Guild Wars 2

Score update before I go to bed. 11:34 PST

@Absinthe – dangit. i knew that would overshadow the message of my little write up.

now, with all the “bragging” going on. anyone care to share some so-embarassing-i-want-to-glitch-into-and-get-stuck-in-a-wall-and-cry-so-no-one-will-see-my-tears moments?

here’s one. spotted a warrior from JQ (or BG maybe. i donno. i am doing my best to wipe this memory ; ))) ). we had 3 or 4 on my end. we chased. he ran towards a cliff edge as if too escape. i tried to knock him off. failed. “stability! now woudl be a good time to…” before i could finish that thought, 3 of us were feared off the cliff. two went splat, yours truly included, and one survived with falling trait. the two of us that went to zero were just -.- “that was good” said one. and you could see the warrior up top checking us out thinking, much to learn, young padawans. much, much to learn. :pp

sigh. can’t believe we fell for that(HA, get it? get it??). how many warrs run fear me?!? need to learn other classes more. XDDD

[edit: some typos and fixed some stuff]

Nothing against people showing off all their characters and everything, but pic score updates would be a lot more interesting if the background was the BL Map.

Fine… if you don’t want a super sexy sylvari I guess I can give you a not so sexy map….

Sorry Akamon I couldn’t resist. hehe

edit – @Geko……that looks like one extremely boring map.

I’ll one up you with a twist.

I was out roaming/scouting the other night and BG were crawling all the east road of my BL. I’d crossed that bridge that sits over top the sentry south of the east camp after avoiding an overwhelming number of enemy. After a while two BG came over to suss me out, and we all agreed to tango. Anyway, everything was “going” when all of a sudden I got hit with fear (I think it might have been runes), and I was running toward the cliff. I thought the fear would end before the drop but suddenly the edge under my feet. I’d been holding my blink ready just in case.

I did actually go over, and the other two must have seen it. However I fired my blink out of reflex and shot back to safety in the nick of time. I turned to continue the fight only to watch as the two BG, backs to me, ran over to the edge, looked over, then jumped down “after me”.

“ kitten ” I thought, “they got away” :/

SoR= King of NA prime time, and they seem to do extremely well now against the JQ’s night-capping and pvdoor troops during Saturday and Sunday. I’d argue that these two days really show the true strength of a server, as coverage advantage and night capping are removed to some degrees. I really hope more asian/oceanic guilds will consider transferring to SoR, the wvw crews on this server are some of the best in T1, in terms of skills and tactics.

JQ= paper tiger, they are only good at pvdoor and night capping, if they can’t do it, they either lose very badly or they cannot gain a significant lead in terms of ppt. i think the last 24 hours kind of show this. And I seriously think PvDoor has given JQ a lot of bad habits when taking enemies objectives. This morning on EB, during JQ’s asian/oceanic prime time, JQ forgot to get rid of those defensive sieges (such as the oil pot) before porting golems to the inner gate of SMC, and SoR wiped those golems with ease. After at least 2 failed attempts of golems rush, folks from JQ just keep running around and building golems inside SMC and kept getting wiped by SoR or BG.

Another suggestion for JQ, get a better guild (maybe FOO? lol) to look after your EB, because [Ge] is a useless guild unless they can PvDoor. All they do is run around in EB and achieve nothing.

Few things to keep the discussion going, here are some of the rumors i heard when i was guesting on JQ

1)Some folks from JQ actually said that JQ does not have weekend NA prime time coverage, that’s why SoR beats them. Is this the truth? or is this the biggest joke of all time?

JQ just admit it, your current NA crews are a bunch of inexperienced bads, there’s nothing to be ashamed of, recruit better guilds and that’s all.

2) PRX is leaving the game? well, nothing of value is lost i guess if that’s true. PRX is the most over-hyped guild in GW2, with a lot of fan-boys defending them when they are clearly failing.

challenged when they run 90 people around capping objectives with 20-30 people max defending.

20-30 ?

http://youtu.be/zTl4EdWWixQ

how many em in this video?

and FOO have 30-40 ppl not 90+

Waha

30-40 people is still more than the 15 that FEAR and TW run around with

Pushing hard over two days in a 7 day competition does not show the true strength unless the other servers choose to compete equally over this artificial timeline.

We all know by now that the winner is fundamentally determined by numbers and coverage so whatever the position now the ‘result’ this week will be JQ>BG>SOR.

The ‘night capping’ issue needs to die, whilst I see and largely agree the point, Anet have repeatedly stated that WvW is 24/7. This by definition favours those that recruited accordingly and atm the numerical/coverage advantage remains with JQ.

I can’t say this enough: Its not night capping to players who live in a different part of the world. They deserve a chance to play this game we all enjoy as well. Its not their fault we are asleep.

