Is BG going to get some new material in this thread or repeat the same one-liner throughout?
Were just waiting for this weeks excuse. Do you guys agree on it in a server meeting or do you just go with the first one posted?
Last week’s was most likely decided in meeting as I saw it on TS message on Sunday. Never joined the server meeting as it’s really early morning where I am when its on.
All 3 servers get double teamed its a flaw of the 3 server match up anet made.
Flaw? Not even remotely a flaw. Three sided matches are far far better than 2 sided matches. That was proven in DAOC a long time ago.
If it was 3 equal servers i would agree with you but there has never been 3 servers in the top tier that could win any given week.I just feel if it was 2 servers there would be better matchups but i know most people prefer multiple servers.
Now for something unrelated i feel like doing a score update just so i can show off the best looking mesmer in the matchup.
I actually had to look twice to see your real face… the face on right horn stood out too much :p
Heh, BG trolls and their continued QQ over SOR’s EU coverage, love it!
btw, BG’s long losing streak coincided when HB (EU coverage) went on vacation. You lost a key coverage point, no different than IRON’s impact on SOR. BG also won last week at a time when HB started becoming active again, amirite?
SoR wins 5 weeks straight against Blackgate and then loses once so they decide to recruit another massive EU guild + SONG + WE.
Great response SoR, I wouldn’t have expected the least from you.
You should probably take a short break from the game :/
Didn’t seem to effect you the last until last week. I remember logging out for the last three months knowing all our work we’d do during NA prime wouldn’t mean much. Or we’d have to log in and siege T3 everything. Difference is we didn’t stop coming out, we still came out everyday and kicked everyones kitten with their T3 towers keeps and ACs everywhere. Almost all the BG posts have been involving nothing but complaining now. That wasn’t the case when Kaineng merged into your server or when SoS did. How many more servers do you need to eat to be happy?
Actually the weeks that we won, I noticed that WvW attendance on TS was actually lower than usual. So where were SoR and JQ then?
It’s all ebb and flow.
Duh. Most were sleeping when you bagged those points :p
I’ve said before in reply to another BGer, a valid strategy to win the ppt game
You know, I dont mind losing a waypointed Bay, to a group who was zoom hacking with arrowcarts, it does NOT hurt to lose to Sor hackers. Sor has the superior numbers now, why the need for hack?
I’d like to apologise to FEAR for false accusations regarding arrow cart usage earlier in this tread.
I’ve seen how the positioning can be done legitimately now.
And congrats on your T1 win SOR.
SoR still blobbing even wtih IRON. It’s a megablob O_O
Look at your WM and MERC blobs. More than IRON, for sure. The way IRON wiped WM and MERC was just amazing.
Not sure what you’re smoking but we didn’t have anywhere near more. Red nametags are larger so to people who aren’t clued it seems like more.
Which is why SoR’s blob looks so big rite?
Anyway, to the comment that SoR is blobbing with IRON, reason is they are fun to run with. I went with them over the weekend and their commanders are fun people and lively on TS too
I don’t get it, did the addition of one EU guild really kickstart SOR that much? Of course I am very happy for my server and grateful to IRON for having the balls to transfer to the underdog server, but I’m hoping this power is sustainable past this weekend and that people aren’t burning themselves out through long hours. And if it is, lets be more classy about it than JQ/BG have been. “Winning” has always been a numbers/coverage issue rather than skill. A trash server would never have made it to T1.
NA usually plays with Asians on Sunday, so the ppt is higher than usual
Lets wait and see how it is on weekdays
To all the players on jq . Thank you for your kind welcome im sorry iron didn’t chose jq .It was a hard choice for Iron but I think we did the right thing in the end. I am on jq until Wednesday but I will not wvw . So please don’t flame me as a spy, iron do not work that way
To all the people that have sent me pm`s I only just read them and there’s far too many to reply to sorry
see you out there .
