Enough with the zergs already...

Zergs don’t have to happen, they don’t need to happen, if people make the effort to do something different. If this is a zergfest, it is because the players aren’t thinking outside the zergfest box.

The first run in the new LA I was a part of, (in an overflow, mind you) immediately after the patch, there was no tidal wave zerg of people, running mindlessly around. There were several commanders who each focused on a quadrant of LA, and people joined them there. Even with the miasma being already half full, we saved almost 900 citizens, and got most of the rewards. We did awesome, without a major zerg in sight.

Each time since then, I’ve seen nothing but Wall O Players zerging, less than 400 citizens rescued every time, and most of the events failing, because the zerg is off doing something else.

Don’t want it to be a zergfest? Stop zerging all over the map. Actively resist just being a zerg. Split into smaller groups and kill, kill, kill. Rescue more people, because that gets everyone more and snazzier rewards.

Exactly this.
I blame commander tags, they act as a zergmagnet most of the time. Commanders should split and organize the events instead of mindlessly running around…

Running GW2 on a new iMac 21.5"

Hi, I’m seriously considering switching to Mac this year because I had it with Windows!
I’m comfortable with Mac (have the latest iMac 27" at work) and tested the beta client on it. It all seems to run smooth.
Now I don’t have the budget to buy the same one for home use, so I’m looking into the 21.5".
What would be the minimum recomended configuration?
Is the basic model good enough or shoughd I max out on specs?

Thanks!

Hi,

I’m used to playing with a staff since launch and loved it from the start. However, after 5 months I feel the need to change my play style, since I’m getting bored with staff lately and want a more active kind of gameplay.

I mainly play PvE with an occasional WvW or dungeon and was wondering what builds our viable out there and what the main differences are in play styles between the different setups. What Gear for which setup? Any general tips?

Thanks in advance!

bank space is useful.

However, at lvl 80 you can easily make the in game gold to buy the gems with instead of real money. your choice.

However, he’s lvl 33, at the moment 100 gems cost you 1 gold 60 silver, at that level it’s a lot of gold!

I don’t have a credit card, nor do I want one. I top up my paypal account via bank transfer/debit card. I topped up the account with €50, but in the BLTC it still asks for a CC.
Is there any way I can use Paypal without having to link a CC?
