As my favorite day of the week approaches I feel the need to share this:
Cool vid, and looks like you’ve stopped clicking for the most part.
Ya. I have. my guys gave me too much kitten.
As my favorite day of the week approaches I feel the need to share this:
Our zerg-balls have learned how not to die, mostly. After countless times saying “get on your commander or die alone”, they’re finally starting to pick up on it when we run into a WM, VK, BT, Meow or RET ball and are stacking up nice and tight.
In addition to that, CERN had over 100 people in our mumble channel the other night when we were defending KN garrison; that has to help, too.
Good to see man.
I look forward to every time we come across CERN out there. Fun fights
The lame thing about alaric being in another guild is that I have to do double duty on video production.
[RET] presents: Arrow Carts are Stupid and OP
With great power comes great responsibility.
That or you just drink a lot and video edit at that point
It seems AoN has rubbed off on the rest of FA everyone running when they see a TC name.
Because it makes sense to take 19 on 60+ right?
You want a fight. Sure 20v20 with any of the guilds. We are always more than happy to do something like that.
Great fights all night VK an FA!~ Never had so much fun fighting for KN’s garrison for so long~ You did a great job at contesting it for so long too KN, made it really hard for both us an FA^ – ^.
Oh snap, random Lumpkins sighting. Shout out to the guy who taught me EB jumping puzzle. Small world.
That was pretty much the best part of the reset. 2+ hours of fighting non-stop with the ring up nearly the entire time.
p.s we did not leave KNBL early. I beleive we pull out of there at midnight. FABL was looking rough so we had to move
Anyways good reset.
Also, mad props to VK and alaric, your grouping for water blasts is INSANELY tight. Well done, really good coordination. Shame you didn’t keep fighting in that one where you started losing people fast (round 3) – you’ll note we always fought to the last?
Okay drop all the kittening bull kitten chest thumping. kitten off already with it.
CERN. We had even numbers, you got an idea of how we play there, we took that fight on literally 1 minute notice. We switched players out becuase OTHER PEOPLE WANTED TO FIGHT TOO! For the most part we simply took 1 guard out for another. Or something of that nature. Its actually pretty common in GvG to change people out . We have an 80 man guild. we ALL LOVE this kind of stuff. I’m never going to tell one of my guys ‘nope sorry you can’t fight, its these 15 the entire time’
Come on dude. really
Anyways,
fighting to the last is not something you typically do. Normally when its well and done, you just say gg let the guys rez and reset. I respect the fact that you want to fight to the last, but its not wvw. Its gvg in wvw if that makes sense lol.
Thank you for the comments. We work ALOT on stuff of that nature.
We will always take any fight any time any day. You want one. You know where to come.
Also 15v15 is so strange. It was actually kind of hard to do. Fun but different.
Keep it up CERN. You guys are fun. Stay classy my friends.
Heres the link to the video if people are wondering what the kitty cat we are talking about:
Nothing has changed with FA.
Oh except the fact that TC got 2 of our guilds last week.
1 of our 50 man guilds came back from t8 vacation, and other than that, nothings new. We just are out for blood any way we can get it. Points do.not.matter.
All we want is death and destruction.
Some how we get points doing this.
You want a server that is filled with killers this is the place.
Whale hunting is what we do best.
You want great fights every moment of the day fear not. TC won’t stop throwing bodies at you. Kn has a strong SEA/EU time slot so you are bound to be out numbered but not out gunned. Stock up on merchants before entering the field. You’ll need them
This kind of stuff occurs pretty much every minute of the day.
whale hunting has never been so fun.
What we got up to in EB after my guys got bored of feebly trying to get bay for the last couple hours in FABL.
[DIS] had a lot of fun on FA BL tonight! We’ve had our sights set on garrison all night and I’m not goin’ to bed until it’s ours!
And how did that work out for you guys
VK was not logging off until we had WP up in our keep and cleared our BL.
That was some great fun fighting all of you guys.
Let’s party in QL TC
We jumped in on your ‘party’ We couldn’t help ourselves, boy was that the wildest fight I’ve ever been part of.
So I try and get something fun going here and kitten forum star of the year gets all boisterous and numbers.
Well.
