It sucks for us too. To WP and camp is really tedious on the attackers to sit as scout at areas calling inc and waiting for stuff to happen. WvW is kind of boring when it’s played the “right” way.
SoS will eventually fall on its own.
So I just watched the 1v3 video…
1 – That’s some obviously good play on Mag’s part.
2 – I’ve never been able to put out the kind of damage and mobility. I don’t know if I’m under-geared, poorly spec’d… whatever. Is that just OP D/D ele stuff?Good grief.
The one the mag durp posted? He’s a mesmer.
CD is really bad at trash talk and making this forum at all entertaining.
Us SBI people also do not excel in Guumba style trash talk. I will admit some of it is very entertaining………….but some is so obvious it is just point and laugh material.
SBI does the 2-3 paragraph trash talk. We’re more direct so that people at work can join in. The paragraphs that SBI/CD write can be boiled down to 1-2 lines that are roughly similar.
CD is really bad at trash talk and making this forum at all entertaining.
I think this about sums up the chaos at SM earlier.
So much lag.
Yeah if they could improve the lag a bit fights like this would be awesome
Well that explains why the fight club was so dull tonight! (at least from 11est+ i usually can’t get on till then)
Yeah a lot of us wanted to see this epic lag stonemist stalemate.
Oh, you were the thief/ele that ran when I downed you guys 2v1 and then hugged guards when we tried to run up to 1v1 or 2v2. Then we got bored and started diving legendaries. Well good job I guess.
Do you have footage of the so-called 2v1 against me and my friend? I would love to see it. Are you the mesmer that died at the camp when you had a warrior, two mesmers, and an engineer with you, against me and my friend?
No. That fight you are describing also didn’t happen in the video. You’re picking people off 3v1 for the first 9 minutes, and we were bored on a 100% BL guard diving you after that.
Oh, you were the thief/ele that ran when I downed you guys 2v1 and then hugged guards when we tried to run up to 1v1 or 2v2. Then we got bored and started diving legendaries. Well good job I guess.
If you ever want to actually do some 1v1 or 2v2 outside of guards please whisper me or anyone.
I do like that you missed the parts where you weren’t in guards and died multiple times. Including trying twice to do 5v5 and you and the ele dying in 3 seconds.

