Great fights over the weekend, for what little time I got to play. Had a fun night hopping between BG and JQ BLs on Sunday. Now if only I could get those pesky pre-cursors to drop like everyone gloats about!
You may have a long wait Thundar. Let me explain. You see, in typical MMO design, the tougher the creature the better the loot. Anet has decided that this should apply to WvW as well. Thus we’re dropping pre-cursors for our friends on JQ and BG. Meanwhile, all our opponents are dropping for me are ruined plant fibers… Wait I take that back, one JQ did drop a white, level 15 dagger. I got 15c for that beauty!
Take that back, my plant fibers are far from ruined

I find it funny that each server accuses the other two of working together.
Ikr, it’s like rinse and repeat each week with some of these comments.
There are 3 servers, 2v1’s are….. inevitable.
Wait? WHAT!
A warrior, a guardian, and an elementalist walk into an open field…
The Warrior turns to the guardian and says, “Did you hear something?”
Guardian replies, “No, but how’d the elementalist die?”
Just had a great 1v1 with a guardian from KnT in EB. Let him know I had fun was great fight and hope he saw the /bow after the fight. hammer/GS guardians 1v1 was pretty funny.

Does anyone on JQ play for the fights? Or just to win? Serious question.
If the two are mutually exclusive to you then quit this game now. You’ll be happier. Most people I play with aim to have fun AND win. If the commanders you chase are too uptight to try crazy stuff for the lulz then find other people to run with. I can assure you the commanders I follow in WvW are the ones having fun and winning is a nice side effect. I pick my BL or EB based on who is commanding. I don’t get paid to follow boring commanders.
And if you’re looking for 1v1 why aren’t you playing sPvP? WvW is about larger scale fights, siege, etc. I’ve spent so much coin on arrow carts and balistas…

Don’t you have to fight to win? Serious…
Well if you consider a zerg killing 10 people a “fight”. Then I know where you stand.
If you want small scale battles you could spvp. Or go out there and recruit more guilds for your TZ. But in reply to your question, There’s nothing more fun than running around in a large zerg steam rolling everything in its path. Call it what you will, fight/slaughter whatever.
I think everyone who play’s any game will play to win. If you dont then you need to re-evaluate your outlook.

Ok, so if this is what the majority of JQ feels, then I know where you stand.
I like good fights as in something that can and does fight back and may even come close to or does beat me. Thats what I call fun. Thats what I call a fight.
And of course I play to win the fight, I guess I should’ve asked, do you more care about winning the overall match, or the battles. Screw overall because that’s just a coverage game on who has more people in a 24/hour time frame.

If you knew you had the round the clock coverage, would you not try to keep the map setup in a favorable way for the next shift? It’s not that the battles are any less important. It’s just that their priorities differ from yours currently it sounds like.

Happens to all sides, I get run over all the time by opponents zergs when out scouting, yak slapping or yak running. To be honest, count yourself lucky it was JQ and only 10. When it happens to me its always 30+.
On your original question, is there a difference? Actually, there only seems to be a difference if you are not winning and then it seems that folks play for the fights and not the points….
Personally I like to do both but maybe I am odd that way. That is not to say we can’t dress up in pink, or have a naked norn night while doing so, ok maybe I am odd.
I do manage to find plenty of small man action when I want but you have to choose your targets/areas of operation carefully. Hope you find what you are looking for.

I have plenty of members out there roaming around for small fights, feel free to hunt SF tags as you see fit. Fair warning, you may need to bring more ppl.

Hi everyone. Had fun last night running with TIN on whatever map I was on (dunno, was hard to tell from the bottom of that bottle). Greatest guild ever. EVER.
Just one of many future new guilds we enticed over for a few days with our vast reserves of gold allocated for both recruiting new guilds and server jumpers. It’s the only way we can win.
Good to know someone on JQ understands why they win!
Forum warriors should know better… you’re here enough. TIN, BUGA, ZERG… I wont explain.

A few people on the forum is not a majority. Are you also implying that nobody gives JQ a good fight? I get plenty of good fights the small slaughter’s in between are just a loot bag bonus. The ‘good fights’ we get between JQ-SoR-BG usually happen around NA prime everything between is what it is.
You’re obviously mad about getting rolled over by large zergs, all I can say is welcome to WvW, it happens no matter what server you are on. Win or lose WvW is all about big numbers. Fights are fun, winning is the cherry on the cake.
But what I love most about my server is the community. JQ is just a great place to be.
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers. For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother; be never so vile. This day shall gentle his condition. And gentlemen (and ladies) in Lions Arch now abed shall think themselves accursed they were not here, and hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks that fought with us in the mists.

I dispute this. Getting people to hold my manhood is definitely not cheap, in fact it’s really expensive.

Great fights over the weekend, for what little time I got to play. Had a fun night hopping between BG and JQ BLs on Sunday. Now if only I could get those pesky pre-cursors to drop like everyone gloats about!

No offense! I just figured it was the leftovers of all that omnomberry compote y’all down right before a big fight. Mayhap they should be renamed to omnomberry sliders…
Thanks for garrison JQ! Must be frustrating to have to redo waypoint in garrison so many times with the amount of coverage you guys have.
Nah we can handle losing a garrison. Not sure how we would handle coming a distant 3rd every week though. Must be frusrating to have to come on the forums and boast about small victories to make you feel better.
Must feel like this…. <groundhog day pic>
That’s kinda uncalled for…. Remember when we were almost perma second to SoS back in the SoS/JQ/SBI days giving it all we had, so any major objective like Garrison was awesome to have? Then when we finally won, we boasted like we had beaten the game before calming down. Goooood times ^^
On topic of fights rather than zerging. Get a party and roam. Eventually you’ll get zerged but holding them off as long as you can defending dolyaks, scouts and guildmaster for a tick or two is the best thing ever! If commanders are attacking something, go defend/scout something as opponent will most likely do the same. Way more fun than 30+ zergs taking supply camps all the time, then moving past a tower to the next supply camp. Though I’m not complaining. Simple communication in chat = lots of bags for everyone for the loss of a supply camp
Also nice to see this thread isn’t a ragefest for once. Hopefully it stays this way!

Good fights on SoR BL tonight. I’m a little rusty, but wanted to get some practice in in case ANet actually fixes this tomorrow. To the bunker Ele giving the fun 1v1 from garrison to north of Longview, I salute you.
Magic how JQ BL and BG BL were green yet SoR BL untouched by JQ and now watching SoR PvDoor our BL with no defenders ;P. Magnets, how do they work?
we were outmanned on SoR BL. Also during the breakout event an entire SoR zerg came along and steamrolled. So it’s not that we werent there, just not enough of us.
Then people started to log off for the night (The commanders online are not oceanic, and it’s now 5am on the east coast) so we dont have as many people on, SoR took this as their cue to flip as much of the BG stuff as possible.
