the DAoC effect of: run into mob of players -> stun lock -> nuke.

I haven’t got the foggiest clue what daoc or w/e is, but “run into mob of players – stun lock – nuke” is what wvw battles are in gw2 sadly.
Just have a bunch of guardians, warriors and eles stun while spamming auto attack.

DAoC stands for

Dark age of Camelot. It is an almost 13 year old game if you count beta. The game was eventually sold to EA by the creator of the game for a fat check. ANd anything that goes to EA dies and burns.

DAoC was a game from which the concept of WvWvW was taken from. There are also 3 sided RvRvR. Also some of the staff from that game moved to Anet.

Google it.

GvGers are not really an issue.

They make a minority

FearedbytheGods.8617:

The WvW political climate has switched, JQ SEA focuses SoR now because of IRON trolls and other antics from SoR.

JQ and SoR did support one another at this time, but it is gone.

IRON has become a liability to SoR.

It changes every week or so. It depends on who JQ decides should win the matchup.

Iron is not a liability. Anything that brings healthy competition to the server is a plus and not a minus.

Watch this Friday’s livestream.

Dude our guild quit. Unless youre about to remove downed state, increase the Aoe cap, and give us player vs player abilities via ranks…. Doesn’t matter what you say. We played your game for a year almost every night. Super competitively. You let everyone who is a competitive pvp gamer down. And your, “check out our living world content, I suspect you’ll enjoy it” comments are a slap in your customers face.

Did PAXA and RG core players quit or are you all anticipating ESOL and CU and playing part-time? I doubt folks went back to DAoC

COme to JQ with the greatest SEA presence in NA. We will solve all your night time cap problems.

JQ wants you. Yes you.

It took 1 year to change the BL colors. At this rate it will take 987,123,987,127 years before you see decent environmental effects in WvW.

So this is the long awaited WvWvW update Arena Net has been working on for months?
claps sarcastically

Hey , atleast they worked on addressing the most important quick fix issue, no not the group kick thingy as we all hoped, but the colorblind issue. :P

Score update. GN folks, had fun.

Im the table

CuddleStrike.8215:

Score Update!

We will be adding more liquid WXP that will be purchasable, likely with badges and some other currency, soon. As in, less than a month. I’ve made it a personal goal to improve the experience for playing alts in WvW. And to cut it off now, we are not making WvW rank account bound.

More/faster ways of gaining Wxp and ability points is always good.

Unfortunately, it will all be going to my main WvW character while my alts sit on the sideline. You know what would improve my WvW experience and encourage me to play alts? Account bound Wxp and ability points.

Account bound WXP will never happen. Rank, playtime and the specific character are all interlinked. This is the same philosophy taken from DAoC. While Anet understands that players have multiple characters, the most reward must be given to your most prized character.

Who really cares. These folks paid for the game and should be allowed to decide what they do.

IUt was designed for the color blind which in regard is fine and fair but on the other, should have been an option to select or unselect

Tiesto.9084:

SoR pls def your garr ..

That color is just disgusting.

TIL Tarkus and Magikarps are intimidated by a small PvX guild that half the members of are running MF builds.

Nope, the last thing I think is “oh kitten its OCX”, more “get ready for thier CC, as they are going to run”, I think NYS/SONG are the only SEA guilds that deserve respect for what they do on field (very good comp, don’t yolo it and also will fight with even numbers and don’t run to their ACs and call in a few more guilds like OCX or HIRE). Regardless, trying to win an argument on the official forums is pretty much kitten ing into the wind, so I’ll knock it off and do something more productive at work lol.

LOL @ HIRE and OCX calling for help, Okay… Go call WM, ND or TKG to stay on you and to crash even fights I know you spent a night crashing GC’s fights against TKG, cause you love it when you have bigger numbers Also. You have no right to say ‘run to AC’s when its all you basically do. Stay in your towers!

Since when are crosses on the map at your home tower a GvG that can’t be crashed – and if GC can cause crosses by themselves it was an equal fight as /supplyinfo indicated 24 people on me in SEA last night (yeah I blob really hard). Usual pattern of engagements are that HIRE/OCX PvDs a tower, we defend with equal numbers and they wipe the first time, half your numbers log due to being incapable to cope with dying in PvP. You just run away from that point on. Also if we tried to blob with TKG (I wouldn’t do that because we are more effective in seperate forces), Flake would probably slap me upside the head and ND/Urge/XF are always on other maps so are you supposing we cross map blob?

