Guild Wars 2

Miiaah.5416:

And the smooth new sounds listening to the calming, more mellow HB 102.3 FM

I think this is the first video of Blackgate action that I participated in where I can actually find my character. A fitting coincidence for the first day without culling!

SFShinigami.2015:

Over on SF mumble we had quite a good laugh about a certain guild that shall remain nameless and their inability to adapt after this fix. It was hilarious to just kind of watch them get steamrolled because they couldn’t hide behind culling anymore.

Great 3 way in bay over on BGBL, I saw quite a few SF tags so I’m guessing you were there.

Its clear which guilds owe their open field prowess to culling. An era has ended.

Thanks for the fights on BGBL.

Blade.9317:

Score update brought to you by Feisty:

A: thank you for the score update

B: does anyone else think feisty is so cute they must be hunted down?

I heard a serial killer talk like that on CSI.

muekung.2518:

Some of your SEA guild have this plan in mind :P

Some of my SEA guilds have found a new fan.

cargan.5689:

Diehard.1432:

And SoR said they only field 25 players max…rofl

There are only 25 …there all mesmers

MM Necro army?

Someone try this. Summon all the minions.

I always knew SOR ran a 70 man zerg… they said I was crazy! They said it didn’t exist!!!!

But I believed! I knew!!!

1. Cluster their bags
2. Sell them gems for extra bank space
3. ???
4. Profit

Many Rallians died bringing you this information.

A slightly more up to-date score update

Hockey.2417:

Just an example of them working together. 12:15 am pst, JQ is attacking hills in JQbl, we are just about to take it from Sor, then a BG zerg kills us, and leaves Hills without attacking 1 Sor, or taking Hills , thanks for saving Sor’s butt, total and obvious cheaters.

Read page 2 of this thread….

And how is that cheating? Wiping a JQ group and running off is cheating?!?!?!?!? Blackgate and Sanctum of Rall would both be tanking in rating as their players all get banned if that were the case.

profitsports, what are your feelings on flamerams?

Jackums.3496:

JQ has secured themselves a relatively stable position of power.

JQ now plays the role SBI had when SBI was dominating tier 1. JQ is finally the master instead of the lapdog >.^

They grow up so fast /tear.

profitsports.5789:

we all know those guilds from sos will transfer out soon, again…

What powerball numbers should I get? Are there supermodel twins in my future? What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything?

SmokeyNYY.7841:

Correction. You guys can do great things once that fire gets lit and theirs no one around to put it out.

I was talking about JQ. I am not a member of JQ.

Its like i’m having deja vu…

If the score is any indication, the rams weren’t the cause of last weeks loss for JQ.

You guys can do great things once that fire gets lit, so don’t douse it with tears!

Liquid.9672:

Furyos.9538:

That sure was a lot of ballistas by SoR at the spawn point….

Yeah I think I counted 12 at BG spawn in EBG. SoR played there spawn camping after failing to take Valley for over an hour while JQ took it. Good thing I was able to use a skill every 5 minutes.

“If you can’t beat ’em, set up siege at their spawn and let JQ do the work”

- SOR’s little red book

elderan.2638:

Score update…

Ooh looks like I need to stock up on monster for the weekend. That is a large deficit for reset night.

Hexin.5603:

So what happened to iCoa, did they really disband? There’s a number of guys in there I have run with and know, and have respect for. I don’t know many or all of them, but to the ones I do know, I like. I am interested to know about this, please pm me

That is just a select few spreading rumors.

A handful of people did leave, but the impact was minimal. The guild itself is still going strong.

Eliteseraph.4970:

All I have to say is: kitten BG. Way to push hard for first place!

I know we here on SoR tried to make a fight of it early, but I don’t know what you guys did to get such a massive turnout of WvW players. Will be very interesting to see how close the final score between JQ and BG is.

Your NA pushed hard most of the week, but like BG’s first week against SOR/JQ in T1 the long hours aren’t sustainable.

