Honestly, I have no qualms in saying this anymore, but BG you should be ashamed of yourself.
This morning while you were attacking us, you simultaneously drained all of our supply in less than 30 minutes.
Quite frankly, the faster your server is out of this tier the better, you guys don’t deserve to be up here.
Unlike Jade Quarry native Wild Bill (who posted a video about how to exploit into towers/keeps) you have no evidence that someone from Blackgate is behind this.
If we go by your logic, Jade Quarry should be the one ashamed of itself.
But why would we use your reasoning? How can I or anyone blame JQ for the actions of one player? How can you blame Blackgate for the actions of a few players who you don’t even know the identities or server origins of?
Jade Quarry isn’t the only server this is happening too, its happening on TC as well. And as many know BG and TC are about as BFF’d as any two server communities can be.
Wild Bill was from Stormbluff. Please don’t misrepresent if you don’t know.
Thanks
Ive gotten on top of the red-vale supply by jumping on the shed to right and then onto the ledge of the tower. Is this something that can be reported as cheating, or is it a spot that is meant to be reached. I asked because i don’t want to get banned or anger the other servers by making them think im cheating.
I would say it would be termed an exploit in my opinion because you can get there but can be fairly untargetable from aoe and can hold the circle while being safe from most harm.
I would love to see some proof. You do realize that JQ and SoR TS are very closely related and this wouldn’t fly with the people who run them.
Our turn to get seige capped
![]()
Also this guy taking all our golems and running it into Foo zergballNice how people try to kick you when you are down or in our case sleeping. At least if you are going to siege cap like that use arrow carts or catas looks less obvious —insert evil grin here-- wouldn’t want devs to aware of you actions now would we.
Oh and I missed the golem bit but that was seriously bad form even for some random spy trying to make a name for themselves.
There was plenty of merc inside the keep at the time. But I do agree hopefully the dev’s put a stop to this because its getting ridiculous.
Awesome Reset. We got paired up with HzH again and fought TW and LoTD amongst others and they kept us on our toes! Great fights!
When everyone’s bored and conserving siege on Reset eve you will see some crazy things happen. Most notably us pvdooring Garrison with just our fists.
Blackgate has already stomped SoR. Since being in T1 they were 2nd for the first 2 weeks and took first the 3rd week. SoR was in their usual 3rd place spot.
Why 3rd place, because they are too afraid to do anything against JQ because they know that they would crumble trying to defend both JQ and BG. And the fact that SoR is afraid to challenge JQ works to JQs benefit. They can go after BG knowing SoR will join in and not take points from them.
How long has SoR been in T1 now and never once came close to taking top spot. It says a lot about a server that just rolls over and accepts 2nd or 3rd.
Many on BG enjoy fighting against JQs numbers and coverage, what is wearing on BG is the yappy poodle constantly nipping at our ankles when we fight the top dog.
Spitting More Trollish Garbage!
An “Asterisk” win hardly validates the roller coaster that is currently BG.
And that “yappy poodle” will be in Tier 1 for a long while slowly building its server the “right” way… so get used to it if you don’t drop again.You need to put your ego aside for a moment and realize if JQ wants to win, they will win (they have shown how hard they can go) a 1 week fluke means nothing… even a blind squirrel can get a nut from time to time.
So at this point in time why bash your head against a wall?…it only burns people out, and demoralizes your rallians?
Both servers long term strategy should be to consistently maintain a competitive server while adding quality guilds who want to play on your server(and enjoy Tier 1 style play).

Blinxxx/The Graced SORHow about you ask Waha FOO what it was like playing on the largest SEA server presence in the world and not having anyone to help you when you needed them the most? Jade Quarry lost because they imploded and the majority gave up, I’ve never seen it so empty on a day like that day.
Firstly, FOO is spelt as Fo0. Secondly, Waha is a nice guy, never scolds and so hence many of the pugs join him during SEA.
I have played with waha for many months. And 8 out of 10 times, when his guild and pugs combine, the entire maps turn green.
He never cheats, he works hard and is most importantly, the GOD of SEA.
