GM of [VP]
Venator Phalanx.
Here is how you keep the [PHZE] zerg occupied for a little while.
Scary bunch!
Advanced Tots Tactics 101:
When getting blown up by a stealthless thief, it’s time to unleash the META ZERG!The RH tag has that effect on people.
“OMG!! Guyz! There is one RH over there!! Get the server over here!! WAIT! He’s looking at us? RUN!! RUN AWAY!! O.o”
Hmmm .. We like to run towards anyone running the RH tag.
It’s just cause we really miss you though.
Haven’t seen too much of you guys along with RISE this week, would have liked to have had more fights with you.
Maybe our guildies that roam have had more luck.
/salute
Have [RH] multiplied since the last time we fought you guys? Sure there were more than 5 of you last night.
And bloody hard to kill as always.
/salute
I actually wasn’t on that night, but I heard we had a decent sized group going. We’ve only grown by about 5 or so members since our last matchup (we don’t really recruit at all) but people have been coming on a lot more the past few days.
I think we have just over 40 members total at this point, and that’s just the way we like it
P.S. I’m looking forward to fighting you guys at some point this week. I have all these Dragon Bash fireworks now, so combined we can have a whole show!
Sounds good to me
We have been in EBG mostly so far during the week, not our normal haunt. Hopefully we can get back to the borderlands soon.
Looking forward to it.

So. It has come to this then has it?
I’m getting messages sent to me, calling me names, hoping that me and my children get cancer.
I’m out!
You can go stew in your own importance and revel in the fact that you have wrapped up all your self worth and self esteem in a kill/death ratio of an online game.
Really not worth my time.
Ok. You are obviously sore about something, so let me try and figure out why.
Firstly, we are not a roaming group and we do care about our PPT, so the fact that we took your Bay was helping us out a lot and was the first priority for us.. Our original intention was to come to your map to look for some good fights but that changed when it was so easy to take your Bay.
You mentioned that we came out. Yes we did come out, flanked round the back of you, took out your siege and every one of you trying to defend it. Might this be the source of your soreness perhaps? Your long walk back from spawn?
We did retreat back to Bay after that and the fireworks did come out, but thats us just having some fun and not meant as a slight in your direction, which you have obviously taken it as.
I did say in my post that we lost bay to BP so saying it again achieves what? Makes you feel better about the whole thing I guess.
Anyway, VP will defend what we have on a map before going for the fights. That is how we play the game.
Your comment about “elite guild”, we have never proclaimed ourselves to be some kind of elite guild and would never presume to give ourselves any kind of title or tag. It is up to others to make judgements on this kind of thing, but as long as we strive to have a reasonable reputation within the DR community, then thats good enough for us.
The facts of that encounter are these.
You put up siege.
We wipe you and your siege.
We retreat to defend our keep.
You have sore cheeks and decide to have a go at us on the forums.GG
You know, siege doesn’t count as people, so killing the siege doesn’t count as “wiping” us. You guys downed 1 person who we revived before we got the finish. Maybe if you had bothered focusing your attacks on us, you may have done better considering there were only 4 of us up there at the time you attacked the siege. Instead, you hit the siege and then ran back in having lost a few in the process.
Since you admit to caring more about the ppt, (seriously? DR and HoD are both getting smacked in that department) then what you did was foolish in regards to pve as well. Since we had control of the supply camp and bay had no supply, we could keep hitting. You would have been better off killing us and taking control of the camp, then repairing the wall and setting up defenses.
Since you seem to have trouble with the pvp aspect of wvw as well as the pve aspect of wvw, may I suggest Southsun cove?
Thanks for all the advice.
I will make sure I create some notes from your teachings and create a Powerpoint presentation for our next guild meeting. It is sure to go down very well with the guys.
May I suggest you concentrate on your own strategy, and I will get on with VP’s. Why would we need supply if we only wanted to hold it for1 more points tick? Ummm, we didn’t need supply.
I can see that we will simply not agree on anything at all, and I don’t particularly want to waste my time replying to you any more soooo.
Good luck to you too.

