Guild Wars 2

I think it’s unfair that the defense is so automated but attacking isn’t.
They should bring back siegerazor and have him roam the map attacking 1 structure at a time.
As soon as you WP onto a map you are immediately teleported to siegerazors location, you auto follow him unless you manually move from his location, and he now spawns minion npc’s to build and man the siege that he spawns at each tower.
If no one logs on to trigger siegerazor he’ll just move out on his own with his little minions to attack things.

Sounds like a solution that anet can get behind to solve the population problem doesn’kitten Most people find it expensive and boring to tag up and take structures so let’s make it easier on everyone by making it automated.

No one is playing because it is automated. More automation is not the answer, it’s the problem.

I dunno man, I’ve seen a lot of posts saying how great the auto upgrades are. If we get this auto karma train going we will have action 24/7 and we won’t even need players. Doesn’t that sound exciting?!

Yes. Automate attacking also. Then you can have the AI fighting and nuking each other with gigantic lasers. “The only way to win is not to play.”

And maybe Anet can develop and release an App that will alert us — 1 hour prior to reset — which server’s NPC beat the other two server’s NPC’s in the prior week’s match up.

Hopefully the App will alert our smartphones and not our PC’s, because I’ll be using my computer to play Fallout 4.

Siegerazer with npc blob taking it all, when done siegecrusher starts at ole citadel and do the same, joining wvw will put you into spectator mode. there, a fully automated borderland.

/Sarcasm off.

This could work, but only if you still got rewards. Everyone knows WvW players have stuck to this game mode because of how rewarding it is.

Maybe a chest with a chest inside that doesnt stack and gives soulbound items every 3 minutes you watch. And a map meta completion chest when you watch the whole capture of a borderland.

Siegelazer, new npc.

Actually, if that Charr dude in the PvE went to the mists and became a wizard, maybe Siegerazer did some your-a-wizard manoeuvres and became that mid-event.

I just blew my own mind.

Just have to make sure 90% of those soulbound items are crafting materials like bloodstone dust.

I can just Imagine ANet’s WvW guru scribbling this stuff down. Next year’s upgrades sorted. Maui Time!

Pretty sure all the current changes and the new map came from threads like these.

Anyway what I’d like to see is mobs attacking objectives in the new BL since players refuse to go to them. Might as well throw hordes of mobs at stuff to make the map playable. If players do not want to change, adapt, learn new tactics might as well turn it into Silverwastes and be done with it.

Not our fault if the devs cant actually figure out what satire is. >.< Its pretty obvious. Either that, or they really do hate WvW and they do stuff from posts like this just to make us even more irritated.

I would like to see an event where an elder dragon spawns, decimates your enemies, and wrecks their stuff. The “Dragon’s Wrath” event would trigger if a server didn’t control any structures on their home BL and had 4 or less players remaining. The dragon is not taking sides, it is simply angry at karma training, night capping, and population imbalances. A victory chest containing ley line sparks and flax would be mailed to the last 25 players to have seen action on the BL.

Bring back siegerazer and have his minions build siege. I hate building siege.

Well, the later point is totally serious.

Talk about entitlement. A thread like this is everything that is wrong with gaming.

People don’t even make their own PCs anymore, and play on laptops.

If you people have your way, we’ll soon be playing WvW on tablets, and swiping to cap.

You have no clue that 95% of this entire thread was sarcasm…. Are you a dev?

First i was laughing.
Then i realised: With the new stronghold PvP map we already HAVE a szenario where you spawn NPC’s to take down enemy’s gates.
Now i’m scared

This thread has me laughing so hard i am crying. Well done!

Need a new sarcasm/satire meter perhaps?

I’m surprised the 5ish people that are supporting auto upgrades in every thread aren’t jumping all over this idea with their support for it.

I mean it’s basically the same thing right?

no!!!!!!!

1 ….make all chars entering WvW siegerazor strengh x100..
2 ….speedbuff all x50
3….. automate everything
4 …. full auto loot
5 …free beers

sit back relax and enjoy the show…..

I think the batteries on yours might be dead. Get some new ones!

