Anything done to discourage 75-100 man Zergs?

I hate to say this, but I’m beginning to accept that gw2 is simply not a good platform for serious competition. While it has potential, and is fun, there are simply some fundamental flaws that turned a game of chess (Gw1 ) into a mix of dodgeball and checkers.

I predicted that it would be a number 1 game, but I am now also predicting with confidence that these blob / zergs won’t be a long term problem as eventually there will not be enough serious pvp’rs in the servers to form big blobs, and wvw will eventually be owned by small gvg groups – and even then it won’t be serious competition because matchups are not player controlled. I give it a year.

Accept it. Has been for almost a year. You just had more fun expecting/hoping change would come soon. Hasn’t even come close to changing giant flaws.

All the real head hunter guilds left the game. Unfortunately all that is left are blobs of people who really dont know how to pvp….or even what it looks like for that matter.

Simple GIANT game-changing mechanic change would be just to only allow rezzing from out of combat players. Solves so many issues. Enough of the crutches for new players.

MAKE YOUR GAME HARD SO WE STICK AROUND TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO WIN!!!

Stop with the hello kitty island skill level requirements.

Wvw is a lost cause as long as the downed state still exists and a blob can cover the same distance in the same time as a single player/small group. Top it off with the massive skill lag that forces players to reduce their brain usage to that of a single brain for the entire blob and you have a failing formula.

Just give me an open world map where I can fight people and I will be wasting one less queue slot.

agreed dude. Good to know there are still some people like our guild out there.

Like all Anet pvp the maps are too small.

People even zerg in spvp (8v8 and 10v10) because it is most profitable. Compare the conquest mode of the spvp and then go play LOL (dominion). Its the same thing, but because of the spread of the map and number of people on it, it is difficult to zerg. And 100x more fun.

In Daoc roaming teams were legendary. The maps were very large and unless you were taking a fort zerging was very difficult.

They could limit the number of people on the map. Open more maps.

Or they could redesign the maps so they are bigger. Push all the major objectives to the corners. Remove waypoint building in side keeps.

Another idea would be to force teams to hold 2 points simultaneously… Say I wanted to take a major keep like Hills. My team might need to hold 2 other towers at the same time or the gates wouldn’t weaken. Defensive players may need to hold a tower or they can not get inside.

I reject all calls to strengthen AOE. If it was strengthened it would come down to 2 sides standing across from each other spamming AOE. At least the current meta requires the coordination of mele and ranged to run an effective hammer train.

Agreed dude. BRING US BACK TO SINGLE TARGET DPS!!!!!

Take 75% of the objectives off every map. Make this about pvp and have conquest involved with making objectives worth it for strategy….not just for wxp farming.

MAKE PLAYER KILLS THE MAIN WAY TO RANK UP.

50 Suggestions for Anti-Zerg Tweaks

in WvW

Posted by: Npac.3476

If experience given from kills scaled per player as it did in daoc…much less zerging happens.

1 kill with 8 guys = 250 RP’s
1 kill with 20+ = 15 RP’s

Tower with 20+ = 300 RP’s
Tower with 8 guys = 2000 RP’s

Makes a WHOLE lot of sense. And I am not being sarcastic. It is an age old mmo concept that should be household.

You guys realize the reason 99.9% of the players in this game blob is because they lack any past pvp experience and are afraid to die without the help of the blob….

Yea yea yea rewards this and that, that has some merit here, but the MAJORITY of the blobbers do it because its, easy, mindless, and compensates for ALL and ANY lack of actual player vs player talent.

The guys who run around and make videos/win fights that are EXTRAORDINARILY oddly favored against are players that have taken the time to A. develop a build with synergy for the scenario, B. learned how to kite/ not key turn/ macro keys/ NOT CLICK, and C. have most likely pvped on their comps in other mmos….

Anet captured the “I’m new to gaming and I want easy over anything else” market….that is fact here….

