Guild Wars 2

The bottom line is that I don’t think JQ or BG expected this to happen as fast as it did. I was hopeful with the new guilds that BG would over take JQ in a few weeks. So whatever reason you believe this played out as it did we should all actually be happy. It is nice to finally have a change in Tier 1 other than SOR and BG swapping places.

It also looks like Dragonbrand means business as I thought Tarnished Coast would be more of an obstacle. They could break into Tier 1 in a couple of weeks if they keep it up.

Score Update Please for those of us at work! Last I saw BG was on the rise trying to overtake JQ for the over all lead.

I do think that the matches were getting kind of stale so maybe the change to the ACs will force different strategies to be used and freshen up the battles. It does seem like before if you had a constant presence running a Zerg and flipping everything it worked, but now it seems that you need to have enough people on to not only flip things but also to defend. Sounds like ANET wanted to break up the Zergs some.

I just want to be green without having to transfer servers so I can finish my last couple of POIs for 100% map completion. I honestly thought we would have to drop down a tier in order for this to happen but maybe BG can overtake JQ with the improved 24/7 presence.

This is a proper response to the abusive use of guesting but please keep in mind that on high population servers that there will still be overflow (even if guesting was turned off) due to the quality of loot still being worth the 5 minute event. With it being Account bound that should help with the number of players at any given event, although certain times on certain worlds may still be a crap shoot.

Last night a guildie and myself ran the 3 Orr events and then escorting the Dolyaks down to Jofast.

I got 2 rares, 24 Moldy Bags, 15 greens and about 20 blues, and a lot of T6-T5 mats.

My guildie got 1 exotic, 2 rares, not as many greens, about the same amount of blues, and not as any mats.

Essentially by the end of the run of events we both made a couple of gold. (We averaged 1 glob of ecto per rare and he sold the exotic straight up for 85 silver).

Before the patch it would takes us 3-4 runs of the events to equal this type of haul especially on the rares, and we had never had an exotic drop.

I would say they adjusted it some based on my experience.
