Guild Wars 2

Why must topics like this happen? Is this what our society has been reduced to? The constant struggle not for equality, but for demands being placed on art. We all have our values, but no one cause should define your life. If your really passionate about your morality then there are so many real life causes you can get involved in.

Perhaps the whole “it’s a video game or it’s art” arguments are overdone, yet they are the most constant and logical ones to make. Even if female body image was on the creators’ brain, does not you noticing it make it on yours as well? That is perspective. Step outside of yourselves from time to time.

Lord Kuru must be one of the nobles trying to take over the human leadership.

So that’s what we looked like from the other side! Unfortunate that we failed to stop you for long, but we put in the effort. You all know how to keep coming back and zerg bigger and bigger.

Losing all of Eternal Battle grounds to a nooblet commander named Slayer Paragon Lord. Shame on your FA and DB! Taking over for a fellow AoS, I never thought JQ would go that far. It was a blast. Can’t take all the credit.

Special thanks to fellow commanders:

Cloud Fly and Hammie for holding the north half.
Shadowmane X for awesome supply running and holding the line.
Alessandria for bravely taking Durios and Bravost under fire.
Of course all the JQ on the map. We made it happen!

Squishy.3806:

Liking this match up already. Past weeks have been dull!
JQ keeping us busy ^^

You best be ready. Not only do we got well organized zergs of skilled players and commander, but they bare golem gifts! :P

Finally someone who is not Sor and BG ! Good luck. I’m just happy to see new opponents vs our JQ skills with kills

Some left on their own will. So it’s their choice. The more people join one server, the more people will realize they are waiting in long lines for a solid color map and no challenge. I’m sure then some will look elsewhere.

Jscull.2514:

Moving our 5 man as a last effort not to quit the game. Name some places where small mans fight small mans daily. We understand the 80 mans are around, dont care well avoid them. We dont want to zerg bust, we want other small mans to legit fight. Ones that dont add to 10 when they lose? Do those exist? Please advise.

You could join us on JQ. BG and SOR can be massive balls of zerg, but for your five man team, you could slip in and cap stuff. There is always a borderland we are never on that you can run around grabbing karma and outnumbered buff all night long.

You will have to get good good at zerg dodging. could be a new challenge….

Hes being honest about how many of us JQ feel. Kind of getting tired of massive BG and SOR zergs we can barely fight off. Would be nice to be green again and fighting off new opponents. JQ has awesome guilds and players, but on numbers we are hurting.

Evon will clearly profit off anything. How is he a “Charr of the people” when he sells Consortium good, clothes that mimic the terrorist sky pirates that attack Lion Arch and charges high trading post taxes on all goods. This is an outrage!

Ellen is also not scandal free. Who is this Mariners group that sponsors her and what do they want in return? What deal did she cut with the Asura group? Surly both are going to want a return investment for her support!

Scandals!

I think we should ask a professional Asura scientist on how to deal with golems. On the other hand, that’s not always a good idea.

CuddleStrike.8215:

Too much hating, needs more loving….
In conclusion, HAVE A SCORE UPDATE!

Was so happy I took SM for JQ. BG stole my first attempt, but then we ninjaed apaper SM. Still worked out well. I’m a rather rookie commander, so this was my first SM cap. LOL

This is a suggestion for having a low payment option of 5 dollars to get 400 games. Good for those with not much money or when we don’t need too many gems.

Rock Star treatment. That means millions of groupies for some top commanders and waking up in the gutter wondering what happened for others.

Simply put, it would be nice to be able to solo story mode dungeons. For this, I am asking we have henchmen like in GW1. These henchmen must be capable of handling the fights though.

This will not ruin or cheapen group dungeons. It will only apply to story mode. Most of the story can be soloed, so this is only fair.

JQ will be open very soon.

As of 6:05 AM EST, Blackgate over took us in score.

NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (dramatci)

Jade Quarry just opened this up. Come now if you need it.

Need uncontested NA. Anyone?

IN NA, people leave the top three servers all the time. Why this never happens in the EU is a mystery. You would think it would spread out by now and yet it doesn’t seem to.

Anti-JQ Trolls: “Our rams will block out your siege!”

JQ: “Then we will…..um……..fight reenforced doors with our swords?”

Unfortunately what JQ has had to deal with lately.

I am having a weird issue. I can log into Jade Quarry home border and Blackgate, but when i try to log into Sanctum or Rall or Eternal Battlegrounds, I am getting error 5:11:3:157:101.

As an avid wvw player, this makes things difficult. Why some wvw works and others don’t is beyond me.

Long range usually gets more bags then melee or short range. Rifle, longbow, staff is all good. A very high level engineer with explosives and rifle sure works. Longbow ranger is quite nice. Staff necromancer is fine too.

They key to getting bags is keeping yourself at a safe distance while doing lots of damage from afar. Switch targets constantly and AoE when possible!

