Guild Wars 2

I like the zergs. I play WvW because of the large scale action, from big kitten open field fights to protracted seiges etc. I dont care if the zerg is 15v 15 or 100vs 100, I find it can be a lot of fun. I also run more then 50% of the time in a small guild group (3-7 players normally) and like the small hit and run attacks on towers camps etc.

Over all however I like the large battles. Many reasons. True, I am not a good 1v1 never have been, never will be. our small guild is quite a mixture of player types but WvW allow us to run together and allow us less “skilled” players to have some fun and contribute. If it was harcore or scenario type PvP a majority of our guild would not bother

A lot of the zerg issues I think depend on what tier you are in. I have been stuck in T3 for the last month (yaks bend). Here is where the numbers become an issue. NA prime time we can run either zerg or small group and have fun. The rest of the time we are so badly out numbered there is no option so everyone resorts to blaming zergs.

The present Wxp train zergs have ruined the fun a bit but I think that will die down. I have faith that Anet will add larger maps, more objectives etc. so Maps have multiple smaller zergs vs the 1 giant zerg we see right now. Overall though I remain a fan of the large battles and it is why I WvW. If i really wanted to show my 1v1 skill or 5 man elite squard I would do Spvp
Long live the zerg (dont run me over)

The thing is though, you could have a situation where both the zerg AND the smaller groups are contributing. It would make for a much more dynamic game where everyone can do something they feel is fun and still pull their own weight on the server.

Unfortunately with Arena Net’s design decisions it seems we are heading away from that.

I just needed to quote the second paragraph for emphasis. No further response.

As Gab said, why cant we have both. As is it small groups as so discouraged to the point where most maps consist of one giant zergball going from objective to objective. You can encourage people to leave the zerg without forcing them to.

Roaming WvW is closer to pure PvP than sPvP. I wish people would stop with that silly comment. sPvP is objective-based PvP. Roaming WvW is all about living or dying. That is pure PvP.

Also:

I like big zergs and I can not lie
You other zergers can’t deny

The problem people have with this current system is.. it doesn’t reward skill. I agree; you still deserve to have fun as a casual players; that’s why zergs are importants, but shouldn’t people who dedicate more to the game be rewarded more?
