No, keep this going, people love hearing themselves talk or read their own text. ::gets popcorn::

Speaking of which do you guys ever do voice overs for some of the posters here? It’s even more fun to have a voice go along with each of the posters and use that all through the writings.

I do sometimes. For example, I read Jed’s posts in the voice of Cookie Monster. It just works.

Oh nice, and somewhat accurate!

Actually I think he’s pretty dead on

Why xfer to any server other than JQ? JQ will never die because of the mass amount of bandwagoners and frequent guild recruiting. JQ loves to recruit when they don’t get first place for a week.

If you don’t like a challenge then join JQ . There is no server cap and it just takes a few cof runs to get the gold.

JQ rushed to get all the guilds in before server transfers were pay just to get overwhelming numbers and 24/7 coverage.

Yah lets all xfer to JQ , its our safest bet for a win every week and PvDooring for life.

You know what, you are so right! We at JQ PvD at all hours. I particularly love it when I can take a team and auto attack down gates on teams. True story, I think I have some Fraps footage that I still have to cut. Maybe I can make a montage of it. Those of you who have ran with me or ran against me know this to be true. I love me some PvD! The best one was when we auto attacked down watergate garrison a while back ago. That, my friends, was absolutely hilarious and during NA prime.

To the SoR ppl that hopped down in the circle to prevent the cap for BG, you guys are handicapped, you could have let us cap, then come back and flip the keep as paper.

Maybe we would rather let JQ have it. See, we don’t like you :-P

How can you not like Jedbacca
Jeddy we should coordinate massive flame rams for all servers and make Anet a pretty picture :P (Maybe on friday before reset?…)

Think all 3 servers can get a flame train all the way around the map? If it caps at 132 on flame rams and you can only build five per x radius, you would have to somewhat space the rams apart to not have an overlay in siege. This means we’ll have like 396 flame rams to span the circumference of the map.

Too bad I work later on Friday!!!

Can’t remember what Mance runs, but Talents group is headed by him as mah NEcRO!

I hate you so much, here have this loaf of bread!

@The SBI comment when we were on SBI, we were also literally the only guild most of the time on a single BL.

@Havoc work, Mance and Talentless were both working in supply denial.

@BG BL overall, there was a lot of split coordination. Razethh and I figured if we could poke enough holes in to garrison and keep supply low, we’d eventually do something productive. In retrospect, we should have done one more suicide rush to watergate after leaving it clear and free from attack for 20 minutes or so.

@Numbers in that lord room, I think at one point in time we had pretty much almost everyone from both our servers in that room, so no one was really lacking numbers. That waypoint KILLED us though. We tried everything to hold that back :x

To the SoR ppl that hopped down in the circle to prevent the cap for BG, you guys are handicapped, you could have let us cap, then come back and flip the keep as paper.

To the BG teams on BG BL tonight, Garrison was the most epic fight I’ve ever been in to date. Frustrating that this will be the 2nd time ever I have failed to complete a map goal set in front of me.

Thank you for the fun,

Don’t worry, the real men will be out in a few hours

Little off topic but the next time you guys do something silly please record it. I would had loved seeing the all necro day…

I think we do have some of it from a flamethrower perspective, lemme dig it up for you.

Hrm..here’s wondo’s trolling north Vista one night…

ahhhh! Here it is! It’s from an Engi perspective

We post all of our videos here:
http://www.strikeforceguild.com/forum/viewforum/1978145/m/7813886

If you hear us talking derogatory about your guild or server…well…we’re gamers so I’ll give out boxes of tissue where needed. That’s just an overall disclaimer on any commentary on any of our videos.

Don’t worry, the real men will be out in a few hours

Code 5150 on the GW2 official forums, over.

So this is like the 16th time the trolls predicted BG was dead and imploding and the 16th time they were wrong.

Im sorry, who is BG?

Can’t you tell by the way I walk?

