Guild Wars 2

Something is only OP if it cannot be countered.

Vaporform can be countered (either no place to run, or immobilize before poping it).

Sure, not everyone can counter it everytime, but how would you like it if your class ability was always countered everytime?

So Vaporform is not OP, but people don’t like it because they don’t have that ability. Should thieves lose stealth because I can’t do that? Should mesmers lose clones because I cannot summon clones? Should necros lose corrupt boon because I cannot corrupt boons? Should engineers… umm… well you get my point.

If everyone gives up their class advantages, then we have one really boring game.

Don’t forget that all eles are not D/D eles.

Granted, my staff ele is hard to kill (though easier than a D/D ele). However, I also have to expose myself to a lot of damage to be effective. I’m usually quite vulnerable while casting meteor, and I’m pretty useless in a 1v1.

(P.S. There is a hard counter for Vaporform, not a lot of people use it, but I hate it when people figure it out.)

Now of course, Os would focus on GoM no matter who is winning, but that is only because they have a HUGE crush on us. We love you too Os.

A large group of Os (maybe 30-40) got killed at ruins last night in DR BL by an equally large force of DR, I’d guess. I suppose that they took a wrong turn on the way to GOM BL.

You see, the problem with saying things like “Os will focus on GoM no matter who is winning” is that you are not at all places at all times. My group has fought Os and NSP far more than it has fought GoM. Of course, you would not know that because you were not there. However, you just assume that because you don’t see something it must not be happening.

That is what is called a failure of logic.

I think you took my joke a little too seriously. I’m sorry that I wasn’t clear.

Of course Os does other stuff, but if you want to know where Os will be on reset, look to GoM Hills. I’m just teasing Os about it, not making any grand logical argument.

To any GoM players who are still complaining about winning, please stop. This is a great match-up, it is loads of fun, and in case you didn’t notice we are still winning.

To everyone else, please don’t let listen to the vocal minority from our server. We are not offended by you guys focusing us. The number 2 and 3 servers are supposed to focus the number 1 server, that is the point of a three way battle. Of course, it is frustrating for GoM, but it must also be frustrating for you guys. I actually respect NSP and DR more because you are not playing for second.

Now of course, Os would focus on GoM no matter who is winning, but that is only because they have a HUGE crush on us. We love you too Os.

Edit: I don’t know what guild Entropy is from, but I’m sure Os would sign this letter too.

Dear GoM,

I know we had our spats at times. I know we fought bitterly towards the end there, but we really, REALLY miss you and we’ve been thinking we made a terrible mistake leaving you for SF. At first, Sorrows Furnace seemed like it was everything you weren’t. On our first few dates, SF was super easy to get along with. But after we started going steady, SF turned into a total nightmare to live with. It’s just not working out. SF is, like, totally wrong for us.

Look, we… we might have rushed into things. We regret breaking up with you, GoM. You should move back in with us in T7. SF just doesn’t get us. Last night at 4:00am they camped our spawn point for hours with a massive zerg while they simultaneously hit our keep so we never had a fair chance of defending it. I know we accused you of cheating on us with HoD, but you would never have camped our spawn point like that. Never. You always took our keep fair and square. SF is super insensitive to our needs. They mercilessly taunt us on the forums and mega zerg us constantly. It’s just not the same as it was with you, GoM. No more razor close matches, no more waking up on sundays and going shopping with you at the Skritt farmer’s market for shinies. Sigh. We want you back GoM. I know you’ve got a new tier now and you’re seeing somebody else but I think we should give this relationship another chance. Come back to us GoM. Fight your way out of this T8 mess so we can break up with SF and get back to some fun, sexy, romantic WvW. We miss you.

Love,
NSP

P.S. I found one of your old loot bags in Golanda and it still smells like you.

Wow… so much misinformation, trolling, and pointless arguing.

Lets play the game and enjoy the close match-up before something screws it up again.

