WvW and the Heart of Thorns Release
Seriously, if it ain’t broke then don’t fix it. Leave reset on Friday evening where it belongs.
The only way to win any argument w/ Anet is to vote w/ your feet. Or your purse/wallet whatever. Or you are destined to be angry and disappointed.
I really don’t care if they change any days, any time or even if they close this game. I stopped paying to Anet for a long time. And this from a person who had paid 2 original accounts w/ bells & whistles plus another account to play w/ friends in another server.
No more.
Disclosure: I’ve paid far more $ into CU than to Anet. And CU isn’t around yet for another year.

I agree, but unfortunately this is something we no longer can do. They pushed the expansion so hard and made it so we could only have a reasonable chance to test anything in WvW and the WvW maps if we preordered. Now that we’ve all (obviously I just mean a large number of us) preordered we can’t tell them we won’t because we already have.
We need a strawpoll for how many people wishes they didn’t preorder now that they ruined a large part of our enjoyment in WvW. Pointless as it may be.
They already discriminate against us anyway. More abuse is expected. We’re the red headed step children of this game.

Great change. Reset time is irrelevant. Though Tue reset at say 7pm might be the best.

If you think reset time is irrelevant, then why do you think its a great change? Contradiction aside, keeping it friday night should be fine to you since the time is “irrelevant”
Honesty is not insulting, stupidity is.

Anet, seriously take a poll, realize how this is a mistake. If you alter these things a huge core group of players will just peace on out. Give us the money back for the expansion because if this is how you’ll be treating so many of your players (oceanic/sea) then I don’t want to bother doing business with you any longer.
fsp had about 200 people in queue this reset…

The pool tells everything… http://strawpoll.me/5736600/r . I think that only anet team vote for satuday option

If ANET’s team was that big 150+ then maybe we could get some real WvW changes with substance.
Given that ANET believes they have a legitimate solid reason for wanting reset time to be something other than Friday maybe a different poll is in order. I don’t have a problem with reset as it is but if it can’t be that, then what is the “best” time and how are they suppose to go about figuring that out in a 24/7 game with players from all over the world? Obviously whatever this method is isn’t going so well right now.

Ye, but u know, putting it at 12:00 satuday is reaaaaaaaaly bad idea and making maybe 10% of current players able to play. Why? Job, school, house stuff, shopping, familly, basicially social and real life. It was fine with current system so WHy are they changing it? To lower lags during reset and be able to put patch during 20 cest eu time( cos ofcourse they couldn’t put patch 30 mins before reset ). Idk how big anet team is, but I guess it isn;t 20 ppl or so, just look at their office and try to calculate how many ppl is needed( for example Witcher 3 which is single player had 150+ so…)

And then makes 5 more posts on the subject in an hour. The PvF is weak in this one.
Hard to PvF here since I always get points added onto my account.. Least I don’t really care what day reset is seeing as its just another day.. Funny that so many claim they will not play anymore since this change.. LOL grow up people.
If I made 5 more posts its because what I read was so hilarious and I just couldn’t keep quiet.. People acting like its the end of the world. Do you know why we get barely no changes to this game mode? Everyone rages over tiny changes.
(edited by briggah.7910)
I can’t really say anything more that hasn’t already been said but I just wanted to weigh in here and say that for myself and my guild Friday night Reset is about being social, the one time of the week when the most amount of guildies are on, may or may not involve some drinking and general “Work Week is over” stress relief.
Nobody will be doing that at 11am on a Saturday.

If you don’t care when reset is which is the dominant topic driving this thread, then why are you posting on this thread, are you just here to insult and ridicule people which seems to be your intent going by your other posts? Do you find this to be anymore productive then what you personally don’t find tasteful in other peoples posts?

