Guild Wars 2

MERC re-enters Tier 1 combat with some interesting results.

uncontested on blackgate right now!

B-B-B-Blackgate!!

Oh too bad, so you guys can’t use things like the kills to at least give awards for that?I understand the rest of it but the kills could give some awards our commander has like over 40k kills…I’m at 17k atm, but maybe its a good thing so certain people don’t get super op right away with all the retro awards.

Why? They’ve done the work.

Why bother to do nice things for us? We don’t buy gems.

Do PvE for WvW? Sounds like something ANet would make you do.

I mean, it’s not like we ALL have title tracks progressing already that measure WvW progress. No, NOTHING LIKE THAT EXISTS.

ANET designing a WvW update to be nice to WvW players? What kittening planet do you live on? This is so all the John Does can get more PvE out of their game.

Too late, I guess. Well done OP for kittening up something else for us. Our AoE isn’t even AoE, and now this?

Love to see you using a kittening arrow cart from a rampart in first person view.

NinjaEd.3946:

Really? 20 skills isn’t enough?….out of combat maybe with a cd I can see being acceptable (and for engineer) but no more.

Can’t you read?

Also, why would out of combat weapon swaps need a cooldown anyway?

I just don’t see why a critical feature of the game, that was in the game BEFORE it, is missing. Why do we rely on www.GW2lfg.com?

FXAA is rubbish, turn it off and you barely notice a difference.

This is actually cool. World War free for all!

“IN ORDER TO BALANCE WVW, WE’VE PUT EVERY SINGLE SERVER ONTO EB, HAVE FUN”.

problematic.9623:

No. The Sea of Sorrow player community already claimed the [former] Dragonbrand transfers. After the players finish the Tier war they still need a place to call home. They know where it is.

Heck I was on SoS from the Beta till I saw where it was going. Home will be a server where the players feel that they’re having fun.

MERC v Meow, and we hear about Amarathy’s pie!

Ohhhhh Myyy! Loved this video. Good fun! Those voices, can I hire you all to do commentary on any videos I make? ~g~ I offer cheese and bacon sarnies at all hours LOL

Most of the guys speaking in the video are a) the guild leader or b) commanders, so they’d probably be pretty busy/eating pies.

People join your server and you trash talk them?

Yes, Blackgate is already enough of a bandwagon… Now we get a lot more of bandwagoners from the biggest of the old Bandwagons, ruining even more the old blackgate… I miss the days when we had no big guilds and the community was all around medium-small sized guilds helping each other.

So, no, i’m not welcoming the SoS players…

Don’t worry, if I see a HSSS player in WvW, I’ll make it a point to help them.

But thanks for your post. The melodrama is delicious.

1) Don’t run glass cannon mesmer

2) Don’t run GC Mesmer.

The endless string of broken updates from ArenaNET hints that they have no test server or even a test environment.

Acelerion.6820:

And internet

How rediculous

And intentional misspelling of comon words.

Rings: Cost a lot of dailies, but not a lot of time if you run

FRACTALS!

Amulets: Cost a reasonable amount of

DAILIES

Earrings: Cost a kittenload of dailies and money, but lucky there are

GUILD MISSIONS!

Hope that helps.

BG. Darlings. You’re better than this.

JQ, I don’t know you, but I suspect you all are better than this, too.

Be nice. Shake hands and conduct yourselves like ladies and gentlemen. You’ll be happier for it.

Love,

Me

crewthief.8649:

I think I know what happened. I’m thinking ‘some’ people couldn’t handle losing and lacked the intestinal fortitude to even bother fighting back, and instead went the easier, softer way and hopped to BG.

This is rather ironic considering why JQ are now no. 1.

Ah kitten I was hoping no one would tell him that, I got a good chuckle out of it.

No they shouldn’t.

BG needs one more week in tier 2 please.

No you will not SoR the ratings!!

SoR is the only server that can manipulate the ratings mmmmkay?

JQ and BG should work to keep BG in T2 for another week (or two) and keep the T1 match exactly as it is. Work on alts, PVE some, etc…..

It will give the old and new BG guilds a chance to coalesce and get to know each other better….. …. .. .

This.

The guilds that are transferring to BG aren’t even close to be fully transferred yet. MERC alone doesn’t even have 1/5 of their members yet.

We need another week.

You have my vote. I am all for it.

TC make a push! Score a ton of points and makes us both stay in Tier 2! I can’t stand being apart from you!

Oh…this thread, it makes me barf. Truly disgusting.

No. They are coming to roleplay with us next week.

For an RP server, you guys put up a hell of a fight around SMC last night O_o

Elementalist Obsidian and Monument sets!

gw1 had a whole bunch of people called the Test Krewe who would play on the test server. Where did that awesome idea go?