The 2 main reasons blobs happen in this game are these:

1. The game mechanics are the LEAST skillfull in any game ever made.
- AoE (wah wah wah about the server size and the world would end if they increased the cap) this cap is there PURELY to crutch the weak. If groups of 5-10 ran over clumped up groups of 30 those 30 would then uninstall after a week of the same thing and quit as customers to Anet. The cap allows 15 guys to hit all 5 in a 5man, and the 5man to hit 5 of the 15. THERE IS NO REASON that should EVER exist in a game. Blatant crutch for not as truthfully skilled players. And gw2 doesnt really take skill…its super smooth and very easy.
- The downed state (“but it helps small groups sometimes too”) we have played since launch….it doesnt help EVER more than it punishes. The downed state again is probably larger overall as a crutch than the aoe cap. This allows for people who have no idea how to player vs player combat to “have a chance” to rejoin the fight even though a coordinated team just smoked them. Find a coyote, find a mosquito…and youre right back in it baby! With no downed state, again, players quit because it presents MUCH more challenge per fight. We dont want that here, we want log in, have fun, everyones equal, kinda like chucky cheeses….ZERO comptition.

2. The second main reason blobs happen is because Anet wanted to capture the non-competitive “everyone is equal / never really played an mmo before” market, and succeeded. In ANY other open world pvp there has been 1000x more competition per team/ per server/ per realm / PER PLAYER. People fear dying and ridicule so much in this game that running in 40 pressing 3 keys a fight, (or clicking ), makes more sense than ever challenging your own ability with a couple friends because the 40 prevent you from really dying. That is unless you come across a 50-60 man, then you die and say, oh man, good fights! They had more!

Here is my ? after a YEAR of playing this game to all of you who always complain about this.

WHY CONTINUE TO PLAY AFTER EXPERIENCING ANYTHING OVER 30 SECONDS OF THAT AWFUL LAG?

As human beings, how could you possibly sit at your desk, on your comp, and experience any feeling of fun watching your screen basically just lag out because of the terrible server stability? Wouldn’t there be a little spark in your mind saying, “you know, this isn’t that fun at all….you’re right conscience, this is actually pretty brutal. In fact laughable…..what am I actually doing this for?”

Here is an idea…stop running around with 100 other people.

league servers are locked, so whatever server your on is the one that will be used at the end of the league for reward/score etc.

you can still transfer but you won’t get that servers rewards at the end; only the one that you were on at the start.

You act like the rewards are something to look forward to… no one ever thinks people just play this game to kill people…

Truth is, 99.9% of the population doesnt want to roam/ actually fight any other players….without rellying on 20+ people around them to help them “not die”.

The population of people who want to do what you want to do….is nill to none. They have left the game, and the ones that “remain” have no problem ONLY FIGHTING zergs. Those are cold hard facts man.

Ways to promote small group play

Npac.3476

Super ez way to solve downed state….only ressable by other players when they are out of combat. You can rez urself super slowly, but if the small group of guys smashing a larger groups keeps downing people…they shouldnt be penalized because the zerg casuals have “dedicated rezzers” lol.

And all those explaining how AoE cap actually helps…please tell me where this helps a coordinated guild group of 5:
5 guys smash into 25-30. They hit 5 max people each, while ALL 30 can land attacks on those 5. Hmmmmmm…….who is this favoring? Lol for days.

Mechanics are a joke. Literally mario cart is tougher.

It’s like that guy Obscure One says…“We’re currently investigating potential ways to possibly resolve these issues in the future, but check out our living world we’ve got loads of new content!”

Npac.3476

I really dislike the suggestion.

Giving such buffs it totally unneeded and would seriously punish solo or duo roamers against a group of 5. The latter already has a huge advantage and doesn’t need more.

Even when I have a commander tag, I often don’t belong to any party. Forcing people to join party is really bad. I didn’t buy this game and invest time to be forced.

The combo field’s do not require any buffing, but the following combo fields need to have their effects reduced in WvWvW: water, fire, lightning, smoke. The 1st three are hugely overpowered in organized large scale battles and smoke fields are the thing, which allows permanent stealth.

With your suggestion, I could not even revive anybody on my side unless I am a member a party. HUH!?

You need to go play some other games and realize this is the first, and last of its kind…..

All the casuals will live in gw2 and pay Anet to make it a more role play/social lounge. No one else who wants to actually PLAY their game will ever play a model like this again.

Your ideas imply that people that zerg cannot also group and zerg. They can and will.

Remove rally, all forms, from WvW.

Change all buffs/heals/cleanse to be group only.

Everyone can create squads and give squads a UI for management and display.

Change reward structure to stop favoring PvDoor zergs.

Change weakness back to the way it was.

Add short CC immunity timer.

AoE cap increase.

WXP abilities for non-siege users.

There are lots of things that can be done, but the reality is ANET is carebear central and “lowering the bar” is their official motto.

