Guild Wars 2

Only a WvW player skips through all the patchnotes just to find the ones related to WvW or their class.

Only a WvW player kills rabbits, chickens, etc and think that is enough PvE for the day

nalenb.1425:

Only a WvWer sees the trebs in Straits of Devastation and thinks “terrible placement”

Only a WvW player doesn’t know where Straits of Devastation is and has to search the map to find it.

Rinzler.8072:

Shaojack.3871:

Only a WvW player has 2000 hours played but still broke, no map completion or legendary and still sees FOTM as Flavor of the Month.

Man, i guess i wvw too much cause this is true lol

I actually had to google “gw2 FOTM” to realize it’s fractals of the mist… D’oh!

Ironvos.9014:

Only a wvw player would forgo completing the monthly cause of the 7 fractals that need to be done

True story. Never done it, not interested. Miss a monthly? Oh well, who cares…

anonymouse.9053:

I think my map completion, on my level 80 guardian, is around 30%. lol

Mine is 13% :P Jumped into wvw at lvl 2 right after the tutorial. I only explored half of Lions Arch and the remaining few % were because I had to run all the way to Orr to get karmagear.

Can we start posting something other than QQ about blobs? It’s getting lame, boring and immature. Few people from piken complaining about blobs while the other servers give lame excuses and reasons, and complain about the complainers. Infinite loop. It’s just going back and forth and the same things are repeated in every post.

The blobs were already there, you just couldn’t see them. It’s not like the max limit of players in WvW has been increased.

game dev company I used to know fired one of their best because some idiot player reported him saying something that could’ve been interpreted wrong. After watching this video…

wtf

Anet, whoever this guy is, he just seriously damaged your company’s rep. I’m not saying anything, I’m just saying.

Don’t harass the guy. The moment you do that you’re also wrong.

Voice your opinion and let anet take care of it. And if they don’t you’re always welcome to quit/boycott/whatever

To me the most insulting thing is the attitude.

“I made this mode i decide how you play.”

Pathetic.

It’s extremely important that we stay true to our philosophy that you should be able to play Guild Wars 2 the way you want to play the game

Nough said.

Came across a very good Thief from Warforgis? [WAR] today on baruch border just outside piken spawn tower

I was pretty upset that you decided to focus fighting the other person instead of me

he is just an average thief, and very imature.
check attached the drama he make if he lose the fight

Lol I remember that guy!! I encountered him too last week lol. Same immature behaviour.

Wow!

If I were there and he said “I’m watching you guys violate my game mode”, I would’ve sooo said “since when do you care?” He wouldn’t need to come there and complain about how we “ruin” his game mode if he paid more attention to WvW and actually did stuff the players are interested in. You don’t have to do everything we want, but come on.

Cyhann.2609:

Seriously you GvG guys are getting kitten annoying lately. You are constantly crying in
every stream, every third forum post, every post about bloodlust and now you can’t
handle an A-Net Dev who simply was standing around you and was watching you?
And all that for something you should have known prior to the game that it won’t
be included any time soon. Shouldn’t you try and polish your own image a little?
If this keeps on, GvG might really become a banable offense, and I doubt you would
like that, but this way I can imagine that the devs are fed up with this scene.

If you look at the screenshots you would know that he wasn’t just “standing around and watching”…

I hope it’s all a joke or some odd mistake, because it’s really weird to see a dev act like that when theres already heated discussions about gvg/wvw on the forums. It makes them seem delusional/ignorant/stuck-in-their-own-bubble (just keeping it real)

So… I havent checked this thread in a few days, but it seems it’s still about the same old: every server accusing the other servers of blobbing, when they BOTH/ALL do it. Just stop it already. You all should try staying away from this thread for a few days, then come back. Then you’ll realize how asinine this looks. Makes almost everyone (from all servers) in this thread look like an idiot. Especially the ones posting screenshots of the piechart, trying to brag. Hahhaha

Monsoon.2589:

Just because there is no monthly fee doesn’t mean that whatever they do to the game is alright. That’s what the forums are here for, for feedback. Maybe they’ve already talked about this during their meetings, but maybe they haven’t and this is new insight to them. You never know, and that’s why I post my opinion.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, which means that people will never completely agree on something, same goes with this. To me it seems like quite the opposite of what they’ve been advertising for years before the game came out.