Hopefully after the 26th patch people from all servers will be off their self-imposed breaks and we can have a kitten-fest in SM.

Any bets on how long before we crash the servers? My money is on the second 3-way in SM lord’s room.

Zen.8497:

Please pay attention. No question is so difficult to answer as that to which the answer is obvious.

There was nothing to move on from, a point was made, I had a different memory of the event, I gave my input.

Slayer Lord.5023:

Anti-JQ Trolls: “Our rams will block out your siege!”

JQ: “Then we will…..um……..fight reenforced doors with our swords?”

Unfortunately what JQ has had to deal with lately.

Real men brute force doors. /salute

Zen.8497:

Unless this is the historic grudge match please move on.

Move on from what?

Someone obviously was snacking on a bag of cool ranch doritos when the ingenious idea struck him like a karma train.

A light illuminated his figure as a choir of quaggans sang “Hallelujah…coo…” and he said those now immortal words…, “Gais, stack on the dorito!”

The rest is history.

dwahvel.7356:

why anyone would brag about coming in second place is beyond me. Blue is the worst spot in EB for sure. Seriously though do you ever see the 2nd place team in major sports brag about losing in the championship?
I don’t recall anyone on SoR bragging about coming in second place in t2 above IoJ/TC for those many weeks.

You don’t remember them bragging about being where they were (2nd place in T2) despite their lack of coverage against a “stacked zerg server”?

Mance.5640:

But we enjoyed all the back and forth nonetheless. I think all 3 sides had stopped building siege other than rams by midnight. =)

Real Norn beat down gates with their Bear hands.

SFShinigami.2015:

Thats how SF stumbled upon pantslessness. We tried to dye them with TNT.

That raises questions that are best left unanswered….

Ardon.4105:

Liquid.9672:

JemL.3501:

Why SoR is getting points while JQ and BG losing in that millenium score…this glicko system was made for 1v1 not for this.

Because it’s based on expected score and rating entering the match. SoR is gaining because they’ve scored more points than they were expected to based on their rating against JQ and BG’s rating.

He’s right though, the glicko system wasn’t made for this.

The compound Trinitrotoluene (TNT) was originally used as a dye. Sometimes things created for one use can have an explosive increase in application.

SFShinigami.2015:

ALL PANTS SHALL BE LIBERATED!

Jokes on you, my character wears a skirt!

SFShinigami.2015:

That is very relevant. Over at SF it is actually a requirement to remain in a continuous state of pantslessness.

I was wondering why two of your necros kept coming after me, they must have been after my pants…

Balefire.7592:

You know it’s gotta be legit if a staunch BG player is supporting SoR.

This isn’t even about supporting SoR, its about the data we have reliable access too.

We have models that reliably emulate the official numbers posted by ANet on server ratings. There isn’t an excuse, bar a rework of the math used by ANet.

(Provided people wait far enough into the match for ppt and scoring trends to become apparent).

Fuzzion.2504:

So the end of the week is coming and everything is looking back to usual…Jq at 1, BG at 2 and SoR at 3 with Kain fast approaching to overtake the bottom server in T1.

SOR is set to gain 39 rating, Kain is set to gain 19….

Talentless.5708:

Every day that zerging is not insulted or even complimented further brings gw2 down the path of bad pvp.

WvW is pve according to anet so…. I don’t quite know what they were thinking.

KeeZee.7312:

According to SoR BG got hundreds/thousands of players but all day BG had the outman buff on 3 different maps including their own.

5-10 ppl here and there does not = being stacked like SoR claimed the last two weeks. If BG was stacked as SoR says we are would be in third this week? But we all know you all like to make excuses as to why you were in third and kitten that Blackgate came in and took your cozy #2 spot.

According to SOR they are ridiculously outnumbered, Blackgate has population equal to JQ, and their “15” man groups are superior to the Juggernauts that are BG and JQ’s no-skill zerg hordes.

