It’s kinda scummy that you have guys spying on our server forums. You also have ‘Di Chrono’ in-game messaging our commanders trying to get them to switch servers, following our groups and relaying intel to ROS, and occupying cannons/siege before you guys attack.

Obviously i don’t think VcY or RiOT are behind it, it’s almost certainly excccelent or one of his lot.

That aside, i was very impressed with VcY last night in GH BL, we’ll try and come up with counters but we really don’t have any guilds who can match your numbers and coordination regularly. See you on the battlefield.

We hyped you guys up a lot in the last day or two and tonight was the result. We came prepared and all our guilds (and unguilded) threw everything they had at reset. Don’t expect that during the rest of the week, maybe in EB but for the most part the numbers will be a little more sensible. Most GH guilds are less than 15, the exceptions being CHvc, PRXM, and MM (maybe NNF too) who can all field 30 man groups during their events.

Most of the time though you’ll encounter our smaller guilds who tend to run anywhere between 5 and 15 players, look out for them because they do hit hard and are always up for a fight.

As for the numbers issue, it’s all a matter of perspective. RiOT steamrolled us when we first got in to bay and you probably had double our number. Also, i believe when you got zerged Bay was the only non-Green keep on the map so it makes sense that all of our forces would group there for the final push.

Thanks to everyone for the fights this week, it’s been an enjoyable one. Hopefully it’s not been too rough on Dz and ROF given that we have a numbers and coverage advantage, for the most part you’ve performed very well. A big thanks to BNF, TOD, and the furry troll thief from TaG for all our fun encounters.

The two approaches to WvW, and what of it

in WvW

Posted by: fab.3298

fab.3298

Good read, certainly gave me a lot to think about. I think you’re a little harsh on combat commanders though, there’s a lot of map management and grand strategy involved for us as well. In many ways we need to know and understand the layout of the map even more so than objective commanders. Objectives are stationary, they are driven by setpiece attacks, “piece of seige A goes here, piece of seige B goes there, now hammer on the wall for 10 minutes.”

Combat commanders need to know precisely where the enemy is, sure scouts are often helpful but most of the time we work by analysing the map. “We had orange swords here 5 mins ago, a scout saw them run this way, but that camp just flipped so they will avoid it,” intercepting the enemy isn’t always easy and it takes a lot of experience to do successfully.

Then when we do find the enemy the game changes completely. We have to plan where we want to fight, do we wait in ambush? do we attack? how do we approach them without being seen? For that we need a high level of map awareness. We need to know every contour, every hill, and every chokepoint, otherwise all the work we put in to finding the enemy goes to waste and i have 30 very kitten off players waiting for me at the Waypoint.

I’d recommend Gunnar’s Hold. They have a mature wvw playerbase and it was a lot of fun to play alongside them. Given that xaoc are leaving it could be a great choice for prime-time again. They also have the most active community forums/mumble server i’ve seen, if community is important to you i don’t think there’s a better choice really.

only time piken has queue’s is during EU primetime and on EB sometimes during the afternoon, besides, we’re piken… we cap SM with 7 people dps’ing down the inner door without rams because AR doesn’t notice us…

Had fun on RS BL tonight, thanks to everyone we fought there.

@Utha, I don’t think it’s fair to say we were zerging, we had about 4 guild groups running around, each of which was doing their own thing. SOE had about 15 for the majority of the evening and the others from what i could tell had around 25 players. Sure we came together at times, but non of it was organised, it just happened whenever there was a large and sustained fight.

When i got back in to EB after the hour or so of downtime DL were rampaging through it with about 10 golems. WvW isn’t suppost to be fair, if you don’t get used to that fact then maybe it’s not the game-mode for you.

“any unfair advantage to any server should be removed straight away.”
Be careful what you wish for, if anet took your advice they’d have to cut the FSP prime-time population by about a third.

It’s been a fun matchup, the addition of another strong prime-time server has given GH breathing room and made it a lot more interesting than the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately we seem to be hemorrhaging players from EB, i guess people don’t like that we’re not winning and are staying away, it’s unfortunate really because there are still a lot of fun battles to be had.

I don't get Guild Missions

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: fab.3298

fab.3298

They were enjoyable. A little buggy atm, one boss had a tiny amount of HP, i’m guessing the scaling didn’t work. Another boss had a crazy amount of HP combined with constant condition removal, he seemed a little OP, we failed on him twice. But the process of getting everyone together, searching the map, and reporting back was all really fun. It was a great evening.

