Word is there’s help considering coming to JQ too.
Would be prudent to put on a good show to keep them interested… In my opinion.
Or.. PvE till it’s too late. tick tick tick

I had more respect for TW when you weren’t posting. :/ You make a good guild look bad.

If you’re nice to me I’ll see about getting you an Indo autograph.
Does EMP still play on jq?

thanks for letting us keep our 1 camp TW, we appreciate it.

Let it not be said the Ladies and Lords of Rallia are not gracious overlords.

TW is in fact the most Offensive guild in GW2

Absolutely golden. I can’t wait to use this quote out of context in upcoming threads.

It was meant as a pun Bon appetit

Don’t lose sight of the basics and fundamentals of SoR playstyle. Remember that you are the best defensive server in the game

I take umbrage.

SF must be more offensive. Wait, are we talking about the game or crude humor in mumble? Bawhaha

Grats SoR, you earned it

Link us your ts so we can compare

Just wanted to say thanks to all the servers we faced on the long road to a T1 win. Especially to BG and SoS (back when…). I think character is revealed in adversity and no two severs showed us quite so much adversity as BG and SoS. Thanks.

Thanks to our Oceanic and Asian brothers and sisters for sticking it out day after day, out-manned & out-gunned but never out-played.

Thanks to our Euro crew, esp. our new friends for being the catalyst to take what our O/A crew gave us and build on it.

And thanks to our NA for your quality and perseverance, to the guilds that were here from day 1 and the ones that transferred in when we were stuck in the lower tiers… You’re the glue that holds the server together.

Finally, thanks to GSCH and Roger Rall. I don’t know what type of man it takes to get thousands of people petitioning a company to name a server after you, I can only hope we all aspire to such quality.

I’m proud to have been part (a very, very small part) of this.

And thanks again to Gaiscioch for founding this community, putting up with our crudities and finally winning us over with your calm and dignified demeanor.

Happy Birthday Roger

We aren’t actively recruiting, never have.
They are coming nonetheless, and having answers for them before they ask is best.
This situation is only marginally in our hands.

Be a smartkitten if you want.
Those transfers are all heading to us right now, it’s up to ya’ll

Whatever the case may be for each server, be transparent with the movement otherwise this fragile balance will get skewed before anyone even knows what happened.

I think it’s fair no one wants to see SoR, or BG, or JQ in a position of unquestionable dominance again purely due to coverage.

What fragile balance? There is no balance right now and balance won’t be coming to T1 for a long while. EU guilds rarely ever move to NA servers.

Look, John is one of the behind the scenes guys on SoR who’s trying to help keep things comfortable for everyone. If you guys work with him a little instead of crabbing we might actually GET balance instead of having to COMPLAIN about it.
KnT, SF, you guys can manage to act like grownups sometimes. Somebody wanna give him a whisper, we’re getting a fair-sized amount of bites from guilds outside the tier here. It’s time to end the cycle of t1.

No bagses for us

Nope!
Taking yer stuff… All your base belong to us.

That’s what ya get for watching pr0n on company time!

Fixeon.5076:

You know… we are going to log back in and BG is going to be ticking at +600 PPT, and then the servers are going to shut down really fast again after it and not come back up until reset tomorrow.

They paid the admins off with in game gold.

Currrrrsee yoooouu Bllllaacckgrrraatteee!!!

I see three rings in that screen shot. 1 ring on the eastern wall. Two rings in the center. Where did the other 2 AOE’s come from? Are you sure they didn’t AC through the door’s gap?

The outer wall ring was a dragon tooth.

I was running above the gate looking for their acs , there was no carts placed there using the usual area to aim through the hole above the gate, the only cart I could find firing at the time of the red circles was at the side corner outside as show.

But if its legit using an eyefinity setup, that would be good to know at least.

You say aiming the cart through the whole in the door like that is a legit thing yet condemn other means. Let me ask what difference does it make. In order to look through the hole above the door are you not rotating your camera and building AC in very specific spots. Sounds 1 in the same to me bro.

The difference is it in not intended. And it is adaptable so if anyone does use it this way placement of siege can be counter positioned It also gives the same result as using a hack. That in my eyes is deplorable. But apparently some have lower standards than others. SOR shall thus be the server that thinks zoom hacks are fine.

Aww hurt our feewings :’(

Arrows lose energy from air resistance (friction) only, not gravity. High arcs have longer travel time and therefore lose more energy from friction.

Another reason not to trust internet forums for your info.

Shoot one straight up. Imagine there’s no air. What happens?

GW2 might be far from reality, but shooting arrows straight up in the air for them to land on their desired target (raining arrows) has been used for over 10,000 years.

Not exactly straight up…
When I was a boy learning to shoot a bow, my pops was quite explicit about NOT doing that. Arrows do require more than the force of gravity to do their work. A ballistic path (arc) does still retain some of the kinetic energy from the bow.

I see, interesting.

I thought that with a hunting arrow, the heaviest part which is the head would always land first? and if you shoot it a great distance up in the air, I wouldn’t want to be underneath it! Those things are sharp.

The head isn’t really the heaviest part of an arrow. Well, in primitive parts of arrows it was I imagine. In a modern bow the tip is a fine balance between weight and area of effect, mostly ultra-thin razors are used to inflict as much bleeding as possible. You’ve likely heard the term Broadhead. What makes an arrow travel staight is the fletching, or feathers at the rear of the arrow. In order for them to work air must travel over the vanes at a speed to compensate for gravity pulling the front of the arrow down. When simply falling out of the air, an arrow tumbles.. Which is mostly worthless for doing more than making a dumb leto cry if it hits him is his fool head.