Devanuze.8734:

it makes me laugh how theres not a spot of interferance on either NSP BL or DR BL from eachother. 90% sure this is a co-ordinated attack by your commanders,

But if thats what it takes for you to beat a single server…

(SS from slightly before Honeybuns)

Coordinated? No, that almost never happens.

Intentionally focusing down the top server? Yes.

In fact, this is the way it is supposed to be. Its nice to see that both DR and NSP won’t settle for playing for second. It will make for a better match-up, even if it means GoM losing first place. I would rather lose a good fight than win an easy one.

PAXA should go to GoM to add some fun to this tier

Nah, too zergy for our liking. Nothing against people who enjoy running in 15ish people prime time, just not for us. Hope you’re enjoying the tier though, I know there’s a decent amount of groups that run around in those numbers… also the bad zergs like MoB (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8mhcGMmsNk “GROUP UP” -zergballs- “MOVE IN 3, 2, 1” zergball rolls down a hill) that are easy bloodlust stacks.

Yeah, this is a really bad tier for 5 mans, for sure. Once primetime hits there are some insane numbers moving around at times. I think one of the reasons is because the matchup is very close. In the upper tiers, when there is a blowout the population drops (for all sides) significantly after the first weekend leaving mainly people who PvP just because they enjoy PvP. When that happens, it is pointless to run 10-15 and we typically break off into separate groups. Can’t do that in this tier ATM during the evening.

Hope you get the small-man thing going on T8.

I’m gonna have to disagree with this. I’ve been doing nothing but 5 mans all week (aside from last night, when an unheard of amount of [RH] were online) and I haven’t had a problem at all.

I’ve run into other small groups/skirmishes/3-way fights pretty regularly. It’s part of the reason I’m having so much fun in this tier!

Sure we run into the occasional zerg, but then we either run to our guards or try to make sure we take out at least twice our numbers.

The fact that people are referring to groups of 15+ as zergs leads me to believe that we don’t realize just how good we have it here. After all, it gets boring wiping 5 mans all the time. The occasional 10-15 man group is a welcome challenge

Shhhhhh!!!!

If PAXA transfers to GoM then I have to stop making fun of them.

Edit: Also I’m pretty sure teivospy got perma-banned from the forums. Yam, aren’t you worried about getting banned yourself by trying to circumvent a forum ban?

Holy cow! SOOOOOO much drama.

Jscull.2514:

Sorry but running anything over 8 in this game just isn’t impressive. You can wipe 25-30 with 8 people, anything over that number just jacks through the roof, and the number of skills used per player drastically decreases.

I’m still sad PAXA didn’t get to meet Agg.

Play nice now, soon we will be back

Hope so! Same with Eredon Terrace and Ferguson’s Crossing. It would be neat to see some more regular server exchanges between tier 7 and 8.

I agree, but I don’t think it will happen until Devon works out a new ranking system. It’s clear that on the bottom, there are 7 servers which could play together on a rotating basis without major washouts (ET, FC, HoD, GoM, NSP, DR, IoJ). Here is hoping they figure it out soon.

Just about every time I’ve logged in this weekend, we’ve owned SM. Obviously, Zombieland is doing something right. Besides… this story is lacking some details. Was that tower upgraded? A fully fortified Wildcreek is an absolute nightmare to deal with. Was anyone else working on SM at the time? A golem rush on a tough tower while a separate group takes down a wall-less paper SM is a good play.

At any rate, calling them out on the forums is no good. Just send them a whisper if you don’t agree with a plan. They might be seeing something you don’t, or vice versa.

No they don’t. In fact we normally capture SM when the GoM commanders are on, Knighpiepoe, or something like that, and The Old Spartan in especial.

While i witnessed they leaving because the moment we get SM 4 commanders pop in the mid of castle and begin to give strange orders like “attacking Durius while SM, with normal gates/walls, is being trebbed from Klovan”

Yesterday we captured SM, had ppl running supplies, 80% of the upgrade completed.
Our outter walls were down, and we called for help.(had like 15 players there)

We had every thing to hold SM, we had sieges inside lord room and upgrade would be going up in 5 minutes.
They gave orders to abandon SM and attack Meldon that were being taken 1 minute before.

