That’s 5 guilds right there BG picked up from KN. Not even including XF and BT.

BG without question has had the most guild transfers than any other server in T1.

I wonder when we are gonna see the results of all those transfers.

We received Meow, WM, RiSE, KOR and KO

We now have similar if not equal coverage in SEA timezone, the reason we won this week was because we held onto our objectives… I know hard thing to believe that you can cap something in OC/SEA hold it through EU and then give it to NA at T3…

This is why we won, we held 300+ ppt for 3 days straight after that massive 450 ppt NA / Oceanic / SEA by JQ on Monday night (NA) Tuesday for every1 else.

JQ flipped all the maps but didnt hold onto them into NA, I went to sleep that night 260vs260 ppt woke up to 350 ppt, our EU had done a great job in holding and upgrading keeps/tower.

Reason BG has been so successful and survived is our coordination between guilds who are used to working together and the new turnover, we used to have a big gap between NA and Oceanic where JQ would capitalise and take all our stuff, now with MERC starting on the dot Oceanic timezone, eliminate your inefficiencies and win.

I for one am sick of the toxicity coming out of our opponents whenever we win / do well, maybe reflect on this as a server and think about it, maybe this was the reason WM, Meow, RiSE, KO, KOR chose BG over SoR and JQ.

Found this nifty post from our 4/26 thread, interesting comments from this fellow in regards to the organization BG has(wish this was still true). Also interesting how hes sick of the toxicity from his competitors when they won, sounds very similar to what BG is doing to SoR. Its quite an interesting read tbh, read through it if you have the time, BG was practically begging for SoR to get guilds for empty time slots back then! I’m sure you could also answer that BG denying OT question from earlier in that thread as well!

lol. You just earned your Girl Scout Troll Badge with that one. congrats.

Thanks! Without the help of BG I could never of accomplished this feat!

Complained? The other two servers told you that you totally burnout your guilds. And you did.

Just wondering why you think our guilds got burnout? Our oceanic/sea guilds still show up everyday and offer good competitions to ATM and FOO. It’s not our fault that with SoR getting a proper EU guild we are not able to compete in that time zone anymore with overtime guilds…

This does not explain your problem during NA time zone, the T3 excuse is sad when you think back to the T2 SoR vs BG months.

SoR didn’t think of balancing the tier when they accepted IRON and began getting blowout wins.

What’s wrong with BG accepting new guilds to become more competitive?
What evidence is there to suggest that JQ needs transfers more than BG?

Also sorry if 1 or 2 people gloated and hurt everyone on SoR’s feelings

lol, IRON was on all three servers when scouting, SoR at the time was 3rd place but nice try. As for the second part, do you honestly feel as if your sever needs more guilds? How many guilds are you guys up to now? JQ has received zero guilds for how long now and yet they are able to keep up with BG in ppt/score. Your server does not need any more guilds, what your server needs is organization and a strong leader which I doubt you have as BG seems to quickly devour any guild looking into moving servers. Then as quickly as those guilds arrive, they begin to dissolve. It’s quite an annoying trend to watch. BG has the potential to compete at all time slots with what they have, but there player base lacks motivation which is likely due to poor leadership.

Everyone uses ACs and will continue to do so until Anet nerfs them.

Queued SoR map zerg with 10 ACs last night

I love this game of showing off who has the bigger zerg, I can see myself in your picture!

Also we had exactly 15 AC’s not 10, We were running 2 AC’s per guildie.

Which one are you? Hahaha

The legend all by himself at the top right corner. Well kinda in the middle, but I’m all by myself at the top.

lol nice. I see you there. It was funny, cause at one point almost every AC had me targeted. I lived though =)

That turned out to be quite a fun night.

You are misunderstanding me. We are not hired help. We are here because we want to be here. We are having a lot of fun here. We have been treated with nothing but respect!

