Guild Wars 2

This is not the Looking for… subforum. That’s where this should be!!!

Forum bug? Can’t report threads anymore!!!

Another one crying it can’t PvD command anymore! You and that other one brought a bad reputation to the server that now paired with one of the opposite mentality you get mad.

Park your account and refuse to play like the other one.

TY for all the work Tyler and Team. What I’m reading sounds real good!!!

Bumping for visibility. If the thread gets no responses, I’ll let it go to the Mists graveyard.

Just make sure the guild that claims it does not set it to “Public Use”.

Scamp.5296:

I’m actually sad the new borderlands are going. I know I’m in the minority, but I actually love them, especially with the new changes. Any chance of keeping them around and just adding the old ones back, too?

Should be going on a rotation, they are not disappearing completely. The rotation time frame is yet TBD.

If you’re strictly looking for a PvE guild, transferring is not required. Only if you intend to play WvW.

A non PvP version with more wp’s so they don’t have run to get there, lol.

I’m starting an animal roleplay club in ebg. We all que up and when we get in we transform into animals and roam around the map. We bring dynamic wildlife to the players of wvsw.

Anyone Wanna join?

I’ll extend the inv to the OP, I think he/she needs a new perspective of the world……..vsworldvsworld.

Silenced Assassins used to do this all the time. The Jellyfish transformation was the most hilarious. I miss Spirit and building 10 Superior Golems for him.

Wasn’t sure, could be King of the Hill if you want, lol.

The flag is just a marker for the where the center of the event is. No pick up. Remember there is no capture circle until combat starts.

I’ve seen discussions on this in various topics but not one specifically dedicated to that area now that the Laser Event had been removed. Now with the ABL to be coming in the near future, I’d like to take this time to give the Devs some ideas and feedback on what to do with that specific area of the map when it’s removed to be worked on.

I like many others really don’t want the work they did creating this map go to waste. So please post your ideas of what you would like to see changed in this particular area of the map.

My idea: CTF type Event (Reward: Temporary Uncontestable Waypoint).

1: Absolutely no type of PvE event to replace it.

2: Clean Up: Remove the platform, camps and trees and devoid of any creatures or NPC’s.

3: Landscaping: Adjust the landscape to provide positive combat flow.

4: Event start: Every 2 hours per map (6 hours on the full rotation). Starts with a flag in center with Orange Swords that will turn into a waypoint for the winning server. No on screen notification of the event start. You need to monitor the maps.

5: Duration of Waypoint: Until the next event cycle starts.
Clarification of next event cycle- This means when the event starts on another map. This will allow the Waypoint to only exist for 2 hours.

6: Capture Area: 1200 Radius (can be larger if necessary). Combat must be present
in the Capture Area to bring up the ring and start the timer. Set with a 15 minute event timer to capture. If not captured when timer runs out. Event resets to back of the rotation. Capture Area becomes contested any time an opposing server enemy is in the Capture Area until removed or killed. Set a 10 second timer for the Capture Area (uncontested).

Bonus Reward: Possibly a large addition to the current WvW Reward Track System. Possibly a 25% increase awarded to the line.

Edit: Clarified the Waypoint duration.

I’d like to make a suggestion on this. My only dislike of the Signet is the stationary part. The channeling can remain, we just need to be able to move during it without breaking the channeling. In WvW, I can pop stability to help but that gets stripped right away, you have to stand in all the AoE and hope you don’t die from the condi’s before the channel is complete. 4-1/4 seconds is a long time not being able to move.

Very outdated since the release of HoT.

It is what it is. Just wanted to clear up my end.

I call it the “Disco Effect”. All the Beautiful particle affects going off, lol. Sometimes I just hang back in awe, lol.
But I would say more than 75 in a clash you’re going to experience that. You can almost sense it to in movement when a big group gets near.

There is a Sticky up top for the poll discussion. If you want to make suggestions for a future one, I wouldn’t reference the current one in your title.

Change good?

Mucho!!! TYVM…

I look at it this way. They were supposed to rotate the BL’s after they were updated with the HoT mechanics and other fixes. 6 months have gone by and no rotation and minimal attention was paid to address the issues with the DBL.
All the whining and screaming we’ve done in the last month has finally made the light come on. Things for WvW are now being addressed while actually testing and communicating with us that we begged for.
The ABL will come in when ready and the DBL will return hopefully when we get the kinks worked out of it.
Please be patient, we are moving in the right direction.
I would like to thank Gaile for her involvement in getting the ball rolling, the Dev’s for the work and communications and especially Mo for his attitude change toward WvW and putting his foot down.
Gem purchase inbound!!!

Not sure where we are and going with World linking but here are my top two.

