It’s nice to see that this matchup is all about warrior duels.
Very nice fights tonight for us on AM and EB. It took us forever to get hills against a very nice defense. Wiped a couple of times but for the most part worked out better than expected.
I hope you appreciate our final charges against your roaming group at 1am…
Have a nice week!
Also, BNF was pretty close to having a proper zerg tonight.,,
Yea also ty to the “25” man FURY smallscale group (+/- 30 pugs)
No, thank you. We work very hard to keep up our lovely pug army and i’m sure they appreciate your compliment.
Nonetheless we had some nice fights against BOOM, ZERG and NOE. Have a nice week!

The ranking will never have any significance without tournaments. Currently it requires the consent of two guilds to do a gvg and there is no reason to accept a challenge. You don’t want to fight – you don’t show up.
We had the problem that over 5 weeks we only found one opponent, despite asking every guild registered on the website or that we found ingame.
Also guilds change their leaders/members/composition quite frequently. Having all matches ever played under a tag taken into consideration won’t give information about the current strength of a guild. Just forget about the ranking, have fun and fight for glory!
Some very nice fights on Piken bl over the last few hours. Rather few blobs and mostly guilds running by themselves. We’re new here so forgive us if we don’t remember all the tags yet, but thanks to NEWS, ECL, IRAE, VOLT and others for the fights.
And of course GD. It was a shame we couldn’t really touch you tonight. Still, we tried our best. Thanks for the fair fights and not backstabbing us. Hope to see you again!
That’s disappointing, we were looking forward to it
Catch you next time. Anyone else want a 15v15 on Thursday?
Yes, FURY challenges you scrubs! Let’s get it on!
I wondered because we usually don’t find AS in full force until ~10pm french time. We must be unlucky then.
Thanks to Arborstone for fighting us this week! It’s a shame though that you start your raids so late (always wondered why…). Nice to see that you’re also improving in the rating.
Dear Fort Ranik, what’s wrong? I was hoping for some nice blobs this week, but it seems almost impossible to get a decent fight outside of EB. Only small groups, ninjaing and arrow carts. Why don’t you form a nice zerg like everybody else? Good luck in the future anyhow!
So… ac’s and golems are still pretty cheap?
Alright, alright, alright…
Thanks to AS and DL for the fights this week. The last few days have been rather boring since you somehow managed to get your entire servers into one neat karma train – except for our beloved heroes with the cannon mastery.
Have a nice reset!
I want to thank AS for the fights yesterday in front of bay. You just retook your borderland and we were trying to get fights. We wiped a couple of times, but had some of the most challenging fights of the week. Unfortunately you lost some numbers in the end, so here is one of our more successful attempts at engaging you:

Thank you again and good luck for the finale of the week!
So, how is the weather in germany? How are wife and kids, arborstone?
After the extremely laggy reset it looked like a rather boring week, but it actually turned out to be enjoyable (and profitable).
I like the way that drakkar handled the blobbing topic. Let’s hope we can avoid this waste of time.
… “hell hath no FURY”. we tried to avoid you, after 2 wipes in hills, for our public players sake, and moved to AS homelands, but you got us even there. I look forward to meet you again when we are with our guildalliance raid.
…
We had a good run yesterday. Good luck and see you then!

…Props to FURY aswell completly alone today! Cheers! we couldnt match your numbers but still fun challenging fights! Keep running solo
Please, don’t cover for us! We always follow the inspirational quote of our founding fathers: “If you don’t have anybody to hold hands with – nobody likes you.” If anybody ever finds us alone, it’s because
a) Nobody likes us.
b) Our fanboys/men are busy capping a sentry point and we let go of their hands by accident.
Should we ever fight again we’ll try to never disappoint you again. We couldn’t stand the thought of gaining respect!
Also thanks to NO for the gvg tonight. Have fun on the reset and good luck in the future!
I’m truly sorry if you misinterpreted my poorly chosen words. I have edited the last sentence of my previous post in order to avoid such confusions.
So stop you’re chatter about running alongside people as everyone knows how much you and you’re fanboys love holding hands.
But that was uncalled for! How dare you insult my minions like this? Most are fanmen by now! And holding hands is an activity unjustly associated with little girls collectively thinking about unicorns. It’s very manly in fact.
