Ok, ok, 1 more.

Who would push SM if they were heavily outnumbered? (SOR actually has more people than JQ in this picture) Anyway, these pictures are all taken on different days, none of them Saturday or Sunday (I think the EB keep picture is from Monday) And not only that but they all are taken around your 8am time.

You didn’t really get trolled, but if you look at the time in the picture its close to 9am EST, and it’s only 8:20 right now, lol.

Showing a random group of 15 Pugs doesn’t really prove your point. Even if it was 20 Pugs they managed to pull together still wouldn’t prove the point you are trying to make that we don’t have a giant coverage gap.
You’ve already produced screen shots yourself of FoO pulling together a group bigger then that of just FoO members. So your own screen shots prove you wrong.

Also, I’m not sure if you are aware but there are 4 WvW maps. Showing we are able to muster 15 Pugs on EB of all maps also doesn’t prove we don’t have a coverage gap. If anything that proves we do. Since EB tends to get the largest group of Pugs across all time slots on all servers and we only had 15 in that picture and 10 in your other picture.

On a side note. We are supposed to have some Oceanic coverage that we picked up before moving to T1. It would appear they are no match for SoS’s Oceanics though or they aren’t showing up.

I found a solution for your problem, have all the SoR guilds join SoS meaning your coverage gaps are filled and we can beat JQueue together

Rough night for Oceanic! Seriously I thin we were outnumbered 10:1 in EB. Had to put in some extra hours. At one point I believe SOS got up to 525 PPT. We are just recovering now and just hit 200PPT.

Wrong, 595.

System Date Affects Daily Achievements [Merged]

I have noticed that my daily can be completed before 1pm my time (GMT +8), so if I wake up and don’t have work I can do my daily… but when I work it bugs out at 1pm (noticed this on the weekend) where the quest resets of which I can only complete 60% of the quest before it does not work.

I have submitted 3 out of game tickets and one for every day of the bug in game tickets as this time wasted is Laurels and Mystic coins which I am not getting meaning I cannot come any closer to my legendary or ascended rings… I would appreciate someone from Anet fixing this for me and giving me the rewards which I have missed out on every night!

Thanks! ~ Karps

nice fight in blue keep in eb an hour ago, so many bags =) only took jq/sos entire force 2+ hours to take it! Gj spawning our front gate sos and giving jq the keep.

I managed to get 50 bags in about 5minutes, I think Amarathy got more.

Basks in the QQ from JQ

No Oceanic presence? Hmm… 255 ppt vs SoS’s 275 (We hold SM…) Yeah… JQ has no oceanic presence what so ever! I agree.

Man is JQ not allowed to play during the weekends or something? The difference is astounding.

Im thinking Conspiracy… JQ is trying to manipulate the reset scores. I don’t see the usual amount of AoS, PRX, and EMP tags. In my mind there is no way SOR can be doing this well. Now I wonder why SOS isnt doing more?

I’m thinking JQueue couldn’t get their guilds in due to the stackage, “Oh here comes another SoS post about JQ’s coverage”. People over estimate SoS’s coverage, we have a a decent NA coverage, Really good Oceanic, decent SEA then only VoTF fields the EU slot.

Every night, even weekends we manage to get our full WvW guilds in and never have this “Queue” problem or “glitch” which everyone seems to be referring to, gives you an idea of the servers I guess? Numbers vs dedication? The longest queue we had last night was on SoS BL which admittedly was like 30minutes, but the next was SoR BL which had no queue then we took the full MERC force of 30-40 over there and filled the map leading to a 10minute queue.

It’s true, JQ BL was taken back last night by a massive pug forces, saw atleast 15 different guild tags in the zerg.

When the majority of MERC, DiE, ND and AFS (Oceanic / SEA guilds) logged, our ppt plummets always has, and FoO / Euro’s wait for this soon as this happens our ppt drops, by 11pm GMT +8 last night SoS was outmanned on JQ BL, SoR BL and SoS & EB both did not have queues. This is our coverage, don’t overestimate it. I’m sure JQueue has queues all day everyday on atleast 2-3 maps.

The lack of EU coverage means our NA which is not as strong as the other 2 servers, logs on to find T3 keeps in our own BL and have lost all foot holds in other maps leading to NA spending half their day flipping T3 keeps from same numbers from other servers, only to at the end of their timezone finally equaled out the PPT to hand over to Oceanics, who then have 3hrs to prepare for the onslaught of FoO and JQ’s massive SEA coverage.

