If you don’t want to get continually griefed in the JP, don’t keep going back to the JP directly are you got murdered. It’s a PvP zone. People are going to kill you. Crazy concept I know.
Mag takes a keep last night, we’re gonna defend it. Kick us off you probably won’t see us in the BL too much anymore. But atm, the foothold is there. Why would we give it up? This ain’t rocket science people.
The better question is why do we still have it? West keep is by far the easiest keep to take back from your borderlands.
Lol. I don’t even know what you guys are doing in tier 4. I hope next week you go back to t5 or 6 where you belong. Because this is starting to get really boring.
Maguuma has only been T4 and T5 since the beginning of WvW. We’ve never been in another tier. Ever.
Unless that guy is EBay, than I dunno. Something or other.
Sitting holed up in a keep successfully holding off a massive zerg is where the fun is at. PvD is pretty meh.
Keep defense is about the only fun WvW thing in this game. Too bad whenever you are outzerged the correct ~Sun Tzu~ answer is to go PvDoor down 5 things in the time it takes to nab your keep/garrison/whatever
Yeah, FA and SoS were masters of this. Others do it (so do we), but no where near as much as those two did.
Imo, WvW has enough gold sinks in tower/keep/supply camp upgrades and siege equipment. Repair bills in any PvP game are definitely unnecessary, and promote cowardice in battle. It’s simply an archaic design and should be done away with.
1v1 is definitely a terrible indication of a players skills. Class and spec play a significantly more important role on your ability to do anything at all in 1v1.
I’m always more impressed by sieging tactics myself, but to each their own.
*Maguuma does not like Ehmry Bay very much. If you try to refute, just look at this, and the previous, thread.
The only thing you’ll find Mag say about EBay is that they’re tin-foil hat whiners. It’s EBay that’s hated Mag since day 1. It started with an imaginary “alliance” with TC, then the bugged EBay garrison that they couldn’t claim back (which sucked, but it was shown to be a bug that happened purely by accident, but apparently it was our fault anyway). After that the show was basically over. We’ve been called called cheaters, trolls, gimmicky, whathaveyou since. I mean, look up Ralathar.7236’s post history some time. It’s like a love letter to goons (who barely even show up in WvW anymore btw).
I truly do recommend fully rereading this thread some time. Mag players spend all their time in here cracking jokes or trying to show sense to some tin-foil hat theory (like the current one being presented). We really don’t care that much about your server lad. It’s just something you dudes got in your head because you guys feel that way for us. But alas, Maguuma’s heart is for another.
If there’s 30 dudes in a keep, and they notice only 15 dudes attacking, those 30 dudes aren’t sitting inside their keep any longer. They’ll come wipe you out. Just saying.
Just to reiterate, Maguuma has won exactly twice out of however many matches there have been (both the 1 day and week long). People are definitely not coming here to win. Mag’s kept it’s steady ranking because we gain roughly the same amount of total points every match up, which generally puts us in 2nd place more often than not.
On a side note, you guys sure want SMC back since its getting constantly trebbed by you guys.
Anybody that isn’t pounding another servers SM with trebs 24/7 is doing eternal battlegrounds wrong. Can treb that place from absolutely everywhere with minimal effort.
So just now 10-15 Mags got into our keep in eb. No walls down, no gates down including water, and according to other players on, they werent down earlier either. Explain?
I’m posting 10 minutes after this post, and all 3 keeps in eternal borderlands are controlled by their own server and all 3 keeps have the waypoint upgrade. What keep exactly are you talking about because we haven’t taken control of any of your keeps.
Playing on the losing side is significantly more fun than playing on the winning side imo. When you’re winning there isn’t as much to do because you own it all. The losing side can basically take whatever they feel like, whenever they feel like, wherever they feel like. You have nothing to lose when you control nothing already.
Yes. We have spies following you, and only you, around differing borderlands. You specifically are that important to the Maguuman war front. We have been figured out.
East keep is called the Alamo over here. It’s the only thing we kept on the map in the FA/SoS match up and we held it for 52 hours of non-stop attacks. 12 hours from FA and 12 hours of SoS. They literally took shifts at it.
