Guild Wars 2

Dear Fuzz,

You hiding out on Piken?

Did SoR get a recent batch of transfers, or did they simply eat their Wheaties this week?

I don’t think SoR logged off yet. Hence why the forum is so .. civilized.

Indo and Pryan will be running a singing commander night on Tuesday. Please send your song choices to Indo (Indo.8629) and Pryan(Nakoor.1980) in game mail. High votes will be sung by Indo and Pryan themselves.

Hello Burl,

From what I hear its mostly FFxiv. There are tonnes of JQ and SOR folks on it as well. All 3 servers are feeling the effect.

But even though BG has lesser numbers, they were still at a formidable 150-200PPT last night in Asian SEA with WM, CA, MEOW rocking the BLs.

Also, the new JQ SEA 15man+ [FB] (ATM elites) crew is shaping up nicely. Was great to see them for myself. JQ SEA is still pushing hard at 300PPT+ with GE, GGYY, ATM. SOR SEA numbers are still 1.5.-1.9 maps full.

Also, SOR got some feedback about why we are lacking transfers vs BG and JQ, seems that potential transfers are looking at the win:loss ratio. SOR has more loss than wins, partly why JQ SEA is up in numbers with JQ having the highest win/loss ratio.

Haven’t seen the same numbers from MERC lately. Burned out from carrying the server?

They got BP and MMAD from Dragonbrand, though both guilds are small and wouldn’t affect the score much.

most of BP are playing FF from what ive heard

Last night’s havoc squads in WvW were a blast! Thanks PD and TW for running those small groups one in a while last night in SoR BL, it was fun!

Ravan. Please forward me the bill for the 14 omega golems and 5 alphas that your night shift SF guild destroyed in our bay. They didn’t get to use them as well as they had hoped so we will return your money on them as they were probably defective golems.

If your paying for bills can you pay for my car insurance? Thanks ahead of time.

Wrong guild, but we will accept the cash anyway!

OH no. Most certain it was Strike Force that poured thru the gates 14 seconds exactly after the initial call out of Golem Bomb south bay! very fast work, you were on inner before i could reach inner from the nw gates. Then a mighty warrior named Purp Nurp and crew sounded the train whistle and all was lost.

Anyone know what happened to BT? Haven’t seen them in force in a long time.

there playing FF

Doomdesire.9365:

I heard they quit. Not 100% sure though.

When do you guys think WvW is going to get an update that makes it worth playing it over PvE in which mindless zergs in PvE can make hundreds of gold easily?

but then they’d just mindless zerg WvW? or, they’d take up all the spots of your usual WvW-ers?

not saying it’s a bad thing, but there’s a delicate balance to be had i feel. and of course, you can always entice people to fall in love with actual WvW, once they’re in.

Raven Paradox.1860:

When do you guys think WvW is going to get an update that makes it worth playing it over PvE in which mindless zergs in PvE can make hundreds of gold easily?

Don’t you remember what happened near launch where PvE’ers would escort dolyaks and inflate map queues? That was the major reason why my guild near launch swapped from NSP to ET (this was before I was in MERC for clarification). If any exploit that was discovered to give us a butt-load of money would sure improve pop counts in WvW but they would only be there to make money for themselves and not help thier server. If you have a mindless zerg in WvW you are doing it wrong

[TW] looking for gvgs whether it be on record or just practice. Send me a tell in-game if you and your guild would like to come out. www.gw2gvg.com

PvE, wtfrak is that? Is that where those who cannot cut it in WvW go to play or something? /s

So now that the weekend is over it’s clear this week is going to be the following in NA prime:

- SoR capping out every map with it’s organized zergs
- JQ capping out JQBL and EB with PUGS, maybe BGBL will flirt with a queue but will mostly be small guild groups and PuGs
- BG tapping out completely and not bothering to show

Most boring T1 week in ages. Either JQ needs to get kicked down to T2 for another week or two or BG needs to get kicked for TC.