For those who like having fun IN game. Pm me. Let’s kill each other in a 20v20 setting.
All forum warring aside, CERN <3 you guys for putting this ridiculous kitten measuring forum contest aside. Coming out and laying down some law.
Well. Weeks done. We will be at the south camp looking to 20v20 whatever guilds decide to come by
Come join us. We can drop some magic find and farm each other.
Pm me in game around 5pm cst. I should be on. Or pm stawker.
Hey CERN. Thanks for letting us in on the GvG
Anyways,
SORRY FOR THE WALL OF TEXT.
Just felt if 1/3 of this thread is going to have next to know actual facts and make baseless statements about what we do and think, than I should probably clear it up.
I have had great fun in T8.
FoE im still around till friday. PM me in game, If I got anyone around, im going to try and harass you guys, or try and entice you to harass me :P
I am an avid reader of the forums. Specifically ones that include WvWvW between our servers: Sorrows Furnace, Eredon Terrace, and Ferguson’s Crossing.
Note: I am on the Sorrows Furnace server.
First off, I want to thank you and all your guild-mates for coming down to Tier 8. It brought a lot of fun as well as serving as an eye-opener for our guild. A lot of people have been rallied up from the dead and back onto the fields and VK and the other T1/T2 guilds also.
Secondly, I was not there at the time of your (or guilds) recent video posted (Referring to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqIEKDwqJbM). I am in the guild PVP where you had two considerable wins against us. Even though PVP is not held to the highest regards even hated by some. It is a fun place and a fun community that I’ve called home. Some people call us a mindless zerg that’s useless in a small group, others say we are just a group of “uplevels” that piggy-backs on other guilds. Our commanders get yelled at in map chat whenever they talk, get nasty whispers, yet they take it. The members are also hated to some point and the only way that we can make the server respect us and our commanders is to improve and become a force.
You have opened our eyes to new tactics, the importance of combo fields, as well as many other things and we are currently practicing these tactics. Now, for the reason of this message, you have fought our guild 3 times I believe and won twice with a small number of people. How should we go about improving? We are working on being less spread apart, combo fields, and becoming less glassy. Anything that you’ve noticed, small or big that should be worked upon would be graciously taken.
Thanks for your time,
I didn’t post my reply to this as I think it was posted on your guilds forum.
Now as for this ridiculous notion of coming here to stroke our egos. Kitten off.
We came here because we had been burning out a bit. We had so many weeks of PPT,PPT,PPT, GOTTA BEAT TC!
So a break was needed. Than we split from RET, so again it made sense to come to T8 and hammer some basic fundamentals out here, not at all worry about PPT and just generally enjoy roaming around trying to pick fights/ trying to help whoever wanted some suggestions.
Don’t base all your opinions of my guild on the posts of 1 or 2 VK. Everyone has their opinion and im not a dictator so if someone in my guild wants to say something, they do it.
also we took up 27 spots. For 1.5 weeks.
27.
I also asked the server if they wanted to have us before we even made the decision to transfer. It was a resounding YES. So really SF, what business is it of yours on that?
I have done nothing but try and help ANYONE who asked for it. This is met with trolling from SF. Nice. I have also asked people on this server for help of my own, they were more than willing to offer it.
By the way PvP. If you are wondering where your strategies are coming from as of late…heres a post that was sent to me by one of your officers, despite the trolling, I still sent a very long reply giving whatever info I have freely. Why? because better opponents means better fights for my FC partners in crime (take it don’t take it, I merely mean to help):
Hello,
First off,
where the heck did you people get this idea that we are full of ourselves/ego driven/Elitest?
I just reviewed EVERY post we made, not once did we comment on our skills in GW2. Nor did I personally every say anything about being as good as AGG. get that out of your head right now.
