If you guys want SBI to be your new playmate and already bored with BG, then dont do the focus attack on BG lol. Otherwise you would be with us for a long long time :P However, to be honest, i wouldnt really mind that, we love Zombie coast
That thief is surely skilled, but not sure how it applies to the thread at hand.
The videos are there to promote the server. It’s one kind of a PR thing. People wanna join the server when they know there are awesome people around! Check the vids, that’s the one i highly selected containing awesome feats inside.
Bleh, my post just got deleted while others of the same content of posts still avail…
Anyway, here is the vid from team [RIOT]
Enjoy!

Well, please send that clip to Anet and get the expliot spot fixed. From the look, it’s individual’s fun not the entire guild. Still eventhough that’s just a giggle exploits in small zone that doesnt even matter about supply camp capture but we’re not support any of the exploits.
PS: Please avoid putting up name of the guilds (flaming) all the related guilds there in public.
Well i start to hate some TC now as I dont see points to make “official allied pact”. You hit whoever that is weaker/easier to hit for more +PPT that’s how you win the 3 way battle. If you’re focus on hitting someone while allied with another server which also leading yours, you’re playing for 2nd or even 3rd.
TC, if you want to win at least 2nd. Hit anyone that is weaker than other, If you pact with SoR to focus attack BG only, you are playing for 2nd (or even 3rd) and being used by SoR.
The allies can be work if they managed to control all commanders from both server, not 100% but ive seen before. But please dont act like what JQQ and SBI had done to us in tier1. It was just plain sick and disgusting. We honored your fighting spirit TC. Dont let some forum dictators misguided you to this stupid allied idea.
Please ignore the guest from SoR. Im not saying we have less number than SoR or TC in Oceanic zone. Actually our target is far beyond SoR/TC which is to be in tier1. Thus the fact is that we still have no queue at all (unless primetime EBG prolly have like 10min on some occasion) telling that there are still rooms to improve our coverage even in Oceanic. And the fact that we have less NA/Aussie than SoR/TC is basicly the truth here.
All players are welcome here in Blackgate and there are still rooms for any timezone to perform
In addition to all being said, yes we aint satisfy with our coverage yet. In order for us to be able to compete in tier1 we need more from all timezome. Right now the best we can fill is EBG, but the rest of the borderlands rarely been queued. So yea plenty of rooms for any WvW guild to join for actions!
Wow, TC is the first server who get full on transfer? (Not even SoS is full…) We must be very careful when all the zombies are back to their coast from their new year vacation :P

To all my fellow TCers, love you all, now stop moaning… -“We dont need to beat em, just fight em”
This. There are reasons that you guys being called zombie coast by us, Because you guys fighting non stop and keep coming at us like zombie army
You guys doing great, keep on fighting! Dont let SoR beat you this week, it’s your turn to move forward!
Dear fellow GW2 WvW Players! Right now, Blackgate is looking for any transfers (NA/EU/Oceanic) to strengthen our Blackgate server. There is room for everyone to WvW. The worst queue time in EBG is around 10 minutes but the other borderlands have virtually no queue! We have an extremely solid community as well as proven, WvW experienced players to even PUGs. So if you’re looking for a 24/7 WvW challenge and a place that has virtually no WvW queue yet being very competitive in performance (won 9 weeks continuously in tier2 and now in tier1 -18/1/13), Blackgate is the place for you! Join us now!
Blackgate is currently looking for the particular following: [Now looking for all time zone! 18/1/13]
-NA Guilds (Both West Coast and East Coast)
-EU Guilds
-Oceanic Guilds (Australian Guilds/Etc)
-SEA Guilds (South East Asia Guilds)
Advantages to Joining Blackgate:
-Now in Tier 1! After proving our dominance in T2 against SoR/IoJ/TC for 9 weeks consecutive, we’ve since moved on to Tier 1. We give each server a run for their money even though we are the new kids on the block. Do you enjoy being the underdog and showing up those who believe they are better? Then come watch Blackgate’s finest on the field!
-Awesome coverage on Oceanic. With the recent transfer of DS/ND, we’re able to compete with SoS and JQ’s during these times. You’ll find that there is always a challenge and fun to be had!
