Guild Wars 2

…compared to before the update.

1. Seems chat has calmed down I have absolutely zero blocks. I wish people would learn what Team chat is for though…sigh

2. Request for TS is up but my case with hearing difficulties I never join TS and never get flamed about it. Still don’t join TS and still never get hawked about it. Follow the pin…how hard can it be?

3. I run wither Necro or Thief and testing a Rev and generally have no issues roaming or zerg except Thief sometimes gets kicked from zerg more often now than before. Generally, I don’t zerg much with Thief but when I do it’s P/P and Staff. Staff to stomp a few then back out and P/P to pick off the injured or down. Other than that I know I don’t bring much to a zerg with it so kind of expected.

4. Thought PiPs would be slow to get for a week for loyalty but nah…it’s fine. Just gotta know how to get them. Easy 7 each tic on outnumbered off time and easy 5’s if you can get a good zerg going other times. 100 a week…not difficult.

5. Rewards? Eh…not there for them and realize why ANET has set the goal high after the easy asc gear debacle a couple of PvP seasons ago. Now people saw easy in the past and want easy now. Those who want it will stay and get better or leave. The drops are good to fund my ever ongoing battle to tweak gear or make some gold.

6. I love the constant back and forth caps. I have seen SMC flip more times in a few hours than I have before.

7. Queues are high around daily reset time (PvE) and I have found flipping in other maps to be much better, challenging and more fun than before.

8. Mind you I am only 244 rank and been plugging away for 5 months or so and enjoying WvW even more. I can’t however just WvW. I still do some PvE stuffs. I think the true PvE’rs who have come to WvW for the most part are learning that the PvE build and gear they have just isn’t going to work are fixing themselves.

9. These are just my opinions and nothing more. Others will see this differently and others will agree. Overall I think it was one of the better thought out processes coming out.

Well I like your attitude keep at it.

Learning whats its for after this patch is pretty pointless. I’ve seen people cry about how garri is under attack, they need help. Well just tell the enemy to wait for an hour while I clear this 50+ man queue, np.

Yeah I never thought of it that way. Team chat becomes uses when everything is queued up.

There is much learning that needs to be done.

The other thing I see constantly is players attacking camp supervisors with RI. Since white swords pop up 30 seconds after the camp is attacked seeing a camp with RI and white swords screams “new player here.”

While callouts are nice to see, those callouts to queued maps in team chat are wasted. I see more callouts that link the POI instead of the WvW abbreviations for each place. I used to roam on DBL but I’ve forgotten what all the camp/tower names are but if you just say NEC I know exactly where that is and how to get there.

Another thing I’ve noticed is players in team chat asking if their map is queued. This would be a nice QoL for Anet to show queues on every map, even the one you are on.

I also see more players standing around spawn.

While it’s nice to see a tag on every map it’s rare to have more than 2 tags per map. One of the opponents this week is a famous blob server. I never see them in groups of less than 50. It would also be nice to actually have commanders in Teamspeak. It’s gotten to the point that I might start using team chat just to ask if there’s a commander is using Teamspeak.

@Swamurabi

Lol. Yes I see the same. There is some learning but we have all been there. Sometimes people just jump in while people like myself I try to find the answers before looking stupid.