Nah. I havent been playing GW2 the last 5 days because i have a

Well to be fair we ran 25-30 for most of the night, and we werent too afraid to clash with your 60 man zergball. We did have a nice wipe on you guys at south east camp and twice when you decided youd be ballsy and head into hills xD

^25-30 pfft…. I think “Culling Vision” is going to become this generations major medical issue.

Was a really tough night of calling all round to pull a fullcap on JQB. Good fights and cheers all round.

Why not kick SoR down to T2 instead? :P

You mean the past month of the 1v2 wasn’t you guys trying to take us down to “T2”?

I guess you just love us that much, cause there is no such place.

We love you too though.

<3

I feel sad for t2. It is one of the most unbalanced NA matchups

Seigfried.5938:

I feel sad for t2. It is one of the most unbalanced NA matchups

Yup. Not once since this new matchup system has all three T2 servers been in the same match. So TC wins by default due to the lack of a 3rd competitive server.

Everyone is secretly wishing that FA or DB gets some transfers. Any meaningful transfer can only come from T1 though.

Nakoor.1980:

May the best man win (Not Indo).

is Indo a man? o_O. kittening hell parver dont let me scare like that!

While we may complain about this matchup being stagnant as hell, it is the most competitive WvW that we’re likely to get in its current stage. Think of map politics this way (presuming everyone plays for first);

JQ: Strong SEA/Mod NA/Weak EU/Weak OC (1 strong, one mod and 2 weak)
BG: Mod SEA/Mod NA/Mod EU/Mod OC (4 moderately pop’ed)
SoR: Mod SEA/Strong NA/Strong EU/Mod OC (2 strong, 2 moderate)

SEA: JQ comes out ahead, SoR and BG fight over ppt and is often a stalemate (JQ++)
NA: SoR comes out ahead, JQ and BG fight over ppt and is often a stalemate (SoR+)
EU: SoR comes out ahead, BG leeches JQ points (SoR++; JQ-, BG +)
OC: SoR and BG come out ahead, and both leech JQ points (JQ-; BG/SoR +)

On paper SoR should always win via coverage, BG coming in second and JQ last – why is this never the case, well its to do with server politics. Its in JQs best interest to buddy up with either side because in that way JQ has less points that are leeched off by either BG or SoR (in oceanic for BG, EU/NA for SoR) – they have used this strat ever since the ET/HoD days where JQ would double team ET so that JQ would get a guaranteed 1st or 2nd place.

In a three way there is always a server that in reality is stronger than coverage than JQ but you have to give them credit, they are good at the politics game. Also it doesn’t hurt that BG and SoR generally don’t play nice to turn the tables back on JQ.

I’d disagree with both BG SEA and SoR SEA both being classified as moderate. Although SoR SEA are still great gents, as of late, especially since AFS no longer plays, SoR SEA’s numbers are lacking. The TC-DB/BG/SoR matchup showed a pretty substantial difference in SEA coverage. At the very minimum I would classify BG SEA as moderately strong(inbetween strong and moderate). Also BG’s NA is alot stronger than JQ’s, IMO. Simply having 3 classifications isn’t accurate enough. Also not all timezones last the same duration. Then you’d have to guage how strong is moderate. Being able to hold your shard(~220PPT) during your weak zone is different than ticking at 100 during your weak zone. It isn’t as simple as, say, Strong EU/NA cancel out Strong OCX/SEA. It’s much more complicated than that.

These are my opinions. Take them with a grain of salt, or w/e you please.

Well, at what point do you tell your commander to shut up while drinking? Is it when he starts telling a guy that was racist in his jokes in public comms that he can’t tell racist jokes because the Jed has a bigger kitten and can get away with it? Or, is it when your commander starts telling the team we are going in balls deep with freedom b@ners popped? Or is it the comparison of how tight we are keeping it with a relation of a virgin bu77hole compared to a prison bu77hole?

These events may or may not have happened within the past two weeks…

It was great seeing TW/TWL, WARDACO, GSCH, and friends group up for BGBL last night! We had some great fights, keep it up guys!