We got you and your buddies that were chillaxing in Bay to actually come out and fight, and wiped you. Of course your intention was to take out our siege and scurry back to bay cuz you couldn’t comprehend we just wanted to fight, we didn’t give a kitten about taking bay. But after that engagement you ran back into bay and sat up on the wall shooting fireworks while your keep was taken in front of your faces. Which was my favorite part btw.Wipe us? Come on now. Behave please
How can we “scurry back to bay” if we have been wiped?
Please refrain from posting further as I fear you may hurt yourself in the process and that would make me sad.
/salute
You guys did hit us hard, I’ll give you that. Maybe if you tried to kill us first, not the siege, you would have succeeded. For clarification, scurrying back to bay refers to 3-4 that got away and ran inside bay and the rest of you regrouping there after you died. Anyway lets not sit in the past, we can move on from this. In preparation we will have fraps running so future encounters of VP can be recorded and used when you come to the forums being a pretentious kitten again.
It was the siege we were interested in, as we were attempting to hold Bay for another points tick, so it was highly successful for us thanks. Taking you guys out at the same time was just a bonus. I will give you that not all of us made it back into Bay, 5 of us did.
I really don’t think my original post was pretentious in the slightest. I do endeavour to be respectful, at least until myself or someone in my guild are disrespected.
Maybe you misinterpret this as being pretentious and I guess I can understand why you would.
Video evidence, always good but I am sure we will only see the highly edited win win win parts from your recordings as thats how you strike me as being on the forums at least.
Good luck out there.

[VP] had an enjoyable evening in HoD BL yesterday. We didn’t have many on, 7-8 of us and we were just out to see if we could pick some fights that didn’t involve a 30 man BP group for a change. SoCo were out causing trouble for HoD too and are always a welcome sight for us.
Tend to find less zergy stuff in the morning/early afternoon est time in HOD/BP that we love to play in, especially since we are usually not running more than a couple of us that early in the day
You guys know how I feel bout you VP guys! <3 Always love ya on the same map :p
If only I could give up my job and play whenever I wanted, would love it. A few of our guys like to roam in the enemy borderlands around that time and they do tell me it is much more fun, but most of us get on around the start of NA Prime so it’s a lot more zergy by then.
Missed you guys at our Tower Defence event on BP BL last night. Think Crixus recorded it though so we should have a video up shortly.
Seeya soon <3
/salute
It is beyond mildly embarrassing that we have fought ONE guild under 10 players this week. Graduate from zerg school already, challenge yourselves past relying on 15+ people to stay alive.
We did attempt to engage you tonight but we pulled a lot of others with us.
We aslo did try to stay out of your fights with the AD and NOQQ guys but some of the people following jumped in.
I am sorry for this but sadly, this is the way of things. If they aren’t in the guild and on on TS, it’s hard to stop them.
/salute
I wouldn’t be sorry nor apologize for it Lorek, nor stop them. Pretty much all night my little group only had 4 (1 BSTY/2 NoQQ/1 AD) and at one point got up to 6. Numerous times we would be fighting small unit stuff or against a zerg only to be added in on by KOM and/or PAXA when fighting enemies. They didn’t hesitate to add in so you shouldn’t either. They continue the advocation for small man but no honor of honoring those that are fighting small man on their part so why should anyone honor leaving their small man fights alone on our side when they add in themselves all the time no matter the circumstances.
Zizanzi (Stylii)
(NoQQ) Leader
ADNoQQBsty AllianceSorry but we never seen any AD or noqq with less then 8 tonight.
You can’t be serious. :/
I’ve enjoyed the fights so far, and would have never said anything had Stylii not run his mouth about adding in on fights and talking about this ridiculous honor code we supposedly had in place. It would be one thing to not jump in on a fight involving another small-man group, but after seeing 8 or 9 of you guys sit outside our spawn and try to attack 3 of us, why should I adhere to any sort of rule?
Again, you read into it the way you wanted to see it on the honor code. NEVER did I say there WAS an honor code in place. Just the opposite, I said there ISNTone in place and told my fellow (VP) people, who were trying to adhere to an honor code, to go ahead and attack since there wasnt a “CURRENT” standing agreement. Come on and get your rosé color glasses off and see it for what it is. I really don’t care if there is an honor code or not, kill or be killed is how I feel NO matter the numbers matchup when fighting on the field.
Since you vehemently exclaim there are no other small mans, besides the one you fought the other day, I don’t see the need for any such agreement. Continue business as usual.