Just to clear it up FoO is the raid guild for WvW purposes but the main guild is FOO. Difference being one is for keeping track of who is the wvw’ers in FOO and who are also part of the SEA alliance that FOO has spearheaded. And waha doesn’t get mad all he does is expect everyone to put in their best effort in return for the hard work.
Tonight’s one of our late night events for our aussie and oceanic counterparts come join the fun
Epic 3-way fights in inner BG Garri!
I just wish the lag wasn’t so bad it was tons of fun though we had a lot of pug’s in this group so it was a little more difficult but it was tons of fun
Ham, I just spoke to someone who was there during that assault and there was an open field treb used by BG that hit that arrow cart. I’m assuming you are trying to call foul play by posting a screenshot of a lot of damage with no AoE circle/particle effect, but I can assure you there was none. It is possible you were lagging and didn’t see the shot hit?
From the picture you can see it was a poison cow hitting now a treb shot. Also keep in mind treb shots don’t deal 12k to siege its 19k~
Geko read the top line in the chat frame. They are clearly talking about something in the adventure box.
The adventure box thing that stay’s once they leave is what they said.
Really disappointed in anyone actively trying to use it. Very unsportsmanlike.
Maybe they all built that new space laser cannon blueprint so they can orbital strike your assets?
Not sure if the last part is trolling I just know I saw it rampant from some guilds on SoR we know to have used this sort of thing in the past. So far I have yet to see any server using it and I really hope it doesn’t happen but it is painful to lose hours of work to a bug abuse which is termed an exploit.
Can SoR come back from a 35k deficit folks?!?!?!
We have cut it in half already, and it may be possible!!
Lets go Rallians this is your time!!!! For SoR!!!!!!
Between BG and SoR or JQ and SoR?
This is just idle speculation, which is what I am best at, but it strikes me that SoR likes to feed on the tears of children. The closest thing you’ll find in this game to the tears of children are the 2v1 posts on forums. The more you post complaining about how SoR is the root of your problem, the more SoR will love devouring your pain.
SoR isnt the root of anything but 3rd place… I just find it funny it takes 2 full zergs from 2 diff worlds to take valley… Oh btw yes both JQ and SoR left their BLs open to do it and still took so long.
You do realize that JQ doesn’t send organized guilds to EB besides reset? After that we let thing’s shake out in the hands of our capable EB commanders who may represent large guilds but do not have more than a few guildies following them.
When you leave Super Adventure Box after a boss fight if you leave before it teleports you from the boss zone your camera remains zoomed out. It’s similar to the bug that happened with the Mad King dungeon where your camera was extremely zoomed out. This normally wouldn’t be a problem but in the past few hours in WvW we’ve had inner keep siege wiped not from any siege just people able to AoE inside a doorway onto steps. Example the bridge to hills lords room we lost two arrow carts and catapults due to AoE from players hitting this (while the gates were intact). I didn’t take a screenshot but this is a bug that is actively being used and has cost us a Tier 3 keep and full supply and lots of people’s hard work was put to waste because siege was pretty much useless and without siege you can’t stop a map que from taking something if you don’t have the same size group.
Please address this issue asap as it is becoming worse.
Newly redesigned site check it out and come join us today!
Tell us about your WXP rank! And join us today we will be doing bounty’s all day
I’m sure MERC can handle themselves. When they went hard last week and ticked 500+ PPT during their primetime
No culling fix last week just sayin
Believe me the 45 man JQ zergs on all maps in SEA culled as well. Plus a lot of our commanders have RL stuff going on right now, so were largely MIA all week. Not using it as an excuse, but just as an explanation at the sudden drop off. Plus, it woul be nice to fight JQ on open field for once because the only guild that does that is FoO. All of the rest of the guild will only engage you if they run in a much larger zerg than yours and I just find it hilarious that we would full cap BG bl with the exception of hills and the entire non-outmanned JQ force would sit in hills waiting for a chance to PvD because you don’t join JQ for the PvP.
JQ cannot argue from the standpoint of having lack of numbers, the only issue is that all of the engagements we’ve had ended in JQ running. Must be fun to spend your entire night sitting on a battlement spamming 1 right?
