I can’t believe we just held Overlook for about an hour with 10 people
Welcome back HoD, long time no see. Let’s hope this match is way more even than the SF match. Looking forward to see what GoM brings to the battle as well.
Yes….that name is real, we are at ET looking for members for WvW and all that jive the others say. If this gets read, you’ll get to become an officer
I don’t know about you guys on HoD, but for me on ET, I’ve been craving for a good match up against you guys. I really want to see our “dead” servers go at after months of falling down to a good tier. Looking forward to a time where we see how you guys bring what you learnt from being outnumbered to even ground
So I log in a couple of hours ago to see a big Anvil zerg in ET borderlands. I’m hoping that was the organized side that thought we needed pity, some really epic fights for ET garrison, hope we showed you what ET is really like.
PS, for the love of God, please stop placing trebs right in the field, I cringe when that happens
With this build, I like to just go right into a bunch of enemies and use a bunch of CC to toss them around. Since I feel like I get adrenaline really fast, I can literally just spam the F1 on hammer to stun them and if they run away, use my GS for the mobility to pick off stragglers. One of the jewels is switched with the one from the karka event. The GS is power, prec. and crit chance while I’m either leaning to Power, Prec, Tough or power, vit, and tough of either exists for a hammer.
I really find this build great for sustain damage, CC, and survivability, if I need to switch to range, I usually prefer LB and I can just switch to the 1200 range trait out of combat. Any thoughts on it?
Edit* going for all knights armor

Not empty threats….just didn’t have people on at 2am EST. We gave you an inch and you took a mile. You don’t have “classy” players on your server and it’s fairly obvious. A lot of AR people felt that “attacking” the little guy wasn’t the best of things to do because we have other areas that garner more of a fight than you little ET guys do. Maybe it’s just your night crew that doesn’t have respect or your filled with a bunch of little kiddies, either way….respect was attempting to be shown towards your lacking WvW population. But even though there were 25 of you guys last night, maybe a little less, maybe a little more….you guys died more than enough to make due on the promise. How long did it take a 20 man squad to take one little tower from 3 people? About 20 mins…..
That’s strange cause on Saturday, both Anvil and GOM hit the 2 side keeps at the same time and even with our spread out force, we managed to push both of you back and retoke our BL. Stop getting on your high horse and think we need pity, its impossible to demoralize ET ever since we had to tough it out during the dropping of tiers. Pick up your swords and lets see what you are really are made of.
Funny, I’ve seen mostly alliance guilds on ET’s borderlands taking their stuff….just saying. Personally though, my guild’s been told to stay off ET for taking stuff….but any of you ET guys attack an EOH tag and they’ll return fire.
Save your threats.
if we see any red names running around in our ET BL, we will open fire.
I remember seeing EOH, love their empty threats as ET just steamrolled you guys earlier
I find my hammer works great on necros, get them down lo low HP, they pop their death shroud to try to stay alive. I just stun them, use knockbacks and knockdowns, by that time my F1 skill is recharged, rinse and repeat until dead
That’s cause you’re a thief Chody, nobody sees a thief for less than a second
I’ve gone through and read some of your posts. You are a gentlemen’s gentleman and I would like to shake your hand. Seems it really takes a rare kind of person to come in from the dominating team and respectfully acknowledge those opposing them.
You’re very kind. There really is a lot of unnecessary negativity on the boards. /begin internet soapbox It’s up to all of us to make the community what we would like it to be, that includes being understanding to our fellow players on our own servers and being courteous to our fellow players on other servers. This means even cutting everyone, especially folks who may be a bit angry or frustrated (or folks on your own server who are new and need some guidance), a lot of slack. /end internet soapbox
I wish I knew players names on the opposing server so I could call out specific good play, but I have to give props to some very good folks on ET. I’m not sure who the large Nord is on your side with the two hand sword who is always smacking me, but he is terrific and a great point-guy (I assume he is leading groups). The rushes out of the tower to destroy siege engines are really great to watch. There are also a few good thieves out there harassing supply lines and taking out back objectives like pro’s.
