Yeah you would have beaten us anyway. I find it more annoying that guilds like Shat for example got so severely buttraped and those deadly scorpions plebs got silver.
I think this retarded VoD meta is far worse than all the error's though, wouldn't have minded err out if we could have at least play 1 decent match without flailing uselessly at 6 monks.

Ok this is how it looked for us in Baby this mAT

First round: 1 vs 0, only Zobi joined (good thing we got him as ranger

)

Second round: 6 vs 8, me and Shaq couldnt join in

Third round: 8 vs 6 (5), finally we all loaded other team had 2 error out in start and then 1 leaving after 2 min.

Fourth round: 8 vs 8, Era had huge problems in start which caused us to loose all front NPC, in VOD our derv errors...

Fifth round: Epic 5 vs 5, we are missing frontline and two midline, still had 2 real monks when opposing team only had 1 + 1 smite

Sixth round: First game where everyone loaded from both teams and we could have normal game, this would mean that i took 3h for ANET to fix this problem which is bad

For elimination round we or our opponents didnt really have any problems

Nice joke from ANET once again they sure know how to drop a huge bomb on us at the right time

Do you really think they care about these errors? Look at the previous HB MT, the finals were a tie and one of them wins while it was 18-18, and they give a shit excuse as saying one point was between some kind of times of counting so it didnt count and thats why the other won, they did nothing about it.... so dont think they do anything now.

That's very true, I'd much rather have played a fun build, but running anything but Illusion mesmers and smiters just reduces your chances of winning tenfold.. :/

I have heard a legend from this great warrior wandering on Gladiator's Arena section of GwG, legend tells that he got bored to copypaste same: "I'll show this to Izzy" and wanted different duties.

Dunno if its true.

I've observed the finals.
Why not skip the boring 18 min and start with VOD ?

Hey we killed 2 npcs and 1 player before VoD!

Seriously though, it's pretty ridiculous how important VoD/NPC Farming/PvE has become in Guild Wars, Rawr didn't even bother trying to do anything before VoD apart from double running flags with their frontline :/

We played all matches and in every match _NO ONE_ could connect. GG anet.

That accounts for the gold trim, but that doesn't make it better for all the other players who got cheated out of prizes thanks to anet's planning failure.

IMO, needs a total redo. Actually, needs ANet to stop being absolute failures at planning event weekends, but since that's not gonna happen, the least they could do for the people they hosed is a tournament re-do.

Burton2000 · Jul 27, 2008, 11:40 AM // 11:40

I'd agree with Mitch, rawr having the better side of the map made it so much easier for them to win at vod.

lol /thread, but how is your gw only 1.8 Gb large? Mine is like 3 Gb or so?

Why is everyone blaming izzy once again? Its not like he can fix the gw servers or something right? I feel bad for the guy tbh.

He could fix ATs and maybe this shit wouldn't happen. He is, after all, in charge of them.

Although whoever scheduled that double HB weekend should be sacked immediately. That was dumb as hell.

Nah, their SoJ got rended pretty quickly iirc, at least our spellbreaker accomplished polly not running conjure

Either way, don't want to make excuses and congratulatios to rawr for winning yet again, but it's kind of dumb that in a competitive game (at least that's what GW is supposed to be) maps aren't the same on both sides..

Because he is the one to blame for retarded VoD mechanics ? Plenty of fixes have been brought up, a lot of them ridiculously easy to implent, but he simply does nothing at all ...

i didn't Pve for like a year .

and for izzy , 1 thing that i blame him , is that h's too involved with rawr (sitting in their vent the whole mat('s) and such)+them winning 3 in a row with minimally build changes(no nerf to their OP build)

Asplode · Jul 27, 2008, 01:46 PM // 13:46

Recap from rawr's POV:

Imperial vs SSS: all 8 loads for both sides, then Jaden on flagger lags out on acid trap, dies, we never fully recover and decide to resign out early to prepare for next match

Dead vs La Divinia Commedia: Forfeit win (followed by flagger lagging out 1 second after forfeit, we almost forfeitted the mAT if his timing was worse >_>)

Frozen vs CSI: Subbed in Torsen for runner; all 8 of opponent didn't load, auto-win at 1 min.

Wurms vs SpNv: Torsen on runner again, 8v8 match went to VoD.

Uncharted vs Team Apathy: Torsen had to go to a wedding, so Jaden back on runner, lags out at 5 mins, drops from game at 15 mins, win 7v8 at 28 mins due to GL health.

Imperial vs StS: Jaden back on runner (on new internet), lags out on many occasions, occasionally with flag in hand, managed to squeak out another VoD win.

Dead vs StP: Ensign in for Jaden, few lag issues, won at VoD again.

Frozen vs sup: Ensign on flagger, loads in at 1:18, lags out a couple times during base defense, but otherwise turned into a very close VoD win.

Wurms vs qE: 8v8 game, Ensign lags out halfway through VoD.

Uncharted vs KMD: 8v8 game, Polly lags out with flag in hand, VoD win again.

Basically all games minus the one Forfeit and one No-Load game all went to VoD. Guild Wars.

-edit-

As for this "Izzy being in rawr vent" thing, he only got on to listen to us for the last round of the mAT's, said nothing other than greet when I said "did Izzy just join the channel?"

Despite what people think he's trying his darndest to figure out why things go to VoD and how to fix the "boring gvg" issue. Best way to do research is listen to us strat for VoD, eh?
