Guild Wars 2

Seriously how you get to the guild banker in the new pvp map?

Both my wins and losses in ranked have a difference of 300 – 400 points. I’m either winning by a landslide or losing by a landslide. I can be in gold and have teammates that are obviously bronze on my team. My guess is Anet is forcing a 50% win ratio on people. But either way, I miss balanced matches….

The reason I request access to stability is that Rev is a heavy armor class. Being able to secure kills in a team fight is a must for heavy armor classes.

Forced 50% is real. Instead of offering balance, anet offers forced losses. Rip balance.

Get a friend, maybe they will like your tears.

I don’t understand how dragon hunter and rev are allowed to be in the same game.

I find a lot of people only know the meta. What’s funny about that is the meta only works if it matches your play style, so many people don’t play into their builds strong suit. Those are the same people that cry when you aren’t playing the meta. Just tell them that’s what you are playing and they will blame someone else.

matchmaking is a joke this season. Not sure what changes Anet made, but seriously laughable. I was in gold and got teammates who were obviously in bronze, didn’t know rotations, or their class.

I miss the classic lions arch.

The only way anet can manage to find balance is by forcing meta builds onto people :\

Rev is having a harder time holding their own in this new condi meta. One simple buff should help out. Add stability to either a staff skill or a legendary dragon skill.

Disessa plateau
Straits
Drytop
Southsun Cove
The new lions arch, the old one was so much better.

Open world pvp. Boom probably solved, flag up and kill the afk farmers.

I know a person who got diamond by only playing DH, they have no idea how to rotate, or even check the map to see what’s happening. DH is anything but balanced.

No class should have range with huge cc’s & damage, 1 shot bursts with ultra low cool downs, & tons of survivability, oh and the ability to hold the whole point and pull people on top of it.

Hate stronghold…. Need quick builds for different modes.

Can’t see my own score in ranked leaderboards.

^24 days and counting….

Is this really still a problem? What a joke.

Wish I could log into the leaderboards………

eotm is a great map, different from the rest which is nice, there are always big fights happening at eotm, but at the end of the day it’s about karma farming and not winning fights(that’s the downside to eotm your guild certainly does’t win anything from eotm, not even bragging rights). I also see no contradiction in my statement because it’s been how long since a different server has fought another? This is no longer wvw but a weekly grind with the same people, the wvw aspect is gone. You obviously weren’t around during the awesomeness that was playing against a new server every week, where wvw didn’t feel like a grind.

Anywho disagree with my idea all you want, are you currently happy with wvw? That was the main point of this thread. Because i’m not, I want to be put against different people, and I would like to see the wvw servers stay busy besides peak hours on the weekends.

I’m confused. Are you asking about eotm or regular wvw? Eotm is a completely different beast, as it is mostly karma trains and lowbies leveling up quick, whereas wvw is actual battles between servers for points on the map.

I have gotten bored with wvw, as well as the rest of the game lately. There just isn’t much point or rewards in wvw to make it interesting. I liked someone’s suggestion here about having something like darkness falls in DaoC…..that would give more reasons to fight. Just seems to me that Anet has just ignored wvw over the last year or so……and wvw has suffered because of that.

Ah well, I plan on taking an extended break and coming back after HoT is released…..maybe there will be some worthwhile additions to wvw and the game in general after that expansion.

I’m talking about wvw, was just quoting someone about EotM. All tho I would personally like to see wvw go in the direction of EotM where maps are usually busy, you can find a blob and wanders(AT ALL TIMES). The only difference being is no more servers, just guilds earning points for their assigned faction that week. When wvw first started out you would play against new servers every week and most servers had a good wvw guild or 3, and wvw was almost always interesting to play.

Now it’s been almost a year since i’ve had an epic battle in wvw, because it’s the same people playing the same week, with no new blood and the wvw scene is dying. Strategies use to matter, now it’s a one sided blob fest the majority of the time.

I have the enchantment reward boosts, i pick the experience booster at the top and then I receive 20 minutes instead of an hour.

Still broken……………. Is anybody out there?

So you basically want WvW.

WvW doesn’t give you map completion, and it’s usually a big zerg, which doesn’t require to much skill in getting kills. pve you can have a party size of 5.

A lot of people complain about trolling, and while yes there will always be a few players like that WHO YOU CAN BLOCK FROM CHAT, but you are talking about .01% of the players. I’ve been trolled by that many people wanting me to join their guilds. We deal with it and play on. Also a decent amount of these players wouldn’t be in the maps(most pvpers don’t pve), meaning there would be more people for world bosses, so not really taking away from events. Not to mention if people trolled constantly and got reported constantly, bans wouldn’t be uncommon.