I just want to remind people of Colin’s quote from the GW2 manifesto “I swung a sword, I swung a sword again, heeey I swung it again, that’s great”. The same sarcasm/principle applies to this. “I ranked up on this char, I ranked up again on that char, heeey I ranked up again, that’s great”.

Ofcourse we don’t know all the details, but from the little info we have, to me, it just looks like an alternative leveling system to keep people grinding and bored for life. It takes the special out of it. Like I said, I don’t see how people would eventually care about what rank they are if they have 8 different ranks. Maybe I’m wrong, but even so, I think they should think about it, if they haven’t already.

We’ll see how it turns out.

Theftwind.8976:

Think about it this way.

Server “A” only GvGs against Server “B”. That is all they do for 7 days is GvG while server “C” plays the game as designed by capping all the objectives. At the end of those 7 days which server would have the highest score? Anyone care to do the math?

The answer to that question should end this argument.

Do you maybe live in an alternate universe?

If you’re going to give us a math problem that’s supposed to answer a question in the real world, you should give us an example of something in the real world. Since when has any server ONLY gvg’d another server for 7 days?

Maybe you don’t realize, but a gvg just takes about 20-45 minutes and most guilds do 1-3 per week (if any). 3×0.75 /= 7×24, I’m pretty sure that’s about as obvious as it gets.

No guild does only GvG. GvG guild = WvW guild, it’s just that sometimes they go to a remote area of the map to have a balanced fight with an enemy guild for 30 minutes, and then continue with wvw. So for 30 minutes you’re missing, 10-20 players out of 100 or so that can be on the map.

bladeebloopblop-blipblip-pow

Might as well post gibberish since it fits well in the context; meaningless pointing fingers from all sides… every week…

So… I remember when Blacktide was in a similar situation and the ppl that hopped to SFR went all kitteny and all saying this would never happen to SFR etc etc etc.

What now?

Anyways, now the “I told you so” is out of the way :P I doubt T1 will stay screwed like this for that long. It doesn’t seem as bad as T8. But yeah, nobody wants to face Vizunah, because, honestly they are just the most boring server to fight against in the EU ladder, ever. Period. No discussion. This results in nobody wanting to go to T1. I think most people view T2 as the real T1 and T1 is just like a bad trip when you took too many drugs. Seems fun but once you’re there you’ll want to kill yourself.

Fuzzion.2504:

Go and post this on your EU forums 0_o

Lol, Americans

What is this “fun” you speak of? I know no such thing

In all seriousness, so far I’ve had less fun than I imagined was possible. I hoped the season would do atleast some good to the wvw scene, but so far I don’t really see it. It looks pretty much exactly the same as before, with the exception that you now know which servers you will face in the future and with more lag.

Now the season is here, I don’t see it’s purpose. Anet says things will stay the same after the season ends, so what’s going to be the difference between a wvw season and when it’s not in season? From my pov, it begins to look more and more like an excuse to not update WvW for 7 weeks wrapped in a giftbox. The achievements are ok I guess, but really that’s how it should’ve been from the beginning anyway.

The only thing keeping me in this game atm is my guild. These days I only login for either a 3-hour wvw raid or a GvG. Other than that the game lost my interest.

The report function needs to be updated. You only get a few options to choose which 99% of the time don’t even relate to why you’re actually reporting someone.

Atleast put an “other” option which a textarea where you can explain why you’re reporting someone.

It means 1 or 2 or 3. go learn the basic mechanics of how to read and write the English language. I think they still teach that stuff in first grade.

“I’m done talking to you”…..Good. That is the most awe inspiring, intelligent thing you have typed so far. Way to go, sunshine!

lmao, you finally got it! 1-3 = 1 or 2 or 3 indeed. good job. Took a while

lmao, you still don’t get it! 1-3 = 1 or 2 or 3 I’ll beak it down fer ya, cuz I really am a nice guy.
The statement 1 or 2 or 3, means in very plain, simple English, that it COULD BE 1.
Or it COULD BE 2.
Or it COULD BE 3.
Not seeing the plain, simple connection here?
What this all means is that you said 1
And you also said 2.
(but wait I’m not finished yet)
And you also said 3.

lol

Lol. Because you’re fun.

