Increase damage needed to rally off somebody

in WvW

Posted by: Dranul.2094

Dranul.2094

Personally, I think you should only rally if you make the killing blow on an enemy, rather than if the enemy dies.

This would have zero impact on solo roaming, and would promote more active rezzing in team fights

No, just no. This would make it a numbers win game. Rather than with tight play being able to beat 2, 3 times your number. Would make open field vs zergs a lost cause. One or two of your guys caught, you have to manually red .. you’d lose a lot attempting rez.

Coming from a wvw guild I’m quite surprised by your view. Rallies aren’t the best system but removing it would kill guild vs mass numbers. Literally grinded down.

I remember taking the kitten with siege wars 2. Fooling around with guildies and saying watch this space cata mastery treb mastery ram mastery golem mastery. It just shows the team are out of touch with their own game. Proof was in the pudding when half dozen or so visited my server. My faith is dwindling, so much potential, yet they blind fan boys with fluff and no substance.

Question for anet, why hasn’t the imbalanced stat buff from orbs been applied to out manned? Can you explain..

Doesn’t work with golems Grimwolf. Which is a flawed system. I’ve seen people jump in golems and Waypoint to other BL – instant kill of Golem …. sorry if your trolls find this out via me, but it’s common sense.

I’ve had 5 golems – along time ago, taken by a troll that way.

Saaaab do you even read the thread, or better yet the site?

We adapted it, added OUR own rules, it’s called Asuraball and can be done in SPVP – completely our additions. I made a forum, we hosted the arena, we got in touch with dozens of guilds about it. So I named my site Unlikely? who cares aside from you.

The credit for the initial form of the game is Mya’s noted here and on site. We adapted it, I made the site? What’s your problem??

Trolls will be trolls I guess. It’s like inventing the wheel, then being kitten ed off for someone inventing a car.

If you didn’t know/pay attention the forefathers are actually on my site and eager to play.

Kudos to Team tonight for sticking it to us in a 20-10 defeat for TUP.

Dranul.2094

Yes As I mention, over 4 classes have short cast time, short CD rez. Why should 100 people who can’t beat half their number, with siege, get rewarded by being able to rez the lord over FIFTY times. On top of the kitten circle reseting <<big issue with that.

While it was fun, it got a bit repetitive killing the champ that many times :P

Dranul.2094

Ye but when its 40-50+ guys (2 separate guild raids) vs entire zone of 100 and FOUR classes all are equipping the rez, with the lord being rezzed ALL the time, on top of the progression bar (RESETING) keeping them out of the circle is a challenge in itself – keeping them over 1200ft away from a lords body AND having to start a fresh progession bar each time (it used to stay as filled as u got it!) is borderline ridiculous. How do you stop 100 lemmings throwing themselves at you.

While I like the concept of ressing him for small groups – the progression circle never used to reset. It does these days. Its just another mechanic that rewarded having the bigger force. Sure they can feel like winners for keeping the garrison, we enjoyed the farm. Doesn’t make it right or working as intended though.

It almost felt like cross realming the amount of champ bags we were getting. I like he should get immunity to being ressed after 3-4 times, then has to be manual “F”. Just a thought. As it got kinda ridiculous after the 50+ times.

Grabs Popcorn.

I see our brothers in war, Gandara and FSP have been blessed with beastly opposition. ER as memory serves correct the first server I encountered that had mega blobs. Ah fond memories. Hows the action?

For the most part both german servers we have the pleasure of being against, get their PPT and then cease being aggressive, not a great matchup for roaming guilds. In prime time however AG sticks it to em both, when in reality we should be getting crushed.

What I would give for servers with the mentality of Augury Rock, Underworld. They fight tooth and nail for everything. I feel almost dirty fighting karma farmers.

I also miss my prince.

Dranul.2094

AvA u gvg? 15v15 20v20?