^ As to not make this qq, SoS looking for EU guilds!

He has a point, we are t1, supposedly the best 3 servers in North America. Why not act like it instead of a gaggle of bickering children?

Stop being poor winners or poor losers and get on with the next week. It isn’t like you winning or losing matters in the grand scheme of things.

It’s like you’ve never been on the internet before?

Would just like to point out JQ has no SEA or Oceanic presence and needs to recruit more… 2am GMT +8 score.

SoS looking for some new blood, JQ already has enough.

So we can’t recruit? Sorry we have people on the server with connections and people want to join the community. That’s all i’ll say on this post.

Good job everyone out there some crazy hectic fights for sure!

lol not saying you can’t recruiting pointing out that all JQ’s say they never have SEA / Oceanic coverage comparible to SoS :P

You mean in your servers timeless words, “Bandwagoners” who were afraid to be stuck on their old servers.

We don’t have Oceanic* comparable to SoS. While we do have Oceanics (Aussie’s and what not) they don’t have near the numbers to hold down 4 map’s at the same time like SoS can. We have SEA presence that has never been disputed. And I don’t think anyone least to my knowledge has termed any of the guilds coming to JQ as “bandwagongers” but if you want to call them that feel free it might be why your not getting guilds

Not really, just watched 18 VoTf wipe the whole FoO zerg, got a little bit of a kitten.
Our server didn’t get the guilds simply because we are #1 and have been #1 for months, we recruited what we needed to fill our coverage gaps; ND, VoTf we didn’t bother stacking all our coverage zones, now in hindsight probably should of but oh well. We’ll see next week, till then GL VotF smash em!

Anyway night, 3 am time for bed.

I have a question for the SoS commanders, at what point numbers wise should a guild get in contact with you guys, like 10,20,30 on a map?

whenever you want, we have a few guilds who field only 10, or 15.
You are more than welcome

Screw that! Contact us when you have 2-5 people and are willing to do things like take supply camps/yak slap/ninja towers etc! The more coordinated self-driven people the better, zergs are good but can’t hold down supply camps everywhere.

If you feel like your group can do something that would help the cause let a commander know.

Name: [MERC] Black Lion Mercenary Corps
Raid size: 50 – 100
Specialty: Golem Rush, Portal Chain, Zerging? Why not?
Server: Sea of Sorrows since Aug 25 2013
Reason: Unique Management Team
MERC is managed by one of the most experienced management team in MMO history, which is key to our sustainable success. No, I don’t just mean they have played MMOs all their life and claim to be hardcore gamers (which is true btw). It’s their real life management background which makes the difference. The guild leader is an entrepreneur who is a director of several successful multinational corporations in real life, the biggest one with over 500 employees spanning 8 offices in 5 different countries. Other top officers include lawyers, investment bankers, marketing professionals, company general managers, military personnel, IT consultants and many other mature adults who have a lot of real life management experience and people skills. No longer will you have to sit and watch childish guild drama from people with over inflated kittens. For once, a guild that is run successfully by a group of individuals who actually think running a hardcore, successful and persistent 1000+ member guild is the least of their worries in life.

:P I agree!, don’t forget political campaigners! :P

MERC!

Please JQ has one of the best Oceanics. DC and EMP. They fill in numbers around 40 each guild easily.

BG has THAI guild also around those numbers.

SoS has only MERC and AFS. Now SoS have ND to add the the list.

Coverage wise i believe JQ has every hour covered. But not the most at 1 time.

Im not going to say coverage is what makes us win or lose but i just wanted to state out the facts that which guild is on most of the time during oceanics. Thats all.

Edit: There is also FOO guild i think. Not sure which server. AGGR from JQ.

FOO is one of our staple Oceanic/SEA guilds. They are very important in our oceanic coordination as they help coordinate everything in their time slot.

FOO & DC = JQ’s oceanic coverage in themselves.

FOO rush at and trebs the hell out of your keeps while DC runs off and cuts supply and hits small towers while FOO siege bay/hills/garrison.

It is a cop out to say JQ has “ok” coverage, JQ has amazing coverage FOO DC EMP VwV etc, all destroy the oceanic timezone. It is a war of attrition when versing these guilds, they either get bored or just leave which is usually after a 5 hour defence by MERC & AFS etc. As i’ve said many times ND is a welcome addition maybe finally we won’t start on the back foot every night.

