So you tried 8v8 hotjoin, and called it a day?

its my first time i tried, i clicked on the guy standing with X on his head and joined.

what did u expectme to do, read thru 1000 pages of documents before going in

so BG pulled back 14k lead from SOR, should we start crying pvd?

u guys cried for 1k lead on tuesday!

after playing wvw for over 1200 hrs, i finally decided to do get into pvp to improve my skills. but i am immediately disappointed and planning to stop already.
here are few reasons and need some suggestions
1. people always say how wvw is a big zerg, i am getting the same feeling in pvp, 8vs8 , there hardly and opportunity to fight even, its always 1vs2 or 2vs3 and likes
2. condi rules, it seems that only condition dmg rules, i get 10 conditions within seconds and am dead before i could even blink
3. imbalanced matches, more often than not my team has about 4 people less than lvl 10 and the opposite team has at least 4 with rank 25+, we get killed even before the match is begun.
4. always out manned, cos of the above reason, we are mostly 1 person less cos someone left midway
5. constantly fighting/matched the same people over and over again. the only way to avoid it seems to wait for few an hour or so and play again.
maybe i am doing something or judging too fast, but i find pvp to be just as imbalanced as wvw, however atleast wvw is fun for me so far.

and the most annoying thing is that guy constantly talking about updates, is there anyway to shut him up?

From what i see is the only way BG/JQ can keep up with SOR is to double team the kitten out and still lose.

must suck not being SOR

SoR’s official double team poster. If they are getting 2v1 this guy will give you an up to the minute response of it.

i post with proof ofcourse.

How many SoR does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

2, 1 to screw the lightbulb in and 1 to fend off the BG zerg.

best answer so far..

Wow amzaing, this alone can compete with the new spvp and and new pve zone

The Outmanned buff has been renamed to Outnumbered.

double team is in full swing again

T1 superstacking occurs because there is a T1 in the first place. To a large degree, it’s a chicken and the egg thing.

It’s certainly a theory. Let me ask you this: why does your guild not transfer off? What is so great about being a top 3 server that keeps you around? If it’s the 24/7 huge fights, server balance is not going to correct that because, brace yourself, then no matchups are going to have 24/7 huge fights.

I’ve been on BG since day 1. In that, I’ve been in brackets 1-4.

I’ve also been on the player group end that tried to balance out the servers. Your real issue is Oceanic numbers that hold true for what you are talking about above. There simply isn’t enough of a player base to cover every server even in current NA alone.

However, most servers could maintain around 10 – 12 hours of coverage by simply merging EU and NA.

Coverage past that is cake. There would be servers that had it and they would gravitate towards the top. However, more servers would have had more consistent coverage in the long run.

Also, in truth, EU side has been far more plagued with this issue that NA side. It’s dictated the make up of their T1 since launch.

/salute

there is a difference in EU and NA gameplay and i dont think EU/NA will be happy with the merging.

NA seem to obsess so much over ppt and score that they don’t seem to “see” beyond it. even GVG’s are looked down upon by many people here. look at this thread itself for example. a “fair” match for NA is score being even thru the week!

in EU a “fair” match is not fighting Vizunah(infact no server wants to fight them), but fighting servers like Piken square, Baruch bay, SFR, simply cos these servers have amazing guilds who run by themselves and always looking for fights with little to no regard to score. most of them dont even look at the score or to “Win” the week.

if both sides are merged, it will again end up with a huge zergfest for the top 6 servers instead of current 3 servers.

I really don’t wanna play BG again, the amount of whining by them is too unbearable

but then, any match without them will be over in 2 days.

decisions….decisions

However, having said that, there have been zergs I’ve seen in one matchup on EU that were the biggest I’ve seen in my life — easily 120 players in one big angry red blob, lol. Never saw that many at in one spot at once in NA, even with SoR and BG.

Ya that is a load of bull, even H.O.D., a lower tier sever from N.A., had 100+ man zergs running around during the lsst free transfer weekend. So I have no idea how you “never” saw one from SoR or BG.

I wasn’t being facetious. I played 14-16 hour days in WvW in NA since November, seven days a week. Have been matched up against SoR/BG/DB … and while they did have sizeable zergs, I had never before seen zergs that large as I did when I first went over to EU and faced Jade Sea. A wall of bodies. It was unbelievable. I have no reason to make this up, lol.

Maybe the lower tiers got a massive influx of players with free transfers … and that’s the norm, day after day, on low tier servers, but in the higher tiers, I had not witnessed comparable numbers all in one spot attacking one objective. And I haven’t really played the lower tiers, so I can only go with what I have faced.