Am I the only one missing it here, did someone on BG forget to tell BT what that server is about? BG was formed purely for T1 first place, most of the guilds around you every night were purchased labor. If you think about what I just said, you would realize why BG has such a hard time keeping its players in WvW. BG is a mercenary server, been that way since they first arrived in T1 and then forcefully removed from that T1 spot so long ago. Only “Original” guild left is KnT, and potentially Icoa, that does not mean they don’t have players that have remained since inception, but the guilds around you are for the most part, “payed labor”.

Maybe it’s just me but, this week should be a full on 2 v 1 against SoR. They have been literally, asking for it! Let’s bring it!!!!!!

Watching is different from participation, you should know that preparing a gvg requires time and effort to get to form your team. Need everyone to be traited properly and geared properly. Thats where all the theory crafting comes in, some people love to experiment build synergies but this will take a lot of time to test.

For [TW] at least, we kinda just show up for the GvG’s with what we have online and skip all the technical schizzle bizzle. But that is how Indo developed TW to be.

I’m not knocking those guilds because I think they are great at what they do, but to expect a zerg guild to go and do GvG is absurd. Their guilds weren’t built for that. But I bet if you both started at the same time in a BL and said who could get garri first, and you had the WvW guild v the GvG guild, guarantee you the WvW guild will take the garri before the GvG guild.

Ah this post reminded me of the Full BL vs Full BL between TW/Fear vs Foo during oceanic/sea a month or so ago that everyone raged about not being a GvG. lol Indo and Waha bet 5 gold for the first guild to take BG’s Garrison, SoR won btw
Much respect to JQ’s sea/oceanic/Waha <3

Good for you BT, GvG is kitten measuring plain and simple. It is the fall back “come at me bro” of WvW, and hilarious when you think about the implications. First off, and I’m sure you can relate, TSYM has chewed up zergs 3, 4, even 5 times our size before because they are uncoordinated or we were better trained. We have also outnumbered an enemy and through skilled manipulation of the terrain, a well placed piece of siege, or a 3+ stage feign/portal flank were sent packing.

The point is this, if you need that balance to make sure that your kitten remains unchallenged, WvW is not your stage. Being in situations where you are outnumbered drastically, or taking a massive force against another massive force, practicing the 5 Ds of Dodgeball until one of you makes the winning play and claim victory (and bags) is what WvW is all about!

What I think you are looking for, is sPvP/tPvP. Don’t come in here and bawl when its not balanced, or your team isn’t big enough. If you had 10 amazingly skilled people, and I rolled you over with 50, who is at fault? Me for killing you, or you for parking that little SmartCar of a force in my way? Honestly, its not OUR fault that sPvP isn’t more popular. Turns out people want to play with a more dynamic battlefield, and enjoy larger, more epic, and less structured fights.

Nothing gets a team on cloud nine faster than taking a massive force out with a bare bones small op team. Try it, if they beat you, try it again! Its intensely hard, but so rewarding when you accomplish it!

Oh yea, and BT welcome to T1. Here, when asked how many you had with you, the answer is always around 10-15.

WvW is all meta game, your not going to wipe a force with a sizable difference in numbers unless you somehow come out with a new meta that no one knows what is going on to counter it or you have a bunch of siege sitting behind u. I think those days are long gone until Anet decides to change the balance again.

You say GvG is a ‘kittening measuring plain’ but in reality it is not.. If you think wiping a button mashing zerg with rarely ever any individual player skill on never even playing grounds makes your guild good; your in for a rude awakening. I think GW2 is designed as an MMO targeting a more casual crowd – not unlike WoW, but you should not be so quick to insult the skilled players that seek that level of play within the game.

I think we will see a big difference in the separation of skilled groups and zergs with the up and coming fixes of skill lag and balance in general, much like many games in the past some still live by the philosophy SKILL > ZERG. But there is only so much you can do in a young game when the odds are stacked against you in terms of mechanics, balance and lag.

Do not take this as a kittening whining post about all the things above, instead a perspective from a guild that was founded on skill for the fields of GvG.

Also don’t get me wrong – I’ve been there leading massive zergs wiping and getting wiped by other massive zergs as one of the leaders/founders of [ICoa]. That play style gets boring fast and has already burnt out a lot of the best commanders that have ever played this game. I suggest you seek something to better challenge your personal skill and commanding skill.

