The 9 Types Of Guild Wars 2 Players

[@nameless5646]

Honestly "hi dps" deserves to be it's own category.

[@Kantharr]

I seen someone jokingly joined a group with "hi heals" when that group already got its boon covered lol

[@GrumpyCouchPotato]

And then there are the omega Chad's: Hi ... can... Filllllll...

Hi fill

That's so me 😂

Hello

[@Modsognir]

"I'm looking for a warrior with damage, quickness, killproof, 500 LI" best remix in GW2 history By Ogden's Hammer.

[@UrokayLP]

Is that remix actuelly a thing? I cant find it, if it is. Please help

[@Noody]

The cat chasing a laser pointer was honestly the best analogy I have ever heard when it comes to zergs chasing solo's 🤣🤣

[@hilanddoug]

That one guy trying to do his dailies... 😂😂

[@bertoandon9681]

It's so red and shiny, so clearly wants to be chased or it wouldn't run

[@branwell]

"Random bullshit go!" is my new battlecry. 😂

[@tenaciousrodent6251]

I got to "Legendary paragon" just by mashing buttons myself.

[@scullyy]

"You just had a long day at work and don't want to deal with people" *launches an MMO*

[@moviemaniacdjp]

I don't know about you but a lot of people play MMOs solo because they enjoy the feeling of having other people around but not necessarily having to interact with them.

[@Whiskerbrew]

🎶Damage.. Quickness.. Killproof.. 500 LI...🎶 Gonna be singing that every time I look in LFG...😂Love the vid Lara! Well worth the long wait! 🤩

[@Ahmintar]

I think we need a music video!

[@VoleresJ]

@@Ahmintar I'd offer myself as a background singer for that one xD

[@heyfell4301]

[@StationOfbarny]

Fractal players should have gotten their own entry; they are a different breed of players.. No, different breed of humans.

[@NjalStormcaller]

FRACTALS?! IT'S TIME FOR FRACTALS?! Er. I mean..

[@Kaltsukka]

Some of the high tier fractal players are absolutely insufferable. CMs are not that hard but they act like you need to have the most optimal super builds and know all skips to clear them.

[@tyburkulosis8799]

@@Kaltsukka That's why I always run them with my guild. We use meta builds sometimes and sometimes we use meme builds like healbender. Always a fun time though! Every once in a while I'll join a pug and quickly realize just how unfun it is when you don't know the people you're playing with.

[@waddehaddedudedah]

raiders category :P

[@MithrilSludge6541]

4/5 LF HB, are my *favorite* Chrono and other healers with Stab exist..m

[@hilanddoug]

I think this is the most laughs you've ever stuffed into one video. And can we stop for a moment to acknowledge the editing and sound? Not just the great remixes by the guest remixer, but the sight gags and matching sound effects sprinkled throughout the video to punctuate the point with a laugh. You're always entertaining, Laranity, but you've raised the bar on this one. Well done!

[@martinsvard89]

You didnt mention the "TP Barons". Always thinking of new ways to expand their wealth. Having the smallest playtime of all players, just logging in 2 times a day for 10 min to do their flips and still have enough gold to swim in.

[@michram]

I have done it all, I had relentlessly farmed fractals every single day, I had farmed WvW, PvP, Raids, Strikes, Dungeons, Done the Story multiple times, Role-played as Lilith and became a cult-leader... But... I think I am a 10th type of players, that became completely immersed by the music of GW2 - I know every single track, the names, the musical motives - I could write a book on the way GW2's music corresponds with the story and the world... I AM A MUSIC NERD!!!!

[@darkwulf2k]

It's fun when you get a combo player, the 10th type imho. I was strugglin with the chalice jump puzzle, and a kind mesmer commander offered to take a group of us through. As he did, he roleplayed the fuck outta it, and was a hilarious, and enjoyable, and memorable experience.

[@bobiboulon]

Precious moments, this kind!

[@Dani-Chappell]

Was it the joker/batman guy? He was a blast my first time through before I learned the JP for myself

[@darkwulf2k]

[@Nicolas-cf6xj]

Oh, he helped me too!! 🤣

[@Tzu13]

"You don't have to worry about the choya." That honestly just makes me even more worried...

[@kaelinvictus6039]

Since we're roasting everyone let's not forget the 10th type of player: The Leecher. Whether its scaling up metas or siphoning off WvW participation you can count on them to get carried at any cost. "Some must fight so that all can loot. Welcome to the Leechers."

