- 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...
- Jumping the Puzzles
After the scheduled event of Warming Grawnk's Heart, a few brave (crazy) souls stayed with me as we continued on to - yes - more Jump Puzzles. This time it was a by request run and we actually JUMPED the puzzles...
- Ornaments and Emypeal Fragments
Thank you all for joining me again today for more Jump Puzzles galore. I think we have a good work around for the very buggy Buried Archives JP chest. While not a Jump Puzzle, the Hope Falls chest does drop the elusive Golden Ball Ornament...
- Smitty's WvW Reset 12/27 - Brought to you by NyQuil!
The colors... Dear god the colors...
I SWEAR I just saw a line of Christmas Dolyaks go by.
Oooh! Look! A Camp!!! Cmon, lets take it... Slice it up like Pizza and eat it in 15 supply chunks!
Tower, tower, pretty tower, let down your hair! Dont mind me peeking up your skirt!
Oooh, nasty reinforced Bay...
- WvW Assault
This was truly a perfect day for me to come back out for WvW. I would like to thank you all for joining me in the fights. I am not sure that Kaineng or Sorrow's Furnace had as good of a time as we did or appreciated our great big Sanctum of Rall HUGS that we gave them all over the maps today...
- A Hard Fought Battle
Well, two of us finished out first ever vet dungeon! We both got one of the new helms as well for our effort! Went pretty good and we only had a few rough spots and wipes. Well done all around I think.
- we found a chest
- Scavenger Hunt / Puzzled Jumpers
Thank you all for joining me today, if you still haven't started the Warming Grawnk's Heart, please send me a whisper and I will try to help you get through it - it takes 3 days to complete and You won't be able to get the ornaments until that part is finished...
- WvW on reset day
For those of you that stayed with me for the four hours that I was tagged up, please note: my event is split into two parts and they are under the same name. I have to do this at the three hour mark so I don't break the system - again...
- A Little Jaunt in the Desert
Epic adventure in the desert! Event was actually led and ran by @namesos, but he is not high enough level to post events. He did a fantastic job getting everyone together though! Well done Neo!
running with hella vanka. crazy fast and fun - Winters Day Event
Yay thanks guys for helping with Tixx that was super fun!
- Lucarative
with loot raked in more or less $8000 gold gross
- Smitty's Sabres 12/17 - Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained!
The Sabres tonight were not only heard, but felt EVERYWHERE in WvW. What a truly INCREDIBLE evening! I try to thank everyone who runs with me every event. But tonight I want to send out special thanks to everyone as we accomplished some wonderful things!
Too many keeps to count, and even a T3, fully upgraded Stonemist! Thanks for kicking me in the pants everyone and reminding me to be bold!
We encountered enemy forces a few times during the night, but nothing overwhelming as it seemed they melted right before our eyes...
- We don't need no stinkin' white swords!
We kicked off Wintersday not with white but GREEN, lots of green.
While Jordyee evicted wannabe invader from our borderlands with a swift kick in the pants, Aoibheann marched her golem army through Kaineng territory...
- Way to Go!!!
We started out on the offensive and gave Kaineng a spanking on the Borderlands this afternoon - can you say GOLEM RUSH? I think we had 9 Omegas charging around and I hope that someone got screen shots to post...
- Assault on WvW
Thank you all for the great support out in WvW for todays event. We stayed tight and focused as we slowly but surely took each map - sorry we didn't manage to get Kaineng's Garrison. Thank you for your patience as we bounced around to the different borderlands, I don't like too be predictable out there...
- The Lady from Hell
Cam has a new name
- just a comment, not a summary
the chicken dance song during the chicken guild rush was hilarious!
- Smitty's WvW Reset 12/12 - YOU get a Golem, and YOU get a Golem...
...and YOU get a Golem, and YOU get a Golem, And YOU get a Golem, and YOU get a Golem...
Thats right, reset night consisted of two maps worth of golems that were bounced back and forth between, resulting in 10 Keeps being taken before the night was out! Thank you so much to all the havoc groups who ran in conjunction with us! You guys and gals made things so much easier and well coordinated!
Oppositional forces were a bit light last night as we marched around from keep to keep cleaning house...
- AvA Run
Started out as a 3 man run and blossomed into 6 people over a period of 5 total hours. Participated in 6 castle defenses, 2 keep defenses, 3 resource defenses, 8 resource takes, 1 keep take, 1 keep take, and 9 open field battles.
- Reset Havok group
Great run and good fights tonight. Thanks for coming out to WvW and having a great time. Hope to see you all soon. Good Fights Tonight.