What server did IRON transfer to again? All I’ve seen is them fighting for BG, so it’s a bit confusing. Could also be too much blood in my caffeine, I don’t know.
caffeine in my blood, not the other way around. you cant even type straight anymore :P
i thought you were better than that….
score update with IRON commander in BG BL 2v1ing BG
Ok ok, maybe it’s because it’s 7am ish and I’ve been awake for a long time, you know the point when things are just funnier, or maybe this is really funny. But thought we could all glance at this quick vid for the hell of it. Was in one of the other WvW forums so thought I’d share. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_9giwoRAvY
saw this vid a while ago, very nice
that squeaky little evil voice is just awesome :p
so i was hanging out with JQ’s pve scrubs in LA, we came up the idea of creating the " server motto", sort of like the House motto in game of throne series, here is what we have so far.
Blackgate, once you go black, you never go back.
Jade Quarry, been here done that ( i think it’s very suitable)
but we are having some trouble creating one for SoR, thought?
Sanctum of Bags? :P
What was that, Bag Quarry? :p
I should edit this before it blows out of proportion and another commander stands down :P
I am standing down as Commander as of now…
Well that escalated quickly…
I doubt they’ll let you though lol

All good brother, EMP aka RE is having the same success you are having and a lot of people are hating on JQ. The only difference between you and rawbrah is you moved to a #2 T1 server and got it to #1. Rawbrah he brought a T3 server all way up to T2 and dominating T2 soon enough he will be in T1 and there will be lots of drama especially if RE owns our JQ NA guilds.
I’m pretty excited, because the only reason that I can think of why Rawbrah left JQ and brought a lot of EMP BEST commanders/ and players with him is because he got tired of living in FOO’s shadow.
All I have to say is SoR needs to goto T2 because they cant win anything anymore, they cant even place 2nd either, Dragonband needs to come to T1 because they are clearly DOMINATING T2, none of those servers even COMPARE to Dragonbrand because its a T1 fighting type server now.
We need to start this all out war FOO vs RISE vs RE, see whose guild carries the server to victory. WE need to settle this whose the best once and for all, just screw the wvw rankings, Dragonband should be moved to T1 and SoR moved to T2.
SoR has been consecutively been placing 3rd 60-70k away, while Dragonbrand is consecutively beating up servers by 60-110k. You tell me who moves up and who moves down.
lol another rawnoodles worshipper.
DB was already strong with its SEA population, it’s basically a mini JQ…and that’s rawnoodle’s reason of picking it, it makes it easier for him to claim that “i bring this server from T3 to T1”..
read his post history. he’s JQ’s frudoo :p
if you don’t know where my home server is, you are streets behind
i know you reside in JQ LA but where your real home is, i can only guess…

Lol SoR NA players are such cuties, smack talking about how good they are when they outnumber both JQ and BG in NA prime. Classic example of the dunning-kruger effect.
please read again, it was RISE guy talking about how good they are and how theyre disappointed with T1 opponents
JQ….why do you put arrow carts in the middle of zerg v zerg fights? Thought T1 was suppose to be this awesome zerg v zerg competition but as I command for RISE I can’t help but notice the disorganization from JQ and some SoR zergs. JQ’s logic – put arrow carts in the middle of fights because our skill isn’t enough, scatter everywhere to make us look like a bigger zerg, run away. I’m noticing SoR getting better with their organization so brownie points for you guys, but man was I disappointed at the competition when we xferred to BG.
lol, 10/10! I’m glad a no name guild can judge T1 realms after just transferring to a T1 server.
This “no name guild” is running through every zerg that comes across us. Ask TYSM, TW, FEAR, and SF.
You must have short term memory loss. Forgot your first week here already?
First day we xferred here, it was WM and RISE together wiping TYSM and TW back to back at bay on SoRBL. You don’t remember that? I know I do. lol
Perhaps you should… RISE to the occasion right now
On behalf of KO, that was a fun inaugural reset run for us in t1 on JQ BL.
