Guild Wars 2

Combo breakerrrr!

Watching ANet shoot themselves in the foot patch-after-patch is fun and who’s to say that it isn’t deserved?

Mm I heard about the arrow carts lol. I went and finished my world completion instead, from 21% to 100% in, like, 3 days. On a nicer note, the thread looks much happier!

News of my death has been greatly exaggerated; what did I miss?

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

It’s under investigation, but I don’t have an ETA for a fix. (Mostly likely with one of the upcoming content updates.)

So… in, like, a month? I was hoping for a build in the next few days to fix quite a few of the bugs, including this one. Just remove the event.

Furiousbeard.7602:

Hmm yes, sour apples and trolling. Not a great start to the day.

On a lighter note. Great fights last night DB you guys run some tight crews.

We’re not allowed to make playful jabs about fights without them being deemed as troll-posts?

destoyer of lives.7963:

ok its official……there where no winners at hills on TCBL…….the amount of time lost and the lag was insane also lol. but seriously I was having a blast for the first 6 days of the assault lol but congrats TC on holding, I guess you have earned some of my respect.

Actually, I think we won.

Usagi.4835:

Dear FA and DB,

Thanks for the badges at Hills lol.

Love Usagi

We didn’t wipe ^.^

But TC did trying to get up on the wall

You were saying lol? :p

Dear FA and DB,

Thanks for the badges at Hills lol.

Love Usagi

Mercenary Higgins.1807:

TC needs to man up and play WvWvW the way it should be.

This is the most ironic thing I’ve read since the matchup started.

Haldunius.7864:

In answer to your question, I think a lot of people on FA are aware that TC’s meta revolves around befriending one of the other two servers and using it as a meat shield and distraction while TC works on PPT. We have no desire to get involved in that with you. If you want PPT – get PPT. We want fights and we don’t need to buddy up with a second server to get them. That actually defeats our goal.

I really wish you would stop projecting, Haldunius.

Devilsmack.5736:

And man did they try! They even went as far as using their best-friends-forever server (KN) to try and steamroll us while being on an evident truce between them and what did they get with that? Well, KN is now in T3 and they were also gutted by their so-called ‘friends’ in order to boast their numbers.

TC should know better that for every action, there is a reaction.

That being said… AMAZING fights all over this weekend. Grats DB on your current #1.

Oh the endless slander. If you have no idea what you’re talking about and are trying to stir the drama pot, don’t bother posting. You’d have more friends too if you tried!

If you couldn’t tell, my post was a parody.

4 AM for me. My apologies.

Lol no need to apologise at all. In hindsight, that was totally my fault Should’ve put DB instead of NNK. Sorry, NNK!

Elano.2014:

Usagi.4835:

If you couldn’t tell, my post was a parody.

Mine was directed to TC’s accusation of using the glitch while attacking hills a few pages ago. If you couldn’t tell.

And yes, I could tell, which is why I made a parody post. Perhaps I should’ve quoted it instead.

If you couldn’t tell, my post was a parody.

Hai to BT, ACE, RET and VK in FABL! There were so many of you that Lake walls weren’t even rendering for me!

Is this like that time eles asked for Swirling Winds to be nerfed lol?

Speaking of ‘megazergs’…

WyldKat.4712:

Usagi.4835:

I think you mean Agent Wyldkat. Does she have a code name/number?

The player is a he. I have no number. My father has referred to me by MANY different names over the years. “Buzzard puke” was the oddest.

Edit: Zestee is Vigil. Zetti is Whispers. ^^

Oops! There goes my intuition lol.

Furiousbeard.7602:

Excellent work Wyldcat. I knew you were still on our side

I will message you for the next operation, “turn all TC siege”

Mwahahahahaha!!!

I think you mean Agent Wyldkat. Does she have a code name/number?

My last drawing for you all for our last match up. ♥

Aw, this is so adorable! (Sorry for invading this forum.)

You’re always welcome in our threads! In fact, you don’t even need to be told that since we can all technically haunt any and all threads we want, but still!

SHAKA ZULU.3128:

My last drawing for you all for our last match up. ♥

Omg, is that Scoreboard Babe with the quaggan backpack?!

xxxzavulonxxx.8413:

PR. And it is quite obvious. Every tier I have had the pleasure of being in with TC. TC does the same thing. Paint up a server to look bad, and pretend to act friendly. Yet we have seen plenty of TC trolling in match up threads over the course of FA and TC being in the same tier.

Now, lets look at Yaks Bend as a counterpoint to all of that. They are generally friendly. You don’t see them trying to act like good guys and saying other people are bad guys. Some of them might get into verbal sparring. But their drama is by far much less than TCs.

Lol I don’t think so. Do you not think responsibility lies on both ends? I could counter your point by saying that almost every matchup thread that hasn’t had FA and TC in the same tier has been pretty cordial.

And this is mostly all perception. Nobody’s gone so far as to deal in absolutes by stating that one server is good while the other server is bad. That’s how it looks to you and isn’t really how it might look to others.

