GL ALL!!

EB Champs! We’re still working on it, good fighting going on.

From BG to IOJ and SBI.

May the best server win and let there be blood shed and glory!

:D

GL HF!

Anyone got a score update for Aussies that have to work on a Saturday night?

IoJ is up a couple hundred, BG close behind with SBI holding the most ppt and coming up quickly from last.

Sorry just literally logged out so I don’t have accurate numbers but I think IoJ is 200 ahead of BG and 400 ahead of SBI.

Thanks Scyndek

Right now it’s..

IoJ 5095
Blackgate 4955
Stormbluff 4803

ah just realized it wasn’t thousands but hundreds, thanks for the score

I hate working weekends. I always miss the start to matches, which are often the most exciting period of the week.

Thanks for the update, shortcake.

Updated score IoJ just got a second orb recently.

We’re still trying to push hard in EB

Sbi – 340
Bg – 230

Updated as of: sat october 6th – 8:45am EST

Seems IoJ is getting double teamed lol. Never ceases to amaze me how trash some other servers are. SBI was in last place and should have stayed in last place as they are the inferior server.

well, it didnt take long for someone to cry “double team!”

^ also didnt take long for someone to realize their server is trash and have to team

Spicyhash.7605:

^ also didnt take long for someone to realize their server is trash and have to team

its wiser to attack the weaker enemies to save up strength to hit the stronger ones.

and thats why we hit you first. ( obligatory smiley face )

lol @ these kids

BG 2 hours ago had 0 queue to join any of the borderlands, and a 30 second queue to join EBG

this is mid day on a saturday… which can only mean bad things are coming; massive QQ from the night cap.

also, i lold at the 10+ IoJ sitting in the jumping puzzle treasure room. thats something i never expected people to be so kitten to do.

LOL@Spicy.

SBI only ended up in 4th place this week because we got hammered by JQ and HOD simultaneously for the first three-four days of the match and by the time they were done carving up everything between them, players stopped bothering to log in to defend. It sucks, and its demoralizing, and that’s why we had zero queues and our own borderlands was a mix of green and red (we were blue).

What I’m trying to say is: deal with it. We’ll be gone next week, hopefully.

Enough of the kitten talk. (And yes I used kitten, not the real word.)

SBI started off slow, but through a lot of persistence we managed to slowly gain the lead. I was playing in EB from reset to 4am. 11 hours if you will.

There was a lot of struggling over Stonemist, and those were some awesome fights. We had servers ninja’ing the castle multiple times, long sieges, and many hard-fought victories and defeats. We had mesmers porting in zergs, flanking maneuvers, and everything under the sun. It was a LOT of fun. When I logged off, SBI had managed to take and hold SM reliably, with a full set of guild buffs.

These threads should be about the fun, not about whining about your server being attacked, or who can win in a pissing contest. Mention the battles and the fun you had in them.

Congrats to IoJ and BG. SBI was going in strong and expecting to dominate straight away, and quite a few were surprised that we were in last. You guys are great servers, and I had a blast fighting against you.

So IoJ or anyone else is getting double teamed when we owned all 3 keeps on SBI borderlands while being under attack in both for like 3 hours with 0 BGvIoJ cross swords to the south? Or when BG is completely off the map in IoJ borderlands so SBI is being hit by them in spawn + IoJ.

Take a hint already.
(Hint: Just stop kitten complaining about double teams)

Update, good to see inside EBG IoJ and BG wont touch eachother

BG and IoJ haven’t attacked each other for almost 8 hours now in Blue map either, and i was in Green map for about 6 hours before that and BG and IoJ didn’t touch each other once when i was there either. I’m pretty sure they legitimately have an alliance at this point.

It’s just so….fun. Having to split up groups and beat them down at the same time is so much harder and more satisfying then just focusing 1 side all the way into their spawn. I hope our server can remember all these epic 1v2 holds for when we’re against JQ/HoD again, and remember that SBI does not just kitten give up our own territory even if we’re being teamed.

Coming from BG, I can say that’s just as BS as all the other cross-world alliances people complain about. We spent a good chunk of time earlier this evening working on getting our orb back from Janthir with in our own borderlands.

Doesn’t sound like a very alliance-y thing to do, stealing the orb with in our borderlands. Man up, SBI, you should know by now there are no cross-world alliances.

So much trash talk… from the trash…..

SBI expected to walk in and dominate against the other two teams in T2. When it didn’t happen they started getting organised after they realised how embarrassing this had the potential to be.

Both IoJ and BG had outmanned buffs and practically no queues after about 9 hours of play on almost all pvp maps. Neither team gave up or chose to team up.

It’s been a super first day and a half, not sure why all the kittening whingers have to post on here to try and do some kitten stroking. Obviously something to do with their own insecurities….

I tried to bring this thread back to decency, but all it is is people whining. Or talking crap. See post above.

Seriously, this has been a fun time. It is in the best interest for BG and IoJ to hit us at SBI hard, so that they can take the lead. If they focused on each other, we would retain our lead. Got off early tonight so it will be interesting to see how our SBI night crew holds out. When I left, BG and IoJ were hitting us hard from both sides (EB) and it is some pretty crazy battles, running from one area to the next.

