Guild Wars 2

The trick is not to stand in the camp. You hide nearby and after the supevisor is engaged your just run by and try to cripple them or knock them down so the supervisor can smash them. You don’t always win, but if your smart you can delay them long enough for reinforcements to arrive. If theres a zerg coming, well you probably lost it, but at least you know where the zerg is.

I’m at 20,000 per 1,000 hours, which seems kind of high (20). Though I do spend alot of my time in wvw, I got a pretty late start. I have to assume there are people out there with much higher numbers.. Still it is pretty funny to think I kill 20 people an hour ;P

I’m coo with that you guys…

Tammuz.7361:

ya but 1 person can still shut down the camps supply delivery simply by camping outside and killing the yaks…

Upgraded supply yaks are 2x a normal yak… sadly its true that a single character can shut down the supply routes right now… guards on the supply trains are almost useless, and upgraded guards are useless too.

I think that now that bots are no longer the issue they once were and apparently they have the staffing to manage em even when you observe em: they should consider putting escort events for the yaks back in with a couple of changes. Make people be with the yak at check points if they want credit, (so 10 people dont just run in right as the yak is reaching their destination and get credit, or someone just go afk at a tower or keep and get credit for yak escorts).

I’ve noticed that TC and all the other T2-T1 servers sort of disagree on this point. Yes, one person can kill a yak pretty easily, which makes every yak you do get through that much more important. Having a double supply yak reach its destination has saved us so many times its kind of rediculous. This is why you find us defending our camps so much more than the other servers. Maybe thats why we love our dolyaks so.

Balfour.9046:

Not true, they focus on the one person, take that person out then proceed with the inept guards,

I guess my own experience doing it was all in my imagination, carry on.

Because 1 person can defend it from 3 people with those guards and the supervisor?

How bout TC can be McLovin?

Anyone else excited about reset? Friday at work goes soooooooo slow waiting for the epic battles!

And very few trolls .. well done all

You’ll also note the Tier 2 thread has the most views of any other match .. could be cos we’re all a bit nutty and it’s fun to read. I think of it more as we’re setting the bar

Im personally reading it to keep tabs on BG and Kain. To be honest, most posts from TC just clog up the thread with useless banter and nonsense about dolyaks. I understand you guys try to be silly or whatever but it paints your server as not being serious about wvw.

I find it silly that CDS doesn’t crack down on their forum warriors. Your gleader must get tired of coming back to apologize for you.

I normally don’t respond to these threads, but having played a fair share of guilds, not all, but a “fair share,” I think I can say with 100 percent certainty that HB is the best guild in game. Their knowledge and ability in open field, defense/offense are really just impressive to behold and I would think alot of guilds would want to emulate that. Plus, they have alot of class.

I think we will hold a Yak Parade in Tier 1 someday.

Banono.4597:

Jayne.9251:

Lol share with the class … I haven’t logged back in yet.

I think he or she is talking about how after we took Hills. We stripped down and swam to the Bay for a naked zerg.

I came here expecting pics.

I can neither confirm nor deny the naked zerg storm of Bay, photo evidence would indeed be interesting to say the least ;/

Welcome to Tier 2 [FoE]

Sorry, I forgot we had to change the open invite policy after last week…so as soon as Ellie is on I’ll tell her people are looking for invites.

Ellie will give more info for sure, but atm, I can invite anyone who needs into the [DOLY] guild, just msg me in game!

I know if you don’t think too far into it, it seems like a good idea, but its really not. It would create far more unbalanced matchups than currently exist. There are several much longer explanations to this but you will have to search the forums to find them.

I have always seen far more than others I’m surrounded by to the point I see people trying to abuse culling miles away when no one else seems to. I do have a great rig but I can’t say for sure why it is. It’s truly a benefit in wvw though being able to call out incoming often times before they can even see me.

Good fights [ICOA], [KNT] in KABL! I think we brought the server down, cya soon!

Falling asleep on your tower can be dangerous! Luckily we woke up just in time to play! Enjoy this Valentine’s Day Pictorial from [PiNK]!

Happy Valentines day from PiNK! We hope to be breaking many of your hearts tonight and possibly crushing some windpipes!

Due to your inability to work well with each other and play nice, Tarnished Coast is officially pulling your thread over and putting you each in a time out.

Now JQ, we know you’re the big guy now. With great power comes great responsibility, and that responsibility is to win with humility. You know how it is to fight an uphill coverage battle more than most, and now that you are on top, you should be more understanding of the effort SoR and SoS are putting in to stay competitive. People chose JQ because they knew you had it in you to win, and now its your time to shine!

