Hey, when you’re done burning through more gold than I’ll ever have on suicide-racing some golems into the enemy spawn, you should hook your boy Taquito up with a Quip or Chaos Gun. Just sayin’.
Hey friends, here is some footage of Purimm and I, this time from my (guardian) point of view. The skill level of the smaller groups in this tier has been higher so nothing too jaw dropping.
Is it bad that every video posted I breathe a sigh of relief when it’s over and I realize I was not in it getting embarrassed? =P
its not fun unless you are getting embarrassed.. I do it all the time
No one should feel embarrassed, these are more like highlight reels. I said before we fail more often than we win (nature of the game currently, 3 should always beat 2). In fact some of those in the clips probably remember beating us a dozen times before we managed to pull off a win.
Agreed. Instead of feeling embarrassed, just watch how you were beaten and learn from it. If you do something REALLY stupid, then laugh about it. It’s a game, after all.
And above all, be thankful you’re not this poor guy:

I would like to laugh because it is funny, but running with withdraw and roll for initiative i have lost count of the number of times i have back flipped away from something just to find myself falling to my death. Hell ive even done it after i downed someone.
Are you still running dual pistols on your thief? We need to have a gunslinger duel sometime, even if it means going into the training area (aka spvp) to do so. I wish ANet would put in a system to let you duel your own server-mates without having to play on dumbed down builds. :P

Fess up if you got spiked by a baby quaggan tonight. I want to know who my victims were.
The lake party was great. Best one we’ve had since January when we faced off with GOM. I still have video footage of that evening too. Don’t remember who did it but the fireworks were a nice touch to end the evening. Next time we need a bon fire, a roast pig, and a guild feast.
I’m the usual suspect any time fireworks are involved, although I refuse to admit any guilt.
JURY SAYS GUILTY AS CHARGED. Names and faces have been removed to protect all parties involved. Reward is subject to change without notice. Darkhaven is offering the bounty on El Taquito Bandito for approximately the next 48 hours, or the next time DR QQ’s in their matchup thread, whichever comes first.
So wait… if I turn myself in, you’ll pay me one billion dollars?

Yo mugi, where’s my duel at?
Taquito, I should let you know that I was dueling [XOXO] this morning and they specifically requested a 2v2 with you and I. I can never remember the full name (even though I talk to her all the time), but it was the ele who’s name begins with Sta…
Yeah, that’s Stalagta. That 2v2 sounds like fun.
Yo mugi, where’s my duel at?
Please, Taquito, you know tM is zerg guild now!
its true, i am a zerger :P
No lie, I saw you zerg Taquito myself =( He is thief without stealth! Instead of zerging, you should pity him. Next time you see him you should stop and open up the mail and write him:
“Dear Mr. Taquito,
I see you because you are not stealthed at all. A thief without stealth is basically a ranger without pet, which is a doubly sad state. Here is 1 copper coin to help you afford a new build.
Signed,
-A concerned citizen"
Don’t need no stinkin’ walls to defend a tower, and sure as hell don’t need no stinkin’ stealth to get kills. But I will gladly accept all of your monetary donations for the Buy-Taquito-A-Quip fund.
Yo mugi, where’s my duel at?