JQ are awesome at fighting those NPCs and inanimate objects, we should all bask in their glow.

are you enjoying your new server ? on the "winning " team ? …ahem ..

The server that has equivalent coverage to JQ?

See you next week.

For more of this.

I have the utmost respect for your guild I really do, but posts like this… Needless horn tooting, something bg have a history of doing before entering t1.(HB video anyone) all this serves to do is galvanise the other servers against you. I get it you recently transferred with several thousand others to a strong server and you think you’re all invincible. Take a step back and let your fists do the talking. I also guarantee foo have plenty of videos of them wiping you. because I have seen it first hand.

Hence “see you next week”.

Amazing what JQ can do when playing against NPCs. Seriously outstanding.

See you next week, “champs”.

Yeah I mean, SoR and SoS they so tired of getting steamrolled by JQ they just stopped playing WvW. You wonder why they always complain about not fielding enough numbers. Its because they know they aint got no chance in hell so why even log into WvW when playing against JQ.

It must be nice not knowing a thing about what SoS internal politics was like from your position, and then deciding to post about it here.

Again, see you next week.

MERC vs FoO

Waha’s at the front of their group.

I’m honestly disappointed in all of the people transferring from SoS.

As I said in the other thread, we play the game to have fun. WvW was not and has not been fun for a while now. Enjoy your complete lack of NA coverage and PvDooring Tier 3 keeps from breakout events.

The people leaving are doing so while the server is still strong, certainly strong enough for tier two, and before they even gave the server a chance to show how competitive and fun WvW could be in tier two. The only reason to jump ship now is because you want to be tier one. Very few people in tier one enjoyed WvW since transfers ended, not because the server changed, but because tier one changed. Before this whole mess started, SoS was on a great path to a strong and healthy competition in tier two.

I’ve made my point several times, which you keep on ignoring. I’m not going to repeat myself.

Cya.

Jayne.9251:

Yeah as I was reading through all of this I couldn’t help but feel badly for the folks on SoS who are remaining ….. This has to be hard to read. I’m sorry for that. I hope you guys regroup and surprise everyone

And whilst we’re wishing, I’d like a chocolate fountain made of edible orichalcum.

Is that really necessary?

Resonance.4216:

The reason I chose to go with MERC: T1 wasn’t fun against a server with huge amounts of coverage where SoS had none.

I don’t get this unless you’re talking about wanting to win overall. JQ and SOR will still have a weakness in oceanic timezones when BG get top T1, you’re going to run roughshod over the JQ and SOR players on at that timezone just like you’ve been doing on SOS. Its not like SOS in the oceanic timezone is struggling.

The point behind this is that it’s not much fun and leads to burnout if you put in overtime every night, then come back the next day after a nonexistent NA coverage has reduced your entire holdings to breakout events.

Even if JQ and SoR have a “weakness” in Oceanic times (please, have you even heard of Foo?), there’s no point exploiting that if the rest of the day is when YOU have a weakness. Oceania cannot hold up an entire server by itself.

The hostility is really necessary, I’m sure.

Haha he’s angry for real!

I’m not angry, I’m just disappoin- oh wait.

Btw: It seems like Kain may be in a good spot to earn a lot of points against SoS…similiar to what happened when SoR ran over an empty SBI.

SOS is not empty yet.

BG had a weakness in Oceanic timezones. ND and MERC are quite proficient in these times.

Maybe it’s just me… But I only saw 1 FOO tag in that whole video. Record with better quality next time, then people don’t have to ‘take your word for it’ that it was FOO, when 99% of the tags you can actually read don’t say FOO. I saw just as many EMP and PRX and names I don’t recognize as FOO.

Watch it in HD. it goes up to 1080p, genius XD

Wow, so your idea of “hard” is “how fast can I farm cash everyday”?

FlamingFoxx.1305:

I do think its ridiculous.
The only way to get higher up in FoTM is to get Agony Resistance and the only way to do that is to get fine infusions.

How long does it take you to get 75 fractal relics? because that’s all you need for AR. Not the current bullkitten that a fine infusion entails.

YES! This would be so good! No one in my guild brings minis with them in PvE because they take up inventory space!

If you can’t tell the difference between your attacks and your bleed/burn/poison damage, then this game is too advanced for your level.

Boomerang skills are meant to provide bonuses to you when they return. Therefore, cast them in a way that doesn’t clip with the environment.

Is there a reason GW2 doesn’t (still) have a test server for QA testing? It seems like every single patch that created an economical exploit or game-breaking bug could have been noticed if Guild Wars 2 had a feature that was present in Guild Wars 1.

Oh, and a party search system that doesn’t suck.

you’re upscaled. Find a zerg that doesn’t keep dying and stick to it.

Are glitching pets onto walls in order to take out defensive siege. Nice work JQ, and ANet for not patching this.
