Guild Wars 2

Bring in clipping!!!!

I know people will abuse clipping if the bounding box is the size of the player. So I suggest a small sphere in the middle of each player.
That way people can still jump over and around each other, but not stack right on top of each other unless it’s an Asura under a Charr or Norn. You could even then run over the spot where someone was lying down.

I personally love games where there is real clipping. I’m not asking for that however as they usually require some more careful level design to avoid players from getting stuck or walling off an area with their characters to grief something. However my suggestion of a small sphere would stop the walling-off problem, and address stacking.

Not only that, it would solve the Mesmer portal problem in one easy swipe too. The devs wouldn’t have to change the limit to avoid 40+ people portal bombing as players would have to go through in bunches as they squeezed into the circle as others ported though. Also with the portal time limit not everyone might get through if they are not organized enough.

Hopefully with a sphere with a small enough polycount it wouldn’t slow the game down too much as it resolved some more physics.

What is being described is clearly not what is happening. I have a ridiculous machine and I have never had any of the culling problems many people have been mentioning for weeks in WvWvW. I see half way across the map and see the zergs coming before most other people. I also never have people become invisible due to culling in big fights. An invisible zerg landing on top of me is usually a Messmer portal I didn’t notice until too late or ‘cause I had my camera stuck too close to me. I’ve even heard people complain in WvWvW it was an invisible zerg that hit them when I saw the portal after. So many people are crying wolf on this one.

However in Lion’s Arch that’s another matter for some reason, where either NPC’s or players will load before the other, but that’s a separate issue.

If it was simply a case of the thieves not drawing for the 3 seconds that they come out of stealth in WvWvW, then why can you not tab target them?

You can still tab target when a game does not display a character on the screen otherwise.

Seems to me that either there is a way to perma stealth even through damage, or some exploit is being used. I’ve used ‘Barrage’ as a Ranger on Thieves many times and seen damage numbers above invisible players without them coming out of stealth.

Also when you pop-off your stun when you are downed some thieves (but not all) stay stealthed and still spike you. So if they all are not doing this, it would indicate some or many know how to exploit this and some do not.

Those are my observations, make of them what you will.

Same problem, In quest ‘On Red Alert’ for the Priory. The gem was missing from the ring.

Really sucks when you spend a couple minutes deciding which ring you want based on the stats of the gem.

Also have this problem today. Today is the first day I’ve really focused on WvW. I had 30 badges in 67 kills before today. I now have 189 kills and 37 badges total…that can’t be right. That’s 122 kills today and 7 badges.

I also loot like mad and get lots of crap gear drops, so it’s not that I’m just not looting.

That’s such a load of rubbish that their is no alliance. I watched last night as two groups one ET and one IoJ split when heading towards godsword. They could have fought each other they were like 20 and 20 people. They both choose to run after smaller CD groups in different directions. I’m not posting these things from a bubble I watched it literally happening.

Also as of the 28th ET was 4th ranked and CD was 6th. There was a massive exodus to ET because ET was high pop at the time and CD was full 24/7. Yesterday the servers got an expansion on population limits in some hope by the devs to work things out. It was too late.

It is not just that CD is disorganized, which it is now, no one will deny that. It is in the WvWvW we are harshly out numbered and that hurts moral.

You have two groups having fun that don’t want to log off due to the fact they are having fun and one that rage quits because they are constantly getting wiped.

The rewards should be scaler in BOTH directions or people will always transfer to the sever with better rewards.

It has nothign to do with needing a night crew. We are at 0-5% all day long.

We also are not going to retake anything. ET and IoJ have some alliance to farm us. They don’t even attack each other. They hold each others stuff as a show of trust and then just fight us for our stuff, they won’t even attack each other in the open. If it wasn’t for the NPCs they wouldn’t even attack anything that wasn’t red.

I actually transferred from ET to CD today to play with friends who rolled on CD. Tried to convince them to come to ET yesterday when almost all the severs were full but ET.

There were too many people to convince to join ET so I moved to CD to my chagrin.

However today it is just demoralizing. ET has 75% of the map, and CD has 5% with IoJ having 20%.

My passive world buffs are less than half what they were, and it seems like CD has just given up, with the majority of folks hanging in the AH.

Crystal Desert folks you should be embarrassed and stop being babies and go do the work required to get things back in order.

And to those blaming a-net for the imbalance that makes so little sense. You can’t blame A-net for lemming like behaviour and band wagon jumpers.

Either CD has to get their sh-t wired or I’m going to never play WvW. I had planned to lvl the whole game in WvW but that’s impossible when there is no one around to help.

If A-net wants to get people to balance it out they may need to offer some “you suck” reward system for the weakest sever so then people won’t feel the need to jump ship. I think that is a sad solution however and would prefer people stop their kittening an moaning and do something instead of afking in Lion’s.
