Guild Wars 2

Only a WvW player knows the correct falling damage heights.

Only a WvW player would spend 10’s of silver on upgrades that have nothing to do with their own equipment.

Only a WvW player would see “Portals up in JP” and drop everything they were doing.

Only a WvW player kills things in PvE and wonders why the loot doesn’t appear at his feet.

Only a WvW player is currently staring at the clock and sighing at how slowly it’s moving.

I think my map completion, on my level 80 guardian, is around 30%. lol

Only a WvW player would see “Portals up in JP” and drop everything they were doing.

On the contrary the WvW player would say “screw that I need to finish capturing this camp!!”

Or “Yeah, yeah I’m coming! I just gotta finish capping this keep then, that tower then…wait how long are you going to be up there?”

Only a WvW player will type in chat:

“wwwwwwwwwwaaawwasssssssdwwws123123123124124124124”
“ kitten :x”

Only a WvW player goes to bed, closes his eyes, and sees a sea of red triangles above enemy corpses.

You have never visited the lower tiers?

Only a WvW player will spend hours escorting a dolyak, or running supply, because the team needs it.

It’s like you read my diary

Only a WvW player would go into PvP with a build that’s not necessarily good at killing people, and still be happy with it.

Only a WvW player got all of his exotics with karma points.

Only a WvW player looked at Legendaries and the new armor type and said, “Welp, I’m never getting any of those.”

Only a WvW player has to say “the new armor type” because he can’t remember what they’re called because he never sees anything higher than Exotic, and those were from the karma vendor.

Only a WvW player has exotic accessories that all came from a badge vendor.

Only a WvW player hopes the devs read this thread because it highlights some fundamental weaknesses in the WvW experience.

Only a WvW player sees the market as “sell only” because he never has any money to buy anything from it.

Slamz that isn’t true! I make a wopping gold a day doing nothing but wvw! ;0

I was once told by a PvE player that “PvP/WvW players are generally disrespectful, don’t play well with others, and are hostile with no sense of community.” Only a WvW player knows that there is no stronger community than WvW where you play alongside the same people day after day, that there are no kinder people than the ones that will come across an entire map just to respond to one person’s shout-out, and that we don’t just have to work with 5 people at a time for 30 minutes at a time – but dozens if not hundreds throughout the day.

Only a WvW player knows why not killing the lowbie mining for his dailies is both an act of mercy and a show of power.

Only a WvW player thinks that jump puzzles are only for gathering siege just before reset, and the achievement points they got the first time they finished them were “some kinda weird bug or something…”

“Only a WvW player would mail some of their loot bags after a big fight to the groups support guardian”

I hate to say it, but I’m pretty sure even WvW players don’t do that. :/
No offense to any of you who do.

Only a WvW player would understand ‘invisi rendering thief’ or ‘portal bombing mesmer’.

^I pay the guy buying the siege, does that count as running support? And I used to run support build when EG heal was bugged. 7k Aoe heal with just EG, and another 4k in regen and water field dets, all on a 20sec CD….

Only a WvWer will truly know how this feels…

Manoa.5897:

In gw2 wvw’s case it would be
- kitten culling
- Stupid thiefs
- Oeh a lootbag, some rez pls

There’s very few of us out there like that, lol. We should make a club.

Only a WvW player knows what its like to have no money due to overpriced repairs and objective upgrades, and the fact theres no reward for excorting dolyaks and spending 5 times the rewards on a trebuchet or golem just to try and take a tower/keep.
Only a WvW player can never get there monthly due to having to do fractals.
Only a WvW player sticks to the same boring character because Commander Icon and Siege are souldbound…
Only a WvW player gets sick of the same boring copy-and-pasted maps for 5 months, because Anet refuse to improve anything than PvE or Dungeons
Only a WvW player gets a suprised and happy when a Rare drops because they drop like anything anywhere else…
Only a WvW player has badge of honnor gear because PvE’ers will have their 1-2 gold gear instead.

