Guild Wars 2

I already feel like JQ is a winner. My goal for S2 has been accomplished. The only thing that could make me happier is if SoS won this week, pushing BG to fourth. Could three servers pull of what two servers already did? Probably not, but it would still be amazing!

Only a WvW player thinks their enemies are lining up in “double bag formation” when their server is getting pushed by the other two.

Seen a lot of JQ Alt+F4 to avoid getting stomped tonight (some times I didn’t even have the buff). Come on guys, I paid a lot of gems for my cool giant animation. Let me see it.

#DisappointedInThosePlayers

Nobody Alt F4’s anymore. That was so last year. Esp on a night where the q’s are long. Probably was DCs, not sure about anyone else- but I have been getting tons of them lately. The person you didnt get to stomp is probably way more angry about thier dissapearance than you are.

Thanks TC and FA for the amazingly fun week. I found myself running home from work to log into WvW again! No hacks, no chest thumping, no angry forum posts. Just good fun and great battles.

Respect goes out to both servers for coming out every day and fighting hard. I know its frustrating to log in and be like “time to build a wp again” but nobody stopped fighting and trying. I would love to see FA get some of thier time zones filled and have this match up every week. Tonight at 9 I will be hoping to see another TC/FA/JQ week!

Sovereign.1093:

Can i ask for some constructive criticism from JQ on how TC’s performance is now? You can message me personally or just type here.

TC is doing great. I have been waiting for this match up forever, mostly because I know I will be hunted by your CRZY guild. But TC is a pleasure to battle against. I havent seen any hacking or cheating, its been good clean battles. The forums posts are pleasant and fun. In the field, I would love to see TC become more organized and confident in zerg fights. I see you guys trying new things, and Im hoping it all comes together and I will be a running loot bag for you! You kept us out of your homeland in EB this morning so that was great! You guys never give up and fight with great heart. I think in a few more days the TC fights will evolve and I may/may not drop a precurser for you!

Nah, JQ is a strong server- and Im not referring to numbers. They can do it with or without EMP. I think its more like a community caring about each other thing. Since its clear you dont understand that, it leads me to believe you dont have that. They dont NEED EMP, they WANT EMP.

PS. Giving people/guilds gold to come to a server does not equal caring.
PSS. Karma is a kitten.

Whatever EMP is going through at the moment, please know that there are people in the guild that are not moving and are remaining loyal to JQ. If you see any members on a map please do not troll them and make a hard situation already harder. Some are staying on JQ, love JQ, and will continue to fight for JQ. They have made the choice to remain part of the JQ family, please treat them as such!

Its ok Deadly.. not everyone takes things so seriously – I got a giggle out of it.
You got FOO’d!!!

Ive been on 3 servers. The one big difference I notice is alot more roamers in JQ. But those roamers tend to know what they are doing and join up with the zerg at the right times. Alot of servers seem to waste alot of time with using an entire zerg to do something that can be done in very small numbers. The players are much more experienced, they know exactly what is going to happen next because they read the map and they are where they should be when they should be there

As a person who is usually a scout on a tower or keep, I cant count the number of times a night I watch 20-25 people from another server run up to put something in combat. Solo tagging garri is scary.

Sympathies for you guys with the seige troll from JQ. I know how frustrating it is to watch it happen and theres nothing you can do about it. Like Wish said, I want to take your stuff the fair honest fight way, not take it while you stand there unable to defend yourself properly. Im hoping some offers/alliances based on trust have been put out there to get into the keep, destroy the rams, and leave. It seems resolving matters on our own is the only way to take care of the problem atm.

When you are laying in bed watching tv next to your husband who keeps repeating “portal bomb portal bomb” in his sleep.

Then you think its funny to grab him quickly and yell “BANANA!!!!!!”
*which is our code word for GTFO.. dont turn. dont look. dont stop. a 50 man zerg just showed up out of nowhere. run for your lives and waypoint!

Tobias Steele.2071:

You do realise that rams have a different siege cap altogether from the other types of siege? Placing flame rams will have zero impact on your defensive capabilities and vice versa. Apart from the wasted supply which is a different matter entirely.

Please explain. I remember having 50 flame rams in our EB keep, and personally as well as many others were not able to place any other type of siege anywhere else on the map. No balista to take out trebs. No trebs to take out trebs. No arrow carts. Even the ramma spamma was unable to drop more rams and moved on to another map. The only thing we could make were golems.

Ok BG.. now I know when you got through our garrison gate you were like W T F?
You could have taken them out for us!

