with our havocs or golems late night pst. Have fun and hope to battle again soon.

I find this to be the reason why wvw is more appealing than any part of gw2 because of the ultimate manner of team work required compared to any other part of the game, and that it builds the community,

+1

Every server has/had those commanders. The guys not on voice, who don’t work with other commanders, who type everything (usually insults) in all caps. Luckily all of ours have moved elsewhere.
I’m the only jerk commander left on SoS, and I’m a lot nicer and respectful in game. I’m only a kitten here on the forums LOL.

We had one try to say “Hey PUGS … Follow me if you have a brain” … once … guess he enjoyed running solo.

TC pugs (even if sometimes fair-weather) are awesomely humorous, and for the most part … are all on the same page. Every server has a couple strange ones. (cough- a certain troll on Kaineng…. for example). I find it amazing though how our server manages itself and handles them. Most mature WvW group who have tons of fun (the guys who are in every night) and this kinda attracts more fair weathers to turn into regulars.

Last night for example, one of our EP commanders was just having a hoot of a time doing the strangest things – like trebbing or balli down gates.

TY for the fun and may the wxp/dargonite ores flip fastly until reset. (Sorry GOTL, I read about the minion master thing now… and realize why the dmg output yesterday was lower. We assumed it was just up levelled when we clashed last night).

If there are two commanders on the map – just whisper / check at the same time … we might break 90

I just dont’ want FA to be in gold league. Please let us lose as hard as possible. Gold League is going to be AWFUL.

You would rather be top of silver? Where you constantly zerg down 20 man groups with 60?

Is that not why you transferred to SBI?

I’m so hipster, I transferred to SBI before it was cool.

You transferred a month ago.

Matty, Matty, Matty …

drazzar.3042:

The maps are to small, if they were bigger, the zergs would be inefficient. The same goes for the way point in keeps – it just benefits the zergs. The trade-off for zerging should be the slow movement. imo you should only be able to port, if you are dead and there should be no way points in keeps.

And the maps should be larger, making more space for players to move whether 1, 5, or hell the guild group or zerg. But it would make zerg groups less likely to exist. You would likely have more people tucking away in keeps to play some defence too, because they don’t want to run back.

And roamers would love it. You could actually feel like roaming, hunting.

1 class – call it … pixel. 1 race – call it HAL.

Give it 1 weapon – pointy stick with 1 ability – poke for 1 dmg

Sounds fun.

Working as intended

sPvP size is good for sPvP – the WvW maps should be large. You should feel like your in another world.

But i like your ideas, they are more closely tied to the mechanics the hall of heroes offered. Various levels and types of maps you progressed through , including a capture the flag, and 4 way battle, a king of the hill … and the normal deathmacth

The video is showing that women are on equal grounds, and the ones in video games who lack maturity to realize it – as soon as they realize its a women, react in a manner where women then have to prove they are just as good as men … or are seen as less than equal. And Geeks are geeks – both men and women. The ones who make people ‘prove’ themselves because they feel girls are not good enough are the ones are actually causing the problems. While most/many other men don’t care if your male or female, rather just that you are good, and not going to cause issues.

Male chauvinism exists everywhere – and when a male chauvinist can hide behind his keyboard – its that much more challenging/worse.

Accept female gamers, because they are just as skilled as male gamers. Same could be said for racism in gaming.

~*~

This kind of crap exists for both sexes. But just because it’s women whining about it, for some reason everyone’s ready to jump in and lend their support.

If that’s not gender inequality, I don’t know what is.

I couldn’t hear you over the noise of your hammer train beating Eva down last night …

kidding – but yes … this day and age puts men in such a pickle of a position too.

I think the true equality video should not segregate women or man (but +1 for the women for doing the work and putting it out there- guys we got work to do) … but a true video combining guys and girls inputs – versus some of these clowns we play with who hide behind there screens and trash talk players in the community openly.

I won’t name names – but I’m certain that we could promote more positive equality and less of the immature and disrespectful attitudes you see ever now and then in map chat.

it’s a fine line though, because sometimes – good people even lose there cool, and succumb to a lesser level of maturity – myself included.

