Guild Wars 2

So people that can only play during the night no longer count? Thats kittenty

I didn’t know this was a 4 way match up, SoR just cant leave BG alone can they.

You want vanity items to keep you occupied? Try learning punctuation instead of writing one long sentence separated by commas. That will keep you busy

What about the first and last tiers? They wont see a different match up every week

Considering the AC was against the wall hitting supply depot of Briar…I dont think eyefinity can accomplish that

Im glad SoR got some much needed xfers, the matches are the closest they have been in a very long time.

WvW in GW2 is CPU intensive. Much more so than other games. To run WvW in higher setting requires an intel I7. I had to build a brand new system to really run this on high.

If you’ve been playing this long already, wait on buying anything for now. The new intel Haswell line will be out next month.

I dont think a possible 10% increase in performance is worth building/buying a whole new pc with the latest chip. Laptops have always been inferior to pc for gaming

Be happy that dungeons dont have lock out timers

He should consider himself lucky his group didnt come across a group of thieves. If 1 thief can tie up a 5-6, imagine what a group of thieves can do.

Batdogi.7142:

I bet a number of other JQ folk in the northern hemisphere are distracted by the springtime stuff you have to do whether it’s yard work, college finals/graduation/job hunt or other stuff I haven’t mentioned. Why BG has it’s folks more heavily online I can’t guess but maybe they have more excitement about finally taking 1st with a good chance to hold it.

Lately I only log on for PvE daily and half my guilds weekend events.

BG has graduated from college, have good jobs and pay others to do their yard work.
They have signs above their door that say “Play like a champion today”

Most companies welcome and encourage player driven content and activities. I have seen player driven scavenger hunts, races, even XvX tournaments for gold rewards with team buy in. For a company to discourage player driven content would be silly, its a game they developed and they want their costumers to enjoy their game.
Where else can you dual XvX in the game right now? I personally dont dual, but at the same time I don’t interrupt it either.

I am certain an axe or sword can break through a door, and the more upgraded the door is the longer it takes. I dont see a problem with pvd

Sardonia.8196:

What I do not understand is why these transferred guilds did not go over to SoR. It would have made for a much better and close matchup. BG already had decent coverage and SoR was lacking. WM and others stated they transferred because the fights got boring, well I do not really see much of a difference now. Same thing just different tier. I think if they would have gone to SoR, it would of been better for everyone involved.

You do not get anything for winning anyways and the only thing left it to have good clean even fights. Perhaps it is just me, but to each their own I guess. Congrats BG on the win this week

SoR needs to quit being greedy and offer guilds assistance moving over and getting set up. When a guilds wants to move, and everyone cant afford it, chances are those that cant afford it will leave the guild. Any sensible guild leader will want to get everyone over asap

Waha has left and hurt JQ. Now you realize first hand what it was like when SmokeeGee left. Just gotta bounce back and keep pushing

Hope you enjoy your stay on BG and find what you’re looking for. Ignore the fools that want to hate

All this chest beating by everyone…

We all know that success in WvW depends on sheer numbers. It’s not even debatable. The bigger zerg wins, the more heavily stacked server wins. That’s WvW. So what is everyone bragging about? I hope we at SoR, or on Blackgate, or on Jade Quarry, are not under the impression we’re more skilled than anyone else? Please…

You disagree? Please indicate to me a server with a low, medium or heavy population that has ever beaten 2 “Very Heavy” population servers, and then climb into a higher tier. Regale me with stories of how this plucky server with next to no coverage was able to claw its way to victory through sheer skill and strategy alone.

Go ahead, it’s Sunday and I did all my housework. I’ll wait.

We just beat off the big BG zerg on BG BL

Sounds like you enjoyed yourself

Cameron.2315:

Silly zeon :P lol

Are you gloating about beating an up leveled with 2 of your server mates near by, or am I missing something?

Last time I was a bronze invader, I got slapped

WvW and AoS resort to dropping siege and staying in the “safe” area

We need to counter your zoom hacks and teleport hackers somehow…

What a quality reply, way to advocate cheating. Someone cheats so kitten it, lets all cheat eh? I have never went into SaB, I have no zoom or teleport hacks. Besides that was Screens of an SoR guy flying through the air.

Sarcasm is not interchangeable with ironic. Dictionary.com ftw

Bad idea. There would be few super stacked servers, leaving the other ghost towns.

