Guild Wars 2

he who can.1058:

you would think you guys would be on FA with a guild tag like hzh

Actually, the majority of the guild played the Jade Quarry instance instead of the FA instance. That’s what made us decide to settle ourselves on this server the moment the game went live :-)

Anet is already investigating.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/WvW-matchups-kittened-after-patch/first#post2947625

Funny to see the game code knows we are the only good matchup for eachother, but the devs keep sticking their heads up their A|sses.

kitten?

Even faced [FEAR] and [HIRE] already, so it’s not only the scoreboard that is glitched….but the matchups entirely.

kitten happened?

We’re even fighting SoR players, so we definately have moved. Just killed people from FEAR and HIRE.

Wut happened?

Couple of comments on those screenshots

1) There are 3 exits from spawn
2) In screenshot 1 it looked like you actually have more numbers than JQ there…use them. Take that entire group out to left or right exit (see point 1). Assault the ballistas in the rear..—→….profit, lootbags and problem solved. God forbid you have to use tactics there though.

3) When ppl in WvW get bored, they do crazy stuff.

Hi Raoul.

Currently JQ is facing severly underpopulated servers.

FA and SoS (currently the #5 and #7 ranked servers) severely underpopulated?

I’m sorry.

I did not realise you considered SoS to be on par population wise with JQ.
My apologies.

r JQ’s que times as kittenome of your server mates r saying in some threads??? and is it on all 4 maps or just 1-2, and the ppl complaining r simple not smart enough to que up a dif one?

this filter is getting worse and worse

Unlike SoR we only queue about 2 maps during primetime zones. You’ll still outnumber JQ and get wiped unless your on 10 arrowcarts, take a deep breath.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Bold words considering JQ only runs 50+ deep minimum. Never seen us out-man JQ anywhere to be honest. Even numbers we win very simple no siege, no Nike sponsored JQ builds, no cheep tactics just open field even numbers.

I’m not sure why you feel spoken to or feel the need to reply?
Mance is replying to Sykkob, who is from SoR.

Anyway, you had your 5 minutes of PvF i guess?

Hi Raoul.

Currently JQ is facing severly underpopulated servers. Due to this, the only place we have a rare chance of seeing an enemy player in your timezone is EB, hence why everyone and their grandmother is queued up for that place. In the same time, the 3 borderlands don’t seem to be having troubles with long queues.
You said you requeue every 15 minutes, maybe you should try to wait a bit longer, since you’re basically giving up your spot in the queue every time.
After 30mins it usually pops and you can get EB map completion done.

I hope for you and all our sakes, that Anet get their heads out of their kitten and fix these matchups so T1 only faces T1 and occasionally TC.

I heard JQ pays a precursor + all the needed materials to make a legendary of it per alt a transferee has on it’s account.
Guild leaders get twice the payment.

It’s true.

Lol at forum filters..

Score update.
BG still ticking over 400ppt near the end of SEA….
Thank god they’re still recruiting, they really need it.

DKNS.2135:

First; when i wrote that post, it was not Oceanic/SEA by even the wildest stretch of imagination.

A little over 2 hrs ago…that’s pretty much oceanix if you ask me.

Anyway, we’ll recover ;-)

Lemrish.5970:

It was our late NA staying up until 2-3am that got us ticking so high. SOR has NA just as committed as BG’s so we usually negate each other. Give your new NA guilds some time to adjust. Also, don’t worry, your superior SEA/EU coverage will have you ticking back high in no time!

Oh, I am not worried, far from. I’m just replying to some unneeded chestthumping there :-)

DKNS.2135:

Is JQ tanking for more guilds or what?

It’s only Monday and BG is already running at +425 :o

Ok Ok, I’ll bite, but….
I’m just going to reply with the following.

Blackgate has had the strongest Oceanic presence of all servers, everywhere. Ticking around 400ppt is no unusual thing for BG in that timezone.
The last week however the following gems have been posted considering your Oceanic timezone

A [GoF] representative, guild leader and i assume also community leader started this recruitment post, stating BG needs oceanic guilds
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/recruitment/Blackgate-Recruiting-SEA-Euro-and-Oceanic-1/first#post2896315

Also, the following gem was found browsing through Posts from Oceanic players looking for a new home.

mobilejunkie.9260:

Blackgate is a tier 1 server but is undermanned during Oceanic time. Refer to https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/recruitment/Blackgate-Recruiting-SEA-Euro-and-Oceanic-1 for more details.

