lol @ people who play everyday and say it’s a l2p issue and “git gud”. That would explain their backpedaling tactics.
Hard CC always was strong, that’s why from day 1 all you needed was warriors and guardians and you could plow through everything as a guild group, which is not possible anymore because the stability changes and all the new high damage ranged skills + cc added to them. Killing a decent blob is hardly possible anymore.
That being said if they stop adding high range stuns it will be much better.
Oh my gawd, who cares about full counter spec when they nerfed warrior’s sustain. It was already potato in WvW large scale fights but sure, lets nerf it.
Reviving is pure cancer. It’s way too fast.
I lost the count how many times I down people in 2v1 and they manage to revive them while cleaving or simply do it faster than my stomp. Why not change that? Why not add debuff that makes people take +50% more damage while reviving people? But wait, we needed gliding!
Then you brought the wrong tools to go 1v2. Just damage doesnt always cut it.
Sorry, I play warrior, not mesmer, can’t have everything.
That’s true. Warrior has no interrupts.
What’s a stab? Distortion? Dark field? Or easy mode pasives? There shouldn’t be ever a scenario where someone can be revived so easily while getting cleaved.
McKenna Berdrow, in your last AMA on reddit, you or Mike O’Brien said WvW and sPvP is player driven mode and it belongs to the players, and you will make the changes you want.
When did we say we want gliding in WvW??
We never wanted airships bombarding SM, that was an idea of PvE player, yet you added it.
This is why the game mode is dying.
Is there some requirement to become a WvWer? Everyone’s opinion matter, and people did request those features and they were implemented.
Sure things arn’t going that well due to a mismatch somewhere, and players are good at pointing out whats wrong, but at the same time not the best at suggesting how to fix things. Gliding is certainly not the reason why anything is dying though.
Gliding will be one of the reasons. The game mode is dying because the dev “team” has no idea of WvW, implements their own vision and takes the terrible suggestion of people who step in WvW once a week at best.
It’s almost like look for most easy “changes” to justify their salaries. Why don’t they fix the walls of keeps and towers so people can actually use the kitten cannons , oils and mortars? Nah, that requires real work.

Horrible, I am getting more and more of this. You kill someone you get kittentalked, you get killed you get kittentalked.
Horrible game. Horrible community.
Sorry, our safe space has reached its maximum capacity. Please try again later.
And let me guess, you are running some heavy cheesy condi build. and only 1vX and avoid 1v1 like a plague(no pun intended).
I don’t always whisper but when I do I get tilted by some scrvb without honor mashing one button to put 10 condis.
lolz. “Roaming guilds”. These guilds are dead. Pretty sure you mean ganking squads with fotm cookie cutter cheesy builds grabbed from metabattle because thinking and learning your class is so hard.
Yep, it is. And concentration on population is kittened up so much.
I’m on AG, server has “died” several times over the past 4+ years and coming back always but this is the worst state I’ve seen.
Can you even imagine how much worse it would be if Anet lied to us and didn’t prioritize WvW /s ?
Diversity isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but in this case it would be completely immersion-breaking. With all of that fighting and running around, I can’t see any character being chubby.
In Japan, Sumo are some of the healthiest and athletic people on the planet. In wrestling, The Big Show can do a moonsault.
The negative health effects of the sumo lifestyle can become apparent later in life. Sumo wrestlers have a life expectancy between 60 and 65, more than 10 years shorter than the average Japanese male. Many develop diabetes or high blood pressure, and they are prone to heart attacks due to the enormous amount of fat they accumulate. The excessive intake of alcohol can lead to liver problems and the stress on their joints due to their excess weight can cause arthritis. Recently, the standards of weight gain are becoming less strict, in an effort to improve the overall health of the wrestlers
2) The Big Show has plenty of muscle mass, he’s not a ball of fat. And also WWE is not even a real sport. It’s a show, it’s all staged.
Games are not the most healthy thing, the last thing they need to do is to promote more healthy things. There’s nothing OK to be “chubby”. Go outside and do sports.
