I’m hearing conflicting rumors… some say WM is coming to BG (I think), others say WM has fallen apart and are no more. Does anyone have any actual facts?
Anyone else remember the gleeful posts 2 weeks ago of “R.I.P. BG” and “BG Is dead and will be in tier 3 in a few weeks” over and over? The death of BG has been claimed so many times now that I’ve lost count. And BG has proven them wrong, every kitten time.
Could be wrong, but still interesting. What do you think?
JQ = Asian Prime

Asian: Primetime
Euro: Presence (Upgrades from Asian prime)
SoR = NA Prime
NA: Primetime
Oceanic: Strong presence (Upgrades from NA Prime)
Asian: Strong presence, but countered by JQ Primetime
Euro: Varies
BG = No Prime
NA: Strong presence (Countered by SoR Prime and Stronger JQ presence)
Oceanic: Weakened from NA Prime
Asian: Presence (JQ prime and Stronger SoR presence)
Euro: Presence
So yesterday i marathon Commanded BG border for a silly amount of hours. IT was great fun trying to contain the Choo zerg with fewer numbers and it worked well enough.
I knew that with the numbers i had and the very mixed guild army i had running with me that i could not take Choo head on. Organized guild that knows on another vs Solid players that are unfamiliar will never work, but we still manged to contain it by using movement and forcing choo into fights they could not win. We even did attacks on Bay and hills knowing full well we would lose it, but it gave us time.
We only lost LW 1 time and North Supply 2 times to ninja cap during Garrison defenses. Inner of Garri was only reached ones and outer was breached 4 times or so, but it never fell under my command. It was great fun and thank you to ICOA, HB, KNT, MERC and the other guilds that ran with me during my rain of terror.
Also Choo i hope i run into you again soon so i can crush you.
That was a fun night of WvW, you honestly did very well bunkering down and holding your stuff. It was hard to hit the north with the nuisance of JQ at the south, but all in all you did defend your home BL well.
You do need to know we were the only SoR guild in the map with no queue and only 40 players :P so we were satisfied with two keeps, two towers and 2-4 camps
Yeah i never had more then 30 or so people with me on TS. I might have had more randoms with me, but never a massive flood of them and the issue is always to many randoms run. The ones who are on TS and know how to fight will stay and fight, but militia often enough will break if they see a lot of guild tags coming at them.
It is the number one reason that a Guild will win a outnumbered fight is that they will not run and will fight to the death where randoms will break to early.
Also we where lacking numbers of 20 or so PvE guys running around killing wolfs for hours on end in our zone. I was kitten about this and they kept reinforcements out.
Any way nice fight over all.
I feel your pain, the same thing happens in our home BL. It seems it is a casual player magnet along with EB haha.

TW and EMP have fought and wiped each other many times on the field and yes we both have a long history together since the start of JQ. However, we don’t have to find the means to lower our standards to incessantly bash the other guild.
We will not GvG TW, but that doesn’t mean we don’t respect the work you guys display on the field and thus keeping the fights dynamic.
Why isn’t there a feature to make it so dead bodies can’t be ressed / you force dead players to waypoint to spawn….
1 Player can res 20 dead players because they can just continuously pick each other up after the enemy players leave
Not to mention during combat you can power res dead players if you drop a timewarp and have 5 players res…. it takes like 5 seconds to pick up fully dead people.
Simple solution. Put a cap on the number of non-NA players allowed on any one NA server based on a +/- percentage of the total number of non-NA players on NA servers with the objective of fairly balancing the the population of non-NA players across all the NA servers to make game play more competitive 7/24.
As I recall from playing friday, JQ was winning when NA prime ended. This ‘solution’ of yours wouldnt let you win anyway. so lol
Most of those they outnumbered their opponent/were fighting unorganized forces. I’m not saying FoO isn’t a good guild, but don’t try to get them as much credit as you do…besides, look what happened in JQ BL today during asian primetime
I will be patiently waiting for SOR to make a run for 1st. Good luck!
We always do! We also know that wishful thinking is one thing, and reality another…
didnt sor claim they play for the fight and not for the win? such contradiction in this thread with bg now claiming they have been the underdog since they came back in t1…
Just because SoR plays for the fight, doesn’t mean they don’t also play for the win.
Did you know if you’re on the blue server, you often don’t see the fights that happen between red and green. At the same time, you see nearly every fight that involves blue.
It can make it sorta look like everyone is just fighting blue and not each other, if you’re on the blue team of course.
This is what I’m saying right here.
