Guild Wars 2

I know your pain CD… I left SoS because we got matched up with TC for 6 weeks.

Ironically, the day after I transferred to JQ we got matched up with TC. >_>

Darn.. I was hoping TC would replace SoR

Looks like Maguumas heading to T2

T1 bro. Maguuma is #1 server NA

Osry. My b

Apparently DB is imploding though.

IF SO I WOULD BE ASHAMED TO BE LOSING SO BAD TO JQ

Looks like Maguumas heading to T2

I HEARD SoR IS IMPLODING IS IT TRUE

I HEARD DRAGONBRAND IS IMPLODING IS IT TRUE

I’m sure ANET intends to..

Right ANET? crickets

MagiKarp.8201:

SoR’s motto:

We mad.

They must have borrowed it from BG who was using it last week

Eh, if I remember correctly, the meta in GW1 was a balanced team. However, not everyone ran a balanced team and there was a ton of success. Spike teams, pressure teams, (hexway), or troll teams (lichway, anyone?). Either way there will always be a meta, doesn’t mean you have to use it to be successful.

On the small scale there is a meta.

what if the Outnumbered buff gave that server the ability to take reduced AC damage?

OR

the buff gave the outnumbered server the ability to deploy arrow carts controlled by an npc (assuming bugs are minimal/nonexistent [lul]).

SoR’s new reality show ad..

Alcohol Addiction: It could happen to your server.

I hated skyhammer at first, too. Then I learned how to make it benefit me. <3’s it

What if they gave rangers their superior interrupting abilities back? That could be interesting. Dshot, anyone?

My ideal meta is when there is no profession with incredibly high damage, neither condition or power.

In my ideal meta, raw damage can’t kill a thing without the pressure provided by conditions, while conditions can’t kill a player without raw damage.

In my ideal meta, strong skills are slow and highly telegraphed and all professions have access to tools to interrupt them.

In my ideal meta, you can drop a guardian to take another profession as a bunker.

In my ideal meta, CCs are short-lasting but with low cooldowns, pretty much like thief’s headshot. Every profession should have access to one or two long-lasting CCs at best on high cooldown.

In my ideal meta, if I want to play burst damage, I’m not forced to pick either a Mesmer or a Thief and if I want to play conditions, I’m not forced to pick a Necro, or a Engineer or a Ranger.

I agree with a lot of what you just said (most of it actually). The only 2 things I disagree with are in regards to interrupts and necros/conditions. I do not think every class should have easy access to interrupts, they should be centralized around mesmers (and if you ever played GW1, mesmers were the definition of interrupts). Mesmers in pvp were renowned for their skills at interrupting. You had to time your interrupts on key skills. It was all about precision. It was a very skilled role.

As for what you said about necros/conditions, well, necros have also been known for their inherent affinity towards condition control. They should have better incentives for using them/controlling them.

Other than that, HUGE +1

Edit: had to spellcheck

If SoR imploded (which I doubt will happen), they would all bandwagon to TC anyway. So they would show up.

TC is sexy. Can I bandwagon to them too?

I don’t think you RP enuff

Err, aren’t orrian the same as Encrusted?

Glass power everything.

Sounds like it could be fun in theory. But everyone would just be 1-shotting everything. It would get old quick lol

Not really. Every class has dodges, invulnerabilities, blocks, etc. that allows them to avoid a very large number of attacks if used properly. If everyone were glass power, how long a fight lasted would be determined by how good the players were, rather than by their build.

Wouldn’t one glass thief backstab crit insta-down a glass ele? No recovery from that :/

Being able to talk to the “enemy” needs to stay. I’ve met a lot of great people through it and it makes the ‘World’ feel a lot less constricted.

Maguuma or Sea of Sorrows would be the servers to look at. They don’t need to field big zergs to make things happen.

Yes, the title says it all.

What is your ideal meta or a meta you would like to see happen? Are you waiting for the demise of the faceroll necros and spirit rangers? Or are you happy with the current meta? (Lol).

Can’t you just guest the server to play sPvP with those people.. lol. I doubt top ranked sPvP’ers spend a ton of time in WvW.

Transferring is guesting for Agg. Best guild NA thinks on a completely different level.

[zQ] disagrees with your statement, good sir!

You think how agg thinks is on the normal level? o.O

It was a subtle jab (poking fun) at the first half of that last sentence

It was just a joke, but in all seriousness she listens and gives feedback and for that I <3 her.

Daecollo.9578:

Why have templates when every class has 1-2 builds?

If we had a better trait system I could see this happening, however as it is now such a feature is not needed, an elementalist will always be X/X/X/X/30 for example.

For now yes. To say forever, hardly. Anet may take time to rebalance, but they will eventually put more emphasis on it. We waited quite some time back in GW1, but they would go through bursts of balancing updates and trust me, they aren’t afraid to shake things up.

Hey boo,

I was suspended on the forums (irrelevant) but I’m back now, so I can make this request from you. A few threads ago you asked us if templates would help out.

