Guild Wars 2

Caffynated.5713:

If you want a PvP achievement, you’re going to have to earn it or get lucky. I and thousands of others have run EBJP hundreds of times and never once complained about campers or PvP. You’re not special.

What part of the limited-time Sky Pirates achievement makes it a PvP achievement? Is it the part where it is not found on any PvP tab? Or the part where the condition for getting it does not require any PvP wins or kills?

Don’t be a kitten, full stop.

Believe me, there are WvWers who don’t want to fight while doing the JP. They mind their own business and don’t bother those who aren’t looking for a fight.

But I guess there are always people with the maturity level of teenagers.

Offski.4897:

Do you BG guys ever complain about your dominance in oceanic and Sea times…..nah did not think so. You are dominant in certain times, we have coverage in others.

Also the times last week when i saw bg and jq zergs standing next to one another not fighting was laughable, especially in EB. Seeing two sides either side of the bridge outside Langor with no intention of fighting each other last week was a bit embarrassingly low from you lot.

Basically if you are going to make agreements throughout a week to focus SoR then ofcourse we will need a way to combat this. Jq seem happy to be bg’s lil kitten, so be it.

Haha, so 2v1 is a good reason for recruiting for your strong time zone now?

2v1 against BG is fine and part of the game, but 2v1 against SoR means you need moar guilds? Seeing this from the leader of a very prominent guild, please forgive us if no one believes SoR is interested in a balanced match up.

I believe in showing respect to people. There is a new limited-time achievement in the EB JP, which would attract non-PvPers to the JP. If they clearly have no intention to fight, why be an kitten about it? It’s showing people as much respect as when you interrupt a duel or a GvG. Those things are widely frowned upon even among the WvW community, and this should be too.

Thanks to people from Blackgate’s [DTG] and [WM] for ganging up on and killing non-hostile people, especially from relative safety above the arena, in the middle of the JP. These guilds have shown that they have no class. At least killing people at the start prevents them from wasting time trying.

[WM] from Blackgate is doing it now. I thought it was a respectable guild.

Just wanted to say that [DTG] from Blackgate has been griefing in the JP, killing players who have no intention to fight repeatedly.

This is happening at the arena after the dark room.

Lily.1935:

This skill was one of my favorite skills. its a real shame that it was nurfed like this. I don’t know about everyone else. But it was the perfect stunbreak for me to bring. I can’t replace it with anything because I dedicated much of my build to elixir gun, flamethrower and elixirs. So having this nurf throws a pretty hard wrench into my engineer’s build of which I might have to abandon the build all together because of this one change.

Healing mist now breaks stun, which is not reflected in patch notes.

Thieves complaining about another profession’s ability to escape is just too precious.

There’s no difference between that and a pure L2P post.

It’s really not that hard to type a few sentences to summarise your point. Not saying you have to discuss builds and skill usage in depth.

KumaTazZ.8054:

Playing engi and necro when I go with zerg, I’ll stay a little bit away from the battle and find the right position to do damage or AoE on downed enemies (may be wait till someone come rez thier friend and I’ll drop AoE to kill both of them)

Just some constructive criticism…. That isn’t the best way to play a necro in a zerg if you want to win consistently.

This isn’t constructive. Being constructive would be taking steps to help the other person understand what you mean.

Ross Biddle.2367:

Rofl. How long have you been on JQ?

The question is are YOU even on JQ? It’s not super stacked now, that’s for sure.

I’m on JQ and I do see the positive things the OP describes. We do have multiple pins running in 1 map and most everyone plays their part, from WvW guilds to PuGs.

JQ’s community is great. We are the underdogs with the tenacity to stick it out, even against super stacked servers

Right, guys, this game was made in AMERICA, so it’s definitely meant for AMERICANS. Get it??

Fixeon.5076:

JQ and BG have more than enough population during NA prime time to fill all 4 BLs. It is up to you guys to find the leadership and motivation for those people.

Perhaps you can offer some suggestions on how to do that? We aren’t as smart as you.

People play what they want to play.

