Guild Wars 2

1. Any chance we can ever get wxp rewards to become account bound rather then character bound? It punishes those of us who run alts….

2. When wxp came out they said there would be the possibility to get wxp boosters (ala karma/crafting boosters etc.); any idea as to when?

3. Can we get the ability to limit who sees commander tags? Sometimes for various reasons people only wish to run as a guild for example.

4. Ever any chance of rewards for winning servers?

5. Can we remove eb jp completely from eb so it is not necessary to que to ebg 1st?

6. Can you increase the radius of supply info check the commanders have?

7. Any plans on addressing various line of sight issues some skills have?

8. Can we PLEASE have the ability for Ranger pets to oh idk fly (if birds for example) from up top to the bottom of a structure in defense and vice versa. 40-60% of our dps wasted…..

9. Those of us who are team players who nonstop escort and upgrade need some love; any actual plans how besides promises?

10. Can we get it so that upgraded camps that have escorted guards; you must kill the guards 1st?

11. Supply camps. I can solo them most of the time within 45 seconds and cap. Don’t ya think that is a bit op? Ok go ahead and fully upgrade it and now it will take me 2-3 minutes max with 1 more ranger.

12. So when are we going to be getting all of these increased ecto’s in wvw that was promised?

I have 3 lvl 80’s and my only real interest is WvW. I joined a server where wvw was the focus. Took a break from the game, came back and I was stranded on a mediocre server. Why would I call it that? 2 of the better Commanders claim that winning is not even their goal. The chance to win is lost when the best players don’t even want to win. This effects the game overall when there is apathy like that. I want to belong to a server with more players who care about winning but there is no honor in jumping to any team with winners . It would be good to see the tag system extended somehow.

Some points I have:

1. How to we give lower servers a reason win?
2. Server population balance.
3. Sargent tags? Too many players lost when CMDR is gone.
4. Better large group organization interface.

I have some off the wall ideas that interest me.

What if the lower servers that seem to have less purpose could form a temporary alliance that would allow them to combine with another server in order to make it full sized? It would only last one week and it would raise their servers ranking in some way.

Next. Have something(s) hidden in the WvW world. When found it would be valuable or a buff or increase + points for realm. There would be a danger in looking for them though.

Next. A large npc (or stealthed) that would not be possible to kill or it would take something over-the-top to kill it. It would just roam and kill. It could be good for laughs, make the landscape more dangerous and give the world some interest to it.

Anyway, I am leaving GW2 because I find myself stuck on a server with people that don’t care about winning so what’s the reason to even play?

Good luck with improvements.

Hi , Can you tell me why the Master Armor merchant in WvW is BOA and Not Account Bound ? I use my Ele to buy some medium armor for my engineer . and now i am stuck with 3 pieces of armor that can’t be use. please give me a solution on this. i seriously don’t understand the BOA thing. Why can’t i use 1 character to buy armor from WvW for my other character. i mean its still me that is playing !!
I’m sorry if this is not the place for this problem. but i need a solution because it don’t make any sense to have this BOA merchant in WvW. Thanks

The currently the game can’t andle fight over 50vs50 the lag became a big problem and nothing works, is Anet working on something to promote spliting group more so that we don’t have lag, and if the enemy blobs up, your server that split should have the advantage even if you lose the fight aganist the blobs, it can cap other stuff, with promoting small group and more skill based instead of just bringing more people than the enemy.

Will we ever get to see enemy character names(account names *gasp) or even get kill mails?
You managed to make what should be the most intense PvP experience about as exciting as sitting in a bus driving back and forth between stations.

Giving the faceless enemy at least a semblance of character would help somewhat I think.

Can you give us some kind of preview on the upcoming changes to the Commander Icon?

why should I play WvW when my server keeps getting tossed into matches where it is completely outclassed?

Will rampager gear be added to the wvw armors?

Hey Hugh great to see the wuvwu team live streaming.

In terms of basics. New players see the zerg all the time its really off putting. What can a lonely be player get to do in wvw if they don’t have a big old team to run with.

What is the point? I’m new to wvw and dont know where to go. What wvw map should I go to?

Do all these forts give the same points?

What other stuff do I get from wvw… We’ve all seen the karma train video

What’s the blue icon on the map?

Should I follow the zerg? I find it kind of off putting what else can I do with my friend?

So I gave this siege blueprint… Why is the arrow cart doing nothing to this wall? How do I use siege?

What’s the deal with upgrades?
What the heck are traps?

How do the swords work what do they mean?

