Guild Wars 2

Gliding has defiantly made the DBL a more fun map to play on. Esp fun when you jump off a really high place, think you own it and then find out very quickly you don’t and end up a pancake.
Sure there would have been more love for this map if gliding had been allowed from the start.

R as you fully well know is for kitten

Thanks that cleared it right up…

See even the forum doesn’t like it

R as you fully well know is for kitten

Come on guys its 2017, and we are trying to get women gaming aren’t we? So is is the R word still used in WvW? I don’t see how it has a place in GW2 in 2017. Its not used often but its still about, please can it just go?

Thanks
A moo

Is all this moving a large enough vol of gold to gem exchanges to effect the price?

I would just like news of the people from HoT like Zojja and the pale tree (if shes so sick how is it effecting the sylvari’s births?) . Even if its just a mail saying they are ok. After all the hype about Rytlock in the trailiers his story could have moved on more.
I don’t think they can handle more characters we need some movement on what is already there not making it more complex.

Nope. This person had a comm tag on too when he was building loads of flame rams in the eb keep and running down all the sups.

Anyone he didn’t care about the spamming. Does anyone? Why are ppl so sad as to do this? Can’t people just win by playing and no ‘cheating’?

Two faced lords just side with anyone that shows up. Cannot trust them

Where do we report siege spammers? The report options are very limited.

Yes i checked on gw2timer and it said it was 4 mins away I tried before and after the time too. I will try again then.

So if you double click it and u get like a spark but no red clouds or minis what does it mean? I tried going to 4 different maps to test it. I am sure it worked ok b4.

We need an excuse to avoid the dbl?

Hi I am a ‘guest’ server person. Surely the problem with merging will be that people will once again move about? At least with linking we get a different roll each link and if its not that great you erm pve for a bit. If they merge also surely we will get staleness again?
I would rather that the names of the servers changed to a 2 or 3 letter code and that way we can have gh + uw rather than just one servers name.

Snap. Was hoping for balance not blobs. Not sure t9 needs 4 bits of land to play on. But q’s def not good. You cannot just nip on and play cos it takes soo long to get to eb. FSP lot seem ok but their playstyle is just so diff to ours. Plus we are few in their many so just feels no point. Your forced to play on the bl and it takes so long to find a group to play with most the time then they have been killed and are back at the spawn point anyhow.
So often FSP seem to have closed raid groups and ask you to not follow the comm – something not come across before.
Think there must be some way to accommodate people who like zergs and people who like smaller scale fights. Never seeing ur server name come up to capture things or when you go into the map is kinda sad. They might as well have called us blue, green and red cos that is what we are now.

I don’t think the new BL are good for new players. Even if you have played the map a lot it still can be difficult to navigate. I dunno how new players manage it. Because its so convoluted its hard to explain where you are and how to get there. I think this is very user unfriendly and makes it hard to get new people in.

I got into WvW from map completion. I still remember the weeks to get that last vista in the red keep it was a total pain. Forcing people into a mode they do not like tho just sucks. Like with the badges of honour people need. Its cool if its armour or skins or tokens for runes/sigils (many pve maps have that) that is not something people have to have. Its not fun for anyone forcing them into a mode they are not interested in, maybe some will get into the mode but others wont. Its meant to be a game ans fun after all.

Yes the server hopping and guild shedding is a PIA. There should be something for those of us who have been loyal and tried to keep a server going. The fewer people there are on a server the harder u have to work and more hours to put in cos there are less of you. Its very demoralising.

in Sm it used to be that when the lord was under attack you could see the lords health bar. Now you cannot. When we were defending last nite against a larger group because the group was so large and it was laggy I was unable to tell the health of the Lord. Has this been removed? If so, why?

TBH I hoped their fix was to remove it.

Bit unfair to add it to WvW because people would have an advantage. They already kinda do with the new armours and specialisations.

All the time they must have taken to add it to old Tyria maps I just feel that love could have been spent on WvW

Won’t the higher pop servers win because they are higher pop?

Its Sat afternoon at 14:45 local time and I am on eb with one other person its just crazy. Waste of a good sat afternoon play time

Siege disablers work through doors again now too. Doesn’t work on the rev though ;p Lazy lazy gamers playing the easy and OP class.

Well for smaller pops it was not a fix. The WP at least allowed us to rez/get in when a large group made door access almost impossible. -1 for the fix
They already made the new BL too much running its not a running game its a fighting game!

OK I know this is not along the line of what you can do with them but I think the amounts are way out.
1 for a soloable HP in tyria (but you have to travel a lot)
10 for HP in new area – can do alone – takes a while or easier in a group but does not need 10 (though some of the harder ones may)
9 for getting a WvW level – maybe in EotM this is easy or if your a zerg but if you are not it takes time like everything non zerg in WvW

joneirikb.7506:

Or just reduce from 3 borderlands to 1.

Heck for T8 we probably can’t fill a single map…

This system will not work as long as it doesn’t adapt itself to the players and number of players. The WvW system is to rigid, it needs to adjust itself dynamically to numbers/players.

