Guild Wars 2

SoR scouts you should also consider TC along with Mag/SoS, I am guesting over on TC this week and their wvw community is very fun and stress free.

I hate you both.

You dare troll me while I am on vacation via a dolphin cave spelunker?!

How dare you sir.

The last [SG] thief group is logging off =(

Ty everyone for all the fun fights on TC BL!

Any Magswags have a video from Monday of SG vs Pyro by the Vurm, I would like to see @@

I’m still sitting on that footage. I’ll get it up eventually.

That would be sweet, thanks amigo.

Don’t worry Fann, you’re in TW. No more than 3 have ever been killed in a single fight, ever.

Hello Saucians and Magswaggers. (Video to follow)

[SG] would like to thank everyone for the fights this week. We stopped srsbzness after Monday, and did a running of the bulls Tues, and Weds a thief night. Our most fun fights were vs PYRO, whom I think we play next week? PYRO feel free to holler at us Mondays if we can we will come on the map and conduct a violent bag exchange @@

[SG] recognizes that JQ has a ton more wvw players than SoS and Mag. We would like to salute those wvw players on SoS and Mag that came out to fight on the battlefield and on the forums despite this fact.

/Salute

[SG]

K only 15 SG and 5 DA… come play =(

ATTENTION MAG AND SOS:

[SG] has 25 thieves on MAG BL… come play =)

xoxo

The only thing SoR “kingmakers” are getting in week 7 from JQ and BG are buckets to wear around your necks to catch the QQ.

[SG] fights [KH] sometimes if we are up late, they are very good opponents and hard nuts to crack.

All too easy young skywalker.

He transferred to SoR he is in FEAR now. =(

Tonight, I completed 14 cow finishers…as a cow. I have won the internet.

Special thanks to my “HERD” and our opponents.

“Anyways, as you are winning, i expect you to be fighting in the open field instead of behind towers, without having to field 2x numbers + siege.”

I am confused. Is [IRON] fighting [TW] ? I thought you guys were on the same server?

[IRON] is probably pretty excited to have another big EU guild to fight, I would imagine.

We are going to lose garrison if we don’t get more PVF coverage in here versus this #magswag blob!

LFG!

I heard from a credible source that SoR was training this week.

I am predicting a case of 2v1ing BG (so that BG gets 3rd) in week 7 in order to upset the BG ranking.

The ego bruising and qq flood of 2v1ing SoR will be to good for any self respecting JQ and BG to pass up however.

p.s. BG has Russians?! Sweeeeeet! “In Soviet BG, bags farm you.”

But all swag aside, tonight was fun. The fights near the Ice Grub especially. Thanks for the fun, SG! Hope to see you on the field again soon!

I wish you could post the hour of footage before we had to go leave for bay =) There was some very good fighting, I don’t think we had anyone recording though. CND guild was rushing S door and we had to go defend. I like the commentary! That particular fight AGG came in from somewhere with a 15man or so and mixed it up in the middle for a bit too.

Salute and thanks for the fun #magswag (Pyro,INC, Anz (?), etc)!

Since [SG] almost went to TC at launch I would like to say……..

Shadow Gypsies versus Black Gate and Sanctum

http://youtu.be/g5WpEk0HxPQ

Hello all,

Here is a video from our Monday night wvw, made by CJ. Despite forum talk [SG] (at least) has been 90% focused on fighting Black Gate this week. They have provided the most consistent open field battles for us, and we thank you. We will most likely attack SoR tonight since we haven’t truly attacked them since Sunday. Without further adooooo:

AzzaCin.3691

Major battle taking place in BG BL right inside the garrison. All 3 servers are there, inc JQ and SoR, and a fight has been going on now for about 3 hours now I think. Not even auto attack goes off. Tried to use minions thinking they can attack on their own, those things can’t even walk down the stairs correctly with the lag. Tried to finish downed players and it took around 10 tries for it to actually work.

The biggest problem that I have with this is ANets home server JQ. While I did see SoR players and BG players lagging like hell (you can tell from them just running around doing nothing) JQ players were able to flawlessly land their attacks and abilities. Ex: Hammer warriors had no problem stunning everything and chaining their attacks.

There’s word of ANet addressing this problem but I found nothing. Will there be a fix in the near future?

