Defiant Fist vs. Or Die Trying - Guild Wars Forums

Somhairle Isis · Aug 12, 2005, 07:06 AM // 07:06

I'd just like to say to the ODT crew that that was one of the most amazing guild battles. It was truly back and forth the entire time with no one guild holding tower for more than a minute at a time. It was a 50 minute epic that we will be talking about for a long, long time.

Good showing to both guilds! Great match! Let's do it again sometime.

Or Die trying is a terrible guild they abuse spirit spam and my guild was killing there monks through symbiosis and fertile.

thats nice....it was still a good battle none the less

βlitzkrieg · Aug 12, 2005, 10:49 AM // 10:49

We beat ODT in the Alienpod Tournament...

They used a spirit build then too...

A team doesn't have to be number one in the world for a battle to be hard fought. I've seen the worst teams in college basketball give it their all and give the top teams a hard fought battle.

I made this topic to give them a thanks for the fun battle. Not a place for people like you (Knight) to polish up on being a butt.

I had fun last night. End of story.

I guess im just a angry noob w/n that dislikes spirit spam and can't counter it forgive me

We recently fought Defiant Fist. They're a great guild, and play very fair rather than using FotM builds or zerging our Guild Lords. They're also one of the few guilds I have recently fought that isn't full of assholes that mock their enemies the entire round. (we lost. perhaps we can rematch when we have a full team and build

)

THANKS GUYS!

it's too bad our stupid npc archers got STUCK on the stupid lever when it was time for Victory or Death...

i'm sure you noticed how funny that was....and how sad it was for us...

GG's, though. it was a great battle indeed, until the very end.

i think it's because your guild sucks?

j/k!

sorry if we upset you or something, we aren't assholes like most of the top-ranked guilds. we know when we're beat, and know when we're not.

we congratulate our victors, and "try again".

try Smiting, or even AoE spells...LOTS of ways to kill spirits...

most of our officers weren't on for that battle...me included.

some of them went to do other things during the weekend...bah!

i'm sure you deserved the win, nonetheless.

Reikai · Aug 15, 2005, 02:22 AM // 02:22

oh noes oh noes! i was the flagrunner for ODT

>_> bleh... i really need to get better at that =.=

Somhairle Isis · Aug 15, 2005, 05:11 AM // 05:11

Reikai...I have to admit that you were one of the most annoying flag runners i've ever come across. At one point I decided to FOLLOW you back when your flag would respawn and meet you at your gate. It didn't matter if I called you out as target before you exited you area or not...we'd do everything in our power to block you but you kept finding a way to cap.

Weezer Blue...Thanks a lot. We strive not only to be a great guild but a great group of guys and gals.

Crest...Yeah, we saw that. They were totally lined up and almost impossible to get by. We had to lure and spread them out in order to finish them off. We had a good chuckle at that.

ODT: We should rematch. We had a blast. Get ahold of me!

Wow, I haven't been back to GWG for a bit, but the news filtered back through our forums.. thanks so much for the props, and we're definitely looking forward to playing against you again.

This was a close match, but I think Winter and I assume Mantra of Frost on the Fist side led them to victory. When we were able to get/keep Winter down, we accumulated kills and they accumulated debt. When they were able to keep it up we didn't have enough offense to punch through it and our energy drain was countered by Mantra of Frost. Eventually we got into an extended standoff at the flagstand and couldn't keep winter down; the Fist skillfully picked away at whatever weak points they could find and managed to get the first couple kills, which allowed them to focus fire on the DPed players to accumulate more DP, and eventually we were fighting down a Warrior against a defense we were already having problems with.

By the time we realized we were starting to have trouble, we had to start planning for Victory or Death. Unfortunately, when V or D finally happened all of our NPCs got stuck on the gate lever inside our hall while the Fist NPCs charged the flagstand and overwhelmed us. This put two of us at 60 DP and essentially ended the game.

Everyone over here at ODT agrees, this was one heck of a match. I've been in a few 45+ minute fights and this was the only one that didn't seem to take forever. We look forward to playing against you again in the future.

About spirits as it relates to this thread:

We tend to run a build that uses Fertile and Symbiosis when we're training new members, because the defensive bonuses make the match last longer and therefore give our new members the opportunity to gain more battle experience. When we run an offensive build with new players in the group, we tend to either win or lose too quickly to get anything out of the battle but a change in guild rank. A really skilled team rips apart our Fertile build; good disruption or denial players stop this build dead all the time. If we're running our Fertile build, we're not spamming spirits; we're using two spirits to slow the pace of the match and ruin spike teams. I'm not talking about Aeromancers specifically; anything that is based on "I do 500 dmg in 1s ftw gg" is a spike team and suffers under Fertile because people live through spike and monks react. We were unfortunate to have 5 of our 8 planned team members fail to show up for the Alienpod tournament and therefore ran a build we viewed as safe; and if I recall correctly, it was still a pretty good fight.

*sigh* I still can't write anything shorter than a term paper.

Just saw this thread sitting around... LoL, sounds like you guys had some good fun.

For the years I played my FPS games, theres one golden rule I accepted and still keep to durning any type of serious game play, or even hell, for fun sometimes: Typing = Death.

People who decide to stop half way and type some mocking sentence out at others typically are setting themselves up for a good beating. Last time I checked, you can't play the game if your too busy talking. =)
