Guild Wars 2

Commanders are very much OP, someone said so in another thread and I got to thinking about it, the fact is the side that has the commander versus the side without the commander always generally does better, having just 1 decent one makes your entire team win battles and take whole objectives. Isn’t that over the top? 1 player shouldn’t make so much of a difference in the grand scheme of things.

I read the title as “Commandos are OP”.

Well I don’t know about anyone else. but I feel pretty OP’ed when I go commando

Don’t we all. Heaven forbid we find a commando commander

hoo boy. is that why i was on fire in HoD’s BL this morning!

That’s not true at all. Commanding takes some skill. The only thing commanding does on its own, is gather people. Actually winning against another zerg takes experience, coordination, knowledge, and map awareness. And if people don’t listen to the commander, or the commander doesn’t communicate, there might as well not be a commander there at all. I’ve seen randoms take out a zerg with a commander, plenty of times. Or bad commanders wasting zergs on silly things, because they haven’t got a clue about what needs to be done.

Honestly, most of the time people just need is a little encouragement.. All commanding really means is communicating. You don’t need to be a commander to write in the chat.

Heretic! Take your organisation elsewhere, nerfbat nerfbat nerfbat nerfbat!

How about an “Everyone go commando day” ? Lets all feel OP for a change.

They got a kitten pin and not us, nerf the kitten out of them.

Well the Commander & Squad system is certainly NOT OP. It’s the worst multiple grouping system I’ve used in the last six years. No basic functions or abilities to make private squads. I don’t have to go into details… just search the ga-zillion threads complaining about the C&S system or lack of “guild commanders” for private guild events.

As far as one server with a commander and the other without…. .you can’t blame the system if you are on a server without coordination and leadership.

Besides what’s been said, following the commander at all is an individual choice.

Besides, there’s no shortage of commanders in any server, I bet if you go in LA you’ll see some there, some more in dragons and so on and so on.

Speaking of commander tags in PvE, I was in the Maguuma Jungle today doing my daily, 8, EIGHT, commander tags on the guild challenge.
Went to LA after that, another 4 there, and let remind you this in a tier 1 server, at that time there was one in EB, and none on any of the BLs, great job everyone we’re the next Blacktide.

i said it on another forum, i’ll say it here, too. a Commander alone is 100 gold wasted on a pretty tag. a Commander backed up by good team, on the other hand, can move mountains.

however, i believe this post was originally made in jest due to the high number of "such and such is OP" posts lately
