I haven’t logged into WvW pretty much at all this week. Anything worth mentioning?
Choo blahblah, CERN blah blah, VR blah blah north camp blah blah, Meow blah blah, BOMB blah blah, mag beating FA blah blah.
NOPE blah blah, JAJAJAJAJA blah blah, underwater combat blah blah, jajajajajajja blah blah
Needs more Guild Catas and worm-slaying.
So I take it you were an uplevel who got killed by a PU mesmer with full stacks? Cry for me some more. I’m still thirsty.
Yea, I’m going to be nice today, this is just too kitten easy. Merry Christmas FA!
Edit: Okie, I just have to get this off my chest, then I’m done…
Mag is a T3 server right?
And here I thought Mag didn’t care about PPT.
what is with the hype over 2v2s lately lol why not just 1v1
Because I have horrible individual skills……..
UltraHiDef where did the “proof in the attachments” go? Were you the asura engi running that 25% condi immune that we killed 3v1…. cuz you got rekt!!
Edit: pff your first post was a fail
No it’s because he can’t fight underwater. He’s a little kitten who can’t handle fighting vertically as well as as horizontally. He has an issue with saying “rofl” as well. I’d be careful around this guy. He might be contagious.
What’s with you and fighting underwater? Its not even well balanced and no one is good at it except maybe you for some odd reason. Lol.
I’m trying to get the new wave started. I’m sorry you can’t handle underwater battles. I understand that it can be diffucult for you landlubbers in Maguuma. At least TC is competent in the water. Get on my level please. Water battles are the future.
Hmm, maybe if I drag out this joke for far too long, people will forget that I refused to fight them.
Maybe if I keep refusing to fight underwater people will forget that I’m a kitten. I don’t fight groups below 5. Too many condition necros who think they are good.

Lol is this your guild? A “perfect portal bomb” is when you lose 5 people and don’t kill a single enemy? rofl
Idk. I can’t watch it for some copyright reason. Do you know when this was? Also, why are you searching through videos? You seem angry. But I’m glad I made you take the time to search for it.
My offer for underwater 8v8s still stands. Let me know.
(edited by Tibstrike.2974)
So any guilds that aren’t scared like [meow] or [NV] want to do some 2v2’s – 5v5’s ?
So any guilds out there that want to do 8v8’s underwater? I don’t do plebian land based fighting. If you can’t fight in three dimensions you aren’t worth my time. Remember, the enemy is down.
And hello XOXO! Good to see Mag has some competent small-scale fighters now. These guys won’t even rep their own guild because they are embarrassed by their play.

Unless you run all glass bearbow rangers I wouldn’t say you are skilled in a 3v3.
Why would this be the case?
Cuz I would be impressed. I forgot to mention I only accept 30v30s featuring at least 10 shatter mesmers, 10 rangers, and 10 minion master necros as the only form of GvG.
Since when did 3v3s become the new kitten-measuring metric for WvW? Are 5 people too many people for you? I remember the golden age when 5 man groups were able to take on twice their numbers. How the mighty have fallen. Soon we will see “you’re guild sucks! 1v1 me if you got balls. True skill appears in duels. Over 2 people is cheese!”.
Lol I said 3v3 because that’s how many I know I can get for sure. I’m not going to say “lets do a 10v10!!” when I can’t pull that many this week. Don’t get your panties in a bunch because I called you out earlier.
It was an observation on a trend I’ve been noticing. Dont think you got anyones panties in a bunch. You don’t really rate on the XOXO scale of trolling.
Unless you run all glass bearbow rangers I wouldn’t say you are skilled in a 3v3. But hey. If three people is all the friends you can muster I guess that’s whatcha have to do.

