Guild Wars 2

And the excuses started a long slide to the eventual thread lock.. glad i was here to see it.

Congrats to you, now stay in your proper tier…. or is fergeson next?

Funny how a more even set of servers can improve things so much:) Great fights and fun had by all. See you out there.

A bit of fun you guys can have(Yak and CD). Take something.. chew up the pugs who pour in.. but at the first sign of the WM zerg switch lands. Rinse repeat. They get to sit in ques while you get to have fun all night.

Looks like this whole week will be fun!

Been a fun week, Us purgies have been having a blast running around out there. When your side doesn’t take anything you can just run around and harrass folks all day, been a nice change from our normal defense stuff. Almost feels dirty to say it.. but i see what Magumamemumama sees in this roaming thing.

They will rise up until they hit a challenge, then 20-30% of their server will stop coming out to wvw almost instantly because steamrolling the karma train around the map is the most efficient karma making method. Once it’s no longer a matter of log in join zerg get karma and xp.. those folks will go back to something else.

That said, if the other 80-70% is large enough and organized enough they will keep on going up the ranks. Still to be seen. They will have a small advantage that the bandwagon guilds will have to pay to leave so they’ll likely stay even if the server loses once. I predict a fast rise to tier 3.. a tough fight there and a final position of somewhere in tier 2 before they melt like butter on a grill.

Not withering, it’s more like a borderland, we sit on the edge of zergville and emptytown.

Sometimes a bus comes flying down from zergtown with a few folks on it screaming about something called a “que”, and sometimes a bus full of goofballs drives up from emptytown beating their chests and screaming how they rolled us while we slept or worked, and how we should just get more coverage and we could move up too.

I think Ehmry is good where it is, and i look forward to waving at the buses as you kooky kids drive by.

Long story short, we’d like some more folks.. but not too many, and don’t expect to come here and win your way to tier 1, come here because you enjoy fighting and want to do it in an organized but not neurotic environment.

uflyandy.6392:

eBay I hate you guys you know that , but I don’t want to see you guys lose to T5 servers pick up your game ladies and if not join maguuma

Join you on your zerg ride to the land of eternal ques? Not a chance in kitten, and i suggest SM come back before they get stuck there too. When the feb wvw update comes out you guys will have 4 hour ques… good luck having fun in that. We’ll be down here enjoying wvw and watching other servers plummet down or rocket up to the lands of no fun.

Was a fun first night, if devona could have held something in their homeland it could have been closer, but the night coverage thing would have resulted in the same morning look. If you don’t hit a wall i think kain will rise to tier 2. I was amazed how many underleveled folks you had, we were looking for guild tags to see if it was going to be a good fight or not. There were roaving groups of CO you had to watch out for.. and groups of up arrows you could crush under your boots. Wild first day.

You’ll find ehmry doesn’t give up though.

Lol, see you guys out there, don’t beat on us too badly! rolleyes

A mini-zerg is any group of 2 or more roaming in wvw.

Kovu.7560:

Hoping for a quick in-and-out. Never got it. =(

Ahhh married life.

Anyhow great matchup this week guys, been a blast so far!

Squeaky wheel gets the grease! You guys squeak on the forums a lot more so they go for you. Just a theory.

I don’t care about what is Tier 4 coverage or not but I know one thing for certain. Yak and EBay guys don’t mesmer sweep at all. You guys sweep like a Tier 7 server. Again I ninjaed back a tower right under your noes right after the 5 minute lord buff was gone which eventually lead to the return of our garrison.

Skap “The Portal Ninja” – 3 Towers and 1 Hills Keep and counting
Yak – 0
EBay – 0 minus 3 Golems

I like the Scoreboard Idea :O

DB BL, 5 hrs ago the fight for Garrison!!!

DB – 80+ failed garrison attempts.
Yaks – 10+ failed garrison attempts.
EBay – Counting badges.

