How is it every one here is complaining about new stability changes while my guild goes out every night and continues to wipe bigger numbers. If anything the new stability changes are welcomed and make things more fun, and frankly people don’t know how to adapt. Everyone wants to press stability and walk through a melee bomb without a scratch. Hit the sides, go in go out, don’t expect to get away with your kittenty style of play anymore because you WILL get punished for it.

You guys like that pirateship crap. I can’t stand it but despite that we’ll end up having to follow like everyone else because it’s the ONLY viable way to raid / gvg now. With old stab there were a ton of different styles to choose from.

We don’t try to pirate ship but lately we have had small front line so we do what we can. Currently trying to get a couple more front line right now. What we have been doing is baiting our enemies first stab then leaping in after it’s done leaving them to sit there wondering what to do.

Here was the last fight we had with you on the day of Stability change for an example.

yea that’s what we were told but whether or not you guys intentional did it or just naturally happened that way. That ranged comp is the meta right now.

I remember that fight but it wasn’t a matter of burning our 1st rotation of stab it was a matter of 3 down syndrome melee no dodging out of such an obvious bomb.

And not to discredit the video but none of those fights involved the FA level blobs we’ve been fighting since the change. Prior to the change our 15 man “balanced” comp had no problem taking on 2 guilds or map queues and sustaining for atleast 2+ mins before getting blobbed out. Now all stab cool downs are done within the first 10 seconds. We don’t expect to win massively outnumbered fights but with the old stab we tested our sustain and sometimes pulled out the win but now it’s next to impossible. We’ll see what happens when we get the people for a ranged comp.

+1

The stab change has a smaller impact on GvGs but it has had a huge impact on raiding / zerg busting. My guild has always been on the smaller side ( running 15-18 a night ) and under the old stab system we could take out guilds / pug blobs twice sometimes 3 times our size, depending on the terrain or how we engaged etc.

Now it’s near impossible because bigger groups just blob us down. Smaller engagements are much more manageable but zerg busting, what we found the most entertaining aspect of wvw, is depressing. Yes, changing certain strategies / comps, swapping to full cancer ranged meta, makes it more manageable but my fun and I think I speak for alot of melee out there, came from having a really aggressive melee. Big melee pushes into blobs and coming out alive if my 7 other melee were all on point.

Yes stab was a really strong boon but it had maybe a 70% uptime. Soft CC ( chill, immob, cripples etc ) and ranged pressure made melee fights/pushes dynamic. Melee were immune to hard CCs for small burst of time but were constantly susceptible to everything listed above. You could have 10 years of stab but one missed dodge out of a bomb and you’re dead. One good chill field or immob spike from an enemy melee, or caster boon rip and you’re dead. So melee could vary their playstyle and get different results depending on how they pushed. Now melee are forced to be passive because stab is gone 5 seconds into a push. Idk about other melee but that is boring to me.

I’m slowly adapting my driving style to this new stab but it disappointing to see an entire playstyle deleted.

I have no idea who are you to talk for CD and you’re talking as you know how we are and what our plays are like , you can talk from your server prespective which i don’t really care for because they are totally different from each other..where our wvw guilds are oriented on being openfield/gvg guilds and yet have balance between that and PPT but it gets boring when you face server that actually don’t fight.

P.S pvf forums pls respond to my gvg request, i saw someone’s post say TC/PAL/TUNE gvg ?..been over 6 weeks and didnt get 1 gvg out of YB lol

From your post i take it that i know nothing about your server’s playstyle while you seem to know ours.

It takes an expert to know how YB plays ? even the servers that haven’t faced YB knows how they play+ you won the most annoying server to face vote with a pretty good lead lol …just go man an AC , stop posting.

QQ man
Just because we play WvW the as it was designed and meant to be play.
Not our fault you guys still don’t get the concept of WvW, but seeing as how you got totally dominated by DB and YB, you guys don’t stand a chance in T2.
That one week not only did you got rekt, we got to see the true side of CD, full of fairweathers and just a vocal minority that uses the forums wanting to hit T2, that would have killed the server in the long run, all it took was a week of DB and YB to see them running back to PvE.

lol YB chest thumping about PPT? You realize that the PPT system is the whole reason wvw is slowly dying.

