Guild Wars 2

Mikau.6920:

Again. This is frustrating. They don’t only took every thing, but WP EVERYTHING.

Looks eerily similar to what we did on Halloween on SFR

I think you should be able to put Ascended equipment into the forge along with ascended inscriptions/insignias to unlock the ability to swap stats on that item.

What if we can get such a feature that will track the time spend playing WvW or certain server and reward us a “server title” (e.g. “Vabbi Hound”).

The idea is simple – you gather up points while playing wvw on one server and your points decrease if you transfer away and you’re not able to gain more points toward gaining points for your new server till you loose all points from your previous server.

I call them ‘honor points’ (pride points).

There could be a variety of titles depending on your points you have accumulated – which will be tied to a title progression. (example: tier 1 – Vabbi Hound for 1000 points and tier 2 Vabbi Scout for 5000 points)

Achievement with progression to boost a bit the server pride and a way to show off your loyalty to your server you love.

what do you think and what titles you would like to have to show off ?

Atherakhia.4086:

They just need to take the rewards from the reward tracks and put them on vendors in WvW that can be purchased with badges of honor.

Allow us to buy a random dungeon token for 50 badges of honor.

Allow us to buy a leveling book for 100 badges of honor.

Allow us to buy a skill scroll for 10 badges of honor.

Allow us to buy the PvP skin with 1000 badges of honor.

Unlock finishers based on WvW rank.

Badges are stupidly easy to get in EotM. Any rewards should come from real WvW. PvErs have thousands of badges, often more than WvWers do. It kind of defeats the purpose if PvErs benefit from it more than players who are dedicated to only doing WvW.

@OP – Totally support the idea. WvW definitely needs more rewards. The ones we get are pretty pathetic compared to PvE and PvP.

This is a perfect example of the amount of time Anet is willing to devote to WvW…LOL.

just lol, we have some fun this week

Pretty much everyone had to suffer said lag in s/tPvP, Dungeons, WvW or such recently, or know people who had, while Anet pretends it’s the player’s ISP/Computers that are responsible (said ISP/computers are nasty little buggers, because they manage to cause random dc at the EXACT SAME SECOND in WvW, on both sides of an engagement, from 7+ countries, God knows how many cities, and at least 10+ ISP, really mean ISP/computers conspirating to screw up players over in that way……….. the NSA should hire them, those machines/companies are far better than the almighty NSA xD), but honestly i neved had the idea to check the ip of the maps it happens on.

In Dungeons/s-tPvP/PvE it’s maps that don’t last and change really fast, in WvW, it’s indeed instances that last a week without change (hence the fact people notice it more there), and the fact it last a whole MU would be explained by the instance/server it runs on being borked.

We need to start a list of the problematic ip on this forum, to track it and get a clear picture.

Ok, we’ve been the redheaded step child for a while and we (WvW’ers) know that, you (Anet) know that, and they (PvE’ers) know that. So you guys finally decided to try and sell something that actually was relevant to wvw, and this is what you came up with?

“Equip yourself to excel in the World vs. World Fall Tournament 2014 with the World vs. World Support Pack! This bundle lets you save big on five Black Lion Weapon Scraps, five Black Lion Keys, five Metabolic Primers, five WXP Boosters, three Utility Primers, one Armor Booster, one Speed Booster, one Strength Booster, and limited-use access to the new Grave Finisher before it’s officially released!”
~ https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/tempest-weapons-and-world-vs-world-support-pack-in-the-gem-store/

5 Black lion weapon scraps
5 Black Lion Keys
5 Metabolic Primers
5 Wxp boosters
3 Utility primers
1 Armor boost
1 Speed boost
1 Strength boost

Black lion weapon scraps and Keys… What does this have to do with WvW? I mean, we’re grateful that you guys finally decided we deserve to have cool skins too but you’re giving us access to literally skins that the PvE community has had for months, if not over a year.

Wxp boosters- Idk, maybe I’m alone on this but I feel like these would be worth more and more appreciated if it wasn’t for the guy who hit max rank (either last week or the week before) on EoTM. It’s like your choosing to give us these to compensate for the fact that we can’t compete with their Karma train.

Primers and Boosts- I don’t know how much the total “Pack” costs, but is it really necessary to throw in things that I have dozens of sitting in my vault, likely just to drive up the price so that you can still say we’re getting a good deal on the ticket scraps.

Awesome guys! Keep up the solid work, Sarcasm
~P.S. This is not nearly as beneficial as the things we’ve been asking for, and looks a lot like the tournament achievements in that someone realized last minute that we were getting anxious and starting to leave.

Wanderer.3248:

You could always covert gold to gems and buy the charges. Otherwise your only options are PVE.

Yup, I’m swimming in gold like Scrooge McDuck from all the amazing WvW rewards….

