Does anyone know how was it possible for them to be up there? We took back the garrison almost 2 hours ago.
Could have been a sneaky mesmer you didn’t clear out. Then again, it isn’t the first time that PINK and questionable mesmer activity have been linked.
I don’t even understand why this was posted.
You A) don’t need to be in the keep to get to that spot, and B ) can’t get into the keep from that spot. The “questionable mesmer” activity was just a Yak commander missing a mesmer on a sweep and being too embarrassed to admit that he did. We’ve used the same hiding spot quite a few times on that tower and you A) can only get to it from inside the tower, B ) are usually hard to find unless they’re specifically looking for it. It also seems like he misunderstood the response to indicate that the mesmer used a glitch in terrain to jump onto the tower, when in fact, she was saying she was hiding in a spot that required some jumping to get up to the lord (but cannot be accessed if you’re not already in the tower).
People need to stop blaming exploits and hacks every time something unexpected happens.
Just pointing that when we come in game nothing can stop us retaking all map whatever is the TC zerg: we showed it twice yesterday and we had fun ! Next week will be much more fun even :p
You have in my opinion 2 kinds of wvwer:
- First is people who play for the win (those who constantly jump from a server to another)
- Second these who play for fun whatever is the score (like CD population)
Moreover anyone saying CD population in wvw decreased is not right. I am an EU player and massively EU major guilds transfer in here when a place si free. CD has a huge wvw player base but most of guilds are not giving themselves the potential to lead a war claiming keeps and waiting anyone else upgrade it… That’s a problem. War need gold as far as I know only few people dare to waste plenty money in a wvw week.
You have to know that CD almost don’t loose any wvw player base !!! Paople saying it are just making some propaganda ^^.
Anyway, for CD this week is a good 2nd place week as we will reach global rank 8 from 9.
Next week with Yak’s around serious matters will start
So far I love the rushes we did in our homeland because without the numbers we used tactics and we took over plenty times larger zerg than us. With some fast strikes and supply cuts we leaded TC in a situation when every keeps they owned were out of supplies with gates close to 0 hp ^^ so far they didnt knew what to defend and where we gonna strike. Removing commander tag and information in local chat on critical moves to keep the surprise and avoid spies helped a lot and confirmed us the placement in CD of TC spies ^^([Pink] players with their guild tag… on our side suspected !!!). We took back our ground in 2hours and TC provided us like 15free golems supplies from their keeps fully supplied that we have been taking.
Then suddenly TC disappeared after loosing their zerg plenty times and running away in every ways ^^.
So remember [LORD] is a guild you have to deal with in serious matters now. We are awaiting for our EU players (France/German and UK) that are leading their way to CD everytime transfer is possible !
Thanks for visiting our wvw ground and provide us much fun and loot bag (So many badges since the week started !!! =>about 200+ ^^)
CD are skilled palyers and is a server that is not basing their gameplay only on zerging, oh yeah !!!
Titan War (Warrior)
Man. Really? I don’t mind the chest thumping and propaganda, but are we still doing that thing where we call out guilds on the forums without evidence? PiNK just kicked out every member of the guild not on TC two or three days ago.
I do agree that “piling on” is bad, and usually leads to flame outs…so measured improvement to a number of servers is the best outcome.
(* ignoring fun can be had regardless of score/tier etc….just referring to “scoring”)
That’s basically my point. I’m all for guilds moving servers to give them better coverage, but I really wish they would just move and not try to get a bunch of other people to move with them at the same time. This way the server gains a steady improvement in performance rather than a huge boost that leads to unbalanced matches for weeks. You can see the evidence of the latter in the last two week’s match ups as the ranking system tried to balance out ET/HOD losing their WvWvW populations and SoR/SoS/BG gaining a significant amount.
I don’t mind an EU guild moving to an NA server or vice versa, and certainly FA could use you guys. However, trying to get as many EU guilds to go with you at the same time is only going to screw up the ladders yet again for the tier that FA is in and the tier above it.