As for flagging up give it a minute cool down so you can’t just gank and go back to normal.

You do realize you don’t have to zerg in WvW right?

Theres PLENTY of small scale, 5 man roaming teams

On what server? lol, do you play wvw?

still broken………………………………

longbow ranger was a thing for how long? If they really cared about the pvp system, they would be making balances at least every other month not every other year.

Bump still broken.

Readinga bout a lot of gvg, I think it would be great if there was a seperate gvg map that contributed to your teams color that week. I say teams color because I believe servers are an out dated system that need to be re worked.

Here I was hoping that would be some news as to when the leaderboards would be fixed.

Same is it even worth playing ranked? All those people saying there score isn’t getting updated.

I would like to see raids, new dungeons, and better ai. Tired of everyone wanting to glitch to win.

Paulytnz.7619:

HamHat.5201:

I guess I just don’t get it. I never saw the fun in grinding or tricking the ai to win(which seems to be all that gw is in pve), but it sounds like this is how people want guild wars. Maybe i’ll get lucky and they will make wvw fun again.

Notice the part I put in bold there? It is PVE we want and are doing. What you are wanting and asking for is PVP inside of PVE.

There is plenty more to do than run dungeons and grind. Have you done all the jps, world complete and mini dungeons? There is living story and the list goes on. I don’t grind and I don’t run dungeons and yet there’s things for me to work on. There are achievements. It seems you are just a pvper who just does not want to do the pvp that we have here so I don’t know what to say to you…..

Actually I have done it all, thats the problem. No new dungeons since release. Did a good majority of the achievements, all tho you won’t catch me grinding for 5k warhorn kills. Completed every jp more than once, lvl 50 fractal. done. All that’s left to do is pvp and I get bored doing map completion with my new friends I bring over to guild. I just want something to keep the person that has done everything entertained, because the no new content is killing me(not counting the new content that is nothing but grinding).

I don’t want to alarm you but anet doesn’t care about pvp. Fact.

I want custom ammies. If only….

I’m in tier 1 NA and I rarely see a queue on the maps anymore. Even at reset the queues are brief and quite small. I’m hoping some population returns when HoT is finally released (March 2053). Stale match-ups and virtually no new content added to the game for months has probably caused a lot of people to leave and take a break.

That’s likely because all the players are on their secondary accounds working to get YB into T1 or whatever their plan was and also to trick anet into believing T1 isn’t full anymore so the servers open up again. I don’t think T1 is “dead”

]

Ok maybe not dead, but certainly as busy as it use to be. Now it’s usually one map zurging, I rarely run into the big fights I use to run into frequently.

Um, how long exactly have you been on t1??? Since when has t1 played different servers every week, Ive been on t1 since SoR rose up to it and we played bg and jq for over a year, and it has been bg v jq v tc since, when exactly was there different servers every week? T1 servers in NA and EU are both full and unless your afk during total dead times your statement of wvw being empty most of the time is completely false. Golem rush was a weeklong event, get over it, its done, in the past.

Your suggestion makes no sense whatsoever. Making wvw guild based destroys the whole concept of wvw aka WORLD VS WORLD, the whole point is for servers to be matched against servers and that includes everyone on that server. Forcing guilds at random to play on different colors every week, which btw you can do in eotm, will not only destroy wvw but guilds and servers as well.

I’ve been playing wvw since release. EotM is also always busy so again thanks for proving my point. Instead of just claiming it would destroy guilds please state theories as to why you think so? Destroying servers isn’t the worse idea ever, everything besides wvw is mega server. And everyone that wants to join the tier 1 servers can’t, meaning wvw is dying off, because we can’t get fresh players into the servers.

I believe it would make guilds stronger because they would want to be recruiting more people who can help carry a server every week, instead of relying on some one else to do it.

There would be no point in server transfer, it’s an old system that doesn’t work anymore. That’s why I think there should be a guild transfer system that is much more cost effective, that way anet no longer is targeting only wvw players but all players, meaning the price of transfers would be lower for all.