If you don’t mind my question though, who are these fanboys you speak of? As i don’t recall them , maybe you can enlighten me. If you need inspiration, we have two streams for our events. I might have to rewatch them since i just can’t put my finger on the names of these fanboys…

Many actions can be taken of which: 1) Temporary denial of joining guild raids. 2) Guild kick are examples.
First of all i want you to thank you for your renewed interest in the case. Many people have told you to get lost and that it’s none of your business. But they simply don’t understand.
When the founding fathers of FURY came together on a cold christmas eve, they decided that free people should never be ruled by dictators again. Nay! Only the random guys on the internet have the moral integrity to lead us!
I just want to express my eternal gratitude for remembering our motto: “We care when nobody is interested in your opinions.”Also thanks for the fights to SM, PONY, QQ, NO, RL, NR, FIRE, REDDIT for the fights on gunnars last night. May the arrow carts in your bags be plenty and the raidcall always working!
1) You weren’t around at that meeting, you were happily in [UNTY] if you have more christmas stories please enlighten me.
2) Don’t pretend like you care anything about any motto, guild or server, you’ll just do what benefits you most, just like you joined FURY only days after you left UNTY.
3) According to your statement, you actually do care about my opinion, because nobody else caresWish you would get back to being the old cheery pink char commander, but I guess that Rorik is long gone, now we only have this machine that does nothing but troll and blob up with PuGs to get his loot.
Hold on a second… are you the one the prophecy spoke of? The one borne without the ability to detect sarcasm? How do you survive on the internet?
Still, your exceptional gift enabled you to comprehend my diabolical plan. Since we’re on our own, what harm could it do to tell you?
I am part of a secret society of commanders that brainwashes brainless pugs into braindead minions. Then we pit these hordes against each other while standing on the sidelines armed with our trusty tagsticks. We are on every server, maybe right beside you, training you to senselessly follow the blue icon – all for our amusement and the precious.
In FURY i perfected this craft. Running with at least three commander icons usually does the trick. If all fails i use the ancient magic of raidcall to call in my minions from all across the mists! If you see us on our own – don’t be fooled. Our numbers are legion and it’s simply culling that prevents you from gazing upon our true might!
Also i hope that you guys from [Edit:] BOT, DC, DAWN and FIRE weren’t too bored yesterday on GH border. And hi to MYA!

LOL Rorik! Trying to find you alone is getting harder and harder. [/quote]
You, good sir, can always find me alone for some duels!
Some of you guys posting seem to have an uncanny resemblance to a few of the xXx posters. Just sayin.
The “certain event” was an open mic we decided upon almost a month ago. The first one in five month. See you on the other 6 days of the week were we raid alone.
That was indeed bad mannered and i’m sorry about that. Don’t let one comment ruin the good fights we had. See you on thursday for some nice fights without interference.
Meh, get over it. This is the internet. So far this doesn’t even qualify as a banter. Also this is the first matchup that we are truly emotionally invested in.
What day was that? As Saturday we didn’t raid and Sunday we split our raid into two groups as we couldn’t find any good fights, so you might have downed half of our raid =)
I have to give you credit for that.
Also since when does dzagonur run around in a giant server blob? Didn’t remember you like that. The numbers you had on EB on saturday and on GH yesterday were ridiculous.
Nobody here speaks for FURY. The members of the guild are free people (the last time i checked). If you want some official statement, talk to para or syndz. I’m sure they have some nice and comforting words for you that will make you feel all fuzzy inside.
Also an honorable mention to Snows blade for some proper trolling over the last few days.
… and to the guy who said server pride is a myth, server pride most definitely exists, the fact that you haven’t found it yet doesn’t mean it isn’t there
…
Wait a second… Aren’t you the guy whose body we banished around on ruins of surmia?
Thanks for hosting the open mic on GH, we had a lot of fun!
Some of you Fury guys posting seem to have an uncanny resemblance to a few of the xXx posters. Just sayin.
How dare you good sir, how dare you!
Please put me on the list as well! Judging from the fights today this should be rather amusing.
