Happy home allows growth. Stability is the most important thing for longevity.
Different people find happiness in different things, that’s what I’ve been trying to say.
I’ve been happy playing on BG for months now. I’m still playing here even though I usually can’t find fights that fit my playstyle. I’ve sacrificed my own personal progression just to stay on BG. I’m a worse player for having spent so much time trying to participate in these big zerg fights with SoR and JQ and KN. But I’ve still done it because I’ve felt a strong sense of loyalty to a community that doesn’t feel like a family.
Agreed, to each their own.
Quite frankly, I pity you. Every night I log on and have absolute certainty of laughing until I cry, gaining 200-300 badges, and being part of an amazing community of hundreds of people from around the world.
Blackgate, in all seriousness, you need to drop down a tier or two and regroup. We don’t want any of your guilds, we want you to galvanize as a server. Form a real community, work with each other to develop strategies, lose the kitten-talking fairweathers and come back.
We’ll be waiting.
Your condescension irks me but whatever.
You assume that everyone wishes their server community was like yours. That seems so arrogant to me.
I don’t think Blackgate has a family vibe and I’ve always liked that about the place. It’s one of the reasons I’ve stayed for as long as I have win or lose. No one ever asks Riot to do anything. No one expects anything from me or the people I play with. I like that.
I want to play on a server full of people who just want to kill people in video games. I want to play with people who don’t want to zerg. I don’t want an online family. If you do that’s fine but know that not everyone is like you.

ND is down to 30+ people from their 900 in IOJ.
That’s more to do with the fact that they moved too many times. IOJ to EB to SoS(split into 2 groups half went to KN)others to BG.
They are still a great bunch though. <3 Never Die.
Helioz and HIRE speak very very highly of them.

Anyone got a score update?
Thanks in advance.
We’re the underdog that will never give up.
Look on the bright side, you may be the underdog, but at least it isn’t due to lack of population. All of the problems you have can be fixed without recruitment.
Actually we have way less numbers than SoR & JQ do now. But look at how close Blackgate comes to competing with these two overly stacked servers.
We’ll always fight the good fight no matter what position we are in or how many players we are lacking. I truly WANT SoR & JQ to get more transfers. Other than myself, I know there are plenty of other Beastgater’s that are looking forward to farming more badges
I suppose that is true. If you include the normal people not showing up on map because BG BL has essentially been SF BL for about 2 weeks.
Last time I checked Sorrow’s Furnace isn’t in T1.
Thats how bad BG is doing.
Blackgate was able to beat JQ so if we’re so bad what does that say about your server?
Wow….just wow….
Can JQ and BG stop double teaming us on Bays in JQ and BG borderlands simultaneously. Then JQ caps SM whilst we jump borderlands trying to save those two Bays. This double teaming on SOR has to stop.
Seriously BG needs to stop complaining about double teaming, it makes BG seem like very poor losers. There is no alliance between JQ and SOR, if we did why does JQ keep attacking our back doors. Bloody buggers we are supposed to have an alliance and double team BG. JQ stop attacking us so we can really double team BG. This sounds ridiculous just the same as BG complaining about being double teamed.
Hang on bro, lol… your first paragraph asks for JQ and BG to stop doubling teaming SoR.
Then in your second paragraph you say that BG needs to stop complaining about double teaming because it makes them look like very poor losers.
You fit right in with the rest of SoR!
xD
Do I really need to spell this one out? No wonder IKEA’s tactics are so linear.
Why not give points depending on the population of your opponents across all BLs.
If you are fighting a server during a certain time zone with 400 players max across all 4 BLs and your opponent only has 200 across all 4 BLs, you only receive 50% of your tick(this is per server). Just to make the math easy if as a green server(at 100% strength) you have 100 points from blue across all 4 maps(who is 50% strength across all 4 maps) and 200 points from red(who is 100% across all 4 maps) your modified ppt is 250. And to clarify each corner is “home base” to the server that starts there, assign that up to each color so you know who you are “taking points” from and how to modify ppt.
If all 4 BLs are full for all 3 servers, each server receives 100% of their tick.
Honestly, there needs to be a system where all the servers are competitive, not just the top 3(and even right now, even the top 3 aren’t all that competitive). Creating it so you can’t tick hard against underpopulated servers would help a lot with that.