You do realize that we are outmanned every night when you take our tower. I could post pictures but you would just dispute that fact. It’s not our fault you guys rock that 40+ man group and we have 15-20 coordinated on a map. It truly stinks to be unable to fight equal numbers I guess but if you guys are soo good why have you been unable to take hills? It’s an honest question you’ve taken it once this entire week. How many times have we taken your garrison on the same map? 15-30.
I know where all the bg players are. They do pve to feed their sabotage troops on JQ which will build sieges in eb and jq bl next match..
Wait, that sentence was almost as ridiculous as the talk about 2v1. Nevermind.
Lol Blackgate is fine with being 2v1’d… Even though it doesn’t look good in points, it has definitely been increasing our WXP rank significantly :P
& sabotage troops???
If BG was “fine” with being 2v1’d wouldn’t they you know not complain about it? This is laughable given how much Jared kincaide complains about 2v1 on the forums. And before anyone asks we totally just all sit on the same TS planning it out. It goes like this : Guys we need to take Valley so SoR you take Durios we will take QL and then we will push Langor and Bravost at the same time and since we took Valley last time you guys can have it we will spawn camp BG! High Five
How much I complain? I seriously posted two times because that night in EBG was absolutely ludicrous. I even posted I understand the 2v1, we all use it. I’m talking about specific coordination, and do not sit there and deny it happens, I know for a FACT several of sor’s guild leaders PM several JQ guild leaders and coordinate attacks.
I am not “complaining about the 2v1 constantly”. I’m pointing out the extremes it has gone to this last week. You guys admit to it, by blaming 10 people who guested to LA. So your not saying I am wrong, your admitting I am right.
The fact is, when SOR and JQ fight each other as well as BG, BG has a chance to take first place if we push. You’ve rectified that mistake this week.
You do know that no JQ guild specifically runs EB we don’t assign guilds there so if a commander is coordinating with SoR they have some serious skills at pug control. That’s all there is to it.
Culling is removed and SoR takes 2nd. Nice!
Well DUH. You always had the numbers and the removing of culling made your zerg’s finally realize that they where getting hit by smaller forces at all times. BG dose not have the numbers to fight SoR or JQ’s numbers.
We tend to be better in movement and stronger pound for pound, but we do not have the pure mass that you guys have.
Oh I forgot SoR has a higher map pop. thanks to anet’s love for SoR
Everyone knows that SoR’s strategy has always been to get everyone in their map into 1 huge zerg; while Blackgate on the other hand has a lot more smaller, organized strike team guilds hitting different locations simultaneously.
Especially SoR’s largest guild, for example, would insta queue the map with their 1500 members and stay together in 1 huge zerg.
ICoa doesn’t split groups up lol don’t kid yourself. The last time we ran into Icoa they had the whole map following them.
ICoa always had a seperate force doing strike teams…. Trust me, I’m the leader of it
& I can’t really control who the pugs want to follow lol
Don’t kid yourself man I mean no one here believes that Icoa doesn’t roll as one big blob. That culling fix made it all visible can’t lie about that. And as I told MERC please stop trying to veil before every push when we see you coming it doesn’t work all it does it fill our bags up.
I know where all the bg players are. They do pve to feed their sabotage troops on JQ which will build sieges in eb and jq bl next match..

New patch and World XP have definitely made WvW interesting! Match is officially decided and time to have some Guild bounty fun!
Do you have screenshots or names? whisper me in game
Didn’t really bother I let a few people I know on blackgate and they passed on the word to higher ups as far as I know. It was too many to really screen shot their tag and then what they said. I will thank them its the first time JQ LA has been to overflow in months! o.O
You know you can send them a guild invite and then you see what server they are in right?
Did you know it also shows that same text when they guest? If I guest to JQ right now, my guild list will say I’m on JQ. That is in no way proof of where somebody is from.
It was a mob of people rocking MERC tags. Same spelling as the guild tag and everything so I think we can connect their server to them.