4 Maps is just overkill for the lower tiers, I don’t think any server in T8 right now could max more than 40 players each during reset, we’re not even half-way to a queue on a single map. All that means is that whoever leads gets to own 4 maps.

Honestly it doesn’t even matter if it is Desert or Alpine maps, there is still 5-40 players from each server trying to control 4 maps.

• Remove the HOME borderland system
• Run single map for Borderland
• Rotate Alpine back in (when it’s ready and updated again)
• Run EBG +BL map
• Use the EotM system to make more instances of maps as needed

Defiantly some kinda rotating in maps would be great because if alpine would be back I bet people would move down to play in them. I also dont get why all the maps are the same again, why could one not have been snowy and one all green or something even if the layout was the same?

Some people want to be on lower pop servers and this would allow flexibility plus some times of year the pop is lower and the maps dont take that into consideration but megaservers do for the pve lot.

I have got 1/3 of my bonus chests this week (used to get them on reset nite)
Not sure the last time I have even got my dailies from WvW
Tried to catch up with a group last nite in the BL got sick of running to cliff edges (or off them). I do know some of the map but its just too much running – dunno how new people cope with it.
All the doors/walls take ages and ages to take down and thats even with several siege and in that time noone defends it
I keep asking people to move to the BL from eb but cannot get movement sometimes a guild does a run but thats about it. Ghost town

Maybe taking ages cos they are changing it to get shrines? (trying to be positive here)

+1 for your sig

Did they remove the blue party dot from the edges of the mini map when they are far away? I still see comms and hero points on the edge of the map (showing I need to scroll or zoom out) but my party members no longer seem to be there.

Why is there one for places that are not part of world completion but not one for the WvW maps?

Its not only that its nice to be competist but also its nice to know you have all the points so you can ping them in map

At level 80 where does the XP from monsters and gathering go while in WvW?

This mode was changed to PVE/PVD last week you missed the vote

The ruins and vet creature is not doable in the new maps? If it is why is it still in the mix?

Thats the pile of poo one? Bleh this is the only time I have played so little WvW, unless your in a group its just a mare. Too much PVD. I am trying to like it and telling myself its I just do not know the map but…
Please someone from Anet come and play on a low pop server and see what life is like down here.

Its much harder to care about loosing a T3 when its just happened even without you being there

Sounds good that some kinda of people action is needed – to make you care about the structures (except to go an harvest in there – was this change really needed?) It would be nice if the dollies now did something toward the upgrades, atm you can have a tower and no camps and it still goes ahead. Plus they are not as cute as the old dollies.

Did they just disappear for me?
If so WHY? this forces us into PVE
WHY???? I don’t get this at all

But it does effect the WvW score because people level there and get WvW levels and they effects the abilities. You can take less damage, take down gates/walls quicker and that effects us all. Plus also there is the supplies that you get in the citadel.

ArchonWing.9480:

This is all part of the new plan for Anet to solve all the complaints about population imbalance.

When there are coverage gaps, Anet will form their own zerg and PvDoor as needed to balance the matchup.

In all seriousness, buy a siege disabler. That’s way more effective than making a thread. Or actually fight them.

A group of cata together can bounce a disabler pretty effectively by timing the shield (number 5)

I am so happy that EU have more rotating matchup on their top tiers and no server have the same matchup month after month.

They need an emote that shows sarcasm

I was not the slightest sarcastic, NA and EU are very different and EU have different matchup which NA never do. Up to now when YB broke in it was the same mu month after month in the top tiers.

Well rarely on our tier

Wow it that bad? I did see the twitch thing and thought mmmmmm nice if you have a lot of people but a mare if you do not. Atm even checking which gate they are coming in the garri/bay/hills when you are alone can be a mare. Would be nice if when you spotted a fight u could map ping it so anyone coming onto that map could see where action is without yet another is the bay safe shout going out.

Wow things like this would be a cool idea. It would be nice to see larger pop servers have to work harder for those points and less night capping (sorry night capping that is more in proportion to the number of people doing the capping).
Also I think that the crafting points should be moved to the PvP lobby (why are they not already) and the mystic toilet as people often nip in on lower tier servers just to craft (I know I use it – hey hast to be some plus to being low pop WvW server)

Also can we have some way of knowing who claims a tower/keep atm someone can and not have bonuses or they run out and your stuck trying to work out from some generic flag.

apharma.3741:

Terrible idea. Not everyone is blessed with being on a deluxe, top of the line, all singing, all dancing, 24 hour fun time T1 server OP.

Bronze has almost no-one in it at certain times. Night cap can be achieved by 1 person and an omega or two. You can spend 30-60 mins running around without seeing a single person, enemy or friend.

People that move off it I do not blame in the slightest, I may have 2 years ago when things weren’t so bad but they’re really terrible for the last year. I don’t feel ANet should punish people for transferring more than the gem cost.

