You want to know why you dont see JQ on SOS BL, that is because WORK is there and kurthos does not let those heathens step onto his holy lands. They try ever so hard to get a foothold but break before the might that is kurthos’s will. So then JQ goes to BG and takes your paper keeps.
I mean fighting the mortal BG commanders is a far easier of a task then fighting kurthos for JQ.
Sad show from Tier 1 servers thus far, You hold SMC yet never take advantage of its tactical benefits against blue. Never in any of the previous tiers have I seen it more obvious. Tier 2 was more a show of Skill and tactics than Tier 1.
All we got in Tier 1 is two zerg servers banding together afraid to lose their positions.
We’ll strip it from you eventually, your double team is nothing but a very very sad and disgusting delay. No one deserves to be up this high with those kind of tactics.
You think that SoS is double teaming you with JQ? BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
If T2 shows more tactics and skill, how is it that you can dominate there and not in T1? All I see are excuses. Sad really. I thought that BG were going to “make their statements on the battlefield”.
Seems like it will be the same as last, except now we will lose eu timezone to BG and not JQ. Too early to tell though, see if we get our same 10-15k lead that will sustain us through EU with BG only chipping off 4k during eu. Looks promising though since BG only seemed to push us to around 170 ppt on average during our weak hours while jq pushed us to sub 100 in there prime.
I’d like to propose an alliance with BG as early as now. Let’s seal it with a handshake (or a kiss). You know this is gonna happen. Might as well do it here where everyone can see. I of course speaks for the entire SOS server and what i say is official.
- Random, unknown SOS forumer
I agree, need to decide when it is most effective to 2v1 JQ. I say BG and SOS keep JQ under 100 ppt during there prime time and then once jq logs off then we can fight for 1st and 2nd.
Jade Quarry leaving it all on the floor this week.
Luckily for SoS, we won’t have to worry about you guys ‘leaving it all on the floor this week’ until the next major holiday. /eyeroll
By the way, it’s Monday.
Stay mad. We’re still ticking 450. SoS is just proving they can’t compete with JQ when the numbers are even.
No need to troll bro. Many people worked hard for this let’s not ruin it by making it personal.
I don’t think you know what trolling means. We’re on the same team here too.
trash talking and stroking that ego.
[citation needed] Pointing out our lead on SoS and stating that we are superior when the playing field is even qualifies as trash talking and stroking my ego?
God some people just have no class
Had some nice fights this week JQ, had some real memorable fights this week.
I admit JQ may have the upper hand this week as SBI spy Profitsports who xferred here since WM moved to Kaineng drains our supplies from our keeps and SMC.
The fact that we are still in the lead must make his blood boil lol.
God that was a bad thief if it was a burst one, any good burst thief would of not took longer then 3 secs tops on a bad day. That was just you playing bad. When you are getting hit with about 30k burst in the span of little under 2 seconds then come back.
10 seconds is a lifetime and half.
So i have been disconnected a couple of time today cause of the stupid sound bug, in my own keep no less when i am defending. Cant say that has made me very happy.
It’s funny, because a very similar “trade window” existed in the original Guild Wars.
It’s a shame how many useful features from GW1 didn’t make it to GW2.
And this is entirely about ArenaNet’s desire to have a hand in the market. They’re intent on taking gold out of the economy to make gem -> gold conversions seem better.
The devs made a conscious decision not to include direct trading. The biggest reason why there’s no direct trade window is because it can be used to scam people. It is impossible to scam people on the BLT, however.
It is impossible to scam a person with a WOW like trade window.
Well, list the advantages of a trade window then.
Aside from “able to avoid sales tax” there is really none. The sales tax is an important gold sink. Whether it’s good or not can be debated (I think it’s necessary), but does not take away from the functionality of the trading post.
I am not arguing for or against, i am just pointing out that a wow style trade system is scam proof per say since there is no issue of trust.
Lets say player A is trading item X, with player B who is trading item Y.
A believe X is of equal value to Y, which is why he’s making the trade. However, if he did more research, he would find out out X is double the market value of Y, and that if he sold X on the global market and bought Y with that money, he’d have Y + extra money. A just screwed himself out of some money, or B convinced A somehow to screw himself out of money.
There’s many many situations where players who aren’t knowledgable about certain things can get screwed out of things. Forcing everything to go through the trading posts ensures that NOTHING of this nature can happen at all.
Say i place a buy order for dusk for 25 G for kittens and giggles, some noob sees it since it is the only buy offer up at the time and thinks its a good deal not reading the rest of the the TP info like fact that it is being listed for 300G. I mean he is noob and does not want to try understand the TP yet or do any research about what he is selling. I mean he just thinks some sap is an exotic for 25 g when most other go for like 1g.
I guess we need the TP to go since it cant cover stupid there.
