Guild Wars 2

IOJ just pounded FA and SOS. They’re the only one moving up from tier three. JQ thumped both DB and CD. It looks like DB will hang in tier two for another week.

This should be more interesting then ET v IOJ v SOS. Both IOJ and SOS depended on their off peak crowds to move up through the rankings. Having a server who’s strength is it’s American primetime crowd in DB paired with IOJ and likely aligned against ET may be interesting.

It will be fun to see how much IOJ has grown during the last week. It will be the first time I get to play DB. A new opponent always makes things interesting.

I’m amped. A new match-up is here.

Kinda blows… We would of got second place and even first if ET did better in the morning hours. We always held first in our prime time against the other two servers no problem, it was just HoD and SBI would come around and grab everything in the morning. It’s an issue that most of us are aware of and are currently working on. I feel bad for these two servers that are about to get crushed tho. Hopefully we can find more night crew guilds to hold down the fort in ET while the NA players sleep. Once we get there, we will be number 1…

I am kind of hoping DB and CD both move down to tier 3 just like SOS and IoJ did last week.

DB will be a very good match-up for us even if I do hate them with a passion, without JQ there it would be a good fight.

We definitely have some holes to fill.

Hopefully this won’t be another blow-out but I have too much confidence in our oceanic crew against everyone other then HOD. They’ll keep IOJ locked down and our primetime crew is too much for either of them to handle.

We’re likely to be fighting a 1 v 2 this week. We’ll see how much of a fight IOJ and DB give. I’m still expecting to have a capped map by Monday.

next match up it will be CD vs FA vs TC for tier 3…….

Surely if a server has a queue to enter all four maps of WvWvW every minute of the week, then does this so called “Prime Time” actually exist?

I don’t think so. FA and SOS got kitten hammered by IOJ. Getting beat by 300,000 points and finishing in second isn’t a reason to move up. We’ll see, but DB got beat by a large amount of points against tier two opponents. They’re going to end up staying. If anything, CD might stay due to their score from last week being higher then DB, depending on how close they can make it, but there’s only one team moving from t3 to t2 and that team is IOJ.

IoJ must of forgotten they got spawn camped for a week by ET last match. Enjoy.

Ya, on the first day of last weeks match when I logged on and saw the scores were like 15k 6k 6k with IoJ being one of the 6k, I decided I wasn’t gonna bother. I think the majority of the server gave up after the first or second day. Can’t really say it was much competition for ET and doesn’t say anything about what that server is capable. Going up a against two servers and especially against the #1 server and getting their kitten wrecked only goes to show that ET (ruin) is filled with nothing but griefers and people who are just bad in general as it took 2 servers to dislodge HoD and you still ended up getting wrecked.

This week’s match was a huge moral boost for all IoJ players as we decimated both FA and SoS even amidst their rampant cheating/exploiting to get our orbs. Servers like CD and ET seem like a joke now.

During the day events I considered IoJ the worst server we faced in terms of strategy and tactics.

There aren’t any tactics in WvW. Wait until you (if ever) get matched up with SoS. We played around the world with them for 3 hours as they took supply camps and had nothing else to do. IoJ was pretty garbage in the 24h matches but we’re probably the only server who has never had complaints about hackers. ET is chock full of hackers and exploiters (as is CD), so it’s really no surprise you guys thought you could beat HoD; still got pounded.

Every server has their hackers. It’s not a localized thing. I’ve seen IoJ speed hackers myself.

The hostility is palpable.

…and it feels warm and soft.

I can’t wait for the reset!

Last week sucked. I don’t think we stood up to ET in numbers at any point besides prime time, where we would eek out what points we could from taking what few fully fortified defenses possible. Our oceanic hours are good, but not capacity and it felt like ET was always at 100%. Also does not help most of the Aussie guilds REFUSE to leave spawn until they have everyone in. So as they are taking the shift we are usually down 20-30 players and at a disadvantage.

It really did not help us last week that SoS decided to all but ignore ET due to cowardice and constantly attack us whenever we were on the offensive in an attempt to get second. Rumor was it was a bunch of ET xfering to really give us the screws but I don’t know about that. All the more pleasure gained from rocking their kitten this week.

We hate you to dont worry. But you guys are a fun fight. As JQ brought no skill with their zerg, just numbers. ;p

if their server rankings work at all ET should stay in the top 3 for a rematch, and Jq would stay in the tier below. ET is a much stronger server than JQ is. whether they come in 3rd or not, they are much stronger opponents who know how to do more than mindless zerg.

i know they like to say “lolstormhenge” as a rationalization for their defeat last week, but i was there, and the reason they lost wasn’t because of any conspiracy theory alliance, it was because they were not a threat. none of us saw them as a threat. if JQ was attacking, it was no big deal, we’d focus on stormbluff and let a few people go mop up jq. Their siege placement is poor, if they ever use any. ive even seen them place trebs in front of a hod zerg, in attacking range… Their zergs have little to no coordination, i’ve literally broken their zergs with 2 other people, just came charging from the back while they were attacking greenbriar and literally 20+ people just head for the hills… and idk if they got better at this either, but they rarely if ever upgrade and defend what they take. it’s like they’ve got that 24hr matchup mentality running.

