Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, stuck at work. Can i get a score update pls

Score Update it is!

Sweet!! The score isnt as bad as i thought it might be. We’re going to have to kick some kitten tonight sor to catch up!

It’s Monday night on Radio Free JQ; this is Uncle Mance, with music, and the truth until reset.

Let me pass on a few words for some of our brothers and sisters in the occupied zones: “the chair is no longer against the wall, the chair is no longer against the wall”, the charr’s mustache was fake , the charr;s mustache was fake".

It’s happy Monday, Jade Quarry, another day closer to victory. And for all of you out there, on, or behind the lines, this is your song.

This is Professor K and you are listening to Jet set Radiooooooooooooo.

JQ’s been fielding a strong presence since EU TZ and now we’re almost entering NA prime and they’re still going pretty strong.

Stories of JQ’s strong weekday presence were certainly not exaggerated. We’ve really got our work cut out for us.

Been having fun fights all around, let’s keep it going.

Awesome fights tonight folks. Props to all three servers. Was on EB tonight. This is what T1 match up should be like, less than 4k separating all three. I really hope it stays this way for the rest of the week, please please please.

Good luck to all three.

Good match so far everyone. There have been good fights all around.

I spent earlier today yak slapping alone for a while on a fully green JQBL. Managed to rack up 130 points just from killing yaks. It was as if though I held Stonemist by myself for an hour.

Also got some easy loot from some JQ players while doing so. Those silly humans thought they could defeat me, but little did they know that I am destined to be the Overlord of all of Tyria.

Free beverages, meals and cookies will get you Overlord status really really quick.

Hmmm, cookies might be a good idea. This will make you guys fatter which means it will be harder to run away from me. hehehe hehehe

Cookies it is.

Score update for those interested.

mann, o mann. i realllllly really wanna play this week. but probs won’t be able to get on until Friday night (GMT+8, so Friday morning-ish). seems it’s been good fights all around. looking forward to see how the rest of the week turns out and can’t wait to jump back in.

three day holiday coming up next week though… WHY COULDN’T IT BE THIS WEEEK

Man is JQ not allowed to play during the weekends or something? The difference is astounding.

Hey all,

As many have already stated throughout this thread; GREAT FIGHTS SO FAR!!!! In honor of some of the greatest WvW I have ever experienced (been playing since BWE1), I made a quick video showing some of the highlights my Guild and I experienced in EB over the weekend. Shows a lot of the main organized WvW guilds (FoE, PRX, Choo, ext…) who were playing in EB this weekend clashing together in huge super organized fights!!!

We won some, we lost some, but one thing’s for sure, the level of competition and more importantly the fun, has increased dramatically with this new reset! Enjoy…

This is Tier 1:

Im thinking Conspiracy… JQ is trying to manipulate the reset scores. I don’t see the usual amount of AoS, PRX, and EMP tags. In my mind there is no way SOR can be doing this well. Now I wonder why SOS isnt doing more?

Farming those kills @SoR Bay. Almost like exploiting ; )

If I am remembering everything correctly, this is the first match where SoS is head-on fighting the entirety of JQ post-transfer. Last week they didn’t try that hard due to resets, and the week before we hadn’t got all our transfers in.

JQ has always done poorer over the weekend.

That being said, I wish the abnormal queue issues aren’t as problematic as they currently are. We probably won’t have a full-on rematch for at least a month, which sucks. This has been an excellent matchup from all angels. Props to all three servers.

JQ has ridiculous numbers right now and they’re putting them to use quite well. Going to be a rough night ahead of us.

IMHO, it is NOT a conspiracy. SoR is playing well and SoS is doing what it can. I still see a very good number of SoS out and playing their hearts out. JQ with the exception of 2 weeks out of the last 11 weeks, has always started out slowly the first 72 hours.

SoS had queues on 3 maps at times last night in oceanic, either good numbers were out or a querk, either way, the fight goes on.

Farming your WP was too Good fighting going on in there.

PS: Like the flame ram?

epic defense of bay on sor bl, props to sos/tysm <3

I’m thinking JQueue couldn’t get their guilds in due to the stackage, “Oh here comes another SoS post about JQ’s coverage”. People over estimate SoS’s coverage, we have a a decent NA coverage, Really good Oceanic, decent SEA then only VoTF fields the EU slot.

