They’ll still be a lot better than any guild on SoR

You have just invalidated yourself beyond repair.

JQ garrison, bay, and hills are quite comfy.

I received an ascended ring from a rank 51 chest this week.

Lucky me?

It’s great that JQ were able to recruit some EU guilds. JQ having better coverage during EU prime time will mean more fights for us.

It should be clarified once and for all that IRON runs around 25-35 guild members at any time during prime time. HOWEVER, many Rallians find it in their interest to follow us even while we run untagged since we are the only true organized force during the time zone for our server. We ultimately cannot control the actions of others.

It’s not like I’ve been on SoR for just one week…

Referring to an organized guild session as a “raid” is pretty common for MMO’s. Yes, I use the term guild raid to specify when I run with my guild. 30-35 is our usual number, however we cannot completely control the amount of pugs that follow.

We surely hit everything we can and I can use all my skills while doing it, even against groups multiple times our size. If it’s due to some unique feature that the SoR server has, that is news to me.

Basically, you can control whether you participate in server blobbing. In my case, I actively try to avoid that.

The notion that T1 is a laggy blobfest is by people that are not in T1. Even though my internet connection is currently the lowest tier possible, I do not get lag in guild raids. However, if you have decided to complete fore go kittenat is fine. Feel free to send me a tell if you have any questions!

I boot all necros that try to run in my dungeon group. They just slow us down.

Hey TW you should sit down less then you might build up the chops to win a fight with less than 3.

I know the guy, he told me you were trying to snipe his doly! He also said you had a silly back stab that hit him for 900. I lol’d

It probably went something like this:

Asu: “I’m gonna kill ya!”
Random TW: “NOPE!”
Asu: strikes for 900 dmg
Random TW: “Told ya so!”

Generally, the best in GvG are the best in WvW.

Lose your GvG guilds, lose your highest contributing guilds.

Hi Ofthedivine,

While I don’t know of the circumstances in EU, you will surely be able to make an impact in NA. Sanctum of Rall is currently looking for more Asian and Oceanic players and would love to have you join us; your contribution would help even out the strengths of the other top servers, namely BG and JQ. SoR’s Asian and Oceanic guilds are awesome and you can definitely find a perfect fit among them.

Take a look at SoR’s recruitment thread for more information: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/recruitment/T1-SOR-Looking-For-Oceanic-Asian-WvWers/first#post2799193

You can find more specific information about our Asian and Oceanic guilds here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/recruitment/Meet-Sanctum-of-Rall-s-Army/first#post2673140

On a more relevant note, running with Aco’s 20 or so group against the horde of EP last night during late NA was so fun. Thanks to the mesmer from EP that we kept hunting down for continuing to show up.

Hello Aieo,

Thanks for your point of view.

Also Traejan, have you faced the JQ SEA 60-80man force hitting either BG or SOR nearly every SEA night since Jan/Feb 2013? That existed before either BG or SOR came up with the map blobs.

It’s equally hard, if not harder, to find TC roamers during the past few days as well. Half of them just run away when I wave, while the other half either die too soon or run into structures half-way through battle.

I guess roamers are now a rare species across all servers.

I blame the blob mentality SoR has:
1. Created in the T1 NA wvw meta game
2. Championed for more than half a year
..etc..

Fixed that for you..

Some people just want to see the world burn

ANet created the blob mentality and only strengthened its stranglehold with every subsequent patch. It was never one server championing the idea of it. Hopefully the new BLs will alleviate some of this play style…

I share your hope that one day the blobbing will end but let’s not try to re-write history here…

SoR created this tactic to stay competitive in T1 before the IRON/KISS EU transfers.

SoR continued this tactic once they had a large influx of players across multiple time zones and continue to map blob even now.

Every other server has had to do the same to compete and now the lag is pretty much unbearable.

created the tactic eh? I guess those PRX (hod) RUIN (et) map blobs didn’t really exist in t1 a year ago. I’m sure jq had some as well but can’t think of any of the guilds.

This guy speaks the truth. I recall map blobs back when PRX and RUIN were at their prime.

Don’t forget the NYS blob. They’ve been around just as long.

Since when we are a blob? That’s gross

gotta love when an sor guilds get called out blobbing and the whole server comes in their defense saying we don’t blob and we don’t have coverage. You guys blob harder than the other t1 servers

Lol who is this kid and why is he so obsessed with SoR?

Might want to get some professional help, buddy.

KarlusDavius.1024:

You want soldier for shout builds. Just sayin.

And shouts aren’t just for healing.

It seems that TC (less so SoS, who I rarely see anyways) has the propensity to blob only because they believe SoR blobs exclusively, when in reality guilds do there best to run as a guild only through tagless commanding.

grave of hearts.7830:

As i said lets leave it at that
It was all my imagination and SoR is totaly composed of angelic beeings and saints.

Are you calling us angelic bees or trying to spell angelic beings?

grave of hearts.7830:

SoR just proved its “superiority”
At least have the decency to tell your spy to wait a little before sending an entire guild to sweep a tower to find the hiding mesmer.

Just cause you got sweeped you cry foul and accuse SoR of spying. Tbh, why would SoR even bother spying SoS lol. No one is interested in spying SoS.

SoR has a win without pause mentality, spying would not be far-fetched in the least.

Don’t flatter yourself. TC and SoS are happy meals compared to what we normally face.

Great fights with TC in their Garri thank you all for your loot xoxo

now you can give all your lot to cuddles shifty muahahahahah

Got heem

Xom.9264:

Get into the GvG side of the game eles are an outstanding must have choice for nearly all team setups.

He’s asking about sPvP, though.

