If they tone down Blinding Surge and Blinding Flash a bit, I'll reconsider rolling melee in RA. I'm also seeing a huge influx of casters being used in RA simply because no one wants to be perma-blinded the whole match by a blindbot brainlessly mashing one or two f'ing keys the whole match. That is part the current state of RA from my experiences.

Umm, the RenO syncs I form up very rarely lose in RA (and if they do it's against Sleepy, Choad, etc) so I have no idea what you guys are talking about.

Don't hate because my boys spank you all day

PS: Sankt, seriously, who are you?
PPS: Also be nice to the newbie leechers in RenO (there's a few), everyone has to start somewhere

Haven't run into any full RenO syncs so I have no idea either. But the few gold capers I've seen from various guilds(yours included) have been mostly disappointing. Especially this guild LDoF(or something like that) with a silver cape. Horrible.

Who am I? Mostly just a guru troll tbh. Occasionally you'll see me in RA running some weird bar whenever I'm feeling inspired. We shared a loss together a couple of weeks back, that's the only time I can remember running into you.

EDIT: Don't reply to Regulus' posts, they get deleted or edited!

RA is all about spamming your skills the fastest anyway.

So , how proud you feel when you win the poor " firestorm and frenzy warriors " trying to have 5 wins with your sync-meta build team?
They should delete all pvp outposts srsly , deleting the 2 most fair places ( i talk about fair yes , not about farm since every pvp places are farmed anyway ) and leaving out the 3 others w/o any update is just totally pathetic .

urania · Apr 30, 2010, 09:47 AM // 09:47

Because people never farmed TA nor HB, yes. Any other gems of wisdom we should know of?

Missing HB · Apr 30, 2010, 10:09 AM // 10:09

That's what i did say , every pvp place is farmed anyway , but you obviously don't read all , since i talked about how fair fights are. In HB you could win with whatever build , win only depended on yourself / TA , everyone played the same build , so the best with it won . Now , RA , as i said , poor firestormers farmed by sync team / HA , as we told a lot , unfair 1v1 halls or whatever .

The point is HB was deleted because , as they said , the arena was too much farmed ( title farmed , not because of quest, since people did abuse it after it was said it would be deleted ) . TA was replaced with almost the same arena so ,..

But , why don't they just delete RA and GvG then since people do sync title , thus can sync quest too then. I just want a valid argument finally for once .

You're going to have to provide a valid argument before you can expect one from everyone else.

Honorable way to get a glad title....

I am no1, but at least i dont suck so much to the point of having to sync every match to get a stupid glad title whitch means nothing but lameziness (yes many glad titles are farmed with Ebon hawck+stoning on theyr bars or with Vor+rollyourfaceintokeyboard+empaty)

Have fun being farmed in RA.

btw i think it is important to share my findings of RA lately:

Playing melle generally means geting 0 heals and/or 0 rupters on his team after 10 runs in a row but getting and oposing team with at least one of the folowing: bsurge, Vor+Empathy, Stonig+Ebon Hawk (ele or mesmer), curses necro with insidious parasite+fainth

Playing monk generally means getting at least another monk in team

Playing necro or mesmer generally means getting 2 or 3 rupters in oponet team

Ok, this 24/7 over 10 or more monthes in a row, is freaking boring and really not random at all.

Missing HB · Apr 30, 2010, 02:39 PM // 14:39

Most people would say that you are just unlucky , but to be honest , that's what i get too

.
I would also add that :
When you want to try some build , you end up having ok team-up , like 1 healer +ranger+melee or w/e , who will just complain/ask you to leave because your build isn't that good .
Almost every time you win some with 0 heal , you can be sure you end up fighting hexers/poison rangers + 1-2monks on 4-5th fight .

So yes , those things i keep getting are annoying , but i still think it's just unluck

Seems he did have more of those gems of wisdom in store.

The reason why HB was deleted was, according to anet, a corrupted/degenerative meta and abuse of AI along with certain map-related skill abuses (teleports, most notably), both being way beyond any possibilities of recovery. that, and a relatively low player base (at least it could be considered low in comparison to the pve player base and RA player base).

I don't know what instance of HB you were playing, but unless you honestly did not care about winning, you had but a handful of builds (especially hero builds) which gave a fair chance of winning a match.

Moreover, the only thing TA shares with CA is the number of players in a team and the fact that four real players play it.

Next time please keep those gems to yourself.

Syncing is the smartest way of going about farming gladiator points, tbh. They don't suck because they're going about it in the most successful manner rather than not syncing and winding up with 3 random scrubs with utterly inferior skill bars. Though it may shift the odds out of the favor of many players, do you really think that doing away with syncing would make any difference if those "many" kept rolling inferior builds like that of a Firestorm warrior?

Sorry to say, but alot of the players in RA and have no clue as to what's best in builds/skills to use in PvP, and they think that putting 7-8 random attacks/spells is gonna get them anywhere is just LOL-worthy to me.

In summary: bad players are baaaad, the syncers are gonna rick-roll them every single time, and the bad players are gonna "BAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWW" on the forums because they're not good at the game and just can't figure out "why". All I have to say to those who fall under this category: get better, ask the more experienced players, and actually "LISTEN" to them instead of going off on your own little tangent of "Oh, I think my ideas are bettar. Mending iz g00d, I think I'll go with that!" mentality like many players I've talked to in pm.

Sankt Hallvard · Apr 30, 2010, 07:45 PM // 19:45

So what you're saying is that syncing is great because the bad players would lose anyway and now you're doing them a favor by losing even quicker and more often?

In addition you think that bad players end up here on the forums to qq about losing, while they should instead send pm's to the syncers that beat them and ask for advice?

Let me give you a quick reality update. Asking the hot shots in RA for advice is like approaching the bully at school and asking him for some help with your homework. You're gonna get beat up/flamed.

Second I'm having problems spotting these forum qq'ers you talk about. Mostly I just see the regular glad pt farmer showing up here bragging about how he just farmed his g10 through RA syncing.

i'm sorry but the sync teams who spank you in RA are the same ones who would spank you in TA. the reason all these ppl sync is because there is no TA. with sync you can make upwards of 100 glad points a day, meaning the old TA players who want their next glad title can get it without enduring the 3-4 glad points a day you get with FDS warriors and Mo/Rt's.

also, i don't know what syncs u face, but the ones i roll/face are usually nicely balanced because everyone's kinda over running shitter bars. ie W R N Mo or stuff like W E Me Mo. i had a pretty fun W R N Mo mirror match last night between 2 syncs and it was the closest feeling to TA in a while.

the reason you fight those builds is because they are strong templates (well idk about the earth ele.. personally i think it's bad). if everyone was running horrible, weak bars with poor synergy wouldn't you put together stronger bars that worked well???

QQ more please

Greedy Gus · May 01, 2010, 03:55 AM // 03:55

The problem is that now a pure RA title used to mean something to people. So you have people who spent way too much time building up their glad rank in TA, now have to farm RA with an unfair advantage to 'finish g9/g10' or whatever. It's unfortunate that your TA was taken away, but seriously move on.

Personally I have little patience for anyone who plays for titles, because all formats were better before their addition to the game.
