Guild Wars 2

Everything is condi!
Utterly terrible anet.

lmaogg.7325:

what is this? Time travel? Am I real?

Is this a camera? Is everything a camera?

You need to understand that there’s so much lag in WvW that you can often only auto attack.
To nerf the one skill that you can actually use (for absolutely no reason) is totally ridiculous, and just hilights once again how far out of touch A net are with the game mode.

GG anet, release new content, then wreck your soft ware so no one can play it.
Have you been taking notes from Trion?

Why not try actually playing your own game anet?

Or at least speaking to ppl who do before trying to kill your own game with terrible choices.

Klipso.8653:

Don’t have to worry about your participation bar if you participate.

More like ’Don’t have to worry about wvw if you’ve destroyed wvw’ – Anet

Elric Of Melnibone.4781:

How about most of the people in this thread actually playing with the fix before condemning ArenaNet for not testing it?

If a camp really gets you 10 minutes and a sentry gets you five, that’s plenty of time to get to another objective and actually DO something.

I am curious how much killing a guard gets you as they are plentiful and do earn you WxP, not to mention credit for the objective if it’s taken later by someone else.

Scouting keeps is DOING something, what do you get for that?

Condi is a joke atm, simple as that.
Spammy, brain dead builds aren’t fun to play or play against.

The biggest issue in wvw is balance, not rewards and shinny fluff.
Game will inevitably die if it’s not sorted, please pay attention anet.

@ Eater of Peeps.

I was in the raid you are referring to, so lets get a couple things straight.

The commander decided to make a new squad and only invite people who were in TS and knew what they were doing.
This was absolutely the right decision, our results improved dramatically.

Initially I was sympathetic to your situation, but you managed to destroy that with your extraordinary, 3 hour, textual eruption in team chat.
I’ve honestly never seen spam of that magnitude, most of the server were convinced that you were a troll.
You can’t come to this forum and claim the moral high ground, when you spent the entire evening telling the com ‘I hope terrible things happen to you IRL’.

I will also add that even if you had been in the squad, you would have been little more than a rally bot/bag.
The gear that you linked in chat (which no one asked for) showed that you were running a full zerker guard.
If you don’t understand why this would be a bad thing for yourself and the group as a whole, I suggest you do a little more research into the game mode before blaming others.

It really is a bit of a joke at the moment,
You have tons of players coming back to check out the changes.
THEY WILL NOT STAY LONG TERM.
Despite what a few vocal people post on here, 90-95% of the players I speak to into hate the condi meta with a passion.

Its terrible low skill, fire and forget.
Even if you go for a build with as much condi clear as possible, its never anywhere near enough.

Anet please, PLEASE do something about this now.
You have a great opportunity to save this game mode, don’t waste it.

And to anyone saying ‘LTP’, you’re being very short sighted about the good of the game.

Yeah, I just got 52 stacks of bleed in half a second.

For the love of god Anet, give the game a chance, BALANCE IT SEPARATELY!!

Well you are returning player so you probably have some l2p issues. Weird thing is that i never get these kind of stacks. Do you just run straight in red circles or something or do that follow commander thing that is so 2014.

lol he would have died way before reach 50 stack XD, last time i got was arround 20 of several condis in a second…. used my shout that removed all condis to me… how clever of Anet make one shout being auto suicide button…. for the caster.

I was on a tanky reaper, so I didn’t die instantly.
And it was 52 stacks.

Did you get enough time to send them to an enemy, though?

No, I only had time to lose 2 health bar and die.

I wasn’t even using plague singet, so it’s not like I was drawing all the condi on to me

I haven’t played WvW (or GW2) for quite a while
With the imminent arrival of the new feature pack I decided to give it a look, I’m sure I won’t be the only one returning.

But if you want any hope of keeping these players though, you’re going to have to do something about balance.

The games so full of condi, its just, uh, yuk.
I can’t quite believe how much condi I’m seeing.
It’s incredibly dull to play against.

It doesn’t matter how good the new rewards are, if the combat isn’t fun its all for naught.

Please just balance WvW separately so you can tone conditions down to manageable levels, give the game mode a chance to succeed.