Oh, I meant in a medieval context! :P

I thought that a medieval arrow landing with gravity alone would be enough to kill a person. Especially if there were thousands of them at once.

That said it probably wouldn’t be practical enough for it to ever be used compared to the distance and power of a ballistic trajectory.

Well, with say like an English longbow, Broadheads weren’t used. They employed a different type of head called a Bodkin, basically a thin narrow point no thicker than the shaft of the arrow to penetrate armor.
The hail of arrows still employed ballistic arcs, an archer would fire arrows in quick succession starting at a high arc and descending with each shot so they all land at roughly at the same time. This practice is still in use today with artillery barrages.

But still, the killing force is derived from the bow, not gravity. A pointy wooden stick falling from the sky doesn’t have the energy to pass through much flesh.. Just enough to cause an owie

what I really don’t get is them giving AC’s a gtaoe style aiming when every other siege type fires in an arc. I understand it’s to get them wall humpers, but it is the foundation of this issue. Maybe if they gave us big rocks we could throw down, like them fancy PvE types gets to use…

Not some energy, its all the energy arrow has, unless target is lower then shooter. Gravity doesn’t add any energy, by shooting up you only convert Kinetic energy to Potential energy, and then back on the way down.
Just saying…

The earth pulls thing to it at 32 feet per second. That is terminal velocity.
A good bow releases the arrow at around 300 fps. Air resistance and gravity do have an effect on the arrow as it travels, but my point was dropping an arrow from above don’t work so good. Neither does shooting one straight up… That and the whole arrow falling on your head thing, which dad was quite adamant about..

Please take Raw Noodles and RE back.

The bigger question is “Will JQ accept them back?”

SykkoB.9465:

1-2 ppl doesn’t = sor calling ur server dead they rep themselves not SOR as a server

as far as bg being dead I think its more like a sleeping giant lol resting it up after the match got out of reach because they didn’t expect this big a push and they will be stronger Friday

for jQ I think ppl r just wondering wuts going on with them more then anything I hope they pull threw this I want health competition and u need three servers to get it

I think BG are busy, busy little dwarvses.
hi ho, hi ho, we need more guilds we know….

Got them teeth sharpened Mr. Rawnoodles?

I dunno, if I was Waha this week I’d be kittened. ATM kept putting up effort while SOME timezones declared themselves PvE oriented…..

But not to worry either way! With them go the T1 capability.

I am aware!
I have been hugged by all 15 at once. Luckily I’d taken my Enzyte that morning

Hey, that server that used to win every week and be full is now steady dropping in the ranks and has space available. I’ll spend 20 bucks to see if history repeats itself…

You guys done with your break yet? The troops at getting bored.

Pardon my cynicism Zen, but this thread more closely resembles a wake than a victory celebration. I don’t see why you’re apologizing to the Mudslingers.

“You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday BG’ll join us. And the world will live as one.”

Bah!
crush the enemies, see them driven before you, read the forum QQ.

Yup that’s why you’re losing.

You are overcomplicating your attack and underestimating your enemies both of which will get you wiped over and over again.

A few of these tactics were used successfully on votf lol.

Sure, we offered em a small heard of cattle and the hand of our firstborn daughter in matrimony.. Feel better now?
God forbid someone finds a better way to do something! That’s why the turtle is still the dominant meta.

Wait a minute, you offered an audio recording of cows and disfigured your daughters and that got people to join?

We’ve been doing it wrong.

I must’ve laughed for a good minute after reading that man, well done and ty.

Oh gods… you’re offering only the hand for matrimony… I can think of only one use… I feel ill. I need to sit down.

You identify with this crowd yet think we need more than a hand?
+1 on the dePuGging BTW..
JQ would be faar better off with 2 guilds of 40 than the 40 guilds of 2 situation currently present. I don’t know why so many seem to be content to be redshirts. Guilds are fun! YAaaay happy

JQ wat r u doing?
U r died servr, stahp

Just wanted to make it clear for simple minds such as yourself how T1 is atm regarding balance and what seems to be your hypocritical views on it.

You know a lot of guilds don’t go to SoR because of the TW nerd rage right?

Don’t feel silly posting that under current conditions or anything.

…Or were we supposed to keep recruiting? Are we supposed to keep piling more people in? Far as I can see we’re good without TWphobes.

sostronk.8167:

What kind of support did SOR give you?

Same we give our Eastern forces.
We integrate into their ranks and don’t expect them to dance to our tune.
You know, actual community building instead of forum posturing and false advertising.

Jahn.7019:

I don’t think being #1 is anything new to them considering they were on JQ when it first got to the #1 spot before they came to SoR back when it was #17.

And from what I hear from Indo/TW in TS, they are hoping that SoR does not run away with it because they like the underdog grind and enjoy building the community more than the end result of being #1.

Indeed.
To achieve unchallenged dominance would be considered the greatest disaster in the servers history. I very much hope we’ve not overestimated our opponents tenacity.

Medal counts have only the value of their weight on my chest..

Daaaaaang
Lookout, giant teardrops afallin! Save yer dodgerolls people!

2 days of life as SoR, wonder how long they’ll last.
How many weeks was it Blackgate? 15 I do believe..
