Guild Wars 2

All posts should be trash talk and OT. No one cares about hacking or zerging.

I see no reason why the mods shouldn’t allow a thread like this. Given that the last one had 10 pages of repetitive garbage, it seems like they would encourage something like this.

I’m going to save everyone a weeks worth of reading 10+ pages of the same crap. People will call people hackers, Devona will exaggerate numbers, and Kain will be sad that people left.

Now that we have that cleared up, please join me in this thread.

Since the mod locked the last thread for being off-topic, we won’t have to worry about it here. Things were actually starting to get interesting too, I wanted to hear more about Etna and those dragons in Sweden.

Remember, this is the OT thread. This is where we actually talk about things that people care about. I feel like we have officially beaten the horse to death on the who’s who of zerging. Listen, every knows that Devona has a garbage player base that zergs, I don’t think it needs to be brought up anymore. It’s like saying there the sky is blue, everyone knows.

Etna, bring more of that sweet music to this thread.

Etna.1634:

• LARP never having the real commander material we always have to look for this outside our little gathering and have found;
  Commander elect Skarllok, this man is not a man he is a walking myth from the deep caverns where Supreme Commanders spawn. His lightning bolt skill is at an astonishing rate of grand prelude wizard fury warlock mage commander in chief and obviously he do lift. Problem with Skarllok is that he does not have a commander book and after emptying our pockets + a hefty donation from Elvis Presley we are still some gold short.

You’re too kind Etna, you’re too kind.

I’ve been reading through this thread, and like most weeks, it’s a depressing read and fairly uninteresting. I understand that it can be frustrating to see an exodus of guilds leave a server, but that’s the game you signed up to play. With free transfers, did you really expect anything less? You’re kidding yourself if you did, as the masses in MMO’s are rather notorious for overreacting to any and everything. It’s a video game people, get over it. If it’s really bothering you that much, just go transfer yourself. All this garbage about how you bleed this server or that is really quite scary. If you find yourself angry, in a literal sense, don’t come to these forums to express it. Instead, I recommend seeking professional help, which based on comments, some of you could use.

Since we’re on the subject of things no one cares about… If you and 78 other people zerg down a small group at Greenwater, here are your options:

A.) Come to the forums and let that small group know that they got outplayed by only you and two other people (Like any zergling ever admits their true numbers). If you find yourself choosing this option, here is a strong recommendation on what you should do instead. Go find a parent and ask them to add another month of X-Box Live so that you can play Halo with the other kids from class. If you are at the age that you no longer have classmates, consider drinking large amount of liquid under the sink, or perhaps Tetris.

B.) Feel pride that you have satisfied the hive mind in yet another victory. Turns out auto-attacking with a group that vastly outnumbers your opponent takes no skill. Perhaps Mario Kart is more your style.

C.) You happen to be the predictable guy who overextends and actually dies to said small group, even though you have 78 friends behind you. Turns out this isn’t your game, bro. Again, Mario Kart is a viable option for how to proceed with life.

The moral of the story is that no one really cares what you and a large mass of green dots does in this game. As fascinating as it is to read about how the mighty swarm zerged down a tower, it actually ranks right up there with brushing your teeth, or looking for that extra sock you can’t seem to find while doing laundry.

Speaking of zerging, if you are going to do so and ignore my legitimate suggestions, here’s a good tip for you. Always lie about how many you really had with you. I know what you’re saying, “Skarllok, we do that anyways!” That is true, but some of you do it better than others. The idea behind this is to make it so laughable and unbelievable that it warrants a response. See, no one cares that you zerg, but if you grossly exaggerate the numbers, sometimes you will get a response, which we all know is what you’re looking for. I like to call this situation, Drednyte’s Guide to Fuzzy Math. That man has got this down to a science. Believe in him, follow him, love him.

Also, if you find yourself using the word ‘kitten’ instead of curse words, let’s try and see if we can be a bit more clever with our vocabulary. Unless you’re a fan of jean shorts and the two dollar bill, we should do better by ourselves and find some better ways to express ourselves.

But Etna is right, the voices of Ferg have called for a leader, and I have answered. For too long the sheep have been led astray, but no more! The trash cans of the green lands have run amok for too long. The hive mind is strong in Devona, but I believe in our individual talents. You see, we have an advantage that Devona cannot simply understand, most of our playerbase uses more than 2 keys. I know, as strange as it may sound, but the arrow cart requires but a simple man.

We are now over the halfway mark of the holy blue icon, that the masses have wished upon me. Soon, we will rise above the green sea of terrible. Never again will we fear such a large auto-attacking force.

If you have any donations or simply seek wisdom, find me in game. If, for some reason, I am not available, contact my secretaries Balidor or Yui Kaze, both will be more than willing to help. If for some reason Balidor suggests that you speak in a shady van with the promise of candy, that’s your call.

Thank you all, and God bless!

Drednyte.7601:

And regardless of what either server says..DR was outmanned most of the night.

At no point did you ever have fewer numbers than us last night. I’m not sure if this was directed at our group that you were fighting, but that’s a fairly laughable statement to make given some of the numbers you guys had late into the night.

Some good fights with LARP this evening. Got a little crowded towards the end, but some good fights.

Mr Girly Man.6893:

12-1am est. Not 2 am est, like your picture is showing… pulling a Fubuki on this one. Your logical fallacy is Strawman.

I think this can pretty much sum up 95% of what is written here.

Some good fights tonight. Thanks again for the invite, Balidore.

There is a small group of us that are looking to join with a guild on any of the 3 servers if anyone has any interest. We’re all former 8-man DAoC players looking to do the same here. Unfortunately, we haven’t seen many people on Devona’s Rest with that mindset, so I wanted to see if anyone else is looking to do the same thing. I’m not expecting the same kind of action as DAoC, but I would like to try to find something similar. If anyone has any interest, please send me a PM.

I apologize for diverging from the usual talk of each server bragging about zerging. I am sure each server is very good at having 30 green dots on the map auto-attack. Please continue…

Our small guild has slowly dwindled down to just a small group of us. Three of us are very active, while our other three are semi-active.

We are looking for a small WvW guild that we can run with. Our background comes from 8-man RvR groups from DAoC, so that style of play is what we’re looking for. I know GW2 isn’t quite the same, but it’s probably the closest MMO out there that offers that same type of environment.

We’re not looking to zerg or be in a zerg guild. All we want to do is run 5-10 man groups and hopefully fight against other small groups. If anyone is looking for a few more, or is looking to maybe join up with us, just send me a PM.

Thanks

P.S. Arbitrary Paradox is looking for a few good players that are looking for a non zerg running group. If you are interested and have what it takes give me a tell in game. I’m an old school DAOC Pac healer from Nimue/Gareth that loves small man action.

Etna.1634:

That’s pretty much what we [LARP] want aswell and are doing. Alot of us are also old daoc players. We should talk.

Hopefully we can see some of you out there soon. That’s pretty much the sole reason we came to this server was to find small group fights. We have left several high tier servers with the hope that the focus would be less on auto-attacking with the zerg, and more on small man fights. It’s been better, but it’s still mostly been a bunch of zerging. I suppose the game is directed in that approach, but it would be nice to find some small fights.