To lemoncurry – was more the whole primetime, I appreciate the german servers tend to die off in activity earlier than others due to timezone. It felt like both AM and Kodash didn’t have an aggressive bone in their body on AM BL last night. They were both happy sitting in their 1/3rd. Once we took NE tower and distracted a huge amount of AM kodash took Bay. Other than that we skirmished 3 maybe 4 times against the Kodash number and AM stayed North. Very lacklustre, missed the usual aggression from enemies. Especially when both had much bigger groups.

Was a good test though, rough at times but none the less a good challenge.

Could we get a reply from Devon please. In relation to why the UNDERDOG/OUTMANNED buff isn’t the orb stat bonus. Rewarded/balancing out the outmanned against “best” (in English, most populated) servers.

Bringing in stat bonuses to the zerg, will lead to more zerging. These skill less folks aren’t what WvW is about. You are giving no love to the guilds at all.

Maybe you can give a straight answer – guild halls/guild battles like from gw1 any intention of implementing something substantial for guilds? Again that doesn’t mean guild missions and pve fluff.

Perhaps on the US servers its different but at least in EU, rewarding coverage and the big zergs with more = fail. Ill thought out idea.

We were there too enjoying our share of the kill fest. We DID kill the players over and over and over again, every 3mins they could Waypoint back in, and they had their entire zone in there.

Every ELE, Necro, Guardian and warrior was using signets/banner to res the lord. 60+ Rezzes easily. When a warrior runs in with endure pain and stability and casts his banner its hard to stop, when your already trying to keep the ring clear of foes.

PS the ring progression reseting on lord rez is soooo bad. When its that easy and often to rez. Sometimes he was getting ressed 3 or 4 times every 5mins easily.

I think I racked up several hundred if not over a 1000 kills though.

TUP thanks AM for the fight of garrison. Quite heroic defending there. Anet need to implement a fix on the champ rezzing though, I think I got 20+ champ loot bags, he must of been rezzed 60+ times.

Fairplay banners, signet necros, eles, guardians all throwing themselves to res the lord. Endless stream of bodies. Quite insane there. Alas I made one bad call after we were last in keep and got my guys wiped but otherwise insane.

To the kodash blob (need a new term to define mass of players) Surprised with your number how you sat in your third and did not a great deal, was a shame. Got some action in drips and draps when we provoked your spawn tower but alas no real action.

Aside from the big numbers two or three times, few defeats few wins, but why build superior acs and a lot of em when you outnumber your enemy 2-1? Curious.

Crazy amount of loot, hundreds of bags missed during the first 30+ mins of garrison as my bags were full

Anet needs to look at the champ rezzing or atleast why the circles progression resets… 60+ resses is a bit extreme Keep it up guys was fun.

Server Match up is terrible

in WvW

Posted by: Dranul.2094

Dranul.2094

I don’t agree with best beating scrubs. The higher up you go in general, the worse they are. Underworld commander zergs provided much more competition than anything I’ve seen for their size, that includes tier 2 Eu. It’s the simple fact of the higher you go, they care more about points and run as huge zone blobs. By playing only in this way, they don’t improve and end up having to stick to the huge blob. A 20+ guild will easily wipe 40-50+ from these so called winning servers.. it’s why they run 80+

Alas the win at all costs bullkitten. Now there is talk of properly rewarding winning servers.. will make things worse. Next orbs for the pvd servers.

Server Match up is terrible

in WvW

Posted by: Dranul.2094

Dranul.2094

In part we, the players are to blame for the differences in servers. Tier does not equal skill, period. Only mindset and coverage/population.

The difference between the guys that look for fights and those that seek to earn WXP and ‘win’ the match is staggering. It’s like we are playing 2 different games. One side lives and dies for the action. The other seeks to move as big a blob as possible, no interest in playing for fights, just karma train objectives.

Until this simply fact is addressed.. some method of penalizing zerg play to discourage it, to get people to want to fight more the horrible imbalance will continue.

IMO servers should be segregated. The 9/12 servers that obsess about points play each other, the others who play for fights only play similar minded foes. Yes give free xfers.. allow guilds to keep influence etc.