Lecter.7486:

Oh and generally I have to wait 10min on EB. Flame flame flame lame.

Go on line for EB, then go to a borderland and help them until your EB ticket pops. That’s what I do. Nobody should complain they have to wait if they do that. If you seriously can’t get in anything, which is rare, then just try another time zone. Even on ‘stacked’ JQ, you can get in most of the time.

The long lines thing is mostly a myth.

crystalpink.2487:

About a month ago, someone already pointed out that fresh fruit is overpowered lol

That was me! You bet its overpowered! My characters aren’t skinny, not even the female one. All this fatty food is making it harder to keep up with the JQ zergs. I Choose to diet by not eating as much as others do.

I’m tired of people attacking me with fresh fruit buffs. This thread has my 100% support!

Samhayn.2385:

As a roamer I was wondering what map BG and JQ roamers frequent, getting tired of people who run from a fight to a keep or a Zerg. Well that’s if there are any roamers left on those servers.

I go solo half the time and almost always run from a fight to other people or a keep/tower. Why? The moment I’m spotted I can almost always count on five, ten, one hundred people coming out of nowhere and pounding me. I have lead enemy zergs chasing me like I was their commander.

Rather then being hung up on the current story, lets focus on future stories. Compose things we would like to see in any major expansions. May contain spoilers.

Let’s start were we left off. People griped about Trahearne, but he gave you command before the story ended. This should not be forgotten. This makes the personal story redeemable for those who didn’t like not feeling more in control. In future games, the player character should take center stage.

I also think that story should be more solo friendly. Even in an MMO, not everyone is social or can simply get a group together any time of the day. This includes the final boss. You could always adjust the rewards to be better fro group play.

Needless to say any expansion needs it own rewards. New armor and weapons are a must. New craftables as well. This I would expect. Just make sure they are unique and worth having.

most people just goofed off. only a few had to do things like resurrect lords. most resurrected players for fun or ran around.

We Americans also had a strange crash followed by a screwed up wvw bug. About 2 hours ago.

I was wondering around taking screens. At first I had no idea what was going on until i came across “Boril Pass”. I took screens and reported it. I found out I could resurrect people. Was I on T1 server or not? what was going on?

I tried not to interact too much, but i posted one in bug report.

So I was on my Necromancer and there was a strange crash where people from my server and other servers on the same tier was able to be in the same server as yaks bend anvil rock and borlis pass. I took some screenshots.

In tier one, we all like our servers like we like our pancakes. Stacked!

The menu includes one stack of JQ. I assure you I find this one delicious.

Not enough? Try Blackgate with an extra helping of Sea Of Sorrows. Its really stacked!

Lets not forget Sanctum Of Rall perfectly sandwiched in the middle of both stacks.

Tier one. Delicious and filling.

Defiantly broken! I’m glad I’m not the only one having this issue.

People think of Asura as being scientists and assume only humans have religion. Humans have the only traditional religion that worships gods. Charr, aside from maybe the Flame Legion, are the ones that have none. The Asura do have one, called the Eternal Alchemy.

I originally saw the Eternal Alchemy as a philosophy. That is until I heard an Asura talking to himself that his own findings have to be wrong because they conflict with the beliefs of the Eternal Alchemy. Does this make the Eternal Alchemy a religion that can’t be questioned?

Wiki Definition:

The Eternal Alchemy is the common deistic ideology of the Asuran view on the world, the Mists, and all life. The belief states that all things and events are part of a greater scheme of existence and that even the Human Gods, the Spirits of the Wild, and other deities are a part of this grand scheme as mere cogs, albeit larger ones. Although the Asura do not know where this scheme will lead, they strive to figure out the Eternal Alchemy and its secrets.

The Eternal Alchemy is divided into separate aspects that relate to different parts of the world. The only known aspect is that of chaos and strife. Eternal Alchemy is said to express itself through cogs and each individual person or aspect of life is considered a cog. To the Asura, death means returning to the grand equation and allowing the Eternal Alchemy to continue its work.

The bags, the bags going to be everywhere! Oh the humanity!

First came about ground? They been above ground since Eye of the North expansion in Guild Wars 1. That was over 250 years ago. The Sylvari firstborns are only 25 years old. Rata Sum and Asura empire would have already existed. Of course the Asura experiment on everything.

You dont get the point.

Asura used Sylvari as test subject like a guinea pigs. There is a difference between researching to conducting experiment on a race.

You do know that Asura think one day everyone will be ruled by Asura empire. Of course then Inquest wouldn’t mind experiments no matter what.

SoS had the golems. Don’t forget we had to fight them from the other side.
Our WP didn’t work most of the time. We used spawn.
Many times we had an open circle.
SoS attack between Choo/Sor attacks. Not every attacker was Choo.

