Guild Wars 2

OdS or TCHU.

Dyno.9467:

Looking at the overall coverage Gandara should be in Gold, they’ve got much more coverage than us and are more organised, apart from 5-9 am

1/10 cheers for the laugh though!

This matchup has everything!

The people that like fighting for points and the league competition have a close matchup.
The people that like guild roaming have some fun guilds to come across in battle.
The people that like to solo have plenty of roamers to fight from all servers.
The people that like to troll the forums can get plenty of bites.

It’s win-win people!

Cheers for the fun fights on fsp bl tonight! That Desolation defense was pretty strong on the lord cap points!

For scouting I would strongly recommend the following:

Greatsword / Sword/x – for movement
At least 20 in Discipline – for Mobile Strikes
At least 10 in Defense – for Dogged March
Melandru Runes and / or – % Condition Duration food
Signet of Rage, x / Warhorn or Warrior’s Sprint for +% Movement Speed

For tanking:

x / Shield – for blocks
One or more of Defy Pain / Balanced Stance / Signet of Stamina / Dolyak Signet to keep you alive.
Shield Master / Cleansing Ire / Defy Pain are also worth thinking about

So mix and match and see what fits you best.

just roll a warrior and use mobile strikes duh!

had a lot of fun Saturday and Sunday solo roaming with my rainbow coloured warrior, see you out there during the rest of the week!

Cheers for the duels last night on Gbl. Will be mostly roaming solo this week so hope to see you out there with my rainbow warrior lol

GG [YaK], that was much harder than I expected. Big props, see you next time! And please unlock your characters so we don’t need to cancel rounds lol

only if your ele gets a better connection lol! hah yeah was really fun, took a little while to get our groove on but the later matches were very close with some great play from both teams. its a shame we won’t get to face you again until after the first season is over.

thanks to WBC for the fights too!

Spent most of this matchup dueling and running funny test setups, special mention to the FR SoW warrior who farmed me repeatedly. Good luck in your next matches!

A bit o’ blue for t’dads

Victory.2879:

Was stuck on FS BL last night while we had two guild raids pointlessly running about looking for the oppositions guild raids to run into each other and gather loot bags/become them. Massive queues during prime time meant I couldn’t escape.

Whilst the guild ‘raids’ were on, no comm tagged until near the end which attracted 10-15 people.

For the entirety of the time the guilds were on, we held exactly one camp, one tower. Then after the small pug group spent the time knocking down the gates we finally waved carrots at the guild raids who condescended to grace us with their presence to fight inside bay and take it (as there were defenders to kill).

I’m sure the guild fights were great fun, but they contributed almost nothing to the score for the whole evening, and in a match up that is this close that could really have hurt the server. Watching one ‘melee train’ fight another ‘melee train’ was about the most tedious thing I have seen in wvw, Stop, Buff. Charge. Hammers. Press 1, press 1, press1. Stop. Buff. Keep in a ball. Water fields. Blast. Wells. Yawn. Why people still stand and wave at it from the front I have no idea- they are quite easy to beat on an open field with a bit of co ordination as the balling up is also their downfall, as is the reliance on the the eles and necros who tend to be on the wings, and the ball tends to focus all it’s damage to the front.

As soon as the guild raids were over a comm tagged up and we were able to have some nice fights and actually hold on to some points as well.

To be fair, guilds have the right to decide if they tag up or not. You could always ask the reasons why to them directly, but having a bit of a vent in a public forum also ‘hurts the server’. I understand it can be frustrating but you have to accept that people will have different aims and goals from wvw, otherwise you’ll end up a ball of rage lol!

It’s a shame you weren’t on AG borders, we had 3 guild ‘raids’ all tagged up and held 75% of the map all evening.

Silent Shino.7239:

Gandalf; we meet again <3

You son of a kitten

Elona / Riverside is going to the wire!

less than 100 points in it with an hour and a half left!

glad everyone is nice and fresh for reset

Gandara v FSP v Aurora is literally one blob accusation away from imploding and that’s before it’s even been created.

Well such an accusation would result in mutual assured destruction so maybe the Nash equilibrium might deter people for at least a few days.

fingers crossed!

Gandara v FSP v Aurora is literally one blob accusation away from imploding and that’s before it’s even been created.

lol 4 bites

sorry i was just teasing

Shocks! Spills! Surprises! This league has it all folks!

Underworld Vs Gunnar’s Hold Vs Abaddon’s Mouth [DE]
Gandara Vs Far Shiverpeaks Vs Aurora Glade
Miller’s Sound [DE] Vs Desolation Vs Fort Ranik [FR]

Whos your pick for this week? Which matchup thread will have the most drama for onlookers to laugh at?