Wait….have these ideas ever been used before in an mmo?

So the biggest problem with this game and company, is its player base/99.9% of its remaining customers. Truth is, Obscure and Niim, this is literally more a social lounge / ez mode starter land where people come who havent actually experienced good games and intense SKILL-BASED gameplay so to them, this is it!

So telling them their “dream lounge” is a joke isnt going to go over well.

This week in fact our 5 man left and started playing TERA. In the two days our guild has switched over, I have had more fun needing healers to heal me….and having NO absolutely NO downed state when we smoke people to worry about. There is NO AoE cap and no limit to the amount of people our coordinated team can drop.

It was such a refreshing air. Is it as smooth of gameplay….no. At least they got basics down, like when you kill someone…their dead and have to respawn….not oh you gotta kill them AGAIN. Guys, take it from a devoted 5 manner (ex 8manner) who played since launch….playing a different game with normal mmo pvp rules…feels 1000x better than expecting Anet and Devon (LOL) to change this “Social Lounge”.

Top 5 WvW Problems and Solutions (w argumts)

in WvW

Posted by: Npac.3476

Npac.3476

Top solution for competitive players is to leave GW2 and find another game till a more competitive pvp game comes out. The overall (99.9%) majority mentality is do whatever it takes to win regardless of the challenge involved. INCLUDING guilds that say they run “small man” teams.

Losing fights and coming back with ridiculous bunker/portal blind thief/mesmer group builds and more people than you had when you lost the original fight just to guarantee based off Anets crap mechanics a win….is just puzzzzzzy.

Solution- leave gw2 until a major change happens. (highly unlikely, why change the mmo carebear lounge?)

Best Server: Small Scale Roaming WvW?

Posted by: Npac.3476

Npac.3476

Suzu,

If i asked what you asked, I’d want a straight up answer given in return. I’ve played this game since launch with the mentality it seems you have. You are NOT going to find what you are looking for anywhere. Lower tiers SEMI SOMETIMES ALMOST MAYBE resemble a couple small man teams that now run in anything over 7-10.

But from a fellow daoc 8manner to another, you will NOT find competitive natured teams running around in any tier. Only teams that dont want to lose, and do whatever it takes (tower hug, run getaway specs that do zero dmg but cant really be killed without chasing across a full map, or just plain and simple add numbers upon numbers upon numbers to guarantee they dont die) to make sure that doesn’t happen regardless of how little it makes them look competitively.

All these people will tell you “oh no that guys wrong this server, no this server, no this server….blah blah blah”….but from a real competitive natured 8manner to another, it doesnt exist. People that tell you it does dont know what precisely you are looking for. If it is 1-2 good fights during primetime every 45 minutes to an hour, than yea, this may work for you. You will search for 45 minutes roaming trying to find a fairish/good fight, and most likely be zerged down by 30 scrubs.

Sorry man, cold hard facts. Wait for camelot unchained is the answer.

So, funniest thing happened to me today. Was out soloing around near Bay today and cut down what appeared to be a newly 80 thief…as well as 2 or 3 other players (also new…or just straight zerk). As soon as the battle ended (and to my intense surprise) said thief decided to invite me to join his party…where he promptly told me he had “reported me for hacking” and that I should “enjoy my ban”. I then tried to respond…attempting to inform him that the reason he and his fellows died was due to terrible gear, terrible coordination, as well as a clear lack of wvw experience….not to mention a very clear lack of any form of toughness. Unfortunately however, he left my group before I could respond…leaving me in an awkward, funny, yet slightly disturbing place.

Now, while my guild might “boast” a bit, I have never claimed to be the best thief that has ever lived. That being said, I (and all of my guild mates for that matter) DO NOT HACK. Period. If someone is so desperate to win in a video game that they would literally break the system in order to win then they clearly have some serious acceptance issues and may some higher power have mercy on their soul. This being the case, I sincerly hope that Anet really looks at these “cases” of reported hacking because, if I get banned for being so much better than some tryhard hero thief that he literally can’t comprehend what happened and therefore resolves that I must be cheating…I am going to beyond kitten ed.

No but in all honestly as things currently stand KoM is better than us. We recently lost a guy to another guild, have another one on vacation, and a few other members having a mid Guild Wars 2 life crisis. So for the immediate future I would be much more concerned with KoM than PAXA.The baby’s all grown up ;p

PAXA 5 man recruiting 1 more

in Looking for...

