Have seen these DAoC 8mans (including the ones from Europe), don't see what the appeal is.

Not impressed with the meta game's highest level of competition skill cap.

I'd crush them all at Pong.


Also - disappointed VoTF and HB haven't fought yet. You guys should arrange something when you're next fighting each other.

And get that EMP vs VoTF vid up please

I heard HB fought VoTF too, by the way. Any chance a video of that is gonna come out any time soon?

I'm glad to see GvG events popping up on the NA servers, haven't watched all the videos yet but I will do. Also brilliant that TSym are getting involved - glad that you came around to the idea of GvG, even if it was sadly after us RG folk have left Hopefully one day we'll meet each other again.

Hope to see more videos like this in the future. Show Arenanet that, yes, we would like to have organised gvg fights, thankyouverymuch.

I think there's a pretty clear difference between Veil and the other two "broken" things you mentioned here. If the golems weren't available in WvW, no one would use them. If the invulnerable patch wasn't there, no one would use it. These two are quite obviously broken and need fixing, I agree.

If culling wasn't a problem..guilds would continue to use veil before hitting people.

Veil before going into a fight is just a sound tactic. Sure, rendering problems make it even stronger, but don't pretend that people use it "to use the broken rendering". They use it because it's awesome, and will almost certainly continue to use it after the culling issue is fixed, unless the skill itself is altered in some way.

Don't blame guilds for using the utilities a class offers simply because the utility happens to be slightly stronger due to an issue in the game. If all guardians "Tome of Courage" elites were bugged to make everything instant cast, would you complain at people for running guardians with the tome? Using the best abilities a class has is just good sense. Let's just get the bug fixed.

No, if you're in a small group against a zerg you don't necessarily run away. If you're in a unorganised group, sure - when you see larger numbers the correct decision is to run, and I'd do exactly the same.

I really enjoy fights in organised groups against larger numbers, though. In order to win those fights, you need to know how many people you're charging into, and where they are. With affinity culling, as it's being called, we can't see that. It makes killing larger numbers very difficult. When you charge into 50 people with 20, you're already at a massive disadvantage. When you can only see half of those 50, and they can see all 20 of you, you're in big trouble. Making it harder for the smaller group to win just turns WvW into a game of "who has more numbers". I thought everyone agreed that zerging was a bad thing?
