Competitive Ruling: Car Crashed and Vermillion

in PvP

Posted by: XSamX.7182

XSamX.7182

Sam here. Hello everyone.

To clarify the situation I will just poke in my 2 cents. Trashtalk me as you want, I really don’t care. I just post this for everyone who wants to know exactly what happened.

I am not someone who plays unfair. I don’t wanted to get an advantage out of this. We got our 4th-5th place set if we would have played normally, and even if we would have had beaten TCG, we would have just get 3rd place, so not really much more money or anything.

So, why did I do this then? Vermillion got DDOS’ed (from guys, who are in proleague, because they know the rules exactly), everyone, even the guys that don’t play PvP and stuff know EXACTLY what happened in the game TCG vs. VM. Since ESL and Arenanet both didn’t give Vermillion a fair chance to rematch, I decided to give them atleast a chance, to beat 55hp and beat TCG and get their Spot which they deserved into the finals. Since they beaten TCG with 200 Points lead, I thought for myself, that this is unfair as hell, but no one helped them.

I stated it a lot and everyone knows that I was in my finals exam for my apprenticeship. That’s why I didn’t got much time to spend on Training for GW2. (You can see that in the first weeks, were we played with Kanscout over me, even though Mesmer was better obviously.) But even if I would have had time, I would not be as good of a mesmer as Frostball.

I loved this game, but I never loved the Proleague, because it’s just unfair over and over and over again. Car Crashed got trashtalked by every Proleague Team, no one did something against it. I said something about Helseth, and gets instantly messages from ESL guys.
TCG matchfixed their match against Orng, which would get you banned immediatiely in other games and Rom even admited it, ON STREAM. Nothing happened.
TCG played with Rom and Denshee against Orange Logo, which is not allowed, it’s stated in the official rules in ESL. But ESL is changing this rules mid season, for TCG.
Someone ddos’ed Vermillion, no rematch, no afk, no 4 v 4, no changing rules, NOTHING HAPPENED.

Do you call this fair? If so, don’t read more of this text.

Frostball got DDOS protection and everything, and they still insisted on their rule, that everyone needs to work their own protection. So they literally stated, that unfair behaviour is getting rewarded, and that DDOS is allowed or what?

And this was kittening me off so hard, that I decided to do that. I know it was wrong, and if the DDOS didn’t happen, I would have not gone for this stupid behaviour. I did this by myself, together with Frostball. My team did not know what Frostball and me planned, but they got banned out of it. But yeah, what ever, Fair play is the best play, right?

I love this game, it’s the one I played from beta, and enjoyed 3 and a half year now. Even though the balance was a problem from the start, even though I get trashtalked a lot (when I joined Car Crash, and I did NOTHING, everyone hated Posi and Zapdos, and so hated me, because of my Guild Tag, getting guys who tell me to DDOS me and stuff.)

But yeah. The game is now dead to me. Not because of Guild Wars 2. It’s still a great game, but because of Proleague.

I am sad that everything worked out like this, because the whole Proleague is not watchable. Of course I did something wrong, I am not proud of it or anything and I would not say ever, do the same. I will take the consequences as an adult as usal. If the DDOS would have not happened, I would have not done this 100%. But if I could continuum split back, I would probably do the same again, because i think it was the right thing to do for Vermillion.

And yeah, someone talked on Whisper Chat. It was not me, but I don’t want to blame anything, on anyone. So I don’t need to say the name.

Peace out, hopefully I see you in a year or in other games and I wish good luck for Arenanet. That they will do more good stuff for this game. But they should let go of the Esport. It’s just not ment to be.

P.S.: Sry for my bad english.

Best regards,

Sam

GW2 PvP and the poor state of EU Pro League

a ventari hammer condi rev is not experimenting or theorycrafting, its them outright telling everyone they’re just here to play out the games for the prize money.

^
I’m just playing the games for tage’s sake instead of him having to find a 3rd sub.
Otherwise I would have quit alltogether already

The only game we will play serious is most likely against super smash just to secure 6th

I understand that completely. I do not understand how mid season transfers are even allowed tbh.

Good luck in your future match and wherever you move on to. It was fun watching you on twitch.

Rom and Denshee were both not allowed to play against Orng. So the mid season transfer wasn’t allowed. It’s stated in the ESL Rules. But it doesn’t matter, it’s TCG man. ESL will officially change the rules, mid season, for them.