But that was just against Jade Sea. Other servers have more representative sized zergs .. like 80 or so players … it could have been an anomoly with Jade Sea. Haven’t faced Viz yet tho

i think ur a NA timezone player?

i have played Vizunah for 7 months straight in EU and they are by far the biggest blob in EU.

If u played on NA, i really think u’ve never seen some guilds such as ATM/MERC play their primetime.

i have never been in a fight with these guys without massive skill lag, i mean never. thats how many people they play with!
with Vizunah, atleast u get to press skill 2 ocassionally, not so much here

Truebanana.5936:

The Emperor Glory.3927:

The EU way of playing with separate guild groups and separate Teamspeak servers works for the servers. The US way of playing with all on one TS all on one leader all in one blob generates lag.

EU makes fights, lose get better work harder.
US makes blobs – lose bring more lose bring even more until the whole map is with you.

Seem like NA servers are like Vizunah and i like to contest their keep to block the warp.
If my guild ever stop to play at gw2, i would transfer to a NA and roam alone, to block the zerg by myself whenever i’m online xD

NA servers are exactly like VS only not as " competent". cos they depend heavily on time zones, each server has its" strong" timezone and the rest timezones support this main timezone by keep other servers busy or resetting their towers, dont use strategy much, NA seems to think the only way to do anything is MOAR PEOPLE,

they dont have the determination of VS, they give up by Wednesday if things are not going their way and just whine and whine and whine on forums to no end( just look at tier 1 NA thread ).

its too stressful after sometime. however NA servers have far more coverage than VS does and mostly likely will beat VS quite easily since there are so many pl here at all timezones.

clearly bg doesnt have eu coverage and ticking the highest.

I like when people call BG stacked and the aforementioned “powerhouse” we are but I think people love to make statements without looking up past match ups, yes BG won by 21k this week, because we put in the effort, I went to bed late most nights to ensure this (cause I was sick and off work for a few days).

But if you look at the scores of the last 7 weeks, since SoR received IRON:

Week 19 – 57k win,
Week 20 – 56k win,
Week 21 – 35k win,
Week 22 – 50k win,
Week 24 – 19k win,

Week 25 – 21k loss – BG STACKED

I have a feeling its only going to get worse now with the even bigger EU coverage of SoR, enjoy the PvDoor.

dont u PVDoor in SEA???

just saying…..

SEA is actually quite competitive, with the ppt lead swinging between all three servers.

we were ticking 100 ppt the majority of the time during SEA.

so much QQ already with in the first 2 hours, the forums were very civil last week cos SOR was third.

figures.

eitherway, we have heard BG is getting 2 EU and 2 more SEA guilds, so why all the whining?

We’ve never double teamed. if it seems like it, it’s because 2 servers have been attacking the weakest target, but not agreeing to teaming up or avoiding to fight each other. now, however, bg and jq zergs stand on each side of a tower/keep. one server keeping reinforcements off and the other one attacking said tower/keep. Then when the two zone blobs run in to eachother, they don’t attack eachother but actually stop and back paddle away from eachother. It’s pretty kitten obvious. We can see it, you know we can see it and you still deny it. it’s rich. but then you need to do it obviously since we destroy you so easily in fair fights. Thought fair fights seem hard to get anymore since the only time you ever come out to fight us is when you have at LEAST twice our numbers. We usually wipe you anyways.
Just a few minutes ago we wiped in hero’s on bg bl. we were 8 people and you had at least 40. we said “f it” and charged anyways. we almost wiped you, but the constant rallying did us in. it’s actually quite funny how little it takes before most of you are turned into dorritos

Thanks to RG though, they’re always hard and fun to fight and rarely back down from fighting no matter the odds. Now when they’re moving, we’ll prolly mostly be fighting arrows raining down from behind walls.

LOL. I was there last night with BG EU team pain train on EBG. Well, i can say we’re not really 2v1 you, we were just trolling you :P In fact, we were even doing the mini jumping puzzle in front of your main keep, even did the endurance test by stacking onto one small pillar to eat your cannons lol fun stuff! IRON’s zerg loot bags always give better chance of rares than JQs.

thats gw2 for you, u kill good players u get good loot,
u kill junk , u get junk.,

like what we get spikes and 2 wxp everytime we kill you

getting ready for our raid

SUPERIOR SIEGE bug already, its multiplying!!

