I am on blue team
we upgraded red’s keep to tier 2, halfway to tier 3
20 red came to retake their keep, we asked for help
our host server says we have a truce with red team so we aren’t coming to help
we lost red keep
we asked our host, how did that truce work for you? how much of green teams stuff did you take? answer…zero
lol so we lost a keep AND didn’t take anything
I see this a lot. no one wants to defend home bl. my question/idea is way out there but do we need the home bls? what if we had 2 ebg maps instead? is this a nutso idea? ok let the yelling begin.
Just kicked a chicken 60 times against the wall…no achievement
it was just me kicking no events in the area
Yes bugged for me too. Please fix this
Yeah, we were on the walkway by air keep. I guess that could be considered uneven ground. I will have to switch to spectral grasp and hope I get the benefit of the bug.
I was fighting a reaper and they used some skill that threw me up in the air. I can’t figure out what that skill was, any ideas?
how do you submit a “ticket” to report a group of people who have taken advantage of a hack or exploit? was more than one person.
The enemy had attacked bay then left. Players drained supply repairing. I pulled the supply drop to get supply back into bay and promptly got yelled at in map chat for doing so. When do you all think supply drop should be used?
Forgive my bump up, just saw this post. I am also an orig FC player. I really miss knowing every single person on our server. Knowing that when I call out for help I know the person will help and not stand there and watch me die.
Since the linking the number of ppl on my blocked list grows with every new link. I know this is counterproductive but I am so tired of being yelled at in map chat.
Many ppl on FC have said they want to go back to being unlinked. Unfortunately this is not going to happen. I feel your pain though and would love to have our original FC back.
Is this a bug or working as intended?
Please nerf binding roots
Just had to defend SF. Long ago, before the linking mess, SF was stomping FC. A few of us transformed into yaks and some SF escorted us around their side of ebg. It was hilarious. I am sorry if some stomped you as quaggan but most SF are super fun.
Thank you for your show of empathy. It does suck to get run over day after day but because of the great people in wvw, I am still having fun. It helps to remember it is a game.
guess some people get tunnel vision and strategy goes out the window…hehe.
When you’re 200k ahead I don’t think you need to bother with strategy.
There has been very little if any of that going on. Anyone on SBI who thinks we are winning because superior skill/tactics is lying to themselves. We outnumber SF in every time zone and DH … well I don’t know what to say, I guess sorry that Anets hates you.
I am finally getting the big picture. it isn’t about buffing or nerfing siege, buffing or nerfing player builds etc. if you have enough people, none of that matters. I wouldn’t be surprised to see tier 4 get dissolved into the upper three tiers.
As I look at the scores the other 3 tiers seem pretty evenly matched. I am hoping with the next link our tier is also more evenly balanced.
currently deployed siege is invulnerable for 3 seconds. I can’t build an ac in 3 seconds. I am not saying make the siege invulnerable forever, just a minute. We threw 3 superior acs on inner bay and they were all taken down by eles. Is this really not a problem for anyone else? maybe it is only a problem for tier 4 servers who have fewer people to defend.
nothing is more frustrating than trying to build an ac to defend a wall or gate and have it destroyed by eles or rangers or even engis before it can be built. Why can’t it just be invulnerable for the first minute? This would give us a chance to build it but still give the opponents a chance to destroy it after the first minute.
We are currently linked with a server that has a Spanish speaking guild. They will be saying something in map chat but it is in Spanish. I thought I saw something about an in game translator. Is there one and how do I use it? We are on an NA server.
Do we need to kill all three wurms in order for me to get the AP for cobalt wurmslayer? I looked all over wiki and google, couldn’t find an answer. We killed the cobalt wurm but failed at the other two.
Thank you all for your comments. I had to bump this topic up again hoping anet will notice and change this. It happened again in Cursed Shores. “Let defend Arah fail so I can get my legendary”. if anet is going to make gathering items for collections dependent on certain events then those events should not be a part of a let the event fail chain. Please change this so people can stop yelling at other playes in map chat, say chat and pms.