Proleague isn’t watchable anymore. 1 Game is out, no team is playing serious anymore. Everyone just play to net get kicked out, to get the season 2 money.

The viewer dropped from 9k at the start, to 1,5k for every monday and the meta is not changing at all. Mesmer ruled Season 1, and if you could stack classes, it would totally blow Season 2 too.

So yeah. It’s over.

Well the rewards are basically nothing. We have the Platinum Reward Chest, and I thought it give a little reward, but really NOTHING. It’s 2 PvP Potions more then the gold one, and that’s it.

The Guild Decoration Tokens are the same, so it doesn’t matter that you are Top 1 or what ever. We got many chests, because we placed many teams in good Spots but next season, we will just form teams, do 1 Match and get 100+ 1000 Chests and we will get WAY more rewards than this.

I think it should be rewarded if you place first or 2-25, otherwise no one will play Guild Challenger anymore.

Vamp rune

in PvP

XSamX.7182

“Rune of Vampirism – Profession skills are no longer available while in mist form (PvPers can use them again in tournaments since they won’t be banned anymore)” -dulfy

i would actually prefer if they would let this thing stay in the game, so we at least dont have to deal with vamp runes in esl

I Would like to kick this Rune out of PvP aswell. Completely. Give it more ICD or that it just proc when you go under 10% and would get another damage that would not kill you.

Atm it’s a reset button for every class, a stunbreak, 3 second invul and kitten.

The Problem with Stronghold

in PvP

Posted by: XSamX.7182

XSamX.7182

Hello everyone,

I want to talk about Stronghold here. Stronghold still got too much problems, to call it a real PvP Mode. It has good potential, but has just too much issues.

The Main issue that Stronghold got atm is, that defense is absolutely useless. You just push all the time, running a bit doorbreaker and you can’t do much about it. If you defend, the opponents will respawn too fast to actually get rewarded for defending their.

Main Issues in Stronghold:

- 15 Seconds respawntimer is really too low. You can just run in their base, getting killed and run into their base again and the opponent team can’t do much about it.
- You can channel the buff, with a random noob form like Rampage and Plague, that every Necro and Warrior got and get the buff just for free. You can’t cc them because they got 3 Stacks Stab every 3 seconds. Even if you manage to interupt their first channel with every boon rip and kitten. They will just channel again and get it. You can’t kill them either, because of double endure pain proc or perma blind + weakness in plague. Just stupid. Really.
- The map is really small. You can run through in just a few seconds.
- Once the last door is open the lord doesn’t regenerate. Here same issue as always. Offense >>>>>>> Defense. You just go in with just 1 guy. Getting killed, respawn go in again and you can’t defend the lord because he stays at his crappy life pool.
- You can’t upheal doorbreakers or defender NPC’s right. They just getting rekked by one person that stealthes a few times vs 5 People.
- The Matches atm are all the same. Everyone just kill the doorbreakers and the match will expand to 15 mins. After that the team won who got the warrior or the necro that channels the buff. Because that gives you really good points and that team, wins every game. Who is the fastest on the buff wins.

My Solutions for this problems:

- Copy the GW1 GvG Mode. It was the best mode ever in the game and EVERYONE would like it. But I know you will not do that, so here my real solutions:

- When you are in rampage or plague, make the buff unable to channel like in stealth or invul. Or make the buff like the one in temple. Everytime you get hit, you get interupted.
- When the last door is open and you manage to defend your lord from your opponents completely. Let it restart from 100% again.
- Expand the map and give it paths to split and paths to teamfight at.
- Give every NPC a buff that gives them extra 500% Healing from players or something like that. When you heal an NPC for 2k heal and he facetanks a mirror blade spike for 15k every 9 seconds, it’s not really something you can hold. I mean you make a game where the holy trinity doesn’t exist and you are forced to block/invul or dodge damage, but npc’s just stays their like, “what is dodging, or blocking?”, THAT CAN’T WORK. The NPC’s are just useless, you could throw them out of stronghold and nobody would care. Or let them respawn every now and then. But this is just kitten.
- Points for defeting NPC’s. If you would get Points for defending enemy npc’s it would be much more profitable to defend your base and the team are not just spaming doorbreakers over the map, the whole game.

