Not that the champions are all that hard… Most of the champion points are easily duo-able. Some of them can even be solo easy (Vinetooth champion, lul)
Killing usually implies objective-taking.
Sometimes I just kill people that are walking in the road… And many more times I take objectives without killing anyone.
Not really sure if killing and taking objectives really correlate.
Another way to check what territory you are in is by looking at the objective icon at the top of the screen next to the score UI. It will always show the objective of the territory you are in. It’s a quick way to check territory color.
And that doesn’t tell you that you are about to enter an area with an arbitrary border that is not under your control.
No… The big red sign in the middle of your screen saying you are entering in a no fly zone is the one that do that.

Someone sent me the link of this thread and said I was required here… This is pure gold.
Nice to see you endorse this behavior….. real nice. Genuine Lord of the Flies.
What? People paid for their tag, so they have to right to use them as they see fit… People who don’t like it can either try to find another commander or community that accept them, or get a tag themselves and be different. However, the OP do not want to take any of these options and want to Arena Net intervene in somenthing that really isn’t necessary.
People have a right to play the game as well. It isn’t like finding a new group is that easy with the recent patches increasing WvW exposure. During prime time all the maps are queued. At that point they can’t just find another map/commander. Also if people start to randomly tag it can lead to some confusion in larger fights.
Secondly guilds decid to stack maps during reset in order to lock out randoms from joining the map. I think that open squads would be a good change for making WvW a bit more inclusive, maybe some off hours (Anet has the data) closed squads would be ok. I mean if you don’t like it you can just do something else right?
I’m not sure what server you are playing that have all maps queued on prime time… I’m on T2 and I don’t have that problem outside EBG and usually one Borderland… Maybe move out a stacked server to find more friendly people? Smaller communities tend to be more acceptative than larger ones. I left BG long ago and I don’t regret it one bit.

referring to a thread about bullying and excluding as being “pure gold”
He still have yet to post any proof of actual bullying and excluding… Until then it’s all drama llama to me.
Exactly, the objectives have now tactical means. Even Ruins. Isn’t it cool?
Honestly, I wish the ruins area was free tbh since they are only temporary objectives that are not capped most of the time. I’m completely fine with the area around the objectives.

Well, this is the drawback of gliding. This way prevents anything bad ever happening so it’s good.
It still don’t prevent people of gliding inside the tower from other angles…
i was in wvw today , someone / guild telling a player he or she is stupid , she should not play wvw , go back to pve ,so I step in , I told them , u did’t pay for her game , u got no right to tell her what she can or cant do , I have seen too much cyber bullying , ended up suicide , , so he got the guild to harass me by trying to stand up for someone he is picking on telling her she should deleted this game. you cant play bah bah bah , that is just mean and cyber bullying , I did not know that happen in gw2 ,
after that they follow me around , harass me , call me all kina names
for trying to stand up for someone they harass , they were discriminating , using racial slur , which I cant use here , and they told me its freedom of speech , and if u don’t like what they said , use the fillerenglish?
no Chinese , are you discriminating my Chinese English ? am I not allow to play cuz I’m Chinese ?
You’re not from Dragonbrand?
You’ll need at least 7650 tickets to make a full set of Legendary Armor on WvW (That if you don’t care about the T3 Triumphant Skins, which are another 2700 tickets)…
I hope this is enough to make you give up and finish your backpiece.
Cheers.
MUST REVERT! Visually disgusting
Keep gazing upon it’s beauty
You keep receiving pips after you complete diamond because it is repeatable. And they add to the count.
As far as OP is concerned, I don’t know what to say other than join a guild. I’ve been on a few servers, always play wvw and have yet to come across one server where there isn’t at least one guild that welcomes everyone. They may not be very good but you’ll get a guaranteed spot in squad. If that won’t work for you or any of the other suggestions people have made then I hate to say it but the problem is yours and no one else’s.
Oh no, you must be wrong… He said he have friends on all servers and that in every server every commander just bully everyone that isn’t on TS and kick them from squad…
People can still glide inside ogrewatch from the cliff on the side if they own Pangloss… The No Glide Zone don’t kick in fast enough…
This cliff didn’t even existed prior the patch of the gliders, I’m not sure why it was introduced.

I am asking for a forced open squad.
I finally found the TL/DR part…
I would be all for forcing open squads if they give us a invisible guild only tag that nobody outside the guild can see and only guild members (or invited people) can join.
Until then, suck it up my dear… We paid for our commander tag and we use it the way we want. If you are too poor to afford one, too bad, so sad. I worked for my gold and now I harvest the fruit of my investment.

