Forced into even more WvW that I despise

it’s just a zerg fest of giant groups spamming AoE on another giant group, and giant groups just whailing their weapons against doors. There’s nothing even really to it unless you’re the commander. It’s just lame.

Funny thats how i feel about PvE these days. One living story update after another, just mindless zerg content.
Or champ farming in Orr/FG. The only time i need my keyboard is to jump a small gap. Dont pretend WvW is just mindless zerging, its what you make of it. And just as well, PvE has a ton of equally mindless zerging aswell.

Plans to address the failing ranking system?

I don’t want to completely ruin the surprise but you should hear something big from us in the coming weeks about this very topic.

You forgot to tell them to ask again next month to hear an even more obscure answer.

D’oh! You caught me there. Let me spruce it up some. In the coming weeks, nay months, you’ll see many changes to WvW. We should have something to announce regarding the matchmaking in the coming weeks. If you aren’t happy with those changes, I’ll be more surprised than the Imperial Japanese Army was by Marshal Georgy Zhukov at the battle of Nomonhan. I think that fits the criteria. Sort of.

Add Consumables to WvW

This is in fact an excellent idea, but I really doubt the uninspired devs of Anet have the imagination to pull anything even nearly as interesting as this. Instead, chances are they’ll just add a couple of progress bars that the barely sentient can then fill.

Seriously look at wvw. The maps for example (a whopping two of them!) are static, symmetric, quite small, and just plain empty. They do have some good ideas such as the tribal factions and a few “secret” routes, but that’s about it.
Compared to what the world pvp of other mmos can offer, wvw is currently seriously lacking and feels like a demo.
Your idea could bring some live to this game, and thus, it’s probably not going to happen.

Updates to the Forum +1 System

in News and Announcements

Greetings,

If you read or post on our official forums, you may have noticed the +1 button next to each post. Recently, we have updated this system with more features and visibility for you, the players. You can find the full forum update notes here. This post is to familiarize you all with the new features in our +1 system and how they affect you.

Added a link to user profile pages which shows posts that a user has +1’d, ordered such that top-most is the most recent

Added a link to user profiles to show highly rated posts ordered descending by score

When visiting a user’s profile page, you can view all posts that user has +1’d starting with the most recent, or see all of their own posts that have been +1’d by others sorted descending by score.

Both of these options are opt-in, because we respect your privacy and don’t want to force you into sharing information you are not comfortable with sharing. As such, you may not see these links in other user profile pages immediately. You will always see these links on your own page, regardless of your settings.

To allow others to view these pages on your own profile, click on your display name in the upper right of the forum, then on the following page, click “Edit Profile”, check the last two boxes and click “Save changes”.

Popularity is divided between popular and very popular as well as per-thread and forum-wide

What this means is that there are two levels of popularity, categorized “popular” and “very popular”. Currently these are indicated by a thumbs-up icon that appears next to the +1 button. If a post is very popular, the thumbs-up earns a star that appears within said icon.
Our future plans include updating these indicators to something more visually striking. Until then, this is how you will know if a post has achieved popular status.

There are also two levels in which posts are gauged for popularity, on a per-thread basis and forum-wide. Forum-wide popularity takes into account +1s from within a set time period across the forum. Per-thread popularity takes into account all +1s in a thread. Visually, a forum-wide popular post will have a red underline beneath the thumbs-up icon.

Over the next few weeks, we will monitor thresholds against post-scores and make adjustments as we see is necessary to ensure accurate display of popularity indicators. Going forward, if you read a post and like it, press that +1 button. It’s how you let us, and other players, know that you liked what you read.

Commander for 100 g.... Why?

in WvW

Um from the title I thought you going to say it should be merit based but you want it even easier. NTY.

I would like the 100g to be appended with 1000 badges or some kind of achievement based for WvW like kill count so people have to invest the time into and be good at it.
