Best "All Purpose" Food For WvW?

It’s just really hard to see how 85 hp/s is going to save anyone. I guess someone that is immune to condis and is plenty tanky already, but in those cases they’re probably better off adding something more group oriented or simply pile on more foods.

I really don’t see much of a point to mango pie myself. If you’re too poor for saffron bread, there’s always the ghetto Taragon Bread which is more or less free.

Its listed in one of the meta’s actually or was for one of the classes I was looking up for wvw a couple of weeks ago. Not sure if that has change recently or not -shrugs-.

Personally I like the new foods but they are pretty expensive to make. -dmg% plus boon time is great…till someone strips ur boon lol.

There is no point to it cos it means nothing……are you saying that people do this because they can?? Well still means nothing and nothing to be upset about.

I’m saying I bet you five dollars a memo will go out to staff or it will be addressed in a meeting soon because too many have complained at this point and it looks bad on the company. Turning off the tag is a simple fix to make everyone happy and change little.

I play this game, and I want it to be successful for my own selfish reasons. Something like this is damming to a games reputation. This is not the first time nor the first MMO to have had a community flare-up over it. It would be a shame to see something like this damage such a great creation when the fix is so simple.

It would be absolutely shameful if they caved. The anet guild members should be able to be just as proud of their guild affiliation as the rest of us.

Most of the industry disagrees with you on this.

All these mango pie posts are giving me cancer. Please no. Only bad players would use that in WvW.

Saffron bread for defense. Seaweed salad (or asparagus and sage salad which is cheaper) for offense.

I’ve seen them use it on T1 servers when things get tight, but your suggestions are solid also. Not all foods work as well for all classes or builds. Mango has its place for those needing more vitality.

Your opinion on auto upgrades?

Very few are willing to babysit upgrades, siege and refresh siege all day and night because there is very little incentive or fun doing it all day and night. Why make it worse?

True, but there are people out there willing to do it. I think it’s up to anet to help promote upgrading.

And I’m not talking massive guild requirements and time frames. I’m talking about a player who shows dedication on their own.

Create an AP, reward of gold, and sup siege bundle. I would think that would be attractive to a player. AP rewards some ascended back piece that is unique. It could be a freaking trebuchet back piece art or something. Or several pieces…GASPPPPPP ANET.

I’m with ya! Something needs to be given to promote and reward the few that are willing to take on the mundane job of watching a keep. They are really special and any team is lucky to have them. I say that not because I do it often but because I am happy when I have others watching over the other keeps so I don’t have to try to keep them all up! Which I have done more than once.

I spend most of my time roaming, but coming across a player showing that much dedication hits a soft spot. They really are a diamond on servers, yet are not given the love. I would ask servers start throwing gold at these individuals for their time spent.

Anet, you feel me bro?

Interesting, I’ve been playing gw2 since Sept. 2012 and have never seen an anet claimed objective on any server I was on. I guess they keep moving around and I miss them.

There was a thread https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/In-which-worlds-does-ANET-play/first#post6498812 a few pages back which explains what they do.

Kamara, why would Anet cheat then put a claim on it? Conspiracy theory abounds where none exists.

Maybe because I’ve had a tag over my head before and know the powers of God Mode?

i think most amount of dev we had run in a group at one time was 4 dev in 1 squad. 2 of them are from the guild i do not think other 2 are in it may be wrong i do not keep tab on everyone in guild XD.

but just to be clear about one thing anet has 0 power from there home PC only workstation has Dev power.

All it takes to have admin is the right code placed in the correct files. Its that simple.
A dev environment platform is different and usually on a special server. Many developers work from home and can perform task in the event of an emergency. Some even have apps on their phone with alarms to warn them of event failures which they can then whip out a laptop on the fly to address it. The question is “who has what level of admin and access to the logs.”

i have been directly told by a dev that only there office has power to effect the game. im not saying it very hard to achieve but that the facts i know.

Hun I’m not trying to argue or say you are wrong. Truth is I don’t know how ANET has their admin levels set up. What I’m saying is it don’t look good. Several MMO’s have had issues with abuse of admin and they would do well to hide the tag during competitive play.

It is good that they are playing the game, because it gives them the opportunity to see and experience the game mode at the players level, but the tag needs to go in the back pocket during competitive play for obvious reasons.

There will always be an OP build in wvw because there are too many variables to balance without one class taking a hit to make adjustments. The only way to address it would be to make it more like the pvp mode which means someone will come undone because their shinies got nerfed. I run in all ascended gear with all the bells and whistles. It wouldn’t bother me if it was changed but others continue to resist it.

WvW is a competitive game mode, which means that any stat sets that were removed from PvP should also be banned from WvW. Rarity of equipment will be fine.

Really the biggest problem is just how much more powerful everything got with HoT.

