Guild Wars 2

Okay, heres little old me running around trying to get map completion done in WvW. I think its hilarious that I get zerged by 10-20 people that chase me down and kill me.

Would some explain why I matter that much?

People in WvW have no pride.
Dont really think anything is going to change that. People do not hesitate to join an already uneven match.

If the zerg is following a commander, or frankly any leader for that matter and the leader goes after you, then here they all come, like lemmings off a cliff. If the commander actually has a plan in mind, then they’ll probably run past, and you may get 1 or 2 stragglers, or none, at the back of the line that break off to come after you.

We let solos go unless they are right on the path where we are heading. Not ever worth it to chase one guy down.

I have noticed that pugs, regardless of a commander tag or not, are like a group of sharks smelling blood in the water. They tend to attack whatever they can see….

What exactly were you doing to signal to opponents that you were looking to do map completion?

What’s to stop someone else like a scout from doing the same thing.

The only time WvW is PvE is when it’s PvD. You enter the portal to WvW and you’re not in Kansas anymore.

You’re possible loot, and I’d take any chance at loot there is. You’re definitely not at all important but your corpse might help break even for the day.

I have to agree with this guy. ANet put vistas and points of interest in WvW for a reason — they wanted it to be a risk to get all of them. You enter WvW and it’s fair game anywhere, whether you’re exploring, doing the puzzle, or whatever. You could be scouting for your team, or trying to get free seige by getting map completion. In a war, it wouldn’t be very smooth to let the enemy have free seige, no?

No one on the other side knows that your just their for world completion.
And you cant say that to them ( and they wouldnt believe you anyway )

For all we or they know, your running around killing dolyaks, supply starving keeps.

It’s not you. It’s those badges you’re carrying. Sweet, sweet badges. Oh, and that you might be a dolyak ganker. So, actually it kind of is you. And your delicious badges.

Or looking for a tree to pee on. THINK OF THE TREES!

Red = dead. No exceptions.

If I’m defending any of the objectives and see 2-3 enemies near me, those going for PvE objectives like vistas and skill points get murdered first. The math is simple. They’re trying to avoid combat and probably aren’t geared properly for WvW. The faster I kill them the better my odds are at surviving a 1vX.

Solo PvEers who /bow and jump up and down as a sign of nonaggression are even more fun to kill.

Your a walking loot pinata. PvE tears are also enjoyed if supplied, but not mandatory.

Truth. The longer you stay on the ground dead without respawning the more we perceive you as being mad. Spend more than 3-5 seconds dead while solo and the more likely jumping, laughing, dancing, and tonics come into the equation.

What I want to know is why you think you’re important enough NOT to get zerged down by 10-20 people. They’re a freight train. You’re a bug. Squash.

Welcome to WvW we don’t care who you are, if you are not on our team, you will be dead. We can’t pvp in your pve zones so we are not going to let you pve in our pvp zone.

I think it’s hilarious that you think the enemy would have the slightest clue what your actual intention is. You could be scouting, you could be on your way to kill a yak, you could be headed somewhere with supplies to build siege (offensive or defensive), you could be on your way to tap a keep gate to make the waypoint contested, you could be on your way to operate defensive siege at a tower that was shorthanded and under attack … or you could be doing any number of other things that I wouldn’t want to just let you do if you were on the other team. You merely being alone does not make you a probable non-combatant. What part of any of this is so difficult for you to understand?

Okay I get it, thanks for all the input and replies, pretty funny stuff some of them:)

This WvW stuff is all new to me….

Why do you take it so personally? They can’t even see your name.

It’s the bag you drop that people are chasing you for lol

Ahm .i can’t help u there.but your name is red so better ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!That is all i need

My zerg saw an afk invader in open field. We yelled “WATCH OUT” but he didn’t hear us.

Ive never seen that happin in fact ive seen more offten then not a small part following the commander chase me down and kill me.

ok the 20+ guys dont kill me but 5+ Guys chase after me and killz me.
becouse a problem.

Thumbs up to anyone who has killed you. Although I personally wouldn’t waste my time chasing an obvious scrub.

I find it hilarious when 20 players chase a single player. I’ve seen sieges fail because one player ran by and half our zerg had to give chase.

I really enjoy being that one person as well. Catch me if ya can. I always kill the two or three that remain once most have given up.

Yesterday night before reset. I just wanna complete my daily gathering at wvw at north supply camp. Saw a invader while doing my mining. He /bow and ran pass me.

I thought its a scout so i give him a chase but later on find out he just going for a vista. So i just let him go

I always let scaled up pass me, because i know it would be no proper fight. That is, if they are running solo and not attacking me.
I can’t believe how much people care about bags instead of having some amazing fights. Do you seriously play this game for bags and not fun? And no, totally trampling a 20v1 is not fun at all. You’ll most likely not even get a hit at him before he is dead.

lowbies drop badges, too.

Red = dead. Killing enemy players gives rewards, like badges, salvagables and even items up to exotic quality.

PvP is all about kiling other Players Yet, somehow ANET thought that WvW should have a huge portion of PvE for whatever reason. Now, many PvE players have Problems grasping the concept behind WvW, while pursuing their PvE goals. This opens Problems for both sides however, especially on maps with player limits. The PvP crowd are urging to get a capable army together with likeminded players, while a certain amount of PvE players are pursuing their own goals.

If you end up getting killed, while on your achievement hunting activities, cheer up – it doesn’t matter! GW2 is one of the most forgiving (PvP) games, it’s practically the opposite of hardcore. On death, you lose practically nothing but a negligible amount of coins and little time, since the next waypoint is never far away. It may even add some excitement to your time catching butterflies in WvW!

Because it’s a PvP area?

Because it’s hilarious. They chase you and see you pop your cool downs and desperately try to get away. You get slowed, knocked-down, and you slowly go down. Then, they see you on the ground with your gaping mouth getting auto-attacked to death. There are bits of experience and loots to go around. Sunshine and unicorns for everyone except you. Of course, they don’t neglect do the follow-up searching for your kitten post claiming how hilarious it is that you got brutally ganked.

don’t underestimate the power of scouting… If I see someone close to the zerg I will assume he’s scouting our moves, and so I will want to eliminate him before doing anything, especially if my group isn’t a huge zerg.