This might take the qq post of the year award. Anet makes it so only bg/sor lag, but jq does not… You just can’t make up the really good stuff.

On a side note thanks for all the fun fights in SoR BL.

As this era of wvw in gw2 comes to an end, I would like to congratulate Jade Quarry on having the most successful wvw alliance in gw2.

The hard work that the wvw community has put in on a daily around the clock basis for a year plus has been nothing short of epic. All the battles, the fights, the politics, the drama, the hatred sometimes in and out, the Quarry and it’s honey badger pugs have endured, and will end at the top of the heap. Love the Quarry or hate the Quarry, it has earned it’s place as the Old Warhorse of Gw2.

Much respect to the “Old Warhorse” guilds that make up the heart of JQ, and to those who have came as pilgrims to the Quarry and made it their home. A home in which the mids, and hibs, and albs could finally get along. The home of a global pvp alliance with an almost a 50% win percentage in the most competitive world versus world alliance pvp that mmo’s offer.

The home of the Shadow Gypsies.

We salute you Jade Quarry.

You salute yourself? Congrats on stacking at the end of every era.

Hahahaha! Was about to say this as well.

Yeah, high-fives bro’s!

[SG] had lots of fun torturing TC in TCBL tonight. Ty for the fights. We were outmanned (after 9pst) so we didn’t have the #’s to do a proper garri push, other than trebbing down your walls and pvdooring your inner gate down on occasion.

We were focused on keeping all the green off the map yesterday, so today we decided to torment ya @@ Our last 5man launched a valiant 5 omega assault before we logged. I think we might have had your garri, but we got scouted when inner nw was 15%! Boooooo!

Gracias por la fiesta TC amigos.

^ I witnessed the above. Maybe the best farming of a whole server by 1 JQ guild at a camp that I have seen. This coupled with siege being used everywhere, made it even more of a skill highlight. Gj Agg.

A-net is going to make runes of Melandru only attainable through the gem store…

Kinda like the bloodlust buffs and new sales on finishing moves. Shameless I say, shameless! :p

Sorry Fuzzionx monitors my posts and makes sure I’m hostile to SoR, or he comes over to my house and kicks my dog =(

Any proposed solutions?

I know it’s a tall order to beat T1 servers for T2 servers. Everyone does.

How are you going to do it? If you intend to beat T1 servers you will need a serious game plan of some sort. They have more manpower, more experience, and are more organized from top to bottom than you. 4 out of the 6 servers in the league can field similar #’s. TC has the most coverage holes, but roflstomps ranks 5 and 6.

I would suppose due to the concern that the above posters are all on the 5th and 6th ranked server? That you’ve beaten the snot out of ranks 7-24? Ie… 18 other servers, to get your rank.

If you do end up rank 5 and 6 for leagues, and would like some organizational help or advice, many people from Sor/BG/JQ will help. Your community leaders (which you will need if you do not have already) can probably also join teamspeak with any of the above servers and have real time conversations.

I can respond to any e-mails and can set aside time for some teamspeak and offer advice etc. Most long time GM’s of T1 servers would also probably do this. You’ll have alot of work to do if you’re ranked 5 and 6 for the leagues in the future. Good luck.

akamon.2769:

Hi, TC, BG and JQ! hope you guys are having fun.

ugggghhh a sor.

The main difference (not skill wise etc) most fail to think about is T2 and lower are populated by guilds/wvwer’s fighting on battlegrounds with and against one another. T1 you are fighting against entire server alliances that play all four maps, 24/7, coordinated as one, and have been doing so for the majority of gw2’s existence. [/quote]

“The difference between every level, whether it’s T1vTC, TCvT2, T2vT3….is coverage. The PROBLEM is that when your server has a severe coverage gap your more likely to lose the outmanned guilds to transfer than you are to get the population increase to be equal with the tier above you. PLAYING CONSTANTLY OUTMANNED IS NOT FUN.”

Coverage has been built by T1 servers to compete with each other. This happens through various types of recruitment. If you want to compete with T1, you will have to build up your community. Can you, do you want to, will you, I know not. It’s just a simple fact. It takes weeks, and months and months to do this. T1 coverage is a reflection of time put in by all T1 servers. I personally, never do fractals, but I don’t get angry because someone is at lvl 89789745 fractal, and I am not. I have not put in the work. Again life, and wvw aren’t fair. If you want to compete at a certain level, you’ll have to put in the work.

