Guild Wars 2

Sup guys! To celebrate the opening of our EU-branch custom arena, I was hoping to try out a weird-but-fun little game. This may fly, or may not work at all but.. eff it, here’s the pitch!:

The Tower of Ego

Who’s the best Mesmer out there!? The game is simple; by participating, you get a number. The numbers start off in no specific order, but denote skill/rank among your Mesmer peer. Of course at first this list will be wildly inaccurate, but the catch is that you’re free to challenge anyone to a best 3 out of 5 duel to try to obtain a higher ranking.

( Example: 10 people are participating, and of the ten I’m number 7. If I feel I’m really atleast 3, I challenge whoever is #3 to the best of five duel for his rank. If I win get bumped to 2, and everyone else gets bumped down one)

RULES

• State rank with the build you play, you may also state up to two alternative utilities you may switch to inbetween matches.

• For the sake of fairness, only Mass Invisibility will be the allowed elite.

• If you lose a match, you may not challenge that rank again until your current rank had increased.

• Both players must agree to the challenge and post the results in the thread.

• This is just for fun! No salt or overcomplicating things please. =[

All Mesmers who are reading this, I wish to urge you all to participate! If we could have enough people for even a top 100 mesmers EU and NA it would be awesome. Plus, now we have a long list of people that scrubs(such as myself) can go to begging for coaching etc.

Bravo Chaos Archangel, Bravo!

Can you put (Kentigem) next to my name. It may get confusing otherwise. Daniel Handler is my account name but I don’t use it anywhere in game.

Love the sound of this, definitely sign me up (EU). Quick questions, do I have to post the build I’d use here? And are any builds banned?

Edit: Awww yeah officially 3rd best mesmer EU! Can’t see this lasting too long….

I used to be alright, but I don’t really play the game anymore, Just jumped over here to have a look at the new patch notes to see if there was anything interesting in there.

Sounds like a good idea though, seems like a lot of fun.

I’m in, though for the top 100. Won’t be good enough for top 10 unless people decide not to join in.

sounds like fun, I’m in! Sign me up for the EU rankings.

Im all for this, however id like to understand all the new builds we can use now first, which will require some testing if anyone wants to help me (basically dueling me constantly)

Also, I love how my name is the first person you thought of Chaos, how nice of you <3

Sounds fun! Sign me up with my mesmer’s name (Isis).

I challenge aeo! As soon as the patches changes settle out tho.

The duels for this need some sort of parameters? Perhaps a witness from OMFG? Magical giant.8650 is a guildy of mine, I beat him in pvp recently, does that mean I’m number one? Also does build have to be constant?

lol all builds allowed?

Oh, I am going to plummet down the list but at least I will learn. I should be available 17:00-22:00 UTC during weekends and 02:00-04:00 UTC during weekdays barring RL events

Recordings would be nice, is there some good free program anybody would recommend?

This seems like a great idea. Sign me up as well for the NA ranking, my ign ( Image image)

Where is mime? and stunningstyles? wut. Anyway I don’t consider myself among the top 10 but if no one else is going to put there name on it, I might as well get my 15 minutes before someone knocks me off :> throw me on there!

Where is me on that list….

Stunning styles LOL. He doesn’t even main a class it seems…. maybe guardian idk. Mime and me should be tied for first

1v1 dueling on the only dueling class to see who is the best at only dueling…

not terribly interesting but might as well sign up anyway so i have something to do when i do sign in.

I don’t main just 1 build tho.

Updated! Been sick recently (and on Destiny), so haven’t been in-game much. To answer some questions:

@Blackdevil: The idea is to use your “main” build. I’m still undecided as to whether we should split into brackets, keeping Condi builds fighting condi and power vs power. What do ya think?

@Daniel: Either a witness or if both of you cosign to your win. The duels are best of 5.

@Swish: Why’ve you been so sour lately? =[ It’s not just for dueling, it’s also an opportunity to see face different builds/styles and learn some new things.

I would be happy to switch places with you on the list.

I’m nowhere near as good as where Chaos put me, though it’s not really about ranking. I think it’s just supposed to be a starting point where things are very much expected to shift/shake up quickly.

You could add me on the EU list, but please use my character´s name Xaverí.

That doesn’t make him not good, kid shreds in the KotH servers all the time.

Im bored, anyone up for a challenge? Even just for fun

I’m US, by the way…

So me and Vin were talking tonight, what say ye if we proposed an event for us to all get together and test our might? :>

‘EU-branch custom arena’-Can you elaborate on this please?