Hello All,
There are a couple of reasons for the change to reset time. One is for the overall quality of the game. The last few years we have been careful to not disrupt the WvW reset time but this has at times made it difficult for our team to address issues during reset day. This change will give our team an extra day of the week that they can use to respond to issues that may occur with WvW or any other area of the game if it is necessary. In the early days we wanted reset to be during a weekday to ensure we had people available to monitor the game at reset time, but at this point we have seen the ongoing stability of World vs. World and resetting on a weekday is no longer necessary.
Another reason is the emergent gameplay that has come from reset. It has become one of the most exciting times for WvW and we would really love for more players to have the opportunity to experience it. We have many more players logging in on Saturday than on Friday which means with this change many more people will be available to experience the rush of claiming objectives for their world during reset.
However, given the concerns posted here we will be moving the Saturday reset to earlier in the day to give most players the majority of the day to enjoy the start of the new match. Immediately after launch the new time will be 11am PDT / 2pm EDT (6 pm UTC) for NA and 11am BST / 12 pm CEST (10 am UTC) for EU. Keep in mind that the following week with the end of Daylight Savings Time / Summer Time the reset times will be pushed even earlier to 10am PST/ 1pm EST and 10am GMT / 11am CET.
Thank you for your feedback. We realize that no time we pick is going to work for everyone but this change is going to benefit even more players overall while at the same time giving us a little more breathing room to improve the quality of the game during the week.
Thanks,
John
Thanks for the response. However, I am not sure if putting it in the morning is a good idea; I sort of think it’s worse than Saturday evening, ankitten ot sure how reading the concerns in the thread before your post could have led to that conclusion.
I am guessing this was based off the concerns that Saturday morning would be a Ktrain but there might be other issues; if your metrics do show high activity in this time slot though, then I have nothing much else to say.
for there you have been and there you will long to return.
Hello All,
There are a couple of reasons for the change to reset time. One is for the overall quality of the game. …
Take this from someone who LOVES this game and is an MMO consumer for the last 17 years (UO vet). The game engine is outstanding in a world of WoW wannabes, and I truly commend everyone at Anet for their work.
I love reset night and you just killed it. Your customers play on the weekends, and your release cycle and work schedule should align. If you want to develop software for the Mon-Fri 9-5 crowd, go work at Oracle. If you want to make games – LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS and KNOW THEIR LIKES.
I very rarely come in here to post, but I felt a distinct need due to this topic. While I applaud the intent of moving WvW reset day and time, this entire idea is terrible for several reasons. Firstly, the new time coincides with when most people are out doing things with their families. Even I, a notable no-lifer, have chores and errands and the like that I have to do at 2pm EDT on a Saturday. As such, there is no conceivable way for me to be on then, and I know of quite a few people in the exact same boat. Secondly, the time ruins something that I have termed the “Reset Night Extravaganza”. Reset for WvW has always been a huge thing in my guild and for my entire server. We all get together, shoot the kitten, and get ready as a group for reset. It is one of the few times that the entire active portion of my guild is able to get on and play together in WvW. Moving it to a Saturday, and especially to a time that is still morning for many west coast players, would ruin that entire event. Thirdly, directly tied into this event feeling, many people that I know set their work schedules around having reset and the hours after off, and with the way many employers are trying to do schedules, it will be quite difficult for them to get the new day off, let alone that time. Anet, I implore you, PLEASE reconsider moving the reset day and time.

So you want more players to experience it but then you make it even harder for ocx and sea players to do reset. This does not compute and makes us feel like we don;t matter.
And sorry but in T1 NA there are more queues on reset now than there are on the next day so that statement about more players logging on on Saturday sounds slightly disingenuous.
However I can appreciate the fact that current reset time makes it difficult to patch the game.

Here’s what the Heart of Thorns release will look like for WvW:
The new round will run until the new reset times on Saturday, then end and update Glicko ratings. After it comes up again, WvW will be running as “normal” except for the changed reset times and the new Desert Borderlands.
Does this mean that they’re actually going to adjust glicko ratings based on a matchup that lasts only one day and where most people will be playing the new PvE content?

