I won’t deny other changes are needed. But I’m not a game dev, I don’t really know what will fix things for the meta, all I know is WvW is fun for 3 days, then sucks until reset.
A-net, almost everyone who posts on this forum LOVES WvW! Unfortunately it seems the majority of matchups are over somewhere within the 2-4 day mark. That means 2-4 days of fun, which quickly turns into 5-3 days of “Ugh, they aren’t even putting up a fight” or “wow, why even que we are getting stomped”.
If you want people to constantly be enjoying Wvw, a 3 day game could be the answer. If I am the only one that feels this way go ahead and tell me why you think the 1 week games are good, if you agree with me lets hear it.
The servers aren’t really balancing, and 1 week long games are only dragging out wins/losses.
awesome guys, thanks for the replies! I know I seen info on this somewhere but either I missed it or it got lost in the thread.
Like most thieves I tossed my starting hood thinking the level 80 gear would look significantly better. I was wrong. I made a new thief, tossed his hood in the bank to remodel my gear, but it’s soulbound. Any idea’s on where to get that starting gear hood model? Heck all the starting gear looks decent.

This has been probably the closest matchup in any WVW I’ve been in so far. I was a little disappointed that ET had such a mass exodus of “fair weather pvpers”, but we seem to be pulling it together and keeping pace with tier 2 fairly well. We’ll see how the week goes. I am also enjoying laying the smack down on some of those fair weather server jumpers.
Yep, only time I use it is if I somehow find myself full init and not in range for a CnD (which is super rare) and then just to try to keep bleeds from dropping.
You can solo, sure. You will get more exp/karma/silver if you find the zerg and run with them. I’d probably try to run with the zerg first for a little bit, get the feel of the zone and how things work, then break off and do your own thing if you dislike zergs.
No, it’s not fixed. Still invisible enemies this morning, I’d say it’s not as bad as it was, but the fights so far this morning weren’t huge zerg vs zerg affairs, just 25 or so vs 5-10 (I assume, I could only tell after the bodies were on the ground).
I agree zhonnika, 1 week is almost too long. 2 weeks would be terrible, I guess I’d get those alts leveled up.
I hear Ruin left the server. We’ll see how that impacts us next week.
If venomous aura is in your build, I would think it would come down to if you want to buff your team with a stun, or if you want to have thieves which you can buff with other venoms.
If it’s a simple devourer vs baslisk, if you can get behind them when they have devourer on and they cant hit you with abilities. Although stunning them out of a heal with basilisk was fun, I didn’t find the loss of thieves guild to be worth it. Basilisk to me was on par with other venom but not worth an elite spot, even less so that it can be broken out of now.
ET hasn’t really had que times since opening day this week. Even prime time saturday I could get into a bl in under 5 minutes. Not sure what’s up.
Not to derail your online slap fight, but what’s the score? ET is gettin pounded in tier 1, not sure where our good commanders go during top tier week, but I haven’t seen most of them more then once.
I don’t know about the rest of you. But the rendering lag seems to be especially awesome today. Awesome like a root canal.
See my experiences are just the opposite of yours. I barely notice any increased survivability with this set. It might be that my traits spec is more designed for high burst, was hoping some back stab rogues would weigh in on their gear and what they prefer.
I feel underwhelmed by the tough/vit/pow gear in pvp. I have a full set of the Karma exotic gear, and the pants are the only one with pre/tough/cond damage. Full wvw badge weps, also giving tough/vit/pwr. I still seem to get hit just as hard in solo fights, but do noticeably less damage then other dag/dag thieves on backstabs (checking combat log, they are hitting for a ton more). I’m running a 0/30/20/10/10 build with Hidden killer/Hidden thief.
I never try to go toe to toe, always attempt to open with a steal/stealthed backstab (because of thrill of the crime steal buff). Auto attack while I wait out the revelead then CaD into another backstab.
Any thoughts? Am I doing it wrong? Should I be stacking Pre/pwr/crit damage?
When I get DC’d it’s NEVER an internet issue. It’s either the weird sound bug that pops up randomly, or more often GW2 just stops responding. Give us a grace period!
It’s unfortunate that the rendering issues are still in full force. During the main push at server switch last night, about 80 % of the time I was just spamming things hoping to hit someone right next to me I knew was there, but I couldn’t see. I have been pretty patient, but it is really starting to get old.
I disagree with the “don’t be with the zerg” advice. If that zerg is capping regularly, that’s the best money to be made in WvW.
Had a few gold site spammers in eb this morning.

This is currently a serious problem with ET hacking/exploiting. They are able to kill our Yaks with nobody being visible in addition to all the other things happening.
Because we control when the game decides to render us, amirite?
I was in that group that took Durios. I didnt see anyone cheating, just the usual can’t see anyone till they’re right on top of you garbage. You sure it wasn’t the 5 trebuchets they had trained on that wall hitting you? I have a strong feeling 90 % of what you people cry foul is actually just issues with the game, and what you can or can’t see attacking you.
This, and a 3-5 minute grace period if your account gets D/C’d in regards to kicking you from que/wvw would be great.
to wait 3 hours for a borderland que, then 20 minutes later get stuck in a loading screen because you took a mesmer portal to get supply to the garrison. Seriously, put in a 3-5 minute grace period for disconnects and crashes, getting booted out of WvW because of a crash or infinite loading screen is crap.
I think a battle against ET, JQ, and SBI would be pretty epic.
Except only Henge out of that list continuously beats ET. Henge is the only server anyone on ET is really concerned with.
I prefer not seeing 30 botting pve’rs escorting a doly to a keep WAY behind the front, that’s already full on supplies. Used to die in a fight, rez at our keep, and see them just mindlessly doing this. Now if there was a way to only give reward based on proximity to the front, or perhaps amount of supply in keep, or even a time limit based on how long ago the keep was under siege or taken.
As it is though, this current system is the lesser of two evils.
“it doesn’t make sense even in real war to have 5 people defend against 30people attacking”
You do know the movie “300” was actually based off history, right? Using higher ground, fortified areas, or natural bottlenecks has been a mainstay of “real war” since as far back as there were people devising tactics to win wars.
And video games are and will most likely be restricted by code for the foreseeable future, this knocks out the “flexibility” that you think should be implemented. Video games will probably never be as flexible as real life, and if they are, we would all just sit in VR helms all day and never actually live our lives.
Weird, guess it might be something else. I seen a thread about steal auto attacking and taking you out of stealth, and a lot of times I rely on the trait that stealths you as you steal to close a gap and knock off a backstab. It could be that Im already popped out of stealth as I position and don’t even notice, I guess Ill try to pay attention to that as well.
I am a huge fan of abilities that reward positioning for higher damage, this drew me to backstab. It seems “off” to me though. I have been directly behind my target, executed a stealthed backstab, and a regular Q attack is what landed. This happens often in pvp, so i decided to try it out in pve. The same thing happens often on pve mobs, fairly often it just executes a standard Q attack with the dagger. Is anyone else having this problem? I have over 30mbps dl and 6 mbps upload, so lag on my end shouldn’t be an issue. Just trying to get some ideas, as it’s great when it lands, but it’s not very dependable.
