Guild Wars 2

Starting a new thread since the last one was closed by a moderator.

Lets keep it clean, no flaming or trolling. We are Tier 1 folks, lets stay classy.

Current scores:

what a great start to a T1 match. Here is a score update before i logged

GL all!

SBI is looking pretty scary now that they got the 3rd orb as a freebie!

I’m curious as to how/when that mesmer snuck into Bay on SBI map
Nothing like a mesmer out of nowhere to make a borderland full of people crap their pants.

edit battle report for SBI map @ 3am:
A large JQ force went past redbriar and up to the keep, then swung up north after they met resistance. Shortly after, they were portal’ed into Bay by a mesmer onto the high ground at NW. Due to their large numbers, positioning, and quickly massed siege, IOJ had serious difficulty dislodging them & JQ began sieging inner Bay with 3x treb, at least some of them superior. Despite the 700/1300 supply reserves, the trebs rapidly burned down the inner wall.

SBI meanwhile capitalized on this engagement by pushing Hills (containing an orb) hitting the inner gate/Lord’s room around the same time JQ downed the inner wall was preparing to push into inner Bay.
JQ ended up getting pushed out of Bay and simultaneously losing Hills; my speculation is that half their army waypointed out and they fell short on both sides of the map.

No flames please we don’t want this thread closed too

Brilliant first 10 hours of battle. The scores couldnt be much closer, will be interesting to see how the scores end up after Asia prime time. I believe SB and JQQ have a solid community at this time whilst IoJ only has a medium pop. Will see….

I would say considering last week’s mass-transfer to call us JQueue not JQQ, but, (and I can’t speak for every map) Blue Borderlands has been instant Queue all night and we are clearly outmanned on both fronts. Those left are putting up as good of a fight as can be expected but we’ve been 1:3 everywhere we go, large force or small scouting parties. IOJ pushing our spawn from the west, SBI pushing our spawn from the east, avoiding one another at least in the entire south part of the map. Which makes sense I guess, IOJ would get wiped just as hard if they went up against 3 Orbed SBI now, might as well help them route us from behind any chance they get. If we don’t double our numbers by tomorrow night SBI will keep their Orbs and run away with this, and they won’t have anyone to fight all week ’til next reset.

Sorry I don’t have an update I just want to say that last night was the most fun I’ve had in WvW in like two weeks or more. I really don’t care that JQ is behind right now. I’d take being behind with good fights over owning the map any day of the week. I fought in some excellent open ground fights and some excellent tower assaults (failed three times in a row on our part, I’m embarrassed to say lol)

quick score update

Another score update. I took 2 screens, but used the second one because this random thief tried to gank me, but got owned and ran away. Also, if said thief is around i would love to 1v1 you again :).

Not that i enjoyed getting hammered in IoJ borderlands garrison by both JQ and SBI but man that was the most epic WvW battle i’ve had to date. Was 30 minutes of fighting in that lord room and on the upper walkways. Hats off to all teams so far in this fight it’s been a pleasure to be a part of it. Oh and War machine – quit portal bombing us – my GPU can’t handle it

welcome to tier 1. where the relaxing is made up and sleep doesn’t matter.

Much more fun than winning by 400,000 points.

update……………….

Cheers to all combatants in SBI, JQ and IoJ I’ll drink with you all any day!

Thank you for restoring my faith and showing what real WvWvW is all about

and on a sidenote, special shoutout to Janthir I am always amazed at how much we do WITHOUT orb buffs.. crazy!

Had some great fights in SBI BL against SBI (I’m IOJ) the bay attack was a good fight and fighting between WH and the bay over gods (lost count of how many times it flipped in an hour or so :P) it’s been totally enjoyable and a good close fight between all 3 teams. Just a shame I had to log to go to work but oh well. Keep the battles coming and good luck to everyone this week it’s been great.

