“WvW updates will not introduce new skills. Will bring passive abilities aimed towards group play eg. Extra supply #foodwars”

:/ Hmmm

That is a shame man:( …. was really hoping of a unique skill per proff.
But atleast we get some;) …..wonder what passive it will be…..mabye increase limit of targets with healing/boons/dps ???

Show me your magic Arenanet.

I believe they are things like being able to carry extra supply.

I assume buffs to actual weapon or utility skills are off the table.

Necro=>no kill=>no badges=>no/weak wvw only skill.

We are further screwed now. Direct damage classes (warriors, thieves, etc) will be able to level up their wvw only skill super fast. While necros will take forever to level them up to a usable level.

We will be so screwed it won’t be funny. Same goes for engineers and rangers. We are all screwed.

LOL you must play it in some other way then me then, im 100% tank and i get lots of badges, about 5x more then on my guardian :P

I agree on that 1. Got 59 badges in 2 hours yesterday.
Playing d/d staff and wells.

I really wanna know when the wvw update is.
And give me something to burn my BoH on.

Guess this is the final nail in the coffin for most hardcore pvpers, More joy for the pve’rs.

Anti stealth skill for some classes, like Ranger get single player see stealthed players for 30sec and Engineer get AOE skill so everyone around him se stealtehd players for 10sec that i would like.

Rangers should then also have a skill that break stealth, they shoot shoot 1 on a stealthed player and everyone see him.

Necro/el can farm 150badges in 2 hours.

I’ll reserve true judgement until I see them but as it stands now the March update and their WvW skills are looking a huge disappointment.

Kinda expected considering the rest of the game.

I’m a Ranger, I get kittentons of badges.

Good, last thing needed is even more power discrepancies between new and old characters.

Yea and Eles should get an ability that removes ranger pets for 30 seconds. Necros could get an ability that locks eles into one element for 30 seconds. Wars should be able to make mesmers not be able to clone and maybe Guardians should get an instant AoE that destroys all engineer equipment in a 1200 radius.

I sincerely hope that they add some cosmetics to people who WvW a lot too.

Titles, armor sets, effects, anything is welcome at this point.

I dont understand why ppls are saying ‘’omg now necros will be owned even more etc’’

it all depends on what for type of zerg and guild you play in. sure some do dps melee warriors with some eles here and there and necros but there are all kind of zergs and guilds you just need to find your place.

I got all classes rangers,warriors,guardians,necros,rangers etc and everyone get as many badges around 150/300 per hour. you just need to wipe enough zergs.

Because all most people can do is complain about class balance issues despite overlooking how good a class can be in another aspect of the game. Such as necros being able to get around supervisor buffs, make boon guardians cower in fear, improve overall group play, etc.

Because support builds get no love. Hopefully, that’s one of the March changes.

Ele’s and all other classes already have that ability. It’s called moving…

I think generally the only thing that makes necro’s screwed in WvW is the players playing them. Even a half decent necro is a priority target because of their impact on a fight. If you feel useless as a necro you are simply playing it wrong.

As for the OP, I think this is fine, as long as there is a nice collection of fun and useful passives that are worth working towards. There is no need to create a vertical progression system, horizontal will work just as well.

The greater concern for me is that whatever they implement is going to be half-bass, unimaginative, and boring that no one will care about it, and be greatly disappointed, after waiting 6 months for it.

I think the big issue is will these abilities change anything wrt to wvw in it’s current state. I don’t foresee people wanting to keep dealing with the current state of wvw just to be able to provide a few extra supply sometime down the road. Get orbs or something back in the game for kitten’s sake. For a business that got everyone to buy in to their dev chats about how serious and committed they were to wvw, I’m pretty disappointed atm.

Fine. Pets are pretty useless anyway.

See stealth may actually save WvWvW.

The way people are talking, it as if they never saw this quote in a thread from two days ago that has already been closed and buried… sheesh.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Qualifying-for-loot/1467117

“Just want to quickly add that officially that is correct, damage simply determines if you qualify, doing more damage DOES NOT give you better loot. The fix we’re implementing should make it much easier for characters who trait/build for support to gain credit for loot drops in particular.” – Colin Johanson

All the ranger spirits will make zergs much more festive…. and their screams will fill the air all the time.

As long as titles and armor skins are also on the list of things we get I’m cool, little passive increases like carrying more supply are a good way to progress with out power creep.

Sorry, for some people a title over their head and new armor looks are last on the list of things to fix in wvw. Personally, those things matter zero to me and just because I think supply perks aren’t going to help draw people to continue playing doesn’t mean I want overpowered skills or anything like that. Culling, bug fixes, wvw mechanics working instead of simply removed (orbs anyone?!), and things that actually improve game play are what I am waiting to hear about. If they just implement titles and armor skins and skills like extra supply and don’t actually address the issues people have been griping about people will be even more disappointed imo.

I think it’ll be cool, but to be honest, I’d continue playing WvW anyway because it is fun. Getting some progression—ANY progression—is better than nothing, though.

Not to be offtopic, but WoW had stealth detection for hunters – it was called hunter’s mark or something. Did that break rogues/deter people from playing rogues? No. Get over yourself. Man, thieves sure are entitled and whiny.

Adding a progression system does not take away people from doing what your asking also.

Culling is a server issue and is being worked on by the tech team

Orbs are an issue with the maps being explotable and they have map designers to work On that (I hope they are working on it at least)

Other bugs are worked on by other teams.

Now I’m with you that the things that effect wvw need to be moved up in priority but we will have to see.

This.

The amount of badges I get on my ele is silly. My necro, when I played it, was second in terms of badges per hour. L2P issue here is all.

Funny. There are more necro players here trash talking me than I ever see inside wvw actually playing.

No joke.

Good. I do not want new skills. I want the passive type buffs that will encourage smaller group play. Increased supply is a good start. Maybe increased damage against siege equipment when only surrounded by a few people. Maybe increased damage using siege equipment when only surrounded by a few people. Things like that