Oh looks like I hit a sore spot. I am sorry you guys don’t know how to mesmer sweep, I know personally that Maguuma taught you better then this. It’s ok to be a Tier 7 Mesmer sweeping server. By the end of this week I’ll have you guys back up to maybe Tier 5 or 6 in mesmer sweeping. Maybe.

1. I’m not the entire server.
2. It was a joke reply.
3. Lol

Looked at match ups for next week.
Seems it’s gonna be Yak v DB v EB for awhile.

Come on man he posted that same thing twice trying to get a response, he’s trying really hard to bunzy up the thread, don’t crush his dreams.

Hymnosi.5928:

Warning to Devona’s Rest, there be dragons in the tiers above. Magumma is by far the gentlest among them.

LOL at the above, perfect.

waves to bunzy Hey transfer to Ehmry for a week, we’ve got plenty of people up here need killing.

Hmm so yak and ehmry are going to be dueling during the day and db will show up at night. Game on yaks.. let the better server win, it’s a 2 horse race for 2nd to stay in the tier!

Ehmry is in the lead by about 1000, next is yak then about 500 below them is Dragonbrand. Close tough fighting going on.

Good start to what could be a fun week, have to see how it looks in the morning to be sure.

Welcome to t4 again dragonbrand, looks like our day crews are fairly even.

Habib Loew.6239:

Issue #2 is a little harder. We need to ensure that folks with a min-spec network connection won’t be overwhelmed by the data we send them and we obviously can’t just buy a better connection for all of our players. So we put our heads together and came up with a plan to reduce the bandwidth required for WvW (and Gw2 in general) as much as possible. Those changes are in testing now and will be rolled out as soon as we’re convinced that they’re solid. Assuming we’re able to get everything working the way we’d like (and I’m fairly confident that we will) then this will address issue #2.

So that leaves us with issue #3: client performance. Some time ago the WvW team acquired an engine programmer who is focused 100% on this issue (and he is being assisted by another engine programmer who isn’t officially on the WvW team). They’re working on some really fantastic optimizations and engine modifications which we hope will allow even min-spec clients to render all the players on a WvW map. We’ll be talking in more detail about the specific changes they’re making when things get just a little more nailed down, but I can say right now that I’m very impressed with the work they’ve done already.

Question: why not temporarily solve both problems by allowing an option for wvwvw… super low res graphics with no culling. I’d choose that in a heartbeat.. i don’t care what the enemy looks like as long as i can tell that they are not my team and i can see them. Stick figures even. I’m in it for the fighting not the wizbang effects.

With the monthly involving jumping puzzles there will be a lot more pve people wandering into wvw to try and get their achievments. Anyone caught killing these poor innocent folks will get a free high five from me. Again if anyone sees a member of [PURG] not attacking the enemy in a jumping puzzle please report them to an officer.

Mag.. you guys sound irked.. are you mad? We didn’t mean to recruit better than you this week.. honest. We were just trying to get numbers like yak has to stay competitive but we stubbed your toe in the process i see. Apologies.

Well gosh. [img]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-21_jyYvyZxo/T16-fJ9X6oI/AAAAAAAADqI/HaJaKxYuxfg/s1600/themoreyouknow.jpg[/img]

kash.9213:

With all of the “to the so and so who was at this place last night” and “what were you wearing, I might remember you”, this thread is turning out to be a bit awkward and uncomfortable.

mag is a roleplaying server?

Who were the 2 OG we fought last night on the center island of mag bl? It was a norn warrior and a necro(sylvari or human, not sure), vs our 3 random pugs.. i was a lowbie hammer guardian and we had a thief and necro. That was some fun fights, you guys kept coming back over and over.

Cain.9724:

Here’s footage of the ehmry bay player who was using a speed hack.. Wksim [Nevr]:
http://youtu.be/yKqYLR-FIsY

I already sent a link to exploits@arena.net, tho wouldn’t hurt for others to report him.

Will do as well.

See at least from the players I know on Mag, we seem to have fun no matter who we are facing.. the fact that you guys are the only ones in here not having fun when we are around kind of supports my statement. Thanks?