As a member of JQ, can I just say how awesome this week’s match up is? I’d rather be third by so close that I can taste first place, and know that everyone has just as much chance of winning as we do, than to stomp each week, with no challenge at all.

If this is a sign of how the fight is going to go during the rest of the week, it’ll be a fun week indeed!

Keep it up JQ, SBI, and IOJ!

Stormbluff isle lots a lot of the pvp guilds, but at least the real pvper we are here still.

I wish i had a potion to pk all my server of carebears.

Anyway we do as much we can.

Latest score update.

Amazingly close!

Looks like the match will be determined by coverage starting on Monday.
Has been a great fight so far everyone!
I really enjoyed the SM fight in the early early morning where it was all 3 of us fighting in the lord room.

1º IOJ
2º SBI
3º JQ

cheers! I’ll share a drink with everyone who has participated in this absolute epic 3way war between SBI JQ and IoJ

No matter what the rest of the week holds, specially with the Halloween event coming up, I want to say Thank you

Yeah, that was some great battles going on. We were split between who was the greater thread, SBI or IoJ, and we had some great battles trying to take back and keep the towers. SBI did a great job on blue borderlands holding two fronts and holding their half of the map.

Both servers were quick to rally whenever we tried to make a move, and there was a lot of strategic deployment and tactics being used all over the map (orange X’s everywhere) and it felt very intense and exciting for once.

I’ll say even though we are behind I’d much rather have this kind of fights in WvW than fighting against ghosts/empty keeps.

Keep fighting!

I’m happy that we are proving as a world (IoJ) that we can come in as the underdogs and throw a fight of our own. I’ve learned lots, specially how in most Assaults on Keeps and Towers, its usually a Ranged group that hits the door to stay clear of meteor shower and siege engines.

I also enjoy the skills that push players away from Battering Rams or building them. That is pretty smart and nice.

I also enjoy the zergs on all three sides who decided to attack a target out of distraction even if they know they are actually throwing their lives away and increasing their repair costs….but do it hoping to force another world’s armies to divide up.

Good fights roughly 3AM est with both enemies beating on the keep.

I do remember at one point people ..“wtf where the orb go!”

Most fun I’ve had in WvW since it came out awesome grouping.

Agreed. I’m having a ton of fun this week.

Suuuuuuuuuup from Blackgate to our old buddies at SBI and IoJ — the last competitive matchup we’ve been in. Special props to IoJ for breaking out of Tier 2.

You all look like you’re in a tight fight. Fun for you. Bad for us. If no one in that matchup loses more ELO, we might get stuck with a third straight week of mismatch. But it’s early still.

http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#NA

It looks like the best grouping since GW2 started, and we’re stuck correcting HoD and ET’s leftover ELO. Oh well, we’ll see you all again sooner or later…

@ Destroyer: Ouch that matchup does not look fun. Maybe we’ll see you one of these weeks, or perhaps Sanctum of Rall and Sea of Sorrows jumps up and makes it a good one in tier 2.

We are having 3-way ground battles in EB. It’s so fun that I forgot the time.
I just noticed my local time is 4.30am now.
Score update before sleep.

Update please, I’m on my lunch break!

IoJ – 27287
SBI – 26767
JQ – 26237

SB BL: looks like JQ and IoJ are battling it out
IoJ BL: Looks evenly matched
JQ BL: Looks IoJ and SBI are battling with JQ holding Garrison
EB: Its been a back and forth battle between JQ and SBI with IoJ getting pinched in the middle.

Closest WvW matchup so far to date? Less than 1000 points differentiates between 1st or 3rd.

Also Blackgate is currently setting the record for the biggest stomping…server transfers, yippie!

This is crazy. Been fun all around today! This is what WvW was meant to be.

Good Night and have fun all

T1 match does not matter this week! SBI, JQ, and IOJ will all remain in T1 because Blackgate (ranked 6th) is destroying HoD and ET, but will only move up to the 4th ranked position.