How long do you guys think it’ll be before they start selling advertising space inside the game? Instead of supplies, the yaks could be bringing Pepsi. Instead of towers, they could be Taco Bells. Instead of camps, they could be Orange Julius’s. And instead of Keeps, they could be Pizza Huts. They could even go a step further, and have the individual pieces of siege sponsored by companies too. Balistas, Catapults and Trebs could all be sponsored by Smith & Wesson. Golems could be sponsored Old Spice. Omegas could be sponsored by Nike. And obvious the rams would be sponsored by Viagra.

Then they could afford to hire an actual WvW team, instead of just sticking whoever drew the shortest straw as the figurehead/scapegoat, and outsourcing everything from the PvE departments.

Even on the old map, Siegerazer could take a tower for you, ‘long as you knocked the door down first. What would be perfect is the Golem event where Omega Golems were autonomous and able to construct more Omega Golems ad infanitum until dystopian perfection is, at last, achieved. Then I could watch Hollyoaks knowing that I’d made no difference whatsoever….sweet..

New WvW mastery- Rams are enveloped in a protective sheath. Once you open up the tower gate the sheath bursts so your party can get inside.

Would Siegerazor bother to take the shrines?

Siegerazor also spawn camps other seigerazors……sets up ballis outside opposing spawn when he gets down their. Seigerazor should also throw seige on defeated NPCs and /sit spam for added automated player realism

Siegerazer should stream on Twitch so I wouldn’t need to log in

i want miss wet Tshirt contests in sm every happy hour

I’m pretty sure Siegerazor walked through a gate and took a tower in my matchup. As I walked by the tower, it was blue (we’re green) and Razor’s yak was headbutting the gate. Walls were also up.

Next thing I know, the tower flips green. No green dots on the minimap anywhere in the vicinity.

So it seems autopilot is already happening.

As a side note. It was 10pm pacific time, tier 4, and we had maybe 5 players in all of EB… and we weren’t even outmanned. That’s how bad it is now.

Number 2 skill on rams pour alcohol on the gate for vulnerability before starting to ram

guess we need automatic omegas running around too if there is gonna be auto upgrades

To be fair, Sleazerazer had a habit of glitching through the gates on the old maps too. So we were being prepped for autopilot the instant he was put in.

I think the new siegelaser and his minions should ride around on dinosaurs when they are k-training for us, the old siegerazor was way too slow.

You may have stumbled onto the plan
O.O

I think this is a fabulous idea. But, I can see a few key design elements that need twerking.

First, I believe this is going to use up valuable resources within our computers while we’re playing other games. Therefore, I think this should be made into a screen saver application that can be used during off peak gaming hours.. Thus, freeing up valuable computer resources when it is needed the most.

Secondly, it lacks the raw thrill of RNG. I believe this could be solved by programming Siege Razer to attack and capture towers in a random sequence. Which also solves the problem of our CRT pixels from being burned in, and will prevent over usage of the same memory addresses and premature wear in our SSDs.

I believe Microsoft had an old program involving fish that could be consulted for reference to help solve any problems during the design phase.

Found this in another thread, apparently the idea of WvW playing itself is catching on.

Just a thought for discussion.

Replace what would have been players in an empty map with respective npcs (until it reaches the player cap of that map), that is organized and constantly fight to capture and hold key strategic areas, in a perpetual conflict that would (without intervention) result in a balance equilibrium or equal points to each team. When a player does log on, they will randomly replace an npc. If enough players log on, then all the npcs will be replaced. Depending on the numbers of npcs remaining on map, their roles may change as well. Imagine the forever epic feel of logging on a map to find fights always happening!

Now a privileged player (one with commander tag or some other ability or prerequisite) could influence npcs and give them instructions and focus. So in theory, even if only one human player plays on a server in tier 8, for a few hours a day, could make a difference to their server if they make good decisions to manage the npcs.

In another scenario, imagine a lesser populated server paired off against a larger populated one. It may give a cunning player a fighting chance if the player could instruct the npcs to attempt to capture points all over the map forcing the larger group to commit players to defend.
