Tales of Conquest and Glory

[FoxBat]

Or, more like random screenshots I have sitting around.

First, two amusing warriors in Alliance Battles, who speak for themselves:






Next up, two amazing victories.



You stop getting faction after 16 consectuive victories, but I wanted to see how high the Zaishen Elite went. Enemies seemed to stop multiplying after 10 of them showed up though.






Stupidly close game with a stupid IWAY build. We scored that point from a single kill at the very last second, and as the last point-scorer, the game gave us the tie.



Finally, two sightings of famous people.



What's possibly more amazing than me playing Hero Battles, is proof that Isiah (Anet employee and primary skill update guy) is there playing them too.






Our motley crew from Amazon Basin and ourselves playing IWAY against some of the game's best players. The highlighted Tommy has been in and out monking for various top 10 GvG guilds such as Team Quitter and now Dark Alley, and on his team were people from The Black Parades and a few other solid players. Despite such skill and having a decent balanced build setup, they lost to some of us that had never PvP'd with a warrior before. No further proof needed as to how cheesy this build was. But the victory was still sweet!


What's missing from this thread: pics of GvG victories over ZoS.

I love these screenshots!

There's ZoS in alliance chat... and Jude was in it at the time. How old are these pics? I know the first one isn't because I'm in it

And by the way, I remind you that you hate Imageshack...

[FoxBat]

Some of them are quite old, yes. I went through my pile of sshots much earlier and decided to hold onto just a few.

New "amazing" victory for today:

[Lurker Wyrm]

First, two amusing warriors in Alliance Battles, who speak for themselves:

Admit it though, I look awesome.

I found some sitting around that might go with what you've already posted.

Thog's first smashing victory:


One of our first HA wins:

(not sure how close to our first win it was, the file was dated 10/9/06)

Really close AB match:


Jude and Demon wanted to join us in our GH siege, but I had other ideas:

[FoxBat]

Heh I remember that lock-out episode; good times.

A really awesomely named guild AB faced recently:

[FoxBat]

Alright, here's an actual noteworthy victory.




Yes, those dead bodies on the ground would be three monks and a warrior, all with assassin secondaries. Those of us who have faced that build know how annoying the ninja-spike monks are. We were running two of the pictured assassins along with a smiter running the perfect foil, Balthazar's Pendulum. Wyrm just maintained it on everyone and they couldn't get a single KD off to do their stonesoul/holystrike combo, despite the warrior having both Shove and Grapple. We managed one kill to their zero on the entire match, which was enough, and they lost at the end of 8 minutes. Our AB friend Manacraft didn't understand the glee some of us had at finally crushing this annoying build.

On another run, after 4 victories, Wyrm joked that we would face a monkspike team that "actually knew what they were doing" on game 5, and they would rob us of our gladiator point. Well, guess what we faced on game 5. First we sat around dancing off for a while, but eventually they ran in, tried a spike but couldn't get the knockdown off, and promptly resigned.


Also, for a brief time after the big update, it became possible to Simple Thievery monster skills. Look who's sneaking into the base now!

[mucco]

Well, I figured I could add a couple pictures as well.



In RA, faced a guy who /ranked us with his Phoenix while dying. Some glitch made him appear like he was floating above the ground, so the flying Phoenix was a nice show. I believe that guy also flamed us but oh well... I got three well-deserved gladiator points in that team.

Also, a funny conversation that took place in HA districts. Look at Arista's lines:



It gives a good estimation of our former leader guild's actual situation... Who will gain control of the respective outpost first, between AB and ZoS?

[FoxBat]

Sadly enough, I think this is some kind of record for our guild. (though I've been to 27 victories from a late-night RA team before) Wyrm managed to convince Roland to come on, only to get our faces pounded in again and again. After a large number of losses trying to run Balanced except with 2 warriors instead of a ranger (I blame Wyrm), we switched to something like smiteway with warriors and went to town. We were gifted with a fair number of RA teams, but we also beat some TA teams including a spike or two, as well as balancedway. Our loss in the 12th round was ironically to an RA team with a ton of spirits that we ran right into. (blame Wyrm some more. )

[mucco]

OK, this one has to be shown.



RB back in HA! And with some incredible success! (Well...) We did not manage to fight in the golden maps, but we did get wins, and more than a couple of them! The fame total gained by this team was 14 in the end. Considering I had gathered a measly 25 in my whole career up to today... it was an achievement.

I hope we'll do more of this soon! Guild PvP is always lots of fun

You left out something...
