Guild Wars 2

I would like to know what parts you liked and what parts you did not like, this way we can help the devs understand what we want and don’t want.

So i do like every thing they did to the map itself, it looks good as all other maps in gw2 does! When it comes to the bloodlust buff it’s very unfair because the servers with most coverage gets the buff making a huge balance gap.

Edit: Now this thread got way to much posts for me to count but i have read through most of it and i can clearly see that most of us really like the map changes but hate the orb buff returning.

also many of us are suggesting that anet should move the buff over to the outmanned buff for better balance.

I didn’t know what to think of the Bloodlust content. Now that I’ve tried it… meh~ Don’t like it at all. Nice try revamping WvW though, Anet, but I don’t think the idea worked out.

+1 No.

Too early to tell. I’ll need to see how it plays out over a few weeks.

Too early to tell.

Yes – 0
No – 2
Too early to tell – 2

Yes to the new land, more places to fight
No to the buff, its kittened and way better to replace with the Outnumbered buff ( yes we need more magic find when they have 3x more people..)

NO
No
NO
No

Yes. I like it quite a bit. Thank you.

Yes it is very fun

get the buffs away make it exp orsomething but not stat
NO!!

Do you guys not understand how a rolling tally works?

Let me pick up the ball again:
Yes – 2
No – 5
Too early – 2

Now everyone who posts, include the updated total. That way, anyone can look at the last post and see a total up to this point, and not need to read every individual post.

Edit: updated to include kynzof

Yes. I haven’t tried it yet, but voting yes is the best I can do besides replying with “wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” to all of the redundant threads posted in the past hour.

NONONONONONONONONONONONO

Really i do not.
Do not play WvW until they remove this kitten please

Buff to points for server would have been enough, the stat increase is kittened.

These forums are so tremendously thick I am surprised that ANet bothers to read them at all.

I definitely do not….

NO

Ruins and capture are a lot of fun, but I don’t think you’d ever need the bloodlust stat to motivate players to use it. This does a lot to break up the blob, and I think simple ppt gain (heck even no ppt gain) would have been motivation enough to control the points. I’d still recommend getting rid of the stat boost.

No. Please bring back my quaggans.

I have to say that the new borderland maps are gorgeous. I really like the diversity in the ruins. Good job ANET. I even think it is nice to give the roamers a bit more to do. There is one HUUUUUGE problem for me though.
This would be the buff. It’s gonna benefit the people with the higher coverage at the time. Also and thats what bothers me the most, it prevents fair duels and gvg’s. So it would be nice to have a turn off feature or a neutral place where it doesnt apply (EB JP?). These duels and gvg’s were a core feature of wvw and i think it would be a pity if it were lost.

-1 No.

Adding BL bloodlust statu buffs and points from stomping was bad.

Instead of deletion of the lake, we should have gotten an underwater fortress. Imagine siege free fortress, you can defend and attack, underwater tunnels. Part of the underwater fortress above water. That is how I would have redesigned the lake.

no, its benefitial to zergplay

also, the stat buffs is the most kitten backwards WvW mechanic design i’ve ever seen in my life, and I tell you this as a release-day WAR:AoR player…

it was obviously meant to foster small party figthing, yet its those the ones it screws over the most

if you lose you dont want to come back for more, because not only you are disadvantaged in terms of stats, but also risk giving your foes free points

if you win the fight, you’ll find its your foes the ones not showing up, for the above reasons. so you basically won your right……to not fight anymore?

the entire mechanic is self-defeating and uttery idiotic. what kind of moron thought it?

Yes – 3
No – 13
Too early – 2

yes…….yes yes

Hell No! this is a joke. sPvP should stay in Shift+B, not in the middle of my Borderlands

Yes-4
No-14
Too early – 2
Worst patch so far – 1

Just a reminder, if you don’t like the new WvW. Take a break from it. Anet will not change it unless they see a decline in numbers in WvW.

Well it killed our server I think? We outnumber our oponents by far and they do not even stand a chance now :/

The best content so far.. the updated WvW looks amazing , and seems to run better atleast for me <3 kudos guys

No

and no to sPvP WvW content…!

NO! Way to kill WvW communities properly Anet. This patch probably destroyed every hard core wvw players dreams for better future in this game. Question, when will u start listening to the players?

Haven’t even gotten home from work yet!

I didn’t see a single person in map chat saying they didn’t like the map changes.

This thread is a perfect demonstration of how the forums only represents a small minority of the playerbase, who will complain about anything.

No it does not.
Complaining no where else but forum will change nothing. The only thing to get things changed is to complain on actual places where arenanet can see the complains.

I like the new map area not sure about the buff just yet.

To early – for Stat bonus
Yes – New map area

if anything, your post is a perfect demonstration of how internet anonymity fosters all kinds of unproven, outrageous claims.

I can just as well claim “I have chars in 8 different servers, both US and EU. in each and every of them this patch was universally panned across the board, in all maps, for hours on end”

see how it works?

bring screenshots/videos, get all that people to post here… then you will have something other than a bold statement

Yes.

New WvW map area is awesome. I mostly only play WvW & I like everything you are doing to improve the experience. Bravo. Thanks for a job well done.

Yes.

Today’s obligatory forum postings make it even sweeter!

You’re on TC, of course your people like the buff. I saw several people saying they didn’t like the new changes. I can give anecdotal evidence, too.

Anecdotal evidence is what I find most amusing about all of it.

I like the new areas, much better than the lake. But the buffs, no thanks. Give them to the outnumbered ones struggling against our higher populated one.

kitten no, this patch was/is beyond terrible. The orb buffs were taken out for a reason, now its even more ridiculous since theyre near impossible to defend.

Orbs were removed for their ability to get hacked, not because anyone at ANet ever agreed with moaning about their buffs.

No. Bloodlust is pretty stupid and is more likely to drive people away from WvW than get players interested in playing it.

No, the stat bonus has to go. You do not even get a stat bonus when you are outnumbered wtf?

Too early… but stat bonus favoring the most populous side seems like a bad idea. Old case of making the winners “winn-ier”, does nothing but make it more uphill for the losing sides and more likely to just give up.

Best way to do this would make the bonus relative to how well the server is doing already in points. ie winner gets nothing but denies the others, mid gets mid bonus, last place gets full bloodlust for holding.

We need to split the poll because its just about worthless as feedback right now.

Hell no ! WvW is a no go for me t’ill they balance everything. new update has killed several servers. it’s all about numbers…

So :

No

No

this makes me even think about stop playing Gw2

It really needs to be split up this poll just lumped everything into one.

Stay at work it’s gonna be terribad for you guys too. The higher pop servers in the matchup love it cause they feel like gods when their stats are inflated., us on the other end not so much. CD is zergling us down in the areas just to keep the stats up and they have coverage everywhere I go. Try killing a cond regen warrior buffed 3 stacks now….

Outnumbered buff does not provide stats, so why would the basically Overnumbered buff give stats?

Joke content for what is becoming more and more of a joke game. 3/5 ruins have easy access to water meaning actually killing anyone is still just as hard as it was before, except now people have even more of an incentive to go there. Why anet thinks that underwater combat is a fun and balanced aspect of pvp is beyond me. The buffs giving a potential +150 to all stats just means that matchups that are already unbalanced just became infinitely more unbalanced. The argument cant even be made anymore to just play the week for the fights when you are at a massive disadvantage to your enemies because of this buff.

GG anet, keep delaying stuff that matters to release more useless and broken content.