Their explanation: it would be “easy” to take back SM.

They ended wasting 30 minutes on that in the mean time we lost SM and Anzalia. they lost more 30 minutes to take back anzalia and went to to enemy land to be wiped 10 times in a row without taking a single tower.
Went to SM and got wiped 5 times did this kittenty golem rush taking only one tower, and immediatly losing it after that because they didn’t defend.

After that one commander log out and the other ppl just didn’t follow his orders anymore.

From 310 points per tick we went to 200 because of them.(yes. it’s their fault because they just pop up commander when we already have commanders, 2 commanders giving completely different orders will never work)

They don’t do separate play. Their average plan for what i’ve seen is: throw players and sieges at the enemy, if it doesn’t work throw more.

I don’t think they are a good thing to GoM.

When i asked them wtf they were doing they answer with a “Shhhh GoM learn to play”
followed by a “you don’t like what we are doing? buy a commander for yourself”.

That’s why i HATE the commanders system in this game. This puts a bunch of PVE players in the place to command a PVP group.(pve because the only kinda of player i see throwing down 30 g like it’s nothing or is a bot or a 100% farmer)

This only ends in pathetic results.

In fact i’m kinda of tired of seeing commanders with legendaries that never upgrade towers/keeps. it’s almost funny how the “normal” players who doesn’t have legendaries/money to waste are the ones who actually do that.

i didnt bother reading this because it was too long and im but just a puppy

Me too… except for the puppy part.

I really tried to read it like three times…

At any rate, calling them out on the forums is no good. Just send them a whisper if you don’t agree with a plan. They might be seeing something you don’t, or vice versa.

I couldn’t agree more.

I know this is a crazy concept, but if you have a question for Zombie Land, you could try asking Zombie Land, instead of posting on the match-up thread. Certainly don’t repeat unsubstantiated rumors like they are true (It is quite obvious that Zombie Land does not hate GoM).

WvW is as much about morale as it is about tactics, and these sorts of “call-outs” only make things worse for everyone. We are all on the same team, whether we like it or not, so we need to learn to work with each other.

The relatively drama-free nature of the GoM community has been great, it is worth protecting.

Attic.1562:

Thanks for posting Mike. Would you mind answering another question while you’re at it?
-Is dropping siege blueprints for other characters to pick up an intended function? It seems very bizarre.

It is indeed intended (and bizarre). We would actually prefer to just make the blueprints tradeable, but [B]there are a couple of funky code interactions[/B] that happen to make that impossible for us currently. It’s something we’d like to address at some point, but it’s not very high on the priority list currently.

Also;

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Arenanet-willing-to-share-WvW-details/page/2#post1192287

We tried changing blueprints to being account bound and it completely broke the pack up skill when holding the blueprint so we can’t do that either unfortunately.

I’m hoping that someday may find some programmer magic that can solve this so we can at least get rid of them being soulbound, but[B] nobody is looking at it currently[/B].

(Also, in before CC Eva, “Since this question has been answered, I’m going to lock this thread”).

I will let you draw your own conclusions, but perhaps Devon has bigger plans than account bound.

Its been a great match-up with you guys in ET and FC. I have a lot of respect for both servers.

I think you guys will find HoD to be a good match for you, now that Zombieland has transferred off. You will be in for a REALLY close matchup (I’m actually a little envious).

Just one piece of advice before we go, morale is everything. It was pretty clear to us when you guys had bad morale and when your morale improved. You guys are quite the force to be reckoned with, so don’t let anyone demoralize you. If you can keep high spirits, even when losing, then you guys will do great.

Oh and watch out for PAXA. Think of them as the Agg of forum warriors. I think they PvP also.

Its all good, PAXA has a master plan to join all the other roamers in a land of happy free roaming where no-one ever can count past 5. They will be missed…by our thread’s post count.