- SPLIT IT TO COMPETITIVE AND CASUAL. We have Unranked and Ranked. Why not use that to actually get a good PvP mode? If you will do Unranked just for solo players, you can adjust the timer on 15 mins and let them just play a yolo mode like now. Do Ranked only allow to a 5 player team. So the Playerbase will split and you can play the mode you like. The Team mode should need more time (competitive player likes, when the game needs more time (Best example moba games or Gw1 PVP!!!!). 28 Mins was really great and gives you more opportunities to get tactical.
- Give us a /gameend for EVERY game. When 5 player are in a game. It isn’t good and every player sucks, and you get the feeling this isn’t worth my time and you just want to throw this game out of your window, then it would be great, really great, when every player can accept their lose and when EVERY Player of your team accepts with you and want to end it aswell, then it should end NOW and not just when the timer runs out or the other team will need to crush you even more. That are the moments when every GW2 player wants to leave this game. And a /gameend with 5 player would fix this problem.

I would be so happy and proud, if some of this would actually get fixed. I loved GW1, it was one of the best Games for PvP (except for the fact that their was no e-sports love or something like that) and I love GW2 aswell. But I would call GW2 a better game, if it would just have the same PvP mode like in GW1.
I know my english isn’t that great, so I apologize for my mistakes.

I hope you will change something

Regards,

Sam [MiM]

Hey,

I am Sam from the PvP Guild Made in Meta [MiM]. Some might know me as their guardian and playing many huge tournaments and stuff. My Team is inactive as long as the knew stuff from GW2 is coming and I am looking for some guys I can play with.

I am looking for cool guys to play with, either cool stuff in PvE or playing Ranked/Unranked Matches in PvP. What you need to have:

- PvP guys, should have a nearly complete Team I can join in and play with you, mostly as guest. (If I like you really hard, I can join maybe but I will never leave my current guild. I multiclass so it doesn’t matter what I play, you can test me as whatever you want.
- I don’t care about your experience in tPvP, I can teach you a lot of things but mostly I just look for funny people to play with
- You should speak german (would prefer that but it don’t need to be) or english

- PvE guys need to have a special guild with a good schedule. I don’t want to be someone to build the guild with you. I don’t care how large you are, just 4 other guys that play active are enough.

If you want to guest me for ESL or something just ask me and if you want to see me play, just type Made in meta in youtube and you can see me as the guardian. If you want to see our tournament winnings or more things I got just type Made in meta in google and you will see. If you have any other questions, just feel free to ask me ingame.

Much regards,

Sam

6. The amount of dodges is to kitten high!

This is a thing that I don’t understand in a high skill cap game aswell. With permanent vigor on almost every class, energy, dodge skills, blocks with low cooldown it’s almost impossible to see a very good player where you think: “Wow he dodges really well”, because you can dodge everything and just spam dodges to net get hit by anything. You don’t need to see the arcing arrow flying to you, you just random dodge everything and still win, because I don’t need to spare my dodges for certain skills, I can just dodge everyone of it. A S/D Dagger Thief is the best example for that. This thief is not really dodging on purpose, he is just dodging to get this 1 second invul, to not get hit by anything. He can do that 16 seconds without any stop. So why should I need to actually dodge good? If I can just roll over the map like a kitten.
You still need to be good and still need to dodge the best skills to be on a high skill cap. BUT even the high skill cap is dodging too much, why are you not making doding more rewardable as it is now. Reduce perma vigor and every boon to a boon that you need to use with brain, instead of just stacking it to 1min on so many classes. I mean you get 5 seconds vigor (most of the time because of boon duration 6-7 seconds) on critical hits by a cooldown of 5 seconds. You don’t need to think, ok now I need more dodges as before to dodge the real important stuff, NO you just get it for free. Why not just giving every class extra dodges and remove vigor completely. Wouldn’t be any difference.

I put my last hope in this Thread, sure I think it will not change anything, but at this point I am already leaving this great game, not because I want to, just because it ruined everything that I loved in this game and I don’t know anything to do anymore.
Sadly it killed Made in Meta, because we can’t stand such a meta and don’t want to play clasess and amulet we don’t enjoy. I know it’s a lot of work, I know their will still be haters that don’t like it, but you would make so many players happy and you would actually get other old good guilds in PvP again. After this, their is just TCG and Cheese Mode that’s playing EU Meta and I think it will be sad to just watch the celestial kitten over and over again. Please atleast try to change something and watch the community react to it instead of doing nothing productive.

