Guild Wars 2

Literally everyone just pugs, and the few teams that are out there that are established have no sort of recruitment process, or need for one even. Pugging gets old, somebody pick me up yo

I feel the same way. I main necro and while I am no where near skill capped, I understand the mechanics and gameplay and am a strong contributor to any team fight. I think it might be partly due to the guild system? For example new, skilled player, joins a guild of other skilled players. They either run into an unfortunate amount of established teams or lose based on poor team play.

They have no incentive to stay with that guild and build report and most don’t. They assume they were playing with poor players when in reality they just had poor coordination. WIth the current guild system you just “stand down” and rerepresent the next team you think might have some chance at not getting rolfstomped.

Check out the guild forums. I’m in a pretty dedicated pvp-centric guild on Devona’s Rest. We have organized tpvp teams and lots of members always playing in spvp. Feel free to send me a message if you’re interested.

I’ll join ya,i normally just pug sPvP (i have given up on solo queing in tPvP), and my god am i sick of the stupidity i find in pugs… Like today, someone claimed that because he (a 100blades warrior) lost a 1v3 against 3 bunker eles that eles are overpowered… i think i facepalmed so hard i gave myself a concussion…

But seriously, if anyone wants to do tPvP hit me up! I’m normally on my engineer (Lawrence Ravenhowl) and am on MWF nights (well, usually) and T,TH,S,Sun around 8/9am- noon, sometimes 2pm central time.

I join ya too were 4 now ^.^

ME ME ME PLEASE PICK ME ME ME ME PICK ME PICK ME

Well seems there’s alot of people in this thread who all want a team, but nobody who wants to start one, ha.

All of you talk to each other and start a team.

I am more than happy to help form a team between all of us. I play a lot of different rolls ankittenired of just theorycrafting + hotjoin…not all that fun anymore. I am on the server Anvil Rock, but with guesting we won’t have any issues. I don’t know if any of you are attached to a current guild but I am not and would be more than happy to form one to help build a competent and active team for us.

EDIT: When I say help form a team I in no way mean “be a leader” lol. Without players who are willing to dedicate time to learning their classes, learn from the many losses that will come, and actually COMMIT and stick with a team nothing will ever happen. Needs to be a cooperative effort.

Okay im mailing all of the guys who wanted to be in a team and sending guild invites too!

No worries, leadership isnt just given its earned. But a guild to join would help seperate those who are interested from those who are not

I am going to form a guild after we all get a chance to talk and discuss team names/design/etc. I plan on PMing everyone in this thread interested and might even toss an ingame letter. In the time I have played I have seen too many teams crash and burn because they are not on the same page. So I think we could draft at least a small set of “standards” that we all agree to abide by so we are at least on the same page with what we want to accomplish and what we won’t put up with. Drama, rage quitting, lack of dedication (never logging/representing/being available), and excessive gloating/QQing/trash talk are things I simply thinks that are not desirable in general but are pretty common in some MMO communities. Sound ok?

Sounds perfect.

I’m currently in a guild, (well that I represent all the time) but ill certainly join an sPvP one! Just no promises ill be representing it as much as I do my RP one.

PS: I prefer playing my engi, but I can play ranger, mes, and staff ele, no I will not go d/d

Ha a little flexibility will go a long way, but don’t worry I don’t think any of us are interested in forcing someone into a playstyle they don’t like. I have character slots for every class and am more than willing to fill gaps in our team setup if needed.

I am on Anvil Rock atm, not that server matters, just figured I’d throw that in there.

Play well and people will ask you to join their guild.

Endgame that is the plan lol. Update: until we get together and decide on a guild we are temporarily using Droppin Bodies to organize ourselves. Add me as a friend in game and message me at your earliest convenience so we can capitalize on these next few weeks in 1v1. Good chance to get good experience as a team on the various maps.

I’m actually looking for a very good ranger to join our team. You most likely won’t be playing a meta build. I expect you to believe you are one of the best but be humble and be a gentlemen or lady about it. We don’t want bragging or trash talk. We’re a really chill and laid back team. On that note if you think you’re innovative we’d love to have you too.

Private message me on the forums or in game. We’ll check you out.

Head on over to Anvil Rock, join up with the guild “tPVP”. I am confident that you will be able to find a team pretty easily within a couple days, you being anyone that needs a team and or wants to get in on some paid tourny action.

because this game is about teamwork. One bad player will literally drag a team down against good players. One bad rotation at the wrong time can turn a two cap into an enemy 3 cap in the blink of an eye. New players don’t make teams up cuz they’ll just get kitten on and not know what’s goin on over and over and over and over.

Old players dont make teams cuz they’re lazy and can’t find any players good enough that play during their time-frame.

While I don’t disagree and I cannot fault you for your opinion, it is one of the major flaws in the MMO community. Old players would like to think they were never new players and just jumped in game with skill. Those “bad” players are only separated from the good players by time, effort, and little help/coaching. If people don’t start taking initiative GW2 PvP may be in trouble, but I remain very hopeful. As an “old” MMO player/PvPer I’d like to see more players take after Nemesis and Narcarsis, who are more than willing to help new players expand and actually learn to play the game.