So please, let us keep this thread respectful, have some good laughs and memories shared, and just have some fun. We are all very good servers, if only some attitudes matched the skill.

This weekend has been the first time I’ve really done a lot of WvW, so I can’t compare a whole lot…but I have to say I had a phenomenal time in SBI and BG borderlands today.

Lots of (sometimes hilarious) zerging on all sides, and plenty of people willing to push and keep things interesting!

Highlight of my evening was probably how many times I managed to get away from small groups as I was running around solo getting map completion points (especially the two separate groups that harassed me as I went for the vista up by the north supply camp :P). Like I said, new to WvW and I’m a pretty newb Thief anyway…so I pop stealths and run when I can. Sorry to anyone I came across who was looking for a decent 1v1…or an easy kill, lol.

nerf underwater combat elites, me and my groupmate won a fight 2v10

I don’t know how many times people have to read this before they understand, but in 3v3 matches it’ll often appear as if the other two teams are working together against you. In reality it never happens, you’re just getting unlucky.

Well I’m having a good time personally.
I also agree that no matter what it’s going to appear there is 2v1. Even if there is an alliance that’s how the game is meant to be played!

Just ignore the trash talk from the minority and have fun guys =)

Last night, IoJ was holed up in the Hills Keep on BG borderlands. We had the orb, so naturally both enemy teams would go after us. And they hit us. Hard. SBI broke through the south and cleverly went through the northern inner. BG then broke through the north outer and into the inner as well. And this was where IoJ made their stand. And we made them pay…dearly.

What did we say to the Death? “Not tonight.”

The defence of HK against 1 full and well co-ord attack from the south and then the ensuing madness when 3 armies meet in one corridor….with 3 ballista’s and more aoe than any rezzer can manager…..total fun…epic thermopylae like defence….down to 20 men standing IoJ at one point with more than that dead in the courtyard…no supplies and re-inforcements cut off to the south…….

By definition it began as 2 armies against 1 (no plan or sneakiness) then became 3 armies against each other….best pvp I have had to date.

Our very own Hot Gates.

Oh Stranger, tell the Lacedaemons, you who read;
Obedient to their orders, we lie here dead.

Really nice to see IoJ and Blackgate glitching.

Have to say, I am regretting to inform everyone that certain players from BG have been seen using an exploit to steal the orb.

Not meant to cause drama, but anyone who can should report these people, whether they are on your server or not. Play fair, or don’t play at all. I really hoped that the 2nd tier would not be subject to the constant hacker/exploiting issues other tiers seem to have. If we get these people banned now, in the future exploiters will think twice before they use their exploit, and we can cull the bad players from the herd, and improve our gaming experience.

So disappointed.

@yerffejy if your referring to the alter being destroyed that was due to lightning not someone glitching.

Crazy night of mayhem in Red (Blackgate) Border Lands! FYI, played and written from SBI perspective.

Nothing much happening early in the night except some trebs at BG Garrison aiming for DB and some supply camp swapping. Then the servers went down for the update. SBI rushed back rushed back online and attacked Garrison water gate. With little opposition, Zaff lead the charge to steal the orb. Half the zerg escorted the orb without incident to DB while the other half easily dispatched the remaining BG for control of the Garrison.

BG countered by placing a treb on the nearest wall aiming at NE Garrison. This treb was easily attackable from the ground, however, BG’s ground forces kept SBI at bay for good 30+mins. A field skirmish ensued with failed ground siege attempts by both sides yawing back and forth between CS and Garrison. Finally SBI dispatched the treb. It was around this time that everyone went invisible. Only commanders, pets, downed allies, and occasionally a target marker would show for an enemy. And then BG and IoJ attacked.

I don’t even remember exactly where the attack started on the garrison, but the NE gate and water gates were destroyed in a manner of minutes. BG golemed from the north, and IoJ from the south. SBI knew we were going to lose the keep. But, with our backs to the wall, we gathered what forces we had remaining and converged on the lords room. And then began the battle that I hope will only be remembered. IoJ, BG and SBI were all invisible. No one could see the other. Again, only commanders, pets, downed allies, and occasionally a target marker would show for an enemy. At least that was my experience. So 3 armies who were blind more or less, began to pummel each-other in the lords room, from the ring to, to the corners, to the scaffolding and catwalks. SBI was nearly wiped in a matter of minute. However, with IoJ and BG in the lords room, the keep could not find a new lord. SBI quickly scrambled back to the lords room. and then began to blindly defend the keep. Bringing supplies, and luck, SBI built arrow carts at the roofs top and bombarded the center ring. As an staff ele, my lighting attacks seemed to find the enemy the best. That and dropping aoe bombs to root out the enemy. I then began in one corner of the room and methodically searched for any hiding enemy, dispatched them and quickly revived any downed allies. The gates were repaired and broken down multiple times as all armies were respawning and returning to the battle. Since no one could see each other, there was no one to oppose their path to reinforce the lords room. Finally, after I thought was ages, SBI closed the north inner gate, and then the south gate pushing out all the defenders. In hindsight, the battle was surreal. It was as if I entered a new game where time had slowed down, and the enermy behaved very catiously and timid. If two opposing players found each other they would either stand still and see who could out dmg the other, or they would run in circles doing anything to escape being targeted. Such a unique battle. If only I would have recorded that one. Without the invisible glitch, SBI would have not been able to hold the lords room for sure. Kudos to SBI and whoever was in that amazingly awkward battle.

