I suggest turn over the new borderlands to some kind of pve event which requires siege and the likes. Maybe even put baddie fake players out there to make it challenging for them. Then give wvw their old borderlands back so we can focus on fighting other players.
My suggestion is turn them over to pve events that would require building siege and the likes. Then simply give us the old BL’s back.
I see some of you are die hard happy about the new changes. Yet somehow I don’t think you run with a guild of any size nor have spent much time in wvw. Last night the queue for EB was like 60 and I visited the borderlands couldn’t find any people or tags so I had to go back to ESO. Because although ESO has a really bad lag problem they do not have any population issues that this game has. I’m kinda stuck because ESO’s lag sometimes makes that game unplayable and the messed up borderlands are making this game sometimes unplayable. So say what you want but facts are facts. The borderlands are empty and EB is full.
I’m from Yaks Bend, it’s true that EBG seems to be more popular, but that’s because people are more likely to be on a BL that they can achieve what they want, and EBG does just that. YBBL/BGBL/JQBL does have people on them, and I usually run with my guild quiet frequently, there’s only a couple things that bother me about the new maps, these things however don’t make me “HATE” it like most others seem to HATE IT ALL, ect. Those things being, getting back to the fight after a wipe or you dying takes longer and the keep lords are far stronger than those in EBG. But again, EBG has been EBG since launch, people are used to it, and like it better, and A LOT of people outright refuse to adapt, or figure out the maps, and just jump on the "New Maps SUCK’ train.
Are you some kind of psychopath? First you disagree with me then you agree with me. Get your story straight next time before you start criticizing and tearing down someone’s complaints.

Sounds like some of you would be completely happy if they gave you fake players to fight along with those messed up borderlands. Like I said we want pvp not pve.
Well that solution cant work because the boss is scaled to a 40 man group and you try to assign 10 people to kill it while the other 30 deal with pvp. So people who want to do pvp must do pve so they don’t die in pvp. They should be able to ignore the keep lord and fight the bads but they cant ignore him because he’s too strong to ignore.
What do you mean should? You can ignore the SM lord perfectly fine if you dont want to cap the place. He’s barely any stronger than before – just a ton more hp and a breakbar.
The keep lords on desert border is alot harder to deal with due to mechanics, but people are being kittens when fighting them. Its as if they never played PvE or something. Bay lord for example is the simplest lord ever. Normally everyone rush straight in like the 1111111 zergers they are and get feared into lava and knocked around 360 degrees. If you pull the boss to the left or right side however, you can smack her around like a baby because all her mechanics break – she can only fear you into safety and stairs actually stop the knockback. Plus no gargoyles all around you.
Its not that they never played pve its they don’t want to play pve in the wvw map. The numbers don’t lie look at EB’s population compared to borderlands. Even when your borderlands are under attack no one really goes there to respond.
i think u miss the point. the lord does not need to act like a pve dungeon boss as wvw is a game mode where the players are supposed to defend and not a raid boss that takes long to kill. most of us actually loved the fights in the lordsroom. those fights sometimes went on for hours and u know what that actually needed tactics…running in, timing banners, zergbusting , kiting, rushing, pushing and all that was great fun. killing a lord for 2-5 minutes that hits really hard is getting in the way of lordroom fights as it is all about his skills…
I really havent found this to be a problem, quite the opposite. The upscaling of lord hp when facing a 40+ zerg gives a smaller size zerg a fighting chance in the lordroom. When it comes to SM, it definetly can still create hour long fights, except the tactics has changed somewhat – you let a smaller force slowly bring down the lord while the larger fight.
As the above mentioned I find mechanics like gargoyles, blowers, stone spikes, slow thingies and barricades faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar more annoying than keep lords.

if you can’t even beat an NPC boss with 10 people, what makes you think you can beat enemy players?
The keep champs are no longer complete pushovers like they used to be, which is good. But at the same time they can still be taken down by a duo like the other guy mentioned.
Every single complaint I’ve seen so far about too much PvE and not enough PvP actually boils down to “I can’t ktrain objectives anymore cos it takes too long to break down a wall and too long to kill a boss”. If you actually want enemy players to come and fight you, you need to give them time to notice that you’re there, champ bosses taking longer to kill help that goal.
