Guild Wars 2

Caffynated.5713:

Drama, really nerdy cat fights, and Ostricheggs allegedly stole money donated for the streamers to buy himself silly scimitars. Now nobody wants to stream on the channel, except CMC, and he only streams his face and plays music.

Oh, and the game died.

That’s some Real Housewives of Tyria shizz right there

Wvw is only about Zerging because 98% of the players don’t know how to player vs player. I don’t want a pvp arena…. I want there to be dudes who know what the kitten their doing running around trying to kill me and our group. This is open pvp…. I’m biased but I think Sars in previous posts said it best…. There’s 13 kittening capture points on a map or something like that…. There’s a fight at maybe 2? Or one big one?

You guys just don’t have experience fighting players. I would bet 59-60% of hat 98% are here for the first time. Here meaning in a player vs player environment. Everyone Zergs at some point in their career…. At another point in their career if they are half a whitted person, they move up the ladder….. 98% are still on rung number 1.

Again, that is YOUR ladder and YOUR opinion on what WvW should be. I am at the top rung on my ladder bro. I just don’t feel like climbing your ladder. At least not yet. Plus, I know you cannot really gear yourself properly, but if I wanted small group pvp experience, I would go to the Mists.

Man ppl need to get off this go to the mist statement. Its not the same. Mist is a lot of 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3. It hardly ever is 5v5 cause u need ppl guarding points. I used to do tourneys and this it how it was unless its changed in the last 2 months which I doubt.

And the same point can be made that WvW is not the proper place for 5v5. It is rarely 5v5 because u need ppl taking points.

Neither are what you are looking for, really.

Clearly you haven’t played any other open world pvp games. Case and point… If there was no Aoe cap in this game…. Zergs would exist for 10 minutes before being wiped by a group of guys who know what their doing. That tied in with downed state only being able to res others only when out of combat…. Those two things alone with = bye bye “this is how you wvw”

Clearly I haven’t but that has nothing to do with this.

This isn’t any other open world pvp game. This is GW2 and is different than other open world pvp games. Why do you keep insisting that everyone else needs to adjust to your play style? This isn’t daoc or whatever other game you are so in love with. This is GW2 and this is WvWvW, with WvWvW scoring and rules.

Which brings up the most unsatisfying fact of them all…. Of the hundreds of people in each tier logging in to wvw…. We can count the groups of them that want to FIGHT OTHER players and use their character builds testing what works best and what doesn’t on one hand. It’s an impossible shame.

yeah this is not what i was expecting at all! I was really hoping for something like the old DAoC herald stats…

To the SF thief, black human male, that shadow stepped around our BL tonight. Maybe try and stand and fight me eh? Let’s see that skill your server always boasts about, cause all I’m getting when I find one of you alone is that you’ve all practiced hard in the art of running away. ~

Punch.4231:

Very sorry to PAXA for not fighting you on the terms that suit you best. Please accept my deepest apologies. We will form several small super-tanky voicechat-coordinated focus-firing roaming groups and then PM you their positions around the maps (away from cap points because who cares about those anyway amirite?) See you guys out there!

If only there were some way for 5man groups to compete on an even playing field without interference. Hmmm, no. Nothing coming to mind.

Punchy punch I ran 8 man in Daoc for 3 years straight, the same guys. Anyone from pvp open world backgrounds knows that no open world fights go uninterrupted. We don’t PM teams to meet us anywhere. Half of the fun is the hunt and positioning yourself on the map correctly to have advantages.

I think having received no answers other than [seed] which openly admits to frequently joining the Zerg there is no other form of open world pvp for SF than Zerg balling. In which case no credit will be given for anything you guys accomplish because as a number of my colleagues in this thread have pointed out population “is winning” for SF.

This is funny. The reason I know you don’t get where I’m coming from is because the first thing you did was give me a scoreboard update. I never once asked and actually explained non of PAXA care about the score. Thank you for answering you spent 4 months doing the exact same thing everyday to finally move up a tier…. To guess what? Do the exact same thing. 4 months in which I’m sure you had fun but by Anets (and your own apparently) standards gained you nothing but forum bragging. Point is dude Zerging should not be the ONLY form an entire server’s pvp team uses. Like I said earlier I get new players want to have backup close by and to work together. Please name 3-5 small man guilds that run primetime? Can you do that? And running 15 is not small man. To be specific, run 10 or less and look for fights and not ONLY points? Can you do that?

[Seed] runs a 3-5 man team most of the time during primetime and up to 10-15 during scheduled event, though we do join/command zergs when they are useful for the situation. There’s no point in avoiding zergs when your server is siegeing Stonemist.

