Guild Wars 2

Well considering the low probability of BG being dropped to T2 it seems like fate (or anet) stepped in and gave a jolt of juice to T1 and T2 matchups. Instead of FA coming in and groaning that the endless YB horde will be this weeks opponent again we get BG. There is a buzz in FA right now. No matter how it goes this should be fun. To test your skills against a T1 team. It should go well after BG sees T2 isn’t a cake walk.

Just fought BG in the keep and they didn’t get it. SOS opens up the match taking the BG keep. SM has been flipped so far. Just the BLs are getting hammered but there is a queu so not sure but its better than losing by 250k and a dead matchup before it starts.

Well, seeing the current scores in T1 and T2, I’d say the more things change, the more they stay the same.

How is that? YB was not doing bad on T1 and when I came in and TC was leading. Plus TC was hammering their BL which is what they did to FA for months. TC not being double teamed and JQ finally not having to pull punches and be able to take any tower or keep they want will be interesting. Keeping scores close must have been tough to handle. YB wants to show its a big dog and T1 snobs want to show the game T1 is rarified air so let the leash is off for all 6 servers now.

FA and SOS Bls were nasty but at least FABL had a Queue. Nice to see. In EB it was nice to see BG lose their keep almost immediately and get run out of FAs keep. There was a lot of juice tonight in FA when reset happened and we didn’s see YB as I’m sure there was for SOS. Now the OCX will have its say too and word is out that there has been a change so we will see who shows up. Either way, playing another team in T1 and T2 is only good for the game.

The fights are far better then against YB, thats for sure. We’ll see how it goes during the week, but reset was a lot of fun.

BG groups seem to at least try to go reasonable size guild vs reasonable size guild, YB was just any guild lose to 20+ then call in map blob. Each and every single time.

Also, where YB just over sieged everything to stupid proportions and in often stupid ways, BG seems to use fewer pieces of siege, but in much smarter and effective ways.

There is an immediately noticable difference in overall quality between the 2.

You are so right. There is a big difference. BG has intelligence for sure. They are doing that right now going for PPT over condi blob. They keep camps flipped in all BLs. They concentrate on the keeps and southern portion of the BL maps. They have a sustainable group in EB so they keep their corner and anything else is gravy. They flip the easy stuff like Anz and Mendons, Durios and QL plus EBs camps as much as they can. They don’t seem to hit hard but they just keep collecting PPT. Smart server.

And right again, they don’t call in the entire server for 10 people capping a node outside of Mendons. Plus they don’t have scouts tethered to portals and glued to guards when they scout if they leave any at all. Very surgical and cerebral. Refreshing.

We will have a good time this week.

Dare say you, Jay, that BG is playing WvW as Anet intended?

I daresay lol Hey this is how we played on IOJ. We were outnumbered a lot and had to be smart. We did this exact thing which is what moved us up the ranks to 6th until we kept getting crushed by FA and YB . We would hit smc with small groups at three points, we back capped fast. We concentrated on an area keeping more and more of the bad guys coming at us until we had enough and realized they would camp there. Guerilla tactics.

I had no fun playing YB with all those dang condi blobs and call outs even if you were a roamer looking to get to the jumping puzzles lol

I’m from bg and depending if this week happens to be a push week will determine how much fun you have this week or the weeks to come. Nice to have new opponents just dont think you guys can handle the coverage but please come out and fight BG is the one tier 1 server that actively searches for fights

Bg does not seige like yb/jq we rather fight zvz when defending rather than siege bunker or fight near our arrow carts haha

Too bad for BG that most of the fight guilds left T2 so you’re left going against groups that haven’t the organization that would make it a challenge for you.

I don’t thing YB will be able to stay in T1 when BG, TC and BG are match fixing to keep T1 locked with the same matchup. If YB wants to establish in T1 they will need to infiltrate guilds on the other 2 servers to turn the 2v1 into other server.

By sieging differently, you must mean open field trebs and ballista? This inept to falsly present it as if BG is any better or worse is absurd.

I can say this is garbage. I am on TC and we would not do that with JQ or BG any more. BG and JQ fixing matches – you bet. The reason I say this was this last Thursday night, on TCBL, there were 2 – 40 man blobs (one BG and one JQ). JQ would open the walls of a keep de-siege and back off when BG would rush right in and try to cap. The 2 zergs were side by side fighting against TC and would never fight each other.

Well, don’t try the garbage that BG and JQ do, dorito watch.

YB just needs to learn to fight with the big boys.

BTW, TC is the smallest T1 server (as far as population doing WvW). We usually have guild groups going around not mindless zergs. If YB wants to stay up in T1, they need to play smart, not cheat (like JQ and BG do). That earns respect not disdain (JQ deserves all the disdain they get right now).

BG would at least fight, JQ runs like little girls unless they are 5 v 1 or can 2 team you with another server.

Now [KILL] needs to change their name…..

Win ppt is not about skill or strategy. It is mainly defined by numbers and coverage and organizing 2v1 with the other server. If YB wants to stay in T1 they will have to make the matchfixing work for them or else they will drop. Of course it does not involve all bg-tc-jq guilds all the time, but it sure happens. It is not hard to get a bunch of commanders from the 3 servers on the same TS and organize what each one is gonna do to manipulate ranting and thus reduce the risk of any of the 3 dropping.

First – please understand TC DOES NOT MATCH FIX. BG did try by actually financing the move of guilds from BG to YB, this is a fact. JQ also did this. Both JQ and BG have stated, on other forums and their own, that their match fixing was to force TC to T2 and YB to come up to T1. It backfired on them.

If you were on TC, last Thursday night and saw BG and JQ working together each with a 40 man blob on TCBL, trying to take TC gari on and other points, you would have seen match-fixing. BG and JQ never really fought each other, instead both focusing on hitting TC. One would open, say Bay come in de-siege and leave, allowing the other server to come in and cap. They would pass each other w/o fighting. That is match-fixing.

You got it wrong. The guilds that moved actually WANTED BG to drop. I’ve seen screenshots of forum posts that confirm this. The leader of the guilds that moved to YB was a former bigshot in BG who got forced out of the server, and with no other server to turn to, had to try and push YB up.

TC was the second choice only because of the way things were shaping up.

YB needs to work on their builds. TC is doing the normal pirate ship GWEN and YB getting one pushed over and over. I mean thanks for the bags and enjoy your stay but you have some work to do. I am sure JQ is noticing the same
