We would love to rematch you. I understand that you were expecting us to show 25 and we were only able to produce 15. Let’s call our fight a wash and let’s do it over...let Knight know when’s best for you.
Dude your guild must be HUGE. If I asked mine if anyone had reduced salvaged ectos since last patch I would be lucky to get 5 people to answer me with a 322 person roster. But you got over 100 people to answer you?
If SoR loses badly again, and Kain wins t2, will sor drop into t2 or are the point difference still too great?
If the scores were the same as last week the Elo rating would not change. You and BG would have to beat SoR by 200k and Kain would have to beat TC and FA by 200k each in the same week. It’s not even possible for Kain to make T1 unless a major server shakeup happens.
The reason many of us say that we want KN in Tier 1 is because the most dominant time for JQ is SEA timezone, that’s when JQ gains most of their points. Other timezones are fairly even right now. It seems FOO likes to focus BG during that period, probably for the better challenge as SoR doesn’t have a lot around at that time.
War Machine will be a balancing factor for FOO and other SEA guilds. If FOO decide to focus BG like they do so often, they will lose a ton of objectives to WM. Just like if we focus JQ, WM will take a ton of stuff from us.
Hopefully that makes sense.
JQ ticking at +500 during SEA prime is no different then you ticking at +500 during OCE prime. You have a dream match up right now as SoR cares not about points. You essentially have a 1v1 and you’re not going to find a fairer match up then that.
All Kaineng coming to T1 would do is throw off the competitive fairness of the match up. What you are asking for is a handicap because you know you can’t compete with JQ despite having even numbers.
I find it a bit funny that the players that have been blasting SoR for ignoring game mechanics and not going after points are now sitting at the bottom of the map having GvGs.
If you don’t want to get rolled by Fear, go back to sitting in your towers and chasing your points.
Week 3 March of next year maybe. I don’t think you understand how the scoring system works.
It’s almost impossible for Kain to move up. It would take SoR, TC, and FA all imploding in the same week to get Kain into T1, that’s not going to happen.
I mean no disrespect but I dont see this impossible dungeon everyone complains about.
The spider queen and cave troll are significantly harder but we have yet to come close to wiping on either encounter. Kohler is very easy now as you don’t even have to avoid scorpion wire unless you’re glass. I have no doubt that I could solo the Howling King, Ghost Eater bugging out sucks but a good group that manages its defiant stacks has no problem. We skip Colossus Rumblus until the encounter is fixed.
We’re not wiping anywhere in the dungeon even when we have 3-4 alts in the group.
In regards to the final 24 hours before reset, yes there was a coordinated by SoR to remove BG from the lead. Make no mistake there is no alliance with JQ, they were the defacto beneficiary. If we could cause you both to lose we would.
Many SoR natives remember our first weeks playing against BG when a certain guild and its members repeatedly exploited their way into our keeps and towers with fly hacks and clipping hacks. That guild still resides on BG and as long as they do reside on BG I believe that there will be a concentrated effort to make sure your server never takes 1st place.
I reached my limit of frustration with WvW last night.
CDS/Plum were having some great back and forth battles with EMP/Fire at Foghaven for the first few hours after reset while Hel was fighting with LotD/ICoa on the southern part of the map. The battles were back forth, we wiped you, you wiped us, it was a good time except of course for the skill lag.
Then we had that 3 way fight at Fog and the lag was so bad that not only could I not use any skills but I couldn’t even move. I’m sitting here double tapping my left and right keys trying to dodge roll and getting no response from my character until I ended up downed. At which point I tried to Mist Form away but that wasn’t responding either.
We have passed all 6 of our guild mission attempts and have drawn Sotzz 4 of 6 times.
Have your guild line up straight across the zone like you were surveying an open field for a dead body. Then have everyone move in one direction at the same time and you will find him. This method has worked for us everytime.
I apologize for not having a video but we ran this the other day with our alts.
Lvl 66 was the highest in group, we wiped once on the trash before Ghost Eater but other than that it was a death free run. (Note: we skipped P3 and we are all very experienced dungeon runners)
TW, TWL, CDS and a few others were running around together with something near that last night. I honestly couldn’t even use skills when they’d get near because of the lag.
HB just blew us up 3 times in SoR BL and I had to call it quits. I can’t even get 1 skill off in a 20 second fight.
Kaineng gave us a better fight in T2. I don’t think you guys belong here In T1. Shape up or ship out. Cause Kainengs coming up next to knock down your doors.
I’d be perfectly fine with this, can we switch places right now?
Our players can’t get into to do dragons and the ones that can are suffering terrible lag problems. One auto attack every 4 seconds and complete skill lockout.
WvW is also extremely laggy at the moment as well. Constant hooking while traveling the maps even if no combat is near.
We actually got it with like 8 to 9 minutes remaining. We already did it on tier 1 and 2 prior so no one was worried about missing a kill. Also scouted all the targets ahead of time with roughly 100 guys. I think we got it faster, but we had more man power, so really take it with a grain of salt.
Of course I can’t prove it since I took no screenshot, but in the end, who cares :P
We were able to complete Tier 2 in 3 minutes using the same strategy. We’ll be attempting Tier 3 tomorrow, but I assume it won’t take us longer than 6-7 minutes to complete.
I’m still getting terrible lag in blue BL right now. Getting 2 frames in fights with any kind of significant numbers and still random hooking while traveling the zone.
It’s my belief that the developers of this game have great vision and ideas, better than any game I have ever played before. Where they fail is with execution, the game simply has too many bugs and every patch seems to just add more of them to the game.