Bragging the we held EB Lowlands keep for six hours straight might not be so impressive if not for the level of people, effort and gold that both SoR and SoS through themselves into that keep. I have never seen anything like it.

Just wave after wave of attacks, non stop shelling, holes in almost every wall, broken gates, broken water gate, golems and everything one could use to attack. I just don’t know how both we held on to it nor how both servers could fail.

I don’t want to hear any of that ‘JQ has numbers’ stuff after that. We was outnumber very badly. Numbers not on our side, we had no supply for siege or to make repairs. JQ held with manpower alone. During JQs weakest hours no less.

Take pride JQ, you earned it in EB today.

JQ is right now holding off both SoR and SoS in JQ keep on EB. Really heroic and over 5 commanders. The hate on us is strong, but we can fight back.

Of course this always going to be filled with hypocrisy. If any other server got an influx of players, they would be happy. No one complains they are winning too much, only losing too much.

If SoS drops to t2 and starts dominating there, I’m sure they will complain about winning and say that its not fair to the other servers that they are winning. Right?

Jahn.7019:

Never seen a winning server with such a bad attitude before.

Pretty disgraceful.

Like they say in far away galaxies:

The flame bait is strong with this one. ITS A TRAP!

Not having supply stashes in keeps and towers protected from supply use by players.

Seems you just started the mega thread. Well played.

SoR seems to be more about getting kills then getting points. I think they could do much better in the score if they wanted to.

This matchup is getting pretty stale now. JQ’s first place is uncontested and we’re fighting the same opponent day after day, week after week. In the meantime, people are pointing fingers to Anet for lack of content updates and anything new to make things different and exciting.

I say if we want something new and exciting, it’s totally in our hands. SoS and SoR should team up and fight JQ 2v1. This will DEFINITELY make things more fun and exciting than wvw is in its current state. Yea, yea, some will say “wvw = 1v1v1”, “red means dead” and blah blah blah, but would you rather cling onto your pride and repeat the same thing over and over, week after week with no differing results? or try something new and make things more fun for us all?

It’s pretty clear that JQ is first and SoS and SoR are competing for second. The idea of allying with another server to beat them (because you can’t do it alone) can be humbling. But really, who cares? let’s face the reality. Neither SoS nor SoR can beat JQ alone. And besides, it’s a freaking video game, so who cares? It’s all about fun, and I’m sure SoS and SoR coalition will make wvw much more exciting than it is now. I say we make this week SoR & SoS vs JQ.

Does anyone realize how many weeks in a row that it was SOS stomping JQ and SBI? JQ and SBI fought for 2nd place? How is this any different now?

SOS was first from Week 47 to Week 04 with the exception of 1 week. This is 10 weeks in a row (minus Week 01)

It seems only a fellow JQ would ever bring this up.

SBI winning: No Problem

HoD winning: No Problem

SoS winning: No Problem

JQ winning: Problem.

The competitive nature of T1 is leading to some much not needed drama. I guess that can’t be helped.

I transferred to JQ back when HoD was number one. We have been struggling in Tier One for a long time. The extra numbers help us, buts its still not perfect and we still get outmanned in certain times or some battle grounds. HoD never seemed to have this problem ever. JQ was the only server ever to beat HoD legit and wow was that a tough week of nasty fights.

Now with SoR in T1, its gotten more even and I enjoy fighting them. SoS was always winning until recently. Now i see hate from SoS on forums and not always a good showing on the battlefield. I mainly play EB and I see SoS just not performing as well as SoR does when I play.

If any JQ are making trouble, perhaps they are more recent transfers. JQ always seemed rather good nature when I joined.

Your mother’s IQ is slow low that she doesn’t even know how to crossthread a micronfluxcapacitor multiphasic unit with a simple dimatrix array power inversion unit equipped with a subsonic alpha wave modulation circuit.

I mean, how human do you have to be not to realize that a simple recalibration of the carbohypothermic intake valve release frees up the injection array subprocessing unit so that it can combocalculate the exact reverberation of the magic stream inversion coil.

::eyeroll::

what a dolt.

Why crossthread it when you can simply multicrossthread it. Also the dimatrix array power inversion has been outdated by the new trimatrix array power inversion which has an exponentially better power inversion capacity. You don’t even need the subsonic alpha stream inversion coil at all, in fact it was proven to slow down the process by tenfold with the new trimatrix array.

There is no need to combocalculate, that’s just wasting your iterations. Simply take a quantum nucleic phasitron and adjust it to entwine into the array. You can get rid of the entire coil and intake valve.

Seriously… who taught you this stuff?

These are some serious Asurans. Anyway….

Your mother’s IQ is so low golems repair her circuits!

Few hours ago we bust the inner gate of Stonemist, got instantly rolled by the over by a train of SoR. Unfortunately that broke us. Until then JQ won whenever the two trains collided.

I can see now J got SM. People waking up. lol
