Guild Wars 2

So John Corpening is going to be on guild chat today talking about the upcoming WvW changes on the 26th of January. If you are reading the his John please talk even a little about the overhaul or where WvW is going and not just the small changes coming up this Tuesday.

Get the popcorn ready boys.

This is going to be a hype train like no other.

If you’re feeling really good about your Friday, delay watching it till it’s a VoD and turn it into a drinking game. If he apologizes Drink, If they decide to move reset back Drink, If they mention rewards laugh and take 10 shots.

Better go to a market to stock up on supplies than. Its going to be a wild evening.

If they announce a return of the old BLs, big nerf of banners, return of Friday reset and stab change reversal I’ll celebrate so hard my liver will never recover.

Not going to happen, as always they will just tell us what we already know, not even going to waste my time watching.

I hope he brings his tinfoil hat.

Must be a very short chat.

Of course one shot every time they say “soon”

And if they actually tell me how they want to do their so planned big changes I’ll take the entire bottle.

Link to the stream. I was wondering what Guild Chat was, it’s just the name for their Friday stream.

Starts at 1200 PT

Was my first time watching too. The kitten storm of chat was entertaining.

But the Tybalt part was quite entertaining
I want some kind of apple siege.

John Corpening missed his mic drop moment. I was waiting till the end of the WvW segment as he was wrapping up for him to just say “Oh btw, next week, reset moved back to Friday”

It wouldn’t have solved all the WvW issues, but it would have been an easy win, and an awesome bone to toss to the WvW community.

It is scary that he is in charge of WvW since I don’t think he gets it at all.

Thanks for confirming it’s safe to uninstall, John.

Pretty much a non event. Ok Banners and airstrike getting the nerf they deserve, but they really shouldn’t exist in the first place. And not one friggin word about the almighty overhaul…. ded gaem.

Most likely we will see a small open guild event a few days before the final release similar to the one they gave for the new BL maps. They won’t change anything, or even have time to. Even though many won’t like the changes they will advertise it everywhere as if is the best thing since sliced bread. So yea, nothing to see here.

P.S. I would love to be pleasantly surprised but after 3 years of the devs thinking they know what we want, I am not hopeful.

Pretty much my take on it as well…. I tried to “like” the new BL but it such friggin annoying maze within a maze. Whoever thought that the jumping walls combined with the crippling beacons was going to be fun…. I just can’t imagine… There isn’t a single dev working on WvW that has even a remote idea of how it works for those of us who actually spend a significant amount of time playing the game mode, and they really couldn’t care less…
I say thanks but no thanks for the HYPE train, the changes coming on the 25th were literally the LEAST they could do. There is not a single bit of actual coding required for ANY of it. It’s all just variable changes, PPK is already done, let’s see the rally mechanism…. we change the 5 in the code to 1. No rezzing in combat, maybe a line of code but I doubt it. Cata supply costs, again just a single number change, and it’s pretty clear they are desperately trying to appease roamers with that one… everything coming on the 25th has the “OMG what can we do RIGHT NOW with no effort” feel. Makes me think all this “over a year in the making” overhaul is really, “well, we were THINKING about making a change over a year ago, doesn’t that count?” gggrrrrr

lol.

After the HOT release we found out the ex-WvW dev lead havent done kitten since March 2015 for WvW (ironic huh), now we get a new lead that’s clueless.

an easy win is to revert the BL maps to the old ones.

I pasted the wrong post into this thread, oops. Anyways, on topic…
I thought he looked really awkward and annoyed (?) to be talking about WvW. Would’ve loved to hear anything about the overhaul, but oh well, you can’t talk about what doesn’t exist…. yet… right?

I get the feel given the recent list of changes and statements made by ANet is they really are scrambling to make WvW better. My concern is that the damage is done and a lot of players have left for other pastures never to return.

Yeah he was just like “I have no kitten idea what the hell is going on with wvw so I’m just gonna read through this list the ‘team’ gave me”

I feel the opposite Straegen. But i totally agree that the damage is done. I still see no scrambling or sense of urgency. All these announcements about changes were simple, coulda-shoulda-been-done-already minor adjustments. Golden opportunity wasted to address/communicate greater comprehension about what needs to be done and what direction to take.
Its like a patient comes in with MRSA and instead okittennowledging that it exists or talking to the pt about it, they say Hey, we are gonna take out this splinter that WE stuck under your fingernail. Then saying “See, doesn’t that feel better?”

Yep. At first they probably figured the drop in WvW participation was people playing HoT, but that initial “excitement” should be over. The fact that the new BLs are empty and EBG is qued in tiers where there are still players must also be a surprise for them… But I really don’t think Mike O’Brien and the upper management consider WvW to be all that important, so as long as they throw something at it (ie the borderlands) that is enough.

Stayed pretty sober, didn’t ya?

Yeah, it would be such an easy change and wouldn’t really affect anet much. They haven’t been doing any updates on Fridays anyways. Most players prefer a Friday reset, it’s really annoying that anet still hasn’t moved it back to Fridays.

Are you guys really that blind? WvW overhaul is timing right around when CU is being released.

WvW is dead and it ain’t coming back. The devs are just milking what few saps are left trying to get them to buy gold for their craptastic guild hall system.

ANET’s run as a good gaming company is over. The real talent left a long time ago.

As soon as a decent RvR alternative (CU, Crowfall, whatever) comes out, I will stop logging in sporadically as I do now. A-Net has dropped a giant steaming kitten on their own end-game, and it stinks like rotting roadkill kittens. How sad and frustrating…

The interesting thing is that all they care about is money and while WvW is in dying state it still earns money. People buy gems to transfer to other servers and try to have fun there. The more WvW is dead the more people will transfer to top tier servers and the more money Anet will get. Since HoT top tiers on EU constantly change, cause people stop playing WvW and rest who still play jump servers around. Anet probably earns more money from server transfers then from WvW players buying something in Gem Shop.

If reality is as I described then it is not Anet interest to fix WvW while they earn money.

“soon”

Guildchat Video

“We have a lot of things for WvW bla bla bla” (flipping thru pages)

Looks at one page the whole time.

…seems legit to me…

Bring your guildies to BnS and let’s make a server the open world server. Stay tagged or get gkicked

If Anet is really timing the WvW overhaul beta (lol) 2016 release around CU, they are truly dumber than I think they are. You do things to try to keep your customers, not alienate them for an entire year and expect them to come back when there’s an upcoming game that is based around the game mode and RvR concept that Anet clearly dont give a kitten about.

Server performance should be amazing when there is nobody left.