[@Feaniel]

But can they really count as "players", then? /s

As a fellow Open World Reaper main, you described it perfectly

[@sashostoev1743]

13:51 :D I find it highly irresponsible that you have not uploaded this hit to youtube and there is no link in the description to it xD

[@Spagoody]

Fantastic video, you've really outdone yourself on this one! Side note: I just want to point out the random Seraph NPC perfectly blending in with the socialites at 11:09 😄

[@Czasoniks]

As always - it's well made video and I'm happy I had occasion to help making it! :D (Especially part with Warclaws and me surfing on them XD 7:29 )

[@PrinzPapiertuete]

I love the editing and amount of footage you recorded for this. Awesome!

[@rgentry9]

I'm surprised you didn't mention barons. There are some types of people who are focused primarily on making money.

[@coffeedart_gw2]

You can't roast someone who never plays the game and only logs in to talk to 1 NPC, the bltc merchant

[@emmrahilgw2893]

as a player who was legendary rank in PvP for years and now play WvW hardcore i am surprised how funny and accurate was your comments for both game modes.. honestly i find most of your content great and is good to see some person who actually dont play those game modes hardcore have so clear opinion about them

[@raarsi-dar]

"You may die, but that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make"....pretty sure you need a sign saying that whenever you're trying to lead something while streaming. Preferably with a picture of the burning choya.

[@icata12345]

im gonna use this when i tag on ebg and feed in the castle 😂

[@aurorka1770]

"Open World Mains are also meticulous inventory organisers" Not me :D I live for cosy and friendly open world content... and for pure chaos in inventory! muahahaha 😈🤣

[@eirh]

The WvW one is incredibly accurate. We don't care about winning the matchup and are proud about it.

[@madpanda9883]

Where have you been? Have you seen T1 when there are millions of clouds and supply trap every step you take 😂

[@hilanddoug]

But that one guy who IS will let you know about it in map chat! Or he'll PM you as soon as you log in, "We hate your server! Get lost!" Even when you're on the same team!

[@poopmonkey48]

I do not want to win father. Father, I crave violence.

[@jhmi7877]

As a WvW main for 10 years at this point, I would disagree--but only to an extent. In my experience, there's a lot of us that care for more than just "good fights". It's just that Anet has made it difficult to actually care about those things. Plus, caring about the other aspects of WvW is actually pretty important if good fights are to be had, but people's focus tend to be too narrow for this to even be considered.

[@Northernsolstice]

Fun video! The commander quivering in anxiety at all of their squad members' criticism made me lol

[@radastir]

Being tired of not being able to join full meta maps? - Become a commander, and make your own full maps...

Great video Lara! I learned that i used to be an open world enjoyer, but now I'm a proud homesteader

[@michellelasalle2705]

I love this a stupid amount! You did such a great job with the video and it was well worth the wait~!

[@jacksel9298]

Can i just say that i love all of your character's fashion sets... Simply amazing! (yes... even Togan Lhackery) XD

[@jacksel9298]

Also in my case i'm a mix of about half of these selections. Mostly staying away from pvp and wvw, but other than that... It's good to get a little glimpse of every type of player

[@Aryistia_]

I had a blast watching this! You made the video really well. (I also really want a Spotify version of „Damage, Quickness, Killproof, 500 LI“ at the end of the video, it‘s so good!)

[@eon6274]

I was dying at the raider one because it's true for more than just GW2. I did soo much WoW raiding and I felt it in my soul. After you've done the fights a lot people get impatient with wipes, but if it's new people will bang their head (raid) against the wall for hours until it's down. I would be happy to have some challenge as a healer by way of others messing up, but by gods if I had to handle the proverbial cannon on my 342352th run I'm gonna lose it

Ok this is the most funny GW2 video ive seen in quite a while , thank you for making that video. You're dutch i presume as i hear your accent , in dat geval echt grote klasse !!!!! Goed om te zien dat er toppertjes zoals jij in de game zitten . ;)

[@niravelniflheim1858]

As an Open World Main, I must say, "What do you mean you have your bags merged? Don't you have them individual, with auto-sorting properties to make your life easier? Have you even heard of Oiled Packs, Invisible Packs, Craftsman's Bags, and so on? You need to get your auto-sort meta on! Also, be sure to have at least 200 slots and a variety of infinite tools. And the World Boss Portal Device. (Banners and feasts are a nice touch.)"