Wat? Is PAXA leaving? I heard WvW went down to GoM as well. What’s with all the transfers lately.

PAXA is on HoD, so when HoD goes down to T8, they will leave T7. They are not transferring to GoM.

For Grape Justice [FGJ]

Too bad Agg couldn’t wait a few more weeks to transfer. I wanted to see PAXA complain about Agg, it was going to be soooooooooo funny.

King Amadaeus.8619:

Just popped in to check on mid and lil brother(s). Keep up the good fight, eventually you will prevail, perhaps once HoD exodus people stop arriving at GoM.

Hold the train! What, people are hopping from HoD to GoM now that they are swapping places? Hopefully not our former ET friends. I was looking forward to seeing them out in about back in T8! Sounds like this thread needs some more popcorn! Get that kettle heated up!

You can read about it in the T7 thread, if you can stand sifting through trolling long enough to find it. Short version: Zombieland [WvW] is transferring to GoM. So your former ET buddies will still be on HoD when they drop to T8.

What a misleading title…

WvW is failing? Even if everything you said was true (which it is not), WvW would not be failing. Queue times result from high demand, the opposite of failing.

3/4 of your problems with WvW can be solved by transferring to a lower tier server.

Usually, Millenium is out of date, but right now it is not.

http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#NA

In case you missed it: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/introducing-custom-pvp-arenas-and-spectator-mode-beta/

So my question is, how will this effect WvW?

There have been many debates within WvW about “playing for kills” and “playing for points.” Many times, I’ve heard people say that they are only in WvW because there is no other option for “kills based” PvP. With custom arenas, that might all change.

So what do you think? Will you still be in WvW once custom arenas come out?

Hematuria.4051:

Buddy.7563:

The Defend the Keep event won’t start unless a gate or wall is being damaged, so it must have ended shortly after they took down the inner gate, causing the waypoint to be open during the whole fight in the Lord’s room.

If a group gets ported past the inner gate, could they attack the npcs without setting off the swords?

Sorry if I don’t use the correct terminology, I don’t know it.

Only attacking the gate sets off swords, if I recall correctly.

Specifically, doing damage to walls or gates sets off the swords. For the next three minutes after the trigger, the keep will be contested. After the three minutes, a wall or gate must be damaged again to re-contest the keep.

So to answer the question about the mesmer port, you are correct. If you don’t have to attack any gates, then you can take something without swords.

To answer the question about what happened to bay, this is likely what happened: GoM opened the inner gate right before the three minute timer completed. So the keep went uncontested, but no one was damaging a gate or wall anymore, so it stayed uncontested.

Actually, GoM should have attacked another gate once to deny you the waypoint, but probably didn’t realize it. We have had this scenario happen to us many times.

All of the speculation about people leaving T8 is interesting, but to see the whole picture, I think we need to look at T6 as well.

Except for this week (for some strange unknown reason), DH has been destroying DR and IoJ in T6. In fact, DH has been destroying them harder than DH destroyed GoM and HoD. This could mean that IoJ and DR are weaker than GoM/HoD, especially because both HoD and GoM are a lot stronger now than we were back then.

If IoJ and DR are weaker than GoM/HoD, then the following could happen:

1) SF moves up to T6, pushing IoJ down
2) NSP and HoD destory IoJ, stealing all their rating
3) DH and SF destroy DR, stealing all their rating

Then it is a toss up what will happen first

4) IoJ and GoM switch places
—OR—
4) NSP and DR switch places

After that, it is too hard to predict anything else.

Of course that is all rampant speculation. The underlying assumption (that IoJ/DR might be weaker than GoM/HoD) could very easily be wrong. That said, I definitely think that the fall of IoJ and DR will shake things up for us in the lower tiers.

In case you missed it, the reset time changed again, it is now 9pm EST.

You should ask T7 for the Gommiebear recipe while you are at it.

You are right about GoM, we always make a comeback during the week. We don’t give up. We do however get distracted…

There was a score update in that picture?

