Guild Wars 2

it’s strange that in a matchup between a french and two german servers, this is the only thread so far.
about running into structures with arrow carts, this is a game every server practices and which every server says, their opponents do. So move on, nothing to see here!

at least there haven’t been any complaints about blobbing until now (sorry, laenan made this obsolet now).
had some nice fights over the weekend, let’s see what the week brings.

and don’t forget, tomorrow is patch day and we will be victims to patchtime during primetime and the aftermath

yeah for a 7 week long competition such rewards are inacceptable. so many people stayed up late and fought hard. not even gems or anything like that for 7weeks. in 7 weekss pve u get enough achievment points to ulock a chest that gives way better rewards. seriously anet, not even the servers that finished last deserve such a bad reward. no gold?no gems, the finisher is limited?!?what a joke. 250 limited finishers. i go through that in less than a day.
ill def make a tshirt: i competed in wvw leagues for 7 weeks and all i got is this lousy tshirt!

the problem is, that you can’t show this tshirt in wvw, since town clothes have been disabled!

on topic: as wvw players we are accustomed to lousy rewards, but this is beyond anything i can write here (insert some insults here). loot you can get during one evening of farming in orr, a stack of finishers (not even permanent).

absolutly no reason to be anxious about the “reward”. One exo, the rest crap, the mini dolyak, some ascended mats one has farmed within the our in orr temples and the finisher is limited. and all this for first place in bronze league

what a load of crap!!!! Bravo a-net :-(

better then nothing and not surprising all at the same time.

i dind’t expect more, but it’s hard to process that for a-net seven weeks of wvw is less rewarded than a night in orr. it clearly shows what they think of the wvw-players (alas this is also old news)

question:

any guilds on drakkar who aren’t play in a paintrainzerg and not in a size from 30+ ?

Don’t tell me you are discovering the way of Drakkar only know ?

-They don’t move around with less than 60+ man zergs and openfield ACs/Ballista EVER unless they don’t have the numbers (they even have those or more at 2/3/4/5/6/7 in the morning, so Good Luck in finding when they don’t…. :p).

- They NEVER engage if they aren’t AT LEAST 50% more than you or their back to their tower/keep full of siege

- They camp your spawn with 10+ siege everytime they can because it’s “fun”

- They run from forces with half their numbers if they aren’t back to a Tower/Keep

and so on and so on…..

It’s sad and probably the most boring way of playing ever, and it ruins it for everyone else. :/

oh you poor baby, tell us where the big bad man touched you!! or are you one of those professional forum whiners from RoF (they have a lot of these). did you ever considered, that it’s all a matter of perspective (when outnumbered against Baruch, there are people on DL, who bring the same “arguments” as you did.

@Tearzone: AFAIK IF and ODZ where two seperate Guild Raids with minimal cooperation, and ODZ was runing a special event with their alliance guild DARE (aka randoms)

on topic: yesterday on Dzago HL, the zergs we encountered during our event-raid where as big as ours. and we didn’t run that much. it’s hard to run after some drinks during the banquet.
was a fun evening with beer and bags!

i see, the RoF whiners are still competing with RoS for “whiners of the year”. if both your servers would put all their effort in game instead of this forum, who knows …

We have to try for something since drakkar already safely secured…

- Most arrow Carts in 1 keep
-Most money spent on fortification upgrades in 1 week
-Server to lose the most t3 keeps in 1 week
-Most open field siege in regular meetings with zergs half their size
-Most times running away when seeing a guild tag
-Server to field the most upscaled rangers
-Least amount of respect for people duelling
-Server with the most mesmers who regularly die at water gates and get ressed when people are watching.
-Server with the most guilds that transfer to enemy servers LA to patronise them.
-Most Boring server to fight
-Highest effort to compete for PPT (on par with vizu)

Thank you for proving my statement true!

Thank you FoW for your fighting spirit, and the nice fights our guild had yesterday evening on your Borderland.

And for not whining about every action (or non-action) DL makes in this matchup.

In my opinion, the price for the whiniest server in this season is proudly earned by RoS.

had a nice guildraid yesterday on surmia HL. Thanks to WVW and others for the nice fights.

it seems as the achievement frenzy died down a bit, so the real wvw players can finaly have a go at each other.

Agrios.9071:

Drakkar lake guild fight tactic: run away to the spawn if its 20 v 15, engage when its 70 v 15.
LDH gets the kitten award of todays raid!

they couldn’t run away with 20, cause they are a small 10-15 man guild!!

wasn’t here for a week, had to serve in the army. But still the same people whining about drakkar, still massiv queues and still no fun or playing with my guild.

replaying anno1404 atm

Shadowresli.3782:

Haven’t had the pleasure to play during reset or saturday, but we had a guildraid yesterday evening. Good fun and good loot.

