Guild Wars 2

I’m interested in seeing how involved players are in sPVP on others servers. Here on Stormbluff Isle things are very slow which is a little disappointing. Maybe it’s just my server but I was hoping for more enthusiasm and interest in sPVP, everyone seems focused on WvW or PVE… bleh.

Well, sPvP is not server-based, and you can play against other servers, so it doesn’t really matter. But I guess in my server the mist is always with tons of people. Server: Eredon Terrace

(presuming not tournament) it always seems fairly busy. i find it wonderful that the teams get rebalanced and sometimes you can be playing against someone you were just on a team with. it makes for some wonderful grudgeless battles.

can i take this space to say i had a game the other day where i ended up trying to cap a point on which a mage was being stubborn enough to try keeping. i was playing necro. we spent 5 minutes circling each other, throwing everything we had at each other. probably the best 5 minutes of gw2 so far, in my opinion, because we seemed so evenly matched.

in the end, one of my teammates showed up and the mage died. but i felt so bad about that because i never got to find out who’d ultimately have won that one (though i felt he would).

what got me was, straight afterward, he whispered me to laugh about it. and i have to say it shocked me that we can whisper to the enemy. that’s an amazing concept for me, coming from other mmos where you don’t really do much except spit vitriol in code.

and i’ve had a few encounters like that since, where you work with a team, then you’re fighting against them the next game and you can have a few chuckles at each other’s expense. i think this is a wonderful and comfortable spvp experience and i’m hoping it continues without too much “you’re all noobs on my team because you’re not winning for me” talk.

lovely. colour me very enthused and interested. also, i find the mists is always very populated, but whether they’re queueing or not…?
my server is the henge of somethingsomething.