You think that one is hidden? Here is an old one to refresh our minds:

This is some GW2 softcore erotica. Which brings me back to an old gripe.

I demand that GW2 stop forcing its players to create hot ladies. There is total hot woman bias in its character creation system. I tried for an hour to create a really ugly “One Angry Sista” and failed miserably. GW2 is going to force girls into a false sense of hot avatar identity which may scar a generation of young GW2 fans. Seriously ANET stop corrupting the minds of todays youth!

Let there be fugly female avatars!

Bro have you looked at some of the female norn options??? Its like Nebraska in that piece….

Ok, lets please put this whole hacker thing to rest.

I’ve been PMing with Cross. (He is a genuinely nice guy who said he would stop posting about this and actually did, others are keeping this alive now.)

He did not see any hacking, but instead some Ranger/Engi high evasion builds from RH, and snow leopard form used by ART. Lets be honest, Snow Leopard form almost feels like hacking, zooming across the map stealthed. It is not unreasonable to mistake it for a hack.

But, there was no hacking and the situation has been cleared up.

Cross, you don’t know RH.

RH does not hack, ever, period.

Perhaps you don’t know this, but the reason GoM is in T8 is because of hackers. GoM got a bad rep for being the “hacking server.” While there where definitely hackers in GoM (which we on GoM reported constantly), so did all the other servers. But this “OMG GoM is dirty server of dirty hackers” thing got so bad, that many of our guilds transferred to other servers.

Those of us who stayed on GoM HATE hackers, and we take any hints of hacking very seriously. If you have actual proof of hacking, PM it to anyone on GoM and I promise you that the GoM alliance will mass report them into oblivion. If you don’t have proof, then keep it to yourself. Baseless accusations don’t help anything.

My curiosity overcame my good sense. I peeked at the T7 thread. I was a little concerned about the drama starting to appear in our little thread but after perusing T7, I see I have nothing to worry about (in comparison).

On top of that, after 3 thread locks (Or is it more? I lost count), I’m sure some of the offenders are still on forum suspension. Yet they still have plenty of troll to go around.

Anyone want to make some predictions on when the next T7 thread lock will be?

There is clearly a lot of misinformation going around. Any chance we could get representatives from [Agg] and [FSU] to clear everything up?

This is seriously cutting into our “make fun of T7” time.

Let’s keep things civil. We don’t want T7 to think our thread is interesting, they might come for a visit.

/shudder

With that in mind, stop accusing [Agg] for everything please. [Agg] is good at what they do, and it takes a lot of skill to do it. We can argue until the heat death of the universe over how effective it is in T8, but I’d much rather play the game and find out.

I also sincerely hope that there is no mass exodus from FC. That happened to GoM before (repeatedly) and it sucks. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Selfishly, I love this balanced match-up, and a gutted FC would destroy that too.

Avatar of Belle.9623:

To echo Cedrick, this has been one of the most fun reset nights I’ve had in months. FSAE spent 8 hours in EB in glorious back and forth battles with both FC and GoM. Thanks for all the fun times!

I especially enjoy how Stonemist flipped to all the servers throughout the night and we were constantly on the defense. We used huge amounts of siege, died an almost equally large number of times and fought and killed countless invaders and had a blast doing it. I look forward to more of the same for the rest of the week!

<3 FC, <3 GoM!

Enjoy it Belle, and all of you in T8….T7 reset night was bleeeeeeeeeeeeh…..Might have been ok in some maps, but we got introduced to skill lag in EB…Honestly had never seen it before to this extent….We had a 3 way going in SM, and all of us were pretty much on a 2 second delay to activate skills…The game was barely playable, I take that back it was literally unplayable….

My advice is to enjoy and hope to stay in good ol T8 as long as possible…Granted this only has occurred to my knowledge on reset, and on EB….But it obviously has the capability to occur anywhere given the right circumstances are met (pretty much just need a kittenton of people from each server)….I honestly do not know how/why people in higher tiers could/would play this game if that is common.