Blobs cause unplayable lag, the huge blobs I mean. Where it becomes a case of numbers not skill. For guilds that run 15-30+ strive to work on teamwork and to challenge themselves against these points obsessed folks lag takes away our fun.

Why should easymoding and cowardly behaviour.. 100 holding hands be rewarded? A poor argument is you can blob too.. why? For even more lag? No challenge and certainly no fun.

Take my reset, abbadon and kodash. Abbadon ran as a single entity on kodash BL, 100 of them, you could literally feel the lag. Kodash trying to defend their BL had a 60+ counter blob, leaving Aurora Glade with it’s 3 seperate forces at a minimum outnumbered 3-1 if not over 5-1. Servers can’t handle blobbing up. It is my firm belief WXP made these trains 100000% worse and more common, max reward minimal effort, american style.

Mindset of the easymoders will not change, people who enjoy fights won’t change. Anet has to change it for us. Seperate the tiers the servers point players get on 9-12 servers, the guys who actually enjoy using abilities, teamwork, challenge, not what WXP rank we are on the rest.

@Chefdiablo, allowing an objective which in all probability will be able to have siege/defensive position to give a extreme bonus to the side holding it, doesn’t just affect guilds after GvG. It affects roaming guilds, roaming individuals, people who play this game solely for the epic fights to be had. At a guess I’d say less than 33% of players give a rats right testicle about points and server ranking. It’s obvious during each week which servers come out and fight tooth and nail, and which PVD and have about as much skill as green recruits into game even after 11months.

So to buff say by 150 to all stats for sieging up a location and zzzz having ppl sit there on siege defending it. It will KILL roaming for small scale.

I’ve always said the OUTMANNED buff should be +stats while the “orb” should be FLUFF meaningless to people to who care about fights, but worthwhile to the folks who don’t actually fight, like +MF +Gold +XP +WXP +Karma

But no they won’t think about giving the underdog an even playing field… Wouldn’t make sense no sir.

@Problematic – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dT3cmZKd8pg They have spent a few hours on 2 or 3 servers in EU yes. Just running around like headless sheep, no better than the average EB zergling. We had invited them to join us for a guild drunken warband night, alas turned down on that occasion.
Offer still stands though Devon Carter Let me know a night towards end of august your available (ideally European prime time till late) and you can come experience a guild raid :-D

Orbs will destroy GvG as mentioned. Unless you can rig it with friends on other servers to have the 3rd party server have the buff, so the 2 enemy guilds can duke it out.

Stat bonuses for PVE objectives is pointless. Rewards people who play in the biggest blobs. Rewards servers who like to lay siege everywhere. Picture trying to take back “the orb area” defended by 10+ SUP ACs

WvW is meant to be about player vs player, realm vs realm. Quit the objectives, do something about zerg play. If you need suggestions ask, guilds have plenty of ideas. Handholding, cowardly play, lag inducing play (your servers cant handle it) should be penalised.

Why so many changes to everything BUT wvw?

Posted by: Dranul.2094

Dranul.2094

Hey Damon Carver, while I’ve known of the rework of the orb concept and the central lake change for awhile could you please please please have it so that it’s guild/combat friendly. Not more bonus for just running as a skill less, lag inducing 100 man blobs (yes they exist and yes plenty of servers do this as they can’t fight).

For a start, with no idea what the terrain will look like, can you look at penalising running in such blobs, like reduce the wxp/karma when attacking empty things or when you attack things with 4x as many ppl as there are defenders. Reward the defenders reward being out manned. Penalise the skill less, mind less zerglings. As they only run around for their precious karma and WXP.

It is wrong that WvW guilds with 10x or more kills than zerglings are penalised by these zerglings having double or triple the WXP rank and thus bonuses to their blobby ways, instant build ACs etc.

The game needs to be more about fighting, less about PVD, upgrades on objectives could do with a look at. Scale the door HP to number of attackers. Penalise poor brain dead play.

Posted by: Dranul.2094

Dranul.2094

Belated but my 2 cents on the ratings.. It’s a hugely flawed system as one can influence point gain and loss of others. TUP for example could input our results and take several hundred points off certain guilds, causing a shift of several places. Not a true representation. It’s all we have though. I liked the idea of a 3 month rolling reset.

