Guild Wars 2

It takes very long to produce large volumes of bolt(s) of silk. It seams like the “timer” does not behave like other times in crafting cutting the crafting time in half everytime you procide an item. While other crafts does this maby 3-4 times and then you are at max speed, it seams like bolt(s) of silk only does it once.

This makes crafting talioring items in bulk take alot longer than say jeweler.

Still not a solution? I guess its time to start migrating guilds to other servers. Such a kittening shame that dev’s dont give a rats kitten about this issue. Oh well. Thank god for to free server transferes.

I guess the next stage in wvw is flavor of the week server. -_-

So incredably sad that the only thing that REALLLY makes gw2 stand out WvW is totally screwed over by Anet…

FS have totally given up wvw apparently. dont move to this server

Correction: Emissary of the mad king is working now, but not retroactive.

Holloween events completed still is not counting door that spawn events.

Pumpkin carvning, as it did not get expanded like “holloween huntin”’ and “tick or treat bags opened”, seams to ne the culpit.

also maby adding a green flare so that people can actually se that the area is instanced?

Jup ,still is not working.

Well skeletal. you just move on to bracket 1 and we relax this week. When you finally meet som opposistion to the nightcapping you are going to be crying very hard, and the americans will look for other servers since they clearly do not like a challenge: why else would you migrate to a server to nightcap?

And good riddance. Tier 2 will be so much more balanced and nice to play when all the people that dont enjoy a challenge all gets put into 1 tier with high ques.

I look forword to it.

Pact Requisitioner Hargrove is an NPC that appears in an instanced version of Fort Trinity at the end of the Personal Story Quests. He currently has a merchant buy dialogue, but only the sell option is available. In the non-instanced version of Fort Trinity, he is behind a door that is normally closed, located to the left of the door that leads to the airship.

Problem is.. that door is still closed in the non instanced version, and even when we got though it, there was no npc there.

So Anet you simply forgot to put in this npc this patch?

This is Dax my norn elementalist.

To be honest, this feels like walking into any sportgame, computergame, boardgame, you name it and the referee is telling you the other team already won because thats the rules and you cant do anything about it. the score is 50.000 against you and the game started 2 days ago.
Now you can try all day long to do your very best and you might even gonna make a diference when you play, but it wont matter in the end because the game have been decided by something you have absolutly no effect on. (We all have to sleep)

Question is: Do i wanna bother playing such a game?

Im still playing but im getting closer and closer to a bad conclusion

QFT

When exiting the start area in green borderland you get loading screen……

Seriously Matt..

How the hell can you clam that “no player’s time should matter more than anothers” and then still dont have a problem with nightcapping?

It is destroying the one truly great thing about this game (WvW), it is fustrating and makes WvW effort a total f.. waste of time.

Do your job: Fix the scoring!

Honestly it sounds like you guys would rather face opposition that’s as strong as you are, so be happy the teams that are nightcapping are going up the ladder while you are going down. If you want to go up you’ll just be facing stronger and stronger servers along the way.

My god, you simply have no idea. There isent enought servers that are doing this. There is one in eu. So all your fine talk about ladder balanced is all for nothing. THERE SIMPLY ISENT THAT MANY DIFFERENT SERVERS TO PICK FROM.

In this limited server enviroment the thing that you are proposing simply is not possible. if there was 100’s or maby 1000’s of servers, then yes. But there isent, and you need to understand that.

There are 27 EU servers. If your claim that only 1 of them nightcaps is true, then that’s at MOST 2 other servers that have to deal with it.

Well they all nightcap from time to time, to say otherwise would be wrong. But one does it every weeknight, and one is bad at it during the weekends. the last one is to weak to make any difference, but is still #3 in eu.

The point here is that thise 3 top servers will be matched, and rematched over and over and over again, because they are the top 3 on the ladder, and even if #3 get changed out, it wont change the over all picture.

I dont think the issues is less relevant, as it “only” affects 2 servers. Every single server out there will be affected by balacing issues in one regard or another.

My suggestion to an solution is to move the balancing from the realmladder into the individual battlemaps, providing a much more clear picture of the skill and orginazation of the servers, and not just who has the most unemplyed people.

So balance needs to happen on the battlefield and not during rematching. I do not get why you think that having a fiar fight is so bad. If nothing else, the increased battlefieldbalancing will get a much MUCH more accurate picture of a realm’s skill level, than points harvested brainlessly at night.

If a server is beating you because of nightcapping. then they are a stronger server, and they deserve their spot above you.

Sort of like how if I spend all night shooting free throws while Kobe Bryant is asleep it makes me a better basketball player than him.

Basketball games last a few hours. WvW is on 24/7. Not even close to a fair comparison. The server is winning because it’s a stronger server. Their server has the presence round the clock to keep a point lead over you. Either try to win, or accept your defeat and hope the next rebalance will have you facing another team with a similar night presence to yours. You may not think it makes their players better. but it DOES make their server better.

So you think that everyone should get a nightcrew and run around capping at night? im sorry, not all contries has that high an unemployment rate to support that tactic.

Time zones are a thing you know. and not everyone who works has a 9-5. Also not everyone who is unemployed is awake all night.

Yes. Get a nightcrew. it makes your server stronger. If not, then quit whining and wait till you drop further in the brackets to face servers who have no night team like yourself. The top of the ladder has action 24/7 the top servers have night teams.

Ill repleat just for you: Points gained during the night, fighting agaist NPC’s have NOTHING to do with skill or strong or better, so you should not be rewarded for it.