I don’t think we need to worry about changes in T8 anytime soon.

It looks like SF and IoJ will trade places soon (this week or next). I don’t think that HoD and NSP will dominate IoJ hard enough to force them down to T8 (although I honestly have no idea how strong IoJ is). So unless IoJ turns out to be really weak, T8 will stay this way for a long time.

I’m not welcome at GoM, I have been told so.

Hello, glad you are all taking interest in countering my guild. It’s nice to see both servers theory crafting on idea’s but you won’t beat us unless you bring a good group of 20 or more people together under the same teamspeak channel with proper builds who listen to their commander.
It wouldn’t hurt to combine all of your organized guilds together as 1, that’d be challenging I think.

Honestly, I don’t enjoy zerg-ball-o-death game play. On T1 you don’t have a choice, but on T8 we have room to be… creative.

Wow… three thread locks.

At this rate, the mods will be looking for a way to prevent you from restarting the thread.

Vash.9183:

While it’s nice that you acknowledge our guild, I’d like to point out that it is not true that ET loses while we aren’t online. We only play 3-4 hours a day as a guild and tend to stick on only one borderland. If it’s mostly GoM vs Agg then you guys must only play 3-4 hours a day as well.

Either way, it’s been fun fighting you guys and we look forward to the continued fights. Keep it up, guys!

Fair enough. I only play in a 6-7 hour window. I obviously cannot comment on the ET or GoM’s performance during other times.

I guess what I was trying to say is that when I’m playing, you can tell if Agg is on by the PPT. If we are losing bad, Agg is on. If we are gaining points, Agg is off.

Jeknar.6184:

T7 poked SF (and I’d say the entire T8) with a lot of people saying “You guys just suck, that’s why you are on T8”, “Any server that come out from T8 will be utterly destroyed at T7”, “The server that drop down from T8 willl ROFLSTOMP you guys harder than SF ever did” and more… And I personally find amusing that the very same people (most at T7 since they are HoD/NSP) are angry about SF mocking T7+GoM. You guys started that in the first place, and now on T7 thread all you see is cry about how numerous SF is and that they should move up a tier quick (Hey, wasn’t SF stuck at T8 because they sucked?).

Long story short: HoD/NSP/GoM asked for it, now deal with it!

I don’t know if you noticed, but NSP (and HoD thanks to PAXA) is a server full of trolls. When you get mad at “all of T7,” take a closer look at who is talking. Do those trolls deserve what came to them, yes. Was GoM trolling you? Largely no.

Just take a look at the match-up threads. The current T7 thread is about to be closed for the third time, and this thread has been nice. GoM is not the troll server, please don’t lump us in with NSP…

I realize that while stuck in the T8 trap, if felt like it was T8 VS the world. But in reality, there were a lot of other people who rallied to your defense (I was one of them, btw). Half of the people saying “T7 will destroy T8” were from JQ and other T1/T2 servers, don’t lump us in with them, and don’t lump us in with all the NSP/HoD trolls.

When we had our Alliance meeting right before joining T8, we were concerned that the rumors might be true and T8 would be a washout. When we learned that it would be a fair fight, we were happy.

So if you want to “stick it to them trolls” go for it, you won’t find them here.

pulsecodesgnl.3470:

That’s part of what makes me miss t8 -_-, at least you guys get to have relevant discussions to the thread. How does GoM fare against ET’s zergball tactics, and FC’s new coordination/gear knowledge from VK?

Are they just scoring during non-peak hours? Or are they holding their own against the [Agg]’s of t8?

We have never encountered anything like Agg before. We are learning and adapting and testing out new tactics. Only time will tell how successful we are, but we are definitely improving. The rest of ET has not been too hard to deal with, and you can easily tell if Agg is online based on whether ET is winning or losing. (No offense intended to ET).