How does 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 per WEEK equal:

Server “A” only GvGs against Server “B”. That is all they do for 7 days is GvG

That’s what I replied to, and you’re just talking around it. You are trying to tell me what 1-3 means, when we obviously already agree on that, stop repeating it. What you don’t seem to understand is that it’s contradicting what was said earlier (the post I initially quoted). Someone said gvgs are done constantly all day everyday, I said they don’t. And you are?

Thanks for the great entertainment

Ahri.8204:

Do not think Jade Sea is anything different from Vizu. They might have 20% less active players but they mindlessly blob. They get destroyed during the day, but when the night comes they start maphopping with a hundred people at 3 am, crushing castles with 2 defenders using 15 golems…

Not trying to be mean here, just keeping it real, but the actions these french servers are known for only kinda confirm the stereotypes we all have about the French, no?… Sounds mean I know, but it’s just the way it is. Every time I hear such stories I wonder if in their heads they’re like “YEAAAAH WE’RE WINNING THIS kitten YEAAH WE DA BEST!” I really want to know lol. Same as jumping on corpses when you win a 100vs20 fight.. Do they really think they won an honorable fight? Or those reasons they gave Opt for refusing a GvG. Those excuses are so transparent, it’s unbelievable they even said that.

Again, not flaming or trying to be the bad guy here, but it’s just a fact that the french servers have the most negative reputation than any other server. And I’m just trying to figure out why. Maybe they live in this bubble or something, I don’t know, where they think everyone is jealous of them (?) But I could never be jealous of THAT. I’d be ashamed of myself.

Sure, I guess they deserve some props for staying “number 1” (doesn’t exist, but if it pleases them) for so long. But hearing all these stories about how they do it is not really inspirational. I’d rather lose and have great fights, winning even being outnumbered, than “winning” everything with my eyes closed steamrolling smaller groups like they aren’t even there. I’d really like to know their thoughts.

TL;DR
Don’t read it if you can’t be open minded

laquito.5269:

Honestly I feel no pity with Deso or SFR at all, you know what you were about to face when you entered T1. I still remember when ER was kinda stuck in T1 and when we were finally about to drop to T2, SFR purposely stopped fighting and lost, so that they had better preconditions for the WvW reset, which didn’t take place as we all know. Fortunately Jade is pushing this week, thus making us lose some more points. Actually I quite like the situation at the moment. T1 is stuck, but so is T2 and thats a good thing, because this way we have nice fights with Kodash and we’ll never have to face Vizunah again. I’d love Jade to move up a tier, but I guess that won’t happen. Maybe Piken will take their place once holidays are over…

Anyway, thats what you get, when you’re on an artificial bandwagon server, so now stop whining and live with it.

Most selfish post ever. This post alone proofs Anet has to do something about it. Desolation, SFR, Elona, Kodash, Jade see in my opinion are ‘equally’ strong server at the moment and good opponents. What gives elona more the right to have ‘good fights’ then Deso or SFR? Instead of bashing us, that it’s our own fault, you should congratulate us for trying. Many weaks desolation, managed to get incredible close to vizunah (that alone is a massive achievement). Without us, your T2 would never have been that fun. And now that guild drama’s come (they would have happened to elona too, if you remained 2 months against vizunah square, so what gives you the right to bash us, when it’s just a matter of luck who is in t1 and who’s not?), we all deserve a drop.

I agree. Plus, 3 servers HAVE to be in T1, otherwise it isn’t T1… It’s not like Deso and SFR can just “leave T1” whenever they want and leave Vizunah behind…. The servers in T2 have to move up for them to move down.

But months ago when SFR was on the rise and BT was falling, everyone that was on Blacktide already told you that this would happen. It happened later than expected, but it’s exactly what we thought would happen. T1 breaks servers, it’s been known for a while now (hate to blame VS again but they do contribute to it a lot). You still wanted to give it a go anyways, props for that, but pretty much 2 weeks in T1 I could’ve told u that it wasn’t gonna happen.

Yeah that was a surprise for us all I think ^^

lezard.6071:

Also, if he’s trying to do a jumping puzzle, he obviously doesn’t want to fight and you were being a nuisance, he was just trying to make some tokens, for a legendary, i suppose, while you were being annoying.

Give the guy some credit, atleast he felt bad about it.

