Guild Wars 2

Everything about that Reddit post is false.

Blackgate was literally never #1 in WvW

Yep, Marstar pretty much hit the nail on the head.

You have more than one official statement on every single thing in your list…

Maybe try the dev tracker?

ironic, but in gw2 the problem is always with guilds…
Guilds cannot queue enough of their people in to make a real force, so they form these halfa$$ zergs (sometime with another guild) and disrupt overall strategy and tactics. They run their own objectives, without communicating with rest of the players for battlefield information, and without giving information to rest of the population so they could obtain support.

This morning in HoD-SBI-JQ game EB, without presence of any guild, we (HoD) were making 10k karma/hour, till (Yes I am going to name these kitten PRX and SYN got maybe 20 people into the game, and decided to attack overlook (JQ keep) without consulting with anyone. 3 wipes and rest of the population went down to 2k/hr.

Seriously, people that don’t understand the timer, and cap everything few seconds after round completion should just delete their chars and stop playing this game, let alone trying to lead…

I find it a bit awkward that you call two of the best WvW guilds on the server bad because they “aren’t farming karma properly in WvW”.

The only thing that will fix HoD is people leaving HoD.

There are tons of titles for WvW already, just check your achievements.

I’d love to see a more in depth ladder system and especially some better armor/weapon rewards. I’m confident that Anet has those on the table though.

Ahhh Ruin! The guild that bandwagoned AA and doubles their numbers and TAs. What’s hilarious is how they transfer off of NSP because there are too many people and than complain how they can’t win because they don’t have enough people. HILARIOUS!

Wait what, elementalists are bad in WvW and 8v8? In what universe?

If that guy is from Henge then I am truly sorry, this is not the mind set of our server and they are by no means representative of how most of us play the game and see sportsmanship.

Mad love to HoD Militia and Virchow and Boda!

So let me get this straight…you spec 100% glass cannon and than complain about getting bursted down? Riiiiiiight.

I have to say that those of us over at HoD absolutely respect the level of game play SBI brings to the table every…single…night. There is no doubt that SBI has improved as a server and has forced HoD to rethink many of our tactics and become better as well.

We happen to be in the one bracket in NA that isn’t a landslide victory. Yes HoD has held the lead all week and widened the gap slightly every day, but we did not do it easily. We had to fight for every inch of ground, every supply camp, tower and keep. I have personally watched SBI grow more and more organized as a server and have no doubt that the time will come when SBI is #1. Mad respect.

I will kill everyone I see in the jumping puzzle. PvP happens in WvW get used to it.

The jumping puzzle in EB was CLEARLY designed for PvP, or else why put in all the PLAYER ACTIVATED TRAPS? This is meant to be a unique PvP experience that has a great reward at the end to draw players in. The only issue I have with the EB jumping puzzle is that it takes up a slot in EB from someone looking to fight in the actual WvW match. EB jumping puzzle should be it’s own instance with it’s own cap that you can enter from Lion’s Arch or something…but only when you have a keep on EB.

Once mortars are up Overlook (Red) is probably the hardest keep to lose. I’d rather be red any day.

I have a level 80 warrior and a level 80 elementalist (I literally have 0 life) and I can honestly say that my warrior has an easier time in PvE…but only because he can stand there and hundred blades and kill multiple mobs before they can kill him.

On my elementalist I can easily take on just as many or more mobs than my warrior but I have to MOVE AROUND, I have to use my abilities to KITE and to keep damage off of me.

This is not a bad thing, this does not make one class better than the other. Some classes are more complicated than others, warriors are the LEAST complicated class to play. Arenanet designed it that way ON PURPOSE.

My answer is 2, no buff needed.

My (personal) theory is that without HoD carrying them SBI wouldn’t even be in the top 3. This is the only way they can stay in the top 3, by being HoD’s… #2.

The only close match has been between HoD/JQ/ET, and as long as HoD keeps SBI in second, HoD won’t ever have to face JQ and ET together again.

TBH, we consider SBI a bigger threat than ET solely because of WM.

I have not been impressed at all with this (fabled) WM, and they were working with you against TL on Red Borderlands. So how big of a threat could they really be when you were working together against us?

I know that many others in my guild do hold them in high regard because of their achievements in GW, I have not personally seen them bring it on any level yet.

I do hope to see this eventually though, I love seeing new tactics.

You ever stop to think that maybe you just lost on Red Borderlands that night?

Or maybe, in reality, it was a three way fight in which you just couldn’t hold your own Garrison. In reality, HoD was holding in the south against SBI as they constantly attacked our tower there. In reality while we were holding south we were also attacking north. In reality SBI was also attacking north, because they couldn’t make any headway south because we were holding them extremely effectively.

Maybe, just MAYBE in the race to take your garrison, in which we wiped you hard with less people (when you mesmer portal in you should probably spread out BTW, all that AoE we dropped on your portal killed most of you while you just stood there looking around aimlessly), we just barely beat SBI in the door. Maybe after capping we than had to defend YOUR garrison against SBI in order to hold it.

But of course, that would be crazy, instead SBI was really just a distraction and after we took your keep they just demurely walked out the door and let us have it without a fight.

I never took what ANet originally said about WvW as “it’s for casuals”. It’s meant to be more casual PvP as in not structured…like structured PvP. You don’t have set teams, classes aren’t 100% balanced and you can’t control every aspect of the game.

That, however, doesn’t make it “casual” it just makes it not structured.
