Hello everyone!

I just wanted to introduce myself to this section of the Guildwars 2 Forum! I feel completely honored for Arenanet allowing me to better help my fellow players, by allowing more active feedback based on the communities responses. I, myself, have been WvW’ing for a very long time and was, for quite a while, a commander. I understand everyone has their own concerns they want brought up, and i will do my best to make sure those concerns are heard. Weekly i will be sending a report, concerning issues that have been brought up within common threads.

Everything doesn’t have to be negative though! I will be sending good feedback, and things of that nature. If you have any concerns, questions, or comments please feel free to message me or contact me in-game.

I plan on doing my best in supporting the playerbase, as well as Arenanet and i hope to see you all in-game!

Have Fun!

Not sure why you think the different skins for siege weapons would lead to positive feedback. It’s extremely confusing when regular siege is replace by superior/guild siege skins. Especially since superior siege now also use the same exact skins. Sloppy.

Ok first of all. What makes you WvW specialist ?

Your rank, server you play in, kill count, if WvW guild, tottal played hrs.

After this info we might think your some WvW guru or just a joke.

Yeah well, we haven’t gotten a lot of attention. As some guy said there are countless threads where the most clear problems are already stated.

What i think we need right now is more communication. There’s barely ever a red post, i doubt anet even reads this forum. Send them a request to prove us they do listen to us, better communication with us would be a great start to improve wvw!

Will the WvW issues be dealt with the same way as been promised when we had a DEV running inguild with us during the WvW Tournament? Or how it’s promised to dealt with since the last 2 years?

In that case, great to have a new mickey mouse face around in the forums.

He/she/it posted an application when ArenaNet opened applications for the forum specialists and they found that he/she/it was the best alternative of those that applied?

It most likely have a grand total of nothing at all about in-game stuff but rather the abilities shown when using the forums and such. The point of the forum specialists is after all to “tag” good ideas and such to make it easier for the devs to find them.

Congrats on the position, buuuut…

I kind of feel like your WvW experience and post history isn’t exactly reflective of you being able to represent the WvW community or really be called a “specialist”. Whilst I’m sure you have a keen interest in WvW I feel like someone with more experience and a more active post history (you’ve made 3 – 4 posts in the WvW forum as far as I can see, the rest are mostly regarding builds, though this of course doesn’t factor in archived posts, I believe).

Compare this to the dungeon forum where our Specialist has placed in a Tournament, as well as being a dungeon forum regular and it feels a little… well… off.

That said, take the bitterness with a grain of salt. The WvW community has largely been ignored for a long time with only minor improvements and some “tournaments” (lol) so there’s a bit of resentment towards ANet and putting someone who is well… maybe less experienced than the wider WvW community as a “Specialist” doesn’t really help.

Anyways, best of luck.

I think people are misunderstanding the point of the forum specialists. Quite possibly on purpose.

3)What do you call on TS just prior to pushing into an enemy zerg?

That is of course very much depending on which server/guild/commander, so more or less impossible to answer.

It isn’t impossible to answer, a good answer is a good answer. Anyone who has been in wvw on comms a while should be able to answer this, as there is one answer that is most called, then there are others that are called in addition, but usually ALWAYS one thing in particular is called if they actually know how to command. If they know how to wvw they will at least know one of the few good commands to give right before a push.

ANYONE can run around with a pin, not everyone is a commander however.
I have been on multiple servers and run with many guilds and this remains the same.

half of the questions about ebg?) the map where any your activity is ussualy most useless, GG.

1. There is a trick, but actually u can throw it on same place from above aswell, trowing it with your “trick” just makes it easiear to aim for best spot though. So the question is quit tricky.

2. It’s too poisition and siege dependent question and if it’s about groups of 40+ then u need 2 awesome mesmers.

3. Answer – " What is ts" =))))))))

4. Kinda long answer can apear on that, cause it’s aswell dependent a bit on keep and what force you and enemie has on this map or map jump. But that’s the only ok one question i guess.

5. Again ebg tower. EB is most selfesustained map ever, if he doesn’t know much about some certain towers attacking etc on that map doesn’t mean anything bad about him.

snipped so he cannot have a cheat sheet.