As I have said previously I have been on UW with my husband since day one of purchase for us both. BUT it has not been an easy ride and we have had many many talks together about moving. I play less and less WvW because of the terrible state of WvW on our server. As the poster says you can run about and see noone. And we have swung from the domination of BT to now FOW. Both for different and very frustrating reasons. This is not fun to play tbh. I don’t mind the loosing but the swinging from pvd to being squished by a blob and having to wait till they are off the map is frustrating.
The problem is I dont see how moving helps things. As shown by BTs sudden fall it does not take much for a servers fortunes to change. I am in a small guild and if we moved server it would make no difference to anyone but other guilds are massive and they could move and completely change a tier. So it feels like you are at the mercy of other peoples whims.

sephiroth.4217:

I don’t know anyone who has stayed on their home server for 3 years. (bronze league)

I have always been on UW so has my husband. Some other people have always been here.

Yes we should be able to defend with a small number of people – but there is a fine line between stopping a blob just being able to ktrain the map and lack of movement on the map. If you log in in the morning to find the nite cappers have flipped the whole map (and often upgraded them – though they will not need to bother soon with the autoupgrades) and you are not very many people your chances of flipping things are low and so the points will just keep ticking. There is only so much solo camp flipping you can do till you get bored.
I dunno as someone on a low pop server I think the idea that there is a one rule and one map fits all solution is just crazy

meltdown.5870:

played RoS and UW …never seen a que..dont even know how it looks….

maybe a screenshot just in case i should have missed it

There is a kinda queue system in PvP if you really like that kinda thing. Or move to the UK apparently we like queueing

Varonth.5830:

How about this:

Walls apply a buff to anyone standing at the top of a wall called ‘High Ground’. Players affected will takes 20% less projectile damage, 40% less AoE damage and 75% less PBAoE damage from any source that does not have the ‘High Ground’ buff themself.

That way you could fight back if enemies attack your keep, and if fights between groups happen ontop of the walls everyone will deal damage as if it is plain ground.

Great idea except that in the garri there are some points where an enemy on the outer wall can hit you on the inner wall.
Defending should be worth it and possible. Its just a joke atm that someone on the ground can hit me but I cannot hit him.

I also wonder if there should be some kinda ‘over confidence’ debuff – ie u are a small group defending a tower and the large group come at you – they are over confident as they are large numbers compared to your smaller numbers.

Would be nice if there were some map changes to the lower tiers that took lower overall numbers into account.

SpellOfIniquity.1780:

I’ve been on:
Dragonbrand, Jade Quarry, Desolation (EU), Seafarer’s Rest (EU), Isle Of Janthir, Yak’s Bend, Ferguson’s Crossing, Kaineng, Crystal Desert and Darkhaven in that order.

Things to note from the server’s I’ve been on:
Dragonbrand has a poor community and aren’t very good on the open field. They rely too heavily on their SEA blob.

JQ are strong as players but have a lot of rude players.

I hated Desolation. Period.

Seafarer’s Rest had a lot of nice people and decent players. Mind you they were mostly a blob server.

IOJ was getting spawn camped every day when I was on it which was at the time it was having it’s exodus so anything I have to say about IOJ is pretty much irrelevant at this point.

YB was pretty nice when I was there which was before they got all the transfers. I only left because I hated Fort Aspenwood so much. YB had okay fighters but as many people say they tend to siege hump a lot. Just don’t be fooled by the exaggerations. They do use a lot of siege but it’s not as over the top as some of their haters will have you believe.

Ferguson’s Crossing had one of the best communities I’ve been a part of. Super nice people, very enjoyable to be around. Unfortunately it was also a heavily fair weather server. People only came out to fight when they felt like it which meant they were going to be perpetually stuck in a low tier.

Kaineng was fun for roaming. A lot of independent players on that server. Even when tags were up people would prefer to roam. The community was okay but a certain guild that I shall not name had a lot of toxic players.

Crystal Desert was horrible. The worst server I’ve been on hands down. I cannot say anything good about it at all. Bad players, terrible community, mostly immature teenagers. Don’t go there.

And DH which I’m on now is my new home, hopefully forever. I’ve never been more happy with a transfer and I don’t ever plan on leaving unless something serious happens. DH has an amazing community, fun, loving people with lots of great humor. Chat is always a blast to read and participate in. Great fighters, even PUGs can wipe full guilds with even numbers. Lots of dedicated roamers and dedicated guilds, great commander’s… It just has everything one could want. I’d almost say it’s a shame we’re not in a higher tier but at the same time I think we’re right where we belong. Where there are still challenges to be had and not tons of bandwagons. Still, if you want a great place to go, come to Darkhaven. I haven’t been on every server but I’ve been on enough of them to know that DH is by a long shot the best place to be.

Inb4 post deleted for discussing match making.

Why? Why all the server swapping? If anything this shows the problems we have in WvW that people move about so much so to label a server is surely pointless as it can be a completely different place very quickly.

Oh and though I have been on (EU) UW from the start I have a love hate relationship with it. Sometimes UW is like herding cats, but then other times its like the loyalist dog. I guess its a bit bipolar.