E keep is by far the easiest keep to defend. 2 outer doors, 1 direction to cata any wall, and 2 directions to treb a wall. And nothing can be trebbed from inside another keep or tower like west or garrison. If you lose east keep, you got caught with your pants down.
So… What I said was correct. No significant attacks in your borderlands from Mag.
It’s not like we haven’t shown we can come into your BL and take your stuff out before. Mag and EBay have fought each other 3 other times, and Mag beat EBay all 3 times. We won the match 2 times.
Again, most of the time Maguuma attacks is when we are fighting Crystal Desert. There have been very very very few times this match where Maguuma has initiated any attack without us already being heavily committed to a defense vs Crystal Desert. Of course we hit Crystal Desert fairly often, but we are forced to go and hit Maguuma repeatedly because your server is playing for second instead of first.
I keep track of the map pretty well. You do not push Crystal Desert near as much.
Uh, the only maps Mag go into are EB/Mag BL/CD BL. So what you say might be true in EB, as I never go there in the first place. But in the other 3 maps, this simply isn’t the case at all… Because it’s impossible. CD BL is almost always green, Mag BL is our own BL and we’re going to push everybody off, and no major force has walked into EBay BL since friday night.
For example, at this exact moment both EBay and Mag are in CD BL with a single tower and are both simultaneously attacking E and W keep. ETL BL EBay has been reduced to a single tower so no matter where Mag goes we’re fighting CD. And EBay BL is completely blue. So I gotta ask, where are you seeing this stuff.
You’re spinning yarns my friend to perpetuate this little hate club you seem to have for the Goons, and it’s quite obvious to anybody who has a clue. Or at best you’re seeing 5-10 people mucking around, ninjaing whatever they can, and calling that a sizable force.
But this is what I expect of Mag. Just more gimmicks and crutches aimed at Ehmry
This might be a shock to you, but Mag really doesn’t care about Ebay at all. How often have we even been in your BL this match up? Pretty much never. Supply flippers sure, but that’s as minimal a force gets in WvW. Now the opposite. Well Ebay is in Mag’s BL, in force, every single day.
Ya’ll Ebayers need to get over it.
Everytime I see mag take a foothold in EB you guys get destroyed within minutes. Do not act like you are not fighting EB out of choice – you tried and failed, and now because you are an easy target everyone is picking on you, and rightfully so.
So… What I said was correct. No significant attacks in your borderlands from Mag.

Is this TheFug guy talking about servers being terrible when he plays at 5am for normal people? I got no issues people PvDing, do what you gotta do. But don’t sit here and proclaim your awesome tactics while you do it.
:) i actually had alot of fun just playing defense yesterday against NAGA players. I honestly don’t play wvw to win, if it’s fun ill play, if not i won’t. Keep bringing the fun.
Pretty much what? The first game that isnt GW2 or the second game that isnt GW2?
The use of tactics in a battle/war is very important. Lets not g i m p tactics.
The one person holding off a massing enemy is possible, in the real world and the fantasy world. The few against the many can work, unless it is purely a numbers game.
What does insta-gibbing players with auto attacks have to do with tactics? It’s the exact kitten opposite of tactics. It promotes facerolling more then there already is.
I for one am against the promotion of facerolling.
If you ever played Warhammer Online you’d know why an AoE limit is needed. 5 bright wizards could insta-gib any unfortunate soul that happened to be standing in a certain location. In 50+ vs 50+ battles, if half your army were bright wizards or sorceresses you’d continually be melted into the face of the earth if you were anywhere near the front lines… And WAR had healing classes to help mitigate the damage, and they couldn’t keep you alive. How the hell do you expect to survive with no healers at all?
People will say “Yeah but DAoC didn’t either”. Well here’s the thing with that. DAoC didn’t have many players. Even in it’s absolute peak, you’d never see more then 30 players roaming together. In the new age of gaming, everybody is playing MMOs now. Games have a minimum of half a million players. This ain’t 2002.
People that switch sides solely to win are the problem. Since Mag never wins, there is no problem. Switching servers because you prefer another servers community over the one you’re currently on is completely reasonable.