P.S.: Sry for the long and double post and I know so many will not read it :O

Much regards

5. AoE Damage

What you need to with a celestial comp is easy. Just spam so much AoE Damage on a point that the one that actually needs to hold it either die or leave the point for us. You can’t avoid the damage, because the point is as big as the AoE Damage and even if you dodge everything and be the best guardian on earth, you will still die or will loose the point to this. You don’t even need to focus a target down, you are just spaming every AoE Skill (You have much so doesn’t matter anyway) on the point, something will drop and you just AoE Damage on the dead Body. The team can’t get it up, will die aswell or will go in a 4 v 5. Not much skill needed, sadly. You have 2 Options. Make the points bigger, like foefire where you can actually avoid damage and do some great work, or you just reduce this amount of AoE cluster and reward rezzes more.

4. Might Stack and solo play

Every ele can stack might to 25 stacks, he don’t need anything special about it, or teamplay. The complete game is focusing on playing on your own, holding yourself up and winning your fights. You don’t care about your team anymore, because you don’t need anyone for anything. You have passive heals that do the healing work that your team needs to do, you can stack immo and stunchains on your own. You can even stack 25 might with so many classes, without any big effort, you don’t need anyone for that. I can do every condition on my own, even the burst damage is not missing. So why should I search for a team? Why should I actually do anything in a team. That’s a really hard question I ask me every time again. I feel pretty useless because you can’t do anything as guardian anymore. I was the one for stomps, stomps doesn’t exist anymore, you just cluster in the dead body and kill him. Stomps are not necessary and that’s really no joke! You can’t rezz anymore, because the cluster kitten is gonna kill you aswell. Cleansing conditions is useless aswell because every condition is applied again in a few seconds. I stayed their as guardian and seriously asked myself what I need to now and this brings me up to my next point.

3. Sigills and luckprocs

I don’t know what comes to your mind to actually get double sigills. Really I don’t get it, WHY do you think that Fire and air is good to work together? Why did you think allowing something like geomancy + doom would be really great? I don’t get it PLEASE explain me.
This was the worst change in Guild Wars History that I ever see, because you allowed more randomness with Fire and Air procs, you allowed wombo combo sigills and just decrease the amount of sigills used to a minimum.
Before the patch was live, I needed to choose. Do I pick Energy, instead of geomancy? And then go for 5 stacks power or whatever, that give me bonuses when I play good. Or do I want Poison instead of Bleeding? Why not pick both right?
NO it’s just really stupid to allow Fire and Air Sigill together. Now EVERY Class, can do a 5k Spike every 5 seconds with every skill. A Thief battle decides in 2 things. Hitting the steal and getting fire and air procs first. That’s the only things that matter, it doesn’t even matter if you are better then your opponent, it’s just this 2 things, that both random apply that decide your 1 v 1 and decide even matches.
The old system was perfect. You are getting one really good sigil, and one that’s not that good but good for your profession and don’t allow wombo combos. And instead of doing 50% on Fire, Air sigills, why are you not saying that your next krit (with a visible icon) is going to hit another 2k damage, instead of this random factor?

2. Instant Damage/Passive Procs

You are a thief. You are going on an engineer right now, you are at 50% life and the engineer is almost down. He has nothing ready, you know you got him and then it happens. He dodges, you instantly get the bombdamage (from the trait he leave a bomb when he dodges), get a 2k krit and and incendery powder trigger. You are dead and the engineer is running around with his 1% life, sit on your face and laugh. You did nothing wrong but you still die. You ask why? Well, he dodged, get a lucky krit and that’s life I think.
This game should be a high skill game. Where you actually outplay your opponents with dodges/blocks, a good mind read and some good skill rotations. BUT those instant skills that just appear, are really annoying. An elementalist can give you an instant 4sek stun and you can’t even see it. Because it just appeared after you and before you can react the skill will just kitten you in half.
A Necro has passive procs that just give you a 4 sek fear on hit and a 3sek fear on a stun. You see a necro and the FIRST THING that comes to your mind. Oh god I will eat a 4 second fear again, YEAY, because you can’t even do anything about it.
Geomancy + Doom is the most played sigill atm and ofc because it’s overpowered as hell. You are getting 3 stacks bleeding, 10 seconds by 10 seconds cooldown on weapon switch and 9 seconds on the sigill. It reduces your heal, it does like 3-4k UNDODGABLE Damage. Is that really fair? An engineer have a knockback on 15 seconds cooldown, instant ofc, where he can follow up with everything he want. Which lead me to the next point

Hey,

I am Sam from Made in Meta. Some people may know me, I am playing since beta and played every meta in this game. I think I can say what’s wrong atm, and I hope you guys agree with me. I saw everythng a-net changed and I played after every patch again and again, but now I am tired. I know what you think (another crythread), but I don’t want to cry here. I want to bring you changes and things that need to change very drastically to not let this game die. I love this game, I really do and I were really sad if it ends now.