I agree with you on that. The power creep along with new elites have made things worse instead of better. Don’t get me wrong I do enjoy the new classes but it all could have been implemented better with HOT in my humble opinion.

Its not about the rarity of the player’s gear at all. Its about what stat combos you can make. Changing this would lock many professions into single builds, with any experimentation outside meta leaving you at an insane disadvantage. So…no.

I disagree. Builds can still be flipped around, and faster with the other system. Its all about the shinies and having an edge over other ppls gear rather than skill with the way it is now.

The new jump pads made it much more manageable and gave solo roamers a solid target to take out to reduce enemy mobility. I like what they have done with a difficult map to make it more manageable. My only remaining wish is they would put armor repair on the same level and next to the WP so players wouldn’t have to face-plant jumping down for a repair. Either that or stairs at Stoic.

Ok, seems there are a few concerns, so let me give some info here (with no slight intended for the OP or anyone else participating in this thread):

  • We encourage our team members to play the game. Many of us do. This is a good thing for the game and for the community! This is good for every aspect of the game, from PvP, to WvW, to PvE, and beyond.
  • Sometimes playing the game in a competitive sense means.. you win! It doesn’t seem fair to suggest that a developer — who has absolutely no advantage on the live game — should back off, or intentionally take a dive, or move to a different server. After all, it’s likely they are and have been a participating member of a particular world for some time, and moving isn’t reasonable, nor is it required, nor should it be expected. I’m on a world that isn’t highly competitive, but I don’t find myself feeling the urge to move to a higher-ranked world. Conversely, if my world suddenly becomes competitive, I won’t be shuffling out of there to satisfy some edge-case expectation of me as a player or staff member.
  • No one is required to represent the ArenaNet guild. In fact, no one at the company is even required to join the Anet guild. Both are entirely voluntary. I rep other guilds, sometimes, but I rep Anet most of the time because that’s my choice. Other members of my team are not members of the guild at all. It’s very much an individual decision.
  • We don’t have a fully decked out guild hall if you mean in the decoration sense. You should have seen me scrambling to decorate for Wintersday. I’ve thought of taking up scribing to do more. Quite frankly, I feel we have a real dearth of decorations and going to other guilds’ halls to see how they decorate is always a treat for me, because they do it so well!
  • Did I mention ArenaNet playing ArenaNet’s game is a good thing?

They don’t have to do it with the corporate tag over their heads though. It sends the wrong message because we don’t know if they are also using admin powers to achieve their objectives because what they are doing is unprecedented in any MMO I’ve ever played in.

I mean no disrespect here Gaile, but you and I both know this is considered unacceptable in the industry because it gives the appearance of corruption and abuse of powers. Especially when its being done in competitive play. Also there is the advantage that being a staff member will naturally draw players to them without even trying to recruit.

This excuse don’t fly. Its a problem and it needs addressed. Please. Please for the sake of the game mode, give staff non anet tags or at least turn them off during competitive play.

perma tapping keeps? totally not an exploit

Kamara.4187

I would be open for it to have been multiple hits on siege/structures or killing a guard. But would this change really have any impact on the difficulty to tap in a way that makes it more rare to appear? Probably not.
I am fine with it, but be aware that this change wouldn’t change anything in the game.

I get what you are saying. I like that a wp can be shut down though, because its a solid strategy, and diversifies game play for those not working in bigger groups… However… how much damage can an arrow really do to a heavy iron cannon?

What I’d like to see rather than just shutting down a wp right off the bat is a some kind of warning, like a horn or an alarm from the guards. I’d like a fighting chance to keep that wp open. and lets face it, it takes a little time to circle a keep looking for a tapper.

I’d also like to see more reward for those that do defend and refresh siege. I mean many of us use egg timers or run an alarm on our desk tops to keep up with it. Its not very exciting most of the time, its expensive, and has the least reward with the most responsibility. That’s my two cents on it.

Oh ma gawd you guys are killing me. One of the things I really enjoy and that breaks up the boredom while babysitting a keep is finding new and inventive ways to kill tappers.

Most of you probably don’t realize this because you can’t be bothered to sit and watch a keep and refresh its siege…..

FYI I’m not joking or trolling. I do an insane amount of defending and refreshing. This is the one thing that breaks up the tedium of it. I would however agree that a single hit to a cannon or one hit to a guard not be able to lock up the way point. The siege should have to take multiple hits and a guard killed before the waypoint locks. Make defending great again!

The score is only a symptom and not the actual problem. Tweaking the score doesn’t change population balance or coverage issues. All it does is mask the problem.

Server linking was a band aid to that underlying condition. It sort of worked in that it creates some better matches and fixes the stale issue. Unfortunately they left Glicko and the RNG in the mix so matches still become lopsided.

