Guild Wars 2

Even if it’s not officially in the lore…GvG and HA were the only real reasons to play gw1, which to be honest has been the best and most competitive sPvP I have seen besides League/DoTa and definitely topped the charts in skill/competition out of any MMO, easily. GvG was the face of gw1, arenanet used to set that stuff up brilliantly with good maps/mechanics and $100k tournaments etc.
Now we know that arenanet still plans to do that tourney stuff (see new update) but they are still using bland cap point maps. I’d love to see more map models like foefire be built and used for separate gametypes GvG, and for the LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY PUT HEROES ASCENT INTO GW2

I know posts like these are probably a dime a dozen, I will do my best to keep this one interesting.

I played have played guildwars as well as guildwars 2 since beta and I’m sure I am not alone in asking for abit more in the PVP department. If I didn’t know better I would accuse arenanet as a company of throwing not only the pvp community, but the PVP devs as well in favor of the young and ‘eager to use their mothers credit cards at the gem store’ PVE community. I have talked to MANY of my old friends who enjoyed guildwars 1 and there is a unanimous idea that they would all pay $100+ for an expansion that included the addition of some guildwars1 classes along with…you know, the whole idea behind the entire f***ing game… GVG. The omission of GvG and Heroes Ascent in guildwars 2 is pretty embarrassing, plus replacing it with a 5v5 cap point that rotates around some, albeit good maps. The same cap mode isn’t really good for esports, which I am surprised arenanet isn’t trying to exploit by dumping resources into. The Esports scene is only getting bigger, and the payout comes along with that. League of Legends has the most logged gametime out of any game IN THE WORLD, and it’s not by a small margin either. As far as profit goes, Tencent, the owner of RIOT games is the 5th largest internet company IN THE WORLD falling only just behind companies like google and amazon.

So as an older player and PvP fanatic, I want any kind of information on why there is no GvG/HA in this game and why it’s not being worked on. (Yeah remember the Korean gw1 teams, wonder why they aren’t in gw2?) Or at the very least, why has there been 1 “meh” gamemode that appeals to casuals and really has no incentive to play well on? You get rewards either way when you play, you can technically afk macro your way to all the rewards (I’ve seen people doing this)

So do us a favor before you lose the 5 people who play sPvP and throw us a bone (preferably a bone in the form of GvG…you know…the thing your game is named for?)

If anybody wants to help and/or knows of a server that has it open atm, I would appreciate it. -Sea of Sorrows

Type: WvW/sPvP

Contact: High lander

Mission statement: Providing the WvW battlefront with small ops groups that break away from main groups and have smaller, more focused targets. The goal is to capture objectives with the greatest speed and the smallest numbers. This can be accomplished by group coordination and skill.

Current server: Henge of Denravi (subject to change)

Recruitment status: Open

Requirements: Ventrillo/TS+mic (or at least headphones/speakers)

Info: Currently a small WvW focus guild which is formed as a sister guild to Desolation Lords[DE] which has shown little interest on the WvW front. Looking for fairly active members to represent often and form up small groups of 5-10 players on a day-to-day basis. Groups will acquire strategy and skill to bring a new flavor to WvW and keep matches a little more exciting. Team synergy builds will be researched and different groups of players that require some users to have multiple characters will be needed to form a successful splinter group.

Contact High Lander in-game for more info, questions via mail are acceptable.

Known issues: small membership leading to a shortage of influence. Inability to queue into WvW or long queues is a current issue.