I don’t care what server moves up but this game needs fight guilds to organize so the only skill oriented playstyle wvw has to offer doesn’t die out and T2 is the perfect place for it. It’s an established gvg/fight oriented tier with blobs and raiding/gvg guilds. With no gvg mode and no wvw support whats so ever this game is slowly devolving into PPT heros chest thumping on their ACs.

Just like last week, this week for us on FA Wvw is pointless and unplayable. We are against TC and We are simply getting spanked like its our birthday’s. Rumor has it next week we face a server that can take TC in WvW fights. So if thats true, That will be the third week playing WvW will be impossible. Man I gotta find a different server if I wanna play WvW anymore.

are you trying to out PPT T1 servers? lol Seasons has been great for fight guilds. T1 Blobs to farm + new guilds to gvg. If you want fair PPT matches then you’re better off moving down a couple of tiers bro.

Why would someone get interested to be on your “T2 Dance” to end up in some disaster like the actual T2 is?

T2 isn’t really a disaster. It’s just stale now. Before the gvg scene collapsed we were constantly fighting different guilds, adapting our comps, strategies, play style etc. My guild improved exponentially from fighting those guilds. Unfortunately, those core gvg guilds ( Agg, NS, Ark, HOPE, EP, NaCl, TE, Apex ) that made the scene competitive got bored and tired of Anet’s complete refusal to support a gvg mode and wvw in general ( EOTM and colored tags after 2 years uhmmm what? )

If T2 got an influx of new guilds then it would have a solid chance to come back to life. And lets face it by the time a GvG mode is created, if ever, there won’t be any competitive guilds left to use it. So if any guilds are looking to get serious and want to test themselves I definitely recommend organizing, either here or on gw2wvw.net, to move up and revive T2.

Honestly, as much as I hate YB, YB has a solid ppt core so fight/gvg guilds wouldn’t need to worry about it.

From a server perspective -
I think the most effective way to “Quick” fix the population imbalance would be either server mergers or some type of alliance system. Server mergers would have to be down based on coverage ( server X has OCX, server Y doesn’t etc. ) An alliance system could maybe work but I have no idea how one could be implemented successfully and not slowly devolve into the situation we have now. Yea server merges aren’t desirable because of server pride and server community issues, but I think it would promote bigger WvW communities and help WvW sustain itself alittle longer. Atleast until Anet is able to make some significant changes to the system.

Please do not implement any type of megaserver (EOTM) system. Honestly EOTM should be removed completely and broken down into 3 new maps ( Jungle theme, Desert theme, tundra theme or 1 new map with alternating themes ). The extra maps would allow these condensed servers or alliance match-ups to spread out across more BLs keeping queues low.

From a guild perspective -
A gvg mode would be awesome. It would mean guilds, who are actively seeking to improve , wouldn’t be forced to transfer to higher tiers. Whether that’s expanding on the current OS or creating a 15v15 or 20v20 arena based system ( allowing pve builds/ no build restrictions ) It would certainly bring people back to the game and maybe get more guilds interested in a more competitive environment.

Still looking for:
Guards

If any guilds are looking to make a push to T2 this is the place to come. FA has a strong and large core WvW community with a wide variety of play styles. FA community forum is active and is one of the few places where I’ve seen guilds help each other improve. Whether you like raiding, gvgs, roaming, ppting, FA is the place for you!

This has been a great match up so far <3

I too have been in PHAZE while now and it’s been a blast. Whether it’s WvW or speedy dungeon runs we got what you need. We’re always looking for more like-minded gamers to join us in our fight to bring Glory to the Henge! =P

Hey Armonia if you’re still looking for a guild

I few of my buddies and I just started a guild called (The Principality Of Zeon) on (Henge of Denravi). We just recently decided to start recruiting new members so we only have about 6 members total with another 3-4 more getting the game next week. We all know each other from playing Xbox and DCUO on the PS3 so we are definitely more on the casual side but overall we are all pretty well rounded when it comes to PvE, sPvP and WvW.

So if you’re interested just hit me up on here or in game (Auto Strafe)

Thanks

Home World: Henge Of Denravi
Guild Name: The Principality of Zeon

Quick Notes:
-We are a casual newly formed guild
-We are really laid back and like to have fun, but can be very competitive when it comes to sPvP or any type of PvE content.
