Info from previous test, which should still apply:
The test will likely run about two hours
Your feedback would be welcome in this thread
If you run into a bug, use /bug and fill out a report
Demo characters will be wiped in preparation for launch
If you see an existing demo character on your account, it would be helpful if you would please delete it or at least play on a new demo character
Thanks again!
Could another wipe be done after the stress test too? Some people are having difficulties changing servers by deleting all of their characters and it’s being theorized that the beta characters are counting against them which they have no way of deleting.
I disagree with this completely. Their wins/losses will place them properly in the bracket they belong in. There’s no need to lock anyone out of ranked pvp until they are better.
-Amalgamated gemstones
-Milling Basins
-Maybe Blood Rubies/Petrified Wood? They are taking up too much space, and I would rather save them up for future needs rather then salvage or sell them.
-Vision Crystals
-Philosophers Stones
-Mystic Crystals
-Doubloons
-Tomes of Knowledge, I am getting so much and dont know what to do with them.
-Agony Infusions
-Reclaimed Plates
-Chak Eggs
-Mystic Forge Stones?
I say what needs to be said, get used to it.
Honesty is not insulting, stupidity is.
>Class Balance is a Joke<
Milling basins have my vote too!
Amalgamated gemstones are a must in my opinion.
All sorts of scribing materials,
Legendary insights,
Reclaimed metal plates,
Chak eggs,
And doubloons.
Blade Shards.
Mystic forge crafting materials (stones, crystals)
Gifts for legendaries and the materials used to craft them:
gift of exploration
gift of Battle
Algamated Gemstones
ETC
guild weapon specific ores
Reclaimed Metal Plate
Doubloons
Crests
Agony Infusions
Luck
Edit: And could we please get another tab for stuff that is being suggested but obviously doesn’t fall under crafting materials. A tonic tab/consumables tab would be greatly appreciated.
The WvW team will be performing WvW maintenance on October 25, 2016, at approximately 11 AM PDT as we migrate WvW match data. We expect that there will be no downtime involved. If issues arise, we will update this thread. Otherwise, we will update the thread once the maintenance is complete.
It is really annoying being constantly full, it just burns out players who have to fill coverage gaps outside their playtimes. Especially frustrating when you see your opponents constantly running with blobs everywhere and having links, while your constantly stuck with full status and being unlinked. Servers need to recruit and attract new blood in order to stay competitive this is nothing and should not surprise anyone.
By competitive, you mean the competition of who’s server have the most numbers right? Now now look at the thread, it is base line that’ll change this ugly M-E-T-A (Most Effective Tactic Available) in WvW atm. Into something more guild/friend based coordinated play.
Not most numbers, a server needs coverage that can compete with their 2 other opponents in order to remain competitive, especially at the tier 1 level. Despite what some people like to believe, BG does not have massive blobs running all day, we have a lot of coverage issues which opponenets are always very quick to take advantage of. Keeping in mind we are constantly fighting servers that have links and never seem to go full despite running large numbers throughout the day. Every server that wants to stay competitive needs to bring in new blood, that is nothing new, and it needs to stave off player burnout.
If the most populated server in NA feels this way, isn’t it time reduce the number of tiers again?
Easy there, its only personal opinion I am not a spokesperson for an entire server lol. I dont know why anyone would find it surprising that a server needs to bring in new people from time to time in order to remain competitive. When you see a server rise up now its because of links or transfers (or both) but that server cannot remain competitive if it cannot sustain that population, I mean its not complicated.
In regards to tiers, Ive already made my suggestions about tiers and linkings in other posts.
Your server needs more players. And the players have to come from other servers. Then where do those other servers get new blood?
They can’t and will lose players and gradually become ghost town. So there comes my proposition of reducing the number of tiers futher.
Can u not see the relation?
You do understand we do not force anyone to come here right? We are not responsible for your server, we only play for ours, same as you do for yours. The bias in some of these posts is beyond ridiculous, to imply that there needs to be unfair treatment of a server that is simply trying to remain healthy and competitive just like every other server.
You people do understand it can also happen to your server right? When you advocate for these kinds of interventions, your the same people coming here to whine about anet destroying your server. The hypocrisy is through the roof. How about some of you put aside your bias and learn to think objectively for once.
BG loses matchups, has coverage gaps, is constantly locked as Full, and is always fighting servers that are open with Very High status and have links. Please explain to me, if this was your server in that position that you would not want to see it open up occasionally to get some new blood in so you can remain competitive. And I know you would because I see the posts constantly complaining about your servers being full or not getting a link, and fighting servers with links. The bias is getting old.

Just takes time… people will adapt and learn to prefix or suffix there calls in chat with the maps. This is probably one of the best QoL features that should have been available at launch. If it was, lazy communications would not really be a thing right now, outside of brand new players who are getting used to WvW. Still exists… I mean people tend to forget #‘s, opponent, or specific area they are attacking at said objective but good players will make good calls, while people who do not have strong communication skills, will need to learn to improve, or keep making poor calls. I generally won’t even go to assist someone if they can’t provide adequate information to make the call to move or not. Just because something is being attacked, does not mean the zerg has to engage on every instance. But no one would know if they don’t call it out.
I’m not complaining, just throwing a statement out there to see what duelers/roamers in general think about this build and it’s place in the dueling/roaming ecosystem.
nothing is more frustrating than trying to build an ac to defend a wall or gate and have it destroyed by eles or rangers or even engis before it can be built. Why can’t it just be invulnerable for the first minute? This would give us a chance to build it but still give the opponents a chance to destroy it after the first minute.
No. And if you want it to be invulnerable, then it also should not be usable for 1 minute after building it. If anything, I’d rather see defensive siege removed from the game to promote fights instead of standing on walls.