The answer is yes, yes yes YES!!

We had them in GW1 and they were a must have! Especially for organized team play. I miss being able to click “Load template” and BOOM the build I feel like playing appears quickly so my index finger isn’t experiencing a seizure trying to retrait.

Please tell them to put it in thanks hunny bunny!

eithinan.9841:

Where is Bunzy? Isn’t he the one who used to troll his own server when he was on mags? So where is AGG going after they gut maguuma?

Last time I heard about him, he was in VR (possibly new guild leader???).

As for next Agg’s target, this might be Anvil Rock – best sPvP server NA.

It would appear I’m no longer banned from the forums.

You really have no respect for people whom actually want to play a game. GvG is a PvP structure. Take it there you fanboys.

Define respect? When/where did you earn it in GW2?

Who wants to play the game as intended? You?

What else do you have for us to lampoon?

You’re not providing constructive feedback. Therefore, this post shall be deleted.

problematic.9623:

Sorry…agree Ogre. Reported the offending posts and moving on.

You’re just reporting ALL of our posts. Trolling us for not agreeing with you is inflammatory.

something
…
Quit trying to remake something that was already invented, and not to mention
perfected.
…
something other

It’s all great except we are not trying to invent or remake anything. For the 1000th and I hope last time:

1. GvG is a generic term. If you don’t like it being used for whatever other than GW1 GvG – deal with it.
2. There’s no inheritance between “real” GvG and “Nancy”, and we don’t feel like there should be any. GW2 GvG was evolved naturally as a community thing, solution to the problem of wild WvW open field where you control nothing, neither numbers on both sides of the fence, nor any participant behavior. So results of fights in the open always were and still are heavily disputable.
3. If GW2 GvG will evolve to something else than above – that’s great. But there’s no urgency or necessity in that. Because we are not aspiring to any other game’s any other mode. We just do what we find both fun and competition in. Both in the open and by the mill.

Ugh, you just had to say “Nancy” and make me laugh. (I did smile irl reading that).

At the end of the day though, in all srs bsns, since GW2 is supposed to be the successor, it isn’t logical to use the name from it’s predecessor’s highest pvp format when the skill gap is as large as it is.

We all know that GW GvG required a much higher level of individual and group skill than any pvp format in GW2. Anet made it that way on purpose to broaden the audience in GW2. A great example is LoL to HoN. HoN is more hardcore / skill reliant, but LoL has a much larger playerbase/audience as it’s easier to pick up and play. We get that. However, it is still a lack of respect for the people who did play and compete for years. It’s like comparing T-ball to the Major leagues.

Arya.9021:

Find a new name for GvG. Call it Zerg v Zerg. You can’t call a guild number one just because they were better button mashers than the latter. Try making a custom arena in tPvP. At least there you will have a controlled environment with an actual objective in the midst. Maybe then we GW1 GvG players will stop pointing out the flaws in your gameplay mechanics. You’re trying to incorporate something into a new game, but you’re just making it worse. You’re “ranking” system is flawed as all get out. You should take a few pointers from GW1, yanno? The birth game to GW2. Hence the same name, right? AT least GW1 GvG took real skill/strategy/know how/positioning. Quit trying to remake something that was already invented, and not to mention perfected. Stick to the basics. Maybe then Anet will see what potential adding GvG to PvP will have. Try actually molding the GW2 GvG after GW1. You will actually have a starting place then. All I see are a bunch of tryhards whom missed out on their gold trim in gw1, so now they think they can just remake the concept of it all. Try again, please. At the most, all I see is maybe a really bad copy of GW1 HA. 321 spike. Not to mention, you’re causing terrible upset to actual WvW players waiting in queue to WvW. Since yanno, that’s where you are trying to do this.

I think I love you.

some fun fights tonighttttt

Hattrick.7065:

LOL. People are already calling implosion again? I guess if you predict it every time, you will eventually be right.

same thing was said about us when we got bumped down into t2/3.

Hexxed.8023:

Typical FA laughing when 8 of them kills me solo. You’re so good! Dat 8v1 rofl.

FA gets so excited when they kill something. It doesn’t happen often

I’d take a look at SoS. It seems they’ve been gaining a lot of attention lately for how much fun it is to be there

Tarkus.4109:

Hoots.9564:

I have to admit though, a selfish part of me would love to see Merc return to SoS with AGG and raise SoS back to its former glory. Good luck with your issues BG!

In all respect, that’s not going to happen. I can guarantee only a few things and thats one of them.

Wotah.2975:

Did the one person fall out of the tower to his death?

Nah Pale dies from his own retal all the time he’s that squishy, I wonder how that was even possible.

unless BG implodes, then you’ll jump ship right?

I say Sea of Sorrows would be the best fit. Or possibly Crystal Desert. Maguuma has strong players also but lately has been getting horribly lopsided matchups. I know Ehmry had an exodus of guilds lately so they could probably use some help as well. Never played against Borlis so I don’t know much about them.