We all get together, shoot the kitten, and get ready as a group for reset.
Yes, a friday night without sacrificing kittens wouldnt be the same.
I don’t mind having reset on Saturday, I really don’t. But I DO mind having it during morning or even afternoon. If I’m not busy with some errands, I treat Saturday as the only day when I can actually sleep longer. Even if I wake up early, I’d be in no condition to properly play and since I belong to fighting server, I need full focus.
Personally, I’d leave the reset on Friday. But if you REALLY need to change it on Saturday, move it to evening.
Dear Anet,
Perhaps directly addressing the way WvW tiers and map caps are set up, would alleviate the majority of complaints your WvW player base have griped about for 3 years.
Perhaps asking your WvW player base their opinion about reset times, even through a poll with 3 choices, would alleviate the majority of complaints posted here.
You may feel WvW is a ‘small portion’ of your game and, “no one exclusively plays WvW” Sorry Reyana you’re the ‘exception’: but as shown in these forums, perhaps you should reconsider your P.O.V. on that. WvW has a loyal and dedicated base, those customers would appreciate some love and attention and I’m guessing would be happy to pay for dedicated WvW goodies in order to support your company.
Just such a shame.

change reset time is a joke ! :p
When will Anet learn to not shoot themselfs in the leg?? GG Anet
can we have golem week again? also include arrow cart buffs for the most exciting wvw experience up to date
So, a couple new points. I kinda skimmed the last couple pages as it was all turning into the same thing.
On BG, we have a very large NA population. I know the same is true for the other T1 guilds. We purposefully have some guilds NOT play reset. This is to alleviate que times. Instead, there are a couple guilds that just play on Saturday. With this new change, all guilds will be playing Satureday night, making que times longer. I know this is not as much of a concern for lower tier servers, but if their populations increase, which they should, then this will be a problem there as well.
Whichever NA server has EU guilds will be at a huge advantage. These new reset times cater to the EU population. I know most NA servers have issues with low EU presence. On BG, we don’t have any EU guilds. We do have a small EU population though (sorry RK). But this won’t compare to actually having a decent sized EU guild. With the mechanics of the new map, this is a major concern. I don’t know of any NA guild that is going to be up and organized at 10 /11 AM. Therefore, whichever server has an EU guild will cap everything. With automatic upgrades, by the time NA starts getting formed up, the other servers will be facing fully upgraded maps. At current scroing system, they could easily get a 20K point advantage before the other servers get their NA organized. Avoiding this scenario is the exact reason to have reset during prime time: so everything is even.
Another thing I haven’t seen discussed: There will be a power creep between guilds across servers. Whichever guild gets organized earliest wins. Again, this is due to the auto-upgrades. This will force competing guilds to match or get on earlier than the others. I feel this will result in resentment towards the game, and Anet for forcing them to organize earlier and earlier. Eventually, people are just going to throw their hands in the air and quit. No one is going to want to form up at 10 AM on a Saturday.
Nobody will be doing that at 11am on a Saturday.
Speak for yourself. tyvm
Do you honestly think we’re going to get 20-30 people or so ready to roll and spam the gate in LA at 11/10 AM Saturday? Please. Be realistic. Maybe you’ll be there, but not organized guilds.
Nobody will be doing that at 11am on a Saturday.

I will be there ! – I LOVE the new NA Times !
It actually fits nicely with my schedule for the first time in years. I’m actually going to have the fun of being able to talk during a reset match.
I hate this change more than anything Arenanet has done to the game since I’ve started playing. Changing it to saturday I was alright with; changing it to the afternoon was a horrible decision. We don’t want to play all saturday; we want to have reset at a time where our guilds can have everybody together. I really don’t think Arenanet understands why we as WvWers enjoy reset. Please leave reset the way it is, or at least at the same time it is. It really makes no sense to me. We want to be able to populate reset immediately not come home to whatever server has better EU coverage already dominating the matchup.
Lol what a joke. Reset = 5am Sunday for OCX players and 2-3am Sunday for SEA players. Great job now 2 entire timezones probably won’t be able to play reset in addition to losing half the weekend of competitive WvW.
Double the eff you to SEA/OCX players.
Don’t worry, most NA people won’t bother playing at reset either since it’s in the morning/middle of the day and you know, maybe, people have things to do during daylight hours. Evenings are when people generally head to their computers or TVs to relax, that’s why Friday evening was a great reset time (for OCX/SEA too). This change in day/time is a joke.