SoS. You guys spent so much time on top, and even if you have lost many of those who helped your rise and maintenance of number 1, you are still a powerful threat when you mobilize. Take this opportunity to reinforce and rebuild your community and realize that even a drop in tier can’t take away your past successes.

SoR. You guys are the ultimate competitors. Your heart, like your namesake “Oldroar,” loved this game and it was his story that brought so many to fight by your side. That spirit is obvious in the amazing guilds and people you have and if you can only put aside a little of that pride, you will see you are still climbing that mountain you put in front of you, and you are closer to the top than you have ever been.

All of you deserve to be in Tier 1 fighting for number 1, and even if this moment in time finds the points pushed one way or another, we all know it can change in a heartbeat. Lets finish this week by recognizing each other’s strengths and valuing the time spent playing against arguably the best guilds in the game. Good luck!

Oh man, another video of dual dagger thieves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This almost fills my excitement quota for the day. Anyone have some footage of a bodybuilder throwing an 8 year old through glass windows?

Lol I dunno why the image of this made me lol so much.

I have a feeling TC will be out in full force tomorow.

Sunspots.9861:

The system works because sooner or later one server breaks or implodes and starts the long spiral downward. It shouldn’t be that long given the tone of that thread.

It’s hard being right all the time. The end of free transfers really only affects the people adverse to the concept of spending a little time or real money to have a chance at winning, which in T1, is probably nobody. But that’s the problem when the competition you create is based solely on who can have the most people on the most time, and not who plays the game the best.

Still, I hope its TC and Kain that get to welcome SoS into T2 because the added people to BG might boot us to T3 before SoS ends up in T2. Either way, we’ll adapt!

All it would really take is one guy, then maybe one guild, then one whole server to change the attitudes in T1. There are a tons of great people on all those servers having 24/7 awesome fights, but they mire themselves in endless arguments about words like “coverage” and “fair.” Those stupid arguments carry their way into each servers private forums, then guild forums, and before you know it, everyone is either having a bad time or trying to defend the fact that they are actually having a good time despite the percieved issue. Win the time your on, collect your badges, post a nice score update and go to bed…

SlasherX.5198:

URGE heading to sleep nice fight against WM and MEOW we hold you twice our numbers.. I love your style of pawning one group and portal bombing the other.. But we were able to counter it and out maneuver your tactics..

Man had enough of the kitten talk from you guys. U didnt have half our numbers, no u didnt out maneuver our tactics. Our coms r full of..oh its just urge no THAI we can take em and yes we do. Sure "sometimes’ you guys won a fight against us. but tbh ya nuffin special, so stop talking down MEOW. You guys need to learn to fraccin count if you think ya out numbered. Without THAI alliance we would walk all over the BL and we are only getting better, trying out new moves and stuff cus we wanna beat or be on par with THAI.

You need to remember its been easy mode for most of KAIN for last month+ alot of the guilds are only just starting to get back into the swing of 24/7 wvw and tactics.

So yeah dont see any MEOW on here calling out the kitten guilds we face…so pls dont go rubbing our name into the dirt.

Relax guy I didn’t read it as him calling you out, sometimes you just take it, then show it them on the battlefield who’s better ya know?

We were there! Crazy Lag but we had a feeling all sides had it, so nothing to worry bout ;P We were lucky to get it the first time, but we decided to trade it in for a fancy new top Tower!

Paris is sad that no Europeans want to transfer, but she will recover, and after enjoying herself last night at Flava Flav’s mansion, she is ready to party all night long!

Ketharius.9018:

There’s nothing more fun than everyone having fun

most funnest quote ever in the history of fun

If only RG would move to TC ;P

The system works because sooner or later one server breaks or implodes and starts the long spiral downward. It shouldn’t be that long given the tone of that thread.

Pretty sure the top tier is as close as it will ever be. You guys already have 90pct of the gw2 wvw population.

Having fun with [RISE] and [EA] on KABL. I think [ICOA] left but they we’re definately at the party. Thanks [KH] for being awesome also. Despite the lack of our oceanic, this really is a balanced NA. So much fun when every fight on the map is probably going to be a three way and any side can win.

BG Hills was a tough egg to crack, but we finally got it. Great fights from KNT and RE, two of the finest guilds in this match! For the coast!

Pinkus.2860:

Some of the best WvW i’ve played in a long time last night. Pretty sure NOC hit every map at some point haha. Shout out to KN Oceanics! Wish TC had more coverage so Tier 2 could be even more epic!