Well it matters as far as who is going to win WvW this week and be the top server. But I guess beyond that it doesn’t matter.

no blackgate is ranked 5th and they are destroying 4th place server which is hod and hod is only like 30 behind ioj so actually if ioj loses and blackgate keeps destroyying its possible for them to move to thrid

/agree @Storm

It’s not just about who will be T1 next week it’s about the pride of the fight imo… Which has been fun and challenging so far all around!

Chewy.9263:

T1 match does not matter this week! SBI, JQ, and IOJ will all remain in T1 because Blackgate (ranked 6th) is destroying HoD and ET, but will only move up to the 4th ranked position.

This is how the point system works for those who think 1st/2nd/3rd is all that matters still:

1st does not always advance 1 spot into the next Tier up, 3rd does not always drop 1 spot to the next Tier down. Sorry for any misconceptions.

Anyone who slacks off in any Tier is losing more than 1 spot this week. Every point you don’t continue to fight for is not 1, but 2 points difference between you and the server that does fight for it: the potential point you didn’t gain (-1) and the point they did (+1).

Blackgate could easily land in 3rd with the massive potential points HoD/ET is giving up to them this week if any Tier 1 server gets left behind the other two. In fact if any current Tier 1 server ever shows weakness Blackgate will replace them and it will likely be permanent (new, lightweight HoD reclaiming it’s throne).

It’s always sink or swim, points count even if you are likely to end up 3rd in your matchup. Whoever stops swimming first, will sink the furthest. There be sharks in these waters hungry to move up.

It’s come up soo many times how much of a misconception placement is perceived as higher priority than the cumulative point value.

All 4 servers JQ, SBI, IoJ and Blackgate have played recently and all four are gaining a reputation for fighting to the end no matter what the scores are. So I expect good fights like this to come no matter who is in the top 3.

If SoS and one of the up and coming servers also fight like this Tier 2 could become just as good. Then it really won’t matter if you are in any of the top 6 spots because you know you will still have a good fight in the coming week’s play.

Only, time will tell????

But how is the score now for those of us who can’t get in?

update on score

Can this get any closer?

Great SBI alter was destroyed on IoJ BL.

Guys/Gals,

Please use a different thread for these exploit issues otherwise this will be the 2nd thread closed due to flaming. Please keep it to the points.

SBI – 37986 +220
JQ – 37814 +245
IoJ – 37561 +230

each with an orb.

Three of us have lived inside our comfy tower for so long…12 arrow carts, 2 ballistas, 2 trebs, 4 catapults, oil, cannon, mortar, fortified, reinforced. She’s my baby and I don’t want to ever let her go.

Anyways…

Sbi – 39,777
loJ – 39, 079
JQ – 39, 313

Still only 700 points seperates these superpowers.

Thank you and seconded, Toffin. I’m quite sure any of us who spend any decent amount of time in WvW have seen our share of what we at least perceive to be hacking or exploiting by players of any server against players of any opposing. Lone players I’d like to add, it’s even further inflammatory and pointless to level these accusations against an entire server of thousands.

If you feel you just have to let the forum community know please make a separate thread so that one can be locked and closed when the Mods check through the posts. The one and only thing accomplished by these accusations in the threads we use to follow the battle and stay updated is to have them locked and tossed away. If you have any intent on any potential action taken against the accused please direct them to the proper channels. As useless or not as you may consider the reporting mechanic I can at least promise you nothing will result from posting in our battle update threads aside from shutting that thread down pointlessly.

And to the point of this thread, below is a screenshot of the scoreboard as of about midnight server time roughly. Unfortunately I’m unable to also post the map as I just crashed a second time (and getting back in after the first crash around 20:00 server took me about 1.5 hours so I think I may be done for the evening). The battle score’s margin narrows further as the Oceanic and late night players take the field with a point spread of only a few hundred. At one point the spread was down to only about 300 between 1st and 3rd. Barely a couple days in and I’m out of finger nails already!
