mos.millenium finally has SoS swapping with BG hallelujah!
99% of the time burning oil is really useless, but that 1% of the time when you totally destroy an army of Omegas and Alphas because of a poorly designed golem rush is totally worth it.
I know JQ has quite a nice Taiwan/Japan alliance, but WM actually still trumps because they get on earlier (which boggles me)
ok thank you for the explanation jojojoon
What time slot does this so called “Chinese guild roster” play? In EST terms preferably.
My point is, so many people in this thread are wondering why is JQ ahead and whether SBI gave up or something, but are these people so blind as to not notice there’s currently a big gaping hole in WvW known as WM?
The past two weeks, SBI has come back from being down 20k points or more and winning by 50k points or more. No lead is large enough >.<
Also, WM literally has not shown their face yet in this match, so anything is still possible.
Jade Quarry! Always action no matter what time of the day you log in.
Dang that guardian is uber dangerous
Tier 1 doesn’t even have queues anymore. The overall wvw population has decreased since the launch of the game. I know you said no top tier, but assuming the only reason is for queues, then I see no reason for you not to join a server like Jade Quarry. No matter what time of the day, there is always a good fight. In other tiers, you run the risk of logging in at a time when it’s purely just zerg vs door or outnumbered so much that you can’t do anything, but on Jade Quarry that won’t happen.
Actually, why not pick a server where people will be gauranteed to carry your torch and have some great battles? I can make a great case for JQ. We have some big asian guilds who take a lot of land and upgrade it from 8 am EST to noon, but most of them log to go to sleep between noon and 1 pm EST. Your guild sounds like the perfect timeslot to take over their efforts until guilds start logging in in the evening.
Looks like tier 1 match will be locked in for a third consecutive week though because Blackgate is adament on staying here (+520 potential points on a Wednesday to catch up). I would love to see SoS try out their strats in Tier 1 to see how it goes because I’m reading a lot about portaling, which is exactly what Blackgate brought to the table when they started T1, but they hardly use it anymore (maybe cause SBI and JQ have adapted to it? but not sure). Hopefully SoS will make it to Tier 1 this week and let’s see how they fair.
I just have to ask… why is blackgate trying so hard to make the matchups for next week the same? =(
And people kept saying stack up…. so you don’t even need cloak and dagger at all to do this; so broken.
that idea is full of win
Hot air balloons – balance it by making it so that if it pops or you jump out, you die no matter what (so people don’t just fly over keeps and jump)
make it cost 2000 supply (cause it would be very easy to destroy enemy sieges with this)
Honestly no one wants to play the same match up 3 weeks in a row, so there is a conscientious effort to push BG down, and welcome SoS up.
Someone was saying getting to Tier 1 means 5-6 hour queues and losing players? Here’s my take on this:
Queues are already low or non-existent because I think people are bored of this game already and tired of playing 12-15 hour shifts. Secondly, the last two weeks has seen one server slander another server to the point that even the servers own members start to doubt themselves, and I’m very disappointed by the actions of that server who decided to take to forum wars to win.
All in all, everyone is highly anticipating the SBI/JQ/SoS matchup
They are just as active in game as on the forum, I’ll call it a draw
alt could mean alt account maybe
Siege doesn’t pay for itself and sadly most people don’t purchase.
Any chance for badges is worth an attack.
this, every kill is for the badge
If only we could fast forward to Friday already and face SoS
Have their screen fade to black… that can’t be too hard to program right? Competitive FPS games already have this.
boneduste this is not true.
The score gap is the result of SBI having more people play during a 24 hour span then JQ does. Look at the map. Look at all the green. Don’t you think JQ wants maps to be blue? Because SBI has so many players it just isn’t happening.
Tried it, didn’t work
Forget 10 people…. on JQ it has stopped a zerg of 30+ who are anxious to get on to the next objective already.
I think the major issue is needing people to play 12 hours + a day to be competitive…. I know you guys in T1 know what I’m talking about
lol RiversOnFire
LOL i remember this
I said in team chat “lol bg is fighting sbi in our territory”, but then JQ guys start attacking you guys so i said “noo you guys are ruining it” which someone replies “how dare you, it’s like stopping two girls from kissing”
What server is this that you have a queue?
No one has mentioned that no orbs is also impacting this match up. For a lot of last week, BG fought with 1 or 2 orbs in their possession (especially a 36 hour period where they had an uncontested bugged orb). During this match, JQ skirmishes vs BG have been lasting a lot shorter than skirmishes vs SBI. I’m not saying orbs were the only reason BG stayed in the match last week, but I’m concluding that without orbs SBI and JQ players are just stronger. Naturally, the strong prey on the weak for potential points, so there is this 2v1 effect.
So much talk, but look at SBI borderlands. SBI and BG have not attacked each other for the past 5 hours AND JQ has a queue on the map. So what now!?!?!? Be quiet and play the game no matter what the odds are.
