Guild Wars 2

Would be nice to see some of those things getting into the game to actually make the WvW meta fun again.

The potential is there. Devs just need to step away from their zerg mentality.

DevonCarver.5370:

We are going to take a holistic pass at siege weapons in the coming months and drop a rebalance of all of them to get them to more closely align with what they should be doing.

Months? This is a serious issue at the moment we speak and all you can come up with is that you will change it in the coming months. I am afraid Mr Carver that most people will be sick and tired of the WvW game you created before you ever get to change it.

I once used to be a great conqueror just like you. Then I took an arrow-cart to the knee.

Seems to be a trend in WvW updates that those who whine the most always get what they want. A-net probably doesn’t see that only a small percentage of the people posts on those forums and that the biggest amount of those people who do are only doing so to complain. Give it a break.

If you afraid to get locked down by an arrowcart with a warrior then make siege to get those arrowcarts down and then move forward.

Some awesome fighting today at desolation borderlands.
The constant battle at garrison which looked like cheese for pretty much the whole night was intense and it was nice seeing how desolation and vizunah tried to get a working tactic to take it away from seafarers.

Also the aftermath after we lost it was nice where everyone tried to get back in garrison for more fights like that right away.

Hope we can all have more fights like this. Although I have to say the amount of skill lag I had on my healing button was surely making my heart pump faster a couple of times xD

Keep it up!

I don’t mind the PvE content like Quaggans, Hylek and Dredge as it actually does give benefits to the overal objective. However PvE content like event bosses, grub and jumping puzzles leads people away from the actual competing aspect where the whole WvW is based upon.

If they are willing to make WvW a PvE grindfest then I am pretty sure that while they ensure more PvE’ers come to WvW that they will entirely kill the PvP population willing to play that aspect of the game. And in order to have fun match-ups you basicly need a hardcore WvW community.

Personally I probably will not bother with WvW and Guild-wars 2 anymore if they add stuff like this to WvW and make in a complete mess filled with PvE people who come there not to help the server out but to mainly get personal rewards themselves.
Think if they want to do this they need to add a Guild vs Guild option instead so those actually playing for the fights still have the opportunity to actually do so.

Got to admit. When it comes to doing everything you can do to win and putting those tactics into practice to actually win then yes Vizunah Square deserves to be number one.
Ofcourse then we will not take into consideration that the way they win involves a lot of lowhanded tactics where myself and a lot of people from my server do not wish to participate in.

Personally I couldn’t care less about who is on top or who is not as I just like to have some nice fights when I go out into the field to play. Sadly enough I would have to come to the conclusion that this was by far the most poor match-up every since our facerolling into T1 by the simple fact that Elona refuses to play and the French only run away when they see someone from SFR walking towards them so they can hide into their T3 tower with 10 arrowcarts behind the door.

Let’s hope you people are willing to fight next week and let’s hope Desolation is willing to put up some fights as well.

So much drama here. My god xD

When you look at the actual match-up apart from drama I think we can agree on SFR that this is without a doubt the most exciting match-up we had in weeks. It will be really close end with VS really pushing hard now.

I think that at the beginning of the week they underestimated SFR and that cost them a heavy beating with a load of points behind. On the otherside I think during the week SFR underestimated the long breath of VS who just took activity to the next level.
Could also be to due SFR actually not having to put a fight up for the last 3 days in the recent weeks because we were always ahead by so much that losing wasn’t an option.

This week we learn that in order to be and stay T1 you need to be active all week long. I hope we learn our lesson and can end this week with first place. And if we do not end up first we only have ourselves to blame.

Had lots of fun at BB BL today.
We had both BB and Elona pushing us with their whole server it seemed on bay and Greenbriar at the same time while us pirates were pretty unorganised so couldn’t organise enough defense for both which ended in the Spanish getting bay.
After we lost it we stepped it up a notch (too late yes) and managed to get some organisation going to keep Briar in our control and to do more offensive action as well.

Also I have to say that over the last 2 days on this borderland I really noticed the passion in BB playerbase to keep Arah under their control. They are really guarding it with love for the supply in there. Ended up in amazing fights the last couple of days. Thanks for that

Looks like Elona got some fighting spirit back again as well. Heared increased numbers and organisation reports coming in from multiple borderlands which only increases the fun for all of us.

Keep the fighting spirit up everybody and lets make it a nice week for everybody. Whether you win or lose

Have to say I rarely had so much intense battles in WvW as I had this week.
Really seeing some awesome fights from all servers. Keep it all up!!

Today I been roaming around in SFR borderlands. Really had a lot of fun there with Elona attacking our Garrison for most of the evening and with [IRON] showing off some nice defending skills and group organisation.
Was also fun when reading in our mapchat that our northern supply camp was under attack and that when I got out of the gate there was tons of siege up aiming at our door. Really laughed my bum off when I seen that. Had a really fun fight there.

Also kudo’s for my fellow pirates for taking the bay after we waited for Desolation to take the inner wall down for us. Awesome timing in moving in.
Curious how it ended as Desolation was already on their way to the inner again.

Let the fun keep coming guys! Well done!

Its sad to see that Arenanet gives in to those that complain the most on the forum simply because they don’t have the knowledge of how to counter this.

If they wanted to adress this ’’issue’’ this is probably the worst option of all viable ones to tackle it. Just increasing the amount of targets you can hit with an AoE attack or limiting the healing to 10-15 would have been a better choice.

If you want to put a stop to this then you would have to close WvW between lets say 2.00-7.00
That way joining a server where you are the nightsquad would be pointless because you can’t play WvW in that time.