Had to get my waypoint back on hills, apparently it was stolededed today!!!

Awww cmon now, Agg should either stay BG or come join me in my kittenery on JQ I love those guys, somehow ended up liking those guys over time Who gives a kitten if someone says its bandwagoning, I consider them as my peoples…even if I tend to attack them all the time.

Hoots, that’s not gonna work. If you have known good commanders, people will still find your team. I’ve just learned to live with it. The only time that I can try to limit the size of teams is to get a second commander either of my own or another guild. I’ve never had an issue with running solo w/my guild the majority of the time, all we do is make sure we communicate our intentions.

Regardless, it is what it is, you can’t control the masses from following certain people. I’ve learned to live with it and welcome it. It also allows me to run more spec ops teams on a map. We love stroking our kitten w/small team vs small team.

I also think you’ll see a lot of teams go back to the “norm” within a week or so as well. The fact that you can see EVERYTHING in a fight is freaking amazing. So there are a lot of people still just getting in that may be rusty as well. You’ll have to excuse the zergs from all 3 servers while we all nurture and train the newcomers or older vets coming back in to WvWvW. I know a lot of us more vet commanders prefer rolling in a specific set of numbers or a specific type of group. I have actually started to PM ppl to gtfo of the team if they are bringing upleveled chars on a serious night. Sometimes that one uplvled downed guy gets multiple rallies for the opposition.

I can probably rant and ramble on along, but it’s up to our teams on all three servers to direct how we want the game play. Plus, keep in mind there are a lot of newer commanders out there at all times that you don’t know their skillset. You gotta give those guys/gals the chance as well. That may also result in a single zerg ball, or just 100 lazy ppl on your server that just want to follow a blue icon.

Whatever the case may be, it’s something that will have to be handled however the team lead on deck at that time want to manage the ppl on the map.

I read earlier somewhere on this page that someone knows for a fact of JQ and SoR working together. I find that pretty funny. You ever get that feeling like you have a really big target on your back and everyone aims for you. Something gives me that feeling all the time

Your server is currently holding the #1 rank for North America… It’s really the only thing that we as WvW players strive for along with good fights. This is where every server wants to be & the only ones that deny it are those that lower their potential & set lower standards for themselves maybe because becoming #1 seems impossible for them. I know for certain that striving to be second isn’t the Blackgate way. We’ll do the best we can, whenever we can. We will always play for keeps.

I was meaning me personally :x

Fixeon.5076:

I know for a fact that SoR and JQ are working together… You want to know how I know? Because when JQ is attacking BG SoR will cut off BG so they cant get in.

You know what else I know? I know for a fact that SoR and BG are working together… You want to know how I know? Because when Bg is attacking JQ SoR will cut off JQ so they cant get in.

And you know what. I know for a fact BG and JQ are working together… You want to know how I know? Because when one of them attacks us another will block us from getting in.

So…. If we are all working together why are we still fighting in the first place? Cant we all get along?

PS. SF thanks for coming into SoR BL after reset tonight. You have no idea how bored we have been in SoR bl the past few days. Been facing nothing but zergballs since the patch and honestly the last few days everyone has just been running from us before we even get in range. It was nice to actually have some fights.

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…

I read earlier somewhere on this page that someone knows for a fact of JQ and SoR working together. I find that pretty funny. You ever get that feeling like you have a really big target on your back and everyone aims for you. Something gives me that feeling all the time

The main problem a lot of people would see though, is the individualism that the playstyle lacks. There are a lot of teams that can’t field numbers, so they cry because of larger teams than them. There are teams that can field numbers, so they say, well, you should recruit more. Yet, the point of the game is to work as a team or a Medieval army. That’s why you see so many synergies between classes, even look at the implementation of combo fields and blast finishers.