The game has come along way since us V RG in January. You will always find TUP up for gvgs on the days we have set aside for them, you won’t find us on that list, I’m too old for EPN we fight always for fun.

Banish with traits 20s (traited) and having 5 per team make it fine, its mostly about teamwork and not wasting your hits (dodge/esc) to cancel your hit if a teammate has it.

Its based off Bollaball by mya – but uses SPVP so ALL can play each other, on same server… on a server that will never encounter someone you wish to fight, not a problem with SPVP arena.

Fast easy to set up and doesn’t need to worry about who your opponents are in WvW.

By time I joined around 2 or so hours into reset, it was apparent that the lag on map due to the numbers was quite horrendous at times.

We take whatever is infront of us, you defending your homeland against on one hand huge numbers running as one, the other hand a few small groups looking for fights, was a unfortunate blend.

We took our fair share on the chin tonight, the only downside is the lag certain sized amounts bring, can’t press anything more than 1,1,1,1 leads to no reliable teamwork of casting xyz etc, makes it difficult to say the least.

I think they brought the big one for your BL, the other BLs they were much more manageable they must love you.

I don’t have the link for their footage in WvW of their asuraball. Once I get it will be on the site as homage.

Adpated for Spvp arena thanks to the collaboration of Ruby from TUP and others from JDGE on Gandara.

This format allows us to create matches at a moments notice and across all European servers.

As I point out, it’s early days yet, the forum is a WIP.

To all my fellow guilds in EU wvw. I bring you a home for interest in ASURABALL.

Early days atm, if your part of a guild or have a bunch of friends you could form a team with. Apply register your interest, a place to organise matches, discuss rules, post videos. Cross server matches – fight those guilds your WvW matchup simply won’t allow, but with a twist

Ideally looking for just 1 or 2 per guild/team to apply/register, once we get enough guild/team interest we can start holding tournaments.

I think the problem lies in (a) its the summer and some guilds are short. More so I believe, having GvG’d most of the guilds on Gandara that they took the opportunity to fight people like Fire whom they haven’t fought before.

I disagree that 10v10 is played like 20v20, its a huge difference, like caid said I believe 15v15 can still be played as per a normal GvG.

As to meta this and that… I don’t believe in that – I see guilds doing GvGs that are stuck in 2012 mentality. It’s not all the same.

10v10 requires build changes, weapon changes, different playstyle to normal (for us) where we take 20+ and fight huge numbers.

We also might disappoint – that we don’t run 80% guardians if we dropped to a 10v10

I believe wam engaged TDA with 5v5 and 6v6 so there u got your small scale <3 Just not everyone’s cup of tea.

We usually have to approach guilds every week in order to get a match, I cant remember the last time we were approached – so asking all the time becomes tiresome. We like people to throw down the gauntlet and challenge us. Expected Dius, yak to rematch us. Summer for some prevented numbers. Yak got numbers though :P and GvG’d Fire – just disappointed ya didn’t want a rematch

Hope so Tyialo hope so. Clashing with piken has been on the cards since Feb when we left. A lot of old friends we’d like to lock horns with. Sure it’s not the piken we remember, if you believe all the stories. That said, VII, GG, EXE, GoW, the ruskies and with our favourite sparring partner Mya there too what a week that would be. Form an orderly queue

As to the matchup, Jadesea offered about as much as I remembered from last time. Didn’t raid myself during the week for various reasons, bday being one of em. So didn’t get to fully enjoy the week with Gandara.

I will say though, colour me disappointed. Advertised for GvG nice and early and alas no takers. No rematches no fresh challenges. Ah well next time.

We see others getting their fights and the guys are like why not us /sadpanda.

Chinnee your misunderstanding what’s being said. The word zerg isn’t related to you in anyway, it’s used as a descriptive tool to describe the state of the game, the way that most non WvW guilds play the game. That’s it, where did I cry about zerg? Nowhere, your just misreading what I typed. Most fights are against commanders and pugs big zergs (until you find me a different name) it’s not crying or whinging, just a name to describe them, period.