The State of WvW

Kamara.4187

I have to agree with that, I’ve been with Crystal Desert for a while and it seems as though no ones really paying attention because we haven’t had a decent pairing or match-up in months. No offense to the servers we are paired with, they seem like nice people, just not enough of them.

We are currently facing a server that should be in T2/T3 and another that has at least 2-3 times our population. We where stuck with that kitten Desert Borderland for almost three months straight and the list goes on and on.

Because of this, we have been shedding players since people just get frustrated with playing out-manned literally 75% of the day, and servers taking advantage of this by k-training us when they know we simply don’t have the coverage.

My point being, if someone was actively paying attention to what actually goes on from a granular server level, these types of obvious imbalances should never happen.

That being said, we do have a solid core of good people so if any of you Guilds want a challenge, instead of stacking on the latest flavor of the month server, try moving somewhere where wins are not just handed to you. You have to earn them.

I’m with you on that. CD is my 4th server (just moved there this week with 2 others). I’m not really a server hopper, I just want to play in a simi healthy wvw community that the linking and server stacking hasn’t decimated. The quality of play is another issue when everyone in map chat are complaining about the lag which is worse on CD than when I was on a T1 server. T1 play is ok if all you really want to do is zerg, but I prefer multiple groups with 3-6 man squads while two larger 15-20 man squads fend off the larger assaults or attack across all the maps. I like fights, I like strategy. Running around in a blob is ok from time to time but it gets old and stale fast, but on CD I find myself avoiding it altogether because of the lag. Before anyone says anything yes I have a great gaming rig with all my setting set for performance. I’m not over clocking though my rig is capable. Yes its getting great air and not getting hot. This is server side and it needs attention…like now.

It would be nice if development took into consideration that the hot maps are much thinner in population, and toned down the challenges for hero points to help solo’s or maybe scale the bosses for group size. Its pretty miserable trying to get them alone and even worse with a lite armor class.

They lost their way trying to create WoW Jr with worse dungeons while trying not to look like complete hacks. In doing so they broke every single game mode, and profession in the game.

There are great things about the game but I’ll never trust the label or those that sat in a room and said “wouldn’t this be a great change”.

In fact I’m so put out with the industry I hope open source offers more in the future.

Remember the days when people used to go to LA/Queensdale to get help from people in PVE for golden rush/keep defend? When people felt great being in the server community?

Let’s bring it back!

Instead worrying about the gimmicks of names, let us have a gamewide server alliance chat system through all game modes that can easily be turned on/off, with some restrictions to avoid spam.

Some example restrictions could be:
- Only can write message in WvW – this will pretty much also limit the spam from f2p alt accounts
- One post per duration of time
- Maybe tied to wxp rank? Extra control on f2p alt account

Server loyalty and pride don’t really come from the name, it’s from the interactions within the server community.

For those that will say “But this won’t fix the population balance etcetc.” Of course it won’t. There is no magic formula to immediately fix the issue with 1 or 2 big changes – hopefully you realised that after all these years. Everyone will have their own, always conflicting, opinion on what makes WvW WvW. The only thing that no one ever disagrees is the sense of server community.

So why don’t we start with making the greater community care for WvW and on their respective server?

I really really like that idea!

And no I don’t see it as an advantage. Everyone knows the desert map is a bear to defend and still is with the jumps. In fact I’d say it gave the right amount of boost without being too much. This one the Dev team got it right!

Actually they’re catering to the majority. Which is why the PvP aspects of the game have become so sad.

I disagree in the respect that they cater to a few bandwagon super guilds and the servers they squat on (for the time being) while the rest of us are just used to fill their ranks. The match up my small server is in now is up against a server so stacked I’d rather just sit this one out rather than be face rolled for their amusement.

Thief and Mesmer in wvw

in WvW

Posted by: Kamara.4187

Kamara.4187

Thief on demand damage and on demand engage and disengage are just stupid, they can have 1 not both.

Tell that to Warrior, Druid,Mesmer, and a lesser extent Revenant.

Druid requires a resource build up, which is also ruined by reveal as CA has a cooldown unlike black powder>hs. Druid’s only gap creator is either staff 3 or greatsword 3 (and they rarely run both), so you get a 800 leap with travel time that also doesn’t break stuns.

More importantly, druid has garbage damage compared to thief, the burst damage isn’t even comparable outside a rapid fire which is not only a channeled ability that’s easily dodged or interrupted or reflected, but forces them into a weapon with no mobility or good defenses (knockback shot is easy to dodge as ever with the indicator and cast time).

Revenant can’t disengage from fights at all, don’t know what fantasy you’re trying to concoct here. It is one of the worst classes for roaming because it has no tools whatsoever to run away short of having a mob nearby they can phase traversal to.

Mesmer is not even comparable to thief because all you need to do to a condi mesmer is kite the clones and him. Mesmer has no chasing potential. It’s got a 30 sec cf blink with shorter range than shadow step and that’s as far as they can chase. Staff and scepter clones cannot hit fleeing targets as they interrupt their animations to chase and shatters need melee proximity.