Anyway, all three pages of this thread is nonsense anyway. Real match doesn’t start until Wednesday. Two weeks in a row that’s when SBI started their push to take number one.
+1
no, +1000
This is even worse because a lot of monsters are near spawn. So people invade MY territory, and you give THEM the advantage to be picked back up because I accidentally kill a Moa, Wolf, or some other nonsense?
I don’t have a guild wars 2 guru account so if someone wants to copy and paste this over there, please do so.
A lot of people are wondering what happened at Shadaran Hills from a JQ perspective so here it is.
A well known commander JQ received a PM by a mesmer saying he was successfully planted in Hills. The commander then logs in to the borderlands because he wasn’t in there. He then excitedly tells the map and his guild to rally on him because we finally had an opportunity to take a key point on the map. 30+ JQ rally on him and we portal in to inner Hills. Take from it what you will, but this is what happened.
Did SBI make it past inner gate at shadaran hills before that?
If I’m not mistaken, SoR did receive a boatload of transfers. They leapfrogged 2 tiers or something because of that.
sorry to hear you got stuck on another server, you might still end up need more than a week before you can be re-united with your friends again but here is a tip for you
Use this website to look at scores
http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#NA
When someone has a +600 or more in the “income column” and the updated time is fairly recent, you might want to transfer there to do your WvW completion because +600 pretty much means that server owns everything on every map.
Very interesting questions. The one that worries me the most if whether IoJ will show up this week or not. There is nothing worse for a match up than when one side decides not to participate. But then again, SoS and SoR will have their 1v1 rematch. I am going to predict that Tier 1 match up stays the same because I don’t think SoR will let SoS run away with it, and SBI/BG/JQ have already proven that none of them go away – the points potential is consistently 200 or more for each side at any given time of any given day, so the matches stay close.
My assessment of last match:
BG showed everyone the “turtle” method and took a huge lead by using it. This pissed SBI and JQ off and they, especially SBI, started saying bs like bg is hacking and exploiting and whatever, but the reality is SBI was QQing because they didn’t know what to do. So many SBI members come on forums and successfully painted BG as the evil.
Fast forward 3 days, JQ and SBI spend the majority of their time focusing on BG. This is true – the majority of the time I played while BG was still in the lead, SBI and JQ rarely full on attacked each other. Seemed like a mutual unwritten agreement that we did not want BG to take first place.
Anyway, in response to the opening, I don’t think you guys have to do anything as a community to “remove the hate” because this already happened: you guys didn’t come in first this match up. Plus, Anet removed the orbs which was the roots of all the bickering. Clean slate this week, anything can happen. But I think what we learned from last week is forum slander can actually have an effect on how a match swings, so I hope this week we don’t have any more forum wars cause it would be nice if matches were completely determined by players on the battlefield.
Turn that hate into revenge. Can’t forget SBI came away with the win, JQ and BG have to do something about this!
Anyone else pumped about this battle of titans? Only 2 more hours to go!
This weeks SBI/JQ/BG was a great match up. BG started off hot by employing tactics that SBI and JQ had to adjust to. This rematch should be a lot more intense since we’ve all gotten to know each other.
I can’t speak to much about the 2nd tier matchup since I don’t play there, but it definitely looks like equally matched servers are being pitted agains each other. I hope people on those servers will chime in withtheir thoughts.
Make it so that you can’t see the number unless you go near that area. This way, scouts can actually really be scouts (even if they are spies). This could almost solve the invisible zerg issue to if you know before hand how many people are there.
Agreed, what else will there be to do in borderlands? It was nice to log in to a semi-even fight and have something to plan for. “Let’s go for the orb!” Now it will be… let’s defend this keep? That sounds so mundane.
Plus orbs make battles more fun, Without it, there is less incentive to have 3 way battles. Or those epic moments where someone sieged bay with 10 golems and your server went in behind to wipe all of them and take the orb for yourself.
RIP epic moments in borderlands
In my experience, golem rushes only work when you are outnumbering the opposition anyway, so 1 gold per golem sounds fair enough. Don’t want to make it too cheap to brutalize an already weak opponent.
^ you can tell because everyday 3 am we start losing everything. If we can get a significant 3 am to 12 noon presence that would be awesome.
JQ only has 6-7 big guilds (“big” meaning they’ll field 20 or more in borderlands at a time"), and this is just not cutting it in this matchup. We’re losing because we just don’t have enough coverage.
video or it never happened
I would just focus on getting to level 80 so you have access to the wide array of slot skills and traits for your class. You can level to 80 in WvW as long as you’re consistently taking supply camps, killing yaks, capturing sentry points, doing quaggan events, capturing towers/keeps with other groups of players. When you face off against enemy players you’ll learn the balance between offense/defense, survival, and what stats you want to invest in for your gear. As long as you’re using gear scaled to your real level, you should be hitting for decent damage in WvW.