Edit
I could care less what kind of trading system is in the game. But arguing on doing something based on stupid or lazy is not a very good argument at all

it is poor, flawed logic. Sometimes, I don’t get where they are coming from and they are so bloody biased. The game mechanics, logic employed by devs coupled with the lack of communication, and poor optimization is losing my interest fast. But hey, lets all just play theives, because they are single target masters. In fact, lets make wvw, just like pvp… where you have thieves, mesmers, warriors and guardians only. Guild wars? no. 4 class wars? yes
The only games that allowed unlimited AoE targetting would end up grinding to a complete stop when a huge force started getting AE’d in a chokepoint. The sheer amount of calculation and bandwidth requirement pretty much murdered servers in past MMOs.
For example if AOE was unlimited: You cast an aoe spell that hits 60 people. the server has to calculate in each tick the total damage to apply to each person, send that information to the person recieving the damage and the person sending it, plus combo information to anyone interacting with the combination field. The damage is based off armor value of the person and the attack level of the person, plus a few random proc rolls that its got to do for each damage tick. So if AOE was unlimited that one spell per tick has a huge amount of calculation to do, and bandwidth to consume. Now imagine a 60 on 60 fight where one force of 60 is concentrated for a second getting hit by all 60 enemies aoe’s. Sure they are going down fast, but during that second its going to lag out completely as the servers CPU will start stressing under that immediate load. It might take the server 10 seconds to do all the calculations it needs to do for 1 second of player activity.
Thus an AoE cap.
Siege is exempt for a couple reasons, 1, its limited in its placement, 2 there is much less calculation to do, as its only based on the opponents armor, there are no proc effects to consider. But even with this we still get lagstorms in sieges where all 3 servers are fighting over the center of stonemist.
The AoE cap has to exist or Anet will have to implement its own form of Time Dilation.
If you want to get an idea what this lag would be like, if you were there in Warhammer when there were lots of people attacking keep or citadel and a bunch of wizards would drop huge aoe’s into the zerg coming up the ramp… LAG… LAG… LAG… everyone dead.
I agree, too many people miss this. GW2 is already a very gfx and cpu intensive game, with unlimited AOE w3 would just not work. IT woulds turn into a 3 min slide show at best with more then 20v20 as things try and calculate and catch up .
I also agree that it is one of the stupidest things as regards to tactics though, that the counter to aoe is to stack. That is like saying the counter to burst is to blow a skill that make you take x amount of more damage.
Lol i think JQ got a held SM for a point tick, maybe 2 if you are being generous. Kinda glad since i am never online for any SM captures and we have it all the time.
The SM incident by the mesmer from SOS opened a can of worms. Now everyone from all servers seem to be wall climbing… I noticed that the new patch introduced a new bug with jumping. Could it be that Anet is trying to fix this and the side effect is the introduction of the new bug?
All the major guilds on SOS back that mesmer and where in on his plan from a bad sweep so unless you are calling some of the biggest guilds on US right now liars there was no can of worms to be opened. Just people being sour.
I hope devs gets banned, exploiting into bluebrair on SOS BL. Cost us our push the first time having to retake, this was the second try.
Hello, unfortunately the screenshot shows someone with a [DEVS] tag fighting in a tower, which does not amount to anything other than that. I did ask all the guildies if they’re aware of any unsportsmanlike conduct within the guild and they said no. Please PM me if there is ever a problem.
Regards,
Yes it was a tower that had no walls knocked down and the previous owner was SBI before devs exploited cap the first time. That was the second time they tried to exploit the tower. The first time we had some sitting right in fount of the lords cause the tower was contested they capped.
kitten JQ, if your are going to ninja keeps after our we almost have it from SBI at least take the kittenhings. Stop being fail and wiping after the keep is practically given to you on a silver player.
Your reasons in this thread, to deny everyone else who missed out on the event to get an opportunity to experience the event, simply aren’t genuine. Please do not attempt to further argue for this double standard.
Lol that is funny, he got his fat loot so now kitten everyone else. Too bad so sad kinda deal when the shoe is on the other foot.
I like many other could care less about the loot, i am just sad to miss out on a major event since i am supposed to plan my life around a game if i want to experience the content it seems.
These one time events are really starting to turn me off from the game. Not all of us are kids that dont have to have a job and even then some of them miss it cause of school.
Then of course there is the whole timezone issue it is just so stupid. What the point of playing the game if i am just going to have to miss all of the new stuff since i have a life and cant plan it around a video game
And here SOR was warning the T1 servers to watch out. Got to make it through t2 boys lol. We might face off again next week less beastgeate gets smashed and that look like it might happen.
I thought for a moment there the t1 IOJ was back but then ;_;. I know they are better then this, maybe mass server transfers killed them HOD. I hope next week IOJ has a strong showing cause we will have one of the best mathups in the game if t1 IOJ shows up vs sos and sor.
I am kinda glad SOS gets to stay in t2, get a good rematch vs SOR instead of having to play trashgate.
I paly the game on max settings and it will play for at 60 fps for a while. Then the game will go to a black screen and then come back it will be at 10-15 fps. It will do that like twice and then it will just crash and i get the error
Guild wars has encountered unrecoverable gfx card error and must terminate