I understand why some want the event to fail…because the event that follows has more reward/loot. Why can’t all of the events in that chain have the same rewards? This would avoid the nasty pms from people calling me a jerk and other choice names for not letting the first event fail. I am sure this topic has come up in the forums before. Does this system bother anyone else? As one who doesn’t pve very often I have been yelled at by other pve players a lot for not knowing “the rules”. At times I miss gw1 where we all had our own instance to kill and explore.
Yes!!! Love this idea. I have very much missed having our FC community. It would gives us all a break from the blobs and extreme lag. I doubt anet will go for it, with the server jumping ,might be difficult to create the matches. The servers that were low pop now have more players. Some of the higher pop servers have lost players. Great idea though.
I can empathize with having to deal with toxic people. You would like to be able to play wvw and have fun. My advice would be to find a few friends to run with and ignore or block the others. You can’t control how others are going to act, including posters on this thread/forum, lol. Best of luck to you. Try to have fun despite the nasties.
Considering how poorly fc has been treated in this linking being considered as dh is grossly offensive. If you want to keep it from getting confusing list the players server but color the text based on their team color. There is no reason they all have to be red names. It would take some adjusting to get used to but it would solve all these problems as far as what the enemies see.
As far as what the player sees just have all the text list their homeworld. Both servers know pretty quickly who their allies are. If I say help in fc bl even the server we are paired with is going to know that I’m talking about home bl. The names of borderlands for enemies can list both servers in equal sized text which would just lead to it being called blue or red bl
Great idea. I would love to get our server name back.
I feel for the OP. I am on FC. I voted against the linking. We lost our community because of the linking, the OP lost their server members. I have still managed to have fun in wvw, mostly because of the great people in FC. I have met some really nice people from DH too. I am sorry you aren’t enjoying wvw as much as you did before the linking. I hope it turns around for you soon.
Yay! I loved the dbl. no one defended them, easy ppt. Can’t wait for them to return!
You know this just goes to show how special FC is….we actually like everyone on our server. I would like to know how FC voted in the linking poll, was it more than 75%? I have faith that we can still have fun as members of FC. Reset last night was super fun, thanks to our guild leader, members and friends. Keep checking in with wvw. One thing about this game, it seems pretty fluid. What we don’t like today might be gone tomorrow, we can only hope and keep on truckin!
I think it would be cool if you had the option of displaying your guild symbol as your commander tag.
NSP used this again at reset. Is this really "working as intended "? Fighting an Omega who is holding a dragon banner …does this seem right to anyone?
Witnessed this tonight for the first time. This seems way over powered imo.
I would also like to know how each server voted. My husband commented “the more players who pay irl money to jump servers the more money anet makes” I hope this is not a considering factor. Anet is a business at the end of the day. If the linking goes through I will stop by wvw every once in a while but it won’t be my main focus. I just don’t find entertainment in the huge blobs.
What?! It’s only been 3 weeks? I thought for sure it had already been a month!
I log in to wvw long enough to try and get the daily and then I go to pve. WvW just isn’t as fun anymore. I am eager for the linking poll also. I can’t imagine another 9 weeks of this, haven’t we suffered enough?!
I really hope this beta linking ends soon. I think enough time has passed now to know how people feel about it. For me it feels like our wvw community is dying or maybe already dead. Some tried working with our host server, it seems to be a struggle. We have tried to group up with players from our server but face so many enemies we are lucky to be able to take a camp. I used to play in wvw every day all day long. lately I have been playing a lot more pve than wvw. WvW just seems pointless. Please end this linking now. It feels like a slow painful death. I am glad some are enjoying the linking but for some it is awful.
I just had an ah-ha moment. I may be repeating some things that have already been stated so I apologize in advance.
In wvw we have ppt and fights. some players may like the fights more, others like getting the ppt more. I personally like the ppt because I want to win, lol! Others I know really enjoy the large fights/battles.