…
Defended it against a reasonable amount (10-12 maybe ?) of HoD at south gate for a while. Managed to flank and take out their siege on top of the roof of the camp, but there was no supply in Bay so we were not planning on keeping it.
There were 8 of us and a non-guildy that was following us. That was your chance at an even numbers fight and not a 30-man zerg. Maybe next time you’ll actually come fight us… or were you just looking for roamers to gank or something?
I’m sorry, but I do not know who KOM are and I do not remember seeing you at all. I may be wrong but I have asked the guys.. and they don’t rmember you either.. Unless that was you guys failing at south bay gate? Where you there or are you wanting us to come find you or something?
With regard to your “just looking for roamers to gank” remark, you obviously have no idea who we are either.
I will be sure to look out for your guild tag from now on and say hi when we see you.
/salute
I have a very good idea of who you are. Yesterday we pushed onto you at the sentry point with 8 guys and your 7-8 guys bolted to bay and then sat there. We were hoping for a good fight so we tried to coax you out by building a catapult. You came out alright, but only to hit the siege then run right back into bay.
You wanted to play keep-defender instead of getting an even-number fight and still lost bay 5 minutes later. We had a good laugh about that.
So don’t go around saying you wanted to fight something that wasn’t a 30-man BP zerg, because you had the opportunity but decided to turtle instead. So if you don’t want to fight a zerg and you don’t want to fight even numbers, you only have ganking roamers left.
You must truly be an elite guild then, zerging those sentry points and the occasional underlevelled ranger.
Ok. You are obviously sore about something, so let me try and figure out why.

While on route to the NW camp we decided to check out Bay and were surprised to see it was paper. Sup ram went up and we had the gate almost down before we were spotted. Gate down.. we pushed in and wiped the few that were there.
SW inner next, sup ram up and got it to 20% before being pushed back into the water. Defended Briar next, then it was going to be a tour of the northern camps.
Passing by Bay again we notice that HoD had not repaired very well, so in we go and 2 mins later, its a nice shade of green.
Defended it against a reasonable amount (10-12 maybe ?) of HoD at south gate for a while. Managed to flank and take out their siege on top of the roof of the camp, but there was no supply in Bay so we were not planning on keeping it.
What we didn’t see was that group of BP capping it while we were entertaining HoD at the south wall
Hope HoD got it back soon after WvW restarted cause any red on either HoD or DR BLs should be dealt with swiftly if possible.
Thanks for the fights.