Edge of the Mists, yep this area is killing off WvW. I know there will be people annoyed as heck reading this….but Anet need to reduce rewards in EoTM by 80%.
WHAAAT nooo way i can already hear it.
What is the purpose of Eotm? Its supposed to function as an overflow, mess about, lounge room area, while waiting to ENTER WvW.
I was in Eotm while qued for EB and busted on an episode while following the zerg around. I could not believe how much i was being rewarded for killling time holy hanna.
MORE badges then WvW, more Kama then WvW, more WXP then WvW, more levels gained, more everything.
No wonder there are sooo many people in here.
And then there are alot of days where i will be roaming the borderlands with a friend and not see more then 2-3 server allies, for hours on end.
What the hell Anet Eotm contributes close to nothing for the WvW’ers, just takes people away from it.
Oh yer iam on Jade Quarry, thats right a TIER 1 server, just in case someone was bout to say move to a more populated server.
Right now everyone brings their low levels here to level up, you can level up 1-80 in couple of days.
Reduce the rewards massively and lets get some life back into WvW.
iam prepared for the salty response.

Oh btw, no thanks for making this seasons achievements so boring and easy, took like 10min when i was qued in Eotm while watching eps.

So some are saying that the players who are doing small-scale are better at small-scale than those who are doing larger-scale? OHMAGAWD!

I wanna see 15/20 spvp player vs a gvg-guild fight in OS

Gz, bunny. You are good, even though half of your power is a huge zerg :o

Anyway, join my guild guys :D

how many guys made it yet? =D

thanks to everyone for joining in the good and in the bad times,

supporting me and bein on the battlefield!

im not getting any more wxp, the wxp bar is just full and it shows:

49,979,000 / 49,979,000 WvW Experience

I get your point, but trying to establish such a thing is simply not going to happen. Each server community is going to have to work it out for themselves. I’m betting on some of the lower pop servers, such as mine, we will just have commanders using whatever color they want just to differentiate from each other.

Commanders on low pop servers will often map hop, playing all roles from offense, defense, havok and pugmander. In these cases I would rather a commander pick a color so I can stick with them regardless of which map we hop to. Sure, I could join squad, but honestly I like to be able to see when there are multiple commanders on a map.

The cost of the commander tags is completely disproportionate with the typical income for wvw players.
Either commander tags have to be available to wvw players for a reduced cost, supplemented with badges (eg. 150g + 10000 badges), or rewards have to be greatly increased to compensate. Preferably both.
The current price is a total slap in the face to wvw players.

The commander tag is not a status symbol for the people who understand it. The pugmannders who are tagging on your Eternal Battlegrounds and trying to lead your server to victory in WvW, the servers and communities that regularly organize Wurm and Tequatl, the hardcore WvW guilds who lead 24hr paintrains, the solo commander who is explaining Drytop and trying to rally the map for a T6 run…all these people appreciate and understand the tag more than Anet ever will.

However, closed-minded PvEers and Anet seem to think it is a vanity item.

Like a lot of people in the forum I don’t want to run FotM just to get the Mist Stone needed to make the ascended back piece. I hate FotM so much I will probably skip this step. While I’ve been loving the scavenger hunt quality of this back piece, for a lot of the reasons other people have mentioned, I was disappointed with requirement.

But you know something? I’ll live. If it was just the back piece, I’d still care, but I’d get over it.

However, the real issue, in my opinion, is the bonus of Mawdrey II you get from crafting the back piece. Mawdrey II is a plant that eats your Bloodstone Dust – you know, all the pink stuff filling up your bank – and gives you stuff in return. For 50 piles of dust it returns random loot. While it seems to mostly give back greens and harvest mats, some people are already saying they’re getting rares from it.

This is the equivalent of giving the back piece people their own personal vendor. People have been clamoring for better uses of Bloodstone dust (I have over 100 bricks in my bank.), and this is ArenaNet’s solution??

That kitten’s not fair. It’s not fair to people who don’t want to do FotM. It’s not fair to people who don’t have an interest in making the back piece. It’s not fair to people who PvP. It’s so not fair, I’m surprised, no one else seems to have mentioned it. Most things people complain about not being fair in GW2 are vanity issues, but this is a whole different category of unfairness.

In my opinion, there should be a Bloodstone vendor, but if ArenaNet insists on not creating a vendor, then make the Mawdrey plant a reward for completing the storyline. Everyone should be able to complete the story.

TLDR: The ability to trade in your Bloodstone dust for loot shouldn’t be made available only to those who finish the back piece, it should be available to everyone.

Lightenbird after reading your comments here I’ve decided to do fractals

Took the group i joined around 2:34 minutes to reach 3rd map’s last boss.

By this time we got 1 of the players afk multiple times and eventually leave.

We got 1 of the other guys start raging and make 1 more of the players leave.

So basically I’ve been put into situation I’ve spend around 3h and not being able to acquire the item i was there for.

No offense but I see no logic for you to be here except deliberately trolling people who just ask for mare variety.

Thank you for your involvement in this topic but you have no reason to be opposite to this idea which is just an improvement and adds variety.

If you like Fractals and trolling people in fractals that much – do it but you have no right to troll wvw players who ask for support here.

It’s a game we all bought with money for different reasons – you may enjoy fractals same as we bought this game because we enjoy wvw.

I really would like developers to start utilizing those finally

You already have the NPC that can be used to sell those – same NPC that sells gift of battle.