Unless you play during >SEA< (not oceanic which has the east coast aussies) times please do not comment about this. I’ve gone up JQ night after night with the almighty FOO and DC providing muscle and coordination as well as many other guilds able to lock down and take soft targets (EMP, Maw, etc) and their pressure is extreme. We only really had MERC for muscle and AFS and militia. Don’t get me wrong though, I love the competition, each moment was an uphill battle that has kept this game alive for me. However, the nights we didn’t have a commander on were usually the nights where NA’s would be waking up to T3 JQ keeps on SoS bl.

It was a tremendous pressure to hold down our borderlands each night versing that organisation. Imagine having a t3 bay, but they’re trebbing from vale. Inside vale they’ll have a dozen manned ballista’s and a 60 man zerg idling around those trebs with supply constantly being run in small teams. Counter trebbing is rarely an option because they will have 8+ ele’s ready to swirl in multiple locations. Front on pushes result is getting mowed down. Stealth/Render/Portal bombs gain us some ground but once again we only get a small window to damage the seige because of the patience of their zerg to stand around trebs. Why not play defensive? well we often end up doing this to delay the inevitable, but they’ll have a theif/ranger tapping on every waypoint for the entire night so it’s a long run back and those yaks, well you can forget about them. They have mastered zugzwang in an MMO and kudo’s to them for doing so. Of course, they’re not unstoppable, we’ve had a lot of victories, even if that means just holding 190-220ppt but it’s a heap of stress doing so. We’ve come up with some pretty hilarious tactics to counter them as well, including our suicide chain portal bomb from citadel which allowed us to kill 9 trebs and turn the momentum back in our favour, despite the many deaths.
With the arrival of ND for IoJ, this stress has been lifted. While you may say SoS has amazing coverage and that anyone who joins us is a bandwagon I can assure you that you are wrong. Their arrival gives us much needed breathing room so that our commanders don’t have to tag up for 8+ hours each night. I strongly encourage more guilds to join the tier 1 bracket regardless of server and give the true feeling of WvW, a constant massive battle. No guild should feel that their absence will cripple the rest of the server; only that their presence will push for victory.

You mean like this man?

http://youtu.be/MYjq_xLeOLg

Looks to me you got the trebs but made a very good badge farm? I don’t really know what else there is to say.

It also broke their siege, saved our ppt & T3 Garrison and made FOO pull off the map, its not all about badges you know? If it was I wouldn’t be sitting on 3k of them with nothing to with them.

Also shows that SoS doesn’t always have 60 man zergs to deal with things as the forum trolls would have you believe, often means we have to resort to these sort of tactics to beat our strong opposition, like FOO.

As a SoS commanders this was a proud moment for us as we watched the so called “Militia” continue to portal bomb the trebs and run back to the portal spot knowing fairly well that they were going to die, but didn’t care, died so that they could break FOO immensely strong foothold in our BL.

With the arrival of ND to SoS, it seems they only need some slightly more EU to make a true 24/7 coverage. Now there is no SoS SEA weakness that we can explore during our prime time

Dear JQ Oceanic/SEA, guess you prolly now realised who’s your real threat here. Perhaps we could get SoS some more fun by invading their borderland instead of wiping BG’s? lol :P

Anyway i’m glad we have chance to fight IoJ’s ND again. It’s just a shame that they join the No1 server, making us even harder to push SoS. We’re enjoying Tier1 so far despite the fact that we havent get enough number to withstand you all the fronts!

Do you even play during Oceanic timezone?

Do you know who FOO is? FOO ONLY comes on SOS Borderlands to fight MERC as they find it a “Challenge” only reason they went BG BL tonight is because all SOS logged off to make room for ND.

I’ll post up my videos soon but FOO are brutal and play the game for the challenge and not the ppt which is why they force themselves onto SoS BL. Waha loves Amarathy always trying to get a date from her.

I don’t think anyone is giving up. Will it happen down the road? Who knows. I was just commenting on your server’s coverage, which is not the first time its being mentioned in this thread.

Edit – Re-read MagiKarp’s and response to MagiKarp posts on page 2. My bad, it seems like you all have 24 hr coverage due to the time dedication you all put in, which most likely is better than the time dedication JQ/BG put in. How many hours do you all put in on an average day?

Well it is now 2am, and I got home and 7:30pm….. (GMT +8) (Got home from work late)

Have stopped to eat 2 sandwitches….

