Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure if this topic has ever been covered before and before anyone says it, I know there is no actual GvG game mode at the moment. I’m just curious what rules the gvg guilds have used in the past and if any of these questions below have actual answers.

Is ressing stomped players allowed? I use to think this wasn’t but I’ve seen this done a two or three times in some gvg’s however it was never brought up by either side.
Are players allowed to get out of combat?
Are the gem store buffs allowed like the Strength booster or Rejuvenating booster?
What happens if a player DC’s in the middle of the fight?

please post if you know the answer to any of these questions.

In short – A GvG is a 10v10, 15v15, 20v20 or 25v25 deathmatch.

You are not allowed to res stomped players. If they can be rezed with a warbanner, or hard-rezed from the downed state, it’s okay.

if you’re able to get out of combat without getting ganked by the opposing team’s gank, i dont see why not. unlikely that you’ll be able to do this without totally screwing your team over, but it’s not “against the rules”

you, and your guild will be called little kittenes if you all run gem store buffs. Show some respect to the other team and don’t try to give yourself unfair advantages.

Clear your stacking sigil stacks every round by un-equiping your weapons.

Tough luck if you have players DC, just w/ the driver of the other team. Most guilds are understanding. Same thing applies if spectators do kitten to you, like moa your elementalists, or free-cast meteors on the whole fight. (i’ve seen players from server C do that to GvGing servers A and B ) Most respectable guilds will not count that round against you.

Line up at the end of the GvGs and /bow and brawl (everyone can join the brawl, even you guys in the stands) until everyone is dead.

any other questions?

i didnt know the brawl was an actual thing. had my first last night.

lol it would be funnier if for the brawl everyone just stacked on eachother and dps’d until there was a “last man standing”

nutrition and utility buffs are also commonly used in gvgs, other then that I think Hamster covered it all

Ressing Stomped players is not allowed.
Buffs from Gemstore are not allowed, neither is having stacks from a stacking weapon before the fight starts.
The disconnect things can be an issue and it’s good if the two guilds GvG’ing have set up clearly if they respect disconnects. Generally I would say if you disconnect, that’s your problem. But if it is at the start of the fight, and both guilds agree, you can stop the round.

If you run far enough to get out of combat to get full HP and come back you’re just as pathetic as using gem store buffs.

On breaking combat, be sure to stay within the bounds of the fighting area. stay out of the stands/spectators, can’t use them for cover.

If you’re running out of combat enough to get back to full hp then the enemy pick squad is either dead or absolute trash

If the enemy FP let’s any player run far enough from the clash to get ooc, then they are as pathetic as skyhammer farmers.

Just out of curiosity, what sort of gem store buffs you are referring to? As fas as know (don’t know much, too noob) there’s no boost that help somehow to survive in wvwvw/GvG madness. Only boost that that I found was wvwvw xp bost, but what difference this makes if someone uses xp boost?

The regeneration booster, and the speed booster work on wvw.

Running out of combat.. Reminds me of [IRON] back in the day who ran into the Orchards at the south camp to break combat.

Imo, something that hasn’t been addressed yet but seems to get more popular these days is ‘resetting’ the fights on the stairs (spectator spots in OS). Imo, the only place where the battle can take place is at the flat center area. Hiding behind statues, deep onto the stairs and even into spectators is a very low blow and shouldn’t be happening imo. Ofcourse it damages the opposing guild having such behaviour as it shows mere lack of respect however, it’s been happening more frequent than ever lately.

What is your stance on that?

Ah yes, did not see those. I stand corrected.

<= Grotesque
when in OS the guilds in gvg should not leave the flat round area, thats the rule as far as I know and as soon as one of the guilds runs up the stairs they have cheated and in so-doing lost that round imo; another thing is when they got cc’d out (like banish or something), then its fine, as long as they run back to the battle-area as soon as possible;
regarding the breaking out of combat, if you stay inside the flat part of the OS arena there is no chance you will get out of combat; the only way is to run away further (preferably with stealth) but thats cheating and it is also childish thing to do. you either fight a fair fight and win, or you loose, there is no sense in winning gvg by cheating. its just low that is…