If someone runs past me, especially in a jp I generally leave them alone. If someone attacks me when I am not in the mood for a fight I start of with /no which would translate for them to “Piken Square invader disagrees” (without hitting them obviously) and if they don’t stop… I just run away. Then you have the occasional player who will follow you till the end of the world, I then eventually turn around and fight.

Quote: creating maps is our most labor intensive process

And yet endless Jump Puzzle 2 instalments are made for each event, even the newest one is just a jump puzzle thinly disguised as a platform game for 4 year olds- as can be attested by my neighbour’s 4 year old playing it after I showed it to them.

If you can design a map for an event then you can design one for wvw – oh wait, terrain without jump puzzles in it must be a lot MORE difficult to design than one with……

Would be great to get something more than hot air in interviews with ‘promises’ – it’s been 7-8 months now.

I just got an image of ANet’s dev team’s office in my head- the part time wvw dev is stuck in a corner at the bottom of the room, which looks like a vertical jump puzzle with all the other devs having fun and enjoying themselves, but the poor wvw dev has no legs and can’t come play so the other kids jump around and make fun of him.

That’s kind of what it feels like with wvw.

Jumping puzzles are a lot different than huge wvw maps that need to be balanced so every team has equal opportunities on the map. Thats why the borders are copied. It’s an imbalanced map, and giving all servers the same homemap gives each server the exact same opportunities. EB is not perfectly balanced, but more than the borders.

And in your universe, GvG only happens one day a week, when the rest of us know better. And apparently in your universe, an entire map just simply does not get flipped in 30 minutes by server ‘C’. But little do you know, that when A B & C are all fighting on the same map, that said map does not get turned all one color, assuming equal numbers of players, or course.

- 1 day? Go read what I said
- You’re pretending server C never does any gvg
- Those 30 minutes per 2 guilds (40 ppl) really don’t have as much as an impact as the other 23.5 hours (300 ppl)
- If server A and B have 2 guilds gvging eachother, instead of 100vs100vs100 it’ll be 100vs80vs80. If guilds can beat others 20vs30-40-50 (depending on if its a guild or pugs), then 80vs100 for 30 minutes should be nothing to cry about. Do I cry when a guild is gvging while I wvw? Hell I don’t even notice it. Why should I care

Before gvgs, ppl complained that after monday wvw is boring, a server already won, blablabla. Now we have something interesting to do for 30 minutes during those last days and people’s heads explode.

Maybe people think it’s 30 guilds doing gvgs at the same time, all day every day or something.

You don’t need to post the same message 2 or 3 times.

You also didn’t link the timestamp correctly (in none of your double/trippleposts)

Apparently you can’t do &t= on these forums -.-

It starts to get interesting at about 55minutes

Ohoho this is such an elbow from the sky.

I haven’t read about what’s up in T8, but THIS should catch their attention

Winning

Why would WvW progress be characterbound? It’s 1 account, 1 player, it should show the player’s progress and skill/ranking, not the character. I honestly couldn’t care less about which character is what rank, I’m more interested in WHO is what rank.

2 different games obviously, but hopefully a good analogy: It would be like in League of Legends where your level and/or rank is determined by which champion you play….

Remember, this is ranking, not character levels. These are 2 completely different ways of showing someone’s progression and IMO it should be treated this way. Because now it just looks like another leveling system to me. A way to increase the level cap without actually increasing it. It just makes the ranking system less interesting and less valuable. Why would anyone care what rank they are when they will have 8 different ranks if they play on different characters?

Goloith.6349:

Nuzt.7894:

When did players get so lazy that they expect everything to be account wide, or retroactive.

Lazy huh? I’m sorry most of us that want account bound have real lives outside of the game and have a job, relationships, kids, or etc. So yes lazy indeed. It’s lazy people like you that can’t post a concrete argument for character bound.

Nuzt also forgot that ArenaNet’s marketing strategy was “no more grinding” and “no wasting player’s time” on whatever, etc etc etc. The only thing I noticed where they kept their word is the leveling curve. (and the questing system, but we’re not talking about that).

Still the best MMO out there imo, but that’s because I find MMORPG’s in general utter ****.

