Chill out.

If whatever happens does indeed have the effect of destroying WvW communities as we know it, I’ll be out the door with you. But that can be saved for latter. There is no need to fret over what is most likely an incomplete draft that would naturally seem overly specific and exclusionary.

But I and others most likely do understand that there are things at stake here that you value, but there’s no point in getting angry without all the details. What Arenanet does need to know is that you and others have invested time and other resources to build whatever you have right now, and those efforts should not be in vain.

If you know anything about GW2 History, you should know that “All is Vain.”

Same with me. I’ve not had these types of disconnects in a long time. Please fix.

This is Gamebreaking and needs to be HOT Fixed ASAP Anet. Please by the love of the almighty RNG Gods, we need this fixed TODAY!

+1 and a few more characters so I an post this.

The Hacking Destroys the reputation of the game over time. This needs to be fixed Anet.

In my opinion, there isn’t a problem with scoring. The problem is stagnation and a stale/aging game mode.

This could be addressed by doing several things:

1) A reward track in WvW similar to SPVP so people have more rewards for playing.
2) New Maps that are part of the PPT (not just an overflowmap) We need two to replace two of the boarderlands.
3) There needs to be some punishment for zerging in the game (not sure what but maybe . . . )
allowing AoE damage up to 10 players but keep boons and heals at 5. This will minimize zerg play and help lower Tiers.
Change the outmanned buff to a localized area where there is orange swords giving enemies in the area buffs that scale based on how outnumbered you are. This would not be for the entire map but an area near the orange swords on the map for example at >5 everyone gets stability for 3 seconds with a 10 second cool down on rinse and repeat, then >10, everyone gets quickness in addition to stability on the same rotation, etc. This of course would need tweaking and balancing
4) Introduce Guild vs Guild in a meaningful way so it includes the PvE population. For example if you take a tower, keep, SMC, whatever, then your Guild can queue into a GVG guild match. Then you are matched against other GvG that hold the same location on the other tiers. So if HEL holds SMC and que for the map, let’s call it the Hall of Heroes to bring back a Guild Wars 1 concept, then the OnS holds it in BG, and SF on Jade Quary, and so on and so on for all the tiers, then that Guild can queue for a one time quick GvG match on that map. Once the cycle is over another GvG match is started. Or it can be round robin style, whatever the concept is bring GvG to the map. This could also open up an area in Tyria for PvE folks to run an instance that’s only available to that server that wins the matchups. It could be broadcasted throughout chat in the game that OnS Onslaught has won a battle in the Hall of Heroes and the Temple of Ages open up the Fissure of Woe or the Underworld instance for 10 minutes. This would give us reasons to defend points in WvW and to win GvG’s. They could also be ranked over a period of Seasons.

I think those ideas would bring more people into the game. You could even have GvG give some benefit in PPT (score not from tick) for those who win 3 in a row.

We need people back in WvW again playing the game, so just give the players what they want, or any modification you make for the existing game mode will only be a band aid until the population is completely gone. My 2 cents. Peace!

My completion says there is 16/18 heats but the guide only shows 16. I’ve looked everywhere and have the map uncovererd. Did they had two hearts to the map.

so if I buy a commander tag now for 100g to get a blue one, will I get to choose a new color after the patch or will it still be blue?

There’s a difference between natural and organic 2 v 1 that happens in a match than systematically Trading Weeks that is happening this season in Tier 1 matches between JQ, BG, and TC. If two servers decide to “allow” the other to win as well as organizing 2 v 1, then there is nothing you can do about that. 2 v 1 will always happen and should happen against the stronger server as a strategy. However, Match Manipulation should not be allowed and Anet now has a problem it needs to solve.

Paradox.8563:

just wanted to add my combo/costume that i wont be able to have after the update.

Witchs Hat (male) – [&AgEajgAA]
Mad Kings Coat – [&AgELjgAA]
Mad Kings Gloves – [&AgEMjgAA]
Witchs Boots – [&AgEXjgAA]

i will be sad

Yep, I love the phantom Mask with my witch costume in white on my Asura. I spend a lot of time in costume brawl using the mad king throrn scepter in that costume set up and its a blast. Its by far the coolest looking outfit imo and is better than 99% of most of the armors. I’m very disappointed that I can’t mix and match that set anymore. It would be great if I could and play in that set after the patch.

