Guild Wars 2

WvW is mindless skill spamming and I actually like putting more effort in. My guess is you haven’t played sPvP solo? Guess what happens when you are downed? Enemies leave you down and so do allies. Solo players are the most selfish of all. Guess what they play for? A high kdr. Solo sPvP is “Points? What points I just want to kill people. You care about capping points go join the tournaments. lolz.”

Yeah, so let’s try again, shall we?

Yes. Please! I would love to duel my GuildMates (who are new to PC gaming) and showing them why their Razer Naga was a waste of money while I use simply a three button mouse and a plain ole keyboard.

Milo, you hit it on the head. This is a team based game, and it has been (obviously) designed around it.

Really? Why is the only real way ti play with my friends kind of is too big of an effort to even get my friends to play it?

So like, I am a Guild Wars noob and yeah. All I hear is GW2’s endgame and what keeps you coming back in their PvP but yet it seems to be catered towards the hardcore crowd. Why us that?

So we have tournaments and non-tournaments matches. With one it requires a full time to play and the other you can just drop in and out willy nilly as a solo player. Where is the inbetween? Where do groups of buddies go to casually play and be on the same team w/out jumping through hoop after hoop to TRY and make it happen?

oh oops this is actually an off topic rant that was ..yeah so.

This proposed downed state will work REALLY well in the solo environment but does and will take away some of the greatness around it’s current setup for a true team setup.

So… use them both! Tournament Style and, the proposed, Solo Style.

:D

Dude, it’s you who doesn’t seem to understand. This is a GAME there is no “waste of space.”

The core problem is the population cap. If winning means everything than sure let 80s in first but to some players winning means jack. It may be foreign to some but a lot of people play simply for fun.

It is not anyone else’s fault you are level 80 and feel you have nothing else to do or this is your endgame but yet some seem to believe punishing low level players is the way to go.

Hey maybe, just MAYBE, ANet could do, say what SWTOR did for their PvP. 1-79 is one bracket and level 80s get their own bracket. Since the game is still new ANet would like to assume there aren’t many 80s out there but no there really are.

Not only would that help with the queues but if the 80s population isn’t there they could restrict the maps available to play on. For example 80s can only queue for EB.

Or another good example is upping the overall population cap but restrict 80s to only EB and/or restrict lower levels to the Borderlands.

Btw I think it’s funny you use the example of explaining something to your son but I bet in that same scenario I bet if your son was to offer a different opinion you would say something like “Whatever little kid.”

It helps to see the bigger picture sometimes.

Working as intended. Running is a penalty for death and it can be circumvented by expensive waypoint upgrades.

Agreed. It would simply allow players to play more recklessly and be rewarded for doing so via the fast travel back.

Lonewolf.5869:

as for tactics, no one will listen to a level 23 against a level 80 commander.

Well first that’s why I join in with my guildmates and friends. Also second I have seen 1 (ONE) Commander my entire time playing since headstart.

I mean this is SERVER VERSUS SERVER why put down and talk poop on FELLOW SERVER MATES! We are all in this together. If these 80s would get off their horses and realize what it take to truly win a WvW session than the game would be a much more peaceful and more enjoyable time for everyone.

Not to mention most of the examples given are the most extreme case scenario which in actuality happen FAR LESS them players perceive it to be.

Facts? LMAO Those aren’t facts. Sure a single 23 means nothing but what about 50 level 23’s?

“2) There is no such thing as ADVANCED tactical crap, no one listen to a level 23, let alone being level 23 means YOU DONT HAVE THE WvW Experince.”

LMAO. Tactics ARE what wins WvW. Not gear, not level. Tactics are what win WvW. Well what if I went from 1 to 23 all in WvW? Do I still not have enough experience because I am not 80? Sure you can 1 shot 2-3 players but 2-3 players are minescual in comparison to the rest of the WvW.

Though as it has said before a level restriction will not solve a thing.

1 – Yes
2 – Yes
3 – YES! (what he means here is that any loot for you your PC will automatically pick up. No need to leave a siege weapon to loot. No need to remember where those bags of yours were)
4 – Sure
5 – Sure
6 – YES! But not Red. Maybe something along the lines of Guildmates. Some kind of really off color.

It’s very simple really. Stay away from the golden crossed swords and anything the enemy has captured, aka stay in your own server’s colored territory.

WvW is three servers fighting for land. If you venture out into that land it’s your own fault. Want to explore areas you haven’t been to? Follow the crowd and hope they go to where you want.

Jurugar.6157:

Why shouldnt a lvl 80 get priority in the queue over someone who’s, say, level 27, and still has a dozen more zones to explore and complete to level?

I am having a really hard time believe that most lvl 80’s don’t have anything else to do. You get leveled down in low level zones. Why not go and try to complete the whole actual game? There is PLENTY to do in GW2 it’s not even funny.

Right, but what if I just spent my money just to play WvW and nothing else? Now because I am level 1 I can’t even play the mode I bought the game for. That does REALLY great for business.

What if that level 30 has been playing TONS of sPvP or is an amazing PvP player and has more tactical knowledge and experience than a level 80?

Just suck it up, like everyone else, and wait in line to join WvW. You know you could be doing something as well while you wait for the WvW queue to pop. You know like trying to 100% complete the whole map.

As a level 42ish Melee Norn Necro I was having a hard time with my level 15 Story Quest, solo. It’s almost as if the Story Quests were balanced around the assumption of you playing with friends or being in the party.

I think the main issue is that it seems, no matter what, all the mobs target you being as it’s your story.

I can’t imagine what it’ll be like later on.

Nope. Not everyone is 80 nor do they want to feel like they have to rush to 80 just to play WvW.

Like I said, Nope.

I got you covered!

Better than just gameplay with voice over. They go deep!

It’s very simple to understand why queues are long. WvWvW is FULL!! Can you believe that, SOOOO many people want to play WvW and it’s FULL??

Don’t want a queue? Join in when there is a restart.

Yes please. As someone has mentioned not only is this a problem when fighting in large groups but also when you are using siege weapons because you have to leave it just to pick up the loot. In that short amount of time a player can easily hijack it.