Posted by: Npac.3476

Npac.3476

Our guild is [PAXA]. We run a 5 man on weeknights focused only on killing and kill-to-death ratio. We have worked on group synergy builds for the past 7 months and rely only on who is in group while avoiding “teal” colored players as much as possible. We run Mon-Thurs from 7pm cst to 11pm cst. We do run Sunday nights but usually with 4 out of the 5.

We are looking to pick up a fulltime member to fill our groups 5th slot. Our entire groups background stems from hardcore 8-manning in DAOC. For us this position is more about the player’s caliber / personality than the class. Classes are debatable as we are semi-flexible. Most people in GW2 have trouble seeing our perspective so right off the bat joining us puts you on Public Enemy #1 list. If ridicule and “trolling” doesn’t bother you than there won’t be any issues.
We’re a dedicated team and if this is something you find serious interest in please send myself a tell, or Aroneouss, in game or via the forums. The first step will be getting you into our vent to discuss backgrounds, intentions, and to see if personalities mesh well.

Thanks.

Zerg guilds complaining about servers that have larger zergs.

Mhm I just love these posts I’m not repping EDGE nor OBS here but I can just picture it vividly in my head. BS running around with a group of X players, wiping groups 2-3 times their size all night long. Suddenly they run into a group that has 2-3 more players than them and wipe, something that they would normally be able to handle.

Naturally the only response would be to call out these players for being bads and zerglings, not the others who ran in twice as large groups and failed to wipe you.

This is a behaviour I like to call the PAXA-logic.

Don’t you know that saying our name summons us? Especially talking kitten about a guild behind its metaphorical back……and when said guild isn’t even in the same match up to stomp some face.

Call that the WEAK MAN-logic.

Zel-To begin,when a small man complains about the Zerg mentality that permeates this game, they are not in fact “whining” about dying. Instead, they are calling out a “tactic” that focuses on overwhelming force of numbers in order to replace actual skill.

Some servers are bigger than others, what a small server may consider a Zerg may be a skirmish squad against a t1 server. You cannot say people are hiding behind Zerg and have no skill its stupid. What are they supposed to do say “alright guys we are facing a smaller force I want half of you to either not Q or when we do get in an engagement please draw straws to see who will be sitting out”? /facepalm

Hey there stellar player. Looks like you didn’t actually read all of my post….just the very beginning. Go back and try it again. Should probably clear things up!

For the record, there is a difference between the “stop zerging and fight us with a smaller, more coordinated group” and the “whatever, PAXA kills people 5v1 so they are no better than the Zerg”.

Lets take a closer look:

Zel-To begin,when a small man complains about the Zerg mentality that permeates this game, they are not in fact “whining” about dying. Instead, they are calling out a “tactic” that focuses on overwhelming force of numbers in order to replace actual skill.

Noob-But wait Zel…aren’t all those cries of PAXA just runs around roflstomping solo players the same thing?! I mean they have superior numbers there and by the power of proportions shouldn’t that amount to the same kind of crap?! I mean honestly what kind of skill does it take for 5 to kill 1?

Zel- Good observation Noob…however, as is often the case, you are wrong. You see, the differentiating factor between these two situations is that when a small man like PAXA destroys a solo/duo player…it usually is just that they got in their way. These small man guilds are geared to take down double, even triple their numbers and the threat that 1 dazed up level presents to them is a joke. That being said, it does not mean that those, pardon my reference, noobs should be allowed to live. They are simply swatted away and then the small man can get back to focusing on the real target.

Noob-Okay…still sounds the same to me though? How does that separate them from a zerger? I mean, should a Zerg just let a 5 man go because they are “below” their notice….if not a tower for that matter?!

Zel- Of course not! Every player that is red should be killed…and zergs should try to kill the 5 mans…it is a PvP game after all! No my young noob, the real difference between these situations is that the small man groups don’t acknowledge the kill. They don’t brag on the forms about it, call that player names, or even recognize it at all. It was simply a blip they wiped off the radar screen. However, when a Zerg and their commanders wipe a small man such as PAXA it is a cause for celebration. They pat themselves on the back and acknowledge the defeat of a tough foe..going so far as to post about it and generally brag about their success. This reaction to the death of the small man proves that, to the Zerg, not only were they a tough foe, but also illuminates the fact that they had put actual effort into the kill…something that a 5 man wiping a solo player would never claim.

