Guild Wars 2

This is exactly what I am looking for – see this post: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/community/lookingfor/New-Casual-Player-LF-PvX-Guild-Blackgate/first#post5110156

I’ll ping you in game later today.

Hi everyone,

I’ve finally found a class I truly enjoy playing in this game: Necromancer. I’ve tried just about every other class to level 30, but nothing has got me as excited as playing the Necro, as it reminds me of my days playing a Death Knight in WoW, and a Shadow Knight in EQ1.

With that in mind, I’m looking to join a decent sized active guild on Blackgate that has enough people that can:

- Answer newb questions
- Run some PvE with me (Fractals?)
- Advertise world-content/bosses (I love that stuff)
- Do some sPvP and WvW with me as well.

I play in the evenings/weekends (US-EST).

I spent a solid chunk of time this weekend PvP’ing with ever class and some recommended builds that I found on intothemists.com. I freakin’ fell in love with the warrior. I’ve never loved Pure melee classes, but my god, it was so much fun ROFLstomping

I have quite a bit to learn with the mechanics, but I am enjoying it thus far. Thanks again to everyone who commented here – much obliged!

Jesus, Chromosome, thanks for hijacking my thread and adding nothing useful to it. For the rest of you – thank you for your private messages and public replies. I will be giving this game another chance!

WvW is large scale conquest any attitude/ play you find here you will find there on a larger scale. Up to you if you like it brah.

Meh, well I despise Conquest in Rift, which is one of the reasons I decided to leave Rift. In Rift, you have to participate in conquest to get high-end PvP gear, and I don’t want to have to work on a game in my free time.

I think I’ll just avoid it and straight-up PvP, like I did in GW1. Man I miss RA and TA – that’s what got me on the PvP kick to begin with!

Yes and no depends on time of day. Fill it in with hotjoin.
- EU is better than NA for players it seems.
- Yup but they arr small and getting smaller. Since you are interested in WvW look for a WvW guild that dabbles in Spvp and youll be fine.
- You can gear up via WvW but its not instant like PvP. You get scales up to make it easier but there will still be a difference thats felt when you operate as an individual. Run with a herd and its negligible.

Other info?
Persevere when kitten gets hard. Class balance in about two weeks.
Spvp is sort of restructuring itself.
Oh and once you get in stay away from the forums unless you are quitting. Place is pessimistic and slighly toxic but we all love a good “I quit” story if you’ve got one.

I’m not exactly interested in WvW, but I figured I’d give it a try as it has a PvP aspect to it!

I’m glad to hear there’s some game balancing happening in PvP. I just came from Rift, PvP seems to be an afterthought at this point.

Thank you all for the responses! That is quite sad to hear that sPvP isn’t alive and kicking. I’ll checkout the L.F.T. forum to get a glimpse of what’s going on.

Hey guys,

I’m an ex-WoW (Frost Death Knight PvP) and ex-Rifter (Markman Rogue PvP). Though I love battlegrounds and warfronts dearly, I no longer have time for the gear grind to stay competitive in those games. I remember from the couple weeks I played GW2 (December 2012) that PvP has no gear requirement, as everyone has the same advantage. This sounds perfect to me right now. Hell, I’ve always wanted an MMO PvP that was based purely on skill and ones knowledge of the arena and class.

My questions are as follows:
- Are queues long for quick random sPvP matches?
- Are there a lot of people who still PvP?
- Are there guilds who solely PvP in North America?
- Hypothetically, If I never PvE (outside of getting some weapons), can I participate in WvW and get my gear/stats bolstered to be on the same playing ground?

Is there anything else I should know?

Thank you!
