Guild Wars 2

Interesting, because I saw a single DB player (no guild tag, smart) flying in the air. It was an individual, and he stood perfectly still once spotted, but I don’t judge the entire server for it. Hopefully that sylvari warrior realizes he should have rolled a mesmer. PM for screenshots!

Skapocalypse.5236:

Oh Maguuma why did you push against us on FA borderlands. You never push the other invading team on a borderlands that isn’t your own on reset day. It only made it easier for FA to take their east keep back from you guys.

Oh well good fights so far.

That was Yamma X, our only remaining visage of the supreme commanding prowess of Tolbrinh.

Conner.1045:

Much as the Megawar battles are fun, the best times I’ve had where with 10 or less people going at it for control of a tower or supply camp. Small-scale fights are (at least to ME) the best part of WvWvW with every move, every action the difference between life and death. That’s when individuals really get the chance to shine and a lot of the best fights have been against DB folks lately. Already had a scuffle or two with the Mag people and they’re just as much fun to battle. I’m not a fan of /dance or /laugh emotes, If I kill someone after a tough fight, I WILL however offer a /salute or /bow out of respect.

We on Maguuma only dance to celebrate Tolbrin’s supreme commanding. He hath outwitted us on every warfront, and He is kind and merciful.

magumma is bad server does anyone know what server has cliffside poi??

I didn’t see less than 30 BT in one spot. Hoping it’s just reset night strategery.

ninjambo.3784:

Lots of fun tonight in DB BL! I gotta say it seems like Maguuma was overhyped, unless this is just a really messy reset like FA does most of the time.

We were indeed overhyped. We were facing mostly dead servers the last three weeks and so we stomped. We all got lazy about doing things wisely and didn’t have any consequences from silly mistakes. Our moving up was the result of a lot of unwanted transfers forming into mindless zergs attacking the closest enemy point and encountering no resistance.

I will give credit to how organized the zergs are in this tier. Moving together in a ball of 40+ and turning on a dime. It’s just not the type of playstyle that most of us were looking for. We’ll still fight, since that’s what we do, but please help us get down to our proper tier.

LieutenantGoogle.7326:

Small groups still have an effect in all tiers, capping camps, npc allies and un-upgraded towers. Just don’t go expecting to cap keeps with only 15 people o.o

I miss capping keeps with 5.

Benjamin.6235:

This is insanely boring.

you’re welcome to go back down to T4 or lower.

Please help us. This type of gameplay is not enjoyable.

cesmode.4257:

Benjamin.6235:

This is insanely boring.

Why? Because you’re not winning by 300k+?

Because Maguuma is not used to this kind of zerging. People complained about our zergs in previous matchups, but we haven’t even seen the semi-organized zergs in this tier. I remember FA showing us a lot of neat strategies but I suppose reset night isn’t about that.

And winning by 300k points is more boring than you’d ever imagine.

Ninein.4782:

From the past few weeks experience, only 2 maps at most queue up after reset.

Ninein.4782:

Think I’ll pull an all-nighter after missing so much action the last few weeks.

Hmm….

These are the worst queues I’ve seen on Maguuma, but the past couple of weeks weren’t a whole lot better.

5 minutes late to reset, 40 minute (and counting) queue. I don’t like the new Maguuma.

Acelerion.6820:

Look at it this way. We havent had a good fight in over 2 weeks. Many of us have been spending time in spvp for that very reason.

Maguuma was in a good place before all the transfers. It was in a “just right” tier where it wasent too zergy and there were still plenty of people around. Even if we do even out to have a balanced score the kitten borderlands are going to be packed with people and its going to be nothing but zerg fights 24/7.

Is TLP a new guild made of old Maguuma players? I don’t recall seeing that tag.

See above. I’m not complaining about “class unbalance.” I realize it’s not new, but more and more people are discovering it. Just as more and more people discovered permanently halting a camp capture when that was nothing new (but the highly viewed video made more people aware of it). There are obviously a lot of ways to do what they’re doing without using CnD on a gate, and there is a reason that most stealth skills have a cooldown.

People miss mesmers on every server and tier when they’re tunnel-visioned or don’t find any defenders. Of course it’s nothing new to have a dead mesmer body camped because people know that thieves, engineers, warriors, and guardians can hide in places that mesmers cannot and res them later. None of this relates to my point, though.