Noob- So what your saying is that because the Zerg feels like they had accomplished something by beating a small man with their Zerg they are wrong?

Zel- No, by feeling accomplished through the strength of the Zerg they are setting themselves apart from the 5 man…who feels nothing when they kill a proportionally small force. You see, these small mans crave that accomplished feeling too..but not the illusion of success the Zerg brings. They want to defeat players who are just as talented as them and can challenge them 100% of the way. A Zerger on the other hand only wants safety..as well as the feeling of power…something a Zerg destroying a 5 man provides. But, unfortunately for the zerger, it is false because they know in their hearts that without their Zerg, their true, terrible selves would emerge…shaming them terribly. It is because of this fact that zergers constantly look for ways, such as claiming that small mans are kitten for killing solos, in order to rationalize their own inadequacy as well as ensure that warm, fuzzy feeling of power keeps on buzzing. A small man on the other hand earns their power…kill after hard fought kill…and doesn’t give a crap about any unfortunate wanderer that got in the way.

Noob- Ah I get it now. Zergers call out 5 mans because they seek ways to explain their own failings while 5 mans simply point them out??

Zel- Exactly!

On a completely unrelated note, PAXA is recruiting!

We are looking for either a dps war or Mesmer…and must play prime time (that is during the week at night…weekends not expected….get a life!)

If you think you have the testicular fortitude to fight many with only a few, desire a tight knit, core group mentality…and can live with hate from pretty much every zerger on the planet…then give me or Jamo a shout!

PAXA- an equal opportunity guild where no matter what server, zerg, or guild you come from, well still kill you!

5 man LF fulltime 5th slot

in Guilds

Our guild is called PAXA. We are an “old school” type 5 man guild that runs everyday. Hardcore, elitists, (insert adjective here), are a couple to describe what we do. We spend ALOT of time on group synergy builds in order to kill with the fastest efficiency.
We focus 100% of our time on killing players. For us it is all about execution and the timeliness of. We do NOT zerg, in fact avoid our own teal adds as much as possible so that fights that are won are because of our 5 and not the help of some soloer.

What we are looking for is a player. A player to fill our 5th slot in group everyday. Not specifically a class, as we have changed our class makeup around a bit in the past week. However, if interested we will have you build what we need both class and group build.

PAXA runs 6pm central to about midnight everyday. Weekends are more iffy, but weeknights are 100% a go. Below is a couple videos of what it is we look like when fighting. PST if interested to jscull.2514. The first step will be a vent meeting with our team as we dont just hire randoms, it has to be the proper fit. We are looking to fill this slot and begin building synergy immediately.

PAXA doesn’t do 1v1 as far as I know minus the thief who ive beaten a few times now.

There once was a guy named moobs
Who wanted to impress all the noobs
So he came to the forums
And started a war
So now all we laugh at is moobs

Wow sorry for the delayed response…took me a while to notice this.

Anyway, here it is!

Who’s MoB you ask?! A guild of men and women dedicated to making sure no arrow cart goes unturned, no treb un manned, and no balista unloaded. They are a brave guild of heroes so talented that no door can stand before them, no wall raise above them, and no keep lord capable of defying them. They are a valorous force of knights led by the coolest Dorito around…..so cool I’ve heard that not even Cool Ranch himself knows what to do. In fact, I have heard rumors that he is so powerful that he literally cannot be beaten…and to even try is but error and folly. Simply amazing.

Why choose MoB over another guild?! Well why the hell not?! They are unbeatable…and to even contest this fact is blasphemy. How do I know this you may ask? Well I, disillusioned leader of my guild, once tried to fight these warriors. And, while we had thought we had cast them down on the fields of battle, we were terribly mistaken. Just by the sheer power of his words our “supposed” victory was denied. Lies we cried! Deciet we shouted! But our words were lost beneath his splendor and soon all the lords of lions arch turned their gaze from us…basking in his might. A terrible day, but a lessened learned. MoB can turn utter defeat into glorious victory…and all through the power of words! Such strength!

So in my humble summation, MoB is the greatest guild that has ever walked the Mists of GW2. No force can crack their army, no team can stop their siege, and no man can slay their king….for even if you do succeed the truth will be eradicated by the strength of their words and the magic of their voices. So…if you seek to be the greatest player that had ever lived….no matter the outcome of a fight, join MoB.

After all, win or loose, you still won.
