Lets hope the mobs of IoJ players tone down after reset day. Don’t think I had a 1v1 for longer than 30 seconds that didn’t result in either A them dying right away or B 5+ of their friends showing up.
ive dueled you before.. its gonna take more than 1 anyway to beat you so get used to it..lol
I’d even be okay with 2, lol. 3, sure, I like a challenge. But I can’t do anything about 6, most times.
Also Moose, good post, but I highly doubt 95% of the population will change the way they’re already playing. GoM has way too many people, and IoJ has a pretty large population. When they’ve got that many on the map, they probably don’t see a reason to not zerg.
But hey, here’s hoping.
Yeah, it’s very sad. I guess I just don’t see the point =(, what do they need the WvW exp for? Not one of those skill points is even remotely beneficial when you have such large numbers.
I just wish more people felt the way we do about WvW, that it should be about the actual fight. Not golem rushing and trying to tag enemies for loot.
Hopefully those who do agree with us will at least make an attempt this week and try to pass along the message.
Something about e-kitten and thinking that winning an extremely low-end tier matchup matters.
Honestly, fact of the matter is, the vast majority of the players in WvW (mostly the pugs, but a lot of others, too) are just bad at the PvP side of the game. They can do ok when they attack a monster standing still, but can’t compete when that monster starts dodging & hitting back. Because of this, I think they see their only options to be either A: Get killed or B: Find a big group of people, hopefully they don’t kill me first. It doesn’t really help our cause that AR players are some of the best single/small group fighters. I’m sure the uplevels that I kill without letting them hit me once get pretty disheartened.
Regardless, people should see WvW as an opportunity to better themselves. Doesn’t matter what anyone thinks, following around a blue dot & spamming 1 will not make you a better player. When you fight players on a small scale, you can actually see what they’re doing. Even if you lose, if you pay attention, you can see why you lost. “Oh, that guy did this, maybe next time I’ll try doing that.” That’s how you become a better player.
Moral of the paragraphs, stop zerging, start roaming, duel more often. Do you always die to a necro? Find a decent one, ask him to duel you. Chances are they’ll duel you as many times as you want, and believe me, you will get better at fighting them the next time you run across one. You probably don’t die to awesome engineers very often, but if you do, PM me & ask for a duel. Win or lose, we both become better players in the end.
Things that should be known by all players in WvW, especially when they are playing Anvil Rock:
/Bow = Duel. Bow back to begin. 1v1, no stomps.
/Threaten = Duel. Start any time. 1v1, to the death.