What I am talking about: This Game is unbalanced (yes I said it)

Start from the very top:

1. Celestial amulett

If you look closely every good team atm stacks celestial amulet in every team. You have the choise from celestial ele, celestial engi and celestial warrior. These are your current choices to play in a very good rating. Maybe some zerker thief, because he is mobile and can carry people or zerker dps guard that can survive for really long and burst something. Every comp needs this classes. Every Team that plays ranger, mesmer, necro has a disadvantage. It’s not that you can’t beat anything with it, but you have disadvantage.
The Celestial Amulett giving you a total 3033 Stats. A Zerker, Cleric or whatever amulett give you 2364 amulet. WHY!? Because kitten you that’s why!
Every class can do Condition Damage, Burst Damage, passive heal (yeay) and CC you a lot. So the opponents need Condition remove that cleanse you 5 Conditions every 10 seconds minimum and aswell need to outheal the 5-6k krits from rifle shots/ele hits per 10 seconds. And that’s only from 1 guy.
I loved the old meta (before the necro trololol patch comes) where you actual need to decide whether you go on power damage or conditions and you really needed to look what’s best for your team. In this celestial meta, it’s that you focus on yourself staying alive and beeing on the target. You don’t need to actual rotate good, because as celestial ele you are good in EVERY fight. A bunker Guardian needs to decide, “am I good in this fight?”" Can I protect someone?" And a celestial guy be like, “their is one guy missing? k lol”.
I am not saying that celestial is a no skill amulet. You still need skill to be on the high tiers, but you can kitten everything that’s not celestial even if you are not as good as your opponent and you don’t need to think so many things as before.

SPVP Tier List

in PvP

Posted by: XSamX.7182

XSamX.7182

S: Elementalist
(Nothing influences the game as this really powerful class. 1 v 1 god, no counter, swiftness for the complete group at start, passive heal like a bozz, combofields + blast finisher, AoE Teamfight Damage + Heals, Condi removal and a lot of boons[2 stabilitys aswell], one of the best mobility, even mobility for your team, nothing more to say)

A: Warrior
(Still really powerful. A Hambow has a rezzbanner, to get teammates up really well. Stability, COMPLETE God mode. AoE Stuns, AoE Burning, long immo, still really powerful in 1 v 1 [except vs ele], combo field and finsisher, passive heal like a bozz)

Thief
(Highest Mobility with elementalist, huge spike damage, invis, shadow refuge in teamfights. 1 v 1 strong, extremely powerful in combination with mesmer, combo fiel + finisher, Stuns and good AoE, can remove stability easily [really annoying])

B: Guardian
(really good AoE Support, teamfight strong, you can hold 1 v 1 forever or really really long, blocks, boons for the team, a little AoE Damage, the only stability for the group, mobility isn’t that great)

Mesmer (A Tier if you combine him with Thief, teamfight strong, 1 v 1 is risky and not really good but sometimes have a chance. Huge Spike Damage, Stealth, Moa, Mobility is good, really good range)

Engineer
(One of the best elites in the game, AoE Burning and other good conds, has good survive, with 2 Blocks + immunity, good range on grenades, combo fields + finisher, stealth, good 1 v 1)

C: Ranger
(Has some good moments, teamfight strong if you build him like that but then he is really bad in 1 v 1, 1 v 1 ok but then he is bad in teamfights. AoE Rezz that can trigger multiple times, can bunker, mobility is ok, range is ok]

Nekro
(Has really good moments aswell, bunkerkiller, 1 v 1 is ok, can bunker a bit with elite, AoE Conds, can remove stability but not as good as a thief, mobility isn’t that good, teamfights are really good [in combination with Engi really destroyable], ok range)

ToG: EU meta vs NA meta

in PvP

Posted by: XSamX.7182

XSamX.7182

No guardian is better. Na meta is better than eu…. CM showed this when they destroyed everyone with an NA like comp

You won’t win a 2v2 if you have a guard in it….
You won’t win a 2v2 if they have a Necro

5 hybrid classes works with less coordination, but you can still achieve a high level of coordination with it to the point that it dominates TCGs comp

I disagree with that. Guard is still very strong. You can play without one in this meta, but when you play with Thief and Mesmer you need the condi clean. Thief + Mesmer is btw the best counter too every hybrid bunker Build. We beat CM with Thief + Mesmer and even CM wants to play Thief Mesmer now.