Every night, even weekends we manage to get our full WvW guilds in and never have this “Queue” problem or “glitch” which everyone seems to be referring to, gives you an idea of the servers I guess? Numbers vs dedication? The longest queue we had last night was on SoS BL which admittedly was like 30minutes, but the next was SoR BL which had no queue then we took the full MERC force of 30-40 over there and filled the map leading to a 10minute queue.

It’s true, JQ BL was taken back last night by a massive pug forces, saw atleast 15 different guild tags in the zerg.

When the majority of MERC, DiE, ND and AFS (Oceanic / SEA guilds) logged, our ppt plummets always has, and FoO / Euro’s wait for this soon as this happens our ppt drops, by 11pm GMT +8 last night SoS was outmanned on JQ BL, SoR BL and SoS & EB both did not have queues. This is our coverage, don’t overestimate it. I’m sure JQueue has queues all day everyday on atleast 2-3 maps.

The lack of EU coverage means our NA which is not as strong as the other 2 servers, logs on to find T3 keeps in our own BL and have lost all foot holds in other maps leading to NA spending half their day flipping T3 keeps from same numbers from other servers, only to at the end of their timezone finally equaled out the PPT to hand over to Oceanics, who then have 3hrs to prepare for the onslaught of FoO and JQ’s massive SEA coverage.

^ As to not make this qq, SoS looking for EU guilds!

JQ has ridiculous numbers right now and they’re putting them to use quite well. Going to be a rough night ahead of us.

accidentally double post avenge? lol

I have enjoyed fighting the SBI guilds that didn’t follow the guys who would never leave SBI not now not ever not never ever never than the one that did. Much more of a challenge to go up against.

I skimmed through a lot of the thread just to see what was goin’ on, but I see a lot of 2v1 2v1 2v1 here and there throughout the whole thread. It’s part of the reason why I stopped posting on these forums. Sorry for not fully reading for content then, just the number of times I have seen 2v1 posted in the thread alone was making me go, kitten this doesn’t change ever huh..

I started the first post about 2v1 & everyone that went with it turned it into a drinking game. It seemed as if everyone on these servers understand that its part of the game, part of the tactics, and is expected of high skill level servers. Sure on other threads you may see people using 2v1 derogatory & complaining as to why that’s why they are losing. But here, as from all the post, we take it as a positive & welcome the challenge. Sorry you got the wrong impression but this thread has been great, the gaming has been great, & i think everyone is going to keep it that way.

Most likely bug, we couldn’t even escort a Dolyak into hills before outmanned SoR came and took it back.

Apparently all three servers have gotten together and signed a treaty covering SoS BL that states:

No fewer than 30 representatives from each of the three servers must be present before a keep, tower, or supply camp can be properly contested. No 1v1 is permitted.

Whew.

Fatal.2815:

Tell me about it. You in the lord room and JQ on the other side. Think I wracked up 500 kills and 0 deaths over the life of that. I did get downed once though when I didn’t see the portal bomb on my head. Meanies made me get my stacks back Fun fun fights all around.

You had to be wracking up the kills too given all that siege you had in there. sick

The queue bugs are annoying. The relative coverage of servers is just a fact of life now.

Hopefully we will continue to get great fights and people will still be enjoying this game in the months to come.

Update for those who want it.

Really fun match up so far.

JQ likes to play with handicaps

Pvp.2758:

JQ talks a lot of talk, but doesn’t show for any of it.

It’s fun making fun of Tier 1; Tier 2 was more of a competition IMO

Lol you’re obviously new

SmokeyNYY.7841:

OR

the weekends is where everyone has coverage and so the fights are nice and even because it’s not a numbers game. The SEA/Euro time during the week is pvdoor, time. Get in make everything T3 and then when it’s back to even numbers you have the advantage of fully upgraded keeps.

I play on JQ and when I get on wvw sat/sun it always seems to be outnumbered. And its not just raw numbers, its guilds and organization, lack of commanders, etc. Seems weekends WvW on JQ are more of casuals and pugs. At least its my impression

During the week there is always more commanders around and seems to me the fights are more even.

But then again, I"m living in Saudi Arabia at the moment, so weekend here is on thursday/friday, and thats when I have more than a couple hours to play.
Maybe what SoS and SoR need is more arabic coverage? =]

Anyway… Great fights so far… looking forward to get my toon to lvl 80 and beeing able to do real dmg to more than 1 person at a time! heheheh
Having a lot of fun here on this match-up

No way were the fights even. I was in EB multiple times when JQ was outmanned. We even took their keep from them, and were spawn camping them for a little bit. Now its like they have a zerg of 40 people everywhere at once!!!