Viking Jorun.5413:

I don’t get the offense of mixing different Asian cultures to achieve an entirely new one. Cantha is not Chinese, Korean, or Japanese. It’s Cantha. The sooner NCSoft comes to accept it as it’s own culture within a fantasy world, the sooner development can begin on it. ^^

I totally understand why they would be offended. It would be like having various types of various Western Cultures, like mixing Norse, Greek, Roman, and Celtic Mythologies/Stories and Influences in Tyria. That would be very offensive to me and my Western Culture. Oh WAIT, now I’m OFFENDED!

I would like to see the Carrion Ascended Rings added to the game.

So does this mean we have to run to the map and we can’t way point there from another map? So if I’m in Divinity’s Reach, I can’t just way point to Orr because everything is contested? This is confusing.

Some waypoints are contestable, others stay open all the time. There’s several of the latter in each zone. You’ll only be able to port from another map to those that stay open all the time.

Ok, thank you. That’s not very clear in the description.

Quote: "As a player, this will impact you in the following ways:
Waypoints—All contestable waypoints on any map you’re not currently playing in will always appear contested. When you arrive in the map, you will be able to travel to these waypoints pending their local status.
Dungeons—You will no longer be able to tell if a dungeon entrance is open until you’re on the same map.
Temples of Orr—The cross-map mechanics of these temples will be disabled. Instead, god statues will be active only when the nearest temple is contested.

So does this mean we have to run to the map and we can’t way point there from another map? So if I’m in Divinity’s Reach, I can’t just way point to Orr because everything is contested? This is confusing.

I’ve had terrible lag since Season 2 started until the patch today, and now its much better. I was in a 3 way battle at Bay TC/BG/JQ and it was 95% better than earlier. so THANKS!

RIP WvW Matchup Forums.

World vs World is going to slowly become as casual as Anet intended it to be. Just a matter of time now. I hope I’m wrong. I would gladly eat my words to be wrong.

Personally, I don’t care about the whole God part of it, I just want to see it changed from representing Servers to picking “Alliances.” Each Guild can form an Alliance like in GW1, and when you go into WvW, you are matched based on ladders to fight two other Alliances. The Alliances would have a cap on how many guilds can be members of the Alliance.

For those who can’t get into an Alliance, or happen to be Guildless, there could be public Guild/Alliances created for those who want to participate in game but don’t really have an interest in playing for ladders, so these match-ups would be random.

I’m not sure if they care or not, but I can tell you that I’m beginning to not care because WvW is stale. The Conclusion to Leagues has caused the population in WvW to die off, and now we have PvE content, other new games in beta that will release soon, and I’m concerned that WvW may not recover unless Anet does something big for my beloved game mode.

Wednesday Morning and only six pages so far in this post. The forum is as empty as WvW.

I don’t really agree with it not matching anything. I came up with this set before I even saw their post (of course now I look like the rip off) but I was also going for a grenth look and this is what I came up with, with what limited supplies I had in sPvP

What gloves did you use?

Awesome Video! 15 characters.

If it wasn’t for the “roamers” posting in this thread, I don’t think we would be at page 7 yet. LOL

I think its funny how Mag roamers have complained about plex runes, condi, tanky builds, zergs, ads to fights, etc. They have no clue what T-1 roamers have had to fight in a JQ/SoR/BG match-up for weeks on end. Just by the rage I see from the posts, I think if they ever “roamed” in a T-1 match-up, it would make them have an aneurysm.

Like it or not, it is the Meta, no sense in complaining about it, just adapt or go duel for the week until the match-up is over.

Btw you had more than 8 against 3 oPP( 2 on toons they hardly ever play i might add) and some pugs but why am i expecting you of all people to be honest.

I thought I remembered reading about OPP and how they were a roaming group. Expected to find them something along the lines of AoN. What I did see however was a group of 10 with some pugs thrown in (cant really blame you for the pugs) building siege in north camp against 5 or so of us.

It is what it is, but please dont blow smoke about being outnumbered and such.

I don’t really consider oPP a roaming guild. There are some good players in it, but most of the guild just sits on the island with as many people as they can and adds on fights.

We sit there because we’re bored, looking for a group to fight. We can’t find good fights as a group. I was expecting more 5 man roaming groups on Mag, but we’ve yet to see any that aren’t next to their Legendary Defenders. Yes, you have some that will run around in mix pug groups of 10 or so ADDS, like De|rp/Pyro/random Pugs/IL, but that’s about it. We’ve had one fight with HDA that was nice. It was a good fight, but after we won, they disappeared.

