Guild Wars 2

So last night i went to bed, we were in first. I went to bed around 2-3. Woke up this morning and we’re in last and i’m being told that they night capped us. Then I am also told that people have been doing a “flyhack” to get orbs and steamroll. Is it really that bad? I mean i haven’t been paying much attention to the WvW forums or WvW battles, only recently have I started playing it a lot. So is it really that common?

hacking I haven’t seen but nightcapping is pretty bad, lots of servers openly invite other timezone guilds to move :/

Its a problem because if they do it and take all of the orbs while you’re asleep because you don’t have other timezoners in your server you will fight players in your timezone who now own all of your land AND have a huge stat and health bonus.

night cap is alright if they took it legit.
if they still qq about night cap blame arenanet for making it non regional
while hacking is out of the line.

I’m from Yak’s Bend and I’ve pretty much already given up this week on WvW. With GoM hacking to get orbs and our server having no idea what to do, there isn’t a point in having to constantly defend and repair every time I go on there.

My guild has the majority of its members on the East coast and we still own 75% of WvW total. Granted every1 on east coast prolly stayed up till about 5-6. Presence is a aspect in wvw if you cant keep it thats not any1’s fault but your own. Wvw is a on going thing you cant pause the game whenever you’de like, just how it is.

Yup, second week in row, and the exactly same thing happens. Few hours of even, fun and exciting fights, then one server suddenly sweeps all 4 maps, and gains 4x the point count of the other 2, which remain at around the same point level. One server logs entirely then, which means the dominating server roflstomps the remaining single server even more. Last night we had about 10 total people left in 3 maps, while the dominating server had a full zerg taking the remaining keeps. No chance to defend.

Face it, Anet put this WvW thing in cos they felt obligated to do so, never really looked into it that much and you see the results here…

My feeling is we will have to wait a longtime before they do anything, they got a 90/100 rating on their game, who cares about a bunch of players complaining about WvW, there is no insentive for them to act or do anything.

It’s a bad concept implemented halfkitten 100s of games have gotten it wrong when it comes to PvP MMOs, it’s easy to yap yap about being all that and a bag of chips, but when it comes down to making a good structured PvP game, you gotta step away from the office chair and be a true gamer… Not a lonewolf crafting harvesting loner who loves his graphics and the fluff…

Shame on Anet, worst PvP MMO I’ve seen in years, if not ever.

Want to see WvW hack vids, please. Don’t post the link here, though, you’ll get banned. Post it on Guru.

Sounds like you are not playing the right PvP mode for you

I’ve played on a few different servers, and this is a constant compliant. Either hacking or one server just night caps. I can see not a lot of people favor WvW. If they ever release a new form of PvP, im afraid wvw will become a lot less played.

It seems weird to me to lump those two into the same category. One’s an exploit. One’s just playing the game.

Yes, its really getting out of control at nights. People flying, running at insane speed that looks like they have double swiftness + warping 50 yd at a time constantly when you get them to low hp.

In fact, wvw is really starting to feel like warhammer online lately and roaming is impossible at nights.

Also, unless they can make it so every country that has same timezone has their own server, its impossible to avoid night capping. So i think its fine.

Why don’t they just make worldwide servers? I’ve run into people from Australia, Japan, and Europe on Blackgate and I’ve read about the dreaded French Canadians on the European servers. Final Fantasy XI servers were worldwide back in 2003 and they only had very minor latency issues that are surely better nearly a decade later. Around the clock population would be a around the clock war.

eeh around the world server.. so saying they should then put the server in the middle of the earth since anything else would not be world wide but be regional as it is now :/

so nothing would change, but instead if a EU server would face a US server the players would be missing each other and things would be crap

‘your’ fault… whose fault exactly?

Like his, personally? His fault to be forced to sleep at night for whatever reason? Or his guilds fault, a bunch of people banding together for various reasons that connect all of them, like similar online times? (and unfortunately most of them being productive workerbees in their underpaid 9-5 jobs and/or fathers/mothers) Or “your fault” as in entirety of the server he is playing on that happens by pure chance to not have a lot of players able to play videogames during nighttime?

If his server is getting night capped his only fault is not having transferred servers yet.

No, this issue is not going to magically solve itself. The way it’s going right now is how it will be going. For every player joining the underdog there is at least one joining the sunnier side…

This is what happened before in other games and I actually cannot think of one exception. And it did not exactly do great things for the WvW-esque game modes in those games…..
