I'm loving tombs.

Well it's about time they fixed up tombs matches. Other than the HoH, there are no longer any gank fests. Simple 1v1's, with scarred earth (or was it burial mounds) being two consecutive 1v1's.

Great improvement. Much better battles, no more ganking and getting lucky. Sweet update.

I'm having a hard time trying to find a group that sticks together, no matter what class I had.

They need a random tombs or something It takes about 1 hour to get a group and then people just leave at the first loss.

FOR REAL?!

I so envy you. I haven't been able to play since last night. Still can't untill later tonight.

This sounds really awsome. HoH still being a KoTH is a definite problem, but at least you can have fun on the way there.

Free for all and altar maps were more often lame then not, sounds good on paper but ends up slowing things down and promoting griefing.

:\ ganks.

I don't get it how do people get ganked. Like you're attacking someone near their priest, someone comes up behind you. You run past the team you're fighting into their base and then they're being ganked. Then they die or they run behind the team who originally ganked you so then they're being ganked. Then they run behind you.

Etc etc....

You allow yourself to be ganked or they're simply extremely determined to eliminate you. If they are who cares it's like the first or second round.

Take me with you

i've been going good. i would never go good in PvP cos of all the spirit spammers etc, and in 2 hours i've been in some fair good groups, a lot more ppl doin tombs

Yeah, HoH is still the same, initial 1v1 then free-for-all, which presents some problems, since anything can happen in the last few seconds. But everything else is much more pleasant to play.

That's exactly the problem, the constant leap-frogging. What's even worse is that more often than not, people keep an eye on the scorechart, and when you're winning, they purposefully ignore the other team and target you, making it a 2v1.

A certain team might be the best thing that hit Guild Wars, but going 2v1 is gonna make it bloody hard to win no matter what. I applaud the change. At least now there's some ganking going on in the HoH, but getting to the HoH is entirely dependent on your ability in 1v1.

halls is extremely hard to hold now. my guild held record so far >:P 7 wins


this is a good change because it gives more people a chance to hold halls, instead of 1 team holding for 3-4 hours 30+ consecutive wins.

I think people would eventually leave because their faction is filled up :P

Yes people leave 30+ consec wins getting 40 fame a win so they can unlock a few elites.

It's all strategy.

are u serious....
Wootage!
gotta tell dukie bout a new build whhemever i get on

Just went flawless 1v1. +200 Faction.

ah i envy peopel who play :'''(

dang dat last time i went tombing was with guild we had 5 flawless wins in tombs....gah i could have gottena bunch load of faction i was able to play!
ah i hate my mom

Tombs has been very good to me tonight. My guild put together a decent group of folks who actually will listen and we tombed for nearly 12 hours today. We handily doubled my fame and earned so much faction that whenever we would lose a match, I'd have to log onto my RP character and spend it to avoid the cap. Several guildmates who haven't done very much in ToPK before this update made rank 2. I will probably hit 3 tomorrow if we put that same group together again. I will admit some matches were insanely easy and you could clearly tell the other side had no organization. Some matches were pure gank fest. Some matches were just plain old slugging it out between 2 identical builds with roughly equivalent players. Our shortest flawless was about 2 minutes. Our longest drawn-out match was about 15 minutes. I'm really enjoying not running into a group spamming spirits everywhere. I also saw more of ToPK than I ever have before, including one (pathetically brief) trip to the HoH. WTG Anet for the PvPX event!

Only did one Tombs team today, with 5 guildies and 3 PUGs, but got to the HoH and game in second pretty much. Close match there.

KnV?

yea pretty weird folks
used to be hard to make a group too huh guys?...
and srry if i bailed twice or 3 times
and gar... i wish i can play
im signet of humility gosh and im not online

Yes, KnV. We've sure gotten our name out there today, lol! We are some weird mofo's but that's okay. We found 2 more weirdos to join our guild, one of whom is actually {/gasp} a good monk. That now makes 3 good monks and 3-5 "decent" monks in our guild.

lol i dont know if alot of peopel know KnV but i just know u cause i was once in ur group :P
before i ditched u for WmS :P srry bout that
but u guys are trully weird as
LF : Person Who Doesnt Have Sex With Relatives.....

ah i wish i can play..

Yes you could call it that, but do you want to encourage that kind of thing? 2v1 on the better team? Maybe on the HoH, which is supposed to be a no-holds-barred free-for-all, but on other maps, I don't know.

Aw, hon...guild hopping is common in this game. And yeah, we're all strange and only the weird people like us stay in the guild past the 1st 48 hours. It's just that we oftentimes can't stand people who are utter morons. Newbs - I like. Morons - I can't stand. If you can't operate a simple program (TS), please don't bother asking if you can join my group. If you can't answer me as to whether or not you even have TS, don't bother. If you don't have it, the least you could do is say so. We do let our hair down though and go bonkers. We ran a monkball group the other night and just camped our priest. We decided to screw that crap about counting Sig of Judgement and just heal and see how long we lasted. Half an hour match with 2 teams beating the hell out of us. One of the other teams whispered to ask me "WTF was that?!?" I told them, "Fun!" If you ever party with us past - oh, about midnite US Central time, be prepared for some serious silliness. We run goofy builds that time of night and in general just have a wild time. We're all tired from our normal day and we don't want "serious PvP" at that time of night.