Defending one’s server/guild isn’t the same as PR.

xxxzavulonxxx.8413:

Huh? I’m not like the TC PR team. I don’t care about server reputations. But the fact TC does worry so much about their appearance is pretty much why there’s such furious trollings in these threads.

I have played DB within the past month. I know what they’re about. And those new guilds are NA. But from the sounds of it, DB still has work left to be done in those hours.

Mm, PR or stamping on unsubstantiated claims/accusations and attacks, out of server pride?

Game is unplayable in its current state.

Single Ladies [RING].

Lol you’re pretty bad at gauging moods then; ferocity is the most awful word to use to try and justify your argument.

Oh no! Someone from TC says something in party chat, must constantly bring it up because it’s, quite frankly, breaking news and everyone has to know! Oh no, oh no, oh no!

Hijacking thread, BG, we miss you! Hang in there, guys!

Tearofsoul.9843:

Look, mommy, I’m stirring the drama pot!

Yes, because TC is comprised of only 5 people.

Kaineng, regarding the matchup thread, I’m sorry that we ended the last couple of weeks of your stay in Tier 2 the way we did. That goes for all of us, actually. I’m really going to miss you guys. Thinking back on it and seeing the picture that Phaneo posted earlier, the matchups between BG/KN/TC really were the best.

Despite the naysayers and the people who are panicking over the departure of a couple of guilds from your server, I don’t think you’re going to implode. Hang in there. People might’ve bashed you guys on the way up to Tier 2, saying you trolled them etc. (though I didn’t bother to check), but you proved them wrong and really showed class and humility and all that jazz.

Ignoring those occasions when you rolled over me , leaving me to eat dirt after I tried to get inside our spawn tower to defend it, I’m really going to miss you guys.

Coinin.2590:

@Usagi.4835 @ sab (whatever the number was): So when is FA gonna man-up and report their thief from Pink that is using exploits. Don’t say he is not he was just on our keep walls a little while ago.
All he is doing is hurting your server rep

I would say that, in general, just cause someone is inside your keep that you own…doesn’t 100% mean they are hacking, could just be very skilled at hiding, espec thieves or mesmers. If he is using exploits…long as ANET hasn’t called it off limits there’s sadly little that can be done except when you report they’ll say they’ll foward it to their bug department or something silly like that. I would say that…PiNK doesn’t condone the use of hacking or real exploits at all, we prefer to win the real way so…in the future if you see a guy with the PiNK tag in TC who’s hacking or something…take a screenie, send it to one of us PiNK that post on the forum, we’ll foward it on, kitten will be kicked if its a [pink] tag, sorry…but not us, there’s a few imposter guilds out there

No, Lowlands keep, to my knowledge, hasn’t been attacked/sieged in the last week and probably going further back than that. I took a screenshot of him inside the keep whilst the gates/walls were still up.

To clarify, it’s not [PiNK] but actually [Pink].

And yes, he was on FA but it appears he has now moved to KN.

Sab.5291:

So when is FA gonna man-up and report their thief from Pink that is using exploits. Don’t say he is not he was just on our keep walls a little while ago.

Actually, he’s moved to KN now and has been reported repeatedly. In spite of that, he remains smug as ever.

Not much to say (since I don’t know Maguuma all that well!) except I hope you get the oceanics you need! Nonetheless, it doesn’t change things between us…

If you couldn’t tell, he was being nice and he isn’t new to WvW.

I don’t know what’s up with TARNISHED COAST‘s Dwayna, but it is STILL OPEN… And has been every time I’ve logged in. Come get your loot.

Evalana.5480:

Matchup threads pre-TC – have been generally very civil – Feel free to check!

Can’t wait til the bullies go to T1 and go away…

Lol matchup threads prior to your entering the tier were also very civil. Things were good when it was just BG/KN/TC… Now…

Yeah and then the big bad boogeyman FA came and ruined your fun. Whine and complain all you want but its a two sided trollfest so either troll, sit back and watch, or go get on private forums to complain how bad the other server is about trolling. I think I covered all bases??

I didn’t actually say that. I was responding in kind to Evalana. And you basically reiterated a point I’d already covered; mostly that it’s a two way street.

Evalana.5480:

Heh yes, do feel free to check. Matchup threads prior to your entering the tier were also very civil. Things were good when it was just BG/KN/TC… But now…

Perspective is everything.

Niim.9260:

I wish folks would just accept the fact that servers can have different cultures and thus different views and priorities and different views of success and winning.

Because of a largely opposing views of the game, it is entirely possible for both FA and TC to feel like they are winning at the same time and this thread is the fallout from them trying to prove their winning is more meaningful then the others and gain validation of their version of victory.

The only thing that actually matters to either side is, do you have fun playing the game the way you do? If so, who cares that someone else’s view of success is different then your own?

Also, Niim, I would find myself in the past disagreeing with a number of your posts but what you posted was very true. Sadly, many of us are unable to grasp that concept.

Tarnished Coast is currently open.

Somewhat off-topic, but we all knew it was going to happen: has anyone else outed any trial account spies/saboteurs doing very nefarious things yet? I bagged my first exposé today!

Reikou.7068:

I’m pretty sure that zerging everything is not the way ANet wants people to play. You still do it anyway.