Yeah, tonight is being hailed as the “Final Reset.” At least until Anet realizes that their main WvW demographic does NOT consist of little kids who are free to play every Saturday afternoon, but mostly adults who actually work weekends. NA prime time is, and always has been, between 7pm and 12am. This is a tremendous blunder in my opinion.
Either way, it’s for sure my last one if the reset time does change. Even IF I didn’t literally work the entire weekend, there’d be no way I’d awake early to make it. Honestly, if this is the kind of attention we get when Anet actually decides to turn its eyes toward WvW, I’d much rather we remained ignored entirely.
Commander to [SLVR], Housepet to [GH]
Constructive feedback: have more resets so more people can experience reset rush. Also have reset on Fridays, give Anet employees Fridays off and have that extra work day on Sunday. I think those suggestions adequately line up with Anet’s statements.

Gee… another decision showing how completely out of touch you are with the wvw player base.
Reset weekends are the only time OCX/SEA players with normal Mon-Fri lives have the chance to play fun, competitive wvw with our NA/EU friends. And now you’ve made it even worse by forcing us to wake up at 4am/2am for that? Thanks for killing off what little OCX/SEA population is left.
This might be not bad for some of the northern areas in winter , however come summer time , in the nice weather , who is going to play a video game on Saturday morning/afternoon, when the weather is beautiful.
Low pop servers are already about done, so maybe this once again caters to the T1 servers, and not to any one else. Whatever anet has made it clear that they do not really care for the wvw game mode. If you are not happy with the changes and have posted your opinion here that is all we can do right ?
No, we can stop playing wvw. I here there is contests and actual rewards in pvp, lets go do that
This doesn’t cater to anyone, that’s why everyone is griping about it. It inconveniences T1 players as much as it does T8. Actually more, since there are far more T1 players than T8.
If this is part of a series of changes that would synergise to make the reset make sense (i.e. points for objectives increase as the week goes on, making gameplay later in the week more important and ultimately thus providing more dramatic finishes), then the Saturday evening reset makes sense, but Saturday morning seems… mindbogglingly crap for people who already spend most of the time trying to mitigate nightcaps.
Welp anet cares more about pve bug fixes then an entire gamemode, we are not going to get Friday back because they want it for patching. They keep slapping the WvW community around for years on end and wonder why PvE player numbers are so much higher then WvW. (Also something about forcing us to PvE to afford food, siege,ascended armor and other things)

Unpopular opinion: It’s 2-3 hours of the week; I’m actually fine with it. If my guild doesn’t rally, I’ll follow along with a different guild and then rally as normal in the evening. Carry on as normal.
Hmmm interesting. Saturday, lunch time is a time on my server when there is very little activity. Forget raiding with my guild, which ya know, Guild Wars, I may not be able to find any kind of organized activity to mess around with.
This is a really stupid idea you’re going to lose players since most people won’t bother doing a reset that lands in the middle of a weekend. Who’s bright idea was that?
“Sir, after three years of ignoring them and luring AP hunters into their gamemode, the WvW community still hasn’t died down!”
“But… we gave them the Stability change, how are they even still playing? I mean, they crash at least every two hours and have massive queues on their map, how is that possible?”
“We don’t know, sir. What should we do?”
“… do it.”
“No.. you can’t… this is.. are you sure?”
“UNLEASH THE PVE BORDERLANDS!”
….
….
….“They are not happy with the new borderlands and the EBG changes, but they still seem to hang on to WvW!”
“But the verticality! The dinosaurs! The mechanics that kitten on everything WvW! How can this be?! We even denied the existence of WvW players!”
“If I may… There is still one thing”
“What is it?”
“Reset. They still have the reset to be excited for.”
“…ruin it. Now.”
“With your permission we’d change it to saturday. This would double the queue. With this, we could also rub salt in the “this gives us more time to look into WvW problems”wound"
“You can do better.”
“Let’s change it to noon for EU players then, no drunk reset and they will be disconnected when leaving for lunch, facing at least a queue of 100 when they come back.”
“Good. Come back when you’re done, we need to talk about your promotion.”
Perfectly said.
Anet I request that you guys make reset on Monday at midnight est. That will for sure get people to play resets. All those pst guilds will log in for reset and pvd making it the most interesting and fun resets ever, don’t you think anet? cause I think its the greatest idea. Almost as great as the new change to reset.
One is for the overall quality of the game. The last few years we have been careful to not disrupt the WvW reset time but this has at times made it difficult for our team to address issues during reset day. This change will give our team an extra day of the week that they can use to respond to issues that may occur with WvW or any other area of the game if it is necessary.
Translation:
Screw the WvW community, we want things to be more convenient for us.
Another reason is the emergent gameplay that has come from reset. It has become one of the most exciting times for WvW and we would really love for more players to have the opportunity to experience it. We have many more players logging in on Saturday than on Friday which means with this change many more people will be available to experience the rush of claiming objectives for their world during reset.
Translation:
We don’t really play WvW and we don’t have any understanding of what actually goes on at reset and over the weekend in WvW so we are going to go by our metrics that show more people logged into the game on Saturday. Since we lack foresight, we are going cluelessly scratch our heads after this change when the amount of people playing in WvW on Saturday drastically drops.
However, given the concerns posted here we will be moving the Saturday reset to earlier in the day to give most players the majority of the day to enjoy the start of the new match. Immediately after launch the new time will be 11am PDT / 2pm EDT (6 pm UTC) for NA and 11am BST / 12 pm CEST (10 am UTC) for EU. Keep in mind that the following week with the end of Daylight Savings Time / Summer Time the reset times will be pushed even earlier to 10am PST/ 1pm EST and 10am GMT / 11am CET.
Translation:
We heard your whining and to shut you up, we are going to make a lame attempt to compromise. Unfortunately we don’t have a clue about WvW, so our compromise is blowing up in our face because it is actually far worse overall.
Thank you for your feedback. We realize that no time we pick is going to work for everyone but this change is going to benefit even more players overall while at the same time giving us a little more breathing room to improve the quality of the game during the week.
Thanks for crying about this, but we really don’t give a crap because this is more convenient for us. Sorry that you still haven’t figured out that we don’t care about the WvW community, but maybe a direct “kitten you” like this will get the point across.
+1
Also, Why the kitten did I buy HoT… Definately would not have if I new of this reset change..
You screwed yourself by not reading HoT requirements. You don’t need it to play the new WvW.

