HoD the black sheep ><
im not talking about zerging at all, your post is invalid. look i can attack your argument too while not actually adding anything.
You’re talking about siege battles, which only happens when there’s a zerg around.

so… 15 attackers vs 5-10 defenders is a zerg v zerg
cuz thats what goes on.
and thats pretty much everyone in all 4 maps during NA nights / early morning.
maybe you shouldnt play during NA prime time. but then again, you dont get attention drawn off of your playstyle by the larger groups playing for points.

This week have been fun. Have to say that FC is doing a great job ( ~you finally got lowlands today!!)
Anyway this is what fergs and henges guilds (yes, that’s what we called you here in ET) do during downtime:
PS: Have to say that fergs killed us after. So sad!

15 attackers vs 5-10 defenders isn’t going to cause a siege battle. The attackers won’t have enough constant supply to make it one. Maybe we have different definitions of a battle? I know we have different definitions of what a zerg is. But I won’t argue any further about this topic, because either way zerg or no zerg present in a battle, a mortar doesn’t take skill to man.
We don’t draw attention? Tell that to the zergs that yell out over chat to chase us till kingdom come to kill us.

it doesnt take skill to shoot burn shots into a zerg
it does take skill to hit an enemy treb on the first shot
it takes alertness to kitten the ac about to kill your mortar
there is a burden of knowledge to all prebuilt and standard placed siege, and blind spots
…but you enjoy being chased across a map by uncoordinated noobs who outnumber you because it makes you a distraction. ok. i guess it makes you feel important. you arent getting the attention of the coordinated large groups, they tell their people not to bother chasing because you arent worth ppt.
OH you people! Just run around and put those supply traps everywhere, then no one will have supply to take anyones stuff. its a brilliant idea.

Sorry, you’re not going to convince me that something an 8 year old can do competently takes skill.
And lol at your assumptions.
and all of the supposed skill it takes to do any of these things doesn’t win you anything different in last place in the bottom tier than it does in first place in the top tier.
that’s the point you’re missing. it doesn’t mean anything.
play and have fun in whatever capacity you want to play and have fun but please don’t pretend that your version of fun is somehow more valid than PAXA’s, because at the end of the day you both win the same big shiny pile of nothing.

Oh, where you got any idea about us arguing about fun is beyond me. If sieging is fun to people, by all means they should do it.

If we are fighting ET, who is defending durios, while we hold umberglade, we can sure as hell have enough supply. If we are attacking durios we also probably have some supply in our keep(It almost always has 1000), so yeah, the attackers will be able to have constant supply for siege.
So I just thought of 1 situation that happens all the time where we fit your definition of a battle and mine. Would that be fun to you?
Its ok osif let the zerglings keep their leet mortar skills and the fact that the only reason they can’t beat you is because you don’t give ppt.
Anet designed the game for all kinds of different people and we can all have fun at the same time.

holy kitten, the 8 year old thing is so tired already. mortars arent the only piece of siege. stop harping on 1 anecdote about your cute lil kitten
not even a lot of gamers whove been playing realm v realm for 10 years will spontaneously think to check for a blind spot and place a counter weapon. or better, refuse to reveal a covered spot until you start building something to counter something else. those are people worth fighting. not your 8 year old who happened to shoot into a zerg that got stupid and wiped against your zerg.

Had one of the most fun fights in GW2 yesterday on HoD BL. Oink and BS fighting Invi +2/3 randoms I believe. We saw the fight and decided to jump in.
It ended up being a non-stop 15 minute 3-way fight. It was kittening kitten kitten sexy kitten super kittening awesome.

If you are giving value to a play style in a game designed for FUN, one would assume that you would judge it based on how much fun you have.

Sorry that I responded to your comment about manning mortars taking skill? haha. You made a comment about mortars, I made a response about mortars. If I make a comment suggesting that placing a square block into a square hole is hard, I wouldn’t expect someone to make a retort saying that golf is an easy sport. Well, unless they were a little special.
If you don’t get the ridiculous analogy – you made a comment about manning mortars taking skill, I’m not going to assume that you mean every aspect of siege in general takes skill.

Well, that’s debatable. I think ZvZ gives you a much bigger pile, but it isn’t a shiny pile of nothing it is a pile of shinies that amount to nothing.
Anyways PAXA sucks qq nobody likes them and their pvp minded ways gg we’re all better there argument closed.

