Guild Wars 2

WvW is broken, it’s a fact. There’s already 60 pages of topics in WvW forum. Most of them about same old things:

Hackers/Cheaters.
Exploits.
Rewards.
Free transfer.
Night capping.

So far we have an official statement only about the last one. Ok, many people wanted Anet’s answer about this and they got it. Peace.

But what about other bloody things?
We heard only “Blah-blah-blah, thank you for your concern, blah-blah-blah.” My, thank you for your time, dear Arena Net employe, but it’s not an answer.

It would be really nice to hear an actual, detailed statement from you, Anet. I want to know, if hackers was found and banned. I want to know, if there’s any point of waiting a better reward system. When free transfers will end already? Are you punishing players for using WvW exploits, and why the hell not?

The incident with karma items was resolved in couple of days, but we have the same broken WvW for a month already.

Your silence is not helping. It’s just showing us how much you care. Some people will make excuses for you, like “they need a time, the game is just came out, it’s not that simple to find exploits and block hacks” etc-etc. Ok, fine, you have a some decent fan base, I’ll give you that. But it’s not like we bought the game from those people. It’s your product and you responsibility.

Fellows from my server (GoM) apologizing for hackers and ruined matches that they caused. They have courage do so, even if it’s not their fault and they can’t do a thing about this. It’s just absurd. Why a consumer must apologize for actions of another consumers when the company keeping a silence? Have some dignity, Anet.

It’s just an open letter or some sort, not a place for discussion. Thank you.

It is like their WvW team was let go after the game was released. I would be willing to pay a WvW subscription fee so they could pay someone to fix these problems.

Night capping was answered, it at the top of the this forum section. Your eyes, dem good son.

The irony of this post.

@ OP: Just send them a support ticket and they’ll give you an answer. That’s what I did.

Hackers/Cheaters. – As always report them and they will get investigated/banned. Not sure what you are expecting here.
Exploits. Same as above
Rewards. Sounds like your personal issue slipped in here. No idea what rewards you want that are not already there.
Free transfer.
Night capping. Answered.

Apparently, “WvW isn’t how I want it to be” = WvW is broken

No OP, WvW is not broken. Not sure where you learned the definition of that word. Can it use some changes, yes.

You’re not entitled to a kitten thing.

Ah, so flying orbs, speed hacks, invincible players, skill that allow go through gates etc was intended from the very start? Wow. You’re making such good support for this game, I’m speechless.

Well there are several issues at the moment, and Anet tends to be quite a silent company.

I would rather silence to say Blizzard’s BS patronizing PR.

However there are a few things that could be addressed and fixed, and a small hey we are working on these things list would go a long way.

Things like, do you really feel it is ok for one team to be invulnerable or have invulnerable siege while they attack a fort?

Do you intend people to attack through solid objects like doors, with abilities and catapults?

Will you allow us more control over commander such as ability to turn it on, off change the color of the icon, show only to group/guild and so forth?

The reward for PvP is currently badges, and Realm Bonuses, with the only real reward being “I enjoyed the experience”.

Since the armor is really just a skin ( Not a great one even ) and the bonuses will be there if you go PvP or not, do you have plans for a system to keep players coming back after their 5,000th kill?

DaoC and Warhammer Online both had realm ranks, which gave skill points to be used for new abilities. Even if you just gave additional trait points that would be something. Maybe even better titles, for 100-500-1000-2000-5000-10k kills and so on?

I know you want balance so you dont want to give too much of an edge for WvW rewards, but some extra trait points isnt THAT major of a thing.

But I agree some kind of answer/update would be great.

You have more than one official statement on every single thing in your list…

Maybe try the dev tracker?

People only see what they want to see, even if the facts are still there.

@OP, Devs have responded, but you don’t like their answers. So this whole topic is false.

Then a link to a couple should be no issue.

And I am meaning a state of the game this is our thoughts and what we are working on.

Not a dev tracker, bug report it and we’ll look into it. Or we are aware that is happening and are thinking about it.

Not even looking for a in the future we plan on doing something more with rewards, which is obvious but what is on the table and what is off?

