SoS came in highly motivated, being that this is their grand arrival to T1.

   SBI had about the lowest turnout I have ever seen over the weekend. The new content was clearly a big attraction, and we at SBI were only able to effectively contest 1 map at a time.

  I don't think the match is lost for SBI.

  At the same time, I think it could be over by this time tomorrow if SBI has another low turnout today.

no doubt.  people get a bit too uppity about any 1 given week. Holiday and event clearly had a disruption on this week.  WvW isn't the playoffs, or championships, or anything. its ongoing.

I logged on yesterday during the event apparently.  Forgot about it entirely, and just went into EB. JQQ was wiped off the map entirely. And SBI was barely hanging on.  JQQ had outmanned.
Within an hour or so of the event ending, JQQ's numbers tripled at least.  And both SBI and JQQ were able to push back slowly and take their corners for the most part.
After JQQ was still in the pve mood and decided to kill the grub of course.

MMAC isn't on JQ anymore. They were JQ's largest WvW guild. JQ is sort of underperforming w/o their coverage and in general JQ's just lacking morale as a whole.

From what we know the majority of the MMAC's commanders/old schoolers left GW2 for PS2, and those whose who staying behind transferred to SoS a few weeks back with that Emerald Council (JQ's night crew) everyone was fussing about and formed under a new name to play quietly pound on JQ and send them to T2. Some of MMAC's JQ loyalists made a new guild called AoS on JQ to try to patch the holes in the ship, but we aren't holding up so well 24/7 and are seriously short staffed as a server. I miss the old days personally, but JQ.com's politics ruined the server's morale and now those hardcore players who left are lolstomping us  from the shores of SoS. We'll probably be in Tier 2 in no time, but it will be a refreshing change to see some new faces and have JQ being competitive again in the tier it belongs in.

so TL;DR, JQ has no MMAC/EC/night presence anymore, JQ has huge holes in coverage and is probably going to finish up in Tier 2 after this match

Menaace rewriting history, and future, because he is was kicked off of jadequarry.com.  Nice.

We win T3 move into T2.
It is a holiday event week.
Get a good start and finish the weekend leading the match-up
We are told the deficit will be clawed back mid-week.
Go on to win the match.

If the Millennium site is correct, if SoS wins this match they will jump ahead of both servers to be the new first place server... From a T4 Server to First place in a couple weeks. God I love this game!

Don't let your politics override what the actual scoreboard says. We used to be such a great server. I didn't like the bragging/trolling, but as far as being talented I kind of miss MMAC's presence/coverage, as well as TW and a few others who also left because of JQ.com's politics. We were 3rd (at best) before them, and 1st with them. Now w/o them we are 3rd barely and falling fast. Those are rock solid facts man. Whether they are the reason for JQ's morale boost or whatever you can't argue with the fact that JQ is not the same powerhouse w/o MMAC or all of those EC guilds who left with them.

JQ will probably end up in 5th/6th seed over the next month and I'm not speaking for a majority, but many dislike JQ.com because of them salting the earth over silly forum politics and chasing off the guilds who put up the points. Let that be a lesson to the other up and coming Tier 1 servers. Don't be like JQ and try to umbrella everyone under some authoritative "community" run website who is actually run by one kid and his guild on a power trip. No offense to them, but in all honesty no big legacy guild wants a 15 year old telling them how to play the game and then ban them from the forums when they don't comply (post I quoted), they'll leave just like TW and MMAC left. Be a real community, let everyone contribute and play, and just play the game for the sake of playing and having fun. 1st place will come naturally to those who work together.

On the bright side SoS is doing awesome right now, and it's because they are very organized and determined. I miss that on JQ :/

Aren't the JQQ folks being a little melodramatic?  You are 3k points behind during an event weekend, and you are running up the white flag?

I don't speak for SoS or even my guild, but the majority opinion going into this match is that we'd be lucky to be where you are right now by the end of the weekend.

Our lack of a dedicated Euro presence plus the event now coming to an end means that this week has just started.  We'd have to be up by at least 60k for me to feel even somewhat at ease.

I don't really want you to get your spirits up, but I can't stand to see you crying in your beers like this.

No, you and a queue is what drove TW off.

MMAC as a guild had no real list of accomplishments and most of the other servers we fought just laughed at them.  

AoS is way better then them without being a detriment to WvW like MMAC (specifically Menaace/Walker).