Why would ebg activity be useless? and you are not supposed to answer the questions. They were for the " forum specialist" quit giving him answers.( although you didn’t exactly give the right answers hah) Go delete them b4 he sees them so he doesn’t cheat! LOL

If you do not own all of EBG , you are not doing it right. And yes, there are answers, not necessarily one answer, just testing to see what kind of " specialist:" he is. If you come in to be a specialist on wvw you should be able to answer questions about any given map, any tower or keep. Most I wvw with can answer these questions regardless of map, so if you want to be called a specialist, you should at least be able to demonstrate some knowledge on the subject, and No these are not tricky questions, these are the easy ones. Considering many servers have manuals on how to do this stuff, this should be easy.

We have a Specialist who did not post a lot in the WvW subforum, so the wvw-oriented players know little about him. I don’t know (and as I see it’s similar for others) if he has all the information to select the right threads/posts to highlight, if he knows what are “our” thoughts about updates.
Maybe he’s more of a reading type forum user, not writing a lot but still knows everything.
Maybe he’s a veteran-EotM player and wants more PvE elements.
Maybe he’s a veteran GvG player who wants GvG Arena/Support in WvW.
Maybe he’s a scout/roamer/PPT/etc…

All “we” can do is ask him what he knows then decide if “we” can “support” him or not.
(Even if it means no change from Anet’s side, I want to know what kind of player is representing me.)

And what you call before pushing is thou depends on the server/guild/commander, you can get information for the style that server/that guild/that commander prefers.
(But I think most of the commanders are using the “Meta-tactics”..)

Those are easy questions most wvw players should be able to have an answer to. How can he let the devs know what needs to be relayed if he is not knowledgeable on wvw? Otherwise he can think a terrible idea a good one simply because he doesn’t know how the game is played.

Yea, the EoTM thing is worrisome to me, I don’t think they realize the mass exodus and rants that would ensue if they turned WvW into EoTM. The way I have heard some of them talk, they are not seeing the problem with EoTM and think that to be a good thing.

I, of course am not saying there is only one answer to the questions, just want to see what his answers are to gage an idea of his knowledge on the subject. Most of the wvw vets have heard different answers to these questions already and expect it to be one of a few things, as people have their " own way of doing things" but also not every combination works, and there are some things we have heard/ done so many times it is " worn in" as tried and true.

I’ve been reading through the thread every since i posted it last night, and wanted to get a few things cleared up before we all continued our relationship further. I understand all of your concerns on whether or not im even qualified to be called a “specialist”. So here are some of my stats that may help with those concerns.
Total hours: 2,500 WvW rank: 300 Total AP: 8,500 Total Kills: 5,700

Someone who really represents the WvW community will have at least 1 banned account, and a second which lots of infractions and temporary suspensions, and a third account ready for when their 2nd is also banned. Why? Because these people are willing to argue with the mods and devs and are not afraid to put their honest opinions forward, even if they are opinions anet does not like!

Summary of most common concerns:
Zoom Hackers/ exploiters
Server population imbalance/ broken tiers
large scale GvG
Players want loot and chests for defending, defending is non profitable, easy and boring.
Wvw is pay to win, and needs to be less pay to win.
Wvw needs to be self sustaining financially. PVe makes players money, PVP makes players money, WVW takes all players money.

People worried they are going to turn WvW into EoTM with chokepoints and treacherous heights.(* gets ill just thinking about it*) More ways to attack many different targets from different directions is much better than linear chokepoints.

People worried they are going to remove personal character customization of wvw rank points by setting them the same for all characters.
Wanting more toys and skills to fight with in wvw.

I think that petty much sums up the most of it. XD

There are 3 more maps in www and your questions being specific to EB brings into mind that you only play at that map. Players stacking at EB is one of the problems in www.

Cut him some slack guys. In order to be a specialist you had to have no infractions and have a positive outlook on the area you represent.

One does not post in the WvW forum without being infracted.

One certainly doesn’t have a positive outlook on WvW after nearly 3 years of playing it.

Cut the OP some slack and lets see if anything positive can come of this.