Yet, the night was not over. As I was gathering supply for the garrison, word was that someone was attacking NW DB gate. Being close by, I scouted the gate and quickly discovered BG had built up 4 rams and had the gate to 80% already. A quick response from SBI barely saved DB and the newly acquired orb from being swarmed. I believe SBI WP’d in or ran from garrison and zerg repaired the gate from 10% to 50%.

After surviving an invisible 3-way lords room attack, and narrowly escaping a catastrophic DB attack, SBI looked up to the map and found little green real estate left. IoJ and BG had taken everything SBI except DB and the garrison. And now the garrison was again under attack by BG.

SBI abandoned the garrison and retook GB and then GV from IoJ, with all armies still invisible. Soon, AH and VL fell to the hand of SBI back to essentially a map reset prior to when the servers were updated.

The last thing to report, 1-2 BG players somehow got into the the lords room of DB and took the orb, and broke SBI’s altar. Suspicious of cheating were discussed, but someone said the quaggans reset the orb or maybe lightning? Who knows? Doesn’t really matter imo. Another epic night from GW2. Thanks ANET + SBI + BG + IoJ.

IoJ just glitched one of our orbs >.> when they gonna fix all those glitches.

@yerffejy if your referring to the alter being destroyed that was due to lightning not someone glitching.

Oh it had nothing to do with the 4+ players in our Lord room who glitched through 2 series of walls in order to get there, and happened to have the orb before someone from SBI killed them?

Show me a screenshot, then i will believe you. Coming on the forums and accusing without a screenshot is garbage. I was in the zone when it FELL to the ground, everyone was like what the… right away we knew it was lightning. (It has happened to us in the past).

BG frowns heavily on hackers, glitches but… if you do have a screenshot, please post it so we can rid them from our server. Assuming they are in a guild.

Lies. They were straight up exploited.

Screenshot’s not that incriminating, just shows the guild tag. I’d rather not throw up the other SS’s with names or the recording with their names so as to let ANet do the banning.

BG (LGN) Exploited into DFB twice and failed to take keep lord. IoJ exploited in twice, and finally got it on the second try. Same thing happened yesterday multiple times, I frapsed one BG attempt and one IoJ attempt.

Hiding a mesmer is a legit attempt and we have no problem with that, BG hid a mesmer inside Shad and attempted to ninja the keep lord which is a legit move imo.

It’s just annoying that people are taking the orb/resetting it by logging out, or taking the keep with 5 people without killing anything.

Obviously it’s not the whole server, but we make it a point to emphasize to our players NOT to use it. Hopefully others are

I was not trying to inflame anyone at BG. They just happened to be from BG. So i thought I would say that it happened, and that everyone should report these people right away when they see them doing this.

Not meaning to accuse anyone. I purposefully left out their guild (although named above) so as to not call anyone out. I understand 99% of the player base don’t support this, and I just wanted to urge everyone to report as fast as possible, and stop these people from ruining the game.

Update:

SBI 106,248 (570)
IoJ 66,235 (105)
BG 62,787 (20)

Wow that’s an azzkicking right there. BG got punished badly for their little exploit.

I didn’t exploit. The server didn’t exploit. Good job SBI night/day crew. I’m still trying to figure out why both IoJ and SBI continued to assault a heavily defended supply depot on IOJ borderlands taking turned assaulting the BG depot for 3 hours before capturing it to wipe us off the map. If the goal is to demoralize BG I suppose it probably worked, I don’t care but I doubt many will log W3 now.

Played a solid 5 hour block in the IoJ borderlands (nothing personal, just where I randomly queued). Coming from an SBI perspective. Awesome battles, good fun was had by all. It was fun seeing our zerg, vs BG zerg, vs IoJ. Couple times there felt like AH might fall (nicely done IoJ).

And sadly, exploiting and hacking will happen regardless of the tier. Hell, even Henge in the opening few matches (post launch) exploited. If tier 1 can exploit, any tier can. Please do not blame an entire server for the inappropriate actions of the few. Let us keep this fight honest and fun for everyone.

The goal was not to demoralize BG. People must understand that in PvP, it is often the path of least resistance (or most in tier 1) that servers choose to pursue. Sometimes its SBI, sometimes its BG. It just depends on the crew online at that moment, and the siege and/or ability to defend against incoming zergs.

Lets keep things clean and above the belt. Have fun!

I recall players named Tripp.9862 and Monsoon.2589 bragging about “ninjaing an orb”. word for word. probably your culprits
