Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone,

I am creating this thread in hopes to spark some friendly competition among my fellow pvpers. I am shooting for two goals here.

1) I am proposing a week(perhaps longer) long event of scheduled dueling. This will allow everyone to get their feet wet, and maybe spark some rivalry between some people. Duels will take place at the times set here in this thread. Wagers are encouraged to be placed, however not required. I recommend bringing friends to fill up server slots and to give you some momentum through encouragement.

I ask players to obtain some good footage during the week. I will handle editing should we accumulate enough for a couple good videos.

I ask that a generous player provide a teamspeak or vent server for large periods of dueling.

I also ask for players to try and Schedule duels in groups, so we can gather and watch.

Winners will be posted here, so please post or message me with the winners of each duel.

2) After the community has been dueling for a bit, I plan to arrange a tournament. The tournament will require an entry fee, and the 1,2, and 3 place winners will get a portion of the sum. The currency or items have yet to be determined.
Tournament rules will be discussed and agreed upon at a later date.

Should the turnout for this be large enough, I plan to keep records of winners in a manner that is publicly available.

We may do 2v2s and more if turnout is good.

All duels will take place in a chosen empty server, and filled if necessary.

Again, please schedule duels in this thread!

Elementalist Bunker vs. Necro or Engineer bunker

could be interesting.

Obviously want a long game. But if its a compilation of a bunch of short fights, try glass cannon vs. glass cannon

Back stab thief vs. 100 Blade war or the sort.

I’d like to see a bunker eng and necro go at it. I’d also like to see some new builds come to the tournament as well though.

Hmmm… Backstab Thief vs. Shatter Mesmer? Could prove interesting.

Maybe some condition on condition matchups? That might prove interesting.

This thread should be locked and or deleted. Shame on you for trying to outdo Anet and make pvp interesting!

I would try but I haven’t played builds good at 1 vs 1. I play support and roam that’s why this won’t work for me.

But How about Minion Necro vs. Phantasm Mesmer (no moa elite as it unsummons all Minions)
Then maybe also a spirit weapon guardian. Hehe, it’ll be 1 vs 1 but it’ll seem much more because of all the creatures.

How about also adding a rule:

The player first to capture the point(at a certain location) wins. Pretty much, it’ll force players to stand in the ring. Or if they run around too much to heal, the enemy will win because the enemy will cap.

I like this, and we may do a separate tournament with this and see what people like. I don’t want to set rules that make players feel obligated to spec certain ways.(stability traits etc) so we could just test the waters on it.

Haha, well the first phase is all about getting practice and finding players you need to work towards beating.

There’s a problem with this. 1v1 in this game is not balanced at all. Two builds will rise above all others: Mesmer condi build, and d/d ele. These are the two best 1v1 builds in the game, and most builds don’t even come close to killing them.

Im interested. I have a DPS Guardian and a DPS Necro.

Participation is entirely voluntary. If you think you are unable to beat these players you don’t have to participate. You can spec however, and I can assure you some excellent players will beat these professions.

Hell yea. Necros and Guardians. Bad kitten

Can we get a roster going of who’s going to duel with what at what time?
who’s down for tonight?
Im really interested in using my Necro for this and would love to take on anyone, whether its a burster or a bunker.
if we can get people on for tonight I’ll be on (like always) so just send me a /w ingame to link up.
Please post the Team Speak server too if we can get one up.

Please, let guild mates know whats going on here so we can get even more participants. Also, don’t forgot to post duel times here, and winners so that I can post them!

Edit: Get some video if you want to be included in the community dueling videos.

ill bite!

What we need is a list of people who can commit. I think the easiest way is to use one your reserved posts and fill it with players names and what time they are available that way we can calculate what time is best to set the tourney up.

ALSO VERY IMPORTANT! POST YOUR TIME ZONE!NAME!Your Schedule!
From here we can determine the number of people! Than we can all meet and decide on the time/brackets/prizes!

I will start:
1.Pride N Greed- Available Night time 8-12 PST

^ yus, ok I’ll be free for whatevs in 2 hrs. After that, anytime tonight I’m down for getting a full server together for some 1v1 and spectating. We can run through a 1v1 pyramid tier within that server if we max it out so noone jumps in unintentional.

Who’s going to be the commenter?

I used to take radio-tv courses but my voice is too epic for talking fast. But what fits it might be an opening narration or something like announcing blah blah blah vs blah blah blah

And by epic, I mean this genre of voice

I think it would be well suited for an intro. =D

2 x eles is very fun to watch, 2 d/d eles that is, good fight too

Write a prologue and I’ll see what I can do.

Its going to start with in a world. It must.

TGSlasher.1458:

Very true. I’m pretty sure I’v fought you before.

And perhaps end with “Our time is now”

Oh good idea.

I can play Dps-warrior, condition(pistol) or backstab-thief, shatter-mesmer and necro, condition-thief being my strongest class probably.

EDIT: Not sure when I’m playing, i’m not playing much with the horrible state of sPvP though.

EDIT2: Usually like 22:00 EST to 03:00 EST but like I said, i’m not playing much. Would probably be easier to add me in skype if someone really wants to duel a class I mentioned above: Donvito293

Well. Whenever you can, let us know so I can put your availability up.

Sounds like a good time.

Conspiracy Thëory -Shatter mez
Nights only 10-1am Mon-Fri
Sat-Sun nights 8pm-all night

Good idea. Maybe advertise in the mists too? Seems like everyone here plays at different times.

If enough people are interested you could even set up some 2v2s.

kaplis
pretty much everyday 19:00-24:00 GMT +2

I have updated the list, and would like to encourage people, as mentioned by NeverSayDie, to point fellow players to this thread if they would like to participate.

We could pick a server and call it the unofficial sPvP dueling server

Moderator edit: removed CoC infraction

Which server are you guys on ? Anyway I’m up for this

Hybrid Ranger

I’ll be on tonight a little after my availability. Post if you’re up for a match.

We’re not on the same server :/

Yeah the game isn’t balanced at all for it, but my ranger actually has beat every d/d ele I’ve seen. S/d is a bit more challanging since they ironically out ranged dps me by a wee bit.

Condi mesmers are annoying, one of the few people I’ve gone under 1:1 against played a sword-torch/staff condi mesmer, an utter pain to fight, I had to land a well timed pet CC or lose after constantly beating up his phantasms with traps/pet… if the fight has to be on BO they lose a good deal of their advantage though since they can’t kite near as far away.

:)
Rangers are exceptional at 1v1s, it just doesn’t translate over too well into tournies since their survivability is based on dodging (worse as fights get larger) and, at least in my case, protect me (pet eats all your dmg for 6~ seconds) which is also worse as fights get larger since the pet only has so much health… that combined with mediocre synergy with others just isn’t worthwhile.

Hi,

I am not high enough level to participate but I’d love to be in the map and watch any necros play so I can learn.

Seeing as there is still no spectator mode, this is my only option!

Please keep me posted, whisper me in game. Name is Aerlim.

hey dusted dont worry about lvl. feel free to join. This is how you learn and grow