Any DURP guild leaders here? Does this Zastari guy represent how you guys handle yourselves as a guild or what?
Yes
Sorry, Do It To It is not actually the guild leader, I am.
But the answer is yes, that’s how we handle ourselves as a guild. In 1v3.
Butt the answer is I’m actually Maguuma’s King.
Whoa oh is the lord of the Maguuma Universe so pls fall in line. When will someone discipline tsarazi?!
Oh now I see why CD runs from 1v1s, they lose 1v3s when they actually fight
Not sure what CD you’ve been seeing, but the DURP (rofl) nametag from what I’ve seen almost always translates into free kills. I’ve lost count the number of times when I’ve been in a small group that steamrolls a DURP-bad zerg that outnumbers us 2 or 3 to one. The DURP zerg of course responds with more numbers. 10 DURP bads aren’t enough to take a supply camp being defended by 2 CD? Then bring on over another 10! rofl
Interesting video of the cherry picked fights though, but doesn’t mean a whole lot. After all, I’m sure many of us here have been victorious when we soloed 2 or 3 enemies. Only thing is, not all of us record those encounters and post them on the forums in a bad attempt to look good. But hey I understand what you’re trying to do. After all, if winning doesn’t come often for you, then you must record+show the few measly morsels whenever you do get lucky.
Some guy posted above you about a fight club tonight. Maybe you should come and show how bad mag/durp is. Thanks!
Hey Mag! Fight Night at 6pm Server Time at the usual place on Mag BL?
Okay!
I don’t think t3 will be more challenging, just more numbers. That means more WXP and fun. We’ll lose in t3 to DB, but I don’t think anyone cares about winning. SBI and CD have many hours of dead time where it can get pretty boring.
Mag have memories of FA/DB in t3 and don’t want to go back, but yaks is there now. I don’t care how much people want to fluff yaks as some kind of threat, they’re no FA.
Farewell Mag. I still think you’re the best server in the game, but it was time to leave.
goodbye ooa
You don’t need a guild to participate in fight club. Just enjoy pvp and like getting better.
I enjoy roaming and I enjoy PvP. I despise these so-called “fight clubs.” Why? Because I hate standing around watching other people duel with my thumb up my kitten waiting for my turn to fight.
Also, I can’t think of a situation, ever, where my roaming group came up on another roaming group in open field, took over a minute to discuss our strategy and who we should focus first, discuss who the enemy group may focus first, what to do if they do focus who we think they will, then make sure our members have specific utilities for the forthcoming fight, and then give some signal to the other roaming enemy group that we are now ready to begin after our discussion has concluded.
That’s what “fight club” is.
If I want to get better and enjoy PvP, I much rather run with my friends, find other similar enemy groups on the battlefield, and, in the heat of the moment, discuss who to kill over hectic teamspeak, take quick note of the environment around me for protection, and then proceed immediately to fighting while also keeping an eye behind me for more enemy adds. That’s excitement and that’s PvP.
Enjoy your calculated, boring and planned “fight clubs” if that’s your thing. Just please don’t imply that others are either scared or don’t like PvP if they don’t participate.
Cool looks like someone that has never been to a Mag fight club.
LoD was probably the last guild on SBI that ran with a real plan or group make up and they are long gone. AoN was on our server briefly but left, and they looked for small outmatched skirmishes. All SBI has now is a bunch of guilds that have 4-7 participants a night hopping in whatever map, for the most part. Aside from UDL who I think already fought some guild, there isn’t any other “try hard” types left on the server. Maybe some of the solo players would rather chime in, but really we don’t have that kind of presence. LoD and SF probably the last.
You don’t need a guild to participate in fight club. Just enjoy pvp and like getting better. When people want a group at fight club, someone just says in /s if they need more, and 5 people will jump at it. We do that because wvw is pvp oriented and we find it fun.
Maguuma is winning from numbers, but the score is silly. Our roamers is dying for other roamers to fight with or fight clubs to go to. For the talk about Mag being bad open field, we need to bend over backwards to try and find people to fight at all. Most SBI just waypoint away.
edit: We’re going tryhard to try to get back to t3 at this point. Yaks hate fighting just as much as SBI, but DB has some good people that we can have fun with again.
(edited by Pinko.2076)
I guess no one from mag should point out we’ve tried to get like 8 fight clubs or group vs group going against SBI to no avail. Sure I guess we suck open field let’s just go with it.
We had a queue for EB last night on SBI. I was so happy.
I hope SBI keeps the numbers up. Running 60 mags into 60 SBI on SBI bl was fun.
Think of carts in a overall sense. Yeah, you’re hitting 1 guy for 700-1000 damage, crippling, bleeding. Now multiply that number by 50. That’s only costing you a single person to do that huge amount of damage. Now build 2, 3, 4 carts since they’re so cheap and you’re talking insane amounts of force multiplication.
To be dreadfully honest, I’ve yet to see mag hold anything without a Zerg to back it.
Mag has the power of numbers and coherency in using team skills, something I wish CD would learn overnight. But Mag needs at least 20 defenders to hold anything. Can’t tell you how many times equal teams have met at towers and after a bit of fun fighting, CD has won. But your zerg strength is beyond anything CD could dream of. I envy it to be honest.
If you’re talking about eternal battlegrounds in the dead of night, then yes, that’s just cobbled together people. Maybe 10-20 people in one mumble channel at those hours just hopping waypoints to play triage against CD. If you think we outnumber CD in the asian prime, you’re mistaken.
RE: open field, we like to have fun guild vs mag mumble against Awe at night and the scores are close, so I don’t know about the night time guys being terrible unless outnumbered.
All siege weapons are 50 target limit, except for ballista and golem at 10 target limit.
One of the neat parts of GW2 is the viable builds/gear mix options. A different build for pve, spvp1, tpvp, spvp2, wvw roaming, wvw zerging. The bad part about all of this is having to stop what you’re doing and trek to a city to spend minutes setting it all up each time you switch what you’re doing.
Introducing alternate trait/gear sets would be a godsend to a lot of people that use a lot of different builds. Also, charge gems if you want. I’d happily pay a gem charge for each preset slot.