Regardless of what the semantics are behind it, I could probably sum up a lot of arguments people have toward each other on any forums when the WvWvW mechanic truly wasn’t designed for “Guild Wars.” There’s a lot of people striving for recognition of some sort whether it is through successful game play throughout a night, a great defense played, or even winning at a GvG that has no true rules and is in an open field that almost anyone can interrupt. We would probably have a lot of tamer people in any neck of the woods being able to flash screenshots of what their guild has been able to accomplish, rather than to hear, number wars.

In any case, I thoroughly enjoy the game and the many different aspects of game play that there are within it.

Thanks for the good fights from my opponents, and the assistance from my allies,

Like a pit of death, that’s what the SoR spawn area looked like on BG BL yesterday when I logged in. I got to pop tag for like 20 minutes for all of that nonsense, it was awesome. I swear there were like 200+ ppl there!

Don’t mind Stei, your reply right now is raising his trollometer to a higher level. The fact that you just acknowledged him trolling your guild just gave him a +1.

The massive fights have been hella fun, I don’t give a kitten if everyone was zerging, it was a great way to see just what happens when slamming in to things I think at one point in time I rushed our team in to a choke filled with a ton of SoR inside of bay when I was leading for a few minutes. Everyone laughed, Jed strikes again with murdering innocent citizens of SF+JQ

I want to also let everyone know that running Havoc is definitely still viable. If you are out there trying to get wvw experience, cap the nodes, they are worth 75 points, roadmen are worth like 38 and dolyaks are worth 19. Camps are worth a pretty decent sized chunk as well. I don’t know if it changes when you are in a large group or not yet, but that’s what we were popping off in our 5 man.

I actually recommend all of your guilds on other servers to stay as one big zerg ball so I can back cap things with a smaller team while you stay occupied with our main team. It will make that teams job a lot easier when they are trying to level up their wvw skills. Thank you for your cooperation and watch the backsides of your holdings

Instead of utilizing those resources to try and farm one NPC, let the tower get capped and retake it shortly thereafter. This way you would completely avoid said tower until the “threat” is gone. In this aspect Siegerazer is doing his job in getting the tower, it’s “functioning as intended.” The purpose and goal of the NPC comm is to retake one objective to assist with building momentum for a team in dire straights. You would be better off utilizing those resources elsewhere until the paper tower is back up and running.

Does anyone on JQ play for the fights? Or just to win? Serious question.

Don’t you have to fight to win? Serious…

Well if you consider a zerg killing 10 people a “fight”. Then I know where you stand.

If you want small scale battles you could spvp. Or go out there and recruit more guilds for your TZ. But in reply to your question, There’s nothing more fun than running around in a large zerg steam rolling everything in its path. Call it what you will, fight/slaughter whatever.

I think everyone who play’s any game will play to win. If you dont then you need to re-evaluate your outlook.

Serious.

Ok, so if this is what the majority of JQ feels, then I know where you stand.

I like good fights as in something that can and does fight back and may even come close to or does beat me. Thats what I call fun. Thats what I call a fight.

And of course I play to win the fight, I guess I should’ve asked, do you more care about winning the overall match, or the battles. Screw overall because that’s just a coverage game on who has more people in a 24/hour time frame.

I have plenty of members out there roaming around for small fights, feel free to hunt SF tags as you see fit. Fair warning, you may need to bring more ppl.

It all depends on the way the breakout event is utilized. If your expectation is that a breakout event is going to make 10 players god to get that tower, good luck. Think of the services it does provide. You can relocate 50 ppl to one BL, fully supply up, spark the event so it attacks a tower. That gives you white swords, on the tower, you bypass your spawn camp and hit the keep whatever angle you would like to hit it from, but it better be fast. Since you do have 500 supplies build 5 golems or even more if you have two guilds with guild golems, timewarp the gate and do your thing. It’s an element of surprise.

The point I’m getting at, figure a different way to utilize a resource. Don’t pigeon hole yourself in to just getting that one objective and holding up and trying things methodical all the time. I see teams never thinking outside of the box and stuck at nothing.