B – Of course if you trigger an effect to cleanse by using a skill then you will take the condition damage. If you use a skill that cleanses first this wouldn’t be a problem.
Cleanses still trigger confusion damage. Which is kinda illogical.
I feel like your head is in the right place, but, to me, this would only spawn, “Troll” guilds that would go around claiming important things, only to grief and use the tactivators when they are not needed.
If someone would go through all the grinding that it is to level up a Guild Hall to get the claim over “important things” like Keeps just to troll, by all means, let them troll while you laugh at the unbeliveable lenght someone would go for it.
Besides, that can be done already if you stop to think. They just claim it and never let public activation off so nobody can pull the tactics, effectively denying them until the objective is flipped.

Also Necromancers need a buff to apply more torment because 2 stacks was really weak.
Scepter #3 causes torment based on the ammount of condition the target have.
should we also complain that all towers in EB are within treb range of their guardian keep?
Mendons is not at range of Overlook.
Durios is not at range of Valley.
Frontline Guardians are now stronger than before (Stronger virtues, stronger GS, Recieve the Light buffed)… lol k. We also see a nerf to the evil DH pull.
Ele staff has some small buffs, and thank god Overload Air was only PvE nerfed
I’m not sure PvE and WvW are now considered as separate since as a general rule WvW is still considered part of PvE. Can anyone confirm Overload air is still the same in WvW ?
All changes not listed as “PvP Only” are currently affecting WvW. If it’s intended or not, it’s up Arena Net to say.
CD held off both YB and SBI with a ton of Sup ACs while outmanned in EBG EU the other day… 4 times in a row. So it’s certainly possible to fend off blobs with the buff in place.
Yeah one can hold dumb blobs with siege placed… I did it several times back in Eredon Terrace. But in general you are just going to lose everything else while holding a structure or two.
Isn’t the points only from PPK? That give the outnumbered server a way to deal with attacks without the risk of just feeding points to the large threat. But let’s be honest: If there is only 10 of you in the map and a blob of 40 taking structures, you will not be holding much stuff…
At least yall can blast light fields to clear conditions instead of crying that you all died to epidemic.
Have they actually split PvE and WvW skills yet?
Of course not…
Now that I think about it — towers that can hit SMC:
1. Durios
2. QL
3. Klovan
4. Wildcreek
5. Anza
6. OgresSo I’m not actually seeing the issue. All towers can hit SMC.
If I remember right Ogrewatch cannot hit SMC. However, Overlook can (and can also be hit by it).
Sorry but scholar is almost completly useless on necro. Mesmers and Revs have alot of invuln or invis frames to not fall below 90% hp, while necros only defense is their hp and the ability to weaken their enemies. Even starting on 100% shroud instantly going into it shouldnt be worth it at all. Even Pack is just so much better.
Signet of the locust on a burst oriented build also just doesnt make sense imo.
And once again if he doesnt play blighters boon i cant imagine how he survives any fight at all.
Well, I said it myself, I prefer Pack over Scholars. I’m just trying to figure why would he use it and that was my guess. In the end, it’s entirely up to him to talk about it.
So he can play Scholar’s instead of Durability… That’s a huge damage loss imo.
Lmao people actually use Scholar on Reapers outside of pve? I mean I hope you know in most fights that involve an ounce of counterplay that is possible from anyone above a basic bronze, you’re not going to be at >90% health for the majority of the fight.
I’m pretty sure that the idea of the build is to burst people down with high damage while on death shroud (which means his HP is intact, thus enabling the scholar bonus). Also, there are quite a few builds who use scholar’s for professions who will try a one shot the target such as mesmers or revenants. Sure, it’s a hard rune to pull off it’s effect, but the fact that people think scholar’s is useless outside PvE is laughable…
I dont get why you would play reapers onslaught over blighters boon on a roaming build.
Im using blighters+dura rune to get locust swift to 21 sec swiftness … so u dont need that kittenty signet.
So he can play Scholar’s instead of Durability… That’s a huge damage loss imo.
I like running Pack runes instead for movement tho so I can ditch the signet for somenthing like “Nothing can Save You!” to deal with the block spam professions. You can get pretty much get perma swiftness from Warhorn (or from Spectral Walk if you run it) with it and it give 175 power and 125 precision which is a nice offensive boost and not a big loss compared to a defensive rune like durability.
Don’t worry… Next relink they will put BG+Mag since both are “not full”, so T1 can be BG+Mag/TC/JQ.
Legendary wut? But a funny one i saw once was Monsters I Like To Fluff [MILF]
I saw Man I Love Fishing with that same tag.
Drunken On Listerine Only [DOLO]
Tbh I’m hoping for like a minimum of 98% of forum suggestions to be ignored
they are ignoring forum suggestions?
now thats one reason of taking this game down
It’s not like they don’t do that already, ya?
I thought Mace Head Crack was guardian steal?
just let the thread die
Along with the commanders… huehuehuehue
Loot farmers go where the loot is most plentiful.
PvE is the obvious choice here.
Just pointing out the facts buddy.
