Aoibheann Posted a Blog: New weekly Explorer & JP Achievements
Come join me for new adventures in Tyria! Since GW2 no longer has the monthly achievements, I have discontinued the monthly Puzzle Jumper event. Instead I am going to offer weekly Explorer Achievements as well as Jumping Puzzles that are NOT Mesmer taxi friendly (don't worry, we will still port the jumping impaired where ever possible. I will post each week which achievements we will be doing during the event so you can check to see which ones you need - they are worth 10 points each. I will attempt to do two at a time when ever possible - but the time will be restricted to 90 minutes to a 2 hour run per event so as not to interfere with other scheduled events...

Aoibheann Posted a Battle Recap: Last call for ornaments
Thank you all for joining me again today for the last official Scavenger Hunt. I have added 5 new Jump Puzzles to this event, plus we got to kill a Champ at the end of our run just before we jumped Tribulation Caverns as a group. Thanks for the extra ports and to Jay for tagging up at the end to lead the group into the port spot for the Coddler's Cove JP. I will be going back to doing the Puzzled Jumpers monthly instead of weekly after today. I will also have a few new puzzles next time around and (keeping my fingers crossed) I hope to have a taxi at the goggles above the Not So Secret JP chest - though it might not be next month, but I am working on it...

BananaPancakes Posted a Battle Recap: Goat, Smitty and Fog walk into a bar....
Today was an absolute blast with taking Fog on a dungeon date. We made it through the dungeon fairly quickly, and Fog even soloed a bit of it since the rest of us were all dying, dead, or taking turns trying not to die while rezzing the others. We came, we laughed, and we killed everything. Great dungeon with good peoples :)

Aoibheann Posted a Battle Recap: PPT
Sorrow's Furnace finally woke up today and had a large PPT when I logged in, so we went straight for the high points. First hitting all the keeps, then taking the towers, and only camps when we were bored or occasionally out of supply. Since it was reset night, we didn't do any upgrades - but don't get used to that. We had plenty of Golems to march around where needed, thank you to my Mesmers who were porting us. We also had some wonderful open field fights with KN as well as some great keep defenses when they tried, and failed to take back their Garri from us...

Smitty Posted a Battle Recap: Smitty's WvW Reset 1/9 - OMG! NEW PEOPLE! STABBY HUG TIEM!
For the first time in as many weeks, we have new faces to smash with our weapons! And it looks like its a server that has also fallen on hard times... Borlis Pass. Its a welcome change of pace versus Kaineng who moved up a tier. I wonder if they will miss us... Anyway... On to Borlis Pass! The evening was quite fun with a healthy mix of Siege deployment and in keep fighting. Following our usual scheme, we divided up forces every now and then and took down multiple targets successfully...

Marcovius Posted a Battle Recap: A Brave Foray Into PvP
With a few Intrepid Adventurers, we decided to dip our feet into the PvP pool and see how we would do. Well... we had some great fights, and although we didn't win either match we had a lot of fun. We were able to complete a couple of the PvP Daily Achievements, and also forged a PvP small group to meet up again tomorrow and pick up where we left off. The rust is slowly coming off, and I'm confident that we will do much better next time, and the time after that. Thanks, Marcovius

Smitty Posted a Battle Recap: Smitty's Sabres 1/7 - I shall call it... MegaZerg!
I am finding that I like Zerging less and less. It is an exercise in futility that leads to nothing but frustration. Let me explain. The end of my event consisted of 2 attempts on Stonemist and Kaineng's keep. All of them failed despite us having merged multiple smaller groups into a big Zerg. And because Kaineng was able to focus all their numbers on our single zerg, they were able to take us down en masse. It was messy and I could feel my German temper rising. Never a good sign. Luckily it was closer to the end of my event, so maybe I was just tired...

Aoibheann Posted a Battle Recap: Sorry I was late
A great BIG thank you to Marcovius for stepping up, tagging up and leading the charge until I was able to return. We had another great fight night. Kaineng had taken over our borderland and way pointed our keeps, so we took the fight back to their borderland and then cleaned them off our lands. Not only did we have some really good open field fights, but also some excellent (and successful) bunker fighting in the Keeps. What fun it was, see you again next time.... Aoibheann Sidhe

Marcovius Posted a Battle Recap: First *SOLO* Time Commanding!
Thank you very much for joining me in a true trial by fire! I saw that Aoibheann was delayed, so I tagged up and gave it a try. We had success taking camps and towers (sorry I can't claim them yet), but we were not quite able to crack into our Waypointed Keeps. I really appreciated the support and all of the positive feedback - we did what we could with what we had. I filled my bags and I really hope everyone had a good time! Thanks again, Marcovius

Smitty Posted a Battle Recap: Smitty's WvW Reset 1/3 - Rabbit Season... Duck Season...
SF Season... Kaineng Season... SF SEASON... KAINENG SEASON... It was open season on BOTH SF and Kaineng last night as we slammed the Sabres home through the hearts of both servers. With a total of 15 keeps taken over the course of the evening, it was evident that we were keeping both maps completely swiss cheese. Division of the main mapforce, and home map scouting was the key. We had a very strong force back on home map keeping the havoc groups of both servers at bay (no pun intended) as we traipsed our zerg with havocs of our own over their home maps...

tnliverpool Posted a Battle Recap: A Party at the Grotto
So we got a nice little group together to run the vet version of Fungal Grotto last night. Was pretty fun, but of course it provided plenty of its vet challenge. The first mini-boss we downed after a few attempts. Pretty much the name of the game on this guy was stay out of the poison circles of doom! Then we got to the first "main" boss, Gamyne Bandu. Now this is a proper vet dungeon boss! I have been through a few vet dungeons, but so far she is by far the most difficult. The mechanics on her are pretty taxing and really require you to be on your toes...

Aoibheann Posted a Battle Recap: Huzzah!
It was a great week all wrapped up in a big GREEN bow. Thank you for joining me on the battle field again today as we held strong to our PPT lead and fought hard against Kn & SF right till the very end. I know we have all put some very long hours into that well deserved score & I hope to see you all out there again this week for more of the same. I can't always pick up nights like I used to, but I will be out there when ever I can to help, be it to lead or to follow. I must tell you, that as good as it was to win, it was far better to see us all pull together to achieve it...

Aoibheann Posted a Battle Recap: Another amazing night in WvW
Thank you all for your hard work and dedication to fighting on the borderlands, we managed to turn the whole world green again this morning and it was a beautiful site. Sorry I had to tag down to deal with real life for a while, but I will be returning this afternoon to take and hold as many points as we can all the way to reset. Aoibheann Sidhe

Aoibheann Posted a Battle Recap: PPT!!!
Thank you all for staying up all night with me and celebrating the New Year on the Borderlands. Wow, it was good to see the 695 PPT again & again - I know that several of us took screen shots to post. The best part for me was Way Pointing their Garrison after successfully defending it against them all night long. Great job and I will see you all tonight as well as tomorrow. I am keeping my fingers (and toes) crossed that we can hold on to the lead this week, but win or lose, we had a good time together and some pretty great fights in WvW...

Smitty Posted a Battle Recap: Smitty's Sabres 12/30 - We're all in this together!
Despite the late start, the Sabres were anxious and chomping at the bit to cause some damage in WvW, and once more as their commander, I was not disappointed! I am seeing more and more commander tags on the map again. You have no idea how incredibly uplifting this is to see! Not only due to more people sharing the load of splitting up the zerg and taking more objectives at once, but also that more people are willing to try and get their feet wet. It makes the other commander's jobs incredibly more fun! That being said, the Sabres had their freedom to roam around and take what they want...
