Hello Everyone. I am extending a formal (and a friendly *hug*) invitation to everyone interested in Guild Wars 2 (GW2).

We are working hard to develop a full functioning World vs World (WvW) PvP Guild before release (many of us are in beta). I already have a plan in motion to get us recognized upon release.

The starting point is already done, we have a leader, we have a following, we are experienced, and we need a game like GW2's WvW to replace PvMP.

I want you to join us, to build our community, and most importantly - to have fun.

I am not naive enough to believe we can relive the "golden" days of Lotro PvMP. But I know we can find far more fun and balance in GW2's WvW than we ever could in PvMP.

So come join us in GW2, if you loved lotro's open world PvMP, the people, and the chaos surrounding it.. this game will entertain thoroughly.

With love,

Harmonizer


PS: If you are interested but have any misgivings, talk to me. XOXO

Gratz to the Rankers.

GW2 beta was enough for me to know I'm staying here so hope you girly's come back now and again and fight some real Guardian's.

Why, whats wrong with GW2? Cant be worse than being facerolled by a champ 5vs1, can it?

All I can say is that Im having great fun last days in Laurelin, im trying to form 3 man groups or duo most of the time, cause going alone with many wargs around is stupid nowdays and its ok I accept that and I will change to fight em, but after all I think we're having some great battles, killing and dying all at once.
and thanks to Getrand, Rakanor, Wargims, guys who usually go alone and charge around, I hate wargim cause he is not a noob warg like 90% of em, he is good and always hard to beat him.

I hope turbine finally transfer my spider to here, I will play spider around and let's see what happens, thank to creepside for standing fights last days as I said, Im having fun and sure creeps have too.

Cheers, and nice to see Nerf and Celob back today.

Sorry if my champ has been a bit mean lately but it's probably due to him running into Pali's raid a few times and some warg packs. A bit more than 5v1

The main thing I didnt like about GW2 was the same as GW1, if you roll a tank/warrior it's a waist of time, only mez & ele's are any good and it's not my play style.

I do like the look of war of the roses:

War of the Roses - Alpha Gameplay

TB's vid

I'm sticking here through thick and thin as normal. BTW all those wargs u see are normally small groups of between 4 and 6. It just so happens they camp the same places. I mean I'll be hunting on my own, hit a freep then suddenly 6 or 7 wargs appear from stealth. Great stuff. TBH since all these peeps left LOTRO for GW2 things are starting to blossom again. Raids both sides are pretty good lately, but please keep off the min/champ combos, its absolutely impossible to do em any damage. Which is gr8 if u want to farm, but people soon get bored and log. I think yesterday was awful creepside till about 6pm.

Uh, no one has left for GW2 as there is no GW2 to leave for yet. It's the same people as usual. Plus Nerfy and Doosh!

Also Moir, the warrior is beast if played right. The classes are very balanced you just have to get it right. I smashed everything with axe/axe rifle combo. You just have to retrait to get the setup you want and/or get some different weapons.

And ye, war of the roses looks great. Long time TB fanboy here, Cynical Brit all the way!

Good Guardians are gonna show who are the best WvW guilds I think.

Walls and positional control are the top of my priorities when Fighting with an army.

Plus I love the "tank" stereotype, you do know all classes in GW2 can tank right? Lol...

But some do it better than others. I think thats what he's getting at. We use the nominclature we're used to /shrug. If some classes weren't better at some things than others then there would be no need for classes.

It comes down to the fact that in GW2 everyone can do a bit of everything. "Jack of all trades, master of none" is a phrase that springs to mind when looking at the "negatives" (is it a negative? /shrug) of the GW2 system and a positive of the trinity. There are people who enjoy being dedicated healers or tanks, this is also why GW2 will definitely not be the "WoW killer", if I may adhere to such an overused phrase.

I would argue that they are not trying to be a wow killer, they are trying to be revolutionary in MMO development.

In that, I would say they have surpassed success.



By saying "all classes can tank", you are still looking at it wrong. The aggro mechanism in GW2 is FECKED UP if looking at it with traditional MMO goggles.

Looking at it for what it is, revolutionary, all classes can "tank" by means of being very skilled at dodging and using skills.

A thief can tank extremely well through dodging and shadowstepping around, elementalists have plenty of armor magics.

"Traditional" tanking does not work... mobs will slip off you (even if you are meleeing it), if you kite... the mob will go "SCREW you!" and attack the noob standing still.

Survivability is relative to player skill, NOT by "some classes can do better than others". A guardian for example is a wet paper bag if the player behind it sucks ###.

For example, in the beginning beta I was dying within 5-10 seconds because I... sucked! Lol. Around level 20 nothing changed other than my skill level, if I screwed up... I died fast, otherwise I would be killing ~5+ things at a time.

This game is awesome, simply put.

Lol @ this thread turning into bunch of people talking about GW2 like its the solution to all theyr problems.

It's cute when I'm fighting 4v1 and I get corpse jumped for the hell of it, seems a little odd.

Obviously I accept when I get it from randomers, I like that I've killed you enough to make you hate me.

Hmm...

Maybe.

Thanks for all the spars earlier today it's great fun having the challenge of facing an opponent 1v1

I know not everyone likes them but thanks for leaving the majority of spars unspoilt.

Congratulations on Rank 10 Phidul! Keep up the good work mate.

Grats on rank!

Gratz on R10, Phidul. Well deserved.

June 2. time: 7 PM UK time /8 PM CET Rising Sun Event

Invasion on Landroval
We already have a tribe there!

Intercepted communique:

Cedrian, a skilled but unlucky captain of the free peoples army, was captured and searched by the evil forces that caught him before he escaped captivity. They found a note hidden on him with this text:

Saturday may 26. we will ride out to collect the treasure recently found in the Isendeep Mine in the north eastern Ettenmoors. We set out from Glan Vraig at 05:00 PM UK time - 06:00/18:00 CET /Berlin time.

Part of the treasure will delivered to our hobbit friends in Hoarhallow, that desperately need supplies to stand against the many recent attacks from the evil forces.

Connall will be in charge of this Golden Convoy! The orders are to gather as many of the free people as possible, to participate in this very important task.

After a long break I logged in to check how things are, got my old r 8 reaver cut to slices in a few hits by Mornaro without anything that could be classified as giving a fight, then had my r6 WL die because another champed looked at him and logged off for good. Not blaming the champs, but I will take another try after a year

You're playing a spider and you QQ about champs?

No one champ can beat a good spider, FACT

lmao. Try not to confuse you own opinion with fact, it makes you look rather silly.

My only pet is a little dog called León which means Lion in english, that's cause the doggie is brown, like the king lion!! so cutee!!!!!!



Btw, dreggo is an awesome captain who plays great, he is a captain, he is supposed to duo or group up with people.

And being honest I always prefer to go solo around, but nowdays with the amount of wargs around is nearly imposible, I would keep going alone, but wargs force us to group, believe me when you try to reach any point on the map alone and you're ganked by 4-5 wargs WHOSE if you're killing one of them they will just dissapire, you'll think, WHAT THE HELL, I group up and they will farm their own mummies!!! !

I know, creeps think same, so group up and FIGHT cuz today was so boring action with wargs hugging TA.

I don't blame anything, I just find unfair that you blame Dreggo, RESPECT, he is so good captain, b elieve me!
