JQ is rocking the outmanned buff as often as not from what I’m seeing. Something happened in the last 2 weeks to us. We went from 4 hour queues to pretty consistent insta-queues. Also half our commanders bail for another map the moment we lose anything significant telling everyone to follow them while claiming it’s ‘strategy’.
Right now I’m half hoping you blackgate’s beat us. Maybe we’ll get knocked to T2. Worked wonders for getting our kitten together last time, maybe it will get it back together again.
Blackgate would have to cover around 38 points to beat us. It won’t happen this week.
It looks like we may just see them next week again though if they have a good push today like they did yesterday.
I haven’t had a 4 hour queue since opening day. The past 5 weeks the longest queue I’ve had was Friday nights for about 1 hour. Last Friday it was 15 minutes. Of course I don’t usually log on until around 9pm est so results may vary.
I haven’t seen the bailing you’re talking about. I don’t frequent maps with MMAC on them much so I have no idea what is going on there.
Not sure if you participate over at jadequarry.com, we’ve been talking a lot about WvW and commanders in the private WvW section.
JQ truly showed this week what type of server they are…
-Zerging and camping throughout the day, bringing 50+ ppl when 10 enemies take a supply camp
-Getting pushed back during prime-time, despite the 3 orb bonus and all structures upgraded
and now, up by 260k prior to the reset the next day, players from your server exploiting/glitching to take Sharadan Hills on the JQ Borderland.
I’m quite certain that you guys probably have some honorable guilds and players, as most in this thread have been respectable. It is a shame that those in the game are trash.
I feel really sorry about that. I am going to take it up with some people on our server. I wasn’t there when it happened, but I was in the zone. As soon as it flipped I knew exactly why, then you guys got it right back I didn’t feel as bad.
Rest assured this will be talked about. Hopefully Anet will fix it on this server flip, but you never know.
As you spend more time out there you will find easier ways to cross the map in less time. Like which cliffs you can leap from and not die, etc. That’s always good information.
We got our whole borderlands into a group yesterday (4 people) and took one camp. then 50 ppl showed up from JQ so i went back to farming in Orr and then logged out.
I can’t wait to get in and do some more!
seriously though, every match up is soo messed up this week…
Oh hey! I think I was there with you.
Anyways, HoD here. I’ve actually been having more fun now that we’re fighting an uphill battle. The trick to not being demoralized is to make an alt, preferably a thief or mesmer (facerolling classes). If you die, LOL WHO CARES, REPAIR IS 44c.
It’s actually quite fun having to resort to the most obscure tactics available in the game. The remaining players on WvW are the most dedicated ones, not the farmers or karmawagoners, so it’s easy to get a cooperative 5 man group. (btw, max # of players at peak times for us on a map is like 20) With this 5 man group, we managed to cap a couple towers. But even with all of us on superior siege, we still can’t defend against the kitten 50 man JQ zerg auto attacking the gate.
In other news, I saw how SBI took over half the map yesterday, then JQ came on a couple hours later and zerged it all back.
Autoattacking?! Are you kidding me? I use F1:2,4; F2:2,3(self),4,5;F3:5, and F4:2,4…. Come on now!
SBI did well during the evening hours. We took the potential point lead and had two orbs. But, we have to go to sleep and that is when JQ takes everything back.
That’s the stuff we like! Had some great fights, and I got personally splatted by you guys a few times. I tend to run around a lot on my own as I have a bit of a problem staying in one place long.
Could anyone post a picture of the JQ Borderlands map?
We kicked a lot of kitten there last night (and props to HoD for a very well executed siege on Cliffside around midnight eastern), and I am curious to see how things have panned out in the last 12 hours.
From then on until 1 AM EST, JQ got Cliffside back, grabbed Hills, and filled it with about 200 badges worth of siege, since SBI seemed to stop queuing up. At this point, our commanders left, and the zerglings started to roll in. They pushed out from Cliffside and started mindlessly beating on Garrison for some reason. SBI finally got some people in, and collectively rolled through Hills with ease. I left after that.
Here’s what it looks like now (11:30 EST)
With the very small force that we had at Longview, us being the ones that was simply trying to eat away at the walls of Garrison, there should have been plenty left to defend Hills. I know that some people were in Garrison and making solid ground and really kicking in the inner door with minimal defense. That being said they should have left and went to Hills. However our little force of our guild plus three stragglers at Longview should and did stay. Hell, we did it for giggles as an end of the night take for most of the guild.
After you left, Storm took Crag’s, Henge took Longview. Daboss came on and rallied everyone we ran around took supply then took Garrison. I logged, and I heard they took back Hills as well.
People still don’t get it. Lets see do I attack a keep that is fully upgraded, has defensive seige and people defending it or do I attack the keep that no one bothered to upgrade, put defensive siege in or upgrade? If you want to keep your stuff defend it. The zerg from point to point capping and not defending days are gone now that it is a weeklong match.
I know last night on SBI borderlands threw themselves at Ascension bay relentlessly rather than pushing east. You were going up against a keep that was fully upgraded, had defensive trebs, mortars, cannons, arrow carts, balistae you name it. you didn’t even bother to try to set up siege when you did cap the supply camp and instead just tried to throw shere numbers at it.
The only reason you took AB last night was because HOD was seiging garrison and we went to defend it instead of staying at AB. You would have never taken AB if we didn’t get hit by HOD at garrison and I can garuntee you that.
I can’t speak for other maps since I only play on SBI borderlands but this is the mentality I have seen from JQQ all week. Ignore HOD completely and push SBI till we are pushed out. The reason we fortified the hell out of AB last night was because franky I am tired of giving you guys any room to brethe whatsoever and you just focusing us. Learn to tak oportunities you are given. Figure out when your not going to take something and either improve your tactics or assault a softer target.
Every night it was the same story on SBI borderlands we would get pushed to garrison by both sides right when we had people start logging for the night. Did JQQ take anything from HOD? newp they blined it for us every time with a vengeance.
Ah well mad props to HOD and less QQ from JQQ
We were constantly attacked by HoD at RedBriar. The few pushed we made to Greenlake were pushed instantaneously back with their siege. The constant battle and building and takes from the supply camp left us with very little supply to make anything. We did make siege at the camps SB would come and destroy it (you must’ve missed that). We were left with pushing bodies at it. We saw that HoD had the NE supply and wanted to just remove supply from the keep in hope that the possibility was there. Obviously they did this to their advantage (good job HoD) so that they could form Voltron on Garrison.
HoD seems to be brilliantly playing you to where they want you to go. Which is the reason for people’s beliefs (here on JQQ) that you are united.