the “facts” you are referring to I either addressed or don’t exist. I can only assume you have no argument against what I proposed. I will state for the record that my proposition is in no way expected to be adopted. its purely to satisfy my curiosity.
I made general statements, and those are the overarching facts about the situation. If I was directing anything to you then I would have quoted you in that post, but I didn’t, so I’m not concerned with your proposals at the current time.
Good luck with your proposals.
So, in the end, you’re just here to say “WvW should stay as it is and if you don’t like it you can go sPvP”?
I saw one guy flying the Anet tag on Darkhaven long ago…
when you say “freedom of stat choice” I get it, but at the same time it sounds inaccurate. due to my biased opinion I hear “3k armor 1.5k condi dmg+heal power” or “3.5k power 240% crit damage”.
That’s exactly the issue with freedom of choice… It can (and certainly will) generate combinations that can be considerated “brokenly op” which is no good for overall balance.
However, limiting choices is also a pretty poor path imo. Shows how poorly the game is balanced that some combos “cannot” be countered without prohibiting them of existing.
That kinda defeats the point. The point was to kill the arbitrary gear grind that WvW has and put everyone on a even field.
There were a few proposals in that regard on the first two pages. But in the end, we cannot have both “freedom of stat choice” and “stat balance”. One will limit the other.
We need a reason to play
And here I thought people played games for fun… Silly me.
All A.Net needs to do is remove shield gens and arcs form the game and it will help with balance.
Which would result in everyone using proxy catas and nothing you can do about them since there are no shield generators to protect the wall and no arrow carts to hit them. Genius! We’ll be able to K-train much faster this way.
If any maps should be reworked or made ever again, they should be made like ebg not a borderland map.
No, they should actually be EB IMO.
Not to improve the gameplay or anything, just to watch the hilarity ensue.
Imagine all the confused zergers.
Go to EB on logon gogogo even if its 80 man queue! Wait there are 4 EB? Where should I queue? Where do I go?! What will I do?!?! Who’s commanding EB? No not that EB, the EB I’m on!!! There’s no commander here! What, no there is a commander here why are people saying there is no commander on EB? We’re loosing SM!!! What do you mean “which SM”?! They are right outside Anza! No not that Anza, this Anza ffs!
Please Anet, make it happen. If only for a weekend.
Lol actually I think it was suggested in one of the map threads for them to try out ebg as the bl map for a week and make alpine or eotm as the ebg map. Although they could do it with just 3 maps, since even the full servers these days are only managing 2-3 map queues on reset night.
Red would have a “slight” advantage for the alpine map, depending on how much they would get double teamed. But yeah the map callouts would be hilariously confusing as hell, although they have the channels labeled now.
Well, if we would have several EBGs, they could problably give different keeps to each team in different maps. Like Red as Valley, Blue as Lowlands and Green as Overlook in one and Red as Lowlands, Blue as Overlook and Green as Valley on the other.
Honestly, it been suggested quite a few times that Arena Net should scrap the “Home Borderland” concept althogether and just make more 3-way maps like EBG. Desert Borderland tried to be a mix of both and it didn’t went well, but I’m sure that if they go on the full concept of EBG, it can be quite a sucess.
Or just bring 80 vs your 15 as mag just did against BG (because previous attempt with 40 failed)
Every time someone from BG complain about being outnumbered, my heart feels warm. It’s almost as if it was still alive.
Almost…
a lot of people don’t like to be forced to use siege, as siege vs siege is really boring. braindead boring. zombie braindead boring.
there ya go I just explained the point of the thread to ya.
Do you realise that without siege, WvW would just be a huge K-train of zergs punching gates/walls while defenders aren’t able to do anything unless they match the enemy numbers numbers? (Somenthing that is quite rare these days)
Honestly, siege isn’t even THAT powerful as you people claim. Most siege is pretty useless since Meteor Shower can hit 90% of the siege placements, while the other 10% can be avoided. The only times siege is powerful is when the enemy already have the numbers to push you, which is just sillyness from their part since they could have jumped out and fought already. However, that’s not to blame on siege but on the players themselves.

Pin sniping is lame, make all the excuses you want but it is just weak gameplay from weak groups. Get good and fight.
Then why people die to these “weak groups”? I guess the ones that need to get good are the ones that die after the pin sniping, no?
Drop EB.
Why drop the most popular map instead of working in the less popular ones? I don’t even play EBG anymore but I’m against anything that meddle with it until the borderlands are played as much.
Make a map with no Siege, I just want to see it, and see how much it would be played.
There is Obsidian Sanctum.
sPvP amulet system is an extremely boring, scripted, no brain, lackluster stand on the point AoE spam fest.
Sounds like WvW tbh…
Similarly with other transferable condis that those necros use all the time, especially against a rev on the enemy. At a certain point, I literally got all possible condis on my rev during a blob vs blob fight.