But really, it’s us, JQ, who is stacking themselves ;-)

Even if you throw in SoR in the matchup, the BG oceanic tick is the following:

Blackgate Outmanned during Oceanic? Wut?

Picture 2.
Note how everything is the same with the above picture.

Blackgate took the buff by only holding 1 (!) capture point.

Broken mechanic is broken….

gebrechen.5643:

It is possible to capture. BG did it 3 times in the last hour with holding one base. We held 3 bases for 2 minutes, most of us left the middle, BG took 3 bases, lost 2 of them with 1:30 left and the cap went through.

So please, turn it off or get it fixed.

True.
Here are some screenshots to confirm. This horribly imbalanced and broken bloodlust buff isn’t only broken in game design and balance, but also in it’s code.

Picture 1:
Pls note my location on the map, the score, the timer, the colours of Lake and Lowlands and the location of the commanders.

Didn’t you know? The forums ar eonly a marginal part of the community, hardly worth listening to.
It’s true, Devon Carver said so…

Hi

We have noticed that the capture requirements for the Bloodlust Buff are bugged.
Often a timer keeps going for a team, and even when they don’t own 3 capture points they’ll still get the buff.

As you can see on the timer ,the score, location of my character, location of the commanderpins, colour of Lowlands and lake, swords on Lake and whatever, this picture was taken a couple of seconds before the one in the post above. You can clearly see Blackgate only holds 1 capture points, yet the timer keeps ticking.

JQ killed him around 4 times today.

SkeletalLlama.5381:

JQ just got him down to 1-2% with the night crew at 4am. We were so close.

I literally cried a little there.. :-/

Let’s settle this once and for all.

We’re over halfway the matchup and all 3 servers are within 5K of eachother.
Since the new recruitments not a single timezone has had a blowout by one server or another anymore and ppt stays withing 50-75 points from eachother.

I don’t see the bad thing there?

The only people i can see here with legit complaints are the ones who used to PvDoor and now lost that ability.

Mini Crinny.6190:

This forum just reached a new level.. omgggggg

If we keep this up, we may actually finally be able to reach #magswag PvF levels any time soon.

We clearly are missing something.
The event is now halfway on Jade Quarry.
We have a coordinated guild on teamspeak manning the turrets.
All people are using the waypoint when downed, as you can see in the screenshot.
The fingers and undead on the turrets are being killed….
The healthbar doesn’t move at all.

If i remember correctly, when the trailer and dev stream came out, the devs themselves had to use cheats to get the healthbar low enough to reach the second stage….that should say something…

I wonder if they took scaling into account?

Event just ended, we got him down to 80%

Azure.8412:

I’ve heard rumors that MERC might go to JQ with ATM. Dramaaaaaaa.

As far as trolling drama-starters go, you just won the prize!
It would surprise me if that info is even remotely correct, especially because you’re neither on BG or JQ.

Honestly, it’s a 8/10 troll attempt, one of the better out there, really good.

Deli.1302:

Rhaegus.8924:

Can someone please help me?
I still can’t understand why people are complaining we recruited 4 guilds?

2 guilds, GD and TKG, to fill up the absolute void we had in EU and oceanic.

2 guilds, NS and Agg, to replace the 4 (!) guilds we lost in NA (aco, WARD, WvW, Pro)

You guys really prefer to fight our doors? I simply can’t find another explanation :-/

You didn’t lose WvW. Just it’s guild leadership.

Glad you know ALL the things about guilds on servers you loathe.

No, Zombieland is empty. After their leaders left the players also left the guild, thus leaving an empty guild.

muekung.2518:

Wait ? Pro left JQ ?

Most of them went inactive and started playing FFVII or something like that.

SykkoB.9465:

Omg enough guys, we all recruit and all have r strong timezones.

NA once was SOR’s strongest may still be, but with additions to JQ its a little more evened out now.

OCX Has been BGS strongest for awhile, but even this time zone has evened out over time, i still think BG has a small advantage here tho but not a massive one

SEA Once belonged to JQ, but BG is close and may have more then JQ now , SOR is a little behind in this time zone but thats ok we will work with the great teams we have here. Even this timezone tho isnt as bad as it once was and is alot closer

EU Once belonged to BG since they had the only EU, Sor has now taken the lead in this timezone, but again even this timezone is closer then ever esp with JQ new additions

This is a very fair and honest breakdown of the situation. Thank you!