I don’t want to leave HoD out. Henge has quite a few good roaming groups, and executes quick strikes on objectives really well.
Which norn are you talking about? Is it the guardian that has a CoF helm or a warrior with no helm showing that switches from greatsword to hammer to stun a bunch of you. the guardian is a commander and the warrior is me
We on ET would like to thank SF for some awesome field battles, a lot of our players have stated their slayer achievement counts are skyrocketing. I would also like to thank you guys for teaching us the value of siege at stopping giant zerg and allowing us to receive 100 badges of honor. Again, thanks SF, hats off to you, good luck on your world record.
Good Job SF, too bad score has nothing to do with skill.
I just wish us and HoD could just share all the stories of being outnumbered but still able to push them back, those fight are some of the best fights I’ve ever had. Also toke SF about 2-3 hours just to take Cliffside last night. I put so much siege around it that they were forced to treb it from our garrison. We knew the wall wouldn’t last and that we couldn’t destroy the trebs so I just put more siege down. The wall went down, they were probably expecting to walk in and then BOOM, I think it was about 7 arrow carts, 3 balistas, and 2 catapults zeroed in on the destoyed wall along with some on foot and it was a slaughter for a while. Some of us ran supply and kept the wall up to take a treb round or 2 and the cycle kept happening for an hour. Some of us were saying it was like in Kingdom of Heaven when the wall went down. Toke SF to gather a ridiculous amount of numbers and just stormed the place. Fun fight
Very fun fight in ET borderlands that just ended about a half hour ago. 3 hours of back and forth between Cliffside and our Garrison that NSP held, noticed SF took a good portion of their map and we finally took our garrison, I think I threw down about 3 golds worth of siege at cliff
If anybody has played the game SupCom FA and knows what a point defense (PD) creep is, you should already know what this concept is. For those who don’t in, in the RTS game Supcom, you could build PD to help provide an areal denial and the tactic was to keep building PD as far as you can into the enemy’s base. I was wondering if this was viable at all in WvW. During those fights where it is back and forth between a keep and tower when the people in the tower are trying to assault, the whole back and forth attacks can ruin the momentum. So in my theory, how is good is it to build things like ballistas and arrow carts to keep the enemy at bay and keep creeping seige up until you can pin the enemy onto the keep walls and set up seige to even keep them away from there. Do tactics like this ever get used or are they just not viable?
@ bones
I hope you aren’t taking anything as disrespect to what I’m am saying and am not too sure on ET in the past. From what I do know, ET was a T1 server and sometimes would shift down to T2 every once in a while and a medium pop server to boot. I got GW2 a month after release and remember that there was a 2 hour queue almost every time even during the week. A while ago, we had big guilds like RUIN and TL jump servers around the same time, so even more people followed them out. We are in the same boat as HoD but like I said, some of us stayed and are still kicking.
I should probably rephrase myself and not call it an exploit, what I am getting at is that if somebody comes up, taps a guard to contest the WP, runs and hides and waits for the 3 min timer and just keep doing it again as more of a “cheap” tactic. In my opinion, if you aren’t actually hitting the Keep with a WP, it shouldn’t have a timer where you can’t use the WP unless the keep is actually getting hit and not due to the timer.
Yea, my server (Eredon Terrace) got hit with the mass exodus, a lot of us are still playing and are slowly starting to get ourselves together. It sucked in the beginning but the people who stayed are still there and kicking
Stay on your server.
Reach down like you got a pair and go screaming into battle.
Agreed
If anybody says something about transferring on my server, a lot of us lose almost all respect for you.
Yeah, you downed me, but I went into vengance
That was you, probably don’t remember but when you were attacking ET, I was the Norn greatsword war trying to get in your face. Was a fun battle.
Who is the charr hammer warrior/guardian Mag commander wearing a CoF helm?
Someone clarify for me how sitting in the water not even touching garrison to contest it a tactic?
Ima gunna get you one day Cain, some nice fights last night, love fighting this new KISS guild you guys got.