We could whine about RoS nightcapping, cause after all the trashing you did to us, about blobbing, no skill and camping, it only would be fair.

two things to mention
- nice fights against FRS around their spawntower on our homelands
- RoS has some very bad apples who cheated themselves into both northern Towers on our Homelands, Guildtag [KOBW]

Was it sunny? Or I do not know what colour you play but you know the tower I think. Because some on my server were talking about this too.

we play green this week, and i know, that sunnyhill has issues. but at cragtop there isn’t a way top bug inside, afaik.

Hule.8794:

Do not change system of waypoints until defending will have same rewards as attacking. Bacause now it is hard to find defenders in lower tiers.

so much this!!!!!!!

aspirine.6852:

Well it seems there is no one with some skill on that drakkar server. Too bad..

why?

no waypoints doesn’t dicourage zerging. it will further the karma train mentality even more. Let them take it, we can retake it in 5 minutes!
As long as defensive actions aren’t equally or better honored, than offensive play, there won’t be any incentive to even stand in a tower or a keep, even less to build some defensive weaponery or upgrade the structure.

Also the way, wp’s work at the moment, give outnumbered servers a small chance to defend something.

Royce Melborn.3276:

aspirine.6852:

I will be glad if this matchup is over, not to insult any wvw players from drakkar but I have never seen such players in my whole time playing gw2.
You run from everything unless you outnumber 10-1 and only engage when you have way superior numbers. Really sad..

I think none of us have ever seen a matchup with ridiculous players like that but I give Drakkar the benefit of the doubt and blame the WvW season achievments.

Nice of you to paint everyone with the same brush! (or not, thanks Royce) And we know the feeling, for us it’s the same when we play against Fort Ranik, or Baruch Bay. All runners, no fighters!
I think a lot of the real wvw crowd was twinking, farming goods for ascended weaponery, farming gold in dungeons or doing other laissurely things. When in WvW we tested new builds, or did some Living Story Farming or map completion.

On the other hand, i have to admit, i’m a very bad 1vs1 player (to old and stiff) and run mostly group builds, so i also may run to the next tower, if confronted and not in the mood to test my skills.

where did you found opponents?? we had to ressort to these new pve events in wvw, so that our guildraid wasn’t too boring.

please explain queues to me? is that the time you have to wait in CoF between choosing the way and actually starting it (that diminishing red bar)??

i hope all the achievement hunters are through by end of the week! we tried to have a guildraid yesterday evening, after our missions, and it took about an hour until we were all 20 on the same map.

the real wvw players are standing in queue, farming dungeons and temples for crafting mats and gold, to craft their ascended weapon, leveling twinks, etc.

and give the “GvG” idea a chance, or why do you think it won’t work?

i will comment on that, manul.

it’s called beginners evening, it’s mostly on thursday, from 20.00 to 22.00 and it’s to explain wvw to beginners and newcomers. they discuss tactics, explain siege weapons and how supply works.
the normal wvw crowd is aware of this event and doesn’t go on our HL on such days, because there are not enough people to help defend things. As these events are communicated in our forum and in LA there is a possibility, that dazgonur knew about this (cause they speak the same language as DL)

But if RoF had also tried to take something from us, you would have painted our HL as easy as Dzag. Why haven’t you?? To tired from flaming about nonexistent collaborations on the forums?? to all you RoF crybabies, read the post from your fellow RoF member Hule and spend a little more time in WvW and a little less in here whining, it does wonders for your points.

/end rant

i’m really interested, how RoS will fare against one (or two) of the current top matchup (RoF/Dzag/DL)?
We will fight them in the 4. week.

could finally play again yesterday. but isn’t that much fun atm. to zergy, to many achievement-hunters, to long to wait in queues. Only finished my 450 kills and moved on

had some LOVE and another guild (BGD something) on our HL yesterday, at least something to pace up the heartbeat.

Knighthonor.4061:

the problem is in the game design. the game rewards offense in every way, from PvE to WvW.

DPS and Offense is always rewarded over support and defense. people play and want to be rewarded in some way. that gives pleasure.

THIS!!!!!

i’m still missing the 500 kill achievement

but a lot of nice fights, a lot of loot for everyone, i think there isn’t much we can complain about.

but another day without TaG, i’m nearing withdrawl. but we weren’t able to run as a guild, our commanders had to run the publics and so we helped them. So sorry, if you saw us in DL blobs.

we played RoF BL, sorry. But we will see you during the season, at least for 4 matchups …

and we won’t be always easy loot for TaG

and kudos to HxH for farming the PVE Achievementhunters in your jumpingpuzzle, a really worthy thing to do for a guild …

Shadowresli.3782:

where are all these players coming from. Last week i never saw so much people from RoF. But a lot of fun and bags …

I guess from a guy in Drakkar’s point of view would see it as “Oh my god even numbers for once.. Everyone back to Garrison to build 30 AC’s!!”

no, its a simple statement. we fought RoF already last week, and even on reset, there weren’t that many of you. (and of us for that matter). and about defending garrison, ask ranik sometime

@Bratwa: What about ODZ?