Plenty of people have fun doing skilless activities. Watching tv doesn’t take any skill but is fun. Arguing about skill has nothing to do with arguing about fun.
Probly could beat all PAXA 1v1 (cept mesmers) but ofcourse that means nothing since they all run group oriented builds. Still I think osif should calm down a bit about what takes skill. Sure you can put a noob up on a mortar or treb and have him nail the same spot for 3 hours straight and get loot bags, but I don’t think anyone is arguing that. Skilled treb shooters that nail my siege on the first shot are far more annoying than any skilled roamer, not to mention they actually are playing for objectives.
Seriously 5v5 does not require the amount of skill you say it does, it requires the correct builds and the ability to press CTRL+T.

Maybe that line of thinking is why you do not excel in group v group play? :p

Exactly. you can put a noob up on a mortar and have him play competently and win battles with him. Put a noob in a PvP situation and he gets wrecked and makes teams lose fights.

It ended up being a non-stop 15 minute 3-way fight. It was kittening kitten kitten sexy kitten super kittening awesome.
Yeah that was fun it was just free for all we kept trying to make sure we hit the back of Oink/BS while they were hitting you because we thought they had more people but then we would push to far and be stuck in-between all of you lol.
well i would assume the pursuit of points for no reason must be because it’s fun, and if it isn’t because they think it’s fun then i’d really have to wonder about their mental health and stability.
i assume PAXA does what it does because they enjoy it (for various reasons), much like those who play for points enjoy it (for various reasons). there is no in game reward for either format of play, and it’s all a matter of personal satisfaction/enjoyment/fulfillment/fun.
i don’t think anyone questions which type of “fun” takes more skill, but the arguments that pop up about who’s fun is more justified is … erm … a bit silly.
most of the ppt players on henge adore PAXA & admire their skills, and they encourage people to become better individual players instead of blobby zergers. our wvw community considers them an integral part of our make-up & whether they play for points or not they do inadvertently help everyone that does by being general bad kitten and messing kitten up all over the place. kittened kittening kittens. =^.^=
any server that has groups like them should consider themselves lucky, and on henge we are very lucky to have a few groups.

They had a few more than us, as we had 5, but we kept pulling back to the bridge if we saw we were about to get squished, trying to get you two to fight then jump back in. Also always tried to hit whatever side had more players up at the time. It was a chaotic cluster kitten and very enjoyable.
Why PAXA is fighting on the forums and not on the game?
Coming soon next week – the next unholy alliance. ET/HoD double team on FC. (j/k j/k. I am terribly amused by every conspiracy theory out there including those from my own server.)
I’m sure I will focus on whoever is wearing green… So if it become FC, then FC will be my primary target. As all rating are based on the kid with the green shirt.

I know this quote isn’t from you but I can’t be bothered to sift through every post and I hope you agree with this post.
Sorry but there is no rush from taking a tower. There is probably 1/8th the brain power used that it takes to win a fight against as good or better players. I’m not here to waste my time or my guilds time on 1/8 brain power activities.
8 year olds can log on throw seige down and spam 2 buttons. We’ve moved past that rung on the mmo ladder.
The rush from beating back a large/good group is what you find fun, yeah? You guys enjoy using skills to take down enemies using their skills/numbers against you. I don’t know how you think correct siege placement, which can make or break a fight doesn’t take skill, or how our use of 20 person groups with correct use of combo fields, res mechanics, and siege to take on groups of similar size does not take skill. Using one group to lure the enemies to one tower while a smaller group ninjas the other takes skills. They are very different skills, and your may take a bit faster reaction time, but that does not give one greater value over the other.
I think the problem a lot of people have with your group rather than others it the value judgement you make on our fun, but we can not calls yours less. You insult us by saying it takes less brain power or w/e to fight. Follow along with the other roamer guilds who call out good fights and don’t try to push others down. We don’t care about the elitest attitude, we are about having fun. Find a different tier if you don’t like it, find a different game. This isn’t DaOC. Get that kitten out of here and lets have fun.