Dude I been playing wvw for over 200 hours. And no I haven’t tried to kill the bosses with 2 people but when we show up with 30 and it takes 5 minutes to kill him well I figured there’s no way 10 can do it. So one of my other points is the enemy never makes it to defend because it takes them forever to fight the environment just to arrive at the scene. Its way too much hassle and WVW players don’t want it.
you gotta go into EB since no one really wants to play in the borderlands. I don’t know the status of your server but depends some are full of players and some are nearly empty. It is also down right now because of the spvp tournament.
These new borderlands are too much pve for the players taste. PvEnvironment We enter WVW for pvp not the environment battle and these maps are well exactly that. You have to fight the map itself the atmosphere the way its designed and then a tough boss at the keep. It seems everyone just avoids it now because why bother going through all that hassle just for some pvp. We would be glad to fight if we could freakin find someone to kill. I think you should hand them over to the pve players and give us the old borderlands back or at least some that aren’t so confusing and the keep bosses shouldn’t be that hard. If a 10 man group can get into a keep they should be able to take it.
You also need to address population imbalance issues definitely in Edge of Mists since its not locked to any particular server. Maybe its time to group servers for WvW or something like that. Other then those things keep up the good work and keep looking at balance issues for spvp if you want it to truly succeed.
So is this mod legal or not?
Learn what strafe is? Do you not play this game? Strafe and what happens? Your character runs forward with his head turned sideways. Now that wasn’t too hard was it? Combat strafe is different of course but then again combat is different as well. The RMB issue is because this is an action combat game not another tab target game. Which requires a different control scheme then what was invented 20 years ago for the first gen mmo’s.
……
Strafe is running with your head turned sideways.
….No it’s not…and if you continue to insist this is so, your credibility is nil.
While an alternative to the constant need for RMB use is not something I would object to, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the way the game implements strafing (it should be slower than a forward run).
DUDE I just downloaded the game to make sure I wasn’t delusional. GUESS WHAT? My character is running with his head turned forward when he is strafing. Just like I said. I cannot freaking believe the amount of people who purposively trolled this thread. He is also running about 40% slower when he strafes. So yes strafe is all messed up in this game. Maybe it was a balancing issue in beta but at least acknowledge common sense or quit trolling people’s threads on games you don’t even play.
DUDE, you made a topic about something before even checking if they have done anything about it. You said you haven’t played game for a while, so your brain randomly picked up a thought of how you had trouble strafing in gw2 and you came to make a topic not even knowing if there was anything done about it, DUDE!
Plus, running left and right while your head is facing mob = strafing! DUDE
Looks to me you’re trolling your own thread.
Not a random thought it was the reason I stopped playing and they have done nothing about it probably because of players like yourself who see nothing wrong with it. And would rather troll someone and lie to them about the current situation then come up with a solution.
try strafe in RL and then come back saying you can strafe as fast as running forward…..
Football players do it and I can do it. Look at ESO,Rift,Swtor,WOW and see how agile your character is and how well they can move around then look at GW2 and see how sluggish and handicap you feel. The character is suppose to be more agile then myself not less. The bad part is GW2 is sorta of an action combat game and Rift,Swtor,WOW are not yet they allow better freedom of movement. I really like this game but just can no longer stand playing character that is sluggish.

Couldn’t this be posted in your existing thread?
Well I would have but everyone seems to be concentrating on the strafe side and ignoring the most important which is the camera lock.
So apparently camera lock was in the interface during beta and they removed it. It also worked very well with the way the game is setup. We want camera lock back.
Last I remembered the actual strafe keybind was really bad. You could do a turn while holding down the RMB which would result in a much better strafe. But then that’s not what the game is calling strafe. The actual strafe from the game is really slow compared to the one you can do while holding down the RMB.
Hmm did they fix strafe its been a while since I played and strafe was very sluggish and felt like an 80 year old with a broken leg.
Ok its been a few years its time to see that Strafe is just all messed up and you need to make a UI that is compatible with camera lock. Making people hold down the RMB is too much oriented with a tab target non action combat game. This is an action combat game so I would like a character that can move better then myself please. Why does my character strafe like he has a broken leg? Strafe is running with your head turned sideways. So basically there should be at least 90% speed at this not 20%.
I think you need to put in different control schemes for this game. Gamepad support would be helpful as well. It is really annoying how you made strafe completely useless. It would be nice if you could turn with AD keys a lot faster that way I’m not forced to use a mouse. A turn rate similar to Rift,Swtor, WOW would be very helpful. Or a control scheme similar to ESO. Your team has done so well in a lot of other areas. Its about time you addressed this properly. You should also look at Age of Wushu’s control schemes and get some ideas.
hrm the 1 skill autoattacks? you better not be wasting my time
Anyone know software available so I can set my mouse to press keystrokes? I’m not buying a 60$ mouse to play this game I’ll just buy ESO and call it a day. I would like to assign my LMB to press number 1 when I use it and vice versa I would like to press 1 and it would emulate my LMB.
giving the amount of skills and shortcuts for mobility, I doubt you really need anything beyond a normal keyboard and mouse if it comes to gw2.
but for other mmos, well, may come in handy.
