Guild Wars 2

Thanks to everyone for coming. I really had a ton of fun. It was a great way to relax and to remember that this is just a game and we are all here to have fun Too bad about the silly RoP guild messing up the dance off. It would have resulted in some nice screenshots.

I’ve posted some screenshots up on the GH forums and if you guys have any I ask you to come post them there as well (remember there are some prizes up for grabs

Next time we should line up for one big group photo at the end

Behind the house in the camp, your dolyaks were attackin us. Didnt they tell you? kitten lazy creatures :P

But ye, we balled up there so we had time to build up our might stacks ^.^

I saw 2-3 of your guys running there fighting them but I thought it was a distraction to lure us away from the trebs XD

Very well played

Uttar.2341:

I made that portal, so thanks

Nice!! Were you all grouped up at the bottom of the cliff before the port? It really felt like you came out of nowhere XD

Well done [DW] You guys had excellent response times last night. In hind sight we should probably have built at least a golem or two to break through those reinforced gates a bit quicker. But as I like to say every wipe is a lesson learned.

We had one little unfortunate bit where we charged you across the bridge at briar and we hit lag and quite a number of us got disconnected.

BTW where were the other FSP guilds? I did not really see any of others really active last night.

In other news I must say I am enjoying the new lootbag drop rates. It’s nice to actually see your bags fill up with loot for a change

I will be putting down some mystery boxes etc down south of South Supply Camp (Heroes/Champions what ever) on GH borderland. Everyone is welcome to join the party tonight at 8pm. We can all have a nice relaxing time before reset. Maybe have a few dual/costume brawls etc there as well

There will also be prizes see this post for more info:

You are all welcome to hangout with us on the GH mumble tonight for the event

Next match prediction by Millenium Old School:
Far Shiverpeaks v Gunnar’s Hold v Abaddon’s Mouth [DE]

hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha takes deep breaths hahahahahahhahaha

Looks like the fun continues next week ^.^

Not really that difficult to understand.

When you win more of your player base start participating. If you lose less and less people show up.

Hope you enjoyed the fun boxes I put around our borderland for you to play with

Really mean of you to kill me while I was dancing next to it though XD

Thanks AG and FG. It was a really fun week and we had some really great fights and epic defenses. Good luck with your next match AG. FG it is time for another round of fun with you and ze germans next week. Looking forward to it

Also I salute you Brave Sir Rddt. Many a fleeing loot bag was collected this week ^.^

Veil is actually creating culling for us in moments where everything was already loaded.
You run trough the veils and your models are wiped from our screen, when you attack you get to attack for 2 seconds while still being invisible because everything has to reload again. Not to mention the horrible framedrops of having to reload a 30ppl zerg again in the middle of a battle.
It’s fine if you use it to try and outflank a zerg bigger than you, but do you really find it necessary to use it against a 15ppl pug group when you have a 30ppl guild zerg?
It’s at moments like that that i really despise the use of meta tactics and guilds alltogether.

Actually I think it is a very good habit to keep no matter what the odds you are fighting. Besides they can hardly be sure you are just 15 either because of the way culling is now.

@Anfauglith – Really you are going to bring this up again??? The first 2 weeks we faced you we did not have superior numbers. The final week we did yes and we have admitted this before.

As to this matchup besides having us outnumbered, AG is communicating very well between its guilds and using solid tactics. The fights at hills this weekend was evident of this. NP, KISS and LOE were great at keeping our keeps starved of supplies and keeping us mostly bottled up in there to defend. I cringed everytime one of out outer defenses was destroyed cause the workers would use the little supply we had to rebuild it. >.< Props guys. Was really fun defending it

Can we put the past behind us and continue to have fun week?

A nice dueling spot would be the arena in the EB Jumping puzzle. People could watch from the top as 2 combatants fight in there. We just need to call cease fire in the JP. You will be out of the main battlegrounds and will not be mowed over by a zerg from any side.

Well done WSR Keep up the fight and keep WvW interesting

Wow. Well done guys. You kept us running all over the place to defend. With the large attack on Whiteside Borderlands against Garrison, Bay and Hills. We did not know what to protect. We were sorta holding our own in Bay and Hills for a bit after garrison fell but then had to pull out of Hills and protect the GH hills since RoF decided to attack there.

All in all a well coordinated and executed attack WS I salute you o7

So much for a boring week XD Keep it up and lets make this a week to remember

Garrus.5089:

What this doesn’t answer the question of, is who the hell puts flame rams down in GH to kill the Guild Claiming NPC? :P

If it is what I am thinking about then it was to get to 15 supplies. Lots of times we all have 10 supplies (can’t pick up the extra 5 if you already have 10) and when someone puts a supply buff on the claimed camp/tower we build a ram so we can each pour 2 supplies into it so we can pick up the 15 :P

I can recommend Whiteside ridge. They are an excellent server that just never gives up and keeps a positive attitude no matter what the odds are against them. I enjoy playing against them and would like to see them getting more players so I can do so more often

Was great seeing you so active yesterday Whiteside Ridge. Had some great fights. You cought us quite a few times of guard and it felt like we were hit by a 10 ton truck

I need self stop chasing mindlessly after fleeing lootbags only to get stomped on by an avalanche of non accommodating lootbags. :P

Thanks everyone for an amazing week. It really was a fantastic week for defending and attacking against fun opponents.

My most memorable part of this week was the hours long 3 way battle in SM lord’s room.

Ventus.9483:

Hehe it would have taken about the same force you had down at DB to have got into the Hills last night even with the skeleton crew arranged to defend it. With the help of [OS] (Forzaaaaa Italiaaaaaa), we’d setup more siege than you could shake a commander at, lot harder to get in, and much more prepared to dig in there unlike the bay.

I had a peak at the south entrance last night. You really had an impressive amount of Balista and Arrow carts up :

1. The commander icon of the commander in whose squad you are be a different colour (yellow mark maybe?)
2. On the overview map show the guild name under the castle/keep/tower/camp of the guild that claimed it. (maybe put a timer on claiming as well so it resets when there is no guild buff on it?)
3. Disable defensive door catapulting.

Epic fight last night in SM. Although I was cursing at those annoying thieves and mesmers of NP :P Very well played. Every time we thought we had you routed out we saw a thief too late rezzing the mesmers followed shortly after by a huge portal bomb :P

You really had us running around in SM trying to find you.

Having the same problem. Got nothing from him and can’t loot the chest either :<

Relogged and waited till I moved out of the overflow server. I could loot the chest then

well that means I need 1 random festive mini so I have 3 to craft the mini quaggan as well as 1 festive golem :<

sighs

Really annoyed about this. Opened up 100 chests got 5 snowmen and 3 of the floating golems. Tried using the mystic forge to see if I could get the festive golem from 4 snowman and ended with a non festive mini.

I’m a mini collector and this is driving me up the wall. Please make them tradeable so I can buy the 2 festive golems from the tradepost :/

Or make them guaranteed rewards for wintersday achievements.

Absolutely brilliant

Here’s hoping Arena.net uses it in next years Wintersday teaser trailer

Took Monday off since Sunday’s event starts late the night.

I was really hoping for a Lost shores mini pack like we got for Halloween. As a mini collector I’m really dissapointed that they are now in the lucky packet chests.

I have noticed this a few times now that when I put a warden on a Graveling breeder it sometimes (not always) seems to reflect the little gravelings it throws up and I end up with a small army of them as “pets” that fight for me. They don’t stay long but I am going to be taking a wild guess that this is not as intended?
