The queue system is screwed and most of us can't get in without an hour or longer wait.

Thought I'd repost so you could read it again.

Is there room for my post here with such an ego?

The games been out a week, boasting this early just makes you look like a tool. Its too bad about Tales of Tyria, it was ok aside from all the TL/Ascension plugging. No shame, no shame.

I've got to hand it to you for how you manipulated a good chunk of people, no - really.

You see it as a flaw, I see it as a test of one's dedication to their server.

The SBI Jade Quarry match is really good.

Would be stronger if JQ and Anvil fought each other once in a while.

How many 2nd place WvW teams are going to say this in the future?  LOL

Yeah it is. SBI is now catching up fairly well even without the castle. Are these match-ups only going to be 24 hours or are they 3-ish day matchups like the previous one?

For now it's supposed to be every day. Once Anet gets an initial matchmaking profile for each server (to start with), the 2-week matchups will begin.

Not to mention on the current homeworld map we are fighting on has only slightly more than 40 players in the map with well over 1 hour queue times while shiver seems to have the full 166, about 100 defending  and zerging our 40+ players while the other 66 walk back and forth with doylaks.


Anet says this is a known issue with the queue after submitting a bug report.

Actually Freelancer last night at reset we were owning your server in your borderlands. Ask PTX when we took their keep and rolled your bay attack force 3 times in a row until they had to bring everyone on the map to take a keep.

You know the saying about the battle vs the war my friend, and the war... well... yea.

And everyone is dealing with the queues. You're not alone.

Probably the most even match-up that has happened since launch. I wish yesterday hadn't been such a crap day for the servers.

[Barab]

Ya good fighting going on. SB took an early lead at start then JQ broke even later in the  night then expanded during early am. All day SB has pushed back making up much in points. Tonight is going to be fun. SB is a worthy adversary.

Dear dwarven freinds,

I am sorry I have been killing you. It has been fun though.

P.S. Lords of Death are over here. I'm sure they aren't sorry for killing you.

If JQ and SBI are always fighting each other why doesnt one realm form an alliance with Anvil?  That will easily shift things in a major way. We used to do that in DAoC all the time.  Mids/Hibs vs Albs all day.

Ermm.. I play on SHiverpeaks and every time I've been in any borderlands the numbers are quite even.  If both sides have queues, they both have the same amount of players in the borderlands.

Please don't resort to excuse making and this whole "omigawd zerg" thing that everyone keeps doing.  If you're getting beat, man up to it and just admit defeat.  Rally your forces and make a stand.  

Every time I've been in WvW (which isn't often, because of queues!), I see Northern Shiverpeaks with its trademarked mass organization, yet Blackgate seems very confused save for a couple small groups of guilded players.  They simply don't have the same server-wide organization that we have over on Shiverpeaks.  TL has really done a stellar job getting everyone on the same page, I commend them for that.  Seriously, yesterday a MASSIVE group of mostly pug players was moving in unison, quickness rotations with the mesmers, grouping up for buffs... working as a team.

I can't wait for transfers to start costing money though, because we're getting more and more people by the second.  It's actually getting somewhat ridiculous the amount of people who transfer here just because of WvW performance.  Whatever happened to server pride?

woa tight match between JQ vs SI vs AR
i thought JQ is supposed to be betterr than that after all their trashtalking here in forum lol, but yea nice match.

Its easy to trash talk when you are beating horrible realms by 300,000 points.  Now that things are close they all seem to have nothing to say.

Can't find the exact ANet quote but this is not accurate.  They're aware that queues are causing numerical imbalances in some places that they shouldn't.  It's a bug, and has been randomly happening to everyone.  I know people on Dragonbrand that were saying they had about 40 people in their Borderlands with a 2 hour + queue, while we had 100~ ish with the same queue.  Also yesterday when the matches first started, at least on Blackgate Borderlands, we were out numbered 2:1 in every engagement map wide.  And Devona's Rest was a new server, so this match is exclusively Blackgate V Shiverpeaks.

I'm from Blackgate.  You guys definitely have us smoked on organization. Right as the new matches went active, the Blackgate Borderlands got the queue flooded by some pretty bad players.  We had one guy named "The Champ" that was actually convincing people to hit Resource Camps with around 30-40 people, rather than defend Keeps/Towers.  It wasn't even good targets.  He wanted people hitting the Camp between two of the keeps/towers that you guys held, ignoring the two other camps feeding both those keeps/towers.  Sad thing was, those 30~ people were a little less than half of what we had, while you guys had 100+.  Even when people started to ignore that idiot and we zerged, we were still outnumbered almost 2:1.

Right before I left for work though, we had managed to start taking over your Borderlands, defending Ascension and taking Dawn's Tower in prep for a move on the center Keep.  People actually started listening to only 2-3 people who knew what they were doing, and our organization was pretty tight (hitting sieges from behind with a melee rush, rolling swiftness for groups and quickness for fights, etc).

Totally agree.  We had a huge boost from Ferg's and Dragonbrand, which was sad because honestly DB had us beat in organization, just not in late night numbers.  They actually managed to take the lead every morning there was a reset, but our late night population was just way bigger.  Thankfully our queues are going down as the kids exodus to Shiverpeaks en masse (sorry in advance).

We also have some nice footage of Ascension exploiting the invunerable area of the Shiverpeak garrison keep so the question of winning the war is questionable. The sad part is they still can't take it. You might want to give a speech to the troops in your borderlands. They are having a rough time of it.

[Goodhugh]

Some serious QQgate vs TLpeaks drama getting started in this thread.  Well done!

Who'll come out on top I wonder?  The Non-Alliance Alliance or the Used To Be an Alliance But Is More Focused On Community Now Alliance?

New Match up! Jade Quarry vs. Stormbluff Isle vs Yak's Bend!

BRING IT!

[Keepy]

Is sad that they added Kaineng server so late QQ i loved that server now all the people from kaineng is inside other servers i really liked that server. Dont get me wrong i like Sanctum of Rall too but im a bit afraid that is a Role Playing server, theres nothing wrong on that but if 75% of the server is like that is a bit worrying xD  and BTW they just reset the matches:

Sanctum of Rall vs Sea of Sorrows vs Darkheaven  oH snap xD

BTW:
Fort Aspenwood (win) vs Sanctum of Rall vs Kaineng    >.>

I'm curious how Blackgate got NS again after they just lost to them. I don't doubt that they are pretty good but figured it'd be 3 "undefeated" servers.