I think part of the problem is that among the limited population of people who are willing to wvw on a rp server, there is already a euro option in the unofficial European role playing server. But I hold out hope that at some point, some of the oceanic guilds in the over popped top 3 will decide to jump just to create 2 semi even tiers. I’m not holding my breath though ;p

They could make arrow proof glass that extends 10 feet above the lip of the wall, and heat seeking arrows that can fire around corners.

Okay good luck with your “discussion”

Historically there also weren’t magical spells either. You know this is fantasy right? By all means don’t learn to be better, continue dying on walls and asking anet for help.

Ragnar.4257:

Sunspots.9861:

There are tons of safe spots for siege and if you are standing on the walls during a siege you are doing it wrong. Siege warfare always favors the defense assuming the place siege intelligently and use it, including counter siege. I’d recommend checking Youtube, there are a lot of great videos on siege placement.

I wasn’t asking where safe spots for seige are. Please re-read.

Then what are you asking then, if anet can make it easier for stupid people to stand on walls? Sorry I’m a little confused by your post.

Frenk.5917:

While I don’t agree about the siege weapons I do agree about walls being useless for defenders. A fix could be:

1) Find a way to not to force defenders to stand on the very edge of the walls in order to effectively hit attackers. This would help to lessen the pulls and the effectiveness of the small AoEs, since only the largest AoE could hit defenders, who are no more forced to stand on the edge, who are trying to hit attackers.

2) Do not let defenders place AC in spots which are not reachable by attackers. This would mean that siege weapons could stil be placed in spots which are not within the range of the normal enemy AoEs but ARE within the range of e.g. enemy AC.

3) Provide a defense bonus for defenders on the walls. For example a 5% damage reduction for people standing in wooden walls, 10% in reinforced walls and 20% in fortified walls.

I tried to say it in a constructive way, but you didn’t read it? It’s not broken so it requires no fix.

You can’t really judge anything till about Tuesday but I will say from experience BG won’t likely step on the breaks, so if KA is playing normally and not trying to just stay up extra late, then it should be pretty close. As for TC, we will try our best to bring it every night, but we do plan on getting plenty sleep once na prime is over.

Someone mentioned earlier that we might have some say on who gets first, but it’s not really true. We play a very opportunistic game, which we learned from BG against SoR. If keeping you two engaged scores us more points, then we will side with whoever extends your conflict. This is after all what makes a 3 way battle fun, and how the losing team stands the best chance of having an impact. Great fights all!

kfarb.6732:

Where were all these pseudocivil RE posters last week? It would’ve made for a better matchup, I think. I hope you’ve truly changed them, TC.

They are doing well and certainly have proven at the very least they are suited for T2. The rest of the week will tell if they are T1! All the other stuff you’re talking about isn’t really wvw, its forum trash.

Paris Hilton loves [PiNK]! Here’s a score update as we run around KABL! Great fights all around!

Lol pretty sure TC could lose our top 3 commanders and not much would change. Certainly there would be less open field fights but this match is a slower more defensive one so far anyways. Just relax and have some fun KG!

Paris had a long night last night, but she is finally up and taking some aspirin. I think she’s going to be alright. We suspect “The Situation” might have roofied her, but luckily she has a huge tolerance built up over the years and is ready to get back in the ring tonight and start over!

engnayr.9150:

Ehh… I think we just get carried by WM. Even with all the NA guilds that transfered, the past 2 weeks, we have struggled to take the lead during reset night, and it is only when NA finally goes to bed that WM does the night-cap, giving us the lead.

Everyone knows that ultimately reset is meaningless to the total score, buttt….We at TC really take it seriously because its probably the most even you will ever have it in wvw. Supply is limited, siege is scarce, and knowing where the enemy is before they know where you are is sooo important. Winning reset, protecting your BL, keeping your garrison…thats what its all about for us.

Kerithlan.1659:

Allow me to break the ice with score updates. Unfortunately my computer, being 10 years old, does not render characters nicely.

This is clearly a 2v1 situation against Kaineng, and it is obviously the result of “keeping the man down”. Just look at that ppt. It’s so tiny!

Edit: because I just realized it’s hard to detect when posts like this are serious or not, I’m being facetious. Reset scores are hilariously small imho.

xD

One of the painful lessons we’ve learned is that our reset nights rarely go as well as we’d like – well, they haven’t in the past few weeks anyway. Heck, I’m happy to see +165 against such competitive opponents. ;-)

Wow, that attitude would never fly on the Coast! Those “pugs” are the heart and soul of our defense, and offense.

Early score update, kind of boring tbh on the homefront!

So excited to be represented by Paris Hilton!
