We have sports in real life that poach players all the time, its accepted practice, to the highest bidder goes the spoils.
But in sports (at least in US sports leagues) this is generally regulated by salary caps — preventing teams from dominating just by having deeper pockets.
Well also about this in sports you have in a sense a never ending amount of people to sign. This game doesn’t really apply to that theory, sure we get and x amount daily into the game. Though we can’t just sign this and that person right over. Sure it is just for winning, but it is quite sad that no one wants to stays in BG lol they just want their money and to go back to where they came from.
Today only we are currently have a buy one guild and get one free deal. THAT IS RIGHT BLACKGATE YOU CAN SAVE SOME GOLD TODAY. You guys are probably thinking man I wish this deal was going on when you bought ZBS, ZN, and Zero! Don’t forget this deal is only for today. That way you guys don’t run out of gold before the end of the season. This deal will also be one time only, so save what you can now! By season 2 you might need to farm that CoF again to buy more guilds.
I don’t think the matchups are the problem- the bandwagon servers (t1) are always going to have more people.
The problem to me still all comes down to game mechanics that promote and reward mindless zerging over skill.
Obvious things that should be tried:
- increase AOE cap, from say 5 to 8-10
- divide objective rewards by number of participants
- buff outmanned bonus, scale it better
UM how is SoR a banwagoning server?
Well it with the whole new match ups. Long time no see BG and JQ
Just out of curiosity, would anyone’s server care to confirm how many guilds they are getting and what TZ?
We know JQ is getting PYRO (400 players, 15-20 Euro, 60-70 NA). We’ve heard they are also picking up another 40 man NA.
We’ve heard BG is picking up 2 Euro and 2 NA.Anyone’s rep care to comment though? Give us all something to look forward to. Also, if we are transparent in our movements, maybe we can balance the tier by ourselves moving forward and not have a ridiculous overstacked server again.
How much you think BG is going to paying them? You think they’ll need more time to farm the gold cough buy to get these guilds?
For Football fans
JQ = Manchester United
SoR = Manchester City
BG = LiverpoolI would liken JQ to Milan, BG to Interkittenonale and SOR to Juventus. T2 would be the triumvirate of Lazio Roma and Napoli.
Last I checked Italian football unimportant…
Last i checked only Real Madrid ( 9 ) has won more than Milan ( 7) … Serie A>BPL
Last I checked RM isn’t in any of those leagues but in La Liga… Also your comparison with the servers with any football club lacks support. Inter isn’t even a CL team yet they are top tier? At least compare them to their league standings. ALSO last I checked your league is at the bottom compared to Spain, England, and Germany. So let’s keep this in the EPL where the real players come from and stay quiet about a topics we know so little about.

SoR – San Antonio Spurs
BG – LakersOne keeps cool and plays well. The other is full of bandwagoners that don’t know anything about the game.

I’ve think you clearly mistaken this… BG should be City. Surely they paid to get where they are at. JQ you shall be Liverpool as your dynasty is over. Surely you were at the top and now you find yourself struggling to remain at the top. Then at last… SoR the UNITED of NA… as a famous rapper once said started from the bottom now we here.
Plus, SoR ticking this high during NA prime is nothing new. It’s business as usual.
Yeah the big difference so far has been SoR ticking strongly in EU as well as NA.
Makes it even better that we didn’t have to bribe anyone to do it either :P
Just curious, how large is JQ, BG and SoR’s SEA crew in terms of how many guilds and the numbers they bring etc?
Hard to say. I have been playing during Oceanic, SEA and Euro timezones lately. JQ probably has the least number of players during sea. SOR seems to have the biggest and BG right behind them. But its hard to say, seems SOR tend to stack everyone into one map attack and then switch maps so its hard to get a guage on how many there actually are. To give an example of this, we hit Bay tonight as they had outmanned buff. 1 minute later we have 100 players charging in to defend. We bail and a few minutes later they have outmanned buff again. JQ players tend to get into one map and stay there for their entire game time. BG seem to spend a few hours in one map and then move along. BG also seem to have some Oceanics that are playing during sea timezone as well. Thats what I am seeing atm anyways.
PRO TIP: You gain PPT by defending all of your keeps and taking others.
Actually, thats not pro, just common knowledge.
sarcasm isn’t strong with this one.

I used to call SoR home. I have moved on, but I still had respect for the guild involved in this incident. But interrupting a clearly pre-organised group activity between the other two servers intentionally, for their own entertainment, ruining everybody’s good day? I’m not so sure about that guild’s reputation anymore. I love talking to their members and they are a formidable WvW force. I love fighting them in WvW. But this action is really beyond my understanding.