I have NEVER seen a company try to kill a game harder than what ANET does to GW2. People in ANET that made this decision, have you ever joined wvw on a Thursday (for NA)? It is deader than dead. Nobody takes wvw seriously the last day of the week because 90% of the time the match is decided by Wednesday. By changing the reset time you have completely kittened over the players that have stuck with this game for over the past two years, because we come week after week, and play this game. We the players come to reset on our Friday and Saturday nights because it is what we have done for the all of this time. WHY!?! would you change what has actually kept the only decent thing of this game?
You never cease to amaze me ANET, you should be thankful that this game has a decent community that makes this game fun and to pick up the slack from your mistakes….

All i can say is RIP WvW
Moving reset to Saturday? Who came up with that STUPID idea? Are you wanting to have this game close?

“Sir, there are tons of hate towards us at forum! They even made a pool(http://strawpoll.me/5736600/r) and the results for friday option are raising!”
“Tell all our staff to vote for saturday and pretend that we don’t see the waves of hate. Also don’t forget to ban those that are against us!”
It looks like this will be the last reset raid for OCX/SEA people in NA guilds.
We used to make an effort to wake up early to raid with our NA friends on the weekend but I guess we cannot do that anymore. (2am ? Wow)
Please reconsider this, Anet.
Perpetually in the mists
Ok. I haven’t posted in a while, because I have appreciated most of the changes. Most were fairly well thought out… however, this announcement MADE me make a post.
Reset is what the majority of WvW’ers live for. It’s about showing up as a guild and having fun together, win or lose. It’s like a weekly party for us. It’s also when most of us are off work for the week and looking to unwind with our friends. WvW is not always about the points. This time swap will utterly destroy that environment.
Second, you’re putting reset well out of the time zone for a large portion of both EU and NA, we are getting a raw deal. I was all for the Saturday, but please keep it in NA afternoon or evening.
Normally I’m alright with changes ankitten ot one to complain a whole bunch…but changing the WvW reset time to the morning on Saturday screws over a huge majority of the WvW community. Even later in the day would be better, but so early in the day will screw up reset and completely redefine WvW reset for everyone. Please reconsider this decision, Anet.