Chewy.9263:

Just because we are not backstabbing the wall because you think we should, does not make something broken. Should Mesmers not be allowed to throw down their illusions on a gate? Or a Ranger have their pet attack a gate? Or an Elementalist’s or Necromancer’s summons attack a gate? Or a Guardian’s weapon skills attack a gate? Or an Engineer’s turrets attack a gate? … I got nothin’ for Warrior :‘(. Point is, simply because you think something should be done in a certain way, does not make it the only right way. We’re Divergent thinkers here.

I play a mesmer and often hide in keeps and towers. I don’t have a way to remain in permanent stealth in an open area so maybe I’m just jealous. But all of the things you mention are to deal damage and don’t give anyone stealth, which is the crux of it.

If you did it on npc’s or other players, I’d see nothing wrong with it. But doing it on inanimate objects strikes me as something that simply didn’t occur to the developers. A lot of people had differing opinions on thieves being able to do this and prevent a zerg from taking a supply camp and arenanet made it pretty clear how they felt. Now that you’re releasing these videos I think we’ll see more people doing it and (maybe, I could be wrong) a response.

kfarb.6732:

Do you think Cloak and Dagger was meant to use on doors? Just curious.

Does damage to the door. You can even back stab a door if you want. You can CnD off siege and anything that can take damage from you so I would have to say yes. The only debatable thing is if they want you hitting a wall with CnD. But as you can see from the videos we never do that.

Right, but you’re not doing it to damage the door. It’s a neat use of mechanics but I wouldn’t expect to see this remain unchanged.

Do you think Cloak and Dagger was meant to use on doors? Just curious.

The King of Maguuma has spoken.

With Great Respect And Admiration,
Do It Two It

One time I defended a tower, too.

As a Recruitment Ambassador for Sea of Sorrows (#1 wvw tier1 superserver), I would suggest you join us. We have a time between 11:30AM and 12:00PM GMT when we do not have a queue in blue borderlands. If you can fill this timeslot, please whisper me asap. Transfers are usually impossible since so many people want to be a part of the #1 server, but we can coordinate a server blackout to let you transfer over.

A bit about our server:
-Large enough amount of players to save money on siege when taking keeps/towers.
-Active map chat.
-Two weeks of vacation time per year.
-Three (3) days unpaid sick leave. (Based on assumptions that every player puts in eight hour shifts. These hours can be used at will – ie, you do not need to use an entire day for a half-day leave.)
-Military command hierarchy that allows players to know their role. (Disrespect of commanders will result in -50 DKP.)
-Automated voicemail system to notify commanders when you won’t be able to log in.

As a new recruit you will be relegated to sentry duty. Each “sentry scout” is required to sit at each crossroads and sentry point and report on map activity. You will be afforded a generous 40 minute lunch break and two ten minute breaks. (Please remember to whisper your commander when you are going to take this time off!! We have had issues in the past.) After two weeks of sentry duty you will be promoted to dolyak escort services, but may be tapped for supply running if you stand out.

If you would like to play at any other time besides 11:30AM-12:00PM GMT, I apologize but this may not work out. Let me know if this sounds appealing to you or anyone else reading and I can forward you the appropriate paperwork. Please do not waste our time as Sea of Sorrows superserver is only interested in dedicated players.

Edit: Forgot to add, we are currently seeking staff elementalists only.

Can Yak’s Bend take an east keep on a map where they don’t have southeast spawn? I’d like to see them try for an experiment.

(There is only one jumping puzzle on the map.)

It is not nice to gain entry into a keep through illegitimate means. I know it’s easy points, but please don’t do that to us for the third time.

Best,

Zephyrus.9680:

So far I’ve seen good things from the guilds we gained so if we can keep the strong organization together that makes Maguuma what it is, I wouldn’t mind rising a tier or even 2.

I think you’ll find a lot of Maguuma players disagree. The mindless zergs we have going in maps are not the real Maguuma anyone has fought before, and they won’t be until we can get them into our voip for real coordination (spies welcome, we’ll still outplay you).

“the self proclaimed “All mighty skilled” server of Maguuma."

Who proclaimed this?

I think everyone who plays wvw should choose one server and transfer to that, then we could be the best.