Thundar.3910:

Great fights over the weekend, for what little time I got to play. Had a fun night hopping between BG and JQ BLs on Sunday. Now if only I could get those pesky pre-cursors to drop like everyone gloats about!

You may have a long wait Thundar. Let me explain. You see, in typical MMO design, the tougher the creature the better the loot. Anet has decided that this should apply to WvW as well. Thus we’re dropping pre-cursors for our friends on JQ and BG. Meanwhile, all our opponents are dropping for me are ruined plant fibers… Wait I take that back, one JQ did drop a white, level 15 dagger. I got 15c for that beauty!

Take that back, my plant fibers are far from ruined

One of em’ is high!

Excedrin Migraine is awesome for 2 days in a row Some pretty rough work last night on SoR BL, gg on the matchup last night.

What Raz said, anyone have an Excedrin?

I venture to these forums for one line.

Good game.

SOMEONE 5v5 us tonight stop zerg fighting!

See no one ever wants to pvp with Wedo…. XD

You know what, 5v5 actually sounds awesome! I’d be down to do that on the fly whenever!

Making sure I skip through and not read anything…

Good fights on BG BL this evening, after capping south half of BG BL it would appear that BG thought it was a great idea to rush North Hills gate with 3 Omegas and 6-7?? Alphas. With all that artillery, you guys deserved to take it We were almost at waypoint as well! Good job. Also got to do some tussling with Choo today as well, some pretty cool back and forth fights this evening there as well.

Unfortunately the recruitment tactic won’t work. We tried to rally gold to help Tsym transfer to BG to be with their compatriots, but we only came up with 7 copper :x

Esoteric.5490:

And SoR, don’t even get me started. To get some perspective, our last week in Tier 2 against them involved us scoring more than SoR and TC combined. SoR may not even be here if not for the SBI implosion, which benefited them with mass transfers from SBI and other servers, in addition to some very poorly designed rating math.

You know man, I know you were responding to an inflammatory post, but seriously, this is where you lost me and started ranting.

I’m just going to start recommending the habitual use of drugs and/or alcohol. It makes things easier to read, whether you will be capable of reading it or not

Here, let’s cut the crap before this goes like 10 pages longer. SF and Agg were testing new builds in GvG format against each other. We had done a GvG in the past vs each other and wanted to explore new builds in a smaller team format and get some field movements down. Consider it our version of workshops, only real time, both guilds are looking at different ways we view classes and builds and would like to have that self improvement. There were 15 members of SF and Agg, both our servers had an insta queue. Even when we first entered there was an outmanned buff. That being said, just even being AFK helps the map out if anything at that point to keep the buff off.

I realize that it is an open field and anyone can attack anyone, but in all the games I have played there’s always been “manners.” Anyone remember what those are in video games? The point that is being driven, is just show some integrity. As for not inviting others, SF and Agg have somehow grown close with our team leads in trolling the hell out of each other during game play. I don’t recommend this to all commanders or for the weak at heart. It’s just the FPS player coming out is all.. We were only looking to up each others games and stay competitive and quite possibly ahead of the curve.

As for PRX and SF always forming a “super zerg,” that’s a great idea, I’ll stay in contact with their GM and get this going as often as we apparently do according to that poster on this forum. I’m sure if this were for real all the time we’d see more crying.

As for the practice score Agg scored one on us I now have video evidence of SF not knowing what to do with a new build and strat setup! Thanks Jerico for tryin’ to get something going with our lil’ cross server event. Overall score now SF 3 Agg 1.

Shout out to EMP and our old foes Strike Force. You guys had us chasing our tails for a while there on JQ BL last night. Good fights, classy opponents.

Keep it positive you forum warriors.

Did we start on JQ BL last night??? kitten #8230;I know we hopped every map… In any case, we always like fighting tags we know. It’s how we say hi

LOL we came up with a fun way to counter that mark craziness. Worked about 50% of the time at least.