Zumy.6318:

Dont worry, I heared US ppl are very openminded towards foreign languages and learn them fast.

Oh boy, I already see a MC Donalds in every corner of LA on FR.

you mistook McD with Starbucks

with pleasure (and tongue)

and now back to topic please, or this thing gets closed …

LunarNacht.8913:

It seems we get more silver now. They probably replaced the badges with silver. Good stuff. On most merchants one badge is like one silver anyway. Having 10k badges or more is just pointless in the rest of the game…

Thanks for the change.

you know that you can get a lot of exotic armor types for badges (as someone who twinks, or sometimes experiments with builds, this was a nice thing)

If any man present has good reason that this couple should not be joined in marriage, let him speak now or forever hold his peace.

i pronounce you BT general and Kryank

Sorry, slow afternoon in the office

IMO DL is missing atm an awe-inspiring Guild like TaG on RoF with zergbusting abilities. we have dedicated players and small guilds who know their business, but we have to depend to much on our numbers

Therefore we may be a contender, but settlement is at the end, so we will see.

yeah, it felt a bit like a dialogue between TaG and a few others … Don’t you guys have a Guild Homepage to discuss on??

But i’ve a feeling we will see us some more, the next couple of weeks

Genotix.6804:

Also Drakkar in general has the nicest people posting at forums.
So nothing wrong with Drakkar

i try my best to be civil and make trenchant statements (with the extensive help from a dictionary … ) and GH would be my server of choice to play, if i would switch back to an international server, lots of fighting, good spirit

Dzago is the great unkown, it’s been a while since we played them, and when 2 german servers clash, everyone there is extra motivated

and now, show me on the doll where the big, bad german from drakkar lake touched you.

Where is this aversion for german servers coming from? (FYI there are not only germans on this servers…)

OT: Drakkar previously lost a lot of WvW oriented guilds to other servers and is recuperating. Therefore the accusation of tanking is a bit harsh.
And for the german onslaught during primetime, this isn’t really a choice we have, we all play during 1 timezone while most of us have similar work or school schedules. Even we have to win our points during our playtime.

who will win bronze league? only time will tell

What annoys me is the fact, that before we received a fixed ammount of silver and badges, and then some greens and/or siege blueprints.

There was no need to mess around with the fixed things! It’s ok to spice up things for the other two items, but the rest should stay.

But as stated many many times in this forum, no love for WvW players

know the feeling, our guildraid started on RoF, but one of our first moves was to help our homelandcrew to defend hill against … :-)

sadly we didn’t got your bay. but kudos to TaG, you are a hard nut to crack, i feel reminded of the mya and ECL guilds, some months back.

Never play (WvW) on Patch Day.

Was a bit shocking as some of us got one-hitted on RoF Bay, as a messmer jumped on them. and it seems, that TaG plays every BL during an evening, or i’m just paranoid.

i played til midnight CET, perhaps they fixed that afterwards?? cause my guild mates had the same problem.

Still no reactions??
I know, it’s a german server (a lot of austrians and swiss, too) and there may be a language barrier. a lot of us are capable to understand and talk some english (in my case even a little french).

we also have cookies!

Since the Patch, there aren’t any Badges of Honor in our WvW – Rank Chests. Did i miss something in the patch-notes?

it seems, all RoF can do is whine about something. With Ranik in the mix it was about blobbing, now it’s about altF4. Kudos to Blacktide for their spirit

i heard the first one was true

Yeah, some nice fights against TaG, and kudos to the TaG guardian mimiking a quaggan in our bay, had to salute you.
Finally a match agains RoF without big blobber watching us.

and we have fun til 3 in the morning :-)

yeah, nice fights. Wasn’t our regular guild raid, so some of us ran with sub par build. but SoW is one of the only memorable guilds on Ranik, the other is dova … :-)
wasn’t really our intention to run, we don’t normaly do that.

this blobs have their advantages, they drop good and give WXP. its like karma train and PvD, but with people.

Unless they call all maps (100+ blob) and push us out of their bay, in two trys

poor, poor raniks. they even send a zerg to claim the bloodlustbuffs. it must be hard, to have so little skill…

what amazes me is the hostility here towards the GvG community, cause most of these guilds are really dedicated WvW players.