Someone has been farming during the reset…
I’m seeing a lot of familiar names among you and can’t wait for thursday!
this guy doesn’t ^^, anyway, nice to see you too FURY, I’ve killed 14 of you and counting, it’s my way of expressing how I felt about you joining another server
. bring it on!
Well, i’ve killed 1752 of you since the match started. Seems like a solid ratio. Good luck for the rest of the week, Riverglade!
In my humble opinion i don’t see the slightest difference between AG and any of the other servers. A million Ac’s, open field siege, corpsezerging blobs, their guilds hiding inside keeps and towers etc.
It’s a shame we missed TUP tonight, since they seem to be the only fun people and proper guild to fight there.
Sincerely Rorik
The problem is the population imbalance in this match. Since we got SM, there is a rather long queue for EB (without guilds). No one pushes on our borderlands. Of course there will be a couple of guild groups on your borderlands.
Since in this tier nobody got the coverage to really push on keeps during the rest of the day, most of the objectives are fully upgraded and sieged for primetime. This means long sieges that will attract numerous guilds/commanders.
It’s a vicious cycle of boredom that leads to blobbing.
It’s is the matchup itself that is at fault, since it is (scorewise) expected of GH to double the points of the other servers.
I guess you are talking about the bay fights where you half wiped us twice and then got trampled by, i believe, SOE and PRXM. Well, it happens.
Before this we listened to 80’s pop on our ts while at least i was getting hammered with cheap scotch. We spent 10 minutes dancing around a tree and veiling between trees in order to get WBC out of a tower. Just as we were debating the perks of ritual suicide compared to self mutilation, a golden sword appeared….
And i dare say it was the same situation for the other guilds that rushed to bay. There’s just not enough action due to low population and the match being a complete blowout.
At least i enjoy the good fights that we had and haven’t lost my respect for INC – quite on the contrary.
Rorik, FURY
When we golem rushed three keeps at the reset without even seeing an enemy, it looked like a horribly boring week. It turned out to be the opposite – at least for EB. The zergs are big enough to make them entertaining, but stop short of skill lag.
Our raids are a lot larger than most of the guilds on wsr or bt. There are still a couple of them that try regardless. Thank you!
Thanks to INC for showing up this week (whatever your reasons for being here are). It’s always fun to fight you and we had a fair share of intense fights already. You really spiced up the matchup for us.
Have a nice week,
Rorik, one of the 44 FURY
As i mentioned earlier this matchup was horrible. Theres no way denying it. Still, there were glorious (and profitable) moments as well. Like defending SM.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Qn8KCPz9zPE
A free piece of advice: When someone sets up magic find banners, bonfire and stacks on a merchant next to the gate – chances are you won’t take SM that day.
My personal opinion:
This probably the most boring matchup i’ve been in. AS with their handholding, tier-3 sized zerg guilds is a wonderful example of what ruins wvw. I hope that we never meet again.
From the perspective of FURY:
Great fights, lot of fun, greatest respect etc.
Then open one – and talk about how amazing Fury is! I will cry myself to sleep tonight because of this severe lack of attention!
Also greetings to the asura mesmer from BNF with his survivability build, trolling and protecting on dzagnur like a baws!
Thanks to DW for the gvg, i was very impressed how you adapted after the break! You showed some great ingenuity and we weren’t sure how to handle you in the last few rounds.
Thanks to INC for the gvg. The performance you put on in open wvw is incredible and i’m sure you pick up on the different pace of gvg in no time!
To both guilds: have a great week and some nice fights! I’m looking forward to facing VII tomorrow, who seem to run with similar numbers as we do and who i’ve been watching for a long time!
Rorik, a dude from FURY
Thanks to GOA for the gvg tonight. Good luck in the future and have a nice reset!
Rorik, FURY
Thief is underpowered in pve, rather weak in spvp but overpowered for roaming in wvw. The main difference is time. You are forced to attack in spvp, whereas you have all the time in the world to kill other roamers in wvw without the same pressure to contribute.
I do believe that d/p needs to be slightly nerfed, by applying the damage of HS after the stealth is done and slightly increasing the initiative costs.
D/d was a straightforward deal: “Get the burst right or die”, with limited escape options. D/p isn’t harder to play but allows too mistakes.