What if there was a choice in wvw to play for ppt or to play for fights? Maybe it is like someone stated earlier in this thread, we need to rethink the ppt scoring/winning system.
I was talking with another player today and he said many of their ppt guilds had left the server so now the guilds that were left were focusing mainly on the fights and not worrying so much about the ppt.
I would still like to have our FC server back but if linking is put in place permanently then something more needs to change.
This linking has churned up a lot of feelings, positive and negative. I can feel the stress and strain from the other players. Maybe I am projecting but I don’t think so, not entirely.
I would be interested to know what players enjoy the most. Capturing and holding objectives in wvw or fighting the zergs. I know I enjoy both but play mostly for ppt because I want to win.
Maybe this is the wrong thread for this topic. I am just trying to find a solution so everyone can be happy again. Me included, lol!
Keep posting everyone and be sure to vote in the upcoming poll on linking.
(edited by Avengedeath.4671)
I would really hope the poll on linking would include an option to say which server you are from. is anet able to track which server the voters are from? If the majority of say ET says they like the linking then get rid of the ET server. If the majority of FC doesn’t want the linking then let FC stand alone. This might create issues if 23 of the 24 servers want to stay linked but I doubt that would be the case. It will be interesting to see when the linking poll comes out.
yes, thank you for responding Tyler. I will definitely vote when the linking survey comes around.
Another thing I really miss about FC before the linking is the map chat. We would joke, talk about where the enemy was, who needed help where etc. There wasn’t any toxic comments or if there were someone spoke up and said hey cut it out. Now map chat esp in EBG can get very toxic. You can’t do anything without someone making a critical comment. I have found myself getting defensive even when the comment was innocent because of the many comments that weren’t innocent. I just want a friendly place to play. PvE is not that place, PvP is definitely not that place so WvW was the last place where I could go, have fun without negativity from my team mates. I guess if the linking becomes permanent I will have to develop a tougher skin or turn map chat off which defeats the purpose of map chat.
I think no matter how nice some fc and dh people are, we will always be us and them. I was in a squad with all dh people today, one fc person who was in their guild, I think invited me to squad. I was placed in a party by myself. there were a total of 9 people in the squad. there may have been a good reason for this, I don’t know. I just know I felt like an outsider. they finally moved me into a full party when the fc player asked me to treb as a distraction so they could attack garrison.
to be fair, I have been in fc majority squads where they put a dh person in a party by themselves. It will be a long hard struggle for me at least if anet makes linking permanent. Now that the Alpine bl is back, I am eager to go back to just having FC server stand alone and see how we do. I am not sure what the answer is but I don’t think linking is it.
I really hope we don’t have to get used to linking. I am going to talk about pve for a minute, I know this is a discussion about wvw so don’t jump on me just yet please. Before the megaserver FC was really quiet in pve. The skill points were challening alone and you had to ask in map chat for help or wait until a busier time to have help. Around reset time Bonbonnie would do a world boss run. we could jump from map to map and kill the world bosses. it was a lot of fun.
Then came the megaserver and all of that went away. now the skill points were done for you practically. All of the Temples in Cursed Shores etc stay clear for the most part.
So players wanted harder content because now the maps were too easy. So now we are back to begging for help in the HOT maps to get the skill points.
I can’t imagine what it will be like when they bring back the Alpine bl if linking is still in existence. It will be an easier map with a ton of players.
Please don’t turn wvw into a megaserver type of atmosphere. I know you can’t please everyone all the time. There are small town people and big ciy people. I liked being able to play wvw in a small town. I don’t mind visiting a big city but I don’t want to live there.
I too enjoy playing in smaller groups and roaming on my own. It is nice to have more people to play with but there must be some way to balance the population so that we can still be effective alone or in smaller groups. I agree it would be nice to have more coverage throughout the day/night. I really enjoy the small community feel of FC. Everyone knows everyone, like a small town. Now we have been moved to a big city. It is exciting and different but overwhelming too.
