Its better to be cordial than QQing or raging. Its better for Game healt and that players focus more in the WvW , PVE , PVP or whatever than PVFing.

HB, go to bread :P

Cuddles too.

Getting fights is so rare for us, that when we actually get them, we just cant get enough

Thanks to the JQ in EB last night in EU and EST for some intense fights. It took us hours to grind down your T3 SM, but it was all worth it in the end.

Sooo any karma trains on any bl yet?

Was thinking the same thing. I’m guessing all worlds still have players needing the achievements. We just need one BL to flip and a Mercenaries/SM train in EB. As long as we leave the other maps for more organic play for our open field fighters to enjoy.

Clearly karma training isn’t the way the wvw is supposed to be played, so if living story APs are going to turn wvw into a karma train at any point, shouldn’t the farming part be removed? Increase the player kill requirement, decrease the sentry captures, mercenary camp captures, etc.

Dewolfe and madscar, I wasn’t referring the 2 of you :P, just using it as an example.

Anet said they will never reveal the population cap for each border, so hence why we will never see a que number.

But I feel your pain.

Now maybe my math is horrible, but how does showing how many people ahead of you in the queue, or the average wait time of the queue, allow you to be able to formulate how many people are in the given map?

Good point.

Let us Consider 1st scenario.

  • The number of people infront of you in the que

If population cap = X

By doing so may indicate the population cap if “X” can be somewhat guessed.

If X is a non variable it will be easier to deduce the population cap by tabulating the data on reset nights when you are guaranteed a every BL is almost full

If X is a variable constant it will be harder to deduce the Cap.

Scenario 2 is que time

  • Now how will Anet know , even if we discover what “X” is, the average wait time since there are to many human side variables to consider. Also it may lead to more QQing about que times.

Scenario 1 is the best possible solution and Anet can keep “X” a secret by giving you a warning that you due for entry into said BL by just simply making a auto-mated message when there are around “Y” number of people infront of you. “Y” can be kept a secret hence preventing deductive tabulation on “X”.

However, I agree that there is no reason to hide what “X” is, so that atleast this way players know, guilds know and friends can guesstimate the time.

Comparing to DAoC where we had 800 players in 1 “borderland” 8 years ago was a tech marvel for RvRvR (WvWvW)

Standing on the battered west wall of JQ borderland garrison, watching the massing horde of Blackgate’s beasts down below, a tired Jade Empire commander gave a deep sign, “It is this time again”.

The ferocious battle for the mythical golden dolyak between the Jade Empire and the Blackgate has wagered on for eons, but things have began to turn worse for the old empire. Its once proud keeps and towers now lying in ruins, its mighty armies shattered across border lands, and its seemly endless treasury has now depleted, all seems to be lost.

All seems to be lost except one, one unbreachable Garrison stands tall among those ruins. The defending warriors of this keep are grim but determined, and they are proud. They have withstood the endless assaults of the mighty Blackgate beasts since the beginning of the war, they have repelled the unstoppable and feared Legion of ZDs, they were able to hold garrison with all broken walls against Blackgate’s three finest force, GoF, Coin, and RK, and they just annihilated one of the mightest Golem armies in the history of war. All is lost but this one keep, and the defenders of the Jade Empire have decided to not let it fall. This keep is their last hope, their last beacon of resistance, and their last demonstration of Empire’s unyieldable will.

The Jade Empire commander stands firm on the wall, grim but determined. He knows it will not be an easy battle, the beasts of Blackgate hold the power of belief and their will cannot be broken. “Will I be able to beat all odds and live to tell the story of the JQ borderland Garrison?”, he wonders; and I, the historian, also wonder…

Well BG wins because of 2v1. I have never seen BG fight alone, JQ is always 2v1’d. Terrible win by BG. Boring match watching a BG and SoS zergs just sit there all friendly not fighting each other.

Oh my gosh.

When we logged in Monday, we noticed there was a 2k PPT difference between BG and JQ and we (my guild) decided, “Hey, we can actually make an impact in this match if we push on BG and try to even it out”. Well, we felt some sort of moral obligation to our homeland and decided to get back the North half from BG. So we start pushing on garrison and immediately draw BG and JQ. We try to disengage JQ to say, “hey we are willing to work with you guys”. But instead, JQ chose to cap our NW tower while we were fighting BG.

We wiped, took our NW tower back, wiping JQ. Pushed on Garrison again, JQ came up behind us again and engaged while we were fighting BG, wiped us and took our NW tower again. On our next push, JQ wiped and there was a big battle with BG in the area between NW tower and Garrison, that’s when JQ snuck in Watergate and capped our garrison.