I’ll show support for anet when they show support for WvW.
Or at the very least have the courtesy to explain to their customers why they have abandoned the game mode.

WvW isnt supposed to be balanced, if you want balance go to pvp.

If anything there should be MORE of an advantage for legendary gear.
One of the reason this game (as a whole, not really WvW) is losing players, is lack of gear progression.

It’s far too easy to get and switch ascended these days.
The only thing to spend gold on is more skins, so good drops become pointless.
It’s terrible and self defeating design.
MMORPGs with nothing to aim for don’t work, simple as that.

Anet have basically abandoned WvW.

If they allocated the resources needed they could still save it.
If WvW had a revamp right now, I believe that a lot of former players would at least give it a go.
But there are other RvR games upcoming, time is running out.

ah, ty.
I’ve been away from the game for a while, is this a new thing?

I’ve completed the heart events 3 times now.
Then the next day when I log in they have gone again.
Getting pretty boring now, lol.

Please sort this out, its getting ridiculous.
What should be a great feature is now really annoying and spoiling a lot of peoples enjoyment.

Ferroz.9138:

And still bugged Modnir reward..

Still bugged.
Come on, can’t be that hard to fix.
It’s holding loads of ppl up.

Why are they trying to make it so hard to defend stuff?
I don’t get it.

Its simply going to be a gimmicky K- train for PvE players, just as Anet have wanted all along.
Best and most original thing about GW2 has always been WvW, sadly its been terribly miss managed I this will finally kill it.

Don’t expect Blacktide to be bothered about the hackers, they seem to love them.
I’m guessing the ones who care about such things have already left the server.
All you get from BT are comments like ‘All is fair in war’, as a server they try every trick in the book.

STILL awaiting response form ANet.

I wonder what would happen if this was in T1?

It has a long term effect as it shows the company have no idea what a majority of players want from the game mode.

Also, a week is a long time in gaming.
It gave people like me chance to go off and play other stuff and enjoy it.

I definitely feel a lot less enthusiasm for this game than I did a week ago, and I don’t think its going to come back over night.

Ah yes, because it was clearly added in because they thought people wanted that specific change… and not at all just to shake things up a bit (which is actually exactly what people have been demanding since release more or less).

It was a week of fun. Some people liked it, others didn’t. Now people move on with their life like nothing have happened.

Again, you need to talk for yourself here.
This thread asked who was put off buying the xpac by last weeks events, I was so I responded.
If you want to go start a thread like’ Whos super excited for HoT?’ nothing stopping you.

I’ve posted the what I feel about the situation and I have you telling me I’m wrong.

You can’t deny though that a majority of commenters on this forum really dislike it.

I think the event is boring since there is rarely any fights but you can’t say just use the forums and judge it on that seeing as there are tons of people running around in golems..

If the majority of people in wvw hated it you wouldn’t be seeing golems still running around. Now people can go on and say those are all PVE’ers running around in golems, and most may be, but if they are having fun I’m sure they will come back even after the event.

I’ve seen lots of new faces actually asking questions about what builds they should be running around with which makes me think they will be here after this event is over.

I didn’t say ‘use the forums to judge it’ , I said that a majority of posters seem to strongly dislike it.

And I completely disagree about the bringing in new people.
Most will probably either get bored or die very quickly in a normal WvW week if their only experience is running around in a golem k-train.

If you want to get new blood in you need to do something that enhances actual WvW (e.g. better rewards), not a gimmick week that totally perverts normal playing conditions.

Correct you didn’t say that but in a way you are using the forums. I bet the majority of people that liked this event haven’t even come here to post about it.

You can disagree all you want about getting new players but if you accept the new players and show them that you can have fun without golems they will stick around.

I seen several people say pve’ers are the ones running around in golems, which might be true, but let them pve’ers have fun and like I pointed out if you show them fun after the event I’m sure they will stick around.. If you keep looking at them as just “pve’ers” well they sure won’t want to stick around.

Also I don’t mean you as you personally. Just I read other forums as well and the amount of people poking fun at pve’ers isn’t going to keep those pve’ers in wvw.

Maybe this is varying form match up to match up, but I’m not seeing these new players anyway.
In our current MU we have one server that PvD k-trains and avoids fights anyway, they just have their normal guilds out.
The other two servers are dead.