It doesn’t matter at all which classes you pick and that’s really good atm. You just need good people and a good rotation on your strategy.

I think the EU meta is a little further compared to the NA Meta. We saw in the last tournaments that EU Teams win very constantly vs NA. It’s not like NA has bad people or something, it’s just that they play builds that we would never play in a high PvP bracket and we are playing very very safe. For example look on the close points on NA Tournaments, they are always open and they are just risking so many things we would never do. If we leave a Close point open, there is immediatly a thief that is decapping it and they are just bunkering the other points, making us impossible to ignore that close point. This whole far pushes are risky actions aswell, because if the enemy team has some spike damage, they can instantly win the far push and kitten the mid in the respawn of the other players. EU plays always really save, if we leave a point open, we look for it 24/7 or we send a respawn guy their.

The reason EU plays so many Thief Mesmer Combos are that you are very mobile, you can spike a bunker to zero in like 2 seconds with 2 good players on the positions. You have Moa to kill every bunker aswell and we can do it kitten ton of damage on a downed target. Portal and Shadow Refuge are a huge + aswell!

I played every Meta Build, some in Top Experience, some in lower Rating but I know every Weakness or good Things about the Builds.

Could be a bit of work, but maybe you could make a thread with guides how to play against this meta builds.
I think with help of the Devs your thread could make it under the ones which are the upper ones (ESL or Mistpedia thread for example)

With that you could help a lot of players to become better against builds, they cant beat.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it! I was not thinking about doing guides, but it’s actually a really good idea, so I will go for it. It will take some time, but I think it will be great. It would be a huge help if this thread could go on the top, or get a bit attention, to actually help everyone. I have PvP Friends that can help me teaching other guys aswell, so feel free to ask me anything.

Hello guys,

my name is Sam and I am currently playing in Made in Meta, if you know me from seeing in ToL or ToG, or in the tournaments a year ago, always as Guardian for my team.

I trained a lot of “noob” Teams, helped them to build their strategy and actually get better in some situations, some were just going above the Top 100. It was a lot of fun for me, and I really like to teach anyone here, that actually wants to improve his skill.

I want to offer my help for low ranking teams that want to get better. You can ask me anything you want Ingame (IGN is on the End of the Topic), I played every Meta Build, some in Top Experience, some in lower Rating but I know every Weakness or good Things about the Builds. I am very familiar with the strategys on each map aswell.

It doesn’t matter if you are a single person, to get better knowings in strategy or want to get better in 1 v 1 or what ever you desire. I want to help Teams aswell, to get the right teambuild, classes for each person and a good strategy to form a new Team to get Top 100 or above again.

What you need:

- 4 to 5 People to actually play Tournaments. If you are 4, I can join some matches, showing you tactics, giving you instructions what you can do better and showing you what it’s like to play vs really good teams. If you are 5 People, someone needs to record their matches, or stream their matches that I can watch your matches and say what you can do better. You don’t need to be nervous about me watching every move when you record, I am not blaming anyone for things, I just want to help you.
- Activity
- Potential and Learning spirit, if I tell you something, I actually want to see you improving on that point. Sure you will need some time to get something right, but I need to see that you improve or actually try to change in that way. If I see you doing the same mistake, over and over and over again, it will be difficult.
- German or English Language

- (If you are a single person, just ask me for some time)

What you can expect from me:

- Top 10 Exp
- “Professional” (I don’t like that word, but what ever) help
- No screaming or blaming anyone for doing mistakes or something like that
- Own Custom arena where we can get Scrims (if their are enough teams to sign up) or where I can teach 1 v 1 in a proper way.

Why do I offer this service or why do I start such a topic? I don’t want gold from you, or items, I just do it because I like teaching someone in something I am good. The teams I played with were really kind and fun to play with, they even offered me help for something I am not so good in this game, like PvE Dungeons or what ever they are good in. It’s the little things that count for me in this Project and I just hope we will have fun together.