They have a lot of work to do in all of those areas if they want to be in the top bracket. These are all things that ET does substantially better, it’s not even close. JQ has the people for the mindless zerg rushes but it doesn’t work very well at all in the top matchup, because all of us here do it better, and do more.

This is all constructive, and they can work on these things i am pointing out. but honestly, if we are facing them again next week instead of ET, the weeks going to be kind of a joke unless they seriously massively improved somehow.

Theyve gotten worse at their zerging tbh. Just DB and CD wanted a fight to the death so we kinda said FU JQQ go play by yourselves =)

I don’t really think SoS was trying this week. After the ET griefing our server’s WvW and siphoning players off to their server. SoS doesn’t really want to face them again. They’re not fun to play against. So we made sure we lost so your server gets the honors. Enjoy!

ET will win this week’s tier 2 matchup, simply because they have the enormous zerg “guild” (or rather, guilds) Ruin.

Currently, there are only 4 servers with dominant and overwhelming NA AM presence: HoD, SBI, JQ, and ET. JQ and ET will keep bouncing from 3rd to 4th place for at least the next few weeks and thus, dominating the 2nd tier whenever they lose in the top tier.

So you purposely get beat a week of play so that you don’t have to get beat for a week. Seems legit.

DB was ranked 6th last week, and we were down by 50k points. IoJ is taking 5th place and CD is dropping to 6th. this upcoming week DB will be Tier III which just means we’ll be stuck dominating yet again, and jumping up to 4th or 5th place pending on how Tier II does. It really sucks because we could’ve possibly kept our spot in Tier II if everyone didn’t give up day 2. Everyone saw the AM presence and thought kitten it. We’ll do better next week, and ignored the fact that we could’ve at least fought for 5th.

Last week against ET we got demonlished and after the first couple of days there was never a queue (at least at any time I was playing) compared to this week where I was often queued for bordlands/EB.

Mind you having said that our play last week was sloppy at best. This week I have seen improvement and more organisation, at least this week I have not seen 20-30 players pointlessly beating on SM without siege, perhaps we are learning.

IoJ won this week and deservedly so. I think they will be a stronger force against ET tomorrow and I hope they put up a real fight.

I think that most people will switch off a bit if it becomes obvious they aren’t going to win the match (which was pretty clear after the weekend) and many in SoS and FA probably did that (as did IoJ and SoS last week against ET).

Saying that I enjoyed playing FA and IoJ and the map was regularly split between servers with some close fought battles. The main strength of IoJ was they were the more consistent against FA and SoS 24/7.

We’ll see I think IoJ vs DB vs ET is the matchup as well, although DB could drop to 7, either way don’t expect any alliances from us

Jakula.1072:

Unfortunately, this happens with all servers. I saw one guy state that he gave up after 15k vs 6k vs 6k, which is easily made up. In my opinion, people give up the fight too early, and that’s while you’ll almost always see the queue times significantly drop off as soon as a server starts losing. Heck, our queues were non-existant for the last two-thirds of this week and I was able to choose any borderlands I wanted, and sometimes EB.

There are those of us who will always fight when we have the time. I don’t care if we’re getting rofl-stomped, or we’re so high that we have mathematically won the match, I will be in WvW giving my enemies the good fight they deserve. Respect to everyone who plays their hardest no matter what the scoreboard says.

IoJ is one of the few servers who can challenge us in our oceanic prime time (as they were the other unofficial “oceanic server”). I think IoJ has always had more NA guilds which makes a difference in WvW. It has been SoS vs IoJ two weeks running now.

Next week IoJ and SoS will be in separate brackets so results will probably be very different.

Ioj player here. Last week our NA guild xferred to ioj on the last day of getting pounded by et. If anyone from FA and SoS will tell you, <BP> isn’t a force to be taken lightly. We plan on giving ET a good fight this week and I really look forward to this weeks matchups. Well played SoS and FA, minus the few orb hackers (can’t blame the server for a couple people). GL all and BP will see you on the battlefield!

I’ll admit Dragonbrand has better group tactics/organization, but they aren’t great players.

Dragonbrand is the key

if DB attacks ET, it will be a semi decent match

if DB is non-existent and gets pushed off the map by ET, it’ll be 1on1 with IoJ and IoJ does not have the population to fight ET

the gap between 1900s 2-3-4 ranked server and the 1700s 5-6 servers is gigantic

but the secret is the 3rd server

if the 3rd server fights.. it’ll be semi-decent

if absent

Oh don’t worry DB will Fight! we will take our share of towers and keeps during NA Prime.

We have no night, none that I’ve seen anyway.

I really hope that we can see a balancing of the servers right now i really hate how there are 4 strong servers and that always screws over 5th and 6th place. Hopefully I will be surprised and DB and IOJ are able to put up a strong fight. I am already expecting both servers to focus on us and that would be fun to play against if it is actually carried out.

You are unreal
There aren’t 4 strong servers there are 4 server that night zerg, therefore they win

The only way you will beat us is if you take 30% of the map while we are asleep, worked for jq, so I expect the same thing from you.