I don’t do EB much, so I’m not sure about there, but mostly FC and GoM have been leaving each other alone. FC shows up everyone once in a while, taking advantage of GoM downtimes or an ET push (no shame in that, it is good tactics), but mostly it has been GoM vs Agg.

Overall, it has been a fun match-up. I’m really curious to see what happens. Can we (GoM) develop a solid counter to Agg? If so what will Agg do? Should be fun to watch.

I’m still not sure why GoM was so upset to move down to T8. This matchup this week has been pretty darn good! I think it will come down to the wire on Friday. Seems GoM is a pretty good fit right now with ET and FC.

FC needs to step it up a little! We lost too much on Sunday and are now still trying to get the points back. We can do it!

I think most of GoM is ok with the move. We were bitter, because anet ruined the really competitive tier we were in, and pushed us down 3+ ranks. But it turns out that we have a new really competitive tier, so personally I’m happy.

Even better, we don’t have all the NSP forum trolls anymore. It looks like SF forum trolls + NSP forum trolls = multiple closed threads.

(If ET insists on breaking out of T7, please make sure you send HoD down. I’m enjoying the relatively troll free thread.)

Are any of the (larger or more structured) WvW guilds recruiting on GoM? It sucks being the only one in our small friends and family guild that likes to WvW.

I usually play after work for a couple hours M-F around 7:00 PM Pacific and every weekend morning for a few hours and various times during the weekend days and evenings.

(I did post in the ‘Guild’ forum, but there isn’t much from GoM on there.)

I would rather not transfer off GoM as it has been my home since headstart.

In any case, I will see you all on the battlefield tonight after work.

Thanks for reading and hit me up if you might have a spot for me.

My suggestion for you (or for anyone in your boat), is to join us on the GoM Alliance Teamspeak3 server. There are a lot of guilds represented there, and we all work together. You wouldn’t even need to change guilds, you can just pitch in, like a great many other little guilds do. However, if you are interested in joining a guild, you could run with the other guilds and try it out.

Speaking for ASH, feel free to run with us anytime.

GoM is fairly laid back about most things. I don’t forsee people getting upset with a commander – in fact the majority of the players are all too happy when one of our commanders takes the reigns and starts issuing orders and coordinating people.

You should, above all things, do what is going to bring you the most fun. That’s how GoM operates. We like doing wvwvw, are fairly active pve wise and are a pretty welcoming community. Most of the wvwvw participants have been here since launch, and refused to leave their home server during the mass transfers over the last few months. This, more than anything else, has really created a pretty tight knit community who enjoys each others company!

If you decide to call GoM home – and this applies to anyone who may be thinking about a transfer – we’ll keep the lights on for ya!

I’d like to have some more silly fun, I think.

Don’t Worry, ASH is here! We put the “Madness” in GoM.

is that you atomic?

:O
Maybeeee, I remember there was a reason for lying down next to you, but why, slips my mind now no hard feelings though?

@dank MAN THIS IS MY THREAD NOW, I mean… Unless you wanna share or something… >.>

@iverna the phaze lyfe chose me, one day it may reject me, and when that day comes which could be soon, you never know o.o but havvik’s been doing naughty things to me to make me join LK too I’m scared for my life

It can be your thread!

Give in to the madness, we have cookies!

In all seriousness, I miss fighting Phaze. Fighting Agg is SOOOOO boring. Talk about bringing a fighter jet to a knife fight. It’s not even combat, just insta-kill steamrolling. I’m not in T1 for a reason…

We sure have a lot of anger in this thread, (and genuine I think, unlike NSP forum trolling).

I sympathize with ET and FC and the horrible match up you guys had to live with for so long. I also understand why some of us on GoM are mad with “dev-ine” intervention (transfers to enemies + point manipulation) which knocked us down quite a few ranks.

HOWEVER

Lets not lose sight of what we have. T8 is a really competitive tier right now, and I’m loving every minute of it. We have the potential to make T8 the most fun tier in the game. So lets enjoy it, and get to know our new neighbors, instead of yelling at the neighbor kids to “get off our lawn.”