World vs. World
Mortar Mastery has been added to the Ranks and Abilities tab.
Increases blast radius on all skills.
Increases fire field duration.
Reduces recharge on all mortar skills.
Increases damage on all mortar skills.
New Skill: Mortar Barrage
Launches a barrage of rounds that pushes back foes where they land.
AoE Looting
Players can now loot all creatures and loot chests dropped by creatures in a small radius with a single interact.
This feature can be used by either:
Selecting a new “AoE Loot On Interact” option, which will use the same key binding as the “Interact” key but will only trigger the AoE Loot functionality while none of the forms of the interact dialog are visible.
Creating a new key binding named “AoE Loot” under the “Miscellaneous” section of the key bindings tab on the options panel.
Important notes:
The radius of AoE Looting is equal to that of a skill with a 900-unit range.
The AoE Looting functionality can only be triggered once per second.
Once the player’s inventory has filled up or the player becomes encumbered, AoE Looting cannot be triggered again until space has been cleared in the inventory. If the player’s inventory fills up while processing an AoE Loot request, it will finish processing all items so that any stackable items will still be looted.

clearly theres no duble teaming going on at all :P

Was sure you folks were demanding a 2 vs 1 against you in the previous few weeks. Saw plenty of posts from one of your main guilds begging for it. Oh well.

EB is it’s own little world.
We do try to keep the new folks oriented but man, is there a bunch lately. Gotta love a nice tight score spread eh?

am not compaliining atall,

merely pointing it out,, i don’t mind 2vs1 atall, it only reinforces teh fact that we are better whether we win or not

clearly theres no duble teaming going on at all :P

The whole point of a 3 way match is the weaker sides join and take on the bigger foe if the need arises. Else there would be only 2 sides.

Since when did RG start blobbing?

NA effect i see..

but very good fights though

They actually prefer to run with just their own group with no tag, but it’s hard to stop people from wanting to smell their hair in hopes of becoming a PvP god.

yea we had few on us too, but really good fights, enjoyed them a lot.

I find it interesting that Blackgate needs to be double teamed to be beaten.
Even double teaming blackgate it took you an hour to take our keep…rofl

The last time we met. Jq/bg double teamed sor garsion and took 2.5 hrs to take.. rofl

Whats ur point?

I have played extensively in both NA and EU. Most of the replies here are right.

NA plays mostly for PPT and rarely for fights.. there are few chances where u get good fights. For example last week match between Sor/TC/SOS. Sor had won the match by the time the weekend was over. So TC being good sports also played only for fights instead oftaking a week off. In Eu, there are always fights and ppt.has little relevance.

Na has a lot of players 24/7 . When we were on desolation. There were many times when I was practically the only person on the map. But Na always has ppl around.

I think NA blobs more. But then I usually face ATM/Merc who are known to run with the whole map when they are online. EU only has VS that blobs to such exent.

The voicecoms are a lot more active in NA . I dunno only if sor is like that or most of.Na
Militia are better in Na. I still get surprised when the commander says – ignore this sentry, then nobody hits it. In eu pugs tend to do what they want.

A lot of forum warriors and drama queens on NA. Most take it too personally and guilds often accuse and insult.other guilds. Very few people tend to respect others.
In EU, guilds respect each other a lot and are often good friend of each other.
A lot less drama in eu and forum warriors very few.

i still doubt this lady,
if there were so big and had that much of an impact we would know, since we were in tier 1 EU for 8 months,

regardlress, go to TC/FA/DB..

dont go to SOR/JQ/BG

Jovel.5706:

JaredKincade.9761:

When BG is behind: OMG BG TEARS LOL
When BG is ahead: OMG you eat whole servers that’s why you win!

Pretty much this. I liked last week’s matchup though, that was one of the few where we catch JQ with their pants down and no server to latch their maws onto for a 2v1 week. Just look at the current score, SoR is the real monster here and the reason why JQ is ahead. Catch them alone with a server they haven’t met yet and they’re pretty much meat.

I want more of those just BG vs JQ. Or better yet just a World vs World match with the two of us and that’s it, no third server. No more bragging rights while holding onto Daddy SoR’s hands.

how is SOR the real monster when we are 3rd, poor SOR

i honestly think they should go to TC or a 4th server outisde the tier 1, they are stacked as is.

please either go to TC/FA/DB to make it more competetive rather than going to SOR/BG/JQ.

going by her post history, it sounds like a troll post however.

Kathy K.6812:

FearedbytheGods.8617:

To me it ties in with typical BG performance. Push hard to win one week then implode the next week. Wash and repeat.

I believe the score between Blackgate and Sanctum is 16-7… Sanctum still has a ways to go before they can do any talking.

Dat logic!!!

going by that, doesn’t JQ have like 40 wins over BG, ??

why is all BG in this thread anyway??

don’t they have their own thread. missing us already?

Am saving for the treb mastery that will come in the next patch.
Then I can treb from Garrison to stonemist in EB.

salluks.6017:

However, in terms of tactics and strategy, and i don’t mean at fighting! no NA server is even close to them.

I disagree.

its my OPINION, do u know what it means?