Zen.8497:

aelflune.8590:

Yeah, we can’t really complain, although it makes the whole SoR shtick about looking for good fights look lame as well.

SoR is looking for good fights but that can only happen if your opponents meet you halfway. Bring it on and we will have only good fights.

There’s nothing we can do if no one besides you guys play at those times, mate.

looking for good fight and gaining as much as ppt if you can is not mutually exclusive.

less QQ and more pew pew please.

When we utilize our own SEA coverage advantage against other servers and winning, we told other server to shove it and stop QQing about our coverage.

Now SoR is using their coverage advantage against other servers and you guys say it’s lame.

i feel really ashamed by some of the hypocrisy displayed by fellow Quarrians.

I’m not QQing. I said the opposite, in fact.

But it is funny when people say they’re looking for fights yet play at times when there’s no one to fight.

Honestly, I think you should consider transferring to another server since you seem very unhappy where you are.

Yeah, we can’t really complain, although it makes the whole SoR shtick about looking for good fights look lame as well.

I logged in and didn’t see a chest. Went to check the announcements section and saw this:

Fixed an issue where players who completed the Canach’s Lair instance before the release today can no longer receive rewards. All players will now be able claim the reward for completing this instance once more on any character.

So I have to do the instance again. Not to mention I simply lost out on the reward for yesterday’s explorable run.

That was a half-arsed fix.

I love this thread.

Yes, I do feel like the stuff we do are highly morally dubious. But the way I see it, we’re playing the role of silly archetypal heroes who have no clue (with the lines our toons spout, what else can we be?) and the devs are being ironic and subtly poking fun at fantasy RPG tropes. #hipstergamer

foofad.5162:

I’m one of the people that happened to be on right when the event went live too, and didn’t get anything as well. Very sad. Oh well.

Plans are already in the works to make sure people who didn’t get the rewards get it. Just hold steady

This is good news. Thanks!

So apparently the dungeon was up prematurely. Well, who knew? Saw in the mail that it was up and went for it. Completed both story and explorable. Got the achievements but no reward.

Do we have to do the instances again to get the rewards? I don’t particularly feel like doing it again, so I hope the rewards will be awarded retroactively.

I think JQ shows up as much as SOR did. That means full squads on prime time and not so many defenders during the off hours.

I’m not sure what the difference is. Sounds like just plain-old chest thumping from SOR.

hex.3218:

SoR! The new overpopulated bandwagon server of bads and try hards!

“We only care about the fights!”

Yeah, that 500 PPT and 30 arrow cart assault on JQ Garri after capping the known universe is all about the fights!

“We don’t care about winning.”

Yeah, so instead of resting folks, run 24 hour zerg-athons with no chance of losing a battle because you have 70 players dry humping each other.

I liked you guys a LOT better when you actually DID have to fight.

I hope next week you draw TC and DB and are bored stiff in 3 of 4 time slots and realize that the only thing that kept you guys fighting for so long was having to earn it. Now? Enjoy the slow, painful bleed out as folks get tired of killing gates and NPCs.

BG? Still love ya. Hope to see you soon.

This. Why anyone would want to fight in the open when the odds are so bad is beyond me. It’s a complete waste of time.

IMO, the people asking for fights are not stupid enough not to know this. They’re either just taunting and hoping they’ll get lucky or trying to make it seem like they’re not fully making use of their advantage in numbers.

scootshoot.6583:

@ Esqi, JQ Asian squad led by Waha of FOO has been bringing it all week. They knocked off almost 10k ppt between 1st and 2nd place just last night. Unfortunately for JQ once they log off things start to go down hill.

JQ started to tick well under 200 when Waha logs, then decided to see what your population looked like at 1pm CST. OUCH!

If only you guys can get at least 20-25 pct wvw participation of your FULL server during the early afternoons (which is a huge advantage) to continue the momentum of what FOO had left behind…..

After Asian prime is EU, which, as has been said many times, JQ is weak at. That’s why we need EU guilds to keep up the competition, if indeed the other servers are interested in competition.

I wonder how many times this has to be repeated.

