To win a teamgame, communication is an important factor. Typing isn't handy at all, I know, but you have this awesome thing called a minimap where you can draw and ping stuff on !

Maybe it's just me, but I think none of these people even look at the minimap. Every game I try to explain how the team should be split and who should be capping which shrine - with text and the minimap - but when the gates open they all rush to the nearest shrine no matter what I friendly asked them to do =-/

You are not alone in your plight, sir.

I gave up explaining how to split every time, it seems like the more I tell them to split the more they ball up. Perfect example : Telling my team to split up to cap the Energy shrine and health+BC, instead they chose to mob to the nearest shrine...

MirkoTeran · Oct 27, 2008, 08:50 AM // 08:50

There is little point in explaining what to do. Idiots will ignore everyone and others already know what to do.

Turbobusa · Oct 27, 2008, 08:58 AM // 08:58

Perform well in one game, they'll listen to you on the next. At least they'll trust you more...
I don't know for the 3h I played this week end I've had about no problem with the teams I had with a correct setup.
If you start thinking aggressively first and assume everyone is retarded, you may aswell stop playing MMOs.

I couldn't play while it was on last year, and wow, I really, really like it.
Shame it has the same synch problems as RA tho, but still I find it very fun to play.
I might be one year late, but still, good job on that one arena net.

I can't log on to check, but aren't rangers', sins' and dervishes' attributes over what you can actually do with minors?

Perfected Shadow · Oct 27, 2008, 09:08 AM // 09:08

Even if you're fortunate to not see syncing often, it's still an exploit that should be hammered.

I understand those who sync themselves so they don't want anet screwing syncs. What I don't get are those who feel like the problem should be ignored just because they don't come across it often.

Well at least we all agree it's exploiting right?

snoozer80 · Oct 27, 2008, 09:18 AM // 09:18

Sync is not an exploit. It's just using of possibilites which this game gives. It's not using third software or other game bugs.

Anet should't blame ppl who can think.

That's all.

Turbobusa · Oct 27, 2008, 09:26 AM // 09:26

exploit = using an aspect of a product for something it has not been designed for.
It doesn't need to use a 3rd party program or a bug to be an exploit.
There may be good or bad exploits, it's still one.

Morgoth the dark · Oct 27, 2008, 09:31 AM // 09:31

Ysterday i had a 27 winning streak match and then we just disbanded, becuase noone could bring us down and it was getting a bit boring...
Well, 500 gmaer points / run, 120 bags, nice

Dr.Jones · Oct 27, 2008, 09:31 AM // 09:31

i feel that events like the cb should not be random they should allow you to chose your team. or at least have it so you can eather go in as a team or let you go in as a random team.

Morgoth the dark · Oct 27, 2008, 09:34 AM // 09:34

Well i got lucky, we got a perfect team (not synched) : warr, derv (me), ranger, rt and a monk, we all know how to split (4:1 or 2:3), and then things just went their way. Simple.

especially those ppl that do not resign, even if 4 of their team already resigned at a standing of f.e. 14-2, make me really mad

its like they turned off the chat log or something, idk, how can ppl be so ignorant.... wasting other ppls time is so low, and if you leave your getting dishonoured => another waste of time... GG

btw n/c about runners in COSTUME BRAWL Oo (feeling a bit like playing RA)

Kyp Jade · Oct 27, 2008, 12:15 PM // 12:15

Gotta like getting 500-1k gamer points a run.

I love the warriors that cry NOOB runner, when he is chasing a monk, and i have him mel shotted. And we watch him degen out.

Even more I like watching A war attack thru insidious AND empathy, I like it better when he uses his ias.

Things that bug me: When I am on a big consec streak, someone has to leave, we get a new guy, and he does things like saying "stay together", or tries to solo 4 people. (they are almost always lvl 11 warriors too)

I was on a team that was down 14-4 this weekend and came back to win.

Never surrender!

I, like many others turn off both all and team chat during CB because nothing constructive is ever seid in either. Its always full of comments made by foul mouth children.

Hope fully next year they will add what i wanted this year. A 2nd TA style CB.

It doesn't mater, communication is paramount in PvP, I don't care if 9 times out of 10 you have bad teams, that 1/10th of the time you could have just cost your one good team the game cause you can't see what someone said and it was actually important.

Servant of Kali · Oct 27, 2008, 12:48 PM // 12:48

I can't believe people in this thread claim monk skills are bad.

Just because it's not a GvG build. Sigh...

Monk bar in costume brawl is IMO the best.

This is my list, based on current observations, and I may change oppinion of some later on:

Great: Monk, Ritualist, Ranger, Dervish (fine if mo/rt in team)
Fine: Assassin (great with mo/rt in team), Necromancer
Handicap: Mesmer, Paragon, Elementalist, Warrior

I can explain each:
1. Monk - it's simply great. It can solo anyone else, and moreover kill.
2. Ritualists - honestly have not play it, but I have good experience with them in CB. Also great for soloing which I feel is important in split random maps.
3. Ranger - speed boost, range, self-heal you can rely on, block. In other words, good self-survival while still doing nice dmg.
4. Dervish - haven't played it either. So how do I know it's any good? Well I could accept that it's merely "Fine" instead of "Great", but the thing is - it's playable.
5. Assassin - gotta love fast kills. It's fun to play with this build, but hexes really hurt it. If there's a monk or rt in the team, I'd put Assassin as "Great" and Dervish down at "Fine". Elite skill is actually useful in maps which consist of lots of running. Bad self-heal is why overall performance depends on others.
6. Necromancer - It's ok, but lack something. It can mess up all melee classes, but what If you run into casters or even ranger? What it does, others do better, IMO.
7. Mesmer - Yeah yeah.. it was always my fav class but let's face it, it's not that good here. Fun? Probably, but not as competitive. Empathy is strong, but I prefer Insidious. Interrupts while good will miss every now and then, even if you're skilled. Weak heal.
8. Warrior - the build in itself is good, but too many counters make it weak. Run skill is good, but it requires adrenalin. Self heal is ok, but it requires adrenaline. And if there's a monk or rt in the team, I'd prefer assassin.
9. Elementalist - ok.. I have yet to try this one so maybe better not to judge it too harshly. But I simply had bad experience with eles in my team so far, never did good with them. Bad self heal. Has snares though.
10. Paragon - Absolutely horrible and utter boredom. Don't touch this!

Some teams can do that, but most of the time the outcome is clear from the first minute or so. Teams that drag the match on as a formality are somewhat annoying - but for the players just playing to mess around, you can't really blame them.

QFT!!

I hate those teams that just give up, if you are going to enter the battle then fight till the end, if not keep your sorry a$$ out of the game.

That is all!

shadows of hob · Oct 27, 2008, 01:45 PM // 13:45

On the first day, I tried to explain my fellow teamplayers that never played CB before what they had to do. I just stopped after a day, because they 1. dont listen anyway 2. mostly do exactly the opposite of what you say 3. say STFU noob and charge in and die. It only maked me feel very sad, because those players will never learn.

Even before the game starts, you can see which players are somehow decent anyway. Like people that still pick up their pre made weapon makes me /sigh.

Well 9/10 the other side sucks as well, You can tell if a team sucks because they dont know how to use skills like bulls.
If you have 2 or more people on a team who dont suck you tend to win anyway.