I know people will say that the fun should be its own reward. I partially agree, but when we get our guild together it would be nice to have an incentive to spend a little more time together. After all, isn’t that what these missions were intended to do?

Posted by: fab.3298

We also tried it for the first time last night and i was pretty disappointed at the lack of reward for doing the mission a 2nd or 3rd time. The bounties only last 15 minutes so it’s not worth getting a large group together to just do one, but doing more than one is rather pointless. Even a token 10s per champion would be nice, but as it is now you only get the default 1s for completing an event.

GH vs AM vs FsP

Posted by: fab.3298

Typical, we plan an attack when you guys are having an event! It was fun though. I think we both know that FSP won on the number of bags earned but we didn’t come out empty handed. I’m glad we got you at briar after wiping so many times though.

People like to say FSP rely on zergs, i’ve seen it in this thread and i’ve seen it in /m, but that’s nonsense. From what i’ve seen you guys are good players and employ good tactics, tonight was an example of that. I wish our numbers were closer in prime-time so we could have more even fights, but there’s not much either of us can do about that.

Anyway, good fights tonight. Hopefully we have more tomorrow and during the next matchup.

Not sure about the GvG part (my guild is kinda tiny) but i`m up for a night of duels and just hanging around with you guys.
PS – I`m not sure if i remember right but i think you guys (SOE) had some events in the past with fireworks, ale kegs and some food feasts. Those looked like totally fun, would not mind seeing more of that again

Thanks Kaleygh, i’ll get in touch with you in game and we’ll sort out the details.

As for the fireworks, it wasn’t really an event since we do it fairly regularly and with no planning. We just got bored one night and decided to mess around. However, if you liked our fireworks, you’d love our dolyak medic squad.

Any guilds up for GvG’s and duel’s one night? Not for bragging rights or trolling purposes, just to have fun and add variety to a match-up that’s growing rather stale. It might be a good way to get to know one another, for good or bad it’s likely we’ll be facing each other a lot in the months to come.

They should make it so that anyone can take your claim to a tower if you don’t have and buffs running. It’s horrible having a guild claim an important keep and not put up buffs when there’s a dozen other guilds willing to.

Posted by: fab.3298

fab.3298

I agree, it’s incredibly annoying. The game has been out for almost 6 months now and we’re still missing these basic features. Not being able to kick offline users from your party is one of the most inconvenient things in the game, i shouldn’t have to reform my party when someone goes online. Also, having to type invites, guild kicks, etc manually is really time consuming. I shouldn’t have to pause my gameplay in order to perform basic party/guild admin and communication.

These comments have taken a nose dive. It’s a war game, it’s not fair, let’s take a few deep breaths and calm down a little. Who are we to dictate how FSP should be playing their game?

Playing GH was pretty frustrating tonight, we really couldn’t compete with you until later on when our numbers picked up.

Does anyone from FSP or AM want to organise some duelling for friday prior to reset? 1v1, 2v2, GvG etc. Not for bragging rights or anything like that, just for fun and practice. It’s likely that we’ll be facing each other again in the future and it would be nice to get to know each others guilds and players, maybe even get some friendly rivalries going for when we meet next.

This has been my favourite match-up for a long time, lots of fights, loot bags, and fun. We may have came 3rd but to be honest we don’t care about scores or rankings if we’re having good fights. I would liked to have bumped heads with UNITY more, when we did meet in bay i was very impressed, you guys stayed alive much longer than you should have.

Thanks to FURY for the fights yesterday. At one point we were in the lords of FSP’s NE tower, you guys were in the courtyard and a huge FSP zerg was at the gate trying to get in. I’m not quite sure how we ended up in that situation but it was fun whilst it lasted.

Also a big thanks to KISS and LoE, we watched you very closely on reset night and stole some of your tactics. It took us a few days to gear and practice, but when we started running our new builds early in the week it really helped a lot. It took our zerg busting to a whole new level.

/salute to FSP and AG. We’ll see FSP at reset, and hopefully we get matched-up with AG again in the not too distant future, it seems unlikely, but one can hope.

Had a lot of fun in FSP tonight, we didn’t stay long but that 3 way battle for the north eastern supply camp was great. 20 minutes of back and fourth between us, NP, and a large group of FSP. After the initial fight it looked like FSP were wiping us but somehow we survived and managed to regroup at the back of the camp. We then attacked and had FSP on the verge of wiping when NP showed up and hit us in the back, the back and fourth continued for another 20mins before FSP wiped us.

Absolute chaos, but a lot of fun.