This week has seen some epic fighting and we have enjoyed a very good natured thread.

IMHO, Yes I agree coverage matters, BUT it is best to just leave it alone as a topic and get on with the game. IMHO, talking about it just awakens the forum warriors.

Time and the ratings reshuffle will sort out coverage issues.

No worries, I just failed to fundamentally read everything that was posted. Next time I’ll just lurk in the shadows and troll Miasmic somehow.

First to 100k!

Update for y’all.

Look I agree, as long as we also don’t pretend the complete turnaround in numbers is “surprising” or unrelated to coverage.

We are all outmanned at different times on the weekend but this is more limited on a weekend as people can stay up longer, no work etc I personally never saw JQ outmanned but I don’t play on EB and nor do I likely play same timezone to you. But on a weekend we are all in the same boat. The weekend was the best WvW I have been involved with to date with great even fights against both servers at all times I was on and the scores reflected that.

To imagine an entire server is different to any other server with regards to weekend commitments is ridiculous.

I think it’s a very even balance between the servers it’s a shame coverage has such an impact on the overall score but all you can do is focus on your own timeslot and try and do the best you can.

Fun night in EB, [SF] got to fight with the mighty [Choo]! Boy you guys get around fast! Probably the most fun I’ve had in EB ever as we usually stick to borderlands maps.

Today

JQ held majority of PPT lead for North American prime time. On EB, Strike Force was the guild presence for JQ with superb support from motivated players on the map. SF never got to field the numbers they wanted due to bugged que.( I manage to get in after 20 mins )

Choo was easily the largest presence on EB map. Sometimes they could afford to split their zerg in two. There were plenty of great fights between SF + JQ versus Choo. By the time I logged we were over 300 tick and had taken Stonemist. Just as I left, some of our NA players finally got que pop after few hours including Jed.

Yesterday
Hardly any que at NA prime-time. Superbowl probably a factor. During Oceanic timezone, JQ ppt dropped as usual to around 100ppt. Scarcely present on 2 maps. JQ lost alot of ground for hours. Six hours after ( deep into Asian / Euro crossover ) JQ started averaging 300 + ppt. That momentum seems to have continued today.

Timezone observation : JQ doesn’t really have any presence for oceanic and early Asian is undermanned. Way more Asian players transfered to SoR from SBI and Neverdie is on SoS.
All that 24/7 coverage stuff is inaccurate.

Late night Asian going into Euro tz is when JQ has superior numbers. There are short ques on some maps. Not sure what happens in Euro timezone for this matchup. The EU guild ( RG ) had posted a good-bye/ thanks thread on JQ.

The JQ timezone that received largest nett increase of transfers is North American.

“even fights” isn’t how i would describe what you are talking about with weekend fights. The numbers being equal is only part of the equation.

This is oversimplifying.

Numbers do matter in WvW but what also matters is strategy, leadership, and field presence.

A server that is sitting just barely above the queue level might have a lot easier time getting all of their coordinated people on the right maps where they are needed and working together.

A server that has an hour long queue may not have such a luxury.

I’m not claiming this is the case, but this is just one reason why such a simplistic view of “fairness in WvW” isn’t so cut and dry.

This has been a great match-up. The good news is that if the week ended right now, the 3 servers would have a rematch next week. The bad news is that it would be in tier 4. Best tier 4 battle ever? haha

Fair point, though all the servers seemed to have queue problems on the weekend so hard to predict the effect. Reality is the wvw system has not been designed to be “fair” so we just need to accept that.

Not sure about anyone else. But for me the queue and lag issue seems to be working fine. Time for some WvW

Great fights all week. I hate AND love the queues.

Who said we did not belong in T1? Laid that beast to rest!!!

Props to JQ and SoS for some of the best WvW I’ve had since I started playing. While I do miss our small strike force wrecking havoc all over the map(too zergy) this is far more enjoyable!

Tsquared.2384:

JQ has never been a weekend server, if we are within 10-15k of SoS on Sunday it’s a win in my book. Should get interesting down the stretch. Always fun to see the excitement new servers bring up to T1. Long queues aside, some pretty fun fights thus far.

JQ players are all multimillionaires. They party hard on the weekend, play hard during the week.

AFK.1854:

JQ’s recruiting effort was like getting a penile implant on your penile implant on your penile implant.

More like a “buy 1 implant get 2 free” offer that wasn’t told to you until after the surgery was complete.