I think too many people get upset with the word zerg. Hell some servers call 20man groups zerg.

Btw I didn’t attack him, if you read the posts, talks about wall of text, washing brains and he flew into we don’t care about TUP ignore us we ignore you, out of the blue. So yes I brought up his previous behaviour in a follow on post – Nuff said on the matter. Otherwise we just keep going in circles. What’s done is done.

Absolutely no need of your paragraph on Zerg and sensitive btw – as you totally misunderstand what’s being said. Use of sweet girl and such, condescending much? Look your fine, just stop misreading what I say. Then following up with don’t attack then silly comments (misplaced comments on sensitive and name calling) if your also not native English speaking then I totally get the miscommunication.

We have clogged the thread enough with our circle posts – back to the action.

@Chinnee Well put. Difference of opinion I think it boils down too. Merely corrected him about it being specifically (respect for HoB was all) we respect all guilds, friend and foe that take to the battlefield alone. We appreciate how for most servers, most players a lot of it is commander/friendlies or “zergs” if you will. So it is refreshen to see other guilds out there testing themselves against the hordes and each other. It’s fun, what we all play for after all.

Misunderstood my meaning is all that happened I think. Guilds should have rivalry sure, for me guilds are the biggest challenge, each has it’s own flavour something different they bring to the table. Blob Busting is the bread and butter, the cream is when guilds clash.

Who knows one day ANET may make the Guild Hall battles like from GW1 and make it 10v10, 15v15, 20v20, 25v25, 30v30 options. (Not sure if you played GW1 )

Until then, I think I speak for most of us when I say we enjoy the random (some might say unlikely) nature of WvW. Where around each corner is the prospect of another epic fun filled fight, potential deadly ambush or the plain “oh snap” moments of walking into the face of an entire zone.

While individuals may not see eye to eye, let’s do what we all do best and keep it on the battlefield.

I think for the most part, it is a language barrier issue with you prince.

It’s not about it being HoB, sure we respect them, ask any AG guild, TUP won’t ruin their enjoyment, their fights. Always played that way and in return a lot of like minded guilds do the same, let us enjoy the fights the way we let them. What goes around comes around.

As to the time you saw us going Garrison – it was breached, @ lord room, my 20-25 (think it was 22) plus whatever pugs on /map listened to GET TO GARRI (from the Friendly commander on map at the time) happened to run in the same direction as us. If you could of seen more of the chat and / or the map, HoB were going Water gate to try to help stop it – the pugs choose to follow us on occasion. The guys wanted to fight you as we saw ya, but I said no get to garrison as there was more to fight there.

One point I was going to leave you alone near bay/garri as we had 22 you 15 ish but we had a few pugs too, but you and the 8-12 REQ + pugs started the fight so we happily engaged.

I got no time for your nonsense, your whinging when I give you nothing but truths, you asked before how many online I tell you truthfully 29… just coz you ran 30 at the time you blantantly called me a liar – so ye no language barrier there son. I got no time for you.

Go ahead ask NR, Rddt, NP, FIRE if we let them fight against guild groups – or we blob and smash into all fights. There is only one truth.

We could go in circles all week, fact is i’m not a hypocrite, I also don’t accuse people of being liars and send “fake mistells”. Once you can say you do the same we’ll be on the same level. Just let our talking on the battlefield be enough.

Appreciate the action so far folks been fun.

PS: Don’t know why you try to make enemies, FURY are on Piken now, go bother them.

yeah why XxX and Yak on same map and be outmmaned hehe,the only group we fought with the same size of us was Hob i think they are running with 15 or something like that,we dont fought any group with less than 40/50 and one fight against the entire zerg of js where we wiped them and they disappeared,there is no need to find excuse “we played on t1 bla bla bla” ppl like zerg this is the thruth nothing more,js was trying to kill us flanking with 2 big guild plus another big zerg of pug we were 15:/

ps:oh yes dranul thanks to let us finish the fight with hob but really if u want zerg us,i know u want do it,who care.