I know that one individual does not represent the SoR WvW community. But because nobody responsible for this is stepping up to say whether they loved the bags or apologising for their selfish actions, we are left here to judge you by ‘that guy’.
GvG is fun, and many people enjoy doing it, and it’s becoming more and more of a trend in higher tiers nowadays. All the major WvW guilds in T1 knows about the location where this happens, and I am 100% sure that the guild involved in this knew this as well. This is absolutely embarrassing for them and their allies, and I am very, very sure that many other guilds on SoR are not happy about this.
my0.02.
Actually this was not planned to be ruined. No one but the two guilds involved knew about the guild war outside of their servers. We ran into them while walking around.
Yea, you conveniently walked into them south of south camp where there is nothing of WvW point value. Okay.
Still on about this? Forgot there are places we aren’t allowed to walk through in WvW…
Where is this SF guild at? I thought u guys were going to wipe us?
Regarding the interruption of the GvG thing:
Bad form: An offense against current social convention
For those that would argue that current mechanics allow it is not a valid argument against it being bad form. That is equivalent to saying something that is not illegal must be ethical.In your opinion.
GvG is open game as far as I’m concerned. Out of courtesy to my own server I may or may not attack one that involved them, but you can bet your life that I will lead an attack on a SoR vs JQ one.
Why let them improve their tactics? Its only going to hurt us later.
Man up kids, walk into a PVP zone, expect to die.
YES SOME1 with like-minded ideas
I like the part where you completely ignore the moral of the story and continue on with your kitten
Just because something isn’t in the rules, doesn’t mean it is the right thing to do.
RIGHT THING TO DO? YOU ARE IN WvW correct? WHAT DO U DO? YOU FIGHT THE OTHER SERVERS. There is a reason why names are red… BECAUSE THEY ARE YOUR ENEMY!… If ANet intended for you not to kill them then they wouldn’t make your oppositions name red. I don’t get what you guys are getting at here. You guys set up a place to fight an unofficial place an “unwritten rule” and expect people not to go there to kill you guys. No place is off limits. Players can be anywhere at any time. If you saw 40 red names in front of you, you aren’t going to go see what they are doing… you are going go there and prepare to fight.
Calm the kitten down kiddo. You’re embarrassing your server. That being said, if you are that adamant about not following a general code of conduct that we in the guild wars community abide by, maybe this game isn’t for you. I hear there are certain games in the genre of FPS that caters to your demographic.
Edited for spelling
Maybe it isn’t but I’m here anyways playing the game the way it is intended. I’m not embarrassing anyone. No code of conduct anywhere states no one can interrupt a GvG going on. So when you are done trying to play mommy, how about actually playing WvW the way it is intended and give us more loot bags?
To be fair, the degree of self-righteous indignation you’re displaying over being called for what many consider an act of bad sportsmanship could easily be seen my many associated with you by server as embarrassing indeed. You forget the example set in World War II in Germany. On Christmas day, troops from both sides laid down arms, came together and celebrated Christmas together on the field of battle. There were no “written rules”, they just did what was the right thing to do.
No special holiday, or event in game to me… so is there need for special rules for no reason? NAH BRAH

Regarding the GvG thing , you all know this is “OPEN” world v.s world were “ALL” servers kill each other right .. now dont get me wrong i love the occasional duel on 1v1 or 5 v5 that iconic guild douse with other bg jq guilds but whekittenerg rushes in and kills us i dont get kitten y…. do you know why? Because its OPEN PVP! you have to expected to get steamrolled sooner or later and to be honost you all shouldnt be btching about it in the forums becuase wvw was desighned for players to kill each ….telling us we cant interfere in server fights is like telling me not to build my golems or a bird not to fly . I don’y know man but thats my two cents well im out see you on the battlefield with omegas
Lol… us old school DAoC players used to have a standard response to anyone QQ’ing on the VN boards, “Sounds like someone died in a (PvP) zone.” Fear rolled your GvG? Wo/Man up and don’t cry about it, folks!
I forgot that we were playing DAoC…. can you redirect me to the GW2 forums because I thought this was.
Oh crap, wrong thread sorry guys
all good man
HMM any examples because we all respect one another here. Disrespect for our opponents like by talking trash? That’s called being competitive buddy…
What group home did you grow up in where the definition of competitive is to talk trash totally unprovoked?