Only a wvw player will say, “wtf, cannons before walls, what were you thinking!”
Only a wvw players will say, “upgrade the supply not the dolyak guards!”
Only a wvw player will moan on the forums openly about 2v1 in a 3 way fight.
Only a wvw player will craft an alt to 80 because it is the “only way” otherwise he’s wasting a queue spot in wvw bringing an arrow.
Only a wvw player will level a mesmer alt through capping quaggans by pearls in his/her “off-hours.”
Only a wvw player will follow an enemy zerg on his p/d thief just to file troop movement reports all night to the commander.
Only a wvw player will feel 10 hours a day play time is realistic and sustainable along with work/school and sleep.
Only a wvw players will see someone link an ascended item in LA /map chat and think to themselves, "Arenanet said, “Someday!”"
Only a wvw player will argue that ptv gear has merit for some builds.
Only a wvw player will argue the definition of a “zerg.”

Only a WvW player will get inspired by another servers team that roflstomped you weeks ago, and plan their revenge.

Only a WvW player will laugh their head off when they get said revenge.

Only a WvW (necromancer) player will understand what it is to play an under powered overpowered class, all rolled into one!

Only a wvw player will have to figure out just how to get their loot.

Only a WvW player would think hiding in a zerg and spamming 1 was PvP.

Henrik.7560:

Only a WvW player can never get there monthly due to having to do fractals.

Actually, it’s something to do while stitting in the queue…..

Khundun.7602:

Only a WvW player knows that “get Frogs” means go capture the Hylek point by QL.
(Frogs up! Dredge up! Go flip Ogres! Get Quaggs!)

Actually, a few weeks ago, “get Frogs” meant “Attack Arborstone” and for the past two weeks it meant “Attack Vizunah Square”. Try “Hylek Up”.

However only a WvW player knows that “dredge up” does not mean either of these:
1. to bring to notice, esp with considerable effort and from an obscure, remote, or unlikely source ~ to dredge up the past
2. (Engineering / Civil Engineering) to raise with or as if with a dredge ~ they dredged up the corpse from the lake

Only a WvW Player is happy when they make a profit on killing other players (make more gold then you spend on siege).

Only a WvW player would think the the term “nightcap” didn’t involve going to bed.

only a wvw player knows what gw2 is all about…

only a wvw player uses golems to fight on open field then when it dies biulds another one and walks it back to the battlefield

Only a WvW player need marry NPC-repair for free service.

That you win some, and you lose some, but still continue to fight.

Only a WvW player knows that a defeat, is a learning opportunity to get it right the next time.

Only a wvw sees lots of downed players, but doesn’t raise them up.

Only a WvW player could log the same map for 1000s of hours and find that returning to PvE feels more like a poorly drawn tutorial that is obliterated in a heartbeat.

Only A WvW player would think to sacrifice time in order for all of those PvErs to enjoy their bonuses.

Only a WvW players can experience a much broader range of emotion and freedom in GW2.

Only a WvW player ends up being divorced, bald, and overweight for their dedication to the server.

Only a WvW player thinks about his next pay check so can get gems for gold and buy new TH exotic gear, and more siege equipment.

Only a WvW player is on the WvW forums while at work posting, “please post the score so i can see!”.

Only a WvW player presses M in LA and can’t understand why it’s not the BL map.
Only a WvW player knows why people spam random numbers in /team

Only WvW player know true fun from jumping puzzle as source of daily badges

19% of map, and 16% was one week ago. 40% is a PvE player

Only a WvW player will understand this expression:
wwwwsssssssssssssddddddddddddddddddd 11111111222223333444444
kitten

Only a WvW player think this is the funniest tread on the forum

This is a brilliant thread although somewhat depressing in just how true much of it is and how ANet have focused on all other areas of the game to date and left WvW until late February without any love whatsoever.

Only a WvW player would login to the forum just to bump this thread in hopes ANet reads it all.

Only a WvW support player knows that farming badges is running the jumping puzzle.

Only a WvW player knows to follow the Commander, even if he is running back and forth… (Those that did WvW in Black Gate Borderlands last night with Gismor know what I mean. xD)

Only a WvW player will sacrifice skillpoints to build superior siege.

Only a WvW player will spend hours escorting a dolyak, or running supply, because the team needs it.