OK I am finished trying to cover new player questions I’ve been asked while commanding…

Now Hugh what’s the craziest idea you’ve ever had or heard for wvw ?

I’ve heard rumors of a new commander UI. Can you provide any elaboration on this and whether it’s already being worked on or not?

Also, are there any changes to traps in the near future? I made some suggestions recently but it seems like traps are already a forgotten mechanic.

In the stream you stated that you should be able to see enemy trebs on the map can you confirm that this is working last time I checked this was not the case.

He said a few things that weren’t completely true. He’s getting the things that are important for WvW beginners right, so it’s fine.

Edit: I take it back. So many mistakes. sigh

Any recap of what was said? Official/nonofficial idc.

It was just a beginners guide to WvW. Nothing about upcoming changes or advanced tactics.

Sigh I sooooo had my hopes up for this and needless to say I was let down. Nothing but a semi how to nubs guide of wvw.

Few things I noticed:
1. Gotta love the troll who was dancing in ebg keep in front of him:)

2. You CAN’T see enemy placement of trebs by pressing “m”; only friendly trebs. He had that wrong.

3. You DON’T need to be in a guild to get the wvw buffs they have placed on an objective they own; everyone on the server in range will get those. Once again he got that wrong.

did you read the first post? It clearly says that this is a beginners guide. Cut the melodramatic nonsense, the negativity train really is annoying.

Oh so rather then having yet another dev waste our time w/ a live stream (with errors in it might I add) and yet another sticky; they couldn’t just have new people goto the sticky already here https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/The-Basics-of-WvW-guide-and-more/first#post994854 that explains virtually everything he did in much more detail? Sorry if some of us were HOPING he’d oh idk actually anwer some questions that can’t be found in 10 seconds already posted here a thousand times on the forums. news flash….there is a search feature here on the forums people.

Teach us how to put crossed swords on towers/keeps by only attacking tower guards :P

What is being done to fix skill lag coming from servers in WvW? Plenty of new mmo’s coming out this year, and this alone has stopped me from logging into gw2. If any info on what is being done to help this situation would help out the community greatly. And please not the generic arena net answer “We are working on it, you should see the fix in the future.”

I got a couple of questions for youa….. how is one meant to play in WvW when there is such horrendous skill lagging whenever there is any kind of sizeable engagement going on or are battles meant to be 1v1v1 or 5v5v5 max!!

How does one combat flying, speedhacking, teleporting and outright cheating that has become rife in WvW.. and please don’t say its not happening cos its getting worse every week imo.

How is one supposed to play in WvW when your own Borderlands is outnumbered ? Outnumbered in your own Borderlands, really? GW2 WvW is starting to feel like real time game play. If you are not online then you are SOL. This is supposed to be a fun game, it is turning into a major chore. I do enough chores in real life.

Can a user be allowed temporary access to another server for one log in? I see that guesting allow for regular world access does it also allow for WvW access?

This is a problem for many – even with items outside of WvW – many of us didn’t KNOW that our items, when bought, would be character bound instead of account bound.

It’s like our characters don’t exist to one another; that should NOT be so.

I’d like to know how 3 or 4 Borlis Pass players from the Guild Slay got inside Storm Bluff Citadel. They were in the crafting area.

When will we get new maps?
When will commanders be fixed (ui/tags/squads)?
Will an option for commander tags only visible to guildmates become available?
When will the sentry circle by se camp be fixed?
When will claiming after taking camps/towers/keeps be fixed? (It doesn’t work half the time.)
When will guilds be a part of GUILD wars? How about guards get the [TAGS]? How about incentives to fight in (defend) something your guild owns?
We have 20x the players, when will wvw get even half the attention of spvp?
When will you devs do something to stop the mass exodus from wvw that is happening?
When will you start listening to your customers?

I have a question about Monthly Achievements. Shouldn’t the “Monthly WvW Player Kills” be on the monthly PvP achievement instead of the standard monthly achievement? Not a big deal but it makes no sense.

I don’t know if it is because the Anvil Rock server (my sever) is just very bad or what, but why is it that we are always matched up with try hard players, and like probably the best WvW servers you can manage to find. Is there some point system on how badly we can get screwed or something and why we are never on the green bottom left borderland. I’ve been waiting for months to get to be green bottom left and it seems Arenanet or something is trying to screw everyone on Anvil Rock. Please someone tell me why Anvil Rock is always the same two borderlands and if its because we suck or something, because it seems we can only keep control of camps only.