1: We need home world server chat or a home world location.
2: Scoring- PPT value should increase for T3 structures held and defended. Lower the capture value unless the structure is T3 value. Increase the value of PPK on initial kills and set the limit to say 30 minutes before PPK is awarded again since last kill.

Or you can go to EB in WvW and keep the rants and QQ’s on the subject going, lol.

(Them not accommodating you is selfish, but you not accommodating them… no?)

The difference is they DONT NEED accommodation, if they want to duel they can go to any number of places including # guild halls, obsidian sanctum, a non queued borderland, edge of the mists #. A player actually trying to do zerg vs zerg fights and capture player contested objectives in EBG has no choice but to wait in the queue for that specific map

Duelers have a choice to not inconvenience other people, yet they choose the selfish option because no one can stop them

You must think that dueling is something that is planned. Most of my duels start if I 1v1 someone and it’s a good fight I don’t stomp them.
If people like me are such an inconvenience you do have the option to just run me over. I warn you though if you are on the enemy team I will spend the rest of my evening ganking your stragglers and being a general nuisance. Far more damage than me dueling.

At least then you’ll be productive if you kill them, lol.

I’ll throw my PoV about the “Duelers”. If you don’t go through with a full “Death or Stomp” for PPK, you’re wasting precious pixels!!!

Guys, you know they’re being updated for HoT mechanics. The bigger question is “Are they going to stop there?” It was also said “No Shrines”. I’m just curious as to what else they may have in the works for updates to the ABL, lol.

At times I wouldn’t mind it being available in certain areas but I would place this way on the bottom of Anets priority list.

I kind of chuckled at the 3 people too.

World versus World (also known as WvW) is a Player versus Player game mode where players from three different servers, or worlds, battle in the Mists. It features open-world combat on five large maps with up to several hundreds of players per map. In World versus World, players can besiege objectives such as Keeps and Towers with siege weapons, and battle over resources, to win rewards for their world and World Experience for themselves.

I’ll just leave this here if you’re to lazy to Google it!

Puck.9612:

4 different maps really wouldn’t fix anything though. EBG and alpine would still see the most play, leaving EotM and the DBL to be k-trained by the larger server.
And opening up bl’s in instances doesn’t work because people won’t want to invest time and effort defending and upgrading a bl that is going to disappear right after prime time.
But yeah…. we definitely don’t need 4 EBG’s.

The 4 map idea would be a good Beta test. Give enough diversity to different play styles. The biggest drawback is implementation time as they’re going to have to add HoT mechanics to the EotM map. But it would make a good map rotation scenario.

The Ktrain portion may be under control depending on how we go forward with World linking.

Blade Of Gandara.6738:

does anyone know how long this beta is?

As I would understand, until they have sufficient data and feedback to make adjustments, try another way or just can the idea. There was never an official time stamp put on it.

Something I’ve suggested before in regards to “Server”.

To have a “/server” channel in the chat, this would be great for recruitment in WvW, to help people find players from the same server to join guilds etc, and not end up joining a new guild every time a Link is changed. Also good for calling for help in LA, or recruiting in PvE maps etc. It is still fully possible to disable it in chat options as normal.

A WvW home non combat map, similar to HotM map. Example pull out Citadel from Alpine and just make it into a small own stand alone map with all the features and functionality you would expect. Encourage people to use this as your “on call/demand city convenience” and encourage pve players to use it for TP, bank, crafting etc since it doesn’t affect queue’s on the actual WvW maps. This will give people a “home” place, a server specific place to recruit and look for people/guilds. And a place to Idle in WvW even during reset. Also good way for people to organize to run through portals at reset etc.

Cool ideas. Really some of the better ones I have seen so far.

Requested many many times since Megasever.

PVD is only part of the equation. This is a good change because now maybe DR can actually start using their Skill bar. Sorry but you’re going to have to fight for what you want now.
I tried to warn you over a year ago of DR’s issues if you tried to rise in rank. Instead you opted to continue.
Welcome to the fight club!!!

Father

Guess what rising in rank naturally does, allows you to adapt your skills naturally and over time.

Guess what all of a sudden being in a top tier does, Culture shock at seeing the blob mentality which nobody on the lower tiers ever wanted or we would have joined all of the people wanting to live off of the hard work of the already established top tiers and transferred.

We understand this is a Beta, and we are here letting Anet know how we feel about it. We will continue to voice our opinions or else Anet will think that we actually agree and nothing will change.

I’m not going to go in specifics about the direction of my post but I will say one thing about all this.

Most of the players QQ’ing about the world linking were not involved in the past discussions about population imbalance nor the thread about the poll of the Top 5 WvW priority’s. They’re all an after affect.