Vistal.2906:

So you all think char bound wvw progression is crap? So people can come in rank up any char and still have the same ability’s at lvl 1 as your lvl 80? that’s wrong! I surely dont want to see a lvl 1 on siege fully buffed doing the same crap and damage as a lvl 80 fully buffed. Char bound ability’s is the way to go for wvw.

What?

We’re not talking about characterlevels. That obviously is already in the game and doesn’t need any changing. This is the ranking system we’re talking about. I don’t see how this will or should affect your characterlevels and which abilities you can use….

Example: In sPvP we’re all lvl 80, but let’s pretend that you would have to level up there too. While playing spvp you also have a scoreboard (if you press B key) which shows how many points you have gathered and what place you are on your team (got the most points? then you’re #1). I don’t see how THAT and characterlevels have anything to do with eachother.

I don’t know what exactly this ranking will be about, can’t find a lot (or any) info about it on the gw2 site. But when I hear ranking, I think about some sort of leaderboard showing how “skilled” a player is. There are enough characterbound things in the game, levels, map completion and I can go on. Where is the feature that shows the account progression? You could say these are the “achievements”, but only you can see that, and nobody cares which achievements you have.

Would you pay 15 $ a month ?

Short answer: No

This game, especially if you mostly play WvW, is not even close to worth it. Sorry

Leorcyn.1063:

This is amazing how you think you know French players are different from any other player in the world.
And you still believe that we purposely avoid the fun, just to win.

You do realise you sound totally delusional right ?

There is no incentive to win a matchup, except for the tiny gold medal on a website. Why on earth would French players bore themselves to death just for that ? You can’t be serious with that thesis.

@Centrix : you want thoughts of a French player (not playing much lately cause well … you know, its kittene atm), here they are. I’ve never been ashamed of our gameplay. I’m immensly proud to be part of Grand Cross and VS, the French community built something truly exceptionnal.
I do not think everyone is jealous of us, people who do not come on those forums have actually no idea what is going on, and they certainly don’t care who the ennemies are : they’re red, they’re dead.
However, for some of us, occasionally wandering around this part of the official forums, we’ve seen a constant form of hatred since september. Be it because we win or because we’re French or because we play in a way you don’t like or because in your fantasies you play differently or because you thought the rules are to be decided by you. Anyway, most of it had (still has) nothing to do in a videogame, even if you consider them valid.
It kind of glued the French community together (not around the fact that we’re French as some pretend, but around the fact we’re bullied), at least on VS.

So in the end … yeah sometimes we might steamroll a group of 5 with 25 (use the numbers you want). As I said : red is dead. We’re not going to stop, send a troup of 5.
I’ve been crushed by a group of 30 when soloing camps : it’s the game.

Stereotypes are a natural part of a game involving national servers : we do like to say that the germans are the best at the bunker strategy. Is it true or is it some distorted reality because of the prism of our national environment ?
This part is most certainly bigger than the game.

tl;dr : VS players are no different than any other, they play for the fun. Wether you decide they have fun or not is irrelevant.
Some VS players are not ashamed of their gameplay at all, like me. I say “some” for the sake of “not speaking for the whole server”, but I’m pretty sure the real number is 100%.

Thanks for an honest reply I appreciate it

I was trying to explain how it looks like from our side and I know that looks can be deceiving. That’s why I always try to understand the other side’s point of view as well. I try to be as open minded as possible, but I’m also very direct (straight to the point). And especially when communicating through text, it can be interpreted in the wrong way.

It seems like American politics. 84% of Americans agree there should be gun control, yet the bills are not being passed, because 16% of Americans don’t agree (and think they are the majority). Anet implements things that 80% of the players don’t want, because the other 20% that scream louder do.

I just wanted to point out that this is stupid and not true. Here in America we love our guns, and we have them because of the second amendment, not because people yell loudly. Also probably because people know deep down that when law abiding citizens have more guns, theres less crime. Dont believe that statistic? I offer you a book which documents lots of gun laws, and their effect on violent crime rates over 30 years. It’s called More Guns, Less Crime, by John Lott. Similar statistics can be viewed just about everywhere. But the basic point is that gun laws dont stop criminals from getting guns, and as a criminal are you going to go rob someplace where you think you’ll probably get shot, or a place where you know no one else is going to have a gun? This common sense thinking is something even stupid criminals can determine for themselves, I’m surprised liberals cant figure it out.

