Guild Wars 2

Wow Really ANET? You still haven’t fixed this?

WvW content and bug fixes seem to be last on the list. Grouping and managing groups in WvW is abysmal. Still only have either a 5 man group or a zerg, no sign of private squad systems yet.

We don’t have the ability to kick, invite or manage groups through the guild UI in WvW. We’re not even asking for new coding here…. just give us the same group options in WvW that they currently have in PvE. Very sad….

Please Devon just throw this into the next update on Tuesday would mean a lot!

Some UI would be nice to handle this. I think a sort of WvW party window would be cool if they didn’t want to have it right by the names as is PvE. In it, parties could also choose to enable LFG and show up for other players in the same WvW map with some kind of description similar to how Guild Wars 1 Party window worked. (Then just auto remove that party from the list if they are 5/5)

Can at least invite/kick with text commands (if you don’t already) but UI of some kind would be much better:

/invite [name] – invite a player to join your party.
/join [name] – request to join a player’s party.
/squadjoin [commander_name] – join a commanders squad.
/leave – leave your current party.
/kick [name] – vote to kick party member (requires two votes).
/squadleave – leave your current squad.

You can kick online party members. Offline party members cannot be kicked. With the large wishlist most people have with WvW, I regard this as a low priority issue. I was plenty pleased to be able to kick people who decided to go pve or go to another bl.

This fix would be excellent as would fixing the context menus… sometimes the context menu works but mostly we only get the Report option.

Yeah I was astounded to see I can’t kick an offline person from the party to invite someone else. It’s like having a car without a brake.

yea its beyond a joke at this point.

things they have worked on instead:

supply trap
stealth trap
siege mastery
terrible wxp titles

good work guys i am proud of you

Kicking? I would be happy if first of all I could always invite people into party through the chat window. Sometimes it works, sometimes I only get the “report” option.

I’d like to say we have basic group commands in WvW… but we don’t even have that. How can this have gone on as long with no UI functionality for groups in WvW.

Just give us the same WORKING options in WvW that we have in ANY PvE zone.

I’m certain this is low priority problem as no one from ANET even replied in this thread. Even their cliche reply like “We are looking into it….” cannot be found.

This is not the only thing need to be done. WHole grouping need to be better. Like groups for more people than 5.
Or commander UI.
But we got copy&pasted masteries each month

Even though this may be “low priority” it should also be in the “easily accomplished” category, as all the mechanics are already there and you can kick anyone while in PVE but not in WvW doesn’t make a ton of sense

It’s also guild commands and other right click functionality. Need to kick someone out of your guild? Gotta leave WvW to do it and then get back in queue…

As primarily a WvW focused player I’m feeling completely alienated ArenaNet. I know that they fixed culling and made some other changes but the lack of BASIC functions is killing me on a daily basis.

Stuff that has been a basic feature in most MMO’s that have come out in the last 6 years or so are missing in GW2. Heck even some of the basic features from GW1 are missing here.

bumping as this needs addressed asap.

This is so bad that my guild we all joke that everytime you don’t leave party when logging it costs ya 25s because its such a pain when someone is offline in a WvW party

I know I posted in the Beta Weekend 1 forums about the UI and lackluster C&S system. So it was more than 11 months ago!!

I would add context menus being fixed as well. These bugs/oversights really have sat too long.

I’m not sure why they work fine in any PvE zone but not in WvW. If it was simply a bug I’m sure it would be fixed by now, perhaps some kind of coding issues with 3 servers/teams in one map? If it’s a technical issue then it should be at the top of the priority list before we get “new content” added.

Fix what we have and use daily before adding more new stuff….

I don’t understand why this hasn’t been fixed yet… It’s the number #1 that angers me the most.

“Reform guys…”

It’s the little things you have to deal with each day that build up and make people snap. Unless there is some kind of technical issue with having players from three different servers on the same map….. I have no possible idea how this has been left like this so long.

If it’s not a bug, then what is it?

The real joke is that it is working in WvW. Somehow.
It is only NOT working if party member is offline or in PvE or in sPvP or on other borderland.

Somewhere Devon mentioned this isn’t part of the scope of his team .. so I doubt a fix will come soon.

There’s lots of of quality of life fixes that could be fixed if there was more, imho, team-to-team communication and synergy in ANET.

And this is where Devon/anet teams and wvw players disagrees. Players want fixes to core stuff like parties. But we got more masteries.
I would not be against masteries, if those core elements would be fixed or updated (comander system). And its not like those bugs are recent. They are in game from beta.

