Guild Wars 2

I know this is really neither here nor there, but up until today I can’t say I truly enjoyed WvW. Oh sure, I’d do it, go with the zergs take a keep, defend it, etc etc. I’d get my 50 kills for the month and then not likely go back again.

This time, that’s what I intended to do. I went in with my fave toon to get my 50 and actually really got into things. The drama of pushing at a keep so hard you could taste it and then having to defend that hard won fight not more than 2 minutes later.

HOWEVER, I truly found my joy when I went into the EB jumping puzzle just to get the Rich Ori node, and sidetreked to find the log / spike / flame trap chain. For about 6 hours straight I just knocked people off that walkway, spiked ‘em and lit ’em on fire. I learned that Mesmers can still pull me from there, I learned that Eles think they can try to attack you from there (And even can do dmg if you’re dumb enough to just stand there). I learned that I can really bring the two enemy teams together when they’re forced to team up just to get past the traps..(even funnier when a group of one would get by and then turn around and turn on the others).

Honestly tho, I know I didn’t really get any kills (I got about maybe 20) and only a VERY limited number of badges. Still, I enjoyed myself thouroghly. I got my butt kicked by people who made it by that’s for sure, and yes people did make it by. I’m no Jedi, just a guy swinging logs. Still I kept coming back in and swinging those tree trunks and kitten near belly laughed everytime I’d send some poor schmuck back down to try try again.

OH, and to that one SoS Charr Ranger, your persistence was awe inspiring, but it did make me specifically go for you for that full hour. I hope you got up there eventually.

JP is not truly WvW. It is small scale pk fests. Nothing wrong with it except either a server needs people in the JP to help with Towers or a server is full and JP people are blocking queue lines.

I know you’ll say l2p to me but as a late comer to WvW I only found the EB JP yesterday afternoon and spent the next 3+ hours being camped by 10 or more cowards (like you Gurpsmeister) in the black room and arena areas.

The funny thing is these same guys all ran past me in the early parts of the JP which made me think, “Hey, everyone here is really nice, no fighting, everyone just going for the end chest!” But I think they did this to only kill me over and over again later on and dance on my corpse.

I would love aNet to put a practice (no reward) JP for those who find it hard enough to traverse the jumps so they can learn without being sniped by siege weapons. I know everyone is subjected to this griefing at some point but it really takes the fun out of a game you are still learning.

jp is not wvw -_-. that being said i don’t have a problem with people doing them as it is part of the game. i ask only 3 things.

1. try to do it in non peak hrs
2. once u do the jp leave so other people can get in the borderlands
3. i know u like to do stuff with ur guild but it is really annoying to have 40 people in the jp when u r getting destroyed because of a que and the wvw players can’t get in can’t get in so please don’t do it all to once

wow, 6hours? really? i mean when i first found the log trap granted i stayed tehre for 30mins-1hour but it eventually got boring and i personally just felt bad, and vowed never to go to that trap ever again. It’s the devil!
