Hey, there,

Just wanted to make sure you'd seen the news post on www.guildwars.com about the start of the newest "Fun Season" for the ladder. The ladder will reset tonight at Midnight PDT (ok, for you nice Europeans, that's Friday at 07:00 GMT) and we're off on a 1-month race for fun gameplay and prizes.

Check out the goods on the website, and hope to see your guild on the ladder!

Well, that was sudden. Did we have prior knowlage of this?

Zinger314 · Jul 21, 2006, 04:54 AM // 04:54

Permanent Gold Trim? Let the guild invite whoring begin.

Don't need any prior knowledge for "fun season". It's a surprise! We all like surprises, don't we?

It shouldn't be a surprise by now...

Just shows that Anet is actually run by smart people who know what they are doing.

Lampshade · Jul 21, 2006, 05:51 AM // 05:51

Sad that only EviL, WM, and one other will get the prizes.

linh · Jul 21, 2006, 06:12 AM // 06:12

Cool prizes but EvIL doesn't need more gold trim for their cape

Here I was just hoping that MAYBE this had something to do about purchasing character slots... but here we are still being left in the dark.

A real skill balance would surprise me. Maybe even make me care about winning.

Sad that everyone else will sit down and let them take it.

Let's face it, everyone else just uses builds that these guilds come up with. Instead of being a rich PvP experience, everyone just ends up copying each other these days. Right down to the skillbar.

So instead of being epic 'Guild Wars' (I get extra points for using the name of the game here) It's just the same few guilds dominating the top. We all know who they are, they've been doing it for AGES now.

Go do something about it, THINK up new builds. In a worldwide game such as this, you're going to have to put in effort if you really want to be good. You have to be smart, strategic, unique.

What's that you say? "How can I just go and compete with a guild like Last Pride?! Are you nuts?!"

The truth is though, they're only human, and we've all got the same skills to use...

Also this kinda belonged in a thread of its own. Didn't plan for it to be this long...

EDIT -- Also, What ARE you moaning about? A Fun PvP season is still something. What, would you rather nothing at all? Some people...

Slainster · Jul 21, 2006, 10:38 AM // 10:38

so much enthusiasm guys.. cmon!

Theres only so much "unique" to be thought up in a game, and thats all it is... just a game. Yeah im all for unique, but its not like you can just wake up one morning and decide to change mending into 30 pip regen :P

Tingi · Jul 21, 2006, 11:03 AM // 11:03

meh. What's the point in giving these top guilds, EvIL, WM etc, even MORE prizes..
