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

Hmm, some Emps on EU hit pretty hard, 18k Proxy Dets/Soul Tethers etc.

I guess it would depend on the Emps build and the players skill.

I don't believe the Emp was in any of those groups (if he/she was I didn't notice anyway), so all we were talking about was AD getting a few more hitpoints which made no difference from our perspective to the outcome of any of our matches anyway, so no need to make a fuss.

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.

You're never going to get the perfect conditions for an event held in open world and all 3 sides were subject to a certain amount of interference from the spectators, conditions etc. I know we got hit by the odd interfering yellow and red shrug but just got on with it and enjoyed the matches and the event. It is what it is given the nature of the pvp community and that interference was generally well and promptly managed by the "security" who were a great example of our community self policing. Hope to see you guys in the next one.

Enough of the sportsmanship talk! I wanna know which guild kicked butt haha. What was the score?

Arcane went 2-1 in standard 12 v 12 with wins against DR and Requiem and a loss to KH, then went 1-1 on 12v12 island fight with a win vs Requiem and a loss to KH, so 3-2 overall on the night. Pretty sure KH went unbeaten so they won it all

Requiem GvG

Score is really hard to keep track of because some guilds competed way less than the others. For example, most of the other guilds only fought each other once and we fought almost everyone twice except Arcane, who we only got to match one time. whereas we fought requiem four times (three actual decisions)

DR opened up with a win on Requiem in the first match
DR then lost to Khole
DR then matched Fantasia, but it was called midway due to interference, and we lost the restart.
DR then lost a match with Arcane when a healer crashed (no excuses, it happens, it was close until then, coulda gone either way)
DR then did one last match with alternates from I believe Fantasia, and we lost.

Then the yellows and blues fought for a while. Khole beat both AD guilds, and I believe requiem beat arcane and lost to fantasia.

Then we moved to the island fight, not sure what the order was, but DR fought four matches there, rules confusion because I assumed it was supposed to be ungrouped and we got walloped in the opener, and outside sieged in the second. The other two were close losses with deaths on both sides.

At that point I stopped keeping track really. Was not a good outing for us, but we did win our first fight very decisively.

the overall score is probably something like

Khole 5-0
Fantasia 3-2
Arcane 3-2
Requiem 3-4
DR 2-5 (or 3-5 or 4-5 depending if you count the fights we were winning when interference cost us and we lost on restart, but those are probably not counted)

The only match I am "salty" about was the trebuchet interference match when the other team (i believe requiem) was down to just five guys left with us only down two, and a treb shot from a cliff killed half my remaining group, on restart we lost the match after basically winning it). So yeah everyone had interference, but christ, we needed that win for morales sake, wed had a bad night, people just cant stop getting in the way sometimes.

The main issue was how publicized it was really. I prefer keeping things low key so we dont have 100+ people showing up, its bound to have massive interference and trolling. Just the five teams accounted for over 60 people (when alternates are considered), and a half dozen judges. There were dozens of spectators and gankers.

Perhaps the next time, we just keep it more low key so we have less restarts and do-overs. More than anything else, those annoyed me more than anything. Biased maybe because we were winning most of our matches that needed restarted =/ And then lost them after.

props to any guild that showed up really.

"you had the balls to put your balls on the line"

thats really all that counts.

just watched video, good fight everyone.
Feeling very sad i missed this

I'm going to say though, in yet another thread, God I hate bombard! I only did one match with Khole and I pretty much stood in one spot the whole time, taking very little damage but being almost permanently rooted in place... And I'm pretty sure we did the same to the opposing guild. I hatesssss it so much

Bombard needs to die a slow painful death. I am so over this stacked snare meta.

Forward momentum is a good start.

Yeah because you know, everyone is a stam build that runs two hander...

Next youll tell me to use shuffle, right?

It's being buffed next patch and you can run 2h on a magicka build.

Edit:

"Forward Momentum (Momentum morph): Increased the duration of the snare and immobilization immunity provided by this morph to 5/6/7/8 seconds at Ranks I/II/III/IV from 2/2.5/3/3.5 seconds."
