Guild Wars 2

For all the trash talk, for all the bitter rivalry that seems to seethe in this grouping, we here at IoJ want to thank you. It’s been a good week of battles, and we certainly fared better this time than last. Good luck up in the Tier 1 bracket this weekend, and we’ll see you soon.

Buzz KAPOW!!!

seriously, been fun.

Thanks, we’ve had a great time as well. Keep up the good fight!

ET won’t be in T1 because SB is currently losing to JQ. HoD is still in first.

@Chewy… that doesn’t make sense. If SBI is losing to JQ, wouldn’t they be bumped down to tier 2 next week (assuming ET gained enough ELO to move up past SBI).

Anyways, here’s to hoping we have a good match next week with HoD, JQ, and ET. If HoD still have numbers and strength after the CND guild disbanding, we may have to team up to dethrone HoD for once. But we’ll figure it out then. But I’m thinking JQ might be able to fare now against HoD, but we’ll see.

It depends on two factors, one ET has to gain at least 50points which they will but SB needs to lose at least 40points which may or may not happen.

Its been fun Ioj Is really coming together

Thanks. We’ve had our moments as well. It’s great to see a lot of spirited guilds ignore the score and come out to fight regardless. Much respect.

In all honesty surprised by this thread, but thanks!

Super stoked for the match we all think is going to happen, and here is hoping it does turn up. Something about playing HoD + JQ/SBI always makes me wanna play better

SBI are only 3 points ahead of JQ, practically evenly ranked.
SBI are losing quite badly this week (hod 231k, JQ 184k, SBI 139k).
Based off previous weeks I expect SBI to lose around 25-30 points

I’m unsure what ET is winning by, but they’re currently 60 points behind SBI.
Last week JQ gained 58 points winning in T2. ET would only need to gain 30-35 points to knock SBI out of T1 and take their place, which I expect to happen.

I look forward to next week assuming this is the case.

It was fun leading the EB battles against ET. Since we recently transferred from JQ to IoJ, I think sooner or later we’ll be able to bump us up to T1. We need more North Americans. IDOL is a North American guild, and we literally just got here. One step at a time. Was fun ET. Get used to seeing us. =)

It was fun guys and thanx for the fun times. We might not get bumped into the tier 1 bracket because SBI is in third. Since they were in second, their ranking might not drop low enough past ET bracket. This makes me wonder how it will work if the 2nd and 3rd place server keeps switching spots every round. Will they just continue to swap ranking and be in Tier 1 forever. If this was the case, how could this be prevented to stop servers from purposely affecting their ranking to stay in the top bracket?

Well from the looks of it the remains of TA (from what I heard around 9 guilds out of 16?) is transferring to Blackgate.

If that is indeed true (rumors are just rumors), then it may indeed be a match between ET and JQ. HoD may just fall down to the bottom unless other guilds step up to take the leadership of HoD.

Kinda disappointed, but I guess it’ll be mostly a battle between ET and JQ. Here’s to hoping thats not true and we have a good battle between all 3 servers.

This has been the best continuous WvW action I’ve ever seen in T2. As a member of ET, I’ve seen epic victories and our share of epic defeats. It’s been a blast though. IoJ and CD have my respect. Salute.

I don’t think youre going to see 9 guilds transfer to BG they are “full” status most of the time. It would be pretty hard for 1 full guild to do it, but 9 would be impossible

I believe those 9 guilds have already transferred and that is why it’s saying that Blackgate is full.

Just a question for ET?

Does Ruin still try to crash the servers when they are getting hammered?

Ah Dark Crag how I miss theee

Must suck to be so bad at life that you actually think that Arreyanne.

I’m in MoB on IoJ, and I’ve had some really great fights with ET this cycle. Definitely lessons to learn and our North American lineup is still learning to work together and grow in size, but we’ve gotten pretty formidable for an Oceanic server. MoB came here recently from Devonas Rest where it was us and maybe 3 other guilds actually doing much of anything and getting stomped when we were asleep, we just have to worry about holding our own until the Aussies wake up now.

Any ET here who were in that Klovan Gully take some days ago? Might have been on the weekend? We were in EB and ET had pretty much everything on the map, and Extreme Team ninja’d Klovan and we joined the defense. Held off an ET zerg for about 45 minutes with both walls and the gate down, while the rest of IOJ took a keep, a few towers, and was bashing the gate at Stonemist by the time we fell. That was the best defense I’ve taken part in yet, and I’ve done a lot of those.

Ruin perplexes me though. There seems to be a big quality difference in their players, possibly because of their size? They coordinate well enough, and manage to be just about everywhere, but if the odds are 1v1, we tend to wipe them. The individual combatants aren’t always the most skilled, but there’s a whole lot of coordination, and a whole lot of numbers involved.

Let the trash talkers talk all they want. They are just the vocal minority of kitten. I know I speak for my guild and I think I speak for the vast majority of ET when I say it was great match, lots of fun and a good showing by IoJ and CD. Look forward to seeing you guys again in the future.

Barkey, I was part of the Extreme Team group that took Klovan’s. I actually have a video of the whole defense, with a pretty good view from the ballista. I’m working on editing it before i put it up. ET provided us with a lot of good battles throughout the week. Just wish i could have gotten videos of them all.

I’m unsure what ET is winning by

Current score is ET 365k, IoJ 153k, CD 100k

@Buzzkapow

So you were the guy I was protecting on the ballista at the top of the stairs? :P

I was the rifle warrior sitting on top of the supply hut roof. We were protecting you with me acting as fire control, Ctrl+T targeting anyone who came towards the stairs and tried to make a mad dash for you to take down the ballista. It was me, a necro, a ranger, and another warrior all focus firing anyone who tried to come up the stairs at you.
