Guild Wars 2

Years ago, a list like this would be relevant, but now the experienced players have pooled into 1-3 guilds and that pool will probably become smaller with time.

Atm, imo, the best guilds are kek or borp and then when those guilds break apart, it’ll be whichever guild those same players have gone into. It used to be a huge list and a very spread out list when this game was actually alive, but at this point it’s the same names under a different guild.

Maybe those guilds will continue to stockpile the more experienced players and run 25 – 30 deep gvg veterans. Why not? You can’t fault people for playing with their friends. Everyone likes steamrolling. ..Maybe they’ll break apart into smaller guilds and try to train new people… who knows, but I don’t see the competitive scene reviving itself anytime soon. Not the way things are going, and it’s pretty hard to pick up pugs and try to build a core with them. Combine that with how badly everyone memes on guilds trying to build… not many make it.

Also, the “rest” of our guilds all have footage of us dumpstering each other at one point in time. It’s pretty hard to tell at this point who is the better guild. Maybe over the course of the year certain guilds happened to come out on top more often than not? Everyone here has had a kitten day or two. I’m not sure what the litmus test is, but if this is a purely open field guide then I know for a fact I’ve killed almost everyone on this list at one point or another and have been killed by most at least once. It’s pretty much impossible to get an objective view at this point.

All that being said, VII has always been fun fights. As have the rest of you. All we can really do now is go down with the ship as we get 1 new thing added to WvW every 4-6 months in the hopes that we all stay interested enough to keep playing.

TLDR: Same kitten different day.

jul… xxx Julian xxx, you got kicked 5 months ago. let it go.

Hey, I’m the leader of BoRP. I think you have a very unclear view of what kind of guild we are, what we’ve done, and who we are. In our roster we have about six people out of 28 that anybody would consider ‘old GvG veterans.’ Almost all of us are competitively-minded players from different parts of the game that came together with a positive attitude and a willingness to improve. We’ve trained from scratch about 90% of our current roster and continue to accept players from every part of the game that have a decent mechanical level and a good attitude. One of the best players in our guild came from TORK.

A competitive game mode needs people at a high level and people at a mid level. A lot of people have this misconception that every top guild needs to disband for there to be a viable scene; but the truth is that if that happens then there’s nobody to drive progression. The GvGs and open field fights BoRP had against KEK throughout HoT pushed both guild’s members as both players and theory crafters, leading to a much more refined meta in NA.

I’ve gotten pretty tired of uninformed people saying this repeatedly and have felt like it invalidates all the hard work my guild members have put in for the last year, so I apologize if my post comes off as aggressive.

Much love my dude

No cones for Firebrand tome autos and mantras please

I know you wanted to make them ‘feel different’ from mesmer mantras, but its just completely awkward in pvp and wvw; especially the elite mantra where you just have to hope to get stunned facing your allies for cast to be effective? And the cones just dont hit stuff 90% of the time on slight slopes. Please change to PBAoe

Weaver – very fun, very undertuned

Please, you don’t need to hook up a week to week drip feed for those who play WvW

We’re not here to milk the rewards, we’re playing the mode for fun

Please keep it

Finally the only mistake in favor of WvW rewards ever, activity is high even in lower tiers which is awesome

There’s already massive gold sinks to the legendary armor in wvw, the skins aren’t anything special so there’s no reason to have a time cap as well

If the point is to not make conflicting choices for strength why would you move the hammer trait to the same spot as Berserker’s power? You fixed having axe there but now you trashed hammer for it? Why?

Now hammer is the only weapon that can’t take its specific trait + Berserker’s power

Sweet, another change that nobody was asking for

Ulion.5476:

Did you play in the 3 wvw tournaments? Players were reward with tickets that a lot of wvwers were not able to spend all of them. Wvwer have been asking A-net to make them useful now they are.

