Guild Wars 2

Spvp since the patch is way more of a zerg fest than it ever has been before… Why? What changed? 9/10 match’s now are all just glory grinding. I’ve even seen entire temple of storm and spirit watch matches where the entire other team just camps outside the opposing teams base and don’t even try to cap a point.

It’s been like this nearly forever…

Im rank 28 which I know isn’t that high but I’ve doesn’t some time in spvp and tpvp. I don’t think I’ve ever seen entire teams not even attempting to play the actual game until now.

go play tournaments, i never realized why people even care about play style of other people in hot join… none takes hot join seriously, just dueling, glory farming, daily achi completing etc, but not serious play

Ya I almost always do tournaments as well. I just use hot join to test builds or get my daily done. Hot join was bad before even just for these purposes. Now it seems better to just do dailies in pve and skip the build testing all together.

New daily – it force zerg mentality on people. It’s bad, gonna be worse, but hey – Anet is happy they changed something.
But as guys above said – go and play tournaments. More of zerging there (because of the daily again XD) but still, 100 times better.

I also miss being able to test new builds. I’ve been trying to learn some new professions but to do that I have to either:
1. Cripple my tourney team
2. Solo queue tourneys until my rank goes down far enough to get a pug vs. pug match…and then cripple my pug (and then destroy pugs with my main and full team when I join them again, because MMR)
3. Hotjoin but not learn anything useful about the build I’m trying because…hotjoin.

It’s a good thing I enjoy my main.

I agree with Wizzlock.
Before patch people playing hotjoins where zerging for daily/glory, testing builds or just playing the game.

After patch dailies takes way longer so the first group increased dramaticaly.

Why can’t we have “win 2 matches” (not just tournaments) as a MUST to get dailes? So people would care about winning and not just standing on points/zerging around.

I’d also add: Rez 3 teammates. Imagine that? People going crazy to get the rez, how nice would it be? lol
Oh and defending points should count, it’s time that the devs figure out how to make that work.

Don’t give them ideas, or they’ll include 20 rez in next patch XD. But defending would be nice – it’s easy to defend (successfully or not) something in PvP. Rezing – not so much. Most of situations kills both downed and rezing player XD.

Team mate rezz is an easy top stat even if you get only matches where you are outnumbered or other team is much stronger and the people from your team are better than you.

You only need to rez 1 downed and hope no one else is doing this(often nobody is helping).

Yeah, but not as a daily – everybody will do that every time someones goes down. And it probably won’t be rezing 1 guy for day – taking on account Anet new course (20 kills, 10 takeovers) it will be like 10 rez if not 50. Why start small, when You can go big? ;P

Now?