JQ had 60+ SoR had 60+ BG ddin’t even have 40 ya perfect sense attack blue that at that time was 40ppt. Then you look at the map JQ was Green, SoR was Red, EBG was all Green/Red perfect sense for 160 players to go after 1 blue keep? Doesn’t matter, but to the players that come here and are saying there isn’t coop going really are amazing me.
JQ these days dominates the #1 position in Tier 1 “last week excluded of course”. Not only did BG beat us last week, many ppl from BG disrespected our server more than normal on the forums and by guesting to our server to troll. JQ as a server has never really been that way to others. We are making sure BG are paid back for the disrespect in these cases. Though it was only a select several that were this way. Their actions represent their server and their server will pay the price for it.
It wasn’t just any guild it was one of their biggest guilds. MERC came to LA on Jade Quarry to rub in a win. They thought they were tough when they did so. The score says otherwise when MERC had to fight with t1/t2 keeps and no culling abuse it was like taking a lamb to slaughter every time they tried to push us.
Congrats JQ for maintaining first place by being the lead server in a two server team. I solute you for your individual servers skill in Wv3. Good job manning up to your loss last week by showing such excellent strategy! =) Go “Jade Rall.” Cheer
You seem a little mad you do realize that SoR hit us just as much as you guys. Thing is our stuff wasn’t paper when they hit it. We capitalized on your guys dead periods and you guys struggled to do so this is the result.
Those Doors must be fighting back pretty good!
Still recruiting and enjoying the new patch!
A lot of what commander’s say is repetitive and when you say it three times you get suppressed. This is pretty ridiculous because it can make or break a fight if you can’t communicate with some of your team who isn’t on VoIP for whatever reason.
Try to switch back to ND/Merc vs FoO like the 1st day Ex-SoS guild arrive on BG ?
Yes, lets lose our assets because FoO aren’t satisfied with their fights. We stretch what forces we have to maintain a stable ppt.
Hint MERC veil does not have the desired effect anymore you might want to stop using it when you push out portals. Just some advice.
Veil doesn’t make us invisible to you for 4 seconds anymore? :O
Its that 4 seconds but coming out a portal we can see you as soon as invis ends now not another 3-4 seconds later but if you don’t understand why this tactic worked you might be a lost cause.
Hint MERC veil does not have the desired effect anymore you might want to stop using it when you push out portals. Just some advice.
Also I was in that fight as well you guys had equal numbers.
Until FoO arrived, that is. :x
70 people vs 70 people while you have spawn advantage is pretty even numbers if you ask me. Even if foo had 10 or so more you had spawn advantage you should have won.
BG outmanned at all hours!
Ah, so you’re that one thief who decided he’d try to one man our force as we capped the camp.
Also, here’s JQ’s super-skilled 10 man party because I can take screenshots too.
I wasn’t trying to stop the force I wanted a picture of the “outmanned” BG zerg. Also I was in that fight as well you guys had equal numbers.
BG outmanned at all hours!
Good luck to you guys hope to see you out there with us or on the other side soon
Spoiler: 2v1 post
Magic how JQ BL and BG BL were green yet SoR BL untouched by JQ and now watching SoR PvDoor our BL with no defenders ;P. Magnets, how do they work?
When someone map hops 50+ to a map and you go instant outmanned you don’t really overextend yourself
lol, JQ outmanned, this is a first.
You play in Aussie prime and you don’t know that we are pretty much sporting the Outmanned buff during this time zone? Dang show’s the skills Merc has!

Crazy Reset night and tons of fun from all sides. Great fights again Icoa and that garrison fight was epic! Also Recruiting all Time slots!
You’re cute, maybe when your guild is relevant in WvW again, I might care.
Besides who knows the internal workings of SoS and MERC better than a JQ GM who stacked his server to the brink, you are now reaping the consequences, well done.
SF & others transferred off their server 3 weeks after they lost a major guild – no backlash for them, oh yeah, right because they were stacking your server, so thats alright, but if they provide competition no no thats bad and you guys should feel bad for wanting to play in a balanced way.
