avoid someone using a retaliation build.

Basically, if you just stay away from this area you’ll be fine.

you’re completely right, this strategy has worked like a charm for me the last few weeks.

You’re just figuring this out? I’ve been using this sigil for months, I thought this was pretty common knowledge.

tldr: months behind

Who cares if FEAR has a mandatory camera download as part of their screening process. The tells you get from them when you kill their arrow cart with your own are amazing.

We had an enemy siegerazor glitch through the gate once, run upstairs, then run back DOWNSTAIRS, and put 100 supply in our depot. That was pretty funny.

Judging by teamspeak there must have been like 4 blackgate players there. A real shame!

Disappointing that people were giving Zaowi so much crap in map chat.

turns out if you fire your cannon mastery cannon at golems, they die really fast.

the more you know

If you’re referring to that epic fail of an 8 golem garrison rush we attempted, then yeah they do die really fast :P

I was actually in one of those golems. Port to door

Normal AC fire, no problem! That’s why we got 8 golems!

OH WHAT THE HELL JUST HIT ME FOR 40K

Didn’t even last 10 seconds ._.

Indeed. First time I got to use a cannon on a hard target since they fixed the traits.

Also, apparently golems scale with toughness given the range of the numbers I saw. Didn’t know that.

what a surprise, FIRE reviving mesmers through gates again.

SoR needs to play against Maguuma so we can find the real t1 forum warrior server

They’re not double teaming because of an agreement. They are just both attacking blackgate because it’s the server me and Nokura are on, and we are too awesome for anyone not to want to attack us.

I love the double teams personally. Getting 2-3k kills a night thanks to arrow cart buffs. No shortage of targets for me! As someone who doesn’t give 2 craps about ppt/scores it’s a godsend.

Probably because there is no water around SM. Also, it has like 28 breakable walls.

If anything, retaliation needs further adjustment.

I still have 17k hp remaining? Ok, I can throw a grenade barrage at my enemies to do some good aoe spike damage.

Oh, hey, I just downed myself in 3 seconds from nothing except retaliation damage.

Now I’ll just use the forum argument of “LOL JUST BOON REMOVE”. It’s just that easy guise!!!!! After that I’ll just never attack any enemies again. I’ll really be winning once I use that method! Thanks Haldunius. You are are a tactical battlefield genius.

Pictures of our little beauties

Didn’t even realize it was that many :o

We were ready for them coming though, I was scouting garrison’s depot and saw the drop

The omegas actually made it pretty far, got inner gate to 50. Normal golems on the other hand.. it just isn’t fair.

How to take hills from an outmanned buffed team: about 30 gold worth of golems.

wait that didn’t work either. back to the drawing board guys.

ARROW CART MASTERY LOL

It sure can be. Not always, but I know idiots who do it and how dumb it is.

Sharpoon.8197:

All that picture shows is that most people have no clue about proper siege placement. You can place defensive siege at many spots where it is out of range of Dragon’s Tooth. This is a “get good” situation.

So proper siege placement should account for people using camera hacks? Great thinking.

Yes, yes, arrow carts indeed. Now when two zergs meet on the field there will be time warped arrow cart building and they’ll just start firing crap at eachother from 3500 range rather than colliding into some kind of terrible dance routine.

Knowing all the slots you can target through in a keep really is paying off now. Farmed some bad zerg guild tonight in my garrison for ~1000 kills while they kept spamming me saying I’m cheating

I know it’ll get nerfed but it’s way too good not to abuse the snot out of atm.

I recommend using the old phalanx strategy. Just stay very close and tight. Also let me know you are coming first.

Quenta.2978:

Rams are mostly worthless now. They should make rams invincible to arrow carts.

That’s excessive, but the damage against rams/golems should definitely go down a bit. The blueprint description even says their intent is to be used as area damage against infantry(granted, it also uses the word “moderate”). Door siege melting IS pretty silly.

Then again, why do towers even HAVE doors to begin with? I mean if my house had a magical portal that only allowed people I liked inside, I don’t think I’d even bother with having a door.

Personally I think arrow carts should live up to their name a little better and be mobile, so I can push them around. It’s a real drag having to wait for people to come in range of it.

Seriously it’s not hard just don’t stand in the red circles and you’ll be fine

Awww, is your poor zerg actually stopped by siege now?

When bigger numbers meet dedicated wvwvw guilds from sor this is what happens:

What is the point of winning at the end of week on the points when you get destroyed like this all the time?

These fights were fun. Running with the 30-35 BG on the map into a map cap zerg over and over and still scoring plenty of kills. After awhile me and my groupmate just started killing and stomping their bad commander every run and they’d scatter and start wiping even though they still had probably 150% of our numbers in the field.

+1 for aperture science

160 is still Bronze Invader, so it doesn’t keep increasing every 10. Possibly every 30 like it was from Legend to Bronze Invader

So rank 120 is legend, which is a pretty neat title.. and then rank 150 is THIS?

Seems a bit like a step backwards.

i don’t know how anyone can even notice the chat box over the 5 signets

tagnut.8621:

if you’re worried about wxp then you’re doing it wrong.

S’far as i’m concerned you can turn it off – virtually pointless obsessing over it.

It’s not a matter of being worried about wxp. It’s the fact that full wxp gain from objectives/kills never being split directly causes enormous zergs to form for farming, much like karma trains from many months ago.

Glad I’ve got my spare 70 points saved up

world rank 129 turbo-awesomesauce looking for some server to buy me, starting auction bid at 78 silver and 3 slabs of red meat

Issues.5789:

I have a question; has TC ever had the outmanned buff ever?!

They had it last night/morning in EB when we decided to take stonemist from them.

It’s a rare sighting these days though.

ye kaineng doesn’t even have the people atm for this t2 matchup. t3 will prob. be better for now.

Unfortunately.5940:

Well it would be pretty awesome and probably more balanced than this matchup.

Such a shame too, this matchup was pretty good about a month ago until one of the servers decided they wanted a t1 amount of population.

Dontcare Aboutnames.9284:

So this is the highest rank I’ve seen someone so far. Congrats to whoever that is already hitting Legend I’m not even close to r120 haha, need to stop using alts!

thx, took lots of coffee

in b4 stack finishes

highest forum ppt

They just need to fill their coverage gaps okay. They were clearly the only server with coverage gaps. KN and FA obviously have no gigantic coverage gaps that also need attention. During EU time they probably only outnumber the combined other servers 2:1, so I believe that also counts as a coverage gap that they should begin to address by inviting the entirety of EU t3.

Recruitment posts no longer cut it these days, you’re supposed to buy the guild for your server with lots and lots of gold.

Quenta.2978:

I didn’t realize until today how much Kaineng is reliant upon their SEA players.

Kaineng’s NA has always sucked tbh. Even when this server was rising through the tiers they’d struggle to hold things against lower tier servers during NA time. Only reason they could was the overnight players taking and upgrading everything.

Each grenade can only individually hit 5 targets, though.

I gained like two world ranks in an hour defending SMC and nonstop wiping TC/FA zergs. badge galore too and half the time I didn’t even get to loot my bags

It seems AoN has rubbed off on the rest of FA everyone running when they see a TC name.

Correction: everyone running when they see the 80 TC names. Real display of skill you got there. There’s 80 of you.. only 5 of us. Must be because we’re bad.

clearly you are cowards and quite frankly Rambo would be disappointed

I think I killed about 25 arrow carts in total on that roof. Somehow neither TC nor FA realized you can just aoe them through the floor.

wtf, they’re double teaming sista on the forums
