10/19 JQ vs. SBI vs. IoJ
Weekends are a given in NA- almost eveyone has an equal shake; it’s the M-F that matters though. Who has the most off-hours 8am- 5pm that makes or breaks the match.
It’s one reason I’ve advocated a different approach- matching players and IP world-wide vs realms and zone as it is done now. If you can field an organized bunch 3am- 1pm M-F you will dominate any NA server where the bulk of us have work, school, kids to mind instead. This is basic logic… there is no mystery or exploit involved.
Me- I’m big on crafting… so I will wait to see where the wind is blowing… most likely JQ again… and hop on to maximize my crafting potential with the world bonus… why wouldn’t I with the rules as they are???? Luck the poor suckers in NA not well endowed with Oceanic players.
Had some pretty sick skirmishes with some SBI while trying to fight for control of the south island in red borderlands. Props to the few from TB guild on SBI, would love to fight again.
That thief shooting rainbows at you? That’s me.
So it all started off great everyone pushing everyone, second SBI took SM for the 3 hours after that its been 2v1 I rated IoJ higher than this guess that was a mistake. This only counts for those in EB, not going after those in borders

Last week for us was boring also on IoJ. This match is a blast so far and look forward to an awesome week of wuv.

Server X takes SM and complains about a double team.
Are you kidding me man? What’d you expect IoJ to do, get down and let you thrust? Not going to happen. This is a fight, and in EBG we will do what we can do prove our dominance. Great night so far, I applaud all servers and Commanders associated.

proving your dominance when we have half the numbers defending your full force?

Besides the small forces you guys had taking rogues quarry there have been little to no Skirmish swords up north or south west into JQ territory.
I have always been one to deny the 2v1 attitude servers put out always said it never happened but when its ongoing for hours that they clearly avoid each other it begins to change my mind on it
good to see you deleted your post Arctix

Its just paranoia trust me. SBI was pushing us a lot harder than IOJ. So the majority of our forces end up being in that area. We took the tower by the quarry and fought IOJ a lot. SBI just ended up getting the full force of our armies because SBI was pushing us hard, no one to blame but yourselves.
Its not paranoia, its just the way it is. I used to think like this too but then I realized there are only two possibilities in a three faction matchup. You can have 1v1v1 or 2v1. So there is a 50% chance of 2v1.
Personally I think 4 factions is more balanced, you have 1v1v1v1, 2v2 or 1v3.
IoJ – 10,056*
SBI – 9,359*
JQ – 9,265*
Such an even match, everyone has an orb.

Are you serious? I finally get in after a 3 hour wait and the kitten crashes on the loading screen?
Fun match so far!
T1 is a whole new experience…I’ve never had such a hard time ganking dolyaks haha
The kitten bug where they warp 20 feet away doesn’t help though.

I am in IoJ. For the last week I have spoken to guilds, helped out people here and there in preparation for our entry into T1.
So far its been great matches one after another. Amazing turnovers on Keeps and great standoffs. I love what I am seeing so far.
cheers
Current Score is
11,700 (IoJ)
11,000 (SBI)
10,700 (JQ)
Its extremely intense. Thanks
Please provide evidence before calling out exploiters.
And how is your laziness to check for mesmers exploiting?

I never deleted any post. You can thank the forum Mods for that one. Not even a message as to why they deleted it.
Our “full force” is not there, find something else to complain about. We’re doing everything we can to defend ourselves, and doing a kitten good job at that. Nobody is double teaming you.

Pretty even start so far which is a refreshing change after last week. I managed to get in for a few hours, and it was a blast. I hope it stays relatively close; i hate when matches are already decided in like 1-2 days.
Be mindful of psychology,
Its common-place to attack the underdog in a Tier-1 match. In fact its expected to be the ones attacked everywhere since the assumption is that our entry into T-1 means we are the most vulnerable.
However, I would say we are holding out quite well for our Day-1 Adjustment period.
I hope it continues as good as it has been for the whole week. If anything, win or lose…as a server IoJ is learning a lot from this Tier-1 match which is something that we truly need…
…so yes, to SBI and JQ, please throw us your hardest and best! We expect no less from a Tier-1 matchup. To have any less would be to rob each other of a great experience.
Well done to guild LoD for ninja capping the orb with 1 mesmer in Shadaran Hills
Someone on SBI wanna explain how you guys reset our orb on JQ borderlands? I’ve basically been on the entire time since reset hit(beside about 1hr) and don’t believe our hills keep was penetrated at all.

How did that unguilded JQ mesmer get into Bay on SBI map? Did he chill there for fricken 10 hours?
also L80 Ele/Necro/Mesmer

I now know why JQ is #1 lol. Exploit after exploit. Such a trash server. Seems as they are a bit upset about being in last.

Are you kidding me? You realize we owned the garrison in the stormbluff border 2 hours before that ninja happened?