So VaL’s mega alliance never transferred to you I see, those 16 (that you acknowledge, which we’ve all seen is more)
Bottom line is BG is a great server, which beat JQ pulled out all stocks this week which yes; Never Die and MERC had major parts in and I’m sick of the constant sniping from the insipid toxicity that is JQ maybe if you could actually best us on the WvW field you wouldn’t attack us so consistently on the forums.
You sound a bit angry you should seek some help man. I congratulated you on your win but you do realize VaL didn’t have a mega alliance it was 2-4 guilds and of which they are PvX so I guess we are stacked man. Our community was attractive to SF and all of the guilds that joined not the fact we got people. SF was literally the only NA presence left on SBI no one can blame them for leaving. You guys were competitive in Tier 1 yet you still left the server.
No one would ever have a 2nd account on the enemy server then use their own guild tag when ruining for that server in WvW, it’s common sense. This is just someone hating Choo trying to give them bad PR.
It was a troll people won’t drop that fact.
Man I love this arguement you give, except that, when I took your garrison I golem rushed it, I took it within 4 minutes, you never once had a chance to use any supply even if you had any.
By the time I took it I had a resistance force of 15, which was stomped aptly by my MERCs. Your excuses are dry and old, like your server.
You server hopped when you guys lost sorta sad isn’t it? Pot meet kettle. You can’t say our server is old and bad like you are implying.
Now I would like to congratulate Blackgate on the win it was well deserved and one troll doesn’t discount that. I can safely say none of the Major guilds on BG condone these actions so stop bringing them up. It sucked being unable to use siege but honestly I look forward to more competition and a fun filled match and that’s ultimately what this game comes down to.
Not going to continue this but, you use the pot calling kettle?
How many guilds that WvW on Jade Quarry atm are originally from JQ?
???
Half of our NA originated on JQ, our SEA has been pretty much here with FOO (originally ET) since october and didn’t transfer when they lost they transferred because they were literally the only WvW guild left on their original server. We have many many guilds who have been here since launch and many guilds who came because their server was gone. You guys left when your server lost 3 weeks in a row. I don’t see the comparisons but keep it up. We all know MERC is a bit upset sad to see things went downhill after Jedah’s left.

What kind of WvWvW groups do you guys run? Do you run with the zerg all the time or do you run smallman/5man?
Looking for a WvWvW guild, but Zerging isn’t my cup of tea. I’ll do it if I can’t get a group, but I prefer 5 man roaming groups.
We run a main force and try and have a havoc/gank squad roaming at all times we are fielding numbers on a map. We are definitely looking for more people willing to set up 5 mans to help with the camp flipping and the smaller spec op type stuff.
P.S sorry about the late response been a little busy. If you are interested message me and I can give you more details :P
Expanding our coverage and overall guild camaraderie. Come join the fun today!
Seem’s that NA prime is only 2 hours or we wouldn’t have top PPT
Honestly I havent even seen PRX doing much of anything recently. I saw their guild like once last week, and once this week, I don’t think it will be much different from how it is now when they leave or whatever. JQ doesn’t have as many people NA afternoon time as our competition, and we have the outmanned buff up on 3 of 4 maps NA night time. Which BTW, is when BG PVDoors us and gets most of it’s points while complaining about FOO and uses them as an excuse for why they lose.
Hm last week people from JQ were toting how they had the best NA primetime. Now PRX leaves and they are outmanned on 3 out of the 4 maps? I think it has a lot more to do with SoR’s NA actually playing the PPT game for once instead of looking for open field fights the whole night. JQ’s Na primetime is getting a nice reality check this week.
You know that it’s still spring break for most colleges/hs and that hurts but not only that it gets boring a lot of nights being unable to use skills due to lag from the mega zergs that roll maps. This coupled with some trolls just makes it sorta tedious see attached. He has been spamming for almost an hour that he’s a choo spy etc. Good luck though in NA prime
So its spring break for JQ and not SoR? Ahh ok now I get it. The spring break/skill lag zerg must be the reason JQ is now losing during NA primetime and not because SoR is making a statement this week. Anymore excuses?
I never said you guy’s weren’t affected by spring break. Just stating that a fair few of our main commanders are college aged. Also if SoR was making a statement wouldn’t you guys be in first? Statements for second don’t prove anything.
