Guild Wars 2

Heres a decent explanation of how queue timers work for WvW

Ogre.1750:

Omg i just saw the GD vs Scnd scraps and almost peed my pants, holy ghost, insane rounds. The game evolves, the meta sharpens, i could see it. Incredible technical details, insane lvl… long exhausting rounds that put crews to the test…

Too bad you dont go official, those were without a doubt the highest lvl bouts ive seen… maybe ever. Im featuring the hell out of that if i can get some HD fo-sho!

Check your YT inbox

Ogre.1750:

Rumor is GD proposed and Scnd declined Runty… leader on hiatus or something. Truly underwhelming.

Sadly Sylas is on holiday, and Seth is MIA, so we can’t really set up anything official. I believe we contacted GD on Friday to be upfront about the situation.
However, we did do some scrims last night with Godspeed leading, before pugs decided to interrupt. Easily some of the most intense fights i’ve ever had. Massive props to GD, can’t wait for the next round

Zumy.6318:

Thanks for that input! So I will test bandicam, dxtory (free version) and MSI AB.

There are ways of getting the non free version of dxtory.

Also. if you do decide to go with dxtory, i’d recommend watching this video when you set it up

dxtory to record, spend 30mins playing with the settings, and you’ll never look back

Last night as I recall you were never alone.

Show me on the doll where the bad guild hurt you
In honesty the TS after this fight, was full of praise that you guys were actually running solo at that point.

That awkward moment when a guild that runs up to 86 guys in WvW is talking about blobbing.

And to GH. Last night, you blobbed us at times, we blobbed you at times.
We helped out DsD at times, DsD came into our fights against you.
You brought members of Vii/SPRT/XT and all of WIC to fights vs us. Remember longview? We were having a nice, relatively even numbered fight vs FG (surprising to not find FG running 70 guys these days) and you added on.

We offered you some organised, even numbered fights last night, and you declined. If the blobbing was that bad, and we dwarfed you by that much, why would a top guild decline even numbered organised fights?
Instead you just chose to get GH members to spam abuse at the people offering you fair fights. I think at one point, one of your members even accused our raid leader of being into kids.

I hope it was maybe a language barrier between our members and yours. But if we find each other again, and you want some organised, even numbers, unofficial fights, we’re probably up for it. Lets leave the blobs, and the trolling at home.

LotuS.4378:

Valkyria Clan i see you are strong camping, are you up for some GvG action? Will you show also skill there? Or you are just to “small” for anything better?

It has finally happened. Piken has completed the transition!

Piken doesn’t blob. Piken is a guild server.
Piken guilds are actually now calling out other guilds though, for being too small.

Welcome to the Piken matchup thread, your #1 source of EU entertainment, week in, week out

This is the best thing i’ve seen all week. Thank you

Banned in about 400 countries, so proxies may be needed. Sorry about that. I’ll edit this post in a bit with a DL link for those not able to proxy around it. Seems like its banned everywhere except the UK, what are the chances of that?
Massive love to WAR for the fun night

EDIT: I’ve muted the offending song via YT, might help, blame Emeli Sande. Should be fixed in a bit… Hopefully
EDIT 18: Should be fine in everywhere apart from Germany now. Seriously, how do you guys listen to music?

Much respect to WAR very nice GvG hardest we had so far ! The score not really reflects how nice and difficult the fights were. See u on the Battlefield !!

^This. Really solid guild, really great fights.
Much love

New video from Second Law. A nice fight in Bay from last night

New video from Second Law

It seems that in honour of Sac hitting 250k kills, they’ve fixed “The Sacrx Potion” in WvW

Thanks for the fights, from everyone in Second Law

New video from Second Law.
Well, the clips are a couple of weeks old now due to me taking a break from the game.
Fights from the BB/AR/AM matchup. Apparently it’s blocked in Germany, so use a proxy or something

No its not from this matchup, but as I said above, I took a two week break so heres a video with footage from the BB/AR/AM matchup. It’s tough to make videos with these 1 week only matchups now. Unless you’re deso I guess, at least you get Viz every week…

Apparently its blocked in germany… use a proxy or something

I take a two week break from the game and I come back to us fighting VIZUNAH?!?

In honesty though, last night was pretty fun, seems like there are some decent fights to be had in this matchup.

Now i’m back, Second Law videos will commence again soon™

Morgenes.6985:

It’s not that we want to blob, we get forced to blob because of your 50+ guild troops.

Lets play a game…

List the guilds in this tier, that regularly (4+ nights per week) have 50+ people at a time in WvW

LotuS.4378:

Snowstorm.3897:

To explain further, the northern towers of a borderland are in close proximity to our spawn, so its unfortunately quite possible that 2 guilds will respawn at the same time in order to save a tower, regardless of who’s taking it. This happened maybe twice last night. I think the only time we’ve directly coordinated with DsD has been to take down an AR server blob that we couldn’t kill with 15-20 guys, anything else has been a coincidence. You knew our policy on Piken about running seperate, that hasnt changed.

