Putting the War in Guild Wars 2 - Saturday Night PVP/WVW Fights

Yup word-of-mouth, ppl on Guru post score updates in the various match-up threads

apparently, as of 10 minutes ago we were at:

SoR: 202,618 +180
NSP: 201,112 +265
Yaks: 200,399 +250

so ridiculously close!

Wow. This has been an amazing match up. Not sure if I'll be able to get on tonight but if I do I'm heading to WvW. Oh wait, the matchup resets at 8pm Eastern, right?

I think last week it flipped over around 8:15-8:20

gonna try and get on for ~6:30 to pitch in on that final stretch.

So what was the final score? Heard that we slipped to third place at the last 30 min. Is that true?

At any rate, hope this week's game is also good. Looking promising so far.

We did

I was part of an amazing push on YB Borderlands at the last hour or so.

That sucks. Hopefully I'll be able to get some time in tomorrow to help propel us to victory this week.

We will need every player we can get. I was in the NS borderlands last night but we couldn't mount an effective offense against blue. We are solidly in second place but might be a blowout if things don't change.

I'll be jumping on in a couple of hours. I may be a bit early to be much help though, we'll see.

Well our server did well during the day but after East Coast primetime things fall apart. It's 9:30 here on the West Coast and NSP is getting totally rocked.

that's a shame, I played for a few hours of eastern prime-time and we were doing so well.

I actually got to see a wall of Stonemist go down and we successfully repelled the invaders from the breach till the wall went back up, very exciting and hectic fighting

update: apparently DarkHaven has a very strong overnight presence, look forward to a week of waking up to them owning everything.

That they do. Alot of my local guilds are on this server because of the strong Oceanic time zone numbers.

Well, another day of waking up to Darkhaven owning everything. sadface.

NSP had a great run last night though, I played in EB for a few hours and we eventually controlled all but 2 towers. I was able to take Durios Gulch with the help of a few pugs and claimed it for the OctoGear! I repelled the first few waves of invaders that tried our gates but it quickly became a focal point and DH set-up 2 catapults to bring our walls down. All in all we had it under guild control about 20 minutes.

I ran back to Stonemist and saw that a zerg was forming to take it back, so I used one of the trebs there to support them and had enough reach to hit the Durios gates.. that keep-to-tower treb fire is definitely something to look out for, it can make taking certain towers completely pointless. We went on to plow through the entire South-East portion of the map.

Really looking forward to the next match!

almost forgot...

Is there a way to see the current scores for all the server match-ups? How do other folks know how close our matchup is? Just word of mouth?

http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#NA this seems to be the resource everyone is using to report the scores, not sure if/how the inputs gets verified though.

Thanks, just found that same site linked from a Qt3 post as well. Pretty cool! Not so much how badly we're behind, though.

I went into Ebay borderland last night for about an hour. There was a 3-way battle being waged the entire time right there outside our spawn area and up to Redbriar and the nearby supply camp to the West. Pretty crazy. Must have been long before you got on if you played through to see us take everything in the map. We had a single supply camp the entire time I was in there Must have been fun!

ETA oh I misunderstood, you were in Eternal Battlegrounds. Thought your EB meant Ehmry Bay borderlands

I've learned my lesson, if we're being spawn camped I go to another map and try to accomplish something more useful. While those skirmishes in no-man's land can be exciting, they're not affecting the score.. so when I notice one of those is stalling out, I disengage.

and ya, I feel bad for the Ehmry Bay peeps.. that EB vs EBB confusion will never end for them.

I'll probably jump back in tonight after a bit of PVEing, I feel like I'm learning a lot this week

Nice little 5 man strike force tonight. We took a few supply depots and a tower. I also managed to get 2 levels and ding 80, so that was cool too.

Discovered yesterday you can have a surprising amount of fun with 2 people.

Ran around a couple of times taking supply camps, sentry points and dolyaks. Until bumping into enemy players fetching supply, then it ended badly.