- Ferguson's Crossing loses ground
It was great fun in our wvw assault team today. It began with some setbacks, thief groups ganking our camps and much of SoR colored green. But once we began to take it directly to FC in their own land, our map was once again turning a lovely shade of blue...
- A jolly good time
We had a blast fighting with Ferguson's Crossing all night, too Bad Sorrow's Furnace stayed away this week! Excellent job one and all!
- Thursaday Night's WvW Pick up event ...Posted Late (Lost internet just after midnight)
Thank you all for your participation in the WvW pick up event last night. My apologies for this late posting my internet crashed just after midnight eastern time.
Please remember to claim your participation here as well as on SoR site...
- Great Job
Sorry I missed the best parts. I was with you in spirit if not online. Great job Hella and way to go GSCH!
- Awesome warm up party
And good lead in for Hella Vanka's event. Thanks for coming out and fighting the good fight.
- Great time tonight!
Thank you all for coming out and making it such a productive night. We stopped FC from owning everything and successfully pushed them off our border and then took over SF's map as well as parts of FC.
- Awesome Job, Once again.
As I showed up late, I expected not to get the chance to finish my monthly puzzle jumpers achievement. However, Aiobheann made sure that even the slowest guy in the group got every puzzle I needed. Thanks for a great time.
- Evertbody loves Saturday night
Excellent job taking resources
- Yes, it IS possible to beat Vet Fungal
Had a great team today. After a half a dozen previous attempts, we had some great strategy ideas in the group and we defeated the Fungal Grotto. It takes patience, some time, and team effort, but it is possible...
- Smitty's Sabres 12/2 - HOW long have they held that? Oh no no no...
It was a fun night as the Sabres unsheathed and took to the maps to cause some damage.
The night started off with a completely green BL, and a nice sense of tidiness. Every dish was in its place, so we chose to head out and cause other servers to smash a plate or two...
- Great Moments in AVA
we were sieging an alternate side of Chalman and when the EP band broke thru on their side they came over to the wall on our side and waved to us en masse. It was a great moment.
- HAPPY NEW YEAR
Just wanted to post this to all
Wishing my Gaiscioch Family and their Family a grand and prosperous Happy New Year. I also want to thank everyone for the wonderful and out right funny memories. And here's to many more memories to come...
- Twas the night before Winter's Day...
Your friendly neighborhood Smitty Claus here with a Christmas/Winter's day poem!
Twas the night before Winter's Day,
And all through the border,
Not a Dolyak was stirring,
Everything was in order...
- New things are fun!..... sometimes
Today, I romped with the guild to kill some dolmens. I still have over 100 before I get the Dolmen Crusher achievement (or whatever it's properly called).
I then printed off the list of General locations for dolmens, and was able to get one of the 6 I was missing -- The Ever Open Eye in Shadowfen...
- Aoibheann's Puzzled Jumpers
I have a new list of Jump Puzzles, some old & some new.
I am offering Taxi Service via Mesmer's Portals to the END of the following 20 Jumping Puzzles:
1.Goemm's Lab - Metrica Provence - Cuatl Waypoint
2...
- Warming Grawnk's Heart Scavenger Hunt
Warming Grawnk's Heart is a two part scavenger hunt during Wintersday 2014.
Part one starts with Orphan Laine's Letter that is sent to every player via mail. Read Orphan Laine's Letter. It will show you to your character's racial home instance...
- Ultimate Beef Tacos!
So, I'm trying to filter through the massive amount of information regarding the newest update with the Champion System. I don't know what to say about it, because the information is cumbersome and overwhelming...
- It just keeps getting better
So, my goal this week has been to finish as many of the public dungeons as I can, since I never got around to it. I've got 3 left, all in Vet level areas. I've been able to clear most of them on my own, and a few with help from fellow guildies...
- Aoibheann's Assault
I have all new times and dates for WvW. No, it isn't a typo, I am actually running on the borderland during the afternoon. Look for me Tue & Fri from 1-4 pm PST and Sun from 12-2 pm.
- Quite the Productive Day....
So, today, I finally reached VR14. I didn't look back to see when I hit VR13, but I know it's been a stretch. I wasn't really trying hard or grinding to get to VR14, I was trying to enjoy the game as a whole, try new things, etc...
- My account may disappear for a few days....
So, we're going to be switching banks, and my subscription ends today. Didn't know that. Closed my old account already, and haven't got anything with the new account verified to be able to pay the fee...
- Scheduling
Sorry for being MIA this week, I have been having a rough time with my meds. I should be running my wvw events again next week and I swapped my regular Wednesday for Tuesday morning to fill the gap we had on that day.
