Guild Wars 2

I am simply going to add my own frustration onto this.

I run Guild raids of 10-15 people, this has got to be one of the most ridiculous updates they have ever instigated.

What on earth is its purpose? To make it near impossible to take any defended keep with a small force. Hell even 4-5 ACs destroys your fighting capability, let alone the 12 they can have, knocking all kinds of 9 hells out of you.

Far from destroying the power of Zergs this is forcing people to zerg up to have any hope in hell of achieving anything.

It has to be the most imbalanced lunatic decision they have made. A game founded upon the supposed ethos of “Guild Wars” and well balanced pvp decides to throw it all away.

For me this just continues to prove that Arenanet (despite being owned by NCsoft) has no idea how to create a persistent open World PvP environment.

Another update forcing people into forts and off the field of battle.

Just to add we do have tier 3 guild bounty and a variety of other guild events unlocked!

What server are you on mate?

I run a medium sized PvX/WvW guild on Piken,

Overview

We are the Helmguard Elite.

Formed in 2005 for Guild Wars 1, we comprise a collection of good friends and MMO veterans.

Having moved to Aion in 2009, some of our members embraced siege warfare and Durray rose to become the elyos siege leader on Telemachus (EU) for 18 months. It was also in Aion we met and became friends with: Afterlife, BOON Control and Vengence of the Fallen (VoTF). Due to this we participated daily in WvW with a variety of guilds, sadly VoTF decided to move to North America, whilst we remain in EU.

We are dedicated to fully exploring every aspect of the game, with a solid PvP/WvW crowd and a more relaxed PvE base comprising the guilds diverse and international (though English speaking) membership. Fractals/AC/CoF runs are a common feature of our day-to-day activity, as well as other dungeons upon request (basically yell for a party and we’ll get our game on). Many of our regular members enjoy the sPvP tournaments as well.

We are currently loving the WvW on Piken Square and fight under our own Commanders – Durray and Yoruichi Shihoun.

Recruitment

Recruits please either use our website http://gw.helmguardelite.com (Make an account and post in the recruitment thread).

or email Durray on: guildleader@helmguardelite.com

We are looking for members from all walks of life, dedicated PvPers to join our WvW alliance and those who want to actively participate in the guild community (including ventrilo, but beware of the Scotsmen ;D).

While being active is preferred, we understand that work, studies, family and real life does impact on game time. We do have a more “casual” component to our guild. Please make it clear in your application if you wish to join as a casual member or more dedicated PvPer.

Enjoyment

This is critical to our guild. No matter how hardcore or serious things may get, we aim to enjoy the game and our great little community that is Helm.

We look forward to seeing you in game.