And YES we do cap zergs with 10+ people because that’s how you make sure you have enough supply to siege towers, keeps and castles. Wether you like it or not and wether you think it’s skill or not, SF is really good to group up on certain BLs when called upon. We group up fast and cap fast because we know how to do it.

When you ask: ’’What’s the point of capping something to loose it half an hour later?" I answer: “How’d you feel loosing that waypoint in your garrison?” You seem to be trolling just for the fun of trolling. I still have yet to be outskilled in WvW, be it 1v1s 2v1s 5v5s, etc.

It isn’t fun trying to explain a different culture’s perspective all day.
That culture being small mans out for kills and building congruent teams that are tough as nails to take down and take focus/coordination/awareness to stand a chance against.

That being said you named one guild that sounds like more often than not joins the Zerg to “help the server”. Please name 3-5 guild small mans that are out competing for something other than joining the Zerg eventually and the scoreboard.

Those PAXA guys r not joke… Ran with them the other night and we all got to talking about daoc and found we had fought against another for years and never knew it. The old daoc players r much nastier than the Gw2 crowd…

Hehehehe. We have discovered the weakness of ANet and used it. Now eat SF’s wrath.

You do realize, of course, that NSP and HoD are going to destroy (and I mean mercilously eradicate) SF if they did manage to whine their way into T7 right? I mean the blood shed is going to be on a biblical proportion.

It’s been my pleasure and honor to compete against these two servers. And quite frankly…SF is just not up to it.

I’ll wager by EOD Saturday we’ll have the SF forum jockeys complaining about being double teamed, being out-manned, siting server population and crying various forms of foul about why the point spread is so off.

So, if it does actually happen: I encourage HoD and NSP to welcome SF to tier 7 with a hard and bloody lesson on the unintended consequences of actions. Let slip the dogs of war.

What will happen if SF is bumped up because of an artificial ratings increase (whether deserved or not):

HoD and NSP will initially “welcome” SF due to SF’s forum warriors proclaiming their superiority over all of t7 already.

ET and FC will initially “welcome” GoM to prove that t8 can hold their own against a t7 server. (And probably see an increase in activity just due to the holycrapnotSF factor)

No more than 12 hours into each match, the regular doubleteaming begins to rotate, with many complaints to the forums about who is ganging up on who.

Guys this is getting a little out of hand. Let’s keep some things in mind shall we?

A) This is just a game. How WvW goes is not going to help you get the girl, not going to get you a job, not going to feed your families. It’s ridiculous to take this so seriously. Just have fun yes?

B) Any one side is going to be double teamed. What do you expect? Everyone to attack the server to their left and just go in a circle? Grow up a bit please. I’m always on BL defense and I can list the times we’ve had to defend against breakouts from both opposing servers. It sucks, but it happens.

I haven’t been on so far this week, nor was I on much last week, but I do keep up to date on what goes on at least on our end. I can state with moderate certainty that it was not a planned “double team” on NSP. I logged in for a bit to try out the new no culling patch and we were defending a tower from GoM, so apparently those two zergs didn’t know about this team-up.

Life is a lot more fun when you stop trying to see the evil in everything and everyone.

Bllade.1029:

Hello HoD! Just transferred from Darkhaven to you guys and look forward to fighting for you in some competitive WvW!

For anyone who cares, I brought [ApeX] a smaller guild more focused on squad composition and tactics rather than zerging. See you on the field!

[ApeX]

Welcome to HoD ~ I don’t know if I remember seeing ApeX back when we faced DH, but regardless it’s wonderful to have you. You’ll see me running around generally being optimistic and fabulous, and if you want to be fabulous as well just ask. It’s the fun way to do things.

0/10 I see no effort into this.

Vekthor.8914:

… why is she naked?

Because video games.

So i’ve been on Fort Aspenwood for awhile now, and i really enjoy WVW…but it’s been almost impossible to get a new guild off the ground there. My friend’s are scattered across half a dozen servers but even all together it’s still only about 8 people.

We had been looking into paying to transfer a couple people to FA since it has such an active WVW community but..again, trying to make a new guild there has been an exercise in frustration.

If i do decide to transfer, which server would be the most..wvw friendly?

No we will all transfer over. Guesting is still available so we can go back to PvE. Our guild members does not care at all about any bonuses.

We run a tight shift of WvW time and also we do use any of our banners to recruit people. We WvW do our job and then have fun. Nothing more. Members who do not agree is welcome to leave our guild anytime.