Maguuma fights open field? Lol. I remember wiping Mag guilds pre-league 15 vs. 40+ though. You stopped fighting after that in oceanic time zone now.
Is that why you tanked to silver?
Yes, I was afraid you’d cry me to death.
Valid fear, I cry a lot. Hallmark commercials… need a box of tissues.
Nah, you just need better guilds.
Anyone hear/see of this guy’s guilds listed? Seems like a whole lot of hot air (which I appreciate given how cold it is where I live).
Well if you pay attention, it appears he is part of MEOW. But as that relies upon reading I will forgive you. I know Mag struggles at that sort of thing.
I think someone needs a reading comprehension class. I’ll try my best.
From deathTouch’s comment “Anyone hear/see of this guy’s guilds listed?” he was stating:
“I have read this persons signature. However, I have never heard of nor seen any of these guild tags running around in WvW, even though he has listed them has his guilds.”
deathTouch then continues to state:
“Seems like a whole lot of hot air (which I appreciate given how cold it is where I live).”
Here he is saying, that the person is a mouth breather and the air coming out is hot. He is also saying that it is cold outside where he lives and that the hot air will keep him warm.
Thanks for that analysis. Truly worth the time to properly space the paragraphs.

Hard to learn to read properly playing games all day in your mom’s poorly lit basement.
I give this 6/10. A nod to the classic, but still referencing the original insult. Looks like Mag has been stepping it up. I was worried about their forum skills falling off the wagon.

Just passing this note to the appropriate party.
Thanks, I love wasting multiple peoples time by chasing me around. Will continue to run and be chased by bads.
Yea that can be fun, but it’s only really worth while in sPvP… WvW +/-2 etc. doesn’t matter.
Who said anything about 2 people? More like 10-20+ people all the time. Before when JP was part of EB I could take 20 people out of fight on map by holding JP vs them for hour+. I doubt anyone else in all of GW2 takes more people out of the “fight” than me.
We got ourselves a kitten over here!
Dem Mag blobs.
But seriously. Great fights in TCBL in Garri a while ago. Good fights all over tonight!
Tyrion – Best commander on NA servers. Hands down.
On TC, about half the commanders repeat each order 4-5 times too. I am not sure why they do that. It drives me insane, so I usually mute them in mumble. If I want to be yelled at, I’d just call my ex-boyfriend and tell him how money he owes me, lol.
If you yell each order 5 times, you’re probably taking this game waaaaaay too serious!
It’s a presence thing. 7 times out of 10 the people know what they are doing and start doing the actions before the commander calls for it. But the commander,w hile repeating things, is trying to ensure everyone hears him and does what he asks. A good guild can have people shouting over one another calling their utilities and skills a la “Hammastun”, “water down”, “got a pull”, and “stability up”. With all that noise, sometimes the leader can get drowned out, so repeating is necessary.
Also, it informs everyone that the commander is alive and actively leading the group. Plus, a lot of people want to be like Sacrx.
I have only seen D/D eles command pug zergs. You rarely see eles commanding guild groups unless they are like VR who are mainly casters. As long as you can survive I would say you would be fine, but having followed D/D eles that are commanding, their expectations on where people can get to quickly is a little silly. The melee ball can move fast yes, but not as fast as RTL or LF.
I think blobs are fine. It is world vs. world vs world after all. Much like Alliance Battles in GW1, a casual mode of PVP. People rarely complain much about AB being disorganized and chaotic (exploits and cheating is a different can of worms). In fact, for every person here complaining about blobing, there are probably 9 others that are happy with it being like it is.
When I see threads like these, I think people want equal organized team PVP mode like GVG. Why those aren’t in from the first day still baffles me.
Man, I loved AB in GW1. The only difference there was a single SF ele was able to take out an entire mob solo. Unless there were rangers. kitten rangers.
Eles are just plain bad these days IMO. Combo field bots. Much maligned like mesmers. But at least mezes are good in a duel. And eles can’t switch out the staff when ganked. I’ve never understood how a class can be designed with the least HPs and armor but not hit like a freight train or zip around the battle field like Roadrunner on steroids.
My ele hits like a freight train :/ And barring getting focused I survive in both zergs and small groups while playing staff. I mained a SF ele in GW1 (only time I was afraid of rangers, eff the Luxons) and I think the Ele is fantastic. I can understand why people playing ele for a long time feel bad about it, but having just started playing it I am pretty happy.
So i just fought a Thief you used Pistol Whip SIX times in a row. and during our fight he used it TWENTY SIX times….
Can someone explain to me how he was able to use a skill that is meant to have a 5 initiative cost at the VERY best, he would be able to use it TWICE before running out of Initiative. So i am wondering how he was able to use it SO many times.
At 5 initiative for each attack a thief can use it 3 times if they hhave the extra 3 initiative. By the end of that time he probably had generated another 5 to use it a 4th time through natural regen or roll for initiative. If each hits for a channel of 6, that would be 24 hits.
Next time dodge away.
Oh poor you. Having to explore all of the dirty WvW areas to get your precious shiney PvE weapon. Cruel design indeed. Anet pls nurf.
Did I say I don’t like wvw? and that map completion shouldnt be at all in wvw?
I complained about the roatation between the colours, that my server gunnar’s hold seems to always be either red or blue. So if map completion need wvw, they need a better colour rotation.(btw, I like to play wvw alot)
Stay up late and run with your night coverage. Or politely ask a commander on that map to do a quick rush of that location. If you are not a total kitten about it most commanders are willing to help out, especially if its a tower or keep of importance.
It’s honestly not Anet’s fault for you not being able to to get the PoI. Get your guild to help you. If you are really jonesing for a legendary then make it happen yourself.
I will try that, thank you
do you think it’s possible when its the green eb keep? :P
I personally think Green keep is the easiest to take in a mad rush. The other ones have too many spots to turn the keep into a kill zone.