I’ve almost come to the conclusion Mag is a solo roamer server almost exclusively or in groups of 10+, no in-between.

I finally saw AoN today by the windmill while I was dueling, right before I had to log off. But the weeks not over yet.

Watched some/ participated in some good duels against Mag today by Windmill. Heidia, February, Slynn, DocMed, Sanny, all kicking but too. To the thief from RaGe I dueled, GG.

Hope to get some more in this week.

dreztina.4820:

The only person from Opp I’ve fought so far was a thief, but he was on SoR, so not sure what was up with that. Tribute guild maybe?

That’s our spy, here we go again. LOL

lol hammer trains old meta. It makes sense though, these T1 guys less skilled and deal with massive lag and queues all day. Might as well roll an 80 man hammer train and press 1111111111. They don’t know how to play other classes or use their other abilities in open field, mainly for the lag. Seriously though… they’ve got their PPT. So….

Could this be rmprodigy (mark 2)?

Don’t bother responding. The mantra of Maguuma is that no one on any of the T1 servers is any good and they are the bestest, it is like talking to extreme religious nutters.

Or maybe we’re all individuals and can’t be categorically filed away as “Maguuma”

I had fun feeding oPP guys bags at NN late last night, shame they fell back to building two ballistas and a superior arrow cart against PUGs. Perhaps full zerk without group support wasn’t the best idea on my part but it’s just fun making really big numbers and forcing organized groups to peel and focus with a single skills use.

WE do that when we get bored and looking for entertainment.

Sounds thrilling but I think you’re doing it wrong, you put trebs up and treb the citadel with cows. Get on NWT’s level.

I don’t know what NWT is but, yeah when its siege we usually do it wrong but we’re okay with that.

Does this meet your approval?

Snafu.7412:

I fought an oPP thief last night on Mag BL he hit like a wet noodle and then stealthed away. Couldn’t be bothered to chase him. I know all your blobs run PVT gear but do your roamings groups run PVT aswell?

Based on your description you ran into our troll thief and fearless leader, and yes he can run into a zerg and survive but he can also whittle you down in a prolonged fight.

Some fights from last night. We ran into more blobs than anything and I got rolled over a couple of times when I didn’t see it coming. But in 3.5 hours of play this was as good as it got while roaming . . .

Jado Cast.1805:

What map does AoN usually play on during the week?

It really depends. Generally a BL, more often then not either SoR or BG, but we tend to move a lot to try and keep on the map where we are outmanned and our other organized groups are not running. We like EBG but until after the weekend its too laggy for precision play.

~TLDR most often SoR or BG BL.

Ok, thanks. Hope to see you on the Battlefield

What map does AoN usually play on during the week?

Been looking forward to this matchup. Heard Mag had some great roaming guilds. We ran into a small group of HDA, but haven’t found too many yet. Hopefully due to reset night, but hope to see more small man groups to fight this week.

Okay, so I’ll admit I was trolling pretty hard last week and early this week because I was tired of the chest thumping by SoR and some guilds, but they appear to stop with their tolling. So can we make the last few pages this week GG’s instead of trolling?

Let’s get back to fighting and get ready for a BULL rush.

“In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him. I think it’s impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves. And then, in that very moment when I love them…. I destroy them.”
~ Orson Scott Card, Ender’s Game

I just wanted to say, I LOVE YOU SoR! ;-) j/k

:) I heard you were watching a transformer marathon.

I’m happy BULL chose SoR, This should make things fun. Now if SoR and BG could politely point the next EU guild interested in moving to NA, to JQ before week 5 that would be greatly appreciated.

IF and I said IF, BG wins season one, I don’t want to hear Stackgate excuses.

Thieves need more condi clear. I like everything else in the change.

However, be careful adding “cast” times on a class that should be mobile and fluid or you will damage the playstyle and people who like that playstyle will give up on the class.

The thief should not have as much evades, I agree, but we do need the fast pace “hit and run” feel which you may be limiting with the sword.

RobF.5864:

Let me put it another way – trying to get back to my guild and help them with a tower defence or open field battle is more important than spending five minutes trying to stay alive against players primarily built to kill me.

If I die fast I respawn fast so I get to my guild fast…….unless I meet roamers again ofc ;P

I know its hard to believe but fighting against roamers comes pretty down on my list of priorities.