OP: Why don’t you try and hit the ground running by going through the past few pages and find a topic you’d like to send to ANet first and we can get some discussion going.

Lack of rewards, dying servers, poor coverage, horrible balance, and stale gameply are always winners!

Don’t blame him for being selected. But, your parameters are whack. I meet nome of those except kills. I seldom post on the forums and NEVER in this section, but that doesnt mean I am not dedicated to WvW. As for banned accounts, that should not be a badge of honor, like you are saying it should be, but instead an embarassment. I am fully aware of issues in WvW but also am content with how it is. Changes are nice, sure, but in my experience as someone who, now mostly just roams and havocs for the same server since beta, I enjoy it.

Back on topic: he doesnt HAVE to know ANYTHING about WvW to be a forum specialist. I couldnt answer those questions and I’m over rank 1000. His job is to relay information between players and ArenaNet. You dont need knowledge on the subject to do that

This is a good thing. I’d never heard of the Forum Specialist Initiative but I went back and looked at it and its a good idea.

And it is good to have a level headed, polite person in the position. In fact here is one of the requirements:

  • must have a Guild Wars 2 forum account in good standing with a history that includes minimal, if any, warnings or infractions

That alone probably disqualifies most of the more active members of the WvW Forums.

So welcome Marmatt! I hope you have thick skin.

I think the next question is, how many people knew that Anet were taking applications from players to become a “Forum Specialist”?

You see, the post regarding that was posted in the General Discussions forums, WvW players most likely hardly visit that section, sticking to this one.
I do not recall a red posts in these WvW forums letting us know that they were going to do this. This means a lot of people who would have wanted to sign up, didnt because they didnt know because they stick to this forum instead.

The worrying thing is that you consider those stats to be sufficient to be defined as a ‘specialist.’ Your rank is disproportionately low compared with the number of hours you’re claiming you’ve put into the game. That means most of your in-game focus has likely been elsewhere and not in WvW. I mean, you’ve barely even maxed out Defense Against Guards and Guard Killer lines. It’s beginner-level. The community would have more faith in a person who was quite obviously heavily or exclusively WvW-focused rather than an obviously PvX player who hasn’t really ever participated in this community at all up until now, yet are now suppose to be this area’s ‘specialist’ despite your very first post in this forum proclaiming yourself as such.

Anyway I’m not really blaming you. Maybe, as others have said, you were one of the few who met the strict criteria and people more suited to the role may not have been able to. Just understand there are some people here who play GW2 purely for WvW and close to 100% of their time in-game is spent there. There are many issues with this game mode which require dev attention and hopefully you’ll be able to pick these up quickly from observing what the actual ‘specialists’ of this game mode are saying and relay it to the appropriate people.

Good luck.

I think the main reason is due to this:

In fact here is one of the requirements:

  • must have a Guild Wars 2 forum account in good standing with a history that includes minimal, if any, warnings or infractions

That alone probably disqualifies most of the more active members of the WvW Forums.

So any active WvW players who post regularly here would not meet that requirement, as we’ve been infracted for our concerns.

You get an infraction because you violate the terms of conduct, not because anet doesn’t like you or your comment XD.

Marmatt, your stats and post history are the problem!

A lot of players here will have 5000+ hours, rank 1700+, 14k+ AP, and over 125k+ kills! And over 12 pages of posts in their forums profile section, where almost all of their posts are in the WvW Discussions section!

Someone who really represents the WvW community will have at least 1 banned account, and a second which lots of infractions and temporary suspensions, and a third account ready for when their 2nd is also banned. Why? Because these people are willing to argue with the mods and devs and are not afraid to put their honest opinions forward, even if they are opinions anet does not like!

ahahahahaha, 1 banned 2nd infracted 3rd standby lololol

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to introduce myself to this section of the Guildwars 2 Forum! I feel completely honored for Arenanet allowing me to better help my fellow players, by allowing more active feedback based on the communities responses. -snip-

Have Fun!

Welcome Marmatt and congrats on the position! Don’t let the downers get to you! I for one am glad to have someone that will gather and pass on feedback and in general communicate ideas to Anet! Hope to see you around and in game