We only had about 18 people on BG so far, getting more every day
dat TW zerg, fighting you guys over and over again in fishing village was fun.
After losing Hills, we had to make use of some interesting diversion tactics to try to reclaim our footing. I lead our guys to attack NW tower of JQ and baited and lured them all the way to north Bay, /dance’d and gave JQ tons of bags to draw orange swords to get that TW zerg ball of death back into Bay while KnT capped Hills.
Overall, very fun experience, looking forward to more battles
JQ pulled us away making a move on Bay south as well. But yes, good times.
Welcome to T1
Er…. I mean, our JQ overlords requested assistance defending their tower against the mighty BG forces. Blast you, you clever dogs!!!!!
Whichever you prefer
Hey, he’s still pure. You shouldnt pollute his mind :p
Just took SoR’s fully upgraded Bay in JQBL… This is what happens when you attack us
We would never attack our beloved ladyfriends!
Must’ve been some mistake in our diabolical plan..
Thought BG was blue didn’t ya? Just kidding xD
Im still abit confused till now. Just logged in since SEA time today… them colours
This guy kept trying to run through green doors at reset saying “I can’t go through the door I’m reporting a bug” and it might have been the funniest thing to happen all night. Whoever that was, thanks for the laugh. <3 JQ
Hey I remember you from your time in SoR :p
I did the same once, running into different coloured portal. Probably even worse for JQ since theyve been green for so long
How ya been? I still have lots of friends on SoR and I do miss wvw with GSCH. It’s always good competition in t1. Let’s run some molten facility sometime.
Not too bad I suppose. JQ’s in bay, kill!!! :P
Havnt tried molten facility yet, in fact havnt dont pve in long time except for occasional guild bounty. Will let you know if I ever get to run it

Anyone has this problem of getting stuck on ACs after u use it?
Pressing the `release key just gives the message shown below
WP works but i have to run back to the tower :/
I had that problem the other day, I bug reported it. I was standing on a bit of a ledge which I think confused it.
Thanks for that, I think you might be right. Not standing on ledges doesnt seem to give that problem so far

As for the “blobbing” well I guess when you wipe so much all the red looks like a blob when they run over your body.
Give us a little credit. After getting wiped so many times against superior numbers, we clung on and our Mexican commander Vuka chagned his tactics around.
Then it was SORs turn to get wiped. You then decided to log off as you knew we were going to take lake from you
As I recall, from an SoR point of view, everybody was either on, or well past their bed time. Commanders logged, troops logged, and then BG’s force (which had only grown) rolled over those that were left and went about PvDooring their way around SoR BL.
But you know, tell yourself whatever you want after back to back defeats if it makes you feel better.
I’m sorry but an Oceanic guild going to bed at 9pm AEST time means that either everyone is in primary school or they are teenagers/adults and that gave up after a few wipes.
Which one is less embarrassing?
Ill be in bed by about 8pm tonight. I work hard. I don’t find that embarrassing at all. I like to feel good at 5 oclock in the morning and being beautiful I need my beauty sleep.
That’s perfectly fine and understandable.
However the overwhelming majority of students and workers are active between 8:30am-6:00pm , I find it very hard to believe that the majority of a guild log off at 9pm.
You need to stop assuming everybody has the same playing hours as you do.
I’m from HIRE and I never get to play with the main force when I get home from work 9pm or so SEA time.
Of the 3 main commanders Scyp mentioned, 2 are from NA. I’m certain 1 of them is, the other 90% sure.
Someone said something about mass exfers off….Our biggest loss was two of our commanders dropping off in eu because of real life stuff, and we ended up losing allot of coverage in that time zone, I hope they are doing well and that they will be back soon.
Here is the post of BG’s lost coverage. It’s in this same thread albeit hidden from all the BG chest thumpers from yesterday at this same time. Funny how they all got quiet this morning, haha.