p.s.s. I’m not saying you guys are weak or anything. You’re stronger than SBI and CD. So, cheers on that.
I don’t know… We feel weak and flabby lately to me. Weak during our off-time hours (We put up strong fights, but not enough substance to back up our dedicated folks, there.) Flabby during our peak hours. I’ve seen some amazing crisp play, but we are so bloated with fairweathers, fresh meat, and trolls that we beat ourselves as much as we let others beat us, right now. Oh well. :-)
CD, in particular seems pretty lean and strong to me. I just assume whenever I’m dealing with CD that I’m going to get a decent fight out of it. You guys should hold your heads pretty high.
If you say so.
I mean if that’s what you think, then who am I to convince you otherwise.
See you in the battlefields.
I think it’s how a lot of people felt last night on Mag, but it was mostly because we got double or more the numbers from people that don’t really… know what’s going on. We hit a high PPT, but it was really sloppy.
Thank god for the removal of armor repair costs for outmanned.
oh look, mag.
http://postimg.org/image/uzg43zua3/Oh..
http://postimg.org/image/hxufe55vv/…at least you can see everyone now? :v
That’s hilarious.
We also sorta stopped trying as a server circa day 2 of this matchup. Which is frustrating.
Where were you yesterday? We started mid-day with the goal of getting waypoints in every CD keep. Super tryhard all around.
That’s because if we so much as sneeze at Maguuma, it seems like they empty out Lion’s Arch to come take everything back.
Not entirely true. Look at the past hour. You just sneezed at us a few times: took all the camps on MagBL, took some towers… We ignored you. But then you got greedy and went for west keep. We had to remind you that we weren’t asleep, just busy.
By which you admit you win by numbers. It’s been obvious as a coal-pile in a ball-room you simply out-cover SBI and CD combined, but at least it’s nice for someone on Mag to admit it..
It’s not winning by numbers to ignore camps and southern tower flips, that’s good resource management. Those holdings are not sustainable or valuable in any way. When you touch a northern tower or keep, we stop ignoring and allocate bodies that were busy doing something else to take care of it.
It’s weird that we’ve both faced yaks bend, because you seem to be describing a different server.
Name a yaks guild that has given you trouble, Sovereign. Also a Kaineng guild.
Have you ever fought anything outside of our night crew? If not, I’m not surprised you would come to that conclusion. But yeah, even the T3 thread just pointed out that the CL guild is basically free loot bags.
Yes, I don’t base this on Nightcrew. Yak’s bend Nightcrew is a little bit weaker than your guys. But their NA crew is strong/consistent. Just saying after having fought you guys for some time now.
:3
Strong at what? You do know Mag has fought yaks way more than you have, right?
Strong over all.
You’ve fought them, I’ve fought them. And I’ve fought you guys.
Your point being?
Wow Kaineng used to be so awesome.
But Kaineng is more awesome now.
One of the T2 contenders.
By this comment I see why you think yaks are good.
I’m merely comparing fighting Yaks to you guys, and not their position in the tiers. But if I were to use the tiers themselves as basis, then they are stronger than you guys because they were able to maintain a tier 3 status more consistently.
In the case of kaining, we fought them at their prime. And when CD herself had more people than we have now.
24/7 score of 0-80 daily was very depressing back then. And the only pride we had at such time was they couldn’t take one supply camp in our borderlands despite having taken everything else, because every CD player would bunker down on that one spot out of desperation.
I get your reasoning, I just think it’s stupid. Basing the strength of the server on score and PPT doesn’t interest people that play wvw for pvp.
I think it’s stupid to base it on score too, which is why I didn’t do so when I stated the above. ^.^
You literally just based yaks on their consistency in t3. Not one post ago. You just did it.

Having fought both yaks and mag, I feel yaks is a bit stronger overall.
So, if you guys plan to duke it out, better prepare more.

Maguuma is preparing to survive the waves of bags from the CL guild.
Maguuma has an addiction, and one man is supplying us. The first image is the normal golem standby. Those despawned so the second picture happened.
It’s been a decent enough few weeks for this server group, but looks like Mag will be getting a free invitation to T3 next week, SoS departing. Not sure that they really earned it, but coverage should be more interesting for us at least. DB will have free reign off peak, even more than usual.
Explain this “earning it” thing in regards to meaningless rankings.
It means you didn’t earn your meaningless rank.
What does “earning it” mean where you come from?
The entire function of the wvw system isn’t competitive. It’s a population matching tool and not much more. To say that servers need to earn a new matchup seems like people misunderstand the function of it!

Why all the hate on CD?
I see the same thing from Meguuma. Then again, we don’t post it here but report it immediately.
See you in the battlegrounds.
I don’t see anyone hating on CD?
Having fun with CD on CD bl!
I hate to be the one to mention this- but there are a group of CD who are using exploits, I just had a CD mesmer wave at me, jump THROUGH the gate at mendons, then proceed to portal his team inside.
I know CD are a good server, with good people, but stuff like this really reflects badly on a server.wrong place to post this. ss and send it to support tyvm
I would say this is exactly the right place. You should call out the guild name too. Anet isn’t going to do anything. But respectable guilds and servers can. If the exploiters get gkicked and called out enough they will stop or leave the server.
I have glitched through a gate a couple of times by accident. I am not sure what I did to do it. But I jumped right back out.
NW tower gate is very easy to get through. More than once someone has gone through it, died, then partied and said they didn’t mean to.
What’s wrong with the old thread? L
Having to scroll through the last few pages of 18+.
Are the forums broken for you? They take you to the last read post.
What’s wrong with the old thread? Let’s talk about some new SW tower tactics in here then.
I didn’t get on until after midnight, so I didn’t get to see any SBI~
Where have all the SBI gone?
within 3k. CD will probably pass us tonight, 2nd tomorrow evening, pass sat, then 2nd for rest of the week.
I posted in the wrong thread, but I guess I’ll use this post to say go Ebay!

The way borderlands are designed, the home server should always be double teamed on their BL.
Is superior PvDoor something we want to be known for?
Please be nice to Sovereign he’s Bony’s Death Photographer.
CD your night guys are a lot more fun than the day guys. Nightly gvg, 10v10 golem duels, borderland races to see who takes sbi’s stuff first. I hope the 10v10 golem was recorded, because I wasn’t there to see it.

Getting sick of cd. Eternally outmanned during NA hours. Honestly wish the oceanic players would leave so we could drop to a tier we actually belong (nothing against the players themselves, but it really is ruining the experience for us NAers).
If there’s more oceanics than NA’s, then when should the oceanics be the ones leaving?