This is the state of wvw which is why so many of us have left after the patch.

This was the state before the patch, you just didnt see them all at once

Its like a shotgun, the closer you get the more deadly it is

nchandler.3697:

My account was preordered and never touched because my computer couldn’t run it. I finally get a new computer, find out my account’s been hacked, spend three days with customer service to retrieve it, try to log in to find that the account was suspended due to suspicious activity, spent another two days with customer service to get it unsuspended, and now this. I seriously haven’t even gotten to play yet. Yes, my account was hacked, so it’s possible that the gold spammer who hacked the account used an exploit. HOWEVER, I’ve consulted support about the hack, and I should NOT be held responsible for YOUR COMPANY’s security flaws.

I would greatly appreciate if you would review my ticket. I do not want to spend three more days waiting to use the product I payed for ages ago.

If Anet had security flaws, dont you think there would be alot more that got hacked and not just you. Sounds like you went to a bad web site, thats your security flaws.

So says the JQ transfer from Blackgate. Nothing else needs to be said bandwagon boy.

Thanks for playing

Is that supposed to bother me? I play GW2 to have fun, I’ll stay on JQ as long as they put as much effort into WvW as I do. If they just stop trying I will leave. When I log on I get in TS, I run siege, I will stay in a tower for ages just to keep a look out, I’ll stay in a tower building siege for hours while others are out collecting bags and having fun.

But I dont have some misguided allegiance to a server because of internets honor. Who gives a kitten ? I will give my all to JQ and EMP because they are worth giving my time to. If EMP turned into a PvE guild I would leave. I wouldn’t think twice. Just as I would expect to be kicked from the guild If I didnt make any effort.

So yeah sure I jumped on the bandwagon and im having a blast.

Way to ride that bandwagon and blatant at that, now thats high quality

I have said this as well. It wont matter if BG drops down to T2, who ever comes up wont change what has been the norm. It will continue to be 2 and 3 fighting for 2 and 3. No single server atm can match JQs coverage of numbers.

SoR and BG need to constantly push JQ all week long if we want to have a closer score at weeks end

Game makers seem to underestimate the amount of people looking for a great PvP game. Killing NPCs that do the same ol thing every time gets boring really quick

SoR and BG need to double team JQ. JQ thinks numbers=skills.

BG wasnt as full as most would like to believe. Before the 2 guilds left, the q time on reset nights was about 30-45 min. on all the bl, now its about 15. We even would have an outmanned buff or on the edge of it about 10pm est.
Until someone can show some hard numbers what any server has for population, its all pure speculation. On the other hand, I heard JQ login server went down a few days ago due to a full server.

The only way for SoR or BG to beat JQ is to quit the bickering and constantly push JQ week after week. It wont matter who comes up to T1, JQ has superior numbers to put on 2 fronts, have people watching towers/camps and scout the enemy. JQ will gladly sit back and let the bickering continue knowing that at the weeks end they will win by 40k+

TBH This is not a easy since both BG and SoR consider the other as a weaker enemy.(comparing with JQ)
I do enjoy fighting with JQ. But when you lead 1/3 manpower of the server, you have to think abt ppt instead of looking for pure fun. Its not rational to hit the tough rock when you dont have too many chips on hand.

For the last three hours I mainly attacked BG at EBG. Not because I hate BG or afraid JQ. Just because it makes sense.

I was there in EB. I know its not easy, but if your allowing JQ to have half the map while the other 2 forces fight for 1/4 of the map it only extends JQs lead. The only way to take the lead is to constantly attack the lead, otherwise SoR/BG is playing for 2nd

This in a nutshell . It would take an actual alliance to beat JQ at this point. Problem is 3rd place would really get the shaft

At the end of the week, the scores would be much closer and anyones game. Otherwise it will continually be JQ winning by 40k+, while SoR/BG fight for 2nd

Not only do we 2v1 BG, we also now have Devs fighting for us.

3vBG!

What better place to chech skill lag then with the biggest zergball server!

I"m confused, which is it

Fixeon.5076:

The facts are this: JQ can take 1st place without trying. BG can take first place by burning themselves out. Lets not forget you guys took first place then took 3rd place the week after it. You cannot sustain 1st place. SoR could probably do the same thing as BG but that is not our playing style. We are not going to force people to log in for 16 hour shifts for 4 days in a row to make sure we get 1st place for a week.