Yesterday when I was fighting our borderlands, we had our garrison upgraded to have WP for ease of access. All of a sudden, our garrison was contested and we searched our gates to see if it was under attack. Nobody was around the gates so we kept searching, the quaggan camp near us was ours so we knew it wasn’t the quags attacking. I looked around the cove near the water gate an found a single thief hiding under a rock near our keep preventing us from spawning there and they just kept doing this while never even engaging the keep. I can understand using valid tactics like small groups ambushing people to cut off reinforcements from somewhere or having a small group use feint attacks to keep garrison busy. However, I just don’t see it valid for a thief or mesmer (that was the classes they were using, I’m not looking to start another one of those QQ threads) just sitting there until somebody found them, go stealth, and just sit in a radius that was probably coded to contest and area even when nothing is really happening. Does this strike anybody else as an exploit?
I’m talking more recently, we’ve gotten more numbers since the match against YB and FA, those two matches we were severely outnumbered.
After we got hit with the server hopping, we did lose a lot of numbers and still have low numbers but we’ve been starting to rally some of us in our own borderlands. Every topic of a match we have been on, people always say they have never seen us or we don’t put up a fight. In our borderlands, however, we’ve broken through zergs of bigger numbers and reclaim our entire map almost every day. I’m just looking for opinions, especially those who have fought us.
Oh you guys are such silly poos saying ET is out of the picture, come to our borderlands. Stay, eat, be well while we keep pushing killing everything that touches our borderlands outnumbered.
I think last night at godsword and other battles in ET BL proved that we in ET shouldn’t be underestimated. Even though we don’t have presence everywhere, in the areas we do, we work pretty well as a team. The lower numbers seems to actually help us in communication so that there isn’t much breakdown in the chain of command. We do fairly well outnumbered until when one of the servers get pushed off our map and it becomes a 1v1 and outnumbered 3:1 where we get hit everywhere.
Maybe what they should do is keep the 7 day transfer but cannot participate in WvW for 7 days if you go to a lower end server or something like 14 days no participation in WvW of you go to a server of equal or higher rank then the one you were on so you don’t hurt PVE players who look to find a server were an event like the temple of Baltazher isn’t bugged out
Thanks for all the badges at Godswords last night FOO
Haven’t seen the effect but if it’s anything like that raven attack when fighing the mad king “dungeon” in Lion’s Arch, It’s pretty much a copy/paste of a ranger’s warhorn skill where a bunch of birds eat the enemy’s face off with different color textures.
More of a rough idea but maybe lets say a server is dominating by a certain percentage/ also by how fast they are dominating, Some meta event triggers that can help the other teams catch up. An idea would be like “centaurs have invaded our supply camp” and need to be fended off to something as extreme as “Jormag has attacked our keep” (again, a loose idea but it scales pending on the gap between scores) Make it so it can’t be ignored or steamrolled yet isn’t too OP, just something to give more balance and at the same time makes the game more fun with even more chaos happening.
Are you reading my mind or something
There’s probably been a bunch of threads on this but I too lazy. In some matches like on my server, we can barely get a full army just within our borderlands let alone the all 4 maps.. For a while now, my server has this appeared right when a new match up starts when everywhere is supposed to be full. So guess what happens during the first 15 mins. We get steamrolled by one of the servers who take our orb. So now they out number us and get a nice little boost in stats while we get a buff that increases magic find and some extra karma. This doesn’t seem very balanced now, does it? I mean, can’t we get something that is actually useful in these situations instead of a better chance to get if you can live long enough out of your spawn

Currently running a very small guild (2 members) called BallsMclong [BMC] trying to help rebuild our server for WVW. ET is our home and we stay there. Low level or high level, it doesn’t matter, We’ll help get you up to speed. Out goal is to clog our WvW servers and bring back the queue. Looking for people willing to be active in WvW and PVE stuff to prep for matches. My 2 character names are Faforever and Mclovinballs. The only thing that we demand from members is to not whine and just play the game.