TC / Mags / SBI

^^ Would boost SBI & Mags likely into gold leagues.

Match up I’m hoping for anyway.

I would really like to see the FA/SOS/SBI … which basically would be a tale of who wants it more? I believe FA will be playing light until leagues.

SoS on the other hand, would be a good challenge for SBI.

I can’t believe all the smack talk that mag did and yet we’re still outplaying both servers. Just look at the points. Now that’s what you call superior tactics and skill. You could learn a thing or two from SBI mag. Like how not to fail miserably.

Yes. You are right!
I learned a lot!

1) brag more on the forum about superior numbers tactics
2) complain about x opposing server about having ‘too many necros’ when they wipe your group that definitely has more skill.
3) beat chest furiously every time you take a keep.
4) make repeated lame attempts at insulting an opposing server because you are outscoring them so CLEARLY you are WAY better at this game than they are
5) make immature guild names poking fun at said server for being ‘really really bad’

How am I doing?

You have really shown me the light. Tomorrow I will be transferring to SBI so I can be a good player too!

1)Undermining your superior servers gets you nowhere. You won’t learn unless you accept being outplayed by our superiority.
2)Maybe if you just stopped basking in your own glory you would realize that people like you are the reason Mag is bad.
3)Also, we are clearly better. If you ever turn off your forum warrior build and actually go into game you will see that we are winning by almost 40k points. That’s 40,000.
4)Dang, I can count too!

Dude, your going to miss the bus again, and this problem will continue to happen.

I’d place a salary cap on dem teams

Whose consistent?

Mags all year long

SBI once they face T1…

SBI while winning ….

Lol … kitten umption – this filter … in any event, tonight can some commanders if on or running – can maybe just ask and do a quick check when your queued. I’m sure the number will be up there, Even if 2 commanders only get 61 total – we can at least up the bottom level. (I would assume we should be able to get to 80 for people paying attention) and can be done on a regroup / merch sell period.

Commander tags are primarily tools for leading militia

it’s not the guild groups we need to help organize. Most of them already roll in voip and get organized when they log in (jump into a team, know how to target whomever is leading).

There are a lot of good suggestions that have been raised which would help in leading the militia of random players / pugs as some call though.

You have to ask from the following perspectives:
-What would help militia outside of a tag?
-What would help commanders lead militia with more ease so they can focus on the map and battles more?

This has nothing to do with guild groups or gvg’s. Consider the absolutely untrained who is mindlessly following the commander. How can commanders utilize these players better.

I’ll tell you 2 major issues which I see brought up continuously -

1. Supply info too tight – most militia sometimes stack – ish kinda close, but they don’t know how small that radius is.

2. One of the biggest pain points i think every commander has – message suppression.

I think FA needs some down time. To be honest they had a rough ride the past couple weeks. Silver might be good for them to pull it back a bit.

Supply info on a zerg, or coordinate a supply info with 2 zergs on map. Do not randomly add anything extra for roamers possibly on map. Just facts, lets start with solid facts. I’m sure we could break the 100 mark.

Let’s broaden that … 60-133 … Until we can prove wrong or narrow that…

Let’s see if any server can get more than 60 people on a map and start from there. – Primetime will be filled with players who do not answer, so its not ideal, but if at anytime someone can get more than 60 – why not report it back here?

Just do a supply info with more than 60 and load it here. I believe its much higher closer to 133.

Simple solution. If server ‘1’ has bloodlust, “Disconnections from server ‘2’, or ‘3’ while the player is in downed” = +1 point to server ‘1’ if they last damage in combat log

No avoiding it. And it covers those who accidentally disconnect while randomly running.

And those who accidentally disconnect while you were downed and your friends would have res’d you, are the very rare minority. Not worth complaining about. Simple fix.

Well folks come on now – reset is looming, leagues are pending – what match up has the man power to test in a coordinated effort?
Do we have any fellow DragonBrand players and SoS? We could arrange a thursday night test when your prime picks up.

Because they are shared across all three servers.

in all honesty, I thought Mike released the numbers months ago and it was something like 180/3

Re-posting.