I never said it was supposed to be your priority. It’s just really silly when you want to get back to a PPT objective, but we kill you and gain PPT for our server, and you didn’t even try to stop us. We still get PPT for stomps after all, its much lower than it was (sadly), but the free kills we get really add up… and those kills really shouldn’t be free.

A lot of the time, we end up camping a spawn just so people like that will fight us (because they have a group).

The other flip side of that coin (seeing as you brought PPT into the discussion) is while we are taking a tower, keep or even a camp, doesnt it seem a bit silly to just spawn camp or whatever it is you are doing to find your battles when you could be helping your server mates defend a objective?

Its silly that you want to fight but wont go to where we are fighting, you would rather wander in hope of finding some one instead of going to where you know definite action is. If your server mates are losing that defense, you are helping us gain those free kills you hate so much.

This was an argument we use to face against our fellow guilds back in the day, but this proves that many don’t understand the roaming philosophy.

Spawn camping does help because the following happens:

1) We kill you so there is less of you in your zerg for our zerg to fight.
2) It will demoralize people trying to get back to their zerg, especially pugs.
3) Usually most get fed up and group up trying to push out and actually give us what we want which is a good fight.
4) In some cases, we jump a commander trying to get back and we see the entire zerg go back to their WP to group up taking you off the battlefield for a couple of minutes.

They are small contributions compared to what we can do for holding bloodlust, but it is effective.

As for joining the zerg fight, sorry not going to happen. I have better uses of my time than joining a lagfest spamming 1 1 1 1 1 1 all day. If you guys like doing that go for it, just not the roamer’s mentality. Zergs have an importance, but so do roamer’s especially with the new bloodlust meta.

We just wish there were more T-1 roaming guilds on the other servers who like to fight so we can have our fun too. Zergs have all the fun. lol

Here is a classy response for spawn camping true class (Its barely acceptable to do even if you are completely even matched) This shows me even more that you’re looking to gank people not look for fights

Are you sure your not from SoR?

Prophet.1038:

It is true oPP mostly never runs alone, usually in a group of 4-8. The only respectable roaming guild in BG is RIOT tbh, I usually seem them run solo or in groups of 2.

LOL, I guess when I feel like being respected, I throw on my RIOT tag. But when I’m slumming it, I’ll rep oPP.

Guess this is their definition of roaming the 2nd pic has more but they disappeared when taking it. I’m tired of Guilds claiming to roam when in fact I’ve never seen them by themselves to “Stand on Their two legs”.

Post Means
Don’t preach roaming if in fact you don’t solo roam or you roam with 5 or more.

Trying to preach how to roam but sitting on a wall behind the legendary guards yourself. How typical….

Blackgate has a lot of solo roamers, if our enemies get pushed back then there really isn’t anything to go out hunting for which results in our roamers gathering up in 1 spot. They’re hoping that numbers gather and that you’ll push out… Looking at the screenshot, you had numbers but yah…

I’m sorry this is the only pic or knowledge of one of your guild members being alone until in the end I got 1v3.

You should probably check the tag again. If you’re looking for one on one’s, the windmill is a great place. Open world pvp is well, open world pvp. Might I suggest to you a more mobile class? You seem to end up on the ground quite a bit.

I guess I stand corrected so I’ve never seen an OPP guy by himself. I’m just stating the facts the roaming is 1vW or at most 5vW after that your just looking for easy kills among the roamers. Even if its just 3 of yall plus pugs you always have to count them.

I guess since you haven’t witnessed it personally then we don’t roam? Just so you have “evidence” of the contrary, you might want to watch these and then reconsider a second opinion.

Enjoy!

That means PVT and clerics gear and the guild spec.

And that is exactly what the Guardian in the video I posted is wearing. Mostly Clerics, with the exception of 3 trinkets being PVT. I doubt your build is too far off as well.

O.o will take a look at it later then when i get more time.

kitten you and Gully for getting me talking properly <3

What the kitten is going on? The ultimate BG troll just had a serious conversation with the SoR Grand Master Troll. Did hell freeze over or did the world come to an end and no one told me?

Haha sorry you missed it Jado, i’m heading to bed but if you want a troll free talk on here tomorrow I will do my best to repeat this moment of weakness.

I’m always happy to talk about builds and theory crafting. That’s what we do.