We had marks on the ceiling too We met our entertainment goal for last night. It wasn’t as coordinated as we normally try to get together, but ::sniff:: ::sniff:: a bonding (not bondage) moment.

Talentless.5708:

Here’s hoping BG gets knocked out of t1 soon. As a havoc/small man runner I am tired of you all hiding in towers, afraid to fight even numbers. Do you really think 5 people want to siege your kitten? We dont care. Zerg Wars is for noobs.

Doesn’t [SF] run 25-30+ Zergs? :P

Talent is part of our small squad that you usually see out there looking for the smaller fights. Main team is 20-25 + 5 mixed scouts/defense to assist defensive non-SF players + 5 havoc that has the purpose of really only killing people + 10 secondary offense on our big nights. It’s non-value added to have everyone in one team for us, and we prefer to play toward personal strengths and not have everyone run as a big ball. Everyone enjoys different playstyles, so we try to cater to that regardless if it is painful or not. Most of my members computers lock up in the really really huge fights, so we try to see if we can do more with less as usual.

…I keep asking myself, “Am I a masochist?” I keep coming back to these forums and reading, and each time I read these forums I have to queue really super epic music. It makes the forum warrior in the posts that much more hardcore.

Anyway, good match this week. BG, you have some solid teams out there, hats off to ya. SoR, I will crack that 80 man blob more on a regular basis with 30-40 SF, give us a few more days

Good fights all round in SoR BL, too many guild names to list, but you all know who you are, SoR and BG sides.

As for the 2v1 against BG on that map, guys it’s just business. I’m sure you know what was waiting at hills if anyone wanted to take it. We were trying our best to keep BG off of the map to minimize any point gain and completely ignored SoR. This happened to me last night when having to take back hills, I figured I’d return the favor today For those of you who remember, SoR held hills while BG tried to sandwich and wipe us while on inner last night, multiple times. That was really intense!! It took quite some time to recap our 1/3 last night. Today I’m glad we were able to not relive that episode two nights in a row.

Please contact one of our team leads if you find an exploiter, video and screenshots help as well. Stating it without any evidence is moot. I have, in the past, gotten full recordings and approached team leads of servers instead of making public discussion about it. These posts end up turning a thread in to 3 pages worth of bickering and a kitten for tat fight.

Fixeon.5076:

Actually TW was ripping it up tonight on SoR BL and they went into BG BL as well. I was running with them. Some great fights vs HB, LotD, SF, and AGG. Others as well, sorry I didnt mention you it was a very long night and zergs blend together. However there were a few memorable fights for us. I already commented on the 15-20min fight with HB and LotD in the south camp earlier but there was also a good fight on BG map where we wiped SF outside of bay, only to be hit from behind by AGG and have to turn and take them out and as we were collecting our bags and selling SF decided to come out for seconds and we had to take them out again.

A few people were recording tonight I am sure the videos will be up some time tomorrow. This is why I love T1 great epic battles.

I thought that after Agg and company had come in that there, there had to of been like at least half down from TW/CDS/some Choo?? I was like…“well, we could prolly take em’ there’s evenisher numbers right?” We ran out to find that definitely was not the case :x Should have probably seen if we had any other teams out there to try and match numbers with you guys. My posterior is very sore today :x

Must figure out way to battle even larger numbers now! I like having the really big open field fights, yet lately it’s been a lag ball when we face the multi-guilded groups. I hear a lot of, “I can’t cast anything.”

We lost a ton of guilds and need to start recruiting again.

It actually started as Jed Quarry, this whole Jade thing kicked off because of this chick named Jade. See, it’s a long story, we had “relations,” then marriage, then divorce… In the divorce she got entitled to pretty much everything and I’m still stuck paying alimony. Like the child support wasn’t bad enough… To make a long story longer, she took the name of Jed Quarry Industries and renamed it to Jade Quarry… just to spite me. So…to answer your question, I was the once proud owner and sole proprietor of the quarry back in the day.