Stop watching Fox News. I’d really get some facts straight. I could go way offtopic here and take an hour to tell you everything I know, but it’s not my responsibility to know your facts, it’s yours.

I’d recommend shows like The Young Turks. Atleast they’re reliable, unlike most of American mainstream media with their so called liberal corespondants. Please. And just because I (currently) don’t live there, doesn’t mean I don’t have any real facts, numbers and statistics.

Go check it out.

PS. Not trying to be an kitten here. Just getting straight to the point. If you do research, see the stats and still disagree, that’s fine by me.

“that place I’d rather not go to”

wish.1027:

The statistics say more gun control laws = more violent crime.
Theres nothing to argue about here, and theres no opinions. Just cold, hard facts.

Yeah, that’s my mistake, sorry. Somehow I missed these guys when bankers were changed from being always available at safe points to being part of the upgrade path at keeps, which is why they are only in a couple of the maps.

Since the bankers are only supposed to be available at keeps after an upgrade, we’ll be removing them from the safe areas in a future build.

Umm… How is getting rid of the bank making it so a player never has to leave WvW per your quote from 27 days ago:

“As far as being able to play just in WvW and never have to leave if they don’t want to, that most definitely is our goal, and I think we’ve done a fairly good job at that so far.”

Please just put banks on all BLs. I shouldn’t have to log out and then get back in queue to use the bank. Removing them is in direct opposition to your alleged goal.

Because banks aren’t being removed and you can still access your bank via crafting stations in your home borderland?

Dude….

If you’re in ANOTHER borderlands and you need to go to a bank you CAN’T if you don’t have your keep properly upgraded. Which means you would have to go to another map to get to a bank and then possibly queue to get back.

Dude nothing, they’re not being removed. You can still access a bank if you control a keep with an upgrade (as is clearly stated to be the intent, and is something you clearly understand).

If you don’t control a keep with an upgrade, then work on controlling a keep with an upgrade. If that isn’t an option, then it’s likely you don’t have the numbers to be competitive on that map at that point of time, and you should consider switching anyway.

If it’s really a huge deal to you, and if you really only ever WvW, then keep your character at Ebonhawke and log out while in WvW rather than using the LA portal.

This is not a big deal, dude.

This makes no sense. Why would you motivate people to leave a map where there aren’t enough players in the first place. If anything, they need to find a way to motivate people to stay (which they tried with the breakout event, but it doesn’t help that much).

Where I enter WvW does not matter (and it shouldn’t), if it’s Lions Arch (which it isn’t), heart of the mist or some other random map. The point of the fact is, people have to leave the border/eb to get to a bank and then return. Why don’t you seem to understand this? You’re giving an alternative “solution” which still involves leaving and rejoining WvW.

I’m not saying they have to add banks to the spawn, I understand that they don’t want to make it too easy, fine, then maybe try something different. Something that doesn’t motivate people to leave or get annoyed.

I don’t use the bank that often, so I can wait a while before I have to access mine, but there’s enough other people out there that think that how it currently is set up is too inconvenient, are glad that atleast 1 borderlands has bank and that removing them makes them go “wtf”

Pardon me, my reply wasn’t exactly ment to be taken super srsly and I don’t truly think he represents whole Blacktide as it is. I suppose there are no space for jokes in this particular forum :<

How dare you be facetious and attempt to use ‘humor’ in this forum?

If this were EVE I’d tell you that “internet spaceships are srs bsns”.

But internet spaceships really are srs bsns! How else do you think the data get’s transported through the interwebz?

Pannonica.5378:

Yeah, lets just file this under hasty reaction/being drunk/tired out and move on.

Still no reason for a guild leader to post such accusations in such a manner.

Respect for posting here and clarifying

I’m having a lot of fun with this new matchup.

Yea.. really funny when you tick with 600+ the whole time and there are nearly no opponents to fight.

Not.

Lol I cant believe he actually posted a screenshot of the score at like what 4:00am or something with 0 opposition. It’s like a guy boasting how he stole a toy from a baby… at 4am when the baby was sleeping. “yeah this is fun!” what? * mind is blown *

But its an effed up matchup anyways, especially for Gunnar. But let’s just make the best of it. And stop bragging about things. You maybe think it makes you look like a big shot, but in reality it only makes people think you’re immature and tripping on ego. Same thing with complaining about the same thing over and over again. Just say it once and make sure you do some self-reflection first to make sure you’re not accusing your enemy of something you do as well.