RET and RAM are the only two I can recall in the last two weeks to have dropped open field siege. Given its usually while they drop something along the lines of 20 guild catas for a wooden tower, or 10 trebs at wurm gate, they usually refuse to fight without being in range of arrow carts in these situations.
Your definition of open field siege is quite different from mine. That’s just straight up sieging. They are protecting their catas and kitten.
By your definition, every ballista or ac dropped to protect a gate is open-field siege.
Open field siege is dropping an arrow cart when you are about to face an opposing zerg in the, ya know, open field to compensate for being bad players.
Just so you know.
What PoI and Vista? I’m guessing Hills as it has both and can be difficult to take.
What server are you on?
Perhaps i will give FA some credit when FA actually does something impressive. A year’s worth of periodic play with them has given me the impression that they never will.
Same here dude 1 year playing against TC, and they never impress with anything, TC only has numbers, and here we are again and they cannot impress me, i just saw the same numbers after numbers and no skills ^^
Same TC of all times.
I’d say FA is the same old FA but there is a lot more blobbing and open field siege now coming from FA. I suppose if anything FA is worse than before.
Open field siege?! When did you see this? What tag? Please let us know! They will be reprimanded for their actions.
Also, when does NOPE play? I haven’t seen you guys at all in the past two weeks.
Music sucked plus the continuing blacking out of the skill bar just amuses me to no end. Hammer/Staff guard using shouts and a consecration or meditation is really breaking the mold there.
Anyways. TW is still a good guild.
The shenanigans will find a new venue. In the meantime we can still talk about this match.
I was impressed with FA last week but they really kicked it into overdrive this week. Those PPT driving float teams are really paying off and should be part of a primer for any server that wants to win despite a numbers difference.FA didn’t do anything special, most of the main TC commanders aren’t commanding much and on TC this greatly effects population volume. I haven’t had the time to command myself lately and until recently I was pulling some crazy shifts here and there. That 20k lead wouldn’t be there if our regular Borderland/EB commanders were leading like we typically do. Congratulations to FA, enjoy your victory, if I get more time I hope to get some good fights in with you in future matches, always a fun fight!
You heard it here folks. FA only won because TC commanders were taking a break. Now we can go back to our normal programming of making fun of #Magswag and their 3rd matchup thread this week. Will they make it to 5 by reset?? Find out tonight!
A lot of us have been on break/playing less frequently since Seasons ended, I didn’t say it was the only reason that TC will lose and FA won this week but it is an important factor to the outcome of this matchup.
I said that the “20k lead” wouldn’t be there, I didn’t say you (FA) wouldn’t have won. Please don’t twist my words and learn to read more carefully.
I know :P Just joking around and trying to head of the inevitable tantrum thrown by everyone over your statements. Word of advice, never post that something would’ve happened differently due to people not being online. That’s why we make fun of SBI. They were the only ones affected by TESO beta weekend and Thanksgiving ya know?

