is it just me or did random PvP get way too hectical since the introduction of A's and Rt's?
I mean there's around 40 spirits in the arena after a few minutes and a felt 7 assasins, although there's only one, maybe two.
and also, noone's calling any more...
well my point being: it got hectic.

It was expected. New classes and everyone wants to try them.

Personally I stuck with Mo/N.

I have to say that there were very few people I came acros sin Random Arena's who'd target call or follow targets. My best consec runs were all in teams who target called, followed targets, etc. No talking, but at least they worked as a team.

Funnily enough, my best team involved a group of 2 A/W's, 1 R/A & Rt/Mo. Got to 11 consec's before we died (and yes I know thats not impressive... until you realize this is the 1st day I've ever PvP'ed in GW.. hahah!). Ahh but it was hectic.. spirit's everywhere, Assassin's running around chasing after each other.. hehehe

But I know what you mean, playing along.. and there's always a dozen or so spirit's around, some friendly, some not.. some damage you and some don't.. it can be confusing at times, escpecially if the spirit's are all bunched together (just asking for AoE damage...)

What peeves me off the most is the egotistical insulting people who play.. Too many people gloated when they killed me.. even if they then lost the fight.. and the name calling.. grr! that was annoying! Have to say though.. it's most satisfying to whoop their butts with a flawless victory after them insulting us when they saw we had assassin's in our team

I think it will calm down once factions actually comes out because people will understand how to use spirits smartly and how to use Assasains.

Thats been the problem with PvP for a LONG time now kamatsu... Notice how the Zaishen always politily say GG no matter what. Don't see them flaunting themselves and calling you names for either wining or losing too easy. The whole point of the thing is to learn... but still the PvP community as a whole continues to go down the toilet attitude wise....

... and then half of them started with Rit's.. and (no offense to anyone but) n00bs + ritualists = chaos...

Ritualists aren't exactly the most simple build to play...

Well when it comes to playing Ritualists and Assasins were all technically "noobs". Seeing as how NONE of us have any exp playing them.

It's quite sad, because any new players who faced that attitude would likely quit playing if they got it too much. I will say there were definately a good chunk of players who weren't like that and would say "gg" or similiar when the match was over, whether they won or lost.

ah wells, I went into RA expecting the garbage and got it.. just made my day when I was able to beat them There needs to be "Struts over dead elitist boogar" emote!

but yeah, i think it's just hectic now becauuse people have 3 day's to try out the 2 new classes.. and so quite a few are trying to get in as much experience with them s they can, trying them out, etc. Heck, it's even getting people to play PvP who've never PvP'ed before (ie people like me.. heh). Once the weekend is over it'll be back to normal.. and when faction's comes out.. it'll get more hectic again for awhile when any new pvp players hop on board.. but then settle back down again.

I keep calling calls with the new characters and only 1 person or none in my group follows them. Most of the groups I was in, all of them had guild tags so I was pretty sure they know how to follow a call but I guessed wrong.

Guild Wars is probably one of the lightest as far as trash talking in pvp. If it was that bad, it would be constantly spilling onto the message boards of the various fan forums.

lol true Took me a while to get use to the Ritualist, I'm still having a lot of trouble handling the assassin properly.