-Great coverage on EU. We have HB, RK and their EU gang leading the charge plus our EU teams are superb awesome (see HB vid below)
-Strong NA guilds. We have a number of NA guilds (ICoa, EA, LotD, just to name a few!) who are quite competitive but need more support!
-Plenty of PvE action! If you’re a player looking for party, this is the place for you. There are multiple instance spams daily as well as FotM party invite spamming in LA!
-Several skilled and knowledgeable players even PUGs! (May be my bias here )
-Composes of small-medium guilds mostly. Our group of medium guilds working well together, having solid performances rather than relying on 1-2 bigger guilds. We also rose from the bottom to reach tier1 with a combine strength and perseverance! We also have http://www.blackgatewvw.com/ as our community website. And center Mumble/TS
Our Community Website: http://www.blackgatewvw.com/

Prop to TC, whom was able to hold Garr at TC borderland. kitten it! If the lord hadnt bugged out of the lord room outside the inner wall, we would have gotten it at that time. But anyway good fight, you guys definitely learning fast.
Great week so far for all!
TC, u definitely improved. Last time we met, you threw the towel and gave up on tuesday. This time you still fighting til it’s end with definitely much more zerglings you got than last time significantly. (Our people even named you Zombies, because you guys just wont give up and keep rising in numbers!)
SoR, well it’s all same o’l SoR QQ. Dont blame lack of Oceanic coverage. We all have weak coverage holes. In fact, actually in BG, most noticable oceanic guilds usually field 10(min)-20(max) ppl per guilds. That isnt much at all, there is no super big guilds in BG, im sure you are capable of handling us. For us, it used to be worse because IoJ’s king of Aussie usually kitten our castles during Pre Oceanic primetime thus we have more work to begin, now with no IoJ, it feel better
It’s Christmas/New Year anyway, the numbers now arent represent the real coverage. We’ll see the real deal after a week or two. (If we and you guys still have players left to play GW2 lol… kitten slow poke Anet)
Dear BG Thai guild,
We hear you knockin’ but you can’t come in!
Love,
TCBL
Also, three times with the NPC commander? lol cute.
I hope you enjoy our present, painted all green in your borderland topping with golems :P
Merry Xmas TC!
Guys – Can you all stop posting/discussing about the exploit here to avoid the thread get derailed and get locked?
You guys already know our stance which we all are against all kind of exploit/hack. Please note that we all have the same tool which is screenshot saving and report button. Please do yours and send the evidence to Anet directly and to those related guild leaders to rectify via ingame mail/PM. No point to post it here to flame.
Dude, so afraid of the truth. What is wrong with you? You have done nothing and reporting takes time. You got offended when it was pointed out someone in your guild hacked. If you can not do anything, these screenshots will keep coming. Fix you crap and you will see nothing. Please stop making excuses and defending, it makes you look worse than the actual hackers.
Ok let me recap you to a simple points:
-We all against all kind of exploits, and will warn/remove guildies that involved.
-You can just report to Anet yourself, and keep the matter directly to the related guild leader instead of posting here.
-However, you derailed the thread, accussing exploits, starting flame war, this thread will get locked soon.
How many times do i need to repeat this? We arent sit back. We already posted the exploit against policy, warned the members not to do, and even kicked some if they still keep doing it. Eventhough some got kicked, they still in the server, and will do anything themselves, we have no right to ban their account, only Anet can do. What you expect more from us seriously? Forum flame war? Reputation flamming? Is that what you want?
I think it’s been clear and i already stated my point. This will be my last response regarding this issue.

I was not trying to flame or derail. We chose to use this method so BG eg. Your server could take care of this issue in-house. But, if I see this happen again I will submit it to Anet.
Even you’re not intend to derail/flame, it’s in fact a derail in the thread and accusing of expliot which will get this thread lock again like all the other threads previously. And yes Please do, nobody stop you from submit it to arenanet. We, BG guilds are all against all kind of exploits.

But mostly, this is Guild “Wars”, I came here for an open warfare experience, I didn’t come here for “PvE Wars”, “Dungeon Raid Wars” or “Group Wars” on some postage-stamp sized spvp match of half a dozen a side. All other games do that kind of stuff and its universally boring for me, I’m here for the week long, big fights, long term tactical planning/manoeuvring and logistics required for my server to be winning a War.
