defending gets no reward

How to reward defence without making it easy for bots and AFK players?

Hmmm

Afk players do not gain any form of reward during defensive actions, they must be active to get it, bots on the other hand are indeed an issue.

Add more maps = no more queues

Hmm

Better ideas would be to :

1. Move the jump puzzles from each of the maps into 1 zone, that way it would have its own queue, freeing up some places in the 4 current maps.
2. Have overflow WvW maps, where the objectives do not count towards the point tally. People still get to do WvW, but the super-servers with their larger populations do not gain any points advantages from the extra maps.

Can't really do the daily in WvW anymore

They’re not the same set of 10 or whatever options. The whole list will change every day. And no, you couldn’t do the whole list yesterday in WvW.

(FIRST)10 WvW invader kills
40 kills in ascalonian zones – can’t, no WvW maps are “ascalonian” maps
40 kills in Norn(?) zones – can’t, no WvW maps are “Norn” maps
1 fractal – Duh.
5 sidekicked events(you’re downleveled) – Can’t – there is no downleveling in WvW at all
(SECOND) 10 salvages
(THIRD) 3 skill points – possible, but I usually get about a skill point per 90 minutes in WvW
(FOURTH) 20 gathering

So likely 3, max of 4 in wvw.
Not that I didn’t still go to PvE and finish it, but I’ve been doing the dailies in WvW only since their introduction, and only a couple times gone to PvE when it was slow in WvW and needed “healer”.

That being said, it’s still not going to be hard to do them.

You only listed 8 total options when there are 9. My list matched the list the guy posted later with the kill variety and stuff, so I have no idea where this list came from or what the 9th is but I bet it can be done in WvW giving you a possible 5/5.

That list is from yesterday after the patch went live and before the daily got reset. So personally, I completed 2 dailies yesterday.

Some of the events that used to count towards the daily no longer do, I have not yet been into WvW so I am not sure why group events will be counted as yet.

I am not sure why some people were lumping TUP & RG together. TUP had announced their decision prior to RG making theirs, and for a totally different set of reasons. I started on Piken in september, and in all that time I have never had anything other than respect for the way TUP operated, they were a credit to PS as I am sure they will be a credit to their new server.

With BOON also announcing they are leaving Piken, we are losing another good guild. I wish both BOON and TUP well at their new homes.

2. ArenaNet posted once explaining that you only queue for 1 map at a time. So if you queue for Border A now and 5 minutes later for Border B, you leave the queue for Border A.

It was Jade Sea borderlands and I only tried to get into that one.

Fair enough, I will have to test it as I thought I had experienced differently, but as I am old hippy, lets just say my memory isn’t what it used to be ;-).

Our guild of 125 is moving to Piken tomorrow night. We got about 4 commanders in our guild so that will help you guys.

Help to increase the duration of the queues unless you are non EU prime time…

But that’s not what I’m talking about, I’m talking about the fact that people here say they are in a queue for 3 hours, which is just insane and unnecessary. How is it that one person has to wait 3 hours when the other gets in within 20 minutes? When the person that gets in after 20 min probably started queueing AFTER the 3 hours guy. That’s not my fault, and not the fault of the players trying to get in.

Hmmm

1. The queues appear buggy. They are not FIFO (First in First Out). It appears to be random as to who enters the border and has no bearing as to when they entered the queue.
2. If you queue up for all 4 maps then the average time that you spend in the queue is substantially less than if you only queue up for 1 specific border. Obviously this impacts the guilds that are raiding a particular border.

I’m just telling people that they can reduce their queuetime from 3 hours to 10-30 mins, because it IS possible. People disconnect from the game more often than you think (for whatever reason). Yesterday I started queueing at 7:25pm CET, requeued after 15 min and got in at 7:46.snip…

In your example above, you neglect to state what map(s) you were queueing for. Can you clarify as to whether it was for a specific map, or for multiple maps?
