LOL, DB was a huge disappointment this week.  They really did nothing during NA primetime.  

 

I'm also 350 achievement points away from 6k.  I really really want those shoulder rewards.  Can't wait until I get them, I think they look awesome.   Also spent 45 gold to buy the Aetherized Hammer skin.  This skin is awesome, the pistons on the hammer move.  Well worth the fake money.

I'm also tinkering around with a new Warrior build.  Nothing is more fun that popping Rampage in the middle of the fight and going all Juggernaut, bitch.

Lets see if we can hold it.  SoR and BG focused on us tonight pretty hard.  It's tough facing full map zergs with 25-30 people.  It's a shame that's all those 2 servers bring.  No tactics other 1 commander tag and 60+ clueless followers.  

 

BTW, finally dinged the 6k achievement points to get my shoulders.  Had to make the new shoulders and gauntlets look good, so I added in the Tier 3 human armor and an aetherized hammer skin.  I also power leved an asuran thief via crafting and geared him all out in exotics.  I'm now officially broke at 20 gold.

Ok because Im lazy and dont check here nowhere near as much as I should, I see theres 2o2p'ers on JQ, whats some decent guilds on JQ, came back to the game with new account and what not about a week ago, leveling my warrior atm, the guild I joined is just to disorganized for my taste, at least from what I can tell so far, no one talks or offers to do group stuff, for the most part usually that doesnt bother me, I'll join in or run around solo dont make a difference but would at least like to be in a guild where folks are respresenting and the leadership is putting in the effort for the perks, etc..

Rob!  How the hell have you been?

Lala can gvie you some feedback on JQ.  There are a couple guys over there.  I'm still on FA, so I can't help you much there.  154

The guild I'm in does a lot of PvE activities, so that keeps me pretty content.  However, we have a very small group (4-5) that WvW on a fairly regular basis.  So we usually end up running supply, fortifying towers, building seige...... or wrecking the day for enemy's dolyaks.  151  We've also been working with a couple other guilds too.

I've only been on JQ for a little over a month and I'm loving it here.  I mainly do WvW and the WvW community here is pretty solid and the guilds all seem to get along pretty well.  I'm currently an officer in Strike Force. They are a very large WvW guild and are one of the main players during NA prime time for WvW.  The guild does do some PvE but that's not the main focus.  If you're into WvW and play from 8-12 PM EST, this is the guild to get into on JQ.  Another one would be Wok's guild, HzH.  

Overall, I'm really happy with JQ.  Sure, the server's population is the lightest compared to the other T1 servers.  But they're well organized and have good attitudes.

I'm on FA still but don't like it there, I'd hop to JQ in a heartbeat if the cost to transfer wasn't so high.  Seeing how I only play a couple hours a week now and have so many other games that I need to play I can't really justify dropping more money on this game.

Yeah, the price is lame.  But I really like WvW and I still play a shit ton so it was worth it to me.  Like tonight, we took everything on BGBL.  The map was painted red.  We then map hopped to our BL to defend and stabilize.  We finally returned back to BGBL when the other 2 servers rallied up people.  So many good battles.  So much loot.  We didn't get wiped once.  Pretty good night.

At this moment, Jade Quarry is the top ranked server again.

Been doing well Sherb how bout yourself ?

I like Jade Quarry from what time Ive been back in the game,  had zero issues finding groups for world bosses or anything so far,   My  main focus ATM is getting to 80 asap and getting some decent gear,   the auto level up helps but doesnt make up for the fact low geared,  so I get pwned alot more than I dish out pwnage.   The group I joined  (RAID) all seem nice enough   just seem to be a little to casual  which theres nothing wrong with that at all I like to just roll around doing world bosses and leveling myself,  but Im also really into WvWvW and I want to be in a guild thats maximizing their potential,   not having contracts set up with merchants or guild bank none of the perks is only holding players back.

Been busy as hell.  151  And GW2 & rFactor ain't helping at all!