VK is a NEW guild. We were formed literally tuesday of last week (the first video I posted was day 1 of this guild working together) We have no idea how we will fare in T2 to be honest. Yes most of us were in RET which was together for months in T2/3. But its still not the same. Getting to know a group of people all over again pretty much. A learning curve is bound to happen. The fact that we got the honor of fighting a guild as highly skilled as AGG before leaving this tier was a big bonus for us. Make no mistake about it. They are not a regular T1 guild. I have gone against BG/SOS/KN. AGG seemed a couple steps up on what we saw from those servers when we fought them. They took us apart. some might think that would hurt our egos/feelings. Wrong. in guild chat you would see people saying ‘Man I’m loving this, these guys are wild, I could do this all day’ despite the fact that they were essentially farming us. You learn WAY more in these type of losses than you do winning. They were a classy guild. I wish I could have stuck around with my guild and got a couple more shots at them. (and FoE)
Our final night as a guild in T8. Some of us will be here until friday morning, but lots will start the transfer process tonight. Thanks. Its been fun.
Good luck to AGG/FoE with building ET.
Ofcoarse good luck to FC. We will be cheering for you.
LOL..umm we have some of DRGN main commanders in VK…on this server right now. You should have said hello.
I don’t totally understand why everyone is not happy about being in T8 right now. From what I have seen you just got AGG,FOE and if rumors are true VOTF. FC is getting vastly better at open field/meta. So really, I mean, those guilds are really good. When we move back to T2 we won’t even get to see the likes of those there. AGG/FoE are classy guilds from my experience as well which makes the fights all the more enjoyable if you ask me.
You got a couple weeks of awsome fights ahead of you.
Mainly because these fights are few and far between, and there are many maps and many players that never encounter them. As great as the guilds may be, they can’t compensate for a server population disparity.
That being said, recently there has been much more to do than there was the previous weeks, and that much is appreciated.
edit: For us as Sorrow’s Furnace, it’s hard to encourage an improvement in server tactics when it’s not neccesary because you’re already winning by a large majority.
I’d say thats the perfect time to practice if you ask me.

oh. we will be fighting. Just pop orange swords. We are bound to show up if we are on the map. We usually run NA prime from about 6pm-11pmcst.
Just PM me in game sometime and tell me you are fighting endless waves of SF and we will come jump in, much like we did today
Sorry, I didn’t have the tower part on fraps…well okay I did, but I couldn’t post it due to some comments in the chat box and my absolutely kitten abilities to not understand video editing correctly. I wanted to have the video start and end with us getting wiped by FoE in the lords room. I hope my body dropped you nothing but useless spikes
Sorry, I had trouble counting who was FoE and who wasn’t. I ran up the ramp, saw nothing but FoE and was like ‘well. This is going to hurt.’
So much red tags. I got a video coming. you guys were wild with numbers. Both of you atleast from my PoV that is.
We will NOT be staying on FC. We have never been anything but up front about that. Came to have some fun. we have definitly had fun, but at some point the vacation must end, and back to 123254546 Pink zergs and 24351234123 WM zergs to wipe
the lag ah, the lag. I have not missed the.
We had fun harrassing you guys in EB today with our 15 man squad.
Are you talking bout next to Langor? Omg FoE was in there like, screw it, let VK kill SF when they are trying to push in. We just sat back and held the hole in the wall for about 30 minutes from the hordes of SF trying to cap it. Our scout was like “VK to the left, now right.. under the bridge… pushing into SF.”
You guys looked organized which is very nice to see across the firing lines. Major props for coming head-on into a 50v40 with considerable less numbers.
we had 15 with me that were VK. 1 that was MAV. I think that was about it. maybe 2-3 randoms that you guys just wasted right away :P
We tried to push into langor 2 times if you didn’t remember (I was a bit ambitious, fine I’ll admit it had no idea you had like 40-50 FoE just sitting in there., than the second time, well I figured why not try again) after realizing FoE was farming, we left you guys alone and hit anything that looked like it might drop us juicy loot. Was so fun.
We had fun harrassing you guys in EB today with our 15 man squad.
you were the kitten doing that lol!
we fight blueprints with blueprints.!
Thank you to AGG for the fights. Was eye opening. Clearly a difference between T1 and T2 guilds.
We will learn from this and come back ready to fight again soon. You always learn more losing than you do winning.
Also AGG did die. Just not to many of them.
That is one hell of a guild.
SF, was fun taking your garrison and fighting the endless waves of SF that kept coming in. I wish I did’nt have to eat, I could have done that for hours.
As Co-leader of VK and commander. I will tell you right now.