Kudos to RoT for continuing to come back to IRON’s EB bridge and giving us fights during reset last night. Twas loads of fun! :-)

Crimson Riddles.3892:

Shifty.4985:

So i feel soooo sorry for FA right now :’(
all you wana do is well run from them, so BG know what it feels like when they run from us
Much love xoxo

On the contrary, I heard A-Net dedicated the Sanctum Sprinter title just for SoR since all they do is run & hide inside their keeps.

Title suits them well

You’re pretty delusional, buddy. Guess that’s what happens when you become engrossed in PPT. :-)

FA, don’t give up!

Viking Jorun.5413:

Is Iron the only guild in Chimera Corps?

Indeed, IRON is a strong force during European prime time. However, other EU guilds exist that weren’t listed.

To show you the other side of the coin, the SoR community is structured heavily around guilds. While you can certainly have loads of fun as a militia member, you won’t get what I consider the full experience without running in a guild. However, none of us will tell you to “suck it up” or “kitten”, so at least we’re better in that regard.

Lol @ the dude commenting on SAHP voices.

WvW or SPvP? If WvW, what aspect?

The ele is high risk, (usually) no reward.

QQ.

Out of many sad months, this is one of the saddest days for the ele.

RIP.

With your numbers, you really ought to be looking at T2-4 for good fights.

After talking to my friends from FA, it seems that RISE moving to FA is true. What’s going on, BG?

80+ three merged SoR zergs at Woodhaven right now……do NOT EVER talk about Blackgate blobbing again, SoR, kkthx. =.=

Glad I’m not there right now, LOL!

But seriously, BG blobbed so hard earlier today. :p

Looks like BG is starting to inherit SoR’s blobbing tactics!

Well, you’re kind of stating the obvious. We all blob at varying points throughout a day. It’s like saying “omg my banana was so yellow today”.

You can actively NOT blob, though.

And bananas start out green…

PvE is easy enough for all classes. Don’t listen to PvE elitists that think you need to go full zerker warriors to be effective.

But as I said earlier, WvW/PvP is a whole different ball game, especially for eles.

The BG blob during EU primetime was ridiculous today! At least we got some good fights because of it…

Reroll.

Haha, but if you decide to stick it out, take a look at daphoenix’s D/D ele guide on the forums. 30 in arcana is a must, but you can play around with putting points in water, earth, and air. You’ll need to gear with defensive stats because the ele is naturally squishy.

Or you can try the S/D Fresh Air.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvsb2hmvyEw

Probably not the setup for a beginner.

There are much larger issues to fix than this. Bloodlust stacking is NOT unbalanced. As it has been stated before, it takes time to gain those stacks and you can lose them in multiple ways, through switching maps, logging off, or getting downed. These mechanics alone balance out the extra power gained at 25 stacks.

The problem many competitive games have is that instead of buffing areas to make the game more balanced, developers find it safer to simply nerf everything. With the former, you gain new possibilities for builds, while the latter results in losing options and many sticking to a small number of builds. If you decide to change sigil stacking so that it requires you to keep the weapon equipped, you may very well see no one using them.

A side note: For a lot of balanced builds, bloodlust stacks allow us to make up for the lack of attack potential in our builds. The ele is a great example. With low health and armor and mediocre damage, any viable balanced build needs the bloodlust stacks to put out any sort of meaningful damage on enemies, or they won’t be able to even attack opponents because they’re downed/dead. The fact that eles are limited to one weaponset exacerbates the problem even more. Of course, this brings us to the fact that profession balance is a higher priority at this point and should be focused on more so than this silly sigil stacking feature “bug”.

You shouldn’t put other fields on top of your water field…

To that Haziz guy that said conjured weapons are a core mechanic.

LOL. Good joke!

haviz.1340:

Mirsa.1628:

Conjured weapons are not a viable or fun way to play the ele. The loss of a utility slot is a huge blow to the efficacy of a class that is already struggling to be relevant in this game. I have no idea how anyone could justifiably place conjured weapons in a competitive build.

No one said they’re fun but they make eles at least somewhat competitive in pve settings (which isn’t competitive environment in the first place).

I’m not talking about PvE. Lol.

Thank you to SOR and FEAR (using troll guild tag) for interrupting the DA vs ONS GvG several times. We took the time to set up a match on a map that was completely overrun anyway and you felt the need to troll our fight not once, but several times.

We had to call the match early because we were unable to finish a fight uninterrupted.

GvG’s take time to schedule and coordinate. We had members rearrange their schedules to participate. If you don’t GvG thats cool, but please respect the time of people that do.

I’m sorry to read this. This is unacceptable behavior; please do not believe that this is the behavior or mindset of the general server.

there’s no need to be an apologist dude, I doubt it will be appreciated cuz of all the bags that likely spawned, Assuming both bg and jq were wiped of course

I would be upset if someone decided to interrupt a GvG I was participating in.

and so you apologise for the server? please speak for yourself, according to what the people say, , they were attacking Bay while they were donig gvging, a tier 2 bay, forces came in, and afterwards what happens? both groups attack garrison while Ddosing and get wiped, and are both later kicked off the map by FEAR, theres only one loser here, well, several

I am sure that interrupting GvG’s is not in the MO of the SoR realm. We’d be better off without people like you.

Why don’t you just 1v1 him to show your l337 skillz

Eh, the problem with 1v1 is that some classes absolutely stand no chance against others if the opponents are equally skilled.

Such is the sad state of GW2 balance right now.

From the perspective of organized guild raids:

T1 (Core): Guardian, Ele, Warrior
T2: Necro, Mesmer
T3 (Miscellaneous tasks): Thief, Engi, Ranger

Just a note about thieves: As the meta continues to evolve, we may see thieves as more than just roamers. The ability to pick off key support members can turn the tide of a battle. The use of thieves was paramount to EP’s recent victory against Agg (as told by an Agg member).
