Guild Wars 2

Ok i know i know , its just an event for 1 week but still, are you guy out of your mind at the office? Last thing wvw needs is a golem only event!

from patch note:

Hop into World vs. World between July 17 and July 24 to experience our newest special event, Golem Rush, where siege golems are better, faster, and stronger!
All siege golems in WvW no longer require supply to construct.
All siege golems in WvW will deal 100% additional damage to other golems and players.
All siege golems in WvW will move at 100% additional movement speed.

Guess ill play with something else during this “event”. I do think Anet does read our complaints here about golems being OP / PvE in wvw and just do the opposite of what we think, just to kitten us off?

Right? Who cares if they are OP or not, I just don’t see the fun of 5 days of massive golem battles, maybe an hour or so, that might be fun, but also pretty expensive. Glicko is sort of pointless these days so whatever. Maybe I’ll farm for poutry meat and lemongrass during those days

As opposed to one more week of everyone doing the exact same thing theyv done for months?

I for one am looking forward to something DIFFERENT.

It’ll be different. It might even be fun for a few minutes.

I can predict that a few people will jump into golems, locate some GvGs and attempt to wipe them out.

As I stated in my own thread, that week will be TOTALLY kittened, and it will be gloriously fun!

I cant wait to make a mess of ALL the things!

Wheres the harm in a little golem craziness for the week?!

PS: They have to do it for a straight week, from reset to reset. A single day would wreck up WvW way worse than a week.

Isn’t this the buy2win event? Servers with massive gold and can buy golems win?

I mean 1 week of this is still better than that 4 weeks of No-white swords or the BlobFTW month long event where the largest server rolled everyone else

We should all just boycott the week.
Seriously, do it.

You might want to reword this a bit m8 :P

If ppt important to you then you got a point but if not then i do not see the problem. I am getting the feeling players are out of touch with there own wvw mates. What is ppt important when things are broken or has it always been important but we do not like to talk about it?

what in my OP tells you i care about PPT? IF i did i would not be on gunnars hold but on sfr/fsp. Omegas were already overpowered yet they got masteries ok. But making them even more powerful even though is just a week is out of touch, for me, perhaps not for you.

@Vavume, why that, are you getting naughty thoughts? ;p

I am looking forward to the break up, wvw been slightly borning due to doing the same thing. golem running around will be fun, I just wish I had points in golem now, lol.

Perhaps there was a glut of golems on the market and not moving — this is incentive to purge a few

As if WvW players needed even more excuses to skip a week of play.

Aside from the novelty of seeing a couple golem armies going at it, this isn’t going to be fun for more than a few minutes. You’ll pirate ship each other for bit, there’ll be a portal into melee range and you’ll spin-to-win for a few seconds, and that’ll be about it.

I would much rather have a week of no arrow carts, ballistas, and golems.

Try balancing the tiers and fixing the matchmaking. these ideas are not what WvW needs. Fixes are what WvW needs. A better idea would be… https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/My-recomendation-on-WvW-server-revamp

Obvious golem/gold/badge sink event.

But really, out of touch really does go with it. This is quite the opposite of what should be done.

And remember, wvw isn’t meant to be balanced, so it’s apparently okay to go willy nilly.

:/

Let me ask this, what is wrong with this event? Personal opinion aside on what you may feel is wrong in wvw or not, this seems like it just a fun time, that no one is forcing on anyone to do. The game needs shake up now and then from routine and such.

I disagree.

You are effectively “forced” into this event if you want to play wvw. It’s unlikely you can avoid golems doing 100% extra damage to your character and of course, those structures and locations you’d like to defend.

true, but as I learn in the game, death really is not a set back, and as such, you can respawn and do it again, or be raised. I wont let a golem stop me from haveing fun, and who knows, it i am the one to kill a player, that bring a smile to my face. I am one of the more poorer players of wvw, but I still looking forward to it, even if it means i might die a couple more times. when i am done with the fun, i am free to leave wvw when ever i want, so it feels like I am not forced, lol.

You’ll just have to respect the fact that a lot of people are dedicated to their cause and take wvw really seriously. This really impacts their cause. To add onto, it, given their general neglect of this game mode, this really comes across as a slap in the face.

And I don’t consider “don’t play wvw” to be a viable solution, because that’s what a lot of people are electing to do.

If they introduced an instant kill button in which you press 1 to kill everyone on the map, then I think people would have a right to complain even if death is cheap. Then again, this isn’t that far removed, if not that extreme.