Is now a good time to recall how AM mysteriously dropped so much ranking before the league started?

looking forward to part 2 of this match in week 7!

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

I gave someone an autograph.

Framed and hanging in my shrine!

I mailed someone a Strawberry who was asking for free stuff in LA.

can’t say i echo the ‘great fights’ sentiments above because the skill lag has really favored the side with greater numbers this week which has made roaming as a guild pretty frustrating. Hopefully when we meet again in week 7 there will be less skill lag to contend with!

However the massive battles that have happened in prime time were a nice throwback to the days when every server had a decent wvw population and it was fun doing some commanding of my own again.

Overall the scores are a pretty fair reflection of the match in general, close but Desolation just having enough in the locker to pull away.

See you out there tonight!

Coarr.3286:

That’s what you get for being ranked number 1 in the league.

Desolation will be green every time unless they face AM

Gandara will be green every time unless they face Desolation or AM.

Aha! Hey Antiwipe! It’s Mr Whiskers

Cheers for the explanations!

whooo that Fort Ranik night tick is a scary prospect!

So tight for 2nd in the Gandara / Abaddons and the Gunnar’s / Miller’s matches, who will triumph??

cheers for the fights and fun on deso border tonight, denied my garrison golem rush though!

just a couple of thoughts / questions / ideas

is EM really worth losing out on 2HM? I don’t know your playstyle but for me the odd extra stack of might or two for you and your allies (are you going to be stacked together all the time? with 11% crit chance how often will you even trigger it?) isn’t worth losing out on cooldown reduction on all the weapon skills in your build.

will boon duration runes be as useful as something like soldier runes if you are running shouts anyway? then you could look at SY! as an option instead of HTL! The increase in Vit and Tou from the runes means you might be able to free up some more stats from somewhere?

is renewed focus as useful as healing book in wvw group play? again depends on your playstyle but with such high healing power it might be worth seeing if it is a better option for your team?

Amelia Knox.9362:

Fsp vs Fort Ranik it’s very good thread.
Deso vs Gandara it’s less nasty.

all the juicy ones got deleted!

:D

So early impressions then?

I’m really enjoying the Deso V Gandara & FSP V Fort Ranik forum wars, some real low blows being dealt in those threads so far!

I recommend moving this to the warrior forum to get a more balanced point of view on the issue.

hah im just yanking your chain

it’s probably been as fun on your side as it is on ours during prime time (ie not very much).

We’re just not compatible servers, we’ll never make it to the honeymoon stage unlike our delicious looking matchups with the rest of the ‘mid table’ servers in the league.

Dyno.9467:

Strange server Gandara….You were crying when you were 20k ahead now your crying cause your being massacred by Deso’s finest.

So what do you want? Group hugs?

shame ’Deso’s finest’ wake up at midnight.

thats right. i’m bringing night capping into the thread.

Glorious Gold

1. Viz
2. SFR
3. Piken

So So Silver

1 Abaddon
2 AG
3 Gandara

Shameful Bronze

1. Drakkar
2. Dzagonur
3. Ring of Fire

does anyone else think the term ‘guild movements’ makes it sound like the digestive system? Guess Vabbi is at the smelly end of my analogy.

lol I think this spicy thread sets up the league nicely.

ah great news that Mya are around!

mega lolz (fifteen characters)

White Raven.4368:

Thought I’d see what was going on,my first WvW since Bloodlust was brought in.Took my [cough…cough] unused Warrior into Eternal.And was very impressed by what I saw.

Very impressed.

The sleeping giant awakes.

;)

For me the Gandara Vs Piken Square Vs Augury Rock T3 trilogy will be hard to beat.

Hopefully the upcoming weeks will have some more classic matches & encounters that we can look back on with fondness.

Start your engines ladies and gentlemen!

Bloodwort MacFangho.4638:

I know you guys are carrying on a serious discussion here, so, apologies in advance, but the ‘O’ level chemist in me is screaming to be let out:
“Ag for Silver league top rank!”

Showing your age a bit there mate

but very good!

Valkjre.5401:

Oh Space, do not twist the words friend, its been long since we faced gandara, miss those weeks long of same tiers <3.

Well, Junk or not we are happy with what we have and we tend to keep it this way. ;o)

:D

I remember the Christmas Day GD, PS, AR matchup like it was yesterday. Time flies fast!

But yes don’t want to derail your recruitment thread too much. Good luck going for that top spot.

Thanks Troma, we’ve certainly had some practice trying to cap T3 keeps this week!

Looking forward to clashing with the guild groups!

strict wvw community? what happened to the roleplayers?

My suggestion

Give the lord a buff when resurrected by a player skill that makes him immune to all player skill revives for 2, 3, 4, 5 minutes (whatever seems reasonable).