This quote basicly summed it all! Anet, come on! Give WvW some more love… Those purposed changes, some of them u can do it within a day or two if you really want to do it… Do not wait for February. It might be way too late for our WvW population to shrink to the point of no return.
Dear BG Thai guild,
We hear you knockin’ but you can’t come in!
Love,
Well, good hold there to be honest TC. We’ll try again on weekday. Keep up your guard! Oceanic TC
This screen shot is cute, there were about 30 Thai waiting outside waiting no siege just waiting for the glitch pulled back as soon as they were seen. Thai smarter than Icoa with hacking just not by much…found 2 bg night before last climbing up from the water into water gate O.o dont ask me how.
Err can SoR please stop flamming us? What i can guarantee you that we will not glitch the wall jumping out to portal and get in your castle illegally. We always enforced our member not to do it and we’re not supporting any glitch play. If one did use it, and you guys seen please msg our commander in game and press report to that player for Arenanet. That’s our stance. AND obviously We were not waiting for the glitch to be pulled. That’s just a bullkitten SoR.
I’m sure that all your castles/towers that been demolished by Thais for several weeks, we were never using any glitch play (wall jumping, etc) to obtain them. Stop that nonsense flamming please, SoR.
(edited by Tajz.9826)
This thread is epic! A lot of people were throwing ideas in the same direction. Anet, please stop babbing around by yourself and start listening to your community!
Many great comments/suggestions were here! Please take time and read!
Can you guys just avoid flamming each other about exploit and such which derail the thread to avoid getting lock again? Exploit can be dealt via ingame mail/PM, shouldnt be talk here at the first place.
Score update:
SoR 39000 +220
TC 38000 +250
BG 36000 +225
Guys keep posting more feedback/complaint here. Anet need to acknowledge this before it’s getting to page2! Keep em coming!
Guru forum is now dying down as well. Not a lot of ppl been posting in Stormmist lately it’s another indication that WvW population is dying down. Anet, u gotta fix us fast! Bored PvE, WvW sux, No end game will create a mass exodus of players from GW2 for sure as it’s already been happened now. No ppl playing, your system that rely on players number to make the event happeen will not be operate meaning even you sell more games, it doesnt last very long! U gotta keep players play too Anet!
Their hint for the Feb patch is that it will address player progression. When asked about actual new content like maps, they say they need to prioritize and that it takes time to make those. It seems they can’t even find the time to make a website for live updates. What exactly are they working on then that’s supposed to be a big deal in Feb?
I will now make a predication.
The “big WvW patch” in February will do the following:
- Ascended Items are now available from vendors in your home Borderlands! Each piece requires 2000 badges of honour.
If they wanna do just that i think they can just do it today -=-’’. One NPC with a simple coding to link their existing item take them less than an hour to make…
Seriously it’s last hope for our WvWer on Feb. If it fails to deliver something exciting i think they will lose a lot of their player base to some other games. They need to realise that WvW is at least 1/3 of their end game apart from PvE/SPvP… Come on Anet, give us more reward more incentive to play in WvW. Your redundant on the map is sad enough but playing without reward (even worse like gold sink) is just seriously worst…
It was fun recovered our BG borderland from SoR (A warp in our borderland?! kitten u!), then made a wipeout reset on the entire SoR borderland :P
However, we just realised that TC got some stuff to show with huge red text been around by TC. Thus we’ll visit you tomorrow! C U Oceanic TC
i was certainly hoping for a bit more for the big feb update that was brought up previously. perhaps we WILL see some more?
‘tis sad when you hear why people don’t play WvW is because of the rewards. too often people are rushing around, and just want rewards to justify their time spent, or money spent (i never will understand the “well, it was worth my $60” argument – no saying money is nothing, but are games and fun now solely determined by monetary value?), or effort spent. WvW i find is QUITE fun. perhaps i haven’t spent enough time in it to see all these problems, but i have noticed the population is dying down. i fear that increased rewards alone won’t fix the problem. the root is elsewhere. depending on how rewards are introduced, people will just play for the rewards, and we don’t want PvE “exploits” to come into WvW or speed farming WvW just for the rewards. people might just get rewards, and leave. leavin WvW in an even worse state – longer queue times for those who are genuinely interested in WvW and want to make a difference, people literally going in just for rewards and not giving a care about strategy, capping points, or even bother learning how to play WvW, etc etc to name a few.
just thinking out loud now.