I can’t remember if it was Mike who mentioned it many moons ago or someone else. But almost certain it was Mike.

No definitive answers on how the mechanics work to queue, or how that works in comparison to other servers in match. For example, is outmanned/outnumbered based on 1/2 … 1/3 or 1/4 of the opponents pop, is based compared versus the highest pop server only?

Pretty sure we did a test with this half a year ago when orbs got kicked out. And this came up also when we, the community were asking about siege caps (how many pieces, how its determined when we can cannot place proximity) All apart of the saem time period these discussions were previously talked about. We did get a number … i jsut can’t remember if it was ‘official on forums’ or in-game from a dev.

I feel like Mike F posted it somewhere though long ago. Was it 133 per map ?

======
It’s 166 people per side per map max. 2000 in total in the entire WvW land.
======

Come on Devon. You have to be laughing, I know this information has been posted long ago somewhere and there was an indirect response but it was affirming more than ‘x’ We are not winning the race to find the source though.

Keep looking folks its somewhere. Our old GL knew it, alongside other internal information. Zerg the www and find it

Hopefully someone with more hard drive space can upload other rounds. You also get to hear me call/verify pacify very loudly at the end so enjoy.

Wow, very much could have gone to ARK there, at 1:18 your entire party almost got wiped, and sat at less than 10% for 10 seconds. Then again at 3:20ish

Good job both ARK and RET in that battle.

It has been a decent weeks fighting, some good fights and some honorable opponents.

Loved the small team of golems last night.

Keep bringing the fun all

Yeah it was a blast walking them around. No mesmer, no nothing, just each party member in an Omega. Major props to the guys who came to hills and garrison to try to make a stand. Kinda felt like a David and Goliath scenario, but credit where credit is due, and those guys get purple hearts for SoS this week.

deathTouch.9706:

I think some clans started to get a taste of gold and thought it wouldn’t be as easy as they thought compared to when they were facing mid silver opponents.

I mean we already know most people on SBI don’t really have any loyalty to the server, and SBI as a community obviously doesn’t really care either. They’ve been trying for months to recall clans that originally bandwagoned off to other servers during SBI’s first major exodus. Talk about whoring yourself out for short-term PPT.

Now SBI has a bunch of clans that can’t come close to pulling their weight and are hitting a brick wall of skill in the form of FA and Mag despite their superior numbers. They’ll jump ship soon enough.

Biggest difference between Mag and SBI: If a clan leaves Mag to bandwagon onto another server we’ll tell them to stay the hell off Mag. If a clan leave SBI to bandwagon onto another server, they’ll pay for your transfer back.

Well – i never thought to say that – but I agree with you, at least in part. It is indeed the biggest difference between Mag and SBI – we care about our people. Several guilds left at the exodus, because they wanted something more and better – talking about guilds that were there at the founding of the server, people of high quality and good friends.

Guess what – we don’t hate them. At least I don’t – some others might but it’s not because we lost rank and ppt – it’s because we lost important people.

Yes – I would welcome them anytime back, even if it’s just guesting for some PvE events. They actually did that and it was tons of fun.

Maguma sees those as bandwagoners and deserters. We see them as SBI alumni, “raised and trained on SBI” – that’s from one’s signature.

I guess it’s a matter of age – when you’ll be old enough to have a family and significant people around you, you’ll understand what I mean. Meanwhile carry on, being a teenager and having extreme opinions is only natural.

I was interested in SBI for a couple sole reasons…

All of them stop playing GW2, and the others moved away from SBI. All of the reasons were from GW1 original people. None exist any longer. I checked out the PvE … and it was me + 1 person at 9pm server time two nights ago. Then there was me + 15 orso fighting shaterrer. I scratch my heads and wonder where your PvE players PvE?

I get you have a strong WvW, but the rest (and the above) is a silly sappy way of a long lost love story. Or Nostalgia of a past time? I read it as a passive recruitment thread (ooo mags we better than you because you don’t like yours, but we cherish ours let our love go and it will come flying back). I don’t know, maybe it’s just me – but my 34 year old mind does not compute. Hold on let me ask my wife what she thinks, maybe its a gender thing?

