Guild Wars 2

I spvp more than wvw (mostlly hotjoin/soloqueu). When I go to wvw there is always someone saying that “skill” is the only thing that matters and how they can beat higher numbers ( 99% unorganized group of pugs).

SO HERE IS THE CHALLENGE: go play spvp team queue with 3 players and see what is going to be your victory %.

With a ratio of 3 to 5 the enemy has less than twice your numbers. By the “skill is everything” and “numbers are not important” statements you should have no problem to win. After losing all or almost all the matches one will probably come to the conclusion that numbers are important and you cant win stuff with much less numbers without having one of the next:

a) very unorganized enemy:

Enemy that only care about staying alive and will leave the zerg at any signal of danger for them, upscale, people that just want the exp or achievements, etc…

b)gear/build comp advantage :

You see that on hotjoins when people are running builds that are so bad that you can kill 2 or 3 if you are running the meta builds

final note:
=>not saying skill is useless just stating that numbers do really matter.

=>after tornado/lich form exploit fixes in 2 weeks numbers will be even more important

=> to get in a team queue 3v5 just get 5 players and make 2 stay at your base

I think u are missing the concept here….
Tpvp = personal skill
WvW (GvG) = Team play

I for one am a WvW player, but me and my guild buddies often visit Tpvp to improve personal skills, and while we are at it, use WvW builds to do so which puts us at a HUGE disadvantage. We do this because it lets us understand the class better so we know exactly where the next spike damage will go, or where to stack for heals and condi removals when we return to WvW.

That being said, using those Tpvp builds in WvW is the same thing, it is a HUGE disadvantage, and although your personal skill is better than your average WvWer, your team play is by far the opposite.

Infact, many fights i have in Tpvp often turn into something where we lose the match, but we consistently manage to wipe the enemy without us actually getting downed.

Now, understand, the previous point proves the difference in the in the two game modes. Where WvW players excel in team cohesion and composition to wipe enemy teams, they have a lower personal skill level due to not having to stand in a circle capping alone, and it is the exact vice-versa for Tpvp player, they perform very well alone, but they lack team co-ordination when faced with a cohesive team (They have not practiced much with cohesive builds).

Hello Siemiz! I am the leader of FOK (Furby Over Kill) a small WvW-centric guild. We are an english speaking SEA guild based in Jade Quarry. We run late SEA to early EU (around 10am to 1pm your time) If you are looking for more information please contact me!

Whats the difference between this guild and the rest?

Mister Pigdog, that is an exceptionally hard question for me to answer you, partly because for me, every guild is different and unique. No matter who the leader is or how the guild is run, what makes the guild at the end of the day are those people that confidently represent their guild.

To that end, all I can say is that, we are a small guild and focus heavily on friendship, communication, trust, and discipline. May I also add that this guild is a guild for the people, by the people. I may be a co-leader along with someone else, but you can describe us as figure heads, we are there to push the guild forward in whichever direction the guild wishes to go, we are not there to lead it in the direction we wish for it to go.

I hope that somehow answers your question. If you have anything to ask, please feel free to ask me in-game or just post it on this forum.

I’m on SoR. I’ve listened in on TS to when your guild is running WvW. The contempt that the more vocal members of your guild have for homosexuals is disgusting. I will not be joining your guild.

DarcShriek, I am the other guild leader within Ground Zero. It is true that I was not there that day and thus I have not heard what it is exactly my members have said. However, the way you put it, all I can do is apologize. I am currently looking into this matter as we speak. All in all, I can assure you that the majority of the guild is mature and very sociable, and will often overlook and forgive as well as repent for any undesirable consequences. We are also a very cross cultured guild where something may be okay in one one culture and completely intolerable in another, and we understand that, so we may be slightly more lenient on certain words used within chat.

Once again, my sincerest apologies, DarcShriek, for anything you may have found offensive from our guild. May we show improvements in the weeks to come and to get along as a server.