God forbid there’s issues in the first month of a new MMO. Let’s all kitten some more about it, because that seems to have worked in the past.

You will get a “report hackers through mail” response. And before an incompetent employee says that, Im going ahead and answer him that banning a hacker doesnt undo the damage. And that you should repair points and the damage done.

We as consumers deserve an answer about wtf is happening with so many hackers and why is so easy to hack the game for teleport/speed/flying/etc.

WE DEMAND ANSWERS.

I like that one hacker/exploiter’s been doing it for weeks. Those bans are really brisk, eh?

@wdspeck Yes if people exploit and generate infinite money like they did for the karma thing, Anet stepped in VERY quickly and dropped the ban hammer.

Why because it single handedly could ruin the economy if left alone.

This isnt complaining that some random skill point in some random zone is broken, this is asking about what is for many people the end game of GW2.

And we are just asking for 5mins of someones time to throw up a things we’re working on list.

Yeah, but it’s the whole “we deserve this, we deserve that” attitude that I’m referring to, really. And when people complain on these forums for the sake of complaining. There’s issues, yes. Broken? No. And people act as if ArenaNET is just chillin and not trying to do anything about it. That’s just how I’m seeing this thread, and maybe I’m looking at it wrong because I’ve seen so much of it that I associate all threads like this with that kind of attitude, but like I said: that’s this thread is coming off to me.

World versus World
Updated the Red Portal Keep in the Eternal Battlegrounds to ensure the “no siege” debuff encompasses the entire start point.
Fixed a bug with Keep Lords in World versus World where they could become immune to damage.

-some amazing stuff right there! thats alot things done for wvw in a week!

@wdspeck that attitude of we deserve this we deserve that is being a customer that demands respect. We paid for a product and a service, and we demand a minimal quality in customer service. Wich we are not getting.

Im not sure you have another hobby but Im telling you this stuff doesnt happen there. Videogames usually have a free ticket for bad customer service because “lol kids”. But I can assure a big part of the players here are not kids. And while we do understand that is impossible to fix all bugs in one month, is not hard work to writte a 5 minutes explanation about what they are doing with hackers. How are they preventing it and how will they repair the damage done by hackers.

They are not even trying to repair the damage because all the hacker servers won the matches were they hacked and no one give anything about it.

The total silence and the cryptic and unuseful responses that we are getting from CC XXXXXXX are not helping all. I can accept that there are hackers, but I wont accept the people that got my money to be silent about it. Heck as people said they are not even banning the hackers.

And all of this is just putting a bandage. The real issue is that game is easily hackable and has no security at all. Why doesnt anet post a thread telling us why the system lacks all the security that we need? I tell you why, bad service.

Todays patch was quite abit of a huge letdown. Only 1 exploit was fixed and that was somewhat very minimal.

You -don’t- think Anet doesn’t already know about all these issues? Yes, we paid for the game, and I understand that as customers we are all deserved information to some degree. However, most of these threads appear to be children stomping their feet because devs are not giving content patches every week because they’re grinding the kitten out of the game.

Enjoy the game. If you don’t, take a break and wait for all the kinks to be worked out. People can harp all they want, it won’t make them work harder. I’d like to see some of you actually see what they have to do to make adjustments to the game.

Let them work. Whining on the forums takes up more of the attention away from working on the game. If you cannot accept that the Anet staff have lives and do not work to appease every single player, then perhaps you shouldn’t play any new games for the first few months of release.

Shintai.5618:

That it is.

Mc Knighter no one is complaining about fixes, why dont you read the opening post maybe? He is complaining about the silence of anet. If you see a thread of people complaining about not getting fixes on first month, go complain there. Not here where is irrelevant.

Also, the engineers are not the customer service department. So I dont see how anet writting a post here would delay people coding.

He’s asking for fixes by asking for Anet to tell him that they will make a fix.

Don’t try to over think it?

No, he is just asking for an explanation and coherent customer service. Dont try to backpedal.

While people still QQ about night-capping it’s good that Anet have given us an answer on it.
So it would be nice to get some answers about some of the topics the OP has mentioned.