So we came in on Monday ready to work with JQ to push on BG, we really wanted to make Week 7 interesting for BG, JQ and SoR. However, JQ didn’t want to play ball so we did it FFA style, so don’t whine now that it seems like you are getting 2v1’d, you decided you wanted to push on SoS instead of just trying to take PPT from BG, deal with it.

PS. That fight last night at NW camp on JQ BL was awesome, I wish you could have heard our TS when we all shifted counter-clockwise in location.

@Mal for ONS vs SF GvG, my apologies for not getting back to you guys on this yesterday. I already approved Guild missions for everyone tonight and I have been without interwebs at home for almost 24 hours! When I got home last night I found out a new ATT employee was doing an install for one of my new neighbors. It wouldn’t have been as bad if it was a chick neighbor and was good looking. Unfortunately for me it was a dude my age that looks at people…awkwardly… Making a long story longer, this kid somehow messed up the install and magically disconnected my whole buildings internets. How the hell do you screw that up? Well, I call ATT last night to complain in a professional manner in hopes that I will get service quicker. Unfortunately for me, that employee thought it was a great idea to make me feel like I’m in the wrong for coming home to no service and calling their office to complain and ask for services to be rendered for connectivity. I told her I will C U Next Tuesday and spoke to her manager, which promised me I will be back up and running today. Fortunately for me I work in IT for a major hospital in the area and can pull strings through the corporate side of ATT. Jed +1 for 2 free months of internet

I just wanted to share my rant, that is all…

Nicely done. I now know who spies on our commanders. That quote I know from our teamspeak! (j/k)

To make it worse I can’t be there tonight to stand side by side with my sisters and brothers of the old great empire and fight off those intruders for another 6-7 hours as we did the last days.

BG broke the door down, charged in, got wiped, SoS then charged in and got wiped, BG then took their turn… Then SoS.

As the evening progressed all we got was SoS blocking our attempts at going after BG, SoS did nothing but Circle the castle, didn’t try to take it from BG, just kept us from trying to take it.

Don’t come here and complain about how JQ is treating you now that you finally decide you want to fight BG.

Actually we did take it from BG, and your take on events is merely the result of JQ failing to take advantage of the many openings we attempted to provide early on in the evening Friday.
Blame the complete lack of any offensive posture by your side for the turn of events; as we got wiped by the entire BG zerg at Vale because attempts at Bay never lasted long enough for us to get our 2 small guild groups over there (we had only two guild groups on the map Friday at reset.)

You do realize that waiting on an attacking force to do all the work and then coming in behind them after they have been weakened makes a ton of sense don’t you? What you are trying to describe as collusion is merely sound strategic thinking. Your paranoia and hysteria are getting the better of you i think.

You just described playing for 2nd, which is what he was trying to say in an analytical way.
The only chance JQ had in winning was to take a very aggressive posture over the weekend to keep their PPT high in regards to BG. By keeping SoS territory swapping hands you forced a situation where we were stuck in a defensive posture and you were left to face BG’s superior coverage in a 1 on 1 situation.

This doesn’t mean that you would have won by any stretch, but SoS, being the underdog, will follow the path of least resistance and would have attacked BG if they saw JQ pressuring BG in other places.

For instance, the JQ group on SoS BL last night. You split off of the attack on the BG held garri to stack up behind my SoS group that was going to attack Hills. Not wanting to be sandwiched we broke off and headed South; and you didn’t get garri or Hills.

If BG maintains it’s coverage advantages going into the post-season, it will be in all of WvW’s best interest if JQ and SoR adapt their tactics and strategies accordingly (in complete absentia this week).

Was a blast running 57 golems into Garri last night on JQBL… Their billions of arrow carts wiped us out as we made a few mistakes but it was some of the most fun I have had in the game yet.

That was so insane. Someone noted in map chat there were “about 30 golems” and they were instantly derided for exaggeration until we arrived and our commander was like, “Um, that’s more like 50. Man the ACs! And I hope someone is screenshotting this.” And about ten people replied that they already had.

So we came in on Monday ready to work with JQ to push on BG, we really wanted to make Week 7 interesting for BG, JQ and SoR. However, JQ didn’t want to play ball so we did it FFA style, so don’t whine now that it seems like you are getting 2v1’d, you decided you wanted to push on SoS instead of just trying to take PPT from BG, deal with it.