SoR hits JQ just as hard as they do BG. And JQ hits SoR just as hard as they do BG. On SoR we boast we have the best NA… Maybe, maybe not. But I have to say we have the most resilient NA. We push people off of BLs every night… Yet I have never been pushed off of a map. (until people start logging off for the night) We have had a few bad nights as all servers have. So I shouldn’t say it never happens but it is very rare that we pull out of a map.

At the end of the week we don’t care if we are 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. You know why? Because every week we are getting stronger. And we have fun playing. As a game should be. If you treat a game as though it is a second job, I sure as hell hope you are a professional gamer and are actually getting paid for it. Because at the end of the day bragging rights are only relevant in the present. A few weeks, months, or years down the line things will change and no one will care that you won.

or this

Doomdesire.9365:

Lots of overtime was had. Many major guilds on SoR also ran NA events in Asian time zone(people were told to wake up early if they are on the east coast). It’s actually become the norm now to help out our Asians who lack the numbers until we get more transfers.

urzen.7096:

I don’t know about yall, but this is getting kind of boring.

I almost prefer culling to what we have now. At least with culling the opposing server couldn’t hightail it the first chance they saw someone. I’m so tired of looking at the backsides of the JQ and BG players.

You got to know when to hold`em, know when to fold`em. Know when to walk away, know when to run

We somehow ended up in this really huge freakin’ zergball, then I had to bail. We were only meaning to auto attack gates down with fists. Then we had to upgrade to lvl 3 fists which were golems. Then mindless throw ourselves at doors and see how that goes. It was quite amusing, at least when I was on. Keep in mind we are all here for entertainment, and if you can auto attack down a door to save 48 silver on rams for two sets of gates, mise as well right?

I got the footage of us crackin’ through bay and hills I believe. We were going to siege up hills and make BG spawn side our spawn again like last week. Yet, we opted not? Last night we had like massive numbers on map as well, well at least form our guild. I think we had 40 on map in one team! That was ridiculous! Then you add in all the randomly guilded ppl out there, I was like, this was outmanned when we came in…

The huge zergballs that have formed are quite annoying, I am dreading reset night Regardless though the fights last night were quite fun for all of us on SoR. TW has opted to start leaving the zerg and dropping commander tags in an effort to break off from the zergfest but even that proves difficult. All we can do is hope Anet can fix the functionality of commander tags so we may once again run as guilds again.

I would like to see a guild emblem commander tag only visible to guildies.

Synyster.5894:

What to do hmmm..

That first SS is epic, I love this new patch.

Your zerg ball is so big, it takes 2 commander tags to keep them from drowning in the sea of green dots.
I have yet to see the 40-70 man open field BG zerg ball ss though.

Some say this is the best patch, I am getting rubberbanding constantly and the skill lag is worse then ever. Hell, it takes me 10-15 sec to move to a spawn point after dieing in around a big battle. I turned the graffics all to low and get 20-30 fps is big battles.

This is unplayable, I cant even get though tower doors let along fire off skills. Its like Im totally unsynced with the server. I see others rubberbanding every where.
At one point during a big battle , I was tring to exit a tower which after about 30 sec I decided to go upstairs and jump off. I was close to the front of the tower getting ready to jump when I appeared outside the front door half dead. Oh kitten, I try to get back in the tower but couldnt, when I finally did I had about 4 different debuffs smack me all at once including a confusion. Then I appeared back outside the tower, which was after the battle, and everyone around moved indouble speed to stack on the commander at which time I was disconnected from the server.
When someone says buy a better PC, we are looking at you ANET. You have destroyed the playability of your game. If your game is unplayable, people wont play your game

The biggest disappointment in the siege deployment is Anets failure to respond. Im sure hundreds of tickets have poured in with no response. Its could be anyone from any server. Weather it be someone from bg to “help” them win, from sor or any other server to see jq finally looseor someone from any server that isn’t happy with Anet and the problems of wvw. In the last case, what better place to show Anets unresponsiveness then the T1 leader. In any case we can (atleast most) can agree that its uncalled for

Zolihan.8674:

The whole commander system needs a complete overhaul. Refund the 100g and strip the dot and introduce a better system.

Guild only commanders. Only people in the guild can see the commander tag. So guilds who run on a map can keep to themselves if they wish. This would hopefully reduce the number of commander tags on one map, where some refuse to take theirs off.

How about a guild icon commander tag?
