GL with your tourny bullyfoot

Can we broadcast them and let people watch each match?

Excited to watch =)

absolutely broadcast it, highly encouraged

Boosters allowed?Pre-buffing alacrity allowed?Rifle warriors from stands allowed?

all holds barred, may the best build win

interference will not be tolerated and you must be in the arena, not the stands

Whoever is gonna be broadcasting please let us know too, I wanna watch.

Why not just delay it until Anet gets their instanced GvG or whatever running. People are gonna end up fighting in the 1x1 guild halls abusing 500 damage per hit retal, 600 damage per hit Loss Aversions, and other janky pve balance.

dont delay, gvg needs supporting by player activity

Twitch.tv/GregorPayne if any guilds want a streamer.

Also I'll play for any guild cuz there's no roster limit teehee.

@Caysadia.7405 said:Why not just delay it until Anet gets their instanced GvG or whatever running.

cause counting on anet to provide support for GvG anytime in the near future is doubtful, especially since they havent in the last 5 years

Wow, BullyFoot, great job! Keep it up! Proud of you! :D And may the best guild win! :D

Couple questions.

Mounts allowed in GH?PVE downstate skill allowed in GH?Are individual players allowed to play for different guilds(IE ringers)?Is pre-buffing allowed(Even to the extent of having a pit-crew of players outside the 15 in the GvG stacking boons on the 15 players)?Can guilds/players donate additional gold/mats to the prize pool?Can the brackets be constructed so that the top team in the losers bracket gets a shot at the top team in the winners bracket(Traditional tourny style to prevent the two top teams from meeting early in the bracket and never getting a chance to see each other again)?

No mountsOnce person is downed, they cannot be re rezed until match is overAs long as there representing the guild, that's fine, at the end, they can only be in 1 guild, I'm not going to track everyone who tries to join multiples. But its very discouragedPre Buffing is allowed only by the 15 in the squad, not by outside sources, this would be considered cheating and will get you disqualifiedSure, just know its non refundable and added to the potYes, its a double elimination

Core builds only? Or does this include HoT/PoF elites?

This isn't what he's asking. In PvE there's a 5th downstate skill that's unlockable through Living Story that passively life steals when you attack and when used applies unblockable Agony, Confusion, Cripple, Blind and Torment in a huge radius.

As long as both parties understand fighting at the GH and the ramifications behind it, it is there choice. I understand Wvw stats and Pve stats differ especially in the Guild Hall. But if both parties choose it, well have at it

Alright so another thing I want to make clear is that Guilds will have the choice to fight between OS, EoTM or G hall. We will let the the guilds / guild leaders decide where they want to fight.

how bout 30 vs 30 or 50 vs 50 or more for the real GvGs15 vs 15 seems a bit low....that would prevent the veterans to stack on one guild to have the edge then disband afterwards for the Geez

The problem is most guilds aren't big enough for that large amount, maybe in the future...

most guilds on the pve/pvx division are 300+ memberspvp guilds more or less 20s membersactive wvw guilds have an average of 30 members online for a raid

oh well, goodluck with the tourney, hope it comes to life

GvG has been 15v15 since the beginning of GW2, sometimes occasionally venturing into the 20v20 territory. So if your guild runs bigger than that, feel free to pick out your best 15 players (plus a few subs) and join with them.

There really aren't enough veterans left to care anymore, most guilds are playing with only a handful of older player and majorly younger players.

(if you really do want to do bigger numbers there's Server v Server that some servers will occasionally do)

Anyways, Bully, best of luck!
