Guild Wars 2

WvW Resurgence maybe… at least until you come across stupid kitten like SM airships or have to play the BL’s then its like log out and go play checkers with my dog which is hella more fun than pve kitten in WvW or AI which has no place in WvW. Just about time you think ok maybe this WvW isn’t gonna be so bad after all more crap hits you between the eyes and your like screw it!

GW2 needs competition. Few games due out later this year with one having probably the upper hand with regards to this format of play. Just depends if it delivers or hype prevails. Anyway, state of the game is stale and devs have had 3 years to sort this out and have not done so. Map changes, edge of mists, etc.

Question at the end of the day is simple. Do any of us still playing WvW honestly feel it is fun with all of the class / trait / skill / food or any other buff balance issues? Zerg vs. zerg and nothing but red circles of AoE crap on the ground honestly makes it almost impossible to play let alone enjoy the game.

I honestly don’t get it other than they have 3 formats of play and it makes it tough to focus on 3 at the same time. So one loses and that is WvW. Too bad really.

Nope, that’s why I won’t buy HOT until the community says things are better.

Zerging is only one aspect of wvw. The information from the wvw commanders is useful but A-net needs to take consideration for the roamers as well. I go to EB when I want to zerg and I used to go to the borderlands to roam. Small group play accounts for ~40% of the ppt gained (camps and instant ppt).

Dont worry, they got roamers covered!

Apparently the cap on the borders have been raised to fit more roamers in, so you can bring a 40 man roaming group and still be outmanned against the enemy 120 man roaming group.

Roaming, woooooo!

LOL

So much this ^^

Don’t forget, its actually 40 vs 240, cause you, as the weak server will get constantly double teamed by the other 2 servers map blobs.

I miss the days of old whereas a party of 8 would roam the main gates or Emain Mecha. Different game, different time, but still had plenty to offer solo roamers, parties of 8, or zergs. And each type of play yielded equal reward, risk, and help to the greater good of the game.

Can’t really blame the devs for being silent. I’ve had this game since day one and back in the beginning they were active and vocal on the forums. What I noticed was a large part of the community was very hostile towards. Nitpicking their words, insulting them, being passive aggressive.

I want them to come back, it’s cool to be able to talk to developers and play alongside them in game. Unfortunately I know that they will have to endure a lot of abuse if they do; so its best they continue on with their own “vision” of the game.. in silence. While people blame the devs for things like the current balance of the game I believe a lot of the whining from the community has contributed towards that as well.

The game is in the worst state it’s ever been and I believe “we” are equally to blame. I don’t think any of this is fixable as it would take too much time and money to do all the fixes needed. Rip Guild Wars 2

Are you honestly suggesting that a valid excuse for not talking to your consumer is “they were mean to me” and “they’re never happy anyway”? It is most definitely not best for the devs to continue with their vision for the game if their vision is reflected in Golem week and dragon banners and Stonemist Airships. Those are not good ideas. Everything else can be dealt with, like siege and zerging; we’ve had to deal with those things from the beginning of the game and when Devon Carver decided to try his hand at designing, but we’ve adapted. Those were hated changes, but at least manageable changes. Now I’d hate to see what the devs have in store simply come into existence. I’d much rather we get a clear picture of the way they see the game developing and say “THIS IS HOW IT WILL BE, DISCUSS” and take suggestions about how that could be bettered. Ignore the people who simply say “this is a bad decision, revert that” much like they’re ignoring those suggesting we bring back the alpine borderlands. Instead, focus on what can be changed about the desert borderlands to make them more enjoyable for everyone.

Calling it “whining” implies that many didn’t have legitimate complaints. Slapping a scoreboard on anything creates a competitive atmosphere, throw unaddressed broken mechanics into the mix and naturally, there will be upset participants. If they violate forum policy, then that’s why we have moderators. I doubt the forum silence became prominent simply because they were thin skinned, instead it seems to be a result of the mode being neglected and them really having nothing to share with an increasingly dissatisfied community. Having the playerbase become emotionally invested in a game, especially an MMO, is a good thing but if and when the devs mess up, they’re going to hear it. Its better than irrelevance and apathy. Passionate players can be a gold mine but Anet is insisting on the eSports route.

Yes, they should silently continue with their own vision of a mode that has been a few years launched, already has an audience and requires massive and constant participation. That totally hasn’t produced disastrous results. >.>
A lot of the “whining” I saw was about population imbalances, stale matchups, defending and rewards in general still not being worth diddly, combat (and most activities) being too zerg friendly and a lot of what we got was in direct opposition of that.

Players and the people who run the game are never on equal footing so I think that’s a bit of a stretch. One is amorphous and operates within boundaries set by the other. For example, announcing a “coverage wars” tournament, disregarding human nature and opening up free transfers when tiers had no time to adjust had massive and obvious consequences but they did it anyway! So no, players cannot even begin to do the kind of damage Anet can and has done.

O..k.. was worth a watch… funny as hell….
Fyi all: Just so you know, By the time Anet finishes fixing stuff in WvW & the rest of the game, IT WILL Be TO LATE!
Most base players will have already left for one of the new games coming out in 2016.

I uninstalled 2 days ago after reading the CoR ‘fix’ post on general forums. Anet just want to please their pve playerbase who don’t even know what a breakbar is ( for real, it was all over reddit a couple of days ago).
Enough for me. Tired of being considered like a subpar customer by Colin & co.