PS. That fight last night at NW camp on JQ BL was awesome, I wish you could have heard our TS when we all shifted counter-clockwise in location.

Really? You wish to know why? Try this, I got into EB on Friday start of the season.. Ran to our Commander moved out had to wheel around to fight BOTH BG and SOS off of our Spawn keep… Oddly enough, neither was fighting the other. BG broke the door down, charged in, got wiped, SoS then charged in and got wiped, BG then took their turn… Then SoS.

As the evening progressed all we got was SoS blocking our attempts at going after BG, SoS did nothing but Circle the castle, didn’t try to take it from BG, just kept us from trying to take it.

Don’t come here and complain about how JQ is treating you now that you finally decide you want to fight BG.

I am not complaining, simply addressing the accusations that we’ve been 2v1 against you the entire time. I understand the frustrations with spawn camping and stuff, but I don’t think it’s fair to look at the WvW picture from a Friday/Saturday perspective, just based on the sheer volume of non-regulars in WvW.

It’s fine though, I understand your frustrations, SoS went into this map knowing we would not win, but we had fun.

We have good commanders, we need more incentive for people to kitten listen! “I’m not following you, me and 20 other people are gonna run around and get wxp while you fight (and win) outnumbered, but were gonna complain forever if you lose.” <this is the reason our guilds are running untagged and no one wants to tag up.

The way I see it, commanding a guild group is easy. They’re built right, comp tends to be at least OK, they’re on TS, they listen, they move together, they use the right skills at the right times.

Commanding a pug/militia group is far more difficult. You have to understand their motivations and feed them sufficient karma/WxP to keep them following and cohesive, be far more conservative in your tactics, often you move significantly slower, and sometimes you have to adapt the players on TS around what the mindless are doing (eg. large numbers chasing a single kill). I’d argue that having commanders with sufficient patience to do this and sufficient personal resilience to cope with the frustration is a major part of a T1 server’s success.

Fannwong used to be a master at this in WAR.

The Police were victorious today, but beware, the Mafia is becoming more organized. Be cautious when you attack the family.

Btw, nice job making the Police. It’s creating some good fights!

Was a blast running 57 golems into Garri last night on JQBL… Their billions of arrow carts wiped us out as we made a few mistakes but it was some of the most fun I have had in the game yet.

That was so insane. Someone noted in map chat there were “about 30 golems” and they were instantly derided for exaggeration until we arrived and our commander was like, “Um, that’s more like 50. Man the ACs! And I hope someone is screenshotting this.” And about ten people replied that they already had.

Yea we totally underestimated how many arrow carts would be present. Lessons learned and massive fun for everyone. The first gate melted before our tail could catch up =) by the time all golems were present we took down four walls and three gate in what I think was less than two minutes.

You guys did an awesome job defending btw. Excellent work JQ.

Reporting live for Day 6..The fight has been as best as we can manage. BG doesn’t seem to have their bravest people playing anymore. I just see a lot of open field ACs and running away.

EB: To put it mildly, I would characterize BG here as “AC” heavy

JQ BL: I want to point out that ND from BG is one guild that fought bravely here. They broke into garrison, didn’t hide in a tower, and engaged us first before reinforcements.

Good times. RK hiding from 20 JQ at north camp and waiting for their zerg to help them out to get three times the number.
So funny. Stop hiding, BG!

The video is absolutely fantastically done, love the gatesoffire (the jump at the end made me laugh – academy award to that charr) .

And here I thought BG were a serious bunch without a sense of fun. Now get your butts back in game, we aren’t done with you yet. ><

Jeydra wasn’t even on BG before the league. He clearly has no clue what is the main factor of players influx in wvw after the league started.
I don’t care if he helped to build sieges or whatever, most of us know how to do that. I want to see him get out of BG to some server which is not stacked and I will pay fully for him. A small dose of toxin might not rot the community but the side effect is unpleasant and disgusting.

Great. You know my ID (Jeydra.4386). I have 319 gems at the moment. Send me the balance and I’ll immediately transfer off.

Well? Are you sending me the balance or not?

This thread has been disappointingly cordial.

Anyway,, this week’s match up was fun and did not disappoint! Hoping to get a bit more later.

Let me explain:

The cordial and polite nature of this thread is the result of 2 very wealthy servers respecting each other’s tradition of wvw excellence. On top of that, having SoS be such a good sport and being drama/troll free – everyone just ends up having a good time…….

Like a Sunday afternoon or early evening soirée served with hors d’oeuvres and a selection of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel varieties.