Maby just make a ladder for people that enjoy nightcapping, and then a ladder for the servers that play more balanced. That would be much better.

put people that enjoy zero challenge in 1 ladder, and people that enjoy a challenge in an other ladder. Nightcappers would ofc go into the “no challange ladder”.

The point where I think that you make the biggest mistake in your assumptions, is asuming that nightcapping=best. It does not, it actually =worst. So for your logic to make sence, points gained during the day should be multiplied by a HUGE amount to make nightcapping a waste of time.

Then the current ladder system would make sence, as you are placed accordingly to how well you do agaist players, and not how well you do agaist NPC’s (as is the case with points gained during nightcapping).

“strong” has nothing whatsoever to do with nightcapping.

Keldrath.4735:

WvW standing is about the server. If your server doesn’t have a capable night team that can keep your points up over the nighttime hours, then your server lost it’s points fair and square. It’s judged by how well the server does overall 24/7 not how well it does during your primetime. So get better night teams. WvW doesn’t just take a rest and wait for you to be ready before the games back on.

If a server is beating you because of nightcapping. then they are a stronger server, and they deserve their spot above you.

Might be true, but there is zero fun in this for anyone. But i think it does not apply to videogames like this. People will stop playing and you will find yourselfe very much alone “at the top of a ladder”

Mescaline.2743:

There is already one almost abandoned server in Europe due to WvW problems and free transfers abusing.

Drium.8509:

There are several abandonned NA servers already, so it’s spreading. And it’ll keep getting worse.

wow this is really sad to hear.

The match up system, is great in theory, if you have 100’s or 1000’s of servers to draw from, to make matchups at ballanced as possible. But with a low amount of servers this system might prove to be really bad.

Removing points entirely from the game, might actually solve some of thise issues.

elvy.9085:

Well as I already said the ranking system will work it out itself.

You will eventually be match up against lower presence servers. Vs will face higher presence servers.

No, no, no… This woud be true if there was 100 maby 1000’s of servers. But as it is right now, with a very low amount of servers, it has HUGE implications if you have nightcapping happening from one realm all the time due to issues with the game balancing the sides.

What is hard to understand about this?

Ask your self this: If nightcapping points, did not add to your realm points, would you still do it? no. You do it to get an UNFAIR ADVANTAGE over your opponent.

Xandax.1753:

Play sPvP if you want the game to enforce team size.

What is the point of keeping score if the teams are not balanced?
-Ill tell you. There is no point of keeping score if the teams are not balanced.

And people please, reaslize that ther isent a server en EU that playes with nightcapping to the same extream as FR, so dont argue that “they will be match with people that also nightcaps” because they wont. There simply isent that many servers currently in the game.

The problem is the balaceing issue, not how indivudial servers exploit this issue.

Prime time is usually a window of high activity steaching 3-4 hrs. But I guess that i have to explain even the simplest of things to get anything across on this forum. sign. So the Prime time on EU servers will be primetime on eu servers an finite timeframe that goes from 7 to 10 pm on an weekday or 8 to 11 pm in some places.

But I find it striking that you will attack a little thing like this and not look at the balaceing issue, wich is the whole point on the post as mentioned in the title of the post wich is (incase you missed it): WvW night capping/whining/unbalance

It matters very little if it is in prime time or not. What matters is that the maps are balanced, and not if it is 250, 50 or 10 vs the same amount.

Another good suggestion is to have the amount of points you gain devided by the amount of people you are. More people capping in a low populated zone with zero resistances gets zero points.

First off let me stress that the amount of whine happening on this forum about this issue is pathetic. On all sides you find dedicated, hardworking people that are just out to have a bit of fun, but you also find little children stuck in grownup bodies. The state of the gw2 community at the moment is appalling, and some of you should consider playing a more simple game, like wow, where whiners live in bulk.

-That said- there are some balancing issues right now that are causing a lot of the tension in the community. The first and foremost is the unbalanced WvW. The bulk of players, I think, play gw2 most for the WvW, so it is INCREADIBLY depressing when you are fighting against people, which for some reason or the other, is not playing “fairly”.

At the core of this unfair play, you find nightcapping which is by its very nature, unbalanced, to easy, and is in my opinion only for mentally impared people, that is not seeking an active challenge.

Much of this nightcapping is carried out and is indeed possible because the individual borderlands, and EB, does not auto balance itself.

I’ll give you an example. 250 people from each zone in prime time -> fine, the group that is most organized and skilled will win. This is a fair fight.

-2 hrs later, 150 people from VS, 40 from DE, and 45 from FS. Now you are looking at a WHOLE different picture. This is not fun, unbalanced, and unsurprisingly, enjoyable for the 150 and not so much for the 40+45.

-1½ hrs later. 100 vs. 10 vs. 15 making nightcapping possible.

Solution seams simple and it draws from one of Anets most practiced feature: Kicking people from WvW.
Every time the score is reset (every 15 min) the map auto balances and randomly kicks people from the side that has too many. How fine you want to do this +-10 or +- 25 or whatever would help CONSIDERABLY to minimize the nightcapping. Capping will still be possible at night, but will require more skill.
Now I am not ignorant to the fact that attacking usually requires more people than defending, and how you want to add this to the balance issue is up to you (Anet).

I know many people from VS, DE and FS that is sick of the current system. Fix it, so we can all enjoy the WvW, and truly find out who has more skills, and not which server has the most unemployed people (the nightcappers).

Its ok. Let the French unemployed people win WvW. In the mean time ill be progressing my IRL and playing wvw from time to time.

At some point they will get tired of standing alone in the WvW and maby then they will go and get a job like the rest of us normal people.