So, will we be able to see what the ranks are of our own allies? As of now, we can only see the titles of our enemies (<servername> Raider)…

But personally, and I think a lot of people would agree with me, it’s more interesting to see the ranks/titles of our allies than of my enemies (since we don’t know who they are anyways, every Raider/Invader/whatever is the same person to me)

People probably already suggested this, but I’ll post it anyways

I only experience lag when ppl zerg like crazy. Maybe you should think about it.

Anet said they want to reduce zerging. They should leave the lag in lol. Once they fix that, there is no more hope.

The only lootbags Piken are getting from RS are from holiday schoolkid random Zerg’s. Congratulations for that u whiny trolls. We’ve got many many new PVE-Player’s which wanne try out new WvW functions.

In the last days I’m always seeing Piken instantly running away
from our real Raid-Zergs.

Our last Matchup Enemys had some Balls at least and fight like men.
But you guys are just ridiculous.

I prefer fights with AR. These fights are more exciting. Too bad that they are often giving up so fast and changing to a different homeland.

Cry me a river Piken!

I don’t know who you’re fighting then lol. You sure it’s not just a dream you had after dying so much? It is understood that dreams often contain fragments of the previous day so you learn/get better at what you were doing. Sounds like you wanted to win in WvW so badly that you possibly came up with such a crazy dream.

It’s best to just report the hackers to ArenaNet. Posting these on the forums does more harm than good. ANet doesn’t read them on the forums, only players do, who can’t do anything about it anyways. It only increases the chance of flamewars.

Oh wow that’s great news!

Also, I like how you post more, even if it is from home. It’s nice to see you take some of your personal time to answer some of the threads here.

Instead of keeping us completely in the dark, not knowing if you guys even read our suggestions and feedback, you atleast tell us that our ideas are being taken into consideration. Much appreciated

Backing off when the commander says ‘charge’ will almost always result in you dying anyway, and will certainly result in the attack failing and a lot of cheesed off dead people on our side. Remember combo fields can be very powerful in wvw and standing in a bunch might actually help you live longer.

Yes!

Do NOT stay behind when the commander says charge. Whatever the situation is. If you are one of the few that stay behind, what do you think will happen? The enemy (who also charges) will end up on your location with full force and you will die. If you charge with your commander and allies you get boons, condition removal, heals and protection from the Max-5 aoe-limit. Charging together is the best option and you shouldn’t think twice about it when your commander tells you to go.

I’ve seen it happen countless times before, especially when pugs follow a guildraid. The entire guild charges, downs many enemies, but because some pugs stay behind, they get killed, rallying the opponents again, leaving the guildraid with an even harder challenge.

If you follow a guildraid, please try to follow 100% or don’t follow at all. It sounds harsh, but not doing so does more harm than good. It’s also one of the reasons why many guildraids now turn off their commander icon. If you think you’re unable to follow and can’t think of anything to do, ask the commander how you could be of assistance in another way. I’m sure they’ll be glad to give you something fun to do if they see you’re really trying to help.

Probably because you stopped to comment on their appearance, which you probably wouldn’t have done if it was a bunch of guys (of course, guys wouldn’t need to make that sort of video because they don’t experience the same sexism).

A lotta people still treat gaming as if it’s a boys’ club.

Not sure why this thread is here. Nevermind whether any tribute from me means anything, what’s this have to do with WvW?

Nerdy/geeky guys are also often looked down upon, in case you didn’t know.

It’s fun that there’s a tribute for them, but like someone already mentioned it’s also a bit contradicting. If they have nothing to prove, what are they trying to do with this video?

Anyways. Yes there are jerks out there that think girls can’t be real gamers (etc), but from my point of view, I think most guys that do play games have nothing against girls that play them too. Although, probably with consoles and fps’ there could be some more haters (yes, I threw them under the bus /care)

Link please? o.o

I kinda find it hard to believe… especially if they’re not gonna do this with catas.

Are we getting refunds for all the stuff we bought? no
Is Anet going to fix the 1 or 2 items that allowed this exploit? doesn’t seem like it

They know about these threads, I got a PM the other day saying that a similar thread I posted in was removed to the trash. Yet, still no response.