You may consider running in 2 guilds.  Most of the "hardcore" WvW guilds don't care if you rep another guild while in PvE, they just want you repping and active with them while in WvW.  May be a way to get the best of both worlds.

Transferred to JQ.  Cost to transfer is pretty pricey, but so far the WvW experience is a welcome change, feels like the good old days of Tier 1 on ET,  and I think with the upcoming WvW changes it was well worth it.

What's better is it's not run by that Doucher from RUIN.  I'm not sure who I dislike more, him or Alaric. 



Jed and Vic are the two main commanders for NA prime time for SF.  Both get shit done.  Jed can rally them, Vic is a great in battle caller.  We constantly wipe much larger map blob zergs with about 30 ish.  People in SF really gear correctly as well.  Xeeron is another really good commander, he is on during the day.  I think he's in Germany.  Very laid back and a pretty solid commander.

The other nice thing about JQ is that the guilds all work together.  And they get along pretty well.   It's just a much nicer community.

Yeah, I'm seeing that.  Have been some pretty solid commanders in EB whenever I hop in there solo as well.  Was a guy named Sqeeee (or something like that) commanding in JQBL last night and did an awesome job of rallying everyone when BG was in our garrison trying to cap it.  Was an intense 30 minutes or so while they had a huge zerg in the room, our npc dead, and the circle changing colors back and forth but when all was said and done we wiped them and held the garrision.  Good times.

Also, loving my Necro even more now.  Hadn't really played him since Necros got buffed but damn... running a conditionmacer fear build and kicking ass.  For some reason I'm leveling my Engineer, dunno why, was going to level my Guardian but I just hate how slow the lower levels go by.  Eng isn't that bad though, I can see the potential for some serious burst damage running a Rifle/Static Discharge build at 80.

Leveled my guardian mostly by WvW.  Every few levels buy new PVT gear via karma or TP.  Then toss on some Runes of the Guardian.  The armor uplevels very well and I was pretty tanky.  I did craft the last 20 but that's so expensive now.

Pro-Tip, use condition removals on the Guardian.  Conditions are the current meta and if you can cleanse them, you're fucked.

I think I may be reaching the end with GW2.  ANET has decided to totally fuck up my favorite part of the game.  WvW is a joke.  Too much PVE.  Mismatched opponents.  It's silly.  No way JQ should be facing SoS and Mag.  I ran around all night tonight on a lame karma train.  Zero fights, zero defense.  I don't know, it just sucks now.

I was so looking forward to Season 1 starting and since it has I spend every night just sitting in WvW queues...  Last night was the first night I actually managed to get into WvW and play, and it was like you said, just a steamrolling karma train.  No competition at all = not fun.

I've been hearing about the WvW ques, so I haven't really been running there much lately.  I try popping in towards the end of the week when the ques are low for an hour or 2 here and there.

Decided to start working towards a Legendary.  Finally got map completion on my Ele.  Still thoroghly enjoying the game...but admittedly the PvE side is more of the draw for me.

I opted for an Ascended Hammer instead of a legendary.  I knew I'd never have the comittment for the Legendary.

That was the hammer w/ all the little mechanizations on it, was it not?  That thing was pretty damn cool too.

That's the Aetherized skin.  I still have that but it's on a exotic weapon.  The Ascended is the level 500 crafting shit.  Super pricey to get to 500 but whatever.  Ascended gear looks like ass so I re-skinned it to Genesis which is pretty nice looking.

 

This is the hammer, this is not my character.

Grex has scared me away from legendaries.  He's on / or was on a quest for the Juggernaut.  Only problem is one of the mats he needs to get is damn near impossible.   Silver dubloons or something.

I'm just sorta plugging away.  Stashing away the mats I need for it.  If/when I get all the bits, I'll make it.  If it doesn't happen, then so be it.  PACT has a pretty good Legendary Support Group too that I may look into joining for the next group.....depending who else is in it.  I almost joined the current group, but I had just decided I was going to progress towards a legendary...and didn't have much of a reserve of gold in the bank (10g due every week which goes towards precursors).