“Boys kitten ing on walls, is that your server honey” … oh and she laughed at the little comic above too …

If SBI roll Snake eyes, even if they get stomped there poised to gain large points. The gap is huge it would almost elevate them without them even showing up.

FA took the proper course of action early on enough to make a solid effort to remain in silver. This is all subject to who shows up on that reset board vs those 4.

Mags / SBI I believe are the final straws, with likely SoS – best guess. I’m actually very interested in this Friday’s draw, and the following outcome of it.

I have no idea why, but I have a feeling we (TC) will draw SBI and Mags which pretty much would elevate both Mags and SBI even if they never showed up at all.

…. Then again if SoS and FA were in Gold, I could see Mags in it to gain alot of guilds.

TC fine, we’re out to have fun, no sense playing the game any other way.

Dear SOS,

You’re not getting Durios back!

Warm regards,

TC

We ported over from SoSBL later in the evening and we had a facepalm moment when we saw that you had Durios with walls, gate, and even cannons. We still flipped it, but it’s just another reminder that we got to work with our PuG commanders a lot more.
We have some folks that think VoiP is the cursed black arts or something.

Small correction,only person on SoS highly “against” ts3 etcetcetc is me because people tend to cling to commander to tell them what to do and they dont use theyr own brain.
The rest are just lazy,heck they dont even use text.
.

Yes, because it’s so much better to have the people who don’t use their brains waiting for people to type out directions.

Andrew Clear.1750:

….

I’m sorry, but I have been on TS this week, and I can tell you that the guilds that transfered in are having fun in this matchup, even on Monday when MAG was killin us in NA Primetime.

The core sbi, pre transfer peeps, aren’t going to go anywhere. We love our sever, and have been with it even during our drop from tier 1 in Jan til now. Why do you think we would leave cause of getting rolled? Mag used to roll us every week earlier this year, and we didn’t care. We had fun, and tried our best.

We didn’t transfer after we took on DB during the summer, and got utterly spanked by them.

We didn’t transfer after those arrowcart lovin BP folks kept beating us.

We won’t transfer after JQ beats us either…..But it will be fun to run around and say “JQ spy” all the time, like the old days

Core will remain, generally always does until it’s either move or leave game.

Transfers are having fun this week because you are still winning. The honeymoon phase only lasts for so long, its always the same story, server gets trashed talked climbing the ranks … server feels pride and compliments, server still hasn’t lost but feels it can compete with t1, server overlooks just how big the gap is between a server like Mags and FA and a server like TC … and then the next gap between TC and t1 (both gaps are enormous). You won’t realize it, until you hit it, and until you feel it (I wont say lose). Then you’ll tire and weaken. The only wildcard though is … next week.

As its the final week, there are people who (although they won’t openly say it) are there because they believed they would get a silver yak. You may very well end in silver, but it’s looking likely you might end in gold. Next week is a big wildcard.

If you get pushed up enough to gold, and face a t1 server. While it will start out as fun, and you’ll feel proud for competing, you’ll notice just how much tiring it will be. And running like that for months on end does impact people in a very real life way. The attitudes and moods go south fast. If your in a battle where you almost always get crushed, it will get deflating no matter how positive and optimistic you are.

What I’m saying though, is while you may be all gung hoe, soldier boy next to ya has his own agenda’s. And SBI may be very close to hitting a very tough road. So long as ‘no one’ leaves … I would suspect you could give SoS a run for there money. If you hit a tough patch and people move to position themselves, it won’t be an enjoyable 2 months for non core players, and core players will tire. I wouldn’t want that to happen to any server, it has happened to many others.

Best of luck though, this upcoming week will be anything short of interesting.

Gab Superstar.4059:

For some reason this thread remind me of people who used to

/emote You have been marked as AFK. Type /AFK to stay in this Battleground.

In WoW. Good times…

That is what players should be able to trigger.

If someone is a spawn, we should have option to trigger the countdown – you have been flagged. 5 min countdown begins. We could continually kick your kitten afk butts out.

deathTouch.9706:

Number of kills/effort approaches infinity with this matchup as a roamer. A few FA roaming guilds are decent but SBI has none whatsoever so anyone not in an 80 man zerg is a free bag.