GvG 20v20 is what we live to do. So just pm me in game.
Fight the good fight stawker.
Outnumbered is what we do best
Woah. I merely said they seem to run a lot of glass and appear disorganized. I’m not an authority on this. It was 1 night experience with this tier.
ET you were no different. This tier is made of glass. It’s already been mentioned.
From what I’ve seen of all your servers (and I looked around before choosing one) FC had what I liked. Under dog. Community Ts3. Server forums. Forum posts about getting better. Will to do harm to others.
Anyways. I wasn’t picking on SF. He asked I answered. It was not a shot at their server. Just some criticism that would hopefully promote thought and discussion on ways to improve
You are all glassy forsure. FC/ET/SF.
This is easily changed. You could look into promoting more WvW oriented builds during guild meetings or on guild websites. That helps alot. Watch videos of high tiers play. That’s what I did personally to create a style of play unique to VK/RET.
Should you listen to me just cuz I come from T2? Kitten kaboodle no.
If you run against VK you will see the true power of the death star…I mean, of the WvW oriented builds/players. We literally do 0 PVE. Most of my guys have under 20% map completion. So if you like the way we play than sure. Take my advice. Kitten PM me in game and I’ll Shoot you my honest opinion on anything. I’m here to have fun.
Forum warriors you hit me for 11 billion damage. I have been killed.
Guild wars warriors. Keep up the good fight.
See you in battle. My body only drops spikes. Don’t kill me. It’s a waste of your time
VK is a drama free guild on and off the forums. I’m not getting dragged into this. I stated my honest opinion. If you choose to take the criticism and do something with it great. If not that’s no big deal.
VK will do what we do and leave in a week. We hope the fights will be many.
Ps. You only pulled pug commanders out of the group. I was the only VK commander. I only went down 1 time the entire night. That was in rouges when we charged 10 into 50 to make our final stand.
I rarely ever post videos with my own voice com in it. Numerous reasons why not. 1 being im kitten when it comes to video recording and rarely can figure it out.
So it sounds like nothings being said but as any of my guys can tell you, im usually yelling like 900 commands a second. They follow or we all die.
as far as SF is concerned. WAY to much glass. thats the glaring first thing we noticed. We melt you guys so fast its ridiculous. I am just going to assume its a lack of running toughness gear.
You also seem very scattered. Do you not have a community ts3 running? If you don’t, get one. its a MUST to have in higher tiers. I mean you seem to have the sheer numbers to be a couple tiers up, which is leaving me to think that the pvp skills/knowledge and communication must be the problem. Thats my honest opinion with only having played 1 night in wvw against you guys.
Improve alittle on any of that, you will move up. You got the numbers.
I have ATDI in another one of my videos as well
[VK]’s first time working as a unit since leaving [RET]
I personally won’t be here due to the holidays, I come back sunday. Stawker (Co-leader of VK) will be commanding on Reset with a full force of VK (about 30ish) destination unknown at this point, but normally we like to stay in our own BL for resets and let the endless hordes of enemies break upon our wills to dominate all living things :P
I wish I was here for the reset.
ET was out last night from what I saw, they had a 50 man zerg for a short time until they lost their Keep in EB that is.
Do all of [ret] plan to join VK?
I actually hope not. That’d be overkill.
No. We are a separate guild. We broke off from them when we made the move.
WE ARE NOT HERE TO STAY.
We are here until thursday of next week than we return to our home in Fort Aspenwood. We are simply here to take a ‘vacation’ from the insanity of T2. It was needed. T8 has so far been nothing but fun as hell.
We have about 50 members in VK right now, 30ish are in T8 as we speak. You only saw 17 last night and we were severely lacking some major class comp. I can’t wait to get all 30 in at one time.
Fun time running around with VK on EB. Learned a lot too.
Zergball + combo fields + taking advantage of both together simultaneously….Great tactic if you can maintain the ball and coordinate….
Nothing new to us (other than the machine like execution of VZ), many of us have saw the Youtube vids, or saw it on other tiers, VZ does it extremely well.
WZ (on FC) had been experimenting with it for weeks, their problem (that I saw) was they were trying it in open field situations, it seemingly works much better in a closed/controlled environment like VZ had last night in Jerris.