So you have to be trashed first to start trash talking? NAH BRAH! I’m asking you for proof or examples of this unprovoked trash talk. Because when I came on here I see other servers, guilds, and individuals “trash talking” people of FEAR for them just playing the game. As for your facts about what SoR is really about I can say they are pretty invalid. Apparently a lot of us are 16 year olds that talk down on one another and our opponents… Now to answer your question my group home. That is a great question! Obviously it wasn’t the one that are just talked nice to each other and gave in to everyone’s wishes into wanting to play nicely.
Alright then so why complain about getting destroyed while people are playing the game the way it was intended rather than by the way others try to make it? Might I suggest a better place to do your mini events? To not only cry about it but to call another guild who was out killing people from the other server has made this nothing but a simple joke. FEAR did not preemptively plan on attacking. They just saw a bunch of red names and killed them.
I am not in AGG or SF. I do not GvG or duel, I was simply correcting your misconception(s).
I wasn’t in the group that wiped the people setting up this GvG… Just stating that what they did was just them playing the game.
Score update good work everybody
wrong thread
I live by the same rules; if it’s red, it’s dead. However, I also play to help my server and not be a total bookah (lols). And if we’re really playing for cool/style points, I’m wayyy ahead. =3
People used to ask me why I wouldn’t join a dedicated PvP guild while I was on SoR, and I always had to tell them that it was because of the blatant disrespect their members always showed for each other and for their opponents. It’s just more satisfying to stomp people like that than it is to stomp people who have some degree of sportsmanship.
Plus a lot of them sounded like 16 year olds in VOIP…wasn’t really into that.
hmmm “a lot of them sounded like 16 year olds in VOIP”… really? What VOIP were you in? Perhaps in an underage guild. Now there is no need to drag this outside and making assumptions now. Now the disrespect we shown one another? HMM any examples because we all respect one another here. Disrespect for our opponents like by talking trash? That’s called being competitive buddy… Sportsmanship… hmmmm sooo are you implying if people do not attack you in WvW you shouldn’t attack them back? just run by a group of 20+ people?
bad form FEAR zerging a casual gvg with their full map 60 person zerg…..
south of south camp is pretty much a guarantee spot for gvg. and your FEAR scout told you it was 15 SF vs 15 Agg? so you could come and roll us with 60? lol so sad hahahaha you must have been bored to interrupt a gvg like that. pathetic.
I forgot that ANET made that spot in WvW especially for GvG… Our fault
Here, let’s cut the crap before this goes like 10 pages longer. SF and Agg were testing new builds in GvG format against each other. We had done a GvG in the past vs each other and wanted to explore new builds in a smaller team format and get some field movements down. Consider it our version of workshops, only real time, both guilds are looking at different ways we view classes and builds and would like to have that self improvement. There were 15 members of SF and Agg, both our servers had an insta queue. Even when we first entered there was an outmanned buff. That being said, just even being AFK helps the map out if anything at that point to keep the buff off.
I realize that it is an open field and anyone can attack anyone, but in all the games I have played there’s always been “manners.” Anyone remember what those are in video games? The point that is being driven, is just show some integrity. As for not inviting others, SF and Agg have somehow grown close with our team leads in trolling the hell out of each other during game play. I don’t recommend this to all commanders or for the weak at heart. It’s just the FPS player coming out is all.. We were only looking to up each others games and stay competitive and quite possibly ahead of the curve.
As for PRX and SF always forming a “super zerg,” that’s a great idea, I’ll stay in contact with their GM and get this going as often as we apparently do according to that poster on this forum. I’m sure if this were for real all the time we’d see more crying.
As for the practice score Agg scored one on us I now have video evidence of SF not knowing what to do with a new build and strat setup! Thanks Jerico for tryin’ to get something going with our lil’ cross server event. Overall score now SF 3 Agg 1.
So this manners do they apply to people doing map completion ro jumping puzzles too?
Nope only on their terms do manners apply
Well that’s half of that post solved
Is it me or does the end boss of SE path 1 mesmer end boss does not drop loot any more? I remember that before the big update that the end boss in path 1 would drop 16s bag of wondrous goods and a loot item. Now it doesnt drop anything. Also at the end of path 3 the destroyer boss does not drop much except like 5s and a piece of equipment. In that dungeon there is only two bosses that drop the bag of wondrous goods and silver. So perhaps either the general or the husk should be fixed to drop something yes?
Can you only do 1 tier a week as far as gaining merits? Like my guild got 15 yesterday and we did another tier 1 and did not gain merits. We did complete the mission within the given 15 mins, but yeah no merits.
hmm good thing Blackgate put up a good fight last week in t1
Maybe ANet needs to think of incentives to “convince” skippers to not skip. That, or “force” everyone to fight specific mob groups within per-established areas of the dungeons, and only open the next path when the group(s) are dead.