Grast continues to use his hammer attack well after colossus rumblus has started his rock fall. The rocks then end up knocking back and interrupting Grast causing our group to wipe.
So for the second day in a row, nobody on Sanctum of Rall can do our own dragon encounters because the zones are full of guests and we’re getting kicked to overflow. We are getting very agitated with this issue.
You know I have to laugh when I see a post like this, I’m not laughing at you it’s just the irony of the topic. I am getting 3x-4x more loot then I was prior to this patch. As an elementalist I was tapping every creature, receiving exp, but never getting loot. Now I am getting loot by barrels full.
I’ve noticed just the opposite. Since the temples all have buffed loot, I see people going zone to zone to form parties to do Lyssa and Balthazar, this never happened in the past.
I’m stupid when it comes to math so I’ll just assume your math is right.
The insignificance of stats comes from skillful play, you’re ability to dodge an attack or your opponents ability to dodge an attack more than makes up for any statistical difference.
In a perfect world the player with ascended would be 10% stronger than the player in exotics but we don’t live in a perfect world and everyone makes mistakes. I wear full exotics + 1 ascended piece and I’ve been killed 1v1 by upleveled players before, conversely I’ve also won 2v1s before as well.
The 6 locations they are in had lots of people. Which is great. But what about the locations not there? The world is big, but you’re concentrating a big portion of it onto 6 specific spots. That isn’t good for the “open world.”
Where are the 6 locations/events that are now rewarding?
3 Dragons
Frozen Maw
Fire Elemental
Shadow Behemoth
Your argument would hold more sway if you had been there when the open world players were complaining about being forced to do dungeons in order to get the best loot in the game.
I am sorry that you are stuck on the other side of the pendulum this time, so is life.
They should remove swords all together.. Most old school pvpers, no not aion vets , understand why. Not surprising the guilds that rely on numbers the most are complaining the loudest
I disagree
I think it benefits the guilds with larger numbers, it certainly helped FoO this morning.
SoR was outmanned on our home BL until I went and took a nap at 1 PM EST. Our off-hours team is small and lacks coordination as its a coalition of guilds since no one guild has more than 3 members on at that time. Usually we’re successful at holding half the BL simply by avoiding the orange swords on the map and moving around back capping what is taken.
But today JQ was running a 10 man supply camp team and 2 25 man tower teams. There were white swords everywhere on the map and no orange swords, as I said earlier we don’t have enough people to send scouts so we’re just moving around praying we run into an uncontested camp or the 10 man team. But we kept running into the 25 man teams and wiping, some of our more casual players got extremely kitten and left.
It certainly benefits organization over non-organization which is only going to compound the ‘coverage’ issue in this match up.
I don’t think I much care for this 25 man marker change.
Our off-hours team is just getting destroyed. We don’t have enough people to have scouts on the map and our small 15 man team just keeps running into JQ’s 25 man teams over and over again.
At this rate it we’ll be lucky to get 5 people into WvW in the morning hours by the end of the week.
Guild Name: Caedas [CDS]
Server: Sanctum of Rall
My guild rank: Knight
Issue: Purchased 2 drinks of the week to increase influence, game took gold but did not add influence to guild.
As a PvE player you are able to guest to other realms to play that portion of the game. Yes, you do lose your WvW bonuses but if you’re not participating in WvW to help your server you probably should not be reaping the bonuses anyway.
The only reason to move is for WvW and 99/100 moves are fair weather players looking to move off their losing server to a winning server. These moves do significant harm to a system that only works when players do not shift around.
I actually wish the cost of server transfers was higher. Given that the recent mass exodus of players from Sea of Sorrows has thrown off the WvW ranking system for weeks to come.
Please understand that the players on SoR that are complaining about your numbers/coverage are, for the most part, the new transfers. The players that have been on this server for an extended period of time had to go through this when we were beaten by BG 8 weeks in a row.
This match up has played out exactly like the BG match up did. We played BG close for a few weeks then we played them close on the weekend for a few weeks then we got stomped for 2 weeks until they moved up.
Unfortunately unlike T2 where BG eventually moved up there’s no where for you guys (JQ) to go. The only option available is for us is to move down and trust me I think most of us would like to move down. However, I believe that SoS would also like to move down and BG/Kain do not want to come up.
SoR is stuck in this tier indefinitely which has forced us to change our priorities. We would love to be able to compete with you for points on a weekly basis but we can’t and apparently we can’t even compete with you on the weekend anymore.
As I said earlier, if you want to fight us you’ll have to come to us in the open field. If you want to sit there behind your T3 towers and tick lead coasting to victory, that’s fine too. You earned it and congratulations!
If you look threw the threads and T1 posts we never had these problems until a certain server showed up. Even now you don’t see posts from JQ players bragging about how good they are. What you do see is a whole lot of crying from one of the servers in T1 and the other server, who is having internal problems, airing dirty laundry every now and then.
Funny, when I read the thread I see a lot of bragging by JQ and I do not see any complaining from SoR or any internal conflicts on SoS. It’s almost as if you’re making these things up in an attempt to destroy the communities of the other 2 servers.
Wasn’t JQ just winning the NA afternoon time weekend PPT? Did all the SOS and SOR players suddenly give up and don’t log onto WvW at all now? I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ABOUT THE FIGHTS!!!
It is about the fights.
We’re done spending countless hours whacking on the doors and walls of your T3 keeps/towers in your home BL, that kitten is dull and boring. Keep them and your point tick, congratulations you’re going to win again.
If you want to fight us Choo is in red, TW is in blue, and CDS/FEAR are in EB. If you don’t want to fight us, that’s fine too. SoS always puts up a good fight.
