Guild Wars 2

Always out-manned due to transfers make WvW players do pve. And pve is ugh.
Breakout events.
No more orb fun. No consumables, No siege in puzzles fun.
RTL nerf forces us to use PVT gear to roam.
White swords change makes breakouts and out-manned 100x worse.

If you pay to transfer to the full queue maps you will probably enjoy the game. The culling will probably be horrendous, though. There’s a small portion of players that like roaming with 5-10 guildies and picking off unorganized, talentless players in the mid-tiers. That is the only real enjoyment you can get now. Oh, and PVE. That’s all anyone is doing every time we are in the wrong tier, which is every other week.

This is all that needed to be changed: Wall jumping, orb hacking, culling.
We don’t get what we want. We get a bunch of stuff we don’t want that clearly makes it worse, yet more competitive for t1 and t2. Awesome. No. Not at all.

What desperately needs to be changed is allowing more players from the other teams to out-number a team’s home borderlands. If my team has a queue, and the other team has 60 players in just one side of the map, while my team clearly only has 30 players maximum on the entire map, what the hell is up with the queues? Maybe it’s just the non-team players on my server that are wandering around aimlessly, or maybe Maguuma is too full of trolls to care about WvW anymore. We do not belong in T3 and cannot do anything in it. If you like large scale pvp (as in sPVP is boring as hell), then you won’t get it here.

This angry post will probably be deleted despite being completely accurate, and agreed with by the masses. So make sure to save it, and laminate it on a t-shirt that you wear to the next GW2 convention.

It’s just the fact that there is 7 T2 or better servers at the moment.
Hopefully one implodes so that it balances t3 out a bit more.
A DB v Mag v YB would be very fun imo.

… Fun?

Aha.

I do not agree with your assessment.

Orbs were a bad mechanic, broken consumables should be removed, siege in puzzles was boring. If you want to fight do it with you own hand. Fights are a bit more exciting in the puzzle as campers have to risk themselves to kill me.

Which is a non-issue, unless you are so bad you can’t compensate for a small nerf to a class that is still OP.

Orbs did indeed add an interesting element, at the same time the bonuses they gave were terrible and just unbalanced the match further.

As for cinsumbles, they were extremely OP, get over it.

Not really, the system is hopelessly flawed and that all it really amounts to is who has best the coverage, but then that should of been obivous from the start, three faction design suffers from the same issues as two faction when it comes to population balance, just to a slightly lesser degree. And yes then there is the culling…

These people are known as ‘bads’, good players look for other good players to play against.

orbs were bad for the game as they were
consumables were bad for the game
siege is already provided in puzzles
random complaint about class balance is random
paying to transfer to full queue maps means you dont get to play, not that youll enjoy it

as a part of the masses … i must say i dont really agree with your post

Cant help but facepalm everytime someone cries about RTL -_-

WvW is a lot better then it used to be.

Orbs meant that when one team rolled over everyone and picked up the orbs, they were over-powered. Giving the people who are in the lead a massive advantage makes the other teams not want to play, which makes things worse.

The culling is significantly less since launch, and they’re getting better and better at removing it completely, give them time.

With the whole white swords issue, you can use it to your advantage. All this means is that stray Necro minions, Ele Elementals etc. won’t randomly hit a centaur or skale and trigger crossed swords, which would then alert the enemy server to your zerg’s location. It makes setting up and then attacking more strategic, which is awesome.

Consumables destroyed WvW. Why should you have an advantage because you ran around in PvE against people who only WvW? No matter how you look at them, they aren’t fair and shouldn’t be used at all, no matter what they are!

Siege ruined the jumping puzzles. One team would just camp with siege and they were practically untouchable. Is it fun to do a puzzle and get owned by siege, when you just want to get to the end? No. No it’s not.

To be fair though, I was a fan of how Ride The Lightning worked before, but oh well. Can’t have everything eh?

I honestly feel that WvW has taken a giant leap in the right direction, and I’m very VERY excited about this next update!

Am I supposed to feel bad here? Try roaming with anything other than a thief or ele.

That sounds like it takes 5-10 of you to kill one hapless solo toon- which makes me wonder who is the talentless ones:-)

Got to agree they seem to be heading in the wrong direction with wvw but not for the changes you mentioned.

I finished my personal story out of boredom. A free skin. I don’t know what to do until Friday when we’re back in T4. I really do not like Arah story. There’s huge gaps of time where you’re just sitting there waiting for the next phase. And the loot? Blues. There’s been no improvement in there since the last story I did. I haven’t done explore yet.

Some people are doing the guild bounty things, but I haven’t researched that at all. And I’m already not interested. I just want a fun PVP game to play. Where is it?

We actually belong in T3….

TC and FA belong in T2 nowadays. After SoS freefalls down to whether they end up, DB/Mag/YB will be the new semi stable T3.

Other than that I mostly agree with everything.

orbs needed to go, as they gave zerg servers even more of an advantage. can’t say i care about jumping puzzles as i don’t go into wvw to pve.

Either make more maps or reduce the caps. Like maps with constantly flipping objectives and no actual structures that require sieging.

You kinda sound like one of those kittens who thrives on other peoples’ misfortune and whose only goal in the game is to feel like you’re a winner. Calling people talentless, even though it’s you(+ at least 4 of your friends) vs 1 person. In my eyes, if that person lasts more than 10 seconds, you’re the talentless one.

Please, if you are going to belittle others, please try and turn the aim against yourself first and see if you can live up to your own expectations.

wow, just wow. you generalized the entire world versus world community to your exact thought. FAIL.i love wvw, zergs are crap tactics on the bottom tier of eu, one team nailed arborstone’s zerg in EB, while my group went and capped arbor’s BL. culling is nonexistent if you have a medium performance computer. commanders arent too many of them, the ones that suck dont turn tags on and if they do they turn it off when we ask them. we have multiple commanders on a map? good, helps the noobs split up and gives a better chance of taking more stuff at once. come to FOW bro, its the life over here, just make sure to ignore a certain commander(cant name her, rules) but youll know who im talking about when you see her. she is good at commanding except when shes talking about how bad we are and how were sick little kids, and then she gets jumped by the whole server while i politly ask her to leave. lol.

I’m almost never in a group. In times when I’m in the puzzle part of me wants to make sure none of the enemies get the puzzle done, and the other half is me just wanting to do it myself. There’s people who keep coming back even with 5+ enemies killing people ahead of them.

When I’m talking about talentless kills, I’m talking specifically about a guild group with voice comms fighting a bunch of randoms in open field or trying to PVD something. They make videos of this stuff and it’s boring to watch.

I personally give credit to players who know how to dodge at the appropriate times, combo, and really know the ins and outs of both their own class and their opponent. People who use their environment to their tactical advantage, kite, and basically just adapt to any situation to either win, or make it fun. I /bow to these people if I win.

A 5second change to a single ability on a single class is making WvW worse? Um.. okay… slightly blowing that out of proportion.

I also don’t want many of the changes that have come/are coming (progression I think is just far too slippery a slope, esp +% dmg etc) but to say it’s unwanted.. well, majority do seem to (sadly!).
