Guild Wars 2

Since the expansion A LOT of things are very broke and messed up in WvW.
Ask any wvw player and they will tell you.
1) new maps way too big and the paths aren’t as distinctive from 1 place to another
2) +5 for supply either is not available or too far away for guild upgrades.
3) no waypoints on the east and west 2 keeps on the home borderland except for the enemies
4) Guild catapults used to be 25 supply and now they take like 50 supply to build and they aren’t supposed to take that much supply and are the same as a superior catapult incorrectly.
5) some tower walls are bugged like they flicker or can’t be damaged when they say they can .
6) A middle keep on new borderlands has a enemy tengu appear in it causing bugs and false swords
7)Shield generators can be severely misused, in the sense that if u put up 2 of them u can 100% prevent someone from even making a ram
8)auto upgrades sort of ridiculous really, doesn’t give u a reason to protect something or work towards it
9)laser event was cool at 1st , but sort of ridiculous
10) all the automatic siege on keeps is overkill , 5 people can hold off 25 with keep siege that is on the new borderlands
11) barriers are super dumb
12)dragon hunters too overpowered, all classes attacking a boss and the dragon hunter pops all his traps and they do a crap ton of damage and other classes way way weaker.
13) New Maps are so broken it’s depressing many wvw players and making them hate wvw maps and they all stay on EBG since the new maps have hurt our wvw way of life.
14) a tower in ebg has false swords when some ascalon ghosts get in a fight iwht the tower guards
15 ) ANET PLEASE LET US HAVE BACK OUR OLD MAPS& JUST REDECORATE THEM IF YOU WANT ,BUT WHAT YOU DID WITH MAKING NEW MAPS TRULY TRULY HAVE RUINED WVW FOR EVERYONE. LET US VOTE OR SOMETHING GIVE US THE OLD MAPS BACK OR AT THE VERY LEAST MAKE THE MAPS SMALLER AND FIX SOME STUFF I LISTED PLEASE PLEASE I"M BEGGING YOU! Over 100 people I know don’t want to go on the new borderlands and they despise the wvw changes. All the changes we too much at once and hurt many of the wvw intricacies to it.

1) don’t bag out the poor dragonhunters; rangers have powerful traps too, and
2) although related to the release of HoT, the WvW changes are not technically HoT changes. This thread belongs in the WvW section of the forum.

There is a “major overhaul” for WvW coming and they’ve been working on it for over a year so it’s probably gonna be huge. I think we just need to be a bit more patient.

You shouldn’t start with that, it calls into question anything that follows.

Haha, at least you gave me a laugh xD

I think the OP is posting in this section because Dev’s don’t respond to anything in the WvW section. The Day A Dev posts in the WvW section on a worthwhile post is the day I win the lottery.

A few starter ideas towards fixing WvW in it’s current state.

- Remove the desert borderlands and put the Alpine borderlands back in.
- Get Rid of the Automatic upgrades
- Add more rewards to WvW.

Extrapolating my experience, the best way to get a dev response about WvW would be to post in the Engineer subforum, demaning better legendary effects.

Sydney your post is awesome I agree 100%

First of all, the quote did not say it was “coming”, only that they’d been working on it for over a year. What have they been doing for WvW over the last year that we know of? Building new borderlands. Is that work completely finished? Likely not.

There is at this point zero evidence, indication, or reason to believe that the “overhaul” relates to anything other than the borderland change which has already occurred. You’re deluding yourself into another year of waiting around for table scraps.

I agree. Don’t read too much from one comment posted on completely unrealted topic.

The only time a dev posts here is to make some sarcastic comment which makes things 10 times worse, cos they came on to make a sarcastic comment rather than answer the thousands of questions and demands we have.

3) no waypoints on the east and west 2 keeps on the home borderland except for the enemies

You have the WP if you control your keep on the ennemy BL. Then if you focus on your keep with WP and not on your home BL you can have the 3 WP + spawn WP… This give your team a big mobility advantage… Just don’t focus on home BL and go on ennemy BL.

aandiarie.7195:

4) Guild catapults used to be 25 supply and now they take like 50 supply to build and they aren’t supposed to take that much supply and are the same as a superior catapult incorrectly.

I’m fine with roaming group building guild cata. Problem is that the zerg do the same… Then you have something like I see when the zerg build 25+ guild cata to quick open your T3 keep and try to open before the reinforcement can join.
Then it’s finaly a good move to change the guild cata cost. And yest I build a lot of cata in small group… You have to run more… But at least this reduce the ability for zerg to build too much siege.

aandiarie.7195:

8)auto upgrades sort of ridiculous really, doesn’t give u a reason to protect something or work towards it

I hate the auto upgrade. But you have to see your keep with WP as the mobility advantage they give you. Then you have to hold those keep to hold this advantage. And T3 stuff is easier to hold that T0….. Then defending (at least the keep with WP) is usefull.

aandiarie.7195:

9)laser event was cool at 1st , but sort of ridiculous

It was ridiculous since the first time

aandiarie.7195:

10) all the automatic siege on keeps is overkill , 5 people can hold off 25 with keep siege that is on the new borderlands

If you can’t take keep or tower just because they have canon and oil then you have to learn to play…. And if you speak about the defensive turret, then take the shrine before attacking the keep.

I don’t respond to the other stuff because I agree with you.

This. The aforementioned overhaul is exactly what brought us the new BLs. That should actually put fear into you when thinking about what else they have coming soon™.

The new map is fine, it’s the core system that need improvements and that’s what Colin was talking about (he was talking about a WvW overhaul post DBL not DBL).

Most of the TACTIVATOR activations are defensive. Where are they? Behind impossible paywall.

Someone today told me Guild AC costs 15g!

And… no change in this week’s balance patch. ><

When I said the thing about 5 people holding off 25 people, I was talking when I am one of the 5 people in a keep holding off 25 people easily with the automatically there sort of siege on keeps.
