Guild Wars 2

Hey guys! I thought I should post about how things on IoJ are getting better! Today is the best wvw day I’ve seen in the last week. We had three commanders on at one time and enough players on to actually form a zerg and compete with those gooma jerks! Also, YB decided to come join the party and we had some great3 way battles as well as individual battles against each server’s zerg. Great day!

Edit: Thanks to the goomas that decided to cheekily hide a Mesmer in our garrison. Hope you had fun with the FA zerg!

I wish the best of luck to those on IoJ. IoJ was my second home, with Kaineng being my first home. I hope FA to become a third home for me.

I did what I could at IoJ and for months many guilds who loved WvW played together. We won together and we lost together. We would call out in Lions Arch for support in WvW many times and the responses were negative. We saw different guilds come and go.

Halloween came and during our Tier 1 match most did event and so out of anger, some WvW specific guilds left. The same happened when Wintersday came. Each time we called out and wanted support, it was always negative.

In fact I felt I was being intrusive when I asked for support at garrison one day in LA, but I also thought that the WvW bonuses affect everyone in the server, including the PvE population.

Guesting is the perfect solution.

IoJ is primarily PvE if not what I feel is either the top PvE server or one of the best.

When guesting comes, we have the best of both worlds. We can guest in PvE servers that don’t care too much about WvW or the tier and bonuses they are in, while the IoJ guilds that left due to having loyalty to each other, having won and lost for months can look for better things in WvW.

Please note, to IoJ readers that even facing attrition we still held out to the end of matches and transferred over. By Attrition I mean, I would speak with guilds on teamspeak and we reached the point that we cared a lot for the state of the server and for each other that each of us were putting in 1 – 3 hours beyond our raid times. It was cutting into our real life and the Fractals/Dungeons/PvE running required to help each other gear up and Badges alone doesn’t make a build.

We were exhausted, facing attrition, still high hopes for each other’s defense and in Lions Arch, still the entire “we don’t need to WvW” or “who are you to tell us what to do” as if asking for help is criminal.

So far it appears that FA is more receptive to WvW support and some balance. I’ve had more fun this match up than in a long time.

Like I said before. I wish IoJ the best of luck and hope you do well. I will be seeing your place in the ladder and after the 28th, we can always guest in the server and do the PvE things we’ve loved to do.

I actually just transferred to IoJ. I was on Stormbluff Isle, but it was a little too zergy for me. I really enjoyed playing WvW today, so I’m going to stay for awhile at least. I like that it’s a smaller server, even if we couldn’t capture much.

IoJ has the biggest Filipino community in GW2.. I’ve been trying to find an exclusively filipino wvw guild in SOS ever since I started playing and there’s none. If any of them transferred to SOS it would help a lot for us pinoys there who are currently ‘leaderless’ and scattered.

Im in the same boat, brother. I transferred from SBI 1-2 weeks ago. Even though our presence is small, its fun. Very fun. I see the same names pop up each night which is fantastic for community building. And our commanders are pretty legit too.

Once the ranking junk is settled, and we are in a tier we belong(due to mass exits of guilds), Im hoping for more healthy matchups.

And its not that its a SMALLER server. PVE wise, I think this server is stud. Just need to get more bodies into wuvwuv.

Then come to IoJ? :p