I’ll throw them a bone. Their zergs do get quite small when they get shaved a half dozen players at a time. Silly gooses, never chase single file =D

Pvp.2758:

This week is the beginning of the end for Blackgate

Do share. I enjoy reading fiction.

Balefire.7592:

Seasniffer.1763:

SoR lagball ASSSEEEEEEEMMMMMMBLEEEEEEE!

This isn’t even our final form!

SOR’s lagball gave me the power to tank conditions without taking damage like a baws. Granted I ended up in the lake belly up even though I was running southwest from the south bay gate but meh.

You win some you lose some.

I feel like Saint Nick before he sets out on christmas eve!

Great fights West of Haven and at Spiritholm.

Veritas.4792:

WRod.3856:

Le score. <3

The asura on the right is a 10/10!!

You made a typo….

It should be 11/10!

Pvp.2758:

We were trying to fight you with the 20 people we had but your 40 man zerg kept running away from us in Bay :/

We finally decided to just leave and I guess you finally decided to attack the gate so we came back. Good fights.

20 Choo in that 40+ man composite group?

muekung.2518:

Wut’s Ac/Cof weapons ? some kind of rare drop form keeplord ? xD

Its what WvWers did for gold before the bag buff.

SmokeyNYY.7841:

Man I don’t even know what my underwater skills do, and who wastes gold on an exotic underwater weapon

nobody… thats why there are cof and Ac weapons lol…

covenn.7165:

This is why I find people complaining about the disrespect aimed towards EMP so amusing. Seriously, what world do you people live in where breaking commitments and wasting people’s time is acceptable and respectful behavior?

It’s as respectful as (TW) trolling them on the forums. It looks like neither side handled this well.

WRod.3856:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

BIG NT! BIGGGGGG NT!

So… FEAR crashed a GvG, got themselves wiped and even dropped a pre-cursor?

Tears of laughter are rolling down my eyes!

SFShinigami.2015:

THATS OUR VISTA BG/Icoa YOU CAN’T HAVE IT!

Did I just hear a…. CHALLENGE?!?!!!?!?

Tarnished Coast.

Yes they may be roleplayers with an unhealthy Yak “obsession” but they are some of the nicest folks to have a matchup thread with.

Cookies and rainbows abound.

wish.3102:

Honestly I havent even seen PRX doing much of anything recently. I saw their guild like once last week, and once this week, I don’t think it will be much different from how it is now when they leave or whatever. JQ doesn’t have as many people NA afternoon time as our competition, and we have the outmanned buff up on 3 of 4 maps NA night time. Which BTW, is when BG PVDoors us and gets most of it’s points while complaining about FOO and uses them as an excuse for why they lose.

Wait… BG pvdoors while FOO is in full force? So FOO lets us cap all of your things? We use FOO as an excuse for losing while we cap your bases during FOO’s primetime?

I am so confused right now.

gaborkaldy.3210:

This game is called GUILD Wars for a reason.

You are correct, it was named after the lore conflict called the “Guild Wars”.

Oh, not the reason you were expecting? My bad.

Fine… if you don’t want a super sexy sylvari I guess I can give you a not so sexy map….

SmokeyNYY.7841:

I actually never even knew you made that comment. I was only wondering what the excuse you were going to give JQ for friday and saturday since you already gave them one for today.

Fair enough, however you asked where them JQs was at. Any sensible person would be out celebrating the greatest of Holidays today.

SmokeyNYY.7841:

ok let me rephrase it. What was “the” excuse friday and saturday?

Are you perhaps referring to this?

Manu Yaj.7946:

Manu Yaj.7946:

p.s. – JQ had the best NA prime time PPT again this week *boo yah! Props to the EB team!

So it seems SOR really doesn’t have the best NA prime time krewe. Gratz JQ on another accolade!

I was congratulating JQ on an alleged achievement, are you really getting this worked up about a comment made days ago? Thump that chest my friend. Thump it real good.

And if Manu Yaj’s claim has any merit, then Friday JQ had the lead in NA prime time. Saturday is open for debate.