The commanders he was referring to left 1-2 months ago, a lot of people from that guild left afterwards due to the disappointment the wvw update brought and/or got bored with the game. Get your facts straight?
Stead of getting defensive, perhaps you should take your issues out to your server mate “Silentflute” as he posted that fyi just yesterday in this very same thread so most are going to assume it just happened.
Did you at least get a partial refund of the gold transfer back from the guilds that left?
Sorry man, but the EU commanders they spoke of left last month or so. From HB guild. There were farewell messages in one of the matchup threads
What surprised me last night than anything else Fannwong last night was that all of SoR was centralised on SoR bl, and content to fight 30 guys (who stayed on that map for the very reason that even if we were overwhelmed in terms of numbers, that if you stay on one map we can take the rest of SoR’s ground with the other oceanics who log in). This is not trolling, but I’ve always been curious why SoR runs a full map float in oceanic, because we stopped doing that a while ago for the reasons that is hurting your current ppt.
That is that once you zerg a map to oblivion, you leave all of the rest of your assests completely undefended and often without defensive seige, and if we hit garrison when you are on another map, you can’t do it in halves as it seems to be an all-or nothing tactic.
A SoR commander who used to be on SoS with us PM’ed me last night to ask if I was commanding when the who lake thing happened, and their response is that they weren’t in it for the ppt, which is at odds with a lot of the NA staying up late (I often see a lot of TW and Choo hanging around in the OCX/HIRE blob, and yes I understand they are not technically the full force, just nightowls).
A lot of respect for some of the guys in SoR (a little less for one certain commander who I butted heads with when I was on SoR previously), but I can’t see how you think the fights are fun if you are literally sitting in a massive blob all the time and not achieving a whole lot. Regardless, we’ll you guys on the field.
tl;dr version: Running in a massive blob won’t win you the match
Was JQ not attacking as well?
I cant answer for yesterday, was at work, but on Sunday it was JQ’s massive numbers keeping a large part of our forces on the map. Occasionally, MERC WM and co. would pop in to steal our stuff as well :/
But… I had some BG friends go to SoR and they hated it there. Now, this isn’t me attacking your server, I have many friends on SoR, JQ and BG… However, everyone enjoys different environments.
Stop hating on BG, we have a fun community but it isn’t always a perfect fit for everyone…. and I imagine that is applicable to every server.
Agree. I like it in SoR, some might not
It can be frustrating fighting an uphill battle a lot of the time as well
Btw, I’m just a bad photographer I guess :p
I wouldn’t exactly say it’s an uphill battle, more so an evenly matched battle now… After all SoR is a self-proclaimed #1 NA.
I suppose I forgot to add I usually play Asian timezone, other timezones weekends only
I’d wait till the weekend to proclaim that its more evenly matched now, between JQ & BG likely, SoR I’d wait and see
Is the score ever really different? JQ is in the lead, likely going to win again because they’ve got the coverage. SoR is about 4k points ahead of BG and BG is about 4k points behind SoR.
Not much is going to really change, besides the gaps getting bigger and occasionally BG will pull 48 hour shifts.
Do you still think this is true? I mean when Blackgate was losing, a majority of SoR players were talking trash on Blackgate. Now that Blackgate’s winning SoR starts to QQ on the forums.
That’s pretty poor sportsmanship SoR; ever think maybe that’s the reason why you don’t get transfers? :/
SoR doesn’t get transfers???? thats new to me. Funny how our transfers have stayed on the server and say joining SoR was the best thing they ever did. Guess Nine Dragon was the only one to xfer off but I don’t blame them considering they were the only SEA guild on SoR at the time.
Maybe it says alot of BG’s community how they get mass xfers then mass xfers off. I know we have a few former BG members and they are happy to be on SoR. Also sounds like WM commander did some serious raging in ts/map chat over the weekend. Looks like they’ll fit in perfectly in BG!
I don’t like getting involved with this,