Also you are using the same arguments that you have been using since you got kicked from jadequarry.com  Menaace.  I thought you were trying to pretend to be someone else.  It's apparent you know nothing about what is going on over there, nor who is involved with the forum.  If anything Aleister is older than you.  And they have only one other Mod on there, the rest of the Mods are from other guilds.

That person doesn't even play on JQ.  As far as we know he doesn't even play Guild Wars anymore because his forum politicking got him in such deep water he couldn't back out.  So his team left him and created a new one.  So he is now back on here pretending to be from their guild and posting this garbage.

Well, Im going to say this honestly.  No disrespect to JQ intended.
JQ was never #1. and really only #2 post HoD.

The Glicko scoring system is flawed for WvW matchups, and especially with the transfers.
SBI was #2.  They got pushed down, and barely overtaken by ET.  JQ was then #2 according to Glicko. but lets be honest, SBI was targeted.
HoD broke up.  ET was "#3" but again, in reality 4 or 5.  JQ got +115 points vs a "#1" server that was in reality a #10-15. and ET which was more like 4 or 5. You didn't play vs SBI.  This put JQ into #1. but you didn't beat the real top server at this point, SBI.
Next week, HoD still in T1, but completely empty.  Even PRX gone now.  JQ 451, HoD 48, SBI 135. +93 for JQ, +46 for SBI.  Now, you did beat SBI, but still had HoD poisoning the well.  Perhaps you could argue this was a true week at #1. but frankly, I don't agree. It was just who would control HoD's space better.
Next week. JQ/SBI/IoJ.  SBI won.   Close match.
Next week JQ/SBI/BG. SBI won.  JQ down to #3.
Next week JQ/SBI/BG. SBI won.  JQ up to #2 again.
Next week JQ/SBI/BG. SBI won.  Same result.

SBI is and has been the #1 server since HoD broke up, consistently.


I don't know who exactly you have lost, to say where you will land.  SoR is pretty strong.  SoS had a real fight with them.  Its a bit odd to see BG beating them so hard atm. Maybe they had eventitis.  IoJ is fairly weak. they lost alot.  I was also suprised to see them do so poorly in T2, after that good showing in T1.

Really, is that why you went ultra QQ for a week straight when we left, then ran to SBI?


Actually he's talking about FANG's partner guild, Aggroculture.  For the record, I don't think they came with us; second; Kelo is trash.  All he ever did was come on the forums and bash his own server.  If SBI keeps recruiting top talent like that, then they won't hold their position for long.

Actually you ([fang]) are the reason Crystal Desert fell apart like it did, Luvpie was the primary driving force of keeping WvW going there and when he gave up so did everyone else. Even the Reddit folks started giving up and has sense broken up due to WvW most of which have gone to Tarnished Coast. I however wanted to play WvW with more active and serious players so I moved around a little and ended up on SBI due to it's great community and (usually) always active WvW playerbase (this week being an anomaly). Also where the hell have you all been I been in WvW 12 hours a day all weekend and been on all 4 maps (jumping around due to zero coverage on any) and seen only a single [fang] tag I guess all you guys brought to SoS was more PvE heroes lol. I have actually seen more [AGGR] than I have seen [fang]. I really want to get the chance to kill your entire guild with a small group and it would make my day to put a spike through Luvpie.

When many of us came from Dragonbrand to SoS, we had a dream of contributing to something great.

We've all built something special here.  Every guild and every single player has made a difference.  Do not let up, continue the good fight.

I want to say, I'm proud to call SoS home.  Cheers to all, and keep working until it is in the books.

fang isnt big at all. i jus see pugs of fang in sos zergs. prx is the only guild who can actually fight and its because they have numbers. sos cant fight that well all they have is more numbers , with this being their first week in tier 1, and we're farming fractals for ascended items in the long run.

have fun while u guys farm fractals in the near future, and thanks for leaving us so much red to cap, i made six gold in wvw this weekend

good luck with your queues the next two weeks

ps. after weeks of practice in lower tiers there is still a vital strategy that not even prx knows about. but you guys had a great turnout this wekend

Where did the "badass" forum warriors from my server SBI Disappear? We barley have enough numbers to cover our own BL and EB during most of the day. Come one guys, you talked so much on how you "owned" Blackgate and how you will make SoS cry in WvWvW. It is time for you to show up in battle!!!