Jscull isn’t going to be polite about an aspect of the game he doesn’t respect. It’s just who he is. Tons of people take offense to the things he says, which it looks like you have as well. But what he says is true… he’s just stating what the devs have said but the devs are a little bit less brash haha. WvW is designed for casual players. PvP was designed to be hardcore. PvP turned out to be a failure (which can be changed in the future, of course) so many PvPers came to WvW. By definition PvP in this game is going to take more skill than WvW, shooting mortars and such. Do whatever you have fun doing, but everything that I have posted today isn’t about what people find fun in this game.
Oh nice, an argument about the skill needed to use siege. Siege is like kicking a field goal in Madden, only the bar moves much slower, allowing you to take your time in placing a shot. That’s for the hard ones, not like the point and click variety that only requires you to be semi-awake at your keyboard. I can see why this siege thing appears tough for people though, those field goals sure can be hard to kick at times. I mean, it’s not like half the siege is placed in the same spot, day in and day out…
I also like Moobs’s random assumption that he can kill all of PAXA 1v1. Not sure how you garner this, but I suppose it makes you feel better. I can’t wait to see what amazing bunker build it is you duel with. I’m sure it’s something none of us have thrashed or seen a million times, given how innovative and well played they are. Clearly not something people have beaten to death a million times.
Oh thank goodnesss, no wind!
holy kitten, the 8 year old thing is so tired already. mortars arent the only piece of siege. stop harping on 1 anecdote about your cute lil kitten
not even a lot of gamers whove been playing realm v realm for 10 years will spontaneously think to check for a blind spot and place a counter weapon. or better, refuse to reveal a covered spot until you start building something to counter something else. those are the people worth fighting. not your 8 year old who happened to shoot into a zerg that got stupid and wiped against your zerg.Sorry that I responded to your comment about manning mortars taking skill? haha.

you dont get that im just giving an example of a tool in the arsenal. manning a mortar is the equivalent of your 5 man capping a sentry. do you always do it? well, you have a good chance of drawing pve noobs to it. so maybe you would for a few easy kills. would you always? maybe youre running a couple camps to help out a larger group. stopping at a sentry might slow you too much.
but lol my 8 yr old kill a sentry las week lol y wud u evar cap a sentry wen sum incompetent scrub cud do dat competently?
come on man. dont be an kitten . i dont sit on mortars waiting for a zerg to walk into range. you dont cap sentries all day.
I also like Moobs’s random assumption that he can kill all of PAXA 1v1.
Except mesmers!
OKOK probably engies too

Hey Eredon Terrace and Fergs should just marry each other.
that way you can crawl on the bottom together, or hell maybe you’ll get somewhere!You must be new here, allow me to provide you a heads up, we have been in the bottom tier together long before you or HoD showed up.
We are more like siblings at this point, we have our petty spats, but in the end, we are stuck together.
then die together.
Don’t make us come down there….
Ahahaha! Amadeus, did you see the latest score? This is such a funny turn around.
I did I did, we are very proud!

No one ever claimed that taking a sentry with 5 people required any skill whatsoever, as it doesn’t. You had previously claimed that using a mortar required skill.
You have now, by your own admission said that manning a mortar doesn’t require skill. Thank you for ending the argument. It is much appreciated.
Healing is a noob skill… Don’t heal unless you are 8 years old.
How about a score update? I’ve got ages to go before I can go home.
You even said it yourself…we take out camps and vets to lure groups in to fight us. You’re not sitting on a mortar to bring in enemies to fight, you’re using the mortar in place of actually righting.
For the ones commanding I’m sure sieging is a lot of fun and very demanding in terms of tactics. If you aren’t commanding you’re probably just following Lord and Most High Blue Dorito.
In the zerg you make a mistake and still have a horde of friends to rez you. In a 5 man fighting out numbered all day means a mistake can wipe your entire group.
Zerg all day, have fun with it. Just don’t try to convince me its on par skill wise with running in a small man.
I’m not PAXA anymore Moobs, but whisper me anytime you want to back up that 1v1 talk. Bring whatever class or build you prefer.
Signa

getting myself killed usually means i did too well. i dont lead a zerg. i dont join a zerg. i work alongside a zerg, giving the commanders ideas about siege placement if theyll listen and take advantage of it. i usually solo camps while they pvd in bls, or watch a tower or solo roam in eb. horde of friends, yeah right.