@Slider Zero that /kick is not working. We tried it many times. But it is just not working.

Devon mentioned in another thread I asked him about it and he did say it was more a technical issue but he would look into it and hopefully talk to the tech guys

dunnberry.2964:

Devon can you please answer the question about why we aren’t able to kick people who are offline from a party still please?!? We would love to know this

That is totally out of my area. I realize it occurs in WvW, but it is related to the tech we use for parties, etc. While I’ll look into it, I can’t say as I have any ability to fix it.

The overused “that’s not my job” defense. If something I’m responsible for is broken, and I cant fix it, I call the guy who can…preferably when I hear about it, and not a year later. Now if I cant afford to get it fixed then that’s a different story…

Granted Devon hasn’t been on the job for the full term, but it’s not like he’s working in Korea, he’s right here. Walk over to your boys and girls in the QA department, bring some donuts and coffee, and say “Hey, if you guys get a second can you get the programmers to update the WvW Party UI to match the functionality of the PvE UI?” be sure to leave the donuts when you leave. That way they’ll associate “box of delicious donuts” with “Devon wanted us to do something”.

If I was a WvW dev I’d be flinging donuts and coffee all over that office…say what you will about the health factors, donuts get #$&% done!

Perhaps we can chip in and by the Anet office some donuts if they push the changes to the grouping systems!

WvW is the lowest on the totem pole for bug fixes.

Jamais vu.5284:

WvW is the lowest on the totem pole for bug fixes.

I’m not sure if it’s a bug fix as opposed to some kind of technical issue with having 3 separate player databases on the same map. I know dead players on the enemy realm can invite you to a party…. so perhaps most of the functions are disabled to prevent cross server confusion. I really dunno… I don’t remember any devs or posts from Anet even mentioning no group UI functions in WvW.

What ever the issue is, they need to prioritize the resources and fix it.

Please fix the “remove party member” problem.
Related issue, are the phantom blue dots of offline, off-map players still on your map’s list of players taking up space, possibly affecting the queue?

i remember in BWE1 that people complained they were ending up in different overflows then their party members.

BWE2: fixed.

how hard can fixing wvw pt options be?

Not an issue of difficulty. Its an issue of giving less than .5 fahrenheit of a flaming $%#@. It genuinely doesn’t matter to Arena Net. WvW is their cute little mini-game to give PvE casuals content outside of the norm that requires brain activity.

Nothing the team has done before or since the removal of culling has done anything to improve the mode. Doesn’t really matter though. Player versus Player game design isn’t the development focus, so we should all just start planning for our next prospective game that does focus on it.

In a world of %&#@ MMOs, GW2 is the best…kinda like being the port-o-potty you pick because it smells the least wretched.

PetricaKerempuh.7958:

It already works in ANY PvE zone…. it’s not like they have to make something from scratch. Just make the group options work in WvW.

And page 1 for this, yet again.
We run into this issue every hour in wuv!

When they can’t even fix this after 11 months, what does that say about the future of WvW? :/

Tellerion.8102:

It means we need to complain about this like people complain about progression!

Basic functionality, come on!

GET IT DONE!

Too experiment if they just didn’t read the forums I reported a post of someone who made a simple, straightforward, quality of life improving suggestion like this and that person got infracted, even though there was nothing wrong with the post :P

lol

Tellerion.8102:

To me it says that ArenaNet places WvW on the bottom of the totem pole. They can pump living story content out every 2 weeks and add lots of progression and carrots for the PvE players.

Unless a higher priority and more resources are given to the WvW team, I don’t see much changing. I can understand new content taking time…. but I cannot understand how we don’t have any basic grouping systems working after a year.

Party ui works everywhere . . . but wuv.
Less functionality than everywhere else.

But you can report for anything except what you really want to report “glitching” “hacking”.

I’d just like to see some very basic UI adjustments that would make my life a bit easier and I’m really not asking for much.

A better combat log output, being able to see party members/guildmembers on the minimap, maybe even increase the party size to 8 and the tradepost…

Why can’t I just look stuff up by stats or armor type?

Gully.7358:

They have a working and functional group UI in PvE…. I’m not sure why they haven’t addressed the broken one in WvW for a year. It’s the same UI with the same functions…. very strange to have not addressed it yet.

It’s not like forming a group is important in an MMO….

Bumping this as it’s still relevant. Another patch, no fixes.

Woot Anet you did it, +1 finally ;D

Karn pls search for the original one lol i was dying to see this threae again