SBI was #2.  They got pushed down, and barely overtaken by ET.  JQ was then #2 according to Glicko. but lets be honest, SBI was targeted.
HoD broke up.  ET was "#3" but again, in reality 4 or 5.  JQ got +115 points vs a "#1" server that was in reality a #10-15. and ET which was more like 4 or 5. You didn't play vs SBI.  This put JQ into #1. but you didn't beat the real top server at this point, SBI.
Next week, HoD still in T1, but completely empty.  Even PRX gone now.  JQ 451, HoD 48, SBI 135. +93 for JQ, +46 for SBI.  Now, you did beat SBI, but still had HoD poisoning the well.  Perhaps you could argue this was a true week at #1. but frankly, I don't agree. It was just who would control HoD's space better.
Next week. JQ/SBI/IoJ.  SBI won.   Close match.
Next week JQ/SBI/BG. SBI won.  JQ down to #3.
Next week JQ/SBI/BG. SBI won.  JQ up to #2 again.
Next week JQ/SBI/BG. SBI won.  Same result.

This is why I'm glad there's a rating system in place for determining the winner. The #1 spot is not chosen by people on a forum cherry picking context in order to argue their prominence. It's determined by an unbiased score. Sure it's not perfect, but there's no argument with it. SBI is current #1, but JQ was #1 for a short time. Deal with it.

Someone is kinda mad they are getting beat by a previously T4/5 server?

Also to prevent lock, can we get a score update?

Yeah, I can understand that.  but we clearly broke Glicko. I admit, I don't know enough about it to know if its intended to work in a 1v1v1 situation.  But the output.. doesnt seem to be.
Glicko website itself says its intended for many matches in a rating period.  so, is wvw 1 match/week, or 1 match every 15min for a week.  again, Im not sure on that.

Is it supposed to create a proper rank, or create mobility in the rankings?  Two very different things.  A "true" ranking system, would encourage 1-3 getting there and staying there.  HoD with its "undefeated" streak would have likely had a huge point lead.  I would assume then, that Glicko was intended for mobility.  and such situations were SBI was pushed down to #4, despite in realty being the clear #2 in terms of presence, and wins.  Glicko did not take into account the amount of force used. only SBI's expected place in #2, and the actual points they got.  Failing to hold an expected ppt, vs a lower ranked JQ, caused SBI's glicko rating to drop.
Again, glicko favors mobility, not accurate ranking.
Then ET and HOD.  glicko was designed for a player.   Not a server. ET and HoD should have effectively been disqualified from the rankings. reset to base.   Hell every free transfer just screws it up. Glicko can not handle transfers.

If you want a real server ranking. count wins and losses vs whos who.  SBI has only lost to JQ, twice I think?

I don't think GW2 broke glicko or any rating system, people just have to accept there's some inherit delay between true power of a server and its rating, as well as no accounting for 2v1ing of a server.

The important thing is that there's an unbiased way for a server rating to be determined, and it's difficult to manipulate the ratings.

I've become a little disillusioned in WM since transferring to SBI. WM isn't the elite group of deathdealers that they were in GW1 and seemed to be at the start of GW2. It seems like the core group has moved away from GW2 and WvW, and what's left is those who joined the bandwagon.

I was in EB all weekend and it seemed like WM was disorganized, discouraged and disarrayed the entire time. That in addition to WM being okay with people like Profit Sports talking nonsense makes me disappointed that WM's quality has fallen to the wayside.
They were pissed off because the reset occurred 1.5 hours late.

SoS might not have the Coverage SBI has and really needs more non NA coverage.

But one thing has been made clear this weekend when both sides have a que on the same map SBI has been getting owned badly.

So make up all the excuses you want too, even if SBI ends up winning the score from their overseas night cap crews you know you have already been beaten.

No, you and a queue is what drove TW off.

MMAC as a guild had no real list of accomplishments and most of the other servers we fought just laughed at them.

It would be a great start stopping that nonsense talk. I joined JQ as the server was in T2 and had a really hard time fighting. And I regulary joined the teamspeak on JQ borderlands as I was playing wuvwuv. Menaace was always there, never seemed to sleep really long and he was nice in /m and ts - as most of MMAC,
A day after I transferred to JQ I went to jadequarry.com because I thought joining a community is better then just joining a server. But that forum is awful, maybe it's because many of the flamers are fans of the moderation or mods are just kids.
I don't see why starting hate wars over community sites makes sense in any way and I don't get it why a forum team allows that. You want to keep a good community on JQ - you won't by flaming guilds on your server for whatever reason. Sure, argue by "we were there first, we are the community" but remember you are maybe 10% of the servers population and you need that other 90% or you end up like HoD.
