You do realize youre asking that about HoH? :) Always has been gimmicks, always will be. :P

Grats though

  HackingHippie89 on 05/19/08 14:01

you're nobody to act like you know the concepts of pvp

yes, ha is dominated by gimmick builds, but there are just as many teams running balanced builds...its your choice whether or not to gogogogoredenginegoredenginegoredenginego your way to r9 then rank people thinking you're cool, or to play a build that requires teamwork and thought to orchestrate properly

  Jackketna on 05/19/08 14:17

I was r2 when i first won and held it 3 times :)

  CorruptNinja on 05/19/08 14:17

And you're nobody to cast prejudgment on people. How do you know what I do and don't do? Believe it or not, the concept of all games is to press buttons. Sometimes in a different order than others. -.- Get over it

  hambones on 05/19/08 15:09

the first time i held halls, i had 19 consecutive wins. ohhhh the good old days of tombs that didn't have pointless AB-like games. just hold the altar...

congrats on winning though

  Ganymede on 05/19/08 15:29

Dang Hippie what is your problem? You just don't attack people on what you think they might know. For all you know he might PvP 24/7 you can't just assume that somone knows nothing and you know everything.

  Future Man on 05/19/08 16:59

Still something i've never accomplished :-/

  Abbot Ramoth on 05/19/08 17:44

well the build we run was made from a guy in a guild called [DF] i think gold trimmed cape. He was with us and this is basically an anti sway build with so much pressure. If you guys want i can run it with you this weekend :P (requires no real spiking except with the sins diff targets) even people not so good would be able to run this.

  Aeon on 05/19/08 19:02

DF is a sold guild. All the people in it now are bad.

Hambones, I herd bspike wuz gud.

  hambones on 05/19/08 19:13

bspike wuz gud like 2 years ago. back when tombs wasn't bullshit AB cap points and relic runs.

  Aeon on 05/19/08 19:14

It has always been bullshit tbh...

  mason717 on 05/20/08 04:05

Grats.

^People take PvP a little to seriously...

Its not like PvE where everyone is a winner.

  mason717 on 05/20/08 06:17

A game is a about fun and in PvE everyone isn't a winner... look at leroy. :p

  hambones on 05/20/08 07:05

i don't take pvp seriously at all. i used to. believe it or not, i actually quit playing for a few months. this game is terrible, i only play to try and get my r8. maybe get my tiger if i'm lucky.

  HackingHippie89 on 05/20/08 11:28

@ ganymede

im not making baseless accusations, im making a valid opinion of him based on his other posts around the site, from those its quite easy to tell who the idiots are

  Ganymede on 05/20/08 17:15

@ Hippie
You do not have to be so harsh as to call him an idiot. Yea HA is won by gimmick builds, but like you said the smallest percentage of those wins are by teams with balanced builds and custom builds. Maybe all of the times he has made it to the halls (if he has) he has gotten there by a gimmick and he thinks thats how HA is run. So you do not need to bash him becuase thats how he took in the concept of PvP. :)

  hambones on 05/20/08 17:26

Why work on an R8 title in a game you find utter crap? Im curious now.
i've been r7 for a while now and i'm 1k from r8. i'm just saying that this game is nothing compared to what it used to be. pvp is just cookie cutter builds. that's all this game is now.

i don't feel like arguing on picture comments though

  HackingHippie89 on 05/20/08 19:15

right so i'll let someone live with the misconception that gimmick is the way ha is played instead of playing smart and using tactics

  Abbot Ramoth on 05/20/08 20:03

what is gimmick btw?

  Hardstrike on 05/21/08 11:58

Winning halls is cool, I never went there. let alone winning it. I managed to win 3 rounds in HA with Iway. even found that more fun than those builds nowadays. so actually never did any HA when I still played. got 31 fame tho :x .


ontopic :D

Gz

  Blazings on 05/21/08 13:04

[DF] is still nr 1 guild, but got sold indeed. Stupid leader O.o

  HackingHippie89 on 05/21/08 21:02

a bit off topic there, arent we blazings?

less DF talk, more me being an ego maniacal asshole because i pointed out that someone is running a rather shitty gimmick build

  Calypso_FtW on 05/22/08 07:21

omg shush don't talk bad about DF..only because the leader sold invites for 100k each and then sold the guild for billions of ectos to some guru guy and not giving a CENT to any of the core members doesn't mean DF is baed!! especially since mr cool deathaxe is in it (kaileen)



  Mother Nature on 05/22/08 19:53

ROFL anyone who says DF is "good" is an idiot...But I highly doubt you held during prime hours, you would never get past underworld imo...must've been during noob hours.

  Abbot Ramoth on 05/22/08 20:40

actually no because after that we fought [Visa] and [Rawr] or w/e it is. But idk there were good guilds out.

  Cleo says lol on 05/22/08 22:45

well grats on hall's

and to the conversation thats happening in the underbelly of this topic, i do believe he has the right to choose which 'build' he uses

alas, it won him HoH which i do believe was the aim?

problem - halls, sollution - build in question, 'problem solved'

that simple

@ hippie, if you wanna use ur thinknig builds thats cool but maybe some people would rather use builds that do not require as much thinking as the ones you use

thats fine

maybe this build requires thiking for him?

anyways, i love how the whole community gets together for tea parties like this -.-

just 'grats' the pic and then leave if it angers u so much imo -.-
lots of love

  Abbot Ramoth on 05/22/08 22:50

actually you know its not the build you play its how you use it. It doesn't matter if its a build you got that everyone plays. You modded it changed it made it better and yes all builds require thinking and tactics otherwise why don't you run this build just grab random people don't explain how to play their build. See if you will win no most likely you will get owned by zaishen. All builds require tactics, thought, and many other things.

  paperclip on 05/23/08 05:08

Since when did sway require tactics and thought? And also it's obvious you won in noob hour as you wouldn't be able to win halls with that build if it wasn't

  paperclip on 05/23/08 05:09

Gz on your first win btw ^^

  Xaviak on 05/23/08 07:29
 
Bunch of apes on parade.... GW@Amp delivers again.

  Xaviak on 05/23/08 07:31
 
Gratz btw.

  Abbot Ramoth on 05/23/08 08:38

And obviously we can win halls at any time. And yes even Sway requires tactics and thought. If a build doesn't require tactics and thought then basically try running your build without thinking. Well without thinking you can't even activate skills because you have to think about that. You need to determine what your target is who are you going to attack so that your team will win.

  Abbot Ramoth on 05/23/08 08:43

We had been running this build and many others in that day for about 4 hours or more and you are basically saying that we suck. You are just saying that we can't win the "Good" guilds. We have won halls many time now. And yes this build has potential. Obviously we won halls? Even though it was a skip. The A/mo's need to Micro their hero eles. So that during the Knock down they will use their AoE dmg. We attacked the monks while the R/D got their Mesmer or Necro. The E/P snared when they bunched up together. And without good monks this would not be possible. Even if we ran Sway we had planned out the tactics which requires thinking. Now you are saying that builds require no thought and tactics. Well you are wrong and obviously you do not HA.

  Aeon on 05/23/08 09:44

@hippie: HA, like tombs before it, is dominated by gimmicks. Always has been, always will be.

@abbot: If you truly believe that, then I wish you all the luck in the world - you'll need it if you go to TA or GvG.

  Abbot Ramoth on 05/23/08 20:23

Well i do GvG and TA and I don't run HA builds because builds for HA are set up for HA and builds for GvG are set up for gvg