Hearing some of the tsym in ts it’s becoming incredibly clear that they were the community builders on sos. They weren’t the problem on that server.
So they aren’t hardcore and have a fun relaxed attitude while still being competitive and it just isn’t about winning. You’ve just described every sor guild.
Remove downed state is an easier fixed. Problem isn’t necessarily damage, but a 5man will be able to assist and focus people down, but they can’t finish fast enough before the enemy is power rezzed or rallied off some stupid pve mob.
Remove downed state in wvw and you will see the zerg split up.
Wouldn’t it be interesting if instead of server v server v server , it was team v team v team.
Cut the maps from 4 to 2 and you create a roster of max players then go at it. The guilds/players are responsible for managing their roster and coverage on a much smaller scale.
It would create a lot of dynamics as rosters and teams would change a lot. Then rank the teams as you rank the servers. It would be a lot more interesting I think and give all teams instead of 3 servers an opportunity to play for the title of champion.
Who knows what JQ has done, don’t think anyone has mentioned them anywhere. Far as I’ve seen they’ve gotten majority of their transfers before free transfers were closed.
(edited by Jahn.7019)
considering that bg has lost again for 6 consecutive weeks, i want to know from always die(nd) and running man(merc) if they are going to pay to change servers again to try to get 1st place. legit question. no flaming pls.
Why do you post the same question every week lol.
Why does JQ hate them so much?
I don’t even think it’s bad the decision they made, they got a free transfer and they wanted off SoS, it’s a no loss trial of a new server.
(edited by Jahn.7019)
I’m pretty sure everyone likes to win, but is winning the only reason you play?
You’re asking the wrong question.
While I haven’t been privy to all the meetings, I’ve been in a couple of them and winning, ppt, or the score is never brought up in the transfer meetings beyond the leaders saying in essence"only come here if you are looking for a challenge, it’s not easy and it will always be an uphill battle"
And the way individuals behave against the enemy and the way they behave amongst themselves are two completely different things.
(edited by Jahn.7019)
Problem is, BG is in essence a bandwagon server, no one transferred there because of any other reason than to win. So when you don’t win, you will disappoint people.
Outmannedgate… Thought everyone said we were stacked
You guys are stacked but your players are more fickle and only come out when you are winning. SoR on the other hand in its history has lost more than its won. They only know how to fight, placement means nothing.
PLease look into water gates on bay and the keeps as well.
There is a certain guild on JQ that is notorious for having mesmers die at the grates in bay and then rezzing through and porting their force in later.
no one has a score update for those at work?
Hey Rawnoodles,
Tell this guy to release. I am willing to have someone watch him till does. Kind of a interesting spot?
And your guys just ran down here, but when they saw my guy, they ran toward the tower.
That really how you wanna get bay?
EMP is notorious for using mesmers at the water gate and rezzing through.
How about a good ole neutral score update.
I doubt this is really BGs last hurrah but if it is then what a way to go.
In actuality this is probably just certain players and guilds overplaying to settle the masses and to prevent other guilds from jumping ship.
Smart move really but not sustainable.
Combining the holidays and the diminished game play with the fact that some BG guilds played 24 hours shifts, you guys put forth quite a display this weekend. But can you sustain it is the question.
Impressive if you can, silly to go that hard if you can’t.
No guild in Blackgate is doing 24hour shifts get off your little cry horse
Technically I have been commanding/assisting SoR Hills defense for 30 hours now.
I am a guild!
You’re not alone on BG don’t worry. I think it’s nice rl allows you guys to play for that long. A luxury that most don’t have.

I guess this weekend shows that Blackgate is the atheist server of T1?

