Guild Wars 2

Just to clear things up: the guilds UvL and AI Form elona reach do combined guild raids and gvg! (So it is Moore a gvgg for our opponents)

And kudos to con and koa for our first gvg matches there were lessons learned…:D

Choosing classes and then choosing builds is all about trade-offs. That’s what makes it interesting. You cannot have it all.

I’m currently playing with a Thief and a Guardian, they both fullfill different roles and have a different playstyle.
Both my Thief and my Guardian can move quickly, yes the Thief is faster, but my Guardian is ahead of the Zerg too in WvW.
My Guardian is currently not set up to deal damage, she is set up to endure and support. And in that she is very good, she takes conditions like a boss (and even removes conditions from allys!) and gives out boons like candy. Never had a problem with conditions or the small health pool.
Now the damage is not great, but that is okay. I could trait and gear her up to deal damage (and have done it before), but that would mean to sacrifice some of the survivability. And even with the reduced survivability compared to the support-setup my Guardian is much more relaxed to play than my Thief, because the class-mechanics of a Guardian are more defensive than of a Thief.
If the Guardian would now get more HP, then I think the Guardian would be overpowered. The trade-off between taking damage and dealing damage would be too slim to matter. Then you wouldn’t need to decide what’s better, it would be already decided by the classmechanics.

Additionly as mentioned earlier in the thread the Guardian has a ton of viable options to succesfully gear and trait. Many aspects and styles of fighting in the game can be done in a succesfully manner by the Guardian, an ability that most of the classes do not have. I would like to see ArenaNet fix the other classes first, before dealing with very minor “problems” as the Guardian having not enough hp.

If you play a Guardian be happy. You have one of the best, most viable and most diverse class in the game.

I agree with all of your points and adding one myself:

Why do I need do go after some green bad Sylvari when there are Elder Dragons still around? I am still curious if the Living Story will eventually continue the overall story of GW2: Fighting the Dragons.

So long…

salluks.6017:

OK, so we hiring night team(which isn’t there btw) is unfair to you and u steamrolling us on your vacation time like right now is completely fair then??

Right now, Deso has 10 people on our own borderland and Elona is running with 30+ on our borderland and your server is ticking 450+ for the past 9 hours is also fair as well.

And then you flame us still. maybe for a change why dont u look from our side instead of playing the german card every time and how the universe is against your server and how you are the big victims of language servers.

Jesus you misunderstood my post completly. Let me clear it up: I think you have EVERY RIGHT to recruit anyone from anywhere, I don’t care, do what’s best for your server as long as it is allowed by ArenaNet.
The universe seems to be in our favor at this time and I really enjoy it after some weeks of lows. And I hope it will be in our favor for a bit more, so that we can hold ourselves in T2.

Now my statement was more a general one, not really applying to the situation right now. I was playing up to 2:30 am local time right now and our attempt of making everything blue is looking good. Conclusion right now, for whatever reason, we have a massive coordinated zerg day and night. And you don’t. That of course makes it a bit odd, for every Elonian player to complain about Deso trying to beef up their nightly raids/teams whatever. And don’t tell me this guild from baruch, (was it?) did not transfer allready, I got to shoot some of them about 20 minutes ago. But as said earlier it is perfectly fine for them to join you.

Now the point of my previous post was, that german servers are not that appealing to non german speakers. The international Servers can be much more appealing to people from all over the world. Now if your server is more or less stuck in one timezone (and the other german servers too, so all you fancy-dancy-just-join-all-the-germans together people should keep a bit more quiet, you would just make the ques longer at prime time for us) and is playing against a server that is a european server which wins via american guilds at night, that can be frustrating. Not saying that this is the situation right now with Desolation, and that a situation like that is in terms of the game unfair. And I do not want to say that with an international server all problems would go and that success would come without hard work.

I hope I made myself clear. No hate from my side for Desolation. Up until now you guys rock as an enemy, because you are a challenge! (As is Arborstone)

greetings

How enthusiastic people can get about WvW! Shows only how much they like it I guess…

Now a brief introduction of myself: I play on Elona and I think it is easy to misunderstand why players from Elona react like they do (or I like to believe you guys misunderstand them and not that I misunderstand them). I think that I am allowed to say that Elona at German primetime is a nasty enemy, capable of delivering some good fights. And that is how it should be! Going into a fight knowing that it will be a hard piece of work, not just steamrolling over the enemies all the time. Victory is sweeter that way and defeat not so bitter.
The thing is now, that we from Elona know that we have the ability to be good (and at the moment we even lead!) but, as said earlier, we have vacation here in Germany, which means more people playing at night. At the same time we know that this won’t last for long. And then we have a problem: having enough people online at night. It is frustrating to loose against an enemy that you cannot fight, because you need to sleep. Even more frustrating when you know you could beat that enemy if both of you were in the same timezone.
It is then no secret that our vacation time will end and our performance at night will suffer. It is no secret that Desolation encourages guilds from NA-Servers to help their WvW-team. And when both these things come together, and Desolation fights with Elona again it could turn out rather different than the current meeting.
European servers recruiting American guilds to help them at night seems unfair to us, because we cannot really do something in game against it. We are pretty much helpless against it.
And for all you bright people telling us to try and do the same: well who in the world would want to join a server, where everyone speaks German but you?

In the end Elona needs to accept this part of the game. To play at the top means to have strong night presence. A strong night presence is easy to get, if you have players from all over the world on your server. Having players from all over the world on your server is completely fine, because ArenaNet dos not stop it. Thus it is playing by the rules.
But try understand the situation for Elona and then you will understand why some need to flame a bit on the forums to let out their frustration (even if it is indeed not the right place for it). And do not mistake those who do flame as representatives for the whole Elonian community. We welcome everyone who joins our server and you will know it, if you can understand German!

Greetings and merry Christmas!