Monsoon.2589:

Rhaegus.8924:

As BG liked to point out and rub in our face last matchup, we have had nowhere near enough coverage to win vs them or SoR.

I have a solution for you:
How about moving away from T1 and let another server in instead of trying every options to desperately stay in T1?

Like what server then?

Oh sorry, never mind. You were hoping to get one you can PvD against :-D I misunderstood it at first.

Hmm, i find this all strange.

JQ had no EU coverage -> we recruit 1 guild there.
JQ had no Oceanic coverage -> we recruit 1 guild there.
JQ lost 4 of its NA guilds to SoR and attrition -> we recruit 2 to replace them (one of which was part of the old EMP anyway)

As BG liked to point out and rub in our face last matchup, we have had nowhere near enough coverage to win vs them or SoR. We try to adress this by recruiting a guild in each timezone to make us competitive, and all of a sudden we’re bad guys who stack up beyond recognition?

I really don’t follow the logic there.
or do you people really wanted us to stay without EU and Oceanic guilds?

Eye r confused

Seigfried.5938:

JQ is here for easy wins. It is either super stacked or double teaming to at least secure a 2nd place.

We can’t help it the other servers start attacking the targets we attack ;-)

By the way, good sir, easy wins vs SOR and BG….. you are hallucinating.

Sounds to me you need Melandru runes and Pots of Lemongrass poultry soup…

BAITness.1083:

To the JQ people talking smack: You are losing right now, it isn’t a big deal. It happens.

;-D

Please give me examples and quotes from people from JQ talking smack in this thread (I don’t think i have seen any.)
Then pls quote all the BG people talking smack in this thread.

If we’re losing something, it’s the PvF.

And we again see how well JQ (or SOR) holds up in T1 without a third server to hold their hand.

They don’t.

Dude you serious? Use some common sense SoR cancels out the time zones that BG has and JQ does not. That simple, give us the coverage and we will see who wins. Your 10k lead has been gained through Oceanic/ part of SEA. Thanks but use head next time please.

Agreed +1, SoR has had OC that offered competition in the old matchup (largely reduced due to Lorthos quitting and HIRE becoming a non-factor guild in WvW) and in FA/JQ we have little to fight against. Nothing can be helped about thakittens not like we’re suddenly going to stop playing because a large portion of the hardcore oceanic base has left the game – we have to get all the fights we can get and prepare for match-ups where the other servers have that said coverage.

Great classy reply, too bad a few trolls always manage to sour things up where they shouldn’t be.
Great fights we had in Oceanic though :-) With the little numbers we had i think we did our best. When you were pushing EB keep hard I got into your Hills lordroom, happy like a kitty that we would break it…and then i heard ‘oh s*it’ in vent, and 50 MERC + CA rolled over us. Fun times…
Mission accomplished though, you didn’t get EB keep :p

:-D

Kodiak.3281:

And we again see how well JQ (or SOR) holds up in T1 without a third server to hold their hand.

They don’t.

BG earns their lead during EU and Oceanic timezones. Both timezones JQ has nearly no one to fight BG with.
During SEA and NA scores are pretty even between both.
Will BG win this matchup? Ofcourse…
Will BG win because they outclass us? Not so sure.

greets and keep it classy.

You guys should all remember that most of the devs have their accounts on Sanctum of Rall and play WvW on that server. Of course they wont see the problem :p

Jet.4795:

Adjusted, thx

Kalgarr.5684:

It’s called BG fighting all of SoR and JQ at once for days. Yet we still managed to beat JQ.

We in jade quarry are proud of what we can accomplish what we do, with the numbers that we have.
The ammount of wvw guilds/numbers both BG and SOR can bring to the field is bigger than what we have available, that is a simple fact. Logic dictates that both BG and SoR will beat us more often than not, and JQ wins like a couple of weeks ago are a rare occasion. I think currently JQ has 4 guilds that can frequently field 20-25 people ( pls correct me if wrong ) – SF, ATM, SG and HzH. If you compare that to the large WvW oriented guilds in SoR or the continuing stream of transfers BG gets, then it should be no surprise JQ doesn’t always rank 1st or 2nd.

That being said, please don’t take that as a complaint but a mere opinion and point of view from me.