[@AuroraPeachy]

"Pretty sure they're the only ones who buy transmutation charges." 😂😂😂

[@Psoewish]

As an AP collector, I feel way too called out here, because we’re technically part of all these categories (how else are we gonna chase the AP?) So this was just a full video of roasting me. :)

[@rbardy]

True. I spent A LOT of time chasing tags in WvW, more hundreds of hours in PvP blaming others and proud of my skills, doing some Raids as "hi DPS" and avoiding mechanics like the plague even tagging up as commander for some open world metas that no one was doing but I needed for AP

[@jaslyn3705]

Was wondering when this video was coming out and its already here! Saw some of the filming process live on twitch and that was already fun. The finished product turned out hilarious :D

[@Kossage]

Thanks for the video and fun summaries! I'd also like to propose two other player types with a bit of tongue in cheek commentary to match yours. :) 1) Lorehound These players are basically a combination of open world main and roleplayer to some extent, perhaps overlapping with raiders in some sense depending on how invested they are in instanced content lore. Their main purpose is to not roleplay or raid etc necessarily but to get immersed in the world of Tyria, experiencing all the lore everywhere and finding all those juicy lore books, hunting down rarely triggering ambient dialogue to learn cool new details that may increase their appreciation for Tyrian worldbuilding or reveal new or obscure lore that blows their mind (e.g. the idea that skritt believe in an afterlife called Bright Hollow). Because they're so invested in the lore that they know it more thoroughly than most people (or claim to know it even better than the narrative team themselves) and may even obsess about it quite a bit, they get incredibly frustrated when they think the story isn't long enough with even more optional dialogue to experience, there aren't enough dialogue variants for race/sex/profession/order/story choices, and lore books with one or two pages are woefully short as they keep hoping for more 8-page books like "The Four Djinn." Because of their investment in lore, they may also spot plot holes, retcons, writing problems (tone, clarity etc) and view that the plot and characters weren't used to their fullest extent or think that certain characterizations were off and thus distracting, so they often get upset with certain elements of the plot and think they could've written the story better. 2) Wiki editor (or Wikki krewe) These players spent a lot of time wandering around the game documenting all sorts of things on Tyria depending on their area of interest. Whether it's hunting down all ambient dialogue (especially the obscure stuff), counting all the named NPCs or ambient creatures in an area or poi to record to the respective page, or figure out e.g. what skills you gain as a thief from stealing from this or that enemy. The one common denominator these varied editors have is that whether it's lore, mechanics or other things, they diligently record it in wiki, sometimes spending hours at a time just writing things down and standing still, barely playing the game if at all. New releases (particularly big ones like expac launches or quarterly releases) lead to editors' panic mode that can last for weeks or longer as they get drowned in all the new stuff flooding in that needs to be recorded ASAP, so they run around like headless chickens at times to record this or that stuff. All the while less wiki-versed players keep complaining how this or that character, area, skill etc article is woefully incomplete, or how some collection's page needed to be ready yesterday with detailed instructions on where to find some npc, how to locate or craft items etc. and that the editors are lazy for not working around the clock. Which can lead to frustration on the editors who try their best as their time allows. But they do also receive love from the community that often praise the GW wikis as some of the most comprehensive in the entire gaming industry, so much so that even the devs themselves often crossreference the player wikis for information due to the excellent formatting and content.

[@Anzamj]

1st. 3:55 this is the reason why i always do canons in Wing 1 tbh 😑 2nd. love the fashion on 12:27 😮

[@VoleresJ]

Great video Miss Scampi :3 The comparison of WvW mains to a cat chasing a laser pointer is spot on.. at least for me. Plus: I love that the WvW clip of Lara leading her squad into death was included. Clipping that during stream gave me the giggles for solid 10 minutes xD

[@Laranity]

If you hadnt clipped it, it probably wouldn't have been in the video!

[@VoleresJ]

@@Laranity Happy to be useful :D

[@bencerf]

Amazing video, thank you Lara !!

[@Leafycoke]

The suu won theme at 4:21 on MO was on point.

[@7head7metal7]

08:16 back on Drakkar Lake this was called "doing a Baba" lol But I've done this too before as a commander, it is so embarrassing! And yeah, the conflict between ppt (points per tick, aka mainly capturing and defending objectives) and ppk (points per kill) is quite real. Looks like Lara has revealed herself to be part of team ppt with her rant :P

[@kc_for_now]

Lara...absolutely fantastic vid. You put a boatload of effort into it and it shows. Absolutely 100%!!

[@herec0mestheCh33f]

3:40 unironically, i was surprised by the fact that I could take some of my dark souls reflexes and use them in gw2 for dodging annoying attacks and for landing split second pulls on rolling players. Good times. Glad my partner talked me into this game (I haven't actually touched raids tho, I'm a an open worlder turned filthy WvWer)

[@Fishpasta4]

As a comfy pve commander myself who recently stepped into wvw for the first time in 8 years to take advantage of the reward track xp buff I learnt that 'pve' is now used in place of 'noob' by wvw players looking to insult each other. Which I found absolutely hilarious.

[@Pauete007]

so... is that crazy good last musical beat in spotify or what? LOVED IT! ❤

[@Jmvars]

7:57 One dude followed me from that tower all the way to the jumping puzzle while constantly throwing dismount spears that I dodged. In case people don't know, that's a trek across the entire map. He then killed me, I went back, and he was waiting for me inside the vault with necro marks at the entrance. Some people just have infinite time on their hands.