Thief and warriors are the only classes that have ridiculous burst on top of immense disengage and chase potential.

You can run away from mesmers, engineers, guardians, necromancers, and druids; you cannot run away from thieves or warriors because they’re the classes with the best mobility in the game on top of the best spike damage power builds

Hmm easily able to due high Burst with Druid you must not be playing it right, and Staff along with Stealth from CA allow for great mobility and Disengage, don’t know what world you are living in, and yes Rev can Disengage using Skills like Phase Traversal and so on if you can’t think of ways to use the classes tools to benefit in any situation isn’t my fault, ( the two classes I play in WvW are Rev and Thief) and again that’s why I said to a lesser extent Revenants since they require targets or using skills other than Phase Traversal to Disengage.

And I guess you have never seen a decent Chronomancer, depending on the skill and build they can Disengage extremely well as well as Provide decent damage between Mimic, Blink, Continuum Split, and Phase Retreat on top of Stealth. Again it just takes skill and Class knowledge to make use of these resources.

again not my problem if you don’t know how to utilize these classes to their potential and outside the box.

all of those classes allow for braindead gameplay as well, again every class is Op in this game currently and every last class needs to be nerfed hard.

I agree.

Also where are the plush rugs? I’m seeing all this new content in the scribe deco panel but not sure how we can get it?

P.S. I do believe Raid guilds deserve their special trophies but usable content like floors and rugs and paintings should be available to the rest of us. Some Norn content would be nice also. TY.

Guildhall Floor Tiles locked behind raids?

I think Anet/Ncsoft needs to get off its collective kitten and fix wvw period…God knows there are no Ralph Koster’s among them but this is way past due.

No the problem is they push FOTM builds and slanted matches to promote more server transfers and material burning, All just to milk more money from its player base…It will only get worse till the industry is lined out by regulations…..

I agree but that don’t let the boardroom off the hook. They could address most of this but won’t. Right now my server is in a lopsided match thanks to server swaps and sandbagging. Really I’m just over it and its becoming a chore just to log in. If anyone knows of some good alternatives please message me about them.

Q-How would you describe the current condition of WvW?

A-A waste, Community decimation, an experiment gone terribly wrong with over the top egos not willing to fix it or devote the assets to do more than put a bandaid on it.

Q-What do you believe ANET needs to do in order to make positive changes to WvW?

A-Either bracket the tiers and adjust the maps to scale with server sizes, or completely restructure how wvw is played to adjust server stacking and lopsided matches. FYI smaller servers shouldn’t be cannon fodder and reserves for the cool kids……

Q-Is there anything wrong with the current system?

A- I really want to be constructive here but this question is like kicking a dog when its down. There are a number of threads on this subject that clearly point out the same issues over and over. This community is not clueless and Anet/ncsoft would do well to review those mountain of complaints!

Q- If so, what? What do you think needs to be changed the most?

A- No one thing is going to fix this mess and certainly not wasting resources to play “destroy a city and make a new one for a cheap storyline” when so much is wrong and needs addressed! However off the top of my head I’d say Lopsided matches because when a side is demoralized so badly people then start walking away from wvw which compounds the issue of coverage and population balance. Second would be power creep followed by class balance and condi. People get hostile when their class becomes useless along with so many having worthless skill trees that are never used. Either make it work or take it out!

Q-What are some of the good things, if any, currently being implemented in WvW?

A- Reward track was a step in the right direction, harvest nodes, but they would be more useful bundled into one node for the sake of being able to keep up with a moving team. Alpine being back, desert map still needs more wp’s.

Q-What is the biggest concern you have relating to skill balance and what are your thoughts about fixing it?

A- All classes need to be viable with reasonable balance. Flavor of the month just fuels player resentment and hostilities. This practice needs to end. Every class should be able to go toe to toe with one another based on skill and timing.

Q-What do you believe is most important to (BP) as a server? (i.e. population, coverage, community, coordination).

A-Server linking has been a wrecking ball period. Many issues we face concern coordination which are difficult to address when half of the problem doesn’t show up for what normally would be confronted in a server meeting. And even if they did there is an attitude that this linking will be over soon enough so why bother? BTW making smaller servers the reserves for the larger servers was a jerk move and some of us resent it greatly…..

Q-Do you think (BP) currently has enough coverage? If not, which time zones need help? Which time zones do you think are doing ok, if any?
Lastly, what would you say is the best thing about (insert server here’s) community?

Coverage? How would we measure that when we are always linked to a host server? Our server name don’t even appear on any map….We are just used to fill the ranks of other servers…..BP is an awesome little community. They are warm, helpful, super friendly. I left a t1 server to come here and I never looked back. I found a home here. Its a community worth saving.