Yea the ability to have 100% mobility and use a skill is nearly impossible in this game. A gaming mouse is the answer. Try moving forward, dodging, turning 90 right then using the 8 skill and tell me this game is mobile. People with a gaming mouse have a huge advantage and even more so anyone who can figure out how to get the joystick to work properly. Other mmo’s don’t have this same problem.
Take a lesson from ESO, Tera, DCUO, Darkfall. These games have mouse based combat and allow the user full control of the character while letting them spam abilities without being hindered. WOW, Rift, SWTOR all have the ability to use nothing but the keyboard and have full control over your character. This game fails at this by not allowing you to customize your mouse buttons. Again I ask the question how do I use the 1 skill and get full movement? Since I enjoy pvp I need to be constantly using this skill and its just not worth playing this game like this.
I first started this game using nothing but my keyboard for pvp. Well that worked great until I wanted to turn around. When you try to turn with a keyboard you look like a one legged kitten it takes forever, yet in a full run if you use a mouse then you can turn on a dime. The problem I am having is when I want to use my mouse I cannot find an appropriate button for my 1 skill that will allow me full control of my movement and the ability to use the skill at the same time. I’ve come to the conclusion that this game has the most elementary control system and needs an update bad. Of all the mmo’s on the market this problem only exists here.
Here’s a few ideas for the game.
1. Would love to see a faster turn rate for keyboard users. This game probably has the slowest keyboard turn rate on the current mmo market.
2. Different color commander tags. Let the players decide what color the tag is for their viewing only.
3. Target nearest enemy player.
4. Camera can automatically adjust for terrain angles.
5. Jump wont cancel casting that can be done while moving.
6. Using cata’s or trebs on your own castles should do damage to the gates and walls. This is common sense here. You can prevent abuse by autobanning any toons that do over x amount of friendly castle damage per day or something.
7. Unit collision would add more realism to the game.
8. Cannons,oil, mortars can be repaired after 5 minutes of non combat status.
9. Combat logs should show dots, buffs, debuffs, interrupts and maybe more.
10. Need the ability to chane ui size and locations.
11. the ability to move skills around on the toolbar or save specific hotkeys for each toon
Thank you.
ok Anet please pay attention to what HOD is doing. They faced FC for the past two weeks and they completely steamrolled them all week long. Now all of a sudden their players aren’t steamrolling FC all week. I believe they are purposely tanking the scores so they wont have to play against more competitive servers. I wouldn’t be complaining if the scores were close before but they really need to be in the same division as Blackgate or Jade Quarry. The only reason the scores are this close this week is because they are TANKING. This crap sucks for FC and its just stupid to continue to keep them in our division.
Omg your giving up already? All you gotta do is get the servers in their proper divisions so there can be competition instead of faceroll.
I really believe week 7 will have too much of a negative impact on the losing servers. Not because they lost, but because they were completely facerolled.
FYI, 2 players from any major league baseball team can easily beat 18 players from any high school baseball team. I’m very glad a lot of you are not developers because this game would be complete garbage. Give anet time to place everyone in the correct division so the matches will be fun. Problem is I fear week 7 is gonna have too much of a negative impact on the losing servers.
Don’t be so closed minded. You think we should cancel baseball because a high school team cannot defeat a major league team? They just need to make adjustments to who belongs in what division and then it will be fun for everyone. I cannot believe anyone would suggest that we just scrub divisions and let the major league players play against high school. Its just plain silly. Divisions are necessary to keep games fair and fun. How many high school teams would exist if they had to face major league teams half the time?
As of right now there is only one possible server that could benefit from a week 7 match and that’s stormbluff isle. The current divisions need to be adjusted and from what I’m seeing this has been an absolute slaughter. Right now Henge has enough points to beat both the 4 and 5 ranked teams put together. You got a lot of players not enjoying wvw because there is little competition. You should scrub this as a test run give everyone some rewards and move us into next season. Or put the top three teams against each other so they can have a little competition instead of just rolling everything. Either people are gonna pay to move to another server or they gonna lose interest in this final week.