2 of the larger guilds from BG and 2 of the smaller guilds from BG recently transferred to ET.
Should get in touch with them and see what they think of it.
ET seems like the destination server for free transfers atm.
A better question is if BG is content with #2 considering their guilds are pulling 24 hour shifts.
That’s just silly.
ICOA, LOTD & PRO ARE ACCEPTING 2V1’S IN JQBL. Please show your support; we are all very eager to get to lvl5trillion WXP as soon as possible.
Tyvm && have a wonderful night :’)
Be careful what you wish for…
Whip Cream and Buttercup Princess Tea Party Costume Ball Night activated by BG on BG BL. Garrison looks bootiful.
lol……
Or someone who is adamant in adhering to the rules of the game. Quite frankly, I’m surprised more people aren’t outraged about this. Why play a game with rules and systems if they are just going to get thrown out the window.
What ever happened to honor on the battlefield.
I would like to see the amount of kills a player has for their server.
This would be nice and interesting.
At this point, any info would be great.
Where is the information about the amazing WvW update that is coming?
No, I’m taking it from talking to some of the guild leaders on the opposing side in game.
They know who they are, and instead of downplaying their efforts and insulting it, you guys should be more appreciative.
After all, they are the ones pulling your server right now and they aren’t even native BG.
Show some respect.
I’m giving you guys props for pulling it hard end of the match. Give them the props they deserve too.
Some BG guilds admitted playing between 24-36 hours last 2 days. If that’s taking it easy, then we’re all doing it wrong.
Respect for pulling it off though.

GvG arenas either 10v10, 15v15, 20v20 without any stupid World of Warcraft pve obective BS would renew life into this game.
ARENAS ARE WHERE ITS AT ANET.
I mean come on, the name of your game is GUILD WARS and the name of your company is ARENA NET.
Choo was in BG tonight right? I think someone on BG made choo angry….. CHOO SMASH!
Getting on CHOO’s bad side results in your entire BL getting eatten up for the whole night.
Though on a more neutral and positive note, who has a score update
TBH I’ve only seen like 5 TW post somewhat regularly, I haven’t seen any officers post or their guild leader post in any threads since coming to T1.
And hearing Indo in TS, I don’t think he cares about what the enemy thinks, he has said it many times something along the lines of ‘If your enemy doesn’t hate you, you’re doing it wrong, your allies should love you and your enemies hate you’.
I mean half of JQ played with him, and ALL of JQ’s old commanders trained under him before they started commanding on their own(including Noodles). I think people know Indo and TW are an asset to the server they are on and a pita to the servers they are fighting. It’s the reason so many people on JQ begged them to come back before free transfers were closed(And supposedly a couple of the major old guilds asked them to come back just last week-which is both amusing and ironic). Though to be fair I’ve heard Indo also say JQ was their first home and he still keeps in touch with a lot of people there.
And he says ‘Punish them’ a lot too along with a lot of ninja afks.
(edited by Jahn.7019)
To be fair, they’ve been a nonfactor since they left SoS and went to Euro.
But yes, they are a nonfactor nonetheless.
Why can’t we all just get along?
All 3 servers have good guilds and bad guilds, good days and bad days, good people and bad people, good trolls and bad trolls.
You get the point.
And if this next WvW patch sucks, all three servers are going to suffer for it. We’re actually all in the same boat more than people think.
The cap for BLs IS 80 confirmed.
Also, if anyone is doing that then you should be able to take everything from them easy.
Full BL zerging is easy to counter. If you can’t take anything from them, chances are they aren’t full BL zerging or they are just better than you.
Very rarely does any server run with the full BL.
The only exceptions really are FOO from JQ.
Even EMP splits up sometimes.
All I know is that they were Provoked to leave. That’s why I’m asking you.
Question. Why did IKEA’s best players leave the guild to form PRO?
Wow that video makes EMP look really stupid, especially at the end when you wipe them and noodles says F this lol. Very surprising since EMP is a very respected guild. I wouldn’t be surprised if noodles gives a public apology for that display of childish antics once he realizes how wrong he was.
An apology for his antics wouldn’t offset the damage he brought upon his guild. If you watch EMP’s GvG with ICoa, you hear they only lost rounds due to outside interference from BG or SoR.
EMP can’t stand losing from the top down.
Another interesting fact is in the CHOO fights they posted 30v30 in the fraps, but the fight was actually supposed to be 25 v 25. Someone brought 5 extra people to the fight. I won’t say who but I bet you its the guild that can’t stand to lose and gets kitten y when they do and runs from guilds that they know they can’t beat.