You find open field fights all the time, the ac patch didn’t change much. At least in my experience the last two days were nothing but blobs and lag. There were no “good fights” to be had, unless you teamed up with other guilds or put your commander tag on. Nice to see that others enjoyed.
Yes, the game rewards bigger groups. We all now that and had enough time to accept it. The problem are the people. I don’t care much about pug zergs, but i simply don’t understand how guilds, that i personally regard very highly, keep running together even if they have more than enough people to have a proper event. If you get wiped by a zerg than try to think of different tactics etc. How will you ever improve or get a challenging fight if you constantly have more numbers than your opponents?
There is no shame in getting defeated by bigger numbers.
I wish everybody a nice week!
Rorik, a dude from FURY.
XxX don’t run more than 20. It’s a shame they moved back to Gandara since they seemed to be in great shape the last time i visited gunnars. They deserve a lot more attention.
Thanks to all the guilds that ran on their own this week without a commander icon and gave us some very enjoyable battles! Special thanks to RIOT for the gvg. I’m looking forward to next week with FIRE and VCY!
A salute to all the players that regularly show up at the windmill or accept invitations for duels and to the few mesmers that still play condition builds!
Rorik, giant norn engi. A dude from fury.
(edited by Monkeymonger.9235)
Nice tries Fury, but… No. (5-0)
?
You wiped us once in Bay. That was, i have to admit it, nicely played. We didn’t expect AS to be there in the first place.
I seriously don’t know where the other times should have happened. The fight at south camp was equal until you ported out (although distorted by the million people from each server).
Also laughing/waving/jumping is cute. But do you seriously expect us to push into a group of double our size that is waiting for us at a choke point?
As mentioned above: You are more than welcome to fight us at the windmill with equal numbers.
Sincerely,
A random FURY guy.
Hi,
I’m a simple man. I like killing. I don’t care about attacking/defending keeps/points.
Would it be possible to simply copy+paste the area of the windmill and make it a custom arena? I’d even remove the windmill and warthogs and just take a piece of grass. Maybe some flowers.
Just take it, make it a gamemode of 1v1 up to 25v25. Nothing fancy, just ordinary violence.
Thanks to the guys from BNF for the duels today. I’m enjoying my confusion engi for as long as it’s possible…
Unfortunately my attempts to troll you and destroy your catas at nw tower was … not taken so well by you.
@Robin:
I think we may have ran in to you guys whilst you we’re fighting and thought he needed help because he was down, sorry for interrupting =p
Nah, the guys i was fighting back then were scrubs. The HON guys on the other hand….
Also you, good sir, seem like a well brought up and mannered person. Respecting my rampage and such :P
Before i forget it: A special congratulations to Mesmer Q for beating me repeatedly. One of these days i will get you… one of these days…
A salute to HON for fielding a couple of very skilled players. The duels against you were my personal highlight of the reset. Fighting 1vx vs. bad players makes for great highlight videos, but otherwise isn’t that interesting.
The Machine Rorik, giant norn engi.
Hi, i started an engi a few days ago after watching your videos. So far the only 1v1 i lost was to a mesmer that used a phantasmal build [+health/damage, survival utilities].
I always brought him to 10-20%, but at this point he had berserker/duelists out and stealthed away. Do you have any advice for how to fight this build?
Also great videos ofc!
Thanks to Yak for the fights against fury yesterday. The wipe on the way to the northern supply camp will hopefully teach our leader not to check the map while a bunch of big bad gandarans stalk them with bloodlust in their eyes!
Also a shoutout to tda for being constantly outnumbered and still trying to fight!
And to keep the tone of the thread: Stop blobing you zergers or i’ll blob you back!
I don’t care about blobs. It was probably the same before the culling fix.
What annoys me is that a lot of very skilled guilds refuse to fight when they have slightly less or even numbers. If you have a group of 15 vs. 20 – then just try it. Death has barely any penalty attached to it.
Thanks to JDGE for the duels.
To bb: Either you form a 60+ group or if it’s remotely equal numbers you run. Have some pride in your work. It’s only a game where death costs 1,33s. It’s embarrassing.
Good fights! Great fights! Thank you BB! (Just couldn’t activate my skills.)