Oh, yeah, you totally rekt those invaders, recruits and assaulters. I’m sure they definitely knew what they were doing, after all they were focusing targets so hard.
And that perma protection and regen. #NotCarried
. The down side of both maps running simultaneously is the possibility of imbalance between the maps;
So you admit you know nobody will go play on the desert BL, everyone will stack on alpines. Then why do you still insist to have this map in WvW? And even propose to be updated each 3 months. 3 months of dead WvW.
Can we have a poll – Do you want Desert BL’s back? Because we don’t want to see them ever again, not even mixed.
And whose idea are the deployable mortars and cannons? And the repair hammers?
So we can make defending even harder than it is now? So I will shoot the cata/rams with AC and the whole blob will just repair it. No thanks. Maybe you should fix the current cannons and oil so they are not death trap. They should be destroyable only by ballistas or projectile attacks.
Just for an FYI, Eviscerate hits WAY harder than either of those. Also some channeled skills such as Rapid Fire clock for an astonishing average of 6k and it is on a 10s timer as well as being able to hit from the longest range.
Way harder? With the same power and crit. damage it’s about 25% less,if you add the burning then its ~12%. And don’t forget it hits up to 3 targets within 180 radius, 1500 range, improved projectile velocity and cast time while evis is possibly the most telegraphed burst. It’s stupid that a ranged weapon on the same class performs just as good as high-risk melee weapon.Imo there’s no need of 1500 range and 100% projectile velocity bonus but hey, how else you would sell half-finished expansion?
And this is about the warrior, if we go through the other classes…
I know, right?
7k backstabs and 4-4.4k hammer bolts on 3.1k armor+7% damage reduction.
5k meteors, mind that the area is huge.
Range cc spam ftw.
In 2 years we may have some kind of balance.
We really need standardized cd and damage on all the weapons. Why rev’s hammer #5 hits just as hard as warriors gs #5 and its on way less shorter cd? /shrug
ITT: people with durability runes and other unbalanced crap crying about how it would cause 1-meta build only like in sPvP. As if we don’t have 1, max 2 cheeese cookei cutter builds per class already. The only thing that will come out is a better balance and skill will matter more. There’s no need to be exactly 1:1 with sPvP. Having some customization over trinkets is fine.
If this can’t happen I’d b e happy if they disable certain runes and foods.
Runes aren’t the issue main issue, the lack of traitline viability and underpowered utilities is.
Until weak traitlines and utilities are brought in line with the commonly used ones we’ll continue having one to two “meta” builds running rampant in WvW (and other game modes).
That said, there are a lot of trash Runes in the game that could do with an update, but they’re not the main reason the build diversity sucks right now.
Didn’t say runes are the issue for the limited builds, but if WvW gearing works like in sPvP then certain overpowered runes will be removed. People who get carried obviously don’t like the idea and bring ridiculous statements like “it will hurt the build diversity”. There’s no diversity. The number of viable builds halved when they reworked the traits. And halved one more time with HoT. Only sigils vary.
And the thing is, with flexible skill system like in GW2 that allows build variety(on theory) it’s really hard to balance. It’s much easier for Anet to keep lots of trash traits and few goods ones.
I’d prefer to have pre-defined classes and some kind of balance that what is it atm.

Can someone verify if cpucores program acctually increase performance of this game?
No, it doesn’t. It unparks your cpu cores, which is unlikely that they are. But you can google “how to unpark cpu core” and do it anyway.
Makey sure you got the 64bit client. It helped me a lot although it seems with recent patch(es) I lost 50% of my fps. Just EAnet quality coding.
New helps close to nothing. It’s all CPU and GW2 requires good single-thread performance. Here http://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html
You already got i7 4790 though.
My issue with this is that its another nail in the coffin for base warrior. Right now in berserker mode you can land so many bursts that you permanently have 3 stacks of adrenal health. On base warrior you are punished very hard if you miss a burst.
From what I’m reading you get the adrenal health when you spend the adrenaline… it doesn’t say anything about requiring you to hit with your burst.
~EW
You have to hit. Tried few times without hitting and didn’t get the buff.