Be smart.
-Kill/CC the warriors
-Kill the lord where it is hardest for them to reach (like right in the middle of your zerg).
-Kill the lord as soon as it rezzes…. you’ll exhaust their banners eventually
-Split your zerg in two.. one to hold the circle/kill lord and the other to camp the entrances so no one gets in.This is an EB keep, not garrison. There is only one way they will come into the lord room…………….
Be smart.
Balanced stance+endure pain. I’m sorry what were you saying? Often times a warrior doesn’t even need endure pain.
Then post people outside the keep to get the CC on them before hand or make them pop thier invulns before hand. The keeps in EB are placed close to spawn for a reason. They are supposed to be easy to defend by coordinated groups and difficult to take. Red Keep is a freaking meat grinder before the inner gate if used correctly. Blue Keep has a giant kill zone in inner that is a free-fire zone for ACs. Green Keep has lots of choke points but is probably the easiest to take with a rapid push.
If you are not taking a keep due to them bannering the keep lord you are doing something wrong.
You think people just let the warriors meander inside? There should be some kind of ICD so that it’s not banner after banner, literally.
Like people have said, more than warriors can rez a lord instantly. I’ve used it with my guard and I’ve known ele’s who have mist-formed in and rezed him. Next time move the lord to some odd place that is easily defensible or just work on killing people before they can get there. Immobilize works wonders on guards.
mist form ressing isn’t the same as any instant res skill. What i’m saying is there should be a cooldown or a debuff the lord gets once he’s insta revived like that. The defending team should have to try and contest the circle. not make it dissapear.
Good lord. Eles, guards, and mesmers all have instarevive skills just like warriors. I was saying that eles mist form to the lord and then insta revive them. My previous statements concerning your inability to prevent the ressing still applies. Its honestly your/your zergs fault it went that long.

You cannot play WvW with friends from other servers. You will be opponents if your servers matchup. You can still join parties with them if you want to roam around but it would be iffy to fight others as your AoE will hit them. You can whisper them. That’s about it to be honest.

Time until DIE starts spamming the forums? I’m guessing less than 24 hours.
Quick question. Has anyone seen any PRO tags from TC? Been looking for them after they transferred from IoJ.
Nice open field ballista and arrow carts FA, really showing off those siege skills y’all have, all that silver league practice.
Says TC of all servers. Lets try again, this time with feeling!
About late SEA timezone.. Is it possible if FA and SoS stop PvDoor and try to fight or something? So tiring running around maps finding your groups for fights..
/notroll
Why don’t you just get ahead of the PvD train?
We did that against JQ during leagues and they lost their freaking minds when our zerg busted out of inner hills right into their downlevelled karma train.Of course you aren’t likely to see downlevels from either us or FA; but the concept is the same.
It’s a bit difficult when they randomly waypoint across 3 BLs and cap stuff. Vale camp to NW camp then somehow NE tower without taking NE camp then suddenly water camp. We literally spent 2-3 hours chasing their 30 with our 10.. Geez.
Sounds similar to TC on occasion. Its almost as if people are trying to be unexpected and not leave a super obvious trail across the map…hmmmm. let me get back to you on that!
Yeah well, your NA counterparts could use some advice from Chris then.
I wouldn’t take advice from Chris even if he was undisputed king of WvW. But NA is nothing like you describe. TC and SoS bring the fights all the time. Good stuff.