If you were fighting JS, yes I’d make it a 3 way

We have, or at least I have a principle that most guilds deserve our respect. A lot of similar minded guilds leave allied guilds alone when engaged with enemy guild groups of roughly similar size. Countless times, us, fire, HoB etc don’t engage and either watch, stand guard or move on. Don’t get me wrong if our allies look like they’ve lost the fight we show the enemy no mercy and engage <3

Can’t really “zerg” you with my 20-25 plus the 2-5 puggies.

A) handholding / adding into a fight and making it unbalanced completely in our favour will allow us to learn nothing.

B) it’s not fun, not a challenge and why suck the fun from our allies. Especially in a match like this when there is a different mentality of one server so chances of finding a guild of even numbers to fight doesn’t exist anyways.

As to the other fella from Gandara, we won’t be running 2 warbands as we aren’t hitting 25+ let alone 30-35 (at our peak one week). We are atm in the summer at least, running 20-25. Need that manpower to smash the huge forces on offer.

Probs not on today, so to all have a good smush.

Kind Regards TUP

Lot of Blood spilled on Gandara BL tonight. I started WvW 3hrs earlier than normal with the idea of getting drunk alas it never came.

Hope xXx Noticed when we came across your fighting HoB we left you both at it. Standing guard almost, as there was a Fk tonne of JS in bay eyeing you up.

Had some (laggy) but amazing fights in Garrison, I think it must of flipped 6-7+ times in a couple of hours. Fighting Massif amounts of JS driving them off from things repeatedly. Only for them to hit undefending things – shame we can’t be everywhere! Aside from the lag, some really long good fights.

Cheers to our bros in arms HoB for their coordination and support on map, just like old times.

Shout out to the usual suspects of “friendlies” you know who you are, spotting the zergs for us, letting us know where we needed. It is appreciated.

Admittedly the “start” of the early wvw with just 8 of us was kinda painful rushing into Garrison to assist gandara attack it.

Plenty to kill in this match up at least its not a dead one.

To Gandara o/ to the cheeky Dius Engineer. Also 20 gandara taking the same tower as my 8 was funny, you could of shared!

Kind regards TUP

I think that is a bit unlikely to happen, as we consider 10v10 to small for our setup(kinda).

10*Retal isn’t as effective as 20*Retal? ;P

I jest.

To AG; continue being fun. To Gandara, don’t let the mindless grind you down. To Jade Sea, you guys are the worst so far, and the truest representation of just how broken this game is now. To Anet; thanks for Supply Mastery.

Aha! Another guesser at our warband composition for roaming or GvGs! Huzzah. Retal got renamed don’t forget to ReTUPaliation

First it was people saying we run 15, then 17 now 20! huzzah <3 Keep guessing it’s all gravy baby.

Oh other points you correct about JS, Gand and AG.

I still standby the 6 servers or maybe its 9 these days, that play for points should be segregated from the others. Hell even change our “fight” loving servers so you don’t have doors on keeps or atleast no Upgrades encourages more fighting.

10 is too small for the GvG leaders in my guild to be interested in. That said, I’ll ask the guys if they wanna organise themselves in a 10v10 (I call my guildies Misfits for a reason!, subtlety and organisation aren’t strong aspects of them).

NR on AG are looking for 10-15 size.

I’ll let you know climbatize.

In the meantime I’ll make sure people know TUP looking for 20v20 PM me here or mail me ingame.

@lert consistently beating zergs 2x 3x 4x takes skill.

I’ve never seen a skilled Zerg :P Plenty of skilled (and unskilled) Guilds though. <3

Ok fun on Gandara BL, got the lottery pick of Blue Border and amused to say the least.

If you didn’t notice Gandarans we saved your Garrison at least 6 times from the Dirty French. Who just probably happen to be so far the most cowardly dogs I’ve ever seen. 40-60+ Waypointing away from 16-8 was the true highlight. Having an enemy guild plus pugs totalling over double sometimes triple our number constantly waypoint out made me chuckle.