[@TheDarq0n]

As a open worlder/socialite I feel personally attacked so good!

[@faithharral8475]

This was awesome. I was chuckling the entire time. ❤

[@classy5208]

There is 1 group in Shaemoor waypoint, only mainly gathers on weekends. I would call them "quitters" who reached the endgame (Og's) don't really do anything just sit there and talk or troll newbies. But ive seen sometimes about even 30-40 people there.

[@Berneri]

lara, i have always enjoyed your videos but something about this one clicks harder than ever before. i laughed out loud multiple times, you know your way around the words and editing. bravo!

[@julxaf187]

love to get instantly called out as an octovine enjoyer, even named a character after them lol. love open world and especially meta events, its great to see dozens of players work together :D even tho raids are great too, love when dmg goes brrr

[@ArchieIllian]

I guess i went from The Raider to the Open-World/AP Hunter, used most of the ascended gear i got from fractals to fund my legendary armor sets and just kinda do my little cheklist of things along with Convergences. Then i feel smug in Convergences since 20 of the people in there cant move out of an AOE to save their lives.

[@thebigdork8030]

I love the story of this game and how fun the little bits of Tyria are, even if I have to put a bit more legwork in to ignore some of the less diagetic stuff like murking 50'000 grawl for being mildly inconvenient in an area or because i wanted bones. Also the second best tip for pvp is you don't need to tank all the incoming damage, you just need to follow some lovely meatshield in and then random BSGO!

[@desel8737]

type 10 here: i play 6-10h every day, use blish hud with todolist and many more mods to get my dailies as effective and fast as possible, i love to play the stories, no raids, no pvp, no wvw and after a few months i take a break from gw2 for a few months and repeat..

[@TheOblivionMan]

From personal experience, the best kept secret of PvP is that Random Bullshirt Go! can get you as far as low-to-mid Gold if you have decent game sense and mental. No, for real, a lot of the folks hard-stuck in Silver are there because they call GG and start hard feeding to "get it over with quickly" fourty seconds in to the match, or keep thinking they're Him and can win a 1v4 on mid with a glass cannon build.

[@daydev2599]

Can confirm, I'm generally floating around Gold 1-2. I know generally what all my buttons do, but that's about it.

[@EnsignCris]

As an open world main, you got my number 😩 that inventory was a jumpscare. I don't understand how anyone can have the combined bags view in general, but every streamer I've seen does. How do you sort things if you don't have separated bags/bag types??? How do you ever know where anything is??

[@niklaskniest4968]

I usw combined bags and Just have this one big inventors where max. 20% IS allowed to be filled and Eversthing hast it's own place so it Doest Look messy

[@Hypnotic-tist]

As a wvw commander I can absolutely agree that almost everyone says they can do it better when things don’t go well, it’s painful and anxt ridden, but you are a GOD when it goes well! Lololol 😢

[@deusdeorum85]

About the crazy requirements and just wanting to get carried - I always thought exactly the same about fractal cms. Some players ask for 30k ufe and don't even wanna do level 100. It's ridiculously obvious what's going on with those people.

[@Battle2104]

That's just because most people find 100 CM completly unfun though, it shouldn't be that hard to understand. Sure there might be some people getting "carried", but heck it's still relatively rare to see someone really underperforming in high UFEs groups to the point you call them "being carried".

[@radaidazabache]

Great video Lara, thanks 😊

[@hilanddoug]

LOL!!! I'm not done watching yet but had to pause after the WvW section to comment because I'm laughing so hard, again. I was with a zerg in Alpine Borderlands, Commander is leading our zerg to NW camp to jump an enemy zerg that is in process of capping the camp. We ALL jump and glide from inside NW Tower where we assembled. Just as our entire zerg crosses the glide border we see we are a few seconds too late and the zone changes color as we are all still way too high in the air and too far over the glide border to do anything but fall to our deaths. I think that was the hardest I laughed ever while playing this game and probably 90% of us wrote "LOL" in local or map chat. I have emotes on and could see many of the enemy using the laugh emote. I honestly don't think anyone was upset because it was just so darn funny.

[@bobthet-rex2718]

i just watched this video and laughed my ass off!! When my fiance and i met, i was a pvp hardcore main, and he was doing open world and roleplay only. SKip ahead 6 years, and he has surpassed me in Achi points, ive helped him improve his fighting skills, and ive done the hardcore content for him, while he helps me get through the grind for mastery points. We met in Lions arch when the first roller beetle skin came out, and we are getting married early dec!! Can't deal with how much this game has done for us! excellent video, and certainly accurate!!