It was kinda funny watching SBI sit with a 50 man zerg outside of FA spawn on SBI BL last night. I’d like to see that go over in T1 or T1.5

I’d like to start bets on when SBI implodes. I’m going with a solid 4 weeks until people realize they’re stagnant and transfer to a T1 server.

I’ll take that bet, and give it sooner timeline. If they look to be crossing into gold, I’d expect a mass exodus, I don’t believe SBI actually want it. I believe they have hopes and dreams but reality is much different. I have a feeling its already kicking in some, but the core guys will ride it to the end. The end would be when they face another server with 24hour coverage, strong EU and SEA. Hmmm … not sure who that could be (twiddles thumbs and whistles rolling eyes)

I’ll place an omega on it, my bet is there will be many moving to t1 servers sooner. The Alliance groups will stick it out though, just the fairweathers who will realize where they stand closign in next week will move.

Seems like some posters in here miss our TC omegas, so count me in for 1 omega.
I bet death from FA right? One omega that SBI will creep into 6th and lose a bunch of guilds, minus what’s the core few BAEST, BAGS, Abys (from Darkhaven, you newer, I don’t remember Abys – I’m old Rethesis)?

We’ll train that kitten ed Warg if we got nothing else to train with our golems.

Gravy.7589:

Troll Bait!!

“If SBI make it into gold league, they will implode as a server in a manner of weeks.

If they can’t break away from Mag this week even though they have a not-insignificant coverage advantage they will get spawnlocked by TC, let alone T1. Then the mass exodus will begin.

Apparently some SBI clans are saying people are transferring off the server already because of a “difficult” match this week. Really? Transferring off because the match is TOO balanced for you?"

Whoa whoa whoa sir, we on TC won’t spawn camp. We’ll hide around the corner and wait hoping you don’t see us. Not visibly camping at all. Only a few caught in the moment spawn camp and are usually left for some free kills to said camped server. We have no need to camp, there’s plenty of other fun things to do when your in your locked zones. Like tea parties, and farming t6 blood, or hell why not go resource noding, candy corn is right around the corner.

What the hell is with all this megablob talk, what of our 4 man omega party? I like the one determined SoS asuran who kept showing up at hills, then garri <3

CnB finally caught us at NW tower, but that one asuran deserves alot of credit for sticking it out

So. Much. fun.

PS I wanted to duel in one earlier that night fyi. I would have sent you a print if I could

Oh yeah in EB that was also us at your keep wall DB before we went to SoS. So. Much. Fun. We could maybe do a golem GvG – just think no banners

Khalic.3561:

1. GvG is not WvW. It takes place in WvW for the time being, and that’s fine. However, there is no reason to specifically alter what really is a separate gamemode in order to accommodate it. The fact that they might do so with an arena in the obsidian sanctum is encouraging however.

2. Personally I think it’s ridiculous for anyone to think that ANet has this vendetta against the gamemode that they themselves created. I believe it will be implemented eventually, but as it’s own separate entity.

….

3. Try to remember that we are getting changes. WvW is getting some attention here and it will be best for everyone if we try to work with the devs rather than against them.

Sorry had to chop it to format for ease.

1. It’s always good to have these supportive threads we generally have been having every week for the past half year about GvG’s. It’s really something that, while being a percentage to Anet, is actually sought after and can help there company grow. they likely have some technical difficulties with the things which would be player controlled versus pre packaged. Guild halls comes to mind. Presently Anet has the ability to grow and shrink there arena’s based on certain factors. Guild halls opens so many more instances which are not really dynamic, and come with a cost over time. Times have changed though. And i think there are a number of options on the table to help with the cost. It’s the development and implementation which need to occur.

2. No one directly believes that, it’s just people expressing feelings on forums. If i invented the wheel, then decided to go swimming, but you all want wheels for your cars, meanwhile I’m telling you to get in the pool the water is warm… it still doesn’t help that you don’t have a wheel for your car, no matter how nice the water is.