Waage.2047:

See you took it personally as an attack on your guild and you so there most be some truth to it. Now i will not make a judgement call on SF and how great of zerg breakers you are after all i have only seen small squads of yours and i will not make a judgment on something that is below full strength.

The simple truth i said. JQ lack guilds willing to take on SoR in there borderland. If you think i am talking about you then YES i am talking about you.

Often enough RK is the only force in SoR and taking them on and we have a blast doing it. See the thing is that we in BG will attack every one. Yes we JQ BL we will target JQ over SoR in the same way you and SoR do in BG BL. That is how the border maps work.

I want JQ to hit SoR border harder so i can use them for my own benefit. Nothing more.

Wait, so JQ is supposed to be working for BG’s benefit? lol!

But I did spend some time at SoR bl yesterday towards the end of and after JQ prime. Every time a tower was hit, a big SoR zerg would come. It was practically impossible to capture even one, but there were still JQ players there trying or, when we were outmanned, flipping camps. But guess what BG guilds were doing? Instead of taking on SoR, [BRO] and [Pro] were trying to spawn camp JQ trying to 6v1 for kicks.

Maybe you should look into procuring these things called mirrors. They’re pretty neat.

Wait, why did I become the contact for DC? I’m not even in DC…

mojofreak.2740:

Please also add DC (Japanese Guild with a idol member in their roster). They usually run during Chinese Alliance Time Zone (GMT+8 20:00-00:00).

What is an idol member, may I ask? Should we start spamming somebody for autographs?

Anet’s lack of comment on this issue is really disappointing. Losing more and more faith.

pot.6805:

Wow. That was fast for jq to claim 2v1

What if it’s true, hmm? 2v1 doesn’t ever happen in WvW? Am I seeing things or did some people here just say that it makes sense when playing for points? So double teaming is simultaneously a tactical move that people use from time to time and an imagined excuse. lol!

Okay, how about this? Since there can be no reasons whatsoever for losing, let’s just say that people only lose because they suck, alright? Can’t wait to see what this thread will turn into if we all go with that premise. rofl.

Tajz.9826:

In fact, if BG really cared about being fair, they would have taken measures such as retreating when they see flame ram shrines in JQ’s keeps. However, on the contrary, I believe they were quite happy to take advantage of the situation

In fact, we destroyed your rams for you when we were able to get into the keep. Excuse whatever you want, but the real man will only said “GG&Congrat! We’ll see you again next week”

Did you leave the keep after or were you quite happy to keep it?

As long as I’m aware of someone on my side exploiting to get a keep, I go elsewhere. I’d say winning or losing isn’t as important as being able to truly win fair and square. And, sad to say, this time BG didn’t – by definition. For that I do sympathise.

Besides, even if no official action is taken, I suspect there will be kitten for-tat very soon, so your advantage wouldn’t last anyway. And we’d all be the worse for it.

Grithan Soulforge.5726:

Can we tone down the hyperbole a tad? Yes someone using game mechanics to effectively denial of service attack a server’s side map wide is lame as kitten.

But BG fought hard this week and deserves it’s win. It’s not BG’s fault or the result of one malicious party that JQ is suffering from burnout and attrition. BG won it fair and square. So congrats BG!

Quite frankly while I’ll be playing to win I wouldn’t mind seeing T2 for a round or two. Seeing the same tags over and over again gets a tad boring.

I’ve always refrained from commenting on the forums, but this is getting ridiculous. Fair and square? If somebody in BG was doing the same thing to them for the same length of time and BG still won, then we can talk about “fair and square”. As it is, we have no idea how much the siege problem was a factor (I suspect it was quite a large one).

In fact, if BG really cared about being fair, they would have taken measures such as retreating when they see flame ram shrines in JQ’s keeps. However, on the contrary, I believe they were quite happy to take advantage of the situation.

There is no “fair and square” here. Some people were talking about all being fair in war. Well, then I hope BG gets sabotaged this week, especially seeing that the siege troll is still active in JQ. And then we’ll see who’s “whining” then.