I can only go on what I see, but there is NOTHING positive to be taken form this week.
Only lots of negativity and resentment toward ANet.

The whole thing (and Anet response) is an insult to people who play WvW every week and have made the game mode what it is.

I’m not really insulted so please speak for yourself.. I play every day, not every week, and even played every day during this boring event. Some how, unlike many, I found ways to make it fun..

I am speaking for myself and the people I know in wvw.
I’m in a guild that raids every night, and every one in it agrees that this event is the most stupid thing they’ve seen in GW2.
Also my server is very dead this week, a lot of guys from other guilds I’ve talked to hate it as much as I do.

I know though that some people enjoy it.
In our current match up we’re up against a server that’s renowned for back capping everything and avoiding fights, its heaven to them.
So I guess what type of server/guild you’re in is really going to determine if you think this week has been a good idea or not.

You can’t deny though that a majority of commenters on this forum really dislike it.

Nothing has brought me closer to quitting GW2 than this terrible event.
I certainly won’t be buying HoT now, I can’t be the only one.

HitmanHaydon.1053:

I’ve not met on player on my server who has anything good to say about it, not one.

Maybe you haven’t met any but I’m sure you can see them running around in golems. Thing is if someone was to say in map chat “wow this is fun” people would flame them, call them names just like they have done on these forums. I never get why people trash talk people on their own servers as all that does is lead to drama. I’ve never seen drama do good for any server.

Just like every other arguments in these forums the ones that enjoy it don’t speak out much. For every one person that says they do like something they have a horde of people bashing them. Its probably not worth their time to even post here so many people keep their opinions to themselves.

Last time I went to wvw was Saturday.
I ran around EB for an hour and only saw 3 PEOPLE IN TOTAL.
No idea whats happening on others servers, mine absolutely hate it.

TJgalon.5012:

Who knows, you still have the same style in the normal borderland as eotm, the differnce is you defend points longer sure. I, really don’t see the hate bside you can’t defend as easily this week, but that just me, i know as many people keep saying, i don’t play wvw enough it seem, so i could be wrong

A lot of people (me included) like upgrading, scouting and defending, that’s been rendered obsolete this week.

Its not just that though, its the fact that everyone knew what it would be like apart form Anet.
Its a lot of worries about the future (or lack of) the players have had for a long time, coming to ahead because of this issue.

TJgalon.5012:

This is why people dislike posting, cause you have to say things like that. Just cause you hate the event does not mean the event is bad, and just because I like the event, does not mean it good. I am allowed to have an opinion, just like you are.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion and you shouldn’t have to suffer abuse for yours.

That said, its pretty obvious that a large majority of people on hear are massively against golem week.
I’ve not met on player on my server who has anything good to say about it, not one.

I have received FOUR infractions in this forum since this Golem Event started,

this will get you another so you know

I’m sure it will. But it’s stupid what’s happening in this forum and all I really want is to be able to play the game without being forced to farm all day like a zombie. Why is Anet ignoring an entire portion of their playerbase? It makes no sense to me.

Because WvWers don’t fit in with their plan to make all of GW2 ultra-casual.
I now honestly believe that they had no idea what WvW would be like when they created it.
The players make it what it is, and sadly Anet don’t like it.

LOL, I guess they didn’t like a thread titled ‘Your idea is TERRIBLE’ getting so many replys.

Just popped into EB to see how bad it is.
Everything’s paper and the whole maps empty.
Utterly stupid idea

I play only WvW, well I did before this week.
Now I play only other MMOs.

I’m in a WvW guild who raid nearly every evening and scout during the day.
Just logged on and not one single person is in WvW, never seen that before.

Blaeys.3102:

In game, the maps are staying pretty full – moreso than usual it seems – and people seem to be having fun.

As I said earlier, its dangerous to use these forums to gauge actual community interest/involvement in something like this. Even forgetting that the forums are only a small representation of the game, its important to realize that a small negative element here browbeats anyone who disagrees with their perception – to the point where many choose to remain silent simply to avoid the inevitable attack. Makes for very one sided conversations.

Its full of PvErs and karma trainers who’ll be gone next week.
But will all the real WvW players be back thats the question.

