Pookha from the wars returning,
Spoiler of the other games,
Here is ease that asks not earning;
Turn you in and sit you down...
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...
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...
Saturday Afternoon Adventures Next WEEK WILL be the first Class Week! The winning class is Elementals! So so your elemental toon the love it deserves! Bring your elle (of any rank) to next weeks 1/17/2015 Saturday Afternoon Adventures with Terafer...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
DC Public Dungeons Three of us did the final three DC public dungeons. We cleared the bosses of all three, and compled the group challenges and quests as well. Thanks for coming out guys!
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...
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.
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!
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...
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!
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.
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.