You made it hard to have fights. A points obsessed server, so Gandara and AG prepare to have a bad score in comparison due to coverage and the nature of their server. I look forward to farming your zergs.

Look forward to adding to my kills this week.

TUP looking for some GVGs, PM me here or mail me ingame. Ideally 20v20.

To the guys that fought us, kudos you made it entertaining.

o/ Gandara.

actually you guys TUP were just sticking on us every time. if you didnt noticed you werent focused at the beginning of the reset, but since you were always on our kitten we started focused your spawn tower and your bay. call us obsessed, dirty , dogs as much as you want.
we will meet again for sure this week

You might not remember us when we were on Piken when Jadesea received its mass influx of players much to Arborstones demise. TUP love fights, gandara don’t bring much on reset, and certainly not a great deal on their own BL except in Garrison (rats everywhere!). So you need to understand the concept, we play for FUN and FIGHTS. We aren’t going to PvD objectives for points… when their is a lot of French in the zone to fight. We saved that garrison for Gandara Several times kicking you out, was great fun. We deliberately LOOK FOR fights. Just a shame your guilds on at that time after suffering many wipes REFUSED to fight, atleast SIX+ different occasions entire segments of 40+ guys would Waypoint to your spawn away from 20, very very disappointing. Expected, but disappointing none the less.

So yes we brought ourselves to your SE camp several times, many many kills to be had, Nice to see PHNX would engage once we were already fighting triple our number We live for the fights, we don’t care about defeats, we don’t care about fighting an entire zone, which we did several times. We don’t approve of guilds refusing to fight and running away, so ye whenever we can TUP will get in your guilds and zergs faces for the action and the fun. It’s why its a game, an action packed game. We don’t play for the PPT or the win at the end of the week, or to hit empty objectives – sure we will take things if no zerg to be found, or to give us something to defend, thus forcing the zerg to come karma train.

It’s just a different mentality, I know some don’t understand the idea of playing for fights. Just as I don’t understand the idea of turning a game into a job and being proud of winning on points at the end of the week. Each to their own.

Just like Riverside, Abbadons and many of the top tier servers you ARE points obsessed as a server, you don’t play for the fights. It shows.

As long as you keep doing what you do, attack attack attack, it’s great fun. Riverside will settle on xyz points per tick then Bunker – they are only fun on Reset as they desperately scramble for every objective they can.

TL:DR Keep the action coming.

Kind regards TUP

Still await 20v20 GvG <<<

@JeroenXP “Never understand the need for GvG in WvW since it does not require really more skill more like understanding of stacking and blast finishers. If you want to proof “skill” do some 5v5 tournament or something. I think as well you get more “interesting” fights if people focus less on the rating/ranking crap in WvW.” <<<

WTF you smoking??

If you think being part of a good guild, a strong guild is about stacking and blasting you sir haven’t been a part of a strong guild.

As for proving skill, surely the organisation and teamwork, synergy in a 15v15 or 20v20 is far more superior than in a 5v5. Common sense. It takes much teamwork and skill in a 20v20 over 5 rounds to suffer only 1 death, or over 3 rounds to suffer no casualties. You sir are missing out on a big part of the fun and “skilled” part of the game.

Otherwise surely good guilds would be at a 50-50 chance of losing to even a thrown together team with an understanding of “stacking and blasting” <<< so 2012 btw. Love the zergs that do that, fall like dominoes.

Sorry but had to comment on your nonsense, drivel. It’s completely disrespectful. Some guilds out there with 20-25 take on entire zones, winning some losing others, and it’s certainly not achieved with simply “stacking and blasting”. You really need to be a part of a WvW guild.

Back to your matchup guys /wave UW miss you. You had more fight and skill and dogged determination than these French who just happen to have a lot of coverage.

Colour me disappointed, not angry. It’s a game.

GvG BSF? or any Jade Sea guild, chances are AG wont get you again soon. Plenty of AG guilds looking.