And the number of badges required can be increased.

Anet please don’t forget about us – WvW only players :<
Please start using those badges to provide us with items we need to craft the new items so we can feel part of this game.

Stop isolating WvW players.

Feeling like the unwanted child for past 2 years started to hurt a lot lately.

Re-plugging some of my old suggestions back in here for good measure >.>

New Buildables:
– Walls/Barricades
– Slow Traps
– Buildable Watchtowers
– Buildable Supply Depot (Allow players to deposit supply, not only withdraw)
– Ramps for high terrain/walls (fragile/low hp)

New Camp Upgrades:
– Dolyak Armor: Equip your Dolyaks with the latest and greatest in combat platemail, allowing them to engage enemies when struck and soak up more damage. (requires guard upgrade first)

– Runic Portal: Allows portal travel to the Bloodlust Ruins (located between all 5 points) (requires Waypoint built)

New Map-wide Upgrades: (located in Citadel)
– Upgrade Sentries your world controls into small outposts, consisting of 2 Guards, 2 Archers and 1 Scout (marks nearby targets). Requires Home Borderlands Keeps and Garrison under control.

New Structures:
– Skritt Hovel (change functionality similar to claimable forces in Eternal Battlegrounds.) Fortifies the location in the NW of the map to be a new claimable location with bonuses.
– Modniir Stronghold (change functionality similar to claimable forces in Eternal Battlegrounds.) Fortifies the location in the NE of the map to be a new claimable location with bonuses.

New Structural Upgrade:
– Electrified Gates (Players who strike the gate with standard attacks have damage returned.

Gate Upgrades: Reduce gate health by 25% and apply a bonus:

- Dredge Tech: gates are immune to flame blast vulnerability.
- Asuran Tech: gates deal damage back to players striking it without siege, with a 10% chance to stun on damage.
- Sylvari Tech: gates slowly regenerate health without requiring supply, but are twice as vulnerable to Flame Blast.
- Charr Tech: gates cast off metal shards when struck by siege weapons, bleeding and crippling enemies nearby.
- Human Tech: barricades are built on both inner and outer sides, limiting space near the gate entrance.
- Norn Tech: Totemic gates give nearby allies bonus might, and periodically chill enemies (1s per 10s)

Electric Fence

Who can use it: Electric Fense is an upgrade available to guild members of an owned Keep/Tower/Garrison with Claiming permissions.

What it does: When purchased and completed, Electric Fence will prevent all players from directly interacting with the supply depots of the claimed location. This process can be activated and deactivated by an NPC.

Players attempting to access the Supply Depot without permission will be given a quick shock, and a small amount of damage or blindness.

Why use this: This is to alleviate issues with trolls, and players who do not know build procedures within higher value structures, unintentionally (or ex Trolls, intentionally) delaying the progress of structure upgrades, or preventing them completely.

Since the old one was locked due to a necromancer bringing it back….I figure since it is still actually relevant and also valid, I shall repost for the purpose of discussion.

Commander UI: A map/UI window that allows commanders to view all sub-commander’s locations and their nearby allies and enemies via map dots (same radius as normal player range) as well as placed siege of all types (icons for siege will be displayed on the map)

The commander UI will allow the commander to view any supply currently located in any server owned towers/keeps/camp/etc. on the UI screen. (Ex. Location Name – Supply:125)

Custom waypoint markers and path markers will be given to the commander and will be displayed on the map and mini-map of any sub-commanders, with an option to be displayed to all, or specific sub-commanders.

Some markers may include:
– Arrows for directional guidance
– “No Symbol” for halting movement to certain zones or areas, or localize movement
– Stars/Diamonds/Circles/Squares for team stacking/movement
– Unique siege icons to pinpoint locations for siege placement such as ballistae/trebuchets/catapults.
– Custom icons for hotspot identification or reinforcement routes.
– Shield icons for defense locations

Commanders will be able to also directly use the Draw feature on the Ui map and will be shown to all active/or specified sub-commanders.

A side-bar on the window will also display the number of sub-commanders/other commander locations on the other maps for WvW uses (ability to see how many sub-commanders are located in each borderlands + EB listed in the window)

Sub-commanders (current commander system): Current commanders will be now labeled as sub-commanders, with the ability to access and alter their commander icon to various shapes and colors to help keep themselves locatable among other sub-commanders (one may have a pink star, another may have a green circle)

The color chosen will also determine their chat name color when using a new commander chat (similar to Team chat) allowing players to identify specific commanders orders directly in chat. They will also have the ability to place custom waypoint markers that can be directly linked into chat for pinpoint team movement.

Commander: This will now be a position limited to 1 per map and have direct contact with all sub-commanders, view all members within sub-commanders squads as well as their supply counts, and access to a new custom UI (see above). The position will require a new pre-requisite to become a commander.

With the influx of gold into the economy, the numbers of commanders have risen considerably, as well as the confusion associated with new commanders in both WvW and PvE environments. Limiting the “high tier” commander to 1 per map, and having a new pre-requisite (maybe even a small test given by an NPC, that simply shows they are capable of commanding) would help alleviate the overall messiness of the current system.