I played in all 3 tournaments

These tickets sat unused for years and years and there was no reason to hold onto them at all. Them being made useful again is kinda silly

Some people are going to get their backpieces like a whole month before others due to timegates, for absolutely no reason

how is this fair?

Don’t lower the requirements please

You guys are out of your minds if you think DH/burn guard/trapper thief are anywhere near as broken as deathly chill right now. It’s only barely catching on in t1, it will be more unbearable than the day leg specialist had its ICD removed if this is not reverted. And necro is already the most powerful class in blob fights already, sans this trait.

We all know there’s other overarching issues with these classes and traits mentioned, but this is going to get out of control so fast.

And why did this get moved to necro forums? Necro is still trash tier dps in raids with only 1 gimmick utility (epidemic). This is a wvw-primary issue

Reapers are out of control right now (even more than they already were)

3 bleed stacks per chill = press all your shouts and get instant 30 aoe bleeds. Every fight is stack reapers and instakill eachother and try to win rally wars. It’s not fun at all

If you even read this forum, please nerf back to 1 (and make corrupts not random while you’re at it! thanks!)

I would like some clarity on this; the wiki states one stack of penalty lasts 60 seconds, however upon testing with friends we are finding no penalty happening at all in WvW, sPvP, and PvE. Multiple downs in under a minute are adding no penalty. Is this working as intended and the wiki is incorrect or is something else wrong?

Why do these siege/defense friendly additions keep getting considered?

Until scoring and points are overhauled, NOTHING MATTERS in terms of defending ability

Not even to mention that more siege will just turn more people off from playing; nobody wants to stand in even more red circles. This game mode has needed more incentive for people fight, not more incentive to sit inside towers on siege holy crap

While bullets 3/4 are nice it still does not fix the core issue of large zergs having a critical amount of crowd control abilities so the smaller groups can even get to them. If you can’t get to your enemy without being cc’d 50 times then rallies/ ppk dont matter

all points are great additions imo, but there needs to be more

You realize there’s a ring-out barrier to unlock?

Echo fps concerns in gilded hollow

Size is fine maybe 300 more radius at most, ‘initial positioning’ was always stupid and pointless

Vengeful hammers on jalis stance will activate properly and then just cancel for no reason , no idea what’s causing it or force reproduction

gvg footage if you’re interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evcKsbrRJ5o

Jalis/Glint driver pov

About 75%-80% of the time i use this skill it will just send me in a random direction different to where i’m running

I have checked and double checked auto-target, i’m absolutely sure it’s off

Even times I use it where there are literally no enemies (home cities) it will still go in random directions like it is auto targeting something

Here’s quick video i took to show it in action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGuqsKm2xZQ

See title, pls fix

Here to support this

I’ve put lots of work in this community and would love to see some more support

Ogre.3124:

FUN was adding at least four people to Hymn when we scrimmed against them. The trolling is getting worse

There’s no way we would add any to those dudes LOL get your info straight

Yeah I never login to these forums anymore but please for the love of god at least say you’re aware of this server lag in WvW, it’s absolutely unbearable right now

Had some good fights with ETA this weekend! These guys are definitely worth battling

Enjoy some DPS action

We are still holding spots for exceptional guardians/warriors. Let me know if you have any questions

Edited into OP, we have a few spots for guardian/warrior (2 each) open right now.

Have a video of our latest GvG! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ud-7goYbQ-0&noredirect=1

Hey Maguuma can offer you all of these things you’re looking for;

1. Strong EU presence. With any sort of commander we can have an on-demand karma train that can queue a map. Also several dedicated players in this timezone to upgrade home BL
2. Plenty of commanders willing to spread the love (but not too many in sea/ocx time)
3. Historically the smallest ocx/sea presence of the highest tiers. We used to have 1 regular commander in this timezone but he has left the game long ago
4. Floating between t3-t2 at the current moment

Getting some off-hours love would go a long way toward balancing maguuma’s coverage!