So many good single player games this year. BnS and BDO til CU and Crowfall come out.
You could easily have my 50 euro, EAnet, but not with that attitude.
Already working on it for over 1 year my kitten. They got absolutely nothing to show or talk about.
We’ve avoided adding this feature because we don’t believe it would be healthy for WvW. While we can appreciate why some players would want a feature like this, lots of other players only engage in WvW when, upon entering a WvW map, immediately see a commander icon to follow. We try and avoid adding features that can be used to intentionally exclude other players.
You killed the game mode and you say adding this and that won’t be healthy??? And rarely any of you posts here so how dare you to post this non sense anyway?
People will feel excluded? Non-guild members are already excluded from guild-raids, if anything invisible tag will reduce the “toxicity”. But I don’t expect you to understand anything, WvW is in bad state because of you, not us.
Do what you want to do, oh, you, all-might and all-knowing, EAnet. I’m done with this game and so are many.
Good and easy changes. What took you so long though? Anyway, you better do something big before end of January cos I’m out and don’t intend to look back.
And unlikely the others who thank you, I will not. You are the one you must thank me for playing the game mode in such bad state for 3 years.
First – who even designed those hairstyles? They are totally out of place, looks like they have been ripped out from some other very low quality game and just slapped on charrs.
And second – this? Clips with every charr face. And you expect people to pay?
It took them 3 years to change some numbers for the achievements. I don’t know why would anyone believe that they have been working on wvw major updates for over an year. If they actually ever do something USEFUL and I’m still around, they can thank me for still playing this garbage.
2000 gems with the 30% off. Such a bad joke, I forgot to laugh. Tha last two outfits look nice, actually the best they have been made in the last year so it’s really low and cash-grabby they put it in bundles to justify the price. I don’t even have HoT, so why do I have to pay for a glider? And outfits are outfits, can’t mix-match them with other armor…
edit:
HoT sales must be doing great, that’s why they unlocked the transfers for every server, and now those ridiculous priced bundles.

It’s been already a month and not a single reply was ever posted to at least acknowledge the raised problems. How is WvW your priority after HoT when you don’t even try to communicate at bare minimum? After 3 years of active playing I don’t give a kitten anymore. The game is bleeding-out like never before. No rewards, no balance, dumb mechanics. It was bad before but somehow you managed to made it even worse.
Not purchasing HoT until I see some kind of actions from you.(deleting my posts doesn’t count).

inb4 Krall will come and say I’m taking John Corpening’s statement out of context.
NCSoft still has Anet by the kittens. Nothing has changed really. Anet will still get less funding than what they have made, as most of it will go for Aion and other korean crap.
When MMO changes its business model you know the existing active player base has shrinked. But that’s all to blame on Anet for their neglect . Just saying..
Lies, lies and lies.
“Lets say a pile of bs just to hype WvW players and make them pre-order” – someone at Anet.
Nah, no fixes for WvW, too busy with HoT, although got plenty of time to make sPvP leagues and rankings. Something GvG guilds asked for ages.
What are you on about, OP? Don’t make me laugh… Ever followed Blizzcon or played WoW? If you were, you would know the vast amount of information they give on Blizzcon about their games or expansions. Close to nothing was shared on PAX. E3 was the event where they were supposed to show everything they have been working on and what is about to be finished. So between PAX and E3 they showed us some profession specs, the only new sPvP map and mode, and 1/2 of PvE map. That’s it. So don’t even compare it WoW, because Blizzard always shows their stuff and then starts pre-purchases The only vague one here is Anet.
But yes, HoT doesn’t worth $50 from what I’ve seen so far. If there’s more content I want to see it first.
“weekly live stream about the content neither weekly detailed blog post.” lol
And have you seen all the content to claim that there’s a lot? No, you haven’t.
There’s a good reason why people say there’s not enough content – and the reason is so far Anet have shown basically NOTHING. I wonder why…
So funny, let me laugh even harder.
No.
Who on earth thinks that this can be even considered a joke? Enforce it to everyone without option to turn off. Same crap every year. When will you learn? I suppose never…