The last couple of weeks the jq community teamspeak has become a fun place to hang out as matchups and fights are being taken less serious and theres more room for goofing around and trolling ( the fun kind) in between guilds and guildees.
On the other side map coordinations are still in full buisness and when Jq really wants something, we can get it. Earlier today a coordinated crossmap push made us capture 3 waypointed t3 keeps from BG in the span of a minute from eachother.

Guess theres a whole lot going on everywhere and each server has its motives, but the fact that BG finally managed to surpass us this matchup and you chestthump over it wil honestly not cause people from jq to loose any sleep over it.

Respectfull greets

Edit- text adjusted with Ben Sheets info, thx Ben

While we play GUILD wars, we don’t have:

- Guild halls
- Guild vs Guild wars
- Guild managing mechanics (How to know who contributes and who is not playing for 5 months. God knows)

yeah…

This is how [HzH] deals with Omega rushes.

Jahn.7019:

Jet.4795:

Trying to push SoR for 1st is really hard when BG never leaves JQBL.

BG what if I said SoR took your cookies AND your bacon…?

Maybe take a look in BGBL. You have an 80 man zerg keeping us there. If anything we kind of have to push you on your map to keep you off ours. We almost reset an SOR T3 keep tonight and had to pull back to BGBL because of this zerg. Meanwhile, as happens all to often in Oceanic/Sea, SORBL is near empty and JQ and BG fight whilst SOR gets their waypoints and upgrades up.

In both JQ and BG’s defense though, the best fights are between these two servers during this timezone. Kind of hurts our PPT but whatever, good fights are hard to come by in WvW except for this timezone.

Took this pic 30 mins ago, smack in the middle of SEA time.
Check our border, check BG border and compare that with what you wrote :-)

assasin of warr.9517:

yesterday in sea time jq blob zerging a gvg.

I’m sorry, but i really have to respond to this. (not only your post, but posts made by several other people already.)

Yesterday i was in the ATM group that crashed what apparantly was a GvG.
We were getting supply to make our final push on Hills. The south camp (you know, the one near the windmill) kept flipping to either BG or SoR, so we went in to claim it back and get supplies. Right after the capture of the camp someone called out a SoR group was stacking up at the base of the windmill, so our reaction was stack up aswell and dive in. At that time we did not see ant BG group yet, nor did we have any evidence of a GvG going on. Our perception was it was the SoR group that recently capped the camp, getting ready to recap it after wel left. As soon as we dove in it became apparant that a lot more SoR people were behind the windmill, so we kept chasing them, bumping into Meow who had joined the fray by then.

After that fight people on our TS pointed out that it might have actually been a GvG that we had interrupted, and i don’t think your GvG got interrupted again after that by ATM.
If you do GvG’s on our border, fine…But if you keep flipping that camp in the progress, expect the hometeam to look for the cause of the constant flips and deal with it.

Stephen.9852:

HzH, we’re coming for you!

We already have chocolatechip coockies, can you bring the milk?

HzH recruitment is back open after the free pass weekend. We’re as always still looking for WvW players on JQ :-)

As always, keep it classy [Aco], you guys are good enough not to need this kind of bs.
He’s been taking supply out of the garrison the entire night already.

I’m gonna quote a very respected and veteran WvW commander here. He said this while our guild was forming up.

’ We are a little low on eles tonight, expect the run to be harder than usual. ’

Now, you may have your opinion, but elementalists who have mastered their class are parts of a team who simply can’t be replaced by any other class.

Beo.1058:

Thanks for letting us know we take this sort of thing very seriously and this gentlemen should be gone. If anyone else sees any Aco in JQ WvW let me know

Thank you for the quick response.

Pillage and kitten SoR BL

http://i.imgur.com/x9dGUir.jpg

It seems JQ NA has surpassed SoR despite losing WARD and ACO to SoR.

Unfortunatly it was a bit more complicated than that. WARD, aco and TW had our own borderland on lockdown, we got our kitten handed over to us, repeatedly. While our decisions we made were sound, the field play wans’t always there to back it up. However… it meant their 3 best guilds were tied up in there, reports said SOR also had 70 ppl on their own border which meant they weren’t able to transer over to their home border, thats when we decided to go there and redo them the favor of flipping their garrison.

[aco] and [WARD] both are formidable opponents on the field, and i still hope they once will return to their old home on JQ.