If you’d like me to printscreen/record your blobs so you could eat your own evidence, I would gladly do it.

The way usual pattern of engagements actually work is – HIRE or OCX joins a map, we catch MERC in open field, MERC wipes. Then you lead them into a tower or keep, make roughly 7-15 Arrowcarts, then when we push in with roughly 18-20, cause we obviously never have more than 20, since MERC runs a staggering 23, yet looking at your guild roster, you had over 33 people in WvW. Thats usually how it happens, you hide in your choke points, and claim to be better from that

Also, GC runs ~15 of just GC, I could show you the teamspeak photos to prove it too, TKG is mostly very similar in size, so 15v15 + MERC with 23, then “additional pug friends lets say to be ezmode, an additonal 2, make it a flat 25” 15v over 30? Thats your usual fight

Ahaha Magikarp! Please! I cant control myself with that powerful serenation!!!!!

We’re only wiped by HIRE when they run in the late NA map zerg when we are still getting our numbers in (~5-6pm GMT+10), and since is defending against consistent PvD “running to towers” is because we always are defending open field near towers. You’re just kitten that we can’t let you guys fight against doors on a consistent basis. Defense is more important than defense, and if yo have less numbers ACs are acceptable – but often as not when fighting HIRE/OCX that isn’t the case.

And we’re only wiped by MERC when you guys get SEA to log in and enforce you, so we are hit by over 45 ppl. Ya, AC’s are acceptable with less numbers, however even if you have more, you will still retreat to a choke and build more AC’s than we have numbers.

Don’t worry, One day i’ll call for support to even out our numbers, and ofc, you’ll be in your tower We already know you need a full map blob to port to save anyway, its how we so easily distract you to recap something, We send 15 ppl to go hit bay on your bl, you port ~45 ppl over, and we cap something with the other 20 since you left something unguarded!

I saw a boatload of merc lastnight SEA time. Most of the time they leave our roaming group alone but when they dont, oh boy

Wow that looks kind of bossy lol. We in JQ are more of a senate not a dictatorship.

JQ = Master Yoda
SoR = Obi kittenenobi
BG = Darth Vader

You should not say such things. It could get you an infraction.

Vader was an idiot, but.. no wonder. He is just a slave kid who cries on his girl friends shoulder because of sand in his boots instead of getting her laid.

http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2013/02/battle-of-hoth/

BG isn’t that bad.

Hahaha that was a funny link
________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________

Vader realizes the opportunity at hand for an end to the Rebellion. Yet his bumbling fleet admiral leaves hyperspace too close to Hoth, losing the element of surprise and allowing the Rebels to activate the shield. Vader rolls with it (after killing Admiral Ozzel): He orders a ground assault on the Rebel base with the sound objective of destroying the generator that powers the shield. Once the shield is down, the Star Destroyers that make up the majority of the Imperial Fleet can launch the bombardment the shields prevent. Vader further orders that no Rebel ship be allowed to leave Hoth alive.

Sounds simple, right? Alas, Vader’s plans are at odds with each other. Vader jumps into the Hoth system with a handful of Star Destroyers; only six are shown on screen. That’s got to enforce a blockade of an entire planet. His major ally is the Rebel energy shield itself, which bottles up a Rebel escape to the Ion Cannon’s line of sight. But Vader doesn’t seem to realize the shield’s ironic value. Once Vader orders the shields destroyed, he lacks the force to prevent a pell-mell Rebel retreat.

A smarter plan would have been to launch TIE fighters against Echo Base — since aircraft and spacecraft can get past that Rebel enemy shield — to lure the Rebels into an evacuation from Hoth through their shield’s chokepoint. Concentrating the Imperial Star Destroyers there would lead the Rebellion into a massacre. At the very least, Vader has to sacrifice the ground-assault team entrusted with bringing down the generator powering the Rebel shield for a laser bombardment from the Star Destroyers.

Vader does none of this.

I’m guessing so they can claim they did work on WvW.

LOL i had to make this meme

What I would like is for the PvE dragons to drop WvW Respec stones which can be sold and traded. If that occurs, we will create another revenue stream from WvWvW players to the PvE crowd.

The problem is 30 arcane is a must have. It is also good to have high arcane. Then the problem is high arcane is a must have for the DnD ele. But why the fix when its not broken?

I can outlast guardians. Infact im far from squishy. Also i can deal a good amount of damage, so not really sure what the OP is on about.