Many of the oceanic guilds are there because of pre-launch decisions about where Aussies and such should go. SoS was the main Oceanic server I believe and IoJ was an overflow. SEA guilds migrated to DB after awhile. People developed a community and want to stay on that server.
I get the community concept but at some point don’t these guilds just get bored of having nobody to fight? Doesn’t their NA prime crews get tired of being thrown against two or three times the population? I am not saying they should be forced off their server but I wonder if their was some incentive for them to move if they would. If said incentive were in place and they did move, would it better for most players?
I have left both DB and CD months ago because my guild got tired of being a punching bag against significantly stronger NA prime servers. My experience is anecdotal but leaves me with the distinct impression the middle tiers would be better off without strong oceanic servers (and that is of course just my opinion).
Having originated on IoJ, I would say we were never tired of our Ocx because they were the ones often keeping us in the fights during the dark times after the first exodus. A stronger NA presence was actually what drove the server up the ladder, unlike many other servers.
From what I have seen from DB and CD, their NA crews enjoy the fights they get as it is always a challenge. They aren’t looking for easy wins. So to ask their main WvW crews to move seems a bit rude don’t you think? Some servers just have Ocx and SEA populations. Not every server has to be slotted of NA. If you want similar coverage across the board EU servers are your best bet if you can play during that time slot.

Well, there was drama in Gold League about Blackgate allegedly buying guilds midseason to help them beat the other T1 servers. After that most of the servers just stopped trying against Blackgate so they cruised to a win.
Silver League was won by Fort Aspenwood in an undefeated manner. Accusations of tanking and such were thrown and debated (who really cares, if FA wasn’t there then Mag would’ve been and would have Roflstomped even with their anti-ppt culture). The big thing was the fall of SBI. Considered by most to be the favorites, they lost to FA in the first week and then was driven down to third by a quasi-alliance by YB and Ebay. YB was able to snag the number 2 spot overall due to this.
Bronze league was much closer in terms of actual week-long fights, but HoD pulled out the wins in each match-up. I’m sure there was drama there as well, I just didn’t pay attention to it as much. Anvil Rock has started picking up steam so it should be cool to see what the recovery of that server is going to be.

Guise, lighten up…Too much haterade hea. We haven’t even started the ultra secret 2v1 plan on FA yet…
SEE!!!! PROOF! OMG ANET! PLS STOP 2V1s.
Necro: the current meta has two forms of Necro. The above-mentioned cheesy version is a high condition-damage build that can melt even the tankiest opponents through the clever use of bleeding and such things. The other form of necros you see out there are glass-cannon/power builds. They take advantage of a high base-health pool and DS to lay down massive AoE damage through wells. In general you will see condi-necros in small-scale fights and powermancers in large-scale zergs and/or guild grouos in WvW.
Mesmer – Tend to be the same sort of thing as necros, either a condition spec or power build. Will let others mention specifics. Shatter-builds, PU mesmers and the like.
Elementalist – Large group eles are some of the best support and AoE in the game. Water fields are a must for keeping people alive and the massive damage of fire and earth are only matched by Necro powermancers. Large-scale eles usually use Staff (more for support), but D/D eles are still viable with massive AoE damage. In small-sclae stuff you often see glass-cannon eles using scepter/dagger or d/d. While thieves probably still have the greatest single-target burst, glass-cannon eles hit like a kittening tank and can burst down 3-5 people in less than 2 seconds.
That said, people all have opinions that will differ. I’m sure you will have fun with whatever you choose.