What surprised me though about last night was a certain Piken guild-raid, building superior arrowcarts to kill a force half their size, good to see guilds playing the game how Arena Net intended. If you can’t win by numbers, or by skill, heck, lets win by siege!

Hows your queues on BP?

HUE HUE HUE

fine thanks. How’s that community on Piken? Looks great from where I’m standing.

While some people were busy playing forum warriors, Second Law stumbled across an open inner Bay gate, with AR and Piken inside fighting for control. Scnd however, are never one to pass up on an opportunity for some points.

Balzamon.1396:

I love how Scnd is still recruiting on Piken Square Lions Arch, even after they changed Server.
Arent there any good players on BB you can recruit?

Plenty yes.

There are good players on every server. We’ve had players join Scnd from Vizunah to Vabbi. Nothing wrong with advertisement. We work our way through the list periodically. We were doing the same when we were on Piken.

New video from Second Law

Good video!
But it looks like all your opponents were laggy, with disconnected commander and not at full quantity.
Cheers :P

We’re all in the same boat regarding the lag. And the fights are all reasonably even numbers, most we’re running in any of that footage is 25, less for anything after the first fight.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for the warm welcome we’ve received so far on BB. You guys have been awesome <3

Second Law: Farewell, Piken Square

Reann.9480:

Devitz.2136:

Most of Piken’s run 20-25-30max as far as I’m concerned

There are guilds in Piken which can field 30?!? Most active ones I know (yeah, I don’t know much) can barely get 15 in average nowadays… Speedbumps…

Getting 25 people in on Piken is easy!

If you start all start queueing at 16:00 BST, you should have everyone is between 20:00 and 21:00

Aratoa.7398:

This class can literally solo any other class if you play it correctly

Should a guardian not be able to win a 1v1 then?

Its time for this image again

Daemonne.5018:

Why did your ACs let them get in close enough to take out the oil?

Because the “X” didn’t show up for 30 seconds after the attack started. By then it was too late.

Where were your scouts? Doesn’t everyone have a team watching over their territory?

Hahahahahaha, you’ve never played on Piken, clearly

Second Law had some great farm (fights) in EB last night, thanks to everyone on all sides

I’m going to post this before it starts

Gotta say i’m going to miss this matchup – some of the best guild fights we’ve ever had.
And now we get Riverside back, and thus begins another week of trying to get a whole server to leave a t3 tower/keep

Second Law making the most of the Eternal Blobblegrounds last night. Big props to Nuke, who at least tried to ditch their pug train from time to time.

Balzamon.1396:

lol if you would be able to read Soulori you would know that we had kittenING SIEGE CAP in EB. We could not throw down any siege, no rams, no acs, nothing. I hate it when people only read the half and then try to kitten off others with that half knowledge.

I don’t see how the siege cap is relevant to you complaining about BB nightcap, whilst throwing 100 golems into taking the whole of EB

Vayle.7964:

Wompage.4586:

Balzamon.1396:

I vote for letting BB win so that they can go to T2.

We finally get a server with solid guilds to fight, and you want to lose them immediatly?

in my opinion AR is putting up a better fight than Baruch Bay, Baruch Bay move with double numbers of us and we still wipe them, whereas the smaller groups of AR are much stronger, especially more fun now they have RG

So you would rather lose guilds like Nuke, DsD, sIN, BuLL to fight Kodash blobs?

Vayle.7964:

Wompage.4586:

Balzamon.1396:

That nightcapping you guys do is just rediculus and i cant understand whats the fun with that.

Don’t you try and reset EB everynight?

Ireth is doing an amazing job there, if Ireth isn’t there, we would be reset every night, would you want the opposite?

Wompage.4586:

Balzamon.1396:

I myself enjoy fights and good defended keeps (its such a satisfaction if you manage to conqure it or wipe a strong enemy)

How many golems did you use tonight?

what would you do if the enemy doesn’t do anything, sit in your keep all time and fall asleep?

I was merely pointing out the hypocrisy of someone complaining about nightcapping, and not getting fights, whilst using over 100 golems that very same night.

Fun reset last night, great showing from everyone, and great to see sIN in this tier.

Some footage from last night from [Scnd]

Unfortunately the audio on that one is blocked in Germany, so here’s an audioless version for those less fortunate

Wemil.7052:

WvW is for guilds and randoms to join and play together you dont need a reward but you do get a lot loot I get around 15 gold per hour farming with my guild and a lot karma badges to buy stuffs so basically you only need to play a proper WvW and you can get everything you want.

You get 15 gold per hour from WvW?

And so another matchup draws to a close. Gotta say, i’ve enjoyed this one, and the fights are more than making up for the queues.