No offense, but it seems like you dont understand what your saying. If eotm is your model for better wvw, you just lost all credibility right there, you completely misunderstood my point about eotm/color system and guilds. Guilds can go to eotm anytime to do exactly what you suggested. What purpose is there to destroying servers, reworking transfer fees, pushing guilds at random to fight on different servers all in favor of making wvw better….??? Do you not see your contradiction? WvW means world vs world its not guild centered, guilds play an important role but wvw is not designed around guilds.

eotm is a great map, different from the rest which is nice, there are always big fights happening at eotm, but at the end of the day it’s about karma farming and not winning fights(that’s the downside to eotm your guild certainly does’t win anything from eotm, not even bragging rights).

Wryscher.1432:

If guilds were set to random colors every week, what would be the point of transferring? I guess I’m confused.

There would be no point in server transfer, it’s an old system that doesn’t work anymore. That’s why I think there should be a guild transfer system that is much more cost effective, that way anet no longer is targeting only wvw players but all players, meaning the price of transfers would be lower for all.

Real talk. I remember when you use to play different servers every week and it was always a new challenge, now most of the time wvw is empty and i’m on a tier 1 server. Now add the golem rush and it’s just a grind like every other map.

My suggestions for making it better. Make wvw guild based(Random guilds sent to a different color every week and make the guild transfer cost affordable, none of this over the top server movement payment. That fee is only aimed at wvw, with a guild transfer fee that is applicable to anyone.

That would kill the dead servers, bring back guild pride, KEEP WVW INTERESTING, keep money flowing to anet, add a new system to reward guilds besides guild events, and probably more things i missed.

They should start to put the smaller servers together, everyone deserves a decent wvw server, roaming for an hour and finding nothing is just sad :’(

SkiTz.4590:

There is already WvW… go have at it. that’s as close as you will get to open world pvp.

And to say it wouldnt take much resources to implement is absolutely stupid. You have no idea how much that work it would take to make ALL the PvE maps into something thats totally open world PvP..

WvW is a joke, and you obviously don’t understand the point of flagging up, it would be a skill you have that lets you fight other people, making new skills isn’t a year of work. So it is you that is not understanding.

Haleydawn.3764:

HamHat.5201:

But again an option where a player can flag up and fight other people who flag up, wouldn’t take a complete over haul. Oh well if the game makers are lazy, can’t do much about that except not buy the expansion.

Do you even know how programming works? Something that seems like it would be easy or “just the push of a button” really isn’t. You’re talking about a function to manually override player characters to become hostiles. In the open world which has been layered with thousands of lines of code.

Guild Halls will have a PvP sandbox and from what I’ve read it sounds really good.

Yes I am a programmer, i’m sure they were thinking in the way of adding pvp servers in addition to the megaserver, that would be a nightmare. and if / else statement to turn players read would take work, but not a complete re write.

Endless Soul.5178:

Yeah, I tried open world PvP in another game, where anyone can come along and gank you at any time, even when you’re talking to an NPC, even though there were flagged challenge areas. It didn’t take long for me to uninstall that game.

No thanks.

Yes i’ve played a system like that as well, when you can kill just any one it ruins the game. The idea here is that only people who chose to “flag up” can fight each other, having no affect on people who are not “flagged up”.

This thread needs to be at the top…. Problem still active.

Add an option where you can “flag up” and fight other players who also decide to “flag up(not regular players)”, it would make map completion actually fun! The idea here is that only people who chose to “flag up” can fight each other, having no affect on people who are not “flagged up”.

bump. Same problem.

Update condi cleanse times for all classes. I love that condi’s are so strong and counter everyone, it adds a different dimension to the game. However the only counter to condi champs are other condi champs and shout warrior. All classes/builds should have the option to trait against condi heavy players, even if it means taking away a bit from your build, it’s better than playing shout warrior only.

cele ele isn’t really all that op, they are actually pretty healthy they have counters and counter other classes. condi engi on the other hand only countered by another condi engi and longbow ranger, and counter every one else.

bs update… the problem isn’t might, condi cleanse times need to be updated for all classes, and why buff engi when they are already the best pvp class? At least gaurd got a small buff to keep up with the new meta, doubt it will help tho.

Was playing a ranked game where longbow rangers would stand on red pillar of sanctum, they can hit you with out taking any damage unless you line up just right(until they move one step back) or walk all the way around map to come up behind them. A bit unfair.

wow not one negative thing about dueling. Maybe it’s time to add it anet…

The game isn’t really balanced when it comes to dueling, but the feature request would probably mostly be used between friends/parties waiting to que for their next 10 minute wait for a ranked game. Why not have a little fun while waiting. Not to mention dueling is probably the best practice you can get on your character. Who doesn’t want to improve?