Whew man, our borderlands got hit HARD by DH off the bat with multiple big strikes from Side Effect [SE] with a dose of the usual Perfect Dark [PD] ninja attacks. Never seen us pinball back and forth between locations, yet we did so very effectively w/o waypoints, only losing Bay twice to DH then NSP much later on the night when both our Hills and Bay keep were getting simultaneously attacked. I had a great time defending tonight for reset night, very fast paced action, especially from DR’s part tonight.
Glad we could make it fun for you guys…now where is my boy Team Battle Axe? Haven’t seen him in a while. We have definitely noticed you guys are a hell of a lot stronger this time around…good show GOM.
I was busy in the DH borderlands
well according to http://mos.millenium.org/na/
Gom is getting deleted
Devs got tired of trying to find ways to throw us into T8, so they just decided to delete us altogether. :/
P/P dodge thief looking for non-deleted server. Can provide lots of dps, fireworks, and mid-fight baby quaggan potions. Bidding starts at 300g!
Ok I should have said it better..But majority of gom are bad in pvp..ive seen some good ones also. Point I was trying to make was during tkitten no seige bug, Gom kept getting whiped everywhere. Now that seige is back…they r back to trebbing Anz 24/7, trebbing our keep or using golems which fail everytime cause they dont bother to take out oil.
To gom: Dont rely heavily on seige…maybe this is why you are one of the low servers.
I literally laughed out loud just now. Which is bad because I’m still at work, but whatever.
1) Seige is a huge part of WvW. In fact, one could argue the entire mode was based around seige. You’re supposed to use it heavily.
2) “maybe this is why you are one of the low servers” – Not sure if you noticed, but we’re all in the same tier here.
3) There are quite a few reasons we’re in one of the lower tiers, but the use of seige is definitely not one of them. I’m not going to get into details, but what a ridiculous statement.
4) From what I’ve seen we have just as many good pvpers out there as any of the other servers we’ve fought. Making blanket statements about the skill level of a server’s players is both incredibly subjective and impossible to prove, but you can believe whatever you like.
Sigh, I just had to give in and feed the troll. Well done on pulling me in sir.
Silly GoM, everyone knows you are supposed to auto attack keep doors down while working in groups of 5 or less.
Agreed, it the best.
I tried this once with a party member. Those kitten doors are OP. After a few minutes, I threw a treb down right in front of the gate, figuring it’d do max damage at point blank range. Sadly, the build spot was destroyed by the time we got back with more supply. Finally, we threw a flame ram in front of the wall to see if it was as OP as the gate, but by then people had shown up and killed us while we were trying to build it! PvDoor is really, really hard
.
I have a screen shot of genius flame ram placement on my desktop at home, but sadly did not get shots of the auto attacking or the treb.
I didn’t think XOXO took towers but this mornin I saw the SPCA/tM/XOXO trifecta holdin Lake tower on Gates of Madness. Blew my mind and totally killed me =(
Screenshots, or it didn’t happen! I refuse to believe that XOXO would ever stoop as low as to do some actual WvW’ing.
Haha, I can at least post the flame ram placement when I get home this evening. With the new random opponents, I’m not too worried about you guys seeing our super leet strategies. You can even surprise other servers with them!
Can confirm some amazing strategies. For example I’ve seen the power of the XOXO wall rams with my own eyes and have been practicing it since. Sadly I have not been able to master it.
As promised, here is the screenshot of our wall ram. Sorry, I don’t have a screen shot of the point blank treb build or the auto attack + HS spam on the door.
Neither of these screenshots was edited in any way shape or form. I really think that Anet needs to work on its manners, the battle log in the second is just downright mean.
Hopefully this will help you on your wall flam ram skills. I’ll let you know when I solve the massive damage issue.
Please don’t judge our whole server based on the actions of one ill-mannered wall. We have taken great strides to representing ourselves as honorable and respectable opponents. To have one of our own walls slaughter you ruthlessly while you were simply building a flame ram is just disgusting behavior.
We’ll have that wall replaced immediately so that you can continue to attack lake tower in a clean and fair manner.

If you guys are the ones who like to leave flame rams pointed at our tower walls, then we took care of smashing them for you. Free WXP is free WXP! Gotta save up for that OP burning oil mastery!

RH/RISE lets have another small group fight before our match up changes please? Also I forgot to say I had fun fighting the mesmers in between small group fights a couple nights ago. Can’t remember who it was but I’d be willing to give them another fight
Add me to your contacts. I’m not sure what time I’ll get home from work tonight, but I’d love to set up another group fight with you guys with however many we have online. We’ve all been playing around with new builds in sPvP or hunting dragons for the last couple of weeks (these legendaries ain’t gonna farm themselves!), so I think our group play has gotten noticeably rusty. Some tough scrims against you guys would go a long way to getting us back in form for the next match-up.
There’s still a good chance that we’ll face NSP again either next week or very soon, so if this is too last-minute to set something up, no worries.

In Feudal era Japan, Samurais use to walk out onto the battlefield and declare their name, rank and fighting style and take one on one challenges before their armys would fight to inspire them. And of course to take the heads of their opponents to their lords.
That’s exactly what I do. The only problem is that GW2 turns all of that honorable speech and my polite challenge into:
Gates of Madness invader gestures.
Gates of Madness invader gestures.
Gates of Madness invader gestures.
Then my enemies think I’m being lewd and try to rush me with like 10 people.
Here’s a little video of me and Purimm fighting a DDLG smallman. Mostly just escaping. Thanks to GOM for the assist.
Great video but no credit to Rat Fart? Thanks for sharin the warrior build. Would be interested in what the guardian was runnin as well.
I’ll try and make a little vid showing what I run. Until then 0/10/0/30/30, clerics gear, melandru runes, energy sigils, no ascended
Tell Purimm thanks for posting that warrior build. I’d been playing around with a similar idea in spvp (sword/shield + longbow, shaman’s amulet), but I’d never thought to try using banners. Mind=blown.
I’ll probably still use my mace/mace build whenever I bring my warrior into WvW, but that banner build is fun as kitten for spvp.
Also, have a secret screenshot of the DR+GoM alliance.
No worries. Our super secret alliance with NSP is going quite swimmingly. Our bond of trust transcends even clothing.
You took pictures! I feel so weird
I took videos. Pro level creeper.
