Some of us really enjoy the pro gaming aspect of the Game.
Some Germans really enjoyed the Anti semetic aspect of the Nazi party.
See how your logic falls apart!?

The way SBI is progressing (currently ranked 9th and rising) and getting hilarious matchups, we're posed to be King of the Silvers. Silverback Gorillas. Silver Back Isle.

SBI has been crushing all opposition for at least a straight month now. We've received a massive surge of WvW players (both North American and Oceanic).
Yes they definitely got an infusion of Mountain Dew.
The problem is that the old system pretty much made servers stuck in tiers, and its hard to bust out, a few above or below and its either a blow out of you get blown out >.<
I can't tell you how nice it is to have your contributions to this thread, markot <3

Very nice. It took me forever to get that damn power play! So I know how good it feels to get stuff like that!

Now you need SAB tribulation mode so those tears flow. Or so I've heard...
Congratulations on Flawless Defense!
Ok you GAF commanders... Hawkian, Ashodin, Siafra, Levyne, Rottel, and those I've missed. I'd love to see a completely GAF commanded Tequatl fight. I want to see all our commanders tagged and leading everyone to the fastest SBI record. Come on, organize and let's give it a shot!
god fucking damnit. this is about when i logged off because after 3 times I said fuck it and gave up today.

I got my flawless defense on an organized attempt at that achievement. Failing to beat Tequatl on purpose sucks I know, but I'm sure those attempts will be out there this weekend. As far as I know, I've only seen one Tequatl success that also earned Flawless Defense too.

So we completed Arah Path 4 earlier today.
I always thought the dungeon was gorgeous, but the area after Simin's encounter is truly breathtaking.
Only managed to grab a screen:
I recommend others to venture into Path 4 to catch a glimpse of this magnificent sight, even if it means enduring the torturous trek to get there.

Love how the thread title is cleverly worded to make sure the "free DLC" thing is at the forefront.
That's actually not a categorization I would agree with. I would hate to see every service based game with large free updates suddenly classify their patches as free DLC, and the imperative to do so seems to come entirely from a marketing point of view. It comes off as almost amateurish, somehow - maybe a bit lazy, or desperate.Consider this entirely a nitpick-y, this-is-a-pet-peeve-of-mine kind of post, by the way. Personally speaking, this is the kind of marketing that turns me off. Obviously not a particularly big deal, though.

Your forgetting gw1 pretty much was just an esport with some pve was tacked (In fact it was the strongest section of the game). Then only bad part of the focus is that gw2's structured pvp is kinda crappy but A-net are too resistant to change to fix it and bother adding fundamentally different game types.

Not the best vacation I've had, actually. The place was kind of far from any kind of town or shop (20-30 minutes walk across country to the nearest town/groceries shop), it was really windy, especially at the beach (and often cloudy and just a bit too cold for the swimming pool, which itself was pretty awesome and huge), we had a crazy ant invasion in all rooms for the first week and a half or so (until the owner called the exterminator).
Godwin's law at its finest. Pro gaming = nazism, you heard it here first, folks.
I'm never coming back to World 2-2!

That was an awesome run and than you to all 5 of you that helped me get the Dungeon Master tittle.So we completed Arah Path 4 earlier today.

I really liked path 4 because it isn't really unfairly hard it is just long. I think the guide helped a lot though for the boss fights.
The only dungeon that gives 7 boss chests, yet I only got 1 rare. Classic GW2.
The point was that if you're on a stacked server, you'll have two problems:
1. You'll be stuck in queues a lot at the beginning of the week, meaning you won't get a lot of playtime towards that meta achievement.
2. If your match has a blow out then you'll rarely see any enemies in the latter half of the week, meaning you still may not make much progress on the achievement anyway.
Of course the counter argument is that you'll have 7 weeks and not every matchup will be a blowout. But still, it's adding more stress to yourself.
Yeah, there's been a few PvX guilds that transferred over recently so teq results probably had something to do with that in addition to WvW. Helps that I think we were the only High pop server with more than 10 kills so a cheaper transfer for those looking for a more active server.
The whole ques idea is overblown, at least for SoR. The meta wont even be hard to get, its gonna be built for casuals.

You gotta be absent for like months for it to be any problem at all.
Yet they're working on new map types as we speak.

Karl McLain and Roy are are gonna do a livestream on oct 11 to talk about features and adjustments to sPvP coming on oct 15 and as I said in my previous post during the MLG tournament the devs were interviewed but Jon peters couldn't make it and he was suppose to talk about some important stuff. Later he was on twitch chat he asked the other devs if they had talked about game types during the interview but they didn't because he was the one that was suppose to talk about that.
Here the what Karl posted on the forums

I have a blast jumping in and playing a few pvp matches with gaffers. I'd play more if they varied up the gametypes and gave me more maps. But that's all coming so I'm not going to complain.
I dunno who i was playing with a couple days ago, but we had 2 matches in a row that we won by less 100 points. Was a blast. Necro's dont seem to be high on the kill priority list, but it's gotta be seriously terrifying to watch your health exponentially decrease faster and faster as the battle goes on.

I'm gonna be jumping on in a sec so I'll invite you.

really nice mate!
You know watching this, I think I can see why Peters always talks about how deathmatch might not work for a game like GW2. What made this exciting was that you had to be stationary, and that creates unfair drama - which is exciting. in a deathmatch situation i think the game would be more limited.
I am looking forward to hearing what game modes they are talking about.
Awesome, thanks!
Ye, all the (sort of deserved) nerfs to eles, the big changes of warriors, necros and engies, pretty much kicked eles out of the meta for far too long. About time anet give them some viable play. And some reworks on conjures are definitely needed, because that's a whole profession(class) mechanic which is completely useless.
Humiliating post.

I'll say in no particular order
1. AoE looting.
2. World Boss/champ Reward
3. The new magic find system/getting rid of magic find gear.

Edit: Oh.... hmm... top of the page. Well, in case anyone still needs it;
I didn't even think of your 1 and 3. AOE looting is certainly nice, but the new Magic Find system would definitely be my number 4.

1. Tequatl 2.0; never experienced the exhilaration of taking down a boss with a huge group like that before. I wonder who else out there is in the same category as me. Without paying a monthly fee I dunno where you really got such an experience before now (the Secret World?)
2. Wallet; I was asking for it as of a week or two out from launch when I started crazily running AC. Everything is so seamless now, you just walk up to a vendor and it shows you how much your account has to spend. Just the kind of free, representative convenience I've always counted on Anet for. If only it held Bloodstone Dust
3. Fractals. Even though I'm only on level 26, that's mostly because I spent the initial weeks running <5 runs over and over to help people out and I wasn't even mad. I burned myself out on them a bit but I like almost every single one a lot and I'll be back in there on a fanatical basis when they add the 3 new ones.
Of Permanent stuff, Guild Missions would be my clear number 4... speaking of which, our regularly scheduled mission blitz shall be occurring in about 1.5 hours!