Sorry Deth, VP could not make it for gvg tonight, we had only 8-10 guys, expected about 5 for tonight actually, cant do proper tactics with that on gvg, but we manage to hold your bay for few hours, and still holding, of course we had few DR guys helping out later on.
Thanks for fight FC, good timesHurrah for posting Crixus!! This was an amazing 2 hours here, we held FC Bay against the odds. Just goes to show you Siege really doesn’t help with offensive strikes.
Well, siege does help with offensive strikes unless you can couter it effectivly, which we were able to do for a long time last night at FC Bay.
VP are suckers for a bit of open tower/keep defense, we do like it more than we really should, so I say lets get rid of all the walls
Seriously though, thanks to everyone that was there at FC Bay last night, including the FC zerg, you changed up your tactics a few times and put up a bloody good fight.
/salute
You IoJ types better hope your Oceanics don’t rent a beach house with no internet, or you would be sitting 3rd, and leaving your present tier. It is nice as usual to see the IoJ commanders sucking up to another server in hopes of an alliance to compensate for their poor primetime. The question here is will it take flowers and chocolates? What will DH think if they see you around going all snuggletums with FC?
To FC- as you can probably tell, our first pick is IoJ as far as wrecking homelands goes, as that is straight where we went on reset. Mon night DDLG was in IoJ BL, and last night we were mainly in DR BL. It has been good fighting you guys, and you have done much better than IoJ in countering us open field. Perhaps if we went Akitten for 5hrs and transformed into doors, IoJ would do better against us in the open field.
Well from my point of view, we do as much damage (as we can) to IoJ as we do to DR in EB. We just retaliate against DR more often in their BL since they pay our BL frequent visits (especially paving the yellow brick road to our garrison). I know each person has their own “prime time” and that’s why you think that DR is paying IoJ homelands more visits than FC, but if you look at the graphs in the above posts there is a certain trend going on that whenever there is a spike in the green line, there is an accompanying dip in the red line….
From a purely tactical point of view, it makes sense for us to hit your garrison before it has a waypoint up as it makes your whole borderland much harder for you to defend, as I am sure you are aware.
This goes for IoJ’s garrison as well. My guys will be trying to take out any Tier 3 towers and keeps on both enemy borderlands first as it weakens the defending team significantly. Much harder to defend your borderland when everything has paper gates, and FC were in DR’s borderland for a large part of last night and managed to flip pretty much everything. I fully expect this to happen to us as it is a very good tactic.
/salute
Had some fun last night on EBG, which is unusual for me or my guild to say as we do not frequent that map very often.
IoJ were camped in our keep and proving extremely difficult to clear out as they seemed to be able to counter our zerg wherever they were going.
Had to resort to some sneaky tactics to distract IoJ enough to give us a chance to get our stuff back. So off we went, our band of 8 merry men, and a couple of friends, on a little adventure around the map, hitting everything that was blue, including the IoJ keep watergate. Not with the intent of taking it, just to try and pull some of the force they had on the map, back to where they belong.
Then it was back over to our keep to sneak in through our watergate but there were still a ton of IoJ in there.
Picked off a couple of towers then, sorry to the FC zerg that was taking Wild Creek, feel kinda guilty for stealing that from you at the last minute. Props for venturing down into the chaos that was our corner of the map though.
Had to go back to the IoJ keep and this time re-enforcements arrived in the form of 2 DDLG golems, which finally created enough of a distraction for us to take back our keep.
Bloody hard fight all round. Well done to IoJ for making it so difficult for us to take stuff back in NA prime and also to FC who managed to grab SM from IoJ, was a good move.
Will be back to the other borderlands for us for a while, probably IoJ as they love us really
Oh… I don’t really get the whole animosity between IoJ and DR as we only transferred not so long ago but we used to fight against IoJ in T2 and you guys were not so…. let’s say.. vocal on the forums then, so I am sure I am missing something rather big in your eyes.
Thanks for the fights IoJ and FC and thanks for the 3v3 our guys had with some FC dudes yesterday on our BL. Your mesmer is a pain in the kitten to kill

GvG on WvW so… chunky
EDIT: Anet Queen Jennah demmands you to hoppen a tournament open to all realms on a real GvG arenas!
Information was obtained by Logan Thackeray before he runned away!
Would love GvG arenas. As long as they were not based on the sPvP system as it is terrible for anything other than sPvP. Limit of 30 people a side would be nice. Spectator mode like we used to have in the old guild wars game too.
Never gonna happen is it