I will be posting a video of MERC v FOO this weekend, currently the fraps footage is sitting in my movie maker and is 1 hour 30 minutes worth of footage. (This is fort siege parts only… the actual play time was more like 5 hours)

We welcome our Never Die Asian Brothers, MERC needs some respite and to rebuild. The constant war with FOO burns us out, all the Oceanic commanders in MERC are ecstatic to have ND help us.

MERC often finds ourselves doing ridiculous shifts just to make sure FOO doesn’t full cap our BLs then finally when FOO gives up and goes to sleep (I assume) our server is bombed by a European presence, which we have no counter to, by this point usually been commanding / playing for over 6 hours easy and we have to either play through the night or log off knowing everything will be full capped and will put NA in a bad position in the morning. Stressful I know, but this is the reason SoS is #1 the effort put in by the amazing guilds and community of SoS keeps it where it is.

Edit: In reply to your edit; Yeah I agree, I’ve hemeraged gold, I managed to play the TP & PVE a bit before I started hardcore wvw, but the only reason wvw commanders survive is siege donations from EB JP / their followers without it we could not command. Also yes the balance is impossible, only recently have our commanders started finishing their world completion and farming for their legendary, which has been at the detriment of our ppt but at some point you need to vary it up and rest.

Must kill guards before yaks.

Just saying, have any of the people agreeing with this post played in T1?

If you don’t defend / heal your own Yak’s thats your servers problem, it shouldn’t be free supply. If this sort of thing was implemented getting Bay to t3 would be a sinch because the Yak literally walks 20 metres.

The only way to deny a bay upg is to snipe the Yaks / flip Vale which can be impossible as it is right on the opposing players spawn.

If you defend your Yaks the guards are invaluable, they chain blind and immobilize, this is overpowered if the attacking player cannot cure stacked conditions it can mean the guards blind and the others immobilise is death for yak slapper.

Supply chain cutting as stated by Anet many times “run in a small group or on your own and cut the supply chain” “WvW is for everyone not just big guilds”

The suggested change would be terrible.

Are you suggesting that in T-1 there is never a single incident where a single Thief can take out a yak guarded by multiple players as well as the guards? Or is the worry that a servers 1-2 person thief teams having to change their strategies?

This change would benefit everyone and force them all to play more strategically. At no point should one character be able to teleport in, kill a heavily guarded target and get out in <3-5 seconds as happens now because they know that the yak is next to defenseless compared to guards/players.

One person can still take out the yak but if they are guarded they have to actually beat the guards first, that’s the point. If Bay is upgraded, that’s what siege is for.

The idea is floored, I can zerg a Yak with the guards and 2 people (not if really good) hitting me yes as a D/D ele I’ve designed myself this way. Problem is the suggestion is untenable as you would have to kill 3 elite hp bars which would take upwards of a minute meaning that all you would have to do is put swiftness on the yak, heal the guards and a yak can never be sniped.

You miss read me, but in T1 when you are in an opposing BL Yaks getting sniped is key to victory, so I often go to kill a yak to find 4+ JQ swiftnessing it or healing it meaning it can never be killed. I wouldn’t call having to use 5 people+ to kill one yak as more strategic, strategy is playing smarter, not by making it arbitrarily harder. You’d be surprised how easy it is to keep a Yak alive, my guild often rotates 2-3 people escorting a key yak to a fort we have just taken / under siege and bam thief problem nullified, a thief can’t out dps an Ele healing a yak and CCing him.

You also missed the point about upgrading bay, the idea is to stop it from upgrading so it is easier to siege, so when you finally do go on the offence (say you are being pushed hard by guilds like WM, FOO etc) When they finally relent you can take a T1 or T2 fort back instead of them easily being able to defend a t3 (which is strategy) from your understanding of what I said you don’t sound like you WvW much (I might be wrong).

If 1-2 thieves sniping Yak’s is your servers biggest problem, you’ve got nothing to worry about.

Not trying to be condescending at all if there is any tone of that ignore it, I think Yaks are fine the way they are and in their current state Yaks require protection and slappers job isn’t as easy as people make it out to be, I often wipe time and time again sniping yaks going into bay on SOS BL I miss countless when they are well defended.