(the many)
- Joker’s

Good post Joker, GvG’s are a great way to prove your guild on the field. Any guild can Zergblob with 1 ability firing, a simple 15v15/20v20/25v25 can turn into quite a test for even the best Zergblob commanders. I only wish more guilds would try it, but I fear there are too many guilds out there unwilling to lose or put there guild to a test. For the most part all the GvG’s are respectful and usually bring quite a respected crowd to watch. I’d love to set up some sort of a tournament as a united 3 server community, as we are all destined to be together forever.

Dang its rough at EU time. Keep up the good fights though! However with the 50 people screens, Im sure everyone has been in those zergs before.

T1 = Zergblob for all three servers, the faster our servers figure that out the better. I personally enjoy fighting these large scale battles, no one in history has ever asked if the opposing force could even the numbers so that the fight could be honorable. We all need to accept that it’s the way of life in T1, and adjust accordingly. No one server blobs more then the other, all three of us are guilty.

SoR you cant say you have been through all of this yes you logged on to 400+ and T3, however we did not have 30-40 people waiting on every border. Not taking away your credit don’t think I am please. I am just saying if you want fights your not going to find them that often if those people cant make progress on a map.

Your right, we had it much worse. We logged in for 7 weeks of 0 ppt and fully sieged T3 keeps in T2 with BG’s zergs waiting, and yet we managed to pull the lead back every single night. Resilence is the word I’m thinking of.

Didn’t think this was T2 sorry

Makes it even worse then, your guilds should have the resilence to take fully sieged keeps then, after all JQ has been in T1 the longest.

We don’t field 30 people for every guild or have militia to get that many on each map. And yes JQ has been in T1 the longest, but we do it with everything we have.

I’m sure once SoR is gone those militia will appear again, all I was saying is some servers are more resilent in the face of adversity then others.

BG = Eat a wave of guilds, win 1 week, get stomped following weeks, wait for another wave of guilds to eat, etc etc. Rinse and repeat. The only reason blackgate’s server status is “full” is because of their stacked wvw population they’ve devoured. No idea why anyone would want to transfer there. JQ would be a better choice for guilds to go to, at least then you have a server who wants to fight.

JQ woulda been a much much better decision for BT to transfer too. I’m guessing The Blackhole forgot to mention the attrition rate they have over there. I personally am hoping they can bring a fight back to BG, but I’m really not all that confident after seeing so many guilds transfer there to die.

All this “giving up” talk. Please stay classy, SoR forum posters. Just one week ago you said JQ had given up, & here they are this week. Stop running your mouths without knowing what you’re talking about.

So BG has not giving up? I’d love to see you guys prove your point as I cant seem to find any guilds from your server mounting any resistance on any map . At least JQ has continued pushing during Sea and NA when possible.

All your PPT are belonging to us (JQ garrison too).

Grats on fighting doors.

It’s a shame really, BG/JQ are NA servers with NA guilds but yet they force us to PvDoor. Sounds like a server with a lot of heart!

No one forced you to pvdoor.

I find it hilarious that people willingly choose to fight doors/guards and then turn around and complain about fighting doors.

lol how did we choose? We gained 1 Euro guild and now everyone stops playing. How many guilds is it up to now that Blackhole has taken in? Maybe its time to rally those forces and start fighting again. Actually did most of them stop playing on BG? Seems to be the common trend for guilds transferring to the Blackhole.

Nope sorry Leto. I know we’re both old and getting senile, but it was indeed Bay. Interestingly enough, that event and the ugliness that followed may have created one of the finer server rivalries in the game. I know it goes much deeper then that, but it may have been the catalyst.

lol was def. the catalyst, I remember it quite well. It was either our first or 2nd match up against each other and it was all respect and love before “The Event”. After the posting it became serious business, and it stirred the hornets nest on SoR which in turn got BG all roused up. One thing lead to another and now we are arch nemesis/lovers of one another.