I have townsclothes in WvW, for when I wait for my raid to start and ppl drop Box’o’funs around. THAT is the time people mostly use townsclothes. Atleast allow them in the spawncamps.

Sometimes I wonder who comes up with the ideas here. Don’t say it’s a team, makes it even worse. I can’t imagine nobody from the entire team thought about this, and even worse, that the majority disagreed with this person. Tbh, Anet reminds me of the 1%, when the ppl working there probably don’t even go in that category.

Auesis.7301:

I am against the existence of Portal in WvW simply because it makes the Mesmer a more desired profession over any other. I thought we could play how we wanted? It’s simply pathetic to hear the mandatory “sweep for Mesmers” EVERY SINGLE CAPTURE.

Why? I think you want to feel safe after a cap, but it doesn’t have to be that way. It makes the game more interesting.

If every class didn’t have it’s special thing, it would be boring

salluks.6017:

Vizunah as a server is..they will do anything to win. Anybody who ever faced them will vouch for it.

True story, and it really is anything… except when it comes to fighting… they seem to run away a lot. ;D

Goodmorning/afternoon everyone.

It’s the last day of 2012, let’s make it worth remembering!

ykyk.2740:

Thread is going to be closed for sure.

When players act out their displeasure at the lack of certain game modes (cough GvG) by making their own ghetto version, the correct response is to look at why people aren’t playing the modes that you are offering and either improve those modes or start offering the modes that clearly have demand.

Anet went with “shut down this new mode and hope they play our other modes that we are not going to change”, can’t imagine anything good coming from people who think like that.

Perfect example: GunZ
That game, developed by a small korean developer, was meant to played in a certain way, but due to a bug/glitch, people played it completely different. in the end, the developer embraced this new playstyle and promised never to fix it and make it part of the game, which resulted in the game to be really successful. THAT is how you run a game.

If a small random korean company can figure that out, so can you. Ok, sure you don’t have the resources to support gvgs at this time. Fine, but actively interrupting community-driven events, that are actually helping you keep your player-base while they wait for a better future seems like the most …… ….. thing to do. GvGs don’t hog resources. It’s not like we’re asking you to make an entire new gamemode of the scale of WvW or Pve. Just something small. Still no resources? fine, but let us be.

If we want to gvg, we will gvg. It’s not our fault for having this mentality, it is what Colin has been boasting about the game for years:

Colin Johanson

It’s extremely important that we stay true to our philosophy that you should be able to play Guild Wars 2 the way you want to play the game

If you really mean this, then let us play the way we want to play

This is kinda odd. How would you chose a real commander of the year? People will only vote on commanders they know (the ones on the servers they play on). There is no way to compare commanders from other servers. If I only know a few commanders (not even all of them) on the 1 of the like 30 servers there are, I can’t really accurately select “the best”

Lets check who is really dreaming.
Start the game. Log in with ur character. Push B
See the score and cry like a baby

Lmao, you’re a funny man. I don’t even have to try to diss you. You diss yourself for me. Just check any of the recorded raids (check signature for link) for proof of your ignorance.

Im not home, so I can’t check the score, but Piken has +320 and RS +175. So why would I cry? Why would I cry even if our score is worse than yours? I’m not like you that I would cry over something so meaningless.

You obviously haven’t fought Nugos and many other guilds on Piken. Every day we face groups of much higher numbers and always fight. Saying we run away is literally a lie. We even jump in zergs of 60 when we only have 15-20 ppl to see how long we can survive. We know we’ll most likely die, but we want to try anyways. What I just described and what you described contradict eachother. 1 of them is wrong. I have the daily recorded livestream to backup my end, what do you have?

But isn’t that what they wanted? Instead of having 3 full servers, they want to spread the population out more.

Objectives could give less rewards the more people do it. I think this is one of the possibilities against zerging.

If it’s more profitable to do objectives with a group of around 20 than with 80, even if it takes a little bit longer to complete, people will start to avoid being in the zerg. They will most likely even leave if the group gets too large and create their own new group.

Instead of:

Culling (invisible enemies) → Long load time → Visible enemies

it’s now:

Culling (invisible enemies → Long load time → Placeholders → Visible enemies

Same culling happening. Placeholders aren’t really placeholders, just another step in between.
