We really need another EP guild to sign up for this, as it stands DR has to face four groups, whereas everyone else has to face 3.

>_> Dont mind personally but we are gonna be busy as hell.

For those interested I will be streaming and recording the GvG as a judge, not participating at all (I am a Potato).

Thoughts on the event

1. We needed another EP guild to break up the constant calling up. We had to fight nine times, which is probably twice as often as everyone else, and because of queue problems AD was late so we had to do the first four in a row. By the end of the night, we were all straight up tired.

2. The outside interference was absolutely ridiculous. We had people constantly nightblade bombing. dragon leaping, sieging, throwing caltrops, meteoring, it just got silly by the end. We even had a trebber hit us midfight that actually cost us the fight (we were winning until that point)

3. It ran really long, some of our guys couldnt dedicate more than 2 hours and needed to go early, by the time it was in full swing four of my starters had to go.

4. A lot of zone hecklers and morons kept badgering people but wouldnt participate themselves, thats just irritating in and of itself.

5. Rules were bent, not necessarily broken or purposely, but LOS was a factor early, and later on there was massive confusion because we didnt do event I thought was next (camps) and progressed straight to the island fights, which ended up being grouped instead of the planned non-grouping, which also messed us up.

At the end of the day, the event was too long, too publicized, too much interference, and even lagged a bit due to the sheer number of spectators. No excuses, win some lose some, but it deviated too much from what I thought we were gonna do. If we do another, a lot is going to have to change.

AlphaRahl · May 2016

Thanks for organizing this, was great fun. This was Requiems first guild v guild event and we ended up going 3-4 (W-L). Interference was a minor annoyance especially towards the end, but what are you going to do.

Thanks for putting this together @Cormore, hope there's another shortly.

Rickter · May 2016

i thought the event went great. yes it got a bit crowded with spectators, but i think thats really uncontrollable. overall, not a bad experience for us. thanks for hosting and thanks for letting us compete!

LoreScholar · May 2016

The event was awesome, I particularly liked the Bruma fights. The AC had a lot of fun!
Good fight everyone and thank you for organizing it!

ks888 · May 2016

BIG BIG THANK YOU! To Rare Bear for organizing alot of this stuff.

We

you buddy! Lots of fun and hope to see more guilds show up next time. It's a learning process on how best do this so, be patient. Again, tyvm to the peeps involved in getting this thing going.

LyleiaSnow · May 2016

Thank you so much to @Cormore and everyone that helped organize this event! It was an awesome first GvG experience. We had a lot of fun and I can't wait for the next one

forzajuve212 · May 2016

Everyone at Arcane really enjoyed the event, thanks Rare for putting on the event! Definitely had some really good fights with all groups! I'll probably be posting footage within the next few days of some of the fights.

heystreethawk · May 2016

Thank you Rarein! And thank you and /bow to everyone who came out and fought! We had a blast.

I have no doubt that it was as stressful, at moments, for everyone else as it was for us -- pulling everyone on our team into the deeply poplocked server and trying to make it up from Alessia, subbing MIA/AFK/crashed people out, dealing with lil kids (UNAFFILIATED WITH PARTICIPATING GUILDS) who kept setting up siege, getting prox bombed by the Kurdish Worker's Party while watching other guilds fight, blah blah blah -- but for all that tension there was such a bounty of pure excitement and grateful sportsmanship at hand that, we should remind ourselves, would not be possible in every competitive gaming community. It was a tremendous reminder that we kind of have to make our own fun, treat each other respectfully, and work hard to get the results we want.

It was a blast to fight groups that we don't get to run into very often, and I can't close out this semi legible post-fight adrenaline buzz of a response without saying how proud I am of my guild as a whole and the abilities of our individual guild members :] we've come a long way, uphill, in the snow, didn't even have cell phones back in the day, and I think we've turned into something special. Of course, we couldn't have turned into anything without top-shelf and challenging opponents like all the people we fought tonight, and I think that's something worth remembering.

1. Should of asked the EP zerg to split into 5 groups so you could have lots of back ups

2. L2P issue
3. L2P issue
4. #GroupChatOnlyFilter
5. #NowYouKnowWhyKHoleIsSoDysfunctional

ALL HAIL FORZA!

MaximillianDiE · May 2016

Thanks to everyone involved - the members of all 3 factions who came together to make this happen. The whole event was a blast. Particular thanks to Rarein and his counterparts on the other sides who actually pulled this all together.

Very proud to be a member of the mighty K-Hole tonight though. Great effort boys and girl!

Lisbette · May 2016

It was an enjoyable event. Several AD scrubs I have face melted 1v1 got overwhelmed by their salt and went full potato and tried to disrupt the tourney and gank 8v1 from stealth. I however prevailed with my 50k magicka and my trusty Ice Comet/Inevitable det combo. Sincerest apologies to the rando AD/EP that were caught up in the aoe dmg, rest assured your deathes were not in vain, AD neckbeards were 1vX'd with ease and shadowplay will follow. Amen.

Great turn out, good sportsmanship from the guilds. Once again a fine example that the players make this game.

Keiryan · May 2016

Was awesome fun, I feel like each time we do these events we learn a little bit more about how to better plan and organize them. I am going to help organize the next one which is going to be planned for June 19th around 6PM EST, more details will come as we flesh out a plan to make this bigger, it can be hard, but I think it'll feel good once we get the right fit.

Emp not a big advantage in 12v12?
You must be joking right?

He's talking about the health bonus, not the actual emp

Ishammael · May 2016

This was a great event.

Props to Rare for organizing.

Players that were intentionally being disruptive -- group the f*k up, seriously. I guess I'm not allowed to name names, but jeebus. Don't spoil everyone else's enjoyment of the game.

Synozeer · May 2016

That was fun, especially the free for all in the town at the end. You should have heard our teamspeak - the yells of danger, the screams of terror... CHAOS!

frozywozy · May 2016

That was great to watch. Thanks for organizing this.

The siege was childish, but complaints about the rowdy crowd... If you were at the event you probably consider yourself a hardcore PvPer, or if not that a PvPer in general. Show some pride and don't let yourself or your friends be bullied - especially if you have a guild there with you. The kind of stuff that was happening is tame and well-mannered compared to other games.

Azurethe · May 2016

@Lisbette

Thanks Tamerlin! Couldn't have kept the event without you man. Without your brave and heroic thoughts and actions, the entire event would have been ruined

But for real most of the spectators may have been slightly slow

@Septimus_Magna

With the emp we had on Haderus during the GvG, it would have made no difference in the GvG anyway. I beat the guy in a 1v1 twice then I realized it was a bit strange that he had 40k health and dropped 2 ice comets on me in like 10 seconds

DODHitman · May 2016

Thank you KHole for putting this event together, I had a blast! Your guild is a prime example of what makes this game great and I hope others can see this as well.
Great organization and sportsmanship from all guilds and officials!! As others have stated....it really does show that we the "players" make this game what it is. To all the other guilds that were able to make it......We win some, We lose some, but in the end its all about having a good time, and thats exactly what we did. Thanks Again!!

Keep up the great work KHole and I really look forward to the next event!!