Haven’t faced this enough to know for sure, but my theory is that if you break the ball you break the group. Focus mesmer pulls, mass fears, (yeah I know 3-4 guardians/warriors could counter with stab., but there are counters to everything) separate those people(s) from combo fields and each other and thin the herd so to speak.
That is what we did last night, a few of us went and dropped CC’s and AOE on them in the tower to force their squishier ones out, and control when they were leaving rather than have them sit and dictate when they moved.
Seemed to work much better, and again have no idea the best way to attack this, but I feel as though we will have MUCH fun figuring it out lol
Its VK first of all
Secondly, Combo fields actually work best in the open field. If you were there fighting us later on, you must have saw us going 15v60 for over 5 minutes simply because we ALWAYS have ALL 15 guys RIGHT ON TOP of my tag. No matter what I do, they are with me, when we stop the fields go down, they are blasted 5-10 times within 3s and we are moving in 5s total again.
Its cute you guys think a zerg ball is 15-20 people
We do this with 100 RET (now VK) in a single ball with the same results.
Thank you guys for all the comments. Its been fun here so far.
Yarr? are they on either SF or ET?
if so im sure our guild leader would love to organize some GvG
hope you enjoyed our debut today. all of us at [VK] had a lot of fun.
If any guild out there wants to organize a 10v10,15v15, 20v20 or up. VK will take you up on that 100% of the time. It’s our passion. Its so much fun.
might be out of place here, but those of you that just saw VK join t8 and are already announcing they are the best thing since sliced bread. I’m going to have to say, from fighting Yarr for a long time now, I do think they’re the best small group out there… at least until I see otherwise.
just imo. but I have a lot of respect for them
Nor do we claim to be. Thank you for clearing that up.
In case you are wondering where we came from and what we do heres some vidoes for you guys:
Yes I know shameless self-promotion.
Enjoy:
Last reset in T2. Imagine the group we had tonight x 10 roaming as one ball.
The Reset before with full comms non-editted.
Guild vs Guild with our friendly rivals in T2 [RISE]
Anyways, thats what we have been up to before hitting T8.
We used to be RET, now we are VK
This was absolutely amazing. Outside ET Keep in EB…had a lot of fun today.
Here is a pic of SF trying to flank VK at Pang camp
How’d that work out for ya
VK is having an absolute blast in T8 so far. Ridiculously awsome going 15-20 v the world. We love it. I was alittle concerned we wouldn’t see numbers when we showed up. Well that concern is gone after we went around and kicked the hornets nest for a while.
If you pop orange swords, and VK is on, we are probably en route to you. Just saying. We love open field combat if you didn’t figure that out tonight
Thanks for the fights.
If ANY guild wants to do a GvG with us. 15v15 omg we would love that
We are a small guild right now. we only had 17 in WvW for those fights.
We will be non-stop harassing you SF people. We came to fight. You seem to roll the largest numbers
Oh hai, SF was nice introducing my guild to your server in EB tonight. Jerrifers was fun.
We have a way to get the commander buff on the bar, but not have it up. You people can’t focus me if the ENTIRE zerg has the tag buff on
Heading to T8 for a week. FC. Should be fun. Than back to FA under a new guild tag with a smaller more tight knit/hardcore group.
We won’t be able to deal with the mega ultra pink zerg anymore, but if you know me, you know im still going to hunt you can try none-the-less
Thanks. We will be back pouncing on you from hidden corners again soon. Just with a different tag and less numbers, but more hardcore
Always enjoy every time we see RISE in the field, we know a good fight is coming and fraps should be started.
Stawker. Guild founder, myself the primary commander of the main force, saradon warchild the financial backer/ personal body guard, are the 3 guild leaders that left. + 30 or so RET.
I indeed left this tier. I now play in FC T8 with 10 of the RET that followed. I’m only there for 1 week. I was just looking to mess around and have fun rolling a hammer train there
I will be back In 7 days. FA has been and always will be my home.
Our new guild is under the tag [VK]
I can’t stay away from T2 for long. Fighting RISE and being taunted by thier commander is just too fun.
RET will be fine. They still have 400 member base and 10 commanders.