Be careful what you wish for. Hopefully SoR doesn’t start crying when the tables turn. While I agree that you guys are fighting hard now and BG and JQ have more or less thrown in the towel for various reasons, it isn’t always going to be like that. Hope this bravado will still be there when you guys are facing equal numbers because I do believe SoR still is probably the server to beat during NA prime.

To be honest, I hope the tables do turn. T1 needs to be a match up that all 3 servers are within 20k of one another. A server losing is much more fun then a server winning, don’t get me wrong as I enjoy the much needed win we have earned over here, but if its gonna cost SoR good fights then I’m all for JQ/BG getting guilds to counter our EU/NA.

I doubt it. From an outsider’s perspective, IRON seems like stand up guys that aren’t out here for ego stroking. They came to NA looking for a different experience and to help move a top tier server into the #1 spot. They scouted all three T1 servers and made their decision based on where it seemed like they were needed the most. The thing is, I don’t think they expected it to happen in the very first week. Now they’re looking around scratching their heads with their primary goal already accomplished, and they’re not finding the fun encounters they were hoping for. Hopefully that changes sometime soon.

If anything, this proves how precarious WvW server balance is in this game. I think morale, driven primarily by a player’s perception of their server’s ability to win, has a larger impact on WvW participation than many people realize.

There is a lot of whispers of the EU servers doing a bit of shuffling. I’m betting IRON will get some good competition here in the next few weeks. Once they arrive I’m hoping both BG/JQ’s NA can start showing up on a regular basis again, gets boring doing all this PvDoor during NA.

SoR better watch out, we are only 26k behind and we made up 15k last night, it’s still anyone’s game! We ticked at 400+ during late SEA too.

For the health of T1, I truly hope this is the case. JQ’s resurrection last night was great to see, looks like T1 is starting to shape up into a competitive match again which is certainly nice.

Man did SoR pick up a few NA guilds too? I know they got Iron which is EU right. The NA coverage has always been Good… above average to good, but right now their NA is just crazy I swear every maps got 50-80 everywhere you look. Not hating mad props lookin good in na lately. I hate that all of jq NA guild gave up and jumped over to dragonbrand because sea time still goes strong if only we had some na again. I had a 2 minute queue on bgbl last night for the first time in who knows how long. Not counting reset night though

What you are facing is the normal NA guilds that we have always had, I’m really not sure why you guys are throwing in the towel. About an hour or so ago JQ had 4 keeps now they have 1, taking a waypointed bay on BGBL received zero resistance from JQ. You guys are either too fickle to fight, or desperately need to readjust your strategies. All this pvdoor you are making us do is kinda embarrassing as you both are NA servers, giving up during the NA timeslot.

Yeah, my computer can play any game at near max settings…except guild wars, so I opted to just play with army figure settings to remove the lag. The game play makes up for the un-optimized engine they run.

BG was outmanned on SoR BL last night? Really? BG had a medium sized force there taking towers (and chasing me around).

But, to answer your question: I’m a JQ die hard.

lol no, BG was def. not outmanned on SoRBL, this group averaged around 30-45 bags with 10-25 wexp per player. Overall we nearly met our quota for the night.

Thanks to all the SoR and BG who came out to play on SoR borderlands last night for NA primetime and beginning of SEA primetime. And I mean ALL of the people who came out: all 50 bajillion of you.

Outmanned buff is my friend. Never once had to pay for repairs and gathered stupid amounts of rare and exotics.

Sorry I don’t have video of the TW led 40? 50? player zerg that chased my five man group all over the map. Also sorry I don’t have SS of our party chat because it involved a lot of “Are they still back there?” and “They found us! flee!”

We, who are about to eat your yak flesh, salute you.

Were you the outmanned JQ or the BG? Either way I applaud you guys for going onto SoRBL as not many guilds attempt it anymore other then for reset. I apologize for any property damage that may of occurred during your stay in SoR.

Does anyone else feel like SoR should break up their NA?

It’s getting tiring now.

Go into one BL you hit CHOO.
Go to another BL you hit FEAR.
Go into another BL you hit TSYM.
Try BL #4 and you get TW.

That’s not even including all the other WvW guilds that they have.

Why should they break up?