Reward come with queue time that’s for sure. I knew we dont want WvW to become another farming spot for gold where people just dont care anything but cap point farming. However Population dying isnt help either, we need reward to bring more people in. I dont wanna count on those new maps or new major overhaul because i knew it take efford/time to do it with Anet doesnt have at the moment. More reward is the only way that they can make it that easy within a week or two and that will boost our population in WvW up significantly.
Queue time isnt problem. If tier1 all full of queues, people move to tier2. EBG full, people go to other borderlands. and so on.
Outta interest how much of the population do people actually think play wvw, excluding people doing monthlys and map completion I would prolley put it at about 10% of the population at most. While the wait is frustrateing I can sorta understand them working on other parts of the game.
While this is true, but some is wrong. In my guild that has at least 100 players actively, says 60. Almost all of them is maxed level. 45 of them is doing Dungeon, 10 of them WvW, 5 of them SPvP. And when i asked those 45 players why dont they WvW, They said because well it’s fun but THERE IS NO REWARD, thus no point to play, WvW is waste of time, i better go dungeon for more gold.
It doesnt mean WvW isnt important because not so many players play it at a time. If there is a proper reward in WvW, WvW will be one of your endgame for GW2 for sure.
Well if this interview really reflect what’s in Dev’s plan for Feb, then we’re screwed.
They really need to get their focus on WvW or else we’re going to lose big chunk of players from this game. February is too late but at least there is a milestone for people to wait for something new. Anet need to start listen to the community more. Even the breakout event siege placement are just pure lol
What Anet need to focus on (Dont wait for February, earlier the better)
***Better reward and Rank progression in WvW (Comparable rate to PvE/SPvP/Dungeon please, We need reward,gold,fame,rank,and profit. WvW is NOT a gold sink! It is a end game!)
**New better maps for WvW (Nobody like copy/paste for borderlands…)
*How to deal with Culling issue (Come on, we want to see enemy before getting kill do we?)
*UI for commanders like raid squad/supply info show etc (How do u expect me and all the people to stand close to each other and have me to type /supplyinfo everytime i wanna check supply??? UI is needed!)
Lol. What’s up with all these SoR vs BG in IoJ’s thread?
Well TC, i watched your favourite 40 golems +Omegas rushed vs one oil pot. Please msg me in game if you guys really up to that again so i can FRAP at my perspective XD. Oceanic time plz! (I’m Joking :P)
Anyway thanks for the tip guys, we’ll await for the fun you will bring to the tier,TC. PS: we aint that strong as we used to but im sure we still pack up quite a punch for your oceanic guilds to get full stroke hit when we’re there XD.
(edited by Tajz.9826)
Good luck IoJ. It’s been fun fighting with your favourite ND’s portal bombs. Great opponent, very epic battle happened because you all fought damn well. IoJ deserved a fairwell praise.
(IoJ’s presence always overwhelming us with ND on Oceanic time, which we always got flipped the entire BLs by ND. Up until fourth/fifth week where it seems a decline from ND and which we got our oceannic reinforcement arrived)
TC will up for a challenge here in tier2. If they dont meet the standard within a week or two, im sure we will meet again real soon IoJ. Until then, so long!
Hey CD,FA folks, any tip on how to handle Tarnish Coast in general? What is their strong point NA/EU/Oceanic? And which guilds should we pay attention to?
Appreciate your help
You need to pull that 40 golems plus omegas on us on the very first day and Frap it. Surely it will help you win the matchup :P
Anyway joking, BG has a strong EU but lack in NA/Oceanic. However, we just got some reinforcement on our weakness. Looking forward to meet TC again and hope everyone enjoy the fresh match
score please if anyone can
SoR and IoJ have their strong and weak timezone, as same as we BG do. You guys also recruit as same as we do. We try our best to PR our server as same as yours. The fact that those people you called bandwagoner chose us because they see our potential, they see their new home. We dont call them bandwagoner just like some troll here trying to say, instead we accept them with open arms, welcoming all crew to furfil our goal.
