Guild Wars 2

So season 3 was a storm: what did it do?

1. The scoring/siege troll discussions are ridiculous. These are the LAST things real wvw’ers care about. No one cares about PPT/Scoring. We want even matches. Not even scores.

2. Siege Troll is annoying but not nearly as prevelant as most people say. Its rare. So put the resources towards improving the matchups on being even, instead of siege troll fix.

3. Feature Patch 2 was a let down to wvw, siege golem mastery???, need meaninful content after this season

4. JQ Server is now dead thanks

JQ failed in double teaming and now it is dead.

There are no “servers” as we knew them before. It’s not possible to do any kind of “call to arms” or rally your server population because of megaservers. It’s even become commonplace to be fighting against your own guildmates in EB while talking to them in Teamspeak.

Population will dictate the winners of any future tournaments and right now BG has it in the bag.

Ask any BG player….they are always out numbered and win only by superior organization and outstanding play.

Everyone but a few delusional servers knows that seasons is bad for the WvW population. I’ve noticed that the WvW population drops every time we have one, not to mention the bandwagoning that goes on right before each season, which destroys servers in the process.

Low quality trolling since launch.

At least you acknowledge it yourself

Funny… My server population grew during this season…

Can’t speak for everyone of course but from my server/tier experience, I notice that commanders/guilds put in a lot of OT during seasons and get burned out. After seasons, they either leave the game or go extremely casual. Happened in S1, S2 and now S3. And I hear a lot of the same thing from other players in different tiers.

I’m pretty sure ours did too.

1. Some people do care about PPT. The only ones who SAY they don’t are the ones who get beat every week.
2. This was a big deal during season 2, but not as big of a problem during season 3
3. Agreed. ANET should be ashamed with the pace of their WvW development. They need to either add some resources to the group or they need some fresh ideas out of whoever is running it.
4. Yeah right. JQ is nowhere near dead. Look what they did to T2 recently.

From what I’ve seen, everyone always seems to think that they are outnumbered and I think that’s because it’s easy, when looking at the enemy’s tags, to count all the pets, minions, and clones as enemies so that in a fairly even battle, both sides can think that they were outnumbered by the other side.

1. There are lots of WvW players that play ppt. A lot have given up and just look for fights because of uneven coverage though.

2. As a server that was siege trolled like crazy during this season. I find this to be a major issue.

3. Everyone who plays WvW regularly is going to agree that things are slow. Hopefully with all the different discussions going on now we’ll see some major things with feature pack 3.

4. Couldn’t tell ya about JQ. I heard some guilds left. I don’t think that qualifies as being dead though.

Go play a bit on AR and you’ll see your server is nowhere close of being dead.

Even AR isn’t completely dead. They managed to do a decent job of taking quite a bit yesterday and had some fairly large numbers on for a while.

Ok, so points 1-4 had nothing to do with season 3….so where is your list of damage done?

Thought the shorter time frame worked out, didn’t really care about the tickets but could appreciate the weekly claims versus one mass at the end. The achievements requirement seemed light but didn’t see anyone indicating it was too hard and the people just out for the achievements appeared on the weekend and vanished on the weekdays each week versus vanishing after week one. Not sure if that’s a positive or a negative or it makes a difference. But not seeing any negative effect unless you are talking about people jumping servers, if that’s the issue take it up with the people that left and or with why they left your server versus the season itself. Good hunting!

Well the so called Swiss system which means you don’t play the same server twice needs some tweaking to put it mildly, we drew the same overpopulated server 3 times in 4 weeks, so still trying to read between the lines of what the devs said pre matchups. WvW is a really important part of the game and somebody needs to pay attention, and maybe time to relook at your overall system, no ques for most of the tournie, which means the winning servers don’t win by skill, but by default due to their numbers, and people just not interested.

i’m from a beastgate and i think they successfully double teamed us in season 2

dude, they ddos’d our comms…our teamspeak was constantly crashing and down the entire season 2, that combined with being double teamed, was too much for us to win, but in season 3 we got ddos protection and you’ve seen the result when we can talk to each other now

beastgate, son !
