Guild Wars 2

Sounds more fun than the current cesspool we have.

He probably leveled.

ANET guys,
Is it possible for you to take care of our unofficial GvG spot? I mean – delete all the creatures there, move skill point to other place, make a ground a little bit more flat? You could even make us some kind of tribune for spectators(yes, dreaming).
Cheers!

Video of exactly what happened during this ‘GvG’ as you can see everyone from Ebay’s Spectator hill rushed into vH and an ensuing clusterkitten followed.

Soo confused…

You’re posting a video of you ganking an AFK grp and claiming they’re ganking you?

How embarrassing.

etrigan.4213:

No one cares if you guys are offended or not. The majority of us on FA are bored.

Then maybe, just maybe, you get out from the security of your massive zergs and <GASP> roam!

You know… run around in 15-20 mans instead of 60+man’s….

Or, is having more than the skill and intellect of a neanderthal too much to ask?

I actually signed into my forum account, and I never do, because I KNEW there would be a forum thread about this. GvGs aren’t the point. The point is that Anet, you are getting increasingly detached from your most loyal playerbase day by day. The proof was in that stream. I could not BELIEVE how you guys just ignored the people crying out for a GvG mode. You act like they don’t exist and even act like they detracted from the stream somehow….that stream was crap, to be honest, (some Q&A…..seriously) and it’s incredibly insulting to the hardcore guilds that make up the core of WvW the way you simply ignore us, in a stream for the very gamemode most of us play exclusively. I can’t believe how blind you guys are to this cash cow right under your noses. You try to push sPvP like the plague as an esport where a set GvG mode really has the potential to blow up. How can you not see this? There are so many people involved in this GvG scene with absolutely zero support from you lot. Imagine if you showed the slightest bit of support.

You keep catering to the lazy PVE crowd, the group of players will be gone to another game the second a new shiny one is out. You don’t cater to the people who can see what WvW really could be. We do our best with what we have, but I don’t think you realize, Anet, how GOOD the pvp in this game really is. There is a reason we started playing this game and still are, the few of us PvP people who are left. Most games don’t have pvp that is as good, as interesting, or as diverse as this game’s, less are MMOs. Even lesser still are still available to play. The siege buffs, especially ACs are completely ruining this aspect of the game. Do you seriously think that all the people trying to get you to stop are all trolls?

Believe it or not, whatever sample of the playerbase you have in your testing IS NOT helping WvW. I am trying to tell you. I am trying to warn you. All of us are. They are not representative of the people who play WvW. That much is obvious. The PvP people play this game to actually play the game and fight other groups of players. All people do anymore is sit in towers with siege, this is NOT the game that we love so much. That is spamming 3 buttons and having them be effective because they hit obscenely more targets than anything else, and do more damage than most player groups. How is that rewarding? How does that encourage actually playing the kitten classes in this game?

I am telling you this, because when both groups of people move from this game, the PvErs because of a new carrot and the PvP crowd because of horrible support from you guys, you will be left with no one. “Splitting the zerg” won’t matter. We have all seen what happens to servers when the core WvW guilds just aren’t there. They die. They have no community. The PvP crowd will leave in whole guilds and it will be sudden. The PvErs will leave slower but it will be steady and pick up as time goes along. You will either fix this now or this game is doomed to fail. I sincerely hope you change before you remember this crossroads when it is far too late. That’s my 2 cents and I think that many of the WvW crowd would agree with what I am saying.

Awesome builds variety.

I think this boils down to sore losers. “Waaahh, my ppt is low, I should blame something”

Do you all cry when losing towers also?

Furiousbeard.7602:

You’re making it a battle within the community Flute. You are blaming gvg players for poor ppt.

Yep, lets blame the one guy who doesn’t lack common sense.

Not sure if serious.

Totally.

So in your opinion, the guy who thinks T1 is built on planning and skill compared to the other tiers, not coverage and population, is the only one with common sense? That’s strange.

Isn’t anet discouraging GvG already by not implenting an instance to do so? There’s a reason why people rather move to a place, far away from objectives connected with the points. It’s getting boring, GvG is the only thing that keeps WvW alive.

Arya.9021:

You may have “invented” you’re own content, but it’s messing with the actual gameplay that Anet intended.

What gameplay? I haven’t seen much in WvW beyond mass zerging in a while and Anet has stated over and over that they didn’t intend that and want to discourage that. They even said a ways back the best way to play would be to have three or so groups of 25 roaming around doing things. So let me see … in a GvG we have two opposing groups of around that number fighting each other. That sounds pretty intended. It’s not our fault that Anet is bad at design and can’t figure out how to encourage the zergs to play more like us.

Sil.4560:

just confirming that there are groups on Ehmry who just roam and fight. I could personally care less about most of the objectives.

It sure seems like the server that is losing says this a lot…

GvG is pretty much the only decent thing to do in WvW at the moment.

Don’t worry though OP, you and your kind get some fancy pants Treb mastery soon, yeah boi.

Siege is lame, ANET please delete it.

PPT is lame, ANET, please delete it.

Yeah, unfortunately I don’t visit our server website as much as I should.

I’ll do better. GF will do better =]

Thesilentflute.8761:

Lol in our match up this week “GvG” caused us to lose a whole map we were wiped off of it. Yesterday during another it caused TC to lose there T3 garry because they were "GvG"ing when they had the people to defend it on that map.

Rednick don’t say your one of those guys because if you were you wouldn’t be ok with destroying your own work and further more if you are a real wvw you know that these changes can change the outcome of a wvw match up delegitimizing your effort; if you guys manage to ever win again.

Lastly the only thing blah blah blah blah I’m talking out my fanny blah blah blah.

No one cares about PPT or some keep with upgraded walls that can be reacquired in an hour. You’re a fun killer.

sounds like a fix to me

PvErs shouldn’t be able to collect their badges of jumping.

Inb4 fracking achievement chests….

Blix.8021:

GvG is way more important to this game’s community than idiotic tower flipping, sorry

This.

Neeho.3859:

Is this WvW, or sPvP, or both?

sPvP can suck a fat kitten IMHO

Eh. I think people are just having “learn to play” issues. Necros were non-factor before, but now they have to deal with them.

I’ve seen people kill themselves by voluntarily walking into my Spectral Wall over and over everytime the Fear wears off. That really isn’t a fault of the “meta” is it?

I hope any incoming balancing is done based on high level and skilled gameplay, rather than on feedback of people who haven’t learn proper counters. It isn’t hard to walk around marks, wells, and walls, and the supposedly OP 30/30/10/0/0 build has practically no survivability and no disengage. There are many weaknesses in the build, just like every other glass cannon build, and against players who know when and where to strike a necro, there are still plenty of fair and extremely fun and exciting fights to be had.

Lol….
I won in a tpvp match against 4 necros and 1 guard.
I had a Mesmer,ranger,warrior and a thief on my team. My team were randoms btw.

I don’t play because the conquest mode is boring as kitten. And also because there is no rewards or anything fun in winning or playing… You get pvp skins and thats it. In gw1 you could at least use faction to buy zkeys and sell them for semi good profits.

Who really gives a kitten? As long as they can’t admit that their crappy conquest mode is just plain wrong, the game remains the nonsense it is atm.

weakness: 50% on all attacks
