Guild Wars 2

Well.. I don’t know about you, but WvW to me is worthless now. Since we went to a 1 week long battle.. soon to be 2 week long, it is just worthless. The pairings are utterly ridiculous. There is always at least one server of the 3 that captures most, if not everything in the first 2 days which leaves the other two twiddling their thumbs. If you try to mount some sort of counter-attack.. it is die – damaged armor – die – damaged armor – die – damaged armor (spend spend spend) to repair.. Not Worth it.
If there are any changes at all to be made to WvW, I would suggest. 1) reduce or remove equipment repair costs in WvW and 2) go back to shorter battle lengths.
WvW is novel at the moment, but the trend is going to be down.. less and less participation. I guess the amount of server transfers will increase so ArenaNet will be happy with the extra income, but eventually there will be no where to transfer to.
The ole’ GvG days were actually pretty fun, and amazingly – you could actually wind up being in the top rankings for a while each time the rankings reset. Made it at least fun for a bit. Nothing fun now. If you dominate the first few days and capture the majority of the 4 battle grounds.. then you are bored the rest of the week. If you get owned the first few days, then you are locked out pretty much the rest of the week.
Hope you have lots of gold – it will cost you.

I read the entire thing and at the end I finally found out he was repeating himself, nice one xD

Although, seeing how you die oh so much maybe you should save your gold for new gear, since you seem pretty easy to kill and yes, I have 37 gold, thank you very much for caring <3

When being spawn camped, you do take the back exits out of your camps right? I can’t tell you how many people run straight out of spawn into an enemy zerg. Doesn’t work that way. Take back supply camps and start building up that way. We managed to take back about 1/3 of an all blue borderland last night by using these tactics. It’s a long process, but very very possible.

I’m guessing you’ve been unlucky in your match ups. The first week of the week long match ups my server got steam rolled. One server held almost everything. I still got a decent amount of money out of it though when I went in. A small party of my guild mates would just run around the map capping supply camps. When the other server controlled everything they would spawn camp us. My group would sneak around them and then go off on our capping supply route. While many people from our server would run into the enemy zerge and get killed while gaining nothing. That would be the gold sink.

Last week and this week our server was given a more even match up. We push them and get pushed back and keeps and such constantly changes hands. No one server is dominating anyone and it’s all pretty fun.

Yesterday I went into a borderland with 22 copper and left with over 1 gold even though I bought siege equipment, upgraded things and repaired… a lot.

That is a snide and disrespectful response. You have no idea what class I am nor what server I am on nor who we battle against.. Glad you have so much gold. How much did you buy from the farmers?

Maybe next time your response will be constructive and not condescending.

So you reply with an equally condescending post about gold buying?

Pot, meet kettle.

Anyway two things.

1. Your comment doesn’t even make any sense, it’s not actually that hard to make 37 gold with just a little bit of effort

and

2. It’s only been a month, man! While things definitely aren’t equal yet I’d be willing to bet a lot of money that things will stabilise over time. Just be patient. I know some of the matches right now are completely out of whack, but it’s not going to be ruined for ever, just wait it out.

Oh, and as an after thought, WvW isn’t even that much of a gold sink. If you’re playing it correctly you should be making money, not losing it. Even on my bad days I come out with 10s more than I entered with, and that’s only after a couple of hours, on a bad day, against a server that wins slightly during the day and then dominates at night.

There are definitely things that could be improved with WvW, but the matchups are something you’ll just have to wait out.

As a person with about 20 gold on my main, and is usually broke in almost any other game I play; It’s not hard to make money in this game. But yeah that post was kinda disrespectful.. True but still disrespectful.

Well with so few matches being interesting at all a 2 week match is completely pointless. I can’t imagine get doored in the 1st 48 then having no reason to play for 12 days

Would have to say that I do not find it a gold sink at all though. I gained almost 4g this weekend and I died quite a bit

Stop dying so much, man.

WvW is far from dying, as evident from the battleground queues.

You may not like it, and many like you may not like it, but more still enjoy it a lot and don’t take it too personally that there’re always queues during peak hours.

I bet if they removed the repair costs and instead made waypoints cost something then less people would complain although nothing really changes.

Chuloos needs to come check out the Whiteside Ridge fight this week. It is extremely close.

agree. Any server with a large oceanic presence will pwn servers without.

Whawha wha I got owned, fix plz Anet.