At this rate, coverage and determination is the key factor to win the weekly matchup. You just cant slack, if you’re absent, there gotta be someone working for you. We do have some slack moment but most of our core WvW guilds pride in the server and very determined to win thus they work their kitten off overtime to cover when we’re lacking behind.
Although we seems to be competent enough to tackle with tier2 but we still need to cover many weak spots though before we’re ready to fight in tier1 again. Im look forward for TC (if they’re make it here) upcoming so that we have new face in the competition to live thing up.
TC u better dont drop your guard. IoJ always start a mass server wide push on wednesday/thursday. The rating gap might get smaller. What i recommend you guys do is that TC guilds to start a mass server wide push taking as many overnight shifts, overtime extends, to guarantee as many points as you can during this mid week.
Too soon to say who’s in tier2 next week. Keep on fighting TC!
score update please? damn being vacation abroad kills me and i will unable to play GW2 for this entire match T-T
All i knew is that the new culling works better than the old one. The old one i got more invisible enemies than the new one. The new one work just fine. We would like the see enemy first more than our allies… Use this logic and fix it! PLEASE BRING THE NEW CULLING BACK!
How long was the Garrison fight on SoR BL again?
What was it…30or so vs 90 if not more in total?…Was fun none the less.
Garrison fight in SoR BL was epic. SoR got ways too many sieges but IoJ breached in at the same time as us. Prop to SoR to hold that strong against both server. And prop to our lucky win captured the lord before IoJ :P (Sadly your perfect mesmer portal at the top made us a capture win hehe)
[Thai]Nirvii here:
Just combined all my guild awesome WvW footage into one vid for our PR.
See if u guys like it : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzIKdfx1PN4Great fights, was fun to watch. Awesome job on managing that tiny health pool, you have excellent judgement on your timing for when to remove conditions and heal up.
Yea so when you see a BG ele with miniskirt, dont backstab me -=- Anyway gl, and see you on the battlefield! Hope i can rally more [Thai] force into the field, this week they’ve been slacking in attendance so far

IoJ and SoR got a lot early Oceanic time 19-22pm GMT+7 but drop significantly afterward. We used to have to go hold position during those time, and rally a bigger force to take the entire EB after 22pm GMT+7 everyday. Now it’s become overlook capture daily event :P
Not like IoJ aint put up a fight in overlook, but it’s not enough to withstand our treb from SM
Good fun everyday. To be honest it’s much harder than assault Valley of SoR. In fact,we dont even have much ppl, it’s just our guild leading the charge like10-15man with some other smaller guilds joining the zerg.
Sad thing is that we have quite a strong EU, so after BG oceanic retake the whole EB, EU BG has easy time with all those keep to fend off IoJ/SoR who has no ground.
Apart from ur listed servers, i would suggest Blackgate. Blackgate now is in dire needs of NA presence. We have awesome EU support as well as some Oceanic to cover. We also have dedicated mumble/TS/vent as well as regular WvW meeting per region. Additional NA WvW guilds will always be welcome here. Also Blackgate is almost tier1 standard, so with your help we hope we can get back to tier1 again. Staying with us almost guarantee you that we will not be falling down to tier3 as we still maintain our coverage in tier2 for more than weeks now with success. Tier2 has quite awesome WvW scenes compare to T3 or T4 that’s for sure. And it wont stress you out like tier1 standard. So yea we’re one of the solid choice to pick as NA guilds.
Give them more time, this is one time only paid game not a monthly. They will have less resource than those big MMORPG. Beside, they’re going to invent something that give them cash for their upkeep anyway so look forward for more shiny stuff!
However to treat WvW like a small part is wrong approach. Im sure WvW population aint that small. Not everybody PvE or sPvP you know?
This game we pve to 80, look in google for awesome model shirts, get some badge grinds for it, and done, rinse repeat if u want more awesome look but if u dont, i think they will stop PvE and start look for the next end game which is WvW and sPvP. If u dont have private team for sPvP then WvW is the end game goal. Dont treat it lightly! Fix it! Improve it!
To those Blackgate [Thai] guild that just took Hills keep in SoR Borderlands, kitten GOOD FIGHT. Our reinforced gate was at 99.999% completed and the yak bringing the final supply was just coming up the stairs, epic fight.
