Guild Wars 2

Please remove these from wvw for season 2.

If you can’t manage that, then at least remove them from the achievements list- wvw players will tell you they have no place in wvw and really shouldn’t be there anyway (apart from no life griefers who sit there for hours in 2’s or 3’s waiting for their next victim).

Oh wait, the devs love playing thief in wvw…

The three JPs should be put in a separate instance just like the EB one was

I absolutely do not understand why these are in WvW, they have no place.

agreed, always good to see in chat when garrison wp is being hit. “Can someone help me clear the jp it is being camped?” Ah JQ PVE force, you bring a tear to my eye.

Agreed.
But to be devils advocate – if You take JPs from WvW, players from servers like UW won’t be able to get their kills for daily XD. I think thats the only source of stomps for them.

Is it confirmed? Don’t get me wrong – I believe it to be true myself. That’s the only explanation for thieves unique situation in WvW/PvP, but hey! I like to troll on thief from time to time too, so no bad blood.

Yes remove jp from wvw, no place for this jump nonsens i wvw.

Agreed. How dare people enjoy wvw in different ways than zerglings!

In fact, I propose that anyone who isn’t within 2000 units of a commander tag is automatically booted from the map!

You only need 15 of the 19. The JPs account for the 4 extra. I hate JPs, but they are great substitutes for other achievements.

I have the meta done due to the JPs. Without them I’d still need 100 Yaks, 150 Sentries, and 4 keeps. As much as I hate JPs…. I’d rather do Obs sanctum than kill 225 Yaks or Sentries.

What you complainers don’t realize is that the JP’s have been in the game since Beta…..very early in the game. They belong there. Why? Because the whole design of WvW originally was NOT to have everyone just ball up on a single PIN and zerg things. There’s no requirement of it, nor should there be.

WvW was originally designed as an OPEN WORLD PvP environment for players to partake in, but also separated from PvE to prevent griefing where not wanted (and a solution as to not needing to separate server types too). Jumping Puzzles are a type of open world content, but the ones in WvW are also PvP ones. The loot supports them being WvW pieces by rewarding blueprints and blues/greens/rares (and some special occasions, Exotics).

At a time before siege was tradable, it was soulbound and thus large groups would do the WvW JP’s just to obtain said siege. Now it’s tradable and easily obtained from those who have it but don’t want it. But, free siege and coin is still good for the WvW player on a budget who cannot afford to spend tons of silver each time they lay down siege.

As for the complaints about WvW “achievements”, I find this ironic. Before they changed Yak DE’s, they used to be very rewarding and “WvW players” would just train Yak escorts most the map. So to say you’re above those PvEers who are chasing a few achievements (which WILL DIE DOWN! They’re not infinite and once a bulk have gotten them, the remaining weeks will be free of these hunters) is hypocritical.

Before the seaosn started, I was already feeling defeated just thinking about this. Nearly a week into the season, I’ve met several new friends because of the experience. Players fighting with me, helping me. That said, I wouldn’t recommend asking for help in /m or /t. Perhaps look into joining a secondary guild where other players are after the same achieves. Just about every server I can think of has a dedicated website, and that would be a great place to start.

all WvW puzzles should be on a separate instance indeed, it would help alleviate some of the queue problems, also player kills inside these JP instances should not affect the wvw score at all.

It’s funny to see people in EB ask “Any mesmer in JP”……

Amusingly, when I did them, the obi one had two servers mesmers just porting people with no fighting.

In one of the borderlands I came across an opposing player, /wave they /wave back and we did it together.

Beyond those two situations I basically never see people in the jump puzzles anymore (unlike a year ago)

How does there being a JP puzzle in the BLs impact folks to the point that they keep posting for their removal? Why not focus on something else arbitrary like please remove the skritt or centaurs?

If you do not want to do the JP, then do not do them, it is your choice. I have no interest in SM battles. They are laggy and just a blobfest. I suppose I could post asking for SM’s removal, but instead I just do not go fight there and ignore that achievement.

I like jump puzzles and I am happy they are in the game and in WvW. I am sorry you are a bad jumper.

I have no problems with JPs in WvW, but they have no place on the WvW achievements list. They don’t affect WvW score and they only waste population slots so I don’t see how people should be given WvW achievement rewards for completing them.

It still will be a PvP zone.Nothing will change for it.It wil justl be put in a separate instance.
The only thing that will change is that people in it won’t take useless space in the borderlands.

People who do the JP are not helping the server.They just take the spots of those who would do something useful for the server.
I will repeat again.The JP shouldn’t be removed.It must be put in separate instance.Anet already showed that this is possible with the EB JP.
That way the zone will keep it’s PvP mode but people in it won’t take the spots of those who want to contribute more to the server.

yes pls… as much as i love achievement points for WvW , i hate JP even more…….

Wow, two QQ threads about JPs by the same OP. The tears are glorious…
