Guild Wars 2

I’m just gonna talk about wvw.

Most of it is fine and then you have something like thet dolyak upgrade numbers……

How on earth could the wvw team think that all objective type should be treated the same way? Just this shows a issue as to how they think wvw is.

The system itself is fine. Forces to maintain supply line while others will try to take them down.

But 20 dolyaks? for all objective types? That’s just plain ridiculous. Camps flip more than towers who flip more than keeps. Therefore each should require less dolyaks than the next to reach their maximum potential.

I’d say about 45min to an hour to have a T3 camp (seems little but remember that camps can be flipped by 1 player only and in 1h there’s a high probability that it will be….a lot). 1h30 to 2h for a tower. 2h30 to 3h for a keep and since people have being saying SM is fine then leave it as it is. (I chose these number so that people who like to play only for defense and upgrading an objective can do it in one play session but I’m no expert)
Now I know the team is talking in dolyaks reached but, if they did their homework while making the change then surely they timed dolyaks and will be able to figure in 1h how many dolyaks reach an objective?
In case they haven’t done their homework : https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/42x1to/wvw_lets_play_with_numbers_a_bit/

Last thought : They completely disregard WvW Guild missions……..Just wow……Very good job. The hold and cap are no longer doable because the timer is just too short.

If you want to do only 3 to 4 of these patches a year then please improve your Q&A to make sure that when a big change happens like that you don’t completely screw a part of the game deeply linked to it. We’re probably a minority but we enjoy doing wvw only misisons as they fit well into the general gameplay.

Every other change is fine.

PS : Another Q&A issue. With the change to stomp / rez not being affected by slow/quickness, rev down skill 2 is useless. It need a rework or to become an exception

TL;DR : Improve your Q&A / actual testing of changes in wvw.

What about multiple sets then? i got 3 sets of ascended armor for heavy class each with a different stats.

Will I unlock the stats of one on the other 2?

MF sounds good.

Another thing would be to give the ability to unlock skins once you’re pas the max rank needed for all upgrades (which many of us who have spent a long time in wvw are…….)

For example, special wvw armors and weapon sets (and if you guys at Anet can’t have ideas for more wvw weapons or armors then ask the community, do a design contest like in gw1) or any other type of cool little things (but no mini until whatever dev team is responsible fixes the fact they don’t get stealthed while in a pvp map)

Are the traits changes for core specialisations gonna be released before HoT?

Wooden patatoes is heavily hinting that it will be. Apparently someone from your staff told him they would be.

If it’s true can we get a confirmation?

I agree with William

When I command I don’t use squad chat because people don’t even know it exists!!! Usually my squad is 3 people out of a zerg of 30.

What I do mostly is spam /supplyinfo but people don’t know how to stack properly which is weird because they spend their time stacking in dungeons….So a wider range is really needed

The main issue after that is “Oh wow, so much commander I’m lost!” We need colors for tags and the idea about an invisible tag for guild groups that only the “infantry” commander (or any other guild commander) can see is brilliant as WvW is more effective when you can have 2 or 3 groups that know where each other are and what they are doing.
Otherwise commanders lead their zerg to resupply to camps that have just been drained by guild groups or lead them to objective already under siege while they could hit somewhere else and put more pressure on the enemy.

Now let’s talk about something that gets really annoying when it happens : Mesage suppressed. Why? Commanders are the one talking the most, it’s normal and a friend told me you can be suppressed in your own squad chat! The one YOU created, I mean where’s the logic in that. You might want to increase the cap for commander and remove it totally from squad chat.

I’d like to direct you to sluchey’s post (5 posts above) for his commander UI which seems really nice and the part where you can have info on your supply and number of players is something needed.

I’ll had more or correct myself when I think about it after having commanded.
I’ve always thought 100g to get the tag was a bad idea but since you sometimes need commanders in PvE now, I won’t go there anymore.

PS : Thank you so much for letting us share our view and I hope it gets redone soon ^^

Crius.5487:

Insignias are for crafting armor and inscriptions are for crafting weapons, just to clarify.

Cool thanks, I don’t run the game in english I’ll make sure to remember that

However this still brings us at to WHY not make all ori inscriptions available through craft and therefore truly available to all in a fair manner?

Since all fine crafting mats are taken I guess a combination of 2 of these would do to fix it

Wanze.8410:

They are available at the Guild Commendations vendor for 10 Commendations and 80 silver.

Oh nice thanks but I still think they should be made craftable but it’s nice to know I won’t have to spend a crazy amount of gold for them

Hello this is related to ascended crafting.

I like that Anet allows us to craft all the types of stats in ascended but what about the necessary orichalcum insignias???

For example I wish to make the sentinel’s ascended weapons but I can’t craft the necessary sentinel insignia, I have to buy it off TP for 9 gold each.

So I have a question to Anet : Will I be able to craft it? After all since you allow us to acraft all the ascended insignias why not all the exotic ones?

Eric I like your dyes : 8/10

Here’s the armor on my charr guardian : mix of T3 cultural, primeval, braham and vigil. This is my only character so I’ve spent a lot of time on it; I use ancient silver as my main color with icing and silver for the details

I’m also adding my town clothes : top hats are cool!

The squad feature has really been badly implemented it should come with a specific UI to know what you have in your squad etc I know a thread existed for this but I guess it got lost.

There’s also a bunch of issue with the grouping system in WvW anyway. Issues that are really annoying like when you left click on a name and you can only report players…..

I like your ideas especially the one about the price of the tag. I really wonder why Anet made it like available through gold only….To make it available to all?? That would be pretty naive. Not everybody can be a commander! I lead people in fights in WvW but I am not taking the commander tag because I know that right now I lack the skills to keep up with all the sieging part of the battles

Esplen.3940:

I’d be okay with this if you couldn’t show it in WvW like capes in GW1 (you had to show your cape in PvP).

yeah it would be only for towns of course

Thanks a lot Mack

This could be a really cool feature
And Loki’s way of putting it is I think perfect

Hello,

I’ve spent (like many other guildies) a good amount of gems on town clothes with time but the issue with town clothes is that to show them you need to assign a button you’re gonna forget 2/3 of the time or go H panel (and like for the minis, it’s way too annoying after some time

So I’ve had an idea : How about an option to have you town clothes show automatically whenever you’re in town?
This option would be like the Aoe loot or the fast cast ground targeting skills meaning just a little box you can tick if you want it or not.

GW1 example of something similar : you could choose to hide your helmet in towns and outposts.

One of the reasons people don’t show their town clothes is also because they don’t have access to their speed utilities. So how about making a utility you get through the town clothes or a buff or just make utilities available when wearing them.

I think it would definetly be good to have an equipment slot where you choose from the minis in your bank

To do it you can just make a slot show a menu like the pet selection for ranger that’s linked to the minis stored in your bank

PS : Something should be done about town clothes as well what about an option that you can agree to or not (by ticking a box) to have them show automatically whenever you are in a town

I approve this message
(I feel like a politician now :p )

1. Improved matchmaking system : by that I mean a way to make sure that when i go in tourney I end up with people who will communicate and know how tourney works instead of having a rank 20 ; 2 rank 10 and another rank 35 like me and having the rank 10 don’t know what they should do while we fight a team of premade of rank 40 (it has happened so many times it’s getting embarrassing)

2. In Game Duels

3.More Game modes (you can start by making spirit watch a real capture the flag map) and actual rewards because tourney chests are just useless after a while

Other than that I know you guys are willing to make the sPvP in GW2 awesome and I thank you for your effort. Keep up the good work but try to bring in the different game modes fast so we don’t get bored too much