That yak was still determined to deliver the supplies no matter what the consequences!
Scores @ 5:15PM GMT
Yea the hill fight that day was kinda epic. We had troubles penetrate your first wall with all the siege u pour down =-=’’ and u guys had a pretty solid balista front of the lord room but we had made a video about it here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZVgpalcuWM
But my latest vid is IoJ’s overlook
Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhQi6L1684s

-Friendly and nice WvW council that weight everyone’s opinion, we treat everyone like our friends no ranking or chain of command drama

The real issue is the mistreatment of WvW focused players with regard to badges and the available gear via badges. Servers are full but WvW borderlands are outmanned everywhere. It’s just wrong. Wrong because there are not so many incentives to play WvW and right now is kinda goldsink. They could make everyone happy if they made some simple changes:
1. WvW gear should be bad kitten looking and on par with dungeon gear in terms of creativity and graphical item budget.
2. WvW gear should be available in every possible stat combination at the same cost for each combo.
3. They should introduce Legendary WvW gear that takes a legendary amount of effort to get so that PvP focused players have something simple to work forward. This gear would break the item budget rules just like Legendary weapons do and look appropriately kitten with minimal stat differences.
4. Remove repair cost in WvW. Dont make it gold sink
5. Put more rare drops for killing ppl in WvW and drop at the same lv of the player so that u dont have to farm curseshore after WvW. (People can just focus on WvW if the reward is right)
6. Loot bags to personal bag. Come on, u dont expect people to press F in middle of zergs everytime u kill someone?!
If they did that, then WvW folks wouldn’t be pissed about new dungeon content being added. They wouldn’t feel kitten on because carebear grinding of scripted instances is more highly rewarded than coordinated stategic and tactical efforts over a longer amount of time against human opponents.
To those of us who WvW constantly we could see our opponent charging across the battlefield in legendarily kitten looking gear and say, “Wow, that guy’s done a kittenload of PvP and there’s a decent chance he’s good.”
WvW attendance is on the decline side. We need to make changes! Dont leave us here while u just focus on SPvP,PvE… WvW need improvement too!
Dear Anet,
The problem about Nightcapping is not their mechanism. The problem occurred when:-
1) There are arranged alliance which arranged all the Night time guilds (oceanic/EU) into the server. (E.g. Henge of Denravi)
2) There are quite different in populations between the 3 server.
People dont have much fun start from scratch when they wake up and found out that all their hardearned fight keeps were gone because it’s a night of their time. I knew it is not your idea to limit the time of WvWvW judging from what you written but at least sort this out in some way.
What you can do
-Region locked : Guild will be prompt to lock their region and will unable to move from the region. This way EU/Oceanic guilds will have to think twice if they will want to stay in US serv. This will truely make it region based and will also help fixing all ppl latency to match the nearest server, solved all the night capping thing. (Please allow guilds to retain their upgrades while moving also)
-Time locked WvWvW: You aint suppose to be that strong when it’s suppose to be your night time. (But i think you are against this anyway)
-Fix the scoring, Night time suppose to have less score than Prime time. I’m sure it aint suppose to be equal. You surely cant guarantee there will be 24/7 coverage. Somehow, there must be “night time” and “prime time” slot. Scoring has to reflex that.
-Fix (BUFF) outmanned buff: Somehow u gotta find some buff that make 1 man equal to 5 man. In the event of a night cap, the population difference can up 5 times. With the given and current outmanned buff, it’s just make no difference. However if u fix it up to the point where u just need 1 man to kill 5 man, then that’s too much, u gotta give credit for the server that has high population also.
3, We need DMG BUFF SERIOUSLY
The other classes did 6-7k crit dmg while the highest i seen myself doing is only 3k. That’ HALVE the value! Too much!. I knew we’re AoE heavy but halve the difference of dmg is mere too much.
My recommendation for fix
-Buff damage on fire tree a bit (deem fire tree as AoE heavy attunment)
-Buff damage on ice/wind/earth a lot (because it’s so weak that i have to skip them all entirely just to stay fire for most dmg)
-Buff the HP a bit as we’re too squishy and a lot of on trigger hp wont even trigger because we just went from 80 to 0% in one-two shot…