400 supply every 3+ hours will make absolutely no change to matchups

Retaliation deals normal pre-nerf damage, causing gigantic damage spikes if you cast any sort of aoe. Is this intentional?

I really have no intention on playing this map if i’m going to get blown up by blobs and not deal any damage because of such high retaliation damage

Ask someone on your server who GvGs for their contacts and i’m sure they’ll be happy to share you some names to contact for GvGs

Chris.3290:

GH is a well-respected guild from anyone who’s ever played on or against Ehmry Bay. Kinda hard to slip under the radar there.

GH is amongst the biggest tower/siege huggers of a guild i’ve ever seen why would you say this

Bumping with a few videos, also we are currently opening applications for a few GUARDIANS

Natronix.9827:

I’m jealous. I want to GvG more :c

Then you shouldn’t refuse a GvG when you’re asked like last week!

GarnetArmy.1023:

Dont bother. VR wrecks GvGs.

aaaaaahahahahaha and this is coming from an ex-BT member??

VR is a legit bunch of dudes, if you like fat deeps eles and fighting hammer blobs then you’ll like these guys

Necros are just going to screw you over 1v1, there’s not a whole lot you can do about it besides switching to a PoV triple shout with soldier runes (and maybe traited purging flames) , but that sacrifices everything the build goes for.

Your stats look fine, try posting videos for feedback, your play is probably the issue

Also what sigils are you using, if it’s anything but energy then that is bad

Bumping for these guys, always reliable players and very helpful for the server!

Not as hard as we hit your guilds, don’t be mad.

You continue to make claims without proof. Shall we have a 3v3?

Meow are having a holiday right now. After new year’s, you’re more than welcome to stay up till our timezone for a GvG, like Ark and the other full bunker guilds did before the leagues.

Fiora?

I remember you, you asked me if our guild would be able to stay up until 4am Central US several times if we could “even just get 10 online”. I can say firmly that the maximum numbers of people that will ever log on in those wee hours would barely even reach 3 people (and that’s 33% due to having one european on our roster)

The only “NA” guild that actually pulled even half-kittened formal hours during late late hours would have been sleep-deprived VR; I don’t even recall KH doing work for us pre-league times

I can also safely guarantee maguuma does not even have 40 players in WvW in your timezone, maybe it’s an illusion because we are able to map a 15-man force across waypointed maps due to our strong NA until all of our fortified stuff inevitably falls to every oceanic pvdoor crew ever.

tl;dr: Burden of proof is yours, so stop wasting our time with your delusions of grandeur

Can’t sink our battleship in bay!

Ahh, wake up to 65 ppt, and no fairweathers in a mile’s sight

This i can deal with much better

Good fights on mag tonight

Can we have this matchup again when i’m back from Xmas break please

Got some sweet jumping puzzle zerging action tonight, holy moley was that a hilarious chase

Nobody dueling? I need some more distractions from writing my papers

HippoLogic.2519:

[Ark] and [aZn] were running together

We passed eachother once or twice moving up a switchback, if that counts for you then ok. And i’m fairly certain pyro and TG don’t try to hold eachother’s hands too, pretty much every mag guild hates blobbing fights with another guild, we’ve all got too much pride for that

Fights are 1000x better in NA time when towers/keeps are all paperized by the EU timeslot

Come duel in the sanctum!

Please?

I won’t mind the occasional distraction while I study for finals
(Ok, I will if you’re a PU condi mesmer who’s just going to waste time q.q)

How are your dolyaks doing in your home bl Yak’s?

And i think that’s a good note to end the night on!

Mag oceanic best oceanic

Qxan.8491:

whoever plays better overall..wins…

I really hope you don’t think this way

It’s fine, we face stuff like this often (I don’t think i managed to get all of the dudes in the horizon of the picture and in camp)

http://i.imgur.com/g3Wdd8d.jpg

I guess we’re just tired of everyone running from us at the end of last week, maybe goading you guys into fights won’t work

Cross lanes again SBI

I dare you