Are you a tight knit guild team that always wins?
Bored of killing the puggles?
Then VP would like to invite you and your guildies to come and fight against us in a glorious GvG battle.
Try your skills in a 15-20 team. Winner decided in the best of 5 rounds. Food and other buffs allowed.
Reply to me on here or whisper me in game if you are interested.
We might only have 1 week left so don’t end up being the GM that is left saying “We could have probably taken those guys”. Prove it to yourselves and the rest of tier 7 instead.
Thanks
/salute
It is certainly unfair to say that GoM, as a server, does not have any skill or similar skill to the other tier 7 servers. They are winning aren’t they? Can we stop them? Nope!
If all they had was numbers we could easily throw a couple of arrow carts up on all our stuff and sit watching the TV while pressing 1 in the general direction of the GoM zerg.
We can’t do this. They know how to place siege well and let that do the work while they are off doing something more important, like re-supplying.
If you have the chance to use siege and you don’t, you ain’t doing it right. (Not talking about the whole roaming thing as I gather thats ‘just not the done thing’ in those scenarios)
I will say that larger population servers don’t tend to improve in such an unbalanced fight as we have at the moment and I hope that GoM gets a better fight when they move up a tier.
I am also impressed by the way GoM don’t give up mid week. They don’t decide to put down their swords and relax doing some CoF runs or stand around commanding in LA. They are out there making sure we all know we are in a fight for PPT.
Grats GoM. You deserve your win and good luck in your next tier when you get there.

Snow Ghost, as I tried to explain earlier. I have absolutely no problem with your group or any other coming after me, especially if I am on your way to other location. I was pointing out a thief who would jump me and then run back into your group. The final time, he got some support by others before he made it back up to the group. I was simply doing a little trash talking towards him.
My statement was just to clarify our outlook on these things and not specifically directed towards you, hence I did not quote you, although it has all come about from you being annoyed with one of our thieves, who may have tried to kill you in an opportunistic fashion and realised it would be a harder fight than normal. I simply don’t know who it was so I do not have that information.
I trust I have made our position clear now.

Just a note about [VP].
We don’t as a group go out to hunt roaming players, but if you are on the way to where we are going and don’t get out of the road, fair game I would say.
I tend to find that when we run past a couple of roamers that are out looking for a fight, a lot of the time they try to pick off our squishy folk at the back, again, fair game.
If I see one of our DR roaming teams or individual players having a fight, I will try not to interfere with it but sometimes we have picked up a few people on our travels that are not in our TS channel and they may get a little over excited at the sight of some red name tags.
There are some roaming teams I won’t pass by though as they always pick people off and can multiply very quickly if you don’t smash them very hard a couple of times to get them off the map. This is purely from a tactical point of view. If these guys are stopping our re-enforcements from getting to us, they need to be dealt with.
Generally we are out looking for the 10-20 man groups for fights, as that is what we are interested in and I think we do ok. I personally would not call that zerg numbers but I guess it comes down to individual opinion on these things.
We will of course back up any guildie that needs it.
I do take exception to anyone calling us a mindless zerg though as we are far from it.
So if [VP] have attacked you and the scenario fits in with one I have described above, well.. now you know.
If [VP] or someone running with us have disrupted a fair fight or chased down an individual player, I do apologise, but sometimes it is unavoidable.

I don’t think we have a Charr Ranger.
I was thinking it was a charr, but on second thought, it was one wearing that hat covering the face. I was thinking of the charr guardian (probably you Glaeser right?) who teamed up with him later on.
Ah yes, that’s Northern the Norn Ranger. He likes fighting you and I remember him telling me about those fights now hehe. Yeah I’m the only Charr Guardian in the guild, always a pleasure fighting you.
Always fun running into you guys. Creates a nice challenge.
On a side note, nice mini zerg [VP] was running on our GoM BL last night. Whoever that thief was who kept jumping me, I want to give this word of advice. Just stay with your zerg when you see me. You aren’t in Tievo’s league so you are only going to get hurt trying to gank me.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I feel you are using the word “zerg” as a derogatory term in this particular instance?
You must be one of those roamer types that think a group of 10 is a zerg. I think that was the strike team out practicing
What is this Tievo thing you are talking about?
I will be sure to pass on your helpful comments to our thieves. They will probably just pass by and wave to you now I expect.

Little bit of VP on reset night for you all… Courtesy of our man Crixus.

Look forward to seeing you all out there again.