FogLeg.9354:

Not that I like afkers either but how would you decide who is “just macroing their skills etc just to fool the afk check” and who is in WvW really playing? Even if you simply stand still for 10 minutes, chatting with guildies, you could still observe enemy movements same time.

This can be verified by the new WvW reward track for activity. I doubt they will ever solve the afk issue to everyone’s liking. They have refused to remove the crafting stations from the BL’s after many requests.

RIP your EotM rank!!!

I think they did say the shrines were not going to the ABL. How they’re going to handle the Daily and Bloodlust was never discussed but they were made aware of the possible conflict in advance.

PS: WB Diku!!!

I guess snowballing 4 maps with no resistance is more to your liking? Give it some time for them to find the middle ground. That’s why I don’t WvW on DR anymore, I’m not a WXP kitten, lol.

1: We just had a big update for WvW.
2: Reset and World linking.
3: WvW is in Beta mode.
We’ve waited over 3 years for changes. Give it some friggin time. They have to have time to gather data and make sound changes.

I figured I’d add this to the conversation to help visualize options

That’s what I was trying to get Gaile or a Dev to post…

Gaile Gray.6029:

What? You have purple. That’s all you need!

Ok, I really don’t know if there’s an option to add colors or a plan to do so. But just in case, what would be on the wish list? Keep in mind the tag should be visible on the mini and world/overhead map, so it might be best to suggest bold, non-metallic, non-transparent-ish colors.

How about telling us what is available?

Edit: I mean is the entire color spectrum available or is there limitations?

Hey Loosmaster — I don’t know what would be available, but I’d suggest that ideas might best stay within the normal color ranges, even the standard 9 (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, brown, white).

In truth, I just had my curiosity piqued by the concept and wondered (1) if more colors were truly desired/desirable and (2) what colors you guys had in mind.

That’s why I was asking. Maybe you can get an answer from the Devs if there is a certain color spectrum the game may be limited to in relation to the icons so we don’t offer suggestions needlessly, if you catch my drift.

This helped me in the past. When playing GW2, I have my Firewall and Antivirus software turned Off.

I would strongly advise against that – this means while you are playing, you are completely unprotected from attacks. The pain of getting rid of viruses / trojans is not worth the gain.

Don’t stream porn in the background!!! I’ve done this for 3 years with no problems.

Hule.8794:

Anet recently changed it so you cant ress fully dead while you are in combat. Right now it’s in a good and balanced state except the bugs.
Like if you start reviving and someone gets you in combat you can just continue reviving. That must be a bug because you are in combat and you should not be able to continue.

That’s not a bug. "You cannot revive while in combat. If you start out of combat, then get put in combat, it has no effect.
Edit: Key word being start.

dubstax.9102:

… And people wonder why more people don’t get involved in World vs. World. The dead body jumping, the spawn camping, the spying, the people using other accounts to do nefarious things on their opposing servers, the server stacking…

It’s not just ArenaNet. You, the players have helped to turn this game mode into garbage. At least you can sit back as forum warriors and jump up and down at ArenaNet and give them the blame as you continue to do all of the cheese lame BS that makes new players want to never step foot in this game mode and old players move away from it to do something else or find a new game entirely.

Pat yourself on the back…

+1000 You said a mouthful!!!

I think someone had posted 615k was the record.

Dream In A Dream.7213:

DR is not really a good fit for TW and co. No one is going to stick on their pin, or voltron much. Plus I am sure LUN alone has more numbers than the whole of DR. So I really doubt that. Many ppl on DR are there for smaller scale fights and not for the mapqueue war efforts. So while I think TC and Dr are a nice fit, the alliance thing makes no sense.

DR will handle your PPT side. That’s all they’re good at.

Angel Heart.6739:

Yes and you and how many players are coming back and how long do you intend on playing WvW in GW2?

If you want to use sarcasm learn to use it in the proper way, if you don’t even have a notion on how you use it i wouldn’t try to challenge anyone.

They make a pill for that…

Angel Heart.6739:

you will get it back as a alone standing map with the new mechanics?

Will that offer a lasting solution for WvW?

Why do you think i did all the effort of gathering all of your opinions throughout all the parts of the forum and all the post you posted, to get a positive reaction to my idea of a poll/survey.

As it stands you have condemned all the players in WvW to two years at least of just Alpine borderlands without any possibility of change.

You will hence get less players back than you drive out of the game.

That was also my reason to put up a real poll/ survey to find out where the heart of the WvW community lies and to assure that players would come back to WvW.

Congratulations you won a Pyrrhuss victory in the all of us will loose WvW.

Now you will up with neither of both congratulations are in order.

The Alpines were requested WITHOUT the HoT mechanics. It’s Anets fault for putting them in there. Hence how they fail to listen…