Player Character.9467:

Looks like you found some people that still didn’t get the memo that quitting the game still gives the other person loot/exp and gives you a death penalty.

Dont forget those that also jump to their deaths to evade you

“some call me a Beater”

Now stop beating-off :P

Deli.1302:

Lol this guy is from Dragonbrand. My guess is SoR or BG has approached his guild and is offering to pay them. I know SoR has been making their rounds with the oceanic/sea guilds in T2 recently, not too sure whether BG has been doing it as well (though I wouldn’t be surprised if they were).

The state of NA T1 is just plain sad.

More like the implosion of Dragonbrand

DB got cheated by an 18 year old.

Titan wins an award this week for “Longest wall of text capable of inducing seizures”

Oh wow. I tried to dig my eyes out from my socket.

I havent been able to locate any patch notes as well. But i think they should be up very, very soon.

Score update. Good fight tonight in SEA timezone.

Here is my friend’s dog. Not really that friendly with BG

Crimson Riddles.3892:

Pretty sure they back it up every night against every guild on SoR, even while they are outnumbered :P

MERC? Outnumbered? When?

When mum confiscates their modem

A server that has no PvE zones and is an entire PvP fest like the DAoC Modred Server is must have.

• We will need someone from Anet to verify if this something that is easy to implement. If it is easy to implement then why havent we done so

C.Damage has become more important to overcome in WvW. Lemongrass has become very popular now, even for me.

Centrix.4065:

A few more days to go though ^^

I need a calender

WOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I swear it doesnt feel like 1 year though. Its like just yesterday when Beta weekend was here and we were noobishly taking SM with swords,magic and pistols.

Congrats ANet. Well done, may year 2 bring greater joy for WvW

MasterYoda.8563:

In game chat box type /ip you get the server IP you’re on.

Thanks mate!

Is there a way to test the ping now in office without installing the game. ? I just want to see the latency over here.

So i wasnt the only one.

Anyone know what IP add. i must ping to check the /ms response time?

How is everyone doing? Just dropped in to say hi

Rhaegus.8924:

Please stay classy [aco]

LOL at comment “Give me some suga” hahhaha

Lvl 50 would be the very min. And thats a fully geared lvl 50.

Most of the time, lowbies are going to get bursted for 14k damage and then qq post on the forums about balance.

But rangers have unicorns

You just have to abandon the map sometimes due to the excessive lag.

Does anybody know how much it costs to purchase medium sized (200-300) SEA or Oceanic Guilds. I was thinking around 12,000 gold?

LOL this post made me chuckle

Pinko.2076:

Proof Maguuma worst server NA.

If we arbitrarily assume that

1st gets 3 points,
2nd gets 1 point and
Last gets 0 points,

we base the formula that

11 Matchups so far since RNG was introduced (no.12 is current)

So

[(2*3) + (4*1) + (5*0)] / (11*3) = 10/33

Which = ~ 30.3% of total potential points.

Not too shabby i say.

JQ

[(4*3) + (2*2) + (0)] / 33 = 48.5% of total potential points

BP

[(8*3) + (2*3) + (0)] /33 = 90.9% of total potential points

Disclaimer : My maths is flawed and my assumptions bad. Let us not forget rng can play significant roles in determining final scores.

Doomdesire.9365:

Does anyone else find it interesting that one person decides the matchup? Whoever WAHA hits during SEA time, won’t win. Waha focuses BG = BG lose. WAHA focus SoR = SoR lose.

The Asia based timezone overlaps late oceanic timezone right up to early EU prime. Even though we decide who wins, we also work very hard to demolish our enemies. If you have ever heard our TS you will know we are very well coordinated.

Lets change the mood with a trippy score update ©Fuzz

PS. This weeks matchup is insanely close.

Also its 1 year, and JQ is still kicking kitten

Fuzzion.2504:

The reason why you will not get an official reply on what exactly is being done is because

• GvG is something that will require an entirely seperate team to work on
• to create maps for GvG
• to re-balance multiple aspects of spells
• To create features for group formation
• To create a score system

Blah blah blah.

So when will this happen? Perhaps in a few years. For now, accept that windmill.

I understand all that, therefore the question is IF and not WHEN.

If GW2 can remain profitable even after Titan and CU and ESOL, then I would say most likely yes.

JQ need more Oceanic guild.

We now need for WvWvW

1x Large NA guild
1x Gigantic EU guild
1x Medium Size Oceanic guild

Bump for friends of JQ
