Guild Wars 2

Black screen on FA matchups, went black screen after fighting for 10 secs, tyvm

TBH, I don’t understand why an Anet staff would want to interrupt a GvG, is it not considered as an “in-game event” since the Unofficial GvG thread got moved to the “in-game events” section.

-cheers-

Poor op got infracted

Anywayz, even though it may be the last GvG showdown for a while, I’m just wondering if Ogre, Sacrx, Pryda etc will be doing another GvG commentary stream like the Scnd vs VII.

-cheers-

Thanks for the GvG [AWE], it was fun

-cheers-

And the 3 letters that are being spammed is a actually part of your game… I’m glad at least you can spam gvg in the forums without banned.

Also there are quite a few devs that play in WvW, I’m sure they know what GvG as well.

-cheers-

Got excited about when I saw dev presence, at least they made a post ignoring the gvg topic, that’s a start I guess lel

-cheers-

I know RAM and CL were from Yak’s Bend and is now on FA, have you spoken to any of those members?

-cheers-

I was trying to do Hrathi, and your servers disconnect me a few times, when I came back I was in the concurrent overflow, but my party was in the right instance, so I joined theirs during final wave, close a few portals and killed scarlet, no advancement.

-cheers-

Why pay for 200-300 sized guild if barely 30 turn up for WvW.

Also, about the contribution of GvG to WvW, and their focus on zerg bursting technique…

This was as good as it was bad to WvW. When the focus of an entire server become the loot bags, you can basically say bye-bye to any type of strategies in order to cap big structure like keep. Go on and try to zerg burst a wall for fun…

And all those people running around only to get loot bags basically means the death of small roaming groups. Here is a simple explanation.

Imagine that you have a rock, paper, scissor system in WvW. Where paper are small roaming groups, scissor are zerg bursting groups and rock are the huge blobs.

- Rock (huge blob) > Scissor (zerg bursting)
- Scissor (zerg Bursting) > Paper (5 men party)
- Paper (5 men party) > Rock (huge blob)

Huge blob are better than zerg bursting group because zerg bursting group are just there for loot bag so when you don’t want to get farmed by a few that only wants to do zerg bursting then you form a big blob.

Zerg bursting are better than 5 men party because zerg bursting group are just there for the loot bags… So what is the best target for zerg bursting group? Smaller group than them!

5 men party are better than huge blob because the huge blob can’t be everywhere at the same time so you can attack many points at the same time and the blob can only defend 1.

This system is really perfect and it balances itself pretty well. Now the problem arise when a group decide, for example, that they only want to do zerg bursting all night long. This means the death of all the roaming groups and the creation of huge brainless blob to counter the zerg bursting groups.

By only liking 1 play style, they are creating what they hate the most : the blobs.

Actually what is your size definition of blobs, with GvG its usualy 15v15 or 20v20. Well trained guilds can zerg bust with 25 v 50.

-cheers-

So what happened on TC’s end, was there a lack of communication/miscommunication with EP and the other TC players? Just wondering if that situation could’ve been prevented.

-cheers-

Is this the same [RUN] that had Jacbo? Or am I mistaken hehe

-cheers-

Convenant.7092:

Agg still refuses to fight AoN in a gvg with anything short of 15v15.

I think to create the type of dynamic that found in GvGs these days its usually 15v15 or 20v20.

So I’m thinking AoN refuses to do 15v15 and Agg refuses to do anything less than 15?

-cheers-

Well if you often run in 60-80+ man zergs, expect your group to be sloppy, nuff said.

-cheers-

And then you can finally join in with GvGs in the EU scene eventually?

-cheers-

Good GvG Team Shatter versus Unreal Aussies ( uA) I played as a norn necro and I thought uA used very good movement and condition control. While TS were happy to get one skirmish win, the series win clearly went to uA.

I appreciate the turnout from both sides, including the onlookers, thanks for bringing the fun.

Hope to see you again in the RNG matches.

Much appreciated <3 It was great for us as well, whether a win or loss we all get to improve and learn something new.

-cheers-

Same here as well

Alilinke.7690:

Why would you hold a GvG on the third servers borderlands? :S

Lol, tbh, there is no rule to which BLs you SHOULD have a GvG, as long as its where the windmill is + its closer to there own spawn.

-cheers-

at least SoS gets free ratings for coming last anyway.

Besides that, yep, these matchups are silly.

Quite often a server gets massive PPT that is due to coverage and skill.

Well PvDers are entitled to play WvW lol, and this only happens when opponents don’t bring a show of force.

We now have more room for the NA timeslot, feel free to come in

Definitely if you are a guild that is sick of queues, we have plenty of room here in FA.

Above all cleared and sorted out.

True story for me, I got stuck under the ground of Godslore while fighting TC, by pressing staff 2 on mesmer, and I was swimming under there, and I was like what? Didn’t know there was water under there….

-cheers-

Most likely it’s the maintenance that is screwing things up atm.

Seems to be fine now
