Gauntlgrym battleground - pugs, keep it alive

vinceent1

Suggestion for pugs - que for gauntlgrym battleground, its start popping sometimes in new module, its our best desire (as pugs) keep it alive, since premade cant control everything there and they can be even possibly kicked in the .... there (it happening before and its sweet experience show them how unskilled they are)

A premade may not be able to control all nodes in there but they sure as hell can hunt down and kill everyone in a very short time. Keep in mind these guys have the fastest mounts and offensive stats in the tens of thousands so before long they are down there at your spawn point and you are up there idling by the fire. And no, even 5 or 6 normal players cant kill a single bis guy who knows what hes doing. He might actually kill all of them.

Im not trying to discourage anyone from playing PVP with this statement however no need to delude ourselves that gauntl or any other mode can be balanced. We simply cant have balance as long as the game keeps matching together people with large gaps in Item Level

your post is completely wrong and outdated

i never see bis premade there since mod 10, no spawn camping. sure there are bis players, but if your team bis player focus other team bis player (good ones will do) you can have good fight with others. One team can contain more bis players then the second and win, but you still can have many good duels, at least you are not forced to play full premade - thats the point for many, always was.

all we need is keeping numbers of pugs and not bis premades high and bis premades will no longer completely own it again. even seals drop here for win

Well vince my post is actually based on the few Gauntl games i played last night - the first in a long time. My side won them all and I didnt even have to inspect people I could tell by how fast they were gettin downed that the opposing team had low to moderate gear while my team was mostly 3k and above... Take it as you may but thats what I experienced there. It was a worse stomp than even some dominations

well if you see 3000IL characters as too strong for you, there is no hope for you, you are either completely new or too casual to get somewhere.

my experience -

if you go domination (10 players), there are mostly 3-5 bis players on enemy side and 0-2 on my side, so completely pointless

if you go GG (20 players) there are probably 2-3 bis players at all

if you dont see difference then i dont know

in other words, domination is only about matchmaking luck, at gg you can make serious fight

jonkoca

Yeah, I like GG too, everybody Q!!!!

I always q for Dom and GG, but only Dom pops. Played one GG in last 3 weeks--and I loved it. GG is all I did the first 6 mos. I PVP'd. I always thought of it as "bowling league" PVP, and Dom was for BIS

Can you get seals of triumph from Gauntlgrym?

first daily win ofc

Tried GG - queue took forever and match did too. Only good part was I racked up a few more NPC kills is all. Was faced with a premade, but the match still took several times longer as hopeless DOM match.

Might still be a good glory farm thanks to the grym coins, but the queue takes much too long for it to be effective.

@kvet

Your right it isn't as efficient as Dom for farming glory (assuming you don't run into a premade), but it's still a good way to get glory and not laggy and full of companion glitchers like SH siege. Plus there is the chance to complete some of the PvP campaign for the boons if you haven't done so.

Many of us cut our teeth in GG. We will on occasion head into GG with an alliance premade of 10 players. We faced a full BL premade and kicked their sorry butts. The strategies in Dom are different than the strategies in GG... and BL was out manned. As far as the popping, I have only been in 4 of them in 6 months. I even waited 90 minutes before I gave up on the queue.

It is more about using it for experience.
