There's only the raw stream recording up right now but someone will be uploading vods to youtube in the coming days. I'll post those links up once they're uploaded.  For previous months (new vods will be uploaded here as well) you can view them here: http://www.youtube.com/GWGApok On October 30 2011 15:51 theonemephisto wrote: Man, this is all kinds of nostalgia. I played guild wars a lot up until a bit after nightfall was released. How is the metagame doing nowadays? Those N/E/R midlines look like fun, kind of brings me back to the fire ele/summon necro builds that rift (I think rift, can't remember) used to run way back in the day for steamrolling through ladder games. The meta is doing pretty good right now, though it's only been that way for the past six months or so. The most recent crazy changes was an overhaul on almost all dervish skills, so it took some time for that to calm down and be ironed out with updates. For the most part you see quite a variety of builds these days, though. Nothing like what you used to see, since there's been so many change since then, but there's at least no one build or strategy dominating the meta, which is nice.. you see a good mix of spike, pressure, and split every single month. Unfortunately the main thing holding GvG back at the moment is lack of players. The American scene is on its dying days (only 3-4 contenders for 1st each month). The European scene is pretty active still, but the game as a whole is nowhere near as active as it used to be. | ||

From the couple games I've watched it seems like a good meta. Not a huge number of spikes, but they're there (finals was hilarious). As I said, I like the balanced pressure build that seems to be pretty popular, and the prevalence of rangers makes my heart happy. The cripshot was by far my favorite character, both to watch and play. Though those split mesmers boggle my mind. I guess I may be (far) behind the curve on skills, but a mesmer on split? And not dying instantly? And doing useful things? Glad to see its doing well. I'm guessing most people are looking forward to GW2 though? Considering the lack of players, it seems that that will mark the end of GW. EDIT: Also, wtf happened to VoD? This new mechanic is too weird, based on damage to guild lord? At first glance, not really a fan, how does it play? | ||