This is Tier 1. All three servers have guilds on 24/7.

@ Shiniorigami

^ truth….they can occasionally get 30 people each but some episodic bullkitten comes on TV and everyone leaves.

WTF is it vampires, werewolves, zombies, aliens, mormons?……seriously……I do not get it. “As the World Turns” on a weekly basis I suppose. No wonder Obamacare is so popular these days.

If it ain’t the debils foolsball on sat & sun then I want nothing to do with it.

mmmm, frudoo (kript’s) demeanor changes on the forums. hah. JADE QUAGGAN FOREVER!

It is currently oceanic timezone and not even close to the asian timezone yet. We start in around 2 hours.

Provide to me an argument why I’m wrong, or you can stop trolling and agree with me. This tactic of 80 people in a force literally BREAKS the game and it is in the control of your leadership to do something about it.

I am sure you are a very smart individual but that’s the stupidest thing I have heard in a while. How about blaming the people that make the game. Put in a ticket. How people play this game should not break the game. That’s just dumb.

But how they play the game actually does break the game. I’m asking them to not do it. ANet has some changes they need to make, but the community has the power to not make this the “meta”. Currently, 80 people in a single force is game breaking whether or not it is ANet’s problem. So, “dumb” as it is that people playing how they want breaks the game, it is the sad state of affairs.

There are also numerous strategic reasons why your whole map in a single zerg should never work, but since, very often, the 3rd server not being attacked is content being a willful bystander or engages in the “2v1”, the server engaging in the whole-map zerg doesn’t get punished for it. This is 3-faction PvP; putting all of your forces into one location, by design, is never meant to work.

Hey nice work to SOR, only 400points of the lead atm!

Now that NA is waking up, here’s an update for those at work:

It’s the week day. All the SoR weekend warriors are now at work.

Only in body, not in spirit.

Or calling in sick.

SoR night crew held as long as possible, but that 40+ Merc zerg was ridiculous. Culling+Skill lag was awesome.

Would like to see one week where SoR’s NA got to play the weekdays…. JQ would get wrecked by atleast a 40k lead.

Its open PVP. By design, whatever works, works. What we need is for AN to add some real penalties for dying. That would cut 80 mans zergs down quick. No combat rezzing, no corpse loitering, maybe a delay on how quickly you can respawn.

Well, no one doubts this. I mean, look at the lead SoR has going into the weekdays. It’s obvious. Wait… I’m getting something… oh… never mind.

I disagree. PRX was one of the most prominent force on HoD and SoS. As the game went stale a lot of them got bored, therefore a weaker guild.

Can you define what you mean by skills and tactics? I think I have mentioned multiple times before and even SOR players and commanders have made posts on the forum agreeing with me, SOR does not or seldom use tactics and strategies in wvw. Many times SOR would choose to attack a fortified keep over a keep with no defenders because it is closest to them. Many times they would sit in a tower to defend while losing everything else on the map. Ignoring a gate in a keep with no arrow carts and choosing a gate with tons of arrow carts and brute forcing the gate down with pure zerg numbers instead of using siege is a sign that the server does not use tactics and strategy to take over a holding on the map.

BG has been asking SOR to reduce their 60+ zerg balls and is being met with a lot of resistance from SOR. I do no understand how SOR can say they are winning with skills in battles when you literally CANNOT use your skills in the battles. Seriously, these large zerg ball fights go like this:

You spam attack since you do not see who is attacking you and who you are attacking. There is a 30 second skill lag that makes it impossible to know if your skill attack is actually working, so all you do is close your eyes, rotate your skill attacks, and cross your fingers and hope that they are working.

So, I ask again, based on the description of the battle above in large zerg ball fights that SOR insists on, how can anyone measure skills in the battles? Who spam attacks the fastest is best skilled? The largest zerg ball is the most skilled?

Confirmed. At weekly meetings we discuss face smash strategies. This week the forehead strategy. Last week it was the back of our heads. We found to many people fell asleep at their keyboards using this method.
If the forehead doesn’t get us 1st place this week then we will try the bring keyboard to face strat on reset.
This T1 stuff is hard, we have to keep thinking outside the box and coming up with new strats.

I actually UNPLUGGED my keyboard last night and am just using The Force to manipulate my mesmer over the interwebs. It took some practice but I think I can now actually sometimes loot a bag here and there but it’s hard to tell I get so distracted by all the flashing lights.

Pro tip: go back to when SoR first joined Tier One and how much we used to kitten and whine about 2v1s and omg soo zergy wtf. I would say we have come a long way!

I actually remember you zerging twice our numbers the first reset night.

I grew a much larger beard to soften the blow to my face. Due to this, the swelling has gone down and my wife and child recognize me again. I would recommend all male SoR players grow as much facial hair as they can.
