[RAWR] GvG! (Instructions)

So all you lovely RAWR member's (or alliance members) reading this, you may just wonder; "What exactly is GvG?" in the first place. Well, it's a 8 vs 8 (Guild vs Guild) Scrimmage that is auto-hosted in your Guild-Hall when you decide to enter with your team of 8. But you can't just do it that easily; there's a few guidelines you need to go by before just entering one yourself.

• Make sure you have at least 4 people from your own Guild your team will be representing. I can't even count how many times me and some friends will be asking tons of friends to join us for GvG and then finally realize that we don't even have 4 original Guild Members for the GvG. What a waste of time yeah?
  
  
• Only 3 Hero's maximum are allowed for GvG usage. That means if you have only 5 people (which of course remember 4 have to be in the Guild) available to play, you will be able to GvG using 3 Heroes, but if you have only the 4 original Guild Members wanting to GvG; you better start getting your guesting skills out (which brings me to my next point).
  
  
• Learn 2 Guest! Guesting just means asking someone from anywhere (could be anywhere from inside the Alliance, to a friend in a completely different guild), so if you need a 5th or 6th or 8th person to come play if you're not in the mood for heroes, you can guest them to the Guild to come play! (if you're not an officer than you can probably just ask an officer to guest whoever it is who is coming to play for the guild).
  
  
• Lastly, GvG is most often won using Common Sense (something I don't have according to Dies). If you think something should happen, or is about to happen, just say it. Most likely in the end; even if you weren't right, it was better to take the precaution anyways. Also whenever GvG'ing you will usually have a designated "Caller" in the party, usually a tank or main up-front class, so listening to what they are directing with tactics is strongly advised (this is also who you would report the things you are noticing in the battle).
  

So that's enough for learning some rules to GvG, here is how some mechanics work inside of GvG to lead you to victory:

• Flag Stand: An object central to a GvG map that grants a 10% morale boost and a bonus +300 health to the Guild Lord of the team that can hold it for two minutes, using their team's Flag (spawned in the center of their fort).
  
  
• Winning Conditions: Kill the enemy Guild Lord, have all opposing players reach 60% Death Penalty, or in the event that time runs out, whichever team has dealt the most damage to the opposing team's Guild Lord will be declared the winner.
  
  
• Death Respawn: You can be either rezzed by a teammate during the battle, or you can (and will) be rezzed every 2 minutes back to your Guild's fort rez. If you are to reach 60% DP, you will no longer be rezzed every 2 minutes of the GvG, but you are still able to be rezzed by a teammate.
  

Okay sorry for posting so much, but if there is anyone who didn't know much about GvG, or needed to learn just certain aspects, I'd strongly advise you to read what I have just typed (much-ly appreciated to me also spending the time typing it)

Thanks,

r we accually doing GVG? i know sifo tried to do gvg but we stopped and sifo left.... ill be happy to do gvg again... i can do rit/sin flag runner or roj monk

[Tokyo[RAWR]]

No, we dont n_n
But maybe we should try to do it again.
I just dont think we have any good GvGers in our alliance.

Ok How about our Saturday night timeslot. Nothing is happening then but plenty of ppl online. GvG Practice Sessions are on the 7/8/9pm timeslot. Maybe earlier for Tokyo!! I want interested RAWR officers in charge. I know Kazard, Vanestaa and Tokyo are keen on GvG, and we cant GvG without an officer or leader present. And you know I suck at PvP so it wont be me in charge.

We cant jump into GvG without practice!!

We need
- co-ordinating officer/s
- someone familiar with the meta (its probably not water magic mesmers anymore >.>) or we watch Observer mode...
- at least 8 core GvGers with others as stand-ins - at least 4 from RAWR, with at least one officer

We need to practice so that
- we work well together
- familiarise with different maps
- can do different splits
- run different builds

etc.

We can scrim 4v4 to practise splits, fight unrated gvg with other guilds in alliance, fight 8v8 amongst ourselves etc

Yes let's have this!

[Tokyo[RAWR]]

Thats a great idea, Toby! We should definitely start the GvG-thing up again ^^