I would have settled for say, 25% less supply, and more subtle buffs.

And FYI I’ve had no trouble adapting to the excessive damage quickness meta.

This isn’t a shake up any more than taking the NBA and replacing the ball with a balloon and their Nike’s with stiletto heels is a “shake up”. It turns the game mode into a complete joke where defending anything is virtually impossible without a zerg in the lord room at all times.

A week of nothing but Tier 1 Lord Room fights? RIP skill activation ;_;7

A fun shake up was when any kills would give 1 point. They could also do something like a week of perma super speed on NPCs.

This just instead makes the week of the 17th a vacation week for anyone who even remotely takes the game mode seriously.

I thought this was a joke at first. But its not April. Atleast i can make some profit off all my unused badges finally.

I’ll bet the skill-less germans would love this. They use sieges like there is no tomorow. :P

Could melt them with an organized condi focused force i think.

I would think SFR would actually be throwing confetti. Last time we faced them, they used no fewer than 250 golems in a week. Omegas mostly, too.

We apologise, but our main golems guys were off that week, usually it’s over 1000…

+1

:)

It looks like it will be a lot of fun, and I’m looking forward to it.

That being said, this week will drastically reduce the amount of golem blueprints in circulation in Tyria. Most of them probably come from EotM karma trains, and while this supply will stay identical, the demand will rise like crazy (it has already begun). So maybe that’s Anet’s way to nerf golems: make them increase in price.

Well, all siege will become more expensive.

So we have one of our FSP also say that Anet is out of touch with the players, whilst the other has only made 4 posts.

So is the WvW dev talking to you ArchonWing to get more information on this event?
Did you or zhonnika suggest such an event?
If no, then why on earth did the WvW dev think this was a good idea?!

The FSP program is supposed to keep the devs in touch with each part of the community, so if the WvW FSP is saying they arent WTF is going on?!

Then there your goal, get a lord room to tier 3 during the week, lol. Also hat skill activation?

I look forward to fighting golems. since they can’t be healed, well make them a fun target to attack over and over again, hehe.

Its like in sPvP if they added free heroes to help each side. People take the competition seriously, this cheapens the experience and only adds to the impression that anet don’t take the mode seriously.

They should make it so that they can’t waypoint, be portalled or stealthed at least. That’s make the week more interesting.

I have never seen a dev so out of touch with their PvP community.
This is not a hyperbole – atleast other games with devs like this crashed WAY before the 3 year mark and thus couldn’t accumulate the sheer volume of disappointments as ANet, or they actually managed to set their house in order.

Are there still Arenadrones left that have hopes in the sPvP/WvW side of the game three years in?
Even the new WvW map will not salvage this stretched out slow-mo catastrophe. For every good decision WvW gameplay-wise, there’ll probably some PvE/EotM tumor right next to it. But worse than the actual map design is that I clairvoyantly know that nothing will change even after it’s released. ANet won’t suddenly start giving a kitten about their WvW community, and they wont change anything about their M.O.
A new map is an utterly calculated marketing move. Atleast one new battleground per expansion is MMO standard fare, otherwise game reviewers would nag and moan. So you have to check that box, too.
But we shouldn’t pretend it has anything to do with suddenly listening to our begs for an actual core WvW map for three years.

I’m speaking for myself on the matter as my own personal opinion as a user. As there are people that may disagree with this assessment, I’m not passing it off as truth so please don’t quote me on such.

And no, I didn’t suggest anything like this, nor do I recall any sentiment that would be accepting of this, in fact there’s a thread disapproving of golems that’s quite new, nobody has talked to me on this, and judging by the response here, I don’t think my thoughts are too unreasonable that there is some form of disconnect.

In the end, it’s not really about a for or against situation, but “where” these ideas are coming from and “why” this is happening when there are many other perceived issues of importance? If these things aren’t mutually exclusive to deal with, then there wouldn’t be a problem, of course. I think I tried to express it over there in the very first forum specialist thread we had a few weeks: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/Seeking-WvW-Forum-Specialists/5123785 and yes I actually did just link said conversation over.

Nah, its more like this:

Announcer: Todays NHL finals that decide who take gold and who take silver has been changed to be played by… elephants!

Players: … what? This is a joke right?

Announcer: Hahaha yes it is!

Players: Oh haha.

Announcer: It still count though, so whoevers elephants win will get the gold medal.

Players: …

Announcer: Also you have to buy your own elephants.

Players: …

Announcer: Glhf!