We’re just trying to emulate TCs PPT centric play style but unfortunately SOSBL is TCBL 2.0
We can’t chase you guys on all 4 maps at once.
Thats funny since TC had about as many on the map as SoS and it was FA that was zerging everywhere. But kinda normal for FA.
Nice of you guys to leave bay for us after we wiped you with half the numbers between Garri and Bay we were actually hoping for some good open field with you guys from Bomb and Hope… but one good wipe and you all ran
You seem to think pretty highly of yourself. I have yet to see TC put up a fight with even numbers. Pound for pound SoS is the bigger threat during NA.
Hard to put up a fight with even numbers when FA does nothing but omniblob
That’s rich. I seriously exhaled loudly when I read that statement.
Yes you should be able to win a 1v3 if you outskill your opponents that much. They already have a number advantage (3x damage, cc, etc.). Why do 3 people need yet another advantage on top of that? Shouldn’t they learn to play instead of relying on a crutch?
Indeed, why should they? In 1v3 cases, let’s restrict the side with 3 to only using autoattacks.
Simply, you didn’t win the 1v3. You downed, but did not kill. What’s so different about that from “I got them to 50%, but not 0%”?
Because at 50percent hp I cannot spam f on my allies to heal them for ludicrous amounts of life.
The 3 players have every right to use any and all skills at their disposal before their hp reaches zero, at which point the downed mechanic is far too forgiving for the downed player and more so for certain downed classes
I don’t understand why people think a 1v3 fight should be handed to them. It’s a completely unbalanced fight. Yes there are people who can handle them, even with downed-state. But in all honesty, most fights should end with the group of three facerolling over the lone person.
If you are good/skilled enough to fight 3 people and win, you should be able to stomp them. If you can’t complete the stomp and kill them, then you are not as good as you think you are. End of story.
Not at all true. Stomping someone doesn’t involve skill. It invovles you being able to take a pounding for like 4-5 seconds straight. or for you to blow a damage reduction/invuln cooldown just to stomp an individual who you already bested in a fight.
The fight to get the person down took skill lol that means you are the superior player, however, the stomping part is what doesn’t take any skill at all. It’s a waste of time, it’s a snowball funfest and its a handicap to those who already have superior numbers (just incase this guy is good enough to take the 3 of us, let’s just keep ressing eachother till we win, he is going to run out of cooldowns eventually)
That’s why this doesn’t belong in pvp.
Your problem is that you don’t seem to include down state as part of the fight for some reason. Everyone has it, and hell, people can trait to due lots of damage in it as well. So when you go into a fight, you have to position yourself with this in mind. This may include dragging the fight away from the downed person and rapidly moving back for the stomp. If you watch people fighting solo in outnumbered fights, they take this state of the game and include it in their playstyle. People wait for people to start ressing and unload on the rezzers. Even if they get their friend up, you now have 2 people with less than 50% health to deal with instead of one down, and one with full health. Keep the pressure on em and they will go down. Then stomp.
I hate to say this, but its a l2p issue. Learn to fight with downed-state in mind and you will have an easier time. If not, go to fight clubs or duel locations and feel free to just down people and back off. Don’t take on 3 people and expect them not to rez eachother. This is not a fair game. Especially WvW.
Yes you should be able to win a 1v3 if you outskill your opponents that much. They already have a number advantage (3x damage, cc, etc.). Why do 3 people need yet another advantage on top of that? Shouldn’t they learn to play instead of relying on a crutch?
Indeed, why should they? In 1v3 cases, let’s restrict the side with 3 to only using autoattacks.
Simply, you didn’t win the 1v3. You downed, but did not kill. What’s so different about that from “I got them to 50%, but not 0%”?

We’re just trying to emulate TCs PPT centric play style but unfortunately SOSBL is TCBL 2.0
We can’t chase you guys on all 4 maps at once.
Thats funny since TC had about as many on the map as SoS and it was FA that was zerging everywhere. But kinda normal for FA.
Nice of you guys to leave bay for us after we wiped you with half the numbers between Garri and Bay we were actually hoping for some good open field with you guys from Bomb and Hope… but one good wipe and you all ran
You seem to think pretty highly of yourself. I have yet to see TC put up a fight with even numbers. Pound for pound SoS is the bigger threat during NA.
Seems that FA doesn’t wanna fight and is just playing PPT today. Kinda sucks since their population drops off during the week and the weekend is usually when a lot of good group fights happen… looks like it’s gonna be a boring match.
: /
See, to me, the weekdays are the best times for fights. It’s when the guild groups run more independently as the matchup is usually decided already and everyone is looking for fights. There may be less people but the fights are better and not just blobfests (which I am not against in the slightest).
How do I become a skilled forum warrior?