Not gonna feed the troll. You’re welcome and good luck in the next tier.

Apparently everything is about Ehmry Bay.. in the minds of ehmry bay players

Is that the going gossip on Maguuma’s almighty mumble server?

No, I have not been in game so far this match up .. as I said on page 1 I think it was, I’m sick and have been sleeping and browsing forums and matchup page.
I think this again is a good example of what Ebay thinks of mag in general.

Ebay pretty much would like you guys to move on down so we can get back to the fun matchups we’ve been having. Next week will be great fun win or lose.

score update:
yaks – 69,300
ehmry – 51,000
mag’s – third

Good matchup so far!

Yeah i saw you guys got some of the few organized guilds on darkhaven in transfers. Too bad for them they’ll prolly start tumbling down the ranks now.

Wow sorry to hear that Darkhaven.. you guys were always a good match while Ehmry was climbing up from the bottom. Sucks to get snaked by a server you are currently playing.. but the game as a whole is contracting slowly, and folks who like to play in an organized fashion with large numbers are going to have to consolidate on less and less servers. Hopefully you guys don’t fall too far after this.

ON another note, hurry up and move back up DB so you can play us and yak.. our new asian guilds would like some competition for sure.

now they need to fix /dance for golems

Lots and lots of comedy gold in this thread guys.. keep at it!

Next week all 3 scores are very close… how about we team up and knock yak down a tier.. get the week after that to be ebay mag and dragonbrand? That would be a fun one.

*Sniff sniff,

I smell….. fear.

my mind is boggling.. you know this is a video game right?

Next week all 3 scores are very close… how about we team up and knock yak down a tier.. get the week after that to be ebay mag and dragonbrand? That would be a fun one.

It would seem to me that they wanted to provoke a post on the forums about it. You gave them a wonderful christmas gift.

Don’t take pvp personally, you’ll enjoy it more. Live, die, get taunted.. whatever just enjoy the fighting!

Go dragonbrand go! Here’s to a fun next week!

Go Dragonbrand go!

Good fights so far this week!

Too funny reading yak and mag talk in here while us on ebay just play the game and enjoy ourselves. Carry on!

If we get moved down we get away from maguuma, i’d say that is a blessing. Maybe next week after borlis and yak double team the mags.. we’ll swap places with em and they go to tier 5 while we come back up. If not who cares.. it being a video game and all, we’re here for the fighting. A new set of opponents would be awesome.

Urrid.4593:

I guess see you in two weeks Emry! \o.o

That is the plan.

xxxzavulonxxx.8413:

Why is thread filled with a bunch of people trying to go hard in da paint

Not sure… seems that mag is mad at yak for something, the Ebay abides.

Welcome to the server [HIRE], our lack of a large enough overnight presence has been the only thing holding us back thus far.

Here comes another page of long e-book posts explaining how a gank group works and why my particular one is pure awesomeness and vital to the war effort. Badges! Awesome mumble coordination! Group composition!

shrug
Hi Yak see you out there.
Hey mag see more of the normal from you I’m sure.

Am i doing it right? This forum pvp thing is so new and fresh!

IcomeINpeace.2085:

Where are we for score maguumans?

Third place.. read up a few posts.

:)

Sounds like EBay and CD have an alliance against mag? Discuss.

Just a hint. but the range on trebuchet’s is much more than 2000, one built.. say.. at the entrance could bomb the top of the arena dome and clear it off completely. Get some friends, get some supply, and give it a go.

Seriously DB and HoD, stop teaming up against Ebay. The worst is at around 9pm. Literally the only server you guys attack is us…

You own the entire map. What else do you expect? Anything that DB ever has is too far away from spawn to keep defended.

I think he was being sarcastic in his post by the way, which is a tricky thing, as it’s hard to tell from the written word on a forum.

ps. is that better mr. mod?

I wish you guys had skipped the PVE event and come to wvw earlier in the week:(