Nope. Tried PvE instead, it sucked.

Well, guess I’m going to go find something else to play for a week.
Danger is though Anet, what if I like what I find and don’t come back, I can’t be the only one doing this.
You guys are playing dangerous game alienating your customers like this.

Dusk.3149:

you have my vote

And my axe

xev.9476:

I think the decision to implement this event was incompetent, and anyone who regularly WvWs (and isn’t blinded by novelty for the sake of novelty) would have been able to explain this to you (and DID explain this). That WvW has been stale for so long doesn’t mean that any event is a good event, and just because this event is only a week long doesn’t mean that players should passively accept incredibly poor content. This event effectively negates the need for any sort of forethought, planning, or strategy in WvW – you don’t need to tap someone’s keep, employ misdirection, or even worry about veils and flanking. You suit up in as many golems as possible and steamroll everything – it’s a karma train on steroids.

Some people like the event; that’s fine. Sometimes I enjoy mindlessly ktraining in EotM, too. I just don’t want to do it all the time, and I really dislike it in regular/real WvW. If this is the kind of content ANet has planned for WvW then it’s clear to me that ANet isn’t capable of creating the kind of content I enjoy, and I guess I should move on.

Couldn’t agree more.
If this is what they think WvW needs, what’s the new map going to be like?
I’ve given up all hope now, sad day

Chokapik.3741:

I actually find it pretty funny to see everyone running around in golems, you should probably not take this so seriously.
Come on, it’s been 3 years of pretty much the same thing in WvW, they change things for one week, just have fun!

Thats like saying ‘Hey, you’ve been running having fun for 3 years, why not try it with forks stuck in your legs?’

TJgalon.5012:

antonbalboa.7280:

TJgalon.5012:

Except a new map and a bunch of new updates are coming soon. They are being worked on, and released when ever. For now we get a fun event for the week.

Define “fun”. Run in circles, spam1 and get structures? 7 days long?

don’t you already do that normally, at least now, were doing it in suits, and able to take one a few players at once before the suit gets over welm. I have to go to work, so only got to play for a hourish, but i had fun, even destoryed a suit. I can’t wait, maybe even when i get home, it might be more active due to it.

HitmanHaydon.1053:

Whoever thought this is a good idea should be sacked.
Won’t be playing for the rest of the week, and absolutely no chance I’ll pre order HoT now out of protest.

LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS

can you name one busness that does that. If you listen to them, most of the time, the ideas wont be helpful or upset a balance. I work in store, everyone wants reduce prices, lol.
Also saying your not going to pre order out of spite for a week events makes me wonder why they shopuld do more, if something like this gets you upset. It a game, have fun, not a borning job, lol.

Companies who ignore what their customers want end up with no customers.
Thats fairly simple and easy to understand.

TBH I wasn’t going to buy HoT anyway until Anet stop ignoring the rampant hacking, this debacle just reinforced that view.

No one will bother upgrading stuff, it will be a karma train.

Whoever thought this is a good idea should be sacked.
Won’t be playing for the rest of the week, and absolutely no chance I’ll pre order HoT now out of protest.

Slow hand clap
Utterly, utterly clueless about what WvWers want Anet.

Orochimaru.4730:

Aranunna.3467:

My husband and I just bought the expansion set, and right now we’re regretting that decision, if we would have known this 1 day before we would have stopped playing altogether.

And that yet another reason why WvW should not buy HoT as a sign of protest.

We’ve not even been given scraps when compared to the vast amount of updates and new content PvE has received.

By not buying and posting on here why is a way to try and get your opinions across to Anet. Though of course we have the issue of the devs not looking here, and the mod doing their stuff.

So the best way to protest is with your wallet, dont buy gems, dont buy the expansion; then see if they respond.

I’ve been on the fence about buying HoT.
Even though I’m not in this match up, just seeing how long its been going on for with zero response from Anet is enough to put me off buying it.

Really rough on you T9 guys
Last time I fought against Hacktide I just gave up and stopped playing, most demoralising thing I’ve faced in this game.
Makes you wonder how ANet would deal with this if it was happening in T1.

Its going to turn into a giant EotM style karma train.
Its obvious to anyone that understand how wvw works.