They did they made kholer/other bosslike mobs drop 10s lol. IDK what more incentive they can add. They can add some other mobs to these extra silvers and bags of wonderous goods.
If you do not want to skip then tell your party that before the dungeon. Either way it’s sooooo much faster to skip and get your money n tokens.
Anet can somewhat help this though. I mean sure some people are playing the market, but to have none or very few on the market… Idk something has to be done on their part. I have the money and been putting in the work. Hopefully I get a response from ANet. They said we were going to give us a scavenger hunt to get more precursors. No word since they told us soooo IDK!
(edited by BakaOniiChan.9564)
This thread isn’t here to beg for another Karka event, or something to freely give me my precursor. Here is my story in short I am going for the Incinerator. I farmed all items and gold to get everything necessary for my legendary. All that there is left is to buy my T6 mats and my precursor. As we all know the Incinerator requires Spark. Spark has been steadily increasing at 100g a week for the past two weeks. Finally it came to a hault at 400g simply because THERE IS NO MORE IN THE MARKET. Surely something has to be done on A-net’s part about this. I’ve forged hundreds of rares and hundreds of exotics with little success of getting any precursor. I’ve killed countless dragons with no luck for myself, nor for anyone else killing dragons. So, when these options proved to be pointless, I find myself trying to buy something that isn’t out in the market. I’m not asking for Spark to be given out, but at least available get somehow. Same goes for most of the other precursors. There are only 2 Legends out there, and 5 Dusk for ridiculous amounts. That only goes to show there isn’t enough out there and more should be put in. Like higher drop rates, higher forge rates, or other means of obtaining a precursor. That’s why a Karka event in my opinion was necessary. Now we are worst before we had that event. YOUR MOVE ANET!

That number 2 post is like soo important. I mean I dont know how many times someone doesnt speak up and the run takes twice as long. It just ends up resulting in a kick. SO JUST ADMIT YOU ARE NEW, then people could explain. If they dont want you then no time i wasted, and you look for a new party
Contacted you guys!
I am looking for a new NA guild. I have posted before but a few friends choose to discontinue playing this game. So, I need a new guild. I am 22 and play this game roughly 7+ hours daily. I love PvE, so I’m looking for active guild that has groups running dungeons (Dungeons, nodes, finishing maps) and WvW. I do have mic and love to talk, so pleaseeeeee have a voice server of some sort. Ido have a fun personality and like having people around have a good time. I am looking for a fairly large guild for two main reasons I want to be able to talk to people regularly in game/voip, and run dungeons with a lot of people
What to expect from me:
Lots of guild influence coming in (I love dungeons, roughly 8 dungeons daily)
Jokes and Laughter
Help and experience for nearly every aspect of the game.
Activity since I’m usually on all the time.
What we are looking for:
Have a ACTIVE voice server (more closely-knit guilds have this)
Be a mature group
Be a fairly large guild (not looking for a zerg-like guild, but a guild with a lot of people on to dungeon, WvW, and more importantly talk with)
Be laid-back (we don’t always play this game and sometimes just like to talk about life and what not)
Please pm me here, pm me in game, or post another topic on info about your guild. Thanks for looking guys.
We haven’t decided on a guild. We were going to decide by Sunday night but some guilds weren’t as they seemed.
Maceh how many people do Warlords have in the guild?
Hi, if some of you are wondering no we have not joined a guild yet. Some of us are having problems getting time to play with the latest storm in the East. So playing for those people is not an option at the moment. We are going to pick a guild based on all of our likings not just one or two peoples decision. With that being said besides server and your guild name could you provide the size of your guild? We would like to join a big guild and not because the zerging, but for the amount of people we can talk and relate to. Thanks guys.
:) We’re sooo happy you guys are interested in us We will take a look and see if we are a good fit for you guys :P TY SOO MUCH
Had look I like it! Left you a few questions get back at me
Contacted you back
it says your site for your guild doesnt exist
There are a few that are in their upper teens, so
I along with about 7 other friends are looking for a new NA guild. Due to circumstances we chose to break ties with our last guild. We are all over the age of 18 and play this game roughly 7+ hours daily. We love to PvE (Dungeons, nodes, finishing maps), PvP (a few love to spvp), and WvW as a group to have fun with one another. We do all have mics and love to talk, so pleaseeeeee have a voice server of some sort. We sometimes have a tendency to talk as if we were fighting and hating on each other, but in all it is all for fun. We come from all over the US, with different ethnic backgrounds.