Please stop comparing spies and sabatoge in WvW to real life war. We all know what happens when a spy gets caught in enemy territory. Give me the in game option to kill spies in WvW and THEN things will be comparable.

Mr T here burns about 1000 supplies and turns our keep into a flame ram shrine about twice a day. Usually right before there is an attack on it. Is it against any rules? Who knows. I guess at least you can take comfort in the fact that it happens on many servers, not just yours.

This is our commander on JQ:

“All warfare is based on dec… hold on a sec I’m trying to get these idiots in TS to stack on my pin for a mesmer portal.”
-Sun Tzu

This is so sadly true.

Aurust.8961:

Wow, i feel really bad for you JQ guys that had to be in JQ BL last night ( NA primetime)…. seriously…. that was pretty brutal.

Don’t feel bad! I made friends with a pretty sexy UL guardian outside garrison. We danced, and laughed, and he killed a moa for us to sit down and snack on. It was the best night ever, until my husband came up and tried to kill him. I guess there is no sleeping with the enemy =(

Wow, a few weeks not winning and people are bailing off SoS already?

JQ has been faced with:

- Dying WvW population and outmanned many nights on all bl.
- Guilds/people more interested in fractals.
- Frustrated player morale for being number two for many weeks.
- Guilds leaving the server.
- Many rebuilding phases.
- Not having adequate coverage for all time zones.
- Every other excuse people are using for leaving SoS.

I want to thank each and every person who kept JQ together through it all. Kept morale high, recruited very well, DIDNT say ’wow this server is not for us lets leave", and DID say “this server is amazing, we need more ppl come be amazing with us”.

To any SoR or BG that come to T1 and complains about JQ’s coverage:

I have a second acct on TC because I have another set of friends there that I play with.
Lets be honest, its not like T2 has equal coverage all the time. When you rotate into 4th place, I dont see you going to T2 and saying “oh we feel super bad about them waking up every morning with a 10 tick, lets not play from midnight to 6am.” TC gets up every morning, starts taking thier stuff back and fighting, and puts up a good fight all day long. With great fun attitudes on top of that. Maybe you should all take a lesson from them. And if your “night crew” that propelled you into T1 isnt good enough for T1 do something about it. Did you really think T1 wasnt gonna be harder than T2? Your tears here make me laugh because I also know what goes on in T2.

Everyone else – amazing fights all around. Its been great watching SoR grow and become the strong server they are now. To our sisters and brothers over there from JQ, I am proud of you all!

Seems to me the WHOLE guild knows.

The only thing I have seen from Fear is the zoom hack with the arrow cart

FEAR does not use hacks or any other type of cheating in order to gain any advantage. We only utilize constantly-changing tactics in order to counter, overcome, and defeat our adversaries in WvW. Our policy is strictly straight forward. We do tolerate, permit, or promote cheating in any way. If you ever see someone in Feelings Aren’t Required [FEAR] hacking or cheating, please take a screenshot and report it to one of our leaders.

Thank you,
~Cort

You are either smoking crack or just plain dilusional about the innocence of your guild. First image.. no gate or walls down. Second image.. HEY I wonder whos on the other side?! SHOCKER.

That’s it SoR.
Im removing the welcome mats at garri in JQBL.
Im also taking all the beer and women away too.
There is nothing there for you, please move along!

covenn.7165:

TC in SoR BL just now …that was freaking awesome. Thanks for that.

Overgrown tonic charge brought to you by CRZY!
We had a good laugh too, until you killed us!
Good fun!

Did BG have a “commander in training” running TC BL last night from 10pm-1am est? SoR had breached north outer bay, BG had breached south outer bay at the same time- and when I went to bed at 1am it was still in TC control. If you couldnt take it from TC for two hours with DP, how are you going to take something from SoS or JQ solo in T1? Not to mention nothing else on the map got contested while everyone was focused on Bay, so TC held most of the map. Tactics like that wont work in T1. Dont worry, Im sure your night crew finally took everything for you, and you woke up this morning thinking “WE ARE AMAZING!”

LOVE IT!! Napping like a boss! Thanks for brightening up my seven hours on the road!

How my morning went for me on SBI BL…

Me: Uggh we need to go wipe SoS off the map and catch up on point.
2nd Me: Oh look SBI is trying to take thier garrison back KILL KILL KILL.
Me: SBI and JQ should be kicking SoS’s butts. No new server is gonna come to T1 and push either one of us off. We have both been here since like week 2, and we are gonna stay.
2nd Me: Oh look SBI is STILL trying to take thier garrison back. KILLKILL KILL.
30 minutes later my head is still having the same argument with itself.
Thank God I have to go to work.