Mance.5640:

Rank 4-6 are going to have to build their wvw communities to match this. Even with even numbers they will simply not win.

“From where???, BG,SoR and JQ have been T1 for over 50% of the time GW2 existed and there’s nobody than can even come close. They’ve been recruiting players for longer and are still getting players. Now if SbI and TC merged that might push one of the T1 servers down, but there’s no way ranks 4-6 will become T1 unless one of the T1 server implodes, which hasn’t happened for over 32 weeks.”

You will have to recruit from all the tiers. My best answer would be to get into contact with T1 community leaders and ask for help if a server is looking to become competitive in the new Gold League/T1 league. Any aspiring servers will have 24 servers to recruit from, just like everyone else. T1 servers are thousands of gamers working together towards one goal, dozens of wvw guilds. It will be extremely hard work. It is extremely hard work.

Mance.5640:

T1 servers did not and do not dictate a-nets matches. I do not envy the work you’re going to have to do. But keep in mind with the exception of JQ (because we are just amazing @@) all T1 servers currently didn’t “start out” in T1 either. They built themselves as communities and wvw alliances over time.

“T1 servers don’t dictate matches, but they do prevent other servers from becoming T1 by leeching talent away from lower tiers. The reason BG and SoR became T1 was becasue servers like HoD, ET, SbI, SoS and IoJ had transfers OUT of T1.”

Again, T1 servers are fantastic recruiters, you will have to become so if you wish to beat them. This goes without saying for almost every aspect of life. We’ve seen the rise and fall of many servers from T1. BG and SoR have both risen up from the ranks to their current positions, so have others before them. It’s not easy, but can be done.

Mance.5640:

All T1 servers would love to have more competition between different servers. Hopefully T1 becomes 6 servers instead of just 3 in the upcoming months. I mean…BG and SoR did it, so clearly ANYONE can. =) xoxo

“No they don’t, and the T1 servers have done everything they can to prevent competition. What’s going to happen is that whichever T1 server is 3rd will recruit more guilds so they can move back on top.

“Why don’t each T1 server send a 30-50 man guild from each time zone to one of the rank 5-6 servers to show how much you want competition…….yeah, I didn’t think so.”

You are in point of fact, entirely wrong. T1 is hyper competitive, the guilds/players etc in T1 are ALL about playing competitively, extremely so. Currently only 3 servers in NA are able to match this spirit, and reside…in T1. No server in T1 is going to “give” you anything, you have to take it from them. All three are complete competitive monsters. The apex predators of gw2 servers.

Why don’t you recruit t1 guilds? There are plenty of them. Why should servers who have spent more than a year at this point working on their alliances, break them up, and leave everything they have worked for? Why don’t top sports teams give their best players away to other teams who don’t have as good of a record?

Some T1 guilds, do transfer and build up new alliances. TW xfered from JQ to SoR and helped to build SoR. It took them a loooong time to reach T1 and lots of hard work. This is what it takes. Can you do it? I hope so. I bet you have my precursor!

(also I suck at forum quoting!)

Lmfao, [SG] at Hills in JQBL. Omg… Your poor omega dodged back a bit too far and fell off the cliff. (He didn’t need to actually really back out of aoe. It was a wooden wall and you would’ve gotten it down just fine.)

haha, yeah we were telling him not to back up any farther, then he randomly dodged backwards and aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee off the cliff!

Then when I was spam /laughing him, somebody hopped off the wall and kicked me over and I died to…karma is a kitten haha. :p

pleaaaaase tell me this was recorded

(ty Jane for another fun vid, and our guest stars JQ citizens and AGG)

[SG] does randomly on occasion field an EU force a couple times a week. We are not sure what causes the phenomenon, but our lead scientists are looking into it.

The top 3 servers (and TC to some extent when they choose to admit it) have communities that play the “meta.” While the top 3 are entirely different beasts due to server make up and evolution of differing gamers/climates etc. etc. they all share the same goal. Beating your face in, and taking home your stuff.

The main difference (not skill wise etc) most fail to think about is T2 and lower are populated by guilds/wvwer’s fighting on battlegrounds with and against one another. T1 you are fighting against entire server alliances that play all four maps, 24/7, coordinated as one, and have been doing so for the majority of gw2’s existence.