Wait, we just want to make friends with you !!!
Fun time messing around at NSP borderland. Thank you GoM siegerazer for defending completely destroyed bluelake while we had fun with fireworks.And thank YOU for making enough noise over at lake tower for us to go and flip the northwest tower!
Making noise…. Is kinda the whole point in the fireworks. Well, they are very pretty too. The amount of people that run away from them is ridiculous though and I am talking, jumping off bridges and cliffs to their death.
Bizzare but fun.
VP fun time at prime time, NSP BL yesterday.
I must say I was thoroughly amused by the fights with [VP] in GoM BL during prime time yesterday.
10-15 or so bunkered up in Astral with 5-7 of us outside while one of your guys spammed /laugh, only to be wiped a few minutes later by the sentry point near the tower.
And then there was a more or less even numbered fight at lake tower where we only had 2 people go down, but not a single one died.
Not meant to be a flame, but I will say that whoever the [VP] guy was spamming /laugh makes it look bad. Especially when you had twice our numbers at the time (we didn’t fight there, we waited until we met at that sentry point, but still). Obviously it was just one person, but it reflects on everyone wearing the tag, you know?
At Astral I did not see any of us laughing but I am sorry if that was the case. I will make sure this doesn’t happen again. We do not do this as a guild, although we do enjoy our fireworks.
With regards to you wiping us at the guard point, this was a bad move on our behalf as we split up and did not have a clear strategy in place, but please don’t try to pretend that it was only [RH] that was there at that point. You massively outnumbered us at that fight.
At lake tower you failed to mention that we wiped you and your siege on 2 separate occasions. I do give you that on the second occasion we didn’t wipe you all because you were too quick to run off in the direction of the water and we had 2 walls down on the tower we were defending to get back to.
I am trying to understand why you felt the need to post about [VP] on here. Does someone laughing provoke you that much or was it that, last night, we came out on top of [RH] and you are understandably a little sore about it?
I would like to say that [RH] are one of the more organised guilds we have come up against and clearly care about their servers ppt. I am sure we will meet again soon and look forward to some good fights.

Now this would have been an even number fight, but they make a really bad decision to engage us next to a friendly tower where people who were not with us entered into the fight.
That was their decision. They came after us. Instead okittennowledging that they made a bad decision, instead… well, yeah… you know. They got zerged. Once I realized we had so many friendly adds I marked off the win was meaningless. It’s just another example of them engaging us, losing, and blaming it on getting zerged rather than blaming it on their own bad decision.
Oh yes, and please forgive us calling them garbage players there at the end. Oh, no wait. They call us garbage players, we were actually still complimenting them. That’s how us DBs roll.
That was us [VP] that saw them standing outside our tower and attacked. Didn’t know it was even numbers fighting, and it wouldn’t really matter anyway. If they are close to our tower, they are a legitimate target and that won’t change, and we won’t apologise for going after them.
We are not particularly interested as a guild, in roaming or 5v5 fighting with Bunker/Spike builds, so if we attack SPCA or one of the other small teams, it is purely because you either got too close to something we find pretty, or you were in our way.
Oh yeah, and the way SPCA and others back stabbed us at the impromptu fight club a few days ago makes us not very inclined to let you live when we see you, whether we are running 5, 10 or 15 people. Was a scummy move on your behalf and I really enjoy seeing you get stomped as often as I can.
Cheers
Just to be perfectly clear, I would have liked it to be an even fight but I don’t blame anyone for jumping in. It was their fault for engaging us that close to the friendly tower not yours for jumping in as should be expected in WvW.
Understood

Nsp would of attacked us in tier 8 if they could, DR will always gang up on the server being attacked. I expect this to be the norm from now on.
It is not about ganging up on anyone. It is simple logic.
If you are the server that is fractionally in front of the second place server, the second place server has to attack you to stop you pulling out a further lead in points.
While you are being attacked by the second place server, this leaves you vulnerable and a much easier prospect for the third place server to pick up points.
There is no ganging up, it’s just the way a 3 server PvP game works.
I have seen groups of NSP and GoM on our borderland running right past each other and not attacking, and that is fine by me. They are there to take our stuff and not to fight each other. Won’t hear me crying about it, as I would rather push them off our BL instead.
Cheers for the fights. Keep em coming.