I know for a fact SoR doesn’t ‘sit in their defenses’ and ‘wait for SEA time’ because I get hit hard by them all the time, especially at BAY. Every night!
Maybe at a certain time of day, on one map, for a little while, they hold up and defend. We ALL do that. If SoR is a JQ lap dog, then it’s a zombie dog and only in our lap because it wants to eat us.
Three weeks ago it was BG saying that SoR needs to fall and KN needs to come up. This weeks it’s SoR saying BG will implode. Plus the last 2 weeks of 2v1 nonsense.
At the end of the day, BG and SoR forum warriors will continue to attack each other so long as they are in the same tier. The forum for these score updates is like entertainment weekly. Half of it is made up gossip/drama and half of it has fact. The only fact is the score btw.
Now, someone go feed the drama llama elsewhere and get us a score!
I said weeks ago when BG got the SoS transfers that it would fall apart eventually.
“Honestly, I might be wrong but unless something changes BG has only 2 options at the moment either to burn themselves out trying to keep up or drop to 3rd place and eventually T2.
I understand somewhat the frustration especially for those that were looking forward to stomp SoR because of some old history but in the end drama and trolling does not help with the server’s image especially when you start losing.
Most importantly is to remember there is grace in defeat and if that’s the case may as well go out in style."
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.
You do realize the first few weeks SoR was in Tier 1, JQ was a powerhouse server, BG just absorbed 75% of SoS and SoR was just SoR.
SoR is finally starting to get the numbers/coverage that BG and JQ have always had, but the difference is SoR worked long and hard to create a community of players that don’t just jump ship when you start losing/winning.
It was obvious that Blackgate was going to crumble and SoR was in it for the long run.
First off congrats on fixing the major issue, a huge step ahead for wvw. But unfortunately the end of culling brought another issue with it, long player tag information+titles making large battles like 50vs50 kinda disappointed from what we had expected, you barely can see enemies behind the front line, their animations, their actions, you can’t even count them as well, they’re obscure by a massive unnecessary text information from above their heads.
It’s like before we couldn’t see much and now we’re seeing too much, it needs to be adjusted. Well the good news is that there is a perfect way to fix that and doesn’t seems to be that hard, at least I believe it’s not, clearly the best way would be:
Server Name Abbreviation (Shorten) examples:
Ferguson’s Crossing Assaulter = FC Assaulter
Crystal Desert Recruit = CD Recruit…
Player Title Below NameTag Removal (for wvw only) show/hide option if possible
why both? Some might think it would solve the problem removing titles only, but it only would help a little bit actually. The real problem is the full server name especially for the longest ones.
Sorry I know there’s a couple threads like this but no Dev responses makes it even more desperately for one. We know the Dev team is aware of this and hopefully already working to do something but a word on forums about this wouldn’t hurt and would be more then appreciated. Habib? Devon? Matt? Anyone pls?
I think there’s some misinformation happening in the first picture, I know Choo didn’t walk away from anything but JQ BL after that fight.
We hung in for a while that night actually. Easter weekend unfortunately hit us hard. We topped out on 27 Choo in WvW x( Was fun though we worked on small group tactics for a while despite our comp sucking. It was also different not seeing the backs of KnT anymore! Hehe Happy Easter Everyone!
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
Sometimes I’m told that if you select the graphic for the type of card you are using, the confirm button will then become active. Other than that, it would be good to talk to Support by filing a ticket through the “Ask a Question” tab on that linked page. They should be able to assist you or at least explain why the purchase is not going through.
Thanks for your support of our game.
Thank you for the fast response. I love the support system/team in this game.
Never had a problem with chat suppression. If someone doesn’t listen to you the first time, they probably won’t the second time. If you do need to repeat yourself, it’s not like you can’t change up what you write.
E.g. instead of:
push
push
push
~You have been suppressed~ kitten
You could say,
push in 3
2
1
push now
keep pushing
…
I’m aware you are all posting about public chat but I just wanted to post a reminder that commanders are never suppressed in squad chat.
The problem is we are talking about leading the non-organized players and not ALL of those players will join your squad. Also /say chat is in a chat bubble and squad chat is in the chat box (not visible on character).
I agree, Commanders should not get suppressed. It is very hard to lead ‘pugs’ or players that won’t get in Team Speak, and you do need to lead them because they are important.
The most annoying thing is being suppressed when you are trying to say FOLLOW and they are standing at a sentry or distracted by 1 person running by.
Commander is 100 gold and if a person is abusing the ‘no suppressed commander’ feature then they will get reported and punished for it so I don’t think people will abuse it.