Ingame Name: M I M Sam (XSamX.7182)

NOTE: I CAN’T HELP EVERYONE! I have a private life ofc, I am doing an Apprenticeship (Is this the right word?) and have things I need to do in my free time aswell. So please don’t be angry if I don’t have enough time for this, or if I need to do appointments.

NOTE2: Sry for my bad english :O.

Gl hf for all

Push, we could really need a good thief, if there is someone. We don’t care about D/P or Pistol whip.

A Fifth one like Warrior or Ranger would be really good aswell.

Hey,

Azani, Mouby and me decided to play again.

Someone maybe know us from the past, we are the original team
If you don’t know Made in Meta, we played when necro wasn’t op, won many tourneys, played versus every team (TCG, TP, NN, Sleepy on NA tourney etc.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lkO0PZhp8E
Or watch Blues Video about the PvP in the past year.

We don’t want to play 24/7 or something, just 1-3x times a week or more (when all want it).

We look for decent players, ranger + warrior would be really great but you can apply as everything, but pls play your main class. Would be a huge plus if we know you.
German would be really good aswell, but isn’t required.

If you want to join us write me ingame

IGN: Holy Monk Sam

or leave me a message here

Hi,

I’ve been looking for a new guild.

Quick facts about me:

> My past guilds was Made in Meta [MiM] and Get Ready Save Glory Boost [GrDy] where I played both for a long time, atm I played many matches with QUIT
> 20 Years old
> Main Class: Guardian, can also play Damage Roamer (every class except ranger)
> Won Curse Tourney, Wartower Tourney, Thilos 3 v 3 Tourney #2, Another 3 v 3 Tourney with Mouby and Olli (against the other 3 MiM member lol) and more
> Played against every top team
> Nationality: German
> Best Ranking: 5 (Idk where I am now, played a lot with friends and yoloq)
> Rank: 51
> Play since beta (still got some Qualifier points if someone care about those)
> Ts3, I stream sometimes

What I am looking for is a team who has fun and maybe wants to play very serious. A German Team would be a huge + but I can speak and play in english aswell. If you want some references you can ask some people for my experience if you want.
If you have any questions or offers just pm me here or ingame.

sPvP Class Tier List: - Updated 6/30

in PvP

Posted by: XSamX.7182

XSamX.7182

Tier S: (Best Class atm)

Nekro

Tier A: (Good and playable classes)

Thief
Ranger
Ele

Tier B: (Ok Classes)

Engi
Guardian

Tier C: (Not really playable atm, but not that bad)

Mesmer

Tier (Bad)

Warrior

This is the actual List, for the top Tournaments. Necro is just destroying everything atm, in 1 vs 1 and in Teamfight, he is just so overpowered it’s not really funny anymore.

Ranger, Thief, Ele are really good, Spirit Ranger have one of the best rezzes atm and are the best close point defender atm, not really much skill needed and you are mobile with sword. The Spirits are good in Teamfights and in 1 vs 1 aswell. If the Ranger is really good he can even beat Necros.

S/D Thief can still solo every class except Necro, he can do a lot damage, is very mobile and you can steal every boon from the party. Good Downstate control aswell.

Ele still very good, because of good spikedamage, heal, pressure, cc, best down control. The Ele is an allrounder that can fill everything, but getting kitten d from necros atm aswell.

Guardian is in every team, but just because you need 1 Bunker for 1 Point and the stability. But atm every necro can outplay guards. They can fear shelter, corrupt boon you safestomps or saverezzes. And you get that much conditions that you can’t remove all even if your build is on complete condi remove.

Engi still good far assaulter, getting kitten d by necro really hard atm, but selfrezz and elite are good in teamfights and a good engi can outplay many. The Knockbacks are really good aswell to decappoints and invis is really good to envade.

Mesmer getting kitten d by the meta atm and got many changes idk why. The Focus pull got nerfed hard, the staff chaos armor aswell. The Mesmer is both, not good versus burst damage and not good versus condi. He getting kitten d by every class atm and the only thing you can do is portal, moa and insta rezz atm with him. The spikes are obvious and he is only good in Teamfight, and he gets kitten d by aoes atm in teamfights.

Warrior don’t need to explain

Looking for a team.
