Guild Wars 2

Olba.5376:

Every time ANet says anything about “the future”, people take is as guaranteed promises that cannot, will not and could not be broken under any condition. Once those views on the future turn out to be untrue or not as beautiful as ANet envisioned, people will hate ANet for it. People will call them liars. And then… people will start asking for more.

The problem isn’t that they haven’t delivered on nearly any of these things, its that there has been little if any communication about their progress. We don’t even know if we should still expect these things.

The anger that results in the community, particularly here in the WvW community, stems from a simple lack of communication. If I was told “Look we planned X,Y and Z but have had technical difficulties implementing them. We are still planning to have it in the game however.” Then I would be understanding and simply wait. Likewise if they told us “Look due to technical/balancing issues, we decided that unfortunately we have to scrap X,Y and Z plans, however we will now focus on A,B and C plans instead, so stay hopeful of new content.” I would again understand.

The biggest lie told by Anet’s apologists is that if they tell us information we’ll get angry if they change plans and have a tantrum. That’s insulting to all of us who want the game to prosper and are capable of understanding the simple fact that things are always developing. Not telling us anything is simply lazy and offensive to those who put their time and effort into fostering a community in this game, likewise poor treatment of their customers.

Instead give us regular updates on the state of development of WvW or anything for that matter so we can look forward to new content and encourage others with that news also. They have not done that in regards to many of these things, and if they have, they are not readily accessible to me or many others.

Op claims that it is unfair that some people play when he/she is asleep and that because they worked hard during their day it shouldn’t be taken away. Following your logic and being Australian I think you should be banned from wvw or have your points reduced when I’m asleep because I can’t keep the towers I worked for during my day. However I suspect you’d disagree with that because it doesn’t fit into your incredibly self entitled view of the issue.

You claim servers lose 90% of their population during the night, NEWSFLASH, that affects every server. The server your on is affected by this, the server your fighting is affected by this. If your enemy has an oceanic guild which outplays your night crew then that’s is YOUR SERVERS RESPONSIBILITY to rectify it either by:
a) getting your own oceanic guild to counter theirs
b) staying up late yourself
c) performing better during the server day to out do the efforts of the night crew

This is not meant to be a nice little arena fight where everyone wears the same gear and has the same time limits etc etc etc. It’s a WAR. That means it’s dirty. Your encouraged to out play, outnumber and out gear your opponent. It’s about effort, especially now that servers are being matched to servers of a similar standard and we’re increasingly less likely to have blowout matches. If you can’t deal with that then go play spvp which is a separate being and has what you want, or so it seems.

There isn’t an alliance. We had commanders on all maps and Ebay has so far put up better resistance. Now that may be numbers, skill or a combination but in the end we’re just taking whatever we can whilst hoping for decent fights in the process.

I’m quite new to using my warrior in WvW and have been playing around with the class, finding out what it is good at and what it is not etc. I’ve read around a million different types of roaming builds but very few zerg builds. Does the warrior’s roaming builds work in zergs? Only some of them? Or are they two completely separate things? Also if anyone could give me a brief run down of the different current ‘meta’ builds for a roaming warrior that would be an added bonus.