GoM and NSP continue to be good opponents.
GOM’s defense of their borderland was good this weekend, with solid turnout to make it hard to take much. Normally they were weak in the day, but not this weekend.
NSP had a really good counter camp team on their BL, arriving before the Supervisor died to roll our force. They got us in NW camp, SW camp x2-3. Started perimeter sweeping before taking camps because of that crew. Apologies to those on S wall for rolling them, but you were all NSP, and we were getting ambushed by you regularly.
Highlight for me was in NSP BL with a DDLG/VP force. We had SW tower. GOM was massed in ruins with cats, grinding down the walls of the tower. I took out 5-10 on a flank through lake to come in back side of ruins. When we emerged from the lake we saw SE tower being trebbed by NSP. Wall was 2 hits from going down, so our crew lined up and stormed in, getting lord down and holding in lords room as NSP crew came in. It was a hard fight but we held and capped. From there we portal bombed the GOM crew at the cats, and cut pressure there. NSP must have been mad because they rolled the paper doors on SE quickly after that.
It was a bit strange with squabbling with invaders in the enemies BL. For instance we got into it plenty with NSP on GOM’s BL, and we got into it with GOM on NSP’s BL.
Looking forward to more WvW this week.
We had a blast capping that tower and leveling GoM at the ruins soon after that.
More of the same please.
Thanks GoM and NSP for the fights and thanks DDLG for teaming up for the assault.

You do realise that the DR at hills were more annoying to NSP than GoM right? they kept wiping south supply that GoM so miserably failed.
Whats that…30ish golems? lost track. Keep em coming!
DR have seem to adopted this advanced wall-down-but-kitten-it tactic and evolved it one step further! Triggering seigerazer to take the gate down!
Gotta love the old advanced wall-down-but-kitten-it tactic. We just usually call it farming badges though
Keep up the good fights please, enjoying it very much.
Hi all
I am the GM of VP, a guild that transferred at the weekend to DR looking for better fights, and that is certainly what we have been having so far.
You will hopefully see us a lot more on the battlefield once we get a handle on how DH and IoJ operate normally, but for now we are just learning our new surroundings and having a little fun with new friends.
We don’t normally post on the forums so if you need to contact me for anything, a whisper in game would be best.
Good luck to DH and IoJ and I hope that we prove to be a worthy addition to DR’s ranks in the coming weeks.

yo comrades, are u the in the same guild as the Crixus guy or sthg? i remember him sayin that ur guild is transfering here which is cool, but no matter what tactic is if zoomhaven is using invul cata spot then /shrug., anyway, which timezone are u guys rolling?
Hi Mein. Yeah, Crixus is one of us, a good one too. We are mostly NA but I am EU and just pull shifts till stupid o’clock normally.
Not seen anyone use any of the invul spots yet, but it’s up to the devs to fix I guess. We don’t worry about it if it happens. We just go hit them somewhere else instead.

Dance video created by one of my guild members (Evidentz) and all credit goes to him for this.
Best GW2 dance video I have ever seen. Enjoy.

Please tell me some BG who read the forums were out at the NW tower in TCBL last night because oh my god I was laughing so hard I couldn’t concentrate and I hope you were too. We were going to mess around and catapult the tower from under the bridge. Naturally, we were caught, but not before an ele tried to slam into me and went over the cliff instead and died. That would’ve been enough and I’m sorry for my /laugh emote but it was just so amazing. Then I was trying to launch an engi off who was trying to stop us only to have 2 or 3 of my party including me feared off to our demise by a necro from above. As we are lying there dead, not 1, not 2, BUT 3 BG either jumped off on purpose or fell off the same exact cliff around our bodies one at a time. And, of course, died. Ahhh I’ll miss the kitten out of you guys. Serious shenanigans.
Did you get it on video? I wanna SEEEE
We ran into a bit of trouble up that way last night… Sounds very similar to what you describe. few of my guys ended up dead at the bottom of the cliff and the rest of us just as beaten up at the top. If it wasn’t us.. then the exact same thing happened to us TC really like that tower it seems. Was a good laugh trying to ninja it from them.