Jaden, would that be garrison, Hill’s or Bay? I can make sure the Defiance Crew is there to play. Grab Pink, and all the others and message me where to meet you. Its always a good fight when we meet on the battle field. Tosses out a gauntlet. . . Toast BL all week. Bring it all, we will let your 6 gods sort it out. . .
I’m not keen on the notion that if someone has a valid complaint but had a lapse in foresight and didn’t take a screenshot, then their assertions are unscrupulous and unfounded. And, I never said I wanted apologies or anything else from anybody nor am I naive to expect such things to come out of this environment of attitude and chest thumping; I merely wanted to vent my frustrations in a thread titled “Dragonbrand, Fort Aspenwood, Tarnished Coast” concerning the camping taking place in the matchup between these three servers. You want narratives of exciting moments from folks. I want honorable and sporting combat, not unskilled, boring, and classless camping.
Take it easy and have fun next week.
Man, you aren’t even reading what I’m typing. Please do that before putting more words in my mouth. But I guess it doesn’t matter either way. All this complaining when FA specifically told us they were hitting us last week to drop us into their bracket (not that we needed the help) is just about as classless as spawn camping.
In one post you accuse me of stretching or misrepresenting the truth because I had no screenshots to back up my claim, yet you describe a situation, without a screenshot, that simply isn’t accurate. The time I was there with some TC folks running around with Halloween tonics, there were in fact quite a lot more than 5 TC people. “Random” siege… what exactly do you mean by random? It just fell out of your pockets and lo and behold ooops we got siege equipment. There were 2 ballistas on the vista with 4 folks from the same guild standing up there shooting at folks behind the gateway. 3 ballistas and, I believe, an arrow cart in the supply camp shooting at folks if they dared to go out the gateway. And then a LOT of folks that weren’t with the Halloween tonics running in front of the gateway from one side to the other side blasting folks on the wall and pulling them down when they got too close to the edge.
I’m not going to try to convince you that you weren’t being spawn camped; it’s just going to devolve to he said she said since my (admittedly imperfect) memory of the situation seems to be radically different from yours. I also wasn’t accusing you of lying any more than you’re now accusing me.
My point is that the issue has been debated to death in like fifty other threads before this. Spawn camping happens in overly one sided matches, either on purpose, or because the losing team attacks a group and then retreats to their spawn for safety. There are also three exits to every spawn, only one of which leads directly to a map objective (in Borderlands). When you call out guilds like this without anything to substantiate it, it’s just flame bait because it invites the opposing side to air out all their griefs as well, and also encourages less scrupulous people to just make things up. And honestly, assuming everything is as you said, what did you want to happen? A public ostracizing? An apology? I’d rather people just stuck to recounting exciting moments like Sharpclaw said and use a different thread to vent their issues if they really need to.
These kinds of posts always bug the hell out of me on the forums. Without screenshots, there’s no way to verify the truth of the matter, and the perspective of one person, guild, or even server is rarely the whole picture. So really, all you’re doing is dragging guild names in the mud without any substantial evidence. Throw in subjective words like “a lot”, “several masses”, etc etc, and it becomes even worse.
For example (mentioning this because I recognize your guild tag), 5 people throwing up random siege equipment -build sites- (including rams) at the northern supply camp and running around with Halloween tonics on while 20 people tried taking pot shots at them from behind before running into the gate hardly counts as “spawn camping”. But I can see why you may think it was.
Saying that Guardians, or any profession for that matter, is designed to do one thing and therefore it’s okay for abilities get nerfed because they can still do that one thing is pretty narrow minded. The whole point of traits is so that a profession can fill in different roles on a team depending on how they’ve set up their traits and gear. If someone wants to play an offensive guardian, they should be able to do so with reasonable success, even in tPVP. Locking guardians into being a point defense profession will just make them boring over time.