If he gets banned, you should too.

That’s a really silly statement. If zerging everything wasn’t how ANet intended for people to play, why do they continue to implement features and updates which encourage zergplay?

WyldKat.4712:

Gwen is the scary.

I can sense your fear of Gwen. She’s potentially ‘outquirkying’ you.

Haldunius.7864:

I don’t know if TC operates as a collective hive mind, nor do I care, but you do have a 2 page thread with 43 responses dedicated to trying to take NNK from Dragonbrand on your server’s website from back when TC was in T3 that was just recently refreshed with conversation since DB might enter T2 at some point.

Lol it’s nice to know you care enough to keep more tabs on our server’s forums than I do. I haven’t been on the TC forums in weeks, possibly a month, so I have no idea what you’re on about.

You guys realise TC doesn’t operate as a collective hive mind, right? Conversely, I won’t say that everyone on FA goes onto other servers’ forums and knowingly takes WvW guides that do not belong to them and links them to their server buddies thinking they’re oh-so-smart and oh-so-sneaky!

I think u misunderstood him here.HE has no problems to die and keep running in over and over again.
Here is the thing though: I logged in yesterday around 6pm pst and we had 65 ppt. well, of course we tried to ninja towers, get garri back and all that, but every time we would even touch a tower, a 45+ if not more zerg came to destroy us. We were around 15-20 people.Believe me, he was there and we kept trying for 2 hours + before I started getting frustrated.

8 people try to take bay gate down and gets steamrolled by almost 40 players. We finally get woodhaven back, the whole entire zerg runs there and doesn’t even need to keep up the rams, no they pvdoor!

The part that frustrated me is when I get steamrolled over and over by a giant zerg that outnumbers us clearly and then all you read in chat is laugh emotes. If the fights are somewhat more balanced like 20+ vs 30 the fight actually gets fun, but 1 giant blob vs a much much smaller number get frustrating after a few hours believe me!

I think, in EB, a couple of nights ago, we were siege-capped because our lovely spy has upgraded our inner lord room rams to catapults. So we had no choice but to PvDoor gates down or build golems.

Also, if I find my chatbox spammed up with emotes from an enemy group, I turn off emotes and just ignore it.

oh dear, i remember those times when we always had siege cap because a spy built tons of siege at hidden places. Really really low of people doing such stuff.I would not accuse u guys of only pvdooring.I used this as an example that has happened many times.

It’s okay, I think we’ve all thrown mud at each other, accusing the other server of zerging/PvDooring etc. No biggie. It’s awful being at siege cap like that but at least now, it’s catapults and not useless rams.

nibbles.2408:

I’m somewhat confused then. You are reducing your coverage gaps to increase your ppt (or at least to not lose your points over the NA night). This has led to you guys winning T2. Not just the transfers, but the extra hours as well. You guys want to win T2 but not move up to T1? It will happen eventually, unless someone organizes a week off WvW so your server loses. Several of your members have even stated that the goal is continued improvement through moving up the ladder (not a hive mind but indicative of the fact that at least some of TC wish to move up).

Continued improvement is not synonymous with a desire to move to T1 lol.

And in the grand scheme of things, does it matter? I don’t know why everyone’s so interested in analysing TC’s transfers situation. And I don’t know why people seem to think there’s another reason even though somebody just told you why.

nibbles.2408:

With the respective goals of each server I don’t understand all the antagonistic feelings (okay I do, but bear with me here).

FA is happy to be in T2 with some great fights, not caring too much about the score. TC wants to better their server through the meta and move up the ladder, eventually (but not immediately) securing a spot in T1. These goals are in no way mutually exclusive. TC can continue to win the tier and FA can have its GvG/Open field fights. Maybe not with as many TC guilds, but I’m sure there are some willing to try and plenty of KN guilds as well.

In light of that it really is a win win situation for both.

And to TC: For what it is worth I would recommend giving GvG a try. I feel you guys are going to win the week by a comfortable margin. GvG gives both parties a place to have a bit of fun, improve tactics, and prep for some T1 fights.

From what I have seen, the guilds that have done it from TC and KN (e.g. CERN, RISE), have been treated fairly and shown full respect from the FA guilds they fought. I’m sure that they themselves can attest to it.

That point about T1 is incorrect. Whenever we discuss it, the majority of us don’t want to be in T1.

Jayne.9251:

You ever look at you up voted posts? They bring back some good memories. I have six pages of them …. How many do you have?

Show off…

Obby Shards.9365:

Yeah running with even numbers must be why BT got wiped when they dropped on us with +20 more then us. huh

Drop the trash talk please!

We wanted to share the cookies with you, but you guys all disappeared.

neruson.4978:

It wasn’t for the entire day tbh it was more like 3 to 5 hours at most its nothing compare to that Fa Thief which contest keeps every single day. I’m sure ppl from the match up in WvW notice who that thief is.

Oh you mean yourself? No idea why you were in/how you got into SMC when the walls/gates weren’t down.

Darknicrofia.2604:

i doubt your naked zerg were singing ice ice baby while rolling in omega golems though

Normally, I’d be mad you took our Bay… But being naked makes everything better.