3. Full support this. WvW is getting attention, cool. We don’t actually work with the devs, we write on the forums where devs browse and cautiously answer. For the most part they are working hard, and likely playing there games of choice, including guildwars 2, or hell maybe even guildwars 1. Maybe even GvG’ing in GW1. … Nah to come to think of it, they likely are not doing the latter.

Suggestions to Devon, talk with the team to make some sort of write up about the future if any of GvG. Even if its not what we want to hear. Players want to hear something, or go find another game that offers that mode.

Then we can differentiate WvW and GvG and sPvP. Read the sig, bring in some game modes… and slap it together in abox, coupled with the content of the surrounding ‘closed off maps’. Expansion.

Love the progress updates the game is getting … but really want to know how WvW servers can be equally graded when it’s (for example)

JQ vs SoS vs SoR (really SoS not having any shot in this, or can you explain how that server has a valid shot at winning versus 24/7 coverage?)

I am a 100% warrior player and to be honest, I wouldn’t shed a tear if banner got removed from the game. I think it takes out some of the fun from GvGs. Just look at the banner spam at the end, I counted up to 9 banners on the field in just a 20vs20.

/signed. As a Warrior I feel I should have more than some silly AoE res skill as my elite.

Okay everyone line up, press 1 fast (apm ftw), okay … oh-oh oh oh oh-oh-oh stop banner time (mc hammer sequel?)

Wow, Sounds fun.

Solo buff, or godzilla style?

Don’t forget at one point your were a green name dead on the ground. They will grow too, I’ve been monitoring some of the forums (lurking so to speak) of heavy pop pve guilds that are really starting to show up, guilds with a few hundred members + that all have flashy legendaries and such. Are now getting the hook into the WvW.

It will take time, took me time to ‘get it’ why my zerker gear was not good enough on my war.

I actually find it funny, learning curve for me was … Zerker gear to PVT gear then to Happy Medium of both statistically for my hammer build.

My Necro on the other hand, well … nuts to the rest of you, its rabid all the way.

I’m glad to say that I never was a zerkergear rallybot; though the number of things I didn’t figure out for the longest time is embarrassing.

Also Rabid gear!? I thought Dire was the new necro meta? (I don’t have a clue, I have a lvl 21 necro that I never play)

I’m not paying for the changes, I’ll just get the trinks. I seem to be doing alright with it still and don’t really need vitality (already have 2 life pools)

A confession: When I first started in beta, I was in a large group who was continually trying to take north west tower must have been 2 hours straight … I thought the arrows we actually rain, that’s when I learned about Siege, the hard way.

There’s really no need to hide a skill-less bar

It’s actually an old screentshot I posted somewhere on the forum. We were all from small guilds then, and there were and are so many elite players (or simply forum trolls) out there hunting for us for some easy bags.

Here, the camp guild claimer sent this along on his twitter with a note’ zomg, the bears are secretly … ’

What server / tier did this happen on OP?

Just curious to help paint the picture.

Friday night and Saturday morning was such a tease in this match, it looked for a brief few hours that maybe TC’s numbers had left the stratosphere. Instead they only lost some nighttime folks, which is the one time zone no one (other than the T1 guys who bribed them off) really wanted TC to lose.

At least we can just go for good fights and will have the Dolyak Parade (either participate or run training…maybe both; can’t decide).

We only lost WvW when it comes to “night time”. ZN was a dedicated NA timezone guild.

Knowing the original ZN crew I’m sure their contributions are missed, but it really hasn’t made any dent in how this match is playing out.
TC is at the point where they will not feel any deficiency in NA unless facing T1. In all honesty I think their NA vs JQ is only lacking in their PuG to hardcore ratio.

Basically. We have the population to compete, maybe even dominate, NA time zone against T1 servers. We just have FAR too many casual players and PvErs that come in in zerker gear and basically contribute little to the effort as a whole. More times than I can count in clashes all the gold names make it out alive and 5-6 green names (pve guild tags) are always left dead on the ground.

True, I did notice the DB crew was literally knocking on there garri door while we were capping from SoS two nights ago. I had a moment there where I was like – god kitten son, they moving fast.

Keep the circle going.