To the mesmer that called me a scrub because I didnt mist form off the cliff in JQBL Hills-

Yes, you guys killed me.
Yes, you got to finish me.
I truly hope I gave you good loot or badges. We all know how crappy the drop rate is.
However, if I had flung myself off a cliff while facing death, I would not have seen the golem you guys were bringing up. This allowed me to call out the inc to my team. I would like to hope this helped my team way more than me being concerned about a death.
Sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture. E-death is not scary.

@ Covergirl.

Exploiting is something that frustrates all servers involved. At first I was like “who really feels the need to cheat in a video game to win”, but I have now come to realize most of the people do it for the lulz and because they can, not to win.

AoS has a zero tolerance policy for cheating, exploiting, or anything of the sort. We want to be a guild that is respected for good, hard, honest fights. With that being said, I cant imagine that any of our people – in front of a whole zerg, 15+ guildies, the whole SBI team standing at thier zone in, and one of our commanders – would risk going up there. Im hoping what you saw was a mesmer clone, or mistaken identity in the chaos. I was at that fight, thats me with swirling winds on our treb /wave, and I try to keep an eye out for my guildies. The only two people I remember being in that spot were a mesmer and an ele. Most of our thiefs run in that annoying yak killing intercepter group. I dont know if any of our leaders have contacted you, but I just thought I would put ^ out there.

Its been a great battle this week. Someone lit a firecracker under JQs butts and we are fighting very hard! The next two days should be interesting, we all know SBI can close 50k gaps in a short time when they want to. GL to everyone!

Holy

I hate it when that happens!

We didnt think so. Busted!

You wouldnt be thinking about portalling people in from the supply camp would you?

So, TA abandoned HoD and left them with many painfull weeks to get to the tier appropriate for them. Kudos btw for all who stayed on HoD and rode that out. Then some of TA guilds went to Blackgate, gave the server a bad reputation, and bailed on that server too?

Question of the day: How many servers will TA taint?

Anyways.. curse you SBI for being beasts. There have been some epic battles in JQBL this weekend! Im not sure how we are going to counter your Wed-Fri kitten whoopings, but we are gonna try!

I can honestly say I have never personally seen WM hack.
I may hate them for other reasons…
Being good and sometimes kicking my butt.
But its all been fair and square.

Wait wait wait wait wait here…..
Someone said JQ is an active participant in Portal Ball 2012?
JQ has mesmers?
I call BS.
On JQBL there are never mesmers.
I would cybor for a portal from a supply camp back up to a tower.

I know =( I figured if I kept the word hack or cheat or exploit out it might not get deleted?

sad.

Im honestly not even sure what we are supposed to do here. “Questionable actions” – yes Im trying to be nice here- are happening way to often in WvW. We can report them in game, but get no response and the questionable actions are still going on weeks later. I would love to hear some kind of response from Anet about what they are doing/plan to do. Hopefully something. I see posts saying something along the lines of " Here on XX server we dont condone those type of actions. If you have a name we will make sure its not a guild member blah blah blah". These posts get deleted. It honestly just seems like its the “hey if we dont talk about it, it isnt happening” syndrome. But its happening, and your players are getting frustrated.

“Portal Ball 2012” – best name ever.

SBI and BG brought thier A game and some great fights to the game last night! Great battles and great fun! NON STOP ACTION! Trying to figure out where the BG portal bomb group was going made my head hurt! Fighting off attackers at Dreaming Bay for like an hour was crazy! And then finally the garrison, we fought our little hearts out trying to keep it! Thanks to all our commanders for staying calm and cool at the point where I think we had lost everything on the map and keeping people focused to retake things. Its been a great match so far. Saw some odd things in Dreaming Bay, have a post up on the bugs forum, hopefully it will get taken care of! Its only a video game boys and girls, keep it clean! Let the battles continue!

Alanis – you do realize that most of the people in wvw from JQ arent really from JQ. They are by no means representation of what our server is. Many of our pre-bandwagon commanders and players are taking a break this week. I know Im supposed to be nice, but our server has traded off large organized wvw guilds for a bunch of bandwagoners that are horrible. HoD went through it. JQ is going through it. And I guess you wont understand until your server goes through it.

Any smart server is going to stay out of the top spots until free transfers are over.
And right now is NOT a good time to end them…. JQ still has the potato!

SBI- Thanks for the great fights last night prime time!

I think the real game we are playing here is Hot Potato. Eventually the music is going to stop and some poor #1 server is going to be stuck with the potato aka the bandwagoners.