VS cannot fight SOR, sor is too stacked for them, but then VS is 1 timezone server.

they might be as good as JQ currently, but not on par with SOR/BG in terms of coverage

However, in terms of tactics and strategy, and i don’t mean at fighting! no NA server is even close to them.

Atrophied.8725:

So, SoR guilds, I’m curious. I know we’re not really a threat PPT-wise, but how are we on the open-field? I hope we’re providing you with some good fights.
(Also, please stop dropping ACs and Ballistas when you have more people than us, it’s just bad form)

ive constantly run against the guilds the same size as urs like MERC and ATM.
i can tell u one thing, u guys come out and fight, tough it would be ncie if u could run with a little less nos for a while so we dont get huge lagfest.

but its been nice.

fishball.7204:

Heh thanks for the praise, we know we don’t have the population for this match but we’ll try and hold our own regardless.

On the bright side we have more total points than DB in T1 :P

SOR doesnt really bother with points, even if we do have the manpower to take all 695 points, we dont really bother and we prefer good fights over senseless capping.

my guild didn’t even do a single raid this week other than the bay-gari fight yesterday.
most of the sor doesn’t re
if we are ticking even 400+ theres no sense in going for PPT.
its sad that some servers focus too much on ppt that they lose out on good fights.

i am GLAD we are fighting TC/SOS who are much more brave and come out and fight rather then the so called “Tier 1 servers” who cap everything during SEA time and just run inside their towers the moment they see 10 enemies.

really good standoff on sor bl, between bay and gari, sad that u guys wanna only fight under ur acs

we are still waiitng at the sentry if u feel like fighting outside ur ac coverage.

just out of curiosity, how is TC euro?
and i know sos has really good sea, do they play late.

would be nice to see if some guilds run at this time us.

Well ur red this time.

MagiKarp.8201:

Ha! Sanctum of Rall is in Tier 2 where it belongs :P

there are no tiers anymore, hope u know that. mos hasnt managed to change it yet.

Points don’t matter anymore, we got the short end of the stick twice already despite winning convincingly, just go with the flow and don’t make it really bad for SOS just for the sake of points.
i would also like TC and SOS teamup against SOR if it helps for a better match up.

but this is a good opportunity for GVG’s if anybody is interested.

i just hope SOR forums warriors leave the trolling to BG/JQ and not do it in this thread.

Oh dear……S.O.S !

going by EU tier 1 reset, both the servers other than Vizunah dropped out of tier 1 , one went to tier 3!

Maybe we may not fight each other again after all.

It’s amusing how BG is doing blackouts to get even more guilds.

I mean they are the first server to cry when they lose, first server to gloat when they win, but the last server to try and help balance a tier.

I think it’s pretty safe to say, that you do not need more guilds, just organization. Try doing the right thing and sending your potential recruits to the server that does need them(JQ). At least, SoR refuses transfers and sends them both our way, BG on the other hand cares only about winning it seems and over-stacking their server.

Jeez really starting to sound like a SoR player there lol

Isn’t JQ getting RG again? If that’s the case it will make a significant difference to JQ’s coverage (and as a result, their competitiveness in the overall scoring).

No. he is probably starting to realize what SOR players knew for a long time, and why SOR generally has no respect for BG….

SoR didn’t think of balancing the tier when they accepted IRON and began getting blowout wins.

What’s wrong with BG accepting new guilds to become more competitive?
What evidence is there to suggest that JQ needs transfers more than BG?

Also sorry if 1 or 2 people gloated and hurt everyone on SoR’s feelings

are u seriously typing that?

When IRON was looking to transfer, 4 servers including DB were scouted and , at the time BG was actually dominating and SOR was 3rd and hadn’t won a single game in tier 1, i dont recall BG saying no to IRON at the time.

maybe try recruiting wvw guilds rather than PVX guilds for a change.

SOR got 1 guild and BG has got 6-8 guilds including WM,BT. if u still don’t manage to be competitive, rather than recruiting more and more guilds, maybe look at the core problem?

Israel.7056:

JQ just hit “Very High.”

BG doing blackout and JQ is very high, now this is interesting,

l

SOR fighting 2 new servers is highly unlikely..
ideal match would be SOR/BG/TC and JQ/DB/FA.

Even though i absolutely hate MERC for blobbing and lagging the whole map everytime they are on.

Kudos to you guys, i commend the effort you put in your server, u remind me a lot of IRON of desolation who practically had to carry the server all day , which means blobbing becomes necessary.

I don’t really play during NA time that much, but i play on every other timezone and you guys are always there doing your thing.
i really think without you guys BG wont even be a tier 1 server. real nice effort there.

mostly same match again, maybe DB will replace one.
