This thread. It amuses me. I love that apparently only HOD has no skill yet when they post videos/images of them taking on harder odds… apparently it doesn’t count. Good stuff.
Games over the interwebs are the best.
Hod is about 50% necros atm, so them beating the odds isn’t really that amazing.
Additionally, every server has skilled players, and the bad ones tend not to post videos. So don’t put too much importance on some roamers posting stuff on Youtube, no matter what server they are from.
Depending on who you ask, we’re 50% necros, 50% guardians, 50% mesmers, or 50% rangers. I think i’ve seen all of them applied to us. That’s like, 200% No wonder we beat the odds!
To your second point, that essentially proves my point I was trying to make. It’s entirely pointless who argue about “skill”. The sole purpose of talking about skill is to bait people into forum warrioring. In the end, every server has skill, every server lacks skill. Every time skill is shown, it’s usually ignored if someone is convinced they know all that there is to know about the topic.
The people are estimating how many necros they have seen in comparison to other people on your server, and it seems that there are a lot of people that run necros on your server. Is that hard to understand? The semantics of the exact percentage of necros that are running around in WvW on your server is silly to even bring up into a discussion because nobody knows those figures and it would be a pain for anybody to even attempt to research those figures other than somebody at arenanet, and it would likely be a very safe bet to make, that the amount of necros playing on HoD in WvW is not a huge talking point at arenanet.
A lot of players on HoD are playing Necro. Simple, true, and you can’t scrutinize the semantics of a “guess-timation.” If you need me to simplify more things for you to understand, just send me a whisper in game and I’ll help you out.
“Hod is about 50% necros atm, so them beating the odds isn’t really that amazing.”
I don’t care what the percentage estimate is, I don’t care what the class is, my point was apparently no matter what class we supposedly run more of, beating the odds apparently isn’t amazing, because we run whatever class they happened to see a lot of. Feel free to explain my flaws to me, I play under the same name normally.
Well there is this term called FOTM, it stands for flavor of the month. The current FOTM in gw2 is the necro class, I don’t run necro so I don’t know the build(s) that are the FOTM, but there are certain skills, traits and combinations that allow the necro to be too powerful, due to the most recent update that buffed them. This happens in nearly every update, they wouldn’t do skill re-balancing every month if the skills were perfectly balanced.
As you may know, if you play any game with a character that has an inherent advantage over the other characters/classes in the game, then your feats aren’t as highly praised as you would like them to be. If you have a lot of people saying “You guys run a ton of ‘x class’ in WvW” and it’s a different class each time, then you should see what the FOTM is. It’s likely that a lot of people on your server reroll to the FOTM in order to do what they are doing, better. It’s a smart tactic, but seen as less honorable, or in this case, less amazing.