Ty btw.

We play on NA servers. We have NA guilds. Your a NA server with not many NA guilds that relies on non NA coverage why should that be our problem. The way I see it we are the normal server here.

Isnt it funny how all last thread that you guys on Sor wanted Eu coverage to BALANCE wvw and thought it was great that now you have 1 that everything is balanced yet your NA is stacked to the hilt , and you all cry if its suggested that just maybe you should take your own advice and and balance out NA for the betterment of wvw T1 as a whole.

Sounds more like you just want the easy ride like JQ had for the last few months and have a stacked server to roll everyone.

Why would our core NA guilds break off? Those guilds listed have been together for 7+months pushing for T1, most of us are quite good friends with one another. SoR has always had a solid NA, starting from rank 17 to rank 1. At one point in time, our NA was the only coverage we had and yet here we are in T1. As tough as it might be to take, SoR will not be splitting any of its NA guilds off. Might be time for the ones complaining about SoR’s core to start recruiting for a better NA to counter it.

Didnt TSYM join like 1-2months ago? :S

lol yes they did, but they were there in heart!

So, forum warriors, what if I told you all of the reasons that you love SoR are the same reasons that I love Blackgate, the same reasons I have been there since launch, and the same reasons that I and my guild come out to fight every day? What if I told you that we take donations from guildies in order to help guilds who can’t get all their players over? What if I told you that yes, we absolutely play more hours to offset our coverage because we care about handing off good maps and helping out our other time zones? What if I told you that this is a game and the character assassination of Blackgate is pretty old hat?

Come on guys, grow up a little. The week might be lost, it might not. You can hate Blackgate all you want, but at the end of the day we are just as resilient as you. We’ve been to Tier 4 and battled back. Guilds have moved here for our community and helped us rise through the ranks. How is that any different from your server? I understand the notion of trash talking opponents, but flat out wishing the death of the only servers that give you competition is pretty lame. Maybe we should make a god tier where you can run around in your maps all by yourself while JQ, BG, and DB enjoy a friendly, competitive match since you are so out of our league?

Let’s cut the crap here. There have been good fights, but the persistent chest thumping is pretty disgusting. Go ahead and try and hold me responsible for chest thumping. Go through my post history. You will find none. Maybe you could all follow my example and say, “good game, good fights, /salute” instead of posting about wanting to get +600 and having no comprehension of how unhealthy that really is for the game.

I agree with this post, all 3 of our servers have been through the thick of it and come out all the better. As for all the chest thumping, you really have not seen it from the major guilds on SoR as it is mainly our rallians excited about a win. JQ has done the same to us when we first arrived in t1, they posted there own page about how amazing they were from capping all bl’s and I know some of your pugs have also boosted about a win. Everyone over on SoR knows that next week after our IRON high has worn off that BG and JQ will be back at it again, and as always SoR will be ready and waiting for the fights from the best. Good fights this week SF/RK/KnT/Rise and whoever else I missed.

SoR is the smallest server population. It is by FAR not the smallest WvW population.

SoR=Hardcore WvW server

And as fast as they zone in, SF zones out.

JQ has a bad habit of just abandoning the BL after a few wipes.

Well, tonight we had a fun time session before coming in. We probably had about 15 people total on and went looking for the least JQ populated map and that was SoR. All 15 of us zoned in and went looking for TW fights but all we found were 15 TW bags. We saw them drop siege at one point, so since we had the camp we dropped 15 pieces of siege, one for each SF member but TW’s 15 wouldn’t push so SF’s 15 had try and take the tower. After about 15 wipes of TW around the tower our trebs finally got the wall down and those same 15 TW were in there and our 15 were once again victorious and each of us had 15 TW bags to play pacman on. Then we went up to hills to scout it and there were another 15 TW manning siege and since the SF 15 were only looking for open field fights with TW’s 15 we only stayed long enough at that and each following location long enough to realize that TW doesn’t seem to like open field fights, even when they have all 15 of them online. In the end, SF’s 15 went away with full bags and lulz.

Good fights guys!

lol, was this your wet dream?