1-11-13 SoS vs JQ vs BG redux

It is easy to motivate people to show up in wvw when the server has an influx of wvw-oriented guild transfers. Guilds like AGG and DIE who transferred to Sos only play gw2 for the wvw aspect of the game, so it is not difficult to get them to show up in wvw. If Sos did not have these transfers and was still able to get their massive force from just their native players, then they can make the claim that they are better than other servers at getting PVE players to show up in wvw.

If SOS didn’t have guilds like AGG and DiE we would still be in tier 5. What’s your point?

Let me see…. RUIN, thai and HB, all famous WvW guilds…. all BG natives? Come on….

No server is pure virgin anymore.

Love the “SoS has 24hr coverage” we don’t, we just have dedicated guilds ready to pull all nighters, tonight MERC pulled a 4pm till 2am stretch of coverage, which burns us commanders out, I had some good opposition from BG in BG BL and when Amarathy took over he crushed the JQ out of SoS BL.

The coverage issue is about player dedication not simply having more players, I commanded for over 6 hours tonight to fill in the coverage hole and NA has woken up early in order to relieve us. SoS’s community is dedicated, our EU coverage is non-existent but we stretch both Oceania and NA to cover this lapse.

Organise better and communicate and you’ll be amazed of the coverage and ppt you can achieve.

SoS vs JQ vs SBI 1/4/13

what up SoS, 3 waypoints in yo crib!

Jedah’s summarized this perfectly;

JQ: Good NA coverage, Avg Oceanic Presence, Avg EU presence
SoS: Great NA coverage, Avg Oceanic Presence, Little EU presence.

What you are seeing is a free 2 hour cap by JQ guilds like FOO, DC and EMP being able to fully upg forts and hold them for next 5 hours (after 1am GMT+8). Given you’ve held them now for 7 hours, gj, but free cap t3, SoS needs Euros!

Let’s end all 2 v 1 accusations once and for all with fun and easy maths

ok…. it’s too hard for me

Here are the variables
SOS attack SBI, JQ or Both
JQ attack SBI, SOS or Both
SBI attack SOS, JQ or Both
x 4 different maps
x 604,800 seconds in a week which you noticed a 2v1 situation at a single point in time.

Someone work out the probably of a 2v1 situation at any second, it’s pretty big I think.

anyways, given that you are not online 24/7 and on all 4 maps a the same time, you are only judging what is happening at a single point in time.

Therefore, no

I don’t think you get it. We literally saw both servers working together to kill JQ players. I don’t care if you or most of your server have not seen something like this happen because it’s happening. I have been one of the players on JQ that have denied any double teaming up until Sunday (yesterday) when I saw it happen with my own eyes. Say what you guys want, it happened in EB last night for sure.

In the end I don’t believe it’s worth anyone crying over this. I responded to make sure the point is clear that these things have happened but it doesn’t mean the server as a whole condones it or even truly organized it. This might be a small few that do it. Who really knows? It would just be nice to be confident that there truly isn’t any alliance between any server no matter what scale.

On topic: From my perspective, it feels like the hornets nest was beaten like a pinata and SoS is out for blood. I’ll be interested to see how the week plays out. Good fights everyone.

Sounds like jQQ can’t handle being Green, I guess we’ll have to confiscate the colour from you.

Give it up JQ nightcrew. We faced your last minute comeback attack before, tonight we have downloaded a few movies and prepared the pop corn while we defend the hell outta our assets. Sleep is not permitted is MERC.

Must have spent like 20g on defensive siege tonight.

I was pleasantly surprised myself. I thought we only knew how to zerg, looks like we are okay at defense too.

Haha, MERCs, defending from the front.

Much fraps footage! bunker mode activated.

Was a cute little push on bay SBI, you almost got the door to 90%!

Score update, only a few hours to go, overnight lead extended from 14k to 17.3k

Good job MERC’s we bunkered SoS BL HARD!!!

and as for the continued 2v1 complaints in these threads its funny, while I was leading in EB yesterday it was amazing how helpful both SBI and JQ were being, SBI would push up into ogres so we would cap Anz and QL, then JQ would get angry and push back all the way down into bravost so we would ninja Mendons and durios/anz and so on. You made it fun never felt pressured the whole time I was leading

it was a cute little defense you put up if it weren’t for SOS attacking from the rear. you might have not ever left the base. heads up, we’re doing a cute lil push on your garri now, or maybe the bay? or the south tower.. we got lots of choices with your hills in our pocket

Do not understand, hills/bay/garri been t3 for over 24hrs.