So what you’re saying is you were once rich and someone stole it from you! Got it :P

Truth

So…to answer your question, I was the once proud owner and sole proprietor of the quarry back in the day.

Pretty solid fights this weekend on SoR BL. I believe running against HB with similar numbers when it was just our two teams squared up was pretty fun, haven’t gone back n forth like that properly against a team in quite some time. On equal footing you guys give me the most troubles ::tips hat::

I like Tsym, never fought with them, but they are always a tough team to take down. The ‘workshops’ as much as we joke about them, they really work for their team. I have seen a large mass of 50+ in one group just get wrecked by about like 20-25 ppl in the past, now…good luck with that. They have more up their sleeves now with higher level tactics and more thought process as an organized team, rather than an unorganized group running together. In short, I’ll tip my hat to all of Tsym. I have even adopted some of the ‘training’ items that their team has put together. Not just running past a Dolyak and speed buffing it whle we are running as a team and state we are ’Tsym’ng’ a Yak either

I don’t think any of us can judge the teams that are transferring. From what I’ve heard in PM’s from the people on other servers, there was quite some negativity being stirred around between teams. In all guild health concerns you would have to look at what can be toxic for their inner community. I know I have had to deal with “poisons” even within my own team. If it means removing yourself from the situation, then that is their call. We aren’t in their shoes, they are doing what they think is best for them. There are breaking points, and maybe those points have been met? There’s a whole questionnaire that you can run through for a teams justification, but what value would that really add to the rest of us?

Now with the transfers over to BG, those teams actually may very well make things a lot tighter. Essentially what a lot of the “hardcore” WvW guilds are doing are trying to segregate those who think they are all hardcore PvP type players, you and I are in this category, to be able to pit fights against each other.

It sometimes is easier for others to digest if they can see the mechanics of your thought process, even if it has been publicly out there for quite some time.

drwookie.6391:

Guilds on SoS can’t even stand to lose as many weeks as they won.

Say what you will about JQ, but at least the core guilds don’t hop around searching for greener grass. At least not that I recall. JQ didn’t crumble just because we placed second or third several weeks in a row.

Sorry, I’m usually nice and don’t like to stir up trouble, but this server hopping thing is just silly (especially now that an entire guild has to pay for it). Stick to your server and do your best…don’t go jumping around and then be proud of your “victory”.

And before anyone says anything….I am directing this towards the guilds that joined JQ as well. I personally didn’t ask for them (nor did I want them). While I will continue to fight alongside them they will always hold less respect in my eyes, compared to those of us that picked one server and stuck through from the beginning. Nothing will ever change that.

I’d like to ask you to put one thing in to perspective. JQ was a dying server at one point in time. The time some of us chose to join JQ was a quote, unquote “time of need.” The coverage gaps were there, some of us guilds that you speak of that are newer transfers came from the same type of situation and didn’t want to see those we have spent so much time with in game suffer like we were elsewhere. The big thing is not having anyone to play with. That’s some serious kitten right there. How would you feel being a lone team out there struggling against mass numbers getting your kitten handed to you by zerg after zerg? Does that sound like fun? Well…for our team it kinda was..for a period of time, but it gets old and stale being whipped like an animal with having multiple guilds on you, because you would be one of the last few teams out there for your server. Think about those teams that did transfer and where their home was before the came over before you make a generalization of a lot of us.

The majority of the teams you have with you now came from a similar dying situation and did not want to go through that anymore. It revived the game for a lot of gamers and made things a lot less tense. It’s a good feeling. Hell, on a personal note, I can finally do PvE content and get called names in PM’s for it now

Just somethin’ to think about man, a lot of us have been in that dire straights situation, to where your funometer is running low due to lack of people to game with. It’s a different gaming experience on a populated server that is WvW focused than one that is not.