What to expect from us:
Tons of guild influence (we love dungeons)
Jokes and Laughter
Help and tons of experience for nearly every aspect of the game.
Activity from us is never going to be a problem, for we are always on as if we live in Tyria
What we are looking for:
Have a voice server (more closely-knit guilds have this)
Be mature group
Be a fairly large guild (not looking for a zerg-like guild, but a guild with a lot of people on to dungeon, WvW, and more importantly talk with)
Be laid-back (we don’t always play this game and sometimes just like to talk about life and what not)
Please pm me here, pm me in game, or post another topic on info about your guild. I or my friends will contact you guys as soon as we can. Happy gaming.
World transfers are free because servers are still balancing themselves out… Slowly though servers are balancing themselves. I think within the next monthish the servers will cost gems to transfer.
How is volatility and deviation determined?
@fivekiller organization is a huge deal. Sure its numbers too but if people do it right 10 can take on a zerg of 20 even 30. The guilds on here aren’t really communicating with one another here during wvw. Each guild is it’s own and they are doing their own thing. SO idk maybe it is something that you guys aren’t doing right. There are some guilds that do no get along with one other because their leaders make themselves look foolish. Those people no one follows and respects and for the most part mutes during the battles. For those that are recruiting in your server ummm idk post a pic of it happening and then put it on the forums and we will see what is happening. Other than that I do not see or hearing from the other bigger guilds that they are doing that. Still got until Friday to turn this around, but IDK what happened to gate, but losing two consecutive weeks might drop you guys down a bit.
Not to take anything away from SoR’s determination, but this game doesn’t reflect an honest effort by Yak’s Bend to win. While SoR has been able to zerg the maps it becomes a question of sheer numbers.
The first night we were able to get representation into a centralized mumble server and organize a good portion of players into fighting squads. Our strategy was sound and obviously gave us a quick advantage.
Unfortunately once the “alliance” all went to bed, we have not been able to field an effective fighting force of more than 15 to 20 at any given time. The players who have been que’ing are not joining any of the “team” servers in favor of their individual guild servers. This makes it extremely difficult to organize effective defense and offensive strikes.
The server has very precious few qualified effective commanders. They are only able to play during very limited times during the day. When the commanders are on the field people respond and we are able to not only capture but meet your teams and stop them. Once they log off it becomes instead of One team server with have multiple 2, 3 or 5 man teams runner around doing puzzles, map completions, farming, killing NPC’s. Once the call is made to defend, or rebuilt, repair or recapture it is met with trolling , yelling , cussing and fighting, or simply “Why” they are just going to attack it again. Once the commanders log off we lose any and all progress to your overwhelming numbers.
During most of our major engagements your team had multiple teams of 20+ taking all supplies, attacking multiple locations and obviously working in concert with each other. Our team on the other hand had at any given time 20 maybe 30 at best were trying to defend, build, recapture, push offenses, upgrade and supply our areas. With the kind of player numbers you guys have been able to field we are severely overwhelmed. We send 5 people to recapture a supply since that is all we can spare and they are met by a team of 20. There is no way we or anyone is going to be able to hold large portions of maps when very few are defending, building, repairing, buying seige and running supplies. Most of the siege you have seen in the game has been bought by the same guilds, people and players. It wasn’t many players laying 1 or 2 pieces to help here and there. It was 10 or so laying multiple pieces to attack and defend. Others just entered the game joined a zerg and tried to run around and try to cap everything without fortifying and defending.
If we had been able to have a continued alliance pushing as hard everyday that we did on friday night you would have seen a different outcome. You have quoted Sun Tzu. One of his quotes fits the situation perfectly.
“The opportunity to secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself”.This is not meant to detract from your efforts, however, SoR didn’t “win” this game. Yak’s Bend lost the game. Combine that fact with it seems GoM has basically given up allowing you to focus your entire teams efforts into defeating the few willing to put up a fight. No matter how hard an opponent fights, being outnumbered on so many maps at once makes it impossible to face the onslaught. Once you gained the lead even the “fair weather” players stopped playing. Even a tiger won’t step in an ant bed twice knowingly.
might i recommend you do some recruiting and organizing in your server? Sorry, but 1 day wins don’t count no more. Win some battles and at some times, but bottom line SoR is winning through efforts of the members of the servers. If you want to win just wait until next week where you are in a lower bracket, which you should be after losing to SoR. Good Day

Sorry for not responding I was out for a while and we are still looking for a guild. We will change servers please be a fairly large guild and have voice chat
